464, bet?
Chu Ling sat in the garden of the city lord's mansion basking in the sun. The warm sun in early winter shone a little cold. Cangyun City is in a high terrain, and even this season is already a little cold. Because he was injured by internal injuries, Chu Ling was strictly prohibited from using internal force by Yun Xingyue, so he had to wear a cloak to keep the cold.
The little squirrel jumped around on the table in front of her, looking very energetic. Seeing that Chu Ling ignored her, she would occasionally scream to show her presence. Chu Ling heard its cry, and reached out to touch its little head. The little squirrel immediately rubbed her palm happily. Although this little guy had a bad temper, he was still very close to Chu Ling, the master, even if he was not always by his side.
"Princess...Madam." Mingxuan walked in with the maid from the City Lord's Mansion, and immediately shouted happily when he saw Chu Ling sitting in the garden.
Chu Ling looked back at her, nodded slightly and said, "I heard that you have been very busy these days, how are you doing?" Mingxuan smiled and said, "Let the lady laugh, we can only help a little bit." Mingxuan is indeed very busy these days. Several of the girls were seriously injured when they were guarding the city before, which completely exposed their previous actions to their families. Some were ordered by their families not to act arbitrarily, some were still making trouble with their families, and of course, there were a few who were supported by their families.
Mingxuan did not have this problem, but now Mingnuo is busy, so she naturally has to help with her brother. So she has been so busy that she can't even breathe. Today, she finally got to rest and then hurried to the city lord's mansion to see Chu Ling.
Chu Ling said with some relief: "You have improved a lot in the past two years. By the way, those girls... are all okay?"
Mingxuan shook her head and said, "There are two sisters who are seriously injured, but Mr. Yun has already visited her and will not leave any troubles. Princess can rest assured. The others are slightly injured and can be lively. I'll come today..." Mingxuan looked at Chu Ling with a little hesitation on her face. Chu Ling smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it." Mingxuan smiled embarrassedly and said, "Let the princess laugh, we...we want to follow the princess and kill the enemy."
Chu Ling paused the little squirrel's hand, pondered for a moment before saying, "Have you thought it through clearly? To be honest... If a woman had not been strong enough to a certain extent, she would have no advantage over a male soldier when she went to the battlefield. I have seen all those girls, except you, at most, there are only two people with this strength."
Mingxuan was a little disappointed, but if you think about it carefully, you can understand. Who would really want to let a group of women go to the battlefield to kill the enemy? But... she was still a little sad. They really admired their wife and really wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy like her.
Chu Ling looked at Mingxuan's somewhat sad expression and couldn't help but smile and said, "But... nothing is absolutely impossible. As long as you do it yourself, you can always succeed. But do you really understand? Going to the battlefield is not a game, or even a female hero who is a hero who is a hero who is a hero who is a hero who is a hero, but who will die if you are not careful. This time you will only be seriously injured at most, because you should understand why. Because you have never been on the front line of charge. If one day you really go to the battlefield, it is very likely... what is waiting for you is not to make achievements and be remembered, but to have all been wiped out before you have done anything. Such things are not uncommon in the army."
Mingxuan nodded firmly and said, "Madam, please believe us. Those who can persevere to the end must be prepared." Among them, there must be those who are unwilling to withdraw from the middle. In fact, there were forty or fifty people at the beginning, and there were only more than twenty who still insisted on staying these days.
Chu Ling thought for a while and said, "Go back and tell them what I said clearly. If they can convince the family members to agree, you can bring them to see me again in three days." Mingxuan was overjoyed when she heard this. She knew that the wife had agreed to accept them. Women like them, even if they practice martial arts more diligently than ordinary male soldiers, the men of Cang Yunjun would only coax them as little girls and would not take them seriously.
Even Mingxuan herself, except for her brother, did not think that she could do anything. She was just pampered by her parents at home, and because she was strong enough to protect herself, she let her do anything. Only by following her wife can they truly do what they want to do. Because the wife is also a woman, she will definitely understand them.
"Yes, madam!" Mingxuan replied loudly.
Chu Ling smiled at her and said, "Go."
"Mingxuan leaves."
When Mingxuan went out, Zhenniang came over with the tea. Chu Ling turned around and smiled at her, "Why didn't Zhenniang come out just now?" Zhenniang shook her head and smiled, "The little girls are really amazing now. If my subordinates are present, Miss Ming is afraid she will be uncomfortable. Madam really plans to take these girls to the battlefield?" Chu Ling sighed lightly and said, "I know what Zhenniang is worried about, and I am also worried. They are all delicate little girls, and if they accidentally go to the battlefield, they will die. But... think about it carefully, which of the thousands of soldiers on the battlefield, don't only have one life?"
"After all, it's okay to do some relaxing work. There is no man suitable to fight on the battlefield." Zhenniang said.
Chu Ling smiled and said, "Actually, we can't think so. It's because they are all girls, so those who really dare to stand up must be women with excellent abilities, qualifications and courage among women. So, seriously, their abilities and even potential are actually stronger than most men in the army."
"It seems that the lady has already made plans?" Zhenniang said curiously.
Chu Ling lowered his head and took a sip of tea, thinking, "It is not a simple matter to expel the Celestial tribe from the Central Plains. Now the north is still peaceful, and the lives of the people are not easy. When the war comes, I am afraid that the people will be in trouble again. Not to mention anything else, if the Tianjun Wuhuan did not come back in time a few days ago, Cangyun City was really broken, Zhenniang had thought about what would happen to the people of Cangyun City?"
Zhen Niang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "I have been in Cangyun City for a long time over the years, but I have forgotten the hardships outside. If the women in this world are like wives, I am afraid that those people of the tribe will have to consider it if they want to bully them. I always think that those delicate girls stay in the city and live a stable life is better than anything else. But if they can do a few things with their wives, they can set an example for women in the world."
Although Princess Shenbiao is also considered a unique female hero in the world, it is precisely because of this unique role model that it seems meaningless. The legendary experience of Princess Shenbiao and her noble identity make people feel that they are out of reach. Such experiences and identity are naturally different from others, but they have little to do with whether she is a woman. There will not be many women who think that they can become the second Princess Shenbiao. The so-called role model always makes people feel that they can achieve even hard work, right? No one will regard the fairy in heaven as the goal they want to achieve, and it is not a question of cultivating immortals.
"What is the princess going to do?" Zhenniang asked.
Chu Ling turned his head and thought for a while, and smiled and said, "I plan to incorporate them into the Divine Blessing Army."
Zhenniang, Shenyoujun, has heard of it, and is a personal soldier of Princess Shenyou. This arrangement is not bad.
"Who will A Ling take to the Divine Blessing Army?" Jun Wuhuan walked from the other side and asked with a smile.
"City Lord." Zhenniang quickly got up and bowed, and Jun Wuhuan waved her hand to signal her not to be too polite. Chu Ling supported her chin and told Mingxuan that she had just come. Jun Wuhuan raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Those girls... are not bad. A Ling thinks it can be done, but you can try it."
Seeing that the two of them had something to say, Zhenniang whispered back. Chu Ling raised her eyebrows and looked at Jun Wuhuan and said, "Oh? Do you know them?" Jun Wuhuan said, "These two days we have been walking in the army, Mingxuan takes those girls to help. If it weren't for A Ling, I wouldn't know that there were so many female heroes in Cangyun City."
If Chu Ling hadn't been here this time, even if Jun Wuhuan and Mingxuan were replaced, they would never have come to Jun Wuhuan to ask for a fight. These girls were not stupid, of course they knew what they were like in the eyes of men. Even the city lord would not believe that these little girls could help.
Chu Ling leaned against Jun Wuhuan and said lazily: "It's all one head and two hands. There are not so many things in this world that only men can do women cannot."
"Oh?" Jun Wuhuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "A Ling thinks that women can do anything men can do?"
Chu Ling raised her head and looked at him with a smile, "Why don't you tell me, what are you doing that men can do but women can't do it?"
Jun Wuhuan said helplessly: "If you compare A Ling, there are really few things that women cannot do."
Chu Ling said: "Actually, many things are not something that cannot be done, but they dare not think about. Since they have already thought about it, why don't I give them a chance to prove themselves?"
"It's good if A Ling is happy." Jun Wuhuan said.
Chu Ling gave him a blank look, "I know you think they are whimsical, how about making a bet?"
Jun Wuhuan raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you betting on?"
Chu Ling smiled and said, "A bet that they can defeat the Clans on the battlefield one-on-one within a year."
Jun Wuhuan was a little surprised, "A Ling really wants to bet on this with me?" He won the people of the Cang tribe one-on-one, let alone those girls who have never been on the battlefield, even Cang Yunjun dared not say that they were sure to win. Chu Ling said, "Just say, don't you bet?"
Jun Wuhuan pondered for a moment, "What is the bet?"
Chu Ling's eyes rolled and she smiled and said, "Just bet... If I win, you promise me something."
Jun Wuhuan disagreed, "Even if I don't win, I will still agree to what A Ling wants to do."
Chu Ling said: "That's hard to say. I'll bet on this anyway. Remember... you have to agree to anything." Jun Wuhuan shook his head, "It's still not possible. If something endangers A Ling's safety, of course I can't agree."
Chu Ling glared at him with some depression and said angrily: "Don't you think you are becoming more and more boring? Or do you actually know in your heart that you can't beat me?" Jun Wuhuan looked at her with a smile, "A Ling, it's useless to provoke me. But... Since A Ling is so confident, I will naturally bet with you. Why not, if you win, I will give you Cangyun City, and you will be the lord of Cangyun City in the future?"
Chu Ling rolled her eyes, "I am the city lord? Are you the city lord's wife?"
Jun Wuhuan thought about it, and after a while, he said, "Shouldn't he be the city lord or the like? What if I win?"
Chu Ling blinked, "I will give you the title of Princess Shenyou? I will be the prince consort?"
"..." Looking at Jun Wuhuan's wooden expression, Chu Ling finally couldn't help but laugh in his arms. Looking at the person who was laughing happily, Jun Wuhuan could only sigh helplessly and patted her vest to prevent her from choking her.
In the end, the two of them didn't explain what they wanted to bet. They thought about it carefully and seemed that there was nothing to bet. Everything Jun Wuhuan had could be shared with Chu Ling, and vice versa. There was really no need to place bets. However, Chu Ling was even more determined to train those girls to become talents.
There are many things in this world that cannot be done, but they dare not think about them. Since they have thought about it, why can't she give them a chance to prove themselves?
In Shangjing Imperial City, thousands of miles away, Tuoba Liang was in the morning court when the news of Tuoba Yin's defeat reached the palace. He didn't even care that Tuoba Luo was present, Tuoba Liang smashed the clan who was sent into the palace on the spot and cursed, "Baoman! Waste! Tuoba Yin was embarrassed to be known as a famous general of the Northern Jin Dynasty! Xie Tingze could not defeat Xie Tingze, but Xie Tingze died and couldn't even capture the empty Cangyun City! How could he be brave enough to live!"
The civil servants and generals in the hall lowered their heads one after another, and some people secretly glanced at Tuoba Luo who was sitting aside with obscure eyes. Tuoba Luo rarely went to court in person because of a leg injury. Originally, everyone was a little curious about why Tuoba Luo came to court suddenly today, but now they understand a little. It was indeed because of His Highness Shen? It seems that Tuoba Luo had already received the news of Tuoba Yin's defeat.
Nangong Yuyue sat on the side and yawned lazily. Her eyes met Su and Mingguang opposite her. The two looked at each other and then casually looked away as if nothing had happened.
"His Majesty, calm down." Someone advised.
Tuoba Liang sneered and swept the table on the table all over the floor, "Stop the anger? How to calm the anger? Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Clan were buried in Western Qin, and now they have lost their troops and generals in Cangyun City. How many soldiers of the Clan can withstand such troubles?"
Everyone was silent. The population of the Clan was much smaller than that of the Apocalypse. After tens of thousands or tens of thousands of times, it seemed that there were not many, but it was enough to think about it carefully.
"Your Majesty, the most urgent task now is what to do with Cangyun City." An official stepped forward and walked forward.
Tuoba Liang looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think?"
A general came out and said, "Your Majesty, now Xinzhou, Runzhou, Cangyun City, and Western Qin are not at peace. The last general asks Your Majesty to send a large army to conquer, so as not to let the Ancestral people forget the power of our Iron Cavalry."
In fact, it is most effective to deal with forces like the Jingbei Army. However, no one paid attention to the Jingbei Army at the first time. By the time we took it seriously, the Jingbei Army had already hooked up with Cangyun City. It was a move that would move. If the army was pressing against Cangyun City, it would definitely be launched, because Tuoba Liang's attention was outside the pass in the past few years, so he naturally refused to use large-scale troops to Xinzhou. So now the Jingbei Army has become more and more powerful, and it has colluded with the Tianqi people to attack Runzhou.
The most terrible thing is that there are vague rumors in the capital that the young general of the Jingbei Army, Ling Chu, is the Shenyou Princess of Tianqi, so the Apocalypse is willing to send troops to help the Jingbei Army capture Linjiang City.
This news is only circulated among the powerful people in the upper class of Shangjing, and ordinary people outside do not know about it.
If the left prime minister who went to the Apocalypse could solve the problem of Princess Shenyou, the news would naturally never have to be spread. After all, this was really not decent news for the Northern Jin Dynasty.
Tuoba Liang frowned slightly, his eyes swept over Nangong Yuyue and fell on Su and Mingguang, and finally settled on Tuoba Zan.
Tuoba Zan seemed to understand Tuoba Liang's meaning, and went out to the list and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead my troops to Cangyun City!"
Tuoba Liang lowered his eyes and said lightly: "You are just afraid you are not Yan Fengxiao's opponent."
Tuoba Zan's face was slightly darker and said, "I haven't beaten you yet, how did Your Majesty know that I am not Yan Ling's opponent?"
Su and Mingguang suddenly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think you are?"
Tuoba Liang was stunned and looked at Su He Mingguang. Su He Mingguang said: "Su Heyuan goes with you."
There was a hint of hesitation between Tuoba Liang's eyebrows, and he naturally believed in Su He Mingguang's ability. However, Su He Mingguang was an ally but not a minister. Moreover, Su He Mingguang's previous attitude towards Chu Qingyi also made Tuoba Liang unsure of his mind. Su He Mingguang was not in a hurry and said slowly: "I am willing to serve Your Majesty, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to understand clearly. Su He is not a person who has deposed the public for personal gain."
Tuoba Liang was not determined for a moment and was no longer anxious. He waved his hand and said, "I will discuss this matter later. I don't know what you think you should deal with King Shen?"
The hall was immediately inflated. Since Tuoba Liang had already said the word "disposal", it was obvious that he had no intention of letting Tuoba Yin go. It was a rare opportunity that no one would let go if he had changed. The court immediately divided into several groups of people to argue, and demanded severe punishment of King Shen, and demanded that he should be slighted and there would be two sides and mud or messy places. The entire hall became more lively than the vegetable market. Who said that only Tianqi scholars were good at talking? As long as there were intrigues and power struggles in this world, they were similar.
Nangong Yuyue looked at Tuoba Luo with great enthusiasm, and it was rare that he did not interrupt.
Tuoba Luo did not rush to speak. When the court was already in a bad mood, he raised his head and looked at Nangong Yuyue who was also staring at him, and nodded slightly.
The smile on Nangong Yuyue's face suddenly became even stronger. Su and Mingguang on the opposite side saw this scene and raised their eyebrows slightly: "Okay, Tuoba Liang is eager to kill them all, but he really pushed the Tuoba Luo brothers and the Yantuo family together. The matter in Shangjing Imperial City is indeed much more interesting than the little fights and quarrels of their Hulan tribe.
