Upon hearing this, Xiao Ningzi immediately knelt down and said in fear: "This slave is loyal to his master. He will only recognize his master in this life. He will never betray his master. Even if someone puts a knife on his neck, he will never betray him."
meeting."
Faced with his urgent words, Nala stroked the handrail carved with peony patterns and said with a half-smile: "It won't work if I put it on your neck, but what if I put it on the neck of your younger siblings?"
Xiao Ningzi felt a chill all over, as if he saw Ning Zechi and his sister being tied up in front of him, forcing him to betray the Nala family. The next moment, he lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said: "These slaves have done so much with their master over the years.
Concubine Xi will never let the slave go. To say the least, even if she is willing, Sanfu beside her will not agree. Therefore, the slave will never betray the master. If Zechi and the others are really killed, the slave
There is only one request.”
Xiao Ningzi's answer surprised Nala. He nodded and said, "Let's talk about it."
Xiao Ningzi said word by word: "This slave begs the master to win over Concubine Xi, and then ask the slave to poke two holes in her body to avenge Zechi and the others."
After a long period of silence, Nala nodded and said, "You have seen this situation clearly and know that Niu Hulu will never spare you."
"So the master can absolutely trust the loyalty of the slave. The slave..." Before Xiao Ningzi could continue, Nala raised her hand and said: "Okay, I understand in my heart." After a pause, she said: "
When she was in Qiandi before, Mrs. Niu Hulu used counter-intuitive tactics to make Li Wei pretend to defect to Tong Jialiluo, and in the end Tongjialiluo was defeated miserably at her hands."
Xiao Ningzi's mind was spinning, and she suddenly said: "Master hopes that the slave will be like Li Wei... But will Concubine Xi believe it? Besides, she may not necessarily attack the slave's family. If she doesn't, the slave will not.
Reason to seek refuge with her."
"Yang Hai will definitely tell Niu Hulu what he saw when he goes back this time. According to my understanding of her, even if he doesn't take action, he will definitely send someone to monitor you. During this period, you can go home more often.
, the more you show that you care, the more Niu Hulu will feel that he can use his family to control you. As for me, I will also find ways to make Niu Hulu believe it is true."
"Yes, I understand." At this point, Xiao Ningzi hesitated to speak. Nala saw this in his eyes and said: "I know what you are thinking, no matter whether she will follow my instructions or not."
The palace's plans will not harm your family for the time being, so don't worry. Alas, if you still
There is a feasible solution, but I am not willing to do it. I am really forced to the point of nowhere by the Niu Hulu clan. In the most difficult days of my life, you have always been by my side, you and me.
They are called masters and servants, but they are actually relatives. Your relatives are not my relatives."
Xiao Ningzi nodded vigorously and said: "I understand my master's difficulties. I will definitely do it according to my master's methods, and I will try my best to win the trust of the Niu Hulu family."
"Okay!" With this word, Nala showed a cold smile, Niu Hulu, Lingruo, do you think you will win? No, as long as I live for a day, I will not let you sit down easily.
The position of noble concubine.
In the days that followed, Xiao Ningzi followed Nala's orders and often went out of the palace to visit Ning Zechi and his wife. At the turn of spring and summer, she even took a sum of money to help Ning Zechi buy a silk and satin shop.
Let him have his own shop. As for the younger sister of the Ning family, she has also entered into a good marriage. Although she is not from an official family, she still has a lot of property. Her fiancée is also a man who has read poetry and books.
With the reputation of being a scholar.
Even so, Xiao Ningzi was still quite dissatisfied. If in the past two years, when the Nala clan was at its peak in the court, he would not have considered such a family at all and directly asked the Nala clan to help choose an official family.
.
When Yang Hai told Ling Ruo the information he had obtained from following Xiao Ningzi again and again, Ling Ruo had some doubts in his heart, but he did not say it explicitly and only let Yang Hai continue to follow Xiao Ningzi, no matter where he went.
Follow it like a maggot attached to your bones.
When summer finally arrived, news of victory finally came from Yaksa. This was an extremely difficult battle. The Qing Dynasty invested more than 300,000 troops to fight the victorious army against Jungar.
After withdrawing, the firearms battalion was sent to support. In this way, we barely won the victory, with nearly 100,000 casualties.
Such a result does not necessarily mean that Fo Biao is much worse than Yunli. After all, Tsarist Russia is better at using firearms than Jungar. This puts Fo Biao at a disadvantage from the beginning. It is very rare to win this battle.
.
After Fobiao returned to the capital, he paid homage to the crown prince, Taibao, and the ministers of bodyguard. The remaining generals also received rewards one after another. As for those who died in battle, they were all compensated.
In July, all the battles came to an end. All the Qing Dynasty had to do was to recuperate and offset the impact of these two wars.
At the same time, good news came from Hongli. Mingyu was pregnant again. Since her last miscarriage, Mingyu had been depressed. Now that she was pregnant again, she was in a much better mood, with a smile on Hongli's face.
There are also a few more.
Looking at the warmth in Hong Li's eyes, Ling Ruo said: "Mingyu once had a miscarriage. You must be more careful this time to avoid any more accidents, especially Nala Xianyue. This woman is full of scheming ideas.
The most important thing to pay attention to is.”
Hongli hesitated for a while and said: "I know, but I feel that Xianyue has changed a lot and should... not do such a thing again."
Ling Ruo glanced at her and said: "A country is easy to change, but a nature is hard to change; Nala Xianyue... is always Nala Xianyue. Don't think that she has become another person just because she saved you."
Although Hongli still disagreed a little, he did not argue any further and lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, Eniang, I will pay attention. By the way, how is your sixth brother? Have you become more obedient?"
"It's almost the same, but he and Jia Rou are getting along very well now." Speaking of this, Ling Ruo remembered something, "You have always been good at riding and shooting. If you have time in the future, you can teach Hongzhan. I see.
He really wants to learn this."
Hongli hesitated and said: "Of course I have no objection, but I'm afraid that my sixth brother will be unhappy when he sees me and won't want to learn from him. Otherwise, E Niang will choose a guard to teach my sixth brother how to practice archery."
"Since you want to learn, you must learn from the best. Your archery was taught by your Emperor Ama himself, and it is far better than those of the guards. As for Hongzhan... I have my own way to convince him." After that,
, Ling Ruo stood up and said: "Let's go, I will take you to see Hongzhan."
Before Shui Xiu could raise his hand, Hong Li had already taken the first step to support Ling Ruo. His action made Ling Ruo quite strange, and she chuckled and said, "What are you doing? Shui Xiu and the others are here, aren't they?"
