Tang Yin nodded secretly. The men of Ning Guo were simply not as calm and sensible as the women of Ning Guo. He smiled lightly and said faintly: "The conditions are very simple. As long as Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi are willing to spend some gold and silver, we can redeem you."
." He deliberately spoke in an understatement, and then asked casually: "I wonder what your surname is, Miss?"
Judging from her age, she must have not yet left the cabinet, so Tang Yin did not call her Madam, but Miss.
Hearing this, Cai Youling's heart moved. Listening to Tang Yin's question, it seemed that he did not know his exact identity. If so, the possibility of him releasing everyone on his side would be much greater. She did not dare to report her true identity and said softly:
"My daughter is just a daughter of an ordinary family. She has a humble status and cannot be judged by adults!"
The young man turned back in surprise, looked at her, and said, "You..."
Seeing that he wanted to do something bad, Cai Youling secretly cursed an idiot and secretly tugged on the corner of his clothes. Even though he was slow to react, he understood what she meant. He suddenly came to his senses and said repeatedly: "Yes,
Yes, yes! They all come from ordinary people's families, and they went out with the army, but they were really helpless. I hope Lord Tang will be kind enough to let us go!"
This young man's name is Zhang Chu. He has high eyes but an empty chest and belly. He is a typical dandy from a noble family. His father is not a simple man. He is Zhang Zhihong, the right minister of Ningguo. His relationship with Cai Youling is indeed not simple.
, the Zhang and Cai families have already made a marriage contract for him and the two of them. Of course, this is also a typical political marriage between powerful people.
Tang Yin crossed his arms and glanced at them. Born into ordinary people's families? Would Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi send envoys to redeem themselves? That's nonsense. This woman is much smarter than the young man next to her.
If there are more, it will be much more difficult to deal with. He smiled and said: "Why did Miss Youling make up these ridiculous lies to deceive me?"
Cai Youling was shocked when he called out her name. How did Tang Yin know that her name was Youling? Did he already know her identity? Although her heart was tumbling up and down, the expression on her face did not change much. She was pretending
Calmly, he said: "Master Tang, although I don't know how you learned my name, my name is indeed Youling. But since you know that my name is Youling, you should also know that I am of ordinary origin!"
Her ability to tell lies with her eyes open really frightened Tang Yin. Looking at her calm face and firm eyes, Tang Yin felt that she was not lying, but the grinning expression of Zhang Chu next to her immediately made Tang Yin angry again.
Suspicious, if she is really lying, then this woman is too extraordinary. She is also too good at acting.
Thinking about it, he turned his eyes and asked Zhang Chudao: "What is your name?"
"Zhang Chu!" Zhang Chu answered simply without thinking.
Tang Yin had no idea about his name, he just asked casually. After hearing Zhang Chu's answer, he asked with a smile: "Are you really from an ordinary family?"
"Oh..." Zhang Chu hesitated for a moment, nodded, and responded: "Yes!"
There was no flaw in Cai Youling, but Tang Yin noticed something was wrong as soon as Zhang Chu opened his mouth. He squinted his eyes, smiled, nodded, and said, "You have been locked up in the room for a long time, come out and get some air!"
After speaking, he did not continue to ask questions, but turned around and walked out of the accounting room.
Hearing his tone softening, Zhang Chu's heart finally dropped as he raised his voice. He was still thinking silently in his heart that Tang Yin was quite scary on the battlefield, but in private he was pretty good and peaceful! He made a gesture to follow Tang Yin.
Walking out, Cai Youling hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, shook his head at him, and whispered: "Don't go out!"
Zhang Chu felt that Tang Yin was peaceful, but Cai Youling felt exactly the opposite. When Tang Yin was staring at her, she felt like she was not being stared at by someone, but more like being stared at by an alpha wolf, who seemed to be ready to show his fangs and pounce at any time.
Come up and bite yourself hard.
"Huh?" Zhang Chu not only did not listen to the advice, but instead put his arm around Cai Youling's shoulders and whispered: "I don't think Tang Yin has any ill intentions towards us. Maybe if we make him happy, he will let us go!"
"Yes, You Ling, let's go out and take a look!" Other Lingwu students gathered around and persuaded: "Anyway, we have fallen into someone else's hands now. If we extend our head, it will be a knife, and if we shrink our head, it will be a knife."
, it’s better to be more magnanimous!”
Cai Youling didn't know what Tang Yin was up to, and was annoyed by everyone's comments, so she had no choice but to follow them out of the camp.
When they got outside, they saw Tang Yin standing in the middle of an open space, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.
After walking silently for a while, Tang Yin stopped, turned to look at Zhang Chu, waved to him, and said with a smile: "Come here!"
Zhang Chu didn't understand what he meant. He looked at his companions and didn't dare to go over.
When he didn't leave, the surrounding Feng Army quickly came over. One of them grabbed one of his arms and dragged him away without any explanation. Without spiritual martial arts, Zhang Chu was no different from an ordinary person. He struggled desperately, but he couldn't break free at all.
He opened the palm of the soldier's hand, and finally, he could only look at Cai Youling with pleading eyes.
At this time, Cai Youling felt that it was both funny and wanted to cry. Her parents could send her sister to the palace and make her the Queen of Ning, who was inferior to one person and superior to others, but they betrothed themselves to Zhang Chu, an incompetent and cowardly fool.
Why is the contrast between the two sisters so huge?! She was furious and angry that she was useless. She turned her head to the side angrily, deliberately not looking at him.
Pulled by several Feng soldiers, Zhang Chu was brought to Tang Yin. The latter looked at him with a smile, and then waved to his subordinates, signaling them to let go of Zhang Chu.
Zhang Chu's legs were trembling, and he gritted his teeth and asked bravely: "Tang...what do you have to say, Mr. Tang?"
Tang Yin did not reply immediately, but lowered his head and looked around on the ground. After a moment, his eyes lit up, he took two steps, picked up a wooden stick from the ground, handed it to Zhang Chu, and said, "Take it!"
"This...this..." Zhang Chu was stunned by Tang Yin's inexplicable behavior and didn't understand what he asked him to do with the wooden stick.
Several other Lingwu students were also puzzled, and Monk Zhang Er was confused.
Tang Yin pointed to the base of the city wall with a smile and said, "Did you see that there? Go over there and push the wooden roller over your head!" As he said that, he raised his fingers to the soldiers under his command and said, "Bring the bow.
!”
At this time, Zhang Chu and other Lingwu students finally understood what Tang Yin meant. It turned out that he wanted to use Zhang Chu to practice archery.
No matter how you look at this scene, it feels very familiar. Suddenly, everyone remembered that Zhang Chu had done such a thing in his own military camp, but he was an archer at that time, and now
, he became the target of being shot.
Although people remembered this incident, they could not remember Tang Yin who was dressed as Ning Bing at that time. Only Cai Youling felt that Tang Yin looked more and more familiar, as if he had seen him before somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Master Tang, please spare my life! Master Tang..." Zhang Chu fell to his knees, spineless, with snot and tears flowing out, and he begged repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing? Quick, pull him up." Tang Yin smiled and ordered the soldiers on the left and right to pull Zhang Chu up, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, my archery skills are very accurate, and I will never hurt you.
." As he said this, he winked at the soldiers on his left and right. The soldiers understood and dragged Zhang Chu towards the base of the city wall.
At this time, Shangguan Yuanrang and others also became energetic. They stood behind Tang Yin one after another, smiling and looking at Zhang Chu, who was standing against the wall and shaking.
Tang Yin picked up his bow and arrow, and took aim at Zhang Chu, who was twenty meters away. He felt that the distance was too close, so he backed away more than ten meters, and then laughed loudly to Zhang Chu: "Your Excellency, please don't move. If I miss, I will be injured."
It won’t be good if I get to you.”
Hearing this, Zhang Chu grinned almost to the base of his ears, but his trembling body froze suddenly and did not dare to move.
Tang Yin raised the corners of his mouth even higher, and suddenly loosened the two fingers holding the arrow tail. He heard the arrow string snap, and with a swish sound, the black arrow shot straight towards Zhang Chufei like a bolt of black lightning.
flutter!
A muffled sound was heard from under the city wall, followed by a heart-rending howl.
Tang Yin's arrow did not hit the wooden stick above Zhang Chu's head, but shot into his left shoulder. The arrow was so powerful that it directly penetrated his shoulder blade. The arrow protruded from his back, and blood immediately
His middle coat was stained red, and Zhang Chu leaned against the wall, wailing desperately.
The other Lingwu students were also dumbfounded. Seeing Zhang Chu who was in pain, they couldn't help but step back.
"oops!"
When an arrow missed, Tang Yin shook his head and said, "I haven't practiced archery for a long time, and it seems I have regressed a lot!" As he said that, he raised his finger to the soldier beside him, who hurriedly stepped forward and handed him an arrow.
With the new arrow, Tang Yin picked up his bow and arrow again, aimed it at Zhang Chu, and fired another arrow.
Pounce! This time he did not shoot Zhang Chu in the shoulder, but in the thigh. The sharp steel arrow easily pierced through the muscles of his thigh, and its force was so fierce that it was almost set into the stone bricks of the city wall.
"ah--"
Zhang Chu let out another shrill scream. He couldn't stand anymore and fell to the ground with a thud.
Tang Yin turned a blind eye to his pain. Instead, he grinned, raised his long bow, and asked the general beside him: "Who is interested in giving it a try?"
"I'm coming!" Before anyone else could say anything, Shangguan Yuanrang stepped forward and took the long bow from Tang Yin's hand. Then, he put on the arrow, pulled the bow string, and shot another arrow at Zhang Chu on the ground.
Pounce! The arrow hit Zhang Chu's arm. At this time, the latter only trembled and couldn't even scream anymore.
Shangguan Yuan Rang still wanted to continue shooting, but Tang Yin already smiled and said: "Yuan Rang, it is a rare opportunity to practice archery. Let General Shen come and try it too!"
The General Shen he mentioned refers to Shen Zhichen.
When the latter heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly and said with a wry smile: "Sir, I don't know how to shoot!" He was a civil servant, and although he is now the commander of a regiment, he still doesn't know how to shoot.
