Ning Xiu kept his word and went to the Chu army camp the next day.
This time he took the Qi Army's ship, so he went there in an official capacity.
Yang Shu's mood was even more complicated.
Not only did he leave Mingwei behind, but even the negotiation was done on his behalf by his senior brother.
He desires like never before to make himself stronger so that he can protect the people he wants to protect.
He had been restless all morning.
Duofu stood at the door and looked forward eagerly. Xuanfei and King An were playing chess in the room, and Cao Yong came over from time to time to inquire.
At noon, there was finally news from the outside.
Yang Shu ran out like a gust of wind and picked up Ning Xiu who had just landed.
"Brother, how are you doing?"
Ning Xiu's face really wasn't pretty, and his heart sank.
"Where is she?"
Hearing that his voice had changed, Cai Shou, who was accompanying Ning Xiu, quickly said: "Your Highness, King Yue, don't worry, Miss Ming is fine, she's fine."
Only then did Yang Shu calm down.
Cai Shou immediately said: "We'll talk about it when we get back, we'll talk about it when we get back!"
…
"What?" Cao Yong was shocked, "What kind of statement is this?"
Jiang Shou spread his hands: "In short, this is what we heard."
This morning, he accompanied Ning Xiu to set out for the Chu army camp and asked to see their commander through legitimate channels.
It was Shi Qing who came to see them.
The Chu army did not even let them ashore. Shi Qing also came out in a boat and met them on the river.
"You go back, the second young master won't see you."
Ning Xiu said: "If he doesn't see you, won't he see you tomorrow night? I said, you can exchange that thing for someone else. If you want something else, you can also bring it up."
Shi Qing smiled, with helplessness in his smile: "Mr. Ming can't come out to see you."
"Why?"
"Because he can't meet your demands. He can't be the master of Miss Ming's affairs."
Ning Xiu heard the implication.
Mingxiao is... falling out with Tang Shao? He can't take care of Mingwei's affairs now?
But why? Tang Shao is where he is today only because of Xing Gong’s help. Why would he fall out with Ming Xiao?
At the Chu Army dock, a cargo ship arrived.
Many goods were unloaded by the soldiers.
Cai Shou didn't look right. Why was there so much red silk? It looked so festive.
"Then, what is the Second Young Master Tang planning to do?" Ning Xiu asked calmly, "If you don't want to kill her, and you won't let her go, what are you going to do with her?"
Shi Qing's eyes also fell on the red silk.
"Keep it...get married!"
His tone was very calm, even a little careless.
Ning Xiu was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he heard wrongly: "What did you say?"
Shi Qing's eyes moved back and he looked at him calmly: "I said, get married. The second young master wants to get married to Miss Ming."
"..."
Shi Qing didn't want to say any more, so he bowed his hands to them and ordered the sailors to push the boat back.
Before leaving, he said: "You don't have to come again. We won't meet the second young master, at least not before the wedding."
…
Cai Shou continued: "We walked around the Chu army's camp for a while. It looked like we were about to hold a happy event. The Chu soldiers were still discussing who the bride was."
It is not difficult to find out this information. Cao Yong went out for a while and it became clear when he came back: "It is indeed true. The date has been set, and it will be more than ten days later."
It is not uncommon for two armies to confront each other and use this method to demoralize the other side.
So Cao Yong quickly accepted it and said: "We must not let the wedding take place, otherwise our Daqi will lose face."
This time was different from the last time. Mingwei's so-called kidnapping happened in private. Even if Nanchu claimed it, it would only be enough for a chat after dinner.
This time, the two armies were caught during a confrontation. If the wedding was really held successfully, it would be equivalent to being slapped in the face of Qi Jun.
Cao Yong was very capable of action. After saying these words, he went out to make arrangements.
This is not only a matter for Yang Shu, but also for the Qi army, and even for the entire Qi country.
"I'll go help too." Ning Xiu said.
King An hurriedly said: "Then I will supervise Meng Chong to prevent him from not paying attention!"
"Your Highness..." Duofu opened his mouth, but was stopped by Ah Xuan.
"Are you hungry, Your Highness? Let's go see if there is anything to eat. What can you do if you don't eat? Only when you are full can you save Miss Ming."
After leaving the room, Duofu broke away from his hand and shouted: "What are you doing? Why don't you let me talk?"
Ah Xuan had nothing to do with this silly girl, and he might not be able to beat her, so he could only "shush" her desperately to silence her.
Duofu was finally willing to give him some face and didn't shout out again.
Ah Xuan took her to the kitchen and said as he walked: "His Highness is in a bad mood now, let's not disturb him."
Duofu said aggrievedly: "I just want to say that I must save the young lady! She will definitely not want to do this."
"You're going to save him regardless of whether you say it or not! Aren't you talking nonsense?"
Duofu cried "Wow".
Ah Xuan was dumbfounded: "You, you, you... don't cry! I didn't say anything to you!"
When I was with Ah Wan before, if something like this happened, Ah Wan would just beat him to death.
"It's okay, don't pay attention to me, I'll just cry." Duofu said while wiping away his tears.
What else could A-Xuan do? He could only stand aside and wait for her to finish crying.
After a while, Duofu finally stopped. She said with red eyes: "The fifth young master said before that the second young master of the Tang family was weird to the young lady. I think he was either trying to slap Qi Guo in the face or just wanted to
Marry my lady."
This is the first time I heard about this Ah Xuan.
He hurriedly asked: "What's going on? What did Mr. Ji Wu say?"
"Let's just talk about this! That Second Young Master Tang is very aloof to the lady. He doesn't get close to her, but he is very nice. I can tell from listening that he just likes my lady."
"..." Ah Xuan thought to himself, His Highness must not know this, otherwise...
Wait, did His Highness really not know that he was in such a bad mood? Maybe he had feelings for a long time? If he likes the same person, it must be easy for them to feel each other.
It's over, it's over, let's put it this way, this wedding is not just a simple blow to morale, let alone let it be held.
"Does Miss Ming know?"
Duofu wiped his red eyes, thought for a while, and said: "I think the lady may have feelings, but she may not know it so clearly. The lady's mind is rarely focused on such things. What's more, we cheated him to death before
After killing his father and escaping from the Chu Kingdom, the young lady may feel that this feud is so irresolvable."
These words made Ah Xuan feel wary.
Tang Jing, the Duke of Dai, was shot and killed by His Highness himself! From this perspective, His Highness was the father-killing enemy of the Second Young Master Tang.
In this case, it is very possible to forcefully marry Miss Ming just for revenge!
Isn’t it appropriate to repay the hatred of killing one’s father with the hatred of taking away one’s wife? (To be continued)
