Wan Yanyan got sick inexplicably and recovered inexplicably.
In the morning, I still had a high fever and was unconscious. In the afternoon, I was very active and ate three bowls of tofu nao.
Wan Yanyan wiped her mouth and asked, "Are all you Han people as smart as you?"
Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "Actually, there aren't many Han Chinese who are as smart as me."
"There aren't many Han Chinese who are as thick-skinned as you." Wanyanyan glanced at him, picked up the long knife on the table, and started chopping in the yard.
She was wearing Zhao Man's clothes, her hair was not braided as before, but was styled in a fringed bun, and she had a gold walking stick on her head, making her look like a Han woman.
Of course, she comes from the grasslands, so she still looks quite exotic. Dressed in Han Chinese clothes, she actually looks a bit unique.
Tang Ning stood at the door and looked at her for a while. What she saw was not her beauty, but her sword skills.
She wielded the whip with style, but her sword skills were really unsightly and full of flaws. Either she didn't study hard, or the master who taught her was just a half-assed master.
Even Tangning could see the flaws in her swordsmanship, which showed how bad her swordsmanship was.
In order to confirm his guess, he looked at Butcher Zheng on the side and asked: "Old Zheng, what do you think of her knife skills?"
Butcher Zheng was drinking. When he heard this, he didn't even raise his head and said, "I don't know how to use a knife."
Speaking of which, Tang Ning seemed to have never seen him use a knife seriously. The only time she saw him take action was with a butcher's knife in his hand. It was no different from killing pigs and chopping meat.
The old beggar once said that the more expert you are, the less likely you are to pursue fancy and complicated moves. Tang Ning has not yet reached the threshold of this level. He doesn't even know how to use fancy and complicated moves.
However, everything has a process. Even if Lao Zheng has now reached the stage of seeing mountains as mountains and water as water, it will not be achieved overnight. Tang Ning did not believe him at all when he said he did not understand sword skills.
Butcher Zheng took a sip of wine, looked up and said, "She doesn't know how to use a knife either."
Wan Yanyan's ears were quite sharp. After hearing this, she came over, looked at Butcher Zheng, and asked, "You said I don't know how to use a knife, do you understand?"
Butcher Zheng continued drinking and ignored her.
Wan Yanyan clenched the knife in her hand and asked, "Do you dare to compete with me?"
Butcher Zheng raised his right hand and casually made a knife-swinging motion.
At this moment, Tang Ning felt chills all over her body, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Clang.
Wanyanyan's eyes showed fear, and the long knife in her hand fell to the ground. Just now, she seemed to feel that the person opposite was not waving a hand, but an extremely sharp knife.
Her back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, her face turned pale, her legs were weak, and she could not move forward.
Butcher Zheng shook his head at the wine jar and turned to leave.
Plop.
Wan Yanyan finally collapsed to the ground.
Tang Ning helped her up and walked towards her room, she said earnestly: "There is a stronger among the stronger. A mountain is higher than a mountain. Don't try to compete with anyone you meet. If you meet a
Bad temper, you are dead now..."
Wanyanyan and Tang Yaoyao are a bit similar, but the difference is that Tang Yaoyao will not overestimate her own capabilities. She will only bully people she can beat. The little barbarian girl on the grassland is a bit reckless. This
If you have this kind of character, you will suffer big losses in the future.
However, Lao Zheng's strength still exceeded his imagination. If he wanted to make the little man's legs weak with just his momentum, he didn't know if he would be able to do it in this life.
Now that her health is better, there is no need to delay any longer.
Early the next morning, the mission set off again.
After a serious illness, Wanyanyan finally stopped shouting that she wanted to kill him all day long, and during this time, the changes that happened to her didn't stop there.
It took her half a month to finally learn to use chopsticks. If you just look at her appearance and behavior, you can no longer tell that she is a prairie woman.
Half a month after the mission entered the Chu Kingdom, they switched from land route to water route, but after only two days of journey, they switched to land route again.
The Chen State had an army that was familiar with water, but the imperial troops were in the palace all year round and could not get used to the bumps of the waterway, so they vomited to the sky.
Zhao Man and Wan Yanyan were not much better. Even Tang Ning felt a little uncomfortable and had no choice but to order to disembark.
It's been like this for two days. If it had been a few more days, the whole delegation would have been tortured and only half their lives would have been left.
As a result, the time will naturally be a few days later than expected.
On the ninth day of June, more than three months had passed since he left Chen State. In a dense forest in a certain state of Chu State, Lu Teng jumped off his horse, walked up to Tang Ning, and said, "Master Tang, we will arrive at Chu State at noon tomorrow."
It’s Kyoto.”
Tangning also breathed a sigh of relief. She had never traveled such a long distance in her life. This journey was finally coming to an end.
call out!
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of wind, and an arrow shot out from the forest and nailed the tree in front of him.
Lu Teng's expression changed and he shouted loudly: "Be on guard!"
Many of the imperial guards had their weapons unsheathed.
One person pulled out the arrow nailed to the tree and said, "Sir, here is a piece of cloth with words on it."
Tangning waved her hand and said, "Take it here and take a look."
He took the piece of cloth and looked at it.
"The man named Tang is in the north, three miles away. You personally bring someone to replace your deputy envoy."
Lu Teng looked at it and said, "I will lead a hundred guards over there and replace Lord He."
Tang Ning shook her head and said, "They asked me to go. One hundred people is too many. I can just bring fifty people. If they attack in the east and attack in the west, it will be easy to deal with them here."
He put away the piece of cloth, walked to a carriage in front, knocked on the carriage, Wan Yanyan's head poked out of it, and asked: "Are you eating so soon?"
"Let's go." Tangning looked at her and said, "Your people are here to pick you up."
"So soon?" Wan Yanyan's face showed a look of surprise at first, then hesitantly asked, "Can you finish the meal before leaving?"
Tang Ning made her eat three bowls of tofu puffs and brought ten steamed buns with her before taking Old Zheng and fifty guards to the north three miles away.
The distance of three miles is not long and can be reached in an instant.
In the clearing in the forest ahead, more than ten figures appeared.
"Master!" Wan Yanyan shouted and ran over quickly.
The guards behind her were about to stop her, but Tang Ning waved her hand, and several guards stopped and allowed her to run past.
Several people in the crowd on the opposite side came up to her with excited expressions and chattered something to her. Wanyan Yan also chattered back a few words.
What she said was probably "I'm fine" and "don't worry", but Tang Ning couldn't understand the rest.
During this month, Tang Ning occasionally taught her some deeper uses of Chinese, and she also taught Tang Ning some simple prairie dialect.
A man looked at Wan Yanyan and murmured: "Princess, you seem to be different from before."
Wanyanyan looked at him and asked, "What's the difference?"
The man scratched his head and said, "It seems... I'm fatter than before."
Tang Ning still knew how to say "fat" in prairie dialect. Two days ago, he accidentally discovered that in the past month, Xiao Manniu seemed to have gained a lot more weight than before. This was normal. Considering that she ate three meals a day,
He eats three bowls of food in one meal and sits in a carriage all day without exercising. It's strange that he doesn't gain weight.
Of course, her body was originally on the thin side, but now she just looks plump. Strictly speaking, she is not considered fat.
Wanyanyan grabbed the man and beat him hard. Tangning took two steps forward, looked at the middle-aged woman, and asked, "Where is Mr. He?"
The middle-aged woman looked behind her and said, "Give him the man."
The two people walked out from behind him, pushed a figure out, kicked him on the butt, and shouted: "Go over!"
Tangning looked at the man in front of him who was in ragged clothes, with messy hair, and a face covered in dirt. He was even more ragged than the sloppiest beggar he had ever seen, and asked in surprise: "Are you... Mr. He?"
He Rui looked down at himself, and then looked up at the woman opposite, who was dressed in silk, wearing pearls and jade, and whose face was full of glory. Thinking of what he had experienced along the way, he could no longer hold back the sadness in his heart, and couldn't help crying.
