The prince joined forces with the grassland envoys to murder King Xin, disrupted the Queen Mother's ceremony, and created a cocoon for himself, bringing his own disaster.
Today, the rebellion happened, the prince was deposed, and the grassland people fled. Only a few servants were left in the post. After hearing the news, they had already escaped from the post. More than a hundred forbidden troops were ordered to hunt him down throughout the city.
"stop!"
On the street, a figure knocked over several stalls and ran away quickly, with dozens of forbidden troops chasing after him.
There was a lot of excitement along the way. When the people on the street saw this, they ran away one after another. After the group passed by, they pointed forward and started talking.
"What are you doing?"
"Didn't you see those forbidden troops? I heard they were arresting the thieves who were planning to kill His Highness King Xin."
"How dare you attempt to murder the prince? They should be caught and all of them cut to pieces."
"You were still called Prince, now you should be called Your Majesty."
…
While everyone was talking, a woman dressed in white and with a worried look quickly passed by them and headed straight ahead.
A moment later, somewhere in the middle of Beijing, there was a deep alley.
Dozens of guards forced the prairie man into a dark alley, with no way ahead.
A general stepped forward, looked at the man, and said, "Let's capture him without any effort, and we can avoid the pain of our flesh and blood."
However, the prairie man did not respond. He found a wooden stick from the corner, took a stance, and looked at them warily.
The general glanced at him, waved his hand and said, "Take it!"
When several forbidden soldiers drew their weapons and slowly approached the front, the woman in white fell from the sky, grabbed the man's shoulders, stepped on the wall for a few times, and flew over the high wall in front of them.
The general was stunned and said loudly: "Don't let them run away, chase them quickly!"
On the other side, the woman in white grabbed the man and walked quickly through the alleyway. When he reached a deserted place, she put him down and asked worriedly: "Where is Tangning?"
The man looked at her, patted his chest, and said gratefully: "@#%￥#%￥&*..."
The young woman froze on the spot, "What did you say?"
The man patted his chest again: "*&%￥@#&%&%!"
The young woman was shocked: "You are not from Chen!"
"Over there!" The man did not answer. Ahead, the pursuing guards had discovered them and were surrounding them.
…
On the streets of Chu State, Tang Ning led Zhao Man to sweep store after store.
Everything about our trip to Chu State is over. Before we go back, we naturally have to bring some specialties back.
When leaving Kyoto, Zhao Yuan asked him to buy eight or ten boxes of rouge when he returned. Tang Ning simply bought one hundred and eighty boxes. There were many girls in the family, and it was not easy to go abroad, so she might as well buy more.
He exchanged some of his hundreds of thousands taels of silver notes when he came to Chu State, but he hasn't spent much of them yet.
In addition to rouge and gouache, Chu's fabrics and jewelry were also different from Chen's. Tang Ning also bought some of them and gave them away as gifts.
There are not many customers on the streets today. In fact, Kyoto will not be too lively in the next three months. There are too many taboos around the death of an emperor. Goulan wine shops are not allowed to open, brothels are not allowed to operate, and marriages or weddings are not allowed.
Other celebrations.
The stone that weighed on her heart was relieved, and Zhao Man returned to her true nature. A woman's true nature is to go shopping and go shopping. After walking half a street, the accompanying guard was already covered with things.
She even bought a rabbit as a pet. It was snow-white. She didn’t know how long she would get tired of raising it. Then she would have to consider whether to make a griddle rabbit or a shredded and roasted rabbit...
Tangning stood on the street, looking at the southern sky, wishing she could spread her wings and fly back.
After being away from home for so long, he missed Xiaoyi, Xiaoru, Xiaoxiao, Fang Xiaoyue, Su Huxue's bed, and even somewhat missed Tang Yaojing's fist.
Naturally, I also miss my mother and cousin Tang Shui...
He thought about it and looked at Tang Shui who ran out of a street ahead, holding his shoulders and staggering, and felt that he must have hallucinated because he missed them too much.
But why was it that Tang Shui's cousin was transformed? Even if it wasn't Xiao Ruxiaoyi, she should be Tang Yaoyao or Su Huhu. Could it be that in his subconscious...
"Catch her!" A Forbidden Army general ran out of the alley, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said loudly: "Catch her, he is an accomplice of the grassland people, we must not let her escape!"
Tang Shui covered the wound on his shoulder. In the past two months, he had been traveling day and night. He was exhausted. After the battle just now, he was almost exhausted. He fought with only a will.
"sister!"
Hearing the sound coming from the front, Tang Shui raised his head and looked at the figure running towards him, finally letting go of his heart.
Then his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.
Tangning took two quick steps and caught her before she fell.
The young general ran over, looked at him, and said: "Master Tang, this assassin just injured many of our brothers, she..."
"What assassin? She is mine, not an accomplice of the grassland people." Tang Ning hugged her up, looked at the young general from the Xin Palace and asked, "Are the soldiers' injuries serious?"
The young general was stunned, then reacted immediately and said: "They are all minor injuries."
Tang Ning took out a banknote and handed it to him, saying, "Just think of these as brothers' soup and medicine expenses."
When the young general was about to refuse, Tang Ning had already handed him the banknote, turned around and left quickly.
A man stepped forward and asked, "Commander, do you want to pursue me?"
The young general waved his hand and said: "It was just a misunderstanding, so there is no need to pursue it."
As a confidant of King Xin, he naturally knew the relationship between Lord Tang, the princess, and King Xin. His great contribution to the prince's escape this time was due to him. Regardless of whether the woman was an accomplice of the prairie people, since he stepped in to stop her.
Now, he can't pursue it any further.
But that woman was really powerful. Dozens of them besieged her, but she killed them alive and injured many others. If she hadn't been merciful, she might have suffered a lot of losses.
Thinking of the few killing moves she had taken back at the critical moment, they didn't look like assassins. They must have really misunderstood.
He handed the thousand-tael banknote to the person behind him and said, "Change these into silver and divide them among the injured brothers..."
In a jewelry store not far away, Zhao Man walked out of the store and was about to speak with a smile. When he saw the woman in Tang Ning's arms, he immediately asked nervously: "Who is she?"
Tangning walked quickly in the direction she came from and said, "It's too late to explain. Let's talk about it when we get back!"
…
Splendid Palace.
Doctor Wang withdrew his hand from Tang Shui's wrist, smoothed his beard, and said: "This girl was just overworked and slightly injured, which led to her fainting. She just needs to rest for a few days and she will be fine next time."
I'm going to grab some nourishing medicine right now."
"Excuse me, Doctor Wang." After Doctor Wang left, Tang Ning pulled down the clothes on her shoulders and found a bloodstain below her collarbone. Fortunately, it was just a skin injury. She applied the wound medicine he prepared.
There won't even be any scars left afterward.
He first fetched water, tore off the clothes on her shoulders, cleaned her wounds, and applied medicine. Tang Shui, who was lying on the bed, suddenly woke up and grabbed his wrist.
Tang Ning looked at her and said, "Lie down and don't move. I'll help you apply the medicine."
Tang Shui looked down, his face immediately covered with a layer of pink, and said, "I'll do it myself."
"You are my sister, this is what I should do." The doctor does not distinguish between men and women, not to mention only the shoulders. Tang Ning pushed her to lie down, and finally covered her with a quilt after applying a piece of clean gauze.
Then he looked down at her and asked, "Why did you come to Chu Country?"
Tang Shui did not answer this question and asked: "The prince was deposed. Didn't King Xin give you any trouble?"
"Why is King Xin so difficult..." Tang Ning said halfway, but she already knew in her heart that she might have misunderstood that they were the ones following the prince to rebel.
He looked at Tang Shui and comforted him: "Don't worry, the matter is over. We will set off back in a few days."
Tang Shui's expression finally relaxed and he said, "It's just fine."
Tangning lowered her head and looked at her, feeling warm in her heart.
Just because of a "cousin" who was not related by blood, he traveled thousands of miles and came to Chu State alone. In this world, there were not many people who would treat him like this.
Between the two of them, talking too much would be pretentious. Tangning helped her tuck the quilt and said, "You lie down and have a good rest first, and I'll make some medicine."
Zhao Man was waiting outside the door holding her rabbit. When she saw Tang Ning coming out, she immediately asked, "Is Sister Tang Shui okay?"
Tangning touched her little rabbit and said, "It's a small injury, it's okay."
"It's fine." Zhao Man looked at him, then looked down at the little rabbit that kept moving in his arms, and said, "Why does my little rabbit keep moving? It makes me so itchy. How can I make it quiet?
Come down..."
Tang Shui was in need of replenishing his body. Tang Ning looked down and said, "This rabbit may have ADHD and is hopeless. How about we make it into rabbit meat stew..."
