The female officer in the palace raised her head and looked surprised, as if she had seen something incredible.
Although Her Royal Highness the Princess is very beautiful, she has always been polite to outsiders. She has been with the Princess for more than half a year and has never seen her smile like this.
After being stunned for a moment, she immediately nodded and said, "Yes, his name seems to be Tangning."
Li Tianlan looked at her and said, "I understand, you go down first."
After the female officer bowed and exited, Li Tianlan walked to the back hall and used his sword to carve a scratch on the wall behind the hall. There were hundreds of dense scratches on the wall, occupying more than 30% of the wall.
She was dancing with a sword in the back of the palace. A white-haired old woman squatted on the wall, shook her head, and sighed: "Idiot..."
The Chu State has made some military maneuvers in the past few days, mainly because a certain tribe in the grassland has evil intentions towards the Chen State's border. When it comes to the issue of treating the grassland, Chen and Chu are one and the same. The decision to send troops to reinforce the Chen State has almost no effect.
No one objected.
However, before this measure could be implemented, the end was announced in advance.
The Wanyan tribe originally wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in Chen State and cooperate with a country from the Western Region to invade. However, as soon as the rebellion in Chen State started to show signs, it was suppressed by Thunder. If they invaded at this time, they would definitely encounter the full resistance of Chen and Chu.
.
Three hundred miles south of Chen Guofengzhou, there are more than a hundred camps scattered on the endless grassland.
In a certain camp, a man strode into the camp and raised his head and said: "Prince Qi, my subordinates have confirmed that after the defeat of the Crown Prince of Guizhou, Yili and the others were captured by the Chen people and have now been escorted to Chen.
The capital of the country..."
"Inadequate success, more failure than failure!" The young man above snorted coldly and said: "If you say that Chen Guo Jiangnan has fallen into their hands, I know you can't believe them. There are also timid juniors from the Western Regions. They are just a Jiangnan.
They are scared out of their wits, how long do they want to be Chen Guo’s slaves?”
The person who came in to report stood quietly, waiting for the third prince to finish venting.
This time they made a big fanfare and mobilized troops in order to seize this huge achievement. Once the Chen State fell to the south of the Yangtze River, the tribes led by the third prince would be able to take advantage of the situation and seize the Chen State's Guan Nei and Hedong.
With such achievements in opening up new territories, how could the eldest prince compete with him for the position of Khan?
But all of this came to naught with the defeat of Prince Qian in the south of the Yangtze River. They mobilized a large number of troops, but in the end they were just trying to draw water from a bamboo basket.
After the second prince vented his depression, he said in a deep voice: "Send negotiations with the Chen State's court and use Chen State's captured generals to exchange Yili and the others back..."
The man bowed and said: "Yes..."
The third prince came down from above. Thinking of the beginning of this matter, he clenched his fist and said, "If Yan'er can give the tribe in her hands to me, why would I have to mobilize so many troops!"
The people in the tent did not speak and slowly retreated.
After the death of the second prince, the eldest prince and the third prince fought overtly and covertly for the tribe in his hands, and almost fought. No matter which one of them gained the power of the second prince, they would immediately surpass the other and aspire to the throne of Khan, but no one expected that,
This huge bargain actually fell into the hands of the fourth princess.
Perhaps the Khan had not decided how to distribute the power of the second prince. When the fourth princess made this request, the Khan agreed to her request.
After the fourth princess came back from Chu Kingdom, she seemed to be a different person. She used to never care about the affairs of the tribe, but now she seems to have the intention to compete with the two princes for the throne. After taking over the power of the second prince, she became even more
This completely established the three-legged situation of Wanyan Department.
Regardless of men or women on the grassland, as long as they can conquer and fight well, they are all warriors. Among many tribes, it is not uncommon to see female Khans. The man exited the tent and thought of the four princesses far away in the tribe. A look of reverence appeared on his face.
color.
The grassland is very large, and the Sushen people are not the only ones who thrive on the grassland. Even the Sushen people exist in the form of small ethnic groups and small tribes. Each tribe is not monolithic.
Deep in the grassland, there is a vast and endless pasture.
On the grassland, the method to judge the strength of a certain tribe is very simple. The more fertile the grassland and the more abundant the water source in a certain place, the more powerful the tribe occupying it.
This pasture is of the highest quality, both in terms of area and quality, and the one who occupies it is the Wanyan tribe, which is the most powerful among Sushen's tribes. Since the death of the second prince, this pasture has been given to him by the Khan.
The fourth princess.
Somewhere in the pasture, a dozen fat sheep were grazing leisurely, completely unaware of the approaching gray figures in the distance.
Those were several gray wolves, taking advantage of the grass to slowly approach their prey.
When they felt that the prey in front of them could no longer escape at this distance, they jumped up high, stared intently at the necks of the sheep, and opened their big mouths full of sharp fangs.
By the time the stared sheep realized the danger was coming, it was obviously too late.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
At this moment, several sounds of breaking wind suddenly came from ahead.
Several gray wolves failed to bite their prey. Their throats were pierced by arrows, leaving a bloody hole. They fell to the ground and twitched a few times, then became silent again.
"The wolf is dead, the wolf is dead!"
"The sweat is so strong!"
…
Several fast horses galloped from the front. Riding on the horses, a child about eleven or twelve years old jumped off the horse, pulled out the arrow from the gray wolf's neck, turned around and said loudly: "When I grow up, I will also
To become as powerful as Khan, kill all the Han people, and seize their territory and delicious food..."
Wan Yanyan quickly dismounted from her horse, knocked him on the head, and said: "The Han people also have many good people, and Han people's children have parents just like you. We must live in peace with them, and you can be friends with them.
, they will also treat you to delicious food..."
A little girl of eight or nine years old jumped off the horse, looked at him, and said dissatisfied: "Iribu, you must listen to the Khan and don't kill anyone!"
Wan Yanyan picked her up, kissed her rosy face, and said, "Bu Xi is still good..."
The young man lowered his head and whispered: "I know..."
Wan Yanyan looked at him and said: "Remember, we are not enemies with the Han people. The Han people have many things that we need to learn. You have to study Chinese well. When you learn it, the Great Khan will take you to the Han people's place.
A place to play…”
Thinking of the fun and delicious things the Khan once said about the Han people, the young man nodded repeatedly and said in clumsy Chinese: "I, Yilibu, will definitely learn Chinese!"
Wanyanyan smiled and nodded, but her pretty face turned cold at the next moment. Her right hand brought out an afterimage from her waist, and the scimitar in her hand turned into a silver sword in the air, and a spear was shot from the side.
The arrow split in half.
She looked at the grass in the distance and said: "Yilibu, Buxi, get down!"
The young man and the little girl immediately lay down on the grass. Wan Yanyan swung the scimitar in her hand twice casually, and she chopped off a few more arrows.
Behind her, several figures had already got on their horses and rode away in the direction where the arrows came from.
Not long after, a warrior rode on a horse and threw a tightly tied figure in front of Wan Yanyan.
He jumped off the horse, kicked the person on the ground several times, and said angrily: "Who sent you here!"
The man said "Ahhhhh" several times, and only then did they realize that his tongue had been cut out.
The warrior looked at Wan Yanyan and asked, "Great Khan, what should I do with him?"
Wan Yanyan glanced at the person on the ground, sighed softly, and said, "Send him to elder brother."
The little girl named Bu Xi got up from the ground, looked at Wan Yanyan with admiration, and said, "The Khan is so powerful, even more powerful than the most powerful warrior on the grassland!"
Speaking of warriors, Wan Yanyan couldn't help but think of a figure in her mind, and then some even more shameful scenes appeared.
She clenched the scimitar in her hand, gritted her teeth secretly, and whispered: "Next time I see you, I will beat your butt to pieces!"
Thinking of certain situations, the ferocious look on her face disappeared, but a few red clouds appeared on her face.
…
"Ah sneeze!"
Tangning was sitting on the carriage, sneezed, and rubbed her nose for no apparent reason. She felt her butt was itchy, so she secretly reached out and scratched it.
When he opened the carriage curtain, not far ahead, he could already see the towering city gate of the capital.
His expression was slightly startled. At this time, the gate of the capital city was filled with darkness, with a bright yellow light visible in the distance as far as the eye could see.
The distance was too far, so he couldn't see clearly what it was, but if he guessed correctly, it should be the canopy driven by Emperor Chen...
