Tang Ning walked in the peach blossom forest, helping Zhong Yi and Su Ru pick fresh peach blossoms.
The women's martial arts competition ended two days ago, so he could take a good few days' rest.
Although some not-so-good episodes occurred, fortunately they were discovered in time and did not have much impact.
Through a sidebar of the Capital Daily, the common people knew that the candidate Yin Na had no chance of becoming the number one female scholar because she failed in a competition, so she simply gave up the martial arts examination and quietly left the capital in the early morning when no one was paying attention.
This incident caused a small discussion in the capital a few days ago, but at that time she had already been defeated by Xiao Xiao, lost the opportunity to compete for the top prize in martial arts, and faded out of the public eye, but it did not have much impact.
Except for a few people, no one knew that these days, she had been staying in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and was provided with good food and drink. Apart from having no personal freedom, she ate, slept, and had no worries.
It is about living a life that many people want to live.
Chen Guo is a huge country, so there is no need to mistreat prisoners. The higher her status, the more likely she will be of greater use in the future.
The champion in martial arts this time was Lu Ya, while Xiaoxiao abstained from the competition after defeating Ayina. After all, Tang Ning asked her to participate in the martial arts examination just for fun, and did not intend for her to truly become the champion in martial arts.
return.
As Minister of the Ministry of War and a prominent general, the Lu family was naturally proud of themselves and held a three-day banquet, eager to announce this matter to the capital.
Lu Ya got her wish, and in two or three months at most, she could go north to meet her lover.
The common people and officials all praised Chen Huang's act of allowing women to compete in martial arts. Only a few people knew that the source of all this was Lu Ya's desire to reunite with that guy who couldn't stand up.
Thinking of what Xiao Jue had done recently, it was actually difficult for Tang Ning to connect the ever-victorious general on the grassland with the young master Xiao he knew.
He could not imagine how he could lead his soldiers and horses to kill everyone on the grassland.
…
Prairie, somewhere pasture.
A young general wearing armor walked forward quickly, knelt on one knee, raised his hands and said: "General Xiao, there are a total of 136 people in this department, 16 horses, and 461 sheep. Everyone is equal."
I have been captured by the soldiers, please give me instructions..."
Xiao Jue waved his hand and said, "Take them all back."
He got on his horse neatly, with a smile on his face, and said: "Lu Ya and Tang should really be shown how majestic this general is now..."
The young general came over and said: "General, there is a report from the front. There is something unusual about Wanyan's command these days. Should we go back to Shengzhou first?"
Xiao Jue waved his hand and said: "What are you afraid of? We finally found these small tribes. Now we don't care about them. Do we wait until their reinforcements arrive?"
He looked forward and said: "This place is still far away from Wanyan's main headquarters. We can go further a hundred miles and go back in three days..."
…
Deeper in the grassland, there is a fertile pasture.
"Yilibu, that's not how the knife works. Look at Buxi..."
"That's right. You have to learn from Buxi to become the first warrior on the grassland."
"I don't want to learn from Bu Xi, I want to learn from Ayina. Ayina is the most distant warrior on the grassland..."
"Humph, I won't let you learn either!"
…
Wanyanyan looked at the boys and girls arguing on the grass, shook her head, turned around and walked into the tent.
She sat down and ate a bowl of cheese, but then she thought of the delicious tofu pudding. The Han people had all kinds of food, and she never got tired of it. He missed the days when he left the grassland, and naturally thought of someone.
"I don't know how Aina is doing, whether she has seen him..." Thinking of this, she shook her head violently and said, "Aina should not see him, there must be nothing good to do if she sees him..."
A woman carrying a bow walked in from outside and said: "Great Khan, the black barbarians have retreated..."
"So fast?" Wan Yanyan stood up and asked, "What happened?"
"Their king is dead." The woman with a bow on her back said, "The two princes have temporarily suspended their armies in order to discuss the throne."
Wan Yanyan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good if they retreat. If we don't fight anymore, there won't be so many casualties among the soldiers."
The woman with a bow on her back said: "When they settle down internally, the war will still start. There are black barbarians in front, and Chen and Chu allied forces behind. The eldest prince and the third prince only know how to fight for power. If this continues, the Wanyan tribe will be destroyed...
"
Wanyanyan sighed. The Wanyan tribe originated from the white mountains and black waters, and later migrated to the grassland. During this period, the Chu Kingdom rose, and they could never return to their ancestral homeland. Deep in the grassland, they called a black barbarian nation.
, they also had constant disputes with them. In order to survive, Su Shen's tribes chose weaker enemies, intending to annex Chen Chu and take control of the Central Plains and Northeast China. However, in recent years, they have seen Chen Chu becoming stronger and stronger, turning from defense to offense. Su Shen
The survival of various tribes is even more difficult.
She looked at the woman with a bow on her back and said: "The black barbarians withdraw their troops, and my father will definitely take advantage of this gap to deal with Chen Chu..."
The woman with a bow on her back gritted her teeth and said: "During this period, we were fighting with the black barbarians and had no time to deal with them. Chen Chu sent troops to wander outside and captured more than twenty small tribes. Only one of Chen's soldiers and horses captured
took thousands of people captive..."
"I heard about it too." Wan Yanyan looked at her and asked, "But that troop seems to be different from the others?"
The woman with a bowed back looked slightly calmer and said: "Those people just arrested them and did not massacre the people."
The grievances between Su Shen, Chen Chu, and Hei Man were all caused by human lives.
When they invade Chen Chu, they will massacre the poor people. When Chen Chu invades the grassland, they will also massacre. This has become a tacit understanding. After hearing this, Wan Yanyan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "In this way, fewer deaths will be achieved."
There are many civilians.”
"Who knows what they will do to the prisoners in the future?" said the woman with a bow on her back: "The black barbarians have retreated, and the Khan has sent people to capture Chen Chu and those who took advantage of the situation."
Wan Yanyan's expression changed, she looked at her, and said: "Ah Yue, you personally lead the troops to capture them. If father takes action, many people will die. If you get ahead of them and capture them alive, you can also use them to
In exchange for some prisoners..."
The arched woman looked at her and sighed: "The princess is so kind..."
Wanyanyan looked at her and said, "Be obedient and go quickly..."
Watching the woman with an arched back walk out, Wan Yanyan sat down again and leaned against a pillar behind her. Her pretty face showed a hint of tiredness, as well as a hint of youthfulness that was hard to see on weekdays.
Few people would notice that this female Khan with heavy fists is only eighteen years old this year.
She sighed leisurely, with a look of helplessness on her face. Even though she had worked very hard to help the Han people live in peace with them, it was really difficult to realize the dream in her heart...
…
These days, the situation in the grassland is constantly changing, and she realizes more and more clearly that if there is no one to help, she may not be able to do it alone...
…
"You are my future wife, your affairs are my affairs, can I not help you?" Tang Ning pinched Zhao Man's nose and said, "Don't worry, this matter is taken care of by me."
Emperor Chen's birthday is approaching. Although he does not hold a birthday banquet with great fanfare every year, the princes and princesses cannot be careless and must still fulfill their filial piety.
Zhao Man stood on tiptoes, kissed him gently on the lips, and said with a smile: "My husband is the best..."
[PS: The manuscript is already being saved, and ten updates should be released the day after tomorrow. Please ask for monthly tickets in advance...
