Tang Ning looked up at Chen Huang and couldn't believe that such shameless words came from his mouth.
What do you mean he is good at this? He is obviously a slanderer. Zhao Man is already full of resentment towards his position. If Wanyanyan jumps in line again, Zhao Man will hate him to death.
Tangning cupped her hands and said, "I, I am not good at this method..."
Emperor Chen waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be modest. You are handsome and knowledgeable. You can even win the most beautiful woman in the capital. How can a mere barbarian princess escape from you?"
Tangning said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, you don't know that those people on the grassland wear sheepskin and don't like to take a bath. I, I will not use my hands..."
Emperor Chen looked at him and said sincerely: "This is for the sake of the overall situation. I can only wrong you. Don't worry, if this matter can be done, it will save our Chen country from the biggest trouble of the grassland. I will reward you when you come back."
You are ten first-class beauties..."
Tang Ning hurriedly said: "I thank your Majesty for your kindness, but there are already enough wives in my family, and it is beyond my means. Please take your Majesty's orders back..."
There are already quite a few wives in the house, and with the addition of three maids who are still young, Tang Ning has to think about her body and kidneys. Although the little wild horse is good, he is not good at riding and can't control it...
Chen Huang shook his head and said: "Since you don't want to go, forget it. It happens that only Wang Xiang is left in Shangshu Province. You can stay and help him."
Tang Ning bowed and said, "I obey your order."
"Stay back." Emperor Chen waved his hand and seemed to be talking to himself: "The women from the Western Regions are beautiful. I don't know if there is a princess in Xiaowan. There is one in Chu State, but it's a pity that she was scattered by the Wanyan tribe on the grassland.
I have captured my troops, but I don’t know what’s going to happen now…”
After he finished speaking, he saw Tangning standing there and had not left yet, and asked in confusion, "Why don't you leave?"
Tang Ning raised her head and said, "I am concerned about the situation in the grassland. Your Majesty just said what happened to the grassland?"
Chen Huang thought for a while and asked, "Did I just say grassland?"
Tangning nodded and said, "Your Majesty said that the Princess of Chu was dispersed by the Wanyan tribe on the grassland..."
"You said this." Chen Huang said: "This is the intelligence from the spies ahead. The third prince of the grassland led 50,000 troops and dispersed the 10,000 troops led by Princess Changning of the Chu Kingdom. Princess Changning and her subordinates are now missing.
…”
He looked at Tang Ning and said, "Why do you care about Chu State's affairs? Go to Shangshu Province as soon as possible. Wang Xiang is old. You should help him share more of Shangshu Province's affairs."
Tangning stood there and said, "I thought about it just now and decided to go to the grassland."
Chen Huang looked at him and said in surprise: "Didn't you just say you didn't want to go?"
"I am ashamed..." Tang Ning lowered her head and said in shame, "I should not only think about my own selfish interests and ignore the overall situation. The north needs me, and I am duty-bound..."
Emperor Chen glanced at him in surprise and said, "It's best if you think this way, then the Fourth Princess of Wanyan Department..."
Tang Ning bowed and said, "I must try my best..."
Emperor Chen nodded with satisfaction and said: "I asked the Ministry of War to make preparations. You also go back to clean up. You will set off today..."
…
Since Chen Huang had already planned to cooperate with Wan Yanyan, the imperial edict to massacre the prisoners of war that was sent out two days ago would naturally have to be taken back eight hundred miles away.
Jun Wu's joke is relative. As long as he has enough chips, the emperor can take back what he says.
When Tang Ning returned home, Zhong Yi and Su Ru heard the news and were already waiting for him at home.
Zhong Yi walked over quickly and said, "Ms. sir, Yaoyao said that General Xiao is fine. Is this true?"
Tangning nodded and said, "It's true, he is still alive and well."
"That's great..." Su Ru said with a smile on her face, "This way Sister Lu doesn't have to be sad."
Tangning looked at them and said, "In a few days, I may go to the grassland."
"Why?" Zhong Yi's expression changed slightly and he asked: "General Xiao is fine, why does Mr. Xian go to the grassland? It's so dangerous and chaotic there..."
Of course, Tang Ning didn't just want to see the scenery of the desert on a whim. Xiao Jue was drinking and eating meat at Wan Yanyan's place, but Li Tianlan didn't know where she was. Although Tang Ning believed in her ability, how could he rest assured if she didn't go and see it in person.
After listening to his explanation, Zhong Yi glanced at him, nodded and said: "In that case, then go ahead, sir, and we will wait for you to come back..."
If you don't feel sorry for your wife, no one will. Tang Ning has a reason to go this time, and Zhong Yi and the others also express their understanding.
Of course, even if he has 10,000 cavalry and an army of 100,000, he still has to bring a few people with him.
Chen Zhou must be brought with him. Having him in Tangning will save him a lot of trouble. Old Zheng also has to be brought with him. Such a bodyguard cannot be found even with a lantern. As for the old beggar, because his martial arts is higher, he is still allowed to
After all, it was better to stay at home and take care of the house. Tang Ning had many enemies in the capital. After he left, what he was most worried about was his family.
He obtained some information on the grassland from the Ministry of War. Before he could read it, the butler of the Xiao Mansion came to the door and handed over an invitation, saying that it was Mr. Xiao who invited him.
There has been a false alarm in the Xiao Mansion these days. Mr. Xiao hosted a banquet in the manor. The attendees, except Lu Ding, the Minister of War, were all old members of the Xiao family.
Over the years, the subordinates who have left Mr. Xiao have spread all over the Sixteenth Guards. This is one of the reasons why no one dares to make trouble in the Xiao Mansion even if the Xiao Mansion declines.
As for why Lu Ding could come, it was naturally because the Xiao and Lu families were already married and could be considered a family.
During the dinner, Mr. Xiao stood up, raised his glass to Tang Ning and said, "I would like to toast General Tang Ning with this glass."
Tangning stood up quickly and said, "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it."
Mr. Xiao solemnly said: "If it weren't for General Tang, my Xiao family would be the last to be the last. General Tang can afford this cup."
Mr. Xiao insisted, so Tang Ning had no choice but to offer a toast in return. When he put the cup down, Lu Ding also stood up and raised his cup: "I would also like to toast Master Tang with this cup."
Lu Ding had the same reason as Mr. Xiao, so Tang Ning was too lazy to refuse. She raised her glass, drank the wine in one gulp, and said, "Xiao Jue and I are friends. This is what we should do. Mr. Xiao and Mr.
You're welcome, Mr. Lu."
Mr. Xiao shook his head and said: "Friends are friends, kindness is kindness. I will keep your kindness to the Xiao family in my heart. I must repay this kindness. In the future, whenever General Tang has orders, the Xiao family will not refuse..."
Lu Ding glanced at him and said, "My Lu family also shares this sentiment."
Tang Ning smiled and said, "In that case, you're welcome, junior. Actually, I just have something to ask you for help with."
Mr. Xiao said, "General Tang, it doesn't matter if you say so."
Tang Ning said: "Tang has many enemies in Beijing. This time I was ordered to leave Beijing because I have important things to do. After I leave, I am worried that they will take action against my family. I hope that Mr. Xiao and General Lu can help take care of me."
Zhaofu..."
Mr. Xiao looked serious and said: "General Tang, don't worry about this matter. If your family loses a hair during your absence, I will come to see you!"
Tang Ning quickly said: "Old Xiao, what you said is too serious, what you said is too serious..."
Mr. Xiao was a military commander. What he said was the same as a military order, and it was a bit unrealistic. However, Tangning had already felt his determination, and she was finally able to leave with peace of mind.
There were many other families that he wanted to say hello to before leaving. Wu had the Xiao family, the Ling family, the Lu family, Wen had the Fang family, the Song family, and his father-in-law who was Jing Zhaoyin. There was really nothing to worry about.
.
Mr. Xiao looked at Tang Ning and suddenly said, "General Tang will meet that unfilial son this time when he goes to the north, right?"
Tangning nodded and said, "I should see you."
Mr. Xiao looked at it with a stern look on his face and said: "I hope General Tang will give him a good beating when he sees him. As long as you don't beat him to death or maim him, you can beat that unfilial son for you...
…”
Tang Ning smiled and said, "If Mr. Xiao had not said that, I would have done the same..."
