Tangning returned to her tent with pain all over her body and lay on the soft bed, not wanting to move.
When she was sparring with Tang Yaoyao before, Tang Ning was pinned down by her before she even used her full strength, so she wasn't very tired.
But Wan Yanyan is different. Now she and Tang Ning are really on par with each other.
When the two of them were fighting, one moment she had the upper hand, the next moment Tang Ning regained the disadvantage, the next moment she was on top, the next moment Tang Ning was on top. After all this tossing, Tang Ning was exhausted within a quarter of an hour.
Of course, Wan Yanyan was no better than him. Tang Ning walked back by herself after all, and she was carried back by Ayina.
Evenly matched fights were the most dangerous. Fortunately, she and Tang Ning didn't have a life-or-death feud. They fought for 300 rounds without using weapons, otherwise they would have to kill people.
Old Zheng walked in carrying a roasted leg of lamb. Tangning turned her head with difficulty, glanced at him, and said, "Isn't her talent average? Why has she improved so fast in the past two years?"
Lao Zheng glanced at him and said: "Talent is important, but with your hard work, you are far from reaching the point where you have to fight for talent. If she works harder than you, she will make faster progress than you. Isn't it strange?
of?"
Tang Ning thought about Zheng's chicken soup carefully and found that it actually made sense.
Unless you are like Xiaoxiao, when it comes to martial arts training, it is purely God's reward. Practicing casually can surpass the hard work of most people. In fact, the talent of more people is not much different, widening the gap between people.
Yes, it’s the level of effort.
Tang Ning has been running around here and there in the past two years and has limited time to practice. If Wan Yanyan practices diligently, it will not be difficult to catch up.
Xiao Jue, this bastard, didn't know what he said to Wan Yanyan, and he wanted to trick him before leaving. If she had to fight with him every day, Tang Ning's body might not be able to withstand it.
Lao Zheng took a bite of the mutton leg and said: "Besides her own hard work, there must be someone behind her to guide her. It's not surprising that she has made such rapid progress..."
No matter what expert guidance Wan Yanyan has behind her, or how fast her martial arts progresses, these are not important.
Tang Ning never forgot that he came to the grassland not to compete with Wan Yanyan, but to see Lanlan and to promote peace between Chen State and the grassland.
He got up from the bed and walked towards Wan Yanyan's tent.
In Wanyan Yan's tent.
Aina looked at her and said, "Didn't you say when you were a child that you wanted to marry the most powerful warrior on the grassland? Did you fall in love with that Han man?"
"I don't know either..." Wan Yanyan shook her head and said: "Aniang said that for us women, the most powerful warrior is not the one with the best riding skills or the best archery skills, but even if he is just
A scholar who cannot draw his bow can always protect us when danger comes. He is our most powerful warrior..."
Aina looked at her and said, "Will that Han man be your warrior?"
…
Tang Ning rested for a while and then went directly to Wan Yanyan's tent.
Aina glanced at him, stood up and left. Wanyanyan lay on the bed and said, "I won't fight today, but I will fight again tomorrow."
"I didn't come to fight with you." Tangning glanced at her and said, "I didn't come to the grassland to fight with you. I need you to tell me the current situation in the grassland..."
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression was startled.
Many materials are in short supply on the grasslands, and the silk, tea, porcelain, etc. that Chen Chu only has are rare. Since the friction between them and the Han people has intensified, even those adventurous businessmen are not willing to come here.
The coverings they spread were all made of sheepskin, and the workmanship was very rough. Silk satin quilts like this were considered a scarce commodity here.
Tang Ning thought that no matter how poor they were here, the princess would not be short of these things. Unexpectedly, her own bedding was made of rough sheepskin, while the one he used to cover her was made of fine silk and satin.
Thinking about it carefully, the faint scent of his quilt seemed a bit familiar.
Wanyan Yan fell in love with it after being forced to take a bath by him. She no longer had that peculiar smell on her body. Instead, she had a natural body fragrance, which was very unique.
Tangning glanced at her, turned around and walked outside the tent.
Wan Yanyan looked at him and asked, "Where are you going?"
Tang Ning said, "I'll give you back your quilt."
"No need." Wan Yanyan waved her hand and said, "You are used to sleeping in silk, and I am used to sleeping in sheepskin. There is no need to change."
Tangning stopped, looked at her, walked back, sat down by the bed, and said, "Then let's talk about the situation."
"The situation..." Wan Yanyan got up from the bed and said: "The situation is that on the grassland, the eldest brother and the third brother have the most tribes and the most power. No one will listen to me, and no one is willing to live in peace with Chen Guo.
Tell me, what should we do..."
The information about the grassland that Chen Guo investigated was naturally not as detailed as what he heard from Wan Yanyan.
The Sushen people have dozens of tribes, large and small. They originally operated independently and did not interfere with each other. Among them, tribes often attacked and annexed each other. Small tribes gathered into large tribes, and large tribes were divided into smaller tribes.
Tribes have been like this for tens or hundreds of years.
The Wanyan tribe was the first to unify all the Sushen tribes. Today, the Sushen tribe is all under the control of the Wanyan tribe. Except for more than ten major tribes including Jiagu Shuhu, they are still controlled by Wanyan Yan.
The father held it in his hands, and the remaining dozens of small and medium-sized tribes were controlled by the three princes. After the death of the second prince, all the tribes under him fell into Wanyan Yan's hands.
Of course, the three were originally evenly matched, but since Wanyan Yan rescued Xiao Jue and was punished by the Khan, she only has fourteen pieces in her hand, which is less than the third prince's eighteen pieces and even less than the eldest prince's twenty.
The second tribe naturally has the least say in the clan.
Tangning looked at her and said, "I have an idea."
Wanyanyan's eyes lit up and she asked, "What can I do?"
"You know, I know some poison techniques and Gu techniques..." Tangning looked at her and said, "You invite the eldest prince and the third prince here for a simple meal, and you just want to send a few tribes to them. I will be there in the meal."
Just poison them and kill them..."
Wan Yanyan pinched his thigh hard and said, "They are my brothers, how could I poison them to death?"
Tangning covered her thighs, glanced at her, and said, "Aina told me that they have been assassinating you in the past two years."
"They are them, and I am me." Wan Yanyan shook her head and said, "I won't do this, and they won't come over. You can't see them."
The assassination plan was rejected by Wan Yanyan before it even started and was declared a failure. Tangning shook her head and said, "If you don't poison, I'll poison you. Then I won't treat you to dinner. Just give it to the three princes and four tribes, and the four youngest ones."
That’s fine.”
Wanyanyan asked in surprise: "Why?"
"You have already given away the four eldest princes. If you don't give them away to the third prince, what will you make the third prince think?" Tang Ning looked at her and said, "There is an old saying among the Han people, don't worry about the scarcity but the inequality.
Brothers, you also need a bowl of water to be balanced, otherwise there will be conflicts, and the third prince must hate you very much now..."
Wanyan Yan said: "But I don't have a few tribes to begin with. If I send four more tribes, I will be even worse than them..."
"It doesn't matter, I'm still here." Tangning waved her hand and said, "You don't understand this kind of thing, just stand behind me and watch..."
When playing with tactics and strategies, many times, advance is to retreat, retreat is to advance, retreat is to advance, advance is to retreat, virtual reality is real, real reality is virtual and virtual... These things, with the mind of a little barbarian girl, are definitely
I can't think clearly.
Tang Ning was thinking about her next plan and was lost in thought. Naturally, she didn't notice that Wan Yanyan was sitting next to him, looking at him somewhat absentmindedly.
She looked at Tangning and murmured, "Are you standing behind you?"
