The pursuers had arrived, and Tang Ning was already prepared to fight to the death, but she didn't expect that at the critical moment, countless hidden arrows were fired from the dense forest in front, turning everyone in the Pucha tribe into hedgehogs.
Judging from the number of arrows, there were at least a hundred people in the dense forest. It seemed that reinforcements had arrived.
Tang Ning was thinking about this when suddenly someone in the forest ahead said loudly: "Are we compatriots Chen and Chu by the river?"
The people in the forest spoke Chinese. Although the accent was not like Chen Guo's Mandarin, Tang Ning was familiar with it.
Chen Chu's Mandarin is not much different, and Tang Ning is very familiar with the Chu accent.
He seemed to have thought of something, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he asked loudly: "Is this Princess Changning of Chu State in Lin Zhong?"
Several figures walked out of the forest. When a young general led him saw him, he was surprised and said: "Master Tang, why are you here?"
When Tang Ning saw the young general she had met in Chu State, she understood why there had been no news about Li Tianlan these days.
The woods here are deep and dense, and hiding three to five hundred people is not a problem at all.
They were hiding in such a hidden place in the vast grassland. It would not be easy for the third prince and the eldest prince's people to find them.
Tangning walked forward, looked at the young general, and asked, "Is your princess inside?"
"Here." The young general nodded and said, "I will take Mr. Tang over right now."
Tang Ning had never thought that Li Tianlan's men were hiding here. The reason why they came to help just now was probably because he was wearing Han clothes, and this was their hiding place. Everyone in the Pucha tribe was so close.
In order to prevent the information from leaking, it is the safest way to eliminate them as soon as possible.
Deep in the jungle.
Several simple tents were set up in the forest, and groups of soldiers were patrolling the forest. The young general led Tang Ning to the middle tent and said, "Master Tang, I will take you in."
Tangning waved her hand and said, "No, I'll go in by myself."
Tangning walked outside the tent, paused for a moment, then opened the curtain again and strode in.
A figure stood in the tent, chatting quietly with someone. He looked back and his body trembled slightly.
"Who are you?" A female official looked puzzled when she saw a stranger walking into the tent. Before she had time to ask, she saw him striding forward and actually hugging the princess into his arms. Her expression suddenly changed.
, said angrily: "Presumptuous!"
"It's okay." Li Tianlan looked at her and said, "You go down first."
"Ah?" The female officer was stunned for a moment, but she was also a thoughtful person after all. She looked at Li Tianlan, then at Tang Ning, and immediately nodded and said, "Oh, I'm resigning."
Tang Ning hugged her tightly, and the most intuitive feeling was the familiar refreshing fragrance in her nose and the faint pressure coming from her chest.
Then I heard her happy but suspicious words.
"Why are you here?"
"Coming to find you." Tangning let her go and asked, "If I don't come here, how long do you plan to wait here?"
Although the mission given to him by Emperor Chen was to promote peace between the Chen Kingdom and the grasslands, Tang Ning was still more concerned about his wife.
It wasn't until I saw her today that I felt relieved.
"I don't plan to stay long. I've already asked people to find the way and I'm going to leave in the next two days." Li Tianlan looked at him and asked, "How did you find this place?"
Of course, Tangning couldn't say that she was being chased by accident. She coughed lightly and said, "Intuition."
Li Tianlan looked at his messy clothes and embarrassed appearance and asked, "What's going on?"
"Well..., it's a long story." Tangning smiled awkwardly and said, "I'll explain it to you later."
After he said this, there was a strange sound suddenly coming from his stomach.
Li Tianlan looked at him and said, "I'll have someone get you some food."
Tangning looked at her and asked, "Do you have food?"
"Yes." Li Tianlan nodded and said, "They caught a lot of fish in the river, do you want to eat it?"
Tangning rubbed her belly and said, "No, I'm on a diet recently."
After this time, he probably won't touch fish for a long time.
Being chased is naturally not a good thing, but when she met the person she longed for during the chase, Tang Ning's depression quickly disappeared.
Before he could talk about the pain of lovesickness with the fifth lady, noisy sounds came from outside the door.
"What is he doing in there?"
"Why don't you let me in?"
"Get out of the way, I want to go in!"
…
Tangning and Li Tianlan walked out of the camp and saw Wan Yanyan arguing with the guard outside the door.
Li Tianlan looked at her and asked, "Who is this?"
Wanyanyan raised her head and said, "I am..."
"A friend." Tangning explained, "She is the fourth princess of the Wanyan tribe, whom you have met before."
After three days on the run, Wanyanyan was now disheveled, with black streaks and white streaks on her face. Tangning was so familiar with her that she barely recognized her. It made sense that Li Tianlan couldn't recognize her for a while.
Wanyanyan looked at him and then at Li Tianlan. The words she was about to say were stuck in her throat, and a hint of surprise gradually appeared on her face.
Li Tianlan smiled and said, "Since we are friends, let's come in."
The three of them walked into the tent. Li Tianlan looked at him and said, "Why are you here?"
She saw the two of them in such a mess. She was so smart. If she didn't tell the truth, she might not be able to pass this level.
Tangning looked at her and said, "Actually, we were chased here..."
He still chose to explain honestly, including why he came to the grassland, what he did during this period, and the recent changes in the situation in the grassland.
After listening to what he said, Li Tianlan looked at Yan Yan and asked Tang Ning, "Do you want Miss Wanyan to become a Khan?"
Tang Ning nodded and said, "The people suffer from the war. If Chen Chu could live in peace with the grassland, there would never be so many wars again."
Wan Yanyan becoming Khan not only benefits Chen State, but also has strategic significance for Chu State. Li Tianlan naturally understood this matter, looked at Tang Ning, and asked, "What are you going to do next?"
"Go back first," Tangning thought for a while and said, "If Wanyan Khan favors the eldest prince, he will send troops to the grassland and attack Huanglong... By the way, this place is closer to the Chen Kingdom. Why don't you return to Fengcheng first tomorrow?
State, and then wait for my news..."
Wan Yanyan, who had always liked to chirp, became unusually silent today, lowering her head and saying nothing.
After not seeing each other for two years, Tang Ning still had a lot to say to Li Tianlan. After looking at Yan Yan, she said, "You go and have a rest first. We will set off again tomorrow morning..."
Wanyan Yan was led into another simple tent by a female officer. After the female officer left, she gritted her teeth and said aggrievedly: "What friend, you are my consort..."
