Wanyanyan covered her arms and hid under the quilt. Tangning glanced at her and said, "Get up, there are still many things waiting for us to do."
Wan Yanyan hid under the quilt with only her head exposed and said, "Then when will you marry me?"
"Wait another three years." Tangning looked at her and said, "In three years, I should have dealt with everything. If you haven't changed your mind, come find me."
Wan Yanyan had just climbed out of the abyss of despair, and Tang Ning could no longer reach out to push her in.
The three-year agreement is a temporary solution. After three years, her temperament may have matured and she may change her mind.
If she hadn't changed her mind - a girl would be willing to wait for him for so long, even a stone would be moved.
Wan Yanyan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, three years, three years!"
…
Three years is neither a short time nor a long time.
The three-year contract between Tang Ning and Li Tianlan seemed like just yesterday. When she was sitting across from Tang Ning and bandaging his arm, the three-year contract ended in less than a year.
Li Tianlan bandaged his arm seriously and asked without raising his head: "Have you comforted her?"
Tangning nodded and said, "That's good."
"How to comfort me?"
It was stupid to lie in front of Li Tianlan and Su Mei. One of them was extremely smart and the other understood people's hearts, so Tangning had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Three-year agreement..." Li Tianlan looked up at him and said, "You seem to like the three-year agreement very much, how about we make one too?"
Tangning was stunned and said, "We have already made a decision, and the deadline is only one year away..."
"Can you handle everything in one year?" Li Tianlan lowered his eyelids slightly and said, "Besides, the Tang family even has a fourth wife. Is there any difference between one and three years?"
Tang Ning finally understood that the root of the problem was not in one year or three years, but in the fact that her third wife became the fifth wife in two years.
He swallowed his saliva and said, "I will try my best to handle everything within one year."
Li Tianlan helped him bandage the wound and said, "Then come to Chu to see me after you have finished handling all the matters."
Li Tianlan walked out of the tent, and Tang Ning sat on the bed alone, thinking that she was really angry.
A year later, when she came to him, the result was different from when Tangning came to find her.
If Tang Ning goes to the Chu Kingdom, the first person she will have to face is not her, but Emperor Chu. That old fox is not that easy to deal with. Tang Ning feels a headache just thinking about it.
When he had a headache, Lao Zheng walked out, glanced at him, and said, "I'm back..."
Tang Ning didn't see Lao Zheng for two days after she came back. Chen Zhou said that he had gone out to look for him. Tang Ning was a little touched. When she was in danger, she took a huge risk to stay alone to break up the family. After they disappeared, she went out to look for him alone.
, as a bodyguard, Lao Zheng is undoubtedly very qualified.
Lao Zheng stopped dozens of people that day. Tangning looked at him and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Old Zheng shook his head and said, "It's just that the knife is blunt."
Tangning asked: "Where are those people who were ambush? Have they been caught?"
Lao Zheng glanced at him and said, "They are all dead."
"All, all dead..." Tangning looked at him in shock. There were fifty of them, and they were all carefully selected warriors from the Pucha tribe. Could it be that they were all hacked to death by him?
He was stunned for a long time and thought of something. He looked at Lao Zheng and murmured: "You let us go first, aren't you... worried about killing us all?"
Old Zheng looked at him calmly and did not answer. Tang Ning read the answer from his eyes.
Those were fifty people, not fifty pigs. Although there was no need to be merciful to the enemy who wanted his life, Tang Ning couldn't accept it in his heart if he had to kill fifty people like melons and vegetables.
Although Lao Zheng always seemed to be smiling, Tang Ning never thought that he was a kind person. The old beggar once said that the number of souls who died under his hands were hundreds if not thousands. If they had not been soaked in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, it would be impossible to accumulate them.
Such a strong evil spirit.
In Lao Zheng's eyes, those fifty people were no different from pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
Tang Ning glanced at Lao Zheng and couldn't help feeling a little cold. She walked outside the tent and basked in the sun before she felt better.
Aina walked over from the side and looked at him with a lighter expression than the previous two days. She walked up to him and said: "The Khan ordered the princess and the consort to go to the main department to discuss matters. The princess asked me to ask the consort for his opinion."
Tangning waved her hand and said, "I'm not going."
Wanyan Khan didn't even care about Wanyan Yan's life and death, so how could he convene them for a meeting? This was obviously a Hongmen banquet ordering them to hand over power. Unless they really planned to listen to him, or simply flipped the table and rebelled, who would be there?
Going to the main department at this time?
Aina thought for a while and said: "The third prince has gone, so we don't go. Isn't it a bit bad?"
Tangning looked at her and asked in surprise, "The third prince is gone?"
Based on Tang Ning's understanding of the third prince, he was more scheming than the eldest prince, and he was not someone who gave up so easily. The fact that he chose to obey so quickly this time was somewhat beyond Tang Ning's expectations.
He looked at Aina and asked, "Is the news true?"
"It's true." Aina nodded and said, "The third prince has gone to the main department with his command talisman, and he is waiting for the fourth princess."
Tangning was surprised: "He just gave up like that?"
Aina shook her head and said: "What can you do if you don't give up? The tribe in the hands of the eldest prince, plus the tribe in the hands of the Khan, the third prince and the fourth princess combined are far inferior. The third prince can't come even if he wants to."
You know this."
"Then leave him alone." Tangning waved her hand and said, "Just say that the fourth princess is not feeling well, and we will go there next time..."
Aina nodded, knowing that this was a delaying tactic.
When Chen's army is gathered together, plus the tribes in the hands of the four princesses, even if the Khan integrates the other tribes, he will not be their opponent.
The main headquarters of Wanyan Department and the central tent.
The third prince was summoned by the Khan and led the leaders of his tribes to hand over the command talisman.
The command talisman is the certificate that drives each tribe. Each tribe has a command talisman. See the talisman but not the person. This is the rule set by the Khan. If the third prince has the command talisman of all the tribes, then he will be the new member of Sushen.
of Khan.
Of course, today he came here to hand over the command talisman. After handing over the command talisman, he will never have the chance to become a khan again in this life...
In the big tent, Wanyan Khan looked at the third prince and said calmly: "Do you know how you are inferior to your elder brother?"
The third prince lowered his head and said, "I don't know, kid."
Wanyan Khan glanced at him and said, "You are not as ruthless as him."
"Since ancient times, whoever has achieved great things is not a ruthless person?" He looked at the third prince and said: "If I hadn't been ruthless like your uncle back then, I wouldn't have the Wanyan Department today..."
The third prince buried his head deeper and said, "I understand, kid."
Wanyan Khan looked at him and said: "Hand over the command talisman. From now on, you will stay in the ministry and stop meddling in clan affairs."
The third prince took out a box from his arms, stepped forward, and handed it over respectfully.
Wanyan Khan reached out to take it, but at the next moment, his body trembled suddenly and he looked at him in disbelief.
The third prince finally raised his head, pulled out the dagger stuck in his chest, and said seriously: "There is one thing that my father made a mistake about. If I want to be ruthless, my eldest brother is not ruthless enough..."
He took the box over again, looked at Wanyan Khan, grinned, and said: "Those who achieve great things must be ruthless. This is what my father Khan taught me..."
