In the main part of Wanyan tribe, ten miles to the east, there is a fertile pasture.
The pasture here is abundant, but no one grazes here because this is the cemetery of the Wanyan family.
Wanyanyan knelt on a piece of grass, with three tombstones standing in front of her.
In the mound behind the tombstone are Wanyan Khan, the eldest prince, and the third prince. In this confrontation of power, the third prince killed his father and brother and ascended to the position of khan. In the end, when the situation was over and there was no way to recover,
When he was young, he chose to commit suicide and ended it all.
The Sushen clan also practices burial in the ground. They were born in the grassland and their souls return to the grassland. They do not build tombs or erect tombstones and leave no traces after their death.
Wanyan Yan followed the custom of the Han people and erected monuments for the three of them. This was a kind of farewell, and it also represented that the Sushen clan had bid farewell to the past of robbery and killing, and had opened a new era.
They no longer regarded Chen Chu as a life and death enemy, and actively opened up, exporting excess cattle, sheep and other items to Chen Chu in exchange for tea, porcelain, grain and other scarce items.
When Wan Yanyan announced this decision, none of the tribal leaders present objected.
In the past few decades, the Sushen people have been caught between Chen Chu and Hei Man, and they have been fighting in all directions, but this is not what they want.
If you can herd horses and sheep in peace, who would be willing to pick up a machete and fight with others?
They have an inseparable attachment to their homeland for the grassland. No matter how good Chen Chu is, it is not their home. Their real enemy is the black barbarians who are eyeing the grassland deep in the grassland. Being on good terms with Chen will be of great benefit to them without any harm.
After Wanyan Yan became Khan, they had a new escape route.
On the grass, Wan Yanyan had been kneeling for an hour. Tang Ning stood behind her, facing a certain direction, looking far into the distance.
There is a vast sea of grass. Beyond that sea of grass is the boundary of Chen State.
After the third prince committed suicide, more than a dozen of his cronies also committed suicide and died as martyrs, and the rest of the tribe declared their allegiance to Wanyan Yan in the shortest possible time.
The Khan is dead, the eldest prince and the third prince are also dead. No one competes with her for the position of Khan. From today on, she is the only king on this grassland.
After Yan Yan took office and Chen Chu established diplomatic relations with the grassland, Tang Ning's mission for this trip had been successfully completed and it was time to go home.
Tang Ning should have been very happy, but when she saw Wan Yanyan's appearance, she couldn't be happy at all.
Although the trip to the grassland had a happy ending, the process was extremely cruel. Her son killed her father, and her brother killed her brother. No one of her relatives was left, and she was alone in the world. No one understood it better than Tangning.
.
After Wan Yanyan paid homage to the three of them, she fell ill with a fever after returning.
The imperial doctor said that she was suffering from excessive mood swings and excessive sadness, so he prescribed some soothing medicine and asked her to take a good rest.
While Wanyanyan was resting in bed, Tangning was packing her bags in the tent.
Before coming, he did not expect that the trip to the grassland would be like this, but no matter what, the result is always good. From now on, tens of millions of people in Chen State and the grassland will be free from war, at least until the end of the war.
When Yan Yan was in power, Chen Guo and the grassland were able to coexist peacefully and benefit from each other.
After packing his luggage, he walked outside the tent and saw Lao Zheng practicing his sword.
These days, Lao Zheng and Wan Yanyan's master are inseparable. Judging from the speed at which he changes his knife every day, it's hard to tell how many sparks they have created these days.
Xiao Jue was walking around on the grass, looking a little uneasy.
Unlike Tang Ning, he had some resistance to returning to the capital. He could hide for a while outside, but when he returned to the capital, he had to face the furious Lu Ding.
Tangning stepped forward and comforted: "Don't worry, it's just one leg. If you break it, there will be another one. When the time comes, I will ask the Ministry of Industry to make a good pair of crutches for you..."
"Stop talking sarcastically!" Xiao Jue glared at her and said, "When this happens to you, I'll see what you do!"
Tang Ning glanced at him, but Xiao Jue hadn't realized that there was a fundamental difference between him and him.
He and Lu Ya have not yet gotten married. This is a pregnancy out of wedlock. According to mainstream thinking, it is an immoral behavior.
Tang Ning is a family man. If Xiao Ru or Xiao Yi gets pregnant, it will be a great event. The father-in-law and mother-in-law will only be happy. They will not be like Lu Ding. After learning that Lu Ya is pregnant, they will most likely just want to interrupt Xiao Jue.
leg.
Tangning glanced at him and said, "We are different."
Xiao Jue said: "You and the little wild horse..."
Tang Ning said: "We are still pure."
…
In the evening, Aina came over and told him that the fourth princess had woken up.
Wanyanyan had a high fever for two days and was in a coma all day and night. Tangning came to her tent and saw her sitting on the bed with her eyes open. Her face had returned to a little rosy, and she was obviously getting better.
.
When Wan Yanyan saw him coming in, she looked at him and asked, "When are you leaving?"
Tang Ning said: "The matter here is over. I will leave tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Wan Yanyan got up from the bed, covered her mouth and coughed a few times, then asked, "Can't we stay a few more days?"
There is no difference between setting off tomorrow and setting off a few days later. We still have to face the moment of separation. What's more, Tang Ning has already returned home and doesn't want to delay for a moment.
He looked at the medicine she put aside, changed the subject, and said, "Drink the medicine while it's hot."
Wanyan Yan took the bowl, touched her lips, and immediately put it down and said: "It's hot..."
"It's not hot." This was a medicine to soothe the nerves. There was nothing wrong with it after tasting it. Tangning was surprised when she picked up the bowl and took a sip and found that the medicine was warm.
"Isn't it hot?" Wan Yanyan looked at him and said, "Try it again."
Tang Ning often eats hot pot and may be more resistant to hot pot than she is, but it's not so exaggerated. He took a few bites and didn't feel it was hot. He put the bowl down and said, "Let's wait a little longer."
After putting down the bowl, he suddenly felt a little sleepy, yawned, looked at Wan Yanyan, and said, "You can rest, I'll pay the bill..."
He stood up and suddenly felt the world spinning, his vision went dark, and he fell down on Wan Yanyan's bed.
Wan Yanyan got up from the bed, with a look of success on her face. She helped Tang Ning take off her shoes and coat, and moved Tang Ning, who had fallen asleep, onto the bed. Then she lay on her side next to him, supporting her head with one hand, dreaming.
looking at him...
…
Tangning slept very deeply, and when she woke up, she still had a slight headache.
He couldn't remember exactly how he fell asleep last night. He only remembered that he went to Wan Yanyan's tent to see her. She said the medicine was too hot, and then he helped her taste the medicine, and then...
After realizing what happened yesterday, Tangning suddenly woke up.
He opened his eyes suddenly and saw Wan Yanyan wearing only a bellyband, sitting on the bed, looking down at him, and said: "From now on, you are my man."
Tangning sat up from the bed and asked in shock, "What did you do to me?"
Wanyan Yan said: "We slept together last night."
Tangning asked, "What else?"
Wanyanyan asked doubtfully: "What else?"
Tang Ning checked her clothes and found that she only took off her outer clothes, shoes and socks, and her underwear was still on. She didn't feel any discomfort, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
She actually added something to the medicine. Thanks to her naivety, her knowledge in some aspects was still blank. Otherwise, Tang Ning's reputation would have been ruined during this trip.
He put on his clothes and Wan Yanyan sat on the bed. As if she thought of something, she suddenly asked: "I'm not going to have a baby, am I?"
Tangning glanced at her and said, "Yes."
"Ah?" Wan Yanyan was shocked: "But I'm not ready yet..."
After Tang Ning got dressed, Wan Yanyan crawled to the bed again, looked at him, and asked, "What do you want our child to be named?"
…
Outside the tent, Xiao Jue squatted on the grass, holding a branch, dipped it in salt and brushed his teeth.
He accidentally looked up and saw Tang Ning walking out of Wanyan Yan's tent, her expression startled, and the branch in her hand fell to the ground.
After a while, he picked up the branch and said fiercely: "Pure ass!"
