These days, due to the incident involving Liang Guoyu's party, the capital has become very tense. The moment Tangning and Xiaoxiao were looking at the stars in the courtyard, two groups of patrolling guards had already passed by outside.
Xiaoxiao looked up at the bright stars in the sky and asked: "Brother, mother said before that after people die, they will turn into stars in the sky and look at us in the sky, is that so?"
"Maybe..." Tangning couldn't bear to expose the girl's fantasy and told her that the stars in the sky are actually huge air masses, which rely on the outward radiation pressure generated by the internal nuclear fusion reaction to balance with the inward gravity to maintain stability.
Not to mention telling her that there is no Chang'e and osmanthus trees on the moon, it is just a big bumpy rock.
Tangning walked over, gently touched her head, and asked, "Are you homesick?"
Xiaoxiao shook his head and said, "This is my home."
Tang Ning was very satisfied with her answer. He also very much hoped that Xiao Xiao would regard this place as her home. Some cruel things had happened to her, and Tang Ning hoped that being here could help her slowly heal the trauma in her heart.
Tangning was about to speak when she suddenly noticed that a patch of night sky in the distance lit up without warning.
The little eyes looked in that direction and said in surprise: "There's a fire over there!"
"That's not a fire." Tangning shook her head and said, "That's someone shooting arrows."
Tang Ning has led troops before, and he knows what a salvo of rockets looks like. From the dark red, you can see countless tiny flames.
Tangning could guess at a glance that there were no less than 300 archers there.
In a team, the number of archers only accounts for a small part, so it can be seen that there are at least two thousand people there.
In the capital, the only one who can gather so many archers after dark is the Golden Feather Guard.
With so many Jin Yu guards dispatched, and combined with the movements in the capital in recent days, it is not difficult to guess that Liang Guoyu's party must have been discovered.
The fire lit up the sky, but that place was far away from here. Tangning watched it for a while, then prepared to go back to her room to sleep.
News will come out tomorrow about what happened there.
However, just as he was about to return to his room, a servant reported that Jin Yuwei knocked on the door outside.
When Tang Ning arrived at the door of the mansion, a Jin Yuwei general immediately bowed and said, "I have met Prime Minister Tang."
Tangning looked at him and asked, "What happened?"
The young general said: "We found traces of Liang Guo's remaining party, but during the encirclement and suppression, several of them escaped. Those people fled in this direction. Prime Minister Tang must be more careful tonight."
Tangning nodded and said, "Thanks for the reminder."
With Lao Zheng and Wan Yanyan's master here, if Liang Guo's remaining party really dares to come, they will just throw themselves into a trap, so there is no need to worry.
After the young general reminded Tang Ning, he cupped his hands and said, "Tang Xiang, be careful. The general will go search for them..."
After sending away the Golden Feather Guards, Tang Ning closed the door and returned to her courtyard.
boom!
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, there was a sudden muffled sound in front of him. Tangning looked over with alert eyes and saw two more figures in the courtyard.
Gongsun Ying was covered in blood and was carrying someone on his back. Bai Jin stood beside her, looking equally miserable. Even half of his sleeves were burned, giving off a pungent smell.
Almost at the same time as they jumped off the wall, the figures of Old Zheng and the middle-aged woman quickly appeared in the courtyard.
The next moment, Xiaoxiao was standing next to Tangning.
Tangning narrowed her eyes and said, "It is indeed you."
Bai Jin looked at Tang Ning and said anxiously: "We were discovered by the Chen Kingdom court. For Mei'er's sake, please save us..."
Before Tang Ning could speak, the middle-aged man carrying Gongsun Ying suddenly shouted loudly: "Elder Bai, Elder Gongsun, kill them, kill them quickly..."
"Shut up!" Bai Jin's expression changed drastically and he shouted sharply. He was about to say something to Tang Ning, but it was too late.
Tang Ning looked at the middle-aged man on Gongsun Ying's back and asked with a smile, "Who are you going to kill?"
Bai Jin hurriedly said: "This is a misunderstanding..."
Tang Ning said: "Old Zheng, tie them up and send them to Jin Yuwei."
Bai Jin and Gongsun Ying were about to make a move, but their bodies suddenly trembled, as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast, and they did not even dare to move.
Gongsun Ying felt greater pressure than before from Old Zheng. He raised his head and gritted his teeth and said: "Tang Ning, he is His Highness the King of Wu. He doesn't know your identity. If you let us go this time, we will definitely do it a hundred times in the future."
repay!"
"Let you go?" Tangning sneered and said, "Then let you go to Guizhou to cause trouble. What are you thinking? Since you have come to my door this time, I won't be polite..."
Bai Jin looked at him and said loudly: "Because I have saved and raised Mei'er, please let His Highness King Wu go free this time!"
Tangning had no expression on her face and said, "Old Zheng, I'm tied up."
Lao Zheng went to the woodshed to get the rope, and when he came to the three of them, he did not take action. Instead, he stood there and looked up ahead.
At the same time, the middle-aged woman also looked over and pulled out two scimitars from her waist, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Tangning looked along the line of sight of the two people and found a figure standing on the courtyard wall in front of her.
The figure was completely shrouded in black robes. Even though the Tang family's courtyard was lit with lights all around, the face under the black robes could not be seen clearly.
"Junior Sister Bai, Junior Sister Gongsun, after all these years, you haven't made any progress at all." The figure stood on the wall of the courtyard, and an old voice came from under the black robe.
The voice sounded like it was that of a woman, and she was quite young.
Unexpectedly, some of their accomplices had escaped. Tang Ning looked at Lao Zheng and was about to ask him to arrest that person together. However, Lao Zheng stared in that direction and said in a deep voice: "Master Tang, you
Take Xiaoxiao first to find Jin Yuwei..."
Tangning took a step towards her side and her face became solemn.
He had never seen Lao Zheng so serious before. He asked him and Xiaoxiao to go first, which showed that in his heart, even if he and Wan Yanyan's master joined forces, they would not be able to defeat this person.
Tang Ning held her little hand and was about to leave. The next moment, the hairs all over her body stood up involuntarily, because in the blink of an eye, the figure who was standing on the courtyard wall just now suddenly appeared in front of him.
Almost at the same moment, two sword lights lit up in the courtyard.
Tang Ning only saw swords and lights interlacing in the courtyard, but the figure seemed to be strolling in the courtyard, casually avoiding the joint efforts of Old Zheng and the middle-aged woman.
Bang! Bang!
After two muffled sounds, the figure took a step back. Old Zheng and the middle-aged woman took several steps back before they could stop themselves.
The figure that repelled the two men with a crushing force did not continue to attack. Instead, it stood on the spot, looked at Old Zheng, and praised: "We haven't seen each other for many years. General Zheng's sword skills have become more refined..."
