Chapter 253: The embarrassed King Sheng
Yan Wushuang hurriedly turned his head, his face was a little embarrassed, and he turned around and walked a few steps in the direction of Zhan Ge, trying to cover up what was behind.
"It's nothing, it's just nothing, just write casually, why did you come back so soon, I thought you would come back later."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Zhan Ge ignored Yan Wushuang's abnormality, followed the direction that Yan Wushuang pushed him and walked to the table and sat down.
"After the matter is discussed, we will naturally come back, we will set off from here to the barbarians in two days, if it is fast, it will only be two hours, and when the matter is discussed, we will be able to rush back in the evening."
"What if you can't decide? The leader of the barbarians would definitely not be so willing to admit this matter, and if he really did admit it, I am afraid that the barbarians would not be able to recover their previous strength for many years. ”
Yan Wushuang sat next to Zhan Ge, and was a little puzzled when he heard Zhan Ge's words, if he thought like this, he would be too optimistic, if this matter is really so easy to solve, why did it drag on for so many years?
Moreover, when Dayi was strong, the barbarians dared to do this, and now that Lin'er has not yet grown up, the barbarians are afraid that they will really repay their debts.
"Since we have decided to do so, we naturally have a way to deal with it, and the Praetorian Guards are all dispatched this time, so that even if the barbarians have a disobedient heart, they will succumb to these pressures."
"Moreover, the most important point is that Mandu Latu, as the most valued son of the barbarian leader, is still staying in the capital, if he really wants to give up this son, then he can do anything wrong, of course, in the end, he will still be crushed by Dayi's strength."
Listening to the joy, Yan Wushuang directly pulled over a small plate of melon seeds and slowly knocked it, she usually likes to eat these things when she is bored, and Shuangshuang has been preparing it.
"I remember that although Mandu Latu was the third son of the Manchu chieftain, he was a serious man."
"Exactly, Mandu Latu's grandfather was an extremely important general of the barbarians, with military power in hand and strong force, so the barbarian leader will certainly not ignore his opinion and completely abandon Mandu Latu."
Zhan Ge nodded, leisurely peeled the melon seeds for Yan Wushuang, put the melon seeds on a small plate on the side, and confessed that Wushuang ate them directly.
"These things, you don't have to worry about it, I'll take you to play tomorrow, on the mountain on the right side of the border city, there is a lake, called Tianshan Cloud Lake, clear all year round, and never frozen, there is a kind of whitebait in the lake, extremely delicious, tomorrow we will eat grilled fish."
"Grilled fish?" I haven't eaten for a long time, and when the interest arrives, Yan Wushuang nodded decisively, with a little excitement on his face: "Of course you can, I haven't eaten for a long time, but when we go there, we won't meet the barbarian people, right?"
"Naturally not, if Tianshan Yunhu is counted, it is actually in a position where it can't be managed, so it can be regarded as a joint ownership of barbarians and Dayi."
Judging from the map, the boundary between Dayi and the barbarians is very clear, but in fact, it is not, some places are not clear at all, so these places can go to both, although there is no clear regulation, but after a long time, this has become an unwritten rule.
Zhan Ge was happy to hear Yan Wushuang, and told her a lot of interesting things that happened in the frontier, the night gradually deepened, Yan Wushuang finally couldn't hold it anymore, and got up to wash.
After she went to the bathroom, Zhan Ge got up and walked to the desk, and of course saw the painting.
The grassland connecting the heavens and the earth, as if the heavens and the earth had become one color, but below were two people standing, both dressed in moon-white clothes, swaying by the wind, but at a glance it could be seen that this was a woman and a man.
Suddenly, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Zhan Ge's mouth, like the warmest spring breeze blowing away the delicate face of a hundred flowers, estimating that the time was almost up, Zhan Ge returned to the position he had done before, and continued to peel the melon seeds.
When Yan Wushuang came out, he first looked up at the words on the desk, and after making sure that he had not been moved, he looked at Zhan Ge with a somewhat flattering expression.
"Ago, I'm washed, why don't you go wash up too, let's rest early, and we can go out to play when we get up tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go." Zhan Ge naturally got up and went out, Yan Wushuang looked at his back and let out a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he didn't find out, otherwise he would have been embarrassed.
Thinking about quickly putting the painting away, in fact, she doesn't have many shots for painting, but she just paints a picture when she has nothing to do, and she just knows this little interest, so she can't be ashamed.
On the third day, the ink merchant brought people back from the barbarians, and returned in the morning and evening, Yan Wushuang and Zhan Ge had just finished dinner and were wandering around to eat.
"General, the barbarian leader promised to negotiate peace tomorrow, but when he talked about it today, he resolutely refused to admit what he had done before, and strongly demanded that Mandu Ratu be put back."
"I see, you've worked hard. Let's go and rest first, tomorrow we will set off the barbarians, and then he will recognize it or not. ”
Zhan Ge was expected by this answer, thinking about it, he had dealt with the barbarian leader a lot before, and this person was indeed very cunning, but this time and that time.
If it was when he was in the prime of his integrity, Zhan Ge would have to be extremely jealous, but now that he is dying, this matter is not so easy to say.
"Yes, General."
When the ink merchant retreated and there was no one around, Yan Wushuang asked curiously: "In this way, you already knew that the barbarian leader would not admit this matter, but why did you make a special trip to let people tell you?"
"It was our politeness to inform, and it was his attitude not to admit it. As long as we do our best, he will naturally admit it. ”
It's really not good, it's just to be crushed by force, just at Xu Rong's age, Zhan Ge also wants to give him experience.
Yan Wushuang was speechless, and he could only nod in admiration for a moment, this explanation is really a perfect score.
The capital, the dungeon of the Imperial Palace.
The door of the cell that closed King Tang suddenly made a sound, King Tang looked up, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the woman wearing a cloak and a hood was his daughter, Lord Chengping.
The maid behind her quietly stuffed a bag of silver into the guard's hand, and the guard weighed it slightly, and then willingly opened the prison door.
"It can only be half a quarter of an hour, otherwise I can't bear it if someone finds out."
"It must be, but just say two words, soon, soon." The maid sent the guards away, took off the chains of the cell door, and saluted the Tang King inside: "I have seen the prince."
"Yunxiu, you go to the side and guard, I will say a few words to my father, if someone comes, you can remind me." When the lord of Chengping saw that the room was opened, he didn't go in immediately, but he just instructed it first, and only after the maid retreated, did he walk in.
walked all the way to King Tang, looking at King Tang, who had aged a lot in a short period of time, the tears in his eyes fell directly.
"Father, you have suffered, please forgive my daughter for having no way to rescue you, I took a long time to come and see you."
King Tang's eyes were a little relieved, but his expression was unexpectedly calm: "It's okay, as long as you can come over, my father will be very happy."
"Does your mother know?" After a pause, Tang Wang still asked the question.
Lord Chengping shook his head with a hesitant face: "Mother didn't know that I came here, although my brother ...... Mu Qi went to the barbarians, but his mother was full of him, and the whole house seemed to be waiting for him to come back. ”
For this point, the county lord of Chengping doesn't know how long he has been resentful in his heart, obviously he is the county lord who has lived in the palace for many years, but why is he the most precious person in the entire mansion as soon as he comes back?
It's just that on weekdays, the county lord of Chengping also respects Mu Qi very much, and even Princess Tang didn't notice anything wrong with her, so that the county lord of Chengping could come here.
"Your mother's business, I can't live with her, it's just that the things back then were too complicated, if you didn't give up that child, your mother and I would have to die, but I just gave up the small for the big."
As he spoke, King Tang stretched out his hand to beckon the county lord of Chengping to come over, and quietly pushed a green jade pendant over, and waited until the county lord of Chengping pretended not to exist and put it away, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"There are many people in the rivers and lakes that my father knows, if you need help in the future, go to them."
"Yes, father, it's just that I can't save you, and I ask you to forgive your daughter's unfilial piety." As he spoke, the county lord of Chengping was already kneeling on the ground, on the delicate face of a flower, and the tears fell one after another, which was particularly distressing.
King Tang hurriedly helped her up, with relief on his face: "This kind of thing is not unfilial, this is the cause caused by my father, so I should naturally bear this effect."
"But, after all, you are a father......" Although Lord Chengping knew about the matter between his father and mother, she felt that since it had passed and her brother had been recovered, why not be more generous, and the family would be together and reunited.
It's just that she didn't dare to tell her mother, she only dared to say it to her father.
King Tang was extremely kind on his face, but in the depths of his eyes, there was something about to move: "Don't tell your mother about this matter......
Seeing that there was no one else outside, he lowered his voice and admonished: "This is the remnants of my father's power now, just stay by your side to protect you, you just need to promise your father and live well."
"Father, tell me if there is any way I can avenge you, or that I can avenge you." Lord Chengping looked up at his father, in a short period of time, she had aged so much, how could she bear it?
"Mo'er, you're still too young, don't meddle in this matter, just let people make trouble for Zhan Ge and King Sheng, the two of them can't be defeated, even if they are not happy."
Although things have developed to this point, in fact, strictly speaking, it is not the fault of Zhan Ge and King Sheng, but it is these two people who have contributed to the troubles that have caused so much trouble, and King Tang must not be able to bear it.
