Tang Ning pulled Zhao Man to trot all the way, ran to a certain street corner, looked back, and found that there was no official messenger to catch up.

The fishing rod was lost, and the fish caught was still there, Tang Ning sighed and said, "Today's fishing is in the soup again." ”

He thought about it carefully, and found that something seemed to be wrong with what happened just now, no one in Chu knew him, let alone Zhao Man, and no one knew that he would take the princess out secretly, and there was no reason for an assassin to come up.

However, no matter who those assassins were targeting, they were all beaten, and it was useless to think about it, and the fishing was disturbed, so they had to go home.

Zhao Man was led by him, his hands and ten fingers were clasped tightly, and he said with a red face: "It's okay, it's okay another day." ”

Don't go out fishing another day, the security in Kyoto of this Chu country is extremely poor, and there will be assassinations on the street, so it is better to buy some fish and put them in the lake of the Splendid Palace.

After fishing in the soup, he and Zhao Man walked on the street, ready to go back after a stroll.

When passing by a bookstore, Tang Ning saw a sign erected at the door of the bookstore, with a list of recent new books, Tang Ning just glanced at it casually, and found a few familiar words such as "Tianxian Pei" and "The Legend of the White Snake".

Zhao Man was surprised: "How can it be sold here?" ”

Tang Ning stood at the door and looked at it, and said, "Go in and have a look." ”

At a certain moment, he was still wondering if he was not the only one who came out of that door, and there were people from the same place as him, but after walking to the bookstore, he found that the author of these two books was also Tang Ningning.

In addition to "The Legend of the White Snake" and "Tianxian Pei", books such as "The Peony Pavilion" and "The Legend of the West Chamber" are also placed in a very conspicuous position.

He picked up a book and looked at it, the content of the book was exactly the same as in Tang Ren Zhai, and even the layout and cover were copied exactly as they were.

It's a pity that this is not in Chen Guo, and there is no copyright law, otherwise these books alone would have bankrupted these unscrupulous pirated booksellers.

"What books does the guest officer want to buy?" A bookstore guy came over and said: "The guest officer is really a good eye, these books in your hand are the hottest in our store in recent days, it is said that it was made by a three-yuan champion of Chen Guo, even His Royal Highness the county lord likes it very much, if you come half a day late, they will all be sold out......"

Tang Ning raised his eyebrows: "County Lord? ”

The guy said: "The guest officer doesn't know that every time a batch of his new books is sold in the store, the county lord will come to buy it in person, and in addition to the county lord, the ladies of the princes and nobles in the city also like these." ”

Tang Ning was not interested in those princely ladies, and asked, "Which county lord?" ”

The guy looked at him, scratched his head and said, "Guest officer, in this Kyoto, which other county lord, the villain is naturally the county lord of Changning, and yesterday His Royal Highness the county lord came here to ask if there is a new volume......"

Tang Ning frowned and asked, "Didn't the county lord of Changning go far away?" ”

The guest officer laughed. The guy smiled and said, "The villain just saw the county lord passing over from here, and I don't know where the guest officer heard the rumor. ”

It seems that someone in the Xinwang Mansion really didn't want him to see Li Tianlan, so he casually made up a reason to fool him.

This thing is a little difficult to do, if the person behind the scenes is King Xin, in this Chu country, there is nothing that the other party can't do, and he can't even enter the palace of King Xin.

Unless he was guarding at the gate of King Xin's mansion, but he was not so idle, fortunately, he already knew that she was in Kyoto, so he didn't have a chance to see her.

He put down a few books in his hand, looked at Zhao Man, and said, "Go back." ”

This matter is not urgent, they still have to stay in Chu for a long time, and the coming days will be long.

When he returned to the Splendid Palace, before he reached the door of Zhao Man's dormitory, he saw several envoys wandering in front of his room, with anxious faces.

Seeing him come back, He Rui immediately walked over and said, "Lord Tang, you're back, something has happened!" ”

"You go back first." Tang Ning said a word to Zhao Man, and then looked at He Rui and asked, "Lord He, what's wrong?" ”

He Rui said: "The Wanyan Ministry has sent envoys to Beijing, and they just arrived an hour ago, and the Chu State has already sent people to receive them. ”

"Wanyan?" Tang Ning was stunned when he heard this, the two countries of the grassland and Chen Chu have always been incompatible and have never established diplomatic relations, what did they send envoys for?

He looked at He Rui and asked, "Do you know their purpose?" ”

"I don't know yet." He Rui shook his head and said, "But we just arrived yesterday, and they entered the city today, so they must not be good......

Chen Chu's alliance between the two countries directly curbed the expansion of the Wanyan Ministry, and now they want to marry each other, the purpose is self-evident, it seems that even if they are as strong as the Wanyan Ministry, in this case, they are a little unable to sit still.

For the time being, I didn't know their purpose, and naturally I couldn't talk about countermeasures, Tang Ning thought about it and said, "Let's wait and see what happens." ”

Xinwangfu.

In the study, a person looked at King Xin and said, "Lord Wang, you must put your own safety first, don't mess around anymore, you are almost ...... today."

King Shin waved his hand and said, "Okay, this king will inform you next time he wants to go out." ”

He walked to the desk, sat down, opened a fold, suddenly looked at another place in the room, and asked, "The night after tomorrow, the imperial court will hold a wedding banquet for Princess Chen and the envoys, do you want to go together?" ”

Li Tianlan shook his head and said, "No, I'm not going." ”

King Xin shook his head and said, "It's strange, don't you pay the most attention to Chen Guo's news on weekdays?" ”

Without waiting for Li Tianlan to answer, he waved his hand and said, "If you don't go, don't go, it's not interesting anyway, if it weren't for the lack of the royal family in Beijing, I wouldn't be too lazy to ......"

Li Tianlan walked out of the room, and soon a person hurriedly came in, clasped his fists and said, "Lord Wang, the grassland, the grassland has a messenger." ”

"Oh?" King Xin put down the fold, the idle temperament on his body changed, tapped the table with his index finger, and said, "Wanyan finally can't sit still?" ”

Prince's Mansion.

The crown prince of Chu had an ugly face and asked, "Are they really not handing it over?" ”

Prince Zhan Shi nodded and said: "Your Highness, according to the wedding envoy of the Chen Kingdom, the person who beat the prince has been sent back, this must be just an excuse for them to perfunctory us, this person just didn't take His Highness in his eyes at all!" ”

Syllable!

The prince of Chu slapped it on the table and said gloomily: "They still think this is their Chen State!" ”

Prince Zhan Shi raised his head and asked, "Your Highness, after all, they are envoys, if there is any action in the East Palace, I am afraid that the court will not be able to pass that pass." ”

"What's wrong with the envoy?" The crown prince of Chu State clenched his fists and said angrily: "This palace is the crown prince, the future emperor, those old things, who is the prince and the prince of the palace, this palace is not as important as the envoys of Chen State in their eyes!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came forward to report: "The envoy of the Wanyan Department asks to see him." ”

The crown prince of Chu frowned and asked, "Wanyan?" ”

One person stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the grassland people have sent a messenger to visit, and they have arrived in Beijing today." ”

The crown prince of Chu looked outside and asked, "What are they doing in the prince's mansion?" ”

Prince Zhan Shi stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, you might as well let them come in, just ask." ”

After a while, several figures walked into the hall, and a middle-aged woman at the front arched her hand and said, "I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The prince of Chu State glanced at her and said, "There is really no one on the grassland, so he actually sent a woman out to ......"

The middle-aged woman looked up at him and said: "The grassland is barren, there is no Chu country, there are many talents, in addition to the benevolent and virtuous son of heaven, there is also the wise and martial king of Xin, who is prestigious, even in the most remote corners of the grassland, you can often hear his name......

The prince of Chu seemed to have been touched by the scales, his face showed a look of rage, his eyes stared at the woman, and he said word by word: "What did you say?" ”
