Chapter 359: I can't help myself
More than two years ago, the Wanyan Department rose from the grassland, unifying the surrounding departments, no one could stop it, even if the two departments of Shuhu and Jiagu, which were also the majority, united, they were not the opponents of the Wanyan Division.
Half a year ago, the situation on the grassland suddenly changed.
The inexplicable rise of Shuhu and Jiagu not only had sufficient food, but also weapons that were enough to resist the Wanyan Tribe, and they encircled other small and medium-sized tribes and vigorously curbed the momentum of the rise of the Wanyan Tribe.
The reason for this situation is that Chen and Chu supported Shuhu and Jiagu behind their backs, and sold them salt and iron weapons that they would not sell in the grassland on weekdays, and their purpose was to cause infighting in the grassland and prevent the unification of the Su Shen clan.
And the culprit who came up with this plan and made it difficult for them to survive from unstoppable to faceless stood in front of her.
Tang Ning looked at the opposite side, and the woman opposite clenched her fists and clenched her silver teeth, looking like she was asking for guilt, as if she wanted to swallow him whole.
Strictly speaking, he is not from Chen Guo, but his home is in Chen Guo, and his family and friends are in Chen Guo, so his position is also in Chen Guo.
Wanyan Yan is a little wild horse on the grassland, born in Wanyan, her position is in the grassland, in Wanyanbu, which is understandable.
The two are just in different positions, and there is no right or wrong.
Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "So you're going to kill me again?" ”
"You are from the grassland, I am from Chen Guo, and we each have our own positions." He walked outside, borrowed a knife from the guard, walked in and handed it to her, and said, "I'll give you a chance, let's fight fairly, whether it's life or death, only those who win are qualified to talk about right and wrong, dare not?" ”
After Yan Yan took the knife, Tang Ning walked into the courtyard and said, "Come on." ”
After Yan Yanjiao scolded, the whole person rushed over.
She swung her knife and slashed at Tang Ning, but with the back of the knife.
Tang Ning didn't hold the weapon, his body turned sideways, raised his foot and kicked her wrist, the long knife in her hand flew out, Tang Ning stretched out his finger on her snow-white neck, and said, "You lost." ”
"I'm no match for you." Wan Yan Yan closed her eyes and said, "You kill me." ”
Tang Ning withdrew his finger, shook his head, and said: "You people, you people talk about fighting and killing all day long, what's the good, open your eyes and take a look, the world is actually very beautiful......"
He walked out of the courtyard gate slowly, and Yan Yan opened his eyes after finishing it.
She slowly crouched down, clasped her hands around her knees, and buried her head between her knees.
Tang Ning was busy alone in the kitchen of the post station, and there were soybeans in the kitchen that he had soaked last night, and now they were all soaked.
It is indeed not very convenient to leave an enemy by her side, but she is not an ordinary enemy, and she cannot be killed casually.
First, she is a hostage, and she has an important role, and second, the hostility between the two is only because of different positions, and aside from their positions, she is just a simple-minded little girl.
It's not the first time he's made tofu brains, and when Zhao Man looked at the tofu flowers in front of him, he was surprised: "Where did you buy it from?" ”
Tang Ning put the bowl down and said, "I just made it, eat it while it's hot." ”
Zhao Man asked happily, "You did it?" ”
Tang Ning nodded and said, "The secret recipe I bought from the proprietress tastes as different as if you taste it." ”
Zhao Man took a small bite and said, "It's better than last time......
When Tang Ning brought it out, he had already tasted it, to say that his craftsmanship was better than that of the proprietress who sold tofu flowers, it was naturally impossible, but it was okay, Zhao Man's words made him feel that this time it was not in vain.
When he walked back to his yard, he saw Yan Yan sitting at the stone table in a daze, Tang Ning put the bowl on the table and entered his room.
After Yan Yan looked down at the tofu flower in the bowl, she picked up the spoon for a long time, tasted a small bite, and then turned into a big mouthful, it seemed that the bowl was not tofu flower, but someone who made her hate itchy......
……
The dust-washing banquet prepared by Liaozhou officials for the mission was held in the Thorn History Mansion, and Zhao Man, as a princess, had a sensitive identity and did not need to attend, and they mainly entertained the Chen delegation headed by Tang Ning.
Lu Teng refused the invitation to the banquet on the grounds of ensuring the princess's safety, and the other officials were all present.
After taking his seat, Liaozhou Assassin Shi looked at Tang Ning and said in surprise: "As far as this official knows, there should be another deputy envoy in your country, why haven't you seen it?" ”
Tang Ning said regretfully: "Lord He had a little accident on the way, and he will go directly to Kyoto when the time comes." ”
Liaozhou Thorn Shi didn't ask much, and said with a smile: "Let's move the chopsticks, Lord Tang will taste the dishes of my Chu Kingdom, whether it suits your appetite." ”
Chen and Chu are one south and one north, and there are some differences in food culture, but Tang Ning was a native of the north in his last life, and when it comes to it, he is more accustomed to the food customs of Chu.
This point, he has already confirmed from Li Tianlan, in addition to the two of them having a compatible personality, being able to eat in the same pot is also an important reason why they can become good friends.
During the banquet, the Liaozhou Assassin suddenly looked at him and asked, "Your country sent an envoy here this time, do you still want to marry the county lord of Changning for the prince of your country?" ”
Tang Ning took a bite of food and said, "Let's eat well today and don't talk about business." ”
Liaozhou Thorn Shi smiled and said, "What Lord Tang said is, eat vegetables, eat vegetables......"
This meal was very enjoyable, and the attitude of the Liaozhou officials towards them was extremely good, even surpassing the Chen Guo officials who met along the way.
In the end, it is a foreign monk who is good at chanting scriptures, Chen and Chu are both countries of etiquette, and now the national strength is equal, no matter which country's envoys visit another country, they will be respected and preferential.
The dinner started and ended in a pleasant atmosphere.
Liaozhou Assassin Shi and the officials sent them out of the Assassin Mansion, and arched their hands: "Lord Tang and all the adults go slowly." ”
Seeing them leave, the smile on Liaozhou Thorn Shi's face gradually calmed down.
An official stood behind him and whispered: "Princess Pingyang of Chen Guo is married to the crown prince, and Chen Guo will naturally be inclined to the crown prince, which is very disadvantageous to the prince, should we watch them escort Princess Pingyang to Kyoto safely?" ”
Liaozhou Thorn Shi looked at him and said indifferently: "What you said just now, if the prince hears it, you can only go to the front to resist the grassland people." ”
Liaozhou Sima looked at him and said calmly: "Even if the prince is here, I have to say this, the prince is incompetent, if His Majesty passes on the throne to him, the prince and His Majesty have managed the Chu State with great difficulty, and it will be completely destroyed in his hands, when the time comes, will there be any place for me?" ”
"After following the prince for so long, you still don't understand the prince's mind?" Liaozhou Thorn Shi looked at him and asked, "If the prince really has the heart to be the emperor, will you and I be sent here?" ”
Liaozhou Sima smiled and said: "Life in the world, the body can't help himself, the prince is not only incompetent, but also extremely narrow-minded, if he is on the throne, he will not let go of the prince, even if the prince does not have the heart to be the emperor, will he let the prince slaughter?" ”
Liaozhou Thorn Shi pondered for a moment before he sighed and said, "I heard that Your Majesty's health is getting worse and worse. ”
Liaozhou Sima looked at him and said: "There are many people in the court like you and me, many people are waiting, get ready, that day is coming......"
