Chapter 687: Kindness
Tang Ning looked up at Emperor Chen, a little incredulous, such shameless words actually came out of his mouth.
What does it mean that he is good at this, this is obviously a bloody mouth, Zhao Man is already full of resentment about his status, if Wan Yan Yan cuts the queue again, Zhao Man will hate him to death.
Tang Ning arched his hand and said: "Minister, minister is not good at this kind of means......"
Chen Huang waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be modest, you are dignified, knowledgeable, and even the first beauty of the Beijing division can be won, just a barbarian princess, can you escape your hands?" ”
Tang Ning said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, you don't know, those people on the grassland, they wear sheepskins, and they don't like to take a bath, ministers, ministers don't do it......"
Emperor Chen looked at him and said earnestly: "This is also for the sake of the overall situation, only if I have wronged you, you can rest assured, if this matter can be done, it can save me Chen Guo from the biggest trouble of the grassland, and when you come back, I will reward you with ten first-class beauties......
Tang Ning hurriedly said: "The minister has thanked Your Majesty for your kindness, but the ladies in the minister's family are enough, and they are not strong enough, please take back your Majesty's life......"
There are already a lot of four-room ladies in the family, plus three maids who have not grown up, Tang Ning has to think about his body and kidneys, although the little wild horse is good, but he is not good at riding, and he can't control it......
Emperor Chen shook his head and said, "Since you don't want to go, forget it, it just so happens that there is only Wang Xiang left in Shangshu Province, and you can stay and help him." ”
Tang Ning bowed and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”
"Stand down." Emperor Chen waved his hand, as if talking to himself: "The woman in the Western Regions is beautiful, I don't know if Xiao Wan has a princess, but there is one in the Chu State, but unfortunately the soldiers and horses were scattered by the Wanyan Department on the grassland, and now I don't know what happened......
After finishing speaking, he saw Tang Ning standing in place, not exiting yet, and wondered, "Why don't you leave?" ”
Tang Ning raised his head and said, "The minister is concerned about the situation in the grassland, what did Your Majesty say about the grassland just now?" ”
Emperor Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Did I talk about the grassland just now?" ”
Tang Ning nodded and said, "Your Majesty said that the princess of Chu was scattered by Wanyan on the grassland......
"You say this." Emperor Chen said: "This is a spy report from the spies ahead, the third prince of the grassland led 50,000 soldiers and horses, and scattered the 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Princess Changning of Chu State, and the whereabouts of Princess Changning and her subordinates are now unknown......"
He looked at Tang Ning and said, "What do you care about the affairs of Chu State, go to Shangshu Province earlier, Wang Xiang is old, you can help him share more of the affairs of Shangshu Province." ”
Tang Ning stood in place and said, "After thinking about it just now, the minister decided to go to the grassland. ”
Emperor Chen looked at him and said in surprise: "Didn't you just say that you wouldn't go?" ”
"The minister is ashamed...... Tang Ning lowered his head and said ashamedly: "The minister should not only think about his own selfishness, regardless of the general situation, the north needs the minister, and the minister is duty-bound......"
Emperor Chen glanced at him in surprise and said, "It's best if you think like this, then the fourth princess of Wanyan ......"
Tang Ning bowed and said, "The minister must do his best to ......"
Emperor Chen nodded with satisfaction and said, "I asked the military department to prepare, and you also go back to clean up, and you will set off today......"
……
Since Emperor Chen had already planned to cooperate with Wan Yan Yan, the holy decree of slaughtering prisoners of war that was issued two days ago would naturally have to be taken back in a hurry for 800 miles.
Jun Wu jokes are relative, as long as there are enough chips, what the emperor says can be taken back.
When Tang Ning returned home, Zhongyi and Su Ru heard the news and were already waiting for him at home.
Zhong Yi walked over quickly and said, "Xianggong, is it true that General Xiao is fine?" ”
Tang Ning nodded and said, "It's true, he's still alive and well." ”
"Great......" Su Ru said with a smile on her face, "So Sister Lu doesn't have to be sad." ”
Tang Ning looked at them and said, "In a few days, I may have to go to the grassland." ”
"Why?" Zhong Yi's face changed slightly, and he asked: "General Xiao is fine, why does Xianggong go to the grassland, where there are chaos and chaos, so dangerous......"
Of course, Tang Ning didn't want to see the scenery of the desert on a whim, Xiao Jue drank wine and ate meat at Wan Yan Yan, but Li Tianlan didn't know where it was, although Tang Ning believed in her ability, but if he didn't go to see it in person, how could he rest assured.
After listening to his explanation, Zhong Yi glanced at him, nodded and said, "In that case, then the prime minister will go, and we will wait for you to come back......"
If your own lady is not distressed, no one will feel distressed, Tang Ning has a reason to go this time, and he likes them to express his understanding.
Of course, even if there are 10,000 iron horsemen and 100,000 troops around him, he still has to bring a few people around him.
Chen Zhou must be brought, he can save a lot of worry in Tangning, Lao Zheng also has to take it, such a bodyguard can't be found with a lantern, as for the old beggar, because his martial arts are higher, so it's better to let him stay at home and take care of the house After all, Tang Ning has a lot of enemies in Beijing, and after he leaves, what he is most worried about is his family.
He transferred some grassland information from the military department, and before he could finish reading it, a housekeeper from the Xiao Mansion came to the door and handed over an invitation, saying that Old Man Xiao had an invitation.
There has been a false alarm in the Xiao Mansion in the past few days, and the old man Xiao has set up a banquet in the mansion, and the participants are all the old departments of the Xiao family, except for Lu Ding, the secretary of the military department.
Over the years, the subordinates who have walked out from Old Master Xiao have long been all over the Sixteen Guards, which is one of the reasons why no one dares to make a mistake in the Xiao Mansion even if the Xiao Mansion declines.
As for why Lu Ding was able to come, naturally because Xiao Lu's two families have become sons and daughters, they can be regarded as a family.
During the banquet, Old Man Xiao stood up and raised a glass to Tang Ning and said, "This cup, the old man respects General Tang." ”
Tang Ning hurriedly stood up and said, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”
Old Master Xiao said solemnly: "If it weren't for General Tang, my Xiao family would be extinct now, and General Tang would have taken this cup." ”
Old man Xiao insisted, Tang Ning had no choice but to return a glass, and when he put down the cup, Lu Ding also stood up, raised his glass and said: "This official also respects Lord Tang." ”
Lu Ding and Old Master Xiao had the same reason, Tang Ning didn't bother to excuse himself, raised his glass, drank all the wine in the cup, and said: "Xiao Jue and I are originally friends, this is all as it should be, Old General Xiao and Lord Lu don't need to be polite." ”
Old man Xiao shook his head and said: "Friends are friends, kindness is kindness, your kindness to the Xiao family, the old man remembers it in his heart, this kindness must be repaid, but in the future, with General Tang's sending, the Xiao family will not shirk ......"
Lu Ding glanced at him and said, "My Lu family also accepts this love." ”
Tang Ning smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then the junior is welcome, in fact, I just have something to ask the two of you to help." ”
Old man Xiao said: "General Tang, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Tang Ning said: "Tang has a lot of enemies in Beijing, this time I was ordered to leave Beijing, there are important things to do, after I leave, I am worried that they will take action against my family, I hope that when the time comes, Old Master Xiao and General Lu can help take care of the ......."
Old Master Xiao looked serious and said: "This matter, General Tang don't worry, if during your absence, your family is missing a hair, and the old man will come to see you!" ”
Tang Ning hurriedly said: "Xiao Lao's words are serious, and his words are serious......
Old man Xiao is a military general, what he said is the same as a military order, and it is a bit unrealistic, but no matter what, his determination, Tang Ning has already felt it, and he can finally leave with confidence.
There are still many people, he has to say hello before leaving, Wu has the Xiao family, the Ling family, the Lu family, the Wen Youfang family, the Song family, and the father-in-law who is Jing Zhaoyin, there is really nothing to worry about.
Old Master Xiao looked at Tang Ning and suddenly said, "General Tang will meet that unfilial son when he goes to the north this time, right?" ”
Tang Ning nodded and said, "I should see you." ”
Old man Xiao looked at it, a trace of fierceness appeared on his face, and said: "The old man hopes that when General Tang sees him, he will help the old man beat him hard, as long as he is not killed or disabled, then the unfilial son will be ......beaten by you."
Tang Ning smiled and said, "If Elder Xiao doesn't say that, I will do the same......"
