Li Tianlan walked to the side of the street and said to the old woman who sold noodles: "Mother-in-law, two bowls of noodles." ”

"A bowl is all it takes." Tang Ning turned back to the old woman and said, sat opposite Li Tianlan, and explained, "I'm not hungry. ”

On the noodle stall, the old woman saw that his face was the same as last time, maybe she would add some ingredients to it, for the sake of caution, he just watched her eat.

After Li Tianlan sat down, he looked at him and said, "The south is not peaceful these days, and you won't be able to leave for a while." ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "Wait until the imperial court suppresses the rebellion, and then we will set off." ”

After a while, the old woman had already brought the noodles, Li Tianlan took the chopsticks, and said: "The imperial court is already preparing for rehabilitation, the king of Zhou can only occupy the land of the five states, and he can't become a climate, when the time comes, you can set off with the army." ”

Following the rehabilitation army of the Chu State, safety can naturally be guaranteed, Tang Ning did not hesitate too much, nodded, and said, "Okay." ”

He watched Li Tianlan eat noodles in small bites, the fragrance came from the noodles, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously.

Li Tianlan looked at him, took an empty bowl, gave him half of it from the bowl, and said, "It's too much, I can't eat it." ”

A porridge and a meal are not easy to come by, and it is shameful to waste food, since she can't eat it, it's okay to help her share a little.

Tang Ning didn't care that she had already eaten two bites just now, anyway, it wasn't that she hadn't eaten the leftovers of her food, I have to say that this old woman's noodles were really delicious, he wanted to spend a lot of money to buy the secret recipe before going back, and give it to Xiaoyi Xiaoru and them to taste, but according to the current situation, she should not sell it.

Tang Ning took a bite under the unkind gaze of the old woman, and Li Tianlan, who looked at it, asked: "Now that the crown prince has been deposed and King Xin has succeeded to the throne, there is nothing to worry about, what are you going to do in the future?" ”

Li Tianlan thought for a while and said: "Stay in the court to assist my father, or lead the troops to the north, the grassland is always a big threat, and sooner or later there will be a battle to be fought." ”

"Ahem!" The old woman coughed heavily and said, "You are a girl's family, what court you care, what kind of war you fight, the girl should embroider and find a good family to marry herself......"

Although as an old woman selling noodles on the street, she should not meddle in the affairs of the princess, but Tang Ning coincided with her views this time.

As a woman, she doesn't think about herself, she always thinks about the court, the country and the like, which is really incomprehensible.

However, just because she is Li Tianlan, not Zhao Man or Wan Yanyan, these thoughts will appear in her, and it is normal for them to appear.

If her interests and ambitions were just embroidery and embroidery, and she would find a good person to marry her, she would not know Master Xiao Li, and the two of them would not sit in a noodle restaurant in Kyoto, Chu State, and eat the same bowl of noodles like today.

Tang Ning finished eating the noodles, took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and his wrist was suddenly held by the old woman.

She looked at Downing and asked, "Where did you get this handkerchief?" ”

Being held by her wrist, Tang Ning subconsciously wanted to break free, but her thin palm was like an iron tong, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move at all.

Li Tianlan looked at the old woman and said, "Mother-in-law, it's okay." ”

This handkerchief was handed to him by Li Tianlan last time, and he kept it on his body, and without waiting for him to explain, his wrist was let go by the old woman again.

After glaring at him, the old woman packed up the bowl and walked out, Tang Ning rubbed his wrist, glanced back, and said, "The old man has a lot of strength." ”

Li Tianlan looked at him and said, "My martial arts were taught by my mother-in-law. ”

Tang Ning glanced back again, a look of surprise on his face.

Li Tianlan's martial arts, he is afraid that he will not be able to catch up in his life, and it is really unimaginable how powerful her master is.

The old beggar who sells small yellow books is a master, the butcher who kills the pig is a master, and now even the old woman who sells noodles is a hidden master in the world.

The old beggar once said that the famous masters on the rivers and lakes are actually like that, but they are the folk hidden dragon and crouching tiger, and there are often unborn masters.

I don't know how she compares to Lao Zheng, but seeing that she is also old, it is estimated that she can't withstand a few knives from Lao Zheng.

But no matter what, with the hand she just had, she couldn't afford to mess with herself.

After eating noodles and walking out of the shop, Li Tianlan looked at him and said, "When you go back, let your mission start to prepare, the army will leave soon, and it should be in these few days." ”

Tang Ning said: "It was ready a few days ago. ”

Li Tianlan nodded and said, "I'm back to the palace." ”

Tang Ning walked beside her and said, "I'll send you." ”

The noodle stall was not far from the palace, and the two chatted casually all the way, and when they walked to the palace gate, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind them.

In Kyoto, it is not an emergency, it is forbidden to ride horses, Tang Ning turned his head and heard a "hoo".

When the horse stopped, he collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth, apparently exhausted.

A knight fell from his horse, looking equally tired, crawled on the ground twice with difficulty, took out an envelope from his bosom, and hissed: "King Zhou, King Zhou's secret letter ......"

Li Tianlan walked over quickly, took the envelope from his hand, and instructed the guards who rushed over: "Help him in to rest." ”

She opened the envelope, and Downing stood beside her and glanced at it, only to see that the white paper was empty, and there was not a word.

"You go back first." Li Tianlan looked at him and said a word, and hurried back to the palace.

Tang Ning watched her enter the palace before shaking his head and turning to leave.

King Zhou's secret letter, didn't King Zhou rebel, he actually sent a secret letter to Kyoto ......, it seems that this rebellion, I'm afraid there are other hidden secrets.

However, this should belong to the secret of the Chu State, and he just needs to wait for the news when he returns to the Splendid Palace.

Inside the palace, in the imperial study.

The new Hubu Shangshu slowly walked out, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the grain, grass and silver of the 100,000 army, the Hubu has been prepared, and it will be on the road tomorrow." ”

The secretary of the military department then came out of the ranks, bowed down and said: "All the weapons, vehicles, and military departments have also been prepared. ”

It has been a few days since the news of King Zhou's rebellion reached Kyoto, and as soon as he got the news, the imperial court attached great importance to it and urgently mobilized troops, horses, grain and grass to go to Cangzhou to suppress it.

This is the first battle after the new emperor succeeds to the throne, and it is also an excellent deterrent opportunity, if the imperial court can use the power of thunder to exterminate the traitors, then those snakes, insects, rats and ants who are hiding in the shadows will not dare to act rashly.

A general knelt down on one knee and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to receive the order and lead 100,000 soldiers to crusade against the traitors!" ”

King Xin looked at him, nodded, and said, "In that case, I will order you to ......."

"Father." Before he finished his words, Li Tianlan walked into the hall quickly, stepped forward, put a letter on the table, and said, "Someone brought it from Cangzhou, saying that it was a secret letter from King Zhou. ”

"King Zhou?" After a pause, King Shin took out a piece of paper from his envelope, looked behind him, and said, "Fetch a candle." ”

Soon a eunuch brought a candle and lit it.

Shinoh placed the white paper on top of the candle, kept a certain distance from the flame, and gently grilled it, and the handwriting on the paper soon appeared.

After reading it, King Xin put it down, got up and said, "Those people on the grassland again......"

His eyes were slightly condensed, and he said: "They controlled the king of Zhou, and in the name of the king of Zhou, they summoned the generals of the five states to kill those who were unwilling to cooperate, just to make trouble for us?" ”

Li Tianlan looked at him and said, "They want my soldiers of the Chu State to kill each other. ”

King Shin looked at the piece of paper again and said, "However, this is only a one-sided statement, and it is not enough to fully believe. ”

Li Tianlan thought for a while and said: "If what is said in this letter is true, as long as those people can be solved, there is no need to mobilize the army and use swords and soldiers, it is better to order the army to stand still and send people to investigate the news......"

King Xin waved his hand and said: "Since the soldiers and horses have been gathered, they must be gone, but they can't sacrifice the lives of the soldiers in vain, I will send secret spies to Cangzhou to find out the truth first......

Li Tianlan thought about it, looked at him, and said, "I'll go." ”
