Tang Ning looked at Tang Yaoyao's disdainful eyes, and simply chose to be silent.

Anyway, his image in her mind can't be reversed, and whether she eats Xiu'er or not, it won't change much.

A group of four people said goodbye to everyone, and set foot on the road to Chu the next day.

This is Tang Ning's second trip to Chu State, and the choice is also another path.

This time, without the official background of Chen Guo, they kept a low profile all the way, but they saw many things that they didn't see when they came to Chu last time.

The state of Chu was a new generation of power, and for a long time, it was shrouded in the shadow of the state of Chen, and it was only a few years ago that it got rid of the control of the state of Chen and was able to develop independently.

Tang Ning walked through several state capitals, and he obviously noticed that the Chu State had learned and borrowed from the Chen State in many systems, and those Chen State systems were also implemented and perfected by Tang Ning in the past two years.

In a certain state of Chu State, when several people were bored to watch the county order trial, they actually found that the county order was a woman.

Tang Ning's impression of the Chu State, although there are also female officials, but it is limited to Li Tianlan's princess mansion, and the selection of the county order is only one way through the imperial examination, which shows that there are women in the Chu State to participate in the imperial examination, not a martial arts examination for Chen Guo, but a literary examination that can be used as an official after passing it.

In this world, only Xiao Wan has this kind of advanced consciousness.

Before the unification of the Western Regions, Xiao Wan could only be regarded as a small country in the eyes of Chu State, and Chu State not only learned from Chen State, but was so mad that even Xiao Wan's system had to be used for reference......

While the state of Chu continues to develop and become stronger and stronger, several princes of the state of Chen are still busy fighting and rebelling, and perhaps one day, the former status of the two countries will be completely reversed.

Of course, this trip to Chu was not necessarily smooth sailing.

During this period, I also encountered two bandits and horse bandits, who wanted to rob and seek money, but the result was unexpectedly miserable, and he was almost overtaken by Lao Zheng to another world.

In addition to this, there are other episodes, which are not pleasant.

At this moment, more than ten zhang in front of them, there were more than 100 figures, weapons out of the sheath, pointing at them from afar.

A young man in a fancy costume with half of his face visibly swollen stood behind the crowd and looked at them with a resentful expression.

The reason for the incident is actually very simple, when Tang Ning and a few people passed by this place called Xianzhou, Xiaoxiao was targeted by a local gentleman, who chased and beat her fiercely at first, but still maintained his demeanor.

After stalking for a long time, and getting no response from Xiaoxiao, he revealed his true form and uttered threatening words.

As a result, he was swollen by the old beggar who had never refused to let his baby apprentice be wronged, and several guards around him were also killed in an instant, and fled with him.

However, what Tang Ning didn't expect was that this young man seemed to really have some energy in Xianzhou, and after they left the city today, they were surrounded by more than 100 officers and soldiers.

The young man stood in the crowd, looked at the old beggar and Tang Ning and the others, gritted his teeth and said, "Old fellow, aren't you very good at fighting, today I want to see where you can run!" ”

He looked at the leader of the officers and soldiers, and said, "Let's go together, don't hurt that girl, and the rest of us don't care if they live or die!" ”

Although those officers and soldiers were reluctant in their hearts, they still listened to the young man's words and approached Tang Ning and the others.

The Eighth Elder raised his hand and threw something into the group of officers and soldiers.

The next moment, a cloud of smoke appeared in the crowd.

Including the young man, more than 100 officers and soldiers began to cough incessantly, they clutched their throats and bowed down, as if they wanted to cough out their lungs, where could they care about dealing with Tang Ning and others?

Tang Ning knew that the effect of this smoke would only make them uncomfortable for half an hour, but it was not fatal, and he would not kill these people because of this little conflict, just glanced at them and left with Xiaoxiao.

Half an hour later, someone slowly got up from the ground and scolded angrily: "Shameless, actually use poison!" ”

After the young man was helped up, his face was extremely gloomy, and he looked at the direction in which Tang Ning and the others disappeared, but in the end no one chased after him.

Not to mention that a long time has passed, it is difficult to catch up with them, and even if they do, do they have to do it like this again?

He turned around a little annoyed and said in a low voice, "Go back!" ”

The group returned to Xianzhou City, the officers and soldiers returned to the Yamen, and the young man walked into a certain Gaomen mansion with a gloomy face.

"Stop!" At the door, a middle-aged man looked at him, with a calm face, and asked, "Where have you been again?" ”

The young man waved his hand and said, "Go drink......"

"Drinking?" The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said, "Liu Tingshi said that you took a hundred officers and soldiers out of the city, and you are becoming more and more lawless now......

"This is Xianzhou, not Kyoto, what are you afraid of?" The young man pursed his lips, his tone suddenly became cold again, and said, "Don't let me meet those few out-of-state people again, next time I will let them die without a place to bury!" ”

The middle-aged man looked at him and said seriously: "From now on, you will be honest with me, and you will not cause trouble outside!" ”

The young man was about to return the favor, but suddenly he seemed to realize something, and his spirits perked up, and he asked, "Is that thing true?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Compared to those few wastes, you have great hopes, don't let the above hear negative news about you......"

"I know......" The young man nodded again and again, and said: "The big things are important, the big things are important, from today on, I won't leave the palace......"

……

"Apart from the prince of King Jing, who else is qualified?"

"King Jing, King Jing oppresses the people in the fiefdom, doing all kinds of evil, he can be the prince, isn't Lord Wang really joking?"

"I think the prince of Wei is more suitable than the prince of Jing......"

"Nonsense, the prince is the best candidate......"

Chu State, Kyoto.

Emperor Chu sat quietly on the dragon chair, and below him were several ministers, arguing fiercely about something.

The throne of the current Chu Emperor was given by the first emperor Chan, and when today's son is in the prime of life, he wants to sit on the throne until his twilight years, and it is impossible to pass the throne to his brother, but he has no prince under his knees, so he can only choose one from the kings and establish him as the prince.

The first emperor had only one crown prince, and no one would have expected that it was not the crown prince who would inherit the throne, but King Xin.

Therefore, those royal children who were separated from the outside world never had the luxury of the position of the Son of Heaven, so they simply used the status of the royal family to live a wanton and indulgent life, and many of them were infected with the habit of being a gentleman.

Now, what these ministers need to do is to choose the least unscrupulous one among these gentlemen, and in the future, teach him to change his past mistakes, work hard to improve himself, and become a generation of Ming Jun.

However, the emperor of Chu has the habit of setting up the prince early, which leads to the prince being strictly demanded, and most of those who have no hope of competing for the prince give up on themselves and just want to live a free life.

Emperor Chu listened to the arguments of the people below, and at a certain moment, he looked at an old man at the front and asked, "Prime Minister thinks, who is the most qualified for the position of prince?" ”

The old man thought for a while and said, "Several princes, whether they are virtuous or talented, cannot meet the requirements of the prince, but if you have to choose one of them with a decent temperament, you can only offer the prince of the king......"
