Emperor Chu just used this as a threat to force Tang Ning to submit, but he never thought that he would really marry his daughter to the Western Regions.

However, to his great surprise, the other party actually refused to eat soft and hard, and his attitude was so resolute, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Li Tianlan walked in from outside the hall, breaking the deadlock between the two, she looked up at Emperor Chu and said, "Father, the son is willing to accept Xiao Wan's proposal." ”

Tang Ning was secretly happy in her heart, she finally stood on her side.

However, his face showed a sad look, and he said sadly: "Lan Lan ......"

Emperor Chu's face also changed, his purpose was just to make Tang Ning treat her better for the rest of her life, and it was by no means to make her feel angry for a while and make a decision to regret her life.

Rather than let her spend the rest of her life in regret and not be happy for the rest of her life, it is better to cheapen that kid.

He glanced at Tang Ning, his eyes were full of deep meaning, Tang Ning understood what he meant, but he quickly looked away, and did not persuade Li Tianlan according to his meaning.

Emperor Chu was very unhappy in his heart, so he could only re-speak: "This matter is very important, it is related to the relationship between the three countries, you think about it again." ”

Li Tianlan seemed to be fighting with Tang Ning, and said in a firm tone: "No need, Erchen has already decided." ”

"Let's not talk about this matter first...... Emperor Chu knew that she was angry, so he changed the topic and said: "You go to your mother first, she said she missed you this morning......"

After Li Tianlan left the main hall, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and when he looked at Tang Ning, he regained his indifference and said, "Come out with me......

Emperor Chu changed into a casual clothes, and he didn't have that kind of domineering momentum on his body, at most he was just a middle-aged man who looked a little majestic.

Tang Ning followed him, one position behind, and followed him to a teahouse somewhere.

After Emperor Chu sat down, he ordered a pot of tea, looked at Tang Ning, and asked casually, "How does it feel to be the prime minister?" ”

When he no longer felt that the person in front of him was a thief who stole his daughter from his side, and purely from the perspective of an outsider, he had to admit that the light on his body was even more dazzling than those fruitful old ministers in the court.

"Forget." Tang Ning picked up the teacup and moistened his lips, and said, "I haven't been back to Beijing for a long time." ”

Emperor Chu said: "Zhao Zheng is conniving at you. ”

Tang Ning said: "It's okay. ”

Emperor Chu paused for a moment before continuing, "But I am not Zhao Zheng, I only have one daughter, in the past few years, looking at her appearance, I can't wait to send someone to arrest you back and use all the eighteen punishments on you......"

"But I can't do that." Emperor Chu glanced at him with sharp eyes and said, "That Lan Lan will be sad, I don't want her to be sad, and I don't want you to make her sad." ”

"Not anymore." Tang Ning solemnly made a guarantee.

"You've broken her." Emperor Chu put down the teacup heavily and said, "If not, how could she agree to Xiao Wan's proposal?" ”

Emperor Chu was not fooled just now, Tang Ning originally planned to tell the truth, but when he heard what he said just now, things seemed to have taken a turn for the better, so he wisely kept silent.

Emperor Chu looked at him for a long time before he picked up the teacup and said again: "I don't want to pursue the previous things, but Lan Lan, it's impossible for me to watch her go to the Western Regions, you have to persuade her to change her mind, after that, I don't care what you want......"

Unexpectedly, happiness came so suddenly, Tang Ning immediately nodded: "Don't worry, I will persuade her well." ”

Emperor Chu's complexion softened, put down the teacup, got up and left the teahouse.

Tang Ning followed behind him, and at a certain moment, the Chu Emperor suddenly spoke: "Xiao Wan came suddenly this time, the meaning of the alliance with the Chu State is obvious, the reason behind it must not be so simple, their purpose is very likely to be the Chen State, if the Western Regions and the Chu State join forces, within a year, the Chen State will die, you return to China this time, you must be extra careful about the Western Regions." ”

It was not surprising that Emperor Chu thought of this, the relationship between Xiao Wan and Chen Guo was so tense, and at such a moment, he still wanted to marry Chu Guo, an ally of Chen State, this purpose was so obvious that even people without any sense of political smell could figure it out.

Only Tang Ning and a few others knew that Xiao Wan's purpose of envoying Chu this time was actually very simple, it was just a superficial courtship.

But except for Tang Ning and Mr. Xu, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

Tang Ning didn't explain to him, nodded and said, "I know......"

Seeing that his words did not attract enough attention from him, Emperor Chu frowned, and said again: "Xiao Wan's lord is a man with great talents, and his son must not be a mediocre talent, Xiao Wan has coveted Chen Guo for a long time, they have unified the Western Regions, and the next target must be Chen Guo, don't be careless." ”

Tang Ning's expression became solemn, indicating that he had been taught, and then said: "Maybe this new Xiaowan country lord is a good peace-loving person who is unwilling to provoke a war......

Emperor Chu snorted coldly and said, "I don't know if he is a good person, but he must be a pervert!" ”

Tang Ning's feet were unstable and he almost fell, but after stabilizing his body, he was no longer boring.

It's good that the father-in-law has figured it out, he doesn't have to reveal his identity, it is naturally best to take Lan Lan away quietly, and it can also save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

However, many things in this world just don't go their way.

Tang Ning and Chu Huang were walking on the street, their eyes casually flickered, and they saw two people coming in front of them from a distance.

Although these two Tang Ning are not familiar with each other, they have also met a few times in the court, they are not in the Western Regions, but they appear here, they should be the envoys brought by Mr. Xu.

Tang Ning was two steps behind Emperor Chu, and gestured to them from a distance not to come, but after the two saw him, they didn't know if they were wrong or something, their expressions were obvious, and then they lowered their heads and walked over quickly.

Emperor Chu also spotted the two people in front of him, and the guards beside him were about to make a move, but Emperor Chu had already recognized that these two were Xiao Wan's envoys, and waved his hand to stop the guards beside him.

However, this was on the street, and he didn't want to reveal his identity, so he made a gesture to the two of them, signaling them to keep quiet.

However, the two of them didn't look at him at all, walked past him, bowed to Tang Ning, and said, "See the lord of the country." ”

Tang Ning had already felt that Emperor Chu's expression had changed, and looked at the two of them, with a look of surprise on his face, and said, "What kind of lord, you recognize the wrong person......

"National ......"

One of the envoys showed a puzzled look on his face and was about to speak, but the other person pulled his sleeve, and his face instantly showed apology, and said: "I'm sorry, we recognized the wrong person, please ...... the lord of the country, no, please don't be surprised......"

Then, he quickly turned around, saluted Emperor Chu, and said: "I have seen Your Majesty, I saw this young man who looks very similar to the lord of the country just now, and I was a little out of shape for a while, please forgive Your Majesty......"

The other person also hurriedly said: "Please forgive your Majesty......"

Tang Ning looked at Emperor Chu and said with a smile: "They recognized the wrong person." ”

Emperor Chu looked at him expressionlessly and said, "When are you going to pretend to be?" ”
