Chapter 648: Vigilance
King Huai is extremely interesting.
He was a high prince, but he didn't have a prince's shelf, only a princess who was obedient to her, and she could pull down her face and turn to him for help for a pastry she liked to eat, and she didn't care about any royal majesty.
Moreover, he looked as weak as himself, but judging from his reaction just now, his skills were not below Tang Ning, and even higher than him.
At least, Tang Ning himself can't be as free as King Huai, and Taishan collapses in front of him without changing his face.
In other words, he looks harmless to humans and animals, but in fact, he may be a tiger that chooses people to devour.
"A little bit of practice......" Tang Ning pulled the corners of his mouth, if King Huai had only practiced a little martial arts, he would dare to eat the arrow just now.
Modesty may have a degree, but people who are too humble are either really not good, or their scheming is deep to the extreme.
Sun Qian, the servant of the ministry, walked over, looked at Tang Ning, and said in shock: "Lord Tang can catch the stray arrow empty-handed, with the skills of an adult, if you participate in the martial arts, it is not a problem to win a martial champion......
"Master Sun is overrated." Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "I've just practiced for a few days......
……
Tang Ning didn't wait for the end of today's competition to leave, and he really wanted to go home for dinner.
In his previous life, he had been alone for a long time, but now he enjoys this feeling of family happiness very much.
After eating, Tang Ning and Su Mei went out for a walk, and when they mentioned King Huai's request, Su Mei raised her eyebrows, looked at him, and asked, "King Huai"
Tang Ning nodded and said, "He said that Princess Huai likes to eat natural lily cakes, let people ask you about the secret recipe, he wants to buy it." ”
Su Meihu said suspiciously: "Only this"
Tang Ning nodded and said, "That's the only one." ”
In fact, he was also surprised for a while just now, after all, a man like him who can pull down his son for his wife, how can Jingshi have a second one
Su Mei thought for a while and said: "The secret recipe of the Qiqiao Lily Cake is nothing, I am worried that he has other intentions, Huai Wang has a lot of doubts, and I have never been able to see through it." ”
Downing asked, "What's the doubt?"
Su Mei said: "There is no doubt. ”
Tang Ning looked at Su Mei a little speechlessly, and said, "You just said that there is." ”
Su Mei looked at Tang Ning and explained: "His biggest suspicion is that he has no suspicions, whether it is the civil and military officials in the court, or King Kang Duanwang, more or less, he can find out some tricks, but King Huai does not, he lives in a simple place on weekdays, and there are very few records of him in the natural residence, and he can't find any suspicions." ”
She thought for a while, and said: "Moreover, this time the dispute between King Kang and King Duan, it seems that King Kang failed and King Duan benefited, but in fact, what he got was some false names, and the central department of the court that King Kang originally controlled was given to King Huai, and he was also responsible for the martial arts, and all he got were substantial benefits......"
……
Hearing Su Mei say this, Tang Ning also realized that in the battle between King Kang and King Duan, King Huai can be called the king of leaks.
When he first came to Beijing, King Huai was just a salted fish who could only say "Brother Duan is right, Brother Kang is right, and the two brothers are right", and he did not have any foundation and power in the court, but three years later, he already controlled so many resources in his hands......
Su Mei looked at him and said, "King Huai is not a simple person, no matter what, you still have to be careful." ”
Tang Ning smiled and said, "Got it." ”
Su Mei's sense of smell is much more sensitive than him, although Tang Ning is the head of the family, many times, he will also succumb to her decision.
This is because after careful consideration, he often finds that what Su Mei said is right, but Tang Ning himself sometimes acts with righteousness.
The two walked and walked, and when they came to a certain place, they stopped at the same time.
This place was very familiar, in front of it was the backyard of the Red Sleeve Pavilion, and Tang Ning looked up and found that the windows of the room he lived in before were still hidden.
Inside that window, there are many memories of their first acquaintance.
Su Mei smiled at him charmingly and asked, "Do you want to go up and have a look?"
……
Tang Ning got up late the next day, resulting in a quarter of an hour late to arrive at the Xiao Cavalry Camp.
King Huai looked at him and said, "Lord Tang's spirit doesn't look good, didn't you sleep well last night?"
King Huai doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks, if he also has three concubines, after being squeezed by one of them, he will be squeezed by the other two when he goes back at night, and he won't sleep well.
Of course, now he is much better than before.
He handed an envelope to King Huai and said, "This is the secret recipe for the Qiqiao Lily Cake, and His Highness has taken it." ”
King Huai took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and handed it to him, saying, "Thank you." ”
Tang Ning accepted the money and sat back in his place.
The examiners of the martial arts were originally sitting at the front, and this place was theoretically 100% safe, but since yesterday's incident, they have moved their positions back a few feet and placed a wooden screen behind the candidates.
There are thousands of people in the Gyeonggi area who have signed up for the martial arts, and Zuo Xiaowei's school field is very large, and it can be divided into several areas to be held at the same time, and the first round of the martial arts can be completed in five or six days.
Tang Ning and Huai Wang still left a little earlier before the end of today's competition.
When he returned home, he unexpectedly saw Lu Ya.
Lu Ya and the county lord of Anyang used to come to the Tang family often, but since Xiao Jue left, Lu Ya has come here less often, and after that incident, the county lord of Anyang has never come again.
In the study, Tang Ning looked at Lu Ya and asked, "What is the matter with Miss Lu looking for me?"
Lu Ya looked at him and said, "I want to participate in martial arts." ”
"You" Tang Ning looked at her in surprise, Chen Guo is not allowed to participate in the civil and martial arts, unless he disguises himself as a man, but even so, enlisting in the army must be strictly inspected, and she can't pass that level.
Lu Ya looked at him and said: "Chen Guo has a precedent for women to participate in martial arts, decades ago, there were countless female generals who fought on the battlefield, it was possible before, why can't it now?"
Tang Ning knew what she said, decades ago, the grassland attacked on a large scale, and the men of the Chen State General Gate were killed and injured countless times, and no one was available, and in the end, in order to defend the country, the women in the gate also put on armor and went out one after another, and won the battle to defend the country with difficulty.
Tang Ning knew that she wanted to see Xiao Jue, thought about it, and said, "I'll try, but I don't know if Your Majesty will agree." ”
Lu Ya nodded and said, "Thank you, Lord Tang." ”
……
In the imperial study, Emperor Chen closed the fold in his hand, looked at Tang Ning, shook his head and said: "Let the woman go to the front to fight, it is a shame for me Chen Guo, the man of Chen Guo has not died yet, it is not the turn of the woman to rush to the front, this matter, there is no need to mention it." ”
This matter is actually a matter for Chen Huang to nod his head, he doesn't agree, and Tang Ning can't help it.
It's just that Lu Ya's idea of fighting side by side with Xiao Jue in front is doomed to fail.
……
Kyoshi, somewhere in the garden.
Today is a garden party held by the county lord of Anyang, and the participants are all famous ladies in Beijing, when Lu Ya was sitting in the corner in a daze, the county lord of Anyang came over and asked with a smile: "What, I miss your Xiao Jue again"
Lu Ya sighed and said, "Your Majesty did not agree to that matter. ”
The county lord of Anyang thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, I'll help you think of a way."
Lu Ya shook her head and said, "Forget it, even Lord Tang can't do it, and it's even more impossible for others." ”
The county lord of Anyang was stunned and asked, "Which Lord Tang?"
Lu Ya said: "Naturally, it's Tang Shilang, he only helped me ask Your Majesty yesterday, and Your Majesty didn't agree, so you don't need to trouble Sister Anyang anymore." ”
Thinking of Tang Ning, the county lord of Anyang showed anger on his face and said: "What is this, what the surname Tang can do, I can do it in Anyang, and what the surname Tang can't do, I can still do it in Anyang, don't worry, this matter is handed over to me!" ”
