Chapter 400: Investigate first
On the second day after the funeral of Emperor Chu, 100,000 troops have been assembled outside Beijing, and today is the time to set off.
This time King Zhou's rebellion, although it caused a lot of turmoil in the country, but it is not entirely a bad thing, King Xin has just ascended the throne, it is the time to need to establish authority, fight this battle, the majesty of the new emperor will also be completely established, deterring the ill-intentioned Bafang Xiaoxiao.
The Chen envoy had already been prepared, and the entourage of ministers and guards were waiting outside the Splendid Palace to leave.
Lu Teng walked over slowly, looked at Tang Ning and said, "Lord Tang, the army outside the city is about to start, and we have to set off." ”
Tang Ning stood outside the Splendid Palace, looked in the direction of the palace, and said, "Wait a little longer." ”
Someone said that he would come and see him off in person when they left, and Tang Ning asked the guards at the gate of the palace to enter the palace yesterday to spread the word, but she has not appeared yet.
When she left Chen Guo, she walked quietly, and now there is no one to be seen, Tang Ning looked in a certain direction, and frowned slightly.
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Teng came over again and said, "Lord Tang, the army outside the city has already set off, and it will be too late if you don't leave." ”
Tang Ning took one last look in that direction and waved his hand, "Let's go." ”
On this return trip, in addition to the eight hundred guards led by Lu Teng, the State of Chu also sent people to escort them, and there was a large army in front of them, so there was no need to worry about any safety issues.
Leaving for Chen Guo today, Zhao Man didn't sleep all night last night when she was excited, and pulled Tang Ning to accompany her to see the stars for half a night.
Wan Yan Yan prepared an oversized burden as if she was moving, carrying it on her back like a huge snail, and her burden alone occupied an entire carriage.
Tang Shui got out of the carriage, looked at him, and asked, "Do you still have to wait?" ”
The team in front of him had already begun to set off, Tang Ning shook his head and said, "Don't wait, get in the car." ”
The 100,000-strong army had already been marched out, and the envoy had been more than ten miles out of Beijing, and Tang Ning rode on a horse, confirming that she would not come, and finally stopped looking back.
Thinking of when she left, he rode dozens of miles to see each other, and compared the two, he was inevitably a little lost in his heart, and whispered: "Words don't count, what kind of person is ......?"
"Are you talking about me?" A young general rode behind him, and Downing turned to look at her, nearly falling off his horse.
He looked at Li Tianlan and said in surprise: "Why are you dressed like this?" ”
If he hadn't seen her men's clothes, Tang Ning would have thought that this was a young general.
Her appearance is more heroic, as if this armor uniform is tailor-made for her.
Li Tianlan said: "King Zhou's rebellion is not ordinary, I'll check it out." ”
Tang Ning thought that she was here to send herself, but she didn't expect that she just had a task on her body, and she couldn't even tell lies, she was really a woman who didn't understand amorous feelings.
Tang Ning glanced at her and asked, "Could it be that King Zhou rebelled, what else is there to hide?" ”
"It's about the people on the prairie." Li Tianlan said: "They did not go back to the grassland, but went around to the south, and the king of Zhou and those generals were controlled by them. ”
"Control?" Tang Ning frowned and asked, "Is the news true?" ”
"I don't know yet." Li Tianlan said: "I'll go to Cangzhou to investigate first, it's best if I don't use swords, what they want to see most is that we kill each other." ”
Tang Ning said: "I'll go with you." ”
The second prince and the others are not worried, what needs to be worried is the middle-aged woman.
King Zhou and those generals should have been controlled by her poisonous Gu technique, and Tang Ning also knew a little about poisonous Gu, so he also knew very well that in this world, death was not the most terrible thing, there were many things that were more terrible than death.
Under that kind of threat, it only takes a few times for a person to be tortured to the point that life is worse than death, and even a person with extreme perseverance will lose his will and his relatives will not recognize him.
Although Li Tianlan's martial arts are powerful, his poisonous Gu technique can't be prevented, what if he falls into the trap of that middle-aged woman?
After all, it's not the first time she's done this, those bandit leaders outside Fengzhou are controlled by her with poison, unless they are really warriors who are not afraid of death, once she succeeds, they can only be at her mercy.
And even if she is in the Gu, Li Tianlan will not listen to her, but Tang Ning is worried about this.
Li Tianlan looked at him and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
"I don't worry about you." Tang Ning reined in the reins and said, "You don't know, the woman next to the second prince is very evil, you can't deal with her, what's more, if she is the King of Zhou who is controlled by the Poison Gu technique, how can you save them?" ”
"You still know Gu?" Li Tianlan looked at him in surprise and asked, "I haven't seen you for a year, what else have you learned?" ”
"I know a lot." Tang Ning looked at her and said, "I will have a chance to let you see it again in the future." ”
Li Tianlan tightened the reins of the horse and said, "Set off in an hour." ”
The army has just left Beijing, and if the troops come to the city, those states will already start defense, and it will be difficult to enter the city.
If you want to investigate the rebellion of King Zhou, you have to rush to Cangzhou in advance.
Tang Ning walked to the front of Tang Shui's carriage, knocked on the carriage, lifted the curtain, and said: "Cousin, I have some things, I have to take the first step, I am worried that the princess will have something wrong, you can help me take care of her a little bit these days." ”
Tang Shui looked at him and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"Cangzhou."
"Don't go." Tang Shui looked at him and said, "Before I left, my sister-in-law asked me to take care of you, and I won't let you take risks." ”
Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "Did you come to Chu to tell your mother?" ”
"......" Tang Shui looked away and said, "Tell me." ”
Tang Ning looked incredulous: "You swear by touching your conscience." ”
Tang Shui looked at him and said calmly: "I am your sister, I have the responsibility to discipline you, I am not allowed to go if I say I am not allowed to go." ”
"Don't worry, I'm not going alone." Tang Ning looked at her and said, "I'll take Lao Zheng, Lao Zheng, you know, it's just that there is always a knife in the back, with him, there is nothing to worry about." ”
Tang Ning took a lot of words to understand Tang Shui, although she was only a cousin, or a cousin who was picked up, but he had already regarded her as a real relative, and he could travel thousands of miles to a neighboring country to find him regardless of his safety, and his own sister was nothing more than that.
In addition to Lao Zheng, Tang Ning went over with Li Tianlan this time, and he also planned to bring Wan Yan Yan.
In case of any accident, taking her is also a constraint on the second prince, although the second prince doesn't seem to care about his sister, but among those grassland people, Wan Yanyan still has a lot of right to speak.
After explaining the situation to Yan Yan, she jumped down from the carriage, looked at him and asked, "Why do you want to go first?" ”
Tang Ning said: "The matter is urgent, I will explain it to you on the way." ”
Wan Yan Yan jumped into the carriage again and said, "Wait for me to bring my things." ”
Tang Ning grabbed her wrist and said, "How can you hurry with these, don't worry, I'll let people help you watch these, and when they arrive in Cangzhou, I'll return them to you." ”
Wan Yan Yan glanced back reluctantly and said, "Then you are the talker." ”
Time was urgent, Tang Ning accompanied Zhao Man for a while, and Li Tianlan rode over.
Tang Ning turned over and waved his hand to Zhao Man: "Let's go." ”
"You must be careful...... Zhao Man lifted the curtain, and after looking at Yan Yan and Li Tianlan, he looked at him reluctantly, and said, "I'll wait for you to come back......"
