Chapter 406: Grim Face
The second prince lost because he was too confident in the middle-aged woman's Gu technique, before Tang Ning left, Su Mei told him a thousand times, asking him to remember that there are people outside the world, and under no circumstances can he underestimate others, and it is important to save his own life.
The second prince obviously did not have this awareness, perhaps he was born and grew up in the grassland, so he did not regard the Han people of Chen and Chu as people, but he did not know that in the eyes of the Cangzhou guard, he was simply a mortal person.
This shows how important it is for ------ to have a reliable sister.
The dense arrows coated with fire oil shot him into a hedgehog in an instant, and he didn't even have a chance to jump into the river to escape.
Of course, even if you dodge the rain of arrows and jump into the river, you will not escape death after all, the difference is only to be shot or drowned.
Wan Yan Yan seemed to be pulled out of her soul, her eyes were not focused, and she looked straight ahead.
Tonight, none of the subordinates around the second prince remained, and the last dozen or so people on the grassland died in front of her, according to the general Fan, at the last moment, she was abandoned by the second prince.
Although it is not the first time she has been abandoned, this time is clearly different.
A person's emotions can't be in a collapse for a long time, and Tang Ning walked around behind her and slashed her with a knife.
The general named Xu Ling hurried over, and after listening to the report, he said in a deep voice: "Search the whole city immediately, and you must find that woman!" β
The guards and officers and soldiers of Cangzhou were all holding back the fire in their hearts, and they didn't want to let even one of them go.
An adjutant general said, "General Xu, that woman should have escaped from the water." β
"Then search along the coast!" Xu Ling looked at him and frowned, "There are so many of you, you can actually let a woman run away?" β
Sometimes it's useless to have a lot of people, a while ago there was a guard who was cut off in the big tent, and there is no result yet, this black light is blinding, there is a river ahead, even Tang Ning has a little chance of escaping.
The corpses of the second prince and others were placed on the riverbank, which can be regarded as a perfect end to tonight's operation.
Although the situation in Cangzhou has eased, including the king of Zhou, the generals who defend the city still need to give an explanation to the imperial court.
Even if they are all formal, they are not without fault.
These are not the things that Downing cares about.
Li Tianlan still had to stay to finish, and he took Wan Yan Yan and Lao Zheng back first.
Wan Yan Yan locked herself in the room and didn't come out for two whole days, Tang Ning was worried that she wouldn't be able to open it at first, but she found that she ate the food sent in, so she went.
On the morning of the second day when the grassland and others were ambushed, a notice had already been posted in Cangzhou City, of course, in order to save some face for King Zhou and others, the content of the notice was artistically processed.
For example, King Zhou and others fell for those grassland demons and demon laws, and their minds were confused, but fortunately, Her Royal Highness the princess arrived in time and lifted the demon law for them in time, killed those grassland demons, and returned Cangzhou to peace.
This explanation sounds a bit fantastical, but it is enough to deal with the people, after all, for them, the most important thing is stability, no matter whether the grassland barbarians are demons or shemales, as long as Cangzhou is free from war, the people are not disturbed.
There was also news from the rear that the army of the imperial court would arrive in one day, and although there was nothing to do with them now, they still had to go this way.
This also means that Zhao Man, Tang Shui and Chen Guo's mission will also arrive, the crisis in Cangzhou and other five states will be lifted, and the road back will be a smooth road.
Li Tianlan has been dealing with the affairs of Cangzhou for the past two days, King Zhou once invited Tang Ning to live in the palace, but thinking that there were no more dead souls in that place, Tang Ning still refused, just changed to a better inn, at least he could live in a room alone, and he didn't have to endure Lao Zheng's snoring at night.
Xiao Er of the inn knocked on the door and said, "Guest officer, you want a meal." β
Tang Ning left one for Lao Zheng, picked up the rest, and pushed open Yan Yan's door.
In the room, Wan Yan Yan sat at the table, describing it as withered, and in two days, it seemed that the whole person had lost weight.
Two days ago, her world was still beautiful, even if there was some gloom, but she was naturally optimistic and simple, and these gloom did not affect her much.
Now, the beautiful world before has been completely torn apart by reality, and the cruelty is enough to completely collapse the worldview she has built up for more than ten years.
Tang Ning put the food on the table, and when he turned around, a hoarse voice came from behind him.
"Ulu has a beautiful fiancΓ©e, they were going to get married this year, he bought a hairpin in Fengzhou, and wanted to give it to her when he returned to the grassland......"
"Zoya is only six years old, she is very well-behaved and obedient, she sits on the grass knoll every day and waits for her father, her father is a warrior on the grassland, Ahuli......"
"Uyan, Pangu, they're all young, they're all dead, they didn't have to die......"
β¦β¦
"Zoya is still waiting for Uru to come back and marry her, and Buxi waits for her father to come back on the grass every day." Wan Yan Yan looked at him and said, "Because of the second brother, they are all dead, Zoya can't be the bride of Ulu anymore, and Buxi can't wait for Ah Huli......"
Tang Ning shook his head and said, "The soldiers in Cangzhou have died more, and they also have parents, wives and children, and they are even more innocent. β
Wan Yanyan raised her head and asked, "Is this war?" β
Tangning nodded.
Wan Yan Yan was silent for a while before she stood up, looked directly at Tang Ning, and said, "Han people and grasslands, it shouldn't be like this, I know what to do." β
At this moment, Wan Yan Yan was unprecedentedly serious, and Tang Ning vaguely felt that something had sprouted from her body.
She looked at Downing and asked, "Can I bring their ashes back to the grassland?" β
This request was not excessive, Tang Ning nodded and said, "Yes." β
There were too many dead grassland people, and the corpses had all been burned, regardless of each other, Wan Yanyan brought a jar of ashes, and picked out a hairpin from those relics, and said: "This is Ulu's thing, I will give it to Zoya for her." β
She also picked out a few things from them and organized them in a baggage.
When she came out of the room again, it was very different from what she had been before.
Her hair was coiled down, braided back into pigtails, and she wore no jewelry.
The clothes she was wearing that originally belonged to Zhao Man were also made of some kind of animal fur, exactly the same as when Tang Ning first saw her.
Her original set of clothes was burned by Tang Ning, this set was found by her from King Zhou's mansion, it was obviously a man's clothes, and she was wearing it a little nondescriptly.
She carried a scimitar at her waist, raised her head, handed her favorite whip to Tang Ning, and said, "This whip, give it to Zhao Man." β
