Out of Fengzhou, to Chu State, this ten miles of forest is the only way, Tang Ning thought that someone might not be able to help but do it here, so he arranged for Zhao Man to change the tent in advance, and also made some deployments with Lu Teng.

The 3,000 defenders of Fengzhou had already entered the Shili Forest in batches last night, and had been hanging behind them since the mission entered the forest.

Eight hundred guards and three thousand defenders, even if all the bandits and bandits in the forest are united, they can deal with it, and tonight's situation is not beyond his expectations.

The only thing that surprised him was that he could actually meet the grassland woman named Wan Yan here.

Although she covered her face, she had been her Chinese teacher for an hour, and she was no longer familiar with her unique accent and intonation.

If you think about it, it's not surprising that if their goal was to be a princess from the beginning, then it would naturally follow them all the way, and it would not be surprising that they could meet her along the way.

It's just that I don't know if the first few encounters were a coincidence, or if she did it on purpose......

"We lost tonight." A figure walked out from behind Wan Yan, looked at Tang Ning, and said, "How about we make a deal?" ”

Listening to the voice is also a woman, and in this case, the voice is still calm.

"Don't."

Tang Ning shook his head, the current situation is very good for them, what is there to make a deal.

As long as he waved his hand, the archers could shoot all these assassins into a sieve, so that the assassins would correct the law on the spot, and He Rui would sacrifice his life for the country, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

The middle-aged woman said in a deep voice: "Even if you kill us, you won't be able to save the life of your big official!" ”

Tang Ning said categorically: "Lord He is not threatened by you, how can I be coerced by you?" ”

"I bear it!" He Rui roared, only to realize that it was not good to say this, and immediately said, "Lord Tang might as well listen to their conditions first and see what they say!" ”

The middle-aged woman waited for this sentence, and immediately said, "You let them go, and I let this person go, how about it?" ”

"One person for a dozen?" Tang Ning crossed his arms, looked at the middle-aged woman, and asked, "Do you think I don't know how to count?" ”

The middle-aged woman stretched out her hand and pointed to the soldiers around the big tent and said, "There are also those who are poisoned, there is no antidote, and within two hours, they will definitely die!" ”

Imperial Doctor Wang stepped forward and said, "My lord, the soldiers are weak all over, it should be caused by inhaling the poisonous smoke just now, as for the specific poison they have in, the lower officials have not found out......"

Tang Ning stepped forward to take a look, there are so many strange poisons in the world, although he also knows some poison techniques, but after all, the time to study is too short, and the level of poisoning is far greater than detoxification, and he can't see the path of this poison clearly for a while.

At this time, Lu Teng had already returned from the rear and said, "Lord Tang, the two thousand bandits in the forest have not resisted anything, and they have all been captured. ”

Twice as many regular troops were used to flank some rabble in front and rear, and the other side had no will to fight, and the battle ended quickly.

Tang Ning looked at the dozens of soldiers lying on the ground, although he could order them to be shot immediately, but these poisoned soldiers would be in danger.

In case they can't get rid of the poison, these dozens of people will have to bury the assassins.

Lu Teng rarely didn't speak, although he also wanted to protect his soldiers, but this group of assassins was more important, if he compromised with them, there might be trouble later.

Only Tang Ning can make a decision on this matter, even if it is a decision he makes to exchange his life for his life.

For Tang Ning, his own life is naturally much more important than the enemy, he looked at the middle-aged woman hidden under the black robe, and said, "Take out the antidote first." ”

He Rui, who was held to his neck with a knife, breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that no matter how Tang Ning targeted him, he had to care about the life of his deputy envoy.

The woman looked at Tang Ning and said, "You release people first." ”

Tang Ning looked at Lu Teng and said, "Commander Lu, let them go." ”

Lu Teng breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand: "Release people." ”

Dozens of archers put away their arrows, and more than a dozen masked men walked quickly behind the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman took out a paper bag from her arms, threw it in the air, and said, "This bag can cure half of the people's poison, and after an hour, I will tell you where the other half is." ”

"How do I know if this antidote is useful, in case it's just your delaying tactic?" Tang Ning looked at her and said, "What if after detoxification, what if the poison is released in two days?" ”

The middle-aged woman looked at him and asked, "Then what do you want?" ”

"It's simple." Tang Ning looked at her and said, "I can let you go, but you have to leave a hostage here, and in a month, when you arrive in the capital of Chu State, if my people are safe and sound, I will let him go." ”

This not only ensures that she will not fool herself with fake medicine, but also prevents them from doing things on the road.

"What if you regret it?" The middle-aged woman looked at him and said categorically, "I don't believe you." ”

"In exchange, we can also let you take a hostage." Tang Ning pointed at He Rui and said, "What you are holding in your hands now is our deputy envoy, a very big official, if you take him away, I won't even care about his life, right?" ”

He Rui's legs were weak, and he said loudly: "This can't work, I don't agree, I don't agree!" ”

The young woman slashed at the back of his neck, and He Rui went limp, unable to shout anymore.

The middle-aged woman turned around and muttered a few words, and soon one of them stood up and said in a not-so-labeled Chinese dialect: "I should be, hostage!" ”

Tang Ning shook his head, pointed to the young woman at the front, and said, "I want her." ”

In this group of people, although this middle-aged woman is the leader, the most noble is obviously this woman named Wan Yan.

They appeared here tonight, and Tang Ning could even guess that Wan Yan should just be her pseudonym, her Han name, what should be Wanyan......

The last thing I want Chen Chu to marry is the rapidly rising Wanyan tribe on the grassland.

"No way!" The middle-aged woman refused without even thinking about it.

"Since you said no......" Tang Ning looked at her and said with a smile, "Then it has to be her." ”

The middle-aged woman's tone was firm: "It's impossible for her to be a hostage to you." ”

Tang Ning shook his head: "Then there is no need to talk about it." ”

Lu Teng waved his hand, dozens of archers opened their bows and aimed again, and more than a dozen black-clothed people were like facing a great enemy.

"Master." The young woman looked back at her and said, "Let me go, or they won't let you go, and we have a plan to do." ”

The middle-aged woman pondered for a moment, looked at her, and said, "You have to be careful. ”

After she finished speaking, her eyes looked at Tang Ning again and said, "If you dare to touch a single hair of her, I will cut off one of your deputies' arms!" ”

Tang Ning looked at her and said, "Don't worry, if anything happens to her, our deputy envoy will be at your disposal!" ”

The middle-aged woman took out another packet of medicine from her arms, threw it over again, and said, "These two packets of medicine are mixed together, boiled into a pot with water, and fed to them to drink to detoxify." ”

Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "What if you cook it separately?" ”

The middle-aged woman did not answer.

Tang Ning secretly cursed in his heart, he also knew a little about poison, how could he not know the doorway, mixed together is the antidote, and cooking separately may be the other two poisons.

If he doesn't keep an eye on it, I'm afraid that these soldiers will be killed by a vicious woman.

He pointed to the young woman and said, "You, come here!" ”

The woman walked up to him, tore the veil off her face, and stared at Tang Ning with a pair of eyes, as if she was going to swallow him alive.

She looked at Tang Ning, gritted her teeth and said, "You are as cunning as them!" ”

Tang Ning waved his hand: "Tie her up." ”

When she was tied up, she looked very resistant, looked at Tang Ning, and said, "Can you let them go now?" ”

Downing waved his hand, and the archers stepped back away.

Tang Ning looked at the middle-aged woman and said, "You can go, don't forget your hostages, a month later, when you arrive at the capital of Chu State, you will release each person." ”

"If anything goes wrong with her, you can wait for your lieutenant to collect the body." The middle-aged woman took a deep look at the tied up woman and turned to leave.

The two men in black kicked He Rui, who had fainted to the ground, before carrying him away.

Lu Teng looked at Tang Ning and asked, "Lord He, ...... he?"

"For the safety of the soldiers, I can only grieve Lord He first." Tang Ning sighed and said, "I believe that Lord He can also understand our approach......" https://./13_13482/
