Chapter 169: Zhen Ying's Mission
In the new house, a heavy snoring sound came from behind the curtain, accompanied by a heavy smell of wine emanating from every hole of the curtain. In the dark room, only the copper stove in the corner of the room still emits a scarlet fire, providing only a limited amount of light to the room.
Glancing at Zhou Chen, who was tired and about to get up and fell asleep, Zhen Ying's lips were only pursed together, and there were bright tears flashing in her dark eyes, she moved her body slightly, and glanced sideways at the red on the bed, the two teardrops could no longer be stored, and they fell down violently, sliding down her face, wetting a few strands of green silk on the side of her face, and her nose twitched twice, and as the ups and downs of her chest gradually stabilized, Zhen Ying's heart slowly calmed down.
She was very sleepy, but she didn't feel the slightest sleep, through the light curtain, her eyes looked at the scarlet in the corner, let the tears gush out of her eyes, and randomly slipped down the big red pillow embroidered with mandarin duck embroidery under her head, and formed a pool of tears.
She couldn't stop screaming in her heart, telling herself that this was her choice, no one forced herself, no one forced herself, everything was a choice she made. On the contrary, there was a voice in my head that kept ringing: Zhen Ying! It's not your choice! You shouldn't do that!
The two voices in my heart and in my head couldn't help but bring the tearful Zhen Ying back to more than a month ago...
On that day, the delegation of Silla arrived in Chengdu Mansion with rich "local products", but it was not possible to see the Tang Dynasty Emperor, and even Chen Jingxuan of Jiannan Province only met in a hurry, and then the mission was arranged in the State Guest Inn.
Subsequently, within a few days, it was unexpectedly revealed in the city that the Tang Dynasty Emperor was envoyed by Shannan Province, and the Tang Dynasty Marquis was held hostage by the Marquis of Zhongwu. In this way, the main task of the mission had to continue to be delayed, fortunately, the angry Chen Jingxuan did not embarrass them, although the order was given not to allow the mission to leave Chengdu Mansion for half a step, but in the entire Chengdu Mansion, the mission enjoyed extremely high treatment.
Although Zhen Nengai is burdened with an extremely important mission, he is helpless in the face of the current situation, so he has no choice but to go with the flow and inquire about all the information he needs while staying in Chengdu Mansion safely.
Later, Chengdu Mansion was defeated by a war, and the rebellious Jiannan Daojie Du made Chen Jingxuan abandon the city and flee, and the Tang Dynasty Emperor re-settled in Chengdu Mansion again under the victory of the Fengjia army under the command of Zhongwu Marquis, and the opportunity to make the group face the saint also followed.
Originally, Zhen Nengai was ordered by his eldest brother Zhen Xuan to marry his niece Zhen Ying to the Tang Dynasty, but after many inquiries, Zhen Nengai came to an absolutely reliable and ridiculous-sounding conclusion that the Tang Dynasty Emperor is absolutely not interested in taking a concubine at present. As for the reason, no one dared to chew on the root of today's tongue, but just used a sentence when today's son is determined to expand the territory and create the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, for the children's private affairs, at the moment, there is no time and no mood to talk about it or 'no interest', this is a bit infinitely reverie.
Believe it or not, Zhen Nengai could only give up his original plan, and after some consideration, he aimed the 'spearhead' at another person, that is, the Zhongwu Marquis who is currently in the limelight in the entire Tang Dynasty. According to Zhen Nengai and his advisers and confidants repeatedly discussed and discussed, they unanimously concluded that at present, I am afraid that the real strength of the Marquis of Zhongwu is unique in the current situation of the entire Tang Dynasty.
After considering all this, Zhen Nengai was so excited that he couldn't sleep well that night. His mind was full of hundreds of thousands of elite divisions of the Zhongwu Marquis and the Feng family's army. The combat power and military discipline of the Feng family's army, Zhen Nengai himself has also seen it with his own eyes and has a deep experience, and he can take down the Chengdu Mansion that ordinary people regard as impregnable and unbreakable in just one battle, how much does this strength need to say?
But after some strong overtures, Zhen Nengai found that Zhongwu Hou did not respond at all, not even a little. In desperation, Zhen Nengai could only find his niece Zhen Ying and wanted to discuss with her, so Zhen Nengai personally took Zhen Ying to visit Jiedu Mansion, and then went to propose marriage to Marquis Zhongwu in person. After all, Zhen Nengai is still very confident in his niece's appearance. However, for this kind of brainless thing, how could Zhen Ying agree with her head bored, even if she had some instructions from her father, Zhen Ying still wanted to choose the future man by herself as much as possible.
Although Zhen Ying herself said that she loved heroes, she did not say that the hero she loved was Zhongwuhou, although Zhen Ying also admired it very much after hearing about the deeds of Zhongwuhou, and she also regarded the other party as a hero in her heart. But Zhen Ying is very realistic, he has been accustomed to seeing his father and three uncles since he was a child, and in his eyes, they are all great heroes of the contemporary Silla Kingdom, but the four of them are more sorry than the other, just like the second uncle Zhen Nengwai who took himself to the Tang Dynasty this time, if he met it in the evening when the light was bad, at first glance, he thought it was a blind bear who ran down the mountain and crashed into the city at night.
Although I heard from the maidservants around her and the people inside the mission that the Marquis of Zhongwu was still in his early twenties, and how handsome and chic he was, Zhen Ying herself didn't believe it at all. In her opinion, how could the Tang Empire, with a population of nearly 10,000, have a young man in his early twenties take the turn to occupy such a high position? At the same time, she also contacted the domestic situation, which of those feudal generals is not forty or fifty years old, and which ones are not full of vicissitudes of life, and they are full of wrinkles before they are old? Especially those who have been crowned kings of the opposite sex, they are fifty or sixty years old, and even sixty or seventy years old guys who have problems with their teeth and mouths.
Therefore, Zhen Ying did not agree to take the initiative to greet the door, even if the second uncle carefully described the Zhongwu Marquis he saw with his own eyes, Zhen Ying still did not agree to live or die, insisting that the second uncle was trying to bluff himself to guess the nonsense. What worries me even more is that if I go to Jiedu Mansion and be caught by the 'old guy' of Zhongwu Hou, I am afraid that I will not even think of the gate of Jiedu Mansion. With wishful thinking, Zhen Ying never agreed to Zhen Neng's request.
In this regard, Zhen Nengai is also powerless. Originally, the Zhen family was such a precious daughter right now, and it was usually too late to hurt! And this time, it was also for the interests of the entire Zhen family that I had to come up with such a special 'method' to take advantage of the opportunity to congratulate the Tang Dynasty to find a strong backup.
