Before Shen Leng walked into the main hall of the manor, he couldn't help but guess what kind of expression his face would be on his face now, it was Her Royal Highness the eldest princess who was the pride of the Black Martial Empire, and in the eyes of most of the Black Martial Artists, she was like a god, and she wanted to bow down, but now this proud woman could hold back a fire and want to swallow Shen Leng into it.

And when Shen Leng saw Qin Se, he felt that he might have underestimated the bearing of a princess.

There is a freshly brewed hot tea on the table, and you can tell from the aroma of the tea that it is flower tea from Daning.

The tea drinking habits of people in the north of Daning are very different from those in the south, the understanding of tea culture in Xidong Daohu Jian Dao and even Xishu Road and Dongshu Road is very complicated, and the tea will be carefully divided into many varieties, and in the impression of the people in the north of Daning, there are probably only two kinds of tea, one is jasmine tea, and the other is other tea.

The biggest feature of flower tea is that it tastes bitter and sweet, and people in southern Daning don't like this taste very much.

Although Shen Leng is a native of Jiangnan Province, if the south and the north are divided by the Nanping River, he is also a southerner, but he is quite fond of jasmine tea, especially in love with the snow in Bitan brought to Chang'an City by the old master of the Xishu Dao Ma Gang.

Naturally, it is not easy to buy new tea in this part of the Northeast Frontier, and the old taste of jasmine tea will be heavier.

If the tea has a strong flavor, it may hide some other flavors.

So Shen Leng chose not to drink it.

The last time he came, he drank the black martial arts tea that Qin Se prepared for him without any scruples, that was because he was sure that Qin Se would not be low-level enough to do tricks and feet in the tea, but this time it was different, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess who looked light and breezy had a faint murderous intent in her eyes.

"Don't dare to drink?"

Qin Se squinted his eyes and asked Shen Leng.

Shen Leng nodded: "Don't dare to drink." ”

"Why?"

"Not daring is the reason, and not daring is fear."

Shen Leng sat down: "Your Highness doesn't need to be entangled in a cup of tea, and I don't plan to make a big detour Your Highness is going to see Gongluo Dao before going out?" Want to see what kind of attitude Shrine Road has? ”

Qin Se frowned slightly: "What am I going to do, I need to explain it to you?" ”

"No, I don't."

Shen Leng said seriously: "Your Highness doesn't need to explain anything to me, because what Your Highness wants to do is His Highness's attitude, all I need is His Highness's attitude, and I will understand when I see it." ”

After saying this, Shen Leng got up: "I hope Your Highness won't waste your little opportunity." ”

Qin Se's face was slightly cold: "You came in with all your might, just to say such a sentence to me?" ”

Shen Leng shook his head: "No, I didn't bother to come in, and I don't think I'm trying to save anything, if Your Highness insists on going to see Shrine Luo Dao, can I stop it?" ”

Before Qin Se could speak, Shen Leng replied by himself: "I can stop it." ”

He turned around and walked out: "What I need is a living person, not a corpse, you have wasted my few good feelings for the Black Warriors, let me suddenly remember that hatred is the most important thing in front of me, His Highness sent someone to find Yuelan should want to increase troops to the manor, either capture me or kill me, you have already moved, for the sake of me taking the initiative to express the need for your cooperation, I don't care about this time, next time Your Highness can try, can my Daning's iron horse set foot on your manor." ”

"I'm afraid you're threatening?"

Qin Se also stood up: "The last time I let you walk out of this manor, it was because I had illusions, as you said, that bit of goodwill has disappeared." ”

Shen Leng stopped, and glanced back at Qin Se: "It takes me about three thousand two hundred steps to walk from here to the gate of the manor, I will walk slower, it stands to reason that at most half a stick of incense, I will try to see if I can walk to a stick of incense for so long, I look at Your Highness, how to kill me." ”

Qin's shoulders trembled, and he subconsciously looked at the saber hanging on his side.

And Shen Leng had already walked out of the main hall, he really didn't walk fast, he took a step and stopped, and he didn't seem to take the iron-clad black border army outside seriously at all.

Outside the door of the main hall, Du Weiming and Yang Qibao followed behind Shen Leng, how fast Shen Leng was and how fast the two of them were, not only did Shen Leng not have a trace of fear, but even his two subordinates looked the same confident, it was a kind of contempt.

Long.

Qin Se slowly exhaled a breath, walked outside the door of the main hall and looked at Shen Leng's back and shouted: "You can be the third-grade general of Ning Kingdom, relying on such a gamble?" ”

Shen Leng didn't stop or look back: "My gambling luck has always been good, I can be the general of Daning Zheng Sanpin, and three points depend on luck." ”

Qin Se: "Three points of luck is enough?" ”

Shen Leng paused for a moment, and then continued: "The remaining ninety-seven points depend on strength. ”

The corners of Dewey's mouth rose slightly, and the corners of Yang Qibao's eyebrows raised slightly.

Qin Se was stunned for a while, and then his heart moved slightly because of this sentence, if he said this sentence in the mouth of an ignorant young man, he would probably be laughed at for a while, but Shen Leng said this sentence, it is worth thinking deeply for everyone who hears this sentence.

Qin Se snorted: "You didn't even bring a knife with you." ”

Shen Leng said as he walked: "Your Highness doesn't know me yet, but if you know me, you know that I didn't rely on a knife at the beginning, but a scabbard. ”

Qin Se didn't understand this, and thought Shen Leng was joking.

After leaving the manor, Dewey asked Shen Leng: "General, does this make Qin Se hostile?" ”

"It's the enemy."

Shen Leng got on the horse: "Let her feel that I am begging her, she will pretend to be very good." ”

Three men roared away with two hundred and forty cavalry.

No matter how you look at it, it's a discord.

Halfway through, Yang Qibao couldn't help but ask: "General, if Qin Se completely gives up talking with us because of this incident, is it going to storm Binghu Manor?" ”

"Wait."

Shen Leng replied: "If she doesn't send someone to invite me before it gets dark tomorrow, then be ready to snatch someone back." ”

"What are we going to do now?"

"Go back to sleep."

After Shen Leng said this, he slammed the horse, and the big black horse raised his neck and screamed and accelerated forward.

Gedi City.

Yuelan, the general of the Black Border Army, sat in the study in a daze, and for nearly an hour, he kept asking himself a question in his mind, what is the picture?

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has a life-saving grace for him, and he also swore to repay the eldest princess, when he was framed, someone wanted to squeeze him out of the military and then kill people, it was the eldest princess who spoke in front of the Khan Emperor Wanlie to save his life, and now he has the ability to repay the favor, and has been doing it, but the shrine is coming.

An hour ago, Shrine Luo Dao had just left his General's Mansion, and it could be seen from Shrine Luo Dao's attitude that this time Qingya was going to bring the eldest princess back to the Red City, and the national teacher had always coveted the eldest princess, if in the past it was just to covet the beauty of the eldest princess, then now the meaning of getting the eldest princess has become greater and more complicated.

If the eldest princess falls into the hands of the national teacher, the national teacher will increase the capital to blackmail His Majesty, unless His Majesty completely does not care about the life of the eldest princess, and for the national teacher, as long as he wins the eldest princess, he will be invincible, because Her Majesty the eldest princess compromises, then naturally the national teacher wins, because Her Majesty the eldest princess does not compromise, then the national teacher will understand that His Majesty's bottom line is that losing anyone will not affect His Majesty's persistence.

After determining His Majesty's bottom line, it is time for the national teacher to make a decision.

And for Yuelan, what he needs to face is

Princess Baochang?

Or do you want to go with the flow?

Yuelan's heart was very uncomfortable, and she wanted to chop everything in this room with a knife.

His adviser Suo Suotu can naturally see the general's embarrassment, if the general gives up Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Shrine Luo Dao will naturally no longer be difficult for the general, but what about Your Majesty? His Majesty's wrath will burn the general to ashes.

The general believes in the Sword Gate, and the Sword Gate worships the Moon God, he is a believer in the Sword Gate, and not handing over the eldest princess is for apostasy, and handing over the eldest princess is for treason.

"I heard that Ning Ren went to see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."

Suo Suotu thought for a while and said: "Your Highness should know better than anyone that if she returns to the Red City, she will become a bargaining chip that will shift the scales, and her contact with Ning Ren is enough to show that she can do a lot of things that go against the interests of the black martial arts in order not to go back." ”

Yuelan asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Suo Suotu said: "The subordinate means that what the general has to consider now is not the question of whether to hand over the princess, but the question of distance and proximity, and the general should hand over the princess, because with the general's current strength, he can't compete with the national teacher and the sword gate." ”

"What about in the distance?"

"The empire will be in chaos, and the general has tens of thousands of border troops, but he actually has more bargaining chips than many people to continue playing."

Sosotu said: "Thousands of miles around Gedi City is usable land, and the only thing to worry about is not the people of Ning but the people of Sula City. ”

He glanced at Yuelan: "If the general just wants to be a general, he shouldn't hand over His Royal Highness the princess in the long run, handing over the eldest princess will not only anger Your Majesty, but also make the courtiers and people who are inclined to the royal family resentful, does the national teacher care about the general?" Will the general be protected in the future? In the eyes of the national teacher, the general can hand over the eldest princess, and he will also betray the national teacher if he needs it in the future. ”

Yuelan's eyes were cold.

Suo Suotu pretended not to see it and continued: "If the general doesn't just want to be a general, but the civil strife in the Empire is an opportunity for the general, with heavy troops in his hands, and a granary, and the eldest princess is by the general's side, if His Majesty is killed by the national teacher in the future, the general raises the banner of righteousness to escort the princess back to the Red City, and unites the armies to kill the national teacher, then in the future, it will be one person under ten thousand people." ”

Yuelan's hand trembled unconsciously.

"That's a big gamble."

He looked at Sosotu: "If you lose the bet, you will never recover." ”

Suo Suotu said with a smile: "If Your Majesty orders the general to send troops to the Sword Gate, will the general send troops?" ”

Yuelan shook her head.

Suo Suotu asked again: "If the national teacher orders the general to send troops to the royal family, will the general send troops?" ”

Yuelan thought about it, but still shook her head.

"So the general is actually very aware of the current situation, there is no better choice than sticking to this corner of Gedi City, and having the eldest princess in his hand and not having the eldest princess is a huge difference."

Yuelan nodded: "I understand, thank you Mr. for teaching me." ”

He stood up and paced back and forth in the room: "Strike first? ”

"Nope."

Suo Suotu shook his head: "Only by letting Niche Luo Dao die in the princess manor, the general will not be guilty Ah Niche Luo Dao tried to kill the princess, the general killed Niche Luo Dao, but he can win the heart of His Majesty and the heart of the princess, and then the general can use this as an excuse to write to His Majesty to request more troops in Gedi City, Your Majesty will approve it, it is Your Majesty who can convict the general, and the national teacher cannot be convicted, even if he is the sect master of the Sword Sect, he will not be convicted." ”

Yuelan laughed: "Then I want to increase the troops in the manor, I also want to see what that Ning Ren Shen Leng who dared to approach the princess looked like." ”
