Chapter 116: The Puzzle
The vigorous performance finally came to an end, and the originally lonely and decadent Nanshan camp erupted into an unimaginably fiery atmosphere.
It's just that the Nanshan camp has faded out of people's sight for too long, so it hasn't attracted much attention. But the Nanshan camp has indeed come to life.
Tang Ning's personal soldiers were also replenished to more than 100 at once, all of whom were soldiers who performed well in the martial arts, and there were hundreds of soldiers and soldiers, but they were all clever and capable.
Tang Ning took them out of the Nanshan camp and returned to the city, and more than 100 horsemen gathered behind Tang Ning and roared along the official road. Tang Ning was very satisfied, this is the momentum that a second-grade military general in the imperial court should have.
What Tang Ning didn't know was that there were eyes watching him in the shadows all the time. This was arranged by Miss Miaomiao, who wanted to find out the pattern of Tang Ning's return to Beijing from the camp.
It is not easy to ambush Tangning, you need to set up an ambush in advance, because after all, this is a Gyeonggi stronghold, and it is impossible to wait there all the time.
And the most important thing is how to get Tang Ning away unknowingly after capturing him alive, this needs to be carefully arranged, and Tang Ning's itinerary must be predicted in advance.
So Miaomiao arranged for someone to try to find the law of Tangning's entry and exit from the camp, this was the first time that someone stalked about Tangning, and as a result, he saw more than 100 horses galloping by.
The person who arranged to keep an eye on was a merchant, carrying goods every day on the way to Tangning's entry into the city. Today finally made him wait, but the smoke and dust raised in the sky blinded his eyes, and my heart was full of grass at that time.
It's not because he was squinted by the smoke and dust, but because Tang Ning was surrounded by more than 100 horsemen, didn't it mean that Tang Ning only had a dozen personal soldiers?
Why are there more than 100 riders all of a sudden? What the hell is going on? Could it be that the news has leaked out, so that Tang Ning has a guard?
Tang Ning roared past with his own soldiers, and after entering the city in a mighty way, the news about him soon reached Miaomiao's ears.
When I first heard the news, Miao Miao couldn't help but be confused, why did Tang Ning suddenly have a hundred more soldiers? Has the news leaked out? It's impossible!
No matter what, Miaomiao's heart sank, because she knew what it meant to have more than a hundred soldiers. This means that it is much more difficult to capture Downing alive.
Originally, Tang Ning was just a seventh-grade master, and it was not difficult to capture him alive, and it was not difficult for the dozen or so pro-soldiers to clean up.
But with more than 100 personal soldiers, it was different, because if they were not afraid of death, they could fight with their lives to escort Tang Ning to escape.
It is conceivable that these pro-soldiers must be the elite soldiers carefully selected by Tang Ning from the Nanshan camp, and more than 20,000 soldiers can be sent to select more than 100 people?
Tang Ning didn't know that he was already being remembered, and he didn't know that he had brought resentment to some people because he suddenly added pro-soldiers
Tang Ning just felt that he was very majestic with more than 100 personal soldiers, which was in line with the demeanor of a second-grade general. So along the way, Tang Ning felt that Sun Hu's suggestion was very reliable.
Tang Ning returned to the city this time because he accidentally learned from Sun Hu that the Qianqiu Festival was coming, and the Qianqiu Festival was the emperor's birthday, which was a very important festival.
The emperor's birthday party invited civil and military nobles, imperial relatives and relatives, and the whole country to celebrate. When Tang Ning first heard it, he didn't pay much attention to it, it was nothing more than eating and drinking, which was not stressful.
But when he heard that he was going to give a gift to the emperor, Tang Ning was immediately stunned, and he even wanted to give a gift to the emperor?!
Seeing Lord Dusi's stunned face, Sun Hu was really stunned, could it be that Lord Cheng Si didn't know at all?
Tang Ning really didn't know, after all, it was the first time he was an official, and he was a second-class official. When people become officials, they all start from small officials, and when they are qualified to participate in the Qianqiu Banquet, they have already been mixed up in the officialdom for many years, and everyone who should know knows it.
But Tang Ning is not like this, so Tang Ning was stunned all of a sudden. Sun Hu was a little anxious, after all, the emperor's whole year Qianqiu banquet was not a trivial matter, but all the officials who were qualified to participate in the Qianqiu banquet attached great importance to it, and everyone had already started to prepare.
So Tang Ning just returned to the city, and he wanted to discuss with Qingbo what congratulatory gifts the emperor's Qianqiu banquet should prepare.
It was only a month before the emperor's Qianqiu banquet, and it was impossible to prepare any rare treasures, and besides, he had no money.
"Qingbo, the emperor's Qianqiu Festival is coming, what congratulatory gifts should I prepare?" Tang Ning asked with some apprehension.
He really didn't have any ideas for thinking about it all the way, Curry did have good things, the problem was that it was good things for him, but it was just ordinary for the emperor. Moreover, it was all rewarded by the emperor, and it was impossible to give it to the emperor as a congratulatory gift.
The generals of the Xiao Cavalry Guard have also given gifts, but their grades are not high, and the gifts they give are not expensive things.
Qing Bo smiled and said, "What's so embarrassing about this!" It's very simple, what kind of treasures can the young master give away from the countryside, and the emperor knows it, besides, the emperor is rich all over the world, what treasures are nothing? Therefore, in my opinion, the young master might as well write a piece of calligraphy as a courtesy. ”
That's too hasty, isn't it? Tang Ning is not a calligrapher, and he can't handle that handwriting at all.
Unless he wins with poetry, but he doesn't plan to write a poem to celebrate his birthday, he doesn't want to expose it, and it will be troublesome if the emperor asks him to make a poem on the spot. Second, he has never memorized any birthday poems.
The writing is not good, and there is no literary style, how to write? What to write? Could it be that Wen has become a martial artist, and he has dominated the rivers and lakes for thousands of years? It's too sloppy!
Tang Ning's head shook like a rattle, and he said continuously: "No, no, this is too hasty!" ”
Qingbo smiled: "Actually, there is nothing sloppy, for civil officials from poor families, congratulating the emperor on his birthday is just a matter of writing a word and painting a picture." ”
"The emperor is rich all over the world, and he won't care, even if he is sincere, he can get his heart."
"The emperor also knows that the young master is from a poor background, if the young master gives some rare treasures, it will be a failure, it is better to send some kind."
These words woke up Tang Ning, and what Qing Bo said did make sense. However, it is really inappropriate to send it in writing.
How can we have a heart? The first thing Tang Ning thought of was barbecue, because the emperor liked to eat his barbecue, but Tang Ning immediately vetoed it.
Always refuse to be able to roast a fragrant roast suckling pig and send it up, what kind of system is this? Tang Ning put this thought behind him, the emperor was quite fond of hunting.
But what a famous bow BMW, even if he has it, he can't afford it. Tang Ning kept thinking that it would be best if he could do something by himself. Thinking about it, Tang Ning's eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to have an idea.
