Chapter 23: Showing Wisdom and Tempting the Depths
The next time was to recuperate in bed, Tang Ning asked Tang Qing what was going on at that time, but Tang Qing kept saying that she didn't know.
Tang Ning wanted to ask Li Zhan, but Li Zhan was not in the mansion, and he would come over a few days to hear the news of his marriage. The woman was a princess. Regarding Li Zhan's private affairs, Tang Ning didn't have much interest, but felt that Li Zhan's popularity as a woman was too good. Just killed a princess Rongdi, and another princess of Nanming came.
"Sister......" Tang Qing looked at the calm Tang Ning, his mouth moved, and he stopped talking a little.
"Qing'er doesn't have to worry about her sister, her sister knows it." Stopped the pen in his hand and stroked Tang Qing's hair, his voice was a little ethereal.
If you get the golden dragon, everything will be solved. Although Li Zhan promised to help her, Tang Ning knew that everything was just an expedient move, and she had to have her own people.
Blowing the secret letter written in cipher, Tang Ning sighed softly. When deciding to implement the plan in her mind, she wants to find out that those are her own.
Tang Ningning's days of recuperation did not last long, and soon, Li Zhan returned home, and she began her routine duty. However, she and Li Zhan didn't get along very well, because Li Zhan always wanted to find fault with her.
"If you have any grievances, you can say, why bother to make me amuse." Tang Ning threw the fold that Li Zhan asked her to tidy up on the desk, and her tone was very bad.
"What do you think about this?" Looking at the fold that fell in front of him, Li Zhan flipped it casually, his tone was very indifferent, and there was no sign of anger.
"What do you think?" Li Zhan's attitude made Tang Ning very ambiguous.
"Isn't it because of this incident that you've been in frequent contact with the outside world lately?" Li Zhan said with an expression that you can't hide from me what you do.
Thinking of the few excerpts that Li Zhan asked him to sort out, they were all about congratulating King Li and Princess Nanming on their marriage.
Could it be that Li Zhan thought that his contact with the outside world was stimulated by this incident?
"The prince is too arrogant. With the temper of the prince, he should not be so conceited. ”
Tang Ning spoke very truthfully, because she really didn't know how a person like Li Zhan could be liked.
At least, she didn't like it.
"Then why do so many princesses want to marry me?"
"Because you're the king!"
"What about you? Downing, don't you ......?"
"There is a contract between us, have you forgotten?"
"What about Ouyang Xun?"
"A tyrant who likes to threaten people and do things he doesn't like, a person who can save lives at a critical time is obviously much more cute."
"Whoever saved you, you're going to like it?"
"If it's the prince, that's a different story. When we find the golden dragon, we will break up, at least the others...... Naturally...... The two do not owe each other......"
"Tang Ning, you really think so!"
"What does the prince want me to think?"
When Tang Ning found that exposing his wayward side could make Li Zhan more relaxed, he no longer suppressed himself.
Anyway, she hates this man, so why not show her hate more thoroughly.
Not overly disguised, she's also relaxed.
After returning from the palace, Li Zhan seemed to be a lot busier, Tang Ning except for occasional quarrels with Li Zhan, most of the time secretly managed his own forces, although the Northern Qi Emperor did not clearly express his support for the eldest prince Li Jing, but his ambiguous attitude was very unfavorable to Li Zhan.
Soon, the Northern Qi Emperor had a new move, and after a holy decree entered the palace of King Li, Li Zhan's face was very bad.
Prince and Princess Rong Di were buried in Northern Qi, and Rong Di's army was overwhelmed, and he was about to ask for an explanation from Northern Qi. Li Zhan, as the protagonist of this incident, mastered the Northwest Army and was ordered by the Northern Qi Emperor to return to the northwest immediately.
The Northern Qi grassland made its fortune, and the army in the northwest was the base camp of the Northern Qi Dynasty. This army has always attached only importance to ability, and whoever is the strongest is its general. With his own ability, Li Zhan became famous in the army at the age of eighteen, so that the men in the northwest would only look ahead.
The Northwest Army did not participate in state affairs, but only guarded the frontier, and for many years was under the control of a king with a different surname. This time, Li Zhan won the prize, and the Northern Qi Emperor made him the general of the Northwest.
However, when the court was about to come back this time, Li Zhan was really unwilling.
If he personally sits in the national capital, he can naturally win more power.
However, now Li Zhan is not thinking about the problem of the Northwest Army, let alone the thoughts of the Northern Qi Emperor, but Tang Ning.
Ouyang Xun's enthusiasm for Tang Ning was completely unexpected by Li Zhan, how could that man want to take the opportunity to abduct Tang Ning, this was not allowed by him!
If Ouyang Xun was not Li Zhan's collaborator and friend, Li Zhan would have killed him a long time ago. Even though Ouyang Xun was Li Zhan's accomplice, Li Zhan didn't give him any good looks.
Male animals have a strong desire to possess things that belong to them, and Tang Ning is different from Ouyang Xun, and he feels very uncomfortable in his heart. Although he was holding the Northwest Military Newspaper, the rest of his eyes were always looking at Tang Ning.
When Li Zhan saw that Tang Ning's face was getting paler and paler, the worry in his heart slowly outweighed anger.
"I'm lying on the bed when I'm not feeling well, why are I still sitting here?"
Li Zhan seemed to have forgotten that it was he who forced Tang Ning to come to his study, and when he saw that Tang Ning was uncomfortable, he easily conveyed some internal force to the past.
Although Tang Ning didn't like Li Zhan's touch, he had to thank him for his help at this time, and after his heart was hot, the discomfort in his stomach was reduced a lot. This warm current slowly flowed through her physical strength, making Tang Ning instantly sleepy, and she really fell asleep.
Li Zhan held the sleeping Tang Ning in his arms, and the sleeping woman was much more docile than at other times, with long eyelashes, a small nose, and red lips...... There is a pure air all over the body.
Is this true for you?
Li Zhan looked at Tang Ning, who was asleep, and pinched the pouting mouth with his hand, and a trace of satisfaction overflowed in his heart.
Between Li Zhan and Tang Ning, there seems to be something different.
"Lord Wang!" When the housekeeper Li Yan saw Li Zhan coming out of the study, the corners of his mouth twitched for a moment.
Is this person who exudes tenderness all over his body really their prince?
"Do what you planned." Li Zhan threw down six words and went to his inner room with Tang Ning in his arms, leaving the group messy behind him.
Sure enough, King Li is still King Li, and he will always treat his subordinates like majesty and coldness.
Tang Qing stood in the corner, watching his sister being hugged by Li Zhan, a cheerful smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and he jumped away. The peach blossoms are gorgeous, reflecting Tang Qing's face, and there is a strange feeling.
When he woke up from Li Zhan's bed, Tang Ning was inexplicably annoyed when he saw himself being changed into a nightgown. , So, when Tang Ning saw Li Zhan, she couldn't help but throw two dozen silver needles.
However, this was not what made Tang Ning the most depressed, when the housekeeper heard that she needed to go to the northwest with Li Zhan, Tang Ning immediately changed his face.
She's just a side concubine, just a concubine, how can a concubine follow the general to the battlefield?!
What, Li Zhan asked her to protect him, Nima, she longed for Li Zhan to die early!!
If you are angry in your heart, your actions will inevitably be rude.
But when Tang Ning kicked open the door of Li Zhan's study, the eyes of the soldiers in the room were all wide-eyed, and they didn't believe that the sick and weak person in front of them was so much worse than when they first met!
The most surprising thing was not Tang Ning's heroic spirit, but that she actually kicked Li Zhan's door, and Li Zhan looked at her, there was no murderous aura in his eyes!
The soldiers around Li Zhan all took a breath in such a situation, and couldn't help but retreat.
Li Zhan's temper has been heard of by people in Northern Qi and even the world, if he loses his temper, he will not buy anyone's accounts, and he will be ruthless and violent.
However, Li Zhan's reaction at this time was beyond their expectations, he was not angry now, and it seemed that he was not expecting Tang Ning's appearance.
"Li Zhan, I'm not going to the northwest." Seeing that Li Zhan didn't react, Tang Ning repeated Fang Cai's words again. If he hadn't minded so many people now, Tang Ning would have put the silver needle on his neck a long time ago.
"You and I are newlyweds Yan'er, if we go to the northwest like this, I don't know how many years we can return, you are by the king's side, it is the most suitable." When Li Zhan spoke, his tone was very flat, as if he was saying, "I want to eat green vegetables today, let's eat green vegetables at noon." ”
"The prince is not in the mansion, and the concubine is just guarding the house for you." Tang Ning spoke a little bit at this time. She had just contacted the secret guards of the Tang Sect not long ago, and wanted to do something by herself, if she followed Li Zhan to the northwest, wouldn't everything be in vain.
"This king's general's mansion in the northwest is no worse than this. And ......" Li Zhan looked at Tang Ning and said with some meaning, "There is a border with Rong Di over there, and the business work is still more profitable over there." ”
Li Zhan seemed to say that he was unintentional, but Tang Ning listened with intention.
Tang Ning wanted to test Li Zhan, but found that this person was too deep, and he had the illusion that he controlled everything in his hands.
"Sister Qing'er is still young, and the concubine can't rest assured that she can't be relieved. The concubine has a deep relationship with her, and she really can't bear it...... "Tang Ning's excuse is a bit far-fetched.
"Tang Qing has been away for a long time, and your father has already sent someone to take her back. This one...... Aifei rest assured. ”
“!” Nima, is there anything else Li Zhan doesn't know? Tang Ning can only be glad that he didn't act rashly now. Seemingly...... To do something unexpected, you have to ...... Seize the moment.
"This is the situation of the Northwest Army, Concubine Ai can take a look if she is fine." Li Zhan said, throwing a booklet to Tang Ning.
Li Zhan's subordinates looked at Li Zhan with incredible eyes, and the booklet ...... It should be a military secret, how can it be ...... How can it be shown to outsiders.
"This will be the world-famous Northwest Army, just by looking at the layout map, you will find a lot of problems." Tang Ning flipped through the booklet, and spoke in a very unkind tone.
"Oh, where is the problem, this king would like to hear about it." Li Zhan listened to Tang Ning's words, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes. If it weren't for the mark on Tang Ning's body, Li Zhan would really feel that the person in front of him was not the person he investigated.
"Ruobi's army is stationed in this place......" Tang Ning casually pointed to a place on the map, and the people in the room were shocked.
That place...... It is consistent with the plan proposed by Li Zhan back then.
But......
"Reason." Li Zhan's tone was very flat at this time, but it was not the case in his heart.
"If the army is stationed in this place, with its back against the high mountains, it is a natural barrier against surprise attacks, and besides, there is water in this place, and there is a place for farming near it, which can provide food for the army, and even if the court is short of food for a while, the army can be self-sufficient, and most importantly...... If the army is stationed in this place...... Northern Qi did not have to be attacked by Rong Di. ”
Tang Ning's fingers circled and painted, and at once outlined the geographical advantages of Rong Di and Northern Qi, which surprised the soldiers in the room, if this person was an enemy...... It's just ...... Rival!
