Chapter 5: The Dark Wind Blows the Rain, and the Black Clouds Turn the Ink (3)

Two days later, Nangong Ming appeared in Jiannan Wangfu as promised.

"The last general will meet the prince." Nangong Ming saluted Xiao Dingfeng.

"General Nangong, please get up!" Xiao Dingfeng picked up Nangong Ming with both hands, "Please use tea, don't hide it from the general, this king has been waiting for General Hou for a long time!" ”

"The last general is afraid, and the prince has been waiting for a long time. I don't know what the prince ordered when he called the last general to come this time? Nangong Ming sat down in the guest seat.

Xiao Dingfeng sighed lightly: "General Nangong, since this king entered Dazhou, he has been keeping to himself for more than 20 years, and has never caused any trouble to the general, what does the general think?" ”

King Jiannan has always been peaceful, but this sentence is extremely serious, Nangong Ming was bluffed and immediately stood up, hugged his fists and said: "The prince has tormented the last general, it is the duty of the last general to protect the safety of the prince and the Jiannan palace, the last general is foolish, if there is any omission, please forgive the prince." ”

"General Nangong doesn't have to be nervous, this king called the general this time because he has something to ask for." As soon as they met, the effect was obvious, and Xiao Dingfeng felt a little calmer. "I wonder if the general has heard that Xiao'er and Miss Anguo have a marriage contract?"

Nangong Ming breathed a sigh of relief, "Back to the prince, it is said that An Guogong was framed when he was still the capital guard of Yingcheng, thanks to the prince's request to His Majesty to thoroughly investigate the person behind the frame, so An Guogong escaped, in order to repay the prince's kindness, An Guogong promised his only daughter Miss Wu to the prince." The prince is benevolent, An Guogong is trustworthy, and this matter is rumored to be a beautiful talk for a while, although the last general does not know the details, he has also heard about it. ”

Xiao Dingfeng nodded, "The general is right. An Guogong is upright, has always been loyal to the country, when the incident happened, I happened to be in Yingcheng face saint, of course, I can't watch the loyal ministers being framed by thieves, Your Majesty is wise, and finally returned Wu Sutai's innocence, so that there is a stable An Guogong on the side of Baoning today, which is really unpredictable. ”

"Although the marriage contract between the two families has already been decided, but because Miss Wu is still young, so the marriage has not been mentioned, but the king received a letter from An Guogong a few days ago, saying that King Yi actually sent someone to the Wu family to propose marriage, An Guogong angrily refused, in order to prevent a long night dream, the letter said that the king should quickly arrange the marriage of the child and the Wu family."

"Doesn't King Yi know that the prince and Miss Wu have a marriage contract?" Nangong Ming was surprised when he heard this.

"Of course he knows. However, this marriage was only a verbal agreement between An Guogong and this king, and there was no contract marriage, if An Guogong was not a trustworthy person, he could naturally not admit that there was such a thing, this king thought, King Yi probably thinks so. Speaking of his nephew who dared to ignore him, Xiao Dingfeng was very uneven.

Nangong Ming listened to Xiao Dingfeng's words, and his heart became much clearer. The first king of Ningguo had three sons, and Xiao Lingba, the king of Yi, had the longest tooth order, but he was not liked by the first king because of his great joy and arrogance, so he passed the throne to the second prince at that time, that is, His Majesty Xiao Lingzhen. Thinking of those obscure rumors recently, Nangong Ming's heart sank, at this time, King Yi proposed to An Guogong, who was holding a heavy army, I am afraid it was not as simple as it seemed.

"An Guogong is really a trustworthy person, and the last general will admire him." From Nangong Ming's point of view, compared with the prince of Jiannan, as the elder brother of His Majesty today, King Yi's identity is obviously more noble, among all the vassal kings, King Yi's domain Liuzhou is the closest to the royal capital Yingcheng, and it is also the richest. An Guogong was able to refuse King Yi without a marriage certificate, remembering the kindness of King Jiannan to him back then, and sticking to the promise of that day, which is indeed touching.

"Miss Wu will turn seventeen next month, and I have decided to set the marriage between Xiao'er and Miss Wu in three months. Xiao Dingfeng changed his words, "General Nangong knows that the Wu family is stationed in Liangzhou, which is nearly a thousand miles away from Dazhou, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, and the road is difficult. ”

Jiannan Wangfu marries the princess, Anguo Gongyuan marries the only daughter, no matter which side it is, it is a major event, not to mention anything else, just say that Jiannan Wangfu wants to pull the dowry burden of Liangzhou Anguo Mansion, not to mention ten miles, but also eight miles, no one dares to say whether there will be thieves who are not long-eyed to be tempted by these gold jewels.

Nangong Ming has made a lot of calculations, and has long been prepared to deal with all kinds of psychological preparations to be co-opted or persecuted, no matter how low-key King Jiannan is on weekdays, he is also the uncle of today's saint, not to mention, who knows if his low-key on weekdays is pretended? But he never expected that King Jiannan called him here for such a thing, so he immediately took off all his defenses, relaxed all his body, and was overjoyed, and promised with a mouth: "The prince commanded, the last general will obey his fate, and I will go back to arrange manpower to ensure that nothing goes wrong on the road, please rest assured." Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the son. ”

Sending Nangong Ming away, Xiao Dingfeng went straight into the inner courtyard, Hu Qingti, the concubine of the king of Jiannan, was chatting with the side concubine Yuan, seeing the harmony of a wife and a concubine, Xiao Dingfeng's inner grievances were reduced a lot. Seeing the prince enter the door, Yuan's heart knew that when he came to find Hu Qingti at this time, there must be something important, so he hurriedly got up and retired.

"You don't have to avoid it, you still need to assist the princess in this matter." Xiao Dingfeng sat down, Hu sat down on his right hand, Yuan stopped when he heard the words, and stood aside, "Ting'er's marriage, I'm afraid it can't be delayed any longer." ”

Hu and Yuan were a little surprised when they suddenly heard Xiao Dingfeng say this, and they glanced at each other.

"What does the prince mean ......" Hu Shi was a little puzzled.

"I will go to the saint on the same day, and at the same time send someone to send a letter to An Guogong quickly, three months later, Ting'er will marry Wu Xiang, you should prepare quickly." Xiao Dingfeng's tone was unquestionable, and it was obviously well thought out.
