Chapter 264: Her Grain and Grass Were Robbed
Tuoba Yanling hid in the dense forest outside the city and sent a signal to Beimeng.
Soon after, the personal guards of the Emperor of Beimeng came to the front and asked her what she had to say.
Tuoba Yanling told him the route that Ning Shangmo and the others were going to take, and asked him to remember not to make a mistake.
After returning home, let the Borg send people to intercept them at all costs, so that Beimeng can capture a large amount of grain and grass and military salaries, which is a large supply.
What's more critical is that Ning Shangmo can be captured alive, and when the time comes, Ming Qingyan and others can be forced to agree to the Daling army to withdraw from the border city in exchange. In this way, it can be described as killing three birds with one stone.
Emperor Beimeng's personal guards were very happy to hear the news, Princess Tuoba had been lurking in Daling Border City for so long, and finally got useful information.
So, he didn't care about saying anything, so he ran back to the Beimeng military camp and told the Beimeng emperor the good news.
After hearing this, Emperor Beimeng was naturally very happy, and immediately handed over the matter to Borg to do.
Borg naturally didn't dare to slack off, he immediately set off with a well-organized team and ambushed Ning Shangmo on their only way.
When the sun was about to set, the grain and grass brigade led by Ning Shangmo and others finally appeared.
Borg couldn't help but be excited and nervous, and lowered his voice and ordered: "Everyone pay attention to concealment, watch my gestures before acting." ””
When Ning Shangmo and the others entered the ambush circle of the Northern Mongolian Army, he waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Brothers, rush and catch alive." ”
The Northern Mongolian army was like a hungry wolf, jumping out of the bushes, shouting and killing the sky.
Ning Shangmo and the others were stunned, they didn't expect that someone would ambush here, and many soldiers were captured before they could react.
Ning Shangmo only heard the shouts of killing all over the mountains, and he didn't know how many of them there were, so he hurriedly organized a battle, but he was soon captured because he was outnumbered.
When she saw that it was Borg who led a small detachment of no more than a few hundred people to capture them all, she couldn't help but sigh: "I was too careless, I should have known that Tuoba Yanling would not let me go to the border city safely." ”
Hearing this, Borg bowed his hand to her, his face was embarrassed, and he greeted her politely and respectfully: "Mrs. Prime Minister, I'm sorry, I have wronged you." ”
Ning Shangmo naturally did not lose his demeanor, nodded and smiled: "It's okay, each for its own master." ”
Borg smiled at her gratefully: "Thank you for your understanding." Our emperor also invited you to the barracks as a guest, and I hope you will not refuse. ”
After saying that, he bowed to her again and apologized, saying that everything was not his attention, and he was powerless.
Ning Shangmo smiled understandingly, and nodded very happily in agreement: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
Borg nodded gratefully at her, and then raised his voice and ordered: "Withhold the grain and grass, release the prisoners, and let them go." ”
Huayuan and Hua Lanyao naturally wouldn't leave, they asked to follow Ning Shangmo to the Beimeng military camp, but Borg did not refuse.
Back at the Northern Mongolian military camp, Borg took Ning Shangmo and others to meet the Northern Mongolian Emperor.
Emperor Beimeng smiled slightly: "I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon, thank you for your intelligence last time, and avoid a crisis that may break out." Today, I would like to thank you for bringing so much food and grass to our northern Mongolian army. Enough for us to cope with for a long time. ”
Ning Shangmo heard this, the expression on her face was very indifferent, and she smiled lightly: "In this case, how can you repay me with courtesy, Your Majesty Emperor?" ”
That's a good reply.
Emperor Beimeng was very surprised to see that she was not as annoyed and angry as he imagined, and he couldn't imagine that she was such a weak woman's psychological quality. Although he knew that she was very capable, not inferior to a man, and had dealt with her last time, he was still shocked and amazed that she could deal with it so indifferently when she was captured.
Pay somebody back in the same coin? How does he reciprocate? Emperor Beimeng couldn't help but feel embarrassed by what he thought was a very clever opening, and instead of making fun of Ning Shangmo, he was stopped by her.
Jiang is worthy of the old spicy, after a little contemplation, he laughed out loud: "The little girl is very happy to live by Mingxiang's side now, and I can't bear to see you sad, so I will invite you here." I have expelled the unfilial daughter Tuoba Yanling from Northern Mongolia, after all, I can't raise my godfather, in order to make up for her mistakes, I will treat you as my own daughter. Is this a courtesy? ”
Ning Shangmo shook his head and sighed: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing." I don't believe in such facts, and I don't appreciate the kind compensation made by His Majesty, and I will only understand that it will be revenge. ”
When Emperor Beimeng heard this, he just smiled faintly and changed the topic. This woman is not simple, he does not plan to continue to entangle with her, but said loudly: "I have been on the road for several days, I guess the eldest princess is tired." ”
After speaking, he shouted loudly: "Come on, take the eldest princess of Da Ling and others down to rest, so that they can serve for their lives, if they are sluggish, they will be killed immediately." ”
Several maids responded and came to Ning Shangmo's side and said with a smile: "Please rest after the eldest princess moves." ”
Ning Shangmo and Hua Lanyao glanced at each other, nodded, and the two followed the maid out together.
Seeing this, Huayuan hurriedly followed, he was a little afraid of the Beimeng Emperor. After all, he once had that kind of relationship with Tuoba Yanling.
When Emperor Beimeng saw that he was also leaving, he laughed and said, "Please stay, I still have something to say to you." You wait a minute, and you are a man, so naturally you can't go to the back account with a woman. ”
When the painting garden heard this, he had to stop, and Ning Shangmo, who had already walked to the door, turned his head, smiled at him, and said softly: "If you come, you will be safe, Your Majesty the Emperor will not embarrass you and me, Chrysostom and Jade are still exchanged, how can it be child's play?" ”
Hearing her say this, Hua Yuan instantly felt a lot of comfort in his heart, and said with a smile: "Yes." ”
Emperor Beimeng was once again impressed by Ning Shangmo's calm diplomatic skills, but he was afraid that no number of men could compare.
Suddenly, he couldn't help but have a thought in his heart, if Ning Shangmo was his imperial concubine and used by him, it would be the best thing.
Then, he looked at the painting garden lightly, "Why are you everywhere?" Since you have returned to the Great Ling Imperial City, how can you come back again? ”
Huayuan also responded lightly: "His Majesty Emperor Daling asked me to escort the grain and grass, and I came." ”
He said this on purpose, which can be regarded as a kind of self-preservation.
Emperor Beimeng waved his hand impatiently at him, signaling that his men could take him out. I wanted to say a few words to him, but now I suddenly have a new idea, and I don't have the mood.
After the painting garden was taken away by his subordinates, he looked at Borg and asked, "What are your plans for Ning Shangmo?" ”
Borg was puzzled and asked aloud: "I don't know what Your Majesty is referring to......"
"What should the eldest princess of Shangmo do?" Emperor Beimeng replied lightly: "It would be a pity if such a talent could not be used by me." ”
What does Bog's meaning mean by this phrase, for my use? Could it be that the emperor wants to keep her in Beimeng? But she is the eldest princess of Daling, Mrs. Mingxiang, no better than a man, and she has a legitimate reason to stay.
The right reason? Could it be that the emperor wants to marry the eldest princess as a concubine?
This thought made him break out in a cold sweat, in this way, it would be difficult for Ning Shangmo to get out.
Originally, he was still thinking about finding an opportunity to persuade the emperor to let Ning Shangmo go, after all, they intercepted so much grain and grass from Daling, so there was no need to keep any more people. Although the two countries are at war, it is better to leave a way out.
But now, if His Majesty the Emperor has such an idea, it is not as simple as him being able to move him to release him.
In order to verify the idea in his heart, he asked tentatively: "It would be good if she could stay in the harem, so it would be justified, but I don't know if she is willing?" ”
When Emperor Beimeng heard this, he smiled and said: "If this is the case, it is also a good thing, she can help us Beimeng do things justifiably, and she will be more valued than in Daling, and she will not lose the reputation and status of a man, or you can communicate with her." ”
Hearing him say this, Borg knew that he had guessed correctly, his eyes couldn't help but darken, and he smiled perfunctorily: "Okay, I'll talk to her, but I may not agree, His Royal Highness the Second Prince of Xiliang likes her very much and has been pursuing her, and they used to get along very well, but the eldest princess didn't agree." The second prince of Chu Yue can be said to have tried his best, and he has also experienced many twists and turns, but he has not achieved his wish. ”
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, cautiously glanced at His Majesty the Emperor of Beimeng, and continued with courage: "The second prince of Chu Yue is no worse than Princess Yanling for the eldest princess of Shangmo. It can be seen that Prime Minister Daling and his wife love each other very much, and it is difficult to separate them. ”
Hearing this, Emperor Beimeng's face had become ugly, and without waiting for Borg to continue, he sneered: "What else can you be asked to do?" It's just for you to ask, how is it yet, you just say this and that, what do you mean? Could it be that Chu Yue can't do it, so I can't? Why does he compare himself to me? ”
Seeing that the emperor was angry, Borg was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Wechen will never dare to say that the emperor can't do it, even if Weichen can't do it, the emperor won't do it." It's a micro-minister's sin that deserves death, so I'll go talk about it. ”
Emperor Beimeng waved his hand at him and replied lightly: "That's it, needless to say, I have my own plans." ”
Borg got up and responded, "Okay, Weichen knows." ”
Withdrawing from Emperor Beimeng's account, he was still very happy in his heart, although the emperor reprimanded her on the surface, but in fact he was already thinking about what he said, so he didn't let him persuade Ning Shangmo.
Even so, he decided to go and see Ning Shangmo. Anyway, when he was in Daling in the past, the eldest princess of Shangmo and Ming Xiang were very good to him. He is a person who misses the old love, although it is now the period when the two countries are at war, each is its own master, he still decided to do something for Ning Shangmo within his ability.
Seeing him come in, Ning Shangmo got up and asked, "What are you Beimeng Emperor doing when you arrest me here, if you use me to blackmail Ning Shangmo, he will not succeed." ”
Borg looked at her and shook his head and smiled: "I don't know, it's really unpredictable." ”
Naturally, he wouldn't tell Ning Shangmo what Emperor Beimeng meant, maybe he would change his mind. Therefore, I didn't have to talk to Ning Shangmo to make her worry, so I could only keep it secret from her first, and wait until I saw it.
