In Eastern Qi, horses were very valuable things, especially horses that could be used by soldiers, to the point that they could not be exchanged. The Eastern Qi Dynasty and the Rong people in the north have been enemies for generations, and there is an important reason that the Eastern Qi always wants the Rong people to compete for horses on their territory.

The Rong people are good at horse taming, and they have sent envoys to Lindu several times, hoping to exchange women, cloth, and grain with Dongqi with the best horses they have hunted. But the price code is too high, and it is always impossible to negotiate. came and went, but because of this, there were several battles, and no one was able to gain the upper hand.

The horses on this grassland have the blood of war horses that have followed the Zhou royal family to open the monarch's war, and among the several tribes of the Rong people, there is even a descendant of the heavenly horse who has cultivated to be superb, and the baby is born like a horse, and can be transformed into a human when he grows up. The most direct basis for judging the quality of horses is the color of the coat, the more pure white and shiny the horse, the better the quality.

The horse that Forget was leading, because it was covered in mud all over its body, and it could not see the color of its coat, and it stood motionless, looking like an ordinary horse that could be found everywhere in the camp. But Chu Ning saw something unusual, the horse stood too quietly, if it was really an ordinary war horse, even if it was just standing with its master, it would flick its tail, crack its nose, and make some small movements unique to beasts.

Chu Ning frowned slightly, she really couldn't help but suspect that the horse was the assassin who couldn't find a trace. If it is a Rong people with Pegasus blood, it is not impossible.

Mrs. Xiaowei had already taken Forget Worry and Forget Huan into the camp to rest, and Chu Ning happened to be familiar with a few of them, so she followed, only to appease the frightened Forget Huan.

She looked for an opportunity to get close to Forget Worry and whispered to her, "What's the matter with that horse?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just an ordinary horse." Forget worry while arranging the tassels on the side of the jade pillow, while saying.

Chu Ning stared at her face, in fact, forgetting worries was very different from Chu Ning. Chu Ning has been accustomed to talking nonsense since he was a child, and there is a truth in the three lies, which makes people dizzy. But forgetting worries is really not suitable for lying, the first few times the two cooperated, she just chose not to say what she shouldn't say.

For example, at this moment, in fact, Chu Ning didn't ask anything, she just wanted to emphasize that it was an ordinary horse, and Chu Ning had already gotten the information she wanted to confirm from this sentence.

Chu Ning smiled slightly, and then said: "That's a pity, I originally wanted to tell you that one of the tribes in the Beidi Rong clan is basically a descendant of Tianma who has turned into a human. If you can form an alliance with this tribe, or, simply think of a way, cheat or force, make a pact with the leader of this tribe, and turn it into your covenant slave, then Forget Huan has a very powerful helper on the way to compete with his brother. ”

As she spoke, she looked at the face of Forget Worry attentively, and her breathing was slightly short, which had already revealed her worries. Chu Ning is now 100% sure that the horse must be unusual. She thought she had spoken clearly enough, so she added a closing sentence: "The prince is dead, and among these sons of the king, a new prince is destined to be contested again." ”

After tossing for most of the night, Yuxi and Wanghuan quickly fell asleep. Before Chu Ning left, Mrs. Xiaowei quietly stopped her, took out a wooden box, and pushed it in front of her.

The two met for the first time at King Qi's birthday banquet, and they had a lot of contacts afterwards, but it was really hard to say who deliberately had more ingredients. Mrs. Xiao Wei knew that Chu Ning had some crooked ideas that others did not have, and she discussed trivial matters in the palace with Chu Ning several times, and now Chu Ning seems to be one of Mrs. Xiao Wei's trusted henchmen. Chu Ning naturally also knew a lot about the situation in the palace through the mouth of Mrs. Xiaowei.

Chu Ning lifted the lid of the box and saw that it was full of gold, so she knew that Mrs. Xiaowei had something to ask herself to do, so she closed the lid and waited for her to pick it out.

Mrs. Xiaowei was a little unusual this time, and opened her mouth after consideration: "This child is very close to Yuxi, I think that Yuxi is usually very lonely, and it is good to have a companion, and I want to ask the king to send Yuhuan to my palace to raise." Can you help me think about it, is it appropriate to talk to the king? ”

Chu Ning couldn't help but laugh when she heard her words. The crown prince has just died, and a new battle behind him has already begun. She asked rhetorically: "Madame asked me if it was appropriate, I must have felt inappropriate in my heart, otherwise, Madame would just do it, so why bother to ask me?" ”

Mrs. Xiao Wei smiled a little embarrassedly, if someone else said this, she would definitely be angry on the spot, but she valued Chu Ning's cunning and cleverness the most, so it was not easy to attack at this time.

"Yuxi has multiple companions, on the one hand," Chu Ning continued, "more importantly, this playmate is a boy, the crown prince is dead, and any boy under the king's knees may become the next king, it depends on who everyone bets on." ”

Mrs. Xiao Wei's face changed and changed, but Chu Ning ignored it, and just continued: "Even I can think of things, does Madam think that the king will believe the argument of finding a playmate for the little princess?" ”

She closed the wooden box full of gold with a "click": "This gamble has just begun, all of us can bet, but the only person who can really influence the outcome is the king." Unless you already have enough good chips in your hand, don't go down easily, Madame might as well take a look first. It's going to be a long game, so why rush? ”

The embarrassment on Mrs. Xiaowei's face was even heavier, she was not completely unaware of these truths, but she was just unwilling to be reconciled. King Qi is already old, and she and her sister are now the most favored concubines in the palace, but after Yuxi, no prince or princess was born in the palace, and it is impossible to give birth to a boy by herself. Suddenly, a son whose biological mother had passed away appeared in front of her, and she wanted to try it anyway.

I thought that Chu Ning would return the box of gold, but I didn't expect Chu Ning to stretch out his hands and hold the wooden box in front of his chest, and smiled at Mrs. Xiaowei to say goodbye. Mrs. Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, and then she also showed a smile, Chu Ning accepted her reward, that is, accepted her proposal, it seems that there is still room for discussion in this matter.

A grand spring hunt was overshadowed by the murder of the prince for rebellion. Although the king of Qi ordered that the prince was to blame, and everything was as usual in the spring hunt, but after such a big incident, everyone did not dare to continue to hunt and play heartlessly. After the King of Qi presided over the hunting ceremony, the people who were selected for the Lingque Terrace chose the right time to enter the dense forest, and hurriedly returned after getting the designated prey. This year's spring hunt was cut in half compared to a normal year.

When Chu Ning returned to the mansion of the Suyin family, he unexpectedly saw Princess Ankang again.

After not seeing her for half a month, Princess Ankang was obviously much haggard. She wasn't very beautiful originally, but after all, she was holding the princess's shelf and dressed up very carefully, but at this time she was dressed in plain coarse cloth clothes, with only a regular bun on her head, and no extra jewelry, no fat powder on her face, and the lines at the corners of her eyes and mouth were clearly visible, and she looked more than ten years old.

Seeing Chu Ning, Princess Ankang was not as domineering as before, but turned sideways to dodge, letting Chu Ning go first.

Chu Ning was shocked in his heart, and after inquiring with his subordinates, he found out that during the spring hunt, the queen personally sent someone to intercede, and Su Yu had to release the person. Presumably, Su Yu did not mention to outsiders that Princess Ankang could not have children, and the person sent by the queen also took Su Jinyao as a rhetoric to persuade Su Yu to look at her daughter and not care about it.

It's really a strange news in the world, Chu Ning couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it is really convenient to have the identity of a princess, and when this kind of thing happens, there are still people who persuade her husband to endure it.

Now that the Lord has come out again, the gift prepared by the eldest uncle can be continued. Chu Ning sealed a letter with a spell and sent it out when no one was around.

Within a few days, another strange story broke out in the city. In a land temple in the west of the city, there is a beautiful woman who treats people every day at noon, and she does not take a penny. But this woman somehow provoked Su Yu, and was forcibly interrupted by Su Yu during a certain consultation.

For ordinary people in Lindu, this kind of character who is close to a half-immortal is something they can only watch from a distance but have little chance to come into contact with. The half-immortal falling into the quagmire is their favorite drama. This incident, which was originally not a big deal, gradually turned into a story of ups and downs and tear-jerking in word of mouth, and even derived several different versions.

Some said that Su Yu was resentful because of Princess Ankang, and he didn't dare to openly be an enemy of the royal family, so he had to go to an outer room to vent his anger. Some people say that it is simply Su Yu's heart first, Princess Ankang's revenge is later, Princess Ankang is unrelenting, and Su Yu's incident is just what happened.

Chu Ning listened to the various versions that Xianchen relayed to her, and deeply felt that she was too confident in her ability to talk nonsense in the past, and she still had a lot of room for improvement.

Just as the gossip was spreading, the fairy-like woman had another accident, and she was found lying in a small alley in the city of Lindu, with several packets of herbs in her hands, and her body was covered with sword wounds, as if she had been assassinated. Although those wounds were terrible, fortunately they were not fatal, and the woman happened to be rescued by the Meng family's passers-by, and she recuperated for more than half a month, saving her life.

After recovering from her injuries, she temporarily stayed in Meng's mansion to recuperate. The Meng family has always had a good reputation for being kind and generous, so it is not surprising to make such a move. This time, the people watching the excitement couldn't suppress their curiosity, wanting to know who actually wanted her life.

The highest voice is undoubtedly Princess Su Yu and Ankang.
