Chapter 19: The Zheng Family of Nanzhao (1)

The four princesses of Pinglan were speculating in their hearts, and they really couldn't guess what the reason was!

"What the hell is going on?" Hui'er, tell me ......," Princess Pinglan said.

Mrs. Deng replied softly, and then continued: "Actually, this is a long story...... I have to start from half a year ago, when the pioneer battalion was formed in the General's Mansion, this escort leader came, this person was originally a person from the Tang Dynasty, and at that time, I don't know why he went to the military camp on the border of Nanzhao Kingdom to join the army...... Because he was able to catch a shot from the deputy general Yang Shiyong with force, he temporarily became the commander of the ten. Later, at the end of the Pioneer Camp, the nine people he led were brave and extraordinary in the competition field, and their skills were overwhelming. This matter was also told to me by Chen Jian when he came back, and at that time, Chen Jian already knew that Lu Dao was an extraordinary martial artist, but he didn't know why Lu Dao had fallen to this point. So, I discussed with Deng Jian and transferred this person from the pioneer battalion to the general's mansion to become a guard leader......"

When Mrs. Deng said this, she looked at General Deng Yu. Deng Yu smiled and said, "Yes, it's convenient for me to talk about the rest of the matter! When we transferred him to the General's Mansion as the head of the guard, an incident happened on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival last month...... At that time, Lin Jiazhuang and others also came to the mansion to get together, because this leader had a small friction with Lin Jiazhuang when he was in the pioneer camp beforehand. And that night, a man named Ouyang Qingtian came out of Linjiazhuang, and he came out and vowed to compete with him...... In fact, everyone could see at that time that the people of Linjiazhuang wanted to establish a prestige for Linjiazhuang in front of all the celebrities in Babao Town. Later, the leader really had no choice but to fight! After this battle, the two fought really well. It's just that no one thought that Ouyang Qingtian of Linjiazhuang would be defeated by this guard leader. And Ouyang Qingtian saw that the defeat was decided, and if Ming Sheng couldn't do it, he changed to secretly take it. Originally, their victory and defeat had been divided. What's even more unexpected is that Ouyang Qingtian actually cast more than a dozen hidden weapons behind his back to attack him...... At this time, under the anger of this leader, he actually used the world's famous Nebula Villa's peerless 'star collector', and killed Ouyang Qingtian by mistake. ”

"Nebula Villa?" Princess Pinglan and her men exhaled at the same time.

"Not bad......" Deng Yu replied.

Princess Pinglan looked extremely surprised, and she still didn't believe it. "Did you see it clearly? Is that really the 'star catcher' of Nebula Villa?"

At this time, Mrs. Deng said calmly: "He is indeed the 'star collector' of Xingyun Villa, not only did we recognize it at that time, but even many people in the martial arts present recognized it. It also includes the master of the General's Mansion, who was the first to exhale......"

"Master of the General's Mansion, he also knows, it seems that you are really a hidden dragon and a sleeping dragon in the General's Mansion, you really have to be careful......" Princess Pinglan sighed meaningfully.

"Yes, since Chen Jian and I came, we have discovered that the most unfathomable person in the entire General's Mansion is our master!" Mrs. Deng glanced at Deng Yu and said.

"Let's not mention your master for the time being, let's continue to talk about the leader. By the way, what's his name?" Princess Pinglan suddenly asked, as if she had thought of something.

"His name is Ling Nan......" Deng Yu said.

"Ling Nan?" Princess Pinglan asked rhetorically.

"No, his name is not Ling Nan! his real name is Ling Xingnan......" Madame Deng corrected.

"Ling Xingnan?" Princess Pinglan and her subordinates suddenly asked rhetorically.

As if they had been stimulated by something, something strange suddenly flashed in the eyes of Princess Pinglan and the others.

It seems that there is some magic in the three words Ling Xingnan.

"Ling Nan, Ling Xingnan, Nebula Villa......" the four of them muttered.

At this time, the sword-wielding female guard behind Princess Pinglan exclaimed, "I remember, the leader of the guards we met in Shuiyun Nunnery that day...... He was still in conflict with us at that time, and we didn't believe at that time that a head of the guard in the General's Mansion would have such superb martial arts!"

Princess Pinglan seemed to remember, nodded slightly, and said, "Not bad." In this way, with his age, his martial arts...... He should be Ling Xingnan, the former young owner of Xingyun Villa, who has caused a sensation recently, and it is rumored that he killed the head of the sect and fled from Xingyun Villa. But he didn't expect him to go to Nanzhao Kingdom, no wonder Xingyun Mountain Villa and many people from the Central Plains Martial Arts couldn't find him!"

When Princess Pinglan finished speaking, she paused for a long time. No one in the room spoke, as if afraid to interrupt her thoughts.

"However, judging from the situation in Shuiyun Nunnery that day, as well as his actions to welcome and rescue Hui'er this time, this Ling Xing man should not be like the traitor who killed the elder of the same sect as rumored in the rivers and lakes......

At this moment, Mrs. Deng also sighed faintly and said, "Yes! From the moment he came to rescue me, I felt that he was not the kind of traitor who killed the elders of the same sect! As for the fact that he left Linjiazhuang with me later, and we met his two fellow brothers, Sima Yuntian and Huang Feiyong, in the big forest...... From their conversation, I could tell that this Ling Xing man really had unspeakable hardships and inexplicable secrets. ”

At this time, Princess Pinglan interjected: "What, Sima Yuntian, the eldest disciple of Xingyun Villa, is also here? I have heard this person talk about this person, this person is strong in martial arts, and he is known as 'killing gods with one sword'." It is rumored that his martial arts are even more powerful than those old protectors in Nebula Mountain Villa...... I just don't know how you managed to escape from them?"

Princess Pinglan seemed particularly interested in this matter, and looked at Madame Deng with a look of consternation.

"This is the ...... Speaking of which, I still haven't figured it out......" Mrs. Deng said with an embarrassed look on her face.

A male guard standing behind Princess Pinglan asked in surprise, "Isn't it?" Xiaohui, how could you ......?"

Mrs. Deng seemed to smile helplessly, and then continued: "It's true, at that time, Ling Xingnan asked me to enter the pile of rubble behind me alone, and he said that he would arrive later...... Sure enough, it didn't take long for me to see Ling Xingnan also come in, and then I saw that he fainted because of his injuries and toxic attacks...... Later, I turned around in the pile of rocks, but I could not find a way out, and finally I didn't wake up for some reason...... When I came to my senses, I found myself lying under a crevice in a hidden rock wall...... But at this time, Ling Xingnan no longer knew where he was going. After the end, I had to go back to the general's mansion alone. ”

......

One day, on the main hall of the palace of Nanzhao Kingdom.

The ministers stood solemnly, and no one dared to ye.

On the throne of King Shilong, the king of Nanzhao, the tiger looked majestically at the civil and military ministers in the palace. Obviously, his face was extremely unhappy, and the resentment in his heart had spread over the whole palace.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my ministers of the Nanzhao Kingdom, this king's edict meets you today, I think you should also know what the reason for the Dao is, right?" said Shilong, the king of Nanzhao.

It's just that after Shilong said this, there was still no sound under the ministers.

Shicheng snorted solemnly, and said to the person who looked like a military attache on the left side of the hall: "Lord Mushuang (note: the official position of the general in charge of the army in Nanzhao Guozhong), you can tell me about ......"

When Lord Shuang heard this, he seemed to have expected that the king would ask him for questions. He straightened his clothes, saluted the king of Nanzhao very respectfully, and then said: "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty court is not very chaotic now, and today he is just a yellow-mouthed child, and he is mediocre...... Not to mention the lack of power, the eunuchs were also allowed to take charge, and the government and the opposition did not obey orders and did not stop orders; drought and flood disasters in the country for many years and there was no harvest, the people were not able to make a living, and the people were full of grievances, and the rebels in various places rose up one after another...... Under such circumstances, it is the time for our Nanzhao Kingdom to use troops. The heavens have blessed our country, and they have such a good opportunity, and I ask the king not to hesitate any longer...... The so-called 'opportunity must not be lost, and it will never come again.' I hope that the king will make a decision as soon as possible, which is really a blessing for the whole country of Nanzhao. ”

When Shilong heard this, a hint of excitement flashed across his face, but he didn't show it immediately. He turned his head and said to the minister who looked like a scribe on the right, "Vice Minister, what do you think of what Lord Mushuang said?"

The deputy glanced at the king and Lord Na Shuang, and had to come out and salute Shi Long deeply, and said with a smile: "The king and Lord Mu Shuang have already made a bamboo in their hearts, and no one in Nanzhao knows that the king intends to move troops...... It's just that Weichen has some words, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

When the king of Nanzhao heard this, he smiled and said: "If the vice minister has something to say, please speak up, your Zheng family is loyal and good, and you have a sixth life in my Nanzhao country, right?

"Yes, since my ancestors, Zheng Hui served as a Qingping official (Note: Qingping official, the official name of Nanzhao State, equivalent to a minister. Six generations have passed since then. The sixth generation of the Zheng family has received great kindness from the kings of the past dynasties...... Although the ancestors were Han people in the Tang Dynasty, our generations have already completely integrated themselves into the Nanzhao people. ”

Here is a tentative table, the deputy prime minister of the Southern Zhao Kingdom, whose surname is Zheng Ming Zhongyong. His ancestor Zheng Hui was originally the commander of Lu County in Tang Xi, and was later captured by the Southern Zhao State and returned to China as the official of Qingping. The six generations of later generations were all trusted by the kings of the Nanzhao Kingdom and were the powerful ministers of the Nanzhao Kingdom. His son, Zheng Maihei, was the king who destroyed the Nanzhao Kingdom and established the Great Changhe Kingdom at the end of the Tang Dynasty and the beginning of the fifth dynasty.

For the time being, the right to introduce the aftermath......

After Zheng Zhongyong said these words, he heard Lord Mushuang snort coldly, obviously he didn't like this deputy minister very much.

Nan Zhaoguo took office, but due to his advanced age and hard work, he was already sick at home. Especially recently, it has been rumored that the illness has worsened, and I am afraid that time is running out. Therefore, many important tasks of the Southern Zhao State were temporarily handled by Vice Minister Zheng Zhongyong.

There are many people in the government and the opposition staring at the position of the right phase, and this scene is one of the most powerful people. In addition, Wusutai is the elder brother of Princess Nanzhao, so it is not false that he has a power for a while.

The Nanzhao Kingdom has always been a Fanbang country that emphasizes military force and light literature, and in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty at that time, it was regarded as a Southern Barbarian. After more than 200 years, the Nanzhao Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty were founded at about the same time, and after more than 200 years, they were the two largest foreign countries in the territory of the Tang Dynasty together with the Tubo at that time.

However, after listening to what Zheng Zhongyong said, Shilong, the king of Nanzhao, nodded silently and smiled silently.
