The atmosphere in the Dadan royal court was gloomy, and Zhao Ning didn't see a few pedestrians on the way to the king's tent.

Some herders poke their heads out of the tent curtains, wary and alarmed, watching for any movement outside. A child slipped out of the tent, and in the blink of an eye, he was grabbed by an adult and slapped down.

As for the place where they used to do business, now there is not a single businessman, and the herdsmen like to come here to wander when they have nothing to do, but now they can't see half a person.

Even in the lively sheepfold and cattle pen, the cattle and sheep did not make a sound at the moment, and I don't know what means these shepherds used against them, or if they also noticed the sharp blade hanging on the top.

The bright sun hung in the sky, but Zhao Ning felt as if he was in the underworld, lifeless.

It seems that even if the Yanmen army comes, the attitude of the military and civilians of the Dadan Department towards the outcome of the war is still very pessimistic. ”

Zhao Ning saw a man with a disheveled hair outside a tent, crying while drinking, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing.

As he passed by, the man was so frightened that he shrank back half a foot with a frightened face, shouting "We are all going to die", "We will all be slaves", "We will lose our cattle, sheep, wives and children".

In a different quiet atmosphere, the drunken man's sudden roar sounded particularly harsh, startling many herdsmen who peeked at Zhao Ning and his party, and their bodies stiffened, and even the adults who beat the children stopped moving.

The royal court guards who led the way for Zhao Ning suddenly became angry, and one of them stepped over in two steps, kicked the man over with one kick, and went up with a punch and kick, and the screams soon became weaker.

In the end, the man was dragged away by the guards like a dead dog.

This scene frightened all the herdsmen to retract their heads, and the adults also picked up the children and ran back, and within a radius of 100 steps, there was suddenly no living thing.

"Is this group already nervous?"

The solemn and grotesque atmosphere did not make Zhao Ning serious either, but made him feel ridiculous:

"With the support of the Yanmen Army, the whole of Dadan's subordinates should be happy, but now that the royal court is so nervous, there should be only one answer. ”

The specific battle situation of Fengming Mountain has been spread in the Dadan Royal Court.

The Dadan Department knew that the Yanmen Army was fighting hard, and also knew that the Yanmen Army had suffered heavy losses, and even more knew that there were many Wang Jijing cultivators in Beihu.

So they don't think now that the Yanmen army will win the war when it arrives. On the contrary, they felt that even if the Yanmen army arrived, it would be difficult to defeat the Tianyuan and Khitan armies!

The war situation that Zhao Xin could see, the Dadan royal court could naturally see it.

This made them more pessimistic and apprehensive than before the arrival of the Yanmen army.

When the Yanmen army did not come, they still thought that as long as the Yanmen army arrived in time, the victory would belong to them, and they had hope, such as the people of Batu, the evil king, must be this idea.

But now, the entire Dadan royal court is afraid that it has become a frightened bird. The shadow of panic and despair enveloped every inch of the royal court, and also shrouded almost all the soldiers and civilians of Dadan.

Zhao Xuanji was in the king's tent, discussing the military plane with the Dadan Khan, and there were also a prince and nobleman of the Dadan tribe, the crown prince, the evil king Batu, and the princess Tana were all listed.

When Zhao Ning entered the account, everyone's eyes were on him.

With Zhao Ning's contribution to the Dadan Department and the role he played in the battle in this battle, these Dadan nobles in the king's tent would not be too much to give him a big salute.

But now, there is no reverence, no worship, not even reverence, no faith in the eyes of these people.

These gazes were retracted in a blink of an eye, and they did not stay on Zhao Ning for a moment, reflecting the disregard that these people now have for Zhao Ning.

How could Zhao Ning not know the thoughts of these people, now in the other party's opinion, the battle situation is so bad, it is not something he can control at all, and it is impossible for him to bring them a turn around.

Only two people stood up to greet them.

One is, of course, the evil king Batu, who hurriedly walked up to Zhao Ning, saluted and greeted:

"I have heard of General Zhao's achievements in Fengming Mountain, General Zhao is really brave, and I can't wait for it. It is our honor to fight side by side with General Zhao this time!"

Behind him was the young and beautiful princess Tana, with a pair of big watery eyes, looking at Zhao Ning without blinking, and her clear eyes were full of worship of heroes and strong men:

"I don't know about war, but I know that General Zhao is a hero of both wisdom and bravery. And no matter how difficult the situation is, as long as the hero appears, he will definitely be able to lead us out of the predicament and win the final victory!"

Her Daqi official's words were crisp and beautiful, as simple and transparent as herself.

Zhao Ning was about to say a few words of politeness and humility to the two of them, when a cold snort suddenly entered his ears, which made his ears very uncomfortable. Following the prestige, I found that the one who made the voice was Prince Dadan, who was sitting still.

Without waiting for Zhao Ning to speak, Prince Dadan, who did not squint, said in a strange manner:

"You two are inevitably underestimating the Tianyuan and Khitan armies, that is the existence of the Yanmen army also losing troops, no matter how smart General Zhao is, he is only in the Yuan Shen Realm, and can he still strangle Wang Ji Realm?"

After returning from Xiao Yebu's "escape", Prince Dadan was grateful to him, but now his attitude has suddenly changed, which makes Zhao Ning feel a little strange.

Batu turned around and said angrily: "General Zhao came from afar, fought bloodily, and traveled thousands of miles to help, how could the prince talk to General Zhao like this?"

"Shut up, is this your part in talking?!"

Prince Dadan shouted mightily, and when Batu's face was red and Tana's face was puzzled, he leaned at Zhao Ning and said:

"General Zhao, before the war, you made us think that as long as the Yanmen army participated in the war, the Tianyuan and Khitan divisions would be wiped out, so for this reason, they took a lot of wealth from us, and let us bear the military rations of the Yanmen army!

"But what about now, the Tianyuan Army and the Khitan Army are in front of you, can General Zhao repel them?

When he said this, he looked at Zhao Ning's gaze like a liar, full of anger, contempt and hostility, as if Zhao Ning had cheated his wife and children away.

Zhao Ning's face sank.

He had never said that as soon as the Yanmen army arrived, the Tianyuan and Khitan armies would be wiped out, and the property that the Dadan Ministry had given him before was also an active bribe, begging the Yanmen army to help.

It's good now, this guy is beating upside down, and he doesn't choose what to say, and he actually says that Zhao Ning is a treacherous and heinous person.

As a human being in two lives and having insight into the world, Zhao Ning knows very well that the reason why Prince Dadan has this kind of behavior is, in the final analysis, this guy is just a selfish villain.

When Zhao Ning helped him and was useful to him, he had a kind attitude and wanted to lie on the ground.

But now, once he thinks that Zhao Ning can't help him retreat from the enemy and can't bring him benefits, he feels sorry for his previous efforts and feels that Zhao Ning has a hateful face.

In this world, there are more snobs than mice, and they are as blind as rats.

"Shut up!

Dadan Khan scolded harshly, turned his head and apologized to Zhao Xuanji, "The Metropolitan Governor is angry, the prince is worried about the battle situation, and his mind is confused, please ignore the villain." ”

Zhao Xuanji has always been in the tent, and when Prince Dadan said those words, he didn't taboo him at all.

Zhao Xuanji didn't turn his face just like that, waved his hand, looked at Zhao Ning, the two made a brief eye contact, and then he said to Dadan Khan: "The battle situation is indeed difficult and dangerous, and it is understandable that the prince cares about chaos." ”

He behaved very generously, but Prince Dadan did not intend to restrain himself, but instead had to inch in, he didn't dare to shout at Zhao Xuanji, so he glared at Zhao Ning and said viciously:

"General Zhao, why don't you speak? Is there nothing to say, is there no way to retreat from the enemy? Tana can say that you are a peerless hero!

"When you asked us to concentrate our troops and horses before and fight with Tianyuan and Khitan, weren't you high-spirited and commanding?

"Now that the Dadan Department has suffered heavy losses, and has also poured all the royal court's materials to reward the Yanmen army, shouldn't General Zhao say anything?"

Zhao Ning was about to be laughed at by Prince Dadan, and Dadan Khan hurriedly drank again to shut him up, and looked at Zhao Xuanji apologetically, very embarrassed and didn't know what to say: "Dadudu, look at this....... He's such a bastard!"

Prince Dadan still refused to give up, and said loudly:

"The reason for the war between the Tianyuan and Khitan armies is nothing more than that we didn't protect their caravans, if we hadn't trusted others at that time and took the initiative to compensate for the money, the Dadan Department would not have suffered such a big loss today!"

His words immediately attracted the echo of some of the old nobles of the royal court, and the royal tent was lively for a while.

The so-called gullibility of others naturally refers to Zhao Ning, which has brought huge losses to the Dadan Department. It seems that Zhao Ning is the butcher who caused heavy casualties to their soldiers.

The war situation is unfavorable, they are in danger, and at this time, of course, they must draw a clear line of responsibility.

People are always reluctant to admit that they are wrong and incompetent, and the weak especially need to behave as irresponsible, as if then they will be perceived as strong.

Why shame is almost bravery, this is the reason. Only those who are mentally strong can admit their mistakes. And Prince Dadan is obviously not.

"You rebel, you dare to talk to General Zhao like this, you're really tired! Come on, drag it out!"

Dadan Khan stood up suddenly, grabbed the wine glass and smashed it at Prince Dadan, roaring for the guards to come in and take Prince Dadan out, so that he would not be embarrassed here.

Prince Dadan was forced to leave, but he was not convinced, and when he passed by Zhao Ning's side, he still stared at Zhao Ning fiercely and resentfully.

"Stop!" Zhao Ning suddenly shouted, sternly telling Prince Dadan to stop.

He looked at Dadan Khan and Zhao Xuanji.

At this moment, Zhao Ning has already understood that the reason why Prince Dadan behaves abnormally, in front of Zhao Xuanji, and viciously speaks to him, is not because of character problems, but because he is singing a duet with Dadan Khan.

At this time, how could the Dadan royal court not know that the Yanmen Army was the only and greatest reliance on them to protect the entire clan? Under such circumstances, no matter what they thought in their hearts, how could they really offend the Yanmen Army?

Prince Dadan and Dadan Khan, one with a white face and the other with a black face, sang and harmonized, just to show that the Yanmen Army owed the Dadan Department in this way.

Zhao Ning, who was further angry and ashamed, couldn't wait to prove his wisdom and courage and attack the Tianyuan and Khitan armies.

In this way, in the next battle, the Yanmen army will charge ahead, Zhao Ning will go to fight against the strong enemy, and the Dadan soldiers will be able to hide behind and be protected to the greatest extent.

If the battle is unfavorable, it will be easier for them to escape, and if the battle is deadlocked, they can also use this to write to the Emperor of Great Qi and ask the Emperor to send more reinforcements to help the Dadan Army.

If they win, they will get more when they divide the spoils!
