Chapter 171 Meeting
Yang Jiani felt that she was very unprincipled.
Although Zhao Ning's cultivation is one level lower than her, this should not be an obstacle for her to take revenge. After all, after arriving at the Yuan Shen Realm, she can already easily suppress a realm to make a move.
With the same cultivation to learn from Zhao Ning, this is not unreasonable, right?
When she saw Zhao Ning for the first time in the grassland, there was a war at that time, and she ate a lot of dry food from the other party, and she always felt that she was soft and short-mouthed, and it was not easy to do anything with Zhao Ning in public or private.
These days, Zhao Ning always seems to be very busy, busy commanding operations, busy hurrying, and busy talking with the herdsmen. Although she couldn't bear it for a long time, she couldn't disturb Zhao Ning's business.
She is a very reasonable person.
But the more I thought about it for a while, the more angry I became, and the more I took a step back, the more I lost, and tonight, Yang Jiani couldn't bear it anymore. She has never been a person who can hide things, the problems that should be solved must be solved, and she will never hesitate when she needs to do it.
When she was in Jiangzuo, she was never polite when she met those self-proclaimed talents, who blocked the road when she was traveling, forcibly accosted her, or contributed poems.
If you beat the other party to the point that you have a nosebleed and can't get up, you will naturally not be entangled again.
How simple.
This fight with Zhao Ning must be fought.
So here she is.
happened to see Zhao Ning idle, lying on the ground, looking at the scenery with Erlang's legs crossed, so leisurely that she couldn't be more leisurely, Yang Jiani was suddenly in a good mood.
In order to confirm that Zhao Ning was really watching the night scene, rather than thinking about things seriously, Yang Jiani deliberately stood in front of him and stretched her neck to check his face.
As for whether this action is very stupid and strange, whether it will be stupid, Yang Jiani is completely unaware.
Seeing Zhao Ning sit up, Yang Jiani, who was holding the knife of Zhang Ermo, said simply and directly: "Let's fight." ”
There is no need to retreat, there is no need to retreat, there is no need to endure it, there is no need to endure it anymore, Zhao Ning also has a temper, since Yang Jiani wants to fight so much, then it is better to fight.
It's just that if you lose, you really can't get off the stage, and the other party is the deputy commander of the B battalion, which is his deputy, if you haven't fought, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold your head up in the future......
But if the other party wants to suppress the realm, Zhao Ning really has no face to take the initiative to speak, a dignified husband, and the other party wants to let himself, it is really unreasonable!
Just when Zhao Ning shouted and was about to go back to get the knife, he suddenly smelled a strange smell.
Yang Jiani turned her head like lightning and looked at it like an arrow.
A young man dressed as a shepherd walked by with a fragrant lamb roasted on the outside and tender on the inside.
"General, it's not early, I see that you haven't slept yet, thinking that you might be hungry, so I made a roast sheep, do you want to ...... general?"
When the young shepherd said this, he saw Yang Jiani staring at him—no, staring at the roast sheep on his tray, and smiled even brighter and happily, "General Yang is also there...... Does the general want to eat sheep?"
He stammered and had a strange accent.
His name is Griqi, and he belongs to the Gesang Ministry. According to the old man of the Gesang Department, he is the most outstanding young man in the Gesang Department, clever and capable, and a good hand at herding roast sheep.
In order to express the gratitude of the Gesang tribe for Zhao Ning's noble act of exterminating the horse thieves and giving some of the horse thieves to them as slaves, the Gesang tribe is willing to dedicate the best young people of the tribe to Zhao Ning as a servant and serve Zhao Ning well.
Yang Jiani glanced at Zhao Ning and blushed a little.
How could Zhao Ning not understand what this meant, and immediately decided: "I'll go get wine." ”
So, under the bribe of this sheep, Yang Jiani, who had eaten a mouth full of oil, could only give up her plan to find Zhao Ning to do it tonight.
When she left, Yang Jiani was still annoyed, and kept blaming herself in her heart: Yang Jiani, Yang Jiani, you are so unprincipled!
......
A day later, Zhao Ning took the light cavalry of the Yizi Battalion and ran into the team that the royal court of the Dadan Department came to greet him.
Because it is the royal court that is going to go, it is a necessary step to send someone to inform the other party in advance, and it is also etiquette for the other party to go out for sixty miles. Although Zhao Ning's official position is not high, after all, he is an angel of the Celestial Empire, and the royal court of the Dadan Department cannot be neglected.
The leader who came to greet him was a young woman, her hat was adorned with pearls and gemstones, her white clothes were as white as snow, and her face was full of youthful and energetic smiles.
When the other party reported to his home, Zhao Ning knew that this was the princess of the Dadan Royal Court.
The other party was very enthusiastic, and she never stopped chattering when they met, she was not curious about what Zhao Ning was doing, but she was very interested in Daqi's customs and customs.
Along the way, he kept asking questions, and his eyes were full of yearning for the prosperous Central Plains. Compared with Grich, her Daqi official dialect is very fluent, and she can communicate with Zhao Ning without barriers, and occasionally pop up two lines of poetry.
When he arrived at the royal court of the Dadan Ministry, Zhao Ning saw a more grand welcome pomp.
The royal court is naturally very prosperous, there are many white tents that cannot be seen at a glance, and there are tens of thousands of tents in the middle of the tent, and the tents in the middle area are very tall.
In addition to the herdsmen, there was also an endless stream of merchants, some from other tribes not far away, and most of them were curly-haired, blue-eyed, and profound Hu merchants from the Western Regions.
When you get closer, you can clearly smell the smell of them, but the shepherds also have the smell of sheep's flesh, which together does not appear to be obtrusive. When it comes to personal hygiene, these people can't compare with Qi people.
In this sense, it is no wonder that the Qi people call them barbarians.
In front of the Hu businessmen, most of them have a slightly arrogant attitude, looking superior, as if their money is more fragrant and precious than the Hu people's money.
Of course, Dadan Khan would not come to greet Zhao Ning in person.
When following the magnates of the royal court into the tribe and walking all the way to the royal court, the merchants and herdsmen on both sides of the road would mostly stop their work and talk, and look at Zhao Ning and them.
Obviously looking at the odds, many children still ran along.
The dignitaries of the Dadan Department who entertained Zhao Ning, although their attitude was respectful, they were deliberately showing their knowledge and cultivation in their words, and they felt uncomfortable without embellishment of a few idioms in two sentences, or far-fetched allusions to some Qi people.
Occasionally, they flaunt the prosperity of the tribe, pretend to be inadvertent, confide that the annual commercial tax they collect is astronomical, and then show how luxurious their life is.
Because Zhao Ning was the heir to the head of the first noble family of Great Qi, their boastful talk never stopped.
In short, their psychology can be described in one sentence: although we are not as good as the capital of Daqi, we are not too much different, we are both powerful, we are also very tasteful and leveled, don't look down on us.
Regarding this mentality of a local tyrant in the countryside, Zhao Ning had no knowledge in his previous life, and he did not break it at the moment, trying to talk with the princesses and magnates of the Dadan Department as easily as possible, taking care of their self-esteem and subtle inferiority complex.
The royal tent can be called majestic, the inner space is also very large, the decoration is even more luxurious, and the gold decoration is a little dazzling, which is completely different from the elegant style pursued by Daqi.
Zhao Ning entered the king's tent and saw Dadan Khan on the throne at a glance.
As far as Zhao Ning's vision is concerned, one sentence to describe his judgment is: the other party is a very wealthy old man in the twilight.
said that he was old, that was past the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and his hair was gray.
Rich and noble, because of the clothes of Dadan Khan, as well as his size.
Aside from the robes embroidered with gold threads and decorated with precious gemstones, just the overly large and excessively gorgeous round cone hat made Zhao Ning feel heavy, and he was afraid that the other party's head would not be able to hold it.
The other party is very tall, but he has been completely out of shape, his face is full of meat, his belly is poop, sitting there is like a mountain of meat, his arms and thighs are bloated, and he is roughly estimated to be no less than five hundred pounds.
Unlike Wei Wuxian's fatness, Dadan Khan was simply obese, and if it weren't for the wide throne like a big bed, it probably wouldn't have been able to fit him. The young beauties waiting next to him also reached as many as eight.
The people who serve around him are like vines hanging from a tree.
Zhao Ning is now very skeptical that the other party can stand up when he needs to move.
This doubt was maintained until Zhao Ning finished the ceremony. Although the other party said that he had a friendly smile on his face, he only raised his hand to signal Zhao Ning to be polite, and there was no movement to get up at all.
Zhao Ning sat down, exchanged two words, and got straight to the point: "Ben will come back here, there is something important to discuss with the Khan, and please ask the Khan to retreat." ”
Dadan Khan cooperated, waved his hand, and let the left and right retreat, leaving the prince and the princess in the big tent.
There is a big age difference between these two people, the prince is nearly half a hundred years old, and he is calm and introverted, and the princess who greeted Zhao Ning is not yet an adult, and it is the time when she is energetic and noisy.
"General Zhao is a friend who came from afar, and if there is something to do, it doesn't hurt to say it, so I'll listen to you. Dadan Khan kept a kind smile and spoke like those powerful people, insisting on getting some Daqi idioms and hanging his bookbag.
Zhao Ning said solemnly: "Does the Khan know that the Tianyuan Royal Court is secretly mobilizing troops and preparing to destroy the Dadan Division?"
As soon as he said this, Dadan Khan was stunned at first, and even though he laughed, the prince was dumbfounded, thinking it was very funny.
"General Zhao is really funny, if it's any other joke, I can still make a scene, such a big thing, General Zhao is not easy to believe, right?" Dadan Khan laughed for a while, and seeing that Zhao Ning didn't seem to be joking, he restrained his laughter.
Zhao Ning asked rhetorically: "Could it be that the Khan really doesn't know anything about the current situation in the grassland?"
Dadan Khan didn't care, waved his hand, and said with a straight face: "General Zhao, Ben Khan knows that the Tianyuan tribe has arranged a lot of detailed work in your capital, and there has been a lot of trouble.
"Daqi felt offended and wanted to teach the Tianyuan tribe a lesson, and Ben Khan could understand. But General Zhao wanted to use this way of making something out of nothing to let the Dadan Royal Court send troops to deal with the Tianyuan tribe, so Daqi's calculation was wrong.
"We will never be deceived into making other people's knives. ”
Zhao Ning frowned, "Khan really doesn't know that the Jurchen and Khitan departments are already on the same boat with the Tianyuan Royal Court?"
"Three years ago, Tianyuan Khan held a Naadam conference in the royal court and invited all the major royal courts to be guests, but the Jurchens and Khitans both went, but the Khan did not go. The Khan really didn't know anything about what happened because he didn't go?"
The Tianyuan Division, the Jurchen Division, the Khitan Division, and the Dadan Division are the four largest tribes on the grassland at present, and they are also the tribes with royal courts.
