Tang Ling's question was too jumpy, even Shangguan Xiu, who was quick-thinking, couldn't react for a while. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I heard that you have eaten human flesh in Ningnan, how does it taste" Tang Ling was still smiling, and glanced at him coquettishly, as if he was asking a relaxed and ordinary thing.

"I've only drunk blood, not meat. "For a cultivator of Shangguan Xiu's realm, the amount of food and drink really doesn't need to be very large.

"What kind of taste" Tang Ling's eyes lit up and asked with interest.

Shangguan Xiu rubbed his chin, thought about it carefully, and replied seriously: "It's a little fishy, a little salty, and a little sweet." ”

When Tang Ling heard this, he burst out laughing, stood in place, stared at Shangguan Xiu for a while, slowly restrained his smile, and said casually: "It's strange to say, during the time you went on the expedition, I was quite worried about you." ”

She said it lightly, but others must not know, at first she thought that Shangguan Xiu was killed, hiding in the dormitory and crying, for several days she didn't think about tea, until she heard that Shangguan Xiu was safe and sound, the haze in her heart was swept away, and later heard that Shangguan Xiu was seriously injured in the battle of the wrong pass, life and death were on the line, and she was worried about these things, of course she would not tell Shangguan Xiu, and she was embarrassed to let anyone know, because she was a goddess and the emperor of the gale.

Seeing that Shangguan Xiu was a little far away from him, Tang Ling beckoned to him. Waiting for Shangguan Xiu to step forward and stand still in front of him, Tang Ling smiled, stretched out his arms, and said, "Carry me back to the dormitory." "Hey, you can watch it without a bullet window

You're not without long feet. This is Shangguan Xiu's heart, of course he will not say it.

After looking at Tang Ling for a while, and making sure that she was not joking, Shangguan Xiu bent down and hugged Tang Ling sideways. Tang Ling's two little hands naturally wrapped around his neck, and his little face was gently pressed against his chest.

Smelling the unique smell of hay on his body and feeling the warmth of his chest, Tang Ling's heart throbbed.

That's how it feels. In the six months that Shangguan Xiu went on the expedition, she didn't know how many times she missed this feeling, and she didn't know how many days and nights she had, worried that she would never get this feeling back.

Fortunately, he finally returned safely, and this sense of security of being relied on and protected also returned, and his empty heart seemed to be filled all at once.

"I have already ordered the Duwei Mansion and the Lieutenant's Mansion to investigate the assassination of you when you returned to Beijing. She lay in Shangguan Xiu's arms and said softly.

"This matter has nothing to do with Nie Zhen. Shangguan Xiu hugged her and said firmly as she walked in the direction of the dormitory.

"Why can the assassin clearly know that the carriage you are riding in is not the problem with Nie Zhen, then it can only be your subordinates who have the problem. ”

Tang Ling's little hand restlessly played with the silver hair on his chest, and said with a smile: "What's more, do you think that I asked the Duwei Mansion to take Nie Zhen into custody just because of the assassin?"

"And the unauthorized actions of his army. ”

"If you know everything, why are you deliberately pretending to be confused. Tang Ling glanced at him dissatisfiedly and playfully.

"He's here to save me. Shangguan Xiu said word by word.

"No matter what the reason for his unauthorized actions, a mistake is a mistake, and there is no punishment for mistakes, and it is not the work of Mingjun. Tang Ling pulled his hair and looked at him with a smile, his eyes revealing a bit of provocation.

Although Tang Ling's figure is thin, he is by no means petite, and Shangguan Xiu is not a burly person with a big waist and a round waist, but Tang Ling is as light as nothing in the crook of his arm, and he will not give people the slightest sense of disobedience when he holds Tang Ling, more like a natural pair.

Shangguan Xiu walked into the dormitory with Tang Ling in his arms, gently put her on the dragon bed, he took two steps back, stood still, paused for a moment, and said: "In this expedition, our army looted the treasury of the Ningnan Imperial Court in Amy City by chance, and from it, we also grabbed a lot of gold and silver. ”

"Hmm. Tang Ling was half-lying on the bed, his expression was lazy, and he didn't say anything, waiting for Shangguan Xiu to continue. The latter said slowly: "Half of the gold and silver I intend to hand over to the imperial court, and the other half of the gold and silver I intend to use to compensate the wounded soldiers and the construction of Zhenjun." ”

Tang Ling said slowly: "The number of the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th Army Zhenjun Army in the Central Army is the central army of the imperial court, and the compensation for the casualties should naturally be done by the imperial court. As for Zhenjun, it is the territory of the strong wind, and how to build it is also a matter for the imperial court. ”

The implication is that Shangguan Xiu has no reason to leave one gold and one silver. Tang Ling's words were actually not wrong, but Shangguan Xiu was very unwilling to hand over all the gold and silver to the imperial court.

After all, these gold and silver are all brought back by the people of Zhenjun with their heads and with their lives, once they are given to the imperial court, in the end, there are very few that can really be used in Zhenjun, and the court's pension for the dead soldiers is pitiful.

Shangguan Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Emperor Shengzu once stipulated that in the war against the enemy, the soldiers in the army can keep fifty percent of the loot, and the other fifty percent must be handed over to the state treasury. Since this rule has not been abolished, it is not wrong for me to hand over half of the silver and gold. ”

Tang Ling snorted and laughed, and said, "Shangguan Xiu, you are so capable, now you have moved out of the Holy Ancestor Emperor to suppress me." ”

Shangguan Xiu's eyes were deep, but he didn't smile. Tang Ling asked, "Tell me, how much gold and silver did you snatch in Ningnan?"

"Eight million taels of gold and thirty thousand taels of silver. Shangguan Xiu said without concealment.

Tang Ling's eyes flashed with a gleam, but it quickly disappeared again. She nodded, raised her hand and pointed at Shangguan Xiu, and said, "You are honest and did not deceive me." ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes, it sounded like Tang Ling seemed to know everything about his side, could it be that there were Tang Ling's people by his side

As if seeing the doubts in his heart, Tang Ling said with a smile: "I am the Heavenly Maiden of Gale, I must know everything about Gale, and your Zhenjun Army will not be an exception." ”

Hearing her say this, Shangguan Xiu was relieved. There are 400,000 soldiers in the Zhenjun army, and Tang Ling, as the emperor, wants to entrap some of them, or insert some secret agents, which is as easy as a finger, and it is not such an incredible thing.

Tang Ling rubbed his chin, looked at Shangguan Xiu with bright eyes, and said faintly: "Shangguan Xiu, you have an army of 400,000, and now you have to deduct 4 million taels of gold, as well as 150 million taels of silver, it can be said that you want people and money, except for the windy rivers and mountains, you have everything, you let me, how can you not worry."

Her feelings for Shangguan Xiu are very complicated. Shangguan Xiu's existence can be said to be the biggest threat to her, and Shangguan Xiu's existence is also the biggest guarantee for Fengguo, and even she feels that she is becoming more and more inseparable from Shangguan Xiu.

For her, Shangguan Xiu is like a needle and a thorn buried in her heart, keeping him is a hidden danger, she doesn't want to keep him, and she can't pull it out.

Shangguan Xiu looked at Tang Ling's scrutinizing gaze, sighed secretly, and said: "Your Majesty only needs to remember one thing, I will never betray the Wind Country, and in my lifetime, I will always adhere to the principle of respecting orthodoxy." ”

Tang Ling blinked his big watery eyes and asked with a smile: "Then in your heart, who is the orthodoxy of the Wind Country?"

"Whoever is the emperor is orthodox. No matter what means he used to ascend the throne at the beginning, as long as he sits on the throne, he is the emperor of the orthodoxy of the wind. I've always been sticking to this belief and I've never changed. Shangguan Xiu Zhengse said.

"You have saved me several times, all because of this belief"

"I owe only allegiance to the country. ”

"I see. Shangguan Xiu said this, which is equivalent to solving the mystery in her heart, Shangguan Xiu saved her, in fact, he was not saving her as a person, but just saving Fengguo and sticking to his philosophy.

She said with a smile: "Shangguan Xiu, you are really patriotic."

Shangguan Xiu's outspokenness made Tang Ling feel indescribably sad. In Shangguan Xiu's mind, she turned out to be just the emperor of the Wind Country, and Shangguan Xiu saved her just because she couldn't die, and her death would cause civil strife in the Wind Country.

There is nothing more hurtful than this, and Tang Ling's self-esteem has also been greatly frustrated because of Shangguan Xiu's words.

Now that he has made everything clear, Shangguan Xiu also wants to say everything at once. He said in a condensed voice: "The foundation of the Gale country is also integrated with the blood and sweat of the Shangguan family, as the descendant of the Shangguan family, I have the responsibility to protect the Gale for thousands of generations, at least in my generation, when I do everything I can to make the Wind Country strong, who dares to covet the wind country, even if I am crushed, I will fight to the death with it." ”

"That's a good point, so I should applaud you now, Shangguan Xiu" Tang Ling had a smile on his face, but his eyes were as cold as ice.

She slowly stood up from the bed, took a deep breath, and said in a condensed voice: "Shangguan Xiu, you may be a good loyal minister, but you will never be a good husband of me. ”

"I don't want to see you now. Tomorrow, you don't have to go to court, you can not use it to go to court in the future, I don't want to see you go out again"

It was rare for Tang Ling to be so attentive to anyone, but now, she felt that her intentions had not been reciprocated, but she was also thrown to the ground by Shangguan Xiu and trampled to pieces. This made her unbearable, and it stabbed her self-esteem.

Shangguan Xiu took a deep breath, looked directly at Tang Ling for a moment, nodded, bowed down and said, "Weichen retires" After speaking, he didn't stop at all, turned around and left.

For this situation, he has long been accustomed to it, and when he meets Tang Ling, which time does not end in unhappiness, this has almost become the norm between the two of them.
