In the court, listening to the intention of the envoy of Ming Ningnan, Cai Xiao and Song Sheng secretly rejoiced. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is a deep blood feud between Shangguan Xiu and Ningnan, the Fengguo has twice fought against Ningnan, Shangguan Xiu has participated, especially in the second battlefield, Shangguan Xiu led the Zhenjun army to fight a big circle in Ningnan, and countless Ningnan people died in his hands, and even in the later stage of the war, Shangguan Xiu ate the flesh of the Ningnan people and drank the blood of the Ningnan people.

Song Sheng said on the spot: "Our country and Ningnan have a deep relationship with each other, and they do not trust each other, and in order to annihilate the powerful Besa State, the two countries must work together and work together. ”

Tang Ling secretly frowned, let Shangguan Xiu go to Ningnan, wouldn't that mean letting him go to death? The eldest grandson Huaide once offered the conditions of 10,000 taels of gold, 10,000 hectares of fertile land, and the title of marquis to buy Shangguan Xiu's head, if he visited Ningnan, it would be like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and I am afraid that there will be no return.

She picked up the handwritten letter of the eldest grandson Huaide and asked, "This letter was written by the eldest grandson Huaide himself?"

Hearing this, the envoy of Ningnan frowned and asked, "The Emperor of the Wind Country is questioning His Majesty's letter?"

Tang Ling snorted coldly and did not speak again. Eldest Sun Huaide had written a letter to Fengguo before, and she also knew his notes, this letter seemed to be indeed the notes of Eldest Sun Huaide, but this was different from the information she and Shangguan Xiu had obtained, and the eldest grandson Huaide was obviously seriously injured and unconscious, so how could he get up from the bed and write this letter?

She looked at Shangguan Xiu, who frowned slightly, his eyes lowered, and she didn't know what he was thinking. Tang Ling paused for a while, and Fang said to the envoy of Ningnan: "How can a dignified prince visit Ningnan rashly, this matter is absolutely impossible!"

The envoy of Ningnan straightened his waist and said: "His Royal Highness Guogong's visit to our country is a manifestation of your country's goodwill and sincere cooperation with our country. ”

Tang Ling was furious when he heard this, his apricot eyes shot two terrifying lights, and he said in a deep voice: "You are so bold!"

"Since I dare to visit your country, I have no intention of returning to my homeland alive, if the emperor of the Wind Country thinks that the words of the lower are unpleasant, even if he kills the lower ones, there will be no complaints in the lower ones, if he can use the death of the subordinate to highlight the evil intentions of your country, and he will also die in the lower without regrets!" This Ningnan envoy was also horizontal, in front of Tang Ling, he did not back down, his neck was stiff, he was full of confidence when he spoke, and he really put his personal life and death out of the way.

Tang Ling laughed angrily, and said softly, "Don't you dare to kill you?"

As he spoke, four Praetorian Guard warriors walked in from outside the main hall, and they all intervened to salute and said, "Your Majesty!"

"Take down this thief, send his dog's head, and send it back to Ningnan!"

"Haha!" Ningnan's envoy was not afraid of sè, but laughed on his back, his eyes full of contempt and contempt. Before the Praetorian Guard warrior could get close to him, he turned and walked out.

"Wait a minute!" Cai Xiao suddenly stepped out of the queue to stop the Praetorian Guard warrior, and he said slowly: "His Royal Highness Guogong, the body of a daughter, how can he visit your Ningnan hastily, and how can you Ningnan ensure the safety of His Royal Highness Guogong?"

"Your Majesty, in your letters, has made a solemn commitment to ensure the safety of Your Highness during his visit to our country, and, as a sign of good faith, Your Majesty has revoked the decree previously offered for the reward. Our country is full of sincerity, and your country, hum!"

Cai Xiao didn't ask any more, but raised his eyes to look at Tang Ling. His questioning seems to be commonplace, but in fact, Ningnan's sincerity has been asked, and now, if Shangguan Xiu still refuses to go to Ningnan, it will seem that he is too timid, and if the two countries do not reach cooperation because of this, then the responsibility is only on him.

Shangguan Xiu was Wu Peng, who was forced to death on the grounds of cowardice and cowardice, and now, Cai Xiao threw the same problem on his head to see how he responded. He agreed to go to Ningnan, nine deaths, if he didn't agree to go to Ningnan, he would be following in Wu Peng's footsteps.

Cai Xiao looked silent on the surface, but every word he said was a word for words.

Shangguan Xiu couldn't understand Cai Xiao's thoughts, he laughed secretly in his heart, this time, Cai Xiao was wrong.

Don't look at him frowning all the time on the surface, as if he is unwilling, but in fact, he is very willing to go to Ningnan for this trip.

Tang Ling looked at Cai Xiao, then at the envoy of Ningnan, and finally, her gaze moved to Shangguan Xiu's face, and said softly, "Guogong, how do you plan to do it?"

Shangguan Xiu laughed out loud and said, "Since Lord Cai has already asked about the sincerity of the people of Ningnan, if I don't accept the invitation, won't it seem that I am too timid and cowardly, and my country is too insincere? ”

Tang Ling's brows furrowed, and he said meaningfully: "Guogong can think clearly, going to Beijing to Tianjing, thousands of miles away, the road is long, if Guogong is unwilling to go, no one can force Guogong to go." ”

Shangguan Xiu understood Tang Ling's worries about him and his voice, he pretended to be expressionless, glanced at Cai Xiao and Ningnan's envoy, and said proudly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will never be coerced by anyone, and the minister will visit Ningnan voluntarily!"

It seemed that Shangguan Xiu was angry with Cai Xiao, but Tang Ling could hear the resoluteness in his tone. Tang Ling stared at him for a long time, that is, he did not nod in agreement, nor did he object, but said to the Praetorian Guard warrior: "Take the Ningnan envoy to the pavilion to rest." ”

"The Emperor of the Wind Country hasn't given a clear explanation yet...... "The envoy of Ningnan refused to leave, but the Praetorian Guard warriors on the left and right had already stepped forward without saying anything and dragged him out.

After the envoy from Ningnan left the main hall, Tang Ling looked at Shangguan Xiu again and asked, "Does Guogong really plan to visit Ningnan?"

Shangguan Xiu said: "Between our country and Ningnan, it is true that the mustard is too deep, this time we want to work together to conquer the country of Besa, I will go to Ningnan to talk to the puppet emperor, but it is also conducive to my country's plan." ”

Tang Ling pondered for a moment, sighed tiredly, raised his hand slightly, and the female official standing next to him sang: "If there is something to do, play early, and if there is nothing to retreat from!"

The ministers had nothing to do, and the female officials announced their retirement from the court.

Cai Xiao and Song Sheng walked out together, and when they left the main hall, Song Sheng said with a smile: "I didn't expect Shangguan Xiu to agree to visit Ningnan so easily. ”

"If he doesn't agree, he can't!" Cai Xiao sneered: "Lord Song, don't forget, how Shangguan Xiu sat on the throne of the general. If he did not dare to accept the invitation of the Ningnan people, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face? The prestige and prestige he had worked so hard to build up in the army would be in vain. ”

Song Sheng couldn't help but smile on his back, and said, "This time, Shangguan Xiu lifted a stone and hit his own feet. The people of Ningnan hate Shangguan Xiu to the core, once he enters the realm of Ningnan, he is afraid that he will never come back. ”

Cai Xiao narrowed his eyes and said, "Even if the people of Ningnan are willing to let him come back, you and I must not miss this opportunity and let him return to the Wind Country!"

Song Sheng's eyes lit up, he restrained his smile, nodded with a deep gaze, and said faintly: "Think long-term! Lord Cai, this opportunity is rare, you and I have to plan carefully!"

"Visiting my house?"

"Lord Cai, please!" "Hehe! Lord Song, please!"

The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

Entering the imperial study, Tang Ling immediately turned back and said urgently to Shangguan Xiu, who followed up: "Ah Xiu, are you crazy? Can't you see that it is a ploy for the people of Ningnan to invite you to visit this time?"

"It's a ploy!"

"Then you still ......"

"It must be Xin Jiyao's plan!" Shangguan Xiu said firmly: "My strategy may be able to deceive other Ningnan people, but I am afraid I may not be able to deceive Xin Jiyao." She must have been suspicious, so she came up with a plan to invite me to visit Ningnan to explore my reality!"

"What if you don't go?"

"She'll think I have a ghost in my heart and won't dare to go. ”

"What if you go?"

"She'll ...... Kill me. Shangguan Xiu said with a smile.

"What?"

"If I really go to Ningnan, Xin Jiyao is afraid that she will not be able to determine whether my country's plot is Ningnan or Besa, with her character, when she is indecisive and difficult to make an accurate judgment, she will think of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, and never suffer in the future, as long as she kills me, no matter what the Wind Country is secretly plotting, it will be greatly frustrated. ”

When Tang Ling heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he nervously grabbed Shangguan Xiu's hand. Shangguan Xiu continued: "However, this risk is worth taking! In this national war, our country's plan is to divide the troops into three routes, the Zhenjun army on the lower road can hide in Shah, and the two corps on the middle road can also hide in the deep mountains and old forests, the only trouble is to go on the road, and the upper road is the core of the entire offensive plan. How can a million-strong army not arouse the suspicion of the people of Ningnan and be stationed at the junction of Ningjun and Ningnan? This question has been bothering me for a long time, and now, this problem can be solved openly. ”

"If you visit Ningnan, our million-strong army can be stationed on the border between the two countries in the name of righteousness, so as to deter Ningnan and make the people of Ningnan dare not act rashly against you!" Tang Ling was also an extremely smart person, and immediately understood the meaning of Shangguan Xiu's words.

He nodded and said, "That's right, I am the Duke of the Kingdom, and Your Majesty is worried about my safety during my visit to Ningnan, so it is reasonable and reasonable to mobilize a million troops to the border between the two countries as a deterrent." If I am really in danger in Ningnan, then my country's dispatch of troops will be even more famous and justifiable, and morally, my country can take the initiative!"

"Ah Xiu has calculated everything. Tang Ling muttered.

"Yes! Xin Jiyao is quite scheming, but this time, she showed a flaw......

Before he finished speaking, Tang Ling suddenly interrupted with a sharp voice: "You have calculated everything, but you have missed yourself, you know that Xin Jiyao is going to kill you, and you still want to go to Tianjing?"

Shangguan Xiu didn't expect her to be so excited, he was stunned for a moment, and said: "Xiang'er, I told you when the general committed suicide, sometimes, someone has to make sacrifices, as long as the death is worthwhile, as long as the death is meaningful, the death is deserved!"
