005. Temptation
For Ding Dangxiang, Nuo Yuanxiu really doesn't like it very much.
What is the difference between this common man who defiled his granddaughter's innocent body, but after he became prosperous, he actually took the princess as his wife, soared to prosper, and ignored his granddaughter, what is the difference between this and disliking the chaff? Even if Mimi repeatedly said the reason, as an old man, Nuo Yuanxiu still couldn't accept this fact.
However, if you abandon prejudice and just look at the strength of that Ding Dangxiang, Nuo Yuanxiu has to admit that this person may really be a once-in-a-century ...... No, it may even be a once-in-a-millennium talent.
In just over a year, the Houtu Kingdom has unified the Eastern Kingdoms and reached a bargaining chip that can negotiate with the Spark Country. This is not something that anyone can easily achieve.
Moreover, its prediction of the movement of the demon kingdom has been successfully realized several times. In the early days when the Demon Seal had just been broken three years ago, it gave a strategy of never fighting the Demon Kingdom. Although this strategy made him a traitor at the time, it may be the right choice now.
For the Demon Kingdom, many of Ding Dangxiang's judgments can almost be said to be completely correct, and the decisions he made are exactly right. It's a pity that in this third demon sealing war, no one in the whole country, including the first emperor, believed what he said.
Now that I think about it, did those demon kingdoms really plan to invade the Thick Earth Country in the first place? If it wasn't for the Thick Earth Country taking the initiative to participate in the war, would the other party really attack the Thick Earth Country and make the Thick Earth Kingdom suffer such heavy losses?
All of this is now unknowable. Maybe not, maybe it still will.
The only one knows. Even today's Houtu country may have really taken the worst choice. Now, the two fountains of life of the demons are imprinted in the territory of the Thick Earth Country. This has become an indisputable fact.
So...... Really re-enable Ding Dang Xiang?
For this topic, Nuo Yuanxiu really needs to think about it more.
Let's be honest. For Ding Dangxiang, a person whose strength is still only scattered immortals, Nuo Yuanxiu really doesn't believe that he can lead the Houtu Kingdom to recover the lost territory and drive away the demons.
But thinking about its exploits, people have to have a little expectation of it.
Moreover, if Ding Dangxiang was recruited, the other four ministers would definitely not say nothing. Although he is in a high position, the crime of colluding with a "traitor" is still a big or small thing......
Nuo Yuanxiu was thinking here, but Nuo Mimi on the other side seemed a little happy. She saw that Grandpa was really thinking about it. Hurriedly turned around and lay on Grandpa's back, and said with some excitement: "Grandpa! You will really meet Ding Lang, right? Ding Lang is really amazing, really really amazing!"
Being pressed by his granddaughter like this, Nuo Yuanxiu couldn't help laughing.
Yes, the Nuo family is now decrepit, what could be more important than the happiness of his granddaughter?
On the other hand, it doesn't seem to be useful to think about it all by yourself. As...... Really call Ding Dangxiang to talk about it first, maybe it will be more effective.
Thinking of this, Nuo Yuanxiu nodded: "Okay." Mimi, grandpa will rely on you once this time. ”
"Great! Mimi likes grandpa the most!"
"Hahahaha. Come on, go and bring Ding Dangxiang. Be sure to do it in secret, though. Don't make any noise. ”
The entourage nodded and left, leaving Nuo Mimi to continue to hug her grandfather happily, and she called "I like it the most" sweetly. made Nuo Yuanxiu's old face smile.
......

..................
That night, late at night.
Nuojia hall.
When the sack is opened. Ding Dang, who was tied up inside, showed his head for the first time. It was Nuo Yuanxiu, who was sitting on the front seat, dressed lightly, with a serious expression. Then the second glance was the glutinous Mimi standing next to her, obviously carefully dressed, as brilliant and beautiful as a peach blossom.
Seeing these two people, Ding Dangxiang's pupils couldn't help but dilate, and when an attendant next to him took out the cotton cloth in his mouth, he gasped a few times, was pressed and knelt in front of the two, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaguan Ding Dangxiang, I don't know if General Nuo took Xiaguan directly from the bed to this place, what advice do you have?"
Looking at the serious and serious attitude on Ding Dangxiang's face, Nuo Mimi almost smiled. She hooked her finger at one of the attendants next to her, walked to the back compartment, and asked softly, "When you tied him...... Did he sleep with the eldest princess? Did he disturb the eldest princess?"
The henchman shook his head and said softly: "No, Ding Dangxiang is sleeping alone in Beppu." The rumor that he and the eldest princess slept in a separate room is indeed true. ”
Hearing this, Nuo Mimi smiled even more, walked back to the hall, and tried her best to show her most beautiful side in front of Ding Dangxiang.
And Ding Dangxiang looked at Nuo Mimi, who was now smiling, and after rolling his eyes slightly, he couldn't help but say: "It seems that Xiaguan is because he lost power, so he let Nuo Girl want to avenge that arrow?" hehe...... I knew for a long time that this day would come sooner or later. The glutinous girl let Ding linger for two years before taking revenge, and gave Ding two more years of life, Ding, it is really 'thank you'. ”
As soon as she heard that the tone was wrong, the smile on Nuo Mimi's face disappeared immediately! But just as she wanted to explain, Nuo Yuanxiu next to her had already spoken: "Ding Dangxiang, you don't have to pretend on the old man's side." Old man knows, you seem to be very busy lately?"
Ding Dangxiang was stunned for a moment, his face was blue and white, and he didn't speak.
Nuo Yuanxiu snorted coldly and continued: "Your official position is very high, and now, you have been reduced to the point that you even have to ask for someone like Cao Kou? It seems that you really like to be an official." ”
Ding Dangxiang lowered his head: "Xiaguan...... Ashamed. ”
I like to be an official, which is not a bad thing.
At least for Nuo Yuanxiu, the Ding Dangxiang in front of him likes to be an official, likes to be a big official, and likes to climb up, which is really not a big deal.
On the contrary, this can also make Nuo Yuanxiu see through this Ding Dangxiang a little more.
Before losing power two years ago, Ding Dangxiang gave people the feeling that he was really a completely water-inaccessible character. is upright, has a good character, does not like beauty, and does not like gold and silver treasures, but he is an incorruptible person who can almost be regarded as transparent, and he can't see any "officialdom preferences" at all, and has no weaknesses at all.
When dealing with someone who has no weaknesses at all, you have to be careful and careful. Because you can never guess what is going on in his mind and what he will do next. For this kind of person, it is better to go as far as you can.
And now Nuo Yuanxiu agreed to see this Ding Dangxiang, partly because of his granddaughter's intercession, and partly because he felt that he finally saw through this Ding Dangxiang's weakness.
He likes to be an official.
He likes power.
A person who doesn't love beauty or money likes even more is the feeling of being in a high position and holding the power of killing others.
As long as you can see through such a person, then you can use it and get along with it.
Nuo Yuanxiu believes that Ding Dangxiang in front of him is such a person.
"Two years of neglect has made you a person who even Cao Kou wants to stutter. Hehe, General Ding in the past, is really ridiculous now. ”
Nuo Yuanxiu did not hesitate to ridicule his words, in this regard, Ding Dangxiang's face in front of him changed color, and he suddenly raised his head again, and glared at Nuo Yuanxiu angrily: "General Nuo! Although Ding is now at a low point, there are still a few arrogant bones! If General Nuo took Xia Guan captive just to humiliate, then Ding Mou, who will be in the future, will be developed in the future, and he will definitely repay General Nuo ten times as much!"
As soon as the words came out, after a pause, Ding Dangxiang seemed to realize how terrible the words in his mouth were, and quickly lowered his head, his face turned pale, and he didn't dare to squeak anymore.
However, although Nuo Yuanxiu was angry on his face, he still felt very happy in his heart.
The words just now at least proved that although Ding Dangxiang in front of him likes to be an official and is a little low-voiced, he still has the arrogance of being a young man, and he has momentum and perseverance.
At the same time, he is also a little impulsive, and he is not the kind of person who is extremely calm as the rumors say. In the eyes of an old officialdom like him for decades, this young man is indeed still a little immature, and he doesn't need to take it too seriously.
"Hehehe, do you want to return ten times to the old man? ”
Nuo Yuanxiu touched his beard with a sneer on his face. The glutinous Mimi next to her was so frightened that she wanted to persuade but didn't know what to say.
"Ding Dangxiang, I didn't call you here today for anything else. It's just that I've always heard that you're good at military formations and unifying the eastern countries, and you've really done a lot of credit. However, the old man still wants to see it for himself, so he can be convinced. ”
Ding Dangxiang raised his head and looked at Nuo Yuanxiu with some puzzlement.
Nuo Yuanxiu continued: "Now, you might as well give the old man a rehearsal of your military law." Let the old man see your talents. If there is indeed some permissibility, the old man will not mind introducing you to a centurion again. ”
Hearing this, Ding Dangxiang seemed to be a little stunned. After a moment, he asked again in a trembling voice, "I don't know what General Nuo wants to do...... What kind of military law is it?"
Nuo Yuanxiu closed his eyes and said with a smile: "Whatever you want." Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, you can take out any set of military methods and practice them. As long as you can get into the eyes of the old man and have a little effect, the old man will recognize you. ”
At that moment, the entourage next to him came up and untied Ding Dangxiang's rope. Ding Dangxiang stood up, thought for a while, and said, "Then, there is no need to mention ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. The lower officials had the courage to practice the strategy of fighting for Lake Biwa, which is the closest fountain of life to the capital, but they didn't know ...... Is it feasible?"
