The system swallowed an eagle before it digested it

When Guan Hong was mentioned, Nangong Hua's eyes brightened.

Tang Zheng caught the change in Nangong Hua's expression, and continued: "Grandpa Guan will also go with you. My nephew promises that Grandpa Guan will take good care of Xiaomeng. As for the third prince, he will come back without his life."

Tang Zheng exuded a cold killing intent all over his body, and the determination in his eyes made Nangong Hua shake.

"Okay! I will secretly send someone to follow and protect your safety as much as possible."

"Nephew, you must take good care of Xiaomeng. Uncle Shi only has such a daughter, so nothing will happen to her."

Tang Zheng stood up and bowed to Nangong Hua. This action made Nangong Xiaomeng's beautiful eyes turn red, and the way she looked at Tang Zheng showed a different emotion.

the next morning.

Tang Zheng and Nangong Xiaomeng went to the palace to meet the Holy Majesty. The Majesty was a little surprised that the Nangong family wanted to send a luthier to support him, but he still agreed.

An elite team was specially dispatched to be responsible for the safety of the Third Prince. Hearing the Holy Majesty's words, Tang Zheng's heart trembled, and he had a deep understanding of the Lord of Tianyuan in front of him.

Their plans were all seen through by the Holy Majesty. If the third prince died in battle, after returning to the imperial capital, Tang Zheng believed that the Holy Majesty would suspect him in an instant.

Because of this, the Nangong family has become an ally of the northern border in the eyes of the Holy One.

The third prince was granted the title of General Zhendong, ordered to quell the war in the east, and led [-] troops to Jiangli City.

The luthiers of the Nangong family, led by Nangong Xiaomeng, assisted the soldiers in fighting.

Tang Zheng still held the position of marshal, but he had no military power, even a bare-bones commander, he still had to obey the orders of the third prince.

The Holy Majesty's intention is very obvious, that is to let the people in the world know that the Marshal of the Northern Territory is only fit to assist the prince and cannot lead troops.

If you want military power, you can only stay in the north forever.

Tang Zheng had expected this a long time ago, and didn't take it to heart at all.After retiring from the court, the third prince invited all the generals to a banquet and came to the main hall as guests.

Nangong Xiaomeng's company made the third prince very excited, and he was all motivated.She planned in her heart that when she returned to the imperial capital, she would ask her father to give her a marriage and bring Nangong Xiaomeng back to the palace.

With her father's will, Nan Gonghua would not dare to refuse, even if Xiaomeng didn't accept it in her heart, she could only obey herself.

The third prince believes that with his own efforts, he will definitely be able to capture Nangong Xiaomeng's heart, it just takes some time.

"Your Highness, what do you think about the war in the East?" asked the accompanying lieutenant general.

Everyone knows well that letting the prince lead the troops is no different from sending them to death.

Applying the art of war learned in the palace to the battlefield is completely on paper and will undoubtedly lose.

Before setting off, the generals had to test it out to see how much talent the third prince had.

With Nangong Xiaomeng present, the third prince immediately wanted to show off, and ordered someone to bring up the topographic map of the Eastern Territory.

In the past few days, the third prince has done a lot of homework. After all, the battlefield is not a place for joking, and there is a risk of losing his life at any time.

Even if he is a prince, how many people are willing to sacrifice their lives for him when he is actually on the battlefield?

Being born in the royal family and being able to live to such an age already shows that the third prince is by no means a fool.

"Come on! Generals, please take a look. Although the monster army is retreating here, it is not far from Jiangli City. It may attack again at any time."

When the third prince spoke his thoughts, the generals nodded and listened attentively.

Tang Zheng stood aside and watched quietly. He had learned some experience in the battle with the demon clan in the frontier.

Right now, many loopholes have been discovered in the analysis of the third prince, and I believe the other generals are also well aware of it.

Due to my status, I can't point it out directly, so I can only pretend to ask for advice humbly.

At the banquet, the third prince glanced at Tang Zheng, with a smirk on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly said: "This Palace has decided that this time, Tang Zheng will lead the vanguard army to quell the war in the Eastern Territory and inspire the soldiers! Show off your style!"

"I heard that in the northern border, you are the vanguard army commanded. You should be very experienced. I wonder if Marshal Tang is competent?"

The third prince chuckled, his tone didn't sound like a question, but an order.

"Your Highness is wise!"

"The minister has no objection."

"Marshal Tang will surely make another great achievement!"

"..."

The generals got up one after another and toasted Tang Zheng. This was a good time to flatter. Everyone had heard about the grievances between the third prince and Tang Zheng.

Before Tang Zheng could answer, Nangong Xiaomeng took the lead, "Your Highness, the main force in this battle is the iron-blooded wolf cavalry of the Xiao family, who are responsible for the charge. Would it be inappropriate for Tang Zheng to join rashly?"

The generals seemed to be frozen, the hand that raised the wine glass was not put down, nor was it continued to be held.

The iron-blooded wolf cavalry of the Xiao family could be called the charge of the tiger and wolf masters. It was not only out of place for Tang Zheng to join with the imperial army, but it also showed that the third prince's IQ was lacking.

Instead of taking advantage of the advantages of the army, he changed the way to let the soldiers die. How can such a general lead his troops?

The embarrassing smile of the third prince froze on his face, he was outspoken just now, he just wanted Tang Zheng to die, he didn't think too much about it, now Nangong Xiaomeng pointed out the consequences, and he couldn't get off the stage at all.

Out of anger for Tang Zheng, a beautiful smile appeared on Nangong Xiaomeng's face, before continuing to watch the third prince's joke, Tang Zheng smiled and said:

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your appreciation!"

"To be honest, during the battle between the northern border and the demon clan, I have a lot of experience in how to lead the vanguard and break through the demon army's defense line. I will definitely live up to your highness's expectations!"

After saying that, Tang Zheng directly drank the wine in his glass, and before leaving, he helped the third prince out of the siege.

After leaving the palace, on the carriage, Nangong Xiaomeng asked Tang Zheng puzzled: "The third prince just wanted you to die, why did you agree to him? Isn't this following his wishes?"

Tang Zheng nodded, smiling unabated, "I know you are venting your anger on me, don't worry, I never make uncertain decisions."

Nangong Xiaomeng blushed suddenly, her eyes dodged, she didn't dare to look directly at Tang Zheng's gaze, and retorted in a voice the size of a mosquito:

"Who...who vented their anger on you? I just don't want you to die in vain."

Tang Zheng deliberately turned his head to look at the other side, and said in a strange voice: "Okay! Then thank you Miss Nangong."

The next second, there was the sound of the two playing in the carriage. The steward of the piano building outside heard this and shook his head with a smile.

……

Two days later.

There was only one day left before he left to travel to the east, and before he left, His Majesty authorized each general to go to the treasury to pick out a handy weapon or a life-saving magic weapon.

After Tang Zheng heard the news, he couldn't help but admire the magnanimity of the Holy Majesty.

The treatment in the imperial capital is different, and you can go to the national treasury before you go out. The generals are full of excited smiles, clamoring to choose a prefecture-level magic weapon.

On the battlefield, being able to take out a ground-level magic weapon is unreasonable.

When they came to the palace again, Tang Zheng and others were taken to the treasury, surrounded by heavy guards, and those with the worst cultivation were in the Realm Condensation Realm.

The resplendent and magnificent building has six floors, the Holy One allowed everyone to go to the fourth floor, and take away everything they like.

However, each person is only allowed to bring one piece, and when they return in triumph, they can come again.

Tang Zheng went directly to the fourth floor. He who owns the system, what can't he buy in the store?

Tang Zheng didn't look at whether something was suitable or not, he only looked at whether it was expensive, Tang Zheng would look for every magic weapon in the store, and then compare the prices.
