Film and television actress, she has many children and good fortune
Chapter 335: Ink Rain and Clouds - Wan Ning 10
The space was already small and they could only hear each other's breathing, which made the relationship between them even more ambiguous.
"Princess..." he called her in a hoarse voice.
In this small space where no one could disturb them, the two of them couldn't help themselves...
She was interrupted by Wan Ning in the middle of the conversation. She didn't want anything to happen between her and him here, and they might be watched by others.
京中
When Emperor Hong Xiao was using his private treasury, he suddenly found that his private treasury was empty. He felt like he was struck by lightning and ran quickly towards the empty place.
The private vault was originally filled with valuables, but now all the items are missing. He doesn't know why his private vault has suddenly become empty. Emperor Hong Xiao's heart is filled with confusion and fear of the unknown.
Even the thing that caused his private vault to be emptied, whether it was a thief or a ghost, did not leave any clues.
He thought that even if it was a thief who wanted to take away his private vault, it would be impossible for him to leave no clues, and it would be even more impossible for him to come and go easily in the palace without alerting the palace guards. Moreover, his private vault was in a dark room, and even those who were closest to him and trusted the most did not know the switch of the dark room.
What a ghost! Emperor Hong Xiao, who never believed in ghosts and gods, was so frightened by what he saw and what he thought in his mind that he broke out in a cold sweat, making him even more panicked.
The national treasury, he suddenly thought of the national treasury. His own private treasury was gone, so what about the national treasury? Suddenly, he recalled the recent behavior of the minister in charge of the national treasury. He was so unnatural, always looking like he had something to report, but he was hesitant to speak. His bad premonition became stronger and stronger.
Emperor Hong Xiao could not wait any longer, and he hurriedly summoned several ministers in charge of the national treasury into the palace, from whom he got the answer he least wanted.
Just as he had just expected, all the valuable finances in the national treasury were looted by the thieves. The national treasury contained not only cash, but also this year's tax revenue in Beijing, as well as cash that had been approved but not allocated to various provinces and regions. All of them disappeared overnight.
The same was true for the arsenal. All the weapons disappeared, leaving only the granary intact.
The only thing to be thankful for is that taxes from other towns and counties have not yet been collected this year.
Emperor Hong Xiao didn't know how to deal with this sudden change. After he ascended the throne, he had great ambitions in his heart, thinking that with his own abilities, he would definitely achieve something. But now the national treasury is empty, what else can he do?
Emperor Hong Xiao was hit hard by the loss of the national treasury. Now he feels that the throne under his butt is even more precarious. The current situation in the Great Yan Kingdom is very unfriendly to him.
Due to internal and external troubles, he has not yet secured the throne. If the news of the inexplicable loss of the national treasury spreads during his reign.
Well, not to mention that he is eyeing the throne, the ministers will have objections, and the Queen Mother will probably support an emperor to replace him.
The minister in charge of the national treasury said: "I really can't understand it. The national treasury is a heavily guarded place. The guards take turns on duty. I and others count and check every day. How could the valuable items in the national treasury disappear overnight?"
"Your Majesty, I believe that the disappearance of the national treasury overnight could not be caused by human beings, but rather a punishment from heaven."
……
To this day, Wan Ning still has no idea how much panic her emptying of the national treasury has caused to Emperor Hong Xiao and those guarding the treasury.
They walked all the way towards Dai State. The further they got to Dai State, the more remote the place became. Fortunately, they had all kinds of equipment and good food, so they treated the whole journey as a tour and enjoyed the scenery, feeling very relaxed.
In some places, she couldn't stand the bumpy ride of the carriage, so she got off and walked.
In fact, ever since their close contact that day, Xiao Heng's gaze had been following her closely, vaguely.
After another two days of traveling, they stopped at an inn due to rain. Under Wan Ning's deliberate guidance, she and Xiao Heng officially broke that layer of window paper.
Even though Xiao Heng had been mentally prepared, this was not the first time, and he still felt a moment of loss and heartache.
This is not the first time I feel sad for her. I feel sorry for the suffering she endured in Dai State.
Wan Ning looked at the beautiful curve of his lips. He was the most handsome male protagonist she had ever met in the little world she had experienced.
She rested her head in his arms and he bent down to kiss her.
She put her slender arms around his neck and responded to him, and he stopped after a while.
Wan Ning said softly, "The rain has stopped. We should continue our journey tomorrow morning."
Xiao Heng couldn't help but kiss her blushing face again: "Why don't you rest here for a few days before continuing on your journey?"
Wan Ning shook her head slightly, "No." Now that everyone has eaten, it's time to get down to business.
In fact, the reason why she wanted to take Xiao Heng down was, firstly, because she was attracted by his looks, and secondly, she wanted to pull him into her own camp. Even though he was loyal to the emperor and the country, and loyal to Emperor Hong Xiao, and had this kind of relationship with her, he should think carefully before doing things for Emperor Hong Xiao.
Third, she thought he had good genes, was good-looking, and was both civil and military. Since she had the ambition to sit in that position, she must want to leave descendants. The genes of her future child's father must be excellent. If that is not possible, it is not impossible to kill the father and leave the children behind.
Xiao Heng put his arms around her waist and rested his head on her neck. He inexplicably felt a chill on his back.
While Wan Ning and Xiao Heng were on their way, although Emperor Hong Xiao in the capital had blocked the news of the loss of the national treasury early, rumors still leaked out. Prince Cheng made a big fuss about the spending of money and tried several times.
It was all because Concubine Li of Emperor Hong Xiao generously took out her money to subsidize Emperor Hong Xiao. The money could solve the crisis temporarily, but it was not enough to sustain it for too long.
The further Wan Ning and Xiao Heng walked, the more remote the place became. Xiao Heng felt more and more that something was wrong, and alarm bells immediately started ringing in his heart.
He finally couldn't help but asked the question in his mind: "Princess, are we going in the wrong direction?" This direction was obviously the direction to the border between Dai and Dayan.
What was the princess doing at the border between Dai and Yan?
She was wearing a white gauze dress and turned around slowly. A few strands of hair brushed across her fair face, making her delicate features even more charming. She had a bright smile on her face, so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off her, and his heart uncontrollably skipped a beat.
The smile on Wan Ning's face froze for a moment, and she opened her red lips slightly: "Yes, it's this direction."
She always seeks revenge, and now that she has come here, she would be unhappy if she doesn't take revenge.
Wan Ning originally planned to get that position first, but after she traveled through time, she observed that the situation was now quite unfavorable to her, and the things that were robbed were always not legitimate.
For thousands of years, men have always been in power. How could they easily allow a woman to climb over their heads?
If she seizes that position right away, it will definitely cause unrest, and various forces will revolt under various names to fight for that position.
So she changed her mind and started to create trouble for Emperor Hong Xiao, making his already unstable throne even more difficult.
With the treasury empty, King Cheng will feel that he has a greater chance of winning, and the struggle with Emperor Hong Xiao will slowly come to the surface. When both of them suffer losses, that will be the time for her to reap the benefits.
By creating conflicts between Emperor Hong Xiao and Prince Cheng, as well as the restless power of the Queen Mother, it would be easier for her to take that position.
During this period of time, she accumulated wealth, developed her own power, and at the same time dealt with her mortal enemy, the Dai Kingdom.
"Princess, do you know that ahead is the border between Dai State and our Great Yan State?" Xiao Heng frowned slightly, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
He did not agree with the princess continuing to go to the border. Dai and Dayan had always been hostile forces. Dayan valued culture over military and reduced some military expenditures, making it slightly weaker than Dai in terms of military power.
Even if the princess went to Dai as a hostage in exchange for peace between the two countries, there would be frictions along the border from time to time. If the princess insisted on going and her identity was exposed, the consequences would be disastrous.
"I know, I just want to go and take a look." She replied calmly. She had to vent the anger of the original owner. The Great Yan Kingdom did not have that ability, but she had her own way. Besides, she also wanted to see the Dai people living in the sheepfold, dancing in front of her, and pleasing her.
Xiao Heng looked at her with a complicated expression and fell into a brief silence for a moment. It seemed that the princess was determined to go. The border was not as good as the Great Yan Kingdom. Xiao Heng was now worried that he did not bring enough people to protect her.
The princess made her way along the way with new objects that no one had ever seen, such as matchboxes and flashlights... She earned a lot of money. This wealth was very eye-catching. If it weren't for the guards who wore official uniforms and carried weapons to intimidate some people with bad intentions, she would have encountered a lot of trouble on the way.
Wan Ning was a little tired, and a hint of impatience appeared on her face, "Xiao Heng, I'm a little tired, can we stop and rest for a while?"
Her voice was sweet and soft, and her coquettish tone immediately softened his heart.
Xiao Heng looked at the sky. The sun was about to set. Then he observed the surrounding terrain. There were mountains and water here. It was a good place to set up camp.
Xiao Heng: "Okay, let's set up camp here and rest."
Xiao Heng said to everyone: "Stay where you are and rest."
The guards stopped immediately and began to set up simple tents in an open space.
When she stopped to rest, Wan Ning took out a telescope and looked around the area. She had to climb to a higher place in front to see farther.
Wan Ning instructed Lan Xin and Yue Ying, "You two pack up here first. I'll go up and take a look."
After giving the order, she began to climb up the hillside.
There is a small path on the slope, which is a path that people often walk on.
Lan Xin and Yue Ying looked at each other. The princess didn't want them to follow, but they were worried about leaving the princess alone.
Lan Xin suddenly thought of someone.
She hurriedly ran towards Duke Su.
"Duke Su, where did our princess go by herself? I am really worried about her. Please help me, Duke Su..." Lan Xin pointed in the direction where Wan Ning left, without finishing her words.
Then Duke Su immediately put down the tools he was using to build the tent and followed her.
Xiao Heng caught up with the man and asked, "What are you doing there? Do you know how dangerous it is to be alone?"
Wan Ning stopped and turned her head to look at Xiao Heng who was catching up with her. She blinked at him and replied softly, "The higher you stand, the farther you can see. I want to go up and take a look. Besides, don't you still have me to protect me? It's okay. Don't worry."
Well, besides the guards and Xiao Heng, she also relied on the grenades and guns she exchanged from the system space.
"I'll go up with you." After saying that, Xiao Heng looked back. They had already walked a distance and no one was following them. He immediately held her hand.
Wan Ning's eyes curved and a faint blush appeared on her face.
Looking at her charming appearance, his heart moved and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.
If there was no one around, could he... At this moment, his mind was filled with all sorts of images.
Wan Ning didn't know that Xiao Heng was imagining some scenes that are not suitable for children. She felt his hand getting slightly hot and tried to pull it away, but failed. Instead, he held it even tighter.
She turned her head to look at him and found that his ears were turning red. Over these days, she had gotten to know him better. Although he looked aloof, he was actually a teenager who easily thought about many things. He must have thought of some scenes that were not suitable for children.
The mountain was steep and there was land inside. After climbing to the top, Wan Ning pulled her hand out of Xiao Heng's big hand.
She took the telescope and put on the multiplying mirror. With an additional multiplying mirror, she could see farther. She adjusted it and tried to wait and see. Well, they were almost at the border between the two countries.
"What is this?" Xiao Heng asked with great interest as she took out another new object.
Every time she took out an item, it was something he had never seen before. Each item had its own magical features, and he felt that each item was priceless.
He was wearing the watch she gave him. Since he had the watch, it became much easier for him to tell time. He no longer had to look at the sky to estimate what time it was, or ask his subordinates what time it was.
Today she took out an object he had never seen before. In her hand she was holding a black, two-finger-wide round object inlaid with two thin and transparent pieces of glass.
At the same time, he had a peculiar feeling that the belongings she took out seemed not to belong to their era.
"This is a telescope." Wan Ning put it down and handed it to him.
Xiao Heng took it subconsciously and, imitating her, put the telescope to his eyes.
Xiao Heng widened his eyes in disbelief, put the telescope down, picked it up again, and confirmed it repeatedly.
"This telescope can see very far, it's amazing." He was amazed at the function of the telescope.
"I think this treasure called a telescope is more suitable for use in combat."
Using a telescope to command combat can not only reduce casualties, but also observe enemy forces and military intelligence.
The telescope can be used as an important weapon by military generals to observe the enemy and command operations.
But what is the princess doing at the border with this?
The princess came to the border between the two countries without telling Emperor Hong Xiao and was unwilling to explain it to him. This telescope can be regarded as an important weapon in warfare, so it must have been brought out without telling Emperor Hong Xiao. He is now very worried that the telescope will fall into the hands of the enemy, which will be very disadvantageous to the Great Yan Kingdom.
The Great Yan State was the weaker party in the war. If the enemy had a telescope...
