she won't live to twenty
Chapter 44 Year Chapter
Wuming discussed with the master for a long time, about whether Wang Tianba is Lixia or not, but in the end they did not discuss why, so they had to put the matter on hold temporarily.
But the two came to a common conclusion, no matter whether Wang Tianba is a dead man or not, as long as he belongs to the faction of the Sixth Prince, if they really want to fight against the Sixth Prince in the future, they may not have much advantage.If Wuming wanted to solve Tang Zhi before, it was already very difficult, but now with the addition of a master Wang Tianba, it is even more difficult.
But Wuming was not discouraged by this.
Back to the source, her goal is to protect Nanyue and make herself live past 20 years old.The most immediate question now—that is, the hidden dangers of the hero and heroine have been resolved, how much trouble can the rest cause?
At worst, he took Nanyue with him and left Beijing.
What's more, Wuming still has the golden finger of the original plot.Although so far, everything that happened in reality is different from the original text, and the original text of "Zhenbei" only depicts the tip of the iceberg of this world.But Wuming has a vague feeling that the changes in reality are all due to her actions, but she can only flap the butterfly wings, causing a series of chain reactions, but cannot directly change anything.
For example, when she wanted to kill the hero and heroine directly, she would be disturbed by inexplicable external forces and could not complete the goal.But they can indirectly change their fate by digging traps.
So, there are a lot of things in the original text that were not influenced by her, and will still happen as usual.In other words, the original plot is still useful to her.And no matter how passive she is now, there will be two important moments in the future, which are her chances to come back.
The first thing is that this year...to be precise, on the night of the Lantern Festival next year, King Qin was seriously ill, the palace was in chaos, and the entire court was in chaos.
The second event was the Weibei War two years later.
Wuming already had preliminary arrangements in mind, and now he just needs to make sufficient preparations and wait quietly.
Just like when hunting with wolves in the wilderness many years ago, lying motionless in the cold meadow for a whole night, just waiting for the moment when the gazelle got up with its sleepy body.
Go up and kill him with one blow.
……
After the visit to Luoyan Pagoda, Wuming and Nanyue resumed their regular life of practicing martial arts at the Princess Mansion.
Tang Zhi didn't come to harass them again, nor did he go directly to the princess mansion to cut off the beard.If Tang Zhi would send some small gifts of unknown meaning to the couple's house from time to time, Wuming would have thought that they had completely faded out of this lunatic's sight.
Wuming and Nanyue are very busy practicing martial arts, and Nanfu and Weifu are also busy preparing for their wedding.No matter how miserably Nan Xiaoyi cried these days, even hurting one eye, it still couldn't change the fact that she was about to marry Wei Jiu.
Although the Nan family and the Wei family have been trying their best to block the news, the incidents between Nan Xiaoyi and Wei Jiu still spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.The people did not dare to make arrangements for the Nan and Wei families, but they taunted Nan Xiaoyi and Wei Jiu in private, but they were not soft-spoken.Anyway, the Second Miss Nan is about to marry the Nan family, and Wei Jiu is about to move out from the Wei Mansion. I heard that the mansion has been selected, and it is in the south of the city... Tsk, that place is really out of the way, it looks grand , but you really have to live in it to know how difficult it is.
In short, the two have almost become a joke among the common people.
Apart from this, the wives of Nan and Wei seemed to be very busy, but no one knew how much money Liu and the eldest family of the Wei family embezzled and how many things were embezzled.No one knew how desolate and shabby the seemingly decent marriage of the Nanwei family was in reality.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the ice layer on Changjing Lake is getting thicker and thicker. Many children slide on it with skates.
In a blink of an eye, it is New Year's Eve.
This day is the day of Nan Xiaoyi's and Wei Jiu's big wedding, and it is also the day of the Spring Festival banquet held in the palace.
The Nan and Wei families have set the wedding date today, which seems auspicious, but both parents have to leave the Spring Festival banquet before rushing to the wedding scene. At this time, it has passed noon, which shows how different the two sides are about this big wedding. focus on.
As for outsiders, getting married on the day of the Spring Festival Banquet is already auspicious, and no troublesome people will criticize anything.They even think that the two adults of Nanwei are deeply attached to the court, and they didn't rush back to do housework until after the Spring Festival banquet, which is really admirable.
At the Spring Festival banquet, civil and military officials, relatives of the emperor and their relatives took their seats in turn.Even envoys from neighboring countries came to wish the country of Qin the peace and prosperity and the king of Qin with all sorts of strange congratulatory gifts.The hall is bustling with activity, very lively.
The second master did not attend the Spring Festival banquet in the future, Wuming sat behind the master and Tang Chiyu, only a few steps away from King Qin.But she looked into the crowd from time to time, until she found a familiar little figure, her eyes settled down.
Nanyue smiled sweetly at her from a distance through the noisy crowd.
Nameless smiled lightly and drank a cup of tea.
Tang Chiyu next to him saw it, and couldn't help but touch his forehead, complaining that Wuming and Nanyue were sticky and sticky in private, but they were still flirting in the court, it was too...!She was so envious.
Si Lian has been away for almost three months. It is true that Tang Chiyu has no admiration for her, but it is also true that he cares about her as a friend and misses her. It is even more true that he accidentally had a relationship with her and was determined to be responsible for her.
All kinds of emotions mixed together, and finally became an inexplicable longing.
Tang Chiyu sighed a little lonely.
In the center of the hall, envoys from neighboring countries continued to pay tribute, and loudly said some extremely exaggerated boastful words, which made King Qin burst into laughter.However, when the envoys of the Loulan Kingdom arrived, the prosperous atmosphere in the hall dissipated quickly, and there was a sense of tension on the contrary.
Many countries sent envoys to the Great Qin Spring Festival Banquet, but most of them were small affiliated countries, but the Loulan Kingdom on the other side of the wasteland was the only one that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Great Qin Kingdom.Even, this extremely mysterious Loulan Kingdom may be somewhat stronger than Daqin.
Between Loulan and Daqin, there is a boundless wasteland.Those vicious barbarians lived in the wilderness where the environment was extremely harsh. They did not dare to compete with Loulan for territory, so they attacked the Weibei border again and again.It wasn't until Tang Chiyu went to Weibei to lead the army and frightened the barren people that they reluctantly retreated.
In the original text of "Zhenbei", the wilderness barbarians suddenly attacked Daqin two years later because of the chaos in Loulan.There are only a few sentences in the original text, to the effect that King Loulan is critically ill, and countless vicious people in Loulan took the opportunity to create chaos and bring disaster to the wilderness.Those barbarians on the wasteland couldn't survive, so they fought desperately to the south of Daqin.Later, Wei Jiu led troops into the grassland. Although he managed to suppress the barbarians in the grassland, he was also sealed off as the King of the North, but the riots caused by Loulan did not stop.King Qin had to send the seventh princess Tang Chiyu to marry him, and the Weibei War really came to an end.
Whether in reality or in the original text of the novel, the Kingdom of Loulan is powerful and mysterious.
Wuming slightly squinted his eyes, quietly looked at the high-nosed, deep-eyed, burly, and thick-haired Loulan envoy in the center of the hall, and asked Tang Zhengze softly, "Master, do you know where the second master is from?"
The second master's martial arts are not low, and his methods are treacherous and changeable.Although he lived in the palace for a few years, he never told Wuming about his past, nor did he mention his hometown.Coupled with the fact that the Second Master never appeared in the original text, he appeared extremely mysterious in Wuming's eyes.
Of course Wuming would not doubt Second Master, she just had some gossiping curiosity.
She doesn't know about Second Master's past?What about the master?
The master smiled kindly: "Do you think he is from Loulan?"
Nameless blinked and nodded: "Yeah."
She had made similar guesses a long time ago, but it was only today that she suddenly thought of asking.
The master scratched his head, thought for a while, and finally frowned and shook his head: "It doesn't look like it, it doesn't look like it."
Wuming looked at the appearance of Loulan's envoy, and then thought about the face of the second master, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Wuming is a barbarian, Second Master is also a barbarian, and Loulan is also a barbarian.However, Wuming and the second master are slender, with seductive faces, almost overwhelming the country.But the envoys of Loulan were as big as giant beasts, and their body was extremely hairy, which was really not similar to them.
Next, the envoy of Loulan was not conceited because of his national strength. He bowed respectfully to King Qin under the watchful eyes of everyone in the hall.Like the envoys of other countries, he said a few words of praise in blunt Chinese.In the end, he presented Loulan's rare treasures and sat down quietly beside him.
King Qin stroked his beard in satisfaction and laughed twice, the slightly dignified atmosphere in the hall relaxed.
But not long after, the prosperous and harmonious atmosphere in the hall was broken again.
After offering the tribute, an envoy from a small southern barbarian country imitated the etiquette of the Central Plains and bowed to the King of Qin, saying in a loud voice, "Your Majesty the King of Qin, our prince has heard that the Seventh Princess of the Qin Dynasty is very powerful and beautiful. The prince has been in love with the Seventh Princess for a long time. , I came to Daqin to attend the Spring Festival banquet this time, and it was precisely in accordance with Daqin's etiquette to help our prince propose marriage..."
King Qin's cheeks that were originally flushed from smiling gradually turned black and blue.
A small southern barbarian country the size of a palm dares to ask Da Qin for marriage, and even wants to marry the seventh princess who is the most favored by King Qin on the surface? !
This is completely slapping Qin in the face!Slap King Qin in the face!
Not only King Qin, but many officials in the palace turned dark, and many looked cautiously at Tang Chiyu who was drinking.
But this dark-skinned envoy looked extremely serious, and he didn't feel the absurdity of what he said.Seeing that King Qin didn't answer, he turned to the table: "Which one is Her Royal Highness Seventh Princess? My prince..."
Seeing that King Qin was about to get angry, Tang Zhengze suddenly patted Tang Chiyu on the shoulder calmly.
Tang Chiyu drank the wine in the glass, put the empty wine glass on the table abruptly, and interrupted the envoy: "It's me."
Tang Chiyu stood up, with a burning momentum: "Your prince wants to marry me, why?"
The Nanman envoy blinked in bewilderment, wondering why the princess couldn't understand human speech?But after all, his prince wanted to marry her back home, so he patiently repeated: "Because His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is very powerful, our prince likes you."
"How is your prince's martial arts?" Tang Chiyu asked.
"This..." The Nanman envoy looked at Tang Chiyu for a few moments and thought for a while, "It should be stronger than you, the princess."
Although Tang Chiyu has been in the army for three years, his slender figure has never changed.She has been back in Beijing for half a year now, her shoulder-length short hair has long been draped over her back, her skin that has been roughened by the wind and sand has gradually returned to smoothness, and the terrifying scars on her neck have also faded a lot.If it weren't for her strong imposing manner, at first glance, she would indeed look like a pampered lady.
In the past, people in the capital really thought that Tang Chiyu was just a vase.However, the ten arrows shot by Qiushou hit everyone in the face very powerfully.
So now the palace looked at the Nanman envoys with pity, ridicule, and vague expectations.They were slapped in the face by Tang Chiyu back then, but now seeing others being slapped in the face, it was inevitable that they felt secretly excited.
"How does your prince compare with you?" Tang Chiyu walked up to the envoy and asked again.
The Nanman envoy was very strong and was about to catch up with the one from Loulan. At this time, Tang Chiyu stood in front of him, like a small cat.
The Nanman envoy's dark cheeks were reddish, he was afraid that the Seventh Princess would fall in love with him and would not marry their prince, what should I do?But he still said honestly: "I grew up with the prince, our force should be about the same."
"Let's compare?" Tang Chiyu hooked his fingers at him.
"This... Southern barbarians don't bully women..."
Before the envoy finished speaking, Tang Chiyu closed his fingers and punched him swiftly!
The Nanman envoy instinctively protected his face, but before he could react, Tang Chiyu's second palm hit his chest!
Palm wind is terrifying.
The hall was extremely quiet, and someone heard the sound of ribs breaking.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Chiyu raised his leg violently and kicked him in the abdomen.
The Nanman envoy staggered and fell to the ground, and servants immediately came up to help him out of the hall.
There was still a dead silence in the hall, and it wasn't until a smile of appreciation appeared on King Qin's face that the rest of the guests gradually resumed their laughter.
The envoys secretly lamented the strength of the Qin State, which is why the Seventh Princess dared to be so arrogant and beat the envoys of other countries in front of countless people.Envoys from many small countries shook their heads enviously, thinking when will their country catch up with Qin?
The officials of Qin State were full of joy, and they kept praising Tang Chiyu for his superb martial arts. He was worthy of being the Seventh Princess of the dynasty, and he was worthy of being General Yunhui who fought in Weibei.
King Qin even walked down personally and poured a glass of wine for Tang Chiyu.
Tang Chiyu thanked the King of Qin, and when he walked back to the dragon chair, he asked Tang Zhengze in a low voice: "Brother, my father and emperor obviously wanted to vent their anger on me just now, but why did you let me beat that barbarian by myself?"
Tang Chiyu scratched his head in confusion.
Tang Zhengze laughed and said, "You don't want to beat him?"
"I think." Tang Chiyu said very honestly, "The prince of his family has never seen me before, so he came to propose marriage to me and said he liked me. He clearly regarded me as an item to show off. Not only did I want to beat him, but I also wanted to personally marry him." Beat their prince."
Tang Zhengze laughed loudly: "Isn't that right?"
"It's that simple?" Tang Chiyu asked puzzled, "I always feel that you pushed me up, there must be some other meaning. Nameless, what do you think?"
Nameless explained with a smile: "At that time, your father was so angry that he was looking at King Zhennan. In that case, once he opened his mouth, King Zhennan would rush back to Yunnan tomorrow, and he would immediately lead his troops to crush the Nanman Xiaoguo. The master is kind-hearted and doesn't want to see people dying, so he asked you to beat the envoy."
The King of Zhennan guards the southern border, with 30 soldiers and horses in his hand, no worse than General Yunhui like Tang Chiyu.However, Weibei was harassed by grassland barbarians, and external turmoil continued.However, Southern Xinjiang is not stable internally, and the King of Zhennan needs to send troops to suppress it from time to time.Although King Qin was also afraid of Zhennan King, he had nothing to do with him after all, so he simply reached a delicate agreement with him. Although Nanjiang and Daqin were subordinate, they did not interfere with each other and were independent.Wu Ming vaguely remembers that Tang Zhi became the puppet emperor at the end of the novel, and finally died in the hands of Wei Jiu, so Zhennan King and Zhenbei King became kings respectively, and divided up the territory of Daqin.
Tang Chiyu asked: "That is to say, I beat him, but saved his life instead?"
Nameless: "Yes."
Tang Chiyu nodded with a half understanding.
Wuming and Master Master exchanged a look, and there was a gleam of helplessness in their eyes.
Tang Chiyu was treated too well by them, she used to have a pure heart like a child.Although Tang Chiyu knew that King Qin didn't like her, he didn't know the dark, brutal and even dirty thoughts in his heart.When Tang Zhengze went out of Beijing to venture into the Jianghu, Tang Zhi took care of Tang Chiyu on his behalf, but until now she only knew that Tang Zhi was good, but she didn't know that he was a crazy lunatic.
Wuming and Master originally thought that Tang Chiyu's pure heart should have been worn away after three years of polishing in Weibei.Unexpectedly, after returning from the battlefield where fists are the last word, she has a more straightforward personality.Tang Chiyu learned how to lead troops to fight against horse thieves, and made hundreds of thousands of soldiers willingly surrender to her, but she still couldn't learn it, and she couldn't even see the intrigue.
Master and Wuming had nothing to do with each other, so they could only continue to take good care of him.
But now that the situation in Changjing is turbulent, Wuming faintly feels that she and the master are about to be unable to protect her.
Sooner or later, Tang Chiyu would come out of her ivory tower and see this devastated real world with her own eyes.
Tang Chiyu didn't notice the complicated thoughts of the two of them at this time, and only looked in the direction of King Zhennan curiously: "Speaking of King Zhennan... Hey, why didn't his little son with the same name as Wuming come to welcome the spring this year?" feast?"
Zhennan Wang's surname is Chang, and his son's single name is Ning, which happens to be exactly the same as the nameless title Changning.So every time the Spring Festival feast, Tang Chiyu couldn't help but look at the child more.
Six years ago, the young son Changning came to Beijing for the first time, and curiously followed Wuming and Tang Chiyu around for several days.Although Xiao Shizi is young, he doesn't see Tang Chiyu much, and the total of the years is less than ten days, but he can chat with her very well, and he is one of Tang Chiyu's few friends.
The master smiled and said: "The child is fifteen this year, he should have been kicked out of the house by the King of Zhennan, and went out to travel and gain experience."
"I see." Tang Chiyu didn't pay too much attention to this matter, and concentrated on eating meat.
……
On the Spring Festival banquet, there are rich dishes, a variety of drinks and drinks, and the singing and dancing in the hall is constantly lively.For the next period of time, Wuming buried his head in his meal, chatting with Tang Chiyu from time to time, or walking through the crowd to look at Nanyue from a distance.
Perhaps because of the large number of people at the banquet, Tang Zhi didn't take a second look at Wuming this time, and talked with King Qin throughout the whole process.
After the banquet was over, the Nan and Wei families rushed back to prepare for the wedding. Nanyue waved to Wuming in the crowd.
"Wait for me to come." Wuming felt warm in her heart. Although she knew that Nanyue couldn't see through the crowd, she still made a mouth shape to Nanyue from a distance.
It wasn't until Nanyue's small figure completely disappeared in the crowd that Wuming looked away, still with a faint smile on her face.
"Changning, what are you thinking about? Are you smiling so happily?" At this moment, an old voice came from not far away.
King Qin's gaze fell on Wuming at some point, and even Tang Zhi looked at her with a half-smile.
Wuming cursed inwardly, but the smile on his face did not fade in the slightest.She turned her head, and said sweetly: "Your Majesty, today is the New Year's Eve. Our Daqin Guotai Minan's weather has been smooth for a whole year. Seeing that tomorrow will be a new year, Changning is very happy."
"Hahahahaha, not bad, today is indeed a happy day." Qin Wang patted his thigh and waved to Wuming, "Chang Ning, sit down and talk with me."
Wuming nodded obediently, and sat down: "What does Your Majesty want to say?"
Qin Wang stroked his beard and thought for a while: "It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time, and I just want to talk to you casually. Whatever you think of, just say what you want, don't be restrained."
Wuming lowered his eyes, and casually told a few interesting things that happened in the capital recently, which made King Qin laugh out loud.
After a few words, the officials were almost gone, and the royal relatives also left the venue one after another.Wuming was about to stand up and bid farewell to King Qin, but he shook his head: "Changning, stay here, and come with Xiaoliu to stroll around the Imperial Garden with me, and exchange feelings."
"Father, Wuming still wants to go back with me..." Master stood up, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by King Qin displeased.
"Tsk! I just missed my granddaughter and asked her to accompany me for a stroll. Tang Zhengze, why are you so worried!" King Qin frowned, "Could it be that this palace still eats people?"
Wuming winked at Master, and said with a smile, "Master, I want to chat with His Majesty for a while, so go back and wait for me."
Wuming's grandfather's call made King Qin smile happily, and the wrinkles on his brows were squeezed together.
Only then did the master salute and leave.
Wuming and Tang Zhi followed King Qin from left to right, and walked slowly into the imperial garden.
It is clearly deep winter now, but the garden is still blooming with bright red flowers, dazzlingly beautiful in the white snow.
"Changning was right before. Today is indeed a day of great joy. The second girl of the Nan family and the boy who just found home from the Wei family just chose to get married today. Changning, you have a good relationship with the Nan family. Don’t you know?” King Qin suddenly asked with a smile.
Wuming looked away from the flowers, nodded and said: "Well, I have met Miss Nan and Master Wei's family a few times."
"How do those two children look?"
"It's all good." Wuming tilted his head.
"Then Changning, tell me, are you beautiful, or the second lady of the Nan family?" Qin Wang asked.
Nan Xiaoyi got married today, logically speaking, no matter what the facts are, Wuming should give her face and say that she is better looking.However, Wuming seemed to think carefully for a while before slowly saying: "Returning to Your Majesty, Changning is more beautiful."
King Qin was amused again and laughed out loud.
"But..." Qin Wang laughed enough, his expression gradually became serious, "The two children are already married, what about you Changning? What about you Xiaoliu? Do you have any plans?"
The smile in Wuming's eyes froze slightly.Sure enough, how could King Qin really miss her?He asked her to enter the palace for nothing more than to talk to her about the marriage.But Wuming is a little curious now, King Qin wanted to marry Tang Chiyu to a certain dude in the capital because he was afraid that she would rebel, so he wanted to keep her by his side.But what about myself?I have been very low-key these days, and I handed over the caravan to Li Zhao to manage. Why did King Qin want to marry her off?
What is her use value?
When Wuming was thinking, Tang Zhi took the lead in laughing and said, "Father, I already have a girl I like in my heart."
"Oh?" King Qin raised his eyebrows slightly, and patted Tang Zhi's shoulder with one hand, "Which girl is it? The emperor will order her to marry into your palace tomorrow."
Tang Zhi didn't speak, but looked at Wuming shyly.
This glance caused goosebumps to appear on Wuming's back, and he instinctively reached out to pull out the dagger behind him.Nameless remained motionless, his smile unchanged.
"Hahahahaha... Xiaoliu." Qin Wang laughed even more freely, "That's right, although Changning is your half-niece, she is also a girl. You are thin-skinned and talk about the woman you like in front of her." One thing, you will be ashamed."
Tang Zhi nodded, hiding the light in his eyes: "Father is right."
When it comes to marriage, it is difficult to avoid the small episode of Nanman envoys at the Spring Festival banquet today.Wuming accompanied King Qin to scold Nanman for a while, and then complimented Tang Chiyu a few times, but the topic turned back to her.
"Changning, in fact, on the day of Qiushou, I talked with Zheng Zheng about your marriage. As a master, he doesn't want to worry about you, so I have to come in person?" King Qin smiled and looked at Wuming, " These days, after much deliberation, I finally thought of a good marriage for you."
As soon as these words came out, not only did Wuming's eyes turn cold, but even Tang Zhi's fingers froze slightly.
Wuming suppressed the urge to draw the dagger, instead of refuting King Qin's words, he opened his eyes wide and looked curious, and continued to ask: "Which young master did His Majesty take a fancy to for Changning?"
"Changning, you have a noble status. Naturally, only the royal relatives are worthy of you. But you are also a princess. If you marry a royal, wouldn't it be messed up?" King Qin stroked his beard, "So I thought, I Qin’s royal relatives and relatives are not successful, so wouldn’t those from other countries be just right? I think that Loulan’s land is fertile and powerful, only a little bit worse than my great Qin. Changning, you are a foreigner. If you marry into Loulan Isn't the royal family beautiful?"
But the two came to a common conclusion, no matter whether Wang Tianba is a dead man or not, as long as he belongs to the faction of the Sixth Prince, if they really want to fight against the Sixth Prince in the future, they may not have much advantage.If Wuming wanted to solve Tang Zhi before, it was already very difficult, but now with the addition of a master Wang Tianba, it is even more difficult.
But Wuming was not discouraged by this.
Back to the source, her goal is to protect Nanyue and make herself live past 20 years old.The most immediate question now—that is, the hidden dangers of the hero and heroine have been resolved, how much trouble can the rest cause?
At worst, he took Nanyue with him and left Beijing.
What's more, Wuming still has the golden finger of the original plot.Although so far, everything that happened in reality is different from the original text, and the original text of "Zhenbei" only depicts the tip of the iceberg of this world.But Wuming has a vague feeling that the changes in reality are all due to her actions, but she can only flap the butterfly wings, causing a series of chain reactions, but cannot directly change anything.
For example, when she wanted to kill the hero and heroine directly, she would be disturbed by inexplicable external forces and could not complete the goal.But they can indirectly change their fate by digging traps.
So, there are a lot of things in the original text that were not influenced by her, and will still happen as usual.In other words, the original plot is still useful to her.And no matter how passive she is now, there will be two important moments in the future, which are her chances to come back.
The first thing is that this year...to be precise, on the night of the Lantern Festival next year, King Qin was seriously ill, the palace was in chaos, and the entire court was in chaos.
The second event was the Weibei War two years later.
Wuming already had preliminary arrangements in mind, and now he just needs to make sufficient preparations and wait quietly.
Just like when hunting with wolves in the wilderness many years ago, lying motionless in the cold meadow for a whole night, just waiting for the moment when the gazelle got up with its sleepy body.
Go up and kill him with one blow.
……
After the visit to Luoyan Pagoda, Wuming and Nanyue resumed their regular life of practicing martial arts at the Princess Mansion.
Tang Zhi didn't come to harass them again, nor did he go directly to the princess mansion to cut off the beard.If Tang Zhi would send some small gifts of unknown meaning to the couple's house from time to time, Wuming would have thought that they had completely faded out of this lunatic's sight.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the ice layer on Changjing Lake is getting thicker and thicker. Many children slide on it with skates.
In a blink of an eye, it is New Year's Eve.
This day is the day of Nan Xiaoyi's and Wei Jiu's big wedding, and it is also the day of the Spring Festival banquet held in the palace.

Wuming slightly squinted his eyes, quietly looked at the high-nosed, deep-eyed, burly, and thick-haired Loulan envoy in the center of the hall, and asked Tang Zhengze softly, "Master, do you know where the second master is from?"
The second master's martial arts are not low, and his methods are treacherous and changeable.Although he lived in the palace for a few years, he never told Wuming about his past, nor did he mention his hometown.Coupled with the fact that the Second Master never appeared in the original text, he appeared extremely mysterious in Wuming's eyes.
Of course Wuming would not doubt Second Master, she just had some gossiping curiosity.
She doesn't know about Second Master's past?What about the master?
The master smiled kindly: "Do you think he is from Loulan?"
Nameless blinked and nodded: "Yeah."
She had made similar guesses a long time ago, but it was only today that she suddenly thought of asking.
The master scratched his head, thought for a while, and finally frowned and shook his head: "It doesn't look like it, it doesn't look like it."
Wuming looked at the appearance of Loulan's envoy, and then thought about the face of the second master, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Wuming is a barbarian, Second Master is also a barbarian, and Loulan is also a barbarian.However, Wuming and the second master are slender, with seductive faces, almost overwhelming the country.But the envoys of Loulan were as big as giant beasts, and their body was extremely hairy, which was really not similar to them.
Next, the envoy of Loulan was not conceited because of his national strength. He bowed respectfully to King Qin under the watchful eyes of everyone in the hall.Like the envoys of other countries, he said a few words of praise in blunt Chinese.In the end, he presented Loulan's rare treasures and sat down quietly beside him.
King Qin stroked his beard in satisfaction and laughed twice, the slightly dignified atmosphere in the hall relaxed.
But not long after, the prosperous and harmonious atmosphere in the hall was broken again.
After offering the tribute, an envoy from a small southern barbarian country imitated the etiquette of the Central Plains and bowed to the King of Qin, saying in a loud voice, "Your Majesty the King of Qin, our prince has heard that the Seventh Princess of the Qin Dynasty is very powerful and beautiful. The prince has been in love with the Seventh Princess for a long time. , I came to Daqin to attend the Spring Festival banquet this time, and it was precisely in accordance with Daqin's etiquette to help our prince propose marriage..."
King Qin's cheeks that were originally flushed from smiling gradually turned black and blue.
A small southern barbarian country the size of a palm dares to ask Da Qin for marriage, and even wants to marry the seventh princess who is the most favored by King Qin on the surface? !
This is completely slapping Qin in the face!Slap King Qin in the face!
Not only King Qin, but many officials in the palace turned dark, and many looked cautiously at Tang Chiyu who was drinking.
But this dark-skinned envoy looked extremely serious, and he didn't feel the absurdity of what he said.Seeing that King Qin didn't answer, he turned to the table: "Which one is Her Royal Highness Seventh Princess? My prince..."
Seeing that King Qin was about to get angry, Tang Zhengze suddenly patted Tang Chiyu on the shoulder calmly.
Tang Chiyu drank the wine in the glass, put the empty wine glass on the table abruptly, and interrupted the envoy: "It's me."
Tang Chiyu stood up, with a burning momentum: "Your prince wants to marry me, why?"
The Nanman envoy blinked in bewilderment, wondering why the princess couldn't understand human speech?But after all, his prince wanted to marry her back home, so he patiently repeated: "Because His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is very powerful, our prince likes you."
"How is your prince's martial arts?" Tang Chiyu asked.
"This..." The Nanman envoy looked at Tang Chiyu for a few moments and thought for a while, "It should be stronger than you, the princess."
Although Tang Chiyu has been in the army for three years, his slender figure has never changed.She has been back in Beijing for half a year now, her shoulder-length short hair has long been draped over her back, her skin that has been roughened by the wind and sand has gradually returned to smoothness, and the terrifying scars on her neck have also faded a lot.If it weren't for her strong imposing manner, at first glance, she would indeed look like a pampered lady.
In the past, people in the capital really thought that Tang Chiyu was just a vase.However, the ten arrows shot by Qiushou hit everyone in the face very powerfully.
So now the palace looked at the Nanman envoys with pity, ridicule, and vague expectations.They were slapped in the face by Tang Chiyu back then, but now seeing others being slapped in the face, it was inevitable that they felt secretly excited.
"How does your prince compare with you?" Tang Chiyu walked up to the envoy and asked again.
The Nanman envoy was very strong and was about to catch up with the one from Loulan. At this time, Tang Chiyu stood in front of him, like a small cat.
The Nanman envoy's dark cheeks were reddish, he was afraid that the Seventh Princess would fall in love with him and would not marry their prince, what should I do?But he still said honestly: "I grew up with the prince, our force should be about the same."
"Let's compare?" Tang Chiyu hooked his fingers at him.
"This... Southern barbarians don't bully women..."
Before the envoy finished speaking, Tang Chiyu closed his fingers and punched him swiftly!
The Nanman envoy instinctively protected his face, but before he could react, Tang Chiyu's second palm hit his chest!
Palm wind is terrifying.
The hall was extremely quiet, and someone heard the sound of ribs breaking.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Chiyu raised his leg violently and kicked him in the abdomen.
The Nanman envoy staggered and fell to the ground, and servants immediately came up to help him out of the hall.
There was still a dead silence in the hall, and it wasn't until a smile of appreciation appeared on King Qin's face that the rest of the guests gradually resumed their laughter.
The envoys secretly lamented the strength of the Qin State, which is why the Seventh Princess dared to be so arrogant and beat the envoys of other countries in front of countless people.Envoys from many small countries shook their heads enviously, thinking when will their country catch up with Qin?
The officials of Qin State were full of joy, and they kept praising Tang Chiyu for his superb martial arts. He was worthy of being the Seventh Princess of the dynasty, and he was worthy of being General Yunhui who fought in Weibei.
King Qin even walked down personally and poured a glass of wine for Tang Chiyu.
Tang Chiyu thanked the King of Qin, and when he walked back to the dragon chair, he asked Tang Zhengze in a low voice: "Brother, my father and emperor obviously wanted to vent their anger on me just now, but why did you let me beat that barbarian by myself?"
Tang Chiyu scratched his head in confusion.
Tang Zhengze laughed and said, "You don't want to beat him?"
"I think." Tang Chiyu said very honestly, "The prince of his family has never seen me before, so he came to propose marriage to me and said he liked me. He clearly regarded me as an item to show off. Not only did I want to beat him, but I also wanted to personally marry him." Beat their prince."
Tang Zhengze laughed loudly: "Isn't that right?"
"It's that simple?" Tang Chiyu asked puzzled, "I always feel that you pushed me up, there must be some other meaning. Nameless, what do you think?"
Nameless explained with a smile: "At that time, your father was so angry that he was looking at King Zhennan. In that case, once he opened his mouth, King Zhennan would rush back to Yunnan tomorrow, and he would immediately lead his troops to crush the Nanman Xiaoguo. The master is kind-hearted and doesn't want to see people dying, so he asked you to beat the envoy."
The King of Zhennan guards the southern border, with 30 soldiers and horses in his hand, no worse than General Yunhui like Tang Chiyu.However, Weibei was harassed by grassland barbarians, and external turmoil continued.However, Southern Xinjiang is not stable internally, and the King of Zhennan needs to send troops to suppress it from time to time.Although King Qin was also afraid of Zhennan King, he had nothing to do with him after all, so he simply reached a delicate agreement with him. Although Nanjiang and Daqin were subordinate, they did not interfere with each other and were independent.Wu Ming vaguely remembers that Tang Zhi became the puppet emperor at the end of the novel, and finally died in the hands of Wei Jiu, so Zhennan King and Zhenbei King became kings respectively, and divided up the territory of Daqin.
Tang Chiyu asked: "That is to say, I beat him, but saved his life instead?"
Nameless: "Yes."
Tang Chiyu nodded with a half understanding.
Wuming and Master Master exchanged a look, and there was a gleam of helplessness in their eyes.
Tang Chiyu was treated too well by them, she used to have a pure heart like a child.Although Tang Chiyu knew that King Qin didn't like her, he didn't know the dark, brutal and even dirty thoughts in his heart.When Tang Zhengze went out of Beijing to venture into the Jianghu, Tang Zhi took care of Tang Chiyu on his behalf, but until now she only knew that Tang Zhi was good, but she didn't know that he was a crazy lunatic.
Wuming and Master originally thought that Tang Chiyu's pure heart should have been worn away after three years of polishing in Weibei.Unexpectedly, after returning from the battlefield where fists are the last word, she has a more straightforward personality.Tang Chiyu learned how to lead troops to fight against horse thieves, and made hundreds of thousands of soldiers willingly surrender to her, but she still couldn't learn it, and she couldn't even see the intrigue.
Master and Wuming had nothing to do with each other, so they could only continue to take good care of him.
But now that the situation in Changjing is turbulent, Wuming faintly feels that she and the master are about to be unable to protect her.
Sooner or later, Tang Chiyu would come out of her ivory tower and see this devastated real world with her own eyes.
Tang Chiyu didn't notice the complicated thoughts of the two of them at this time, and only looked in the direction of King Zhennan curiously: "Speaking of King Zhennan... Hey, why didn't his little son with the same name as Wuming come to welcome the spring this year?" feast?"
Zhennan Wang's surname is Chang, and his son's single name is Ning, which happens to be exactly the same as the nameless title Changning.So every time the Spring Festival feast, Tang Chiyu couldn't help but look at the child more.
Six years ago, the young son Changning came to Beijing for the first time, and curiously followed Wuming and Tang Chiyu around for several days.Although Xiao Shizi is young, he doesn't see Tang Chiyu much, and the total of the years is less than ten days, but he can chat with her very well, and he is one of Tang Chiyu's few friends.
The master smiled and said: "The child is fifteen this year, he should have been kicked out of the house by the King of Zhennan, and went out to travel and gain experience."
"I see." Tang Chiyu didn't pay too much attention to this matter, and concentrated on eating meat.
……
On the Spring Festival banquet, there are rich dishes, a variety of drinks and drinks, and the singing and dancing in the hall is constantly lively.For the next period of time, Wuming buried his head in his meal, chatting with Tang Chiyu from time to time, or walking through the crowd to look at Nanyue from a distance.
Perhaps because of the large number of people at the banquet, Tang Zhi didn't take a second look at Wuming this time, and talked with King Qin throughout the whole process.
After the banquet was over, the Nan and Wei families rushed back to prepare for the wedding. Nanyue waved to Wuming in the crowd.
"Wait for me to come." Wuming felt warm in her heart. Although she knew that Nanyue couldn't see through the crowd, she still made a mouth shape to Nanyue from a distance.
It wasn't until Nanyue's small figure completely disappeared in the crowd that Wuming looked away, still with a faint smile on her face.
"Changning, what are you thinking about? Are you smiling so happily?" At this moment, an old voice came from not far away.
King Qin's gaze fell on Wuming at some point, and even Tang Zhi looked at her with a half-smile.
Wuming cursed inwardly, but the smile on his face did not fade in the slightest.She turned her head, and said sweetly: "Your Majesty, today is the New Year's Eve. Our Daqin Guotai Minan's weather has been smooth for a whole year. Seeing that tomorrow will be a new year, Changning is very happy."
"Hahahahaha, not bad, today is indeed a happy day." Qin Wang patted his thigh and waved to Wuming, "Chang Ning, sit down and talk with me."
Wuming nodded obediently, and sat down: "What does Your Majesty want to say?"
Qin Wang stroked his beard and thought for a while: "It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time, and I just want to talk to you casually. Whatever you think of, just say what you want, don't be restrained."
Wuming lowered his eyes, and casually told a few interesting things that happened in the capital recently, which made King Qin laugh out loud.
After a few words, the officials were almost gone, and the royal relatives also left the venue one after another.Wuming was about to stand up and bid farewell to King Qin, but he shook his head: "Changning, stay here, and come with Xiaoliu to stroll around the Imperial Garden with me, and exchange feelings."
"Father, Wuming still wants to go back with me..." Master stood up, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by King Qin displeased.
"Tsk! I just missed my granddaughter and asked her to accompany me for a stroll. Tang Zhengze, why are you so worried!" King Qin frowned, "Could it be that this palace still eats people?"
Wuming winked at Master, and said with a smile, "Master, I want to chat with His Majesty for a while, so go back and wait for me."
Wuming's grandfather's call made King Qin smile happily, and the wrinkles on his brows were squeezed together.
Only then did the master salute and leave.
Wuming and Tang Zhi followed King Qin from left to right, and walked slowly into the imperial garden.
It is clearly deep winter now, but the garden is still blooming with bright red flowers, dazzlingly beautiful in the white snow.
"Changning was right before. Today is indeed a day of great joy. The second girl of the Nan family and the boy who just found home from the Wei family just chose to get married today. Changning, you have a good relationship with the Nan family. Don’t you know?” King Qin suddenly asked with a smile.
Wuming looked away from the flowers, nodded and said: "Well, I have met Miss Nan and Master Wei's family a few times."
"How do those two children look?"
"It's all good." Wuming tilted his head.
"Then Changning, tell me, are you beautiful, or the second lady of the Nan family?" Qin Wang asked.
Nan Xiaoyi got married today, logically speaking, no matter what the facts are, Wuming should give her face and say that she is better looking.However, Wuming seemed to think carefully for a while before slowly saying: "Returning to Your Majesty, Changning is more beautiful."
King Qin was amused again and laughed out loud.
"But..." Qin Wang laughed enough, his expression gradually became serious, "The two children are already married, what about you Changning? What about you Xiaoliu? Do you have any plans?"
The smile in Wuming's eyes froze slightly.Sure enough, how could King Qin really miss her?He asked her to enter the palace for nothing more than to talk to her about the marriage.But Wuming is a little curious now, King Qin wanted to marry Tang Chiyu to a certain dude in the capital because he was afraid that she would rebel, so he wanted to keep her by his side.But what about myself?I have been very low-key these days, and I handed over the caravan to Li Zhao to manage. Why did King Qin want to marry her off?
What is her use value?
When Wuming was thinking, Tang Zhi took the lead in laughing and said, "Father, I already have a girl I like in my heart."
"Oh?" King Qin raised his eyebrows slightly, and patted Tang Zhi's shoulder with one hand, "Which girl is it? The emperor will order her to marry into your palace tomorrow."
Tang Zhi didn't speak, but looked at Wuming shyly.
This glance caused goosebumps to appear on Wuming's back, and he instinctively reached out to pull out the dagger behind him.Nameless remained motionless, his smile unchanged.
"Hahahahaha... Xiaoliu." Qin Wang laughed even more freely, "That's right, although Changning is your half-niece, she is also a girl. You are thin-skinned and talk about the woman you like in front of her." One thing, you will be ashamed."
Tang Zhi nodded, hiding the light in his eyes: "Father is right."
When it comes to marriage, it is difficult to avoid the small episode of Nanman envoys at the Spring Festival banquet today.Wuming accompanied King Qin to scold Nanman for a while, and then complimented Tang Chiyu a few times, but the topic turned back to her.
"Changning, in fact, on the day of Qiushou, I talked with Zheng Zheng about your marriage. As a master, he doesn't want to worry about you, so I have to come in person?" King Qin smiled and looked at Wuming, " These days, after much deliberation, I finally thought of a good marriage for you."
As soon as these words came out, not only did Wuming's eyes turn cold, but even Tang Zhi's fingers froze slightly.
Wuming suppressed the urge to draw the dagger, instead of refuting King Qin's words, he opened his eyes wide and looked curious, and continued to ask: "Which young master did His Majesty take a fancy to for Changning?"
"Changning, you have a noble status. Naturally, only the royal relatives are worthy of you. But you are also a princess. If you marry a royal, wouldn't it be messed up?" King Qin stroked his beard, "So I thought, I Qin’s royal relatives and relatives are not successful, so wouldn’t those from other countries be just right? I think that Loulan’s land is fertile and powerful, only a little bit worse than my great Qin. Changning, you are a foreigner. If you marry into Loulan Isn't the royal family beautiful?"
