[Sword Three] Why do you want to cut milk if you can output?

Li Zhen's complete victory boosted the morale of the battalion, and every soldier's face was filled with joy.

After reorganizing the returned Turkic soldiers, Wang Zhongsi ordered most of the Tiance soldiers to return to the headquarters, leaving only a few thousand people to guard the border and use them for communication.

Of course, the Cangyun Army of Yanhe also returned to the headquarters with them.

Probably the war that lasted for several years finally came to an end. The soldiers of the Tiance General Battalion knew that the war had been won, even if they did not participate in it personally, they still showed great joy.

"The Turkic chaos is over, this is probably the best New Year's gift for the brothers!"

There is still one month before the new year, Tiance Army couldn't help laughing and joking when he heard the news, and he still didn't forget to ask the brother next to him for approval, "You think so?"

"Of course!" The people around him echoed, "Thanks to General Wang and Lieutenant General Li, the battle was well fought!"

Isn't it beautiful, no one died, and the Turks were put down, this battle is enough for Li Zhen to reward him for his meritorious deeds.

"I can't do this alone," Li Zhen, who was the center of the discussion, didn't mean to take credit, but praised the accompanying brothers, "It's still the credit of the brothers."

Chu Qiu listened to the conversation between them from a distance, and seeing Li Zhen say this, he couldn't help showing an expression that he had expected.

"Sister?" Yanhe felt that her reaction was a bit strange, thought about it for a while, and suddenly asked her in a tangled tone, "You to Lieutenant General...?"

"What are you thinking?" Even if Chu Qiu had the intention of gaining a good impression, she would not blatantly tell Yanhe, so she changed the subject openly, "You still care about my sister? What about you? In Cangyunguo How? Have you met a woman you like? Has no one bullied you?"

——How is your work/study?How much is your monthly salary?Have you talked about friends?Questions like these, no matter what era, are enough to make one's scalp tingle.

"It's good, I don't have time to find love, and no one bullies me."

So Yanhe choked for a moment, answered with a calm expression on a sullen face, and immediately stopped talking.

Chu Qiu shrugged, his reaction was expected.

Tiance's headquarters is in Beicheng, but it's not so much a city as a stone city wall outside the town.

When Chu Qiu entered the city, he found that there were not many people in the city, except for the army that greeted them, there were only a few women and children.The city was so small that even Tiance's other guards did not live in the city, but set up tents outside the city.

In the middle of the night, a cleansing banquet was held in the middle of the camp.

Li Zhen invited Chu Qiu over, but she declined his invitation and pushed Yanhe over instead.

Different from the bustling camp, the camp near the North City looked deserted and deserted, not to mention people, not even a mouse.

"Master, you are really good at summoning people."

But it was in the corner of this camp, in the shadows that others could hardly notice, a woman in a dark red silk robe quietly sneaked in.

"Those who can do more work, I'm sure of your ability." Chu Qiu had already received the news and was waiting here. Now that the woman suddenly spoke, his expression was naturally calm.

She glanced at the other party's attire under the moonlight, and then said in an admiring tone, "Axue really put her heart into it, even when I saw your attire, I subconsciously felt that you were an envoy from Nanzhao."

"What the leader asked me to do, I naturally have to do it well."

The person who showed his figure in front of Chu Qiu was naturally Tanxue who was ordered to help Mobei.

She specially put on makeup to make the original strong features more vivid, making people feel that this person's status is not low.She didn't wear the original bright red, but changed into a dark red satin robe, with tiger skins on the corners, and gold decorations on her head, ears, neck, and wrists—this is the fifth-rank Nanzhao robe. Only officials can dress up.

"Since Axue dresses up like this, I think she has a plan for this matter." Chu Qiu told her about Zhao Yunsheng, let her understand, and then continued, "——I want evidence of her collusion with Nanzhao .”

"It's a coincidence." Tanxue pretended to be charming and took out a gold shell from her bosom with a very flamboyant gesture. There were strange patterns engraved on the gold shell, and there was a wild character in the middle, "In your During the time I left, I happened to meet the king of Nanzhao."

"—When did the Red Clothes Sect get involved with Nanzhao?" Chu Qiu frowned, "Nanzhao King is looking for you?"

"That person was looking for you, the leader." Tanxue played with Jin Bei in her hands, concealing the truth of the incident in a casual tone, and then directly stated the result, "It's just that you have something important to do. In the body, the remaining two saintess... are not suitable to meet."

"So you met the King of Nanzhao in private without the permission of the leader?" Chu Qiu deliberately used the title of the leader.

"Wronged." Tanxue pretended to be wronged, stepped forward and hugged Chu Qiu's hand, acting coquettishly, "I sent a letter to the leader...but you didn't receive it."

"But you didn't tell me about it when I sent it to you through thousands of miles of sound transmission."

When Chu Qiu thought of Yanhe's arrival, he also mentioned that Cangyun's letter to Tiance Camp had been intercepted, and suddenly felt inexplicably flustered, feeling that the matter was not over yet.But if this is the case, Tanxue's words are somewhat believable, so Chu Qiu no longer dwells on past issues, but picks the most critical ones.

"What did Nanzhao say?"

"The King of Nanzhao wants to make a deal with you." Tan Xue's eyes showed a little disdain, "He saw that the influence of the Red Clothes Sect was expanding, and most of them were women, so he wanted to use the Red Clothes Sect to achieve his goal of extending his hand into the Central Plains." The purpose...doesn't look at what I look like, and dares to touch me."

To put it bluntly, the king of Nanzhao wanted to seduce Tanxue with his masculinity, and by the way, seduce the women of the Red Clothes Sect, so that they would willingly work for Nanzhao—but he never expected that most of the women who joined the Red Clothes Sect not only recognized men Her abilities have improved, and she has no good looks towards men.

"Why did you reply?" Chu Qiu knew from her expression that she definitely did not agree with King Nanzhao's overture.

"Of course I'm hanging on to him." Tanxue smiled sweetly, showing a flattering smile, and winked at her, "I'm sure I'll let him feel that I'll be tempted if I'm one step away. I didn't agree before you agreed. He... is the leader satisfied?"

"Don't act privately next time..." Chu Qiu paused, remembering what she told her at the beginning to keep her free, so she rubbed her forehead with some headaches, and then said, "...No, forget it, you do it Not bad. But next time, remember to report to me first.”

Because of Chu Qiu's change of words, a smile flashed in Tanxue's eyes, she blinked to cover up the real emotion, and deliberately showed an innocent expression, "Yes, the leader."

Tanxue motioned Chu Qiu to look at the golden shell in her hand, "This golden shell is the 'token' given to me by King Nanzhao. Wouldn't it be just right to use this instead of the 'evidence' that the leader wanted?"

"This is indeed...too a coincidence." Chu Qiu felt that the sky was helping her, and at the same time, she had an unreal illusion.Leaving aside the flash of flustered feeling before, Chu Qiu cheered up and told her, "Let's do this, letters and the like... don't need it, General Wang Zhongsi seems to be proficient in this way, even if it's fake, it's not necessary. It can't be so obvious."

"Heh." Tanxue laughed in a low voice, sighing inexplicably like a hunter, "Except tokens, there is nothing more useful than catching a current one... Don't worry, leave it to me, I will definitely make the leader happy. "

"Then please Ashue."

Like Chu Qiu, Zhao Yunsheng did not go to the banquet.

It's just that Chu Qiu was waiting for Tanxue, while Zhao Yunsheng didn't want to see He Lin who was attending the banquet, and he didn't dare to face Wang Zhongsi and others at the banquet.

"The Turkic war is over, but I can't get anything useful!" Zhao Yunsheng tugged at the silk handkerchief in his hand, only when she was alone, she would show such a hysterical look, "—— If she hadn't intervened, let alone Li Zhen! Those Tiance troops would have been seriously injured! At that time, what would be the use of Wang Zhongsi in command? It would still be a defeat!"

She paused for a moment, as if she had thought of something important, she stood up excitedly.

"That's right! It's all Chu Qiu's fault! If she wasn't there—I'd already obtained the secret letter, why would I be suspected by Wang Zhongsi?! How could I be entangled by He Lin again!"

"The way the girl shirks responsibility is really eye-opening."

Zhao Yunsheng was taken aback by the voice of a foreign female with a Baiyu accent, and immediately took out the medical knife beside him vigilantly.

"Heh, the people of the Central Plains are timid and afraid of getting into trouble, so they are afraid of such a small sound."

Footsteps finally appeared, and Zhao Yunsheng finally saw the speaker.

The moment Zhao Yunsheng saw the other party's dress clearly, she subconsciously restrained the expression on her face, and loosened her hand holding the knife, her eyes became more hesitant, and she became a little funny because of shock.

"You, you are..."

Facing Zhao Yunsheng was Tanxue who had turned into an envoy of Nanzhao.

"Who am I? It's not something you, a commoner girl, can know." Tanxue smiled mockingly, her eyes were calm and contemptuous, which was exactly the kind of expression that Zhao Yunsheng hated the most, but Tanxue chose This expression was so natural that Zhao Yunsheng mistakenly thought that she was in a high position, and it was natural for him to look down on himself who had no status.

She was playing with the gold medal engraved with the official position in her hand, and it was also because of seeing the gold medal and observing her attire that Zhao Yunsheng believed that she was sent by the King of Nanzhao.

"The chivalrous men in the Central Plains don't have any skills, and I don't know how the king found you... It's better to let me do it myself, not to mention the Tiance Army, even if it is something from the Li Tang royal family, I can bring it to the king."

Even her purpose was revealed, and Zhao Yunsheng confirmed Tanxue's identity as a Nanzhao person logically.

"...This is the task given to me by the King of Nanzhao. If your excellency intervenes, isn't it a violation of the king's order?" Zhao Yunsheng smiled and spoke very reluctantly, but he did not dare to neglect.

"You use the king to suppress me?" Tanxue narrowed her eyes, and hung the gold medal she was playing on her waist casually, "Heh, you are just a commoner girl, how dare you threaten me, an important minister?"

"If you can't hand over what the king wants, even if I kill you, the king won't blame me."

"—Don't dare." This is not the first time Zhao Yunsheng has faced the murderous aura. Compared with Yanhe, Tanxue's murderous aura is not harsh, but it still makes Zhao Yunsheng feel terrified, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely get the things out as soon as possible." Take it and present it to King Nanzhao."

"Oh?" Retracting her murderous aura, Tanxue casually leaned against the edge of the tent, "What if the king hadn't been made to wait a few more months?"

Zhao Yunsheng was shocked by her words, gritted his teeth and said the specific time, "Not within a week!"

"One week?" Tanxue's dissatisfaction was written directly on his face, "Up to three days."

"What, but—"

"If you can't do it, I'll take it for the king myself." Tanxue didn't care about Zhao Yunsheng's expression of unwillingness to succumb because he thought his status was lower than hers. Watching her struggling.

"As for you who are useless..."

Tanxue widened the smile on her lips, feeling that the role-playing task given to her by her leader was really interesting.

"...there is no reason to live anymore."

"--Yes."

Threatened by Tanxue, Zhao Yunsheng finally swallowed the words of objection, and only half the salary squeezed out the words to answer.

"This is what the king asked me to give you."

Jin Bei was thrown onto the table in front of her by Tanxue, the bang sound made Zhao Yunsheng secretly clenched his hands, and did not go to take it immediately.

"If you succeed, you can meet the king with it." Tanxue likes to see her self-esteem being provoked by her, but unable to fight back, "If you don't succeed..."

Thinking of what Tanxue said before, Zhao Yunsheng understood what she hadn't finished saying.

The humiliation of being underestimated made Zhao Yunsheng's eyes almost red, but she still resisted the thought of doing something, and bit her lip in response.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will succeed."

Pity……

Tanxue chuckled, thinking that as a "toy", Zhao Yunsheng was quite interesting.

... She will never succeed again.

Tanxue didn't waste time, she stopped talking to Zhao Yunsheng, turned around and left, and disappeared without a trace.

The bait and net are all ready, and the fish are left to take the bait.

The author has something to say:

Don't ask Zhao Yunsheng why he believes in Tanxue, it's because she is stupid and pretends to be smart.

[Small Theater [-]]

Chu Qiu: If you are really sleepy, someone will give you a pillow...

Tanxue: Well, the leader is right.

(I don’t mention it at all because she was bored, so she hooked up with the women from Nanzhao to join the religion, which caused the king of Nanzhao to notice the Red Clothes Sect.)

[Small Theater [-]]

Tanxue: It's so boring to work together without the leader.But the leader found me a new fun, but this new fun is a bit silly.

Zhao Yunsheng: ...Why am I the only one who has to face so many threats and murderous intent? What did I do wrong? A better status (although I don’t care about other people’s lives for this), even if I’m just a little bit jealous of others (envious enough to bully and kill others), this shouldn’t make me so unlucky, right?

Chu Qiu: ...The reasons in parentheses are enough.

Bai language, the language of ethnic minorities (Bai people).

During the Nanzhao period, most of the people belonged to the Bai people, so this description is used here.As for why Tanxue, who has only been to Nanzhao once, can speak Baiyu—it can only be said that she can’t speak Baiyu, but she can learn the tone of "speaking Central Plains dialect with Baiyu accent" very similarly (and said Zhao Yun Students can't understand it).

In addition, the New Year in this article is based on modern customs, that is, once on New Year’s Day and once on Spring Festival... Because the author Sang forgot to check how the New Year was counted in ancient times when writing, so this setting should be the setting of the magic sword three worlds.
