bad, i'm a fool

Chapter 243 The Madman
Wearing the stars and wearing the moon, traveling both mountains and rivers.

In less than two days, a team composed of four hundred cavalry generals led by Tantaiming and Gongsun Changzheng rushed back to Siyang non-stop. What they escorted was the most important item in Simeng at the moment, and it sealed the West Asia The solid ice of Grand Duke Tilda.

The silver-haired Grand Duke Tilda slept in the unmelted ice like a deep sleep. He was wearing the costume of the saint of the church. His body was slightly curled up like a mother holding a baby, holding a shapeless sword.

But Gongsun Changzheng knew very well that this sword was the reason why Fa Si was able to intervene.

Before dawn, the side gates of Siyang City had been cleared, and not even a mouse was allowed to wander here.

Waiting at the city gate on this side is the most respected figure in the whole Simeng.

Tantai Fu, Jiang Ningyun.

The two stood quietly under the unknown sky, and they didn't seem to be interested in talking to each other. They only spoke a few words occasionally, which made the place not so lifeless.

"Xia will not let it go." Jiang Ningyun said.

"will not."

Tantai looked into the distance and answered.

"How does the soldier respond?"

Tantaifu turned sideways and finally looked into Jiang Ningyun's eyes.

Those are really a pair of very young eyes. Such a girl, who can almost be her own daughter, is so obsessed with looking at her now.

He said slowly: "Listen to Your Highness."

Jiang Ningyun sighed, she knew what kind of person Tan Taifu was, and she also knew what kind of person His Highness was.

"How does Lord Tantai want His Highness to decide?"

Tantaifu pondered for a moment, but showed a rare smile: "The girl of your Jiang family is too straightforward."

"The one with a hundred turns and a soft heart is not here, but in the palace."

Jiang Ningyun answered quickly.

Tan Taifu shook his head: "No, I'm talking about temper, both of you are very straightforward."

He looked into the distance again, and his tone softened a lot:
"If you are in the military division, both of you sisters can be very good soldiers."

Jiang Ningyun frowned slightly: "Master Tantai means that Ning Yun is not as handsome as you."

"There's no such thing as being handsome, it's just a matter of living a long time."

Tantaifu doesn't always look like he wants to eat people, but there are always people who seem to have that kind of aura that is not angry.

Such a person, even if he said this very plainly, still makes people unable to relax.

"War is always a bad thing. People have no reason to like war."

Tantaifu's eyes seem to be looking at the direction of West Asia in the north, a little empty:

"It is natural to fight a good war against Simeng, but when a war is fought, no matter whether it is Simeng people or West Asians, there will always be people who hate it."

Jiang Ningyun looked at Tantai Fu's figure looking into the distance, and said in a cold tone:
"It's His Highness that they hate, not you, the chief executive. It's really wonderful."

Tan Taifu was not angry, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned: "Someone must hate, unless there are people in the world who fight for joy, such people are stupid lunatics. Unless all the soldiers in Simeng are lunatics, otherwise they must Someone got scolded."

He turned around with his hands behind his back and faced Jiang Ningyun, with a rare tone of earnestness:

"If you scold His Highness, bad words will not enter the palace. If you scold me, the Simeng society is unstable. Tell me, who should you scold?"

Jiang Ningyun frowned slightly, she didn't seem to like that the other party thought she was similar to him, she glanced into the depths of the night, her voice became calmer.

"coming."

Tantaifu didn't need her to remind him. In the distance, under the darkness of the night, he could see a pyroxene as high as two people reflecting the bright moonlight, approaching Siyang's side gate from mid-air. .

It was Tan Taiming, Gongsun Changzheng, several hundred cavalry generals who followed behind them, and Gongsun Xue.

"See you sir!"

It was convenient for everyone to greet and drink in unison, and report to the two director generals at the same time.

Tantai glanced at Tantaiming in front of him again, a gloomy look flashed across his son's face, he pressed his chin closer to his neck, and lowered his head solemnly.

He understood that it was his own responsibility that the Judiciary could intervene in this matter, and that Jiang Ningyun was able to stand here now.

That damned knight who never dies!

With a "snap", the expressionless Gongsun Xue smashed a huge wooden box nearly two meters high on the ground without saying a word.

The wooden box is like a tall coffin, but it is more well-protected than most coffins. It is densely covered with Dao Talismans like psoriasis. If you look carefully, you will find that Dao Talismans are slowly turning yellow one by one. Become crispy, and finally fall into paper ash.

The person lying in it is naturally the immortal temperance knight Odu.

Tantai glanced at Aodu's coffin, looked at Jiang Ningyun, and raised his hand towards the solid ice that sealed Tilda: "Master Chief, please."

Jiang Ningyun didn't give in. He nodded slightly and stepped forward, raised his hand on the icy surface, and closed his eyes slightly.

Shaoqing, she opened her eyes with slender eyelashes, and said in a regretful tone:
"The Grand Duke of West Asia is indeed very powerful."

After hearing her helpless words, Tantaifu's expression obviously became more serious. He turned his head to glance at Tilda in the ice, and his expression suddenly paused for a moment:

"... Yunpo Sword?"

Jiang Ningyun sighed. She thought that Gongsun Changzheng could find this object quietly, but now the Yunpo sword is frozen in this lump of solid ice that no one can melt with Grand Duke Tilda. It's under control.

"It is the Yunpo sword. When His Highness visited West Asia, he gave this item to the Grand Duke of West Asia for the purpose... just for the purpose of kissing Fangze."

"I see."

Tan Taifu nodded, but didn't say much.

But his superficial silence concealed deep thoughts in his heart—the little girl in the country's judiciary didn't know that His Highness was threatened by Prince Gao, and the saying that he gave the sword as a beauty must be just an excuse that his absurd Highness thought up casually.

The real situation was clearly grasped by the other country's military commander, it must be part of the threat of the prince Gao, not only forcing His Highness's life, but also forcing him to hand over the immortal gift for some reason.

So this Yunpo sword is useful?

What is the use?

Tantaifu's gaze stayed on the Yunpo sword for a long time, he didn't know that his assumption was almost the truth, except that Han Dongwen was not forced.

Your Highness... right now it is more valuable to protect him.

He was so contemplative, and led the crowd under the pale moonlight to escort Na Jianbing to the most severe place in Siyang, Dingfa Pavilion.

dorm.

The dragon bed is warm and fragrant, Jiang Keyin's shoulders are like a beautiful and warm nephrite, her collarbone reflects the moonlight outside the window, and her shoulder blades line the warm fire in the palace, she just leans against the bed and looks out the window.

"Your Highness, you could have lied to Ke'er."

She blinked her eyes, which were almost similar to her sister's, and looked at Han Dongwen who was standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back.

His Highness called her to come tonight, but she was still not serving the bed. Apart from imparting the magic formula to the puppet, she heard a rather strange sentence.

"I want, no..."

His Highness took a breath, and said again: "I want to make you a concubine."

"His Royal Highness promised the queen at the beginning."

She was stunned for a moment, but her words were still filled with tender reproach.

"Ascension to the throne, I will name you as the queen."

Han Dongwen's eyes reflected Jiang Keyin's shadow, he paused for a moment, but continued:

"The concubine of the middle palace is very dangerous."

Jiang Keyin smiled, her eyes seemed to narrow, and she still seemed to be looking at Han Dongwen: "Faji has dealt with the Tantai family for many years."

"It's not Tantai."

Han Dongwen shook his head, repeated what he said to Tantai Fu, and finally concluded:
"Tantai, they want to keep the concubine alive, not the queen."

Jiang Keyin looked at Han Dongwen in front of her, was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "Ke'er is stupid, what does Your Highness mean, is Taka forcing His Highness to choose a concubine?"

"No."

Han Dongwen shook his head: "But if Simeng has a concubine, it will make Prince Gao trust me more."

"If you can't do what he wants, your Highness and Ke'er will both wait to be killed?"

"Yes."

"Where's Simeng, where's Tantai?"

"Maybe they have plans, maybe they don't, but for Prince Gao, if I can't do what he wants, there will be no Si Meng."

Jiang Keyin took a deep breath, her smile became lighter, but it was true:
"What does Gao want?"

"Let me stabilize Simeng and help him capture Taka."

"What does the beautiful Grand Duke Gao Tongxi want?"

"If she wants to stabilize Xiya, she will lose."

Jiang Keyin blinked: "We are still in West Asia."

Han Dongwen took a deep breath and looked out the window: "And we have a chance to stabilize her."

"If you want to use force, will Tantai agree?"

Jiang Keyin leaned closer to Han Dongwen, hugged his shoulders from behind, pressed his chest against his back, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Your concubine wants to remind you , Tantai would probably say this: 'If there are people in the world who fight and rejoice, such people are stupid and lunatics'"

"Lord Tantai thinks His Highness doesn't know how to fight."

Her red lips parted slightly, and she almost bit Han Dongwen's ear. The hot air from her mouth made his ears itchy.

Looking at the moonlight outside the window and the starlight in the north, Han Dongwen raised the corners of his mouth:
"A widow doesn't understand soldiers, he doesn't understand madmen."
