Ping An Biography

Although time was tight, Zhang Ning got up early in the morning to inspect various military camps and participated in various disputes in the Senate; but when he learned that Miao envoy Bai Ju was going to meet him again, he still put down everything in his hands and returned to the inner house , waiting to meet with her. [full text reading]

This morning, there has been a drizzle of rain. The rain is so light that you don't need an umbrella to go out and you won't get wet, but the ground outside is wet.When he was walking on the corridor of the county government house, he turned his head and found a few small yellow petals on the ground in the yard beside the road. He couldn't help but look at it, then raised his head and looked around, only to find that among the flowers, plants and trees in the yard, There is a winter jasmine in one corner, but the flowers on the flower tree have almost withered.I have lived in Cili County for so long, and I only saw it now, but by the time I found it, the flowering period had passed.

Zhang Ning couldn't help feeling sad and regretful.Maybe it's a reflection of his state of mind, but at other times, I'm afraid it won't be easy to hurt the spring and autumn. Emotions are often just emotions.

At this moment, a voice chanted: "The scattered pieces are turned into mud and dust, only the fragrance remains the same."

Zhang Ning turned her head when she heard the sound, and saw that the Miao envoy Bai Ju and the deputy envoy were coming out of the wing room. She saw that she was observing the petals on the ground and chanted a word.Although it is a bit far-fetched to use the words chanting plum blossoms here, Zhang Ning is somewhat surprised when it comes from a Miao population. [

He really wasn't in the mood to chant poems to agree with him, but he didn't want to show a little impatience in front of the Miao envoy, so he pointed to the few small yellow petals he saw just now and said casually: "Flowers, plants and trees all have their destiny, and everything in the world has its own destiny." That's right."

Bai Ju's eyeballs looked up in thought, as if he was understanding the meaning of that sentence.She really changed her clothes today, but to outsiders, it seems that there is no difference, and most people would not care about the difference in the patterns on her clothes; but the gauze scarf on the veil is indeed very different.The color became white and more transparent... When she could see things around her more clearly, others could get a rough idea of ​​her face.

Oval face, single eyelid.The skin on his face was whiter than all the Miao people and Tujia people Zhang Ning had seen.It is said that because most of their villages are built on the mountain, and the water is inconvenient, many people do not bathe all the year round, so their skin is darker, and the teeth of people in a few areas are even yellow. The living conditions of the princess's servants are better?

"I was about to visit you in the study as promised, and I happened to meet you here, and I met you." Bai Ju stood in the corridor and made a blessing from a distance, with a very precise posture.Then he walked towards Zhang Ning, and Zhang Ning hurriedly clasped his fists in return.

She was looking at Zhang Ning intentionally.Although there is no bright sunshine today, the light outside in broad daylight is also very good, and the veil covering her face is much more transparent, and Zhang Ning's appearance can indeed be seen clearly.

Sure enough, he doesn't have the toughness of a warlord as he guessed, but he also lacks the temperament of a Han Confucian scholar. Bai Ju can't tell what kind of feeling it is, anyway, at first glance, he feels very special. very different.

The cyan robe he was wearing was ironed very flat, and there were straight marks left by folded clothes on the hem, and the white lining gave people the impression of being separated and neat; looking closely, the material of the clothes was just ordinary cotton, and the decorations were even more It is so simple that there is only a jade pendant on the belt, but such a simple dress can give off an air of identity.A handsome face, sword eyebrows and deep eye sockets have a restrained heroism, straight nose bridge and lips seem a bit conceited, but there is clearly something sympathetic in his eyes.

Bai Ju froze for a moment, his mood suddenly became a little confused, and he couldn't help thinking about why such a person had such pitiful eyes.Perhaps it was persecuted by the army of Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong?

She thought to herself: This person is not annoying at all.

"Your envoy, please sit in the study." Zhang Ning made a gesture of invitation.After he brought Bai Ju and others into the room, he called out, "Come here, serve tea."

At this time, Bai Ju asked softly: "Since you are the third prince of Emperor Jianwen, I heard that you were an official in the government?"

Zhang Ning thought for a while after hearing this, and said: "Since ancient times, there have been many rebels who pretended to be the banner. At the end of Qin Dynasty, there was an uprising army that attacked the emperor's eldest son Fusu banner. But it is true that I am the son of Emperor Jianwen, because I have a thousand years with the old officials. There are countless connections, all identities cannot be forged, your envoy can trust it."

"That's not what I mean." Bai Ju said, "I heard that Han people have to test their merits to be an official, and the scientific examination of their birthplace is also very strict. How could the government let you be an official? It's fine if your highness doesn't want to say it."

Zhang Ning was a little surprised, but he still replied: "My concubine adopted me to a common people's family when Nanjing fell, and my surname was Zhang before."

Bai Ju nodded and said, "So that's the case. Speaking of which, I grew up in another family when I was young, and I only returned to Bai's house when I grew up..."

Zhang Ning thought to himself that Zhu Yong's main force would probably arrive at Yongding Acropolis soon, so why am I talking nonsense with a Miao girl here?But after thinking about it, according to experience, when a woman asks herself and wants to know something, it is mostly because she is interested or thinking about you.What does this Bai Ju mean?Just looking at her appearance is not bad, but the timing is not right. If she is really just a servant next to Bai Fengjiao, hooking up with her is not very meaningful; Maybe it will come in handy.

"It's not about the Three Treasures Hall. When Miss Bai meets me today, she must have something to say, right? There are a lot of words on the net," Zhang Ning said nicely.Since King Miao sent an envoy for the second time, it should be to reach a relationship, otherwise there is no need to do so.

After hearing this, Bai Ju was still embarrassed for a moment, and said: "There is indeed something that needs to be discussed in person. After our discussion yesterday, we decided to make a suggestion to His Highness: If you don't want to compete with Zhu Yong here for the time being, you can go south to Gaodu County ; and then attack and defeat the official army of Longtou Temple with the Miao army, if this is the case, we can join forces and deal with Zhu Yong's official army together."

"King Miao is willing to join forces with our army to attack the officers and soldiers of Longtou Temple..." Zhang Ning regained his energy immediately, and asked again, "Did King Miao decide this in advance? Mention something so important?" [

Bai Ju shook his head slightly, and said solemnly: "Although the king doesn't know about it yet, I can decide this matter. Your Highness can believe that after you go south, I will be able to persuade King Miao to finally agree to this matter."

Zhang Ning was immediately surprised, what could a maid beside Bai Fengjiao decide?If that's the case, how powerful is Bai Fengjiao's power within the Miao people?It is estimated that King Miao must be a puppet for her to hold the power.But there is almost no such possibility. If a woman who is too young is very powerful, there are only two possibilities, one is to rely on her parents, and the other is to rely on the favor of her husband.Bai Fengjiao's power can only come from King Miao, and cannot be higher than King Miao.

In this case, why did Bai Ju dare to go to Haikou?She was just talking nonsense, and it would be too childish for such an unreliable person to be sent as an envoy by King Miao... There is also a possibility that this Bai Ju who claims to be a maid is Bai Fengjiao!

"Is your envoy the daughter of King Miao?" Zhang Ning couldn't help asking.

Bai Ju hesitated for a moment, then said, "I am the envoy of King Miao."

"Your envoy came to discuss the alliance on behalf of King Miao. You mean what King Miao means. Disrespect and disrespect." Zhang Ning hurriedly said, "By the way, there are musicians in the army. After dinner today, please come and listen to Miss Bai." How did the musicians play?"

Seeing that Zhang Ning's attitude suddenly became enthusiastic, she felt a little angry, and said coldly: "Didn't your Highness say that the situation is urgent and everything is urgent, and you still want to listen to the musicians play? I'm afraid it will delay your business, so let's forget it." ;Perhaps you can discuss it with your subordinates tonight in order to reply to our proposal."

Zhang Ning nodded, feeling a little annoyed in his heart.Normally he would talk nonsense with others, and he didn't care about other people's identities, but today he showed a snobbish image, which was really a mistake.Bai Ju was obviously interested in his private affairs just now, so what can be delayed by saying a few more words?

It is very likely that Bai Ju is Bai Fengjiao, the only daughter of King Miao. According to Chen Maocai's previous information, she is very powerful among the Miao people and has great influence in front of King Miao. If you can get Bai Fengjiao's friendship, let her help you. It is not impossible for the coalition forces to deal with Zhu Yong.And if she is willing, what's wrong with marrying her and borrowing soldiers?

At this time, Bai Ju stood up, and said politely, "I don't want to disturb Your Highness too much, I will take my leave first, and wait for Your Highness's reply."

"I'll take you back." Zhang Ning said hurriedly.

Bai Ju said coldly: "We live in the wing room, a few steps away, Your Highness does not need to be polite, please stay."

Zhang Ningnai agreed.He was thinking about how he used to seduce women. Luo Yaoniang, Fang Ling, and even Peach Blossom Fairy and Zhao Erniang had secretly agreed with her. By the way, how did he do it back then?He thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure it out. When it really came time to seduce a woman, he couldn't do anything, it was extremely helpless.

Marching south?If you can get married, it's reliable.What, as a modern person, shouldn't love be used as a tool?Facing an emperor who kills at every turn | the whole family, and his generals who are trying every means to destroy his army, when life is dying, everything is just a fairy tale.

Zhang Ning immediately went to the Senate to discuss the matter, but he only said that he had reached a covenant with the Miao people, and that it was King Miao's intention to let the Suzaku army approach the Miao army.Everyone needs a hope, instead of sticking to the land of Cili County and passively resisting, or wandering around aimlessly.
