Ping An Biography

The saint said that only women and villains are difficult to raise. Although there is suspicion of feudal and backward thinking, Zhang Ning also has to admit that women's minds are indeed elusive.That Bai Fengjiao was fine when she first came, but she accidentally offended her, and her attitude has been cold since then... In fact, she didn't do anything excessive to offend her. In Zhang Ning's opinion, it was not a small matter, or even a small matter. It's not even counted, and I can't tell the unknown things.

But Zhang Ning couldn't argue with her, the alliance with Miao Jun couldn't be brought down because of such a small detail.So he played his good temper and patience, and greeted her with kind words, hoping that after she went back, she would play a positive role in the relationship between the two parties, not the opposite.

Early this morning, Bai Fengjiao and her party will set off from Gaodu County to Luxi, the base camp of the Miao rebels.

Originally, the old man's army had already moved to the east of Chenzhou Mansion; but before Zhu Yong suddenly occupied Luxi and cut off their retreat, he probably frightened the old man. As soon as the officers and troops withdrew, they then occupied Luxi Creek, and set up the base camp here.So much so that now, to go back to the headquarters of the Miao Army from Gaodu, it is almost necessary to cross the entire territory of Chenzhou Prefecture; the city of Chenzhou Prefecture is still in the hands of the officers and soldiers. To prevent accidents, Zhang Ning insisted on dispatching a team of soldiers and horses to escort the Miao envoy back.

Before leaving, Zhang Ning specially asked Xu Wenjun to cook breakfast, invited Bai Fengjiao to eat together, and said a few words of farewell.Bai Fengjiao did not refuse, and went to the dining room to meet the appointment. [

As soon as Zhang Ning met, he hurriedly said politely: "Miss Bai has been here for many days, but I haven't invited you for a banquet, but today I invited you for breakfast. It's really simple. I hope Miss Bai will not blame you."

"Your Highness has such a heart, we should take it, it doesn't depend on the number of dishes." Bai Fengjiao also said politely.However, this kind of polite tone seemed very alien, with a kind of businesslike appearance; her attitude became cold, but she was able to maintain etiquette, she was indeed a wealthy family who had seen the world.She still wore the hat, but the veil had been lifted in front of her, and her face was not covered.The oval face with single eyelids is also quite attractive, except for the appearance of the clothes, it looks no different from the Han people.

It was inconvenient for Zhang Ning to be rashly rude again and cause the twists and turns like last time, so he didn't feel embarrassed to stare at her.Immediately, he said casually: "What Miss Bai said is very true. Although the meal is simple, her intentions have arrived." He then asked someone to lift the lid of the clay pot, "Boil glutinous rice cakes with fermented glutinous rice. I heard that people in your hometown like to eat this. Although simple, the rice wine and glutinous rice are carefully selected, and the white is crystal clear, just like the friendship between us and the Miao people."

Hearing Zhang Ning's eloquence, Bai Fengjiao couldn't help laughing, and said after a while: "Nowadays, this place is in turmoil, thanks to Your Highness's thoughtfulness in choosing ingredients."

"Food is the most important thing for the people. In fact, no matter how big things you do, you still have three meals and one quilt. You don't want delicacies, but you can't be careless." Zhang Ning also laughed.

Bai Fengjiao smiled and nodded in agreement.The atmosphere was harmonious, so Zhang Ning took the opportunity to remind: "The matter of the League of Nations is related to the lives of thousands of people and the future of the tribe. I hope Miss Bai will focus on the overall situation."

After hearing this, Bai Fengjiao put down the white porcelain bowl she had just picked up, and said, "Your Highness thinks that I have made my petty temper ignorant of the general situation?"

"That's not what it means, it's definitely not what it means." Zhang Ning said kindly.

After breakfast, Zhang Ning personally sent the envoys out of the county office, and he was relieved.This Bai Fengjiao came to be an envoy, it is really difficult to serve her; she is not as good as last time Bai Yu, although she looks a bit sloppy.

……

Within two days, Chen Maocai finally came back.Zhang Ning immediately sent him to meet in the back hall of the county government.

As soon as Chen Maocai came in, Zhang Ning first asked him what was the reason for the delay, and he explained: "It's absurd to say that Bai Fengjiao, the daughter of King Miao, willfully wanted to be an envoy to see His Highness, and she didn't want you to know, so she put me under house arrest! As Your Highness But those Miao people followed Bai Fengjiao's temper and wouldn't let me go, alas."

"I already guessed that that woman is Bai Fengjiao, why did she come to see her in person?" Zhang Ning asked.

Chen Maocai picked up the tea and took a sip, and let out a breath of "ha", without the usual elegance and affectation, probably he was really thirsty just after returning from the journey, he stared and said: "Why? I'm looking for opportunities to meet her maid Bai Yan said a few words, it seems that it was because Bai Yan said that His Highness is handsome and handsome, and wanted to meet..."

"This is not the time to joke." Zhang Ning said.

Chen Maocai hurriedly said: "Even if the late student is a mad student, he would not dare to joke in front of His Highness at will."

Zhang Ning sighed: "There is still a difference between barbarians and our Central Plains."

"That's not it." Chen Maocai said, "By the way, let's not talk about this for now. I have something very important to do when I come back this time." After he finished speaking, he took out a letter from his clothes, "Privately sent by Bai Fengjiao The letter said that Zhu Yong, the Duke of Cheng, sent an envoy, but it is unclear what his intentions are."

Zhang Ning hurriedly tore open the letter, saw that the handwriting was delicate, it really looked like it was written by a woman, he didn't bother to ask Chen Maocai to see if it was Bai Fengjiao's handwriting, his attention was all attracted by Zhu Yong's emissary. [

Chen Maocai said: "When Zhu Yong first joined Luxi, he first dealt with the Miao people's rebellion. He shouldn't be willing to make peace with the Miao people... Could it be the court's idea?"

"Never mind whether we really want to negotiate a peace or not, Zhu Yong's intention is very obvious. He wants to divide the Suzaku army and the Miao army so that they can be divided and attacked." Zhang Ning said affirmatively.He still didn't say a few words, if the Miao people really agreed to be recruited by the court, the situation would be very bad if Zhang Ning and others were surrounded by enemies in Gaodu County.In any case, even if the Miao people stand by and watch the fire from the other side, it is much better than being recruited by the government to "treat crimes and make meritorious deeds".

Zhang Ning stood up and walked back and forth in front of the chair for a few steps. He could no longer pretend to be calm and seemed a little restless.Lao Xu, Hou Mao and others who accompanied Chen Maocai to meet Chen Maocai could not help but look sideways.

"You have to go back to the Miao people as soon as possible and tell them what is good or bad. This is not enough. You have to give benefits. Promise them that our Vermilion Bird Army will help them capture the capital city of Chenzhou, which they have been unable to attack for a long time, to show our sincerity in the alliance." Zhang Ning thought for a while, "I'll go with you myself!"

Lao Xu and the others, who had been silent all this time, couldn't sit still and tried to dissuade him.Hou Mao said that the Vermilion Bird Army cannot lack him to preside over the overall situation. Old Xu came directly: "Those Miao people will send envoys to show their friendship at one time, and flirt with Zhu Yong at the next. How can they be trusted? Once the Dong family is gone, what if they talk to the Dong family? What should I do if I catch him and ask for credit?"

Chen Maocai also expressed his opinion immediately: "If your highness can trust you, I'd better go, and I will be able to set off in a few days."

Zhang Ning looked around and sighed: "Everyone's words are all good intentions, but the risk is not just this one time. If the Miao people turn against each other, which is more important, the danger or joining the Miao army? I don't believe Mr. Chen's eloquence, but The pros and cons of it, I have to talk about it in person to be at ease. It will only be a few days, and the delay will not be long. These days, the military and political affairs will be presided over by the Senate Department. I will meet Commander Wei Bin first, and I will set off in the afternoon."

Seeing his decisive attitude, Lao Xu asked to go with him.Zhang Ning said decisively: "Old Xu has to stay in the Senate. I will be the official envoy for this trip, Chen Maocai will be the deputy envoy, and Wang Xian and other 12-man guards will be the guards. No one else needs to ask for orders."

As soon as the words were finished, a man came out from behind the curtain and said, "Let's go with Ping An. Since Bai Fengjiao has some friendship, if there is a private meeting, it will be more convenient for me to be a woman."

The person who spoke was Peach Blossom Fairy, Zhang Ning paused, then nodded and said, "Okay, you come with us."

The itinerary is a bit rushed, and the plan can't keep up with the changes. If this kind of thing happens, you can't make a quick decision, and you will be afraid that the night will be full of dreams.Old Xu was worried that Zhang Ning's so-called personal soldiers would be unreliable, because after all, they came here for a relatively short time, so he went out of the back hall to find the team named Wang Xian and explained to him. Unexpectedly, Wang Xian patted his chest and said, "If we were afraid of death, we would I won’t ask for the way to vote. Master Xu, just rest assured, whoever dares to touch the Third Highness, unless we all die in battle.”

Zhang Ning roughly packed up the accompanying things, and when he picked up the letter, he couldn't help but ask Chen Maocai next to him: "Look at the handwriting on it, is it written by Bai Fengjiao?"

Chen Maocai took it and pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "It should be, but I have only seen her writing once, so I'm not too sure."

Why did Bai Fengjiao privately send a letter revealing that Chen Maocai brought back the news?Zhang Ning couldn't help trying to figure out the woman's mind again, maybe she really played a role in this matter.
