Fortunate Young Gentleman

After taking the antidote and spending the night, the soldiers who were poisoned yesterday were full of life again. Doctor Wang carefully checked them again and confirmed that there were no problems with their bodies.

None of the bandits from last night had left. More than a dozen bandit leaders stood in a row outside the tent. When they saw Tang Ning approaching, they immediately said: "Sir, we must behave well in the future and never do evil. Please give us the antidote... …”

Men are all bastards, and you can't believe a single punctuation mark in their words. At this time, you are patting your chest and promise to be a good person. Maybe after he leaves, you will start killing people and selling goods.

Tangning waved her hand and said, "I don't have an antidote now, but as long as you keep your word, someone will give you an antidote in a year."

In fact, he just said casually last night that he could detoxify and poison at the same time. With his current poison skills, he was far from being able to do it.

After hearing this, more than ten people were all depressed. However, compared to last night, there was still a glimmer of hope. At least their lifespan could be extended for one year, which was much better than bleeding from all the orifices and destroying all the internal organs today.

Lu Teng walked forward with a bun in his hand and said, "Master Tang, these people are very familiar with the road in Shililin. We will set off at noon today and we can go out before dark."

After all, these people are of some use. If they were to figure it out on their own and set out at noon, they might have to spend another night here.

Tang Ning had breakfast and had another one delivered to the little barbarian girl in the tent. As soon as she finished wiping her mouth, a palace maid came over and said she was summoned by the princess.

Zhao Yingying summoned him at least eight times a day, and he had long been used to it along the way.

He walked into Zhao Man's account, and before she could speak, she asked: "Did you leave that woman in your tent for the night last night?"

Zhao Man looked at him and said angrily: "Are you worthy of sister Xiaoru and sister Xiaoyi by doing this..."

"I didn't do anything." Tangning looked at her and explained, "I just asked her a few questions to find out her identity and origins."

She looked at Tangning: "You really didn't do anything?"

Tangning nodded and said, "Really not."

"I'm just saying, she doesn't look good, and she has a strange smell. You won't like her..." Zhao Man patted her chest and said, "What is her origin?"

"They come from the grassland and should be from the Wanyan Department."

"Prairie people..." Zhao Man raised his head and said, "It would be fine if they snatched me away, and there would be no need to go to Chu Country."

Having said that, she was kidnapped by the prairie people on the way, so she didn't have to go to Chu State, but Tangning didn't have to go back either. If the wedding messenger lost the princess, how could he have the dignity to go back?

Zhao Man looked up at him and asked, "Then what are you going to do with her?"

Tangning thought for a while and said, "Let her go when we get to Chu State."

There is no deep grudge between him and this little barbarian girl. Besides, he doesn't have many resources at his disposal when he is away from home. When the time comes, he may have to rely on their strength.

Moreover, even if he dislikes He Rui, he can't really let him die in the hands of those people. When the time comes, he will have to exchange He Rui back with her.

When he came out of Zhao Man's tent and returned to his place, he saw Wan Yanyan standing in front of the table with the food on the table untouched.

Tangning walked over and asked, "Don't you want to eat something? Don't worry, it's not poisonous."

She glared at Tang Ning and gritted her teeth: "I won't eat your food even if I die."

"Why are you doing this?" Tangning sat down, looked at her and said, "When we get to the capital of Chu, I will naturally let you go. If you starve to death here, what can I give in exchange for our deputy envoy?"

Wanyanyan swallowed and looked away from him angrily.

"Sit down." Tangning looked at her and asked, "Aren't you tired from standing?"

Wan Yanyan clenched her fists and said loudly: "I like to stand, you care about me!"

Tang Ning glanced at her and said, "You can stand if you like. Why are you so fierce? Are all the women on the grassland so barbaric?"

Seeing that Tang Ning ignored her, she was silent for a while and asked, "Where is my whip?"

"I put it away for you," Tangning said, "I will return it to you when I let you go."

He looked at Wanyan Yan again and asked: "Miss Wanyan, can I ask you a question, why are your Wanyan Department so eager to unify?"

"Only when everyone's strength comes together can we defeat a powerful enemy." Wanyanyan gritted her teeth and said, "But you cunning Han people sold food and weapons to Shuhu and Jiagubu, allowing the warriors on the grassland to free themselves. Killing each other, you are all bad people.”

Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "But if you rob our food and kill the Han people, aren't you bad people?"

Wan Yanyan patted the table and said, "Your army often enters the prairie and robs our cattle and sheep. Without our cattle and sheep, we will starve to death!"

In fact, it is difficult to describe the affairs between countries in terms of right and wrong. It is just about the weak and the strong. It is difficult to judge the right and wrong.

Tangning looked at her and asked, "Did you want to assassinate the princess and the envoy last night?"

Wanyan Yan did not answer.

Tangning looked at her again and asked, "But what's wrong with the princess? She can't make her own decision about her marriage. She's been deprived of happiness. She's been far away from her hometown and can't go back for the rest of her life. What did she do wrong to incur your consequences? Assassination?"

Wan Yanyan opened her mouth and was speechless for a moment. After a moment, she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth: "Even if they are not bad people, you are also a bad person!"

Tangning looked at her and asked, "What's wrong with me?"

Wan Yanyan said angrily: "Spank me!"

It seemed that Tang Ning couldn't make her understand in a short period of time that if she did something wrong, she would be punished. There was no such thing as deep hatred or legitimate defense, and she shouldn't attack a man casually.

She was clearly the perpetrator of the assassination attempt, but she always thought that she was the victim. If she wanted to make her recognize this fact, she must experience the cruelty of reality.

As a prisoner, Tang Ning can feel her conscience. He has been very kind to her. Poor Lord He is still suffering from unknown torture.

Ten Miles Forest, a remote trail.

More than ten figures walked slowly along the deserted path. The atmosphere was a bit noisy. One person followed behind the middle-aged woman and chattered a few words.

The middle-aged woman did not look back and said: "Their deputy envoy is in our hands and will not harm Yan'er. We will wait until we get to the capital of Chu State."

The man turned around and explained a few words to the dozen or so people behind him.

The noisy sounds gradually subsided, and the last person tugged on the rope in his hand, turned around, and said loudly: "Dog Officer, hurry up!"

He Rui's hands were tied with ropes and he staggered on the path.

His hair was messy and his clothes were cut into strips by the branches in the forest. After walking on the mountain road all night, his legs were as heavy as lead. Every step he took was extremely difficult.

But he had to step forward. Once he stopped, he would face a burst of punches and kicks from the people in front of him.

His legs were almost numb, and he was walking on the road in despair. The regret in his heart could no longer be described in words.

It was only now that he finally figured out why the three doctors from the Ministry of Etiquette were either sick or injured after serving as wedding envoys. Along the way, one of Prince Duan's gang members would be left behind in almost every state they visited.

In the past, he was only thinking about how to get rid of Tangning on the road, but now he just wants to survive.

Although the situation was difficult, he was still somewhat grateful.

Following these people, even if it is a bit painful, his life should not be in danger until he reaches Chu State to exchange hostages.

But it was different around Tangning. He might die of illness, diarrhea, or be bitten by bugs. He might even be kidnapped with a knife to his neck while sleeping...

What he regretted most at the moment was taking over the deputy envoy's job.

His feet had lost all feeling and he was just walking mechanically. He felt so sad that he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "I regret it..."

call out!

A whip was drawn from the front. A man pointed the whip at him and said angrily: "What are you talking about? Let's go!"
