Fortunate Young Gentleman

On the second day after the funeral of the King of Chu, the army of 100,000 had already assembled outside the capital, and today was the day to set off.

Although the rebellion of King Zhou this time caused considerable turmoil in the country, it was not entirely a bad thing. King Xin had just come to power, and it was the time to establish his authority. If this battle was fought well, the majesty of the new emperor would be completely established, and the evil-minded people in all directions would be deterred.

The Chen State delegation had already been prepared, and the accompanying ministers and guards were waiting to set off outside the Jinxiu Palace.

Lu Teng walked over slowly, looked at Tang Ning and said, "Lord Tang, the army outside the city is about to set off, we have to set off."

Tang Ning stood outside the Jinxiu Palace, looking in the direction of the palace, and said, "Wait a little longer."

Someone promised to come and see him off in person when they left. Tang Ning asked the guards at the palace gate to pass on the message yesterday, but she has not appeared yet.

When she left the State of Chen, she left quietly, and now there was no trace of her. Tang Ning looked in a certain direction, frowning slightly.

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Teng came over again and said, "Lord Tang, the army outside the city has already set out. If we don't leave now, it will be too late."

Tang Ning took a last look in that direction and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go."

This time, in addition to the 800 guards led by Lu Teng, the Chu State also sent people to escort them. There was also a large army ahead, so there was no need to worry about any safety issues.

Today, Zhao Man set off to return to Chen State. Last night, she was so excited that she didn't sleep all night. She pulled Tang Ning to accompany her to watch the stars for half the night.

Wan Yan Yan prepared a huge bag like she was moving house. She carried it on her back like a huge snail. Her bag alone occupied an entire carriage.

Tang Shui got off the carriage, looked at him, and asked, "Do you want to wait?"

The team in front had already started to set off. Tang Ning shook his head and said, "No, get on the car."

The 100,000-man army had already set out. The delegation had been more than ten miles out of the capital. Tang Ning rode on the horse and confirmed that she would not come. Finally, he stopped looking back.

Thinking of how he rode dozens of miles to see her off when she left, he felt a little disappointed and whispered, "What kind of person is she who doesn't keep her word..."

"Are you talking about me?" A young general rode up from behind him. Tang Ning turned to look at her and almost fell off the horse.

He looked at Li Tianlan and said in surprise, "Why are you dressed like this?"

If Tang Ning hadn't seen her in men's clothing, he would have thought she was a young general.

Her appearance made her look even more heroic, as if this armor and uniform was tailor-made for her.

Li Tianlan said, "The rebellion of King Zhou is not ordinary. I'll go check it out."

Tang Ning thought she was here to see him off, but she just had a mission and couldn't even tell a lie. She was really a woman who didn't understand romance.

Tang Ning glanced at her and asked, "Is there any hidden reason for King Zhou's rebellion?"

"It has something to do with those people on the grassland." Li Tianlan said, "They did not return to the grassland, but went around to the south. King Zhou and those generals were controlled by them."

"Control?" Tang Ning frowned and asked, "Is the news true?"

"I don't know yet." Li Tianlan said, "I will go to Cangzhou to investigate first. It would be best if we don't use weapons. What they want to see most is that we kill each other."

Tang Ning said, "I will go with you."

The second prince and others are not to be worried about. What needs to be worried is the middle-aged woman.

The King Zhou and those generals should be controlled by her poison. Tang Ning also knows a little about poison, so he knows very well that in this world, death is not the most terrible thing. There are many things that are more terrible than death.

Under that kind of threat, it only takes a few times for people to be tortured to the point of being worse than death. Even people with great perseverance will lose their will and forget their relatives.

Although Li Tianlan is a powerful martial artist, he is hard to guard against poison. What if he falls into the trap set by the middle-aged woman?

After all, this is not the first time she has acted like this. The bandit leaders outside Fengzhou were controlled by her with poison. Unless they are brave warriors who are not afraid of death, once she succeeds, they will have no choice but to obey her.

Even if he is poisoned, Li Tianlan will not listen to her, but this is what Tang Ning is worried about.

Li Tianlan looked at him and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm worried about you." Tang Ning pulled the reins and said, "You don't know, the woman next to the second prince is very evil, you can't deal with her, not to mention, if she is using poison to control King Zhou and others, how are you going to save them?"

"You also know about poison?" Li Tianlan looked at him in surprise and asked, "What else have you learned in a year?"

"I know a lot." Tang Ning looked at her and said, "I'll show you when I have the chance."

Li Tianlan tightened the reins and said, "Let's go in an hour."

The army has just left the capital. If they wait until the enemy is at the gates of the city, those states will have already deployed defenses and it will be difficult to enter the city.

To investigate King Zhou's rebellion, they must rush to Cangzhou in advance.

Tang Ning walked to the front of Tang Shui's carriage, knocked on the carriage, lifted the curtain, and said, "Cousin, I have something to do and I have to go first. I'm worried that something might happen to the princess. Please help me take care of her these days."

Tang Shui looked at him and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Cangzhou."

"You are not allowed to go." Tang Shui looked at him and said, "Before I left, my aunt asked me to take care of you. I won't let you take risks."

Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "Have you told your mother when you came to Chu?"

"..." Tang Shui looked away and said, "I told her."

Tang Ning looked unconvinced: "Swear on your conscience."

Tang Shui looked at him and said calmly, "I am your sister. I have the responsibility to discipline you. If I say you can't go, you can't go."

"Don't worry, I'm not going alone." Tang Ning looked at her and said, "I will bring Lao Zheng with me. You know Lao Zheng, the one with a knife behind him. With him, there is nothing to worry about."

Tang Ning spent a lot of time to convince Tang Shui. Although she was just a cousin, and a cousin he picked up, he had already regarded her as a real relative. She could travel thousands of miles to a neighboring country to find him regardless of her safety. A real sister is no more than that.

In addition to Lao Zheng, Tang Ning and Li Tianlan also planned to bring Wan Yan Yan with them this time.

In case of any accidents, bringing her with her would also be a restraint for the second prince. Although the second prince didn't seem to care about his sister, Wan Yan Yan still had a lot of say among those grassland people.

After explaining the situation to Wanyan Yan, she jumped off the carriage, looked at him and asked, "Why do you want to leave first?"

Tang Ning said, "It's urgent. I'll explain it to you on the way."

Wanyan Yan jumped on the carriage again and said, "Wait for me to take my things."

Tang Ning grabbed her wrist and said, "How can you travel with these? Don't worry, I'll have someone help you look after these, and I'll return them to you when they arrive in Cangzhou."

Wanyan Yan looked back reluctantly and said, "Then you keep your word."

Time was urgent, so Tang Ning stayed with Zhao Man for a while, and Li Tianlan rode over.

Tang Ning climbed on the horse and waved to Zhao Man, "We're leaving."

"Be careful..." Zhao Man lifted the curtain, looked at Wanyan Yan and Li Tianlan, and looked at him reluctantly, saying, "I'll wait for you to come back..."
