Fortunate Young Gentleman

Wan Yanyan left, and before leaving, she restored her Sushen costumes, only took away the ashes of the grassland people, and left her favorite whip, which Tang Ning often called a "toy", to Zhao Man.

She did not have anyone to see her off, but just borrowed a horse from Tang Ning and left alone.

Tang Ning did not know what she finally understood, but there was one thing that was beyond doubt. After this incident, the cruel life finally took action against her, a simple girl, and Wan Yanyan was no longer the heartless little girl.

The world is cruel, but life must go on. Wan Yanyan has her beliefs, and Tang Ning has her own persistence.

The army to suppress the rebellion officially arrived in Cangzhou one day later. Although there was no rebellion to suppress, the biggest purpose of their trip was to show off their power. They were very happy to be able to take five states without a single soldier.

The army passed through the city, and the people lined the streets to welcome them, and the gongs and drums were loud, which was very lively.

Zhao Man and her friends were settled in the post station. When Tang Ning and Lao Zheng went there, Zhao Man was already waiting at the door.

When she saw Tang Ning, she ran a few steps, but then realized that they were outside and stopped.

Tang Ning handed her the whip and said, "This is a gift from Wan Yan Yan."

"This is her favorite thing. When did that little barbarian become so generous?" Zhao Man took the whip and asked in surprise, "Where is she?"

"She's gone."

"Ah?" Zhao Man asked in surprise, "Doesn't she want all her things?"

When she walked into the post station, she squinted and said, "They said that the grassland people are the most loyal. What? She left without even saying hello..."

During the days she stayed in Kyoto, Wan Yan Yan taught Zhao Man how to use the whip and got a lot of jewelry from her. The two of them established a shallow friendship. Zhao Man was quite dissatisfied with her leaving without saying goodbye.

Tang Shui stood in the yard, looked at him and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Nothing." Tang Ning patted his body and said, "I made you worry."

Zhao Man nodded and said, "During the days you were away, your cousin was worried about you!"

Tang Shui glanced at him and said, "If you are in trouble, your aunt will be sad."

Women always say one thing and mean another. These days, everyone was exhausted from following the army in a hurry. Tang Shui went back to his room to rest, while Zhao Man was playing with the whip with great energy.

She played with it for a while, then came over to look at Tang Ning and asked, "Doesn't she like her whip the most? Why did she give it to me?"

Tang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Maybe she thinks she will be more powerful with a knife."

In the eyes of real people in the martial arts world, a soft whip is just a toy. In certain situations, it is indeed just a toy.

Wan Yan Yan abandoned the whip and used the knife because she no longer needed these toys.

Tang Ning looked at Zhao Man. Although people always have to grow up, he also hoped that Zhao Man would never grow up like Wan Yan Yan. The world needs the unruly princesses on the grassland, and also needs the innocent and naive girls.

Zhao Man looked up at Tang Ning, and saw that Tang Ning was also looking at her. She lowered her head and gently rubbed the corners of her clothes, blushing and said: "You are embarrassing me..."

Tang Ning was a little absent-minded just now. After coming to her senses, she said: "Princess, take a rest. I'm going back first."

"Still calling me princess..." Seeing Tang Ning leave, Zhao Man stamped her feet, and felt a little regretful. She murmured: "Why did you say sorry just now..."

Tang Ning returned to his yard and saw Lao Zheng sitting under the eaves sharpening his knife.

He hung a few dead poisonous insects under the corridor, ready to take them back after they were dried, and ask Su Mei if she could use this to find out the origin of the middle-aged woman.

She was obviously a Han Chinese, but she worked for the grassland. She seemed to have a high status and knew poison techniques. There were many suspicious points about her.

Old Zheng turned his head and took a look, and asked, "Is this the Gu that woman raised?"

Tang Ning nodded and said, "It's a pity that the woman ran away."

"Not many people know Gu now." Old Zheng shook his head and said, lowering his head to continue sharpening the knife.

Tang Ning always felt that Old Zheng seemed to know something. Before he had time to ask, he saw Li Tianlan and King Zhou walking in from outside.

King Zhou walked into the courtyard, bowed to him, and said, "Brother Tang."

King Zhou's address to him changed from "Lord Tang" to "little brother" and then to "brother Tang", without considering the seniority. He is Li Tianlan's uncle, and Li Tianlan's uncle is like his brother, so doesn't she become his niece?

Tang Ning returned the greeting with a bow and said, "Greetings, King Zhou."

"Don't be so polite." King Zhou waved his hand and said, "If it weren't for Brother Tang this time, I'm afraid I would be in danger, and those grassland villains would not be killed so quickly. I wanted to thank Brother Tang very much, but the matter is urgent. I have to return to Beijing today to apologize. If there is a chance in the future, I will thank Brother Tang for saving my life."

Tang Ning looked at Li Tianlan and asked, "Are you leaving?"

King Zhou said, "The crisis in Cangzhou has been resolved. The army will stay for a few days before returning to Beijing, but we will set off today."

Tang Ning looked at Li Tianlan and smiled, "Have a good trip."

Li Tianlan said calmly, "Thank you for this time."

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "You're welcome."

King Zhou looked at them and said, "You guys chat, I'm leaving first."

Li Tianlan waved his hand and said, "The generals are waiting outside the city. There is no time."

She looked at Tang Ning and said, "Take care."

Tang Ning nodded, "Take care."

It was a simple farewell, even a little unfamiliar. Tangning could feel that there was a deliberate element in it. Watching her turn and leave, he just smiled, washed his hands, and sat next to Lao Zheng to bask in the sun.

Lao Zheng sharpened the knife, pinned it behind his back, and said, "She likes you. Can't you see that you don't want her to stay?"

"It's obvious." Tangning stretched her body and said, "But she is Li Tianlan. She belongs to the Chu country, and her heart is also in the Chu country. If she wants to leave, no one can keep her."

Her attitude just now showed everything. Tangning knew her very well. A princess who liked to dress up as a man and whose dream was to govern the country and fight on the battlefield would not give up her dream and devote herself to the love of her children just because of the word "like".

This is actually the biggest difference between her and Zhao Man.

Lao Zheng stood up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young man, don't think you understand women well..."

Outside the inn.

King Zhou looked at Li Tianlan and asked, "Just leave like this?"

Li Tianlan paused and clenched his fists in his sleeves.

King Zhou put his hands behind his back and said: "Anyway, we won't see each other again in the future. Just do whatever you want. I'd rather regret it now than later..."

There was no sound from behind for a long time. King Zhou turned around and said in surprise: "Where is the person!"

In the room, Tang Ning poured a cup of tea and prepared to moisten her throat. When she looked up, she saw Li Tianlan striding in from the door.

He looked at her and asked, "What else..."

He only said a few words before she blocked his mouth.

She blocked Tang Ning's mouth with her own. Tang Ning struggled subconsciously, but she pointed her finger on her shoulder and her body could no longer move.

Different from the accidental car crash two days ago, this was a real kiss, a forced kiss.

Tang Ning never thought that one day she would be forcibly kissed by someone, Li Tianlan, who he considered to be the calmest, most rational and least impulsive person.

Her movements were very jerky and wild. Tangning couldn't move her body and stood there blankly. In addition to shock and surprise, she also felt...a little bit of humiliation.

In broad daylight, he was actually raped by a woman.

The strange thing is that that familiar feeling actually came to his mind again. He always felt that this situation seemed to have happened somewhere before.

Zhao Man stood at the door of the room, staring at this scene in a daze, her body trembling and her face pale.

"Shut up!" She rushed in from the outside, crying in her voice, and said aggrievedly: "I haven't kissed you yet..."
