Fortunate Young Gentleman

Tang Ning and Wei Jian returned to the imperial study together and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I am here to see you. What is the important matter that you have summoned me for?"

Emperor Chen had just rejected Tang Ning's proposal. If he ordered him to investigate in Guizhou at this moment, it would be a bit of a slap in his own face.

He still had to bring up this matter himself.

He coughed lightly, looked at Tang Ning, and asked, "The stability of Qiandi is closely related to that of Jiangnan. In your opinion, how should the court deal with the affairs of Qiandi?"

Tang Ning said, "I think that although Jiangnan is important, we cannot act rashly. We should send people to Qiandi to investigate clearly before making plans."

Emperor Chen looked at him and said in a gentle and persuasive way, "None of the spies I sent to Qiandi came back. Who do you think is the right person for me to send next?"

"I would first recommend His Royal Highness Prince Huai." Tang Ning said, "His Royal Highness Prince Huai is intelligent and wise, and he is very smart. He will definitely be able to complete this task and live up to His Majesty's trust..."

"Prince Huai?" Emperor Chen shook his head and said, "Prince Huai does have his own unique insights on political affairs, but these things are not his forte."

Tang Ning sighed, "Then I don't know..."

Emperor Chen looked at him and said, "Didn't you just recommend yourself..."

"I thought about it and felt that what you said was right." Tang Ning said, "As the prime minister, I should focus on political affairs and national affairs. How can a prime minister be a spy?"

"..."

"I asked you to go, so you go. Why are you talking so much nonsense!" Seeing that Tang Ning was unmoved, Emperor Chen finally tore off his mask and didn't care about his face at all. He waved his hand and said, "I will give you half a month to prepare. After the New Year, you will go to Guizhou to investigate thoroughly..."

Tang Ning knew that Emperor Chen would be like this. If soft tactics didn't work, he would use hard tactics. He clearly wanted him to go, but he insisted that he ask for it himself to save his face as an emperor.

He just liked to see the emperor lose face. Even the emperor who was high above him had shameless moments.

"Your Majesty has ordered me to do this, I dare not disobey." Tang Ning thought for a moment and said, "But as the Prime Minister, I must have a reason to leave the capital at will..."

Emperor Chen waved his hand and said, "I don't care, you can think of the reason yourself..."

Tang Ning thought for a moment, looked at him, and said, "Your Majesty, I just thought of a reason..."

...

Now he is different from before. When the Prime Minister leaves the capital, there are so many eyes watching. Who knows if there are remnants of Liang in the capital? Naturally, he can't go to Guizhou with a big fanfare to let them be on guard.

Tang Ning's suggestion to Emperor Chen is to give him a few months off after the beginning of the year and let him travel with his family for a while.

He will take his wife all the way to the northeast, and when he leaves the capital, Tang Ning will go back and turn to the southwest. Although this will take more time, it can conceal people's eyes.

This proposal was quickly passed by Emperor Chen.

For Tang Ning, this is a way to kill two birds with one stone and get the best of both worlds.

He didn't know how to convince Xiaoyi. In this case, he was going to Guizhou and would not be in the capital. They would lose their original meaning in the capital. It would be better to go all the way to the northeast, just in time to accept Li Tianlan's invitation.

When Tang Ning came back from Guizhou to bring Su Mei back and solved the last few chores in the capital, he could go to Chu to meet them.

This plan was perfect.

Tang Mansion.

Zhongyi was surprised when she heard his words: "Isn't my husband already the prime minister? Why did His Majesty send you to do such a dangerous thing?"

Tang Ning shook her head and said: "I also told His Majesty, but His Majesty said that only I can complete this task. It is difficult to disobey the king's order..."

"Then you can't let my husband do everything..." Zhongyi's thinking was still traditional. She knew that the king's order could not be disobeyed. After a while of loss, she looked up and asked: "When will my husband leave?"

"Wait until after this year." Tang Ning looked at her and said: "But by then, I still need your cooperation."

Film After a while, Zhong Yi looked at him and asked, "Does your husband want us to go to Chu?"

Tang Ning hugged her and said, "When I bring her back from Guizhou and deal with the affairs of the capital, I will go to Chu to find you."

Zhong Yi thought for a while and asked, "Will His Majesty let you go at that time?"

Tang Ning said, "You don't have to worry about this. Your husband has a good plan."

Zhong Yi thought for a while and nodded and said, "Okay then."

The reason why she refused to go to Chu a few days ago was because she didn't want to be separated from Tang Ning, but now he is going to Guizhou, and he will be gone for several months. There is no difference between them being in the capital and in Chu.

The most difficult one to deal with is the eldest lady. Xiaoru has always listened to Tang Ning, but when Tang Yaoyao came, Tang Ning still encountered some troubles.

Tang Yaoyao did not ask Tang Ning why he went to Guizhou, but simply said, "I will go with you."

Although Tang Ning went to Guizhou this time, just like the last time he went to Jiangnan, both were to carry out secret missions, but the actual situation was completely different.

Jiangnan is a land of fish and rice, with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. He was on a business trip and a leisure trip, so it was okay to bring Tang Yaoyao with him.

Guizhou was different. The landforms of Guizhou were mostly plateaus and mountains. It was known as "eight mountains, one water, and one field". Mountains and hills occupied more than 90% of the area.

Although the scenery of Guizhou must be unique under such a landform, the dangers it contained were also endless.

Jiangnan is at least the territory of the State of Chen. With a token, Tang Ning can mobilize the garrison of a state. Qiandi is someone else's territory. Tang Ning's own safety cannot be guaranteed, so how can he protect her?

He would naturally not let Tang Yaoyao take this risk.

He looked at Tang Yaoyao and said, "You can't go with me, because I have something else to ask you."

Tang Yaoyao asked, "What is it?"

Tang Ning said, "It's a long way to go to the State of Chu. Xiaoru and Xiaoyi don't know martial arts. I feel relieved when you are by my side."

Tang Yaoyao looked embarrassed and said, "But..."

Tang Ning hugged her and said, "Be good."

Tang Yaoyao was immediately deflated and said, "Okay..."

After persuading the two of them, Tang Ning had no worries, but as he said, Jiangnan was still the territory of the State of Chen after all, and Qiandi was completely a foreign country. Once he entered Qiandi, he would have no backup, which was also a very dangerous thing for him.

It is impossible to enter Qiandi with a big fanfare, with hundreds or thousands of people. Tang Ning can only bring two or three people at most when he enters the mountain this time.

One of them is to contact Chen Guo, and this person must be Chen Zhou.

The other person will naturally take on the responsibility of guarding. Tang Ning's current strength is more than enough to protect himself in most cases, but in Qiandi, where he is unfamiliar with the place and everyone is a master of Gu Dao, it is a bit insufficient.

Lao Zheng is Tang Ning's ace guard. Many times, he can only escape danger with him by his side. Tang Ning naturally thinks of him first.

"There are many masters in the Wan Gu Sect. Each of the ten elders is a martial arts master and is proficient in Gu Shu. I can still deal with one or two of them, but if they come together, I can't beat them..." After listening to his words, Lao Zheng shook his head and said, "If you go to Qiandi, I may not be able to protect you."

Lao Zheng has always been targeted and said one thing and two things. If he says he can't beat you, he will definitely not beat you. It seems that the danger in Qiandi is beyond Tang Ning's expectations.

He looked at the old beggar, who shook his head without hesitation and said, "That place is poor and bad, with many insects, so I won't go there."

Tang Ning asked, "Just tell me if you can beat the ten elders."

The old beggar shook his head and said, "No."

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "So, decades ago, you defeated the ten elders of the Wan Gu Sect, stripped them naked and tied them to trees, and defiled the five female elders, weren't you?"

"Slander!" The old beggar was furious and said angrily, "Am I that kind of person? I left a bellyband for those five women, and I didn't take advantage of them. Who is slandering me?"
