Fortunate Young Gentleman

The Western Region is very large, and in terms of area, it is not inferior to any other country in Chen and Chu.

In this desert, there are dozens of countries of different sizes, and hundreds of horse thieves gather. There are dangers everywhere. In addition, the languages ​​of the countries are not clear, and the transmission of information will naturally not be as good as Chen Chu. Swift.

Tangning was unable to verify whether the guard's words were true or false for a short period of time, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he had no reason to lie to him.

And if Xiaowan really went to war with Dayue Wusun and the border fell into flames of war, Tangning didn't think a dozen of them could reach Xiaowan City safely.

Although Old Beggar and Old Zheng were powerful, they were humans and not gods. They could compare one to ten, dozens, or even hundreds, but they could not compare one to thousands. Tang Ning had seen a real battlefield, a battlefield with hundreds of thousands of troops. , the impact of personal force is almost nonexistent.

Of course, if the old beggar and Old Zheng can sneak into the enemy's tent among thousands of troops and take the enemy general's head, personal force will still have some effect.

At this moment, Tangning was sitting in the so-called "Imperial Palace" of Wutanzi Kingdom, with a jade seal in front of her. The former king had been imprisoned by the guards.

About half a year ago, the former leader of the Wutanzi Kingdom successfully launched a coup and usurped power. Six months later, Tang Ning also overthrew his rule.

He looked at the seal of the leader of the Wutanzi Kingdom in front of him, with a hint of doubt on his face. Then he looked at Bahar and asked: "Are you all so hasty in choosing the leader of the Western Region? Is this a fraud?"

Bahar hurriedly explained: "Young master, you don't know. These small countries in the Western Regions are like this. The seal of the king is the only evidence to prove the identity of the king. No matter who gets this seal, he can become the master of the country. ”

He continued to explain to Tangning: "In small countries like Shan Huan and Wu Tan Zi, it is extremely easy to launch coups and rebellions are also frequent. This will cause domestic instability and the people will suffer greatly. In order to stabilize the country, they have a national Lord Seal, even if those rebels rebelled and did not get the seal, they are not legitimate rulers of the country, and the other countries do not recognize them. In this way, very few people will rebel..."

After listening to Bahar's explanation, Tangning finally understood what the royal seal was.

This thing is actually a symbol, a symbol of mutual recognition among the countries in the Western Regions. The person holding the seal is the leader of the country, and the people who are loyal to him are also the leaders recognized by the countries. In this way, even if someone wants to usurp the throne, he will not be able to get the country. The main seal is not recognized by other countries, which is also a thankless task.

And even those horse thieves with more than a thousand people in the desert are more numerous than many small countries in the Western Region, but they are not considered a country.

The importance of the king's seal is evident.

Bahar looked at him and said tentatively: "Young master, you might as well accept the seal of the ruler of the Wutanzi Kingdom. As the ruler of the Wutanzi Kingdom, it will be much easier for you to act in the Western Regions."

Tangning was moved by Bahar's words. Of course, he didn't want to become an emperor. There is nothing good about being an emperor with 300 people. What he cares about is that having this special status will help him in the Western Region. walk.

If he really faces Xiaowan in the future, his status as the leader of the Wutanzi Kingdom is equivalent to that of the leader of Xiaowan. Their negotiations are also negotiations between countries, which will invisibly increase his heavyweight bargaining chips.

He thought for a while, looked at Bahar, and said, "Go and call Sadiq in."

Sadiq was the guard leader. After Tang Ning obtained the seal of the leader of Wutanzi Kingdom, he simply declared his allegiance to him.

Soon, a figure walked in from outside. He put a hand on his chest, bowed and saluted Tangning, and said respectfully, "Sadiq has met the king."

Sadiq's Chinese was pretty good, but he didn't need Bahar's translation. In fact, because of the close connection with Chen State, many people in the countries in the Western Regions could speak fluent Chinese.

Tangning did not refuse this time, because he really needed the status of the leader of the Wutanzi Kingdom. Of course, he would not be the leader of a small country in the Western Regions for a long time. The most he could do was wait until the affairs in the Western Regions were over, and then pass the throne to others. .

He looked at Sadiq and asked, "Does the other countries in the Western Region need the consent of the Ucuzi Kingdom to establish a new ruler?"

"No need." Sadik shook his head and said: "Countries cannot interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. The issue of establishing a country leader is only a matter for the country. In fact, rebellions often occur in other countries, and the country leaders change frequently. …”

Tangning just asked casually. What he really wanted to ask was another matter.

He looked at Sadiq and asked, "You just said that Dayue and Wusun gathered 100,000 troops to jointly deal with Xiaowan. What happened?"

Sadiq said: "In the past twenty years, Xiaowan has expanded too fast. Twenty years ago, Xiaowan was still a small country with only a thousand people. But now, they have tens of thousands of mercenaries. On the contrary, Wusun He Dayue, in the past twenty years, has become much weaker than before. They feel that Xiaowan has the ambition to unify the Western Region, and they must curb Xiaowan's footsteps, otherwise, they will be the ones who are annexed in the end... "

Tangning had already done enough homework on Xiaowan before coming to the Western Regions.

Twenty years ago, the population was just over a thousand. If it weren't for the abundance of beauties in the country, most people wouldn't even know that there was such a country in the Western Region.

But now, Xiaowan has become Chen State's biggest enemy, with hundreds of thousands of troops, and has become a real giant country in the Western Regions.

I think Chen Huang would be very happy to hear the news that Xiaowan was besieged by Dayue and Wusun. He likes to watch the snipe and clams fight and reap the benefits. Although Dayue and Wusun are powerful, they have never been able to deal with Chen Guo. With a disobedient heart, if the Western Region falls into Xiaowan's hands, he may not be able to cure this problem in the Western Region before he dies.

Sadiq looked at Tangning and asked, "Does the king have to go to Xiaowan?"

Tangning nodded and said, "I have to go."

Sadiq sighed and said: "The king of the country does not know. The Western Region becomes more dangerous as you go west. On the outskirts of the desert, there are only some small countries and a small group of horse thieves. If you go deeper into the desert, there will be thousands of people." Even in a large country with tens of thousands of people, large gangs of horse thieves have begun to appear. Even if the Wu Caizi country uses all its strength, it cannot escort the king..."

Because of the border with Chen State, the small countries on the edge of the Western Region are relatively safe, and there are not a large number of horse thieves who dare to run wild here. Although there are small countries in the deep Western Region in history, they have been eliminated by the times in the desert, like Wu Tan. A small country like Zi with a population of only a few hundred has no place deep in the desert.

However, no matter how difficult the road ahead was, Tang Ning would not change her mind.

With this matter in mind, Tang Yaoyao walked in from the door.

When Sadiq saw her, he bowed respectfully and said, "Sadiq has met the Mother of the Nation."

Tang Yaoyao's face turned red and asked, "What did you call me?"

Sadiq said: "The wives of the country's leader are naturally the country's mother and concubines."

Although Tang Yaoyao's face was red, she was secretly happy in her heart. The mother of the country was the mother of a country and the empress of the palace, but there were Xiao Ru and Xiao Yi in front of her. If Tang Ning was the emperor, she could only be regarded as a concubine at most...

Then she thought that if Tang Ning was really the emperor, she would be in the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard. She looked at him with some shame and asked, "Your Majesty, how many concubines do you plan to have?"

Tang Ning heard the jealousy in her tone and knew that Tang Yaoyao was still blaming him for being a promiscuous woman, causing her to have a few more sisters. She shook her head and smiled: "When you are in the country, do as the Romans do..."

There are only more than 300 people in Wutanzi Kingdom, and the king's harem should not have many people.

Tang Yaoyao glanced at Sadiq and asked, "How many concubines did your former king have?"

Sadiq counted the numbers on his hands and said: "The former king had a mother and twenty-nine concubines..."
