Chapter 54 The General Loves the Country Girl (24)
Before entering the palace, she met the Second Prince, which made her more determined not to go for the marriage. This was not only a mission, but also the reaction of this body when she met the Second Prince. The fear and despair in her heart made Ning Shu sad.
She didn't even have the thought of resisting, only fear, like a lamb to be slaughtered.
Ning Shu packed up for a while and went to the imperial study to find Li Wen.
As if knowing Ning Shu's return in advance, the eunuch beside Li Wen let Ning Shu in directly.
Ning Shu took a deep breath and walked in. Li Wen was reviewing memorials. When Ning Shu came in, he didn't even look up. It was not until Ning Shu bowed that Li Wen put down the cinnabar pen in his hand, looked at Ning Shu and asked, "Have you had your meal?"
"No." Ning Shu said honestly, "I'm upset and can't eat."
Li Wen hummed and said directly, "Helian Ying, the second prince of Beimo, wants to marry you and make peace with the two countries. What do you think?"
Ning Shu sneered. The Huns are the Huns. Do they think that calling them Beimo makes them look more noble?
"Do you want to hear a lie or the truth, my brother?" Ning Shu looked straight at Li Wen.
Li Wen raised his eyebrows, "Just say it."
Ning Shu knelt on the ground, bit her lip and said, "I don't want to marry you."
"Oh, the reason?" Li Wen's expression was indifferent, as if he was not surprised by Ning Shu's refusal.
"I have fought with Helian Ying. He is very powerful, and above him there is an even more powerful prince." Ning Shu gritted her teeth and said. Since coming to this world, Ning Shu has known the original owner's marriage partner clearly. According to the original owner's memory, the two fought fiercely after the original owner married.
"Did they fight? Were you hurt?" Li Wen's eyes were shining, and he looked at Ning Shu with a gentle look.
"Royal brother, a robber is a robber. The Xiongnu plundered the border of Dayong and killed the people of Dayong Dynasty. Such robbery should not be forgiven. I have enjoyed the glory of the royal family, so I can go to marry and repay the royal family, but such behavior can only encourage the other party's arrogance."
"How can the dignified Dayong Dynasty compromise like this? How can it be worthy of those people on the border." Ning Shu gritted his teeth and said.
"And this time, the Xiongnu not only want to marry the princess of the Great Yong Dynasty, but also want to take away the people's wealth. This kind of thing will happen again after the first time." Ning Shu's tone was a little sad and angry
. This was no longer to persuade Li Wen, but the original owner's feeling. The original owner saw with his own eyes that the people on the border were captured and made into slaves, but at that time, the original owner himself was in hell, struggling in pain, and lived a more miserable life than those slaves.
Li Wen's face was a little cold. I don't know if it was because of Ning Shu's words or because of other reasons. Li Wen's momentum was very cold now. The majesty and solemnity of the emperor made Ning Shu a little breathless.
Ning Shu gritted her teeth, knelt on the ground, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Brother, I am willing to be your vanguard and make your dynasty a dynasty that does not marry, pay compensation, cede land, or pay tribute. The emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies for the country, and people from all directions come to pay homage."
Li Wen was stunned, looked at Ning Shu with a complicated look, and said: "What do you want to do?"
"Cut off the hand of the Huns that has reached into Dayong, and then beat it until it is afraid. I am willing to lead the army to the battlefield and will not stop until I die." Ning Shu said in a sonorous and powerful voice, and even his body trembled slightly.
Li Wen smiled, walked around the desk, walked in front of Ning Shu, stretched out his hand to help Ning Shu up, and said with a smile: "Throughout the ages, has there been any women leading the army?"
There are too many, such as Hua Mulan and Mu Guiying, as if there is no precedent in this world. "I will not let you go to the marriage alliance. As for the matter of taking command, I will think about it again. Let's go to dinner." Li Wen said gently, like a brother, "Jiahui, you are sensible now."
Every time Ning Shu heard Li Wen say that he was sensible, he would sweat
. After leaving the imperial study, Ning Shu's whole body was weak, and his back was covered with cold sweat. The heavy stone in his heart was finally put down.
After returning to the Lanyuan Palace, Ning Shu ate a little and lay on his bed to sleep. He didn't know how long he slept. He was woken up by Miao Qing, who said that there was a banquet to entertain the Beimo envoys.
Ning Shu took off his light riding clothes and put on the long-lost luxurious princess palace clothes. His head was full of head ornaments, and the long sleeves were very complicated. Ning Shu felt a little uncomfortable and felt that his neck was about to be crooked by the things on his head.
Miao Qing wanted to follow Ning Shu, but how could Ning Shu let her do what she wanted? She would not let her see Li Wen, and she would die of thirst.
With Miao Qing's resentful and deeply hidden eyes, Ning Shu walked towards the banquet hall.
The hall was brightly lit, and the sound of stringed instruments poured into every corner of the hall, mixed with the intoxicating sound, forming an addictive luxury and enjoyment.
Ning Shu walked into the hall, and the atmosphere in the palace became solemn. Everyone was looking at Ning Shu. Ning Shu felt fucked up. These men enjoyed themselves and used a woman to marry in exchange for peace. Are they still men?
"Jiahui, come here." Li Wen waved at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu ignored the strong eyes of the second prince from the Beimo envoys, walked up to Li Wen, saluted Li Wen, and then sat in his seat.
Helian Ying's eyes followed him like a shadow, and Ning Shu felt like a nail piercing his body, very uncomfortable.
Look at your sister, Ning Shu glared at Helian Ying, and then froze for a moment. He didn't pay attention to this guy when he was fighting with him before, but now he saw that this guy looked really wild, with loose hair, a slightly open collar, a necklace that was probably made of wolf teeth hanging around his neck, a wasp waist and narrow hips, bronze skin, deep contours, and full of masculinity and wildness.
Unlike the men of the Yong Dynasty, the men of the Yong Dynasty pay attention to elegance and nobility.
Tsk tsk, no matter how good he looks, it can't cover up his scumbag attributes. He is wild and cruel. Such a man is a nightmare for women.
Seeing Ning Shu looking at him, the second prince Helian Ying showed his white teeth to Ning Shu, with a look of determination to win, especially when the other party looked at him with a cold look, Helian Ying felt that the blood in his heart began to boil.
It was like a wild wolf found its target, with a cruel gaze and expectation.
Unlike before when he was wearing light clothes, he was heroic and fierce. Now he was dressed in gorgeous clothes with a cold look. He looked unusually proud and noble against the backdrop of his gorgeous clothes.
Helian Ying suddenly smiled. His white teeth reflected a snow-white light under the light, which made people feel cold.
Helian Ying raised his wine glass and poured a glass of wine to Ning Shu from a distance. His eyes were shining. Ning Shu sneered and turned his head away without looking at him, pretending that he didn't see Helian Ying's toast.
