Chapter 171 Congion
Ning Tanger originally wanted to say that I was willing to go to the Wei Palace for you. If there is no credit, there will always be hard work. However, the environment and atmosphere at this moment made Ning Tanger open her mouth and finally swallowed the last sentence back into her stomach.
If Lou Xun still has a trace of feelings for her, is it necessary for her to say these words? Why did the man who once held her, had indescrable tenderness to her, and vowed to her, is now cold, as if to reject her thousands of miles away, even if it is close to each other, that kind of high indifference also makes Ning Tanger give birth. It seems that what she is in front of her is not the one she misses bitterly, but just strangers passing by each other.
Lou Xun looked at Ning Tanger blankly for a long time, and then asked, "Of course I know you, but after leaving Weijun for so long, where did you go?"
"My concubine, I couldn't leave Weijun at all." As soon as Ning Tanger thought of the experience before being rescued, she couldn't help trembling." As soon as I left Weijun City, I was clicked on the acupuncture point and was taken into the carriage. Then I was drowsy all the way. I didn't know how many days I walked, and then I was locked in a dark room. Except for someone who brought water and food, that place was simply called Tiantian Ying, and the place was not working. Later, my concubine knew that I had been abted by the King of Wu and was imprisoned in the Wu Palace. Until a few days ago, somehow, they brought me to the capital and locked me in the small mill. My concubine was away. I thought that I would never see the emperor again in my life!"
"Uh-huh!" Lou Xun slowly nod his head, "So it seems that the person who kidnapped you is indeed the King of Wu. So is it He Ning who brought you to the capital?"
"I don't know my concubine," Ning Tanger thought for a moment and said, "My concubine only heard that his two servants called him Mr. He. He Ning, and the emperor said it was probably right."
Lou Xun smiled and pointed to Lang Dingyuan and said to Ning Tanger, "Take a closer look. Has He Ning ever taken you to see General Lang?"
Shuang'er's heart thumped. It turned out that Lou Xun was still verifying the authenticity of Lang Dingyuan's words and said trust and dependence. In fact, she was afraid that Lou Xun would not trust anyone at all. Shuang'er glanced at Lou Xun, and her indescribably awkwardness and hair stood up.
Ning Tanger half stood up, looked at Lang Dingyuan, and then turned back and shook her head to Lou Xun. "I have never seen this general. Since entering the capital, He Ning has been covering my eyes with a black scarf, and at least changed the concubine in four or five places."
"Oh? Four or five places, interesting." Lou Xun asked with great interest, "So before shutting you in the small mill, you may have heard where they took you?"
Ning Tanger thought for a moment, "There are two places that are very close to each other. It seems to be in someone's mansion. During the day, there are young men who come to bring tea and water. It is relatively quiet at night. Almost no one comes to disturb my concubine all night. The other two places are far away. People who cross the city and cross the street for most of the day. Of course, they may also be in circles. Because the maidservant had heard several identical hawks.
Lou Xun listened and meditated for a long time and said, "If you hear those hawking again, can you recognize them?"
"Of course, the emperor," Ning Tanger replied, "But the capital is so big that it is not easy to find the same hawking voice on the same street."
Lou Xun did not immediately answer Ning Tanger, but asked Lang Dingyuan, "General Lang, what do you think?"
Lang Dingyuan sighed gently and replied faintly, "What do you think? The old minister didn't understand what the emperor meant. If the emperor wanted to find He Ning and his colleagues, he would take this Miss Ning to look for a sound and look for a needle in a haystack. What's more, the old minister just heard what Miss Ning described that He Ning should be a more cautious and cunning person. He kept changing his residence and still circled around the city in case he was Ning Gu. My mother knew where to stay, so once he learned that the assassin had failed, and Miss Ning was saved for us, he would be like a frightened bird, and how could he return to his original place to hide.
"No, no, no", Lou Xun shook his head with a smile. "I think that He Ning deliberately took the man in circles, not to be afraid that his own foothold would be discovered, but to protect his friend in the capital, a person who can help He Ning make a plan to assassinate me. This person not only knows that the palace is heavily guarded, but also I know my whereabouts well, so I instructed He Ning to arrange the location of the assassination at the Huanglao Temple. This person may have followed me. I feel afraid when I think about it. If I let this kind of eating inside and outside, Mingli is loyal to me, but collude with the thieves of the king of Wu behind his back to continue to stay by my side, won't my head? It can fly at any time, and there is nothing to be happy about the assassination that I just narrowly avoided.
"If that's the case," Lang Dingyuan still said blankly, "We really should think about how to find this person."
"Yes, the King of Wu is not terrible, the King of Wei is not terrible, and He Ning is not even more terrible. The terrible is always those two-faced and three-sold villains. They are loyal and treacherous, which makes people unable to guard against it. If this person is taken out by me, he will definitely cut him with thousands of knives, and give every piece of his meat to the people in the capital to eat together." Lou Xun Yin Mei He said with kindness, and at the same time, he glanced at Ning Tanger, "I still have a guest here, who is your old friend. I wonder if you would like to meet him?"
"My old friend?" Ning Tanger was surprised and said, "I have never had any friends. I don't know the concubine in the palace. I don't know who the emperor is referring to?"
Lou Xun smiled coldly, "I don't know who she is. In short, she said that she was a sister with you. After you left Weijun, you didn't want to have anything to do with me anymore, so she let her Li Daitao stiff and came to me for you. Tanger, I don't know which of you two is true and who is false, so I have to temporarily detain her. Now that you are here, you two will face each other in court, so that I can also understand what's going on.
"Li Daitao is stiff?" Ning Tanger's body shook, "How can it be possible, emperor? My concubine has been locked in the dark room by the King of Wu. I don't know anything about Li Daitao's stiffness at all? The emperor, you don't really believe in the treacherous's provocation and discord, thinking that the concubine deliberately avoided the emperor.
Lou Xun smiled and sighed softly, "Do you think I will be a person who listens to the wind and rain, but I believe that this person must be your old acquaintance and has a very close relationship with you, so it's better to invite her up." Lou Xun waved his hand and signaled to the guard commander, not much. After a while, the commander of the guard escorted a man to the hall again.
However, as soon as this person appeared, not only Ning Tanger, but also Shuanger was shocked and couldn't help covering her mouth and screaming, "Your Majesty, is this still a human being? How did she become like this?"
When Lou Xun saw the panic of the two women, he couldn't help laughing proudly, "Of course, this is the end of daring to deceive me, but the two beloved concubines, don't be afraid. As long as you are single-minded to me and haven't done anything wrong to me, you won't become like her." Lou Xun stopped and said Ning Tanger, who had been frightened, said, "What are you still doing? Don't you come forward to recognize each other when your old friends meet again?"
"Ah!" Ning Tanger seemed to be awakened from a nightmare and trembled all over, "I can't recognize who she is..."
"Then you can get closer and take a closer look," Lou Xun said coldly.
Ning Tanger clenched her lips, tried her best to resist the feeling of nausea and vomiting, tried her best to identify the other party's bloody face, and tried to determine the identity of the other party from the clues.
The garrison commander loosened the chain locked on the other party's pipa bone. The inhuman woman, who was scarred and stained with blood and had been tortured, fell to the ground. Ning Tanger was so scared that she suddenly collapsed and cried, "Your Majesty, I can't recognize it. I really can't recognize it!"
"Madam, it's me, I'm afraid." The woman on the ground slowly turned her face, and a pair of lost luster eyes quietly looked at Ning Tang'er, moaning and spitting out this sentence.
"What, you are afraid. Why are you here?" After Ning Tanger finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that it was Wei'er who restrained her acupuncture point and handed her over to the people who were imprisoned in the king of Wu. In those days when she was imprisoned in the dark room, she also thought of Wei'er countless times and hated Wei'er's behavior countless times, but now she has become like this when she saw Wei'er. In addition to being shocked, Ning Tanger couldn't raise those hatreds any more, because of the hardships she suffered in Wu County. Ning Tanger knew very well how terrible and difficult it was for a woman to suffer such torture, so that she would still tremble and panic when she thought about it until now.
"What on earth are you doing this for?" Ning Tanger asked half sympathetic and half sad and indignant, "You have hurt me and yourself."
The fear on the ground shook his head slowly, "No, madam, I don't want to hurt you. I have never wanted to hurt you. It's just that between you and me, the love is trapped, and it's our own master."
"The love is trapped, and each is the owner." Ning Tanger seemed to understand a little and couldn't help choking and said, "Why do you suffer? Is it worth falling into this step for a word of love?"
Wei'er closed her eyes, and the vague flesh and blood moved, as if she wanted to squeeze out a smile. Unfortunately, it made her face look more horrible and frightening. "Do you think it's worth it, madam?" Wei'er exhaled a long breath, as if she had exhausted all her strength by saying these words.
Ning Tanger was stunned. She turned her hand and looked at her ankle. In order to be afraid that she would escape, He Ning not only abolished her martial arts, but also broke the hamstring of one of her feet. Now that the injury has recovered, she is still disabled for life and can no longer dance. Why does the competition between men make these women who are trapped in love end so tragic, and they have paid so much, but the man in front of him is still high, with an attitude of watching the play that has nothing to do with himself, smiling and admiring them, full of grievances and painful struggles under his feet. What makes Ning Tanger most difficult to accept is that he can still hold another soft jade fragrance in front of him so calmly. Is it worth it? Is she worth it for him?
Ning Tang'er looked at Xiang Louxun with tears and said, "Your Majesty, you used to be the maidservant of a concubine, so she is very familiar with everything about the concubine. However, her means are hateful. She is just a pawn serving the king of Wu. The emperor can take her in one sentence anytime and anywhere. Why did the emperor torture her to death? Ask the emperor for his kindness and give her a glass of poisoned wine, which fulfilled her wish.
Ning Tanger said and looked at Wei'er. She saw that Wei'er's eyes were full of gratitude and nodded to her frequently. It was indeed worse than death. At this time, Ning Tanger could understand what Wei'er was thinking.
"Hmm," Lou Xun sneered when he heard the words, "Dead? Speaking of lightness, isn't that too cheap for her? I'm afraid that the person who dares to come to me to do fine work has already made a plan to die. Tanger, you don't have to plead for her. What's going on between you? I won't pursue it for the time being, but I will never take advantage of people who dare to tease me. I will definitely want her to have a good taste. It's not as good as death. Otherwise, if everyone in the world learns from her, I can still stay in this position for a few days, not to mention..." Lou Xun said as he turned his body and took Shuang'er's hand and said, "I also promised to treat you to barbecue. If you don't have a joke, how can I say it without faith?"
