Chapter 64: Arguing and Struggling
The Yulong Ridge was covered with miasma. Even if the captured people walked out of the ground, they did not dare to go out rashly. They all followed Chen Sining's arrangements and stayed on the grass outside the cave, basking in the sun that had not been seen day and night.
Chen Sining stood outside the cave and learned to handle cases since childhood. She developed a character of thinking about the worst in everything. She did not relax her vigilance and kept pressing her hands on the hilt to avoid the remnants of the Hundred-Insect Valley among these people, and gave her some help while others were not prepared.
Zhongli Chuchu and the little sparrow were also alert nearby. Chuchu saw Chen Sining jumping several feet and forcibly stopped the huge rocks of a thousand kilograms. Although it was not worth mentioning compared to Xu Buling, it also felt that it was a big shot among women. At least Da Ning was not so powerful.
Maybe it was a little bored when the master and Xu Buling were a little bored, Zhongli Chuchu got closer and said:
"Miss Chen is very good, how can he practice martial arts?"
Chen Sining and Zhongli Chuchu had only been in contact for a long time, but it was also seen that the exotic girl next to her, except for her bulging front and tilted back, her figure was impressive and beautiful, and she was not as good as her. At this moment, she subconsciously straightened her chest and said with a smile:
"It's normal, practice more often, that's it."
?
If you don’t talk too much, you will have a lot of words.
Zhongli Chuchu pursed her lips, too lazy to talk about this topic of self-esteem, and hugged her arms and looked elsewhere.
Chen Sining was a little talkative. As long as she opened her mouth, she didn't stop. She glanced at Chuchu and asked curiously:
"Miss called Sister Zhong Jiu's master, and she seems to be quite close to Xu Buling. What is your relationship? I haven't figured it out for a long time."
Zhongli Chuchu was not very good at talking about this, and thought for a while: "You will know in the future."
"oh……"
Seeing that Chuchu didn't want to say it, Chen Sining naturally confirmed her guess. She was just a master and apprentice, and she was actually nothing about Xu Buling's identity. It was just that Xu Buling was more fun than she thought, and she even dared to do such things.
The two of them chatted for a while, and Zhongli Jiujiu walked out of the cave with a pile of wooden boxes in her arms.
Zhongli Chuchu came forward to help with his hands, while Chen Sining greeted the people sitting on the ground and left this place of failure together.
Although Baimeng Valley was burned, the surrounding poisonous miasma and traps are still there, and there are people from Baimeng Valley outside, and they are likely to be ambushed on the road.
Xu Buling walked in front with a knife, returned along the same route, paying attention to the movements around him along the way.
Since Chen Sining learned about Xu Buling's identity, she had not spoken to Xu Buling. Seeing that Zhongli's disciple was with Aunt Gui, she had the opportunity to be alone, so she quickly came behind Xu Buling:
"Mr. Xu."
Xu Buling walked slowly with a knife, but did not look back:
"You have to do something, and it's not convenient to disclose your identity. Princess, don't blame me."
Chen Sining naturally had no intention of blaming Xu Buling, nor was she qualified. She walked up to her, shoulder to shoulder, and thanked her:
"Hundred Insect Valley is a major concern for the people of our dynasty. After checking for so many years, there was no result. Instead, the prince's prince came all the way to help pacify the destruction. This may be related to the incompetence of the government, but the prince's martial arts and kindness are really admirable. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, I would never believe it."
Xu Buling chuckled: "Dayue and Nanyue are brotherly countries, and it is reasonable to help each other. Your Highness does not need to thank me."
When Chen Sining heard this, her beautiful eyes moved slightly. She ran over alone, besides praising Xu Buling's courage and martial arts, she mainly asked Xu Buling's "meaning to come".
A few days ago, the Xiliang army, who was fighting in Chu, suddenly headed south to Liuzhou, and soon the troops would come to the city. The Nanyue courts all quarreled about this. They did not dare to show hostility on their own initiative, nor did they dare to relax their vigilance, and they could not understand the meaning of the Dayue Dynasty.
King Su is the regent of Dayue, and Xu Buling is also very famous in military achievements and has a high prestige. It can be said that he is already the young master of Dayue. He called Nanyue a "brother country", which is obviously a good sign.
Chen Sining thought for a while and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu brought the Xiliang army to Nanyue to save the five relatives and friends, right? If this is the case, the army in Chu will be useless."
Xu Buling's eyes were dull: "It's enough to save Aunt Gui and the others, so why bother to mobilize people to bring the army here?"
?
Chen Sining's smile froze slightly, glanced at Xu Buling, and said in confusion:
"Then Mr. Xu, why are you going south with the army? You can't be attacking us in Nanyue."
"How is that possible."
Xu Buling curled the corners of his mouth and smiled.
Chen Sining breathed a sigh of relief, but unfortunately, before he could have time to be happy, Xu Buling said:
"Duke Zhou Qin of Anguo colluded with the second prince Chen Ju to murder the monarch Chen Jin, causing trouble to the court and the country, causing the people of Nanyue to suffer wars and make the people live in vain. My Dayue and Nanyue are brotherly countries, and envoys went to Chang'an to meet the emperor every year. How could they ignore the news? So I sent me with my troops to help the Chen family of Nanyue to clear the king's side, so as to avoid the rioters and traitors usurping the throne and disrupting the orthodox."
Xu Buling said that Feng Qingyun was calm, but Chen Sining's face turned pale, with a little anger in her eyes.
Chen Sining was the eldest princess of Nanyue after all, not a political idiot. Xu Buling said that he was full of benevolence and righteousness and thought about Nanyue everywhere, but letting Dayue's most powerful Xiliang army enter the country, and even enter the Qing dynasty. When the Xiliang army arrives at the city of Yongzhou, Chen's family still has the position to speak? It is directly equivalent to destroying the country.
Chen Sining gritted her teeth, but she couldn't get angry with Xu Buling, and just frowned:
"Your Highness the Prince is a reasonable person. How can you believe the rumors and ruin the diplomatic relations between the two countries? My father suffered a stroke because he was overly drunk. My second brother has been diligent since his regent. Duke Anguo has worked hard for more than 40 years as an official. He has been working hard and made great contributions. He has been planning to kill the monarch and causing trouble to the government and the country is purely nonsense. Recently, he has been arrested and complained about the people. It is also because the prince is fighting in the Central Plains and has had no choice but to protect himself. Baishou Valley is right to attack His Royal Highness, but Baishou Valley has been destroyed, and there is no evidence to prove that Baishou Valley is related to Duke Anguo; if you know the clues about Baishou Valley, I found out for His Royal Highness, how can the prince take his anger on our court?"
What Chen Sining said was reasonable, but Xu Buling didn't want to make sense from the beginning. The truth was told to people and could not be applied to the country. He just needed a legitimate reason to send troops.
Xu Buling sighed and turned his head to look at Chen Sining:
"You told me that this is useless. I know that Zhou Qin was Shangguan Qinhe, and the Nanyue court was full of holes. The entire Chen family had no right to speak. No matter how you defended it, it would not change the facts."
Chen Sining looked anxious: "Even if this is true, this is my Baiyue internal affairs, and I can solve it myself..."
Xu Buling raised his hand and said, "You can't solve it. Baizeng Valley was burned, and Zhou Qin would inevitably be angry and would forcefully send troops to encircle me. Your second brother and Zhou Qin were wearing a pair of pants and would only help Zhou Qin. Your only solution is to support Chen Ju to get to power, let Zhou Qin achieve his goal, and continue to stumbling to me in the future."
Chen Sining walked in front of Xu Buling and faced him: "My father has only two sons, and his elder brother died. Only Chen Ju can inherit the throne. If you want to get rid of Chen Ju, who will inherit the throne afterwards?"
Xu Buling spread his hands: "I don't care about this, anyway, Chen Ju can't get what he wants. These things are not what you should consider."
"You...you just want to find an excuse to annex Baiyue."
Chen Sining gritted her teeth: "I miss you as a gentleman. You don't want to fight with swords and weapons. Our dynasty has never been disrespectful to the Dayue Dynasty. How could you just make an excuse to launch troops against my dynasty?"
"I'm not an excuse. Your father, your mother, and even your brother who died young may have been the ones behind the scenes. When I destroy him, you will naturally understand."
Chen Sining also had some doubts in her heart, but it was impossible for her to turn her elbow out because of her suspicion of Zhou Qin and lead the Xiliang army into the pass. She looked at Xu Buling for a moment, turned around and left:
"Since the prince insists on this, we can only meet on the battlefield. As long as I, Chen Sining, is still one day, the prince will never attempt to step into a half-step of the hundred-thousandth step."
Xu Buling shook his head, and Chen Sining rushed into the tomb passage to help him stop the stone wall. It can be said that he sacrificed his life to help him. Although they have different forces, Xu Buling does not want to regard Chen Sining as an enemy.
Chen Sining disappeared in the capital, and the Hundred Insect Valley was destroyed. There were so many witnesses present, and the news that Chen Sining was with him could not be concealed.
After Chen Sining returned, Zhou Qin would not kill Chen Sining to take revenge or leave the blame for the past, but would only limit Chen Sining and use it as a bargaining chip for negotiation with him. Because Chen Sining had worked with him and had friendship, this was the only thing Zhou Qin and others could use.
Xu Buling disliked being controlled by others, because if Chen Sining was really used as a bargaining chip by Zhou Qin, he would not ignore it according to his style of conduct.
