375, everything changes
Tuoba Zan slept with Tuoba Liang's concubine?! Chu Ling only felt that her whole body was as comfortable as if she had been struck by thunder. Her eyes looked at Nangong Yuyue a little bit dull. Nangong Yuyue was obviously very happy to see Chu Ling's shocked expression, and she smiled and said gloatingly: "Shengsheng, do you think your junior brother has grown up?"
Chu Ling frowned and said, "How could Azan have a concubine with Tuoba Liang... He has left the palace and built a mansion now, right? Tuoba Liang's concubine is in the harem? He is no longer a prince who cannot easily enter and exit the harem. How did he have a relationship with the concubine in the palace... Well, he has a relationship?" Nangong Yuyue was questioned and didn't care. He was in a good mood now, "What's the matter with Tuoba Xingye... Hum? The harem is dirty?" As a top master, what is a mere palace wall? Although Tuoba Zan is a waste, he still has some skills after being taught by Tuoba Xingye for a few years.
Chu Ling took a sip of tea and said, "Don't the national master plan to make a fool of me?" Nangong Yuyue tskated and said, "Tell you what are the benefits of me?"
"What benefits do you want?" Chu Ling stared at him and asked, but his sharp eyes seemed to warn him not to be tempted. Nangong Yuyue was very easy to talk to this time, and said, "It's okay to tell Shengsheng, it's okay, as long as... Shengsheng beat her." He raised his chin and pointed at Wan Yin who was standing outside the pavilion. Nangong Yuyue said. Chu Ling looked back at the outside of the pavilion and frowned slightly, "She is not my opponent."
With her current eyesight, she can naturally see the depth of Wan Yin. Three years ago, Wan Yin was still a girl in the boudoir without any power. Judging from this standard, Wan Yin's progress in the past three years can be considered very outstanding. But it is far from enough for Chu Ling. Not to mention now, even when she first came, Wan Yin might not be her opponent.
Nangong Yuyue said indifferently: "As long as Shengsheng beats her, it's enough. The weaker she is, the happier Shengsheng should be?"
Chu Ling was speechless, indeed, but it was a bit unfair. But now she was asking for help, and Nangong Yuyue’s request was not too much, so Chu Ling naturally would not bargain. He nodded and said, “Okay, one word is certain.”
Nangong Yuyue nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "Wan Yin, Wu'an County mainly guides you in martial arts, don't let me down."
Wan Yin turned around and bowed respectfully, "Yes, please, Princess."
Chu Ling looked at Wan Yin in front of her and couldn't help but feel sorry for her. It was really a beauty that misleads people regardless of gender. I remember that Yang Wanyin was also a proud noble girl from a noble family. Although her family background was not top-notch, she was also a first-class person among the noble girls in Pingjing. Now she abandoned her family and followed Nangong Yuyue for three years and became a maid. Nangong Yuyue called her Princess Wu'an, and Wanyin also called her Princess Wu'an. It can be seen that the White Tower taught the maids really well.
Since he wanted to "instruct martial arts" and of course he could not stay in the pavilion, Chu Ling got up and left the pavilion, and Nangong Yuyue walked out slowly. Of course, he knew that Wan Yin was definitely not Chu Ling's opponent, but he didn't care at all, as if he was just watching the fun.
Li Dan and Xiao Feng were naturally unhappy that the Northern Jin sect had the princess compete with a small maid. Even though this maid was once a noble lady of Tianqi, she is now just an unknown maid. But since the princess agreed, they naturally had nothing to say. Wan Yin had actually fought with many people in the past few years, and not only had she fought, but she really killed many people. After all, Nangong Yuyue had no gentle means to her, and if she was not cruel, she would really die. But when facing Chu Ling, Wan Yin couldn't help but feel nervous. First, Princess Wu'an's reputation in Shangjing and Baita was too high, and Wan Yin knew in her heart that she had almost no chance to win her. Second, she didn't want to lose to Chu Ling in front of Nangong Yuyue.
Chu Ling naturally didn't know what Wan Yin was thinking. Seeing Wan Yin bowing to him with a sword, she nodded lightly. Wan Yin frowned slightly and said, "Don't the princess use weapons?"
Chu Ling said, "You can make a move." If she draws out the Liuyue Sword, it would be embarrassing that Wan Yin cannot be solved within three moves.
Wan Yin gritted her teeth, and without saying anything, she raised her sword and stabbed towards Chu Ling. Chu Ling did not dodge, but just slapped the sword slightly and stabbed her in front of her. Wan Yin saw that the sword fell into nothing, and quickly turned around and wanted to make up for another sword, but saw Chu Ling's figure flashing, her shoulder was slapped, and her whole arm was shocked and almost left her hand. Wan Yin endured the pain and grabbed the sword in her hand without letting go. Chu Ling looked at her in surprise, but saw that Wan Yin had stabbed another sword. Chu Ling counted the slender figure under her feet and jumped up to avoid Wan Yin's sword.
In the eyes of Xiao Feng and others, this battle was really not obvious. Wan Yin's skill was quite neat, but he was not much better than Chu Ling than a child who had not grown up. Chu Ling gave Nangong Yuyue face and gave Wan Yin a few moves. But even so, after more than ten moves, the sword in Wan Yin's hand still changed its length and fell into Chu Ling's hand, but the sword edge fell on Wan Yin's neck. Chu Ling said lightly: "Seeking the way."
Wan Yin looked at Nangong Yuyue who seemed to be unrelated to him, and then looked at Chu Ling, who was calm and gentle in front of him, and felt a strong sense of frustration hit her. No wonder the young master always looked at her with dissatisfaction. It turned out that her three years of hard work was nothing to Princess Shenyou. Even though she rarely competed with a real master, Wan Yin knew that her competition with Princess Shenyou was really ugly. She gritted her teeth, and a dagger fell from Wan Yin's sleeve. She stabbed Chu Ling without hesitation.
No one on the sidelines exclaimed, as if he didn't take Wan Yin's sneak attack seriously. Chu Ling looked at the dagger that was stabbing towards him, sighed and raised his hand to catch Dai Xueliang's blade. With a light flash, the dagger flew out of Wan Yin's hand, just rubbed Nangong Yuyue's cheek and flew over and nailed it to the pillar of the pavilion behind him.
"Young Master?!" Wan Yin was startled, and she didn't even care that Chu Ling was still holding her neck and fell to the ground, "Please punish her."
"Bad!" Nangong Yuyue snorted coldly, lowered her eyes and looked at Wan Yin on the ground. Wan Yin trembled slightly, lowered her head and didn't dare to speak anymore. Nangong Yuyue waved her hand a little annoyed and said, "I'm embarrassed enough, please step back." Wan Yin didn't dare to say much, and quickly got up and retreated. Looking at Wan Yin's staggering back, Chu Ling turned his head to look at Nangong Yuyue. Nangong Yuyue said with a smile: "Shengsheng shouldn't be pitiful to her again, right?" Sheng Sheng was soft-hearted to everyone, but he was cruel to him.
Chu Ling shook her head and said, "I just want to tell you not to slander women too casually, otherwise... there will be retribution." Wan Yin didn't realize that she was really cruel. No wonder she dared to run away with Nangong Yuyue regardless of the matter. If Nangong Yuyue was careless, she might really fall into the hands of the woman one day.
"Ha?" Nangong Yuyue laughed briefly, but her expression on her face was dissatisfied. Obviously, she didn't take Chu Ling's words to heart.
After getting the news he wanted from Nangong Yuyue, Chu Ling was too lazy to spend time with him and said goodbye and left. Nangong Yuyue didn't know which nerve was wrong, and she seemed to be in a very good mood today. She didn't make any trouble and let them go happily. On the way back, Chu Ling was worried all the way. The news he got from Nangong Yuyue was really a little shocked to Chu Ling.
Tuoba Zan was different from when she was in the capital. Chu Ling knew that she felt the time when she attacked the emperor. But Chu Ling did not expect that the emperor of the Northern Jin actually had such high hopes for Tuoba Zan, and did not know whether he was loving this son or harming him. The emperor of the Northern Jin had a hidden force under his command during his lifetime. Even Tuoba Xingye only knew a piece of claws and had basically never contacted him. However, the emperor of the Northern Jin handed over this force to Tuoba Zan during his lifetime and asked Jiankun to teach Tuoba Zan martial arts. Therefore, Tuoba Zan was not only Tuoba Xingye's apprentice, but Jiankun also had a share. After the death of the Emperor, this force belonged to Tuoba Zan, because no one knew about this before. If Tuoba Zan had not been able to control himself in the past six months, maybe Tuoba Liang could have been concealed forever.
Chu Ling recalled the situation when he saw Tuoba Zan when he assassinated the Northern Jin Emperor, and wondered if Tuoba Zan had made a contribution to this strength. The Northern Jin Emperor must have not expected that he would die so soon, so he might just want to reuse Tuoba Zan. After all, compared to those princes with huge in-laws behind him, Tuoba Zan, who had a simple life experience and was a disciple of Tuoba Xingye, was obviously a good candidate. Who knew that the Northern Jin Emperor was suddenly killed by her, and Jiankun never returned because of her pursuit. The mysterious force that only the Northern Jin Emperor himself and his confidant knew naturally fell into Tuoba Zan's hands. However, Tuoba Zan could really control it at a young age, and he had underestimated him before.
"Young Master is thinking about what Master Nangong said?" Li Dan asked.
Chu Ling came back to his senses and nodded, "Nangong Yuyue has helped us a lot this time." If Nangong Yuyue had not sent the news on his own initiative, they might have to investigate a lot of time. Although Nangong Yuyue definitely did not give away the news for nothing for nothing, it was really useful to them. Xiao Yan'er hummed softly and said, "I think he must be uneasy. Sister Ah Ling, it's better to be careful."
Yun Xingyue deeply agreed with this. At that time, they just wanted to go to the palace to find medicine, but Nangong Yuyue dared to ask Miss Ling to assassinate the Northern Jin Emperor. To be honest, Yun Xingyue still doesn't believe that Nangong Yuyue really likes Chu Ling. After all, as long as she is a normal person, even if she has a little bit of affection for a girl, she can't make such a crazy request. In the past month when Miss Ling was chased by Jiankun, Yun Xingyue felt frightened even if she heard about it.
Chu Ling was also helpless, "Soldiers come to block, and water comes to cover the soil." In Shangjing, they could not avoid Nangong Yuyue no matter what. "I'll go to see Tuoba Yin and Tuoba Luo first." Yun Xingyue asked, "Is it because of what Nangong Yuyue said just now?" Chu Ling nodded and frowned and said, "Tuoba Yin didn't tell me about Azan's affairs before." Yun Xingyue hesitated and said, "Miss Ling, people's hearts are changing. The seventeenth prince of the Northern Jin Dynasty, you may not have much deeper friendship with him, so it's better to be careful."
Chu Ling looked at Yun Xingyue, "Does Mr. Yun know what news?"
Yun Xingyue said: "I just heard that this has changed a lot in the past two years, and... I haven't seen any good relationship with General Tuoba. General Tuoba always feels a bit strange." It is true that Tuoba Xingye is a person who values friendship and friendship, but it is a bit strange to take such a charge for an apprentice who is not close to her or not. To put it bluntly, Tuoba Xingye has only two apprentices, Chu Ling and Tuoba Zan. If he has more apprentices, will he have to take the blame for each apprentice if something happens to an apprentice? And the generals under his command may not have a worse friendship than their apprentice after years of birth and death? If something happens, will Tuoba Xingye also come forward to help with the crime? This is simply too strange.
Chu Ling also found it very strange, but she still believed the news about Nangong Yuyue. After hearing Yun Xingyue's words, she nodded and said, "I understand, I will be careful."
Tuoba Luojue didn't expect that he would see Chu Ling again so soon. He said that he actually didn't want to see this Princess Apocalypse. However, this time Chu Ling did not come to the door to ask for a meeting, but came in from the dark night, climbing over the walls. He did not alarm the guards of the prince's mansion at all, which shows that the strength of this princess is really amazing.
Tuoba Luo was slightly stunned when he saw Chu Ling appearing in the study room, and then put down the book in his hand and said, "What's the matter with the princess coming late at night?"
Chu Ling smiled and said, "I didn't bother the prince." Tuoba Luo looked at Chu Ling at the door calmly and said, "Is the princess a polite person to me?" Chu Ling shrugged helplessly, "I'm a little sad to disturb me late at night. Please forgive me." Tuoba Luo signaled her to sit down and talk, and Chu Ling walked into the study and chose a convenient position to sit down. He looked at Tuoba Luo and said, "Yesterday... did the prince forget to tell me something?"
Tuoba Luo raised his eyebrows, "I don't know what the princess is talking about."
"Azan." Chu Ling reminded. Tuoba Luo's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He stared at Chu Ling and said, "Although the princess has been away from the Northern Jin Dynasty for many years, the news is still very well-informed. This news... was told by Master Nangong, right?" Chu Ling smiled and said, "I don't know where Azan is now." Chu Ling frowned slightly, "What do you mean Azan escaped?" Nangong Yuyue said that Azan was captured by Tuoba Liang. Tuoba Luo shook his head and said, "I don't know, on the first day of General Tuoba was imprisoned, Azan suddenly disappeared. It seems that the princess knew anything that we don't know? Do you know Azan's whereabouts?"
Chu Ling lowered her eyes and said, "I heard that Azan has changed a lot in recent years."
Tuoba Luo smiled and said, "Who will remain unchanged? Azan is no longer a child." Chu Ling disagreed, "Oh? If His Highness Shen disappeared, would the prince be as calm as he is now?" Tuoba Luo's expression changed slightly, and his eyes shot sharply at Chu Ling. Chu Ling immediately realized his heart. It seemed that... he became not only a human being, but the relationship between Tuoba Luo and Tuoba Yin and Tuoba Zan also changed. Maybe Tuoba Luo and Tuoba Yin did not expect to tell her about this matter yesterday, but did not want to mention it at all. But Chu Ling was still a little confused. They naturally have been paying attention to the news of going to Beijing in recent years. So Tuoba Zan should not have done anything big, otherwise they would not have been able to pay attention to it.
Chu Ling rubbed his eyebrows with some headache and asked, "Your Majesty really doesn't know how Azan is?"
Tuoba Luo said: "I don't know, Azan has not had much contact with us in the past two years. Lao Si and I don't know what he is doing. I don't know... there is such a huge force hidden in his hands."
"So, what did he do?" Chu Ling said. Tuoba Luo seemed a little sad, and he said after a long time: "General Tuoba Liang has almost been defeated by Tuoba Liang in the past two years. Except for those who are loyal to the general, most of them have been incorporated by Tuoba Liang. However... some of them have been accepted by Azan. In addition, Azan also accepted several concubines, all of whom are not weak in their parents' family. If he hadn't been too anxious to gather his power before, I'm afraid no one has noticed it now." Chu Ling said: "I remember... Azan hasn't gotten married yet?"
Tuoba Luo smiled and said, "What does it have to do with whether to get married or not? In short, Azan no longer needs the support of me and the fourth brother, so the princess comes to ask me about him, and I have nothing to tell you." Chu Ling said, "Will Tuoba Liang actually allow him to grow to such a level?" Tuoba Luo said, "He surrendered to Tuoba Liang, at least before he disappeared. If the princess thinks that General Tuoba's affairs are related to him, I'm afraid he can only investigate it himself. But... I'm frank, General Tuoba has not had a good relationship with him in the past two years."
Chu Ling felt her head hurt even more. Seeing her appearance, Tuoba Luo was a little happy, "The princess came late at night, just for this?"
Chu Ling glanced at him helplessly, otherwise what else could it be for? Tuoba Luo said: "I have a news in my hand, and the princess may be interested. But... what is the princess to exchange for?" Chu Ling said: "The prince hasn't said what news it is, how do I know if I am interested?" Tuoba Luo said: "About... the person in the palace and General Tuoba...."
Chu Ling shook her head and expressed her disinterest. The matter of the little princess outside the palace in the palace had been investigated completely by Boss Huang. She didn't think Tuoba Luo could have any useful news to her. Tuoba Luo didn't care, and smiled faintly: "That... Yuepin, he is an old acquaintance with Azan."
Chu Ling was stunned, Tuoba Luo smiled and said, "The princess shouldn't know about this news."
"How is that possible?" Chu Ling frowned and said, "Didn't Yuepin grow up outside the Great Wall? How could he be with Azan..." Tuoba Luo said, "The prince of our clan is not like Tianqi, who either lives in the capital or cannot leave easily in the fiefdom. Although Azan is not favored, he is a prince after all. In his early years, he would go back to his ancestral land to worship his ancestors every year." Chu Ling stared at Tuoba Luo without saying anything, Tuoba Luo said, "Moon Prince is a few years older than Azan, but... this woman is not a calm woman."
Chu Ling's face changed slightly. She was not a child, of course she knew what Tuoba Luo was hinting. If this was true, the news that Nangong Yuyue said was correct. But the question now is, where is Tuoba Zan and what role does he play in this matter.
Tuoba Luo didn't give her time to think and said, "You heard the news, Princess, it's time to listen to my conditions now?"
"..." This is a forced buying and selling.
Tuoba Luo smiled and said, "My conditions are not harsh and I will not make things difficult for the princess."
Chu Ling looked at him for a while before saying, "Prince, please tell me."
Tuoba Luo said, "I know where the fourth brother took you to yesterday." Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Tuoba Luo without saying anything. Tuoba Luo said, "That... Princess Lingxi has a great influence on the fourth brother."
"So?" Chu Ling asked.
Tuoba Luo said: "I hope the princess can help me and take that princess away."
Chu Ling was silent for a while before saying, "Are you not afraid of King Chen being sad when you do this?" Tuoba Luo said, "Isn't he sad enough for these years? Keep her... the fourth brother will never come out." No matter who it is, a corpse hidden in the yard where he lives, he will never come out. Tuoba Luo feels that he has indulged this younger brother enough, but he is really tired over the years. Tuoba Luo even regrets that he didn't pay much attention to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Chu Fuyi's death destroyed his younger brother.
Tuoba Yin seemed to have no problem over the years, but Tuoba Luo knew that he didn't care about anything at all. If his brother hadn't been trapped in the vortex of Shangjing, he might have gone far away and even cut off himself. How could a person without fighting spirit and ambition win those who are determined and ambitious?
Chu Ling said: "This requirement... I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve."
Chu Ling did not want to take Chu Fuyi's body, but it would be impossible to take it away if Tuoba Yin did not cooperate. Now this season will be hotter and hotter in the future. After the ice coffin left the secret room, it would be impossible to support it until it returned to the Apocalypse. Even if it returned to the Apocalypse... The cold winter in Jiangnan was limited, and the ice used by the powerful royal family was bought from the north. At this time, even if it was taken back, it would be difficult to preserve it as well as Tuoba Yin. Chu Ling didn't feel that What is it good to let Chu Fuyi's body go back and forth now? She hopes that one day she can pick her up from that secret room and send her into the imperial tomb for peace. However, Chu Ling on her face certainly would not tell Tuoba Luo such a reason. She said lightly: "Your Majesty is to make me an enemy with Your Highness Chen. The prince has a good plan. He will not only get rid of the great troubles, but also don't have to worry about the rift between you brothers. Is the consequences all the consequences?"
Tuoba Luo said: "Don't the princess want to welcome Princess Lingxi's body back?"
Chu Ling said: "If the prince can persuade His Highness Chen to willingly hand over the body and let me escort the Tianqi back, it will be fine. But if the prince wants me to find a way to steal it or rob it, it will be impossible. If the prince chases Chen and refuses to let go, what accident will happen on the road? How will the prince plan to cure the aftermath?"
Tuoba Luo frowned and stared at Chu Ling, obviously not expecting that this Princess Shenyou was so difficult to deal with.
"Big Brother."
Tuoba Luo was about to speak when Tuoba Yin's voice sounded outside the door. Tuoba Luo was stunned and looked at Chu Ling. Chu Ling smiled at him with a good temper. It was obvious that she had known that Tuoba Yin was outside. Tuoba Yin pushed open the door and looked at Tuoba Luo and said, "Big Brother." This big brother was obviously different from the sound just now, and it seemed to contain a little anger.
Tuoba Yin looked at Chu Ling and said, "If the princess is fine..."
Chu Ling immediately followed the good deeds and smiled, "I'll disturb the prince tonight. Since the matter has been finished, I will leave first. As for the prince's proposal just now... If Your Highness Chen has no objection, I, Tianqi, will naturally be very happy to welcome Princess Lingxi back." After that, without looking at Tuoba Luo's face, Chu Ling turned around and went out with a smile. Do you want to bring Chu Fuyi's body back to Tianqi? Chu Ling never thought about it. Tuoba Yin said something right, Pingjing is not It was Chu Fuyi's home, and Chu Fuyi never set foot in Pingjing during her lifetime. What's more, now I'm taking Chu Fuyi back, can she get a trace of respect from the old scholars and sour scholars? They won't feel that Princess Lingxi suffered so much suffering because of the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family. They will only feel that she was committed to the people of the Clan and losing the face of the Clan is a shame for the royal family. Just like their attitude towards all the women who were abandoned in the north at the time.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to let her stay quietly at the underground of Prince Shen’s Mansion. At least Tuoba Yin really has feelings for her and respects her.
As for Tuoba Luo... Chu Ling sighed. He was right. After these years, everyone has changed. The former eldest prince of Northern Jin was naturally no exception. Although he might be for the sake of his younger brother, Tuoba Yin may not be able to accept his invitation.
"Shengsheng." A slender figure walked from a distance and called softly.
Chu Ling looked up and saw the familiar face under the moonlight. Chu Ling was slightly stunned and said for a while: "Sister Helan." The person who came was Tuoba Luo's princess, Helan Zhen. Helan Zhen looked much calmer than he looked three years ago. It seemed that after staying in a place like Shangjing for a long time, the proud wildness of the princess who was stuck outside gradually disappeared. He looked like a truly dignified and generous princess of the Northern Jin Dynasty.
Helan Zhen smiled sweetly and said, "It's you. The prince said you have been here before, but I don't believe it."
Chu Ling said: "It seems that you couple have a good relationship." Even such things were told to Helanzhen. Obviously, the relationship between the couple is very good. Helanzhen walked to Chu Ling and looked at her carefully for a while before saying: "It's not bad. After all, we have been a couple for several years." Tuoba Luo broke his legs shortly after Helanzhen married Tuoba Luo, and his status has plummeted. However, Helanzhen was able to stay with Tuoba Luo. As a step concubine, Helanzhen was really good enough. Tuoba Luo would naturally be moved as long as he was not a tidy heart. What's more, their relationship was not bad from the beginning.
Chu Ling smiled and said, "I feel relieved to see that Sister Helan is doing well."
Helan Zhen smiled and said, "I'm nothing, but you... I haven't heard your stories a lot in recent years. Princess God Bless?"
Chu Ling was a little helpless, "I laughed."
Helan Zhen shook his head and said, "No, although... now I don't know whether you, the prince and the fourth brother, are friends or enemies, but... I still admire you very much. It is said that the Apocalypse women are incompetent, but now I know that the Apocalypse women are not inferior to the Apocalypse women at all. Just Shengsheng, you can be worth hundreds of Apocalypse noble ladies." Chu Ling couldn't help but smile, and looked at Helan with a complicated look, "Don't you blame me?"
Helan looked at her strangely and said, "What's wrong with you? Do you hide your identity? You're so weird if you tell me this identity, right?" Even General Tuoba, the master, didn't know. If he told her, Helan would really doubt whether Chu Ling had a brain problem or wanted to die. Chu Ling looked at Helan for a while and didn't know what to say. Helan smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you so moved that you can't speak?"
Chu Ling smiled helplessly and said, "Yes, I'm very moved."
Helanzhen said: "It's good that you're moved. It's my birthday in a while. Remember to prepare a generous gift."
Chu Ling laughed and nodded solemnly: "Okay, I will definitely prepare a generous gift to congratulate you, and by the way, I will make up for the past few years."
"This is almost the same." Helan smiled with satisfaction.
Chapter completed!
