The fourth prince was already preparing to break up with the Ding family, but Ding Nie, who had just received the news, had a terrifyingly gloomy expression on the Ding family's side.
A fine glazed black tea cup was held tightly in his hand, making a series of crunching sounds.
In the end, with his increasing anger and intensity, there was just a click, and the tea cup was crushed to pieces, and pieces were scattered everywhere on the ground!
"master!"
The new housekeeper of Ding Mansion on the side suddenly looked at Ding Nie's hand worriedly, and was relieved when he saw that there was no wound.
But then I heard Ding Nie gritting his teeth and saying: "Damn it, let that kid escape again!
Why are these Tatars so useless? He can't even take down a young boy, but he still has the nerve to say that he is the overlord of the grassland.
Is it possible that the death of the captain's people was in vain?
Those few Ding family members in Liaoyun Pass were already the only remaining strength of the Ding family in Liaoyun Pass. Now he had thrown them all away in order to lure the Tatars to attack Liaoyun Pass, and the result was this. "
How could this keep him from being angry?
The housekeeper on the side was a little worried and whispered:
"Lord Taiwei, if those individuals die, they will die. My Ding family has already lost its leadership there. What I am worried about is that colluding with the Tatars will bring disaster to our Ding family. If the imperial court knew about this, then..."
Ding Nie waved his hands with a gloomy face: "Don't worry about this. At worst, I will only give Zhao Duan a few more positions. As long as the military power in my Ding family's hands is still there, what can Zhao Duan do to me?"
If he really had the courage to touch me, wouldn't he have done many outrageous things in recent years? Why don't you see him taking action, haha...
Zhao Duan, if he hadn't been born into the royal family, would he be worthy of sitting in that position? "
Ding Nie's words were full of disdain for Zhao Duan.
When he first took over the Ding family from the old man, Ding Nie was cautious. However, when he found that no matter how arrogant he was, Zhao Duan did not dare to touch him, and at most he would try to compensate him from other aspects, his courage also disappeared. It becomes more and more promising.
Now, privately, he didn't even take Zhao Duan as an emperor at all.
It's so arrogant!
It can be said that Ding Nie is so arrogant now, and Zhao Duan's constant indulgence and concession are the big reasons for his current appearance.
Seeing this, the housekeeper immediately stopped talking. He did not dare to continue talking. He was familiar with his own Taiwei, and he knew his arrogance very well. If he continued to persuade him, he might be in trouble today!
He was silent, but Ding Nie became more and more angry as he thought about it. Finally, he couldn't help but slapped the table and said: "No! I am not willing to give in. And what method did the kid use to make the Tatars retreat?
You ask Ben Khan to contact the Tatars and ask them what is going on?
Why should you just retreat?
Captain Ben has paid so much, and yet they gave him such a result!
Tell them that if they don't give me a satisfactory answer, the material capital given to them by Tatar next year will be halved! "
That's right! This is not the first time that the Ding family has contacted the Tatars. As early as many years ago, the Ding family had already hooked up with the Tatars. With the help of the Liaoyun Pass, the Ding family did not know how to trade with the Tatars. How long did it take, and how much profit was earned.
The reason why the Ding family was able to make a fortune quickly in the beginning was inseparable from their collusion with the prairie barbarians. Now the Ding family has the largest cavalry army on the Xiongnu border - the Tiger Hunting Army, which is also the most elite force in the hands of the Ding family.
But they were all built with war horses obtained from trade with the Tatars!
In order to form this 50,000 tiger hunting army, it is unknown how much intelligence and materials the Ding family provided to the Tatars.
But the only thing that can be known is that this army was completely purchased with the lives of the people of Song Dynasty!
But Ding Nie has no idea that the current Tatar is no longer the Tatar he once knew, and the Tatar doesn't care about his so-called threat at all.
In the fifth prince's house.
The fifth prince Zhao Sheng also got the news he deserved.
Unlike Zhao Ji, the fourth child, the fifth child is not the kind of person who likes to show off. Just like his appearance, the soft appearance inherited from his mother makes him the most beautiful man in the capital.
He was sought after by most ladies from eunuch families and was hailed as the best candidate for a husband.
Similar to his appearance, Zhao Sheng's behavior is also feminine.
He won't confront you like the fourth child just because someone is unhappy with you. He is the kind of character who secretly tries to make things difficult for you.
Although everyone in the court knew that he wanted to compete with the fourth son and the prince for the throne, his presence was extremely low. You might not hear news about him for ten days and a half. It's like suddenly disappearing.
But whenever it comes to the struggle for power, he will immediately appear in front of everyone. Relying on the support of his grandfather Zhang He and the Song Dynasty family, no matter how little he has a sense of presence on weekdays, when he really exerts his strength, he can use No less powerful than anyone else!
Even Zhao Ji, who has the support of the Ding family, is not as strong as him in terms of voice.
At this moment, there is a study room in Zhao Sheng's mansion.
The rest of the people were kicked out, and only Zhao Sheng and the man in black, whose whole body was shrouded in black robes, were in the study.
Zhao Sheng was quietly listening to the man in black tell the news one by one, his brows slightly wrinkled from time to time. This look matched his beautiful face. If he were outside, I don't know how many ladies from aristocratic families would be fascinated.
After the man in black finished reporting, Zhao Sheng relaxed his brows, thought for a moment and said: "So this Tatar attack has failed, and nothing happened to Lao Liu, but What happened and no one knows?"
The man in black nodded: "That's right!"
"You just said that according to the news, today's Yunzhou County is very different from the past. In terms of prosperity, it is no less prosperous than Nanyang City?"
The man in black’s voice was a little hoarse: “Your Highness, that’s exactly what it is.
It was clear that the Yunzhou City before the Sixth Prince still looked desolate and dilapidated, but now it was like a different city. If he hadn't clearly determined where Yunzhou City was, he would have thought that he had arrived in Nanyang or... In a big city like Bianjing.
Even according to the news coming back, compared to the prosperity of Nanyang and other ministers, Yunzhou City can be described as even worse.
correct! "
Having said this, the man in black seemed to have remembered something, and quickly took out a half-length black crossbow arrow from his arms and handed it to Zhao Sheng respectfully.
"Your Highness, these are the arrows shot by the weapon used by the force under the Sixth Prince. This weapon is not only easy to carry, it can be used for long-range attacks, and it can even fire continuously. It can shoot more than ten arrows at a time. And it is extremely powerful.
Even those martial arts masters, if their cultivation level has not reached a certain level, and they encounter this crossbow arrow and do not hide away, they will only end up hating the northwest. "
Zhao Shengshui narrowed his eyes and took the crossbow arrow from the man in black. His arm was very dark, but his skin was as delicate as a woman's. The skin color was also the same as if he had just tanned. There are still several scratches on his hands.
Zhao Sheng noticed it and said: "Thank you for your hard work this time. I just received the 30-year-old mountain ginseng a few days ago. You can take it back to replenish your health when you leave."
The man in black was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward!"
Zhao Sheng waved his hand, returned his attention to the crossbow arrow in his hand, and looked at it carefully...
