The reborn abandoned woman reigns

Chapter 160
Shao Yao thinks that He Nuo is not awake yet, and insists on holding him down, not allowing him to go anywhere.But Lei Qing'er could tell from He Nuo's eyes that this guy was sober now and knew what he wanted, so he persuaded Shao Yao to ask his eldest grandson Jingrong for instructions.

And grandson Jingrong seemed to have expected that He Nuo would come to find him, so he wasn't surprised, so he just let Lei Qing'er bring He Nuo in directly.

Hurriedly walking into the room, He Nuo looked at his eldest grandson Jingrong excitedly, and said, "Miss, all of our catapults have been modified and installed!"

Changsun Jingrong sketched something on the paper with a pen, and said without raising his head: "I already know this."

"Not only that, we have also developed a more powerful crossbow machine, not to mention Xu Zizheng's mere 15 troops, even if there are more than [-] to [-], we can easily break through its defenses !"

Seeing He Nuo's confident look, the eldest grandson Jingrong propped his chin with one hand, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It seems that this time, your name, He Nuo, is really going to be famous. But, you only have a strong crossbow If the enemy is coming in from all directions, or from other gates, what are you going to do? Are you going to move the gantry machine away?"

"Miss, don't worry, we've already started researching the second and third crossbow machines. It won't be long before all construction is completed. By then, we will be invincible divisions! We don't have to worry about insults from foreign enemies anymore!"

It turns out that this kid is busy with these things these days.

Nodding his head, Changsun Jingrong said: "Well, I'm quite thoughtful. With you here, I feel relieved. If you encounter any troubles in execution, you can come to me and I can help you. Definitely will spare no effort.”

"Hey, Miss, actually, I really have something to ask for your help."

The corner of his mouth couldn't help but slightly curled up, Changsun Jingrong said with a smile: "You have really learned what it means to follow the trend. Tell me, what do you need my help for?"

Rubbing his palms together, He Nuo said, "That's right, I think that to win on the battlefield, you need quick reflexes and flexible and effective offensive methods. A small poison technique can satisfy both of these requirements at the same time." Request. So I want to smear some poisonous powder on the weapons of officers and soldiers. Not only can it greatly increase the lethality, but it can also shorten the time of the war and reduce the number of casualties on our side. Originally, this is a very good suggestion, but the people in the barracks objected Too many, saying that doing so is against morality, and if people know about it, they will be ridiculed. I wonder, wars and wars are just to see who wins the battle in the end. When did it have anything to do with morality? If it only depends on morality , then Xu Zizheng shouldn't be a traitor at all! It's really inexplicable!!"

After hearing He Nuo's words, Changsun Jingrong looked down at the things on the table, and said: "What they mentioned also has some truth, after all, if the Longrui royal family represented by the lord, if they openly use poison, they will indeed be stabbed in the back. In this way, we win on the battlefield, but in the end we lose the hearts of the people, which is really not worth the candle.”

"Hey, we won with clever tactics, how could we lose the hearts of the people?" He Nuo felt that he didn't understand, so he argued for himself, "Those guys are always timid in doing things, and they look down on poison techniques. Wait until they really experience poison techniques." After seeing your power, I definitely wouldn’t say that! What a joke, as long as you can win, who cares what method you use? It’s so pedantic, it’s suicidal! I don’t want to give up a good opportunity, I always feel that this is a good opportunity It's a good way to win, but no one can understand me, so I want to come to you and ask."

"Then, have you looked for the prince? What is the prince's attitude?"

Helplessly curling the corners of his lips, He Nuo said: "My lord won't go into this muddy water. Seeing that there are many people objecting, he said that he should think about it again. But everyone knows that this kind of consideration will definitely come to naught. Yes! Miss, this suggestion was made by me, and I have already made a plan in my heart. As for the poisonous powder, it only makes people weak and will not hurt people's lives. Everyone is a citizen of Longrui, but Forced to stand in opposing camps, there is no need for us to drive out the enemy troops. If we can capture them alive and persuade them to use them for ourselves, wouldn’t it be just right? Besides, they are familiar with the mountainous situation where Xu Zizheng is, and they may be able to assist us as soon as possible , to capture Xu Zizheng!"

This proposal was good, and Changsun Jingrong was moved. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Have you ever mentioned this proposal to the lord?"

"It's not in a hurry yet," He Nuo said with his shoulders slumped in frustration, "because as soon as I said the poison powder thing, it was boycotted by everyone. I will be besieged by everyone, so how can I dare to say more? And after that, I have no chance to get along with the prince alone, so this matter is delayed like this. Seeing that a good plan has run aground like this, I feel very sad Anxious, I also thought about rushing to the prince's study and explaining as much as possible. But when the prince gets angry, it is also very scary. I have been punished inhumanely because I made a mistake in one of the data of the crossbow machine. , if you act rashly and annoy the prince, then the loss outweighs the gain."

Feeling that he had talked too much, He Nuo hurriedly looked at his eldest grandson Jingrong apologetically, and said, "Oh, look at me, I'm too busy talking about my own affairs. Of course, we laymen can't compare with your seniors. But I think, my lord will definitely listen to your arrangement, instead of trying my best to please my lord, why don't I ask the young lady to come forward, won't I be able to convince my lord?"

The more He Nuo thought about it, the more he felt that he was smart, and he looked excitedly at his grandson Jingrong, feeling that life was full of hope.

But compared to He Nuo's joy, Changsun Jingrong was much calmer, she looked at He Nuo indifferently, and asked: "This time you came back, this is what you want to talk about."

Nodding his head hastily, He Nuo said, "It's mainly for this matter."

"Then are you sure you can handle things quickly and neatly?"

Patting himself on the chest, He Nuo said again: "That's for sure! Miss should know my poison art, and I don't do things that are not sure, I have confidence in myself!"

Standing up slowly, Changsun Jingrong looked at the clear sky outside the window, and said: "If you want to convince people, you have to make some achievements. Relying on other people's guarantees alone is not convincing. Those guys, aren't they? Do you feel that doing so will harm your reputation? Then you can use the effect to speak, which is simple and effective, and it will be more effective than any rhetoric persuasion."

"Miss, what do you mean, cut first and play later?" Scratching the back of his head, He Nuo said, "But in front of the prince, I really don't have the guts."

Seeing that He Nuo was so afraid of Sima Xukong, Changsun Jingrong couldn't help feeling curious. She stared at He Nuo and asked, "I've known Sima Xukong for so long, but I haven't seen him get angry. Is it scary?"

He Nuo quickly widened his eyes, eyes filled with fear, and said: "Miss, I guarantee that after you have seen it once, you will never want to see it again! The prince lost his temper, although he didn't yell, but the look in his eyes , It definitely makes people feel chills from the inside out! Oh, I still feel scared when I think about it now."

Seeing He Nuo's timid look, Changsun Jingrong couldn't help but smile, thinking that Sima Xukong still had such a side, and he was quite curious.Turning around, Changsun Jingrong sat down at the table again, and said: "Before you take action, of course you can't act rashly, but you can declare life and death to the prince. If the effect is not achieved, let him deal with it."

He Nuo was stunned by what the grandson Jingrong said, then he rubbed his palms and murmured: "Life and death...why does it sound so creepy."

"Why, you don't have confidence in yourself?"

"Of course not!" He Nuo quickly straightened his back, and said with certainty, "I have great confidence in myself, and I believe that my poison technique will definitely have a surprising effect!"

Looking at He Nuo with a smile on his face, Changsun Jingrong said: "Then you can use your own ability to convince the prince."

Seeing that the eldest grandson Jingrong didn't mention the matter of pleading for him at all, He Nuo couldn't help but lowered his head a little sheepishly, and muttered in a low voice: "At first I wanted the lady to help me speak well of the store, but it seems that I still have to rely on myself."

Although the voice was low, the eldest grandson Jingrong heard it. She raised her head and said, "Everything in the military camp is based on your own ability. You think you prove yourself with actions, and I vouch for the prince with empty words." , which one is more convincing?" "Your Highness didn't directly reject it, it means that you are very impressed with your suggestion, so you have to make some results for everyone to see, so that others can't speak, isn't that all right?" Waiting for your action, you happen to take this opportunity to make a contribution, which is a good thing for yourself."

He Nuo seemed to be greatly encouraged after hearing the words of the grandson Jingrong, nodded and said: "Miss, don't worry, I will definitely work hard and not let you and the prince down!"

"Do it well. Don't let those rumors spare your mind. If you decide on something, you should actively fight for it. There will never be a weak person around my eldest grandson Jingrong." Stretching out his arms, his eldest grandson Jingrong said, "OK Now, hurry up and go to Lei Qinger, you will be going back to the barracks before dawn, and you don't know when you will be back, so don't waste your time here."

"Yes, thank you Miss Chengquan."

"Okay, let's go."

After receiving the order from his grandson Jingrong, He Nuo let go of the burden in his heart and went to the door excitedly.The eldest grandson Jingrong looked at his back and shook his head helplessly.

In fact, even if He Nuo didn't mention it, Changsun Jingrong would still mention He Nuo to Sima Xukong.She already valued He Nuo's poison technique and its efficacy on the battlefield, but what she didn't expect was that those old antiques would oppose the execution of poison technique.Those guys, who are not playing with real swords and guns now, naturally they can say whatever they want, and they have to show their noble character when they have the opportunity.But when the two armies actually go to war, it really depends on who is ruthless and who is the overlord on the battlefield.At that time, let those ministers rely on their red lips and white teeth to say that they have defeated the enemy!

The eldest grandson Jingrong pondered for a long time, but he didn't realize that someone was approaching behind him.When she realized it, she was already lying in a warm embrace. The familiar temperature made her feel at ease, and she wanted to shrink in it for no reason, ignoring what would happen tomorrow.

But in the end, Changsun Jingrong was still not used to being so intimate with people, his body twisted a bit, and he wanted to break free.

"Don't move, just let me hold you like this for a while."

Hearing Sima Xukong's slightly hoarse voice, Changsun Jingrong's heart softened, and she let Sima Xukong half embrace her, enjoying a moment of peace.

After a while, Changsun Jingrong heard Sima Xukong's chest fluttering, and couldn't help asking: "What are you laughing at?"

Gently running his fingers through Changsun Jingrong's long hair, Sima Xukong said softly: "I didn't expect that you are really obedient today. It's really surprising."

"Don't think about it, I'm just lazy and don't want to argue with you. Besides, there is such a soft cushion for me to lean on, and it's warm, why should I refuse?"

Tightening the eldest grandson Jingrong towards him with his arm, Sima Xukong said, "If you like it, I'll let you rely on it for the rest of your life, okay?"

"In the rest of my life, it's rare for you to have such a free time." Changsun Jingrong sneered, then sat up, looked at Sima Xukong and asked, "I said, why are you so idle today? It's not just you, Even Ho Nuo is back, why, have you all gone on vacation together?"

The emptiness in his arms made Sima Xukong a little displeased. He stretched out his hand and tried to pull his eldest grandson Jingrong back, but was slapped off by the other party.In desperation, he had no choice but to say: "If he can take a vacation, of course my prince can also take a vacation, and come back to find you when I have time, isn't it good?"

Poking his chin with his finger, Changsun Jingrong stared sideways at Sima Xukong, looked at his somewhat blue eye sockets and the bloodshot eyes, and said with a smile: "It seems that Xu Zizheng hasn't moved much these days, so you can So relaxing."

"You're wrong," Sima Xukong pursed his lips, and said, "The officers and soldiers on the front line have discovered that they are moving the barracks forward. It seems that they will make some moves in the next few days. I want to start tomorrow." , I will be busy day and night, and I don’t know when the war will end, so let everyone relax for half a day, and then, we will fight with real swords and guns!"

As Sima Xukong said, he still took advantage of the moment when his eldest grandson was in a daze, put his arms around her shoulders, and said with a smile: "Look, I'll come back to you when I have a chance, isn't it very good?"

This deliberately flattering voice reminded Changsun Jingrong of the extremely fierce Sima Xukong that He Nuo said, which made her feel suspicious, wondering which one was the real Sima Xukong, or whether she was still right. Doesn't he know enough?
Realizing that the eldest grandson Jingrong was in a daze, Sima Xukong couldn't help asking in frustration: "Hey, I've been hugging you, why are you still in a daze? What are you thinking?"

If Changsun Jingrong told Sima Xukong that he was thinking about him at the moment, then this guy's tail would definitely be raised again, so he immediately said: "You seem to be looking forward to the confrontation with Xu Zizheng. You have a festival before." ?”

"It's not a holiday, but I hate that man always has weird eyes when he looks at you. And we were super before, and a large part of the reason is because of this man."

When Sima Xukong thought of this, he was still a little bit aggrieved, and it didn't seem to be relieved by the passage of time.

Seeing Sima Xukong's angry look, Changsun Jingrong couldn't help but smile, and said: "You are really stingy, you can't even let others look at me? Then you'd better cover everyone else's eyes, so that you can Will feel at ease."

"It's not like that," Sima Xukong said slowly, playing with his eldest grandson Jingrong's hair with his fingers, "The way someone looks at you can tell you whether the other person is kind or malicious. And Xu Zizheng's gaze, There is always a gloomy air. In the past, I didn't know his identity. I thought this guy was a bit unruly, with a bit of literati's arrogance, and he didn't take others seriously. But now that I think about it, he should have known himself a long time ago. Because of your status, you would disdain to socialize with others. But I don't understand why this guy always looks possessive every time he sees your eyes?"

"Perhaps, it has something to do with him saving me once."

Hearing what Changsun Jingrong said, Sima Xukong couldn't help but looked at her strangely, and asked, "He saved you before?"

Nodding his head, Changsun Jingrong said: "He saved my life when I was not out of the cabinet. At that time, Xu Zizheng was just a scholar who came to Beijing to rush for the exam. I don't see any problems. I I think he should have changed after Xu Shikang discovered his identity after he became an official in the court."

Nodding thoughtfully, Sima Xukong said, "You are right, but how did Xu Shikang discover Xu Zizheng's identity? Did he know it long ago, or did he discover it by accident?"

Looking up at Sima Xukong, Changsun Jingrong asked, "Is there any difference between the two?"

"If it's the former, it proves that Xu Shikang had planned it long ago. He may not have done it to protect Long Rui's dragon veins, but he may also be seeking his own benefit. If it's the latter, it means that Xu Shikang is also a no-brainer, just because he has no clue at all. Without any evidence, I believed in Xu Zizheng's identity, and left my family and career to accompany him, willing to be a sinner in history."

Moving his body, Changsun Jingrong found a more comfortable position in Sima Xukong's arms, and said, "But Xu Shikang is not stupid, he can't dig his own grave, and doing these things will definitely benefit him. Therefore, This can only show that he has already laid out the game, and now it is time for him to close the net."

Smelling the fragrance of Changsun Jingrong's beautiful hair on the tip of his nose, Sima Xukong felt as if he was about to get drunk, and murmured: "Then Xu Zizheng is his chess piece?"

"Not necessarily, let me see. These two people may be using each other to seek mutual benefit. Maybe one day they will part ways because of disagreements." As if suddenly thinking of something, Changsun Jingrong raised his head excitedly. At the beginning, looking at Sima Xukong, he said, "By the way, maybe we can start with the relationship between two people and let them kill each other, so that we can profit from it!"
