Chapter 565: Borrowing a Sword
Luo Ningcha has had the busiest year of her life, and in a sense, she has to thank her former minions.
Huan Nu's change of attitude had a huge impact on her, even more than the forced marriage to her disabled husband and the murder of the big-headed god, this impact was not emotional, because she had never given emotionally, but let her finally see the fact that power can make a person change.
How did this diametrically opposed change take place when she had tried so hard to please her conspiracy teacher, and when she met again, she became a cold man who abused herself? Her beauty did not diminish in the slightest, she still suffocated strangers, and her temper did not get worse, at least not in the eyes of most men.
So the reason is not in herself, Luo Ningcha successfully climbed out of the quagmire of self-pity, and came to a conclusion: Huan Nu has a sentence that is wrong, a woman's power and status do not come entirely from her husband and father, power produces power, only power can produce power, and other methods are projections and illusions.
Look at Mrs. Meng, in the past, she covered the sky with one hand in the stone castle, and it was only a matter of a moment when she was beaten into the cold palace, but people like Dubu Wang and Datou God, you can defeat them over and over again, or even kill them, but you can't deprive them of the power in their hands at will.
Luo Ningcha realized that it took her almost a month.
She thinks slowly, but acts quickly.
It is true that there are former subordinates of the big-headed god who want to come to Miss, Luo Ningcha has never taken it seriously, and when she is in a good mood, she gives a few taels of silver to send away, and she has never met anyone, and now she understands how stupid her approach is, and she actually turned away her father's most important inheritance.
She sent Yahuan to gather the seven or eight leaders of the Iron Mountain who were still stranded in Biyu City, and then personally descended the mountain to meet them as the master.
The young lady's abrupt behavior startled the leaders, but they were all old rivers and lakes, and they knew how to cater to the eccentric big man, as long as the big man was willing to pay.
Luo Ning tea is rich, she used to regard gold and silver as one of the sources of power, every year from the big head god to bring countless gold and silver treasures, now she still attaches importance to these things, yellow and white things are the fertilizer of power, with them can make the flower of power bloom faster and more vigorous.
The leaders were ordered to reunite the old department of Tieshan, as for whether to continue to be a robber in the future or find a new career, Luo Ningcha has not yet thought about it, and it is too difficult for her to make a long-term plan.
Several of the leaders were full of promises, and they were only concerned about one question: whether the young lady's actions were approved by the Dubu King.
Luo Ningcha nodded without hesitation, and didn't tell her first batch of subordinates, she hadn't seen the face of King Dubu for a long time, but she had a trump card in her hand - the tenth son of the king, relying on the identity of the future young master, she felt that she would not be punished no matter how she tossed.
Dubu King soon discovered this woman's nonsense, but he did not stop her, but acquiesced to her to continue messing around, and even sent a deputy knife master to help her deal with financial belongings and control the old department of Iron Mountain, which was gathering more and more.
Luo Ningcha was overjoyed, thinking that the king was still greedy for her appearance, and for a while, she dressed up every day, hoping to be favored again, but all she got was disappointment.
It wasn't until Jinpeng Castle suddenly swept through the Western Regions that Luo Ningcha realized that she had been used, that the deputy sword master had a firm grasp of the old department of Iron Mountain, and she only had the allegiance of these people in name.
Therefore, when she boasted to the Dragon King that she had built an army, her heart was actually full of bitterness.
But this army still brought her benefits, and when the Beiting Xiao Yan clan invited the noblewomen of the countries of the Western Regions and the steppe tribes, they included her in the list.
Luo Ningcha didn't want to go all the way to meet any Xiao Yan, and the most unbearable thing in this world was to bow to another woman.
But after the persuasion of the people around her, she changed her mind and not only wanted to see Xiao Yan, but also the first guest to rush to the Dragon Court.
Gu Shenwei used the female archer of the country of incense to defeat the Jinpeng army, and the impact of this incident was far beyond his and Shangguan Ru's imagination, and even Luo Ningcha suddenly woke up to the fact that women can actually be generals and soldiers, and such an army must be more willing to be loyal to the hostess than those rude men in the old department of Tieshan.
Luo Ningcha rushed to the Dragon Court, uncharacteristically did not make a big noise, and even few people in the stone castle knew that Dubu Wang was one of these few people, but he still adopted a tacit and indulgent attitude.
Beiting Xiao Yan was very surprised by this early arrival guest, so he reciprocated with special courtesy and hospitality.
Luo Ningcha proved that she was also capable of pleasing women, in this regard, she had little experience, and the only reference was Xu Yanwei, who was a little nostalgic for the maid who was born as a prostitute, and didn't understand why Xu Yanwei wanted to follow the Dragon King instead of staying by her side.
In short, she was very successful, the two even ate and lived together, and the noble lady who arrived later didn't know that the beautiful woman next to Xiao Yan's side was also a guest, and flattered her as an important female official, Luo Ningcha enjoyed these very much, and the only person she avoided was Shangguan Ru.
"I'm talking to you now on behalf of Xiao Yan, and she knows that our relationship is not ordinary. Luo Ningcha looked at the Dragon King in a different way, thinking that men with power are almost the same, Huan Nu is more and more similar to Dubu King in temperament, of course, he is younger and more handsome, if he can get his assistance, it will be more useful than a huge army.
Gu Shenwei threw away all kinds of opinions about Luo Ning Tea, this is a negotiation, and he must be treated calmly, "Very good, what does Xiao Yan want?"
"Don't you want to know what the little clan can offer first?"
Gu Shenwei already knew, but still nodded, "Let's hear it." β
"Then it depends on why you came to the North Garden. Instead, Luo Ningcha became reserved, "Alliance, shelter, horses, gold and silver, orβan army?"
Gu Shenwei blurted out and asked, "What about Shangguan Ru? Didn't Xiao Yan put her on the list?"
"Shangguan Ru, what's the matter with her?" Luo Ningcha looked very surprised, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, I see, I still said, why did the people I sent say that they didn't see her, she was missing? Look at you like this...... What's the relationship between the two of you?"
Luo Ning Cha's tone involuntarily became stern.
Gu Shenwei realized that he had made a low-level mistake, and his mind was focused on negotiating to save people this night, ignoring the simple fact that it was unlikely that Xiao Yan would kidnap his guests, let alone use it to blackmail him after the kidnapping.
He turned and walked out, this woman was unreasonable, Xiao Yan trusted her, it was also unreasonable, and it was worthless to negotiate with them.
"Wait. Luo Ningcha immediately changed her tone, she would not be jealous for any man, it was a stupid behavior, and she believed that she was a smart person, "I don't want to meddle in your affairs, but if you want to find someone in the Dragon Court, Xiao Yan may be able to help." β
Gu Shenwei stopped, turned around and said, "I don't like to beat around the bush, if you have something to say, everyone can save time." β
"Once upon a ......time," Luo Ningcha controlled his temper and smiled, "Okay, to be honest, the Xiao Yan clan can provide you with an army, no less than 10,000 people, all of them are Beiting cavalry, and can also help you find clues about Shangguan Ru." β
Luo Ningcha waited to see how surprised the Dragon King was, but Gu Shenwei was more concerned about the price, "Well, what do you want to exchange?"
Luo Ningcha was a little disappointed, and then she became happy again, looking at the Dragon King with the mentality of an apprentice observing the master, feeling that his attitude was impeccable, and the more he wanted something, the more he had to behave indifferently, which was one of the keys to negotiation, "Your sword." β
"A sword for an army, this business is really good. β
"You told me to be straightforward, I shouldn't be confused, you know what I mean. β
Of course, Gu Shenwei understood, "Who does she want this sword to point at?"
Luo Ningcha laughed out loud, "You really dare to think that everyone is looking forward to the early death of the old Khan King, only the Xiao Yan family hopes that he will live a little longer, because she does not have the support of the family like the Da Yan family, and she cannot inherit an inheritance like the prince and grandson, in short, your sword will not stab the old Khan king, but unless you accept the deal, we ...... The little one won't tell you the goal. β
The former killer identity has become the mark of the Dragon King, and no one will forget this.
"Tell Xiao Yanshi and I'll think about it. Shangguan Ru's affairs, you don't have to worry about it. β
"Whatever you want, don't think about it for too long, opportunities can't stop where they are waiting for you. Luo Ningcha didn't expect to get an answer immediately, the pressure on the Dragon King was not big enough, and when he had no way out, he would take the initiative to accept all the conditions, which was the result that Xiao Yan had expected in advance.
No wonder Xiao Yan would agree to Shangguan Ru's plea, and the camp of the busy dragon army was lifted from the siege, and Gu Shenwei planned to investigate her well.
Previously, he, like most people, thought that Xiao Yan was a concubine who was favored by the old Khan king, and it was just a joke to gather the ladies of various countries, but now it seems that this matter is by no means simple, and Gu Shenwei regrets not going to Shangguan to learn more about the situation.
He was about to leave, but Luo Ningcha stopped her again, "The last word, what do you think...... How did I do today?"
Luo Ningcha's eyes lit up, she knew that she should stay calm, but she still couldn't help but want to be evaluated by "Master".
Gu Shenwei didn't know what to say.
"You see, I don't hold a grudge against your rude behavior last time, which means that I can afford to let it go and control my emotions; I can gain the trust of the Xiao Yan clan, which means that I already understand the things of human feelings; I want your help, but first give you a condition that is difficult to refuse, which means that I have learned how to negotiate. All of this is learned from you. β
Gu Shenwei felt that the young lady had not changed at all, "Very good." He said that he left the joyful Luo Ning tea to taste this compliment alone.
Luo Ningcha is not smart, but sometimes she can say smart things, those words may have been stuffed into her head by others, but they did tell the truth, Gu Shenwei was still not sure who had captured Shangguan Ru, but he seemed to suddenly see a bigger conspiracy.
Luo Ningcha never imagined that the negotiation conditions did not arouse the interest of the Dragon King, but a casual sentence opened his mind.
From the day he entered the steppe, he made a series of mistakes, being led by the enemy, passively waiting for the opponent to make a move, and now, he did not want to wait any longer.
Saving people and saving himself, for these two things, Gu Shenwei didn't want to wait any longer.
