Chapter 228
It's not a matter of time and a half to build a pagoda. There's no need to worry. More energy has to be spent on training. Moreover, Xue Ting's strength of training is much stronger than before.
Although the soldiers complained, general Tan was supportive. "Now you sweat a lot in exchange for a life on the battlefield. You want to accomplish great things with your highness. If you can't bear the pain, you can bring yourself a knife now."
Besides, Xue tingji didn't just bother others. He didn't slack off at all. Every day he practiced from white to black, but he almost got back to the level that Zhu Tang had done evil to him.
Pei Ming knows how hard he is because he has been sleeping on his pillow for several nights and is honest for the first time.
Once it was even more funny. He went to bed in the middle of the night and wanted to make up for the cold treatment he had given her in recent days. However, he just kissed her earlobe and suddenly his head tilted and disappeared.
It turned out that he was so sleepy that he had already fallen asleep. On a closer look, he was much thinner than before, which made people feel sad and complain.
It is true that he needs to strengthen his strength as soon as possible, but why do he work so hard? He is so tired every day. If the enemy comes, how can he deal with it.
So she tried to persuade him. He couldn't bear it, and the soldiers couldn't bear it. Xue tingji also listened. Although he was a little bit restrained, he turned around and played a new trick.
He spent a whole day grinding and writing. He drew a large pile of portraits and pasted them on the target and the column. Then he made a bold demonstration and cut the column in half.
"You all remember this man clearly. Whenever you see him in the future, you will take his life. I'll reward him a lot!"
Such bold words aroused the interest of the officers and men, and they murmured one after another. A bold one even asked, "Your Highness, what reward can you give us?"
Xue Ting pressed down his eyebrows and laughed wildly. He went to the soldier and blocked the light in his field of vision.
"I want you to be generals of Dairong."
Hearing the words, everyone turned pale at first. They were scared by the treacherous words, but then they realized that they were really following the future emperor of Darong.
Although they know how cruel the struggle for the throne is, they believe in his highness Liu. No matter whether he is demoted or secretly protected by the emperor when he comes to Beidi, at least his highness Liu is not a coward. He will surely lead them to success!
Although no one dares to take the lead in disturbing military discipline, Xue tingji can understand their excited eyes, pulls out his dagger and inserts his backhand into the arrow target close to the portrait.
"This man's head, your great cause, should be trained. Let me see your skills on the battlefield!"
The soldiers who got the order finally yelled, pointing their arrows and spears at the man in the portrait, and Pei Ming recognized Xue tingji's brushwork.
Wearing a feather crown and a fur coat, isn't this xiongtukan.
He could not help shaking his head in a funny way. Xue tingji was very careful. He wanted to cut people to pieces. It seems that he and Xiong Tukan have got married. He has to live with him forever.
In the last life, they were also deadly enemies, but Xue tingji's expectation failed. Xiongtukan not only lived well, but also became the Hun's single Yu.
Moreover, the Xiongnu under his leadership also established a good friendly relationship with Darong. It can be said that Xue tingji's throne was successfully won because of this warlike Shan Yu.
I don't know if this life will change the overall situation. Although he is also itched by xiongtu's anger, Pei mingmi still hopes that he can rule the grassland smoothly.
After all, in addition to the original evil, what he did was still very beneficial to Darong.
Suddenly, a dull sound of "Du" interrupted her memory. Xue Ting shot an arrow at a nearby target, but his eyes were staring at her.
"What do you think?" His tone is a little low.
Maybe it's because Xue tingji's eyes are cold against the sun, and her eyes to Pei Ming make her feel uncomfortable, like something to be seen through.
Did he think so much that he was suspicious? Immediately pulled the corners of his mouth to cover up the past, "I think your painters are not as good-looking as that lantern."
I still remember that night of Shangyuan, when the lights were shining, he drew a picture with deep feeling. See, she's not that ungrateful.
Thinking of that, Xue tingji's expression was more relaxed. Pei Ming didn't want to stay any longer, so he turned to ask general Tan about the recent situation.
At this time, general Tan is holding his arms and looking to the north. His expression is not very clear. Seeing that she has not been able to loosen her eyebrows, he obviously has some thoughts.
In the north wind, he took a deep breath and asked Pei Ming why he had taught Xiong Tukan to kill his uncle.
Pei Ming had expected his doubts and answered them very frankly. "His uncle can chase him to the state of Darong. You can imagine how dangerous he is, but Xiong Tukan is only a teenager after all. It will take years to be as resourceful as his uncle."
So wouldn't it be good for a young Shan Yu's only son to help them deal with the immediate threat?
General Tan was surprised for a moment, and then he said with a smile, "if mingniang is a man, I'll give up my position as a general to you."Then he said, "so I wonder if we can take advantage of the chaos of Xiongnu and make them fight against each other, then we will have a chance to benefit from it."
"Chaos?" Pei Ming doesn't quite understand. Under the explanation of general Tan, he suddenly realizes that he has neglected this problem. Maybe xiongtu can really be killed by himself.
No less than the gregarious Darong people, the Huns have been nomadic for generations, and there are many tribes in the vast grassland. In other words, the leaders of those tribes have the capital to covet the position of Chanyu.
In the past, there was Xiong Tukan's uncle. His plot against Shan Yuwei made him the target of public criticism. Now that he is dead, everyone's spearhead is naturally against Xiong Tukan.
General Tan didn't know what xiongtukan would do to Darong in the future. He only knew that if Xiongnu could fall into internal strife and beat the Dragon Court again, Darong's hundred year peace would not be empty words.
But Pei Ming can't help worrying that all the leaders are not easy to deal with. If they replace xiongtukan and become the king of Xiongnu, Darong will never get any advantage.
She frankly dissuaded general Tan's idea. This move was too dangerous. Why should she get into trouble? In case of being attacked by Xiongnu, the gain would not be worth the loss.
Of course, general Tan is not a rash person. He will have a balance. After pressing this idea for a while, he patted Pei Ming on the shoulder. "But your highness can remember this hatred. You'd better comfort him more."
He was right. That night, Xue tingji seldom came back earlier, but he didn't say a word. He stood in front of the window and thought for a long time. He looked exactly like general tan. Can't you guess his mind?
After walking behind him, Pei Ming is about to open his mouth. Xue tingji suddenly turns around and holds her shoulders. Her strength is not small, at least it makes her hard to break free. However, he doesn't notice this. Instead, he stares at her sideways, and his face is full of examination.
"Ah Ming, what did he say to you?"
Pei Ming's heart suddenly jumps. Is he doubting? Doubt that he returned to the Imperial City ahead of time, to xiongtukan copy out of that period of time, and she has any entanglement?
