She slowly took half a step forward.
"I don't have a biological brother, let alone a family." Shen Ningning's voice echoed in the coldness of the ice and snow, carried by the wind, and sounded emotionless.
There was deathly silence all around, except for the countless pairs of eyes, looking at her silently.
Dong A Niu couldn't help but be startled.
Shen Ningning pursed her pink lips and said, "Didn't you hear what your godfather said?"
"My family was killed by bandits a long time ago."
"So, why did they come to me? It's none of your business , I can't even help Potian, let alone help!"
"You go to the government, if you make trouble again, don't blame me for being rude!"
The little guy said quickly and walked away with his little feet.
Ye Changyi and Lu Shaoyuan quickly chased after her.
The two people were talking one after another, telling Shen Ningning not to be as knowledgeable as Dong A Niu.
Dong A Niu looked at her retreating figure and opened his mouth again and again, but he didn't know what to say.
"This, this..." This girl's heart is too hard.
Originally, he wanted to say something embarrassing to her in public, but Shen Ningning was forced to come to the stage and had to agree to help him find someone.
However, Shen Ningning didn't care at all and didn't accept the move.
The students of the Chinese Academy of Sciences saw that he was a scoundrel.
They all raised their voices to drive them away -
"Get out of here, you are not welcome here."
"Princess Funing is pitiful enough, and you told her miserable life experience in public. If it were me, I would have beaten you to death." Something."
Amid the curses of the crowd, Dong A Niu ran away in despair like a mouse crossing the street.
As soon as he walked around the corner, he was stopped by two fierce guards.
"You, you, what do you want to do?" Dong A Niu was startled.
The guard didn't talk nonsense to him.
He only said fiercely: "Our Lord has an order to arrest you in prison, let's go!"
The two of them grabbed Dong A Niu's arms, one on the left and the other on the right, and took him back to Dali Temple forcefully.
a whole night.
In the cold and damp dungeon, Dong A Niu's screams never stopped.
At first, he refused to recruit.
But the interrogating officials at Dali Temple had many ways to make him speak.
Early the next morning, Xie Mingan was wearing a navy blue robe, and his figure was as tall as jade.
He stepped into Dali Temple.
The chief clerk came up to him: "Sir, that Dong A Niu has finally been recruited."
After Xie Mingan sat down at his desk, he picked up Dong A Niu's examination questionnaire and looked at it.
Xingxing looked over, his thin eyes narrowed slightly, showing coldness.
It turned out that Dong A Niu had received money from a wealthy businessman in the town and wanted to sell his sister Dong Sanhua to be a concubine.
However, Dong Sanhua disagreed and ran away the day before the wealthy businessman offered her the job.
There is still no trace of his whereabouts.
However, Dong A Niu took the money from the wealthy businessman and spent it all.
Now that he can't hand over the person or pay back the money, the wealthy businessman wants his life!
In desperation, Dong A Niu thought of asking Shen Ningning for protection and help.
He wanted to use Shen Ningning's connections as the princess to find people in the capital.
Unexpectedly, Shen Ningning didn't accept the move at all.
Xie Mingan read everything and closed the file.
The chief clerk asked: "My lord, what should I do with him next?"
Xie Mingan's eyes turned cold: "Send someone to ask Shen Ningning, explain the whole story clearly, and ask her how she wants to deal with this person."
"Yes." The chief clerk said. As he was about to go out, he was suddenly stopped by Xie Ming'an again.
Xie Ming'an thought for a while and said in a clear voice: "By the way, I want to tell her that Prime Minister Xie misses her a little. If she has nothing to do today, she can go home for dinner."
The head clerk nodded and took note, and quickly went to do it.
However, an hour later, the master book returned with a troubled expression.
"My lord."
Xie Mingan put down his pen and said, "Speak."
The chief secretary sighed: "The princess said that Dong A Niu has nothing to do with her, and Grandma Qin also supports punishment according to law." "
So, she won't come, let's The adults can decide for themselves."
Xie Ming'an's thin eyes suddenly seemed to be covered with frost. "Has she agreed to go home for dinner?"
"No..." The head clerk shook his head: "The princess said that she is busy with her studies. She had dinner with the Prime Minister in the city yesterday and will not be back today."
Xie Mingan Frowning.
It turns out that Shen Ningning doesn't go back to Xie's house now, but always eats alone with Xie Suzhi outside?
But Xie Suzhi never mentioned it.
They look like father and daughter! Treat him as an outsider.
Xie Ming'an thought about it and pinched his eyebrows irritably.
"I understand, please step back."
"Uh..." The chief secretary hesitated: "Sir, you haven't said yet, how to deal with this Dong A Niu, hand it over to the government, or?
" Sharp as a knife.
"Princess Princess is a title personally granted by the Emperor. If he humiliates Shen Ningning in public, he is disrespecting the Emperor. According to the law..."
Xie Mingan pondered for a moment.
The chief clerk was just about to say that according to the law, thirty boards should be replayed.
Unexpectedly, Xie Mingan then said: "I will whip him fifty times and imprison him for half a month as a warning to others."
The chief secretary was secretly frightened and hurriedly handed over his hands: "Yes, my subordinates will do it now."
He clicked his tongue.
Originally, the files handled by Dali Temple were all major matters involving officials and the country.
Going beyond the government and directly punishing ordinary people like Dong A Niu is already killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.
This time, Dong A Niu still received such a heavy punishment.
The cold winter is harsh, and the wounds caused by the whip will not heal.
Everyone said that Xie Ming'an was ruthless, and now the chief clerk felt that the rumors outside were indeed accurate.
at the same time.
The frontier, which is as cold as the capital, is also a world of ice and snow.
The gloomy sky, the cold snowy field.
The Black River flowing in front of the city has long been frozen into thick ice.
Lion's Head City, the border city of Cangyun Kingdom, is standing in such a boundless and cold wilderness, facing the Black River.
It is like a silent giant. The extended city wall is like an arm, guarding the border of Cangyun Kingdom behind it. It is difficult for the enemy to climb such majestic lofty mountains.
Looking up in the dark and cold ice and snow, Lionhead City looks like a black mountain rising straight into the sky, towering and indestructible.
The soldiers of Changliu Kingdom set up a camp near Lion Head City.
They were just waiting for a suitable opportunity to attack the city.
However, at the beginning, they had high fighting spirit and came with rich supplies to start the war. They just wanted to take advantage of Cangyun Kingdom to be affected by the cold disaster and tear a piece of flesh from them!
However, it has been more than a month since they arrived, but it has still been difficult to break into Lion Head City.
First, General Xie Mingxu, the general of the Cangyun Kingdom, led six columns in and out, and raided the Changliu Kingdom's barracks several times, catching them off guard!
Furthermore, the Qingdai female general and his wife led troops twice to outflank them.
They don't kill people, they only steal food rations. The soldiers of Changliu Kingdom care about the head rather than the tail, and the couple often succeeds.
That's all, but what's even more outrageous is that
there are always smoke igniting in Lion's Head City!
Neither the people nor the soldiers seemed to be short of food.
This made the generals of Changliu Kingdom extremely confused.
Before coming, they had already found out that Cangyun Country had been experiencing droughts and cold disasters one after another, and it was a good time to make ends meet.
It is said that the people are so hungry that they eat dirt and snow. How can there be a continuous supply of food in the city?
On the contrary, they, the Changliu soldiers, were almost dying.
One after another, their people froze to death.
And the rations they brought were very little left.
So far, he has not received any benefit from Xie Mingxu, the general of Cangyun Kingdom.
Several leading generals from the Changliu Kingdom had to get together to discuss strategies.
Several people held their own opinions and had a lot of quarrels.
But in the end they all come to a conclusion.
If they don't do something, they will lose the war!
"General, we finally received a letter from our arrangement!" A scout ran into the camp with a heavy load of snow on his shoulders and an excited expression.
The leading general Kimura hurriedly opened the letter.
After seeing it, he was greatly shocked.
"Xie Mingxu has an expert behind him to provide spiritual herbs?!"
