Nanming Engineer

Chapter 357

Princess Changping's heartfelt confession deeply shocked Wang Huan's heart. He originally thought that the princess's willingness to condescend to marry and commit herself to a soldier from a poor family like him was just to maintain the political marriage in the ruins of the Ming Dynasty. Regardless of whether Chang Ping was voluntary or not, this was a conspiracy on the surface. Its purpose was the same as the marriage between the Central Plains dynasty and the nomadic people, exchanging the lifelong happiness of women for the stability and longevity of the dynasty.

Wang Huan pondered for a while, and said: "Your Highness, the princess is serious. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, it is natural for me to be loyal to the country and serve the king. Whether the princess is married to me does not affect my leading troops to fight. What I should do, I will do the same."

This was a bit vague, Wang Huan said it on purpose.

Chang Ping smiled sadly, shook his head and said: "It is inconvenient for the Marquis to say it clearly, but I know it well in my heart. The Ming Dynasty has been completely corrupted. Even though the emperor is interested in it, he suffers from the dangerous situation and has no useful people and no trustworthy ministers. Look at the court. Among all the ministers in the hall, which one really cares about the Ming Dynasty? They argue and attack each other all day long. They talk impassionedly and eloquently, but when a critical moment comes, they are either helpless or cowering. No one is like this. A trustworthy and trustworthy minister."

She sighed faintly, buried her head lower, and said softly: "Perhaps, at the time of my father, the hearts of the people in the world had already been chilled, and this has led to today's situation. The ancients said that the embankment of a thousand miles Collapsed in an ant nest, frozen three feet is not a day's cold, Da Ming is already terminally ill, if you want to turn things around, you must have great perseverance and great wisdom. However, there are some things that are beyond the reach of human beings, and they gradually become depressed, and they are no longer what they used to be."

Wang Huan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, opened his eyes and looked out the door, and whispered: "Wang is so virtuous and capable that he can be favored by the princess. Wang doesn't think he has great perseverance. O great wise man.”

Princess Changping looked forward to Wang Huan, and said softly, "Master Hou is different from those generals and governors who only care about their own interests. They collect people's wealth and cut off taxes, just to fill their own pockets. The people are living in poverty, greedy for profit, but also short-sighted, thinking that they can enjoy wealth and wealth in peace and wealth if they are in the country. They are all national thieves and can be punished! But Hou Ye is different. , and then to Xi'an, what you see and hear along the way is a scene of prosperity and vitality. There are no hungry people blocking the roads, no frozen bones in the eyes, new seedlings in the fields, and merchants in the city. Compared with the apocalypse outside, it is like Heaven."

Hearing her praise, Wang Huan felt inexplicably embarrassed, his old face blushed, and he said shyly, "Where is it, the princess is flattering you."

Princess Changping didn't care about Wang Huanyan's insincere self-effacement, and continued: "Eastern captives have conquered the two capitals in the north and the south, and the court of the Ming Dynasty is in the southeast, and it is about to face annihilation. To be honest, the emperor and I are already in despair. During the days of fleeing here and there, I was in a state of flux. After today, I don’t know where I will live tomorrow. After eating this meal, I don’t know if I can survive the next meal. In the confusion, people can’t see hope, until Li Chengdong’s Guangdong is a little stable anyway. Only then can we stop and take a breath."

"A concubine originally had no hope for revenge. In this life, I may only become a nun and recite scriptures in front of the Buddha. May the evil ones be punished by the gods. The heavens will open their eyes and punish them in the reincarnation. Only then can I comfort myself."

Speaking of this, Princess Changping's eyes were bright, and she looked at Wang Huan full of hope. The soft and beautiful expression made Wang Huan feel uncomfortable, as if she owed this woman something.

"It wasn't until the imperial court received the news from Wang Yingxiong through the Jinyiwei system that the emperor and I knew that far away in Bashu, there was a shocking victory. The traitor Zhang Xianzhong was actually wiped out by him, and he even resisted the army of Prince Hauge of Donglu Su. Pressure, such feats are enough to eclipse any general of the current dynasty."

Princess Changping withdrew her gaze and said softly: "The emperor and I both know Wang Yingxiong's abilities. He has been in Sichuan for many years and has no skills. How come he suddenly becomes brave as if he has enlightened himself? This is not in line with common sense, so he sent a secret agent After asking around, I learned the truth that had been covered up by the officials in the court."

Goosebumps rose up on Wang Huan's body. He knew what Princess Changping was going to say next.

"That is, it turns out that in the treasure land of Sichuan, a young hero came out of the family of the great hero Qin Taijun. This man started mining with nothing, made money from the land, traveled across the southwest in just a few years, gathered people to accumulate food with strong financial resources, and also had great wisdom and inventions. With all kinds of firearms, he can win every battle, and he is both civil and military. It is because of this person that Wang Yingxiong can fake the power of a tiger and achieve unparalleled achievements."

Princess Changping's eyes became hotter and brighter as she spoke, and she couldn't help but cast her hot eyes on Wang Huan again, making no secret of her affection, which greatly satisfied Wang Huan's vanity.

"This person is Lord Hou. From the moment I got the news, I made up my mind to follow Lord Hou regardless of the royal family. Only you are this strange man in troubled times, and only you Only you have the hope of revenge for my family!"

Facing Princess Changping's passionate gaze, Wang Huan felt that the goosebumps on his body had completely faded away, replaced by a hot temperature burning his whole body. He calmed down and shook his head slightly to calm down.

"The princess loves you so much, Wang is terrified." He tried his best to sound calm, and said, "However, there are many people in the world who are stronger than Wang, let alone Li Chengdong, the Duke of Huiguo, who lives in Guangzhou. With millions of soldiers, you can also avenge the princess."

Princess Changping shook her head, and said with a slightly apologetic lowered face, "Your Majesty is in the Zhaoqing military camp, and my concubine, as Li Chengdong, said good things? At that time, you and I met for the first time, and we didn't know each other's details, and there were many cliques in the court. The relationship is complicated, so I made a tentative statement, please Hou Ye Haihan."

As she spoke, she stood up and gave Wang Huan a solemn blessing, but she only had one hand, so it was a bit inconvenient to do this.Wang Huan hurriedly stood up to return the gift.

Chang Ping blushed, lowered his head and said, "Master Hou, please sit down."

Wang Huan was used to being polite to women in later generations, so he habitually replied: "Huh? Sit down, sit down."

Chang Ping shook his head firmly: "I have been betrothed to the Marquis. Of course, the Marquis must sit down first, and then he can sit down."

Wang Huan looked at him: "That's it, good good."

So the two of them sat down one after another. At this time, the atmosphere in the hall had changed. The two of them had a heart-to-heart talk. Chang Ping made it clear that he was Wang Huan's person and died as Wang Huan's ghost. Wang Huan also After understanding the reason why Chang Ping was determined to marry him, they opened their hearts to each other, and their intimacy suddenly increased dramatically.

However, in this way, the ambiguous taste began to permeate. Wang Huan was originally handsome, Chang Ping was extremely beautiful, and the two of them were in their twenties. It depicts the wonderful relationship between the two people who refuses to talk but stops talking, and who wants to talk but stops talking.

Wang Huan peeked at Chang Ping and licked his lips. He felt that it would be wrong to leave at this time. He was about to find something to say when he heard the sound of someone walking in the yard outside.

The footsteps were thick and powerful, not as gentle as those of the maids. Wang Huan thought about it and suddenly felt a little angry. The only one who dared to break in at this time was Ma Wannian who was outside.

Sure enough, the hall door was lightly knocked twice, and Ma Wannian's pinched voice sounded: "Master Marquis, uh, I have something important to report!"

Wang Huan cursed in his mind, stood up and smiled apologetically at Chang Ping.

The melancholy look on Princess Changping's face was fleeting, she got up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has something urgent to do, so let's get busy first."

Wang Huan wanted to say something, but because Ma Wannian's light bulb was outside, he couldn't speak. He could only say a few words about staying in peace and visiting again when he had time, and stepped out.

In the yard outside, Ma Wannian looked at Wang Huan with a strange expression, like an entertainment reporter who caught Wang Huan having an affair.

Wang Huan asked him angrily, "What's the matter?"

Only then did Ma Wannian solemnly hand over a wax pill, bowed and whispered: "An urgent message from the envoy from Shanxi."
