Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the dude to take power

Chen Jingting looked at Tuoba Muyuan, the Seventh Prince of Western Xia. When he was in Western Xia, he had already inquired about this Seventh Prince, who was brave and resourceful.

But his performance in Daliang is intriguing.

Hidden clumsiness?

He also came to Daliang alone. As an envoy, he was too outstanding and easily aroused fear.

Hiding your shortcomings will only make Daliang feel more at ease.

"Captain Chen, why don't you say anything?"

Chen Jingting just glanced at him and said to Lin Tao, "How is the matter being handled?"

"Don't worry, Fourth Young Master. We have followed your instructions. Many people in the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion have been poisoned."

Poisoning?

"Very good. Where is the imperial physician?"

"The imperial physician will be here soon."

"Okay, there are hundreds of people in Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion. If there is only one imperial physician, I am afraid that he will not be able to treat all the patients. They will definitely look for doctors in the city and act accordingly."

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

Tuoba Muyuan was very surprised by his behavior.

"You actually poisoned the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion? You are so audacious. You would do anything to win."

Chen Jingting smiled.

"Seventh Prince, what if this house belongs to Xixia? How would you respond?"

Poisoning? The entire Western Xia?

This is simply wishful thinking.

"How could we possibly fall into this trap? Xixia is home to countless talented individuals, and the land is vast and sparsely populated. Naturally, they wouldn't be trapped like this mansion. Daliang, however, borders enemy countries on three sides, making it the easiest place to be trapped."

Chen Jingting said, "Is that so? From top to bottom, Western Xia has only one source of water, and that is the Dimu River. Although Western Xia has a small population, they all settle near this water source."

It would be easy to poison you.

Tuoba Muyuan's expression suddenly changed. If they used this method to deal with Xixia, then Xixia would be in danger.

How could Daliang, a country that values ​​Confucianism, be so cruel? People still live around the Dimu River.

Tuoba Muyuan himself found this idea ridiculous. He actually hoped that his enemy would show mercy?

"You know us Xixia very well?"

"I study not only the art of war, but also human geography. Your Highness is well-versed in books. Do you know the key to Zhuge Liang's success in borrowing arrows from straw boats?"

Tuoba Muyuan naturally knew it.

He was a particularly famous person in history books. His sinologist teacher told him this story, and it was his favorite story.

Tuoba Muyuan looked at Chen Jingting and suddenly understood something.

He was telling him that he not only knew about Xixia, but also knew things that he didn't know.

He is as smart as Zhuge Liang.

"Master Chen, you are being a bit arrogant."

Chen Jingting: I'm just saying this to tell you that Daliang is full of talented people. But that's fine if you want to understand it that way.

Lin Tao came over and told Chen Jingting, "The doctor is here."

Chen Jingting said, "Let's go in disguise." Then he asked Tuoba Muyuan, "Seventh Prince, do you want to admit defeat?"

"of course not."

Tuoba Muyuan has been unable to enter the Changyuan Marquis Mansion several times in the past few days and has been making preparations.

On the last day, he did have a plan to burn his boats.

Chen Jingting said, "Then I will wait for His Majesty the Seventh Prince at the Marquis' Mansion."

Chen Jingting went in first, and Tuoba Muyuan was not to be outdone, so he asked Chui to prepare torches as well.

"Hammer, fire."

"Yes."

In just a moment, archers were ready, with arrows carrying fire on the handles, shooting one by one.

Soon, thick smoke began to rise from the Changyuan Marquis Mansion.

Wen Xingchen was in his own small courtyard in the Marquis' Mansion, listening to their reports, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

He ordered, "Jinhua, please step into the jar and catch the turtle in it."

"Yes."

After Wen Xingchen arranged all this, he sat down in the house and read a book.

Seven days was enough time for her to memorize the entire content of Sun Tzu's Art of War, so she casually flipped through it again.

Alas, only a wise person can write such a masterpiece.

But she dared to give this book to others. I wonder how much Tuoba Muyuan can understand?

Only by knowing your enemy and yourself can you fight without danger.

Tuoba Muyuan, do you think you understand Daliang?

Since ancient times, marching and fighting have not been just talk, but actual combat.

Just when she was reading leisurely, the window was opened.

Wen Xingchen thought it was Yingying, so he asked, "Yingying, what's going on outside?"

But the inquiry received no response.

Wen Xingchen realized something and looked back suddenly.

The night was dim, but the house was brightly lit, so she couldn't see what was going on outside.

Wen Xingchen stood up and looked towards the window warily.

"Chen Jingting?"

The window was pushed open from the outside and Chen Jingting turned over and came in.

Wen Xingchen felt relaxed, but he was also very curious.

"How did you get in? Where are Yingying and the others?"

"This is all thanks to the fire that Tuoba Muyuan started. They went to put it out."

Wen Xingchen shook his head.

"There are secret guards here? Where are the secret guards?"

"Secret guard? I didn't find any."

Chen Jingting looked fearless.

Didn’t notice? He was able to hide from the secret guards. Wen Xingchen smiled.

"Brother Jingting, you are even better than I thought."

Chen Jingting didn't come in waiting for her praise.

And if it was really a rescue, she should have carried the princess and left. But this was not true, he asked:

"Let's go through the whole process. Do you want to come with me now?"

Wen Xingchen shook his head.

"It's settled, you win."

Chen Jingting thought this matter was a joke. He didn't think that Wen Xingchen set up such a plan just to give Tuoba Muyuan a book.

It was pitch black outside, but bright inside the house.

There are no less than ten night-shining pearls in his house, which shows how luxurious it is.

This was not the first time he came to his boudoir. Last time it was too dark and he didn't see anything.

But this time, he observed carefully.

But he quickly withdrew his gaze and asked:

"What do you want to do, princess?"

"This princess was bored, so she just wanted to have some fun and see Tuoba Muyuan's strength."

"And then? What did you find out?"

"That's all."

"What if he's posing for all this?"

Wen Xingchen smiled.

"He succeeded, didn't he?"

Chen Jingting suddenly realized something.

Tuoba Muyuan wanted Daliang to see that he was brave but not wise, that he was not decisive enough, and that he was not to be feared.

Then we would think that he was brave but not wise, and could not even capture a small mansion.

Wen Xingchen looked at Chen Jingting frowning and smiled.

Smart is mistaken by smart.

"Brother Jingting, do you think he will be afraid of Daliang after this incident?"

"That depends on the princess, whether she lets him in or not."

Wen Xingchen chuckled after hearing this.

"He can't get in."

Tuoba Muyuan really couldn't get in. Even if he set the fire, he didn't know that his every move was being monitored.

The people monitoring him will not be affected by the fire.
