Chapter 226 The Bargaining Chip for Inviting Eastern Merchants to Send Troops
The soldier took a closer look and thought, "It's terrible, this is the identity card of a businessman in the capital."The person in front of him turned out to be the Second Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When the soldier saw the token, he quickly knelt down to salute, and the others also knelt down when they saw it.

Shang Hong didn't have time to worry about what happened just now, she waved everyone to stand up and said, "Take me to see the city lord quickly."

The soldiers guarding the city did not dare to be negligent, so they hurriedly asked Shang Hong to meet the city lord.

After seeing the city lord, Shang Hong told her to send troops to arrest the important criminals of the court after she revealed her identity.

The city lord confirmed Shang Hong's identity, so naturally he didn't dare to neglect.I didn't dare to ask who the criminal was, and whether there was any official document from the court.A team of guards was immediately dispatched to follow her to arrest people.

After Nangong Wei left the city, she ran straight to the woods on the border between Nanyue and Dongshang. Based on her understanding of Shanghong, she would definitely bring someone to chase her.

Therefore, she wanted to reach Dongshang in the fastest way.

After entering the forest, Nangong Wei and the others gave up their horses and took the antidote pills, and the three of them walked into the depths of the forest with dry food and water on their backs.

Not long after the three of them entered the forest, Shang Hong led his men to chase after them.

Seeing three horses by the forest, he knew that the three of them had entered the forest.She quickly dismounted and said, "Get off your horses and follow me in."

Because Nangong Wei and the others were not familiar with the road here, they circled the forest twice.

The people around Shang Hong grew up here, and they often come here to collect herbs and hunt, and they are very familiar with this place.

Therefore, Shang Hong and the others quickly caught up with Nangong Wei.

This time, Shang Hong didn't speak any more, but moved his hands directly.She wants to take Nangong Wei back and ask her mother for credit.

Nangong Wei was also unambiguous, and naturally returned the hand.The two have been rivals since childhood, and this is not the first time they have fought, but they have never been able to tell the winner.

However, this time was different.In the past, it was just cutting and rubbing, but this time Nangong Wei wanted Shang Hong's life.

Only by killing Shang Hong and the people she brought with her can she be safe.

Otherwise, when Shang Hong reveals her presence here, endless assassinations await.The life of the queen in the palace will not be easy.

So, no matter what, keep all these people.

The more she beat Nangong Wei, the more ruthless she was. After a long time, Shang Hong discovered the problem.She pointed at Nangong Wei with her sword and said, "You want to kill me?"

Nangong Wei didn't speak, and attacked her again.The knife is slashing at the vital point, and the speed is getting faster and faster.

At this time, Shang Hong realized that she was not Nangong Wei's opponent.In the past, Nangong Wei was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, she hid her strength.

Thinking of this, Shang Hong felt afraid.She backed away while beating, and she still yelled: "Help me, come and save me!"

However, at this time, there were not many people left with her.Hearing Shang Hong's cry, the soldiers who came together gradually surrounded her.

Nangong Wei noticed the other party's movements, and saw that the guards were about to come to rescue Shang Hong.

She changed her move and pretended to step back.Pulling out a short knife from his waist, he threw it at Shang Hong vigorously, but the fast Shang Hong didn't realize what was going on.

Then, I felt a pain in my chest.Looking down, she saw a dagger stuck in her chest, Shang Hong reluctantly said to the guards beside her, "Kill her for me," and fell to the ground.

Seeing that Shang Hong had been stabbed in the chest, the leading guard was very worried.But my own manpower is limited, and it is not easy to kill the opponent.The best way is to find rescuers.

So, the leading guard took out the signal flare from his arms and sent it out.Just as she was about to retreat with Shang Hong on her back, another guard beside her picked up a bow and arrow and shot at Nangong Wei on the opposite side.

This person's arrow skills are so powerful that even the hidden guards around Nangong Wei couldn't block the arrow.

With a sound of "Puff!", the arrow shot into Nangong Wei's back shoulder.Nangong Wei, who was running, fell to the ground suddenly, and the guards beside her quickly ran over, carried her on their backs, and hid behind a tree.

Then he exchanged a glance with the other hidden guard, nodded his head, and continued to run forward, while the other dark guard stayed behind.

The dark guard carrying Nangong Wei on his back made marks on the tree while running.After finding a safe place, he began to check Nangong Wei's injuries.

Nangong Wei was seriously injured, the point of the arrow completely sank into her body.Blood flowed, fortunately there was no poison on the arrow.

The dark guard took out the hemostatic medicine he carried with him and applied it to Nangong Wei, then pulled out the arrow with all his strength.Then continue to apply the hemostatic medicine ten until all the hemostatic medicine on the body is used up.

Nangong Wei pulled out the arrow and put medicine on it.Only then did the dark guard feel relieved, and sat aside to drink some water and rest.

After waiting for more than an hour, another dark guard followed the signs and found him.

Seeing the hidden guard sitting under the tree, he asked, "How is the master's injury?"

"It's nothing serious, but we need to prevent the prince from getting hot. Also, the weather is not very good, we need to find a place to shelter from the rain.

The prince's wound should not touch water, otherwise it will be bad if the wound festers. "Another hidden guard replied.

With that said, the hidden guard got up to find a place to shelter from the rain.

This is a miasma forest, full of trees and grass.There was no place to take shelter from the rain, and in the end I had to find some broad leaves to keep out the rain.

Fortunately, the rain was not heavy, and it didn't last long.This made the two dark guards quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

As soon as the next day dawned, the two dark guards packed up their things, took turns carrying Nangong Wei on their backs and continued on the road.

They were afraid that Shang Hong would continue to send people to chase and kill them, so they had to move forward in the mud.

Moreover, the emperor is still waiting for their news in the palace.They have no time to rest, nor can they rest.

The road is not walking, and there is a person on their backs. They are not walking fast.

They walked for another two days before they left the miasma forest.It's just that the image of the three of them is not very good, they look like savages.

Among the three, Nangong Wei was relatively better.But because of her injury and the dry blood, she looked even more embarrassed.

However, none of the three cared about their own image and continued to walk forward.

After leaving the miasma forest, it was the barren mountain near Dongshang.It was also the bargaining chip that Huang Jie took out to invite Dongshang to send troops this time, but I don't know if Dongshang's new emperor agrees?
Nangong Wei was thinking in her heart as she walked towards the barren mountain.

One and a half months later, Nangong Wei finally entered the palace to meet the Eastern Shang Emperor Chu Yan.Asked Chu Yan to send troops, and of course used the barren mountain as compensation.

Chu Yan also knew about that mountain.Not a single blade of grass grows on that barren mountain, so it's useless to come here by yourself.It is not worthwhile to spend so much food, grass and troops to help neighboring countries.

Chu Yan sat on the dragon chair at the top, looked down at Nangong Wei and said, "Understood, I will consider this matter."

After hearing what Chu Yan said, Nangong Wei felt a little disappointed.She didn't know how long the emperor of Dongshang would think about it?Sister Huang, are you waiting in a hurry?
But no matter how anxious she was, she couldn't show it.After saluting respectfully, she backed off. She couldn't listen to what the ministers and the emperor said next.
