Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 162 The lion opens its mouth

Ning Zhiwei looked into the distance and saw large flags fluttering, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. "Form a battle formation."

At the command, everyone quickly formed a formation.

Marshal Lu watched from afar as the Ning family's team formed a formation right under his nose. They did it quickly, agilely, and skillfully, as if they had rehearsed it countless times.

The deputy general beside him gasped, "Marshal, this is the Long Snake Formation, the formation that made the Ning family army famous."

The long snake formation, with the head and tail supporting each other, is a very typical formation, but it is a great test of the commander's command ability, military strategy and military thinking.

The same formation would perform mediocrely in the hands of ordinary generals, but in the hands of the Ning family army's commander, it could be played with all kinds of tricks, with a mix of true and false, real and unreal, so flexible and maneuverable that it is impossible to figure out.

It has both offensive and defensive capabilities. Not only is the attack fierce, but the defense is also impenetrable.

Marshal Lu was a little surprised and raised his eyebrows. "It seems that Princess Jingning has an old general who is good at fighting. Old man Ning treats this granddaughter very well."

He just didn't believe how powerful a young girl was. He thought that the defeated soldiers must have been afraid of taking responsibility and deliberately exaggerated and distorted the facts.

The staff looked at it for a while, "This is shocking. It seems that the Princess of Jingning is not an ordinary person. There is no false reputation."

Marshal Lu brought so many soldiers and horses to take the lead and shock all parties. Unexpectedly, the enemy not only did not back down, but instead set up a battle formation and prepared for battle.

A glimmer of light flashed in Marshal Lu's eyes, "I'll meet her later."

When the two teams approached, Marshal Lu looked around and asked loudly, "Who is Ning Zhiwei?"

The curtain of the carriage in front was lifted, revealing a young girl in black. She was not wearing any makeup, her hair was tied up with gold rings, her skin was whiter than snow, she was extremely beautiful and elegant.

"I'm."

A trace of surprise flashed in Marshal Lu's eyes. "Your uncle and I are of the same generation, and I am also your elder. Why don't you salute me?"

Ning Zhiwei was so smart that she understood what he meant right away. She said with a straight face, "I put my country first and my family second. I am a county lady appointed by the court, a super first-rank official. Marshal Lu is the governor of Mingzhou, a second-rank official. You should pay respect to me. As a subject of the Qi Dynasty, you still have to abide by the rules of the court."

If you don't obey, does that mean you want to be a traitor?

Marshal Lu looked at her steadily, with a sense of authority rising from his body. He had been in a high position for many years and had his own majesty.

But Ning Zhiwei was not afraid at all and looked back with indifference.

She looked harmless, but she was not at all inferior to Marshal Lu. In fact, she was slightly better than him.

After an unknown amount of time, Marshal Lu cupped his hands and said, "Greetings to the Princess of Jingning County."

After all, he lowered his head first. Ning Zhiwei raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Get up." It seems that he still doesn't want to confront head-on. He still has some concerns.

It's good to be cautious, she can make trouble.

Who won this battle? Needless to say, everyone saw it.

The Lu brothers and sisters looked at each other in bewilderment. Their majestic and arrogant father actually lowered his head. This was the first time they had ever seen this.

Marshal Lu didn't want to do that either, but he obviously couldn't suppress Ning Zhiwei, and he couldn't really do anything because the 100,000 Ning family soldiers behind her were not dead yet.

"Princess Jingning, I heard that my children were traveling with you, so I came to take them home in person."

He thought he would have to use both soft and hard tactics, and if that didn't work, he would even have to resort to a fight. Unexpectedly, Ning Zhiwei agreed immediately, "Okay."

The Lu family siblings' expressions changed when they heard the voice, "Jingning County Princess."

Ning Zhiwei didn't even look at them, "But before that, let's settle the accounts."

"Your brother-in-law led his men to attack us, causing us huge losses..."

Marshal Lu felt a pang of pain. His side had suffered heavy casualties, and it would be embarrassing to talk about it. "I heard that you had no casualties."

Ning Zhiwei ignored him and continued to perform, "I am hurt. I treated the Lu family as my friends and didn't have any intention of guarding against them. I didn't expect to be attacked again and again, four times in total. This makes me very sad and upset. I didn't recognize people clearly. I thought Marshal Lu was a good person. Alas."

"I treated him as a friend, but he wanted to kill me. My heart is broken. Shouldn't you give me some mental compensation?"

Everyone was shocked. Mental compensation?

Marshal Lu: ...I have never seen such a shameless woman. They are the ones who suffered the most losses.

He looked at the long snake formation, his expression changing from time to time, and no one knew what he was thinking. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly asked, "What do you want?"

Ning Zhiwei raised the corner of her mouth slightly. She was very satisfied with the result of the test. The Lu family had made preparations for both situations.

She immediately said, "One hundred thousand dan of rice, or one hundred thousand taels of gold, or cede the four counties bordering the northwest to me."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience gasped. What a bold idea.

Marshal Lu was furious, pointing at Ning Zhiwei and angrily scolding, "You are fucking crazy, you are dreaming, don't even think about it, the lion's mouth is too big."

Ning Zhi smiled and stroked his chest, "You scared me. I'm so scared."

Although he said these frightening words, he had a brilliant smile on his face, which stunned his opponents.

I feel inexplicably scared and my back feels cold. Why?

Ning Zhiwei rolled her eyes and said, "Mr. Zhou, they want to kill us, what should we do?"

Zhou Hongye immediately got out of another carriage, stood at the front, held his head high and shouted, "Does Mingzhou want to be an enemy of my 100,000 Ning family troops?"

He was very imposing and it was obvious at first glance that he was not an ordinary person. Marshal Lu looked him up and down. Could he be the man behind the deployment of the troops? "Who are you?"

Ning Zhiwei pointed at him, "Military Advisor Zhou Hongye."

Military advisor? That is the person who gives advice and the person who secretly leads the troops? Marshal Lu was secretly alert and said with a smile, "So it's Mr. Zhou. I have always been respectful to the wise and humble, and I recruit talents. I wonder if Mr. Zhou is interested in joining me?"

It was too rude of him to poach people in public. Of course, it was also a tactic. If the master was narrow-minded, it would have been a thorn in his heart.

Zhou Hongye remained calm and said, "The Ning family has been very kind to me. I dare not betray them in the slightest."

Marshal Lu laughed, "A wise bird chooses the right tree to inhabit. The Ning family only has one adult male, and he is a useless man with no future. However, my Mingzhou is strong in military and military, and has many talented people. There is a lot of potential. If you are willing to join me, I will definitely treat you as a guest of honor and give you all the fame, wealth and honor you need."

As he said this, he was observing Ning Zhiwei's expression. Seeing that Ning Zhiwei's expression was changing from time to time, he was secretly happy in his heart. This little girl was still a little naive and could not beat him, an old fox.

Ning Zhiwei suddenly frowned and angrily accused, "Marshal Lu is having a rebellious heart."

Marshal Lu glared and said, "What nonsense! I am loyal to the emperor and have no second thoughts. Heaven and earth can bear witness to this."

"Jingning County Lady, since we have known each other for a while, I will let you go safely. You must give me the military advisor, otherwise we will go to war."

Ning Zhiwei's eyes rolled around, "It's not impossible, but..."

If someone knew her well, they would know from her expression that she was going to trick someone. Unfortunately, Marshal Lu didn't know that.
