Chapter 12 Encountering Bad Guys Overnight in Inns
Chapter 12
"The Feng Pavilion falls in Tongque Mountain, and the flowers are fragrant and the butterflies are dancing. The grass is green. Swing your horse and whip to the west, and you will have good news to enter the imperial capital." On the mountain road in front of the Tongque Mountain Luo Feng Pavilion, Tang Jiusheng, riding a black unicorn horse, rode
Ximen Yushuang, who was wearing a big white horse, was coming back with the fat man, Liu Ruqing and others were bidding farewell, and Tang Jiusheng couldn't help but write a limerick again.
Listening to Tang Jiusheng's casual poem, the fat man couldn't help laughing, "Old Tang, you are really sour. Fatty, my teeth are almost so sore that they will fall out. In half a month's time,
The fat man has settled the affairs of the cottage and will go to Dadong Inn in Huzhou City to find you. Then he will meet your two good friends Gao Chongyang and Sun Jiangdong."
The emperor has decreed that these men in Tongque Village have been recruited by the imperial court. There are originally six to seven hundred people in the village. Except for the one to two hundred old, weak, sick and disabled who have been allocated the resettlement expenses and have gone home, there are more than five hundred brothers.
assumed the status of an officer.
The imperial edict said that Zhonglai would be appointed as a school captain and lead this team to be stationed in Dangyang County nearby. Fatty and Zhonglai are negotiating with the Dangyang County magistrate these days to hand over the stationing place and other matters. After all are settled, they can move.
, currently still living in Dazhai, Tongqueshan.
Tang Jiusheng waved to Fatty and the others, "Fat brother, come again, Sister Liu, don't send me away anymore, just go back. Let's say goodbye, and we will definitely see you again in the future. Come again, you guys will practice your kung fu well, I hope next time
When we meet, you can reach the third level."
Being called 'your boy' by Tang Jiusheng, who was more than ten years younger than him, he was not angry again. He laughed and said: "Boss, you also know that I like to push people to the next level. I will never move to the next level unless I have to press them to the next level."
Yes. I am in the fourth-level realm, and I have to overwhelm the masters who can sweep the fourth-level realm before I consider promotion. Hehe."
Tang Jiusheng smiled and shook his head, "You kid, this way of playing is just different from others. Forget it, you have to figure it out yourself. I won't talk to you anymore, let's go, or it will get dark if we don't leave."
Ximen Yushuang also raised her hand: "Fat Jiang, Sister Liu, see you again!"
Liu Ruqing and Fatty said goodbye to Ximen Yushuang, and then laughed and said, "Goodbye, sister-in-law." Ximen Yushuang spat with a smile.
Several people said goodbye at the intersection. Fatty, Zhongqi and others stood at the intersection and watched from a distance until the backs of Tang Jiusheng and Ximen Yushuang disappeared from sight, and then they returned to the village.
After leaving the mountain road and onto the official road, Tang Jiusheng and Ximen Yushuang put on the masks made by the fat man, and rode through Dangyang County, one behind the other, towards Huzhou.
In the evening, I walked to Daxi Town and stayed at a relatively large inn in the town. The inn was called Xiangyun Inn, which was a large two-story courtyard. The innkeepers were a husband and wife couple. The boss was a middle-aged man with a gentle manner and his wife.
She has a good look, speaks sharply, and orders the two guys to do things with her hands on her hips.
One of the waiters is in his thirties, has a big face, and is not good at talking. The other is thirteen or fourteen years old. When he sees anyone staying in the hotel, he always calls "guest officer" with a smile. He is a very attentive little waiter.
As soon as the proprietress saw the horses they were riding, she knew they were from a traveling aristocratic family. She hurriedly asked the young man to take the horses to the stables, tie them up and feed them. With a warm and sincere look on her face, she boasted that her inn was the best within a hundred miles.
While talking, he wiped oil on the face of Tang Jiusheng, who looked handsome even in a mask. Tang Jiusheng pretended not to know.
When registering at the counter, Tang Jiusheng and his wife claimed to be brother and sister, and their surname was Tang. They first went to the counter to pay a deposit of one or two silver dollars and asked for two upper rooms next to each other on the second floor. The boss saw Ximen wearing a mask.
Yushuang was obviously stunned for a moment, thinking that this girl has really big breasts and a good figure, but her face is mediocre, which is a pity. If she had the face of her brother, she would be beautiful.
After entering the room, Tang Jiusheng ordered a few side dishes, two bowls of rice, and a pot of rice wine, and drank with Ximen Yushuang in the room. Ximen Yushuang secretly pinched Tang Jiusheng's arm. Tang Jiusheng glared at the pain and quickly rubbed it himself.
Rubbing, rubbing and asking, "Why are you pinching me? Where did I offend you?"
Ximen Yushuang glared and said, "The landlady just tried to eat you, but you didn't resist and seemed to enjoy it? Did you feel lustful again when you saw the landlady's beauty?"
Tang Jiusheng said angrily, "Sister, how prettier is the boss lady than you? I've been polite to you all the way, let alone to such a mature woman with a thick waist? You can't think of that! Eat quickly, don't
It's off-putting to me." Ximen Yushuang couldn't help but laugh after thinking about it.
Tang Jiusheng took a bite of the food and said while eating: "I have never seen a woman more jealous than you. If I see a beautiful woman,
Bright woman, I looked at you twice, are you going to dig out my eyes?"
Ximen Yushuang pouted, "Xiao Tang, you are only allowed to look at me from now on."
Tang Jiusheng said with a straight face, "It's too late, I already have my little junior sister. My little junior sister is gentle and beautiful. She won't be angry with any woman I see, because she knows that I only love her."
Ximen Yushuang was furious and wanted to pinch Tang Jiusheng: "You still say that! Xiao Tang, you are obviously bullying me into liking you, and you change your ways every day to annoy me."
Tang Jiusheng said: "Let me tell you, Ximen Yushuang, if you are so aggressive, I will see how you will get married in the future. If you are always so aggressive towards me, I will not dare to marry you. I am afraid that one day I will look at a beautiful woman too much."
You put some rat poison in the wine when you go home, and I don't even know how I died."
Ximen Yushuang pulled the chair closer to Tang Jiusheng, sat down, gently rubbed Tang Jiusheng's arm with her hands, and said in a cooing voice: "Xiao Tang, does it still hurt? It's my fault that I pinched you.
Isn’t it because I feel uncomfortable seeing other women taking advantage of you? Since I like you so much, please don’t be like me, okay?”
Tang Jiusheng squinted his eyes, with an expression of enjoyment on his face: "Well, it's comfortable, rub it a little more, oh, yes, yes, yes, it's comfortable. Why don't you always be so obedient? Don't you think about it, how many men like aggressive things?"
Ximen Yushuang asked seriously again: "Xiao Tang, when do you plan to marry me?"
Tang Jiusheng couldn't laugh or cry: "Sister, I am only fifteen years old, not yet sixteen, and you are only sixteen years old. Why are you in such a hurry to get married? You are so beautiful, and there are so many good men in the Great Shang Kingdom.
, you don’t want to hang yourself on a tree like mine before you pick one after seeing too many of them?”
Ximen Yushuang shook her head and said very seriously and firmly: "I don't want to choose anymore. I have met such a good young man like you. Am I stupid to go and look for you again? Then when are you going to come to my house to propose marriage?"
Tang Jiusheng had a melancholy look on his face, "Sister, I have to marry my junior sister first, right? Let me tell you, I am not a person who changes my mind when things change. My junior sister is the love of my life. From the first moment I saw her, I fell in love with her.
I have decided that I will definitely marry her as my wife."
Ximen Yushuang looked angry: "I didn't say I wouldn't let you marry her. As a man, he has some skills. It's normal to have three wives and four concubines. I can accept it. At worst, she will be the big one and I will be the small one.
.Didn’t my father marry several wives? It’s true. None of you men are good, you are all very carefree, and you fall in love with every one you meet.”
Tang Jiusheng smiled bitterly and said: "Sister, you are talking as if you have seen many men. Even if you want to be a junior, you have to agree with junior sister."
Ximen Yushuang suddenly had a bad smile on her face, "Then when I see her, I'll coax her well. As long as she agrees happily, that's it. I don't want to compete with her for favor. Xiao Tang, it's agreed, then you can
The two of us are not allowed to marry another woman!"
Tang Jiusheng looked helpless: "Sister, you just said that having three wives and four concubines is normal, but you lied about it in the blink of an eye. How do you expect me to believe that you are telling the truth? You have to know that if a woman shows she hates getting married, a man will
Scared away!"
Ximen Yushuang looked at Tang Jiusheng with a look of resentment on her face: "Look, I know you don't like me, and you still want to have a group of wives and concubines. Xiao Tang, when will you come to our house to propose marriage?"
Tang Jiusheng laughed and said, "Sister, have you ever thought about it? It's not impossible for you to marry me. If one day, your second brother-in-law, King Ping Xi, rebels against you, my Tang family will definitely be loyal to the court. If the Ximen family stands on your side,
Second sister, what should we do? They and I have become enemies, and if you stand in the middle, you will be in a dilemma. Will you help your mother's family or our Tang family?"
Ximen Yushuang was silent, and after a while she said: "When you marry, you will obey your husband. If you marry into your family, you will be yours. I will follow you as you do."
Tang Jiusheng was suddenly moved. He stretched out his hand and stroked Ximen Yushuang's hair: "You silly girl! I promise you, if the junior sister agrees, I will marry you too. Although you are a bit more aggressive, I can slowly
training."
The two people were talking when they heard a huge commotion outside the store, and some people were shouting from downstairs: "Sent the man here to check the night."
Tang Jiusheng put down his wine glass, opened the window and looked down. He saw a few official servants standing at the gate of the inn, and a dozen official servants followed a squad leader into the courtyard of the inn, looking around the inn.
The innkeeper's wife twisted her coquettish waist and walked forward, "Oh,
Bei Ban Tou, what kind of wind brought you here today? You didn’t go out to drink wine in the middle of the night, but you took your brothers for more than thirty miles to come to this remote town to check the night?"
The squad leader surnamed Bei laughed: "Recently, there have been gangsters in the area, and they have lost money and children. The county magistrate has issued an order, asking the strong squad and the quick squad to check whether there are any suspicious people in the inns under the jurisdiction of the county.
Waiting to check in. Boss lady, is there anyone suspicious appearing in your inn?"
The landlady smiled and said: "Oh, my boss, you know that we are a small business and have people from all walks of life living in the hotel, but we haven't seen anyone suspicious. If there is, we will definitely report it.
Government." As he spoke, he secretly stuffed a small bag containing money into the hands of Team Leader Bei.
Captain Bei squeezed it with his hand, smiled brightly, and stuffed it into his pocket. Just as he was about to speak, he saw an official who was going to the stable come out and said, "Boss Bei, there is a unicorn horse in this stable. This is not an ordinary horse."
What others can have, especially..."
When Bei Bantou heard this, his expression changed immediately, "Boss Boss, who is this person riding the unicorn?"
The landlady said hurriedly, "The man riding the unicorn is a young man named Tang. He looks like he is a member of a noble family. He doesn't look like a bad guy."
Captain Bei shook his head, "It's hard to say that these are the days of war and chaos. I'd rather catch three thousand by mistake than let one go. Let me take a look at this young man riding a unicorn horse."
The innkeeper's wife looked helpless, "I'm afraid that this young man has already fallen asleep and disturbed his rest."
Tang Jiusheng could see and hear clearly from the second floor and coughed: "I'm not asleep yet. Since this class leader has official duties, let him check it out."
The landlady raised her head and saw Tang Jiusheng in front of the window on the second floor. She was very grateful: "Oh, Mr. Tang hasn't rested yet. Look at what happened. Mr., you are really a reasonable person."
Captain Bei looked up and looked at the young man named Tang. He didn't look like a bad guy, so he asked, "Isn't the young man's accent from Jiannan Dao?"
Tang Jiusheng nodded, "I live in Jiangnan Road, and I am a member of Jiangnan Road. I am out to travel."
When the head of the Bei squad heard that he was a famous Juren master, he quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Oh, such a young Juren master is so young and promising! I have been sent on an assignment and I disturbed your rest. I'm sorry."
Tang Jiusheng smiled and threw his photo ID from upstairs to Team Leader Bei for him to check. Team Leader Bei took it and took a look at it. There was no problem. He hurriedly threw the photo ID back to Tang Jiusheng and sighed, "
Excuse me, Mr. Tang Juren, please take a rest early."
Tang Jiusheng smiled kindly and said, "It doesn't matter. I understand my responsibilities." Then he closed the window.
Bei Bantou checked around the inn and found nothing unusual, so he left with all the officials.
Tang Jiusheng continued to sit down and drink. Ximen Yushuang said, "These officials are really verbose."
Tang Jiusheng didn't take it seriously, "Who wouldn't want to sleep at home with his wife in his arms in the middle of the night? Officials are the ones who eat this meal. Aren't they complaining about gangsters? I don't blame them for this."
Ximen Yushuang snorted: "You are the only one with a good heart."
The two chatted for a while, and Ximen Yushuang was tired and went back to his room to rest. Tang Jiu Sheng blew out the lamp, sat on the bed in lotus position, and used the method of breathing and breathing to practice mystical internal skills.
Around midnight, Tang Jiusheng suddenly heard a slight sound of tiles on his roof. This was obviously the sound of night walkers climbing up the eaves, walking over the walls, and jumping onto the roof. Although Tang Jiusheng was young, he had deep internal energy. He immediately held his breath and lay down gently.
Get on the bed, cover yourself with a quilt, and breathe evenly.
Hearing someone on the roof gently open the window to a small gap, Tang Jiusheng hid in the quilt and watched with a blink of an eye. He saw a thin tube extending through the gap in the window, and a stream of gray-white smoke came out.
It spread quickly in the house, and it turned out that the scent was being secretly released.
Tang Jiusheng hurriedly took out two pills of antidote, stuffed them into his nostrils, coughed twice on purpose, and pretended to be intoxicated by the incense.
The people on the roof heard that the people in the room were fainted by the incense, so they opened the window gently, jumped into the room, leaned gently to the bed, and reached out to touch Tang Jiusheng's baggage. Tang Jiusheng lay on the bed, laughing secretly in his heart.
