Chapter 29: Tang Kun, Lord of the Tang Family Castle
Standing in front of the gate of Tangjiabao, Xue Xichen looked up at the gold plaque hanging high at the door and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow - made of pure gold, so rich!"
Feng Qingge smiled and led Jueying towards the strong man guarding the gate. She cupped her hands and said, "On this royal night, I would like to see Lord Tang Bao. I wonder if Lord Tang Bao is here?"
The gatekeeper looked Feng Qingge up and down and muttered, "An outsider?"
Feng Qingge replied politely: "I am indeed not from here. I have come all the way here just because I have something important to see Lord Tang! Could you please let me know on my behalf?"
The gatekeeper waved his hand and said impatiently: "Go, go, go! Lord Tangbao doesn't see outsiders!"
Feng Qingge put down her identity and begged her sincerely, "Brother, please make it easier for me! We really have something urgent to ask to see Lord Tangbao!"
However, the man guarding the gate showed no respect at all and waved his hand to drive people away, "Go, go, go! Go back where you came from! Tangjiapu does not accept outsiders!"
Xue Xichen led Xiaobao forward and said with a smile: "Is the eldest brother from the Tang Sect?"
The gatekeeper raised his chin arrogantly, snorted coldly, folded his hands across his chest, and said proudly: "You girl is very discerning! I am indeed from the Tang Sect!"
Xue Xichen showed an expression of admiration and exclaimed: "It turns out that the eldest brother is so powerful. It's really humiliating to ask the eldest brother to guard the door!"
Mentioning this, the big man was also holding back his anger. He didn't want to guard this door. He cursed and said: "Bah! It's all that bastard Tang Dong. He put me in small shoes because I didn't like it, and even sent me to guard it.
Gate! When he falls, I will see if I don’t kill him!"
Xue Xichen secretly laughed in her heart. This big man is actually a solid person. The best way to deal with a solid person is to put yourself down, lift others up, and follow his wishes.
Xue Xichen pretended to be sad and lamented: "Brother, you are right! It is too unworthy of a man as wise and powerful as you to be sent to guard the door! I feel pity for you!"
The gatekeeper seemed to have met a confidant and was overjoyed. "Sister, it's rare for eldest brother to meet a confidant after guarding the gate for so many years! Sister, you are eldest brother's confidant! Sister, are you here to find the Tangbao Master?"
"Alas!" Xue Xichen sighed, pretending to be regretful, "Brother, I also know the rule of Lord Tangbao not to see outsiders. You see, I don't want to embarrass brother. Why don't you give me something to Lord Tangbao? I beg you.
Big brother must hand it over to Lord Tangbao personally."
"That's easy to say!" The gatekeeper responded readily, "What do you want me to convey to you?"
Xue Xichen took out an exquisitely crafted rosewood box from her arms, held it in front of the big man with both hands, and opened it gently in front of the big man, "Brother, look, this is just a small thing. I'm not talented, I want to
Give this thing to Lord Tangbao as a meeting gift!"
The gatekeeper lowered his head and took a closer look, and sure enough he saw a piece of transparent material as thin as an ice flake lying quietly in the rosewood box. The gatekeeper had never seen such a rare thing before, and he concluded that the meeting gift that Xue Xichen gave to Lord Tang must be worth thousands of gold.
.He quickly held it with both hands and said in agreement, "Okay! Brother will help the girl get it in now!"
"It's time for you, big brother!"
After the man left, Feng Qingge asked Xue Xichen, "What is the meeting gift you asked him to give to Lord Tangbao?"
Xue Xichen smiled mysteriously at Feng Qingge, "This is what Lord Tang Bao has been looking for most in his life! Don't worry, he will see us soon!"
"Huh?" Feng Qingge was surprised. Seeing Xue Xichen holding a bag in his chest, he lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then calmed down and waited for the results the big man brought back.
If it was as Xue Xichen said, within a few minutes, the gatekeeper came in a hurry and said respectfully to Xue Xichen and Feng Qingge: "Master Tangbao, please come in!"
"Thank you, brother! Please take care of Jueying and Xiaobao."
"Easy to say! Easy to say!"
Xue Xichen and Feng Qingge handed the horses to the man and walked into Tangjiabao.
As soon as the two entered Tangjiabao, a butler came out to greet them. Xue Xichen thanked the butler, and the two of them followed the butler to Lord Tang's study.
"Master of the castle, the guests are here!"
"Invite them in!"
"yes!"
The housekeeper opened the study door, and Xue Xichen and Feng Qingge stepped in.
In front of the desk, Tang Bao Master Tang Kun was holding a rosewood box and looking at it carefully. Sometimes he was amazed, sometimes happy, sometimes excited, and seemed to love it. Xue Xichen smiled and said: "Tang Bao Master, does this gift suit your wishes?"
"It fits! It fits so well!"
Tang Kun couldn't help but asked excitedly: "May I ask, girl, where did you find this life and death talisman?"
Talisman of life and death?!
When Feng Qingge heard this, she couldn't help but look at Xue Xichen in surprise.
There are rumors in the world that Tang Kun, the master of Tangjiabao, has loved collecting hidden weapons throughout his life. His family has collected tens of thousands of hidden weapons, but among them, there is only one missing, the supreme hidden weapon in the world - the Talisman of Life and Death! Tang Kun has spent decades collecting hidden weapons.
Ten thousand and eighty sects in the seven countries were searching for a life and death talisman, but ultimately came back in vain. He warned the world that anyone who could deliver a life and death talisman would be a distinguished guest of the Tang clan for generations to come.
Today, Xue Xichen actually presented her with the life and death talisman. No wonder Tang Kun immediately received her!
Xue Xichen apologized: "Master Tangbao, please forgive me for not being able to reveal the source of the life and death talisman."
Jianghu people have their own rules, and Tang Kun naturally understands them. He nodded and asked no more questions. He put down the rosewood box and said, "Such a great gift, Tang Kun deserves it! Listen to what Asan said about the two of you.
I have something important to ask of you, but I don’t know what it is?”
Xue Xichen and Feng Qingge looked at each other, and Xue Xichen nodded towards Feng Qingge. Feng Qingge cupped her hands and said, "Master Tang Bao, I am taking the liberty to visit you. Do you want to ask Master Tang Bao about a kind of herbal medicine?"
"Herbal medicine?" Tang Kun laughed, "Young Master, are you looking in the wrong place? Our Tangjiabao is famous for its hidden weapons, but it is not herbal medicine!"
Feng Qingge said: "Master Tangbao, we would like to ask you about a poisonous weed."
Xue Xichen added, "Master Tangbao, in addition to hidden weapons, the Tang Sect is also good at using poisons. I believe you must know something about poisonous weeds. Excuse me, do you know about Cangriformis?"
"Cangjita?" Tang Kun pondered, "But the king of poisonous weeds?"
Xue Xichen was delighted when he heard this, "Master Tangbao really knows!"
Tang Kun nodded, "Although Cangriformis is the king of poisonous weeds, it is extremely rare, so the Tang Sect rarely uses it to make poison. Is the purpose of your trip here to find Cangriformis?"
"Yes! We urgently need Cangriformis to treat a friend!" Feng Qingge said eagerly, "I wonder if Tangjiabao has Cangrifacifolia? Is Lord Tangbao willing to endure the pain and give up his love?!"
"..."
Tang Kun pondered deeply, and seemed to have an unspeakable secret. Xue Xichen observed carefully and concluded that there was indeed Cangriformis in Tangjiabao, but because it was extremely precious, Tang Kun was unwilling to bear the pain of giving up his love. Thoughts turned over and over again, Xue Xichen quietly
Pulling on the corner of Feng Qingge's clothes, she smiled at Tang Kun under Feng Qingge's puzzled eyes, "Master Tangbao, don't be embarrassed! Although we can't find Cangxiongcao, we can get a glimpse of Master Tangbao.
It's an honor. It's getting late now. If Lord Tangbao doesn't mind, could you allow us to stay overnight in Tangjiabao?"
