Ji Lianyan's words actually gave Tang Yin the idea that maybe he should go to Laiyang and see this big gathering of Fengren Rangers with his own eyes.
Tang Yin finally assigned five Lingwu masters to Zhang Dong. Of these five, three were from Lingwu Academy, one was from Duwei Yingying, and the other was from Dark Arrow. All five of them were outstanding Lingwu wizards, not only
He has profound cultivation and superb fighting skills, making him the best among the best.
Zhang Dong was very satisfied with the five masters sent by Tang Yin. He took the five people with him and left Yancheng with great satisfaction and went to Laiyang for an appointment. Shortly after Zhang Dong left, Tang Yin was also preparing to leave the capital for Laiyang. He found Qiu Zhenhe
Shangguan and Yuanji explained their movements to them and entrusted them with the affairs of the DPRK and China.
Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji both expressed opposition to Tang Yin's trip. First, there were too many spiritual cultivators at the Ranger gathering. What if an accident happened? Second, Shao Fang would arrive in Yancheng at the end of the month. If Tang Yin couldn't make it back,
, that would be too rude.
Tang Yin had long expected that the two of them would say this, and had already thought of a response. He smiled and said: "I am just watching this trip as a bystander. I will not intervene or reveal my identity. There is no chance of any accidents."
As for the meeting with Shao Fang, it won't be delayed. Laiyang is not far from Yancheng, only three days away by horseback, so you two don't have to worry anymore."
Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji looked at each other, and the latter asked: "I wonder who the king is going to take with him on this trip?"
"How are Jiang Fan and Cheng Jin?" Tang Yin asked with a smile.
"Very good, very good!" Shangguan Yuanji nodded and said no more. Jiang Fan and Cheng Jin are both masters of dark spiritual martial arts. With them by Tang Yin's side, Shangguan Yuanji can really feel at ease.
After leaving Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen specially found Lei Zhen and asked him to secretly mobilize the elites of the Duwei camp and disguise themselves as rangers to protect Tang Yin secretly. The Duwei camp belonged directly to Tang Yin and was not under Qiu Zhen's control, but Lei Zhen felt that
What he said made sense, so he nodded in agreement.
Three days later, Tang Yin put on his casual clothes and quietly left the palace for Laiyang with only Jiang Fan, Cheng Jin, Shangguan brothers, Asan and Forty-Six people without any extra entourage.
Lingnan County is close to Yancheng. Although Laiyang is located in the west of Lingnan County, it is only six to seven hundred miles away from Yancheng. If you drive day and night, you can reach it in two days.
Because there were still several days until the middle of the month, Tang Yin and his party were not in a hurry. They walked slowly and looked at the scenery along the way. Tang Yin was the monarch of the Feng Kingdom, but he rarely had the opportunity to go out for fun like now.
It's a pity, or even that I have never done so before. This time I just took this opportunity to appreciate the magnificent rivers and mountains of Feng Country.
Feng Country is full of mountains, jungles, rivers, beautiful scenery, and picturesque landscapes. But what makes Tang Yin deeply regretful and disappointing is that there are too many tourists along the way, and a large part of them are rangers. Their destination
Like Tang Yin, both are Laiyang.
Looking at the endless crowd around him, Tang Yin sighed secretly and whispered to Jiang Fan and others beside him: "It seems that this gathering of Fengren Rangers is quite noisy!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cheng Jin said: "Any Feng Ren Ranger gang, regardless of its size or strength, will basically receive invitations sooner or later when it is established."
Tang Yin smiled bitterly and said: "With such a scale, Nifengliu must have heard about it a long time ago. I wonder if Nifengliu will suddenly come in and cause trouble during the party." After a pause, he asked Brother Shangguan again: "The direct army has already
Have you arrived in Laiyang?"
After receiving Ji Lianyan's warning, Tang Yin basically gave up the decision to use force to annihilate the Ranger gang, but that did not mean that he gave up the threat of force. Once the results were unsatisfactory, Tang Yin still wanted to mobilize the army, even if he did not use force, and he would not attack.
, and all the Ranger gangs are required to submit obediently.
"Reporting to the... Young Master, six regiments of the direct army have arrived near Laiyang. Three of them are stationed in Suwan Town, and the other three are stationed in Yaoju Town. These two towns are one to the south and one to the north of the Ranger Assembly Area.
, as long as the king gives an order, and the troops from both towns are mobilized, they can arrive within half an hour." Shangguan Yuanwu reported back to Tang Yin the information he received.
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded and didn't ask any more questions about this matter.
By noon that day, the sun was shining brightly, making Tang Yin and others sweaty. When Tang Yin was looking for a shady place to rest, he saw a tea shed on the roadside in front of him. He signaled to Jiang Fan and others.
He spurred his horse and ran over.
Tang Yin and his party arrived at the tea shed and lowered their heads to look inside. Well, this tea shed with no village or shop, a small size and a shabby environment was already overcrowded. Not only were there people sitting around a few tables, but also
There were even people sitting on the ground between the tables. Many tourists who couldn't squeeze in even sat outside with tea bowls, drinking tea and chewing dry food.
Seeing such a scene, Tang Yin didn't even get off his horse and felt it was better to continue on his way.
The Shangguan brothers looked at each other and dismounted. Yuan Wu and Yuan Biao handed the reins to Ah San and Ah Si, and then walked into the teahouse.
On weekdays, the business in the tea shed is pitiful. There is only the proprietress, and there are no assistants in the shop. Now, the proprietress is busy alone. When she sees Brother Shangguan approaching, she doesn't even have time to say hello and keeps pouring tea.
Serving tea and collecting money, I was very busy.
Brother Shangguan took a few glances at the proprietress who was pouring tea at the counter. She was in her thirties and could not be said to be very beautiful, but she could be said to have a delicate appearance and a particularly charming appearance. Shangguan Yuanwu knocked on the counter and spoke first.
He said: "Madam boss, there are seven of us, help us arrange an empty table and make two pots of the best tea in your store."
"I said you are blind!" The landlady said while pouring tea without even raising her head: "Didn't you see that everyone is full now, how can there be an empty table for you? You can go find it yourself and sit down if there is space!
"
Shangguan Yuanbiao raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry when Shangguan Yuanwu took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, slapped it on the counter and said, "We only want empty tables."
Hearing that the other party didn't sound like he was here to drink tea, but more like he was here to cause trouble, the proprietress finally put down the kettle in her hand and looked up at the Shangguan brothers outside the counter. When she saw the broken silver on the table, she suddenly
I was stunned. Tea is sold for copper coins. When have you ever seen silver?
The proprietress suddenly showed her true nature as a businesswoman, her face changed as if she were flipping through a book. She scratched her hand on the counter, and the money on it was immediately rolled into her sleeve. The impatience on her face was wiped away, replaced by a flattering smile. She
He hurriedly walked around the counter, looked at the Shangguan brothers with a smile, then looked at Tang Yin and others waiting outside, and said repeatedly
"Okay, okay, aren't you just looking for an empty table? Leave it to me!" As she spoke, she looked around the booth. Finally, her eyes fell on a group of young people in rough clothes and linen trousers. She twisted her waist and walked quickly.
He walked over, waved his hand as if to shoo away flies, and said: "Go, go, drink outside, someone has ordered it here!"
These young people had puzzled faces. How could anyone book a table in a shabby tea shed? This was unheard of and unseen. One of the white-faced young men said politely: "Madam boss, we haven't finished our tea yet, how can you drive us out?"
"
The boss lady was straightforward. She took out the broken silver from her sleeves and put it on the table. The old man said: "If you can afford so much money, then you can continue to sit here, and I will go find it again."
If others can't get it out, get out immediately!"
It was just for a cup of tea, and it wasn’t high-quality tea. Who would be willing to spend so much money? One of the young men stood up and pointed at the boss’s nose and yelled: “You fucking…”
The landlady didn't take his anger seriously at all. Instead of being intimidated, she stepped forward with her proud chest raised and asked domineeringly: "What? Do you still dare to hit someone?"
"I……"
Before the young man could speak again, the white-faced young man pulled his companion and said helplessly: "Forget it, since someone is willing to spend a lot of money to drink tea, let's give the place to him!" As he spoke, he quickly put the bowl away.
He drank up his tea, then raised his head to his companions on the left and right, stood up, and walked out.
It can be seen that all the young people are following him and they are dissatisfied and dissatisfied, but they have no choice but to follow him out. When they pass by the landlady, the latter reaches out to stop them and says in a bad tone: "Drink up.
Don’t you have to pay for tea?”
Everyone was so angry that they almost turned green when they heard this, but the white-faced young man smiled disapprovingly and said with an apology in his tone: "I'm sorry, we were negligent."
He reached into his arms, took out his money bag, poured it out for a long time before pouring out a few coins, and counted them carefully. When he was calculating whether he had enough to pay the bill, the landlady grabbed it impatiently and looked down with contempt on her face.
With a smile on his face, he curled his lips and said, "You're still two coppers short? I say, don't even think about defaulting on your account. My shop doesn't accept credit!"
The white-faced young man turned red and looked at his companions with questioning eyes. The young men began to touch their arms to see if there were any copper coins.
Tang Yin, who was waiting outside, became more and more interesting as he watched. Although he didn't get close, he could clearly feel that these young people were spiritual cultivators. He didn't know what their specific cultivation level was, but through the spiritual energy emanating from them,
You can feel the pressure, and your cultivation level is not bad, but it is not easy for such a group of young men with strong blood and strong martial arts to be bullied to such an extent by the boss's wife. In Tang Yin's opinion, it is not easy.
Even though they are powerful spiritual practitioners, they are still poor people whose pockets are cleaner than their faces.
Several young people rummaged for a long time, but they couldn't find a copper plate. One of them accidentally dropped a token in his arms to the ground while searching for the copper plate. The young man's reaction was also quick, and he immediately lowered his body to pick up the token.
He stood up and quickly put it into his arms, but this short one or two seconds was enough for the surrounding tea guests to see the token clearly. At the same time, there was a sound of inhalation coming from around him.
