The man was about thirty years old. The girl in his arms had a pale face, and the butcher knife in his hand shone with a cold light.
"How dare you commit murder in broad daylight on the streets of the capital!"
A pharmacy clerk led a group of government servants over and quickly unsheathed his sword, pointed at him from a distance, and shouted: "If you don't put down your weapons quickly, we will arrest you without mercy!"
The big man looked calm and picked up the butcher knife in his hand.
"How dare you resist arrest!" The policeman's expression changed and he waved his hand: "Get him!"
"Wait!"
Tang Ning quickly walked out of the crowd, her father-in-law's county government staff were not powerful enough for Butcher Zheng to cut him with a few knives.
The detective looked back at him and said in surprise: "Sir, this..."
"Put away your weapons." Tang Ning stepped forward, looked at the girl in Butcher Zheng's arms, and asked, "What's wrong with Nannan?"
…
Tang Mansion.
Imperial Physician Cheng Ling Yihong and Imperial Physician Chen Ling were both summoned by Tang Ning. Imperial Physician Chen withdrew his fingers from the girl's wrist on the bed, stroked his beard, and said, "If it stays a few more days, it will be difficult even if the gods come."
save."
Tang Ning took out a small box from the cabinet and said, "I also have a Big Return Pill here. Is it useful?"
Doctor Chen took the box, looked at it, and exclaimed: "I have long heard that Sun's Great Return Pill is a magical elixir that conquers the world. However, Doctor Sun's whereabouts are elusive and it is rare to see one. I didn't expect Master Tang to have one here.
"
After saying that, he handed it back to Tang Ning and said, "It's not enough to make up for it. This Great Return Pill will do more harm than good to her. Master Tang, please put it away. I will prescribe some milder medicine for this little girl."
She nursed back to health slowly..."
After Ling Yihong and Doctor Chen left, Fang Xinyue and Tang Yaoyao gathered around them. In Lingzhou, when Butcher Zheng was busy, a little girl named Nannan would often hang around behind them.
Tang Ning looked at Butcher Zheng and asked, "Senior, why are you here?"
"Half a month ago, Nannan fell ill and the doctors in Lingzhou couldn't cure her. I thought there were many miracle doctors in the capital, so I closed the shop and brought her to the capital to have a look."
"Don't call me senior, just call me Lao Zheng." Butcher Zheng dropped a large bundle on his back on the ground. Tangning only heard a ping-ping-pong-pong sound as the bundle fell apart, revealing a pile of gold.
Silver jewelry.
Tangning looked at the thing on the ground and said in surprise, "This is..."
Butcher Zheng waved his hand and said, "On the way here, I picked up a few bandit dens to collect money for medicine."
The bandits on the road from Lingzhou to the capital also had bad luck for eight lifetimes, and they encountered such an unreasonable person.
Today, Tang Ning has a clear understanding of the strength of warriors in this world, and she also understands more clearly how powerful Zheng Butcher's sword was.
If we use the metaphor of the three mountains that he is currently unable to climb, the gap between Tang Yaoyao and Zheng Tufu is still several times short of Su Mei and Li Tianlan.
Butcher Zheng looked at him and said, "Thanks to you this time..."
Tangning waved her hand and said, "It's a small effort. Besides, my daughter has called me brother a few times. Of course I can't leave her alone."
No matter how advanced your martial arts skills are, there is nothing you can do about life, old age, illness and death. In comparison, the old beggar is a good role model. Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, he also knows fortune-telling and the art of poison.
Judging from Yu's experience, he seems to have considerable attainments in medical skills. He is truly a walking encyclopedia because of his many skills.
"Hey, when did you come, pig butcher?" As soon as Tang Ning finished speaking, he poked his head out of the door, looked at Butcher Zheng, and said in surprise, "Come here and drink with me..."
Tang Yaoyao and Xiao Ru were accompanying their daughter in the room. The old beggar and Butcher Zheng were squatting in the yard, drinking and eating meat. Tang Ning was sitting in the pavilion, continuing to think about what had just happened.
Fang Xiaopang's father reminded him that for this risky matter, no amount of thorough preparation is too much.
Now that the departure date is only one month at most, he should make preparations early.
Xiaoxiao stood in the yard, looking at Tang Ning who was meditating. After thinking for a while, he walked to the corner, looked at the old beggar, and whispered, "Master."
The old beggar looked at her, a smile immediately appeared on his face, pointed at her, and introduced to Butcher Zheng: "This is my new disciple, how about it?"
Butcher Zheng looked at her, nodded and said, "Not bad."
"What does it mean to be good?" The old beggar frowned and said: "My disciple has extremely good bones. He is rare in a hundred years. He can surpass you in ten years at most. In another twenty years, it is not a problem to surpass me..."
Xiaoxiao looked at him and whispered: "Master, I have something to say to you."
The old beggar looked at her, then at Butcher Zheng, kicked him away, and said, "Didn't you hear my disciple say you have something to say to me? Stay away..."
After saying that, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiaoxiao and said, "My good disciple, tell me what's going on."
Xiaoxiao clenched his sleeves and said: "Brother will go far and far this time. It will take a long time to come back. I don't know what dangers I will encounter. I want Master to protect my brother."
"That kid is as smart as a ghost, how can he put himself in danger..." The old beggar frowned and said, "I still want to teach you martial arts..."
Xiaoxiao clenched his fists and said, "But my brother has to go for so long. What if I meet a bad person? I, I want to go with my brother."
"Okay, okay..." the old beggar said quickly: "Just stay at home and master will go."
He sighed and said: "What's so good about that boy? Why is my good disciple so good to him..."
In the pavilion, Tang Ning looked at the old beggar and asked in surprise: "You want to go with me?"
"What do you think I want?" The old beggar glanced at him and said, "If I don't go, what if my good disciple no longer wants to be my disciple? Where can I find such a good seedling?
"
"No." Tangning refused without thinking.
Although if the old beggar goes with him, he can avoid a lot of worries and his safety is guaranteed, but what about the family?
The Tang family and Prince Duan were eyeing the capital, and Tang Ning had been away for at least half a year. How could he rest assured that Xiao Ru and Xiao Yi would live in the capital without any guarantee?
With the old beggar at home guarding the rear, he could leave with peace of mind. Apart from him, he wouldn't be at ease with anyone else, so Tang Ning didn't think about letting him go with her from the beginning.
"If I don't go, with your three-legged cat skills, if something happens outside, how can I explain it to my good disciple?" The old beggar frowned and said: "I'll be here in a while.
Where can I find a satisfactory bodyguard for you? Your Chen country has several powerful sect leaders with fairly good martial arts skills. It would be easy to capture them, but the distance is too far..."
He glanced away inadvertently and saw Butcher Zheng picking up his wine gourd and drinking heavily.
Seeing that the wine in the gourd was almost gone, his expression changed, his body flashed, and he appeared in the courtyard, shouting: "Shut up!"
The old beggar snatched the gourd from Butcher Zheng's hand. The mouth of the gourd was downward, and only the last drop of clear wine fell on the ground.
He took a deep breath, smiled on his face, and said, "Pig butcher, have you ever heard the story of the knotted grass?"
Butcher Zheng shook his head and said, "No."
The old beggar was startled and asked: "How about reciprocating a favor?"
"No."
“Have you ever heard of a thousand pieces of gold and a meal?”
"nor."
The old beggar looked at him and said angrily: "Have you ever read a book?"
Butcher Zheng shook his head: "No."
The old beggar took a deep breath and said, "A drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. You must have heard this, right?"
"I heard it." Butcher Zheng finally nodded.
The old beggar breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Look, we people in the world, walking in the world, only rely on the word "righteousness" to repay kindness and revenge. Even if it is a drop of kindness, we should repay it with a spring...
"
Butcher Zheng looked at him and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"Look, if it hadn't been for Mr. Tang, your precious daughter would have been lost. This can be regarded as a life-saving grace. You must repay this kindness." The old beggar smacked his lips and said, "The lamb kneels down to breastfeed, and the crow feeds back.
Even beasts know how to repay kindness. Now that Mr. Tang is in trouble, if you don't help, wouldn't you be worse than a beast?"
Butcher Zheng looked at him and said: "The lamb kneels down to its mother, and the bird feeds back to its mother. Your allusion is wrong."
The old beggar said angrily: "I am discussing the use of allusions with you, right?"
"But your allusion is just wrong."
"Have you never read the book?"
"You can't lie to me even if I haven't read the book."
Snapped!
The old beggar threw the wine gourd on the ground, looked at Butcher Zheng, and said viciously: "You just drank all my wine, can you tell me how to settle this account?"
