Main Volume Chapter 338: These two girls are pretty good. Tang Ning looked at Butcher Zheng and asked in surprise, "You want to go to Chu State with me?"
One of the things that worries him the most is that he will go to Chu State without any decent experts to protect him. Although the marriage is of great importance and there will be many escorts accompanying him, in special circumstances, he still needs to have a reliable bodyguard by his side.
Butcher Zheng is not as powerful as the old beggar, but with the butcher knife in his waist, he is definitely qualified for this position.
But the question is, why did he do this, just because he saved Nannan?
Although this reason may make sense, it obviously does not convince Tangning.
Butcher Zheng explained: "I have some things to do when I go to Chu State this time, and I happen to be traveling with you. During this period, I will ask you to take care of me."
Although he didn't know what he had to do when he went to Chu State, having such an expert accompanying him relieved Tang Ning from most of his worries, so she naturally wouldn't refuse.
The little girl had been ill for a long time and was weak. Tang Ning arranged for them to stay at the house first. There was still nearly a month before the departure. By then, Nannan should have recovered enough, and Butcher Zheng could leave with peace of mind.
During this time, he still had many things to arrange.
The palace has set a time limit. Within five days, the Ministry of Etiquette must set all the rules. Although it is somewhat different from what Tang Ning expected, the new female official in Changning Palace is easy to talk to. As a wedding messenger, he will be in and out of Changning Palace during this period.
, even if there is no suitable reason, there will be no obstruction.
In Changning Palace, Zhao Man looked at him expectantly and asked: "When are we leaving..."
In the past, she was obviously unhappy and almost depressed because of the marriage. However, since Tang Ning served as the wedding messenger, she actually started to look forward to it.
Tangning looked at her and asked, "Is everything going well in the palace? Why are you leaving in such a hurry? It will be a tiring journey and it won't be as relaxing as it is now."
Zhao Man held her chin in her hands and said, "After we set off, I can be with you all the time. It would be great if I could walk on the road for a lifetime..."
The little girl was so naive when thinking about problems. Tangning didn't want to waste his whole life on the road. He still had a lot of things to do in his life.
After staying with her in Changning Palace for a while, Tang Ning walked out of the palace. Instead of going home, she came to the North District of the capital accompanied by Butcher Zheng.
Most of the people living in the North District are poor people. It is the poorest and most chaotic place in the capital. Tang Ning bought a large piece of land here at a very cheap price and built many houses.
This is the location of the headquarters of the Beggar Clan's capital. I dare not say 10%, but nearly 90% of the beggars in the vicinity of the capital are recruited by Liu Laoer. In addition to begging, they also work as shop assistants and collect information.
When Tang Ning walked into the courtyard, someone came forward to report. Liu Laoer quickly walked out of the house and said hurriedly: "The gang leader is here, what are your orders?"
The beggar gang here is not like the legendary beggar gang, which is the largest sect in the world, powerful and powerful, and no one dares to mess with it. But fortunately, they have many people, special professions, and are unobtrusive. They can often do things that others cannot.
things to come.
Tang Ning needs Liu Laoer to arrange for some people to keep an eye on the Tang family and the powerful people he has dealt with to prevent them from doing something outrageous in a moment of enthusiasm.
Liu Laoer nodded and said: "Don't worry, Gang Leader, I will definitely take care of this matter!"
He thought for a while, then looked at Tang Ning and said, "The gang leader has a long way to go, why don't you bring some brothers from the gang with you so that you can take care of him?"
Tang Ning nodded. As a wedding messenger, he could bring twenty followers. He also needed some of his own people along the way.
Liu Laoer looked to the side and ordered a disciple: "Select twenty core disciples to come out and wait for the leader's orders along the way."
The core disciples of the Beggar Gang do more than just beg for food. The old beggar taught them some formations and basic martial arts. More than a year later, these disciples also have some skills. It may not be possible to fight alone, but if ten or twenty gather together
Together, it would be difficult for ordinary martial arts masters to escape.
After arranging the affairs of the Beggar Clan, Tangning went to Tiantianju again.
He pushed open Su Mei's courtyard door and saw Tang Shui sitting at the stone table in the courtyard.
In order not to attract attention, he made an appointment with Princess Anyang through Zhao Man, and then made an appointment with her through Princess Anyang in a roundabout way.
What Tang Ning was most worried about was what kind of tricks the Tang family would do after he left. Having Liu Laoer send people to keep an eye on it was not enough. If Tang Shui could be captured or defeated, it would be double insurance.
Tang Ning walked up to her and said, "I will be the wedding messenger this time and accompany the princess to the Kingdom of Chu."
Tang Shui nodded and said, "I know."
"It may take a long time to come back after I go out this time." Tang Ning looked at her and said, "If the Tang family does anything after I leave, you... cousin, can you come here and tell Miss Su?"
He would not make it difficult for her to deal with the Tang family. Just passing the news to Su Mei was enough for her to make preparations in advance.
"Okay." Tang Shui replied simply.
"Thank you, cousin."
"You're welcome. I'm here in the capital, so you don't have to worry. You have to be careful when you're outside."
Su Mei walked out of the room. Tang Shui glanced at her and said to Tang Ning, "I'm going to talk to my sister-in-law."
Because she has to come here often, she is no longer as tit-for-tat with Su Mei as before, but the two of them are not really friends. Perhaps it is a certain nature of women. Whether it is Tang Shui, Tang Yaoyao or Zhao Man, they are not as close to each other as they were before.
Su Mei, whose figure, appearance and temperament are among the best among women, has a natural resistance.
Su Mei sat on the swing, swaying from time to time, sighed, and said: "It will be at least half a year before I can get a good night's sleep."
Her sleep is actually much better than at the beginning. She can fall asleep holding a doll, but it is just that it is difficult to enter a deep sleep.
Tangning looked at her and suggested, "I recently prepared a medicine that can make people sleep for several hours. It may cause dizziness and nausea as side effects. Do you want to try it?"
"Forget it..."
Su Mei looked at him as if he was that kind of medicine, so Tang Ning had no choice but to give up that thought.
Su Mei sighed leisurely, and then said: "Put away the things I gave you, and use them for self-protection in critical moments. Your trip to Chu State this time was not as smooth as you imagined. Regardless of the situation along the way.
Not to mention the countless green forest bandits, you may also encounter considerable resistance after arriving in Chu State... No matter what happens, you must remember that saving your life is important."
When she first came here, Tangning was still desperately thinking about returning to her original world. Now, these thoughts have gradually faded away.
Rather than being a loner without family or friends in another world, he prefers this place with family and friends.
Whether it was Tang Shui or Su Mei, this feeling of being truly cared for by someone was something he could not experience in another world.
"You must take care of yourself." Su Mei looked at him and warned seriously: "If something happens to you, where can I find such good medicine..."
Tang Ning's finally moved emotion was interrupted by her. She was worried that Lao Zheng had been waiting outside for a long time. When Tang Shui came out of the backyard, he went out with her.
Su Mei sent them out of the courtyard. When the three of them walked out, Butcher Zheng, who was leaning on a tree by the lake, clapped his hands and walked over to this side.
At a certain moment, Tang Shui and Su Mei's expressions suddenly changed, and their expressions became extremely nervous.
"you go first."
Seeing the person in front of him striding forward, Su Mei and Tang Shui appeared in front of him on the left and right, and said in unison.
Butcher Zheng continued to walk towards this side, feeling the pressure coming from the front. Su Mei lightly touched her hand on her waist, and a soft sword appeared in her hand.
"Take him away." Su Mei glanced at Tang Shui, and then looked intently at Butcher Zheng who was walking over.
"Be careful." Tang Shui glanced at Su Mei, grabbed Tang Ning's wrist, and whispered, "Let's go!"
"What are you doing?" Tangning looked at them in surprise and said, "Don't be nervous, we are on our own..."
Butcher Zheng walked over, looked at Su Mei, then at Tang Shui, and finally at Tang Ning, and said, "These two girls are pretty good."
