Of course these two girls are good, one is his god-cousin and the other is his god-sister. Although they are not relatives, they can be relied on at critical moments.
There was a misunderstanding, and after Tang Ning explained it clearly, Su Mei pulled him aside and asked, "Where did you recruit such a master?"
Tangning looked at her and asked, "Is it very tall?"
Su Mei said solemnly: "Very high."
"How high?"
"Tang Shui and I combined are no match for him." Su Mei looked at Butcher Zheng on the side and said: "The evil spirit on his body is very strong and cannot be concealed. Such a person must have countless evil spirits on his hands.
life, I thought he was going to do something bad to you."
Lao Zheng has been killing pigs all his life. It is impossible not to have evil spirits on his body. He also has countless lives on his hands, but they are not human lives, but pig lives.
Tang Ning looked at Su Mei and asked, "If I can't defeat him, why are you still letting me go?"
Su Mei rolled her eyes at him: "Nonsense, you are my brother, if I don't save you, who will I save?"
Yang Guifei looked back with a charming smile, the pink and white of the Sixth Palace were colorless, and the white eyes of Su Hu were equally charming, which made people excited.
Tang Ning looked at Butcher Zheng and explained, "Old Zheng is our former neighbor in Lingzhou, a pig butcher, and he wants to go to Chu with me this time."
Su Mei was obviously relieved and said: "Having him by your side is enough to deal with most accidents, but are you sure he won't do anything bad to you?"
"He has saved my life before." Tangning smiled and said, "If I had wanted to take action, I would have done it long ago."
"I'm relieved now." Su Mei looked at him and said, "You go, I will take good care of my mother."
"We won't leave until the beginning of next month, so we'll talk about it then." Tangning looked at her and said, "I will be here to accompany you more during the period before leaving."
Su Mei glanced at him and said with satisfaction: "You have a conscience."
Tang Ning said goodbye to Tang Shui at the entrance of Tiantianju, and then went back with Lao Zheng.
In the small courtyard, Su Mei put down the soft sword in her hand, her palms full of sweat.
An old woman came from the backyard, looked at the soft sword she put on the table, and said in surprise: "What's wrong, have you encountered a strong enemy?"
"A misunderstanding." Su Mei shook her head and murmured: "How can a pig butcher have such a heavy evil spirit on his body?"
The old woman frowned and said, "What kind of pig-killer?"
After a while, after listening to her description, the old woman frowned and said: "Even if he kills pigs for a lifetime, he will not make your hair stand up at a glance. This man is definitely a human slaughterer who was killed from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood."
, Otherwise, a master like him would have been able to restrain his aura long ago, how could he be noticed by you so easily?"
She looked at Su Mei and said: "The world is very big. Where you are standing now is still far from the top. Don't underestimate the people of the world..."
…
Su Mei said that Butcher Zheng had a strong evil aura, but Tang Ning didn't notice anything. Instead, she felt that he was quite kind, but because of his tall stature, standing there would give people a sense of oppression.
After returning home, Qing'er told him that Xiao Jue had been waiting in the hall for a long time.
Tangning walked in and found several large boxes placed in the hall. He opened one and saw all kinds of gold and silver jewelry piled together inside. He looked at Xiao Jue and asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"
Xiao Jue said: "A gift for you."
"If you have something to ask me for, just say it directly. Do you need this between us? You are so unreasonable..." Tangning looked at him, waved her hand and said, "Qing'er
, hurry up and get these things carried to the warehouse."
"This is what King Kang sent to you." Xiao Jue said, "I just sent it here for him."
Tangning glanced at him and asked, "Why did Prince Kang give me these for no reason?"
Xiao Jue shrugged: "That's what I have to ask you."
That stingy King Kang, the things he gave this time were much more valuable than before. Of course, it was impossible to give him a New Year's gift ten months in advance. When he went to Chu State this time, in addition to sending a wedding, he also shouldered the important task of proposing for a bride.
King Kang was blushing when he argued with King Duan about this matter in the main hall, indicating that he was determined to win.
Directly asking people to come over to give him gifts was clearly a bribe. King Kang was not that stupid, so it was not unusual to give him gifts through Xiao Jue in a roundabout way.
As the envoy to present the wedding and the envoy to propose marriage, he was responsible for all matters during the trip. He also negotiated with the Chu State officials, so there was a lot of room for secret operations.
But neither King Kang nor King Duan have anything to do. Miss Li is not on the same level as the two of them at all, but these gifts still have to be accepted, and moving them around is not easy.
"Your Majesty actually asked that kid Lu Teng to serve as the deputy wedding envoy." Xiao Jue raised his head and took a sip of tea, and said angrily: "Can that guy be so stubborn and stubborn, can he take on such an important task?"
This time when I went to Chu State, in addition to Tang Ning, the wedding envoy, there were also two deputy envoys. One of them was Lu Teng, the son of the Minister of War, who had a little quarrel with Tang Ning.
To be more precise, Tang Ning had a little feud with him. Last year, he was beaten up by Tang Shui and kicked away by Tang Yaoyao. For a long time, he was the laughing stock of the capital.
Lu Teng is a military official, and this time he serves as the deputy envoy for the wedding ceremony. He is in charge of eight hundred guards and is responsible for the safety of this trip.
There is also a deputy envoy who seems to be an official from Honglu Temple, but Tang Ning is not familiar with it.
In addition, there was also an accompanying delegation, probably less than ten people in number.
Xiao Jue's tone of voice was a little sour. Tangning looked at him and asked, "Do you want to go?"
"What's the point of patrolling the palace all day?" Xiao Jue said with some regret: "Finally, I had the opportunity to leave the capital, but that kid Lu Teng beat me to it..."
Tang Ning was quite satisfied with Huang Chen's arrangement. He was really unsure about entrusting the safety of so many people to Xiao Jue.
"I don't care, but you are different." Xiao Jue suddenly looked at him and said: "The two deputy envoys this time, one is Lu Teng, who has a grudge against you, and the other is Honglu Si Cheng.
This person belongs to King Duan, so you must be more careful along the way."
Although Tang Ning had not dealt with Lu Teng a few times, he was a stubborn person who did not hold grudges. The last time he was kicked away by Tang Yaoyao, he actually came to apologize. Tang Ning was not worried that he would be on the road.
What hands and feet are you doing?
On the other hand, Tang Ning was not very familiar with the Honglu Temple Prime Minister. Since he was a member of Prince Duan, he probably would have caused trouble for him on the way there. If he was really too annoying, he asked Old Zheng to make arrangements for him.
There are so many dangers on the road, and it is very possible for the deputy envoy to be sent back due to diarrhea, broken legs, poisoning and coma.
"A sneeze! A sneeze! A sneeze!"
In a private room of a restaurant somewhere in Beijing, a middle-aged man covered his mouth and sneezed several times.
Liu Feng put down his wine glass, looked at him, and asked: "Master He, are you feeling unwell?"
The middle-aged man rubbed his nose and said, "It's okay, maybe it's because I wore too thin clothes today."
Liu Feng looked at him and said in surprise: "The weather has been good recently, and Mr. He's clothes are not too thin."
Someone next to the middle-aged man said: "It's a long way to go to the Chu Kingdom. The horses and carriages are very tiring on this journey. Mr. He has a heavy responsibility. Please take care of yourself and don't fall ill before setting off."
The middle-aged man nodded and said: "I will buy an extra piece of clothing when I get back. Don't worry, sir, I will not delay His Royal Highness Duan Wang's important event."
Liu Feng nodded and added: "Most of the envoys accompanying this time are our people, but you still have to be careful about Tang Ning, the wedding messenger. If my prediction is correct, he will definitely be the one to propose marriage."
Will you favor Prince Kang, Lord He? Along the way, you have to try to win over Deputy Envoy Lu. As for Tangning, if possible..."
He looked at the middle-aged man, did not speak again, and just made a slight gesture.
The middle-aged man looked at him, nodded solemnly, and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, this trip is very dangerous, anything can happen..."
