Chapter 193 Pudong Shuangjie, Guan Sheng and Hao Siwen
Although the relationship between Xiao Tang and Tang Pengxiu has progressed by leaps and bounds, and now everyone in the Xiao family, including Su Jinniang and other female relatives, are willing to accept Tang Pengxiu, but when it comes to marriage, they still have to wait until Xiao Tang comes to propose to them.
Tang Pengxiu's parents mentioned that seeing that Xiao Tang was about to be transferred to the west of Beijing, they had to be prepared to propose marriage to Tang Pengxiu's parents when possible.
"Brother Xiao Tang..." Tang Pengxiu shyly said to Xiao Tang. Since the two of them made their relationship clear, she has become a bit more shy when getting along with Xiao Tang, but she is not as lively and smart as before: "
This time you are going to Nanjing to appease the envoy, how about I go with you?"
Xiao Tang was slightly startled after hearing this, thinking that this trip to Jingnan would take several months. It was normal for officials to take their families with them when they were appointed. But after all, Tang Pengxiu had not yet married into the Xiao Mansion.
I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for the girl's family to travel with her like this.
Tang Pengxiu's idea is that she has a very good relationship with Xiao Tang's wife Su Jinniang and regards her as her closest sister. However, if she wants to marry into the Xiao Mansion, she subconsciously wants to get Su Jinniang, the queen mother of the Xiao Mansion.
Agreed. Besides, she and Xiao Tang had just revealed their feelings for each other not long ago, so how could she bear to wait for her lover to not return for several months?
Seeing Tang Pengxiu lowering his head and fidgeting with the corners of his clothes with both hands, Xiao Tang blinked and teased her, "What? Pengxiu is a good brother who can't let you go?"
Tang Pengxiu blushed and spat: "How can you be so boastful? I won't tell you anymore."
Because of Xiao Tang's teasing, Tang Peng's beautiful cheeks were filled with twinkling clouds, and he looked extraordinarily gentle, lovely, and pitiful. Xiao Tang felt pity in his heart and said, "But when you want to go to South Jing Road with me, won't your parents be worried about you?"
?”
Tang Pengxiu raised his head, looked straight at Xiao Tang with his big flashing eyes, and said: "My parents came to the capital to live in Taiyuan Hospital. Now they are busy going to Jinghu and Huainan to record and verify medicinal materials. How can they have time to take care of it?"
Me? I’m very bored even when I’m alone at home.”
Xiao Tang saw that Tang Pengxiu's mouth was flat and she was still trying to speak, and he really couldn't bear to brush off her kindness. He chuckled, lightly scratched Tang Pengxiu's nose, and said softly: "Of course you can talk to me.
I'm just afraid that your parents will find you not there when they come back, so don't think that I kidnapped you."
Tang Pengxiu's face turned red again due to Xiao Tang's intimate gestures, but her heart felt sweet. She said in a loud voice, "Oh... when will we leave?"
"It's almost time..." Xiao Tang straightened up and said leisurely: "Now that person should be in the capital soon."
At the same time, on the official road leading to Bianliang, Tokyo, there were more than a dozen burly men who were tired of their travels, riding horses in the spring scenery and approaching the capital.
"Brother! After several years of separation, we finally meet again!" The big man in the middle looked up and saw Xuan Zan riding a horse, beaming with joy, rushing straight towards him. Naturally, the man was in the Pudong Inspection Department.
Da Dao Guan Sheng, who was in charge, smiled slightly, stroking his beard and said, "Brother Xuanzan, are you okay? We haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you as a brother."
Xuan Zan was excited. When he rushed to Guan Sheng, he saw the man beside Guan Sheng smiling and said nothing, so he asked: "Brother, this is..."
Guan Sheng introduced: "This brother, whose surname is Hao and whose twin names are Siwen, is my sworn brother. His mother dreamed that Jingmuyan was reincarnated and became pregnant, so the world called him 'Jingmuyan' Hao Siwen. I
This brother is capable of all kinds of martial arts. He was dispatched by the imperial court, so he came to the capital with his brother to work together to serve the country."
Xuan Zan was delighted, clasped his fists to Hao Siwen and said, "Since he is my brother's sworn brother, he must be a good man!"
Hao Siwen clasped his fists and saluted Xuan Zan in return: "When I was in Pudong, I heard my brother talk about General Xuan many times. I am very pleased to finally see him today."
Guan Sheng expressed his gratitude to Xuan Zan again: "I was born in Hedong and dormant in Pudong. Although I have the heart to serve the country, I have served in the army for more than ten years but I only have a false reputation. Brother Xuanzan wholeheartedly supports me and calls me brother.
I can always show my strength and kindness, and my brother's kindness will always be remembered in my heart."
Xuan Zan grinned and sighed with emotion to Guan Sheng: "Although it was the younger brother who intended to recommend his brother to the superior, Xiao Renxia was also very happy when he heard about his brother's name. This matter is not just the younger brother's intention to encourage his elder brother to display his ambitions.
I also accepted Xiao Renxia's favor, so I wouldn't waste all my ********* victory just in front of the palace. I raised my eyebrows and said, "When I was in Hedong, I often heard about Ren Xia Xiao Tang.
He has a good reputation, but I didn’t expect that I would be promoted by him this time.”
"There are many extravagant heroes in Xiao Renxia's mansion. I will take my brother to pay him a visit." After saying this, Xuan Zan rode with Guan Sheng and Hao Siwen. After a while, Guan Sheng, Hao Siwen and the Guanxi Army
Under the guidance of this host, more than ten people from the Han Dynasty entered Bianliang, Tokyo and walked to Touxi Street where Xiao Tang's residence was located.
After the doorman notified Xiao Tang, he immediately rushed to the main room to meet Xuan Zan, Guan Sheng, and Hao Siwen. When Xiao Tang saw Guan Sheng, he saw that he was a dignified man with a body of eight feet five six feet and a three-tufted long beard.
, the eyebrows go into the temples, the phoenix eyes look up to the sky; the face is as heavy as a jujube, and the lips are as if painted with vermilion.
"I have heard for a long time about the reputation of Pudong Dadao Guan Sheng! He is indeed a well-groomed and well-behaved man! He is worthy of being the direct descendant of King Wu'an, the righteous and brave king of the late Han Dynasty!" When Xiao Tang sincerely praised Guan Sheng, he said in his heart that Dadao Guan Sheng is really good.
Determined to imitate his ancestor Guan Yu, the martial sage, he besieged Wei to rescue Zhao in the Water Margin, and first conquered Liangshan. When he led his troops to ambush Zhang Heng, the boatman on Liangshan, and Zhang Shun, who was dancing in the waves, he was also holding his mustache in his tent.
Bearded, sitting and reading the book of war, I imitated Guan Yu who stayed up late at night to read Zuo's biography of the Spring and Autumn Period.
However, the ability of this five-tiger general of the Liangshan Horse Army was not an act. He made the Qinglong Yanyue Sword kill countless enemy generals. He was also one of the few masters of swordsmanship. He really had some demeanor of the Martial Saint Guan Yunchang.
Guan Sheng had been relegated to a subordinate position and had no way to serve the country for a long time. He had long held back his breath to achieve some military exploits so as not to bury his own abilities. Seeing that Xiao Tang was determined to promote him, he clasped his fists and said loudly: "Guan is eating his salary."
After many years, it is time for me to serve the country with all my heart! After being promoted by the superior officials, I should work hard to eliminate the thieves and relieve the country's worries!"
Then Guan Sheng introduced Jing Muyan and Hao Siwen to Xiao Tang. Xiao Tang secretly said with gratitude: Guan Sheng, Xuan Zan, and Hao Siwen are indeed brothers of different surnames who share the same loyalty and try their best to help each other.
Xuan Zan was not reused in the Infantry Army Yamen in front of the palace, but he wanted to call Guan Sheng. However, he got an opportunity and took advantage of the wind. Although Guan Sheng was buried in the Pudong Inspection Department, he wanted to have a career, but he had no fame.
Hao Siwen looked for a way out.
Thinking of this section, Xiao Tang suddenly thought of someone again. He asked Guan Sheng: "I once heard that among General Guan's sworn brothers, there was an officer from Pudong named Tang Bin. This man was brave and upright, and he was also a righteous man. A well-known hero, where is this man now?"
After hearing this, Guan Sheng immediately showed hesitation and sighed: "My brother Tang Bin was praised as the 'iron lion' in the army. Although he devoted himself to serving the country, he was framed by powerful men and killed in anger. The enemy is urgently pursued by the government, and now I don’t know where to flee.”
It turns out that Tang Bin had already committed a murder and was in exile at this time... Xiao Tang thought to himself, according to the original trajectory, Tang Bin killed his enemy and went down from Pudong. He was originally going to surrender to Liangshan, but the road failed. When passing through Baodu Mountain, he fought with Wen Zhongrong, the strongman leader of the village, and Cui Ye, the mountain-moving warrior. Wen and Cui could not defeat him, so they invited Tang Bin to go up the mountain and make him the leader of the village. Later, Tian Hu invaded Huguan. , wanted Tang Bin to submit, but Tang Bin was unable to do so and reluctantly surrendered. Later, Guan Sheng met Tang Bin alone and persuaded Tang Bin, Wen Zhongrong, and Cui Ye to submit, and secretly made a secret promise to surrender to Song Jiang's conquest army. .
But now that Wen Zhongrong and Cui Ye have been taken under Xiao Tang's command, and are now assisting Xiao An in managing maritime trade and shops in the Mizhou Shipping Department, Liangshan will soon be captured by the narrow-minded and intolerant white-robed scholar Wang Lun. Occupied. So where will that Tang Bin end up?
He was also a rare general, not to mention that Tang Bin was an upright and righteous man. Later in the book, he fought to the death while escorting others, and died heroically against the enemy. Xiao Tang, such a hero, naturally wanted to get acquainted with him.
Since that Tang Bin is now arrested by the government, if I can grasp his whereabouts, he may be of great use to me when I seek the green forest. I may not be able to ask Xiao Yi, Yang Lin and other brothers in Daming Mansion to investigate. His whereabouts...
