Chapter 68
In the end, Xiong still didn't accept Tang Yan's medicine, he had what he insisted on keeping.
Tang Sheng had been silently looking at his master and the bear who had taught him a lot of things although he was not a master, and smiled slightly, "Master, a manly man, the injuries on his body are medals!" ”
Tang Yan glanced at Tang Sheng angrily, "You kid want a medal, right?" Then I'm not welcome to be a teacher next time I practice~ Keep your full 'medal'! ”
Tang Sheng suddenly made a frightened expression, and looked at his girl master dumbfounded, "Don't, master!" Medals or something, can't I stop it?!"
The three of them have been together day and night for a whole year, and the Tang family has recognized Tang Sheng's identity as Tang Yan's disciple, and also acquiesced to the existence of Xiong. In this year, perhaps the three of them have changed more or less, and the good change is the trust and tacit understanding formed between the three of them.
Xiong looked at Tang Sheng, and rarely hooked the corners of his mouth to silently express the gentleness in his heart, seeing Tang Sheng, he seemed to see some shadows of himself a long time ago in him, but he was happier than himself, and he had a good master who was willing to take care of him and cultivate him.
It didn't take long for Hua Ya, a first-class maid of the General's Mansion wearing purple clothes outside the small courtyard, to move under her feet, and the footsteps were taken into Tang Yan's ears early.
Xiong disappeared silently beside Tang Yan and disappeared into her small courtyard, although his existence had been tacitly acquiesced by the Tang family husband and wife, but it was not made public in the General's Mansion, so for the rest of the General's Mansion, he was simply a non-existent person.
"Miss."
Hua Ya bowed her knees when she entered the door, Tang Yan nodded, "Is there something wrong with my mother?" ”
Hua Ya smiled and shook her head, "No, miss, it was the general who asked you to come over, saying that he had something to say." ”
Tang Yan nodded, "Okay, you go and reply to your father first, just say that Yan'er will be there in a while, I... Change your clothes and come over later. ”
"Yes, miss." Hua Ya saluted again, turned around and left the small courtyard.
Seeing her mother's personal maid, Tang Yan suddenly missed her maid Lu Ning, since she came to this world at the age of five, Lu Ning has been taking care of her diet and daily life, she has been with her for eight and a half years, half a year ago, Tang Yan decided to let Lu Ning out of the house, personally prepared a generous gift, and sent Lu Ning to marry.
Lu Ning and Dong Ji, the owner of Duobao Pavilion, have been in love for a long time, she can have a good home and live happily in the future, Tang Yan's release of her is the best gift she can give her.
"Master." Beside him, Tang Sheng's shout pulled Tang Yan back to Shen'er, "Is the Great Contest between the Wind Dragon Empire and the Four Kingdoms of Huoyan, Xuanjing, and Tianxuan about to begin?" ”
His reminder made Tang Yan, who had almost forgotten about this matter, suddenly remembered some recent events, "Yes, a year has passed unconsciously, and my brother should be back." ”
Tang Feng's return home may be in these few days.
Dressed in white, Tang Yan came to the front hall of her house, and her father Tang Zhengming had been waiting for a while.
Seeing his daughter's radiant appearance, Tang Zhengming couldn't help but smile, "Yan'er, tomorrow you will represent the Wind Dragon Empire to Huoyan to participate in the five-year Four Nations Competition." ”
"Fire? Is the venue of the tournament set in the Flame Empire? Tang Yan was quite surprised, she hadn't received this news at all before, the competition of the four empires every five years was really a bit secret and mysterious, and it was not until the game was close that the destination of the competition was revealed.
Tang Zhengming nodded, "Yes, I also just received the news, your brother is coming back this afternoon, tomorrow the seven of you will worship the emperor in the palace, and then someone will take you to Huoyan ......"
"Father, aren't you taking us there?" This news is also quite surprising, the young talents of the Wind Dragon Empire went out to compete and it was not led by the great general Tang Zhengming, so who else would have the qualifications to represent the envoy and leader of the Wind Dragon?
"Well, after all, it is to take the genius of his own country to other empires, which is secretly dangerous, so His Majesty specially invited the worship elder in the royal family who has long retreated into the background to lead him personally, it is said that the strength of that elder has reached the peak of the Martial Emperor, with his protection, I am also relieved."
Sending a Martial Emperor to escort him all the way was really surprising, Tang Yan nodded, "Father, can I bring someone with me this time to the Huoyan Competition?" ”
Tang Zhengming frowned slightly, "Who do you want to bring?" ”
"My apprentice, Tang Sheng's kid has improved a lot recently, and he also wants to go out to see the world, father, you know, his talent, I'm afraid that the next five-year Wind Dragon Selection Competition will definitely make a difference, now let him follow up and meet the world, it should be considered as a preparation for the next competition."
Tang Zhengming looked at his daughter cautiously, in a year, she has changed amazingly, she used to be simple, delicate, well-behaved, obedient, and now she is fourteen years old and speaks in a tone that is already like an adult.
Tang Zhengming beckoned to his daughter, Tang Yan stepped forward and stood in front of her father, looking at her father puzzled, not knowing what he meant.
Tang Zhengming raised his right hand, pressed his thick big palm on his daughter's head, and pressed it gently, "Yan'er has grown up, and she will already think about the future." ”
"Father~~ I'm fourteen years old!" Tang Yan said coquettishly, probably because she had been pretending to be too well-behaved since she was a child, and she was suddenly ready to stop being low-key, and the external changes in this year were indeed a little more contrasting.
Tang Zhengming bent his eyes and smiled, "Okay, Yan'er has grown up, but little Tang has ...... promotion"
"That's my apprentice!" Tang Yan emphasized again that she had said this sentence to her parents too many times this year, but every time she was laughed off by the two of them, she didn't take it to heart. After all, Tang Yan herself is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she has no ability at such a young age, so how can she accept apprentices? The title 'apprentice' is just that the husband and wife of the Tang family are just joking with their daughters.
"Okay, okay, your apprentice is okay." Tang Zhengming looked at his daughter dotingly, "Little Tang Sheng is only ten years old, and you are only a half-grown child, go out together, do you take care of him?" ”
Tang Yan suddenly rolled her eyes and said, "Father, you also said that Tang Sheng is ten years old, and he is not a child, will he still cry with me halfway?" She didn't want to say that after Lu Ning left this year, it was the ten-year-old child in her father's mouth who took care of her, although this apprentice of hers was young, and now he is only ten years old, but he will do a lot! Laundry, cooking, cooking, cleaning, everything is passed, in addition to their own strength is gradually improving.
After a year of cramming education, I am afraid she can't remember the things that Tang Yan handed over to her apprentices.
"This ......" Tang Zhengming is still not very relieved, the ten-year-old child is indeed too young, although Tang Sheng's child is very sensible, but out of the Wind Dragon Empire, when he goes to the land of another country, there will always be risks outside, he is not worried that Tang Sheng will not be able to keep up all the way, he is worried that there will be danger outside.
Even if Tang Yan's seven people are led by the peak powerhouse of the Martial Emperor sent by the royal family, it is impossible for the Martial Emperor to take into account the safety of everyone, and the Martial Emperor is only one person, once something happens, he will also lack skills. Once Tang Sheng, who has no ability to protect himself at all, goes, he doesn't dare to guarantee whether there will be problems.
"Father, don't worry, my apprentice I'm sure he'll be fine, just follow me to witness the excitement of the Four Kingdoms Competition, he will follow me throughout the whole process, and I will be optimistic about him." Tang Yan watched her father reassure repeatedly, and in the end, Tang Zhengming finally hesitated and reluctantly shook his head, "I really can't help you." ”
"Hehe~" Tang Yan grinned sweetly, knowing that her father had relented, she stepped forward and grabbed Tang Zhengming's big hand and shook it, "Father, did you agree?" ”
Tang Zhengming shook his head helplessly, "Okay, if Xiao Tang Sheng wants to go, let him go, but follow you, I don't worry, fortunately, your brother will also be with you, and when Feng'er comes back, let Xiao Tang Sheng follow him." ”
After listening to her father's words, Tang Yan was truly speechless, her reliability in her father's heart was not as good as that of her brother?
But...... As long as you can go, Tang Sheng has been in the Tang family for almost all the rest of the year, except for the occasional time he was taken to the underground black market by himself to see and learn.
"Thank you, father!" got what she wanted in her heart, Tang Yan was in a happy mood, the smile on her face was even sweeter, Tang Zhengming looked thoughtful, and suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, Yan'er, you are fourteen years old this year, and Feng'er mentioned to her father before she left that she was looking for you...... Ahem, well, what do you think of Song Chengyu? ”
Tang Zhengming suddenly mentioned this topic, which made Tang Yan unprepared for a while.
She was stunned, and then deliberately made a surprised expression, and the little daughter bowed her head shyly, "Father, what are you talking about~~"
Tang Zhengming didn't seem to understand his daughter's shyness, and continued, "Song Chengyu is young and promising, although he didn't enter the top three in the competition a year ago, but the top three in his strength is more than enough. This person was born among the commoners, but he can be compared with many geniuses in the gate of the wind dragon, it can be seen how motivated he is on weekdays, and his current achievements can be said to be extremely rare, with his talent and heart, he can be regarded as worthy of you. ”
Tang Zhengming was looking at his daughter's expression, only to see Tang Yan lower his head lower, almost buried in her chest that did not rise and fall, he smiled slightly, "Yan'er, don't be shy, if you have anything to say, just say it, I know that the fourth prince also has a heart for you, but his identity is destined to be the only one you in the future, and Song Chengyu is different, he can enter the general's mansion, and his wife can only have you in the future." ”
Is it better to choose because of different identities?
