Chapter 263: Finally Meeting
"Master, how did you make yourself like this?" When Tang Ningzhi saw Tang Baicao, she didn't dare to recognize it at that time.
This is only more than five months, Tang Baicao seems to be more than ten years old, which is unacceptable for a while, although it has already been cleaned up, but it still reveals an old state.
When Tang Baicao saw Tang Ningzhi, tears suddenly flowed from his cloudy eyes, the experience of the past few months was like a dream, he had never thought about it in his life.
"Zhi'er, who came back alive to see you, it was not in vain that I persevered all the way, this little guy saved my life, you must treat him well." Tang Baicao pulled out the little beggar from behind the mountain, and only then did he believe what Tang Baicao said at the beginning.
Listening to the guards who went to pick them up, this is Her Majesty the Queen of Miao Jiang, he glanced at it a little timidly, but he was deeply attracted and didn't look away for a long time.
After Tang Ningzhi found out, she couldn't help but look at him carefully, after the child was washed, he was very handsome between his eyebrows and eyes, and Tang Ningzhi did not show an expression of disgust.
"Wu Zhuo will take him down first, and the master and I still have something to say." She desperately wanted to know what Tang Baicao had experienced during this time.
When Wu Zhuo took the little beggar away, he was still looking back, and in the stories he used to listen to others, he would always mention fairies, and he felt that Her Majesty the Queen was like a fairy descending to earth.
"Master, please sit down, why are you so seriously injured?" There are only two masters and apprentices left in the entire hall, and they no longer have any scruples when they speak.
As long as Tang Baicao remembered his experience this time, he couldn't wait to kill Tang Ningnan immediately, all the humiliation he experienced was all due to Tang Ningnan.
"I didn't expect that with Feng Feihan's protection, Tang Ningnan would be so difficult to deal with, and all of this that the teacher is suffering now is all because of her." The specific details, Tang Baicao was not willing to recall at all.
When the three words Tang Ningnan were mentioned, Tang Baicao had a feeling of gritting his teeth, his teeth clucked, and now if Tang Ningnan was in front of him, it is estimated that he would have already been broken into pieces.
"The master is all my fault, I shouldn't let your old man bear this, Nan'er now has the protection of Emperor Daliang, and it will be difficult to kill her." Tang Ningzhi looked sad and took all the blame on herself.
Tang Baicao quickly shook his head after hearing this, this matter was brought up by him on his own initiative, how can it have anything to do with Zhi'er, as a master, it is his responsibility to clean up the portal.
Since Tang Ningnan married Daliang, he gradually lost control, Tang Baicao himself felt unsteady, he couldn't control it, so he wanted to destroy it directly.
"You kid, it's like this every time, you take the responsibility on yourself, if Nan'er can be half as good as you, you don't have to find a way to get rid of her as a teacher, and after I recover from my injury, it's not too late to find a way to deal with her." The backlash this time is a bit big, and it is estimated that it will take a period of retreat to recuperate.
Seeing Tang Ningzhi so sad, Tang Baicao still wanted to comfort her, after listening to Tang Baicao's words, Tang Ningzhi secretly showed a smug expression, she used this method every time to let these people work for her.
"Master, let's recuperate in this palace! There are all kinds of medicinal materials, so you don't have to go to the mountains to collect the medicine yourself, and besides, I won't be at ease at all when Master goes back alone. "Tang Ningzhi wanted Tang Baicao to stay and teach all the Gu cultivation methods to herself.
At that time, she will no longer have to beg Tang Baicao, she will not have to be restrained by him, and she will be free at that time.
"You can't do it here, people come and go all day long, it's too messy, and say that I'm cleaner there, no one can disturb me, but one thing you said is quite right, the medicinal materials in this palace are complete, and when I go back, bring more medicinal materials from the palace."
No matter how Tang Ningzhi persuaded her, Tang Baicao was unwilling to stay, for fear of making him angry, so Tang Ningzhi had no choice but to give up in the end.
"Did anything happen during the old man's absence?" Tang Baicao found that Tang Ningzhi had always been sad, which showed that he had encountered something tricky.
Tang Ningzhi has indeed encountered something in the past few days, there has been a locust plague in half of Miaojiang, and all the crops have not been harvested, you can imagine how much famine there will be in the second half of the year.
After Tang Ningzhi said this, Tang Baicao had nothing to do, and he could only accept his fate for this kind of natural disaster, but if the imperial court didn't care, it was very likely that a large-scale riot would occur.
"Daliang didn't have this incident, you take advantage of this time to hurry up and buy more food, and it will be easier to deal with it when the time comes." All Tang Baicao could think of was to hurry up and buy some food back.
In the early dynasties, many ministers said so, but Tang Ningzhi didn't want to buy grain from Daliang at all for personal reasons, but none of the surrounding countries could sell grain to them, so now they are stuck in a kind of dead circle.
"There are already many ministers who have said the same, and they are thinking about who is better to send to purchase food, and we know that if we appear in Daliang, we will be hostile to them." The selection of candidates is indeed a difficult problem, and the characteristics of Miaojiang people are too obvious.
Tang Ningzhi is now a monarch, it is not when she is willful, you have to put half of the people's lives in her thoughts, how can you be so childish, even Tang Baicao knows that you have to quickly put up the grain.
"As a teacher, I remember that there was a man named Sun Zizhou in the past, and that child was quite reliable, but he wanted to see you all day long, and now he should be doing things for the imperial court, right?" Tang Baicao has a very deep memory of Sun Zizhou, but Tang Ningzhi doesn't look down on others at all.
Hearing the master mention Sun Zizhou, Tang Ningzhi realized that he hadn't met him privately for a long time, and the people who were staring at him had also kept saying that there was no problem.
At the beginning, when Xingyue disappeared, she was the first to suspect Sun Zizhou, because the impact of that incident was indeed quite big, and she also asked people to investigate in secret, and it didn't take long for the target to lock on Xingyue, but the person couldn't find it.
"This is indeed a suitable person, the master has just come back, and he directly solved this urgent need for me, I don't even know how to thank the master." Tang Ningzhi had a smile on her face, and she no longer had the gloom and gloom she had before.
She also tried to contact Mo Li, but there was no news at all, and after a long time, she began to think about giving up, there are many men in this world, there is really no need to be sad for him.
"Those messy teachers in the court don't understand at all, and there are not many who can help you, the most important thing is that you have to learn to grow by yourself." Tang Baicao really devoted his whole life to this apprentice.
As soon as Tang Ningzhi sat down, when he was in this position now, he said that he would arrange for his master to be in the court, and the temptation of Tang Baicao was not insignificant, but he still refused after weighing it, because Tang Baicao himself knew very well that he did not have such ability at all.
"Anyway, the master has also helped me a lot, I hope the master can take good care of his body, and the apprentice hasn't had time to honor you!" Tang Ningzhi and Tang Baicao spent more time together than their own family.
Tang Baicao was still very useful when he heard it, he had no children and no daughters in his life, and he devoted his whole life to teaching his apprentices, for that, Tang Ningnan couldn't count on it, and he must clean up the portal as soon as possible.
"The child I brought here can be trained well, and he will be a good helper in the future." On the way here, he learned that the child's name was Su Chen, who was originally from a wealthy family, but later fell into the middle of the family.
When she heard the master mention it, Tang Ningzhi saw the child's delicate little face in front of her eyes again, and those eyes were like stars in the sky, she could be regarded as having read countless people, but it was the first time she had seen such a person.
"I don't know if this kid has a name, how old is this year?" After all, it was the master's order, and Tang Ningzhi immediately took it to heart.
In the past, Mo Li was a trump card in her hand, if there was anything that couldn't be solved, just let him go out, but now that he has left himself for unknown reasons, he really needs to cultivate another one for himself, and the master is really timely enough.
"His name is Su Chen, he is almost sixteen years old, there has been an accident in his family since he was a child, he has been following those old beggars, and his life is not very good, he once had a meal with me, and bringing it back can be regarded as a repayment." At that time, Tang Baicao had not eaten for two days, and he was still very grateful to Su Chen for the steamed bun.
Tang Ningzhi said that she would pay attention to it, and after saying it for so long, she also saw that Tang Baicao was tired, Tang Ningzhi hurriedly ordered someone to help Tang Baicao go down to rest.
It was just a moment of hard work, and there was only one person left in the entire hall, Tang Ningzhi felt that her heart was empty, so she asked people to call Sun Zizhou.
"Zizhou, I called you over this time, in fact, I want to give you an important task, I want you to take someone to Daliang to purchase food for emergencies." Tang Ningzhi's serious instructions this time made Sun Zizhou feel a little uncomfortable.
Not long after the locust plague ended, the ministers of the DPRK and China have been discussing this matter, and the matter of purchasing grain fell on their heads, which is also something that Sun Zizhou did not expect, you must know that this is a fat difference.
"Thank you Your Majesty for your trust, the minister will live up to his mission, go home now and prepare, and set off tomorrow with people." This matter is for the people of Miaojiang, and Sun Zizhou is of course very happy.
Seeing that Sun Zizhou agreed without hesitation, Tang Ningzhi didn't know what to say for a while, and only said that there was no need to be in such a hurry, and he would announce it tomorrow morning, and then discuss how much food to purchase.
