Chapter 338: These two girls are good
Tang Ning looked at Butcher Zheng and said in surprise: "You want to go to Chu State with me?" β
One of the things he worries about the most is that he is going to Chu State, and there is no decent master around him to protect him, although the marriage is very important, and there will be no fewer escorts with him, but in case of special circumstances, there must still be a reliable bodyguard by his side.
Butcher Zheng is not as powerful as the old beggar, but with a pig-killing knife on his waist, he is definitely qualified for this position.
But the question is, why did he do this, just because he saved the girl?
Although this reason can also be reasonable, it obviously cannot convince Downing.
Butcher Zheng explained: "This time I went to Chu State, there are some things to do, and I happen to be on the same road with you, and during this time, I will ask you to take care of it." β
Although he didn't know what he had to do when he went to Chu State, with such a master with him, Tang Ning was relieved of most of his worries, and naturally he would not refuse.
The little girl has been ill for a long time and her body is weak, Tang Ning first arranged for them to stay in the house, there is still nearly a month before the departure, and then the girl should be almost recuperating, and Butcher Zheng can leave with confidence.
He still has a lot to do during this time.
The palace stipulates the time, within five days, the Ministry of Rites must set all the regulations, although there are some discrepancies with Tang Ning's expectations, but the new female official of Changning Palace is very talkative, as a marriage envoy, entering and leaving Changning Palace during this time, even if there is no suitable reason, there will be no obstruction.
In Changning Palace, Zhao Man looked at him with some expectation and asked, "When are we leaving......
In the past, she was obviously depressed because of the marriage, and the whole person was almost depressed, but since Tang Ning served as the marriage envoy, she actually looked forward to this matter.
Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "Isn't it good in the palace, why are you in such a hurry, when the time comes, it's not as easy as it is now." β
Zhao Man held his chin with both hands and said, "After I set off, I can be with you all the time, if only I could walk on the road for a lifetime......"
The little girl is so naΓ―ve to think about the problem, Tang Ning doesn't want to be delayed on the road for a lifetime, he has a lot of things to do in his life.
After accompanying her in Changning Palace for a while, Tang Ning walked out of the palace and did not go home, but accompanied by Zheng Butcher, he came to the northern district of Jingshi.
Most of the people living in the North District were poor, and it was the poorest and most chaotic place in Beijing, and Tang Ning bought a large piece of land here at a very cheap price and built many houses.
This is the location of the helmsman of the beggar gang Jingshi, near the Jingshi, I dare not say ten percent, but nearly ninety percent of the beggars have been incorporated by Liu Laoer, in addition to begging, but also do some shop help, collect news.
Tang Ning walked into the courtyard, and someone stepped forward to report, Liu Lao Er walked out of the house quickly, and hurriedly said: "The helper is coming, I don't know what to order?" β
The beggar gang here is not like the legendary beggar gang, the largest faction in the world, strong, no one dares to provoke, but fortunately, they are numerous, have special professions, are not eye-catching, and can often do things that others can't do.
Tang Ning needs Liu Lao Er to arrange for some people to keep an eye on the Tang family and the powerful people who have been dealt with by him, so as to prevent them from doing something out of the ordinary with a brain fever.
Liu Lao Er nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter!" β
He thought for a while, looked at Tang Ning again, and said, "The gang leader has a long way to go, why don't you bring some brothers from the gang, so you can take care of it." β
Tang Ning nodded, as a wedding envoy, he could bring twenty retinues, and along the way, he also needed to have some of his own people.
Liu Lao Er looked to the side and instructed a disciple: "Pick twenty core disciples to come out, and along the way, wait for the help master to send them." β
The core disciples of the beggar gang will not only beg for food, the old beggar taught them some formations and basic martial arts, more than a year has passed, these disciples also have some skills, it may not be possible to fight alone, but if ten or twenty get together, it is difficult for ordinary martial arts masters to get out.
After arranging the affairs of the beggars, Tang Ning went to the natural residence 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 the county lord of Anyang through Zhao Man, and then made an appointment with her through the county lord of Anyang.
Tang Ning is most worried about what small actions the Tang family will make after he leaves, it is not enough for Liu Lao Er to send someone to keep an eye on it, if he can capture or deal with Tang Shui, it is equivalent to having double insurance.
Tang Ning walked up to her and said, "I am going to serve as a wedding envoy this time and go to Chu with the princess." β
Tang Shui nodded and said, "I know." β
"I went out this time, and it may take a long time to come back." Tang Ning looked at her and said, "If I leave, what does the Tang family do, do you ......, can my cousin come here and tell Miss Su?" β
He wouldn't embarrass her to deal with the Tang family, just passing the news to Su Mei was enough for her to make some preparations in advance.
"Okay." Tang Shui replied very dryly.
"Thank you, cousin."
"No thanks, Jingshi has me, you don't have to worry, you have to be cautious when you are outside."
Su Mei walked out of the room, Tang Shui glanced at her, and said to Tang Ning, "I'll go talk to my sister-in-law." β
Because of the relationship between coming here often, she is no longer as-for-tat with Su Mei as before, but the two are not friends, maybe it is a certain nature of a woman, whether it is Tang Shui, Tang Xiaoxiao or Zhao Man, there is a natural resistance to Su Mei, who is the top of women in all aspects of her figure, appearance and temperament.
Su Mei sat on the swing, shook for a while, sighed, and said, "There will be at least half a year, and I can't get a good night's sleep." β
Her sleep is actually much better than at the beginning, and she can fall asleep with a rag doll in her arms, but it is just that it is difficult to enter a deep sleep.
Tang Ning looked at her and proposed: "I recently prepared a medicine that can make people fall asleep for several hours, but it may have some dizziness and nausea side effects, do you want to try it?" β
"Forget it......"
Su Mei looked at him as if he was the kind of medicine, and Tang Ning had no choice but to dispel that thought.
Su Mei sighed leisurely, and then spoke: "What I gave you, you put it away, use it to protect yourself at a critical time, you went to Chu State this time, it was not as smooth as you imagined, not to mention the countless green forest bandits along the way, after arriving in Chu State, you may also encounter a lot of resistance...... no matter what happens, you have to remember that it is important to save your life." β
When he first came here, Tang Ning was desperately trying to return to his original world, but now, this thought has gradually faded.
Instead of being a lone wanderer in another world without relatives and friends, he prefers to have family and friends here.
Whether it is Tang Shui or Su Mei, this feeling of being really cared for is something he can't experience in another world.
"You have to take care of yourself." Su Mei looked at him and told him seriously: "If something happens to you, where can I find such a good medicine......
Tang Ning's finally rising emotion was interrupted by her, worried that Lao Zheng had been waiting outside for a long time, and when Tang Shui came out of the backyard, he went out with her.
Su Mei sent them out of the courtyard gate, and when the three of them walked out, Zheng Butcher, 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 faces 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 left and right, and said in unison.
Butcher Zheng continued to walk towards this side, feeling the oppression coming from the front, Su Mei's hand was lightly wiped on her waist, and there was a soft sword in her hand.
"Take him away." Su Mei glanced at Tang Shui, and then looked at Butcher Zheng who came over with a focused expression.
"Be careful yourself." Tang Shui glanced at Su Mei, grabbed Tang Ning's wrist, and said in a low voice, "Go!" β
"What for?" Tang Ning looked at them in surprise and said, "Don't be nervous, your own people ......"
Butcher Zheng walked over, looked at Su Mei, then at Tang Shui, and finally looked at Tang Ning, and said, "These two girls are good." β
