Chapter 10 Acquaintance at the beginning of the teenage years
To say that among the few people that Tang Xiao admired in this life, Mr. Pei Lianpei is one, and this Mr. Zhang is his mentor and the person he admires the most.
From the first time I met Mr. Zhang at the age of five and respected him as a teacher, until the old man left suddenly when he was eleven years old. During the six years, it was Mr. Zhang who taught him martial arts and taught him to be a man, and he was also the person he cared about the most besides his parents.
In my memory, the old gentleman was full of gorgeous hair, white beard, eight feet tall, broad chest and long arms, a resolute face, sharp eyes, swords, guns and halberds were omniscient, and the bow and horse were skillful and light.
If it weren't for the fact that the old gentleman had been extremely strict with Tang Xiao sooner or later in those six years, I am afraid that Tang Xiao would really become a gentleman.
Tang Xiao's original purpose in founding the Tang Sect was to find the whereabouts of this teacher. In the following years, the Tang Sect gradually developed into a Jianghu organization that incorporated hundreds of schools of thought, such as Qimen Dunjia, astronomy and geography, medical Taoism, and espionage.
Such a fission was something Tang Xiao had never expected, which made him both excited and worried.
At first, out of the instinct of the traverser, he was very interested in the strange people on the rivers and lakes, and with the help of his identity, he collected a group of people with unique skills.
The so-called rivers and lakes, to put it bluntly, are three religions and nine streams.
Maybe it's because of his attitude towards others and things in the family, and he soon won the support of everyone.
In the words of later generations, he has a good salary, a high salary, three guarantees, many holidays, a kind and handsome boss, and sees peach blossoms blooming every day.
Because of this, none of these people have few relatives and friends, so they call friends and friends to enter the Tang Gate together.
Shen Xingchen was originally an orphan in Xiangyang City, Tang Xiao and Mr. Zhang met him in the city when he was eight years old and was bullied by a group of people, so they rescued him. Since then, Shen Xingchen has been following Tang Xiao and accompanying Tang Xiao to practice martial arts and study.
Although the two are masters and servants, Tang Xiao has always regarded Shen Xingchen as a brother.
Like Tang Xiao, Shen Xingchen also respects Mr. Zhang very much. In the past few years when Mr. Zhang said goodbye without saying goodbye, he helped Tang Xiao to find out his whereabouts, which also became an important reason for the vigorous development of Tangmen.
Now, finally with the whereabouts of Mr. Zhang, he naturally came to tell Tang Xiao as soon as possible.
In the study, Tang Xiao carefully read the letter in his hand, looked up and asked, "Did you just hear about it?" Isn't there a little bit of other news? Didn't you find out Master's identity at all? ”
Although he heard the urgency in Tang Xiao's voice, Shen Xingchen still shook his head: "The old gentleman's whereabouts are secretive, and his subordinates have been investigating for a long time before learning that Mr. has appeared in Hongnong County recently. ”
Hearing this, Tang Xiao's face was as cold as ice, and he ordered: "You take Feiyu to Hongnong County in person, and be sure to bring back some useful news!" ”
"Subordinates obey!" Shen Xingchen hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Lord Wang, does the old gentleman really know the secret about that fire?" ”
Tang Xiao touched the blackened bronze medal in his arms, and nodded slowly: "I think Master must know something, otherwise he wouldn't have passed on the book to me before that." ”
"The subordinates set off immediately and rushed to Hongnong County as soon as possible."
Watching Shen Xingchen walk quickly towards the outside of the study, Tang Xiao sighed lightly: "Xingchen, you've worked hard these days. ”
Shen Xingchen's footsteps paused, but he didn't look back, and his footsteps disappeared into the night with unusually firm steps.
Tang Xiao stood at the door and looked up at the night sky: the night sky of Chang'an City seemed to be no different from that of Xiangyang City.
At three o'clock, the sky was faint.
Tang Xiao put down the sword in his hand, took the handkerchief handed by the green pothos and wiped the sweat on his forehead. Then he wiped the blade of the sword with a white cloth, and then put the sword into its sheath.
The green pothos on the side had stars shining in his eyes, and he admired: "Your Highness, your swordsmanship seems to be much more powerful, it looks so elegant!" ”
Hearing the praise, Tang Xiao smiled happily and said: "It's still our pothos that is the most well-behaved, and what I said is exactly what I want." ”
At this point, Tang Xiao suddenly thought of the two girls he met in Yong'an Palace yesterday, that mouth was really vicious, and the words he said were not good at all.
"Your Highness, drink a bowl of bean juice! You practiced for half an hour, and you didn't take a break. Seeing Tang Xiao pick up another spear, the pothos hurriedly stepped forward with the bowl.
Tang Xiao danced his spear, and when he saw the pothos suddenly appear in front of him, he hurriedly put away the gun and said, "You girl, I almost hurt you just now!" ”
However, seeing the aggrieved appearance of the pothos holding the bowl, Tang Xiao had to drink a whole bowl of bean juice, and the little girl left with a smile.
At the moment, Tang Xiao led the snow to prepare to go to Dongshi, and as soon as he walked out of the gate of the palace, he saw Yu Chi Baoqi dragging Cheng Huaibi and jumping out from behind the big tree in front of the door. The two were followed by two sixteen or seventeen-year-old youths, who were looking at Tang Xiao with curiosity.
Tang Xiao led the horse and happened to look at Cheng Huaibi, and suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.
The two just had a fight yesterday, and Tang Xiao was still holding the horse that he had taken from Cheng Huaibi. Seeing each other today, it's already good that Cheng Huaibi didn't rush up, let alone have a good face.
"Third Brother Cheng, who did you say you showed with a stinky face! Didn't we say yes when we came, and when we saw the worry-free brother, we smiled and hated each other. Look at you now, how can you have a little bit of the bearing to be a big brother! ”
Hearing this, Cheng Huaibi immediately shot back: "Before we come, you swear to me that King Anle will definitely apologize to me." If not, who wants to come with you! ”
These words made Yu Chi Baoqi feel embarrassed suddenly, he looked at Tang Xiao with some embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Brother worry-free, look at this matter......"
Tang Xiao originally wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to Cheng Huaibi, after all, he had cheated his treasure horse and beat him. No matter where you go up, it's your own fault. Now that Yu Chi Baoqi is maneuvering around, it is also an opportunity to resolve grievances.
Tang Xiao did not hesitate and stepped forward to apologize: "Brother Cheng, everything happened before was my fault, and Tang solemnly apologizes to you here." It just so happened that a batch of things were just shipped from my house yesterday, how about I take you in and pick a few? ”
Hearing Tang Xiao mention this stubble, Yu Chi Baoqi's eyes lit up, and he excitedly dragged Cheng Huaibi and said, "Third brother, quickly agree!" The little brother assures you that you have never heard of the things in the house of the carefree brother, they are all novelty! ”
Although Cheng Huaibi was curious in his heart, he did not immediately nod in agreement, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face.
After a day, although his face was swollen, there were still some bruises, and there was a dull pain from time to time.
Cheng Huaibi was hesitating, and the other two young men had no grudges with Tang Xiao. After listening to what Yu Chi Baoqi said, the two hurriedly asked, "Erbao, what you said is true?" ”
Two treasures?
Tang Xiao almost didn't laugh out loud, and he scolded Wei Chigong for naming his son. If it is called like this, the eldest brother of Yu Chi Baoqi is called Da Bao, and the third brother is called Sanbao, and the three of them add up to the auspicious three treasures of the Yu Chi family?
Seeing Tang Xiao holding back a smile on the side, Yu Chi Baoqi smiled wryly, and glared at the two of them: "How many times have you said it, don't call me Erbao!" ”
"Erbao, what a festive name you have! With such a good name, why don't you let people call it! ”
"Pei Er, do you want my brother to loosen your muscles and bones for you?"
"You're just a few days older than me, you're so embarrassed!"
"If you are big, you are also big in one day, and if you have the ability, you will let your mother give birth to you again!"
"Two brothers, don't quarrel, let's ......"
"He Ruo is chubby, shut up!"
Tang Xiao listened and watched from the sidelines, but did not participate. A few people can be so noisy, obviously the relationship is excellent. And Tang Xiao also distinguished their respective identities from their conversations.
That white and pure young man is Pei Xingjian, but he gave birth to a good skin. If this handsome face is placed in the future life, it will definitely be able to charm a large number of little girls.
Another slightly smaller little fat man must be He Ruoying, with very dark skin, small eyes and small nose, he looks like a little angry bag, and he is really a little sorry for his majestic name.
Cheng Huaibi was also watching from the sidelines, he obviously understood that several friends were giving him a chance to consider, so he would make such a noise. He glanced at Tang Xiao and felt that it was not a problem to consume it like this, but in fact, he was still a little afraid of this King of Anle in his heart.
"Don't quarrel with you, I'll go in with you and take a look. Erbao, I can tell you, if there are no rare things in this Anle Palace, I can't spare you! As he spoke, Cheng Huaibi glanced back at Tang Xiao.
Everyone knew that Cheng Huaibi was saying this to Tang Xiao. Seeing that Tang Xiao didn't care, he gradually put his mind at ease and entered the Anle Palace's mansion with a smile.
As a result, Tang Xiao's plan to go to Yunlan Pavilion in the East City had to be postponed again. However, a few people had planned to go with him, and they would not be delayed for too long in the palace.
The things that were shipped yesterday had already been classified, and what was left behind was naturally what Tang Xiao was willing to let a few people see. He led the four of them to a room, which was full of things he was tired of. However, these are all novelties to the four people around him.
The little fat man He Ruoying fell in love with a sleeve crossbow at a glance, and played with it in his hand, and he couldn't put it down. Pei Xingjian focused his attention on an iron model ship, and there were some doubts in his heart. Yu Chi Erbao looked here and there, and felt that everything was good. Cheng Huaibi stood aside, without moving his steps, but his eyes really betrayed him.
Tang Xiao saw Cheng Huaibi like this, and said with a smile: "Brother Cheng, you can take whatever you like, you're welcome." ”
Cheng Huaibi pursed his lips and said coldly, "If I like them all, can you still let me take them all?" ”
Hearing this, Wei Chi Erbao suddenly couldn't stand it anymore, and said with some anger, "Third brother, the worry-free brother sincerely apologizes to you, but you are so difficult, isn't this embarrassing to the brothers!" ”
Pei Er and the little fat man were obviously bought by the strange objects in this room, and they also nodded in agreement.
Tang Xiao is really not afraid of the things in this house, he is afraid that they will not take them. These things were all experiments from previous years, and he could make as many as he wanted.
Stopping Wei Chi Erbao, Tang Xiao smiled at Cheng Huaibi and said, "Brother Cheng wants to take it all, just let the people in the house come and move." ”
Seeing Tang Xiao so generous, Cheng Huaibi felt that he was a little narrow-minded, and suddenly looked embarrassed: "In this way, Cheng is disrespectful." ”
In the end, Cheng Huaibi symbolically took a short dagger made of alloy, but Tang Xiao secretly sighed that this guy was really lucky and took the best thing.
The little fat man He Ruoying took the sleeve crossbow that he had taken a fancy to before, and thanked Tang with a smile happily. The pair of little eyes on his face were almost gone, and he was still standing there silly.
Pei Xingjian took the iron ship model and asked Tang Xiao, can this iron lump really float on the water? After getting Tang Xiao's reply, I couldn't help but be surprised again and again, and said that I must try it when I go back.
Yu Chi Erbao was not polite at all, holding a bottle of perfume in one hand and a hand-cranked juicer in the other, and smiled at Tang with a big smile and thanked him. Seeing that this guy's foodie nature was exposed, Tang Xiao hurriedly explained the use of perfume, which made Yu Chi Erbao feel sorry.
This second product really uses perfume as a spice......
