Suzhou City is not as prosperous as Tang Ming imagined, especially today it seems to be very depressed, the spacious main street should be crowded with people, but at this time there are only a few sporadic passers-by, when the pace hurriedly saw Tang Ming's line, they didn't even dare to stop and watch, and many shops on the street were closed.

This situation is not right, the puzzled Tang Ming urged the horse to catch up with Tang Tianhao's carriage, and asked loudly in the window of his carriage: "Big brother, why is Suzhou City so depressed, and many merchants are not open for business in the daytime?" ”

Tang Tianhao stuck his head out of the window and said with a look of regret: "In the past two days, for some reason, the government has imposed martial law in the whole city, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the city at will, let alone open the market in the city. The eldest brother can pick you up at the city gate today or get the permission of the prefect, otherwise you will not be allowed to leave the city. ”

Tang Tianhao, who was still thinking about the guests of the banquet today, was ready to invite friends early to have a good time for Tang Ming. However, he received an order from the prefect that he should not be extravagant in the next few days, and that it would be good to have a family banquet, but he did not explain the reason.

Tang Ming nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, and he didn't ask anymore, he had also learned a lot of information by Zheng He's side in the past few days. Suzhou was originally not far from Nanjing, and the martial law at this moment was naturally related to the fact that Zhu Di led troops to recover Nanjing.

Sometimes Tang Ming disagreed with Zhu Di's approach, and the four-year battle of Jingyan had already been won, and now Jianwen in Nanjing has long been missing. Nanjing has long been secretly controlled by Zhu Di, if you want to recover it, you only need a holy decree to come down, and then send a minister or something to bring some people over to hand it over.

Why do you want to do it like this, not to mention the loss of labor and money, even these surrounding cities are implicated by it, it is really unwise to make a big move for a little face, and the army goes back and forth this time, although it does not need to fight, it is also an astronomical amount of money.

Since there were no people on the street, it was convenient for Tang Ming and his party to hurry, and they quickly arrived at the restaurant opened by Tang Tianhao unimpeded along the way.

The place where the "drunken fairy building" enters the eye is the three big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dance, the wooden building is three stories high, the carved eaves reflect the sun, the painting building is flying clouds, and the momentum is magnificent. The architectural wisdom of the ancients can be seen from this.

When Tang Ming and his entourage walked into the hall, they saw more than a dozen tables of banquets lined up, and the wine and food had already been served and smoked. Zhu Yong, who was greedy, didn't wait for Tang Tianhao to greet him, and with a loud roar, he took the seat and started eating. The embarrassed Tang Ming shook his head helplessly, pulled Li Ba to introduce the two of them to the eldest brother, and then took their seats in turn.

After three rounds of drinking, the brothers also told each other some interesting stories, the whole process was happy, the banquet lasted until the evening, Zhu Yong was the first to fall, and Li Ba was also a little drunk. Seeing that it was not early, he dispersed all his subordinates with great interest, and he helped the drunk Zhu Yong to retreat first, leaving the space for the two brothers.

The banquet had dispersed, but the brothers were still unsatisfied, so they simply ordered their subordinates to set up another table and come to the residence in the backyard. Qiu had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw her husband and Tang Ming coming, she took a young man beside her to salute and take a seat.

Qiu Shiping stepped down and personally made wine for everyone, seeing that her husband was a little drunk while her brother-in-law was still sober, she was curious for a while. The amount of wine that her husband drinks in Suzhou City can be counted with a palm comparable to his, but I didn't expect this little uncle to drink so much at such a young age.

When borrowing the cloth, Qiu said with a smile: "The little uncle is really a good drinker, your eldest brother's alcohol consumption is second to none in Suzhou, and he is also a little drunk at the moment, but the uncle is still sober, does the teacher also teach the uncle to drink as a science?" ”

In the final analysis, Qiu's purpose was to take the opportunity to inquire about Tang Ming's mentor, she had always heard her husband praise him, saying how high and powerful Tang Ming's mentor was. I didn't have the opportunity to confirm that the disciple of the master was right in front of me before, so of course I had to take the opportunity to ask.

Because as far as she knows, her husband's mentor is already a master, and even the young man who follows her is also her husband's fellow disciple, but this junior brother is not good at literature, but he has learned a good kung fu. Qiu has been looking for a teacher for his son, and a woman who has a child has all her thoughts on it, and as a parent, she must always plan for her son's future as early as possible.

Tang Ming naturally knew that he was not good at drinking, but that the wine in this era was too inferior, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law doesn't know, the family teacher has always drunk the wine he brewed, and the wine is very strong, I have been used to drinking it since I was a child, and this ordinary wine is naturally immune." ”

Talking about pouring wine, Tang Tianhao also became interested: "The wine that my brother said is so powerful, I don't know if I can make my eldest brother enjoy it!" ”

At this time, even the young man beside Qiu who had been sullen was also his eyes lit up, and he was looking forward to Tang Mingzhen taking out the spirits to taste with great interest.

Tang Ming looked at Tang Tianhao's wolf-like eyes, and said with a smile: "The eldest brother wants to taste the younger brother's own offer, and tomorrow the younger brother will personally demonstrate the method of making wine, and the eldest brother will have it whenever he wants to drink it in the future." ”

Tang Tianhao laughed when he heard this, wine was his first hobby, and he thought that he would be able to show off in front of his friends on the rivers and lakes every day in the future, and his mood was naturally very comfortable.

When the atmosphere was harmonious, he suddenly heard a report from his subordinates, saying that Tang Ming's pet was howling incessantly in the cage, and his mood seemed to be very irritable. Tang Ming covered his forehead with his hand, remembering that he had forgotten all his good brothers when he was so happy, and he didn't blame Xiaobai for getting angry if he hadn't seen him for most of the day.

Everyone who was present at Xiaobai had seen it, but everyone didn't pay much attention to it at that time, and as soon as he mentioned it, he followed behind Tang Ming and went to Guan Xiaobai's place under the leadership of his subordinates.

Xiao Bai was locked in the stable, and he was constantly screaming at Tianchang at the moment, and he didn't stop howling until Tang Ming released him. The creature's howl frightened the surrounding horses and huddled together in uneasiness.

Seeing Xiaobai and Tang Ming intimacy together, everyone was just curious, but they didn't expect Tang Ming to have such a wolf as a pet. Only the young man standing beside Qiu's was bright-eyed, and he seemed to be very interested in Xiaobai.

"I don't know if your wolf is the wolf king, big brother?" The young man couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and stepped forward to ask Tang Ming.

In addition to the white-faced man, the unknown young man in front of him was the second to show great interest after seeing Xiaobai. Tang Ming has always been unclear about Xiaobai, but Xiaobai is very close to him, so he doesn't care too much. At this moment, seeing that the young man seemed to know Xiaobai, he nodded and replied.

"Xiaobai is after I was separated from my teacher, I met on a desert island, when he seemed to have been bitten by some poison on his left leg, I saved it when he was dying, and then it has been following me, it is indeed the wolf king, but it has some differences from other wolves in the wolf den, as for the difference, I can't say why?"
