XXVII. Jiangzhou
On the second day, Tang Jin was going to accompany Master Nangong and them into the city to celebrate the prefect's birthday. Naturally, the Malatang restaurant will be closed. There is also a distance of hundreds of miles from Xunyang Town to Jiangzhou, and several people have to set off a day in advance.
This group of people is not as fast as Nangong Xun with the two guards, Nangong Master is sitting in a sedan chair, carried by four sedan chair drivers, and followed by four powerful guards. Nangong Wang rode a white horse with his personal guard Scar. Nangong Wan rode a black horse, and chrysanthemums, bamboos, and orchids rode variegated little yellow horses, little red horses, and little white horses. Tang Jin rode a black horse, which he bought for eighty taels of silver, but it was still much worse than Nangong Wan's black horse.
Originally, the old man Nangong didn't understand Tang Jin's joining, but Nangong Wan explained, especially after emphasizing Tang Jin's extraordinary martial arts, Nangong Xiao agreed.
After all, the old man Nangong's sedan chair didn't go as fast as a horse, and after walking for dozens of miles, Nangong Wang asked to take the first step to make a good move for the old man. The old man agreed. Tang Jin was worried about what Nangong Wang would play, so he reminded Nangong Wan that it was best for them to take the first step to meet Nangong Xun. Nangong Wan felt reasonable, but she was a little worried about her father's safety, so she asked Bamboo and Orchid to follow Nangong Xiao, and she took a step forward with Tang Jin and Chrysanthemum.
In this way, the three of Tang Jin rushed to Jiangzhou City in less than half a day. Tang Jin knew that the Jiangzhou of the Song Dynasty belonged to Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province in later generations. Although it is not as good as Kaifeng, Lin'an, and Jinling, it is also a city, much larger than that of Xunyang Town. During the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi was once demoted to Jiangzhou Sima here.
According to the memory of the previous life, Jiangzhou in the Song Dynasty had five counties: Dehua, De'an, Ruichang, Hukou and Pengze, with a population of about 200,000.
The three of them entered the Jiangzhou Mansion and booked an upper room at the Yuelai Inn, and then Chrysanthemum stayed to take care of the salutes and horses, and Tang Jin followed Nangong Wan to the Wang's house in the northern city.
In the last Jiangzhou Keju Competition, the Jiangzhou team led by Wang Dong of the Wang family won the first place and will represent Jiangzhou Government to participate in the annual Keju Competition held in Beijing in September this year.
This prince was born rich and noble, his grandfather was the county magistrate of Pengze, and his father was a businessman. Wang Dong likes to dance with guns and sticks since he was a child, learns a good martial arts, and is ready to take the martial arts exam. And he also likes to make friends from all over the world, and if he gets along, he will definitely stay and hunt together, which is very similar to Nangong Xun. Sure enough, the two hated to see each other late, and after the Keju competition, they became brothers with different surnames.
This time, Nangong came to Jiangzhou to inquire about the news, so he naturally lived in Wang Dong's house, and he ate and chatted during the day and at night, and asked about the ground in Jiangzhou.
In the evening, Nangong Wan led Tang Jin and Chrysanthemum to the palace gate. The little man who guarded the door recognized Nangong Wan, who was wearing a veil, and greeted warmly: "Miss Nangong, please wait a moment, I will go and tell the young master." ”
After a while, Wang Dong personally came out to greet him, and Nangong Xun was naturally there.
"Miss Nangong is coming to the cold house, it's really brilliant!" Wang Dong stepped forward and greeted.
"Wang Gongzi is polite. In the past few days, my brother has been disturbed, and the little woman has thanked her son for his hospitality. Nangong said gracefully.
"Hey, Miss Nangong's words are rusty. What is my relationship with your brother? That's a friend of eight worships! If he comes to Jiangzhou or not, I'm angry! Wang Dong said with a smile, and immediately looked at Tang Jin.
"This little brother's eyes are a little tight."
Nangong Wan hurriedly introduced: "His name is Tang Jin." ”
"I am the family member of Nangong Mansion and the personal guard of Miss." Tang Jin arched his hand.
Bodyguard?
Wang Dong was thinking, wasn't Nangong Wan's escort the last time she saw four girls? Why is there suddenly an extra male guard?
To put it bluntly, half of the reason why Wang Dong and Nangong Xun became friends was because they had the same smell, and half of the reason was that they wanted to pursue Nangong Wan.
I remember last time, Nangong Xun still patted his chest and said that he would help pursue Nangong Wan, but this time Nangong Xun was a little stumbling. Could it be that it has something to do with the kid in front of you?
"Since it is Miss Nangong's newly recruited personal guard, it must be good at martial arts, and if there is a chance, this son wants to ask for a few tricks." Wang Dong looked at Tang Jindao.
"Don't dare."
Tang Jin also looked at Wang Dong, how to say it, dressed up, looks and temperament is not bad, he really looks like a boy in the city, but there is still a bit of arrogance in his eyes.
"Second brother, let me tell you, although this Tang Gongzi is my family member of Nangong Mansion, don't underestimate him. He's the captain of our Trailblazer Keju team! The team song 'Believe in Yourself' also came from him. Nangong Xun hurriedly introduced: "And he was the one who seriously injured Jin Daxing last time!" ”
Wang Dong's eyes suddenly lit up, "Fortunately, I didn't expect Brother Tang to be a great talent and a great master!" In that case, why don't we go and play a trick in Kemari? ”
"Wang San, prepare a sumptuous dinner, I want to wash the dust for Miss Nangong." As he spoke, Wang Dong gave instructions to the steward Wang San.
"Let's go, let's go to Kemari."
Wang Dong led everyone to the backyard. When I opened the door of the backyard, there was a lawn juju field similar to Nangong Mansion, which looked vast and green.
"Hey, this goal and the dividing line ......"
Tang Jin saw the goal with a net pocket, he was curious, his brows furrowed slightly, Nangong Xun saw it, and explained on the side: "Don't hide it from Brother Tang, this is what I taught my second brother." ”
"What, you said that the idea of this goal came from this Tang brother?" Wang Dong was shocked again.
"Haha, including clothing, techniques and whatever, all the ideas come from Brother Tang. He's a genius! I Nangong Xunchang is so big that there are few people who admire, and this Tang brother is one. Nangong Xun praised without hesitation.
"Miss Nangong is so blessed to be able to recruit such an outstanding family! I don't know if there's anything left, but I'd like to recruit one too. Wang Dong looked at Nangong Wandao, who was following Tang Jin.
"Wang Gongzi said with a smile, there is only one Tang Jin in the world, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a second Tang Jin." Nangong said with a smile.
"Miss." Tang Jin's polite thanks.
Wang Dong did not argue, walked to the Keju field, and hooked Keju with his feet.
"Prince Wang's good means." Tang Jin praised.
Suddenly, Wang Dong violently kicked Juju into the air in front of Tang Jin, "Brother Tang, catch it!" ”
The juju was three or four zhang high in mid-air, and Tang Jin jumped like that, flew directly into the air and grabbed the juju with his hand.
Light work?!
Wang Dong, Nangong Wan, Nangong Xun and Wang Dong's bodyguard Wang Shun were all stunned. It's not that no one in the Great Song Dynasty knows how to do light work, but they have never seen anyone who can easily leap a few feet.
"Haha, I can fly!"
Tang Jin was also very happy in his heart, he was just lifting his breath and jumping just now, he didn't expect to be able to jump so high, it seems that this is the effect of Ren Du's second pulse opening up and entering the innate realm.
"It's ugly."
Tang Jin's body fell lightly and returned the juju to Wang Dong.
"It's me who is ugly, Wang dares to show off in front of the masters, it's really humiliating! Looking at Gongzi's body just now, it is a bit like the legendary Wudang faction's cloud ladder, could it be that Brother Tang is from Wudang? Wang Dong took the juju and asked Tang Jin's mentorship directly.
This was a bit rude in ancient times.
Seeing that Tang Jin didn't want to answer, Wang Dong hurriedly smiled and said, "It's rude, it's rude." ”
"Brother Tang, today I am discussing with my eldest brother, I want to invite a few helpers for the national bow competition in September, and the eldest brother is naturally one, and I see Brother Tang's skills today......"
Wang Dong said this, and he stopped talking.
Tang Jin naturally understood, glanced at Nangong and saw him nodding, and said with a smile: "Yes." Since Wang Gongzi is the sworn brother of the young master, it can be regarded as a family, and if he can help, he will naturally help, so don't dislike me for talking too much when the time comes. ”
Originally, Wang Dong wanted to show himself in front of his sweetheart, but Tang Jin stole all the limelight. But he was convinced. Next, I am going to take Tang into the martial arts training arena to play tricks, how dare I go now? A few people went back to their homes after a round around the Keju field.
Wang Dong's father went to the north to do business and was not at home, and his mother died early, so he was basically the master of the family. The family was quick with their hands and feet, and a sumptuous dinner party was soon ready.
The lights in the living room were brilliant, as bright as day, Wang Dong raised his glass to toast, "Today for Miss Nangong and Brother Tang, I will do it first!" ”
