Chapter 50: Crossing the River and Meeting Tang Zhun

In the early morning of the next day, Di Renjie and the others got up early, and after cleaning up, several people had a simple breakfast and were ready to embark on the trip again!

Di Renjie walked out of Yuanfu Temple, looking at the deserted temple, Di Renjie folded his hands, bowed deeply, and said to himself: "Alas! It's a pity that a good temple is so deserted! ”

Everyone looked at Di Renjie with a solemn expression, and they couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in their hearts!

Di Renjie waved his hand, Di Chun and Qin Bao closed the gate of Yuanfu Temple together, Di Chun helped Di Renjie into the carriage, Li Yuanfang and others turned over and got on the horse, and the group embarked on the trip again!

Around Shen Shi, the group finally came to the Yishui Ferry, at this time the boat had not returned, and the group had to wait at the ferry!

Several people were resting, a fast horse galloped from a distance, and in a blink of an eye they also arrived at the ferry, and immediately sat a young man, this young man wore a long Luo head, thick eyebrows and big eyes, fair skin, wearing a brocade robe, standing on the horse, so not angry!

Seeing that there were already people waiting here, the young man turned over and dismounted, and walked towards Di Renjie and them!

The young man looked at the people in front of him, and saw that Di Renjie was the oldest, and he also felt that Di Renjie was the most noble, and the young man hugged his fist towards Di Renjie and saluted, and Di Renjie also smiled politely in return!

"This little brother is also waiting for a boat to cross the river?" Di Renjie asked!

"Back to the old man, I'm going to cross the river and return home!" The young man replied politely!

"Oh! Is the little brother from Shuozhou? Di Renjie asked!

"Yes! My home is thirty miles outside Shuozhou, Xilin Villa! "Young man!

Di Renjie couldn't help but take a closer look at the young man in front of him, after all, if the mansion can be called a villa, it must be either rich or expensive!

"Sir, where are you going to cross the river?" The young man asked!

"We're going to Shuozhou!" Di Renjie replied!

"Oh? Such a coincidence? If the old gentleman arrives in Shuozhou, he can go to Xilin Villa to sit in his spare time! The young man smiled!

"Hahaha! Thank you so much, I don't know what to call my little brother? Di Renjie clenched his fists and asked!

"Xiao Ke's surname is Tang, Tang Zhun! Haven't asked the old gentleman for his surname? The young man asked!

"Old and decayed Huaiying, and people from the state!" Di Renjie said!

"Mr. Huai!" Tang Zhun Shili said, "Seeing that Mr. Huai is humble and has an extraordinary bearing, he must not be an ordinary person, right?" ”

"Hahaha! Tang Gongzi said with a smile, the old man is just an ordinary man, but Tang Gongzi, with a dignified appearance, quite a literati and a writer! Di Renjie laughed!

"Mr. Huai has an overreputation! Literati and writers can't talk about it, Xiao Ke has only read a few books! Tang Zhun said modestly!

"Tang Gongzi, you are from Shuozhou, and the old man is curious about something and wants to ask you for advice!" Di Renjie said with a smile!

"Mr. Huai, you're welcome, our meeting is fate, if you have anything to say, just say hello! I must know it all! Tang Zhun said!

"Good! The old man heard that the army of our dynasty to fight against the Turks disappeared in Shuozhou not long ago? Have you ever heard of Tang Gongzi? Di Renjie asked!

"Mr. Huai, forgive me, since I entered the summer, my father asked me to go to Chang'an to visit the teacher to study, I have also heard a little about the news of the disappearance of the army, the rumor is that I killed too much of the army, and the bloody breath attracted the nine-headed black sand in the black desert, this demon beast devoured my army, causing my Great Zhou soldiers to have no life!" Tang Zhun said!

"Oh? I had only heard that this army was missing, but I never thought that there could be such a strange thing. Di Renjie asked!

"Alas! Although I grew up in Shuozhou, I have never seen any nine-headed black sand sand If the two clans can live in peace, the soldiers will no longer lick the blood, and the people at the border can live and work in peace and contentment! Tang Zhun said with emotion!

"Hmmm! I can't imagine that Tang Gongzi still has a heart for the world! Compassion for the sky, compassion for all beings, Tang Gongzi is really a saint! Di Renjie praised!

"Xiao Ke just felt it for a while, and Mr. Huai smiled!" Tang Zhun said a little shyly!

"By the way, Tang Gongzi, you said that you grew up in Shuozhou, and there were also troops returning through Shuozhou in the past?" Di Renjie asked!

"Maybe there were not many wars in the past, and the officers and soldiers of the brigade had hardly seen it, and in the past, the imperial court sent troops, mostly returning through Shengzhou or Yunzhou! Why did Mr. Huai ask? Tang Zhun asked puzzled!

"Oh, it's nothing, I've heard before that most of my Korean troops go out to fight from Shengzhou, or from Shengzhou, or from Yunzhou, but this army has set the first stop of the return to the DPRK in Shuozhou, which is indeed a bit strange!" Di Renjie twisted his hair and said!

"Mr. Huai, maybe the combat position of the army is different, right? In this country's affairs, we ordinary people should not talk too much about it! Tang Zhun said respectfully!

"Hahaha! Don't talk about state affairs! Don't talk about state affairs! Yes? Hahaha! Di Renjie laughed a few times to resolve the momentary embarrassment!

"Master, the ship is coming!" Di Chun ran over and reminded!

"Oh?" Di Renjie looked up, and sure enough, a ferry boat came from afar, "Tang Gongzi, the boat is here, let's board the boat?" ”

"Good! Mr. Huai please! Tang Zhun politely supported Di Renjie and said!

Di Renjie was slightly stunned, and immediately showed a satisfied smile!

"Hey! Hurry up and hurry up to cross the water? It's the last boat, and if it's late, you'll have to wait for tomorrow! The boatman stood at the bow and sang!

"Boatman, we're going to cross the river!" Di Chun said!

"Okay, 400 yuan for ferrymen, 200 yuan for carriages and horses, pay the money to board the boat, and leave when the passengers are full!" The boatman sang!

"Okay, we're seven people, six horses and one cart!" Di Chun said!

"Boatman, I'm a man and a horse!" Tang Zhun fumbled with his sleeve pocket and said!

Before the boatman could speak, Tang Zhun seemed a little flustered, and kept groping around on his body!

"Boatman, this is five taels of silver, eight of us, seven horses and one cart!" Di Renjie said, took out a silver ingot and handed it over!

"Gotcha! Be careful, the springboard is slippery, watch your step! The boatman smiled and took the silver handed over by Di Renjie!

"Tang Gongzi, board the ship!" Di Renjie smiled and pulled Tang Zhun onto the boat!

"Thank you, Mr. Huai! Xiao Ke accidentally lost the money bag, thank you Mr. Huai for relieving Xiao Ke! Tang Zhun said gratefully!

"Hahaha! It's a trivial matter, not enough to worry about, just saw Tang Gongzi in a hurry, presumably he encountered some unexpected situation, there are often things that are lost and entangled on this road, fortunately, Tang Gongzi can get home not far ahead, and the old man is just a gesture! Di Renjie said kindly!

"Mr. Huai's great grace, Tang Zhun is unforgettable, when Mr. Huai is free, please be sure to go to Xilin Villa! Let Xiao Ke also do his best to fulfill the friendship of the landlord! Tang Zhun clenched his fists and said!
