Chapter 17: The Funeral Car Blocks the Way

It is really a prosperous place, there are many small traders selling their goods on the roadside, most of them are handmade, or some exquisite hanger accessories, or oil-paper umbrellas with beautiful patterns, a large number of goods dazzle Tang Chen, these things must be very rare and valuable to sell in their market.

"General Lu!" Tang Chen shouted.

Lu Kangping rode forward and said in a cold tone: "Tang Gongzi, is there something wrong?" ”

"I see that this capital is prosperous, can I go down for a walk, I am bored in this carriage and suffocated!"

"I can't."

"Why!" Tang Chen blurted out.

Lu Kang said expressionlessly: "The task given to me by the general is to protect you, there are many people outside, and you can do whatever you want when you get to the general's mansion." ”

Tang Chen sighed: "What can happen here?" ”

"You killed the general of Jiang Liaoguo, the forces of all parties in the capital are complicated, it is inevitable that someone will be unfavorable to you, don't make trouble for me!"

Tang Chen had no choice but to give up, leaned out with great effort, took a basket of fruits handed over by the people who were stopped by the soldiers, and shouted thank you. Lu Kangping snatched it and handed the fruit to the person behind him, Tang Chen was just about to speak, Lu Kangping said: "Don't eat what others handed over!" ”

"Okay......" Tang Chen sat back in the carriage, and he was also very helpless about this guy.

The carriage stopped suddenly, because of inertia, Tang Chen's head hit the car in pain, which made him habitually cry out: "Oops! ”

He lifted the curtain on the carriage and looked out to see that there was a funeral procession, more than ten people in total. Tang Chen was still a little puzzled, how could this funeral procession appear so abruptly, and it was still in front of these generals.

The serious expression on Lu Kangping's face suddenly appeared, he rode up on horseback, drew his sword and shouted at those people, "Are you blind?" Dare to stand in our way, and don't dodge! ”

The leader waved his hand, and the funeral people were out of the way, Tang Chen and the others continued to walk forward, and inadvertently saw the leader staring at them with some anger in his eyes, clenching his fists as if to crush all the soldiers who were blocking their way. Walking further, his eyes fell on the brown-red coffin pulled by a simple wooden cart, and he felt uncomfortable for a while, and folded his hands and said, "No intention to disturb, no intention to disturb." ”

After walking for more than ten minutes to the general's mansion, Tang Chen got out of the carriage, and the first thing he saw was the black plaque made of golden silk nanmu with "Li Fu" written in golden block letters on the door, and several tigers were carved on the plaque, and the craftsmanship was almost perfect. Beneath the plaque are two vermilion gates, on which hang two dark gold beast-faced rings. Many people came out of the general's mansion to greet him, Lu Kangping took Tang Chen in, the size of this mansion suddenly made Tang Chen a little dumbfounded, in the courtyard there is a screen made of jade, carved with the tiger roaring mountain forest, the middle is the main hall, the two sides are side halls, and a lot of exotic flowers and plants are planted in the courtyard, which seems to be very well maintained. Walk around the back of the main hall with lots of maids' rooms and a back garden!

Seeing Tang Chen come back, Li Yong came out with his wife to greet him, and immediately laughed when he saw Tang Chen: "Madam, this is the Tang Chen I told you, that is, he killed the enemy generals on the battlefield with his own strength!" ”

"Sure enough, it's a hero out of a young man, I'm tired from the journey, hurry up and come in and sit!" Saying that, she instructed her subordinates to hurry up and prepare some tea to eat, and enter the main hall with Li Yong and Tang Chen. Compared with the luxury outside, the furnishings inside are a little simpler, there are two chairs made of golden silk nan wood in the middle, a good pear wood table, and the five chairs placed on each side are also quite particular about the materials.

Li Yong raised his glass of tea with some appreciative eyes: "This is really a day of not seeing you like every other three autumns, I have already arranged for the person you want to find, as long as he can be found soon in my country, you can live in my house with peace of mind." ”

At this time, a drunken young man came back from outside and broke into the main hall directly: "I heard that there is a distinguished guest at home today!" ”

Li Yong coughed, and the man's already drunken and confused eyes suddenly found that Li Yong was drinking tea, and quickly turned around and adjusted his already slightly twisted body: "Dad, I really didn't see you here......"

"That's it, where are you going to play today!"

"The boy went drinking with his friends and writing poetry."

Li Yong nodded: "It's okay to compose poetry, it's better to drink less, this is the Tang Chen that my father told you." After that, he looked at Tang Chen and said, "Tang Chen, this is my son Li Yunfei." ”

"Young Master Li is good."

"Yunfei, you two are of the same age, have more contact and learn from each other, Tang Chen single-handedly killed the general of Jiang Liaoguo on the battlefield, you can ask him for advice or two in terms of martial arts, and my son also has some research in poetry."

"Just a little bit about the skin."

"Li Gongzi is humble!"

"That's it!" Li Yong said: "I still have some important things to deal with today, you two will retreat first and rest well, and tomorrow Yunfei you will take Tang Chen around Beijing to understand the customs here." ”

"Yes!"

"Then Uncle Li, I'll go and rest first."

After Tang Chen and the others went out, Li Yong looked at Mrs. Li and said, "Help me call Lu Kangping in, and you can rest early." ”

After Lu Kangping came in, Li Yong closed the door and said to Lu Kangping: "The affairs of the Sun family, you take two people to deal with it, you just need to suppress the evil spirit, Chen Xun's affairs are very involved, you don't want to get involved." ”

"Yes."

Li Yong picked up a cup of tea and put it down again: "Also, I asked you to send someone to check on this Tang Chen's life experience, how is it going?" ”

"We've all asked about Yanguo's side, I'm afraid he came here from other countries, maybe it's a spy, you still have to be careful, I will let them continue to investigate."

Li Yong coughed: "Since you can't find it, don't check it." ”

"Why?" Lu Kangping seemed shocked by Li Yong's words.

Li Yong smiled and said: "No matter whether this person is a spy or what his identity is, I have to find a way to make him use it for me, that day in the small building, the two of us fainted and he was fine, and the generals said that they saw him holding the red aura in his hand, whether it was true or not, I think this person is talented." If you can't use it for me, you should make friends with them, and you should not make enemies. ”

"Red aura?" Hearing this word, Lu Kangping felt that this person was extraordinary, the aura in the hands of ordinary people was gray or white, the one that had learned a little bit was green, the more advanced one was blue, followed by purple, orange, and finally red! Even if your spiritual power is only above blue, you may only be purple if you try your best, and you won't be able to reach red no matter what!
