Chapter 4 The Tang Family
The Daimyo Guntown, one of the twenty-three counties of Tenchi Province, is located in the eastern part of the Daimyo Mountains and on the south bank of the Daimyo River.
This is a huge fortress-type city, more than 200 years ago here is the northern front line of Tianchi country, guarding the main road of water and land, perennial garrison of millions of soldiers, is the popular martial arts of the people, even after more than 200 years today, here is also an important place for recruiting and training troops in Tianchi country.
Tang Shi rushed back all the way from the depths of the Daimyo Mountain Range, and it took two full days to touch the edge of the county town, not because he was physically exhausted, but because he was not familiar with the terrain, the large forests on the periphery of the Daimyo Mountain Range were like a labyrinth, and it was almost the same everywhere he went, if he hadn't met a group of mercenaries who were also out of the mountain, maybe he was still wandering around the edge of the forest at this time.
As far as the eye can see, a thin black line divides the heavens and the earth in half, and the ends of the end cannot be seen.
As we got closer, the black dividing line thickened, revealing the tall city walls and the even more magnificent gates.
The whole body of the city wall is ink-colored, up to more than ten zhang, made of hard Moling stone, and the cold that blows on the face cannot be stopped even if the sun is shining.
Located in the middle of the castle wall, the gate is covered with uneven pits, which are traces of various siege equipment, witnessing the rise and prosperity of the daimyo fortress, and giving the standing daimyo county town a sense of history.
This is the west gate of the Daimyo County, there is an endless stream of people coming in and out, the Daimyo Fortress has been more than two hundred years ago, and the current Daimyo County is located in the inland of the northern part of Tianchi Country, and there is no threat of war, so the people who enter and exit will not be checked, and they can enter the city by paying five spirit coins per head.
Tang Shi followed behind the team, and soon crowded into the county town with the flow of people.
The appearance of the county town has a lot in Tang Shi's memory, but it is the first time for Tian Lingzi to experience it personally.
The entire Daimyo County is divided into three parts, the inner city, the outer city, and the urn city, Tang Shi now enters only the western urn city, which was placed in the past to prepare for war, and now it is transformed into a distribution center, where the transportation and trade of goods in and out are carried out, and most of those mercenaries are stationed in this place.
Tang Shi searched for the route in his memory, found a shop that sold spirit animal materials, disposed of all the materials on his body, and exchanged it for a lot of spirit coins.
The road in the county town was very wide, and Tang Shi walked on the road without the slightest feeling of crowding, and soon entered the outer city.
The outer city is divided into four in the south, east and west, built around the inner city, and is the busiest and lively place in the entire county town, not only ordinary people make a living here, but most of the industries of those big family forces are also concentrated here.
It took half a day for Tang Shi to pass through Xicheng and enter Beicheng, most of the Tang family's industries are concentrated in Beicheng, Tang Shi is a descendant of the Tang family, so he naturally lives in the Tang family.
The ancestral home of the Tang family.
There were two teams of guards standing at the gate patrolling back and forth, and Tang Shi saw the clearly armored guards from a distance.
The Tang family is one of the four major families of the Daimyo County, and the force they possess is naturally extremely huge, and the entire family has hundreds of teams of guards like this, and it is an expanded samurai army when pulled out!
"Tang, Tang, Tang Shi! That's, that's Tang Shi, the grandson of the Four Elders!"
One of the guards caught a glimpse of Tang Shi walking slowly not far away, pointed at him in surprise, and stammered.
"Hiss ——"
Someone also saw Tang Shi, "Miss Tang Yue came back two days ago and announced that he had fallen off the cliff, and theoretically he should not be able to survive, this is really a miracle!"
"Shhh, be quiet, the four elders have been angry about this in the past two days, he thinks that someone has framed Tang Shi, and the people above are panicked, and even the head of the family is a little overwhelmed. ”
"I think so, Tang Shicai refining the fifth layer of the body realm, with such strength, how dare no one lead him to enter the depths of the Daimyo Mountain Range alone, I think nine times out of ten there is a lot of luck!"
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, this kind of thing is not something we can discuss, just wait and see how it turns out. ”
One of the captains interrupted his men's discussions, straightened his armor, and strode up to meet him.
"Young Master Tang Shi, you have come back safely, the fourth elder has instructed, once you come back, please be sure to go to his old man's house first. ”
The captain of the guard said to Tang Shi very politely, they are all members of the Tang family, although they are also surnamed Tang, but the blood relationship is already very sparse, although Tang Shi's talent is not strong, but the etiquette can not be neglected.
"Well, I know!" Tang Shi replied expressionlessly, and stepped into the Tang family's ancestral house.
The ancestral house of the Tang family covers an extremely wide area, and the north-south direction occupies the most prosperous area in the center of the entire northern city, and more than one-tenth of the land belongs to the Tang family.
Tang Shi went all the way, and many people who knew him cast strange glances, and whispers came into their ears, and it seemed that everyone already knew that he Tang Shi was dead!
In my memory, Tang Shi's grandfather was called Tang Baizhe, and he was one of the few powerful elders of the Tang family.
Tang Baizhe has three sons, Tang Shi is Tang Baizhe's youngest grandson, although his own talent and strength are not outstanding, Tang Baizhe still takes great care of this grandson.
The ancestral house of the Tang family is divided into many areas, most of which can be unimpeded as long as the Tang family is unimpeded, and a few places need to be allowed to enter, of course, there are very few forbidden places.
The elder's residence is naturally a relatively important place, and ordinary people can't pass freely, but Tang Shi is the grandson of the four elders, and no one will stop him.
"Grandpa, grandson Tang Shi, goodbye!"
In an antique courtyard, Tang Shi respectfully bowed to the old man lying on a wicker chair on the ceiling not far away.
"Hmph, little rabbit cub, it's been more than ten days to leave," Tang Baizhe pretended to be angry, "Say, what the hell are you doing, Tang Yue's girl said you fell off the cliff?"
Tang Shi breathed a sigh of relief, this grandfather is really the same as in his memory, and he is still very spoiled by himself.
"Grandpa, then Tang Yue is a slut!" Tang Shi's face was full of grievances, and he gritted his teeth and wanted to eat Tang Yue alive.
"I accidentally found the Tianqiong tree, but there was a Tianqiong bee blocking it, and I was about to come back and ask my grandfather to go to the treasure together, who would have thought that Tang Yue and Li Shiyi would appear one after another, not only to divide the Tianqiong Jelly, but also to let me go to attract the queen bee. ”
"How can this be reasonable!" Tang Baizhe was immediately furious when he heard this, "Tang Yue must be held accountable for this matter, the same Tang family is actually coveted by outsiders to covet ink spiritual objects." ”
"Grandpa, that's not all. Tang Shi paused and continued, "I lured the queen bee out and forced me to be their cannon fodder, and in the end, Li Shiyi didn't want to share my heavenly elixir, and then even hit me hard, many branches were injured, and the internal injuries have not healed so far!"
"It's too much of a deception!" Tang Baizhe widened his eyes and slapped the jade coffee table on the side, shaking the good coffee table into powder.
