In Da Sima's study, Tang Kuan faced An Guogong and sat on the seat in a proper manner.

An Guogong Tang Qiong sat on the couch expressionlessly, his left arm bent on the table, his left leg crossed, his right leg standing, his right arm pressed on his knee, and his body tilted towards Tang Kuan.

Although An Guogong looked relaxed, he still exuded a strong aura of not being angry and arrogant, and it was the aura of life and death orders brought back from the battlefield.

Tang Mei walked in with Su Bottle.

The usually high-spirited lord of Loulan also changed when she saw her father, although she still maintained her usual posture of holding her chest and head high, but she lacked that domineering spirit, giving people a sense of well-behaved. She saluted her father Wanfu, Su Bottle intervened to salute An Guogong, and then Su Bottle followed Tang Mei and sat at the same table with Tang Kuan.

The air seemed to freeze, and after dozens of heartbeats, the father and daughter did not speak. On the contrary, it was Tang Kuan who broke the ice and spoke and introduced Su Bottle to Tang Qiong.

The Shence Army snatched 800,000 taels from the Su family, and Tang Qiong knew about it. But he didn't show embarrassment, but said in a big way that when the national disaster was at hand, the Su family ruined the family to relieve the difficulties, which is really rare, and only such a good son of the family is worthy of being my aunt.

Then Tang Kuan said that Su Bottle is quite poetic, and won the first place at the wedding banquet of the lord of Chengfeng County a while ago, and the poem is now widely sung in Luoyang, and it is said that the emperor has also seen it and praised it.

Tang Qiong lowered her eyebrows, stroked her beard lightly, and nodded slightly.

Tang Kuan also said that this Su bottle went to the county to be the head of the fast arrest team, quite meritorious, and was soon transferred to the criminal department, and went to the criminal department to make great achievements, repeatedly solved major cases, the emperor approved the eight products, and gave a special silverfish bag.

Tang Qiong looked at Su Bottle approvingly and nodded again.

Tang Kuan also said that during the trial marriage, Su Beifu was idle at home, so he made some inventions, which could change coarse salt into fine salt, and the quality of fine salt was good. Tang Kuanzheng was discussing the matter of selling salt with the servants of Shangshu Province, but the servants did not dare to call the shots, and they had to wait for the emperor's will.

Tang Qiong was quite interested in this topic and decided to talk to the emperor in person.

I don't know how Tang Qiong beat Tang Mei dumb back then, she just didn't speak. Hasn't she done a good job of psychological construction? Isn't it, she's waiting for her father to take the initiative to talk to her?

Su Bottle peeked at Tang Mei, she pressed her hands in front of her and pinched hard.

Perhaps at this time, Miss Six was trying to convince herself that when the study fell silent again, it was her time to speak.

But then Downing walked in.

The No. 2 person in the Tang clan, the Marquis of Wuding, the secretary of the military department, the conversation between him and Tang Qiong, I am afraid it is inconvenient for others to hear. But Tang Qiong didn't let everyone go out, but talked to Tang Ning as if they were at home.

During the conversation, it was learned that after the end of the war, Zhao Guang, the prince of Junlong, the director of the Western Expeditionary Army, submitted a petition to remove all military posts and ask to change his title to avoid the ridicule of the Bandung Emperor. The emperor allowed him to step down, but did not change his title and continued to call him King Long.

Tang Ning came this time, and it didn't seem that there was anything important to talk about, or perhaps, seeing that Tang Qiong did not retreat from others, Tang Ning swallowed back what he wanted to say. Soon after, he got up and took his leave.

Tang Ning's arrival gave Tang Mei time to brew her emotions, and now she was full of emotions, as soon as Tang Ning left, she cried out, saying that she hadn't spoken to her father for two years, and her daughter was not filial.

Hearing this, Tang Qiong laughed loudly, and the fourth son, Tang Kuan, also smiled.

……

"Your father's title, your father has granted it."

When she was in the study, Tang Mei didn't mention it, and later at the reception banquet, she sat next to Tang Qiong and whispered about it. At that time, Tang Qiong just nodded and didn't say anything else.

After the dinner was over, he returned to the county lord's mansion, and the proud county lord returned to his usual appearance, walked into the Mei Pavilion with his head held high, and sat on the couch.

Perhaps, it is the towering bun above her head that gives people the illusion that she always feels that she is holding her head high.

As soon as she said a word, she loosened her shoulders as if she had unloaded her burden, and said triumphantly: "Daddy won't do such a trivial matter himself, and it is estimated that he will let the fifth uncle do it." The fifth uncle handed the excerpt to the Ministry of Rites and recommended your father as a baron. The Ministry of Rites will present the fold to the Emperor. I estimate that the emperor will approve your family's merit and my Tang family's recommendation. ”

After speaking, she looked at Su Bottle as if she was invited, "Shouldn't you thank me?" ”

Su Blinked: "I don't know how the county lord wants me to be grateful?" ”

Donmera's face sank: "How do you want me to thank me?" What else does that mean? Co-author, don't you thank me in your heart? ”

Su Bottle raised his eyebrows, and said in a strange voice: "Thank you, I thank you so much." The county lord is really a great kindness. How can we not be grateful for such a vast kindness? I've decided! ”

"What did you decide?"

"I'll give you a sesame seed."

"Su Baoyu! Stop! ”

Su Bottle ran away, and the county lord chased after him.

The county lord's mansion is still quite big, Su Bottle trotted all the way, turned a few corners, thinking that Tang Mei would not catch up, but after a little relaxation, he heard footsteps behind him. Turning his head, the county lord gritted his teeth and came, less than two feet away.

Su Bei was startled, and went from the North Moon Gate of the East Chamber, and ran from the South Moon Gate of the East Chamber, and ran to the Mei Pavilion Compound, Tang Mei still refused to give up. Su Bottle ran to the small courtyard of the West Chamber, ran through the wing, ran through the well, and ran through the stable......

"You can't run away today! I've done you so much, you're going to give me a sesame seed? How dare you play tricks on me! ”

"I said I'll give you a car, do you believe it?"

"Man, make money to buy!"

"I want to sell salt, but you refuse to help me go through the warehouse procedures, where can I make money?"

Looking upstairs, a swordsman held his sword and looked at the two people chasing downstairs.

The maids in the house, some leaning against the window, some hiding in the moon gate, gathered together in three or two, pointing, whispering, and suddenly laughing.

The county lord is a persistent person who will not give up easily, Su Bottle does not stop, she keeps chasing, but suddenly, she finds that Su Bottle is gone.

"Su Baoyu, where are you hiding? You come out for me! ”

Su Bottle hid on the roof and made a "shhh" gesture at the swordsman of the watchtower, but the swordsman was silent, simply pretending not to see it, looking left and right.

Tang Mei couldn't find anyone, so she went to rummage in the stables and haystacks, looking for people to no avail, muttering something in her mouth, and went back to the house angrily.

……

North City, in a basement, cold and damp. The only advantage of this is that there are no jailers to guard it.

The people hiding here did not have an easy time, Dugu Feng changed into a set of inconspicuous clothes, secretly went to the street to buy some food and brought it back, and put it on Long Tiangang's sickbed. Long Tiangang's face was pale, his lips were chapped, and he fell there without saying a word.

Long Tiangang was shocked by Su Bottle's palm and his internal organs were damaged, thanks to his profound skills, otherwise he would have to give his life to the Daozheng Fang. Now Long Tiangang only hated himself for underestimating the enemy, and at the same time complained a little. complained that Wang Shuangxi was in a hurry to urge Long Tiangang, who had not recovered his skills, to make a move that day.

You must know that the battle with Chen Qianyi caused Long Tiangang to lose at least three layers of strength, otherwise how could he be seriously injured.

After Long Tiangang was seriously injured, he was scolded by Wang Shuangxi and asked for the deposit to be returned. Dugu Feng was furious and pointed at Wang Shuangxi. But Wang Shuangxi had a bald man by his side, with extraordinary force, and stopped Dugufeng.

Long Tiangang took out the deposit and returned it to Wang Shuangxi, only saying that he failed to complete the task and had no face to collect the money. Wang Shuangxi took the money, spit out a mouthful of sticky phlegm, and left.

Since then, their senior brothers and sisters have been hiding in this North City, just waiting for Long Tiangang to recover, and then make plans.

Once, Long Tiangang didn't plan to leave Niutou Mountain, thinking that he had made money and brought it back to the mountain to rebuild the Taoist temple for his master. But now that he is penniless and seriously injured, how can he have the face to go back?

"Brother Long, I remember that there are several lay disciples who are from Luoyang. Otherwise, I'll go find them. If they still remember Master's love, they will help us. ”

Dugu Feng still has less than three hundred yuan left in his pocket, which is really not enough to do anything.

Of course, Long Tiangang knew the current situation, and nodded helplessly.

Luoyang City, there are Jianghu teahouses in the north and south cities, the Jianghu teahouse in Nanshi is created by the "Quartet", and the Jianghu teahouse in Beishi is created by the "Silver Snake Gang", which is Tingfeng Pavilion.

Tingfeng Pavilion is a total of five floors, tea house, restaurant, accommodation in one, business is booming. Dugufeng ran there to inquire about the rivers and lakes. But it costs money to inquire about things, so she took out 200 yuan and put it on the counter.

Zhang Fakui looked at the two hundred yuan in a low mood, looked up at Dugufeng, and asked lazily, "What do you want to inquire about?" ”

Dugu Feng said: "I want to inquire about the people of Dugu Sect in Luoyang City." ”

Zhang Fakui asked, "What are you looking for them for?" ”

Dugu Feng said: "I am also a Dugumen person, I ...... I've lost my purse, and I'm going to ask them for help. ”

Zhang Fakui sighed and put the money away: "As far as I know, there are indeed a few Dugumen people in Luoyang City, but they are either not good at learning or have a bad fate, some are hacked to death, some quit the rivers and lakes, and only one who opened a martial arts hall was arrested by Jingzhao Mansion three years ago." His name is ...... It's called ......, hey, the third child, what's the name of the apprentice of the captured Dugu Jian? ”

Zhang Fakui turned his head to ask the third child who was squatting behind the counter to sharpen his knife, and the third child shouted without looking back: "Fu Daotong!" ”

Zhang Fakui smiled a little ashamedly, and said suddenly: "Oh, yes, yes, Fu Daotong." Then he looked at Dugu Feng lazily and said, "If you want to find the same door, go to Jingzhaofu Prison to find it." ”

Dugufeng felt that the two hundred dollars were spent in vain, and the girl was aggrieved and pursed her mouth.

Although the girl has been living in the mountains, she has never been poor since she was a child, and now she is down the mountain, full of joy, thinking that with her brother Long's martial arts, she can show her strength and live a better life, but now she is so down, she can't help but feel sad.

Zhang Fakui looked at the girl's face and then at his hand: "Want to make money?" ”
