Chapter Eighty-Five: Five Levels in a Row (I)

When Tang led everyone back to the mansion, he told Sheva about the situation.

It turned out that once the Tang Dynasty controlled Wei Jian, it did not give him a chance to speak, but directly poured the red pill into it.

By the time Wei Jian understood the power of this red pill, he couldn't spit it out, and such a dignified prime minister was controlled by the Tang Dynasty.

Wei Jian is a person who understands current affairs, thinking that since the Tang Dynasty did not kill himself, it could be regarded as mercy to his subordinates, so he naturally did everything he was told, so he pretended not to do anything, and informed the whole family of the mansion, saying that there were thieves visiting Wei Mansion at night, and everything was fine.

After Tang Chao and the others returned home, they gathered in the secret room with a relaxed expression.

The letter praised first: "Brother Tang Xian, this time it went so smoothly, thanks to you!" ”

Sheva and the others also praised one after another, and Zhuan Ren said: "Brother Tang Xian, when we were by the lotus pond, we had inadvertently touched the alarm device, you, why did you continue to move forward?" ”

Tang Dynasty smiled slightly: "Soldier God!" We were so far away from where Wei Jian lived at the time, and it would be a pity if we gave up halfway, so I went deeper, but now that I think about it, we are actually quite dangerous! ”

"Why, what danger do we have?" ”

Tang Chao said: "Think about it, if I knew that there was a master like Li Nanjing in Wei Jian's mansion, I would never dare to take the risk, after all, this is Wei Jian's lair, he is a hundred times more familiar with the environment than us, and it will be easy to mobilize the family, besides, when we enter the tunnel to chase Wei Jian, if we encounter a master like Li Nanjing hiding in the dark and sneaking attack, the possibility of our casualties and even the annihilation of the whole army is very high, this is indeed an extremely dangerous thing." ”

A look of appreciation appeared in Sheva's eyes: "There is a question, I have not been able to figure it out, why can you judge that Wei Jian is in the tunnel under him?" ”

Tang Chao said: "This matter is very easy, think about it, since the spies reported that Wei Jian slept in the study on the edge of the lotus pond every night, this information is accurate, then, we came to the study so quickly, but we couldn't see the shadow of a person, it can naturally be concluded that he either didn't sleep here, or just left, and I immediately touched the bed, and felt that there was still warmth in the bed, which is enough to conclude that there were still people sleeping just now, almost certainly Wei Jian slept on this bed just now, just heard the alarm of the lotus pond." , and then immediately fled. ”

The letter said: "At this time, you think that there is an authenticity? ”

"Yes, the area of the study is not large, and there are no connected houses around, since I didn't see him flee outside, then he must have escaped from the tunnel, so I immediately opened his bed to check, sure enough, there was a tunnel under his bed, so I gave up my life to chase after him!"

Sheva said with admiration: "When I rebelled before, I knew that I lost in your hands, just because your judgment was very accurate, and I didn't make a single mistake, I didn't expect you to live such a comfortable life in the Tang Dynasty, and your head was still as flexible as before!" ”

He was telling the truth, if it weren't for the Tang Dynasty, maybe the current king of Nanzhao would be Wolf Zhengxuan or Sheva, not Li Gesang.

Tang Chao shook his hand again and again, and said modestly: "I dare to chase him immediately, that is, I am bullying Wei Jian who does not know martial arts, and he is old again, I expect that although he is familiar with the terrain, he will not escape quickly, if I know that there are masters like Li Nanjing under him, I will never dare to continue to chase." ”

Sheva nodded slowly: "You are right, Li Nanjing is indeed a top master, martial arts have entered the realm, he sneaked up on you on the road to Shandong that time, if it weren't for his self-respecting identity, maybe he would have succeeded, Tang Dynasty, what do you think?" ”

Tang Chao thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "What my father-in-law said is possible, but I think that even if he directly attacked me at that time, the possibility of success is very small." ”

Sheva naturally knew that during this time, the light skills of the Tang Dynasty seemed to be like divine help, advancing by leaps and bounds, but when he thought of Li Nanjing's martial arts, he still wondered in his heart: "Why do you say that?" ”

Tang Chao smiled and said: "Father-in-law, have you forgotten that I am wearing rattan armor, even if he makes a surprise attack on me, I will only be injured at most, and my life will not be in danger?" ”

"Oh!" Everyone suddenly laughed, indeed, although the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty are not yet on par with the most powerful masters in the world, the ability to protect themselves is indeed possessed. Even if he meets a master like Li Nanjing, he can at least resist dozens of moves without the danger of his life, and he is happy for him.

I only heard Tang Chao say: "Everyone, do you know why Li Nanjing gave up his position as the leader of the beggar gang this time and came to Beijing alone?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, shook their heads slightly, and Tang Chao said: "I don't know what the reason is, but I think there must be a very important reason for this, a master like Li Nanjing, calling for wind and rain in South China, a dominant family, he is a man in the rivers and lakes, and he can't afford to wade into the muddy water of the capital, he came to the capital, maybe he really came to assassinate me at the invitation of Wei Jian, but I always feel very strange, even if Wei Jian can invite a master like him for a while, but he can't always stay at home, like a slave family call, But the strange thing is that this man has been living in Wei Jian's mansion, as if he were his retainer, why do you think this is? ”

Sheva thought for a long time and said, "I'll meet him!" ”

Tang Chao hurriedly stopped: "Don't do it, father-in-law, this person respects his identity, once he doesn't talk speculation, it is inevitable to do it, and when the time comes, you will be alone, which is very inappropriate, in this way, you go down to rest first, I will go to see someone first, and after seeing it, I will inquire about the news of the court by the way, and then decide to deal with Li Nanjing!" ”

Everyone respected him together, showing respect for him, the marshal of the soldiers and horses of the Nanzhao world.

As soon as they got out of the secret room, Tang Chao and Zhuan Xin went straight to Mrs. Qiu's house, because Tang Dynasty knew that they would definitely be able to find Yang Guozhong, a gambler and prostitute, there.

As soon as I heard that it was the Tang Dynasty that was now red and purple, Mrs. Qiu Guo dressed up, raised the two ** high, and met him in the living room, and Yang Guozhong was really present.

Tang Chao sneered in his heart, this Mrs. Qiuguo is too bold, just as a married woman, she openly left her cousin Yang Guozhong in the mansion, and she was too debauched?

But this is not the time to think about these questions, and said: "Brother Yang, the younger brother knows that you must be here when you are fine, so I came to you directly, the younger brother is really a little presumptuous, but I am in a hurry to inquire about one thing, you walk on the rivers and lakes, how much do you know about people in the martial arts?" ”

Indeed, Yang Guozhong, who has been mixing in the rivers and lakes for a long time, can indeed be said to be a know-it-all.

Yang Guozhong showed a worldly smile on his face, looked at the glamorous Mrs. Qiuguo's resentful eyes, and said with a smile: "Big brother, I, I am not often here, today I am here to thank Mrs. for her promotion, what do you want to inquire, Brother Wei does know a lot about things on the rivers and lakes." ”

Tang Chao didn't have time to ask what to thank Mrs. Qiuguo, so he only said: "That's the case, I recently met a very powerful martial arts figure on the Tao, named Li Nanjing, and his subordinates felt very difficult to deal with, and I want to hear the details of this person from my eldest brother?" ”

When Yang Guozhong heard this, a very surprised look appeared on his face: "You, virtuous brother, you, you actually fought with him, and you can still live to speak?" ”

This sentence seems a little abrupt, but people who know Li Nanjing's ability all give a thumbs up to the Tang Dynasty, Yang Guozhong naturally knows that Li Nanjing is fine, and he said without waiting for the Tang Dynasty to speak: "Li Nanjing, this person, in the martial arts of South China, almost everyone knows, I heard that since his debut, he has fought hundreds of battles and has not tasted defeat, and has become the most negative hero at that time, you see that the martial arts of the brother now are naturally much inferior to people like Ma Zhengzhang, but they can still fight with ordinary masters of the rivers and lakes, just because of his guidance! ”

Tang Chao nodded secretly, no wonder, no wonder Yang Guozhong is a gentleman, and his martial arts are excellent, it turns out that this is the case.

I only heard Yang Guozhong continue: "I heard that the reason why he became the leader of the beggar gang was not his intention, he just had a chivalrous heart and wanted to rectify a gang with dirty but great potential, so he joined the beggar gang." ”

The Tang Dynasty was very strange: "Haven't the beggars always had a chivalrous name?" ”

Yang Guozhong said with a smile: "These beggars formed a gang, although from time to time there are robberies of the rich and help the poor, but most of them are selfish and self-interested, relying on a few martial arts, rampant everywhere, selling illegal salt, some are even more open fire robbery, murder and goods, lawless, and Lingnan Miao and Dong these gold and silver mine owners colluded, occupied silver, monopolized coastal trade, the momentum was very grand, the court used force several times to no avail, when the imperial army arrived, these people disappeared, but once the army withdrewNow the imperial court spends too much on the military in Lingnan, I heard Mrs. Qiu Guo say that the emperor wants to withdraw the imperial army in Lingnan, and let those ethnic minorities in Lingnan compete for gold and silver by themselves, no matter what! ”

Mrs. Yu Guo interjected with a giggle: "Brother Yang, I didn't say that this was said by the emperor, I heard from Yang Yuhuan's sister, she said that the emperor was very troubled by this matter, but he couldn't think of a way to solve the problem, and he said that he wanted to withdraw the army. ”

When Tang Chao heard Yang Yuhuan, he didn't know why, and a hot feeling suddenly rose in his heart: "Yang, concubine, is she okay now?" ”

Mrs. Yu Guo pursed her lips and smiled, and threw a wink at Tang Chao: "What, Lord Tang, you also care about my sister, I'm going to be jealous?" ”

Yang Guozhong's face sank, Yu Guo was actually in his heart, it was his forbidden belly, but in front of himself and Tang Dynasty**, this was originally the nature of Mrs. Yu Guo, but his face was finally a little unbearable: "Third Brother Tang, in this way, Brother Wei is now addicted to alcohol, why don't we go outside and drink hard, and by the way, talk about the things on the rivers and lakes?" ”

Yang Guozhong's face, Mrs. Qiu Guo immediately saw it, and also felt that what she said just now seemed to be a little debauched, and said curtly: "Okay, you men are good to talk about, go!" ”

didn't keep it, and there was a trace of fear in her gorgeous face.

The Tang Dynasty was very strange, Mrs. Yu was very powerful, why was he afraid of such a small gambler as Yang Guozhong?

But he couldn't think about it so much, and he smiled and arched his hand: "Tang Dynasty farewell, and I will come to visit Mrs. another day." ”
