Chapter 302, Bounty
The morning was sunny, Tang Jiusheng rode an inferior horse on the official road leading to Zijun Prefecture unhurriedly swayed, and he accidentally met a small Zhixian who went out to inspect, although the county was not small, the front and back hugged, the gong opened the way, because of the slow hiding, Tang Jiusheng almost suffered the stick of the errand officer, Tang Jiusheng really wanted to let the Zhixian roll down from the sedan chair and kneel, and after thinking about it, forget it, after all, he came out to beg for abuse.
Then Tang Jiusheng remembered the matter of sealing the king, looking at how beautiful and magnificent the prince of the Dashang country was, commanding in the fiefdom, and returning to the mansion with beautiful beauties hugging left and right, going out with a group of servants, hugging each other in front and back, pomp and circumstance, and bringing a group of martial arts masters behind him, for fear of being hurt a little bit.
Look at himself who is also a prince, he is simply the cheapest prince of Dashang, he can't stay in the fiefdom palace to enjoy happiness, but rides a broken horse, wandering around the rivers and lakes, looking for abuse. Why? It's not because of the Heavenly Mystery Formula.
The Nine Turns of Heaven Mystery that people love and hate, the Nine Turns of Heaven Mystery that was beaten by a master to ascend fast enough, and the Nine Turns of Heaven Mystery that can't be close to the female Nine Turns Heaven Mystery for the time being. Alas, the Nine Turns Heavenly Mystery Recipe created by Aunt Ling Nanying is really ruthless.
Before he reached Renxian County, his stomach was already growling, Tang Jiusheng said to himself, "It's time to have lunch!" and then lightly whipped the inferior horse under his crotch, "Man, work hard, we have to hurry up to eat!" The inferior horse struggled and went straight to Renxian County.
Renxian is a small county town, there are more than 130 miles of road in Junzhou City, I have lunch in Renxian, if you are ruthless, you can almost kill Zijunzhou City at night. However, looking at the weak inferior horse under his crotch, Tang Jiusheng smiled, forget it, this guy can't afford to toss like this, look at the map, Renxian County will walk more than sixty miles forward, there is a small market town, just spend the night there tonight.
After running on the official road for half an hour, Tang Jiusheng finally arrived outside Renxian County, the city wall of Renxian County was low, the city gate tower was not high, and there were several thin soldiers standing in front of the city gate, holding old rusty iron guns, looking at the people entering and leaving the city. Tang Jiusheng smiled secretly in his heart, he could starve the soldiers like this, it seemed that the county officials in this place must be very fat, and he didn't know how much oil he could boil.
Tang Jiusheng urged the inferior horse, passed through the low city gate, and came to Renxian City. A small county town, but only three streets and six lanes, Tang Jiusheng found a restaurant in the center of the city that looked good, and saw that the signboard said Douda's golden characters, Juxian Restaurant. Tang Jiusheng immediately remembered Zhu Juxian, jumped off the horse with a smile, and as soon as he took off the burden and carried it on his back, a young man immediately came over and took the horse away and tied it to the back trough.
Tang Jiusheng entered the door of the restaurant and saw that the first floor was full. Although he was thin and small, he looked very smart, with a towel on his shoulder, greeted him with a smile on his face, with an enthusiastic face: "Oh, this son, you haven't come to our restaurant for a long time, please come to the private room on the second floor!"
Tang Jiusheng has always disliked such false politeness, so he said casually, "Don't be so polite, this son is uncomfortable to listen to, but I am the first time to come back to your restaurant!" Tang Jiusheng went up to the second floor, didn't ask for a private room, but still found a small table by the window, and as soon as he sat down, Xiao Er handed over the recipe.
Tang Jiusheng didn't read the recipe, ordered a plate of sauced beef and a vegetarian dish, asked for a pot of hot rice wine, sat by the window and waited for the dishes. Generally, someone in the private room calls the girl who sings to come, and the restaurant can make money, but this person sitting outside obviously won't ask the girl to sing.
Waiting for the dishes, Tang Jiusheng looked around, there were three private rooms on the second floor of this restaurant, and there were people in one of the private rooms who were inviting guests to dinner, and there was a sound of a woman playing the pipa and singing, as if she was singing about her appearance, Tang Jiusheng was not very interested in these. Twisting his head to the side and looking again, there was a five in the hall on the second floor
There are two large tables, four small tables, and two large tables with guests.
At the big table inside, there were five scholars eating and drinking, and they were all from Zi Shiyun when they opened and closed. On another big table with guests, there are four men from the rivers and lakes, all with their own weapons, single knives, double knives, swords, short guns, and fist lines, so happy. Tang Jiusheng turned his head and looked out the window again, only to see that the Xu family restaurant on the opposite floor was deserted, there were few people, and the shopkeeper was sitting at the counter with a sad face.
Looking at the street again, there are all kinds of snacks sold, such as baked potatoes, fried tofu, cakes and steamed buns, and all kinds of sweets...... People come and go, lively and lively. Xiao Er quickly brought up the two dishes and rice wine, "Guest officer, your dishes are ready, guest officer use them slowly!" and went downstairs. Tang Jiusheng nodded, and didn't say much, sitting by the window, eating and drinking was not comfortable.
As he was eating, he suddenly heard someone behind him laugh and said: "According to me, even if you know that eating Tang Jiusheng's meat can increase your martial realm, what if you can?
Tang Jiusheng almost didn't squirt out a sip of wine, what? Eating my flesh can increase the martial realm? Looking back, it was a man who was drinking at the big table next to him, this man was of medium stature, wearing a gray coat, and there were two knives beside him.
I saw another man with a sword beside him and said with a smile: "Long Si, as the saying goes, when you are strong, you will be outwitted, and when you are weak, you will be captured! The rivers and lakes are deep, in case a big devil wants to eat Tang Jiusheng's meat, are you afraid that there is no way? We people who have ordinary martial arts should not think about it, but those who really have the ability, who have been stuck in the card realm for many years and can't break through, can break through the realm by eating Tang Jiusheng's meat, don't they want to try?"
Tang Jiusheng's surprise was not small, who made this rumor? As soon as he did this, he became a living ginseng that can walk in the eyes of the devils on the rivers and lakes, and I am afraid that he will not be at peace from now on! Tang Jiusheng stood up, came to the big table, and bowed his hand to a few men in the rivers and lakes, and smiled, "A few big brothers, the younger brother has also practiced martial arts for a few days, and I admire the people who know martial arts the most.
Tang Jiusheng wanted to get close, and then asked these men what was going on with eating Tang Jiusheng's meat to increase the martial realm, but those four men turned their faces and saw Tang Jiusheng, and they all changed color. The man with the double knife was frightened, looked Tang Jiusheng up and down, and said in a trembling voice: "Oh my God, isn't this the prince? Why did you come to such a small restaurant to eat! Ouch, the prince, Long Si kowtowed to you!"
The man with the double knife knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Tang Jiusheng, and the other three men also quickly knelt down, "Kowtow to the prince!" The five scholars who were drinking at the table inside turned their heads and stared at Tang Jiusheng with big eyes, not knowing what was going on.
Tang Jiusheng really didn't expect to be recognized by others so easily, Tang Jiusheng smiled a little embarrassed, "Four big brothers, please get up, do you recognize the wrong person......?"
Long Si, who used two knives, got up from the ground, grinned, and said respectfully: "Ouch, Lord Wang, if you want to say that your surname is Sheng, then it can't be wrong, you see!" As he spoke, he took out a large piece of paper from his arms and slowly unfolded it, with Tang Jiusheng painted on it, there were two images of Tang Jiusheng, and there were two images before and after the change, even the inferior horse and the burden he carried were not bad at all.
It is also noted in small block letters next to it that Tang Jiusheng claims to be surnamed Sheng. Those who provide news of Tang Jiusheng will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver, and those who can capture Tang Jiusheng alive will receive a reward of 5,000 taels, and the payment will be Wanhua Villa. Long Siyi pointed to the burden on Tang Jiusheng's table, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, even if you don't admit it, this burden can't be wrong!"
Tang Jiusheng gasped, and said in his heart, who is this? Is this not clear that it is trying to harm me? You have painted the image before and after I put on the skin, how familiar is this with me? After thinking about it, maybe it was Qiu Yunong, the bastard, who did it,
Don't leave ten, this guy can't get me, so he came up with such a bad idea to harm me! Tang Jiusheng smiled and said, "Since the eldest brother said so, can you lend me this painting to take a closer look?"
Long Si respectfully handed the painting to Tang Jiusheng, Tang Jiusheng took the painting, carefully examined it, the characters from their faces to demeanors, all the paintings were fine, this is obviously everyone's handiwork, Qiu Yunong really didn't have these two moments. Tang Jiusheng was puzzled, who is this? He can paint so well, obviously he has observed Tang Jiusheng up close, but Tang Jiusheng really can't remember who has sat so close to him.
Wu Xiaodie and He Yiming can obviously be excluded, and the two of them in the Ten Thousand Scorpion Villa also clearly said that they want to be friends, and it is not very likely that they will harm themselves, could it be that they are there in Shou'an Zhixian? But Zhixian obviously does not know martial arts, besides, he is crazy, framing a prince who can not only take off his official hat but also take off his head? Tang Jiusheng looked at this painting and fell into deep thought. The four people next to him didn't dare to sit down, they all stood aside and looked at Tang Jiusheng.
Long Si dared to ask, "Lord Wang, if you don't dislike it, at noon today, I, Long Si, will invite you to dinner!"
Tang Jiusheng shook his head and teased: "No need, I'll still make the dinner for me." The four eldest brothers don't have to be polite, please sit down first, today I will invite the four heroes to dinner, and when you chat and brag in the future, you can say in a dignified manner, Tang Jiusheng also invited us to drink!"
Several men laughed, and the tall thin man with a sword arched his hand and said: "Lord Wang, my name is Wei Qinghe, I am a native of Hedong Dao, and I have always admired the name of the prince for a long time, and I am really fortunate to meet today!"
Tang Jiusheng smiled, "Brother Wei, I'm glad to be happy! I'm not talking about a big name, it's just a false name!" Tang Jiusheng sighed, took the face off his face, and said with a wry smile: "Since people have already painted the image of me wearing a face and not wearing a face on it, then I simply don't wear a face skin!"
The four men looked at Tang Jiusheng's true face and cheered together, and Long Sisi laughed, "The prince is really handsome and chic, and the jade tree is in the wind, which is much more handsome than in this painting!"
The man in sackcloth with a short gun smiled and said: "Who said it wasn't!Oh, Lord Wang, my name is Yuan Lang, I am our Jiangnan Dao people, Lord Wang, you are in our Jiangnan Province where everyone knows, no one knows, I think back then, you were a young man in the civil and military double lift, and now you are the king with a different surname, you are simply the pride of our Jiangnan Province!"
Tang Jiusheng hurriedly said modestly: "Brother Yuan, I have won the award, my title of king is pure luck!" and a few more polite words with the four of them, Tang Jiusheng asked Xiao Er to serve the food again, and asked for two jars of good willow leaf green wine, and several people drank happily. Tang Jiusheng toasted to the four people, and the four of them were flattered and saluted Tang Jiusheng again.
Tang Jiusheng was drinking wine on the table, and his heart was not steady, what he really cared about was where this painting came from. Tang Jiusheng asked with a smile, "Fourth Brother Long, I just want to know, where did you get this bounty painting in your arms!"
Long Si was surprised: "Lord Wang, don't you know? I heard that since the day before yesterday, the martial arts people in the nearby counties have received this painting, saying that there are people who can find the prince, and they can use this painting to bring the exact news of the prince to the Wanhua Villa in Zijun Prefecture to receive a reward of 1,000 taels of silver." If you can capture the prince alive, the bounty will be even more, five thousand taels of gold!"
Tang Jiusheng smiled bitterly and quipped: "Well, this price is high enough, and it is very sincere, even I feel tempted when I listen to it, or I will tie myself up and exchange it for five thousand taels of gold flowers." ”
Long Si laughed, "Lord Wang, you are laughing, even if Wanhua Villa offers a reward of ten thousand gold? But who dares to kidnap the vassal king of the imperial court? Isn't that tantamount to a blatant rebellion?"
Tang Jiusheng shook his head, "Fourth Brother Long, under the heavy reward, there will be a brave man! When the price is reached, some people may be able to do anything!" Tang Jiusheng suddenly felt dizzy, and just said: "It's not good, the wine and food are poisonous ......" and fell on the table, Long Si and the other four people also felt that something was wrong, and they fell on the table one after another, and they didn't know who was going on. There was a table of five scholars in it whose faces were as frightened as earth.
