Chapter 32, the extinct divine beast
At noon, the dart team entered Yujiang County, and the guys from the front station of the dart bureau found a more reliable old restaurant. There was food and soup for lunch, everyone was eating sweetly, a galloping yellow horse suddenly stopped outside the restaurant, a young fat man of medium height, flat appearance, small eyes, and a watermelon hammer on the saddle jumped off the horse, and the shopkeeper just took the reins of the horse, and the young fat man broke into the store in a hurry.
The young fat man entered the door of the restaurant, and saw Ximen Yushuang and Tang Jiusheng and others at a glance, and hurriedly ran over, "Old Tang, Old Tang, Brother Tang, great! You are still alive! Ouch, I'll go, I want to die fat man!" The fat man ran over and hugged Tang Jiusheng's neck affectionately, Tang Jiusheng was still chewing rice in his mouth, and when he hugged him like this, not only was he speechless, but he was almost choked, and he suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
After the heat passed, the fat man took two steps back, looked at Tang Jiusheng, and said with a hippie smile: "Look at you jumping around, I am really happy to be fat! Oh, I will go to his uncle, a few days ago, I knew that the Shendaomen offered a reward of a thousand gold to buy your head, and I heard that you were seriously injured, I was really panicked, I ran all the way to catch up, and killed two horses, for fear that you would have some accident with Old Tang, otherwise even if I came here, I would only be able to collect your body!"
Tang Jiusheng swallowed the food that almost choked on him, and a friend came from afar to help, his heart was very warm, he put down his chopsticks and punched the fat man, "Dead fat man with no mouth, you guy cursed me, for fear that your Brother Tang would not die?" It's okay, your Brother Tang has a great life, and there are so many brothers who are worried about support, it seems that he can't die before he is a hundred years old. Chubby, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Move a chair and sit down, and we'll talk after dinner. β
Ximen Yushuang stood up with a smile and said hello to the fat man, and quickly moved a chair for the fat man, and the fat man sat down with a big grin. Yin Sheng and Wen Tianlong, who were sitting at the same table with Tang Jiusheng to eat, and Shui Ruyue, who was sitting next to Tang Jiusheng, also stood up and greeted the fat man.
Tang Jiusheng didn't wait for the introduction, the fat man glanced at Shui Ruyue and praised: "Oh, this is your little junior sister, my eldest sister-in-law, right? Old Tang, I really envy you, the two daughters-in-law are more beautiful than the other, your kid's life is really good, you are a full man and don't know how hungry a man is hungry, when will I introduce a person to the fat man?"
Tang Jiusheng was angry and funny, and said to everyone, "This lazy guy is my buddy, the big name is Jiang Zhenyu, the nickname Jiang Xiaopang, the nickname Jiang Bu Spicy from the Jianghu people, the same age as me, two months younger than me." Let me introduce you to the heroic deeds of this goods, this dead fat man often wets the bed when he was seven or eight years old, once he competed with me, and he cried when he was kicked in the ass, or I bought two strings of sugar gourds and coaxed them for a long time, and once ......"
Everyone laughed, the fat man looked ashamed, and said hurriedly, "Old Tang, old Tang, we are not bad friends, don't we want to go through old accounts, you see you are in front of so many people, especially the presence of beautiful women, you praise me! Fat man, I have so many wise and martial deeds, why do you have to mention such embarrassing things as wetting my bed and crying my nose?"
Tang Jiusheng smiled and said: "Okay, then I'll praise you, everyone has seen it, this dead fat man in the wind of Yushu next to me can eat more than 100 steamed buns and more than 20 bowls of porridge in one meal......" Tang Jiusheng hadn't finished speaking, the fat man was really anxious, and quickly stopped Tang Jiusheng from continuing to speak, with a sad face, "Old Tang, old Tang, I'm really a bad friend! Where can I eat more than 100 steamed buns in one meal, fat man, I only ate more than 70!"
Ximen Yushuang had already smiled and leaned back, so she had to lie on Shui Ruyue's shoulder, "You two, what kind of martial arts are you practicing?
The shopkeeper brought a big bowl of rice to the fat man, the fat man took the bowl and shook his head, shook off his cheeks, ate it by dividing it by two, and handed the rice bowl to the shopkeeper who hadn't had time to turn around, "Little second brother, it's not enough, this bowl is too small, you bring me a pot!"
The shopkeeper looked horrified, his tongue stuck out and didn't retract for a long time, thinking, "Ouch, my mother, did this little fat man pour this bowl of rice directly into his throat?" Tang Jiusheng couldn't help but laugh, "Little second brother, please bring two small pots of rice, let this fat man serve his own rice, he can't eat enough." β
Yin Sheng, who was sitting on the side, was overjoyed when he saw this, "This Brother Jiang is a cheerful person at first glance! Interesting, interesting, refreshing words, amazing appetite, really a strong man!"
The fat man was praised by others, squinting his little eyes and smiling happily. The shopkeeper really brought two small pots of rice, and the fat man said vaguely while putting the rice in his mouth: "Old Tang, old Tang, who is this handsome brother?" β
Tang Jiusheng said with a smile: "I originally wanted to wait for you to finish eating before introducing you, this Brother Yin's family education is extremely strict, and he pays attention to sleeping without saying a word. This is the Yin Sheng Yin Gongzi I told you about, and my big white horse was given to me by him. β
When the fat man heard this, he nodded while eating, "Okay, okay, I like such a bold man, what is that, Yin Gongzi, after eating for a while, you will also send me a big white horse? β
Yin Sheng laughed, "Brother Jiang is a funny person, and Brother Tang Xian's friends can't be wrong." Okay, let's change horses and make friends in a while. β
The fat man asked Tang Jiusheng while picking up the rice in his mouth, "Old Tang, what was your mount at that time?
Tang Jiusheng smiled mysteriously, "Your Brother Tang is low-key, how can you ride a horse when walking the rivers and lakes? I was riding an extinct divine beast - a mule!"
The fat man almost didn't spray the rice on Tang Jiusheng's face, "Old Tang, you come out and ride a mule on the road?" You are also the son of a dignified national teacher's mansion, and you have to get a decent mount to smash pots and sell iron, aren't you? In the future, people in the rivers and lakes will mention the famous Minglong Sword Master, saying that when you mixed the rivers and lakes, you will ride a mule and run out, and we can't afford to lose this person?"
Tang Jiusheng patted the fat man's shoulder and said sarcastically: "Fat brother, are you a layman again? If you Brother Tang will become famous in the future, people in the rivers and lakes will know that we rode mules in the rivers and lakes back then, and the price of the mule will rise, understand? The mount is a mule is nothing, in Tongque Mountain, we fought each other, and the Yanling knife I used was bought for five taels of silver." What's the matter, have these delayed brother heroes save the United States?"
The fat man had already finished eating a pot of rice, and swept the dishes on the table, even the soup, Wen Tianlong hurriedly asked people to serve another table of dishes, everyone watched the fat man eat, they were all dumbfounded, and the fat man continued to gobble up if there was no one next to him.
The fat man gave a thumbs up while eating, "Old Tang, you are a cow, but I guess this may have something to do with the face, you see, you saved your sister-in-law Ximen Yushuang, people are willing to make a promise, if you replace it with a fat man, I will save it, it is estimated that the hero's great kindness cannot be repaid, and I am willing to be a cow and a horse in the next life." β
Ximen Yushuang sneered and laughed out loud, the fat man raised his head and looked at Ximen Yushuang, turned his face to Tang Jiusheng and said with a resentful expression: "Look, look, I said it! The eldest sister-in-law heard me say this, her face turned red at that time, these girls must think so, alas, don't say anything, just complain that our parents didn't give birth a good face!"
Tang Jiusheng laughed, "You can eat quickly, everyone is waiting for you!"
After eating, the thin dart master Fang Yingjun went to settle the account, and the dart team got up and prepared to rush to the next stop.
When the fat man got up, he saw Zhao Lingzun, he was stunned for a moment, looked up and down, and praised, "Oh, this uncle is a master? It seems that he already has a first-class martial arts realm? This belongs to the level of a cow in the rivers and lakes, at least he can enter the top thirty and the top forty! What, what is this uncle's surname? When we have time, let's have a discussion? Fat man, I just like masters!"
Yin Sheng smiled and introduced to the fat man, "This uncle's name is Zhao Lingzun, and he is a master of the first-grade martial arts realm. The fierce-looking Zhao Lingzun grinned innocently and touched the fat man's head, "This little fat man is interesting, okay, let's have a trick tonight." The fat man was overjoyed, "If you want it, you have to get it!"
Yin Sheng brought his majestic big black horse over, and had to change mounts with the fat man, the fat man scratched his head, and smiled embarrassedly: "Yin Gongzi, I'm just joking with you, don't be serious, a gentleman doesn't win people's love, don't win people's love!"
Yin Sheng laughed and patted the fat man on the shoulder, "Brother Jiang Fat, I can't hide it, my brother really likes your horse, come, let's change horses and ride." So the two of them changed horses, Yin Sheng rode the fat man's big yellow horse, and the fat man rode Yin Sheng's big black horse.
The guy from the dart bureau bought some steamed buns and baked cakes at the steamed bun stall on the street, and kept them to eat on the road. β
Tang Jiusheng smiled and asked Ximen Yushuang to go to the baked cake stall next to him to buy more than a hundred baked cakes, the owner of the baked cake stall was so happy that he closed the stall directly after lunch, how good would it be to have two more customers like this every day?
The dart team set off again, Tang Jiusheng did not take a carriage, but rode a black unicorn, and chatted with Yin Sheng, the fat man and his two fiancΓ©es while walking, of course, Tang Jiusheng also had to observe the structure and layout of this city, etc.
Yujiang County is very large, known as the first county of Jiannan Province, naturally extremely prosperous, but Tang Jiusheng not only observed its prosperity, but also considered its strategic location and tactical significance, one day, the imperial army and the rebels of the King of Pingxi were at war, and these large and small cities could decide the life and death of both the enemy and us.
Of course, Tang Jiusheng hoped in his heart that the two sides would never go to war, and if the war started, the smoke would be everywhere, the people would be displaced, and lives would be ruined everywhere. However, some people do not give up their ambitions and greed because they love peace, so on the one hand, they must have good intentions in their hearts, and on the other hand, they must recognize the reality. Good, but never foolish.
Tang Jiusheng, who was looking around, suddenly said, "Fatty, you also have to learn the art of war when you have time, don't just stare at practicing martial arts." The fat man looked at Tang Jiusheng suspiciously, "What's the matter, Old Tang wants to fight?"
Tang Jiusheng smiled, "We don't want to fight, others may not think like this, after practicing the martial arts of ten thousand enemies, and then learning the art of war of ten thousand enemies, it is not a bad thing, as the saying goes, be prepared." By the way, how about coming back there, have the brothers settled down in Dangyang County?"
The fat man put the hammer on his shoulder and smiled, "The address of the barracks has been chosen, and the camp is being built quickly." It's just that there will be more soldiers in the future, so where will a small Dangyang county be placed? Maybe in the future, we will have to put most of the troops in Tongque Mountain Dazhai. β
Wen Tianlong, who was leading the team in front, slowed down and joined the chat, "Tang Gongzi, we should stay in Puping Town for the night tonight, no accidents, work hard, and we will be able to reach Huzhou Mansion tomorrow night." β
Tang Jiusheng nodded and said with a smile, "Well, it's quite quiet to come out today, there are no robbers, only those who come to give gifts." β
The convoy soon left Yujiang County, and walked more than 20 miles along the official road, which was already steep, with rolling hills on both sides, and the dart masters of the dart team began to be vigilant.
The team walked five miles along the steep official road, and suddenly there was a tiger roar on the hill in front of them, and the earth trembled, and a few timid horses were about to run wildly, and the powerful dart masters and men in the dart team desperately grabbed the reins of the horses and calmed the frightened horses. There were two very manic horses that were forcibly pulled by the fat man and Zhao Lingzun one by one.
At this moment, a large white tiger jumped down from the hill in front of it and landed firmly in the middle of the road, just blocking the way of the dart team. This majestic white-haired tiger weighs more than 1,000 catties, with eyes like copper bells and a bloody mouth.
The strange thing is that on the back of the tiger is a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, with a lovely face, wearing a white gauze robe, barefoot, and holding a budding lotus flower bone in her hand, like an elf who has fallen into the mortal world.
The white-haired tiger roared at the dart team again, and dozens of horses were so frightened that they fell to their knees on the ground, only the unicorn horse that Tang Jiusheng rode had no fear of the tiger.
The fat man jumped off the horse, angrily kicked the black horse who was so frightened by the tiger that he couldn't stand on his knees, and rushed with a hammer to the ground, "Oh, I'll go, a white-haired stinky tiger will be a cow?
The little girl riding the tiger patted the tiger's back affectionately, "Lao Bai, don't scream, you're scared, apologize to others." Strange to say, the big white tiger really obediently reined in, lowered his eyebrows and nodded at everyone a few times to apologize.
Everyone was surprised, and the fat man's eyes widened even more, and his childlike heart was raised, and he immediately piled up a flattering smile, "Oh, this little girl can also tame a tiger?!" Little sister, little sister, cute little sister, you teach me how to tame a tiger? β
The little girl in a white gauze dress holding a lotus bone flower shook her head, "Lao Bai is not domesticated, it only listens to me." β
Tang Jiusheng was also surprised, and walked forward with a unicorn horse, "Cute little sister, what's your name?
The little girl shook her head and looked at Tang Jiusheng: "Big brother, are you sick?
Tang Jiusheng was taken aback: "Can you see that the qi in my body is very chaotic?"
The little girl riding the tiger nodded, and asked with some confusion, "Yes, I can see the situation in each of you's bodies." β
The shocked Jiang fat man jumped up with a hammer, "Oh, this is a little fairy?"
