Chapter 10: On the Way to Chang'an (3)
Steward Jin straightened his goatee: "The matter is messed up, but I also got some valuable clues." Donald Lao Er is really capable, and a coachman's kung fu is so good. I don't know how many martial arts masters he has enveloped. Tang Men is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger! What does Tang Lao Er want to do?"
Sima Junjie paused again: "Of course, I want to make his family's business bigger." ”
Steward Jin took a few steps. "It's not that simple. He will be my uncle's strongest opponent in the future. You have to keep an eye on him. ”
As the sun sets, the earth is golden. It's still the same wilderness, blown by the autumn wind, undulating like a wave.
Tang Susu stopped at the intersection, looking extremely lonely and small.
Huang Meng walked up to her: "Miss, let's go home." Come back tomorrow. ”
Tang Susu still looked at the bend. It was quiet, not the slightest change. After a while, she said, "Hmm." Then he slowly turned around and walked towards the carriage.
Xiaoqing helped her, and the two got into the car.
Huang Meng also got into the car, pulled the reins, and "Drive!" The horse's hooves "clicked".
Xiaoqing helped Tang Susu straighten his windswept hair. "Miss, squint your eyes for a while, you look so tired. ”
The carriage was getting faster and faster. Suddenly, Huang Meng stopped the car.
Xiaoqing thought that she was in trouble again, so she hurriedly asked, "Uncle Huang, what's wrong?"
Huang Meng replied: "It's weird, this horse doesn't want to go." ”
Then the horse lifted its front legs and let out a long roar.
Huang Meng seemed to have thought of something, got out of the car and looked behind, only to see three people and three horses around the corner. "Miss, look at it, is the person coming from behind the second master, I can't see so far with my eyesight. ”
Tang Susu suddenly became sleepy, and immediately rushed out of the carriage and looked behind. "Yes, it's Brother Xingwen!" she laughed and cried. "Brother Xingwen is here. Xing--Wen--brother!"
Chen Xingwen shouted while beating the horse with the reins: "Su--Su!"
Tang Susu ran in his direction.
Xiaoqing also went out of the carriage and asked curiously, "Uncle Huang, how do you know that the second master is back?"
Huang Meng patted the horse and said, "The second master's horse and this horse are husband and wife, and if it doesn't go, I guess that the second master will be behind." ”
Xiaoqing was so moved that her eyes moistened.
Tang Susu and Chen Xingwen ran towards each other, and after converging, Chen Xingwen jumped off the horse and hugged Tang Susu with both hands. Tang Susu also hugged him tightly. Reserved and shy are thrown out of the clouds.
People who have not experienced life and death parting find it difficult to understand their feelings at this time.
After a long time, Tang Wuwei said, "Let's go back first." Susu, you and Xiaoqing walk, let Xingwen and Xingwu take the car. ”
During the Tang Dynasty, there was a strict hierarchy, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter the city on horseback. Therefore, the rich and large families, except for the horses that pulled the carts, the rest of the horses were placed outside the city in special places for horses.
Chen Xingwen hurriedly said: "I'm not tired, let's let Su Su and them take the car." ”
Tang Wuwei said in a low voice: "It's not a matter of being tired or not. There are many people in Chang'an City, so you'd better not show your brothers. Maybe Zhu Wen sent someone to stare at us. ”
Tang Susu also insisted that the Chen Xingwen brothers sit in the car. Chen Xingwen couldn't refuse, so he had to rely on them.
Tang Wuwei was right, in the distance, there was indeed a pair of eyes staring at them.
When the group entered the city gate, Tang Wuwei saw a group of sergeants on horseback coming, led by General Kang Huaizhen, the guard of Chang'an Town.
Tang Wuwei hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General Kang! At this hour, you also personally led the team to inspect, you are really a good general who loves the people like a son!"
General Kang reined in his horse: "Oh, it's Second Master Tang." Looking at the way you look like you're in the dust, you must be going far away, right?"
Tang Wuwei returned: "It's not far, dozens of miles to the west have sent goods." ”
General Kang laughed twice: "I thought you brought Jindi." I heard that Jinju City has been restless recently, and I want to inquire about some news. ”
Tang Wuwei pushed a smile: "It's okay, I have a team of darts that are about to come back from over there, and then I will collect the situation, report to the general's mansion in person, and bring some specialties over there to the general to taste." ”
General Kang arched his hand and said, "Then there is Second Master Lao Tang." I said, "Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to go to my place and order a meal, so that you can go in and out of the city and ride your horse?"
Tang Wuwei smiled: "Thank you General Kang for your kindness." I don't dare to disobey the ancestral teachings, and I don't have the ability to eat official meals. ”
General Kang laughed loudly: "You businessmen will be wise to protect yourself." Second Master Tang, please go back, and talk about it in the future. ”
Chen Xingwen thought in the car: Fortunately, the second brother is cautious, otherwise he may cause trouble if he is exposed in front of this General Kang.
In Sima's Mansion, a person came to the door of Butler Jin's room. "Master Jin. ”
Butler Jin beckoned him to enter the house, "Got news?"
Laidao replied in a low voice: "Tang Susu has received someone." There are three people in total. ”
Steward Jin straightened his goatee: "Have you found out the identities of the three people?"
The person who came laughed dryly: "It's far away, I can't see or hear clearly." One of them was very close to Tang Susu, and they were all hugging each other. After that, the little one asked the sergeant guarding the city gate: One of them was Tang Wuwei. The other two sat in the carriage with raw faces. ”
Steward Jin asked again: "Which one is holding Tang Susu together, is it Tang Wuwei or the other two?"
The visitor replied, "They are all wearing the same clothes, and in a blink of an eye they can't tell the difference." ”
"What a cunning Tang Wuwei. As he spoke, Steward Jin picked up a piece of broken silver from the table and handed it to the visitor. "Okay, pay attention to the movements of the Tang family in the past few days, and report the situation in time. ”
The person who came took the silver: "Xie Jinye." ”
After the people left, Steward Jin immediately went to Sima Junjie's room.
Sima Junjie was reading a book seriously.
Steward Jin came to him: "Young Master." ”
Sima Junjie put down the book in his hand and said angrily: "What's the matter?"
Steward Jin took out a letter from his bosom. "This is a letter from my uncle, look at it. ”
Sima Junjie took the letter. After reading the letter in a hurry, he asked, "Uncle didn't mention anything about the tricks at all, but he became interested in Tang Wuwei?"
Steward Jin looked nonchalant: "It's a trivial matter to order a flower hand," approached Sima Junjie and said, "Tang Wuwei is a big deal." ”
Sima Junjie was displeased: "How can this be true." My life was almost lost at his hands, but it was a small matter. Investigating Tang Wuwei has become a big deal, what does he have to do with you and me?"
Steward Jin moved his mouth to his ear: "Tang Wuwei was implicated in an incident that happened in Jinzhou, and he got a martial arts secret. Uncle wants to be the leader of the martial arts alliance, and that martial arts secret is very important. ”
Sima Junjie said curiously: "Oh, there is such a thing? However, my uncle's martial arts dare not be said to be the best in the world, but he can be regarded as a top master." Is there really such a magical secret that can improve his kung fu?"
Steward Jin continued: "I heard that the wine-colored monk and the Luoyang Divine Turtle were all defeated under him. ”
Although Sima Junjie doesn't know much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, he has heard of several top masters. He disagreed: "Those two are not particularly strong opponents, they should not be able to defeat uncle." ”
Steward Jin pretended to be mysterious: "There is more." Li Cunxiao conceded defeat. ”
mentioned Li Cunxiao, Sima Junjie was full of interest: "Li Cunxiao lost to Tang Wuwei?"
Steward Jin was obviously also skeptical of this news: "The specific situation is not very clear. ”
Sima Junjie glared at him, and was interested: "I think you are chasing the wind and shadows, I thought that someone could really beat Li Cunxiao." I'm not interested in your affairs in the rivers and lakes. Uncle doesn't come to help me, I'll figure it out myself. ”
Steward Jin smiled awkwardly: "Young master, don't worry. Also, today Tang Wuwei came back from the direction of Jinju and brought two people. Presumably it was Tang Susu's husband who came. ”
Sima Junjie was stunned: "I want to see him." must be a capable person to get Miss Tang's favor. ”
Steward Jin sorted out his goatee: "The old man said something that the young master doesn't like to hear." If you had been diligent in learning some family kung fu at the beginning, a few tricks would not have been able to help you, so why would you have to find someone to help you avenge? Maybe the Tang family girl would have liked you very much by now. If you get that martial arts secret book and learn the best kung fu, wouldn't it be even quicker to take revenge with your own hands?"
Sima Junjie paused: "In this way, the martial arts secret is indeed useful. ”
Steward Jin nodded: "It must be useful, otherwise how would my uncle be so concerned." ”
