The moonlight is superb tonight.

I heard that the gate of Miyang City was opened tonight, just because Tang Yuanwai was going to celebrate his 60th birthday in a few days, and a pair of children who were far away in the capital wanted to go home to celebrate their father's birthday, and they set off from the capital half a month ago, and the accompanying servants had already arrived in Miyang in the afternoon, saying that they would arrive tonight.

When Cheng Yang County heard this, he hurriedly ordered that the city gate would not be closed tonight, and all the members of the county government arrived at the city gate early to greet him.

Li Xiancheng has been standing at the gate of the city for half an hour, and today he specially wore an official uniform, and after a few months, his body seems to have gained weight again, and the official uniform is particularly ill-fitting on his body.

It was probably a long time since he had stood for such a long time, Li Xiancheng had a string of sweat on his forehead, he raised his cuffs and wiped it, and then looked at the official road in the distance, but there was no figure.

Li Xiancheng was a little anxious, if he waited like this, I was afraid that this body bone would not be able to hold up, so he kicked the servant who was serving on the side, and scolded: "I don't have long eyes, why don't you hurry up and find a chair for this official!"

"Let's go. The official nodded for a while, and then ran towards the city.

At this time, Tang Mingde came to the gate of the city with a group of entourage, and when he saw Li Xiancheng looking embarrassed, Tang Mingde couldn't help but smile disdainfully, and then stepped forward, and said in a weird manner: "Lord Li came so early, if my brother knew, wouldn't he be very moved!"

"It should be, it should be. Li Xiancheng laughed and wiped the sweat on his forehead, but he secretly scolded Tang Mingde several times in his heart.

Tang Mingde was in a good mood today, but after coming out of Yin Ping'er, he became extremely bad again.

This woman, he Tang Mingde has coveted for a long time.

Thinking about this Miyang City, where can you find such a decent woman? This kind of goods is not comparable to those yellow flower girls, and even ordinary women are inferior by more than a star and a half.

Take the lackeys who followed him, who did not give him the women of his own house to taste, those women behaved in bed with great profligacy, but the more so, the more disgusted he became, the more disgusted, the more inappropriate he was!

Yin Ping'er, who became a widow at a young age, is different from these women, not only is she good-looking, but she is also pretending to be noble and holy in front of people, and her neighbors are almost about to set up a memorial arch for her.

Tang Mingde has imagined the scene of this woman moaning under him countless times, but imagination is imagination after all, this woman is not something he can move if he wants to, after all, after she took over Xianggong's urn workshop, the business is surprisingly good, not only famous in Miyang, but also famous in Tangzhou, even if he has the courage, he does not dare to do too much.

But today Yin Ping'er completely angered him, if it wasn't for something more important, he would have to put that woman in the urn.

Tang Mingde showed a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth, his eyes stared at the official road ahead, today's return of the eldest brother and second sister to the hometown is the most face-saving thing for the Tang family, although the second sister is married to the capital as a concubine, but the second sister has been deeply favored by the princess over the years, as for the old pearl yellow wife of the main house, she has long been kicked so that she can't raise her head, and people before and after everyone have to look at their second sister's face.

As for the eldest brother who shined in the palace exam, not to mention, he was given to a Taibao who leaned towards the government and the opposition, and thus got the position of a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, which can be said to have earned enough face for the family.

He was the only one of the three children of the Tang family who was laughed at, but he Tang Mingde didn't take it seriously, these people only dared to talk behind their backs, who dared to be tough in front of him for a moment?

As soon as the eldest brother and second sister came back, the people in the entire Miyang City didn't dare to speak out, as for Yin Ping'er, who was against her, why don't you take this opportunity to give her some color and take a look?

Here Tang Mingde and Li Xiancheng are thinking about things, in this official road less than twenty miles away from Miyang, a team of people and horses are coming, in front of them are a few elite guards, and then Tang Mingli is riding a big horse, Tang Mingli is indeed a talent, Yin Tang is tall, the facial features are clearly contoured, the body is straight, and there is a kind of majesty on horseback, and there is no shortage of scholarly anger and martial arts should have.

Behind Tang Mingli, three or five guards escorted a gorgeous carriage, and after walking for a while, Tang Mingli turned around and shouted to the carriage: "Sister, walk for a while and you will arrive at Miyang." ”

A woman poked her head out of the carriage, this woman looked average, but she was dressed extremely charmingly, especially the voice, which was simply crisp to the bones.

"Oh, it's finally coming, and I'm about to get sick after being stuck in such a small carriage for half a month. ”

Tang Mingli smiled, stopped a guard in front of him, and ordered, "You keep going, I have something to do." ”

Then Tang Mingli stopped the horse, and then watched the team gradually move away, he turned the horse's head, and then slammed the horse's belly, and the horse galloped towards the distance, which was about two or three miles away, Tang Mingli stopped the horse, and then stopped on the horse's back like that.

The breeze blew, Tang Mingli closed his eyes and remained motionless, like dead wood, the sound of horses humming and humming was extremely strange in the night, and soon a group of birds were startled in the forest, Tang Mingli opened his eyes suddenly, and eight figures appeared silently in front of him.

"How's things going?" Tang Mingli's voice became cold, and he asked as he looked at the few people in front of him.

"We have no problem with the ink pool. ”

"That's good, after the matter is completed, you will follow me, and it is better to have the court as a backer than for you to be a murder organization in the rivers and lakes. ”

The man in the dark was silent for a while, and then said with some hesitation: "But since we killed the assassin in Xiangyang, we seem to have been targeted by the Zhaolin Army. ”

"What?" Tang Mingli's voice suddenly increased, and even if he couldn't see his face clearly, he could still feel his anger.

But then he calmed down again: "No wonder, the General Chen of the Zhaolin Army is not a person to mess with, he was famous for his wisdom and courage in the capital back then, and later he was sent to Xiangyang and became a captain of the Zhaolin Army. ”

"You let us assassinate so many local officials, if the capital is tracked down, can you really hold it? Don't use us as a shield when the time comes, you should know the means of our ink pool, even the person behind you will not dare to use our ink pool as a pawn. ”

Tang Mingli had a disgusted expression on his face, but it was difficult to detect in the night.

"Don't worry, there is someone on top, you just have to do things. ”

"Farewell!" Everyone in the ink pool disappeared into the night in a few flashes, only Tang Mingli sat quietly on horseback, and said inexplicably: "I heard that during the time I was away, it rained again in the capital." ”

......

Yao Sanming stood in the courtyard, with a bright full moon above his head, Zhang Shaoyang was silent on the side, and the atmosphere was a little quiet for a while.

After a long time, Zhang Shaoyang said a little breathlessly: "Master, don't you want to know what grievances I have with the person surnamed Tang?"

Yao Sanming didn't turn his head, and said lightly: "I don't want to." ”

"Okay, the disciple has gone back to rest, you should rest early. ”

"Wait!" Yao Sanming stopped Zhang Shaoyang, who was about to leave, and said, "I will ask you again for the teacher, why do you want to learn swords." ”

Zhang Shaoyang was stunned, Yao Sanming's aggressive tone made his original thoughts of coming one by one suddenly disappear, and he was stunned for a long time, and he didn't know how to speak.

Seeing Zhang Shaoyang's appearance, Yao Sanming didn't press forward step by step, but changed his words and said, "Do you want to know what your father told me that day?"

Zhang Shaoyang raised his head in amazement, met Yao Sanming's eyes, and looked at each other for a moment, then he hurriedly looked away and said in a low voice: "Yes." ”

"Your father told me that if he brought you back, your life would be ruined. ”

Zhang Shaoyang was silent.

"When the old man asked you and that Wu Sanqi to choose a sword, he decided to choose one of you to be a disciple between the two of you, the old man actually valued that kid more, but it's a pity that he chose my Bailu sword, and you chose Honghu, the sword, once you choose, you have to be prepared to be affected by the sword for a lifetime. ”

"I don't really understand. Zhang Shaoyang said seriously.

"Think about it, Bai Lu Sword adheres to the will of the old man, and the old man has also been influenced by this sword for a lifetime, complementing each other to have today's achievements, the kid surnamed Wu took it, does he still have a chance to surpass the old man in this life? ”

Zhang Shaoyang suddenly realized, but then there was a deeper puzzle in his heart: "But what does this have to do with why I learned swords." ”

"Boy, because you learn the sword, you will use it as your sword, your heart is full of good thoughts, your sword is full of good thoughts, you often harbor malice, the way of the sword is dedicated to evil, good and evil, good and evil, good and bad, all in your thoughts. ”

Zhang Shaoyang's body was shocked, and then he respectfully saluted Yao Sanming: "Remember the master's teaching, the disciple has understood." ”

Yao Sanming nodded with satisfaction: "Well, you guy, this understanding is really a must, I really don't know what kind of situation it will reach in the future, and that Wu Sanqi is born with a sword eye, even if it is affected by my swordsmanship, it will inevitably become a figure in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that in the future, you will involuntarily compare yourself, this generation of talents is numerous, it is really exciting." ”

"Master, the disciple dares to ask, why did you learn swords back then?"

Yao Sanming thought about it, but couldn't help but show a smile that hadn't appeared for a long time: "Why did the old man learn swords, originally to live, and then to live alone." ”
