The porter led the way, but his attitude was very different from before. Knowing that the young man who was following him was the herald appointed by the emperor himself, Fang Men was strange in his heart but he was always polite, especially when he heard that the herald was in Xiangyang for the first time, and he would tell the herald from time to time about some strange things in the garden of Tangfu.

It seemed that the herald of the double ten boy followed behind, and he didn't see any special expression, and only after listening to the door finish saying a sentence would he nod slightly to indicate that he had heard.

It's not easy to have this state of mind at such a young age.

The door is also secretly observing all the way, from its expression seems to be smiling, but it is full of seriousness and distance, which is really unpredictable.

The place where the second master chose to meet guests was also different from usual, he did not go to the living room where warm tea and pastries were served, but in the side garden that was only separated by a wall from the Tang family's furnace room.

The partial garden is the partial garden, and these two words are written on the plaque.

The small scenery of flowers and plants planting trees and flowing water in the courtyard is chic in the whole Tang Mansion, but it is too close to the furnace room, and the fire and iron are constantly burning every day, and the noise is also terrible.

When he arrived at the side garden, the door remembered the instructions of the second master and only brought people to him, so he said to the herald and bowed to leave.

When I arrived, I could already hear the sound of the partition wall, and when I glanced at the door, the young man's face was still as usual.

Before he stepped into the side garden, the second master arched his hands to greet him.

"The herald sent the lord to come to visit, but he did not go to greet him personally, and asked the lord to punish him. ”

Holding the herald's waist card in his hand, the second master's words were polite but his body was straight, and the bearing of a wealthy gentleman was naturally revealed.

"Where did Master Tang say, I took the liberty to come to disturb, and I should be punished. ”

The young man's attitude was naturally not affected by Tang Erye at all, and after taking the waist card from his hand without a trace, he complained in his heart.

It is clearly written on his name post, this visit is for Tang Lu, the head of the Tang family, if the old man in front of him is Tang Lu, no matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like a good talker.

The small hammer struck quickly, and the sledgehammer sank vigorously, but every time it was a shocking sound, and the sharp and piercing sound seemed to have been blocked in the ears and eyes.

Second Master Tang didn't seem to see it, and asked the envoy to enter the pavilion and sit down, but still maintained a smile.

"Haven't asked your Excellency for your name?"

"Don't dare, my surname is Mu, and my name is three thousand. ”

"I, Emperor Qiyuan, intend to support the talents of the rivers and lakes, specially held a martial arts meeting in Dongkaido, and invited a highly senior Taoist in Wudang Mountain to pass on the orders of the rivers and lakes, which has long been known to the world. ”

There was a small stove next to the stone table, and the water in the copper kettle sitting on it was boiling, and Tang Erye picked up the boiling water with one hand and poured it into the tea cup where the tea leaves were placed.

"It's true that I have learned martial arts, and it is not true that I have passed orders on behalf of the emperor, but since the moment I took over the emperor's name, I am no longer a member of Wudang. ”

"Oh, why is that?"

Things in the rivers and lakes have always been like this, and there have been ups and downs, and few people know how the truth is, just like the matter of the herald of the rivers and lakes, the world remembers that only Wudang may convene the masters of the rivers and lakes for the imperial court.

"Wudang has nothing to do with the government, this is the admonition left by my master's master, and it can't be broken here for me. ”

"That's right. ”

Second Master Tang nodded thoughtfully.

"So, I don't know why the herald sent the lord to come to my Tang Mansion?"

Before coming, Mu Sanqian had thought about countless answers to this question, the Tang family was not a Jianghu sect, and his current identity was a herald, which was indeed unreasonable in the eyes of those who did not know.

"Are you Mr. Tanglu?"

Mu Sanqian didn't answer Second Master Tang's question, but asked him if he was Tang Lu.

Second Master Tang suddenly remembered that the name card handed over by Mu Sanqian was written to visit the patriarch of the Tang family, originally because they didn't know that the eldest brother had gradually retreated into the background over the years, and at this moment, the young man named Mu Sanqian and was the messenger asked about the eldest brother Tang Lu again, obviously he came to the eldest brother for this trip.

In a very short moment, Second Master Tang's mind turned a thousand times, but he couldn't remember what friendship his eldest brother had with Wudang Mountain.

"Although my eldest brother is still the nominal patriarch of the Tang family, he has only been asking about mundane things for many years, is Lord Xiaomu and my eldest brother still old friends?"

When you can't get an answer, instead of guessing, it's better to ask straightforwardly.

"The younger generation didn't know Mr. Tanglu before, and the kid had never seen the old man, so he took the liberty to ask. An elder in my family is an old acquaintance with Mr. Tang, so I came to visit. ”

"I see. ”

Second Master Tang nodded slightly.

This Xiaomu Lord said that he was an elder of his own, but he did not reveal the identity of that person, if this matter was not his nonsense, then the elder in his mouth, an elder who needs to be deliberately concealed, is really worth guessing.

"Since Lord Xiaomu came with my eldest brother's old acquaintance, I should take you to meet my eldest brother. ”

"That's really Master Lao Tang. ”

Mu Sanqian has always maintained a humble and polite attitude, and when he heard that he was relieved and wanted to take him to meet Tang Lu, he was suddenly happy in his heart, it was best to see Tang Lu, and the future could be discussed slowly.

"However, my eldest brother's temper has become very strange over the years, and even I dare not disturb it easily. ”

Who knew that Second Master Tang suddenly changed his words, and the light smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but make Mu Sanqian climb a little chill behind him.

"My eldest brother is obsessed with swords, if you can have a talent in sword forging, maybe your eldest brother will be happy to see you. ”

"Forged swords?"

Mu Sanqian's head was stunned, what are you kidding, if I can cast a sword myself, why did I come to Xiangyang thousands of miles away?

"Master Tang, this is a bit difficult for a strong man, sword casting is a craft passed down from generation to generation by the Tang family, I am a layman, I can't even see the quality of the iron, how can I say the talent of sword casting?"

In Mu Sanqian's opinion, this is obviously an excuse for Old Man Tang to see Tang Lu by himself, he doesn't know anything about sword casting, and if he has talent, he still listens to Old Man Tang's words?

"Although sword casting is a craft that has been passed down by my Tang family for hundreds of years, it is not that I was born to cast iron swords, even my Tang family does not have the talent to cast swords, as for the standard of judging, Lord Xiaomu can rest assured that Tang will make a fair judgment to you. ”

As if he had clearly guessed the worries in Mu Sanqian's heart, Second Master Tang stroked his beard and said to Mu Sanqian.

"In that case, I'll have to give it a try. ”

Having said that, even if it's to catch the ducks on the shelves, you have to give it a try. Mu Sanqian gritted his teeth and stood up and arched his hand.
