Chapter 49: Talking in the middle of the night

After dinner in the evening, Tang Zhan still had doubts about what Nangong Zheng had just done, and he couldn't let go. Of course, he was most worried about Lu Jing, and he also knew that Lu Jing's mood was the most complicated now.

After taking a walk in the courtyard, Tang Zhan thought about it, but decided to go to Lu Jing's room, wanting to comfort her......

So, Tang Zhan slowly walked to the door of Lu Jing's room, and he was not ready to open the door at first. "Jing'er will be fine...... Tang Zhan said secretly in his heart, "Is it better to comfort her at this time, or let her be alone and ......" Tang Zhan's heart was also full of contradictions.

"Is it a fool or a delicate person outside?" a sudden shout from the door interrupted Tang Zhan's thoughts, "Come in......"

After listening to Lu Jing's words, Tang Zhan still decided to pluck up his courage and slowly pushed open Lu Jing's door......

The inside is still like that, the red bedpost mattress, not only the furnishings of the room have not changed, but even Lu Jing's habits have not changed. Lu Jing was sitting on the side and reading books on the art of war and the like, it seemed that everything was normal, but it was just ...... Lu Jing's face was no longer the smile she had before, replaced by an endless faint sadness that she had never had.

Tang Zhan stood on Lu Jing's side - he could see the sadness on Lu Jing's face. Suddenly, Lu Jing closed the book, put it firmly on the table, leaned back in the chair, and let out a long sigh at the roof—she was not in the mood to read at all tonight.

Seeing Lu Jing's melancholy expression, Tang Zhan asked with concern, "Jing'er, are you still unhappy about today's incident?"

Lu Jing thought for a while, and did not answer Tang Zhan's question directly, but turned his head to the side of Tang Zhan and said, "I want to go out for a walk tonight...... Fool, can you stay with me?"

Although Tang Zhan's brain is stupid, his heart is not stupid, he can feel the pain in Lu Jing's heart now, she wants to go outside to relax. But Tang Zhan was also worried that Lu Jing would anger her father again, so he said, "But your father won't let you go out......"

"Anyway, I won't be free in the future......" Lu Jing smiled, but said discouragedly, "I will be a member of the Nangong family in the future, only today...... I'm still free, I want to go out and walk......"

Hearing these words, Tang Zhan suddenly felt an inexplicable impulse and anger in his heart. In fact, since he arrived in Lu Mansion, he has fallen in love with Lu Jing, although he is just a subordinate, but he already feels very satisfied when he sees Lu Jing happy by his side every day...... But when he knew that Nangong was bullying the Lu family to force him to marry, he couldn't help but feel angry; if there was no distinction between high and low, he really wanted to teach Nangong Zheng a lesson in person......

Looking at Lu Jing's pitiful appearance now, Tang Zhan's heart also softened, and he agreed: "That'...... Okay, but only out for a while......"

Lu Jing smiled at Tang Zhan, and Tang Zhan felt a feeling of joy or sadness in his heart.

"Linglong—" Lu Jing shouted outside in a weak voice.

But after a while, Linglong ran in from outside. Linglong asked, "Is there something wrong with Sister Lu?"

Lu Jing slowly lowered her head and said slowly, "I want to go out for a walk with the fool tonight...... You and Luyun help me take care of the good wind, don't let my father and mother find out......"

Linglong heard this and exclaimed: "But Sister Lu, if you have been out for a long time and the master knows, it will be troublesome......"

"We'll be back after a while......," Lu Jing said with a reluctant smile, "You and Luyun just take care of the wind." ”

"That'...... Okay......" Linglong swallowed, "Sister Lu, you have to come back early......" Linglong's voice gradually lowered, it seems that in Linglong's heart, Linglong has never been able to let go of Lu Jing, who is now a little self-defeating......

So, Lu Jing asked Linglong and Luyun and some other subordinates to take care of it and find a way to deceive their parents. Then, Lu Jing and Tang Zhan secretly ran out of the Lu Mansion......

Zhao Funei ......

"I have heard that Nangong Zheng, the fourth son of the Nangong family, has proposed to Lu Jing...... "Zhao Zibo, who was in Zhao Zichuan's room, said, "It is said that tomorrow will compete in the courtyard of the Lu Mansion, and Lu Jing will marry Nangong Zheng if he loses, and there will be many martial arts celebrities coming at that time." ”

"Is there no way?" Zhao Zichuan fidgeted on the side, "If I can help Jingmei, I am willing to fight for her." I may not be able to beat everyone in the Nangong family, but I won't be afraid of just one Nangong Zheng!" Zhao Zichuan's tone became more and more intense.

"Third brother!" Zhao Zibo saw Zhao Zichuan's excitement, and also persuaded, "I know...... Lu Jing has always been your friend, and you won't watch her suffer. But if you are implicated, have you thought about the life and death of the Zhao family?"

"Our Zhao family wants to set such family rules?" Zhao Zichuan said indignantly, "Just because the Nangong family is rich and powerful, our Zhao family is afraid of him?"

Zhao Zibo saw that Zhao Zichuan couldn't control himself, and he was a little aggrieved in his heart, but he couldn't be unreasonable, so he patiently explained: "Third brother, you must know that our Zhao family is a descendant of the royal family of the Song Dynasty. When the Mongols destroyed our Great Song Dynasty, our ancestors vowed to endure humiliation and bear the burden, and one day they would avenge the destruction of the country. It is not easy for our Zhao family to settle in this Bianliang city under the jurisdiction of the Mongols. Now that the Nangong Murong family is involved with the Mengyuan court, if we offend them because of a momentary anger, our Zhao family may not be able to escape the disaster, isn't it to destroy the family business that has been accumulated over the past hundred years?

After listening to the second brother's words, Zhao Zichuan calmed down a little. However, he still couldn't ignore Lu Jing's life and death, so he said again: "Okay, we won't mess with Nangong Murong's family, but I can't ignore my friends, I still have to find a way to save Sister Jing." ”

Zhao Zibo thought for a while and said, "By the way, didn't your friend named Huang Ji write to you? I heard that Huang Ji's martial arts of 'Bianliang Doctor' are not bad, you can ask him to help." ”

"It would be nice if that was the case......," Zhao Zichuan said helplessly, "We haven't seen Brother Huang Jihuang for almost a month, he sells his calligraphy and paintings in the 'Jixing District' of Dongcheng, and he has to go to every household every day to treat the poor, and he can't be found at all...... However, he said in the letter that he would come to Lu Mansion in a few days, and he would bring his two new friends, but ...... Tomorrow, Sister Jing is going to fight with Nangong Zheng, I'm afraid that Brother Huang Ji and Huang won't be able to count on it......"

"Is there nothing you can do......" Zhao Zibo sighed again. Zhao Zibo is the master of the Xuanwu Hall of the Huashan Sect, and his martial arts are naturally not a problem, but he is also the heir of the Zhao family, and like Zhao Zichuan, he has no way to help Lu Jing. Zhao Zibo has always cared about his younger brother, especially this time, it is rare to send him back from Huashan. Zhao Zichuan is an extremely righteous person, his friends are in trouble, and as an elder brother, he can't sit idly by.

"Maybe there is another person who can help him......" At this time, Zhao Zichuan suddenly thought of Tang Zhan beside Lu Jing, he almost forgot that Tang Zhan was a descendant of the Tang family, and it was absolutely no problem to deal with Nangong Zheng with his martial arts.

But Zhao Zibo didn't know Tang Zhan's life experience, he listened to Zhao Zichuan's sudden change of sentence, and asked, "Who is it?"

Zhao Zichuan didn't say anything to Zhao Zibo, just smiled slightly......

Although the night market in Bianliang City is very lively, Lu Jing is not in the mood to watch it at all. After that, Lu Jing bought a small jar of wine alone and drank it as she walked......

Tang Zhan followed Lu Jing all the time, and then the two walked to a bridge and sat down......

Lu Jing was on the railing of the bridge the most, and when she felt bored, she poured herself a sip of wine, and the more bored she was, the more she wanted to pour it. It didn't take long for Lu Jing to drink more than half of the wine in the jar, and Lu Jing's face was also red - she was a little drunk.

Seeing that Lu Jing was drunk, Tang Zhan said, "Jing'er, you ...... You can't drink it anymore......" he said, preparing to take it to the wine jar in Lu Jing's hand.

Who knows, Lu Jing snatched it again and said, "weishenme won't let me drink it...... I'm upset, I'm going to ...... Drink!" Her words were clearly drunk.

"Jing'er, you are already drunk, if you drink it again, if your father and mother see it, you will definitely be ...... again" Tang Zhan said with concern on the side.

"I ...... I'm not drunk, who said I'm drunk......" Lu Jing said with a red face and confusion, "My zuihou has a single night, and it's still ...... Don't make me happy......"

Hearing this, Tang Zhan suddenly felt angry again. Lu Jing has become what she is now, all of them are Nangong Zhengyi, Tang Zhan really doesn't want Lu Jing to marry such a bullying villain......

"Fool, I ask you...... You are so willing to be a squire by my side......" Lu Jing suddenly asked Tang Zhan, who was sitting beside him, "I used to ...... I've looked for a lot of people, most of them ...... Afterward...... It's all been made up by me...... It's all scared away, haha......"

When Tang Zhan heard this, his face first flushed slightly, and then he said, "No...... There is also no weishenme...... I've been stupid since I was a child, and I often worry my uncle about doing other things besides manual work...... I think you can learn a lot by your side, and you can be happy every day......"

"You're not afraid of me...... Every day as they were...... Fix you?" Lu Jing asked again.

Tang Zhan smiled lightly: "I believe that Jing'er will not be determined to fix me, even if it is corrected to me, it is because I sometimes love to be in a daze and have a stupid brain, I think this is a reminder from Jing'er to me." ”

"Fool, you...... It's so stupid......" Lu Jing smiled and said confusedly, "But because you are honest, I think ...... Fool you actually...... Quite flattering......"

When Tang Zhan heard this, his face turned red again.

Lu Jing continued: "Fool, you have been listening to Jing'er's words, I am very happy...... Hey, if there were a few more people like you on this shijie...... Honest...... Kindness...... ...... How nice ......"

Tang Zhantou looked at the river under the bridge, and there was infinite emotion in his heart.

Lu Jing said again: "It's so nice to have a fool by my side, obedient and cute...... But after tonight...... I'm afraid we won't be able to ...... anymore Playing together...... Hmph, hmph, weishenme God is going to play tricks on me like this, just because I'm a woman...... You can't decide your own life...... What exactly weishenme......" Lu Jing began to tell about the injustice of fate, in such an era, there is no way for the women who come out to control their own life prospects, when they get married and have children, they have been influenced by their parents.

Listening to Lu Jing's words, the more Tang Zhan listened, the more uncomfortable he became. He couldn't bear to ask, "Jing'er, you're so smart, can't you think of any way?"

"Heh, what's the ......" Lu Jing closed her eyes and laughed to herself, "unless you can ...... Defeat Nangong Zheng at tomorrow's martial arts competition...... But my brother and brother are not his opponents, Zhao Zichuan...... That big fool has family rules, and he can't be involved with the Nangong Murong family...... Brother Huang Ji couldn't be contacted again...... There's no way, I really can't find ...... The way to defeat Nangong Zheng ......" As she spoke, Lu Jing leaned her head on Tang Zhan's shoulder and sobbed quietly.

Seeing Lu Jing like this, Tang Zhan's heart beat faster but he was sad. He asked again, "Think about it again, Jing'er, you should have other friends......

Lu Jing laughed to herself: "Haha, who else do you want to say...... You're left with fools...... But you can deal with the most ...... Those scoundrels in the Lu Mansion, you are not a ...... at all Nangong Zheng's opponent ......"

When Tang Zhan heard this, he suddenly understood in his heart: "By the way, I can help Jing'er...... I have already learned all the moves of the Tang Family's Overlord Spear, no matter how powerful Nangong Zheng is, I should still be able to handle it...... No, Uncle Xiaofeng told me that you can't expose your identity and martial arts in front of outsiders until the critical time...... Conan Dao just watched Jing'er become a member of the Nangong family? This is the only chance...... I'm sorry, Uncle Xiaofeng, Zhan'er wants to save Jing'er, so he has to use the 'Tang Family Overlord Gun'......"

Then, Tang Zhan said: "Jing'er, I thought about it, I'll deal with Nangong Zheng for you!"

Lu Jing heard this and said with a smile: "You, fool...... You can't beat Nangong Zheng with that bit of effort......"

"I swear I will never let Jing'er marry Nangong Zheng, believe me!" Tang Zhan said firmly when he heard this, and it was the first time he spoke so firmly in front of Lu Jing.

But Lu Jing was still half drunk and half awake at this time, and Tang Zhan's words were not fully understood. She said: "Don't worry, fool, I will do my best to deal with Nangong Zheng tomorrow...... But it's still xiexie you, idiot...... With you by my side...... It's so nice......"

When Tang Zhan heard this, his face turned red again. But he was very excited, and took it to heart. "That, Jing'er......" Tang Zhan was about to say something again, but found that Lu Jing was asleep leaning on his shoulder.

Lu Jing was drunk, and the wine jar also rolled to the ground. Looking at Lu Jing's cute appearance of leaning on his shoulder and falling asleep, Tang Zhan smiled slightly...... Afterwards, Tang Zhan picked up Lu Jing, who was asleep after being drunk, and went back to Lu Mansion......

At the gate of the Lu Mansion, Linglong and Luyun were still anxiously waiting for Lu Jing's return, after all, it was already late......

Lu Yun hurriedly said: "Oh, why hasn't Miss come back yet, it shouldn't be something wrong?"

Linglong comforted: "With Brother Tang by your side, Sister Lu will be fine!"

"But if the lord and lady know about this......" Green Cloud was still worried.

"Wait a little longer......" Linglong said verbally, in fact, she was also very anxious......

Fortunately, the two of them were not disappointed, and not far away, Tang Zhan had already returned with Lu Jing, who was asleep......

When Linglong saw it, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "Oh, you're finally back...... Brother Tang, what's wrong with Sister Lu?"

"It's okay, Jing'er just fell asleep drunk...... Tang Zhan said, "Anyway, let's help her back to the room first......

So, Linglong asked the rest of the people to close the door, and she and Tang Zhan helped Lu Jing back to the room, but fortunately, Lu Zhanhong and Ruan Cuiying didn't know about the whole thing.

Back in the bedroom, Tang Zhan immediately put down Lu Jing and let her lie on the bed. Then, Tang Zhan slowly took off Lu Jing's boots, put her feet on the bed, and then covered Lu Jing with a quilt.

Seeing that Lu Jing finally fell asleep peacefully, Tang Zhan smiled slightly. Just wanted to turn around and leave, but Tang Zhan's right hand was grabbed by Lu Jing in a daze. Tang Zhan was stunned for a moment, and his heartbeat accelerated. Subsequently, Tang Zhan looked back and found that although Lu Jing was asleep, he was holding his hand as if he was sleepwalking.

Lu Jing grabbed Tang Zhan's hand and didn't let go—suddenly, tears stretched out of Lu Jing's face. Crystal tears rolled across Lu Jing's drunken red cheeks, and zuihou rolled down the back of Tang Zhan's hand. The feeling was warm, and Tang Zhan's heart was suddenly touched.

"Don't leave me, fool......" Lu Jing whispered dreamily.

Seeing this, Tang Zhan's will in his heart became even firmer. No matter what, he has decided to fight for Lu Jing tomorrow. Then, Tang Zhan smiled at Lu Jing, who was asleep, and then let go of Lu Jing's hand and covered her again with the quilt......

After the matter was over, he turned to Linglong who was doing things at the door and said, "Sister Linglong, don't be busy tonight, hurry up and go back to sleep!"

Linglong whispered: "Brother Tang, I'm worried about Sister Lu...... Tomorrow is a battle with Nangong, Sister Lu is more than lucky, I'm afraid ......"

"Let it be......" Tang Zhan smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, the heavens will take care of Jing'er's ......"

Linglong still couldn't rest assured, but seeing Tang Zhan's confident and kind smile, Linglong still smiled and said: "I know, Brother Tang, Sister Lu will definitely be safe! Then I'll go to sleep, Brother Tang, you should go to bed early!"

Tang Zhan smiled and nodded...... So, after taking care of Lu Jing, Tang Zhan and Linglong also went back to their rooms......

It's the dead of night...... Tang Zhan's door was closed, and there was no candle light. Tang Zhan couldn't sleep, he sat on the edge of the bed alone, and carefully stared at the pear flower gun that had not been opened for a long time through the moonlight coming in from the window.

Tang Zhan gently lifted the curtain with his hand, and the first thing that was exposed was the head of the pear flower gun. The tip is very delicate and reflects the moonlight. But there was a black patch on the head of the spear - it was the crimson of blood, but it was black only in the moonlight. According to Tang Xiaofeng, it was the bloodstain left by Tang Zhan's biological father Tang Tianhui seventeen years ago, and now it has long been dark red. Then, Tang Zhan removed all the curtains wrapped in the gun, and the pear flower spear, the ancestral treasure of the Tang family, was completely held in Tang Zhan's hand.

"It's been a long time since I've opened it...... It should be said that since I was born, I have never really used this pear flower gun......" Tang Zhan whispered to himself, "The sword has been hidden for a long time, and it should be unsheathed, let alone a gun...... I really didn't expect that it would be the first time to use this pear flower gun under such circumstances, but for the sake of Jing'er...... Uncle Xiaofeng, as far as Zhan'er is concerned, now Jing'er is my closest person, I can't help but help her get out of the predicament, even if it is at the risk of her identity being exposed, I will save Jing'er!" Tang Zhan's voice was small, but very firm.

So, Tang Zhan stood up, picked up the pear flower gun in his hand, and began to swing it slowly. "I have rarely practiced martial arts for more than 20 days, and my hand feels a little rusty......," Tang Zhan said, "Tonight, I will review all the moves and routines of the Tang family's overlord gun, and prepare for tomorrow!"

Then, Tang Zhan started with the simplest picking, plucking, and stabbing, and then gradually danced the gun, going through the moves of the Tang family's overlord gun one by one......

Tang Zhan had been selflessly reviewing his moves, not realizing that he had been practicing for two hours......

"Whew-this pear flower gun is really easy to use!" After practicing, Tang Zhan said excitedly, "It is worthy of being an ancestral treasure, and it will definitely be able to show its power tomorrow!"

Then, Tang Zhan wrapped the pear spear in a curtain cloth and put it away, yawned himself, and then rolled down on the bed. He simply put the quilt on his body and quickly fell asleep due to the fatigue after practicing martial arts......
