Volume 1 The Milk Tiger Roars Valley, and the Beasts Are Terrified! Chapter 20: The Precocious Downing

"Won't you knock when you come in! Pretending to be a ghost in broad daylight, you want to scare me to death? Downing shouted angrily.

Iron Spear Zhu blinked his eyes with four fingers, and said slowly: ""Zuo's Spring and Autumn Festival" is one of the three legends of Spring and Autumn. At your age, it's too early to read this book. ”

Tang Ning didn't know what this person meant, he had been in Nanshanzhai for so long, except for Zhao Ren, there were only Han Xiong's henchmen, and Zhu Sizhi had not had much contact.

But I heard that this man is good at using spears, and he is invincible with spears. The government has been making frequent moves recently, so Han Xiong also assigned Zhu Si out, thinking that he would have the opportunity to contact this person, but he didn't think about it, and this person has not been injured for more than three months.

Now that this guy is saying this to himself, it is a temptation to keep it up. Tang Ning pursed his lips and said, "If you can get the Analects, a book suitable for my age, I am also very interested." But no one has sent me a copy so far, which really disappoints me. ”

Zhu Sizhi laughed when he heard this, took out a pile of paper from his chest and threw it on Tang Ning's table, and said in a cold voice: "Who are you!" What exactly are you going to do? ”

Tang Ning pretended to be calm, but his heart was beating hard. Moved his eyes to the paper that was smashed on the table by Zhu Sizhi, there was a person's name written on the first page, and there was a cause of death behind it, Tang Ning frowned and pressed a little tighter, and found that the cause of death was beaten to death by a stick.

"Since the third year of Yuan You, a total of 37 people have been beaten to death by sticks, all on these few pieces of paper. If you take a closer look, is there any master you have? Zhu Sizhi said with a sneer.

Tang Ning raised his head, looked at Zhu Sizhi, then slowly stood up, and said in a mocking tone: "My master was beaten to death by Zhizhou at home. How can you have my master's name on this piece of paper? Zhizhou kills people, and you will also write it on this piece of paper? ”

Zhu Sizhi looked Tang Ning up and down, licked his lips and asked, "The Analects and the Book of Filial Piety are both enlightenment readings, didn't your master teach you to read these two books?" ”

"Zi said: 'Reviewing the old and learning the new can be a teacher.'" Although I can't be a teacher, it doesn't stop me from learning from the past. Tang Ning grinned and said, "A reckless martial artist like you, what else does he know besides knowing a name?" ”

Zhu Sizhi was not angry, nodded, and walked out. Tang Ning was very puzzled in his heart, this guy came to do it inexplicably, and he didn't know what it was for.

I thought he would go straight out of the house, but I didn't expect him to move two chairs to top the door. Then he walked back, looked at Tang Ning, and asked with a very serious expression: "Why are you provoking the relationship between Shen Cheng and Zhang Qi?" ”

When Tang Ning heard this, his eyes suddenly narrowed. After looking Zhu Sizhi up and down, he leisurely went to the small wooden chair under him, leaned his back on the back of the chair, and said, "Between the two of them, there is no need to provoke, one will die sooner or later." I'm just speeding up the process because I'm not going to waste too much time here. ”

"With your words, I can know that your master is definitely not a simple person. Why is he unwilling to come out to be an official, but to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests? ”

"Why don't you live in seclusion in the mountains? You see, if this Nanshan is without these annoying robbers, wouldn't it still be a beautiful scenery? What's so bad about living in seclusion in the mountains and forests and spending time with this beautiful scenery? ”

"I have a wide range of things in the Great Song Dynasty, and I don't know how many places with better scenery than Nanshan ......"

"Has the sound of flies buzzing on the Zichen Hall ever stopped?"

"The shaft is rude! How can the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty be compared with flies! ”

"Zhu Sizhi, you are a robber now, you have to follow my words. Han Xiong is very ambitious, where can he tolerate a person who wants to accept Zhao'an? ”

Zhu Sizhi sneered, knowing that what Tang Ning said was reasonable. Instead of continuing to dwell on this issue, he asked a new question: "Where is the Venerable Master now?" Why did you come here to be a doctor on this South Mountain? You have no respect for the court, isn't it true that as you said, you can't rebel? ”

"The teacher has gone west, and the kid is here only to avenge the lives of seven or more innocent people. If you want the kid to be in awe of the government that has connived at the Nanshan thieves for ten years, please forgive the kid for not being able to do it.

As for the rebellion, the kid had no intention of doing so. The biggest wish of the boy's life is to spend his life in peace and stability. Joining Nanshanzhai is the first and last adventure for the kid. Tang Ning replied lightly.

Zhu Sizhi sighed, hid his face and said, "I'm really ashamed...... It is not the connivance of the government, but the quality of the soldiers in the Jiangnan area is not high. If there is no forbidden army to help......"

"It's useless for you to say this." Tang Ning waved his hand and said impatiently: "And we have said enough today, beware of the ears on the wall." ”

Zhu Sizhi blinked his eyes and said, "No one is going down the mountain today, you don't have to worry about being broken." ”

"Then how did Shen Cheng get hurt?"

"He took three people down in the morning, the day before yesterday at the bottom of the mountain, his men were hacked to death by the dart master of the Changhong Dart Bureau, four or five, this time down the mountain, is to enter the city to seek revenge.

happened to come back from the Changhong Dart Bureau, and the two sides fought again, and he was injured. ”

Tang Ning nodded, and then asked, "Then again, who are you?" Are you from the government, or have you been recruited? How the hell did you find me? ”

Zhu Sizhi smiled very high and unfathomable, and Tang Ning was stunned.

"I like to talk to very smart people, like you. I don't have to pick on a lot of things, you can know my identity in one sentence.

My purpose is the same as yours, and I am committed to this for the purpose of exterminating the Nanshan bandits. I have watched you for three months, and I have seen everything you do.

People like us also know a little bit about medicine. With some of your cleverness, it's no problem to deceive these unsavvy robbers on Nanshan, but it's a bit dwarfed to deceive me.

There are some injuries, you don't need to cut your arms and saw your legs, you just have to cripple people. That alone is enough for me to see that you have bad intentions towards the Nanshan Bandits. ”

Tang Ning laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'm a barefoot doctor who will only treat diseases like this?" ”

"How can a person who can stitch a wound with a needle and thread be a barefoot doctor?" Zhu Sizhi pursed his lips, sat on the straw mat in front of the table and crossed his legs, and said with interest: "Tell me about your plan and see what the difference is from mine." ”

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "You haven't answered my question yet, who are you?" ”

In the face of a person like Tang Ning, Zhu Sizhi couldn't afford to despise him at all. Although most of the robbers don't take Downing seriously, they only treat him as a teenage kid, at best, a good-looking kid.

But as Zhu Sizhi, he has been in contact with too many precocious children. This kind of child has a common characteristic, that is, he has a very deceptive appearance, but he hides an extremely dangerous heart inside, of course, there are also kind-hearted people, but Zhu Sizhi has very little contact.

I knew that if I didn't say it, this conversation wouldn't go on. Although I also doubt in my heart whether this kid is reliable, it is better to have one more ally than one less. And in terms of the three months that Zhu Sizhi observed, Tang Ning was a very cautious person. This made Zhu Sizhi even more afraid to treat Tang Ning as a ten-year-old child, and if he wanted to get help from this kind of person, he couldn't do it with sincerity. These are the words of the official family themselves.

"A certain family's surname is Liu Mingling, but it is an eagle dog under the hands and feet of the Son of Heaven, and a certain family can only tell you so much." Zhu Sizhi replied in a muffled voice.

Tang Ning nodded and said, "That's enough, if you're recruited." You won't be able to get out of this door. ”

Liu Ling couldn't help but smile: "Why, you still want to kill a certain family?" Although Liu Ling never looked down on Tang Ning, with Tang Ning's small figure, saying such things still made people want to laugh.

Tang Ning picked up the tea bowl on the table, took a leisurely sip of tea, and then said with a smile: "What do you think I am talking to you so much for?" ”

Liu Ling shook his head and said with a smile: "Pretend to be a ghost...... and get up to leave, as soon as Na Zhigang stood up, a sharp knife suddenly jumped out of the straw mat where he was still sitting just now, and stabbed straight at Liu Ling's lower body......
