There were many festivals in the Song Dynasty, there were more than 70 of them, and a variety of large and small festivals emerged one after another, but the festival that was most valued by the Song people was the Yuan Day.

The first day of the Song people is equivalent to the Spring Festival in later generations, and Tang Ning only figured it out on this day.

No one came down early in the morning, and the Nanshan thieves, who lived on a few small peaks nearby, also came here early. Everyone's faces showed expressions of anticipation and joy, not because of the festival, but because Han Xiong would give a reward on this day to reward those who had contributed to the Nanshan Bandits in the past year.

Tang Ning was reading a book in the hut in the morning, and a copy of "The Analects" was read three times by this boring guy.

The more I look at it, the more I sneer at Zhao Pu's words of 'half of the treatise on ruling the world', what does he use to govern the world, he can't even cure hemorrhoids.

Just as Tang Ning was hiding in the hut and sneakily making nonsense to the sages, Liu Ling pushed the door and came in.

It was Tang Ning who was a thief, and Liu Ling pushed the door, startling Tang Ning and almost throwing out the books in his hand.

Books were a very precious resource in the Song Dynasty, and Liu Ling said that just such a book of "Analects", how could it cost eight or nine yuan on the market, that is, at least eight taels of silver!

When Tang Ning mentioned Bi Sheng and his movable type printing to Liu Ling, Liu Ling became obviously much more vigilant.

"How did you know about this man?"

"Movable type printing!" Downing shouted, "Such an important invention will surely be passed down through the ages with its creator, how can you, a spy, not know?" ”

When Liu Ling heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was not good-looking, and he snorted: "Passed down through the ages? I think it's a stench for 10,000 years, right? During the time of Emperor Yingzong, his descendants used this demon method to print fake Jiaozi, and they had already been punished by the Nine Clans.

Hehe, this is the first case in which my Great Song Dynasty has implicated the nine clans since the founding of the country. I advise you not to get involved with him, otherwise be careful that you will also be beheaded! ”

Speaking of which, there is no way to continue, Tang Ning never expected that since the invention of movable type printing, Liu Ling, as a member of the government, would have such an attitude.

The historical record of Bi Sheng is not detailed, Tang Ning only remembers that Shen Kuo wrote the words 'cloth cloth Bi Sheng' in "Mengxi Writings".

Shaking his head and throwing Bi Sheng out of his mind, Tang Ning closed the book, put it on the table, knocked his fingers on the table, and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Of course, I called you to go to the celebration banquet, hurry up and get ready, it will start before the time." Liu Ling's eyes flickered when he said this, Tang Ning had told him before that he wanted to make some movement at the celebration banquet on the first day, Liu Ling was naturally very much looking forward to it.

This guy has completely forgotten his reason for being here, and has generously handed over the task of exterminating the Nanshan Bandits to Tang Ning, while he is constantly monitoring Tang Ning on the side.

Tang Ning nodded, picked up his crockpot for brewing from the corner of the room, and said to Liu Ling: "Lead the way!" ”

"You're just going to take something like that?" Liu Ling's eyes widened.

Tang Ning blinked and said, "And this." As he spoke, he took out a paper bag from his arms, and when Liu Ling saw it, his wide-eyed eyes became slightly narrowed.

"Good calculation! It turns out that you called me crazy medicine a while ago to use it today. ”

"Hey, hey, just watch." Tang Ning took the paper bag back into his arms, then picked up the crockpot and followed behind Liu Ling, who led the way.

The whole Nanshan village is composed of the inner village and the outer village, the inner village is mainly the place where the leaders live, and the outer village is the storage of various materials, as well as the rolling wood and stone used for defense.

Because of this, Downing's thatched hut seems relatively quiet. If he is allowed to live in the inner village, I am afraid that the shouting of drinking and punching every night will make him crazy.

As soon as he got out of the hut, Tang Ning shivered, the weather was a little colder today. After walking a few steps, a noisy sound came from the front through the wall. Entering the gate of the inner village, Tang Ning frowned.

Although he had been mentally prepared, seeing the scene in front of him, Tang Ning still couldn't do Liu Ling's heart.

In front of the Juyi Hall where Han Xiong lives, there is the Yanwu platform of Nanshanzhai. The martial arts stage is located in the inner village, and the robbers are bored with their muscles and bones on weekdays, so they will find a guy who looks unhappy on the stage to compete.

The martial arts arena was surrounded by ragged minions, and some of the two people gathered around the stands on the side of the martial arts arena to fight, and shouted loudly with red faces.

But more than that, it's still holding a woman around on a cold day. Together, the people.

Nanshan robbery and plundering is generally the principle of four lights, robbing and burning all, killing all men, and stripping women naked. In addition to goods and money, the most robbed people in Nanshan were women.

Basically, these guys don't care about women's beauty and ugliness, as long as they have women's characteristics, they will snatch them back to the mountain.

Therefore, although there are 3,000 thieves in Nanshan, the number is far more than 3,000, and counting women and children, there are about five or six thousand people in the entire Nanshan.

Children are not qualified to come to the celebration banquet, and even some minions are not qualified. There are three big peaks in Nanshan, one for each of the three masters, and the Gumian Peak where Tangning is located is the main peak of Nanshan. When it came to the Yuan Day celebration banquet, that is, the three masters brought their leaders and the minions on the drum noodle peak to have a banquet here.

The minions of the two side peaks were not so lucky, and could only continue to nest in their caves and fantasize about how their boss was so happy at this banquet.

Downing turned his head in disgust, not looking at the casual friends. Together, the people. Although he had the heart to save these poor women from fire and water, it was clear that he did not have the ability to do so. Liu Ling beside him has this ability, but he doesn't care about the life or death of these women, his task is to exterminate the Nanshan bandits, not to save these poor women.

Thinking about this, Tang Ning even had a trace of disgust for Liu Ling.

His eyes fell on the martial arts stage, and there were two big men that Tang Ning was very familiar with standing on the stage.

One is Shen Cheng and the other is Ma Ping.

These two people often go to Tang Ning's hut to ask Tang Ning to help heal their injuries, Shen Cheng prefers to take the lead, and a guy like him is naturally easy to get hurt.

And Ma Ping is a little interesting, he is not weak, he is under the command of the second master, and I don't know what offended the second master, and he is often called as a coolie.

Obviously, relying on his ability, it is more than enough to serve as a probe leader in the Nanshan Village, but he has not been promoted for a long time.

There was a sense of resentment on this person's face, and his shots were even more ruthless. The saber made Shen Cheng on the opposite side scream again and again.

The corners of Tang Ning's mouth, who discovered the details of Ma Ping, curled slightly, it seems that there are still many chess pieces on this Nanshan that he has not discovered.

Although the rules of the martial arts stage are to the point, there are not a few people who kill people by mistake. The group of minions gathered below are pressed bets, life and death bets, victory and defeat bets, and even injury bets, I have to say that Zhang Qi is also a talent.

Looking at the appearance of this guy standing on the side with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks calling for someone to come over and bet, not to mention Shen Cheng on the stage, even Tang Ning wanted to smash it with a punch.

In front of the Juyi Hall, the robbers from the mountains this morning temporarily set up a platform that was not tall but not short.

There were three people sitting on the platform, Zhao Ren and Wang Qing on the left and right. Zhao Ren hugged a beautiful woman and enjoyed the food she fed him. And Wang Qing grabbed a roasted wild boar leg and chewed it, chewing while drinking, and muttered in a low voice: "The pork leg roasted by Ning Xiaozi is delicious, why can't grandpa get the taste he made, it's weird!" ”

Sitting in the middle was naturally Han Xiong, but he didn't eat or drink, and he was holding a nun in a monk's robe in his arms, and his face was red and red when he was teased by the nun.

"Master Han, you say, who will win the two on the stage?" The nun asked in Han Xiong's ear. Seeing that Han Xiong didn't speak, the nun laughed deliciously, clicked on Han Xiong, and exhaled in his ear: "The big boss wants to accept the preaching of the poor nun?" ”

Han Xiong stretched out his big hands and reached for the nun's chest, and the nun twisted and dodged, letting out a coquettish scolding. Han Xiong smiled and pretended to be profound: "It's hard to say...... It's hard to say......"

Answering two questions in one sentence, Han Xiong felt that he was extremely humorous.

Tang Ning glanced at it from a distance, then poked Liu Ling beside him and whispered, "This nun hasn't left yet?" Didn't you give her a lot of things last month? ”

"Just because she is a woman, with things in terms of cars, isn't she looking for robbery? The Nanshan thieves colluded with the Buddhism sect and did not rob the bald donkey, but the robbers in other places were not so easy to talk to. ”

"She's coming alone? I thought she was going up the mountain by herself, and her companion was waiting at the bottom of the mountain......"

"Usually you look very smart, why don't you have a bright brain now? Is it a matter of collusion between his Buddhism and robbers that it is worth sending people to receive supplies with great fanfare? The transportation still has to rely on Han Xiong to send people, otherwise why did this female bald donkey come to the physical preaching center here? ”
