Chapter 71: Justification
Since Zhao Tong entered the Zhenguo Army, Cheng Yang has been much more idle.
Although Cheng Yang likes to find Tang Ning's stubble many times, he is not a fool. As a member of the imperial family, Zhao Tong entered the Zhenguo Army, so he would naturally shoulder part of the function of supervising the army.
Considering that he is also old, it is better to hand over the power of the prison army to Zhao Yan, so that he can be much easier.
So Cheng Yang is now planning his retirement life all day long, and he hopes to receive Zhao Xu's will every day to retire immediately.
Elderly people, even if they are martial arts masters like Cheng Yang, can't afford to run around the world.
Su Song fell seriously ill after returning from Jiaozhi, but fortunately, Zhao Xu sent the imperial doctor to his home to observe at all times, so that Su Song's life was saved. Thinking of Su Song's experience, Cheng Yang had palpitations.
If he was sick like Su Song, would he not be able to get through it?
When Tang Ning came over, Cheng Yang was lying in the military tent taking a nap, and after inspecting the training of the Zhenguo Army and the ordnance, Tang Ning had nothing to do.
I couldn't see Cheng Yang left and right, so I looked for it directly.
As soon as he came in, Cheng Yang woke up, sat up and saw that it was Tang Ning, so he lay down again. Tang Ning smiled: "Old man, it's quite leisurely, I fell asleep during the afternoon nap." ”
Cheng Yang said in a sullen voice: "Did the official family allow you to come?" ”
"That's right." Tang Ning replied: "The official family is in a hurry, and I am allowed to come once in five days to supervise the training of the soldiers." ”
Cheng Yang looked at the top of the tent and blinked, but finally just sighed. It seems that he has long expected the current situation, and he is worthy of being the person who often accompanied the emperor. Even if you are not by the emperor's side, you can guess the emperor's thoughts.
The two were silent for a while, and Cheng Yang suddenly said: "Tang Ning, I'm old, I'm afraid I won't be able to play the things that the official family handed over to me."
Next, it's up to you! ”
When Tang Ning heard this, he only felt his shoulders sink. But he nodded anyway and replied, "I will, don't worry." ”
Cheng Yang smiled with satisfaction, and then waved his hand to drive Tang Ning out.
Downing then stayed in the barracks until dusk, and then returned home.
By the time I got home, dinner had already been eaten. Tang Ning asked the cook to order a big pot of noodles, and he had a small stove with Lin Wei, Qi Fu and the guards who went to the barracks with him.
After washing up after dinner, Tang Ning went back to the room. Wang Shi was reading a book, Tang Ning took off his clothes and lay on the bed, and hurriedly went to bed now.
……………………
After a month, the weather slowly got hotter. Tang Ning thought that today was still a routine routine, but Wu Desi came to visit an official.
When Tang Ning saw him, he suddenly thought of the White Lotus Sect assassins, so he invited the Martial Arts Priest to enter.
The little clerk seemed to have it after seeing Downing
was a little excited, Tang Ning saw that he was also a little familiar, and he was a little curious in his heart, so he asked his name.
"Under the surname Wu Mingsheng, I was fortunate to meet Danyang Hou in my early years......"
Tang Ning sighed, only to feel that Wu Sheng's name was a little familiar. As for what he said later, Tangning didn't care. He has dealt with Wu Desi a lot, and it is not a great thing that he has seen himself.
Then he took the clerk to the study, found a maid to make a cup of tea, and after bringing the teapot up, he let her retreat, leaving only the two of them alone in the study.
Tang Ning poured a cup of tea for Wu Sheng with a smile, and said with a smile: "I heard that Liu Gongshi has now been promoted to deputy envoy of martial arts, but Deputy Envoy Liu is elusive, and Ben Hou has not had time to go to congratulate him."
When you leave today, remember to remind me. I'll give you the gift for Vice Envoy Liu, and you can bring it to Vice Envoy Liu for me. ”
"Yes." Wu Sheng responded respectfully.
Then Tang Ning asked again: "Since you are here today, it means that the affairs of the White Lotus Society have a clue, right?" Come, tell me why the White Lotus Society sent assassins against me?
Are they trying to kill me, or are they trying to kill me? ”
Wu Sheng nodded and began to explain: "Here's the thing......"
It turned out that Qiao Chu and the member of the White Lotus Society, who had not been tortured, were sent out not to wait for an opportunity to assassinate Tang Ning.
That male assassin was not good at assassination, and his eloquence was one of the best in the White Lotus Society. This is also the reason why Wu Desi tortured him, because as long as he talked to him, this person would take the conversation to other places.
And Qiao Chu's task on this trip was to take the male member to see Tang Ning, wanting to persuade Tang Ning to join the gang.
After the death of the Buddha Yin monk, there were a series of personnel changes in the White Lotus Society. The newly appointed head coach is more radical, and he wants to strengthen the White Lotus Society.
The initial goal he set was to recruit members and raise funds to strengthen the White Lotus Society.
Tang Ning, as a powerful and rich guy at that time, must have fought for it.
But he didn't know that after the old monk Foyin dealt with Tang Ning twice, he no longer dared to provoke this person. Qi Xianyu defected to this kind of person who had to continue to chase and kill even if he reached the ends of the earth, and the old monk Buddha Yin let him go, and the current head of the sect didn't know what to think, so he actually paid attention to Tang Ning's head.
That's all Qiao Chu knows about this mission, and the rest are some lists and the like, which is inconvenient to explain to Tang Ning in detail, just a little bit of it.
Tang Ning couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it. I thought that these people were here to find Qi Xianyu's hatred, but who knows, they actually wanted to pull themselves into the gang.
Wu Sheng laughed and said, "The female assassin said that their master thinks that you are the same kind of person as him. has a strong ability, but is buried in talent.
The first point is strongly agreed with below
, but the second point, I don't think so. The official family attaches so much importance to you, how can it be said that you are buried? ”
Tang Ning shook his head and said: "People who engage in these things are always very confident, as the saying goes, if a lie is told a thousand times, it becomes the truth, and they say that they are the agents of this god and that Buddha, and they must have said it more than a thousand times."
I'm afraid that they themselves have been deceived by their own words, and they really feel that they are capable of heaven and have boundless mana. The Buddha Yin monk is still one of the more sensible, and it makes sense to reason with him.
Now that I've changed people, I don't know if it's a person who can understand people's words. ”
Thinking of this, Tang Ning remembered a series of things that happened after the White Lotus Society transformed into the White Lotus Sect in later generations.
At this time, the White Lotus Society is only a cancer in the eyes of some people, and most people still think that the White Lotus Society is a clear stream. However, as soon as the Buddha seal dies and the new head of the sect takes office, I am afraid that the changes in the White Lotus Society began at this time......
Wu Sheng finished talking about things and was about to leave, Tang Ning left him for lunch, and he was just a strong excuse. After that, he left the Danyang Hou Mansion, and it will take a while to return to the city.
After sending Wu Sheng away, Tang Ning called Lin Wei over.
"Master Hou, you call me?"
"Hmm." Tang Ning nodded and said, "I have good news for you. ”
When Lin Wei heard this, he smiled and continued: "Master Hou said that it was good news, then it must be good news." ”
Tang Ning poured Lin Wei a cup of tea and said with a smile: "You take a breath first, I'll speak slowly." ”
Lin Wei agreed, and drank the teacup.
"Qiao Chu's family has moved into Tokyo City......"
"Poof......
Before Tang Ning finished speaking, the tea in Lin Wei's mouth squirted out.
He said with a red face: "This ...... What does this have to do with me? Master Hou, the good news you said wouldn't be this, right? ”
Tang Ning laughed heartily: "It's not many times to see you like this!" Ha ha! ”
Lin Wei smiled bitterly: "If you want to make fun of the villain, just make fun of it, you don't have to ...... like this."
Tang Ning sighed, waved his hand and said, "I'm not making fun of you, this is what the person from Wu Desi came to tell me just now."
Besides, why does this matter have nothing to do with you? I think you're obviously very interesting to that girl Qiao.
You're not young, you're almost forty, and it's time to think about the future. ”
Lin Wei was about to speak, but Tang Ning stretched out a hand and motioned for him to shut up and not speak.
"I know, you don't want to look for it anymore. But if you think about it, it is not a bad thing to have one more person around you who knows cold and hot in the days to come.
If you are sick, although the maid at home will not abandon you or anything, but after all, it is not more meticulous than a caring person, right? ”
