Chapter Seventy-Three: Slipping Away
The soft and prickly words made Ah Ling look a little embarrassed, turned his head to look at Zhao Ren, who was covering his thighs with a resentful expression, and then looked at Tang Ning, whose face was as usual.
Ah Ling sighed and said, "Alas, why bother? With that, he let go of Downing's hand.
"Although he is a wanted criminal in your Song Kingdom, he is just a guest with me. You said you came with good intentions, so I hope there won't be any more bloodshed in the future. ”
Tang Ning agreed with a smile, glanced at Zhao Ren, and then took Pei Xiantong and Lin Wei to turn around and leave under the gaze of everyone.
Along the way, the Qingtang warriors were very wary of Tang Ning, for fear that Tang Ning would break out and hurt people again. However, it wasn't until Tang Ning left the tribe with the people and returned to the place where the Song army was stationed outside, he didn't even look back.
Ah Ling watched Tang Ning's figure disappear from his sight, then turned his head and said to Zhao Ren, who had stopped the bleeding for him: "You haven't told me that there is such a thing." ”
Zhao Ren can speak Qingtang dialect, although it is very lame, but communication is not a problem.
Hearing Ah Ling say this, Zhao Ren pulled the corners of his mouth and said: "The king doesn't know, in our Song Kingdom, powerful people want to treat an ordinary person as a wanted criminal, don't be too simple. ”
"So why would an ordinary person come here and ask me to buy five hundred horses?" Ah Ling stared at Zhao Ren and said, "If you bought it for your family's guards, I think, is five hundred horses too much?" ”
Zhao Ren smiled bitterly and said: "It's not a secret, I'm just running errands for those big people." They needed horses, so they sent their subordinates to ask the king to buy them.
The same thing has been done several times before under it. It may be for this reason that their officers and soldiers will be listed as wanted criminals below.
If you have any concerns, you can return to the Song Kingdom and find someone else to come and discuss this deal with the king. ”
Ah Ling pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it, since you have come here and brought so many weapons, you can't let you go back empty-handed." ”
When Zhao Ren heard this, it was hard not to be happy. Nodding and smiling, he said, "Thank you, King!" ”
………………
"It's a pity that I didn't kill this bastard Zhao Ren!" Back in his big tent, Tang Ning said angrily.
"Dog officer, that Zhao or something, you have a grudge against him?" Pei Xiantong had been asking for a long time, and Tang Ning's performance in the Qingtang tribe just now really surprised her.
Her impression of Tang Ning is completely greedy for life and afraid of death, and she is afraid of the tail. After being warned, he had to hurt people again, not like Tang Ning could do it.
Tang Ning glanced at Pei Xiantong and sighed: "This Zhao Ren was originally a robber on the Nanshan Mountain in Runzhou, and the entire Liangzhejiang Road was plagued by the Nanshan bandits.
Later, the Nanshan thieves were exterminated by a trick, and the three leaders, Han Xiong, Wang Qing, and Zhao Ren, should have died in that chaos
In the middle of the war.
However, Zhao Ren was hit by countless arrows and became a hedgehog, and in the end he let him run away.
The people sent by the government to deal with this matter searched for a long time but did not find him, and at that time everyone thought he was dead. But then I had a conflict with the Changhong Dart Bureau, and a group of bandits entered the house.
Luckily, my brother was at home and got rid of all these bandits. After cross-examination, I found out that these people were employed by a mysterious person named Mr. Ann.
He teamed up with the Changhong Dart Bureau to get rid of me as soon as possible.
Later, I investigated for a while and found out that this Mr. An was Zhao Ren.
His life was too hard, and the officers and soldiers encircled and suppressed the Nanshan bandits for the second time, with him as the main target, but they failed to catch him.
If this man doesn't die, I won't be able to sleep for a day. I thought he would live in the dark like a tide worm for the rest of his life, but I didn't expect to see him here. ”
Tang Ning said as he poured a cup of tea for Pei Xiantong and himself.
There was no one else in the big tent, only him and Pei Xiantong. Lin Wei went to unload his armor and couldn't come back for a while.
Pei Xiantong pursed his lips and whispered: "When I still wanted to kill you, you also had trouble sleeping." Do you have no trouble sleeping as long as you have an enemy? ”
Tang Ning shook his head and said, "You are different from him, you are trying to kill me, he is going to kill my whole family." Where is this a concept? ”
After saying that, he took a sip of tea and leaned back on the chair to close his eyes and recuperate.
"So what now?" Pei Xiantong blinked: "Why don't I help you kill him?" ”
"No, Ah Ling knows that he has a holiday with us, and just like that, he still wants to keep Zhao Ren, which shows that Zhao Ren has brought him something that he can't refuse.
So once you do it, the materials promised by Zhao Ren are not given to Ah Ling, Ah Ling will definitely treat us as a punching bag, and the Qingtang people are stronger than the Song people and fiercer than the Song people, it is too dangerous for you to do this. Downing sighed.
"Oh." Pei Xiantong responded, with no expression on his face, but the hand holding the teacup was slightly tighter.
"I really want to wait here until Zhao Ren leaves, and then I will kill him directly to prevent future troubles.
But time waits for no one, and the brothers in Wabui Village are still waiting to be fed with their mouths open...... It's a real headache, and this time I can only let him go. ”
"But I can wait here!" Pei Xiantong volunteered: "You leave me some supplies, leave a horse, I will kill him here after he leaves." ”
Tang Ning raised his eyebrows and said, "I've actually wanted to say this for a long time, you girl don't shout and kill all day long." Although you are a Taoist priest, no one has said that a priest cannot marry.
I look at your appearance, sooner or later, you will be eaten to death by a hero
Target. When the time comes, if you are still thinking about fighting and killing, how can you teach your husband and children?
Even if you don't have a husband, you can't teach your child to fight and cut people from an early age, right?
If you have time, read more books to improve your ideological realm. I have a few books here that I can lend you if you want to read them. ”
Pei Xiantong blushed and said, "Who ...... Who wants to have a husband and children! ”
"Isn't it? Do you want to live a single life like your master? ”
"Yes...... What's the problem? ”
"First, you don't have a companion when you're old, and second, you don't have any descendants who can take care of your life when you're old. Third, in the second half of your long life, you will definitely regret why I didn't find a husband before.
This is not nonsense, in the case of men and women who have been single I have personally met, they are all full of ambition at the beginning and regret it in the end. ”
"That's right." Pei Xiantong replied very perfunctorily, and said with his head down.
Tang Ning looked at her like this, as if he had been told something sad. did not continue to say the following, but Pei Xiantong had great expectations for the following.
She is one or two years older than Tang Ning.
Double Ten Girl, at the age of the beginning of love, is practicing martial arts day and night, and she doesn't even have time to like anyone.
It wasn't until today, when Tang Ning said this, that Pei Xiantong had that hazy feeling. was expecting Tang Ning to continue, but Tang Ning closed his mouth like a dead man, took out a book, and knocked on Erlang's leg to look at it.
Pei Xiantong burst into a nameless fire, snorted angrily, and twisted his head to the side.
Tang Ning glanced up at Pei Xiantong, he didn't know how many times the same thing had happened to Liu Yi'er. Generally, at this time, keep your mouth tightly closed, and talk again after a while, so that the survival rate will be improved a lot.
So Tangning lowered his head again and continued to read.
Pei Xiantong was furious, wanting to be angry with Tang Ning, but he couldn't find any excuse.
The only reason I can think of is that you don't care about me at all.
Bah! Who wants this dog officer to care? Pei Xiantong scolded Tang Ning in his stomach for a long time, if his eyes could kill, Tang Ning would have to become meat sauce at this time.
Snorting again, Pei Xiantong got up and left the big tent.
Tang Ning was also happy to be idle, took a sip of tea, lowered his head and continued to read.
It didn't take long for Alling's men to arrive. He had come to receive what the Zhenjiang army had brought, and at the same time to bring him the supplies that Tang Ning needed.
After the transaction was over, Tang Ning asked the Qingtang man to convey his gratitude to Ah Ling for himself, and then packed up his things and left here.
Three days later, he returned to Wabui Village.
