Dragon Soul in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 168

Shuzhong Tangmen is located in Tangjia Village, Daxing Town, Bashu. As soon as you enter Sichuan, you can see a large stone castle. If you don’t know it, you might think it’s the castle of a big landlord!

In this Tangjia Village, everyone knows how to use fist and palm kung fu. It may be said that a certain old man who is resting at the door of his house was once a famous master walking in the rivers and lakes, but now the entire Tangjia Village has no usual lively atmosphere. Some dignified.

But today it seems that the dignified atmosphere has been broken. Today is the [-]th birthday of Tang Zechuan, the head of the Tang family. Heroes from all over the world have also arrived today. All these seem to be arranged, which is really a coincidence.

I saw a few more riders coming from the entrance of the village. The first one had a sturdy body and a strong figure. He looked at the lively Tangjia Village and laughed, "If you want me to say, this Tang family is afraid of birds. If you don’t believe me, if her red-clothed army dares to attack, she will lead people to hide on the mountain, how can the red-clothed army stay there for a lifetime, and when the time comes down the mountain, the red-clothed army will have to look good.”

The other person shook his head and said, "Brother Chen, I think you are the only one with the guts. You don't know that the whole world is now spreading rumors about how powerful the Red Clothes Army is. People, every single one of them is a master."

"Brother Jiang, you are so ignorant. As far as I know, the natives in front are rampant! As a result, the army only had a dozen or so people, and if they said they would kill them, they would kill them. That's thousands of people! Tsk tsk! Think about it , How much blood was stained on each of their hands, and how heavy the evil spirit must be, just thinking about it makes people feel chills on the back." Another person immediately said.

Now the Tang family is fighting against the Red Army, gathering the entire Sichuan gentry to form an allied army of 18, and Qin Liangyu's [-] stone pillar soldiers were all defeated by the Red Army's subordinates. The trend of the world.

Now these people in the Jianghu dare to come to Tangmen to pay their respects, not because they are not afraid of the Red Army, but because of the so-called loyalty they walk in the Jianghu, and they are not worth mentioning with the Red Army. Yijun wanted to deal with them, but it was a waste of effort to fight mosquitoes with cannons.

The Tang family village is quite uncomfortable with today's hustle and bustle, but the head of the Tang family can always be regarded as one of the masters of the martial arts world. Today, so many people are not afraid of the red-clothed army and come to pay their respects. Quite grateful.

At this time, on the blue brick and white walls of Tangjiabao, there are red lanterns representing festive occasions, and stickers with the word "Shou" are pasted everywhere. It is a joyous scene. Now that the Tang Sect is in such a dangerous situation, how dare they do this? Zhang Yang's big banquet was not because the members of the Tang family were stupid, but because they needed such an opportunity to gather people from the Jianghu together to discuss the future of the Tang family.

In a small quiet courtyard in Tangjiabao, the walls are covered with moss. Few people come here, but today there is a lot of people here, because everyone in the Tang family who can make decisions and speak up has arrived Here, the person sitting at the top is naturally Tang Zechuan, the head of the Tang Sect.

Although Tang Zechuan is eighty years old, his appearance is clear and plump, and his eyes are extremely radiant. Sitting in the chair of a grand master, his speech is even more majestic: "On my birthday today, I will say these words Open up and say, if my Tang family has been defeated by our generation for hundreds of years, we will all be sinners, so everyone here today, don’t play any tricks, it’s meaningless, and there’s no future.”

"If that's the case, then hand over Tang Zexian. These disasters are all caused by him. As the saying goes, rewards are given for meritorious deeds, and punishments are punished for demerits. Does he, the chief culprit, still want to take shelter at home? It's time to come out and take responsibility for the crime. time." I saw a man with a gray beard and triangular eyes full of sinisterness, but his speech was a bit strange, which made people feel uncomfortable.

After being stabbed like this, the rest of the Tang family couldn't bear it any longer, and they all started clamoring: "Yes! Yes! Tang Zexian did it himself, why should we be blamed for Chiyu?"

Looking at the excited Tang family, those who had planned to wait and see also had ugly faces, and all began to denounce in a low voice. At this time, Tang Zexian has completely become a street rat.

Tang Zexian still looks like a handsome young man, dressed in white, with a jade face and a golden crown. Everyone's scolding and shouting are always so ridiculous to him. He smiled slightly, showing neat white teeth, and opened the door with a snap. The folding fan in his hand was chic and unrestrained: "Okay, don't you just want me to confess? It doesn't matter if I confess. You all know in your heart what the red-clothed army really wants. This is nothing more than deceiving yourself and others."

"Shut up!" Tang Zechuan snorted coldly, slapped the table hard, and looked around the crowd with anger rising in his eyes: "You are all promising, before the red army came, you learned to fight in the nest, four Brother, what do you want to do, you want the Tang family to split first, so that you can be happy, what is your intention, do you want to take the old man's position?"

The triangular-eyed old man quickly restrained the gloomy look in his eyes, stood up quickly, and said respectfully: "I dare not, elder brother is the head of the Tang family for a day, and he will be the head of the Tang family for the rest of his life. I am just an outsider." Forget it, how can there be any qualifications to be the head of the Tang family."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people in the entire meeting hall changed. Everyone knew Sima Zhaozhi's heart. If Tang Laosi really didn't have the heart to fight, he wouldn't expose his old background and put some shady things aside. out.

No matter how intriguing the members of the Tang family are, this moment is always the [-]th birthday of the head of the Tang family. The Tang family who are receiving guests outside are busy with business, so they can't lose face of the Tang family and invite people in politely.

"Kandong hero Wang Laosi, send ten good Korean ginseng..."

"Qin Meng, a ranger from Shaanxi, give me a refined iron sword..."

Every time someone came outside the door, they sang and drank loudly and reported their gifts. As the saying goes, people who are poor, rich and powerful, walk in the rivers and lakes, the rich abound, and the poor are like beggars. Most people in the world don't care about these, but after all, they have to pay attention to face and return gifts, so the things they give out are very particular.

Those who came to pay their respects to the birthday entered the Tangjiabao and found a place to sit down. It was not the time for the banquet, so they had to wait until evening. Those who were bored could go to enjoy the stage set up by the Tangjiabao, but most of them gathered in twos and threes Let's study and discuss some martial arts matters together.

Zhu Gan and his entourage quickly arrived near the Tang family. Looking at the scene of people coming and going, they found out after inquiring that it was the [-]th birthday of the head of the Tang family. It was a coincidence, but then a trace of emotion appeared on his face. The smile was beyond reason, but within expectation.

Looking at the two people on the side, he said with a smile: "You tell me, what should I give to the old man of the Tang family for his [-]th birthday to show my heart!"

Wang Chengen couldn't understand what Zhu Gan was going to do, pondered for a moment, and said: "Just send a bronze bell over there, the evening drum and the morning bell, just to wake them up."

Zhu Gan burst out laughing, stretched out a thumb to Wang Chengen, and said with a laugh: "If you really send a bronze bell, it's not a wake-up call, it's a curse to the Tang family. You have to fight against me endlessly! By then, Sichuan will not be peaceful."

I saw Wuming who had been silent and never spoke, slowly stroked the iron sword in his hand, and said without raising his head: "Give me a sword, a good sword, a peerless sword."

"I think you are about to become a slut." Zhu Gan was sweating profusely. The two unreliable people shook their heads, thought about it by themselves, and rode ahead.

"My lord, wait a minute." An urgent voice came from behind.

Zhu Gan looked back, and saw a man dressed in rags, riding a skinny bay red horse. This man smiled at Zhu Gan, showing his yellow teeth, with a green vegetable leaf stuck between his front teeth. But without realizing it, he smiled at Zhu Qian and said, "My lord, don't you know what birthday gift to give? You've asked the right person, I think Huang Yilong, nicknamed 'Huang Daxian', you can figure it out if you count your fingers What is missing in this Tang family elder, and what can I give to please him."

"Oh! Really?" Zhu Gan was full of smiles. It was rare for him to come out and lie down. When he met a magic stick, he would have to tease him a lot. He was so happy that he immediately laughed and said, "Huang Daxian is! You can do it all!" Something earth-shattering has happened!"

What Huang Yilong is most afraid of is that the person he fooled will turn his head and leave without speaking. He has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and when he sees Zhu Gan's temperament and the two people following behind him, he knows that he must be the son of a high-ranking official. After learning some deeds in the world, I thought about traveling around the world.

This kind of person will do some extreme things when he is a little agitated. Such a person is just like a fool.

Complacent, for a while, the yellow teeth were exposed more, and the stench was full of mouth. He pretended to be mysterious and pinched his fingers, but gradually his face became gloomy and solemn, his eyebrows were furrowed. He gave Zhu Gan a look, and without saying a word, he patted his horse and left.

Seeing his appearance, Zhu Qian's heart sank, he could have seen something, and quickly asked: "Huang Daxian, what did you see, you are talking!"

"My lord, don't reveal the secret, don't say it, don't say it!" Huang Yilong just ignored him, patted his horse and hurried away.

The more this strange man was like this, the more uneasy Zhu Gan felt. He rode his horse for two steps, and suddenly came to Huang Yilong's front, reached out and grabbed the rein in his hand, and said in a cold voice: "If you don't tell me, I will do it right now." If you kill you, you don't have to wait for the secret to be revealed, and God will punish you."

"My lord, why are you doing this?" Huang Yilong's face was full of grief and indignation, he reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said sadly: "My lord is an indescribable person, how can there be anything, nothing will happen, I'm just blind It’s just a pass, nothing more.”
