Fortunate Young Gentleman

Tang Ning looked at Zheng the Butcher and asked in surprise: "You want to go to Chu with me?"

One of the things that worried him the most was that he would not have a decent master to protect him when he went to Chu. Although the marriage was a major matter and there would be many guards accompanying him, he still needed a reliable bodyguard when encountering special circumstances.

Zheng the Butcher was not as powerful as the old beggar, but with a butcher knife on his waist, he was definitely qualified for this position.

But the question was, why did he do this? Just because he saved Nannan?

Although this reason made sense, it obviously did not convince Tang Ning.

Zheng the Butcher explained: "I have some things to do in Chu this time. It happened that I was going the same way as you. During this time, I will ask you to take care of Nannan."

Although he didn't know what he had to do in Chu, Tang Ning was relieved of most of his worries by having such a master accompany him, so he naturally would not refuse.

The little girl had been ill for a long time and was weak. Tang Ning arranged for them to stay in the mansion first. There was still nearly a month before the departure. By then, Nannan should have recovered enough, and Zheng the Butcher could leave without worry.

During this time, he still had a lot of things to arrange.

The palace set a time limit. Within five days, the Ministry of Rites must set all the rules. Although it was a little different from what Tang Ning expected, the new female official in Changning Palace was easy to talk to. As a marriage envoy, he would not be stopped from entering and leaving Changning Palace during this period, even if there was no suitable reason.

In Changning Palace, Zhao Man looked at him expectantly and asked, "When are we leaving..."

In the past, she was obviously unhappy because of the marriage, and she was almost depressed. Since Tang Ning served as the marriage envoy, she actually looked forward to it.

Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "Isn't it good in the palace? Why are you in such a hurry to leave? You will be tired from the journey and it will not be as relaxing as it is now." Zhao Man held her chin with both hands and said, "After leaving, I can be with you all the time. It would be great if I could walk on the road for a lifetime..." The little girl thought about things so naively. Tang Ning didn't want to delay on the road for a lifetime. He still had a lot of things to do in his life. After accompanying her in Changning Palace for a while, Tang Ning walked out of the palace. He did not go home, but came to the North District of the capital accompanied by Zheng the Butcher. Most of the people living in the North District were poor. It was the poorest and most chaotic place in the capital. Tang Ning bought a large piece of land here at a very cheap price and built many houses. This is the location of the headquarters of the Beggar Gang in the capital. Near the capital, I dare not say that 100%, but nearly 90% of the beggars were recruited by Liu Laoer. In addition to begging, they also worked as shop assistants and collected information. When Tang Ning walked into the yard, someone came forward to report. Liu Laoer walked out of the house quickly and said hurriedly: "The leader has arrived. Do you have any instructions?"

The Beggars' Sect here is not like the legendary Beggars' Sect, which is the largest sect in the world and has strong strength. No one dares to provoke it, but fortunately they have many people, special professions, and are not conspicuous. They can often do things that others cannot do.

Tang Ning needs Liu Laoer to arrange some people to keep an eye on the Tang family and the dignitaries he has dealt with, to prevent them from doing something out of line in a moment of heat.

Liu Laoer nodded and said: "Don't worry, leader, I will definitely get this done!"

He thought for a while, looked at Tang Ning again, and said: "The journey is long, do you want to bring some brothers with you to take care of you?"

Tang Ning nodded. As a wedding envoy, he can bring 20 followers, and he also needs some people of his own along the way.

Liu Laoer looked aside and told a disciple, "Pick out 20 core disciples and wait for the leader's orders along the way."

The core disciples of the Beggars' Sect can do more than just beg for food. The old beggar taught them some formations and basic martial arts. After more than a year, these disciples have some skills. They may not be able to fight alone, but if ten or twenty of them gather together, it will be difficult for ordinary martial arts masters to escape.

After arranging the affairs of the Beggars' Sect, Tang Ning went to Tianranju again.

He pushed open Su Mei's courtyard door and saw Tang Shui sitting at the stone table in the courtyard.

In order not to attract attention, he made an appointment with Princess Anyang through Zhao Man, and then made an appointment with her in a roundabout way through Princess Anyang.

What Tang Ning was most worried about was that after he left, the Tang family would do something small. It was not enough to have Liu Laoer send people to watch them. If Tang Shui could be captured or dealt with, it would be like having double insurance.

Tang Ning walked up to her and said, "I will be the envoy to the marriage this time, and will accompany the princess to the State of Chu."

Tang Shui nodded and said, "I know."

"It may take a long time to come back this time." Tang Ning looked at her and said, "If the Tang family makes any moves after I leave, can you...cousin come here to tell Miss Su?"

He would not make it difficult for her to deal with the Tang family. Just passing the message to Su Mei would be enough for her to make some preparations in advance.

"Okay." Tang Shui answered very straightforwardly.

"Thank you, cousin."

"You're welcome. I'm in the capital, you don't have to worry. You have to be careful when you are outside."

Su Mei walked out of the room. Tang Shui glanced at her and said to Tang Ning, "I'll go talk to my aunt."

Because she has to come here often, she is no longer as tit-for-tat with Su Mei as before, but the two of them are not friends. Maybe it is a certain nature of women. Whether it is Tang Shui, Tang Yaoyao or Zhao Man, they are not as good as each other. Su Mei, who is among the top women in terms of figure, appearance and temperament, has a natural resistance.

Su Mei sat on the swing, swaying from time to time, and sighed, saying, "I won't be able to sleep well for at least half a year again."

Her sleep is actually much better than at the beginning. She can fall asleep holding a doll, but it is just that it is difficult to enter a deep sleep.

Tangning looked at her and suggested, "I recently prepared a medicine that can make people sleep for several hours. It may cause dizziness and nausea as side effects. Do you want to try it?"

"Forget it..."

Su Mei looked at him as if he was that kind of medicine, so Tang Ning had no choice but to give up that thought.

Su Mei sighed leisurely and then said: "Put away the things I gave you and use them for self-protection in critical moments. Your trip to Chu Country this time did not go as smoothly as you imagined. Regardless of the situation along the way. Not to mention the countless green forest bandits, you may also encounter considerable resistance after arriving in Chu State... No matter what happens, you must remember that saving your life is important. "

When she first came here, Tangning was still desperately thinking about returning to her original world. Now, these thoughts have gradually faded away.

Rather than being a loner without family or friends in another world, he prefers this place with family and friends.

Whether it was Tang Shui or Su Mei, this feeling of being truly cared for by someone was something he could not experience in another world.

"You must take care of yourself." Su Mei looked at him and warned seriously: "If something happens to you, where can I find such good medicine..."

Tang Ning's hard-won emotion was interrupted by her. She was worried that Lao Zheng had been waiting outside for a long time. When Tang Shui came out of the backyard, he went out with her.

Su Mei sent them out of the courtyard. When the three of them walked out, Butcher Zheng, who was leaning on a tree by the lake, clapped his hands and walked over.

At a certain moment, Tang Shui and Su Mei's expressions suddenly changed, and their expressions became extremely nervous.

"you go first."

Seeing the person in front of him striding forward, Su Mei and Tang Shui appeared in front of him on the left and right, and said in unison.

Butcher Zheng continued to walk towards this side, feeling the pressure coming from the front. Su Mei gently touched her hand on her waist, and a soft sword appeared in her hand.

"Take him away." Su Mei glanced at Tang Shui, and then looked intently at Butcher Zheng who was walking over.

"Be careful." Tang Shui glanced at Su Mei, grabbed Tang Ning's wrist, and whispered, "Let's go!"

"What are you doing?" Tangning looked at them in surprise and said, "Don't be nervous, we are on our own..."

Butcher Zheng walked over, looked at Su Mei, then at Tang Shui, and finally at Tang Ning, and said, "These two girls are pretty good."
