Fortunate Young Gentleman

The Chu court did not express any response to the beating of the prince yesterday. Early the next morning, guards came to report the incident and someone came from the East Palace.

The East Palace is where the prince's power lies. When Tang Ning arrived at a certain hall, Lu Teng was already inside.

Lu Teng pointed to the official of the Prince's Mansion and introduced: "This is Prince Zhan Shi, Lord Wang."

Tang Ning cupped her hands and said, "I wonder what Wang Zhan is doing now?"

Prince Zhan Shi looked at him and said: "Yesterday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was beaten by thugs in the Jinxiu Palace. The Prince's Mansion hopes that the two adults can hand over the leading villain and let the Prince's Mansion deal with it."

The young general standing behind Lu Teng trembled.

Tang Ning looked at Prince Zhan Shi and asked, "Is this the intention of your imperial court or the East Palace?"

Prince Zhan Shi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there any difference?"

Tangning looked at him, suddenly smiled, and said, "What a coincidence. After knowing that yesterday's assassin turned out to be the prince, we already severely punished him and asked him to pack his things and go back. Wang Zhan came a step too late."

Prince Zhan Shi looked at him, narrowed his eyes and said, "Beating the prince is a serious crime. I hope your envoy can understand."

Tang Ning said, "So we punished him severely and let him go back."

Prince Zhan Shi's eyes narrowed even more, and a fierce light emerged from the narrow gap.

Tang Ning looked at him and said in surprise: "Is Wang Zhanshi sleepy? If he is, he should go back and rest early."

"you……"

Prince Zhan Shi pointed at him, then just waved his sleeves and strode away.

Naturally, there is no comparison between the Prince's Palace and the imperial court. If these Chen State envoys are unwilling to surrender, they will not be able to use any strong methods. Even if the other party's excuses are too casual, he can only temporarily suppress them. Get angry.

After Prince Zhan Shi left, the young general behind Lu Teng immediately stood up and bowed: "My subordinate, Chen Zhou, would like to thank Mr. Tang!"

"You're welcome. Every move you make here is related to Chen Guo's reputation. Naturally, I can't hand you over." Tang Ning patted his shoulder and said, "You have time, teach me how to tie the rope from last time... …”

Although Lu Teng's subordinate has an unlucky name, he does have some skills.

"I'm going to see the princess." He said to Lu Teng and walked out of the hall.

Yesterday I promised Zhao Man to go fishing, but unfortunately there were no fish in the lake in Jinxiu Palace. It just so happened that I had nothing to do today, so I could take her out to get some fresh air.

She helped Zhao Man put on her makeup, changed into the palace maid's clothes, and walked out of the palace in a swaggering manner.

At the door, a young general named Chen Zhou raised his head and glanced, his eyes widened immediately, he quickly stood up, bowed and said: "Mr...."

Lu Teng looked over, and Chen Zhou looked at Tang Ning, then at Zhao Man, and said loudly: "Mr...., I send you my best wishes, Mr. Tang..."

After walking out of Jinxiu Palace, Zhao Man patted his chest and said, "I think he recognized me just now."

Tang Ning looked at her. She was in a hurry today and her makeup had not changed much. However, usually no one would look at her face. She was already out and there was no need to go back.

However, this is the Chu Kingdom, and there is no guarantee that there won't be people with ulterior motives around the Jinxiu Palace. Old Zheng left, and just in case, Tangning brought a few elite disciples of the Beggar Gang with him.

Having been deceived by that lady yesterday, she traveled across most of Kyoto. Tangning knew where the river was, so she and Zhao Man brought fishing rods and found a suitable location for fishing.

They are not the only ones fishing here. The best spot is occupied by someone else. He is a middle-aged man wearing a Confucian shirt and holding a fishing rod in his hand. He looks calm and relaxed.

Tang Ning and Zhao Man passed by him and saw a few small fish in a jar beside him.

This showed that there were fish to catch here. Tang Ning made a nest here and dropped the hook, then sat on the rocks with Zhao Man and waited for a fish to bite the hook.

Unfortunately, their luck was not very good today. Since they sat down, the middle-aged man had already caught three fish in a row, but neither he nor Zhao Man caught even one.

After the middle-aged man caught another fish, he looked over and said, "Young man, there are no fish in that place. You'd better come here."

"Thank you."

This middle-aged man seemed to be very familiar with this area of ​​water. He must have been fishing here often. Tang Ning and Zhao Man moved to where he was, and soon she caught the first small fish as big as a palm.

Zhao Man said happily: "I caught it before you did!"

"You're amazing, you're amazing..." Tangning helped her take the fish off the hook and said, "Keep your voice down, don't disturb others fishing."

"It doesn't matter, I'm going back too." The middle-aged man poured all the fish in the jar into the river, put away the fishing rod, slowly wound the line, and said casually: "I have been fishing here for many years, and this is the first time I have encountered Young people like you who have a leisurely life.”

Tang Ning shook her head and asked, "Why can't young people have leisure time?"

The middle-aged man said: "Young people should take it as their duty to read and serve the country, take the books of sages as entertainment, and enjoy poetry and articles. How can they waste their time on these pastimes?"

Tang Ning lifted up the fishing rod, took off a small fish from the hook, and said, "Not all young people like reading. Not everyone loves poetry and articles. Everyone has the right to choose. If you don't even know what to do for fun, If you can’t choose for yourself, there’s nothing good about being an emperor.”

The middle-aged man put away the fishing rod, stood up, and asked: "Young man, do you know how good it is to be an emperor? Above millions of people, is there anything you can't choose for yourself?"

Tang Ning cast down the fishing hook and asked: "When the emperor wants to fish, can he sit here and fish?"

The middle-aged man was stunned at first, then looked at him with strange eyes, nodded and said: "Yes, the emperor can do a lot of things, but he can't sit here and fish like you."

I don't know if it's because the middle-aged man just let go of a lot of fish, Tang Ning just cast down the fishing hook, and the fishing rod shook.

However, this time he didn't pay attention to the fishing rod, but stood up, turned around, and looked at the shore.

A few steps away from them, several figures covered in cloaks appeared.

Several people holding weapons were running towards the river.

The first thing Tang Ning thought of was that someone wanted to assassinate Zhao Man. The waters of Chu were indeed deep. The prince's grandmother didn't love him, and no one stood up when he was beaten. On the second day after the delegation arrived, someone dared to assassinate the princess in the street...

He waved his hand, and the ten Beggars' disciples standing not far away blocked these people.

In an instant, they formed a formation and surrounded those people.

These disciples were the elite of the elite, and they were trained by the old beggar himself. They were very extraordinary when they formed a formation. There were only five people on the other side. Although they were not bad, they were trapped in the formation and could only be beaten.

After a while, the five people were knocked unconscious by the sticks in the hands of those disciples.

Not far away, there were already officials running over.

Zhao Man ran out secretly, and if they were found by them, she would be in trouble. Tang Ning threw down the fishing rod, grabbed her hand, and said, "Go!"

The ten Beggars' disciples also left quickly, and more than a dozen officials ran over and took down the five people lying on the ground who had fainted.

A man ran out of the crowd, ran to the middle-aged man, and asked, "Why did you come out alone again?"

The middle-aged man handed him the fishing rod and said, "With you here, the fish are scared away. What can I catch?"

The man frowned and said, "But this is too dangerous!"

"It's nothing." The middle-aged man clapped his hands, looked at the direction where Tang Ning and Zhao Man disappeared, and said, "Go back. Don't tell the princess and the princess about what happened today."

The man looked in another direction and said, "The princess already knows."

The woman in white walked over from the crowd, looked at the middle-aged man, and said, "Next time you want to fish, don't come out alone. I'll accompany you."

"Okay, okay, whatever Lanlan says is what I want..." The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "You are late this time. I just met a young man who likes fishing like you..."
