Fortunate Young Gentleman

Cangzhou was already close to the south of Chu State. A few days after setting off, the team had already sailed out of Liaozhou, and further on, they reached the territory of Chen State.

"Ah sneeze!"

Tang Ning rubbed her nose. Although they were driving south all the way, the weather was getting colder and colder now that it was autumn. Zhao Man had to be reminded to change into a thicker quilt at night.

Ahead was Shililin. When they came, they encountered an ambush there. Thanks to his wit, he exchanged hostages with the other party, and the crisis was eliminated.

He Rui got off the carriage and looked at the forest ahead with a complicated expression.

Lu Teng rode over and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to sleep in the forest again tonight."

"Then speed up." Tang Ning looked at the forest ahead and said, "Stay one night today and rest in Fengzhou tomorrow night."

Lu Teng nodded, looked behind him, and said, "Keep going!"

As the team approached, a figure suddenly appeared in the forest. The Imperial Guards first put on a defensive posture, but seeing that there were only a few people on the other side, they went over to a team to inquire about the situation.

Not long after, Lu Teng brought a few people over and said, "Master Tang, they are the bandit leaders of Shililin. They are here to lead us this time."

The leader immediately said: "No, no, no, general, we have become good and are no longer thieves."

The man looked at Tang Ning and said expectantly: "Sir, we have now become good and no longer thieves. We will listen to your instructions every day, do more good deeds, punish evil and promote good..."

Tangning almost forgot about this problem, nodded and said, "You guys did a good job."

The man rubbed his hands and said: "In that case, sir, can you give us the antidote? We guarantee that after taking the antidote, we will still be the same as before, only doing good things, not doing bad things, punishing evil and promoting good. , accumulate blessings..."

Tangning waved her hand and said, "Actually, you are not poisoned."

If he is poisoned now, it will take effect a year later. I don't know if there is such a high-tech poison in the world, at least Tang Ning herself doesn't have this ability.

The man was startled, then laughed dryly and said, "Young master is joking..."

Tangning looked at him and asked, "You don't believe me?"

The man trembled and immediately said: "Believe, believe, we will still do more good deeds in the future. One year from now, you must send someone to deliver the antidote..."

He didn't believe the truth, and there was nothing Tangning could do. The bandit leader didn't dare to say anything more and said with a smile, "Young man, go ahead and lead the way..."

With these local snakes leading the way, this trip from Shililin to Fengzhou was much smoother than last time.

When they arrived in Fengzhou, Tang Ning was surprised to find that what the bandit leader said was actually true.

Whether they have reformed their evil ways in their hearts or not, at least they have done so in action. In the past two months, Fengzhou suddenly had a good gang with hundreds of brothers. With the purpose of doing good deeds and spreading love, they built bridges and paved roads. The top priority is to fight local gangsters and punish gangsters, which has won a lot of applause from the people in Fengzhou.

Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, their actions were commendable. Tangning threw a packet of medicinal powder to him and said, "Dissolve in a bowl of water, and everyone can detoxify by taking a sip."

This medicinal powder was actually rouge bought from Chu State. It was made of flower petals. It was all natural and had no additives. He bought a lot of it when he came back this time. In addition to buying it for Zhao Yuan, there were many more.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." The former leader of the Shililin Bandit, now the leader of the Good Guys Gang, knelt on the ground and burst into tears of gratitude.

Tangning waved her hand, indicating that he could leave.

He walked back to the inn, and when he saw Chen Zhou, he warned: "Watch that woman, don't let her run away."

"Don't worry, sir." Chen Zhou patted his chest and said, "I used three ropes, but I have never tied a pig so tightly. The more she struggles, the tighter she becomes. She can't run away."

Tangning patted his shoulder and said, "Not bad."

Although she was a prisoner like Wan Yanyan, the treatment of Lady Gongsun here was not so good.

She was good at martial arts and knew the art of voodoo. Although Tang Ning found all her voodoos and burned them, to avoid accidents, she was tied up along the way and was not qualified to ride in a carriage alone. Instead, she was stuffed There was no separate room for her in the truck or at the inn, so she had to make do in the woodshed.

There is no need to be careless when dealing with such dangerous elements.

On the way back, he was eager to return home and was not willing to delay at all. It was already afternoon when he arrived at Fengzhou, and he planned to set off again tomorrow morning.

If there is no delay on the way, we can go back in early October.

He walked back to the yard. Lao Zheng held the knife in his hand, walked around the yard, and asked, "Have you seen my whetstone?"

"No." Tangning shook her head and said, "Go and ask the cook. There must be some at the inn."

Lao Zheng's knife is not often used, but he always likes to sharpen it. He takes it out to sharpen it every two days. I don't know what his hobby is.

When it comes to using a knife, he just likes to use it to cut pig ears and drink wine at night. Tang Ning had to admit that the pig ears cut by Lao Zheng were of moderate thickness and tasted better than those cut by ordinary butchers.

Butcher Zheng walked to the kitchen and asked the cook who was busy in front of the stove: "Is there a whetstone?"

The cook was busy cooking and said without looking back: "Yes, it's in the woodshed next door. You can go find it yourself."

Butcher Zheng pushed open the wooden door of the woodshed and started looking around.

A middle-aged woman was tied to a pillar in the middle of the woodshed, and Butcher Zheng's eyes swept across her body.

The middle-aged woman looked at him, and at a certain moment, she suddenly asked, "What are you looking for?"

Butcher Zheng looked around and asked, "Have you seen a whetstone?"

The middle-aged woman lowered her head, raised her foot and stepped down again, saying, "It's under my feet, come and get it."

Butcher Zheng looked over and found a dark stone under her feet.

He walked to the middle-aged woman and bent down.

The middle-aged woman's eyes narrowed slightly and her eyebrows raised.

At the same time, a strand of hair on her head suddenly fell, twisted a few times in the air, and went straight to Butcher Zheng's face like a living thing.

On closer inspection, it was found that the thing was much thicker than the hair, and it was about to get into Butcher Zheng's nose in an instant.

The middle-aged woman had a sneer on her face. It was her most precious silver snake king Gu, which was usually hidden in her hair, and it was also her last trick to save her life.

The silver snake king was extremely fast. Even a top expert couldn't dodge it at such a close distance, let alone an ordinary butcher?

Butcher Zheng raised his head and pinched the creature's head with his hand. The body was still twisting.

He rubbed it with his thumb and index finger, and the creature stopped struggling and remained motionless.

He clapped his hands, as if to brush off dust, looked up at the middle-aged woman, and said: "The silver snake king is hiding deep enough..."

The middle-aged woman's eyes narrowed and she trembled: "How do you know..."

The person in front of her not only knew the silver snake king, but also killed her most powerful poisonous insect like killing an ant. While destroying the middle-aged woman's last hope, she was also extremely surprised.

Butcher Zheng shook his head and said, "There are not many people left in the Wan Gu Sect. Why are they running to the grassland to join in the fun instead of passing on the sect?"

When the middle-aged woman heard the three words "Wan Gu Sect", her face changed for the first time and she said sternly, "Who are you!"

"I'm just a butcher. I don't mean anything else. You just stepped on my grindstone." Butcher Zheng squatted on the ground and said, "Be good, lift your feet..."
