People all have the mentality of relying on strength to avoid weakness.
As long as they see someone who is obviously weaker than themselves, most people will look down on them in their hearts, and they will naturally feel that others are easy to bully. But many times, people cannot be judged by their appearance. Perhaps, in many aspects of Mingdi, some people seem to be much worse than us normal people. But I cannot conclude that he does not have advantages and strengths that are also beyond our reach.
Tang Zhong is a fool in the eyes of the world, so everyone looks down upon him and thinks he is easy to bully.
However, this fool in Tang Zhong is not an ordinary fool. He is so famous that the title of Tang Sect's Foolish Young Master is frightening to people in the world. There is indeed something extraordinary about him.
Tang Zhong's mind was simple, but he was not brainless, and his thinking was so weird that others couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
Tang Zhong and Gui Xue seemed to be a pair of good brothers born in heaven, and they both still had childlike innocence and had a lot of fun along the way.
"Second Grandpa, where are we going?" Tang Zhong was playing all the way when he suddenly said this.
"Of course we are going to the capital!" Tang Muxiang replied calmly.
"Aren't we going to chase Grandpa?" Tang Zhong asked.
"They should have gone far away and we can't catch up." Tang Muxiang said perfunctorily.
"No! Grandpa will definitely wait for us on the road when he sees that we are not here. If we don't go back, grandpa will definitely be worried." Tang Zhong said it like a homesick child, but he blurted it out very casually.
Tang Mu met Tang Zhong and said it very casually, and it made some sense, but it was not good for them. He changed his mind and thought that he should fool Tang Zhong well so as not to let his husband get suspicious, so he casually replied: "Okay then! Let's go after your uncle."
Tang Muxiang just said it casually and did not change the route at all, and he had no intention of changing the route.
Tang Zhong heard that Second Grandpa agreed, so he said: "That's good! We have to speed up our pace, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with them."
Tang Mu saw that there were many things going on in Tang Dynasty, so he really quickened his pace, but still did not change his route. Tang Zhong and Guixue were still following behind, but they didn't say much for the time being.
After a while, they came to a fork in the road, one heading east and the other heading north. Tang Muxiang said nothing and led everyone eastward.
"Second Grandpa, you are going the wrong way." Tang Zhong said when he saw Tang Muxiang and others heading east, but he only stood at the fork in the road.
"It's not wrong, your uncle and the others went this way." Tang Muxiang only said that Tang Zhong didn't know the way, so he continued to talk nonsense.
"No, Grandpa and the others are going this way, I'm sure." Tang Zhong's tone was firmer than Tang Muxiang's.
"No, no! Your uncle had discussed with us before, and they were going this way." Tang Muxiang ignored what Tang Zhong said at all, and only insisted that Tang Mugong and others were heading east.
"But they are really taking this path!" Tang Zhong still insisted on his opinion.
"Zhong'er, you're not with Grandpa, how do you know which way they are going?" Tang Muhe asked casually when he saw that Tang Zhong was very sure.
"Because I can smell the smell they left behind, and they are indeed heading this way. And the smell of toothy teeth is the strongest on this road, so I am sure that the uncle must have walked this way. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. ." Tang Muhe originally just asked casually, but Tang Zhong actually gave an answer that was completely unexpected by them.
Although Tang Zhong is not very smart and has always been like a child, his extraordinary abilities are also completely incredible and make people feel inferior.
Not only can he see without seeing, but he can also understand the language of birds, animals and insects without any teacher. These abilities were originally beyond the reach of ordinary people, but he happened to have them all in one body. But now, Tang Zhong has shown another thing, that is, the ability to recognize and track taste. Generally, only a dog's nose can distinguish the smell left by others on the road, so only hounds are the best at identifying and tracking smells. Even the real Tang Muxiang himself had never discovered that Tang Zhong actually had such a skill before. Now that Tang Zhong suddenly showed it, it really opened the eyes of Tang Muxiang and others, and they even didn't believe that what he said was true.
However, since Tang Zhong was so insistent, they didn't want to go too far, so they changed their route and headed north as Tang Zhong said.
Although Tang Muxiang and the others didn't show it on their faces, they were all thinking secretly in their hearts: If this silly boy didn't lead him the wrong way, and they really caught up with the people from the Tang Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect, wouldn't the three of them be exposed by then? What?
Thinking of this, the three of them procrastinated along the way, no longer trying their best to move forward, and even fell far behind, leaving the two little kids to go ahead.
"Grandpas, please go faster, otherwise we will really be unable to catch up with you!" Tang Zhong still looked innocent, as if he didn't know anything.
Tang Muxiang and the three of them were all secretly laughing at Tang Zhong: Fortunately, this kid has some mental problems. If it were others, he would have noticed that something was wrong with the three of us. We have to find a way as soon as possible to deal with this kid first, and then we can get down to business.
The three of them kept thinking in their minds, so they walked even slower. They just complained repeatedly: "Oh! Zhong'er, take a rest! Grandpas really can't walk anymore."
"Oops! You guys are walking so slowly. It's almost dark. It seems we won't be able to enter the city today." Tang Zhong said a little disappointed.
They all thought Tang Zhong was stupid, but Tang Zhong was not as stupid as they thought. He was completely stupid and useless. At least, his current countermeasures are still correct.
First of all, although he didn’t know what happened to the three grandfathers! But he knew that there must be something weird in the three of them, and the eldest grandpa and Ren Xiaoyao would definitely be able to eliminate this eccentricity in them. Therefore, as long as the three grandfathers were successfully brought to the eldest grandpa and Ren Xiaoyao, it would be a great achievement. Secondly, he also knew that the three grandfathers were extremely skilled in martial arts. If he tried hard, he would not be a match for the three of them, and he might even injure one another. Therefore, he couldn't do it forcefully and had to find other ways. Since he couldn't force himself, he simply pretended to be stupid until the end, as if he didn't know anything, and deceived the three grandpas into coming to the eldest grandpa first.
Tang Muxiang and the other three were planning to deal with Tang Zhong, but Tang Zhong actually had his own little plans, so neither group was really on their way. After walking like this for most of a day, we were still a long way from the capital. However, the sky had already turned dark, and frost started to fall immediately. The cold wind penetrated our clothes. It seemed that we could no longer continue our journey.
"No, it's too cold at night. We can't leave anymore. We have to find a place to light a fire to keep warm." Tang Muxiang suggested.
Others were indeed too cold, so they had to find a place to avoid the frost at night.
Zhuozhou is not far from the capital. If they find a mount, a kind of horse racing towards the capital, they will never be able to spend the night on the road. However, Tang Muxiang and others deliberately delayed and did not sincerely look for mounts. As a result, they had to spend the night on the road.
Tang Muxiang and others searched for a while on both sides of the avenue, but found neither an inn nor a house. At night, they couldn't figure out what the boundary was. In desperation, he had to temporarily hide in a broken earth temple in a cemetery. Although this earth temple is small, the eaves are intact and can block the cold wind and frost outside. Tang Muxiang and the others went to find some more firewood to light the fire, and the earth temple immediately became warm. Then they got some dry food and liquor, which was barely enough for one night.
The weather is dark in October and the nights are cold.
Tang Zhong and his party hid in a small temple, relying on the fire to keep warm, but they gradually fell asleep.
Tang Muhe, Tang Muxian, Tang Zhong and Guixue all slept soundly, but Tang Muxiang could not fall asleep.
He was actually planning an evil plan at this time, intending to suddenly attack Tang Zhong in the middle of the night. Because the Earth Temple was too small, he had no chance to discuss it with his other two junior brothers, so he had to act alone. Fortunately, there was only one outsider in Tang Zhong among their group. As long as he was eliminated, they could do whatever their master told them.
They only have seven days, and one day has passed today. If they keep letting Tang Zhong follow them, they will most likely not be able to do anything, and they will be in danger of being exposed at any time.
Therefore, it is necessary to kill Tang Zhong as soon as possible, and also when he has no defense. Now is the best time.
Tang Muxiang took his time alone, but heard that everyone else was sleeping soundly. But he still couldn't do it so quickly, and he felt that he should wait at least until the middle of the night. Tang Zhong must have been sleeping soundly at that time. He suddenly launched an attack on him. No matter how high his martial arts skills were, he couldn't react at all.
Time often passes the fastest when people are most confused, but it passes slowly when people are most sober.
Tang Muxiang never fell asleep, but he felt that time passed very slowly and he couldn't wait any longer. He secretly glanced at Tang Zhong, but saw that he was indeed sleeping soundly, and gradually felt relieved, thinking that he must have no defense, and that tonight's matter would most likely be successful.
Thinking of this, he gradually felt relieved and felt that he should take a nap first to recuperate before talking. But he was afraid of falling asleep, so he still turned a blind eye and remained vigilant at all times.
He originally wanted to go out for a walk, but firstly it was too cold outside, and secondly, outside the Earth Temple, there were all graveyards, and most of them were new graves.
"It's strange! Such a large cemetery doesn't look like a new cemetery, so why are there so many new graves? There is no war now, and there are no big fights between Jianghu sects. Where did so many dead people come from? "Tang Muxiang thought of those new graves, but he also felt a little strange.
However, he didn't think too much about it because he was preoccupied with thoughts of assassinating Tang Zhong at night.
