Three days ago, Tang Mingjing sat quietly in the building to review the newspapers submitted by the major shopkeepers. He sat there for a long time, but there was no movement. It was not until a certain shopkeeper noticed something was wrong that he hurried upstairs. When he saw someone, the master There is no breath anymore.
This matter was supposed to be kept secret, but there were too many eyes staring at the Tang Mansion, so much so that if these shopkeepers looked the wrong way, they would attract people.
But in the blink of an eye, the surrounding area of Tang Mansion was full of prying eyes, as well as the outside of the head office in Shangjing City.
The homing pigeon cannot fly out, and neither can the people in the house.
In such a critical time, seventeen ministers of the Tang Dynasty took action together and fought a bloody road. Two shopkeepers with martial arts brought the news out, one went to the North and South Towers, and the other went to the border gate.
There were countless attacks and ambushes encountered along the way. When Shopkeeper Xuan left the capital, there were nearly fifty people. When they arrived at the North and South Towers, Shopkeeper Yu Xuan was the only one who delivered the letter with a sigh of relief. No one survived.
When Tang Zheng saw the letter, he was extremely panicked.
"I have to go back! I have to go back..."
Tang Zheng was anxious and uneasy, but he was also confused.
He didn't know what he could do if he went back.
He is not that piece of material, let alone the person who can reverse the situation. He knows this better than anyone else.
The second son of the Tang family, Tang Zheng does not have the extraordinary intelligence and business acumen like his father Tang Mingjing, and he does not know much about the insidious and cunning secret situation.
A more suitable candidate than him should be Tang Shijing!
Suddenly, Tang Zheng felt a desire to escape.
When he looked up, he saw a figure standing in front of him and patted his shoulder.
"Don't you want to go back?"
Ping An said this.
Tang Zheng was stunned on the spot, opened his mouth, and said: "The host..."
He seemed to want to say something, but when the words reached his lips, he could not say them.
Ping An smiled warmly and said, "I won't scold you. I know that you are born like this. You understand many principles and are not bound by the world."
Tang Zheng lowered his head. The wind and snow outside were blowing hard and whistling, and the cold wind hit his face, as if it was going to scratch it.
Ping An continued: "But the more people understand, the more painful it will be. You are as hesitant as you are now. You don't know how to plan, but you see very accurately and know what you can do and what you can do." You can’t go. From your point of view, you probably feel that even if you go back, you won’t be able to change anything, and it may even make the situation worse. Am I right?”
Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded after a brief silence.
He said: "I have no talent, but if it's my younger brother, maybe I can change this situation."
Ping An smiled and said: "So you are in trouble. You are afraid that Tang Shijing did not receive the letter like you did. In this case, if you don't go back, no one will go back. If this is the case, the entire Tang family will be in disaster." , but if the two of you go back together, there will only be more trouble. Second son of the Tang family, the shopkeepers in your family are in charge of their own affairs, so there will be another civil strife. So in such a situation, if you don't go back, in fact, It’s the best choice.”
Tang Zheng's thoughts were completely guessed by Ping An.
He doesn't understand strategy, but he can see things clearly.
But even though he could see clearly, after all, he was not like a saint. This was the overall situation, and he could let it go by closing his eyes. He didn't want the whole Tang family to suffer disaster.
"I have to go back..."
"Think it through."
"Um……"
Tang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and said, "I can't gamble. Even if the road ahead is bumpy, or there is a possibility that my head will be missing, I will definitely go."
Ping An nodded without saying much.
Ping An said: "I will choose the best horse for you! In addition, you can also ask who is willing to go with you."
"Sir..." Tang Zheng paused and said, "Nanbeilou never participates in these things."
He didn't want to put the landlord in trouble when the time came.
"Are there not many people leaving the North and South Buildings?"
Ping An patted him on the shoulder and said, "When the matter is resolved, remember to send me a letter back."
Ping An went to pick up the horses.
That afternoon, Tang Zheng took more than a dozen warriors from the North and South Towers out of the building.
That day, the horse was riding fast on the snow, causing snowflakes to fly.
This unscrupulous young man set out on his way home. Although he could see clearly, he still made an irrational choice.
He thought that people always do some 'stupid' things in this world.
…
Far away at the border.
Tang Shijing did not receive the letter from the capital. The person who sent the letter was intercepted and killed on the way, and the letter was missing.
"master……"
Tang Shijing was drinking tea and chatting with a wealthy businessman, talking about business.
The sudden intruder made him frown.
"What's all the fuss about? Didn't you see that I was talking to Mr. Hu?"
Mr. Hu smiled when he saw this and said: "No problem, no problem, don't worry about me. Mr. Tang will deal with it first if there is anything."
The person who informed him quickly stepped forward and whispered a few words in Tang Shijing's ear.
Tang Shijing was suddenly startled, and then he became angry.
"Bang!"
The person who reported the news was kicked away.
"You fart!!"
The man rolled around on the ground, staggered up, knelt down and said: "Master, the news is correct..."
Tang Shijing seemed to have lost his mind and shouted: "What did you say before you said it?! How could he die! How could it be possible!"
Shopkeeper Hu, who was sitting next to him, realized something was wrong and he shouldn't stay too long. He stood up and left in a hurry after saying a few words.
Only the servant who reported the news and Tang Shijing were left in the yard.
Tang Shijing took a deep breath.
It took him a while to come back to his senses. Suddenly, his vision went dark and he staggered a few steps, as if he was about to fall down.
"Master! Master!"
The servant exclaimed and shouted: "Someone, come quickly!!"
Tang Mingjing's health was not good.
Tang Shijing had expected such a day a long time ago.
He was afraid that something like this would suddenly happen, so a few years ago, he secretly arranged for people to keep an eye on Shangjing City.
Now that the news came, he still couldn't suppress the panic in his heart.
Dad has gone...
Now in Shangjing, everything is probably in a mess.
Tang Shijing came to his senses in a daze, and was lifted to a chair by several servants and sat down.
"Ready your horse!"
Tang Shijing called out and said, "Go to the military camp!"
Tang Shijing was well aware of his situation. After calming down, he still did not act in a hurry. Instead, he first went to the military masters to find that person. If he did not agree with that person, the situation would be affected after he left.
Under the tent of King Yu's army, King Yu was looking at the sand table in front of him, thinking about how to lay down a trap to attract the people from the Northern Desert.
But suddenly a close confidant came and said a few words in his ear.
King Yu was stunned for a moment and looked at the person beside him.
The man looked solemn, nodded and said: "It's absolutely true!"
King Yu paused, sighed, and murmured: "Trouble..."
"Where are the people from Tang Shijing?"
"Coming towards the military camp."
