Back to Datang with weapons

Chapter 440 Bizarre life experience (please subscribe!)
Kang Wang was very angry at Zhao's house and was in a bad mood, which naturally showed on his face.

Back at King Kang's Mansion, the servants saw King Kang's gloomy face, and avoided it wisely. Only the maid had to bite the bullet and bring the tea into the front hall, and then quickly retreated. Judging from my experience, it won't be long before Kang Wang will have to throw a cup, so it's better for them to stay as far away as possible.

Sitting on the chair and drinking two sips of tea, Kang Wang calmed down a bit, frowning and thinking about what happened just now.

Looking at Zhao Baiyu's appearance, this time I am afraid that he will be persistent to the end. It seems impossible to change his mind, and the prince will not reply to the news. Even anger can be ignored!

Could it be that the Prince was not happy because the matter of the refugee wave didn't go according to the Prince's plan, so he didn't even bother to reply to his letter?
Or now that King Xiang is gone, the crown prince's road to the throne has been smooth, and there is no need for such things to increase his bargaining chips, so he is too lazy to care about it?

If this is the case, Kang Wang will be relieved, after all, this wave of homeless people will make a scene, and it has nothing to do with him anyway.

But if it's the first case, it's a little tricky...

Kang Wang stood up with his teacup in hand, paced back and forth in the room, and suddenly thought of his youngest son Tang Qingyan who was studying in Jingzhou.

To be honest, although he was let go to study in Jingzhou, it was mainly because he didn't like this youngest son. The eldest son, Tang Qingyu, was born to his wife, while Tang Qingyan was born to a concubine, and this concubine later became a servant of the family. For adultery, he was drunk and bumped into him. At that time, he was very angry and arrested the couple and soaked them in the pig cage.

Logically speaking, the child born to this concubine should not be allowed to live, but because Tang Qingyan was a boy, his heart softened at the beginning, so he didn't kill him.

He stayed, but he didn't like the younger son very much, and his attitude towards the older son was completely opposite to his.

Ever since he left home to study in Jingzhou, if he hadn't gone to Jingzhou some time ago, he would have almost forgotten that he has such a son...

Tang Qingyan went to Jingzhou originally to prevent him from dangling in front of his eyes and to seek leisure, but unexpectedly, it became an unintentional act. This kid is actually doing well with the prince. This is really an unexpected harvest!
As long as he maintains his relationship with the crown prince, if he asks a little bit more when the crown prince ascends the throne, it won't be a problem to transfer him back to Jingzhou!

It is said that fallen leaves return to their roots, and the older a person is, the more homesick he becomes.

Even though he has been in Jinling for more than [-] years, King Kang still has no sense of belonging. He always feels that Jingzhou is his home, but as long as Emperor Tang is in power, it is impossible for him to go back, so all his efforts now are to befriend the prince. , in the hope that the crown prince will succeed, and transfer him back...

So the prince didn't reply to Kang Wang's letter, which made him feel like the sky was going to collapse.

No, I have to write to his youngest son and ask him to find out what the prince is saying, otherwise, wouldn't my previous efforts be in vain?
…………

A few servant girls outside the front hall door waited for a long time with their ears pricked up, but they did not hear the sound of throwing cups. A servant girl had already prepared cleaning tools and was ready to go. Who knew that after waiting for a long time, Kang Wang just didn’t This is the first time to throw a cup!

Everyone looked at each other, a little surprised...

Hearing that King Kang was back, Tang Qingyu rushed over from the backyard.

Seeing a few servants around the door, he said, "What are you all doing here? Where is your father?"

"His Royal Highness, King Kang is in the room..."

After hearing this, Tang Qingyu pushed the door open and walked in. When she entered the room, she saw Kang Wang with a sad face. Tang Qingyu's heart twitched for no reason: Could it be that something went wrong?
"Father, then Zhao Baiyu won't agree?"

This time Kang Wang went to Zhao's house to persuade Zhao Baiyu, stop the flow of refugees, and let Wang Chengen not be too difficult. After all, if he wants to marry Wang Yunshi, this is a necessary condition!
"Snapped!"

Kang Wang originally only thought about how to contact the prince, and put aside the matter of Zhao Baiyu making him angry. Now that Tang Qingyu brought it up again, he immediately thought of Zhao Baiyu's arrogant face just now, and couldn't bear it any longer. It fell to the ground and fell to pieces...

When the servant girl outside the door heard the familiar voice, she had an expression of "I knew it would be like this" on her face.

It seems that Kang Wang may be late for throwing the cup, but he will never be absent.

"This old immortal thing!"

As soon as Kang Wang threw the cup, Tang Qingyu knew the result of this time, how could he not be angry?
After returning from Jingzhou, after being rejected by Mo Li, he was extremely sad, but after seeing Wang Yunshi at Wang Chengen's mansion, this sadness disappeared.

Now that Zhao Baiyu does not agree to stop the flow of refugees, that is obviously against his future father-in-law, Wang Chengen!If Wang Chengen was removed from the prefect because of this matter, how could he marry Wang Yunshi?

Isn't that breaking his marriage?

How can you not be angry?

"Father, if he disagrees, then Wang Chengen may not be able to be the magistrate for a few days. If I let him know now--then I won't be able to marry Wang Yunshi?"

Tang Qingyu doesn't care whether Wang Chengen is the magistrate or not, what he cares about is whether he can marry Wang Yunshi or not!

Kang Wang frowned and paced back and forth on the ground, then suddenly stopped and said, "Marry, why can't I marry?"

"However, if Wang Chengen is dismissed from office, then..."

As the eldest son, Tang Qingyu naturally knew the importance of being in the right family. Back then, King Kang chose Wang Yunshi for him because of her family background. Although it was not very good, on the ground of Jinling, it was already possible to find the best family, but If Wang Chengen lost the magistrate, he wouldn't be in the right family, how could he marry?
"Do you want to marry Wang Yunshi?"

"miss you!"

Hearing what King Kang said, Tang Qingyu said without hesitation, it doesn't matter what kind of family he is in marrying Wang Yunshi, as long as he is beautiful!Tang Qingyu was inexplicably excited at the thought of such a beautiful woman being so happy under him!
"Since my son wants to marry, let's marry! And as soon as possible, marry Wang Yunshi into the family first. As for what will happen after that, whether Wang Chengen can still be the magistrate, it has nothing to do with us-if he is really captured. If she is dismissed, then Wang Yunshi can only be a concubine, and as for the main wife, father will just find a family for you!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Hearing Kang Wang's idea, Tang Qingyu was very excited. The main room and the concubine didn't matter to him, anyway, all he thought about was those things...

…………

Flying down from the boat, Zhang Twelve and Mo Li didn't dare to be careless, one held Princess Yilan, the other grabbed Lu San, and moved quickly among the woods.

The trees in this forest are dense, and there are too many vines of various kinds, the space is not large, and there is only one relatively good "road".

It is said to be a road, but in fact it cannot be called a road, but because the surroundings are really impassable, so the only path in the middle that is not so bad becomes a road.

Flying is impossible. Apart from the fact that it is easy to hit a tree when flying, it is also exhausted from being tortured by the storm for a long time during the day. How could it be possible to fly with Zhang Twelve under load!

So he could only half jump and half run forward. After walking like this for a while, Zhang Twelve looked back, but there was no sign of anyone chasing him, so he and Mo Li slowed down.

The five people walked forward for a while, and there was a mountain in front of them. There were a lot of rocks on the mountain, but there was a small road, as if it had been walked by people many times, so it looked like a road.

Zhang Twelve was overjoyed, it seemed that there were indeed people around here.

In this way, you can avoid the embarrassment of walking for a day and not being able to get out of the woods in the end.

Because he was standing at the bottom and covered by trees, no one knew how high the mountain was, but seeing that there were too many boulders in front of him, and the path up the mountain was slow, Zhang Twelve felt that the mountain should not be too high.

Then he said, "Why don't we go up? The woods are too humid, we should find a dry place to rest. And the mountain is high, if those people really come after us, we can find it in advance!"

Mo Li nodded when she heard this, because she also felt that her body was too weak now, and she urgently needed to find a place to rest. The woods were already damp, so it was okay if it didn't rain, but if it rained again, the consequences would be disastrous!

Seeing that Mo Li agreed, Zhang Twelve took the lead and started walking up the mountain.

Although the mountain road is not steep, everyone has exhausted their physical strength, so they are out of breath after climbing for a while.

At this time, Zhang Twelve and the others were already higher than the height of the woods. Looking down, they were surrounded by woods, and they couldn't see the end at a glance——If this is the case, it means that there must be no one here. How about living in such a dense forest?

But the road they walked was obviously stepped on by humans, so this shows that this person lives behind the mountain—that is, a place they can't see now!

Looking up, I found that the mountain is not high, not even comparable to Mount Yu, at most it is about the same height as the barren mountain in Liangzhou, and it is not difficult to climb over it.

"Master, look!"

Suddenly, Du Lang stretched out his finger and shouted in the direction of their side.

Zhang Twelve looked in the direction of Du Lang's finger, and it turned out that there was a cave on the slightly flat ridge beside them!Because the distance was still a bit far away, I couldn't see clearly what was going on in the cave, but this was enough to make Zhang Twelve excited!

Because it has just rained, the ground is still a little wet, and the wind is strong on the mountain, so staying outside and being blown by the wind will only get colder and colder, and a cave is undoubtedly the most ideal shelter at present, not only for shelter from the wind The most important thing to shelter from the rain is to be dry and warm, which is not easy for the few people who are already exhausted!
"Come on, let's go and see!"

After speaking, Zhang Twelve took the lead and walked towards the cave...

…………

When he came outside the cave, Zhang Twelve was even more sure that there must be someone behind this mountain!

Why do you say that?
Because the cave is not only small in size, but there are ashes from the burning firewood inside, and there are many dry branches and wood beside it that have not had time to burn. The most perfect thing is that the innermost part of the cave is covered with a lot of dry grass and dry leaves. Not only is it isolated from the ground, but it must also keep warm.

Just imagine, how can a few people who are exhausted in the humid environment not be excited to see this kind of natural bed?
Looking at this appearance, it completely confirmed Zhang Twelve's thoughts. There are people behind the mountain, and maybe someone will go hunting on the mountain. This cave is where they rest every time!

But don't worry about that for now, since there is such a good place, it's better to rest first, after all, everyone has reached the critical point of fatigue.

First let Mo Li and Princess Yilan go to rest on the innermost bed of dead leaves, Zhang Twelve asked Du Lang to take out the fire pocket, and started the fire with dry branches in the cave.

In fact, at this time, the fire in the cave can easily be seen by people outside the cave, but because it is too cold now, if there is no fire, it will be really uncomfortable. Law!

I don't know what time it is now, the sky is gray and there is no sign of the sun coming out, Zhang Twelve asked Lu San and Du Lang to go to bed first, and he wanted to keep watch at the entrance of the cave to prevent those killers from lurking up.

But Zhang Twelve didn't sleep, how could Du Lang and Lu San dare to sleep?

The two disagreed desperately, saying that the two of them would take turns guarding for half an hour first, and then call him after their turn was over. Zhang Twelve was also exhausted, so he found a clean piece by the fire without saying anything. place, lying directly on the ground, and fell asleep...

…………

Tired and lack of sleep, Zhang Twelve fell asleep this time, and had a dream, in which the four killers sneaked up taking advantage of the gloomy sky, and Du Lang and Lu San also fell asleep. The four killers raised their bright knives and slashed at them——

At this time, he woke up with a start, sweating all over his body.

Looking at the person guarding the entrance of the cave, Du Lang has been replaced by Lu San. From Lu San's appearance, it is obvious that he is too sleepy.

Zhang Twelve slept well this time, at least he felt much more relaxed after waking up. No need to ask, he also knew that Lu San and Du Lang probably didn't want him to do sentry work, so they didn't call him.

He stepped forward and patted Lu San on the shoulder. Lu San turned around and saw Zhang Twelve. He was a little surprised and said, "Master, why are you up?"

"I'll replace you, you go to sleep!"

"Master, I'm not tired! I just replaced Du Lang!"

That's what he said, but the bloodshot eyes in Lu San's eyes couldn't fool Zhang Twelve, so he said, "I've already slept well, and I can't sleep any more, so just let me watch for a while. wake you up!"

Hearing what Zhang Twelve said, Lu Sancai no longer persisted, came to the place where Zhang Twelve was sleeping just now, lay down and fell asleep, and made a faint snoring sound after a while, which showed how sleepy he was!
Zhang Twelve shook his head and smiled, leaning against the entrance of the cave and looking outside.
