"How is Young Master?" Taishi Ci, who had been waiting outside Zhangmen Mountain, asked when he saw Wang Ting coming out slowly.
"Ha, why isn't Youziyi's plan perfect?”Wang Ting threw a big hat at Taishi Ci.
"Young Master praises me too much. This is all thanks to Young Master's plan! How can it be attributed to Ziyi?"
"Ha, we brothers don't need to be polite. We can only walk back. I wonder if Ziyi can persist until Xiangyang?”
"If Young Master can do it, then Ziyi naturally can!"
"Ha…" The two of them laughed and walked towards Xiangyang hand in hand.
"Men, stop! He actually left so calmly!" Just as the two of them were chatting happily, they were stopped by five people riding horses.
"May I ask why you stopped us from walking?”Taishi Ci asked angrily after the two of them turned around.
"Why? We haven't even found out who the culprit of the fire at Fragrant Spring Brothel in Zhangmen Mountain is, so how can you leave without permission? Come back with us. After we find out the truth, we'll naturally let you go!”The leader of the riders shouted at Wang Ting and the others.
He saw that the other party was not a simple person. He actually reacted so quickly. No matter what, he had to leave. He didn't know what would happen if he stayed.
"Ha, you can go back if you want to. We have important matters to attend to. How can we delay our journey because of your fire? You all quickly make way, or don't blame me for being rude to you!
Besides, if it was really done by the two of us, we would have left this place quickly or hidden in the mountains first. How could we walk like this?”Taishi Ci said bluntly.
"There must be a huge connection between you guys for you to quibble like this. Let's take you guys for interrogation! Go!" The leader waved his hand and ordered. Then, the few of them dismounted and pounced on the two.
The two sides fought at the same time.
Taishi Ci looked more muscular than Wang Ting, so he was surrounded by three people. He dodged the sword of the person who was the fastest to arrive. He grabbed the wrist holding the sword and used force to pull it. At the same time, he kicked out with his leg, sending the person flying far away like a kite.
Taishi Ci only used two moves to deal with the three of them. The other two were dealt with in one move. He went to help Wang Ting, but when he turned around, Wang Ting was standing there looking at him!
"Why aren't they fighting? If you look carefully, the other two people not far from Wang Ting are standing motionless with their swords raised, as silent as statues!”
"So fast, how did Young Master do it? There wasn't even the sound of fighting, and the key was that he fell after hitting someone.”Taishi Ci asked.
"Ha, this is my hidden weapon. I'm going to see if there are any survivors. I'm going to ask about the background of this restaurant.”Wang Ting said to Taishi Ci.
In the end, the first person who was beaten down by Taishi Ci did not die. After being called a few times, he barely opened his eyes.
"Where are you from? Tell me quickly and I'll give you a quick death!”Taishi Ci asked.
"Er... Er... We are the subordinates of the Great Virtuous Master of the Path of Peace. If you offend us, you will die! After saying that, he tilted his head and stopped breathing.
"The Road of Peace and the Yellow Turban Army. It seems that this restaurant is a place for them to accumulate wealth for themselves!”Wang Ting thought to himself.
"Young Master, I will throw these people up the mountain. You stay here and watch over these horses.”Taishi Ci's subordinates carried the two of them up the mountain.
Wang Ting had never ridden a horse before. In his previous life, riding a horse was considered a top-notch sport, and he had never played it. He had been wandering in the mountains since he came here, and he had no chance to ride a horse. Not long after, his buttocks were in pain from the horse's back, and his body was shaking as if it was falling apart.
"Young Master, so you've never ridden a horse before. Let me teach you!”Taishi Ci could immediately tell that this young master was a virgin.
Fortunately, Wang Ting's comprehension was quite good. After listening to Taishi Ci's teachings, he gradually relaxed, although he wasn't as unrestrained as Taishi Ci.
"It seems that I have to find some time to make saddles and stirrups. Without these, I really admire these ancestors for riding on naked horses." Wang Ting thought as he rode his horse.
Riding back to Xiangyang was much faster than walking. The two of them used two hours to travel dozens of miles.
Wang Ting, who seemed to have been disbanded, was led to the living room by the soldiers. He had only learned about the courtyard he had bought in Xiangyang yesterday, but he still had not figured out what it was. Fortunately, Xu Shu had someone waiting for Wang Ting at the door.
"Yuanzhi, let me introduce you. This is Donglai Taishi Ci, also known as Ziyi. He is a rare civil and military general. You must get along well in the future! Ziyi, this is Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi, whom I mentioned to you before. He has a deep understanding of the art of war and his martial arts are not bad.”As soon as they sat down, Wang Ting introduced Taishi Ci to everyone.
"Ziyi, tell Yuanzhi about our encounter at Zhangmen Mountain. We can discuss it together, just in case. My horse is about to fall apart. I really don't want to talk anymore!”Wang Ting handed the task of introducing the situation to Taishi Ci.
Taishi Ci then recounted everything that had happened on Zhangmen Mountain and how he had set fire to divert attention.
Xu Shu lowered his head and thought for a while." Young Master, this matter cannot be underestimated. Not only does it involve the Governor's Office's Tang Gongcao, but it also involves the people of the Road of Peace, especially the Road of Peace. I don't know how many people in the city are their eyes and ears. It's better to be prepared in case of an accident!”
"They're just a bunch of useless people. What's so powerful about them? Watch as I, Dian Wei, slaughter the intruders and feed them to the dogs! Don't worry, Young Master and Yuan Zhi!" Dian Wei said angrily.
"Even so, it's hard to fight against an enemy with fewer people. It's better to prepare.”Xu Shu insisted.
"En, Yuan Zhi is right. Although we have you and Ziyi, the two fierce generals, most of our people were brought back to Dragon City by Xing Ba. It would be best if nothing happened. How about this, I brought some medicine with me, people will be confused when they smell it. Give some to Yuan Zhi, if there is really an enemy, just scatter it, but remember not to let your own people smell it!”After saying that, Wang Ting took out the formula for the Dragon Passion Powder given by the divine doctor Hua Tuo. He already had this in his hands that could be used on a large scale. Although it made people feel a little estrus and sinister, once they were hit, no one could get up without resting for ten days to half a month. Wang Ting was naturally too embarrassed to mention aphrodisiac drugs. Otherwise, he would definitely be despised.
"Young Master, tomorrow is the day to welcome the scholars of Xiangyang City. Now that everything is ready, do you have any other orders?”Xu Shu remembered that he had an important matter to attend to the next day and quickly told Wang Ting about it.
"Yuanzhi, go ahead and make the arrangements. Zichang will also listen to your instructions. I wonder if you can arrange gifts for everyone after you come?”Wang Ting asked. These people were people he wanted to recruit. He had to put in some effort.
"Now that Young Master has said that, Yuanzhi has been negligent. I originally thought that I had already sent him off and there was no need to send him off again. I wonder if Young Master has any arrangements?" Gifts for scholars were so easy to choose. Xu Shu thought about it and immediately had no good idea.
Wang Ting looked at the weather from the door. It was spring, and the weather was gradually getting hotter. Spring was a time when the temperature difference between morning and evening was relatively large. One had to wear thick clothes in the morning and thin clothes in the afternoon. After drinking tea for a while, Wang Ting also felt a little hot. He used his hand to fan his face.
After hearing Xu Shu's words, Wang Ting's heart suddenly lit up. What did scholars like the most? The four treasures of the study and some exquisite items. Wouldn't giving them some folding fans to write poems on be the best gift? Moreover, it was not difficult to make these things. He estimated that he could make dozens of them in an afternoon to deal with tomorrow's situation.
"Yuanzhi, I suddenly have something, but I need you to arrange for it to be made quickly. It will definitely satisfy the guest.”After saying that, Wang Ting sent someone to take out a pen washi and told Xu Shu the method of making paper fans in his previous life.
"Wonderful! Young Master, this is a great gift. First, you can appreciate paintings and calligraphy at any time. Secondly, it was much more convenient to use than the current goose feather fan. I'll arrange it now. However, this writing still needs young master to prepare!”Xu Shu immediately fell in love with Wang Ting's paper fan after seeing it. Not only did this gift not cost too much silver, but it was also exquisite and convenient. Who wouldn't like it?
"Alright, after Yuanzhi is done, feel free to come and find me. Also, it's best if you make a more exquisite box to place this item.”Although the fan was good, the packaging was also very important. Wang Ting had personally experienced it. For example, mooncake makers. Mooncakes were not worth much, and the cost of packaging far exceeded the value of the mooncake itself. Those rich people still flocked to them. Secondly, it was to give him face so that he wouldn't be found out.
After Wang Ting and the others finished discussing, he quickly returned to the room that Xu Shu had arranged for him. After changing into a new set of clothes, he went to Mi Jing's residence.
Mi Jing and Diao Chan were arranged to stay in a small building next to her residence. When Mi Jing saw that Wang Ting had returned, she quickly came over and carefully checked him up and down. She was only relieved when she saw that he had not been injured.
"Young Master, you were so worried about Jing 'er. I'm relieved to see that you're fine! This Sister Diao Chan is really talented in literature. She's good at everything. We get along very well. Don't worry!”Along the way, Mi Jing and Diao Chan got along very well. They were moved by their pitiful experiences and admired their knowledge even more. Even if Young Master took a concubine in the future, he could still accept it.
"Ha, it's fine. I've frightened you along the way. I'll make it up to you when I have time!”Wang Ting narrowed his eyes and smiled at Mei Jing.
Mei Jing could tell that Wang Ting was up to no good, so she stood up and poured him a glass of water without replying.
"Miss Huo, are you satisfied with this place?”Wang Ting said to Diao Chan after he and Mi Jing finished talking.
At this moment, Diao Chan had already changed her clothes and regained her composure. She smiled and returned the greeting,"Benefactor, you've put in a lot of effort. How can this lowly concubine not be satisfied!”
"Ha, you don't have to call me that. You can call yourself Ling 'er or me, but don't lower yourself. There's no difference between high and low here, just ask Jing' er.”Wang Ting was really not used to hearing the ancient terms used to address oneself as a concubine.
"That benefactor has instructed!"
Sigh, here it comes again!
"In a while, you guys should rest for a while. Then, come to my study room and help me make some gifts. They will be used to entertain the scholars of Xiangyang tomorrow.”There was no problem with Wang Ting's writing, but if he needed to put a sticker on it, he would be a layman. Women were much more skillful.
Wang Ting returned to his study and did not idle around. He sat at his desk and thought about what poems to write on it.
