World Traveler

After Yanan and the others asked curiously, they learned how Tang Sheng knew his master.

That year, in the pavilion under heavy rain, I happened to meet Tang Zhongling and we talked about the affairs of the world. It was such a pleasure.

A poor scholar and a down-and-out man.

One is a scholar and the other is a warrior. Even though they have different views, they respect each other.

But I didn't expect that it was this meeting that led to the execution and saved his life.

The world is unpredictable...

As for what it was called before?

It doesn't matter anymore. Since he passed the imperial examination, he dared to make such a remonstration when he met the emperor, which offended the people in power who served the emperor.

As a result, he was imprisoned on false charges, and his elderly parents and first wife in his hometown all died an untimely death.

I have nothing to worry about in this world.

He then joined the Tang Clan and changed his name to Tang, with the single character "sheng" (Sheng).

As Tang Sheng told his story, the atmosphere at the scene became very depressed, and everyone felt sympathy for what Tang Sheng had experienced.

"Let's go! Don't think about these sad things. What's in the past is in the past. I'll take you to a good place."

These words were spoken by Tang Buyi, who then stood up and led everyone in one direction.

Passing through the bustling market, an exquisite courtyard comes into view. On the lintel hangs a carved plaque with the three large characters "Yihongyuan" engraved on it.

When they arrived, everyone fell silent.

"This...this isn't a good idea, is it?"

Tang Sheng said with hesitation as he looked at the excited Tang Buyi in front of him.

"Do you have money?"

This is what Tang Zheng said on the side.

Tang Buyi turned to look at Yanan, only to see Yanan speaking to Tang Buyi with a gentlemanly look.

"Buyi, as a Tang Sect disciple, how can you be so unrestrained?"

After saying this, without waiting for Tang Buyi's reaction, he added another sentence.

"wait for me."

Yanan disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Less than two minutes later, Yanan returned here, walking with a stagger, holding a fan in his hand and wearing expensive jewelry.

"Let's go, Young Master Ya will treat us tonight."

The faces of the people watching twitched. They could not imagine that the man in front of them, who looked like a young man, was the one who had just stood on the moral high ground and poked Tang Buyi.

"Didn't you just say..."

"Tsk, what does what Tangmen Yanan said have to do with what my noble son Yanan said?"

Without waiting for their reply, he easily asked the servant for a private room and a few jars of good wine, and then naturally integrated into the guests of Yihongyuan.

Tang Buyi didn't think too much about it. He shouted "Wait for me" from behind and then trotted after him.

Tang Zheng didn't say anything and walked over.

Tang Sheng looked outside and saw himself standing there alone. He said a few words, and after hearing Swenru's words, he gritted his teeth and followed him in.

Sitting in a clean and elegant room, he rejected the girls introduced by the madam in the face of Tang Buyi's reluctant gaze.

Listening to the little tune downstairs, everyone started drinking one glass of wine after another.

After drinking this little wine, all the worries disappeared. Originally, Tang Sheng had a lot of barriers with everyone due to his age, but after two or three glasses, all the worries disappeared.

After a while, the formalities were not followed, and the two of them were calling each other "elder brother" and "third junior brother".

Even Tang Zheng, who was known for his aloof nature, was able to chat with them intermittently under the influence of alcohol.

After a while, Tang Buyi and Tang Zheng both fell asleep due to drinking. At an appropriate time, Tang Sheng made a complaint, and Yanan, who was also somewhat intoxicated by alcohol, immediately stopped what men love to do most.

"What kind of world is this? Demons and monsters are everywhere! They bring disaster to the court and the people, all for their own selfish desires."

"Well, drink and drink."

Seeing Tang Sheng about to jump up in anger, Yanan pretended to pull him. Tang Sheng cooperated and sat down. He picked up the wine, took two sips, and sighed.

"Alas, I have strategies for stabilizing the country, establishing state power, methods for maintaining health, and strategies for defeating the enemy, but I have no place to display my skills."

"Instead, those corrupt officials and incompetent ministers pinned these false charges on me."

"Alas, even the emperor in the imperial court has been deceived by treacherous ministers, and the people of the world have suffered for a long time."

Tang Sheng sighed repeatedly, leaving Yanan speechless.

"So, this is why I choose to practice martial arts and become what you call a man of the world."

Tang Sheng nodded after hearing this and said a little embarrassedly.

"When I was a poor scholar, I looked down on these warriors who were causing chaos in the world. I didn't expect that I would envy them now."

Yanan raised his hand and shook it to indicate that he did not mean that.

“Heaven and earth nourish man with all things, but man has nothing to give back to heaven.”

After saying this incomprehensible sentence, he immediately exuded a murderous aura.

"Kill, kill, kill! If that's the case, then kill all these treacherous officials!"

Perhaps frightened by the murderous aura from Yanan, Tang Sheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said nothing more.

"Do you think there's something wrong with my approach?"

"It's good to be without them, but the world will fall into chaos even faster."

"why?"

"Because their influence has spread across the country, if anything happens to them, the entire court and bureaucracy will be paralyzed."

"I see. That's why we need to kill everyone related to them."

“…No, you can’t do that.”

"why?"

"Because now, in the eyes of the emperor, they are all a group of beloved ministers, and the emperor does not want to touch them."

"Then just kill the emperor?"

After hearing this, Tang Sheng sobered up a little instantly. He covered Yanan's mouth and looked around. After a while, he put down his hand and wiped the sweat off his face.

"Hush, be careful with your words, be careful with your words. As subjects, we cannot say such outrageous words."

"Am I still his subject?"

“You are on this land.”

"Who said that?"

"It has been like this since ancient times. If you were born here, you are a citizen of this place."

"Tsk..."

Seeing Yanan's obviously disapproving expression, Tang Sheng hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"So, for the Tang Sect and for everyone, don't do things you shouldn't do."

"Haha, something that shouldn't be done? The blue sky is dead, so the yellow sky should be established?"

He tilted his head back slightly to avoid the hand that was trying to cover his mouth.

"You're planning a rebellion!? You're crazy!"

"No, just chatting, and is there anything else to do?"

"........."

"Both Mongolia and the Jin Dynasty are now hoping to take a piece of the Song Dynasty's flesh. Does the Song Dynasty have any other options? Are we hoping that the emperor will suddenly wake up one day?"

"........."

"What's the point of coming to your senses? Killing all those traitors? Don't you think this is just going back to the beginning?"

Tang Sheng stared at the eyes of the man in front of him who said he might be beheaded but remained calm, and an idea came to his mind.

This kid's idea is really outrageous!
