Chapter 2: Encounter ()

The sniper put away the gun, and another sniper companion gave him a thumbs up and praised him for his quick reaction. But in fact, he was also confused. At that moment, the gangster lost control of himself. Yes, this was the situation he saw, otherwise how dare he shoot, no matter how good his gun skills were, even though this did not prevent him from getting commended.

Tang Jinlou originally thought that people died and everything was gone, but he never expected that he would have a second life. And it was in a different world.

Through secretly reviewing the Tang family's collection of books, he determined that this was in a certain era of the Ming Dynasty. As for the emperor, it was not clear yet, but that was enough. Tang Jinlou was very confident in his mind, whether it was the past or the present.

In his shallow life plan - he believes that everyone should have a rough plan for their life, but not too detailed - he is on the list and then issuing it as a small official, "acting for power" in the place he can control is really relaxed and comfortable.

And he has always done this.

Or before he was ten years old, he had been working towards this goal. But when he was ten years old, things changed. It was a very serious change.

"Young Master, Young Master." Tang Jinlou was looking at the scenery. When he heard the shouts, he looked downstairs. It turned out that he was Zhang Erniu, a servant in his family.

"What's up?"

"The master has called you home for dinner."

"Oh, I know." Tang Jinlou waved his hand. The restaurant was actually Tang Yuanwai's own property, but Tang Jinlou rarely eats here, and always goes home to eat. He often comes when he sees the scenery.

Tang Jinlou stretched out and walked downstairs. The shopkeeper was calculating in front of the counter, not knowing what to write. When he saw Tang Jinlou coming down, he nodded and smiled, "Young Master, walk slowly."

Tang Jinlou nodded in response. At this time, a clear voice came from the door: "Shop, are there any room?" Tang Jinlou looked at the sound and his eyes lit up.

I saw a gentleman walking into the inn, followed by a young man who looked like a servant. The man looked not very old but was very old and followed the Confucian man. The two looked like talented literati traveling with a book boy. Unfortunately, the sword of the elegant man showed their true identities.

Could it be the legendary character? Tang Jinlou thought to himself. "Since he was a child," he knew that there were such heroes in this world who were so famous. Unfortunately, the news about the people in the town was too closed, and he didn't even know the names of the famous people in the world. Tang Jinlou once asked the shopkeeper who had masters in the world, but he didn't even know any of them. However, he still remembered a few famous sects. Wudang, Shaolin, Demon Sect... and the ones close to them were the Huashan Sword Sect on Huashan, but it declined a few years ago.

Tang Jinlou was extremely depressed... This is very different from not saying anything. Fortunately, he was very enthusiastic about the imperial examinations, and he had never seen a few serious martial arts people in the past ten years, so his persistence in masters gradually faded. But now seeing a person with a temperament that looks like a master can't help but increase his interest.

The shopkeeper went forward and said, "Yes, yes, you two are going to stay for a few days."

"One day." said the man.

"Xiao Liuzi, take two guest officials to see the house."

"Thank you." The man said, the waiter had already walked up the stairs and said, "Please please, the guest officer." The servant-like man owed his body and said to the man, "Please please, Master."

The man nodded and suddenly turned his head to look at Tang Jinlou. It was obvious that he had already noticed Tang Jinlou looking at him. He nodded with a smile and went upstairs. Tang Jinlou was stunned for a while, Erniu urged outside the door, Tang Jinlou responded and went home with him absent-mindedly.

After leaving the inn, Tang Jinlou found that it was getting dark. When he returned home, Tang Jinlou was surprised to see the servants walking in a hurry, some even carrying bags.

"Dad, what happened?" Tang Jinlou asked hurriedly when he saw his father.

"Nothing happened, I asked the servants to stay home for a few days." Tang Yuanwai said while drinking tea. Tang Jinlou ran to Tang Yuanwai in two steps and grabbed his beard with one hand. "Why do you drive away the servants at home? There are no servants, who will do the work at home..."

"Okay, OK," Mr. Tang leaned back and tried hard to protect his beard. "We will also leave for a few days and will not stay at home these days."

Tang Jinlou let go of his prank hand and said seriously: "What happened?"

Tang Yuanwai looked at his son's serious face, stretched out his right hand lovingly, touched his head, and took his hand back until Tang Jinlou made serious protests, and said with a smile: "It's nothing great, it's the horses on Xilong Mountain that robbed Liu Feng Town the day before yesterday. The person who escaped to report the news said that the thieves did not return to the mountain and went towards Qinghe Town again, so I asked the servants to avoid it first, just in case..."

Tang Jinlou frowned and said, "Qinghe Town is only a few dozen miles away from our Qingquan Town. The bandits went to Qinghe and it is very likely that they would come to us by the way. Dad...if we don't have time to leave..."

Tang Yuanwai didn't expect his ten-year-old son to say these words, so he was stunned and said, "Don't worry, child, you are still young, you don't know the habits of horse thieves... Although they are bandits and robbers, they didn't get in after they got down their own mountain. I have already ordered Lai Fu to take a few people to guard the mountain outside the town. When he saw the horse thieves coming, he would light a bonfire. When we rode horses, the thieves would definitely not catch up with us."

Tang Jinlou nodded. Even if Tang Yuanwai's thoughts seemed to be very safe, they were very safe. However, Tang Jinlou had an indescribable feeling when he first encountered something like a horse thief and a robber.

"We will stay at the inn tomorrow for a few days. There can be horses on the backyard, and it is very close to the road out of town." Tang Jinlou said slowly, and the man he saw today suddenly flashed through his mind.
