第0066章 三将军

唐振说完借钱的事，又开始正面谈论万花楼。

原来，唐家早就盯上了万花楼这颗摇钱树，尤其是在太皇太后薨驾以后。

唐振说：“我们不是不想接手万花楼，而是万花楼一直排斥我们唐家。人家不用你保护，你非要去，这算什么？

耍无赖吗？

In our Tang family, the title of Duke is hereditary and not replaced. The Tang residence has its own reputation and would not stoop so low.

If others were to see me, Tang Zhen, relying on a brothel for livelihood, I would feel very ashamed. However, there is another issue with this statement. If they were to actively seek my protection, then that would be a different matter, and I would not hesitate to help.

To be honest, I waited for them for a long time, but they never showed up.

You have only been in Luoyang for a few days, how did they find you?

Zhu Que is not an ordinary woman. She comes from an assassin background, has experienced hardships, and seen the world. Initially, it was the Han family who helped her to exonerate. She should be grateful to them. But now, is she tearing down the Han family?

Tang Zhen continues to ask a few questions. In the process of asking, he is actually analyzing the problems.

Chen Mu gives Tang Zhen some time to think, without speaking immediately.

Tang Zhen suddenly laughs out: "Is your household registered in the Wan Hua Building?"

Tang Zhen's thinking is very capricious, and his sudden question made Chen Mu laugh.

This is actually a very difficult question to answer. Moreover, implicitly, Tang Zhen is suspecting whether Chen Mu, like Zhu Que, also comes from an assassin organization. As an important figure of the clan, he rarely meets people in ordinary times, which involves security considerations. Tang Zhen's willingness to meet Chen Mu, whose identity is unknown, is in itself a risk, but also a trust and care.

Facing this question, Chen Mu felt that answering "I forgot" would be evasive, so he decided not to say anything and just smiled.

Kong Xiaoxian had already greeted Tang Zhen in the letter, so Tang Zhen didn't intend to dwell on this issue. He also smiled and stood up, saying, "Since the madam invited me through you, I think it's necessary for me to go and have a seat."

Shi Jin rushed to the door and shouted, "Who does she think she is? Why would the young master need to meet her? Just leave this matter to me. It's just about protecting a building, and I, Shi San, am the best at it."

"You are best at pursuing girls there, so you should stay out of this matter. Even if you succeed, it will only lead to trouble wherever you go."

"Then don't go see her. Who knows what her intentions are? If she plans to harm the young master, what should we do? It would be better if I go and bring her to the Tang residence. I think that would be more appropriate."

"Why, in your eyes, am I Tang Zhen so timid? I can't even dare to meet a woman?"

"This is not about being brave or not, but a matter of worthiness. Who is the young master? Is it worth taking such risks?"

Tang Zhen sneered, "Am I Tang Zhen afraid of risks? I have charged into battle amidst thousands of soldiers. Do I fear a few assassins? As a formidable eighth-ranked warrior, how many people in Luoyang City can actually harm me? Besides, what do you even do for a living?"

Shi Jin was speechless.

Tang Zhen beckoned to the maid and she immediately fetched a cloak. While putting on the cloak, Tang Zhen said, "A woman invited me to protect her, but I dare not even step foot inside her house. It's embarrassing."

Tang Zhen pondered for a moment, "We can't delay any longer. Bring ten people with us and let's go now. I'll meet with this Thousand-Handed Guanyin." Reading is fascinatingkhshu

"Should we bring soldiers or swordsmen?" Shi Jin asked eagerly.

"Have Lin Jun and Chen Mu follow me, and you bring ten soldiers."

"Yes!"

Lin Jun, Tang Qiong's personal swordsman, is always available when Tang Qiong is at home, ready to be called upon when the young lord goes out. Despite his age, Lin Jun is said to be in his fifties, but his combat prowess still remains at the ninth rank.

Speaking of Lin Jun, there is still a close connection between him and Zhuge, the head of the Wanhua Tower. However, Tang Zhen didn't mention what exactly happened between them.

Jianke, specialized in training for assassins, not only possess extremely powerful combat abilities but also have a keen sense of smell. Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

这样的人，难道不是应该放到战场上吗？

有的人并不适合战场。

而且对族长来说，没什么能比保自己的命更重要了。命都没了，还谈什么远大抱负。所以三大门阀族长和皇帝的身边，从来不缺少高品剑客。比如大宗师程万奴，如今又成了天赐皇帝的身边人。

大司马卫骑，在洛阳城里可以纵马驰骋，但只有六百个人，就养在清化坊里。这六百人精挑细选，装备精良，光明甲头盔上都加装有护脸面具，如果把他们送到战场上去，六百打两千，不在话下。

Tang Zhen didn't hurry to leave. Instead, he had another conversation with his father. Just as it was almost time for dinner, Shi Jin rushed over to find Chen Mu. "Hey, pretty boy, it seems like you're not ordinary. So, are you really waiting for me to treat you to a meal? Let me ask you, if the young master inquires about this tomorrow, what do you plan to say?"

Chen Mudao: "I told General Shi to go drink Northwest Wind, and it made me very happy."

Shi Jinchong smiled and replied, "Hey, I find you quite interesting. How about this, I'll go to the Wan Hua Lou and treat you, and you can find me some pretty Qingguan girls to satisfy my desires. From now on, we'll be brothers."

"Oh my, Brother Shi's words are truly insightful, they have broadened Chen Muchang's horizons."

"Oh, don't call me Big Brother, I am the third brother. Wang Caotian and Zhen Badao are my older and second brothers, respectively." Translation: "Oh my, Brother Shi's words are truly insightful, they have broadened Chen Muchang's horizons." "Oh, don't call me Big Brother, I am the third brother. Wang Caotian and Zhen Badao are my older and second brothers, respectively."

“王操天，甄霸道？”听到这两个名字，陈牧差点没笑出声来。这名字也太豪横了。

陈牧问：“是王天和甄道两位将军吧？你们为什么都改名了呢？”

Shi Jin scratched his bald head and looked somewhat ashamed: "It's a long story. The three of us, including Qi Luzi and Qi Dongyang, grew up together since we were kids, all practicing martial arts in the martial arts academy. In the past, the three of us had conflicts with Qi Luzi and often fought. Although the three of us couldn't beat him, we still had to fight because we are men. We can lose in a fight, but we can't be afraid of him beating us. But later on, we all became part of the 18th Lord's group, known as the four tigers of the second division. The three of us thought that we should improve our relationship with Luzi. So, we went to talk to him, suggesting that we all kowtow to the ground and become sworn brothers. But that Luzi refused, saying that he wouldn't kowtow to the three of us because our names have two characters. What kind of reason is that? I think he was just making things difficult for us, looking down on us. Later, we went to the 18th Lord and told him about this. That day, the 18th Lord had a bit of alcohol and said, 'I will change your names for you, and then you can go and ask Qi Dongyang to become your sworn brother.'"

"Did Young Master come up with your three names?"

"Yes, he did. Although later Young Master said he was just joking with us, we believed him. That night, the three of us went to the Ministry of War together to change our names. The people at the Ministry of War thought we were drunk and caused Wang Caotian to get angry, so he kicked over the counter. That upset the low-ranking clerk there, and he intentionally gave us wrong names. Originally, my name should have been Shi Jinchong, but because he knew I didn't know many characters, he wrote it as Shi Jinchong. Because of this, I wanted to go beat him up. If Young Master hadn't stopped me, I would have messed up his face."

"Did the three of you cause a commotion at the Ministry of War without being punished?"

"Why weren't you punished? Tang Qiong knows about this, and in front of Tang Ning, he whipped our butts until they were bleeding."

“呵。”陈牧干笑无语，心道：这到底是三个什么人？近亲结婚的产物吗？这也太浑了点。

不过混熟了之后发现，其实史进冲这个人挺可爱。

Silly with a hint of cleverness, clever with a touch of muddle.
