[75] Why do you need to bring a treasured sword to talk about love?

Bai Jintang did not expect that he really saw Pang Tong here.

At this time, Pang Tong took off his brocade robe and was wearing a standard guard uniform.

It was dark and majestic, and did not detract from his dignity at all.

After the eyes of the two met, Pang Tong, who was originally expressionless, seemed to have a slight twitch of his mouth, but when Bai Jintang looked over carefully, he didn't see anything.

Bai Jintang looked at Pang Tong who was not looking sideways, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Ask him why he didn't come to the appointment?This is so sissy.

Then ask him why he didn't send a message?It's no different than a jerk.

Until Bai Jintang walked in front of Pang Tong following the magistrate who bent over to lead the way, he didn't think of what to say.

Then simply say nothing.

It's better to meet the nobleman first, and then think about Pang Tong.

He flicked the hem of his robe and stepped into the room, leaving the huge bodyguard behind.

Bai Jintang, who didn't look back, didn't know that the huge man had been staring at his back until he disappeared into the house.

Pang Tong remained calm, but he was full of doubts.

I don't know why the prince asked Jintang to come over.

Sitting in the room waiting for Bai Jintang was a very handsome and dignified young man.

The young man is about 30 years old, without beard, and the corners of his red phoenix eyes are slightly raised, giving people an invisible oppression.

For the first time, Bai Jintang knew the aura represented by the words Tianhuang Guihua.

When he thought of Pang Tong outside the door, he knew that this young man's identity must be extraordinary.

Bai Jintang didn't want to bow his knees, he just pretended that he didn't know anything.Putting fists in the palm of your hand counts as salute.

The young man was not formal, and his voice was very gentle when he spoke: "Is this Young Hero Bai?"

Bai Jintang answered yes.He raised his head and took a closer look at the young man's facial features, and suddenly felt that he was quite similar to the prince of Xiangyang Prince's Mansion.

After a little thought, he guessed who the person in front of him was.

If his guess is correct, then this person is sitting in the room, no wonder he can only stand outside the door as Pang Tong.

After all, Pang Tong is not yet the famous Flying Star General.

"Bai Shaoxia, please sit down."

The young man inside the door is very famous in later generations, appearing in many works of art related to Bao Gong and Yang Jiajiang.And the best synonym for youth in history is Zhongxian.

There is a passage about his libretto that Bai Jintang still remembers vividly:

You will be crowned alone as the first prince, the second good king, the third loyal king, the fourth Jin king, the five virtue kings, and the six respectful kings. The upper hall will not worship the king, and the lower hall will never leave the king. Once again, you have a concave golden stream. , Which one of the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty would dare to disrespect.

This "solitary" is Zhao Guangyi, the second emperor of the Song Dynasty, Taizong, and that "you" should be the young man standing in front of him.

If he guessed correctly, the person sitting in front of him is Zhao Defang, who is known as the Eight Sage Kings.

"I am Zhao Defang." The young man's voice was very gentle.It's like deliberately lowering the volume.He got straight to the point and revealed his identity first.

Bai Jintang followed Zhao Defang's eyes and looked at the small bed beside him, where a child younger than Yutang was sleeping.The little child was like a jade carving, nestled on the bed, his cheeks flushed in sleep.

He stood up and also lowered his voice: "I have seen the prince."

"Don't be too polite." Zhao Defang made a gesture of invitation, "My son is young, please don't be offended by Shaoxia Bai."

Hearing this, Bai Jintang's eyes suddenly filled with interest.

If I remember correctly, the young child on the bed should be the "civet cat".

He consciously lowered his voice, sat on the second seat beside him, and started talking with Zhao Defang.

Bai Jintang talked earnestly, without being humble or disrespectful, and the free and easy casualness of a group of people in the world made Zhao Defang secretly nod in his heart.

It's just a pity that this young man Bai has no intention of entering the officialdom at first glance.

The eight sage kings came here this time, in fact, following the order of his cousin Zhenzong, he went to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate people's livelihood.

"When I was among the people, I heard that the Baijia Maritime Trade is doing very well." The Eight Sage Kings did not say much, very straightforward, "Nowadays, the Liao people have invaded our border many times. If they want to attack the Liao Kingdom, the treasury will be empty. I don't know. Can Shaoxia Bai give me some advice?"

Bai Jintang's blood surged up for a moment, and he cupped his hands and said solemnly: "Bai is a martial artist, he can't do much, so he is willing to donate half of his family property to support the army."

"Bai Shaoxia misunderstood." Zhao Defang hurriedly pressed Bai Jintang's hand, "I just want to ask for advice on maritime trade." He shook his head slightly, his hands became stronger, and said softly, "Bai Shaoxia said something like this, you can't say it again in the future."

As soon as Bai Jintang was stunned, he understood the deep meaning of the Eight Wise Kings, and couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.When he thought of Shen Wansan in the future, he knew how unlucky it would be to be the court's purse.

Standing up, Bai Jintang saluted very solemnly: "Thank you Eighth Prince for your advice."

Zhao Defang hurriedly got up and supported Bai Jintang's arm, but he was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, he joked: "Could it be that Shaoxia Bai confused me with my eighth younger brother Yuan Yan?"

Zhao Defang went four times, and the folks called him the Eight Sage Kings.He also has a younger brother, Xingba, who was called the Eight Great Kings by the officials.

Bai Jintang, who had never figured out which of the Eight Sage Kings was ranked: "..."

It seems that the royal family of the Song Dynasty is still not close to the people. They don’t even know their own nickname ╭(╯^╰)╮.

Facing this famous virtuous king, Bai Jintang almost knew everything and said everything.

He was not afraid of imperial power and nobility, so he talked happily with the Eight Sage Kings, and even exchanged a lot of folk anecdotes after finishing the business.

At the end of the conversation, Bai Jintang suddenly noticed that the Baxian King's face seemed distressed, he hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What doubts does the lord have?"

Zhao Defang nodded: "I have something to ask of Young Master Bai."

"My lord, it's okay to say. If Jintang can do it, he should go all out."

Zhao Defang looked at Bai Jintang with a smile: "I originally wanted to take the white dragon fish suit and go to the folks to have a look, but the child is naughty, I'm afraid it would be difficult to do things with him."

"Ah?" Bai Jintang, who looked for the country and the people, was stunned for a moment.

"I heard that Young Master Bai is very skilled in martial arts, so I want to entrust the child to Young Master Bai to take care of him for now." Zhao Defang glanced at Bai Jintang's expression, and then said, "Don't worry, Young Master Bai, I will leave a few guards here. In fact, Young Master Bai does not need more worry."

Guard?Bai Jintang raised his eyebrows: "Okay."

"Actually, I also want children to get in touch with folks more—then there is Young Hero Lao Bai."

Bai Jintang's only request was to personally select the bodyguards who would stay to protect the eight sage king's sons.

After lunch, Bai Jintang and a group of guards stood in the open space of the county magistrate's mansion.

Looking at Pang Tong who was standing at the top, Bai Jintang pouted: "That's him."
