Seeing Tan Yuanshang's expression, Qi Zhongbin knew that the other party understood, so he said nothing more. The man in front of him was a first-rate smart man.

When Qi Zhongbin broke the nursery rhyme, Tan Yuanshang's spirit suddenly became enlightened.

Facing Tan Yuanshang's solemn salute, Qi Zhongbin also returned the salute, nodded and continued to look at the first stone tablet in Chengxing.

The so-called meeting for a while, in the eyes of immortal cultivators like Qi Zhongbin, this is enough.

"Good words, good words!"

Qi Zhongbin stroked his beard and admired in a low voice. This word is indeed very remarkable. What's even more rare is that he can feel that this word borrowed a trace of the charm of his master's handwriting, but it is also its own style. It is really rare.

Of course, it is impossible to completely copy the master's calligraphy. Not to mention ordinary people, even the immortal masters are afraid that few people can do it.

It’s not that the words are really difficult to write, but that it is one of the artistic conceptions of personal practice. Each monk has his own method, and it is almost impossible to truly reproduce it.

However, Tan Yuanshang did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood aside for a while and looked at the words on the first stone tablet in Chengxing.

"This word was written by Meng Shiming in the spring of the 13th year of Hongxing. At that time, he was also inscribed on the gold medal list and was appointed by His Majesty as a talented person. It was a moment of high spirits and he wrote with great momentum. It also used the stone tablet to express my feelings to me. Dayong’s strength is fixed at that moment!”

Qi Zhongbin nodded and turned to look at Tan Yuanshang.

"Since it was made in the 13th year of Hongxing, why is it called the First Stone Stele in Chengxing?"

Tan Yuanshang smiled.

"The current Holy Emperor is extremely powerful. When he succeeded to the throne, he vowed to make some achievements to show to the late emperor. This is also to inherit the late emperor's legacy. In the thirteenth year of Hongxing, Dayong has already become a well-deserved kingdom. The stone tablet is This name also comforts the late emperor and our ancestors!"

"Um!"

Qi Zhongbin nodded again, while Hui Mian whispered.

"Hehe, he is right. When the huge stone was erected and the stone tablet was not yet finished, Meng Shiming started writing. At that time, my husband and I were watching from where we are standing now, and a group of people cheered and cheered. ."

Hearing Hui Mian's words, Qi Zhongbin couldn't help but smile.

"By the way, may I know the old gentleman's surname and where he is from? If you come to the capital and have nowhere to stay, I would be willing to make some arrangements for the old gentleman!"

Tan Yuanshang stood there for such a short while, but he was actually observing the old man next to him from the corner of his eye. This man was dressed in simple clothes, but he had a childlike face and a heavy hair. The nursery rhyme was definitely intentional, indicating that the other person knew his identity at all.

But after pointing it out, there was no other reaction. He was really admiring the stone tablet, and there was a smile that came from the heart. At least Tan Yuanchang felt that it came from the heart.

Hearing Tan Yuanshang's words, Qi Zhongbin couldn't help but look at him seriously again, and even Hui Mian sighed.

"Tan Yuanchang deserves to be Tan Yuanchang. He will still be Tan Yuanchang when he gets old. No, this monster doesn't look old at all."

Qi Zhongbin laughed dumbly. Senior Hui was really humorous, but his smile had a deeper meaning in Tan Yuanshang's eyes, as if he wanted to take more care but was forced to get close to him.

"My surname is Qi, I am from Mingzhou, and I have settled in Tianxuguan in the city. I have the skills and feet, so there is no need for official Tan to arrange it!"

After that, Qi Zhongbin said no more, turned and left.

Tan Yuanchang was slightly surprised but did not stop him. Asking one or two more words was a sign of concern, and further entanglement was a sign of ignorance. At the same time, the old man's words also made him understand that the other party did know his identity.

As for money, don't give it away easily. Some people may really feel disgusted by it.

"Master, do you want to send someone to follow him? This matter may have something to do with him!"

When someone else said this, Tan Yuanchang glanced at it, then shook his head and said.

"No, let's go!"

At the carriage over there, Hu Kuangming had been sitting in the carriage waiting. At this moment, Tan Yuanshang finally came back. Someone opened the curtain and Tan Yuanchang slowly got into the carriage.

"Mr. Hu has been kept waiting for a long time!"

"I don't dare. What did Mr. Tan go to do?"

Tan Yuanshang smiled.

"It's not a big deal, I just feel curious when I see someone, so I go and have a look."

"oh."

Hu Kuangming actually heard that nursery rhyme, but he believed that Tan Yuanshang must be smarter than him.

At this time, the driver in front asked: "Master, can you leave?"

"Let's go!"

The carriage started moving, and while Tan Yuanshang was chatting with Hu Kuangming, he was distracted by thinking about things, thinking about the song here, and thinking about the old man with the same surname.

Tianxu concept?

Although Qi Zhongbin had appeared during the Lingdong disaster and even borrowed the Emperor's Sword, Tan Yuanshang had not actually seen him, and it had been too long to associate him with his last name.

"Mr. Tan, when will we enter the palace?"

Hearing this, Tan Yuanshang smiled slightly.

"Mr. Hu, don't be anxious. If you go to the palace to see a doctor, you won't be able to go immediately. You can't even do it too blatantly. I will arrange this!"

As if he suddenly remembered something, Tan Yuanchang said immediately.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Hu, there is something that Tan needs to apologize for first. I originally wanted to take you to major medical clinics in the capital to have a look and have some exchanges. However, the arrangement may be delayed a bit, so it will be a little later. Say it again!”

"It doesn't matter, just follow Mr. Tan's arrangements!"

"Thank you for your understanding, sir!"

Tan Yuanshang smiled and cupped his hands.

On the other side, Qi Zhongbin walked briskly on the street, while Hui Mian had already crawled onto his shoulder to complain.

"Hey, Mr. Qi, you can use some kindness. Tan Yuanshang is so rich, and there are many people who want to fawn over him just by licking his fingers. We can eat all the dishes in the capital!"

"Hahahaha. Senior Hui, your method is more reliable and saves trouble!"

Hui Mian grinned.

"You brat, my method is of course good, but it doesn't save you trouble. You can save your life if you find a place to stay!"

Qi Zhongbin's smile faded, his steps paused slightly, and he couldn't help but look back. Senior Hui was right.

"I just think this person is really good. If you encounter difficulties, he can also give you a solution."

Hui Mian swept Qi Zhongbin's cheek with his tail.

"That's all, Tan Yuanshang probably doesn't need your solution!"

"Senior Hui is right, let's find a place to sell crickets? I know there is someone under the road and bridge who collects crickets, so why not sell them there?"

Hui Mian was happy.

"Hahaha, what are you selling? If you are here, sir, and you have already reached this level, you will definitely join in and have fun together. How can you sell it at a high price if you don't have a fight to show off your strength?"

"Okay, then let's go fight together!"

——

In the imperial study room of the palace, Emperor Dayong still maintains a normal schedule to deal with government affairs, but often stops to rest for a while. At this moment, he feels tired, and he does not hold the pen in his hand tightly, and writes directly on the memorial in front of him. A long ink mark was drawn.

"His Majesty!"

The middle-aged eunuch on one side hurried forward, but the emperor had already reacted, waving his hand and putting the pen on the pen holder.

"I'm just tired."

"Your Majesty, can you call someone to knead it for you?"

The emperor nodded, and the eunuch immediately went out to give orders. After a while, the eunuch came back. Not only did he send someone to call the kneading palace servants, he also brought a piece of news.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Tan sent a message, saying that he brought back some rare things from this trip. He also thought that you haven't been to his place for a long time. He just happened to be back. When he has packed himself up, he will go to the palace to meet the saint. He also said that he would like to invite you to visit Tan Mansion."

"Oh? He's back?"

A smile appeared on the emperor's face. Tan Yuanshang was considered his elder, both externally and in his heart.

"What kind of strange things did he bring back? He doesn't seem to be out of trouble this time, is there anything strange?"

"I don't know about this, but Mr. Tan will not disappoint anyone!"

Of course, these eunuchs would not speak ill of Tan Yuanshang. After all, they had a lot of benefits from him.

The emperor nodded, no longer holding on at this moment. Exhaustion hit him, and he stood up on the chair. The eunuch on one side hurriedly came to help him, and then helped him sit on the soft couch on the other side.

"Oh, I am really, really tired."

"His Majesty."

The eunuch helped the emperor sit down, feeling nervous and panicked. His Majesty rarely said he was tired, but he seemed really tired in the past two years.

The imperial doctor said that the emperor might be too sad because of the death of the old queen mother, but as a personal eunuch, he felt uneasy.

"Your Majesty, why don't you call the imperial doctor to take a look?"

The emperor waved his hand.

"No, just rest more and you'll be fine"

As he spoke, the emperor lay down on the soft couch and fell asleep not long after.

In the dream, the emperor seemed to see his father handling government affairs in the study, but in reality he was still mumbling something in confusion. The eunuch wanted to hear but couldn't hear clearly.

At this time, the palace attendant in charge of kneading came, but the emperor was already asleep. The eunuch made a silent gesture to let people leave first.

In the outer room, the official responsible for recording sighed slightly, also feeling a little worried.

——

In a large palace in the capital, someone was watching singing and dancing.

The dancer is the Orchid from the Western Regions. Her graceful figure and the song and dance choreographed by Dayong are really pleasing to the eye and make the viewers smile and praise her frequently.

At this moment, someone hurriedly came in, walked up to the leader and bent down to whisper a few words. The leader looked at him in slight surprise.

"Tan Yuanshang is back?"

As soon as the sound came out, the guests nearby also heard it. Some people immediately clapped their hands "Papa~", and the singing and dancing in the hall immediately stopped.

"Everyone, get back!"

"yes!"

The dancer and musician stepped back, and the person above them nodded and looked at the person coming.

"When did this happen?"

"Back to Your Highness, just this morning, I heard that Mr. Tan sent someone to the palace."

"Sending someone into the palace so quickly, could it be that they brought something back to please my father?"

Someone from the guests nearby made a suggestion.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has already asked Prime Minister Chu, Mr. You and Mr. Chang about the succession this year. Why not pay a visit to Mr. Tan?"

The man at the head grinned.

"How can I go and show my courtesy to him?"

"Your Highness, what you said is wrong. Mr. Tan and the late Emperor are close friends. Strictly speaking, they are your elders. It is normal for juniors to be close to their elders. Don't be like the prince."

"Yes, I wonder if Your Highness has heard that children in the city now know a nursery rhyme. I only found out about it yesterday."

The person in charge said doubtfully.

"Oh? What nursery rhyme?"

The speaker did not sing the melody, but simply recited it lightly. Halfway through, the expressions of many people present changed slightly.

"Your Highness, this is the time to go!"

The man at the head was originally moved, but at this moment he suddenly shook his head.

"It's better not to be too conspicuous, and he will definitely know who Tan Yuanshang is soon. Besides, who can do anything against him? He has the iron certificate of the alchemy book given by the late emperor, so I don't need to care about singing and dancing. , come to me!"

At this order, the singing and dancing soon returned.
