"Brother, there is less than a mile away, and you can reach Bianliang City."

Niu Gao's announcement suddenly came from outside the carriage, Xiao Tang smiled when he heard this, and said to Yan Qing and Xu Guanzhong who were sitting together in the carriage: "Xiao Yi, Guan Zhong, since we are about to arrive in Bianjing, let's learn chess skills when we are free." ”

Yan Qing and Xu Guanzhong glanced at each other when they heard this, the two of them couldn't hold back a smile, and said in unison: "Okay, it's up to my brother." ”

On the way back to Bianjing, there was nothing to do all the way, but it made Xiao Tang, who had a lot of matters to take care of some time ago, feel bored. In order to understand the stuffy Xiao Tang, he sometimes discussed with Wang Jin about some fists and feet, short fights, and gun and stick skills. Wang Jin was originally a highly qualified leader of the forbidden army, and he had been teaching military martial arts in the Bianjing forbidden army for a long time, because he not only had actual combat skills and was already a first-class general, but also better at teaching by word and deed.

However, Xiao Tang sometimes called Xu Guanzhong and Yan Qing to come over to play with him to relieve his boredom, but Go is very perceptive, although Xu Guanzhong, who has a good mind and knows the subtleties, although he has an easy-going and indifferent temperament, he is very accurate in controlling the general trend of the chess game.

And Yan Qing, who has all kinds of arts and is perfect, is also very good at chess, and what makes Xiao Tang even more angry is that according to Yan Qing's own words, he only learned a few moves out of curiosity. However, in the game with Xiao Tang, Rao is Xiao Tang was able to gain the upper hand for a while, and Yan Qing immediately made frequent tricks, and in the blink of an eye, he was able to turn the tide of the battle immediately......

It's just that Xiao Tang, who is familiar with chess skills, played against Xu Guanzhong and Yan Qing, and he didn't even win a game. If you can win a few games in the game, you can still have hope, but this taste of repeated defeats... It also made Xiao Tang feel more and more boring. Now that he is almost in Bianjing, Xiao Tang, a stinky chess basket, finally does not have to be beaten by the two brothers on Go.

Since the news of Xiao Tang's death had not passed before him reached Bianliang, Tokyo, the day before he arrived in Beijing, Xiao Tang also sent his personal entourage to Bianjing and reported that his entourage was about to reach Bianliang the next day. When the van car entered the Chenqiao Gate in Bianjingbei, Xiao Tang, who walked out of the carriage, was stunned by the scene in front of him.

In the ordinary flower-filled Bianjing City, at this time, there are more large groups of people gathered at the gate of Chenqiao one after another, but when they see the crowds of people and thousands of heads, it seems to be as lively and noisy as the Shangyuan and Bon festivals in Beijing.

Among the people, there were people who knew Xiao Tang's appearance and suddenly shouted, and immediately a large number of people rushed forward. On both sides of the long street, there were officials and officials who were maintaining order, and they forcibly gave way to allow Xiao Tang and his party to enter the city smoothly.

Xiao Tang really didn't expect that the people in Beijing would welcome him so grandly, in fact, everything happened for a reason, after all, after Xiao Tang dared to slap the rampant Gao Yanei in the downtown of Bianjing, his reputation in Bianjing began to soar suddenly.

What's more, there are also Xiao Tang's subordinates who desperately use thunderous means to clean up most of the city fox society rats in Bianjing who bully the weak and weak, but they are not like the bullies in the past who blackmailed Xiao Jia from the small merchants in the city. Although Gao Yanei, Niu Er, and Wang Qing, who are notorious in Bianjing, have no evidence that they were killed by Xiao Tang, they were all taught by Xiao Tang hard before their deaths. According to the gossip widely circulated in the market, the people in Bianjing City are also happy to believe that it was Xiao Tang, a Ren Xia who can call the wind and rain in black and white, who secretly took action, so as to get rid of those bullies who plagued the people.

Ordinary peddlers and pawns are already very concerned about some bizarre stories, and some time ago, there was an obituary in the north that Xiao Tang was killed when he was on an envoy to the Liao State, which really made many people in Bianjing sigh. But later, good news came that Xiao Tang was alive after death, and this well-known figure who taught all the people in Bianliang City would be able to arrive in Beijing today. Under the surprise, how could the people in Bianjing not gather together to find out?

Niu Gao, who was originally driving a horse and walking at the front of the chariot battle, was dumbfounded, he had grown so big and had seen such a big battle for the first time. Seeing that there was another group of people rushing up to Hula on the opposite side, he subconsciously rolled up his sleeves and clenched his fists, and said to those who seemed to be officials: "I said to all the ministers, fellow villagers, this is ...... Hey? It turned out that Saburo also came. ”

Shi Xiu, who escorted Su Jinniang and other Xiao Tang's family members back to Beijing in advance, took a look at it, and saw that the black man riding on the horse was Niu Gao, so he immediately smiled and said: "It turns out that my brother brought you, Niu Heizi, back to Bianjing, but I'm afraid that I will have to prepare more wine for the banquet prepared for my brother tonight!" ”

The honest Niu Gao didn't seem to hear the ridicule in Shi Xiu's words, but grinned and said in a simple voice: "Yes! On a good day, how can you do without wine? ”

The other officials in Bianjing City didn't bother to deal with Niu Gao, a black man, and after they had passed Niu Gao's side one after another, Xiao Tang saw clearly the colleagues and friends who came to greet him. Among the officials in the DPRK and China, there are Wang Huan, Han Duanyan, Zhang Kai, Han Cunbao, and even Li Heng, who is currently the martial arts doctor of the Imperial City Division, and there are also Xiao Jiasui, Yang Xu, Hou Jian, Zheng Tianshou and other brothers in the Xiao Mansion in Bianjing waiting for Xiao Tang to return to Beijing.

Seeing Xiao Tang standing alive in front of him, Han Cunbao was the first to step forward, and before Xiao Tang could salute him, he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said loudly: "Xiao Xian's nephew, you can be regarded as returning to the capital division!" God also opened his eyes, and he didn't teach you that someone killed someone in Liaodi! ”

Xiao Tang also smiled: "Why should Han Jieshuai be concerned? If you want to accept the life of the younger generation, it is not helpful to have a few young people. ”

Han Cunbao laughed when he heard this, and when Xiao Tang and Wang Huan, Han Duanyan, Zhang Kai, Li Hui and others talked about the salute one by one, and Xiao Jiasui first met Wang Jin, and then quietly walked to Yan Qing and Xu Guanzhong, and said in a low voice: "Two brothers, the young master took advantage of the fake death to make a big battle this time!" You have also followed him to Liaodong, Yanyun, Jingdong and other places to make a few games, is this kind of experience still refreshing? ”

Yan Qing and Xu Guanzhong also smiled when they heard this, and Yan Qing whispered back to Xiao Jiasui: "Brother is a person with outstanding intelligence and strong means, if you are afraid of staying in Beijing, next time you will also help Brother Xiao Tang to use his fists and kicks in the rivers and lakes." These years of travel have really taught me a lot. ”

Xiao Jiasui smiled faintly, and also quipped: "Acting in the green forest by deception is just an idea made by the young master, how can it be repeated?" At that time, it depends on the young master's arrangement, and when I join the green forest to help him, I am afraid that I can only sit in the cottage. ”

The people who came to greet Xiao Tang as soon as he returned to Bianjing were naturally the people who had a very deep relationship with Xiao Tang and had the closest relationship. For Xiao Tang's safe return, their surprise reactions were also the most sincere. And now among the crowd gathered at the gate of Chenqiao in Bianjing, there are still a few pairs of vicious eyes staring at Xiao Tang who is laughing and laughing with Wang Huan, Han Cunbao and others.

At this time, seeing the warm welcome of the officials of the DPRK and the people in the city to Xiao Tang, several Yu Hou and Chengju officials sent by Gao Yu to find out what was going on felt uneasy in their hearts.

For most of the officials and generals who are now serving in the palace marshal's mansion, for the sake of fame and fortune and the future of their careers, they naturally choose to take refuge in the Taiwei Gao Yu, who is in charge of the two divisions and three yastries of the forbidden army, because he is also a popular man in front of Song Huizong, or Gao Yu, who is old and sophisticated, is more powerful, and he can suppress Xiao Tang in the palace marshal's mansion. Counting on the officials and generals who want to sell their skills to the emperor's family, in order to keep their rich and noble officials, they are willing to be high-ranking domestic slaves.

After all, whether intentionally or unintentionally, if Gao Yu thinks that he is unwilling to obey him, Lin Chong, Xu Ning, Yang Zhi, Ling Zhen and others will end; Those who did not do things well and made Gao Taiwei unhappy were expelled from the palace marshal's mansion, and the two brothers Dang Shiying and Dang Shixiong, who were stripped of their official bodies, are examples. So when they heard that their master's rival Xiao Tang had died, they could only follow Gao Yu to celebrate and celebrate loudly.

But now this Xiao Tang has returned to Beijing with all his beards and tails, and from the court's posthumous title of his official title, the official family still treats him very favorably. Now many officials in the palace marshal department have gradually realized that on the surface, it seems that Gao Yu has made Xiao Tang in the front of the palace not have any real power, and even when he has successively eradicated his colleagues who are good friends with him in the military department, Xiao Tang has no ability to make any counterattacks, but now Xiao Tang, who has seen that he has gone and returned, still has such a reputation, although Gao Taiwei hates him to the bone, but he has always been helpless against Xiao Tang himself.

Can Gao Taiwei really fight Xiao Tang? Or rather......

The cronies of Gao Yu who were mixed with the people had their own thoughts, and one of the sharp-eyed Chengju suddenly saw the man with a spear and a horse in front of Xiao Tang's chariot, he couldn't help but stare at him, and secretly said: Isn't that guy the head of the sect who resigned due to illness? Unexpectedly, relying on Xiao Tang's momentum, he would dare to return to Bianjing! I can't say it, I have to report this matter to the captain as soon as possible!
