Wang Lun's whereabouts are not mentioned for the time being, and he said that it will be the birthday of Tong Guan, the privy envoy of the dynasty, in a few days. Officials of all sizes in Beijing and other places also did their best to loot gold and silver treasures, in order to dedicate them to Tong Guan and please him.

The privy envoy was one of the three prime ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty, equivalent to the current high-ranking official, and was the largest military senior official at that time.

All the guards are straight, the internal and external forbidden soldiers are recruited, the examinations, the relocation, the cantonment, the rewards and punishments, all are in charge. In order to promote and dispose, discard and post the military register. If there is a change of war, an envoy will be sent to the surrender talisman. In addition to the provincial officials and military election officials, generals, road sub-supervisors, and border patrol envoys.

The new governor of Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo is named Zhang Wenchang, who has just been promoted from Sichuan, and he is also a protégé disciple of Taiwei Tong Guan.

Tong Guan leads the army all the year round and has a lot of power in the army. There are also many cronies in the officialdom, and this Zhang Wenchang is one of them.

Zhang Wenchang has also been depressed in the past few days, and there are still a few days to be Tong Guan's birthday, and now the gift has not yet been settled. Kaifeng Mansion Yin is not like those Zhizhou prefects outside, this Tokyo Bianliang is full of dignitaries and nobles, where is his small Kaifeng Mansion Yin can offend, so the oil and water he fishes is naturally the least.

After thinking about it, Zhang Wenchang remembered something. Yang Zhi killed Niu Er in anger, although Yang Zhi's death penalty could not be escaped, but his ancestral treasure knife fell into the hands of Kaifeng Mansion Yin.

Tong Guan is the head of the generals, and Zhang Wenchang knows that he likes divine weapons. So he did what he liked and dedicated this treasure knife to Tong Guan.

On this day, in the Privy Council, Tong Guan sat at the top, next to Yin Zhang Wenchang, the head of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Tong Guan can be said to be the eunuch who controlled the military power the most in Chinese history; the eunuch with the highest knighthood; The first eunuch to represent the state.

He is not as thin and yin as he imagined, but tall and mighty, full of masculinity. Zhang Wenchang is walking on thin ice under his hands.

At this time, what Tong Guan was playing with was Yang Zhi's ancestral treasure knife. Tong Guan took the treasure knife and looked at it over and over, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, as if he was not looking at a knife, but a peerless beauty.

"Good knives! Good knives! It's really a good knife, hahaha, Wenchang has a heart, and he likes it very much. Tong Guan couldn't put it down, and praised with a smile.

Zhang Wenchang next to him seemed to have received a great honor, and he was courteous to Tong Guanda, patting him vigorously, where is the dignified prefect of Kaifeng Mansion, a dog-legged person.

But seeing that Tong Guan suddenly lost his smile and inserted it into the scabbard, he sighed, Zhang Wenchang next to him was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "How did the privy sigh well?" Isn't it a treasure knife sent by the lower officials? ”

Tong Guan shook his head, sighed heavily, and then said: "No, Wenchang's treasure knife is very fond of it, and I can't put it down!" However, there are no divine weapons and no armor to protect themselves, which is also a big pity. How to call the true phase not to sigh, alas! ”

Zhang Wenchang listened to Tong Guan's words, did not speak, lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, the air seemed to be frozen.

Suddenly, Zhang Wenchang's eyes rolled, raised his head and arched his hand towards Tong Guanyi and said, "Speaking of Baojia, the lower official really knows that someone has it."

Tong Guan was overjoyed when he heard it, and hurriedly asked, "Really?" Who is it? ”

Zhang Wenchang was bent on currying favor with Tong Guan, and replied truthfully: "It's true, the officials and generals in Beijing all know about this matter. This treasure armor is called the Yanling Circle Golden Armor, which is the family heirloom of Xu Ning, the head of the Golden Gun Class. After putting it on, he didn't avoid knives and guns, and he didn't look at it with outsiders as a treasure on weekdays, and the privy councillor was majestic, so he called that Xu Ning to ask for this treasure armor, and he didn't dare to refuse if he wanted to come. ”

Tong Guan's eyes lit up after hearing this, this golden gunner Xu Ning He had also heard of it, it is said that this person is strong in martial arts, and his hook and sickle in one hand is powerful in Tokyo, and no one can beat him. It's just that I heard that Xiao Wang asked for it, but he didn't ask for it, so I don't know if Xu Ning can bow to him.

Tong Guan nodded in agreement immediately, and immediately sent someone to summon Xu Ning.

An hour or so, a man came in from outside, wearing armor. When Tong Guan looked at Xu Ning, he really looked like a good person: six feet five or six long body, a white face in Tuan Tuan, three teeth and a thin black mustache, very thin waist and broad shoulders.

Xu Ning walked in, hugged his fist towards Tong Guan, and said, "The last general Xu Ning has seen the privy councilor, I don't know what the lord called the last general to come and order?"

Tong Guan was not verbose, and said bluntly: "I heard that General Xu is good at martial arts, and he is a first-class loyal and righteous person, and this official has the heart to recommend the general to serve in the border army and be a general." In the future, the meritorious service on the battlefield will also shine on the lintel, and the general will be waiting to worship the general, what does the general think? ”

Xu Ning was overjoyed when he heard Tong Guan's words, but he wondered how this traitor remembered him, so he immediately agreed: "The last general thanks Lord Taiwei for his appreciation, Xu Ning will be loyal to the country, make meritorious contributions, and live up to the high expectations of Lord Taiwei."

"However, this official recently got a good knife, but unfortunately he didn't have a pair of armor to protect himself, and this official heard that General Xu has an ancestral armor in his family?"

Tong Guan said that he didn't go any further, although he said it more vaguely, but as long as he was not stupid, he could hear the meaning of the words.

Xu Ning was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that he suddenly wanted to promote him, it turned out that he had fallen in love with his own Golden Circle Goose Lingjia. I didn't want to go out to Liao and escaped the horse, but I couldn't avoid Tong Guan.

If it weren't for this armor, how could he be in the Golden Gun Class.

Xu Ning gritted his teeth and said strongly: "My lord, this Yan Ling Armor is a treasure handed down by the last general's family, forgive Xu Ning for all difficulties."

Tong Guan saw that Xu Ning rejected himself without thinking about it, and the anger in his heart rose at the moment. But he didn't show it, he laughed at the moment and said: "Well, since General Xu refuses to cut his love, then the official will not be difficult to force others, and the official will not leave the general if he still has something."

When Xu Ning saw Tong Guan say this, he also got up to say goodbye, turned around and walked out of the Taiwei Mansion.

After Xu Ning left, Zhang Wenchang walked out from behind the screen, saw Tong Guan's gloomy face, and said immediately: "My lord, this Xu Ning really doesn't know the current affairs, don't worry, the lower officials will find a way to arrest that Xu Ning to the prison and send it to the border army, and then the golden circle goose Lingjia is not your adult."

Tong Guan nodded and said, "This matter will be handled by you, cleanly."

"Yes, don't worry, sir." Zhang Tiande yin laughed and said.

When he went home that night, Xu Ning told his wife about Tong Guan's request for Baojia today.

When Mrs. Xu heard this, Xiumei frowned, and proposed: "Xu Guanzhong, the new Hanlin bachelor of the official family, is not a friend of her husband, why don't you ask him to come forward!" ”

"Although Xu Hanlin is favored by the Son of Heaven, where can he be compared with Tong Guan!" Xu Ning didn't have a good airway.

Mrs. Xu wanted to say it again, but Xu Ning went out to teach her son Xu Sheng martial arts. Mrs. Xu looked at her husband Xiao Suo's back and sighed faintly.
