In the early morning two days later, Chu Tianya and Wang Xun followed Wang Yu to the county king's mansion, preparing to go out of the city with Tong Guan to meet the envoys of the Jin State.

Before leaving, Wang Yu told Chu Tianya and Wang Xun a thousand times, telling them not to be reckless and impulsive. Nowadays, the relationship between Song and Jin has become tense, and there are many rumors on the border about the "imminent invasion of the Jin soldiers". At such a juncture, if we make a mistake in the Great Song Dynasty, it will undoubtedly be an excuse to give people a handle and send troops to the Jin State.

Chu Tianya heard it in his ears, sighed in his heart, and said secretly: It is a historical foregone conclusion that the Jin people will go south, and no one can change it. No matter how cautious we are, the Jin people can find an excuse to send troops.

Besides, aggression is aggression, and do we really need a reasonable excuse? Maybe one day the marshal of the Jin Kingdom woke up and said that the thrush raised by my wife was lost, and it may have flown to the south. That's why I'm going to send troops to the south to get this bird back - and that would be an excuse to send troops!

But Chu Tianya naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to say these words. Woe comes from the mouth, and it has always been.

When the group arrived at the county king's mansion, they saw that it was quite lively. Tong Guan is already preparing to welcome the team. In addition to the brightly dressed soldiers and horses and honor guards, as well as gongs and drums singing, the palace is also full of lights, as if a big joy is coming, just send a team of cheerleaders holding colorful balls and wearing sailor uniforms, standing at the gate of the palace and dancing the splitting dance.

"Zhengchen, you're here!" Seeing Wang Yu coming, Tong Guan smiled happily, and seemed to be in a good mood. He said, "Look at it, how are you preparing?" ”

Wang Yu smiled and said, "The prince is very well prepared. It's just that I don't know who the envoys of the Jin State who visited the south this time are? ”

"The king doesn't know for the time being." Tong Guan said, "I hope it's an old acquaintance, so it's easier to talk." ”

"Yes, this meeting is about heavy dà, and the last general's palm is holding a cold sweat." Wang Yu said, "I hope that the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin will bring good news." Even if we don't hand over the county and county pools to us, it's better not to provoke a war. Together, this war is a misery for all lives! ”

"Not really." Tong Guan furrowed his brows, as if he wanted to whisper something to Wang Yu, but he glanced at Wang Xun and Chu Tianya standing behind Wang Yu. Wang Xun was naturally familiar with him, but he stared at Chu Tianya for a few moments, then pointed at Chu Tianya and asked, "Zhengchen, this person is very faceless, who is it?" ”

"Hey, doesn't the prince recognize him?" Wang Yu pulled Chu Tianya to Tong Guan's side, and pretended to be curious, "He was an errand in the county king's mansion before!" ”

"I don't recognize it." Tong Guan looked Chu Tianya up and down, his expression was quite strict and vigilant.

Chu Tianya was secretly surprised: Is Tong Guan really a eunuch? He is not only tall and masculine, but even his voice is quite pure and full of temperament. It's all self-sufficient, I feel a little coerced when I stand in front of him, and his aura is not weak!

At this time, Wang Yu smiled and said, "Oh, the last general remembers." This person's name is Chu Tianya, and he was originally the military envoy in charge of the mule army in the backyard of the palace. A few days after he entered the palace, he was ordered to deliver horse feed to the last general. The last general's capital was short of manpower to feed the horses, so he was left behind. Thinking that he didn't stay in the palace for a few days, it was understandable that the prince didn't know him. ”

"Chu Tianya, Mule Army...... The king seemed to remember. At this time, Tong Guan's big copper bell eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes stared at Chu Tianya like a knife, "It's the little official in Taiyuan Prison City who was introduced by Ma Kuo, right?" ”

"Back to the prince's words, the last general, Chu Tianya, was originally the messenger in Taiyuan Prison City." Chu Tianya carefully hugged his fists.

Tong Guan frowned, staring at Chu Tianya with a look of surprise on his face, but said to Wang Yu in his mouth: "Zhengchen, this person has a strange way, how can he be your personal follower?" ”

"It's a strange way, isn't it?" Wang Yu was surprised, "He is a native of Taiyuan, and his family background has been found out clearly." Because he was clever, sensible, diligent and deferential, and cherished his talent for martial arts, he accepted him as a closed disciple and always stayed by his side. ”

"Oh? - Tong Guan let out a long sigh and looked at Chu Tianya with suspicion, seemingly unwilling to believe it at all.

"However, since the prince has doubts about this person, then the general will leave him behind!" After that, Wang Yu roared, "Come on, take him down!" ”

Several sergeants were about to rush forward to take Chu Tianya, Tong Guan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Hey, what are you doing!" If you are your disciple, you must be worthy of your trust! - Don't retreat yet! ”

Chu Tianya stood between Tong Guan and Wang Yu, and kept standing with his fists clenched. watched the two of them bluff and deceive, holding their breath and concentrating like a bell.

"Haha! Zhengchen, look, this kid's concentration is still good! Tong Guan suddenly laughed, "I can't say, you do have some vision for people, this kid may really be outstanding - it's just that you accepted a good righteous son last time, and this time you have accepted an extra apprentice." Curious, the king asked a few more questions. ”

As soon as Tong Guan said this, Wang Yu was very frightened, and hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed, "It's that the last general is not strict, and the family is ......unfortunate."

"Anyway, let him pass the past!" Tong Guan finally took his eyes off Chu Tianya, and said with a smile, "Now we just have to greet the envoys of the Jin Kingdom." ”

Chu Tianya was still standing with his fists clenched, and his heart had already been tumbling in a turbulent wave for a while, and then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: The time just now was really full of murderous dangers. Tong Guan's vision and mental skills are indeed very old and spicy, no wonder he can get into such a position today!

Suddenly, Tong Guan, who was standing two steps in front of Chu Tianya, made a move, and hit Chu Tianya's throat with one claw!

Everyone next to him, almost no one expected Tong Guan to suddenly make a move, and they all changed color in horror!

Chu Tianya was even more shocked!

Tong Guan's throat lock came suddenly, quickly and viciously, Chu Tianya was too late to retreat, and he blocked it with a punch out of instinctive reaction. Fortunately, he was not slow to react, and finally blocked it. Between the lightning and flint, Tong Guan immediately turned his claws into palms and slapped them between Chu Tianya's abdomen and chest, and used a black tiger to dig out his heart. Chu Tianya was in a hurry, his arms intersected, his elbows sank to the grid, and he stopped. Unbeknownst to him, Tong Guan's other hand immediately swung his fist and hit Chu Tianya's temple!

These three moves in a row are all poisonous and ruthless moves that kill people and kill people!

Wang Yu and Wang Xun, who were standing two steps behind Chu Tianya, were shocked and frightened, but they didn't dare to take action to save Chu Tianya.

Seeing that this punch was about to hit Chu Tianya's temple, it was certain death. In a hurry, Chu Tianya raised his elbow and used a "twisted elbow" in the red fist he had just learned, and the tip of the elbow hit Tong Guan's forearm, dissolving his blow!

"Red Fist!" Tong Guan Douran retracted his hands and cut his back, and looked at Chu Tianya with a straight face, "Have you practiced red boxing?!" ”

Chu Tianya secretly sighed, and quietly hugged his fists and said: "Back to the prince's words, the last general has practiced a few red fists, but he is not good at learning, and he is only an entry. ”

"Hmm......" Tong Guan stared at Chu Tianya and nodded slowly, "You have a bit of kung fu foundation, and your temperament and courage are okay, no wonder even Wang Dutong can take a fancy to you." ”

At this time, the father and son of the Wang family, who had already pinched a cold sweat, each breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Chu Tianya coped with it just now. If he is knocked down by Tong Guan's three moves, he will be a ghost who has been wronged, and no one will be able to avenge him!

"The prince praises falsely, and the last general will not dare to be." Chu Tianya replied.

"Huh!" Tong Guan laughed again, smiling heartily, and said, "Zhengchen, congratulations on accepting a good apprentice!" This kid is good, not bad! ”

Only then did Wang Yu dare to come forward, clasped his fists and bowed: "The prince is so excited today, and he has tried his martial arts with the bad guys." I think it's been many days since I tried to compete with the prince, so the prince is itchy, right? ”

"Haha, Zhengchen is right, this king is itching for a while!" Tong Guan laughed a few times as he walked down the stairs, and then slapped Chu Tianya on the shoulder, "Boy, didn't scare you, did you?" You are the beloved disciple of the minister, if you are frightened, this king can't afford to pay for it! ”

The prince laughed. can be personally ordered by the prince to order the martial arts, and the end will be flattered. Chu Tianya hurriedly replied with his fists clenched.

"Haha, look at this kid, he's quite good at oily and slippery - well, he's an official!" Tong Guan used a little bit of dark power, slapped Chu Tianya's shoulder three times in a row, and said, "Good life!" With the support of the royal capital, you have a bright future! ”

Tong Guan's hands are really heavy, and the strength of his palm is stronger than a thousand catties, Chu Tianya was almost about to be shot into internal injuries, but he could only stand up straight and hugged his fists and said: "The teacher is teaching, we and other soldiers have to rely on the prince's snort, but the prince is the horse's head!" ”

"Tsk! Zhengchen, your apprentice is really good at teaching, this king likes it! Tong Guan finally withdrew his hand and smiled, and called, "Come on, reward the treasure armor - today is the first time I have met with Zhengchen's beloved disciple, and I have to give a meeting gift!" ”

"Lord Wang is so polite!" Wang Yu and Chu Tianya thanked each other.

At this time, a military man came out with a wooden box, and Tong Guan said to Chu Tianya with a smile: "Take it!" The three treasures of the soldiers' soldier and horse armor, this king will reward you with a pair of gold-spine iron armor as a meeting gift today. As for weapons and horses, you'll have to earn them yourself! ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Chu Tianya took the armor box, and it felt quite heavy when he held it. But he was secretly scolding in his heart: This dead eunuch almost killed me just now, and immediately slapped me a few times, but now he is rewarding Bao Armor, this wrist is really tough and sleek and sophisticated, and the skill of the carrot and stick is perfect!

At this time, some of the nearby military schools all cast envious glances at Chu Tianya. Because, the average Song army soldier only wears the "step armor", just like the one that Chu Tianya is wearing now, which is made of leather cloth, and the defense is generally quite shabby. Generals with higher status can wear plain armor, bronze armor or ink patent leather armor. And the "gold-spine iron armor" is a kind of iron armor, which is the most valuable, and it has always been worn by high-class metropolitan colonels.

It can be seen that Tong Guan's reputation for "bold and generous" is true, and this meeting gift is called a treasure in the army.

"You put on this armor immediately, and together with your master, go out of the city with this king to meet the envoys of the Jin Kingdom!" Tong Guan was still smiling, and said to Wang Yu, "Since you are a person walking beside Wang Dutong, how can you wear a step armor?" Wouldn't that be a shame for the king, haha! ”

"The prince is really good at laughing, how can the last general have the prince's wealth, the guards around here are all first-class equipment!" Wang Yu replied with a smile, and then said to Chu Tianya, "Why don't you go and change your robe and armor quickly?" ”

"Brother Chu, I'll help you." Wang Xun responded enthusiastically, and then came up and patted Chu Tianya's shoulder, "This armor is not easy to change, let's go, I'll help you put it on!" ”

"Good ......" Chu Tianya really breathed a sigh of relief, and came to a barracks in the backyard of the palace with Wang Xun.

At this time, Chu Tianya's nerves finally relaxed, and he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. I covered it with my hand, and I was even more in pain. Then he said to Wang Xun: "Master Tong is too ruthless, these palms almost smashed my shoulders!" ”

"Tell me more! Brother Chu, do you know how dangerous you are today, and you almost lost your life?! Wang Xun exclaimed in a low voice, "Fortunately, you have coped with it, and my father and I have pinched a cold sweat for you!" ”

Chu Tianya smiled indifferently and said in a low voice: "Master Tong is really suspicious and cunning, and his martial arts are powerful. He just made a few random moves, and he almost killed me. It seems that it is really difficult to deal with! ”

"You just know?" Wang Xun said with a wry smile, "In terms of martial arts and resourcefulness, even my father has always been ashamed of being inferior to Master Tong, let alone us juniors." It seems that Ma Kuo's matter, Taishi is already suspicious of my father. In addition, you were introduced by Ma Kuo, but now you are so close to my father, the Taishi will inevitably have a lot of suspicion and suspicion of you! - Brother Chu, you have to be careful in the future! The people who are targeted by Master Tong are not having such a good time! ”

Chu Tianya smiled indifferently and said noncommittally, but said in his heart: It seems that Tong Guan has some ability-it's okay, if the opponent is too weak, I will feel that I can't win!
