Huang Yongshi and the officials were very happy by the dogs, and then the emperor rewarded Tie Magnolia with an armor-breaking steel knife. As for the dog, because he did not have the name of the young disciple of the refining union, it was inconvenient to reward him, so he was given the title of a rich idler as a commoner of the empire. There is no need to pay taxes to enter and exit major cities, and more importantly, you can enter and exit at will when the city is banned, and you can pay 1000 silver coins a year.

After listening to the seal, Tie Yulan took the dog and retreated, and waited for Huang Lingshou in the corridor with Muhu.

Just when the dogs were bored waiting, Huang Yongshi's youngest daughter, the princess of the day, broke into front of the dogs. Since both of them are children, they talked about a piece in a few words. Both of them are children, and Tie Yulan doesn't care. In addition, the little princess's side is always entourage, serving, and maids, and for a while, the corridor hall is a little noisy and a little crowded.

When asked about the reward the dog received, the little princess found that the dog did not know money. So he asked Chang Sui Chunlan to take out a silver coin and a copper coin and give it to the dog, and put the two coins on the ground at the same time for the dog to choose. The dog looked left and right, and finally looked at Tie Magnolia, decisively picked up the copper coin, and looked like he had made a fortune.

Tie Yulan on the side was ashamed, eager to slap the dog down. You say you don't know the big and the small, forget it, what do you think I'm doing?

The dog took the money and put it in the purse in his arms. Looking at the little princess, does that mean there is still one?

The little princess rose, and all the maids took out two coins for the dog to choose. The dogs, without exception, all chose copper coins. Every time the dog chosen, the maids and the little princess laughed happily.

Because the movement here was too big, the emperor, Hu Shan, and Huang Lingshou were also alarmed. The emperor and his entourage also came over to see the excitement.

"Rich! Get rich! Anything else? The dog raced the copper coin into the money bag, and ignored the people around him who were already laughing and leaning back and forth, looking expectant.

"Yes, yes! This one? Husan put a gold and silver coin on the ground.

The dog looked at the gold coin and put it down, picked up the silver coin and looked at it, and then looked at the iron magnolia with some uncertainty.

Everyone also looked at Tie Magnolia.

Tie Yulan's whole person was like being burned by fire, and her face turned red all of a sudden, and then she quickly turned her face away from the dog.

The dog watched Tie Magnolia turn around and put the silver coin into the money bag with certainty.

Temagnolia listened to the laughter of the people laughing so fast that she knew what the damn dog had chosen. I can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

"Is there any, is there any?" The dog looked at everyone expectantly.

Huang Yongshi took a step forward and said with a smile, "Yes!" Yes! Then he looked at Chen Si. Chen Si understood, and hurriedly took out a gold coin and a silver coin.

"No, no, no! Amethyst! Huang Yongshi reminded Chen Si.

Chen Si put all three on the ground, and then glanced at the emperor. The emperor ignored Chen Si, and just watched the dog's choice with a group of people.

The dog looked at the three coins. didn't look at Tie Magnolia, and kicked Amethyst into the money bag without even thinking about it. A prickly mouth, that means to call it a day.

Good guys, 100 gold coins for Amethyst! I can get him to run! The dog muttered to himself.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they laughed at you and I saw you.

In the post station of the Military Aircraft Department, the dog counted money in bed.

Tie Magnolia is still blushing at the shame of the dogs in the palace. He pointed his finger at the dog who was counting the money, and said angrily, "You stupid!" Liu Qingshan gave you that much money! It's been a long time! You don't even know how many there are, alas! ”。

The dog didn't care about Tie Yulan, handed the seven copper coins and one silver coin he received today to Tie Yulan, played with the amethyst in his hand and said, "Know?" Knowing who will give you so much! Phew, these are for you! Or? ”。

Tie Yulan didn't expect the dog to be like this, and was stunned at first. Then he snatched the money out of the dog's hand and added, "Don't!" Don't be stupid! ”。

The money and materials given by the empire to the Red Mountain Army were allocated the day after Tie Yulan and they returned from the palace, and Tie Yulan took the dog to the Lying Military Department of the Treasury Division, and Shang Shuma Sihai personally received him. Tie Yulan stamped the Hongshan military seal on the text, took the silver ticket, exchanged a few words with Ma Sihai, and left the Qikusi. Before leaving, Ma Sihai personally sent it to the gate of the military headquarters.

Liu Qingshan received the silver ticket sent by Tie Yulan and them, and the business of the imperial auction was basically negotiated, paid the money, and hired a caravan to be pressed back to Hongshan by Zhan Mao and Wu Xiaoman first. He wanted to find his wife Ma Peixian in Kyoto alone.

Kyoto Tensui Bridge is very prosperous due to its proximity to Kyoto's gladiatorial arena. There are all kinds of shops, ticket numbers, workshops, guild halls, and many more. Most of Kyoto's folk craft workshops are located here.

Liu Qingshan walked on the Tianshui Bridge and saw a group of onlookers in front of him. Liu Qingshan squeezed in along the crowd and saw a woman kneeling in the street. There is a post in front of her, which means that she is a native of Nanya in the south of the empire, and due to the invasion of the Holy Capital Empire, the city of Good Hope where she and her husband are located has been conquered by the Holy Capital people, and her family and property have been emptied. I had no choice but to flee with my husband, who would have thought that Nanye, Guye Fluttering Tree, Suli, the three provinces met a group of strongmen, although the husband and wife fled for their lives, but the husband was also seriously injured. He died on the street on the day he came to the City of Bitter Saints.

She had no money or possessions on her during the flight. There is really no way, this time the street chief knelt down and begged for fate.

After reading the road post, Liu Qingshan saw a male corpse parked behind the woman. Although the woman's face is haggard and her clothes are worn in many places, she still has a faint demeanor from her kneeling posture, manners, and temperament. In the face of great changes, he is not servile, and he looks calm and calm.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Liu Qingshan thought of his wife Ma Peixian, and he didn't know if it was a curse or a blessing now? In this troubled world, it is not easy for a woman to think about it.

Walking to the front of the woman and putting the two gold coins on the road sticker, Liu Qingshan was about to turn around and leave.

"General, please leave a big name!" A flat voice, without the slightest emotion.

Liu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, I am not wearing a military uniform, how can the other party know that I am from the army?

As if she had seen through Liu Qingshan's thoughts, the woman still said plainly, "The general's headband has helmet marks, a helmet crown in front of his ears, a crown mark and cheeks, and he is also a heavy general before he wants to come to the army!" ”。

"A small effort, not enough to worry about!" Liu Qingshan was relieved.

"Please leave your name, General!" There is more resoluteness in the blandness.

Liu Qingshan originally saw that the other party was a woman, and when he thought of his wife, he felt compassion, and reached out to help him, asking for peace of mind. Now I look serious, I wanted to report my name, but I turned my head and thought about it, there are many people on the street, who dares to ensure that there are no official guards, fast arrests, or something in this crowd. The second time he came to Kyoto, he thinned the emperor's face and stole the land. If the emperor knew about it, it would not be an exaggeration to condemn him as a bully. Just when Liu Qingshan was in a dilemma.

The woman spoke again and said, "I know that the general is in trouble, the woman buried her deceased husband first, and she will wait at this water bridge tomorrow, and the general will definitely come, otherwise the woman will wait until the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten." ”

Liu Qingshan called the other party 10,000, and then turned around and squeezed out of the crowd. The woman also began to put away the road stickers, and the onlookers gradually dispersed.

Five days later, the Imperial Military Department loaded the fine iron into the car, Tie Magnolia checked the number, and the Military Department specially sent a team of men and horses to escort to Red Mountain. Dogs, their business in Kyoto is also basic.

That afternoon, Liu Qingshan went to the Imperial Gladiatorial Arena. He told the dog that he would leave the Bitter Holy City tomorrow, and when he was leaving, Liu Qingshan wanted to come to the gladiatorial arena to have a look.

The gladiatorial arena is very familiar to Liu Qingshan, and he often comes to the gladiatorial arena when he is studying. Others came to see the excitement, but he came to the gladiatorial arena to beg for some life because he was shy in his pocket.

There is a fee to enter the arena to watch the gladiators wrestle, one copper coin per person. The gladiatorial arena in the Bitter Holy City was the only gladiatorial arena for Huang Yao.

There are two kinds of fighters, one is the fighter who is already in the gladiatorial arena, and the other is the spectator in the stands.

Spectators participating in gladiatorial fights, whether they win or lose, will be given a certain amount of remuneration, and of course more will be given if they win. Permission to participate in the Colosseum must be obtained. You can't challenge a fighter who is one level higher. Gladiatorial fighting is divided into life and death fighting, and life fighting is not to deliberately hurt people's lives, that is, when the opponent admits defeat or is unable to fight back. The winner is not allowed to take human life. Deathmatch is not won until the opponent is killed.

There is a special betting platform in the arena, and every spectator can bet, and the fighter himself cannot bet.

Liu Qingshan looked at the noisy hall and casually found a place to sit down.

He hadn't been to the gladiatorial arena for more than 10 years, and he almost didn't know anyone except the referee in the ring. The previous gladiators seem to have almost all died. It's hard for gladiatorial fighters in the arena to survive, no matter how good you are. Not to mention the people who join every day, even the spectators are also very powerful. Among them, there are also some professional hard-hitting spectators. These people are actually the protagonists of the gladiatorial arena. Every day in the stands, I watch the same level of fighters wrestling, and when they see you through, they will challenge you, and they challenge how many people in the arena are beaten, or death matches! Deathmatch bounty is high. This group of people has any realms below the Yuan Qi realm. Sometimes there are one or two great ones in the arena. It's only half a year at most, and there are always people who figure you out.

It's still so red, the referee's voice is still so yin and yang, the people in the stands are still shouting, shouting, saying this, and the tent in the betting office is still the old man with his eyes on his nose. But Liu Qingshan lost the passion he had back then. He knew that the world in front of him, although close in front of him, was getting farther and farther away from him.

In the VIP room of the Colosseum, Hu Shan sat in front of the crystal glass, and she could barely remember the boy who lent her shoulder. I remember that it was when she was 16 years old, and at that time she especially liked to come to the gladiatorial arena to watch gladiatorial fights, the power of people dying and erupting, the fighters full of force collisions, and the unpredictable accidents in the fight, which made her deeply fascinated. I often sneak up on a person to come and see.

Once, a fighter on the stage was playing the last match he had signed with the arena. Jumped out of the ring with joy. The fighter came to the arena to pay for his sick grandfather's medicine. Almost everyone who comes to the arena knows it, so their luck has always been good, winning all 20 games. But just as the fighter was about to leave, a spectator challenged him. Originally, the fighter could refuse, but the referee in the arena didn't know what to say to the fighter, so the fighter signed a gladiatorial fight with the other party. Raw buckets.

Hu Shan couldn't forget the young fighter, who fell in a pool of blood in the ring and struggled to die, took out all the copper coins and pointed in the direction of his house. At first people didn't know what he meant, but when they understood, there was crying in the stands.

Hu Shan's side happened to have a shoulder, very wide, so safe, her tears and snot flowed all over the world. When he finished crying, the man patted her gently to show comfort, and she still has not forgotten that action, like the wind and fire, like the spring breeze that blows away the green willows in spring, like the wildfire that burns away the haze in summer.

The other party is also a teenager, a calm teenager, gently wiped away her tears, the temperature of that hand she still remembers, and then, just when the challenger was about to leave, the young man challenged the opponent's Yuanli level 6 with a Yuanli level 2 cultivation.

The gladiatorial arena boiled, the people boiled, and so did Hussan.

After being knocked down an unknown number of times, the boy ended his life as a challenger with his teeth. The blood spurting out of the throat, the old high, the old high, the gladiatorial arena was silent.

Judging from the uniform underwear that appeared in the boy's clothes, it should be a student of the Imperial Military Academy. For many years, the boy had not been to the gladiatorial arena again, although she had been waiting.

But today Hu Shan saw that figure, taller than before, with a little beard, and the whole person seemed to be very tired. Sit on one of the chairs in the colosseum closest to the hallway.

I don't know what kind of emotion it is, Hu Shan suddenly felt sour for no reason, and tears flowed out inadvertently, like a small river.

It's been many years since I shed a tear, from killing my husband with my own hands, and from being the treasurer of the empire for many years. Can you still cry seriously by this other person's arm like before! It turns out that having a shoulder to cry and touch is such happiness!

Liu Qingshan remembered the young fighter who fell in the ring for his grandfather's medicine, that is, he never came after that time. Some of the past flashed in my mind like a movie. Slowly, all turned into a blurred face of his wife, Ma Peixian. Where exactly are you guys? When else do I need to find it?

Liu Qingshan stood up and straightened his clothes. Walk out of the gladiatorial arena.

Hu Shan watched Liu Qingshan disappear at the door of the gladiatorial arena by the crystal glass. Do you know that this world has me? Who are you? Can you still see it? Take care! Tears rained down.
