All the way alone, walking for three days, unconsciously arrived in Longzhou, saw the city gate hanging the word "Longzhou" two word plaque, Tang Yifeng shook his head and smiled bitterly, looked at the shabby clothes he was wearing, and gently touched the hungry lower abdomen, and then looked at the prosperous Longzhou City, thinking of what the master said to himself before he died, his heart was already mixed.

When entering the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city did not inquire and investigate Tang Yifeng, and the old eyes of these soldiers could determine at a glance that Tang Yifeng was just a down-and-out scholar. Passing through the ten-meter-long city gate full of guards, Tang Yifeng sighed, this Longzhou is a big city after all, although his Zhulin County is not far from Longzhou, it is very backward, and the city gate of the county seat has long been decayed, how can there be any guards. Looking at this Longzhou City today, I feel that the momentum of this corner of the city gate alone is not weaker than the capital.

Walking on the streets of Longzhou, although it is noon, when everyone takes a lunch break, it is also bustling, full of people, and extremely prosperous. Tang Yifeng touched the money bag, and there were only more than ten copper plates left in it. After walking all over the streets and alleys, the only things I thought I could buy were steamed buns and baked cakes. In the end, Tang Yifeng chose a steamed bun restaurant, and the reason why he chose a steamed bun restaurant was only because the steamed bun restaurant provided tables and chairs, but the baked cake shop did not. Walking was so tired that he just wanted a little rest.

At noon, the owner of the steamed bun seller looked at Tang Yifeng and smiled: "It's noon?

Tang Yifeng glanced at a wooden board at the feet of the short and fat boss, on which was written two pennies, took out the money bag, and counted carefully, a full twelve copper coins. sighed softly and said: "Boss, I also know that the buns are early, but I am passing by here, and it is already this point in this Longzhou City, and I am reluctant to move when I smell the rich aroma of your buns." Let's six!" Tang Yifeng gave all the remaining copper coins to the short and fat boss at one time. The boss smiled and said: "It turns out that the son is not a local, I still have thirteen buns left, and no one will eat them at the moment, so I will simply give it all to you, and only charge you twelve cents." ”

Tang Yifeng was overjoyed, at this moment it was the time of hunger and cold, the autumn wind was swaying, seeing that it was going to snow at any time, he was worried about eating, this boss Bodhisattva heart, gave himself seven more buns, and this bun is big, eat three or five can be full, his heart is extremely grateful, immediately bowed to the short and fat boss, and said with a smile: "Thank you for this big brother, the little brother goes out with not much money, and he will have the opportunity to go back to your store to spend more in the future." ”

The short and fat boss presented Tang Yifeng with two large plates of steamed buns, and said with a smile: "You little brother is not poor, I have been doing business on the side of this street for 30 years, what kind of person has what kind of heart, I can see at a glance, son, you are only afraid that you will not be in the pool in the future, and it is just a golden dragon diving tour at the moment." I don't know what the son is doing when he comes to Longzhou?"

Tang Yifeng took a bite of the hot mushroom vegetarian meat bun, and his heart was full of joy, and when he heard the inquiry of the short and fat boss, he said with a smile: "In Longzhou, I came to see the prefect here!"

When the short and fat boss heard this, he smiled and said: "Sure enough, as I expected, the son's bearing is extraordinary, he must have read poetry and books, and he has real learning in his belly." Today's court, just like that, you and I know it in our hearts. Many young talents don't want to live up to their talents, and they will come to our Longzhou as the prefect's doorman. It's not that I said, our prefect Lord Zhao is really a good official, and now he dares to speak the truth in the court and can protect the people, and there are only those big families. ”

"I heard that Lord Zhao's family is three brothers, his eldest brother is a frontier general, leading 100,000 male soldiers, and his own internal cultivation is said to have already reached the Mahayana realm, and the second brother of Lord Zhao is a famous rich businessman, with thousands of dollars and strong financial resources, only under the Chu family. Lord Zhao's own martial arts are not high, but he is the most intelligent, with more than 1,000 disciples under his command, many of whom are martial arts masters and shrewd calculators. Although Lord Zhao is currently only a small five-rank prefect, the imperial court does not dare to provoke him. ”

As soon as the short and fat boss of the bun shop mentioned this Lord Zhao, he suddenly came to his senses, and he became excited for a while. When Tang Yifeng heard this, he was also interested, and after eating a big bun, he said: "Big brother, no wonder, no wonder, as soon as I came to Longzhou, I found that this place is really different from other places, this place is really a bit of a paradise, other places are full of gunsmoke, the city is chaotic, and when I get here, I only feel that the prosperity is no worse than the capital, I don't know what the name of this Lord Zhao is." ”

When the short and fat boss heard Tang Yifeng's praise for Longzhou City and Governor Zhao, a sense of pride also arose in his heart, and he said: "This Lord Zhao's name is Zhao Qingshi, that is really a good person, and if the person is as his name, Lord Zhao will be able to leave a name in history in the future, and it will be eternal." Tang Yifeng muttered to himself: "Zhao Qingshi, it's really a good name." There is a mean hidden in the name, which not only motivates me to be motivated, but also reassures the imperial court. Who can leave a name in history, who is a great rebel, and the following people are in trouble?"

The short and fat boss was in a state of excitement, seeing Tang Yifeng muttering to himself, and asked with a smile: "What is the son talking to himself?" Tang Yifeng smiled: "Dare to ask the eldest brother, I don't know where Lord Zhao's mansion is?" Tang Yifeng nodded and said, "Brother Lao helps me pack the remaining buns." The younger brother took his leave first. ”

The short and fat boss turned around and took two pieces of oiled paper, skillfully wrapped the remaining eight buns into two, and then tied them into a stack with string and handed them to Tang Yifeng. Tang Yifeng bowed to the short and fat boss again, thanked him and left the bun shop. As the boss said, after walking five miles, I saw a large mansion standing in front of me across the street, the wall of the house was ten meters high, nearly a mile long, and the most shocking thing was that the wall was three meters wide, and people could stand. Every ten meters, a guard stood on top of the fence.

Just looking at the "city wall" of this house, Tang Yifeng was envious in his heart, he had been wandering with his master all his life, when would he be able to have such a magnificent mansion of his own?

When I walked near the main gate, I saw the word Zhao Mansion and found that the door of the mansion was open, and there were eight guards standing at the door. Tang Yifeng stepped forward and walked a few steps, and one of the guards pulled out a steel knife three inches, and said, "Who is coming?" Tang Yifeng was startled, and hurriedly said: "In Xia Tang Yifeng, he is a disciple of Gongsun Bo, and he came to visit Mr. Zhao Gongming." ”

Hearing this, the guard looked at Tang Yifeng again, and said: "The old man has already driven to the west three years ago, what are you looking for the old man?" Tang Yifeng's face was slightly red, and he said: "It was the master who ordered me to come, and the old man is really sad to go west, I don't know if Lord Qingshi can be?" The guard said: "My master is indeed in the mansion today, but our Zhao family never accepts gifts, what are you holding in your hand?"

Tang Yifeng said with a smile: "It's the bun that I haven't eaten yet, it's a pity to throw it away, it's better to store it here with the eldest brother first?" ”

The guard nodded and said, "Give me the buns, put them in the concierge first, and wait for me to inform the master, you will wait." After dozens of minutes, the guard found a middle-aged man in a white robe, this man was Zhao Lu, the master of the Zhao Mansion, and after hearing the guard mention the word Gongsun Bo, he hurriedly ran towards the martial arts arena in the mansion.

Today, in the martial arts arena of the Zhao Mansion, it was not lively, and there were thousands of people around, many of whom were guests in the Zhao Mansion, and the master Zhao Lu ran in front of a slightly chubby man and whispered: "Master, the disciple of Gongsun Bo asks to see." The chubby man pondered for a moment, stroked his beard, and said, "Zhao Lu, what do you think is the matter?"

Zhao Lu knew his master's concerns, and said in a low voice: "Gongsun Bo has always been upright, and he has resigned and returned to his hometown for more than eighteen years, and I can't guess what he sent his disciples to do." But Gongsun Bo and the old lady are good friends, the old lady often said that he and Gongsun Bo are people who wear a pair of pants, Gongsun Bo's disciples, must have inherited what Gongsun Bo has learned in his life, and maybe he also knows some secrets. If you are desperate and want to join us, it is worth soliciting. ”

The slightly chubby man was Zhao Qingshi, he thought for a moment, and felt that there was nothing wrong, and said, "In this case, you can bring him here!" Master Zhao Lu nodded and hurriedly left here. Tang Yifeng waited at the door for half an hour, only to see a man in white coming to him with a smile, and said: "Brother Tang, I've been waiting for a long time!

Tang Yifeng hurriedly returned the salute, and then followed Zhao Lu's side, and walked for about seven or eight minutes before arriving at the Zhao Mansion martial arts arena. Seeing that the martial arts arena was full of people, it was so lively, Tang Yifeng swept it with his eyes and found that this martial arts arena was 500 meters long and 300 meters wide, which was indeed huge.

Then Tang Yifeng's afterglow swept over the faces of everyone on the martial arts arena, and the faces of thousands of people were all remembered by Tang Yifeng, and the whole process was only a few seconds. Tang Yifeng said to himself in his heart: "These more than 1,000 people must be the doormen of the Zhao Mansion, but nearly 100 of the more than 1,000 people are not a good thing, I will take a good look at this Zhao Governor's Mansion later." ”

The master looked at Tang Yifeng stunned, and said, "Tang Gongzi, the master is waiting in the stands, let's hurry up!" Tang Yifeng nodded and walked towards the stands, although it was extremely far away from the stands, Tang Yifeng's eyesight was extremely good. It can be seen from afar that the chubby man in the center has a little majesty and old spiciness, it must be Zhao Qingshi, the master of the Zhao Mansion. Zhao Qingshi saw Tang Yifeng approaching, and said with a smile: "Tang Gongzi, I haven't greeted you from afar, and I hope to forgive my sins!

Tang Yifeng walked closer and glanced at Zhao Qingshi, and said to himself in his heart: "Sure enough, as I expected, this person is Zhao Qingshi, his temperament can't see good or bad, he does things too tactfully, and the city is a little deep! Hearing Zhao Qingshi's inquiry, Tang Yifeng hurriedly smiled and said: "I'm tired of Lord Zhao's worries, my mentor Sun Bo has passed away." ”
