Chapter 306: Part-time Horseman

In the inner courtyard of the Persian Guild, there are not so many people in normal times.

In fact, most of the time, it was a few cronies of the national teacher and merchants who traveled to and from the Northern Han Dynasty and the Western Regions to live.

The Northern Han Dynasty was probably the second and third weakest of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, only a little stronger than the Southern Han Dynasty.

Guangzhou, where the Southern Han Dynasty is located today, was a prosperous place, but at that time, the miasma was serious.

Specifically, there are many, many swamps and wetlands with many mosquitoes and insects, which are not suitable for human habitation.

But Taiyuan, where the Northern Han Dynasty is located, is an ancient human settlement, and it is also the land of Longxing in the Tang Dynasty, and Gaozu Li Yuan raised troops in Shanxi.

But in the Northern Han Dynasty, the hukou was about 10% in the Tang Dynasty, and the long-term war made it on the verge of bankruptcy.

The territory controlled by the Northern Han Dynasty is very small, so it can't levy too many taxes, a monthly salary of the prime minister of the Northern Han Dynasty, that is, about 100 yuan, and about 30 yuan, everyone is so poor that they can't open the pot, so naturally they can only drink the blood of the soldiers, and the soldiers will not starve, so they will naturally go to rob the people.

In fact, Liu Jiyuan, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, did not have a huge fortune - he had to use money to maintain the forbidden army, otherwise, the emperor might have to change people in minutes, and in addition, he had to buy off the Persian assassin group to create terror among the ministers.

Of course, there was also a sum of money that had to be given to the Khitans every year, otherwise, they would not have come to support the Northern Han when the Song army arrived.

The Northern Han Dynasty is so embarrassed internally and externally, but they are very proud, Liu Jiyuan said, Taiyuan Mansion Jinyang City, is "the city that does not fall".

There is also a little truth to his pride, theoretically, Liu Jiyuan defeated Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.

Jiedu made Li Jixun has been in the direction of the west of the mountain, Kaibao two years, he once besieged Taiyuan, the previous year's emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty was Liu Jun, was scared to death by the increasingly powerful Song army.

As soon as the ministers were combined, Liu Jun's adopted son Liu Jien was established, Liu Jien and the Song army were not conducive to confrontation, and the Northern Han Dynasty had another civil strife, and someone assassinated Liu Jien before Liu Jiyuan took the throne.

After Liu Jiyuan took the throne, Yang Ye happened to make progress on the front line, the first generation of Yang generals, directly defeated Zhao Kuangyin, who was personally conscripted, when the Song army was defeated, a lot of ordnance, grain and grass were not taken away, which made Liu Jiyuan suddenly make a small profit, and the domestic situation also eased.

However, Liu Jiyuan was vicious and tough-hearted, and he killed many disobedient courtiers, as well as his brothers and nephews, who might threaten the throne - the Persian Saqima and his assassin regiment supported him.

But today Liu Jiyuan is also in trouble, he has no son, only a sixteen-year-old daughter.

He regretted killing a little too quickly, if he left a nephew, he could also ensure that the throne was in the hands of his relatives, and now that he only has one daughter, he would have to choose a son-in-law well.

This is the reason why Liu Jiyuan decided to compete in martial arts to recruit relatives.

Xu Zongpu and Zhao Tiya only discovered these situations later. As soon as Zhao Tiya entered the inner courtyard, she asked the old lady of Persia how to go to see the national teacher, saying that there was news of her hometown to be communicated, but the old lady told her that the national teacher was busy today, and the princess wanted to see the candidates for the horse in this hall, and the national teacher would accompany her, even if you had news of your hometown in Persia, you would have to wait until tomorrow. Zhao Tiya thought about it, and had to wait, and the camera moved.

I never expected that after such a while, there was a fight in the front yard, and after a while, I saw that my husband Xu genealogy was led into the inner courtyard and into the meeting hall.

I came to discuss military affairs, if I was detained because of a fight, it would be a big joke, Zhao Tiya hurriedly hid her body and prepared to sneak into the council hall.

However, he said that Xu Zongpu was named Guo Pu, and when he entered the council hall, he saw two people inside, and he was in the position of a Persian old man, with deep eyes and bronzed skin, and he was a shrewd and skilled person at first glance, and it must be Zhao Tiya's grandfather Saqima.

There is a girl sitting at the bottom, with a thin melon seed face, black eyebrows and big eyes, dressed as a Han person, accompanied by a palace attendant, and she is expected to be a princess.

The maid Ah Qing, who brought Xu Zongpu in, saluted and told the princess.

"The guest who defeated General Xiao is here." A-Qing said.

Xu Zongpu realized that the giant man "Xiao Meili" turned out to be a general.

The princess looked at the Xu genealogy and looked up and down.

Size? Middle-upper, almost six feet, eyebrows, good, although not particularly handsome, but a ball of vigor, age, about twenty, suitable.

"What's your last name?"

"Grass people Guo Pu see Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"I asked you what your last name was, and I didn't ask you to say your name." Ah Qing reproached.

"Hey, it's good, it takes less effort to speak." The princess said.

Ah Qing's eyes are straight, usually the princess doesn't praise people like this.

"Where are you from?"

"The grass people are from Ezhou." Xu Zongpu said.

Xu Zongpu is talking about Sister Qiao's hometown, which is right, Chai Rong's hometown is Xingzhou, Hebei, and Xu Yongzhi's hometown is Linquan, Hunan, he is not familiar with these two places, but he is familiar with the customs and language of Ezhou.

"Oh, southerners, it's rare to grow so tall, who did you learn your stick from?" The princess said.

This sentence should be answered with special caution.

I learned it from my dad.

Who is your father?

It's a seller of strong pills in the village.

Doesn't make sense.

"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, I can't enter the eyes of the Fang family, but my teacher is still very famous, he is the head catcher of the third class of Kaifeng Mansion, Zhao Hu Zhao Old Man." Xu Zongpu said.

That's right.

There are traces of Bianliang on the body, and sooner or later they will be seen, so say it yourself.

"Zhao Hu," Saqima nodded, "That person's martial arts are good, but this light body kung fu is not Zhao Hu's, Zhao Hu is a stupid man, the gun and the outer door are excellent, you are the kung fu of Longhu Mountain." ”

The old man's eyes are so poisonous.

"Master Mingjian, my family has a small fortune, so I often associate with the Taoist master of Longhu Mountain, and I have learned some ways to swallow and lose weight, but I am not in the disciple's door wall." Xu Zongpu replied calmly.

"That's right, don't hide it, no one in the world can hide it from me." Saqima stared at Xu Zongpu.

This level is passed.

The princess looked at the Xu genealogy.

"The guy you defeated is the brother-in-law of the Khitan Emperor, the general under the King of the Khitan North Courtyard, and the person my father wants me to marry the most, and now you tear off his ear, although he is still alive, but he can't be a man, a person who has no ears, how to command a thousand troops, the soldiers will not obey him." The princess said.

"Shall I ...... Give him a hat, and besides, don't the Khitans all wear hats with fox tails on both sides? Xu Zongpu looked embarrassed.

The princess snorted and was amused by Xu Genealogy.

"You didn't understand what I meant, Guo Gongzi, I mean, you have offended my father, and now, he is the person who wants to kill you the most, and if you walk out of this house, your life will be gone." The princess said.

"It's so serious...... You Taiyuan Mansion want to be reasonable, it was Sister Aqing who asked me to beat Xiao Meimei. Xu Zongpu said.

"Xiao what?" The princess asked with a smile.

"Xiao Meimei...... He refused to use my first name, so I gave him a name, and he was called Xiao Meimei. Xu Zongpu said.

The people around him, including Ah Qing and Saqima, couldn't help but laugh.

"You are not allowed to tease me, now you have two choices: first, I will be with you, and you will fight all the way out to the city gate, until you are hacked to death......"

"I'll pick two." Xu's genealogy is righteous and awe-inspiring.

"Second, it is to go with me to see my father, be my concubine, and we will get married." The princess said.

"That's not going to work!" Xu Zongpu shouted.

"Come on, take a stick to Guo Gongzi and let him go out and fight with everyone......" The princess leaned into a chair and said in a big way.

Xu Zongpu was about to say something, when he suddenly saw that among the several Persian maidservants behind him, one of them had a flickering gaze, making eye contact with him.

Look at her hand again and wave it gently.

It's Zhao Tia, Zhao Tiya is letting herself agree first.

"I mean, this kind of marriage is a big event, how can you tell your parents......" Xu Zongpu quickly softened his tone.

"What, my father is the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, do your parents dare not agree?" The princess's tone was marked with three points of threat.

"Princess...... The form still has to go, you are a princess, that's right, I can bow down to you, this is my respect for the royal family, but if you want to marry into my family, that is the in-laws, you are me...... The daughter-in-law of the Guo family, if you can't recognize this matter, then I'll beat it out with a stick. Xu Zongpu said.

"Pony! Yours is it! The princess laughed, "Ah Qing, hurry up and prepare a room for the new nobleman, let him stay, and let those martial arts contests outside disperse, if anyone is not satisfied, don't use the horse to make a move, let our master teach him a lesson!" ”

Ah Qing agreed, and went out to bomb people.

"I'll go back to the palace to show my father, you wait!" The princess came over and shook Xu Zongpu's hand.

Xu Zongpu's heart was pounding, and he didn't know how to explain to Zhao Tiya for a while.

When the princess went out, Xu Zongpu was about to say goodbye to the national teacher, but he didn't expect Saqima to retreat directly.

"Let me tell the master of the horses," Saqima blasted everyone out.

Among a group of servants, the most reluctant is the one Zhao Tiya pretends.

"It's quiet now," said Saqima, picking up an orange and peeling it gently, "tell me what you've come to do." ”

"I ...... It's not ...... The competition recruits relatives ......," Xu Zongpu said.

"I'll talk about it later," Saqima stuffed a petal of orange into his mouth, "The stick is not your main weapon, Zhao Hu's gatekeeping kung fu is a single knife and iron teeth, and Longhu Mountain is a sword, if you don't bring the weapon you are good at to Taiyuan, how can you win the competition?" You don't know anything about recruiting relatives in martial arts, you say, what is your purpose. ”

You can't hide your head and tail from the masters.

Xu Zongpu thought.

Looking at those eagle-like eyes, Xu Zongpu lowered his head.

"I'm here...... Actually, it's looking for you. ”
