Many rules in the capital have been changed now, it is illegal to fight on the street, and it is also illegal to fight in crowded places, so Chen Letian only asked Xiao Er to close the door before. Those ruffians are generally difficult to understand by reasoning alone, and I am afraid that this fight cannot be avoided. The law stipulates that fights and brawls can only be done in private homes or in the suburbs.

Chen Letian shook his head helplessly and said, "Zhang San, have you heard of Li Jiajun?"

Hei Zhang San was confused and said: "Of course I have heard, my brother is on an errand in the Li family army, what's the matter? I heard that you also went to join the army, could it be that your little doll is also on an errand in the Li family army?"

Chen Letian turned his head to look at the old shopkeeper, who shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Didn't you let me tell others?"

Chen Letian understood, arched his hand to Hei Zhangsan, and said, "It is the commander of the forward battalion of the Li Jiajun below." Forget it, what do you think?"

Hei Zhang San laughed: "Brothers, even ignorant little dolls are accepted in the Li Family's army? Is that still the Li Family's army? I think you are afraid that you are joining the doll army." ”

Chen Letian was very helpless, why didn't the ruffians in the capital grow at all, didn't they inquire before buying the inn, this was just a small captain who met him, if he met a captain, it would only be a matter of three or five days to turn over their nest: "Since you don't believe it, let's beat it first!"

After all, Chen Letian raised his fist and went to Hei Zhang San's nose, Hei Zhang San didn't expect Chen Letian to say that he would do it, after all, since the new decree was promulgated in the capital, they haven't had a sudden fight for a long time, everyone sits down to talk first, and then makes an appointment for a fight that is not salty or light. This time, Hei Zhang San was miserable, he lost three teeth at once, his nose was crooked, and his face was covered with blood and he was pressed to the ground by Chen Letian and beaten seven or eight times, and he was already unconscious. From the time Hei Zhang San finished speaking to the time he fainted, only seven or eight breaths had passed, and the ruffians around him hadn't reacted at all.

Chen Letian didn't even breathe, exhaled lightly, stood up, and said secretly in his heart: The military boxing method is only for practicality, and the general will not deceive me.

After half a pillar of incense, Chen Letian successfully dealt with the remaining ruffians, then opened the door and let them help each other out of the inn.

Shopkeeper Liu took Chen Letian's hand comfortingly, and said with a smile: "Lotte's skills are so good now, it's really ......" I don't know what to say, Shopkeeper Liu just held Chen Letian's hand tightly, just like the day Chen Letian left his hometown to join the army, but he was worried at the beginning, but today he is happy to see that his students have grown up.

Chen Letian looked at the old shopkeeper ------ his teacher.

Looking at the old gentleman's shriveled and wrinkled old face, at this moment, Chen Letian's eyes were red, and he held his hands on the number of books that had taught him to shoot the imperial book, and told him that a good man was ambitious in all directions, and he had beaten his palms countless times, in order to clean up a person who bullied Chen Letian, he was an old man with a sixtieth year old and an old gentleman who was thirty years old, and said: "Sir, thank you for your hard work." ”

"It's not hard, Le Tian is hard, have you eaten?" The old gentleman named Liu Lisheng was full of relief, and Chen Letian smiled: "Sir, I'm hungry, bring me a bowl of noodles." ”

"Okay, is it the same as usual?" asked Liu Lisheng as he turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

"Of course, an egg and a handful of chopped green onions. Chen Lotian found a table and sat down, lowered his head and played with the teacup in his hand, and replied.

An old man and a young man seemed to have a relaxed tone, but they burst into tears after turning around.

After eating a large bowl of noodles, Chen Letian was still unfinished, and said, "Sir, what is going on with that matter?"

Shopkeeper Liu sighed and said: "Who knows, the leader of the White Tiger Gang in the eastern suburbs seems to have taken a fancy to our inn, saying that he wanted to open a green building here, and came to me in three months, saying that he wanted to buy this land, of course I don't agree, what about them, they sent some small ruffians to sit in the store every once in a while, disturbing our business, if it weren't for the child watching Zishu, they could come every day, alas......"

Chen Letian was puzzled: "Zishu dares to argue with them?"

Shopkeeper Liu said: "Zishu is now the catcher of Tianhefang, although he is not an official, but he is also a member of the public family, and the people of the White Tiger Gang dare not offend him too much." So this thing dragged on, today for some reason, they came to the store early in the morning to sit, after Zishu heard about it, they came once at noon, and they dispersed, but I didn't expect Zishu to leave, and they came again in the afternoon, if it wasn't for you coming back, I guess they would have to smash the store. ”

Chen Letian thought for a while and said, "Sir, don't worry, I can settle this matter, and I will go to the General's Mansion in a few days." ”

Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly said: "It's not good to trouble the general for this little thing." ”

Chen Letian said with a smile: "If the trouble is not to the general, I can solve it by finding the housekeeper of the General's Mansion, you can be honest." ”

This night, Chen Letian slept very well in his bed after five years.

He woke up early the next day, got out of bed and went to the window, and pushed it open, and it was still dark outside, and a moment later there was a glimmer of dawn in the east. He took a deep breath, tilted his head slightly, and smiled at the glimmer of sky.

After playing a set of boxing in the yard, he felt that it was not enough, and practiced a set of Li family guns, and only then did he sweat a little. Sit down on a stone bench and adjust your breathing a little faster. After five years of military life, in Li Jiajun's barracks, he was used to the days of high-intensity training. Of the 365 days a year, it is estimated that 200 days are spent fighting or on the way to the battlefield, and there are 165 days left, and more than 100 days are spent training, and the rest period of the whole year will not exceed one month. So when he came back this time, he suddenly didn't have to tighten himself every day, he felt very unaccustomed, and he didn't know if he would become a fat man after a while.

The sun gradually rose in the east, and the dew on the grass and trees in the courtyard had not yet begun to dissipate, and Chen Letian's teacher Liu Lisheng also got up at this time and walked in the courtyard with his hands on his back. The old scholar's gray temples seemed to flash a few times in the morning sun, and when he saw Chen Letian, he smiled at first, and then smiled, and said: "The six arts of the gentleman, the number of imperial books is shot by Lile, what is the explanation?"

Chen Letian stood up, bowed his head slightly, and didn't think much, so he replied respectfully: "The six arts of a gentleman, cultivate one's own body, and defend the family and country." ”

"After five years in the army, how many people have been killed?"

"Kill the rebels of the King of Huainan, ten people. The Western Liang Army, 53 people, the Wei Army 78 people, the Northern Liang Army 64 people, and the Western Regions Eighteen National Army 106 people. ”

"Which battle was the hardest?"

"The first battle of Leyouyuan was the most difficult, and there were no less than 100 battles between the students, only the rebels of King Huainan were on par with our army, and the rest were vulnerable. ”

"Oh, King Huainan is a good man, from ancient times to the present, no one can match. ”

"Students don't understand!"

"There are some things that you will understand later. ”

Chen Letian was thoughtful, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Is the rebellion of the King of Huainan related to the cutting of the domain?"

The old Confucian showed surprise in his eyes, looked at Chen Letian, nodded and said, "You can see the secret, it's very good." How about General Li Rongsheng, who is in the limelight now?"

Chen Letian raised his head and said, "The student doesn't dare to put his beak. ”

The old Confucian shook his head helplessly and sighed: "In the future, this world will be yours, I just hope that no matter what you do in the future, you will not forget your original intention." ”

Chen Letian nodded solemnly: "Yes, the student remembers it in mind." ”

After breakfast, Chen Letian went out to the General's Mansion.

"Chen Letian?" As soon as he walked on the street, someone patted Chen Letian from behind.

Chen Letian turned his head and saw that the other party was wearing a red brocade robe, shaking a folding fan, alone, sweating profusely, and there were several shoe prints on the red cloak. Skimming off the unsightly shoe prints, it really has a bit of a gentleman's taste. Without thinking too much, Chen Letian immediately recognized the other party: "Qin Tieniu?"

After saying that, the two hugged vigorously, and Chen Letian said suspiciously: "Brother Tieniu, you are ......"

Before Qin Tieniu could answer, he saw a few strong men who looked like family members not far away, shouting: "Qin boy, don't run!"

Qin Tieniu immediately wilted, couldn't run anymore, hid behind Chen Letian, and whispered: "Lotte save me, I just stole their beautiful clothes, and they are going to send me to the yamen." ”

Chen Letian nodded and said softly, "It's okay, don't be afraid." ”

Taking a diagonal step, Chen Letian stretched out his hand to stop the visitor, and arched his hand: "May I ask which brother is in the old man's mansion?"

Among them, the strong man who took the lead looked at Chen Letian, returned a salute, and said: "We are from General Li's mansion, this kid entered the mansion to steal things, and was discovered by us, and was about to be arrested and sent to the yamen. ”

Chen Letian shook his head and said: "Qin Tieniu is my hair, everyone is a neighbor, just steal a few clothes, I will give you how much silver, so you don't have to send it to the yamen." ”

The strong man laughed: "This son is really righteous, but the word is the first, I think the son should not interfere, this Qin Tieniu is just sent to the yamen for a few months, and there is no worry about his life." ”

Chen Letian nodded, as if he thought so, but he rolled up his sleeves and said, "Then let's talk about it!"

The strong man said with a look of surprise on his face: "When there was a fight on the street, I said this son, are you a foreigner? If this is discovered by the government, we will all have to go to the yamen for a few months." ”

Chen Letian looked confused, but said in his heart, of course I know that I can't fight on the street, fight with you people raised by the General's Mansion, am I looking for death?

With a sudden expression of realization on his face, he took out the name card in his arms and handed it to the other party: "This old man, under Chen Letian, is the commander of the army under the general, and he wants to visit." ”

The strong man took the name post, looked at it repeatedly, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said respectfully: "It turned out to be Chen Gongzi, the master has already instructed my second master to wait for you at home, please..."

Since he is an elite soldier under Li Rongsheng, the hottest general of the Great Song Dynasty today, Qin Tieniu's stealing clothes is naturally ignored.

In addition to the four vassal kings of the dynasty, there are three generals, forming seven major military systems, and after the rebellion of the king of Huainan, the military power of the four vassal kings has been weakened in name only. The real mainstay of the dynasty are the three generals, and the most popular in recent years is undoubtedly the Li family army led by Li Rongsheng, Marquis of Dingnan.

The grandeur of General Li's Mansion is not Chen Letian's expectation, it is not so magnificent, after entering, look east and west, Chen Letian finally understood what the general said, "My family is very big", the dignified General's Mansion, compared with the rich and noble families in the general place, is nothing more than twice the size of the house, this is still the land given by the saint, can not be shrunk, otherwise with the character of the general, two acres of land is enough.

Under the leadership of Jia Ding, Chen Letian came to the main hall.

A young man in a brown robe was drinking tea next to the desk, and when he saw Chen Letian, he put down the teacup, stood up, and arched his hand: "Brother Chen, I am glad to meet you." ”

Chen Letian heard the general mention of his sworn brother, Li Tong, who has no blood relationship with the general Li Rongsheng, just because he was a childhood friend with the general, and later, the general was fighting abroad all the year round, and the family needed a principal, and this friend tried his best to recommend himself, so the general let him sit in the general's mansion, and it was only two or three years since this person took over the general's mansion.

The two exchanged a few words, and as soon as they sat down, a family member hurriedly walked in. Seeing that there were guests, the family wanted to speak and stopped. Seeing this, Chen Letian arched his hand and said, 'I'll go to the thatched house', and went to the courtyard.

"What's the matter?" asked Li Tong.

Jia Ding replied: "Second master, I just got the news that the White Tiger Gang in the northern suburbs has been forcibly requisitioning Zhouzhuang's land in recent months, and the methods used are very bad, and people have been detained, beaten, and even killed......

"Report to the second master, the general has a letter. Then another servant hurried in and presented a letter.

Li Tong took the letter, tore open the sealed wax, and there were only a few lines in the letter: Zhao Hu, the leader of the White Tiger Gang, has been bought by the spies of the Wei State, and it is unknown whether Guo Yongchun, the backstage servant, is implicated, so check quickly!"

After looking at it, a trace of fierceness flashed in Li Tong's eyes, and said: "You continue to investigate, not only the White Tiger Gang, but also Guo Yongchun, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, three days later, I want the whereabouts of the servant of the Ministry of Officials every day for half a year, and even how many times he goes to the thatched house a day must be clear." ”

"Yes!" the two men left.

Chen Letian saw the two leaving, so he walked in again and said, "Brother Li has something to do, so I'll leave first." ”

"Well, no. Li Tong nodded, looked at the back of Chen Letian who turned to leave, and suddenly remembered what the general had told him, 'Chen Letian, you can believe it', hesitated, and called Chen Letian again: "Brother Chen, are you willing to go with me to see an unpleasant thing?"

Chen Letian did not hesitate and nodded in agreement.
