The light rain poured down like a fog, hazy and lingering, falling like a thread to the land of Tokyo.

At this moment, the scene was gloomy and bleak, just like Yang Zhi's mood, he wore a Fan Yang hat with a red tassel and a white satin shirt with a collar, and walked on the streets of the outer city of Tokyo in despair.

There were not many people on the streets, and the light rain was falling, and I could occasionally see the silk umbrella smeared with tung oil moving quietly in the rain.

He didn't have an umbrella, not even the cheapest green paper umbrella, and let the light rain pour on his thin clothes, but it was soaked and cold.

The glory of the ancestors has long been swayed to the end, but where can I talk about the difficulties of today's people, even if I have all kinds of talents and ambitions, who will I talk to?

The sky is getting darker and darker, Yang Zhi lightly pressed the sword on his waist, the ban on Tokyo City has been opened in the past two days, and the blade is loose, although the standard gun and crossbow are still impossible, but wearing this is a family heirloom at a glance, but no one cares about it.

He walked along the street, but he didn't know where he was going, Hua Shigang's boat capsized, should he go back to the temple to confess? To go back, or not to go back, this is a difficult question.

He had been walking on the streets of the outer city for a day, but he had never had an answer, and when he reached the inner gate several times, he had already opened his legs, but for some reason he shrank back.

The people of the Yang family are not afraid of death, Hua Shigang is sunk in the Yellow River, even if he is guilty of one more crime, he will not die, but he just doesn't want to go back to accept the crime.

Thinking about this life, listening to the deeds of his ancestors since he was a child, growing up practicing the martial arts of his family, he also hated his grandfather who committed a crime, and even the collapse of the Yang family building in the northwest, but he never complained about the court, his lifelong ambition is to serve the country loyally!

The rain slid in from his neck, and then flowed out from his cuffs, legs, and feet, his steps became heavier and heavier, and his heart began to resent, his family was not established, but he was charged with a crime, did he have to go back to Linzhou to borrow money from his sister-in-law?

He has been away from Linzhou for ten years, and he has the face to meet his father in Hedong!

At the end, he looked up and saw a shabby apricot yellow flag stretched in the rain curtain in front of him, and he couldn't help rolling his throat, touching his arms, and after a slight pause, he gritted his teeth and walked in.

The wine shop was dim, Yang Zhi found a table to sit on, took off Fan Yangli, and put it on the table, but when he saw that no one came to greet him, he couldn't help but slap the table and said, "Wu Na Xiaoer, don't be lazy, don't come to say hello!" ”

Xiao Er hid in the corner and went to bed early in the dark, where could he get any guests on this rainy day, stealing half a day's leisure, it was the greatest happiness.

Hearing the sound of slapping the table, but it dispersed his happiness, Xiao Er was so frightened that he jumped up, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and shouted: "What do you shout, I can't see this big living person here, whoever is lazy, don't be framed." ”

Yang Zhi said angrily: "Where do you have a lot of words, greeting you is, no matter how much you talk, don't blame the sprinkler for being polite!" ”

After that, he took off the treasure knife on his waist and slammed it to the table, and suddenly there was a "clanging" sound, the little two shrunk his neck, but he didn't spare it: "Objectively, don't be annoyed and intimidated, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven, the capital of Gyeonggi, but where did the guest officer come to walk around from other places?" You can't dare to commit murder! ”

Yang Zhi was so angry when he heard this, he took a long breath and said: "The Sprinkle family is the former envoy of the palace, where do you say you are from other places?" ”

Xiao Er suddenly changed color when he heard the words, hurriedly changed his face, and said with a salute: "But the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, so don't blame the adults, what do the adults have to tell me, but the small ones are all thoughtful." ”

Yang Zhi didn't wait to see him in general, but said: "There are two plates of fat chickens and fat sheep, and there are also two plates of good wine, and ten meat steamed buns to eat." ”

Xiao Er was surprised in his heart, and secretly said that this system made the adults eat a lot, so he hurriedly sang a fat song, and turned around to prepare.

Yang Zhi felt miserable in his heart, but he had no choice but to look out the door, at this moment the rain was heavier, and there was no intention of dripping, just falling like a bead curta, rolling up the layers of hookah on the street floor.

After a while, the fat chicken and the fat sheep came up, and there was a jar of wine, but the meat steamed buns were to be steamed, and they had to wait for a while, Yang Zhi stretched out his hand to pat open the mud seal, sifted a bowl for himself, and did not take the vegetables, and hurriedly poured it in, just to get dizzy and hot, and get drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows.

He drank here, thinking about some sorrowful things in his heart, and mourning the glory of his ancestors, after the five marquis Yang Linggong, several generations of generals, until the grandparents made a mistake and were convicted, since then the big tree was broken, and there is no foundation, his family practiced martial arts when he was young, and came to Beijing alone to participate in the martial arts, but the official career was not smooth, and he was excluded everywhere.

Just as he was thinking wildly, suddenly two people got into the rain curtain outside, but they had umbrellas and never wet their clothes.

Xiao Er was no longer asleep a long time ago, but when he saw it, he recognized it, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The two Duangong, please come in quickly, why come to eat and drink on a rainy day, but it is not good to catch typhoid fever." ”

The two of them were fat and thin, and the fat man laughed when he heard the words: "But there is official business, and I want to urge people to post lists everywhere, but this rain does not stop, and there is a way to close the door to rain, and the next night, I can't do anything tonight." ”

Xiao Er invited him into the house, wiped the stool with a rag, invited the two of them to sit down, and said: "Duangong is not strange for the villain, he just posted the list two days ago, and he wants to fight with the Liao State, how can he post it again?" ”

The thin man said: "You are also a clever person, tell you that it is good to brag a few points in front of the guests, and gather people without saying anything, but also show that you are well-informed." ”

Xiao Er said with a smile: "It's all about the two dukes, otherwise the villain would have known a lot." ”

The fat man said: "The left and right should be posted, only for the rain to delay, you might as well say it to you first, this time the official family is ruthless to punish the Liao dog, not only allowed the Quartet heroes to come to fight, but also put out a heavy reward!" ”

Yang Zhi was already half drunk when he was eating and drinking, but there were no others in the store at the moment, so he listened to the words of the opposite table, and he also knew about the fight with the Liao, but Hua Shigang was lost, where was it still in his heart, and at this moment he couldn't help but move in his heart when he smelled the heavy rewards, and pricked up his ears.

"The official family made people create gold, silver and bronze medals, called the Yuwu card, but this brand has a ranking, specially given to the winner of the fight, it is said that the gold medal is only one, and the book is brave......"

The voice on the other side became smaller and smaller, Yang Zhi was half drunk again, and he couldn't really hear it, but when he smelled the brand, it was like a thunderbolt hitting his body, and he was in the front of the palace, how could he not know that this thing was precious, so he stood up and hurriedly walked over, and said, "The two of you are invited." ”

When the two saw him reckless, they immediately looked displeased, and Xiao Er smiled beside him: "Duangong, this is the envoy in front of the palace." ”

The two changed their faces when they heard this, and after saluting each other, Yang Zhi asked, "Two, also ask Shicai about the imperial martial arts." ”

The fat man wondered: "The envoy is in the front of the palace, how can he not know about this?" ”

Yang Zhidao: "Urge Hua Shigang to return, catch up with the rain, and haven't reported to Taiwei yet." ”

The fat man nodded and said: "In this case, you might as well ask the envoy to know that if you can get one, you will not only be famous from now on, but also be valued by the officials, and there are even more outstanding people, as long as you want, please enter the army and directly grant the official position, but this envoy is not needed." ”

Yang Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this, like a drowning man, dying but catching a dead tree, he said: "The two of you come to the same table, today's wine and food are invited." ”

The two of them complied: "The two of me are just officials of Kaifeng Mansion, how dare I make my lord spend silver." ”

Yang Zhi was willing to give up, invited the two of them over, and drank good wine and meat for an hour or two before he regretted to say goodbye.

At this time, it was getting late, the lights were lit in the store, Yang Zhi also got up to leave, and Xiao Er came over and saluted: "Lord Envoy, please settle the wine money." ”

Yang Zhi stretched out his hand and touched his own arms, but he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, not to mention the silver taels, even the copper coins are not half-coaxed.
