"Chi Tang, do you mean that the negative swordsman Chi Tang, who is one of the top five warriors, didn't Brother Shan, drink too much?" Bai Shang couldn't help but laugh, and his words were teasing.

Shan Siji was quite serious, and said slowly: "You see that Xue Yang's method of matching the sword, it is behind you, you are an expert in using the sword, and you naturally know that the person who bears the sword on the back of the Dao, except for the Taoist figures, there are very few others, especially such a clever skill, as far as I know, the most famous one of the swordbearers is Pengcheng Zhang Yan and Linchang Chitang, both of whom are among the five unique figures." That Pengcheng Zhang Yan is carrying a giant sword, so naturally it is not him, but that Linchang Chitang, a chivalrous southern country, with excellent swordsmanship. Especially in the past few months, he suddenly disappeared, and his whereabouts became a mystery, I don't think this Xue Yang is the pseudonym of that Chitang, otherwise how could it be so coincidental, there is one less Chi Tang, and there is more Xue Yang in plain white?"

Bai Shang shook his head: "Bravely push the double unique, bravely look at the five warriors, these are all top figures in the martial arts, if Xue Yang is Chi Tang, do you think you can win the battle at noon?"

"Why can't you?" Shan Siji couldn't help but raise his voice, his face was full of pride, "The king is the first in the world in martial arts, he often says that the double absolute five warriors recommended by the Central Plains are all vain people, and he often says that my current scimitar knife technique has been perfected, and I will never be under the double absolute five warriors, if this Xue Yang is really Chi Tang, why can't I beat him?"

"Bullshit......" Bai Shang secretly spat in his heart, this Shansi Ji is really a little unscrupulous, and the king's praise of him is also serious, where is the strength of the top masters of the Central Plains martial arts that he can imagine? But he brought out the king again, and it was inconvenient for him to refute it in person, so he had to say another reason:

"Although I have never met Chitang, I also know that this person has been famous for a long time, nearly thirty years old, and a sword in his hand is rarely an opponent. But look at Xue Yang, who is only in his early twenties, and the sword behind him is rusty and mottled, which is far from the rumored Chi Tang. Besides, he said that he was a son of the Jing Chuqian family, and most of them were also a small local clan, so I don't know about it, you listen to him, it is the accent of Jingxiang, and Chitang is from Jiangnan, so this accent is not right. ”

After listening to Bai Shang's analysis, Shan Siji also knew that his speculation was a bit outrageous, and he was still tough in his mouth: "I still have a southern accent, this accent can be pretended, and I don't believe it." It's just that whether he is Xue Yang or Chi Tang, my subordinates will be defeated in the end, and the king will be here in the future, and this person will not be a problem. As he spoke, he looked at Bai Shang again, and the moonlight came in obliquely through the window, illuminating Bai Shang's face extremely cold.

"There is one more thing, so I can teach Brother Bai to know. Shan Siji leaned closer and said in a low voice. In fact, there was no one near him, so he spoke normally, and he was not afraid of being heard, and he was obviously pretending to be mysterious by doing this.

Bai Shang frowned, and did not agree.

Shan Siji paused word by word: "On the third day of the next month, the king will lead people and horses to ransack this place." ”

Bai Shang was stunned for a moment, and then lost his voice: "On the third day of the first month of next month, didn't you tell me the day before yesterday that the time is still undecided?"

Shan Siji sneered: "The words of the day before yesterday are also true! Brother Bai is a smart person, since I came here to vote, you should know that the king is ready to do something here." ”

Bai Shang was a little excited at first, but when he heard this, he calmed down again, and his mind turned back and forth, and he understood in his heart. A year ago, the Liukou army was forced by the situation to move to the Jiangnan area and make a living by plundering the local rich families. This Dong clan is located at the junction of the two countries, rich and rich in grain, the Liukou army has long been aimed here, but at that time, it had just been defeated in Guanzhong, and did not dare to move lightly for a while, so he sent Bai Shang to join the Dong family as a doorman, thinking that he was a shadow son, and prepared for the future robbery here. After this year, the Liukou army robbed the house, the number of people and horses has exceeded 1,000, and the vitality has recovered, so they sent Shan Siji to Dong's house, connect with Bai Shang, and prepare to cooperate with the outside and take Dong Zhuang.

Bai Shang Zhi said, the day before yesterday, Shan Siji did not say the exact time when the Liukou army came here, it was his distrust and temptation of himself, after all, he had been lurking here for more than a year, and the king still had some precautions. Today, Shan Siji not only has to enter the Dong Mansion as a guest, but also relies on it very much, and even becomes the leader of the Zhuang Zhuangding, so he feels that he has a lot of success, so he will tell the truth.

Bai Shang settled down and asked rhetorically: "On the third day of the next month, it will only be eight or nine days away. What does the king want us to do?"...,

Shan Siji stared at Bai Shang for a long time, nodded and said: "The king knows that the owner of Dong Zhuang is going to the capital, although the village is now in charge of the second son of Dong, but this person is just a little bit of an ear, there is no need to worry, this is the best time to take this village." The only thing to worry about is that the officers and soldiers guarding the border pass are only half a day's journey away, so we must act quickly, and once the king's signal comes, we will open the gate of the village, send the village out, and receive the leader of the army to come in. ”

Bai Shang said: "There are more than 100 customers in the Dong family, and there are 3500 people in Zhuang Ding, this matter should not be ignored, and it must be carefully planned." ”

Shan Siji smiled: "Okay, I know that you are reluctant to give up your little beauty." When you take this place, you will be the first merit, tell the king, and give you that little beauty, isn't it the same? Didn't my Lao Shan say it? ”

Bai Shang sighed in his heart, if he really revealed his true identity and helped the Liukou Army to ransack the Dong family, then Dong Yao's deep affection for himself would inevitably turn into a deep hatred, and if he really wanted to reconcile with this Miss Dong San, it would be impossible. This year, he devoted himself to this, and won the respect of the owner and son of Dong Zhuang with his strong swordsmanship, and also made the young lady deeply rooted in his affection for himself, Bai Shang almost forgot his true identity, and sometimes felt that he was the head of the door here, and it was also an excellent destination. After a year, this day has finally come. Bai Shang's heart suddenly moved: If he betrayed the Liukou army, what if he really helped the Dong family?

"The king will ...... What's the number?" Bai Shang's voice seemed weak.

※※※

For several days, Chi Tang didn't dare to go outside the front yard, thinking back to Xue Yang's eyes and the pain of the wound under his ears that day, Chi Tang felt a little strange. I'm afraid that if I meet Xue Yang outside the front yard, there will be some accidents, the moonlit night will stab the king, and the demons are rampant, but Chi Tang can't be stimulated anymore. Fortunately, where the servants lived, the doormen were not allowed to enter at will, and it was expected that Xue Yang would not be able to find it.

Chi Tang also inquired about the situation of the new visitors, and learned that Xue Yang was ranked seventh by the second son, which was considered very favorable, and that Shansiji was ranked second, replacing Zong Xitan, which was even more important. Chi Tang knows that Xue Yang's skills are still above Shansiji, but there are no masters here, and he can't see the key, plus Xue Yang's hidden work is very good, and he is ranked under Shansiji, so it can be seen that this Xue Yang must have other plans when he comes here.

Chi Tang is in Dongzhuang, mainly to do some rough and stupid work of carrying firewood and running errands, usually for the ordinary kitchen, and now Chi Tang does not go outside the village, it is to help the kitchen all day long.

"Zhang Wu, what's wrong with you? Don't come over with firewood for a few days. "For Chi Tang's performance in the past few days, Lao Yantou is very strange.

Chi Tang washed the pottery bowl several times, and said in his mouth: "It's really soft in the past two days, I can't go out, and I can't go far." ”

Old Yan Tou laughed: "How many distances can you get from outside the village to here? ”

Chi Tang smiled and didn't respond, and Lao Yantou hesitated by himself: "It's not right, you killed the pig the day before yesterday, and you went to tie up the pig, this work is much more tiring than carrying firewood." ”

A little boy walked in and pulled Chi Tang's shirt: "Uncle Zhang, do you still teach me to read tonight?"

This little boy's name is Bao'er, but he is only eight or nine years old, and when he laughs, his face is two dimples, and he looks very cute, and he is the son of Yao San, a gardener in the village. The servants who have been working here for a long time, the master's family will often give some old maids and maids in the inner house to them as wives, give birth to offspring, and be servants and slaves for generations. This Bao'er is handsome and cute, and the housekeeper of the inner courtyard Zhou has already released a word, asking him to be the second son's scholar in the future, which is an excellent future for a servant who lives on labor. But if you want to be a scholar, you always have to know a little bit of writing and ink, but in the servant's house, where can you learn Chinese hyphenation? It just so happens that Chi Tang usually teaches other illiterate servants to read and write in his spare time, so Bao'er always pesters Chi Tang to know more words.

Chi Tang deliberately quipped: "Let your Lao Tzu invite me to drink, and I will teach you tonight." The yellow dog in the courtyard came up again and sniffed around Bao'er.

"My mother said that Uncle Zhang is the best. Bao'er grabbed Chi Tang's arm and said pitifully. ...,

As she was talking, a young woman came over and looked at Chi Tang with a smile, although she was dressed in cloth, her face was quite beautiful.

Chi Tang recognized that this young woman was the wife of the gardener Yao San, Bao'er's mother, and hurriedly stood up: "Yo, why is my sister-in-law here too?"

The young woman pulled Bao'er and handed a bunch of dried meat to Chi Tang's hand.

Chi Tang was stunned: "Sister-in-law, what is this for?"

"I discussed with the child's father, Steward Zhou said that the child can be a companion to the son in the future, this is a good future, all thanks to the Zhang brothers to teach him to read some words, the Zhang brothers even if the child's husband, to Mr. to study, is to give some gifts to live up to this system, not to say that there was a gift in ancient times? No, yesterday the lady was rewarded, this was sent to Brother Zhang, and Brother Zhang was not disliked. The young woman said it sincerely.

Chi Tang then understood, and hurriedly waved his hand: "What is this saying, I just know some words, just teach everyone indiscriminately, I don't deserve this ceremony, I just said nasty things to Bao'er, I naturally want to teach him at night, this can't be accepted, take it back quickly, and give it to Bao'er and the third brother to eat." "Hurry up and return the dried meat to the young woman.

The young woman pushed back again and again: "The child's apprenticeship ceremony, Brother Zhang has to accept it no matter what." ”

"Ha, that's the etiquette of a saint, we don't like this, if my sister-in-law really sends it to me, I don't dare to teach Bao'er anymore." Chi Tang smiled, and finally stuffed the dried meat back into the young woman's hand, and the young woman heard Chi Tang say this, so she couldn't insist anymore, and her face turned red.

Chi Tang touched Bao'er's little head and smiled: "After dinner tonight, just come to me." ”

Boa nodded and smiled very cutely.

"In this way, thank you Brother Zhang. The young woman blessed Chi Tang, and said hello to the old Yan in the kitchen, and then pulled Bao'er away.

Looking at the back of the young woman who was gone, Lao Yan leaned against the door, and his mouth was still praising him: "This Cui Gu is really Peugeot, if it weren't for that, how could Yao San of the flower house have such a beautiful fortune?"

Chi Tang continued to wash the dishes, and said casually: "Steward Yan still has this mind about others?"

Old Yan Tou coughed dryly: "Hehe, no, no, just take a look." But I said, Zhang Wu, this Cui Gu is quite interesting to you, really, didn't you see that her face was red just now?"

Chi Tang piled the pottery bowls in one place, wiped his hands dry on his body, and subconsciously touched the wound under his ear: "Ah? This can't be nonsense, everyone is a child." ”

Lao Yantou came to the spirit: "Marry and marry, the man who may not marry is the man that the woman likes, you Zhang Wuren is not ugly, and you are literate, and you are so good to her son, can she not be tempted?"

The servants are usually bored, and they like to talk about these topics, especially since this old Yan is still a big pervert. Chi Tang remembers very clearly, a few days ago, a few maids from the inner house came to cook and pick up things, and somehow the skirts of their clothes fell off and fell, revealing their white swaying thighs, and the old Yan Tou drank too much wine, but he couldn't take his eyes off it, and he was so happy that his saliva was all over the place when he saw the highlights, and his lustful appearance was really obscene.

Chi Tang thought to himself that this topic could not be continued, otherwise the rumors would get up, especially if it was said by this old pervert Steward Yan, it would be even more unbearable, if Yao San heard that he had to cut himself off, he quickly forked away: "Steward Yan said that Aunt Cui married Yao San because of that incident, what is the matter?"
