Taiping City General's Mansion.

An Tongping in the mansion was a little excited, and the four disciples who were casual were all arranged by Xiao Tiantu to be received in the first-class guest room, and it was the first time that An Tongping used food in the main hall of the general's mansion.

"Senior An's chivalrous heart, not only generous, but also news from the front line that many disciples of Senior An's seat suddenly appeared near the barracks, asking to go into battle to kill the enemy, for the national merit, Xiao was greatly impressed when he learned of this. ”

Xiao Tiantu toasted An Tongping, and An Tongping also picked up the wine glass with a smile and drank it all.

In the face of Xiao Tiantu's praise, An Tongping was not modest: "Among those people, there are many lay disciples of my Divine Sword Sect, whose martial arts are mediocre, but they all have the enthusiasm to serve the country. I often tell them that all of us who practice martial arts must do something. If you don't have talent, you must also have a lot of enthusiasm, or be a hero, or be a hero, stand up when the country is in trouble, and punish evil and promote good when the country is stable, this is the way of a big husband. ”

"Well said. Xiao Tiantu toasted An Tongping again, An Tongping said happily, and drank it all again.

Xiao Tiantu said with emotion: "If all the sects in the world can protect the country with such enthusiasm as the Divine Sword Sect, why is my Taiping Dynasty afraid of the invasion of barbarians from all directions, and why is it afraid that this young man will rebel for personal gain!"

An Tongping nodded and said: "The general has the world in mind, and he will definitely be able to rehabilitate the chaos and help His Majesty recreate the past prosperity." ”

Xiao Tiantu said with a smile: "I wish to give you the auspicious words of your predecessors." ”

......

After three rounds of drinking, An Tongping was not strong enough to drink, his face was flushed, and today he was treated well by Xiao Tiantu, the general of the dynasty, and he felt that he had glorified his ancestors, and this life was enough.

Slightly drunk, An Tongping thought of what he had encountered in his life, and burst into tears.

Xiao Tiantu saw that An Tongping suddenly looked like a child, so he hurriedly asked: "Senior An, is it because I didn't treat you well today or did you encounter something difficult?"

"Neither. An Tongping realized that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly shook his head to sober himself up: "Don't hide it from the general, I'm under too much pressure, I'm happy today, I'm so happy and sad that I can't help it." ”

Xiao Tiantu sighed: "It is said that life is not easy, and everyone has their own troubles. I didn't expect that Senior An, such an upright person, also had troubles. ”

An Tongping said helplessly: "Don't hide it from the general, since I became the head of the house, it coincided with the fall of the Shenjian Sect, and the Dragon and Tiger Alliance grew in Saibei, and suffered from the white eyes of colleagues in the rivers and lakes, which is a common thing." ”

An Tongping wanted to speak and stopped, feeling that it was too much to talk in front of Xiao Tiantu, so Xiao Tiantu said: "If General An has something on his mind, he will say it, Xiao is willing to hear it in detail." ”

An Tongping relieved his mind at this time, and then said: "When I first entered the Divine Sword Sect, I was the oldest disciple of the three generations in the sect. At that time, the prestige of our Divine Sword Sect was a well-known existence in the rivers and lakes. My little uncle, presumably the general also knows, the sword saint Xiao Lang, everyone knows it. At that time, the limelight of our Divine Sword Gate was unrivaled for a while, even the two doors of Buddhism and Taoism, and it was difficult to hide the light. ”

"It's a pity that my master Zhao Liuzi and the little uncle were born at odds, the little uncle left the master to wander the rivers and lakes alone, the master was later killed in the Suolong Valley that year, and the little aunt Mu Sanniang also retired from the rivers and lakes after the sword competition with Lin Xueyi. My Divine Sword Sect overnight, there is no more famous master of the Jianghu martial arts, the status of the rivers and lakes plummeted, coupled with the suppression of the Dragon and Tiger Alliance, it completely became a small sect that gradually faded out of the Jianghu martial arts. ”

"I once wanted to endure humiliation and cultivate a supreme master like the previous generation, so as to revive the reputation of my Divine Sword Sect. It's a pity that the disciples taught are all mediocre in qualifications, and seeing that they are close to the age of sixties, and there is no disciple beside them who can pass on the great cause, they really can't sleep at night. ”

An Tongping seemed to be spitting out bitterness, Xiao Tiantu quietly listened and asked: "I heard that Senior An has a young son who is very clever, why, Senior An doesn't want to pass on the great cause to him?"

An Tongping said with a smile: "The general doesn't know anything, the dog is dull, and I really pass on the swordsmanship, but I am familiar but not proficient." The responsibility lies either with me or with him. I was born with mediocre qualifications, I am not a famous teacher, he is playful by nature, and he is not diligent. Therefore, when I learned that he went to the Nine Xuanmen to learn the arts, he could understand some essence of swordsmanship, and see more of the world, I gladly agreed. It's just that I don't know when I'll be able to open my mind. ”

Xiao Tiantu was not surprised at all, he already knew the news of An Ziyu's presence in Jiuxuanmen.

Xiao Tiantu nodded and said: "Jiuxuanmen is the head of the sword in the world, and it is rare for Senior An to have such foresight to let Liangzi study in the mountains." ”

An Tongping continued: "When others look at me, I think I have selfishness, but in fact, I don't have any selfishness at all. The dog entered my door earlier, is the senior brother of the sect, is young, swordsmanship is acceptable compared with his peers, so he has always been regarded as the future head of the candidate. However, if the disciple's cultivation can advance by leaps and bounds, and one or two top masters will emerge, then the head of the sect will be given to this person. In short, the decline of the status of the Shenjian Sect in the rivers and lakes has been leveled down, but it cannot be completely destroyed in my hands. The position of head is still under consideration. ”

Xiao Tiantu said: "Senior An has such foresight, and there are so many young talents in the Divine Sword Sect, I believe that the day of recovery is not far away." ”

General Xie was relieved. "An Tongping is really temperamental, and after a glass of wine, he is also a little more relaxed.

Xiao Tiantu got back to business and asked, "Senior An, the disciples in the sect are exhausted, and there is no one in the Divine Sword Sect, aren't you afraid of any changes?"

An Tongping said with a smile: "My Divine Sword Sect is now a small sect, and there is no gold, silver and jewelry on the mountain, so thieves are not afraid, even if there is any abnormality? ”

Xiao Tiantu nodded and said: "That's good, if there is any loss, after the matter is completed, I will ask the household department to allocate ten times the compensation to you." “

"No, no, no." An Tongping hurriedly said: "If the general really does this, it seems that he is a greedy man." Su Xiang is honest and honest, and many family members among the children of the Shenjian Sect are favored by him, and it is also a matter of duty to protect Su Xiang's safety. ”

Xiao Tiantu said: "Since this is the case, I am also relieved." The Shangguan Mansion has already said that when the time comes, all the disciples will live in the Shangguan Mansion together, with three floors inside and outside, and the two of you need to join hands to lay down the copper wall and iron wall. Squeezed is squeezed a little, I hope that after Su Xiang leaves Beijing, no one will care. ”

An Tong said with a straight face: "Don't worry, the general is here, with my Divine Sword Gate, even if he Long Yingtian comes in person, he will also capture him alive and bring him to the general to ask for his guilt!"

An Tongping lost to the big man at the martial arts conference of the Dragon and Tiger League three years ago, and was ridiculed by some colleagues in the rivers and lakes, and he also regretted being overconfident, and his bare hands were not his strong point. In the past three years, An Tongping has always wanted to get back, but Long Yingtian faked his death for two years, and after his resurrection, he didn't trouble him, and now he was entrusted by Xiao Tiantu to protect Su Yongjin, but he wanted Long Yingtian to come to his tiger's den to break through.

An Tongping is one of the few remaining traditional martial arts people.
