When he arrived at the backyard of the blacksmith shop, the shopkeeper tied the black blood and the black horse to the tree in the courtyard, invited Tianxiao to sit down on a bamboo chair, and after a pot of tea, he called out his wife and children and four apprentices with a few shouts, and all knelt down with a "bang". "What are you doing here?" was so frightened that Tianxiao stood up, but the shopkeeper said: "Childe, I recognize you, you are the Young Sect Master of the Dragon Slaying Sect, the Little Demon Lord." Childe, please, the pair has been given to you, so let my three sons come back. ”

Tian Xiao understood, it turned out that the shopkeeper had mistaken himself for his brother Tianlei, and he was afraid that he might not believe it if he denied the shopkeeper, so he asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper, do you know that there is a thirteen young Tianyu on the rivers and lakes, and a boy in brocade?" The shopkeeper didn't know why this little demon lord asked this, so he nodded and said, "I know." Thirteen Shao Tianyu is the grandson of Dongfang Lie, and the son of Jinyi is the public enemy of today's martial arts. Hearing that he had become a public enemy of martial arts, Tian Xiao smiled, went to a bamboo chair, took a sip of tea, and did not ask this big family to get up, saying: "There are twin brothers in the rivers and lakes, and the eldest is called Tianlei, who is the young leader of the Dragon Slaying Sect, the Little Demon Lord." The second child's name is Tianxiao, and he is the boy in brocade who you said today's public enemy of martial arts. The third child is called Tianyu, and he is the thirteenth young man of Juxiong Villa. But I'm neither a little demon nor a thirteen young man, I'm the second brocade boy. Tell me, where are your three sons locked up now, and see if I can save them. "I heard that it was a mistake for someone, and the whole family stood up. The shopkeeper looked a little embarrassed, shook his head a few times, and said: "The person is locked up in Dongchang Mansion, there is a branch of the Dragon Slaying Sect called the White Tiger Hall, and the hall master is Fang Xing, known as the leopard's head." ”

Tianxiao nodded and asked, "When will the horseshoe be replaced?" When will the short sword be cast?" The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "Childe, I will dissolve the dark iron now, and I can change the horseshoe at noon tomorrow, and you will take the sword in three days." Tian Xiao thought to himself, then stay in Xuzhou for three more days, so he asked: "How much silver is this sword?" The shopkeeper quickly shook his head and waved his hand. "Childe, I can't take this silver. Tianxiao never liked to take advantage of others, so he smiled and said: "Shopkeeper, saving your son and forging a sword are not the same thing." Don't be cranky. My boy in brocade has killed a lot of people. That is to avenge the blood feud of the door, and never take other people's property by force. If you don't come out with a price, or if you come out with a price, then my sword will not be forged. The horseshoe has not been changed either. Tomorrow, I will rush to Dongchang Mansion to save your son. ”

The shopkeeper was said to be stupid. He could only answer: "The sword is 1,800 taels." Tianxiao listened and took out the silver ticket from his arms, picked out a piece of three thousand two hundred taels and handed it to the shopkeeper and said with a smile: "Seven hundred taels of horseshoe, one thousand eight hundred taels of sword." a total of two thousand five hundred taels. This is a silver ticket of three thousand two hundred taels, and you will exchange it with seven hundred taels of silver for me when the time comes. The shopkeeper, the hilt and scabbard of the sword should be more delicate, which I forged for my daughter-in-law. Also, these two of my horses are rare horses in the world, and this black-blooded god horse is worth at least 40,000 taels of silver. Because I want to change the horseshoe, I will let these two horses go to your house, don't let people steal them, I will pick them up after lunch tomorrow. ”

After breakfast the next day, Mo Jing said that she was too stuffy in the inn and wanted to go out to hang out in Xuzhou City. Tianxiao agreed, helped her out of the inn with a gun, and went shopping in and out of the shops, but only looked at it and didn't buy it. After shopping for a while, Mo Jing saw that there were many people walking to the west of the street, so she said, "Xiao, so many people are going west, maybe there is something interesting there, go and have a look." Tianxiao nodded and smiled: "The words of the daughter-in-law are the holy decree, and the ministers dare not disobey them." ”

As the flow of people to the place, it turned out to be a military academy field, and the west side of the military academy field used bamboo and logs to build a temporary platform, the size of a stage, but there was no roof and no guardrails. "It could be singing, or acting, or something. ”

Mo Jing guessed, Tianxiao nodded silently, not wanting an uncle on the side to interject a word. "Childe, this is a military academy, and you are not allowed to sing and perform. There was a minister in the imperial court who was raided all over the house, implicating the three clans, and Xu Yuanwai's family was among them. I heard that the master, young and old, was on death row, and the subordinate Yahuan in the house was sold by the government here today. Alas, Zhao Yuanwai is a great good person. Mo Jing listened and asked Tianxiao softly. "Will there be such a thing in Longqing? That is, the Nine Clans will be punished and the Three Clans will be exterminated. Tianxiao sighed, shook his head and said, "There is a full door." But no one else is implicated. I hugged Mo Jing, and saw that a person who looked like a bad official appeared on the stage, and knew that this sale was about to start.

Sure enough, after a while, forty or fifty people were brought from both sides of the platform, and the temporary platform was crowded. With the sound of a gong, the first woman in the front row of an errand officer said, "This is a cook, who can cook thirty or forty delicious dishes and make seventeen dim sum." The price starts at twenty taels of silver, who wants it? If you miss it, it will be gone. Someone on the field immediately shouted, "Twenty taels of silver, I want it." Mo Jing immediately shouted, "I'll add another ten taels." Tianxiao was stunned for a moment. "What do you want this cook to do? daughter-in-law, this is not a place to laugh. Mo Jing said: "Who is laughing." Buy her back and cook wine and food for the three masters. Seeing that his daughter-in-law thought of the three gods of the demon world like this, Tianxiao was naturally happy when he heard it, and only heard someone shouting: "I'll add five taels." Then he raised his spear and shouted, "Servant above, I have taken fifty taels of silver."

You can help me find eight clever maids and six young people. If I have a good sedan chair, I want one, and three carriages. This is a big patron, only to see the errand official sound a gong and say: "The boy with the gun, the clever girl, the young and strong people are fifty taels each, the good sedan chair is eighty taels, and the three carriages are forty-five taels, a total of eight hundred and seventy-five taels." Childe, if your family needs to take care of the house, there are two old slaves who can do kung fu, but the price is a little more expensive, one hundred taels each, do you want it?" Tianxiao smiled: "Since you are an old slave, you must be loyal, I want it." Tell me, who am I giving this silver ticket to?"

It's lively now, and after buying so many people, everyone wants to know which of these two sons are. But Mo Jing couldn't manage so much, so the official brought the carriage and sedan chair, and waved at the eight maids, six subordinates, a cook, and two old slaves: "Let's go." Four subordinates led the carriage and sedan chair, two old slaves came to be close, and the rest of the people left the military academy and returned to the inn.

"Man, how many rooms are left?" asked Tianxiao as he entered the door, and the shopkeeper in the tent answered, "There are six rooms left." He said, "All of them." Unexpectedly, an old slave said, "Son, four rooms are enough, let's squeeze in." Tianxiao couldn't help but think to himself: "Sure enough, it's a loyal slave." That's right. Then he said to the shopkeeper, "I have all six." Four more tables of food and drinks. Then he said to them, "I didn't know each other, but now we are a family." Come, sit down, and serve food and drinks. Sit down, sit down, I don't have any stinky rules in my house. After everyone sat down, he pointed at Mo Jing and said: "She is not a son-in-law, she is my daughter-in-law, she had a misunderstanding with someone in Guide and slashed her back twice." "When I saw that the man had brought the food and drinks, a girl got up and came over. hugged Mo Jing and said, "Madam." The slave's name is Ah Jiao, and she originally served the old lady in the Zhao Mansion, so let me serve the lady in the future, okay?" Mo Jing nodded and said, "Ah Jiao." Then help me through. Sit with you. Seeing that his daughter-in-law was helped away by Yahuan, Tianxiao leaned his gun against the pillar, sat down and said to the two old slaves, "Stay here for two days." Then go to Zhenjiang. If you have anything to do, do it today and tomorrow. ”

An old slave nodded and said: "Childe, the old slave's name is Shi Long, he is my brother Shi Hu, he has been in the Zhao Mansion for more than 30 years, and the master is kind to us both." If the son allowed, before leaving Xuzhou, the old slave brothers wanted to go to the prison to say goodbye to the master. Shi Hu poured a bowl of wine for the master, and when Tianxiao saw that everyone was sitting stupidly, he smiled and said, "Sitting stupidly and not filling your stomach, eat quickly." Then he asked the Shi brothers. "This death row is also allowed to be investigated?" Shi Hu hurriedly said: "As long as you make some silver, open the joints and let in." ”

Tianxiao nodded and said, "As long as you let it in, silver is a trivial matter, and I have it." Since you are gone, don't be empty-handed, you have to bring some food and drink to your master. Also, I have to give each small prison ten taels of silver, and the cell head gives fifty taels, so that they don't embarrass the old and young of the Zhao Mansion too much, and they can suffer less crimes. Alas, I don't know when I will go. ”

After dinner, Tianxiao went to the blacksmith shop to bring back the black blood and the black horse, went to the stable to feed the horse material and brought it into the house to lock the door, and brought 700 taels of silver to the opposite room, and saw that the people under the girl ring were there. "Why don't you go back to your room to rest. He smiled and placed a bag of silver on Shi Hu's leg. "Here are seven hundred taels, your brother should take it and take it. If it's not enough, come to me again. "For rich people, seven hundred taels of silver is not money, but for these people who have no money, they can't earn these seven hundred taels of silver in their lives, but this new master gave it without blinking an eyelid. "Childe, you trust the old slave so much, aren't you afraid that our brother will take the silver and fly away?" Hearing Shi Long say this, Mo Jing, who was sitting on the bed, smiled and said: "Shi Long, if you brothers really want to go away and fly away, then how can these seven hundred taels of silver be enough, I will give you another five hundred taels, and I will never say anything." ”

Tianlong then placed a silver ticket in Shi Long's hand. "This is a silver ticket of eight thousand taels, if you two brothers really want to leave, then take it with you. If you stay and don't leave, you will take care of the family's food and drink with Ah Jiao in the future, and my wife and I can trust you. Shi Long hurriedly said: "We will definitely not deviate from the son and the lady. If anyone has two hearts, I will be the first to spare him. Ah Jiao got up and asked Gongzi to sit down beside Madame. Tianxiao said to Mo Jing: "Daughter-in-law, I want to discuss something with you." ”

Mo Jing seemed to know what Xianggong wanted to say, nodded and said: "Xiao, this place is not far from Zhenjiang, there are a few Jiao waiters on the road, and there are Shi brothers in case of trouble, so you can rest assured to do your own business." Tianxiao hugged his daughter-in-law and leaned on him, sighed lightly and said, "There are too many things to do." After breaking into the Daming Palace, I want to go to Dongchang Mansion to save the son of the blacksmith shop on the opposite side, and then go to the tile spur to resolve the affairs of the three heroes of the Western Regions.

Alas, I want to just hug you like this and sleep beautifully for three days. It's a pity that I can't help myself. Daughter-in-law, I asked the blacksmith shop opposite to cast you a black iron short sword with iron like clay, and I have already given the silver, and you can let Shilong fetch it tomorrow afternoon, I have already told the shopkeeper. I'll leave it to you, Black Pony. Bring me a message to Geng Feng, before you can't walk on the ground, you are never allowed to practice martial arts. Alright, daughter-in-law, kiss me, it's time for me to go. ”

Thinking of the war between Longqing and Daming, after saying goodbye to his beloved wife, Tianxiao hurried away, thinking that he would arrive in the capital as soon as possible, sneak into the palace, and coerce the imperial brother to discuss peace and boycott the war. When I was drinking in Weihui Mansion, I heard the discussion at the adjacent table, saying that after the Three Poisons of the Western Regions became the apprentice of the boy in brocade, he changed his name to the Three Masters of the Western Regions, and acted chivalrous along the road. Tian Xiao couldn't help but think: "This Three Poisons of the Western Regions is the same as the Seven Demons of the Central Plains, they were originally all subordinates of the teacher, and they did a lot of evil deeds, I was trying to eradicate them, but suddenly became my apprentice, the Three Masters of the Western Regions, and became better." Not bad. He drank wine and listened quietly, only to know that the three heroes of the Western Regions were going to the palace to steal some treasures to honor themselves, which was so touched, but he was afraid that the scorpions would have an accident, so he hurriedly paid the bill and left the store, rode on the god horse and left. Out of Weihui Mansion, there was no leisure to play and eat and drink along the way, so the fast horse rushed to the capital, stayed at the Fulai Inn, handed over the horses and guns to the shopkeeper for safekeeping, threw down three ingots of silver and said: "Look at the horses and guns, this silver is yours." If something happens, your whole family will be killed. Then he left the inn, and without waiting for the sky to darken, he came to a secluded place on the wall of the palace, and saw that no one jumped into the palace. He crossed the beam and walked the eaves, treading water like flying, and unexpectedly came to the bedroom of Emperor Shenzong in the midst of the blind indiscriminate, and collided with the imperial brother. “

Who are you, how dare you break into my bedroom?" This Yi Jun was not nervous, but when he asked like this, he let Tian Xiao know that the person in front of him was Emperor Shenzong, and he hurriedly took out the emerald given to him by the prince and put it in Yi Jun's hand, and smiled: "Why, if you become the emperor, you won't recognize me." And he sat down on the dragon bed.

When Yi Jun saw the emerald, he naturally knew that it was the emperor's brother who had arrived, so his face sank, and he reprimanded with the emperor's holy might: "How dare you occupy my city, arrest my general, and break into the palace to save people, and kill the master of the inner house, you can't rebel." Tian Xiao smiled, pointed to Yijun to sit down, and said with a smile: "You emperor is too petty."

You are the son of your father, and I am also the son of my father, why did you sit on the throne and drive me out of Pukou City, and ban my mother and sister. Hey, you, the emperor, have thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, so what's wrong with letting me occupy some cities? Besides, if you look at your Ming subjects, and then look at my Longqing subjects, these days are different. Yijun, tell you today, I have occupied these cities. If you are still petty, I will occupy some of your cities and see whose soldiers and horses are strong.

Hmph, if you anger me, I'll just take all your country. Yijun was said to be angry and anxious, but he has not been Tianxiao's opponent since he was a child, and he can't do anything about him at the moment. But thinking that he had lost so many cities as soon as he sat on the dragon chair, not to mention that this face was too embarrassing, many ministers said in private that they were incompetent. "Brother Huang. This Yijun turned his mind, and suddenly thought of a way to save his face, so he moved from the strip to the edge of the dragon bed, stuffed the emerald back into Tianxiao's hand, and said with a smile: "I said back then, when I ascend the throne, I will share the country with you." Now that you have obtained those cities, they will also belong to you, which can be regarded as acting for me and worrying about local political affairs for me, what do you think?" Tianxiao wanted to laugh, thinking that the cities were all occupied by me, and you were still so pretending. But in the blink of an eye, it was not easy for the Ming Emperor to say this.

Besides, the two armies are at war, and if he follows his words, the two countries will not be able to withdraw their troops, and the people of the two countries will be spared the suffering of war. (To be continued......)
