On the afternoon of the second day of the Battle of the Cross Slope, the Chang'an Branch of the Huitong Dart Bureau ushered in the first distinguished guest after the opening.

This person's surname is Hou, and he opened a Buddha Ci Hall, specializing in the purchase and trafficking of medicinal materials, and is a little famous in Chang'an City.

Seeing that the business came to the door, Xia Peiheng Xia was overjoyed and personally came forward to entertain him.

Boss Hou was not ambiguous, opening his mouth was a big deal, and he paid a deposit of 3,000 taels on the spot.

Mr. Xia's dart head was enthusiastic, patted his chest and promised to personally escort this dart silver to ensure that nothing went wrong on the road.

Unexpectedly, Boss Hou named him by name and asked Vice President Diao, who was still lying on the bed and could only count the stars and silver tickets, to escort him. also said that he was aiming at his reputation for overcoming Duan Zhentian, and specially admired him.

Sensing that Mr. Xia's dart head's face was a little unsightly, Yu Linglong hurriedly explained to Boss Hou that Mr. Diao's dart head was still recuperating from his injury and should not dart, and he had no experience in darts, so it was better to be replaced by Mr. Xia's dart head, who was experienced and powerful.

Boss Hou said with a smile: "Don't get in the way, this is the right to be the master dart of Mr. Diao." Even Mr. Duan's dart head who is full of Guan Luo can hit his stomach, who else is more suitable than him? If Mr. Diao's dart head is really inconvenient to travel, then I can also consider changing the dart game. ”

Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, looked at Xia Peiheng and said, "For example...... Guan Luo Dart Bureau. ”

Thinking that such a big business was about to fall on the head of a competitor, Xia Peiheng finally gave up caring about personal gains and losses, and immediately made a decision to respond for Diao's deputy general manager, and transferred Yi Bai and Yu Linglong as deputies to cooperate with Diao Xiaosi to escort him.

So Boss Hou floated away satisfied, and waited for the car to leave six days later.

After Xia Peiheng sent off the customer, he went in to see Diao Xiaosi, so that he finally persuaded him to agree to go out on a business trip reluctantly, and all the food expenses along the way were borne by the dart bureau.

In this way, Diao Xiaosi found Yi Bai and talked about the confused account of one million to five million. In desperation, Yi Bai had to agree to try his hand at the knife, and modified the nephew of the vice president Diao's dart head in five suits, and disguised himself as a new executioner to blend into the escort dart team.

As the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy. Diao Xiaosi's spirit in the past two days is not only cool, it should be quite cool.

He roughly estimated that after removing the tens of thousands of taels of dividends and medicine money given to Qu Tutong and the thief Lao Dao, the silver he got should be 700,000 taels. It's a pity that the belongings to save my life are almost emptied again, and I must replenish them as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to guarantee that the next time I meet the old demon of Yingyang or Yuwen Chengdu, I will only be killed at will.

The so-called turning over and not forgetting old friends, Diao Xiaosi grinded in Wenxianglou for another afternoon, and finally bought a nine-shot moon-chasing crossbow from Li Jing that could be modified and hidden in the sole of his boots at a preferential price of vomiting blood, two "White Crane Bright Winged Shuttles", a "Soul Breaking World Needle", and a pack of "Soul Lingering Dreams", just about to stuff something into his mouth.

He went to the imperial city by the way and told Princess Jincheng that he was going to go to Taiyuan.

Princess Jincheng didn't say much, and this time she sent him four scrolls and asked them to be delivered after returning to Chang'an.

Diao Xiaosi took the scroll, only when Princess Jincheng completely forgot about the Qipin Wuyue Zhenhai Fu, she hurriedly slipped out of the south study with oil on the soles of her feet, and almost crashed into someone's arms with her left foot just stepped out of the door.

Thanks to Diao Xiaosi's quick reaction, he hurriedly retracted his body and didn't have time to take a closer look, but it was always nothing more than the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace or the guards on duty, and said angrily: "How do you walk, you don't say hello to the princess ......."

In the middle of speaking, his mouth suddenly opened, and then opened again, and he couldn't make a sound.

I saw that the person standing in front of him was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a dignified appearance and no anger and self-authority, his eyebrows were like a sheathed knife obliquely inserted into his sideburns, and he looked a little mean. But these are nothing, the key is that the middle-aged man is wearing, which is clearly a bright yellow dragon robe!

"Presumptuous!" a Praetorian Guard general standing behind the middle-aged man scolded: "Come on, take him down!"

Diao Xiaosi's brain teaser and shouted: "Diao Xiaosi, I let you walk without looking at the road, I let you go out without saying hello, what should you do if you collide with the holy driver?"

This middle-aged man was Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Sui, and he didn't expect that someone would suddenly appear in his daughter's study, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Seeing that the two guards were about to step forward to arrest Diao Xiaosi, he waved his hand and said, "This baby is also interesting, wait for me to ask him a few words before dealing with it." ”

When the words fell, Princess Jincheng walked out of the study, and Ying Ying bowed down and said, "Father!"

When Yang Guang saw his daughter, a smile appeared on his majestic face and said, "He was summoned into the palace by you......?" Why do I feel familiar?"

Princess Jincheng replied: "Father, have you forgotten, he is a friend of his daughter, and he has just become the deputy head of the dart bureau, and I asked you for a word a few days before the opening ceremony." ”

Yang Guang said "oh" and said, "Yes, I remember." Since it's your friend, maybe you don't understand the rules of the palace, so forget it. ”

Diao Xiaosi was secretly surprised, he had heard and seen it all these years, and he said that Yang Guang was a tyrannical and unscrupulous faint king, but he didn't expect that the father standing in front of him, who was obviously a pampered daughter, said a few words lightly on the little girl, and he escaped being killed.

He raised his body and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, the grass people have retired!"

Yang Guang nodded, and Diao Xiaosi breathed a sigh of relief and retreated. Unexpectedly, Yang Guang suddenly whispered: "Wait!"

Diao Xiaosi was taken aback, thinking that the emperor was going to change his attention, and immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, you have no jokes, you say forget it!"

The face of the general of the Praetorian Guard turned cold and said, "Bold, how can you speak to Your Majesty like this?

Yang Guang was stunned, stared at Diao Xiaosi for a long time, and whispered as if he was talking to himself: "It's really like-"

Diao Xiaosi was covered with goosebumps when he saw Yang Guang's strange eyes, but he heard Princess Jincheng ask in surprise: "Father, who do you say he looks like?"

Yang Guang retracted his gaze and shook his head: "It's me who remembered someone, and it shouldn't have anything to do with this baby." He waved his hand at Diao Xiaosi and said, "You go, I won't regret it." ”

Diao Xiaosi shouted thank you and retreated in confusion, went to the treasury to receive the refining materials and left the imperial city.

He didn't know who Yang Guang said he was like, and when he walked out of Hanguang Gate, he felt that his heart was pounding.

But before he walked out of the two streets, he threw what he had just done out of the clouds, rode a horse all the way to think about how to spend the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in his pocket, and happily returned to Willow Garden.

From time to time, people on both sides of the street pointed at him, and some unmarried little girls hid behind the curtain and secretly looked out, wanting to see what kind of young hero Duan Zhentian defeated the head of the Guan Luo Dart Bureau.

Yi Bai, who was in charge of the escort, and several dart masters were honored, and said with a smile: "Fourth master, now you are a celebrity in Chang'an City." I heard that the Chang'an celebrity list hanging in the lobby of Fubu Restaurant, the largest restaurant in Beijing, has your name, and it ranks in the top 20. Even Duan Zhentian was wiped out because of this incident, and suddenly squeezed to the eighty-sixth place. ”

Diao Xiaosi was stunned and asked, "Chang'an Famous Scholar List, what is that?"

Yi Bai replied: "It's a list of the owners of Fubu Restaurant according to the topics discussed by each guest in the restaurant. The top 100 who can enter the list are all hotly discussed figures in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City. This list is updated once a month, and I heard that even many princes and ministers are thinking of spending money to reward them to leave their names on it. ”

Diao Xiaosi said with interest: "I don't know who is in first place?"

Yi Bai said: "The first place has been vacant. ”

Diao Xiaosi said: "Why is this?"

Yi Bai smiled: "Do you think, if you talk about the number one person in Chang'an City, who would dare to compete with the saint? But his name can't be scribbled at will, so he has to be empty." ”

Diao Xiaosi suddenly realized and said, "When we come back from Taiyuan, take a moment to go to Fubu to take a look at the list of famous people." ”

After chatting, a few people returned to Liuyuan, and Diao Xiaosi got off the horse and went straight to the residence of the divination operator.

Pushing open the door, I saw Bu Operator sitting quietly by the window drinking tea, looking out of the window and looking blank as if he was thinking about something.

Diao Xiaosi sat down opposite him and said, "Apprentice, you have also made a lot of efforts this time when the master succeeded in beating the dog." I wanted to give you some money, but then I thought it wouldn't seem to be of much use to you. After thinking about it for the teacher, I finally decided to send you some refining materials. ”

As he spoke, he took out a bunch of refining materials from the belt of the dragon, rummaged through them, and put them on the table, estimating that they were worth eight thousand. Anyway, there is a chance that the Dao talisman refined by the old blind man will still fall into his pocket, and it can be regarded as fat and water that does not leave outsiders in the field.

Bu Operator didn't take a stubble, and said slowly: "You came just in time, I will leave the capital tonight." ”

Diao Xiaosi was stunned and said: "It's only been a few days since I came back, why do you want to leave again, and where are you going this time?"

Bu Operator was silent for a moment, and replied: "I'm bored, I want to go for a walk." ”

Diao Xiaosi chuckled: "Coincidentally, I also have this intention, and I want you to follow the dart to Taiyuan for a spin." ”

Bu Operator shook his head and said, "I want to go alone." ”

Diao Xiaosi was stunned and said, "What are you for?" he looked at the face of the divination operator and said suspiciously: "You can't be in trouble, right?"

Bu Operator didn't answer, and thought: "If I hide it from him, it's not difficult, I'm afraid that person will find Liu Yuan......"

After thinking for a moment, he said slowly: "I got the news that the person who blinded me had returned from Tianzhu last month and was going to come to Chang'an to find me. ”

Diao Xiaosi slapped the table and shouted: "What, he blinded your eyes and dares to come to you again to make trouble? It's a big deal, let's join forces to do him! Who is he, the teacher will make the decision for you in this matter!"

Bu Operator said: "You can't deal with this person, his cultivation is higher than that of the old demon Yingyang, this time he came back from Tianzhu, I am afraid that he has broken through the realm of forgetfulness." ”

Diao Xiaosi blinked his eyes and said, "Why don't I go and discuss with Xiao San and the thief Lao Dao?"

Bu Operator shook his head and said: "It's useless, he is the elder of Emei Ci'en Temple, Duan Zhentian's teacher, the famous righteous path senior Jinding holy monk, Ye Fashan and Tang Heshang can't agree to help you deal with him." ”

Diao Xiaosi was taken aback and said, "How did you provoke the old monk of Emei Mountain?"

Bu Operator snorted and said, "Does this have anything to do with you?"

Diao Xiaosi said with a heartfelt voice: "Nonsense, you are my apprentice, how can you say that it doesn't matter?"

Bu Operator said lightly: "It's not early, I still have some things to pack, so I won't leave you." ”

Diao Xiaosi got up and pushed the door open, thought about it and turned around and said, "Set off early the day after tomorrow, I'll call you." ”

Bu Operator was stunned, Diao Xiaosi smiled and said: "Isn't it just an old bald donkey, Lao Tzu will bear it for you! Don't blame me for not reminding me, if you dare to leave as a teacher and sneak away, Lao Tzu will expel you from the division!"

Bu Operator was silent for a while and said, "Don't think that monks can't kill, you will die." ”

Diao Xiaosi said hesitantly: "I'm afraid that he is a bird, Lao Tzu's life is hard." If you want to move my apprentice, I'm not done with him!"
