Chapter 5 Meeting guests in the front hall

After this incident, Zhao Tong no longer thought about going to Zhouqiao. He walked around the house, and his heart was full of twists and turns.

Ever since he traveled through this dynasty and learned about his identity and background, he has been planning silently. He started from a young age, composing poems at the age of five, writing lyrics at the age of six, analyzing strategies at the age of seven, practicing martial arts at the age of eight, hanging out in the market, relying on his identity to fight against injustice.

.

He became a disciple of Zhou Tong and became successful in martial arts at the age of twelve. He made friends with courtiers at the age of thirteen. He secretly organized the Broken Jade Tower at the age of fourteen and made friends with heroes all over the world. At the age of sixteen, he used all his means to promote himself to the bodyguard and army department.

This step by step was done with great care, meticulousness, and painstaking efforts, so much so that he felt a little numb all over.

Zhao Tong returned to the study and opened a red sandalwood box. Inside was pink Xue Tao's paper. Each page had small characters and symbols that only he could understand. This was a plan for the future.

He sat upright in the chair, reached out and took out a small piece of cashmere, and began to write something. After he finished writing, he threw it into the box and locked it with a "snap".

Then Zhao Tong slumped down in the chair, collapsed from top to bottom, as if he had no bones, and he fell asleep like this. He slept soundly, You Meng Returns Home, Tong Tong's Past, Cram School

Summer camp, by the Weiming Lake, long hair and yellow skirt, full moon, beautiful flowers, short flute and long flute...

In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed. In the early morning of this day, Zhao Tong called Lei San and handed over a letter, saying: "Send it to Huang Gu, the owner of Suiyu Tower, and order him to send someone to report to Huang Gu, the Fujian Road pacifier."

It must be kept secret, and if it is not done thoroughly, it must be destroyed and not allowed to be seen by others.”

Lei San took the order and was about to leave, but he turned around but was stopped by Zhao Tao: "Now that we are going to the building, let Jian Suyi check the past of the sons of Gao Qiu's family and report any scandals."

.”

Lei San was startled when he heard this, and after a while he thought for a while and said: "My dear husband, you don't need to ask Jian Nuxia about this matter, my subordinates already know the general idea. Gao Qiu doesn't have many sons. He only has one adopted son, his adopted son."

My uncle’s cousin is called Gaokan, but the people in Tokyo don’t like him, so they call him Huahua Taisui, also known as Gaoyanei!”

One of them is trembling, old and decayed, holding a bird stick in his hand. He looks like an old man. He is wearing a bright red Sichuan brocade robe, but the clothes are full of wrinkles. At first sight, he looks like something from the bottom of the box.

Lei San left with confusion, leaving Zhao Tong alone in the study. He was stunned for a moment and said to himself: "This is wrong after all, why is it so?"

The young man was shy and didn't know how to reply. He was so angry that the old captain banged his cane, almost knocking off the bird's head at the head of the sword. Then he realized that Zhao Tong was beside him, so he couldn't help but accuse him repeatedly.

He and the old lieutenant sat down on the chair. The young man saw Dali again in front of him. Zhao Tong smiled and said, "But he looked heroic."

Zhao Tong read Eunuch Mi's letter and knew that the old man surnamed Hong in front of him was serving as a lieutenant in front of the palace. He was not the commander of the front department and was awarded the title of captain, otherwise he would not have been in such a state of decline.

Zhao Tong heard this and asked curiously: "But Tong Daofu's godfather Li Xian?"

Zhao Tong persuaded him and chatted with the old lieutenant about the old events of the Renzong Dynasty. Suddenly, he mentioned Eunuch Mi. The old lieutenant said that Mi Zhenting was great at martial arts and proficient in spears and sticks, not inferior to Li Xian. In terms of longevity, Li Xian was the best.

And it's far out of reach.

Zhao Tao looked at Lei San with an expressionless face. Lei San was born and raised in Tokyo. Although he was a local snake, he had a somewhat chivalrous heart. He accidentally beat someone to death when he saw an injustice on the road and was sent to prison. After being rescued by Zhao Tao, he was loyal for a while.

two.

At this moment, a housekeeper suddenly came to report that someone outside the house had sent a greeting card.

After drinking the Xiaolong Tuan, the old Taiwei was full of emotion and said that Emperor Renzong once rewarded five cakes, which he still cannot forget.

The old man's eyes were cloudy. He looked at a person sitting on the chair in front of him. He was a young man in silver robes and had an aura of dust. He was a little excited. He threw away the young man's arm, fell down and wanted to worship, and shouted in his mouth: "In the past, I was in front of the palace, and I paid my respects to Hong Xin.

His Royal Highness, King Qi."

"Little...little Xianggong." Lei San scratched his head and said dullly: "Gao Qiu has no children. Many people know this, even the people in the city have heard about it. Gao Qiu was the official's personal attendant when he stayed in his residence.

I expected that my young husband is no stranger to me, how could I forget him?"

Zhao Tong said: "I've always heard that Eunuch Mi practiced martial arts, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful. Li Xian was invincible in the north back then, so it seems that Eunuch Mi has been hiding his clumsiness in recent years."

There are roughly three places to meet guests in the palace, which are the front, middle and back halls. However, it cannot be said that one is favored over the other. It is just that the relationship is different, and there is a distinction between distance and distance. The front hall is the place to meet foreign guests, but the middle hall is where confidants can be.

In the past, as for the back hall, only relatives would go there.

Lei San was so stared at by Zhao Tong that his heart went crazy and he said bravely: "But it's like this. My subordinates definitely don't dare to lie about this kind of thing. And although Gao Kan is his cousin, there are rumors that he is a cousin."

When Gao Qiu was young, he had an affair with his aunt and took him as his adopted son because of his talent and regardless of ethics."

The other person was a young man, who looked to be no more than thirteen or fourteen years old. Although he had an ordinary appearance, he had a strong waist and stable legs, and a piercing gaze. When Zhao Tong saw him, he could naturally see that he was used to using guns and sticks, and he was quite capable.

foundation.

The front hall was quite large and the interior was also gorgeous. After Zhao Tong ordered two small dragon balls to be brewed, the butler introduced the two of them within a short time.

Zhao Tong had a strange look on his face, and after a while he exhaled and waved his hands, "You just go and let's let this matter go."

Zhao Tong said slowly: "Gao Qiu has no children, only his adopted son Gao Kan, who is his adoptive uncle's cousin?"

The old lieutenant said: "This is the man who is not only a great leader, but also has unparalleled martial arts skills. Mi Zhenting must not be weak to him."

He signaled his personal attendants to help the old lieutenant, and said: "Excuse me, there is no need for such courtesy. Old lieutenant, please sit down and talk."

Zhao Tong ordered the housekeeper to fetch the note and opened it. It turned out that it was the old lieutenant whom Eunuch Mi had said had arrived. He then ordered the housekeeper to spread the word and make an appointment to meet in the front hall.

Zhao Tong frowned slightly when he heard this, held the table with his palms, leaned forward slightly, and said, "Lei San, what did you say? Didn't Gao Qiu have three sons, two of whom are officials?"

Zhao Tong was no stranger to him, but in his past life memory, the history books recorded that Gao Qiu had three sons. This was definitely not wrong, and even if it was wrong, it would only be more, not less. Therefore, he had preconceptions about the Gao Qiu family and never investigated it carefully.

Zhao Tong then laughed and said that there were many more in the house, so he would take five loaves when he left. When the old lieutenant heard this, he burst into tears.

The old lieutenant said: "Mi Zhenting didn't like the court. Although he was famous at that time, decades later, no one spread it, so it stopped spreading."

Zhao Tong nodded and looked at the young man behind the old lieutenant. This boy was the great-grandson of the old lieutenant, named Xuanyang, and ranked seventh among his peers. This time, the old lieutenant sacrificed his face and came to Tokyo just to seek a better life for his great-grandson.

, Zhao Tong said: "Xuan Yang, let me ask you, how are your martial arts skills?"

The young man blushed and said: "Return to what King Qi said, ordinary people can defeat ten enemies!"

Zhao Tong held up his palm and said: "Miaoye, you are now the commander of ten husbands, but I don't want you to join the imperial army. I want you to be my personal attendant first. Are you willing?"
