Chivalrous Song Dynasty

If the other party wants to ask what to buy outside Dongcheng, just say that our family plans to go to Jingdong Mall to buy a pack of sanitary napkins for Concubine Wei Xian.

How dare the officer ask Concubine Wei Xian what she wants to buy?Hastily dodged to make way, "The only reason to block the city gate is to find Bai Sheng, please."

Bai Sheng was taken aback, wasn't he?Is it that easy to get out of town?In addition, the officer said "looking for" rather than arresting, why did he use such a neutral word?

However, he could only think that the officer had no culture, so he used the wrong word. Since he was released, why be polite?

Just as he was about to give the order to leave the city, a large wave of business travelers walked in from outside the city gate, blocking the way of the eunuch team.

The officer raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and shouted: "Get out of the way, make way for the nobleman!"

With this order, the sergeants guarding the city gate immediately stepped forward to maintain order, and drove the people entering the city to both sides of the city gate. However, one of the people entering the city refused to stand aside and moved away The former sergeant continued to walk in.

This man is seven feet five or six in stature, with a big green mark on his face and a little red beard on his cheeks.

He wears a Fanyang felt hat with a handful of red tassels sprinkled on the top of the hat.Wearing a white satin shirt with a collar, tied with a longitudinal silk sash, tied with blue and white stripes underneath, holding the trousers, deer leather socks, and cow-blade boots with fur.He carried a waist knife and a simple knife in his hand.

Bai Sheng recognized this person.Isn't this the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi?Is this coming back to sell knives?

The officer also recognized Yang Zhi, and greeted him: "Emissary Yang Zhi, why did you come back? The other nine envoys arrived a few years ago."

Yang Zhi sighed and said, "Don't mention it, the Huashigang boat escorted by the Sajia capsized in the canal, and I don't know what the Taiwei will do with the Sajia. Do you know where the Taiwei is now?"

The officer surnamed Wang said: "The Taiwei should be at Wang Shaobao's house, right? Brother, I don't know too well. There are nobles here who want to go out of the city. Please make way for envoy Yang Zhi."

Hearing this, Yang Zhi looked at the team of eunuchs headed by Bai Sheng, stood aside, and asked again: "Is this year's martial arts competition over? Who is the champion?"

The old king replied, "It's Bai Sheng."

Yang Zhi was stunned, and then asked again: "Bai Sheng? Haven't heard of this character, a local candidate? Which boxing gym did he come from?"

When Bai Sheng heard this, he didn't want to leave the city immediately, because he felt more and more that something was wrong, and the officer didn't seem hostile when he mentioned his name.He wanted to listen again to see what was going on.

But Lao Wang said with a smile: "Bai Sheng is a famous person in our Bianliang City. It is said that he is both civil and military, and has a wealth of wealth. He is a student of Grand Master Cai and a student of the Yuquan Gym. The Holy One made him a captain of the Imperial Martial Arts School, and the people sent him off. A nickname is Henan Timely Rain. You have been escorting Hua Shigang for a long time, and it is normal not to know these things."

Yang Zhidao: "There is such a person in the capital? Why hasn't the Sa family heard of it before? Is he really a disciple of the Yuquan Gym?"

Yang Zhi didn't believe that Bai Sheng was a disciple of the Yuquan Gym because he had just fought Lin Chong in Liangshanbo not long ago, and he knew that apart from Lin Chong, there was no one else in the Yuquan Gym who had the strength to win the champion of martial arts.

Of course, Lin Chong was already a grassroots bandit at this time, so he certainly wouldn't tell Lao Wang about his fight with Lin Chong before drinking, and he had to draw a clear line with the former coach Lin.

Old Wang said with some displeasure: "Can I still lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can ask others. Bai Sheng is the champion of martial arts hand-picked by the Holy One. Everyone in Bianliang City knows about it."

Yang Zhi was surprised and said: "Hand-picked? Isn't it a comparison? If the number one scholar can also be hand-picked, what's the use of martial arts? Wouldn't it be easy to appoint directly?"

The old king said: "You must be careful when you speak like this. Isn't the Holy One more sensible than our subjects? Then Bai Sheng is the best in the first two subjects." He described the legendary process of Bai Sheng's how to lift weights and how to shoot arrows. exaggeration.

Bai Sheng was even more surprised when he heard this, should this be an evaluation of the assassin by an officer who is arresting the assassin?He didn't want to leave even more, he had to listen and understand.

But Yang Zhi expressed his disbelief after hearing this: "Old Wang, you are blowing so loudly. How can there be a powerful man in this world? And how can he shoot a dull arrow at a mile away at night?"

The old king said angrily: "This is witnessed by hundreds of officials and even tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians. How can I brag? Do you think that you look down on this year's exam because you once won the sixth place in the martial arts exam? To tell you the truth, Even if the martial arts champion from the previous session participated in this martial arts competition, he would not be able to enter the top three."

The last martial arts exam was already ten years ago. At that time, Liao Daozong Yelu Hongji was preparing to attack the Southern Dynasty, and Yanmen Pass was frequently fired, so the Song Dynasty held the martial arts exam to prepare for the battle.

Unexpectedly, the Liao army was persuaded to retreat by a great hero at the cost of his own life, and the war did not happen.The imperial court arranged the candidates who were listed in the martial arts examination into the forbidden army.

At that time, Yang Zhi came to Beijing from his hometown Linzhou not long ago. He originally wanted to recognize his ancestors and return to Tianbo Yang's mansion, but the head of the Yang family who was in charge of Tianbo Yang's mansion at that time was unwilling to accept him, so he angrily participated in the martial arts examination and won Got No.6.

Later, he became an officer in the army, and after going through official positions such as Tijutsu and Duyuhou, he finally became an envoy in Dianqiansi.

I wanted to let the people in Tianbo Yang's mansion see that I, Yang Zhi, can still feel proud without being affected by my ancestors.Unexpectedly, a birthmark on his face would affect his appearance, even if he became an envoy, he would not be welcomed by Captain Gao, and would always be assigned some dirty and thankless work.

Half a year ago, he was ordered to go to Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau to escort Hua Shigang back to Beijing, which was one of the dirty jobs, because Suzhou, like Jiankang Mansion, was like a naked girl lying in front of a strong man, lying in front of Fang La's army, always ready possibility of being compromised.

As an officer of the Forbidden Army, he is in danger of dying in Suzhou once he encounters a war.Fortunately, the yellow clothes sent by the imperial court blocked the Demon Cult's invasion of Jiankang Mansion. If not, Fang La would definitely attack Suzhou after occupying Jiankang. I'm afraid that Suzhou would fall before Yingfeng Bureau gathered Hua Shigang.

But Suzhou is always dangerous.Jiankang has Huang Shang, but Suzhou does not have a mainstay-like strongman. It is not ruled out that Fang La will keep Jiankang and not fight, and only attack Suzhou.As the rumors spread, rich families in Suzhou were also moving to Shandong.

But the real situation is that because Fang La came to Bianjing to rescue Fang Qifo and search for Bai Sheng but failed, so he never attacked Suzhou during the period before the Spring Festival. was able to escape from danger by chance.

Of course, Yang Zhi didn't know why Fang La didn't attack Suzhou, he just felt dissatisfied with Lao Wang's evaluation, and said: "Let me put it this way, all the candidates in this martial arts competition have become gods. When I meet Bai Sheng, I must ask for advice."

Chapter 343 Preordering the Precious Sword

Yang Zhi is a person who thinks that his talents are underappreciated. If he puts it in an ugly way, he is pretentious.

He is Yang Jiye, that is, Yang Wudi, the eighth generation Yun grandson of Yang Lao Linggong of Tianbo Yang Mansion.It has been 120 years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty by the great ancestor Zhao Kuangyin, and the Yang Jiye family who followed Zhao Kuangyin to conquer the world has also multiplied for eight generations.

Yang Jiye's son was known as seven wolves and eight tigers, and most of them were killed by the Liao State on Jinshatan in order to protect Emperor Taizong.Later, Goro disappeared, and Shiro Hachiro lived in Fanbang.Only Liulang Yang Yanzhao was left to pass down the blood of the Yang family.

Yang Liulang's son is Yang Zongbao, Yang Zongbao's son is Yang Wenguang, and Yang Zhi's grandfather Yang Huaiyu is Yang Wenguang's son.

Back then, Yang Wenguang was a general under the command of Fan Zhongyan and Di Qing. He was appointed by Fan Zhongyan and Di Qing to guard Bingzhou, and gave birth to his son Yang Huaiyu in Bingzhou.

Yang Wenguang married a total of nineteen wives and concubines in his life, and there were quite a few sons. The sons of the concubine stayed in the Tianbo Yang Mansion in the capital with the mother of the main wife to inherit the ancestral business, while the sons of the concubine had to go back to their hometown in Linzhou with the mother of the concubine.

Although Yang Zhi is indeed a descendant of Yang Jiye, his status in the family is very humble.His humble status shaped his character of pursuing fair treatment. From childhood to adulthood, he hated the unfairness in competition the most.

On the one hand, he feels that he is a descendant of a famous family, on the one hand he resents the injustice of fate, on the other hand he wants to honor his ancestors, on the other hand he feels that the court is dark, and his superiors do not know people well, suppressing talents.

So after hearing about Bai Sheng's deeds, he felt that Bai Sheng, the No. [-] martial artist must be a product of fraud, and then declared that he would compete with Bai Sheng, but he didn't know that Bai Sheng was standing in front of him.

Hearing Yang Zhi's rhetoric, Bai Sheng only felt a little depressed. It seems that these Tiangang characters really count as one, and none of them get along with him!Ruan Xiaowu, Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Wu Song and the others are just fine, you dark star Yang Zhi also has trouble with me, why did I provoke you?

If Li Kui, Dai Zong and Zhang Shun made things difficult for him because of their friendship with Song Jiang, and Xu Ning chased and killed him because he hugged Zhao Ji's thigh, then what are you, Yang Zhi?

He was considering whether to give Yang Zhi some punishment, but he heard the officer surnamed Wang say: "Forget it, Yang Zhishi, you are not his opponent. Zhan Fu Zhan Shou and Bai Sheng both lost in the martial arts competition, do you think you can beat these three?"

"What? There is such a thing?" Yang Zhi seemed a little surprised, but he still refused to accept it: "These three people may not be stronger than Lin Chong, right? Then how did Bai Sheng win? Was it a sparring?"

Lao Wang shook his head and said, "That's not true, I heard it's a unique skill."

Yang Zhi let out a long breath, and said: "Then it doesn't explain the problem even more. In short, when the Sa family meets Bai Sheng, they must ask a few tricks to see if he is a fake martial arts champion."

Hearing this, Bai Sheng suddenly had an idea, and greeted Yang Zhi, "You are Yang Zhishi from the Dianqian Division, right?"

Yang Zhi turned his head to look at Bai Sheng, and said, "Exactly, what advice does the nobleman have?"

The officer surnamed Wang also felt that there was something strange, he advised Yang Zhi and the merchants to stand by the roadside and wait for the group of eunuchs to leave the city, but for some reason the eunuchs didn't move, he couldn't urge him if he didn't leave, right?So he also looked at Bai Sheng, wanting to hear what he had to say.

But Bai Sheng took out three huge ingots of gold ingots from his sleeve, each ingot seemed to be no less than 50 taels, and handed them to Yang Zhi.

Yang Zhi refused to pick it up with a blank face, and asked, "What's the meaning?"

Bai Sheng smiled and said, "I'll buy this treasured sword on your body."

The treasured knife that Yang Zhi carried with him was an ancestral item, and it was Yang Jiye's personal sharp weapon when the Song Dynasty was founded.
