treacherous world

The fourth son took the apricot branch that Bai Yutang gave him in his hand. The branch was almost as tall as him. He looked up at Tang Shitou and Bai Yutang, not knowing what to do.

"But, the fourth son doesn't know martial arts, right?" Pang Yu asked Bao Yan from behind, "How do you hit it? It's soft like a bun. If it hurts an inch of skin, it won't hurt to death."

Pang Yu spoke a little louder, and the fourth son squinted his eyes and turned around, and dared to call him a bun!

Zhan Zhao brought a few plates of snacks from the kitchen, and sat at the stone table to feed the stone and the scissors. He had to stabilize these two first, otherwise, they would have to help the fourth son after a fight.

Gongsun also asked Zhao Pu, "The fourth son knows how to do two sets of Tai Chi for health, how can he fight Tang Shitou?"

On the roof, the shadow guards squatted on both sides and stretched their necks to watch. Zi Ying poked Zhe Ying, "Zhe smart, where's my snack?"

Zhe Ying took out Zi Ying's snacks from her bosom.

Zi Ying asked with a walnut cake in her mouth, "Aside from knowing two sets of Tai Chi, what else can little four do?"

"When Xiao Liangzi was learning Kung Fu, he would occasionally fiddle with it a few times, but it was just for posing. You also know that Xiao Sizi has short legs and short feet." Zhe Ying tutted twice.

"Yeah, I can't kick my legs, I'll hit my stomach."

"When you count three squatting steps, your legs will go weak."

"Yeah, there is too much meat on the little fist, it looks like a dough ball."

"I usually move too little, and I need to be hugged after a few steps."

The few shadow guards talked more and more vigorously, the fourth son raised his face and glanced faintly——I hate it!He heard it all.

Tang Shitou looked at Bai Yutang amusedly from the side, and thought to himself, how could such a little guy like the fourth son be able to beat him?

Bai Yutang took his time, sat down on the stone stool next to Zhan Zhao, and waved to the fourth son.

The fourth son trotted over, pouted his mouth.

Bai Yutang patted his head and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to win?"

"I think!" The fourth son nodded unhappily. Although he knew he couldn't win, everyone looked down on him. How annoying!

Bai Yutang whispered a few words in his ear.

The fourth son tilted his head, "Just Jiangzi?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "Yes."

"Hmm." The fourth son nodded, ran over, and stood in front of Tang Shitou.

Tang Shi looked down at the fourth son, and said, "Don't be afraid, fourth son, I won't hurt you!"

The fourth son puffed his cheeks, "The stone may not win!"

Shi Shi was eating snacks, when the fourth son called him, he turned his head, Bai Yutang reached out and touched its ears.

Shi Shi immediately became obsessed, it liked Bai Yutang the most, so it leaned over to rub it.Scissors hurriedly followed the stone to watch the stone, lest it be "sexed", so the two couldn't care about the fourth son.

The fourth son held the branch and stared at Tang Shitou's knee.

Tang Shitou knew that the fourth son was so short that he would definitely attack his lower body, so he lowered his center of gravity. He thought that as long as the branch in his hand could reach the instep, it would be impossible for the fourth son to hurt himself.

Ouyang Shaozheng ran over to be the referee, standing between the two, "Get ready...start!"

As soon as he started, he stepped aside, and the fourth son raised the branch and rushed towards Tang Shitou.

Tang Shitou saw that he was really coming towards his lower body, stretched out his arms and covered his legs with branches.The fourth son came up to him, holding a branch in his hand, and stabbed him in the direction of his stomach.But Tang Shitou blocked it a long time ago, seeing that the fourth son was acting funny, he wanted to laugh.

But I heard the fourth son suddenly say, "Miao Miao and Bai Bai are going to get married!"

"Pfft..." Zhan Zhao spat out a mouthful of tea.

"what?"

Tang Shitou was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly the little fourth son picked up a branch, piercing Tang Shitou's face.

When Tang Shitou came back to his senses, the branch was almost in front of his eyes. At this time, his center of gravity was too low, and the knife had a flaw. He went straight, and he forcibly pulled the branch back. up.

Only then did Tang Shitou realize that it was a branch and not a knife, and he took a step to the side as soon as he tilted his body.He wanted to stabilize, but he didn't expect the little four to rush up.

Tang Shitou wanted to exert strength, but found that he couldn't exert strength. It turned out that if he strode forward with his waist bent, he would not be able to exert strength when he fell backwards.Therefore, even if he only had the weight of the little fourth son, and he threw himself on him, he could only take advantage of the trend and fall to the ground.

Tang Shitou fell on his back, and the branch of the fourth son was already resting on his neck.

= 0 =

Everyone, including Xiao Sizi himself, was shocked.

Kageemon was squatting in two rows on the roof at this time, like a frog watching a bug, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Wow!"

After a long time, the fourth son understood, got up and ran back cheering, "Little Liangzi Xiaoliangzi, I won!"

Xiao Liang stretched out his arms and hugged him in circles, "Jin'er is so good! You beat him beautifully!"

Yingweimen burst into tears on the roof, Ouyang patted Zhao Pu on the shoulder, "That's great, Marshal, you still have hope!"

The corner of Zhao Pu's mouth twitched, but the little four played well. Although the victory was a coincidence, but...Zhao Pu looked at Bai Yutang who was eating snacks and chatting with Zhan Zhao.Smiling secretly in his heart, this person is too smart.

Tang Shitou got up from the ground after a long time, looked at Bai Yutang and said, "He is cheating."

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, "Soldiers never tire of cheating."

"Again, I don't believe that he can win!" Tang Shitou felt very useless in losing.

"Who told you to be careless? There is only one match. If you were holding a knife just now, you are already dead. Do you have to get up and try again?" Bai Yutang replied coldly, "This is what it feels like to lose. Go back and have a good time." Reflect on it, if you lose tomorrow, there will be more people laughing at you."

"I..." Tang Shitou stomped hard, "I won't lose!"

After finishing speaking, he ran away blushing.

"Tsk tsk." Zhan Zhao peeled a loquat aside and shook his head, looking at Bai Yutang, "You are so strict."

Bai Yutang took the knife in one hand, stood up, "Does a strict master produce high-level apprentices?" After speaking, he went back to the room.

Zhan Zhao happily followed, "Do you want to comfort him personally?"

Bai Yutang shrugged, and had already entered the yard.

On the roof, Ziying curled her lips, "Tch, that boy Bai Yutang is still so cruel that it makes people uncomfortable."

Zhe Ying smiled, "He did find out all Tang Shitou's weaknesses."

"Then can't you talk about it properly." Ziying wrinkled her nose, "Anyway, I'm not happy."

Gongsun looked at Zhao Pu and said in a low voice, "Tomorrow is the match. The stone seems to have been hit. He is so dumb, can he turn the corner?"

Zhao Pu smiled, "Bai Yutang has good intentions, if Tang Shitou can't figure it out, he is not worthy to be his apprentice." After speaking, he took Gongsun back to the house.

Xiao Liang also put down the fourth son, the smile on the face of the fourth son was gone, everyone dispersed in the yard, the fourth son seemed to have something on his mind as he stroked his chin.

"Jin'er, go back to sleep." Xiao Liang poked him.

"Hmm...Xiao Liangzi, Shitou seemed to have lost face just now." The fourth son asked, "Shall I comfort him?"

Xiao Liang touched the fourth son's head, "Do you want to go by yourself, or should I go with you?"

"Hmm..." The fourth son thought for a while, "I'll go by myself."

Xiao Liang nodded, and sat at the table with rock-scissors, "I'll wait for you here."

"En." The fourth son turned around and went to Tang Shitou's yard.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the yard and looked in, he saw Tang Shitou standing by the well, leaning his head down towards the mouth of the well.

The fourth son was startled, rushed over and yelled, "Stone! Hey!" and rushed forward to hug him.

Tang Shitou made him jump again and again in fright, and almost fell directly into the well. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, supported the wall of the well with one hand and raised it back, sat down on the edge of the well, and looked at the fourth son in horror, "Wow, little boy!" Four sons, what are you doing?"

"You can't figure it out!" The fourth son said seriously, "It was a coincidence just now, it only happened once!"

Tang Shitou stared at Xiao Sizi for a while, smiled, and sat by the well, picked him up and put him on his knees, "Little Sizi, do you think I will jump into the well if I can't figure it out?"

"Hmm!" Little Four nodded, "Otherwise, why are you standing by the well?"

Tang Shitou thought for a while, "I just walked to the well, wanted to splash water on my face to calm down, and suddenly remembered a story that smelly old man once told me."

"What story?" The fourth son took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, and there were some snacks in it, and shared it with Tang Shitou to eat.

"There is a frog who has been sitting in a well, and the sky he sees is always as big as the mouth of the well, so he thinks that the world is only as big as the well."

"A frog at the bottom of the well!" The fourth son smiled and nodded, "Well, I've heard of it too."

Tang Shitou raised his face to look at the starry sky above his head, and suddenly laughed, "The smelly old man is right, you have to go outside to know how big the world is and how useless you are!"

The fourth son also looked up at the stars, "Well! The stone is actually very powerful, as long as you are careful not to underestimate the enemy, you won't lose again next time!"

Tang Shitou nodded, with a different light in his eyes, and muttered to himself, "Little four, it feels so sad to lose, especially when you lose to someone who shouldn't lose. It turns out that the loser is going to be laughed at by others. I can't be reconciled." My intestines are rumbling!"

The fourth son grinned sullenly, and patted him, "Stupid, the intestines are rumbling because I'm hungry!"

As he said that, the fourth son jumped off his knees and stretched out his hand to pull him, "Go, let the kitchen lady make fried noodles!"

"Fried noodles?"

"Yeah, the first-class fried noodles made by the kitchen aunt in Kaifeng Mansion are the best in the world, and you can't even eat them in the palace!" The fourth son dragged Tang Shitou, who had regained his spirit, and ran away happily.

In the distance, Zhan Zhao, who was peeking from behind the corridor, waved and waved to Bai Yutang beside him, "I'm enlightened!"

Bai Yutang folded his arms and looked at him, "Cat, don't you say you're hungry, why don't you leave?"

"Don't be so serious, Master Bai." Zhan Zhao pulled his arm and smiled, "I want to eat Yipin fried noodles too!"

Bai Yutang looked helplessly at his teasing face, leaned over, and asked in a low voice, "I want to eat cats, will you give it?"

"Here!" Zhan Zhao sent Xiaohu to Bai Yutang's face, Bai Yutang frowned and mouthed cat fur.

Zhan Zhao walked away happily, stretching his waist, "Go to bed early after eating supper, and watch Tang Shitou kill all directions tomorrow, ha!"

Bai Yutang helplessly carried Xiaohu.

Being carried, Xiaohu looked at Bai Yutang aggrievedly, and meowed twice.

Bai Yutang flicked its head, "Stupid cat! Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?"

The little tiger meowed.

Bai Yutang nodded, "Sure enough, you're pretending to be stupid!"

That night, Tang Shitou ate two large plates of Yipin fried noodles, took a nice bath, lay down and fell asleep. In his sleep, he muttered something.

Bai Yutang coincidentally "woke up" in the middle of the night, passed by the door of his house, listened at the window with his ear sideways, and heard that lunatic talking in his sleep.

It said, "Don't lose, don't get caught, don't get distracted, don't underestimate the enemy..."

Bai Yutang twitched his lips, and coincidentally forgot what he was going to do "wake up at night", and went back to sleep.

On the roof, Zi Ying, who was in charge of the night watch, took a picture of Zhe Ying while biting the midnight snack, "Hey, Zhe is smart."

Zhe Ying was looking up at the stars in the sky, "Huh?"

"That boy Bai Yutang is a good guy." Zi Ying clicked his tongue twice, "But it's kind of awkward, I have to pretend to be a bad guy to do good things, just like the previous few times."

"En." Zhe Ying then nodded.

"He and Zhan Zhao are quite compatible, right?" Ziying continued, "In my mind, the two are second only to Marshal and Mr. Gongsun in their degree of compatibility."

"En." Zhe Ying then nodded.

"Hello!" Ziying patted him, "Why are you in a daze?"

Zhe Ying smiled, did not speak, and continued to look at the stars in the sky.

"It's boring!" Ziying also turned over, lying on the roof side by side with him to look at the stars.

"Zi Ying." Zhe Ying suddenly called out.

"Why are you calling her by her first and last name?!" Ziying trembled.

Zhe Ying smiled, "I just discovered that the stars in Kaifeng are the same as those in the desert."

"Nonsense." Ziying turned over and continued to eat snacks, "Where are the stars different!"

"That's right." Zhe Ying closed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth, feeling the cool night wind in Kaifeng, this was the first time she felt so happy after leaving the desert.

Early the next morning, when everyone got up, they saw Tang Shitou and Xiao Liang practicing swords side by side in the courtyard. Zhao Pu was very pleased with their seriousness.

After breakfast, Tang Shitou sat in the yard and meditated, as if he was thinking about something.

The fourth son couldn't understand, Pang Yu poked Bao Yan, "Oh, bookworm, guess what Tang Shitou is thinking?"

Bao Yan shook his head, "Well... I don't know, his head is different from that of ordinary people, so I can't figure it out."

The meditation ended after half an hour, and everyone left Kaifeng mansion and rushed to the examination room.

There are two games this morning, and two winners will be determined to participate in the final decisive battle in the afternoon.

In this last match, Zhao Zhen will also be there to watch the battle in person. Zhao Zhen has heard Nangong Ji say that Tang Shitou, Bai Yutang's apprentice, is the number one candidate, and he is very satisfied.He specifically asked Bao Zheng Tang Shitou about his personality and whether he had any strengths.Bao Zheng gave Zhao Zhen a comment, "A person who will never lie."

Zhao Zhen immediately looked at her with admiration, but too few people have this advantage!

The number of spectators on the field was nearly double that of yesterday, and there were many people watching outside. Pang Fu, Bai Fu and Bao Fu had come to occupy their seats early in the morning, and Bai Yutang and the others sat in yesterday's seats again.

Just as he sat down, Zhan Zhao lightly knocked Bai Yutang with his elbow, "Oh, look."

Bai Yutang looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that Shi Tianqiong brought a large number of people, Tianlong Villa also brought a large number of people, and Chai Xing also brought a lot of Jianghu people to watch the battle.

At this time, the handicap is the lowest in Yueyang, and the other Tang Shitou, Shi Tianjie and Shen Bo'e are all about the same.

Shi Tianjie and Shen Bo'e also brought strong support.

Zhan Zhao asked Zhao Pu in a low voice, "Has Cen Lin recruited?"

Zhao Pu shook his head, "It seems that he wants to carry it alone."

"So stupid?" Zhan Zhao frowned.

"The most worrying thing now is when the 'good day and auspicious day' will be," Gongsun said, "how can the world be in chaos."

"There are only a few reasons for the chaos in the world." Bai Yutang said in a low voice, "Let's rule it out."

"Hmm." Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "Military disasters are everywhere?"

Zhao Pu shook his head slightly, "My Great Song Dynasty has a solid foundation, and the group of foreigners are really not free recently, so there is no possibility of a big war."

Zhan Zhao nodded and thought for a while, "Natural disaster?"

Gongsun also shook his head, "I have been watching the stars at night for the past few days. The weather has been smooth recently, and there are no major disasters."

"What is that?" Zhan Zhao couldn't figure it out, "If the day is auspicious, it means the day has already been fixed!"

"There may be other circumstances." Zhao Pu whispered, "For example, one day, Zhao Zhen and I died or something."

"Hey!" Gongsun pushed Zhao Pu, "Don't talk nonsense."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned slightly - if this is the case, then it is absolutely possible, but...is it possible to kill Zhao Pu and Zhao Zhen at the same time?

Just thinking about it, there was a "bang", and the gong sounded.

The first game is over.

Shi Tianjie and Shen Bo'e decided the winner, and Shen Boye only lost to Shi Tianjie with one move.

Zhan Zhao said in a low voice, "Shen Bo'e Kung Fu should be better than Shi Tianjie, is that interesting?"

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, "Shen Bo'e has a lot of experience in Jianghu, if he fights with Tang Shitou, he still has something to look at, but with Shi Tianjie... the chances of losing are just bigger!"

At this time, Tang Shitou and Yue Yang entered the ring, and it was the second match.

Yue Yang bowed his hands to Tang Shitou, "Uncle Master Master."

Although he called out his seniority, the smile on his face didn't seem to be ridiculed.

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Oh, this junior of the Tianshan School is incredible."

Bai Yutang didn't say anything, he noticed the expressions of Tianshan faction Hengfeng and others at this moment, he had seen it since yesterday, Hengfeng and others didn't seem excited about Yue Yang's victory, not even happy, they only saw and didn't communicate.The Tianshan School has a close relationship with each other, because the head master and senior elder brothers are all old men, and they love the younger generation very much. This situation is a bit unusual.

Tang Shitou felt that Yue Yang was about the same age as himself, anyway, he didn't know his seniority, so he just signed up, "My name is Tang Shitou, and I'm also from the Tianshan School."

Yue Yang smiled, "Uncle Master, how about I make a bet with you?"

Tang Shitou didn't reply, but just observed Yue Yang carefully, telling himself in his heart, don't underestimate the enemy, and don't fall for it.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yue Yang continued to ask, "Uncle Master, how long have you been learning Kung Fu?"

Tang Shitou is straight-hearted, he can only think of one thing, when he heard him ask, he shook his head, "I don't know."

Yue Yang smiled, "I have been in the Tianshan School for a year, and I didn't know kung fu a year ago."

As soon as Yue Yang's words came out, everyone in the audience whispered, "This kid is amazing, he has achieved so much after only one year of study, he is really talented."

"Oh?" Zhan Zhao also nodded, "The talent is really not bad! I don't think anyone from the Tianshan School can beat him except Yue Feng, right?"

Bai Yutang shook his head slightly, always feeling that something was wrong.

Seeing Bai Yutang's expression, Zhan Zhao knew what he might have discovered.

Seeing that Yue Yang had finished speaking, Tang Shitou asked, "Can I fight?"

Yue Yang smiled, "I'm talking about betting."

"Bet?" Tang Shitou was puzzled, "What is the bet?"

"If you lose, can you give me Master?" Yue Yang asked with a smile.

"Master?" Tang Shitou was taken aback for a moment before realizing that his master was Bai Yutang.

Everyone in the audience was also shocked, Zhan Zhao squinted his eyes and looked at Bai Yutang, "Ah, the descendants of the Tianshan School are really too much to bear."

Bai Yutang sneered, sitting there watching the situation on the stage, he noticed that Hengfeng and others were walking behind him, with a very ugly expression on his face.

"Why do you want him here?" Tang Shitou was puzzled, "He has a bad temper and is very picky eater, his speech is annoying and he looks like I am the best in the world except Zhan Zhao. If you want to marry Big Brother Zhan, it's useless for you to go!"

"Ahem..." Zhan Zhao choked on the tea.

In the Martial Arts Arena, there was an uproar.

Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to support his forehead, and sighed, why did he accept such a stupid apprentice.Zhao Pu smiled gloatingly, Gongsun looked at him helplessly, this man seemed to have forgotten that the fourth son was responsible for their marriage.

This time the martial arts arena was very lively, and the examiner yelled several times before calming everyone down.

Yue Yang smiled, "I'm here to learn Kung Fu, I don't need to do anything else."

Tang Shitou seemed to understand, "Oh, he is a good master, you can just ask him if he will accept you, why let me let you go? I will continue to learn from him, besides, the master's obeisance is a lifetime. Things, how come and go, he will hack me to death."

"Shitou is right." The fourth son clapped his hands below.

Yue Yang looked at Tang Shitou in surprise, and smiled, "There can only be one number one in the world."

Tang Shitou frowned, what did this man say?

Bai Yutang suddenly whispered to Zhan Zhao, "Take what I said yesterday, as if I didn't say it?"

"What?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "You talk to me a lot every day."

"He's like you." Bai Yutang said flatly.

"Have you ever said that?" Zhan Zhao smirked, "I haven't felt it since yesterday."

Bai Yutang twitched the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that the two chatted endlessly, the examiner asked, "Can we start?"

Tang Shitou nodded, he was already impatient.

Yue Yang took the knife and walked to the side, and when he drew it out, it shook in the air, dazzling.

Zhan Zhao was startled, and finally understood what was wrong, "It's different from yesterday's one, this kid is keeping his back!"

"Yue Feng's Asking Heavenly Knife." Bai Yutang frowned, and looked back at the three old men of the Tianshan faction standing behind him, "What's going on?"

Hengfeng said in a low voice, "A young boy came here a year ago, he didn't know kung fu at all, and he was a miscellaneous disciple of the youngest generation in the Tianshan sect...but this kid is extremely talented and intelligent. He learned kung fu all the way, and he fought with the Tianshan sect all the way. Brothers and sisters compete with each other, if you win, you will ask for the master of others, if you win the master, you will ask for the master's master, until he wins the head of the sect, he will ask for his Wentian Saber."

The smile on Bai Yutang's face disappeared, "What about Yuefeng?"

"The head is seriously injured and is practicing in closed doors."

Zhan Zhao and Zhao Pu looked at each other and looked at Hengfeng together. What happened? !I thought Yue Yang was Yue Feng's grandson, but it seems not!

"Why didn't you tell me?" Bai Yutang frowned. Although he never asked about the Tianshan faction, these old men treated him well, and the Tianshan faction was a great sect. There were only two martial arts masters, and he For Bai Yutang to be bullied like this, it's hard for his teacher's nephew.

Hengfeng's face was blushing, "Your face is dull, your face is dull!"

Bai Yutang nodded, seeing that the stage was about to start, he suddenly called out, "Silly boy."

Everyone was stunned, Tang Shitou turned his face to watch the audience, Bai Yutang usually called him an idiot or a fool, and he was used to it.

As soon as Bai Yutang raised his hand, Tang Shitou subconsciously took it. In his hand was a silver knife, which belonged to Bai Yutang.

The whole body of this knife is silvery white, and the white jade scabbard is inlaid with simple and simple silver patterns.Holding the knife in his hand, Tang Shitou looked at his own broken knife, and then at Bai Yutang in surprise.This is an ancient artifact, and Bai Yutang never leaves his body. Everyone knows that the best swordsmen will not lend their swords to others easily.

Bai Yutang ordered lightly, "Beat him within three moves."

After Tang Shitou heard this, he nodded seriously. He also found this kid a bit distasteful!

Yue Yang frowned, turned to look at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang said unhurriedly, "Boy, if you lose, keep the Wentian Knife, it's not something you can take."

"What if I win?" Yue Yang asked with a smile, "Are you willing to accept me as an apprentice and teach me your lifelong skills?"

Bai Yutang shook his head, very firmly, "You can't win."

Yue Yang couldn't help laughing, "Just this silly boy? Why can't he do it?"

Bai Yutang was too lazy to answer.

Zhan Zhao smiled gently, with a hint of slyness in his eyes, and helped to answer, "Bai Yutang chooses the best apprentices, of course."

"Yeah! Baibai only wants the best, and my apprentice is." Sitting on Zhan Zhao's lap, the fourth son said with a smile, "Meow Meow too!"

Zhan Zhao quickly covered his mouth.

The people below who were dumbfounded began to whisper again, "It seems to be true! I don't know if there will be a wedding banquet in Kaifeng Mansion?"
