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 three, writing lyrics at the age of four, analyzing strategies at the age of five, practicing martial arts at the age of six, hanging out in the market, relying on his identity to fight against injustice. .
At the age of seven, he became a disciple of Zhou Tong. At the age of nine, he became a master of martial arts. At the age of twelve, he befriended the courtiers. At the age of thirteen, he secretly organized the Broken Jade Tower and gathered heroes from all over the world. At the age of sixteen, he used all means to promote the bodyguard and military affairs 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 a light yellow Xue Tao raft. Each one 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 the broken jade building, and order him to send someone to report to Huang Gu, the pacification envoy on Fujian Road. It must be kept secret. If it is not thorough, it must be destroyed and not allowed to be seen."
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!”
Zhao Tong frowned slightly when he heard this, held the table with his palms, leaned forward slightly, and said, "Lei San, what are you talking about? Didn't Gao Qiu have three sons, two of whom are officials?"
"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 the residence. I expected that my young husband is no stranger to me, so how could I forget him?"
Zhao Tong was no stranger to him, but in his past life memory, history books recorded that Gao Qiu had three sons. This was definitely not wrong. 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 Tan looked at Lei San expressionlessly. This 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 imprisoned. After being rescued by Zhao Tan, he was loyal for a while. two.
Zhao Tong said slowly: "Gao Qiu has no children, only his adopted son Gao Kan, who is his adoptive uncle's cousin?"
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 Gao Qiu had an affair with his aunt when he was young, so he took him as his adopted son because of his talent and regardless of ethics."
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."
Lei San left with confusion, leaving Zhao Tong alone in the study. He was stunned for a moment and said to himself: "It's not right after all. Why is it like this?"
At this moment, a housekeeper suddenly came to report that someone outside the house had sent a greeting card.
Zhao Tong ordered the housekeeper to get the note and opened it. It turned out that the old lieutenant whom Eunuch Mi had said had arrived, so he ordered the housekeeper to spread the word and make an appointment to meet in the front hall.
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 are distances. The front hall is the place to meet foreign guests, while the middle hall is where close friends can be seen. In the past, as for the back hall, only relatives would go there.
The front hall was quite large, but the interior was also gorgeous. After Zhao Tong ordered two small dragon balls to be brewed, the butler introduced the two of them in just a moment.
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 wrinkled. At first sight, he looks like something from the bottom of the box.
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 bright eye. 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 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 have paid homage to Hong Xin, the Taiwei in front of the temple. His Royal Highness, King Qi.”
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 of the palace and had the title of captain, otherwise he would not have been in this state of decline.
He motioned to his attendants to help the old lieutenant and said: "No need, there is no need for such courtesy. Old lieutenant, please sit down and talk."
The old lieutenant and his entourage sat down on the chair. The young man saw Dali again in front of him. Zhao Tong smiled and said, "But he looked heroic."
The young man was shy and didn't know how to reply. He was so angry that the old lieutenant 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.
After drinking the Xiaolong Tuan, the old Taiwei was full of emotion and said that Emperor Renzong once rewarded five cakes, which he will never forget.
Zhao Tong then laughed and said that there were still many in the house, so he would take five loaves when he left. The old lieutenant burst into tears when he heard this.
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 very skilled in martial arts and was proficient in spears and sticks, not inferior to Li Xian. In terms of longevity, Li Xian was not the best. And it's far out of reach.
Zhao Tong heard this and asked curiously: "But Tong Daofu's godfather Li Xian?"
The old lieutenant said: "It is this man who is not only a great leader, but also has unparalleled martial arts. Mi Zhenting must not be weak to him."
Zhao Tong said: "I have always heard that Eunuch Mi practiced martial arts, but I didn't expect him 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."
The old lieutenant said: "Mi Zhenting didn't like the court. Although he was famous back then, 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. His name was Xuanyang and he was the 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 be defeated by ten!"
Zhao Tong held up his palm and said: "Miao Ye, you are already a commander of ten, but I don't want you to join the Forbidden Army. I want you to be my personal follower first. Are you willing?"
