Zhao Tong walked out of the gate of the mansion and saw many soldiers sitting and lying on the ground in the empty space in front, all of them screaming in pain.
Next to the weapon rack, stood a little boy, richly dressed, with round and lively eyes, a tiger-like head, and he looked about eleven or twelve years old.
The little boy was holding up the big stone millstone for martial arts in both hands and shouted: "Why don't you let me sign up? I want to go on stage to beat the Liao dog. If you don't let me sign up, you can't beat me. What's the point?"
There were several people standing far behind the little boy. They were all dressed as servants. They all looked helpless at this moment. The old man at the head shouted: "Young Master, stop making trouble. This is the palace of the Second King. You should hurry back with the old servant." Come home!"
The little boy rolled his eyes: "I want to fight. The second king came out just in time to beg. Please leave me alone. If you dare to tell my mother, see how I beat you."
Zhao Tong saw something strange on the steps, turned around and asked, "Does anyone know anything about it?"
Everyone behind him shook his head, and Su Shi said: "But I have never seen it before. I don't know which government house it came from."
Zhao Tong said: "Even a person who is proficient in martial arts can hardly lift that stone mill above his head, and no matter how long it stays, it is innately powerful at such a young age."
Su Shi said: "What the prince said is absolutely true. This young man's strength is rare in the world."
The little boy now saw the people standing in front of the house. He looked at them again and again, and finally his eyes fell on Zhao Tong and said, "Who are you?"
Zhao Tong smiled and said, "Didn't you say just now that you wanted to beg me, but why don't you come over now?"
The little boy said: "The second king?"
Zhao Tong said: "Which young man are you from?"
As soon as the little boy let go of his hand, the big stone millstone immediately fell to the ground with a loud "bang" sound.
Then he ran forward, prostrated himself on the ground, gave a decent salute, and said, "The hereditary Lord of the Kingdom of Ji pays homage to His Highness!"
"Duke Ji?" Zhao Tao's expression changed when he heard this: "Are you a descendant of the Queen of Bohai County?"
The little boy said: "Back to the second king, the king of Bohai County is the ancestor!"
Zhao Tong looked at him. He was the first-class noble of the dynasty. Although he had been away from the court for a long time, his status was extremely noble. Ji Guogong was the hereditary title of the founding hero Gao Huaide. The Gao family was a double star with great reputation. Extremely loud.
He thought for a moment and said, "What's your name?"
The little boy said: "Your Majesty, my name is Gao Chong!"
Gao Chong... Zhao Tong looked at the little boy, remained silent for a few moments, and said: "Gao Chong, please come with me."
"Okay!" Gao Chong jumped up and followed Zhao Tong towards the lobby.
The servants at the back were dumbfounded when they saw it, and the panicked one couldn't help shouting: "It's a disaster, it's a disaster. Go back and report to the madam. The young prince has been captured by the second king."
Not to mention that these servants left in a panic, Zhao Tong walked into the palace with Gao Chong. He did not stop in the hall, but went straight to the back.
"Your Majesty, would you like me to sign up to fight?" Gao Chong said.
"Did you attack the prince?" Zhao Tong showed no expression on his face.
"Yes... my father passed away last year, and there are no more boys in the family." Gao Chong looked gloomy.
Zhao Tong said: "Who did you learn martial arts from?"
Gao Chong said: "I am born with supernatural powers. I have the spear boxing skills left by my ancestors at home. I practice them according to them. I have never met an opponent until now!"
Walking to the tree-lined path, Zhao Tong smiled and said: "You try to hit me. If you can hit me, I will let you sign up. If you can't, it won't work."
Gao Chong blinked: "If you beat the prince, will you punish me afterwards?"
Zhao Tong shook his head and said, "You injured so many soldiers outside the palace. If I had been convicted, I would have arrested you long ago. Why wait until now?"
Gao Chong said: "Then Prince, you have to be careful. I can knock that stone mill away with one punch. If I beat you to death, I'm afraid I won't be able to kill you all."
Zhao Tong said: "Gao Chong, if I don't believe it, please call me and give it a try."
Gao dotes on children and immediately said: "Then do I want to be beaten?"
Zhao Tong said: "I will sign you up if I can get it."
Gao Chong was impatient and punched Zhao Tong. Unexpectedly, the punch was only half punched, and Zhao Tong disappeared before his eyes.
Gao Chong didn't even look back, and directly used a Shenlong tail to hit back, but missed again. When he was stunned, someone tapped him on the shoulder and said, "I am here."
He swung his fists again, but nothing hit him. This lasted for a quarter of an hour or two, without even touching the corner of Zhao Tong's clothes. Finally, he panted and sat on the ground: "No more fighting, no more fighting. It’s impossible to hit.”
Zhao Tong smiled and said: "You can't beat me, and you don't dare to compete in the ring with skills as good as mine. Do you think you can do it?"
Gao Chong said: "My lord, it seems to be the truth, but I feel something is wrong."
Zhao Tong shook his head: "My king's principles are correct. Let's go home."
Gao Chong got up from the ground and whispered: "It's hard to get out, but my mother will be troubled when I get back."
Zhao Tong glanced at him: "When you have nothing to do, you can come to my palace to play. I'd better go home today."
Gao Chong said happily: "Does the prince keep his word?"
Zhao Tong said: "How can I not count what I said!"
"Then I'll leave now." Gao Chong turned around and ran outside.
Zhao Tong looked at his back and walked out. When he got to the lobby, he took up a pen and wrote a note, handed it to Su Shi and said: "Send it to Xiao Min, the Liao envoy, and tell him that the king will hold a banquet in the evening." , if we have something important to discuss, please come by all means."
Su Shi went out and Zhao Tong went back home.
A little later, Su Shi came back to life, and Zhao Tong said, "How do you say that?"
Su Shi said: "I didn't want to come. I told you that the prince had something important to discuss, so I agreed."
Zhao Tong nodded, turned around and returned to the study. After closing the door, he opened the rosewood box and pulled out a piece of paper from the bottom.
The paper has turned slightly yellow, showing that it was stored very early. The four characters on the paper are not new ink, but are written on Yelu Dashi.
Zhao Tong sat on the chair and read these four words. After a long time, he looked up to the northeast and silently put the piece of paper back into the box. This time, it was stacked on top.
Then he put his hands behind his back and went out. The sky was already dark now. In a moment, he walked to the Golden Pavilion. The pavilion was lively, with the girl from the Jiaofang Department adjusting the musical instrument and the dancer twirling and raising her sleeves.
Zhao Tong glanced outside and saw a woman coming to greet her. It was Qi Hongyu. She greeted him politely: "Young Master, we are almost ready."
Zhao Tong nodded and said: "After this year, send me a list, and if you have any sisters you like, write it down as well, please quit your citizenship!"
When Qi Hongyu heard this, his expression immediately changed, two tears instantly shed, and he said politely: "Thank you, Master. Hongyu and the sisters are very grateful. If I cannot repay Master's great kindness in this life, I will repay you as a cow or a horse in the next life."
Zhao Tong shook his head: "What are you talking about? You still want to work for me. I can't trust others if you look at their arrangements."
Qi Hongyu said: "Hongyu understands that even if it is this matter, he will not tell them until the moment is right."
Zhao Tong nodded in approval. At this time, the housekeeper came over and reported: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xiao is here."
Zhao Tong smiled and said, "Please come quickly!"
