But it was said that Zhao Tong was studying in the room, and what he was reading was a novel written by an unknown person, called "Old Things in Lanling". The content was quite exciting, with the warblers singing and the swallows calling, laughing and cursing. Suddenly, he heard the housekeeper knock on the door, and let the I came in to inquire, but someone posted in front of me.
Zhao Tong took the post and looked at it, and was startled at first. He had never seen such a multi-word greeting post before. The post was nothing more than the title, position, place of origin, name, words, and respectful words. This is just a sequence, such as the Marquis of Shouting of the Han Dynasty. Former general Guan Yu of Hedong Jiexian County paid homage to Guan Yu, but on this post, he wrote a lot of words after the honorific.
Zhao Tong glanced at it, then replied, and in the end he only landed on the three words "Lu Junyi".
He was silent for a long time, and the housekeeper didn't dare to talk to him, nor did he dare to leave. After all, he still had to reply.
Zhao Tong did not know about Lu Junyi before, and Zhou Tong never mentioned this matter when he taught him. It was not until Yue Fei arrived, and the two talked at night by candlelight, that they found out that Zhou Tong had talked to Yue Fei, and that Lu Yi was one of his direct disciples. .
He judged Lu Junyi's temperament based on the words on the post, and recalled that his family remembered this person's deeds. He couldn't help but sigh slightly, and he had the intention of bringing him over to live in the house, but after carefully weighing it, it was better to do it slowly.
Lu Junyi is different from Yue Fei. Yue Fei is like a Kun in the clear water, pure and innocent, but Lu Junyi is a local powerful man. He rashly invites him to live in his house. Something is not right.
He thought for a while and said, "Call the person who sent the sticker. I have something to ask."
After a while, Xiao Yi entered the house, but he was not afraid of strangers. He was respectful but not embarrassed. He paid homage to Zhao Tong and said, "Yan Qing of the famous house, the more you dare to pay homage to the prince on behalf of the head of the family, Lu Junyi."
Seeing how suave and courageous he was, Zhao Tong couldn't help but smile and said, "Why didn't my senior brother come directly to the house and write a greeting note?"
Yan Qing has a delicate mind and knows what is meant. When she heard the two kings thinking about their affection, she felt overjoyed and said: "Your Majesty, the master has said that there is no shortage of etiquette."
Zhao Tong nodded and said, "How is my senior brother?"
Yan Qing said: "Master only practices martial arts at home and has nothing else to do. It is only after drinking that he reveals his true feelings and misses Grandmaster Zhou, the prince and all the junior brothers."
Zhao Tong looked at him, but Yan Qing was a talker. He remained silent for a few breaths and said, "Senior brother, do you have anything else to do when you come to Tokyo?"
Yan Qing said: "It's true that I'm paying homage to the prince, but when I saw this Liao man performing in the ring, I felt unhappy. My master often said that he would die loyally to serve his country, so he wanted to compete on stage, but he had no choice but to pass the registration date..."
Zhao Tong said: "This matter is easy to handle. I'll write a note in a moment and you can take it to the Imperial Guards' Office. There is a man named Yang Zhi above the door who has done meritorious service and told me to ask him to find someone to handle the matter." "
Yan Qing was overjoyed and thanked him hurriedly. Zhao Tong said again: "Senior Brother Lu came to Beijing and wanted to meet him immediately to show his friendship. However, I have been in charge of the arena these days and am busy with official duties. I will stay for a few days." , I invited Senior Brother Lu to a banquet, and I asked Senior Brother Lu not to blame him."
Yan Qing hurriedly said, "How dare you?", but her heart was filled with joy. She secretly thought that the original master had prepared the worst plan of coming to the door without any hope, but she did not expect that the second king was so kind, but the master was a little dull and solemn. , it seems that after returning home, I need to persuade him hard and remember to lower my self-esteem in everything.
Yan Qing excused himself and went back to the inn. When he saw Lu Junyi, he explained clearly. Lu Junyi was happy in his heart. He only thought that if he had polished his martial arts in the first half of his life, could he really have a use for it in the second half of his life?
He also thought to himself that the king is so noble that it would be better not to see him now. Only when he gets into the ring and continues to kill all the way can he be respected. Otherwise, even if he doesn't say it with his mouth, he will still despise him in his heart.
Yan Qing didn't know what kind of temper his master was, so when he saw him thinking, he added fuel to the fire, which made Lu Junyi feel excited. Later, he urged him to sign up quickly, and he also wanted to change clothes and go.
Yan Qing said with a smile: "This is something that the master can't figure out. Since there is a note from the Second King and who is asked to do the work, why does the master need to come in person? The master's status is different now. Xiao Yi can handle this matter alone. .”
Lu Junyi thought that this was also the case, so he let Yan Qing go and drank alone in his room.
In the blink of an eye, the next day comes, and this time there are more and more people under the ring, but you wonder why? There were actually many people like Lu Junyi who were rushing on the road, so they took a long time to enter the city.
Zhao Tong looked at the huge crowd of people in the audience, and then mobilized the forbidden troops to maintain the performance, and only presided over the start of the competition after everything was done.
On this day, Bai Shizhong, the Minister of Rites, did not come, nor did Gao Qiu. However, there were several ministers from other departments, heads of various departments in the Ministry of War, and adjutants from the front department.
Unexpectedly, Mi Zhenting climbed up to the canopy again with a stick. He only said that he had taken a leave of absence from the official family and came to watch the excitement. Tong Guan sat next to Zhao Tong and cursed, the old man didn't do anything on weekdays, so why did he take leave? It's just a matter of eating and drinking in the imperial city without spending any money.
Zhao Tong knew that the two of them had a bad relationship, probably from the time of Tong Guan's godfather Li Xian, but how to say this kind of thing, whoever survives to the end is always the winner, right?
When the ten rounds started, Zhao Tong saw Yan Qing in the crowd at a glance, and then looked at the person next to him, standing tall and powerful, with an upright face and piercing eyes. He knew it must be the jade unicorn Lu Junyi.
He looked at it for a moment and couldn't help but nodded slightly. Apart from other things, this senior brother's calm demeanor was far beyond comparison with other warriors. The so-called expert can tell if there is something there when he reaches out his hand. Sometimes, just look at a person's posture, waist and legs. Calmness can also be used to estimate the level of martial arts.
But Lu Junyi didn't dare to look up on the stage. Firstly, he was a high-ranking official in the temple, so he was afraid of collision, and secondly, he was afraid that Zhao Tong would see him and think he was frivolous and flattering.
The sound of drums sounded, and he stretched out his hand towards Yan Qing, who handed him a stick. How much skill does it take to dare to use a wooden stick against the enemy in the arena of life and death?
He announced his first name and walked forward with the sound of drums. He didn't care about the choice of first and second, he just came to the first ring and jumped directly on it.
Mi Zhenting on the stage laughed and said: "There is a master here, I wonder how he can play with this stick?"
The little chamberlain behind him said: "Of course he can't be compared with Big Daddy."
Mi Zhenting shook his head and said: "I'm afraid of my young strength. Now I'm still very competitive. I'm afraid that a gust of wind will blow down my old bones."
Zhao Tong looked around, but did not see the young man Xiao Changkong from yesterday. Instead, there were many new faces that he had never seen before. He knew that the soldiers who were in the iron camp and flowing water might not be seen every day when people came and went.
Lu Junyi stood on the No. 1 ring, and opposite him was a Liao man wielding a long-step sword. This long-step sword was different from the plain sword.
The Pu Dao is half of a farm tool and can be disassembled. There was a major case involving this thing in this dynasty. It was probably an official who was ordered to investigate. Seeing the Pu Dao along the way, they were furious and arrested several people to question them. As a result, there was a riot. When I arrived at the court, after questioning in every possible way, I realized that there was a big story.
The handle of this simple sword can be detached, and the long handle is suitable for self-defense, but the short handle is used for slash and burn farming. The officials felt that they had lost face, so they cut off the official, and they gradually asked less about the simple sword.
The long-step sword is far inferior to the simple sword. It is a standard weapon and a sharp weapon for killing people. When the Liao people saw a big man coming up with a stick, they couldn't help laughing and said: "That man, could it be that there is no one in the Song Dynasty? Come here with a burning fire stick to die?"
Lu Junyi did not argue with him, but just stood still. The Liao man was angry and stepped forward to chop him with a long sword.
Lu Junyi's body swayed slightly, but without using any force, the stick came to the Liao man's knee. With just one blow, the bone was broken into pieces, and then he lifted the stick directly to the audience, without even finishing a round.
"Continuous defeat!" Lu Junyi shouted to the audience.
"Continuous beating!"
"Continuous beating!"
"Continue to beat!"
"Keep beating!"
Before noon, they competed five times in a row!
Up and down the canopy, all eyes were attracted to Arena No. 1. Tong Guanyi said solemnly: "It's really amazing."
There seemed to be a moment of blankness in the ring, and then a sneer was heard from behind the ring: "You are so arrogant, you can really bully everyone in Daliao!"
