Chapter 5 Meeting guests in the front hall
After this incident, Zhao Tong no longer thought about going to Zhouqiao. He walked around in 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 made friends with 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 his means to promote the bodyguard and military affairs department.
This step by step was done with great care, meticulousness, and painstaking efforts, and even his whole body felt numb.
Zhao Tong returned to the study and opened a red sandalwood box. Inside was a light yellow Xue Tao raft. Each one was written with small characters that only he could understand, as well as some symbolic pictures. These were some special events and also
There is a record of future plans.
He sat upright on the chair, reached out and took out a small piece of cashmere, and began to write. After finishing 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 had passed. In the early morning of this day, Zhao Tong called Lei San and handed over a letter, saying: "Send it to Huang Gu of Suiyulou and ask him to send someone to report to Huang Jue, the pacifying envoy on Fujian Road.
Um... first level confidentiality."
Broken Jade Tower is a civilian force formed by Zhao Tao. It has a confidentiality system and is divided into levels one, two and three. There is also a special level above. These words have not been used even by the Imperial City Division and the military. In this era, Zhao Tao is
First of its kind.
Lei San took the order and was about to leave, but turned around but was stopped by Zhao Tao: "Now that we are going to the building, let Jian Suyi check the background of the sons of Gao Qiu's family and report any scandals."
."
Lei San was stunned when he heard the words, and after a while he thought for a while and said: "My dear husband, you don't need to ask Jian Nuxia about this, my subordinates already know the general idea. How many sons does Gao Qiu have? He only has one godson and adopted son, who is
The adopted cousin of my uncle's family is called Gaokan. The people in Tokyo don't like him and call him Huahua Taisui, but he is a bad yamen with bad conduct!"
Zhao Tong frowned slightly when he heard this, held the table with his palms, leaned forward slightly, and said, "Lei San, what did you say? 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 his residence.
I guess my husband is no stranger to me, but how can I get this confused?"
Zhao Tao looked at Lei San with an expressionless face. 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 sent to prison. He was rescued by Zhao Tao. For a moment, he had no loyalty.

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 a cousin."
When Gao Qiu was young, he had an affair with his aunt and 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 long while he exhaled and waved his hands and said, "Just go ahead, that's all."
Lei San left in confusion, leaving Zhao Tong alone in the study. He was stunned for a long time and said to himself: "This is not right. Could it be that I remembered it wrong?"
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 fetch 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 generally 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 is a distinction between distance and distance. The front hall is the place to meet foreign guests, but the middle hall is where confidants can be.
Go, as for the back hall, only relatives will 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 full of wrinkles. At first sight, he looks like something from the bottom of a 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 piercing gaze. When Zhao Tong saw him, it was natural to see that he was used to using guns and sticks and had some basic skills.<

The old man's eyes were cloudy. When he saw a person sitting on the chair in front of him, a young man in silver robes with an aura of dust, he became 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 palace.
His Royal Highness the King of 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 such a state of decline.
He motioned to his attendants to support the old lieutenant and said: "No need to worry, 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 captain 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 has never forgotten.
Zhao Tong then laughed and said there were many more in the house, so he would take five loaves when he left. When the old lieutenant heard this, he burst into tears.
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 great at martial arts and proficient in spears and sticks, not inferior to Li Xian. In terms of longevity, Li Xian was the best.
And it’s too far behind.
Zhao Tong heard this and asked curiously: "But Tong Daofu's godfather Li Xian?"
The old lieutenant said: "This is the man who is not only powerful in battle, but also unparalleled in his 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 at that time, decades later, no one talked about it and it has not been spread."
Zhao Tong nodded and looked at the young man behind the old lieutenant. This young man was the great-grandson of the old lieutenant, named Xuanyang, and ranked seventh among his peers. This time, the old lieutenant sacrificed his face and came to Tokyo just to find 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 defeat ten enemies!"
