Chapter 16
"Except for the tea money, the rest is compensation for breaking things," said the brocade-robed man.

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, but after seeing the terrifying skill of the brocade robed man just now, he still said truthfully: "That's...no...you don't need so many."

The brocade robed man didn't bother to speak any more, he just waved his hands.

The shopkeeper took the waiter to make tea happily.

At this moment, Guo Youxin and Yang Xiuling, who had never suffered such a disastrous defeat, were full of frustration and tension on their faces. Only Song Youcheng forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and said in a tactful tone: "Senior is indeed as amazing as the rumors. We are not at all. The opponent, defeated by you, is convinced! I just don’t know that senior—”

"Don't worry, I won't take your lives, it's just a small punishment." The man in the brocade robe sneered, and said, "Guner, go find their badges."

The boy was searching the store for the colorful beads that popped up before, and when he heard this, he immediately came to the three of them. Song Youcheng and Guo Youxin were powerless to resist, and could only watch helplessly as he took away the badge of Xun Wusi.

When the boy named Qiang'er came to Yang Xiuling, Yang Xiuling shouted anxiously: "Don't touch me! If you dare to touch me, I won't let you go even if I die!"

The young man said coldly: "Then hand over your badge yourself."

Yang Xiuling was so wronged that she almost shed tears, she took out her badge with great effort and threw it on the ground.

The boy picked up the badges with a calm expression, and placed them in front of the table of the man in the brocade robe.

The man in the brocade robe picked up a piece with great interest and looked at it carefully: on the palm-sized, dark golden bronze plate, there was a Chinese character "Wu" engraved in the middle of one side, and a Chinese character "Xun" was engraved in the middle of the other side.A line of small characters is engraved on the top of both sides, "Designed to maintain the order of the martial arts and arrest criminals in the Jianghu".There is also a line of characters engraved on the bottom of the two sides, "Guo Youxin, Chengdu Mansion, No. 126".

The brocade robed man stared at the small waistband, recalling the past, with a dazed expression on his face.After a while, he came back to his senses and said to the young man: "Qiang'er, it has been five years since I taught you the flying acupuncture points for five years, now you are using this technique to unlock the acupuncture points for these three people, let me see your progress." How's the situation?"

The young man was taken aback for a moment, and said in a nasty voice: "Master, how can I undo the acupuncture points you ordered."

"I didn't use much force, you should be able to untie it." The man in brocade robe said with a straight face, "If you can't untie it, then don't be my apprentice anymore!"

Frightened by the brocade-robed man, the young man gritted his teeth and looked at the three people sitting on the ground slumped on the ground. With his right hand, he picked up the colorful beads he had collected just now, and after aiming at them with energy, he ejected them.

The man in the brocade robe said it easily, but in fact, even if the young man tapped the acupuncture points accurately, it would take two or three times to unlock the acupuncture points for one person.

By the time the three of them had unlocked the acupuncture points, the boy was already sweating from exhaustion, but the faces of the three who had unlocked the acupuncture points were extremely ugly, because this practice was undoubtedly a great humiliation to them.

Ignoring the hatred in the eyes of the three people, the man in brocade robe said leisurely: "Go back and tell your master that I, Tang Fangzhuo, are back. If you want to get this badge back, ask your elders to ask me to get it."

As soon as he finished speaking, there were several exclamations from the pedestrians outside the store.

Song Youcheng, Guo Youxin, and Yang Xiuling looked at each other, and said in a deep voice, "Understood, goodbye!"

The three walked out of the store quickly.

Xue Chang, who was standing at the door, watched Guo Youxin pass him by with his head down and his gloomy face. His previous arrogance turned into a look of depression, and he was alerted in his heart: Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat small fish in this world. Xiami, I have to work harder!
When Yang Xiuling passed by the door of the store, she nodded slightly to Xue Chang to express her gratitude.

The three found their mounts, took off the reins, and got on the horses.

At this time, Guo Youxin shouted loudly: "Tang Fangzhuo, you are bullying the small with the big, what is there to be proud of! Just wait, my master will come to you, and then you will be driven out of Bashu like a dog!" , he swung his whip vigorously, the mount let out a mournful cry, and rushed up the official road quickly.

The young man immediately felt angry, but Tang Fangzhuo sat still, and just murmured thoughtfully: "If the younger generation of the Bashu sects have the same martial arts as these people, it is really not to be underestimated..."

"Excuse me, are you really Tang Fangzhuo, the Arrow in Caiyi... General Tang?!" Among the passers-by watching the excitement at the door, someone finally couldn't help asking.

"Do you need to ask! Look at the clothes of this...a hero, with such a strong martial arts, and also named Tang Fangzhuo, he must be the hero of our Shu people—General Tang in Caiyi Shenjian, there is absolutely no problem!"

……

Tang Fangzhuo frowned at the excited comments from the passers-by. He glanced out the window and said, "The rain has stopped, let's go."

Although the passers-by were discussing a lot, when the two of them approached without expression, no one dared to step forward to express their respect. Instead, they took the initiative to give up the passage and watched him ride away on horseback.

"Decades have passed, but I never thought that General Tang would still be as handsome! Back then, he followed General Ye Wenbo to participate in the Battle of Xiangyang, and shot three arrows to kill three generals from the northern barbarians, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers, and finally defeated more than Our northern barbarian army..." A middle-aged man with the appearance of a businessman said with emotion.

"Listen to your tone, brother, have you seen him before?" The others asked curiously.

"I am from Chengdu, and my home is in the city. Before the late emperor moved the capital, every time the army returned in triumph, the people in the city would go to Liedao to welcome them. The iron-blooded Changhemen team attracted the most attention, and among them, General Tang Naturally, he is the most popular, he is from Sichuan, he is good-looking, and his martial arts is high, all the girls want to marry him, and he throws the most flowers to him!"

"Since he is so powerful, and he is still a general, why is there no news about him?" A caravan guard in his early twenties couldn't help asking.

This is exactly what Xue Chang wanted to know. The original owner didn't have Tang Fangzhuo's name in his memory at all, and even the Jagged Changhemen and Ye Wenbo mentioned just now had only very brief information.

"I heard that after General Ye was assassinated by the Northern Man, in order to avenge him, the Iron Blood Changhemen mobilized troops to attack the Northern Man without a military order, arousing the anger of the late emperor, and finally ordered to disband I have left the Iron Blood Changhe Gate... Alas, I have never heard from General Tang since then!"

"The news of General Ye's death in battle was a big deal at that time. Our local people even spontaneously wore sackcloth and mourning mourning for him for three days... But how did I hear that he suddenly died of a sudden illness? .” An old man said suspiciously.

"That's what the imperial court said, that's right." The businessman curled his lips and said, "However, when I was doing business in Luoyang, the local people spread this saying. After all, it is Gyeonggi, so the news should be better. According to them The imperial court is worried that after the announcement of the fact that General Ye was murdered, it will arouse the anger of the people and seriously affect the peace talks with the northern barbarians."

"Ge Laozi's peace negotiation!" A caravan guard said angrily: "I heard that He Shuheng, who was in charge of the peace negotiation back then, was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he knew that the peace negotiation was a traitor! It's a pity that Ye Daxia, the first hero, died in the conspiracy of Beiman, but the truth is It was covered up, and the vengeance has not been avenged so far!"

"What's wrong with negotiating peace." The old man sighed: "You are young, and you don't understand the situation at that time. Since the first emperor led his army out of Sichuan, determined to drive out the northern barbarians and restore the clothes of the Han family, it has gone through 10 years, and there have been hundreds of wars. , Many soldiers were killed or injured! In our area, almost every family wears mourning. Fortunately, a peace was negotiated later, otherwise I am afraid there will be no strong labor to plow the fields!"

After hearing this, everyone sighed.

The old man said in a more emphatic tone: "However, the sacrifice of our Shu people is also worthwhile. It is the glory of all of us that Bashu, a land of abundance, finally has an emperor!"

Everyone even claimed it was.

The businessman interjected: "We Shu people not only have glory, but also have many practical benefits. For example, this dynasty pays more attention to Bashu than the previous dynasty. Chengdu is also an important city in the Great Zhou Dynasty after Luoyang. Labor and labor are also lighter than other provinces, and commerce and trade are more prosperous..."

Everyone nodded their heads again and again, and their pride was beyond words.
