Chapter 2 The future team
Sha Tongtian was a native of Shaanzhou, located in the Sanmenxia area of Henan Province. At this time, it was under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture in Nanjing, the Kingdom of Jin.
His ancestors were quite prosperous and were a large local business owner. However, his generation gradually declined, leaving only an empty shell. In order to make a living, he gathered a group of local gangsters and started a business without capital, robbing homes and houses on the Yellow River.
He lived a happy life and even established a Yellow River Gang.
After all, he used to be wealthy. He was fond of martial arts when he was young, so he visited famous teachers everywhere to learn martial arts.
Although he has not met any peerless masters, he has developed extraordinary skills over the years and has made a name for himself in the world. In addition, he is familiar with water and has excellent underwater skills, so he is called him by the world.
Be the king of salons.
As for the so-called Dragon King of Guimen, Guimen is a place name. Sanmenxia is divided into three sections: Human Gate, Shenmen and Guimen. Guimen is where the ancestral home of Sha Tongtian is.
When Yang Kang saw Sha Tongtian, he still had a lot of hair on his head and was not completely bald. His eyes were lowered and he stood respectfully. He looked honest and did not have the heroic spirit of a powerful man.
Is this the bandit leader who killed people and stole goods on the Yellow River?
Yang Kang expressed doubts. He looked no different from those rural farmers.
This is because Wanyan Honglie is sitting on top, and even a wealthy man in the world has to keep his arrogant head down in front of power, not to mention that this time Sha Tongtian came here to ask for help.
This starts with his good brother Thousand Hands Killing Peng Lianhu.
Peng Lianhu was a fierce bandit in Hebei, a thief who killed without blinking an eye. He gathered a group of minions and took over the mountain as king, creating quite a reputation.
He and Sha Tongtian lived in Hebei and Henan, and they originally had no boundaries, but one time because of a deal, he chased him out of Hebei and came to the territory of the Yellow River Gang, and the two sides clashed.
According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, once two gangs conflict, in order to avoid large-scale casualties, they will decide the outcome by fighting alone, so the two men fight.
As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. After a fierce fight, there is no winner or loser. The two people are robbers and bandits, and bandits cherish bandits. They have inexplicably become friends of life and death.
In the future, when there is a big deal, they will share what they have and share the spoils, and they will cooperate happily.
This time Sha Tongtian came to Zhongdu because of his good friend Peng Lianhu. At this time, Peng Lianhu was being imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and wanted to be executed by Qiu Hou. The reason why the trouble reached this point was because Peng Lianhu didn't know how to restrain himself.
In the past, the capital of the Jin Kingdom was Huining Prefecture in Shangjing, but later it was moved to Zhongdu, which happened to be in Hebei Province. There had been wars between the Song and Jin Dynasties in the past few years, and the Jin army had no time to deal with these ruthless bandits.
Since the peace talks between the Jin Kingdom and the Southern Song Dynasty two years ago, the Jin Kingdom's Ministry of War formulated a strategy to suppress bandits in order to train troops. The first thing to suppress was the bandits in Hebei Province. This was to ensure the safety of the important areas in the capital. Unfortunately, Peng Lianhu
Because of his huge power, he was on the blacklist of the Ministry of War.
Once the officers and soldiers became serious, Peng Lianhu had no choice. Although he was highly skilled in martial arts, his minions were not that powerful. As soon as he heard that the officers and soldiers were coming to suppress the bandits, most of them ran away, and the rest were in panic all day long.
Finally, during an encirclement and suppression, Peng Lianhu was shot by an arrow and missed and captured.
The archers in the army are definitely not something that martial arts masters can compete with. This is not a movie. One person can stop tens of thousands of people from shooting arrows together. As long as there are hundreds of people shooting arrows together, you will almost become a hedgehog.
Peng Lianhu did not turn into a hedgehog, but was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
After Sha Tongtian heard the news, he rushed to Zhongdu City in order to rescue his friend. He checked around the Penal Department Prison for a long time and gave up the idea of breaking into Jie Tian Prison because there was no possibility of success.
He had no choice but to take another path, and began to beg for help everywhere, and use gold and silver to recruit those small officials, but he was just a country bumpkin, he didn't know anyone in Zhongdu, he had no connections, and he was completely blind.
Those petty officials do nothing even if they take money, and they have no ability to release a condemned prisoner.
After several months, he spent a lot of money but got nothing. Sha Tongzhen was really disheartened. He was good at killing him as a bandit, but he really couldn't make connections in Zhongdu City.
If you don't reach the door, you will run for the rest of your life and never retreat.
Later, he found out that the Sixth Prince had returned from Mobei. He had a good relationship with the ministers in the court, so he got through a minor steward in Prince Zhao's Mansion and gave two valuable treasures to the chief steward of the Prince's Mansion.
Got a chance to meet Wanyan Honglie.
The hardships involved cannot be experienced by outsiders.
He sneaked in under the name of a martial arts artist, which meant that he entered the mansion to perform acrobatics. Sha Tongtian didn't expect that he would eventually have to rely on martial arts as a step to meet the prince, so he could let a well-known master in the martial arts perform.
, he felt very sad in his heart.
But under the roof, he could only do this for his good friends.
Wanyan Honglie was very strict with the servants in the mansion, but Bao Xiruo still existed in Prince Zhao's mansion. The housekeeper followed Bao Xiruo's path. He was not giving gifts, but said that a juggler had come from outside the mansion. He thought
Let him play some tricks to relieve the boredom of the little princess. This little princess is Hua Zheng who just came from Mongolia.
Bao Xiruo wanted to show Hua Zheng something new, so he agreed, so that Genius Shatong could enter Prince Zhao's Mansion.
Yang Kang didn't know the cause and effect. When he came, Sha Tongtian had already come in and was respectfully answering Wanyan Honglie's questions. Yang Kang found out from the housekeeper that the person who came was Sha Tongtian.
Experts will know if it is there as soon as they take action.
Sha Tongtian held a spear that was eight feet long, stretched out his body, and began to perform. The spear was flying like a silver snake. It was so fast that Sha Tongtian's shadow could not be seen at all. It was really airtight.
His original weapon was a piece of iron plasma, but one method can be used to solve all kinds of problems, so it is not difficult for a performance.
This is a master.
Wanyan Honglie was a discerning person, and he could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with this person. Fortunately, his guards were all around him. He turned around and told his guards to pay attention to this person. The guards slowly dispersed, surrounded Sha Tongtian, and waited until
After Sha Tongtian's performance was over, his bodyguards were already ready. They only waited for Wanyan Honglie's order to capture the man on the spot.
Wanyan Honglie clapped and applauded, then sent Bao Xiruo and Hua Zheng away. When he turned around, his face began to turn cold. A martial arts master had sneaked into the palace so easily. This matter must be thoroughly investigated.
He returned to his seat and stared at Sha Tongtian coldly.
Although Sha Tongtian was a bandit, as the leader of a gang, he still had the ability to observe people's emotions. He hurriedly knelt down and told the story about Peng Lianhu sincerely, hoping that the Sixth Prince could save his brother. He was willing
Be a cow or a horse, even if you die.
This put Wanyan Honglie in a difficult position. The robbers caught by the Ministry of War were also sentenced by the Ministry of Punishment. Unless the current emperor granted a general amnesty, it would be difficult to escape the crime.
The reason why he considered this was because he wanted to take these two people under his command. After returning from Mongolia, he thought about the martial arts of the Seven Jiangnan Monsters. For the sake of safety, he had the idea of raising a group of martial arts masters. Only masters can deal with masters.
However, this is a taboo matter. The prince can have personal soldiers, but not retainers.
The retainer system flourished during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The most famous one was Lord Mengchang, who had three thousand retainers. However, since centralization, everything in the world belongs to the emperor. If the ministers support retainers, it means they have ulterior motives. This is where Wanyan Honglie hesitated.
.
He looked at Sha Tongtian who was kneeling on the ground, and then at Yang Kang who was hiding aside, and an idea came to his mind.
"I have agreed to this. You will be Akang's martial arts master from now on!" Wanyan Honglie decided.
