As soon as the door was closed, the hustle and bustle just now suddenly quieted down.
Tang Zhao stood in front of the door and looked up at the lintel of Xue Mansion.
Regardless of whether he is rich or poor, Bai Ding, who has no fame and no fame, cannot have a lintel on his door. However, Xue Daxia, a martial artist and a forbidden knight, now has a lintel on his door that is very eye-catching.
On the sandalwood lintel, the shape of a sword is engraved, like a scabbard, waiting for a sword to be hidden.
Below the sword shape are engraved four characters:
"Suppress one side!"
Tang Zhao was in a daze when he suddenly heard a strange noise behind him.
A yellow shadow jumped down from the wall.
It was a calico cat, swinging past him with a step that it didn't recognize.
Tang Zhao thought to himself: This cat... is so fat! Unexpectedly, Xue's house has both cats and dogs.
The tabby cat swayed past, then suddenly turned back and looked at Tang Zhao with squinted eyes, a look of disdain on its fat face.
Huh?
Tang Zhao was startled, and thought with a sudden thought: Dogs are vicious dogs, cats are vicious cats!
Tuk-tuk-tuk...
There was a sound of horse hooves behind him.
A bay-red horse galloped straight towards Xue Mansion and reined it up within a foot of the mansion gate.
The knight immediately jumped off his horse, his bright red cloak fluttering in the wind.
The person who came was a military attache. He came to the door, opened the door, and walked straight in.
Tang Zhao was stunned. He knew how difficult it was to enter the Xue Mansion. This man could break through the door so boldly that he must be a big shot. At that time, with a quick glance, he felt that the man was not very old, and he didn't know what official position he held.
?
When the big shot came in, it became quiet again outside.
As time continued to pass, Tang Zhao gradually felt numbness in his legs and feet.
"Akiko?"
Hearing Sui Feng's voice, Tang Zhao turned around and saw him rushing over, saying: "How about we leave first? We shouldn't have come to this big family. Dad told me before to see
The situation is not right, don’t make any mistakes, I will take you back well. It’s okay to go back, you just follow us, where can’t you get a bowl of rice?”
Tang Zhao raised his head and stared at the wide door lintel, saying: "Yes. Just now I wanted to leave directly. But he told me before he died... No matter what I sent the token in, I must take it back. Just now in the forest, I had already
If you lose one piece, can you lose another one?"
Then I heard the sound of footsteps in the door, and the old doorman came out.
Tang Zhao's heart sank.
It seems that the nose is not a nose and the face is not a face.
The little old man didn't look directly at Tang Zhao, but looked far away and said, "Who was that... that... just now?"
Tang Zhao calmed down and said, "Student Tang Zhao."
"I don't care whether you are Tang Zhao or Shui Zhao -" the old man's voice suddenly rose and was very harsh, "If you come to Xue Mansion to cheat, you are looking for the wrong person! Open your eyes and look, where is this place? It's you
Is this a place for poor people to eat and drink?"
Tang Zhao was speechless for a moment, and Sui Feng stepped forward in fear: "Master, we don't have..."
"Snapped--"
The little old man threw a box at Tang Zhao's head. Tang Zhao quickly caught it and held the box tightly in his hand.
Opening the box revealed a rare object in the world. It was like a metal frame with two crystal pieces.
That's a pair of glasses.
The spectacle lenses are covered with cracks.
One lens had a thick crack that cut it off at the middle, while the other lens was so cracked that it looked like broken pieces of porcelain.
Tang Zhao looked down and stared, opening his glasses with trembling fingers and raising them to face the sun.
Because the lenses were broken, they were framed by the frame and gathered together, so that no light could pass through. Tang Zhao's eyes were hidden behind the fragments, and his eyes could not be seen at all. Only his lips could be seen tightly pursed into a line.
It was probably the first time that the old man saw glasses. His expression softened slightly, but his tone did not soften: "Take your nonsense and your nonsense letter and get out of here!"
As he said that, he threw the letter to Tang Zhao, smashed it directly into his arms, and then fell to the ground along his clothes.
Tang Zhao leaned down, picked up the letter, squatted on the ground, folded the glasses, and put them back into the box carefully.
The whole process was silent.
Although the old man was not tall, not much taller than the ungrown Tang Zhao, at this time he was condescending because of the difference in their postures. He sneered and said: "When I say get lost, I don't mean to ask you to get lost in some nook outside the wall."
.At least get out of... Heyang County! Heyang County is not small, but there is no place for a liar. Just today! Just tonight! Get out of the county before tomorrow! If not... you ask and find out who Xue Daxia is
Who, it’s just a matter of a word to get someone’s head! You’re lucky, my dog hasn’t come back yet, otherwise would you still want to go out in one piece?”
As he spoke, he turned around, his voice became slower, and he said angrily: "It's really unlucky. I met two people begging for food in one day..."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Tang Zhao, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "Please wait a moment."
The old man frowned and turned back.
Tang Zhao slowly stood up and put the letter and token into his arms. His face was still pale, and he folded his hands in a gesture of courtesy.
"Thank you very much, Xue Mansion, for your generous gift, and thank you sir for your kind words. I only regret that this junior is useless."
The old man looked uncertain and said: "Don't bully the old man for not studying. I know you guys are sour and arrogant. What do you mean?"
Tang Zhao looked calm and his tone was very calm, and said: "As the teacher said, I am a useless scholar, and everything I say is in vain. Being respectful is not as good as obeying orders, so I had no choice but to run away overnight... as you said...
"
At this time, Sui Feng became more and more embarrassed. He stopped talking several times and finally pulled the reins of the donkey.
Tang Zhao spoke clearly and spoke loudly:
"In any case, I will keep what happened today in my heart. I am powerless today and feel ashamed. If I succeed in the future and my house is as safe as before, I will visit you again. Then I will be richly rewarded."
The old man patted the door frame and said, "I understand. You are really mocking us! Wait until my dog comes back——"
Suddenly, I heard someone laughing and saying, "This guy talks so interestingly!"
A man dressed in red rushed toward him, and a man who looked like a military attache strode across from the middle door. When he passed by the old man, he had no intention of giving way. The little old man squeezed a few steps out of his way, almost falling, and stood sideways.
His face was extremely ugly.
At the same time, Sui Feng found an opportunity and brought Tang Zhao back.
The red cloak stood between the two of them, looking down at Tang Zhao. Because of his height, it was natural for him to look down at Tang Zhao. Even Sui Feng was nearly a head shorter than him, and no one could look at him on an equal footing.
Tang Zhao also faced him for the first time, and saw that he was in his mid-twenties, with raised eyebrows and a dashing figure. He had a long sheathed sword hanging on the outside of his red cloak, and wore a black uniform underneath.
There are other objects that cannot be seen clearly at the moment.
Staring at Tang Zhao, Hong Mangao smiled and said: "This kid looks smart and has a sense of stupidity, which is very interesting."
The old man said angrily: "Sir, this is ours..."
Red Cloak waved his hand and said: "Okay, why don't you tell him to get lost? What else do you want? Do you still want this town to give him a ride?" After a pause, he added, "Is it because there is no expense?
"
Tang Zhao was stunned for a moment and said: "Students...have their own problems."
The red cloak said, "Don't I have to give you something if I get up?" He casually touched it on his waist and threw out a little light, "I picked it up in the forest and gave it to you."
Tang Zhao subconsciously caught it, took a closer look, and was stunned.
That golden object is his longevity lock.
Gold is still the same gold, and jade is still the same piece of jade.
Only a shocking scar appeared on the jade, almost splitting the white jade in half.
It also broke...
Tang Zhao stared at the scratch, feeling like staring at the deep ravine in front of the mansion, even deeper than that chasm, bottomless. If he stared for too long, his vision gradually blurred, and everything around him began to tilt.
Rotate...
"Zhaozi...Zhaozi..."
Sui Feng's urgent voice made him sober up, but his head became heavy.
He pressed his fingers on his temples, forcing himself to stay clear.
Looking back, the red cloak was still standing there. His headache made his vision blurry, and even the man's facial features became strange.
He suppressed the discomfort in his head, lowered his head and said: "Thank you, sir...":
Suddenly his body stiffened and he broke into cold sweat.
You can see that the red cloak is sprinkled with blood stains. Because it is bright red, you can't see it unless you look carefully. After you see it, you will feel that the blood is dazzling!
Following the blood trail upwards, you can see a bloody human head hanging half-covered inside the cloak!
His vision went dark and Tang Zhao completely lost consciousness.
