Wuxia: I know a lot of martial arts

Chapter 162

Following Tao Ying into the small town, Chu Tang's attention was not on the scenery in the town.

After a quick glance, there is a rather large martial arts arena in the middle of it, with several wooden frames on which various weapons are placed.

Around the Martial Arts Field, there are rooms, except for a few people coming in and out occasionally, everything else is quiet.

There are very few green plants in the city, and the whole is like a big house, which is only used for living.

Speeding up a few steps, Chu Tang caught up with Tao Ying, and said casually, "Dean Tao, you still have a lot of face, going in and out of this place is like going back to your own home."

flutter!
Tao Ying stopped and looked back at Chu Tang, her eyes were bright, as if she wanted to find something on his face.

Chu Tang remained calm and asked, "Dean Tao, what's wrong?"

Tao Ying thought for a while, then took out the token from her sleeve again, waved it in front of Chu Tang, and said amusedly, "Did you see this and think I'm a black guard?"

She is really smart, even though Chu Tang tried her best to cover it up, she was still aware of her thoughts.

Chu Tang said: "Chu doesn't know anything about the black guards."

Tao Ying took the token again, and said, "Then let me tell you, the Black Yiwei's token has black characters on a yellow background, but mine is white on a black background!"

"Is there a difference?" Chu Tang asked curiously.

Tao Ying didn't answer immediately, and continued to walk, passing by the martial arts arena.

It wasn't until Chu Tang followed that she said: "The black characters on the yellow background are the official black clothes guards; the white characters on the black background are the black clothes guards that are given to some people for their convenience. You can also use the power of the black clothes guards to mobilize Some strength."

"Peripheral personnel?" Chu Tang blurted out.

"Peripheral?" Tao Ying was taken aback for a moment, then chewed on the word, and slowly shook her head, "It's not accurate, the peripheral personnel are lower-end, and they have to do their best to serve the black guards. The people holding this token are more like some The family's worship is a bit more detached than the status of the worship, so there is no need to work hard for it."

Chu Tang understood, and said in surprise, "Ziyiwei actually allows such a person to exist?"

Tao Ying smiled and said: "The hand is short, the mouth is soft, and the badge is taken, and the black guard asks for help. It must be a little bit of effort! Do you think I took it for nothing?"

Chu Tang groaned, and then heard Tao Ying say, "Here we are!"

After passing through the martial arts arena, the two came to the innermost part of the city.

This place is finally more elegant: under a few towering mango trees, the sun is mottled and sparse, the shade is cool, and there are stone tables and chairs underneath.

A man was sitting there, staring blankly at the Go board on the table.

He sits west and faces east, facing the visitor.

Dressed in lavender, he looked graceful and luxurious.

He is very handsome, with two short beards on his lips. He doesn't look young, but he doesn't look old either. He is probably in his thirties; his complexion is fair, like a handsome young man.

But he is full of momentum, sitting there alone, it seems that there is an invisible sense of oppression overflowing.

"Tang Yue!" Tao Ying called out to the sitting man from a distance.

"This is the boss of the Ziyi Guard in Qingcheng, the deputy commander of the Liangzhou Ziyi Guard?" Chu Tang was slightly surprised, feeling that the other party was not as sinister as imagined.

If it is not called breaking the identity, everyone will think that the other party is just a handsome martial arts master.

Tang Yue raised his head, looked at the two with bright and energetic eyes, continued to sit still, and just laughed: "Xiaoying, you are here! Come, come, come! The chess pieces are all set, let's talk first. One round!"

Tao Ying walked over and said angrily, "I told you, don't call me Xiaoying! You can either call me Dean Tao or Tao Ying!"

"Understood, Xiaoying!" Tang Yue nodded indifferently.

"You..." Tao Ying was too angry to speak.

When Chu Tang saw this, he almost laughed out loud. He didn't expect that there would be someone who would embarrass Principal Tao as soon as he came up.

However, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is very close.

Tao Ying didn't bother with this topic anymore, walked quickly across to Tang Yue, sat down on the stone bench immediately, glanced at the endgame on the chessboard, picked up the chess pieces and started to play.

Tang Yue's mind also turned to the chessboard, playing against it.

The two of you came and went, made more than a dozen moves, but they were silent.

Chu Tang was left alone, suspicious of life: "What the hell are you doing, you agreed to bring me to introduce you, but when you came, you didn't say a word, so let me watch you two play chess?"

Seeing Tang Yue's prepared appearance, it was obvious that Tao Ying had already gotten through with the other party before coming.

Knowing that Chu Tang is coming, but ignoring his existence?
Chu Tang felt a little tired.

The most important thing is that he doesn't know anything about Go!

He can play a few games of backgammon.

After a few glances at the pieces on the chessboard, Chu Tang didn't see any tricks, so he could only stand quietly on the side, wandering away...

When he came back to his senses again, he didn't know how long he had been here, Chu Tang looked down and saw that the chess pieces on the chessboard were densely packed and dotted all over the place.

The speed of the two chess players was much slower, and they were no longer as relaxed as before. Instead, they picked up the chess pieces cautiously.

There was only one voice in Chu Tang's heart: Although I couldn't understand, I was greatly shocked!
Well, maybe it can only be because of ignorance.

After a while, Tao Ying said excitedly after dropping a piece with a snap, "You lost!"

Tang Yue hummed, and began to slowly pack up the chess pieces, saying: "I haven't seen you for a while, Xiaoying, your chess strength has improved!"

Tao Ying sneered: "What are you pretending to do! When have you ever beaten me? You said it so calmly, and those who didn't know thought you were a master of secrets!"

Tang Yue: "..."

puff!
Chu Tang laughed, and he swore that even though he had undergone strict training, he couldn't help it anymore!

Tang Yue paused in his hands, looked up at Chu Tang, and frowned slightly, obviously a little displeased.

Tao Ying turned her head to look at Chu Tang displeased, and said, "Boss Chu, can you play chess?"

"I know a little bit about chess and military chess." Chu Tang answered honestly.

"What the hell! I'm talking about black and white!" Tao Ying frowned.

Chu Tang replied more honestly: "I know some backgammon."

"I said go!" Tao Ying was angry.

Chu Tang shook his head, and replied decisively: "No!"

"Then why are you laughing! You are a person who knows nothing, but you are laughing at a person who has been immersed in Go for more than 30 years?" Tao Ying laughed back angrily.

Chu Tang hurriedly said: "I just think the conversation between the two is interesting, and I don't have any other directions. Go is such a complicated and high-end game, it's definitely not something I can play with my brain!"

Tao Ying snorted coldly, her face softened a little, she turned her head and asked Tang Yue: "What do you think of this kid?"

Tang Yue, who had been sizing up Chu Tang, nodded slightly when he heard the words: "It's not bad, you have a lot of eyes, and you are not thin-skinned."

Chu Tang: "..."

Is this a good word?
"Ha!" Tao Ying laughed, pointing at Chu Tang and teasing, "Look, let me say that you have a big heart and a thick skin, you are not an ordinary person!"

It was even more difficult for Chu Tang to answer these words, so he touched his nose and smiled.

The two short beards under Tang Yue's nose twitched slightly, and he said with a smile in his eyes: "In this world, there are a lot of people with high martial arts skills, but many of them can't live with those with big eyes. For people with big eyes, it's not a good idea." A bad thing."

Tao Ying even gave Chu Tang a look, and said: "Did you hear that, you say that you are a good person and don't live long, and you will be a disaster for thousands of years!"

Chu Tang: Is that how you understand it?Your comprehension ability is beyond the limit!
Fortunately, Tang Yue quickly rescued Chu Tang: "You are Chu Tang, I've heard of you."

"Chu Tang has met Commander Tang!" Chu Tang cupped his hands and saluted.

Tang Yue waved his hands and said, "Deputy, just deputy!"

Chu Tang said as if blessed in his heart: "Then I wish Master Tang to be promoted to commander as soon as possible!"

Tang Yue was stunned, glanced at Chu Tang, and said, "As far as I know, you, Chu Tang, are not a flatterer!"

Chu Tang's heart trembled, and he said hastily: "Let Commander Tang laugh at you!"

Tang Yue looked at Chu Tang with a half-smile, and said, "How dare I laugh at you! The Cheng family's four-element battle formation, within the same territory, I can't break through, but your Chu team leader has broken through this formation! Now You are a man of the hour in Qingcheng! Everyone says you are a young genius, and it is rare to see you in decades!"

Before Chu Tang could speak, Tao Ying said displeasedly: "Tang Yue, are you trying to flatter him? Or do you want to scare him into the arms of your black guards?"

Tang Yue smiled, did not respond to Tao Ying, but still looked directly at Chu Tang and said, "With your ability, you are indeed the talent we need for the Black Clothes Guard. Gao Tianhua mentioned you to me, and Su Hong also asked for credit for you."

"Ah?" Chu Tang was taken aback.

Gao Tianhua was the one who invited him to join the black guard in Guijun that day, and he was also the first black guard Chu Tang had ever met.

Chu Tang remembered that he rejected him very simply, but he didn't expect him to mention himself to Tang Yue.

Also, what happened to Su Hong asking for credit for him?

"Commander Tang, Mr. Su...why did he mention it to you?" Chu Tang asked directly.

Tang Yue's complexion sank slightly, and he said, "The Guijun Yamen reported to the Governor's Mansion about Liang Wang's treasure, including the bronze mirror you handed in! The Guijun Yamen said it was all thanks to your leader Chu! "

Chu Tang's head is getting bigger!

He clearly told Zhuo Lien to downplay his presence when reporting to the higher authorities, not to be too high-profile.

Now it seems that they did not grab credit at all, but reported everything to the higher authorities.

This was something Chu Tang didn't want to see, and it meant that his so-called camouflage would be exposed to the eyes of that mysterious organization!
He clearly remembered that the bronze mirror was said to have been made in the governor's mansion, which meant that there were people from that organization in the officialdom.

Now that the document asking for credit for Chu Tang has arrived at Liangzhou Governor's Mansion, once the other party finds out, wouldn't he, who has repeatedly sabotaged the other party's good deeds, be a thorn in the flesh?

I can no longer hide in the dark and slander people, I hate it!

Also, is it really okay to mention Liang Wang's treasure in front of Tao Ying?

Chu Tang glanced back and forth at Dean Tao, his eyes flickering.

"What do you think I'm doing?" Tao Ying glared at Chu Tang, "It's not that I leaked your secrets. But it's interesting, you, a person who hides behind timidly, is now written in the official document, Are you feeling bad?"

Not only is it uncomfortable, but I have the desire to kill someone!

"Wait, what kind of eyes do you have!" Tao Ying sensitively noticed that there was still a difference in Chu Tang's eyes, and almost jumped up, "You have murderous looks in your eyes!"

Chu Tang's heart beat wildly, and he shook his head again and again and said, "Dean Tao misunderstood, Chu was just curious that Commander Tang did not shy away from Dean Tao and mentioned the treasure of King Liang!"

Tao Ying calmed down a little, cast a cold glance at Chu Tang, and said, "You Commander Tang even brought that bronze mirror for me to taste!"

Chu Tang was dumbfounded when he heard this, and stared at Tang Yue in a daze.

Tang Yue coughed, and explained: "Xiaoying has a deep knowledge of antiques, and I have been thinking about that bronze mirror for a long time, but I can't see anything special, so I ask Xiaoying to help me taste it."

"Unfortunately, I can't see anything. It feels like a rather delicate mirror." Tao Ying said with a sigh.

Bronze mirror, Liangwang treasure, bronze frame, and the ancient paintings Chen Suming said...

Chu Tang's mind was flooded with these information, and then he thought of related people and things, and his head couldn't help but get dizzy a few times.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Tang carefully looked around, took half a step forward, and asked Tang Yue in a low voice: "Commander Tang, I wonder if there is a man named Gu San in the Black Guards of Liangzhou?"

"Gu San?" Tang Yue looked puzzled, "Why are you asking this?"

"Is there such a person?" Chu Tang asked.

Tang Yue pondered for a while, and said: "Among the five black guards in Liangzhou 940, there are five people with the surname Gu, and there is no one named Gu San. As for whether anyone among them ranks third, it is not clear."

Chu Tang was stunned. As a deputy commander, it is not uncommon to remember the total number of black guards, but he can remember how many people with the surname Gu. This kind of memory is very scary.

Commander Tang is very human!
"Is Gu San your enemy? Or is he special? Has something to do with our Black Clothes Guards?" Tang Yue realized that this matter was unusual, and kept asking.

Chu Tang glanced at Tao Ying in embarrassment.

Tao Ying looked back with a sneer, as if watching a good show.

Seeing this, Tang Yue coughed again, and said, "Chu Tang, Xiaoying has even seen the bronze mirror. If it's about other black guards, there's no need to hide it from her, but it's okay."

Only then did Chu Tang nod his head, and explained in detail how he captured the bronze mirror when he tracked him out from Guijun County that day.

He didn't shy away from involving Ziyiwei Gusan and the twenty catties of black iron.

Xuan Tie can't hide this matter, after all, the purpose of Gu San's collusion with others is for Xuan Tie.

And when Chu Tang asked Gu San in front of Tang Yue, he felt vaguely in his heart that this person was more harmful, and if he was not caught, he might suffer.

It's all Su Hong's fault!

If he didn't have the application letter, he could blame the mysterious person for everything, and no one would know that he, Chu Tang, did it.

Tang Yue listened with a serious face, stood up in a huff, walked back and forth a few times, then stopped, and asked Chu Tang in a deep voice: "Are you sure they said that Gu San is Liangzhou Ziyiwei, and the bronze mirror is from Liangzhou?" Was it taken from the Liangzhou Governor’s Mansion?”

Chu Tang heard the surprise, Tang Yue emphasized the word "Liangzhou"!
"Did they really mention Liangzhou?" Tang Yue asked again.

Chu Tang was surprised and said, "Commander Tang thinks they are not from Liangzhou?"

"Crack!" Tao Ying, who had a thoughtful face before, clapped her hands, attracting the attention of both of them.

Tao Ying looked at Tang Yue and said, "It's really you! You reacted so quickly, it reminded me that Gu San may not be Liangzhou's black guard, and the Governor's Mansion may not be Liangzhou's Governor's Mansion either!"

"Huh?" Chu Tang was still confused.

Tao Ying looked at Chu Tang and explained: "The east of Liangzhou is Jingzhou! To the east of Guijun is Mengjun, and further east of Mengjun is Jingzhou's Nanjun! The two are bordering! And Jingzhou has no Liangzhou. The state is half the size, and the Ziyiwei in the state city over there can easily reach Meng County and Gui County!"

Chu Tang's eyes lit up, and he said angrily, "Yes! Why didn't I think of that!"

After all, he had never been out of Gui County before, and he didn't have a clear understanding of the size of the world, so he never thought of Jingzhou.

"Wait!" Chu Tang realized a problem, "That bronze mirror is said to have belonged to the King of Liang decades ago, how could there be such a thing in the Governor's Mansion of Jingzhou?"

Tao Ying scolded: "I don't have any knowledge! When King Liang rebelled, in addition to Liangzhou being the main battlefield, the imperial court sent troops from Jingzhou to encircle and suppress it. King Liang was defeated in the border area between Liang and Jingzhou. Isn't it normal for someone to contribute, to reap some King Liang's spoils?"

Chu Tang sneered, he has been obsessed with martial arts these years, apart from inquiring about Dayao and the general situation around him, he really didn't have the time and energy to delve into some historical details.

Tang Yue sat down again, and said to Chu Tang: "I will secretly inquire about Gu San's matter in Liangzhou first, and then use my connections to find out about it from people in Jingzhou. Just leave it alone!"

Chu Tang breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That would be the best."

Tang Yue smiled lightly, sat up straight, and asked seriously: "Chu Tang, you rejected Gao Tianhua that day, today I will ask you again, do you have the willingness to join our Black Clothes Guard?"

Chu Tang's heartstrings tightened again, and finally it's time for today's topic!
