Need for money

Zhang Shaojie has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his skills are strong. Martial arts has always been his proud advantage. Now someone mocks him in front of him that he can't even protect his superiors. How can he not be ashamed and annoyed?

But now that he has stepped into the officialdom, he can no longer do what he wants and do whatever he wants like before.

Raising his head, he followed the voice, and saw that the speaker was a young man in his 30s, with a sword hanging from his waist, standing behind Wang Meng with a haughty expression on his face. .

Originally, Zhang Shaojie didn't want to offend anyone, but after he saw clearly that the young man was only dressed as a guard, his mind became active. Wang Tian asked him to find an opportunity to show off his skills in front of Tian Ji. Isn't this just an opportunity?

As the so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, the young Zhang Shaojie directly ignored Wang Tian's words telling him not to show his sharpness, and said back: "At that time, there were many villains, and there were many masters, and the lowly position did not have three heads and six arms. A master's siege?"

"Hmph! Useless is useless, why bother to quibble? A super expert? Do you think that someone who just picks up a sword is a super expert?" As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room laughed out loud, even Tian Ji's mouth twitched. Qiao, in the letter, Wang Tian specifically mentioned Zhang Shaojie, so he didn't stop the two from bickering, but wanted to see how capable Zhang Shaojie was.

Now that the situation is complicated, the more experts around you, the better!

Zhang Shaojie made up his mind to show off, so he straightened his chest and said loudly: "What's so good about your mouth! Do you dare to compete with me?"

"Bijibi, who would be afraid that you won't succeed!" The young man snorted coldly, and took a step forward to the left. When the head of the guard from Tianfu came in earlier, he said that Zhang Shaojie was extraordinary in martial arts, and he dodged more than 20 arrows from archers. , and was able to push a strong horse to sit on the ground, he was not convinced, and then he sneered.

"This, it's better not to compare, otherwise, if you use real swords and guns, you will inevitably hurt someone." Tian Ji stroked his gray beard, pretending to be embarrassed.

The young man continued: "What Master Tian said is that it's better to forget it, or some people are not capable and injured, and I'm afraid they won't be able to return to Luo City today."

"Haha!" The officials in the room were obviously familiar with the guard, so they laughed again upon hearing this.

"It doesn't matter who wins and who loses, don't be too rampant!" Zhang Shaojie has been humiliated and suffocated since he came to the door and was tied up, not to mention that he has to show his skills in front of Tian Ji Cai Xing said, "Lord Tian, ​​those who practice martial arts, how can they be afraid of swords, guns, swords and halberds? Please give me an order, allow me to compete with each other!"

"Okay, since the two of you are interested, then I will allow it!" Seeing Zhang Shaojie being teased with words, Tian Ji couldn't hold back anymore. He didn't like him in his heart, but he still nodded in agreement.

"Brother, the house is small, let's go to the courtyard to make gestures!" Seeing Tian Ji's response, Zhang Shaojie was overjoyed. After saying that, he raised his legs and walked out. The young man snorted coldly, and then followed closely Going out, Tian Ji and other officials were at the end. When they came to the courtyard, servants had already brought chairs and tables, and added tea.

"Swords have no eyes, the two of you remember to click as far as you can." Tian Ji slowly came to sit down on the chair in the middle, and tried to persuade him in a rough manner.

The rest of the officials agreed with each other.

Zhang Shaojie and the young man were dissatisfied with each other at this time, and they both wanted to overthrow each other, to show off in front of the Shangguan, although they clasped their fists in response, neither of them took this sentence seriously.

"Brother, please!" Zhang Shaojie is still very confident about his own abilities. He holds a three-foot long sword in his hand, and he just stands there carelessly without drawing his sword. At this moment, his temperament suddenly changes. , much calmer than before.

Sitting on the chair, Tian Ji's eyes shone slightly, and he became a little interested.

The young man was very angry when he saw that the opponent was dragging him so far, he just gave a low sip to accept the move, and then he drew his sword to attack. All the officials applauded loudly, and when about twenty moves were made, Zhang Shaojie drew his sword to respond.

Zhang Shaojie's grandfather is a well-known master in the martial arts, and the three apprentices he taught are all of extraordinary abilities. Relatively speaking, although Zhang Shaojie is ranked last, even Hong Feng, who is the most skilled in martial arts, needs to beat him at least a hundred times. trick.

The other party was just a bodyguard, even though he was the bodyguard of a fourth-rank official, he was just a bodyguard after all. As soon as he made a move, the young man realized that something was wrong.

'Shua, Shua, Shua' three swords in a row, Zhang Shaojie stopped the young man's attack, then stood firm and started to fight back.

Zhang Shaojie was already good at swordsmanship, and he also wanted to show off in front of Tian Ji. He used his whole body's abilities, but made the long sword performer's movements erratic, making people elusive, stabbing, teasing, chopping, sweeping, every move, every style , all exquisite.

With his attack, all the officials outside the court knew how powerful he was. After a moment of silence, they began to applaud him. Tian Ji is the most cold-blooded and ruthless person. They helped the young guard earlier because Tian Ji relied heavily on him. He, now he is doomed to lose, and he will definitely not be happy for Tian Ji in the future, so they naturally have to adapt to the wind and turn to the rookie Zhang Shaojie.

Tian Ji was also slightly surprised, he didn't expect Zhang Shaojie to have such high martial arts skills at such a young age, then he thought to himself, that little bitch of Wang Tian's did not know how lucky he was to find such a treasure.

Jiancheng competed in martial arts, while Lin Jingzhi from Luocheng simply packed up some things and sent Mrs. Lin to the carriage. Apart from Tang Yuxiang, Lin Jingzhi also asked Lin Tian to stay in another courtyard for a few days .

The other courtyard in the west of the city was the first stop for the secret transfer arranged by the secret guards. If the situation deteriorated again, Lin Jingzhi would order the transfer.

Although it was a simple tidying up, even the clothes and daily utensils were packed into six carriages, plus the servants and servants from the past, walking on the street, formed a long queue.

Lin Jingzhi is the head of the family, so naturally he has to follow. After Mrs. Lin is settled, he returns to the city. The carriage is mighty and mighty, all the way to the west, but when he reaches the gate, there is suddenly a chaotic noise outside. The sound, and then, the carriage also stopped.

"Second Master, nothing will happen outside!" Tang Yuxiang asked uneasily, riding in the same carriage as Lin Jingzhi.

Lin Jingzhi squeezed her little hand, signaling her not to be nervous, and comforted her: "Don't worry, I'll go out and have a look for my husband." After finishing speaking, he lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.
