After the summer, the rain was rapid and majestic, and the size of beans hit the eaves and slammed.

But after a while, the sky began to clear up, and the humid air brought a hint of coolness. Zhang Xiaodao walked out of his new home that he had just finished tidying up with an oil-paper umbrella.

Zhu Xiaofei had already changed into a clean and neat young master outfit and was waiting in the carriage at the intersection of the street.

Zhang Xiaodao boarded the carriage and saw Zhu Xiaofei's face pale as paper and said, "Are you sure you have been in the kiln for a year and have been practicing your alcohol tolerance very well?"

Zhu Xiaofei coughed twice with awkward expression: "I was in a bad state yesterday, so we will fight again tomorrow."

Zhang Xiaodao said: "To be honest, I'm a little nervous now."

Zhu Xiaofei nodded and said, "I'm even more nervous than you."

Six Kings, Zhang Xiaodao thought silently, could he see that he is just a stone in the erotic palace?

The wheels of the carriage pressed over the accumulated water and splashed water. Zhang Xiaodao and Zhu Xiaofei arrived at the luxurious mansion all the way. Under the guidance of the butler, they shuttled through the corridor. After turning many turns, they finally entered the hall.

Zhao Donghai, known as one of the six kings of the treasury, was still sitting on the chair as wide as a bed. Zhu Xiaofei's father was also beside him. After seeing the two of them in, he pulled Zhu Xiaofei out of the hall.

Zhang Xiaodao greeted him, Zhao Donghai was exempted from the gift, without any pretext or preparation. Zhao Donghai said straight: "I shouldn't have been a message, but Your Majesty knew that your pocket was tight, so he asked me to pass on this."

Before Zhang Xiaodao could speak, Zhao Donghai said, "Come on, sit here and talk slowly, and try how this Dahongpao tastes first."

Zhang Xiaodao took a sip of tea, and Zhao Donghai, who looked very friendly and friendly, said: "Just call me uncle. Your teacher and I are brothers, and the prince sounds too unfamiliar."

"Uncle, don't you know Your Majesty?"

"Your teacher is the same. He has accepted you as a student, and he doesn't say he can give you some money. But your teacher is also a lascivious person. It is natural that you can't stand by and watch if you are an uncle."

As he said that, Zhao Donghai took out a stack of silver notes and a waist sign, and placed it on the table and said, "Package money. Take the flowers first. If you don't have enough, go directly to Furuixiang. There are all the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Show off your waist sign and take it as you like."

Zhang Xiaodao swept the denomination of the silver notes and was shocked. He thought that it was indeed the treasury of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Anyone who gives some pocket money would probably be enough for a commoner to live a lifetime.

Unlike the gentleman and the barefoot monk, Zhao Donghai does not have the kind of restraint that would bring to Zhang Xiaodao when he first met, but is very friendly.

Zhang Xiaodao didn't know if Zhao Donghai was very fat and looked a little like his father. He nodded without being pretentious and said, "Then thank you uncle."

"A small thing." Zhao Donghai continued: "But don't do this business with stones. First, you are not bad at this point now. Second, it's not good to spread it."

Zhang Xiaodao nodded solemnly, understanding another meaning of his teacher's wife giving away a house and Zhao Donghai came to give away money. As their juniors, it is indeed unpleasant to say it.

"You study hard in the future and don't think about messing around. Your Majesty really can't stand it anymore, so he asked. However, Your Majesty admires your carving skills and said that before you wash your hands, you should carve a set for him first, and I want one, too."

When he said this, Zhao Donghai looked righteous, as if he was talking about a big deal.

Zhang Xiaodao immediately understood and said to Zhao Donghai: "Uncle, don't worry, each person has a collection exclusive version, and I guarantee that everyone has never even seen it."

"Nephew, let's talk about the serious matter after the small matter."

"Please speak for uncle."

"The royal family members will attend the winter festival of Qingzhou border soldiers every year. Last year, His Royal Highness went there. Today is Prince Qi Nian. Your Majesty meant to let you go with you. One is to increase your experiences and the other is to hone you. I wonder what you think?"

Zhang Xiaodao thought of the words of the elder brother, but when he thought of following the royal family, there was no danger there, so he nodded and responded: "Of course, obey the order."

Zhao Donghai nodded, took out another waist sign and said, "Of course, when you are on this trip, you are not just going for a walk, but naturally you have to bring back what you see and hear."

Zhang Xiaodao's eyebrows were clustered, and the so-called four words he saw were of extraordinary significance.

Zhao Donghai pointed to the waist card and said, "This is the waist card of Yueming Palace."

Zhang Xiaodao asked in confusion: "Yueming Palace?"

Zhao Donghai said: "The official organization of the prosperous Tang Dynasty has Xuantian Pavilion in the light, Fengyue Tower in the dark, Furuixiang and other businesses. If you need help, this brand will have some effect."

Zhang Xiaodao's eyebrows were tighter and he noticed the meaning of this.

Zhao Donghai smiled and said, "Nephew, you don't have to worry too much. I just give you a brief explanation in advance so that you can feel some pressure and give you some motivation to study hard in the past six months."

When Zhang Xiaodao heard this, he felt the good intentions of these elders, so he took the card and said, "Uncle, you have trouble."

Zhao Donghai said bluntly: "Your senior brother was originally the strongest person in the younger generation, but he didn't understand worldly affairs."

"The nine great worshipers of the prosperous Tang Dynasty looked extremely powerful, but in fact their loyalty was not enough."

"In recent years, young people in the prosperous Tang Dynasty have really lost their bodies and brains because of the prosperous times. This is also the reason why the general did not send you directly to the academy back then. The border army is a good place to train people and shape their personalities."

"You are very comprehensive in many aspects, so Your Majesty values ​​you, the Monk values ​​you, the Sir values ​​you, the General values ​​you, and I value you too."

"But these values ​​are not pressure, you have to keep steady step by step."

This is a heart-wrenching word. Zhang Xiaodao pursed his lips and nodded solemnly. Zhao Donghai patted his shoulder and said earnestly: "The future prosperous Tang Dynasty will always depend on you young people to support it. It is easy to conquer the country, but difficult to defend the country. Being safe and dangerous is the vigilance of our generation. So when you go to Qingzhou, don't tighten yourself too much. Maybe we are thinking too much."

This was very clear. Zhang Xiaodao thought about the King of the Border Army and shook his head helplessly and said, "I will do my best."

"That's good, nephew, have it together tonight?"

"It's better to obey your orders than to be respectful."

Zhao Donghai smiled. His eyes turned into a line, and the flesh on his face shook.

…………

…………

Time flies, time flies.

Shengjing's life was extremely dull for Zhang Xiaodao, but it also made him so peacefully.

In the past six months, Zhang Xiaodao has devoted himself to studying.

In addition to the kendo being taught by the master's wife himself, he followed more than a dozen teachers in the academy in different fields and expanded his knowledge about cultivation again and again.

In addition to theoretical knowledge, he also repeatedly fought with Mu Zhuwu, Ling Boyan, Yichuan and Chen Qingzhu in the past six months. In addition to gaining a lot of experience, he naturally established an extremely deep friendship.

Occasionally, the elder brother would come to give some advice and always beat everyone into pig's heads. The few people who thought they had become very strong would always feel their self-esteem frustrated.

Recently, the eldest brother seemed to be too bored, and the frequency of going to Zhang Xiaodao's yard became more and more compact, and everyone was naturally beaten very tightly.

On that day, Zhang Xiaodao came to the back mountain early to complain. When he saw the master's wife, he bowed and said, "Master's wife. You have to be fair to me. Senior brother is too bullying."

Han Shuang'er shouted with a pretty face and immediately shouted: "Boss."

The eldest brother walked out in the hut with a cowardly look on his face and defended him: "Master's wife, I'm really bored. Really, I swear to God..."

Seeing that the eldest brother looked cowardly, Zhang Xiaodao quickly took off his clothes, pointed to the bruises and said, "Master's wife, you see, I've beaten me. If this is a slap in the face, you probably won't recognize me."

Han Shuang'er was originally silly laughing, but when she saw Zhang Xiaodao's ugly appearance, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Zhang Xiaodao said unreasonably: "The most important thing is that I will endure it if you beat me. After beating me, I squat down and nag me for half an hour. I can't stand up yet, so I can't stand it."

The master's wife smiled and said, "Okay, you two, don't be bored and joke with the master's wife. I don't know that you have a good relationship in private?"

Zhang Xiaodao looked sad and angry. The eldest brother pulled Zhang Xiaodao up with a smile. He put his hand on his shoulder and said proudly: "Master's wife, my younger brother has made great progress recently. He used to be able to hold on with me for a quarter of an hour, but now he can hold on for a stick of incense."

Feeling that the truth was not right, Zhang Xiaodao, who looked aggrieved, cried and said, "Teacher, you can't arrange some interesting things for the senior brother. Can you not enjoy beating me?"

A laughter came from the hut behind Han Shuang'er, and the gentleman said, "Your senior brother is also for your own good."

"I ate the water today."

Zhang Xiaodao and his senior brother's eyes lit up, and from time to time, a burst of excited shouts came from the mountain. There was no need to guess that Li Yuemei, who was punished to leave the mountain recently, was delicious.

Zhang Xiaodao's accusation completely disappeared after the three words "passing through the water". The eldest brother went to carry the table, Li Yuemei went to get the dishes and chopsticks. The master's wife put the noodles that had been prepared into the stove. The gentleman also took out a chair, as if it was basking in the sun, but in fact she was waiting for her to eat.

The hot noodles were washed with water, the fragrant mushroom sauce and meat braised on the table, and the five people started to eat.

Halfway through the meal, Han Shuang'er, who had never had much appetite, put down her chopsticks and asked, "Xiaodao, are you leaving?"

Zhang Xiaodao nodded. It was late autumn now, and the weather was cold. It was about to enter the middle of winter. The good days he had been in Shengjing were over.

"It's okay, younger brother, if you encounter any problems, call me senior brother, and you will protect you from the wind and rain."

Zhang Xiaodao immediately said: "Really?"

"Really."

Li Yuemei looked at Han Shuang'er pitifully and said, "Can I go with Xiaodao?"

"What are you going to do? Eat all the borders, and there is nothing to eat in the borders."

"Yes, the meat of the green beef in my senior brother is delicious."

The gentleman said at this time, "It's going to snow."

The five people looked up at the impoverished blue sky. Someone was about to refute, but they saw a snowflake swaying from far to near, with a hint of coldness. Then huge snowflakes followed, and when the breeze blew, they turned into snowflakes and drifted down one after another.

The middle of winter is approaching!

The journey will begin!
