Duan Xiushi returned to his study with an annoyed face, sat on the chair and sulked, Guo Shichang was too much, he rejected him, he even threatened to write to the court and impeach himself, isn't he just an uncle Guo Ziyi?

He didn't believe that Guo Ziyi, who had always been strict in governing his family, would condone his own people.

Guo Shichang's son is flying in Lingzhou, how many oppressive and good things he has done, he didn't blame their father and son for being tolerant enough, he actually didn't know what to do, and ran to force himself to arrest people!

At noon today, the foreign aid invited by the Liang family cut horses on the street, causing a sensation in Lingzhou City, Guo Sheng ran home and cried, Guo Shichang took his son to assassinate Shi Yamen to report to the official, asking for the arrest of the Liang family's foreign aid, but Duan Xiushi refused.

If it is killing cattle on the street, it does violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty and is exiled for a year and a half, but if it is a horse on the street, it is also a situation, if it is a horse that kills ordinary people, it involves property damage, and the government will also ask about it.

If it is to kill an official horse, the crime is the same as killing a cow, and it is also exiled for a year and a half.

Ten years ago, there was an agreement between the eight giants that as long as they did not involve criminal offenses, general civil disputes would be resolved by themselves.

The killing of the horse was obviously a civil dispute, so Duan Xiushi refused, and he did not accept the case.

What's more, Duan Xiushi knows very well who the Liang family's foreign aid is, and in the case of arresting Li Ande, he still owes the young man a favor.

Duan Xiushi finally remembered where he had heard the name Guo Song.

It was Zhang Feng, the garrison of Xiaoguan, who wrote a letter to him, praising this young Daoist Guo for his strong martial arts and ability to kill eight party rangers alone, and recommended it to him for reuse.

But now Duan Xiushi can't take care of Guo Song a little, Zhang Feng didn't write to him at that time to recommend Guo Song to him, Guo Song just mentioned it in passing, the main content of the letter was to remind him to beware of party members.

The Dangxiang Ranger suddenly appeared between Xiaoguan and Lingzhou, and Zhang Feng suspected that the Dangxiang had other intentions, so he contacted the imperial court as soon as possible.

A few days ago, he discovered a secret but confirmed Zhang Feng's worries, Duan Xiushi, through Li Ande's confession, finally caught the enemy's spies yesterday, Mu Ze, who opened an inn by the Yellow River.

What shocked Duan Xiushi was that this Mu Ze's real name was Tuoba Ze, and he was a party member, and he was actually a spy planted by the party member in Lingzhou.

What does it mean that Li Ande sold intelligence to Xue Yantuo, but traded it through party spies?

It shows that the party members have colluded with the Xue Yantuo people.

Combined with Zhang Feng's reminder, Duan Xiushi faintly felt the seriousness of the situation, whether the party members and Xue Yantuo would join forces to attack Lingzhou.

The property of the population belongs to Xue Yantuo, and the party wants land.

Duan Xiushi paced back and forth in the room with his hands in his hands, and the party members coveted the rich Lingzhou very much, and proposed to the imperial court several times to migrate to Lingzhou, but the imperial court did not agree.

Shuofang's army is now short of troops, and the party members want to seize this opportunity.

The more Duan Xiushi thought about it, the more uneasy he became, he simply took out a pen and paper, took the pen and wrote a note to the imperial court, and implored the imperial court to immediately increase troops to Lingzhou.

After writing the memo, he stamped his big seal and asked a personal soldier to rush to Chang'an immediately and hand over the memo to Guo Ziyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

The soldiers hurriedly went with the twists and turns, and Duan Xiushi was thinking about whether to transfer all the garrisons of Fengzhou, Youzhou, Yanzhou and Xiazhou to Lingzhou and garrison Lingwu County.

It's just that in this way, the troops in these states are empty, and the party members are cheapened in vain.

At this time, there was a familiar sound of footsteps in the yard, and the youngest daughter Duan Sanniang came back.

Duan Xiushi's wife died of illness five years ago, both sons are in Chang'an, the only unmarried youngest daughter Duan Wan followed him to live in Lingzhou for a long time, she is fifteen years old, but she doesn't love red makeup and arms since she was a child, she rides horses and shoots arrows all day long, she has a hot temper, and she is a tomboy.

In the past two years, his daughter has caused him a lot of trouble, but fortunately, it is not a big deal, and Duan Xiushi didn't bother to care about her, so he went with her.

But a few days ago, she secretly gave away her cherished bow, which made Duan Xiushi a little angry, this is a relic left by the handsome Gao Xianzhi, if it wasn't for Guo Song Zhiqu to send it back, wouldn't this bow be gone?

She blamed her for a few words, but she didn't take Gao Xianzhi's relics seriously at all, but blamed Guo Song for not understanding the favor, so angry that Duan Xiushi almost beat her.

"What's the matter with Daddy looking for me?" Duan Sanniang walked in with an unhappy face.

After all, she is only fifteen years old, this is still a virtual age, she was born in Xiaoyue, and she is less than fourteen years old, but the Tang Dynasty people are sensible early, and there are many women who marry at the age of fourteen or fifteen.

But Duan Sanniang is a wooden-headed crystal heart, simple-hearted, simple-minded, clear distinction between good and evil, and a strong sense of justice, pulling the two sisters to fight everywhere.

Duan Sanniang spoke coldly to Guo Song today because Guo Song didn't accept her favor and sent the bow back, which made her very annoyed in her heart.

Today, Guo Song actually killed horses on the street, slapped all their faces, and made her crazy, she went to Linjiabao to find Lin Feng in the afternoon, and wanted to discuss with her how to get back to the field.

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng told that her brother Lin Feng was severely beaten by his father, grounded for a month, and publicly announced that whoever dared to trouble the Guo family would be severely punished.

The two brothers of the Yang family were also severely beaten by their patriarch and banned for half a year.

Duan Sanniang realized that this matter was probably not a simple fight, but had already involved some deep contradictions between the eight wealthy families in Lingzhou.

She went home depressed.

Duan Xiushi's face sank, and he said coldly: "From today onwards, you are not allowed to mix with that group of gentlemen again, if I hear about it again, I will send you back to Chang'an immediately!" ”

Duan Sanniang's face swelled red in an instant, and she said angrily and urgently: "What is a gangster, why does my father say this about his daughter?" ”

"It's not me who says this about you, it's such a rumor outside, what is Guo Shichang's son, do you think I don't know? Lin Jiaoyuan's son Lin Feng sleeps all day long, his reputation has long been stinky, and the two stunned young men of the Yang family, for the so-called knife practice, destroyed more than 200 acres of melons last year, how much did his family lose? You want to be a woman, to help the weak, fight unevenly, Daddy doesn't care about you, but you are with this group of gentlemen, Daddy will never tolerate it. ”

"My daughter didn't go with them every day, she just met by chance, today Liang Ling'er and I went hunting outside the city, and when we returned to the city, we met them and came back together!"

After listening to his daughter's explanation, Duan Xiushi's face softened slightly, and said: "Don't mess around with Guo Song's affairs, Liang Yundao has publicly stated his attitude, insulting the foreign aid he asked for is insulting the Liang family, now the enemy is current, the eight wealthy families must put aside their grievances and work together to fight the enemy, Guo Shichang is not sensible, and their family head may not be as stupid as him." ”

Duan Sanniang knew that there was no hope of revenge, so she had to say listlessly: "My daughter knows." ”

"There you go!" Duan Xiushi waved his hand, Duan Sanniang saluted, and slowly retreated.

Duan Xiushi pondered for a moment, then took out a nanmu box from the box, opened it, and inside was a two-stone bow with simple workmanship, this is the small heavenly bow of the famous general Nan Jiyun, after Nan Jiyun died, the whereabouts of this bow are unknown.

Duan Xiushi is a collector of weapons, and ten years ago, he stumbled upon it in a bow shop in the capital and has been collecting it ever since.

He really likes Guo Song's martial arts, and he has the heart to give him this bow, but if he gives him this bow directly, first, it seems abrupt, and secondly, Guo Song may not be willing to ask for it, so he has to think of a roundabout way.

.........

There are still two days left before the Shuofang Martial Arts Meeting, and Guo Song still doesn't have a suitable bow, not only he is in a hurry, but even the Liang family is in a hurry.

That morning, Liang Wu mysteriously pulled Guo Song aside and said, "I heard that there are good things in the weapons shop, do you want to go and see them together?" ”

"Didn't you say that the armory shops are all big road goods, and there are no good things? That's why they dragged me to the black market. ”

"I just heard a rumor, I don't know if it's true or not, let's go and see if it's true!"

Guo Song happily put on his robe and said with a smile: "I'd rather believe it, what if it's true?" Let's go! ”

The two left Liangjiabao and walked briskly towards Lingzhou East Street.

There are two weapons shops in Lingwu County, one is government-run and the other is private, and the variety of government-run shops is monotonous, all of which are standard weapons made by the ordnance supervisor, mainly for the military.

However, private armory shops have more varieties and flexible operations, so they may be able to buy good things.

Guo Song saw the huge signboard of the 'Qingtian Weapon Shop' from afar, which is the branch of the famous weapons shop 'Qingtian Liang' in Lingzhou in Beijing, a very atmospheric store name, the shop is two feet wide, and there seem to be many customers inside.

Guo Song and Liang Wu walked into the store, there were twenty or thirty customers in the store, most of them were disciples of various martial arts halls, and there were also ordinary residents, Lingzhou had reached an extraordinary moment, the whole city was nervous, and the attention of the weapon shop had increased a lot more than usual.

"Chubby!"

Guo Song unexpectedly met Shi Tong in the store, and he asked curiously, "You are also here to buy weapons?" ”

Shi Tong's fat face turned red, and he didn't know how to answer.

Liang Wu next to him explained with a smile: "Our Liang family has a few components in the Divine Sword Martial Arts Hall, and this time the Divine Sword Martial Arts Hall also has a quota to participate in the martial arts meeting, and the Liang family recommends Xiaopang." ”

Guo Song suddenly understood, it must be because of himself, the Liang family gave Shi Tong a little reward, but what would the Guo family think when they knew it, you know, Shi Tong's mother and son are currently attached to Guo Jiabao, and this dependence relationship is not something that can be lifted if you want to.

If the Liang and Guo families are close, this is indeed a trivial matter, but the two families have deep contradictions, and this matter is really a bit troublesome.

Guo Song didn't know what to say, so he smiled and arched his hand: "I see, congratulations to Xiaopang!" ”

Shi Xiaopang's face was flushed, and he scratched his head and said: "This is because the Liang family looks up to me, so they gave me this opportunity, but the swordsmanship is really not good, I am afraid of embarrassing the Liang family and the martial arts hall." ”

Shi Xiaopang pleaded with his palms together with a reverent face: "Can Brother Guo come tomorrow to instruct the little brother in two moves?" ”

"Yes! I'm going to see my aunt tomorrow, and I'll give you two tricks by the way. ”

Shi Xiaopang was overjoyed, "Then thank you, Brother Guo." ”

Liang Wu was really envious in his heart, and tomorrow he would have to rub his luck.
