It was three watches after returning home from the Tongfu banquet, but when Sun Tu entered the house, he found that there was still a faint light in the middle room from the crack in the door, and after gently pushing the door open, he saw Ya'er's slightly thin figure lying on the table, asleep. But when he pushed the door, the alert little girl woke up immediately, and after turning her head to look, her face showed surprise: "Third brother, are you back?" ”

"Why don't you sleep so late?" After Sun Tu entered the house, he reproached with some distress, looking at Ya'er's appearance, he knew that she must have been holding on just now, but she still couldn't withstand the drowsiness from the invasion, so she slept on the table.

"The third brother must have been selected for the shooting test today, so I naturally have to wait for you here. Are you hungry, it's still hot in the kitchen? Ya'er said that she had stood up and was about to go out, but was stopped by Sun Tu: "You stupid girl, you just have to sleep when I'm late, and it's not too late to congratulate me tomorrow." ”

"It's different, I just want to congratulate the third brother as soon as possible. The third brother came so late, he must have passed the exam, so he celebrated with others outside, right? Ya'er sniffled as she spoke, and immediately smelled the other party's wine.

"Yes, I did get in, and your third brother will soon be an official." Sun Tu touched her hair with some emotion: "It's me who owes consideration, I didn't expect you to wait for me at home all the time, and I hope you don't get angry with me." ”

"I won't, it's a good thing that the third brother can be an official, and it is also appropriate to socialize outside." The little girl hurriedly shook her head and said. Then he said a little worriedly: "And from today onwards, the third brother will be an official, Ya'er is only afraid that you won't want me then." ”

"How is this possible? We are a family, and no one will want you if I don't want it. Unless you're getting married, we'll always be together. ”

"I won't get married, so I'll always be by my third brother's side and take care of you." Ya'er's face flushed slightly as she spoke, and she peeked at Sun Tu again, but found that the other party just smiled indifferently and didn't realize the meaning of her words, which made her feel both relieved and a little lost at the same time.

Sun Tu didn't dwell on this matter for too long, just patted her on the shoulder: "Okay, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow." Now all you have to do is hurry back to your room and sleep, or I'll be so tired that I'm going to feel distressed. ”

With his words, Ya'er naturally didn't insist anymore, and went back to the room with steamed buns still hot in the kitchen. And Sun Tu stood there smiling and shaking his head, this little girl has been caring more and more about people recently, which really touched him and felt a little pity.

But it's not a matter of doing this, and when you really become an official, you should also go and invite some slaves to go home, and you can't always let a little girl take care of her housework.

Nothing was said all night.

After dawn, Sun Tuzai made a big pot of noodles for himself and Ya'er, and after he was full, he planned to go out to find Lin Chong, and tell the other party the good news that Tong Guan was willing to help, and by the way, he also told Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen, two friends, that he had been admitted to the military attaché.

But just as he was out of the door and walked towards the mouth of the alley, he saw a person standing under the big tree at the entrance of the alley, looking at him steadily. After recognizing it carefully, I remembered that this person was the candidate named Zhou Jin who had spoken a few words to him in the third class yesterday.

Zhou Jin also saw Sun Tu at a glance, and immediately walked towards him, and only when he came to the front did he look straight at him and said, "Sun Tu, I am here to challenge you today." ”

"Huh?" Sun Tu stared at the other party in some surprise, and he was a little unsure of this person's thoughts. This is not a martial arts, and the two of them are not ordinary Jianghu guests, why did they put forward a challenge?

But what Zhou Jin said afterwards quickly made him understand: "You were just lucky yesterday, so you were appreciated by the emperor." In my opinion, your martial arts are not superior to mine, and it is only because the emperor was not there when I performed that you were cheapened. I'm going to prove it, you won't dare to compete with me, will you? ”

"Brother Zhou, why bother? Even if we can divide the winner and loser, it can't change the outcome, so why bother? Sun Tu shook his head and refused to fight, he had already passed the age of being brave and ruthless, at least his mental age.

"No, even if I can't change anything, I'm going to prove that I'm better than you!" Zhou Jin insisted: "Unless you say in front of everyone now that you were just luckier yesterday, but you can't compare to me, then I can let you go." As he spoke, he stepped forward aggressively.

Speaking of which, no matter how good Sun Tu's temper was, he couldn't bear it, so he immediately said, "Okay, then let me learn your Excellency's tricks." But I don't know if you want to compare archery, or something else? The tone was quite unkind.

Zhou Jin had already had a plan, and immediately said: "Archery skills don't need to be compared, but you and I are also equal, just talk about fist and foot kung fu!" As he spoke, he had put on a posture to invite battle.

At this time, there were not many pedestrians around, but as soon as they saw that these two people were about to make a move, they quickly gathered a lot of people to come over to see the excitement. And Sun Tu thought about it for a while, and planned to teach the other party a lesson - obviously Zhou Jin felt that he had no chance of winning after seeing his attainments in the bow and arrow, so he wanted to win with his fists and feet, which was obviously deliberate.

At that moment, Sun Tu also ignored the onlookers around him, stretched out his hand to make a move at the other party, signaling Zhou Jin to attack first. He is confident that with his own skills and the improvement he has obtained from always fighting with good players like Lu Zhishen during this time, it will not be difficult to deal with the person in front of him.

Zhou Jinke didn't know that in fact, his fists and feet were Sun Tu's strongest point, so he was not polite at the moment, he shouted lowly, and he had already strides and swung his fists to attack. This punch was extremely powerful, and the explanation was also quite tricky, directly hitting Sun Tu's left neck, and at the same time, his other hand was already gaining momentum, as long as the opponent showed a slight flaw between retreating and parrying, he would deliver a heavy blow.

But his mind had already been seen through by Sun Tu, seeing the fist coming, he only turned to one side, and then he had already conceded, and at the same time, one hand had been quickly hit on the opponent's arm, which shocked Zhou Jin's arm numbly, and then he found that Sun Tu was far stronger than he judged.

But he still had confidence in his martial arts, and immediately showed his back moves, saw the opportunity, and blasted towards the flaws exposed by Sun Tu between the starting blocks with a punch. But this moment it was in the other party's arms, I saw Sun Tu smile, the other hand had already caught up, and the latter grabbed the opponent's fist first, and at the same time, the hand that parried before also suddenly hooked and flipped over, and also buckled the opponent's arm.

The fist and foot competition that was originally wide open and closed suddenly turned into a small grappling, which made Zhou Jin unexpected, and also made him immediately a little out of proportion, and hurriedly tried to get rid of it. His martial arts are all learned in the army, so he is naturally not good at dealing with such grappling skills.

But random Zhou Jin found that the situation was wrong, and he couldn't break free from Sun Tu's control with all his strength. It was only then that he suddenly remembered that the other party could pull away the three-stone strong crossbow that he couldn't pull yesterday, so he was completely at a disadvantage in terms of strength. It was only at this time that he realized how much mistake he had made, and he knew that he should have compared himself with Sun Tu.

But now he can't afford to regret it anymore, so he can only try his best to get out and distance himself. But just when he was engrossed in his hands and wanted to get rid of Sun Tu's control, a strong force suddenly came from the lower plate, and Sun Tu actually swept his leg while he was patronizing his hand, and kicked it on his ankle.

Zhou Jin's body immediately lost its balance, and with an exclamation, the person had leaned to the side. At this time, Sun Tu originally clasped his hands and also violently exerted force, pushing in the direction of his pulling. Suddenly, Zhou Jin's body was completely out of control, and in an extremely embarrassed posture, he fell to the ground, unable to even hold it up with his hands, and directly made close contact with the ground.

The onlookers immediately burst into laughter when they saw such an ugly rout, and Zhou Jin's face at this time also became like a pig's liver, and he didn't know if it was because he fell to the ground and was angry, or because of shame. didn't dare to linger at the moment, and after getting up in embarrassment, he covered his head and fled quickly, but he didn't even dare to say anything about the scene.

Sun Tu didn't make any more trouble, just sneered and watched him leave. Since this guy is looking for trouble for himself because of face, let him lose all his face here.

At this time, a burst of applause rang out from the side, and one person praised: "San Lang, you are really good, it is really eye-opening!" Sun Tu turned around and saw Tong Muzheng walking over from the side with a smile.
