The four of them continued to walk towards Tongzhou, and the road was calm, but they found the two armies fighting outside Tongzhou! One side was in black armor, and the atmosphere was solemn, and it could be seen at a glance that they were battle-hardened soldiers, but the number was a little less than that of the other side, and the other side was also waiting for battle.

"Datang left and right, Jin Wuwei!" Steward Wang said excitedly, "It's General Cheng Qing! Tongzhou is saved."

Han Tongwen saw a middle-aged man in silver armor riding a horse in the front, with a square face and a resolute face.

"General Cheng Qing is the commander of the left and right Jin Wuwei, the size has participated in dozens of wars, his Jin Wuwei is known for his iron blood and ferocity, General Cheng Qing has been seriously injured many times and still fights the front line, six years ago the Golden Wolf Empire sneak attack, General Cheng Qing faced ten times the Golden Wolf Army alone, fighting for thirteen days to win. There were more than 100 sword wounds on his body, His Majesty looked at General Cheng Qing's body and cried bitterly, if there are generals like Cheng Qing in the future, the country will not be lost for all generations. Prestige, intimidating the four countries"

"What a fierce general!" Han Tongwen said

"Xia Fangxiao'er, you dare to invade my Tang territory and kill 100,000 of my border army, this time Lao Tzu will definitely behead you and your horse!"

"Cheng Qing, if you tell the Tang Emperor that this Xizhou will belong to me from now on, and then I will stop the war in Great Xia, otherwise I will be killed in Chang'an" The main general of Great Xia is named Xia Fang, and he is the most determined main battle faction of the Great Xia military.

"If you want to eat Xizhou, I'm afraid that your mouth is not good, and you dare to break the covenant, then this war is not something you can talk about peace talks this time," Cheng Qing mocked

"Hmph, surrounded by enemies, you dare to be so arrogant, it's useless to say more, and you can see the truth under your hands"

"Kill!" Cheng Qing took the lead in the enemy formation, and no one could stop him with a mountain opening knife.

"It seems that we won't be able to enter the city today," Han Tongwen said

"I know a path to the city, follow me"

After all, Steward Wang has lived in Tongzhou for fifty or sixty years, and he is familiar with all kinds of small roads, and finally the four of them entered Tongzhou City before dark. Tongzhou City is much bigger than Huizhou City, and it is also much more prosperous, it is already evening, there are still many pedestrians on the street, Han Tongwen somewhat understands why Datang is still undefeated in the land of the four wars, because of the fierce folk customs of Datang. Outside the city is the Great Xia army, and the city is still singing and dancing, perhaps the only difference between them and usual when the soldiers come to the city is that they have a knife on their waists, ready to fight to the death when the city is broken, and the Tang people have not succumbed to survive.

The street food is dazzling, and the mouth is full of water

"Master" Qiao Song wiped his saliva and pulled the sleeve of Han Tongwen, who had been staring at the food stall

Han Tongwen swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Qiao Song's expectant gaze, "Okay, buy it!"

The two masters ignored the eyes of Wang Muyue and Steward Wang, and devoured for a while

"Master Sugar Gourd"

"Okay, buy"

"Master stinky tofu"

"Okay, buy"

"Master, Sugar Man"

"Okay, buy"

"Master"

"Okay, buy"

"No, I mean I want to go to the hut!" Qiao Song's face flushed

"The master also wants to go, where is the thatched house!" Han Tongwen then remembered that Wang Muyue's house was in Tongzhou, and looked at Wang Muyue with ulterior motives

"Now you know to ask me," Wang Muyue smiled, "Let's go, it's not far ahead!"

didn't care about looking at the magnificent Thorn History Mansion, and rushed towards the mansion, and the guards were just about to stop when they saw Wang Muyue and screamed

"Miss, you're back."

"Yes, I'm back, go and take Han Gongzi to the thatched house" Wang Muyue regained her cold face, "I'll go to the study and the back house to say goodbye to my father and mother"

"Yes!"

Han Tongwen walked out of the thatched house with an unhappy face, without him, because he couldn't stand the toilet chips! After entering the thatched house for a while, he found that what was in front of him was not paper, but a lot of bamboo sticks and wooden sticks, some of which were barbed on them, which made people want to die. Han Tongwen really wanted to catch someone and see what this thing was

How to use it, whether to poke or pull a good thing to destroy the toilet.

"Master Han, our lord invites you to come over," said the little servant in the house

"Okay"

Han Tongwen pulled Songhe to follow behind the little guy, and washed his hands in the artificial lake when he passed the rockery.

"Qiao Song, remember to clean your hands after Gong Gong in the future, otherwise don't eat with the master, you know?"

"Why do you want to clean your hands?"

"There's no why, because it's the master who said it" Han Tongwen has a headache, and the hygiene of the ancients is really not in place.

The Thorn Mansion is very large, and it is a big mansion with three entrances. At this time, the assassin was heavily guarded, and the armor soldiers could be seen everywhere, and during the war, Wang Tai, as an important official, his safety was naturally very important, and one by one the approval documents were sent from the study to various places in Tongzhou. The servant led him outside the study, where the lights were bright, and the shadow in the study could be seen in front of the desk through the window paper.

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu" shouted from inside the house, Han Tongwen pushed the door and entered, and Wang Tai did not raise his head

"When the war breaks out, Tongzhou will be the front line against Great Xia, all priority will be given to supplying the army, and from today onwards, the use of money and grain for all yamen will be halved, and in order to prevent the war from entering a protracted war, grain and grass should be mobilized from nearby states. The Great Xia Empire has been recuperating from wolf ambitions for ten years, and now that they have taken Xizhou, they will definitely not be willing to spit out this piece of fat that has reached their mouths. Mr. Liu, you can draft a request for help, and you don't have to exaggerate the current situation, after all, the other two lines are also tight. ”

Seeing that no one answered him, Wang Tai raised his head, "Who are you?" asked Wang Tai

"In Hahantongwen!"

"Oh, which Han Shaoxia are you who escorted the little girl back?" Wang Tai got up with a smile on his face, "Please take a seat, now that the war has started, the official has no time to separate, if there is any inconsiderate hospitality, I hope to forgive me."

"Lord Assassin Shi is worried about the country and the people, how dare you bother in the future, and leave with the apprentice tomorrow!" Han Tongwen was not prepared to stay in Tongzhou for a long time, his destination was Chang'an.

"Then how can you do it, you save the little woman's life and let Wang someone repay you"

"Lord Thorn Shi is serious, Miss Wang is hired to be a guard, so she naturally needs to fulfill the responsibility of a guard, and she will leave tomorrow after taking what she deserves," Han Tongwen said with a smile

Wang Tai couldn't understand the young man in front of him, if he was greedy for money, then by sending Wang Muyue to the mansion of the assassin to get in touch with the Assassin Mansion, he would have a bright future from now on, if he was not greedy for money, he could position the relationship with Muyue as an employment relationship as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Yue'er, the strange boy you said is in your father's study?" A thick voice came from outside the door, thinking it was Wang Muyue's grandfather Wang Qingyang.

"Yes, grandpa, you will definitely like him" was Wang Muyue's voice

"Today's young people can put together a few sentences of poetry and think they are literati, flashy and unrealistic, without the slightest use. If that kid is also such a person, the old man will break his leg and throw him out," Wang Qingyang laughed half-jokingly and half-seriously

The door of the study was pushed open, and an old man with a straight body walked in, followed by Wang Muyue

"Father, why are you here" Wang Tai hurriedly got up, and Han Tongwen also got up

"I heard this baby girl say that there is a young man with all-round talents in the Assassin Mansion, and he has to ask the old man to come over. Wang Qingyang smiled and shook his head, he didn't want to come over, what kind of young man he had never seen after living in his seventies, but he couldn't help but let his granddaughter come over and have a look.

"Junior Han Tongwen visits the prince" Han Tongwen saluted

Wang Qingyang is not only the last assassin of Tongzhou, but also worked as a scholar of the Ministry of Rites in Chang'an, and he did not return to his hometown until he was old and wanted to enjoy his family.

"You are Han Tongwen who saved Yue'er, this road has been bumpy, you can be regarded as a young hero" Wang Qingyang said with a smile, but this is just to be polite and to express gratitude.

"The young hero can't afford it, it's just that he was hired by Miss Wang, and our master and apprentice are ready to leave after taking the commission" Wang Qingyang seemed to mind him a little in his expression, but he didn't care, and Han Tongwen was not ready to stay for a long time.

"Oh, how many taels of silver," Wang Qingyang said with a smile

"Fifty taels of silver in the mercenary gold, and a horse is lost in the middle, five taels, a total of fifty-five taels!" Han Tongwen said with a smile

"Tai'er, order someone to take sixty taels to him" Wang Qingyang seemed to be at odds with Han Tongwen, Wang Muyue was a little unhappy, "Grandpa, how can you be like this?"

In a few moments, a man brought a plate of silver

"This is sixty taels, do you order?" Wang Qingyang said

"It's indeed sixty taels," Han Tongwen was not polite, took two ingots and put them on the table, and said to Wang Qingyang with a smile: "When we meet for the first time, these five taels of silver should be regarded as a meeting gift for you."

"Bold!" Wang Tai shouted, the royal family has a lot of money, don't say sixty taels, even six thousand taels don't pay attention to it, these five taels of silver are a naked slap in the face.

Wang Qingyang was not angry, and looked at Han Tongwen with interest

"The commission is fifty-five taels, each tael is what I deserve, what is this extra five taels, is it a reward? But I don't seem to be from your assassination mansion, so I don't need it. Han Tongwen called Qiao Song in, and the two put away the silver

"Farewell, several!" he said and prepared to go out.

"Xiaoyou, you misunderstood, these five taels of silver are extra commissions, and the hardships along the way are subsidies," Wang Qingyang said
