royal robes

Chapter 968
After arriving in Tanzhou, Tian Ya ate a big meal first, and then went directly to Chu Palace to report.This is already the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so Tianya kept a low profile a lot, instead of fighting at the gate of the Chu Palace, he asked the guards at the gate to hand over Zhao Pu's autographed letter.

Zhao Pu and Li Hongmao did not exchange letters frequently, but Li Hongmao also knew Zhao Pu's notes and writing style, so he immediately ordered Tian Ya to be brought into the mansion.After all, it was recommended by Zhao Pu, even if you don't like it, you have to give Zhao Pu this face.

Li Hongmao is just a straw bag, not a fool.A person with such wealth and status as Zhao Pu would not easily recommend someone, and he specifically recommended him to his house as a personal bodyguard. This thing was very strange in the first place, and Li Hongmao didn't know Zhao Pu's intention.

The only thing Li Hongmao knows is that Zhao Pu will not harm himself, because it is actually very good for Yandao that he is in charge of the Chu world.Although Salt Island needs to pay taxes to make the trade routes unimpeded, Salt Island is not short of money. If it can be solved with money, Salt Island will be very happy to accept it.

Although Yandao is rich and powerful, they are afraid of trouble.If Salt Island encounters troubles and makes the trade routes impassable, a one or two day's rest will cause them serious losses.No one can tell what policies Yang Ying will have after taking over the whole of Jiangxi, so Yandao hopes that this situation will continue.

Since Li Hongmao knew that Zhao Pu would not harm him, he was very relieved about Tianya.At least this person came to protect himself and was definitely not an assassin.

Li Hongmao was sitting in the living room, surrounded by two guards who were always on guard. Li Hongmao's complexion was not very good, because he was very afraid that Yang Ying would attack him, because at this time, if Yang Ying did something, Li Jing would not dare By falling out with Yang Ying, Yang Ying can take over the entire Jiangxi region smoothly.

For this reason, Li Hongmao has invited many martial arts masters to be his bodyguards, and he also encountered several assassinations, and the masters he invited to be his bodyguards suffered serious casualties.Yang Ying doesn't know how long she can live.

Li Hongmao has been writing letters to Li Jing, hoping that he can send someone with strong martial arts to protect him, but how can Li Jing care about him at this time?Countless strong men of the Zhou army attacked Shouzhou, and Li Jing was also terrified all day long. As long as Shouzhou fell, the Southern Tang Dynasty would be in danger of subjugation.

Tianya was brought to the living room by the guards, and Li Hongmao also knew that the person mentioned in the letter had been brought, but he was not very interested in Zhao Pu's proposal.How many people can a thousand taels of gold invite?It's just that it doesn't work if there are too many people, and the opponent doesn't want to capture the Chu Palace, but just kills himself.

Li Hongmao has no shortage of manpower, let alone loyal subordinates who can die for him. What he lacks is someone who can protect his safety from threats anytime, anywhere, someone who has enough strength to ensure that he will not be killed .

"King Chu, people have already arrived."

Li Hongmao raised his head and looked at Tianya, feeling that this little Taoist priest looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.Maybe it's just because this little Taoist priest looks so pretty, that's why he looks familiar.

"Are you Wu Yazi?"

Tian Ya cupped his hands and said: "Wuliang Tianzun, Pindao is exactly what the letter said Wu Yazi. Because I need a sum of money recently, Master Zhao specially recommends Pindao to come here as a guard. I don't know what the king of Chu wants."

"Okay, there is no problem with this price. I can still afford to protect a thousand taels of gold for half a year. I know that Zhao Pu will not send someone to cheat my money on purpose, but... I want to know how capable you are." Li Hongmao even To save face for Zhao Pu, he will not drive Tian Ya away, and will give him the job of guarding him, and he will never renege on his debts. Thousand taels of gold will definitely be given to this little Taoist priest.

Li Hongmao just wants to know one question now, how is this little Taoist's martial arts, and can he be reliable at critical times.Although the martial arts of the two guards around me are very good, they can't be on guard all day, not to mention that they are the most dangerous when they sleep at night. If there are three people, two of them will work during the day and one will work at night, so they can sleep peacefully.

Of course, Tian Ya's martial arts has no effect on this matter. Even if Tian Ya is a person who does not know martial arts at all, Li Hongmao will accept this matter out of face.After all, it's only a thousand taels of gold, so it doesn't matter if Li Hongmao spends money to support an idler.

Li Hongmao still trusted Zhao Pu, since he dared to ask for 1000 taels of gold, this little Taoist could at least know martial arts, and he shouldn't be too bad.It would be great if he could play a role.

Tian Ya nodded and said: "This is what it should be. After all, if I don't have any real skills as a guard, I have no face to take this money."

Li Hongmao said: "Zhang Cheng Liu Hai, you have done two tricks with Taoist Master Wu Yazi, trying to make him use the so-called real kung fu, but don't attack too hard, so as not to hurt the harmony."

"Of order." Although Zhang Cheng and Liu Hai respected Li Hongmao, they did not forget to bow their hands when answering.

Up to now, Li Hongmao still regards the relationship between Zhao Pu as more important. After all, he collects countless taxes from Yandao every month. If he offends Zhao Pu... I can't imagine.

This trade route goes directly from Yandao to Dazhou, just passing through Tanzhou.But at this time, the Chu border and the Southern Han bordered. If Zhao Pu wanted to, he could take a slight detour instead of going through Tanzhou and turn to the west of the Southern Han Dynasty. Then Tanzhou would not be able to collect taxes at all.

Doing so is just a little troublesome for Yandao, but it is a heavy blow for Tanzhou.After all, Zhao Pu is a businessman, and he is only the shopkeeper of Yandao's business, and he is not the real boss.So Zhao Pu is willing to use Yandao's money to increase his interpersonal relationship. Although doing so is not in the interests of the boss, any businessman will choose this way.

Zhang Cheng Liu Hai took two steps forward, Zhang Cheng said: "Liu Hai, you go and try the martial arts of this Taoist priest Wu Yazi first, don't hurt Taoist priest Wu Yazi, he is a distinguished guest recommended by Lord Zhao. "

"Don't worry, my strikes are serious." Liu Hai didn't mind trying martial arts at all. After all, Tianya was still young, so there was no need to worry about how powerful he was, and he could be completely restrained by just relying on internal strength.

Liu Hai can also be regarded as a teacher from a famous school, about 10 years older than Tianya, and Zhang Cheng is a brother of the same school, both were former disciples of Jinling Dugu Clan, and their swordsmanship is superb.Because the Dugu Clan was lost to Li Jing by Duguhuang, most of the disciples were recruited by Li Jing, and Zhang Cheng Liu Hai was considered a good two of them, so Li Jing sent them as guards to protect Li Hongmao's safety.

Although the martial arts of these two people are not very good, their swordsmanship is really good.It is also thanks to the desperate protection of these two brothers that Li Hongmao can live to this day, which is why Li Hongmao trusts them.

Liu Hai came in front of Tian Ya, and then said softly: "Master Wu Yazi, then I'm going to do it, you have to be careful."

After finishing speaking, Liu Hai punched Tian Ya in front of him.They were by my side when I read the letter just now, and this little Taoist priest actually offered 1000 taels of gold in half a year, which is ten thousand taels of silver...

After seeing Liu Hai's mind, of course he was unbalanced. How could a little Taoist make so much money?Liu Hai's salary is 20 taels of silver a month, which is more than 200 taels a year, and it takes 40 years to earn [-] taels of silver.But this little Taoist priest asked such a high price, and it was only half a year.

Although Liu Hai was upset, he knew his identity, no matter how sarcasm or belittling him, it would not change the fact that Tian Ya could get a thousand taels of gold if he stayed here for half a year, no matter whether he knew martial arts or not.

Liu Hai knew the relationship, and Li Hongmao would not offend Zhao Pu for this little money, but since this person is a guard, it's okay to compete with each other even if he gets injured halfway, this is within the normal scope of work.Although he didn't intend to stab this little Taoist priest a few times, it would be no problem to beat him severely.

Tian Ya stood on the spot, neither dodging nor dodging. The two people behind felt that if this punch hit...the little Taoist priest would be beaten all over the place.Liu Hai's internal strength is not low. Although his greatest ability is to use the sword, his fists and feet are also very dangerous. Even Li Hongmao, an idiot, knows this very well.

Tian Ya lightly raised his hand, and abruptly caught Liu Hai's straight punch. For Tian Ya, this person's skill is too low, and he is not qualified to be his opponent at all.

Li Hongmao and Zhang Chengcheng were a little dumbfounded, because Liu Hai would not give face to this little Taoist priest. He rushed up to shame Tianya, so that he would know that the money was not earned by his own ability, but because of Zhao Pu. recommendation.

As a result, after Tian Ya received the punch, Li Hongmao and Zhang Cheng felt that Liu Hai was letting go. Maybe the punch just now only used [-]% or [-]% of the force, so it was taken by this little Taoist priest, and it was so easy.

Among them, the most surprising thing is Liu Hai, because he used [-]% of his strength in this punch, and there is still qi lingering in the wind of the punch, ordinary martial arts practitioners may not be able to block it even if they resist it with all their strength.

Of course, what surprised Liu Hai the most was not that Tian Ya received the punch, but that when Hai Liu's fist hit Tian Ya's palm, Liu Hai felt that his fist was like a mud cow entering the sea and had no strength at all. Eighty percent strength, but in front of this little Taoist priest, it was like a baby waving, without any power at all.

Tianya didn't let go of Liu Hai's hand, and then gently pulled back, Liu Hai's tense body suddenly leaned forward, and immediately lost his balance.

Tianya also took this opportunity to lightly punch forward...

'touch~~'

The whole world fell silent, and Liu Hai, who was usually pretentious, was punched until he lost his resistance, curled up on the ground in pain, and didn't even have a chance to moan.

Although Tian Ya's punch was not powerful, it was the Sun Moon Promise True Qi taught by Zong Xin.

Naturally, Tian Ya didn't dare to use all his strength, he didn't even have the two kinds of true energy of ice and fire attached, but the moment he hit Liu Hai, Tian Ya turned his fist slightly, and two completely different true energy invaded the bangs. Immediately after the abdomen, the two strands of true energy twisted and entangled with each other, and Liu Hai's viscera was hit with unspeakable pain.
