The chief guard followed Bai Yitang's gaze, and said with a serious face: "Hero Bai is indeed a chivalrous man as rumored." Otherwise, why would he bother so much for a group of little beggars?

Bai Yitang showed a sneer on his face, squinted at him and said, "Do you think that the rumors are true, that a generation of heroes would give advice to a group of little beggars?"

"In your eyes, they are just a group of beggars, but in my eyes they are human beings just like you, and even have a higher status than you, because they are all a group of children."

The chief guard was stunned, and the guards didn't quite understand his logic. So what if they are children?

"They are children, they will have a longer road to walk than you, and they will naturally have fewer sins than you, so they are better than you." Bai Yitang specially explained, saying: "Don't you often talk about the world? Could it be the land of the king, and the shore of the land, could it not be the subject of the king?"

Bai Yitang pointed to the children who were dressed in ragged clothes in the winter, and there were several children in tattered single clothes, and said, "They are the same as you, they are also royal officials, but they may not even survive this winter."

"Most of the children who are reduced to beggars on the street are exiled due to natural disasters and man-made disasters. They become beggars because their parents or relatives are separated or have died. There are also other random reasons, but no matter what the reason is, they are a group Children, a group of children without the ability to survive and the resources to survive." Bai Yitang said in a deep voice: "They may die of starvation or disease every day, and the chance of dying in winter is even higher. You officials who control the people of the world may not know , but I know that Great Chu is not poor and weak. Except for the occasional wars at the border, most of the people in the Central Plains are at ease. If the imperial court can be as light as Emperor Qianyuan, and the officials are clear and clear, there will not be so many refugees in this world. There will not be so many children who have no parents and become beggars."

The guards were silent.

"To me, these are all lives," Bai Yitang said in a deep voice with fire shining in his eyes, "The root of Lingtianmen is to respect life, no matter how rich or poor, it is a life in my Lingtianmen's eyes , is just one life."

The head guard remained silent, vaguely understanding what Bai Yitang meant.

Bai Yitang was explaining to the emperor through him that one of the original intentions of the establishment of Lingtianmen was not to fight against the imperial court, but to respect life.

Bai Yitang shifted his gaze to the arena, patted the head of the guard on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, you will guard the first arena, it's up to you how many lives you can save this winter, if you keep one more, the more you can save." Earning one hundred taels of silver, one hundred taels of silver can save a lot of people. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. When you are defending the ring, you can count how many levels of pagoda you have built, so that you will be more motivated .”

The emotion in the head guard's heart just disappeared in an instant, and he stared at Bai Yitang who made them do nothing, and ordered two subordinates who were not bad at kung fu to jump onto the ring together.

They were imperial guards, their kung fu might not be as good as Bai Yitang's, but they wouldn't be too weak in the arena. Hmph, if it weren't for Bai Yitang's light kung fu, Bai Yitang wouldn't be their opponent in terms of hand skills alone.

So, foolish people of the rivers and lakes, let your horses come here!

The three guards slammed their swords onto the arena, and their eyes swept across the arena with cold eyes. The knights who were about to squeeze into the arena were silent, and only after a while did one person jump onto the ring on the left and leave behind. A money bag said: "I'll fight with you!"

The round-faced little guard immediately ran up to the ring and picked up the money bag and gave it to Bai Yitang who was sitting in the middle.

Bai Yitang weighed his weight, and cheered for the challenged guard, "You must win, there are countless lives behind you!"

Guard: ...

Challenger: ...

All the knights looked at Bai Yitang with bewildered faces.

Bai Yitang didn't explain much, he just threw the money bag on the table and waved his hand casually: "Okay, let's start!"

As soon as the words fell, the guard drew out his knife with a "swipe", and slashed at the challenger.

The challenger was startled, yelled a few times, narrowly dodged it, and immediately drew out his sword to block it, and the two fought together instantly.

The martial arts people in the audience were excited, and they said, "This is much better than the martial arts competitions in previous years. Even if you can't go to the stage to fight, you can watch them fight, and the learning experience is not a loss."

"Yes, yes, and these people are all imperial guards. You can also see how good the emperor is."

All the guards trembled when they heard this, and they couldn't lose this time, otherwise they would lose face to the emperor and the court, so they hated dealing with people from the Jianghu the most.

What their imperial guards pay attention to is cooperation, advance and retreat together, okay? It's not a gangster, and it doesn't pay attention to individualism.

Zheng Er found Zheng Da and asked in a low voice, "Brother, do we want to go to the ring?"

"Bai Yitang doesn't make a move, what's the use of us going into the ring? And can you beat those imperial guards?"

Zheng Er was indignant, "Are you going to let Bai Yitang go like this? It took so long for him to show up."

"He has the imperial court's backing!" Zheng Da wanted to vomit blood when he said this, Bai Yitang was exiled by the imperial court, and they were supposed to be in opposition, but he actually took refuge in the imperial court.

People from the rivers and lakes like them sing about freedom, but who dares to really oppose the court?

What's more, although their Zhengjiabao was in the rivers and lakes, they were landlords and gentry, and they had a hard time offending the court.

So Zheng Da could only grit his teeth and said: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Bai Yitang has stolen so many officials and gentry, and offended many people. I don't believe the emperor can protect him for the rest of his life. When he finishes handing over the gold and silver treasures, and Let's see how he fares."

"What about the book of war?" Zheng Erdao: "This is almost becoming a heart disease for my father. He is still lying on the bed. If he can buy the book of war, he might be happier."

Zheng Da gritted his teeth and said, "We'll buy it!"

Zheng Jiabao's hands and feet were not clean, and the reason why he was safe and sound was because he had a good relationship with the previous prefect, but that friendship was built with money.

They worked hard, exhausted their brains, and took all kinds of risks to make money, but in the end they had to share so much with each other, and all the officials under them all used their Zhengjiabao as their pockets. In the end, it was not their Zhengjiabao. Powerless?

It's a pity that none of the children in their family are educated, and their boxing skills are average. They can't get ahead in the martial arts, and they don't have a place to speak in the court. That's why his father wanted to use martial arts to become an official. In fact, their boxing skills It's not very good on the rivers and lakes, but it's very good among the people and the army.

With the help of the art of war, it is very possible to stand out, and when they have power, they will naturally not let others slaughter them.

At this moment, Zheng Da understood his father very well. If he had power, would these people from the Jianghu, these guards still dare to look at them with contemptuous and contemptuous eyes?

Zheng Da turned around and left, "Let's go, let's talk to Bai Yitang."

"Will he sell us the book of war?"

"Hmph, isn't the purpose of him teasing us so much in the inn to motivate us to buy military books? Don't worry, he has got his eye on money now, and he will definitely be willing. It's just a matter of more money and less money."

Zheng Er became even more worried, "Brother, our family doesn't have much money anymore."

The birthday banquet this time was a failure, the birthday gift was confiscated, but the family's cash was spent a lot, and a lot of money is still owed.

In the past two days, some folks came to pay the bill with receipts, but now the prefect Sun doesn't like Zhengjiabao very much, so they don't dare to drive people away like before, and pay the bill when they have more money.

Zheng Jiabao's family still has money, but there is not much cash left.

When it came to the birthday banquet, Zheng Da hated it even more, and complained: "Didn't he say that it is okay to exchange things? Keep the cash, let's exchange things!"

Zheng Jiabao used to be a bandit, and there are many good things in his family collection.

It only takes three days by car from Kaifeng to Runing, and it takes only two days if you go fast, but in fact, information dissemination is faster than fast horses.

So not long after the competition here started, the news that Bai Yitang appeared in Kaifeng and brought a large number of boxes has already been sent to Runing Yuan Shanting through special channels.

This made Yuan Shanting, who was just about to pack his luggage and decided to leave for Yazhou tomorrow, spit out a mouthful of old blood. He pointed at Li Baolu who was stunned opposite him with trembling fingers, and said through gritted teeth, "Li—bao——lu!"

Li Baolu came back to her senses, quickly put down her teacup and explained: "I really didn't know my master came to Kaifeng, I swear!"

She really didn't know, besides, why did her master come to Kaifeng? There must still be many Jiang Hu people who have not left there. Will he be surrounded and beaten?

Li Baolu also became anxious, and pulled the note in his hand, saw that there was only one sentence on it, and immediately said anxiously: "Why just one sentence, you are too unprofessional to ask Yuange, what is my master doing in Kaifeng? Not to mention, also, I didn’t write about whether he caused public outrage and was beaten up..."

Seeing Li Baolu in such a hurry, Yuan Shanting suddenly felt much better, he pulled the note back, and said with a blank expression: "This is the message that was sent out early yesterday morning, when Bai Yitang just arrived in Kaifeng, how much can you say? "

Li Baolu stood up with a "bang", turned around and left, Yuan Shanting said coldly behind her: "It's too late for you to rush to Kaifeng now, do you know how many people are left in Kaifeng Mansion? Bai Yitang entering the city alone is like The sheep are in the pack of wolves and want to get out, hum."

Huh?

Li Baolu paused, who said her master entered the city alone?

The note said that his master had brought a lot of boxes, Li Baolu rubbed his chin, he couldn't be lifted with so many boxes!

And based on what she knew about Master, it was impossible for him to break into Kaifeng knowing that it was in danger. Isn't that something a fool would do?

Although her master is not considered wise and powerful, he would not do such a stupid thing.

Li Baolu's restless heart calmed down, and after she calmed down, she began to think more.

So why did her master go to Kaifeng, and what was in the box?

Li Baolu's eyelids twitched, feeling that something big was about to happen.
