It is better to read a child by not having to read a word, fighting a cock and riding a horse. The Jia family is thirteen years old and is not as good as wealth and prosperity in the generation.

In the fifth year of Zhenyuan, Dali, Weizhou, Hebei Road

This is a majestic city with dark and thick walls and garrisons gathered with tricks. All the soldiers with armor and slight halberds are prominent - this place is the capital of Weibo Town. Looking around, in this city, the ratio of those who hold the knife and bow is actually seven to one to ordinary people. In other words, every time there are seven people on the streets of Weizhou, one of them must be from a military background. Such a high ratio of soldiers and civilians makes this several prosperous and important towns in Hebei more depressed and violent.

However, unlike elsewhere, in a small alley next to the Meili Jiedu Mansion, there was no such cold feeling at this moment. Instead, a group of rich children in brocade and satin were shouting and yelling excitedly at the two cocks in a small arena.

"Pede it, go up and peck it. You idiot, you have spent two thousand gold to buy you back!" Seeing his "Golden Sword Huang" who spent a lot of money to get back in the arena, Tian Zhen took out the silver, and cursed with red eyes. In just a moment, he had already lost three consecutive games and outputted 1,500 taels of silver. Such a huge amount of money was enough to make him sad, and he could not bear the stimulation of Tian Ji's crazy laughter on the other side.

He stretched out a hand full of gold, silver, pearls and jade, stroking the wings of the cockfighting feathers with caress. Tian Ji smiled at Tian Zhen, who was red-eyed beside him and said, "Brother Ninth Brother, the Tenth Brother is the holy cockfighting master in the Hebei region. I am here to come from Bozhou to seek help. Now Brother Ninth Brother hasn't seen him yet, but Brother Tenth Brother's cockfighting! Haha."

Tian Zhen is the tenth among the eleven sons of Tian Chengsi, the former governor of Weibo. Like his ninth brother Tian Xi, he does not love acrobatics, nor does he like swords, guns, and horses. The only thing he likes is this cockfighting drama. Tian Ji, who fought with him this time, is the youngest brother of the current governor Tian Yue. Tian Chengsi died that day and did not pass on his foundation to his son, but gave it to his nephew Tian Yue, which was enough to make these eleven brothers feel depressed, but fortunately Tian Yue was still sure.

Ming Dynasty forced his direct relatives to be moved to Bozhou to settle in order to avoid conflict with these young men. However, Tian Ji came to Weizhou while paying his birthday to his elder brother. He also loved fighting cocks, and he had no words to meet the Jiedu Mansion and then teased Tian Zhen Mansion to fight with him. Therefore, although it was a small cockfight, due to this extremely high bet and the special identities of the two, it became quite unusual.

Tianzhen was so angry that he felt sorry for Yinzi, and was embarrassed by his brother who lost to Tian Yue. At this time, he could not help but want to make a big move and call the young master to make a fuss and beat people. Finally, there were people around him who knew the importance of the matter, and he held him tightly with his eyes red, so that he would not have a full martial arts movement.

"Agui, go and invite my brother Jiu to come, and let him bring 'Cangbeixiong'!" After a moment of silence, Tian Zhen gradually calmed down. He also knew that the person in front of him had a special identity. Now he was not as good as the old man when he was alive. He was afraid that he would suffer a loss. After all, he was the brother of the current governor. After understanding this, he glared at Tian Ji fiercely and ordered the followers beside him.

Seeing Tian Zhen's behavior, Tian Ji smiled and ignored it. Instead, he turned around and sat on the Hu bench with a golden sword. While drinking the strong wine in his carry-on bag, he glanced at his opponent and teased the people around him: "If you don't come to Weizhou, you don't know that money is so easy to make; now, another one will come to give money. The men will serve the marquis today. When they return to Bozhou, I will give you a reward. Everyone will buy a water spirit girl from Jiangnan!" Amid his ambition and full of laughter, there was a tide of praise.

He gritted his teeth and kept silent. Tian Zhen could not see Tian Ji's complacent look, and only stared at the street corner with a pair of bright flashing eyes, waiting for Brother Jiu to arrive.

After about two incense sticks, I saw him suddenly lit up. As I stood up to meet the entrance of the alley, I shouted excitedly: "Brother Jiu, you are finally here. Have you brought Cangbeixiong?"

Tian Xinai, who was called Jiu Ge, was a thin man about twenty-eight years old. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and handsome in appearance. He was originally a romantic capital, but unfortunately the occasional aggression and pale look at the corners of his eyes destroyed his demeanor a lot.

"Tenth brother, how much did you lose?" Tian Xi has always loved his mother and fellow brother, so when he heard that he sent someone to invite him, he did not delay any further, and then came.

"I lost three games in one game," said Tian Zhen's eyes began to turn red again. In the Tang Dynasty, silver was used less and there was very little circulation on the market, so it was extremely expensive, 1,500 taels, which is not a small number for these idle young men.

"Oh! The bet was so big!" Tian Xi was slightly stunned when he heard this number, and looked at his younger brother with a reproach.

"I can't stand the people in Tian Yue's family so arrogant!" Just this sentence immediately made Tian Xi have nothing to say.

After nodding, Tian Xi stepped forward to meet Tian Ji perfunctorily, the two sides started a fight again immediately. However, the bet turned over again in the blink of an eye, and became a gamble of Qianliang.

After checking that the other party's cockfighting claws were not abnormal, the two cockfightings were immediately put on the field and began a desperate battle with the sound of Xiao Jingong.

The Tang people's love of fighting cocks originated very early. First, Du Yan, the censor of the early Tang Dynasty, loved fighting cocks, and presented them to Taizong with this meaning to the poem. After Taizong read the book, "Jiatan Seven" was promoted to his official position. There were many people who loved this Taoism in all dynasties. In Kaiyuan and Tianbao, because of Xuanzong's love, this drama became popular all over the world and lasted for a long time. At that time, a child from Chang'an, Jia Chang, was good at playing chickens for the emperor's appreciation, summoned him to the palace to be a chicken house. He managed the chicken house between the two palaces, and found thousands of "roosters" in the world, so he ordered him to practice it. Later, Jia

Chang was more and more favored by the emperor because of his goodness in playing chickens. Even when Fengshan Mountain, he ordered him to take 300 cockfightings to accompany him. Later, his father died of illness, and Jia Chang returned to his hometown of Yongzhou with his father. The emperor also issued an edict, ordering local officials to provide funerals and carts, and traveled to Luoyang Road. The favor was unparalleled. Sometimes, the proverb said: "If a child does not need to know words, fighting a cock is worse than reading. The Jia family's children are thirteen years old, and their wealth and prosperity are not as good as that of the generations." After decades, the rooster fighting drama has spread all over the world, and the Tang Dynasty has always been prosperous but still strong.

As soon as the fighting arena, the two cocks began to stretch their necks and wings and roam to fight each other. Unlike Tian Ji's "Cang Crown Corolla" with brilliant body and high momentum, Tian Xi's "Cang Back" looks extremely ordinary, with a slightly thin body and a feather of uneven lengths. The only difference is the dark blue feather on its back that is about two fingers wide and from the neck to the tail, and this is exactly the origin of its name "Cang Back".

While speaking, the two cockfightings had already ended their roaming phase. The first attack was "Cangbei". He flapped his wings and jumped hard. The first move he took was "Feng Nod". This move was one of its distinguished skills. Because of its quick movements and extremely accurate landing, he often could jump to the opponent's neck in one fell swoop, peck at the opponent's flower crown, or even wipe out the opponent's eyes in one blow. This was the most cruel person.

However, Tian Ji's flower crown handsome man was already prepared for this. At the moment when Cang's back leaped up, he saw it retreat and barely avoiding it. He even took advantage of Cang's back to his unsteady foot and stretched out his sharp mouth like an eagle's beak like lightning. With just a moment, a shrill rooster crow sounded. Cang's back, which had been undefeated for three years in Hebei, was actually destroyed in the first move.

This change came too quickly. Tian Xi never expected that Cangbei, who had always loved her as treasures, was so unbearable today. At this time, Tian Ji laughed loudly and said, "Uh, uh! This is the 'Cangbei's bravest 'haha, he can't even get through the two moves of the Flower Crown handsome. Ninth Brother, you can't let me give in! That... boy, since Ninth Master has given such a generous gift, everyone will not thank you for your reward!"

Listening to the harsh "Thank you for a reward", Tian Xi's eyes began to become bloody quickly. In a vague manner, he seemed to have returned to his childhood. Because his mother was humble, he was ridiculed and humiliated by his brothers and the people in the mansion. He trembled with his hands and took out a thousand taels of silver "Feibai". Tian Xi sucked the air conditioner and said to Tian Ji who was smug and smiled: "Thirteen, do you dare to bet with me again."

He raised his lips and flicked the "Flying White" in his hand with his hands. Tian Ji smiled and said, "I have nothing else, this gambling product! Brother Jiu can rest assured, but what are you going to fight my flower crown? Brothers, don't blame me for not reminding you that my flower crown has been traveling thousands of miles from Chang'an. It is an authentic chicken farm species passed down by the Xuanzong Dynasty. Hebei Road wants to beat its cockfighting, hum..."

"Oh! The famous chicken farm, okay, it's okay, my destruction is not wronged. Since that's the case, I want to 'blood fight' with you, bet 3,000 taels, and the two sides fight cocks!", squinted his eyes and squeezed out this sentence almost word by word. Anyone who is familiar with the old ninth person knows that at this time he is on the verge of going wild, and the fierceness in his eyes is getting stronger and stronger.

"Blood Fight!" Tian Ji was stunned when he heard this, and hesitated to look at his majestic handsome man in the flower crown. It turned out that the method of blood fighting was to allow the cockfighting bench and finger claws to place iron sharp steel sleeves. Often, a fierce fight must be "flying blood all over the green field and sprinkling blood stains". The scene was extremely bloody, but it was the most exciting. However, after such a fight, even if the winner was the winner, most of them were seriously injured and dying, and it was difficult to fight. Therefore, most famous cockfighting encounters, and they were definitely unwilling to use both sides to suffer losses unless they had to be absolutely necessary.

"Go, ride my horse and invite Mr. Tong to me quickly! If you can't invite me, break your legs!" After giving Changsui a stern command, Tian Xi turned his head and smiled contemptuously, "What, Lao Thirteen dare not?"

The so-called losing people does not lose, not to mention Tian Ji, who has always been domineering, only heard him laugh and say, "Since Brother Jiu insists on giving me silver, I am not polite, three thousand taels of silver, Hua Guan is worth it!"

This time, Changsui came quickly. Just when Tian Jizheng was personally installing iron claws for the flower crown, he saw a middle-aged Confucian scholar who looked ordinary and dressed like a fallen scholar, following Tian Xi's Changsui's horse.

"Mr. I'm here just right. This time I'm making a heavy bet. No matter what, I want to win money, but also win back this breath." He waved his hand to stop Mr. Tong's greeting. Tian Xi took his hand and said hurriedly.

"Oh! It turns out that it is only a flower crown, this kind of thing is rare! No wonder even Cangbei lost to it." Turning his head and looking at the field, Mr. Tong had already understood the situation.

"It's true that it's Ming. What should we do? Cangbei is ruined!" After hearing this, Tian Zhen asked anxiously before Tian Xi could speak.

"What are you afraid of? Isn't the Tenth Master's 'Golden Sword Yellow' still there?" Mr. Tong, who was not astonishing, said casually.

"But the Golden Knife has lost to it just now!"

"It's okay, fighting cocks is not only a chicken, but more importantly, it's a human being. Back then, the Jia Ji Envoy carried a grass chicken from the street, and it also lost General Yuchi's "Hua Feng". Although he didn't have the ability of Jia Ji Envoy, the Golden Knife Huang was not comparable to the street grass chicken!" When he said this, the inconspicuous Mr. Tong looked proud all over his eyes.

"Brother Zhen, Mr. Tong disappointed my brother that time. If he hadn't been with him, how could he have fought with Tian Ji like this?" He patted Mr. Tong's arm gently, and Tian Xi smiled gloomyly.

At this moment, Mr. Tong leaned over and hugged the turtle-contracted "Golden Knife Huang" from his cage. After using the servants to block the sight of Tian Ji and others, he saw that his throat kept croaking. In less than a moment, the golden knife that was still listlessly rose in Tian Zhen's surprised eyes, and his mouth was even more "gurgling", as if singing with Mr. Tong.

"Brother Jiu, Old Tong can do this? No wonder you have never lost the cockfighting since you took such a family three years ago. It's amazing, it's amazing!" Tian Zhi, who was straightened by his eyes, exclaimed in his mouth.

"Tenth brother, when you see him in the future, you will call Mr. Tong. This person's ability is far from being able to fight cocks. You will naturally know as time goes by." Tian Xi, who was completely relieved, glanced at Tian Jihou, who was combing his feathers for the handsome man in the flower crown, and said softly.

After a brief incense stick, after putting on the armor cover for the yellow feathers with a sense of fighting, Mr. Tong gently sprinkled some fine powder between its wings, and then walked towards the arena.

Seeing that the defeated general was just now, he caressed and touched the beautiful feathers of the flower crown several times. Tian Jicai laughed and said, "Brother Ten, if you have something to ask my elder brother, I will make good words for you. I really don't have to give me money like this!"

Tian Xi, who was confident in his heart, also fought with him, and snorted coldly, then sat upright on the bench, and Jinghou started the show.

The handsome man with an iron beak and steel armor, and his body is filled with bright feathers and Gu Pan's figure, is really powerful and extremely majestic. Compared to the "golden sword" with yellow all over his body, the difference is really impossible to tell.

With a golden gong, the two sides started fighting. The handsome winged feathers of the flower crown swelled rapidly and rushed towards the golden knife. However, the golden knife was like a mouse who saw a cat, clamped its wings tightly and ran around the field. At that time, everyone was watching the cockfighting field, and there was a "gurgling" sound between Mr. Tong's throat, who was hidden behind Tian Xi.

Since the fight started, about half a stick of incense, the golden sword was running around in scattered. Its tightly clamped wings never opened even once. Unfortunately, the flower crown was extremely agile. Although it escaped very quickly, it had been hit several times. The feathers scattered under the steel beak and blood was rushing.

"Brother Jiu, it's not a solution to keep running away." Tian Zhen, who was watching, couldn't calm down and said to his brother in a hurry. At this time, Tian Ji also yawned and said, "This cock fighting is very boring. Brother Jiu, can you just wait until it's blood flows dry before you admit defeat."

Tian Xi was so trusting Mr. Tong that he heard this and was about to fight back, but suddenly heard a majestic rooster crow in the field, and the situation suddenly changed. It turned out that in another arrogant pursuit of the handsome flower crown, the golden sword did not dodge and run away like before, but in the moment it approached, it suddenly jumped up in response to the "cuckoo" sound. As its wings spread, a faint blue powder rose out loud, and suddenly, a spicy breath rose inside and outside the field.

As soon as this move was made, the Huacang handsome shouted for a long time, and the steps under his feet suddenly became scattered. However, the Golden Knife Huang took this opportunity to jump, and it was still a "phoenix nodding" and landed on his back. Even though the Huacang reacted very quickly, he was pecked hard and blood burst out. The fight immediately turned into a one-sided pursuit battle, but the two sides of the pursuit turned completely back. The Huacang whose eyes were scrapped had the power to counterattack. Under Huang Yu's steel beak and iron armor, the feathers scattered and ran away. For a moment, there were already wailing sounds in the entire field, and blood splattered everywhere.

"Okay, okay, I didn't expect that there would be an expert who could 'released mustard' by Brother Jiu. I was convinced. In one month, let's see you here again." Seeing that his flower crown had no strength to fight back, Tian Ji, who had a black face, suddenly stood up, pulled the entourage's waist knife, and a cold light flashed, and he heard two sharp cries in the audience. The cockfighting, which was still fierce, was already in the same place with his head and head, and only a blood flower like an arrow splashed. After Tian Ji took out three thousand taels of "Flying White" in his arms, he gave up this agreement, turned around and left, but he was actually a bachelor's true nature.

"Have fun, his grandmother is so happy!" Tian Zhen laughed at the sky and said to Mr. Tong: "I can't tell that even a master of "Shangjiao" who has long been lost. If you come again, he will die!"

After patting the "Flying White" in his hand, Tian Zhen did not wait for the two to answer the conversation, Xu said excitedly: "Today not only won the situation back, but also won 500 taels of silver. Brother Jiu, I am the host. Please have fun with Mr. Jia at Huashenju."

Seeing that Tian Ji's majesty was greatly disappointed, Tian Xi was also very happy. He was about to agree, but Mr. Tong stepped forward behind him and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but there are important guests in the Jiu Master's mansion. I won't bother you today!"

"Who is there any distinguished guest at home?" After watching his younger brother leave, Tian Xi turned around and asked Mr. Tong in confusion.

"The master of the family has arrived in the mansion, and he wants to meet his master."

"Oh! Mr. Tong and his master?" Tian Xi asked in surprise after hearing this.

"Yes, my master is a great master. My idea is not as good as his elders." As he said, Mr. Tong, who was dissatisfied with Tian Xi's eyes, was full of respect.

After a whim, Tian Xi followed and asked, "Oh! What is the best technique for the master?"

"All the masters are skilled in the plays, calligraphy and painting, and the masters are all skilled in the masters." At this point, Mr. Tong took another step forward and gently said to his ears: "However, the master's best skills are to gather the king's spirit."

Hearing this, Tian Xi's smile on his face tightened. After staring at Mr. Tong with a faint green light for a long time, he suddenly smiled and whispered: "I know this, I don't expect that I can still gather together. It's interesting, it's really interesting!" He murmured for a moment, and heard him shouting: "Come on! Get back home!"

Chang'an, Daming Palace, Qifeng Pavilion

Li Shi, who was excited, took the memorial presented by Lu Qi for a long time, then smiled and said, "Yeah! I have thought about everything in detail, and I am very satisfied, but this seems to be too luxurious!"

Since the emperor was scolded by the emperor for his nephew's last time, Lu Qi is now even more cautious in front of the saint. Hearing Li Shi's words, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty has been diligent every day since he ascended the throne. He has only spent five years to make the world govern. The people praised it. Now the Taifu is only more than five times the first day of the throne, and the essence of the armor and soldiers is even more than ten times better. At this time of celebration, how can you celebrate well? Speaking of which, the money can be spent, just to take this opportunity to give the people a chance to celebrate together! Since the Anshi rebellion in Tianbao, Chang'an has not been lively for a long time. I hope Your Majesty will not let down the longing of the millions of people in Chang'an."

"Your dear is so wise. Even so, I don't say much. Please send this charter to the Political Affairs Hall for a proposal!" Li Shi, who was quite cheerful in his heart, said with a smile.
