Chapter 42 Grace and Might
Li Shimin was happy in Chongwen Pavilion, but he still walked out of the palace early that day.
It was only because he received the news yesterday that the black market had begun to reopen. At this time, although he had not yet learned the array diagrams in the Tai Miao Divine Forbidden Diagram, he had basically understood the role of the array diagram runes.
This can greatly increase his eyesight on the ink armor. In ancient times, those parts with magic patterns did not need to be drawn by hand.
Therefore, if it is limited to assembling ink armor, there is no need for him to completely master the Forbidden Diagram of the Wonderful Gods.
Therefore, Li Shimin has long been eager to try and want to show his skills in the black market. At this time, in his hand, in addition to the remaining more than 40,000 pieces of silver after the auction, there are also 8,000 pieces of silver that he received from Weiwei Temple, and if he sells the 'Demon War' armor in his hand, he can also get about 25,000 pieces. So the total is 77,000.
Li Shimin didn't plan to return the money to Yu Wenshi now. The so-called money makes money, these 77,000 guan, at least in the black market, can buy fifteen sets of general-grade ink armor parts.
And once you complete the assembly of all of them, you can immediately earn more than 400,000 yuan. But it's a lot of work, and it takes at least a month or two to complete. Li Shimin didn't plan to do this, his idea was to make up six sets of generals, and in addition to paying off the debts of Yu Wenshi, he would exchange some capital for himself. The rest of the money is all invested in the hundred gold.
In addition to this, there are some rare materials that need to be purchased. He had already studied the power furnace he had bought before. Zhang Yurou didn't lie to him, it was easy to repair this power furnace, but the materials required were very harsh. The price of the material is not expensive, but it is rare. I don't know if this trip to the black market can be completed.
However, Li Shimin ran out of the palace with great interest, and in a lane, he saw more than 20 people on the left and right in front of him, surrounded from all directions.
Li Shimin's expression suddenly turned grim, and he held the horse lance in his hand. At this time, he took the Hundred Armor and the Demon War Armor with him, and was carried behind by the horses, but he didn't plan to use them.
This is not far from the Imperial Palace, and using ink armor here is a greater crime than in the Imperial Camp. He's already been in prison once for this, and he doesn't want to go to prison a second time for the time being.
In addition, he didn't find that the other party was carrying armor, but there was an acquaintance in the crowd, and it was Fan Shixing, the rear team leader of the left back.
Just as Li Shimin was waiting for him, Fan Shixing had a heavy expression and walked in front of him and knelt down.
"This incident is my Fan's fault! If Yu Hou wants to blame, please blame Fan!"
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He was a little impressed by this Fan Shixing. Although this person is reckless and arrogant, he will at least take responsibility.
He glanced at the two dozen people around him again, and saw that these people either had resentment in their eyes or were full of pity.
In addition to Fan Shixing, there is another person among them, which makes Li Shimin care a little. It was a man in his mid-thirties. also has a six-grade cultivation, and he is violent, glaring at him with cold eyes.
If he guessed correctly, most of these people were also the people of the left guard of Chongwen Pavilion. As for the middle-aged strong man, most of them were Wang Jiayuan, the former team leader who was kicked away by him today.
Li Shimin shook his head and looked down at Fan Shixing: "I only blame you, do you mean to take back your destiny?"
"Exactly!"
Fan Shixing's face twitched, and he bowed slightly to Li Shimin: "I know Lord Yu Hou, because he hated me for being rude yesterday, and today he provoked everyone to make trouble." But Lord Yu, this matter is all caused by one person, and everyone else is implicated by me. Yu Hou will be punished, only one person can be subordinate. As long as Yu Hou takes back his life, I, Fan Shixing, admit the punishment and accept the punishment, and it is all up to Lord Yu Hou to deal with it!"
Li Shimin sighed lightly, and his voice was cold: "I hate you? Fan Team Rate inevitably thinks highly of himself! It just so happens that all of you are here, so what he said to Team Zhang before, this official can also say it to you again." ”
Fan Shixing couldn't help but be slightly stunned, looking up at Li Shimin, while the rest of the people were either puzzled or uneasy,
"As long as I, Li Shimin, still wait for Zuo Weiyu for a day, I can't tolerate my subordinates who don't obey military discipline and are careless and presumptuous. If you people want to keep the errands in the palace and the livelihood outside the palace, then transfer away as soon as possible, and this seat can be out of sight. It is limited to ten days, and you can find a way to transfer the left guard by yourself. Otherwise, this official naturally has a way to concoct you and so on. ”
His voice seemed to be like the sound of gold and stone, sonorous and measured. But they made the faces of all those present pale.
That Wang Jiayuan was furious, and he was furious: "Brother Fan, what are you talking to him? This is a bastard who is not clean, what is the use of asking him? I will directly beat him up today!"
Li Shimin didn't speak anymore, only holding the horse lance in his hand, waiting with a smile.
To be honest, he still doesn't care about the two dozen or so people in front of him. Although these are forbidden troops, their strength is also very good, but compared with the border troops he encountered in Linfen County before, they are just some showmanship, and they are useless.
What's more, now that his strength has made great progress, he is already a fifth-grade cultivator, and he is not comparable to that day.
Fan Shixing's complexion changed from blue to white. The last one, suddenly gritted his teeth and stepped aside. However, he still knelt on the ground and bent down: "Please wait for Lord Yu to open the net! It doesn't hurt for my lord to fire my Fan, but many brothers' family plans are counting on the palace, and there is no room for loss." Please wait for your lords to think twice and give them a way to live. ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but think about it, he knew that what Fan Shixing said was true.
Although these guards in the palace are all selected from good families, the vast majority of them are born as concubines, and they can't share much of the family property.
And the difference between the salary outside the palace and the inside of the palace is at least one-third.
Just as Li Shimin was pondering, Wang Jiayuan, who was led by the front team, suddenly snorted softly, held a wooden stick, and smashed it into Li Shimin's waist, and several people in the crowd also responded, and they came from all directions.
Seeing this, Li Shimin immediately smiled coldly, and suddenly rode his horse forward, and at the same time danced with a long lance. With a 'bang' sound, sawdust flew in mid-air.
He didn't bother to use any ingenious means at this time, so he directly pressed people with force, and swung the long lance in his hand as a long stick, just paying attention to not letting the blade in front of the horse lance hurt people. But even so, it was still like chopping melons and vegetables, beating all these people to the ground.
Only when he faced that Wang Jiayuan, Li Shimin used some ingenuity, and the long lance only picked up a belt, so that this person flew into the air like a cloud and fell seven zhang away.
This person fell so hard that he couldn't get up from the ground for a while, so he could barely raise his head and look at Li Shimin with a frightened gaze.
Fan Shixing had already told him that this new Yu Hou had good military strength, and most of them had cultivated to the true yuan and been promoted to the fifth grade. But he didn't believe it, thinking that a little little boy who was a little over fourteen years old and didn't have all the hair could reach the six-grade realm, which was already very remarkable. The reason why Fan Shixing failed in one move yesterday was mostly because of this son's surprise, and Fan Shixing was contemptuous and negligent.
But when he made his move today, he knew. This person's force is indeed beyond their reach.
Fan Shixing was dripping with cold sweat, and when he looked at Li Shimin, he was obviously afraid. In addition to sweeping Wang Jiayuan and the others, this boss was still distracted by him, as long as he had the slightest movement, he would definitely be like his colleagues at this time.
Yesterday he couldn't be sure, but now he knows that this person has indeed cultivated the true element. And even if it is at the extreme, I am afraid that it is not weak.
Such a character is already an enemy of a hundred, and he is already qualified to lead an army of thousands,
"I didn't see that you guy, but you still have a bit of responsibility. ”
Li Shimin chuckled lightly and put away the horse lance: "That's it, the official is still the same, the official can't tolerate people who eat vegetarian meals under the command of the official." If you have peace of mind to work in the palace and abide by military regulations, you can come to find your official tomorrow. However, I have a word here, except for the first commander of the army, even if he wants to stay, he needs to be demoted. And these people who did it today are not used. ”
This time, he kicked out of the left guard of Chongwen Pavilion, and there were only twenty-seven people in total. After he ruled it out, there were only more than ten people left.
But Fan Shixing was still grateful, and kowtowed heavily to Li Shimin.
That Wang Jiayuan frowned and said nothing, he didn't care too much about his military position. Leaving the left guard of Chongwen Pavilion, there are other places to stay. I'm just here today to vent my breath of evil. But looking at the situation in front of him, he knew that he obviously couldn't do it.
At this time, Li Shimin had already ridden away and went straight to the old middle bridge. This time, he was familiar with the way to the black market, and soon found a ferry boat marked with a tiger barn under the bridge.
And this time, he didn't walk out of the black market until late at night with a dozen half-human-sized packages. He even had to hire a carriage for this purpose to bring these parts back to the Tang Mansion.
I have to say that the parts required for the entire seven sets of ink armor are still very heavy. Even if he had the strength of his arm now, he wouldn't be able to carry these things home.
On the return trip, Li Shimin's face was full of satisfied smiles. This time, he did return with a full load, and even in the black market, he had a lot of unexpected income.
I don't know if it's because the black market has been suspended for a few days and has accumulated a lot of goods, or because several major merchants in the black market are interested in compensating, this time, he really found a lot of good things.
In particular, the right arm force pump he was looking for for for Bai Ke had a power intensity close to that of the king level. But because of the lack of a few runes and a few parts, it was only sold for three hundred.
It's just that today, it may be destined to be eventful. When Li Shimin took the carriage and entered the alley of Shangshanfang, he saw a tall and slender figure on the road ahead, stopping in front of him.
