Chapter 68: The Wang Brothers
Although Qin Shubao is Li Shimin's favorite general, Li Shimin has not told him about the situation of the special combat team. Before Qin Shubao entered the camp, Wenyi asked the special combat team to change into the armor of ordinary guards and hide their weapons, so he also withdrew half of the manpower from the outer outpost led by Wang Tianhu to strengthen the guards.
When Qin Shubao entered the camp, all he could see was an ordinary Xuanjia army, but the sensitivity of a natural soldier still made him sense that this army was a little inexplicably powerful, and it would make him shudder. The group continued to move forward after resting for a day, Shandong is a newly recovered area, so there are many bandits on the road.
Smart people must honestly retreat when they see Li Shimin's convoy, but there are always a few stupid people who don't know what to do. For example, the two in front of you. One person is tall, visually measuring 1.9 meters, but extremely thin, visually less than 100 catties, carrying a cooked copper iron rod, walking three times; A person is extremely short, less than one and a half meters by sight, but extremely fat, at least one hundred and fifty pounds by sight, so that a fork of heaven walks, walking like a ball rolling. The two of them are tattered from head to toe, more like Hanako than Haoqiang who cuts the path.
The two of them blocked the way, and said in a tall voice: "The Heavenly King covers the Tiger of the Earth!" The fat man continued: "Pagoda Town River Demon! Then they shouted in unison: "Wait for the hurry and leave to buy road money!" ”
Literature and Art looked around and thought: No, although Li Shimin and I left the convoy and walked at the forefront, Wang Tianhu should have searched the surrounding area a long time ago, how did these two second-hand goods come out?
Li Shimin was also happy when he watched the antics of these two, and said: "Two strong men, you see that there are two horses around us and there is no money to honor you two, so it's better to let us go over!" ”
The tall man really believed it after taking a look, and said to the fat man: "Big brother, you see that they don't seem to have any money, they are both poor ghosts, so it is better to let them go." ”
The fat man glared at the tall man and said, "You know a fart, who can ride a horse is not a rich man?" They must have been hidden by them, specifically to deceive you ignorant turtles! If you don't believe it, go search it! ”
The tall man said "oh" and handed the weapon to the fat man, and came up to search himself. Li Shimin was also very cooperative, got off the horse with Wenyi, stood aside, and honestly raised his hands to let Gao Yi search his body. The thin man is very professional, he didn't look at Li Shimin's dangling jade pendant, and wanted to find some money from the two of them, but he only found dozens of copper plates from the literary and artistic body, and he proudly got his hand and showed off to the fat man, "Big brother, look, there are dozens of copper plates!" Let's send it! ”
Li Shimin glanced at literature and art with disdain, as if to say: Poor ghost!
But the two on the opposite side were not calm, the two were already so excited that they got carried away, threw their weapons to the ground, squatted on the side and started to count a copper plate and a copper plate, the specific situation is as follows:
One, two, three... Twenty-eight, twenty-nine!
The tall man suddenly stopped and asked the fat man: "Big brother, how much is behind twenty-nine?" ”
The fat man slapped him on the back of the head and scolded: "Melon coward, you are more knowledgeable than me, you don't know and still ask me?" Since you can't count it, there must be a lot, so put it away! ”
The two of them were originally one and a half, but the fat man hesitated for a long time and handed most of his copper plate to the tall one and said, "You have a good brain, you also have these, I can't count them." The tall man didn't notice the fat man's love, but Li Shimin and Wenyi couldn't notice it. The two couldn't help but look at the fat man differently, but they didn't expect that although this person was not smart, he didn't care for his brother a lot.
Li Shimin walked over with pity and said, "Two heroes, since you have taken the money, can you let us go?" ”
Gao said happily: "Well, wait a minute, you give too much, we can't use it up, you keep these, how can you not bring some copper plates when you go out?" After speaking, he grabbed a handful from his pile and handed it to Li Shimin. Li Shimin was stunned on the spot, how should he evaluate the actions of these two? Foolish? Naive? Stupid? Is there still a lot of money in robbing the road?
Li Shimin was not calm, and immediately roared: "Wang Tianhu!" Come out! ”
As soon as the words fell, three figures jumped down from a dense tree, who is it not Wang Tianhu? quickly came to Li Shimin and knelt down on one knee.
Li Shimin threw the copper plate in front of Wang Tianhu and said: "Count how many copper plates there are, and after taking these two people back to Chang'an for good settlement, each copper plate will be exchanged for a box of silver and returned to them, understand?" ”
Wang Tianhu did not hesitate to pick up the copper plate and get up. The tall and fat people were frightened, and with the speed of their brains, they only knew that they seemed to have met a nobleman, a copper plate for a box of silver? This man is a fool, isn't he?
Gao Yi immediately said anxiously to Li Shimin: "Noble, you can't do this, my mother said, you can't take advantage of others, the more you take it back, the more God will take it back." Those copper plates you gave us are enough for our brother to live for a while. Can't take advantage of you anymore! My mother scolded us to death! ”
Li Shimin was surprised: "Where is Ling Ci now, can you take it to pay a visit." ”
The tall man was entangled for a long time and said: "I see that you are also a good person, we can take you to see my mother, but you can't tell my mother that we are engaged in robbery." ”
Li Shimin nodded in agreement, and then asked, "I don't know the names of the two honorable people?" Why did you fall into robbery for a living? ”
The tall man pointed to the fat man and said, "My eldest brother Wang Changguang, my name is Wang Changping." We usually make a living by chopping wood, and during this time, we have always heard that robbery is more profitable than chopping wood, and my brother happened to pick up two weapons, so he was ready to try to do the business of robbery. I didn't expect to meet you for the first time. ”
Li Shimin smiled and said: "All this is providence, okay, take me to see Ling Ci." ”
Wenyi took advantage of this effort to find Wang Tianhu and asked, "Brother Wang, haven't you already explored the road?" Why did you miss these two? Fortunately, they are not ruthless, otherwise what if they hurt His Highness? ”
Wang Tianhu smiled and said: "I deliberately missed these two people, Your Highness is the lord who can't be idle, and he always has to find something to play." How dare I let His Highness meet those real villains? I dare to stay and play with His Royal Highness because of the virtue of these two goods, who knew that they would be able to pick up a big bargain! Eight boxes of silver! They won't be able to eat it for eight lifetimes! ”
Literature and art don't get the answer and don't bother with the matter of silver, money, I regard it as dung!
Li Shimin asked people to inform the convoy that they did not have to follow, and continued to march according to the route, and he took Wenyi and Wang Tianhu to follow the brothers to a poor and dilapidated village. One by one, seeing Li Shimin riding a tall horse, he was so frightened that he hid in his own courtyard, and secretly looked at Li Shimin from the inside, although the courtyard was only surrounded by a few small branches, it seemed to give them a full sense of security.
