Chapter 40: Recuperation

The Red Whisk Girl is also not polite, using the housekeeping skills, the sword light is sheng, the bearded guest is good at using the big knife, the sword is not his forte, and the Red Whisk Girl has taken the lead, so he can only give up the attack, and try his best to protect the body for a while, and the two have fought for more than ten rounds. Seeing that the rapid attack was unsuccessful, the red-whisked woman used a new move created in recent years, stabbing the throat, chest, and abdomen in three key places. The bearded guest's face changed greatly, it was too late to dodge, he roared, and unconsciously used his housekeeping skills to anger the sea and storm the waves, and swept away the red whisk girl with a sword. The red-haired girl looked at him with burning eyes and called, "Big brother! Is that you? ”

Only then did the bearded guest come to his senses, took off the mask on his face and said to the red-haired girl with a wry smile: "Third sister, it is a certain Zhang Zhongjian." ”

The red-whisked girl said happily: "I haven't seen it for many years, the eldest brother's martial arts are more sophisticated, and this time the younger sister is willing to bow down." The world's No. 1 Angelica big brother! He also instructed the bearded guest to get together with the couple for a while, and then he stepped down.

The bearded man smiled suspiciously, and thought in his heart: Only the emperor can be called the first in the world, and this time Bai Xiaosheng dared to use the name of the first in the world when he came up with Huashan Sword, and it seems that King Qin is also involved, and things are very strange. Anyway, I, Zhang, am not a person who is afraid of things, so I will take it first. At least Li Jing and Hongfu will definitely not harm me.

Thinking of this, he strode towards the main seat on the stage. Wenyi was waiting there with a smile holding the dragon slaying knife, and the bearded guest walked up to him, and Wenyi said: "I announce: the first place in Huashan's sword: 'Bearded guest' Zhang Zhongjian!" Please take this knife! This knife is called the Dragon Slaying Knife, the exclusive weapon of the Supreme of Martial Arts, weighing nineteen catties and nine taels and nine coins, the ultimate in the number of totals, blowing and breaking hair, not strong and not urging. Please Zhang Daxia make good use of this knife to lead the heroes of the rivers and lakes to punish rape and eliminate evil, and serve the country! ”

The bearded guest took the dragon slaying knife with the same face and observed it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, as if this knife was tailor-made for himself, both in length and weight. immediately said: "Zhang will do his best if he takes this knife!" The affairs of the rivers and lakes are handed over to someone. ”

There was another burst of cheers from the audience, and they also had a hunch that from today onwards, they had their own leader and were recognized by the government, and they were no longer as annoying as before.

The conference ended successfully, and everyone dispersed. The bearded guest was dragged back to Li Jing's tent by the red-whisked girl, and the three of them each recounted their experiences in the past few years. After half a sound, the bearded guest asked: "Second brother, don't hide it, I was just itching to find someone to fight, I heard that there was such a conference here, who knew that he became the supreme martial arts in a daze, I saw that many people from King Qin came, was it a plan that Li Shimin came up with?" Tell me about it. ”

Li Jing said with a smile: "This is His Royal Highness King Qin's desire to integrate these rangers, preparing them to maintain local law and order and arrest exiles, and also to make them stop being idle." Originally, it was planned to let the people in King Qin's Mansion be the supreme martial arts, but who knew that the eldest brother was introduced, which was just right for the eldest brother to show his strength. ”

The bearded guest frowned and said, "Then isn't this martial arts supreme to be controlled by others?" ”

Hongfu smiled and said, "Big brother, don't think too much, little sister, go and invite His Royal Highness King Qin to let him talk to you in detail." With that, he ran out of the tent without waiting for the bearded guest to stop him.

After a while, Li Shimin came with literature and art. Seeing that Hongfu had brought Bai Xiaosheng and the little guy, the bearded guest couldn't help but ask curiously, "Third sister, didn't you go to invite King Qin?" Why did you bring Bai Xiaosheng? ”

Li Shimin laughed out loud, took off the mask on his face, and said to the bearded guest: "Bai Xiaosheng has seen the Martial Arts Supreme. ”

The bearded guest was surprised for a moment and said: "It turns out that Bai Xiaosheng is His Highness, but I don't know what His Highness means by letting Zhang be the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance?" ”

Li Shimin didn't see anything outside, he casually found a chair and sat down and said: "Zhong Jian, now that the Tang Dynasty has just been established, all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, these rangers have high skills, and they have nothing to do, and it is useless to have more chaos and stability in the place." I came up with this trick to guide them on the right path with fame and fortune, which would eliminate the Rangers' troubles and strengthen local stability, the best of both worlds. ”

The bearded man nodded and said, "I wonder what rights I have and what controls I am subject to?" ”

Li Shimin said: "You can manage the rangers of the whole country as much as you want, and the main task is to guide them to assist the government in some tasks of maintaining local stability or arresting wanted criminals. As long as there is no rebellion and no opposition to the rule of the Tang Dynasty, there will be no one to restrain them. If you have a conflict with the government, you can come to me, you can't resist the government, and corrupt officials can be arrested if your evidence is conclusive, but you can't kill them at will. ”

The bearded man said suspiciously: "You believe so-and-so so? Can this right be allowed in the Holy Heavens today? ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "As long as you respect the imperial power and abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty, now the Tang Dynasty and the rivers and lakes are all newly established, and there are still many things that need to be improved, and many local governments can't take care of it at all, and Zhong Jian needs to worry more about it when the time comes." ”

The bearded guest is also a bold person, and after listening to Li Shimin's explanation, he no longer took care of it at the moment, patted his chest and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, you will do your best!" ”

Li Shimin laughed, grabbed the bearded guest's arm and said, "Let's go, drink!" I have a good wine called 'stuffy donkey', and I can't help but taste it. Pharmacist, you also come along, Xiaoyi hurry up and prepare a hot pot, and then call them to bite the gold, if you don't get drunk tonight, you won't return! ”

The bearded guest said strangely: "The name 'stuffy donkey' is so strange. ”

Li Shimin said angrily: "This is Xiaoyi's newly brewed good wine, when choosing the name, everyone thought of a lot of good names, and they all thought that their names were the best, and they were not convinced, so everyone decided to let the person with the best amount of wine decide, and the winner was Cheng Biting Jin's house, so he shouted the name 'Stuffy Donkey'." Everyone is willing to gamble and lose, but this wine has such a turtle name. ”

The bearded man laughed, and said that he must taste how good this wine is that suffocates donkeys. When the hot pot is ready, it will be another carnival, and the demons will dance until late at night. Since Shu'er tasted a sip of the stuffy donkey, Wenyi was not allowed to drink such a strong wine again, and Wenyi is now stared at by Shu'er to death, so she had no choice but to leave the table early and sneak away to tell Shu'er a bedtime story...

Li Shimin stayed in Huashan for a few more days and discussed with the bearded guests about establishing order in the rivers and lakes before leaving for Chang'an. Literature and art also returned to Crooked Willow Village, this time it was a big war and an organizational competition, literature and art had long been tired and wanted to die, now everything is finally over, the affairs of the rivers and lakes have bearded guests, and the affairs of the Tang Dynasty have Li Shimin, he finally calmed down. I lay in bed and slept for three days before I got ready to work contentedly.

First of all, I compared the theoretical learning of 50 employees of "Hope", and the effect was very good. Except for a few people who really didn't have the talent to learn, everyone else met the basic requirements. Literature and Art continued to let the stone give them lectures, and he took the six "bad students" and began to improve the Xiaomi Mi 1. It should be said that it was the production of Xiaomi No. 3, and after a year of hard work, Wenyi finally made a suitable circuit board and diode, and transistor. Wenyi is going to develop a set of smart mecha based on Xiaomi this time, and it will be much more convenient to directly control the mecha with Xiaomi than the current semi-manual mode. And this time the literature and art wants to shrink the mecha to the size of a suitcase, and he liked this idea very much when he watched "Iron Man 2". At the critical moment, he threw the suitcase to the ground in front of the enemy, and there was a sound of wah, and the transformation was successful.

Time flies quickly when you get serious, and the time of the year is fleeting. In the four years of Wude, except for going to Chang'an on Shu'er's birthday to celebrate her birthday, there was no "hope" for the rest. The small medical hall in Crooked Willow Village also slowly disappeared, and Fang Sanye's explanation on the other side was: Xiaoyi, this baby, went to the mountains to cultivate. It really fooled those who came to treat the disease.

This year, all the people in the Tiance Mansion acted in a low-key manner, never in the court, and Li Shimin only asked for the task of letting the generals of the Tiance Mansion be responsible for clearing the remnants of Dou Jiande, so he honestly started to be a Bodhisattva, just look at it and don't say it, someone asked him, he said that this king is inexperienced and doesn't understand this matter, you better ask others.

Li Jiancheng and his family are much more high-profile, not only unscrupulously wooing ministers, but also constantly pointing fingers at the court, with an arrogant attitude, and now many neutrals and Li Yuan's ministers are disgusted with them. Li Yuanji actively organized a counterinsurgency, and after the autumn harvest, he led his troops to completely recover the surrounding areas of Luoyang, preparing to continue to march south after the next year.

The northern Jieli also integrated the Turkic tribes and prepared to invade the Tang Dynasty. Princess Pingyang stationed at Niangzi Pass to organize the defense, and wrote to the court to ask for additional troops, Li Yuan also knew that the Turks were strong, and sent 20,000 elite soldiers to help Princess Pingyang defend the Turks.

Liu Heimin integrated the remnants of Dou Jiande, erected a banner of revenge for Dou Jiande, and recruited troops and horses, but was beaten by Li Jing and fled north, Li Jing was originally ready to recover Hebei in one fell swoop, but received an urgent document from Li Shimin to stop the attack and organize defense. If Liu Heimin is destroyed now, then Jieli may divide his troops into two ways, all the way to attack Niangzi Pass, and all the way to Hebei in the name of rescuing Liu Heimin. Li Jing retreated to the south bank of the Yellow River and was stationed in Zhengzhou and Kaifeng.

The year of literature and art can be described as leapfrogging development, "Hope" moved to the depths of the Qinling Mountains, and the area of the work building was expanded to 2,000 square meters, which was built with reinforced concrete and was three stories high. The first floor is a general-purpose workshop for mass production and assembly of various weapons and equipment. The second floor is a laboratory for the study of new equipment, and the third floor is an exclusive laboratory for literature and art. It is here that the Mi 3 is done.

The outer courtyard is centered on the building, with a diameter of 1,000 meters, and is all asphalted. They explored this land for a month before they found it, the largest piece of flat land in the mountain col, about 500 acres in size, in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, ordinary people can't find this side at all. The old "Hope" is now a material transfer station, and the materials transported by Li Shimin will be put there first, and then pulled by the literary and artistic faction to the new "Hope" by airship.
