Chapter 42: The Bad Gambler
Pei Min looked at the alien man with a strange expression, looked around, and didn't think he was a bad person. But the sneaky, thief-minded appearance is not pretending, and I was a little embarrassed for a while, thinking about how to deal with the current problem.
At this moment, Kang Shulie, the king of Kangguo, and Wu Pu came from a distance with a little burnt.
Pei Min appeared in front of the courtyard where they lived early this morning with gifts, although no one was sent to inform them.
The Kangguo envoys who came and went had already discovered their existence.
Pei Min's status is that of the general of the town of the Celestial Empire, and his status is not inferior to that of the monarch of the subject country. He came to visit in person, and Kang Shulie needed to greet him in person according to etiquette.
Kang Shulie didn't know what Pei Min meant, so he informed Wupu with a bit of a dazed expression, and came out to greet him.
When they came to the outside of the courtyard, they didn't see Pei Min, they heard the sound of fighting in the alley, and they were worried about Pei Min's safety, so they rushed together.
When he came closer, Kang Shulie saw the man of the other race, his face couldn't help but change suddenly, and he couldn't help but shout: "Ge Shuhan, how dare you do it with Guogong?" ”
Wupu also looked ugly, and said angrily: "Why don't you apologize to the Guogong soon?" ”
Goshuhan!
When Pei Min heard these three words, his whole person was not good.
The name of the famous general Ge Shuhan, as a later generation, there is no reason not to know.
Even in the 21st century, there is still a folk song in the Northwest "The Big Dipper is high, and Geshu carries a knife at night." So far, I have peeped at the herding horses and dare not pass Lintao. ”
It's Goshuhan who raps!
He remembered that Ge Shuhan was a native of the Tuqi Shi Geshu tribe, and his grandfather's name was Ge Shufu, who led his troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and since then the Geshu clan has taken root in the Tang Dynasty.
Historically, Ge Shuhan was very good at using soldiers, and he managed the army well, and the three armies were shocked.
In his later years, Li Longji listened to Li Linfu's slander, believing that foreign generals were better at fighting than the Han people, and reused foreign generals, and promoted two major foreign generals, Geshuhan and An Lushan, respectively, one of them was located in the west and the other in the northeast, but the other was loyal and became the mobile Great Wall of the West. Everywhere they went, Tubo and Tuqi Shi all retreated. The other has become a cancer of Datang......
Pei Min couldn't have imagined that this sneaky and sneaky person turned out to be Ge Shuhan!
A famous generation of famous generals, this virtue?
Looking back with colored eyes, Pei Min also felt that the sneaky man in front of him had a bit of a heroic spirit.
"Ge Shuhan, I have made amends to Guogong!" Ge Shuhan looked ashamed and respectfully apologized to Pei Min.
Pei Min didn't understand Ge Shuhan's current behavior, but he was full of good feelings for the three words "Ge Shuhan", and said with a smile: "It's okay, there is a good saying, if you don't fight, you won't know each other." If we have a chance, let's have a good fight, I'm not afraid of your jokes, this fist and foot kung fu, I'm really average. ”
Ge Shuhan didn't know what to say.
Wupu's face changed suddenly, and he shouted, "Geshu, where is your knife!" ”
Ge Shuhan was speechless.
The eyes of the people around him who looked at Ge Shuhan were full of disdain and disdain.
Kang Shulie also looked at Ge Shuhan with dissatisfaction, regretting that he had brought him with him this time.
"You, bastard!" Wupu also understood the reason, his eyes were red, and he kicked over, kicked Geshuhan to the ground, and said sharply: "That is the ancestral treasure knife of your Geshu family, which was given to my grandfather by Emperor Taizong." Did you take it to gamble? ”
Ge Shuhan rolled on the ground a few times, stood up with a slight tremble, his eyes were red, and he tilted his head.
Pei Min also remembered that day the horse thief Belif had said that Ge Shuhan was a well-known gambler in the Western Regions......
In my heart, it was also suddenly clear that in the martial Tang Dynasty, men who did not wear swords, except for the old and the young, were peasants, and almost all other scholars, whether they were scholars or merchants, were equipped with swords, let alone martial arts giants.
Ge Shuhan is burly and rugged, quite heroic. Such a character is not worthy of a blade, it is really unreasonable.
It turned out that it wasn't that he didn't deserve the blade, but that he exported his sword in the casino.
There is no reason in his heart, and there is also a disdain, Pei Min hates gamblers, and there is a clear rule in the Longyou Army that gambling is prohibited. Especially the generals under his command, he strictly ordered them not to take care of the casino. Among his relatives and friends, it is okay to gamble a little, but once the gamble is big, he will not tolerate it.
No matter who it is, he will not tolerate it. If you can't stand it, fuck off.
This is also related to Pei Min's experience as a child, who lived in the village when he was a child. At that time, the social atmosphere was still very simple, and the neighbors in the township were like a family.
With a bowl, go to this house, break into that house, and eat hundreds of meals, not to mention how comfortable it is.
Pei Min still remembers that his neighbor's surname was Shao, and there was a child of the same age as him, Shao Hui, who grew up almost wearing a pair of pants.
Later, with the progress of society, the living conditions became better and better. Not to mention that he has entered a well-off society, but he also has a surplus of wealth. From eating home-grown vegetables and radishes every day, he has progressed to a rich day with meat and occasional chicken and duck.
Maybe it's because there is a lot of money, Shao Hui's father is addicted to gambling, from small gambling to big gambling. From having money to gambling, to having no money to gamble, so that borrowing money to gamble and using house furniture will make a good home a miasma.
Pei Min can't forget the appearance of the aunt next door coming to his house to cry, the quarrel next door, and the situation when Zhao Hui's father hid in his toilet in order to avoid debts......
In the end, the family was ruined, the house was mortgaged, the husband and wife divorced, Zhao Hui's father fled to other places to hide debts, and there was no more news.
Zhao Hui's grades plummeted and he became a gangster......
So from childhood to adulthood, Pei Min was very reluctant to gamble, even when he went to college. Except for the landlord, the others will not, and it is a little out of place in this regard.
Hearing that Ge Shuhan exported all his ancestral weapons, even if he was a famous general in history and made great achievements for the Tang Dynasty, Pei Min couldn't help but feel a little disdainful.
Seeing that Upu was about to make a move, although Pei Min didn't know their relationship, he also came forward and said: "General Upu has mercy, something has happened." It's useless to say more, this is public, and the impact is not good. It is imperative that the sword be redeemed. lest it fall into the hands of others, and it will be difficult to recover it. ”
Kang Shulie saw Pei Min speak up, and also said: "What Pei Guogong said is reasonable, family ugliness should not be publicized, and this matter should not be made big." ”
Wupu was angry, but Pei Min and Kang Shulie came forward together, and they could only sigh: "The Geshu family has produced such a remarkable character, who can not know in the Western Regions?" It's just a shame that this face was thrown to Chang'an, which made Guogong laugh. ”
"Uncle Shulie, father!" Urgier suddenly burst out of the crowd, her hands unruly behind her back, as if hiding something.
Upu raised his eyebrows and said, "Go back, go and get money from Harry, don't use the ornaments that the king and your mother bought you to pay off your cousin's gambling debts!" ”
