Chapter 253: A Tiger Who Looks Like King Yama
After Lu Zhi and the others left, Gao Ming took Li Su back to the palace.
In fact, Gao Ming can also go to Puzhou now, but thinking that Huzi kept watch at his door all night last night, he must be tired at this time, and if he drags him on the road again, Gao Ming is a little unbearable, so Gao Ming plans to let him take a break.
After returning to the palace, Gao Ming waved his hand to the tiger behind him.
"Huzi, we are going to Puzhou this afternoon, in order to better protect me on the road, you go to sleep now."
Gao Ming originally thought that he would obediently go to sleep when he said this, but he didn't expect that after hearing his words, Huzi shook his head.
"No, if I go to sleep, there will be no one to protect His Royal Highness the Prince."
Huzi's dead brain suddenly gave Gao Ming a little headache, so he simply hugged Li Su's neck, and then raised his chin towards Huzi.
"Huzi, look, isn't my sixth child here? He'll be able to protect me, so you might as well go to sleep. ”
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Su also nodded.
"That's right, that's right, I'm Li Su and I'm also a tyrant in Chang'an, with me, my eldest brother will definitely be fine!"
Hearing Li Su's words, Huzi suddenly glanced at him, and his eyes instantly showed a look of contempt, this look was so obvious that even Li Su, who had always been dull, felt it.
So he was furious.
"Oh, you stupid and cute guy, I'm weird, what right do you have to look at me like this?"
Hearing Li Su's words, Gao Ming immediately rolled his eyes.
"Where did this guy Li Yu get his confidence, and he actually said that other people's tigers are stupid and cute?"
However, because he was worried about hitting Li Su's self-esteem, Gao Ming didn't say it.
Huzi obviously didn't have this concern, and in the face of Li Su's questioning, as soon as he let go, the two sledgehammers in his hands fell to the ground, smashing the land of the palace into a pit.
Seeing this scene, Li Su was suddenly startled, and hurriedly took two steps back.
"You...... What do you want? I tell you, it's a great sin to commit the following crimes! ”
Looking at Li Su's cowardly expression, Gao Ming suddenly couldn't help but cover his face.
"Damn, I want to pretend I don't know him!"
Unlike Gao Ming, Huzi didn't seem to despise Li Su for his cowardice, but laughed honestly.
"Hehe, don't be afraid, I won't beat you, I just want you to lift my sledgehammer, if you can lift it, I believe you can protect His Royal Highness the Prince."
Hearing Huzi's words, Li Su immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Earlier, I thought you were going to beat me."
As he spoke, Li Su glanced at Huzi, then grabbed Huzi's sledgehammer one by one and roared.
"Drink!"
The two sledgehammers did not move.
Li Su frowned, as if wondering why the sledgehammer didn't move, he took a deep breath, and then roared again.
"Drink!"
The two sledgehammers remained unmoved.
Now Li Su reacted, he knew that he couldn't lift the two sledgehammers, so he let go of one sledgehammer, and then held the back of the other sledgehammer with two hands, and shouted.
"Drink!"
Now the sledgehammer moves.
But it was just a move.
Seeing this scene, Gao Ming suddenly covered his face with one hand and waved his hand towards Li Su with the other.
"Sixth, I think you should be full of food and hold on, or you go out for a walk and consume food by the way, otherwise if you exercise vigorously after a meal like yours, your intestines will burst."
Hearing Gao Ming say this, Li Su's eyes immediately widened, and he quickly released his hand from the handle of the hammer, looking at his anxious appearance, as if his intestines would really explode in a few moments.
Looking at Li Su's frightened look, Gao Ming suddenly had a sense of guilt for bullying fools.
"Uh...... Sixth, I ...... just now."
Before Gao Ming finished speaking, Li Su immediately raised his hand and interrupted him.
"Big brother, you don't need to say it, no wonder when I was lying in bed recently, I heard the sound of 'bang bang' inside when I shook my stomach, originally I wondered what was going on, but now I understand, I must have broken my intestines, big brother, my stomach is full of!"
Gao Ming: "......"
You have in your head, right?
Datang has no surgery, and a lot of common sense is still very mysterious in Datang, so Gao Ming doesn't know how to explain to Li Su, and Gao Ming feels that with Li Su's wisdom, even if he explains Li Su, he can't understand it.
Thinking of this, Gao Ming patted Li Su's shoulder again.
"Sixth, don't think too much, eat when you should eat, sleep when you should sleep, you are so stupid and cute, King Yama will not accept you."
"King Yama?"
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Su's eyes widened again, and then he looked at Huzi next to him blankly.
"Big brother, do you think Huzi doesn't look like the king of Yama?"
Gao Ming: "......"
The legend of King Yama was introduced to China from India, and in the Sui and Tang dynasties, King Yama had an exact image, that is, the Shangzhu State of the Sui Dynasty, Han Capture Tiger!
Fang Xuanling recorded such an anecdote in his compilation of "The Book of Sui: The Biography of Han Zhuhu".
said that when Han Baohu was dying, his neighbor saw that there were many guards carrying honor guards at the gate of Han's mansion, so he asked the other party what he was doing, but the other party replied: "I am here to welcome the king", and after speaking, everyone was gone.
In addition, there is a legend that a man who was seriously ill ran to the Han Mansion and said that he wanted to see the king, and when he was asked what king he wanted to see, the man replied, "King Yama".
Obviously, this statement is very rude, so Han Baohu's nephew wanted to beat this person, but Han Baohu stopped them and said: "It is enough to be born as a Shangzhu country and die to be the king of Yama." A few days later, Han Baohu died.
It is precisely because of these reasons that the image of the king of Yama worshiped by the Tang people today is Han Baohu!
Huzi's background is known, and the statue of King Yama has also been seen, but he didn't think much about it, but now after hearing Li Yu's words, he realized that Huzi should really look very similar to Han Baohu.
Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately frowned.
"Even a guy as sluggish as Li Su can see that Huzi is very similar to Han Baohu, the old man can't see it for no reason, is it because he didn't think about it?"
As soon as this idea came out, it was denied by Gao Ming, because with his understanding of Li Shimin, he felt that Li Shimin could not have neglected this, and the biggest possibility was that he knew, but he just deliberately didn't say it.
Thinking of this, the corners of Gao Ming's mouth suddenly had a smile.
"The old man trusts me so much, I don't feel serious anymore, in this case, I'll help you guard this country!"
At this time, Li Su suddenly pulled Gao Ming's sleeve, and then showed a thief smile.
"Big brother, you said that Huzi looks so much like King Yama, why don't we dress him up when we go back to Chang'an, it will definitely be scary at that time, what do you think of this idea? Hey, hey, hey, hey......"
Hearing Li Su's suggestion, Gao Ming's face suddenly darkened, and he stretched out his hand and gave him a chestnut.
"Hehe, you big-headed ghost, you have nothing to do to read more books, think less about these crooked ways, let's go, go to Puzhou!"
"Oh!"
Although he didn't know why Gao Ming suddenly changed his mind, Li Su didn't dare to ask more, and when he saw Gao Ming going out, he hurriedly followed.
Gao Ming's change of mind was naturally because of Huzi, who originally wanted this guy to catch up on sleep and then go on the road, but since he was unwilling, Gao Ming had no choice, so it was better to leave for Puzhou early and rest early.
In order to arrive in Puzhou as soon as possible, Gao Ming gave up taking the carriage and chose to ride a horse on the road, and Li Su was not willing to ride the carriage with Benben, so he readily agreed, and after each of them chose a horse, they rode and set off.
Among the three, the best war horse is the lion skull ridden by the tiger, although the tiger is very large, but also carries two heavy sledgehammers, but the lion skull carries the tiger like a fly, and easily surpasses the war horses of Gao Ming and Li Su.
Seeing this scene, Gao Ming couldn't help but sigh.
"If this is in the horse farm of the future generations, this guy will definitely be the treasure of the town, no, I can't be too far behind!"
Thinking of this, Gao Ming suddenly shook the reins.
"Drive!"
Driven by Gao Ming, the war horse under his seat also galloped desperately, and gradually began to close the distance between him and the lion.
And Li Su already likes to hunt, and his riding skills are not bad, so he easily came to Gao Ming's side, and then smiled at Gao Ming.
"Big brother, why don't we go to Puzhou first?"
Hearing his suggestion, Gao Ming immediately laughed.
"That's what I mean, drive!"
After running for about a stick of incense, Gao Ming suddenly realized that something was wrong.
What about tigers?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly turned the horse's head and returned in the direction he came, and after running back for a while, Gao Ming heard a call not far away.
"Woo...... Whew......"
Gao Ming easily told that this was a running sound, and unlike usual, its voice was very desolate at this time, like a puppy that had been discarded, which made Gao Ming cry and laugh.
"I accidentally forgot about this guy, didn't you say that tigers run very fast, why is this guy completely bad, is there a lack of exercise?"
At this time, Benben's figure also appeared in Gao Ming's sight, so Gao Ming beckoned to it.
"Benben, come here!"
"Whew!"
After seeing Gao Ming, Benben seemed to be excited again, and his running speed was much faster, and he soon approached Gao Ming.
Although Benben is only a domestic tiger, but the tiger is a tiger after all, and it is a deterrent to horses by nature, so when he saw it running over, the war horse under Gao Ming's seat was suddenly startled, and then shook off its four hooves and galloped.
Gao Ming, who was caught off guard, hurriedly grabbed the reins and leaned forward, at this time he did not dare to forcibly pull the war horse, because if he did this, he would definitely be thrown off the body by the war horse.
Riding on the galloping war horse, Gao Ming suddenly turned his head and roared behind him.
"Benben, keep up!"
"Whew......"
Hearing the unwilling voice of Benben behind him, Gao Ming suddenly shook his head helplessly.
"Benben, I can't help you now!"
