On the official road to Jinyang, a donkey cart walked slowly. The ox was unhurriedly whipped on the donkey's buttocks. Behind them, Li Shimin and Mo Mo sat quietly, and no one spoke. This is the third day on the road, and neither of them has spoken for three days.

After a few days of recuperation, Li Shimin's injuries have been healed, and the two brothers and sisters decided to take Li Shimin to Jinyang immediately, one is to quickly settle their family affairs, and the other is to go to Jinyang to sell art, so that they can earn more money.

Li Shimin had already told the two that he was the second son of Tang Guogong, but unfortunately neither of them believed what he said, so they had no choice but to talk about it when they got to the place. After having intimate contact with Li Shimin that night, he became silent and didn't talk much, and Li Shimin didn't know what to say, the two were like strangers, and they were in a dull hurry.

According to the distance, it should be possible to reach Jinyang tomorrow, so Li Shimin and Niu Zhuangzhuang discussed staying in the town in front for one night. Because he was worried about Li Shimin's injury, although he didn't have much money on him, Niu Zhuangzhuang still agreed.

After entering the town and finding the only inn, the three of them drove the donkey cart to the backyard, then went to the front hall and sat down, ordered a few simple bowls of soup cakes, and filled their stomachs.

Li Shimin has been accustomed to this kind of life in the past few days, although it is not moisturized in the Tang Mansion, it can be regarded as another flavor. Several people were bored eating, but a team of officers and soldiers came outside the door, judging from the color of their uniforms, it was Li Yuan's Northwest Army.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he was about to speak. Who knew that when Niu Zhuangzhuang saw these people coming in, he snorted and said directly to Momo: "You eat with Li Gongzi here, I'm full!" With that, he stood up and walked towards the room in the backyard.

Li Shimin looked at Niu Zhuangzhuang inexplicably, and looked back at Mo Mo in confusion. Momo whispered: "Don't speak, the people behind are not good people, eat quickly, go back to rest after eating." ”

Li Shimin frowned slightly, took a bite of the soup cake and said, "How do girls know that they are not good people?" ”

"Don't ask, eat!" Momo whispered.

Li Shimin was really curious, why the Northwest Army was not a good person, and looked at a few soldiers who came in. The leader was a burly man, with a dignified appearance, and he should be a captain in his attire, followed by seven soldiers, tall, short, fat and thin. Li Shimin didn't see anything wrong.

He shook his head and said, "At the end of the day, you brothers and sisters seem to have some misunderstandings about the official army, these are northwest soldiers, and they won't be bad people." ”

The end was about to be finished, and Li Shimin was still nagging where, she simply wiped her mouth and said angrily: "Do you like to eat or not, I'll finish eating, and I'll leave first." He stood up and walked to the backyard.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, he was angry no matter what he said, shook his head helplessly and continued to eat soup cakes with his head down.

The soldiers who came in did not eat, but looked around vigorously, probably looking for someone. When he saw Momo get up and leave, the captain cast a color on his men, then stared at the boss at the counter and asked, "Do you have a back door here?" ”

The boss didn't dare to mess with these soldiers, so he nodded quickly. The captain was very satisfied, took out two five-baht coins from his sleeve and threw them on the counter, and said with a smile: "Remember, our grandfather has never been here, let alone leak his mouth!" Then he smiled and walked towards the backyard.

Li Shimin lowered his head to eat, and when he heard him say this, he felt a little uncomfortable. The Northwest Army is the main component of Li Yuan's team, these must be some general's subordinates, but it seems that they are really not good people, they don't eat at the inn, they don't live in the store, they ask the back door directly, and the boss can't leak it, maybe they did something bad.

The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more angry he became, how could the Li family have such soldiers. Seeing them leave like this, Li Shimin was unwilling, but when he thought of his current appearance, it was estimated that no one knew him, and there were still brothers and sisters of the Niu family, so there was really no way. I had to stand up and go back to my room in a rage.

Because Li Shimin's injuries were not healed, Niu Zhuangzhuang specially asked him for a room, a room for two brothers and sisters. Entering the room, Li Shimin was still thinking about the soldiers just now, no wonder the brother and sister both said that the soldiers were not good people, it seemed that there were such talents who brought bad reputations, and they must discuss it with their father after they go back.

After doing it at the table for a while, the wound on my back began to hurt again, so I had to lie on the couch and fall asleep after a while. Hearing a heavy knock on the door in a daze, Li Shimin got up with a grunt, and only after sobering up did he ask, "Who?" ”

"Me!" The sound of a strong cow sounded outside the door.

"Come on!" Li Shimin tidied up his clothes, walked to the door, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Niu Zhuangzhuang's face full of anger, pushed Li Shimin away, and went straight into the room.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some annoyance: "What's wrong with Brother Niu, why do you treat your little brother like this?" ”

As if he hadn't heard him, Niu Zhuangzhuang walked around the room, took a good look at the bed, turned around and came to Li Shimin, grabbed Li Shimin's collar and asked, "Where did you hide my sister?" ”

Where did Li Shimin receive such treatment, he grabbed Niu Zhuangzhuang's hand with one hand and broke it hard, but he didn't expect that the strength of others was much greater than him, and he couldn't break it at all. Li Shimin blushed a little, but when he heard Niu Zhuangzhuang's words clearly, he immediately said, "Brother Niu, do you mean that Mo Mo didn't go back?" ”

"Don't pretend to be a good person here, here but me is you, if you don't hide her, who else can there be? Pity my Moda, how can I believe your word! Niu Zhuangzhuang was a little incoherent.

Li Shimin was also stunned, and said for a long time: "Brother Niu, you let me go first, it's really not me who is hiding, let's think about when the end will not be there." ”

"You still want me to let you go, you are dreaming, hurry up and hand over the end, it's okay to say anything." Niu Zhuangzhuang admitted the reason for death, and decided that Li Shimin was hiding at the end of the day.

The fire in Li Shimin's heart also rose, and he directly pushed Niu Zhuangzhuang with his palm, and said, "It's important to find someone now, don't entangle with me." ”

Niu Zhuangzhuang didn't expect Li Shimin to make a move, and he was accidentally hit by Li Shimin, but fortunately, Li Shimin's fist and foot kung fu were not good, and he didn't use force, but it sounded very loud, but it didn't hurt him.

Niu Zhuangzhuang was also angry, he hid people and beat people, and he was unreasonable, so he also stepped forward and fought with Li Shimin.

Both of them were angry, and they were both anxious about the end, so they scuffled together. Originally, the room was not big, and the things on the table were all beaten to the ground, and in the end, the two of them did not move through the wooden table. Niu Zhuangzhuang gasped and said, "If it weren't for the injuries on your body, I would have beaten you down." Tell me where the end is? ”

"I said it all, I haven't seen Momo since I finished eating, why don't you believe me?" Li Shimin was also tired, and said panting. "With this little effort, we would have found her a long time ago."

"It's really not you?" Seeing that Li Shimin still doesn't admit it, Niu Zhuangzhuang seems to realize that he is indeed looking for the wrong person.

"It's really not me! Say when the end is gone. Li Shimin didn't bother to say anything else, the wound on his back cracked open again when he scuffled just now, and it hurt his heart.

"Hey." Niu Zhuangzhuang sighed, sat on the stool and said, "I haven't seen her since I returned to the room after eating, and at first I thought she would be with you after eating." I lay down and rested for a while, who knew that I slept until just now, and when I saw that it was so late, she hadn't come back yet, and I thought you were ......"

Li Shimin frowned and said: "After you left, Mo Mo stayed for a while and said to go back to the room, I didn't finish eating, I kept eating in the front hall, I thought she went back." ”

"So where will she go? Since she was a child, she hasn't left without saying hello, where to find it! Niu Zhuangzhuang held his head in his hands and lowered himself in pain.

Li Shimin walked around the table, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's useless for you to be busy now, we should think about why she left." ”

"Why? You said! Niu Zhuangzhuang had no idea, and asked Li Shimin again.

Li Shimin thought about it: "During this time, has she ever said that she wants to go out, or that she is very unhappy because of something and wants to be quiet by herself. ”

"Never." Niu Zhuangzhuang refused: "She has always been very arrogant, how can there be anything to worry about, there is only one thing to say." ”

"What's the matter?" Li Shimin hurriedly asked as if he was grasping a life-saving straw.

"Do you need to ask?" Niu Zhuangzhuang glanced at Li Shimin and said: "It's not because of you, she worries that you don't want her every day, and she always thinks that she has a child, so she doesn't talk to you." ”

Only then did Li Shimin know the reason for not speaking, and he felt a little helpless and guilty. looked at Niu Zhuangzhuang and said: "It seems that she left when you went back and I was still eating, let's go to the boss and ask." Saying that, Li Shimin had already taken the lead and walked out, and Niu Zhuangzhuang followed suit.

The backyard is not big, and the two of them found the boss's house without much effort. The boss had just finished cleaning up the front, and when he came back, he just lay down, and was woken up by Li Shimin and the others. I opened the door angrily and saw that it was these two people, and asked what was going on.

Li Shimin didn't bother with him, and just said the matter. The boss didn't have any expression at first, and when Li Shimin said that Mo Mo was missing during that time, he suddenly opened his mouth and closed it again.

Niu Zhuangzhuang's eyes were quick, and he grabbed the boss and said, "What do you know, say it quickly!" ”

Li Shimin hurriedly let him go, glared and said: "You can't talk well, don't you want to find someone, I don't want to look for you to go back, I'll find it myself." ”

"He must know something, you didn't see that he wanted to talk just now, and then he didn't say it!" Niu Zhuangzhuang let go of his hand and shouted.

Li Shimin waved his hand helplessly, and then said to the boss: "Is there anything bad to say, it's okay, you tell us, we promise not to talk about it to others." ”

The boss was taken aback by Niu Zhuangzhuang and looked at them a little timidly. Li Shimin smiled: "Don't be afraid, he won't beat people, he was in a hurry just now, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." As he spoke, he turned his head to Niu Zhuangzhuang and said, "Come and apologize to the boss." "Glad.

Niu Zhuangzhuang is not stupid, but his approach may be more direct than Li Shimin, and he will make a fool of the boss when he sees the situation. The boss dared to accept his courtesy, and hurriedly said: "Forget it, don't say that you said it." Your sister may have been taken captive. ”

"What?" Li Shimin and Niu Zhuangzhuang both exclaimed at the same time.

The boss still whispered timidly: "It's at dinner, the few military masters you see, during this time, they often look for people around here, as long as they appear, there will always be young women missing, I think they should have done it." ”

Li Shimin and the two looked at each other, regretting it in their hearts.
