Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, it was impossible for Tang Ming to stop it, for the sake of his own life, he had to call Xiaobai to flee from them.

People will always be accustomed to repenting after receiving a lesson, just like Li Ba who rushed into the herd of horses desperately. After a man-to-men battle, the sergeant suffered heavy casualties. Li Ba, who had already realized that he could not continue like this, let out a sigh and withdrew from the group of horses with a slim record of more than a dozen horses.

When he turned around to check on the sergeant's condition, his face instantly turned the color of pig liver, and almost none of his more than a hundred men were not injured. Most of them had blue noses and swollen faces, more than 20 wrists were dislocated, more than a dozen of them had horseshoe prints on their bodies, the two most unlucky ones were stepped on their noses, and one mouth was directly crooked by the horseshoe.

Li Ba also had multiple bruises on his arms, and a clear hoof print was particularly obvious on the clothes on his stomach. Looking at the miserable situation of his subordinates and listening to the miserable snort in his ears, Li Ba realized his mistake, and then looked at Tang Ming, who was leisurely hiding in the distance, lying on the grass with Xiaobai and drinking wine.

In contrast, a raging flame suddenly rose from Li Ba's chest, opened his thighs, and roared hoarsely as he ran: "Tang Ming......." ”

A hungry tiger pounced, Li Ba jumped up high, and roared towards Tang Ming's body in the way of Mount Tai pressing the top.

"Smack!"

Tang Ming had already noticed Li Ba's movements, and a lazy donkey turned over and easily dodged it. Others dodged, but it was miserable Li Ba, Taishan's body was not controlled at all in mid-air, following Newton's law of everything, following the original parabola, smashing the wine jar.

"Ah......" The cry of pain stopped suddenly, and Li Ba smashed through the wine jar and fainted directly.

Holding his chest in fear, Tang Ming sat on the grass and was stunned for a moment, muttering in his mouth: "Impulse is the devil, impulse is the devil!" ”

In fact, Tang Ming was not lazy during this period of time, as Li Ba imagined, taking Xiaobai to watch the excitement on the side. It can only be said that people who have no strength are used to using their brains when they work. And a person like Li Ba, who has brute force, likes to solve problems in the simplest violent way.

In less than an hour, Tang Ming had already thought of an easy and safe way to catch cattle and horses.

Getting up and coming to the wounded sergeant, Tang Ming inspected it, and ordered those who were more seriously injured to stay with Li Ba, and by the way, protect him who had fainted. The rest of the people were told to cut the most tender hay, and one had to bring back ten kilograms.

There was still a lot of young grass around the valley, and the sergeants came back one after another after going out for a while, Tang Ming checked the forage, and after thinking that there was no problem, he began to arrange for people to cut down the trees, and made a simple fence with branches. Leave a small door and let people guard the door.

Dozens of people were busy for most of the day, and finally built a pasture as big as a football field, Tang Ming grabbed a large handful of grass and walked towards the horses, although he was sure in his heart at this moment, he still carefully chose an old horse that looked relatively docile, and slowly handed the forage to his mouth.

The old horse was squeezed in the outermost part by the young and strong horses, and usually could not eat such tender grass at all, and when it was handed over, it opened its mouth to eat. Tang Ming's face was overjoyed, and he took a handful of tender grass for the old horse to eat, and just like that, he retreated while eating, and soon arrived in the paddock, closing the door of the paddock, Tang Ming's face bloomed with a smile.

Ordering a dozen sergeants who seemed to be more flexible, and let them continue to circle the horses according to the method they had just done, Tang Ming turned around and returned to Li Ba.

Li Ba had already woken up, and he had seen Tang Ming's actions just now, touching the back of his head awkwardly, and smirking: "Brother, it's my brother I'm too impulsive, sorry, sorry!" ”

Directly gave Li Ba a roll of his eyes, Tang Ming waved his hand and said: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and arrange someone to lead the horse to the boat, and prepare more forage, otherwise if these guys are hungry on the way, I estimate that they are likely to go berserk." ”

"Go right away, brother, this is your wine, you can rest assured that you have a good rest here, and I will definitely not make any mistakes again." Li Ba had already admired Tang Ming's wisdom, and it was estimated that if Tang Ming did something ridiculous now, he would also believe that there must be some reason.

Three days later, Li Ba and Tang Ming returned with a full load. Sea voyage is boring and lonely, this is the truest portrayal of Tang Ming, he sleeps every day when he eats, and eats when he wakes up, Xiaobai has gained a lot of weight these days. It seems that he has lost his previous agility, and he eats with him every day and waits for death.

But Li Ba was so busy that he was dizzy, and more than a thousand cows and horses made him painful and happy. Every day is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, but when he sees this boat full of cattle and horses, he is very excited.

Weihaiwei is very lively today, and the people in the Quanwei Institute gathered on the small pier early, all of them stretched their necks to look at the sea in the distance, as if they were waiting for something. Until suddenly a roar sounded: "Coming, coming, the captain's ship is coming!" ”

The crowd exploded in an instant, and began to gradually squeeze forward, and in the anxious waiting of the Weihaiwei sergeant, Li Ba and Tang Ming finally landed. While everyone was enthusiastically unloading the cattle and horses, three fast horses galloped forward, and did not stop when they passed the guardhouse, and went straight to the small dock.

A sharp voice also sounded at the same time: "The holy decree has arrived, and Weihaiwei is temporarily in charge of the overseer Tang Ming to take over the ......." ”

Tang Ming was just ashore in a small boat, and when he heard this scream, he was immediately stunned. He really didn't know why the decree came suddenly. He has always been so low-key since he came from the crossing, but at this time, Zhu Di, who should be busy recovering Nanjing, knew about his existence. Li Ba was only stunned for a moment before reacting, and hurriedly pulled Tang Ming, who was stupid, towards the three fast horses.

At the head was a white-faced and beardless eunuch, wearing a black coat, a cyan round-necked robe, and a pair of thick-soled fast boots under his feet. Behind him were two guards with full armor and armor, as soon as the horse stopped, the little eunuch jumped lightly and stood firmly in front of Tang Ming, it could be seen that he was a practitioner, and his skills were extremely flexible.

As soon as he arched his hand, the eunuch smiled sharply and said, "Presumably, this is the disciple of the hidden master, Tang Minggongzi!" Your Majesty has heard from the Prime Minister that you are a rare talent. The pancakes made by it have obvious effects after testing in the army, solving the hidden dangers of our Ming Army's military rations, and contributing to the health of our Ming Army soldiers. ”

Hearing this, Tang Ming's face twitched, the prime minister, wouldn't it be Yao Guangxiao, the first strategist who assisted Zhu Di to ascend the throne, known as the black-clothed prime minister? But it doesn't make sense, huh? At most, Weihaiwei's people and Zheng He knew about their own affairs, when did it reach the prime minister?

It is said that the ancients could pinch and calculate, and the stars at night could know the past and the future, and how long did he come to Daming, and he was immediately known by Yao Guangxiao, and he was stabbed to His Majesty. He has a few catties and a few taels Tang Ming knows very well, if the old bottom is calculated by others, then how will he mix it up in the future.

Seeing that Tang Ming didn't reply to his father-in-law's words, Li Ba was stunned and in a daze, afraid that the father-in-law who came to announce the decree would be angry, so he quickly dragged Tang Ming, who didn't know why, and smiled at the little father-in-law: "My father-in-law must have been tired all the way to the road, and my brother has received the holy decree for the first time, and he has been frightened." I hope that my father-in-law will not be surprised, please move to the barracks for a while, and let my brother go to prepare for a while, and then come to receive the order, I don't know if it is okay? ”

"Captain Li is polite, the miscellaneous family is also working under Zheng He's father-in-law, everyone is their own family, there is a need to be so polite, just go and prepare, the miscellaneous family will wait for a while." The little eunuch seemed to be very talkative, and he also laughed at Tang Ming's faux pas.

After Li Ba thanked him, he ordered his two subordinates to take the three of them to the big tent to rest first. And he pulled Tang Ming, who was still stupid, to change his clothes.

Changing into his official uniform as quickly as possible, Tang Ming really couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, so he had to open his mouth and ask Li Ba: "Brother Li, how did this Prime Minister Yao know about my existence and report it to Your Majesty?" Do you know why? ”

Li Batou didn't look back and walked towards the big tent, and replied: "What's so strange about this, Lord Zheng He is the disciple of Prime Minister Yao, presumably the superintendent reported your matter." You don't have to worry about these things for now, you can have money on you, and when the public announces the decree, you have to show it. ”

"There is nothing on the silver brother, only the ten taels of gold that the superintendent rewarded him last time, is it enough?" Tang Ming frowned, and handed the only ten taels of gold on his body to Li Ba.

Looking at the glittering ten taels of gold in front of him, the muscles on Li Ba's face twitched violently, and he said in a loud voice: "Alas, it's too much, but it's a pity that I don't have enough silver on my body, otherwise I can change it to my father-in-law for half of it, forget it, it will be a good thing to wait for the holy decree, and give more silver!" ”

Seeing Li Ba's painful look, Tang Ming was also very hesitant, until now, he had never had a chance to spend money, and he didn't have a clear value for the ten taels of gold, he only knew that it should be indispensable.

Soon the two of them rushed to the big tent, and the little father-in-law was very simple, and when he saw that Tang Ming was ready, he took out the holy decree and read it out sharply: "The emperor's edict said, Weihai guards the garrison, temporarily supervises the army Tang Ming to change the dry food of our army, so that the health of my Ming soldiers ......." ”

After a tea time, the little father-in-law finished reading, Tang Ming almost fainted directly, the ancient classical Chinese was really brain-burning, and he only heard the title of one hundred households in a daze.

Li Ba saw that Tang Ming was in a daze again, so he had to press his head and bow three times and bow nine times, the strength was not well grasped for a while, Tang Ming's head was knocked out of a bruise, and he was almost concussed.

After the salute, the little father-in-law laughed: "Congratulations to Tang Baihu, he received this reward from His Majesty at a young age, and his future is immeasurable!" ”

As soon as Li Ba heard this, he knew the thoughts of the little father-in-law, and took out the ten taels of gold that Tang Ming gave him on his body, stepped forward and stuffed it into the hands of the little father-in-law, and arranged for them to rest with a smile.
