274 Help
After Xiao Buyi heard Li Shimin's complaints, his thoughts turned to Pei Bei, this kid is really not thin-skinned. He didn't believe what Li Shimin said!
For Li Caiyu, Xiao Buyi's impression is still that the bully robbed the people's daughters, but he didn't believe that she would run away from home for herself.
It is not believed that Li Caiyu ran away from home for him, Xiao Buyi is unbelievable, but it is still possible to say that it is for Chai Shao.
According to Xiao Buyi's judgment, it is likely that the matter is the other way around, that is, Li Yuan beat the mandarin ducks, Li Shimin fanned the flames, and Li Caiyu couldn't stand the bewitchment of his father and brother, so he resolutely ran away from home.
Thinking of Xiao Buyi here, he looked at Li Shimin's smiling face, but there was no anger.
In any case, Li Shimin has at least no malice and hostility, Xiao Buyi is still somewhat proud, at least until now, he doesn't have to look at other people's eyes to act, but too many people want to hug his thighs.
Regardless of her Li Caiyu and Li Caijin, what he has to do now is to go to the grassland to see Meng Chenxue, and by the way, see what benefits he can get from Kedun. Xu Shiji regarded him as a god, and it seemed that it would be easy to overthrow Shibi Khan, but Xiao Buyi was self-aware and knew that things were by no means so simple.
Be careful to make the Wannian ship, no matter what, if he spoils the matter of Shibi Khan, he must beware of Shibi Khan's plots, Kedun is not a vegetarian master, if he stabs him for Yang Guang, it is very possible, he is now seeking skin with the tiger, whether he can get the tiger skin or be eaten by the tiger is an ambiguous thing.
In fact, when he received Meng Chenxue's letter, he had already taken into account what Pei Bei said, but he thought about it more, Ke Dun wanted to use him, of course he also wanted to use Ke Dun, he didn't say the crisis, he just didn't want Pei Bei to worry, but what face should he appear in the grassland, it still needs him to seriously consider things.
Li Shimin didn't know Xiao Buyi's next move, and he was still actively working hard and persevering for the marriage, "After my sister ran away from home, my family was very worried, and my younger brother was the most worried. ”
Pei Bei said suddenly: "I see that you are very happy now, not worried." ”
Li Shimin said that he was thirsty, so he wanted to drink tea, and he almost drank it in his nose, so he could only smile bitterly: "I am nothing more than playing the pipa under the coptis tree, and I am having fun in the bitterness." I don't know what to call this young lady yet, I think Brother He Xiao is really a talented woman, which is rare. ”
Pei Bei smiled, "Even if it's rare, it's still not as good as your sister's infatuation." ”
Li Shimin has been pondering Pei Bei's identity since he entered the house, and it is not good to talk too much about his sister's goodness in front of her.
Xiao Buyi is a gentleman, but in Li Shimin's opinion, a gentleman is easy to talk to, and women and villains are not easy to deal with.
Of course, my sister is infatuated with Brother Xiao, but it cannot be denied that there are many good women who are also infatuated with Brother Xiao. In terms of Brother Xiao's prestige, appearance, ability, and family background, if I were a girl, most of them would be secretly related. ”
Xiao Buyi's cough on the wave was calm, and this wave of coughing started again, angry and funny. Xindao This kid is not ashamed, he talks nonsense, and he says all the conditions for choosing a mate, but he never says anything about feelings, maybe in their eyes, the foundation between men and women is the right match, as for what feelings, it is just a luxury incidental.
Pei Bei sighed: "Fortunately, you are not a girl, otherwise I would be jealous, I am afraid that I will stab you with a knife." ”
Li Shimin's face turned a little pale, and he changed the topic and said, "By the way, Brother Xiao, where did I go?" ”
Without waiting for Xiao Buyi to answer, Pei Bei had already picked up the conversation and said: "You said that your sister ran away from home, and your younger brother is very anxious, and then, I don't know why you didn't go to find your sister, what happened to come here to find Brother Xiao?" ”
Li Shimin didn't panic, and said with a smile: "Of course there is a reason to find Brother Xiao, because my sister ran away from home for Brother Xiao, in the past, she didn't know Brother Xiao's whereabouts, maybe she couldn't find Brother Xiao, most of them went to the Eastern Capital, and walked down in the footsteps of Brother Xiao's Eastern Crusade......"
"You seem to know a lot about me?" Xiao Buyi asked with a smile.
Li Shimin said with a smile: "Brother Xiao has traveled from north to south, all over the banks of the Yellow River, even if I am a deaf person, I can know Brother Xiao's deeds, not to mention that after I know that my sister has a good impression of you, she cares about you even more." Seeing Pei Bei glaring at him, Li Shimin smiled, "I came to find Brother Xiao, in fact, I just wanted to hear that my sister would come after hearing that Brother Xiao had entered Baling County?" If that's the case, wouldn't it be better for me to stay on the side? It was I who came to find Brother Xiao, and I was ready to wait for my sister here. In fact, my father regretted it greatly after my sister ran away from home, and once he borrowed wine to kill his sorrows, he had already told me that he regretted not listening to his sister, and if he was given another chance to choose, he would definitely agree with his sister's proposal. Now he is afraid that you will know about this matter, and he will be dissatisfied with him, and he will inevitably be panicked, Brother Xiao, you promised me, and you will definitely not blame your father! ”
Li Shimin looked at Xiao Buyi expectantly, and finally rested for a while.
Xiao Buyi wanted to put the teacup on Li Shimin's head, "Shimin, in fact, if you don't say it, I won't know about these things." ”
Li Shimin said righteously: "Then how can I do it, the gentleman does not deceive the dark room, it is because Brother Xiao doesn't know that I have to say more." What if my father and sister blame me, and even if my family blames me? At least I'm sincere to Brother Xiao. ”
Xiao Buyi saw the sincere person in front of him, and finally said: "Shimin, in fact, what I know is a little different from what you said. ”
Li Shimin was not in a hurry, "Brother Xiao has something to ask." ”
Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly: "Your sister and I have actually met......"
"Yes, I originally wanted to take Brother Xiao to worship Xuanba that time, but my sister insisted on taking you there that time, I think since that time, I ......" Hearing Xiao Buyi's incessant cough, Li Shimin asked with some concern, "Brother Xiao, if it is cold today, you must be careful of your body and pay attention to the cold." ”
Xiao Buyi said in his heart, it is chilling enough to see you kid, "Actually, your sister really doesn't have any feelings for me, and I don't know that she is infatuated with me at all, and she even hinted to me euphemistically that there is no possibility between us." Shimin, so I invite you to ...... in the future."
"She hinted to you that it was impossible?" Li Shimin was a little surprised, "Brother Xiao said she rejected you?" ”
Xiao Buyi nodded, "Probably." ”
Li Shimin muttered in his heart, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Brother Xiao, I don't dare to make irresponsible remarks about other aspects of you, but I don't dare to agree with this emotional aspect." Women, most of them are subtle, how can they directly agree to you? It is reasonable to excuse myself, and in my experience, when this woman says no, she actually agrees. ”
"What if the woman says yes?" Pei Bei couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, that's what it means to agree." Li Shimin did not hesitate.
Pei Bei was dumbfounded and muttered, "It seems that you really know women better than me." ”
Xiao Buyi couldn't help laughing, "If according to what you said, there is no woman in the world who doesn't like me." ”
Li Shimin was proud, "Well, what I said is not absolute, but there is some truth." It's like the person who knows you best is not necessarily your friend, but your enemy. And it is not necessarily women who know women best, but men ......"
Xiao Buyi interrupted his tirade, "Shimin, no matter what, you have to find your sister first, what do you think?" ”
Li Shimin also felt that it was not appropriate to be in a hurry, and pleaded: "Brother Xiao, since my sister is very likely to come to Baling, I still ask me to stay here and wait for my sister, I don't know what Brother Xiao wants?" ”
Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "Shimin's sincere heart towards my sister is really touching. This is a big place in Baling County, it's not a problem to accommodate you, Belle, go find Shaofang and let him arrange a place for Shimin to rest. ”
Li Shimin followed Sun Shaofang away, quite satisfied, and secretly wanted to deal with people like Xiao Buyi, he had to grasp his thin-skinned weakness, anyway, my sister would marry whoever she married, if she could marry Xiao Buyi, according to Xiao Buyi's strength, and the Li family's north and south alliance, there would be no one in the world who could compete. As for Chai Shao's loss, what is it, without a sister, it's a big deal to find a sister to marry him.
**
In the early morning, Li Shimin finished washing and went to the general's mansion early, and also thought about what he wanted to talk about today.
The relationship between Li Caiyu and Xiao Buyi must be wooed, but he also wants to take this opportunity to have a good talk with Xiao Buyi and make a good impression of each other.
But when he arrived at the General's Mansion, he quickly let him enter the living room, but after waiting for a long time, Xiao Buyi did not appear.
Li Shimin's mind turned, but there was no displeasure on his face, he drank tea leisurely, looked around at the layout of the general's mansion, and found that although the general was quite large, the layout inside was simple. Although Xiao Buyi has only arrived in Baling not long ago, it seems a little shabby, Li Shimin secretly said in his heart, Xiao Buyi does not value money, does not pay attention to form, the layout of the general's mansion can be seen, a man is for two things in his life, one is for fame, one is for profit, that is, not for profit, it should be for the name of the world.
Just thinking about it, Pei Bei walked in slowly, Li Shimin was not slacking off, and stood up with a smile: "Miss Bei." ”
Although Pei Bei knew him before, he didn't know Pei Bei, he only heard that Xiao Buyi called her Bei'er yesterday, of course he wouldn't enjoy the same treatment as Xiao Buyi, he only called Miss Bei, so although he didn't know each other, he also seemed familiar.
"Your sister didn't come to find Brother Xiao last night, what are you doing here today?" Pei Bei asked coldly.
Li Shimin knew that she ridiculed her for coming too often, and she hurt her sister, so she didn't care, and said with a smile: "Actually, I'm not here today, but it's not for my sister's business." ”
Pei Bei's face softened slightly, "Then what are you for?" ”
"When I passed by Xiangyang and Baling, I saw that General Xiao had reissued the Juntian Order, and the rent was modulated, which won the support of the people, so I came to learn from General Xiao and learn these two decrees."
"Then you're unlucky." Pei Bei suddenly laughed, "Brother Xiao is not here today. ”
Li Shimin was slightly stunned, and said in an instant: "I don't know where General Xiao went, why didn't he say a word to me." ”
"Is he obligated to give you an obligation?" Pei Bei said disdainfully.
Li Shimin still smiled, "That's not true, but I have always admired General Xiao, if he has something, I just want to see if I can help." ”
Pei Bei spoke coldly to Li Shimin, and when she saw him acting as if nothing had happened, she also had a big headache, "Brother Xiao is not in the General's Mansion, I still have something to do, so please go back first." She turned around to leave, but Li Shimin hurriedly stopped her, "Miss Bei, I don't know if General Xiao will turn around tomorrow?" ”
Pei Bei shook her head, "I don't know." ”
"So where did he go? It's also troublesome for Miss Bei to say that I know. Li Shimin's face showed a look of pleading.
Pei Bei smiled sneeringly, "He may have gone to Jiangxia, or maybe he will go to find your sister." ”
Li Shimin was stunned, and said after a while: "Miss Bei, I know that you have always been dissatisfied with me, but I am helpless. Can I not look for my sister, or can I not listen to my father? I see that General Xiao is quite close to Miss Bei, and I want to come to Miss Bei to be the main room in the future, if my sister marries General Xiao, she will not take into account any status, as the saying goes, one sheep is also raised, and the two are also ......"
"It's good that I'm not your sister." Pei Bei muttered to herself.
Li Shimin said with a smile: "If Miss Bei wants to be my sister, I welcome it with both hands, I have a sister like you, and it is also a blessing from my previous life." ”
"If I have a younger brother like you, I really didn't cultivate in my previous life." Pei Bei's eyes widened, "If I were your sister, the first thing I would do would be to strangle you!" Li Shimin, I'm dissatisfied with you, not because of Li Caiyu, but because you don't treat your sister as a human being...... Forget it, it's useless to talk to people like you. ”
Pei Bei left angrily, Li Shimin couldn't stop him again, and shook his head, "Fortunately, you are not my sister." ”
When he walked out of the General's Mansion, he couldn't help but be a little dazed, and said in his heart Where did this Xiao Buyi go, could it be that he secretly went to get Jiangxia, it was very likely. His occupation of Xiangyang and Baling this time is really a clever move, at least in terms of region, Xiao Buyi has the least enemies at the moment, he will take Jiangxia again, go south along the river, and the entire Jiangnan will soon fall into the hands of Xiao Buyi! Thinking of this, Li Shimin was stunned in his heart, secretly thinking that Xiao Buyi had already made a move, and his own Lao Tzu was still cowering and didn't dare to come out, which was really disappointing.
**
When Li Shimin was thinking about where Xiao Buyi went, Xiao Buyi was already in Shangluo County, hundreds of miles away.
Xiao Buyi didn't go to get Jiangxia, and of course he didn't go to Li Caiyu, since he decided to go to the grassland, he only went on the road after seeing off Li Shimin, and briefly arranged the matter of the chin tomb, and the white horse spear went straight to the Turks.
Baling County has Pei Xingyan, Sun Shaofang, Pei Bei, etc., which can be regarded as reassuring him, plus Dong Jingzhen and others, it can ensure that Baling is worry-free.
Now Xiangyang and Baling counties are the objects of his key development, as long as Xiao Buyi's prestige and benevolent name are spread, the surrounding counties, as long as they are not stubborn, in the troubled times, will no longer serve the Sui family, and most of them will come to follow.
He set off at noon, did not enter the city, just rushed all the way to the north, ran until dusk, people are also spirits, horses are also handsome, but have run out of more than 500 miles, and then traveled for an hour, see the moonlight without fatigue, but he is distressed, cherish the horsepower, now found an inn to live for a night, the second day of the dawn continued to hurry, and now has arrived in Shangluo County.
Shangluo County is not far from Tongguan, Tongguan to Baling County has a distance of more than 1,000 miles, Xiao Buyi ran less than a day to travel most of the distance, the moonlight can be called a thousand miles, live up to the name of a thousand miles.
Since he accepted the moonlight, it was rare for him to run so happily, and he secretly wanted to cross the Yellow River from Tongguan to the Bird Mouse Valley, and then the road was really familiar.
In the past three years, from north to south and from south to north, he has almost traveled to most of the Central Plains. The three words Xiao Buyi have also spread almost all over the Central Plains.
It's just that there are a lot more bandits along the way than a few years ago, some bandits saw Xiao Buyi's white horse Shenjun, and secretly robbed him, Xiao Buyi didn't want to do much, just urged the horse to hurry, the bandits saw the white horse galloping like flying, and disappeared in an instant, and their thoughts couldn't turn around, let alone rob, they couldn't help but be envious and jealous, and sighed.
In the morning, I rushed for another hour or two, Xiao Buyi slowed down his horsepower slightly, only thinking that there was still a distance to Tongguan, according to the current speed, he could definitely arrive before dusk, and then he would be able to rush for a day or two, when he could get to the grassland, thinking of re-entering the grassland, and a few years ago, he was also full of emotion.
From south to north, the weather turned cold, less green, more gray, fortunately there was no snow, the road was not difficult to walk, but the trees along the way were bare, and it looked a little monotonous and boring.
After slowing down for a while, Xiao Buyi urged the horse to go again, and when he passed by a forest, he suddenly moved his eyes and saw a person hanging on a tree, his legs were kicking, and there was a weirdness in the desolation.
Xiao Buyi did not hesitate, reached out to pick up his bow, and shot an arrow with a 'snort'.
His archery skills are like gods, his arm strength is strong, and although he is far away, his arrows are not bad at all.
The long arrow broke the rope, and when the man landed, Xiao Buyi had already arrived on horseback, the arrow was accurate, and the horse was also fast!
The man fell to the ground and suddenly cried bitterly, "Strongman, what do you do to save me, it is better to let me die!" ”
Xiao Buyi took a closer look at the man, and saw that he was dressed as a scholar, and his clothes were not bad, but the east and west were full of blood, his face was also bruised, and there were blood stains on the corners of his mouth, which looked like he had been beaten up.
"Since I saved you, you are not in a hurry to die......"
The scholar looked up at Xiao Buyi, and saw that the other person was handsome, and the horse was also heroic, and he had a good impression in his heart, but he still shook his head and said: "Zhuangman, you saved me for a while, but you can't save me for a lifetime, if you leave, I will still die." ”
"You're not even afraid of death, what are you afraid of?" Xiao Buyi said lightly.
The scholar looked at the north and sighed: "Sometimes, it is much more difficult to live than to die. ”
Xiao Buyi frowned, "I have something important to do, give you a cup of tea to explain the situation, I'll see if I can help you." You don't know how to cherish it, and I can't help it. ”
The scholar raised his head, stared at Xiao Buyi, his lips squirmed twice, "Zhuangman, you are invincible with two fists and four hands, the hero can't stand the wolf, and the Hulu thieves are many powerful, and now I have robbed my wife who has not passed the door, I promised to live and die with her, since I can't save her, I saw her enter the thief's den, my heart is like a knife, and I just want to die." ”
Xiao Buyi frowned, and said in his heart that this is still more troublesome, he was busy on the road, and he arrived at the grassland earlier, Meng Chenxue could also think about countermeasures earlier, to save his wife, and he didn't know where he was robbed...... The scholar said: "I know that the strong man is also very embarrassed, if the strong man is willing to help, just ask to bring a letter to my home, even if Du Ruhui dies, he is deeply impressed by the great virtue of the strong man." ”
Xiao Buyi's eyes flashed, "Your name is Du Ruhui?" ”
Du Ruyan was stunned, "The strong man knows me? ”
Xiao Buyi said in a deep voice: "Do you know a secretary named Wei Zheng?" ”
Du Ruyan was surprised and said, "Could it be that the strong man also knows Brother Wei Zheng?" ”
When he said this, he obviously admitted that he knew Wei Zheng, Xiao Buyi made up his mind at the moment, for the sake of this Du Ruhui, he had to save his wife, this Du Ruhui is a talent, it seems a pity to die like this.
"I know Wei Zheng, and I've heard of you, you said that your wife who didn't pass through the door was robbed by Hu Lu thieves, do you know where he is staying?" Xiao Buyi asked, but he muttered in his heart, secretly thinking that there were still people with this name, could it be that his parents had the foresight when they gave birth to him, and knew that this guy was born to be a thief?
Du Ruhui shook his head, "I don't know." ”
Xiao Buyi asked and knew that Bai asked, useless is a scholar, seeing that Du Ruhui is not badly dressed, his hands are as white as a woman, you ask him about his knowledge, ask him about the whereabouts of the thief, that is really a blind question.
"If you are a man, stand up and go with me to your wife." Xiao Buyi said in a deep voice: "If you don't even have the courage to try, I have a knife here, which is very sharp, and it is easy to wipe my neck." ”
Du Ruhui sighed, "Strong man, I'm useless, I can't save people, but I'm afraid of implicating strong men, so I'm bent on death." If the strong man can rescue my wife who has not passed through the door, Du Ruhui will always feel great in this life. ”
Xiao Buyi nodded, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he had already carried Du Ruhui onto the horse, and he also flew on the horse to urge the horse forward.
Du Ruhui also weighs more than 100 catties, and when he sees that Xiao Buyi is not burly, he is like a chicken when he carries himself, which is really a divine power, and he can't help but be surprised, and he has more confidence in rescuing his wife.
"You always know where they're going?"
"To the north."
Xiao Buyi nodded, took the horse's reins, and the moonlight neighed softly, as if flying northward, Du Ruhui saw the trees on both sides flying backwards, and grabbed the horse's neck tightly in fright.
After walking a short distance, the moonlight stood suddenly, but it was smooth and abnormal, Du Ruhui breathed a sigh of relief, heard the wind behind him, and disappeared Xiao Buyi's whereabouts, and in an instant, he saw Xiao Buyi dismount without knowing when, and had already stood in front of a gangster on the side of the road.
The thug was holding a chicken leg in his hand, shiny and shiny, foaming at the mouth, and when he saw a person suddenly in front of him, he was scared 'Mom', and the chicken leg fell.
Xiao Buyi reached out to catch the chicken leg, handed it to him, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know where the Hulu thief is located?" ”
The gangster took the chicken leg, and his heart was a little fixed, seeing that the person who came was not a ghost, and the person was still growing in the jade tree in the wind, and the horse was handsome, he couldn't help but have evil intentions in his heart, and secretly said that this horse is not bad, if it is brought to the market to sell, it can also make a lot of money, "What are you looking for Brother Hu?" ”
Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "I'll talk to him about the past." ”
The gangster was skeptical, "You are the oldest, Brother Hu is the boss here......"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Buyi had already slapped and fanned it, and the gangsters didn't have the idea of dodging, so they were beaten by him, his eyes were full of stars, his mouth was open, and he spit out blood, with two teeth.
"With me here, the Hulu thief is at most the second." Xiao Buyi said coldly: "Also, if I ask you something, you will answer, and if you say another nonsense, I will cut your tongue." ”
He is used to saluting first and then soldiering, but some people are always disrespectful, Xiao Buyi cherishes time and can only use his old fists to face each other.
The frightened 'Goo Dong' fell to his knees, tears and snot flowing with the blood at the corners of his mouth, "Daxia spare my life, I don't know Hu Lu thief." ”
Xiao Buyi kicked over, and the gangsters rolled into a mess, Xiao Buyi had already drawn a knife in his hand, and sneered: "You don't know Hu Lu thief, it's useless for me to keep you." ”
The handle of his saber is slightly longer, and the blade of the knife is a few points longer than that of an ordinary single knife, thick and heavy like a machete, pulling it out with a cold light, and the frightened soul of the gangsters is scattered, and he said loudly: "Hero, I really don't know the Hulu thieves, and they have nothing to do with them, but I know that they are all in Cangyu Mountain not far from the vicinity!" ”
(To be continued)
