Chapter Seventy-Nine: Amazing
When the dynasty came, the Tang Dynasty smiled, grandma's, I have now also been addicted to the minister, so I will go to Shandong to go around, if there is really no rain within 15 days, then escape back to Nanzhao! I made up my mind in my heart, but I felt unusually comfortable, no matter what, saving my life first, this is the most important thing.
In fact, not only in the Tang Dynasty, but also when Li Linfu was a waiter in the Yellow Gate before, Li Longji also gave him difficult questions from time to time, in order to test your ability and see if you can accept reuse, after all, a person like Huangmen Shilang will be a natural candidate for the prime minister and the books of various ministries in the future.
Shandong drought, has been nine months without rain, grandma's, only give Lao Tzu fifteen days, hope is obviously slim, but before leaving the Tang Dynasty, by the way to Confucius's hometown of Shandong Qufu to go around, it may not be a happy thing, grandma's, Ben Qincha can also show majesty, think of this, very interesting.
When I went home that day, I met Yang Guozhong coming to visit. Although I don't want to make friends with such a guy more, I think that he is Yang Yuhuan's cousin after all, if I remember correctly, he will be Li Linfu's successor in the future, and the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty in the future, such a person, after all, he still can't really offend.
Yang Guozhong walked in, and the maids of the whole Tang Dynasty gathered around to take a look, after all, this man is so beautiful, really beautiful, no wonder he is such a maid and slave.
Tang Dynasty's eyes showed a slight jealousy, and then he was relieved, I heard that the nobles of Chu State were particularly good at men during the Warring States period, and it seemed that if Yang Guozhong was born in that era, he would be able to show his skills.
Yang Guozhong entered the hall proudly, looked at the carved beams and paintings around him, and praised him: "Lord Tang, you will really enjoy it!" ”
"Where, where, the dwelling is unbearable, come and come, sit in the living room!"
As soon as he sat down in the living room, Yang Guozhong said excitedly: "General Zhang Qiu and Qiong have to thank me heavily this time, I have just heard about what happened in the court today!" ”
Tang Chao was shocked, this kid is not simple! Listening to the tone of his voice, he already knew what had just happened in the court, and said at the moment: "Why did he thank you!" ”
"It's not simple, Lord Tang Dynasty, it's like this, he asked me to give my sister Yang Guifei a gift, I gave it all to my sister except for a string of pearls for my own use, my sister liked it very much when she saw it, saying that she especially liked the kind of mink that was as white as snow sent by General Zhang, Lord Tang Dynasty, you saw my sister not long ago, she also summoned me, I told her about Zhang Qiu and Qiong, she was very happy at the time, said that it was a trivial matter, she would help with this, I also begged my sister, When the time is right, get me an official to be an official! ”
"She said yes!" Tang Chao suddenly felt a little jealous.
"Of course, I'm her cousin, I grew up watching her, and with this affection, can she not agree to me?"
"Oh, then this time the emperor did not cure the crime of Zhang Qiu and Qiong, because Yang Guifei said good things to him in front of the emperor!"
"Needless to say, I came this time to tell the third brother about this, and I heard that the third brother is in some trouble now, if Shandong asks for rain, things are a bit tricky, isn't it!"
Tang Chao didn't pay much attention to this big brother, but seeing him so enthusiastic about himself, a sense of gratitude suddenly rose in his heart: "Yes! The younger brother knows that the emperor's meaning is that he doesn't want me to be in the court, he is doing this to find me, there has been no rain for nine months, what can I do to ask for rain in fifteen days, isn't this a clear fix for me? ”
Yang Guozhong said: "This is not the case, think about it, didn't the emperor send the Taoist priest in the Yuzhen Temple to pray for rain with you?" If it really can't rain, the court is not responsible, saying that the court has no blessings, can not rain, at that time, it also damaged the reputation of the court, perhaps, the emperor did this, it is really a test for you, maybe, I know a Taoist priest from Youfang, a native of Maoshan, I heard that the law is strong, you can call the wind and rain, do you want to introduce it to the virtuous brother! ”
Tang Dynasty's eyes immediately lit up: "Maoshan Taoist, very famous!" ”
Yang Guozhong said: "Yes! I heard that ordinary Taoist priests can only pass through walls and attach images, which can be regarded as strong Taoism, but this Maoshan Taoist priest can really call the wind and rain and has special abilities! ”
"Quickly, quickly, who is his surname and where he lives now!" The Tang Dynasty seems to have grasped the straw of life, and the urgency of the mood can be known.
Yang Guozhong said with a smile: "Third brother, don't worry, the so-called 'Panasonic asks the boy, and the teacher will collect medicine; Only in this mountain, the clouds are deep and I don't know where', you live in Zhongnan Mountain all day long, but you can't think that here is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and some are masters, but you didn't find it! ”
"You, you said that you are in this Zhongnan Mountain!" Tang Chao thought vigorously in his heart, and at the same time believed that masters like my master Sun Simiao lived in this Zhongnan Mountain, and other masters lived in Zhongnan Mountain, which was also an ordinary thing.
"Yes! I know where he lives, a few days ago he went to Mrs. Qiuguo's house to make a fortune, I was fortunate to know him, speaking of knowing this person, there was really a meeting! ”
The Tang Dynasty was anxious to go to the Ministry of Rites to negotiate going to Shandong to ask for rain, knowing that time was his life, if there was no rain within fifteen days, once he was caught by the emperor, it would inevitably cost him a small life, where would he have time to listen to what story he said, and said anxiously: "Big brother, the story will be told later!" Let's go to him, my little brother's time is more precious than gold! ”
Yang Guozhong smiled: "Yes! I'm confused for my brother, let's go, I'll tell you while walking! ”
Time is pressing, the Tang Dynasty did not have time to say goodbye to the master, only to Sheva simply explained what happened, and asked him to quickly and the five tigers of the Zhuan clan to prepare a salute, and follow him to the top of the northern slope of Zhongnan Mountain, he knew that with the master's martial arts, others could not hurt him, if he really could not complete the emperor's task, he had to take Shewa and others to flee back to Nanzhao first, after all, it is very important to preserve the strength, if their own affairs happen, Sheva and others are stationed in Beijing, what happened, it is a big loss, The four tigers of the Zhuan clan are all brave generals, and once they lose, it will be a big loss for Nanzhao.
In fact, the Tang Dynasty did this, there is another meaning, that is, you can protect yourself when you are in a hurry, after all, there was such a big drought in Shandong, the grain is not produced, there will be many thieves, with a master like Sheva by his side, it is equivalent to buying a talisman, the master has so many slaves and maids to support him, but he can also live for a long time, and there is no need to trek the rivers and lakes at the age of ninety-nine.
But strangely, when the Tang Dynasty was about to go out with the Five Tigers of the Zhuan Clan, Sheva and Yang Guozhong, Sun Simiao's immortal figure appeared at the door: "Child, I have heard your words, but if you delay the things ordered by the emperor, don't do it, let's go directly to Shandong!" ”
Yang Guozhong's face turned red: "Sun, Senior Sun, that Taoist priest is very effective!" ”
Sun Simiao's face sank: "I'm ninety-nine years old, no one has ever seen it, don't believe in these evil arts, kid, go to Shandong!" Are the people there still waiting for you to pray for rain? ”
"Yes, master, goodbye!" Get down on your knees.
Sun Simiao hurriedly pulled him up: "Child, most of the Taoist priest's things are fictional texts, and they have no actual effect, when you come back, the master can also pass on some to you, go!" However, you don't have to take someone like Yang Jushi with you, be careful along the way! ”
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the way, the Tang Dynasty led Sheva and others to Qufu, Shandong, gradually the spring is no more, only to see the leaves are gray and withered, there are no seedlings in the field, only a few stars such as weeds in the desert, there are starvation everywhere, there are old people, women and children, all ugly and not shaped, ragged, revealing the skin of the east and the west, all of which are black and yellow in color, as if the cow has just been produced, and it is disgusting to look at.
The Tang Dynasty and Sheva and others as well as the Taoist who begged for rain rode in three luxurious carts, which used the style of a first-class official, a horse-drawn carriage, and four black horses had plenty of grain and grass behind the carriage, and they were struggling to raise their hooves and drag the smoke and dust on the Shandong Plain.
Tang Chao held a glass of ice water in his hand, looked at the birdsong that broke out from time to time in the low air, and felt very comfortable, grandma's, finally left the dangerous place in the capital, now, I am the minister of the Qincha, and there are many masters around me, the letter is good, that is, I met Tie Murong, who is the most famous in the Central Plains, and I am not afraid at all, I only feel that the affairs of the world are under my control.
This feeling is very wonderful, it is a kind of free realm without self, only feel that heaven and earth are one with themselves, unintentionally, the Tang Dynasty realized the Confucian principle of the unity of heaven and man that history teachers often said, perhaps, only at such a time, when people are not in any danger, can they feel the natural world so clearly, and feel the tranquility of the soul.
Tang Dynasty's body and mind were in absolute relaxation, and he even forgot for the time being that the emperor had to bring up the head of the emperor to see him if he didn't ask for rain within fifteen days, and he thought of the preciousness of power, mother's, if he hadn't been a minister, he might not have felt today's state of mind for the rest of his life.
Only people who are aware of life can have such a state of mind, and only such a state of mind can make amazing achievements in being an official and learning martial arts, before, the Tang Dynasty saw on TV that Li Shishi, who was only seventeen years old, defeated all the most famous Go masters in the world, and there was a yearning in his heart, a kind of shock, this kid did not go to school, only learned chess, and could not imagine that at such a young age, he defeated all the masters in the world and became the champion of the LG Cup.
The top master is a realm, is a kind of existence that can hardly be expressed in words, and even does not take age as the division of superiority and inferiority, when Wu Qingyuan traveled east to Japan, there was no opponent in the world, and what he possessed was also a little more calm than the average top chess player, no chess player can start from the fall, calculate the east, west, north and south 147 hands from the beginning of the catastrophe, this is the reason why the computer can easily defeat the super-first-class chess player when using chess, and the computer is helpless when the game of Go is at the top.
There are some things in the world, you have to calculate, all aspects have to be calculated, that is never finished, you don't have the super computing ability and memory ability like a computer, people themselves are material, you are forever confined to the natural world, is a product of nature, will not surpass nature to become a void existence, if there really is, like those immortal cultivators can live with heaven and earth, can be with the sun and the moon, then it is pure mythology.
Therefore, manpower is sometimes poor, and countless great men are helpless in the face of life and death and the great power of nature.
No matter how great life is, it is just compared with human beings and things similar to human beings, who wants to think that in the infinite universe is a grain of sand and a piece of, so people live with a state of mind.
Just when the Tang Dynasty was living in a realm of selflessness and true self, he encountered the most dangerous thing in his life.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
His carriage was high in front, galloping towards the official road, the dust was everywhere, and the road was open, originally, in such a situation, no one would choose such a time to plot, but the driving letter suddenly felt a strong murderous intention, he immediately took control of the bridle, drew his sword, because a shot was coming.
When the assassination was completed, the letter immediately knew the assassin's intentions, and took care of himself first, so he swung his knife wildly, but to no avail, he slashed through the air with a knife, and then, his body was flicked outward by a strange traction, and then, he felt himself fall lightly to the dry ground.
He had no choice but to do this, he didn't dare to forcibly twist his body in mid-air, in that case, his waist would be broken, and even then, it would not necessarily be able to prevent the enemy's secret attack on the Tang Dynasty in the car.
The Tang Dynasty instinctively got up, and the body suddenly jumped up lightly, and a beautiful harrier turned over in the air, and threw himself towards the wheat field a zhang away.
The carriage he was riding in was provoked, provoked by a big gun, the barrel of the gun was bent like a bow, the reins of the four horses were broken, neighing and rushing out in all directions, the Sheva on the back car could see clearly, and at the moment when the gun was about to pick up the car, the tip flashed four times, and then, the reins made of ox tendon were broken like rotten wood, and then, the carriage was provoked, and it whirled in the air, and fell to the Tang Dynasty, or rather smashed into the Tang Dynasty.
When the Tang Dynasty turned over in the air, it had exhausted the remaining momentum on its body, because it was tumbling down, staying in the air for a little longer, the carriage was able to come first, and the assassin's grasp of the strength had reached a state of perfection, so the Tang Dynasty instinctively hit the wheel.
Listening to a bang, the hard camphor wood wheel was hit into a curved ruler, and then, the Tang Dynasty shot out like an arrow, the wrist of the person holding the gun turned, everything between heaven and earth seemed to be frozen in an instant, the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, only saw a trace of the afterimage of the tip of the gun, and then, he heard the whistling wind, such as the iron whistle screaming, blowing up his ears numb, he knew that such a shot, enough to put himself to death, if he was on land, he could still dodge with dexterity, dodge, dodge, but now the gun is together, although only one shot, But Tang Dynasty felt that his whole body was empty, and his whole body was exposed to his attack range, and the man with the gun showed a smile on his face, he knew that now was not the best time to shoot, he had to wait until the tip of the gun was within a stone's throw of Tang Dynasty before firing a thunderous shot!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The demeanor of this gun, the beauty of this gun, and the inevitability of this gun can be described as amazing, and the people in the gun are like an ant in the whirlpool of the sea tsunami, there is no possibility of survival, and the Tang Dynasty is already certain to die.
But there was a premise, if no one saved his life.
Sheva saved him.
Just as the gun picked up the carriage, Sheva had already leapt to his feet, and then, with a burst of sword light, he finally unleashed his sword.
At the moment when the tip of the spear was about to kill Tang Chaoge on the spot, the tip of Sheva's sword burst out with a clutching divine light, accurately hitting the tip of the spear.
A series of hysterical screams, like popping beans, resounded throughout the audience, and the guns and swords did not know how many times they exchanged fire in an instant, and finally, with a wipe of the card, the gun in the hand of the man in black made a depressed breaking sound, and then, split into two from the middle, but the man in black did not retreat half a step, but showed a very regretful and conceited look on his face.
By this time, Sheva had fallen to the ground like a speck of dust.
This black-clothed man was a masked man, leaving only a bright eye exposed, and at a glance he knew that his bearing was extraordinary, only to see him let Tang Dynasty and Sheva fall to the ground, and said in a heavy voice: "Good kung fu, I don't know when there was a character like Your Excellency in the Central Plains martial arts!" ”
Sheva smiled: "Good kung fu, you are also a character, I almost died in your hands!" ”
The man in black smiled and said, "Yes, if I had a fine steel gun in my hand, I might have been able to kill you, but unfortunately, I never used an iron gun, because it was too bulky!" ”
It was only then that a look of horror appeared on Sheva's face, for he saw the head of the spear that had fallen to the ground, and the trunk of a tree that had been broken in two.
It was a small trunk, about nine feet, with many new shoots exposed, and the broken spots were not neat, apparently not cut with a sword, but with the force of a palm.
Although this is a small tree, it is a very tough willow tree, which shows that this person's martial arts have reached the point of being soft and strong, which makes him think of what the Tang Dynasty told him yesterday about Zhang Qiu and Qiong, this person's martial arts should not be under Zhang Qiu and Qiong.
Moreover, if I hadn't cut off his spear with my sword, I would have been in mid-air, in a very disadvantageous position, and I would have almost died in his hands, and I would not have spoken nonsense.
Tang Dynasty still has palpitations now, but his mind turned quickly, this person is so strong in martial arts, and he is masked, then he must be a famous master in the Central Plains martial arts, then, who is it?
At this time, the five tigers of the Zhuan clan had already faintly surrounded the black-clothed man together with the Tang Dynasty Shewa.
In front of such a lineup, no matter how strong the master in the world is, he may not be able to retreat with his whole body, and at such a time, the black-clothed masked man showed a trace of regret on his face that was not easy to detect.
He regretted that he was too light on the enemy, and he came to assassinate the Tang Dynasty single-handedly.
He is also entrusted by others, before leaving, the person who wants him to do it, has secretly given a detailed introduction to the Tang Dynasty this time to go to Shandong to ask for rain to bring a few people, he listened, only this Zhuanxin's martial arts are not satisfactory, but compared with himself, there is also a big distance, even if the Tang Dynasty and Zhuanxin's skills are similar, but what he has to deal with is only the Tang Dynasty, once he succeeds, immediately escape, this is nine out of ten, so he respects his identity, and will be above board the road.
But he met Sheva.
He could never have imagined that Sheva would have such a strong martial arts, such a tall, bald head and big ears, and a mediocre person, who would have such a strong skill, just look at his swordsmanship, flexible and round, and have already won the true meaning of swordsmanship, and he will fight him one-on-one, and he may not be able to beat him, and now with that good martial arts, if the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty and several other people are almost the same as the letter, then his current situation is really dangerous to the extreme, once he is entangled by Sheva, Then Nineteen will give his life here today.
The Tang Dynasty saw that the encirclement had been completed, but he was not in a hurry to attack, but just said: "Masked man, let me ask you, this official has a grudge against you, and you want to harm me like this!" ”
The man in black snorted and didn't answer, as if he felt that answering him seemed to lower his identity.
But Tang Chao was not angry: "Masked friend, although you want to kill me, but how can I Tang Dynasty kill you, in my opinion, you are so strong, not like a villain, I guess you are asked by someone, as long as you promise me a condition, I will let you go immediately, the current situation, you have also seen it, if you don't give me an explanation, it will be difficult for you to give birth to this place today, what I said is not wrong!" ”
The man in black finally nodded, but obviously seemed to have made a big decision, and said slowly: "What conditions do you have!" ”
"My conditions are very simple, you don't want to assassinate me again in the future, I'll let you go!"
The black-clothed masked man could no longer imagine that the Tang Dynasty would mention such a light condition, and he couldn't help but be very surprised, he thought that the Tang Dynasty would ask who the person who made him the master, and sneered: "Just such a condition, are you telling the truth or a lie!" ”
"Of course it's true, why should I tell a lie in the Tang Dynasty, I believe in you, you should be a responsible and identity person, if you say it, you will definitely be able to do it!"
The man in black smiled a little slyly: "You don't know me, what if I'm a faithless person!" ”
Tang Chao said unhurriedly: "Although the Tang Dynasty is ignorant, he also knows that there should be no more than five amazing martial arts like Your Excellency, and these five masters must be famous figures in the rivers and lakes, as long as people like you no longer regard me as an enemy in the future, what is there to be afraid of in my Tang Dynasty!" ”
People like to listen to compliments, these words of the Tang Dynasty are extremely clever sycophants, which he pondered out in the officialdom these days, and it can be regarded as the best kung fu of being an official, sure enough, this masked man heard it and said with a smile: "Hehe, you listed my martial arts in the top five in the world, it is an exaggeration, there are many heroes and heroes in the rivers and lakes, and the Tang Dynasty has won awards!" ”
Tang Chao said: "As far as I know, the top five masters in the world, Zhongzhou hero Tie Murong should be counted as one, the beggar gang leader Li Nanjing should be counted as one, and there is this Shewa hero, which should be counted, as for the remaining two, the famous Ma Zhengzhang in the court and the Jiannan Jiedu envoy Zhang Qiu and Qiong, can be counted, as long as they are the top masters, all of them have experienced a hundred battles, if they are not famous, they can't be called the top masters, I think since Your Excellency is not willing to show his true face, he must be a big master with a lot of status, Tang Dynasty only asks you not to deal with me in the future, other things, even if you don't ask, you can know a thing or two, but there is no need to make Your Excellency bear the evil words of dishonesty, in this way, Your Excellency has agreed to this condition I just had! ”
"Wait!" Tang Chao's heart skipped a beat, he knew that even with the current lineup, it would be luxurious in the future, but if he really wanted to keep this person, he was afraid that it would still be difficult to do it, if he found himself in the future, he knew that it would be difficult for him to prevent this person's sniping.
But the black-clothed masked man suddenly sighed: "Hey, I did this for my friend, and I did my best, and adults can't blame me, farewell!" ”
As he spoke, he arched his fist, turned and walked out, ignoring the empty door behind him and selling it to Sheva behind him.
Tang Chao was overjoyed in his heart, he knew that since he walked out, it was equivalent to agreeing to his request, what an arrogant person, even when he admits defeat, he will never say a word of weakness, so it seems that this person's status in the martial arts must not be low, plus he has seen his height, physique and eyes with his own eyes, so it looks similar to what the master Sun Simiao said about Li Nanjing, the leader of the beggar gang.
Could it be that the one who stabbed me with a wooden gun just now was the current leader of the beggar gang, perhaps, he didn't use the green bamboo cane he was good at, but used a big gun that was often used in the battle array, in order to hide people's eyes.
But if all this is true, then who can invite such a master?
Such a martial arts master, it is not possible to rely on dispatch, he must have borrowed some factors such as affection, but who in the court has such a big face, can invite such a big master to be his gunman?
Almost immediately, the Tang Dynasty thought of Li Linfu, could it be him?
Please have the support of flowers, thank you.
