Chapter 10: On the Way to Chang'an (5)
The beggar in black continued to turn his companion's foot, and that foot could almost turn to the back!"You see, the foot has become like this, and it still keeps going?"
"It's broken, it's broken!" said the onlookers.
Tang Susu thought of what to do at this time, and shouted: "Xiaoqing, hurry, go and call Langzhong." ”
The beggar in black shouted, "What's the use of calling Langzhong, we don't have any silver, unlike your big family." ”
Tang Susu squatted down: "Little brother, don't worry, I have the silver." ”
The beggar in black looked at her: "Your legs are broken like this, how much silver can you have?"
Uncle Huang opened his mouth and said, "Ten taels...... Well, twenty taels!"
The black-clothed beggar glared: "Twenty taels!? That's only enough to see Lang Zhong." If your leg is crippled, how will you live in the future? Make a statement, first give 200 taels, if the leg is not cured and you can't walk, then give 200 taels. ”
"Four hundred cars are not a lot of silver, and we must ensure that people have a way to live in the future. ”
"Why do you want so much? The wheels were punctured, and the bones were straightened and some medicine was applied. ”
"Look at that puddle of blood, it's hurt enough. ”
"It's still a fixed price, so as not to trouble in the future. ”
The onlookers' words made Tang Susu feel that his head was big.
Tang Susu couldn't think of a solution for a while, so he had to respond to the other party and said, "Money is not a problem, just do what the little brother said." ”
Uncle Huang tugged at the corner of her clothes: "Miss, this can't be helped." How much you want, you can decide in one bite, so as not to be unclear in the future. ”
Xiaoqing echoed: "Yes, what Uncle Huang said is, just settle it." ”
The beggar in black said loudly: "Then a thousand taels! ”
"Wow!" there was a burst of boos around. There is also a humanitarian: "One thousand taels of silver, my family has never seen so much money in their lives!"
Tang Susu stood up: "A thousand is a thousand." Come home with me and get the silver ticket. ”
Everyone got out of the way, and Tang Susu was just about to leave when a man who looked like a son walked in. Although the sky was a little dark, Tang Susu could still see the appearance of the person who came: eyebrows and nose, and graceful demeanor.
He pointed at the black-clothed beggar with the folding fan in his hand and said, "It's you two again!"
The gray-clothed beggar sitting on the ground immediately stood up: "Sima Gongzi!"
Everyone was amazed: those who died in pain and came back to life were nothing at all in the blink of an eye. He seemed to stand up faster than someone with good legs.
Sima Gongzi pointed to the gray-clothed beggar again and said, "Is this girl's carriage running over your leg?" He bent down and took the severed limb of the gray-clothed beggar in his hand: "Let's see what this is?"
It turned out to be a prosthetic leg, so it's no wonder it can rotate in the trouser tube.
Sima Gongzi put the prosthetic leg in front of Tang Susu's eyes: "His leg has long been broken, don't fool him." Then he turned to the beggar: "Get out, do you want me to break your other leg?"
The gray-clothed beggar nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go." "I don't want to cut off my leg, I want to leave.
"Wait. Tang Susu said: "Xiaoqing, give them ten taels of silver." Let them use the money to open a tea shed, do some serious things, and stop doing things to extort people in the future. ”
The two beggars didn't seem to believe their ears, and stayed for a while before they said, "Sister is too kind-hearted, and we will never do anything harmful to nature and reason in the future." After saying that, he took the money and ran.
Tang Susu turned to Sima Gongzi: "Gongzi has relieved the siege, Tang Susu is deeply grateful." ”
Sima Gongzi said: "You're welcome. Where is the girl's house? If it's not convenient, I'll send you back. ”
Tang Susu pointed to the Tang family's house in front of him and said, "Thank you, son, no need." My house is right there. ”
Sima Gongzi showed an expression of admiration: "The girl turned out to be a member of the famous Tang Sect in Shuzhong." ”
Tang Susu lowered his head shyly and asked, "Childe is falsely praised, may I ask what Childe is called?"
Sima Gongzi immediately replied: "In Xia Sima Junjie, his hometown Luoyang, I have been in Chang'an for many days, and I now live in Nancheng. ”
Tang Susu still lowered his head: "Take the time to sit at home to thank you for the siege." ”
Sima Junjie's face was pleasant: "Thanks to Miss Tang, I will definitely visit." Miss Tang was frightened, so let's go home and rest first. ”
Chen Xingwu was in front, Chen Xingwen was in the middle, and Tang Wuwei was broken, and the three of them kept a distance of about five zhang and marched towards Chang'an. This formation, in the martial arts, if you want to sneak attack and be able to retreat with your whole body, no one can do it. Many martial arts masters who came to look for Chen Xingwen had to sigh and quietly quit. Of course, there are also those who take risks. The artifact that enables people to become the overlord of the world or the supreme of martial arts, the gun, is really too tempting. If those people could basically understand the situation of the gun like Tang Wuwei, they wouldn't have taken any risks. Because, even if they have a gun in their hands, as long as they can't get the balls and don't have the technology to make the balls, the gun is really not as useful as a knife for them. Therefore, only by owning Chen Xingwen can you really own a gun. But this truth is only understood by Chen Xingwu and Tang Wuwei. As a result, there are still curious people, adventurers, and ambitious people who chase and intercept them all the way, wanting to have an invincible artifact in the world.
Along the way, Chen Xingwen and his entourage found that some people were watching and tailgating, but the other party did not dare to do it easily, and it was safe. At this point, it's getting dark.
Tang Wuwei knew in his heart: The easiest thing to have an accident is at night, you have to find a place to rest, and wait until dawn before leaving. He rushed to Chen Xingwen's side, "Xingwen, let's go to the village in front of you and rest." ”
Chen Xingwen said: "It's all up to the second brother's arrangement." ”
Chen Xingwu slowed down: "I have to rest, I'm tired and hungry, and my waist is hard to straighten." ”
Tang Wuwei beat Chen Xingwu's horse with the reins, and said, "It's still far from Chang'an Road, you have to suffer." There was an inn in front of the village and we went there to spend the night. Hold on a little longer. ”
The three of them came to the door of the inn, Tang Wuwei took the lead in dismounting, and the shopkeeper came out to greet him.
Tang Wuwei walked a dart, lived here, and the shopkeeper knew Tang Wuwei. "Second master, I haven't seen you for a long time, today is a hotel, right?"
Tang Wuwei turned over and dismounted: "Stay for one night." Prepare something delicious. ”
The shopkeeper shouted: "There is wine and meat, and the three of them are satisfied, please." ”
Chen Xingwu asked, "The second brother and the boss know each other?"
Tang Wuwei said: "I often rest here." The housing is not very good, but it is clean and the food tastes good. The boss is from the two lakes, and the button meat is very refreshing, and he is tired of the day, especially if he wants to eat something greasy. ”
Chen Xingwu shouted: "Second brother, don't say it so carefully, my throat looks like I'm about to stretch out my hand." Shopkeeper, hurry up and get ready to deduct meat!"
Chen Xingwen touched his stomach, "You shout, I also feel so hungry." ”
The three of them walked into the inn and saw an old man and a young man eating in the hall. Chen Xingwen and Chen Xingwu didn't feel anything, but Tang Wuwei keenly felt a depressing atmosphere, which came from the old man's eyes.
The old man was none other than the Luoyang Divine Turtle. He glanced at a few people, and as if he hadn't seen them, he ate by himself.
Tang Wuwei picked a table far away from the Luoyang Divine Turtle and asked the Chen brothers to sit down, but he stood and bowed to the Luoyang Divine Turtle and said, "Tang Wuwei is in Xiashu, and he salutes the Taoist chief." He listened to the descriptions of Li and Qian, and speculated that this person must be the Luoyang Divine Turtle. Instead of avoiding him, it is better to come to Ming. At night, it would be even more troublesome for him to sneak attack.
Luoyang Divine Turtle laughed twice: "It's the second master of Tang in Shuzhong, you don't have to be polite." ”
His words have confirmed his identity, and the person who knows Tang Lao Er is naturally a martial arts person. Tang Wuwei no longer asked who he was. After a while, the wine came, and the junior Rong gave the Taoist a toast. ”
Luoyang Divine Turtle smiled: "It's easy to say." Is Second Master Tang rushing back to Chang'an?"
Tang Wuwei replied: "Exactly." What made the seniors come out and walk around?"
Luoyang Divine Turtle put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand: "The purpose is the same as you." ”
Tang Wuwei said with a smile: "Dao Chang is really refreshing. But I'm different from you, I'm taking my aunt home. I haven't heard that there is a daughter in your family, so naturally you don't have an uncle, right?"
The Luoyang Divine Turtle said sharply: "That's not easy?
Tang Wuwei did not show weakness: "If you have the courage, you can let the horse come." Maybe I can't hurt you, but the artifact in my uncle's hand, you can't grab ten more. How do you compare yourself to Li Cunxiao? He is willing to bow down, let alone you? I guess you have heard of the wine-colored monk, don't you want to learn from him?"
Chen Xingwen understood the meaning of what the two were saying, and held the short gun in his hand.
Luoyang Divine Turtle was shocked by Tang Wuwei's words. After fighting with Li Siyuan before, I knew that there are people outside the world. Even Li Cunxiao is not an opponent, which is really terrifying. He had heard about the wine-colored monk, but he didn't want to believe it. The person who stepped through the iron shoes to find it was right in front of him, and he was unwilling not to try it.
Tang Wuwei seemed to see his thoughts, "Dao Elder doesn't have to bother, it's good for you to think about it like this: if you can win against us, it means that the artifact doesn't have the power of legends, what's the use of it? ”
Luoyang Divine Turtle thought about it, felt that the other party's words were all reasonable, and said earnestly: "Tang Lao Er is reasonable, which makes the poor Dao mouth stop." But Poor Dao can't stop his curiosity, can Chen Gongzi let the old man open his eyes?"
Tang Wuwei understood his feelings, wasn't he just as curious at the beginning?" He turned to Chen Xingwen again: "Xingwen, what do you think?"
Chen Xingwen thought: It is better to scare him away than to injure him to death, so he nodded, "Dao Chief, just look at the wooden pillar behind you." ”
The Luoyang Turtle turned his head to look at the wooden pillar behind him, picked up a chopstick, and plunged into the wooden pillar. "Chen Gongzi, you can try this. ”
Tang Wuwei mocked slightly: "Dao Chief, you have to pay attention." ”
The Luoyang Divine Turtle got up and turned aside: "Poor Dao is staring, even if a mosquito flies by, you can see it clearly." ”
"Horn!"
The Luoyang Divine Turtle was startled. Looking at the chopsticks again, I don't know where they flew, leaving a hole in the wooden pillar the thickness of mother and child.
Chen Xingwu sneered and said, "Dao Chief, do you see it clearly?"
The Luoyang Divine Turtle came back to his senses and shook his head: "I can't see it." ”
Tang Wuwei said: "If it hits you, will the Dao Chief be confident that he will be able to dodge?"
The Luoyang Divine Turtle seemed to be deflated, and his eyes dimmed: "I can't hide." You can't see anything at all. ”
Chen Xingwu's expression was the opposite, and he was very proud: "If you look at how deep that hole is, you can deduce that even if you are wearing bronze clothes and iron armor, it will kill you a hundred steps away." ”
The Luoyang Divine Turtle probed the hole with his finger: "This is true. Such an artifact cannot be done by manpower. The poor road is an eye-opener. Chen Gongzi, what is this artifact called?"
Chen Xingwen said: "Gun!" is the name taken by General Li Cunxiao. ”
Luoyang Divine Turtle said gloomily: "Gun, gun! With him alive, what kind of face do we have to walk the rivers and lakes again? ”
Only then did they realize that the boy was not with him, and they looked around, but they still didn't see him. Tang Wuwei thought that he had gone out and looked towards the door. Unexpectedly, the boy suddenly burst out from under the table and clicked on Tang Wuwei's acupoint. His movements were so fast that the Chen Xingwen brothers hadn't come back to their senses yet, and they were also caught by him. It turned out that when everyone's attention was on the gun, the boy sneaked under Chen Xingwen's table and hid.
Tang Wuwei was shocked: "I'm fooled." ”
The boy grinned: "Master, the apprentice will bring you the gun." ”
The Luoyang Divine Turtle was not happy: "But I broke the precepts." I promised Li Siyuan not to make trouble in Jindi. ”
The boy still grinned: "Master's words are wrong, with a gun, who are you afraid of?" Even if Li Cunxiao comes to you, he has to listen to you obediently. ”
Luoyang Divine Turtle Zhengse said: "Walking the rivers and lakes, conduct first." In this way, what you do with it, it doesn't matter to the teacher. You've grown up, go and stand on your own. Follow me again, when will you be able to come out with your ghostly reputation?"
Tang Wuwei exclaimed: "Are you a ghost?"
The ghost was triumphant: "Exactly, Second Master Tang can't think of it, right?"
Tang Wuwei looked depressed: "I really can't imagine that the Luoyang Divine Turtle and the Ghost are masters and apprentices." ”
The ghost saw that he snatched the gun in Chen Xingwen's hand: "I'll try it too." He followed Chen Xingwen's example and pulled the buckle. But the gun didn't go off, because there were no balls in the hall.
The ghost saw that he was worried about it, but there was still no result, so he asked Chen Xingwen: "You say, how to get it?"
Chen Xingwen turned his head to the side and did not answer.
Tang Wuwei said coldly: "He doesn't listen to you, it's useless for you to hold a gun." ”
The ghost grimaced: "I'm not afraid that he won't listen, I have a way." ”
Luoyang Divine Turtle walked towards the door of the store: "Apprentice, it's time to take a step forward for the teacher." If there is a fate in the future, we will meet again. ”
The ghost hurriedly rushed over: "Master is slow, the apprentice is here to see you off." As he spoke, he walked behind the Luoyang Turtle, and suddenly there was a palm.
Luoyang Divine Turtle turned his head weakly: "You ......" fell to the ground.
Seeing that he was worried, he actually pulled out the sword on the Luoyang Turtle and stabbed it in the atrium of the Luoyang Turtle.
The Luoyang Divine Turtle opened its mouth and wanted to say something, but it couldn't say it. His eyes rolled upwards and he was out of breath. Poor generation of grandmasters died like this at the hands of their own apprentices.
Chen Xingwen said angrily: "He is also your master! You are so vicious that you want his life!"
The ghost smiled and said, "Don't be sad for him." He was injured by Li Siyuan before, and he probably couldn't cure me. Otherwise, he would not have refused to take a gun. Maybe he'll kill me as soon as he gets his hands on him. Who doesn't want to be the best in the world? haha!"
Chen Xingwen sighed: "It's my mistake, what am I building this gun for?
After lunch and resting for a while, Tang Susu called Xiaoqing and Uncle Huang and went to wait outside the city again. As soon as he came out of the door, he met Sima Junjie to greet him.
Sima Junjie has been dressed in white all his life, his hair is neatly combed, and he is holding a folding fan, looking beautiful. "Miss Tang, are you going out?" he asked.
Tang Susu replied: "Exactly." Sima Gongzi ......?"
Sima Junjie said twice: "I thought of sitting in your mansion, but Miss Tang had something to go out, it's not time, I'll come back another day." ”
Tang Susu's face was slightly embarrassed: "Well, I don't have anything urgent, Sima Gongzi should go into the house and have a cup of tea." Then he turned and tried to lead him into the house.
Sima Junjie hugged his fists and said: "Don't bother, I'll go to the outskirts of the city to take a walk." Miss Tang is busy beforehand. ”
Tang Susu was stunned: "I am also going to the outskirts of the city, if it is convenient for Sima Gongzi, you can go with us." It's just that the carriage can't sit down, so let the son walk. ”
Sima Junjie patted the fan in his hand: "Is it? I'll drive the carriage, so I'll do it for me. ”
Tang Susu shook his hand: "How can you let Sima Gongzi do the work of a person." ”
Sima Junjie said with a smile: "It is an honor to be able to serve Miss Tang. Besides, I often run between Luoyang and Chang'an, and I often catch a car. ”
Tang Susu hesitated for a while: "If Sima Gongzi really doesn't care, then let's go together." Uncle Huang, you can rest at home. ”
Uncle Huang looked at Sima Junjie, as if he didn't believe that he would catch the car, and after seeing his confident expression, he gave up his seat, "There is Lao Sima Gongzi." As he spoke, he handed the horsewhip to Sima Junjie. "Miss, be careful, don't go far, go back early. He confessed.
"I know. After Tang Susu finished speaking, he and Xiaoqing got into the car.
Sima Junjie also got into the car, "Uncle Huang, don't worry, let's go and go back." Can Miss Tang sit down?"
Xiaoqing said: "Okay, son, let's go." ”
Sima Junjie skillfully waved his whip, "Drive!" The carriage started smoothly.
Xiaoqing praised: "Sima Gongzi is like an old man driving the car. ”
Sima Junjie turned around and said, "When you go out, you have to learn everything." Convenient for others, but also convenient for yourself. But compared to Uncle Huang, it's far worse. Please be careful. ”
Tang Susu asked, "Sima Gongzi came to Chang'an to do business, right?"
Sima Junjie said: "Compared with the Tang Gate, it is not a business, it is just a livelihood." ”
Tang Susu said: "Sima Gongzi is too modest. In these troubled times, business seems to be doing well, but in fact, it can't make any money. Hehe, I don't know anything about business, and my brother takes care of it. ”
Sima Junjie asked: "Is Miss Tang going to the outskirts of the city to relax?"
Tang Susu sighed: "Did you go to see my husband and come back?"
Sima Junjie looked a little lost: "I didn't see you change your costume, I didn't expect Miss Tang to be married." can be worthy of Miss Tang, it must be the dragon and phoenix of people. ”
Tang Susu said: "Sima Gongzi said that he was laughing, ordinary people, where did the dragon and phoenix come from." It's just that I haven't done the etiquette yet, so I haven't changed my outfit yet. ”
Xiaoqing said: "Miss waits for him on the outskirts of the city every day." ”
Sima Junjie shook the reins: "It's so happy to be loved by Miss Tang." ”
Tang Susu glanced at Xiaoqing and motioned her to talk less about this topic, "Sima Gongzi is heroic and dignified, and there must be a girl who cares about it." ”
Sima Junjie laughed at himself, "Alone, there are too many people who miss it!"
Xiaoqing patted Tang Susu: "Miss, look at the back, Uncle Huang is still here." ”
Tang Susu opened the back curtain and looked, only to see the coachman Uncle Huang riding a horse following behind, "He doesn't worry about us." ”
Xiaoqing said: "When I was a child, he didn't care about us so much, and when we were older, he didn't feel at ease." ”
Tang Susu said: "This is in Chang'an, not Shuzhong, so he is naturally not at ease." ”
Xiaoqing said again: "If you really meet a strong man, it's useless for him to follow." He is honest and does not know martial arts, and may become a burden to us. ”
Tang Susu said: "One more person has more strength." If he wants us to protect him, it is our duty to do so. He has been driving for the Tang family for so many years, and he has no credit and hard work. ”
The ghost was afraid of leaking the news, killed the shopkeeper's family, and carried Chen Xingwen and the three of them to his room, and forced them to ask for a long time, but Chen Xingwen never spoke. "I'm impatient, and I'm going to be tortured if I don't say anything. He threatened.
Chen Xingwen stiffened his neck: "It's all death, it's a big deal to be more painful before death." You are a demon, and if you have a gun, you don't know how many people will die at your hands. Don't talk nonsense, kill or kill whatever. ”
The ghost gritted his teeth: "I have told you many times, if you teach me how to use this gun, not only will I not hurt you, but I will also give you the gold and silver treasures I have obtained." According to you, I will not hand over the gun to the king of Liang, and I will not go to him to ask for the high officials. You are right, if you give the gun to King Liang, maybe your life will not be saved. I am the leader of the martial arts alliance, with the same status as the supreme and the same money and beauty. You and my brother share it. ”
Chen Xingwen said disdainfully: "You can do everything to deceive teachers and destroy ancestors, how can I be in the same stream with you." ”
Seeing that he couldn't move Chen Xingwen, the ghost turned to Tang Wuwei, "Okay, I'll kill you, the second Tang, first, and let his brothers take a look." As he spoke, he wanted to do it.
Tang Wuwei was particularly calm: "You killed me, Chen Xingwen hates you even more, and you have no chance." You keep me, maybe I can help you figure it out. ”
The ghost saw sorrow and walked up to Chen Xingwu again: "Then I'll kill him." ”
Tang Wuwei said: "Isn't it a reason to kill him?"
Seeing that the ghost couldn't make up his mind, he walked around the house a few times, and returned to Tang Wuwei, "You say, what do you think?"
Tang Wuwei asked solemnly: "Have you ever heard of a boom and then decline?"
The ghost said sadly: "What's the use of talking about this art of war?
Tang Wuwei deliberately paused before he said slowly: "The reason why Chen Xingwen didn't say it was because he had a breath in his heart. You'll have to spend time slowly wearing him off. When he is exhausted, he will obey you. Then you and I will be able to get through him. ”
The ghost thought for a while, and then became suspicious, "Don't you want to delay time, don't you think of me as a child, in fact, my age is not much younger than you." ”
Tang Wuwei's eyes widened: "How dare Tang treat you as a child." You are the leader of the martial arts alliance, and you also need to be served, and I will do my best to help you when the time comes. ”
The ghost saw sorrow and indignation: "But this surnamed Chen is harder than the stone of the pit." ”
Tang Wuwei: "Don't be in a hurry, ...... slowly." ”
Before the word "come" could be uttered, the ghost suddenly fell to the ground in sorrow.
Somehow, Chen Xingwen's eyes widened, for fear that this was an illusion. Looking at Tang Wuwei again, I saw a smile on his face.
At this moment, a black-clad masked man entered, holding a sword. The first thing he did when he entered the house was to stab a sword into the heart of the ghost. The ghost struggled a few times, and then stopped moving.
Chen Xingwu shrank into a ball, "It's over, another one came to grab the gun." ”
The man in black stared at him: "What gun?"
Tang Wuwei hurriedly said: "The jewelry, on me, you take it." ”
The man in black unlocked Tang Wuwei's acupoint. "I never rob people, you can give it to me yourself. ”
Tang Wuwei took out a night pearl from his arms and handed it to him. "Thank you for the rescue. ”
The man in black said coldly: "No thanks, you have paid me, and both parties do not owe each other." Okay, I'm leaving. As he spoke, he flashed out the door.
Chen Xingwu's mind flashed: Where have you seen this figure?
Tang Wuwei moved his body, helped the brothers solve the acupoint, and quickly found the gun on the corpse of the ghost and handed it to Chen Xingwen. "Hurry up and get on the pills, the rivers and lakes are sinister, you have to be more careful in the future. ”
Chen Xingwu looked at the door: "Who is that person, why do I think I've seen him?"
Tang Wuwei was stunned: "Are you sure?"
Chen Xingwu thought for a while: "He covered it too tightly, and I only felt that he was in a special shape." ”
Chen Xingwen said: "I feel the same way. ”
Tang Wuwei's eyes floated: "What other people in the martial arts do you know?"
Both brothers shook their heads.
Tang Wuwei moved his fingers like a abacus and said, "My eyes are so sharp, I can't see it, I guess you are wrong." It's not uncommon for people to look alike, and I've missed you both. Fortunately, his purpose is not a gun. Xingwu almost said that he had leaked his mouth, and he must be careful when he speaks in the future. ”
Chen Xingwu replied humly, "Why did the ghost suddenly fall to the ground?"
Tang Wuwei glanced at the ghost on the side: "He was hit by a secret weapon." His attention is on us, just as we are in his tricks. Hehe, it's really a report and a report. ”
Chen Xingwen said: "The second brother's procrastination trick is used well. I'm really worried that I won't be able to bear it, although I'm not afraid of death, but I can't bear to burden you. Alas, it's all the fault of this gun. ”
Tang Wuwei waved his hand: "Don't say it, go downstairs to find something to eat, and leave immediately." There are dead people here, and the government can't find out when they come to investigate. ”
