Chapter Twenty-Six: The Demon King of the Mixed World
"Drive", "drive", ...... With the sound of horses driving, there were bursts of messy horses' hooves on the official road, and a large group of people and horses surrounded the two carriages towards Gusu City.
At a distance of five miles from the gate of Gusu City, he was stopped by two teams of people.
Facing the obstruction of the two teams of black-clothed men, the guard leader in charge of the escort raised the knife in his hand and signaled everyone to be on guard and ready for battle at any time.
The person on the opposite side, dressed in armor, but masked, unable to see clearly, with a pair of bright eyes, swept over the large group of people, and his gaze stayed on the four-horse carriage.
The man stood in the middle of the road on a tall horse.
He rode a horse, walked to the opposite side alone, chuckled, waved his hand casually, signaled to the more than 100 guards opposite, put down the weapons in his hands, and then said with a smile: "Uncle Thirteen, where are you going? Our uncle and nephew have not seen each other for many years, and we meet here today, why don't we come out to reminisce about the past, my nephew misses Uncle Thirteen very much." No, I only sent someone to your house last month to deliver the letter. I heard that the thirteenth uncle traveled far away, and the nephew was here to wait for the big ride. ”
As the man in black spoke, he had come to the side of the guard leader, he raised his hand, patted the other party's shoulder, and said, "Little brother, don't be nervous. ”
When the guard leader saw that he was coming alone and did not bring any weapons, he withdrew the knife in his hand and said, "Dare to ask who is coming, I will report to the master?"
The man in black only chuckled, but did not reply, and rode his horse to the carriage in the middle.
The guards were on guard with swords, for fear of any change.
Before he got to the front of the car, the curtains were lifted, and a man in his thirties looked out of the car.
But seeing that this person was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, five big and three thick, and a gorgeous dress. When he heard that someone dared to block his way, he was about to have a seizure, so he called someone to hold it.
But when he heard someone claiming to be his nephew, he muttered to himself in his heart that he was a relative.
And when he saw him coming alone, he suppressed his temperament to see what he wanted.
Seeing the man in black walking to the window and taking off the black cloth, the man in the car couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly replied: "Who should I be? It turned out to be the second eldest of the fourth brother's family." Don't blame your thirteenth uncle for being rude, put the guy away for me. The middle-aged man laughed.
The lady beside him, who was slightly chubby, leaned over when she heard her husband say this, looked at it fixedly, and then said with a smile: "It turned out to be the second nephew, you came with a lot of people, aren't you afraid of scaring your uncle and your aunt?"
The man in black laughed and replied, "Hello auntie, I haven't seen you for many years, but my aunt is still so handsome." ”
"Haha, don't make your aunt happy, you said you didn't stay in the capital, what did you come to Gusu for?" The noble lady smiled, her eyes narrowed into a slit.
The man in the car tore away his wife and complained: "Stay away, we will talk, you old lady don't intervene." ”
He replied to the man in black outside the car, "Wait a moment, and then get out of the car." ”
The man in black just chuckled and got off his horse.
The two walked side by side, the man in black led the horse to lead the way, and under the escort of several retinues, the two came to the pavilion next to the official road and sat down.
The two talked secretly for a long time, and the guards guarded from afar, and they didn't know what the two were talking about.
The man in black got up and said goodbye, and rode away with his accompanying guards.
The middle-aged man returned to the car and kept complaining: "It's all your troubled girl, you have to come all the way to Suzhou to take a look." That's a good thing, it's a problem. Tell me about the long history. ”
The middle-aged man was anxious, rubbing his hands, not knowing what to do. The woman asked, but the man ignored him.
The old man who looked like he was forty or fifty years old came in a hurry, he knelt in the car, and the middle-aged man whispered in his ear.
After hearing this, the old man was stunned and did not dare to speak for a long time. He was so frightened that sweat broke out on his forehead, and the lady didn't dare to say anything more when she saw that the situation was not good, and looked at the two of them in surprise.
The middle-aged man asked anxiously: "You are usually quite able to speak, why are you silent at a critical moment?"
The old man wiped his sweat and replied, "It seems that our whereabouts have already been exposed, and if we stay any longer, our lives will definitely be lost." What Shi Cai said, if it is reported by the defendant and known by the above, it must be a major crime of the Nine Clans. ”
When the lady heard this, she broke out in a cold sweat and obediently stayed aside, saying no more.
The middle-aged man pounded the car, suppressed his anger, lowered his voice, and said angrily: "Of course I know that it is a big crime, I don't care, Old Man Yang, you can't think of a way, I'll let your head move first." ”
The old man calmed down, stroked his beard, and said in a low voice: "Now that the matter has come to this, I can only take risks." Horizontal and vertical is a death, it is better to take the risk of fighting. Perhaps, it's the best of both worlds. ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, his anger turned to joy, and the old man stepped forward and whispered in his ear.
......
It was already dusk, and at this time, in a bookstore in Gusu City, Wen Peng was talking with the shopkeeper, and there were two books on the cabinet.
It turned out that he had finished reading the "Book of Han", and two days ago he bought a copy of "Three Kingdoms" in this bookstore, and when he heard that the bookstore was selling Mr. Shi's "Water Margin", he hurried over and wanted to exchange "The Book of Han" for "Water Margin".
The guy at the counter listened to it, if the customers were like him, the bookstore would have closed long ago. When Wen Peng was discussing with his buddy, he was heard by the shopkeeper on the side.
The shopkeeper saw that he was a studious scholar and a frequent visitor to the bookstore, and although he was not very old, he dabbled in a large number of books.
He remembered that the book on the counter had been sold for less than half a month, and he had read it with great amazement.
The shopkeeper had the intention to test him, and then smiled: "I already know the ins and outs." Although it doesn't conform to the rules, read on the love that the son is also a frequent customer of our store, and a pair of them will come out below, and if the son can come up, he will agree to exchange them. Okay?"
When Wen Peng heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "The student has the courage to give it a try, and he also asks the shopkeeper to ask the question." ”
"Okay! Listen, my coupling is: The bird is trapped in the cage, and I hate Guan Yu and can't fly. ”
"Lao Tzu turned into a beard, and the phantom Bodhi seemed to come again. Wen Peng said and was about to take the book.
After hearing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but nodded, and when he saw that Wen Peng was about to take the book, he stopped: "Hehe, although it is right, it is not the right job." Don't worry, listen up, there's one more question. ”
He continued: "Wen Wu is the first, but he is high and low, and Wu Wu is the second, but he only fights for victory. ”
"There are only eight buckets, how can they be compared, it seems that Pan Anmo talks about beauty and ugliness," Wen Peng said casually.
"Good boy, not small. Listen to one more question. "The shopkeeper, seeing that the child on the other side is difficult, seems to be unwilling.
He continued: "The ancient moon is shining in the window. ”
"The hills and mountains look at the peaks. Wen Peng blurted out, seeing the shopkeeper's reluctance, he sighed, and was about to take back the "Book of Han".
The shopkeeper stroked his beard and said, "I can imply the name of the great lyricist Li Qingzhao in my Shanglian?"
Wen Peng put down the book and replied: "Gu Yue is Hu, the Qiu Mountain I am right about is Yue, Yue Wumu's Yue." Li Qingzhao, the student is right Lu Fangweng, the concept of words. ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he patted his forehead and chuckled: "Rude, rude, I forgot it for a while." Ashamed, ashamed. ”
"Hey, students shouldn't mention the exchange of books in vain, and please forgive the shopkeeper, and the students will leave. Wen Peng picked up the book and wanted to leave.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "How can you go back on what you agreed on just now?" Since the son has already answered, the son of this book will take it. However, the small shop is thin, please forgive me next time. ”
Wen Peng looked happy, picked up the book, thanked the shopkeeper, and turned away.
He was full of joy, and on the way back, when he passed a silk village, he saw that the shops were surrounded by people.
The people around him whispered from time to time. "Who has provoked this shop, and it has been harmed so much, is there any royal law?" someone said unevenly.
"Hey, be quiet. Did you see the flag on the carriage? It was the people of the Acting Palace, I heard that this generation of the king is the thirteenth prince of the grandfather, who acted recklessly in Datong Mansion, bullied the people, and did all kinds of evil in the fish and meat township, and people gave him the nickname 'Demon King of the Mixed World'. Hey, this store still thinks it's unlucky. The man on the side reminded.
"Yes, this man's lawlessness is a scourge. I heard that the first emperor had already demoted him to a concubine, and now the saint has restored him to the title. But he did not repent, and began to do evil again. Isn't it just relying on the identity of the emperor's relatives and relatives?"
"Why didn't this stupid overlord stay in Datong Mansion and went to my Wu land to do it? Could it be that this person was renamed to my Suzhou as the prince? In the future, won't we and the people suffer every day. Someone said puzzled.
The onlookers were talking. Wen Peng squeezed through the crowd and came to the front row.
But I saw that the shopkeeper was beaten and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, his face was covered with blood, and he was lying on the ground wailing, several guards were raising knives to take care of them, and a team of guards were busy carrying the silk, cloth and other goods in the store. The store was in shambles, with containers staggering.
Seeing this, Wen Peng was full of anger, walked forward awe-inspiringly, and scolded loudly: "Stop! When the time of death has come, you dare to act for the tiger here!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned. The child in front of him, who was only eleven or twelve years old and five feet tall, dared to reprimand the subordinates of this "demon king of the world" in front of the public.
There was silence all around, and the onlookers, for fear that this child had been poisoned, secretly wondered whose child this was it, and dared to meddle with such idle matters.
The leader of the group of guards stared at Wen Peng viciously, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he shouted, "Look for death!"
He dismounted with his head high, sword in hand, and came angrily.
