Changsun Wuji hesitated to speak, and his brain was spinning? What is this?
Zhang Yang clasped his hands and sighed, looking not far away. Li Tai was standing in front of his house, saluting every elder who came to congratulate him.
These elders came in groups, and after putting down their congratulatory gifts, they left after saying a few words.
They didn't even enter Li Tai's mansion. It seemed that the clan and relatives were keeping a distance from the prince.
There is nothing that can be done about it. The emperor is a very powerful person, and all relatives outside the clan must be careful.
Currently, there are only two relatives who are trusted by His Majesty, and one is Changsun Wuji.
The other one is Zhang Yang.
Both of them hold important positions in the government.
Not long after, Li Xiang came to congratulate Li Tai's uncle instead of the prince.
I saw Xiao Qingqing showing off his power on a bear.
Li Xiang saluted politely, "How are you doing?"
Xiao Qingqing said with a straight face: "I should be the one who salutes my cousin."
Li Xiang smiled and said, "My mother and concubine gave me instructions when I came here, to be respectful and polite when meeting people."
Xiao Qingqing was very unconvinced with Li Xiang, mainly because his father was the prince. She whispered: "Although you are from the prince's family, my mother is the richest person in Guanzhong, and soon she will become the richest person in the world." Wealthy people."
Li Xiang added: "Lishan is already very rich, and my mother also said that Lishan's family fortune will be even bigger."
Xiao Qingqing nodded heavily and said, "That's natural."
Li Xiang was escorted back by Li Anyan. He frowned and thought, "General Li, Lishan is really a good place."
Li Anyan added: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has told you that if your Majesty wants to spend the winter in Lishan Mountain in the future, you can also come here."
"Um."
Li Xiang nodded and got on the carriage back to Chang'an City.
Zhang Yang and Changsun Wuji heard the conversation between Xiao Qingqing and Li Xiang just now.
As Li Tai's uncle, Zhao Guogong did not prepare to return to Chang'an City until there were no more guests to visit.
Zhang Yang cupped his hands to say goodbye and said: "The child is ignorant and makes Duke Zhao laugh."
Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and said: "What the child said is correct. In fact, you are already the richest person in Guanzhong. Your family property is as big as the small country of Nanzhao. Looking at who's family property in Guanzhong can compare with Lishan."
"By the way." Changsun Wuji added: "Can you tell me what kind of book that brainteaser is?"
Zhang Yang clasped his hands and said to Li Tai who was standing aside: "Your Highness, King Wei, is the book on brain teasers still there?"
"I happen to have a volume in my hand."
After saying that, Li Tai hurriedly walked into his house and came out a moment later with a volume of books, "Uncle, please have a look."
Changsun Wuji took the book and whispered in a low voice: "I will pick it up and read it for three or two days, and then I will send it to you."
Li Tai saluted and said: "There are many copies of this book in Lishan, so I will give it to my uncle."
Changsun Wuji got on the carriage back to Chang'an City. When he opened the book, he saw a series of questions, "On a rainy day, there was leaking in an old house, but no one got wet. Why?"
"Um?"
Looking down at the answer, Changsun Wuji smiled in surprise, "It turns out there is no one in this house."
"There are two old farmers standing side by side with their backs facing each other. One of them is facing west and the other is facing east. They are walking together. How far must they go before they meet?"
Changsun Wuji thought for a moment, then gave up his guess and looked at the answer below, "Huh? Everyone take a step back."
He smiled in surprise again, the seemingly simple question was actually very meaningful.
The groom of Changsun's family was driving the horse. He sat on the shaft of the carriage and listened to the laughter of Zhao Guogong in the carriage. He was very puzzled. What happened today?
Li Tai's child was born, a boy named Li Xin.
The next day, Cheng Chumo's daughter-in-law also gave birth. It was like a tacit agreement that when one child was born, other children would also be born.
After giving birth to a daughter, Cheng Yaojin personally came to visit his son and his newborn granddaughter.
Zhang Yang has been busy these days. The two best brothers in the Tang Dynasty have children, which is of course a gratifying thing.
A banquet was held in the village, and Zhang Yang personally received Cheng Yaojin.
Now Cheng Yaojin is a bit fatter in middle age, but he is also a general who came out of the army. His conversation has the atmosphere of the army, and his eyes have some murderous intent.
Zhang Yang poured wine for General Cheng Yaojin, "How are you doing?"
Cheng Yaojin shook his head.
Zhang Yang asked again: "Is it bad?"
Cheng Yaojin nodded and said puzzledly: "Recently, Changsun Wuji, the old man, got a strange book. He often asks questions to test his teachings, so that we can scratch our heads and make fun of us."
Zhang Yang frowned and said, "How can Duke Zhao do such a thing?"
Cheng Yaojin picked up the wine bowl. The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became, so he asked, "I asked you what the use of egg shells is."
Zhang Yang thought for a moment and replied: "Of course it is used to wrap egg yolks and egg whites."
"Huh?" Cheng Yaojin paused for a while and then asked, "Who is the one who never dares to take a bath?"
"Clay figurine."
"Huh? I'll ask you again!" Cheng Yaojin took a sip of wine and asked, "Which month has twenty-eight days?"
"There are twenty-eight days in every month."
Seeing Zhang Yang's fluent answers, Cheng Yaojin stared, "Why do you know everything?"
Zhang Yang said melancholy: "That scroll was taken away from Lishan by Duke Zhao."
"Hiss..." Cheng Yaojin asked again: "What an intolerable thing for such an old fox to use Lishan's scroll to bully a certain family!"
Zhang Yang gave Li Tai a look, and Li Tai quickly walked to the bookstore in the village and hurriedly fetched a volume of books.
Cheng Yaojin took it with one hand and started to read it, laughing wildly from time to time, "I don't want his eldest grandson Wuji to be like this, and a certain family will have to deal with him."
Listening to Li Tai's story, the old man smiled even more happily.
Zhang Yang drank wine alone and looked to the west.
"Since the teacher left, my husband has been drinking more."
Hearing Li Yue's words, Zhang Yang put down the wine bowl and said, "I can't drink any more."
Li Yue whispered: "Actually, the teacher also hopes that my husband can come out as soon as possible."
I stopped drinking the remaining half bowl of wine.
Zhang Yang was holding Li Yue's hand, and only she could see that even though she acted relaxed now, she still hadn't let go.
The master's wife went to Longyou's ancestral land and never came back. She has been taking care of the teacher's death.
Cheng Yaojin returned to Chang'an City after a drink, so much so that there was a scene in Chang'an City. The old man actually shouted at the door of Changsun's house that he wanted to compete with Changsun Wuji in a battle of wits.
Recently, the general group has been frequently provoked by Zhao Guogong.
There were many dissatisfactions among the warriors in the court.
Today, Cheng Yaojin came forward to compete with Changsun Wuji. He held a scroll and asked: "What is higher than the sky in the world?"
Changsun Wuji replied: "My heart is as high as the sky!"
The onlookers suddenly exclaimed again, yes, only the spirit can be as high as the sky.
As more and more people gathered around, Cheng Yaojin and Changsun Wuji took turns answering and asking questions, and they were evenly matched.
Niu Jinda whispered: "Second Brother Qin, this Chang'an City is really evil."
Qin Qiong was chewing dates in her mouth, and looking at Cheng Yaojin and Changsun Wuji looking equally indifferent, she couldn't help but nod.
At this moment, west of Chang'an City, the great man-eating land of the Western Regions and Persia passed by.
There is a castle here. The castle is very old.
Its windows are so small that even the sun doesn't seem to get in.
The ancient castle didn't look very high, but Dashi used a lot of effort and the vast majority of his troops to capture Jerusalem.
This year, after the war ended, they began to plunder the population to make up for the cannibal population.
Inside the castle, several people were talking in low voices.
An old man said slowly: "Is there such a wealthy place in the east?"
Musab took out a piece of soap and whispered: "The Tang people are very wealthy. This is what they use to bathe. They say this is soap."
Handing over the soap, Musab stood respectfully.
The weather today was gloomy and drizzling, so it was very dark inside the castle, and torches were placed on the walls to burn.
Musab looked to his right, his brother Ibn, who was in his thirties.
Umar was defeated by the Tang people, so the prophet's son-in-law could no longer inherit the position of the prophet.
His exploits were no longer enough.
Musab's expression was gloomy. Now the person vying for the position of successor to the Prophet is his brother Yin Ben Bair.
His elder brother's reputation was higher than his own, and he joined the army to defeat Byzantium at a young age. After crossing the sea, he plundered countless wealth.
This brother is his only rival to inherit the position of prophet.
Several old men passed soap to each other without speaking.
After the death of the prophet, they were responsible for all political affairs in Dashi.
Musab didn't like these old men, they were too old to remember anything.
Seeing Yin Ben walking out of the castle, Musab followed suit.
Yin Ben asked in a low voice: "Is Datang very rich?"
Musab nodded, "They are very rich and have endless food! We still have an army of 600,000 people. The Tang Dynasty has a maximum of 80,000 people guarding Persia. We can defeat them."
Yin Ben turned to look at his younger brother, "My brother, the war is over."
Hearing this, Musab loudly said: "The Tang Dynasty did not say that it wanted to negotiate peace!"
Yin Ben was disappointed with his brother's words. He whispered: "If Omer loses again, I will send another envoy to Datang to negotiate peace."
After that, he left.
Musab looked at his brother's figure with anger in his eyes, and his fisted hands were still shaking.
After a while, a man in white robes came to Musab's side. He was a wise man captured from the west.
Brown hair, blue eyes, white skin.
"Dear Abu, the cannibal war must be over."
"You made my brother think so."
Musab said angrily.
That night, Musab brought the wine he bought from Chang'an City to see Yin Ben, "Brother, I have figured it out."
Yin Ben had an easy-going smile. He always treated people with respect and acted like he was loved by others.
Musab poured him a bowl of tea and said, "This is the wine of the Tang Dynasty."
Yin Ben took a sip and frowned: "It doesn't taste good."
Musabu added: "My brother didn't think it tasted good at first, but it will get better after drinking a few more bowls."
Yin Ben stopped drinking and whispered: "You still hope that Dashi can go to war with Datang."
"No, we can't start a war. My brother is right, the big cannibal needs to rest."
Hearing this, Yin Ben finally had a smile on his face.
Musab poured another drink and said, "Let's have another drink. My brother will go to Persia to make peace with the Tang people early tomorrow morning."
Yin Ben was overjoyed. He was very pleased that his naughty brother could say this. He put aside his worries and took another sip of wine, and then asked: "Can science really be so powerful?"
Musab nodded, "Yes."
"You say science goes against the prophets?"
"After the food crisis is settled, I can go to Datang to see for myself, and there will be no more wars in this land."
"good."
Yin Ben raised his head and drank the drink.
I just didn't notice the side of me when I raised my head. I just felt a sudden chill in my heart. I slowly looked down and saw a dagger stabbed into my heart.
Musabu pulled out the knife again and stabbed Yin Ben in the chest again.
Warm blood flowed on Musab's hands. With a cold look in his eyes, he whispered: "Brother, you have never been to Chang'an City. You don't know how wealthy the Tang people are and how poor the food is. If you go there, you will also want to conquer them."
As Musab spoke, he stabbed Yin Ben again until he couldn't stand up and fell to the ground.
The murderer Musab was very calm. He threw away the dagger he bought from Chang'an City, wiped the blood from his hand, and whispered: "The big cannibal is going to start a war. Brother, you don't understand. You have never seen the faces of Tang people." His smile and his innate arrogance.”
"These are things that the Great Cannibals don't have. Compared with them, the Great Cannibals are like barbarians..."
The words were spoken in a low voice, and Yin Ben still stared at his brother until the last light in his eyes dissipated.
After sitting here for a while, Musab walked out of the earthen house and shouted: "Yin Ben is dead! It was the Tang people who killed Yin Ben!"
As soon as he finished speaking, many Dashi guards rushed in.
Musab pointed to the wine on the ground and on the table and said, "Look, this is the wine of the Tang Dynasty, and this is the knife of the Tang Dynasty."
A wise man in white robes came in a hurry. He looked around and pointed at Musab and said, "You killed him."
Musab smiled playfully.
The guard on the side stabbed the white-robed wise man in the belly with a knife.
The old man in white robe pointed at Musab and stood there for a moment, then suddenly fell down.
Musab stepped out of the earthen house and whispered: "Tell the elders in the castle that it was the Tang people who killed Yin Ben, and they sent people to assassinate him."
Seeing that the guard was still hesitant, Musab added: "Go and kill all the people who follow Yin Ben. They have all been bribed by the Tang people and are all accomplices in Yin Ben's death."
A group of guards dispersed, and they helped Musab kill the man.
Jerusalem is very quiet at night.
Many people died here tonight.
A person's head was placed in front of the stage, and Musab stood on the high platform and looked down at the stage, which was a large area of ignorant cannibals.
Musab pointed at these heads and said: "These people were bribed by the Tang people. They killed Yin Ben. We want to avenge Yin Ben!"
The words echoed in the square, and someone shouted, "Revenge!"
"revenge!"
"Kill all the Tang people!"
The shouting became louder and louder. When one person echoed, three or five people joined in. When a third of the people started shouting.
Everyone started shouting hatred for the Tang people. (End of chapter)
