Chapter 152 Don’t Pretend Now, When Will You Wait?
Hundreds of riders blocked the entrance and exit of Mars Bay, and scouts searched around...
The other dozens of cavalry came in following the veterans.
This murderous posture scared everyone in Zhuangzi to the ground.
Jia Ping'an was also stunned, and hurriedly led people out to investigate.
When he saw the drenched veterans, he felt that he had committed a crime. When I saw the cavalry in the rain and fog, I couldn't help being angry.
The servants knelt on the side of the road and howled. Some were running wildly, probably trying to escape, but were immediately beaten back by the cavalry with the back of their swords.
Under the eaves, the girls were trembling, and the old servant's lips were trembling, "We shouldn't be here, we shouldn't be!"
After finding out the identities of those veterans, the old servant dared not say anything, and the girls trembled.
"Sister, he actually knows these old killers."
The older girl nodded and looked at Jia Pingan without comment, and her sister's words came to mind: Sister, this young man has red lips and white teeth, he is better than his brother-in-law!
"Get some drinks." This was Liang Jianfang's first sentence when he dismounted.
This old madman! Su Dingfang shook his head, "Get hot water for a bath."
"You're a bitch!" Liang Jianfang looked at him contemptuously, and then the two began to fight!
Bang bang bang bang bang bang!
Except for Jia Pingan and a few veterans, everyone else was dumbfounded watching the two military leaders fighting.
"Here's hot water." Cheng Zhijie said in a deep voice, "You sent people back to Chang'an to tell you that there is a solution, what solution? If there is, it's easy to say, the old man will lead the horse for you. If not..."
He looked to the side, pointed to a tree with a crooked neck and said, "The old man will hang you on it with his own hands to dry."
hehe!
A group of embryo killers pretended to be banned, with the intention of scaring Master Jia!
Jia Pingan looked guilty, "This matter... I think it's a bit reliable."
ha!
Several veterans killed people like hemp, and seeing him like this, they couldn't help but sneered.
"There are people in Chang'an who bet on you. The bettors are all rich and powerful, and no one is on your side. Those people have strong financial resources, and the bets are as high as tens of thousands. If you win, those dealers will Skinned you!"
What?
Is there such a good thing?
Jia Ping'an regretted it all, "Who is in charge?"
Cheng Zhijie looked at him, "Who else?"
People in a small circle.
MMP!
What a great opportunity this is, if you don’t earn a fortune, you will be devastated!
Jia Pingan had various thoughts in his mind, "How many old men didn't place a bet?"
These old shameless guys, seeing such an opportunity to make money, didn't even bet on Jia Ping'an to lose?
This is really the sun coming out from the west.
Liang Jianfang, who had already finished the fight, scolded: "I only found out about this before I left the city, and it was too late to place a bet."
"The gamble is that you can completely solve the problem of horseshoe wear and tear. Even if you improve it, you will lose. Hey! You must lose. The dealer always pays ten yuan. A pass is a thousand passes!"
There are no fathers and sons in the casino, and the purpose of betting is to win money, not to stand in line.
Improvement is considered a loss, and the dealer who started the game is very cunning and steady. But... who would have thought that such an artifact as a horseshoe could perfectly solve the problem of horseshoe loss?
Even Cheng Zhijie felt a little regretful.
A group of killing gods have fought for most of their lives, robbed and rewarded...the family has so much money, yet they are so greedy.
Thinking of these old killers scaring him earlier... Jia Pingan felt that he should do something.
He said with a sad face: "I just want to be safe. If possible, I will go to Chang'an City first and place bets on behalf of the old men as an apology."
Cheng Zhijie looked at Liang Jianfang...
Several veterans secretly send eyeballs...
This kid seems to have figured out a solution, but it is only an improvement, and it cannot completely solve the problem of horseshoe loss. This is also in line with everyone's perception.
"Pen and ink serve!"
Then a few notes were given to Jia Pingan.
"Send it to the old man's house, or I will kill you!"
In the entire Tang Dynasty, no one dared to lie to these old guys, otherwise they would die miserably.
The few notes were all explanations: let the family quickly get money to place a bet, and the bet on Jia Ping'an will lose.
Liang Jianfang patted Jia Ping'an on the shoulder, "You will be ashamed to see others later, I will send you to Zuo Wuwei, and hang out with the old man from now on, I guarantee that you will be a man again in ten years!"
It was still raining outside, Jia Pingan took the note, got on his horse and ran away. If he didn't run away, he was worried that he would be beaten to death by some crazy old men.
Several veterans were taken to the small yard by Bao Dong.
"What's this?"
"Horseshoe."
"Possibly solved the matter?"
"Joining the army said you can try."
"Then try it."
Chen Lao Er took action himself, and put horseshoes on the horses of several veterans.
Finally...he said sincerely: "That day Jia joined the army and ran on the gravel road for a long time..."
Several veterans looked at each other.
"Try?"
So they got on their horses and ran to Chang'an.
da da da da...
Hundreds of riders followed behind, but the more they ran, the less they could keep up.
Cheng Zhijie felt something was wrong, "Why so fast?"
War horses have horseshoes, just like people put on shoes. At the beginning, they need to adapt. After adapting, the speed...
"Slower ahead, there are gravel."
Su Dingfang in front began to rein in his horse and slow down.
But after the horse rushed up, it started to run wild.
"Call..."
"Slow down!"
The war horse stepped on the gravel, and Cheng Zhijie, who had good eyes, watched Liang Jianfang's war horse in front of him stepping on a piece of gravel, and suddenly...
Everything is understood.
"Stop! Stop!"
Cheng Zhijie stopped everyone, then dismounted, and pulled up one hoof of the horse...
There are also stone chips and dirt on the horseshoe.
But the hooves are intact.
"This..." Su Dingfang's eyes lit up, "That's right, use iron bars to protect the horse's hoof, even if you gallop on the gravel road, it will not damage the horse's hoof, nor will it wear down the horse's hoof, what a mother! Xiao Jia is indeed a genius, Datang ...Old Liang, with this thing on the war horses of the Tang Dynasty, why worry about loss in long-distance raids? Hahahaha!"
Liang Jianfang looked at the hooves of his horse and stomped his feet, "It turns out that this is such a simple truth, no one has thought of it for thousands of years. From now on, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty will be able to move freely."
Cheng Zhijie looked up at the sky, "The former emperor conquered Goryeo, and Goryeo retreated steadily. The situation is good, but the transportation of food and grass is not easy... The most important thing is that the horses are 70% worn out, and they are unable to fight anymore... If there was this thing back then, Goryeo is a cheap dog slave. Forget it? Old man... old man wants to call for a fight!"
Excitement burst into the eyes of several veterans, and they mounted their horses.
Well!
Liang Jianfang suddenly slapped his forehead, "Damn it! Xiao Jia took our note and went home..."
"Little bastard!" Cheng Zhijie also thought of this, "I asked my family to bet five thousand guan. If I lose, I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter the house. That little bastard, knowing that he will win, has lied to us. "
Su Dingfang was dumbfounded, "That kid... thinks that we sealed off Mars Bay and frightened him, so he retaliated? But he probably doesn't dare, just teasing us."
"What if that little **** goes crazy? How dare you bet it?" Cheng Zhijie said calmly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the old man says one thing at home..."
"Yes! The same is true of the old man." Liang Jianfang forced a smile, thinking of the situation he would face after returning home if he lost thousands of rounds, his heart was half cold.
Su Dingfang: "Then what are you waiting for?"
"Go back quickly!"
There was a loud clap of horseshoes, and the shouting and cursing dissipated with the wind.
…
Jia Pingan disguised himself and galloped all the way back to Chang'an City. The first thing he did was to go to the British government and asked Li Jingye to find an excuse to invite Lao Li back home.
"You are back?"
As soon as Li Ji got home, he saw Jia Pingan eating Hoto with his whole body wet, his head was steaming, and he was devouring it like a fugitive. Li Jingye beside him was also eating, and the bowl was bigger than a human head.
"British lord, someone wants to borrow some money."
This baby pill! Li Ji felt cold, "How much?"
"Five thousand guan."
Li Ji didn't hesitate, "Go get it."
What a Xu Maogong!
Jia Pingan wanted to make money, and seeing Li Ji being so forthright, he said, "This matter has been resolved."
Li Ji suddenly stood up, "Really?"
Jia Ping'an felt a little dizzy, and said sincerely: "I won't lie to the British public if I lie to anyone."
"The five thousand guan..." Li Ji was worthy of being a famous general, and he guessed Jia Pingan's intention in an instant.
"A certain person wants to ask someone to place a bet on his behalf."
…
Later, Jia Ping'an went to Cui Jian's house in disguise.
He met Cui Jian's family first, followed the same pattern, and brought Cui Jian back home.
"A certain person has 8,000 coins here, please ask Brother Cui to help you place a bet."
He finally borrowed 8,000 guan from Lao Li, and then he didn't know how much Lao Li would bet, but according to Lao Li's **** behavior, after this battle, those dignitaries who started the game will cry.
Cui Jian was taken aback, "Who wins the bet?"
"Of course it is a certain." Jia Pingan couldn't help but get excited when he thought of the handicap.
"certainly."
Cui Jian stretched out his hand, but Jia Ping'an couldn't dodge it...
Beast!
I really want to chop off your hand!
Jia Pingan was ravaged for several minutes before he escaped.
Cui Jian immediately went to find his wife, "Prepare the money at home and make a bet later... I will bet on Jia Ping'an to win."
The wife is well-educated and reasonable, and she was puzzled when she heard the words, "Does the husband also gamble?"
Cui's rules are strict, Cui Jian said with a smile: "This is a sure win, and I feel uncomfortable if I don't bet."
He hasn't practiced to the point where he can't eat fireworks, so he naturally sees opportunities to make money. And Jia Pingan even dared to bet 8,000 guan, what happened to him betting 1,000 guan?
His wife agreed, and after he left, she sorted out the money at home and asked the steward...
"Jia Ping'an said that he could solve the problem of the horse's hoof wear, and those people set up a gamble..."
After some understanding, Cui Jian's wife sighed: "My husband is loyal. I feel that I have a good relationship with Jia Ping'an, so I bet to vent my anger for him. But this is giving money to those people for nothing. It must not be done. But... so here I am. For some private money, betting a hundred guan is better than nothing, so betting...Jia Ping'an loses."
…
"Ms. Cui bet 8,100 strings, 8,000 strings bet on Jia Pingan to win, and 100 strings bet on Jia Pingan to lose."
Wang Qi rested his chin on one hand and sneered, "This is crazy."
Zhou Xing said with a smile: "Who says it's not! Eight thousand guan is not a small amount, Cui Shi took it out... I feel a little angry."
"In addition, the relatives of the Duke of England bet 13,000 guan, and Jia Ping An won."
Wang Qi narrowed his eyes, "Jia Ping'an and Li Jingye are good friends. It is said that Jia Ping'an has done a good job in rectifying Li Jingye, so Li Ji admires him quite a lot. But Li Ji is not such a foolish person. His relatives paid more than 10,000 yuan. Go... this matter... go and investigate! Hurry up!"
Zhou Xing asked: "Could it be fraudulent?"
Wang Qi shook his head, "I can't say for sure, but Li Ji made a move, and I always feel terrified."
"What about Choi?"
"Cui Shi?" Wang Qi sneered and said, "Then Cui Jian was played in the palm of his hand by someone, and he... is worthy? Hurry up!"
Zhou Xing smiled and said: "Then Cui Jian is a joke, but there is one thing, those veterans have been out of the city for training for two days, and there is no movement."
Wang Qi shook his head, "Don't go inquiring, Cheng Zhijie will endure, Li Ji will endure, but Liang Jianfang and other old thieves, whenever they find someone inquiring about information in the army, they will be beaten to death with a stick first, and if they ask about the history, he will dare to mention it People come to the door to drink and scold..."
Zhou Xing took a breath, "This old thief... isn't afraid of offending people?"
"What do you know?" Wang Qi said indifferently: "Everyone has their own way of life. Cheng Zhijie imitated Li Jing to pretend to be honest, and Li Ji pretended to be gentle. This is their way of life. People like Liang Jianfang pretend to be heroic, He dared to do something while in court, this is for His Majesty to show His Majesty that he is a rough man with no heart, compared to Cheng Zhi who pretends to be honest, who do you think is more comfortable?"
Zhou Xing thought for a while, "Cheng Zhijie was born as a rebel, imitating Li Weigong will only make people laugh, and will only make His Majesty feel that this person is unreliable. And Liang Jianfang pretends to be heroic, just to show His Majesty his own weaknesses, so His Majesty Naturally trust him."
Wang Qi smiled slightly, "You have learned a lot by following XX, so go."
Zhou woke up out of the house and went all the way to Suzaku Street, ready to ask his informant for questioning.
"Get out of the way!"
With a yell from the left, Zhou Xing turned sideways, and saw two horsemen galloping towards them.
The two horses quickly entered the palace, and then they met the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Lu Guogong and others are outside the city, please come out of the city to have a look."
Li Zhi looked up, "What are you looking at?"
The cavalry said: "Look at Datang's iron cavalry!"
Li Zhi suddenly stood up, "Could it be..."
Then the emperor took the prime ministers out of the city.
As soon as he left the city, Li Zhi looked at the open area in front of him and couldn't help praising: "I've been in the palace for a long time, and now I'm going out of the city today, I can't help feeling relieved."
Changsun Wuji was beside him, and said with a smile when he heard the words: "This year, I was a little more anxious. After the first day, His Majesty will use the New Year's title, so naturally he will be much calmer."
Although Li Zhi ascended the throne, the reign name of Zhenguan is still used this year.
The titles of Wang and others are still in accordance with the rules of the prince, and the canonization of the queen will wait until after the Chinese New Year.
This is the rule.
Changsun Wuji is hinting at him: You should be more behaved this year, and you can be a little looser next year.
Li Zhi nodded, "That's Jia Ping'an... Lu Guogong said that he watched the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty outside the city, and I felt that there might be some clues to the loss of the horse's hoof. Who does uncle think Jia Ping'an is?"
Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and Chu Suiliang looked at each other, and said with a smile: "The young man has been unlucky since he was a child, and the veteran has investigated this matter very clearly. But he can be taught by another person, and Li Jingye from the British government has learned something from him. , It is said that the British public is very pleased."
Why do these words sound like a sarcasm?
The stranger that the young man mentioned was probably an unsatisfactory literati, and then taught him some miscellaneous things.
But Li Jingye just followed suit, and Li Ji praised it greatly.
Any ideas here?
Changsun Wuji conspired this matter.
He felt that this was an opportunity for the Shandong elite to gather together those veterans to plan something, and the target might be a small circle.
"Your Majesty must be steady." He added.
I have always been steady.
Li Zhi smiled shyly, and the sense of youth resurfaced.
Changsun Wuji nodded in relief, and winked at Chu Suiliang, implying that the emperor is still looking towards us.
All the way to a military camp.
"I have seen His Majesty."
Cheng Zhijie and others were waiting in the camp gate, but Jia Pingan was just a small shrimp and was pushed aside.
The accompanying Baiqi was headed by Tang Xu, and when they saw Jia Ping'an, they gave him winks.
Jia Pingan put up a finger in front of his eyes, moved it back and forth, his eyes were a little dull.
Cheng Da whispered: "What does this mean? Wishful thinking?"
In addition, Baiqi guessed: "Someone thinks that joining the army is implying that we... it's all over."
"Someone felt like he was accomplishing nothing."
"At a loss..."
Tang Xu turned around and stared, really wanting to drive all these beasts to farm.
The ceremony over there was over, Cheng Zhijie said: "Your Majesty, this matter has already been settled, and please come with the old minister."
This old-timer Cheng, usually pretends to be honest, but at this time he is more powerful than anyone else in grabbing credits!
Liang Jianfang was angry.
Su Dingfang persuaded: "Don't worry."
"Why?"
"Look at Xiao Jia."
Jia Pingan spent a lot of time counting a few pieces of paper there. He felt that these few pieces of paper would definitely be worth a lot of money if they were left to future generations.
Lu Guogong Cheng Zhijie’s bet text, Zuo Wuwei General Liang Jianfang’s bet text...
MMP!
Cheng Zhijie's heart skipped a beat when he saw it, and he was relieved to know that he had been fooled by Jia Ping'an.
If the note is not given to the family, then the loss is out of the question. But this is Jia Pingan's kindness, I dare not think what he thinks, this favor is not determined.
"Xiao Jia..."
Old Cheng beckoned, and when Jia Pingan came over, he introduced: "Your Majesty, the old minister went to Xinfeng this time and tested it, and it really worked. Jia Pingan owes a lot to this."
Old stuff! Talk like you deserve credit!
Liang Jianfang endured these words, feeling aggrieved. According to his nature, he should go up and scold him.
Li Zhi glanced at Jia Pingan and asked, "How did you solve it?"
Jia Pingan felt dizzy, and his eyes were blurred. He glanced at Changsun Wuji, and felt that Uncle Guo really had a big heart, and his shy belly looked like a pregnant woman. I thought... first look at it."
Li Zhi nodded, "That's fine."
Then the monarch and his subjects were arranged to inspect the runway that had just been completed.
"Your Majesty, please see that these gravels were smashed one by one by the soldiers with hammers, and then they had to be pressed into the mud." Liang Jianfang stepped forward to introduce, pushing Cheng Zhijie to the back.
Lao Liang's style is bold, and Li Zhi's expression is obviously much more relaxed.
Jia Pingan took a look at Cheng Zhijie, thinking that it would be good for old Cheng to learn from anyone, but it was wrong to learn from Li Jing.
Li Jing is not only a master of meritorious service, but also his prestige in the army is unmatched, so he needs to pretend to be honest, stay behind closed doors, and show the king that he is harmless.
Old Cheng was a mighty general back then, and won the trust of the late emperor. Before he left, he was asked to take orders to meet Li Zhi. But as soon as the first emperor left, he pretended to be honest. What did Li Zhi think of this?
There is a knot in this matter, probably because there is no heart-to-heart relationship between the old minister and the new emperor.
Jia Pingan thinks that this matter is not impossible to solve, but it depends on the timing. If this matter is resolved, he will have a big rocket at Lao Cheng's place, and he will have another helper in the future...
Tsk tsk!
Beautiful!
Li Zhi looked at the gravel road, frowned and said, "May the horseshoe bear it?"
The emperors of the Tang Dynasty were not idiots who didn't leave the door and didn't go out. They would go hunting, real hunting. So when he saw this gravel road, he felt unreliable.
"Your Majesty will wait and see!" Jia Pingan knew that the time had come to gain favor, and immediately showed a loyal face.
The ensuing test arranged for the military soldiers with excellent equestrian skills, but it was Liang Jianfang who got on the horse last.
"Why did the general put himself in danger?" Li Zhi was unhappy, "Dismount quickly!"
War horses are most likely to stumble on this kind of gravel-paved dirt road. At high speed, the knight on horseback falls, and if he can keep his life, it is like smoke from the ancestral grave.
Liang Jianfang raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look!"
He gave Cheng Zhijie a squinting look, Cheng Zhijie felt hot in his chest, and got on the horse without saying a word, "Come on, today you and I will have a riding competition!"
Liang Jianfang laughed, "How can I be afraid of you?"
The so-called Wen Wu first, Wu Wu second...
Li Zhi felt anxious, "Quickly persuade them to come down."
If you don’t pretend at this moment, when will you wait? Jia Pingan said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Your Majesty."
Everyone was startled and looked at him together.
Liang Jianfang and Cheng Zhijie over there are ready.
Su Dingfang waved his hand violently, and the two horses rushed out.
