Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 451 450. Brother Hammer
In history, Li Yuan was indeed named General You Xiaowei by Yang Guang after he defeated Wu Duan'er.

And looking at the magnificent mansion in front of him, under the speechless eyes of the two rows of soldiers, the Taoist priest nodded at the gate just like a taster.

While nodding, he said "um, hiss, not bad, um", and brought out the ignorance of a lower Liba person who came to the city for the first time.

Until the door of the mansion opens.

Seeing the young man named "Li Ji'an" walk out, Li Zhen cupped his hands:

"Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, who is poor and guards the beginning, has met General Li."

Li Shimin was also very polite, with a warm and polite smile on his face:

"Master Shouchu let me wait."

"Pindao has something to delay today, please don't blame General Li."

People are polite, and he is also polite.

In the end, Li Shimin laughed and stepped aside;
"Master, please."

"It's better to be respectful than to be obedient."

When the Taoist entered the mansion, it was just dark.

……

In all honesty, Li Yuan's residence in this house is definitely not grand, but also, perhaps because he doesn't live there often, there is no fireworks in the house.

Although I saw a few servants, there was very little atmosphere of life, and it seemed a bit rigid on the contrary.

Among the lights, there was an unusual solemn majesty under the half-dark sky.

According to the rules, when guests come, they have to go to the main hall first.

But after entering the mansion, Li Shimin said that the wine and food were prepared in the side courtyard.

From what Li Laodao heard, the other party seemed to be looking for him for something, so he lowered his status and invited him to dinner.And if the two of them can have any communication, I'm afraid the only way is to smoke fish.

That's a little strange, didn't Lao Du explain clearly to others before he left?
He was a little bit guilty.

But if he comes, he will be at peace, and he will follow along honestly if he invites you to dinner politely.

Unexpectedly, after coming to the side courtyard, I didn't see the food and drink, but I saw a child who was playing with a big ball in his hand...

It's not appropriate to talk about children, since that's too young to say sixteen or seventeen.

The baby was born with a wide nose and wide mouth, yellow and thin complexion, and looks too shabby... huh?

Suddenly, the Taoist stopped.

You wait first.

no……

Wait a minute.

Wide nose and wide mouth?

Sallow and thin?

Ugly?

It's you!

Wang Bao... Li Yuanba!

"!"

Thinking of this number one hero in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Li Zhen's eyes immediately straightened.

He stared straight at the player playing with the ball, and also looked at himself like... like a child watching some magical animal...

The two of them stared wide-eyed.

"..."

Seeing this, Li Shimin smiled.

He suddenly saluted with both hands, then raised his hand towards his younger brother:

"Daoist Shouchu, this is my third younger brother Yuanba... Actually, it is wrong to say this matter, because when I entered Beijing, my father repeatedly told my brother to keep a low profile when going out, so I deliberately called it by words." .In fact, his surname is Li, his first name is Shimin, and his style name is Ji'an. Please forgive me." (Note 1)

Accident?
Not at all.

The so-called "table characters" are usually named after several kinds.

Juxtaposition, assistance, contradiction, expansion... nothing less than these.

For example, Qu Yuan, Qu Yuan's name is called "Qu Ping", which was originally a character.His characters are juxtaposed, taken from the meaning of "Guangping said: Yuan".

Another example is the contradictory style, Zhu Xi, from Yuan Hui.Xi is dawn, and dark is night.

That's what I mean.

And when he heard the name "Li Ji'an", the first reaction in his head was the juxtaposition of "Ji Shi An Min".Then, after removing the word Ji'an, only "Shimin" remained, so I thought of the other party's identity.

Therefore, even though he knew that this was Li Shimin, he was not too surprised now that he was mentally prepared after the first meeting.

Just hand over:

"So that's how it is. I've seen the two young masters."

Li Shimin bowed his hands politely, and Li Shimin returned the salute.

If this is mentioned in the future, Li Zhen will definitely feel radiant.

but……

Why does Li Yuanba's eyes look like a piece of meat in the poor way?
It seems that something is wrong.

And at the moment when he straightened up, he heard a voice:
"Hey, go on!"

The low voice in the air was fleeting.

Li Zhen looked at the iron ball that was getting closer and closer to him, exuding a dull and heavy color, so naturally he would not naively think that this thing is a piece of paper!
Seeing the iron ball getting closer and closer, a golden light suddenly appeared in front of him!

The golden light curse, which exudes a clear luster like grease, condenses into a giant golden hand, supporting the iron ball.

The moment he held it, Li Zhen sensed signs that the qi that made up the Golden Light Curse was about to be crushed.

Accompanied by the thought, the golden light became more and more solid, at least it caught the iron ball safely.

"..."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows quite unexpectedly.

But he didn't say anything to stop him.

He just stopped the younger brother who was about to throw the second one with his eyes.

Li Yuanba pursed his lips a little bit.

And Li Zhen...

Are you angry?
not at all.

Although the opponent threw an iron ball, if he hadn't had countermeasures, he might have been smashed to pieces.But is it fast?

Not fast.

It is the way of "throwing".

Nothing sinister.

What's more, the speed is not fast. If you can't catch it, ordinary people can react and hide aside, and they can't hit anyone at all.

So, after the iron ball was pinched by the giant hand transformed into the Golden Light Curse, he stepped forward out of curiosity.

"Da da."

With the tapping of the fingers, the iron ball has a hard touch and a very solid sound feedback.

"……solid?"

Looking to the left, he saw a long handle at the end of the iron ball. After learning that it was indeed a hammer, he asked.

Then I saw a mouth of teeth like a wild animal.

Li Yuanba grinned and asked:

"Try?"

"...Doesn't that count?"

Pointing to the golden light holding the copper ball, the Taoist asked.

"squeak~"

Amidst the sound of grinding teeth, the evil ghost shook his head:
"It doesn't count. It has to be strength!"

"Ah this..."

Li Laodao scratched his head, and the golden light curse that was holding the iron ball slowly began to shrink, turning into a tray, and the iron ball was held motionless in the radiant golden light.

The Taoist who came to the front stepped forward, twisted his waist, hugged his hands round, and let out a low voice in his dantian:
"drink!!!"

"..."

Embarrassing things come.

The iron ball remained motionless.

All I saw was the veins on the Taoist's neck were bulging, and his face was blushing.

But no matter what, the ball just couldn't be held.

In terms of purely physical strength, Li Zhen has no advantage.

But looking at the flushed Taoist, Li Shimin's eyes were a little appreciative.

Not to mention, although this Taoist looks a little more slick, but now he can't move Qi, he won't move.

Quite real.

The two iron balls that Yuanba used to play, not to mention ordinary people, even Lian Jiazi struggled to hold them.Even if he wants to pick it up, he has to use Qi to dare to do it... Even if a Taoist priest with thin arms and legs bursts his blood vessels, it is normal for him to be unable to pick it up.

So he said:

"Okay, Yuanba, Daoist Shouchu is a guest, don't play around. Go, put the weapons back, we are ready to eat."

"okay."

Li Yuanba looked at the Taoist who stood up straight and was panting, and curled his lips in disgust.

He stepped forward a few steps, grabbed the handle of the round hammer, and fluffed it like lifting a hollow balloon, flipped his wrist while holding the iron ball, and threw it aside.

"Boom!"

The corner of Li Zhen's mouth twitched as he felt his ground tremble...

Good guy, what did you eat to grow up?

Then, Li Shimin cupped his hands again:

"Daoist, the third brother likes to play around, please don't blame the Taoist."

"General Li was joking."

Looking at the iron ball, the Taoist sighed with emotion:
"I'm ashamed of myself."

"Haha."

Li Shimin was happy and cupped his hands:

"Please."

"Please."

……

The side courtyard should be Li Yuanba's residence, and it's not really messy, it's just full of all kinds of heavy things that look like they could kill people.

Even, in the side hall where the three of Li Zhen ate, there was a stone lion that was brought over from nowhere...

It really opened Li Laodao's eyes.

When the three of them were seated, several servants who acted in a military-like manner began to serve the dishes.

Basically no vegetarian dishes, a bunch of meat.

And there was a cook outside dividing a sheep with a knife.

The mutton is golden in color, and it is the best when you look at the heat.It should have been sprinkled with spices, the smell is outrageous.

In the smell of mutton soaring into the sky, Li Shimin raised his wine glass:
"Master, please."

"Don't dare, please, General Li."

Li Zhen said politely, took a sip of wine that was obviously stronger than Luoyang's, and at the same time muttered something in his heart.

Now... it's time to get down to business, right?

Ignoring Li Yuanba who was gnawing on a pork knuckle, Li Zhen cast an inquiring look at the future Tang Taizong.

You are...it's about time to start, right?
Have you started?It really started.However, Li Shimin's first sentence stopped Li Zhen from asking.

"I don't know which book Chang has studied the most deeply about Taoist classics?"

"..."

Li Zhen really didn't react.

Don't ask fish?
Don't ask "Ugly Empress"?
You called Pindao over... did you ask Pindao to come to your house to do your homework?

Suddenly he was a little speechless, but luckily...

Our old Li just came back from Xiangshan today.

So he said directly:

"I don't dare to talk about research, but Pindao really likes to read "Huang Ting Jing"."

"Oh?"

Li Shimin's eyes brightened:
"I don't know if it's "External Scene" or "Yujing"?"

Yo, the smell of malt.

Expert?
So, Li Laodao, who didn't answer directly, brought out the words he had just heard in the morning:
"Huang Ting, this sutra focuses on emptiness, so 'Huang Ting' is used to mark the ear. Its scenery is also a god..."

The Taoist began to speak eloquently.

Li Shimin was listening very attentively, and seemed to be comparing something while listening.

And Li Yuanba, who was eating a pork knuckle, rolled his eyes with a greasy face.

My new toy... so boring.

(Note 1: Li Shimin’s character seems to have no history at all. Anyway, I didn’t find it, so I took the word “Ji’an” without authorization. The reason is also explained in the habit of ancient people in the text. Ha.)
