The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 960 Nine 49: The Emperor Xuan Wuji Participated in the Ceremony of Sending the Holy Monk

"Okay then! You three wait for a while, I'll go to my sister-in-law, and let her get rid of all these gangsters.

I don't want these things anymore, otherwise, they will have to be stolen by outsiders. "

Sha Dahe ran out excitedly, and within a short time, he brought a woman in her thirties over, followed by a teenage boy.

"Sister-in-law, our Sha family is already poor, and I have nothing to do all day long, and now our marshal has come to see me at home.

I want to go out and work with him, so that I can have a good future in the future.

All these three gangs and four are left to you. I will have a future in the future, and I will buy it again when I return to my hometown!
I said Sha Maozi, you should be filial to your parents at home.

Uncle, I can't take care of you anymore. "

The woman laughed and said, "I'm talking about the second child! You have to work hard when you go out, and try to make a name for yourself.

Your brother is an honest man, and he has no great promise.

Whether our family can prosper in the future depends on you. You have to save more money outside, and when you return home in the future, you will be able to recruit a wife. "

"Sister-in-law, I will remember what you said.

I must work hard outside and try to earn more money back.

Well!Then I'm leaving. "

Sha Dahe walked into the house and took out his weapon.

Duan Wuji looked at Sha Dahe's weapon, it turned out to be a crescent moon to facilitate chain shoveling.

This weapon is more than one foot long, and it is also made of pure iron. One end is a crescent-shaped weapon, and the other end is a large shovel that is two palms wide.

This weapon is also a very heavy weapon, not much lighter than Zhu Bazi's nine-toothed rake.

The four of them walked out of the village and headed west all the way to Chang'an City.

Duan Wuji was very happy when the task set by the two of them was completed.

The four of them walked westward for twenty or thirty miles, and the sun had already turned westward.

They came to a big town and found an inn to live in.

Sha Dahe murmured in a low voice: "It's been such a long journey, to be honest, I've been hungry for a long time.

Why!I said Marshal Duan, what do we want to eat? "

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "You can eat whatever you want, anyway, I will pay the bill, so you can eat whatever you want!

This cost less than two dollars. "

Zhu Bazi yelled loudly: "First cut me [-] catties of beef, then bring me two jars of good wine, and then bring me a braised yellow chicken, this is enough for me.

I said Monk Sha, what would you like to eat? "

Sha Dahe glared at him fiercely.

"You stupid pig, you are not afraid of being overwhelmed with so many things!

I'm not a foodie like you, I only need eight catties of dumplings. "

"Oh my god, you've been talking about me for a long time, so it turns out that you're also an idiot."

Duan Wuji said to Tieniu: "The two of us can eat dumplings too, and we don't want too much.

About ten catties for each person is enough. "

The four asked for something each, and then I waited slowly.

After eating, the four of them went to rest early.

The next morning, the four of them got up early, bought something to eat, ate, settled the money at the store, and set off early.

The four traveled all the way through mountains and rivers, and after four or five days, the four finally arrived in the capital.

Zhu Bazi and Sha Dahe had never been to the capital, and they were shocked when they saw the bustling scene of the capital.

Zhu Bazi looked at Duan Wuji and asked: "My lord, why is this place so lively?

How happy it would be to stay in this place. "

Sha Dahe gave Zhu Bazi a hard look and said, "Happy? Happy ass!

Neither of us has a penny on us!Can this cheer you up?

You can't buy something delicious when you see it. Why do you think it's so exciting? "

Zhu Bazi scratched his hair after hearing this.

"Well, what you said is true monk, but what can be done about it! Why are you both poor?"

"I said you stupid pig, who do you call a monk?"

"Hey, do the kids in your village call you that?

Brother, I told you what are you afraid of?

You dead elm head, that head doesn't turn at all! "

"I said stupid pig, you have a flexible mind, you can call me uncle if you are flexible, do you think this is good?"

"Fuck you, you won't talk anymore while you're talking.

I'm older than you, but you asked me to call you uncle. I said why do you want to come here, kid?

If you do this again, be careful that I will beat you to death later. "

The two were fighting while walking.

Duan Wuji said to Tieniu: "Brother Tieniu, you see, we have already found this man, why don't we brothers go to the palace to exchange business.

Let's pay the difference, and there will be nothing for us.

As for how to arrange these two people, it depends on what the emperor wants. "

Duan Wuji took out 20 taels of silver from his body.

"I said Zhu Bazi and Sha Dahe, we can know each other, this is also a kind of fate.

How about this!I will give each of you ten taels of silver, and you can spend them in the capital these few days!

Just buy something if you want to eat something, and in another ten or twenty days, you should be on your way. "

The two of them took the money and kept bowing to Duan Wuji.

"Oh! I said, Lord Duan, you gave us both so much money all at once! Thank you both so much."

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Let's go! It's not too late, follow us to the palace!
Let's report the matter of you two to the emperor, let's see how the emperor arranges you two! "

When they came to the outside of the imperial city, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu dismounted and handed over the horse to Zhu Bazi and Sha Dahe.

"You guys rest here for a while, we will enter the imperial city to meet the emperor, you two have to watch the horses for us!"

Zhu Bazi said with a smile: "My lords, you go!

What's the matter with us here guarding the horses! "

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu walked up the Jinshui Bridge, and they went straight to the gate of the imperial city.

It was Duan Wuji and Tieniu who were guarding the palace gate, and they greeted each other from afar.

"My lord, General Duan! Are you two going in to face the saint?"

Tie Niu listened and nodded.

"That's right! We both want to see the emperor!"

"You two wait here for a while! Wait for me to go in and let you know!"

"Well, then you go quickly, we are waiting for you here."

A guard turned and ran to the depths of the palace, and the two had to wait at the door.

Not long after, the guard ran back again.

"Prince Duan, General Duan, the emperor has ordered you to go in and speak.

Two adults, then come with me! "

The two followed the guard into Suzaku Palace, and the guard stood at the gate of the palace.

"My lords, I won't go in, you should go in by yourself."

"Well, that's fine!"

The two walked into the Suzaku office, and saw that Li Shimin was sitting on the Longshu table correcting official documents.

The two knelt down to salute.

"Second brother! We are back."

Li Shimin put down the official document, and said with a smile: "My dear brothers, how many times have I told you that it's not the time for the morning court, what kind of courtesy are you doing!

If you two dare to do this again, don't say that I am impatient for you!

Come, come, take a seat!
Sit down and let's talk together! "

After the two sat down, Li Shimin asked with a smile: "In just a few days, did you find the person who learned the scriptures for me again?"

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Second brother! It is also the prosperity of our Tang Dynasty, and your majesty is so blessed.

Our brothers did not make too much effort to find the person who accompanied the holy monk to the west.

These two people also know some martial arts, and they are two honest people.

Neither of these two people has a family business, and they don't care about family affairs. As long as His Majesty is willing to use them, I think they are good candidates. "

Li Shimin listened and nodded.

"Where are these two people? I'll find out after a while.

I have led the army to fight for many years, and I can tell what is going on with the two of them at a glance.

If it doesn't work, let's assess them both tomorrow. "

Tie Niu laughed when he heard this.

"Second brother, you can do whatever you want with this matter. In my opinion, don't go to the assessment tomorrow for our brother and I, lest some people look at our face and make it difficult to talk!"

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Brother Tieniu, do you want to avoid it? Or do you want to hide at home secretly?"

"Of course we have to avoid it. The two of us have worked so hard outside for so many days, do we still care about this last shiver?"

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Then you can rest at home tomorrow!
Let's go, let's go outside and see the man you found! "

Li Shimin was also tired from work, and wanted to go out to relax.

The three monarchs and ministers walked out of the palace and went straight to the city gate.

Li Shimin saw those two people from a distance.

"I said brother, the people you found are really strange.

That big black man, the one on his shoulders really looks like a rake.

Such weapons are rare. "

Duan Wuji smiled slightly.

"Second brother, you are so smart, let me tell you! That is the rake for hugging the ground.

Just a little bit bigger.

This thing is played by that person, it is also a weapon. "

Duan Wuji shouted loudly at those two people: "Hurry up and come over to me, the emperor has come out to see you."

Two people came to the front and knelt down to salute.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "You two get up quickly!

Let me ask you, what are your names? "

"Your Majesty, my surname is Zhu, and my name is Zhu Bazi."

Zhu Bazi pointed at Sha Dahe.

"His surname is Sha, and his name is Sha Dahe."

Li Shimin listened and nodded.

"Well, you two don't look too bad, hurry up tomorrow! I'm going to test you tomorrow.

Come on!Send the two of them to Ganlu Temple! "

A guard ran over and said to the two with a smile, "You two, just follow me.

Go to Ganlu Temple to enjoy blessings! "

The two bid farewell to the emperor, Duan Wuji, and Tieniu, and followed the guard.

The two war horses were also placed here for them, and Duan Wuji Tieniu bid farewell to Li Shimin and went back to his home as soon as Duan Wuji Tieniu saw that he had finished explaining his affairs.

Tieniu said with a smile: "This trip is really worth it!

Not only did he get back, but I also hooked up with this relative. After returning home, we can finally stay at home for a while. "

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "It's the luck of the two of us! It didn't take much effort, and the two of us managed to find this person back.

It seems that this matter really shouldn't embarrass us brothers! "

The two brothers went straight to the house while chatting gossip.

When Duan Wuji returned to the yard, the servants at home quickly took Duan Wuji's white horse away.

Duan Wuji untied his silver bag and walked straight to the study.

In a short time, Mingzhu Gongzhu came to find him.

"Bosses, you've found him after you've been gone for a few days! That's too fast!"

"It's good to finish things early and clear things up early! Now there's nothing else to do, and I can enjoy a few more days in the middle of the day.

Mingzhu, put away this silver bag, I only spent a total of more than 100 taels of silver this time.

That's enough savings. "

Duan Wuji rested at home for seven or eight days, and there was nothing to do these few days, Duan Wuji finally had enough rest at home.

This morning, Duan Wuji was drinking tea in the room, the gatekeeper came in and reported: "I said the Wang family is thousand years old, the emperor sent someone here, and they are waiting at the gate!"

Duan Wuji stood up abruptly when he heard this.

"Since the emperor sent someone over, I'll go out to receive the reception immediately! See what the emperor wants me to do!"

Duan Wuji walked out of the gate, only to see a royal official standing at the gate!
"Prince Duan, I haven't seen you for a long time, and my mental state is much better!"

Duan Wuji looked at the royal official with a smile and said: "I said my lord, the emperor is looking for me, what's the matter?"

"Prince Duan, the emperor asked me to tell you that the holy monks should go west tomorrow, and the emperor personally led all the civil and military officials to send them out of the city. You have to go for such a grand event!

The emperor has issued an order that all civil and military officials must be present before sunrise tomorrow.

The emperor has already said, no one can do it if they don't go!The emperor has already said that anyone who dares to go late will be fined three months' salary. "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"My lord, don't worry! I'll go there early tomorrow!

I dare not disobey the emperor's order! "

"In this case, I will take my leave for that prince, and let's meet again tomorrow morning!"

As soon as the prince turned around and went back, Duan Wuji saw that he had gone far away, so he turned and went back to the palace.

Princess Pearl came out.

"I said you are the head of the family, what does my brother want to do with you?"

"Oh, tomorrow morning, I'm going to the palace early. The emperor is going to send the holy monk and his disciples out of Beijing. There is going to be a grand ceremony. The three apprentices of the holy monk are all found by me. I must not go." .

That's all, nothing else! "

"Oh! So that's the case. Then you should go to bed early today! Let's not play together tonight, so as not to miss the hour!"
