Hearing the yelling and cursing coming from the city gate, the expressions of the old men crowded in front of the palace gate changed immediately!
However, they are all old men who have lived most of their lives, and they will never be like those hot-blooded young men who raise their fists when they disagree with each other! First ask the person who is coming, and then decide how to deal with him. This is
The best policy.
"Who am I?"
Cheng Yaojin staggered to the entrance of the palace, took off his helmet that was already slung across his body, stared at the old men up and down, and finally said suspiciously: "You don't know me?"
"Know you? Who are you? Why do I know you?" An old man, perhaps angered by Cheng Yaojin's arrogant look, could not help but point at him and retort!
Although this military commander years ago was astonishingly tall, he was not afraid that this guy would get angry and send him home with a fist!
Because at this time, the entire society was very generous to these elderly people, and it was even said that it was tolerant to the point of indulgence!
Sixty ears are smooth!
Once you reach sixty, you can no longer insult them. You have to say something nice so that others will listen to you!
At seventy, follow your heart's desires without breaking the rules!
What it means is that once they reach the threshold of seventy years old, they can really do whatever they want and do whatever they want. Rules and so on can no longer restrict them! Even if they commit a crime, they will not be dragged to see the official!
And these few of them are all around sixty or seventy years old, so they can scold the palace gate guards into silence and not be afraid of the generals walking out of the palace city.
"Oh, you really don't recognize me?"
Cheng Yaojin looked at the fingers in front of him that were about to poke into his nostrils. He was not angry. Instead, he asked cautiously: "You're not lying to me, are you?"
"Lied to you and said I didn't know you?"
Cheng Yaojin's move immediately made several old men feel confused. They glanced at each other, and finally someone said suspiciously: "Is this person Biaozi?"
"Well, I think it looks like it!" The remaining old men nodded pertinently: "Probably he is a trendy boy!"
"But how can Biaozi become a general?"
"I don't think he's necessarily a general. Look at the black armor he's wearing and his bumps. Maybe he's an official who gave his nephew an easy job in the palace!"
"Ah, what Mr. Zheng said makes sense! You see, he looks tall and thick, but he doesn't look very fine at first glance! He must be just a soldier!"
These people whispered to each other and commented on Cheng Yaojin in their hometown dialect. They didn't realize that the strong man in front of them, who could run a horse on his arms and stand on his fists, was turning green!
Cheng Yaojin was originally from Shandong, how could he not hear these old men scolding him for being stupid in Shandong dialect? At first, he was hesitant because he was from the same hometown as these people, but now it was better and he didn't go up to take care of him immediately.
A beating from these people is enough to deserve the affection of fellow countrymen!
"Hey, idiot, where is your general? We have to go to the palace to dissuade him!" Finally, a few old men finished discussing and decided not to get entangled with the guy in front of him who had a brain problem, and wanted to find General Miyagi directly so that he could be released.
They went in to give advice.
"My general?" Cheng Yaojin touched his face, and his livid face suddenly turned into a simple and honest expression. He turned back and pointed at Miyagi and said: "Oh, he's inside. How about I take some of you with me?"
Go in?"
"Can you take us in?" When the old men heard this, they were overjoyed!
They had just been grinding their teeth with the palace gate guard for a long time, but the stubborn one refused to let them go. They didn't expect that the two hundred and fifty in front of them could take them in. It seems that being stupid is not a bad thing!
"Come on, come on, take us there quickly! I have something urgent to do!"
"Oh, okay, then come with me!"
Cheng Yaojin continued to giggle, ignoring the anxious glances from the gate guards at the side, turned around, and walked into the palace first.
"Let's go, let's go!" Several old men flicked their clothes, then glanced at the city gate guards proudly, and followed Cheng Yaojin as they filed in through the tall palace gate!
The Tai Chi Palace occupies an extremely large area! In addition, these old men are now in the outer city. If they want to cross the Xuanwu Gate and enter the inner city, the journey is not too long.
Cheng Yaojin was light on his legs and led several old men to turn left and right. Soon, these elderly men were panting and complaining.
"Oh, my legs are almost broken! It's such a long way, don't you know how to find a way to walk?"
"That's it! That's it! When I went to the county government office, I had to be carried there by a strong woman in colorful clothes..."
"Huhu, I'm so exhausted!"
"Hey? Where did that bitch go just now!"
Just as several old men were walking through a withered garden, suddenly, the old man walking at the front saw a blur in his eyes. The strong man who was leading the way had disappeared without knowing where he was! He was so frightened that he quickly exclaimed.
"You were here just now, why did you disappear in the blink of an eye?"
"Look for it! We don't know the way here either!"
Hearing this man's exclamation, he saw that the person was really gone! Now, several people were anxious and looked around for him, but there were only some dead branches and leaves around, where was Cheng Yaojin's figure?
"It's broken, it's broken! I blame you, why can't I even find a living person!"
"Where did I notice? He was here just now, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye!"
"What should we do now? How about we go back first?"
"Go back? If you want to go back, go back by yourself! We have gone so far, I won't go back!"
"What if we don't go back? We don't know the way!"
"If you don't know the road, why don't you ask someone to ask? I don't believe it. He is the only one in such a big palace. We just need to find someone to lead the way!"
After searching around the garden, Cheng Yaojin was nowhere to be found. The old men suddenly became a little angry. They complained to each other for a while, and finally decided to continue walking forward, hoping to find someone else to lead the way.
Seeing that it was already getting late, several people did not dare to delay and supported each other to move forward.
However, what they didn't know was that along the way, Cheng Yaojin specifically led them to a quiet and secluded place! In addition, after Li Shimin came to power, he drastically reduced the number of palace attendants, so a few of them went a long way further.
I didn't see anyone.
Finally, just when a few people felt that they could no longer hold on and could no longer walk, a vermilion palace appeared in front of them, and in the row of small windows on the wall, there were faint voices.
The first thing I noticed was that the old man here had tears in his eyes. Now his legs were no longer sore and his waist no longer hurt. He rushed towards the palace in one breath!
Behind him, the other people quickly followed, fearing that if they were not careful, they would lose someone else.
