335 There are so many pies in the sky (please ask for a monthly pass)
However, Li Dingguo's followers have the responsibility to protect Li Dingguo, so naturally they cannot ignore everything.
They noticed a group of knights galloping over at the first moment, but found that Li Dingguo didn't seem to notice, so they quickly reminded Li Dingguo: "Sir, there are cavalry coming!"
As followers, it was impossible for them to pull Li Dingguo to the side of the road, because they were servants and Li Dingguo was the master. Not to mention, Li Dingguo was the leader of the battlefield, not the frail white-faced scholar.
At the same time, some followers immediately stopped behind Li Dingguo and took the initiative to block the path of the cavalry team to protect their leader.
Li Dingguo was thinking about something. When he heard the attendant talking to him, he was startled and immediately asked subconsciously: "Who is coming?"
They are all used to fighting on the battlefield, and are not used to peaceful life, otherwise, Li Dingguo would definitely avoid it first.
At this moment, the team of cavalry had arrived in front of them. Fortunately, they were not running very fast. When they saw someone blocking the way, they quickly reined in their horses and stopped. At the same time, the knight at the front immediately scolded: "Are you blind?
Why don’t you step aside quickly!”
Hearing the sound, Li Dingguo turned around and looked up, and found a group of people dressed as officers and soldiers. He was suddenly startled. He had come to his senses and knew what kind of situation he was in, so he quickly wanted to move aside.
His identity is too sensitive at this time, so he must not let the officers and soldiers discover his identity, and he will not cause trouble.
But who knows, when he was about to get out of the way, he saw a man in civilian clothes from the corner of his eye. He was polite and looked very familiar.
Just like this, a feeling flashed in his mind, and immediately, a name emerged. Immediately, he looked at the man with an incredible expression.
The gentle man also turned his head to look at Li Dingguo because he was blocking the way.
The two people looked at each other, and then they all looked shocked, and almost exclaimed at the same time.
"Second brother?"
"Third brother?"
What a surprise it is to meet an old friend in a foreign country!
Li Dingguo quickly came to his senses and realized something was wrong, so he quickly lowered his head, turned around and left.
This gentle man was Liu Wenxiu. He also realized what the occasion was. When he saw Li Dingguo turning around and leaving, he woke up and bowed his head in silence.
However, Yuan Zhuangfei, who was beside Liu Wenxiu, heard his exclamation and was a little strange. Did Liu Wenxiu just call him "Second Brother"?
What do you mean, you met an acquaintance in the capital?
How come he has an acquaintance in the capital?
Should all his acquaintances be from the Eight Kings?
Thinking like this, Yuan Zhuangfei immediately felt something was wrong, and immediately looked at Li Dingguo's back and shouted: "Stop!"
Li Dingguo heard it, but pretended not to hear it. He just complained secretly in his heart and quickened his pace.
He was puzzled, how could he meet Liu Wenxiu in the capital? Wasn't he in Wuchang?
When Yuan Zhuangfei saw that Li Dingguo not only did not stop, but also quickened his pace, he immediately realized that there was definitely something wrong with this man.
The reason why he did not immediately think of Zhang Xianzhong's four adopted sons was because he subconsciously felt that this was impossible.
When I went to recruit the fifth left battalion of Ange, I bumped into Liu Wenxiu, which was a miracle. Then when I hurried back to the capital, I met another big fish. Even if it was a pie in the sky, it was not a big fish.
Did it fall like this?
Another thing is that when people in ancient times called "second brother" or something like that, it was not necessarily the second brother among brothers, but there were many people named like that.
But no matter what you think, it doesn't matter now. Stop the person first and you will figure it out naturally.
So Yuan Zhuangfei immediately waved his hand and said: "Stop them!"
After hearing this, his personal guards immediately drove their horses forward and shouted: "Stop!"
Li Dingguo knew something was going to be bad, but this was inside the capital, and even if he ran like crazy, he might not be able to escape. The only way to go now was to act by ear and see if he could escape!
In desperation, he had no choice but to stand still, then turned around and asked innocently: "Is this soldier called a villain?"
Pedestrians nearby saw a group of officers and soldiers stopping a group of people, so they all hid aside and looked at the gossip curiously.
When Yuan Zhuangfei heard this, he immediately became more suspicious.
Because Li Dingguo is dressed like a young master, people like him are basically scholars, with family backgrounds, and they are noble and military. This is engraved in their bones. And this is not in a deserted wilderness, but in the capital.
If you were really a scholar, you would definitely not be so humble. You are both a soldier and a villain.
So, he did not answer Li Dingguo's question, but turned to look at Liu Wenxiu and asked, "Do you know him?"
Liu Wenxiu heard this and immediately said with a smile: "I don't know you!"
When Li Dingguo heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Yuan Zhuangfei immediately asked: "But I just heard you calling him second brother!"
"Did you hear it wrong?" After hearing this, Liu Wenxiu immediately asked, "Do you think I have an acquaintance in the capital?"
He has followed Zhang Xianzhong since he was a child and started to rebel in the Qin Dynasty. He has traveled all over the world, but he has never been to the capital. This is a well-known thing.
Yuan Zhuangfei already had doubts in his heart, how could he explain them away with just one sentence?
Although logically speaking, it is indeed impossible for Liu Wenxiu to meet an acquaintance in the capital.
When Liu Wenxiu saw Yuan Zhuangfei's expression, he explained: "I just looked at this person as a bit like an old friend, but when I took a closer look, I found that he was not, and I realized that I had made a mistake."
Yuan Zhuangfei ignored him, turned to look at Li Dingguo and said, "I think I heard you calling him just now, what did you call?"
"What? Why did you call him?" Li Dingguo started to pretend to be stupid, "The villain just made a noise and was so scared that he was almost hit by Bing Ye's horse!"
When his followers heard this, they all nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, yes, we all heard it clearly, our young master made a ahhh sound."
Yuan Zhuangfei still had doubts and immediately shouted: "Where's Lu Yin? Let's take a look!"
When Li Dingguo heard this, he obediently took out the road guide and handed it to Yuan Zhuangfei by his entourage. Anyway, the content of the road guide was false, but the seal was genuine, and no one in the government would be able to find out.
Yuan Zhuangfei looked at the road guide for a moment, then felt a little embarrassed, then turned to look at the crowd watching the excitement, and immediately shouted: "Anyone who is literate, come over and help read the road guide!"
There is really no way he can do it. He himself and his bodyguards all know it, but they are all illiterate!
When a good person heard this, he immediately came out, helped Yuan Zhuangfei read the road guide, and then read it out.
Yuan Zhuangfei listened. When he heard the name, his expression suddenly became very strange. He looked at Liu Wenxiu and said, "Do you have anything else to explain?"
"..." Liu Wenxiu was speechless. Then she turned to look at Li Dingguo. She really didn't know what to say!
When Li Dingguo saw his expression, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he felt a little unsure!
When Yuan Zhuangfei saw Liu Wenxiu's expression, he knew it was absolutely true. He didn't expect that he would go so far. It would be like a series of pies falling from the sky, or a huge pie for himself!
Surprised, he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha..."
"Alas!" Liu Wenxiu sighed after hearing this and shook his head. You can make up any name you want, but why use this one?
It turned out that Li Dingguo had written the name Li Dingguo on his fake road guide.
Originally, Li Dingguo thought that there were too many people with the same name in the world, so if he changed his surname back to his birth name, not many people in the world would know about it, and it could be considered as a way to comfort his parents, so he subconsciously used Li Dingguo, which no one else would know.
I feel that people in the world will definitely not associate Li Dingguo and Zhang Dingguo together.
After all, if most people use a pseudonym, they will definitely not change their ancestor's surname, but their first name. He is doing the opposite and is very safe.
But looking at this situation now, it seems something is wrong.
Yuan Zhuangfei did not dare to laugh for too long, for fear that extreme happiness would lead to sadness, so he quickly stopped laughing, but with a smile on his face, he said to Li Dingguo: "I don't know why you are in the capital, and I don't know why you are on the road.
With this name, I don’t know why you happened to block our way? I only know that my luck is really great!"
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and said: "It's just right. Please come with me to the Imperial City. His Majesty will be very happy to see you!"
"What? Mr. Bing, did you admit the wrong person?" Li Dingguo was still hoping for a chance and did not admit it.
In fact, he is still a little confused until now.
How could what happened today happen?
When Liu Wenxiu heard Yuan Zhuangfei's words, he immediately remembered that Yuan Zhuangfei had said at the beginning that he and Li Dingguo had been ordered by the emperor to be recruited, and if they could not be recruited, they would be captured alive as much as possible.
In other words, the emperor should have valued the two of them very much. According to Yuan Zhuangfei's private explanation, this may be related to Taizu's apparition.
When Yuan Zhuangfei told this story, He Yilong and others knew that they would definitely become famous, so they changed their minds very quickly!
Thinking like this, he felt a little bit, maybe there was some providence in the dark. Was it God, or Emperor Taizu, or someone else, who had arranged such a thing?
Thinking about this, Liu Wenxiu saw that Li Dingguo still wanted to deny it, so he said helplessly: "Second brother, forget it, this is your life, just admit it!"
"..." When Li Dingguo heard this, he was immediately stunned: Zhang Wenxiu actually confessed?
Yuan Zhuangfei laughed again when he heard Liu Wenxiu admit it.
"Second brother, come with me and wait for the emperor's summons. Something good should happen!" Liu Wenxiu advised Li Dingguo.
Li Dingguo was really confused. What was going on?
Why are you, Zhang Wenxiu, here, why did you go to see the emperor, and why do you conclude that meeting the emperor is a good thing, instead of being tied to the vegetable market and cut into pieces? We are rebels!
