Soon, all the villagers of Han Village knew that Han Yu was going to become sworn brothers with Old Li.
Since everyone knew that Old Li was a general sent by the imperial court, they all paid special attention and respect to him.
Under Old Han's encouragement, every household took out some of their food and utensils.
Then, he set up a small sacrificial ground in the open space at the village entrance for Han Yu and Old Li to become sworn brothers.
"Old Li, the villagers have helped us prepare. After the sacrifice to the heavens, we will be true brothers. Are you happy?”
"Yes, I'm happy, I'm happy!"
Happy my ass! If this matter was known by all the civil and military officials, who knew how they would remonstrate!
With Han Yu's help, Li Shi Min limped to the village entrance.
Although Han Village wasn't big, all the villagers had gathered here, and it looked like they were in a good position.
What was more, in order to celebrate this great event in the village, Old Han said,
They even specially found a few old people to form a temporary band and stood at the edge of the sacrificial ground to beat gongs and drums. It was very lively.
"Huang Tian is above, Hou Tu is below. Today,"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Li Shi Min was obviously unwilling, but he could only pretend to be happy and become sworn brothers with Han Yu.
咴咴~咴咴~
Just as the ceremony was completed, the neighing of war horses suddenly came from the distance at the village entrance.
Immediately after, war flags flew toward the village entrance, accompanied by a cloud of dust.
Each flag was followed by a different number of cavalry.
Each of them held a spear and carried a steel saber at their waists as they rushed over.
The villagers of Han Village had never seen such a scene before, and they all panicked.
Some of them immediately ran home and closed the doors and windows. Some dragged their families into the woods to hide. There were also some brave ones standing behind Han Yu and Old Li, waiting to see the world.
At this moment, Han Yu's face was also filled with worry, because he was not sure if these soldiers were from the Mo Prefecture or the Imperial Court.
"Old Li, why don't you hide in the forest with them first? You can come out after you're sure it's safe.”Han Yu said to Li Shi Min.
If these were soldiers from Mo Prefecture, Old Li would be in danger. After all, he was a general sent by the imperial court to quell the rebels.
But Han Yu and the others were different. They were just ignorant country bumpkins. Unless they encountered a ruthless person, they would not make things difficult for them.
However, Li Shi Min didn't have any intention of retreating. Instead, he kept looking into the distance until his expression changed from worry to surprise.
"Han Yu, do you know whose army this is?”Li Shi Min pointed into the distance and said to Han Yu," Do you see that? There's a flag embroidered with the words 'Yuchi' and another with the words 'Zhangsun.' Those are the soldiers of the imperial court!”
Han Yu looked in the direction that Old Li was pointing at and indeed saw the two war flags.
In this era of the Great Tang, the soldiers who could simultaneously raise the banners of 'Yuchi' and 'Zhangsun' belonged to the Imperial Court.
However, just as Han Yu's side calmed down slightly, Li Shi Min's side became somewhat anxious again.
What if Yuchi Jingde and Zhangsun Wuji exposed their identities?
Just as Li Shi Min was thinking, the cavalry arrived in the blink of an eye and stopped at the entrance of the village.
Seeing such a scene, the villagers were so scared that they all knelt on the ground. Only Li Shi Min and Han Yu stood still.
Then, under the flag that blotted out the sky, a dark-faced man and a long-bearded fatty squeezed out from the crowd.
Needless to say, it was Yuchi Jingde and Zhangsun Wuji.
When they saw Li Shi Min, the two immediately jumped off their horses.
Before Zhangsun Wuji and Yuchi Jingde could react, Li Shimin stepped forward and bowed to them.""Greetings, Lord Zhangsun and General Yuchi!”
“???”
“???”
Yuchi Jingde was stunned. Then, he looked at Zhangsun Wuji beside him in a daze. What the f * ck was going on?
Zhangsun Wuji knew better than Yuchi Jingde to figure out Li Shimin's thoughts.
In a moment of shock, he immediately understood Li Shiming's intention. He didn't want to expose his identity.
"General Li, you've worked hard!" Zhangsun Wuji went forward to help Li Shimin up and asked," General Li, were you injured?”
Li Shi Min pointed at his right leg and smiled,"It's just a small injury. It's fine now."
While Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wuji were asking each other questions, the dark-faced Yuchi Jingde suddenly looked at Han Yu, who was beside Li Shiming, with some displeasure.
Thus, he walked forward and said angrily, almost sticking to Han Yu's face,"Brat, why aren't you kneeling?”
Li Shi Min didn't know where this guy's anger came from, but he was actually raging in front of him.
Just as he was about to dissuade her, Han Yu slowly opened his mouth and said,
"A man should kneel to the heavens, the earth, and his parents in the middle. Who do you think you are to make me kneel?”
hiss ~
Everyone was dumbfounded.
This was the bravest general of the Great Tang, and he was going to give him no face?
