Chapter 1 One Tiger and Two Dragons
Time, Sui Dynasty.
Location, Yangzhou.
For the world, Yang Guang may not be a good emperor. But for future generations, some of Yang Guang's actions are indeed in line with the name of the faint king, but his actions are not all failures that have brought disaster to the country and the people, and there are also some merits that have benefited future generations.
Since Yang Guang was the emperor, the Sui Dynasty unified the south with the north, and ordered people to dig canals to connect the north and south, which had practical needs both militarily and economically. But he built a lot of buildings, built a palace, and planted willows all over the river, which was a matter of labor and money.
Because of Yang Guang's great achievements, many expeditions outside the territory, and poverty and luxury, Guang built palaces and courtyards, went out to patrol the hardships, and indiscriminately levied harsh taxes, which made the people miserable, and even thieves rose everywhere. By this time, the Sui Chamber no longer had the grand occasion of the restoration of the country.
In the darkness before dawn, Yangzhou City, which was set up as Jiangdu County by the Sui Dynasty, stands in the upper reaches of the river, and the riverside wharf outside the city is full of large and small ships, lit with lights, and there is an indescribable taste of desolation in the bustle!
At this time, in Yangzhou City, in a secluded and dilapidated courtyard, in a small dilapidated house that was running on all sides, there were three good men like dead dogs snoreing on a wooden bed covered with broken straw mats.
The outermost of them was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy who muttered, "My name is Haihu, and I am from another world!" Hehe, I want to dominate the world and be the emperor, I want seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courts, hehe?? "It seems that this kid's dream is really not ordinary wishful thinking.
And the one named Xu Ziling in the middle is similar in age to the sea tiger who is dreaming, and when he heard someone talking in his ear and smirked, he touched his nose and muttered: "Master, emperor, don't dream, sleep!" Hearing this, Kou Zhong, who was in the innermost room, closed his eyes and smirked: "Giggle Haishao, don't talk in dreams, you are the emperor and my General Kou Da admitted, Xu Daxiangguo also admitted, but no one will admit it when you get out of this room, go to sleep, there will be life tomorrow morning!" Otherwise, Boss Yan smashed his fist down, and he didn't recognize you as the emperor. ”
"Bullshit, Boss Yan is a fart, I want to destroy his nine clans and copy his door."
Haihu muttered again, but Xu Ziling said with his arm: "Sleep!" After speaking, he snored loudly again, turned over and hugged Kou Zhong and fell asleep.
Although the two of them slept to death, the sea tiger was in the outermost periphery, and Xu Ziling used his arm to push him, and suddenly his body lying on the edge of the bed lost his balance and fell out of bed with a thud.
It's not enough to squeeze three people on one bed, so the three of them take turns sleeping on the outermost part every day, and almost no one has to go through this kind of thing that falls in the middle of the night many times.
A soft snort sounded, Haihu touched his head and stood up, looked at the two dead dogs on the bed, sighed inexplicably, and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
Although this small dilapidated house is simple and dilapidated, it can carry their two dragons and one tiger in Yangzhou, looking at the barren grass in the garden, the sea tiger sits on the edge of the door and rubs his eyes, so as to make himself more sober.
The three of them are gangsters in Yangzhou, known as a tiger and two dragons, and are famous for petty theft. Among them, the parents of the sea tiger are coastal fishermen, but once they went to sea and never came back, but there were bandits nearby, and they broke into the fishing village to kill people and rob women when they saw them, and the sea tiger escaped by hiding in the corpse. As for Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, their parents and family members were killed by thieves during the war and became orphans without a father or mother.
These three people came to Yangzhou by chance, and happened to meet together in such a small broken courtyard, because they were like-minded with each other, and they depended on each other for their lives, and their love was more than brothers. The eldest of them, Kou Zhong, is seventeen years old this year, while Xu Ziling and Haihu have just turned sixteen.
Looking at the dim dense clouds in the sky, a sense of oppression that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was all over the building made Haihu feel breathless, and this sense of oppression in his heart had been accumulated for six years. Since his parents were shipwrecked at a young age, the fishing village was ransacked by bandits, and he fled all the way to Yangzhou to meet Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, this sense of oppression has accumulated in his heart.
Who would have thought that a lightning and thunderous lightning accident created a good young soul in the 21st century to penetrate into the world of the Legend of the Tang Dynasty Double Dragon, and also let him meet the two protagonists in the future from an early age, forming a three-person team of one tiger and two dragons, which is to increase the rhythm of dungeon fighting monsters under the difficulty!
Haihu laughed silently, since he knew that this was there, he had been planning the idea of longevity in his heart, although that thing was difficult to practice, but didn't Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling practice it later? He is a sea tiger and does not lack arms or legs, can't he build himself? Thinking of this, the scenes of his childhood come to mind, including the love of his parents, the grief of his parents when they left, the ruthlessness of the bandits when they ransacked the fishing village, and his tenacity to hide in the corpse to survive, and the hardships of traveling several times to almost starve to death before coming to Yangzhou, and even in order to survive these years, they have endured all kinds of humiliation, persecution and beatings almost every day to survive to this day.
Every time I think of the hideous memories of the near death, it makes the sea tiger's heart feel a piercing pain as if it was being grilled on a fire. However, the root cause of all this is that they have no power, and this world is a world where the weak eat the strong and respect the force, and without strength, they are no different from the people.
What's more, chaos is coming, and time is running out!!
In fact, Haihu is not the only one who has this kind of thought, but also Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who have lived with him for six years, have this kind of thought. And Kou Zhong's mind is heavier, and the novel idea is also stronger, almost every day he pulls them to eavesdrop on the lectures and teachings of an old talent in Yangzhou, "Old Master Bai", and then go to the big tree next to the martial arts training ground of Yangzhou's No. 1 master "Shi Long" to peek and steal kung fu. And often tell them that virtue and talent are cultivated, and they will definitely get ahead in the future, and if they return to Yangzhou to become a state official at that time, it will be difficult for the boss who bullied them at that time.
It's just that Kou Zhong said that he was going to join the rebels and the like. And when Haihu said that the four gate valves can also be selected today, Xu Ziling objected, saying that the reason why the world is so chaotic is that the faint monarch is wrong, but those gate valves are also inseparable.
For this point of view, Haihu agrees, and in this world, the four most powerful valves in the world are Song Valve, Yuwen Valve, Dugu Valve and Li Valve.
First of all, the Song valve, as early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties have ruled Lingnan, after the unification of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian had sent a large army of 100,000 to conquer, but was the Song lord Song Que with 10,000 to fight 100,000, the result of the Sui army defeated in vain, so the adoption of the Zhao'an policy, Song Que as the Duke of the country, but Song Que accepted Zhao'an but never went to the court to meet.
Up to now, the four major gate valves and the rebel armies in various places have become independent one after another, and only the Song valve is far away from the Central Plains and Song Que has always disliked to participate in the gate valve struggle, so he can stay out of the matter. As for the economic aspect, because Song Que is both a businessman and a martial arts master, he is known as the Heavenly Sword Song Que, who controls the salt road of the world, so he can be self-sufficient.
The Yuwen family is most famous for the lord Yuwen Injury, and its martial arts are as famous as the Heavenly Sword Song Que, and below them are the four masters in the family, including Yu Wenhua, Yuwen Zhihe, Yuwen Chengdu and Yuwen Invincible, and among these four people, Yu Wenhua and the most Jianghu people are known as the head of the Sui Yang Emperor's guards, and it is said that he is the only one after Yuwen Injury, the first to practice the family secret skill "Bing Xuanjin".
Although Dugu Feng's Dugu Peak is the commander of Yang Guang's Praetorian Guard, and the Imperial Forest Army is mostly strong in martial arts, but the Imperial Forest Army is outnumbered, and it has always been suppressed by the Imperial Dynasty Shangshu in Luoyang, coupled with the Yuwen Valve's exclusion everywhere, it is really a very angry valve.
Although the remaining Taiyuan Li valve was placed outside, the emperor was far away, and the owner Li Yuan had a good name in his early years and was a handsome son. But now Yang Guang doesn't trust Li Valve, so his temperament has become timid and fearful. But although Li Yuan is like this, the brothers in his family are all good, and Li Yuan's children are also dragons and phoenixes among people, especially the second son Li Shimin, in the early years, there were Taoists who gave him orders, saying that this child will be a person who will help the world and the people in the future.
For those gate valves, the sea tiger is naturally no stranger, especially the Yuwen valve, in the original work, it is Yu Wenhua and went south to Yangzhou to kill Shi Long to snatch the Taoist secret book "longevity" in his hands, as a result, Shi Long was seriously injured and escaped, and handed over the longevity to his best friend, Tian Wen, a Confucian master who is good at poetry in Yangzhou, and later Tian Wen wanted to escape from the city but was treated as a fat sheep by Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, cut his coat pocket and took the longevity formula, and after escaping from Yangzhou, he met the Rakshasa woman Fu Junwu.
The two and Fu Junwu were chased and killed by Yu Wenhua and all the way, which led to the birth of Shuanglong and set foot on the dangerous and unpredictable rivers and lakes.
Thinking of the sad Confucian Tianwen, Haihu smiled coldly in his heart, that unlucky guy didn't know half a point of martial arts. I believe that when Yu Wenhua went to fight Shilong, he went to Tian Wen's house, with his experience in Yangzhou over the years, a scholar would never be able to turn his palm.
Thinking of this, the sea tiger couldn't help but cover a dagger on his waist with his hand, and his eyes showed a fierce light like a tiger shark, as if this Yangzhou was the sea, and his tiger shark had aimed at the prey and was about to attack at any time.
What's more, in order to obtain the secret of longevity, Haihu had already taken advantage of the night to go to Tian's house and step on it, and found a hiding place for only one person in the rockery in his garden, because it was close to a well in the backyard of Tian's house. In the original book, Shi Long came to Tian Wen's house after escaping from the martial arts, handed him the secret of longevity, and explained that he could not let the tyrant get it no matter what, and then died.
And Tian Wen was worried that Yu Wenhua would be tracked here, because he was alone and had no family, so he sent away all the servants, threw Shilong's body into the well, and wanted to sneak out of Yangzhou in the morning with the longevity formula, but he didn't expect to let Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling be slaughtered as fat sheep. And when Tian Wen met Yu Wenhua and his subordinates, he was paralyzed to the ground in fright, and he didn't even have the strength to resist, which shows how vulnerable such a great Confucian and powerless contemporary scholar is.
Of course, this was Haihu's judgment when he knew that Tian Wen didn't know martial arts. In fact, the scholars in the Datang world, especially those with some famous names, are not weak in martial arts.
