After Li Shimin left, Yang Ying and Ergou also returned to the imperial study, and the bride was also among them.

Yang Ying said to the bride: "Ni Shang, you performed very well today"

"Thank you for the compliment." Nishang replied, it turns out that this bride is Xiao Meiniang's maid, and she is deeply favored by Xiao Meiniang, and Yang Ying wants to play for Li Shimin today to borrow her from Xiao Meiniang.

solved a cover-up, and Yang Ying was in a good mood. After rewarding Xiao Lizi, Ergou, and Nishang with some silver, he said to Ergou: "Ergou, what do you think of this Li Shimin?" ”

"Back to the emperor, his appearance is magnificent, giving people a sense of open-mindedness, deep convincing, and some righteousness, and the eldest grandson Wuji is also very amazing, although he didn't say a word, but he feels that the city is very deep" Ergou thought for a moment before saying.

"Well, don't talk about it, the situation is a little critical now, although the implementation of your plan can delay some time, but it is also necessary to speed up the development of time, you can implement it according to your plan now, if you have any needs, you can find Xiao Lizi"

After speaking, he threw a gold medal to Ergou, and added: "This gold medal is still somewhat useful in Chang'an, but in other places, you can only rely on yourself to play freely, you can start selling wine!" ”

After listening to Yang Ying's words, Ergou cried with joy, knelt on the ground and said, "I will not disappoint the emperor."

"Alright, get up! In the future, you don't need to kneel on the ground at will, you must know that the man has gold under his knees. Ergou, I see that you haven't learned much martial arts, and it's okay to always need someone to protect you, so let Xiao Lizi take you to the royal arsenal to find martial arts cheats suitable for your cultivation, go down"

After the second dog left, Yang Ying said to Xiao Lizi: "Xiao Lizi, how is the blood drop I asked you to train?"

"Back to the emperor, the first batch can be trained in two months, and then there will be a batch every month, each batch has a hundred people, all according to the strict training required by the emperor, these people are orphans who have no father and mother, no one knows their specific identity, in the future they will only be loyal to the emperor and unconditionally obey the emperor's orders."

Listening to Xiao Lizi's words, Yang Ying couldn't help but be a little stunned, not knowing whether it was right to do this.

Xiao Lizi saw the emperor's thoughts, and just whispered: "The emperor doesn't have to feel sorry for these orphans, in this troubled world, it's good to have something to eat, no one can guarantee whether he can survive"

Xiao Lizi comforted Yang Ying and said: "For the blood drops, I will give them special training according to the requirements given by the emperor, let them learn to play different people, learn some assassination techniques, and at the same time find some little eunuchs to practice the Sunflower Treasure Book."

When Yang Ying heard this report that interrupted Xiao Lizi, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Won't he blame him for passing on the ancestor's mastery like this?"

Xiao Lizi smiled and said, "I asked the master, he didn't object, let me rest assured to pass it on."

Yang Ying couldn't help but admire the great master's mind, and he didn't hide his mastery privately.

Then he made some arrangements, "After the implementation of Ergou's plan, Chang'an should be able to calm down for a while, I plan to find some allies, and by the way, improve my martial arts, if I have anything to discuss with Ergou during this time, now I can only rely on a few of you."

Yang Ying thought about it and felt a little inadequate, and added: "If there is anything that can't be decided, let the queen know, and I will contact her from time to time." ”

I heard that the emperor was going out of the palace to walk the rivers and lakes, and said a little nervously: "The emperor has no experience in the rivers and lakes, I'm afraid there is danger, or I will follow the emperor together, as long as I have a breath, I will never let anyone hurt the emperor."

Listening to Xiao Lizi's words, Yang Ying couldn't help but feel a little strange, in fact, there was a question that had always been hidden in Yang Ying's heart, why Xiao Lizi had always been so loyal to him. Although I have always had questions, I didn't ask, I believe he should tell himself and tell him, this is not to suspect people, use people without suspicion!

The next day, Yang Ying arranged some officials to make these rebel leaders kings, and rewarded each king with fifty altars of tribute wine, and then announced that he was going to retreat and cultivate, and if there was something to report, Xiao Lizi would help present it.

After that, he announced his retirement from the court, and the ministers did not dare to ask anything, so they withdrew from the court.

Then he immediately recruited Li Jing, Qin Qiong, and Yuwen Chengdu to ask them to speed up their training, and if they had any needs, they would find Xiao Lizi to respond.

After that, Yang Ying found a sword that sharpened iron like clay, pulled the sword away from the scabbard, and saw a ball of brilliance blooming out, like a hibiscus out of the water, graceful and clear, the carving on the hilt of the sword is like a star running, flashing a deep light, the sword light on the sword body is integrated, like clear water overflowing the pond, calm and soothing, and the sword blade is like a cliff standing thousands of feet, lofty and majestic......

This sword is called Chunjun, and it is a famous sword.

Yang Ying rode south, and the first stop was Dongming faction.

The Dongming faction was not on the mainland, but was built on a small island close to the mainland, which was called the Ryukyus. The Dongming faction makes a living by building weapons, and the weapons they create are of high quality, so these valves, the sect buys weapons from the Dongming faction.

Yang Ying was wearing a white brocade robe, Chunjun was behind him, and he was also carrying a pale yellow bag, and his mount was a pure black horse, which was extremely strong, and at first glance it was either rich or expensive.

Yang Ying was excited, fantasizing about how to save the beauty of heroes, fresh clothes and angry horses, fighting swords in the world, and finally standing in front of the martial arts heroes and shouting: "Who dares to fight", and the heroes knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

However, the truth is always cruel.

After leaving Chang'an, you can always see the fleeing people all the way, dragging their children and daughters, there are groups, there are groups of three or five, at the beginning Yang Ying also gave some silver with kindness, and finally he didn't care.

Seeing the dusk and the sunset, the distant sky silently swelled up with dark clouds as heavy as lead ink, and the birds in the sky returned to their nests one after another.

This is an official road, not very straight, but it is also flat, Yang Ying saw that there was no village in front of the village, there were no shops in the back, it was all woods, and he didn't dare to stay alone in such a place, so he accelerated his pace of progress, trying to find a place to rest.

After galloping five or six kilometers, night fell, and now at the beginning of the month, the moon showed only a new sprout. The insects around are chirping, there are crickets, and there is a little fluorescence not far away.

It wasn't until he saw some flickering firelight in the distance that Yang Ying slowed down.

There were twenty or thirty big men sitting around the fire, a group of dart masters, wearing strong suits with the words Fuwei Dart Bureau, and five dart carts were placed next to the big men.

Except for five or six small servants, the rest of these people are martial artists, three second-rate martial artists, and the rest are third-rate.

Among the three second-rate warriors, one was dressed as a scribe, with a somewhat white face and a sparse beard, the other was a big man who looked a little mighty but had a pockmarked face, and the last one was a little cold, and the whole person was cold.

When Yang Ying dismounted and walked to more than 20 zhang away from the fire, the dart masters picked up their knives and became vigilant, and the mighty man took a few steps forward to see Yang Ying's appearance clearly, and saw Yang Ying's rich son dressed up before waving his hand to the dart master behind him, and then hugged Yang Ying and said: "I don't know what important things this son has."

Yang Ying also hugged his fists in return, "I went out alone, and I saw a fire here after dark, so I plan to rest for one night here with your big brothers, and I hope you don't mind."

The mighty man laughed and said: "As the saying goes, go out and rely on friends, and those who do this to us are even more wandering, and they will rely on the help of the son in the future, how can we mind, we are still afraid that the son will look down on us big old men."

"Then thank you, big brothers," Yang Ying said, tethering the horse to a tree.

After that, Yang Ying walked to the fire and made a simple self-introduction, and these dart masters were also introduced one by one, the mighty man was called Li Zheng, the scribe was called Wang Jin, and the cold man was called Zhang Pei.

Li Zheng is a relatively bold man who talks a lot, while Wang Jin is more cautious, while Zhang Pei doesn't speak except for introducing his name.

Li Zheng has been talking and chatting all night, it seems that the popularity is the best, and he can be called a brother and sister to anyone, and he also gave Yang Ying some wine and meat from time to time, and Yang Ying also shared the pastries with everyone, but only Li Zheng and a few people took it and ate it, and others said that they didn't like to eat.

From Li Zheng's chat, Yang Ying learned that their destination happened to be the same as Yang Ying's, and they both arrived in Yancheng.

Hekou City is located in a city on the edge of the Wei River, and the river transportation is developed, and it is rich in salt.

Hearing that Yang Ying was also going to Yancheng, Wang Jin and Zhang Pei became more cautious about Yang Ying, only Li Zheng wanted to ask Yang Ying to go with them, and Yang Ying felt a little lonely alone, so he readily agreed.

In the early morning, when the sky was bright, Yang Ying and the others woke up and prepared to leave. The farther away from Chang'an, the more remote it will be along the way.

Passing through a jungle, a group of mountain bandits suddenly burst out and surrounded all the dart masters.

The equipment of these bandits is a little poor, about half of the bandits are holding knives in their hands, and if you look closely, you can find some gaps, and the other half are holding some hoes and sticks.

The leader of the bandits was a big man with a black face, his face was covered with dust, his hair was a little gray, his square chin was around the perimeter of his ears, and he had a beard that was half faced, and he stood upright like a hairy brush. He is very strong, he is a second-rate peak martial artist, holding a half-human-high long knife in his hand, and he is wearing no different clothes from other mountain bandits.

Li Zheng did not panic after being surrounded, and said to the black-faced man with his fists: "This big brother, it is convenient to pass through the Guibao Land, and I will definitely have a good reward for the dart game" As he spoke, he took out some silver and put it in a cloth bag, and went towards the black-faced man.

The black-faced man took the cloth bag and swept the silver inside, and said with a smile: "Thank you for letting them pass."

A mountain bandit next to him said a few words to the big man, and the black-faced big man could only say helplessly: "Slow, people can go, but the goods are left"

After listening to the words of the Great Khan, the dart master drew his knife one after another, and seeing the fierce appearance of the dart master, these mountain bandits also trembled one by one, as if it was the first time to rob.

When the black-faced man saw this scene, he couldn't help but blush, as if he couldn't bear to face each other with swords, and said to Li Zheng and them: "If we fight on both sides, we will both suffer heavy losses, it is better for the leaders of the two sides to fight, I will let you go if I lose, if you lose, give me all the money on you, how about"

Then he added: "You can also take the darts you bet."

This idea is exactly what Li Zheng and them want, but it is a question of which of the three of them makes a move, and Zhang Pei, who has the highest skill, is only in the late second-rate period, and he is a short distance behind the black-faced man.

Seeing this, Yang Ying felt that the black-faced man was a general, so he was convinced.

Yang Ying walked up to Li Zheng and said to him: "Brother Li, why don't you let me go" Li Zheng knew that Yang Ying was a first-class martial artist, and there was no problem in cleaning up the big man, so he said: "Then thank you Yang Gongzi"

Yang Ying walked up to the big man and said, "I don't know the name of the hero, Yang Ying has come to teach the high moves" and pulled out the Chunjun sword he was carrying on his back.

Only then did the black-faced man notice that there was a first-class master in the team of dart masters, and he secretly said carelessness in his heart. Then he didn't flinch and said loudly: "My name is Liu Heimin, son, be careful"

Yang Ying is not only stronger in martial arts, but also holds a sword in his hand that sharpens iron like clay, and it only takes three moves to split the long knife of the big man, and the sword is only an inch away from the throat of the big man, as long as Yang Ying uses his strength, he can easily take off the head of the big man.

Dahan was in a cold sweat, but he didn't beg for mercy either. Yang Ying withdrew the sword and inserted it into the scabbard.

"We can get over"

"Thank you for not killing the child," the big man's face turned black and red as he spoke, and then ordered his subordinates to make way for the dart master.

The mountain bandits saw that their eldest brother was defeated by Yang Ying in three moves, and they all gave way one after another.

And Yang Ying hugged his fists at Li Zheng and said: "Brother Li, you go first, thank you for this half-day company, you will definitely get drunk when you meet them in the future."

"Yang Gongzi, I don't know if you need our help" Li Zheng knew that Yang Ying had something to do, and he also knew that his ability was not blocked, "Thank you Yang Gongzi for today's matter, see you in the rivers and lakes in the future"

"If you can use the place below, you can go to the martial arts in Chang'an to find me, and report my name when you arrive," Yang Ying said to a few people.

"Okay, I'll definitely go to find Childe in the future, don't dislike Childe then, hahaha" Li Zheng said and hugged Yang Ying with a fist, and then turned around and left, and the other dart masters also saluted and left.

After the dart master left, Yang Ying walked towards Liu Heimin and said, "I know that Brother Liu doesn't want to be a bandit, can you take me to your cottage to have a look, maybe I can show you a way out."

Liu Heimin hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you, Childe."

Yang Ying then followed the bandits to their lair.
