Blood was sprinkled on Yang Lian's body, and there was a strong fishy smell, and Emperor Zhou E was dumbfounded, until Yang Lian continued to unload the giant python into eight pieces and put the long knife into the scabbard, and then he reacted.

Zhou Zong was splashed with some blood on his body, and the smell was particularly unpleasant, but he could still calm down, and after seeing Yang Lian cut the giant python into several pieces, he slowly spoke, and said, "Don't think that because you saved me, I will change my opinion of you." ”

"Zhou Jiedu is too worried, this commander only saw a giant python committing murder, so he stepped forward, even if that person is an enemy, he will not change his heart." Yang Lian said lightly.

Zhou Zong was angry for a while when he heard this, this Yang Lian is really eloquent.

Yang Lian was covered in blood, standing there, majestic like a god of war. At least in Emperor Zhou E's heart, seeing his father and Yang Lian arguing, Emperor Zhou E pulled Zhou Zong's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Dad." ”

Zhou Zong thought that his daughter was scared, and said in a low voice: "The giant python has been beheaded, don't be afraid." As he spoke, he looked at Yang Lian again and said, "I, Zhou Zong, have never owed favors, this time you saved our father and daughter, say it, I can promise you whatever you want, there is no lie." ”

Yang Lian raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Zhou Jiedu makes this true? ”

"Naturally, it's serious, as long as I take it out." Zhou Zong looked proud, as if there was nothing in the world that he couldn't take out.

Yang Lian squinted his eyes, with a hint of sneer, raised his arm, pointed at Emperor Zhou E, and said: "Since ancient times, beauties have been matched with heroes, and Emperor E has the posture of captivating the country and the city, how about you marry me?" ”

"Huh?" When Emperor Zhou E heard this, he was taken aback, what does Yang Lian mean by this? Is he interested in himself? Immediately, a heart jumped and jumped. I was ashamed and shocked in my heart, how could this person mention this matter in front of his father in front of him?

Time seemed to freeze, Zhou Zong was also stunned, glanced at Yang Lian with slender eyes, flicked his sleeves dissatisfiedly, and said: "Although Emperor E is not talented, she will not marry her to you, don't be delusional." ”

"Daddy." Zhou Ehuang said, with mixed emotions in her heart, she glanced at Yang Lian, afraid that he would be angry, but she found that Yang Lian, who was bathed in blood, suddenly laughed.

"Haha." Yang Lian laughed a few times, looked at Zhou Zong, and was full of jokes: "Zhou Jiedu envoy, who said just now that you would agree to me no matter what you asked?" Moreover, you also swear that as long as you take it, you can afford it. ”

Zhou Zong gasped, he didn't think about it just now, thinking that Yang Lian wanted either power or gold and silver. Now that Yang Lian is already an official from the fifth grade, in comparison, promotion is not too attractive, and Zhou Zong is not so capable, so what Yang Lian wants must be gold and silver treasures.

But Yang Lian's request made Zhou Zong unguardable, this kid actually dared to beat his daughter's idea? It's really unbearable!

Zhou Zong's face changed greatly, and he was about to scold Yang Lian, but he found that the smile on Yang Lian's face was even stronger.

"If you can't do everything, it's better not to promise. Otherwise, it will only increase the laughing stock! Besides, do you think everyone wants something to do? Yang Lian said lightly, turned around and walked away, his body was too dirty, he always had to wash it.

Zhou Zong's mouth squirmed, he wanted to say something but didn't say anything, suddenly he felt a taste in his mouth, remembered that it was snake blood, and suddenly his face changed, he snorted a few times, and spit out.

Emperor Zhou E looked at Yang Lian's departing back, his face was a little complicated, this person Yunwen Yunwu, although his appearance was flawed, it was enough to make up for it.

After Yang Lian left, he felt that the evil spirit in his heart had decreased slightly, Zhou Zong really looked down on people, but such a person was too lazy to care about him. Back in the barracks, Lin Renzhao couldn't help but be startled when he saw that he was covered in blood, Yang Lian only said that he had killed a giant python on the road, and he was silent about the conflict with Zhou Zong.

Lin Renzhao's eyes were blazing, Yang Lian slashed the snake, could it be that there was any indication that it would not happen?

Yang Lian boiled hot water, washed his body, washed his clothes, changed his clothes, and went out on patrol.

On the side of Xuanwu Lake, there is actually a giant python appearing, I am afraid that this side is also very dangerous, although the Shenwu Army is not protecting the royal family, but there are also many dignitaries here, among which Song Qiqiu, Han Xizai, Sun Sheng, and Zhou Zong, who has just clashed, all live here, no matter what conflicts have been, they are all important ministers of the court, and there is no room for loss. This is also Yang Lian's responsibility, and he will never waste his private interests for public reasons.

The Shenwu Army's garrison was located on the west side of the entire garrison, a little closer to Xuanwu Lake. Yang Lian inspected and felt that the garrison was not very well guarded, although there would be no enemies in Jinling, but the giant python explained that it was still very dangerous in this vicinity, and it was necessary to be careful.

Yang Lian called the head of the capital over and asked them to take the soldiers and rebuild the camp. Only when it is strictly demanded in peacetime, can there be no panic in wartime. Yang Lian's requirements have always been very strict.

Several leaders led the order and got busy with the soldiers, and Yang Lian also went to help, and finally repaired it before sunset. However, Yang Lian is not satisfied and plans to strengthen it tomorrow. Early in the morning of the second day, the sun was shining, and the prince of the royal family and the ministers of the court accompanied Li Jing, the son of heaven, to inspect Zhongshan Mountain. Yang Lian is just an official from the fifth grade, and he does not have this qualification, so he took soldiers and horses to cut down trees, strengthen the camp, and placed horses, antlers and other things outside the camp.

It was almost noon, Yang Lian led the troops to complete the construction of the camp, looking at the impregnable camp, Yang Lian had a sense of satisfaction in his heart, in the future, he led the troops, fought on the battlefield, and camped in the wild, the camp is the first line of defense, how can it not be firm?

The soldiers under the command of Yang Lian were busy, but other subordinates were watching the show, Zhou Hongzuo also slowly paced over, and when he saw Yang Lian busy, he couldn't help but sneer, this guy, his luck is excellent, and he will have a few more good luck in the future.

Yang Lian looked at his subordinates lined up, but he was quite satisfied. Yang Lian introduced the mode of standing in the military posture, and in Yang Lian's view, the most important thing in standing in the military posture is to emphasize military discipline. After saying a few words loudly, Yang Lian asked everyone to report the number, first to report the number of people to the capital head of Yu Hou, and then to summarize and report to Yang Lian. There was no shortage of anyone in each team, so Yang Lian asked everyone to go to dinner and take a lunch break. The soldiers shouted in unison and dispersed.

Just stationed in Zhongshan, Li Jing was not busy with spring hunting, but took Li Jingsui, Li Jingda, Li Hongji and others around the city. Usually live in the deep palace, although there are mountains and rivers, but most of them are man-made, where is the wonder of nature? Zhongshan is vast, stretching for more than 60 miles, and Li Jing finally came out, so he naturally wanted to see enough.

At noon, he happened to walk to Yang Lian's barracks, and when he heard the shout, Li Jing was frightened, and almost thought that someone was going to rebel. When he came back to his senses, he saw that Yang Lian's barracks were thick, and there were horses and antlers outside the camp, so he was curious, pointed ahead, and said, "Whose camp is this?" ”

Li Hongji hurriedly said: "Erchen go and take a look." With Li Hongji's vision, it is natural to see that the generals of this battalion are very rigorous. It's just that he thinks it's a little strange, when did there be such a talent in the army? With the intention of wooing in his heart, Li Hongji volunteered to find out.

Walking not far in front of Yang Lian's military camp, Li Hongji shouted: "Who are you waiting for the commander?" Tell him to come out and meet him. ”

The soldiers guarding the camp didn't know Li Hongji, and when they saw that he was dressed as a military general, they naturally disdained him. Li Hongji shouted twice, and a soldier sneered, opened his bow and arrows, aimed the arrows at him, and shouted: "Who is shouting here, and if you are disobedient, shoot you two arrows." ”

Li Hongji was furious and was about to speak, when the soldiers in the camp shot an arrow, and the arrow feather fell in front of Li Hongji's three steps, Li Hongji's angry face turned crimson, and said: "This father is Li Hongji, you dare to be rude?" ”

The soldier's face turned blue with fright, who in Jinling City, Li Hongji's name, didn't know? He is the eldest son of the Son of Heaven, although His Majesty has not yet set up a prince, but in the future, Dongping Gong is likely to become the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Hongji sneered, and said, "Why don't you quickly let the commander come to see this king?" ”

When the soldier heard this, he was relieved, and hurriedly stood up and went to find Yang Lian.

Yang Lian was pacing in the tent, holding a copy of "The Art of War" in his hand and reading it with relish, when the soldier hurriedly barged in and stammered: "Commander Yang, Dongping Gong is here." ”

"What is he doing here?" Yang Lian asked, he didn't have a good impression of Li Hongji.

"My subordinates don't know." The soldier replied.

Yang Lian put away the book, thought about it, and said, "Let's go, go and have a look." ”

Li Hongji looked proud, and when he saw that others were afraid of him, he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. After waiting for a while, Li Hongji saw a person wearing armor appear on the sentry tower, and couldn't help but look at it. It doesn't matter if you look at this, Li Hongji feels that this person is very familiar.

"Who are you?" Li Hongji asked loudly.

"Yang Lian, the commander of the Shenwu Army, has seen Dongping Gong, but he doesn't know what happened to Dongping Gong?" Yang Lian spoke lightly.

Li Hongji's body was shocked, it turned out to be Yang Lian, the person who was good friends with Li Jingsui, the king of Qi. Li Hongji understands the cause and effect of Yang Lian's promotion very clearly, but he thinks that Yang Lian is lucky, after all, he was born in a reckless background, where does he have the ability to lead soldiers? However, at present, Yang Lian's camp has a rigorous layout, which is different from others, which gives Li Hongji a sense of crisis.

This person must not be allowed to take refuge in King Qi, otherwise he will be a difficult opponent in the future. Li Hongji thought in his heart and said, "It turned out to be Commander Yang, why don't you quickly open the camp gate and let my father in?" ”

"Open the camp gates? Dongping Gong has business to discuss? Or is there an edict from His Majesty? Yang Lian said lightly, and squeezed Li Hongji with his words, because Yang Lian was sure that Li Hongji didn't know that this military camp was his station, otherwise he wouldn't have asked like this. In other words, Li Hongji came by mistake and had no official business at all.

Li Hongji was stunned for a moment and said, "Yang Lian, Your Majesty is not far away, why don't you go to see each other?" ”

Yang Lian sneered and said, "Dongping Gong, you are going to come in in a while, and you want the official to go out to see Your Majesty in a while, which one should I believe?" ”
