Chapter 15: Conflict
It was Yang Lian who did not dismount, I saw him holding the reins with one hand, and raising the other hand slightly, and he was bowing towards Liu Zhiyuan, the son of the Han Dynasty.
Gao Huaide saw Yang Lian at a glance and shouted: "Who are you, dare to be so rude!" ”
Yang Lian rode on the war horse, squinting his eyes and looking at the young Gao Huaide, the war horse was frightened by Gao Huaide, pacing in place uneasily, Yang Lian grabbed the reins and comforted the war horse.
Liu Zhiyuan looked up and looked at Yang Lian with the same curiosity, could this person be the envoy of the Tang people? In this way, this person is very bold, when Liu Zhiyuan was thinking in his heart, Yang Lian spoke loudly again.
"Yang Lian, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, has seen the emperor of the Han Dynasty." Yang Lian saluted again.
Gao Huaide was furious, he didn't care if you were the envoy of the Tang Dynasty or the Khitan, in front of the Son of Heaven, how could this person be so arrogant? Gao Huaide stepped forward and shouted, "You are just a little messenger, dare to be so rude!" ”
Liu Zhiyuan originally wanted to stop Gao Huaide, but he suddenly changed his mind when he said it, he wanted to see this Yang Lian, how to deal with it? In this way, there is also a bottom in the heart.
Yang Lian looked at Gao Huaide lightly and asked disdainfully, "Who are you?" ”
"This general Gao Huaide is the head of the forbidden army." Gao Huaide replied.
"Gao Dutou?" Yang Lian smiled faintly, glanced around, and sneered: "Could it be that there is no one in the Han Kingdom, and one needs to speak out?" ”
Gao Huaide shouted, turned his horse forward, pulled out the silver spear sharply, and ran towards it.
The incident happened suddenly, no one thought that Gao Huaide would suddenly attack, and the crown prince Liu Chengxun exclaimed in surprise and said, "No! ”
Almost at the same time, Liu Zhiyuan and Gao Xingzhou both shouted in unison and said, "No! ”
Although Yang Lian is rude, he is the messenger of the Tang Dynasty after all, how can he be easily punished? If he dies at the hands of Gao Huaide. If the war starts at this time, it will be a strategic conflict with the Han Dynasty that needs to recuperate, so no one wants Yang Lian to have an accident.
Yang Lian looked coldly at Gao Huaide, who was rushing over, and didn't dare to be careless. Gao Huaide's grandfather, Gao Xingzhou's father Gao Si is called "White Horse Silver Gun", which is the first gun in the Northern Dynasty and is very famous. This Gao Huaide though young. But to be able to serve as the general of the forbidden army in front of Liu Zhiyuan, he must have his ability.
Yang Lian didn't dodge or dodge, his eyes were fierce, and he stabbed Gao Huaide directly. Gao Huaide didn't care, the silver spear was like the wind, and just as he was about to approach Yang Lian, the silver spear flashed a little cold light and stabbed at Yang Lian.
"Humph!" Yang Lian snorted coldly and suddenly raised his hand. The leather whip in his hand swung out violently and wrapped around Gao Huaide's silver spear.
Gao Huaide thought to himself, even if your leather whip is tough, what can it do? The speed of the silver spear did not decrease, and it stabbed Yang Lian in the face.
Although Yang Lian's leather whip has little effect. But it affected the speed of Gao Huaide's silver spear, and between the lightning and flint, Yang Lian's head was deflected and he dodged the spear. Gao Huaide misses a blow. Naturally, he wanted to grab and stab again, but at this moment, Yang Lian quickly stretched out his hand. Grabbed the barrel of the gun and held on.
Gao Huaide pulled back suddenly, but did not pull, Yang Lian's strength was very strong, he was about to fight hard, Yang Lian snorted coldly, and the leather whip was swung out again, throwing it towards Gao Huaide's palm. The leather whip seemed to be more than ten inches out of thin air, and Gao Huaide was shocked in his heart, if he didn't let go, his arm would inevitably be hit; If he let go, this silver spear will fall into Yang Lian's hands, and in just one round, the silver spear will be taken away by Yang Lian, wouldn't Gao Huaide lose face?
For a short moment, Gao Huaide hesitated, but the leather whip would not wait, and under Yang Lian's violent twitching, the leather whip slapped Gao Huaide's arm, making a crisp sound.
Although Gao Huaide was wearing armor and was not in pain, this was a loss of face for him, and even Gao Xingzhou's face behind him changed a little, and he naturally knew what his son's skills were. Gao Xingzhou gave birth to this son at the age of forty, naturally he held it in the palm of his hand, and taught him to practice martial arts with extra care, although Gao Huaide was only twenty-one years old, he had already obtained the essence of the Gao family's marksmanship, and he was a few points more powerful than when he was young, but he didn't expect that it was just a round, and the silver spear in the hand of his son was actually taken away?
"Let go!" Yang Lian shouted again, and the leather whip in his hand was swung out again, this time hitting Gao Huaide's face.
Gao Huaide was shocked and angry, but he refused to give up, stretched out his hand, and wanted to grab the leather whip that Yang Lian swung, anyway, he had already been beaten once, if he caught his leather whip, there was still a chance to win back a game. Gao Huaide thought well, but Yang Lian's leather whip was in the air, and he suddenly changed direction and swung towards Gao Huaide's white horse neck.
This time it was fast and urgent, Gao Huaide couldn't react anymore, the white horse was whipped, and his neck suddenly turned red. After all, the white horse was a beast, and after eating Yang Lian's whip, he was so shocked that his front hooves were raised, and he ran forward with a sound of gray law.
Gao Huaide was caught off guard, fell off the war horse, and the silver spear also fell into Yang Lian's hands, and when Gao Huaide got up from the ground and found that the white horse was running away and the silver spear also fell into Yang Lian's hands, Gao Huaide couldn't help but blush.
Liu Zhiyuan and Gao Xingzhou also stopped, and things were developing too fast, so that the two of them couldn't react.
Yang Lian grabbed the silver gun, looked at it carefully for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's really a good gun!" As he spoke, he clenched the silver gun with both hands, looking like he liked it very much.
Gao Huaide's face turned red, he gritted his teeth and stood on the ground, not knowing what to do for a while.
"It's just a pity that I can't use a gun." Yang Lian sighed, threw the silver spear to Gao Huaide, and said, "Take the gun!" ”
Gao Huaide instinctively took the silver spear, with an expression suddenly in a dream, Liu Zhiyuan ran over at this time, squinting his eyes and looking at Yang Lian.
"The envoy of the Tang Dynasty is really skilled." Liu Zhiyuan said with a smile.
"It's just a fluke." Yang Lian said lightly.
Gao Xingzhou walked over, glanced at Yang Lian, then at Gao Huaide, and said in a low voice: "What are you doing standing, don't go quickly!" Gao Huaide reacted, pinched the silver gun, and went to look for the white horse.
Yang Lian arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty's soldiers are invincible. Yang Lian congratulated His Majesty on quelling the Weizhou Rebellion. ”
Du Chongwei, who was not far away, heard it, his face turned white and red for a while, and it was indescribably wonderful.
Liu Zhiyuan coughed and said, "I am very pleased that the Yang envoy can come, but this place is not a place to speak, please!" After all, Yang Lian represents the face of the Tang Dynasty, and this face, as far as the current Liu Zhiyuan is concerned, still has to be given.
"Your Majesty, please!" Yang Lian stepped back slightly, making way out.
The group of Liu Zhiyuan was in front, Yang Lian and the crown prince Liu Chengxun were slightly behind, and the rest of Gao Xingzhou, Murong Yanchao, Du Chongwei and others followed closely. The army continued to march slowly towards Kaifeng City.
"As early as when I was in Jinling, I heard that His Majesty was famous and was a great hero. Yang Lian said, patting Liu Zhiyuan's ass.
How could Liu Zhiyuan not know Yang Lian's thoughts, but Yang Lian praised him as a big hero, how could he deny it? I had to smile and said: "I heard that the Tang Dynasty can produce many people, and the Tang Dynasty Emperor can choose Yang Envoy from many ministers, and he really has good eyesight." ”
Yang Lian smiled faintly, knowing that Liu Zhiyuan was pouring ecstasy soup on himself, so he naturally played haha. The road back to Kaifeng is about five miles, a few people chatted while walking, Yang Lian was mostly flattering to Liu Zhiyuan, in his mouth, Liu Zhiyuan became the first emperor of the ages, Liu Chengxun who listened to it on the side was red-faced, but Yang Lian didn't notice it at all, and was still talking to himself.
Liu Zhiyuan was not good at words when he was young, although he changed as he got older, but when he met Yang Lian, who was so skillful, he couldn't talk about him at all, and he smiled most of the time. Gao Xingzhou and Murong Yanchao behind him glanced at each other and shook their heads, this Tang envoy is not simple.
Encouraging Kaifeng City to get closer and closer, the smile on Yang Lian's face became stronger and stronger. Liu Chengxun had already made preparations in advance, martial law had been imposed in Kaifeng City, and the soldiers of the forbidden army and Jing Zhaoyin's servants maintained order on the streets of Kaifeng, and entered the city, and there were not many people, which was also the result of Liu Chengxun's fear that someone would make trouble and send people to strictly monitor it.
Walking slowly along the bluestone paved road, Yang Lian narrowed his eyes, looked around, and calculated the time.
Liu Zhiyuan had a smile on his face, pacifying the Weizhou Rebellion, it was indeed very happy, the Central Plains was completely in his hands, as long as he was given a few more years, he would be able to integrate the interior of the Han Kingdom, cut off those feudal towns one by one, and after the internal worries of the Han Dynasty were resolved, the Han Dynasty could go south and unify the world, so the alliance with the Tang Dynasty was only temporary.
Liu Zhiyuan probably knows the content of this alliance, but in his opinion, Datang's request is a bit rude, but he can still accept it, anyway, this alliance is only temporary.
Liu Zhiyuan was thinking about it, when suddenly, a crisp singing voice came from not far away: "The Han water is exhausted, and the birds are flying high." Flying around and stopping, the mountains are not as low as the castles! Another way is: 100 finches fly on the water, and 99 pass through Shanxi. Only one stepped on his feet, and Gao Qi took care of his sweater alone. ”
Liu Chengxun's face changed slightly, he had tried his best to suppress this matter, and the children in Kaifeng City were not allowed to sing this ballad, and even sent people to block the streets, but he didn't expect that at this crossroads, there were suddenly a few more children, and they were singing this song that made him tremble.
In Liu Chengxun's heart, he didn't intend to hide it, but he wanted to control the matter within a certain range, and then report the matter to his father, after all, he felt that this ballad had a lot to do with Guo Wei, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better. However, at this time, someone is singing this ballad, and the situation is very bad.
Liu Chengxun reflexively glanced at Guo Wei behind him, and saw that his face really changed. The pertinence of this ballad is too strong, and Guo Wei easily remembered his nickname: Guo Qi'er. However, Guo Wei was quite calm, without any expression on his face.
Yang Lian let out a "huh" and said, "What kind of ballad is this?" The tune is also good, isn't it a small song in Kaifeng? ”
Liu Zhiyuan frowned slightly, and after thinking carefully, he also heard the hidden meaning of this ballad, and in the first time, what he remembered was Guo Wei and Guo Qi'er, but why did this ballad suddenly circulate in Kaifeng City? Liu Zhiyuan was puzzled. (To be continued.) )
