Yang Xuangan nodded: "I know that you have friends in Hebei and Shandong, will you be the first to launch it when the time comes?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "It depends on the situation, but I originally made a bet with you, but I wanted you to be the first in the world, now I regret it a little, you guy is now full of revenge, and has lost his rational judgment, in fact, you are now the banner of the children of the family, there is no need to be so anxious, when the world is full of wolves, there will naturally be a chance for you to lead the troops to go out, and when the time comes, you will recruit troops in Guanzhong to quell the rebellion, I am in Lianghuai, once the time is ripe, you will break away from the Sui Dynasty and stand on your own, and then you will find a way to set up a new monarch." , thinking that it is a puppet and buys people's hearts. ”

Yang Xuangan took a deep breath: "It's okay, then this time I'll listen to you again, don't do it for the time being, you let me enter the court as Hongluqing, what officials can I befriend?" And what power can they wield? ”

The corners of Wang Shichong's mouth hooked: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, first attack your father's title, and then talk about it when you return to the court, Hongluqing's position will not attract Yang Guang's attention now, and it is easy to make meritorious service and get promoted, now he will be very sensitive to you grasping military power, so don't mention the matter of being in charge of the army for the time being, and when he really wants to fight Goguryeo, then the generals of the world will think about meritorious service, and if you mention the matter of being in charge of the army at that time, it will not seem abrupt."

Yang Xuangan laughed: "Do you believe that Yang Guang can defeat Goguryeo?" ”

Wang Shichong pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say, although Goguryeo is difficult to fight. But the Sui Dynasty was strong after all. Don't attack with life. It is possible to fight it, but no matter what the outcome of this war is, it will cause a large-scale civil uprising in the country, and it may be better if it is defeated, because it is still necessary to reward meritorious soldiers at that time, and once the reward cannot satisfy so many people, then these people will not do their best when they lead the troops to quell the rebellion, no matter what. The future is always you and mine. ”

Yang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Talking to you like this, I will be relieved." By the way, there's something I want to ask you about, and you have to be honest with me. ”

Wang Shichong replied expressionlessly: "Do you want to ask Li Xiuning how he is doing now, how is Li Yuan's family now?" ”

Yang Xuangan was no longer surprised that Wang Shichong could guess his thoughts, and he sighed: "In order to protect myself, I chose to withdraw from the marriage after listening to your words, although our Yang family has survived a catastrophe because of this, but, but this is too unfair to A-Ning." For the past two years, I have been confined to the palace, and I know almost nothing about the outside world. I don't know how she's doing, I'm going out of the mountain now, and I want to repair the relationship with the Li family, I don't know if there is still this possibility. ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "The wood is already in the boat, the past cannot be turned back, Li Xiuning has married Chai Shao, I heard that they are very affectionate now, and they already have children, if I were you, I would not disturb the happy life of others." ”

Yang Xuangan closed his eyes, and after a long time, he opened them again, and he sighed: "It can only be said that creation makes people, and I can only wish A-Ning happiness and happiness, so what is the situation of Li Yuan's family now, I intend to re-ally with their family secretly, what do you think?" ”

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "It's basically impossible, Li Yuan is very cautious now, almost only with the eldest grandson's family, and the Gao family where the eldest grandson Sheng's stepwife is located, in addition, there is only Liu Wenjing, who has ordered a baby kiss with your close brother, and Hedong Pei Lian, who is good friends with Li Yuan, oh, by the way, the Dou Rail, who used to take over the governor of Youzhou for Li Zixiong, has always had a close relationship with Li Yuan, and these people are a small circle newly formed around Tang Guogong Li Yuan in the past two years, and there are some small and medium-sized families attached to them. ”

A trace of disappointment flashed in Yang Xuangan's eyes: "In this way, Tang Guogong has also survived the crisis, and he no longer needs to join forces with us." ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Yes, Yang Guang's suspicion is very heavy, the strong alliance between the big families is the way to take trouble, like Gao Ying, He Ruobi, Su Wei in the period of the first emperor, these important ministers and big families are each other's in-laws, and they also advance and retreat together in the court, but such a consortium can be ended by Yang Guang, so Li Yuan secretly befriended some small and medium-sized families with little power, but it is a good choice, although these people do not seem to have much power, but they hold a lot of middle and low-level martial arts, as long as there is a war in the future, They will be able to quickly master a large number of troops, and it seems that they are also preparing for the troubled times in the future. ”

Yang Xuangan gritted his teeth: "Then do you have any contact with Li Yuan and Changsun Sheng, or do you have any tacit understanding?" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head helplessly, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes: "I also know it for more than a year, why does Changsun Sheng and I have always been at odds, do you remember the woman surnamed Gao I killed when you came to my house to fake a kiss?" That's Gao Mao's daughter, Gao Shilian's sister, who was developed into a female killer by Gao Ying's intelligence organization, in order to show loyalty to Yang Su, I took the opportunity of you to make trouble, and killed the girl with my own hands, and since then I have formed an undying blood feud with the Gao family, and Changsun Sheng has also broken off a relationship with me because of this, and now this relationship may have affected Li Yuan, I secretly showed favor to him several times, but he completely ignored it and categorically refused. ”

Yang Xuangan shook his head: "In this way, this road is impassable." ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "I can't do it, but you may still be able to, Li Mi and that important person of the Li Yuan group, martial arts make Liu Wenjing a son and daughter, maybe you can find your close brother to think of a way to restore the relationship between the two of you and Li Yuan." Even if you can't form an alliance openly, you can exchange information secretly. ”

Yang Xuangan smiled and said: "You even know about this, okay, I'll talk to my brother about it when I go back." Try to get in touch with Li Yuanhui. Okay, if nothing else, I'll go first. ”

Wang Shichong nodded, and also stood up with Yang Xuangan: "Don't be too anxious, the more opportunities are about to appear, the more you must learn to be patient, the future chaos in the world is a sure thing, you will strive to be the representative of the family at that time, don't just be satisfied with such a simple thing as revenge." ”

Yang Xuangan laughed: "You can do it yourself." Don't lay out for so many years. Give Yang Guang a pot in advance. ”

After Yang Xuangan left. Wang Shichong returned to Siyu Tower, looking at the stars shining in the night sky, he sighed softly and muttered to himself, "The storm is coming, how long will I have to wait?" ”

Half a year later, Daxing City has reached the height of summer, the former city of Dasui. Since Yang Guang moved the capital four years ago, gradually lost the prosperity of the past, with a large number of officials and nobles moved to Luoyang, the rich and purchasing power in the city also fell a lot, the former million people, sweating into the rain of the lively scene, no longer seen, the street market is much more deserted than before, a few years ago in the most lively West Market Hushang Trade Zone, the stalls are less than half. In some of the open shops, the guys were also dozing off behind the counter.

Wang Shichong was dressed in a purple robe and tight-fitting suit. Wearing a gauze hat, strolling in the alleys of this Daxing City, this time he still followed Yang Guang to prepare an expedition to Tuyuhun's army, and came to the former capital of the Sui Dynasty.

Wei Zheng stayed in the army outside the city today to deal with things, Wang Shichong also wanted to go into the city to see the few shops he left in Daxing, after all, this is an important node on the Silk Road, although the importance is not as good as in the past, it is also a key point that he must adhere to, and Xue Ju of Longyou Jincheng and the profiteer group of Guzang in Liangzhou are also located here.

Since Yang Guang sent troops this time, his smart head has some whimsical ideas, last time the ministers wore wide robes and big sleeves, and it was extremely inconvenient to march and ride horses, this time he simply ordered that all officials should wear strong uniforms, five or more wear purple clothes, six or seven grades wear green clothes, eight or nine grades wear black clothes, foreign officials wear red clothes, soldiers and horsemen wear yellow clothes, so as to divide the ranks, at a glance, among the mighty army, Wang Shichong has also become a little purple in the ten thousand yellow bushes, but after entering this Chang'an City, He was again drowned in a crowd of clothed people.

Today is Shan Xiongxin and Liu Heimin closely followed Wang Shichong in the back, as a guard, Zhang Jincheng and Yang Gongqing's two bodyguards have been sent by Wang Shichong to run a shop in Qinghe, Hebei Province half a year ago, in fact, it is also for the troubled times to plan early, just left Zhang Jin said that this old guy who has been with him for more than ten years, Wang Shichong even misses the smell of never taking a bath for a month, but now he is slowly getting used to it.

Wang Shichong walked around in this city for most of the day, looking east and west, he was really disappointed, after moving the capital, this Daxing City is not only a thing or a person, but also even those freshly dressed angry horses, riding horses across the street heroes and evil young people can not see, this time Zhang Jin said to go to Hebei, pulled away four or five hundred strong men, for a time let Wang Shichong feel that the manpower of the full garden in Luoyang City is also a lot tighter, originally intended to take advantage of this time to drive with the Guanxi, to find some reliable guards in this place where the people are fierce, of course, It would be great to be able to make friends with some Guan Long heroes, recruit his subordinates when he starts the army in the future, and become a descendant. It's a pity that I have been walking for most of the day now, and I haven't even seen a gangster like Liu Jushi on this street, but there are Hu people in the Western Regions with high noses and deep eyes, and even Tianzhu merchants selling along the street.

Wang Shichong sighed and said to Shan Xiongxin behind him: "It looks like it's not early, let's go back." ”

At this moment, the few people on the street suddenly seemed to receive a signal at the same time, and they rushed towards the east side, and the guys from the two shops rushed from behind, almost hitting Wang Shichong, Shan Xiongxin and Liu Heimin hurriedly said: "Lord beware!" Then the two of them crossed their arms and stood behind Wang Shichong, their backs tightly pressed against Wang Shichong, like two door gods, blocking more and more people who were running, and they might crash into Wang Shichong's crowd.

Wang Shichong frowned, this situation has often been encountered in the Eastern Capital in the past two years, once there is a strange performance or emergency, the residents of the Eastern Capital will compete to see the excitement, but now there is such a scene in this deserted Daxing Market, which makes him a little strange, and suddenly becomes interested.

Wang Shichong stretched out his hand, grabbed a guy who ran past him, and asked, "This little brother, what's wrong?" ”

The guy hurriedly broke free of Wang Shichong's hand and said, "The meat flying fairy is here, everyone has to go and see it." ”

Wang Shichong said curiously: "Meat Flying Immortal? What is that? ”

The guy's face was full of impatience: "You are really verbose, this meat flying fairy is a big strange person in our Daxing City, I heard that today I am going to perform the unique work of 100-foot pole head rope, just in front of the Zen Temple!" After he finished speaking, he ran to the front with a puff of smoke. Soon it was submerged in the crowd of hundreds of people.

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "I can't imagine that there are such characters in this Daxing City, Xiongxin, Hei Min, let's go and see it." ”

A look of disdain flashed on Shan Xiongxin's face: "Lord, most of these are charlatans, making some tricks here to deceive and deceive, don't believe these people, let's go back." ”

Liu Heimin also smiled: "That's it, my lord, when I was in my hometown in Hebei, I often saw this kind of charlatan, who often sold strong pills and dog skin plasters, and there was nothing to see." ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Daxing City used to be the capital of the Great Sui for a long time, and many strange people from all over the world came here before, and the vision and knowledge of the people here are far more than those of ordinary small places, but they are still eager to do it, and this is obviously not the first time that this meat flying fairy has performed like this, otherwise these people will not say his name, I think this person is either extremely clever in tricks, or has real talent and learning, go, let's take a look!" ”

Wang Shichong did what he said, and walked forward with his legs, Shan Xiongxin and Liu Heimin hurriedly followed him closely, for fear of being swept away by the crowd.

Following the flow of people, Wang Shichong and his party turned two streets, and walked to a Zen temple in the south of Daxingdong City, Wang Shichong vaguely remembered that this was originally a warehouse, it seems that because of the business recession in Daxing City, here also bought a temple for monks.

The temple is not too big, the exterior wall is freshly painted, and on a yellow wall, there are several big characters written on the Nam no Amitabha Buddha. Outside the temple gate has been surrounded by a sea of people, and there are thousands of people in the square square, and there are a steady stream of new visitors running over to watch, some people who can't squeeze into the front in the back simply set up a human ladder, or climbed to the big willow trees on both sides, Shan Xiongxin and Liu Heimin, the two tower-like strong men relied on their strength, opened the road in front, and a fierce arch, and finally let Wang Shichong follow and squeeze to the front.
