Chapter 178: Joining the Army

Yang Lihua, the daughter of Yang Jian, the Duke of Sui, who was supposed to become the crown princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, died. Her body was found in a deserted temple in the city, her face was so badly damaged by sharp objects that she could not be recognized as she really was, and her body was covered in blood, and only from her clothes and the belongings she carried with her could she vaguely identify her true identity.

Next to Yang Lihua's corpse, there is also a corpse with a male surname, just like Yang Lihua, who is also unrecognizable, and the death is hideous and terrifying, I don't know who is so vicious. Maybe this young man is happy, maybe not, the people of Chang'an City have no way of knowing.

On the fifth day of the first month of the first month of 574 AD, Yuwen Yong officially ordered to cancel the pursuit of Gao Xing and Yang Lihua and bury Yang Lihua. This news made all the people in Chang'an City breathe a sigh of relief, and the depressed mood was as bright and gentle as the gradually clearing sky.

In the rest of the month, there were a lot of major events happening in Chang'an City, which made it a little difficult for everyone to accept. First, the Empress Dowager reprimanded the slave lady for her death, then she was happy to defile the crown princess, and then there was a mighty campaign to exterminate Buddhism. This series of events caused some turmoil in the city. Now, with Yu Wenyong's order, Chang'an City has gradually restored its former prosperity and hustle, and it is still more than it used to be. After all, there are not a few monks and Taoists who have been ordered to return to the world.

Is it possible for Yang Lihua to die suddenly? The answer is clearly no.

As the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Chang'an City was the cultural, political and economic center of the city, with a population of more than one million. Even if Yu Wenyong has 100,000 soldiers, it is undoubtedly extremely arduous and difficult to find two people who can be disguised from among the millions. Dozens of days of martial law and arrests not only made the people in the city panic, but also caused a great burden on the state.

Whether happiness really defiled Yang Lihua, Yuwen Yong's father and son don't know, and it seems that there is no need to know. The so-called words are terrifying, and the truth of the matter is no matter what, this matter is really a great shame for the Yuwen royal family.

But Yuwen Yong is not Yuwen Yun, he was able to endure for more than ten years, silently accumulate his strength, and finally kill Yuwen Hu, and finally seize power, you can imagine how firm his mind is. Successful people may not be the smartest, but they will definitely judge the situation, take it and take advantage of every opportunity.

Although with the help of Yu Wenxian, Yu Wen Yong's policy of banning religion was successfully implemented, but where there is oppression, there is resistance, and not everyone will be afraid of Yu Wen Yong's steel knife and spear. There are always fanatics who will defend their faith to the death, even if they are spurned and crusaded by the world, his heart is still the same. Such people are ignorant, but at the same time lovable, worthy of the admiration of all beings.

Chang'an City has almost been excavated by Yuwenxian and Yuwen, but Xing Xing and Yang Lihua are still nowhere to be found. In the past six months or so, the manpower and material resources consumed have been terrifyingly huge, which has put a sharp increase in the pressure on the national treasury.

So Yu Wenyong decisively issued an order to stop the large-scale search and arrest operation. At the same time, Yu Wenyong also looked for two corpses similar to Gao Xing and Yang Lihua, and carved their faces so that people could not distinguish them, so as to end the matter between Gao Xing and Yang Lihua. But Yu Wenyong still privately instructed Yu Wenxian to secretly pay close attention to the movements of all parties in Chang'an City and look for happy whereabouts.

No matter how the people in the city talked about what happened in the past as an after-dinner conversation, and no matter how Yu Wenyong was secretly distressed, Happy and Yang Lihua had already appeared in the barracks outside the city at this time.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Yu Wenyong ordered the conscription, and the soldiers were ordered to return to the vulgar, and the ages were selected from among the monks and Taoist priests aged 15 to 40. So, Gao Xing and Yang Lihua followed the large army out of Chang'an City and came to the military camp only twenty miles away from Chang'an.

The army is fine but not too much, and only when there is food can it be done. Therefore, Yu Wenyong specially requested that the newly recruited soldiers must be strictly screened so as not to waste food.

In the military camp outside Chang'an City, under the warm sunshine, nearly 10,000 monks lined up in a long queue, waiting for the examiner's assessment with worried, frustrated, or novel complicated feelings.

Happy and Yang Lihua were next to each other, at the back of the team. After a few days of growth, the scalp of the two has some black gas, not as bright and eye-catching as before, the two have changed out of monk's clothes, only wearing ordinary people's clothing, linen coarse clothes, the hem has just reached the thighs, lean but not beautiful, the main role is to save fabric, save money.

For the assessment and selection of new Ding, it is actually quite simple, one is strength, and the other is speed. The military camp is the venue for the assessment, on which there are ten stone locks, and at the edge are placed weapon racks, swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks and other common weapons.

Happy and Yang Lihua both waited for the arrival of the assessment with a calm face, only occasionally talking, but never talked about their personal identity and what had happened recently, only about the assessment. Happy was a complete lone ranger in his previous life, although he has changed a lot now, but he still doesn't say much, the most important thing is that if you say too much, you will lose, for the sake of safety, Happy is almost silent.

As the sun crossed the graceful arc in the sky, time passed little by little, and the assessment continued, and the line in front of Xing Xing became shorter and shorter, and finally, when the sun was about to fall on the Fuso tree, it was finally Xing's turn.

"What's your name?" The examiner is a young man in his early twenties, with a slightly dark face full of fortitude and steadiness after experiencing wind and frost; The eyebrows are thick and heavy, standing like a knife, and there is a vigorous and heroic spirit between the eyebrows; A pair of eyes are bright, with black beard at the corners of the lips, very majestic.

Although this person did not leave the table from early morning to evening, his waist was still straight, and there was no trace of fatigue on his face, and he was still in good spirits. His broad, strong chest filled up a slightly darker iron armor, and he looked imposing.

"Ahem, Yang Fan." Xing Xing bent his waist slightly, coughed a few times, and then said. The sallow face was a little more bloody because of the cough, and it was a little less sickly.

The examiner frowned, and looked at him carefully: he was long, but thin and a little slender, sickly and coughing.

This sick person, obviously looking weak, how can he get on the battlefield?

The examiner was frowning and thinking about it, when a young general behind him opened his mouth and reprimanded: "Well, what are you doing here, you sick ghost, are you here to entertain us?" ”

"Ahem, don't dare!" glancing happily at the young general, he spat out two words stiffly, and then walked straight to a stone lock.

Happy coughed twice, then bent down, stretched out a hand to grab the groove of the stone lock, exhaled, "hey", the stone lock weighing 100 catties rose from the ground, and Bei Xing raised one arm above his head. Happy coughed violently a few times, and his face was a little more flushed, but his right arm holding the stone lock was barely moving, and his face was also relaxed.

"You're such a big ......" The young general was originally furious and wanted to scold Happy, but he was shocked by Happy's sudden movements, and he forgot to continue to reprimand Happy for a while, and looked at Happy with an incredible face.

"Hiss", there was a gasping sound around, there were onlookers, most of them were hundreds of lay monks behind Yang Lihua.

In the regular army, there are people who can lift a hundred pounds with one hand, but there are definitely not many. And the monks who are still vulgar eat fasting and chant Buddha all day, and they are very chic, where can they compare to the physique and strength of the soldiers who get up early and are greedy for darkness, bleeding and sweating. And who would have thought that his thin body contained such great power.

The examiner was also taken aback, and then his brows suddenly relaxed, and a ball of essence erupted in his eyes, and he praised loudly: "Good strength!" ”

"Bang!"

Happy casually threw the stone lock on the ground and made a loud noise, he slapped the dust on his hands casually, and then clenched his fists, and said with a humble smile on his face: "It's over, cough, cough!" As he spoke, he coughed violently again.

"Happy pass, next!" The examiner's eyes flashed, nodded approvingly, and shouted at Yang Lihua.

"Name?"

"Yang Hua." Yang Lihua stepped forward, although she had tried her best to speak in a rough voice, but the innate advantage of the female surname still made her voice very crisp and beautiful, plus she was only dressed up a little, and her very delicate and graceful face suddenly made people's eyes shine, but it was very weird.

"Let's show our strength first!" The examiner nodded lightly and said lightly.

Yang Lihua nodded and came to a stone lock, sinking her waist and tying the horse, the pair of slender and tender little hands tightly clasped the groove of the stone lock, and with a soft snap in her mouth, her waist suddenly exerted force, and the stone lock rose in response to the sound and was lifted to her chest by Yang Lihua.

Yang Lihua was originally a weak woman, only thirteen years old, how much strength can she have? If it weren't for the joy of dredging the main meridians for him to help her cultivate the "Recipe for Longevity", it only took half a month to reach the peak of the first realm, how could she lift this hundred-pound stone lock?

Yang Lihua gritted her teeth, her white face was flushed, and her eyes were firm and persistent. Yang Lihua only lasted about ten breaths before letting go of her hands, throwing the stone lock on the ground, and gasping violently with her mouth wide open.

"Yang Hua, how old are you this year?" The examiner looked at Yang Lihua in self-study, and his tone was not very serious, but it was not very gentle, and it should be more appropriate to use the word "formulaic".

"General Hui, I'm thirteen years old." Yang Lihua replied.

"Thirteen? Your Majesty has an order, you must be at least fifteen years old to recruit soldiers, you better go home! A trace of difference flashed in the examiner's eyes, and he said in a gentle tone.

"General, Yang Hua was originally a poor orphan, and he threw himself into Shamen in order to survive, but now that the opportunity to serve the country is in front of me, how can I retreat?" Yang Lihua strode in front of the examiner and said sonorously, her eyes full of perseverance.

The examiner was stunned and looked at Yang Lihua fixedly, the latter was not afraid and was frank. After a long time, the examiner showed a smile on his face and praised: "Okay, I have a heroic young man like you in Da Zhou, how can you not dominate the world?" Haha, just wait! ”

"Thank you, General!" Yang Lihua breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, with a relieved expression on her face. In the eyes of outsiders, Yang Lihua was relaxed because she passed the assessment, but in fact, she was relaxed because she was able to leave Chang'an more safely.
