When Xiao Buyi was gratifying the situation of horse trafficking, he already knew about the deterioration of the situation in the Great Sui, and he couldn't help but think about himself and the people around him.

The siege of Yanmen has intensified all problems, and it can be regarded as a major turning point in the Great Sui era.

In the past, the Turks were nothing in the eyes of the Great Sui, but now the Great Sui is nothing in the eyes of Shibi Khan, and the same is true for Yang Guang.

Although the siege of Yanmen was solved, Yang Guang's ambition and talent and surname defects were once again exposed in front of the world.

Appointing him Xiao Buyi as the general of the right Xiaowei, and then letting others stay in Taiyuan and contain each other, this is Yang Guang's method of employing people.

If Yang Guang could listen to the advice of the minister and his Xiao Buyi and consolidate the foundation, the Great Sui would not necessarily collapse, but since he knew that Yang Guang hesitated again and returned to the Eastern Capital, Xiao Buyi knew that Yang Guang was incorrigible, and so was the Great Sui.

Since the siege of Yanmen, although Yang Guang did not say that he would conquer Goryeo again, he did not say that he would no longer conquer Liaodong. Xiao Buyi was in Taiyuan City, and he knew that the people were panicking, and the gate valves also seized the time to recruit troops and buy horses, which can be seen from the smooth sale of his horses.

"Lord Xiao, Qi Wugongbu wants to see you." Sun Shaofang hurriedly came to Xiao Buyi.

Xiao Buyi was slightly happy, "Please come over." ”

Qi Wugongbu has never left, he has never even left the house where he is recuperating from his injuries, Xiao Buyi is not forced, and if he wants to hurry, he will not reach it, even if he is hypocritical, he must have an essential difference from Gao Junya. In the troubled times, Qi Wu Gongbu is really hard to find, and with Qi Wu Gong Cloth, he can be confident.

When Qi Wugongbu came in, his body was still very weak, but his expression was very persistent, and the first thing he said when he came in was, "I know, you have taken a fancy to my alchemy technique, otherwise you wouldn't have gone to great lengths to save me." ”

Xiao Buyi replied simply and clearly, "Not bad." ”

"I have always believed that the lives of people with use value are usually colorful, and the lives of people without use value are very sad." Qi Wugongbu's eyes showed a sad look, "I have been refining countless weapons in my life, and the refining methods are unparalleled in the world, and when others mention the four words Qi Wuhuaiwen, there is only mystery and admiration, and I have never insulted the reputation of my great-ancestors." ”

"I believe it." Xiao Buyi is colorful.

"But I was wrong, very wrong." Qi Wugongbu said sadly: "I'd rather be an ordinary person now, I don't know anything, and then I may be happier." The cadre Mo Xie did not hesitate to throw himself into the furnace for the sake of refining weapons, and because of me, my wife and children were killed cleanly. ”

Xiao Buyi sighed lightly, "The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty." ”

Qi Wugongbu sneered: "It is not Huaibi who is guilty, but the human heart. ”

Xiao Buyi thought for a while before saying, "You're right." ”

Qi Wuhuaiwen was stunned, "Do you know why I'm talking to you about this? Because I want to take advantage of you too. ”

Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "How to use it, let's hear it." It is my honor to be used by others, and it is my honor to be used by you. ”

"Of course you are valuable, you are the right Xiaowei general of the Great Sui, the servant Shaoqing, you have the power of life and death in your hands, and your current glory is beyond the reach of too many people in a lifetime. But I have nothing but the refining tools. I'm glad I have a skill that you need. Qi Wugongbu said word for word: "If you want me to help you refine the weapon, you must help me kill Gao Junya!" ”

There was some silence in the room, and Sun Shaofang listened quietly. Now that he is like Xiao Buyi's brother, he is very trusted by Xiao Buyi, and he is glad that he has taken a good path. Like his master Dong Qifeng, who has been in the Eastern Capital all his life, how can he be so colorful, he now feels that he is no longer working for the imperial court, but for Xiao Buyi. But when he heard that he was going to kill Gao Junya, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Gao Junya was the deputy guard of Taiyuan, and Yang Guang assigned that it was obviously not so easy to kill him.

"You don't agree?" Qi Wugong was full of disappointment.

"Why do you want to kill Gao Junya?" Xiao Buyi frowned and asked, "Did he kill your wife and children?" ”

Qi Wugongbu nodded, "These reasons are not enough for you to kill him?" ”

Xiao Buyi smiled, "These reasons are enough for you to kill him, but not enough for me to kill him." Gao Junya is a senior member of the court, deputy Taiyuan stayed, and it is possible to be promoted to stay behind, I am a general, and I don't say kill the court officials. Well, how about giving me a few days to think about it? ”

"What needs to be considered?" Qi Wugongbu asked.

"Killing people is also a science," Xiao Buyi smiled: "If you exchange a life for a life, it is already a fool's behavior, even if you kill without leaving a trace, it is just an assassin's doing, if you can kill people and get merit and promotion, it can be regarded as a master's doing." So if you want revenge, trust me and give me some time to prepare. ”

Qi Wugongbu looked at Xiao Buyi for a long time, "You can now be promoted to the general of the right Xiaowei, I don't know how many people you killed?" ”

Xiao Buyi was a little stunned, "I can't count them, but I only know that everyone I kill can bring me some benefits, not make me irreversible." ”

**After Qi Wugongbu left, Sun Shaofang couldn't wait to ask, "Lord Xiao, are you really going to kill Gao Junya, I'm just afraid that it will be very troublesome, is it worth it for a Qi Wugongbu?" ”

Xiao Buyi smiled a little slyly, "It's a bit troublesome, but what we should do most is to blame others for the trouble, and we will take the credit." ”

Sun Shaofang had a bitter face, "Boss Xiao, why do you make me in the fog every time you do something, and only make me realize it after doing it?" I really don't understand how I can kill Gao Junya and still have merit. ”

Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this, in fact, killing Gao Junya is really easy for you and me at the moment." He is now defenseless against us, and it is not difficult for us to find out the route he takes each time he walks. But if you want to appreciate it, it can only be said that it is difficult. ”

"Boss Xiao is clever." Sun Shaofang woke up a little.

"It's not a wise move for us to make a move, Gao Junya is an official of the imperial court after all, and it is not good for us to let people seize the handle." Xiao Buyi sighed lightly, "But of course his enemy is not only Qi Wugongbu, what we need to do is to wait for the opportunity, appropriate catalyst, and accelerate the stimulation of contradictions." When the time is out of control, we will reap the benefits of the fisherman, depending on the situation, and take the greatest benefit, what do you think of my idea? ”

"It's the same as not saying." Sun Shaofang shook his head helplessly.

Xiao Buyi laughed, his eyes looked outside the hall, Fang Wuregret hurriedly walked over, full of wind and dust, but there was joy on his face.

"Lord Xiao, I found that person."

Xiao Buyi was calm and energetic, "Where?" ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of birds outside the hall, and a man walked in slowly, and there were five or six small birds standing on his shoulder.

Birds chirped, and the hall instantly became lively. After the man came, there were countless birds flying in the courtyard, and the servants followed the man one after another, wandering and dancing, which was magnificent.

Although the man's waist was straight, his face was full of wrinkles, quite old, with black hair on the top of his head, pale sideburns, and white hair extending to the back of his head, but black and white. His eyes are full of divine light, which makes people dare not force them to look.

In addition to the bird standing on his shoulder, the man also held a bird in his hand. The bird was not large, and it was white from the top of its eyes to the back of its head, but it looked very similar to the man.

Xiao Buyi slowly got up and stared at the man's face, "Your Excellency's surname?" ”

"You can just call me Pulsatilla." The man's voice was hoarse, he waved his hand, and suddenly made a sharp sound, and the birds were reluctant, but after hearing the sound, they all dispersed, and the hall returned to peace.

Fang Wuregret and Pulsatilla traveled all the way, but it was commonplace, Xiao Buyi and Sun Shaofang were surprised, in the recklessness of the heart, there are many capable people, this person's method of controlling birds is really amazing.

"Pulsatilla?" Xiao Buyi read it all over, and saw his white-haired face again, with some strangeness in his eyes, "Fortunately, I will be lucky." ”

"It's not a lucky meeting, but a special meeting." Pulsatilla said hoarsely: "You kid came to me, didn't you say that you can help me make up for a lifelong regret?" ”

Sun Shaofang felt that Xiao Buyi was simply a fairy, and he didn't understand where he found so many strange characters when he left for a trip. First Qi Wugongbu, and then Pulsatilla, the current General's Mansion can really be said to be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, unfathomable.

Fortunately, he didn't know that the famous Xu Shiji had also arrived here, otherwise he would have been even more shocked.

Xiao Buyi nodded and said, "It may not be possible, but I will do my best." ”

"How do you know I have regrets?" The pulsatilla's eyebrows were raised, and his eyes were burning.

"How could you come here if you don't have regrets?" Xiao Buyi said with a smile.

Pulsatilla was stunned, thinking that this was the theory of chickens laying eggs and eggs laying chickens, "You kid ......"

Sun Shaofang said on the side: "Old man, you'd better speak politely, don't always be your kid, your kid's name, this is the right Xiaowei general of the Great Sui." ”

Pulsatilla snorted coldly, "What can the general of the Great Sui do, and he still doesn't fancy my unparalleled bird training method in the world?" If it weren't for that, how could I let people look for me? ”

Xiao Buyi was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "What Your Excellency said is not bad, but you are not proficient in the method of bird training, as far as I know, Danyang Mu's pigeon breeding is also a must, I don't know if you have heard of it?" ”

Pulsatilla sneered: "Presumably, you and the Mu family did not negotiate the conditions, so they found me." ”

Xiao Buyi said indifferently: "As the general of the Right Xiaowei, I want the Mu family to help me, what's the difficulty?" ”

Pulsatilla was stunned at this time, "Then what are you looking for me, I have been proficient in playing birds all my life, and the rest are ignorant." ”

Xiao Buyi stared at Pulsatilla, "Sometimes giving others a chance, but also giving yourself, I want to help you have thirty percent because of your skills, but seventy percent want to resolve past grievances, just because in this grievance, there is my most respected brother in the world, otherwise I may not be looking for you." ”

Pulsatilla's face was solemn, "Who is he?" ”

"Of course you recognize Pharmacist Li." Xiao Buyi said softly.

Pulsatilla Huo Ran took two steps forward and said urgently: "What else do you know?" ”

Xiao Buyi sighed lightly, "I also know that Pharmacist Li has a younger brother named Li Keshi, who never met his brother again because of a misunderstanding, but he has always been stubborn. This Li Keshi is good at training birds and beasts, and is known as a bird thief, but he is still alone, and he calls himself a pulsatilla because of his sorrow! ”

Pulsatilla sat down slowly, tears already welling up in the corners of his eyes, and muttered: "It turns out that you know everything, is my second brother okay?" ”

Sun Shaofang was a little stunned, of course he knew who Pharmacist Li was, that was Li Jing. Although Li Jing is nearly half a hundred years old, he seems to be in his first year, and the white-haired old man in front of him says that Li Jing's father is believed by others, but he is Li Jing's younger brother? What are the incomprehensible contradictions between the two brothers?

**Chai Shao was sober for a few days, and finally mustered up the courage to go to Li Caiyu.

He decided that it was better to say some words clearly in person, but that night was really chaotic, and he didn't say a complete word to Li Caiyu from beginning to end.

Maybe it's a misunderstanding, maybe it's because I'm too careful, let alone ...... When he came to the Li Mansion nervously, Chai Shao saw Li Shimin, and he was still very grateful to this brother-in-law, at least he had been comforting himself when he was most frustrated.

"Shimin, where is your sister?"

Li Shimin let out a long sigh, "Let's go." ”

"Gone, where are you going?" Chai Shao's heart sank.

"I don't know." Li Shimin's eyes rolled, "But one thing is for sure, you broke her heart." ”

"But your sister can't stand me first." Chai Shao said that he had no confidence.

Li Shimin Huo Ran stood up, "How can you say that about my sister?" ”

Chai Shao was stunned, "Shimin, aren't you on my side, talk about that night?" ”

Li Shimin said with a straight face: "I'm just standing on Li's side, and I know now that my sister hasn't changed her mind about you." ”

"And she and Xiao Buyi?"

"She and Xiao Buyi are just hypocritical and wrongdoers, don't you know that Xiao Buyi is now in a high position?" Li Shimin said with a bitter face: "What does Xiao Buyi want her to do, how dare she disobey?" ”

"...... so"

"You're wrong." Li Shimin sighed, "She was going to explain to you that night, but I didn't expect you to ask her to leave, do you think she will be sad?" ”

Chai Shao was in pain, "I just said that she won't change her mind about me, I can't stand her." Now, is she really going to find Xiao Buyi? ”

Li Shimin shook his head, "I don't know where she went, and maybe the ends of the earth are at the end of the world, but Jingdong is the most likely place for her to go." ”

"Even to the ends of the earth, I will definitely find her." Chai Shao Huoran turned around, got on his horse and left. Li Shimin looked at his back, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

**"Dad, I tricked Chai Shao away, and we can come to do the marriage proposal during this time." ”

Li Yuan didn't know when he had come behind Li Shimin, and sighed lightly when he heard this, "Chai Shao is also infatuated, in fact, if Caiyu is with him, it is not bad." ”

Li Shimin frowned and said: "Dad, you can't say that, you don't need infatuation to protect your life and fight the world!" Infatuation is of no other use than misdeeds, in my opinion. Look at the current Chai Shao, the six gods who have been deceived by love have no master, and they have no opinions at all, this kind of person is definitely not a person who does great things. ”

Li Yuan said after a while: "Since Chai Shao is gone, we don't have to think about it now......

"Sir, the letter that Miss left you." A maid hurriedly ran over and handed Li Yuan a letter.

The father and son both had their faces discolored, thinking of something, Li Yuan stretched out his hand to answer the letter, full of trembling, and when he finished reading the letter, he stomped his feet and said, "This disobedient girl." ”

Li Shimin stretched out his hand and took it twice, and said in a lost voice: "It's not good, my sister went to the Eastern Capital, then she may run into Chai Shao." ”

He now feels self-defeating, he originally wanted to deceive Chai Shao away from Taiyuan City to facilitate his own actions, and he also felt that his sister must focus on the overall situation, but he didn't expect Li Caiyu to leave Taiyuan City, so he calculated for a long time and fell into the void.

"I'll go find my sister." Li Shimin turned around and wanted to rush out of the Li Mansion.

"Shimin, forget it, it's too late." Li Yuan said weakly: "Besides, Dad has other things to tell you." ”

Li Shimin frowned, "Dad, what's the matter?" ”

Li Yuan pondered for a moment, "Shimin, last time you lost a lot of horses in Huoyi, Dad doesn't blame you, this leader is not born to fight, and it is good to exercise slowly." However, since the siege of Yanmen, the price of horses in the north has soared, and even began to have no price. I heard that recently Kanto came out of a solo exhibition, quite a way, can actually come in from the Turks horses, but the exhibition is quite secretive, few people see his true face, you know a lot of people in a hurry, see if you can find someone else to come forward, quietly buy hundreds of horses. ”

Li Shimin stretched out his hand and said, "What about the money?" ”

Li Yuan smiled bitterly: "Dad doesn't have any money, you go to Jinyang Palace to find Pei Lin and think of a way, he and I are good, now as a Jinyang Palace Supervisor, there will always be a way." Seeing Li Shimin's bitter gourd face, Li Yuan patted him on the shoulder, "Shimin, we can save as much as we can now, and we have to act in secret." Dad knows that this is more difficult to do, so he will let you do it, you don't have to live up to Dad's trust. ”

**Gao Junya has not been elegant at all recently, he can be said to be in a very bad mood, and he is worried all the time.

Wu Gongbu was actually robbed from his cell without warning, which made him feel shocked.

He now sleeps with a knife on his pillow every night.

He said that Taiping Road was insignificant, but all kinds of legends about Taiping Road really made it difficult for him to sleep.

Since the establishment of Zhang Jiao, Taiping Dao has never been extinct for hundreds of years, although the momentum is not as good as before, and there may be people and strangers in an endless stream. Who rescued this Wu Gongbu, why has there been no movement until now, the longer the time, the greater the pressure in Gao Junya's heart.

But what bothered him the most was not that Wu Gongbu was rescued, but that he already knew that the position left behind in Taiyuan fell on Li Yuan's head, and the holy decree would arrive before he could say it.

After wandering around the room for a long time, Gao Junya finally made a decision, walked out of the room, and came to the front of a secret room.

It's a different place than a cell, but there are a few soldiers outside the door. Gao Junya entered the secret room and ordered the soldiers to guard outside, and no one was allowed to enter.

The secret room is also simple, but there is no sky, the everlasting lamp is lit, and a person sits on the ground paved with stone slabs, his expression is blank.

The man was very thin, his limbs were quite long, and there was a scar on his face, which was cut from the tip of his eyebrows to the corners of his mouth, which was very ugly, and it made people feel a chill in their hearts.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man opened his eyes and whispered, "What's the matter?" ”

"Hongji, how do I treat you?" Gao Junya smiled.

"It's not thin." The man only said two words, and he spoke loudly.

Gao Junya was very satisfied with this person's answer, in his opinion, the real killer has always talked less nonsense.

"I'm in trouble right now, I hope Hongji can help me do something."

"I'll only kill people." Hongji is simple and straightforward.

Gao Junya was even more satisfied, "I just want you to help me kill someone now." ”

"Who?" Hongji's expression remained unchanged, and he seemed to think that killing people was just a daily routine.

"Li Yuan!"

Hongji was still silent, and just asked, "When will you do it?" ”

Gao Junya smiled and said: "Li Yuan is an old fox, and he also has some ability, we must hit it well, have you seen Li Yuan?" ”

"I've seen it in Dongdu, but it's just a person who holds the flag, what kind of ability can he have?" Hongji said lightly.

Gao Junya shook her head and said: "You can't say that, I think Li Xuanba was known as the number one master in the Eastern Capital back then, and he must be not bad." ”

Hongji laughed, "Li Xuanba studied art when he was a child, Sun Simiao, and he was more self-taught, this kind of person is rare to meet one in a hundred years, what does it have to do with his old son." If you want to kill Li Xuanba, then I still have self-knowledge, it is better to kill myself, but if Li Yuan is in front of me, I can kill him in three moves. However, I heard that among his children, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Caiyu are all not bad at martial arts......"

"None of them are by Li Yuan's side now." Gao Junya's spirits lifted.

Hongji nodded and said: "Then I will be much more relieved, I don't know how Master Gao is going to assassinate Li Yuan, Hongji obeys." ”

Gao Junya muttered: "The Kyoto Holy Decree will arrive after the third day, and the Holy Lord intends to seal Li Yuan as Taiyuan to stay. If he stays in Taiyuan, there will naturally be more guards around him, and it will be difficult to kill him again. Besides, if the Taiyuan left-behind guards are killed, I, as the deputy left-behind, have an unshirkable responsibility. In this case, I decided to set up a banquet to invite Xiao Buyi to the Dingsheng Restaurant, since I want to assassinate him, of course I can't be in my house. At that time, Wang Wei, Murong Luoyu, Liu Zhenghui and others were present, and Li Yuan would naturally accompany him. When the time comes, I will let you get involved and kill Li Yuan while he can't prevent it? ”

"Not a bad idea." Hongji nodded.

"But you have to be careful with one person." Gao Junya woke up and said: "Xiao Buyi, the general of the right Xiaowei, is extremely strong in martial arts, you don't want to entangle with him and be caught by him......"

"Lord Gao is kind to me, I can't kill Li Yuan, I will kill myself, and I won't let adults be implicated." Hongji cut the railway.

Gao Junya was moved, "Hongji, I only hope you can succeed." If you can't succeed in one blow, I will let someone guard Xiao Buyi and take the opportunity to stop him, even if you run for your life, it is better to have a useful body. ”

**Outside the Dingsheng Restaurant in Taiyuan City, heavily guarded.

Everyone is very cautious, but they are afraid that the thieves will enter the restaurant and startle General Xiao.

Today, it is said that Gao Junya, the deputy of Taiyuan, set up a banquet to entertain the general of the right Xiaowei, and all the characters with heads and faces in Taiyuan City are here.

Now that his daughter is gone, Li Yuan's illness is almost cured, and of course he can't be absent from such a grand event.

When Li Yuan arrived, Xiao Buyi sat on the throne early. Li Yuan stepped forward and saluted: "General Xiao, the next official is late, please forgive me." ”

"Didn't the people come?" Xiao Buyi asked.

"He's always been stubborn, and he's not fit to come on this occasion." Li Yuan was 'groaning' in his heart, and he couldn't understand the meaning of Xiao Buyi's question.

He is somewhat a thief, and now he is also suffering from gains and losses. Just because now everyone has seen that the fall of the Great Sui Dynasty is imminent, whether you want to rebel, protect yourself, or plot the world, strength is indispensable.

Of course, he Li Yuan is no exception!

It's just that he asked his son to find a romantic buyer, and Xiao Buyi just asked about the world, which inevitably made him feel bottomless.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yuan laughed a little again, secretly saying that the people of the world may not be able to find Pei Lin now, how to buy a horse, he is really worried.

"Why is Lord Li laughing?" Gao Junya asked with a smile.

Li Yuan replied with a smile: "I heard that the chef of Dingsheng Restaurant is first-class in Taiyuan, and I think there will be a feast for a while, so I can't help but be happy." ”

Gao Junya also laughed, "What Master Li said is right, there will be a feast in a while, and it will definitely satisfy all the adults!" ”.
