Chapter Twenty-Six: Who is Shaolang?

The middle-aged man witnessed Yuan Qing killing the wild boar in front of his eyes, he was frightened for a while, and he struggled to stand up, Yuan Qing hurriedly helped him up, "Uncle, you are not injured!" ”

"It's okay, I fell on the sand."

The man got up and patted the sand on his body, and then walked up to the wild boar and looked at it, and saw that the wild boar was huge and fierce, and he couldn't help but feel a lingering palpitation, if he was hit by it, he would definitely die a miserable death.

He glanced at Yuan Qing gratefully, and saw that he was breaking the bones of his beloved horse, and his movements were quite skillful, so he stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" ”

"The leg is broken, nothing else."

Yuan Qing had been instructed by Zhang Xutuo, he had wound medicine on his body, he bit the pill with his mouth and applied it to the broken bones of the horses, and clamped the broken bones with two branches, and untied the cloth belt to tie the broken leg firmly.

While treating the horse, he praised, "Uncle, you horse is very psychic!" It actually knew that I was treating it, and it didn't kick me. ”

The middle-aged man sat down on a big rock next to him, he knew that the horse's leg was broken, in fact, the horse was useless, but he didn't say much, so he nodded and said: "This horse has been with me for many years, it is indeed very human, young man, thank you for saving your life today!" ”

Yuan Qing waved his hand a little embarrassedly, "Uncle don't be polite, since you meet it, of course you have to help." ”

The middle-aged man saw that Yuan Qing was dressed thinly, all coarse linen clothes, half-worn leather boots, and even his headscarf was washed white, and at first glance he knew that he was a child of a poor family, and he also experienced poverty when he was a child, so he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for Yuan Qing, so he asked him with a smile, "Young man, what's your surname?" How did it end up here? ”

Yuan Qing said with a smile: "Uncle, my surname is Yang Yuanqing, and I hunt in this area." ”

"Coincidentally, my surname is Yang."

The middle-aged man smiled again and asked, "But this area belongs to the periphery of the West Inner Garden, and hunting is expressly prohibited, don't you know?" ”

Yuan Qing scratched his head embarrassedly, "I know, but I have to support my aunt and sister, I can't help it, I beg my uncle not to sue the official." ”

The middle-aged man was in a very bad mood, but it can be seen that Yuan Qing scratched his head cutely, a simple young man, he liked it very much in his heart, and couldn't help laughing.

"How old are you this year, look at your tall and strong, but your appearance is very young, which makes people a little confused, if you are less than fifteen years old, the court law stipulates that except for capital crimes, everything else can be exempted, and the crime of private hunting is also within the exemption."

Yuan Qing was overjoyed, for the past two years, he had been worried that he would be guilty of poaching rare beasts in the West Inner Garden, and it turned out that he could be exempted from the crime under the age of fifteen, so he could rest assured that he would boldly go in to hunt in the future.

"Uncle, I just turned ten this month."

"Ten years old!"

The middle-aged man screamed, he looked at the wild boar again, he didn't believe that a ten-year-old boy could kill a wild boar?

"Are you really only ten years old? Growing so tall, he can actually fight wild boars, it's impossible! ”

"Uncle, I am a martial arts practitioner, it is normal to be tall, in fact, don't say it's a wild boar, it's a money leopard, I can also fight."

The middle-aged man grabbed his wrist and laughed: "Good boy, I finally caught you, I said!" The leopards in the West Inner Garden are gone, it turned out that you did it, haha! Finally caught the real culprit. ”

Yuan Qing was startled, who is this person! Like an official is not like an official, like a eunuch is not like a eunuch, and even less like a military guard, at this moment, several horses galloped in the distance, and someone shouted on the horse: "Your Majesty is angry, please Your Majesty is angry!" ”

Yuan Qing felt that his nose was about to bleed, it turned out that this uncle turned out to be Emperor Yang Jian, why did he run out alone, and the guards? What about eunuchs? What about the palace maids?

"Uncle, it turns out that you are ......"

This middle-aged man is the founder of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian, the historical Emperor Wen of Sui, it is also embarrassing to say, he ran to the barren mountains and mountains to be forced by his wife Dugu, he met a palace maid in Renshou Palace last autumn, is the daughter of the former general Wei Chi Yuan, he is very fond of this Yu Chi Li'er, but Queen Dugu heard about it, jealousy, took advantage of his opportunity to go to the court today to kill Yu Chi Li'er, Yang Jian was full of grief and anger, ran out of the palace alone, and ran to the valley this side, unexpectedly angered a wild boar that was foraging, It was saved by Yuanqing.

When he heard someone catching up, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he snorted coldly, and let go of Yuan Qing's wrist.

At this time, the man on horseback rushed to him, and Yuan Qing recognized him at a glance, it was Xiangguo Gao Gong, followed by several guards, he was so frightened that he took a step back and turned sideways, lest Gao Gong recognize him.

Gao Gong had already seen him and couldn't help but be stunned, but he couldn't take care of Yuan Qing, so he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, ran to Yang Jian and knelt down, "How can Your Majesty leave the palace alone?" ”

Yang Jian let out a long sigh, "I am a monarch, and I can't even keep a beloved woman, what's the point of this emperor, it's better not to do it!" ”

Gao Gong kowtowed and cried: "Your Majesty is the life of the world, how can you look down on the world for a woman, please think twice." ”

Yang Jian experienced a fright, and the grief and anger in his heart had gone seven points, but his heart was difficult to solve, and a breath of resentment condensed in his heart.

At this time, Gao Gong's words were like an empowerment, which made him suddenly realize that as the Son of Heaven, his every move is related to the world, how can he be like a child, forget the world for a woman.

He finally came back to his senses, in fact, the queen killed Wei Chi and asked him not to indulge in women, he suddenly woke up and was secretly ashamed.

At this time, he suddenly remembered Yuan Qing, so he pointed at him, and said to Gao Gong with a wry smile: "I met a boar on the road and almost died, thanks to this young warrior who rescued me." ”

Gao Gong heard Yang Jian's tone was already reasonable, and he was relieved, and hurriedly looked at Yuan Qing, he felt that Yuan Qing was a little familiar just now, it seemed that he had seen it somewhere? He carefully identified it, saw Yuan Qing's eyes flickering, dodged him, and heard Yang insist that he was a young warrior, and immediately remembered that he was one against six, and suddenly remembered the past five years ago, "It turned out to be you, you are not.... Yuanqing? ”

Yuan Qing wanted to avoid his gaze, but this old Xiangguo had an excellent memory, and he actually recognized himself, he was helpless, he just stepped forward and saluted, "Junior Yuan Qing, see Gao Xiangguo." ”

Yang Jian was stunned, Gao Gong actually recognized this child, and he hurriedly asked, "Gao Xiangguo, do you know this young man?" ”

"Your Majesty, he is the grandson of Mrs. Yang, I have seen him, he has great ambitions, and he is a young genius."

Yang Jian was like listening to a book from heaven, he looked Yuan Qing up and down again, Yang Su's grandson, actually came to hunt to make a living, coarse clothes and old boots, and even his headscarf was about to break, could it be that his minister was so poor?

Gao Gong knew what Yang Jian was strange, he sighed, and said in a low voice: "He is a concubine of Xuangan, his young mother died, he was disgusted by Mrs. Zheng, he was left to raise him by a nurse since he was a child, he ignored it, and he was naturally poor, but this son is a genius, and the minister tested him five years ago, and he wrote the poem 'Rather be a centurion, not a scholar', which makes the minister remember it vividly." ”

'I'd rather be a centurion than a scholar'

Yang Jian repeated it twice, and couldn't help nodding secretly, this young man is very courageous, but it's a pity that he is a concubine, no wonder he is so poor.

Yang Jian himself has a deep understanding that he was born in a noble family, but he was raised by Ajali as a nun, and he was very poor when he was young, he knew that he was born in a noble family, and if his mother was low, he was afraid that he would not even be as good as a child from an ordinary family.

If there is a jealous wife in the family, how can you tolerate a concubine? When his queen heard that the minister's concubine was pregnant, she would even force the minister to go back to have a baby, and the concubine would not be allowed to have children.

Yang Su's father and son are both jealous wives, he has heard of it, but this poor child is only ten years old and has to support the family, he sighed, beckoned to Yuanqing, and asked him to come up, "Do you want me to tell your grandfather and let him treat you well." ”

Yuan Qing hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty misunderstood, grandfather has always cared about Yuan Qing, but Yuan Qing is inspirational in martial arts, and he doesn't want to enjoy wealth and wealth, hunting is actually a kind of martial arts, Your Majesty think about it, how can you wear silk clothes to hunt?" ”

"But you just told me that you hunt to feed your aunt and sister, and that aunt should be your nurse!"

"Your Majesty, the Yang family has a custom, the concubine is five hundred yuan a month, but I have too much food, so the family is poor, because I can't bear the nurse to copy books to support the family, so I came out to hunt, and inadvertently injured the leopard of the West Inner Garden, please forgive me for my sin."

Yang Jian listened to him speak clearly and clearly, only a ten-year-old boy, not only strong in martial arts, but also sharp in thinking, no wonder Gao Gong said that he was a genius, it seemed that it was not simple, he smiled slightly, "I have already said that you are less than fifteen, you will not be held accountable, but don't hunt my rare beasts in the future, those are all things that I have released." ”

Yang Jian was raised by nuns since he was a child, he had Buddha in his heart, and he couldn't bear to kill, so he stocked the rare beasts from all over the world in the West Inner Garden, but he was poached a lot by Yuanqing, he was annoyed in his heart, and he had been investigating the matter, but today Yuanqing saved his life, and he was Yang Su's grandson, so he didn't care.

He smiled again, "I must let your grandfather treat you well, not for you, but for the beast of the West Inner Garden, who saved me. ”

At this moment, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and I saw a few people galloping on horseback, and the person at the head was Yang Su.

"Your Majesty! Please stop being angry. ”

The voice was very anxious, exactly the same as Gao Gong's shout, but at this time Yang Jian had already figured it out, he waited for Yang Su to step forward with his hands behind his back, Yang Su turned over and dismounted, knelt down and begged: "Your Majesty should cherish the dragon body, pity the people in the world!" ”

Yang Jian sighed, got up and helped him up, "You are all loyal ministers, you are thinking of Sheji, today I am confused for a while, Yang Xiangguo, I want to thank you very much, you have a good grandson." ”

Yang Su was stunned, his good grandson, what's going on? He raised his head and saw Yuan Qing at a glance, and was immediately shocked, "Yuan Qing, why are you here?" ”

Yuan Qing hurriedly knelt down again, "My grandson was hunting and practicing martial arts, and I happened to meet the saint." ”

"Not only did it happen by chance, but it also saved my life."

Yang Su saw the wild boar on the ground, and saw the injured horse, he understood, he must have killed the wild boar and saved the saint, he knew about Yuanqing's hunting, but he didn't expect that Yuanqing actually saved the saint's life by chance, he was surprised and happy in his heart, his grandson is really a lucky star in his life, and this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to save the driver has been met by him.

Yang Jian sneered in his heart, he wanted to reprimand Yang Su for sparing his children and grandchildren, but after glancing at Yuan Qing, he changed his mind and snorted at Yang Su, "That's it, I'll save face for you, don't talk about you, you go back and ask yourself."

He felt extremely tired, and stood up with difficulty, "I want to go back to the palace." ”

At this time, more and more armed guards arrived, and the guards came with another imperial horse, Yang Jian took a jade pendant from his body and handed it to Yuan Qing, "With this jade pendant, you can enter the palace at any time, I hope to see you again." ”

After speaking, he turned over and got on his horse and ordered: "Go back to the palace!" ”

"Your Majesty returns to the palace and drives!"

Thousands of armed guards guarded Yang Jian's dragon horse, and marched towards the palace, Yang Su walked in front of Yuan Qing, and saw that he was dressed so roughly, and his heart was sad and pity, so he touched his head and sighed: "It's my grandfather who is wrong and made you suffer." ”

"Grandfather, grandson did not endure hardship, this is a grind."

Yang Su smiled bitterly, "I know it's a grind, but the saint may not think like this, forget it, you go back first!" ”
