The seventh year of the Great Cause is an era that is difficult for most people to know, and they don't know which year it is? Which dynasty is it? Which emperor does it belong to?
But if Yang Guang is mentioned, most of the first words that come to people's minds must be the words "faint king" or "tyrant".
Regardless of the few good things he did in history, it is only said that he conquered Goguryeo three times, resulting in the destruction of countless families and the death of millions of people in foreign lands, and his sins cannot be washed away.
Wrong is wrong, right is right. It cannot be said that a person has done a few good things, he is the biggest good person in the world, and it cannot be said that a person has done a few bad things, he is a wicked person in the world.
Merit and demerit should be judged by others, and merit cannot be offset by merit, nor can merit be judged by merit.
Yang Guang is such a complex character, his merits and demerits are very distinct, but from the perspective of all beings, he should die!
…………………………………………
In the east of Yangzhou City, in an abandoned manor overgrown with weeds, most of the buildings have long been in disrepair, wind and rain erosion, ants and insects have fallen into decay, except for a small stone house with a lonely corner, and the hole-pierced tile roof is sealed by wooden planks, barely able to be used as a shelter.
Today is a rainy day, a rainy winter night to be exact.
The winter in the south is not warmer than in the north, and the air is extremely moisturey, not as dry and cold as the north, but a kind of damp and cold.
This kind of clammy cold penetrates the clothes, fills the clothes and quilts, and the deep cold seems to be implanted in the soul and deep into the bone marrow.
Inside the stone house, two figures shivered from the cold, next to each other, using each other's body temperature to warm each other.
The rain outside the house kept falling, and the rain fell on the roof, "crackling" and making a loud "crackling" sound, and the wind blew the rotten wood in the manor, making a "squeak, squeak" shaking sound.
The two thin figures came closer, and the two pairs of bright eyes looked out of the gloomy room together, wondering, when will this storm stop?
The wind and rain did not hear the voices of the two people, the wind was still urgent, the rain was still sudden, the cold was gusting, the south was already damp, and the stone house could not resist the cold invasion, and water droplets formed in the house, and the two of them were even colder.
This cold, wet and rainy night is long, and there is only a tattered thin quilt wrapped in it, how can it make two eleven or twelve-year-old teenagers warm?
In a trance, the night was boundless, and the two seemed to hear an ethereal singing, and the sound of wind and rain was all covered and suppressed by this singing.
For a moment, both of them forgot about the cold of their bodies and listened to the singing.
A hazy and vague figure came from afar, stepping on the wind and rain, obviously it was a storm, but it couldn't touch the person at all.
The footsteps of the people who came were silent, the grass and rocks, the rotten wood and muddy water, could not stop him from half a step, and could not touch any of his clothes.
A beam of light pierced the night, the stone house was in ruins, and the wooden door that had been hastily repaired with wooden planks was broken, and a man stood like a god and a demon.
The man in blue clothes and black hair just smiled lightly when he looked at the two frightened teenagers.
After a night of rain and rain, the morning sun shines on the city of Yangzhou, which is called Jiangdu County at this time.
There is no war, recuperation, compared with the war-torn years a few decades ago, Yangzhou's prosperity at this time is really like a fairyland on earth.
With the early shops open, many pedestrians wandering the streets, and the morning sun is so beautiful, it's hard to imagine what kind of lamentation this land will be like in a few years.
People hold children, have husbands and wives as companions, and have fathers and elders in front of them, and no one knows what the emperor who is full of spirit and wants to build immortal deeds is thinking?
In a steamed bun shop that opened in the morning, four people were sitting around a wooden table, and the shopkeeper brought a drawer of steaming steamed buns, and immediately two people couldn't stand the temptation, and the monkey grabbed chopsticks in a hurry, holding a white and big meat bun, and hurriedly sent it to his mouth.
The skin of the bun is soft, and the temperature is not low when it is steamed, and when I swallow it, the two of them jump up and down, and quickly drink a mouthful of clear soup, even stick out my tongue, and can't wait to pick up another bun.
The buns are not delicious, and can only be said to be acceptable. In this era, there is a shortage of seasonings, and being able to make such buns is already considered to be the exquisite craftsmanship of this steamed bun shop.
The two of them were like hungry ghosts reincarnated, as if they had never eaten delicious food, shouting delicious food and stuffing it all the time.
On one side of the table, sat a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, not much older than the two, with caring eyes, and from time to time she gave them a meat bun, and occasionally glanced at someone smiling on the other side, and her chopsticks stretched and stretched, as if she wanted to clip a bun for him.
Someone smiled and said nothing, seeing that the buns in the cage drawer were empty one by one, and smiled and asked the store to take another cage, the store was a middle-aged man, and agreed with a smile, bent over and entered the shop.
Looking up, you can see that its banner is written on the bun shop, and the five words "Feng's bun shop" are clearly revealed.
The girl's surname is Wei, her name is Zhenzhen, just an ordinary peasant girl, born with good looks, at a young age, she has seen the slim and beautiful after the long opening.
She was the first girl to be found by Bai Ye, and it was no coincidence that Bai Ye was struck by six thunderbolts, and somehow, he arrived here, and it was in Yangzhou.
Through the natives of this world, he heard some familiar names, such as Cihang Jingzhai, such as Yang Guang, such as Song Que, which made him understand a little bit that this was there, but he had never heard of the names of Concubine Xuan, Shi Qingxuan, Li Shimin, and Wan Wan.
According to his analysis of the information obtained, he should have traveled again, this is the world of Datang Shuanglong, five years before the protagonist appeared, and the place where he is located is Yangzhou, the capital of Jiang.
In the past few months, Yang Guang's tour of Jiangdu ended, the world's troops and horses were mobilized, and grain and grass were raised in various places, and the discerning people of the entire Great Sui Empire understood that there would be a big battle to be fought.
The magnates at the top of the empire know the meaning of this war, their opponents, and even their own plans in their hearts, which have quietly begun to sprout.
After Bai Ye knew that this was there, his interest was even higher, this world was also mysterious and splendid, full of many mysteries, the four strange books, all kinds of people, all kinds of martial arts, all made him happy.
He wants to collect all the four strange books, to kill those who are talented and intelligent, and he wants to continue to pursue immortality in this world.
After all, there were real legends of shattered voids and rising in the sky in this world, which are worth exploring and seeking.
He still feels that the wisdom of one person is not as good as the wisdom of the world, and he is determined to unify this land, regather people's wisdom, and make this world more exciting.
It's just that this time, he wants to meet all kinds of masters and appreciate many characters, so he won't stay in the dark and develop his head, he wants to go out for activities.
Therefore, he was in Yangzhou and decided to take Yangzhou as a starting point, develop first, wait for the collapse of the Great Sui, sweep the south of the Yangtze River, and then attack the north in one fell swoop.
In the ancient city of Yangzhou, his first thought was to find Shuanglong, not because the two were the protagonists, but because of curiosity.
He first found Wei Zhenzhen, a beautiful peasant girl who was well-behaved and sensible, but her life was bumpy and difficult, first sold by his father to others as a concubine, and then was plundered by Yu Wenhua, and finally died with him.
The purpose of Bai Ye's search for her is not only to redeem the girl, but also to understand the reason for Ssangyong from her.
Ssangyong succeeded in finding two eleven or twelve-year-old children, but the two experienced the hardships of the world, they were very mature, and their eyes were bright and clear, revealing an extraordinary temperament.
After eating the steamed buns, Ssangyong was grateful to Bai Ye, but he couldn't figure out what Bai Ye was looking for them to do? I held back my words along the way, and I couldn't speak.
Until Bai Ye asked, "What is the biggest gang in Yangzhou City?" ”
The two of them spoke in unison and replied in a childish voice, "Bamboo Flower Gang!" ”
Bai Ye thought about it carefully, in this life, without Huang Rong's help, he couldn't develop quietly and secretly with Xiangyang as he did back then, so he had to hide in the world first and accumulate strength.
His goal is not the same as that of the family gate valve, so he can't use the power of the door valve family, he can't use their talents, he can only start from the bottom and shake this towering red dust with the power of the people.
Then the local snake and bamboo flower gang will be the first target.
"Xiao Zhong, Ziling, I gave you two tasks, you are also familiar with the city, go and help me gather all the orphans and beggars in the city to the Bamboo Flower Gang station."
Bai Ye touched his chin, and the two little ghosts, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, listened very carefully.
"Attention, I don't want those scoundrels. Remember to be careful, not to cause ****, not to let the officers and soldiers find out. This is five hundred taels of silver, and I wish you success! ”
Bai Ye smiled, took out five hundred taels of silver and handed it to the two, a glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the two, and suddenly disappeared.
Kou Zhong took the silver and started it heavily, his eyebrows were rough, he had a Chinese face, he was young and thin, and he also had a heroic spirit.
"Aren't you afraid we'll run away with this money? How do you believe we can do it? ”
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling glanced at each other, Kou Zhong asked out loud, he and Xu Ziling looked directly at the white night.
"Don't be afraid, I give you money to believe in you, and I let you do it, and I also believe in you. Follow me, and you will use your hands and wisdom to achieve your dreams that you dare not imagine. ”
Bai Ye patted Kou Zhong on the shoulder, and then patted Xu Ziling on the shoulder, silently, a sword qi was put into the two of them, he believed in the two of them, so he gave them life protection.
Kou Zhong was small, his face was serious, Xu Ziling's face was the same, it was the first time they were so valued, and the two of them said in a still immature childish voice: "We will definitely complete the task!" ”
The two turned their heads and left, Bai Ye smiled, shook his head, and under the guidance of Wei Zhenzhen, he went to the Bamboo Flower Gang station.
