Chapter 281: Red Jade Gourd

Li Zao was still in the mourning hall, and there were three more descendants of the Xie family guarding the spirit, although it was already midnight, there were still more than 20 people guarding the mourning hall.

According to the rules of the guardian, Li Zao had to eat and live here for the past seven days, and today was the fourth night, and he was a little physically exhausted.

His wife and children did not need to stay together, they had already gone back to the room.

There was no one to mourn at night, he had been busy for a few days, and he was extremely tired, so he set up his bed early and fell asleep soundly.

The people of the Xie family were also tired from the saddle horse all the way, and they sat there and took a nap.

The relatives and juniors of the Li family couldn't support it for a few days, and they were so tired that they were all over the place.

The maids in front of the spirit guarded it to ensure that the incense and gold paper were continuous.

With Loulanfeng's ability, he can completely break Li Zao's heart, create the illusion that he died of excessive sadness, and achieve his reputation as a filial son.

and then shocked the woman in pink to death in the coffin, and she didn't know it, and she was a hundred, which can be regarded as avenging the three people who died in vain.

However, it was the two of them who instigated the killings outside, and it was useless to just kill them, the killing may continue, and the murderers must be found and disposed of together.

Lou Lanfeng has the experience of invading Pang Peng's consciousness to collect information, and his current cultivation is many times higher than at that time, so he can naturally be more hidden, not to mention that Li Zao is still asleep at the moment.

When Lou Lanfeng's divine sense entered Li Zao's consciousness, he only took a deep breath, as if he was blown by a gust of cold wind, and he was not even awakened.

Memories are like video records, Li Zao's life in his twenties, the number of memories is already massive, originally it was very time-consuming and laborious to search, but the more important the memory or the more recent it happened, it is often stored in a relatively superficial location.

Li Zao's family suffered a great change, and his mother committed suicide, which is undoubtedly a huge event in his life.

And just like searching for related documents, related memories also came flooding in, Lou Lanfeng read them all, and quickly understood the ins and outs of the whole thing, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, it was not a long time since this time came, and only a full hundred years had passed since the relevant events, and then these things happened, which felt weird when I thought about it.

At that time, no one had better luck than Wang Shichong, who was repeatedly beaten by his opponents on the battlefield, but he was always able to turn defeat into victory in the final battle, but instead wiped out the powerful opponent, and finally dominated Henan and became the emperor.

The key reason is that he holds a trump card in his hand: he occupies Luoyang City.

Wang Shichong was originally a Hu in the Western Regions, he joined the army at a young age, and he was promoted by military merits all the way, and he is also a very capable person.

At the same time, Emperor Yang of Sui drove his own expedition to the Turks, encountered difficulties, in the case of the ineffective soldiers and horses of the king, Wang Shichong showed strong loyalty to the Emperor Yang of Sui who was besieged by the Turks in Yanmen Pass, and galloped to the aid of the starry night, which was deeply appreciated by Emperor Yang of Sui.

In addition, he was good at climbing the dragon and the phoenix, and was friendly with many people in the court, and then he was always favored by Yang Guang, and later he was able to command the Jianghuai elite soldiers, and he was able to suppress the judgment army from all walks of life, especially against Li Mi's Wagang army.

Li Mi's Wagang army was full of talents, and at the beginning, the two sides fought more than 100 times without winning or losing, and Wang Shichong's military talent was still good.

But later, he couldn't resist Yang Guang's repeated urgings, and led tens of thousands of troops to force a battle with Li Mi across Luoshui, but was intercepted and drowned more than 10,000 people directly.

After that, he led the rest of the troops to flee back to Luoyang, but the temperature plummeted and the snow fell, and tens of thousands of people froze to death along the way, and finally only more than 1,000 people returned to Luoyang, and the whole army was almost wiped out.

After that, he summed up the lesson and resolutely did not stay away from Luoyang again, so his subsequent development completely revolved around Luoyang City.

Wang Shichong relied on Luoyang's strong financial resources to recover quickly, but after that, he was defeated by Li Mi many times in a row, and finally had to retreat in Luoyang City and hold out.

And Li Mi had no choice but to look at the city and sigh in the face of the strong Luoyang City.

But the final decisive battle still came, and the Wagang army and the hundreds of thousands of Xiaoguo troops of Yu Wenhua were greatly injured after the Battle of Tongshan and fled all the way.

How could Wang Shichong not pick up this cheap, and took the opportunity to choose 20,000 elite soldiers to snipe Li Mi, and defeated Li Mi in just one battle, and at the same time got Li Mi's subordinates Qin Shubao, Cheng Yanjin, Luo Shixin, Pei Renji, Shan Xiongxin and other famous generals, so his subordinates will shine for a while, and the famous ministers will compete for glory.

Of course, at the same time, it also got the countless wealth that the Wagang Army has been fighting in the south and north for so many years, and looting everywhere!

With money, people, and territory, Wang Shichong simply became the emperor.

Wang Shichong was called the emperor, and his relatives and friends congratulated him, but his former close friend Duguji was very dissatisfied.

Wang Shichong can have today, it can be said that half of the credit comes from Dugu Ji, he is in charge of money and food for Wang Shichong, is his shopkeeper confidant, several times when he is on the verge of despair, with strong financial reserves to help him make a comeback.

The relationship between the two is so good that they sleep in the same bed and get out of the same car, and they are almost inseparable.

In troubled times, there are people with money, and there is an army, and the two of them have made careful plans for the safety of money, and most of the wealth that does not need to be used at the moment has been hidden.

The secret of wealth is engraved on a red jade gourd, Wang Shichong has always carried it, wealth is blood, he likes to call it blood gourd.

Wang Shichong insisted on being the emperor, Duguji resolutely opposed it, and the two had serious differences in the choice of the future path!

Dugu Ji thought that Wang Shichong would find it difficult to compete with Li Tang in the end, and called the emperor a self-digging grave.

This is also tantamount to exposing Duguji's idea of separating himself in the short term and submissive to Li Tang in the long term.

Wang Shichong was worried that Duguji would mutiny, and he was even more worried that his countless wealth would be taken away by him, so he assassinated Duguji and his family, but ran away with Dugu Xiude and other two sons.

And the two brothers Dugu Xiude really defected to Li Shimin.

Duguji's judgment was not wrong, Wang Shichong called the emperor and attracted Li Shimin, the king of Tang, who was defeated and captured in only three years, and those famous generals under him also surrendered to Li Shimin.

In order to take care of the feelings of these people, Wang Shichong was only sent to Shu after being captured, and was not executed, and was temporarily imprisoned in Yongzhou, near Chang'an.

No one knew the secret of the blood gourd, and Li Tang didn't even ask about it.

Just when Wang Shichong's family was about to leave for Sichuan, Dugu Xiude, the son of Dugu Ji, assassinated Wang Shichong in one night.

He searched Wang Shichong and his party, but he couldn't find the blood gourd, and he didn't know when the blood gourd had disappeared!

But Wang Shichong told the secret of his wealth to his brother who was distributed together, and originally tried to make a comeback, but his plan to rebel after his death was also discovered, and his whole family was killed on the distribution road, and the secret was broken again.

Where did the blood gourd go?

Naturally, only the descendants of Duguji can ask this question.
