In the fourth year of Renshou, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui succeeded to the throne and changed the name of the country.

After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he was very happy, he made many expeditions outside the territory, and he was poor and extravagant, built palaces and courtyards, went out to find hardship, and indiscriminately levied harsh taxes, which made the people of the world miserable, and even thieves rose everywhere.

Yangzhou in July, there are no fireworks in March, and there is no autumn wind in October, this is the time of midsummer, there is no delicate tenderness in the past, only violent and unrestrained.

During the day, the scorching sun of Yangzhou City seems to be about to bake the earth, but at night in Yangzhou, there are dark clouds and lightning and thunder, and the roaring thunder resounded through the world, and the lightning with the thickness of an arm filled the sky like a swimming dragon.

The wind is blowing and the heavens are roaring. The clouds were thick and the thunder was in the sky, but there was not a drop of rain, but it just made people feel heavy inside, like a boulder pressing down on their chest.

Suddenly, a golden pillar of light pierced through the thick black clouds, like golden sunlight, illuminating the night, and then a golden streamer of light swept across the sky like fireflies, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The golden streamer was so dazzling in this dark night that the people who saw this scene in the land of Kyushu subconsciously rubbed their eyes, thinking that there was a hallucination.

Of course, the first to react was the family in Yangzhou City, because many people clearly saw that the golden streamer fell from the sky, and the final place of arrival was officially the direction of Yangzhou City.

The golden streamer crossed the sky and fell into Yangzhou City, and the dense dark clouds that were originally shrouded in the sky above Yangzhou City, the thunder and lightning dissipated, and it was replaced by a bright moon and bright stars.

Strange treasures fell from the sky in Yangzhou City!

At this moment, all the people in Yangzhou City who saw the starry sky vision flashed with such a realization in their hearts, and after the enlightenment, it was endless fire.

"Hurry up, block the city gates, and search them one by one."

"The chief manager has an order, whoever finds a strange treasure will be promoted to three levels and rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!"

The first to react was the governor of Yangzhou, who directly mobilized the city gate guards to start searching the whereabouts of the treasure door to door.

Of course, in addition to the governor of Yangzhou, there are many big families, and the gang forces are secretly searching, but compared to the governor of Yangzhou, they block the city gate with great fanfare and search door to door. Other forces are secretly searching, at least on the surface, they dare not compete with the government.

"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”

"People inside, hurry up and open the door!"

At this time, in an overgrown abandoned manor in the east of Yangzhou City, two sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys were awakened by the rude knock on the door of the soldiers outside.

"Xiaoling, you go and open the door, I don't know if it's that bastard so late, disturbing people's dreams."

A voice still with a child's voice sounded, calling out to another teenager in a daze.

"Oh, got it, I'll check it out!"

The boy called Xiaoling, after hearing the words of the boy with a voice, answered, and then stood up with some friction and walked towards the door.

It is about two thugs living in this abandoned manor, whose parents were killed by thieves during the war and became orphans without a father or mother.

The two boys happened to meet each other and were like-minded, so they depended on each other and became brothers from then on. The older Kou Zhong is seventeen years old this year, and the younger one is named Xu Ziling, who has just turned sixteen.

In the dark, Xu Ziling got up from the mat and was about to open the door, who knew that as soon as he took two steps, he felt as if he had stepped on something, and couldn't help but look down.

When he bent down to pick up the artifact on the ground, he found that it was a palm-sized gossip mirror, and the gray mirror body was covered with cracks, and he was dizzy when he saw it.

The appearance of the gossip mirror made him very suspicious that he could break it with a little force.

"I don't know who Xiao Zhong came from."

Xu Ziling looked at the worn-out and broken gossip mirror in his hand, and thought to himself.

He suspected that this gossip mirror was probably from someone Kou Zhong had come from, but when he saw that it was worthless, he threw it on the ground at random.

Unlike his good brother Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling likes Taoist things more, so he took the gossip mirror in his hand and did not throw it away again.

"Bang! Boom! ”

"Open the door!"

Just when Xu Ziling hesitated for a moment, the knock on the door outside the house sounded again, mixed with a rude and impatient urging.

"Bang!"

The dilapidated door of the house was opened by Xu Ziling, and three soldiers of the city gate wearing armor and knives came into view, looking at him impatiently.

"Three military masters, I don't know what to do with finding villains?"

"Xiao Zhong, hurry up, a military master is here!"

The bright armor with a cold luster made Xu Ziling smart, and then shouted loudly to Kou Zhong, who was still sleeping in a daze behind him.

"What?"

"Is there a military master here?"

Kou Zhong, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up after hearing Xu Ziling's loud call, quickly got up from the shabby mat on the ground, ran to Xu Ziling's side, and kept nodding to the three city gate soldiers.

It's not that he wants to, but the soldiers of the city gate are definitely big people who can't be offended for a little gangster like them who rely on taking sheep to make a living.

These little gangsters, to put it bluntly, are all people who beg for a living under the soldiers of the city gate, and if they offend these soldiers, they will suffer from flesh and skin, not to mention, the boss above their heads is estimated to torture them fiercely in order to please each other.

Therefore, whether it was Kou Zhong or Xu Ziling, they all stood aside honestly in the face of the soldiers at the city gate, and they didn't dare to say anything.

The soldier in the lead glanced at the two casually, and then asked directly.

"Did you see a golden light falling, or did you find anything special?"

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were at a loss when they heard the soldier's inquiry, the two of them got up early all day in the past two days in order to make up enough money for Boss Yan's tribute, and slept as soon as they came back, so they didn't know what was going on outside.

The leading city gate soldier couldn't help frowning when he saw the blank expressions of the two.

These people were asked to find the treasure from above, but they didn't know what the treasure looked like, and even when the treasure landed in the sky above Yangzhou City, it had already converged on the vision, so if they wanted to find it, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Of course, he didn't think that the treasure that fell that day would fall into the hands of the two thugs, so he just asked according to the usual questions.

"Huh?"

"Go in and search!"

It's just that when the leading soldier saw the hole-sized hole in the roof of the dilapidated house behind Kou Zhong, the expression of disdain disappeared and ordered the two soldiers behind him.

Seeing the hole in the roof, a trace of fire flashed in his heart inexplicably, and he couldn't help but wonder if he was really favored by God and could find the Heavenly Treasure.

The soldier in the lead, with inexplicable excitement in his heart, flashed a cold glint in his eyes, and his right hand holding the long knife became even harder. I have already made up my mind that as long as I can really find a strange treasure, then whether it is the two gangsters in front of me or my two subordinates, they must die.

Kill them, flee Yangzhou City with the treasure, and then the treasure is in hand, whether it is to take refuge in the anti-king, or others, it is better than the captain of the small soldiers in Yangzhou City.

As for handing over the treasure, he never thought about it, because he knew better than anyone else that his superiors were greedy and ruthless, and if he handed over the treasure, he would definitely be wiped out.

It's just that all this must be based on the premise of getting treasures.

The captain of the soldier didn't know that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had been able to survive in this troubled world so far, in addition to being clever and knowing how to read words and colors, they were also extremely sensitive to danger.

As soon as the killing intent in the heart of the soldier captain rose, it was sensed by the two of them, and they glanced at each other, and they could see the inexplicability and confusion in each other's eyes.

The captain of the soldiers didn't notice this, and when the two soldiers behind him entered the house to rummage, he pretended to inadvertently see the hole in the roof, and then seemed to stare at the two of them casually and asked.

"Your house is broken enough, and the big hole in the roof has been around for a long time, right?"
