In the Great Sui, the warriors in the rivers and lakes have no status, and there is only one way to rise, that is, to rely on the big family.

It is precisely because of this that the power of the gate valves in various places is as large as the local government and as small as the streets and alleys of the market.

Cen Zhong was born in Hebei, and was considered a well-known figure in Hebei Lvlin, the head of a local gang, because he offended the Cui clan of Qinghe, he had to come to Daxing, and under the recommendation of his friends, he became a warrior under Yang Ke, the king of Xiangcheng.

He was locked away like a dog by Pang Ben, and no one dared to stop him.

Because Pang Ben is formally established, and Cen Zhong is just a temporary worker under Yang Ke.

In the tent, seeing the people being locked away, Yang Ke sat down in frustration.

He was scared, afraid that Yang Ming would really find something out of Cen Zhong's mouth.

On the contrary, Yang Yan, the king of Changning, looked like he had nothing to do with himself, after all, the two of them were not born to the same mother, and Yang Yan was also happy to see Yang Ming and Shangshu's mansion fall out.

The more fiercely they fight, the better, and they will do no harm to themselves.

In fact, as vicious as Pang Ben, he didn't ask anything from Cen Zhong.

The punishment was also used, and coercion and temptation were also tried, but there was no way.

Cen Zhong is a smart man, and he knows that his only hope for survival is to keep his mouth shut.

Yang Ming came to the camp where Pang Ben was tortured, looked at Cen Zhong, who was covered in blood, and left without saying a word.

On the contrary, Yang Jin was afraid that things would make a big fuss, so he ordered Pang Ben to let people go.

"Why is the second brother so careful?" On the way back, Yang Ming asked with a smile.

Yang Jun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Before coming to Daxing, Daddy told me not to have a conflict with the East Palace, although the third child, you did a really beautiful job tonight, and you really gave my brother a breath of anger, but in the long run, we can't offend the East Palace, otherwise there will be no good fruit to eat in the future." ”

Yang Ming nodded, the other party's concern was reasonable.

The crown prince Yang Yong is the prince, and he will inherit the throne in the future, and when that day comes, Yang Ming's little head is only afraid that Yang Yan will be cut off and kicked as a ball.

"Just look at the fact that the East Palace regards us as enemies right now, and there will be no good fruits to eat in the future," Yang Ming said lightly.

Yang Jun sighed: "So what? can only be a man with his tail between his legs. ”

.......

"You really didn't say anything?"

In the tent, Yang Ke looked coldly at Cen Zhong, who had returned.

"From beginning to end, the villain never said a word," Cen Zhong said weakly as he endured his injuries.

Yang Ke's eyes flickered: "Then why did they let you come back?" ”

"This ......." Cen Zhong broke out in a cold sweat, he knew that his master was suspicious, and a person like himself who knew the inside story was afraid that this time it would be more than lucky.

He hurriedly explained: "The villain guesses that His Royal Highness King Yuzhang is unwilling to ........ with his master."

Before the words were spoken, Cen Zhong looked at his chest in amazement,

I saw a white blade pass through his chest, and then, his mouth was tightly covered by a big hand, and he couldn't help but scream.

"Whether you say it or not, only when you die, this king can feel at ease,"

Yang Ke waved his hand, and with a twist of the handle of the black-clothed samurai sword, Cen Zhong's heart was shattered, and the corpse was dragged away.

Following

The major families distributed in the 100-mile radius of Nanshan have sent convoys to the same destination to greet a bigwig-level figure.

The Empress Dowager of the Old Dynasty, the eldest princess of the Dynasty, the spiritual leader of the patriarchal forces, the biggest reliance of the Yuwen family, and Yang Lihua, the host of this spring outing, is finally here.

The royal family and nobles, and the major wealthy families, all bowed their heads and stood respectfully, looking at the honor guard that could not be seen at a glance.

The camp of the eldest princess was at the center of this spring outing, with 2,000 forbidden guards stationed in the east, west, north and south directions.

According to etiquette, everyone will go to the princess's tent to meet Yang Lihua according to their status.

Yang Ming followed the team of royal relatives, stepped on the long red carpet, and first entered the huge tent like a palace, bowing and bowing.

On the main seat, Yang Lihua was lazily half lying on the chair, her eyes were always on the white cat in her arms, and she waved her hand down without raising her head:

"Okay, all go down and tell the people outside that there is no need to come to see you again, the palace has been on the road for a day, and it is already tired."

As the leader of the sect, Wei Wang Yang Shuang hurriedly said:

"Weichen takes the order!"

Just as everyone slowly retreated, Yang Lihua suddenly said:

"Yang Ming stayed."

Yang Ming chuckled in his heart and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Yang Yin and Yang Chan could only cast sympathetic glances.......

As the second most powerful woman in the Great Sui, even the crown prince Yang Yong did not dare to offend Yang Lihua at will.

After all, at the beginning of the founding of the country, Yang Jian once said: The eldest daughter Lihua was the first contribution to the founding of the Great Sui.

If there was no effort from Empress Yang Lihua in the Northern Zhou Dynasty to protect them, Yang Jian and his wife would only be afraid that they would have been submerged by those political whirlpools to receive boxed lunches.

Yang Ming stepped forward cautiously and said respectfully:

"I don't know why my aunt left her nephew alone?"

Yang Lihua's appearance inherits all the advantages of Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo, even if she is nearly forty years old, but that posture of the country is still unforgettable at a glance.

His husband, Emperor Xuan of Zhou, Yu Wenyun, was also a famous tyrant in history.

You can deny everything about tyrants, but you can never deny the way they look at women.

It can be seen how beautiful Yang Li is.

Bright eyes looked up and down on Yang Ming's body, and the corners of the eldest princess of the Great Sui were slightly upturned, and she said:

"I heard that Grandmother Ling has already picked a family business for you?"

She asked, what was this for? Women, after all, they can't change the nature of gossip, Yang Ming said honestly:

"Yes, my grandmother is a girl from a lonely family."

Yang Lihua nodded, she had a deep conflict with her mother Dugu Jialuo, and she basically didn't have any contact, so she only found out about Yang Ming's matter later.

After being silent for a long time, Yang Lihua said lazily:

"I think....... Inappropriate. ”

That's amazing....... Yang Ming was not surprised, except for Yang Lihua, I am afraid that no one in this world dares to say that the marriage arranged by Dugu is inappropriate.

Yang Lihua said: "Dugu Valve is already a relative of the emperor, and now he is entrenched in Luoyang, and his roots are deep, if he marries you again, won't they want to go to heaven?" ”

Yang Mingleng said: "My nephew is just a small county king, how can he be so capable?" ”

"It's hard to say," Yang Lihua always spoke softly, giving people the feeling that she would never get angry, only to see her frowning and saying:

"The strong press its momentum, and the weak support its branches, I think your marriage is best to look for it outside the gate, which is more suitable."

Saying that, Yang Lihua smiled: "Of course, I just suggest, it's up to you whether you listen or not." ”

It's okay, it's just a suggestion, so I can ignore it.......

Yang Ming said: "My nephew must think carefully. ”

Looking at the figure of Yang Ming leaving, Yang Lihua sighed softly.

Maybe others still know it later, but she has already felt in advance that the battle between the north and the south is already on the line.

A key figure like her, who had experienced the turbulent political struggles of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, had a natural sensitivity to the changes in the imperial situation.

What's more, Yang Yong and Yang Guang are both her own brothers, and he knows them better than anyone else.

She heard that some time ago, Shang Shu's right servant shot Yang Su, and he had already counted the crown prince Yang Yong in front of the two saints, which was a bad signal.

"If you don't pay attention to the felling, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight......."
