() In the eighth year of the Great Cause, at the beginning of the year, the Hengduan Mountains.

"After this mountain, Chengdu is not far away. The man turned his head and smiled at Tang Que, "Chengdu is the land of abundance, a hundred miles in the wilderness, and the products are abundant, you haven't been there yet, have you?"

"Nope. Tang Que shook his head, looking down from this height, he could just see Chengdu City, its huge scale and grand outline, Tang Que was also secretly frightened, and then smiled, "I finally crossed this hundred miles of mountain range, and I must have a good rest when I get to the city." ”

The man smiled slightly, "Let's go, we'd better go to the city after dark." ”

The man's name is Su Liangren, a person from Jiangdu, who likes to wear green clothes and black robes, his handsome face always has a light smile, he is slightly older than Tang Que, Tang Que can't see if he can do martial arts, that is to say, he is either an ordinary person who can't do martial arts, or he has profound skills, far surpassing Tang Que, although there is no basis, but Tang Que feels that the possibility of the latter is greater.

Su Liangren was the first person Tang Que met after walking out of the forest, the two hit it off at first sight, Tang Que had no experience in walking the rivers and lakes, so he proposed to go with him, Su Liangren readily agreed, and the two went all the way west into Shu. Tang Que asked Su Liangren why he wanted to go to Chengdu, Su Liangren just smiled and shook his head, but he naturally knew when he got to the place.

About an hour and a half of trekking, Chengdu is already in sight.

"Chengdu is already so magnificent, I really don't know how majestic the eastern capital of Xijing should be. Tang Que sighed a little, the scale of the city at the end of the Sui Dynasty was far less than that of modern times, but the gray-green city wall made of huge stones as high as five zhang stood in front of him, giving people a strong visual impact.

"There will be a chance to see it. Su Liangren smiled, "I still prefer Jiangdu to Jingdu in Xijing - I don't say this because it's my hometown." Jiangdu is really beautiful. ”

"How can the place that even Sui dìdū visited three times and five times be bad. Tang nodded his head, a glint flashing in his eyes.

"There's a lot of places he wants to go. Su Liangren smiled, "Doesn't he like Goryeo too?"

The Northern Expedition, which began to be prepared last year, was finally launched in the first month of this year, and the whole country was discussing the results of Yang Guang's troops, and the people who thought that the Sui army could win the victory still accounted for the majority, after all, in their hearts, Goryeo was just a small country, and there was no power to resist in the face of the Great Sui who raised the country's troops.

Tang Que knew the result earlier, but he was sneering in his heart, and when he heard Su Liangren's words, he couldn't help but feel a little chill on his lips.

Su Liangren saw it, but did not speak.

"The current emperor is so courageous. Tang Que suddenly sneered, "For the sake of one person's wishes, hundreds of thousands of people will be sent to death." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Su Liangren was stunned.

"The main force of this Northern Expedition to Goguryeo was the government soldiers of the Guanlong nobles. "Tang's shortcomings came to an end, and Su Liangren immediately realized that one of the purposes of the emperor's Northern Expedition was to weaken the Guanlong magnates by foreign hands?

"How can it be justified? Su Liangren muttered, the words came to his lips, and he sighed helplessly.

Tang Que didn't answer, but just set his eyes on the northern battlefield, his eyes were cold, and the corners of his mouth were still smiling.

...............................................................................................................

The two found an inn to live in, naturally it was all money from Su Liangren, from his appearance and clothing, it seemed that he was not short of money, and Tang looked at himself by default, and was embarrassed to find that what he lacked the most seemed to be money.

Because it was late, Tang Que didn't go out to hang out anymore, but drank and chatted with Su Liangren in the inn, there were many people like them, the inn was very human, and a table and oil lamp were set up in the lobby, people sat together in groups of three or five, talking in a low voice, and the shopkeeper was carefully calculating the accounts, and the atmosphere was very good.

Tang Que listened to the battle and found that what people talked about the most was Yang Guang's Northern Expedition.

Indeed, in the eyes of the people, the 1.2 million Sui army was naturally able to capture a small country with a land of no more than a county and no more than 30,000 soldiers, and who would have thought that this battle would be won first and then defeated?

"Once this battle is lost, the imperial court may no longer be able to control the chaos. Tang Que whispered.

"Although the saint is so happy and self-serving, he is diligent in national politics, not obsessed with women, and has the heart to expand the territory. Su Liangren sighed.

"He overestimated himself. Tang Que raised his glass and touched Su Liangren lightly, drank the wine in one gulp, and frowned, "This wine is too unpalatable." ”

"The Northern Expedition of one million and two hundred thousand troops, the amount of grain and grass consumed is astronomical, where is the surplus grain and grass to make wine?" Su Liangren shook his head, "It's good to be able to drink this fake wine mixed with water." ”

"Wine mixed with water? I think it's water mixed with wine. "Tang Que complained, Su Liangren was amused," Ah Que said very much. ”

"Now that I'm in Chengdu, Brother Su can tell me what I'm doing in Chengdu, right?" Tang Que said.

"I can't hide it, I'm here in Chengdu for an old friend. Su Liangren said with a smile.

Tang Que did not interject, but waited for Su Liangren's later text.

"I think Ah Que also has some martial arts, and you can be regarded as a person in the rivers and lakes. Su Liangren said, "Have you heard of Yue Shan?"

"Badaoyue Mountain, I have admired it for a long time. Tang Que was surprised in his heart, but he smiled happily on the surface, he was surprised that Su Liangren's old friend was actually a master of the evil path who had been dominant, could it be that Su Liangren was also a person in the Demon Dao? After all, the era when Badao Yue Mountain was active was also the era when Jing Zhai and yīn were in a-for-tat confrontation, and good and evil were incompatible, and it was hard to imagine that a person in the righteous path could become close friends with a person in the Demon Dao.

"Ming rì is Brother Yue's taboo, my trip is to worship him, by the way, take a look at the little girl back then. Su Liangren said with a smile.

The little girl back then, couldn't it be Shi Qingxuan? Tang Que's eyes lit up, now Shi Qingxuan is about thirteen or fourteen years old, just Lori, not to be missed.

"After worshipping Brother Yue, I have to go to Lingnan. Su Liangren said, Tang Que was shocked.

"Go to Lingnan......?" Tang Que hurriedly asked.

"Hmm. Su Liangren guessed what Tang Que wanted to ask, and nodded, "Back then, Brother Yue was defeated in the hands of Song Que, and finally died of depression, I was not Song Que's opponent back then, and now that I have achieved success, I should uphold his will and fight with Song Que." ”

"Are you sure?" Tang Que asked in a deep voice, and after asking, he immediately reacted that he had asked a stupid question, and he had to smile bitterly.

"The master of the world, who dares to say that he has the certainty of defeating Song Que?" Su Liangren smiled, "Do your best, just listen to the destiny of heaven." ”

Song Que...... Tang Que sighed in his heart, how long would he have to cultivate before he could reach his realm?

You have to start practicing martial arts from a young age in order to have all the achievements, but you are a twenty-one-year-old Taiyīn secret record, and now you are almost twenty-four, and you are only at the second- or third-rate level in the rivers and lakes, can you really have the day when you become a top master? Tang Que couldn't help but feel a little gloomy when he thought of this, and he drank a glass silently, but he didn't say anything.

Even if you are confident that you can make a name for yourself without relying on martial arts, it is a pity after all.

"Brother Su, do you think I can still have a chance to become a master?" Tang Que unconsciously set his eyes on Su Liangren.

Su Liangren smiled, stretched out his hand and patted Tang Que's shoulder, "Ah Que, you have a great future." ”
