The footsteps of the mansion, accompanied by the firelight, the figures of the soldiers holding the long soldiers slowly pushed to the mansion in front, in the sound of the shaking of the nail leaves, behind the high courtyard wall, four scholars carried the bookshelves on their backs, stumbled and ran across the corridor, shouting loudly, pushing open the door of a room in front.

"Yue Guogong!!"

The door was pushed open, and the dim light swayed in the room, and the neatly dressed old man held a book and sat on the bookcase.

Hearing the words of the four people, he raised his eyes, saw that it was them, smiled, and stretched out his finger to the nearby tables and chairs, which were not as majestic as usual.

"Come and sit down. ”

The four of them held their knees to breathe, and one of them pointed outside: "Guogong, we won't sit, sit again, I guess there will be no chance to sit again in the future, outside.... ..... outside"

Wang Feng pushed him and grabbed the conversation.

"Guogong, there are a lot of soldiers from outside, and they are probably here to arrest you. ”

Over there, Yang Su just smiled, didn't answer, closed the book and got up, patted Wang Feng's shoulder, swept his gaze over the faces of the four people, and pursed his lips.

"You have been under the old man's door for a while, but unfortunately there is no chance for you to get ahead, I am really a little sorry, I am afraid that you will be implicated. ”

"I'm sorry. ”

Yang Su repeated, walked to a bookshelf, and from the small door of the compartment below, a heavy package was turned out, and the sound of collision inside could be heard.

"The old man can't promise in the future, take this bit of wealth, how can the four of you have no worries about food and clothing in the future, and it will not be in vain to follow the old man. ”

The four of them looked at each other, slowly stretched out their hands to take the package, there were tears in their eyes, flickering in the firelight, Wang Feng took a deep breath, and his voice was a little choked.

"Guogong, my four brothers went all the way from Chen Chaonanxiang to Chang'an, went through hardships and sorrows, and in the end they achieved nothing, and never thought that they could be loved by Guogong...... Today, I'm not leaving!"

The other three had red eyes and nodded in unison: "Don't go!"

"Let's go. ”

The old man looked at them, shook his head, and pushed the four of them to the door: "You four are doing something with me, and you don't have more than four heads left." ”

Thinking of the bloody picture, the fourth scholar subconsciously touched his neck, and almost at the same time shivered, Ma Liu, Zhang Qi, and Zhao Fu pulled their brothers, hesitated, raised their hands with tears in their eyes, and arched heavily.

"Guogong, take care!"

"We're leaving!"

The four of them looked back at the old man who was still under the eaves in four steps and two times, turned around and bowed again, stuffed the package into the bookshelf, walked quickly to the side door of the courtyard, pulled out the door bolt, and as soon as he opened the door, the metal cold spear head stabbed outside and hit the door in front of the four people.

"No one in the mansion can leave!"

There was a loud shout, a moment, ten ..... The figure of the Baidao soldier crossed the threshold and rushed into the courtyard, and soon the entire mansion gradually became chaotic.

The old man in the study in the atrium walked out of the door again when he heard the movement, and under the eaves of the lantern, the black-pressed soldiers pressed four figures over.

Ma Liu trembled and raised his hands above his head, squeezing out a smile.

"Guogong, we didn't make ......"

"Yang Su, take the edict!"

The soldiers around the atrium crowded the corridor and eaves, and under the eaves of the promenade in the front yard, Yuwen Chengdu walked out in a row, and opened a scroll of holy decrees in his hands.

"The edict of the Son of Heaven said, there is Yang Su, who knew the first emperor at the end of the year, and the contribution to the establishment of the Great Sui is indispensable, but you are the prince of the country, do not think about the family and the country, accumulate wealth and dictatorship, deceive the Son of Heaven, arbitrarily and arbitrarily, and have a personal relationship with the general in the army, there is a suspicion of rebellion, as a person in the Tao, he is not righteous and holds the country, and he uses human corpses to refine puppets, and the heavens are angry and people complain ......"

"Shut up!"

Yang Su shouted majestically, and the sound shook the surrounding house tiles, causing the vigilant soldiers around him to subconsciously take a step back.

The old man under the eaves pursed his mouth, his gray beard stroked slightly in the wind, closed his eyes, and then opened them: "Wait for the errand to do something, the old man will not embarrass you, if you want to take the old man, let Yang Guang come over." ”

"Hmph. ”

Yuwen Chengdu has some experience, the shock just now quickly calmed down, the gilt boring in his hand was on the ground, he took a step forward, and shouted: "Yue Guogong, you have no chance!"

The voice fell, and a row of gun-wielding soldiers in front stepped back, and the comrades carrying copper basins in the back quickly stepped forward and pounced on the dark red blood water rippling in the basin.

Ten water curtains poured into the air, however, the moment they flew away, Yang Su just flicked his wide sleeves, and the black dog blood that pounced on him instantly flew back upside down, splashing on the faces of the soldiers, making him embarrassed.

"The old man's cultivation of the Dao is great, how can you wait for you to know it. ”

Over there, Yuwen Chengdu was stunned, looked at the dog blood all over the ground, and turned his head slightly and whispered to a soldier under his command: "I will delay here, you quickly go to find Your Majesty and call the national teacher!"

The soldier nodded, quietly retreated, and the vacant position was quickly filled by the rest of the soldiers, Yuwen Chengdu kicked the tail of the pole, held the long soldier in his hand, and shouted violently with blood: "By Your Majesty's order, capture Yang Su!"

"Kill!"

With a kick under his feet, he rushed straight to the eaves of the study, and the soldiers around him shouted in unison, and the long soldiers swarmed up.

.......

In the night, a knight ran wildly on the street, found a restaurant not far from Baiguanfu Street, jumped off his horse, ran upstairs, knocked on the door of one of the rooms, and whispered a few words to the eunuch who poked out his face, who nodded and walked to the seat, and whispered the news from the Guogong Mansion.

"Your Majesty, the black dog blood doesn't work, then Yang Su shouted for His Majesty to go and ...... in person."

...... Leaning on the railing, looking at the scholar in the window..... When will you be nominated on the list...... Don't forget the Wind and Dust Girl in the Red Dust Pavilion......

The flowing candlelight, the soft female singing, accompanied by the swaying long sleeves fell, Yang Guang, who was sitting in the seat, squinted his eyes, got up suddenly, and walked straight to the door with his hands in his hands, and the anxious eunuch and the guards hurriedly followed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, where are you going?"

"It's going to be that Yang Su!"

Once upon a time, when he first ascended the throne, the originally kind Yue Guogong changed into a person, just like Cao Mengde of the Han Dynasty, he was out of breath and almost gave up on himself.

'Don't you dare to face this old dog, wouldn't it seem cowardly!'

Hugging forward, the emperor walked straight through a street, kicked his robe and walked into the Guogong Mansion, and without waiting for the guards to come up, he pushed the soldiers who were blocking the way in front to one side, passed through the dense soldiers, and when he came to the atrium, far away, a burly figure flew upside down and hit an eaves pillar under the eaves.

There was a loud bang, the pillars were broken, the entire eaves collapsed, and the surrounding guards shouted one by one, and used their bodies to build up the top of the human wall to protect the emperor.

The tiles fell to the ground with a clatter, shattered, and in a cloud of smoke and dust, Yang Guang didn't look at the mess at his feet, and continued to move forward, looking at the old man in front of the study opposite.

"Yue Guogong, I'm here!"

"It's good to come!" the old man threw a soldier who wanted to sneak attack to the ground, patted the dust on his hands, stepped out of the eaves, and spoke slowly.

"The old man followed the first emperor to conquer the great Sui Dynasty, born and died, first destroyed the Northern Qi, and then died in the Chen Dynasty, you can ascend to the throne, and you also have a credit to the old man, the two dynasties are from the dragon, how can you not deserve the honor?

"Hugh wants to mention my father, if he is here, I am afraid that I will be the first to behead you when I see you arrogant!"

The wind blew through the courtyard, and the old man who walked around grinned and nodded: "Okay, then come and kill the old man!"

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

Yuwen Chengdu pushed open the collapsed eaves, saw that the figure of the old man on the opposite side suddenly turned into a blur, and the weapon in his hand was thrown out, and there was a bang, and the moment the long soldier bounced into the sky, he rushed close to the emperor and rushed towards Yang Su, who was rushing to the opposite side, fit and crashed into it, and the surrounding soldiers also went crazy and seemed to rush over.

The moment a soldier bumped into the old man and bounced away, more figures stabbed with guns in layers, were blocked by the air, and flew back backwards one by one.

Yuwen Chengdu, who was on the front, had bloodshot eyes, and the tiles under his feet were crushed, and the emperor who was protecting him pulled out the sword at his waist with a bang, and let out an angry roar, crossed Yuwen Chengdu's side, and stabbed at the old man who was congested by the soldiers.

Poof-

At a certain moment, time seemed to slow down at this moment, the tip of the sword pierced through the cloth, and the sharp sword body tore through the flesh and blood, squeezing out countless beads of blood, pouring out.

Warm blood splashed on Yang Guang's face, looking at the hilt of the sword in his hand, slowly extending to the sword body that had submerged into the old man's chest, his gaze moved up in disbelief, looking at Yang Su's face, drop by drop of blood overflowing the corner of his mouth to the white beard.

For some reason, there was no hint of joy.

"Yue Guo Gong...... You ....."

"Your Majesty. ”

Blood gushed out of the wound one by one, Yang Su opened his lips, revealing his red teeth, and nodded with difficulty, with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty...... Da Sui will be handed over to you in the future. ”

The old man's eyes looked at the emperor, his figure staggered, he took two steps back, and his eyes gradually looked up into the night sky, and in the distance, there was a bright lamp fluttering, like a star, hanging in the sky.

Once upon a time, he was still in his prime, and his brother also traveled a long distance to lead the army to the country of Qi under such a night, and in a blink of an eye, the surrounding enemy countries were destroyed, the former enemies were gone, and the respected brother also left, and he had become a man of gorgeous hair from the prime of life......

I can finally unload my burden, and the road of this country will be handed over to the younger generations.

Looking at the fluttering light in the night sky, it seemed to guide him to fly over, and saw his brother as if he had seen him for the first time, dressed in a robe, and smiled at him gently.

"Under Yang Jian!"

"Yang Su!"

"Haha, I can't imagine that you and I have the same surname, so it's better to call me brothers and fight Northern Qi together!"

......

In the last vision, the old man's figure fell heavily into a pool of blood, looking at the floating light, and smiled slightly.

"I want to go with my brother. ”

"Guogong!"

The four scholars who were in custody sat on the ground and cried, struggling to pass, while there were also voices crying, and the gray old woman squeezed away the soldiers, threw herself on the motionless old man on the ground, howled and cried, and was picked up by the soldiers and dragged to the backyard.

Yang Guang took a breath, his eyes somehow, became moist, and he was about to ask someone to collect the corpse, when a strong wind suddenly blew behind him, and the soldiers retreated one after another, and saw a scholar coming, and every time he walked, the red lantern under the eaves turned white, and the original Lantern Festival festive paper-cut also turned pale.

"National Teacher!"

The emperor hurriedly threw down the sword in his hand to meet him, and a smile bloomed on his face: "The national teacher is one step late, you didn't see me, how did you punish ......?"

"Your Majesty, let the soldiers go out. ”

Lu Liangsheng looked at the pool of blood, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he passed the emperor who was excited to tell with an expressionless face, and approached the old man on the ground.

The surrounding soldiers retreated, and even the four scholars on the ground were taken away, Yang Guang noticed the look of the national teacher, and called in a low voice: "National teacher?"

Smack-

Lu Liangsheng turned around, raised his hand, and slapped Yang Guang's face with a crisp sound.

"National teacher?!you-"

Before the emperor could react, another slap came and slapped on the other side's face, Yang Guang was stunned, and he stood at a loss, watching the expressionless scholar pick up the old man's body and walk to the main hall of the atrium.

"Your Majesty. ”

Lu Liangsheng stood under the eaves and stopped, went straight into the hall, put the old man in his arms on the table, closed the old man's empty eyes, and his voice was transmitted outside.

"These two slaps were for the first emperor and the Duke of Yue. ”

Outside, the wind stopped.
