Knowing that the owner of the other blood gold pendant was the current emperor, Yun'er was not as surprised as she imagined. On the contrary, he still pouted - Xuanzong Li Longji was actually the one who held another blood gold pendant? There must be a limit to fooling people. Regardless of whether the sea of blood will really send this small piece of jade pendant to the palace, it remains to be thought about whether the emperor and the ninety-five emperor will look down on this broken jade pendant, and Bacheng is talking nonsense about the big villain in front of him.
"Why?
Tang Ling had expected Yun'er to have such thoughts, and she was not much surprised by her aunt's behavior of waiting for Xingshi to ask for guilt, and added a slightly ridiculous question: "Then it seems that this story doesn't need to continue?"
"What good story can you tell?"
Yun'er squinted at the big villain next to her who "angered" her again, and her face was full of disdain - and the story, to put it bluntly, "Once upon a time there was a mountain, and there was a temple on the mountain", she has already faced similar experiences thousands of times.
Tang Ling pretended to be formal, and sat upright: "Hmph, what this immortal is about to dedicate is the most secret historical fact since the founding of the Tang Dynasty a hundred years ago, if you don't want to understand, just let this history disappear in the torrent of time, and save me the strength to recall the details of the year." β
"You dare?"
With a coquettish reprimand, Yun'er's eyes widened, and two fingers twisted Tang Ling's ears again, this big villain actually teased Aunt Ben again and again, in the words of those literati, "Is it tolerable or unbearable", without giving him some color, I really thought that Aunt Ben was so annoying.
"Say it or not, I'll screw your ear off. β
"Wronged, auntie, aren't you not interested?"
This should have been a cry for mercy from pain, but Yun'er didn't hear any pain from it at all, and decisively exerted a little more strength.
"You can say it, I'll listen to it, anyway, Aunt Ben is bored. β
"That's good, that's good, I say, I say. β
"Hurry up. β
The delicate fingers finally let go, and Tang Ling gently rubbed the ear that had just been ruthlessly ravaged and tortured-
"Well, I'm waiting for the story to begin. β
"It is said that Li Yuan swept through the princes of Zhonglu and established the Tang Dynasty-" Yun'er coughed, and told Tang Ling to start his story immediately, "After many years of fighting for the throne, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, finally became the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty, called Taizong. β
"I know, but what does this have to do with the sea of blood?"
Obviously, Yun'er's impatience made her never be a qualified listener, and before Tang Ling finished the few words that opened the story, she had already interrupted and asked questions, Tang Ling glanced sideways at her aunt and grandmother: "I'm getting ready to get down to business now, don't interrupt, listen patiently." β
"Oh. β
Yun'er stuck out her tongue and didn't ask any more questions, only the pair of pretty eyes still kept flipping, urging and waiting for the next story to develop.
Seeing that Yun'er finally quieted down, Tang Ling continued his "story".
"After Taizong ascended the throne, although the world was peaceful on the surface, there were still many powerful organizations among the people, and they could develop into a hegemon without realizing it. At this time, one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, Lu Guogong Cheng Yanjin, suggested that Taizong secretly contribute by the imperial court to create an organization to restrain these large and small forces. Taizong Zhun played and handed over this matter to Cheng Yanjin with full authority, this organization is the sea of blood. β
When Yun'er heard this, her mouth couldn't help but open slightly in surprise: "Are you saying that the Blood Sea was founded by that Cheng Yanjin?
"Can those storytellers who casually put some wild history romance on their lips believe it? Even if he is a big old man, he is also a big old man with a fine old man. Tang Ling corrected like this, he was laughing at this time, and it was a nostalgic laugh. A memory crept along: a strong man with a bearded face. At that time, the troubled times had just been settled, Tang Ling accidentally visited Chang'an, the capital of the country, and would inevitably go to Cheng Biting Jin's Mansion for a trip, and the latter always let him stay for a few days, and then spare no effort to invite other friends to come over, eat and drink, sometimes it was a day to give up, sometimes it was a few days and nights of all-night drinking, as for the affairs of the DPRK and China, all the resignation, the harm of Taizong to this private nickname "Cheng Fatzi" of the founding general is helpless.
Hearing Tang Ling's words, Yun'er's attention was all attracted to "that" fat man: "Then where do you say he is 'fine'?"
Tang Ling recovered from his memories: "It's just a little clever, in fact, Cheng Biting Jin was born in a reckless manner, and he has long been extremely uninterested in the etiquette of the court, after the establishment of this sea of blood, he resigned from his official position and became a nominal sea master, and the affairs of the organization were handed over to his son to deal with, and he drank wine and ate meat every day, so unhappy." β
Yun'er's face suddenly became strange: "Isn't this a fair dereliction of duty?"
"Exactly. However, Taizong also didn't have a lot of temper with this old subordinate. First, Cheng Biting Jin can be said to be the biggest hero at that time, and at the same time, he is also the founder of the most unpopular city in the court, and he has won the trust of Taizong; second, not only Cheng Biting Jin is good at wine, Taizong is actually good at wine, before Taizong ascended the throne, the two often drank together, and they could even fall asleep together in the garden of their home. To say that they are kings and ministers is better to say that they have been friends for many years. Since Cheng Biting Jin was crowned an official, he was depressed in his heart, but Taizong could see it clearly, so when Cheng Biting Jin proposed this plan, Taizong decisively played it and let him leave the officialdom as soon as possible and live happily. Tang Ling had a smile on her face, remembering that she had met and intersected with this fat man back then, and she also started from the wine table, and couldn't help but add a little more aftertaste.
"What about after Cheng Biting Jin established the Sea of Blood?"
"He set a rule for the sea of blood: 'Anti-heaven and earth, not anti-Tang Dynasty, anti-god and anti-demon not against the Li Dynasty.' 'Anyone who violates this rule, a member of the Blood Sea, everyone can do the opposite, and everyone can punish him. This rule has never been violated to this day, and at the same time, because the sea of blood has been recognized and secretly supported by the imperial court, it has become a first-class force in the world during the reign of Taizong. β
"Then this blood gold pendant was given to Li Shimin by Cheng Biting Gold when the Blood Sea was founded?" Yun'er played with the blood-colored jade pendant in her hand, and suddenly thought of the theme of the story.
"Look at the official and listen to me slowly. Tang Ling seemed to enjoy the process of storytelling, "At that time, the Tang Dynasty was in full swing, and the sea of blood still had to rely on the support of the imperial court to gain a firm foothold. β
"What's going on?" Yun'er was completely attracted by Tang Ling's story at this time, and when she heard that there was a lot of article here, she couldn't help but get excited, and began to ask about the development of the story, but Tang Ling didn't intend to follow the aunt's meaning like this, and complained teasingly: "Alas, after sitting for so long, my shoulder is a little sore." β
"I'll help you rub it. β
Yun'er was quite clever, and rushed behind Tang Ling quite quickly, Tang Ling's mood shifted, and her tone became relaxed: "Use some strengthβoops!"
The scream came from Yun'er's snow-white teeth, and she was "smiling without showing her teeth" at this time: "Is this bite hard?"
"Forehead ......"
Without waiting for Tang Ling to react, Yun'er lay on his back again, with a smile on her face that was warm and gentle, indicating that she was just relieving Tang Ling's soreness: "Is your shoulder still sore?"
"Hmm...... Sit back down, judge, and I'll continue the story. Tang Ling hurriedly made her stand and didn't have to bother her aunt and grandmother and the like.
"The imperial court's support for the sea of blood has been kept secret from the outside world, and since the death of Taizong, the court's support for the sea of blood has also ended without a hitch, fortunately, at this time, the sea of blood can already dominate one side. But at this time, the Tang Dynasty was already uncertain, more than ten years later, Empress Gaozong Wucai seized the throne, called Zetian, changed the dynasty to the Great Zhou, set the capital Luoyang, and persecuted the descendants of the Li family, at this time, since the Taizong period has been unknown since the sea of blood into the eyes of everyone. β
Tang Ling's words made Yun'er's eyes light up, and her intuition told her that Tang Ling's long and long-winded story finally hit the topic: "Did something big happen?"
"Big deal? Of course, it's an earth-shattering event. Tang Ling threw another blank eye at Yun'er, and weakly expressed his dissatisfaction with being repeatedly interrupted, "The current emperor, Li Longji learned about the relationship between the Blood Sea and Li Tang Jiangshan by chance, and found the Blood Sea Lord at that time, and asked them to deal with it and help re-support the Li family to regain control of the country. The contemporary sea lord thought of the relationship between Li Cheng and the two families, so he spared no effort to contribute to Li Longji, and Li Longji also got a blood gold pendant from the blood sea, with this blood gold pendant, so that Li Longji could unconditionally mobilize half of the strength of the blood sea, except for Zhang Yi's brother, forced Zetian to abdicate, and the rebellion of Princess Dingtaiping, on the surface, it was the credit of Li Longji and those courtiers, in fact, if it was not for the blood sea to intervene, there is still another question about who is the master of the country now. β
Hearing this, Yun'er looked surprised again: "That sea of blood is so powerful?"
"This official, frankly speaking, although the sea of blood only used half of its strength at that time, this is not a battle for the Central Plains after all, if it really happens to the chaos in the world, I am afraid that even if the sea of blood will lose all its strength, it will be difficult to reverse the frenzy. β
I have to say that Tang Ling has completely devoted herself to the narration of the story, and because of this, Yun'er still can't recover from this historical secret when Tang Ling said this, and when Tang Ling was silent for a long time, she thought of something, and urged while patting Tang Ling hard: "Go on!"
"Continue what?" Tang Ling was a little puzzled.
"The story of Li Longji's accession to the throne. β
"Oh. Tang Ling finally reacted, "After Xuanzong ascended the throne, more than ten years have passed, and the sea of blood has been at the top of the world, and no one can shake it, and there are only two forces that can barely sit on an equal footing with it, one is 'Underworld' and one is 'Qixia Castle'. They are now known to the world as the 'Three Beings'. Over the years, although some people have been fortunate enough to receive a token from the sea of blood, the blood gold pendant has never been given away by the sea of blood until ......not long ago."
"Not so long ago?"
"Yes, not long ago, there was a small commotion in Guangling County, and Mo Lengyan, the master of the Wild Waves Hall, finally sent the second blood gold pendant of the Blood Sea, which is now hanging in your hands. β
