Chapter 21: Xu Ziling and Concubine Xuan

If he could, Yang Ming also wanted to treat Yang Jier as an innocent sister all the time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But in the past two years, their status has changed dramatically.

Yang Ming has changed from a son of Yang Guangyi who originally had an unknown origin and no powerful position to His Royal Highness the Righteous King who has a heavy military power in his hands.

And Yang Jier, the princess favored by Yang Guang, has now fallen to the point of being a princess of the dead country.

Even if these identity changes are not mentioned, Yang Ming can no longer regard Yang Jier, who is now seventeen years old, as an ignorant little girl.

"Jill, I'm not the royal brother I used to be. But I can guarantee that whether it is your father or the rest of the Great Sui Imperial Family, you can live like an ordinary person in the future. ”

"Brother Huang...... Is Da Sui really not saved?"

"Of course the Great Sui can still be saved! It's just that your father has already lost the hearts of the people of the Great Sui Imperial Family, so the emperor of the Great Sui Empire can only let a more suitable person be the emperor. ”

"When the imperial brother becomes the emperor in the future, will he let his father be the emperor?"

Although Yang Ming didn't plan to be the emperor himself at all, he still nodded when he saw that Yang Ji'er's eyes were full of anticipation.

Yang Ji'er lowered her head, buried her little face in Yang Ming's chest and whispered.

"Thank you, Brother Huang...... I also know that my father has done a lot of wrong things, but he is my father after all, and I have always been worried that I will never see my father again......"

If Yang Ming hadn't come to this world, after Yang Guang went south to Jiangdu, Yang Ji'er would indeed never see Yang Guang again.

But now Yu Wenhua, who dared to risk the world's condemnation to kill Yang Guang, has died in the hands of Yang Ming, plus the western capital Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang are still in the hands of the Great Sui royal family, I am afraid that there is no thief in the world who dares to kill Yang Guang, the emperor.

Although he has experienced some twists and turns, now he has finally reconciled with Yang Ji'er, Yang Ming was about to take out the gift he had prepared, but Yang Ji'er suddenly broke free from his arms and took two steps back.

"Brother ...... Emperor"

Yang Ji'er half-bowed her head. He said with a slight flush on his cheeks.

"The little sister was too excited just now, if the royal brother didn't have any other instructions, the little sister would have retired first. ”

Seeing Yang Ji'er's shy appearance, although Yang Ming had the intention to tease her, he still nodded and said.

"It's not early, I'm going back to Master Pei's mansion. If Jill and Concubine Wei encounter something difficult to solve. Just send someone to me. ”

Yang Ming sat in Chang'an City, and with the full assistance of Pei Ju and Dugu Valve, he soon won the allegiance and support of most of the gate valve families in Guanzhong.

Although the Guanzhong Gate Valve Family is also part of the Guanlong Noble Group, the Guanzhong Gate Valve Family took the great crime of rebellion and dedicated Chang'an City to Li Yuan, but Li Yuan did not hesitate to abandon Chang'an City and the Guanzhong Gate Valve Family, and the Guanzhong Gate Valve Family naturally could not be stupid enough to continue to support Li Yuan.

Although the Li family lost the support of the Guanzhong gate lord family, Li Yuan's father and son did not collapse, and after returning to Taiyuan, Li Yuan ordered Li Shimin to lead the Xuanjia elite cavalry and 50,000 troops to attack the Liang Shidu that occupied Shuofang County, Xiazhou.

Liang Shi is a member of the wealthy family of Shuofang County, and he serves as an eagle general in this county. However, in the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, he killed Tang Shizong, called the prime minister, and joined forces with the Turks to jointly oppose the Sui, according to Diaoyin, Honghua, Yan'an and other counties, and called the emperor, the country name Liang, Jianyuan [Yonglong].

The Eastern Turkic Shibi Khan named him the Great Viga Khan and the Son of Heaven.

At the beginning of Li Yuan's father and son's army in Taiyuan, because Liang Shidu and Li Yuan both recognized the Eastern Turkic Shibi Khan as their father. Therefore, Li Yuan and Liang Shidu, two brothers, did not attack each other.

Now the Eastern Turks have been swept away by the Western Regions Protectorate, coupled with the failure of the Li family to capture Guanzhong. In order to increase his territory, Li Yuan slashed the butcher's knife at his own brother Liang Shidu.

It is only the beginning of the fourteenth year of the great cause, and Li Shimin's subordinates do not have commanders and generals such as Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, and Wei Chigong.

But Li Shimin himself has a good command talent, plus the 3,000 monks sent by Xuanjia Jingcai and Cihang Jingzhai, in just two months, Li Shimin led an army of 50,000 to break the Liang division, and under the pressure of his army, the Liang division was killed by his cousin Liang Luoren. After occupying the territory of Liang Shidu, the strength of the Li family rose sharply and became the largest force in Hebei.

In order to quickly enhance the strength of the Li family, Li Shimin had just swept away the Liang division, and Li Yuan sent Li Jiancheng to guard Shuofang County, so that Li Shimin could continue to lead his troops north to attack Liu Wuzhou.

Liu Wuzhou was born in a wealthy family, and was brave and good at shooting when he was young. After marrying a hero, his brother Liu Shanbo often scolded and humiliated him, so Liu Wuzhou left home for Luoyang and defected to the servant Yang Yichen.

From the eighth year of the Great Cause to the tenth year of the Great Cause, during Yang Guangsan's expedition to Goguryeo, Liu Wuzhou was recruited for the Eastern Expedition and was promoted to the captain of Jianjie for his military merits.

The Eastern Expeditionary Division was returned, and Liu Wuzhou returned to Mayi and served as the captain of Yingyang Mansion.

In the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Liu Wuzhou killed Wang Rengong, the Taishou of Mayi, opened a warehouse to help the poor, galloped across the territory, won more than 10,000 soldiers, and called himself Taishou.

In order to gain a foothold, he sent emissaries to attach himself to the Eastern Turks.

Chen Xiaoyi and Hu Ben of Yanmen County joined forces to recruit Liu Wuzhou and besieged him in Sangqian Town.

Liu Wuzhou invoked the Eastern Turkic cavalry to attack the Sui army, Wang Zhibi was defeated and killed, Chen Xiaoyi ran back to Yanmen, was killed by his subordinates, and dedicated the city to Liu Wuzhou.

Liu Wuzhou took advantage of the situation to attack Loufu County and enter Fenyang Palace.

In order to obtain further support from the Eastern Turks, Liu Wuzhou presented the captured palace maids of the Fenyang Palace to the Eastern Turks, and the Eastern Turks Shibi Khan presented him with a war horse.

Liu Wuzhou then strengthened his troops, captured Dingxiang, and returned to Junmayi.

In order to support the local separatist forces, the Eastern Turks canonized Liu Wuzhou as [Dingyang Khan] and sent him [Wolf Head].

To put it simply, Liu Wuzhou, like Li Yuan and Liang Shi, recognized the Eastern Turkic Shibi Khan as his father.

But as soon as Shibi Khan's father died, Li Yuan, a disobedient and unfilial son, first killed his brother Liang Shidu, and then aimed the butcher's knife at his younger brother Liu Wuzhou.

Li Yuan was bent on killing his brother and killing his brother to increase the Li family's territory and strength, but Li Shimin not only did not stop Li Yuan, but also became Li Yuan's accomplice.

At the same time that the Li family's western expedition to the north was greatly strengthened, Yang Ming also integrated the family soldiers handed over by the Guanzhong Gate Valve family in Chang'an City, and obtained a total of 40,000 elite soldiers.

Coupled with the 110,000 army led by Chen Botu, the available troops in Guanzhong increased to 150,000, and Yang Ming ordered him and Chen Botu to lead 50,000 Xiaoguo troops to attack Bashu at Pei Ju's request.

Bashu is not only the place where the evil king Shi Zhixuan and the holy daughter Bixiu of Cihang Jingzhai lived in seclusion. It is also the place where Pei Ju plays the role of a virtuous monk,

Pei Ju's younger brother, Fat Jia Anlong, the sect leader of the Heavenly Lotus Sect, is a big businessman in Bashu, and has a strong network of contacts and relationships in the land of Bashu.

It can be said that Bashu is the base camp of the evil king Shi Zhixuan's power.

Although Xie Hui's Duzun Fort is dominant in the Bashu family, with Pei Ju's martial arts and the 50,000 Xiaoguo army led by Chen Botu, it is not difficult to take Bashu.

While the general trend of the world is constantly turning. Something interesting is also happening on the rivers and lakes.

In the original work, the two main protagonists, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, set up the Shuanglong Gang to defeat the attack of Shen Xingfa and the Haisha Gang, and the two became hot characters in the rivers and lakes.

It didn't take long for Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to go to Jiujiang to assassinate the young director of the Iron Cavalry Society, and for a while, the two of them seemed to have become the protagonists of the rivers and lakes, which attracted the attention of everyone in the rivers and lakes.

Although Yang Ming heard these news, he didn't care at all.

After all, no matter how famous Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are in the rivers and lakes, now that the essence of the Evil Emperor's relics has been equally divided between Yang Ming and the four of them, as long as Yang Ming takes the heirloom jade seal and clan bi in his hands, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling can only increase their skills step by step in this life.

Even Song Que, a flawless demon, has been squatting in the Knife Sharpening Hall and practicing hard. It wasn't until he was fifty years old that he had the skills of a grandmaster.

Even if Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's martial arts training talent was not under Song Que, by the time they were fifty years old and cultivated to become a grandmaster, the Great Sui Troubled Era had already been unified by Yang Ming for twenty years.

In May of the fourteenth year of the Great Cause, the evil king Shi Zhixuan killed Xie Hui, the lord of Duzun Fort, and Xie Wenlong, the son of Xie Hui, sacrificed Bashu to surrender to Chen Botu's 50,000 army After the news reached Chang'an, Yang Ming, who had been in Chang'an for half a year, finally couldn't bear the loneliness and left Chang'an alone and headed towards Luoyang, the eastern capital.

And the reason why Yang Ming went to Luoyang was that it was rumored that Ning Daoqi, a true person in the rivers and lakes, had appeared in Luoyang with the heirloom jade seal and the clan. will hand over the jade seal of the country to the current generation of the holy lady of Cihang Jingzhai Xuan.

At this time, Shi Feixuan had already visited Du Fuwei, Li Zitong, Shen Xingfa and even Song Shidao of the Song family in Lingnan under the pseudonym Qin Chuan. There are also Dou Jiande, Luo Yi, Wang Bo and others in Hebei who have asked the lords of these forces about the way to be kings.

However, Concubine Xuan has not yet asked Yang Ming, who occupies Guanzhong, and Li Yuan's father and son, who are constantly expanding their territory in Hebei.

At this time, Concubine Xuan wants to use the jade seal and clan bi in Luoyang to elect the emperor on behalf of the heavens, whether she will choose Yang Ming or Li Shimin, the answer is, of course, not to ask.

One man and one horse traveled eastward, and three days later, Yang Ming crossed Hangu Pass and came to Luoyang City.

Now Yang Xuyan has used his means. Becoming the second master of Luoyang City after Wang Shichong, the shadow assassin of the Demon Gate in the past has now become the king of Luoyang who walks in the sun.

After Yang Ming entered Luoyang City, he found a tavern on the street, wanting to see how the people of Luoyang City live now under Yang Xuyan's governance.

Yang Ming was drinking bored, and at the same time asked Xiao Er in the tavern about what had happened in Luoyang City in the past six months.

I have to say. Yang Xuyan, the clown who jumped off the beam, really has no potential to be an emperor, there has been no change in Luoyang City under his governance, and the people of Luoyang City are still living a life of barely making a living.

Except for Yang Ming, there were no other guests in the tavern, which shows how poor the people of Luoyang City are.

Just when Yang Ming finished drinking a pot of stuffy wine and was about to leave the tavern, a young man with a unique temperament walked into the tavern.

This young man's temperament is elegant, and there is a pure natural meaning, which makes people unconsciously feel close to him.

Yang Ming was attracted to this special young man because he was only about twenty years old, but he already had profound skills equivalent to a first-class master.

Of course, there are people in the rivers and lakes of the world who are already innate masters before the age of twenty, but they are all extremely talented people, and they are also the best peerless books in the rivers and lakes.

The young man in front of him has the martial arts of a first-class master at the age of twenty, and he will definitely not be an unknown person in the rivers and lakes.

The young man sat down in the corner of the tavern and ordered a pot of wine and a few side dishes, and he had just taken two sips of wine when a man with a masked hat walked into the tavern.

I saw that this person was dressed in gray cloth, his steps were light and powerful, and he walked straight towards the young man who was drinking, and he had a compelling momentum on his body, which was extremely intimidating.

The drunken young man raised his head and said in a deep voice.

"Prince Shimin, please be seated. ”

The man was slightly stunned before he sat down opposite him, took off the bamboo hat, showed a heroic face, and said in surprise.

"Can Brother Xu see through the face of the younger brother?"

The person who came in wearing a masked hat was none other than Li Shimin, the second son of Tang Guogong Li Yuan.

Now that the Li family does not occupy Guanzhong and Chang'an, Li Shimin was naturally not named the king of Qin, but he swept away Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou in the west and north in the land of Hebei, and now he is also a famous general in the world.

Hearing Li Shimin's title of [Brother Xu], Yang Ming immediately guessed the identity of the young man who drank alcohol, which should be Xu Ziling, one of the double dragons in Yangzhou.

"I just recognize the footsteps of Brother Shimin!"

After Xu Ziling's casual explanation, Li Shimin's eyes burst into light, and he sighed after carefully studying him for a while.

"Brother Ziling has really changed a lot, no matter his appearance, demeanor, or courage, he can teach people to break their hearts. ”

Xu Ziling said lightly.

"Brother Shimin doesn't need to praise me, Xu Ziling is a reckless man in the mountains, how can he be like a dragon among the people of Brother Shimin, crusading against Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou in the land of Hebei, and laying the foundation for himself as the overlord of Hebei. ”

Li Shimin smiled bitterly in return and shook his head.

"Brother Ziling, don't laugh at me, I, Li Shimin, am at most just a pioneer general who fights the world for my father and brother. Before I set out to fight in Liangshidu that day, I also said to my father, [Emperor Yang has no way, the lives are ruined, and the heroes rise together, the child only wants to help his father overthrow the tyrant and relieve the suffering of the people, and other non-children dare to delusional]. ”

Xu Ziling frowned.

"Brother Shimin has this idea, why did he show a look of indignation just now?"

Li Shimin said gloomily.

"Because I'm afraid that my eldest brother is another Emperor Yang, then I will be extremely guilty. But since ancient times, there has been a patriarchal law, and I have nothing to say. ”

Xu Ziling was in awe in his heart. Because he told him with a keen sense that when Li Shimin said this, he was revealing his true feelings, showing his compassion and compassion.

Someone whispered.

"Well said!"

Xu Ziling and Li Shimin looked at it in amazement, only to see that there was an extra guest in the tavern, sitting in the farthest corner from them, with their backs to them, pouring themselves a drink alone.

Li Shimin and Xu Ziling exchanged glances, but they couldn't hide the surprise in their hearts.

The man was obviously new, but neither of them knew when he had entered.

And when the two of them spoke, they were trying to suppress and gather their voices as much as possible, so as not to disperse.

And the other party is at least five or six feet away from them, if you can still hear their words, just by this point, you know that the other party is a top master.

This person looks slender and elegant just from the back, revealing an elegant and chic smell, and the hair of a scribe's bun is black and shiny, which is very attractive.

This person who praised Li Shimin's words just now is naturally the holy concubine of Cihang Jingzhai's generation.

Although Shi Feixuan was dressed as a man at this time, and she deliberately pretended to be a man's voice, her voice was still crisp and beautiful, and Yang Ming recognized her voice as soon as she heard it.

Bang!

Knocking the wine glass in his hand on the table hard, Yang Ming frowned and said unhappily.

"A boy who doesn't know the sky and the earth is thick and babbling, where is what he says?" (To be continued.) )
