Traveling through the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Cheng Yaojin was still in a daze until he escaped from the prison, why did he escape?

It seems that after Li Mi got the wine from the guard, he pretended to be indifferent for a while, and exchanged some jewelry on his body for some food.The guard saw many good things on him, so he took the initiative to strike up a conversation.I don't know how to chat, but we talked about Li Mi's dead old father. Li Mi cried bitterly, crying that he was instigated by Yang Xuangan to rebel, thinking that the Sui Dynasty was actually kind to his father and son!Now that he has this status - the majestic Prince of Pushan County, he also has money, the rewards from the Emperor Guangguang will be incredible, there are countless rare treasures, why can't he figure it out!

Li Mi was heartbroken, thinking that when he fled, he was still worried about suffering on the road, so he hid the gold, silver and jewels in several places, now they are useless, it is too late to regret.Hearing everyone's thoughts.

Li Mi wiped his tears, and said: "I just hope that the guardian can see that I am a dying person, and meet some of my trivial requests. Can you give me a drink or a small dish? I don't have much influence." It's a good day to live, I just hope that I can live more comfortably before I die."

A few guards thought about it, but they used their brains.

He lowered his head and glanced at the jewelry that Li Mi handed to them just now, and felt inconspicuous.

One said: "Brother, this man's ancestors were all high officials. In his generation, he is a hereditary Pu Shangong. There must be many good things in his family."

The other weighed the jewels in his hand and said: "These jewels are of high quality, and you can get a lot of silver back at the pawn shop. If there is still a box..." The man's eyes were bright, "Then we brothers will eat and drink in this life Don't worry anymore."

Someone sneaked a glance at Li Mi, who was half leaning against the corner of the prison, sick and coughing from time to time: "Brother, look at him like that, even if you let him out, he probably won't be able to run very far, let alone , let’s not let him go, just coax him to be happy and let him tell where the treasure is hidden.”

The first person who spoke immediately responded: "Yes, yes, brother, look at his tuberculosis, he just wants to exchange a few drinks and a few meats. We can exchange a lot of jewelry, What a good thing." The head guard thought for a moment, yes, he is not lying, it is indeed a big family business, there must be a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, just look at what he gave them.If this person dies like a lamp going out, wouldn't the jewels be lost?It's better to give their brothers an equal share.He can't and dare not let people go, but he can still do such a small thing, just trick Li Mi's treasure.

So, after the head guard nodded in agreement, someone brought the wine and the dishes.But Li Mi didn't know if it was because he had been chained for too long, his hands were shaking, and it was inconvenient to wear the chain frame. He tried a few times, but he couldn't drink the wine into his mouth. On the ground, everywhere on the body, especially embarrassing.

Seeing his appearance, the little guard simply walked over and took off his shackles, and then began to chat with him pretending to be sympathetic.

Li Mi was so grateful, he knew everything he could say, and he also talked about the whereabouts of those jewels he had no blessing to enjoy.

When everyone heard that it was said to be buried on a small hillside outside Yangzhou City, they were all very excited and wanted to dig it out immediately.

In the end, after discussing and discussing, you doubt me and I doubt you, it was decided to draw lots to keep one person, and the rest will dig together, so as to avoid uneven distribution of spoils and private possession.

When the rest of the people had gone to dig for the treasure, the man who was left drank some wine resentfully, murmured his resentment, and when he passed out, Li Mi smashed the wine jar, cut the rope for Cheng Yaojin, and performed a magic trick again. , took out a key from his pocket, opened the door of the prison, the two knocked the prison guard unconscious, and escaped.

Now, after running away for a long time, Cheng Yaojin was also tired, so he sat on the rock with his body propped up and asked, "How did you get the key?"

Li Mi did not shy away from saying: "The guards who changed shift at noon, I also used the same method to fool them, and stole the key when one of them was not prepared."

Cheng Yaojin said: "Then the guard dropped the key, doesn't he suspect you?"

Li Mi smiled: "He can't care about me. I'm afraid he is digging for gold, silver and jewels hundreds of miles away. I specifically mentioned a distant place, and I said that I came from exile all the way. I'm afraid There was an accident, so several buried treasures were distributed, and the nearest one had to be a hundred miles away, I guess he couldn't wait to leave the city before he had time to change his guard uniform."

When Cheng Yaojin heard this, he thought to himself, you have used this trick twice, but unexpectedly you have caught someone.

This man is really smart!If you are talking about exchanging jewelry for freedom, no one really cares about you. After all, no matter how important gold, silver and jewelry are, they must have life.

Li Mi squatted by the creek, washed his face, swept away the decadence that was about to die before, and showed a flickering face, stood up, looked around, turned his head and said to Cheng Yaojin: "We have to go separately, let's go together." If someone chases them, they won’t all be caught.”

Cheng Yaojin naturally agreed.

Li Mi suddenly knelt down on one knee and saluted Cheng Yaojin, who was so frightened that the latter quickly stood up and helped him, saying: "Pu Shangong, what are you doing?"

Li Mi said with shame on his face: "Dare to ask the emperor, do you still count on what you said just now in prison?"

Cheng Yaojin asked: "Which sentence?" I said a lot.

Li Mi said: "To tell you the truth, your majesty, since I was wanted, I have been displaced and suffered a lot. There is no place for me, Li Mi, in the vast world. You once said in prison that there is a place for me, Li Mi, in Wagang Village. I don’t know if I can still count?”

After Cheng Yaojin heard it, he laughed loudly, and said again and again: "Follow the numbers, naturally! If there is such a capable person as Pu Shangong in our Wagang Village, why not kill Yang Guang? Not only that, but I also want to kill Yang Guang." I made you an official, at least you saved my life, didn't you?"

Cheng Yaojin is a big bastard, he will be my friend for a while, he will be my friend for a while, neither fish nor fowl, but Li Miquan pretends not to hear it, and his gestures are full of respect, which makes Cheng Yaojin's impression of him better, and he feels that Li Mi is not only He has a great strategy and is calm in dealing with things. He is a person who can handle great tasks.

After Cheng Yaojin returned to Wagangzhai, all the brothers refused to take up the matter of the Zen seat, and Cheng Yaojin naturally remembered that Li Mi, who had saved his life, could be qualified...Of course, these are all things for later. Leaving aside, anyway, at this moment, Cheng Yaojin and Li Mi have parted ways, but they have the same goal.

Cheng Yaojin's journey went smoothly without encountering any dangers. Three days later, he arrived at Wagang Village in all directions, but Li Mi at the other end did not go so smoothly.

Li Mi had been driving for a day, his mouth was dry, and he wanted to find a teahouse to rest for a while, but he never thought that he would encounter a confrontation between the two armies on the way. Who is it?

Li Mi also knew this person, his old acquaintance Shan Xiongxin.

The reason why Shan Xiongxin appeared here has to start with Cheng Yaojin's single-handed rush to Yangzhou City.

Cheng Yaojin left happily, but he was so anxious that everyone in Wagang Village was destroyed.After everyone's discussion, the emperor can't be in danger alone, so he immediately sent Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang and others to lead the army to Yangzhou City to rescue people.

As a result, unfortunately, Shan Xiongxin's small army ran into Yang Guang's army that entered Yangzhou head-on.

After Yang Guang went back to Siming Mountain for the last battle, he was scared out of his wits. There is not 80 troops around him, but there are also 50 troops, ready to call.Shan Xiongxin saw this posture and knew that he was going to die here this time.

Unexpectedly, before the battle started, the sound of horse hoofs approaching was suddenly heard, and everyone looked at it. A person got off the horse, because the speed was so fast that the person did not turn over and get off the horse, but directly jumped off the horse. Rolled down, after rolling down, his face was covered with dust, his face was white and black, and his forehead was still bleeding. When he saw the Sui army, he immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, I want to see your Majesty, there is an urgent message from [-] miles away! Eight hundred miles from Yangzhou City!" Urgent mail!"

As soon as Yang Guang heard this, he hurriedly asked someone to bring him to him. The man prostrated himself on the ground, his whole head pressed to the ground, and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, Yangzhou City is in critical condition. Lord Wang Shichong, who is guarding the kingdom, has arrested Cheng Yao, the emperor of the Great Demon Kingdom." Jin, I never thought that today I will be ambushed by the generals of the Great Demon Kingdom, the army has already arrived outside the city of Yangzhou, Lord Wang is almost unable to hold on, so I beg the emperor to send an army to support."

When Yang Guang heard this, his heart skipped a beat. The reason he was on the road day and night was because Wang Shichong sent someone to report that he had captured a rebel leader like Cheng Yaojin. He was overjoyed. The rebels have already arrived outside Yangzhou city.

Yang Guang looked at the small group of troops in front of him again, and it was determined that Wagangzhai was trying to delay his pace.

No, no matter what, you can't let Cheng Yaojin run away!As soon as Yang Guang thought about it, he waved his big hand, ordering people not to care about Shan Xiongxin and others, they are in a hurry, and just drive towards Yangzhou City.

Shan Xiongxin and the others escaped unharmed.

Shan Xiongxin wondered, where did he send a large army to attack Yangzhou City in Wagang Village?

When Shan Xiongxin and Wang Bodang looked at each other, confused, they never thought that the person who reported to Yang Guang just now would sneak back.

This person is Li Mi who escaped from the prison.

Why didn't Yang Guang have any doubts?One is that Li Mi performed well, and the other is that Wang Shichong sent someone to tell Yang Guang that it was only half a day since Cheng Yaojin was arrested. news, there is no doubt.

Li Mi wiped off the plaster and blood stains on his face, Shan Xiongxin exclaimed immediately: "Isn't this Pu Shangong?"

Li Mi explained the whole story to Shan Xiongxin and others, and Shan Xiongxin and others were overwhelmed with gratitude.

Li Mi told everyone to go back quickly, this trick was just to deceive Yang Guang, who knows if he thought about it halfway and felt something was wrong, and turned back again, everyone listened to the order, so the group returned to Wagang Village in a mighty manner.

When Cheng Yaojin met his old mother and his wife Pei Cuiyun, the two of them wept bitterly, they thought he was dead, they were worried all day, now they are happy to see him still alive.

Cheng Yaojin also said the experience of the past few days, and the old lady immediately said: "My son, you don't know a single word, and you are so impulsive. You are really not expected to be an emperor. I think you should give up the position of emperor to someone else." A wise man."

His wife, Pei Cuiyun, also comforted him and said: "Old Chen, I still say the same thing, we don't care about this emperor. You are not qualified to be this emperor at all. If Li Mi hadn't saved you now, you would have come back dead. What about my mother and I?" After finishing speaking, she tucked up her sleeves and wept softly.

Cheng Yaojin had figured it out a long time ago, and he swore to himself in prison that if he could come back, he would definitely give up the throne, but who would he give it to?

Cheng Yaojin's first reaction was Xu Maogong, the military adviser, but his ambition is not here, he only wants to assist Mingjun.

Cheng Yaojin also thought about making way for little brother Luo Cheng. No one can match the contribution of little brother Luo Cheng in Wagang Village, but now he doesn't know if little Luo Cheng is alive or dead, so where can I find him?

When Second Brother Qin was mentioned, Second Brother Qin quickly waved his hand, refusing to accept it.

Cheng Yaojin was also discouraged when no one picked up the hot potato. At this moment, the guard outside the gate reported that General Shan had returned. Cheng Yaojin wanted to give up the throne to Shan Xiongxin again, but When he saw the person standing behind Shan Xiongxin, he changed his mind.

When Shan Xiongxin came back this time, he also brought back Pu Shangong Li Mi!

Cheng Yaojin admired Li Mi in the first place, but now he wanted to cede the throne to Li Mi, Li Mi was overwhelmed by flattery, and after several refusals, seeing that it didn't work, he reluctantly endured it.

Everyone was not dissatisfied, this Li Mi not only saved the emperor's life, but also saved the life of the second brother Qin, and now, on the way back, he rescued the fifth brother Shan.Isn't it true that no one among the brothers is willing to take over the throne, and it would be feasible to let him do it.

So, being so confused, Cheng Yaojin relieved the heavy burden, while Li Mi was full of ambitions, and vowed to rectify Wagang Village and make a big splash.

Cheng Yaojin retired, and temporarily took the post of pioneer officer of Zhengyin in the front because there was no vacant position for a while.Li Mi changed the Great Devil Kingdom to the Western Wei Dynasty, proclaiming himself the King of the Western Wei Dynasty. The organizational system remained unchanged, and the civil and military officials remained in their original positions.

After everyone paid homage to the new emperor, Li Mi stared at the vacant seat on the lower left hand side and asked, "Whose seat is this?"

The military advisor Xu Maogong stood up and said: "It is the position of Luo Cheng, the great general who protects the country."

Li Mi said to himself: "When I was in exile, I often heard people mention that the young man of the Luo family was young, courageous, and skilled in martial arts. The story of the martial arts competition in Jinyang Palace has already spread throughout the country. The title of One belongs to him.”

"Exactly." Xu Mao said fairly, "More than that, General Luo has made great contributions to our Wagang Village several times. He is a well-deserved general who protects the country. The whole country's army is at his disposal."

Li Mi was originally very interested in the legendary young general, but when Xu Maogong said that the national army was at his disposal, he felt a little upset.

Who is qualified to deploy the national army?Isn't that the emperor?One mountain can't accommodate two tigers, which is tantamount to threatening his supremacy, so naturally he wouldn't be happy, but he didn't show it on his face, pretending to be very interested and asked: "Really? Look at our teenage hero."

Xu Maogong sighed: "Little brother Luo Cheng has disappeared since he besieged the faint king Yang Guang in Siming Mountain. No one knows his whereabouts. We are also looking for him."

Li Mi's heart relaxed, wishing that this person would not come back.Luo Cheng returned from being brave to being brave, but if his status was shaken, he would not allow it.Looking at the lamenting expressions of those people in the main hall, it seems that there are quite a few people who have been favored by him. I am a newcomer, and I am most taboo to have such a person who is equal to me.

And where is Luo Cheng who is being "missed" at this moment?

After Luo Cheng's high fever subsided, he didn't want to delay anything, and went back to Taiyuan, Shanxi together with Li Yuanji. Before entering the city, he met Li Shimin who was leading people to pick them up.

At this moment, Chai Shao and Li Xiuning also rushed to Taiyuan City from other places.

Although Li Yuan was heartbroken that his five sons had died unexpectedly, the overall situation was the most important right now, and he didn't care about grief, so under the encouragement of everyone, he raised the flag to revolt.

Li Yuanji secretly glanced at Li Jiancheng, who nodded at him.Li Yuanji didn't know what the elder brother said to his father, but his father didn't mention anything about Li Zhiyun, and didn't mean to blame him at all. Instead, he asked about his health, feeling that he was fine.

Li Yuanji knew that his elder brother must have not told his father the truth, so he was grateful at the moment.

He glanced at Luo Cheng again, Luo Cheng frowned, and looked towards the direction of the city gate. He knew that now his typhoid fever had recovered, and his heart disease had also improved a lot. No matter what, he couldn't stop him from leaving... …
