Traveling through the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

In the huge side hall, Li Yuanji sat in a corner, seemingly calmly wiping the big bow in his hand.

If you look closely, you can find that his lowered gaze is empty, and he doesn't know where he has gone for a long time.

Li An rubbed his hands, paced back and forth in the side hall, anxious on his face, and said to himself: Third Young Master, what kind of bow are you polishing right now, not to mention that you haven't hunted for several months, even if you need it You don't need to polish the bow all morning.Do you know that General Luo is leaving today?What is the ink blot here.

If you ask Li Yuanji if he is in a hurry, of course he is, but this man's arrogant temper has flared up again.

Li Yuanji wiped the big bow in his hand vigorously, and muttered in his mouth: "Let's go, no one cares. I won't see you off like a mother-in-law like Erhu, if you like to go—"

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but ask Li An again: "What time is it now?"

"It's almost time." Li An secretly glanced at his master, afraid that he might not understand, and added, "Little General Luo should be leaving now."

Sure enough, the bow in Li Yuanji's hand was placed heavily on the table, Li Yuanji stretched his neck, turned his head to look outside the hall, and muttered: "Why haven't you come yet?"

Li An followed Li Yuanji's line of sight, bent over suspiciously, and said in a low voice, "Third Young Master, don't tell me that you are cleaning your bow and arrow here, but you are actually waiting for General Luo to say goodbye to you." ?”

Being punctured, Li Yuanji turned embarrassing, raised his hand, and made a gesture of beating someone, but there was no more to say. He was strong on the outside but on the inside, and said with a guilty conscience: "At least I took care of him until he recovered, no matter what , even if you leave, you should say goodbye to me."

Li An really wanted to bang his head against this wall... I was just asking casually, are you really waiting for General Luo? !

You said you, why are you so awkward?You want to see someone, but you don't want to see him, so you can go to see him openly, go see him off, if you want to play something special, you are not special enough in General Luo's heart.

However, even if you meet Little General Luo, so what?

When did you see me again and you weren't stubborn?Or just spitting out a few words without holding back can choke people to death.Third son, are you sure this is a manifestation of loving someone?It's really pitiful to be in love with you. I don't feel happy at all.

Li An felt powerless. He was a dog-headed military strategist who couldn't afford to be hurt when he met such a hot-tempered young master who was just in love.

Li An said weakly: "Third Young Master, I can assure you that if you don't go out to see General Luo off now, then you will definitely not be able to see him. What he and Master, Eldest Young Master, and Second Young Master said is to leave on time."

Li Yuanji thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and saw that there was no movement at the door. He couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and strode out, gnashing his teeth while walking: "Luo Cheng, you are ruthless! You don't It's just me, I'll go to you, if you don't want to see me, I won't let you do what you want."

Li Yuanji got on his horse and galloped all the way. As soon as he ran to the gate of the city, he ran into Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and others head-on.

Li Yuanji's heart skipped a beat, and he asked impatiently, "Where is Luo Chengren?"

Li Jiancheng said in surprise, "Yuanji, why did you come here now? Mr. Luo Xiaoen has already left."

"How long has he been gone?"

Li Jiancheng said: "Is there a stick of incense?"

Li Shimin added: "Brother Luo Cheng is eager to return, and I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up now."

After listening to this, Li Yuanji slammed his head hard.

"Yuanji, what are you doing!" Li Jiancheng quickly stopped.

The next moment, Li Yuanji reined in the horse rope, ready to go: "Brother, please tell father for me, I will leave for a while, if it is as short as an hour or two, or as long as a few days, I will come back."

Li Jiancheng scolded: "Yuanji, where are you going? It's not like you don't know the situation in Taiyuan City right now. Father is about to send troops, and it's time to employ people. How can you and my brothers leave?"

Li Yuanji was also in a hurry: "I want to ask Luo Cheng, why didn't he say goodbye to me! I am so hated by him, he said he doesn't like me trampling on the crops, and I haven't hunted in months , He said that it is shameful to see people oppressing the people, and I have restrained myself a lot now, why does he still dislike me!"

Li Jiancheng was at a loss for words for a moment, and said, why do you insist that Luo Xiaoengong look at you pleasingly?Why do you have to care about Luo Xiaoengong's thoughts?This is not like the young master who was unscrupulous in the past, even his parents had a headache when they saw him, there was something vaguely about to come out.

"Hey, I don't want to talk to you guys. Get out of the way quickly and let me go out of the city. If it's too late, I won't be able to catch up with him." Li Yuanji waved his whip and was about to leave.

Li Shimin stretched out his hand to stop him: "Yuanji, don't make trouble. Father is still waiting for us in the mansion to discuss the plan to besiege Chang'an. Brother Luo Cheng is in good condition, and he has his own place to go. Don't worry about it, let alone my eldest brother and I abide by it." Father ordered that before leaving, he had already told brother Luo Cheng that at any time, the door of my Li family would be open to him without any conditions."

"Two foxes, get out of the way!"

Li Shimin was unmoved.

Li Yuanji was annoyed, raised his whip high and shouted: "Li Shimin, are you going to give in or not?"

At this moment, a Qingyue scolded suddenly came from the front: "Li Yuanji, you want to whip someone again!"

Li Yuanji was dumbfounded for a moment, and stared blankly at the front, the familiar face of that person came into view, blinked his eyes, confirmed that it was correct, and was a little dazed: "Why are you back again?"

Luo Cheng stared at the whip in his hand and remained silent.

Li Yuanji put down his whip in the next moment, raised his hand high, and lightly whipped the horse a few times meaningfully, then lowered his head and cursed: "This damned horse is always disobedient, so it should be trained well." gone."

He raised his head and looked at Luo Cheng, with dissatisfaction on his face, he said: "Why are you wronging people, I just use a whip to discipline the mount."

Luo Cheng looked suspiciously at the suspected victim Li Shimin.The latter naturally wouldn't dismantle his younger brother's platform, so he quickly changed the subject and asked, "By the way, Brother Luo Cheng, why are you back again?"

"I left the dagger I carried with me in the mansion. I took it out to clean it this morning, but I forgot to bring it with me."

"Oh, that's how it is." Li Shimin smiled, "Then I'll order someone to fetch it quickly."

"Second Brother Lao."

Li Shimin smiled and shook his head.

Here, Li Yuanji took a sneak peek at Li Shimin and Luo Cheng having a very happy conversation. As soon as he turned around, he looked at Li Yuanji and said, "Yuanji, don't you have something to say to Brother Luo Cheng? For this reason, I came here in a hurry. Fortunately, Brother Luo Cheng came back because of something, otherwise, I really can't see you." gone."

Luo Cheng followed Li Shimin and looked at Li Yuanji, with a confused look on his face: "What do you want to tell me?"

Li Yuanji looked at that innocent face, for some reason, he couldn't ask any words of blame, and froze in place with a stupid expression.

At this time, the boy who went to the mansion to get the dagger also came back. Luo Cheng put away the dagger and glanced at Li Yuanji: "If you have nothing to say to me, I will leave."

Li Yuanji held back for a long time, until his face turned red, and finally he hesitated and said: "Luo Cheng, if you don't want to stay in Wagang, the door of my Li family will be open for you at any time."

Luo Cheng nodded and said flatly: "Thank you, I see."

It's no wonder that Luo Cheng's expression is flat. Li Yuan said this, Li Jiancheng said it, and Li Shimin said it the most. Even Li Yuanba, who is ignorant of the world, held his hand and said it many times, so it's Li Yuanji's turn. It really can't make any waves.

Li Yuanji stared at the back of Luo Cheng leaving, and finally turned into a small white spot, disappeared into the distance, turned around, and left contentedly.Leaving Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin looking at each other, what on earth are you here for?Just now I was so irritable that I wanted to beat my brother, so it was just to say something that everyone regarded as commonplace, and said it countless times?

Although he knew that he had been delayed for several days due to illness, Luo Cheng still did not give up hope. The first stop he went to was not Wagang Village, but Siming Mountain. If you can find it, but you still can't find it, go back to Wagang Village first, and report to your parents, brother, and other brothers that he is safe. These days, his sudden disappearance may make them all worried.

The continuous several days of carpet search did not bring any miracles. There was no trace of Yuwen Chengdu, and the residents on both sides of the river bank had never seen him. He was like a bubble, as if he had evaporated in this world.

Luo Cheng thought of the only possibility, but he refused to accept it.

Luo Cheng took a deep breath, looked at the river bank where Yuwen Chengdu fell, and said to himself: "I won't believe you just died like this." Having said that, the circles of his eyes were slightly red.

Luo Cheng got on his horse, reined in the reins, and turned the horse's head: "Drive—" he strode towards Wagang Village.

Two days later, Wagang Village.

Ever since Li Mi became king of the Western Wei Dynasty, he was very different from Cheng Yaojin.In the early morning, he dispatched manpower, inspected and trained soldiers, and let him handle everything in an orderly manner, which made the brothers in Wagang Village change a lot.

But not everyone is satisfied.

In the courtyard of the Luo family, Luo Yong was yelling to go out, but Qin Yong and Yan Lang obeyed orders to stop him.

"Stop, where are you going?" Luo Yi clasped his hands behind his back, looking at Luo Yong sharply.

"My lord, what kind of onion is he, Li Mi? He has only been on the throne for a few days, and he has started to put eyeliner in our Luo family army. Yesterday he gave a talent, recommended him to be a pioneer, and today he gave him a supervising army. I want to ask him, What does he want?"

Luo Yi pursed his thin lips lightly, this Li Mi was very thoughtful, unlike Cheng Yaojin, the demon king of the world, presumably the Luo family held a heavy army, and Cheng'er held a high position and was in charge of military power, so he was afraid of him.

Luo Song scolded: "Did you name Li Mi? There is no prince here, why is it still the old system of the Sui Dynasty? Since we have entered Wagang Village, we are people from Wagang Village. Right now someone is trying to catch us in the wrong, we should be more careful, don't let anyone take advantage of it, we will make all plans when Cheng'er comes back, and we will change everything in the future!"

Luo Yi nodded: "Song'er is right. The Demon King of Confusion once held my hand and called me godfather, but that is all in the past. No one knows what the King of Western Wei thinks now, so we should be careful." For the top."

Luo Yong was anxious: "Then is it possible to let him... the king of the Western Wei Dynasty keeps sending people to our Luo family army?"

Luo Song laughed: "Can he stuff it in? Since he loves stuffing, let him do it."

Luo Yong scratched his head, anxiously: "Where did our general go? We also searched at the foot of Siming Mountain, but there was no one."

In a blink of an eye, seeing Yan Lang sticking to the side, he couldn't help feeling angry, pushing and saying: "It's all your fault! It's all your fault! Why didn't you stop the general! Let him go."

Yan Lang said innocently: "Then it's not like you don't know the friendship between General Yuwen and the Major General, and it's not something I can stop just by saying so."

Luo Yong showed concern: "Why is there no news at all? Could it be that Yang Guang was really arrested?"

Luo Songdao: "That's not true. With Cheng'er's skills, no one can stop him. What's more, if Yang Guang really captured Cheng'er and Cheng Yaojin explored Yangzhou City alone, he should have heard the news. Since there is no one When the news comes, it means that Cheng'er is still safe."

Everyone was silent.

Luo Yong sighed: "There are suddenly a few more people in this army, I'm not used to how I see it. Especially Pei Yuanqing, who is always dangling in front of my eyes and pointing fingers, since he is so good, why should he come to my Luo family army? ?”

Luo Song snorted coldly and said, "I don't know what Pei Yuanqing thinks, but I think that Pei Renji must be scolding our Western Wei King in his heart right now. The fisherman should make good use of the snipe and clam fighting each other, but Don't take everyone for fools."

At the same time, in another room, Shan Xiongxin was drunk and was stopped by Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong asked, "Fifth Brother Shan, do you feel unhappy in your heart?"

Shan Xiongxin is also a real person, he threw the wine glass heavily on the table, and went crazy with the wine: "I just can't understand the emperor's way! Look, he, he—"

Qin Qiong quickly covered his mouth and said, "Fifth Brother Shan, there are some things you can't say."

Shan Xiongxin was startled, and angrily pulled Qin Qiong's arm, lowered his head in despondency, and lowered his voice: "Little brother Luo Cheng is only temporarily missing, and he is not dead yet, so he is eager to seize his military power. The emperor, he... Alas! "

Qin Qiong frowned, why didn't he feel sorry for his aunt's family, but so what?After all, the emperor is the emperor, and this emperor was unanimously agreed by everyone.

Qin Qiong was about to speak a few words of comfort to Shan Xiongxin when he heard the noise outside the hall...

In the side hall of Wagangzhai, Li Mi also summoned Wang Bodang, and some impassioned words made Wang Bodang also full of emotion.

Li Mi said seriously: "Bo Dang, when you and I were officials in the same dynasty, I admired your talent very much. You are the number one scholar in both civil and military affairs."

Uncle Wang was ashamed: "Your Majesty, don't mention the past."

"I think back then, you were unhappy in the imperial court, but I didn't expect that you would also have no ambitions in Wagang." Li Mi changed the subject, and said, "Bodang, you and I both have great ambitions, and we will never be satisfied." In a corner of Pian'an, but now in Wagang, although the brothers have a good relationship, they are not big or small, orders are changed every day, and the army is scattered. If things go on like this, I am afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold in today's troubled times."

Uncle Wang bowed his head in deep thought and asked, "What do you want to do? Tell me what you want to say."

"Okay." Li Mi was full of pride, "I will continue to be a person who is familiar with Wagang Village, and I will jointly create a set of effective measures with me, hoping to quickly expand the momentum of my Wagang Village in a short period of time."

Hearing this, Wang Bodang was very moved. At the beginning, he also strongly advised this method, but Cheng Yaojin, who was still the emperor at that time, pushed it away.But now a better opportunity is in front of me, so that my lofty ambitions can be realized, how can I not be excited.

Li Mi said again: "Bodang, I appreciate you, are you willing to help me? As long as you have a good method, I dare to put it into action."

Without hesitation, Wang Bodang immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "But according to the emperor's order!"

Li Mi laughed loudly, and quickly pulled people up: "Okay, okay, it's time for us to show our ambitions!"

"Thank you, Bodang, for your appreciation."

After Wang Bodang was overjoyed, he hesitated to speak.

"What do you want to say to me, Bodang?"

Wang Bodang thought over and over again: "Your Majesty, everyone has some objections to the orders you issued in the court these few days."

Li Mi raised his eyebrows. He stuffed Pei Yuanqing, who had always been at odds with the Luo family, into the Luo family's army in the court hall, and sent the supervising army to the Luo family's army, because Pei Yuanqing and the Luo family's army had always had friction.

Li Mi did not shy away from Wang Bodang and said: "Bodang, do you think it is possible for a country to have two masters?"

Wang Bodang was taken aback, and then said: "Since ancient times, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, let alone one country with two masters, it is simply absurd."

"That's it. Let's ignore how Cheng Yaojin made the decree, but you need to know that one monarch is enough for a country."

Wang Bodang immediately realized the meaning of Li Mi's words, and quickly retorted: "But Brother Luo Cheng is not that kind of person—"

Li Mi clasped his hands behind his back, and said with a straight face: "I am not guilty, but I am guilty of carrying a jade. I only blame him for being in his position. A mere official has the right to mobilize the entire army. Isn't this nonsense?"

Li Mi said again: "Now, it is just right that he is not here. I will take this opportunity to take back the military power."

Seeing Wang Bodang's expression of disapproval, Li Mi quickly softened his tone and said with a smile on his face, "Bodang, you have been busy these days, and I will leave it to you to recruit troops and expand the army. Since I came to power, I haven’t done anything spectacular, and when we are strong and strong, we will be able to compete with the Sui Dynasty. At that time, all heroes in the world will look up to me Wagang.”

Wang Bodang's rebuttal was stuck in his throat, so he nodded.

Just when Li Mi's ambition was to raise money, he heard the noise outside the door one after another, not only did not show any signs of stopping, but it became louder, Li Mi's heart trembled, could it be that there was some war?

Li Mi hurriedly sent his guards for questioning, only to find that there was not even a guard in Piandian.

Uncle Wang stopped a person dressed as a maid in a hurry and asked, "What's going on?"

When the maid saw the person blocking her and the emperor behind her, she knelt down and kowtowed in panic, saying: "Your servant kowtows to the emperor, general."

"What happened in the village? Where are the guards guarding the palace?" Wang Bodang asked.

The maid's cheeks were reddish, her voice was trembling, she obviously looked like a young girl Huaichun, her eyes were full of admiration and said: "If you go back to General Wang, General Luo is back! Everyone in the village has probably gone to meet General Luo."
