Traveling through the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

"Kuang—" Another hit missed, almost hitting him on the shoulder, and he dodged it sideways.

Seeing this, Yu Wencheng pursed his thin lips tightly, and raised his heart high. Judging from his several fights with Luo Cheng, if he still can't see that Luo Cheng is absent-minded, it's really wrong.

The people on the training ground in front of them are obviously not as flexible as before, and even their moves are deliberately avoided.

"Boy from the Luo family, it seems that you have slacked off a lot these years." Yang Lin held the prisoner dragon cudgel. Although the weapon was heavy, it was more than capable of handling it. It opened and closed, very powerful.

The Prisoner Dragon Cudgel was swung down, and Luo Cheng barely blocked it with his gun, but he was forced to retreat a few steps, barely standing still.

After a short breath, Luo Cheng retracted the gun, clasped his hands together, and said: "The prince is always strong, Luo Cheng naturally dare not use the axe."

Yang Lin was a little disappointed in Luo Cheng's martial arts, but then he thought about it, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and it was not easy for him to be able to draw with him. It was only because he had seen him practice martial arts before, so he took it for granted. He started a bit higher.

Luo Cheng only pretended not to see the loneliness flashing in Yang Lin's eyes, and when Yang Lin called to stop him as early as the morning was over, he raised his guard.I thought he recognized me, but I never thought that I haven't seen him for three years, so I insisted on having a lesson with him.

Luo developed a mind, dealt with it carefully, tied his hands and feet, and didn't show his flaws. This was the result of the competition just now.

Although not as powerful as expected, Yang Lin also liked seeing such a strong young man, and his displeasure at mistaking a traitor like Qin Qiong for his son also dissipated a lot.

After another exchange of pleasantries, Luo Cheng moved forward and retreated properly, and answered in a well-regulated manner, almost without any highlights. Even so, Yang Lin praised him a lot, saying that he was neither arrogant nor rash, calm and proper.

Coming out of the martial arts training ground, Luo Cheng went back to the house non-stop, and didn't even take the time to drink saliva. He was about to start writing a letter, but after thinking about it, he threw away the pen. Whatever he wrote, even if he wrote it, no one would be able to Recognize it, don't delay the matter, in case this letter is taken by someone in the court by accident, it will be a disaster, it is better to directly order someone to pass a message.

Fortunately, when he returned to Chang'an this time, his father was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he ordered him to take the seventh-year soldiers and six-year soldiers from Yanyun Jingqi as his cronies, a total of more than a hundred people, for dispatch.

When the messenger was about to leave, Luo Cheng thought it was wrong.

Since Fifth Brother Shan hasn't resettled his family yet, his family members probably don't know about Fifth Brother Shan's rebellion, and now he is ordering someone to send a message, why should they leave Erxian Village because of his few words?Don't let Zhuangzi get thrown out before he enters.

After thinking about it, he called Yan Lang and asked him to take all the seven-year soldiers of Yan Yun Jingqi.If it makes sense, let's say that if it doesn't make sense for the people in Erxian Village, the servants will be dismissed directly, and the family members of the Shan family will be tied up and sent directly to Wagang Village.

Yan Lang and others took orders and left Beiping Mansion overnight.

Let's say that Luo Cheng's side is burning with anxiety, while Wagang Village's side is full of joy.

All of this has to start with the fact that Xu Maogong asked everyone to elect the founding monarch of Wagangzhai.

Ever since the Shandong Heroes Association entered Wagangzhai and the two armies joined forces, it was natural to choose a leader, but it was not easy to choose a leader.

It stands to reason that this village belongs to him, Zhai Rang, and half of his soldiers belong to other people. He deserves his name to be the leader, but after getting along with his brothers these days, Zhai Rang is ashamed of himself. In terms of martial arts, he He is not as good as Luo Cheng, Qin Qiong and others; in terms of intelligence, he is not as good as Xu Maogong Wei Zheng; in terms of tolerance, he is not as good as Cheng Yaojin; in terms of reputation, he is not as good as Shan Xiongxin.After much deliberation, he discussed with Xu Maogong privately that he could not be the leader.

Xu Maogong was originally worried about what Zhai Rang would do if he wanted to be the founding king, but now he saw that Zhai Rang gave way and his words were sincere, so he agreed.

But please answer, you have to do me a favor, that is, let's sum up and beat the founding monarch of this Wagangzhai to death, and if everyone is convinced.

So, there is such a digging cave under Yuanbao Mountain, which is magical.

Cheng Yaojin had no choice but to be run over by Xu Maogong, so he had to go down to the cave to explore. Before entering the cave, he had to eat and drink well, saying that he was afraid of the last meal, and then he told all brothers to take good care of his old lady. , Finally, the ax and everything must be prepared, in case there are any monsters and ghosts, at least they can be guarded against.

In this way, even if Cheng Yaojin was afraid, he had no choice but to explore the burrow.

In the end, the person did not die, and brought a bunch of treasures up.

What are they all about?

A crown, robe, belt, and shoes are all dressed like an emperor, and Cheng Yaojin is holding a white jade plaque in his hand.

Xu Maogong stretched out his hand and asked him if he wanted to see it. He was in the dark in the ground just now, but Cheng Yaojin saw that the jade tablet was not bad, he never thought that it was still engraved with words.

Xu Maogong took a look, and said: "Following the heavens, Cheng Yaojin should be the devil king of the world, the emperor of great virtue."

At the end of the speech, even calling for God's will, he wanted Cheng Yaojin to be the emperor, and Zhai Rang also agreed. In this way, the crowd and others also booed. Cheng Yaojin originally refused in every possible way. No, let’s not talk about this beheading for now, just say that he is a salt smuggler and has never read the book. How can he rule the world and pretend to be a saint?If this is not done well, it is not just his fault, it will be scolded by the world, just like Yang Guang.

But everyone refused to live or die, saying that it was destiny.

Xu Maogong also said, our Wagang village can't be without a king for a day, can we be lazy?If the country is established and the king is elected, then all the people will return to their hearts, stand against the Sui Dynasty, and overthrow the tyranny of the Sui Dynasty.

Seeing that he couldn't evade the excuse, Cheng Yaojin could only agree, "That's it, I can be the emperor, but I have to make do with it first. If I meet a virtuous person, I will push the virtuous to give way."

Xu Maogong also agreed.

No, Cheng Yaojin established the Great Devil Kingdom, and the matter of proclaiming Dade the Son of Heaven was settled, and the enthronement ceremony was held the next day.

While everyone was chatting and laughing, Xu Maogong urged Cheng Yaojin to confer officials and titles on all the brothers, so that each of them could perform their duties and start to deal with state affairs.

Qin Qiong was named Marshal of the Sweeping Sui Army, Wei Zheng was named Prime Minister, Xu Maogong was named Great Demon Master, Xiaoling Guan Shan Xiongxin, handsome bearded prince Wang Junke, iron-faced judge You Junda, Yong Saburo Wang Bodang, and the sharpshooter The five Xie Yingdeng were named Generals of the Five Tigers of Wagangzhai according to their rankings.

And the brothers are all appointed officials one by one, so they are naturally very happy.

At the end, Xu Maogong twirled his beard, squinted his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, there is still one person who has not been sealed. It doesn't matter if others don't seal or miss seal, just make up, but this person must be sealed."

Who is Xu Maogong talking about?It was the young man from the Luo family who was far away in Chang'an City.

Cheng Yaojin laughed and said: "I just forgot that no one can forget my little brother Luo Cheng. If it wasn't for him, maybe I would have died in the prison of Jinan Mansion. How could I be where I am today."

Cheng Yaojin looked around for a week, and then said loudly: "All the brothers are present, although I, brother Luo Cheng, am young, but I am capable. Although he cannot be present at the founding of the country today, he must not be missed. "

Cheng Yaojin's complexion changed, and he changed from his usual hippie smiling face, showing a bit of the majesty of a superior, and said in a deep voice: "Second brother Qin and I were able to get out of the prison in Jinan Prefecture safely, and then we got along well with the brothers. Breaking out of Shandong, and finally being able to settle in Wagang Village, all these are thanks to my little brother Luo Cheng."

Qin Qiong heard the words and said: "That day I went to lure away Yang Lin's chasing soldiers, so that the brothers could escape and go to Xiaogushan to meet up, but I was entangled by Yang Lin and others, and almost died. It was Luo Cheng who came alone. Needless to say, it is necessary to be brave and righteous in support. Today, Qin Qiong has no objection to the appointment of Luo Cheng as an official by the emperor, and respects him very much."

Xu Maogong said: "Although Luo Cheng's seniority is not high, he has helped my brothers many times, and his contribution is indispensable."

Although Xu Maogong didn't know the inside story about the death of Wei Wentong, the coach sent by the Sui Dynasty to destroy Wagangzhai, but he guessed it closely. Why did Wei Wentong be killed when Luo Cheng and others came down the mountain? This is too coincidental , not to mention that there are not many people capable of killing Wei Wentong, and Luo Chengcheng is one of them.

But these are just Xu Maogong's own guesses, and they cannot be used as arguments.

Of course, even if Xu Maogong, Qin Qiong and others agreed, there were still some people who were not convinced.

Someone said: "He Luo Cheng said that he is from Beiping Mansion and a courtier of the Sui Dynasty. Now that he has returned to Yang Guang, can he still think about our Wagang?"

Some people also said: "This matter, I really can't say for sure. Who knows people's hearts, maybe they can't stop the high-ranking officials and they will go back."

Some even questioned Luo Cheng's age, he was young and vigorous, and he might not be able to take on a big responsibility.

As soon as this remark came out, Luo Yong and Qin Yong who were staying in Wagangzhai quit and yelled: "My family's Shaobao is not that kind of person. belly."

Luo Yong was even more irritable: "Anyone who is not convinced, just beat me up, if you can't beat me, just shut up obediently."

Those few people didn't dare to speak anymore, since Luo Cheng went down the mountain, the task of training the soldiers fell on Luo Yong, he was good at fighting.

Cheng Yaojin also indulged Luo Yong's words just now, now he is gnashing his teeth, wanting to scold those people who don't know what to do: If brother Luo Cheng really wants to go back, is it worth rebelling with them?Wouldn't it be enough to leave early, and save people again and again?

Cheng Yaojin quit, and started to play a rogue, didn't you elect me as emperor?Okay, then me, cough... I will open my mouth: "Luo Cheng has made indelible contributions to my great demon country, and he is specially appointed as the great general of the country, and the whole army is at his disposal."

As soon as these words came out, even Xu Maogong frowned.Ouch, I know you are partial to Luo Cheng, yes, he saved your life, and you like him in your heart, but you can't make such an unreliable will!

What does it mean to deploy the whole army at will?Is there any difference between him and the emperor?

Xu Maogong saw that everyone was frowning, and several of them were eager to stop him. He suddenly heard that someone came from outside the stockade to report, saying that there were more than a dozen people from outside the stockade. Brother Shan Wu, a tall and big horse, with people in front of him.

When Xu Maogong and Shan Xiongxin walked out of the hall and took a look, Shan Xiongxin was very excited. Isn't it his sister-in-law, niece, nephew, old lady and others who were brought on the horse like a sandbag?

My heart said who would dare to do this to them!Just when Shan Xiongxin was about to get angry, he saw that his old mother had been let down from the horse. As soon as he stood still, when he saw him, he burst into tears: "It's really my son——"

Shan Xiongxin was puzzled, and said, "Mother, why are you here?"

Old Madam Shan tucked her sleeves, wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "Son, you are really rebellious! Why didn't we get the letter? If it weren't for you heroes, we might all die in Zhuangzi."

Shan Xiongxin blamed himself too much when he heard that, he wanted to pick up his family immediately, but at that time everyone hadn't settled down yet, so the matter was delayed.

In the past few days, he remembered it, and was about to send someone to pick him up, but someone sent it to him without thinking.

Yan Lang, the leader, dismounted from his horse and rushed to Wagang Village. Everyone made a bow and said, "Xia Yanlang is the captain of Yan Yunqi's assault battalion under Luo Shaobao. The imperial court ordered the execution of Erxian Zhuang Erye's family. My Shaobao learned the news , ordered dozens of my brothers to rush to Erxian Village in Shanxi day and night to report the letter, but just as Shaobao thought, no one in the village believed me. Time was running out, so my brothers and I fainted the master's family with drugs Take it away, and dismiss your servants." The reason why the old lady didn't use the medicine was also to let her be a witness to the brothers.

Old Mrs. Shan said tremblingly: "Son! You really have to thank these people very much. They have worked so hard on this journey. Fortunately, we thought we were robbers and robbers. We resisted desperately and uttered a lot of insults. What a grievance. You guys."

When Shan Xiongxin heard the ins and outs, his eyes filled with tears, he didn't know what to say.

He wanted to kneel down to thank him, but was supported by Yan Lang: "What is Erye Shan doing? If you do this great gift, my family's Shaobao will not spare me."

Shan Xiongxin said with tears in his eyes: "Little brother Luo Cheng risked his life to save my family, regardless of past suspicions. I, Shan Xiongxin, am very grateful. In the future, if anyone who needs me, Shan Xiongxin, but needs it, I will die!"

Yan Lang pushed a few more words, and hurriedly asked people to help the unconscious family members on horseback back to the village.

Shan Xiongxin looked left and right, and asked, "Brother Yanlang, have you ever seen my wife?"

Just as Yan Lang was about to speak, the old lady robbed her and said, "My son, when your wife Wei Shi was passing through the gate, she was shot by an arrow from the soldiers who came to raid the house and died on the spot."

Shan Xiongxin felt sad again.

After all the family members were settled, Yan Lang and others welcomed into the main hall of Wagangzhai. Shan Xiongxin took the lead and said: "Everyone also knows that there is a gap between me, Shan Xiongxin, and Brother Luo Cheng, but today he ignored the previous suspicions and took a big risk to rescue him. My family is out of knife, this kindness, I will write it down, and I will make a grass knot in the future. But for Brother Luo Cheng's love, such righteousness, such demeanor, I also want to say something for him, this great general who protects the country , I really deserve it!"

After Shan Xiongxin said, Wang Junke, Wang Bodang, You Junda, Qi Li, etc. all raised their hands in agreement.Even if there are people who have opinions, they have given up their minds now.

Therefore, even though Luo Chengyuan was in the Beiping Mansion of Chang'an City, the position of the Great Demon Nation's National Protector General, who could deploy the entire army, had indeed been settled.
