Traveling through the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

"Luo Cheng? Luo Cheng?" Yang Guang repeatedly called out from the main hall of Jinyang Palace.

Yu Wencheng turned his head away, and saw that the man was opening his mouth slightly, with a blank expression on his face, obviously he hadn't recovered from the content of the imperial decree just now.

Luo Cheng almost thought that he was hallucinating. If he really wanted to sleep, someone would hand him a pillow. You must know that he had been muttering in his heart these two days when he would take the initiative to ask Ying to go to "Mie Wagang", but now Yang Guang proposed it before him. up.

Luo Cheng suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, but didn't show it on his face, he just hurriedly stepped forward, lifted his robe and knelt down, kowtowed and thanked him: "I obey the order."

Yang Guang originally ordered someone to explain his will, but when he saw that Luo Cheng stayed there for a long time without thanking him, he became suspicious, could it be that he was unwilling?

Yes, marching and fighting is not as comfortable as staying with the emperor.

In order to dispel Luo Cheng's hesitation, Yang Guang said earnestly: "Luo Cheng, a man should have a history of the four directions, and it is not too late to make achievements. Now the country is in troubled times, so why not give full play to your strengths and become famous all over the world. If you put down the thieves in one fell swoop, you will be a great hero of our Great Sui Dynasty, and then I will make you a marquis and prime minister, and you will be crowned king."

Yang Guang felt that this was already a reward that others could not even ask for, and even imagined. With such a high-ranking official and rich salary in front of him, it is hard to be tempted.

But Luo Cheng was an exception. He didn't think about that at all. He had always been thinking about how to evacuate the entire Beiping Mansion safely.

He, Luo Cheng, took refuge in Wagang Village, but behind him there is the entire Beiping Mansion. It is easy for him to leave, but what about the father, mother, concubine and elder brother?What about the staff and soldiers of Beiping Mansion?What's more, in these years, the crafts he has worked hard to figure out, and the improved weapons made by skilled craftsmen cannot fall into Yang Guang's hands. All these people or things must be taken away.

In this way, it is really not easy for such a huge team to escape safely.

After much deliberation, Luo Cheng came up with a solution, that is, he recommended himself to attack Wagang. With the precedent of his backer Yang Lin leading the Dengzhou government to attack Wagang, Luo Cheng led the Beiping government to attack Wagang. Gang is no surprise.At that time, everything that can be used in the Beiping Mansion will be brought along, and nothing will be left to Yang Guang.

Originally, when Yu Wenhuaji recommended the four fathers and sons of the Pei family and Zhang Dabin to attack Wagangzhai, Luo Chengcheng planned to do so, but Yu Wenhuaji got ahead of him. Now he was competing with Li Yuanba, but it was a mistake The collision made Yang Guang even more impressed, and offered to let him attack Wagang in Beiping Mansion.

This imperial decree coincided with his thoughts, it was so in line with his wishes that Luo Cheng didn't realize it for a while, and just stood there in a daze.

After regaining his senses, he took the order to thank him. He didn't know what Yang Guang was thinking, but he had a hundred hearts and 1 willingness.

Although Luo Cheng didn't show it on the surface, according to Yu Wencheng's understanding of him, he could still see something strange from the bottom of his eyes, the joy of getting what he wanted.

Yu Wencheng lowered his head and pondered, his brows slightly furrowed.

Ever since the imperial decree was issued, and Beiping Mansion took over the imperial decree, Luo Yi began intensive preparations with the imperial decree in one hand and Luo Cheng's graffiti letters in the other.

Luo Yi wasn't too surprised by this strategy of "fake chaos, real uprising". As early as when Luo Cheng was slipped away by Yang Guang's imperial decree and walked in front of the imperial court, he was frightened every day, and at the same time, he was ready with both hands.Now it's just taking the burden and people, and going directly to Wagang Village, there is no need to pack the burden, it has been packed long ago.

Luo Cheng was in Taiyuan, Shanxi, waiting for his father and elder brother to lead the "insurgency army" to join them and set off together.

In Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, in the tea house on the central street, Li An carefully fanned the wind for the grandfather beside him, and looked at his face from time to time.

Li An couldn't stop complaining. With Luo Shaobao's expedition getting closer and closer, the third son's temper became more and more irritable every day, which made them unable to live.

When I got up this morning, because Luo Shaobao was about to go to war, the third son was in a mood of irritability, and he just cursed at a girl, so that he could not die. It happened that Luo Shaobao saw it. It's just that they didn't see each other, and didn't even leave a corner of their eyes.

The third son is in a bad mood, and he is afraid that he can't help but talk to his servants while staying in the mansion, and maybe he will do something [that is inevitable]. If Luo Shaobao sees this, he might think of him, no, once Early in the morning, I ran out of the house full of anger, and came to sit in the teahouse.

Originally, it was early in the morning, and the teahouse hadn't opened yet, but since it was the master who called the door, who would dare not open it?So the huge tea house is located in the center of the street, and there are only one table of guests on the second floor.

Li Yuanji poured three big cups of tea into his stomach angrily, put the cups on the table with a bang, and said, "No matter what I do, he doesn't want to see me. No? This morning it was obviously that dead girl who didn't have eyes and broke the vase in the living room, so I saw it and scolded her a few times."

Li Anxin said, that girl Qing'er has always been nimble and meticulous in her work, how could she smash a vase just by wiping the table?Wasn't it because seeing you suddenly appearing in the hall with a dark face, I was so frightened that I smashed the vase all at once.

Li Yuanji vented his anger for a long time, and seeing no one around him responded, he turned his head to the side, raised his head and glanced at the people beside him: "Hey, I said why are you in a daze, don't you think that the master took you to the door early in the morning?" You went out for a walk, right?"

Li An hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "Isn't this little one trying to figure out a way, I just got engrossed in thinking about it."

Li Yuanji squinted his eyes suspiciously: "Then what did you think of?"

Li An cautiously said: "Third Young Master, look at Luo Shaobao. He is upright and straightforward, and he handles things justly and decently. Don't look a little arrogant, but he has a good heart. He is easy to fight against injustice, and puts the people first..."

Li Yuanji heard it very pleasing to his ears, squinted his eyes, and said in a comfortable mood: "That is, that is the person I have my eyes on."

Li An choked, I said, what are you showing off here, there are too many people who like Luo Shaobao, go ask the girls in the mansion, if there is anyone who doesn't like you, you are just one of them, it's still a matter of character The worst one, blah blah blah.

"Say, go on."

"Hey." Li An felt that since the third son discovered his secret "little secret", he became more and more abnormal.

"Third son, do you see that you and Luo Shaobao are a little inappropriate?" What's a little inappropriate? It's two extremes, okay? If you two can get together, I'll cut off your head and give it to you When the ball is kicked.

Li Yuanji had listened quite pleasantly just now, but when he heard this sentence suddenly, his eyes widened, and Li An was so frightened that he hurriedly remedied: "Third Young Master, look, look, you are in a hurry again."

"Who do you say is inappropriate with whom? Are you still in good spirits?"

Li Yuanji kicked, but Li An didn't dare to dodge. He took a slap, clutched his buttocks and said aggrievedly: "Third Young Master, I haven't finished talking yet."

Li Yuanji said with a gloomy face, "Say, I'd like to see what else you have to say."

Li An rubbed the sore spot and said, "Third Young Master, why did Luo Shaobao get angry with you this morning? It's not because he saw you bullying others. Luo Shaobao hates bullying the weak the most."

Li Yuanji widened his eyes and said: "How did I bully her? She was obviously at fault first! I didn't let the little hoof be dragged down and hit a few big boards. I have already shown mercy."

Li An said: "Does Luo Shaobao know?"

Seeing Li Yuanji's pensive look, Li An said again: "Yes, he doesn't know. He doesn't know anything. He doesn't know that the girl caused a catastrophe and broke the master's favorite vase, and he doesn't know how much you scolded me." This sentence is already an extremely light punishment, what Luo Shaobao saw was that you scolded people indiscriminately, no matter how unpleasant it was, the girl who scolded couldn't stop crying."

Li Yuanji really thought about it, and asked: "Then what are you going to do? You can't ask me to explain to him now."

"Then would you like to go?"

Li Yuanji stared and said: "He doesn't want to see me right now, he looks at me from a distance and then leaves, how can I go? Hot face sticking to someone's cold ass?"

"Okay, if you don't explain this matter, don't explain it. We have to think twice in the future. About beating and swearing, third son, please take it easy. Even if you do it, don't let Luo Shaobao see it."

Li Yuanji said impatiently: "It's up to you to say."

Li An was choked by his words, Lord, you are just being stubborn.

Li An changed the subject and said again: "First of all, you have to do something to make Luo Shaobao change his opinion of you, right?"

"what's up?"

Li An thought for a while and said, "For example, fighting against injustice, hoeing the strong and supporting the weak, fighting for justice and so on..."

Now Li Yuanji was stumped. In the past, it was others who complained about him and "threatened" him. Let him suddenly change his role and become a good person, which is really not used to.

Li Yuanji was thinking about where to start, should he find a second servant to play tricks, and then ask him to punish the bully or something... when he heard Li An beside him exclaim: "Master, the opportunity has come, You see, there are people who are rushing on the central street, disregarding human life, this is not bad, it's your turn."

Li Yuanji poked his head out to have a look, it was true.

I saw one person and one horse entering the crowded morning market. They didn't show any intention of slowing down. Instead, they kept waving their whips. Isn't this a disregard for human life?

Li Yuanji had completely forgotten at this moment that he behaved like this every time he hunted.

Li Yuanji jumped down while supporting the guardrail of the teahouse on the second floor. He picked up the bamboo pole beside him and swung it, hitting the man on the horse's leg. He had been exhausted for a long time, and after this beating, he was beaten to the north and south.

The man rolled twice on the ground, knelt down on one knee, with a hoarse voice in his throat: "Who is the sneak attack!"

Li An ran down the stairs in a fart, and ran to Li Yuanji, with his hands on his waist, with a dog-legged face: "Who are you? How dare you gallop your horse wildly in the downtown area of ​​Taiyuan City, gallop your horse Murder! If this hurts someone, what should I do? I happened to be seen by the third prince of Taiyuan City, and this will save me from an accident." Li An straightened his chest and boasted triumphantly, "My third son has always had a hoe The strong will help the weak, and I can't look down on your bullying attitude."

It’s okay if you don’t say this, but if you explain it so plainly, the crowd on the street ran away in fright. Who did the murder?Who hurts?He didn't hear clearly at all, but he knew that Li San was going out again, so he should pack up and go home quickly, so as not to hurt innocent people.

No, as soon as the crowd dispersed, the person who fell from the horse was highlighted.

The man who fell from the horse staggered to his feet and touched the things on his chest, but luckily they were still there.Glancing at the young man contemptuously, he put his eyes on Li Yuanji, clasped his fists with both hands, and said indignantly on his face: "I am the Ten Taibao under the command of Yang Lin, the backer of Dengzhou Prefecture. The dispatch is sent to the emperor in a hundred miles, and I hope that the third son will lead the way and take me to see the emperor."

Li An was stunned, his neck shrank, mother, what kind of life am I, casually speaking of a person, but he is still the backer of the king of the mountain.

I can't stop this, Li An now thinks of the backer.He hid behind Li Yuanji, Lord, you have to play in this scene, I can't handle it.

Li Yuanji glared fiercely at the person next to him, "Damn... Let me stop the eight hundred li urgent message!"Long life is not it?If you stop it, you will stop it, and now you are so cowardly!

Li Yuanji calmed down, glanced condescendingly at Yang Lin's Shi Taibao, and said calmly, "Since it's a misunderstanding, please come with me."

The Shi Taibao now also doesn't care about pursuing the responsibility for intercepting the eight-hundred-mile urgent mail. He only thinks that on the way he came, seeing that the edict had been issued, Luo Cheng and Luo Yi led the Luo family's army to meet up and go to Wagangzhai. This is simply letting the tiger go back to the mountain !I hope Luo Yi hasn't arrived yet.

The Shi Taibao was worried, so he put aside his suspicions and hurriedly asked Li Yuanji, "May I ask if Luo Yi's army has ever arrived in Taiyuan?"

"Not yet." Li Yuanji was feeling restless, if Luo Yi came, wouldn't Luo Cheng have to leave.

The Ten Taibao breathed a sigh of relief, and said to himself: "Fortunately, fortunately, there is still time."

Now, Li Yuanji has a better understanding. What does he mean by this?He was here to deliver the eight-hundred-mile urgent mail again, so he couldn't help but feel suspicious. Could it be that Yang Lin knew something?

You must know that Luo Cheng voted for Wagang a long time ago. He and his elder brother-in-law Chai Shao were sworn brothers, and he killed Wei Wentong to save him. Even Yang Lin's long snake formation was written by him. Don't cut him alive... Wait, maybe old man Yang Lin saw the clue?

When Li Yuanji thought about it, his pace slowed down, and he said: "The emperor is going to inspect the excavation of the canal, why don't you follow me into Li's mansion and wait for the emperor to summon you."

The Shi Taibao didn't dare to delay at all, and said anxiously: "Why don't you take me to the emperor?"

Seeing his anxious appearance, Li Yuanji became firmer in his thoughts, and his face darkened suddenly. The darkened Li Yuanji had a bit of evil spirit, which really made people feel a little chilled.

Li Yuanji said in a rough voice: "I don't know where the emperor is. I can't bear the crime of spying on the emperor."

The Shi Taibao was choked by his words, so he could only nod his head in agreement, and rested in the Li residence for a while, waiting for the emperor to summon him.

Li Yuanji made Li An go down and prepare with a look, and welcomed him into his yard.

When Shi Taibao still didn't know it, when he was waiting to be summoned in the room, he just felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep after a while. At this time, Li An asked someone to collect the incense, and touched left and right from the man's arms, and took out He wrote a letter and handed it to Li Yuanji, and punched the man twice.

Li Yuanji opened the letter and looked at it. He was shocked, and he didn't even show the corner of his eyes to the person on the table. He turned around with the letter and was about to go out.

"Third Young Master, Third Young Master, where are you going?"

"Go to Luo Cheng, something happened."

Li An also couldn't understand what happened, so he asked: "Then what should I do with this person?"

Li Yuanji turned his head, approached the man, grabbed the man's hair suddenly, forced him to raise his head, drew the knife with the other hand, and in the blink of an eye, saw the sharp blade slashed across the man's throat, his neck tilted, and he didn't angry.

"Chop people into meat paste and feed them to dogs."

"Third Young Master...that's Yang Lin's messenger...or the adopted son!"

Li Yuanji glanced at Li An: "Then you dare to punch him twice and kick him twice?"

"I, I... the little one..." Li An was speechless, I'm used to being a dog's leg... I'm really used to bullshit and bullshit.

Li Yuanji waved his hand impatiently and said: "Go, clean up the corpse, so that no one can see the clues. If he is alive, Luo Cheng is dead. You and I know this. Don't let the third people know."

Li An responded with a bitter face, and heard a voice coming from the front: "Don't look aggrieved, what are you hypocritical, isn't this your specialty?"

Li An really burst into tears this time, whoever is born is good at this job... Wasn't he forced to follow you.
