At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 372
The bleak autumn wind blew by, and the withered and yellow thatch all over the mountain swayed at the same time, as if shaking their heads and sighing.A pitch-black old crow stood on top of a dead tree, and was examining an uninvited guest who broke into its territory with its pitch-black bird eyes.

At this moment, Yang Xuangan was alone, walking forward in the thick grass, like a walking corpse, covered in blood, with scars on his face, hardened hair sticking to his forehead, and bare feet cut by thatch Drenched with blood, but he didn't seem to notice it, and walked forward persistently.

There is a large area of ​​green pines and cypresses in front, which is the ancestral tomb of the Yang family in Hongnong Huayin. Yang Xuangan's father Yang Su, grandfather Yang Fu, and great-grandfather Yang Xuan are all buried here.

Yang Xuangan walked under the dead tree and thrust the spear he was dragging into the ground. He licked his chapped lips and felt his throat was as uncomfortable as a fire.The old crow on the tree did not escape, but tilted its head, condescendingly staring at Yang Xuangan under the tree.

Yang Xuangan raised his head, his eyes met the dark and cold eyes of the crow, he couldn't help shivering, his heart was extremely bitter, it seemed that he was indeed a dying person, and even this ominous bird showed signs of death, So linger.

A gust of autumn wind blew by, the dead branches fell off, and there was a snap, the old crow jumped up in shock, croaking and flying away!

Yang Xuan felt a sense of sadness in his heart, and whispered in a hoarse voice: "The autumn wind is bleak, and the dead branches are broken! The time is not good, and the birds are startled! The blood is not cold with the spear in hand, Gu Guying is the end of the overlord!"

The setting sun stretched the shadows of Yang Xuangan and the dead tree, the man and the tree seemed to have merged into one, extremely desolate, extremely lonely, until a horse blocked the setting sun...

Yang Xuangan set up an awning to look over, and saw a tall green horse standing quietly under the setting sun, and immediately sat a young man in black, with sword eyebrows and bright eyes, red lips and white teeth, a long knife on his waist, full of heroism!
If he had seen this person a few days ago, Yang Xuangan would definitely have shot at him, wishing he could tear him apart, but at this moment, he couldn't even think about killing him, instead he was a little relieved, he leaned against the dead tree and slowly Sitting down, he asked, "Is there water?"

"Yes!" Gao Bufan took off the water bag and threw it over.

Yang Xuan took it with a thank you, uncorked the cork and gulped it all down, still feeling dry in his throat, licked his lips and said, "Not enough!"

Gao Bufan didn't know where to take out a wine jar, and said, "I don't have any water, can wine work?"

Yang Xuangan's eyes brightened, and he blurted out: "Better!"

Gao Bufan got off his horse and handed the wine jar in front of Yang Xuangan, a trace of gratitude flashed in the latter's eyes, he took the wine jar and said, "Thank you!"

"No, I also took the offerings from Yang's ancestral grave. If it's not enough, I can go get another altar!" Gao Bufan said calmly.

Yang Xuan was stunned for a moment, and silently opened the mud seal of the wine jar, then raised his head and drank until the bottom of the wine jar was turned upside down, and half of the wine was poured on his body.

bang...

Yang Xuangan smashed the wine jar to the ground, laughed loudly and said, "I, Yang Xuangan, will offer sacrifices to Yang's ancestral tomb every three festivals and two birthdays. I never thought that one day I would drink it by myself. The only time and the last time, all ancestors Zong, I'm afraid you won't be able to drink anymore... Haha, you deserve it, you all deserve it, God doesn't bless me, why don't you bless me, you deserve it, haha, you deserve it!"

Yang Xuangan smiled and laughed, but couldn't help the tears in his tiger's eyes, and tears spilled on his shirt!
Gao Bufan stood aside and watched silently, his eyes were full of sympathy, rebellion is risky, you must be cautious, once it fails, the living will not die well, and the dead will not sleep well, this ancestral grave of the Yang family is only I'm afraid I can't escape the fate of being wiped out!
Yang Xuangan looked up at Gao Bufan, and said to himself, "I rebelled against the Sui Dynasty, am I wrong?"

Gao Bufan shook his head and said: "When you climb up and shout, there will be a crowd of responders, and the people's will, you are right!"

Yang Xuan said coldly: "Then why don't you help me, instead help Yang Guang?"

Gao Bufan was silent for a moment before replying: "I'm just helping myself."

Yang Xuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It seems that we are the same kind of people."

Gao Bufan shook his head and said, "No, we are not the same kind of people. You rebelled to become emperor, but I am not interested in being emperor."

Yang Xuangan sneered and said, "Throughout the ages, has anyone rebelled not to become emperor?"

Gao Bufan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It seems that there really isn't one!"

"So I think it's wrong to be an emperor?"

"No, but you are destined not to be one!"

"If I had killed you in Liyang Cang, I should have been able to become one, so I was wrong, and it was my fault that I didn't kill you at the beginning!"

Gao Bufan shook his head and said, "No, even if you killed me back then, you still wouldn't be able to be the one."

"Why?" Yang Xuangan frowned.

"Because the early rafters are rotten first, and the smart people come from behind!" Gao Bufan said flatly.

Yang Xuangan's pupils shrank, and he lowered his head thoughtfully. After a long time, he said bitterly: "Come from behind, hehe...Come from behind, maybe you are right, but someone has to come first, right? Without me, Yang Xuangan, there would be Li Xuangan, Zhang Xuangan, Zhao Xuangan!"

Gao Bufan nodded and said: "Yes, this is how the times make heroes, even though the Duke of Chu is defeated, he is glorious!"

Yang Xuangan took a deep look at Gao Bufan and asked, "Have you caught Li Mi?"

"I caught it, but it was just a stand-in. When you attacked Hongnong Palace, Li Mi ran away!" Gao Bufan said bluntly.

Yang Xuan felt that instead of being angry, he seemed to let go of something on his mind, nodded and said: "That's good!"

Gao Bufan's heart moved, and he asked: "Actually, you already knew that Li Mi beside you was a fake, right? Maybe you attacked Hongnong Palace just to let Li Mi leave disappointed, otherwise I would not have imagined that you were chasing soldiers so close at hand. You are stupid enough to attack the strong Hongnong Palace."

A gleam flashed in Yang Xuangan's eyes, and he smiled miserably: "I never thought that I, Yang Xuangan, would meet someone who understood me before I died." He groped for a small wooden fish from his bosom.

Gao Bufan's heart thumped wildly, and he touched his bosom subconsciously, because the little wooden fish in Yang Xuangan's hand was exactly the same as the one Bai Yunshang left for him, but the one Bai Yunshang gave him was clearly still the same. In my arms!

Yang Xuangan threw the little wooden fish over, Gao Bufan reached out to take it, looked at it calmly, and asked, "What is the meaning of Duke Chu?"

Yang Xuangan's expression was a bit complicated: "This thing is useless to me, but it is very useful to Gao Changqing, so I will give it to you as a reward for drinks!"

Gao Bufan frowned and said, "What the hell is this? What's the use? Please tell the Duke of Chu clearly!"

There was a strange smile on Yang Xuangan's face: "It is said that there is a secret about Buddhism hidden in the wooden fish, but there are six wooden fishes in total, and the secret can only be unlocked if you collect them all. It can be seen that you are a blessed person, maybe Have the opportunity!"
