A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 2
afternoon.

Under the shade of the tree at the bottom of the cliff, the man had woken up under Wu Huaiyu's silver needle.

The two stared at each other, speechless for a long time.

After the brief exchange just now, the information was too explosive, but he had to believe it. After all, the weird fog could bring him from the cold winter to the midsummer.

"You said that because Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and King Qi Yuanji rebelled, King Qin Li Shimin raised troops three days ago and killed them at Xuanwu Gate?"

Although Huaiyu said that he did not major in history but majored in management, he also knew about the change of Xuanwu Gate, and even more that it happened in the ninth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, which was the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago ah.

If you talk about the two kings and eight Sima incidents in the late Tang Dynasty and the change of Ganlu Temple, you may not remember it so clearly, but as long as you know a little about the Tang Dynasty, who doesn’t know the change of Xuanwumen.

How did I end up in Datang?
The injured knight hurriedly stopped him when he heard him calling King Qin by his name, "How can you call King Qin by his name? And you can't call Jian Jiancheng and Yuan Ji princes and kings of Qi any more. You have to call the common people Jiancheng and the common people Yuanji."

Seeing him so excited, Huaiyu remembered the etiquette that the ancients had to hide for the venerable, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Although the Xuanwumen Incident was obviously a rivalry between brothers, Li Shimin killed his brothers and seized power, it can be completed. He failed in the end and succeeded in the end, and this history book was naturally written by him.

Although the Xuanwumen incident has only passed three days, it has already been determined. It was the abolished prince Jiancheng and Yuanji who rebelled.On the day of the incident, Emperor Li Yuan issued an edict for the King of Qin to control the world's soldiers and horses and take charge of military affairs. Beheaded to death by Li Shimin.

Now he still calls Jian Jian the crown prince, which means there is a problem with his position.

"Your bright armor is pretty good. If it weren't for this armor, you would have died long ago." Wu Huaiyu hurriedly changed the subject, and as he spoke, he picked up a large body deck, on which there was a polished round armor piece that could be used as a mirror , This is the symbol of Datang Mingguang Armor.

The body armor is very heavy in the hand. There are two left and right pieces of this body armor, and a copper round guard in the center of each piece.

The carapace is a whole piece, and the breastplate carapace is connected on both shoulders with belt buckles. There are two layers of skirt and shoulder shawl.

The full set of Mingguang armor also includes helmet, neck guard and ear protection.

This thick armor saved the knight's life, especially the body armor and back armor blocked several critical attacks, leaving only many amazing marks on the armor. Although other parts were also injured by arrows and spears in several places, the fish-scale armor Leaf and cowhide lining also block most of the damage.

Of course, if the knight hadn't met Wu Huaiyu, just losing blood would have killed him.

The knight looked at the piece of armor in Huaiyu's hand, and said proudly, "This is a special reward given to me by His Royal Highness King Qin after the Xuanwumen Rebellion was put down three days ago after he promoted me to be a hundred riders in the north gate camp. Mingguang armor is made of 720 pieces of fish scale armor and 280 pieces of strip armor, and there are three round armors. It takes [-] working days to make a pair of Mingguang armor. My armor weighs [-] catties. , but only lieutenant-level military officers of the Weifu school can be equipped. Although our Baiqi is only from the ninth rank, but the Baiqi is the king of Qin who selected a hundred brave and loyal servants from the [-] North Gate Garrison Army, so that we can make an exception. First······"

Speaking of this, he was very excited and his face turned red.

After being selected as a hundred knights, he was directly awarded the lower rank of the ninth rank, and was given the school lieutenant Mingguang Armor, and even a leopard-print saddle and a tiger-print shirt.

Seeing that he was too excited, Wu Huaiyu hurriedly comforted him to calm down, and don't let the wound burst open.

He silently wrote down these key information.

Li Shimin is a generation of ruthless people. He led troops to fight at the age of 16, and now in his twenties, he directly overthrows his elder brothers and younger brothers, including Lao Tzu. Although he is still called King Qin, he has actually controlled the court.But he who knows the history knows better that the future Li Shimin will be even better, who will unify the world, conquer the Turks in the north, and all the grassland tribes he fought will call him Khan.

But why did he suddenly come to Datang?

It was like a dream, but there was no sign of waking up.

The old Taoist asked himself to go down the mountain to the north, did he also foresee all this?

"May I take the liberty to ask you your name?" After all, the knight couldn't help asking Wu Huaiyu's identity again. He had asked him several times since he woke up, but after Wu Huaiyu heard that this was Datang, he kept reversing the routine very cautiously. The knight's words did not directly answer his identity.

Facing his questioning again, he hesitated in his heart.

"I'm going to Wu Qingyang."

The knight seemed a little disappointed by the answer, staring at him and asked, "Is this the Taoist priest's original name?"

"I'm half a monk. Wu is my original surname. Taoist monks don't change their original surname. Qing is my generation's descendant in our sect. The name Qingyang is given by my master."

"The Taoist priest still has a layman's real name?"

Seeing his eager questioning, Wu Huaiyu hesitated for a long time and finally nodded, "My lay name is Wu Huaiyu."

The knight rushed forward excitedly, startling Huaiyu a lot, thinking that the corpse had turned into a zombie.

"Huaiyu, it really is you. I am brother Huaiyi, why don't you recognize brother?" the knight shouted loudly while hugging Wu Huaiyu, even crying.

Huaiyu was stunned.

Brother?

"You really don't remember, look at my brother's face. I have been thinking about you all the time for the past nine years. Although we, Aye, Auntie, never mentioned you on the surface, every year on your birthday and New Year's Eve At that time, and the day when you were taken away nine years ago, Aye Auntie would put a pair of bowls and chopsticks on the table for you, and make you your favorite flax pancakes..."

"It's been nine years, you've grown up, but brother still recognized you at a glance. Take a closer look at brother, we look exactly the same. Although I'm darker than you, look at the little mole on the bridge of your left nose, you I have it, and our Aye has it too, it’s not wrong.”

Huaiyu shook his head.

He didn't understand what was going on, this wasn't soul wear, why did Tang's brother come here?
The knight refused to give up, "Maybe it's because you didn't remember the fall into the water nine years ago?"

He hugged Wu Huaiyu and refused to let go, "Erlang, I'm brother Huaiyi. Our hometown is Wenshui, Bingzhou, Hedong. Nine years ago, our Aye and our Wu clan followed His Majesty from the dragon and marched all the way. Chang'an, after that Aye was ordered to stay in Chang'an, and settled in Sanyuan by the Baiqu River in the north of Weibei, and became the emperor Yuan Cong with the [-] rebels left behind, and took turns guarding the north gate...

Last year, Aye's 21th birthday was over, and I was [-] years old. Aye begged to retire because of his old age. According to the practice of the Imperial Army, he let me take over and enter the Forbidden Army's barracks. After a year, I officially entered the barracks. Camp, I will be on duty for the first time in the first month, and I will be on duty for the second time this month..."

The knight was very excited and decided that Huaiyu was his brother.

"Back then, my father stayed in Chang'an after entering Chang'an with His Majesty. He wrote to his hometown in Bingzhou and asked the whole family to move to a new home in Sanyuan. Our family followed other clansmen and fellow villagers to go south. When crossing the Yellow River, Erlang, you accidentally fell into the Yellow River. Blame me, I didn't take good care of you and let you fall into the water."

Speaking of this, the Cavaliers blamed themselves very much, and they couldn't let go of it after nine years.

"Fortunately, the tribe rescued you in time, but at night you were hot and talking nonsense. We invited a doctor but were helpless. We happened to pass by an old Taoist. He said that he could take you back to Zhongnanshan Taoist temple for treatment, and he also said that he would accept you as a Aniang had no choice but to agree. We left the address of our new home in Sanyuan and said that we would come to see you when the new home was settled, but when Aye, Aniang and the others entered Zhongnan Mountain half a month later, they only saw the burnt Taoist temple. There are still some bones left..."

"Aye, Niang, they don't believe that you are gone, they have been inquiring about you all these years."

He pointed to Huaiyu's nose, "Do you still remember that when we were young, a fortune teller once told Aye that we had a mole on the left nose, saying that the mole would hurt our fortune, so Auntie would burn our mole upon hearing this. At that time, you were only three years old and I was six years old, we were so scared that we cried, but in the end it was Aye who persuaded me, it was just Auntie, don’t you remember?”

Wu Huaiyu looked at his excited look, then at his almost identical face and that little mole, and wondered in his heart, how could there be such a coincidence, not only did the two look the same, but also He actually has a second brother named Huaiyu, who should be this year.

Although I am in my 20s, I am fair-looking. Some people may believe that I am eighteen. After all, the knight on the opposite side said that he is 21 this year, but Huaiyu looks like 31 on his face.

Maybe this was planned long ago?That Huaiyu was murdered by bandits a long time ago, but he traveled here.

Wu Huaiyu looked down at herself, wearing a Taoist robe and shoes, and a sword in the dust.

Then I turned my head and looked at the mules "green cow, white horse" and dogs "tiger and lion" who were eating melons and watching the show comfortably under the shade of a tree.

Came to Datang inexplicably, accidentally rescued the knight, maybe took advantage of the opportunity to recognize the elder brother?In this way, it can be regarded as having an identity?His younger brother might have been killed, so there would be no danger in taking his place, and he could comfort the whole family?

"I, I have been cultivating Taoism in the mountains with my master. I don't remember what happened nine years ago. The master said that I had a serious illness nine years ago, and my brain was almost burnt out. I forgot all the previous things."

"Where is your master, take me there, he must remember what happened back then, remember our family, I want to ask him, since he escaped from the bandits back then, why didn't he come to us in the past nine years, why didn't he tell you identity."

"Master became immortal last night. His last words told me to go down the mountain and go north. I became immortal before I finished my confession. I didn't expect to meet you when I went down the mountain..."

One sentence does not remember the past, and then the master died again, allowing him to advance and retreat freely.

Hearing this explanation, Wu Huaiyi became even more convinced. With the exact same appearance, he came down from Zhongnan Mountain and was dressed in Taoist robes. Whoever it is, is it not his second brother.

"Erlang, we had a hard time looking for you. God has eyes. Not only did our brothers meet again, but you also saved my life. Aye, Auntie, I don't know how happy I am... ··”

Wu Huaiyi, who is a bit mature and mature, is also a majestic Emperor Yuan Cong from the Forbidden Army, and Li Shimin's newly elected Baiqi attendant. He was seriously injured and did not shed a tear, but this time he was crying with snot and tears.

Wu Huaiyu couldn't help being a little touched, this brother's relationship is really good.

"Go home, elder brother will take you home, let's go home!" Huaiyi hugged Huaiyu tightly.

"You're so badly injured, don't move around."

"Erlang, don't worry, this little injury will kill me. That bastard Xue Wanche will settle the bill with them later. Help me up, let's go back to Chang'an quickly. I will report to His Royal Highness King Qin first, report Xue thief's whereabouts, and then I will take you back. Home."

"Erlang, don't worry, you will be able to go home soon. Our family now has land in Sanyuan, Weibei, and life is going well. You don't need to be a Taoist anymore. When you go home, let your father register your household registration. From now on, our family will It's all round..." Wu Dalang supported Huaiyu and was about to get up.

Wu Huaiyu couldn't persuade him, so he had to help him onto the mule Qingniu, packed his Mingguang armor on his back, and rode the mule white horse by himself. Wu Huaiyi's horse was dead, so he had to put the leopard on the saddle. Take off the belt, and the dead horse can't take care of it for the time being.

Wu Huaiyi led the way, followed by Wu Huaiyu, followed by two dogs, and they headed north.

Go north, Chang'an, is this what the old Taoist meant when he said go north?
