I, the son of Yang Guo, abducted Zhang Sanfeng across the heavens

There was silence in the hall for a long time.

"Old prince, please stop making trouble." Finally, Yang Jian spoke up. "I won't even mention your health condition. You are already seventy years old this year. Why are you still going out to do this? I can't let a normal seventy-year-old man suffer this."

"No, I have to go." Hua Shi's attitude was firm.

"I know you are worried about the loss of our Tang Dynasty's national system. If you are like this, I can arrange for a few more capable people to go there, right?" Yang Jian called Li Shimin: "Shimin, who did you call that young man before? Do you want to arrange for him to be used?"

Li Shimin was now a middle-aged man in his forties. Compared with his earlier sharpness, he was now much calmer. He walked out of the court officials slowly and calmly, bowed deeply to Yang Jian, and said, "Your Majesty, this man is Xue Li, Xue Rengui."

"Oh, yes, it's him. What's up with this guy? I said he has some skills?" Yang Jian asked.

"Yes, this man is very good at martial arts. He is good at bow, sword, horse, foot and archery. He is good at long-distance fighting on horseback and short-distance fighting on foot. He is also good at military formation and soldier training. It can be said that he is a natural candidate for a general."

Li Shimin also understood his position. His family was destined to no longer be able to serve as important officials in the Tang Dynasty. There was no direct competition, so he was very keen to recommend talents to the imperial court.

This way, when I die in the future, the Li family will be able to take care of me.

"Call him up to rehearse it." As the saying goes, an old child is an old child. Yang Jian is now nearly a hundred years old, but his mentality is almost like that of a child. He is holding a court meeting, but he asks people to come up to rehearse it.

Although today's court meeting was originally held for the purpose of obtaining Buddhist scriptures from the West, there was indeed no important government affairs. Even if there were, the cabinet and government offices at all levels across the country have already handled it, so things will not go wrong.

But such a casual approach still makes people feel ridiculous.

"Your Majesty, don't you know how big your territory is?" Li Shimin said with a smile, "What if this kid is at a certain border?"

"Don't talk nonsense. How could you and I not know this? No matter where this guy was before, since you have recommended him, you must have been temporarily transferred to the capital. Maybe he is in your prime minister's residence now. Why are you talking nonsense to me?"

Yang Jian was also happy.

From this, we can see that the atmosphere in the Yang Tang court is really good. If any other emperor said such words to his subjects, it would be a sign of killing and bloodshed.

But now, Yang and Li were talking in a very literal sense, as if they were good friends chatting.

Li Shimin was Yang Jian's grandson, and he loved to joke with the old man. It could be said that the emperor and his subject had a very happy time together.

Of course, this has nothing to do with anything else. The real reason why the relationship between the monarch and his subject is so free of suspicion is because Yang Gui is in charge.

Both Yang Jian and Li Shimin knew that as long as Yang Gui was around, no matter what means they used, they would not be able to turn the situation around.

Since this is the premise, Yang Jian was not reluctant to show his appreciation for the younger generation and his approachable attitude.

"Okay then, call Xue Rengui. Also, call Jiang Song as well." Li Shimin shouted.

Soon, a young general came outside the hall and saluted the officials in the court.

Jiang Song also followed closely, holding his gun, and stroked his beard while coughing, "Li Shimin, cough, cough, what do you mean? My brother just died today, and you want me to perform for you? My body is not good enough, and I might die with my brother tomorrow. Can't you find Wu Yunzhao?"

"It will be too difficult for Xiao Xue to find Wu Yunzhao. I am here to support him, not to suppress him." Li Shimin knew that no matter how strong Xue Rengui was, he would not be stronger than Wu Yunzhao, who was taught by Yang Gui himself.

This guy's strength is now comparable to that of Teng Qingshan, who has innate Gangjin. What did Xue Rengui have to eat to be able to fight with him?

On the contrary, Jiang Song, the "gun master" who competed for supremacy in those days, was born with the luck of the times and thus had such strong strength. In essence, he is still an ordinary person.

The old man is over sixty years old this year. Although he is experienced, he has little strength and endurance left. He is just right to be a sparring partner for Xue Rengui.

"Lao Jiang, if you are like this, you and Xiao Xue will have a martial arts show, and after that I will give your family an extra high official position."

Li Shimin fooled Jiang Song.

In this life, under Hua Shi's suggestion, the two brothers Jiang Chun and Jiang Song still took their mother's surname and did not change their names to Luo Chun and Luo Song because the Luo family was too poor.

Hua Shi told the Jiang brothers at that time that your father abandoned his wife and children and was such a coward. Even if you take the surname Luo, it will be Luo Cheng who will inherit the Luo family's patriarch in the future. It is meaningless.

Why don't good men build their own careers? You two have reestablished the Jiang family's reputation, and your ancestor Jiang Wei will be honored by it.

So, the Jiang brothers have always been called Jiang Chun and Jiang Song.

Because of this, the Jiang family was born. Since they did not change their surname to Luo, they also had to consider the descendants of their own surname Jiang.

"Hold on." Jiang Song nodded, holding the spear he used as a walking stick in his hand, and said to Xue Rengui: "Xiao Xue, right? I'll try it, right, old man?"

The two men each led a horse, and were just sparring, without armor, and they set up their battle formations in the square inside the palace, ready for a battle.

"Boy, you come first. I'll give you three moves." Jiang Song, this old friend, becomes more and more arrogant as he gets older.

"Old General, I am sorry for offending you!" Xue Rengui was not polite to Jiang Song. Before he was born, Jiang Song was already a powerful general. Even Li Yuanba at that time was not his opponent. He could defeat thousands of troops with one gun. He had no right to be polite to such a man.

Xue Rengui swung the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, and the crescent blade chopped Jiang Song on the head.

"Are you being polite to me?" Jiang Song narrowed his eyes and raised his gun, and the tip of the gun actually poked right on the edge of the Fang Tian Hua Ji. One point against one line, this move instantly showed his amazing skills as a "gun master".

The civil and military officials around him were all convinced.

"It's been a while since I've seen General Jiang take action. This old man is still so clean and neat."

"Yes, he is really a master of spears. He is even stronger than Li Yuanba back then. The only one who can suppress him is probably Wu Yunzhao, right?"

Many old ministers were whispering in the background.

Not only ordinary people, but even Mu Cha was impressed by this move.

He originally thought that mortals fighting was nothing interesting, but seeing that Yang Gui was very interested and Guanyin Bodhisattva followed him out, he could only follow. But he could see the trick in Jiang Song's shot.

In terms of strength, speed and magic power, beating ten thousand Jiang Songs is just a breeze, the problem is this "skill".

Not to mention that Jiang Song was using the tip of a gun. Mu Cha thought to himself that if he faced a strong opponent of the same level, even the iron stick in his hand might not be able to hit the opponent's thin inner arc edge.

"I dare not!" Xue Rengui used the force of the rebound to swing his hand back, and the vertical chop turned into a horizontal sweep, heading towards Jiang Song's head again.

"when!"

Jiang Song held the gun upright and flicked it lightly, swinging the Fang Tian Hua Ji away again.

Xue Rengui still did not stop, using the force of the swing to strike upwards from below, trying to cut off Jiang Song's legs and feet.

"when!"

Jiang Song thrust his gun downwards, blocking the third halberd.

"Okay, three moves are done, can we have a good fight now?" Jiang Song also saw the arrogance in this kid's heart. He didn't want to offend his senior, but he also didn't want to take advantage of him and deliberately use some weak moves.

"Yes, old general, be careful!"

Xue Rengui's aura suddenly changed, and the Fang Tian Hua Ji began to dance like a raging sea.

Jiang Song was not to be outdone, and he wielded his spear like a dragon emerging from water or a python turning over, with the shadow of the spear entangled all over his body. "Ding ding dang dang", the coldness of the soldiers' spears flew everywhere, and some old officials and civil officials involuntarily took a few steps back.

Some eunuchs risked their lives to come up and "protect" Yang Jian, but were pushed away by Yang Jian.

"Haha, a bunch of strong young men are no match for a 100-year-old man like me."

shit.

Everyone rolled their eyes at Yang Jian in their hearts. What kind of background do you have? You are a disciple of the gods, and you can live to be 150 years old by playing cards every day. How can we, a group of mortals, compare with you?
"Good, good, you fought well. Jiang Song, you old man, now you have come to this day?" Li Shimin also narrowed his eyes and stood firm against the strong wind without retreating a single step.

He had not forgotten how his brother died. Although it was Luo Cheng who killed Li Yuanba in the end, if Jiang Song had not defeated Li Yuanba and knocked him off his horse, injuring his limbs and making him unable to move, how could Luo Cheng have been able to kill him?

To be honest, Li Shimin and his Jiang brothers and the Luo family were mortal enemies.

Li Shimin was so excited for a reason. Although Jiang Song showed his skill as a "spear master", Xue Rengui was holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji, and the two fought for a long time, but he did not lose the upper hand at all.

Xue Rengui's skill in using the Fang Tian Hua Ji was as good as Jiang Song's. And his strength was no less than Jiang Song's, a veteran who had come out of the era of Li Yuanba and other tough guys who could beat a million with a single blow.

Ding ding dang dang, the two fought for a long time, but there was still no winner.

This is certainly related to the fact that Jiang Song is just an ordinary man and his strength has declined with age, but it also shows that Xue Rengui is by no means an ordinary general. Even in the chaotic times thirty or forty years ago, he is no less powerful than Li Yuanba.

After fighting for a while, the 25-year-old Xue Rengui was fine. Instead, he became more and more energetic. But Jiang Song, who was over 60 years old, was a little short of endurance.

"I never thought that after that era of great prosperity for the human race, there would still be such a powerful general!" Jiang Song admired in his heart.

After entering the Age of Gods and Demons, Jiang Song more or less understood the reason why so many inhuman warriors emerged in those days. It actually had little to do with the reincarnation of gods and immortals. After all, the reincarnation of gods and immortals only had a little foundation. They were definitely stronger than ordinary people, but they were not to the point where they could kill a million people.

Including Jiang Song himself, these inhuman warriors were all born with the destiny of heaven. But now the era of destiny of the human race has passed, and the destiny has been evenly digested in the Tang Dynasty. Now is the era of the great prosperity of the West. The gods and demons have taken action, and the human race has become a weak race again.

However, in this post-Qiyun era, there is still a brave general like Xue Rengui who is no less powerful than himself. This shows how talented and tough he is.

Jiang Song, who was already somewhat exhausted, looked at the young general in white robe in front of him, and the more he looked, the happier he was to have a successor. At this moment, Jiang Song's mood was exactly the same as that of the seventy-year-old Zhao Yun when he saw his ancestor Jiang Wei, who was as good as him on the battlefield.

A resonance that spans hundreds of years of time and space.

"Okay, let's stop here." Just as Jiang Song was about to admit defeat, he heard Yang Jian speak first.

"General Jiang is still strong and vigorous, and he has the style of his grandfather. And General Xue is also very powerful. Our Tang Dynasty is a transitional period, and talented people are emerging in large numbers. Why should we worry about not having everything prosper?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xue Rengui was a very smart young man. He immediately dismounted and kowtowed to thank the emperor for his grace.

Because he is not a general at all, Li Shimin only transferred him to Chang'an to prepare for reuse, but the specific position has not been determined. But Yang Jian called him General Xue in front of all the civil and military officials, the ancestors of the country, and Guanyin Bodhisattva, so after today, he is at least a general.

This is a triple promotion.

"Your Majesty, this boy's martial arts are truly extraordinary. If the fight continues, I will definitely not be his opponent." Jiang Song was very honest. He held the gun and clasped his fists, "I hope you will not treat this man unfairly."

"I don't need you to say it. I was the one who recommended Xue Rengui. How could I treat him unfairly? Old thief Jiang, get out of here right now. You are embarrassing yourself." Li Shimin felt proud in front of the enemy who killed his brother.

By the way, because in this history, there was no Li Tang, no Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan, there was only a Li Shimin who served as the prime minister of Yang Tang, so there was no dispute over the throne among the Li family.

The situation in history where Emperor Taizong of Tang killed his brothers and forced his father to abdicate no longer existed. The Li family got along well with each other. Instead, Li Yuanba, the strongest member of the Li family, became the only member of the Li family who died.

In this situation, not to mention Li Shimin, including Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuanji, all expressed hostility towards the Luo family and the Jiang family, especially Li Shimin, who had the best relationship with Li Yuanba.

"Go to hell. Although I am old, I can still beat three or five hundred of you. If you don't believe me, come and try. I will tie my hands and feet and not wear armor. I will allow you to wear full armor and carry a spear and crossbow to fight me in single combat. Let's see who will die between us."

If Jiang Song had ignored Li Shimin at other times, Li Shimin, who was a good-tempered and arrogant man, would have felt that it was not worth it to get angry with a defeated general. But today, Luo Cheng had just died.

"You..." Although Li Shimin was very angry, he had no idea what to do.

There was nothing he could do. He was not the emperor, so he could not kill Jiang Song with an official decree, and Yang Jian would not allow it. If it was a private fight, Yang Jian would not forbid it, but whoever Li Shimin sent would be beaten anyway. His brother had already been killed, so what else could he do?
"What are you two arguing about in front of the Bodhisattva? Each of you will be fined one year's salary." Yang Jian waved his hand to shut the two of them up, then turned to look at Hua Shi: "Old Prince, is this Xue Rengui worthy of the important task of accompanying the pilgrim on his journey to obtain the scriptures?"
