Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Chapter 75: After capturing Yanyun City, tens of thousands of eyes watched him proclaim himself emperor!
the other side.
After Chen Qingzhi led his men to clean up the battlefield, he took these Han people and dragged the corpses towards Fushui Town.
"Uncle, let me help you."
A white-robed guard wanted to go forward to help, but the old man refused, mocking himself: "No need, the burden on you is heavier, so don't get tired, old man, I was born with such a low life! Lin Lao... They still have to collect the corpse of their mother-in-law..."
As he spoke, his old eyes became moist and his voice became choked.
The white-robed guard was a little at a loss. The old man wiped his tears, smiled, and said: "Okay, kid, go ahead and do your work! Let me have a good talk with the old lady. We... will finally go to Han Dynasty." ”
He murmured, with yearning and longing still on his face, and looked in the direction of Floating Water Town.
It was as if I could really see that ancient town through the white snow, a town belonging to the Han people!
The same is true for the rest of the people. Even if they are walking with difficulty and stepping on the snow, they still have to pull that person alone...
The body that had been frozen!
This is to accompany them and walk the last journey silently!
………………………….
Xiuxiu finally saw the Floating Water Town. Although there was no city wall, it was just as her father said: The place where the Han people dominate their lives is their home!
Just one glance and she felt like she fell in love with it!
There were many people who cried uncontrollably and seemed to be crazy. Some of them were still holding the cold corpse, as if they were in a daze, sobbing softly.
"We're here, we're finally here. Although it's not the Tang Dynasty, this is the Han Dynasty..."
"Old lady, have you seen it?"
"Daughter, father... can show you other Han people. There is no Turkic land, only equal Han people. Do you... want to open your eyes and see?"
One sound after another, one sentence after another, the sound of wailing echoed across the world. Those seemingly earnest words were enough to break one's heart!
"Hey, I'm going to find His Highness."
Chen Qingzhi sighed and rode into the city. His eyes had turned red and he did not dare to stay long.
A group of white-robed guards, even though they had seen the scene in front of them many times, could not help but feel a sense of sourness in their hearts.
And after entering the town, the group of statues is so eye-catching!
"Uncle, then...who is that?"
Xiuxiu pointed at the statue with waterfall-like black hair. Her eyes were wild and unruly, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"He..."
A flash of fanaticism flashed in the eyes of the white-robed guard, and he murmured: "He used to be a legend in the Tang Dynasty, and now he is the master of Fushui Town."
"Is it more powerful than uncle?" Xiuxiu asked doubtfully.
She could remember the scene in front of her of the white-robed guard killing two Turks by himself.
In her long memory, the Turks were invincible. The white-robed guards in front of her were able to win one against two. They were already powerful beyond her imagination?
"It was still him, Your Highness." He smiled.
"Where is he now?"
"Your Highness...wait a moment, maybe you can see it."
Along the way, the white-robed guards explained to the Han people.
And when they passed by the residents of Fushui Town, they heard many rumors that His Highness was planning to use troops against Yanyun City in Liang State.
The Han people who had just arrived were stunned by this news, and even the white-robed guards were also stunned.
Then, the mood got emotional.
Your Highness... Finally, do you want to make a move?
one way or another.
This news immediately made the atmosphere in the town tense.
When it comes to the Turkic barbarians, even their ally Liang Guo, many people are afraid of them.
I vaguely remember that a few months ago, the smell of blood in Youzhou can still be vaguely smelled, making people shudder!
but….
There are still more people who hope to send troops and let the cavalry of Floating Water Town crush the Liang Kingdom, and then crush the Turkic Royal Court, for revenge, for avenging shame, and for the future of the empire!
Also to comfort the spirits of the heroic souls in heaven!
And soon, the news spread that His Highness was going to hold a swearing-in meeting in the Floating Water Town Square.
Many people went to the square. The crowd was bustling. Many Han people who had just been rescued were also watching the excitement. Everyone wanted to witness this grand event!
This is the first time that Floating Water Town has announced a foreign war in such a serious manner!
I saw the square, where there were many spears and sparkling armors. More than 4000 self-defense army soldiers stood in it, ready to fight, and a murderous atmosphere rushed towards them.
It makes people feel shocked!
Chen Qingzhi, Yang Duwei and other commander-level figures were all sitting on horseback, standing in front of the formation with solemn expressions!
At this time, Li Kuan raised his hand on the high platform, and the venue immediately became quiet.
"Everyone, do you still remember half a year ago?"
He said in a deep voice.
"The Turks mobilized hundreds of thousands of cavalry to attack Youzhou. The generals of Youzhou opened the city gates to welcome the Turks into the pass..."
"I still remember it, Jie Li..."
Li Kuan talked a lot and rambled on a lot.
"Have you ever remembered those people who were plundered by the Turks? Even today, they have not forgotten the Han Dynasty and tried their best to come back!"
"The white robe army rescued them. Although they were rescued, I can always think of those wails that filled the sky and the earth... those people who looked at the Han Dynasty late at night, longing for the Han Dynasty to rescue them back. ….”
"There are too many Han people, and they are still suffering. This scene appears in my mind every day..."
"My king!"
"Don't forget!"
"I never dare to forget, and I will never forget!"
"But what this king can do is limited. Today, this king wants to expand the scope of the Han land a little bit, so that those who want to escape back to the Han land in the Turkic grasslands, when they escape and cross all dangers, what they see is the Han land." Territory territory, not Liang country!!"
"Liang Guo should also be told that this land does not belong to them, but is the territory of the Han people!!"
"We also want them to know that everything the sun and moon shine on is Han soil! This is not just empty talk!!"
These powerful words were like an oath: He, Li Kuan, will capture Yanyun City today and expand the territory of Han Dynasty several times.
"Long live Your Highness!"
At that moment, I don't know which of the common people shouted out. He got scared when he shouted. When he saw so many people looking at him, he got even more scared and wanted to bury his head in the ground.
However, the next moment.
A voice came from the white-robed army.
"Long live your highness!"
That was an ordinary white-robed soldier, and his voice was firmer and hotter.
"Long live your highness!"
A dozen more people joined in the shouting.
"Long live your highness!"
Hundreds of people joined, thousands of people joined….
to the end.
Even the common people at the beginning joined in the shouting. They were so heroic and their eyes were so hot. It can even be said that the eyes of thousands of people were hot. They stared at the man on the high platform, as if they only saw that man in the whole world, and they felt proud. , shouting wildly.
They are willing to praise this man very, very high...
At any cost, even if it means life, we must hold him and rush to higher heights.
They want to hold him to the highest heights, go see him, look at him carefully, and proclaim him emperor...
Li Kuan felt the hot expectations of thousands of people, stretched out his hands to feel it, and even closed his eyes to feel it...
then.
He opened his eyes quickly and looked up to the sky with a smile.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!"
"Okay, okay, okay! If you wish me long live the king, then I, the king, should consider this long live! I will protect you and your family!!"
"Don't worry, give your lives, all of them, to this king!!"
"I will take you to see a different scenery, a scenery that only belongs to the glory of the Han people like us!!"
"Come here, sacrifice the hero's soul!!"
As the words fell, an exciting scene was being staged.
A white-robed guard came on horseback holding a torch in his hand. This was the fire he received from the Temple of Heroes.
The dead white-robed guards and white tiger guards were all sacrificed in the Temple of Heroes.
The fire in the Temple of Heroes is kept alive. This is specially arranged by Li Kuan. He wants the dead soldiers to continue to protect the living, just like the only flame in the snowy sky, lighting the way forward and warming the bodies of the living.
The Fire of Heroic Spirits will be passed on to Li Kuan by Chen Qingzhi himself!
This cluster symbolizes the burning protective will of the dead, and will also be brought to the battlefield, because...
It will be a bloody battle!
Lift
As Li Kuan lit the fire on the high platform, cheers and shouts could be heard in an instant, resounding through the sky, and more people cried in their arms.
They thought of the picture of those people alive.
Since the Tiele tribe captured and escorted them all the way to the Taihang Mountains.
"The Turks are coming, the first team of the White Robes, follow me to snipe the enemy troops and buy time for the people to retreat!"
"Little girl, hide, I'll attract those people's attention!"
"Your Highness is coming soon, I will carry you on my back!"
One after another, the hoarse shouts were like the last elegy.
The white figures who guarded the common people in their struggle have not left them behind, and the people of Floating Water Town have not forgotten the white figures either.
"Army, move out!"
"Look, Yanyun City!!"
Finally, Li Kuan shouted that sound that made the whole people excited.
The army is on its way...
They are going to expand their territory...
………………………….
Yanyun City.
Since the onset of winter, this giant city seems to have pressed the pause button.
There was not even a single flow of people on the street.
"I and my people have made arrangements. King Chu will come to provide support at any time, but...how sure are we of victory?"
In a private hut, Yang Zhengfa was sweating profusely.
Even though I knew that man was invincible and mighty,
But when it came time to actually take action, he was still panicked and afraid of being caught by his master's family.
He is afraid, he is too afraid!
After all, to a certain extent, he was a traitor to Yanyun City.
That's why.
Ever since I started working with Si She, I haven't had a good night's sleep every day, and now my dark circles are even worse.
Sometimes, he regretted cooperating with the King of Chu.
He used to be such a dashing prince when he was drunk and dreaming. Ever since he agreed to cooperate with the King of Chu, he hasn't had a good night's sleep and he doesn't even dare to touch women.
But we have all boarded a pirate ship, and regretting it will not help.
"Don't worry, Mr. Yang."
Sishe stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, saying meaningfully: "After today, you will get everything you want."
"Wait one more day, just one day."
Yang Zhengfa swallowed: "Okay!"
After saying a few more words, Yang Zhengfa left uneasily.
Shortly after he left, a Yang family guard came out from the darkness, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Look what incredible secret I discovered."
"You must go back and report to His Majesty immediately!"
These days, something is wrong with Yang Zhengfa.
In the past, Yang Zhengdao often invited him to visit brothels with him in private, concealing his identity, but he has stopped going recently.
Not only that, but he is often lethargic, as if he is hiding something on his mind.
So Yang Zhengdao sent him to follow up, and this tracking actually found out the matter.
He quickly returned to Yanyun Palace.
Palace.
Yang Zhengdao smiled and said, "Have you found out what's wrong with Yang Zhengfa?"
Although Yang Zhengfa was said to be his uncle, he secretly called him by his first name. The title of emperor already made him a little arrogant.
The guard half-knelt and said, "Your Majesty, we've found it."
"Prince Yang is related to the briquette merchant who has been in the spotlight recently, and he has a close relationship. I can confirm that Prince Yang is the protective umbrella of that briquette merchant."
The briquette merchants refer to Heshen and Sishe.
This year's winter in Yanyun City is colder than in previous years, but the warmth is at an all-time high.
Even after leaving this briquette factory, a small piece of briquette brings warmth no worse than charcoal, and the price is cheaper, earning a lot of wealth in the city.
This made Yang Zhengdao very uncomfortable.
Liang Guo was on the safe side and there were few profitable businesses, among which selling charcoal in winter was the most profitable.
Most of the charcoal is also controlled by their government. When winter comes in previous years, charcoal is sold very hot, even at sky-high prices. After all, charcoal is simple, but it can save lives. Many people are willing to spend life-saving money to buy it.
but!
The emergence of briquettes has made charcoal unsalable this year.
Although many people were saved and the death rate in Yanyun City was greatly reduced, this business did not bring any benefits to the government.
He doesn't have much money on hand, so it's difficult to support many novel hobbies.
In half a month, he sent people to attack the briquette factory, but they always failed.
He was an emperor, and he wanted to save face after all, so he did not use brute force. Because of this, many of his secret moves were predicted and dodged by the opponent in advance.
He has reached the critical point of endurance.
I was preparing to use force to suppress it the day after tomorrow and control all the briquettes in the hands of the officials, but I didn't expect that such a commotion would happen.
"No wonder Yang Zhengfa has been having trouble sleeping and eating recently. It's because I want to take action against briquettes, and he is the protector behind briquettes. It's no wonder those briquette merchants have been able to evade capture by the court time and time again. It turns out that the problem has arisen in the people closest to them."
"Haha, this time, I just wanted you to see what Yang Zhengfa was up to, but I didn't expect that it would be self-defeating and lead to such a shocking secret."
"Hmph! Pass on my decree and let Yang Zhengfa enter the palace!!"
"In addition, tell Yang Zheng and others about this, and tell them to attack those people tonight and control the briquettes in the hands of my Yang family. Without Yang Zhengfa's whistleblower this time, I don't believe they could have escaped!"
Orders were issued one after another, and soon the guards acted according to the orders.
Yang Zheng was very surprised after hearing the information.
Then he smiled and said: "Interesting, the problem actually arises here Yang Zhengfa."
"The Yang family runs the charcoal business together. It's not enough to give him a commission, why should we make some briquettes ourselves? Haha, you are really greedy."
"Go, let Yang Tianan go get these briquette merchants!"
Yang Tianan is his general, and it is not enough for him to deal with some briquette merchants, so the general of the country can go there in person.
Yang Tianan quickly led dozens of family guards to the west area of Yanyun City.
When they came here, the snow increased and their sight was somewhat blocked, but in the eyes of dozens of people, that house was visible.
They are very familiar with this house. His Majesty sent people to get briquette merchants the past few times. They came here twice, but the building was empty. After they left, these briquette merchants came back to live there.
But this time, they all saw someone moving outside the house.
This time.
They can't escape...
"go!"
Yang Tianan led people there.
"Hey, gentlemen, what are you doing..."
"Oh!"
Before the man finished speaking, he was pushed away by Yang Tianan, and the basin in his hand fell to the ground.
Yang Tianan and others were running rampant, looking only at that room.
"Oh!"
Kicking open the door, Yang Tianan shouted loudly: "Heshen, the briquette merchant, you and your people have seriously affected the public security, take them all away!"
He Shen was still drinking tea, and was shocked by this sound. He quickly stepped forward and said: "Oh, sir, where did you say..."
Before he finished speaking, Yang Tianan slapped him in the mouth.
The force was so strong that Heshen was slapped to the ground, with blood coming from his mouth.
He Shen was stunned.
Yang Tianan sneered and said: "Heshen, you'd better be honest, otherwise next time I won't slap you in the face, I can kill you! After all, the government only needs to master the method of making briquettes, and they don't need a man like you who can control both sides." "
"In other words, if I kill you here, the superiors won't blame you. Just lie there and don't delay me from raiding your briquette factory."
He Shen said angrily: "Could it be that the government can be so unreasonable? There is no evidence to accuse me and Shen of committing a crime, and to copy the factory!"
Hearing this, Yang Tianan seemed to have heard some terrible joke. He squatted down and looked directly at He Shen: "Isn't it...isn't it?"
He Shen's mouth suddenly twitched.
Over there, the work of copying the factory was still going on, He Shen didn't look at it, but looked at Si Snake behind him, waiting for Si Snake to nod to him.
He Shen then looked at Yang Tianan and said, "Commander Yang, does anyone have a word for you?"
Yang Tianan turned around and said: "What..."
Halfway through the words, a scream came from beside him. It was a personal guard who was shot to death by a crossbow arrow.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!!"
The remaining guards reacted quickly, but they had no idea where the enemy was. They were shot by crossbows one after another and fell in a pool of blood.
In the end, only Yang Tianan was left.
Yang Tianan reacted in panic, stared at Heshen not far away, gritted his teeth and said, "Did you do it?"
Although the words were questionable, the tone was affirmative.
He was not far from He Shen, but he didn't dare to go out. He was hiding in the dark for fear of being shot to death by a crossbow as soon as he went out.
He Shen smiled and said: "Not bad."
"You dare to attack the imperial officials, I'm afraid you don't want to live anymore!"
"Haha, Commander Yang, can you still answer my previous question? Have you heard a very familiar sentence?"
Yang Tianan panicked. He realized that his threats were useless. These briquette manufacturers were all lunatics!
"What?"
He swallowed and said in a fearful tone.
He Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, and said word by word: "That is, if you often walk by the river, there is no way your shoes will not get wet."
"Today is the day when your shoes are wet, and it is also the day when the Yang family's shoes are wet!"
As He Shen's words fell, a head flew into the sky, drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and then fell to the ground.
The owner of that head is clearly Yang Tianan.
………………………….
Luxurious mansion.
Yang Zheng was exchanging cups with his generals.
They are celebrating that the hot business of briquettes will soon belong to the Yang family.
"General Yang, it's been a long time, why haven't you seen Yang Tianan bring He Shen back to resume his life? Did something go wrong along the way?"
A family general couldn't help but ask.
The room is full of singing and dancing, and it is as warm as spring.
But in his heart, he felt a little panic for some reason.
Yang Zheng squinted his eyes and glanced outside at the sky. "It's really late."
"Didn't it mean that Yang Zhengfa has already said he has control? Then he can't report it. Yang Tianan should have no pressure to deal with a small briquette factory, and the final work should be done very quickly."
Another general put down his wine glass.
"Could it be that those briquette merchants can find something wrong?"
When Yang Zheng heard this, although he was worried, he laughed and said, "Hahaha, this is impossible. He Shen and his people are all nameless refugees with no background at all. "
"Not to mention, there is no other city around our Yanyun City where they can ask for help."
"Yanyun City is the territory of my Yang family! Even His Majesty belongs to my Yang family, how could an accident happen!"
As Yang Zheng spoke, he took a breath and narrowed his eyes slightly: "It must be that stinky guy Yang Tianan who has made the same old habit of showing off his power and wasting time."
A general snorted, extremely dissatisfied: "General, this is enough for Yang Tianan, and we don't even know when! Such an important matter is not reported first!"
"If I had known earlier, you should have sent me to get Heshen. I am never ambiguous in my work."
As soon as his voice fell, Yang Zheng was about to answer with a smile.
Suddenly, the people in the room clearly saw a group of people wearing white clothes walking over outside the door.
"who!"
Yang Zheng stood up suddenly.
Several generals also stood up immediately.
While talking, General Baihu had already walked to the lobby door.
Yes, the person in front of him is General White Tiger. General White Tiger, who should not be in Yanyun City, appears in the prince's palace, which means that the Chu King's army has already invaded Yanyun City.
now.
General Baihu walked up to a few people. The big knife in his right hand, which was stained with blood, shocked Yang Zheng and others.
"who are you!!!"
Yang Zheng backed away in horror.
"Come on, come on, come on!!!"
A family general also shouted anxiously.
The singers in the lobby were flying around like headless flies.
"Hahaha, no need to shout."
"Now you are the only ones alive in the mansion."
"My general, White Tiger Pei Xingjian, is here to take your heads by order of His Highness!"
General Baihu's voice was reckless.
After saying that, he threw the big knife in his hand and hit a general in the back.
In addition, the other White Tiger Guards quickly attacked and killed Yang Zheng cleanly.
The other generals were killed one by one.
"Er..."
Yang Zheng lay on the ground, moaning continuously and in great pain.
"Why...why!!!"
Yang Zheng asked using up his last strength.
General Baihu looked down at him.
Extremely calm.
"You have touched a business that you shouldn't touch, so you must die early."
Business?
When Yang Zheng heard this, his eyes widened, and he immediately understood what kind of business he had encountered.
All of a sudden, endless regret arose in my heart.
With deep regret, I will die with my eyes closed.
If he knew that there was such an expert behind this business, Yang Zheng wouldn't dare to move even if he was killed.
Of course, if Yang Zheng didn't get involved in the briquette business, he would also die.
It's just that he would die half an hour later, or even longer, instead of General White Tiger coming here to kill him.
at the moment.
General Baihu saw that Yang Zheng was exhausted, so he took off Yang Zheng's head, turned around and left with his men.
.
………………………….
Yanyun City.
It was dark night, and the White Tiger Guard and the White Robe Guard entered Yanyun City through Yang Zhengfa's people, and divided into teams. According to the information sent by Yang Zheng, they went to the designated place to assassinate the soldiers of Yanyun City and let them die in their sleep.
As for Yanyun City, there was a map sent by Yang Zheng a month ago to Fushui Town. His Highness asked them to read it all the time. After watching it for a month, they were too familiar with it, even more familiar with Fushui Town.
Some people can even know their way around in the dark with their eyes closed, just like their own home.
In the silent night, Yanyun City soldiers were secretly killed one after another. Yanyun City as a whole belonged to the Yang family, and the balance gradually tilted towards the side of the King of Chu.
"Your Highness, our army is clearing out the old Sui soldiers in Yanyun City one by one."
"In addition, I also brought Yang Zheng's head here. This guy... If we hadn't taken action today, He Shen and the others would have been imprisoned."
General Baihu said.
In the black carriage, Li Kuan nodded slightly.
The whole person looked like a noble prince parading through the streets, which had nothing to do with the murderous intent that was lurking around Yanyun City tonight.
"Is that so? Have you put Yang Zheng's head in a box?"
"According to His Highness's original instructions, everything has been installed."
General Baihu presented a wooden box in his hand.
"Let's go."
"First give this gift to the new and last emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and tell him that I have arrived."
Li Kuan smiled lightly.
It can be said that it is a basic operation of the King of Chu to kill the enemy's cronies without seeing them, and it is extremely arrogant.
No.
It can even be said that this is the basic operation of the entire Chu King's army, just like when General Qinglong killed Changsun Shunde and sent it directly to Li Shimin.
The entire army and king are extremely arrogant...
…….….….….….
Inside Yanyun Palace.
Yang Zhengdao stared at Yang Zhengfa, angrily said: "Uncle, do you know what you did?"
Yang Zhengfa was a little flustered. Could it be that His Majesty discovered something?
He swallowed his saliva and said, "Yes... what is it? Please tell Your Majesty..."
His voice was not firm enough, and it was easy to tell that he was lying.
It really doesn't fit the posture that a prince should have.
It can even be said to be a coward.
And it is precisely because of this that he was chosen.
Selected by King Chu...
"Haha, uncle, what did you do, do you still want me to tell you in detail?"
"Give you a chance. You can confess on your own. I'll be lenient if you confess, but strict if you resist! Don't tell me that I didn't miss my old relationship and didn't give you a chance!"
Yang Zhengfa had always had something in his heart, but when he saw Yang Zhengdao's decisive look, he was so frightened that he fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty, I...I am guilty! I am guilty of a grave crime!!"
When Yang Zhengdao saw this, he couldn't help but sneered, "You are quite sensible."
but….…
Just because you are greedy to grab a business, as for kneeling down?
Yang Zhengdao didn't understand. In the past, his uncle Yang Zhengfa wasn't that afraid of him.
What happened next was a bit beyond Yang Zhengdao's expectations.
I saw Yang Zhengfa repeatedly hitting his mouth with both hands, his mouth turned red, and he cried: "Your Majesty, I am guilty! I am guilty of a big crime!"
"I shouldn't cooperate with King Chu and let them in, but... I'm afraid, I'm afraid! I'm too afraid to die!"
"King Chu?" Yang Zhengdao was stunned. He never expected to hear a name that should not appear or even be avoided in this matter.
He pointed at Yang Zhengfa angrily and said coldly: "Uncle, what the hell is going on! Tell me!!"
Yang Zhengfa had already broken through the defense at this time and collapsed: "Your Majesty, I let King Chu and the others in."
"King Chu...that man, he is so terrifying! There is nothing in the world that he can't do. Even when he was sent to the Turks with protons, that man was able to escape and made the Turks into a mess. Our little How can the small Yanyun City stop him!"
"It's impossible to stop him, impossible, impossible, never possible..."
"Even if I don't help open the door, it's only a matter of time before Yanyun City is destroyed. It's impossible for us to stop that terrible man. And if I open the door, King Chu Renyi, I can still save my life, and even save the life of the Yang family." The fire continues for generations to come.”
"Your Majesty, I, I opened the door for the sake of my family!!"
The shocking news shocked Yang Zhengdao so much that he stepped back. He looked at Yang Zhengfa blankly, as if he was disappointed: "Yang Zhengfa, did you sell Yanyun City to the King of Chu?"
This is the first time he has called Yang Zhengfa by his name in public, and it is also the first time he has called "I" instead of "I" in public.
King Chu, that man….
Too much shadow for everyone!
The same is true for Yang Zhengdao.
now.
When Yang Zhengfa heard this, he couldn't help but fell to his knees on the ground and kept kowtowing loudly: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for you! I'm sorry for everyone!"
"But me, but I am doing it for the overall situation! Yes, yes, I am opening the door for the future! Our Yang family must keep the fire!!"
Yang Zhengdao probably understood what was going on at this time, his eyes were blood red, and he took out the sword from the side with a "rubbing" sound.
"Yang! Right! Fa!!"
"You sold my Yanyun City to the King of Chu, just like the generals who opened the door when the Turks entered Youzhou Pass, you brought the King of Chu into my Yanyun City, and I will kill you!!!"
He roared angrily, even spitting out a lot of foam.
He pulled out his sword and looked only at Yang Zhengfa, who was kneeling down and begging for mercy. He wanted to chop him.
And right now.
A guard came in with a box.
"Your Majesty, someone outside the city has sent something. He also said that it was sent by Prince Yang Zheng. It must be delivered to your Majesty."
"I don't dare to be careless, so I will deliver it to you without stopping."
Yang Zhengdao was shocked. Did his uncle send something?
Could it be the formula of honeycomb briquette?
But what's the use of this?
Damn Yang Zhengfa has already welcomed the most terrifying thief in the world into Yanyun City. Now he doesn't even know where the thief is.
Compared with the briquette formula, finding the King of Chu is the most important thing.
However, he still took the box over and there was still time to open it.
however.
When he opened it, he exclaimed "Ah" and threw the box to the ground. He also took a few steps back and sat down on the ground.
“Dong dong dong”…….
The box fell to the ground, and a round human head kept rolling. It was Yang Zheng's head.
Yang Zheng is dead….
Yang Zhengdao's eyes widened.
stunned!
Shock!
Can't believe it! !
Yang Zhengfa on the side also saw Yang Zheng's head. Logically speaking, he should be angry or panicked, but at this moment he felt a little lucky.
This must have been killed by King Chu!
He can be sure!
perhaps….
When he decided to help King Chu, the deaths of Yang Zheng and other Yang family members had already filtered through his mind thousands of times.
"What the hell is going on!!"
Yang Zhengdao is still in confusion.
Before he could think about it, rapid footsteps sounded outside the palace, and the palace was surrounded by people.
Then, a crowd of people came in surrounded by the arrogant man.
Yang Zhengdao was shocked. He had only seen this person once, when the Turks escorted him here, but even though it was once, it was firmly imprinted in his mind.
"Chu! King!!"
Yang Zhengdao gritted his teeth and said angrily: "What did you do to my Yanyun City!!!"
Hearing this, Li Kuan laughed and said, "This Yanyun City used to be yours, but it's not yours now."
With a wave of his hand, a subordinate brought a new box in an instant, and opened it in front of Yang Zhengdao.
"Crash"......
One head after another rolled to the ground.
Yang Zhengdao felt more frightened every time he looked at one.
He knew all those people and had to know them.
They are the commanders and generals stationed in various places in Yanyun City, as well as his Yang clan members.
This! !
King Chu has already fully controlled Yanyun City!
Yang Zhengdao couldn't believe this established fact.
He glared at King Chu and said angrily: "Why so fast? Our entire Yanyun City has been lost! What did you do!"
Li Kuan smiled and said: "Although I am attacking the city today, I was already planning it a few months ago."
Yang Zhengdao immediately looked at Yang Zhengfa and said angrily: "You did it!!!"
Yang Zhengfa didn't dare to look and lowered his head.
"Yang! Right! Fa!!"
"You caused the destruction of my Yang Shi's foundation. When you go to the underworld, my ancestors of the Yang family will definitely eat your flesh and blood and gnaw on your bones!!"
"You are the sinner of my Yang family, the sinner of the ages!!"
Yang Zhengdao's eyes were blood red.
For the first time in so many years since childhood, he wanted to kill someone so much.
Yang Zhengfa also collapsed and covered his head: "I, I didn't want to, but how could our little Yanyun City stop King Chu! I am here for the future, you don't understand, Yang Zhengdao!!"
Seeing that these two uncles and nephews were starting to get into a verbal spat, Li Kuan quickly asked someone to take Yang Zhengdao away.
Then he personally comforted Yang Zhengfa, stabilized his mood, and then walked into the palace.
In the harem of Yanyun Palace, there were him, the King of Chu's army, and the things that the people of Fushui Town longed for.
Pass on the country, jade seal! !
Queen Xiao is responsible for keeping the imperial seal, and she has walked through the streets and alleys of Yanyun City without seeing Queen Mother Xiao. She will only be in this harem!
.
…….….….….….
Late at night.
Queen Xiao was sleeping soundly, but for some reason, the noise outside woke her up.
"Xiao Luan, what's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"
Her voice is gentle.
Yes, her voice is always so gentle and full of loving aura.
however.
The voice fell, but there was no echo.
Empress Xiao frowned slightly, what happened? Even her personal maid was missing.
"This silly boy Zhengdao won't have trouble with his uncle again."
"This silly boy is really, he doesn't think about how to be an emperor every day, but thinks about how to do business."
Queen Xiao couldn't help laughing angrily.
But he was not angry. After all, the Great Sui Dynasty was a thing of the past. It didn't matter whether Yang Zhengdao was a powerful emperor or not. It would be good if he could just calm down.
Just complaining.
"Ding ding ding..."
While Empress Xiao was thinking endlessly, there was a harsh metallic sound on the ground.
She narrowed her eyes slightly: "Who is there?"
No one answered, still no one answered.
But soon.
When she saw the person coming clearly, her beautiful eyes widened with horror on her face.
"you!"
"It's you, King Chu!!!"
"You, why are you here!!!"
Queen Xiao was shocked.
This man made Liang Guo no longer want to attack the Tang Dynasty, and also caused the death of the pillars of thousands of families in Liang Guo. She will never forget this man and his face.
Li Kuan put the knife on the table, sat down and said with a calm smile: "Queen Xiao, you are well."
"I just came here to pick up one thing. That thing...I believe that the people from the Turks have told you."
Queen Xiao's eyes were panicked.
Yes, of course she does!
The relationship between the Turks and the Liang State was one of prosperity and loss for both.
So when the King of Chu was rescued, he said that he was coming to get the imperial seal and asked her to keep it safe. Jieli Khan directly sent someone to tell her.
From then on, Queen Xiao had trouble sleeping and eating all night long.
He asked Yang Zhengdao to spend most of his money on building city defenses.
Yang Zhengdao listened to her words and used his own money to strengthen the city walls, increase his troops, and everything else that could use money to increase military strength.
Precisely because of this, he was poorer than ever and wanted to make money, so he set his sights on the hugely profitable briquettes.
And after spending so much money, the effect is remarkable.
Yanyun City's defenses have more than doubled compared to before.
Reassuring.
Can!
Who would have thought, King Chu!This terrible enemy actually...appeared in her room.
He shouldn't have appeared, shouldn't have...
"King Chu, what have you done to politics?"
Queen Xiao's eyes were full of worry.
After Yang Guang's death, Yang Zhengdao had become everything to her.
She just wanted this silly kid to live out his life safely.
So when the King of Chu appeared here, she didn't ask about the situation in Yanyun City, nor did she ask about other people, let alone Yang's clan relatives, only Yang Zhengdao.
Li Kuan poured a cup of tea and drank it down: "You know what this king wants."
"Give me what I want, and naturally you will know what you want."
"How do those businessmen say this? Haha, by the way, it's mutual benefit."
(End of this chapter)
the other side.
After Chen Qingzhi led his men to clean up the battlefield, he took these Han people and dragged the corpses towards Fushui Town.
"Uncle, let me help you."
A white-robed guard wanted to go forward to help, but the old man refused, mocking himself: "No need, the burden on you is heavier, so don't get tired, old man, I was born with such a low life! Lin Lao... They still have to collect the corpse of their mother-in-law..."
As he spoke, his old eyes became moist and his voice became choked.
The white-robed guard was a little at a loss. The old man wiped his tears, smiled, and said: "Okay, kid, go ahead and do your work! Let me have a good talk with the old lady. We... will finally go to Han Dynasty." ”
He murmured, with yearning and longing still on his face, and looked in the direction of Floating Water Town.
It was as if I could really see that ancient town through the white snow, a town belonging to the Han people!
The same is true for the rest of the people. Even if they are walking with difficulty and stepping on the snow, they still have to pull that person alone...
The body that had been frozen!
This is to accompany them and walk the last journey silently!
………………………….
Xiuxiu finally saw the Floating Water Town. Although there was no city wall, it was just as her father said: The place where the Han people dominate their lives is their home!
Just one glance and she felt like she fell in love with it!
There were many people who cried uncontrollably and seemed to be crazy. Some of them were still holding the cold corpse, as if they were in a daze, sobbing softly.
"We're here, we're finally here. Although it's not the Tang Dynasty, this is the Han Dynasty..."
"Old lady, have you seen it?"
"Daughter, father... can show you other Han people. There is no Turkic land, only equal Han people. Do you... want to open your eyes and see?"
One sound after another, one sentence after another, the sound of wailing echoed across the world. Those seemingly earnest words were enough to break one's heart!
"Hey, I'm going to find His Highness."
Chen Qingzhi sighed and rode into the city. His eyes had turned red and he did not dare to stay long.
A group of white-robed guards, even though they had seen the scene in front of them many times, could not help but feel a sense of sourness in their hearts.
And after entering the town, the group of statues is so eye-catching!
"Uncle, then...who is that?"
Xiuxiu pointed at the statue with waterfall-like black hair. Her eyes were wild and unruly, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"He..."
A flash of fanaticism flashed in the eyes of the white-robed guard, and he murmured: "He used to be a legend in the Tang Dynasty, and now he is the master of Fushui Town."
"Is it more powerful than uncle?" Xiuxiu asked doubtfully.
She could remember the scene in front of her of the white-robed guard killing two Turks by himself.
In her long memory, the Turks were invincible. The white-robed guards in front of her were able to win one against two. They were already powerful beyond her imagination?
"It was still him, Your Highness." He smiled.
"Where is he now?"
"Your Highness...wait a moment, maybe you can see it."
Along the way, the white-robed guards explained to the Han people.
And when they passed by the residents of Fushui Town, they heard many rumors that His Highness was planning to use troops against Yanyun City in Liang State.
The Han people who had just arrived were stunned by this news, and even the white-robed guards were also stunned.
Then, the mood got emotional.
Your Highness... Finally, do you want to make a move?
one way or another.
This news immediately made the atmosphere in the town tense.
When it comes to the Turkic barbarians, even their ally Liang Guo, many people are afraid of them.
I vaguely remember that a few months ago, the smell of blood in Youzhou can still be vaguely smelled, making people shudder!
but….
There are still more people who hope to send troops and let the cavalry of Floating Water Town crush the Liang Kingdom, and then crush the Turkic Royal Court, for revenge, for avenging shame, and for the future of the empire!
Also to comfort the spirits of the heroic souls in heaven!
And soon, the news spread that His Highness was going to hold a swearing-in meeting in the Floating Water Town Square.
Many people went to the square. The crowd was bustling. Many Han people who had just been rescued were also watching the excitement. Everyone wanted to witness this grand event!
This is the first time that Floating Water Town has announced a foreign war in such a serious manner!
I saw the square, where there were many spears and sparkling armors. More than 4000 self-defense army soldiers stood in it, ready to fight, and a murderous atmosphere rushed towards them.
It makes people feel shocked!
Chen Qingzhi, Yang Duwei and other commander-level figures were all sitting on horseback, standing in front of the formation with solemn expressions!
At this time, Li Kuan raised his hand on the high platform, and the venue immediately became quiet.
"Everyone, do you still remember half a year ago?"
He said in a deep voice.
"The Turks mobilized hundreds of thousands of cavalry to attack Youzhou. The generals of Youzhou opened the city gates to welcome the Turks into the pass..."
"I still remember it, Jie Li..."
Li Kuan talked a lot and rambled on a lot.
"Have you ever remembered those people who were plundered by the Turks? Even today, they have not forgotten the Han Dynasty and tried their best to come back!"
"The white robe army rescued them. Although they were rescued, I can always think of those wails that filled the sky and the earth... those people who looked at the Han Dynasty late at night, longing for the Han Dynasty to rescue them back. ….”
"There are too many Han people, and they are still suffering. This scene appears in my mind every day..."
"My king!"
"Don't forget!"
"I never dare to forget, and I will never forget!"
"But what this king can do is limited. Today, this king wants to expand the scope of the Han land a little bit, so that those who want to escape back to the Han land in the Turkic grasslands, when they escape and cross all dangers, what they see is the Han land." Territory territory, not Liang country!!"
"Liang Guo should also be told that this land does not belong to them, but is the territory of the Han people!!"
"We also want them to know that everything the sun and moon shine on is Han soil! This is not just empty talk!!"
These powerful words were like an oath: He, Li Kuan, will capture Yanyun City today and expand the territory of Han Dynasty several times.
"Long live Your Highness!"
At that moment, I don't know which of the common people shouted out. He got scared when he shouted. When he saw so many people looking at him, he got even more scared and wanted to bury his head in the ground.
However, the next moment.
A voice came from the white-robed army.
"Long live your highness!"
That was an ordinary white-robed soldier, and his voice was firmer and hotter.
"Long live your highness!"
A dozen more people joined in the shouting.
"Long live your highness!"
Hundreds of people joined, thousands of people joined….
to the end.
Even the common people at the beginning joined in the shouting. They were so heroic and their eyes were so hot. It can even be said that the eyes of thousands of people were hot. They stared at the man on the high platform, as if they only saw that man in the whole world, and they felt proud. , shouting wildly.
They are willing to praise this man very, very high...
At any cost, even if it means life, we must hold him and rush to higher heights.
They want to hold him to the highest heights, go see him, look at him carefully, and proclaim him emperor...
Li Kuan felt the hot expectations of thousands of people, stretched out his hands to feel it, and even closed his eyes to feel it...
then.
He opened his eyes quickly and looked up to the sky with a smile.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!"
"Okay, okay, okay! If you wish me long live the king, then I, the king, should consider this long live! I will protect you and your family!!"
"Don't worry, give your lives, all of them, to this king!!"
"I will take you to see a different scenery, a scenery that only belongs to the glory of the Han people like us!!"
"Come here, sacrifice the hero's soul!!"
As the words fell, an exciting scene was being staged.
A white-robed guard came on horseback holding a torch in his hand. This was the fire he received from the Temple of Heroes.
The dead white-robed guards and white tiger guards were all sacrificed in the Temple of Heroes.
The fire in the Temple of Heroes is kept alive. This is specially arranged by Li Kuan. He wants the dead soldiers to continue to protect the living, just like the only flame in the snowy sky, lighting the way forward and warming the bodies of the living.
The Fire of Heroic Spirits will be passed on to Li Kuan by Chen Qingzhi himself!
This cluster symbolizes the burning protective will of the dead, and will also be brought to the battlefield, because...
It will be a bloody battle!
Lift
As Li Kuan lit the fire on the high platform, cheers and shouts could be heard in an instant, resounding through the sky, and more people cried in their arms.
They thought of the picture of those people alive.
Since the Tiele tribe captured and escorted them all the way to the Taihang Mountains.
"The Turks are coming, the first team of the White Robes, follow me to snipe the enemy troops and buy time for the people to retreat!"
"Little girl, hide, I'll attract those people's attention!"
"Your Highness is coming soon, I will carry you on my back!"
One after another, the hoarse shouts were like the last elegy.
The white figures who guarded the common people in their struggle have not left them behind, and the people of Floating Water Town have not forgotten the white figures either.
"Army, move out!"
"Look, Yanyun City!!"
Finally, Li Kuan shouted that sound that made the whole people excited.
The army is on its way...
They are going to expand their territory...
………………………….
Yanyun City.
Since the onset of winter, this giant city seems to have pressed the pause button.
There was not even a single flow of people on the street.
"I and my people have made arrangements. King Chu will come to provide support at any time, but...how sure are we of victory?"
In a private hut, Yang Zhengfa was sweating profusely.
Even though I knew that man was invincible and mighty,
But when it came time to actually take action, he was still panicked and afraid of being caught by his master's family.
He is afraid, he is too afraid!
After all, to a certain extent, he was a traitor to Yanyun City.
That's why.
Ever since I started working with Si She, I haven't had a good night's sleep every day, and now my dark circles are even worse.
Sometimes, he regretted cooperating with the King of Chu.
He used to be such a dashing prince when he was drunk and dreaming. Ever since he agreed to cooperate with the King of Chu, he hasn't had a good night's sleep and he doesn't even dare to touch women.
But we have all boarded a pirate ship, and regretting it will not help.
"Don't worry, Mr. Yang."
Sishe stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, saying meaningfully: "After today, you will get everything you want."
"Wait one more day, just one day."
Yang Zhengfa swallowed: "Okay!"
After saying a few more words, Yang Zhengfa left uneasily.
Shortly after he left, a Yang family guard came out from the darkness, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Look what incredible secret I discovered."
"You must go back and report to His Majesty immediately!"
These days, something is wrong with Yang Zhengfa.
In the past, Yang Zhengdao often invited him to visit brothels with him in private, concealing his identity, but he has stopped going recently.
Not only that, but he is often lethargic, as if he is hiding something on his mind.
So Yang Zhengdao sent him to follow up, and this tracking actually found out the matter.
He quickly returned to Yanyun Palace.
Palace.
Yang Zhengdao smiled and said, "Have you found out what's wrong with Yang Zhengfa?"
Although Yang Zhengfa was said to be his uncle, he secretly called him by his first name. The title of emperor already made him a little arrogant.
The guard half-knelt and said, "Your Majesty, we've found it."
"Prince Yang is related to the briquette merchant who has been in the spotlight recently, and he has a close relationship. I can confirm that Prince Yang is the protective umbrella of that briquette merchant."
The briquette merchants refer to Heshen and Sishe.
This year's winter in Yanyun City is colder than in previous years, but the warmth is at an all-time high.
Even after leaving this briquette factory, a small piece of briquette brings warmth no worse than charcoal, and the price is cheaper, earning a lot of wealth in the city.
This made Yang Zhengdao very uncomfortable.
Liang Guo was on the safe side and there were few profitable businesses, among which selling charcoal in winter was the most profitable.
Most of the charcoal is also controlled by their government. When winter comes in previous years, charcoal is sold very hot, even at sky-high prices. After all, charcoal is simple, but it can save lives. Many people are willing to spend life-saving money to buy it.
but!
The emergence of briquettes has made charcoal unsalable this year.
Although many people were saved and the death rate in Yanyun City was greatly reduced, this business did not bring any benefits to the government.
He doesn't have much money on hand, so it's difficult to support many novel hobbies.
In half a month, he sent people to attack the briquette factory, but they always failed.
He was an emperor, and he wanted to save face after all, so he did not use brute force. Because of this, many of his secret moves were predicted and dodged by the opponent in advance.
He has reached the critical point of endurance.
I was preparing to use force to suppress it the day after tomorrow and control all the briquettes in the hands of the officials, but I didn't expect that such a commotion would happen.
"No wonder Yang Zhengfa has been having trouble sleeping and eating recently. It's because I want to take action against briquettes, and he is the protector behind briquettes. It's no wonder those briquette merchants have been able to evade capture by the court time and time again. It turns out that the problem has arisen in the people closest to them."
"Haha, this time, I just wanted you to see what Yang Zhengfa was up to, but I didn't expect that it would be self-defeating and lead to such a shocking secret."
"Hmph! Pass on my decree and let Yang Zhengfa enter the palace!!"
"In addition, tell Yang Zheng and others about this, and tell them to attack those people tonight and control the briquettes in the hands of my Yang family. Without Yang Zhengfa's whistleblower this time, I don't believe they could have escaped!"
Orders were issued one after another, and soon the guards acted according to the orders.
Yang Zheng was very surprised after hearing the information.
Then he smiled and said: "Interesting, the problem actually arises here Yang Zhengfa."
"The Yang family runs the charcoal business together. It's not enough to give him a commission, why should we make some briquettes ourselves? Haha, you are really greedy."
"Go, let Yang Tianan go get these briquette merchants!"
Yang Tianan is his general, and it is not enough for him to deal with some briquette merchants, so the general of the country can go there in person.
Yang Tianan quickly led dozens of family guards to the west area of Yanyun City.
When they came here, the snow increased and their sight was somewhat blocked, but in the eyes of dozens of people, that house was visible.
They are very familiar with this house. His Majesty sent people to get briquette merchants the past few times. They came here twice, but the building was empty. After they left, these briquette merchants came back to live there.
But this time, they all saw someone moving outside the house.
This time.
They can't escape...
"go!"
Yang Tianan led people there.
"Hey, gentlemen, what are you doing..."
"Oh!"
Before the man finished speaking, he was pushed away by Yang Tianan, and the basin in his hand fell to the ground.
Yang Tianan and others were running rampant, looking only at that room.
"Oh!"
Kicking open the door, Yang Tianan shouted loudly: "Heshen, the briquette merchant, you and your people have seriously affected the public security, take them all away!"
He Shen was still drinking tea, and was shocked by this sound. He quickly stepped forward and said: "Oh, sir, where did you say..."
Before he finished speaking, Yang Tianan slapped him in the mouth.
The force was so strong that Heshen was slapped to the ground, with blood coming from his mouth.
He Shen was stunned.
Yang Tianan sneered and said: "Heshen, you'd better be honest, otherwise next time I won't slap you in the face, I can kill you! After all, the government only needs to master the method of making briquettes, and they don't need a man like you who can control both sides." "
"In other words, if I kill you here, the superiors won't blame you. Just lie there and don't delay me from raiding your briquette factory."
He Shen said angrily: "Could it be that the government can be so unreasonable? There is no evidence to accuse me and Shen of committing a crime, and to copy the factory!"
Hearing this, Yang Tianan seemed to have heard some terrible joke. He squatted down and looked directly at He Shen: "Isn't it...isn't it?"
He Shen's mouth suddenly twitched.
Over there, the work of copying the factory was still going on, He Shen didn't look at it, but looked at Si Snake behind him, waiting for Si Snake to nod to him.
He Shen then looked at Yang Tianan and said, "Commander Yang, does anyone have a word for you?"
Yang Tianan turned around and said: "What..."
Halfway through the words, a scream came from beside him. It was a personal guard who was shot to death by a crossbow arrow.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!!"
The remaining guards reacted quickly, but they had no idea where the enemy was. They were shot by crossbows one after another and fell in a pool of blood.
In the end, only Yang Tianan was left.
Yang Tianan reacted in panic, stared at Heshen not far away, gritted his teeth and said, "Did you do it?"
Although the words were questionable, the tone was affirmative.
He was not far from He Shen, but he didn't dare to go out. He was hiding in the dark for fear of being shot to death by a crossbow as soon as he went out.
He Shen smiled and said: "Not bad."
"You dare to attack the imperial officials, I'm afraid you don't want to live anymore!"
"Haha, Commander Yang, can you still answer my previous question? Have you heard a very familiar sentence?"
Yang Tianan panicked. He realized that his threats were useless. These briquette manufacturers were all lunatics!
"What?"
He swallowed and said in a fearful tone.
He Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, and said word by word: "That is, if you often walk by the river, there is no way your shoes will not get wet."
"Today is the day when your shoes are wet, and it is also the day when the Yang family's shoes are wet!"
As He Shen's words fell, a head flew into the sky, drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and then fell to the ground.
The owner of that head is clearly Yang Tianan.
………………………….
Luxurious mansion.
Yang Zheng was exchanging cups with his generals.
They are celebrating that the hot business of briquettes will soon belong to the Yang family.
"General Yang, it's been a long time, why haven't you seen Yang Tianan bring He Shen back to resume his life? Did something go wrong along the way?"
A family general couldn't help but ask.
The room is full of singing and dancing, and it is as warm as spring.
But in his heart, he felt a little panic for some reason.
Yang Zheng squinted his eyes and glanced outside at the sky. "It's really late."
"Didn't it mean that Yang Zhengfa has already said he has control? Then he can't report it. Yang Tianan should have no pressure to deal with a small briquette factory, and the final work should be done very quickly."
Another general put down his wine glass.
"Could it be that those briquette merchants can find something wrong?"
When Yang Zheng heard this, although he was worried, he laughed and said, "Hahaha, this is impossible. He Shen and his people are all nameless refugees with no background at all. "
"Not to mention, there is no other city around our Yanyun City where they can ask for help."
"Yanyun City is the territory of my Yang family! Even His Majesty belongs to my Yang family, how could an accident happen!"
As Yang Zheng spoke, he took a breath and narrowed his eyes slightly: "It must be that stinky guy Yang Tianan who has made the same old habit of showing off his power and wasting time."
A general snorted, extremely dissatisfied: "General, this is enough for Yang Tianan, and we don't even know when! Such an important matter is not reported first!"
"If I had known earlier, you should have sent me to get Heshen. I am never ambiguous in my work."
As soon as his voice fell, Yang Zheng was about to answer with a smile.
Suddenly, the people in the room clearly saw a group of people wearing white clothes walking over outside the door.
"who!"
Yang Zheng stood up suddenly.
Several generals also stood up immediately.
While talking, General Baihu had already walked to the lobby door.
Yes, the person in front of him is General White Tiger. General White Tiger, who should not be in Yanyun City, appears in the prince's palace, which means that the Chu King's army has already invaded Yanyun City.
now.
General Baihu walked up to a few people. The big knife in his right hand, which was stained with blood, shocked Yang Zheng and others.
"who are you!!!"
Yang Zheng backed away in horror.
"Come on, come on, come on!!!"
A family general also shouted anxiously.
The singers in the lobby were flying around like headless flies.
"Hahaha, no need to shout."
"Now you are the only ones alive in the mansion."
"My general, White Tiger Pei Xingjian, is here to take your heads by order of His Highness!"
General Baihu's voice was reckless.
After saying that, he threw the big knife in his hand and hit a general in the back.
In addition, the other White Tiger Guards quickly attacked and killed Yang Zheng cleanly.
The other generals were killed one by one.
"Er..."
Yang Zheng lay on the ground, moaning continuously and in great pain.
"Why...why!!!"
Yang Zheng asked using up his last strength.
General Baihu looked down at him.
Extremely calm.
"You have touched a business that you shouldn't touch, so you must die early."
Business?
When Yang Zheng heard this, his eyes widened, and he immediately understood what kind of business he had encountered.
All of a sudden, endless regret arose in my heart.
With deep regret, I will die with my eyes closed.
If he knew that there was such an expert behind this business, Yang Zheng wouldn't dare to move even if he was killed.
Of course, if Yang Zheng didn't get involved in the briquette business, he would also die.
It's just that he would die half an hour later, or even longer, instead of General White Tiger coming here to kill him.
at the moment.
General Baihu saw that Yang Zheng was exhausted, so he took off Yang Zheng's head, turned around and left with his men.
.
………………………….
Yanyun City.
It was dark night, and the White Tiger Guard and the White Robe Guard entered Yanyun City through Yang Zhengfa's people, and divided into teams. According to the information sent by Yang Zheng, they went to the designated place to assassinate the soldiers of Yanyun City and let them die in their sleep.
As for Yanyun City, there was a map sent by Yang Zheng a month ago to Fushui Town. His Highness asked them to read it all the time. After watching it for a month, they were too familiar with it, even more familiar with Fushui Town.
Some people can even know their way around in the dark with their eyes closed, just like their own home.
In the silent night, Yanyun City soldiers were secretly killed one after another. Yanyun City as a whole belonged to the Yang family, and the balance gradually tilted towards the side of the King of Chu.
"Your Highness, our army is clearing out the old Sui soldiers in Yanyun City one by one."
"In addition, I also brought Yang Zheng's head here. This guy... If we hadn't taken action today, He Shen and the others would have been imprisoned."
General Baihu said.
In the black carriage, Li Kuan nodded slightly.
The whole person looked like a noble prince parading through the streets, which had nothing to do with the murderous intent that was lurking around Yanyun City tonight.
"Is that so? Have you put Yang Zheng's head in a box?"
"According to His Highness's original instructions, everything has been installed."
General Baihu presented a wooden box in his hand.
"Let's go."
"First give this gift to the new and last emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and tell him that I have arrived."
Li Kuan smiled lightly.
It can be said that it is a basic operation of the King of Chu to kill the enemy's cronies without seeing them, and it is extremely arrogant.
No.
It can even be said that this is the basic operation of the entire Chu King's army, just like when General Qinglong killed Changsun Shunde and sent it directly to Li Shimin.
The entire army and king are extremely arrogant...
…….….….….….
Inside Yanyun Palace.
Yang Zhengdao stared at Yang Zhengfa, angrily said: "Uncle, do you know what you did?"
Yang Zhengfa was a little flustered. Could it be that His Majesty discovered something?
He swallowed his saliva and said, "Yes... what is it? Please tell Your Majesty..."
His voice was not firm enough, and it was easy to tell that he was lying.
It really doesn't fit the posture that a prince should have.
It can even be said to be a coward.
And it is precisely because of this that he was chosen.
Selected by King Chu...
"Haha, uncle, what did you do, do you still want me to tell you in detail?"
"Give you a chance. You can confess on your own. I'll be lenient if you confess, but strict if you resist! Don't tell me that I didn't miss my old relationship and didn't give you a chance!"
Yang Zhengfa had always had something in his heart, but when he saw Yang Zhengdao's decisive look, he was so frightened that he fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty, I...I am guilty! I am guilty of a grave crime!!"
When Yang Zhengdao saw this, he couldn't help but sneered, "You are quite sensible."
but….…
Just because you are greedy to grab a business, as for kneeling down?
Yang Zhengdao didn't understand. In the past, his uncle Yang Zhengfa wasn't that afraid of him.
What happened next was a bit beyond Yang Zhengdao's expectations.
I saw Yang Zhengfa repeatedly hitting his mouth with both hands, his mouth turned red, and he cried: "Your Majesty, I am guilty! I am guilty of a big crime!"
"I shouldn't cooperate with King Chu and let them in, but... I'm afraid, I'm afraid! I'm too afraid to die!"
"King Chu?" Yang Zhengdao was stunned. He never expected to hear a name that should not appear or even be avoided in this matter.
He pointed at Yang Zhengfa angrily and said coldly: "Uncle, what the hell is going on! Tell me!!"
Yang Zhengfa had already broken through the defense at this time and collapsed: "Your Majesty, I let King Chu and the others in."
"King Chu...that man, he is so terrifying! There is nothing in the world that he can't do. Even when he was sent to the Turks with protons, that man was able to escape and made the Turks into a mess. Our little How can the small Yanyun City stop him!"
"It's impossible to stop him, impossible, impossible, never possible..."
"Even if I don't help open the door, it's only a matter of time before Yanyun City is destroyed. It's impossible for us to stop that terrible man. And if I open the door, King Chu Renyi, I can still save my life, and even save the life of the Yang family." The fire continues for generations to come.”
"Your Majesty, I, I opened the door for the sake of my family!!"
The shocking news shocked Yang Zhengdao so much that he stepped back. He looked at Yang Zhengfa blankly, as if he was disappointed: "Yang Zhengfa, did you sell Yanyun City to the King of Chu?"
This is the first time he has called Yang Zhengfa by his name in public, and it is also the first time he has called "I" instead of "I" in public.
King Chu, that man….
Too much shadow for everyone!
The same is true for Yang Zhengdao.
now.
When Yang Zhengfa heard this, he couldn't help but fell to his knees on the ground and kept kowtowing loudly: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for you! I'm sorry for everyone!"
"But me, but I am doing it for the overall situation! Yes, yes, I am opening the door for the future! Our Yang family must keep the fire!!"
Yang Zhengdao probably understood what was going on at this time, his eyes were blood red, and he took out the sword from the side with a "rubbing" sound.
"Yang! Right! Fa!!"
"You sold my Yanyun City to the King of Chu, just like the generals who opened the door when the Turks entered Youzhou Pass, you brought the King of Chu into my Yanyun City, and I will kill you!!!"
He roared angrily, even spitting out a lot of foam.
He pulled out his sword and looked only at Yang Zhengfa, who was kneeling down and begging for mercy. He wanted to chop him.
And right now.
A guard came in with a box.
"Your Majesty, someone outside the city has sent something. He also said that it was sent by Prince Yang Zheng. It must be delivered to your Majesty."
"I don't dare to be careless, so I will deliver it to you without stopping."
Yang Zhengdao was shocked. Did his uncle send something?
Could it be the formula of honeycomb briquette?
But what's the use of this?
Damn Yang Zhengfa has already welcomed the most terrifying thief in the world into Yanyun City. Now he doesn't even know where the thief is.
Compared with the briquette formula, finding the King of Chu is the most important thing.
However, he still took the box over and there was still time to open it.
however.
When he opened it, he exclaimed "Ah" and threw the box to the ground. He also took a few steps back and sat down on the ground.
“Dong dong dong”…….
The box fell to the ground, and a round human head kept rolling. It was Yang Zheng's head.
Yang Zheng is dead….
Yang Zhengdao's eyes widened.
stunned!
Shock!
Can't believe it! !
Yang Zhengfa on the side also saw Yang Zheng's head. Logically speaking, he should be angry or panicked, but at this moment he felt a little lucky.
This must have been killed by King Chu!
He can be sure!
perhaps….
When he decided to help King Chu, the deaths of Yang Zheng and other Yang family members had already filtered through his mind thousands of times.
"What the hell is going on!!"
Yang Zhengdao is still in confusion.
Before he could think about it, rapid footsteps sounded outside the palace, and the palace was surrounded by people.
Then, a crowd of people came in surrounded by the arrogant man.
Yang Zhengdao was shocked. He had only seen this person once, when the Turks escorted him here, but even though it was once, it was firmly imprinted in his mind.
"Chu! King!!"
Yang Zhengdao gritted his teeth and said angrily: "What did you do to my Yanyun City!!!"
Hearing this, Li Kuan laughed and said, "This Yanyun City used to be yours, but it's not yours now."
With a wave of his hand, a subordinate brought a new box in an instant, and opened it in front of Yang Zhengdao.
"Crash"......
One head after another rolled to the ground.
Yang Zhengdao felt more frightened every time he looked at one.
He knew all those people and had to know them.
They are the commanders and generals stationed in various places in Yanyun City, as well as his Yang clan members.
This! !
King Chu has already fully controlled Yanyun City!
Yang Zhengdao couldn't believe this established fact.
He glared at King Chu and said angrily: "Why so fast? Our entire Yanyun City has been lost! What did you do!"
Li Kuan smiled and said: "Although I am attacking the city today, I was already planning it a few months ago."
Yang Zhengdao immediately looked at Yang Zhengfa and said angrily: "You did it!!!"
Yang Zhengfa didn't dare to look and lowered his head.
"Yang! Right! Fa!!"
"You caused the destruction of my Yang Shi's foundation. When you go to the underworld, my ancestors of the Yang family will definitely eat your flesh and blood and gnaw on your bones!!"
"You are the sinner of my Yang family, the sinner of the ages!!"
Yang Zhengdao's eyes were blood red.
For the first time in so many years since childhood, he wanted to kill someone so much.
Yang Zhengfa also collapsed and covered his head: "I, I didn't want to, but how could our little Yanyun City stop King Chu! I am here for the future, you don't understand, Yang Zhengdao!!"
Seeing that these two uncles and nephews were starting to get into a verbal spat, Li Kuan quickly asked someone to take Yang Zhengdao away.
Then he personally comforted Yang Zhengfa, stabilized his mood, and then walked into the palace.
In the harem of Yanyun Palace, there were him, the King of Chu's army, and the things that the people of Fushui Town longed for.
Pass on the country, jade seal! !
Queen Xiao is responsible for keeping the imperial seal, and she has walked through the streets and alleys of Yanyun City without seeing Queen Mother Xiao. She will only be in this harem!
.
…….….….….….
Late at night.
Queen Xiao was sleeping soundly, but for some reason, the noise outside woke her up.
"Xiao Luan, what's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?"
Her voice is gentle.
Yes, her voice is always so gentle and full of loving aura.
however.
The voice fell, but there was no echo.
Empress Xiao frowned slightly, what happened? Even her personal maid was missing.
"This silly boy Zhengdao won't have trouble with his uncle again."
"This silly boy is really, he doesn't think about how to be an emperor every day, but thinks about how to do business."
Queen Xiao couldn't help laughing angrily.
But he was not angry. After all, the Great Sui Dynasty was a thing of the past. It didn't matter whether Yang Zhengdao was a powerful emperor or not. It would be good if he could just calm down.
Just complaining.
"Ding ding ding..."
While Empress Xiao was thinking endlessly, there was a harsh metallic sound on the ground.
She narrowed her eyes slightly: "Who is there?"
No one answered, still no one answered.
But soon.
When she saw the person coming clearly, her beautiful eyes widened with horror on her face.
"you!"
"It's you, King Chu!!!"
"You, why are you here!!!"
Queen Xiao was shocked.
This man made Liang Guo no longer want to attack the Tang Dynasty, and also caused the death of the pillars of thousands of families in Liang Guo. She will never forget this man and his face.
Li Kuan put the knife on the table, sat down and said with a calm smile: "Queen Xiao, you are well."
"I just came here to pick up one thing. That thing...I believe that the people from the Turks have told you."
Queen Xiao's eyes were panicked.
Yes, of course she does!
The relationship between the Turks and the Liang State was one of prosperity and loss for both.
So when the King of Chu was rescued, he said that he was coming to get the imperial seal and asked her to keep it safe. Jieli Khan directly sent someone to tell her.
From then on, Queen Xiao had trouble sleeping and eating all night long.
He asked Yang Zhengdao to spend most of his money on building city defenses.
Yang Zhengdao listened to her words and used his own money to strengthen the city walls, increase his troops, and everything else that could use money to increase military strength.
Precisely because of this, he was poorer than ever and wanted to make money, so he set his sights on the hugely profitable briquettes.
And after spending so much money, the effect is remarkable.
Yanyun City's defenses have more than doubled compared to before.
Reassuring.
Can!
Who would have thought, King Chu!This terrible enemy actually...appeared in her room.
He shouldn't have appeared, shouldn't have...
"King Chu, what have you done to politics?"
Queen Xiao's eyes were full of worry.
After Yang Guang's death, Yang Zhengdao had become everything to her.
She just wanted this silly kid to live out his life safely.
So when the King of Chu appeared here, she didn't ask about the situation in Yanyun City, nor did she ask about other people, let alone Yang's clan relatives, only Yang Zhengdao.
Li Kuan poured a cup of tea and drank it down: "You know what this king wants."
"Give me what I want, and naturally you will know what you want."
"How do those businessmen say this? Haha, by the way, it's mutual benefit."
