Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 160 Blood Splattered in Luoyang City
The little messenger became a lot more arrogant when he had someone behind him. He brought out the name of the prince, thinking that he could scare everyone, but the King of Jin in front of him would not give him face, or rather the prince.

The messenger gritted his teeth and said, "His Royal Highness, King Jin, please don't make things difficult for me. I came here on the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince. If you don't respect it, you are ignoring His Highness the Crown Prince's order."

"I want to see what you can do to me if I don't go?"

After Yang Guang finished speaking, the elite soldiers he brought put their hands on their swords, ready to unsheath them, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The arrogant messenger immediately stopped and lost his arrogance. He softened and said, "Your Highness, Prince Jin, I am just a small messenger. Why do you need to embarrass me?"

"A little messenger? I don't think that's the case. The king is standing here and you, a little messenger, are riding on a big horse and giving orders condescendingly."

Hearing this, the soldier immediately dismounted and stepped forward with a flattering smile. The people behind him naturally dismounted.

The messenger got the prince's instruction to deliberately embarrass the King of Jin, but the King of Jin is a tough nut and he can't chew it. The messenger who doesn't know how to adapt is used as a command arrow. If he really takes the title of the prince, everyone will give in to him. .

The messenger was about to approach Yang Guang, but Li Feng and other guards stopped him.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, this is a document from His Highness the Crown Prince."

The orderly handed it over with respectful hands.

Yang Guang had no intention of answering: "I still admire your unruly demeanor before."

The messenger smiled apologetically: "You are a villain and you shouldn't do this."

"If an apology is useful, what's the point of asking for laws? Today, the king was entertaining guests at the Duke of Pei's mansion. He was disturbed by the excuses. The little messenger is still suspected of being guilty. How can I believe the letter sent by such a person?"

Yang Guang took the letter from the guard and tore it up without looking at it.

"Li Feng caught the thief who pretended to be the prince's messenger and sent him to prison for interrogation to see who had the courage to pretend to be one of the prince's subordinates."

"It's Your Highness."

Li Feng immediately led his men to capture the three messengers. The messenger shouted: "Your Highness, you can't wait for me like this. Your Highness the Crown Prince knows..."

“You’ll know if you know.”

Yang Guang waved his hand nonchalantly and asked people to take them down, and then said to Zheng Yi: "Uncle, in order to interrogate this bold thief, you may have to use the prison in the city."

Zheng Yi was not a person who was afraid of trouble. He immediately said: "Your Highness, please feel free to use it. I will send someone to say hello."

The two of them returned to the house, and Yang Guang said: "A nice banquet was disturbed by a few big-headed soldiers with no eyesight."

Zheng Yi smiled gently: "Your Highness's banquet is a small one. If the ignorant messenger dares to deliberately embarrass His Highness, he will definitely be punished. But Your Highness, how do you explain to His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Since I came to shout, I have to go. Let's leave for Luoyang tomorrow morning."

"His Royal Highness is in such a difficult situation. Your Highness, if you go to Luoyang, you may not be able to avoid embarrassment. Your Highness, you..."

"Uncle, I can still handle it."

When Yang Guang said this, Zheng Yi didn't say much.

Early the next morning, Yang Guang was ready to lead his troops. At the gate of the city, Zheng Yi was expecting another group of people to arrive.

Without any pleasantries, Zheng Yi said directly: "Your Highness, yesterday you asked some soldiers to send Yu Wenkai back first. Now your team is not full. According to the establishment of the Sui King, I came here to make up for the size of your accompanying soldiers."

Zheng Yi was afraid that Yang Guang's soldiers would not suffer enough losses. Yang Guang smiled and said, "I will keep the friendship between uncle and uncle in my heart. Take care of yourself, uncle, and come to see you and aunt after having some fun."

"Have a pleasant trip, Your Highness, King Jin."

For a person like Zheng Yi, who has been in the center of power for many years, it is not true that he will completely side with Yang Guang now. He will only make good friends with many parties, and he will never offend Yang Yong head-on.

……

……

At the city gate of Luoyang, Yang Yong waited one day longer than expected before he arrived at Yang Guang.

When he saw Yang Guang's team approaching the city gate, Yang Yong immediately ordered the gates of Luoyang City to be closed.

The city gate was closed and Yang Guang was not allowed to enter. Li Feng, who was riding a horse, shouted: "His Royal Highness the Sui and Jin Dynasties have arrived in Luoyang City. Please open the door quickly."

Yang Yong did not show up on the city gate, but the general guarding the city poked his head out.

"Who is coming with troops from below the city? Retreat quickly."

Yang Guang smiled disdainfully, Yang Yong always likes to make these little tricks that are annoying, childish and boring. He can only gain the upper hand in this kind of thing for a short time.

Li Feng shouted: "This is His Highness the Sui and Jin Dynasties. Open your eyes and take a good look."

"I haven't received any orders or notifications. I don't know about this. Please go to Wengcheng to check."

The Wengcheng is a small Guocheng at the entrance of the city wall. It is a very important city defense facility. Once you enter the Wengcheng and the front and rear gates are closed, you really become a turtle in the urn. It is naturally impossible to be inspected by them when you enter the Wengcheng.

Yang Guang felt that Yang Yong didn't have the guts to really do something to him, but a gentleman cannot take risks unless he stands under a dangerous wall.

Yang Guang walked out on his own and asked the soldiers on the wall, "I am Yang Guang, King of Jin. Who is guarding the city?"

"General Li Dang, please forgive me. I haven't received any news that the King of Jin is coming to the city. In order to prevent anyone from pretending to be a routine official, please come to Wengcheng for inspection. The accompanying soldiers will remove their armor and enter the city."

Li Feng came to Yang Guang anxiously: "Your Highness, you absolutely must not do this."

"Of course I know. Bring those messengers from yesterday." Yesterday's messengers were tied up and brought to the city gate. They knelt in the direction of the city gate. They had some injuries on their bodies and were tortured. It's been a while.

They all confessed that the prince asked them to deliberately disgust Yang Guang.

"General Li abides by the law, and I must cooperate. General Li said that he did not receive a general notification and did not inform the king in advance that he was going to enter the palace. However, I met these three messengers before and said that the prince invited me to enter Luoyang City."

Yang Guang smiled disdainfully and continued: "I just said that the three men are not good people with their sly eyebrows. His Royal Highness the Prince's soldiers are all wise and powerful soldiers. How could there be such a thief version of the soldiers? Since there was no communication in advance, it means that These people are all pretending to be the prince's subordinates to deliver letters. This is a capital crime. Anyone who comes here will be stabbed."

Li Feng laughed evilly and took out his long sword from its sheath, the bright and sharp blade shining brightly in the sun.

Yang Guang took a step back slightly and said, "General Li and these people are the ones pretending to be the prince and spreading false information. Do you recognize them?"

Li Dang looked at the three people who were arrested at the city gate. He never expected that Yang Guang would arrest the person who was delivering the order. Yang Yong, who was not far behind him, looked ugly.

Why didn't Yang Guang's every step follow his preset route?

He just wanted to embarrass Yang Guang and see him make a fool of himself, but now it was his own fault.

Li Dang took a step back and whispered: "Your Highness, those are all your subordinates. You can't just ignore them."

"If I open my mouth now, it means I'm deliberately making things difficult for you. That's not okay."

Li Dang said anxiously: "But if this happens, King Jin will really take action."

"Humph, he doesn't have the guts, but it's just a scare."

Yang Guang from below the city continued to shout: "General Li, make sure you don't recognize these three people."

"Of course I don't... don't know him."

"It's easy if you don't know me. Li Feng takes action."

Li Feng raised the knife high, the reflected sunlight was very dazzling, and he raised the knife in his hand.

"and many more……"

Li Dang, the guard on the city wall, still couldn't help shouting.

But Li Feng's knife could no longer stop. It was very sharp. With one blow, the head fell to the ground, and blood spattered. The head of the messenger rolled twice on the ground, and his eyes looked at the city wall fiercely, and then disappeared. vitality.

It’s too late, I’ll have to pay attention in my next life.

Blood splattered on the city gate, and Li Dang on the city wall didn't know what to do. The prince clenched his fists now and didn't know what to do. He didn't expect that Yang Guang would really kill people in front of the city gate.

Yang Guang shouted to Li Dang on the city wall: "Since it is a person who pretends to lie and reports, it is not a pity to die. Why is General Li shouting, wait a minute."

Li Dang was panicking now. Judging from his behavior just now, the prince would not stand up for his subordinates, who were the subordinates he brought from the capital. It seemed that his life could be sacrificed at any time in exchange for benefits.

Working for the prince may lead him to regard him as an abandoned son with no idea of ​​rescuing him.

The reason why he chose to help the prince in the first place was very simple. As an ordinary guard in the city, he naturally wanted the prince to win over him. Even if he offended the King of Jin, if he could please the prince, he would still make money, and his future future would be limitless.

But in today's confrontation, he understood that the prince was cold-blooded and the king of Jin was cruel. He really shouldn't be involved in this kind of conflict between the royal children.

Protect yourself wisely, no one wants to be an outcast.

Li Dang immediately softened his tone: "Your Highness, King Jin, please calm down. Splattering blood on Luoyang City will not do you any good. I will send someone to ask the inner city if there is an error in the transmission. Please wait a moment." .”

Facing the guard's soft tone, Yang Guang didn't think it was because the prince behind him had bowed his head when he saw him killing people. The prince was not such a person.

"Go ahead and I'll give you a quarter of an hour. If you don't reply within a quarter of an hour, I'll go back to Daxing City."

Li Dang turned around, and the prince behind him looked livid and scolded: "Who allows you to make your own decisions?"

Li Dang looked ugly, but he managed to show a flattering expression: "Your Highness, your Highness the Prince of Jin is allowed to kill people in the city. If the news is spread back to Daxing City, His Majesty will blame us and we have nothing to do with it."

"With me supporting you, what are you afraid of?"

When Yang Guang said this, Li Dang became even more afraid. Will the prince stand up to him?I'm afraid it's their lives.

Li Dang didn't know what to do, when a voice sounded: "Open the city gate."

Everyone turned around and looked, Yuan Xiaoju had arrived.

With his approval, Li Dang went down and ordered people to open the city gate.

Yang Yong looked at his father-in-law in confusion.

Yuan Xiaoju said to Yang Yong with sincerity: "Your Highness, you should treat different people in different ways. The King of Jin has always been at a disadvantage when dealing with others. Your Highness, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get any benefits from a head-on confrontation with him."

"Then what do you say?"

"What does King Jin care about most?"

"The second child has always been pretending, and I don't know either."

"For those who love to show off, what they cherish most is their reputation? And the King of Jin attaches great importance to his own reputation among the people."
