Cultivation In Troubled Times

Yang Jian was poor when he was a child. He grew up in a temple and developed a good habit of diligence and thrift. In addition, he led the army well, fought bravely, and knew the tactics well. With his presence, the great ship of the Northern Zhou Dynasty had to come to live in the future. It was another outstanding ship that swept the north of China and marched forward bravely!

Because of his incorruptibility, there was not much gold and silver in the prime minister's office. Just because he was in power, his colleagues and ministers in power intended to curry favor with him and sent a steady stream of wealth to the prime minister's office in the name of giving gifts under various pretexts while he had been out for a long time.

Yang Jian's wife, Dugu's, is intelligent and virtuous. She learned that the state treasury of Dazhou had been emptied because of the long-term war. She just wanted to take these ill gotten gains as military salaries and send them to the front line to make her husband Yang Jian's life easier. Since then, those who refused to accept the heavy bribes sent by these officials one by one, and then sealed them up in the Treasury.

Dugu's family wanted Yang Jian, who had just returned from the front line, to deal with the property himself. However, as soon as Yang Jian came back, he immediately went to the imperial palace to see the sick Emperor Xuan of Zhou. At the same time, he was busy dealing with some government affairs to share with the bedridden Emperor Xuan. As a result, the matter was put aside.

This time Yang Jian went out to hunt in the city, he also had some deep meaning. The news of Emperor Xuan's illness seemed to have wings, which had already spread all over the jurisdiction of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Even the Northern Qi and Houliang dynasties, including the Southern Dynasty Chen state, learned about it through spies in Chang'an city.

In order to stabilize people's mind and show off his power, Yang Jiancai put on the scene of hunting out of the city in his busy schedule. With this intention, the countless soldiers and civilians of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, as well as those hostile countries, announced that even if Emperor Xuan had any accident, Yang Jian was also powerful and firm in the Northern Zhou Dynasty!

However, Yang Jian just left. Dugu's family kept countless gold and silver treasures in the Treasury. Wang Feng took nearly half of them!

In the early morning of the second day, the sound of a horse's hoof, which was as dense as a shower, broke the tranquility of Chang'an city. Sleepy eyed, the residents of the city opened the doors and windows, and looked out from the cracks in panic. They saw teams of cavalry with armour galloping by. The heads of several officers yelled from time to time: "block all the entrances and exits of the streets, and strictly check the passers-by. The four cities and eight gates can't be opened..."

Not long after, the cavalry left with a roar of hooves, and more infantry came in uniform, occupying every street in an instant. The rest was knocking door to door. For a moment, the sound of "bang bang Peng Peng Peng" was heard from all directions, accompanied by soldiers' loud shouting and scolding, as well as people's screaming and children's crying.

"What happened?" Those who have not been disturbed by the knock on the door are anxious and uneasy to guess.

"Bang bang bang", a loud knock on the door, the shopkeeper of the restaurant suddenly surprised, quickly got up from the bed, casually put on a piece of clothes, opened the door with shoes, and yelled out: "are you pigs? Didn't you hear so much outside? Sleep like a dead man

A man came out of a side room with a smile and went downstairs to open the door.

"Who the hell is full? Don't let people sleep more in the morning Shaking his fat, the shopkeeper closed the door again, yawned again, opened the quilt again and lay down. In his opinion, there is a big boss, at least in the city of Chang'an, no one dares to go to the restaurant to make trouble.

The big boss has a close relationship with Yang Su, the current general of motorcycles. The restaurant of inviting the moon is not only the largest restaurant in Chang'an City, but also a gold lettered signboard with the largest number of branches. Moreover, in addition to catering and accommodation, several gambling houses and brothels in Chang'an city are also set up by the big boss.

Think of here, fat shopkeeper face dew smile, will go to sleep again. Just then, there was a loud bang of "Peng", followed by another "bang". The man who opened the door downstairs howled like a pig: "shopkeeper, come on... Ouch, hello..."

The fat shopkeeper was furious. He opened the door and went out after putting on his clothes and shoes“ Who the hell doesn't have eyes? I don't want to see where this is? As for you people, don't you copy the guy quickly... "

It's a dead man to say who can sleep in such a big noise! All the guests in the restaurant opened the door one after another, stuck out their heads and craned their necks to look downstairs.

As soon as the fat shopkeeper came to the stairway, he swept away his angry face and walked down the stairs to the hall with a smile. The man who opened the door was standing on one side with a black face. A big table had been torn apart and scattered all over the floor. The two magnificent vermilion doors of the restaurant also hung askew on the doorframe. It seemed that they would collapse at any time.

Dozens of restaurant owners stood silent in a corner, and those sticks and shovel and other objects were also thrown aside. A young warrior, wearing full armor, coldly pressed the handle of the knife on his waist, stood at the door, staring at the people in the hall without saying a word. Behind him, there were two teams of people blocking the door of the restaurant.

"It turned out that the soldiers came here... Ha ha..." the fat shopkeeper came to the warrior, clasped his fist and grinned, and looked amiable“ I don't know if Junye is a subordinate of the general. What are you doing here? " Seeing the warrior's indifference, the fat shopkeeper yelled at the guys: "Why are you still in a daze? Go ahead, put wine on the table, and I'll have a good drink with these soldiers... "

"No!" The young warrior at the head said coldly, "we are the guards of the prime minister's house. This time, I'm here to search for the bandits. Bring me the register of lodgers in this building, and I'll check them one by one! "

"With... With the government..." fat shopkeeper face white, heart know these people, is the General Yang Su also can't stir up. He had to honestly take out the register book and present it to the young warrior with both hands.

"Everybody, wake up! Stay in your room and don't walk around. Otherwise, the consequences will be at your own risk! " The young warrior roared at the houses upstairs. Then, with a wave of his hand, two teams of guards behind him "pedal pedal pedal" to fish through, wooden stairs, suddenly a "creak creak" earthquake shaking unceasingly.

The fat shopkeeper's eyes suddenly jumped, but he had no choice. It was Qiu Ba who took the whole restaurant down. There was no place to complain!

Wang Feng, Xiang Kun and Chen Xiaoshi are staying in an upper room of the restaurant. The three of them looked at each other and laughed. They knew that the east window incident had happened, but they didn't care about everything in front of them. But if they didn't do it, or run away, they couldn't think of any good way. It seems that we have to improvise!

But in the western city of Chang'an, the garrison standing at the head of the city, seeing the dust in the distance and the banners blocking out the sun, immediately turned his head and cried to the lower part of the city, "prime minister, go back to the city and open the gate quickly!"

"Isn't the gate closed? Ah... Prime Minister... With the Duke... "The city gate guards came back and quickly removed the horizontal bolt. In a heavy rumbling sound, the suspension bridge was put down, and the tall and thick city gate was finally slowly opened. At this time, countless iron cavalry had rolled up like a strong wind.

"Boom" after a sudden sound, the dust flying all over the sky, the riders have already entered the city.

As soon as I entered the gate, I changed the original lineup of four riders into the shape of a long snake and a single rider. I slowed down and went back to the city.

"Welcome the prime minister back from hunting!" City guards, a burst of Shouts. A white horse with a big head, a middle-aged man with shining silver armor, with a smile on his face, nodded and waved to the soldiers and civilians in the city. He is less than 40 years old. He is black bearded and has a long eyebrow. His manner is heroic and graceful. This man is Optimus Prime of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The prime minister followed Yang Jian!

Seeing that the city was heavily guarded and the passers-by were questioned, Yang Jian immediately stopped the whole cavalry. With a frown on his brow, when he was about to ask a question, he saw a familiar Fu Wei step forward and kneel down on one knee to play: "prime minister, the prime minister met with a robber last night, and he lost a lot of money... We are searching for the whole city, and we must take the robber..."

"Stolen? How much has been lost? Does the prime minister have so much money? " Yang jianlue thought about it and suddenly realized it. When he just came back, he heard his wife Dugu mention it. Because he was busy, he put it on hold.

"Who did it? Do you have eyes? How much has been lost? Are there any casualties in your family Yang Jian asked faintly.

The official guard saw that Yang Jian could not answer several questions, so he had to kneel down in embarrassment. At this time, several officers trotted all the way, knelt down one by one, and made a detailed statement of what they had mastered.
