.

The heavy rain was pouring, and Yuchi Gong stood there on the spot, with blue veins rising on his hands.

He had already realized something was wrong, but he did not expect that the crisis would come so soon. Xiao Buyi was the secret of heaven? The remnant of Taipingdao? Thinking of this, Yuchi Gong frowned secretly. Taipingdao was not very clear. He only knew that a rather mysterious sect was secretive in the court. He rarely understood that Xiao Buyi had arrived at the Pei family caravan with him two years ago. Although he was sincere at that time, he could only say that he was mediocre. How could he get involved with Taipingdao again?

However, Xiao Buyi's martial arts made rapid progress, which was something that even Yuchi Gong could not have imagined.

Although he had never seen Xiao Buyi take action since his separation, he could only rely on his own efforts to subdue the thieves of Wagang, and he knew that Xiao Buyi's martial arts were absolutely not bad.

But no matter what, Xiao Buyi was his brother, so he was reluctant to do it? The thought flashed through Yuchi Gong's mind, but he even tightened his sword.

"Yuchi Jingde, you really disappointed me." Yang Taipu saw Yuchi Gong hesitating and sighed: "I have used good intentions to protect your life, just wanting you to achieve your ambitions in the future and become..."

"Become the second Xiao Buyi? Let you be wrongly killed?" Yuchi Gong asked coldly.

Yang Yichen's eyes flashed, and his expression was complicated. Qin Shubao wore a felt hat on the city gate tower. Looking up from below, he couldn't see his expression clearly.

The pouring rain hit everyone's body, and it was hard to tell whether it was sweat, rain, or tears.

Although the soldiers were silent and obeyed Yang Yichen, they all knew that Yuchi Gongcai led his army to defeat the bandits. Today, they would meet each other with swords and guns, and they would inevitably feel sad that the rabbit died and the fox was sad.

Yang Yichen said for a long time: "What a pity..."

"What a pity," Yuchi Gong suddenly burst out laughing, his voice was so loud, "Mr. Yang, don't you think this move is chilling?"

Before Yang Yichen said anything, Yuchi Gong had already said, "General Xiao has made great contributions. He did not say anything, but only said that the grassland was in a thousand miles of communication, and Yanmen was trying to resist the two things of the savior. He should be loyal to the saint. If he has a second thought to the saint, he does not have to rebel. Just stand by and watch. Lord Yang, you can turn black and white, but Yuchi Gong and the people of the world are not blind! If Luoshui attacked him, how could he go alone to save the saint? General Xiao was loyal to me, the Great Sui Dynasty, and he only eradicated Wagang not long ago. Now he came to rescue Lord Yang overnight. Attacking the Supreme King is the cornerstone of the Great Sui Dynasty! If you say you are rebelling against the emperor, do you want to wipe out the hearts of the world?"

Yang Yichen was speechless, but he did not stop Yuchi Gong from speaking.

All the soldiers and generals didn't know the rain or tears on their faces, but their faces were a little confused.

"What a remnant of Taiping Dao, what a mastermind of Luoshui attacking the throne." Yuchi Gong took a long breath and said, "The emperor has slandered the slander, and does not distinguish between loyalty and treacherous, and believes in slander. Today's place is Xiao Buyi, and tomorrow's day, Yang Yichen must be no different. If the rest of the people do not resist and are exempted from investigation, Yuchi Gong will see General Xiao suffer an unjust grievance. If he does not resist and defend, how can he stand in heaven and earth?"

Qin Shubao's eyes flashed on the city gate tower, but his face felt hot.

Yang Yichen said coldly: "So you are determined to rebel?"

"The king forced his ministers to rebel, but he had to rebel." Yuchi Gong said in a narrow voice.

Yang Yichen frowned and said, "Yuchi Gong, do you know that Xiao Buyi will die this time. Even if you escape from Xia Pi City, you will not be able to save Xiao Buyi. General Zhang has carefully planned and even considered your rebelliousness. He asked General Qin to stay here to stop you. Xiao Buyi wants to survive, and his power is better than climbing to the sky! Since that's the case, are you still obsessed?"

Yuchi Gong laughed out loud. "It's one thing to do if General Xiao can survive, but it's another thing to decide what to do. If Yuchi Gong can use blood to alert some people, it's not a pity to die! It's a pity that some people are always obsessed with it."

Yang Yichen sighed softly, "Shoot the arrow!"

As soon as he said that, Yuchi Gong had already rushed towards the city gate tower, waved his knife and shouted: "Uncle Qin, I respect you as a hero. Yuchi Gong died at your hands, and finally there is less regret."

His voice came as he heard the sword, and the raindrops mixed with bows and arrows came, like silver flames.

Yuchi Gong was like a moth flying into the flames, unrestrained! Qin Shubao held his guns in his hands on the city gate, his eyes were dim! The boats on the wide river channel were almost connected. Although the wind was strong, it was still impossible to have a huge dragon boat and phoenix boat. The dragon boat was sailing on the river surface without any ups and downs.

Yang Guang likes the feeling of stability. Whether it is a golden car, Liuhe City or a dragon boat, he always strives for stability and stability. No matter how harsh the environment is, he can be at peace. But even if he doesn't like to listen to the news of bandits, even if he wants to ignore the rising fires of the Central Plains and look at the gloomy weather outside the hall, he knows that the Sui Dynasty is now in turmoil!

Looking at the heavy rain pouring out, Yang Guang murmured, "Is Xiao Buyi dead?"

Pei Yun's face was a little strange. Before he could answer, Yu Shiji had already stepped forward and said, "Return to the emperor, although Xiao Buyi is not dead at this moment, he is probably not far from death! At this moment, Xiao Buyi is eager to make contributions. In order to conceal the secrets of heaven and earth, he probably has gone to capture Lu Mingyue, and he wants to abandon the soldiers and protect the commander and escape. However, he does not want the mantis to stalk the cicada and oriole behind him. Even though he is treacherous and cunning, with General Zhang, the Dinghai Ding Hai needle, Xiao Buyi cannot escape his life."

"Xiao Buyi goes to capture Lu Mingyue?" Yang Guang frowned and said, "Is he still loyal to me?"

Yu Shiji's face changed slightly, and his mind was confused, as if he had not heard what he said. Yuwen Shu could only go forward and said, "Return to the priest, the order to kill Xiao Buyi was issued by the priest in person. Master Xu, Master Huan..."

The two Taoist priests around him stood up, one with a handsome face and the other with a calm manner, which is Huan Fasi and Xu Hongke who said they could return the sun to Chen Xuanhua.

Although Huan Fasi was still fairy-like, he felt a little uneasy, but Xu Hongke was still calm and did not panic when facing Yang Guang.

"Master, according to Taoist Master Huan and I watching the celestial phenomena at night, although the Taiping Dao Demon Star is dim and dull. However, the Tianji Star appears next to it, which is approaching the light of the Emperor Star. Not only will it defeat the Emperor Chen and return the Yang, but it also has the sign of shaking the foundation of the Emperor Star. I and Taoist Master Huan calculated that the Tianji Star should be on Xiao Buyi. In order to seek the Emperor Chen to return the Yang and to ensure the stability of the Sui Dynasty, the Emperor immediately called General Zhang to come to the court and kill Xiao Buyi."

Yang Guang looked at the river with a little unconsciousness, not knowing whether he could hear it.

Yuwen Shu frowned secretly and then coughed, "Sir, according to what the old ministers know, in every chaotic world, there are remnants of Taiping Dao that cause chaos, but Tianji is the source of Taiping Dao every time. Although Taiping Dao is weak, it is necessary to guard against it. Their Tianji is quite confusing. The Book of Heaven even claims to know about the great things for thousands of years and overestimate one's own ability. The emperor removes Tianji. It is like giving Taiping Dao a heavy blow. If the Tianji is gone, Taiping Dao will disperse. Only when the Sui Dynasty can the Sui Dynasty be as stable as Mount Tai and not spread throughout the world."

"The Sui Dynasty is as stable as Mount Tai, so Xuan Hua must have liked it?" Yang Guang was slightly excited.

Yuwen Shu complained secretly, and could only say, "I guess that's the case."

Yang Guang asked again, "By the way, Yuwen Aiqing, when will Xuanhua return to the sun?"

"According to the emperor, according to the words of the two Taoist priests, except for Xiao Buyi, it should be sunny at the end of the year." It was raining heavily and the hall was cool, but Yuwen Shu was sweating. Yang Guang murmured: "At the end of the year, then I will wait until the end of the year. Stop me from seeing the people of Xuanhua, and killing them without mercy!"

Yuwen Shu was shocked and couldn't tell who Yang Guang was talking about! If he really couldn't present Chen Xuanhua at the end of the year, would he be considered a person who stopped Yang Guang from meeting Chen Xuanhua?

Pei Yun kept silent. After all, Xiao Buyi was from the Pei family. But everything was recommended by Pei Mingcui. Now that he was in trouble, he could only stay out of the matter. Yu Shiji felt that he was suppressing Pei Yun. He couldn't help but feel proud, and suddenly thought of something: "Master, Xiao Buyi's father Xiao Dapeng is still with him, is it..."

He wanted to speak but stopped, thinking about Yang Guang's thoughts. Yang Guang frowned and said, "I am polite and kind-hearted. I will cancel the law of even sanctions. Is it that you have forgotten? Although Xiao Buyi is a secret, what does it have to do with his father? Once Xiao Buyi dies, don't mention the rest."

Seeing the ministers obeying orders, Yang Guang thought that Xiao Buyi was deeply loved by the queen. Without discussing with her, she hurriedly asked Zhang Xutuo to kill Xiao Buyi, but it was difficult to explain to the queen. She has been following her for more than 30 years, working hard and focusing on herself. It is rare to be happy. If she knew that Xiao Buyi was dead, she would probably be unhappy again. Alas, she would marry her, sincerely treat her, abide by her wife, and help her deceive her father and seize the throne. She has made great contributions. She has countless women in her life, but besides Chen Xuanhua, the queen is sincere to her. Xiao Dapeng will not kill her for now. It is my compensation to be able to talk to the queen. Yuwen Shu left the hall and hurriedly pulled Xu Hongke to a place without anyone.

He was anxious at this moment. After living for more than 70 years, he did not feel that life was as difficult as these few months. When Yang Guang saw him every day, he would always ask when Chen Xuanhua would be restored to the sun. He couldn't sleep at night now and only regretted that he was obsessed with the ghosts and offered Chen Xuanhua. Although he was entrusting with the purpose of using Chen Xuanhua to attack the Pei family and eradicate Xiao Buyi, it seemed that his purpose was gradually achieved. Pei Mingcui was missing. He was more trusted by the saint than Pei Yun. Xiao Buyi was not far from death, but if he had to make another choice, he would never walk into the path of offering Chen Xuanhua.

"Master Xu, can you really make Mrs. Chen return to the sun at the end of the year? Don't lie to me. If you lie to me, I'm afraid your life will be lost." Yuwen Shu asked deceivingly.

Xu Hongke was not nervous, "General Yuwen, now you and me are on the same boat. If you deceive you, what benefits will it do to me?"

Yuwen Shu nodded and thought to himself that he said it was good. He had always trusted Xu Hongke. Although it was a helpless move, it was also because he felt that Xu Hongke really had no need to lie to him. Such things harm others and not benefit oneself, how could anyone do it?

"General Yuwen can rest assured. I will definitely give you Mrs. Chen at that time and will never break your promise, but now it is a secret that cannot be revealed."

"If you want to kill Xiao Buyi, you can trick him into coming back and kill him," Yuwen Shu frowned and said, "Now, let Zhang Xutuo take action, I'm afraid it's not easy to kill him. If you suggest that the emperor ask Zhang Xutuo to take action, it's a failure."

Xu Hongke sighed and said, "General Yuwen, Xiao Buyi is now in a high position and the emperor has changed his orders every day. If Xiao Buyi is deceived back here, I am afraid that the emperor will change his mind again. Besides, how can the queen not plead for mercy? Now General Zhang takes action to capture him, and the general is outside. The emperor will not accept the order. It will be too late for the emperor to change it anyway. Besides, General Zhang has great martial arts and has been in a long position. I think Xiao Buyi cannot escape his hand. General Yuwen will be relieved. At that time, Xiao Buyi will die and Mrs. Chen will return to the sun. The Sui Dynasty will be stable. General Yuwen is indeed the most meritorious official of the Sui Dynasty!"

Yuwen Shu was confused and waved her hand and said, "That Taoist priest would do it himself."

Seeing that Xu Hongke was about to turn around, Yuwen Shu called a few soldiers and whispered: "From today on the road, you will keep monitoring Master Xu day and night. If he has any problems, or disappears, you will wipe your neck."

Yuwen Shu arranged everything but couldn't feel at ease. He turned back to the White Tiger Warship and stared at the river ahead, feeling anxious.

The heavy rain was continuous. The river breeze was cold, but it only made him feel even more confused. Suddenly, he felt that someone was approaching. Yuwen Shu shouted loudly, pulled out his sword and said, "Who?"

Yu Wenhua and Gudong fell to the ground, "Dad, it's me..."

"Huaji, what are you here to do?" Yuwen Shu frowned. One of the three sons is more incompetent than the other. Shiji is now inhumane. The princess I married every day is not a nose, face is not a face, and she looks like she is hard to fill her desires. Zhiji is even more incompetent. She drinks and bets with the guards on the boat all day long. This Huaji is the one he has to work hard, but also the one he disappoints the most!

"Dad, I'll take a look at you. Now that the wind is strong, you are old, so you should pay more attention."

Yu Wenji's words made Yu Wenshu soften, and he coughed a few times. Yu Wenji helped him turn the cabin. After serving me with hot tea, he suddenly said, "Dad, why don't you just forget it?"

"What's up?" Yuwen Shu said.

Yu Wenhua hesitated. "Dad, I thought about it for a long time. Xiao Buyi is very strange. If he is really a secret, we can't afford to offend him. You are old and you can't have any problems, otherwise we can..."

"The beast that is useless!" Yu Wen Shu was furious, overturned the table, threw the teacup, and raised his beard with anger, "I thought you really care about your body, so I was still thinking about it for myself. At this point today, what else can I say? Could Shi Ji be injured by him in vain? This is a lifelong thing! Even if Xiao Buyi is the secret of heaven, Zhang Xutuo is the number one master of the Sui Dynasty, even if the dead ghost Li Xuanba is unable to defeat him. Now he has carefully calculated and set up a net of heaven and earth, how can Xiao Buyi be able to fight? Besides, the emperor has issued an order and Zhang Xutuo takes action. Even if I want to calculate, how can I forget it?!"

"But what if Xiao Buyi doesn't die? Since he is a secret of heaven, how could the Taiping and Earthly Real People let him die easily?" Yu Wenhua and said cryingly: "I'm just afraid that he will escape his life and will revenge us even more wildly!"

"Is Xiao Buyi not dead?" Yu Wen Shu shivered and looked out of the hall in a daze, with suspicion in his eyes, "If he is not dead..."

A thunder fell down, tearing the darkness apart. The trees in the four fields swayed and swung, raindrops fell, and the rocks were rugged, like monsters entrenched. After the lightning, the four fields fell into boundless darkness again.

The heavy rain tightened and finally sootheed a little. Sun Shaofang hid in the grass by the lake, frowned. Xiao Buyi and the boatwoman entered the lake, but there was no movement. He followed Xiao Buyi's instructions and waited. The boatwoman had been turning around for a long time, why didn't Xiao Buyi come back?

He was uneasy and Sun Shaofang could still hold on because he was confident when Xiao Buyi left.

The rapid footsteps sounded, and Sun Shaofang looked back and saw that it was his subordinate Zhang Qing, and said in a voice: "Zhang Qing, what's wrong?"

"Brother Sun, someone broke into our ambush circle and fainted."

"Just kill me, don't let him leak the news, and notify me of what to do!" Sun Shaofang said coldly.

"The man was a woman. He said she was Mengdie in a coma. He recited Brother Xiao's name and said there was an urgent notice." Zhang Qing was embarrassed.

Sun Shaofang frowned, "Who is Mengdie? She was chanting the name of Boss Xiao, Asu, do you know him?" Although he and Xiao Buyi had been around, they remember that the woman around Xiao Buyi was not called Mengdie. She felt awe-inspiring in her heart and thought that this person was a spy. Nowadays, it is best to be careful.

Asu Zhou Muru was beside him, and Zhou Muru said in surprise: "Wait, I know Mengdie. She is a good woman, we know him in Mayi. But Boss Xiao said that she seems to be in Dongdu, so why did she come to Hongze Lake thousands of miles away?"

"Take me to see her." Sun Shaofang made a quick decision, "Asu, stay here to pick up the boss, and I will go and have a look."

When the two followed Zhang Qing to see Mengdie, Zhou Muru couldn't help but hesitate when he saw a man lying in front of him, saying that the man was wearing men's clothes. But he was really a woman. He had only seen Mengdie and was not sure for a moment.

The woman opened her eyes slightly and was extremely weak. When she saw Zhou Muru, her eyes lit up. She suddenly grabbed Zhou Muru's arm and cried, "Muru, take me to see Mr. Xiao, he is in danger. The emperor wants to kill him!"

Everyone was shocked, and Zhou Muru frowned, but he still didn't dare to confirm. The woman's screaming sounded not much, but the emperor wanted to kill Brother Xiao, but Zhou Muru vaguely felt that it was good.

"Are you a dream butterfly?"

"Tianxiangfang, Luozi Dai." The woman finally calmed down and said six words. Others still didn't understand it, but Zhou Muru woke up. It was Mengdie who he met there. Mengdie taught them to see Luozi Dai, "You are really Mengdie!"

Mengdie sighed, "Muru. I followed the emperor to the south of the Yangtze River. I heard a good sister on the boat saying that the emperor said in his dream that he wanted to kill Mr. Xiao, and sent Zhang Xutuo to capture him. I reported to the queen and she asked me to come out to report the news. I arrived here all the way, and I was so lucky that I met you, where is Mr. Xiao?"

Seeing Zhou Muru frowning, Mengdie said anxiously: "Muru. I would rather believe that he has it than not. I should notify Mr. Xiao to prevent it. I am afraid that if it is true, Mr. Xiao will not be able to withstand other people's hidden arrows."

Sun Shaofang frowned, "Boss Xiao went to the lake, but we couldn't find him. We are all waiting here now."

"What should I do? Will Zhang Xutuo go to the lake too?" Mengdie asked anxiously.

Everyone was shocked, and Zhang Qing said, "Why don't we go to the lake to find Boss Xiao?"

Sun Shaofang shook his head, "No, Boss Xiao asked us to wait here. No matter what, he must have his idea!"

"But Boss Xiao is in danger!" Zhou Muru said anxiously: "Shaofang, why don't I go, Boss Xiao won't blame me."

Sun Shaofang sighed and said, "Muru, Boss Xiao said, let you listen to my instructions. If I tell you, I will not go to the lake!"

Zhou Muru clenched his fists and let go for a while, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Shao Fang, what exactly should I do?"
To be continued...
