The fifty-one man knelt in front of him and spoke in an almost pious tone.
Yang Xuan only felt huge waves coming towards him.
Qiu Longwei!
Qiu without horns!
The dragon has horns!
A horned dragon is a young dragon.
Hornless baby dragon!
This is the nickname of the prince.
Qiu Longwei...
The prince's guard.
Look at these big men, they are so strong that even the monks cannot compete with them. When they appear next to the prince, how many people in the world can break through their defenses?
…
Tu Shang's body shook.
The old thief asked: "What did you think of?"
Tu Shang said: "Since I arrived in the Tang Dynasty, I have been observing. Lang Jun is both civil and military, which is a good thing. But I have been by Lang Jun's side for a long time, and I have a vague feeling that Lang Jun is not a creature in the pool."
"Isn't it good that things that are not in the pool are bad?"
"Okay." Tu Shang sighed: "But what is Lang Jun trying to do to win over the people and the army in Chenzhou?"
"The same is true for Mr. Liu."
"I don't know what Liu Shijun is like, but I have been by your side for a long time, but I feel something...indescribable, like something underground that keeps trying to emerge."
"What?"
"Grain seedlings! Yes, heifer seedlings, I have always felt that Lang Jun is like a grain seedling, struggling underground. As long as he accumulates enough strength and waits for spring to come, he will burst out of the ground."
"Tsk!" The old thief felt that he had underestimated Tu Chang.
"What is a horned dragon? A hornless dragon." Tu Chang smiled bitterly and said, "When I heard this name, I completely understood. It turns out that everything Lang Jun did in the past was all a plan."
"That's right." The old thief stroked his beard, and a sense of superiority as a veteran emerged spontaneously.
"These big men can easily defeat the monks with only their physical body. Who in the world can have such a bodyguard? You don't need to think carefully to understand...this is the bodyguard of a noble person."
The old thief nodded, "Yes! An indescribably noble person."
"Is Mr. Lang the heir of that noble man?"
"You have to ask Mr. Lang about this."
"Haha! That noble man left such a tyrannical guard for Lang Jun...and Yi Niang. I always feel that Yi Niang does not look like a woman from an ordinary family. If she wants to be more serious, those noble ladies in Chenzhou No one can match her temperament. Such a woman is willing to be the husband's female steward..."
"So, what do you think?" the old thief asked pretending to be casual.
As for the second child... Tu Shang searched for it and found that Wang Laoer was squatting next to a corpse, curiously kneading the corpse's body and eating dried meat.
"The monk's meat is like this too!" Wang Laoer was a little disappointed.
"What can I think?" Tu Shang smiled.
"That day, when I returned home, I saw pedestrians on the road who looked nervous or excited, and they all ran to that street. I was still thinking that something big had happened.
At that time, I still liked to watch the excitement, so I followed the crowd and saw only the light of the fire reaching into the sky.
The officials and soldiers gathered around the street. Seeing that my house was in flames, I knelt down and begged them to let me in.
The officials didn't look at me seriously, and the soldiers drove me away.
I want to kill someone.
There was a loud bang, and I saw that my home had collapsed!
It turns out that what I saw was the excitement in my own home.
The thieves began to break through, and most of them were killed by bows and arrows, while the rest were stabbed to death with spears.
Those officials smiled brightly and spoke softly. I have a good ear and listened to what they said...reward for merit.
achievement!
hehe!
They released the blockade, and I and the surviving neighbors walked in.
Along the way, my feet are soft and a child can easily push me down.
The old man brought basin after basin of water, and more people came.
The fire is out.
The old man refused help from others and rummaged through the ruins alone.
I'm looking for you...
They all curled up into a small ball.
That is my wife.
My son and daughter-in-law.
My grandson and granddaughter.
When I went out in the morning, they also told me to come back early.
The old man is back, but they can no longer speak.
I went to seek justice and was beaten severely by the officials.
Justice is not as good as their official title.
Justice is not as good as the credit they lied about.
I have lived half my life and have always followed the rules. Even though I have the marksmanship and military skills inherited from my ancestors, I still live silently.
At that moment, I forgot the rules taught by my ancestors, killed the official, and took his head to pay homage to his family members."
Tu Shang smiled, "You want to ask... Lang Jun's enemy must be the gray emperor in the palace. Do you dare me to follow Lang Jun, right?"
The old thief nodded.
Tu Shang said: "From the moment I waved my sword at that official, the emperors and generals, the majesty of the dynasty, and the rise and fall of the world have nothing to do with me. Do you know what I want to do most?"
He asked himself and answered: "What I want to do most is to overthrow these bullshit emperors who eat the flesh and blood of the people but don't take the people seriously, and turn them into ants under the feet of the people!"
Tu Shang asked: "Does Mr. Lang want to rebel?"
"No, it's a rebellion!"
"That's right, I'm asking for rebellion. Then, if the prince wants to attack the city, I will help him build a ladder. If the prince wants to kill the emperor, I will hand him the knife...
I can’t wait any longer!”
…
"stand up."
Yang Xuan helped Lin Feibao up.
"I have some impressions of you." Yang Xuan remembered, "The blacksmith from Anrenfang!"
"yes."
Lin Feibao said: "I still remember my husband."
"No need to call yourself a villain."
Lin Feibao thought for a while, "Yes. I also remember Lang Jun."
"This is fate."
"No, Langjun's eyes are as long as His Majesty's."
"Really?" Yang Xuan touched the corners of his eyes, thinking that Yang Lue never said anything about this.
Maybe it’s because I’ve seen it too much!
"Is this how you've been waiting for all these years?"
"yes."
Being able to stay dormant in Chang'an City for more than ten years, such loyalty!
Yang Xuan said sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work."
"The moment I saw Mr. Lang, all my hard work was worth it."
"How did you escape back then?"
"Your Majesty had already noticed it and found dozens of people to take his place. Those people thought they had burned the Horned Dragon Guard to death, but little did they know that we had already sneaked into the city."
Dozens of people did this and became scapegoats.
Yang Xuan was a little uneasy, but it gradually dissipated.
He didn't realize that if he had heard such things when he first arrived in Chang'an, he would have been angry, guilty, and even painful.
But now he is just a little uneasy.
"He...why doesn't he leave?"
This is a question Yang Xuan has always wanted to ask.
Even if you can't run away, you still have to try, right?
There was more respect in Lin Feibao's eyes, "We have advised him, and His Majesty said that if Gu Ruo escapes from afar, there is a chance. But what happens after he escapes from afar?"
Raise an army?
During the reign of Emperor Xuande, the Tang Dynasty's national power was at its peak. When the prince raised an army, who was willing to follow him?
Seclusion?
For this class of people, seclusion is worse than killing themselves with a glass of poisonous wine.
"So, how much do you know about what happened back then?"
"We don't know much."
Yang Xuan suddenly laughed, "When you know it, Cao Ying should also know it, right?"
Lin Feibao is silent. Gu Ya
Putting this topic aside, Yang Xuan felt relaxed all over, and a feeling of a rising red sun made him more energetic.
"After today, just follow me!"
"Yes." Lin Feibao said respectfully, and those big men couldn't help but be happy.
"Have you ever shown your cultivation in the past?"
If Lin Feibao and others had shown their cultivation, even in Northern Xinjiang, they would have had no choice but to change their approach.
"When we were in the East Palace, we used knives, but His Majesty was not in danger at that time, so we didn't show up much in the East Palace."
"Then, who knows your strength?"
The strength of the Qiu Long Guard made Yang Xuan a little jealous. If he couldn't use it, he would be sitting on a treasure mountain but couldn't take it. How uncomfortable!
"Emperor Xuande."
"oh!"
"Back then, we had a private fight with Emperor Xuande's guards."
"how?"
"No matter who wins or loses."
Tsk!
"Emperor Xuande is joking, the horned dragon guards can destroy the palace."
Are you joking?
But how come I see you looking so confident?
Yang Xuan asked: "Does the pseudo-emperor and his son know?"
"Should know something."
"Tsk! Do they know how you're going to do it?"
"No. I only fought with Emperor Xuande's guards while we were waiting in the palace."
"Where are Emperor Xuande's guards?"
"They are all dead. After Emperor Wu ascended the throne, he killed them all."
grass!
Yang Xuan couldn't help but feel his scalp numb when he thought of that couple, his grandfather and grandmother.
"In other words, when you go out now, you don't know many people?"
"No one knows them." Lin Feibao explained: "Times have changed, and the old people in those days went and were killed. Li Yuan and his son cleaned up too thoroughly."
During the reign of Queen Wu, Li Yuan and his son entered the palace and killed everyone around Emperor Xuande and Emperor Wu.
The second time, Li Mi led his men into the palace and killed a group of old people again.
By the time he ascended the throne, the average age in the palace had dropped significantly.
"How's business at the blacksmith shop?"
Yang Xuan just asked casually.
"fine."
"Take it."
"yes."
"After collecting them, most of the people immediately rushed to Northern Xinjiang. By the way, do Cao Ying and Yiniang recognize you?"
"I recognize him, but I'm afraid there's something a little inappropriate when we meet him."
"Do you think the dead are coming back to life?"
"yes."
"That's it! You take some people to follow me, and the others go to Chenzhou."
"yes."
…
After having an argument with Yang Songcheng and Weng's son-in-law teaming up to give him a slap, Zhou Zun was in a good mood.
"Keep an eye on the Yang family and be careful of what they do to Zitai."
It was impossible for Yang Songcheng to attack Zhou Zun, as that would trigger a war between the two sides.
"yes."
Even though they are in a group, they are all wary of each other and have collected a lot of information about their allies.
For example, the relationship between Yang and Fang Wai.
"Mr. Lang, my uncle has gone outside the city."
"Why is he going out of the city at this time?" Zhou Zun was angry, "He didn't know how ruthless Yang Songcheng was, so he chased him back."
Not long after, the news came again.
"Some people saw two men with very good walking distance. They looked like immortal men following my uncle out of the city."
"Have you checked?"
"Not found."
The Zhou family does not have a huge organization like Mirror, so it is impossible to find out this kind of information.
"Go and call him back quickly!"
Zhou's men rushed out of Chang'an City.
"Alang, the Zhou family's people are out of the city and they are very anxious."
Yang Songcheng nodded, "Tell them to prepare wine and food. After I go to the Yamen in the afternoon, I will invite Zhou Zun to drink."
"But his daughter has become a widow." The old servant felt that this matter might be difficult to solve.
Yang Songcheng smiled and said: "A son-in-law is just a marriage tool for our family, so what if we change it? As for the widow, who among the women from our family would, and who would dare to despise it? The big deal is, Yang will choose one."
The boy who gets it marries his daughter."
The old servant smiled and said: "That Zhou Ning is beautiful and has a very good temperament. Many men are attracted by her. If they find out that she is a widow, I guess there will still be many people who are attracted to her."
"So, isn't that enough?" Yang Songcheng smiled happily, "The friendship between men and women is just a fleeting friendship."
…
Zhou Zun was a little restless.
He knew that Yang Songcheng was ruthless, but thinking that he was his son-in-law, Yang Songcheng had to worry about the consequences of his falling out.
But when he thought about it carefully, he realized that he was wrong.
The son-in-law is just a tool to them. Will Yang Songcheng feel that even if he kills Yang Xuan, he still dares not fall out, and will not fall out?
"Old dog!"
Zhou Zun looked gloomy.
"Mr. Lang!"
"Come in!"
The servant came in and said happily: "My uncle is back."
Zhou Zun breathed a sigh of relief, "That old dog still knows what's appropriate."
"Shilang Zhou."
An old servant came over from Yang Songcheng.
"Alang would like to invite Mr. Zhou to go down to the office and have a drink together."
"Easy to say!" Zhou Zun felt that Yang Songcheng was quite amiable at this moment.
The servant glanced at the old servant, something was wrong in his eyes.
"My uncle said that he was set up to go out of the city today."
Zhou Zun's expression changed slightly and he stared at the old servant.
"After leaving the city, I encountered two monks who were chasing me. Fortunately, I met a passerby who acted bravely and killed the two monks."
Zhou Zun stared at the old servant and asked word by word: "Where does that monk... come from?"
"Extension of Life Palace."
"Yanshou Palace." Zhou Zun gritted his teeth and said, "I remember the Yang family's long-term friendship with Yanshou Palace, is that correct?"
The old servant felt cold in his heart, thinking that if the two monks took action, it should be easy to catch them, but unexpectedly they encountered some passerby who acted bravely.
Can a passerby kill two powerful monks?
Who took action?
Mr. Zhou!
If it were the Zhou family, Zhou Zun would not be so angry at this moment, but would be aggressive.
So who?
emperor?
The old servant is Yang Songcheng's confidant and knows many things.
Only the emperor has such motivation and ability... to prevent the Yang family from assassinating Yang Xuan, triggering conflicts between the Zhou family and the Yang family, and internally disintegrating the alliance between the four surnames of the family.
This is what the emperor has always wanted to do.
And today is an opportunity!
Although Alang's plan was good, he forgot that the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits.
The old servant smiled and said: "This must be a misunderstanding. Could it be that you admitted the wrong person?"
The servant said: "My uncle tortured him with his own hands and extracted the confession. The corpses of those two people are on the way into the city at the moment."
The old servant laughed dryly, "It must be a misunderstanding. I'm going to report it to Alang now. By the way, Minister Zhou, I'm going to attend the banquet at the Yamen Empress..."
Zhou Zun clenched his fists tightly and slowly released them.
The old servant felt something was wrong and quickly said: "Zhou and Yang have been friends for many years. If there is any misunderstanding, Alang will naturally explain it to Zhou Shilang in person later..."
