Li Shimin jumped up to Yang Qian, looked at the wine bag in his hand, pursed his lips in envy, and said with a smile.
"Brother Yang, what my sister means is that you are vomiting too much and you will feel better if you drink some wine."
Yang Qian nodded suddenly, "Well, I can't drink enough, but it's okay to drink a little."
He picked up the wine bag and brought it to his mouth, took a sip and smashed his mouth.
"This wine is good, thank you."
Li Shimin almost peed: "Brother Yang, do you call this drinking?!"
It's a question of whether you can moisturize your lips. Even if you drink Hedinghong like this, you won't die, right?
"What's wrong with my drinking capacity? If you can, show me how to drink?" Yang Qian's face turned dark.
Damn it, don’t think that I don’t dare to attack you because you, the short and fat Luban Li, are in the same team.
Li Shimin smiled confidently and was about to put the wine bag to his mouth.
In the distance, Li Xiuning, who was looking at the body of the man in black, said calmly.
"If you dare to take a sip, I will throw you into the river."
"I didn't drink. I just gave Brother Yang a try."
Li Shimin licked his lips and muttered quietly, but he really didn't dare to take even a sip.
This is a powerful character who can speak and act. Yang Qian feels more and more that he appreciates this female warrior who is consistent in her words and deeds.
While admiring them, I did not forget to pick up two good-quality Huan Shou long knives and hold them in my hands.
What the hell, what's wrong with the knife-throwing skill? If I'm in a hurry, a long sword with a ring head unsheathes and flies over, and I ask you if you're afraid?
Only then did Yang Qian notice that Li Xiuning's body was wrapped in several strips of cloth, all of which were slowly seeping with blood.
There were several tears on her left sleeve, and even the skin with blood stains was exposed.
Fortunately, they were only minor injuries, but even so, her steps were still strong and she was walking at the forefront.
One beats twenty, and his body is covered with bruises, but he doesn't even make a sound.
Such perseverance, endurance, and strong physical strength made Yang Qian so angry that he fell to the ground.
Li Shimin and Yang Qian fell behind and whispered proudly.
"How about it? My sister is great, isn't she? In fact, even if I come to save her myself, she will be fine."
"Haha...should we talk about the glory and wealth we agreed on before?"
Soldier Yang Qian lowered his head and looked at the short and fat shooter Luban Li, his eyes full of intimidation.
Li Shimin: "..."
Seeing Li Shimin's constipated expression, Yang Qian smiled with great joy.
"Okay, I'm just teasing you. After all, what's wrong with you learning at a young age? You have to imitate others to show off.
If you meet a kind-hearted person like me who doesn’t care, if you really meet a true person, for the sake of glory and wealth, I will be in debt to you for the rest of your life."
Li Shimin's face turned dark when he saw Yang Qian, who had a fatherly smile and was extremely cheerful.
Li Xiuning glanced sideways and continued to stride forward.
"Follow up." The hoarse and lazy voice was concise and certain.
Looking at Li Xiuning's vigorous figure, Yang Qian shook his head with admiration on his face.
Under those clothes, there were amazingly long, round and powerful legs, with looming muscle outlines.
They all seem to demonstrate its powerful strength and terrifying explosive power.
Facing the sun, the action of raising his hands to open the low branches is like the vigorous panther stretching his body.
At this moment, Yang Qian felt that the gay gym guys he had seen who relied on hormones to build up their muscles were simply weak and violent.

In the Tang Guogong's residence in Yangzhou, Li Yuan saluted Yang Qian with great solemnity.
"Thank you dear nephew for saving my children. I will definitely remember this kindness in my heart."
Yang Qian quickly returned the gift, still feeling frightened when he thought of the previous scene.
"Uncle, you don't have to be like this. My nephew is just lucky enough to meet you. What's more, Qian is also trying to save himself."
Li Yuan stroked his beard and sat back, with a look of regret on his face. "It's all my fault, I was too careless. I thought this was Yangzhou, where the emperor was visiting.
But I didn’t expect that those retainers and dead men of the He Ruo family still didn’t give up.”
Gao Shilian nodded slightly: "Why did they do this? Mr. Tang, you and those three people had no grudges in the past."
Li Yuan also had a puzzled look on his face.
"I can't understand either. Erlang and Xiuning are both still young and have never had any interaction with the He family."
Seeing Yang Qian's confused look in front of him, Li Yuan slapped his forehead and smiled at Yang Qian sheepishly.
"The good nephew is involved in this matter. It is really my fault, and I won't hide it from you.
These people were the retainers and deceased soldiers of He Ruobi, the Duke of Song Dynasty, who used to be our Great General Youwuhou of the Sui Dynasty, Shangzhu State."
"In the past?..." Yang Qian was completely confused. Could it be that he is not the same now?
Gao Shilian couldn't help but be polite. "It seems that in the past, my nephew really didn't know anything about the world, and he only focused on studying the books of sages behind closed doors."
Li Yuan picked up the tea soup at hand and took a sip. "In the middle of September of the third year of Daye, His Majesty charged him with slandering the government.
General Guanglu, Duke He Ruobi of the Song Dynasty, Taichang Qing, Duke Gao Jiong of Qi, and Yuwenbi, the Minister of Rites, were imprisoned.
On the 29th of that month, His Majesty issued an edict to punish him..."
"Last year, the imperial censor Ling Zhong and Wang Jun's family were wiped out, but the murderer could not be found.
His Majesty was furious. In fact, he speculated at that time that he might be being retaliated against."
"Because at the beginning, it was these two censors who took the lead in impeaching the court. He Ruobi, Gao Jiong, and Yu Wenbi formed a clique for personal gain and slandered the government."
When Li Yuan said this, his face looked a little embarrassed.
"At that time, there were officials who wanted to persuade His Majesty. Your Majesty was furious and wanted to kill him. Fortunately, all the ministers worked hard to remonstrate with him, so he was dismissed from office to serve the people."
"After this, no one dares to say anything to persuade..."
Gao Shilian said with a bitter smile on his face. "Three important officials who founded the Sui Dynasty, when the emperor was angry, they bled thousands of miles..."
#####
At this time, a hurried steward of the Duke of Tang Dynasty came quickly, walked to Li Yuan's side and leaned over to whisper.
Li Yuan's expression suddenly changed, and he waved his hand to signal the steward to leave.
Seeing Li Yuan's uncertain expression, Yang Qian and Gao Shilian both wanted to inquire.
He was also worried that he would be involved in some important court affairs, so he could only wait patiently for Li Yuan to regain his composure.
It took Li Yuan a long time to slowly exhale a long breath.
"Before, I couldn't understand why those thieves attacked Yu Xiuning and Shimin."
"Now I realize that their purpose is actually not them.
It’s an old man who often goes to Yangzijin to shoot wild geese these days.”
Gao Shiqian narrowed his eyes: "Why did the Duke say this?"
Li Yuan laughed coldly and said, "Yu Shiji had just returned to Yangzhou from Jiangdu Palace and was intercepted and shot several times in the countryside.
Fortunately, he was wearing inner armor, so his life was safe, and he had to be protected by his own horsemen and servants, so he escaped back to Yangzhou."
"The Duke of Xu, Yu Wenshu, and the Minister of Internal Affairs, Xiao Yu, were all attacked and killed by bandits.
Although the two adults are safe and sound, many of their followers died..."
"Your Majesty is furious. Jiangdu Palace and Yang Palace have been ordered to search and arrest the surrounding areas with imperial troops. Yangzhou is under curfew and strict investigation will be carried out on unidentified persons."
Yang Qian couldn't help but take a breath, his teeth almost hurt. Damn it, it's only been five years since Daye, right?
Why should we have waited a few more years before the Sui Dynasty rebelled? Why do we now feel like a storm is about to come?
