Just like what Gong Shantie said, Yang Guang was a promising king when he was young, but he was given the temple title of Emperor Yang after his death. To some extent, it also explains that in the middle and later stages of his rule,
Failure in governing the country.
The rise of heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty is inseparable from Yang Guang's tyranny. Chinese farmers are used to being submissive and will only rise up to resist when forced into desperate situations.
Yang Guang, who was so happy about his success, gathered such a huge fleet for just a simple eastward patrol. Needless to say, the manpower and material resources consumed in it were unnecessary.
He brought almost all the civil and military personnel of the dynasty to Daliang City. At this time, he and Yang Guang stayed in the flagship to drink and have fun.
After thinking for a while, Lu Xiao used the disguise technique to change his appearance and attire, transforming into one of the soldiers leaving after his shift.
Deliberately walking unsteadily to the sentry station at the pier, Lu Xiao's arrival immediately aroused the vigilance of the soldiers.
One of the guard captains looked at Lu Xiao in surprise: "Liu Er, didn't you go to the city for entertainment after your shift? Are you back so soon?"
"Hiccup~"
Lu Xiao pretended to burp from wine, grabbed the other man's shoulders with a smile, and used the alchemy technique to create the smell of alcohol and spray it on the captain's face.
"Haha~ There is nothing to do in the city. I just had a drink and came back... burp~"
"Go! Go! Go!"
The captain slapped his face in disgust, and the strong smell of alcohol made him roll his eyes.
"You call this a drink? Go back and have a good rest! Don't delay the next changing of the guard!"
"Hehe~ I didn't ask... hiccup~ question."
Lu Xiao wandered into the fleet, and with the support of one of the young recruits, he walked towards "his" bedroom on the ship.
Throwing Lu Xiao onto the bed, the young recruit quickly returned to duty.
Lu Xiao, who was still dazed before, immediately opened his eyes. There was no trace of drunken confusion in his eyes, and the blush on his face also dissipated.
The soldier Lu Xiao pretended to be was a middle-aged man. Although he was not a high-ranking officer, he was still an old man in the army and his status was neither high nor low.
The real Liu Er was knocked unconscious and tied up by Lu Xiao a long time ago. He should still be locked up in the cellar of the restaurant and cannot be discovered for at least 12 hours.
With Liu Er's identity as a cover, Lu Xiao could basically get on the dragon boat unimpeded. Except for some highly guarded areas that were inaccessible, he had a rough idea of the structure of the dragon boat fleet.
These dragon boats are all connected by iron cables, and wooden boards are laid between the boats. Only a slight shaking will be felt on the stably connected fleet, which eliminates seasickness to the greatest extent.
However, this structure made Lu Xiao immediately think of the Battle of Red Cliff. If someone set a fire in the fleet, it would be almost impossible for the connected ships to be completely decoupled in a short period of time.
Lu Xiao's spell abilities were restricted, but the universal technique of breath blocking would not be affected.
After roughly figuring out the structure of the fleet, Lu Xiao left Liu Er's identity behind and officially started taking action.
If the Shennong Ding had been transported to Daliang, it could only have been stored on the flagship where Yang Guang and his ministers lived.
The flagship's defense was very tight, and Liu Er's status in the army was not enough to allow him to enter the flagship's activities. Lu Xiao turned on the aura blocker and slipped through the defense line without anyone noticing.
"Um?"
As soon as he entered the area where the flagship was located, Lu Xiao immediately felt something strange.
There is an inexplicable sense of repulsion in the surrounding air. It must be that a certain expert has set up a formation on the flagship where Yang Guang is stationed.
Before the aura barrier was broken, Lu Xiao hid in the shadow of one of the blind corners of the dragon boat as quickly as possible.
‘Hoo~’
Lu Xiao breathed a silent sigh of relief and tapped his forehead with his finger.
"Yu Wentuo, the Grand Master of the Sui Dynasty, indeed had two brushes."
…
Almost at the same time that Lu Xiao invaded the barrier, in the main hall of the dragon boat, a young man who had his eyes slightly closed suddenly opened his eyes.
This young man has a handsome appearance, a heroic and majestic temperament, his heterochromatic pupils are very conspicuous, and his unusual bronze hair color is also very different from his colleagues around him.
Glancing at Yang Guang, who was drinking and having fun with the ministers, the young man stepped forward calmly, folded his hands and respectfully told Yang Guang.
"Your Majesty, I still have important matters to attend to. Please allow me to retire first."
Yang Guang is a middle-aged man with a wine-red face. He has a good physique, but it can be seen that his physical condition is not good after years of drinking and sex.
Using modern medical terminology to describe his condition, he is called a sub-healthy state, and he may get sick at any time.
Yang Guang didn't pay attention to the young man's leave of absence, and waved his hand with a smile: "Go, Yuwen Aiqing, but don't let the heavy official work overwhelm your body, learn to relax properly."
The young man with the strange-colored demonic eyes was none other than Yuwen Tuo, the Grand Master of the dynasty. He responded with a smile without changing his face: "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now."
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the court was almost full of flatterers. The ministers were very afraid of the upright Grand Master Yuwen and could not let go of his presence.
Yuwen Tuo's departure played into the hands of Yang Guang and the ministers, and they could finally play some more exciting games.
After leaving the main hall with a faint smile, Yuwen Tuo's face immediately darkened.
Four strong men in casual clothes saw Yuwen Tuo leaving the main hall and hurriedly greeted him.
"Grand Master, the formation you set up yourself has an abnormal reaction!"
"I know."
Yuwen Tuo took off his ceremonial coat, which was inconvenient for movement, and one of the strong men respectfully held a sheathed golden sword in front of Yuwen Tuo.
Taking the sword with one hand, Yuwen Tuo ordered calmly: "Han Teng, you and Shangguan Zhenyuan stay to guard His Majesty, and you cannot let intruders disturb His Majesty's elegance."
"yes!"
"Yang Shuo, Hu Lu'an, you try to patrol and search the flagship without leaving any trace, and be careful not to cause a disturbance."
A cold light flashed in Yuwen Tuo's eyes: "It is not easy for an intruder to bypass the defense of the outer dragon boat and enter the flagship. You must be careful. Once I find traces of the enemy, I will rush over to support you immediately."
"yes!"
The four generals began to take action one after another. Yuwen Tuo raised his head and looked at the sun hanging in the sky.
'The first Tengu eclipse is over, and there are only more than 4 months left before the most important second one. We must seize the time.'
Yuwen Tuo is the reincarnation of Kunlun Mirror. Through his own awakening ability, he gained insight into the relevant information about the Red Pass Demon Star and the Sky Trace at the beginning of this year.
As the mainstay of the Sui Dynasty, Yuwen Tuo helped Yang Guang wipe out a large number of enemies who had rebelled over the years. However, he always adhered to the bottom line in his heart, followed the justice in his heart, and completed the important task entrusted to him by Yang Su - to protect the Sui Dynasty.
.
In the eyes of the important ministers in the court, Grand Master Yuwen was rigid and did not know how to adapt. Therefore, Yuwen Tuo was rejected by the ministers in the court, but Yang Guang always trusted him.
In order to repair the scars in the sky that will inevitably be torn apart by Chi Kuan Star in the future, the ten artifacts scattered around must be collected in advance.
The Void Formation is composed of bells, swords, axes, kettles and towers. It breaks through the sky and enters the interior of the Chiguan Star. Then, the Nuwa Stone is used as the center of the formation. The Qin, Cauldron and Seal Mirror Stones are gathered together to form the Lost Formation, repairing the sky and China torn apart by the Chiguan Star.
Form a barrier to prevent foreign demons from taking the opportunity to invade the land of China.
As the Grand Master of the Sui Dynasty who had all the power in the world, Yuwen Tuo had very great power. The operation to call the whole country to search for clues about the artifact went smoothly, and soon he got clues about several artifacts one after another.
But there has never been any news about the Donghuang Bell, which is the first of the top ten artifacts.
Without the Donghuang Bell, it is impossible to form a void formation and enter Chiguan Star. Once invaded by the Western Demons, the land of China will inevitably be devastated.
Just when Yuwen Tuo was worried, an unexpected relative of the emperor suddenly appeared and told him an alternative plan.
The method proposed by this person deviated from Yuwen Tuo's long-standing code of conduct, and was likely to ruin his reputation among the government and the public, and even damage the foundation of the Sui Dynasty.
But if the demons from the west are allowed to invade, the land of China will suffer even more misery.
The two powers harm each other, whichever is less. After a painful decision, Yuwen Tuo finally made up his mind to adopt the alternative plan proposed by this person.
'Time waits for no one, I, Yuwentuo, should bear all the blame.'
