There was a thunder in the afternoon and heavy rain poured down.
This is a Laojun temple outside Cijian Town. It stands on the mountainside. Due to disrepair, it looks extremely shaky in the wind and rain.
At this moment, there was no one in the temple, except for the mottled statue of Laojun looking quietly ahead.
"Quick! Quick!"
Suddenly, there was a loud clang, and several men in helmets and armor rushed out of the dense rain curtain with their horses, and ran headlong into Laojun Temple.
"Damn it, this damn rain will come down whenever you say it will."
"That's right, I was soaked to death."
After regaining their breath for a while, the few people who were soaked to the skin and in an extremely embarrassed state began to curse angrily.
"Don't be so impatient. Pull the horse aside and don't interfere with His Highness the King of Qin." At this time, a black-armored general with a charred face and a giant bear's strength buzzed.
Holding a spear as big as eight feet in his hand, he is as powerful as a god!
"Yes, General Yuchi." Several soldiers quickly silenced their voices and obediently led their horses to the side compartment.
At this time, the black-armored general turned his attention to the temple door.
There, standing a heroic young man with golden armor and extraordinary vision, he still looks like a dragon or a phoenix even though his armor is soaked through.
"Your Highness, are you okay?" The black-armored general stepped forward and asked respectfully.
"It's okay, just a little rain." The young man in golden armor smiled faintly, wiped the rain from his face, and looked into the distance.
In the pouring rain, the green mountains are looming, charming and picturesque!
"Jing De." Suddenly, the young man in golden armor called out.
"Your Highness." The black-armored general bowed slightly.
"Look," the young man in golden armor pointed to the distance, with high spirits: "This country is like a picturesque place. There are so many heroes at one time, but in the end, I don't know who will win!"
The black-armored general grinned and said: "Your Highness, I don't care about anything else. Anyway, I am determined to follow you for the rest of my life."
Such rough stuff!
The young man in golden armor laughed: "You, you are simple-minded. So tell me, can we win against Wang Shichong this time?"
The black-armored general said without hesitation: "Your Highness, with your ability, beat that old dog and win for sure!"
The young man in Jinjia was not so optimistic: "Wang Shichong alone is really nothing to worry about. The only one who worries is Dou Jiande!"
Wang and Dou are both powerful men in the world. Once they join forces, it will be difficult to fight!
"Afraid of a bird!" The black-armored general showed no fear on his face: "If Dou Jiande dares to come, I am willing to kill him together for His Highness."
The young man in golden armor was speechless, wondering where this rough guy got his confidence.
The black-armored general was very excited: "After we win this battle, I will write a letter asking you to make your highness the crown prince. Before going to the battle, didn't your majesty say that if we can draw Wang Shichong in this battle, your highness will be the crown prince!"
"Shut up!" The young man in golden armor changed his expression and said sternly: "Stop talking nonsense."
The black-armored general shut his mouth in grievance. He had no fear of anything in his life, but he was convinced of His Highness and did not dare to disobey.
The young man in golden armor sighed in his heart: Becoming a prince? How can it be so easy! The eldest brother is the eldest son.
"Cough, cough!" At this moment, someone behind the Laojun statue suddenly coughed.
"Who!?" The black-armored general was very alert. He immediately turned around, pointed the big tree in his hand at the statue of Lao Jun, and shouted loudly.
Several soldiers on the side also immediately took action, watching with eager eyes.
When I first entered the temple, there was no one there at first glance, so a few people were careless. I never expected that there was someone hiding behind the statue of Laojun.
Could it be Zheng Jun's spies? Thinking that this place was close to Zheng Jun's camp, several people unconsciously clenched their swords with murderous looks on their faces.
"Don't be nervous. Don't be nervous. We are on our own." A person hurriedly came out from behind the mountain god statue.
This man is young, handsome, not tall, a little thin, has a flattering smile on his face, and is unarmed. At first glance, he does not pose a threat.
However, its costume is very weird:
He has a bald head without a bun (short hair), shorts and shorts that expose his arms and legs (sportswear), and a pair of weird black and white shoes (Hongxing Erke).
His name is Xia Yu, 22 years old, a history student at Peking University.
Because he was about to graduate, he chose the topic of Li Shimin's expedition to Luoyang and capturing the two kings in one battle as his graduation thesis.
In order to write a good thesis, he rushed to Cijian Town, Luoyang City for on-the-spot investigation.
It was here that the first battle of Li Shimin's Eastern Expedition broke out.
However, as soon as he started walking, the weather changed and a downpour came, scaring him so much that he quickly found a place to take shelter.
Who would have thought that as soon as he reached the gate of Laojun Temple, a bolt of lightning struck him from the sky.
When he was dazed and about to wake up, he heard people coming from the temple and a conversation that frightened him and made him inexplicable——
King Qin!
General Yuchi!
Wang Shichong!
Dou Jiande!
Listening to this series of familiar names, Xia Yu was caught off guard and woke up with a violent cough.
"Monk?" The young man in golden armor looked at Xia Yu and spoke in surprise.
"..." Xia Yu rolled her eyes: What a look, you are the monk, your whole family is a monk!
He had forgotten that the ancients believed that 'the body's hair and skin are influenced by its parents'. His short hair was indeed easily misunderstood.
"No. Are you His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty and General Yuchi Gong?"
"Exactly." The young man in gold armor and the general in black armor looked at each other and nodded.
Sure enough, it was Li Shimin and Yuchi Gong, I really traveled through time! I also happened to travel back to the starting point of Li Shimin’s Eastern Expedition!
After her suspicion was confirmed, Xia Yu couldn't help but feel confused and in a daze.
This is normal. Who can take on such a strange thing as traveling through the ages and not be confused!?
Seeing the dull look on the face of the weirdo opposite, Li Shimin frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered the conversation between just now and Yu Chigong, but it was not suitable to be shared.
Thinking of this, his face turned cold and he said calmly: "Kill."
"No." Yuchi Gong didn't even hesitate. He immediately understood Li Shimin's intention. He twisted the big stick in his hand and was ready to take action.
As for whether Xia Yu was wronged or not, they were not interested at all.
If a person is not ruthless, he cannot stand firm. In this troubled world, there is no one who dies unjustly!
"Wait a minute! Does the King of Qin want to kill the wise men?"
"Please wait a moment." When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes lit up and he quickly stopped Yuchi Gong.
Xia Yu let out a long sigh of relief when she almost peed when she saw the sharp giant that was standing still.
If you want to dig this up, you will definitely need two more transparent holes!
Fortunately, he studied history and knew that Li Shimin had a kind of natural obsessive-compulsive disorder, that is, he was thirsty for talents. In the advanced stage, there is no way to save him!
Otherwise, it would be too miserable for him to have his curtain call as soon as he appears.
"Are you considered a wise man?" Li Shimin looked at Xia Yu suspiciously, feeling that there was a big gap between this guy and the master in his impression.
Xia Yu thought wildly in her mind. After all, she was a talented student at Peking University, so she made up a lie in an instant.
In college, he had acted in dramas and learned debates, and he calmly started to perform: "Your Highness, have you ever heard of Guigu?"
"Of course, Mr. Guigu is a scholar of heaven and man, and he has been seeking saints through the ages. His disciples, Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Pang Juan, Sun Bin, etc., are also heroes of the moment!"
After all, Li Shimin was a hero of his generation. He just opened his mouth to speak. Suddenly his heart moved and he lost his voice: "Who are you, sir?"
Xia Yu straightened her clothes and bowed solemnly: "Xia Yu, a disciple of Guigu, has met His Highness King Qin."
How can it be!?
Li Shimin and Yu Chigong were both shocked, their faces full of disbelief.
Because starting from the end of Qin Dynasty, the Guigu sect, which was extremely shocked, disappeared and has not been seen for hundreds of years.
Where did the so-called Guigu disciple in front of me come from?
"Your Highness, be careful of liars." At this time, Yuchi Gong reminded him coldly. Although he was irritable and reckless, he was not a fool.
Li Shimin nodded in understanding and stared at Xia Yu: "What proof do you have?"
Seeing Comrade Li Er's doubtful face, Xia Yu didn't panic.
The majestic emperor of the ages is naturally not that easy to fool, but he has a golden finger and is not afraid of being able to defeat you!
Therefore, Xia Yu said with a master's manner: "I am a master of Guigu, and I am good at everything, including astrological divination. I predict that Your Highness will be in great trouble today, and you will encounter Shan Xiongxin, the general of the Zheng army. However, in the end, there will be a disaster."
No danger, escape safely."
"Whether it's accurate or not, Your Highness will have a try."
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment. He personally investigated the enemy's situation before the war, but this was his old habit.
Could it be that we are really in danger this time?
King Xiao Qin's mind suddenly changed, and he suddenly smiled and motioned to the left and right: "Why don't you put away your weapons quickly? How can you be rude to the wise men!"
Yu Chigong and others looked at each other and knew that Li Shimin was ill again, so they had no choice but to respectfully accept the order.
Li Shimin stepped forward quickly and took Xia Yu's hand with great enthusiasm: "Shimin is very lucky to meet you today. Please come back to camp with Shimin and ask for your advice."
The implication is: If your words are accurate, you will be treated like a distinguished guest. If you are not accurate, you will have to think about the consequences yourself!
Xia Yu is also a bachelor: "I have heard about His Highness's virtuous name for a long time, and I was about to go and serve, but I didn't expect to meet here. Isn't it God's will!?"
Times were lucky, and now, he couldn't even think about hugging Li Shimin's thigh.
It just so happened that this thigh was quite thick. Xia Yu decided that when the heroes of troubled times took advantage of the wind, he would take advantage of Li Shimin's golden thigh.
Besides, the world is in trouble right now, people are in dire straits, and if he doesn’t find a good job, he will go hungry for nine meals in three days.
At that moment, the two movie stars looked at each other and smiled, feeling quite sympathetic to each other, but each secretly cursed the other: Shameless!
