Creed of the heavens

Lu Xiao's expression changed, Zhang Lie's words gave him some clues.

Shanxi, Li Chunfeng, the two teenagers?

Zhang Lie continued: "Brother Yu accidentally met a young man who was not yet weak when he was doing activities in Taiyuan."

"He is Li Shimin, the second son of Tang Guogong Li Yuan. He is only 18 years old and knows all about the affairs of the world. My brother went to Tang Guogong's mansion as a guest at his invitation. I met Li Chunfeng at that time."

really

Lu Xiao's face remained calm, but her heart immediately understood.

Zhang Lie, who has worked hard all his life, has achieved everything he has today through his hard work. Meeting Li Shimin made him understand that there are really talented people in this world.

Zhang Lie considers himself a hero, and he has his own unique views on both marching and fighting and governing the people.

But after a long talk with Li Shimin, Zhang Lie felt frustrated for the first time in front of a rising star who was far younger than him.

This is not the end, Li Shimin is not the only unicorn under Li Yuan's knees.

Li Yuan's eldest son, Li Jiancheng, was no different. He was not as accomplished as his second brother Li Shimin in military affairs, but he had a better understanding of internal affairs and people's livelihood.

Li Chunfeng saw the signs of the decline of the Sui Dynasty by virtue of the technique of hopefulness, and stood in line ahead of time and chose the most promising power in the world, Tang Guogong Li Yuan.

Zhang Lie said with a wry smile: "The communication with the two brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin made Brother Yu understand his own limit."

"According to what Li Chunfeng said, I also have the aura of a real dragon that can fight for the right to belong to the world in troubled times, but it pales in comparison to the two unicorns of the Li family."

Lu Xiao asked curiously: "So, Brother Zhang plans to withdraw voluntarily?"

Zhang Lie shook his head: "I haven't made up my mind yet, who can say clearly about the future."

Seeing that Zhang Lie didn't want to talk about this issue anymore, Lu Xiao changed the subject with interest: "Brother Zhang, let me answer your previous question first."

"I don't know how to hope, but anyone with eyesight can see the decline of the Sui Dynasty. This is an irreversible trend of the times."

When Yang Guang was young, he really wanted to make great achievements. He dredged the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal based on the many canals built by his predecessors, completely connecting the north and south waterways, leaving an important legacy for the development of river transportation in later generations.

However, in order to demonstrate his achievements, the high-spirited Yang Guang launched many wars one after another.

The fruitlessness of the three expeditions to Goguryeo was the biggest turning point before and after his administration. The rich national power accumulated by Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty was gradually wiped out in his hands.

Although the foundation of the Sui Dynasty is still there, the intensified peasant uprising has become difficult to control, and the signs of troubled times are evident.

"Secondly, the appearance of two Qilin children in the same family is not necessarily a good thing."

Lu Xiao said meaningfully: "If Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin can work together, they should be able to assist Li Yuan to build an extremely powerful new dynasty based on the foundation laid by the Sui Dynasty."

"But as the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and when two tigers fight, there will be one injury. Once there is a rift between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin because of the inheritance rights"

Although Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty had outstanding attainments in both martial arts and the rule of Zhenguan was famous through the ages, he ultimately came to power by killing his brother in an improper way.

His approach left a wrong signal to his children, thinking that the throne can be obtained through competition.

Li Shimin's eldest son, Li Chengqian, and his fourth son, Li Tai, have been fighting for the throne for a long time, involving many princes.

In the end, they had a quarrel that hurt both sides, and no one benefited.

After both Li Chengqian and Li Tai were exiled, Li Zhi, the ninth son who had been keeping a low profile, took advantage of the future Tang Gaozong.

Zhang Lie's eyes flashed, Lu Xiao didn't make it clear, but he had already expressed his meaning intuitively.

"Are two tigers fighting each other?"

Shaking his head, Zhang Lie temporarily put aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind: "The business is important, Brother Yu's private affairs will be discussed after the repair of the Scar of the Sky is completed."

Lu Xiao also agreed: "That's right, it's almost time for us to set off for Luoyang. I hope Yutuo can deal with his ordinary affairs as soon as possible. Time waits for no one."

Chapter 414 Gathering in Babel Tower

With the death of Dugu Ning Ke, Lu Xiao and the others no longer felt the gaze of surveillance when they went out, and could move relatively freely in Daxing City.

When returning to the top floor of Youfenglaiyi Inn, Lu Xiao lifted the hypnosis imposed on all the employees of the inn with the Fuxiqin, and erased the memories related to her group in the minds of these people.

From Daxing to Luoyang, the eastern capital, you only need to take a boat down the river. Lu Xiao and others did not relax their vigilance during the boat ride.

Every time Yongzhen went to a stop, he would ask the passing merchants about Yuchi Yanhong's information, but unfortunately he never got any clues about her.

Dugu Ning Ke's soul was seriously injured, and immediately fell into a deep sleep after being included in the Fuxiqin, repairing the severe damage to her soul by herself.

In order to avoid irreversible damage to Dugu Ning Ke's soul due to forced awakening, Lu Xiao could only temporarily let her spend the most dangerous recovery period in Fuxiqin.

There was no way of knowing what order Dugu Ning Ke had given Yuchi Yanhong, so everyone could only keep on guard at all times.

After arriving in Luoyang, everyone didn't stay in the city for a long time. After inquiring about the situation roughly, they continued to head south to Tongtian Tower.

Zhang Lie received information from Daxing from Li Jing in Luoyang City.

Just as Lu Xiao predicted, Yang Guang failed to persuade the stubborn Yutuo in the end, and reluctantly agreed to his resignation request.

Without the upright and courageous Taishi Yu, Yang Guang was also relieved while regretting.

From now on, no one dared to reprimand him face to face for indulging in pleasure and neglecting his job.

The shock caused by Yu Tuo's departure to the court of the Sui Dynasty cannot be subsided in a short time. All forces are busy competing for the power vacuum left by Yu Taishi.

Among the four tiger generals of the former Grand Master's Mansion, Yang Shuo, as a clan general, could not simply let go.

The old general Han Teng took the opportunity of Yutuo's resignation to resign and return to his hometown, and Shangguan Zhenyuan was transferred to the north to guard against the Turks.

Hu Lu'an, who is most loyal to Yu Tuo, intends to resign from all military posts and embark on a new journey with Yu Tuo, who has no official and a light body, but is finally persuaded by Yu Tuo to entrust him with other tasks.

When Lu Xiao and the others arrived at the gate of Tongtian Tower, the giant spiral tower soaring into the sky had just been completed, and the guards were all Yu Tuo's original direct subordinates.

However, the state of these elite Sui soldiers was obviously a little bit wrong at this time. Their eyes were red, and civilian husbands who fell to the ground and died could be seen everywhere inside and outside the tower. Judging from the situation at the scene, it seemed that they were attacked by these defenders.

"Ah!"

The defenders of Tongtian Tower have completely lost their minds. Once someone enters within sight, they will be the first to attack with ghost screams.

"clang!"

Lu Xiao raised his arm armor to block the sword that one of the soldiers slashed, and his blocking left hand sank slightly.

"Ok?"

The strength of these soldiers is very abnormal, as if their potential has been inspired by others, beyond the limit of their own strength.

Repelling the Sui army's attack, the Hidden Blade stored in the arm armor popped out like electricity, piercing the enemy's neck.
