From beggar to emperor: I am not Zhu Yuanzhang

A few days later, Tao Ya set out with his Crouching Tiger Battalion.

This is also the last Crouching Tiger Battalion unit except for the 3000 men in Tian Kai's hands. The brothers who used to sleep in the same barracks and eat from the same pot finally meet each other on the battlefield. Crouching Tiger Camp versus Crouching Tiger Camp is a tragedy no matter how you look at it.

It’s no wonder that Tao Ya feels heavy, depressed, and drinks more than before.

After Tao Ya left, Yang Xingmi sat restlessly and felt anxious. Xu Wen saw all this.

Xu Wen comforted him: "Brother, don't worry, I believe Tao Ya will solve the matter."

"I'm afraid that Tao Ya will be careless because she thinks about our past friendship."

"Why don't I send someone to pick up Tao Ya? If something unexpected happens, we can get out of the siege in time." Xu Wen suggested.

"Okay, I think let Zhang Chong go. He has always been Tao Ya's partner, and we have a tacit understanding with each other."

Yangzhou Hongnong Palace.

The night was getting dark, but Yang Xingmi was not sleepy. He sat in front of the desk with his clothes on, spread out the rice paper, picked up a pen and wrote a line of words. Following Yuan Xi in the past few years, he has learned a lot of knowledge and mastered a lot of Chinese characters. He can at least write an article.

However, tonight, he was so upset that he could not calm down, and his writing was not ideal. Yang Xingmi was a little irritable, and the hand holding the pen stayed in the air and hesitated to write. Maybe there was too much ink, and a drop of ink quietly fell on the rice paper.

Yang Xingmi put down his pen and was about to change another piece of paper. At this moment, Xu Wen broke in and shouted after entering the door:

Brother, it’s not good, something big happened——

Yang Xingmi scolded him while laying out the paper: "How many times have I told you, don't panic, as a general, you must be as stable as Mount Tai..."

Xu Wen became anxious and opened his mouth to get straight to the point: "Mr. Yuan is dying."

Yang Xingmi's hand stiffened instantly, and the paperweight in his hand fell to the table with a clang.

"What did you say? Mr. Yuan..."

Without waiting for Xu Wen to explain, Yang Xingmi stumbled out of the door, and Xu Wen quickly chased after him.

Yuan Xi hadn't eaten for several days and was lying unconscious on the bed. A group of doctors looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed. In just half a month, Yuan Xi lost a lot of weight, became haggard, looked old, and looked like he was about to die.

Sir, Sir——

Before anyone could enter the door, Yang Xingmi's voice could already be heard.

I saw him hurriedly enter the door, went straight to Yuan Xi's bed, took Yuan Xi's hand, and shouted sadly: "Sir, wake up, wake up."

Xu Wen, Liu Wei, Zhou Ben and others all came and stood silently at the door.

Maybe it was telepathy, or maybe Yang Xingmi's voice was too loud, but Yuan Xi actually opened his eyes, and Yang Xingmi was overjoyed.

He held Yuan Xi's hand tightly and warned: "Sir, you must rest in peace and recuperate. I still have many questions to ask you about the secret."

He knows his own body best, so why not Yuan Xi.

He said softly: "Your Majesty, please take care of your health in the future. If you and I are master and servant, our fate may be over today."

Yang Xingmi felt sad. Years of experience in the world told him that Yuan Xi might not be able to survive this test. He endured his grief and comforted him: "Sir, don't worry. After some time, Xingmi will personally escort you back to Lujiang."

Yuan Xi noticed something strange on Yang Xingmi's face, and asked, "Is something serious happening?"

Yang Xingmi didn't know what to say, and Xu Wen next to him whispered: "Tian Kai encouraged Zhu Yanshou to rebel."

Yuan Xi sighed: "This Tian Kai, I guessed it right."

Yang Xingmi said: "Sir, don't worry, Xingmi has sent troops back to rescue Huangzhou, and they will definitely take it back."

No one noticed that while everyone was discussing how to deal with Tian Kai and Zhu Yanshou, Yuan Xi passed away on the bed.

At Yuan Xi's funeral, Yang Xingmi cried: "God doesn't want to achieve my great cause, so why does it take away my ministers? I am a generous man. My husband often advises me to kill more people. This must be the reason why my husband does not live long." ah."

"Heaven doesn't want my great merits to be accomplished, so why should I break my legs and arms? I'm very tolerant, but Xi every urges me to kill him. That's why he doesn't live long!" - "Zi Zhi Tong Jian? Tang Ji 74"

According to the custom at the time, Yang Xingmi considered escorting Yuan Xi's coffin back to his hometown in Lujiang. Who would be the guardian of the spirit was a headache for Yang Xingmi. Initially, he planned to let his eldest son Yang Wo personally escort him, but Xu Wen advised him that Yang Wo was too young and had to study, so he took the initiative to take on the matter.

Xu Wen's move made Yang Xingmi very touched. At this moment, the only person who could put himself in Yang Xingmi's shoes and help him solve his problems was probably Xu Wen. Perhaps it was because of Xu Wen's extraordinary qualities that Yang Xingmi felt confident and bold to send Hei Yun Leave it all to him.

This seems to indicate that Xu Wen is about to become a rising star in Huainan and the most popular number two figure around Yang Xingmi.

A few days later, Xu Wen personally led the vast team of guardians to leave Yangzhou and embarked on the official road to Lujiang. At the same time, the latest news came from Huangzhou. Tao Ya's army had arrived outside Huangzhou City and an encounter broke out with Zhu Yanshou's patrol team.

Tian Wei did not dare to take Tao Ya lightly. After all, he knew Tao Ya's fighting ability very well. In addition, they were all brothers from the Crouching Tiger Village in the past. Tian Wei was also afraid that Tao Ya would play the emotional card before the two armies formed, which might sway him. The already very fragile military morale.

Therefore, after hearing that a battle broke out between the patrol and Tao Ya's army, Tian Kai immediately decided to go out personally and try to defeat Tao Ya in a battle to avoid greater trouble.

Outside Huangzhou City, the two armies faced each other, and a magical scene occurred.

Both sides were flying the banner of Crouching Tiger Camp, and even the military uniforms were the same. If you didn't look carefully, you would have thought it was the same army conducting a military parade.

Tian Kai has been in exile for more than a year and has not changed his mind yet, which really surprises Tao Ya. Tao Ya was riding on the horse and could vaguely see two generals under the banner of the Chinese army on the opposite side. They should be Zhu Yanshou and Tian Kai.

On the opposite side, Zhu Yanshou and Tian Kai also looked coldly at Tao Ya, who was under the banner opposite. Neither of them spoke first.

There was silence like this for a stick of incense. Finally, Tao Ya couldn't bear it anymore. He clapped his horse and stepped forward, shouting to Tian Kai:

"Second brother, you have been fine recently. I didn't expect that you and I would meet again on the battlefield today. We said goodbye to Xuanzhou. It has been a year and you are still the same."

Tian Kai no longer had any emotional fluctuations in Tao Ya's words, and he replied expressionlessly:

"Tao Ya, for the sake of our old brotherhood, I will call you third brother one last time. From now on, we will talk on the battlefield."

The third brother mentioned by Tian Kai here has a hidden secret. If arranged in order, Tao Ya should be the fourth brother. Why did he become the third brother when Tian Kai said it?

It turns out that before Yang Xingmi became sworn sworn brother, Tian Kai was the eldest brother, Dai Yougui was the second eldest brother, and Tao Ya was the third eldest brother, so he was naturally the third brother. After Yang Xingmi joined the team, he became the eldest brother, and Tao Ya became the fourth in order.

This is why everyone calls Tao Ya the fourth child, but when they get to Tian Kai, they insist on calling them the third child. This shows that Tian Kai no longer recognizes Yang Xingmi's eldest brother status, and I, Tian Kai, are the eldest brother!

Of course, wanting to be a big brother does not depend on your loud voice, but on your strength. If you have strength, you are the big brother. If you still want to be the big brother after you have become a lost dog, it is just a dream.
