[Sui and Tang Dynasties] Wise husbands emerge from under the whip

Wearing a dark red high-waisted long dress, covered with a dusty and somewhat dirty dark gold cotton jacket, the collar and cuffs are covered with fox fur to keep out the cold, even if it is dirty, the color cannot be distinguished, but that This smooth material can also be known as the upper class.The tassel tied around the waist flutters as the woman walks. Three thousand blue silks are combed into a layered high bun, with hairpin flowers and vines. Under the full forehead is a pair of clear eyes.

Even though the clothes on her body were stained with dust and the corners of the clothes were no longer flat, she still held her chest high and strode forward, not at all like a prisoner, but on the contrary, her dignity was not diminished, and the sense of oppression was only felt.

"As expected of today's princess and concubine, the future queen of the Sui Dynasty really has a spirit that is different from ordinary people." The man wearing a silver mask sat on the high hall, squinting at the approaching Kejing.He was wearing a navy blue long gown, wrapped in a tiger fur cloak, his hair was tied behind his head with a black hosta, and his pale and slender fingers were resting on the handle of the chair. He looked her up and down in this high posture.

From the moment Kejing came in, he was attracted by her fierce aura. Although women who are queens are not ordinary people, according to his years of experience in seeing people, the woman in front of him is It has majesty and majesty even more arrogant than the mother Yi Tianxia.

Standing still, Ke Jing looked at the man with a smile, "If you respect me, should you kneel down to salute me?"

After the words fell, accompanied by a loud scolding from the person next to him, several gleaming knives stretched out from both sides.The tip of the knife was facing Ke Jing, shining cold and harsh light.

Without looking at the angry faces of those people on the left and right, Ke Jing stared at the man, his red lips slightly raised, "It turns out that Shan Gangzhu's mind is not as open-minded as I imagined."

The man sat up straight, and looked back at Ke Jing with great interest, "How does the princess concubine know the surname of the clan leader?"

Returning a smile of unknown meaning, Ke Jing replied: "Naturally, it's the same as Gang Leader Shan knowing the identity of Bengong."

After a brief silence, Shan Xiongyi suddenly raised his head and laughed louder and louder, as if hearing some very funny joke.His subordinates looked at each other without understanding, and didn't know what to do next, so they could only point the tip of the knife at Ke Jing.

Stop laughing, Shan Xiongyi reprimanded the people on the left and right: "Take a knife to the princess, do you think you have lived long enough? Hurry up and take it back, bring a chair for the empress, and another one." Tea!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he put away the big knives, followed by a thin boy who moved a chair for Ke Jing, and then a man dressed as a servant presented a cup of freshly brewed tea.

Shan Xiongyi clasped his fists at Ke Jing, and said: "The people below are offended just now, please don't take it to heart."

After taking his seat, Ke Jing smiled and said, "Shan Gang Leader should be happy. They are so unanimous to the outside world, doesn't it also show their loyalty to you?"

"Thanks to your good words, and thanks to the unity of the brothers, we are able to take root in this mountain. Otherwise, we would still be drifting." Speaking of this, Shan Xiongyi's expression could not hide his resentment.

"Judging from Gang Leader Shan's tone, you must have suffered great injustice. If Gang Leader Shan doesn't dislike it, I am willing to listen to what you have experienced and seek justice for you."

Hearing what Kejing said, Shan Xiongyi restrained his expression, and laughed at himself: "Shan knows that the empress is a good concubine who cares about the people, and Shan has also heard a little about the deeds of the empress, but we are just a bunch of paid horses, why bother?" Is your empress willing to spend time and energy on us? What's more, the brothers are living comfortably now."

"But the matter of robbing the government must be brought to justice after all. Even if the gang leader is doing the work of robbing the rich and helping the poor, the robbers are all corrupt officials, but such things are not so popular in the ears of the government. It's over, the matter is on the tongue, who knows whether the last message is true or not, does the leader of the Shan gang want all brothers to bear the blame for the rest of their lives? And even if the leader of the Shan gang doesn't think about himself, he still wants to take care of those under your hands Help the brothers think about it."

Ke Jing's reasonable words pierced Shan Xiongyi's heart, facing those eyes that seemed to see through everything, after a long silence, he sighed.It's not that he didn't think about it, but that after the brothers reached an agreement with him, he was unwilling to face the fact of existence.I thought it was not a big problem for a long time, but when it was found out by others, the hurdle in my heart was still difficult to overcome.

Picking up the half-worn teacup, Kejing blew away the tea leaves floating on it, lowered his head and took a sip.

The taste is naturally not as good as the new leaves of the East Palace. The tea is boiled by the dew on the leaves in Spring Garden every morning. That's good, the requirements for tea and water cups are not as high as those in the palace.

After a cup of tea was drained, Shan Xiongyi succinctly described his experiences, including being framed by thieves and his family property being taken away.After three cups of tea, Ke Jing filtered the news he had heard in his mind, put down his teacup and looked at the man who was no longer as energetic as before.

"I am very sad about what happened to Gang Leader Shan. I understand the heroic deeds and character of Gang Leader Shan. If we can find out the truth," Ke Jing pointed to the sky. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will return to Gang Master Shan for justice."

"Fairness?" Shan Xiongyi snorted coldly, with disdain flashing across his eyes, "How can there be justice in this world? If there is justice, our brothers will not be driven here and live a life without seeing the sun."

"Master Shan, there is a god standing three feet above the head. Even if we humans are powerless against the evil forces, God will one day show up in person. To be honest, I went to the foot of the mountain this time for the wedding of the fifth princess. The fifth princess I don't want to marry Wang Yi's son, but because of my friendship with Wang Yi, the emperor can't refuse the marriage, so I want to invite the Empress Dowager Tianyuan to come forward."

"After hearing about Wang Yi's bad deeds from Shan Gangzhu, I have more confidence. I believe that not only can we reject this marriage for the princess, but also bring Wang Yi to justice. Brothers, you don’t have to live a life where everyone criticizes you and never sees the light of day.”

A certain string in his heart was stirred by Ke Jing's last words. He admitted that for a while, he was moved by Ke Jing.

Just think, who would want to live a shameful life?Even if they do the work of robbing the rich and helping the poor, even if they often help the people nearby, even if they often punish corrupt officials, but as Ke Jing said, if the words are spinning around on the tongue, they are eternal thieves.

But... If he and the others hadn't seen the facts clearly before becoming a salaryman, then they wouldn't have embarked on this road of no return.

They are people from the rivers and lakes, and the people of the rivers and lakes have the rules of the people of the rivers and lakes, which cannot be interfered by the court. Moreover, officials and knight-errants are two groups that do not intersect with each other, so he has his way, and they have their own way.

Shan Xiongyi resumed his haughty posture, leaned on the cushion behind him and adjusted a more comfortable posture, and said, "Thanks to the Crown Princess for being so respectful of Shan, but we still don't want the imperial court to be involved in the affairs of us Jianghu people, otherwise we will only We will be laughed at by others, and we will look down on ourselves."

Ke Jing smiled disapprovingly, "Shan Gangzhu seems to have missed a point. Wang Yi is not only your enemy, but also the scum of the imperial court. With such people, the imperial court will not turn a blind eye. It’s not for helping Shan Gangzhu, but also for the court and the local people.”

When the conversation was going smoothly, someone from outside reported that a man who claimed to be the King of Jin was leading a group of soldiers to force his way into the stronghold.

Hearing the word Jin Wang, Ke Jing frowned, exchanged glances with Shan Xiongyi, and begged him to take her out of the camp together.

The sound of weapons clashing could be heard from far away, and the shouts of killing could be heard. Outside the cottage, Yang Guang led a group of his elite men to fight fiercely with Shan Xiongyi's men, and there was no outcome after several rounds.

Yang Guang's elite subordinates are all selected from among his fighters. Although they are not the best group, they are still outstanding, and the people on Shan Xiongyi's side are not fuel-efficient lamps, even if the weapons in their hands are not as good as Yang Guang's. That team, and their martial arts also had the upper hand.

For a while, the two teams couldn't tell each other apart.

"Stop me all!"

"His Royal Highness, please stop!"

Shan Xiongyi and Ke Jing were born together.However, Yang Guang's sword still pierced the chest of the leading man in white, and Yang Guang himself was not much better, his shoulder blade was pierced by the flying knife, bleeding profusely.

Both were helped to the room for treatment. The doctor in the village said that neither of them was life-threatening, but that they had lost too much blood and needed to rest for a few days.

The one in white is Shan Xiongyi's first sworn brother, named Zhongyu, who Shan Xiongyi met when he was in the most difficult time, and later shared life and death together, so the friendship between each other cannot be expressed in a few words .

For Shan Xiongyi, the person who hurt Zhongyu was tantamount to hurting him. If Ke Jing hadn't eased it, he would have killed him with a knife.

Shan Xiongyi vacated a room for Yang Guang, and Yang Guang was lying on the wooden bed with a pale face.

Li Yuan and the others have already been taken to prison, and they are chatting with Shan Xiongyi in the outer hall. The two are both chivalrous and courageous. As soon as the words come out, they feel like they hit it off. Coupled with Li Yuan's talkative and easy-going personality, they quickly get acquainted with each other. network up.

Ke Jing took care of Yang Guang in the back room as a relative. The room was small and could accommodate four or five people at most. A bed took up a large area, leaving only a few chairs and a coffee table.

"Please take care of my sister-in-law." Yang Guang straightened his upper body and wanted to thank him, but the pain caused him to gasp because of the wound. "Sister-in-law Huang saw such a decadent appearance. I hope sister-in-law won't make fun of me."

Wipe off the concoction from the corner of Yang Guang's mouth with a handkerchief, Ke Jing freed his hand to pull the quilt for him and said: "His Royal Highness Jin was injured in order to save this palace, so this palace is naturally obliged to take care of you, and the people around Jinwang Palace If you can fight, you will only be taken care of if you take care of someone, not to mention that when someone is not in embarrassment, I am now laughing at you, Your Highness, and you may laugh at me one day."

Yang Guang opened the corner of his mouth, and said: "Sister-in-law Huang is more and more able to tell jokes. Seeing that sister-in-law is safe and sound, this king can rest assured, and brother Huang can also rest assured."

The fingers hidden in the wide sleeves trembled slightly, and Ke Jing put the bowl back on the tray in Chun Yuan's hand without changing his face, and said with a smile: "It's only been a few days since you came out, and the Crown Prince will keep it in your heart, the concubine is really not careful enough. "

"Sister-in-law Huang should feel happy. Brother Huang is thinking about his wife, and it is because he loves sister-in-law deeply. Such deep feelings make me, a younger brother, want to find someone like sister-in-law as soon as possible. Hui Xinlan's quality girl, we got married together."

Ke Jing smiled, stood up and said, "For an outstanding man like His Royal Highness King Jin, the girls are willing to pay back even if it is upside down. I will not disturb your rest. If His Royal Highness Jin Wang has any instructions, call my maid Qiu Tang will be fine."

He took Chunyuan away, and within a few steps, Chunyuan murmured.

I don't know if she was overthinking or what, but she always felt that His Royal Highness King Jin bit the word "sister-in-law" very hard, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Because of Yang Guang's recovery, the trip of Kejing and his party was delayed for another two days. By the time they started on the road and arrived at the foot of the mountain, it was already five days later.

Since Yang Jian usurped the throne of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and established the Great Sui Dynasty, Yang Lihua still maintained her identity as the Empress Dowager of Tianyuan and lived in Hongsheng Palace with her only daughter Yuwen Eying.

Ke Jing and the others were led to Hongsheng Palace by the old eunuch. When they entered the palace gate, they saw a richly dressed woman teaching the girl beside her to write.

No one gave an order, and a large group fell to their knees with a clatter, followed by a unanimous greeting.

Yang Lihua didn't raise her head to make them stand up, didn't order the palace servants to bring them stools, didn't let them serve tea, and didn't show much enthusiasm, but continued to teach the girls to write,

Li Yuan looked at Yang Lihua in puzzlement, his thick eyebrows frowned.

Isn't the Empress Dowager Tianyuan Yang Yong's eldest sister?It stands to reason that she should not be ignorant of the purpose of their visit this time, and he also believed that Yang Lihua must have received Yang Yong's letter long before they came here, otherwise she would not have been surprised, but the problem is, except Before she asked them to get up, she stopped talking to them, as if she only existed as air to them.

What is this lukewarm attitude?Eviction order?

Because Ke Jing didn't speak, others including Yang Guang naturally wouldn't be the first to speak.

Time passed minute by minute, almost a quarter of an hour later, Ke Jing suddenly said.

"Princess is such a well-behaved and pleasing child. If she studies calligraphy so hard, she must be a smart person in the future."

The jade finger pointing at the bamboo slips was misplaced, and the girl raised her head to look at Yang Lihua, "Mother, please cover up the words so that the child cannot see them."

Yang Lihua touched her daughter Yuwen Eying's head and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, come on, let's continue."

Yuwen Eying nodded, holding the brush and writing the unfinished characters stroke by stroke.

Li Yuan felt that he understood the atmosphere in front of him a little bit. Not only Yang Lihua, but even her daughter was so self-conscious and ignored them. Apart from knowing the purpose of their visit, it was also a reminder to them.

In this matter, Yang Lihua may not take action, even if the person she wants to help is her youngest sister, Yang Awu.
