Traveling through the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

"Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng?"

"Ah?" Luo Cheng suddenly became sober, and raised his eyes in a daze.

It was very rare to see him in such a distraught state, it seemed that he had been like this since the guard informed that General Luo went to meet Yu Wenhuaji privately that night.

Li Shimin originally thought that he would let him go. After all, Luo Cheng and Yuwen Chengdu are better friends. This happened before Jinyang Palace. He also guarded against him letting people go, anyone can let him go, but Yu Wenhuaji was directly related to the death of his fourth brother, so he had to take Yu Wenhuaji back and let his father decide.

But I never thought that nothing happened that night.

However, in the past two days, Luo Cheng was often out of state, often in a daze.

Keeping pace with each other, Li Shimin deliberately changed the topic: "By the way, I'm afraid we won't see Yuan Ji when we go back this time."

"Ok?"

"Father sent him to guard Bingzhou, no matter what, he should be in Bingzhou at this time."

Seeing Luo Cheng's lack of interest, Li Shimin said to himself that Yuan Ji's relationship journey is really bumpy and far away.

"His Royal Highness, has our Tang Army recruited new soldiers recently?"

Faced with Luo Cheng's question, Li Shimin nodded and said, "It's always been there."

"Then in our Pingxi team..." Luo Cheng shook his head straight again: "No, it's still not right." If Yuwen Wencheng said that Yu Wencheng left his biological father in order to stay by his side, then since he is here, why not? To show up, well, even if he has the unspeakable secret of not showing up, but now that Yu Wenhua is in danger, he has no reason to see his father in danger and not save others. He is the most affectionate, loyal and filial.

That can only show that Yu Wencheng is not by his side at present.

Seeing Luo Cheng shaking his head and nodding for a while, Li Shimin didn't know what he was thinking, so he just said: "I know you and Yu Wencheng are in the same robe, but Brother Luo Cheng, I'm sorry, Yu Wenhua and this person I have to Escorted back to Chang'an City, his life and death must be decided by the emperor."

Luo Cheng nodded obediently: "I understand. He has done all kinds of bad things in his life, and he said that most of the absurd things done by the stupid king Yang Guang were instigated by Yu Wenhuaji. Minions, mutilating Zhongliang, if it is said that this is an unreasonable thing, I am afraid that Yu Wenhuaji has done more than Yang Guang. Yu Wencheng is the son of Yu Wenhuaji, this cannot be changed, he is kind to me, and I also..." Luo Cheng slightly He paused, but he couldn't think of any words to describe the relationship between him and Yuwen Chengdu. This kind of fellowship has long since understood his intentions, and it has deteriorated since seeing him fall off the cliff.

"All in all, Your Highness King Qin, although I, Luo Cheng, am not a sage, I can tell right from wrong. I will never obstruct Yu Wenhua and how to deal with it according to the law."

"Okay, I'm sure I saw you right." Li Shimin said happily.

Not long after returning to Chang'an City, the imperial decree of Yu Wenhua and his beheading came down.

On the day when Yu Wenhuaji was beheaded by exiting the Meridian Gate, Luo Cheng personally brought food to the execution ground, squatted down in front of Yu Wenhuaji whose hands and feet were bound, opened the food box, and handed the food to Yu Wenhuaji's mouth.

Yu Wenhua's eyes were wide open, as if he was about to jump out, he suddenly leaned forward, and knocked the porcelain bowl in Luo Cheng's hand to the ground, sprinkled the food on Luo Cheng, and roared with a distorted face: "Bah, Luo Cheng , you hypocrite, I don't need you to be pitiful."

"You traitor, you don't want to live when you are about to die! How dare you offend General Luo!" The executioner stepped forward, stepped back a few steps from left to right, and tied Yu Wenhuaji to the pillar.

Luo Cheng's face was neither sad nor happy, as if he didn't know how to be angry at all, he looked down at the food on the ground: "Why are you doing this, you can't eat the food if it is dirty. You are angry with me, but why do you have to make trouble with yourself , even if you are going to die, you shouldn’t be a starving ghost.”

"Hmph...Luo Cheng, don't pretend to me here. If my son Cheng knows that you indirectly killed his father, do you think he will still fall in love?" Yu Wenhuaji lowered his voice and said gloomyly, his face With the thrill of revenge.

Luo Cheng was silent for a while, looked at Yu Wenhuaji intently, and said calmly: "At the beginning, I left the Sui Dynasty without hesitation, and he couldn't stop me. Today, I am eliminating harm for the people. Even if he appeared, I would not will stop."

Luo Cheng calmly said: "I already owe him several lives. If he wants, he can take it at any time, but one thing is one thing, I will not let you go."

"Luo Cheng you!"

At this time, the supervisor stepped forward to salute Luo Cheng, respectfully said: "General Luo, the time has come, look—"

Luo Cheng turned his back, clasped his hands behind his back and said, "Do what you should do."

"Hey, hey." The beheading officer hastily stepped onto the stage, and took the beheading token in the wooden tube——

"I don't want to die! Luo Cheng, please, please save me! For Yu Wencheng's sake, save me! I don't want to die yet..."

Yu Wenhuaji's cries came from behind him, and Luo Cheng closed his eyes.

"cut--"

Accompanied by the sound of the token falling to the ground, the executioner raised the sword and dropped it. Yu Wenhuaji fell silent, and the execution ground fell silent for a moment, and then uncontrollable cheers erupted from the crowd of onlookers.

This Yu Wenhua and its search for people's fat and people's anointing, bullying men and women, has not only harmed one side for a day or two, it has long been notorious and hated by the people, except for such a big cancer, how can it be unhappy, everyone in Chang'an city is running around Let me tell you that those who have suffered from it all clap their hands and applaud.

Luo Cheng slowly opened his eyes amidst the cheers of the crowd, and Qin Yong asked, "Has the high-quality coffin ever been delivered?"

"It's luck, but..." Qin Yong looked puzzled, "General, do you really want to collect the body of this treacherous minister?"

Luo Cheng turned his head and looked at him without saying a word. The latter scratched his head and said: "General, you see how many people have died after he did all kinds of bad things. What's more, the emperor ordered him to beheaded. You Why do you have to get involved with him and pour dirty water on yourself?"

Luo Cheng glanced at him, walked past him without saying a word.

"Hey, hey... General..." Qin Yong had just walked a few steps, and found that he hadn't followed Luo Cheng's footsteps. When he turned around and saw Yan Lang was pulling his clothes, he was anxious for a moment, "I said why are you pulling?" with me?"

"You don't care about the general's private affairs."

"Collecting the corpse of the treacherous minister, how could it become the general's private business?"

"The general collected Yu Wenhuaji's body for Yuwen Chengdu's sake. If the general didn't do this, even if Yu Wenhuaji died, the common people would rush forward and take his body away because of the outrageous things Yu Wenhuaji did. Go feed the dog." Yan Lang glanced at Luo Cheng who was putting Yu Wenhuaji's body into the coffin not far away.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Qin Yong's threatening eyes staring at him, and Yan Lang felt nervous: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Qin Yong approached and said: "I have wanted to ask you for a long time. You were always with the general and lurking beside Yang Guang. What happened between the general and Yuwen Chengdu? What is the relationship between these two people? Why? Yu Wencheng disobeyed Yang Guangyang in order to disobey the emperor's order, and the general could not only defy all opinions and ask Cheng Yaojin for grace, but also did so many things for a dead Yuwen Chengdu afterwards?"

"This... this, in fact, I don't know very well, I just guessed." Yan Lang hesitated.

"Are you going to tell me or not?" Qin Yong pulled Yan Lang's collar and lifted him in front of him.

Yan Lang was forced to be helpless, annoyed: "Then come here, come here and I'll tell you! Let me declare first, I'm just guessing!"

Qin Yong listened to him, only to see that his eyes were getting wider and wider, and finally they were all round, with an expression of disbelief.

Luo Cheng buried Yu Wenhuaji not far from Chang'an City, which is a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers.Luo Cheng didn't set up a tombstone for Yu Wenhuaji, because he offended too many people during his lifetime, and worried that someone would come to dig the grave after setting up the tombstone.

When I came down from the mountain, it was almost dark, and I bumped into Qin Yong who was rushing forward in a hurry: "What's going on, what does it look like?"

Just as Qin Yong was about to speak, when he saw what Yan Lang told him earlier came back to the general's mind, he thought that his general was so handsome, and his posture was first-class and suave, how could he fall in love with Yuwen Chengdu, but Not Jiao Didi's girl?Think again, what's so good about Jiao Didi's girl.Let’s take myself and Yan Lang as an example. Jiao Didi’s girl can’t train with him, let him be beaten, drink with him, listen to his complaints, wipe his ass, so, if it’s him, he would rather Live with Yan Lang, and don't want to live with a girl who suddenly appears.

Thinking of this, Qin Yong suddenly realized that his thinking was very biased. He was just thinking about how the general and Yuwen Chengdu all of a sudden went to Yan Lang and himself, but at this moment, he understood the general a little bit.

Seeing him running out of breath, Luo Cheng clearly had something important to do, but now he didn't say a word, and pushed him suspiciously: "What are you thinking? Asking you a question? What are you doing here?"

"Oh, that's right, the emperor asked you to hurry into the palace, and called the eldest son, saying that he had something important to discuss."

"Do you know what it is?" Luo Cheng frowned.

"I don't know, but I heard that a letter came to the palace from the east today, and His Royal Highness Qin Wang was called into the palace. Not long after, Mr. Wei Zhengwei, Xu Maogong and Xu Junshi all entered the palace. Now you and the eldest son are summoned to enter the palace." Gong, is there another war?"

east?The east is in the direction of Wagang Village. Besides, Brother Wei and Brother Xu are involved. Could it be that something happened to Wagang Village?

It really made Luo Cheng guess right that something really happened in Wagang village.

At the beginning, Wei Zheng reported that he would not return, which made Li Mi sullen for a while. Later, because of the killing of Zhai Rang, the brothers felt more and more cold towards Li Mi. When Xu Maogong and Qin Qiong discussed leaving Wagang, it happened that Qin Qiong's mother Suffering from the wind and cold, unable to leave for a while, good brothers Cheng Yaojin, Shan Xiongxin and others stayed together, trying to find a way to leave after Qin's mother recovered.

Because he was not sure whether Wei Zheng had reached a consensus with Li Yuan, Xu Maogong thought that Qin Qiong and the others could leave later. He went to Li Yuan to make arrangements first, and told the brothers that news would come back within a month, and everyone would make a decision.

It's a pity that Xu Maogong just arrived in Chang'an City, and within a few days after seeing Li Yuan, the matter of settling the Wagang brothers had just been discussed, but something happened to Wagang.

What really happened?

Do you still remember Wang Shichong who parted ways with Yu Wenhuaji, occupied Jiangdu, and made himself king?This person is ambitious and wants to expand his power. No, he has set his sights on Li Mi's Western Wei Dynasty.

I don't know where he got the news. I heard that the people of the Western Wei Dynasty are now lax, and Li Mi is eager for quick success and unpopularity. This is the best time for a sneak attack.

No, Wang Shichong thought of a not-so-clever move—to ask his soldiers to provoke Wagang, and then before General Wagang went into battle, he would pretend to be invincible and run away after being defeated three times. After fighting for five days and losing for five days in a row, they fled in complete defeat.

This made Li Mi very happy. Li Mi, who was in a precarious position, found confidence now. Look... I am still very strong in the Western Wei Dynasty. I have beaten Wang Shi full of teeth. This time I must take advantage of the victory and pursue it. See who still says that Li Mi is incompetent?

No, on the sixth day, after Qin Qiong defeated Wang Shichong's generals in three moves again, Li Mi took the initiative and ordered people to continue beating the drums, allowing Qin Qiong and others to pursue the victory.

Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Shan Xiongxin, who played the battle, heard the sound of chasing drums. Although they were not angry, they could do nothing. When Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojingang entered the grove, they were surrounded by soldiers that Wang Shichong had ambushed in advance, and they couldn't fly even with wings, so they had to be captured on the spot.

When the news came out, Li Mi was immediately stunned, helpless, and fell down on the dragon chair.

On the one hand, the brothers clamored to fight to rescue Qin Qiong and others, on the other hand they put pressure on Li Mi.

But after Li Mi was at a loss for a while, he had his own little Jiujiu again.If you say that Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Shan Xiongxin are really dead, it may not be a good thing.Wagang's group is headed by these three people, and his prestige is not as good as these three people. If these three people die, then he can really hold the power in one hand.

Thinking about it this way, Li Mi was no longer in a hurry to save people, and talked to everyone leisurely, saying that he was afraid that Wang Shichong would have another ambush, so he should stand still and wait and see the development of the situation. Attacked Wang Shichong's camp at night, rescued Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin... But this is all talk, and I haven't seen him put it into action.

Li Mi is not in a hurry, naturally there are people who are in a hurry, this Wang Junke You Junda and others can't sit still, you neither let us go out to fight Wang Shichong, nor let us attack at night to save people, what on earth do you want?If you want to lead troops to rescue people in private, Wang Bodang controls the military power with one hand, and stares at everyone, and the generals are controlled by others everywhere.

Really helpless, the generals thought of Xu Maogong, Luo Cheng and others who were far away in Chang'an City, and ordered their cronies to leave Wagang at night with a letter and go straight to Chang'an City.

That's when Xu Maogong heard the news and immediately informed Li Shimin. Li Shimin hurried into the palace to ask Li Yuan for orders, and led the army to Wagang to save people from Wang Shichong.

Li Yuan thought in his heart that all the Wagang generals are brave and good at fighting. If he is used by Li Tang, the future will be limitless, and the unification of the country is just around the corner.In the past, there was a lack of an opportunity, an opportunity for the heroes of Wagang to submit to Li Tang sincerely.But now, God has placed this opportunity in front of his eyes, so he naturally has no reason to miss it.

No, as soon as Li Shimin reported the matter, he immediately called Wei Zheng Xu Maogong and the Luo family brothers into the palace to discuss sending troops to attack Wang Shichong.
