Traveling through the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

While everyone was horrified, Luo Cheng suddenly turned his gun, picked Wang Bodang's arm directly, and moved Shan Xiongxin in his hand to his side, and protected himself.

Uncle Wang held his bleeding arm and looked at Luo Cheng with hatred.

After the army brought by Li Yuanji took down all the guard posts in Heifenggang and controlled the situation, Li Yuanji walked towards Luo Cheng in the front yard, and asked cheerfully and concernedly, "How is it? Are you okay?"

Who would have thought that not only would it be fine if he didn't get even a little bit of gratitude, but he would just accuse him: "Li Yuanji, why are you here? You brought so many people with you, shouldn't you be guarding Bingzhou and Chang'an City? You Let’s go, isn’t this an opportunity for others to sneak attack Chang’an City?”

Li Yuanji was taken aback for a moment, then said dumbly: "I..."

"Go back quickly! Chang'an City is the most important thing, and there is no room for any mistakes. You can't play like this and neglect your duties."

Li Yuanji was robbed by Luo Cheng, and before he could say anything, he was accused of childishness and dereliction of duty. He was so annoyed that he glared at Luo Cheng viciously, and said angrily, "Yes, In your eyes, I am just a naive ghost, so I am in vain, what do these people have to do with me?"

Li Yuanji turned and left angrily without any delay.Luo Cheng frowned and wanted to stop him, but the man's temper was already irritable, and now he was annoyed, he ran faster than anyone else, and when Luo Cheng wanted to stop him, they all walked away. Luo Cheng had no choice but to give up.

Luo Cheng didn't call out to stop Li Yuanji, and let Li Yuanji go away alone. Li An, who followed Li Yuanji to support him, was so anxious: "General Luo, why... how can you say that about His Highness King Qi."

Li An pulled Luo Cheng aside, and said in a low voice: "My Royal Highness Qi Wang was in Bingzhou City. When I heard that His Royal Highness Qin Wang ordered you to intercept Hulao Pass and stop Dou Jiande's 30 troops from advancing, I was so anxious. Anyhow, I summoned the army in the city overnight to come to support you."

Li An paused and continued: "When the army arrived at Hulao Pass, they happened to encounter Dou Jiande's night attack and stormed Hulao Pass. Hulao Pass only had thousands of troops. People and horses surrounded you to death. King Qi was the first to bear the brunt and led his men to fight at the forefront. He joined forces with the brothers of the Luo family army in the city to break up Dou Jiande's army and deal heavy damage. What Yan Lang said, you are not in the city, and you dared to go to Heifenggang to rescue people with more than a hundred people. His Royal Highness Qi Wang was so anxious, he didn't dare to rest at all, and hurried to the ground, so that he could barely catch up Your steps."

"If His Royal Highness King Qi doesn't come, General Luo, can you really retreat this time?" Although Li Yuanji's master is really not very good, for Li An, who is a bystander, he can help Luo Cheng. It is not easy to do this step. The matter of dispatching troops to leave Bingzhou without authorization will be known to the emperor sooner or later. Even if His Royal Highness King Qi is the emperor's own son, he will inevitably be punished for such a major event.King Qi's behavior, in exchange for such a reprimand, Li An felt a little unworthy of him, "General Luo, His Royal Highness King Qi is indeed not a good person, and there are many people who scold him behind his back. But you can ask him carefully. , Did King Qi ever forgive you? Anyone can accuse His Highness King Qi, but you..."

Li An didn't finish his sentence, it was because of his dog-legged nature. Today, he was provoked for a while, and he said so much nonsense, but he accused a general of the following crime.

Luo Cheng pursed his lips and frowned slightly, looking at the direction Li Yuanji left without speaking.

After Li An finished speaking, he chased Li Yuanji away, leaving only the Tang army around the mountain to be dispatched by Luo Cheng.

After a while, Luo Cheng ordered someone to unload the weapons of the Western Wei army, untie the Shan family, and untie the rope for Shan Xiongxin himself: "Shan Wuge."

As soon as Shan Xiongxin freed his hands, he hugged Luo Cheng deeply, and patted him on the shoulder: "Good brother, good brother! My brother has no other skills in this life, but to recognize a good brother! My brother owes you this This favor can never be repaid."

Luo Cheng was startled by his sudden action at first, and then he smiled and distanced himself and said, "Shan Wu brother, don't say that. You and I are brothers, we shouldn't be separated from each other."

Luo Cheng turned to look at Wang Bodang beside him again, and said to Shan Xiong: "Shan Wu brother, how do you plan to deal with him."

Shan Xiongxin was heartbroken, stepped forward two steps towards Wang Bodang, and said: "The brotherhood between you and me has been broken, and the righteousness will be cut off, and the old relationship will be wiped out. When we meet again, we will be strangers, and life and death will have nothing to do with each other."

After finishing speaking, Shan Xiongxin lifted up his robe, and cut off the robe in full view.

Wang Bodang's subordinates were in unbearable pain, seeing Shan Xiongxin's actions, he felt mixed feelings and didn't know what to say.

Shan Xiongxin looked at Luo Cheng, and said earnestly: "Brother Luo Cheng, maybe you think I, Shan Xiongxin, are too indecisive, but I still hope that you will spare Wang Bodang's life for the sake of old love. How he lives and dies in the future has nothing to do with me."

Luo Cheng glanced at Wang Bodang, who was bent because of the pain, stepped forward and said condescendingly: "Since Brother Shan Wu has spoken, I will let you go back this time. However, you also know that my marksmanship is accurate, and I will never shoot. Just now That shot has already picked the meridians of your right hand, and you may not be able to draw a bow in the future."

As soon as Luo Cheng said this, Uncle Wang suddenly raised his head and stared at Luo Cheng with wide eyes. The hatred in his eyes surged out, without any concealment, as if he wanted to tear the person in front of him to pieces: "Luo Cheng, You might as well just kill me!" He himself is famous for his archery skills, but now, his right hand is useless and he can no longer draw a bow, and he still has the title of "Wagang's No. [-] Archer" and the Generalissimo of the Western Wei Dynasty. Isn't it ironic.

"If you don't want to live anymore, you can commit suicide. I won't stop you, but since I promised Fifth Brother Shan to spare your life, I won't break my promise."

Uncle Wang blushed at his words: "Luo Cheng you! You..."

"Since you don't have the guts to die, let's go." Luo Cheng shouted at Tang Jun who was surrounded not far away, "Let him go."

Uncle Wang bit his lip unwillingly, glared at Luo Cheng, hugged his right arm, and left alone in embarrassment.

It was not easy for the two brothers to meet, still in this situation of the rest of their lives, Shan Xiongxin naturally had a lot to say to Luo Cheng, but seeing his absent-minded look, he immediately said: "I won't keep you either. It’s here, since I’m worried, it’s better to go and have a look.”

Luo Cheng showed embarrassment and said: "Brother Shan Wu...he has a bad temper and talks nonsense, don't take it to heart."

Shan Xiongxin smiled heartily and said, "There is nothing wrong with what he said. I had nothing to do with him. He has no reason to come to save me. If it wasn't for your face, Tang Jun would not come to save people. I didn't take it to heart at all, and as for being angry, I can't say it. But you, people came all the way to save you, but you are fine, without saying a word, you ran away in a blink of an eye."

Luo Cheng pouted, but remained silent.But the worry in his heart is obvious. Once this person loses his temper, others will definitely be hurt.

"It's nothing serious for me. You should hurry to find that person. It's not a trivial matter to secretly transfer soldiers and horses. He does this for you, so it can be seen that he is very affectionate. Anyway, he should be fine."

Luo Cheng thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go find him now."

Shan Xiongxin said again: "Well, you should deal with these things quickly and go back. The Hulao Pass is also at a critical moment, and there is no way to defend the city without a general. You go ahead, and I will settle down my family and the brothers of Heifenggang. Then I will go down the mountain to find you, and fight back with you."

Luo Cheng's eyes lit up, and he said nervously, "Brother Shan Wu, what do you mean?"

Shan Xiongxin nodded: "I, Shan Xiongxin, am not a person who can only hold grudges but not kindness. It is true that my elder brother Shan Xiongzhong was wrongly killed by Li Yuan, but this time, no matter whether Tang Jun came to save me or not, it is after all. Saved the lives of more than a hundred members of my Shan family, I am willing to do my best to be the last member of my Shan family, and I will also join you in repelling Dou Jiande's army for the Tang army."

After hearing this, Luo Cheng was overjoyed: "Brother Shan Wu, it would be great to have you here, we brothers can finally fight side by side again."

After Luo Cheng bid farewell to Shan Xiongxin, he rushed back to Hulao Pass with Tang Jun and Luo Jiajun who were left behind by Li Yuanji.

At this moment, Hulao Pass did not have the gunpowder smoke from the battle with the Tang army a few days ago. Dou Jiande's troops were frustrated, so they took a temporary rest, and the siege of Hulao Pass was relieved.

As soon as Luo Cheng entered the city gate, Yan Lang greeted him excitedly. He searched for Luo Yong in the crowd with his eyes. Said that you have won a complete victory, and all the Western Wei troops who attacked Heifenggang surrendered? Wang Bodang was also beaten away by you?"

Luo Yong glanced at Luo Cheng who was crossing his eyes, lowered his head again, and muttered, "I didn't do anything."

"Why didn't you do anything?" Yan Lang looked at Luo Cheng with puzzled eyes, "General?"

Luo Cheng smiled and said: "A certain person was greatly frustrated this time. As soon as he led people into the cell, the big iron door of the cell was closed, and it became a fight between trapped beasts. It is Li Yuanji who leads people to solve the problem." After the Western Wei Army, we released him."

Yan Lang suppressed a smile and comforted him: "Chief Cavalry Guard, it's all right, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs."

Luo Yong blushed with embarrassment, pushed Yan Lang and said, "I admit, I underestimated the enemy and didn't enter in batches, so Uncle Wang took advantage of it."

"Just learn from it in the future." Luo Cheng comforted him, then looked around secretly.

Yan Lang pouted inside and said: "His Royal Highness King Qi is behind. When he first came back, he was cursing and became very angry. I ordered the soldiers to stay as far away from him as possible, so as not to harm Chi Yu. Now I Seeing that Li An is busy, it is said that he will rush back to Bingzhou overnight."

Yan Lang approached Luo Cheng and said, "General, why are you so angry with the King of Qi? His face is so dark and frightening, and he even said that he would go back to Bingzhou all night. This black man, why are you in such a hurry?"

Why do they all think that they have offended Li Yuanji?Why didn't anyone blame Li Yuanji for mobilizing troops and horses without authorization and leaving his post without authorization?Thinking about it this way, Luo Cheng was still a little guilty, and asked, "Has he left yet?"

Yan Lang chuckled, thinking that King Qi was also very hypocritical: "Not yet, I was clamoring to leave after noon, but it dragged on until the evening, no, you are all back, he hasn't left yet, I reckon that he just wants to wait for you to come back and take a look at you before leaving."

"What's interesting about me? It's not a big girl's house." Luo Cheng muttered, but still couldn't help walking towards the backyard.

Li An stood at the door, looking outside the door eagerly, and suddenly saw a familiar figure running happily into the house: "Here we come, we come, my lord, General Luo is coming this way."

Li Yuanji, who was packing his luggage by himself, loosened his face, and the corners of his lips turned up, and he quickly restrained his smile, glared at Li An and said, "What does it have to do with me whether he comes or not? It deserves your joy, I don’t know how to be prudent.”

Li An was scolded inexplicably, touched his nose, and said to himself: "Aren't I happy for you, my lord? If you want to leave early, you still pack your luggage? Not to mention that there was no one when you came." Luggage, even if you have luggage, when did you pack it yourself..."

Li Yuanji threw away a half-worn long gown that was repeatedly folded in his hands, and he didn't know whose it was. He stood up and said, "Hey, you dog slave is still working hard, get out and go."

Li Anxin said, you are a dead duck with a stubborn mouth.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps coming from behind, as if they stopped when approaching the door.

Li Yuanji turned his body half sideways, and said to Li Anlang: "What are you doing here, you stupid slave? You are so stupid to make you pack your luggage so slowly, and I was rushing back to Bingzhou, and you were all delayed."

Li An had a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat, I said, is it me?Am I delaying your trip?You are obviously the one who insisted on not leaving, so why am I always taking the blame for you.

"Li Yuanji—"

Li Yuanji turned around and faced Luo Cheng's lightly frowned head-on. His anger flared up again. You're not happy anymore. I'm the one who drives day and night, and I'm the one who gets scolded, okay?

Li Yuanji snorted coldly, and turned his back: "It's useless to say anything, anyway, I must leave tonight. Li An, hurry up and mobilize the army, let's go back to Bingzhou overnight."

"Li Yuanji, even if you want to leave, what are you doing with my clothes?"

"What are you..." Li Yuanji was about to retort instinctively, but after thinking about it, he became dumb, and looked down at the clothes in his hand, "Is this yours?"

"It's not mine, maybe it's yours." Luo Cheng snatched the half-worn gown from his hands, "My mother sewed it for me."

Li An laughed awkwardly.

Li Yuanji rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and after hearing the second part of his sentence, he said a little dissatisfied: "Okay, I can't even compare to a piece of clothing now."

Luo Cheng couldn't laugh or cry, why is this person so competitive, next year's age is two or three years older than him: "Okay, okay, don't be awkward, I admit, I was too anxious when I was in Heifenggang Yes, I spoke too aggressively for a while, and I apologize to you."

Li Yuanji turned his back and ignored him.

Luo Cheng said again: "I know you treat me well, otherwise I wouldn't come to Hulao to help you with the crime of privately dispatching troops, but you see, Bingzhou is a barrier for Chang'an City, if there is no one in Bingzhou, Chang'an City will soon drive straight into it? At that time, what should the emperor, civil and military ministers, and the people of Chang'an City do?"

Li Yuanji was also a little scared at the moment. At that time, he was thinking whether Luo Cheng would let Dou Jiande be beaten to death, and he completely forgot about his father.

"Even if nothing bad happens, if the emperor and all the civil and military officials know about your dispatch of troops, you will definitely not be spared, even if you are the emperor's own son."

Hearing this, all the unhappiness in Li Yuanji's heart was ironed out. Hearing these words, he knew that Luo Cheng was worried about him and thought of him, and he was very happy in his heart.

"That's right, General Luo, you are so right." Li An leaned forward and agreed.

Because Luo Cheng was here, Li Yuanji originally wanted to kick this obtrusive follower out of the house, but in the end he just stared at him, signaling him to wink and leave quickly, but the latter seemed to be invisible. Gossiping.

"My lord, look, as soon as you heard that General Luo was going to Heifenggang to rescue people, you rashly took the army to Heifenggang. What is Heifenggang? After opening the door and pointing out the way, can we enter the mountain so smoothly and wipe out the army of the Western Wei Dynasty? I’m afraid we can only wait at the gate of the mountain and listen to the fighting inside the mountain. Then you shouldn’t be anxious to death!”

Li Yuanji said in his heart, don't you talk too much nonsense?Who told you to talk so much, belittle your master, are you so happy?

Luo Cheng interrupted suddenly: "Didn't you climb up the mountain from the cliff at the back?"

Li Yuanji shook his head honestly: "Didn't you Luo Jiajun open the mountain gate? Did you lead the way?"

Luo Cheng pondered: "When we first went to Heifenggang, the troops were divided into two groups. I took people to the compound to arrest Wang Bodang, and Luo Yong took people to the prison to rescue the Shan family. As soon as we went to the compound, we were arrested. Wang Bodang and his men were surrounded, and Luo Yong's men were locked inside the iron gate of the prison, and there is no one left."

"Li An, come here, didn't you follow that man to occupy the guard post? What does that man look like?"

Li An, who was named by Li Yuanji, also wondered: "Yes, he said he was from the Luo family army, and he took me to eradicate the sentries of the Western Wei Dynasty, and told me that you are in the compound, General Luo, and asked me to take someone to rescue people."

Luo Cheng lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head, with a bright light in his eyes, he walked up to Li An in two or three steps, held his arms, and asked, "What does that person look like? Is he close to him? Seven feet? Sturdy body, strong face, sharp edges? Does he have bright eyes? Doesn't he?"

Li An was a little dazed when he was questioned, and froze in place.

Hearing this, Li Yuanji's expression became ugly, and he stepped forward to stop Luo Cheng and said, "Let go! Yu Wencheng is dead, don't have any illusions about him anymore."

"He's not dead! He's never been dead, he just didn't want to see me because I broke his heart."

"Okay, even if he's not dead, it can't be him! Li An knows Yuwen Chengdu, don't forget, Li An knows Yuwen Chengdu, if he really is Yuwen Chengdu, Li An will definitely recognize it."

Luo Cheng's excitement calmed down a little, he let go of his hand, took two steps back in a daze, and said to himself: "Yes, he has seen Yu Wencheng, if it is him, it is impossible not to recognize him. "

Thinking about it, Luo Cheng turned around and left the room in a daze.

As soon as the person left, Li An suddenly fell to the ground, raised his head to look at Li Yuanji, and said in a low voice, "My lord, although he has changed a lot, I didn't recognize him before, but General Luo just said that, That person seems to be Yuwen Chengdu."
