Traveling through the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

As soon as Li Yuanji stepped out of the room, he stopped.

Even if he went to Luo Cheng right now, it would not help. What can Luo Cheng do?The army from Beiping Mansion has not yet arrived, and Luo Cheng will not be able to leave for a while. Who knows if Yang Lin will send a second, third, or even fourth wave of people to deliver the letter before that.

This Taiyuan City is the territory of their Li family. If they want to close Yang Guanghun's eyes and ears, they have to point to his Li family.

Li Yuanji still has a little understanding of his father's personality.His father is conservative and has a calm demeanor.Even if you have the heart to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, you will never do it until you are sure that everything is safe.

His father's conservativeness allowed the Li family to escape disasters time and time again.For example, during Emperor Wen's period, it was difficult to spread the rumors of "Ji Wutou, the sea is boundless, and sooner or later the world will be controlled by him", or the change of the Yang family's throne, after Yang Guang killed his brother and ascended the throne, he killed all civil and military officials... His father acted calmly and conservatively, the Li family probably left with the Wu family long ago.

But it was precisely because of this that Li Yuanji stopped in his tracks.

Although he has an official position, the military power in Taiyuan is still in the hands of his father, preventing Yang Lin's people from entering the city to report, delaying time, and allowing the army of Beiping Prefecture to join Luo Cheng and leave smoothly. These are not his subordinates If it can be done, you must get the father's soldier talisman and call the soldiers.Although Luo Cheng was the savior of his Li family, Li Yuanji really didn't dare to guarantee that his father would take the risk of killing his entire family to protect the Luo family.

In Li Yuanji's eyes, if his father's behavior sounds good, he is conservative, and if he sounds bad, he is timid.I'm afraid that the way to seek help from my father will not work, so don't discuss it over and over again. In the end, Yang Lin's people came to the door, and the discussion has not yet reached a result.

Li Yuanji thought about it, and a person appeared in his mind.

Who is this person?

It was the second fox whom he hated so much on weekdays.

Don't you, Li Shimin, love to make friends with heroes from all walks of life?Don't you, Li Shimin, claim to be the most loyal?

Right now, little brother Ren Luo is in trouble. This man saved your whole family and even called you Brother Li in the past. I see whether you can save him or not.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanji turned around and went to Li Shimin's yard first.

Li Shimin was talking about the past and the present with his cronies in the study at the moment, and he was not angry when Li Yuanji barged in abruptly, after all, this man who entered someone's yard was always rampant.But what made him curious was, why did he come to his yard instead of going to his elder brother's yard?Even in 800 years, he could not visit this yard once.

As soon as Li Yuanji entered the study, his eyes scanned the faces of everyone in the study, and fell on Li Shimin's face, and said bluntly: "Second brother, I have something to tell you."

Li Shimin was flattered. He remembered that the last time when Li Yuanji called his second brother, he asked him to speak kindly for him in front of Luo Cheng's younger brother. What is the situation now?

Li Shimin glanced at the cronies beside him, Li Jinghong Funu, the bearded man, Yuan Tiangang, and Li Chunfeng were all there.

The so-called don't doubt people, don't doubt people, Li Shimin didn't think that Li Yuanji had anything to say that he couldn't say in front of everyone, so he said very generously: "It doesn't matter if Yuanji has something to say, these are his own people."

Li Yuanji glanced at the crowd, thinking in his mind, if it was Li Shimin alone, he might not necessarily agree to his request, but if his loyal followers were all there, Li Shimin would be in trouble if he mentioned this matter If you don't agree, you have to agree, otherwise the reputation of benevolence and righteousness will be ruined.

As for whether any of these people would tell the truth, Li Yuanji never thought about it.Don't think he doesn't know that Erhu's subordinates all have an unshakable hatred for the Sui Dynasty. When the door of the study is closed, a group of people often sigh with emotion, how stupid Yang Guang is, and how he saved the people from the fire and water.

Therefore, Li Yuanji directly took out a letter from his arms and handed it over: "Look."

Li Shimin took the letter suspiciously, opened it, his face changed drastically, which made Yuan Tiangang and others very curious.

"Where did you get this letter?" Li Shimin said sharply.

"Early this morning, I went to a teahouse to drink tea. I stopped a murderer on a horse. After I stopped, I realized that it was the Ten Taibao under the command of the backer king Yang Lin. On the order of the backer king, he sent Yang Guang an urgent message of [-] li. I see him His expression was not right, so he had a heart, and asked his subordinates to take him back to the mansion, and after he fainted, he found this letter from his arms."

Li Shimin's eyes stayed on the letter in his hand, his brows were furrowed, as if it was a hot potato.

"Second Young Master, what happened?" Seeing his expression, Hong Fu Nu asked worriedly.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Yuanji, and smiled wryly in his heart. He was forcing himself to express his opinion. Was he plotting against the three idiots?

Li Shimin couldn't hide it when someone from his own family mentioned it first, so he said: "In the letter, Yang Lin told Yang Guang that Luo Cheng had already invested in Wagang Village, and that Wei Wentong's death and the breaking of the Long Snake Formation were all from him." Let Yang Guang take him down, and all the people in Beiping Mansion will be sent to prison."

When Li Jing, the bearded guest and the others heard it, they were shocked. Although they lowered their voices, they couldn't hide their excitement: "Is this true? Second Young Master, you also know that Luo Shaobao has voted for Wagang Village?"

Then he suddenly said: "No wonder, no wonder... Otherwise, if Wei Wentong's skill is used with a flower knife, who can take his handy weapon to kill? Luo Cheng's skill is none other than Luo Cheng."

Li Chunfeng was even more overjoyed and said: "I was worried that Luo Cheng would defeat Yuanba, and that the Sui Dynasty would add another powerful general. I didn't expect...that would be great."

Up to now, Li Shimin could only admit it, cupped his fists and apologized slightly: "Everyone, I did know about little brother Luo Cheng for a long time, it's not that Shimin didn't say anything, it's just that this matter is very important, it concerns little brother Luo Cheng and the whole of Beiping." The less people know about the safety of the family, the better."

"Second Young Master, this matter is really important, so it's not convenient to talk about it, but since Yang Lin already knows this secret, little brother Luo Cheng is now in a dangerous situation." Li Chunfeng said.

Li Shimin nodded, then turned to look at Li Yuanji: "Where's the messenger?"

Li Yuanji put his arms around his chest and said, "Chop it up and feed it to the dog."

Li Shimin: "..."

"I just want a word from you, Luo Cheng, will you save me or not?"

Li Shimin considered it silent.

The more he remained silent, the more anxious Li Yuanji felt, saying that the friendship between you and Luo Cheng in the past was all fake, but now that you are needed, you are timid, don't you dare.

When Li Yuanji was in a hurry, he couldn't hold back his words: "Er Hu, don't let me underestimate you. Aren't you the most loyal? Luo Cheng has saved the lives of our Li family. If you don't To save him is to be a wolf-hearted dog."

Li Shimin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I didn't say no."

"Then what do you want to do for so long?"

"At any rate, let me think about what to do. You also know that my father is conservative. In the past, there were no counselors who saw the bad deeds of the Sui Dynasty. When they persuaded my father to find a way out, my father always shook his head and reprimanded him. Take this time To put it bluntly, Yang Guang ordered my Li family to build the Jinyang Palace within a month, which is simply impossible. If it is not completed within the time limit, it will be punished by copying and beheading. Our Li family has been forced to do this , my father didn't even accept everyone's opinions—on the contrary, it's impossible for him to openly confront Yang Lin for Luo Cheng now."

Li Jing thought for a while and said: "Second Young Master is right. I have persuaded the Duke several times, but the Duke is conservative and only asked me to mention it later."

Li Shimin frowned and said: "If there is no father's order to transfer troops, it would be very rare for people to stop Yang Lin."

Just when the few people were at a loss, they heard Yuan Tiangang, who had been standing silent all the time, stroking his beard and asking with squinted eyes: "That's not impossible."

Yuan Tiangang was mentioned earlier, he was one of Li Yuanba's masters, he was good at physiognomy and strategy, and he always realized what he said, so he was favored by Li Shimin and Li Yuan.

"What is the master's strategy?"

Yuan Tiangang said slowly: "Nowadays the world is in chaos. Those who can be named, there are [-] rebellious kings, and those who can't be named. There are countless uprising teams, large and small. This time Yang Guang went south to Yangzhou to see Qionghua , For these people, it can be said to be a good opportunity to rob and kill the faint king, it is better to order people to publicize it, saying that the eighteenth road anti-king learned that Yang Guang went south to Yangzhou, and planned to form an alliance to intercept and kill the faint king on the way."

Yuan Tiangang paused and said: "In this way, there will be chaos in the city. At that time, you, the second son, will go and ask Yang Guang for orders, and dispatch troops to guard all the city gates by guarding against rebels who secretly enter the city. Stop, if there is any news from Yang Lin's messenger, or any other memorial, stop it first. It will only be a few days, as soon as the people from Beiping Mansion arrive, Luo Shaobao can leave safely."

Yuan Tiangang coughed lightly, and said a little uncomfortably, "If you find a messenger like Shi Taibao...Third Young Master, I will count on you."

He couldn't let the Second Young Master bear such a cruel reputation, some things really had to be done by certain people.You must know that he has seen the face for the second son, and he has the appearance of an emperor!This is also one of the reasons why he, who has always liked to travel around the world, frequently stays in Taiyuan City.

Li Yuanji didn't have the twists and turns in Yuan Tiangang's head, he was happy that the problem was solved.He knew that Erhu was cunning and would always find a way, as expected.As for who would do it, it's not within his consideration at all, isn't it just killing someone, there are so many hounds in his backyard, no more than a few are not enough to eat.

After solving the troublesome matter, Li Yuanji desperately wanted to go to Luo Cheng's courtyard to ask for credit, but as soon as he walked into his courtyard, he saw Li An was there.

As soon as Li An saw his master coming, he hurried up and said softly: "Master, where have you been? Finally, you are here. I was chopping meat just now, so I heard someone report that Yu Wencheng entered." Luo Shaobao's yard, why don't you hurry up and watch it for you."

Li Yuanji was cloudy, but he didn't forget the business: "Where's the corpse, are you done?"

Li An chuckled, sniffed, and said proudly: "Small knives are good at knives, but Pao Ding Jie Niu is nothing more than that."

Li Yuanji was too lazy to listen to his bragging, so he glanced at him and asked, "How long have you been in?"

Li An lowered his voice and said, "It's only a quarter of an hour since the spies came to report, and I rushed over to investigate."

A quarter of an hour?A quarter of an hour can do many things, such as confession!

You must know that Yu Wencheng's shrinking turtle has not confessed to Luo Cheng yet, so don't let him have the opportunity to be alone with Luo Cheng!

Li Yuanji couldn't stand still when he thought of this, he turned to his side and said, "You continue to guard here, I'll go in and have a look."

Li An nodded and said: "Don't worry, third son, I will definitely guard this door, and no one will be allowed in. But Luo Shaobao, take it easy."

Seeing his unclear expression, Li An stretched out his right arm in a timely manner, clenched his fist, and waved it twice in front of him: "Master, there is a difference between beating people often and being good at beating people. You belong to the former, Luo Shaobao It belongs to the latter. If the Overlord can't force his bow, if the situation is not right, then run back quickly." You are really no match for him.

In the end, Li An was afraid that his father would be hit, so he quickly added a sentence that seemed to be comforting: "Master, don't take it to heart, it's not shameful to escape from Luo Shaobao's hands."

Li Yuanji's face was completely blackened, and he growled, "Get lost."

Li An nodded in understanding, and walked out of the yard while responding: "OK, the little one will go right away, the little one has a tight mouth, if you see it, just pretend you didn't see it."

Seeing that Li Yuanji was about to stretch his legs to kick again, Li An clutched his buttocks and ran fast.

Li Yuanji straightened his robe just now, and was about to cough lightly to indicate that someone had come in, but in view of the benefits he had gained from listening to the corner, Li Yuanji slowed down and tiptoed into the front yard , and touched the door timidly, and put his ears lightly on the door and window.

As the day of leaving got closer, Luo Cheng became more and more irritable.In the final analysis, he was worried about that elm head.

Today, Fang Fang wanted to go out to look for Yuwen Chengdu, he never expected to see that person wandering outside his yard, so without further ado, he led him into the house.

Luo Cheng had a lot to say to Yu Wencheng, but he didn't know how to say it.After all, he was a general of the Sui Dynasty, and he had turned against Yang Guang in the past, but he didn't make it clear after all.Today, the two of them can get along peacefully because they have the same identity and are both generals of the Sui Dynasty.If...they were clearly on the opposite side, he didn't know how Yuwen Cheng would treat him.

He trusted Yuwen Chengdu, but he couldn't put the lives of his father, mother, concubine, brother, and the entire Beiping Mansion on him.Therefore, once he left, he would not come back, he did not tell him.

Yu Wencheng watched him struggle for a long time, but didn't say a word, he just pretended not to see his hesitation, and asked: "The army from Beiping Mansion will arrive soon, right?"

Luo Cheng was thinking about something, and replied sullenly: "Yes."

Yu Wencheng's throat was difficult. He obviously had a lot to say, but it was difficult to utter a single word: "Take care all the way."

Luo Cheng raised his head and glanced at Yuwen Chengdu, who had a normal expression. He always felt that he was a little weird today, but he couldn't tell what went wrong, so he said seriously: "Yuwen Chengdu, Yang Guang is not a wise king, and good birds choose trees to live in. Why did you have to hang yourself from a tree!"

Yu Wencheng smiled wryly: "I am a subject of the Sui Dynasty, and I am the General Tianbao of the Sui Dynasty. The emperor has kindness to me. I am not loyal to the Sui Dynasty, but to the emperor. Who can I be loyal to?"

Luo Cheng became a little anxious: "Even if you are dedicated to the Great Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang doesn't care about your life at all. What else would he do besides eating, drinking and playing with people's lives?"

Yu Wencheng was silent for a long time before saying: "That is also the emperor, I hope he can wake up as soon as possible, clear up the imperial court, and return the people to a prosperous and healthy world."

Luo Cheng knew that it would not happen overnight to change his deep-rooted thoughts, so he said angrily: "Forget it, I won't say anything, you won't listen to anything you say. But—"

Luo Cheng changed his voice and said: "You and I are brothers, you have no way out, you still have me, if one day, you change your mind, you must come to me."

Yu Wencheng looked at his serious expression, and clearly saw his own struggle from his pure eyes, the more he wanted to escape, the more unwilling he was to let go.

Yu Wencheng took a deep breath and said, "You and I are not brothers, Luo Cheng, listen to me—"

"Hey, there is not even a waiter in this huge courtyard." Li Yuanji, who was in the corner, was startled, raised his voice quickly, pushed the door open and walked in.

Yu Wencheng's complexion changed, and he swallowed the words. Seeing that Luo Cheng listened to his words, his expression remained blank, and he wanted to explain but couldn't open his mouth.It was hard for him to muster up the courage, emotion overcame reason, and he wanted to explain before he left, but now he was interrupted, but he couldn't speak anymore.

"I have something important to tell Luo Cheng, should General Tianbao avoid it first?" Li Yuanji asked straight to the point, asking for advice, but his eyes were unceremoniously chasing him away.

Yu Wencheng didn't want to leave at first, but Luo Cheng had no objection, so he pursed his lips and walked sideways past him.

Luo Chengna didn't have any objections, he was suddenly stunned by Yu Wencheng's sentence "You and I are not brothers".He co-authored himself to be passionate, if he didn't regard himself as a brother, and based on his die-hard loyalty to the Sui Dynasty and Yang Guang, why would he cover it up for him again and again?Luo Cheng was a little confused.

Although he yelled like an elm-headed elm-head all day long, and he might not always give Yu Wencheng a good face on weekdays, but he knew clearly in his heart that he had long regarded him as a good brother, and now someone poured cold water on him It's really cool to the bottom of my heart.Xin said, at this moment, I haven't clearly got rid of the Sui Dynasty, and I am against the Sui Dynasty, so you are in a hurry to get rid of me, then if you know that I will never go back, and take the whole family to Wagang, I will still be Wagangzhai When you are the Great General Protecting the Country, you can't wait to kill me to vent your anger?

Thinking of this possibility, Luo Cheng's face suddenly turned pale, and Yu Wencheng left without even noticing.
