I'm a Buddhist foster child

The hoarse and happy voice was so familiar, but he didn't speak in such a tone on weekdays, and every time he spoke, he carried a thick and honest temperament.

The moonlight sprinkled on his face, slowly revealing his face completely.

——Anping Wang Xiaoyan!

Xiao Yan walked over step by step, the honesty and honesty on his face completely disappeared, replaced by an ambitious smile, the corners of his lips were raised mockingly, he sized Yang Jian up and down, as if he was sizing up his prey, and said faintly: "it's me."

Xiao Yan smiled mockingly, and said: "Why, Lord Sui asked himself how to predict things like a god, but he didn't think about it? Wu Chao's accomplice is me. I'm afraid even Wu Chao himself didn't think about it."

Everyone thought that Wu Chao's accomplice was a member of Chen, how could they have thought that Wu Chao's accomplice was actually Liang's Anping Wang Xiaoyan!

Yang Jian was holding the little bun Yang Guang, surrounded by soldiers and horses of the Chen people, although the soldiers and horses may not be many, but it is absolutely no problem to surround the two of them.

Yang Jian's eyes were very calm, without panic at all, he looked at Xiao Yan, and said, "It must be... the other palaces have not been flooded with water?"

Xiao Yan nodded calmly, and said: "Yes, of course there is no water diversion, don't you think about it, it's winter now, how can you divert water to flood the city and submerge the entire other palace?"

Chen people are "water tyrants". Compared with northerners, Chen people are better at water warfare, while northerners talk about water changes. Xiao Yan took advantage of this feature and deliberately used clever tricks to get Yang Jian and others to fight against each other. The back mountain of the palace, the mountain road behind the mountain is rugged, so that the least amount of soldiers and horses can be used to deal with Yang Jian, the emperor of the dynasty.

Yang Jian smiled, at this moment, he could still laugh, and said: "Wu Chao, the cipher text, and the King of Hejian who deciphered the cipher text were all arranged by you. your chess piece."

When the assassin was being caught, Xiao Yan was always there, so Xiao Yan already knew that they were going to catch the assassin, so...

"You deliberately arranged for Wu Chao to throw himself into the trap." Yang Jian said clearly.

In fact, Wu Chao didn't know that it was a trap. Xiao Yan deliberately arranged for Wu Chao to throw himself into the trap to take the blame for himself. In addition, Wu Chao was from Chen, so it seemed reasonable.

Yang Jian said: "Those assassins, you killed them."

"That's right," Xiao Yan said with a cruel and gloomy face, "It's me."

Yang Jian also said: "After Wu Chao appeared, the cipher text followed immediately. It was you who guided us, saying that these are the cipher texts of the Chen people, and also recommended the King of Hejian who can decipher the cipher text."

Hejian Wang Xiaocen probably didn't know about it, he could indeed decipher the ciphertext, so Xiao Yan arranged this move to confirm the news that the other palace was flooded.

Yang Jian said with a smile: "You are too clever. On the one hand, you sent people to investigate and said that you found the soldiers and horses of the Chen people, but there were very few of them. I don't know what they are doing. On the other hand, you are very Familiar with Xiao Cen's ability, Xiao Cen's ciphertext answer came at just the right time. In this way, the news of the flooding of the other palace was confirmed in two ways, which made everyone terrified. In the end, it was you... who proposed to let everyone go to the back mountain to escape. Shui, this series of schemes are all schemes arranged by you...I want to admit that you have planned every step of the way, and your schemes are extremely ingenious. Among the people I know, your schemes and schemes can be ranked among the top five."

"It's a pity..." Yang Jian shook his head and let out a long sigh when he said this.

"What's the pity?" Xiao Yan sneered and said, "Now that things are up to now, even if you are eloquent, can you still escape the catastrophe? The one who should be pity is you!"

Yang Jian shook his head and said, "No, I feel sorry for you."

Xiao Yan frowned, he had seen many people, but he had never seen such a leisurely person in the face of danger, Yang Jian's expression and behavior did not seem nervous at all.

Xiao Yan couldn't help asking again: "What's the pity?"

At this time, Yang Guang, who was being hugged, suddenly spoke coldly, with a little milky voice, sounding like he was pretending to be an adult, and said, "It's a pity that the opponent you met is us."

Yang Jian said: "To tell the truth, you may not believe it, but I already guessed it was you."

"What?!" Xiao Yan obviously didn't believe it, squinting at Yang Jian.

Yang Jian smiled and said: "Isn't this problem very simple? Obviously, in this other palace, there are not many people who can do things. There are two most convenient people, one is in charge of my Great Sui Imperial Guard General Wei Yi, the chariot rider, and the other... is King Anping who is in charge of your Liang people's guards, and that's you."

Yang Jian shrugged his shoulders and said: "Wei Yi is the person I know best. He usually flatters people and is too timid. He will never do such things that are far-fetched and affect his official career. If he has the time, Wei Yi It must be serious to please me more. Besides Wei Yi, isn’t it you, King Anping.”

Yang Jian also said: "You deliberately proposed to pursue the Chen people in the rear, but in fact you want to break away from the main force, so that you can join your Chen army and catch me all in one go?"

In fact, Yang Jian didn't say anything, which is also crucial, and that is Yang Guang.

Yang Guang is a person who has experienced a lifetime. In his previous life, Anping Wang Xiaoyan looked honest and honest, but in fact he was not a fuel-efficient lamp. So they went out of Da Sui and Daliang, took refuge in the Chen people, and wanted to use the Chen people's troops to fight back.

Therefore, Yang Guang paid more attention to it, and deliberately told Yang Jian about this matter, so as to be prepared.

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "You already knew?"

Yang Jian said: "It's neither early nor late, but just enough."

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes even more, frowned, and said, "Then why did you come up the mountain?"

"Naturally..." Yang Jian said: "Cooperating with you to finish this stage play is naturally to attract all the Chen Jun lurking around the other palace."

Yang Guang said coldly: "The time has been delayed enough, why don't you come out?"

His voice just fell, "Wow!!" It was the voice of soldiers, and the imperial guards from the other palace rushed up quickly, flooded like sea water. Although the Chen people surrounded Yang Jian and Yang Guang, the number was too large. Less, there are only fifty people in total, which is simply not enough to see.

Wei Yi, dressed in black armor, came striding forward, raised his hands and said, "Catch them all!"

"Yes!"

The imperial guards rushed up, but Chen's soldiers hadn't reacted yet, they were pushed to the ground one by one, and they were all escorted. Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Xiao Yan moved his eyes slightly, turned around and left immediately, wanting to take advantage of the chaos and escape.

He turned around and rushed into the darkness, Wei Yi hurriedly shouted: "Oops! He ran away!"

"Can't run." Yang Jian said with a smile: "Of course someone will stop him."

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Xiao Yan didn't expect that his meticulous planning turned into nothing for fetching water from a bamboo basket. He immediately plunged into the darkness, preparing to escape from the forest, but he didn't know that he had just taken two steps, "Shuh—" A bright silver light flashed over, right in front of Xiao Yan's neck, if Xiao Yan hadn't reacted quickly and stopped in time, his neck would have bumped into the edge of the sword.

Xiao Yan took a closer look, and there was someone staring at him in the darkness. It was the owner of the sword, wasn't he the King of Hejian, Xiao Cen?

Holding the saber in his hand, Xiao Cen restrained Xiao Yan, and said with a sneer, "Okay, so you are the one who instigated the assassin. At that time, you were running around hypocritically, pleading for me. Fortunately, I am still grateful, bah ! So you are the one with ulterior motives!"

Xiao Cen stopped Xiao Yan, and a large number of people behind him had already rushed over. Besides the people he saw just now, the Liang Lord Xiao Kui also rushed over.

Surrounded by the sea-like crowd, Xiao Yan's face slowly relaxed, as if he didn't intend to run away, he chuckled lightly and said, "I was caught by you today, if you want to kill me, I will cut you to pieces, so please do as you please."

Xiao Kui, the owner of Liang, came over, his face was gloomy, his eyes were full of great anger, he stared at Xiao Yan, and said: "Among brothers, you are the most honest, and I have always regarded you as my right-hand man, Xiao Yan, You actually united with the Chen people, which is too disappointing!"

Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Xiao Kui, ignoring the sword on his neck, his honest face smiled with a hint of arrogance, it was not at all the same as the honest appearance in the past, I don't know which one is the real Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan said: "Xiao Kui, Xiao Kui, have you ever thought about why your two younger brothers rebelled one after another?"

Speaking of this, Hejian Wang Xiaocen's face froze, and the matter of treason was the last thing he wanted to bring up.

Xiao Kui narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Yan, what do you want to say?"

"What did you say?" Xiao Yan asked back, "Have you ever reflected on why your younger brothers turned against you? Because you are incompetent!!!"

Xiao Yan's last sentence almost came out in a roar. His honesty was like a mask, which was shattered and shattered by the shock.

Xiao Yan's jaw was cracked, his eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his neck were bulging. He roared angrily, "Xiao Kui! Because of your incompetence! Incompetence! What are you?! As the leader of the Liang people, you treat the Sui people You bowed your knees, flattered and flattered you, and even went so far as to proclaim yourself a vassal! You have lost all of my Liang's face! How do you deserve to be a man of Liang?!"

Listening to his words, Xiao Cen's voice became tense, and he couldn't help but look at Liang Zhu Xiao Kui. In fact, Xiao Yan's words touched Xiao Cen's heart. ", every time he speaks, he is "Chen", Xiao Kui represents the face of the whole Liang.

but……

Xiao Kui, the owner of the Liang Dynasty, listened to Xiao Yan's roar and asked, with a calm expression, and said: "What about you? Fifth, what about you? What is it that you collude with Chen people? Yes, I am indeed humbled, because My Jiangling is only a small area, and it is in the gap between the north and the south. It is a county with less troops than others. If you want to survive and keep the people, you must sacrifice your dignity. The Sui people gave us enough food during the earthquake , and what did the Chen people do? Taking the opportunity to plunder and expand their territory, what should I do?!"

Xiao Kuiyue said, the more excited he got, his eyes turned red, and he said with bloodshot eyes, "Xiao Yan, have you ever thought about helping the Chen people to do things and attracting the Chen people's soldiers into the country? What should I do!? At that time, you will be a sinner through the ages!"

Xiao Yan and Xiao Kui looked at each other, they were tit-for-tat, and both of them were tall types, Xiao Cen, the eighth boy, suddenly had a bad premonition, always feeling that they might strike at the next moment.

Xiao Cen didn't know why he had such a premonition, maybe it was because both of them were blushing and thick-necked, looking as if they wanted to pick each other's skin off, but...

Xiao Cen thought to himself, but Xiao Kui is the owner of the owner, Xiao Yan, the fifth brother, shouldn't be able to beat someone?

Bang-! !

Just as Xiao Cen thought of this, he heard a loud noise, Xiao Yan really rushed out, ignoring the edge of the sword on his neck, rushed out and punched Xiao Kui in the face.

Xiao Kui was punched in the nose, and his cheek was turned to one side. Immediately, there was a long stream of blood from his nose.

The veins on Xiao Kui's face twitched twice, and he said, "Do you dare to hit the widow?"

Xiao Yan sneered and said, "How about beating you? As the leader of the beam, you can't strengthen my beam! I'm beating you, a worthless wretch! Heh..."

Bang! !

Xiao Yan's voice fell silent, Xiao Kui also rushed up, and even punched Xiao Yan in return, Xiao Yan's face was also turned away, and he raised his hand to wipe it, and his nose bleeds.

Xiao Cen, who was the closest, was dumbfounded, and at this moment, the sound of "bang bang!" sounded, and Xiao Yan, the king of Anping, and Xiao Kui, the lord of Liang, actually started fighting each other. There is no trick, just beating each other with brute force.

"Don't..." Xiao Cen was dumbfounded, and after reacting for a long time, he dropped his sword and ran over to start a fight: "Don't fight! Stop fighting! Stop!"

"stop!"

"stop fighting!"

Yang Jian hugged the little bun and Yang Guang smiled as if he was watching the fun, and said, "The fight was quite lively."

Xiao Cen ran over and quickly said: "Son of Heaven, stop them quickly and let them stop fighting."

Yang Jian said: "I can't control it. Didn't you hear them say that it's because I'm fighting. If I persuade you to fight now, the more you persuade, the more chaotic you will be."

Xiao Cen's eyelids twitched. To be precise, the two brothers were fighting because of their attachment to Da Sui. The words of fighting because of Yang Jian sounded weird, but fortunately Yang Jian was able to say it without blushing. Not jumping.

Xiao Cen and Xiao Kui fought each other, Yang Jian smiled and said, "Oh, it's still a turn-based system, each person punches each other, that's fair."

Although Yang Guang didn't understand what "turn-based system" was, he still felt that it was not a good word, so he rubbed his forehead with his little hands.

Those two people were tired from beating, so they stopped, and they all fell to the ground in the forest dripping with sweat, their noses and faces swollen.

Yang Jian said, "Have you beaten enough? Then take it away."

Wei Yi wanted to come up to escort Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes. His face was covered with blood, his eye sockets were blue, and his cheeks were swollen, but it didn't hinder his cold and sharp aura, which scared Wei Yishen The hand that went out circled half a circle, but instead helped Liang Zhu Xiao Kui to his feet, and said: "Liang Zhu, I will help you..."

A group of people came down from the back mountain and returned to the other palace in a mighty way. They were not submerged in the water at all. The whole other palace was in good condition, exactly the same as when they left.

Yang Jian said: "It's late today, everyone should go back to rest first, and the interrogation will be held tomorrow. As for Anping Wang Xiaoyan, he will be put in prison for the time being."

"Yes!"

The imperial guards escorted Anping Wang Xiaoyan into the prison, and he didn't know if Xiao Yan was tired from the beating, or his heart was ashamed. Anyway, he didn't resist and was sent to the prison quietly.

Wu Chao in the prison heard the sound of the chains, stood up from the ground, looked at the person, and said with a smile: "Hey, do your clansmen of the Liang people have addictions? Just sent away a Hejian king, and this time the Anping king Going to jail again?"

Xiao Yan ignored him at all, and was escorted into the cell without batting an eyelid, and slowly sat down, slumped on the ground.

Just as the guards were about to lock the cells and leave, at this moment, Hejian Wang Xiaocen came and did not let the guards lock the door, walked into the cell by himself, stood in front of Xiao Yan, looked down at Xiao Yan condescendingly, Say, "I have something I want to ask you."

Xiao Yan didn't move, as if he didn't hear it.

Xiao Cen narrowed his eyes and said: "When the assassin was caught, the owner asked me to take charge of the assassin. You told me that the night is long and the dream is full of dreams. You asked me to interrogate the assassin overnight to avoid any changes. Did you deliberately frame me?"

Before the assassin was killed, Hejian Wang Xiao Cen was the last one to go to the cell and meet the assassin. After Xiao Cen saw the assassin, the assassin's throat was cut and all of them were killed. This is really a coincidence.

Looking back now, Xiao Cen remembered that he had listened to the words of his fifth brother Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan inadvertently asked him to interrogate the assassin, saying that the assassin was very cunning, and things would change later, etc. Xiao Cen went there in the middle of the night. Interrogate the assassin.

Thinking about it now, it was simply a plan that Xiao Yan had laid out in advance, wanting to attract attention and become a scapegoat for himself!

Xiao Yan raised his head slowly, and finally there was movement, without stuttering at all, he said, "Yes."

Wu Chao listened with his ears open, and from eight feet away, he interrupted suddenly, "So my accomplice is you! I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it! No wonder you two brothers take turns to go to jail! Liang people are like this Interesting?"

"you shut up!"

"To shut up!"

Xiao Cen and Xiao Yan almost spoke in unison, Wu Chao said with a smile: "All right, I'll shut up, you two continue to talk, I won't hinder you."

The veins on Xiao Cen's forehead were throbbing, he clenched his hands into fists, restrained his anger, and said, "It's a blessing that I trust you so much! You use me to take the blame!?"

"Trust?" Xiao Yan smiled faintly and raised his head. Although he was sitting on the ground, he did not lose his momentum at all. He looked at Xiao Cen mockingly and said, "Don't talk so nicely, trust? No, old man Ah old eight, you have never looked at me from the beginning to the end, yes, among the brothers, my aptitude is the dullest, and you are the smartest, you look down on me!!"

Xiao Cen's face froze, because Xiao Yan was right, this was his inner voice.For a long time, he thought that Xiao Yan, the fifth old man, was an honest and honest person, and such a person was easy to bully. In addition, Xiao Yan had always been quiet, so Xiao Cen didn't regard him as an enemy at all, and didn't even put him on the list. How could I know, but Xiao Yan slapped me hard in the end!

Xiao Yan's smile widened, his laughter was hoarse and joyful, and he said, "How is it? It's not bad to be imprisoned by the person you despise the most? This time you finally looked at me? No, it's different , everyone will look at me differently..."

bang——

When Xiao Yan said this, Xiao Cen suddenly moved, raised his leg suddenly, kicked Xiao Yan directly, and said coldly, "You owe me this!"

After all, "Boom!" He slammed into the prison door and walked away...

Yang Jian took a trip to the back mountain, did some exercise before going to bed, and slept soundly. When he woke up, it was dawn. It is winter now, and the dawn proved that it was getting late.

Others did not sleep as soundly as Yang Jian, this night was destined to be a sleepless night, Xiao Kui, Lord of Liang, Xiao Cen, King of Hejian, etc., all did not sleep all night, just waiting for Xiao Yan to be interrogated today.

They got up early in the morning and waited, but they didn't wait for Yang Jian. They asked Zhongguan He Quan several times, and He Quan said calmly, "The master hasn't got up yet."

Yang Jian was full of sleep and stretched his waist. Yang Guang, the little bun, was already dressed neatly, sitting at the desk and diligently reviewing the documents. Seeing that Yang Jian was awake, he just cast a calm look and said lightly. : "Father is awake? Master Liang has been here six times."

Yang Jian smiled and said, "So persistent?"

Yang Jian sat up and put on his clothes. When Zhongguan He Quan heard the voice inside, he knew that the owner had woken up. He came in from outside and put the washing utensils in order.

Yang Jian said: "I'll sort it out right away, and I'll notify Lord Liang that we can go to trial."

"Yes."

When Yang Jian arrived at the main hall with his little bun, Yang Guang, all the others were already there, and the sound of chains rang out. Xiao Yan was wearing a shackle around his neck and chains wrapped around his body, and walked into the main hall step by step. Was escorted up.

Xiao Yan walked up, and it was the same type of wound as the owner of Liang Xiao Kui. Both of them had blue eye sockets, broken mouth corners, and swollen cheeks. Their good faces were colorfully painted, how wonderful.

Yang Jian sat down on the seat and said, "Xiao Yan, I ask you, did you silence those assassins?"

Xiao Yan sneered, and said: "So what? Those people are animals that are not as good as pigs and dogs. When I bought them, I didn't want them to live."

Xiao Yan was very dissatisfied with the fact that Xiao Kui, the owner of the Liang Dynasty, was attached to the Sui people. He felt that Xiao Kui had no backbone and lost the dignity of Daliang, so he turned to Chen Ren in a rage. , it is best to kill the new emperor of the Sui Dynasty, so that it can be done once and for all.

Xiao Yan needed to arrange killers, so he bribed a group of assassins with a lot of money. Most of these assassins were horse bandits or water bandits.

Xiao Yan was also very noble, he looked down on these assassins very much, so he didn't want to let them live early in the morning, and made up his mind to kill them to silence them.

Xiao Yan said calmly: "I killed them all."

When Xiao Cen heard this, he felt chills down his back. It wasn't because Xiao Yan had killed so many assassins, but because he remembered the knife techniques used by those assassins. All of them cut their throats with one knife. How can a powerful martial art be so crisp?

For so many years, they were clearly brothers, and they were all people who looked up and down, but Xiao Cen didn't realize at all that Xiao Yan, the fifth brother he looked down upon, had such superb martial arts, Xiao Yan had been hiding it very deeply.

Xiao Yan laughed lightly, rather self-deprecating, and said, "I'm in your hands, you can kill me or cut me up... Whatever you want."

Xiao Kui, the owner of Liang, did not make a decision immediately, but looked at Yang Jian instead.

Xiao Kui's act of asking Yang Jian for instructions seemed to have offended Xiao Yan again, thinking that Xiao Kui was a lackey of the Sui people and was not worthy to be the leader of Liang at all.

Yang Jian seemed to see through Xiao Yan's thoughts, smiled, and said, "King Anping, do you think that if you were the master of Liang, you Liang people would not be so humble and without dignity?"

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Jian, but he didn't speak.

Yang Jian also said: "Indeed, without such a thing as dignity, one cannot survive. But have you ever thought about why Master Liang attached himself to me, Da Sui? Master Liang is your elder brother, don't you know better than me? He, when he was the prince, was he the same as you, insisting on the incomparable dignity in his bones?"

Xiao Yan and Xiao Cen were taken aback at the same time, when they were princes?It is clear that that period of time passed not long ago, but they can't remember it anymore. The two only remember that at that time, the brothers got along very harmoniously, and there was no situation where brothers fought against each other at all.

Yang Jian said for the third time: "What made your elder brother give up the dignity in his bones? Isn't it for the people of the Liang people? The grain bought by the people, the clothes for the refugees, and the camps to prevent the Chen people from invading are not used for money. In exchange, it was exchanged with your brother's dignity."

When Liang Zhu Xiao Kui heard this, his throat was a little dry, and he swallowed stiffly.

For so many years, Jiangling lived in a gap between the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Xiao Kui's father died of depression, and so did he. Day and night, he had nightmares. His own people and subjects?

Everyone thought that Master Liang was glamorous, but when he actually sat in this position, Xiao Kui realized that it was too difficult. He was once a noble man, but what was the use of that? He could exchange food for his people, Or can you change weapons for your own army?

Xiao Kui has always been wronged in his heart, but these grievances cannot be told to others at all.Before the people, you must pretend to be a lord who loves the people like a son; before your brothers, you must pretend to be a loving elder brother; before the enemy army, you must pretend to be a watertight king.

These……

All suppressed Xiao Kui, and finally had to abandon his dignity.

He never thought that his brother didn't understand him, but Yang Jian, who had never met him, could see through him.

The hall fell into silence, a deathly silence. Yang Jian's words seemed to remind Xiao Cen and Xiao Yan a lot. Over the years, everyone has lived in their own pain, and no one has seen Xiao Kui's pain...

"Tap-tap-"

At this moment, Wei Yi suddenly rushed in with big strides, shouting: "My lord! The Duke of Shu came suddenly and asked for an audience!"

Yuchi Youqi?

Yuchi Youqi should stay in Chang'an, but if he rushed to another palace suddenly, there must be something urgent.

Yang Jian said: "Escort King Anping and pass it on to the Duke of Shu."

"Yes." Wei Yi immediately commanded the imperial guards to escort Xiao Yan down. After Xiao Yan left, Chi Youqi, Duke of Shu, quickly strode in from outside.

Yuchi Youqi bowed and said, "My respect to the Son of Heaven!"

Yang Jian nodded and said, "Shu Gong doesn't need to be too polite."

Yuchi Youqi stood up and said hastily: "Son! I heard that there are assassins in the other palace! And Chen Ren? Is the Son of Heaven injured?"

Yang Jian smiled, stretched out his wide sleeves, and said, "How come? If there are assassins, you should be worried about the assassins, not me, little corn."

"It's true..." Yuchi Youqi whispered.

Yang Guang couldn't stand it anymore, "Ahem!" After coughing twice, Yang Jian remembered that Yuchi Youqi came suddenly, he must have something urgent to report.

Yang Jian said: "The Duke of Shu came here in a hurry. I don't know what it is?"

Yuchi Youqi was so happy to see that Yang Jian was fine, he almost forgot about the urgent matter, and hurriedly cupped his hands and reported, "Return to the Son of Heaven, the general manager of Jingzhou has sent the military report, Chen is ready to move, and seems to have a move to attack Jiangling."

"噗!" Xiao Kui, the owner of Liang, immediately stood up.

The Chen people in the south have long wanted to capture Jiangling. Jiangling's geographical location is superior, and it is simply the gateway to the north. If they occupy Jiangling, they can go north and expand the territory of the Chen people.

Over the years, the Liang people were supported by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Chen people could not swallow Jiangling in one go. Now, taking advantage of the opportunity of the change of court in the north, Nan Chen felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. In addition, there was a rebellion by Xiao Yan. These Chen people must have counted. It's time.

Yang Jian squinted his eyes and said, "It's not too late, go back to Chang'an immediately."

He said to Liang Lord Xiao Kui: "Don't worry, Liang Lord, the land of Jiangling is not only the land of your Liang people, but also the barrier of our Great Sui Dynasty. I will never sit idly by."

Xiao Kui, the owner of Liang, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Son of Heaven!"

Without any delay, everyone set off to return to Chang'an on the same day, planning to hold a court meeting immediately after returning to discuss ways to deal with the Chen people.

Along the way, the young prince Yang Guang looked a little worried, as if he was thinking about something.

Yang Jian stretched out his index finger, touched Yang Guang's small forehead, and said, "My son, don't frown at such a young age, such a cute face will have wrinkles."

Yang Guang: "..." I always feel that my father is "molesting" myself.

Yang Guang shook his head, pushed aside Yang Jian's hand, and said, "Father, there is something that my son needs to explain."

Yang Jian said: "Didn't you steal red dates and glutinous rice yesterday?"

Yang Guang: "..."

Yang Guang's face was serious, he was a little stiff, and said: "Son, what the son wants to say to the emperor is a serious matter!"

Yang Jian was amused by him, and said, "All right, tell me, father and father are listening."

Yang Guang pondered and said: "According to my son's memory, the Chen people attacked Jiangling. This battle... was won by the Chen people."

Yang Jian raised his eyebrows, no wonder his son was so preoccupied, it was because of this.

Yang Guang also said: "The Chen people sent veteran Wu Mingche, Chun Yuliang, and Zhang Zhaoda. Wu Mingche led the troops as vanguards and there were [-] troops. After that, the total number of troops invested should reach [-]. All the Chen people have The elite are almost in full force."

And what about the other side?At that time, it was still in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty on the other side sent a total of about [-] troops, and it was led by Yu Wenzhi who had almost no experience.

The final result is predictable.

Yang Jian patted Yang Guang's small shoulder and said, "Don't worry my son, father and father won't send a grassroots team there."

Now it's not the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but the Great Sui...

Yang Guang also said: "My son is still a little worried. We don't have many talents suitable for water warfare in the court. Hao Abao is indeed suitable for water warfare, but it is still difficult for Hao Abao alone to face Chen's [-] troops."

The [-] troops did not rush from one direction at a time, but came from different routes. In this way, only Hao Abao was not enough.

Yang Jian raised his lips and smiled, and said, "Son, don't worry, father and father have already thought of an excellent candidate, perfectly suitable for water battles."

"Who is it?" Yang Guang said.

Yang Jian's smile widened, and it was malicious...

When everyone returned to Chang'an, Yang Jian asked people to prepare for the court meeting, while he himself summoned Hejian Wang Xiaocen.

Although Xiao Cen was from Liang, he could no longer stay in Jiangling because of the rebellion, so he was "appointed" to the Great Sui Dynasty, that is to say, he is now at the beck and call of Yang Jian.

Xiao Cen saluted respectfully and said, "My respect is to the Son of Heaven."

"The king of Hejian doesn't need to be too polite," Yang Jian said with a smile, "I asked you to come here because I want you to come with me."

Xiao Cen really wanted to ask Yang Jian where he was going, but he didn't dare to ask, yes, he didn't dare.

Because Yang Jian's smile was full of malicious intentions, Xiao Cen's back felt chills, and he really couldn't ask.

Yang Jian asked someone to prepare a car, and Hejian Wang Xiaocen followed, took Yang Guang and his son out of the palace, and went to the prison.

When Xiao Cen saw the cart stop at the prison gate, he suddenly had a bad feeling, and his heart trembled wildly. Could it be...

Yang Jian got out of the car, took his son down by himself, went to the prison, and quickly walked to the door of a cell to stand still.

The ominous premonition in Xiao Cen's heart expanded and turned into reality!

Isn't it his fifth brother, Anping Wang Xiaoyan, who is being held in the cell?

Xiao Yan stood still in the cell, with his back facing the cell door, and looked up at the small air window above the cell. The wet cell is much brighter.

According to his martial arts, he must have heard everyone's footsteps, but he didn't turn his head, as if he was a deaf man.

Yang Jian didn't care, and said with a smile: "Prince Anping, I brought your brother to visit you."

Xiao Cen: "..." Why did you want to bring yourself along?

Xiao Yan still didn't move, just said: "When will the head be beheaded?"

Yang Jian said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry, but you, a prisoner, are so anxious?"

Xiao Yan sneered and said, "You didn't come to kill me, why would you come to visit me so kindly?"

Yang Jian said: "Yes, I really have no good intentions."

Xiao Cen fell silent again, standing behind him silently with his head down, how could someone say that he had no good intentions...

Yang Jian said, "I... don't intend to kill you."

Xiao Yan finally moved, turned his head, looked at Yang Jian, a trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes, and said, "You won't kill me?"

Xiao Cen's crime was only treason, and he didn't take any action, so Yang Jian didn't kill him, and Xiao Kui made a favor by handing Xiao Cen to Yang Jian, which can be regarded as a minor incident.

But Xiao Yan is different. Xiao Yan colluded with Chen Ren, not only confirmed the rebellion, but also besieged Yang Jian and Yang Guang. If Yang Jian hadn't been prepared, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty would have already been decapitated. Now, Yang Jian actually said that he would not kill him, isn't it the funniest joke in the world?

Yang Jian raised his lips and said, "I never lie."

When he heard this sentence, Yang Guang's eyelids twitched, and he pressed his forehead with his small hands. As we all know, the mouth of the emperor, a deceitful ghost, actually said that he never lied?

Yang Jian said again: "If I say I won't kill you, I won't kill you, but I have one condition."

Xiao Yan looked sideways at Yang Jian, but didn't ask him.

Yang Jian said to himself: "I heard that Anping Wang Xiaoyan is very good at water warfare. As long as you are willing to submit to me and fight for me, I will not kill you."

"Hahaha!!" Xiao Yan burst out laughing suddenly, and said, "So that's it! I'm afraid it's the Chen people who are calling! You Sui people don't know how to fight in water, and now you can't find generals to fight, so Remember me?"

Yang Jian can't deny that it is true.

Yang Guang suddenly realized that the candidate Yang Jian mentioned was actually Xiao Yan?

Xiao Yan is indeed good at water warfare, and he has participated in many battles against the Chen people, and he has always performed very well. If he can submit to the Sui Dynasty, it will indeed make up for the lack of water warfare of the northerners.

Moreover, Hao Abao is good at water warfare near the Yellow River Basin, and what they are going to face this time is the water warfare near Dongting Lake. The geographical environment is different, and the tactics and tactics are naturally different.Xiao Yan has confronted Chen Ren all the year round, so he should have experience in this regard.

Xiao Yan just laughed, his face became serious, and he said, "Let's die as soon as possible."

Xiao Cen knew that he would definitely refuse, but after hearing Xiao Yan's refusal, he sweated a little, raised his head slightly, and secretly looked at Yang Jian's expression.

Yang Jian was not angry, his face was as usual, and he said: "Why, you don't want to fight for me? The Chen people want to invade, but your Jiangling land, to be honest, I am helping you, if you can defeat the Chen people , can be regarded as saving one’s own country.”

Xiao Yan's eyes became more and more calm
