Chapter 61

Dawn breaks through the darkness and a new day finally comes.

When the first ray of light illuminates the eastern sky, the Xiao family's mansion also opened. Xiao Zhuo watched his father leave the mansion and rushed to the palace, and he also walked towards the road to Yuwen's mansion.

About half an hour later, a group of graceful women walked out of the gate of Chu Xiuyuan, another place in Luoyang City, and a group of graceful women walked out of the palace. Some of them were escorted by soldiers. Some of them were happy and excited, as if they thought of the scene where they gathered all their favors and had a infinite family glory; some were a little depressed, as if they knew that they would no longer have freedom in the future, but they were powerless; some were just following others involuntarily, as if they were confused about their future destiny; but one woman was very special. She kept looking around from the gate of Chu Xiuyuan, as if she was waiting for someone to arrive.

Finally she has waited!

Da--da--da-da-da-da! A series of sounds of horse hooves came, and the woman's face was filled with joy. When she looked at the sound, a man with a gun was riding a horse on his face. Although he couldn't see the appearance of the man, the woman still walked out of the crowd excitedly and ran towards the masked man. When the nurse saw it, she rushed to stop it, but was blocked by the masked man who was riding on the horse. The silver spear was nailed into the ground in front of him and trembled, scaring the soldier to the original.

The owner of the silver spear also jumped up at this time, and then bent down, put his arm around the woman's waist, and carried the woman on the back of the horse. Then he pulled the silver spear with one hand and galloped westward. However, as soon as he walked several feet away, a group of soldiers holding shields and holding swords appeared in front of him. Before the masked man arrived, these soldiers quickly lined up in two rows to block the way. In front of the shield, there was a man with a sword and a horse with a thick armor, as if he was the commander of these soldiers.

"Bold madman, the emperor will not allow you to be arrogant at his feet, and you will not surrender!" The chief officer shouted loudly, and the masked man stopped moving forward.

"Brother Cheng, what should I do?" Although the woman knew that the masked man would come to save her today, she was just a rich lady. She had never seen such a scene. When she saw the sword armor in front of her, she was panicked for a moment.

"Come behind me!" The masked man stabbed the ground with a silver spear, quickly carried the woman behind him, and laughed at the officer: "I would rather eat three fights of wormwood than Qu Tuga! Today it seems that it is just a false reputation!" After the masked man finished speaking, he pulled the reins of the horse with his left hand, but when he heard the fierce horse's neighing, he rushed towards Qu Tuga.

"Hug me tightly, close your eyes, I won't let you open it, don't open it!" After the masked man said, he swung his silver spear and stabbed Qu Tugai.

"Since I know my name, I dare to act here!" Qu Tugai saw the masked man coming, but he calmly moved to the right before killing the general. Because he saw that the masked man was coming from his right, if he rushed over directly, after a confrontation between the two horses, the two horses would be able to rush away from him and directly attack the shield soldiers behind him. The shield soldiers behind only had two levels. If the other party was not an ordinary person, the two layers of shield soldiers would probably not be able to stop them at all.

The two horses galloped forward, and the two on the horses faced each other's tit-for-tat. At the end of the meeting, Qu Tugai took off the silver spear that the other party stabbed, and then urgently tied the reins. The other party actually grabbed the reins at the same time like him, avoiding the collision between the two horses and avoiding the disadvantage of being below. It can be seen that he was also a person who fought on the battlefield.

The two horses made a long hiss at the same time, and raised their front hooves high. When they were halfway down, Qu Tuga slashed towards the face. The masked man wanted to avoid it, but he thought of someone behind him, so he had to set up a silver spear to block it. Then the gun body slanted and removed Qu Tuga slashed down. The long sword slid to one side with the gun body. Qu Tuga was eager to stop. The masked man avoided the blade and grabbed the gun again with his right hand, and then stabbed three shots in a row. One shot stabbed Qu Tuga's heart, but Qu Tuga's reaction was almost avoided; the other shot struck Quga's neck. Although Qu Tuga also avoided it, half of his beard was cut off; the last shot was the helmet between Qu Tuga's eyebrows. Only a clear sound was heard. Qu Tuga's helmet fell to the ground, and the man also rolled off the horse.

Three Soul-Broken Snaps! People from Peking Mansion! Qu Tugai was very scared because he had seen this move. At that time, he followed the backer king Yang Lin to attack Luo Yi, and saw Luo Yi almost killed Yang Lin with this move. Now when he saw someone using this move on himself, how could he not be afraid? At the same time, he couldn't help but doubt the other party's identity.

When the masked man saw Qu Tugai fall to the ground, he did not take the opportunity to attack. He just looked at Qu Tugai coldly and then drove his horse to break through the shield soldiers on the periphery. When the horse was about to rush to the shield soldiers, he saw a silver spear thrust, and the masked man stabbed the upper end of a shield with a shot. With the help of the impact of the horse and the bulge on the edge of the shield, and it was not stabbed in the middle of the shield, the shield soldiers were caught off guard and shot the shield by the masked man. Seeing that the gap had already emerged, the masked man jumped straight and passed the second shield soldiers and galloped towards the west gate.

"Arrowman ready!" Seeing the masked man breaking through the siege, someone immediately organized the archer to shoot, but was stopped by Qu Tugai. "Don't shoot, the other party's identity is suspicious. You can go to the palace and Yuwen Mansion to invite General Yuwen to come over. I'll drag him down." Qu Tugai finished his order, picked up his helmet and rode his horse and chased him again.

The moment before the incident in front of Chu Xiuyuan's gate happened, Xiao Zhuo had already arrived at the gate of Yuwen's mansion.

"Are you General Yuwen back?" Xiao Zhuo asked the gatekeeper, but the gatekeeper replied: "General Yuwen changed the guards with General Linghu last night and wanted to pay an extra night post. Now he should be on the way back. If Mr. Xiao is not in a hurry, he can go to the study room to wait for him first."

Xiao Zhuo followed the servant to Yuwen CD's study room. As soon as he finished drinking a cup of tea, he saw the sword hanging on the wall of the study trembling slightly, and a burst of suspicion followed in his heart. Xiao Zhuo had seen this phenomenon. On the night of the Lantern Festival on the Lantern Festival seven years ago, Yuwen CD trembled before he met Xiong Kuohai. According to Yuwen CD, this sword was given by the emperor, but Yuwen CD was not used to using the sword, so he could only hang it in the study room. Whenever Yuwen CD encountered a strong enemy, the sword would tremble to warn. But what was the situation of the sword trembling now?

Xiao Zhuo walked up to look at the sword, and then noticed that the sword grid was actually a pattern of Kun position. Xiao Zhuo reached out and took the sword off, but he didn't expect that the sword body would tremble even more violently. At this moment, Yuwen CD also came back, so Xiao Zhuo took the sword and handed it to Yuwen CD and said, "Your sword is moving again!" Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a clanging body, and the sword actually popped out of the scabbard. When the sword body was exposed, Xiao Zhuo saw a word "博" flashing past the sword body and under the sword grid.

Earth! That's not... Xiao Zhuo was surprised, and Yuwen CD had already spoken: "It seems that this sword is really destined to be with you. I have been able to pull it out for so many years. You touched it and it was unsheathed by yourself! Well, if you like it, I'll give it to you, anyway, it's useless for me to keep it."

"Thank you for your kindness, then I'm disrespectful! But I heard you say that this sword was given to you by the previous emperor. Has the previous emperor told you about the origin of this sword?" Although Xiao Zhuo happily returned to his hand, he wanted to know more about why the ground slag was in the previous emperor's hands.

"This late emperor has never told me." Yuwen CD saw that Xiao Zhuo was obviously disappointed when he heard this sentence, and then smiled and added: "But my grandfather told me that the late emperor was already in power at that time, and everyone under the tent advised the late emperor to be called emperor. The late emperor was hesitant. One night, the late emperor suddenly dreamed that he was bitten by a snake by the lake and his left hand was injured. The late emperor was shocked and at a loss, a white-haired old man holding a sword walked out of the lake. The old man saw the late emperor's injuries and drew the sword without saying a word.

The late emperor cut down his left hand. After the late emperor woke up, he found his confidants to ask how to solve this dream? Everyone said it was a bad omen, but my grandfather said that the sign of the single boxing of the dream was solemn and that it was the meaning of monopoly power. He strongly advised the late emperor to be called emperor by Zen. The late emperor said that the things in the dream should be taken seriously, and he still hesitated. My grandfather said whether it was true or false. He went to the place where the white-haired old man dreamed of it and found it. So the late emperor said the lake in the dream and asked everyone to search. When he arrived by the lake, he found this sword. Only then did the late emperor willing to ascend to the throne by Zen."

"Oh! So that's how it is!" Xiao Zhuo suddenly realized. This life is the sixth reincarnation of him and Yuan Tiangang, and he happened to be born in the first year of Kaihuang. He is also a white-haired old man, and the late emperor has some dreams at night. I'm afraid it's his master's fault again!

"By the way, are you asking me for something so early? If there is nothing wrong, I will rest first. I changed the guard last night and I was sleepy!" Yuwen CD said, then reached out and untied his armor.

"I'll discuss the matter of entering the palace to paint. I didn't draw it six years ago! Now I think it's OK, and I want to try it again. But I can't enter the palace easily without an official position. My father has no time to worry about my affairs now, so I can only trouble you."

"Okay, you!" Yuwen CD stopped after being relieved, looked at Xiao Zhuo for a long time before speaking: "I think it's fake to enter the palace to paint, and it's true to go to your aunt to plead for Lord Xiao! However, Lord Xiao is loyal and filial, and I have always admired him very much. I will help you with this."

Xiao Zhuo quickly stood up and thanked him again to leave, but when he was about to leave, a servant hurriedly walked in and reported to Yuwen CD: "General! General Qu Tugai, the patrol officer, sent someone to ask for help to capture the bandits!"

After hearing this, Yuwen CD hurriedly asked Xiao Zhuo to help him put on his armor, and then rushed to the west of the city. At this time, a verbal battle was also taking place in the palace.

"Your Majesty!" Among the ministers, Yu Wen and independent from the ministers, he said to the emperor in the palace: "Goguryeo has been around for hundreds of years since the Han Dynasty, and has continued to annex the neighboring countries during this period. Now it has been in an important position. When the late emperor was in power, Goguryeo secretly colluded with the Turks to covet the Central Plains. Fortunately, the late emperor was wise and decisive, and he was able to temporarily rest after attacking him. Now Goguryeo does not obey the vassal etiquette and has repeatedly invaded our neighboring countries under the Great Sui Dynasty. It is really abominable. We should take the opportunity to wipe it out to serve as a warning!"

At this time, a person walked out of the court officials on the left. Yu Wenji saw that it was indeed Xiao Yu. He only heard Xiao Yu pay tribute to the emperor and said, "Report to the emperor! What Goguryeo did is abominable, but now our national strength is weak and all industries are in decline. Once the war begins, it will take several months or several years. The people have just left the squat of labor and entered the quagmire of beacon. If the people's minds change, then our Great Sui Dynasty will be in danger! Now we should focus on people's livelihood and strengthen the country and the people. The matter of the Eastern Expedition can be temporarily suspended. I hope the emperor will clearly understand!"

"Mr. Xiao's words are wrong!" Yu Wenhua and his interface said: "The people's hearts change because the law is not strict. If the punishment is serious, no one dares to refuse to follow. All the world is the king's land. Your Majesty wants to open up the territory and expand the territory. All the people should look forward to it, but those who disobey orders should be punished according to the law!"

Just after Yu Wenji finished speaking, another person walked out of the ministers on the left. When Yu Wenji saw that it was Cui Yu's Minister of Justice. He only heard Cui Yu say, "Your Majesty, I heard what Lord Yuwen said, I have something to say."

"Cui Aiqing, but it's okay."

After the emperor agreed to Tiantian, Cui Yu faced Yu Wen and said, "Mr. Yu Wen, I just heard what you said. The change in the hearts of the people is because the law is not strict, but Master Yu Wen can know that strict laws can make people afraid and follow them, and they can also make people afraid and disrupt them! During the Warring States Period, the seven countries were established together, but Qin was strong by law. However, the Qin laws were harsh and the people were afraid and fearful, which led to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's fear of sin and rebellion. Also because of the fear of Qin laws, responders from all over the country were like bamboo shoots after a rain, destroying the Qin country. The following officials believed that the current plan was better than to be generous and appease the people!" Cui Yu said and returned to his position. Although his remarks were not clearly stated that he supported Xiao Yu, he could understand what he meant.

"Mr. Cui! The destruction of the strong Qin Dynasty was due to the lack of plans in the second generation, which led to the lack of strong soldiers in the country. If the soldiers were strong, even if the world was chaotic, they could still be attacked! If the soldiers were lazy, the country was still difficult to consolidate. How could civilians be in chaos? " Yu Wenhua and his righteous words came out of the military generals on the right. He couldn't help but feel a little angry and asked, "General Qu Tutong, you are from a military family, do you want to argue here?"

Qu Tutong bowed slightly and said, "Master, Qu Tutong is a martial artist, who is not good at speaking." After saying that, Qu Tutong took out another memorial and said, "It is the following official who wrote a memorial last night. If Your Majesty allows you, I can recite it here."

Yang Guanggao sat in the Mingtang, and although he was furious, he still had to endure it. After all, the Eastern Expedition was a major event, and no matter how much he persisted, he had to surrender to others first.

"read!"

The emperor Yang Guang ordered the order, Qu Tutong opened the memorial and said, "I am very worried when I learned that Your Majesty could not sleep day and night because of the Eastern Expedition. However, I still think it is inappropriate for the incident. Looking at the past dynasties, all of them were first settled in the inner world and then outside. At least, they had three dynasties and two emperors, and at most, they had five dynasties and seven generations. They were as strong as the Qin emperor and Han Wu, and they all worked hard for many years to develop a hegemony that had never been the past. However, although the Sui Dynasty had this foundation, the corvee service had been damaged for years. At the time when people's livelihood was restored, the matter of the Eastern Expedition should be slowed down. Although the country was strong, war would be destroyed! Even if the country was prosperous, long-term war would be declining! I hope Your Majesty would observe it! When the people's wealth was rich, your Majesty's order was released again, and I decided to lead the soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty to serve the country with death!"
