"Our soldiers died in Luoyang. No matter what happens today, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty must give us an explanation."

Hearing this, Sima Dekan was speechless and even expressed his disgust towards people like Song Jingang who made trouble unreasonably.

He was the first to provoke, but he couldn't beat the other party, and he couldn't defeat the other party, so he wanted to take advantage of him.

Humph, he is not so kind...

Sima Dekan's face was expressionless and his tone was light: "Your Majesty only strictly orders you not to cause trouble when entering Luoyang City. As for the rest, I'm sorry that I can't do anything about it."

The implication is that he doesn't care about what happens outside the city, and neither does Yang Guang.

Song Jingang was silenced again and returned to his army in despair.

A flash of sarcasm flashed across Sima Dekan's eyes, and he said loudly: "Please follow me into the city."

Yuchi Jingde put away his horse and walked to Liu Wuzhou: "Your Majesty, you are injured. Why don't we go back to the military camp to rest first."

Liu Wuzhou looked towards Xining Gate and saw that Dou Jiande was being escorted into the city. He gritted his teeth and said: "What does this injury mean? I can't let them see the joke and enter the city."

Li Gui, who was outside Hui'an Gate, looked at Xia Jun with lingering fear and murmured: "Fortunately, I didn't go to Xining Gate, otherwise my people would be dead now."

An Xiuren, who was following behind Li Gui on horseback, had a deep look in his eyes, constantly searching for books on weapons and hidden weapons in his mind, and found that none of the weapons recorded in the book were the ones just now, with loud noises and smoke.

, people were killed by the explosion.

Li Gui's adviser Liang Shuo was also thinking: "Strange, what kind of weapon is it?"

In the other camp, Liang Shidu and others were still in shock. They kept wondering what kind of weapon Xia Junzhi's weapon was just now, and it was so powerful.

Suddenly, all the troops outside the city gate, including the Sui army officers guarding the city gate, looked at the Xia army with admiration, and looked at them with a hint of fear in their eyes.

Li Yuan sighed: "Before entering the city, a dispute broke out. It seems that the trip to Luoyang is not peaceful."

Then he said to Li Shimin: "Dou Jiande's awe-inspiring display is really powerful. Even before the competition has begun, he has already shocked Luoyang."

"Let's go into town."

-------------

On this day, the city of Luoyang was very lively. The troops who came to participate in the Shangsi Festival feast entered the city gate with flags flying and loud gongs and drums, and headed towards Chengfu Gate in a swaggering manner.

On this day, all the people in Luoyang City came out. The streets and the upstairs of teahouses, restaurants and other shops were crowded with people.

After the people got the news early in the morning, they rushed to various city gates, scrambling to get the best viewing position.

"Wei Gong Li Mi has arrived."

"Xia Wang Dou Jiande has arrived."

"Ding Yang Emperor Liu Wu is thoughtful."

"Tang Wang Li Yuan has arrived."

........

The soldiers marched all the way shouting, until they arrived near Chengfumen, where the nine armies stopped.

In front of Chengfu Gate is a large square. To the south of the square is adjacent to Luoshui. There are several bridges over Luoshui.

Li Mi, Xue Ju, Xiao Xian, and Zhu Can led the army and stopped south of Luoshui without crossing the bridge.

Yang Guang, who had been sitting firmly in the palace, had just heard the news that Xia Jun had powerful weapons when he saw another chamberlain running over to report: "Your Majesty, they have arrived at Chengfu Gate."

Yang Guang stood up slowly: "Show up at Chengfumen."

When Yang Guang's figure appeared on the city wall of Chengfu Gate, the surrounding area suddenly became quiet.

Yang Guang looked at the crowds of troops and people below, his heart sank, and his eyes were dark.

He looked at it for a while and then ordered: "Send the order, I will host a banquet at Chengfu Gate to entertain the leaders, and invite them to come to Chengfu Gate."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When the herald left, Pei Renji said to Li Mi: "Master, after crossing the river, we will be in a passive position."

"What are you afraid of?" Wang Bodang looked towards the river and said: "We have already occupied a bridge. If anything happens, we can retreat as soon as possible. Besides, our people are guarding the city gate.

problematic."

The leaders of the nine armies requested that the city gates not be closed on this day just as a precaution, so when they entered the city, they stationed people at the city gate.

Seeing that troops had arrived at the square in front of Chengfu Gate, Li Mi said, "Let's go."

He cannot be too far behind.

The palace attendants moved quickly, and in less than half an hour, the banquet was ready.

The leaders took their seats, followed by the brave generals, and other soldiers gathered around.

Yang Guang was the last one to enter, occupying the top position.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the leaders did not embarrass Yang Guang and greeted him: "I have met His Majesty the Sui Dynasty."

Hearing that "Your Majesty" was preceded by the name "Dynasty", a trace of self-mockery flashed across Yang Guang's lips, and he quickly returned to his condescending and indifferent expression: "No courtesy."

Everyone sat down.

"You all have come a long way. I have prepared a little wine to help you catch the wind and wash away the dust. You don't have to be restrained."

Yang Guang picked up the wine glass: "Everyone, please."

Everyone kept smiling politely and did not touch their glasses.

Wang Shichong looked at everyone sarcastically: "If you don't move, do you think we have poisoned the wine?"

"Who knows?" Zhu Can replied calmly.

"Ha~"

Wang Shichong laughed and said: "Your Majesty is a noble person, how could you do such a despicable thing? Only those shameless villains will judge the hearts of others with their own thoughts, thinking that everyone is as despicable as them."

"Who are you scolding?"

Zhu Can slapped the table and stood up, pointing at Wang Shichong.

Wang Shichong said coldly: "Of course I'm scolding the shameless villain."

"You..." Zhu Can was so angry that he was speechless for a moment.

Liu Wuzhou looked at Wang Shichong coldly: "You provoked us because you wanted us to drink the poisonous wine and die from the poison, right?"

"Your Majesty is so upright and upright, how could you do such a despicable thing? Do you like to drink or not?" Wang Shichong sat down and ignored them.

Li Yuan stood up with the wine glass in hand and said to Yang Guang: "Your Majesty has great righteousness and self-examination. It is our wish to be a virtuous person. Such actions that are beneficial to the people are also our wish. I offer you a drink."

After that, raise your glass and drink.

Covered by the wide sleeves, the glass of wine poured into the sleeves and was absorbed by the cotton ball inside.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Yuan's sleeves and then looked at the other leaders.

The leaders wore military uniforms with tightly tied cuffs to facilitate movement. Only Li Yuan and Dou Jiande wore wide-sleeved robes.

It turns out that this is the reason why my father does not wear military uniform today...

Yang Guang glanced at Li Yuan indifferently, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Dou Jiande also stood up with a wine glass in hand: "Peace in the world is the wish of all of us. I hope that at this Shangsi Festival feast we can solve all the problems, put an end to the war, and let the people return to a peaceful life.

"I respect your Majesty."

After saying that, drink it all in one gulp.

The others looked at each other and waited for a while. Seeing that Li Yuan and Dou Jiande were fine, they also toasted to Yang Guang.

In and out of words, they all praised Yang Guang's righteousness in taking the Zen position, but secretly, upon careful consideration, they alluded to Yang Guang's past tyranny.

Everyone came here not to drink. After some conversation, Liu Wuzhou said: "I dare to ask Your Majesty, the day after tomorrow is the Shangsi Festival feast, but we don't know the location and time of the feast, as well as the content of the competition. Please tell me, Your Majesty."

Let’s talk about it.”

After hearing this, everyone put down their wine glasses and looked at Yang Guang.

Yang Guang slowly glanced around the crowd, seeing their obvious or hidden desires, and said slowly: "The Shangsi Festival banquet is held in the palace. The competition will start at three o'clock from noon. After it ends, the banquet will be held at Youshi."

..."

Before Yang Guang finished speaking, Xue Ju said: "The palace is too small, so it might be inconvenient for so many of us to go there."

"To participate in the palace banquet, each of you can only bring fifty people at most, and you are not allowed to bring weapons into the palace." Wang Shichong said.

What?

You can only bring fifty people, but you can’t bring weapons?

Liu Wuzhou immediately expressed his objection: "No, I don't agree."

"I don't agree either." Master Liang said.
