Chapter 404 Showdown
Finally, time came to the end of March of the 13th year of Daye. I led a hundred elite cavalry, as well as two important bodyguards, Li Yuanfang and Sister Qingxia, heading towards Xijing.
On the second day of April, I barely arrived at the Changsun Family Villa located north of Xijing. From a distance, I saw a group of women standing at the door and waving their arms at me.
My face was covered in fatigue and I suddenly had a bright smile on my face, and I ran towards them by horses.
I patted my sister's head intimately, and the girl's smile was full of anger. The fifth brother next to me was half a head higher than the last time I saw him. He gestured, but fortunately, well, it was not as high as mine.
He also patted the boy in the head to show his elder brother's authority as his father, and then respectfully greeted his mother, aunt and grandmother.
"Grandma, why are you coming out? I am a junior. I should pay my respects to you." I said while saluting.
"What's the matter? Good grandson, I haven't seen you for more than two years, right? Haha, although this head doesn't seem to grow much, it looks much stronger than before. You're a big guy... Oh, come into the house quickly, it's hot enough outside." Grandma looked at me kindly for a long time before she saved me from the journey for several days.
"Five days ago, I received the news from you. My mother, your grandmother and aunt, the city that I just left yesterday." When I returned to the house and sat down, my mother sighed lightly and grabbed my hand tightly. "My son, what's wrong with you? You actually came to Xidu at this time, and you didn't even enter the city."
"Mom, if there are chaos today, there are turmoils everywhere. Not to mention the Dongdu, even the Xidu is not safe." I paused, glanced at the people in the family and continued: "I have been in Hancheng County for many years, and I have enough staff under my command. No matter how turmoil is in the world, Hancheng County will not be affected. Therefore, I rushed over and wanted to invite my mother, grandma, aunt, you can go to Hancheng County for a temporary residence. After the world turmoil has subsided, you can go back to Xidu."
"What, could it be that even this West would be in danger?" Grandma couldn't help but say in surprise.
I nodded: "The world is getting more and more chaotic nowadays. The court has lost control of the world. The soldiers and horses of the court have quelled the chaos everywhere. But has it been chasing? Not only has it not been quelled, but the world is getting more and more chaotic. Just a few days ago, even Zhang Xutuo, the pillar of the country, was trapped in the hands of a thief, not to mention that the emperor ignored the world and was devoted to enjoying himself..."
"Yes, the world is getting more and more chaotic. Even Guanzhong has suffered several wars, and people are in panic." My aunt couldn't help but sigh.
"You are all my relatives. I don't want anything to happen to you, let alone the wars are everywhere in today. No one knows when, Xidu will be like Dongdu, and will be peeped by those traitors. Therefore, I hope you can leave with me."
"Our family is going to Hancheng County, aren't you afraid that the court will know?" Grandma sighed lightly and asked at me.
"So what? Could it be that I protect my family's peace. Now the court, which has been frustrated by the rebellion of the world, still has time to deal with such a small matter?" I said with confidence. "The court strictly prohibits privately making armor, but now, which county does not build armor privately, and in order to protect itself, what can the court be? The court also strictly prohibits the people from leaving their residence without permission. But in the world, there are wars everywhere and people are forced to be displaced. What can the court be?"
"The present world is even more chaotic than the end of the previous dynasty. It seems that the Great Sui Dynasty is probably..." Grandma was a person who had experienced it after all. This sigh made everyone's expression look a little sad.
The mother looked at her grandmother, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "Then let's go. With Silang here, we can feel more at ease."
Grandma nodded, and finally let out a long breath, clenched her fist and waved it hard. "That's great, I've been worried that you don't want to leave Xidu."
"What is this? You are my child. It is better to be together in a family safely than anything else. Besides, I have also seen a lot of changes in Hancheng County. I know your ability. For my mother, your grandmother and aunt, I believe that you can feel more at ease if you want to do anything big." My mother smiled and patted my back of my hand and said kindly.
Since I was leaving, I definitely needed to prepare. At this time, the old butler Li Qian poked his head outside the hall. I sued my mother and the others and left the front hall.
Sure enough, all the friends and friends came, Yang Gongdao, Yang Shidao, Tang Jian, Liu Hongji, Pei Yuanqing, Xue Wanche and others had already followed their fathers to fight outside, and they had no way to come.
When I arrived at the room prepared for me in the backyard, I glanced at this friend, cleared my throat and said, "This time, I came to the outside of Xidu quietly. There is indeed something important to do, and I need to discuss it with several brothers."
"Maybe you are going to rebel?" Liu Hongji jumped up and said in a hurry.
"Anyway, brothers must know that the collapse of the world is not far away." I glanced at this guy, before I even said the opening remark, you jumped out. This was too naked.
"And this time, I came here, in addition to taking my mother and the others to Hancheng County, I am here to remind you to make the choices you should make at the right time."
Liu Hongji smiled and raised a thick eyebrows at the young master: "Brother, I and the one thousand brothers under my command will listen to you. As long as there is something wrong, you can just say a word."
"Since that's the case, please ask your brother to let your sister-in-law leave Xidu as soon as possible and rush to Hancheng County with my mother and others." I smiled and nodded to Liu Hongji, and glanced at the friend who was in love with him. "As for you, you should either go with me, or stay in Chang'an. Brothers under your command, don't rush to move for the future."
"Brother, you really have to make up your mind," Yang Gongdao stroked his long beard, raised his eyebrows and asked at me.
"This is naturally, you will know the reason soon." My future father-in-law is about to rebel. He turns against him. Could it be that my son still holds up the banner of the Great Sui King and asks him to be destroyed? In that case, it would be strange if my lovely and cute Yaoguang girl is not heartbroken.
Therefore, if my father-in-law reverses his rebellion in the future, I will definitely rebel. At that time, with my strong power in Guanzhong, I believe that with my help, Li Yuan and his son should be able to unify China earlier.
As for my young master's reform ambition, of course, it has never been destroyed. Moreover, I have vaguely found a trace of direction, and this trace of direction and breakthrough point are between Queen Dou and Sister Yaoguang.
In this era where even the female emperor can admit it, what else is impossible? Of course, I don’t want Sister Yaoguang to become a woman like Wu Zetian who can even strangle her daughter to death. I prefer her impulse and enthusiasm to work hard and create a better future for her ideals and world peace.
"Brother, you are now, and you still want to hide it from us guys?" Tang Jian came to this young master with a despicable expression and whispered.
"It's not that I want to hide it, but I really don't know when something will happen." I spread my hands and said with a wry smile.
"My brother, I will follow you with my brother." Yang Shidao, who had been pondering for a long time, spoke at this time. "What has become of the world now? I believe everyone can see clearly. Yang Guang has really forgotten his responsibilities and obligations as the emperor, as his wise man said."
"A such a Great Sui Dynasty is indeed not worthy of our loyalty." Yang Gongdao nodded at me with certainty and said.
"Old Tang, my elder brother, is naturally with my brothers." Tang Jian said happily: "But, brother, what are you going to let us do?"
"Apart from Brother Acer, I hope you can find an opportunity to take your family out of Xidu and go to my younger brother." Well, it was a showdown, but I am not afraid. I believe that the character of these buddies will definitely not betray me. Even if they really drink too much one day, it would be fine to expose my intention to rebel.
If you have the ability to come to Hancheng County to arrest me, come on, I am not a kind person, with more than 50,000 elite troops and 70,000 reserve troops looking forward to pacifying this troubled times. No matter it is the court army, the XX peasant uprising army, or the bandits, no one can think of sneering at me, well, because now I already have the confidence.
Well, since the last time I sent troops to rescue Shangjun, the soldiers' political and ideological education was insufficient, which caused the early war-weariness. After this young master's passionate speech, they finally inspired their strong patriotism.
After that, strengthening political quality education became the top priority of military construction.
Now, if you want to ask my soldiers and ask them why they fight, they will definitely tell you passionately. We are fighting for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and to create a great and peaceful prosperous era...
Well, I am very satisfied. After the political and ideological education textbooks compiled by this master, I have indeed played the role it deserves.
"Do you want to contact some more people for your brother?" Tang Jian whispered after smashing his mouth. "Now, whether it is Xidu or Dongdu, there are many people who are dissatisfied with me today. They all hate the emperor's behavior of ignoring the world and taking care of his own enjoyment."
"It's not necessary for the time being. At this moment, everything is to be cautious." After thinking for a while, I finally shook and denied Tang Jian's proposal. After all, it's about confidentiality, so it's better to be careful for the time being.
