"The great river goes eastward, and the waves are swept away, and the romantic figures of the ages. Therefore, to the west of the fortress..."
"Your Highness, what a poem! Although this poem does not rhyme, it has a profound artistic conception and a vast and eternal atmosphere... What's next?"
"Haha, really? There is no more below. These two sentences came to mind today." Qin Yang smiled, stopped talking, and stopped looking at Pang Tong who couldn't help but admire him. If Pang Tong hadn't suddenly praised him just now, Qin Yang would have been in high spirits.
In the meantime, he muttered the revealing sentences at the end and turned out a chapter of the novel.
Thinking of this, Qin Yang couldn't help but sweat secretly. This was not the first time he took a boat to cross the Yangtze River, but it was the first time he crossed the natural chasm from Chaisang. However, he saw rolling waves on the river, although not as big as the sea.
It is vast and boundless, but it is full of vast and vigorous energy. When a literary person sees this, he will definitely express his heart. A martial artist will definitely have a feeling of hearty and want to drink to his heart's content.
At this moment, on the bow of the ferry, Guan Hai was leading the five personal guards, holding a wine jar and giving instructions. Qin Yang had always been kind to his subordinates and had no airs. This time when he traveled in disguise, he was even more approachable. Then
The five personal guards were not so much protecting him as running errands. At this time, crossing the Yangtze River, it would be okay to drink some wine. After all, once you cross the Yangtze River, you will be the land of the demon army. It is extremely dangerous there. If
If something goes wrong, even if these people want to drink, they won't have the chance.
"Your Highness, would you like to have a drink together?" Guan Hai couldn't help laughing when he saw Qin Yang turning his head, holding up the wine bowl in his hand. The other five guards also looked at Qin Yang with longing in their eyes.
In my heart, if I could drink tens of thousands of strong drinks with His Royal Highness the Yellow Turban Prince Ming, even if I could never return to my hometown, I would have no regrets in this life.
"Okay! Then I will accompany you and have a drink along with the rolling Yangtze River!" Looking at the expectant eyes, Qin Yang's chest rose sharply. He laughed loudly and strode to Guan Hai and others.
forward.
The boat crossing the river this time was a military warship that Sun Shangxiang coerced and lured to the garrison general Chaisang. Except for the necessary sailors, there were no other people on the boat. Everyone simply stopped pretending and faced Qin directly.
Yang addressed him as "Your Highness". Seeing Qin Yang's gracious consent, the guards couldn't help but blush with excitement. They quickly went to fetch a large bowl and filled it with a glass of strong wine.
Qin Yang was not polite. He took the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. He still said: "I once made wine with Cao Cao and Sun Quan at Yingshui and talked about the heroes of the world. I thought it was a sign of great pride and guidance.
Country. But at this moment, I feel that the wine brewed with green plums is far less powerful than the wine made by our strong men, and the stubborn talk is not as heroic as our strong men crossing the Yangtze River and going deep into the tiger's den!"
"Your Highness is right! Drinking with those ministers is simply a torture! It's not as enjoyable as us roughnecks drinking happily!" Guan Hai laughed loudly, picked up the wine jar and poured a full bowl for everyone.
Qin Yang picked up the wine bowl, drank it dry again, and said seriously: "Brothers, as soon as you cross the Yangtze River this time, you will reach the land of the demon army. It is dangerous here, so I won't say more. I only hope that after crossing the river, anyone will be safe.
No one drinks anymore. Especially you, Guan Hai! You are the best drinker. If I find out that you dare to drink and cause trouble, I will not spare you!"
"Hey, your Highness, just don't worry. I will never drink at all after crossing the river. When I return to southern Xinjiang and His Highness sends his army to destroy the demons, I will have a good drink!" Guan Hai chuckled and poured Qin Yang again.
Full.
When it comes to Southern Xinjiang, the eyes of the five guards suddenly became a little sad. All five of them were people who had followed Qin Yang in the south and north for more than ten years. From Xiangcheng to Hanzhong, from Hanzhong to the imperial capital, to
Hulao, Chang'an, Anfengjin, Ruyin, and all the way to Southern Xinjiang. In these years, they have changed from fresh-blooded young men to experienced veterans. Some have even married wives and had children in Southern Xinjiang.
At this moment, they are about to cross the river and go deep into the tiger's den, narrowly escaping death. Even though following Qin Yang is their supreme honor, when they think of their relatives in their hometown, their hearts sink.
"Your Highness, we are all rough people. But we all heard that Your Highness is talented in both civil and military skills, and is especially good at composing poems. Why don't you, Your Highness, compose one for us now?" A guard looked at Qin Yang full of expectation after drinking.
said. As soon as he said this, the rest of the guards could not help but look at Qin Yang at the same time.
Looking at these soldiers with tiny scars on their faces, Qin Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart while holding the wine bowl. He, Guan Hai and others all have special skills. Even if they encounter danger, self-protection should not be a big problem. But these
Personal guards can often only be...
Thinking of this, Qin Yang raised his head fiercely and drank down the strong wine in the bowl. Then he waved his hand and threw the empty bowl into the rolling Yangtze River. He looked up to the sky and roared, "The roads are endless, and the Yangtze River is divided into nine factions. Pedestrians follow the traveling geese,
Chu Shu entered Xiangyun. He has been fighting in the south for a long time. What a special honor he has in Jibei. He can't ask for separation, and there are snows at the end of the year!"
After reciting the poem, Qin Yang looked up at the sky and felt that the anger in his chest was instantly gone. He still remembered that above the sky, in front of the stele of heaven, the gods talked and laughed, discussing the secrets of heaven. What is even more unforgettable is that the sky has been empty for thousands of years, and he has been lonely for thousands of years.
, looking back at the morning and evening, it seems to have become empty. Now I am back in the human world, eliminating the cause and effect. If I succeed, I will not fall into reincarnation!
Including Guan Hai, all the guards stared blankly at Qin Yang's back. What shocked them at this moment was not the artistic conception in the poem, but Qin Yang's heroic attitude as he looked at the world. At this moment, in their eyes, Qin Yang
Yang Bian seems to be a divine Buddha. Standing there, it makes people want to bow down and worship.
"Haha, it's such a good thing to say that you can't ask about separation. The snow is falling at the end of the year! I'm Liu Bei in Jingzhou. I don't know who the master is on the boat? Can you come and see him?" Suddenly, a loud laugh sounded not far away. Following the sound, a number of boats were counted.
The ten-meter-long warship cut through the waves from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and was already close at hand in just a moment.
"Liu Bei?" Qin Yang couldn't help but feel something in his heart and looked up. He saw two people standing on the bow of the approaching warship. The leader was wearing a purple robe and a white jade belt around his waist.
He is handsome, with a hint of vicissitudes in his eyes, and a beard floating in the wind, but he is none other than Liu Bei, whom he has not seen for a long time.
Beside Liu Bei, there is a tiger general, wearing a tiger-head battle armor and a green war robe. His face is like a heavy jujube, his eyebrows are like lying silkworms, and he has five long beards. As he sways, his heroic spirit rises sharply. Beside him, a handle
The long sword stands proudly, with a green dragon hovering above it. It raises its head and roars to the sky, trying to swallow the sun and the moon. The name of the sword is Qinglong Yanyue. It is known as the peerless Guan Gong!
At this moment, Liu Bei obviously saw Qin Yang on the bow of the ship. He suddenly saw Qin Yang here. A look of surprise flashed across Liu Bei's eyes, and then he laughed loudly: "I am an expert, it turns out to be His Highness the Yellow Turban King Ming."
, long time no see.”
Qin Yang smiled slightly and glanced at Sun Shangxiang, who had heard the sound and looked out with a pair of phoenix eyes in the cabin. Then he cupped his hands to Liu Bei and said, "It turns out to be Uncle Liu Huang. I never thought that he would be here with him."
When we met on the Yangtze River, we were in a hurry and didn't come far to greet you. I asked your uncle Haihan."
Qin Yang said this. He was obviously treating each other according to the etiquette of the Han Empire. Although Qin Yang was named the Yellow Turban Ming King, according to the rules, the royal family was one level higher than the king with a different surname. What's more, as Liu Bei was the emperor's uncle,
In terms of his status, he was lower than one person and higher than ten thousand people in the Han Empire.
When he saw Qin Yang, Guan Yu next to Liu Bei was tensed up, ready to take action at any moment. But now when he saw Qin Yang meeting him with imperial courtesy, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. You know, if it weren't for Qin Yang's Yellow Turban Army
In the first battle of Fancheng, he fought with Wenpin's 100,000 Jingzhou troops, forcing Liu Biao to dig a river and flood Fancheng. It was impossible for Liu Bei to capture Jingzhou. But later Liu Bei turned around and plotted against Qin Yang, joining forces with Cao Cao and Sun Quan to expel Qin.
Yang reached the southern wilderness and occupied Hanzhong. If we talk about it, it is reasonable for Qin Yang to start an uprising now.
When Liu Bei saw this, he felt relieved and said with a smile: "Look at the heading. Does His Highness Prince Ming seem to be heading to Jiangbei?"
Qin Yang nodded and said with a smile: "I'll tell you the truth, uncle, now the demon lord has returned, and the demon army is destroying lives in the north. I have been ordered by the emperor to build up troops in the southern border. This trip is to go to the north to explore the demon."
The army is in vain.”
"Exploring the camp?!" Liu Bei was shocked. Even he couldn't help but secretly nodded for Qin Yang's courage. Guan Yu looked at Qin Yang with burning eyes. You must know how powerful the demon army was this time.
, can definitely be described as invincible and terrifying. Under the command of the killing god Bai Qi and a group of famous generals throughout the ages, the demon army has been invincible along the way, and has already gained a great reputation. Qin Yang actually became famous when the demon army was at its peak.
Going out to explore the camp alone was an act of great courage!
Qin Yang naturally saw the expressions of the two of them. He couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "I wonder what your uncle wants to do this time?"
When Liu Bei saw Qin Yang asking about it, he couldn't help twirling his beard and smiling, and said: "I'm sorry to say that His Highness King Ming is a hero, but I, Liu Bei, am far behind. This time Liu Bei came to Jianye to welcome his bride, which made King Ming laugh.
"
"Oh? Welcome? I wonder which woman is so lucky to be able to marry the emperor's uncle?" Qin Yang pretended to be surprised.
Seeing that Liu Bei looked ashamed, Guan Yu couldn't help but said on Liu Bei's behalf: "Reporting to Your Highness King Ming, my brother is marrying Miss Sun Shangxiang Sun, the sister of Sun Quan, Lord of Wu, and Princess Sun Shangxiang of Soochow."
"It turned out to be Miss Sun!" Qin Yang's face was even more surprised, and he said in silence: "Uncle Liu Huang is so lucky! I have always heard that Miss Sun is both civilized and martial, and she was born into a beautiful country. To be able to marry Miss Sun, Uncle Liu is really lucky.
Sit back and enjoy the blessings of everyone!"
After saying this, Qin Yang was sweating in his heart, and he seemed to be able to hear a faint voice of "Nonsense!" behind him. But Qin Yang thought that what he said were all good things. Presumably, even his apprentice
If you have an opinion, it’s just because you think you haven’t praised me harshly enough, right?
Liu Bei smiled slightly and said: "Your Highness Prince Ming, you and I don't have to say these polite words. I believe that Your Highness also understands that with the current situation in the world and the rampant demon army, our Han Empire is in danger. There are many princes in the world. Although the Lord of Wu, Sun Quan, and I
We have formed an alliance with Jingzhou, but the alliance is nothing more than a piece of silk. Liu Bei has no intention of caring about the love affairs of the girls here, but if he can form a good relationship with Soochow and the Qin and Jin Dynasties, I will have to do it reluctantly."
Qin Yang laughed loudly and praised: "Uncle Liu Huang has the world at heart, and I admire him! However, this time, Uncle Liu Huang can not only join the Qin and Jin Dynasties with Soochow, but also win a beautiful woman back. It can be said that he kills two birds with one stone!"
Liu Bei smiled and shook his head and said: "Your Highness Prince Ming, please stop teasing me. I have never met the Princess of Soochow, so how can I know whether she is as beautiful as a fairy or as ugly as salt? Rumors in the market should not be credulous. What's more, I, Liu Bei, am
How could you be tempted by a young girl?"
Qin Yang smiled secretly and said in his heart: "The ugly little girl you mentioned is as ugly as no salt, and she is still on the boat now! If you knew, would you still dare to say that?"
After thinking about it, Qin Yang smiled and said: "Uncle Liu, please don't say that. It's not necessarily false. I think since Miss Sun is known as the most beautiful woman in Soochow, she must be right. Uncle Huang will wait and see!"
"
Liu Bei laughed loudly and said: "His Royal Highness Prince Ming, please don't make fun of me anymore. I only regard her as someone who can win the trust of Soochow, and Soochow must be the same. You and I both understand it tacitly. Even if she conquers the country and the city.
So what? After a hundred years, the beauty will be nothing more than withered bones."
What Liu Bei said was very accurate. Even Qin Yang couldn't help but feel the cold wind whistling behind him. If Liu Bei were allowed to continue talking like this, I'm afraid the "beautiful woman with withered bones" behind him would jump out and pretend to be dead.
Thinking of this, Qin Yang hurriedly stopped Liu Bei and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's getting late now, so I have to cross the river as soon as possible. The mountains are high and the rivers are long. I will wait until I return from the North and my Majesty has brought back the beauty in his arms."
How about we have a long chat?"
Liu Bei actually didn't want to say anything more to Qin Yang at this time. After all, in his opinion, Qin Yang was just hiding in southern Xinjiang at this time. He was not prepared to count on Qin Yang in this battle with the demon army.
Even in Liu Bei's plan, as soon as the demon army retreats, the first thing he will do is to eliminate Qin Yang's worries.
So when Liu Bei saw what Qin Yang said, he immediately smiled and said: "In that case, Liu Bei wishes His Majesty King Ming success!"
"Thank you, Uncle Liu Huang!" Qin Yang smiled slightly. Then he waved his hand, sat down on the warship, and immediately rode the wind and waves toward the north of the Yangtze River.
Watching Qin Yang's boat go further and further away, the smile on Liu Bei's face gradually turned into indifference. He said lightly: "Going to Jiangbei alone to explore the demon army? I think Qin Yang is still very ambitious even at his current stage.
ah……"
Guan Yu frowned and asked, "Brother, why did you say this?"
Liu Bei said slowly: "The demon army is rampant. The people of the world are frightened when they hear it, but Qin Yang enters the north alone. Doesn't this clearly tell the people of the world that the princes are all afraid of the demon army, but he, Qin Yang, is not afraid? In this way.
Will the world's hearts and minds be captured by Qin Yang again?"
Guan Yu was shocked when he heard this: "Brother, what should we do?"
Liu Bei smiled coldly and said: "It doesn't matter. If he wants to go, let him go. But if he wants to come back alive, I'm afraid it won't be that easy! Now that we have formed an alliance with Soochow, and I am marrying the princess of Soochow this time, I must
I asked Soochow not to let anyone cross the Yangtze River, and they will not refuse. At that time, I will send people to the north to spread rumors that Qin Yang went to assassinate Bai Qi... humph..."
"What do you mean, brother, to use the hands of Soochow and the Demon Army to kill Qin Yang?" Guan Yu asked in shock.
Liu Bei nodded and said: "Yes, if Qin Yang can be removed, my rearguard in Jingzhou will have no worries. When the time comes, we will take control of Xichuan and join forces with Sun Quan in the east to attack Cao Cao in the north. The revival of the Han Empire will be just around the corner!"
Guan Yu couldn't help but be silent when he saw the sparkle in Liu Bei's eyes. The eldest brother had changed. From the kind-hearted eldest brother who asked for orders for the people, he turned into a madman obsessed with the revival of the Han Empire. Is it people who have changed the world or this?
The world has changed people...
After parting ways with Liu Bei, Qin Yang stood alone on the bow of the ship. Although he did not hear Liu Bei's words, he understood in his heart that it was impossible for Liu Bei's mind not to know his intention of going to the North to explore the demon army. Over the years,
Qin Yang and the Yellow Turban Army worked hard to gain fame and popular support, but it was already destroyed after the battle with the demon lord. Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei deliberately built momentum, making everyone in the world regard Qin Yang as the devil and the Yellow Turban Army as the source of trouble.
.And this time, the demon army invades again, which is a great opportunity for him to regain the hearts and minds of the people and rebuild his momentum! Even if there are many dangers, Qin Yang will never give up.
"I don't know, what will Liu Bei do?" Qin Yang squinted his eyes and looked at the horizon. In his mind, Liu Bei had two options. The first one was to take the opportunity to build momentum and say that Qin Yang entered the North and wanted to collude with the devil to cause trouble.
The world. But if you do this, once Qin Yang returns, raises the banner of destroying demons, explains his intentions, and fights the demon army, Liu Bei will be ruined.
As for the second type, Qin Yang narrowed his eyes. If Liu Bei spread rumors, told the Demon Army about his arrival in the North, and then colluded with Soochow to block his return... Thinking of this, Qin Yang smiled slightly, and the corners of his eyes
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Sun Shangxiang, who walked out of the cabin in an upright manner. Not to mention that he would not choose to go back from the Yangtze River. Even if he was forced to the river by the demon army, with this precious disciple here, Soochow would not dare to embarrass him.
.
"Hey! Master, why are you laughing?" While Qin Yang was thinking, Sun Shangxiang was the first to come to Qin Yang. His tone was as if he was Qin Yang's master.
"Haha, it's nothing. I was just thinking, if Liu Bei learns that Princess Soochow is on the ship, will he look ugly?" Qin Yang laughed.
When this was mentioned, Sun Shangxiang became even more angry. He narrowed his eyes slightly and puffed out his mouth and said, "Did you say that on purpose? Did you deliberately lead Liu Bei to say that about me?!"
Qin Yang quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't misunderstand me. You heard everything I said. Those were all said by Liu Bei himself and have nothing to do with me."
Hearing what Qin Yang said, Sun Shangxiang became even more angry and stamped his feet: "Liu Bei, that stinky man! Bad guy! Don't let me see him next time! Otherwise... hum!"
"Yes, yes, next time our master and apprentice will deal with him together!" Qin Yang helped from the side.
Sun Shangxiang glanced at Qin Yang, snorted and said: "You are not a good person, don't think I can't hear it, if you hadn't praised me so much, Liu Bei wouldn't have said those words! But forget it, who can let me know?
Are you telling the truth? I don’t care about the faults of villains, so I will let you go for the time being!"
When Qin Yang heard this, his nose almost became angry, and he said angrily: "Eh? Let me ask, am I your master? Do I have a disciple like you? Do you and the master have this attitude? Come on, come on,
Hurry up and let your ladies come out to judge..."
