.

The autumn is solemn and the branches and leaves wither. The drizzle floats in the air, moistening things silently, and the wind is full of coldness, making people feel desolate.

Xiao Buyi sat in front of the hall and stared at a sycamore tree in the courtyard, and had been silent for a long time.

For some reason, a word from Li Qingzhao suddenly flashed in my mind, and the sycamore tree was drizzling, and at dusk, every bit!

He is optimistic more often, and there are fewer depressions today.

The scenes of the past are floating in my mind bit by bit and can't be gone.

The clattering rain fell along the eaves, and Xiao Buyi's eyes could see through the rain, but they could not see through the sycamore trees and the walls, but his thoughts drifted far away.

Few people who have experienced the blood in Dahai Temple can forget it, right?

Such a hero seems to be no different from others when he dies.

But what will happen to Yang Guang when Zhang Xutuo dies? Will he go crazy? Xiao Buyi doesn't know Yang Guang's mood, but only knows that he has a moment of sadness and depression.

He and Zhang Xutuo were actually not familiar with each other, and they had only met several times. Zhang Xutuo even took his life when he saw him the second time, but he had never hated Zhang Xutuo.

They are enemies, but Zhang Xutuo is at least an enemy that he can admire. Sometimes, Keqin's enemies are much better than plotting against your friends.

He just sat so blankly, imagining and speechless for a long time. Although he was far away from Xingyang, he knew that the news was earlier than many people. Now, even if he didn't leave his home, he could still control the general trend of the world, thanks to the news network he first established. But he first knew it, of course, was the first to be sad. When Xiao Buyi thought of this, he had a helpless smile on his lips.

Zhang Xutuo died, and there were many people who were sad for him. At least the Sui soldiers rescued by him would cry. At least the people of Qi County who had received his life-saving grace would cry. Will Yang Guang cry? Although Xiao Buyi could not cry, he was always helpless and sad when the autumn rain hit him.

But of course there are many people who want to laugh. First of all, the old lords will laugh. Since Yanmen was surrounded, the old lords have long wanted to rebel, but the rafters have all stood out and turned to the ground first. It is also fake to say that they are not afraid of Zhang Xutuo or the elite troops of the Wei Mansion. As long as Yang Guang is in charge of the Dongdu and Zhang Xutuo is in charge, no one who rebels will not be afraid. But now Yang Guang has inexplicably gone to Yangzhou. Zhang Xutuo, the number one general of the Sui Dynasty, has also died. Li Mi cut off the main roads between Dongdu and Yangzhou. It is difficult for Yang Guang to return to Dongdu again. All counties and counties can be said to be independent. If they do not rebel at this moment, when will they wait?

The rebellion in the past was guilty, but the rebellion now is reasonable!

Not only the old clans would laugh, but the bandits would laugh too. Now they don’t have to be afraid. Zhang Xutuo is dead, and no one follows them and chases them. They can accelerate their development of power. They don’t have to be disbanded by Zhang Xutuo every time they gather more people. Now that bandits eat big fish, they are inevitable to merge forces.

It is rare for people in the world to cry and laugh. Zhang Xutuo is undoubtedly one of them! It makes people respect, scare, and cry. It makes people laugh, and makes the world of the Sui Dynasty take a sharp turn. Zhang Xutuo will not be in vain for this life.

Thinking of this, Xiao Buyi looked at the drizzle of the sycamore again, sighed softly, stood up, looked back, and saw Pei Bei's concerned eyes.

Pei Bei didn't know how long she had stared behind him. She knew that Xiao Buyi was most uneasy at the moment, but she didn't come forward to comfort her. Sometimes, there was no need for too many secret words between lovers, but only needed to wait for each other at that moment.

"Bier, when did you come?" Xiao Buyi asked.

Pei Bei's smile made the cold air vigor come to life, "It's not long since we came, Shiji said that you know heroes and value heroes. Zhang Xutuo is dead, so you won't feel good. So let's calm you down. He said that if you are in a better mood, everyone will be waiting for you in the front hall, and some things need to be discussed."

Xiao Buyi nodded, "Thank you."

Pei Bei smiled and said, "What are you thanking? We need to thank you."

Xiao Buyi shook his head and followed Pei Bei to the front hall. He found that a group of people were there, so he couldn't hide his excitement.

Zhang Xutuo was dead. For Xu Shiji, Wei Zheng, Pei Xingyan and others, the feeling of sadness was obviously not as good as Xiao Buyi.

Xiao Buyi has now struck both sides of the Yellow River and was lit up with Zhang Xutuo for a moment. If it weren't for the fate of fate, he would have been the pillar of the Sui Dynasty. When he heard that Zhang Xutuo died, he would inevitably feel sad and sad, but for the rest of the world, the reaction was not as strong as his. On the contrary, he felt that this was an opportunity.

"Boss Xiao, now is an opportunity, we must not miss it. Zhang...General... passed away, an isolated city in Xingyang City is so big that the world is the only one among the soldiers and generals of the Sui Dynasty can compete with you. But I think since Wagang has guarded Yang Guang's reversal, if Yang Guang still has a little brain, he will definitely send someone to attack again. Yang Yichen is most likely the first choice. At present, the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty will not pose a fatal threat to us. Since we are not afraid of the court, we should seek rapid development, expand influence, and annex the territory!"

Xu Shiji was very excited to analyze the general trend of the world straight to the point.

Everyone nodded, and Wei Zheng said, "But avoid making a quick move forward. You must fight steadily. It is the first priority to build a strong enemy. General Xiao also agreed. It makes sense to say that it is very reasonable to accumulate grain, build high walls, and slowly become kings."

Even Pei Xingyan was a little impatient, and nodded repeatedly when he heard this, "Mr. Wei's words make sense, but we can't hold our troops in Xiangyang..."

"Of course, we can't keep the troops in motion." Xu Shiji smiled, "Mr. Wei's intention must be that it is not the time for him to attack himself. Since Xiao Xian is an internal supporter in Baling County, a group of lieutenants and Baling people are looking forward to Boss Xiao to issue the equal-field order. Now the time is ripe. Boss Xiao can go out to take off Baling County, and even have no blood. Since that's the case, why not do it? Baling guards the Yangtze River. If it is taken down, we can go down the Yangtze River and recover the counties along the way. When the time is ripe, the Yiqiu will be held high and conquered people with virtue. At that time, most of the places south of the Yangtze River will surrender..."

"Sounds beautiful." Xiao Buyi smiled.

Pei Xingyan said in a rough voice: "Although I admire Boss Xiao, I don't think that Boss Xiao's reputation has reached this point. The world is made. If you just have a slogan, you will surrender. What's the use of me?"

Xu Shiji smiled and said, "Don't underestimate the weight of the three words Xiao Buyi. You are a gentry and don't do farming. Of course, you don't know the weight of the three words Juntian Ling in the minds of ordinary people. Of course, we are useful, but it is not the time to fight now. We should focus on taking advantage of Jiangnan. If Baling surrenders, the impact of the re-issuing of the Juntian Ling will expand. We will send people to widely spread the benevolent policies of Boss Xiao among the people, and we will definitely get their support. The Chinese families in Jiangnan also seek stability and will definitely respond to Boss Xiao's move. At that time, it will not be difficult to take the rest of the counties. In the world, we occupy Jiangnan and advance north based on Xiangyang to achieve unparalleled careers. This is a move. So please Boss Xiao quickly make a decision and go to Baling. Don't be taken advantage of by others. It will be too late to regret it."

Xiao Buyihuan looked at everyone, "What are you suggesting here?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, Yuan Lan also agreed, Pei Xingyan grinned. "My suggestion is that the bigger the territory, the better. No matter what you robbed or cheated, it is also a skill to rob or cheat."

Everyone laughed. When Wei Zheng saw Xiao Buyi's inquiring gaze, he nodded slowly, "No matter what, taking Baling should be the most important thing now."

When Xiao Buyi saw everyone united, he swept away the haze and said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, we must make a quick decision and take Baling first!"

Zhang Xutuo is dead!

Those who heard this news were crying and laughing, and some were like Yu Shiji, sweating profusely and frightened.

He sat there blankly, his face was pale, his lips were gray, and sweat beads rolled from his forehead to the corner of his mouth. He didn't bother to wipe it.

He was sitting for a long time before he got up when he heard the eunuch coming and report, "Censor Pei is here."

"Please hurry." Yu Shiji caught a life-saving straw.

When Pei Yun came in, his face was not much better than Yu Shiji. He obviously knew the news of Zhang Xutuo's death.

They had no feelings for Zhang Xutuo. But for them, Zhang Xutuo's death, it was really sad.

Yu Shiji was less arrogant and nervous. He stepped forward a few steps and said anxiously: "Mr. Censor, I want you to talk to the emperor this time."

Pei Yun pretended not to know, "What did you say to the emperor?"

Yu Shiji suppressed the displeasure in his heart and wanted to laugh, but pretended to be sad and said, "General Zhang sacrificed his life for the country, which is a pity. I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to bear the blow of this news..."

He wanted to speak but stopped, full of expectations. There was never a time when open and secret struggles in the temple. In Yu Shiji's eyes, everything was nothing more than you bite me and I bite you. Who cares about the life and death of the Sui Dynasty? That was just something the emperor needs to worry about. The only thing he cared about was how to please the emperor and live a safe and stable day. His younger brother Yu Shinan had already advised him to stop, but he didn't want to, and he couldn't bear to leave the current glory and wealth. Besides, he offended countless people and could still save his life by the emperor. If he really left the emperor, he might be killed the next day. Although he and Pei Yun were both by Yang Guang's side.

A celebrity has always been incompatible with each other and has been intriguing and intrigue. He has always been at a disadvantage in the past. Recently, the Pei family has suffered a lot. Yu Shiji took the opportunity to put on Pei Yun's head and was proud. Even if Xingyang was surrounded, he would still make his own decisions and hide them without reporting them. But good fortune is a disaster. When he thought he was planning to do so, he never thought that Zhang Xutuo would die! In his eyes, Zhang Xutuo's death was simply a huge joke. But this joke is now alive on his head. He is not ready to hide this news, and he knows that he can't hide it. At present, he only asks Pei Yun not to add to the insult!

Pei Yun also looked sad, "It turns out that Lord Yu is worried about this matter. General Zhang sacrificed his life for the country to cause the loss of the Sui Dynasty. But I think the death of General Zhang has nothing to do with Lord Yu. After all, he will go to Xingyang no matter what," he said.

Yu Shiji felt a little calm and thought that true love would be seen in times of trouble. Pei Yun was also loyal enough, "Thank you, Lord Pei, for your understanding."

"I'm also afraid that the emperor would not be able to bear the blow, so I came to Yu Shilang to discuss how to tell the emperor about this matter. When I came, I saw General Yuwen rushing to see the emperor, but I was afraid..."

Yu Shiji's face changed drastically. The first thing he thought was that Yu Wen Shu knew about Zhang Xutuo's death, so he rushed to study his book.

"Mr. Pei..."

"I came to see Lord Yu today, just to advance and retreat with Lord Yu." Pei Yun said firmly: "Why don't you and I go to see the emperor immediately and discuss with the emperor how to decide the national plan?"

Yu Shijimao smiled and said, "This is the best."

The two left the mansion and rushed to the palace. When they arrived at the palace gate, they saw a clerk walking out of the affairs room. When they saw them, they smiled and said, "The Lord is about to summon two lords. The two lords arrive, so I don't need to pass on them."

"I wonder what the Lord is looking for us?" Yu Shiji asked first.

The man from Tongshi shook his head, "I don't know."

Yu Shiji followed the man in a lot of worries. Before he arrived in the palace, he heard a hearty laugh. Yu Shiji was frightened and heard that the person who laughed was Yang Guang, and he was a little scared. Since Chen Xuanhua's death, Yang Guang has rarely seen him laugh. Could it be...

When he entered the palace, he found Yang Guang smiling in front of the bronze mirror. He was very happy. Yuwen Shu stood on one side with his hands down with a sad face. He was also in his seventies. He was exhausted these days and looked like he had been aged for ten years. Although he was standing now, he looked overwhelmed.

Yang Guang just smiled at the mirror. Yu Shiji waited for a long time. He thought he could see himself through the bronze mirror. Unexpectedly, after a long time, Yang Guang still did not turn around.

After coughing, Yu Shiji said tremblingly: "I wonder what the emperor summoned the old ministers and the two?"

Yang Guangdi's laughter finally stopped, and he looked at the mirror for a long time before turning around and smiled and said, "Yu Qing family, do you think I am much younger?"

Yu Shiji looked up at Yang Guang and was stunned when he saw a radiant face. Yang Guang was right, compared to the past few days, Yang Guang looked much more energetic!

He never expected that Yang Guang would regain his confidence again when he looked at the bronze mirror screen all day long.

"The Lord looks like he is ten years younger."

Yang Guang smiled, very satisfied, and sighed again in a flash, murmured: "I want to let Xuanhua see my youthful appearance immediately. Xuanhua will always remain young and will not grow old for decades, and I also look like this. In this way, I and Xuanhua should be unparalleled couples in the world. Gods will be ashamed of themselves. Wang Shichong has made contributions and presented such a magic mirror. I want to reward him well. Didn't Wang Shichong come?"

Yu Shiji said in fear: "Return to the emperor, Lord Wang is attacking the thieves of Ge Qian. He is not in Yangzhou City now."

Yang Guang smiled and said, "It should be. I asked him and General Zhang to suppress the bandits and pacify the bandits in the world for me. He will definitely not let down my high expectations. By the way, Yu Qing family, I announced that you and Pei Qing family are coming to consider returning to the Dongdu area."

Yu Shiji's sweat beads popped up, but Yang Guang said to himself: "Xuanhua advised me to think about the world. I have decided to cheer up and reorganize the world. Xuanhua is about to return to Yang. After she returns to Yang, I will immediately return to Dongdu with her, pardon the world, appease the people, temporarily suspend the conquest of Liaodong, and pacify the Turks first. What do you think?"

Seeing Yu Shiji still silent, Yang Guang finally frowned, "Do you disagree with what I said?"

Yu Shiji suddenly fell to the ground and cried loudly, "Master, General Zhang sacrificed his life for the country, and Xingyang was killed."

He kowtowed to the ground, but he didn't dare to look up. He was afraid, frightened, and panic. Of course, he was sad, but he was sad and cried. It was so shocking that he was so shocking that he was tragic.

Yuwen Shu's face changed drastically, but Yang Guang was stunned for a while and asked, "Which Zhang Jiang?"

Zhang Xutuo was the first general of the Sui Dynasty, and he never lost, let alone died. Yang Guang could not connect Zhang Xutuo with the words "sacrificing one's life for the country" for a while.

Pei Yun stepped forward and said sadly: "Master, General Zhang Xutuo was trapped in front of Dahai Temple in Xingyang and died with all his strength..."

"You're talking nonsense!" Yang Guang suddenly stepped forward a few steps and pointed at Pei Yun angrily and said, "Pei Yun, do you know the crime of deceiving the monarch?"

He couldn't believe it, nor did he dare, nor did he want to believe it. Zhang Xutuo was invincible, so how could he die?

Pei Yun's eyes were filled with tears, "The old minister knows the crime of deceiving the king, but how could the old minister deceive the king with this matter?"

Yu Shi base cried and said, "Master Pei's words are absolutely true. Wagang is in chaos, and the troops are moving to Xingyang. Xingyang County is in a hurry. General Zhang is anxious about what the emperor thinks, but he cannot pass it through, so he rushed to rescue the siege. However, he did not expect to accidentally enter the bandit trap and be trapped in front of Dahai Temple and die. What the old minister said is absolutely true and there is no false statement."

Yang Guang suddenly laughed, "You still say you are not lying? Wagang has been broken by Xiao Buyi long ago, where did you come from? Well, I am in a good mood today. If you don't pursue your crime of deceiving the emperor, you should all get up. By the way, what's going on with General Zhang now?"

Although he was laughing, his mouth was twitching and his hands and feet were shaking...

Yu Shiji said sadly: "When the emperor returned to the emperor, Wagang was broken, but Zhai Rang and others were not dead, and Li Mi and others defected. Now the momentum is getting bigger and bigger. They have broken through Jindi Pass and attacked the counties of Xingyang County, and now they have even killed General Zhang with tricks. Until now, Wagang is getting bigger and stronger, and the soldiers are moving to the tiger prison. They threaten the Dongdu. The old minister knew that the emperor would be sad and upset, but for the sake of the Sui Dynasty, they risked their lives to tell the truth to Lord Pei, and only asked the emperor to clearly understand."

Pei Yun's tears fell and said in a deep voice: "Master, General Zhang's death is absolutely true. Now, please take care of the dragon's body and be mournful and follow the changes."

Yang Guang couldn't smile, but he felt as if he was stiff on his face. He staggered back a few steps and sat on the dragon throne, leaving him speechless for a long time.
