After Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty came to the throne, he first conquered Goryeo three times externally and opened up the Western Regions to open up the Silk Road; internally, he ordered people to dig canals, build a large-scale construction project in Luoyang, build palaces and revitalize the economy; then he also opened the imperial examination for the first time in politics, and planned to thoroughly
Eliminate the constraints and control of imperial power by powerful families and lay a solid foundation for the Sui Dynasty's thousand-year achievements?
However, he still underestimated the power of the family members.
The above four things, especially the conquest of Goryeo, the construction of the canal and the opening of the imperial examination, if any one of them is completed, the achievements will be enough for him to complete the great rule of the Sui Dynasty and become a famous emperor throughout the ages.
No doubt about it!
Unfortunately……
He was too self-confident and underestimated the stubborn power of the family members. In his haste, he not only failed to achieve the effects he thought he had, but also made his Sui Dynasty uneasy and thieves.
Robbery was everywhere, the people were in dire straits and everyone was in danger, so many people even said that he was an incompetent, arrogant and extravagant tyrant?
It just so happened that this was the time when Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, established the Sui Dynasty, and the land of China had just ended more than three hundred years of turmoil and division. The people of the Sui Dynasty were the watershed where they inherited the legacy of the Qin and Han Dynasties and suffered the legacy of the Five Husbands who disrupted China.
It was a time when people were very brave and the practice of martial arts was also very popular. Therefore, under the instigation, instigation and laissez-faire of those who were interested, chivalrous men violated the prohibition with martial arts, despised the court or simply gathered in crowds to rebel, causing disaster to all the people in the mountains and forests.
Things became so common that the entire Sui Dynasty gradually became more and more chaotic, and the court's control over local areas became increasingly weaker.
However, no matter how chaotic the world is, the important states and counties around the newly opened Grand Canal and other prosperous places are still firmly controlled by the Sui Dynasty, and at least so far, the Sui Dynasty has not really
It has reached a point where it is on the verge of collapse.
If nothing else, just like here in Yangzhou.
Since the Three Kingdoms and the Two Jin Dynasties, although an important strategic location like Yangzhou has experienced wars for a long time, it has still developed into the most fertile land in the world with its cruising water and land transportation hub!
Needless to say, there is no need to go into details about industry, commerce, traffickers, and so on. Here, there are dozens of martial arts schools and escort agencies that teach people martial arts! Among them, the largest and most prestigious ones are the first ones.
The 'Shilong Martial Arts School' founded by Yangzhou's number one master "Tui Shanshou" Shi Long himself!
In the past, in the territory of Yangzhou, whether it was the underworld or the white gang, even the general manager of Yangzhou, Yu Chisheng himself, had to give Shi Long, who was a local snake, some respect, and would not dare to offend him easily.
Because, in this world, those top warriors all have the power of heaven and earth. It is easy to fly over the walls and climb over the walls. It is not a problem to fight one against a hundred or even against a thousand troops. And the "Mountain Pusher" who is known as the number one master in Yangzhou
Shi Long is one of the best among them. If he offends the other party, is it not impossible for him to rush into Yangzhou Governor's Mansion alone and take the Yangzhou Governor's head?
But...
Today, for the first time in history, a large group of officers and soldiers took the initiative to surround Shilong Martial Arts Hall and broke into the gate of the martial arts hall and entered the spacious courtyard.
They even surrounded the main hall of the martial arts hall in a menacing manner, as if they were ready to continue the attack, showing no mercy to the number one master in Yangzhou and planning to kill him.
However, if you look carefully at the clothes of the officers and soldiers, it is not difficult to find that the ones who led the officers and soldiers to surround the Shilong Martial Arts Hall and attack the Martial Arts Hall compound today were not Yangzhou General Manager Wei Chi Sheng and his local Yangzhou soldiers.
Soldiers and horses, but it seems that they are the kind of golden-armored imperial guards of the Sui Emperor from Luoyang and one of their leaders?
boom!
!
Soon, as the beautiful carved doors and windows of the main hall door of Shilong Martial Arts Hall were instantly shattered, the few golden armored warriors who were about to attack were blasted by a terrifying palm force together with the shattered door.
The armor shattered and he vomited blood and flew backwards. Then he fell hard to the ground more than ten meters away, just like a rag bag. He tilted his head and swallowed his breath the moment he hit the ground.
From the bleeding from their mouths and noses, it is not difficult to guess that they all died from the terrible palm force just now, which instantly shattered their internal organs and caused their lungs to burst. Even wearing tough armor was of no avail.
However, that terrifying palm force that blasted out from the hall and could kill the door and dozens of soldiers in an instant was quickly blocked by another wave of cold air, preventing it from continuing to attack more
soldiers causing harm.
"Well?!"
"This kind of cold air can lead the Imperial Guard..."
"ha!"
"I thought I was a distinguished guest just now, but it turns out... it's Yuwen Clan's outstanding master Yu Wenhuaji!"
"I wonder why Brother Yuwen is so leisurely visiting us and other foreigners?"
After giving him a powerful move and killing at least a dozen Sui soldiers on the spot, Shi Long, the mountain pusher, jumped out of the hall and stood in front of the broken hall door, facing the man who had just used cold weapons at the bottom of the steps.
Yu Wenhuaji, who was blocking his palm, and the group of at least a hundred well-equipped Sui Dynasty imperial guards behind him, asked with a sneer.
Shi Long, the more than a hundred imperial guards of the Sui Palace, didn't take it too seriously. After all, Shi Long, the number one master in Yangzhou, the "Mountain Pusher", was well-known for his reputation. With just a hundred soldiers, he could defeat him in less than a cup of tea.
It can be wiped out completely and then retreat calmly.
However, the leader Yu Wenhua and he had to be careful.
After all, Shi Long knew that the leader of the Yuwen family, Yuwen Shang, was the most famous, followed by the four masters of the Yuwen family, and among them, Yu Wenhuaji, who became the general manager of the Imperial Guards of the Sui Emperor, was the most famous person like them.
As we all know, and he has just seen it, the other party does have that weird inner strength of cold energy, which is undoubtedly the "Bing Xuan Jin". In Yuwen's family, the only one who can pass down the family's secret skill "Bing Xuan Jin" after the clan leader Yuwen was injured
The only one who has mastered "Jin" is Yu Wenhuaji!
"Shilong!"
Seeing Shi Long kill at least a dozen of the soldiers he brought with one palm, Yu Wenhuaji, whose identity was revealed, didn't take it seriously. He just put his hands behind his back and looked arrogantly at the very distinguished man.
Shi Long, who looked like a master, asked with a ferocious smile and urged:
"You got the "Secret of Immortality" but didn't want to submit it. Now that the Holy One knows about it, he will be very unhappy!"
"Today, I advise you to be considerate and obediently serve me?"
"otherwise……"
"I'm afraid all the disciples and their families in your monastery will be executed because of you!"
"Don't say you didn't predict what you said!"
Yes!
Yu Wenhuaji is not just making casual threats. He came here today to ask for the "Secret of Immortality" under the emperor's order. If the other party dares to resist or refuse, then he will turn around and kill everyone in Shilong Martial Arts School.
Kill the weak ones as a warning to others!
"you!
"
"Don't even think about it!"
"Even if I destroy the Secret of Immortality, you will never get it!"
Hearing that Yu Wenhuaji was indeed here for the "Secret of Immortality", although he didn't know how that kind of news leaked out, Shi Long refused stubbornly, even if the other party threatened to destroy his Shilong martial arts school.
No intention of compromising at all.
"Yeah?"
"snort!"
"Then I have no choice but to grab it!"
After saying that, Yu Wenhuaji didn't seem to have much hope for the soldiers he brought who could only wave flags and shout. He just flicked his sleeves, and then took the lead to bully the stone dragon without waiting for him to make a move or escape.
He used his family's secret skill "Bing Xuan Jin" and Shi Long's "Mountain Pushing Hand" to fight fiercely.
boom!
!
First there was a loud noise!
soon!
As sand and rocks began to fly in the Shilong Dojo, cold air surged everywhere, and the two-story-high main hall of the dojo was completely shattered by the terrifying internal energy flow of the two people, leaving those who still wanted to continue to watch.
The soldiers had to flee in all directions.
At the same time, the Yangzhou people who were watching and pointing at the scene on the street outside Shilong Martial Arts Hall no longer dared to stay any longer, and immediately ran away crying and shouting for their mothers, and they quickly ran away.
even!
Even the diners who were eating and watching on the second floor of the inn and restaurant, which was separated from Shilong Martial Arts Hall by a road several feet wide, stood up with greatly changed expressions, and hurriedly fled this place of right and wrong without even bothering to pay the bills.
.
After all, the fights between those warriors, especially the top warriors, are not something ordinary people can see. If one of them is not good, he may suffer a disaster, and his life will be revealed here for no reason, so
, if they can avoid it, most people are still willing to stay away from it.
Of course!
At this time, except for the little girl who was also sitting on an elegant seat next to the open-air guardrail on the second floor of this inn and restaurant facing the street.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh..."
(￣～￣)Chew!
The little girl wearing a red Tang and Song Dynasty-style festive dress, with a full head of black hair and two playful buns, a fair and delicate pretty face, and a pair of black eyes with a faint hint of green is still there.
She ate her delicious food with big mouthfuls, completely ignoring the fight between the two fierce adults in the Shilong Dojo across the street.
"tasty!"
o(｀?′)o
Beside her table, there was a ferocious stuffed toy.
Different from the little girl's exquisite clothes that could be seen from the workmanship and fabrics, the workmanship of the stuffed bear was extremely poor, and the stitching was very clumsy and crooked. I'm afraid even the most popular female workers in Yangzhou City
Some bad ladies will frown when they see them, right?
"Uh-huh……."
(′～｀.) Chew!
Of course, ferocious bear stuffed animals and stuff like that are not important.
The important thing is: at this time, all the customers on the second floor of the inn and restaurant have long since disappeared, and even the waiter has disappeared. I don’t know where she went to hide, but she is still minding her own business and leisurely there.
He was eating his own food in his seat, and even had the mood to turn his head from time to time to watch the two fierce uncles fighting with those things called "martial arts" and "inner power"?
During the fierce fighting on the opposite side, of course there will be a lot of gravel, broken bricks or wood chips flying towards this side, and they will make a clanking sound on the pillars, windows and tiles, and some of them will even hit the ground.
It penetrated deeply into the wooden pillar, which shows how dangerous it is.
However, she remained unmoved, not showing any signs of worry, and continued to eat the table full of delicacies she ordered without any sign of eating.
"..."
(??~??)
"Eh?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"Aren't you going to fight?"
ヾ(^~^*)))
Soon, she discovered that one of the two handsome and ferocious uncles suddenly gave in and ran away from the stone door that seemed to be connected to a secret passage?
"Really, people think they can see that they are full!"
(O ^~^ O)
Seeing that there was nothing left to do, the little girl first sighed, then thought about it, looked at the mess on the table, and then looked at the empty second floor.
He poured a basin of soup and drank it slurpingly.
"ha!"
ε=(???c))) So satisfying!
"You're probably 80% full after eating?"
(?￣?￣?) Hehe!
After taking a sip of the big bowl of soup, she put it down heavily and patted her slightly swollen belly with satisfaction.
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
That’s right!
That little girl was not anyone, it was none other than Anne!
After she left the world of the Orville, she came here by chance. She was familiar with the restaurant and directly chose this seemingly largest and most expensive restaurant to start eating and drinking. She didn't treat others like others at all.
The fight in the Shilong Martial Arts School nearby was on his mind.
And now, after the fierce fight in the Shilong Martial Arts School had ended for a while, she was finally satisfied and ready to leave after having eaten and drank enough.
"!
"
"Ouch!"
"My great aunt!"
At this moment, the waiter and shopkeeper, who had hid somewhere before, came to the second floor. After seeing Annie still sitting in her original position, hiccupping, the other party exclaimed and trotted over, nodding and bowing.
"Jesus!"
"Why are you still here?"
Soon, the waiter ran up to her and looked around Annie with some surprise. After finding that she seemed to be intact, he asked nervously.
"The fight just now..."
"It didn't hurt you, did it?"
After all, he, who has seen countless people, has already seen from Anne's service and skin that the little aunt in front of him is not the same kind of heroic officers and soldiers who just competed in the Shilong Martial Arts School and directly razed it to the ground.
Little people like them can afford to offend.
"??"
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
"Does he look injured?"
(???.???)????
You know, Anne has never seen any big scenes, and how could she take the little fight between the two weird uncles just now in her eyes?
Therefore, when she heard the other party's boring greeting, Anne naturally gave the other party a big eye roll in annoyance.
"ah!"
"Not hurt?"
"Well!"
"It's fine as long as it's not hurt!"
While confirming and marveling, the waiter at the bar couldn't help but nod and bow down in celebration.
After all, this is a location facing the street, and a lot of people were affected by the fight on the opposite side. Looking at those broken windows and pillars deeply embedded with stones and sawdust, it is not difficult to know how terrifying that situation is!
"I said……"
"My sister-in-law!"
"You should be full. The shopkeeper said you won't charge for this meal, so you'd better go back quickly!"
"To save my family from worrying?"
Then, first he looked back at a certain shopkeeper, and then the waiter, who quickly got a hint, carefully advised Anne to leave as soon as possible, so that they could clean up the mess.
Of course, the more important thing is: they just ran away to care for themselves, and they don’t know whether the little girl from a wealthy family was injured or frightened. And if the other family members know about it and blame them, they may not be able to blame them.
I have to walk around without eating!
"No charge?"
(゜-゜)
“It’s not like I don’t have money, so I don’t need you to not charge me money!”
(￢д￢.)
"Here!"
?(?▽?)?○
"for you!"
?(ψ｀▽′)o
It happened that Annie was also full, so she took out a gold coin and threw it into the other person's arms.
"goodbye!"
?(￣??)???
Then she jumped off the stool, grabbed her little bear, rubbed her greasy hands and little face, and walked away along the wooden stairs.
"ah?"
"this……"
Looking at the heavy golden coin in his hand, the waiter was a little dumbfounded.
However, before he could study it carefully and prepare to bite it, the sharp-eyed shopkeeper not far away quickly ran over and snatched it away after seeing Annie coming downstairs.
"..."
??(′?｀?)???
Anne didn't care about what was happening upstairs, and she didn't care about the officers and soldiers outside the restaurant who were enforcing security in front of and around the Shilong Martial Arts Hall and shouting menacingly at some passers-by to stay away. She just looked at herself.
He walked along a busy street somewhere.
"..."
o(▽｀o)
Through the internal strength competition between the two monsters, who were both ice and rock, she had basically understood: this might be a world similar to the Song Dynasty where her Aunt Xu lived, but it might be spiritual.
The concentration is worse, and the era seems to be earlier?
After all, her Aunt Xu's home was in a world with gods, demons, and monsters, but she just saw that those two monster uncles were just powerful warriors at best.
It’s so far away!
so!
Anne quickly came to a conclusion, that is: there may be some demons, ghosts, gods and the like in this world, but due to the thin spiritual energy, maybe it is only equivalent to a low-demon world at best?
Of course!
Whether it's a low-demon world or a high-demon world, Annie doesn't want to mind too much about that kind of thing. She only knows that there are delicious food in this world. For example, just now, she ate several Yangzhou specialty snacks, and for
She was very satisfied with this!
As for the fun stuff...
She is wandering and searching now, and she is not in a hurry, because Queen Anne can always find the right fun for herself at the right time, there is no doubt about it!
But when there is nothing fun to do, she can still beat her little bear, and that's not a big problem.
(??)
(lll￢?￢)
Just like that, Annie, who had eaten and drank enough, took her little bear Tibbs and began to wander aimlessly in the prosperous ancient city of Yangzhou. She kept looking around, and even bought several items.
A little sugar man.
But she didn't eat the little candy, it just looked good in her hand.
After all, it was made by an old man blowing and pinching it with a reed pipe. She saw at that time that the inside of the candy man was full of the other person's saliva, and the outside was also covered with sweat and some dirty dirt. She just
I just bought it as a toy to take care of the other party's business.
"?!"
o(*?^?*)o
Sudden!
She didn't know how long she had been wandering around, until two unlearned guys bumped into her and hurriedly ran out of the city. Anne suddenly stopped and frowned, turning towards the two guys who quickly disappeared into the crowd.
He looked in the direction of the bad guy and blinked his beautiful big eyes, thinking about something.
"Tibbers..."
(????)
"you say……"
(???)?
After watching for a while, Annie, who was originally bluffing, suddenly said in a sinister tone, as if she had discovered something super interesting?
"How do we punish bad guys who just put their hands in other people's pockets?"
?(ψ｀▽′)o
When the two men pretended to be sheep and bumped into her accidentally, they reached into her pocket at an extremely fast speed and were discovered by her on the spot. However, she did not react at that time and even let the other person take it.
A small bag of coins was taken away.
But now that it was better, seeing the other person leaving in a hurry, Annie, who was full and had nothing to do, suddenly felt that it would be a good fun to play with and punish those two people?
"Decided!"
?(*?)?
"Let's follow up and take a look!"
?(?)?.
Then, regardless of the answer of a certain bear, Anne took long strides and followed her slowly, and began to think hard in her little mind: Later, she, Queen Anne,
What on earth are you going to do to make those two scoundrels know that stealing other people's things, especially her Lady Queen Anne's, is wrong and that they should pay the price?
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
(Of course Tibbs doesn’t want to talk to his bad little master. After all, it’s better for her to have fun with other people than to have fun with Uncle Bear, right?)
