(ps: Regarding the title of the book, is it not enough for my book to be called Jiangming? Is everything Yun is someone else's patent? Is it because others are famous?)

"Anzhi, will they be sad if you deceived the aunt Hongfo and Xiaodi like this?"

Ou Siqingqing rode beside Li Xian and asked worriedly.

Li Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Do you really think I can deceive my aunt?"

He looked back at the direction of the camp and said, "Auntie knows that she can't hide it from me. When Grandpa encounters danger, I will definitely go back to Yanshan. In fact, my aunt is willing to promise Grandpa to leave Yanshan to find me. In addition to taking Xiao Di away so that Grandpa has no worries, isn't it that deep down I'm looking forward to me going back to help Grandpa? My aunt won't tell me clearly because she is very conflicted."

"She was worried about something that happened to her grandfather and also about me, so she was in a difficult situation. Don't look at her aunt smiling so brightly when she met, in fact, the sadness in her eyes could not be hidden from others."

Li Xian paused for a moment and said, "At least I can't hide it from me."

"Actually, she knew I was going back to Yanshan, so she just pretended to have been deceived by me. She was worried about me, but she didn't want me to know that she was worried about me... It's very difficult for my aunt."

"Since that's the case..."

Ou Siqingqing couldn't understand: "Why do you need to lie to her? You can tell her directly that you will go back to Yanshan and ask your aunt to take good care of Xiao Di. This way, she should feel less uncomfortable, right? At least she won't feel guilty, right?"

She looked at Li Xian's side face and asked seriously,

Li Xian also turned his head and looked at her eyes and answered seriously: "I didn't lie to my aunt."

"What?"

Ou Siqingqing didn't understand for a moment, and when she suddenly understood what Li Xian meant, her face turned pale. Because she thought of Li Xian's answer, she felt like a big stone was suddenly blocked. In an instant, she was a little breathless. She looked at Li Xian in panic, with her mouth slightly open, and the expression on her face made people feel distressed.

"Let's go..."

Li Xian slapped Ou Siqingqing's butt on the butt of the war horse: "I'll take you home."

"I don't!"

Ou Siqingqing did not follow Li Xian, and she shouted two words loudly behind Li Xian.

"I don't want to go back!"

She stopped where she let tears flow across her cheeks.

Li Xian stopped, turned around, and said in a plain tone: "Go back to your parents, they are the ones who love you the most. They will not let you suffer any harm. Moreover, if you don't go back today, you will regret it in the future. I believe that if your parents are by your side, they will not agree to you follow me. Instead of regretting the pain in the future, it is better to just separate and enjoy the benefits now."

This tone of Ou Siqingqing is very familiar, just like she was touched on a small building by Qingniu Lake that day.

"Have you anger!"

Ou Siqingqing shook her head stubbornly: "I have regretted it once, don't let me regret it again. My mother once said that if one day I meet a man who makes me cry for him, laugh for him and do nothing for him, just follow him! Anzhi... don't leave me."

She shook her hand to Li Xian, and she seemed so helpless in the night.

"What you said, eat together until you have sex and play until you have sex, how can you go back on your word?"

Her tears flowed into her mouth, wet her lips, but her heart was bitter.

Li Xian took a deep breath and asked Ou Siqingqing seriously: "It will be dangerous to go back with me. You don't know how many enemies I have in the Central Plains, and the strength of the enemy is beyond your imagination. If you really want to go with me, you must be prepared to die with me. Are you... ready?"

He asked, are you ready to die with me?

Ou Siqingqing nodded vigorously: "As long as you don't leave me behind, go by yourself."

Her tears were crystal clear under the moonlight, as pure as the stars in the sky.

"If we can't eat until we are old and play until we are old, we will die together."

She said this under the moonlight.

Li Xian rubbed his sore nose, stretched out his hand, and grinned: "What are you waiting for?"

Ou Siqingqing cried and laughed, laughing so well. She patted the war horse and chased Li Xian's hand, holding it so tightly.

I don’t know who gave a cheer first, and then all the blood cavalry lined up in an orderly manner, pulled out horizontal swords and stood upright on their chests, witnessing a joy with a standard military salute. They were all the best soldiers, so they were even more reluctant to see parting and sadness.

Li Xian ran to the front of the queue and said loudly: "Let's go home!"

The blood cavalry who had been wandering on the grassland for several years used a horizontal knife to hit the cavalry shield on his left arm and shouted neatly: "Go home!"

At this moment, a sense of pride arose in Li Xian's heart.

He looked at the world's Zhirui blood cavalry, and Ou Siqingqing who was obsessed with him not far away, and suddenly he wanted to shout. It's time to go back. No matter what the road ahead is, he must face what he should face. He has never been alone. Before, there were Zhang Zhongjian, Hong Buddha, Xiao Di, and Tiefutu's brothers. Now, there are more blood cavalry, and there are more girls who are willing to accompany him to eat and play until he is old and die with him.

He and Ou Siqingqing ran forward hand in hand, laughing.

It was soon dawning and the sun rose eastward.

After a brief rest, the Blood Rider continued to go on the road, heading south, and moving forward.

Under the rising sun in the morning, a black dot was hovering back and forth in the sky. When the black dot gradually fell clearly and slowly on a big tree, Li Xian saw clearly that it was an eagle that was still young but could already fly high. It could soar in the sky and then flew back to his home.

...

...

Huaiyuan Town

"It's going to be dark!"

A middle-aged man with a kind face and tall figure stood on the earth wall, muttering at the Goguryeo military camp that was faintly visible across the Liao River in the distance.

He was very thin, so the cloak draped over his shoulder seemed very empty. He wore an official uniform of a Sui military general, but there was no knife hanging around his waist. Looking at the Liaoshui River running in the distance, the middle-aged man frowned. It was the sun shining at noon, but he whispered nonsense that it was almost dark. The few people standing behind him nodded in confusion, as if they all agreed with the middle-aged man's nonsense.

"Natural is almost dark"

A man with gray hair in his forties echoed, "Duke Tang, it's better to prepare early."

The middle-aged man waved his hand slowly and said, "Zhaoren, I have said many times that I should devote myself to the Great Sui ministers. If you don't want to destroy my Li family, then don't mention what you said before."

The man sighed and stopped talking.

His name is Liu Wenjing and his courtesy name is Zhaoren.

The one who was called Tang Duke by Liu Wenjing was naturally Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang who was the capital of the army in Huaiyuan. Just now, Li Yuan and his advisers were discussing that from the beginning of the year, several major thieves in the northern land had been engaged in anti-Sui Dynasty. Liu Wenjing took the opportunity to persuade Li Yuan to make plans. Li Yuan just shook his head and refused, and it was hard for everyone to say anything else.

"Sun Anzu, Zhang Jincheng, Wang Bo..."

Li Yuan sighed and said, "They can't accomplish anything."

In the seventh year of Daye, Sun Anzu, a native of Qinghe County, was forced to serve without his wife starving to death, and he was forced to serve. He angrily killed the county magistrate. With the support of Dou Jiande, he recruited the people to rebel, led his army to Gaojipo, and called himself Moyang Gong. In just a few months, he had attacked several county towns in a row. Although he had not conquered, it had already caused panic among the people in nearby prefectures and counties.

Not long after, Sun Anzu's Qinghe fellow villager Zhang Jinsheng also raised the flag to rebel. He occupied Juluze and harassed counties and looted the people everywhere. He echoed Sun Anzu in Juluze, one in south and one in north, and the momentum gradually became huge.

Compared with Sun Anzu and Zhang Jin, Wang Bo, a native of Qi County, was more famous. After discussing with his fellow villager Meng Rang, he rebelled together and occupied Changbai Mountain. In just a few months, he developed into a powerful armed force of tens of thousands of people. He claimed to be Zhishilang and wrote a song about Mo Xiang Liaodong's death that had been circulated widely in a very short period of time. (Note 1)

"Hongji, I heard that you have something to do with that Sun Anzu?"

Li Yuan turned his head and asked a burly and strong young military officer standing behind him.

This man was about 1.9 meters tall, with a tiger-backed and ape-like waist, wearing a sixth-rank lieutenant uniform, holding his hand on the horizontal knife beside his waist, with handsome eyebrows and majestic weapons.

"He was a veteran of his father. I met him several times when I was young."

Liu Hongji, his father Liu Sheng was the governor of Hezhou in the Sui Dynasty and had an old age with Li Yuan. After Liu Sheng died, his family declined and was very poor. In February, the Emperor Yang Guang of Daye issued an order in Zhuo County to bring his own horses, armor and weapons to gather in Zhuo County. Liu Hongji was unable to afford a horse and walked to Zhuo County. Halfway through the road, he had no travel expenses, and he stole a plowing ox with a butcher and slaughtered a plowing ox and sold meat. He was sued to the government and went to prison. Li Yuan happened to find out that he sent money to redeem him. Since then, he has been with Li Yuan. Li Yuan has been following him, and he admired and trusted him when he saw his bravery. (Note 2)

"Don't mention this matter again, don't tell anyone."

Li Yuan frowned and said, "Sun Anzu is a traitor. He is not a veteran from your house. You have nothing to do with him, do you know?"

Liu Hongji looked at Li Yuan gratefully and bowed, "I've recorded it."

Li Yuan said with a nod, "You walk with Shimin more often on weekdays. He is good at practicing martial arts. You are good at teaching him more skills. Just treat it as half of his teacher, so that he can experience more knowledge and avoid being too proud."

Li Yuan’s eldest son Li Jiancheng said: “He will definitely be very happy if Brother Hongji teaches Shimin to practice martial arts.”

Li Yuan glanced at his gentle eldest son and sighed: "You are so spoiled by your brothers as you usually dote on your own. Shimin is better, and Yuan Ji is even more naughty!"

Li Jiancheng owed his body and said, "Father, Yuan Ji is still young, and he is just naughty. If you take care of it too harshly, it will be bad."

What Li Yuan was most pleased with was that his three legitimate sons had a harmonious relationship, and his brothers were respectful. Especially the eldest son Jiancheng and the second son Shimin, the two were even more intimate. This was the case since childhood. No matter what Li Jiancheng did, Li Shimin would follow him like a follower.

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Ziqi, there is something you need to remember. Our family is not as good as before. Remember not to be publicized in your daily life, so as not to be honest."

"The boy has written it down."

Li Jiancheng agreed respectfully.

Li Yuan sighed and said, "It's going to be dark and the world is going to be in chaos. Our Li family should be more careful. We can keep the family safe. If you brothers and sisters have no worries about food and clothing, I have no other extravagance."

After saying that, he took a look at Liu Wenjing inadvertently, his eyes elusive.

Liu Wenjing was panicked and had to find a topic to change the atmosphere: "Duke Tang, have you ever heard the prophecy of that old nun before his death?"

"Zhaoren! Shut up!"

Li Yuan's unreasonable anger scared everyone. He turned his head and looked at Liu Wenjing coldly and said, "No one is allowed to mention this matter again. If you still want my Li family to survive, just pretend that no one has heard of it."

His angry look was chilling. At this time, the counselors under Li Yuan suddenly discovered that the middle-aged man in front of them, who was laughed at as Old Woman Li, had a cold murderous intent while looking around.

Note 1: Because of the plot of this book, the uprising time of Wang Bo and others was slightly advanced. Wang Bo rebelled against the Sui Dynasty in October of the seventh year of Daye, not written in this book. In addition, Changbai Mountain occupied by Wang Bo is in Zhangqiu, Shandong today, and is not Changbai Mountain in the northeast.

Note 2: No word about Liu Hongji, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and others was found, so the book was omitted or fabricated. In addition, the specific time when Liu Hongji and Liu Wenjing joined Li Yuan should be after Emperor Yang of Sui first conquered Goguryeo, and it should be when Li Yuan was left behind in Taiyuan. Liu Hongji did kill the cow, but later he ran to become a horse thief after he was released from prison.

Attached is the song of death written by Wang Bo.

In front of Changbai Mountain, Shilang was wearing a red silk brocade crotch. The long snail invaded the sky, and the wheel sword shone with the sunlight. Going up the mountain to eat roe deer, go down the mountain to eat cattle and sheep. Suddenly, he heard that the official army was here, and he carried the sword and swung forward. It was like the death of Liaodong, what would be hurt if the head was beheaded!

Finally, I would like to thank the book friends for their questions. Regarding eunuchs, it was an official position established by Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, and was held by eunuchs. I originally thought it was nothing, but since I proposed it, I will explain it. The reason I wrote this is because it is popular. Jiangming is not a rigorous historical novel. I have said this sentence many times. If I really write it according to complete historical facts, I will definitely not have that level. Thank you again, I will not change it, so let it do this.
Chapter completed!
