The wind and snow were as sharp as a knife. Chai Shao, wearing a long coarse cloth coat and a bamboo hat on his head, drove a dilapidated ox cart slowly out of the winding and narrow Lishan mountain road, and turned onto the flat official road despite the snowflakes.

, snowflakes covered the bamboo hat, and the long coarse cloth stuffed with reed flowers did not have much protection against the cold. The severe cold made Chai Shao's face turn green with cold.

There was no servant, and the old ox pulling the cart was borrowed. The old cart, which was almost falling apart, was loaded with furniture from the summer resort built in Lishan when Lao Chai's family was prosperous. That cottage has now changed its surname.

The new owner didn’t want the furniture. Chai Shao couldn’t bear to throw it away, so he borrowed the ox cart to carry the old furniture away.

I pulled it down from Lishan and prepared to transport it back to my new home in Chang'anfang, Daxing, for my father and his family who were paralyzed in bed. Although these furniture were old, they were urgently needed items for the new home with bare walls - many things.

You really only know how valuable something is after you lose it.

The ancient famous bridge Baqiao on the Bashui River was already in sight. Chai Shao, whose hands were already frozen, could not bear the cold. He just put his hands to his mouth to warm them, but his dull eyes suddenly moved, because Chai Shao suddenly saw two people.

The rich young man in bright clothes and angry horse is fighting with Cong Ba

He rushed over the bridge, followed by groups of servants, carrying swords and bows, carrying cages and birds, leading hounds and flying eagles. Although they were still far apart, it was not clear who the two wealthy young men were.

Who? Chai Shao quickly lowered his head, worried that he would be recognized if he met an acquaintance.

The horse arrived very quickly carrying two wealthy young men. Just by listening to their playful sounds, Chai Shao already knew their identities. He knew that one of them was Yuan Qi, the grandson of Yuan Ya from Shunyang County, and the other was Li Zhongwei, the Duke of Zhenxiang County.

His youngest son, Li Yangcheng, was once

His playmates, I don’t know how many times they rode horses together with me, hunted and shot rabbits, fought cocks and dogs, and were romantic and happy. In the past, Chai Shao liked to do this with them, but now, Chai Shao doesn’t even see him.

I don't want to see them, to be precise I am afraid of seeing them.

He lowered his head and tried to hide, but he couldn't hide anymore. Li Yangcheng, whose riding skills had been ridiculed by Chai Shao many times, was as bad as ever. He was riding a horse on a flat and wide road, but he still couldn't control his mount.

, hit Chai Shao's bullock cart with a bang, almost killing him

The shabby bullock cart crashed into pieces, and Li Yangcheng himself almost fell off his horse. In the past, Chai Shao would have laughed loudly and wantonly, and he and Yuan Qi would have made Li Yangcheng laugh until he became angry, but this time, Chai Shao would not even say a word.

He made a sound and lowered his head a little more.

Patience was useless. While Li Yangcheng yelled at Chai Shao for not having a good eye, the servant Li Yangcheng brought for hunting also rushed up with curses. A servant on horseback whipped Chai Shao's body with a whip and cursed: "

Did you blind your mother? You almost knocked our young master down, why don't you get down and kowtow to our young master to apologize?"

The whip struck very hard, hurting Chai Shao's body and heart. Chai Shao suddenly remembered a sentence, "Don't bully young people into poverty."

Another whip came, and it flew away the bamboo hat covered with thick snowflakes. After seeing Chai Shao's face under the bamboo hat, Li Yangcheng, who had already rolled up his sleeves and was about to do it himself, suddenly screamed, "Brother Sichang, what's going on?

You? Stop and step back. This is Chai Shao, the eldest son of Julu County. Mr. Chai is dying. Why don’t you quickly apologize to Mr. Chai?"

Raising his head reluctantly, Chai Shao forced out a smile and said to Li Yangcheng and Yuan Qi: "Yangcheng, Brother Yuan, long time no see, how are you?

"Okay, we are all fine." Li Yangcheng nodded quickly and asked curiously: "Brother Sichang, why are you dressed like this? What happened? Didn't I hear a few days ago that you joined the army to serve the king of Yanmen?

When did you come back to Daxing?"

Hearing Li Yangcheng's series of questions, Yuan Qi on the side laughed out loud. Chai Shao's face turned red from the cold, and it took him a long time to reluctantly answer: "It's been a while since I came back.

, I resigned from my position in the army and came back to do some housework."

"Resigned from your position in the army? How could you give up?" Li Yangcheng was shocked and asked with an exaggerated expression: "Didn't I hear that brother Sichang, didn't you make a great contribution this time? Even Chen Yingliang, Marshal Chen, the commander of King Qin's army, said

You are full of praise for your performance, and you have personally praised your contribution to His Majesty the Emperor. You have a bright future, why are you willing to resign from your position in the military?"

His frozen hands were so stiff that the joints turned white. He slowly looked away from Li Yangcheng's weird smile, suppressed the anger in his chest, and said with restraint, "I don't like things in the military camp, and I'm in the East."

We all violated the criminal law and felt that it was not interesting, so I resigned as captain and returned to Daxing. I have something to do, so I will leave first. Brother Yangcheng and Brother Yuanqi, we will see you again if we are destined."

After that, Chai Shao didn't even pick up the bamboo hat that was caught in the wind, and just urged the cow forward. Fortunately, the servants brought by Li Yangcheng didn't stop him, so Chai Shao was able to leave slowly, but he hadn't gone far yet.

Shao heard the wild laughter coming from behind the car again...

"You are so damn bad. You know that in order to raise money for his father-in-law, he sold off all his family property, and you deliberately stopped him from asking so many questions. You are just slapping him in the face."

"So what's the matter with a slap in the face? It's your own fault. If my brother-in-law could be as powerful as General Chen, I would have walked away in Daxing City long ago. You Yuanqi met me. If you dare not give me

Make way, I will come up with a whip."

"Fuck you, are you really beating me? Your sister is so ugly, I don't even want to marry me, but General Chen can also like her? Haven't you heard? Wang Shichong, the general guard of Jiangdu, is also a local general.

In order to marry General Chen, he gave his only daughter to General Chen as a side wife."

The insults and ridicules penetrated into Chai Shao's ears one after another, and they were like needles, pricking into Chai Shao's heart one after another. The pain penetrated into his heart and lungs, making Chai Shao's liver and gallbladder burst. Two drops of crystal tears gradually seeped out of Chai Shao's heart.

The corner of Shao's eyes......

Chai Shao drove Lao Niu Broken Car away slowly, but Li Yangcheng and Yuan Qi were still chattering in the same spot. It was not that they were still laughing at Chai Shao, they were just waiting for a few companions who came later. After a while,

One after another their companions

When they caught up, they were all wealthy young men with their servants. Li Yangcheng and Yuan Qi immediately grabbed one of their companions and shouted, "Brother Dugu, did you see your cousin-in-law go by just now?"

"

"My niece-in-law?" The question asked in confusion was a man in his thirties wrapped in a white fox fur. He was the nephew of Empress Dugu, the wife of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. His name was Dugu Huaien, and he was also a cousin who had a close blood relationship with Li Yuan.

.

"Of course it's Master Chai Shao," Li Yangcheng said with a wild smile: "Aren't you and Tang Guogong cousins? He is Tang Guogong's son-in-law, isn't he your cousin-in-law?"

Surprised, he asked and found out that it was Chai Shao who was driving the shabby bullock cart just now. Not only did Dugu Huaien not have the slightest sympathy, he also spat heavily at Chai Shao's leaving back, "My cousin's family in the Bah Sangmen Star.

I was hurt so badly by this man, if he hadn't looked down on others, would my cousin have gone bankrupt?"

Seeing Dugu Huaien's angry look, a group of powerful disciples suddenly laughed louder and more unbridled. While laughing, another group of slaves with hawks and lackeys rushed over the bridge, numbering a hundred people.

, their attitudes were also very arrogant, and the two leaders were even more luxuriously dressed.

They are both in their thirties, one has a fleshy face and a ferocious appearance, and the other has a thin face and a sinister expression, but they are the two precious sons of Yu Wenshu, the first man in the Sui army, Yu Wenhuaji and Yuwen Zhiji, Li Yangcheng and

Lonely Wynn and other powerful men did not dare to neglect them when they saw them, and quickly dismounted from their horses to greet them.

"Eh? Why is it you?" Yu Wenhuaji, who was full of anger, reined in his horse and asked in surprise: "You guys are here to shoot too?"

Li Yangcheng nodded quickly and said that several of his good friends had made an appointment to go hunting in Lishan Mountain today. When Yu Wenhuaji heard this, he immediately became happy and said with a big grin: "What a coincidence, my second brother and I also decided to go hunting in Lishan Mountain on the spur of the moment.

, by the way, the name of a hot spring in Xingchen Tangli Mountain), since we have met, let’s come together, I will treat you to a drink later.”

All the rich and powerful children cheered loudly, completely ignoring that Yu Wenhuaji and Yu Wenzhiji's current household registration status were just slaves. They were all scrambling to flatter Brother Yuwen. One praised Yu Wenhuaji's fox fur clothes for being white and pure, worth thousands of gold, and the other

Praising Yuwen Zhiji’s war horse

The tall and divine horses are a famous breed of Dawan. They are laughing and noisy and lingering for a long time. The servants and servants they brought also crowd the wide official road. Passers-by dare to be angry but dare not speak. Pedestrians detour, cars and horses stand still, and they wait patiently.

These bad guys stopped making noise and got out.

"Brother Huaji and Brother Zhiji are still so majestic after all." Dugu Huaien praised: "Brother, I grew up in the imperial city. I only have about twenty followers when I come in and out. I don't dare to bring anything except swords, hunting and bows.

Decent weapons, for fear of being caught by the Yushi Yanguan. Like the two Yuwen brothers, they can bring hundreds of followers with them when they go out to hunt in the city, and they even bring military crossbows."

After being reminded by Dugu Huai'en, Yiyu Dandy discovered that among the hundreds of followers brought by Yu Wenhua and his brothers, they indeed carried about a dozen military crossbows with the seal of the Wei Palace. They were envious of all the dudes and hurriedly raised their weapons.

Flattery, Yu

Wen Wenji laughed loudly and said: "Of course, I don't know other places. In the land of Jingzhao County, there is absolutely no second official son who dares to do this to our brothers, with so many entourages and such

"Weapon Hunting"

The sound of wild laughter stopped suddenly, because Yu Wenhuaji suddenly discovered that - the slap in the face was coming - to the east of the official road, a rich man in luxurious clothes, riding a taller and more elegant pure white war horse, extremely pretentious

is trotting this way, and behind him, there are actually several

He had a larger team of followers, and what made Yu Wenhuaji even more intolerable was that the weapons and equipment of these followers were actually better than those of his followers. Each of them carried expensive and high-quality horizontal knives, and had bows and crossbows on their backs.

, the color of the feather arrows is even more pretentious, they are all snow white.

Yu Wenhuaji, who had just boasted that no one in the land of Jingzhao dared to compare with his brothers, became even more furious when the rich young man rode closer.

Handsome, with fair skin, oily hair, and pink face, he happens to be the type of pretty face that Yu Wenhuaji hates the most. Now that I heard about it,

After the dandy boys who were fawning around him were talking in surprise about who the visitor was, Yu Wenhuaji became even more furious and hurriedly stopped his horse in the middle of the avenue. The servants and servants brought by Yu Wenhuaji understood this and immediately

They lined up and completely blocked the road, and many servants even pulled out their horizontal knives in an aggressive manner.

The action of drawing the sword aroused the vigilance of the pretty boy's entourage. A tall and tall black-faced knight immediately stepped out from the crowd. While instructing the followers to protect the pretty boy, he shouted: "Who are you? What do you want? Why are you blocking our way?

?”

"Uncle, who am I? You can ask me?" Yu Wenhuaji asked fiercely, pointing at the pretty boy who looked so annoying, and shouted: "Boy, you are very courageous. You dare to do this outside Daxing City."

Walking with so many followers? Who are you showing off to?"

The pretty boy didn't answer, but shook his head in a strange way, and muttered something like Daxing and I were really at odds with each other, why were we in trouble every time we came back? Then he raised his hands to Yu Wenhuaji and said with a smile: "Young Master, you have misunderstood.

, I am not showing off, bringing so many followers, I have no choice but to do it. If there is any offense, please forgive me. Also, I have urgent business to return to the city, please get out of the way."

"It's okay to make way. First, please report your father's name and official position, and let me see if you are qualified enough to let me make way." Yu Wenhuaji said grandly.

When the black-faced knight heard this, he was furious and was about to step forward, but the pretty boy stopped him. He smiled at Yu Wenhuaji and said, "Sir, my father has passed away many years ago. You must have never heard of his name. I don't think you need to."

After reporting, he doesn’t have any official position, but my younger brother is a serving military attache, so I asked the young master to make way because I really have an urgent need to return to the city."

"Serving military attache? Are you a serving military attache?"

Yu Wenhuaji laughed wildly, and Dugu Huaien, Li Yangcheng and other dandies laughed even more when they heard this. They even encouraged him: "Young Master, tell him to crawl under your crotch and see if he dares to steal your limelight."

?”

After listening to the instigation of the dandies, Yu Wenhuaji really got off his horse, spread his legs and stood on the road, laughing wildly and said: "Boy, give you a chance to crawl under my crotch, and what happened today will be over. Otherwise, I will
