Chapter 5 Road Encounters
Although Chen Laosan repeatedly objected to Chen Yingliang's joining the army in Liaodong, and even knelt down and begged Chen Yingliang to reconsider and not to go to the front line and take risks with his head tied to his belt and cut off the Chen family, Chen Yingliang did not listen at all.
There is no way to accept Chen Laosan’s kind advice.
Chen Yingliang doesn't have much time left. According to the normal historical process, Li Yuan will raise troops from Taiyuan in four years and sound the clarion call for the destruction of the Sui Dynasty. Five years later, Emperor Sui Yang will be killed in Jiangdu, officially declaring the demise of the Sui Dynasty.

A group of powerful men such as Shi Chong and Li Mi are about to rise, or are even rising quietly. If Chen Yingliang still wants to join this game of world hegemony, he has very little preparation time left, and he cannot waste any more time.
The opportunities provided by Fang Xuanling to Chen Yingliang were not big, but Chen Yingliang had to seize them firmly. Daxing was the later city of Chang'an and the western capital of the Sui Dynasty. There were so many dignitaries and descendants of officials and gentry in the city. Even if there were any opportunities to get ahead in development,
Ye Lun
Not to mention Chen Yingliang, a descendant of a declining family. What's more, Chen Yingliang also had a feud with the prosperous Chai family. The Chai family could not tolerate Chen Yingliang's rise under their noses. It was Chen Yingliang's wisest choice to leave Daxing and develop elsewhere.
.
Chen Yingliang didn't care about his position. Zhao Da had to work as a cook, Ming Taizu also worked as a monk for several years, Boarskin worked as a slave for Li Chengliang, Killer Luo Li worked as a doctor, and great men also worked as librarians.
compare with them
As soon as he got up, Chen Yingliang could take up the position of secretary to the senior generals of the Sui army when he entered the official career, and his starting point was much better than them! Therefore, Chen Yingliang must not miss this opportunity! Because this may be Chen Yingliang's only chance to rise rapidly!
Rely on high-ranking officials, show your ability, build reputation, stand out, accumulate strength, and then act according to the circumstances, and strive for world hegemony if you advance, or lead the way and become a royalist in exchange for glory and wealth. This is the life plan Chen Yingliang has re-formulated for himself!
Buy horses in the east market, buy saddles and bridles in the west market, buy bridles in the south market, and buy whips in the north market.
After resting for a period of time, he recuperated his body and completely integrated the memory left by the dead ghost Chen Yingliang. After becoming familiar with the basic situation of this era, Chen Yingliang immediately started preparing to go to Liaodong to join the army. First, with the help of Fang Xuanling, he took the firewood
There is never any party at home
The betrothal jade pendant that someone came to exchange for was sold for a good price, which was exchanged for travel expenses and living expenses. Then Chen Yingliang bought himself a horse and two sets of sturdy clothes that he could change on the road. Then he went to Blacksmith Street in Daxing City alone to prepare.
Buy yourself weapons for self-defense.
Scholars in ancient times liked to travel around the world with swords. Chen Yingliang, who was still a scholar in his household registration, did not like flashy things like swords, so he bought himself a horizontal knife forged from mixed steel. This thing was very powerful when chopping.
Extremely strong, far stronger than
The sword that the master blacksmith blew up to the sky is practical. At the same time, what makes Chen Yingliang secretly happy is that Chen Yingliang, a dead ghost who was born as a general, actually has a set of military sword skills in his memory. Although it is not extraordinary and exquisite, it is not so that Chen Yingliang cannot even use a sword.
.
He bought the knife and put it on his body. It was still early, and he thought that he would leave Daxing City in a day or two. With some time, Chen Yingliang took the knife and wandered around the streets of Daxing City, admiring the street scenes and customs of this era.
In line with the public sentiment, Chen Yingliang also asked him to say goodbye to Daxing City. After leaving, Chen Yingliang really didn't know how long it would take for him to come back.
Seven years after the Great Cause, the world was in chaos, but there were few wars in the Guanzhong area. As the western capital of the Sui Dynasty, Daxing was naturally still prosperous. People came and went on the streets, and there was a lot of traffic. Some particularly prosperous streets were often crowded.
, Chen Yingliang was on such a street. He was so crowded that he was covered in stinking sweat and couldn't walk around for a long time\u5b8

cThis street is less than two miles long.
After finally walking through this busy commercial street, Chen Yingliang learned his lesson and did not dare to wander in the bustling streets again. He chose a relatively deserted street to wander, preparing to buy some wine and meat to take home to invite Fang Xuanling and get to know Fang Xuanling.
Xuanling, Fang Xuanling has invited Chen Yingliang to drink several times in the past few days. Chen Yingliang has shown great appreciation, and now that he has a little more money, Chen Yingliang naturally wants to invite Fang Xuanling back.
"What do you want to do? Get out of the way, get out of the way! Do you know who this sister is? Don't seek death yourself! Help! Someone come quickly! Someone come quickly!"
A masculine voice came from the alley on the side of the road. Chen Yingxiang walked to the entrance of the alley out of curiosity and saw several men dressed as naughty men standing side by side in the alley. They stopped a white-haired man without a beard.
The old man and a pretty girl in green were talking dirty words. The old man with white hair and no beard was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He protected the girl in green with his body and pointed with an orchid finger.
He shouted at those scoundrels in a sissy tone, "You little beasts, why don't you get away quickly? If you dare to touch a hair of my young lady, your whole family will be killed!"
"Old immortal, get away!" A rogue pushed the white-haired old man to the ground and reached out to pull the girl in green. The girl in green was so frightened that she backed away and said with a lewd smile: "Little lady, use
Don't be afraid, my brothers just want to buy you a drink because they see you wandering the streets lonely, nothing more."
This was the first time he had encountered such a thing in this era. Chen Yingliang, who was accustomed to this kind of work in modern society, didn't think much about it and subconsciously shouted, "What are you doing? Let her go!" and subconsciously touched his waist.
He was equipped with a gun and handcuffs, but he didn't touch the gun or handcuffs. Instead, he touched the sword he just bought today. Chen Yingliang didn't hesitate and immediately drew the sword out of its sheath.
But this loud shout was enough. When they heard Chen Yingliang's voice, the gangsters who were laughing strangely immediately turned around. When they saw Chen Yingliang standing in the alley with a horizontal knife in his hand, the expressions of the gangsters without weapons inevitably changed.
, the green-clothed girl breathed a sigh of relief, and the white-haired old man quickly got up, and while using his body to protect the green-clothed girl again, he shouted: "Brother, kill these bastards quickly, I'll give them to you
You are responsible, and I am responsible for anyone’s life!”
"Boy, if you're smart, get away and don't seek death yourself!" A leader-like ruffian threatened fiercely: "The leader of the Daxing County Yamen's office, Wang, is my brother-in-law!"
"Ha!" The white-haired old man laughed out loud, and said with a loud voice: "Who is a squad leader of the county government? My master can crush his whole family to death with just one little finger!"
"I don't care who your brother-in-law is." Chen Yingliang ignored the words of the white-haired old man and shouted at those ruffians: "You are molesting a decent woman in broad daylight. If you are smart, kowtow to apologize and get out now! Otherwise, I will kill you in self-defense."
kill!"
"Fuck you!" the ruffian was furious, shouting while picking up stones from the ground, "Brothers, come on, beat this nosy bastard to death!"
"Kill him!"
A few thugs were obviously used to being tyrannical in this area. They rushed over without saying a word. Chen Yingliang quickly raised his knife and prepared to fight. But at this moment, Chen Yingliang suddenly heard the sound of wind in his ears, one on the left and one on the right.
A man rushed up and started fighting with the gangsters without saying a word. He knocked them to the ground with a few blows, completely destroying Chen Yingliang's rare chance to save the beauty. But the two
The man still refused to give up, and continued to punch and kick the rogue who had fallen to the ground. His attacks were particularly ruthless, focusing on the vital points. His moves were all harmful to the muscles and bones, and one of the rogues was even kicked in the crotch.
The pain was so painful that he screamed like a slaughtered pig and passed out immediately.
After beating all the thugs to serious injuries, the two men immediately knelt down to the girl in green, kowtowed and said, "I'm late waiting for help, please forgive me."
"You two bastards, why are you here now?" The white-haired old man became arrogant again, pointing at the two men and yelling, "Do you know, Miss, she was almost in danger, if she fell?
A hair, you will be cut into pieces by your master when you go back!"
"The villain deserves to die!" A man kowtowed and explained: "After the villain and the lady got separated, he went through a lot of effort to find this place. The villain did not protect the lady well, so please punish the villain.
"
The white-haired old man with the duck's voice wanted to bluff, but the girl in green stopped him and said in a gentle voice: "Uncle Xie, forget it, it's okay if they can get there in time. I'm fine, don't scold them."
.You all get up, don’t worry, I won’t tell mother when I get back.”
After saying that, the girl in green raised her head again, bowed to Chen Yingliang, and said softly: "Thank you very much, Master, for drawing your sword to save me. My daughter, Yang Yu'er, thanks you for your great kindness."
Yang Yu'er left an excellent impression on Chen Yingliang. She was pretty and pleasant, and her speech and behavior were extremely gentle and polite. She was exactly Chen Yingliang's favorite type of woman - with such a wife, there was no need to find a mistress and be exposed.
Worried about the consequences of being too dangerous, Chen Yingliang quickly sheathed his sword, returned the salute to Yang Yu'er, and said humbly: "Miss Yang, there is no need to be polite. I just saw an injustice on the road and drew my sword to help."
"It's a pity that we only saved half of the life. I pulled out the knife, but I wasn't the one who saved the girl." Chen Yingliang added with a smile, making Yang Yuer smile, and she also had a good impression of Chen Yingliang.
.
At this time, the alley was already crowded with passers-by who heard the fighting and shouting and came to watch the excitement. Among them, there was also a figure of a businessman in public clothes. Seeing this scene, Yang Yuer winked at the white-haired old man next to him.
The old man understood and immediately went forward to negotiate with the official. Yang Yuer's other two followers guarded the entrance of the alley, preventing anyone from entering. Chen Yingliang also unexpectedly got a brief moment to talk to Yang Yuer alone.
"By the way, I haven't asked Mr. Gao what his name is yet and where he lives." Yang Yu'er said politely.
"I don't dare take the surname Gao." Chen Yingliang replied: "My name is Chen Yingliang, and I am from Daxing."
"Chen Yingliang?" Yang Yuer's reaction was very strange. First she showed a look of recollection, and then suddenly asked Chen Yingliang: "Mr. Chen, do you know Miss Chai Qian from the Duke's Mansion in Chejun?"
"Miss Yang, how do you know her?" Chen Yingliang was shocked.
Yang Yuer smiled, her branches quivering with laughter, which was both mysterious and touching, and said: "Sister Qian'er and I are friends, or very good friends. I also know that not long ago you divorced Qian'er, who was married to you by fingertips.
Sister."
"You even know about this?" Chen Yingliang was a little dumbfounded.
Yang Yu'er nodded, pursed her red lips and chuckled: "Sister Qian'er heard about this, and she wanted to fight you. If the Duke of Cheshire hadn't stopped her, she was not allowed to make this matter public. Sister Qian'er
With your temper, I must have brought a sword to your door to kill someone. Later, Sister Qianer told me about this and even... scolded you a few times."
Chen Yingliang smiled bitterly and said nothing, unwilling to continue discussing this issue with Yang Yu'er. Unexpectedly, Yang Yu'er turned out to be a warm-hearted person and asked with a smile: "Mr. Chen, in fact, Sister Qian'er is also a good girl, how about it?
Do you want me to say a few nice words for you, help you and Sister Qian'er get together, and continue your affairs?"
"Thank you Miss Yang for your kindness, but no need." Chen Yingliang shook his head firmly and replied: "There is absolutely no possibility between me and her. Besides, it was her family who proposed to break off the engagement. If I ask her again, what will happen?
Doesn’t it make her look down on me even more?”
Yang Yuer's expression turned out to be a little regretful, and she glanced at Chen Yingliang again, and then said softly: "Mr. Chen, since you and I are destined to meet each other, and you saved me, then I will speak for you on Sister Qian'er's side. Originally
Duke Cheshire wants to wait until the limelight has passed before looking for you... But don't worry, I will stop them."
It would have been better if Yang Yu'er didn't say that. After hearing what she said, Chen Yingliang's anger towards the Chai family suddenly rose again, and he said yes, it turns out that the Chai family and his son are really planning to settle accounts after the autumn, and they are ready to wait.
You want to seek revenge from me after the limelight is over, and you are blocking the news for fear of damaging your reputation! Okay, let's wait and see, whether you want to settle accounts with me, or I want to avenge Chai Shao's kick!
At this time, the white-haired old man had returned to Yang Yu'er. I don't know what methods he used. Several government servants entered the alley and did not ask what happened. They just dragged the gangsters out silently.
, Yang Yuer also saluted Chen Yingliang and said: "Mr. Chen, it's late, it's time for my daughter to go home. We are destined to meet again."
"See you again if we are destined." Chen Yingliang saluted with his hands in hand, and took the initiative to move to the side of the road, allowing Yang Yu'er to lead the white-haired old man and his two followers out of the alley.
Watching Yang Yuer leave, Chen Yingliang murmured in his heart: "Miss Yang, it seems that we can only meet again by fate. There is an old man who is neither male nor female, and two followers with high martial arts skills, let the tolerance
You didn’t even dare to say anything, but you directly said your surname was Yang. Do you think I really can’t guess your identity? But, we are too far apart. For a girl like you, I really can’t guess who you are now.
I don’t dare to have any ideas about you. Let’s talk about it later if there is any fate.”
At the same time, the white-haired old man also came close to Yang Yu'er's ear and whispered: "Your Highness, I didn't dare to reveal your identity. I only revealed my own identity and said that you were my distant relative. How many people did I have?"
An official from Daxing County will take care of those scoundrels for us."
Yang Yu'er nodded, very satisfied with the white-haired old man's handling, and looked back at Chen Yingliang in the alley, smiling secretly in her heart: "Hehe, he is quite handsome, polite and polite, and has a very chivalrous heart. Sister Qian'er, maybe you can
