.

When Xiao Buyi heard that the woman was Zhai Rang's daughter, he realized that the target of assassination was good.

He pulled out Wagang Village and captured other people's father. Zhai Wushuang came over and gave him only a sword. It was really polite.

The guards rushed up and had already forced Zhai Wushuang with swords. Xu Shiji on the upstairs frowned and knew another person named Zhai Mohou, who was Zhai Rang's nephew. These two people had some skills, but they were even worse than themselves. Now they didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was strong, so they came to assassinate Xiao Buyi. After evading the time, Xu Shiji knew that most of the two had not met Zhai Rang, and only thought that Xiao Buyi had killed Wagang's people, so he planned to assassinate.

The scene when Zhai Rang let him go was vivid in my mind. Xu Shiji sighed secretly, thinking that no matter what, he would still save these two people, which was his last time Zhai Rang got up and walked downstairs. He felt a look at him. Looking back, he saw the woman in black turning her head and just having a meal.

Does she recognize herself? Xu Shiji was a little surprised. Before she could think too much, she had already arrived near Xiao Buyi.

When the soldiers saw a bearded man approaching General Xiao quickly, they were afraid that the remaining party of the assassin would scold him, "Who is the one? Stop!"

Xiao Buyi glanced at Xu Shiji, a little surprised, and waved: "This is General Li of my subordinates, let him come."

The soldiers hurriedly made way for a while, but Xiao Buyi ignored Xu Shiji and just looked at Zhai Wushuang.

Zhai Wushuangduan was beautiful and elegant. Standing there, she looked heroic. Although it was a sword and sword, she was not afraid. The man beside her was the same. She kept struggling, but Pei Xingyan cut his hands back and couldn't break free.

"I didn't expect that the remnants of Wagang will have you waiting," Xiao Buyi laughed loudly and said, "General Li is here just right. You can capture these two remnants back to my mansion, interrogate them strictly, and investigate carefully to try to capture all the remnants."

Xu Shiji smiled bitterly. "I deserve the order."

But Xiao Buyi immediately looked at Yang Wang and said, "Premier Yang, after several delays, I will rush to meet the saint. Just leave these chores to my subordinates to handle."

Zhai Wushuang and the others went from assassination to being arrested. In the blink of an eye, Yang Wang saw Pei Xingyan's bravery, Xiao Buyi's guards were so strict, and Xiao Buyi's sword was sharp, so he couldn't help but secretly wiped his cold sweat. He thought that thanks to Lord Xiao's kung fu, he was not bad at all, and he had such a powerful general around him to guard him, otherwise he would have to be buried with him if he died in Liang County.

Since Lord Xiao had an order, Yang Wang was happy to be idle and allowed Xu Shiji to take Zhai Wushuang and Zhai Mohou to leave, but he accompanied Xiao Buyi out of Liangjun City and rushed to Guandu, the canal.

When Xiao Buyi and Yang Wang arrived at the canal, the golden sun had already hung high, and the water surface was also brilliant.

Xiao Buyi has been in Liangjun these days. Yesterday, he learned that Yang Guang's dragon boat was here and the imperial edict was summoned. He never had the chance to see Yang Guang's dragon boat. However, whether it is the golden car, Ziwei City, the luxurious palace or the heavily guarded Liuhe City, they are all magnificent and seek luxury. In his heart, this dragon boat must be amazing. It is much bigger than the common large boats, but when he saw the palace-like dragon boats standing on the canal from afar, he was mentally prepared, but he was still shocked.

He really couldn't believe that such a big ship could be built with ancient technology and technology.

The ship is not only big, but also many, not only many, but also magnificent.

The boats on the entire canal are endless, endless, and the fleet almost spread to the sky.

Dragon boats, phoenix boats, brocade sails and colorful cables stretched over the canal, covering the river surface in colorful colors. The cavalry lined up on both sides of the shore, stretching along the coast, and shuttled non-stop. No one was allowed to approach. When Xiao Buyi and Yang Wang arrived here, the guards had to give orders to lead Xiao Buyi to the fleet. Yang Wang was not allowed to summon him, nor dared to come forward. He only said that he would hold a banquet to entertain General Xiao and ride a horse to turn around.

Xiao Buyi came to the fleet from the shore, and there was no feeling at all on the river surface, just because the boats were cleverly catching the boundaries, and they were walking on flat ground.

Xiao Buyi first passed by two warships that opened the way, Baihu and Xuanwu, and then passed by the large ships that Feiyu, Qingfu and other guards took, and then came to Yang Guang's dragon boat.

Whether it is the white tiger, the black trunk, the flying feather, or the green duck, only when you are in it, you feel tall and magnificent, with tight defenses, and you can see strong crossbows, hard bows, and cruising spears and halberds everywhere. It is not inferior to the defense in Liuhe City.

Xiao Buyi was walking in it, and couldn't help but sigh. It was just like this, a big ship was piled with bones from many people.

Before coming to Yang Guang's dragon boat, Xiao Buyi looked up and saw Yang Guang's dragon boat in the middle of the fleet. The bow was carved into a dragon head, vividly appearing. The boat was four floors high, forty or fifty feet high, and looked up like looking at a palace. The hull was in a dragon shape. Although it was stretched straightly, the craftsmen's handcraft was fine, and the carving was winding and undulating, like a dragon walking in the clouds. The hull was very long, with more than two hundred feet.

There are more ships behind the dragon boat, namely Phoenix Boat, Lingbo, Fifth Floor, and Taoist ships, but they are for the queen, princess, kings, officials, monks, nuns and Taoists to ride.

Xiao Buyi boarded the dragon boat, and saw the golden jade and brocade colors, without any envy, and only felt sad.

He knew that when Yang Xuangan rebelled, he had already burned the dragon boats. After Yang Guang quelled the rebellion, the first thing he did was not to reflect on his mistakes, but to ask the craftsmen in Jiangnan to speed up the production of new dragon boats. Seeing the continuous boats on the canal, most of the canal water flowing below was the blood of the craftsmen and the people.

The dragon boat is like a huge palace, the main hall, the inner hall, the northeast cemetery hall, and the gallery are everywhere, with gold decorations, beautiful carvings, and extremely luxurious.

Xiao Buyi arrived at a side hall and waited. However, after a cup of tea, the palace servants had already taken Xiao Buyi to see Yang Guang. The journey was twists and turns, and the soldiers were on guard. Xiao Buyi secretly said that since the Luoshui attacked, Yang Guang had been more alert. Not to mention assassination, it would be difficult for ordinary people to get close to the dragon boat. Walking into a magnificent hall, seeing all the ministers, Yang Guang was high and frowned. Xiao Buyi was happy when he saw Yang Guang. He was more irritable when he saw Yang Guang. He thought that there were many emperors throughout the ages, and it was rare for him to be as tired as his local area.

Xiao Buyi bowed and worshiped, and said in a deep voice: "My minister Xiao Buyi, I have seen the emperor."

Yang Guang waved his hand, "No gift to calm down."

Xiao Buyi thanked the emperor and glanced at the ministers sideways, and found that most of them were familiar with each other, and everyone was worried and frowned. Even Yuwen Shu was the same. He knew that if the current chaos was already in chaos, the ministers would not think about the Great Sui Dynasty, but also thought about themselves. Everyone understood that this was not the time to go to Jiangnan. But no one dared to dissuade them. From the Golden Palace to the Jianguo Gate, from the Yellow River to Liangjun, there were countless people who beaten to death along the way, all of whom were persuasions, and everyone was shocked. They were all vigilant and protected themselves.

Yang Guang asked about Xiao Buyi's pacification of Wagang. Xiao Buyi briefly said that although the ministers knew the news, they were slightly excited when they heard this. After listening to it, Yang Guang said with a sigh of relief: "Wanggang was removed, and Dongdu was a major concern. Xiao Aiqing made an indelible contribution. Xiao Aiqing. Do you know what I meant to summon you here?"

"The Lord has given instructions, and I will do whatever I want." Xiao Buyi responded.

Yang Guang was satisfied with Xiao Buyi's attitude. Xiao Buyi had already made him suspicious. But firstly, Xiao Buyi was very popular with the queen, and secondly, he saved his life twice, and did several major events, and never took credit for himself. In Yang Guang's opinion, today's statement was much better than those ministers who advised him.

What he decides does not require others to accept advice, but only unconditional execution by his ministers.

"I want to stay in Liang County for a few more days. I heard that the thieves in Huaibei are rampant, Lu Mingyue and Zhang Jin said that the most terrible troubles were made. Xiao Aiqing was quite effective in suppressing bandits. The battle of Wagang made bandits frightened. I decided to let you join the army with Yang Taipu, who was suppressing bandits in Pengcheng County, to go to the expedition. I wonder what Xiao Aiqing wanted?"

"Abide by the order." Xiao Buyi bowed and said, "I don't know when the wee minister can leave for Pengcheng?"

He had heard of Lu Mingyue. When he was in the Eastern Capital, Zhang Xutuo had been fighting against Lu Mingyue. At that time, Lu Mingyue was in Qi County and was far away in Shandong. Unexpectedly, after being defeated by Zhang Xutuo, he had now moved to Huaibei. Most of the thieves in the Central Plains were like this. Except for Dou Jiande, Wang Bo, and Zhai Rang, most of them were wandering around. Li Zitong was also unable to survive in Changbai Mountain, so he developed into Jianghuai. It was not difficult to defeat, but it was not easy to capture and kill these cunning bandits. As for Zhang Jin, he was considered an old acquaintance with Xiao Buyi.

When Yang Guang saw Xiao Buyi's respect, he finally showed a smile on his face, "No rush, Buyi, the queen and your father miss you quite a bit. Now they are all on the boat, go and meet."

Xiao Buyi felt a little nervous, but his face remained calm and said, "I received the order." Yang Guang waved his hand and called a palace servant over and ordered him to take Xiao Buyi to see the queen.

Xiao Buyi followed the palace servant, with a smile on his face, but he felt a little bitter. He did not expect Xiao Dapeng to go south with the queen. Could it be that this was also Yang Guang's move, using Xiao Dapeng's life to make him loyal to his duties? This method is common for Yang Guang. In order to prevent his ministers from rebelling, Yang Guang placed most of his family members in the Dongdu. Every time he went on a tour, most of his important officials followed him. Xiao Buyi did not expect that this move would be used on him now.

The flying dragon boat is smaller than the dragon boat, but the decoration is gorgeous, which is no different from Yang Guang's dragon boat.

In ancient legends, Chi is a hornless dragon, also known as a female dragon. The dragon head at the head of the boat is hornless, which is quite peaceful.

Xiao Buyi boarded the Xiangchi Boat, and Empress Xiao quickly met. When Xiao Buyi saw Empress Xiao alone, she couldn't help but ask strangely: "Where did the uncle go? Haven't you been with your aunt?"

Xiao Buyi asked Xiao, the Yin Qing Guanglu doctor. Empress Xiao sighed softly, "Most Buyi doesn't know yet. When he was in the capital, your uncle advised the emperor not to go south. As a result, he was demoted to Hechi and became the county magistrate. I still miss him very much."

Speaking of this, Empress Xiao was full of resentment and frowned.

"It is not a wise move to go to Jiangnan," Xiao Buyi said in a deep voice: "If the old bandits are ready to move today, if the emperor arrives in Yangzhou, if there is a traffic barrier, the order will soon be ineffective. Each county will do its own affairs. I am afraid that the Great Sui Dynasty will be in danger. If my aunt arrives in Yangzhou, I think it is better to be in Dongdu."

He expressed his meaning in a silence. In fact, although this aunt had never said much to him, she had always been sincere to him. Whether it was from the history in his mind or his analysis, he believed that Yang Guang would never have the chance to return to Dongdu when he arrived in Jiangnan this time. No matter what, his nephew always had to remind the queen of his responsibilities.

Queen Xiao was silent for a long time before saying, "Buddha, I can't live without your uncle."

Xiao Buyi thought for a long time before he realized that this uncle was Yang Guang, which made him feel a little funny. If his uncle was in his time, he would be considered a relative, but he did not feel like he had a relationship with Yang Guang at all.

"But..." Xiao Buyi wanted to speak but stopped, and finally found that some things were destined, even if you knew the ending.

He no longer believes in the history in his mind. History has never mentioned him Xiao Buyi. He tried his best to do things, but he just wanted to control his destiny in his own hands. But now it seems that he is powerless to do many things.

"When I married your uncle at the age of twelve, I recognized him as a man. Before marrying your uncle, I actually liked Dapeng very much. I knew he was a man who valued affection." Empress Xiao said sadly: "But these are all fate, common people. I gave birth to two sons, but unfortunately the prince died early and the King of Qi was not a good match. When I knew you were Dapeng's son, I had long regarded you as my biological son."

Xiao Buyi was a little moved and finally said, "Auntie is very kind."

"If your aunt hadn't kept saying good things about you, how could you be smooth sailing? Becoming the general today, you will be incredible?" Xiao Dapeng didn't know when he had arrived in front of the door and sighed: "Bulli, the Great Sui Dynasty has many military achievements, but you are the only one who can improve."

Queen Xiao smiled and said, "Cousin is such a bad word. I am just following the flow. If it is like Buyi and King Qi, no matter how much you recommend it, it will be useless. Buyi. I know that you are most likely to blame your father for following me down the south of the Yangtze River, so that you cannot do things with peace of mind."

Xiao Buyi was a little embarrassed, "Auntie was joking. If I could help my aunt relieve her boredom, my father would be the same everywhere."

Xiao Dapeng wanted to speak but stopped, but Empress Xiao whispered: "A man is determined to be in all directions. It is not a long-term way to be peaceful. Although the aunt is a woman, she also knows this truth. I don't believe it. I don't believe it, but what if I don't believe it? Before you left, a rumor circulated in the east, saying that the queen was wandering around Yangzhou and wandering in the garden. Don't say anything, who would like to say that? When I heard this rumor, I laughed and didn't expect that the rumor would come true. I actually wanted to go to Yangzhou. This is probably a life, a life that I can't escape."

Xiao Buyi frowned. Seeing Queen Xiao’s sadness, she didn’t know how to relieve it. She glanced at Xiao Dapeng and saw him staring at the queen blankly. In addition to family affection, there seemed to be tenderness in her heart.

"I have been with your uncle for more than 30 years. No matter where he goes, I will follow him. In the water and fire, this is also fate." Empress Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Bulli, you probably don't understand this kind of relationship. In the eyes of the people, he may be a foolish monarch, in the eyes of the ministers, he may be too stubborn, in your heart, he may be an unreasonable uncle, but in my heart, he is my husband, the husband I will follow for the rest of my life."

Xiao Dapeng lowered his head sadly and said nothing.

Xiao Buyi whispered: "Aunt, I understand that sometimes there is a fate, and it is impossible to force it. Since that's the case, I can only hope you be careful."

"But my cousin doesn't have to go to Yangzhou with me." Empress Xiao whispered: "Dapeng, we are destined to reunite and separate again. You have been with me in Kyoto and accompany me all the way. I thank you, you and Buyi, leave here. Don't worry, with me here, the Lord will never stop you."

Empress Xiao and Xiao Buyi's eyes fell on Xiao Dapeng. There was tears in the corner of Xiao Dapeng's eyes, but he smiled and said, "Look at what you said, life and death are the same. Buyi, your father is fine, just want to go to Yangzhou with the queen to see the prosperity. Would you object?"

Xiao Buyi's eyes flashed across the two of them and smiled and said, "I'm just afraid that you will disturb my aunt's purity."

Queen Xiao turned around and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Xiao Buyi stood up, "Dad, just look at the prosperity. Don't be fooled by the women in Yangzhou. Your son, I still have to go to conquer you, so I won't accompany you to Yangzhou."

"Queen, look, this kid is becoming more and more distorted. Why do you say that to his father?" Xiao Dapeng chased Xiao Buyi out of the room. He turned around and said, "Queen, I'll give him a ride."

The two arrived on the deck. When Xiao Dapeng saw that no one was paying attention around him, he lowered his voice, "Buyi, you won't blame me, do you?"

"Blame you, why blame you?" Xiao Buyi asked knowingly.

Xiao Dapeng was a little sad, "Bulli, your father has no prospects in his life, nor has he done any major things. The only thing that is to be grateful is that he has you as his son, and the only thing that is that he left your aunt back then, my life is not worth much, you don't have to take it seriously. Do whatever you should do, don't treat your father as a dish. Sometimes, what you pursue for the rest of your life may not be what you want. Dad has no prospects, don't learn from me."

He said something messy and the words were not meaningful. Others were probably puzzled after hearing this, but Xiao Buyi understood it. He looked back at Xiao Dapeng and nodded and said, "Dad, in this life, people always have to do a few things they want to do. I understand you, but you are careful. Also, I will send someone to Yangzhou to contact you." After thinking about it, Xiao Buyi added, "Dad, let the relationship be natural, don't force it."

"Look at what you said, it seems like you are a father." Xiao Dapeng smiled, but his expression was a little strange. When he saw Xiao Buyi wanting to start, he suddenly asked: "Buyi. I have always forgotten to ask you, what did he say to you when you met Li Yuan in Taiyuan?"

Xiao Buyi was a little surprised, "What did he say to me?"

Xiao Dapeng shook his head, "It's nothing. Okay, you go, be careful of everything, dad can't help you, and you know that you can make the decision."

Xiao Buyi nodded and left, not wanting to persuade him anymore. Xiao Dapeng looked at Xiao Buyi's back, sighed softly, and murmured: "I have a good son, so I should be content." Xu?"

"What does this mean?"

"This is a nursery rhyme circulating in Dongdu recently, indicating that the world is about to be in chaos!"

In the deep mountains of Wagang, several bandits gathered on a big rock to bask in the sun. The leader flew everywhere, saying that the land was very wise, and the thieves looked at him with admiration.

One person asked, "Jia Xiong, you haven't left Wagang, how can you know about Dongdu?"

Jia Xiong said disdainfully: "Learn people are all planning and winning thousands of miles. How can they be as superficial as you? But I know this secret word because the people in Dongdu know about me. Do you know? A few days ago, a man named Li Xuanying came to join Wagang. Speaking of this nursery rhyme, everyone has long known it in Dongdu. But if you want to unravel the mystery, you must be me."

"What's the secret?" The rest of the people scratched their heads, a little confused.

Jia Xiong was disdainful and thought to himself that no wonder someone was arrogant and someone was a bull and horse for the rest of his life. This is fate and cannot be forced.

"Jia Xiong, don't keep it a secret, talk to us quickly." The thieves urged.

Jia Xiong said proudly with a soft voice: "What's hard to understand? This folk song means that the emperor today should be on the ground. Taolizi means that the escaped person is the son of Li, the queen circling Yangzhou, and the garden means that the emperor and the queen are going to Yangzhou and will never come back."
