Chapter 185 Own Claims
"The emperor can't!"

Hearing Yang Qing's astonishing words, Lu Chu quickly stepped forward to persuade him: "Even if the two armies are fighting, they will not be beheaded, let alone the two sides are still allies now?"

Before he finished speaking, Lang Feng, who was beside him, saw that Yang Qing hadn't said a word, and he drew his sword and slashed at Dazhi without hesitation:

"Catch them all!"

The Miyagi guards who followed followed in unison, and the spears in their hands tipped over, and they surrounded Dazhi and his party in the blink of an eye.

"I'm here on behalf of the Turkic envoy, and the public attacked me. Have you thought about the consequences?"

Dazhi's palm holding the knife tightened suddenly, and the moment Lang Feng's broad-bladed sword came in front of him, a puff of glass-like fine sand came out of the sheath along with the long knife in his hand, firmly supporting the sword.

At the same time, amidst the surge of zhenqi, a little breeze was first generated out of thin air with him as the center, and then it suddenly turned into a gust of wind and spread when no one reacted!

Everyone around felt that the sky and the earth suddenly changed color, and they were no longer in the snow-decorated Luoyang City in a daze, but were swept into the boundless desert wind and sand.

Lang Feng, who was still touching his sword, was startled by the wind and sand, and immediately raised his sword to block his eyes.

He heard countless gravel rolling over the blade and the armor on his body, and there was a dense and piercing sound of gold and iron. The force on his wrist was getting heavier and heavier, and he could hardly hold the hilt.

When he stabilized his backing figure and looked forward again, he saw a sharp edge breaking through the raging wind, slashing down like lightning protruding from a cloud of lead!

"Shhhhhh!"

Lang Fengzheng was about to raise his sword to meet him with all his strength, when he heard three sharp beeps piercing through the four wind walls, and then three sword qi of different colors came across the sky.

The purple red sword energy is the fastest, and it hits the long knife like a streamer on the tip of the knife in an instant.

The cyan sword light followed closely, pointing directly at the center of the brow, forcing Dazhi to fly down from mid-air, dodging hastily.

When the jet-black sword energy, as black as ink, pointed at his chest, Da Zhi had no choice but to raise his palms to greet him.

His true energy was rolling between his palms like quicksand, and the moment he came into contact with the spurting sword energy, there was a clattering sound between the tangible and intangible!
While his own qi was constantly dissolving, Dazhi only felt that the sword qi in front of him was not only as heavy as a mountain, but also unparalleled in sharpness.

Frightened in my heart, I realized that it was too one-sided to watch Yang Qing make a move in Chang'an that day.

Only now that we are facing the top can we realize that the two are no longer at the same level.

Seeing the sword energy stabbing forward in front of him finally began to disintegrate inch by inch in the constant collision with his true energy, the sense of urgency in his heart grew stronger.

As if to confirm the accuracy of the premonition, the next moment the figure in front of him flickered, and Yang Qing appeared in front of him out of thin air, and lightly pressed his palm towards the end of the sword energy.

Under Dazhi's unbelievable gaze, the void around him seemed to be solidified by his palm, and he slapped himself hard with irresistible power!
Originally only a few inches of sword energy remained, after being imprinted by Yang Qing's palm, it immediately broke through his palms and sank into his chest.

With his body in shock, Da Zhi looked up to the sky and spat out a mouthful of blood, and the wind and sand that relied on his true energy dissipated at the same time.

And Yang Qing's palm came through the air amidst the wind and clouds, grabbed his neck and lifted him up high.

"Your Majesty's martial arts are superb, I admit it."

Clenched in Yang Qing's hand, Da Zhi felt a gust of cold true energy pouring into the sea of ​​energy, his limbs and bones immediately lost consciousness, and he could only dangle in the air powerlessly.

He confessed in a very bachelor way, then pulled the corners of his mouth weakly and said: "The Khan's credential is in my sleeve, you can take it and read it yourself."

At this time, everyone also recovered from the brief confrontation between the two, and Lu Chu ran forward first when he heard the words, and pulled out a sheepskin scroll from Da Dazhi's sleeve.

"Your Majesty, here is the letter of credence."

Yang Qing took the leather scroll presented by Lu Chu with both hands, turned his head to look at Dazhi indifferently, and said, "Do you think I am competing with you?
I don't bother to talk to you in Chang'an city, but you dare to hurt my minister in front of the palace city in Luoyang. I really don't know how you survived till now. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Dazhi felt the cold true energy in the sea of ​​qi rewind, and with it, he also pulled away the original source of true energy that he had cultivated for many years.

It was only at this time that real fear arose in his heart, but he could only struggle powerlessly in panic: "You...have taken action against the envoys of other countries in the street, have you lost your dignity?"

"Decent?" Yang Qing threw the parchment scroll in his hand into the air, and then made a pinch seal, and there were several slender electric currents attached to it in the void, and the scroll was scorched and scattered in the blink of an eye:

"It's really shameful for me to let you act presumptuously in Luoyang."

After speaking, he threw Dazhi to Lang Feng's feet with a shake of his hand and said: "Find the deepest cell and lock them all in. When the Turks are destroyed, they will be released."

Lang Feng heard the words and took the order, and then looked at the mighty Dazhi under his feet.

At this moment, his face was pale and lifeless, his body curled up like a boiled shrimp, shivering uncontrollably, and he didn't even have the ability to speak.

"Emperor... Your Majesty."

Lu Chu looked at the group of Turkic envoys who were knocked down by the guards in front of him, and the inexplicably astonished Luoyang officials beside him, opened his mouth towards Yang Qing's back, and finally waved his hands:
"Do it."

Not long after Yang Qing returned to the palace, a group of civil servants headed by Yuan Wendu who heard that the Turkic envoy had been arrested and imprisoned came to the palace one after another.

Everyone gathered together in the study, looked at each other for a long time and finally Yuan Wendu spoke first: "Your Majesty, the matter of the Turkic envoy..."

"Why?" Yang Qing smiled and said, "Prime Minister Yuan thinks something is wrong?"

"Although your Majesty's move is very gratifying, it is tantamount to declaring war openly." Yuan Wendu said with a wry smile, "If the Turks are in trouble, it will definitely not be a good thing for Luoyang at this time."

"There are Li Yuan on the northwest side of Luoyang, and Dou Jiande on the east side. If you want to fight, you should hit them first. What are you afraid of?"

Yuan Wen was silent when he heard the words.

Right now the world is in turmoil, and the Central Plains is like quicksand scattered in all directions, making it difficult to cohere.

The Turks in the north are very powerful, but anyone who has the ambition to fight for the world will not want to stabilize the Turks and spare energy to pacify the Central Plains first.

As strong as the Li family, as brave as Dou Jiande, they all know this truth.

It's impossible for Yang Qing not to understand.

The only explanation for this style of work is that he still has no intention of sitting firmly on the dragon chair.

Thinking of this, he asked helplessly: "Today's news may not be long before it reaches Turkic. At that time, General Pei Xingyan will be alone and there will be no room for change. How should we deal with it?"

"Limit?" Yang Qing shook his head and said, "Turjue and the Central Plains have never had room to talk about it, let alone Xingyan is making such a big commotion in Mobei."

After pondering for a while, he asked back: "What is the current situation in Jinyang?"

Yuan Wendu cupped his hands and replied: "The old minister still received the news ten days ago that Li Shimin led his troops to take advantage of the freezing winter to cross the Yellow River from Longmen to the east, and stationed in the Baibi area to confront Liu Wuzhou's Song Jingang.

The two sides have not yet played against each other. "

Nodding his head, Yang Qing remembered that Li Shimin was stationing troops in Baibi, killing Song Jingang's morale with a strategy of not being able to hold on, and then found the right time to defeat the enemy with one blow.

But now Jinyang is still in the hands of Liu Wuzhou, and the whole of Shanxi is in chaos.

It's freezing cold today, and it's impossible for the Turks to send troops southward in the wind and snow.

It is probably due to these two reasons that Pei Xingyan can be active until now.

It's just that he doesn't know how he survived the cold winter that even the nomads can't do anything about.

"Your Majesty." At this time, Guo Wenyi said: "Although the Turkic national book is destroyed, but people are still locked up in prison, it is better for me to torture you. When I get the exact news, I will send a small team to infiltrate Turkic.

Once you find General Pei's trace, call him back immediately. "

Yang Qing shook his head slowly, but did not respond.

He knew that Pei Xingyan was not a reckless man. Although he spared his life on the battlefield, he was actually rough and fine.

If he was able to come back, he came back early. Not coming back at this time can only mean that he has encountered resistance to not coming back.

Besides, if the Turks could grasp his exact location, why would they send someone to Luoyang Xingshi to question him? It would be more relieved to bring Pei Xingyan's head directly.

The so-called letter of credence that was burned was most likely just venting dissatisfaction, threatening intimidation, and extorting property.

With this in mind, he waved his hand to everyone and said, "Let's go, I have my own opinion on this matter."

Seeing that he didn't care about it, the civil and military people who were originally disturbed by this matter all relaxed and retreated when they thought of Luoyang's location.

The people in Yuan Wendu hesitated for a while, but when Yang Qing left the hall, they had no choice but to leave the hall.

After leaving the Qianyang Hall, Zhao Changwen stopped several people and said, "It's no good for Luoyang to tear up his face with the Turks now, why didn't you mention it just now?"

Several people were silent when they heard the words.

Only Lu Chu snorted coldly and said, "It may not be beneficial to flatter Tu...Tujue."

Zhao Changwen said angrily: "When did I say I want to curry favor with the Turks? But now all parties in the world need to stabilize their situation. The Li Clan is like this, Dou Jiande is like this, and the traitor Liu Wuzhou even wears the same trousers as the Turks.

Luoyang now needs to stabilize the Turks, and can choose to use troops in the spring of the coming year.

But at that time, if the Turks involve energy, how can we talk about expanding our strength? "

"I... I didn't think about it that much." Lu Chu said calmly: "But what the emperor did just now... made me feel very angry. A man of the Han family should be like this so that his life will not be in vain."

In all fairness, Lu Chu also felt that what Yang Qing did was inappropriate.

But recalling that Yang Qing subdued the domineering Turkic people with one palm, he felt a surge of pride in his heart.

Zhao Changwen smiled bitterly and said: "I know that you have been wronged, Mr. Lu, and the emperor's move is indeed a relief. But after this twists and turns, when will our vision of restoring the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty be realized?"

Everyone was silent again after hearing the words.

After a while, Lu Chu suddenly said: "Perhaps it was a misunderstanding that he sat on the throne."

Guo Wenyi frowned and said, "What does Master Lu mean by that?"

Lu Chu sighed softly; "When I was young, I read Zhuang Zhou, and I also thought that one day I could turn into a butterfly and travel around in fantasy dreams. I just think it is the first-class pleasure in the world.

But just now when I saw him in front of the palace gate, with sword energy and palm wind like a frightened bird, I realized that there are such romantic figures among warriors.

That day when he slashed Wang Shichong with his hands, he was indeed a king, which was convincing.

But look at what he is doing now, how can he have the slightest intention to revitalize the Sui Dynasty?I figured it out, better than the Qin and Han Dynasties, there was a time when the dynasties changed, how could the Great Sui be an exception.

He doesn't want to be emperor, nor should he.When the emperor, he is not him. "

After speaking, Lu Chu turned around and walked down the stone steps, walking along the road to the outside of the palace.

"This...Master Lu?" Zhao Changwen called out, seeing that he didn't respond, he could only toss his sleeves and look at Yuan Wendu and the others and said, "This stubborn donkey stopped stuttering today."

Yuan Wendu shook his head and said: "What he said is not completely unreasonable, let's go back."

"Why do you say that, Prime Minister?" Guo Wenyi stepped up to keep up, and hurriedly said beside him: "I have discussed with you, and I want to assist the emperor to decide the Kyushu.

You...why are you all discouraged first? "

After a long breath, Yuan Wen said helplessly: "If the monarch and his ministers are of the same mind, there will be no disadvantages. However, the emperor runs away with all his heart, and he doesn't even want to stay in the palace. What can we do?"

Guo Wenyi stayed where he was, puzzled and said, "The emperor is leaving again?"

Yuan Wendu stopped in his tracks, put his hands into his cuffs and hugged his chest, turned his head and smiled wryly, "You were in the palace just now, didn't you hear the emperor say 'you have your own opinion'?"

"Can we just let him leave like this?"

"He wants to leave, who can keep him..."

……

Sitting alone in Qianyang Hall until noon, Yang Qing first had a full meal, and then sent people to the imperial dining room to prepare a lot of dry food.

Then he picked up the package and left Ziwei City from the north without haste.

As early as when he first returned to Luoyang, when he heard that Pei Xingyan had entered Mobei alone, he had the heart to go there.

It is not only to bring people back, but also to meet Bi Xuan, the number one master of the Eastern Turks and one of the three masters in the world.

But at that time, he was focused on creating seal formulas, and Pei Xingyan had just left for a short time, so he delayed it.

Although the Yin Jue has not yet formed yet, I have tried all the ideas in my mind, and sitting in the palace may not make progress.

It is also reasonable to simply take advantage of Kodazhi to travel.

Walking all the way to the north of the city, Yang Qing suddenly remembered that he still had a house here, which he bought when he first arrived in Luoyang.

After living in Ziwei City for a long time, I forgot about it.

Seeing that it was still early, he turned into the alley, and when he arrived at the door, he found that there was a latch inside.

He remembered that he didn't lock it when he went out, but now it has been locked up by others.

After knocking three times but no one answered, Yang Qing raised his hand and wiped in front of the door, a wave of suction force was transmitted through the wooden door, and the latch at the back immediately opened.

Stepping into the courtyard, he didn't go to the main room to check, but turned and pushed the door into the kitchen following the three sensed breaths.

Immediately, his eyes swept away, and three figures were reflected in the dark corner.

A shabby woman in rags with two young children.

At this moment, the woman was pointing at Yang Qing with half a piece of firewood in one hand, with a terrified expression.

The two children were tightly guarded by her behind her.

"You... who are you and what are you doing at my house!?"

Yang Qing laughed and said: "I am the owner of this house, and I didn't lock it when I went out."

"..."

The woman was stunned for a moment, then suddenly knelt down on her knees and kowtowed: "I... I don't know that there are people living here, let's go now, let's go..."

As she said that, she got up and pulled up the two children and was about to leave.

"You don't have to go."

Looking at the narrow doorway blocked by Yang Qing, the woman was stunned again, and then suddenly said: "I... I don't have any money for you, and I really didn't mean to break in, but there is really nowhere to go, and there is no access here." Only the lock..."

As she spoke, she hesitated and said, "If you don't think we are burdensome, I am willing to work for you, and I can do anything!"

Yang Qing glanced at the tattered clothes of the three people who could barely cover their bodies and asked, "He came from the north?"

"Yes Yes."

With a change in his mind, he remembered that the Turks ravaged the northern border of Luoyang a month ago.

Naturally, there is no influence in Mengjin Pass, but those rural people who originally relied on Luoyang for survival outside the pass will inevitably suffer from it.

"Are there many people entering Luoyang?"

The woman's face was blank with horror, she shook her head when the tears fell silently: "There are not many, they are all dead, and we won't cause trouble to you people in the city, we will leave now."

"I told you that you don't have to leave, this house is for you. The deed is pasted under the wooden table in the main room, and you keep it yourself."

Putting down the package full of dry food and two ingots of silver in his hand, he turned and went out...
