Yang Zhao had already regarded the two men as his own and as his subjects.

Fang Xuanling was stunned by Du Ruhui's behavior and looked at him with extremely puzzled eyes.

Du Ruhui felt annoyed and secretly glanced at Yang Zhao.

Yang Zhao chuckled, restrained his majesty that seemed like a real version of himself, and waved his sleeves to show that he didn't care.

Du Ruhui finally breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Fang Xuanling, "Brother Fang, Your Highness is the most legitimate ruler of the Great Sui Dynasty. Within the imperial territory, everything in the universe and the operation of the world are all controlled by Your Highness. You and I are originally citizens of the Great Sui Dynasty. It is our duty to be subjects of Your Highness. We must not be presumptuous or disrespectful."

Fang Xuanling: "..."

Du Ruhui of Puni Laomu, this test was originally proposed by you.

Chapter 442 Li Jing: Really Smells Good

Yang Zhao was quite tolerant towards Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

The two chose to test each other, and Yang Zhao also gave them some respect and let them perform.

But Fang Xuanling's last question touched upon the bottom line. It was not that the relationship between Yang Zhao and the Song clan was shameful, but there was a hint of coercion in Fang Xuanling's words.

This was a provocation to the authority of Emperor Yang Zhao.

All I can say is that Fang Xuanling drank a little too much and failed to grasp the right measure.

From the very beginning, Yang Zhao positioned himself as the ruler of the Sui Dynasty and the ruler of heaven and earth, rather than a local lord who was eager for talents in troubled times.

Fortunately, Du Ruhui was courageous and sharp-minded, and he acted decisively. After surrendering, he avoided a disaster.

When Fang Xuanling was a little sober, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Sure enough, drinking can cause trouble.

To those who are interested, the relationship between His Highness Yang Zhao and the Song clan is as obvious as lice on a monk's head. It is enough for them to know it in their hearts. Why force the other party to admit it?

Just like the aristocratic families in today's world.

The Yuwen clan was the vanguard of the king and was just a puppet.

The three Lis united to plot something evil.

Yang Guang lost power and was on the verge of defeat.

Can these things be stated directly on the surface of a person? Who doesn't want a little face?

You shouldn’t, you really shouldn’t.

Following Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling quickly bowed to Yang Zhao. After pledging his allegiance, he turned over his wine glass on the spot like a good boy, indicating that he would definitely give up this drink in the future.

But Yang Zhao's gaze at this time was directed at Li Jing, the only one left among the three people.

Different from the collateral descendants of aristocratic families such as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

Li Jing's background was actually quite good. He was from a branch of the Longxi Li family that was quite close to the core. He also had the support of Han Qinhu, one of the Nine Elders who founded the Sui Dynasty.

In terms of stance, Li Jing could either support the Li clan or Yang Guang.

Only Yang Zhao was the one who was the farthest away from Li Jing.

It sounds like bad luck.

Li Jing was originally just a low-ranking military officer on the frontier. After seeing the impending chaos in the world, he resigned and came to Luoyang City. He planned to find out the mentality of the aristocratic families in the world, and then find an opportunity to join Yang Guang and offer a strategy in order to seek a high position and display his talents.

During this travel, Li Jing accidentally met Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

All three of them were talented people, and they talked about everything, which was quite comfortable.

I had originally planned to have one last drink with Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui before the He Shi Bi came out, and we would go our separate ways after tomorrow.

Who could have thought that just by drinking a lot, Fang Xuanling would provoke Yang Zhao.

Just provoke them if you want, and just keep quiet and act as an invisible person.

But Fang Xuanling, as he drank, he got drunk. He seemed to be in high spirits, but in fact, he was just courting death.

Yang Zhao is indeed a wise leader, who is both tolerant and has the courage to embrace the universe.

But it doesn’t matter, I want to surrender to Yang Guang.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the two sixth brothers, surrendered to Yang Zhao on the spot.

Until now, Li Jing felt almost numb from being watched so leisurely by Yang Zhao.

"Your Highness, Jing is just a small soldier in Mayi City. He cannot compare to the talents and wisdom of Brother Xuanling and Brother Keming..."

"Pharmacist, you don't think your uncle is really dead, do you?"

"This……"

"I heard that the pharmacist is quite fond of a woman in the Duke of Chu's mansion, her name is Zhang Chuchen, is that true?"

"Ah? Your Highness, Jing..."

"You are nearly forty years old, but your cultivation is only at the Grandmaster level. Do you want to become a celestial being or a martial saint?"

"Gulu, Jingfei..."

"I have a military book containing the secrets of pre-Qin military tactics. I have hundreds of thousands of soldiers under my command, but I lack a commander."

"Your Highness, please accept Li Jing's greeting."

With Yang Zhao's current status and various resources, it would be easy for him to control Li Jing, a man with poor aptitude for cultivation, older age, mental constraints, and thirsty for fame.

As for Yang Guang?

Bah, what Yang Guang? The legitimate and eldest son of the Sui Dynasty only needs His Highness Yang Zhao.

It turns out that no one can escape the law of true fragrance.

When Li Jing completely joined Yang Zhao's army, the atmosphere in the whole room became lively again and returned to its previous harmonious atmosphere.

Yang Zhao was delighted that he had gathered a group of top talents from the Sui Dynasty and snatched away Li Shimin's right-hand men.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were also very happy to have found a wise leader.

Li Jing was not good at speaking. At this moment, he was still immersed in the promise made by Yang Zhao, and his imagination ran wild.

And just when Yang Zhao and others were having a great time.

Suddenly, a very noisy sound was heard in the hall downstairs.

"You bastard, you are a steppe barbarian. How dare you be so arrogant in the territory of the Sui Dynasty? Take this axe from me, Old Cheng."

"Don't be so arrogant, you black bastard. If you want to touch my master, you have to get past me first."

"Cheng Yaojin, let me lend you a helping hand. Let's first get rid of this sissy from the Yuan Dynasty..."

"What do you have to do with the people of the Ming Dynasty? Get out of here."

"Xiao Zhuang, don't meddle in other people's business."

"It's so lively, let's fight, fight quickly..."

When I opened the curtains, I saw the lobby of Tianhe Tower.

A group of fierce and rough-looking people, a group of Yuan Dynasty foreigners in luxurious clothes, a group of handsome men from the Ming Dynasty, a group of gangsters from the Qin Dynasty, and a group of people who looked like Beggars' Gang were all in chaos.

"Who are these people?"

"Your Highness, those ruffians are a group of rebels on the Wagang Mountain in Qilu, the Great Sui Dynasty. The leader is Zhai Rang, and the most vicious one under him is the devil Cheng Yaojin. In addition, there are Wei Zheng, Xu Shiji, and Shan Xiongxin, all of whom are not ordinary people."

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Li Jing have been in Luoyang for a long time and are very familiar with the people here.

Yang Zhao nodded, and then looked at the others.

Li Jing was in the frontier and was very familiar with foreign races. He said, "Your Highness, the person from the Great Yuan Dynasty is Wang Baobao, the son of King Ruyang. His guard is Bi Xuan, a Turkic tribe strongman under the Great Yuan. As early as 20 years ago, he was as famous as Fu Cailin and Ning Daoqi. He was very famous among the Turks and had a strong cultivation base."

Yang Zhao smiled, glanced at the sissy next to Wang Baobao, and said, "He is an acquaintance."

In the hall, the person who was called "sissy" was none other than Princess Minmin of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhao Min, who had had some interactions with Yang Zhao in the past.

In addition, Yang Zhao was also no stranger to the people of the Qin Dynasty.

Nie Gai's bloody remains were roaming the world, Wei Zhuang's white-haired appearance made him arrogant to the princes, and the rest, including the Mohist School, the Liusha School and other anti-Qin organizations, unexpectedly, all came to Luoyang City to join in the fun.

As for the last group of Beggars' Gang.

Yang Zhao immediately recognized the little Huang Rong who was the loudest and most eager to join in the fun in the crowd. To be more precise, she was not little anymore.

Chapter 443: Yang and Li join forces and meet Huang Rong again

Tianhe Tower is the property of the royal family of the Sui Dynasty in Luoyang City. It is also the place designated by Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen to choose the emperor on behalf of heaven.

Many people are quite disdainful of Cihang Jingzhai's selection of the emperor on behalf of heaven.

But the Heshi Bi, according to legend, is a piece of jade from outer space that was found among ancient relics. Some also say it is a piece of five-colored stone that was dropped by Nuwa when he repaired the sky. There are even rumors that the Heshi Bi is a treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Pre-Qin Empire.

No one knows its exact origin, but it is undoubtedly the most top-notch treasure from heaven and earth.

The reputation of the He Shi Bi can be said to be extremely well-known in the six dynasties and the Kyushu world.

Also because of the existence of He Shi Bi.

Today, Luoyang City is extremely bustling, attracting countless extraordinary people from other dynasties and the martial arts world.

When there are more people, there will naturally be more troubles.

The conflicts among Wagangzhai, Ruyang Palace, Daqin Jianghu, Song Beggars' Gang and Ming Crown Prince in Tianhe Tower quickly evolved from verbal disputes into a full-scale fight.

It seemed that a fight was about to break out.

At this moment, an extremely violent roar, like thunder, appeared outside the Tianhe Tower. Then, a team of armored cavalry with astonishing momentum, numbering more than a thousand people, quickly surrounded the entire Tianhe Tower.

There was an inexplicable aura connecting those armored cavalrymen, which vaguely formed a kind of aura oppression as a whole, and there were also deterrents such as black iron armor and the Broken Gang Divine Crossbow.

The atmosphere in the entire Tianhe Building suddenly became quiet.

At the same time, Li Shimin, dressed in mighty armor, accompanied by an extremely beautiful woman, strode into the Tianhe Tower.

The two women were none other than Qin Mengyao, the contemporary traveler in Daming Cihang Jingzhai.

"Everyone, this Tianhe Tower is the property of the Great Sui Dynasty imperial family. You are all heroes from all sides, but if there is a conflict, you may go outside the city to fight. In the capital of the Great Sui Dynasty, you still need to strictly abide by the laws of the Great Sui Dynasty. Otherwise, don't blame the Great Sui Dynasty court for not warning you."

After Li Shimin entered the Tianhe Tower, he swept his bright red cloak and his heavenly aura bloomed.

Under the support of the aura of thousands of armored cavalrymen outside the Tianhe Tower, there was a vague terrifying momentum that overwhelmed the entire venue, making the entire Tianhe Tower silent.

It’s not that the people in Tianhe Tower were really afraid of Li Shimin and the armored cavalry.

Instead, Li Shimin used his power to overwhelm people as soon as he opened his mouth, and he used the majesty of the entire Sui Dynasty court. If a real fight came, there might be lucky people present who could escape, but nine out of ten people would probably be completely strangled by the power of the Sui Dynasty court.

And just after Li Shimin finished speaking.

Qin Mengyao, who was wearing a veil, also spoke quickly: "In response to Master Daoxin's words, our Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Sect will take the Heshi Bi that has been enshrined for a hundred years and present it here tomorrow."

"You all came here for the Heshi Bi. Please restrain your tempers and follow the local customs. Do not offend the majesty of the court. Otherwise, a war will break out and innocent people will be hurt. This sin is unforgivable."

"The He's Jade is a rare treasure from outer space. It has its own spirit and can choose its own master. Once someone is recognized by the He's Jade, they will also receive the full support of our Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Sect..."

Li Shimin and Qin Mengyao, one has the red face and the other has the white face, are quite capable.

In just a moment, the tense scene in Tianhe Tower was eliminated. Although there was hostility between the parties, they suppressed it and did not actually take action.

And looking at the next scene in that class.

In the private room on the second floor, Li Xiuning squeezed into Yang Zhao's arms and said, "My husband, it seems that just as Xuan Ling expected, the Li Clan after the three Lis merged into one has probably already merged with Yang Guang."

The combination of the three Lis shows their ambitions are obvious.

But even in this situation, after escaping from Guanzhong, Li Shimin was still able to lead the black-armored cavalry and run rampant in Luoyang City, and he even vaguely held some kind of court position.

It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no secret between Yang Guang and Li Yuan.

The most likely possibility is that Yang Guang has already joined forces with the Li family and reached some kind of agreement, preparing to first wipe out areas such as Guanlong, Jiangnan, and the north, and then deal with internal disputes.

Yang Zhao patted Li Xiuning's slender waist and said, "It's fine for Yang and Li to join forces. It's almost May now. Yang Guang and the million-strong army of the noble families are at a disadvantage in the Liaodong war. They will return to the Central Plains after August. It's not suitable to mobilize troops in winter. The war will start in the early spring of next year."

"We have more than half a year to spare. After we get the Heshi Jade, my husband will have his own ways to increase our Guanzhong strength by more than ten times. By then, they will be the ones who should be afraid."

Yang Zhao's words quickly calmed Li Xiuning, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing and others.

And just when Yang Zhao and others were talking.

Among the group of Beggars' Gang in the hall, Huang Rong seemed to sense something. She turned her head suddenly and saw Yang Zhao behind the curtains on the second floor.
