For a moment, Yang Su's expression froze, and Lu Miaozi and Yuwen Kai both looked at Empress Xiao.

Yang Su frowned and said, "I wonder what you mean, Empress Xiao?"

Empress Xiao healed her wounds, adjusted her breath, and prepared herself for the day. She said, "Do you remember, Lord Su, that in the last years of the Kaihuang era, there was a monk named Mahaye who entered the palace of Prince Jin and became the Minister of Rites under Yang Guang?"

Yang Su raised his eyebrows and said, "This monk Mahaye served under Yang Guang for four years, and then joined the Li family and became the master of the second son of the Li family. As early as the third year of Daye, he died in the hands of Your Highness in the Great Song Dynasty."

Empress Xiao smiled calmly and said, "That's all true, but Lord Su probably doesn't know that when the foreign monk joined Yang Guang's army, he presented an ancient artifact called the Heavenly Sword."

Hearing Queen Xiao's words, the three people present felt a chill run down their spines.

Lu Miaozi stood up instantly and said, "What Queen Xiao is talking about is the ancient magic weapon, the Heavenly Sword, which was left behind in the territory of the Sui Dynasty two hundred years ago by the heroic madman Zhao Kuangyin?"

Empress Xiao nodded, then shook her head and said, "Let me correct what Senior Lu said. In the past, Zhao Kuangyin did not leave the Heavenly Sword behind. Instead, he killed more than ten immortals in the heavens in the territory of the Sui Dynasty. The blood of the immortals tainted the spirituality of the Heavenly Sword, so he sealed it."

"But no one would have thought that two hundred years later, the Heavenly Sword that countless people had been looking for would fall into the hands of the foreign monk Mahaye, and he delivered it to Yang Guang."

Everyone present had heard of the reputation of the Heavenly Sword.

In the past, Zhao Kuangyin was invincible in the world and dominated the nine provinces. The first half was a show of Tianjian, while in the second half, Zhao Kuangyin reached his highest level and realized the true meaning of martial arts. He relied on Taizu Changquan and Panlong Stick to suppress the world.

The reputation of Tianjian is not as great as that of Zhao Kuangyin.

But those who truly understand that period of history know how terrifying the Heavenly Sword is.

According to rumors, the Heavenly Sword was refined by the Emperor of Heaven in ancient times and cast into the human world. If an emperor on earth knew about it, he would be called the Son of Heaven and would surely become a super wise monarch who would go down in history.

The Heavenly Sword comes with the powerful ancient martial art of the Emperor's Sword Technique, which can mobilize the power of Heaven. Even a seven-year-old child wielding it can kill a celestial being.

If the holder had a slightly stronger cultivation, he would be able to dominate the world.

Although the Heavenly Sword cannot compare to the world-suppressing artifacts of humanity like the Fuxi Bagua Mirror, the Xuanyuan Sword, and the Jiuzhou Cauldron, it is definitely the most top-notch existence among these world-suppressing artifacts.

What’s even more frightening is that the person holding the Heavenly Sword is very likely to receive strong support from the gods in heaven.

Looking at Yang Su, the other two had grim expressions on their faces.

Empress Xiao laughed and said, "The three seniors don't have to worry too much. In the past, Zhao Kuangyin held the Heavenly Sword and killed the immortals in the sky. This act went against the will of heaven and was cursed by the Emperor of Heaven. The sword was stained with blood and polluted its spirituality. It no longer has the divine power it once had."

Yang Su and the other two looked a little better.

But at this moment, Empress Xiao changed the subject and said, "Although the spirituality of the Heavenly Sword has been polluted, it has also had another kind of destiny. It has transformed from a god to a demon. In Yang Guang's hands, it has become an unparalleled demon weapon. After it absorbs the resentment of millions of souls, it will completely restore its former might and even become more difficult to resist than its former divine might."

Damn, this woman is really not a good person.

Yang Su, Lu Miaozi and Yuwen Kai felt that their mood was like a roller coaster, going up and down. If it weren't for their cultivation to protect themselves, given their ages, they would have had a heart attack long ago.

It turns out that none of the people in the Demon Sect are good people. They use evil tricks, play tricks on people, and are not worthy of being human.

The complaints in my heart are complaints.

After hearing Queen Xiao's words, many of the doubts in the three people's hearts were completely resolved.

Yang Su was also a proud, shrewd and talented person. He followed Yang Jian to conquer the world, and he became a general and a prime minister. He was very experienced in judging people.

There are also Yang Jian, Dugu Qieluo, and even other people who founded the Sui Dynasty.

It is impossible that everyone misjudged Yang Guang back then.

Until now, the news from Empress Xiao solved the doubts and mysteries in Yang Su's heart.

If Yang Guang obtained the peerless magic weapon that could corrupt people's minds at the end of the Kaihuang period, it would explain why his mind changed drastically after he ascended the throne.

Even the renovation of Chang'an, the construction of the Eastern Capital, the digging of the canal, and the conquests to the east and the west were explained.

Yang Guang was not absolutely violent, ambitious, stubborn and conceited, but he did it on purpose. His purpose was probably to collect the resentment of millions of souls and completely repair the Demonic Sword.

Thinking of this, Yang Su's expression changed again in an instant.

After a pause, Yang Su said in a panic, "Empress Xiao, did you mean that Yang Guang sent Yu Juluo to lead 300,000 troops as the vanguard on purpose, and sent him to die?"

Empress Xiao blinked her eyelashes and said, "With Lord Su's wisdom, can't he figure it out?"

Yang Su's face instantly turned extremely ugly, and he said, "Yes, Yang Guang's expedition to Guangdong was hindered by the changes in the internal situation of the Great Sui Dynasty. He must be unwilling to accept it. In Liaodong, he was suppressed by the Li Clan and the Guandong Aristocratic Family. This time when he returns to the court, Yang Guang will definitely not let the Right Guard leave. This 300,000-strong army was originally put together by the Guandong Aristocratic Family and the Li Clan. For Yang Guang, the more casualties, the better."

A strategy that kills two birds with one stone.

Send Yu Juluo to die and eliminate the hidden danger of undercover around him.

Send 300,000 vanguard troops to die in order to weaken the power of the Li family and the Guandong family.

At the same time, the chaos that breaks out can also eliminate the strength of Yang Su and Yang Xuangan, father and son, as well as the power under Yang Zhao.

In addition, the bigger the war and the more tragic the situation, the faster the Demonic Soldier Heavenly Sword will be repaired.

What a vicious thought.

With Yang Su's wisdom, after getting some key clues, he analyzed all of Yang Guang's thoughts almost exactly in a moment.

Then, Yang Su suddenly slammed the table and said, "Oh no, my son is in danger."

Chapter 561 Yang Xuangan Causing Trouble in Jizhou

The purpose of Yang Su letting Yang Xuangan rebel and besiege Luoyang was to seal the Luoyang formation, seal the Luoyang spirit and preserve it for the continuation of the evolution of this blessed land after Yang Zhao took control of the Central Plains.

In order to ensure the success of his plan, Yang Su sent his son out.

Rongyang, Fanyang, and Qinghe counties are all located in Jizhou, north of Luoyang.

At the same time, Jizhou was also the only way for Yang Guang to return to the capital.

Before this, Yang Su still felt that everything was under his control. He asked his son Yang Xuangan to go to Hebei to show his presence and release some of his depression, and then perform a big show with his old friend Yu Juro. After that, it would come to a successful conclusion and he could return to Chang'an with all the gains.

But from Empress Xiao, Yang Su heard about the existence of the Demonic Heavenly Sword and guessed Yang Guang's vicious plan.

Yang Su couldn't help but start to worry about his son's life.

Since Yang Guang dared to send Yu Juro out, he must have some confidence that he could confuse Yu Juro's mind and let him lead the army to kill people at will, or even fight to the death on the battlefield.

At this time, could it be that his foolish son has already encountered Yujuro's army?

No, no.

Yang Guang only began to return to the capital when his troops were approaching Luoyang City. It was only less than half a month, and with the speed of a million-strong army, they could not go far.

Even if Yu Juluo was the vanguard and led an army of 300,000, it would be impossible for him to march too fast.

Yang Su kept comforting himself in his heart.

But even so, Yang Su was still somewhat restless, as if his heart was filled with weeds and was in a mess.

Even though Yang Su was moved by Yang Xuan, he would beat and scold him and show all kinds of dislike for him.

But just as Yang Xuangan thought in the past, as a branch of the Hongnong Yang family and the inheritor of the military tradition, Yang Xuangan has enormous potential. If he practices according to the instructions, his future achievements are destined to be great.

Yang Su devoted a lot of effort and affection to his son.

Seeing his old friend uneasy.

Lu Miaozi also stood up and comforted him, "Old Su, the matter of Luoyang here has been resolved. With Empress Xiao's help in calming the Luoyang spirit in the formation plate, I think everything will be fine."

"The scattered soldiers and civilians here will be taken back to Chang'an by me and my friend Yuwen..."

Lu Miaozi's meaning was very clear. He divided the troops into two groups and asked Yang Su to rush to Hebei as soon as possible to meet up with his son Yang Xuangan. Then Lu Miaozi and others, taking the simulated city and hundreds of thousands of civilians, returned to Chang'an.

"no!"

As Lu Miaozi finished speaking, Yang Su calmed down and said, "Just as Empress Xiao said, the Luoyang spirit has been sealed. Yang Guang must have sensed it and will never give up and let us go back to Chang'an so easily."

"I am in the army and can still protect and resist. Even if something unexpected happens, I can save your lives and return to Chang'an quickly. As for my son... it's up to fate."

At the end of his speech, Yang Su's momentum was lost and he became listless.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the tent was silent.

But at this moment, Empress Xiao suddenly laughed and said, "No way, no way, there was news from Guanzhong earlier that His Royal Highness Prince Zhao has established a government and has subdued dozens of people from the Demon Sect. His momentum is strong. You are also capable ministers under Prince Zhao. You are not going to fight alone, are you?"

Queen Xiao looked at Yang Su, Lu Miaozi and Yuwen Kai strangely.

The three of them suddenly felt embarrassed and froze in place.

Damn, you are being too picky. There must be someone behind you.

Now, King Zhao has the power of one hundred thousand Great Snow Dragon Riders, one hundred thousand Zuo Yi Guards, as well as generals like rain and martial saints like clouds. He only needs to send a few martial saints to solve the current predicament of the three people.

All of a sudden, the three people who had been somewhat dejected became spirited again.

Not to mention the situation in the camp outside Luoyang City.

At this time in Hebei, under the city of Rongyang.

After Yang Xuangan left the camp under Luoyang City, he was like a wild Husky that had broken free from its reins, and he completely let himself go.

Yang Xuangan's father Yang Su gave him a list.

The most important characters are Zheng Guanyin of Rongyang Zheng family, Lu Mingyue of Fanyang Lu family, Cui Yingying of Qinghe Cui family, etc.

These are the most famous daughters and stunning beauties among the Kanto families in today's era.

Among them, Zheng Guanyin is the daughter of Zheng Jibo, the head of the Rongyang Zheng family. She has already been engaged to Li Jiancheng, the eldest son of the Li family. If the Li family had not been trapped in Chang'an, the two sides would have been married long ago.

Lu Mingyue was the imperial concubine appointed by Yang Guang before his expedition to Guangdong. She had not yet entered the palace, but she was also very famous.

Cui Yingying, the daughter of the head of the Qinghe Cui family, was judged to have a noble appearance by a fortune teller since she was young. She was betrothed by the old lady of the Cui family to the pillar of the Fanyang Zheng family, the son of Minister Zheng.

Yang Xuangan could see that his own father had truly become a complete sycophant.

At the same time, it can also be seen that his own father probably hates these Kanto families very much, and wants him to make a big fuss, or even suppress and weaken these Kanto families.

So as soon as he entered Hebei, Yang Xuangan divided his 100,000-strong thunder army into ten groups.

Instead of causing harm to the civilian population, they targeted the forts and manors of the Kanto families and started looting them directly. In just one day, they had swept across an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

In a short time, Yang Xuangan's name spread rapidly in Hebei.

The other nine divisions achieved brilliant results.

Yang Xuangan claimed to be the main force, so he led an army of more than 10,000 people and marched directly to the fortified city of Rongyang in Hebei.

"Zheng Jibo, I will give you one stick of incense to think about it. You must pay me 100,000 gold and silver, food and fodder, and your daughter, Zheng Guanyin. Otherwise, when the city is broken, I will go to your Zheng Family Ancestral Hall to pee and shit."

Very rough and very wild.

Although Yang Xuangan was also the son that Yang Su tried his best to cultivate, his cultivation of ancient martial arts and the inheritance of military strategists meant that his cultivation was not fast, and now he has only just entered the realm of heaven and man.

Therefore, Yang Su did not tell Yang Xuangan about the background of the various aristocratic families in the Sui Dynasty.

Otherwise, even if Yang Xuangan had a bad temper, he would not dare to humiliate a top family that had been passed down for hundreds of years.

"Asshole, damn asshole, how dare you insult my Zheng family!"

"Uncle Ji, open the city gates and let me kill this evildoer."

"Uncle, please don't be angry. The situation in the Great Sui Dynasty is complicated now. It is better not to break this underlying rule in the hands of my Zheng family."

"So let this evil creature yell and curse like that? My Zheng family has been passed down for hundreds of years, so there is no need to save face."

"Well, uncle, don't worry. News has come from Liaodong that Yu Juluo has led the 300,000 vanguard troops gathered by my Guandong family and has entered Hebei. They will arrive in Rongyang soon and will definitely kill the evildoer under the city..."

Chapter 562: The Rolled-up Guanlong Land

The Sui Dynasty is indeed in chaos now.

In the Guanlong area, Yang Zhao established a government. During the sacrifice to heaven and earth, he caused strange phenomena in heaven and earth and gained the recognition of heaven and earth. His power was already established, and no one could suppress the other in terms of righteousness, not even Yang Guang, who could only be on par with Yang Zhao at most.

In the land of Sichuan and Shu, with the support of the Song clan, the leader of Duzunbao, Jie Hui, has begun to transform from a local gangster to a tyrant among the feudal lords. He has expanded his army at will, and has been conquering the east and west of Sichuan and Shu, with a tendency to dominate the area.

In the area of ​​Jingxiang, Xiao Xian, the sixth-generation grandson of Emperor Wu of Liang, commanded an army of 400,000 men. His territory extended from the Three Gorges in the west to the Han River in the north and to Jiaozhi in the south. With the mountains and rivers as his protection, he seemed ready to establish himself as a king.

In the Huai River and Huai River regions, Du Wei and Fu Gongshi joined forces to launch an uprising, and their momentum was unstoppable.

In Bingzhou, Liu Wuzhou was extremely brave and had chivalrous soldiers as his troops. He was good at fighting and had strategies. If Li Guigui of Liangzhou had not been forced to flee to Bingzhou by the Snow Dragon Cavalry under Yang Zhao and confronted Liu Wuzhou, it is possible that Liu Wuzhou might have captured Taiyuan City, the old nest of the Li family.

In the Henan region, Zhai Rang gathered a group of green forest heroes and fierce bandits, and took advantage of the natural barrier of Wagangzhai to stare at the Central Plains.

Hebei was also in chaos. Dou Jiande started an uprising and joined forces with various rebel forces. There was a small fight every three days and a big fight every five days. Although it has not yet become a major force, it has already had a broad foundation, like weeds, which cannot be cut off completely, not to mention that Yang Xuangan has now intervened.

In such a chaotic situation, no one dares to take the lead.

It would be fine if it was just Yang Zhao and Yang Guang confronting each other, but anyone else who dared to claim to be king would be attacked by both Yang Zhao and Yang Guang.

At the same time, in this chaotic stalemate, the unspoken rules set by the aristocratic families become extremely important.

With this unspoken rule in place, any chaos will only be mundane chaos and will not shake the foundations of any party.
