Yuzhou, Changhuan Ancient City, Zhoujiadian.
In the past, there were many customers, and there were many people coming and going. Drinking wine, drinking tea, tea, and storytellers chatting, it was very lively. Nowadays, it is extremely deserted. Even if the new Ranking and Supreme Rankings are announced to the world, there are still many vacancies.
The old shopkeeper put his hands between his cotton-padded clothes and breathed out white breath. He stood at the corner of the stairs, looked at the sky in the distance and shook his head. He sighed: "Oh! It's really hard to do business these days. It's hard to do business anymore!" If this continues, I’m afraid it will close!”
The new waiter from the countryside was holding a tea cup, blinking and looking at the shopkeeper blankly, wondering: "What's going on? There are no corvees, and there is no invasion from the Northern Golden Horde, so business is getting worse." Woolen cloth?"
The old shopkeeper sighed thoughtfully, feeling depressed. As soon as he was touched, he started chatting: "You are a child from the countryside. You came from the country and have only been a clerk for a few days. You don't know much about the affairs of the world. Naturally. I don’t know. The world today is very chaotic!"
"The Sui Emperor has passed away, and there is no corvee in the world. The barbarians in the north have also been driven away, and the Caotou King of the 18th Route was also killed by the Qingzhou King in the Battle of Siming Mountain! I heard "It was a sea of blood, corpses were everywhere, and hundreds of thousands of people lost their heads. It was so tragic! Now, has something big happened again?" The man's eyes were full of curiosity.
"Three years ago, the Hunjun fell in Yangzhou Prefecture, and the rebel armies from all over the world massacred them all in front of Siming Mountain for Lord Chen Xiu! At that time, there were only six major forces in the Central Plains: Li Yuan, the [King of the Tang Dynasty] who occupied Chang'an, was stationed in Wagang, Yuzhou [Wei Gong] Li Mi, [Luoyang King] Wang Shichong who commanded the old generals of the Sui Dynasty, [Xia King] Dou Jiande who was in charge of Liaodong, Yu Wenji who claimed to be King Xu, and [King of Luoyang] who commanded 100,000 elite soldiers of the imperial court, and who dominated the world. Qingzhou King] Chen Xiu." The old shopkeeper looked out the window and fell into memories, as if he had also experienced the battle that shook the world.
He spoke slowly and spoke in a low voice: "Wagang's army fought against Yu Wenhuaji outside Luoyang. They killed 30,000 Sui Xiaoguo troops and beheaded Yu Wenhuaji. Yuwen disappeared without a trace in Chengdu. Li Mi's momentum reached its peak. At this point, At that time, he commanded a million-strong army and sent troops to Luoyang City. He fought with Wang Shichong for almost a hundred days! In the end, he was completely defeated in the Battle of Mangshan, and the million-strong army was reduced to nothing. Thousands of troops and horses collapsed at Hulao Pass. In the past, The generals of Wagang either surrendered to Li Yuan or returned to Wang Shichong. Today's Wagang Village has also been completely razed to the ground. Wei Gong has become history since then!"
There was endless sadness in the words of the old shopkeeper.
"Then what?" The boy's eyes lit up and he asked repeatedly.
The old shopkeeper was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Then, the world was completely in turmoil!! Wang Shichong raised an army of 500,000 and joined forces with Dou Jiande to fight Li Shimin in the river valley. The war continued for days, and the killings continued. Many aristocratic families and Jianghu sects Either because of interests or because of hatred, there are consequences. At this moment, rumors spread in the world: Chen Xiu, the nearly invincible King of Qingzhou under the Dharmakaya, is determined to go into seclusion and condense the immeasurable Dharmakaya!! The King of Qingzhou's 100,000 cavalry, commanded by [Breaking Sky Sword] Ji Wuqing, were ordered by Chen Xiu to form an alliance with Li Shimin and fight decisively in the valley battlefield! This battle lasted for nearly two years and affected tens of millions of forces in China. , many warriors from all over the world gather together!"
"Then what's the result?" the guy asked impatiently, his words full of excitement.
"[King Tang] Li Yuan was very lucky. He gave birth to a son named Li Shimin." The old shopkeeper spoke softly, with endless emotion in his words: "This Li Shimin can be called the military god in the world. He is almost as good as the "Soldier Immortal" in the past. ” style. He has an army of millions under his control, even more than the generals! The cavalry commanded their troops, whipped their horses, and fought in the river valley, wiping out all the elite cavalrymen of Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande in the river valley! That battle shocked the world! Li Shimin's reputation reached its peak, and [King of the Tang Dynasty] Li Yuan was also granted the title of Uncensored. He was granted the title of General Tiance, and was given the title of Nine Tins by the order of the King of Qin! ! His popularity now reigns supreme in the world, no less than that of the [Reincarnated Overlord] Chen Xiu! "
"Hiss--" At this moment, the guy couldn't help but let out a breath of cold air, feeling shocked and envious at the same time.
One man commanded millions of men and wiped out the cavalry of Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande.
The elites are even more incomparable, and they are promoted to Generals of Heavenly Strategy! !
What kind of courage is this? The great Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the ancient Han Dynasty was nothing more than that, right?
"In this battle, many wealthy families have fallen, and countless warriors have fallen. How can our business be good?" The old shopkeeper said with a bit of sadness: "I hope that next spring, Everything can be stable.”
"Shopkeeper, that's what you always said. In today's Central Plains, [Tang King] Li Yuan's family is the only one in power?" The waiter realized something and exclaimed: "Doesn't that mean that a new emperor is about to ascend the throne? ?」
The old shopkeeper breathed out softly and said meaningfully: "This is not necessarily true!! Don't forget that Chen Xiu exists in this world! This is the direct disciple of Chunyang Tianzun who is currently number one on the list of gods and demons, and he is still in the Jiangnan Mansion An existence recognized by the three major aristocratic families, and familiar with many sects in the world! More importantly, this one is almost invincible without the Dharma Body!! Whether Li Tang can secure his position in the world depends on this one Face! If he tries to compete in the world, I’m afraid there will be a big war!!”
The guy was in a trance.
His eyes passed over the billowing black smoke in the distance and the poor people who were still buying and selling women on the streets, and stared slightly: Do you want to continue to fight?
"Housekeeper, warm up a pot of hot wine."
Clear words rang out, and the waiter woke up as if from a dream, shouting: "Come on! Objectively, you two please come in!"
He turned his head slightly and saw a young man wearing golden armor. He had a handsome face and a domineering and strong temperament. At first glance, he was a young man from a well-cultivated family.
The other one is tall and burly, wearing a long black gown. His breath is restrained and calm. He seems to be a mortal?
There is actually an intersection between these two kinds of people.
The waiter muttered and served the two of them a pot of warm hot wine.
"Where have you been in the past three years? Are you really in seclusion as Ji Wuqing said?" Wang Boyan couldn't wait to ask what was in his heart.
Chen Xiu took a sip of wine and said with a slight smile: "Have you forgotten? I went to the heaven! I stayed there for several days. But I didn't expect that in one day in the sky, there would be a world under the earth. One year."
Wang Boyan's eyes lit up: "You, you've been staying in Heaven? How's the harvest?"
