Chapter twenty eight

Chapter 28: Famous words to relieve worries

In front of Yang Yuanqing's mansion, a servant from Yang Yuanqing bowed to Yang Yuanqing, "Young Master, I'll convey the meaning of Yang's mansion. You can go back to Yang's mansion."

"Who is this?" Yang Yuanqing asked coldly.

"I don't know who it means. It was Mr. Zhao who asked me to tell the young master that he could go home."

"Is that so? Are you from Yang Mansion? Why have I never seen you?"

The servant smiled bitterly and said, "The villain is responsible for repairing road stones in Yang's Mansion. It was Mr. Zhao who asked me to come. In fact, I also think it is a bit inappropriate to let me report the message."

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "Thank you for reporting the message. When you go back and tell the people above, you just say that it was me. The Yang family can adhere to the clan rules and remove me from the clan. At least it can make me respect the Yang family. Please don't tear off the last fig leaf."

"Yes! The villain remembers it, and then go back and report."

The servant gave a favor and turned around and left. Yang Yuanqing stared at his back for a long time. Niu Niu walked behind Yang Yuanqing and said angrily: "I actually sent a servant to build a road to ask you to go back. The Yang family is too humiliating."

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "They are not trying to humiliate me, but they don't want me to go back at all. Just make a gesture. In the future, my grandfather asked me if the Yang family asked me to go back. I can't say no. Forget it, I won't talk about them."

He turned around and smiled at Niu Niu, "Please accompany me to the back garden!"

Niu Niu nodded silently and followed Yang Yuanqing to the backyard.

















Under the moonlight, Yang Yuanqing and Niu Niu took a slow walk in the back garden. This new house has a small garden covering an area of ​​about two acres. Dozens of plum trees and plum trees were planted. There is a small river outside the backyard. The housekeeper brought the water from the river in, forming a small river in the winding land within the house, and planted weeping willows along both sides of the small house river.

In the middle of the garden is a three-meter-high mound, covered with green grass and osmanthus. An octagonal pavilion was built on the top of the hill. The two of them walked side by side to the octagonal pavilion.

They grew up together since childhood, with deep feelings and a tacit understanding between them. They just held hands silently without saying anything, and occasionally looked at each other and smiled at each other.

"Brother Yuanqing, are you still worried about family affairs?" Niu Niu was as careful as she heard that there was still a trace of worry in Yuanqing's heart.

Yang Yuanqing nodded gently. Although the Nanhua Society was like an anesthetic that made him temporarily forget the pain of the family, after the Nanhua Society was over, the medicine disappeared, and the family's troubles returned to his heart. The family actually wanted him to go back again, and sent a servant to call him.

He has dignity, so of course he will not go back, but behind this incident, he felt something vaguely that the family would not send someone to find him for no reason.

"Brother Yuanqing, have you been disgusted with that family all the time? You left after leaving, why bother to worry about it?"

"I don't care about that family."

Yang Yuanqing shook his head and sighed softly, "I'm worried about my grandfather. He is old and in poor health. He is worried that he has become ill by this incident."

The two walked into the octagonal pavilion, and the windows of the pavilion were all open. It was early winter, and the wind was a little chilling. The silver moonlight shone on the rockery of trees, as if it was covered with a layer of fine white snowflakes on the garden. Yang Yuanqing stood in front of the pavilion, silently staring at the withered early winter scene in the garden. He had a intuition in his heart that his grandfather had returned.

Niu Niu felt the depression in his heart, so she gently held Yuan Qing's hand and comforted him softly: "He is still your grandfather, isn't he right? He is an old man and has a deep affection for you. Although you can't serve the family, your feelings for your grandfather are still there. You still recognize him as your grandfather. I think that although he will be disappointed because you left the Yang family, he will also feel relieved that you still recognize him as your grandfather. Brother Yuan Qing, the so-called mistakes must be gained. Without the shackles of the family's concubine, I think you will fly higher. You should stop thinking about family affairs anymore, but consider how you can fly higher and farther."

Yang Yuanqing reached out and gently hugged Niu Niu's shoulders, hugged her in his arms, and smiled and said to her: "Niu Niu, do you know why I want to make friends with Shan Xiongxin, Qin Qiong and others?"

Niu Niu shook her head, "I don't know, I think you can talk to them very much."

"There are so many people who can talk to Pei Xingyan, why don't I talk to Yuwen Chengdu, but I just want to make friends with these heroes at the bottom?"

Niu Niu snuggled in Yuan Qing's arms and felt a burst of warmth. She raised her head and looked at her beloved with bright eyes, her eyes showing a strong attachment.

Yang Yuanqing was still immersed in his lofty ambitions. "At that time, my grandfather told me that the military power of the Great Sui Dynasty was actually composed of two forces, one was the Guanlong force, the other was the Shandong force. Yuwen Tai got the Guanlong force and established the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Gao Huan got the Shandong force and established the Northern Qi Dynasty. The Guanlong force was the Guanlong nobles today. Their children controlled the army of the Great Sui Dynasty. They held half of the wealth of the Great Sui Dynasty, and the Shandong forces had been scattered and distributed among the people, becoming local tyrants, Shan Xiongxin, Qin Qiong, and Cheng Yaojin. These people are representatives of the Shandong forces. I made friends with them, and I was actually making friends with the Shandong forces."

"Why did Brother Yuanqing make friends with these forces? This would be suspected by the emperor." A trace of worry and confusion flashed in Niu Niu's beautiful eyes.

Yang Yuanqing felt Niu Niu’s concern for him. He lowered his head and smiled at her and said, “You don’t have to worry. I won’t let the emperor be suspicious. He never thought of some things. If one day there will be chaos in the world, I must make a choice, but it will be a bit too late to choose until then. Niu Niu, no one has a long-term plan, and he will have immediate worries.”

"But why didn't Brother Yuanqing choose the Guanlong force? Didn't you say that they are stronger?"

Yang Yuanqing smiled and shook his head, "I am just a concubine of the Yang family. In the eyes of these Guanlong bosses, I am just an ant soldier. They have a lot of talents, how can they like me?"

There are actually deeper reasons why Yang Yuanqing did not choose the Guanlong power. Since the Yang Jian era, Yang Jian began to suppress the Guanlong nobles, and his grandfather Yang Su was Yang Jian's vanguard. The Guanlong nobles hated the Yang family to the core. One of the big reasons why Yang Su supported King Yang Guang of Jin was because he was worried that after Yang Yong ascended the throne, the Guanlong nobles behind Yang Yong would deal with the Yang family.

In addition, Yang Yuanqing is now trying to hold Yang Guang's thigh and must go against the Guanlong nobles. In the assassination of King Jin, He Ruobi was killed, and the Yuan family and Dugu family were liquidated. He is already incompatible with the Guanlong nobles. How could he still expect the Guanlong nobles to support him?

Niu Niu's eyes were flashing brightly, and she understood what Yang Yuanqing meant, "Brother Yuanqing, that's why you want to remove the Yang family's identity, just to make friends with Shandong forces better?"

Yang Yuanqing nodded to her with approval, "Niu Niu, you are indeed smart and can learn from one example."

Niu Niu was praised by her lover, and she lowered her head embarrassedly, pinched the corner of her clothes, and whispered: "I am smarter than you! When I was a child, weren't I doing all your homework for you?"

"So! You will continue to help me in the future." Yang Yuanqing smiled and gently kissed Niu Niu's hair.

At this time, he remembered Shan Xiongxin again. Qin Qiong and the others refused to move to their mansion. He couldn't help but sigh slightly, "The reason why Shan Xiongxin and the others refused to live in our mansion is because I still have the mark of the Yang family, which made them worry. Although they are grateful to me, they may not be willing to surrender. If they want to truly conquer them, there is still a long way to go!"





















The next day, before dawn, groups of warriors carrying weapons went out of the city from all directions. This time, more than 3,000 people came from all over the world, but in the end, only more than 1,600 people were confirmed and obtained examinations, and could take the martial arts examinations. The rest could only serve as spectators.

More than 1,600 people were admitted in the end, and the admission ratio was 8 to 1. Although it was very difficult to pass the exam, it still brought hope to everyone.

The Sui Dynasty warriors did not have much future. They either went to serve as a guard for the powerful and powerful people, or were invited by some large chambers of commerce to escort goods. But the most of them were to join the army and to fight for a future in the army. It is best to join the army to be an imperial guard, which is the fastest way to be promoted.

This time, 500 banned guards were recruited to the world in the name of the left and right guards and the left and right guards, and named them the Martial Arts. Among them, the outstanding ones will be directly awarded military positions, which undoubtedly aroused the enthusiasm of countless martial artists and rushed from all over the country to the capital.

Today is the second day of the martial arts exam, and the weapons test is taken. This exam is not like yesterday's riding and shooting test, which takes three days. Within these three days, the candidates will live in the military camp and are not allowed to go out. The candidates will pack up their important items and go out to the city.

The examination was the same as yesterday. It was a military camp of the Right Guard outside the South City, covering a vast area and stationed 3,000 soldiers. This was just the examination site of the B list, and the A list was conducted in the Left Guard camp in the Imperial City.

There were more than 1,600 warriors coming from all over the country, but there were still six or seven hundred candidates from the capital. A large part of them were children of the scholars, and the quota of the A list was limited, so they flocked to the B list exam room.

The exam officially started in the afternoon, and accommodation was arranged in the morning. The military camp was in chaos. The warriors led their horses to look for acquaintances everywhere. Although the accommodation arranged by the Ministry of War was four people and a room, no one was willing to live with unfamiliar people. They each changed their rooms, quarreled and roared one after another.

Qin Qiong held the horse and took Cheng Yaojin to find Shan Xiongxin and the others. Qin Qiong seemed a little worried. Yesterday, Yu Wenzhi's threat to him was like a stone. Although he came to participate in the martial arts ceremony at the beginning, when he really started the exam, his mentality changed, and he also longed to be able to pass the martial arts ceremony and make a name for himself.

"Brother Qin, there!"

Cheng Yaojin had sharp eyes and saw Shan Xiongxin and the others at first sight. Qin Qiong was overjoyed and hurriedly led the horse to meet him, shouting, "Xiongxin!"

Shan Xiongxin was also looking for them. He smiled and patted Qin Qiong on the shoulder, then nodded to Cheng Yaojin. On the surface, they were still able to get along.

"I just got the news and took three weapons, one was a knife, one was a spear, and the other was a self-selected weapon. Only one set of moves is allowed to be practiced."

Qin Qiong frowned. Didn’t he say that only sword techniques and self-selected weapons? How could he add another spear?

"Is your news reliable?"

Shan Xiongxin whispered to the group of people next to him, "Listen to them, these people are all children of aristocratic families."

He suddenly lowered his voice and said to Qin Qiong: "I also heard that 80% of the quotas have been settled."
