Chapter 3 Cutoff of the Yangtze River

On the day when the group of monsters appeared, Han Qinhu led a large army to the capital. That night, under Yang Jian's leadership, the army entered the palace, and the prime minister completely controlled the court.

A year later, Yang Jian abolished Emperor Yuwen Chan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He established the country as Sui and changed the reign to Kaihuang. He conferred his eldest son Yang Yong as the crown prince, and his second son Yang Guang as the powerful general and Jiangnan general. Under the recommendation of the Grand Marshal Yang Su, he commanded He Ruobi and Han Qinhu and other famous generals led more than 500,000 troops to conquer the Southern Dynasty.

Before, the two dynasties in the north and south attacked each other, although most of them were the Northern Dynasties who took advantage of the Yangtze River. However, the Southern Dynasties had been defending the Yangtze River for more than a hundred years. Many things happened to the Northern Dynasties, and the Southern Dynasties also found a way to defeat the enemy. They originally thought that this time, as before, as long as they defended the Yangtze River natural danger, they could be safe again.

Unexpectedly, when Yang Guang's army arrived by the Yangtze River, the originally turbulent upstream river water suddenly cut off, revealing the riverbed below. It is unheard of that the river water cut off. None of the officials and soldiers from both sides of the river expected that such a thing would happen. Just when the two armies were speechless, Yang Guang ordered the army to advance.

Attack, the Southern Dynasty army, who had been scared by the river, was defeated by the sudden flow of the river.

After the army crossed the river, it seemed to have entered a no-man's land. Occasionally, the Southern Army was blocked and was defeated at once. However, in more than a month, Han Qinhu, the general of the Sui Dynasty, rushed into Jiankang City, the capital of the Southern Dynasty, and captured the Southern Dynasty Emperor Chen Shubao alive. A few days later, Yang Guang's army entered the Health City and forced Chen Shubao to surrender to the defenders in various parts of the Southern Dynasty. At this point, the two dynasties in the north and south were divided.

The situation was broken, and the country in troubled times was finally unified.

When Yang Guang led his army back to the court, Kaihuang Yang Jian was extremely happy and granted the title of King Yang Guang the title of King Jin. He also promoted important positions such as Shangzhu Kingdom and Shangshu Ling. For a moment, Yang Guang's limelight had already surpassed his brother, Prince Yang Yong. Kaihuang Yang Jian had already thought of deposing the crown prince and establishing Yang Guang as the crown prince.

Not long after, the news of the Southern Dynasty's destruction of the world reached Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and the two monsters. Bai Wuqiu heard it and went to his 'bird father': "Old guy, this is wrong. Didn't you say that my stupid brother is the one who ends the troubled times? Why do you say that the person named Yang is the one who ends the troubled times? God made a mistake again?"

Gui Bugui looked at his cheap son with a smile and said, "Who said that it is not a chaotic world now? Compared to the chaotic world that I could see before, the water is more muddy now. The bottom of the water that could only be seen clearly is now impossible to see even a minus. I don't believe it, the Yangtze River has stopped flowing for no reason. Someone intends to sacrifice his life to protect the person named Yang Guang. The water is getting more and more muddy."

"The Yangtze River has stopped flowing... I am immortal. We ginseng seems to have heard the old man Yan Aihou talk about this." At this time, Xiao Rensan jumped over and looked at Gui Bugui, and continued: "The old man said that this is a magic trick. A big monster in the Yangtze River did this. It broke the water and was filled with the river when people started to cross the river. The drowned person was his supper. Later, he was slaughtered by a large monk passing by. If it weren't for the old man of the Demon King, those monsters would not have been able to go down the mountain. We ginseng would have thought it was the shameless monster who did..."

"It can cut off the Yangtze River water. A cultivator with some cultivation can do it. But if you really want to ginseng, it will be very interesting." Gui Bugui smiled and turned his gaze to Wu Mian's face and continued, "What do you think? Is this Yangtze River water done by a demon or a human, but no matter who did it, the intention is too obvious."

"No. The more you talk about it, the less confident I feel." Before Wu Mian could speak, Bai Wuqiu, who was on the other hand, had already glared at his eyes. The idiot continued to say to his 'bird father': "Old guy, Cheng Da Si is also your godson. We have worked hard for so long, and then we were robbed first by the unintentional ones. That fool would be ugly. In a few years, I will be the demon king, and that stupid boy is the human king. How exciting we are both kings...

Old guy, his business is my business, and my business is your business. Just tell me, don’t care about your business..."

"It's said it's my business for the old man. For the sake of your silly boy, then go and take a look." Gui Bugui's eyes remained on Wu Mian's face when he spoke. After seeing the white-haired man not showing any impatient expression, he continued: "No matter whether it is a human or a demon, this force must be with the doll named Yang. You will understand everything after just one look. Speaking of which, it's been a few years since we went to Chang'an, so we'll take a look at it this time."

After resting for a night, the next morning, the two of them and the demons used their own magic and arrived at Chang'an City. Since the fall of the Han Dynasty, these people have not entered the territory of Chang'an for hundreds of years. Although they have been ruined for many years, Chang'an City has been the capital of several dynasties. The Northern Zhou Dynasty has built its capital here again. Under Yang Jian's management, Chang'an has flourished rapidly again, which is not much worse than the heyday of the Western Han Dynasty.

After a few people wandered around the streets, they inquired about going to the mansion of King Yang Guang of Jin, wanting to go in and find out about the truth. However, when they arrived at the front of the mansion, they heard that Yang Guang had already been ordered to go to Yangzhou and go to his Jiangnan General Manager's camp to take office. It seemed that the prince was afraid that his younger brother had made too much contribution and was worried about leaving him in the capital. Then he used his prince's authority to make an excuse that Jiangnan could not have a general manager for a day, and ordered Yang Guang to return the military power and go to Yangzhou to take office.

Now the family members in the Jin Palace had left Beijing with Yang Guang to Yangzhou. There were only a few housekeepers in the palace and the servants guarded the house. Gui Bugui sneaked into the palace and looked around but found no clues about the monks and monsters left here.

If no clues were found, they could not come in vain. Under Xiao Rensan's instigation, the four of them decided to go to the palace. If the force that cut off the Yangtze River was not helping Yang Guang, they would have to go to Yang Jian. Perhaps it would not be possible to find any clues in the palace.

The palace of the Sui Dynasty continued the pattern of the Western Han Dynasty, and they were quite touched when they revisited them again. Whether they were casting spells at the moment, the four of them hid their bodies and wandered around the palace.

After walking a long way, they walked to the Yongshou Palace where Yang Jian lived. Before they could enter the door, they heard a voice scolding: "As the crown prince, you don't want to relieve my worries, you are talking bad things about your brother in my ears all day long. Don't be jealous of his military achievements. Without your brother fighting for the country, the world will be passed to you. Are you doing steadfast?"

While speaking, Wu Mian and the other four had already walked into Yongshou Palace and saw an old man in his imperial robe teaching a middle-aged man in his thirties kneeling in front of him. The surroundings were filled with eunuchs and palace maids, as if they had not heard the old emperor's words, staring at the air in front of him without looking sideways.

Listening to the interval of his emperor's father's instruction, the prince kneeling down explained: "Father, my son doesn't mean this. He just complained to his son, saying that the King of Jin's mansion was raising dead soldiers. The son originally didn't believe it, but he thought it would be better to report to you, the old man."

"How did they know that your brother raises death soldiers? Do you dare to break into the residence of King Jin?" The old emperor snorted coldly and continued, "Who is provoking the relationship between our father and son of the Tian family and brothers? Prince, you personally lead someone to arrest the man and kill him without interrogation..."

After saying this, the prince's face turned pale, and his body shook a few times and almost fell to the ground. He originally wanted to give his own brother eye drops, but he didn't expect that the old emperor would not believe him at all and would implicate the informant. If this matter was spread, who else would dare to work for him? I'm afraid he would go to Yang Guang.
