Chapter 260: No Choice

In the early morning, the fiery red sun filled the small courtyard on Chaimen Street.

Yang Ge put his head on the chicken coop and stretched himself facing the rising sun: "Ah ah ah..."

Xiao Huang sat at his feet and opened his mouth sleepily: "Ah ah ah..."

After stretching comfortably, Yang Ge lowered his head and lightly kicked Xiao Huang: "What do you want to eat today?"

Xiao Huang tilted his head and thought for a while: "Woof woof."

"Noodles again?"

Yang Ge scratched his messy hair: "You've been eating noodles for two days, aren't you tired of it?"

Xiao Huang grinned and wagged his tail vigorously.

"Alright alright……"

Yang Ge muttered and rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen. A faint smoke curled up, and the sound of clear water washing the large iron pot could be heard.

After a while, the two men squatted in front of the kitchen door, burying their faces in a pottery bowl that was bigger than their faces and eating.

At the right time, the sound of Xie's door closing next door came into the small courtyard. Xiao Huang immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Yang Ge was amused: "What, you want to play?"

Xiao Huangwu's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up, swung his big tail, and came up to lick his face.

"Ugly rejection!"

Yang Ge backed away in disgust: "A mouthful of lard..."

Xiao Huang didn't care, and moved her mouth enthusiastically into his arms.

"Okay, this is because you wanted to go out and play."

Yang Ge pushed his big face away and said with a smile: "Don't regret it later!"

The little yellow tail shook its tail and left an afterimage: "嘤嘤嘤..."

Not long after, a scream of "ouch" was heard, and a golden light rose into the sky from the small courtyard and flew towards the west.

"Woof woof woof, woof woof woof..."

The panicked barking of dogs pierced the sky. Countless Luting people squatting in front of their homes with bowls of ocean in their hands looked up at the sky in confusion and curiosity: "Where are the dogs flying in the sky?"

After muttering a few times, they suddenly looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

Half an hour later, Yang Ge landed outside the gate of Ziwei Palace with the light of his sword. He bent down and put Xiao Huang on the ground. Xiao Huang's four legs were weak and he staggered for two steps before falling to the ground with a "pop". superior.

It turned its head angrily and looked at Yang Ge, shouting hastily: "Woof woof woof, woof woof woof!"

Yang Ge was so happy that he couldn't see anything: "Do you blame me?"

"Woof woof woof woof woof..."

The Jinwu guards guarding the palace gate tensed their bodies, clutched their swords and guns tightly, and looked straight ahead, pretending they could not see the person or the dog.

Yang Ge did not embarrass them, he teased Xiao Huang as if no one else was around, and slowly released his pressure...

After a while, I saw Tang Xiong walking quickly out of the palace with his hair combed. From a distance, he complained: "Come as you say, why are you going to have such a big battle?"

Yang Ge held Xiao Huang and said with a smile, "What else? Just rush in?"

Tang Xiong was speechless and stepped forward to hold Yang Ge's arm resignedly: "Let's go and taste the breakfast of our Royal Horse Prison..."

Yang Ge didn't move: "Thanks, I've already eaten."

Tang Xiong: "Then you just wait like this?"

Yang Ge: "Wait for now. I'll ask you to accompany me later."

Tang Xiong: "Why do you have to be so angry? The official family is still your disciple."

Yang Ge: "It's better to be more mature, this moment, that moment..."

Tang Xiong couldn't persuade him, so he could only turn around and wave to Jin Wuwei on one side: "Get two chairs for me, and make two bowls of hot tea."

Yang Ge smiled and said: "Don't bother, we are already here..."

Tang Xiong turned around in surprise and saw Zhao Miao running out of the palace carrying a small bundle.

"Second brother, Xiao Huang..."

She happily waved to Yang Ge and Xiao Huang from a distance.

Yang Ge looked at her, she was thinner and haggard...

Tang Xiong looked at Zhao Miao, who was wearing a simple apricot-colored Confucian skirt under the golden tiles and red wall, and then at Yang Ge, who was wearing a white washed green gown. He couldn't tell whether he was sighing or saying "tsk" in surprise.

Zhao Miao ran out of the palace gate, gasping for air and hugged Xiao Huang: "Haha, Xiao Huang, are you coming to take me home too?"

Xiao Huang stopped barking when he saw her. He was holding a double-barreled shotgun in her arms, and his tail was almost wagging into an afterimage.

Yang Ge took the small baggage from Zhao Miao's shoulder and hung it on himself, holding Xiao Huang in his hand: "Let's go, take me to see your mother."

Zhao Miao was stunned for a second, and then she was overjoyed and pulled Yang Ge towards the palace: "Let's go, let's go, my mother was still talking about you last night..."

Yang Ge held Xiao Huang's hand and let her pull him inside, listening to her introduction to the majestic palaces in Ziwei Palace.

Xiao Huang walked between the two of them, wagging his tail, curiously looking around at this unfamiliar large courtyard. When he passed through the palace gate, he raised his legs and peed under the wall, beating him, Mr. Huang. The symbol... It may be the first Chinese pastoral dog in history to walk through the gate and enter the palace with its head held high.

The ordinary two people and one dog walked slowly through the majestic and magnificent palace with gold tiles and red walls. They seemed so out of place, but they were both elegant and elegant.

Tang Xiong followed them without saying a word.

Yang Ge: "Please go back and discuss with the emperor on my behalf to see if Zhao Miao's mother can be allowed to leave the palace to live. I keep running to the palace, which is not suitable..."

Tang Xiong pondered for a few breaths, nodded and said: "I will discuss this matter with the emperor."

Yang Ge handed over his hand: "Thank you very much."

Tang Xiong waved his hand: "For your own sake, I am just a messenger, so I don't deserve your thanks."

…

Time has proven once again that without anyone in this world, the sun will rise as usual.

The throne was handed over smoothly. Except for the new emperor who caused some disturbances among the people in the first month after he ascended the throne, the following days seemed to be no different from before.

In addition, the reign name "Xiping" is still used this year. If they don't mention it deliberately, the people will not realize that the chair in Ziwei Palace has been occupied by another person.

When someone mentions it deliberately, someone will always say: "The late emperor was a good emperor!"

As for the death of Emperor Xiping...

Yang Ge asked acquaintances from Longhushan, Louwailou, Mingjiao, Lianhuanwu and other high-ranking sects to investigate on his behalf, but found nothing.

The time interval is too long, and the time when the mischievous old monk stirred up troubles coincided with the chaos in the southern martial arts world. Now let's find out where the mischievous old monk ended up besides Yang Potian. , too late and too difficult.

This unsolved case has cast a deep shadow over the new dynasty.

Many people feel uneasy, feeling unsettled and unsteady, like sitting on top of a time bomb.

It’s not that they don’t know what the problem is, but what can they do if they know?

Just like Yang Ge, could he still go to Beijing and kill the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty?

Of course he can do it, but what will happen if he kills everyone? Who can put an end to this?

The reason why the capital is the capital is because it is the heart of the Wei Dynasty. Every pump of it affects every muscle and every drop of blood in the Wei Dynasty...

If he empties the entire court with one blow, the world will be in chaos within a month!

Therefore, he could only try to suppress the world, buy Zhao Hong time to clean up the court, reshape the court, preserve the current peace, and continue this hope...

…

Late August.

Xiang Wudi's "Invincible Fleet" was organized and ready to set sail, and Yang Ge rushed to Zhoushan to see him off.

Perhaps due to some kind of bond, Xiang Wudi still set the gathering place for his invincible fleet at Nansha Bay.

When Yang Ge arrived at Nanshawan, Yang Tiansheng, Xiang Wudi, and Li Jincheng had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Go one!"

The wine slurry rolled, and the four wine jars collided heavily.

The four people staggering around on the deck picked up the wine jar and took a swig.

Since the death of Emperor Xiping, Yang Ge has not been so relaxed and happy. At this moment, he is sitting on two sacks, holding the wine jar in his hands and laughing happily.

The four of them looked at his dissolute appearance, but they actually felt uncomfortable.

"Let me tell you, second brother, just ignore the Zhao family's mess!"

Xiang Wudi was wearing a linen jacket with his chest exposed and his belly exposed. He held a wine jar with one hand and patted his thigh with the other: "We heard about Emperor Xiping, but they still suspected you? Mother Xipi, we still don't know. Wait, let’s go to sea and conquer a big country. Let’s get a dragon chair and sit on it ourselves, so that we won’t be slandered by the Zhao family!”

Yang Ge raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Where did you hear this?"

Xiang Wudi raised his chin towards Yang Tiansheng: "Boss Yang told us."

Yang Ge looked at Yang Tiansheng.

Yang Tiansheng opened his clothes, curled his lips and said, "I heard it from the Xiu Yiwei..."

Yang Ge raised the wine jar and took a sip, wondering: "How quickly did you get rid of those old antiques from your Ming sect?"

"This is where the problem lies."

Yang Tiansheng sneered and said: "I haven't dealt with the old guys in the sect yet. They came to my door again and again to ask for recruitment, and their tone was more arrogant... If it weren't for Lao Wei's sake, I would have We've already killed those ungrateful idiots! Why do you think they're here to show off to me?

"If you ask me, I should fuck them hard!"

Li Jincheng's eyes were blazing and he patted his thigh and said: "Brothers are just too lazy to bother, isn't it because they have lost their temper? Are they really being pinched by them?"

Yang Ge looked at him in confusion: "What? The imperial court is also causing trouble for you, Lianlianwu?"

"hold head high!"

Li Jincheng also had a puzzled look on his face: "You said I haven't had any trouble in Lianlianwu, right? When the court asked for money, I gave them money, and when they asked for people, I hired them, and why did they let them get into trouble? See? The sky changes all sorts of ways to come and cause trouble for me in the Lianlian dock, and they even talk like they are competing with each other. Damn it, I almost couldn't help but pick up a gun and poke those bastards' 108 transparent holes several times! "

Yang Ge looked at Xiang Wudi with a sullen face.

Xiang Wudi spread his hands and said: "The imperial court has never come to trouble me. They just wanted to seduce people overtly or covertly. After I blocked them, they blocked me in terms of supplies... Fortunately, this is Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"

"Second brother, do you think they think they have killed Yang Potian and we should listen to them?"

Yang Ge frowned and scratched his head: "Why have you never told me these things?"

"Can I tell you?"

Yang Tiansheng sneered and said, "Are you from the imperial court? Or do you think our brothers need your help to defeat them? Who do you look down on?"

Yang Ge said nothing.

He knew that Yang Tiansheng was openly mocking him, but secretly he didn't want him to be in trouble, and he didn't want him to wade into these muddy waters.

He silently picked up the wine jar and took a big sip, and then said with a breath of wine: "I have friends in the court, but you are also my friends. I don't want to cause chaos in this world, but I don't want to wrong you either. If they are really ungrateful and want to get into trouble, then you should do it to them. I, Yang Erlang, don’t have that much dignity, and even if I did, I wouldn’t use it to make my friends feel wronged..."

Yang Tiansheng interrupted his ramblings rudely: "Okay, let's not talk about these nonsense. We know when it's time to take action... In short, as long as we have a clear conscience!"

He raised the wine jar and touched it with Yang Ge: "It's rare that you are willing to move away. Let's talk about something happy. Young Master Renxiang is gone. I don't know when I will come back. I don't know when I will have another drink." "

Yang Ge raised the wine jar and touched it with Xiang Wudi and Li Jincheng. He smiled reluctantly and said, "I mean, drink!"

Xiang Wudi: "How come the nice words coming out of your mouth sound so bad... Gudong, Gudong."

Yang Ge breathed out the smell of alcohol and said with a "hahaha" smile: "Where are you going to go as your first stop when you go out this time?"

As soon as he talked about this, Xiang Wudi's eyes lit up and he said without hesitation: "Luzon Island!"

Hearing this familiar name, Yang Ge was stunned: "Why do you want to go somewhere?"

Xiang Wudi: "Why else? That sweet potato that Mr. Chen Zhenlong and Chen from Fuzhou brought back from Luzon Island, didn't you say it could save the people of the world from famine? I went over to take a look to see if they have any other good ones. thing!"

"And Mr. Chen, didn't you tell me, that poor place even set up a customs, and they didn't allow people from other countries to take away good things from them. They also said that violators would be hanged... I'm still confused. Wow, how many countries are so arrogant? Let me go over and fuck the big ones and see what they can do to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three brothers said "fuck" in unison.

Yang Ge looked at him suspiciously and asked, "I remember you weren't like this before?"

Yang Tiansheng nodded in agreement: "Yes, he was such an honest kid when we first met him. How come he turned into a horse bandit in just two or three years?"

Li Jincheng: "More than just a horse bandit, he is simply a horse bandit, even worse than a horse bandit!"

Yang Ge: "Stop hanging out with that old gangster Lao Wang and learn from it!"

"Jealousy, naked jealousy."

Xiang Wudi waved his hand seriously: "You just envy me for being able to go out to sea!"

The three brothers said "嘁" in unison, turned around and walked away.

Xiang Wudi shamelessly picked up the wine jar and touched it with the three brothers, then they drank together.

Finally, he said sternly: "Second brother, let's be honest, Mr. Yang and Mr. Li both have such a big family business to take care of, and they can't get away. You have nothing to do, so why bother to shut yourself up?" In a small place like Luting? Didn’t you say before that the world is huge outside? If you can’t bear to leave, you can take the second sister-in-law with you on the boat and let’s go overseas!”

Yang Tiansheng: "Young Master Xiang's words make sense!"

Li Jincheng: "Your position is too sensitive now. The court, the world, and the lake are all watching you, and plotting against you overtly or covertly. Even if you are not afraid, it is still troublesome, isn't it? You might as well go for a walk..."

The two looked at Yang Ge together.

Yang Ge shook his head without thinking: "There is an elder in the family, and his body has been weak in the past two years. I can't leave... Let's wait and see in a few years!"

He brought up the wine jar.

"You, you, you asked us to tell you what you would like."

Yang Tiansheng sighed and mentioned the wine jar: "I have been in the world for so long, and I have never seen you go back again and again..."

Li Jincheng also mentioned the wine scene: "You can't say that. If it weren't for the second brother running around putting out fires in recent years, the world might have been in chaos long ago. You and I just haven't reached the position of the second brother. Otherwise, You and I may not be more free and easy than my second brother.”

Yang Tiansheng said angrily: "You idiot, where did you come from?"

"Of course I will support whoever is right!"

Li Jincheng and Yang Ge touched each other: "Of course I also want my second brother to live a easier and faster life, but just because I want my second brother to live a easier and faster life, I can't say that the second brother's life and death in the past few years are meaningless, right?"

"Go and ask the people in the world, can they agree with your theory?"

Yang Tiansheng raised the wine jar and touched it with him angrily: "You are the only one who is smart!"

The four brothers raised their heads again and took a swig of wine. Yang Ge waved his hands with a blushing face: "Every generation has its own responsibilities. I'm still young, so I'll just carry it for a few more years. When everyone's life gets better, I'll carry the bucket." Run away and follow Mr. Xiang out to the waves..."

Xiang Wudi: "It's a deal!"
