Time flies, and several months pass, and the world of the Sui Dynasty becomes more and more chaotic.

Similarly, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was dissolute and immoral, indulged in drunkenness and debauchery, and failed to govern internally and externally, which led to wars and outrageous rumors and claims that the world was condemning. The people of the Sui Dynasty were also affected by the chaos of the world. Due to the hardships of life, he began to complain against Yang Guang.

What's more, some good people even listed Yang Guang's top ten crimes and secretly spread them throughout the Central Plains. It said in a serious way: Yang Guang 'killed his father and brother' and 'incest is immoral' , 'Lewd and debauched', 'Build palaces extravagantly', 'Extort taxes and oppress the people', 'Travel and patrol to rebuild the Great Wall', 'Conquer Goryeo and engage in military violence', 'Refuse to give direct advice and kill straight men', 'The lack of integrity in the government leads to gentlemen and villains. In court' and 'not keeping one's word', etc.?

In this way, as the prestige of the Sui Dynasty government seriously declined, and as the blind people no longer trusted the government, the so-called rebels, rebels and bandits in various places became more and more rampant.

The blind people didn't care whether those things were Yang Guang's fault or not. They just blindly blamed Yang Guang's stupidity and began to more or less support or join the rebels in various places. Or maybe some emerging warlord forces just want a safe place to stay.

Among them, in addition to the original four great clans, as the dominance of the Sui Dynasty collapsed, some outstanding ones began to stand out in various parts of the chaotic Sui Dynasty world.

For example:

Li Mi, nicknamed "Pu Shanggong", the most intelligent general of the Sui Dynasty who was said to be like a god in military warfare and never defeated. After he used his conspiracy to seize the position of the leader of Zhai Rang in Wagang, the masters gathered together became more and more capable. They came more and more, and in just over half a year, they captured Wagang and captured Rongyang, and then captured Luokou Cang, the grain center of Sui Dynasty. For a time, they became so powerful that they had the potential to overtake Luoyang and sweep the world.

To the south of Wagang is the sphere of influence of Du Fuwei, who holds the world in his sleeves.

Du Fuwei, who was once the overlord of the underworld, has great martial arts skills and is known to everyone in the martial arts world as having "everything in his sleeve". After more than half a year of development, he has successfully captured Liyang, a rich and strategic place on the Yangtze River waterway. It claims to have hundreds of thousands of troops and is so powerful that it makes people look at them!

In addition to the lack of military discipline among the soldiers under his command, who committed crimes such as burning, killing, looting and looting wherever they went, and gradually began to become unpopular, he also had the faint power to dominate the world?

However, because he was defeated with a palm more than half a year ago and was seriously injured and on the verge of death. Fortunately, his subordinates desperately rescued him and barely managed to save his life. At this moment, his prestige and status in the world are no longer what they used to be.

In the northern part of Wagang Li Mi's power, Dou Jiande also took the opportunity to rise.

Taking advantage of Yang Guang's southern tour, he annexed and captured a large area of ​​the core territory of the Sui Dynasty and established himself as the "King of Changle". He founded the country with the name "Xia", made his capital Leshou, and began to invade and annex the Sui territory.

At the same time, Xiao Mian, who was guarding Baling in the south, was also ready to make a move. He began to recruit troops, forge weapons, build cities and make friends with the Song clan who were also in Lingnan, openly or covertly. His plans were huge!

As for Luoyang, let alone the original Sui Shangshu Wang Shichong.

He was domineering in Luoyang, occupying a fertile plain thousands of miles around the Yellow River Hetao. He had strong soldiers and horses, and sufficient wealth and food. He also began to obey the orders of the Sui Emperor, and his thoughts were no longer on the Sui Dynasty.

And the same!

Not to mention the three major foreign tribes, the Turks, Tiele and Tuyuhun, located in the northwest of the Sui Dynasty. They have always been eyeing the fertile hinterland of the Central Plains of the Sui Dynasty. Their people are extremely brave because they are in the dangerous borderland. They are born with

There are strong warriors and there are many masters among them, so they have long wanted to take advantage of the changes in the Sui Dynasty and trample the Central Plains with their iron hooves, just like the Wuhu Luanhua a hundred years ago.

Anyway!

The Sui Dynasty has really reached a dangerous point where a pack of wolves are waiting for it, wars are raging everywhere, and it is in danger, and collapse is only a matter of seconds.

In view of this, Li Yuan, the leader of the Li clan in the northwest, finally became the first family among the four great clans to rebel against the Sui Dynasty.

It is said that he was always hesitant in Guanzhong, but in the end, because the "Dongming faction's weapons account book" was about to be leaked, he had to rush to rebel against the Sui Dynasty and proclaimed himself a general, with his eldest son Li Jiancheng and his second son Li Shimin.

As the commander-in-chief and deputy commander of the three armies, he also joined forces with the Turks and sent troops out of Taiyuan to threaten Chang'an. He was huge and located in the land of Old Qin, where he could advance, retreat or defend. He had the strength to dominate the world almost instantly.

And at this critical moment!

The rumored disciples of the fourth greatest master in the world, Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling, who possessed the secrets of the "Secret of Immortality" and the "Yang Gong Treasure House" and whose reputations were rising like rising stars in the world, actually became the disciples of the fourth great master in the world.

On the pretext of presenting "Secret of Immortality", he tried to cooperate with the foolish emperor Yang Guang to kill Yu Wenhuaji?

However, they never thought that the two of them were alone and weak, and coupled with the diminutive emperor Yang Guang, they finally failed to achieve their goals. They only jointly killed the first-class master of the Yuwen Clan, Yu Wenzhi, and then calmly retreated without trace.

As for the 'foolish king' Yang Guang, he was naturally killed by the Yuwen Clan who successfully launched a rebellion and spread the news to Jiangdu, causing panic and chaos in the entire Jiangdu, that is, around Yangzhou.

Immediately afterwards, on the fifth day after Yang Guang was executed and it was announced that the Sui Dynasty had officially begun to decline, Li Zitong brazenly led an army to attack Jiangdu. However, Yu Wenhuaji, who had not yet stabilized the situation, had to take the initiative when he thought he was outmatched.

Give in and hand over Yangzhou to others.

Later, Yu Wenhuaji, who fled back to Chang'an in embarrassment, did not dare to stand up for himself under the charge of regicide. Instead, he supported Yang Guang's nephew Qin Wanghao as emperor, and wanted to continue to control the puppets.

The Sui Dynasty that had been completely destroyed by him?

Seeing the rare opportunity, the Li Clan in Taiyuan took their second son Li Shimin as their commander and led his troops to march towards Chang'an. A war between the two sides was about to break out!

Of course, the general trend of the world has nothing to do with certain people, especially those who are rich and powerful.

No matter how chaotic the world is, it's just ordinary people like ordinary people who have to endure the pain of war, lack of food, and displacement. For some upper-class 'big rats', they still have to suffer.

You should eat and drink and take shelter in time, but how can you care about the life and death of ordinary people in troubled times?

Isn’t this?

In Luoyang, on this evening, Wangtong's mansion in Yuexiu Village was holding a birthday banquet with lights, colors, singing and dancing.

Outside the gate of the village, there was an endless stream of traffic and guests!

In particular, I don’t know which good person spread the news, saying that Shi Qingxuanshi, who is extremely good at music and has a long-standing reputation, combines beauty and talent, will come to the birthday banquet in person and present a song to Wang Tong?

then!

After hearing the news, many people with ulterior motives, whether they really wanted to listen to the music, just wanted to see the beauties, or wanted to come to pay homage to his birthday, all came to Wang Tong in the name of paying homage to his birthday.

The large courtyard of Yuexiu Village, the family's residence, was bustling with people eating and drinking.

And the same!

After leaving the Dongming No., they traveled around for more than half a year, defeated and defeated many masters, and made a name for themselves in the arena. Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling also changed into new clothes and looked like a dog.

After giving him a modest gift, he easily blended into the birthday banquet.

"Young Master Zhong!"

"Look, there are so many people!"

"From this point of view, the rumors in the world are indeed correct. Wang Tong is indeed a great scholar of the generation. He is very famous both in the government and in the world. People really respect him very much."

"Um!"

"But some of them are extremely vulgar. They are obviously just here to see beauties."

"ha!"

"it's okay!"

"It's as if you and I are really here to celebrate the birthday of that old man Wang Tong?"

"!

"

"Can that be the same?"

"We are handsome, young, rich and talented in martial arts. How can we compare to those fat-headed guys?"

"Besides!"

"Ziling, you have a mother-in-law. If you can't survive any longer, you can just run back to the Dongming Sect and marry your sister Wanjing according to the order, but I can't. I, Uncle Kou Zhongkou, am already seventeen years old this year.

I’m eighteen and still single, so I can’t be in a hurry!”

"But……"

"You are sure that Shi Qingxuan is really a beauty. Have you ever seen her?"

"What if she is the same as Miss Zhai?"

"!

"

"Shut up!"

"From now on, Ziling, don't break my illusion until you see the true face of Master Shi!

"

After sneaking into the venue, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling did not go to express their birthday wishes to the three people sitting on the steps in the courtyard, that is, the Confucian king who was sitting in the three rosewood chairs, nor did they get along with each other.

Next to Wang Tong, Wang Shichong, the tycoon of Luoyang, and Ouyang Xiyi, the famous martial arts star "Huangshan Yimin" who was the same generation as Sanren Ning Daoqi, said hello. Likewise, they had no intention of sitting down, so they just said that there were at least dozens or hundreds of tables there.

The spacious manor courtyard where the banquet was held and the banquet site where numerous guests gathered were wandering around and chatting.

Because they didn't know those three people at all, they just took the opportunity to sneak in, waiting to listen to the music and prepare to see what the beauty Shi Qingxuan looked like. If they ran over to celebrate her birthday, wouldn't it be a big reveal?

"!

"

"very?"

"Ziling, be careful!"

"Ouch!

"

And just when Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who were dressed like dogs, were walking through the crowd and pretending to greet some guests they didn't know at all, suddenly, two sugar-roasted chestnuts flew from nowhere, and they thought they were

The first-class masters, even Yuwen Zhiji and the two people they killed, couldn't dodge, and then they took a solid blow on their foreheads, and let the chestnuts break into pieces on their foreheads?

"asshole!"

"Who doesn't have eyes?!"

While crying out in pain, the two people who were attacked and in a state of embarrassment, of course angrily pressed the handles of the long swords and scimitars at their waists, and immediately stared in the direction in which the two roasted chestnuts came.

go.

"!
