Chapter 14 Shadow Assassin

The flowers are shining brightly and the willows are light and bright. I will give it to me before drinking hops.

I am also drunk every day, so I don’t teach the sound of the music.

*******

In the original Tang Dynasty, Yang Xuyan is portrayed as a villain who uses any means to achieve his goal, and is determined to restore the Sui Dynasty. This is also a reason for Shi Zhixuan to accept him as his disciple. In the process of changing the country, there are always some conservative old ministers willing to die with the old era in order to express their duty as ministers.

When the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, there were criticisms of people who died after they were killed, and when the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, it was also true. It can be seen that this had nothing to do with the nation and personal cultivation. There was only the idea of ​​"loyalty to the emperor" buried deep in the bones of the feudal dynasty. For those who persisted until the end of the Ming Dynasty, we called them martyrs, and for those who were stubborn when the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, we called them dregs.

Because history was written by Han historians.

The same was true when the Sui Dynasty was destroyed. Compared with Yang Guang, the ministers who insisted on the orthodox Sui theory of the Sui Dynasty seemed to support the deposed crown prince Yang Yong more. At this time, they would miss Yang Yong's benefits and the wonderful times in the prosperous Kaihuang period. Then they would not think about whether Yang Yong would have sacrificed his family faster if he was the emperor?

There are always countless possibilities for things that have not happened, which gives people room for imagination. This illusory imagination can always make people feel spiritually satisfied like smoking smoke.

Facing the most famous assassin in the late Sui Dynasty, I gave up the last bit of luck and decided to spread the matter out.

"I know a little about you." I said in contemplation, "It was a coincidence that I met you outside the Eastern Palace. It was just a heartbreaking thing. You don't have to thank me."

"What a 'can't bear it'." Yang Xuyan said softly, "It was you who strengthened my confidence when I was the most confused, allowing me to see that even a person who knows nothing about martial arts can deal with many masters, and making me feel that even if I have nothing, I can get everything through hard work."

Is this kid praising me or scolding me?

"During those days, I pretended to be a beggar and suffered from the cold eyes of the world, and was excluded by other beggars. I ended up holding on because you set an example for me." Yang Xuyan said in a deep voice, "I said I had no malice towards you. If the stone master gave me this martial arts, then you gave me the courage to live."

"You said it earlier, I was so scared that I was sweating in a cold sweat!" I put down the lampstand I just caught and breathed a sigh of relief, "You are the one who meets An Long tonight, right?"

"Uncle Long and I have something to discuss," Yang Xuyan admitted.

"Then you came to me tonight to reminisce about the past, right?" I said suspiciously.

I don't believe the nonsense he said just now. It makes me feel so sensational, and I get goose bumps all over my body. I don't look like a cold-blooded assassin at all. I set an example for him. Why don't I say that I am the guiding light on his life path?

"I have been paying attention to your whereabouts over the years." Yang Xuyan said, "That's right, we have met several times. When you were in Jiangdu, you killed Yu Wenhua and I helped a little bit. When you escaped from the City Lord's Mansion in Xiangyang, I also solved the trouble for you. The night when you snatched the Heshi Bi in Luoyang..."

"Wait, you're not following me all the time, are you?"

"Of course not, it just happened to be the best." Yang Xuyan explained, "Yu Wenhua and Qian Duguan are both my targets of assassination."

Oh, I feel much more at ease when I say this. I don’t want a superb assassin to follow me. In fact, I was really a little embarrassed to kill Yu Wenhua in Yangzhou and that time. Thinking about his powerful martial arts, he died inexplicably at my hands, and his death was so cowardly, which is obviously unreasonable.

"Then I have to thank you." I thanked, "By the way, how did you recognize me?"

"This is just the basic skill of being an assassin. Everyone has their own characteristics. Whether it is walking or standing, speaking tone, eyes or any subtle facial movements, they can be the basis for identifying a person." Yang Xuyan explained, "In fact, we have seen it in Xingyang City, but we didn't dare to confirm it at that time. After all, it has been eighteen years."

I was speechless. It seemed that this guy was born as an assassin, or he was really impressed by me. It's true that I don't owe him money, so why do I remember it so clearly!

"Let's talk about your purpose this time." I decided not to get involved with him in details, and would rather send him away quickly so that he could continue to sleep, just treating it as a nightmare.

"I'm here to discuss cooperation this time." Yang Xuyan said calmly.

"Cooperate?" I asked.

"Or it is to say that I need an introductor to cooperate with the JAC Army."

"No, the Jianghuai Army is currently the leader of the Yingui Sect. Your master and Zhu Yuyan are not in harmony." I said in confusion.

"At present, Li Tang is the leader of the world, and Dou Jiande, King Shichong, can be a prince and cannot compete for the world. Jiangnan seems to have a great rise, but in fact, the Jianghuai Army is the most important. Everything depends on the movements of the Song clan. Now is a good time to cooperate with the Jianghuai Army." Yang Xuyan analyzed, "Shi Shi has been a little indifferent to the world over the years, and it is no longer as heroic as he used to be. Xuyan can only make some plans by himself."

"I still don't know much. Don't you want to reorganize the Great Sui Dynasty? If you cooperate with the Jianghuai Army now, will you still turn against each other in the future?" I asked without hesitation.

"The situation is not yet determined, and it is still unknown who can win the country. It is too early to say this." Yang Xuyan defended himself, "But if we don't form an alliance with the Jianghuai Army now, once the Song family takes action, there will be no chance for us to wait."

Now I understand that this is like stock trading. The JAC Army is a potential stock, so all the rich people want to get involved and become shareholders. They chose the opportunity without big players intervening to get a place first. Of course, these people will not only hold the JAC Army stock, just like the Yingui Sect not only has Lin Shihong from the Poyang Gang, but also the eunuch master who works undercover in the Li family. Their principle is to never put eggs in the same basket. Once the JAC Army stock shrinks or is suspended, they will immediately withdraw.

"Okay, I can help you introduce this." I agreed.
