Chapter 122 forced to make peace

The gate of the camp opened wide, and eight hundred soldiers lined up from the gate, and then dozens of generals surrounded Yang Yuanqing and walked out quickly.

"Brother Jiancheng, don't be fine!" Yang Yuanqing laughed from afar.

When Li Jiancheng saw that Yang Yuanqing did not call him the prince, but used his personal name, he felt a little lighter in his heart. This would be the best, and neither side would have any pressure.

He also walked forward with a smile and bowed, "Yuan Qing, after many years of separation, his majesty is better than the past, which is gratifying!"

The two walked in, hugged each other intimately, and laughed together. The situation was a reunion of old friends who had not seen each other for many years, which made people sigh. But who would have thought that this was a life-and-death enemy?

"When Yuanqing heard that his aunt passed away, he was also sad. I hope Jiancheng's brother will be mourning."

Li Jiancheng said lightly: "Thank you for your concern. My mother has been seriously ill for a long time. She was disturbed a few days ago and unfortunately passed away. Jiancheng will remember the grudges in his heart."

This is the responsibility of his mother's death. Yang Yuanqing was on the head. Li Jiancheng told him that this revenge will be repaid.

Yang Yuanqing smiled like this and greeted Chen Shuda again. At this time, he unexpectedly saw Yang Rong. Yang Yuanqing's smile was restrained, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He did not expect to meet Yang Rong in this situation.

But the surprise in Yang Yuanqing's eyes only flashed, and his face was still very dull. He nodded to Yang Rong and asked, "Is your mother in good health now?"

Yang Rong was extremely panicked. He didn't dare to look directly into Yang Yuanqing's eyes, lowered his head and stuttered: "Her health... is not bad."

"So, I'll say hello to her."

Yang Yuanqing didn't say much, then turned his attention back to Li Jiancheng, and a smile appeared on his face, "It's cold outside the camp, let Brother Jiancheng stay for a long time, I'm rude. Please enter the camp!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from afar. Everyone looked back. A large group of people were beating gongs and drums, coming towards the camp with more than a thousand people, and two teams of Sui cavalry followed left and right.

Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but be stunned. What's going on? After a moment, a cavalry rushed over and reported loudly: "Your Highness, you are the people nearby. They all came to celebrate when they learned the news of the Sui army's victory over the Turks!"

"this....."

Yang Yuanqing was a little embarrassed, and he glanced at Li Jiancheng and had to apologize: "Please wait for a moment, I will say a few words to them."

Li Jiancheng could see that Yang Yuanqing was not a fake, and the matter came suddenly. It was indeed beyond his expectations. Li Jiancheng smiled and nodded, "It's okay for me to wait for a moment!"

At this time, thousands of people came to the camp gate in a mighty manner, and soldiers pointed out Yang Yuanqing to them. Thousands of people suddenly fell to their knees. The leaders were several old men, one of whom said loudly: "I heard that the Sui army defeated the Turks. This is the blessing of thousands of people in Huining County. We will thank His Highness the King of Chu!"

Another old man also whispered loudly: "In the early years of Kaihuang, the Turks repeatedly invaded the south, killing people and plundering money, and the people of Huining were suffering. Since His Highness defended Fengzhou, the Turks have never violated the territory. Now they have defeated the Turks again. We are extremely grateful and cannot thank them. We specially sent a thousand pairs of military shoes to express the wishes of our common people."

After saying that, several young and strong men carried several baskets of military shoes and came forward. Yang Yuanqing hurriedly bowed and thanked everyone, "Thank you, fellow villagers, to protect everyone's lives and property. It is the responsibility of the Great Sui soldiers. Please rest assured that if the Sui army is in Huining County for one day, they will never let all fellow villagers suffer from military disasters."

After saying that, Yang Yuanqing turned around and ordered Cangcao, "Each person gave them a bucket of rice to show his gratitude!"

More than a thousand people were cheering and extremely excited. Li Jiancheng was silent. Although this was not like Yang Yuanqing's deliberate arrangement, the appearance of these people slapped the Tang Dynasty heavily, public opinion! The Tang Dynasty owed too much, and Li Jiancheng sighed secretly.

"Let Brother Jiancheng wait for a long time."

Yang Yuanqing had already made arrangements and turned around and smiled at Li Jiancheng: "Please!"

"please!"

Li Jiancheng and Chen Shuda led twenty followers to Yang Yuanqing and walked into the Sui army camp under the escort of the Sui army.

...........

Yang Yuanqing arranged five large tents for Li Jiancheng and his party, and sent 500 people to protect them. No one was allowed to approach the Tang envoy's headquarters.

Yang Rong came to Li Jiancheng's tent with great worries. The guards at the door immediately reported to the tent, "Your Highness, General Yang is here."

"Please come in!" Li Jiancheng's voice came from the tent.

Yang Rong took a deep breath and walked into Li Jiancheng's big tent.

In the big tent, Li Jiancheng was sitting at the desk and was writing something. Yang Rong quickly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to salute, "See Your Highness!"

"Get up!"

Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "When I finish writing this letter, it will be fine soon."

Yang Rong stood aside in a nervous mood. He didn't know if the prince was suspicious about what Yang Yuanqing said to him just now.

In fact, Yang Rong did not want to come to Huining County. He asked the prince for leave twice, but was rejected by the prince. He really could not face Yang Yuanqing. His half-brother was about to become the emperor who controls the world, but he was a small Eastern Palace general with a low salary and no title. He also had a lot of gambling debts.

But he didn't dare to find Yang Yuanqing, including his elder brother Yang Jun, either. It was not just because they had a bad relationship when they were young, but that didn't matter. What mattered was that the death of their father Yang Xuangan had become an unsolvable knot between their brothers and Yang Yuanqing.

Yang Rong was full of regret for this, but regret could no longer save the fact that they betrayed their father. However, Yang Yuanqing actually greeted his mother's body just now, which made Yang Rong's heart ignite another glimmer of hope.

At this time, Li Jiancheng had finished writing the letter and put down his pen. He glanced at Yang Rong meaningfully and asked with a smile: "Well, what do you think when you see brother?"

Yang Rong shook his head, "Since he was kicked out of the Yang family, we have been no longer brothers."

"You're wrong."

Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "After all, you have the same blood flowing on you, no matter how brothers and sisters are, his expulsion from the Yang family is just a family conflict, not a father-son-brother conflict. How can you be so negative?"

Yang Rong suddenly realized, was the prince trying to do something? He thought about it and immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness needs to serve his subordinates if you have anything to do, just give me instructions!"

"Haha! There is one thing you want to do, but it's not now. You might as well talk about your brotherhood with Yang Yuanqing. I don't think he is so heartless to you. You have been with me for so many years, and I also hope you have a good future."

Li Jiancheng's tone was full of concern for his subordinates. Yang Rong already understood that the prince brought him with a purpose, and should have asked him to persuade Yang Yuanqing to agree, but... how could he have such a face?

Yang Rong knew it well, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he had to bow and say, "I understand, I will do my best."

"Go! I'm looking forward to your good news."

Yang Rong gave a bow and retreated. Li Jiancheng looked at him walking away, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes. Of course, he would not expect Yang Rong to play any role. How could Yang Yuanqing give up his interests for such a military and national affairs for many years?

Li Jiancheng just wanted to test the loyalty of the Yang brothers to him. Have they surrendered to Yang Yuanqing in secret?

......

Although Yang Rong was ten million reluctant, he dared not refuse to obey the prince's orders. He struggled repeatedly, and finally made up his mind and came to Yang Yuanqing's tent. His personal soldiers had already stopped him, but they recognized him, but did not speak harshly, but refused to approach him with a firm attitude.

"This is a military aircraft important place, and outsiders cannot get close to you. Please go back!"

Yang Rong bowed and said, "Please tell the King of Chu, and just say that Yang Rong is asking for a meeting."

A personal soldier nodded, "Wait!"

He turned around and went into the commander's tent to report. Soon after, he came back and said to Yang Rong: "Your Highness said. Please go to your father's tomb to build a cottage to mourn for three years, and then talk about other things."

Yang Rong suddenly felt relieved. Yang Yuanqing refused to see him. This was the best, but another deep disappointment surged in his heart. It was because of his father. Yang Yuanqing refused to forgive him and actually asked him to go to his father's grave to mourn for three years. How could this be possible?

Yang Rong felt heavy in his heart, and turned back to his tent, but Yang Yuanqing stood in the tent and stared at his back from afar. No matter what, Yang Rong and Yang Jun were both his brothers after all, and even if they didn't need them, they could do it.

But Yang Yuanqing could not tolerate them betrayed their father. If they wanted to scoop wealth from their own hands, they had to apologize to their father. The best way to atone for three years in front of the tomb was to atone for sin.

......

Li Jiancheng was waiting for Yang Rong's news, and a follower reported to Li Jiancheng: "Bizhi has been following him from afar. He was stopped in front of Yang Yuanqing's tent. Someone reported him. He seemed to refuse after returning. He seemed very depressed and turned around and came back. Yang Yuanqing refused to see him."

Li Jiancheng nodded, "Where is he now? Will he be able to account for it by himself?"

"It seems like he went back in frustration."

"Let him see me!"

Soon, Yang Rong came to Li Jiancheng's tent again and bowed, "See Your Highness!"

"How is it? Have you met Yang Yuanqing?" Li Jiancheng asked with a smile.

Yang Rong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Your Highness, we know that the hatred between us is far greater than family affection. If there is a little possibility of saving, we will go to Taiyuan to be the King of Xiaoyao. We are no longer brothers, but just killing our father's enemy."

"But, your father was not the one who was killed by you brothers. At that time, the entire Yang family decided to surrender together. You just followed the crowd and put the charge of killing your father on you. It was indeed a bit unfair."

Yang Rong was overwhelmed by the charge of killing his father. The prince's words made him cry. He knelt down and choked and said, "Your Highness is wise and knows the injustice of my brother and I."

"What did Yang Yuanqing say?"

"He said we should go to my father's tomb to build a cottage and keep mourning for three years, and then talk about other things."

Li Jiancheng smiled, "It seems that you still have the possibility of being forgiven."

Yang Rong kowtowed three times, "Your Highness is remembered by our brothers in his heart for the kindness of our encounter. Only by repaying our loyalty will we never betray Your Highness. Please believe us."

"Of course I trust you. Actually, I just want to help you brothers, okay! I won't mention this matter in the future."

Yang Yuanqing did not give him any chance, and Li Jiancheng also lost interest in Yang Rong's role. At this time, he saw a Sui army official hurriedly coming here. Li Jiancheng knew that this should be the first meeting was about to begin.
