Chapter 1144 Confusion

The rain drizzled down from the eaves, and the beauty of the bead curtain was perfect than any handmade bead curtain. The house was a bit old, so the bright red tiles that once looked gray and black. From the perspective of architecture, the owner of the house should be a rich family, but he was definitely not an official.

When the water droplets were connected into a line, the sky became completely dark.

Below the eaves and on both sides of the steps, there are already small shallow puddles on the paved bluestone slabs, which shows that the house has been built for some time.

From the open window, waves of white smoke came out. Under the faint lights in the room on a rainy night, the white smoke seemed particularly heavy.

I felt more and more that Yang Shun, who was old, would sit on the earthen kang in the room, sucking his pipe bit by bit. Then he deliberately raised his head and sprayed the smoke out of the window.

This is a dilapidated small village. As for where the people in the village have gone now, only ghosts know that foreigners pass through the borders more ruthless than locusts sweeping in the fields. Those foreigners who regard the Han people as inferior nations will not be stingy with their lives. In their eyes, there is no difference between the status of Han people and cattle, sheep and pigs.

No, the difference is that foreign soldiers will not rape a pig, but will never let a beautiful girl go.

Yang Shunhui stretched his arms hard, but found that his backbone was not straight anyway. He attributed this to the ruthlessness of time and did not think deeply about it anywhere else. The rain outside the window had been stretched for a day, and it was not something to be upset to him. On the contrary, he was a little relaxed.

Foreigners forced him to send troops. For him, whether it was to send troops or not, he had already brought the reputation of being accustomed to him. Even if he had a bath with boiling water, he could not get rid of it.

As he smoked, his thoughts were as vague as the smoke that was spraying.

In order to avoid Yang Jian, he fled to Dongjiang. Mu Guangling, who had a close relationship with him, gave him Mouping City. It was no longer important whether it was good intentions or malice, because it was when he arrived in Mouping City that Yang Shunhui became a traitor who had cursed eight generations of ancestors.

So Yang Shun would even hate Mu Guangling.

If Mu Guangling refused to take him in, where should he be?

He didn't know, but what he knew was that he would definitely not be used as a knife by foreigners. He was guilty of getting real money and silver. In fact, Yang Shun would know that he would become like this one day. But sometimes he would be confused, why do he want so much gold, silver and treasures?

He stretched out from the earthen kang and looked at his son who was sleeping on a long table in the room outside.

Finally, I have some reasons to feel at ease.

He never let his son get in touch with what he did. When he was fighting for the Sui court in the past, he didn't want his son to wear swords and armor, because he only had this son, and he didn't need any magnanimous family or honoring marquis or generals. He just needed his son to live well.

When dealing with foreigners, he did not allow his son to participate in it. He did not even tell his son how much benefits he had received.

But this time, he had to take his son to the war.

He did not dare to leave his son in Mouping City, even if he left ten thousand elite soldiers for his son, he would not dare to leave even half of his men. As long as he left, the fire would burn in that place, and the fire of anger and hatred. The people of Mouping City, who had been bullied by foreigners, did not dare to do anything to him, but after he led his troops away, no one could guarantee what kind of beasts the people would become.

His guess was right. After he left, the big mansion he lived in had been burned.

His son Yang Caiping slept very deeply. Because he had not experienced the pain of marching, he was so tired that he snored not long after lying down. Yang Caiping, Yang Shunhui had already spoiled him to the point of being unparalleled. He felt that the most correct thing he had done in his life was to escape Chang'an.

Because he heard that anyone with the blood of the Yang family was basically dead.

Although the relationship between him and the royal family was already very weak.

"Father, why are you not sleeping yet?"

When he was in a daze, Yang Shunhui didn't notice that his son had gotten up, and he walked into the inner room with an oil lamp, and then sat down on the edge of the kang: "It's late at night, I'll have to hurry up tomorrow morning, right?"

"Don't hurry."

Yang Shunhui smiled at his son Wen Shan: "Even if the rain stops in the second half of the night, there will be no way to get on the road tomorrow. The road is muddy and it is difficult for people to walk, let alone the big trucks of the baggage camp, if they are trapped in the mud, it will be difficult to push out. Following the battle for your father, it will be difficult for you. You rarely suffer such suffering, except this time, when you left Chang'an City last time."

"Father, why did you pack all the things in the mansion with you? We won't be Muping anymore?"

Although he was almost thirty years old, Yang Caiping, who was so spoiled that he still looked at the problem, asked. He didn't know or think about it. Mouping City was a thing of the past for the father and son.

"Not necessarily, but I won't go back for a long time."

"Oh Father, who are we going to hit this time? Foreigners?"

"This time no one fights, just a routine change of defense. Have you forgotten that we have not moved from Chang'an City to Mouping City for several years. We are here to guard the border, so we naturally cannot always stay in the same place. According to the practice of the Great Sui Dynasty, the border troops have to change defense every few years."

He lied and knew that his son would not doubt himself.

"I thought I was fighting a foreigner."

Yang Caiping yawned: "When I was in Mouping City, I went out to play. The people didn't seem to like foreigners, and they didn't seem to like me. Wherever I went, the people there were all dispersed. I asked He Kui, and He Kui said that the people were afraid of me. I didn't like the people, and I was not a beast."

"Go to bed."

Yang Shunhui rubbed his son's forehead: "If the rain keeps going tomorrow, we will barbecue in this room."

He Kui gently closed the door of the inner room, for fear of waking up Yang Caiping who was sleeping again. As one of Yang Shunhui's confidants, he knew very well where Yang Shunhui's rebellious scales were.

"General, do you have any instructions?"

He walked over and stood beside the edge of the kang, respectfully.

"I plan to give you a task, a task that is more important than anything else. He Kui, you have been following me for a long time, right? I used to ask you to lead the Beizi Camp, but later you were transferred back to be a different general in the personal military camp. Later, I asked you to protect Huiji. I have been at least ten years, right?"

"It's been twenty years."

He Kui replied respectfully: "It has been seventeen years since he was a young master. Including the past, it will take a little more than twenty years."

"Huiji and you are the best."

Yang Shunhui said something softly.

Huiji is Yang Caiping's name.

"That's because the young master respects Huye and is willing to be friends with Huye. Speaking of which, I have learned a lot of things with Huye over the years."

"lie"

Yang Shunhui shook his head: "Hui Ji is simple and even a little stupid. What can he teach you? But I have seen and kept this care for him in my heart over the years. It is precisely because you are sincere and Hui Ji trusts you that I will find you tonight."

He was silent for a moment, and then said, "Tomorrow morning, you will take your people to the baggage camp, where there are ten carriages I specially distinguished, which are loaded with half of my savings over the years. I will allocate a thousand people from the personal barracks to you. Tomorrow night, you will protect Huiji and the ten carriages and leave the brigade of troops and go to Gaoning to wait for me."

"Gao Ning?"

He Kui was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at the map spread on the earthen kang. The lights were a little dim, but the red dot marked on the map was particularly eye-catching.

"Yes, Gao Ning."

Yang Shun will point to the red dot position: "I can't leave the team, there are foreigners' spy everywhere. If I go with you, I'm afraid the foreigners will know immediately. So I will continue to lead the team to the Phoenix Platform. After that, I will find an opportunity to leave. You can go directly to Gaoning, and after arriving at Gaoning, go directly to the sea. There is an island called Zhenshan about 400 miles away from Gaoning, and wait for me there."

"General!"

He Kui's face turned pale: "Are you going to abandon the team?"

"Give up!"

Yang Shunhui nodded heavily: "This battle cannot be fought. Even if the soldiers have not rebelled against me yet, when they arrive at Phoenix Platform, I am sure that few people will take up weapons to attack the Black Flag Army in Phoenix Platform. If this battle is fought, I am a sinner. If this battle is fought, I am still a sinner. But if I don't fight, at least I am a little decent in my conscience. After you arrive at Zhenshan Island, wait for me, and then we will go directly to Bohai Country."

He pointed to a place on the map.

"The Bohai Kingdom was once a vassal state of the Great Sui Dynasty, but the contact was cut off after the chaos of the Great Sui Dynasty. The Bohai Kingdom once had an army stationed by the Great Sui Dynasty. The leader of the army was Gao Mengxiang. I was kind to him at the beginning and promoted it. Although the Bohai Kingdom was bitter and cold, it was peaceful. I no longer had the intention to fight the world again, and I didn't have the heart to think about the Nine Five Lords. I just wanted to give Huiji a good life and not let my Yang family break up."

"good!"

He Kui bit his lip: "No matter how you decide, General, you will follow your humble position to death."

"Um!"

Yang Shunhui nodded: "I can still trust you. There is actually no need for us to participate in this battle now. I have benefited from foreigners, and the Han people can no longer tolerate me. I don't use military force against the Han people, and foreign people can't tolerate me. We spend the rest of our lives in Bohai Country, without lacking wealth and comfort."

"The General is far-sighted."

He Kui glanced outside: "But, how do you explain to the young master?"

"Just say that I was transferred to Bohai Kingdom for office under the order of the court. He was simple and would not doubt it."

"Um"

He Kui sighed: "The general has worked hard for the young master."

"But once the foreigners suspect, will they chase and kill?"

He Kui suddenly asked: "Once we lose our team, will the Jianghu Gu chase and kill?"

Yang Shunhui's eyes changed. When he looked at He Kui, he did not notice the complexity in the eyes of this old subordinate. He was worried, afraid, and confused. There were some other things that were carefully hidden by He Kui. Perhaps everyone had their own worries, and they could not be taken out to bask in the sun.
