Time Travel: Unrivaled in the Tang Dynasty

In the third year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, ordered Duke of Weiguo, Li Jing, to lead an army of 30 to attack the Turks. The army was unstoppable and went straight from Mayi County to Yinshan!

The Eastern Turks were defeated! The country was destroyed overnight, and the war stopped!

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Empress Xiao returned to Tang with the imperial seal. Since then, the world has been peaceful, which is known in history as: the Zhenguan Reign!

The scholars and writers sang praises to her, but they did not know that the imperial seal did not accompany Empress Xiao to Chang'an! ...

In the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, in Lingzhou, the official road is sparsely populated. Due to years of war and rampant bandits, the so-called official road exists in name only!

A melodious sound of Erhu came from the only remaining inn on the official road. The business of the inn seemed to be a little bleak, and there were some traces of wind, frost and swords on the doors and windows! A tattered inn flag fluttered in the wind: Ping An Inn!

There were some old tables and chairs in the inn, with three or two tables of guests. The old shopkeeper was fiddling with an abacus at the counter, his face full of worry. The waiter was bored and drowsy on the table. In the corner, an old man with gray hair and beard was weakly playing the hu string. Looking closely, there was a little girl of four or five years old curled up at the old man's feet. The little girl had two pigtails and her tender face was a little sallow due to malnutrition. At this time, she was closing her eyes tightly. I don't know if she fell asleep or was too hungry to move her eyelids.

"Have you heard? The Turks were defeated, and Empress Xiao returned home with the imperial seal!"

"God bless our Tang Dynasty, the war is finally over! We can finally live a peaceful life."

"It's hard to say! The Tubo border in the southwest has not been peaceful recently. The most terrifying is the Khitan people in the northeast. It is said that they are brutal and violent and often come into our territory to burn, kill and loot! The Protectorate can't do anything about them. After several encirclement and suppression operations, they suffered heavy losses."

"Ah, it's really hard to live in a peaceful and prosperous era!"

"Hmph! The so-called prosperous times are just whitewashed by the dignitaries hiding in Kyoto. No one would care about the lives of us ordinary people in the border areas."

A group of scholars who seemed to be taking an examination were discussing quietly.

puff!

The sound of tea spurting out was a bit abrupt at this moment. The two warriors sitting at the table by the window tried hard to hold back their laughter, their faces flushed red!

"Excuse me, my two brothers have been a little stupid since childhood. Please don't be offended. Continue! Continue!" A young man dressed as a scholar sitting at the same table with Wu Fu waved a paper fan and bowed in the direction of the scholar.

The candidates seemed to feel insulted, but when they turned around and looked at the four copper hammers the size of millstones beside the two warriors, they endured it!

"Brother Long and Brother Hu, people are discussing national affairs, why are you two laughing at them?" The scholar sat down slowly and asked softly!

Han Long and Han Hu were originally bandits who robbed and robbed people. The two brothers were strong and sturdy since childhood, and were born with supernatural powers and were good at using a hundred-pound copper hammer. They were later subdued by Ye Zhongyi, the leader of the Loyalty Gang, and since then they have become the leaders of the Loyalty Gang!

Hahaha! Han Long could no longer hold back and shouted, "These pedantic literati can only cry and beg for mercy when the country is in danger. On the one hand, they criticize the dark corruption of the regime, and on the other hand, they are trying their best to pass the imperial examinations and become officials. If these good-for-nothings become officials, I'm afraid the people will suffer even more!"

The candidate at the next table was extremely embarrassed, but had nothing to say!

The inn was completely silent for a moment. Oh! No, that low erhu sound was still going on.

"Stop pulling!" A candidate shouted at the old man in anger!

The old man was startled and hurriedly put away his erhu, and stroked the little girl's dry hair with trembling hands.

The scholar ignored the group of candidates and turned to ask Han Hu: "Brother Hu, why are you laughing?"

Han Hu rubbed his head and said in a muffled voice: "I didn't laugh at them, I just saw that Big Brother was trying not to laugh and I couldn't help but laugh too!"

The scholar shook his head speechlessly! These two are so funny!

At this time, Han Long looked eagerly at the silent gang leader Ye Zhongyi, "Gang leader, am I right? Although it was said by a scholar, I memorized it, not a single word is wrong, hehe!"

Ye Zhongyi frowned slightly, with a faint cloud of worry on his face. When he heard Han Long suddenly ask him, he subconsciously replied, "Yes, you are right!"

Han Long looked proud and excited!

The scholar put away his smile and looked puzzled: "Boss, why did you leave so suddenly this time?"

The gang leader summoned them in the middle of the night, and two hours later the group of four set off on their journey without stopping. Except for Ye Zhongyi, the other three looked confused!

Everyone knows that the gang leader's wife just gave birth to a baby boy three days ago. The gang leader was so happy to have a son in his middle age, so why he suddenly went on a long journey? It is really puzzling!

Ye Zhongyi raised his head and glanced at the scholar and the Longhu brothers, opened his mouth, and then let out a long sigh!

It must not be a trivial matter to make this heroic gang leader so embarrassed!

The wooden door of the inn suddenly opened, and a handsome young man in tight clothes walked in. As soon as the young man entered the door, his big black eyes turned and he walked straight to the window.

"Yu'er! What are you doing..." The scholar opened his mouth in disbelief!

Ye Zhongyi looked at the young man, anger, helplessness and doting emerging in his tiger eyes!

The young man jumped to the table, pulled a chair and sat down, quickly picked up the teapot, and drank it, while mumbling: "I'm so thirsty, Rufeng is a Ferghana horse that took four or five hours to catch up with you, don't think you can leave me behind... This young master, this young master has been waiting for this day to venture into the world, you want to leave me behind, no way!" Burp! The young man burped, and the pot of tea was empty.

"Yu'er, you are too naughty..." The scholar was a little anxious

"Sun Mou, you are only three years older than me, so you have no right to teach me or say that I am fooling around. I don't know who was talking about love and affection by the window of Su Ningshuang, a prostitute in Yingchun Tower last night. It gave me... I got goosebumps just by listening to it"!

"Also, did Su Ningshuang give you a handkerchief? What's embroidered on it? Take it out and let me have a look."

At this moment, the scholar Sun Mou wished he could find a rat hole to crawl into, bury his head under the table, and stop talking!

Seeing Sun Mou defeated, Ye Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Han Long and Han Hu!

"Uncle Long, Uncle Hu, is the daughter's red wine from the widow Liu in the west of the city delicious? You two aunts have asked me several times where you hid your private money. I can't even remember where I hid it under the big willow tree in the martial arts academy."

"Auntie, we two brothers have never offended you. Do you remember that I bought you a candied haws last month?" Han Long and Han Hu hurriedly showed their goodwill. The brothers' private money could not withstand the toss! Without the private money and the widow Liu, bah bah! No, there would be no chance for the daughter's red wine!

Ye Yu nodded in satisfaction, and stood up, like a little fox whose conspiracy had succeeded. As soon as she turned her head, her face was instantly filled with grievances, and her big eyes were full of tears:

"Dad, Mom was very angry when she found out you left without saying goodbye. She insisted on taking my brother back to her parents' home. I had to persuade her to stop after much persuasion. It's not easy for me!"

Ye Zhongyi shook his head helplessly. Ye Yu's grandfather and grandmother had passed away ten years ago. Going back to her mother's home? Didn't this girl lie without thinking? Leaving without saying goodbye? Who else could it be if the neatly stacked black silk and soft armor in the backpack was not that virtuous lady? It's just that there are some things I don't tell you, and you don't ask, just respect each other like guests!

"Forget it, the matter is done. If you want to go together, then go together! But you must obey the instructions of Daddy and Sun Mou in everything!"

"Hehe, I know Daddy is the best!"

Ye Yu's little face instantly lit up with smiles, and her little hands randomly ravaged Ye Zhongyi's shoulders!

Ok?

Ye Yu suddenly saw the little girl curled up in the corner.

The little girl was skinny and barely alive. She probably wouldn't live long.

Ye Yu grabbed the steamed bun on the table and walked to the little girl.

"Little sister, are you hungry? Come and eat the steamed buns!"

Ah! "Big brother, I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry"!

The little girl was a little panicked. She said she was not hungry, but her eyes were reluctant to leave the white flour bun in Ye Yu's hand. In this chaotic world, even this handsome little brother could not let the little girl give up her vigilance!

Ye Yu felt a little distressed, she took off her hairband, and her long black hair fell down!

"Little sister, is it possible that my sister is such a bad person when she is so beautiful?"

"No," the little girl grabbed the steamed bun and said seriously! The hungry little girl was reluctant to take a bite of the white steamed bun, because grandpa hadn't eaten for several days!

"What's your name?"

"My name is Xiuxiu" the childish voice came back!

Ye Yu felt a little sad. How could she, who had lived a life of luxury since her childhood, understand how important a steamed bun was to this little girl who was about to starve to death!

Ye Yu tied up her long hair slowly, without even looking at the group of stunned candidates. She returned to her seat and remained silent. Who could explain to her that this was the reality!

got windy!

The strong wind carried sand and stones, hitting every corner outside the inn.

"Close the window," Sun Mou stood up and bent down, trying to close the broken window a little!

"Wait!" Ye Zhongyi's hand unconsciously reached for his waist!

Da da da, rumble, a large number of troops are approaching!

The already broken wooden door was kicked open!

Wearing black clothes and mask and scimitar, he exudes murderous aura and is bloodthirsty!

Kill! Leave no one alive!

More than a dozen black shadows rushed into the inn, with flashes of knives and blood. The innkeeper and the waiter fell in a pool of blood!

The students screamed and scattered but they could not escape the sword lights in the sky!

The killers in black stepped on the corpses lying all over the place and slowly surrounded the table by the window!

Ye Zhongyi held the iron whip tightly in his hand, pulled Ye Yu behind him, and smiled bitterly: "Sun Mou, you are from the Protectorate!"

Sun Mou was stunned. Any lie would look pale at this moment! "Yes, Boss. I grew up in the purgatory of the Protectorate. When I was seven or eight years old, I fought wild dogs. As I grew older, I fought jackals, leopards, giant pythons, hungry tigers, and finally I was killed by my companions!"

"But since I came to the Zhongyi Gang, the brothers have respected me, and the gang leader and his wife have treated me as their own son. I feel like I am more like a human being. I have never thought of hurting the Zhongyi Gang, let alone the gang leader and his wife!"

"Then have you reported this trip to the Protectorate?"

"I... understand. Someone in the Protectorate betrayed me!" Sun Mou's face was filled with despair! His faith collapsed in an instant!

"Boss, take Yu'er and go first, we brothers will follow behind!" Han Long and Han Hu roared with disdain, glanced at Sun Mou who was lowering his head and blaming himself, and rushed towards the black-clad killer waving the copper hammer!

"You two useless guys in the Bone Tempering Stage are overestimating yourselves!" One of the killers stepped out and shouted softly. A white sword energy flashed, and Han Long and Han Hu's chests suddenly exploded, and the copper hammer fell to the ground!

Transformation state!

Ye Zhongyi stood in front of Ye Yu with a look of despair. He was only at the eighth level of Bone Tempering, how could he possibly defeat someone at the Form Transformation level!

Sun Mou's eyes flushed red, and he suddenly rushed towards the black-clothed master who was in the state of transformation, and his paper fan emitted a dazzling white light!

The fifth level of transformation!

How could a small border gang have a master at the 5th level of the Transformation Realm? Wanyan Hong was briefly stunned and hurriedly waved his sword to block.

boom!

The seemingly trivial intersection erupted into a huge noise!

Sun Mou took two steps back and his body crashed onto the tables and chairs, making a mess!

Wanyan Hong was even more miserable. He retreated five steps, the scimitar in his hand shattered, and the black clothes on his chest were torn, revealing a bloodthirsty wolf head tattoo!

"Khitan dog thief!" Sun Mou said hatefully.

A trace of vigilance flashed in Wanyan Hong's eyes, and the impact of the fan just now on his chest caused a dull pain!

"Hahahaha"

With a long laugh and surging true energy, the dilapidated inn seemed to fall apart at any time, and an old man in gray suddenly appeared in front of everyone!

Wanyan Hong's eyes lit up with joy, and he hurriedly stepped forward respectfully: "Master Imperial Master!"

The old man in gray looked to be over a hundred years old, with wrinkles all over his face and even a slightly hunched body, but his blood-red eyes made people feel cold in their hearts!

With just one glance, Sun Mou felt that his qi sea was ruptured, and his internal organs were burning! But he couldn't move! A large mouthful of blood spit out from his mouth, staining the white clothes and the beautiful handkerchief inside the white clothes red! Thinking of you, preparing red makeup, looking at each other through a layer of window paper, I shouldn't, dare not, and am unwilling!

Seeing Sun Mou fall to the ground, Ye Zhongyi could not hide his sadness. This young military advisor had been gentle and elegant for five years, working hard and treating the gang as his home! He would be gone after today!

"Sun Mou! Don't die!" Ye Yu's voice was hoarse and shrill!

Who can understand the feeling of a 12-year-old girl who is innocent and naive when she first sees that boy, with sharp features and elegant white clothes! This feeling has been buried for five years, even though the flower has feelings and the water is ruthless!

"Shut up!" Khitan national teacher Yelu Wuji shouted softly, and an almost invisible spiritual energy penetrated Ye Zhongyi's heart and hit Ye Yu's chest!

The unrivaled strength makes people deeply despair!

A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Ye Yu's mouth. She stared blankly at her father who slowly fell down. This was the man who doted on her and protected her so much!!!

Why? This group of men in black were so cruel that they didn’t even spare a little girl of four or five years old. The little girl’s skinny body was lying on her grandfather’s body. There was a deep knife wound on her thin neck, and blood was trickling out. Her eyes were blank, and her bloodstained little hands were tightly holding the steamed bun that she had only taken a small bite of!

Ye Yu didn't understand. She felt suffocated and leaned lightly on the table. She muttered to herself and slowly closed her eyes!

"Go find the jade seal!"

After Yelu Wuji gave an order, Wanyan Hong immediately rushed to Ye Zhongyi's bag, threw his black silk and soft armor aside, took out a gorgeous brocade box with both hands, and walked tremblingly to Yelu Wuji.

"Master, look!"

Yelu Wuji was finally moved. He flipped his dry palm and opened the brocade box!

Stone!

A square bluestone appeared in the brocade box.

Humph! Yelu Wuji waved his hand and the bluestone and the brocade box turned into powder.

How could this be possible! Yelu Wuji's face was terribly gloomy!

"Cut off the heads of these men and hang them at the door. Wanyan Hong, take the Thirteen Eagles and rush to the Loyalty Gang. Leave no one alive!"

Outside the inn, the wind and sand were still blowing, but there was no sound of the erhu, and there were five more bloody heads...
