The Great Tang was built on horses and corpses. Where there was war, there was hatred. Although the war had subsided for several years, the hatred that had seeped into the bones of some people still lingered in their hearts.
For example, Shan Xiong Xin's old subordinates that had not been exterminated, Li Mi's old subordinates, and Ding Yanping who was now eighty years old.
Ding Yanping was an arrogant man at the end of the Sui Dynasty. He was a vicious and vicious person with great ambition. His martial strength was even more tyrannical. Even two Yuchi Gongs might not be his match. Luo Cheng had only secretly learned three moves and two styles from him, but he was already known as a Silver Spear General with Iron Guts. This was enough to prove that this person was not just a little bit strong.
However, he did not have the intelligence to match his ambition. If you didn't have the intelligence to match your ambition, you shouldn't play the game of backstabbing.
In the end, many people were killed, and his entire family was killed. He did not reflect on himself, but attributed his tragic ending to Li Er. He believed that all of this was caused by the Li family. Since the seventh year of Wude, Li Yuan had ordered to nip those potential threats in the cradle. Now, they were almost eliminated.
Ding Yanping was nothing more than a remnant. After being tracked by the government for four years, he had no fixed residence and could only run to Ryukyu. Ryukyu was also not peaceful, so he could only run to Hainan Island, where there were no savages.
Fortunately, Li Er ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world. He relaxed his vigilance against those ambitious remnants, so Ding Yanping could take the opportunity to enter Guanzhong.
Bahe Village was dozens of miles away from Chang 'an. It belonged to the Zhili Province of Chang' an. One could enter Chang 'an from the Golden Light Gate by following the Bahe River all the way to Baqiao.
In an old house in the countryside, Ding Yanping and a 15 or 16-year-old youth were sitting in the house. The youth had a burly figure and was expressionless. He held two tiger head short spears in his hands. Ding Yanping also held two short spears. Beside him was a leopard that weighed more than 300 jin.
Ding Yanping caressed the leopard's fur beside him, his eyes shining brightly as he laughed darkly,""There is no hope of the Dragon Throne in this life. Now, it is Li Tang's world. There will be a day when I can't walk anymore. I will definitely end up in a miserable state. Hehe, even if I die, I will drag Li Yuan or Li Shimin with me. At the very least, I will kill all the civil officials in the court. If he doesn't let me live well, I won't let Li Tang live well either.”
The young man was still expressionless, but his expression had a deep meaning and he seemed to be struggling.
Ding Yanping said," Ding Peng, the newly conferred Marquis of Langya County will enter Chang 'an in a few days. There won't be too many people. Cheng Yaojin has been appointed Governor of Lan Province and won't enter Chang' an. He will go to Longyou Road to collect salt. There is no need to worry about being exposed."”
"When he enters the pass, we will intercept him and kill him. You will impersonate him and go to the Imperial Palace to hear the conferment. This flying needle has been dipped in poison. When the needle is drawn, it will definitely cut your throat. Master will meet you outside the palace gate. When you leave, Master will buy you a good wife and live a life of seclusion.”
"I'll listen to Master." Ding Peng nodded calmly.”
Will Yanping take the risk? The older a person was, the more afraid they were of death. Working together from the inside and outside was only a temporary strategy to stabilize this young disciple. He reckoned that when he really reached the palace, the old fellow would have run off to somewhere to hide.
…………
There were only 12 people in the team who returned the same way. They all rode fast and arrived at the Guanzhong Ancient Road in three days. This was the only way to enter Bahe Village and Chang 'an through Baqiao.
He had been busy for the past few days, so he didn't have time to spend the traffic. However, when he arrived at the station, Yan Jue relaxed and ordered a few catties of mutton, pig's ears, and a few side dishes. He also made a pot of Huadiao that he didn't know how to taste.
The herald shook his head." Marquis Yan, we have military matters to attend to. We cannot drink before we report. Can we wait until we report before drinking?"”
Yan Jue smiled and said," The heavens are high and the emperor is far away. A small drink is insignificant. Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, and I know. Even if His Majesty has eyes and hands everywhere, can he still manage this place?"”
The herald and a few imperial guards 'expressions changed drastically. The herald looked around the restaurant and saw that no one was paying attention to it. He heaved a sigh of relief and said in a low voice,"Marquis Yan, be careful with your words. Be careful of what you say. Alright, since Marquis Yan has said so, I will make an exception.”
Eunuchs were like monks. Monks abstained from sex, and eunuchs abstained from sex as well. They were both called servants.
After everyone drank three portions of wine, the herald couldn't take it anymore and his face was already slightly red. The few imperial guards, on the other hand, looked normal.
Yan Jue chuckled and revealed his true nature. He asked softly,"Supervisor Xu, do you know which family in Chang 'an has a beautiful daughter? I am still young and unmarried. If there is a daughter of a good family who is of equal status, I will have to look for her.”
Supervisor Xu smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed."He entered the palace with nothing since he was young. He didn't have the fortune to enjoy the joy of human relations. Why would he care about those women? However…hehe."
Chief Supervisor Xu was also a kindred spirit. He chuckled and looked around to see that no one was paying attention. Then, he whispered,"However, the few princesses of His Majesty are quite beautiful, especially the fifth princess. At the age of seven, her skin is already fair and beautiful. In a few years, she will definitely be a beauty. However, His Majesty especially loves the fifth princess, and Yan Hou probably won't have the chance to be her husband.”
The fifth princess? Yan Jue thought about it carefully. It should be Princess Li Lizhi of Changle County. She would only be conferred the title of Princess of Changle County next year.
Supervisor Xu continued," Marquis Yan, to tell you the truth, you are handsome and handsome. You will definitely attract the attention of many women in Chang 'an. I think the Eldest Princess is very good. She is about the same age as you and is fourteen years old. Her appearance is excellent. She is elegant, well-educated, friendly, and good at calligraphy and painting. She is also very considerate to us palace slaves. If Marquis Yan can be appreciated…hehe, she will definitely become a good wife and mother."”
Supervisor Xu, who had been forced to drink by Yan Jue, began to talk nonsense. He was not careful with his words after drinking. Once he started talking, he could not stop. He knew more secrets in the palace. When he opened his mouth, he felt that the whole world was his own.
From the evening until the sky was hazy, the moon was bright, and the stars were sparse, Yan Jue had a better understanding of the royal family's descendants. Naturally, the cuckold princess was excluded from his mind.
However, Li Er still had a few daughters who had good temperaments and good looks, but his sons were not good. Li Chengqian was slightly weak, and Li Tai was too shrewd. Li Ke exposed the intelligence of an adult at this age, indicating that he was brainless and pushed himself to the forefront.
Why did he say that? Zhangsun Wuji's eyes were fixed on him. He was not the child of his sister, so he would never let him be the Crown Prince. If there was a chance, Zhangsun Wuji, this schemer, would throw Li Ke into the river and drown him.
Li You and Li An were not worth worrying about. They had inherited Li Jiancheng's ruthlessness, but they did not have the wisdom to match the ruthlessness. Sooner or later, they would die.
Just as Yan Jue was lost in his thoughts, the Dark Stallion on the other side of the saddle suddenly let out a neigh, followed by the miserable cry of the waiter. It was as if he was being served by eight burly men in turns, and his cry was extremely miserable.
