"Beiping?" Yang Lin suddenly turned around.
"Yes." Wei Wentong naturally knew his foster father's admiration for the King of Beiping, Luo Yi." Luoyang guessed that Luo Yi felt that His Highness the Crown Prince did not value him, so he made a move…"
"Hmph, this is just a small matter. If Yuwen Zhiji is dead, so be it.”" Hmph!" Yang Lin snorted and said disdainfully," I'm surprised that Yuwen Cheng lost.”
He had never liked those things in the officialdom.
A real man should gallop on the battlefield, expand his territory, and make contributions.
All he knew was to rope in this and that. What was the point?
"That's right. I've seen him once. He has the courage to fight against ten thousand men. I heard that he has already entered the peerless realm. He will probably catch up to me in battle very soon, but even so, he still lost. His left shoulder was shattered.”
Yang Lin frowned slightly.”
Wei Wentong shook his head, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face."Godfather might not believe it, but according to Yuwen Cheng, the voice of the person who defeated him was very young, no more than twenty years old, or even seventeen or eighteen years old.”
He licked his lips." I don't think that's possible. He must be making things up."”
A peerless seventeen or eighteen-year-old.
How was that possible?
Even the Overlord entered the peerless realm at the age of nineteen, and his foster father was twenty-seven.
Was there anyone in this world who was more talented than the two of them?
It didn't exist.
However, Yang Lin's eyes lit up when he heard that.""Oh, did Yuwen Cheng really say that?”
Wei Wentong shook his head." Yuwen Cheng didn't say that. The entire Luoyang is spreading this news."”
"That's right." Yang Lin laughed and his mood actually became better," Wen Tong, your talent is excellent. You're already a Peerless Realm Level Three martial artist at such a young age, but you still don't know much about the politics.”
"If Yuwen Cheng hadn't been defeated by a young man, there wouldn't have been such news. This would undoubtedly be a blow to the Yuwen clan's prestige.”
"Since there is such news, it means that there is at least an 80% chance that this news is true.”
"But what's the use of spreading the news?" Wei Wentong frowned in confusion.”
"Of course there is." Yang Lin curled his lips." There are some people in this world who don't want to see a genius who can compare to the Overlord's talent grow.”
"It's just a borrowed knife."
"Wen Tong, write a letter to Luo Yi and ask him who that genius youth is.”Yang Lin stroked his beard." If it's possible, I want to take him as my foster son and be my Thirteen Gangsters.”
"Yes, foster father."
Caozhou.
After the war a few years ago, a third of Caozhou was destroyed and countless people died.
But now, it was bustling again.
People came and went.
In a simple and luxurious courtyard, an old man with silver-white hair stood in the middle of the room. His chest was heaving up and down. He was obviously cultivating something.
His face was fair and clean, the corners of his eyes were wrinkled, and his eyebrows were long and wide. He looked like he had lived a long life.
His ears were thick and big, his eyes were like copper bells, and he had a long beard on his chin. It was 1.9 feet long, and each strand swayed in the wind.
The old man was nine feet and nine inches tall. He was different from ordinary people. He was like a giant and had a kind expression.
"Master, someone sent a letter."
A child walked in and respectfully handed the letter to the old man.
The old man opened the letter.
In the next second, his eyes widened as he let out a hearty and heroic voice.
"Hahahaha!"
"I didn't expect my adopted son to have already entered the peerless realm and even defeated Yuwen Cheng, who was of the same level. Good, good, good!”
"Yun 'er, pack your things and prepare to set off.”
"Master, where are we going?" The child was puzzled.”
"Ji Prefecture!"
……
Jizhou was a remote area, located at the edge of Great Sui.
Apart from the caravans that passed by, few outsiders entered.
However, because Yuwen Cheng had been defeated here, he had become the center of the Great Sui Dynasty's whirlpool. Countless people were rushing over.
At this moment, the main character of this storm was following Qin Qiong to the east.
The two of them rode on a tall horse and continued forward.
It had been six days since he killed Yuwen Zhiji and returned to the Beiping King's Mansion.
Just the day before yesterday, Qin Qiong had asked Luo Yi for leave because she missed her mother.
Luo Yi agreed. After all, he couldn't let his nephew not go home to see his sister-in-law.
However, the moment Luo Cheng heard this, he knew that Qin Qiong's trip would also trigger the plot, so he took the initiative to request to go along as well.
He also wanted to pay his respects to his aunt.
Naturally, the Luo Yi Qin Clan agreed to it and even instructed Luo Cheng to greet the other party on their behalf.
"Too slow, too slow."
Luo Cheng said leisurely.
He carried a spear on his back. It was his favorite Five Hook Divine Flying Spear.
Other than not finding a gold-grade gun, he could only make do with it.
Of course, it would be wrong to say that Jizhou did not have a Gold Rank spear. However, that spear was in Luo Yi's hands. Luo Cheng did not have the courage to pull out a tooth from a tiger's mouth.
"Cousin, how is it slow? This is a fine warhorse seized from the Turks, able to travel eight hundred li in a day.”Qin Qiong rolled his eyes.
This kind of warhorse was very popular in the entire Great Sui. Many people wanted it but did not have it.
"Hehehe." Luo Cheng gave him a sidelong glance." Sure, cousin. Then I'll give you this Turkic warhorse, and you give me your yellow horse. Is that okay?”
Qin Qiong's expression changed, and he revealed a guarded expression.""Cousin, how did you know I have a yellow horse?”
" Your cousin knows everything," Luo Cheng said lightly." You can't hide anything from me. For example, you like Li Rongrong, and you have that yellow horse…"
"But are you going to exchange it or not?"
"Of course not!" Qin Qiong flatly refused."Since you've told me about the yellow hussars, then you should know that they're mutated beasts, silver beasts at that! How can I only trade for a Turkic warhorse?!"”
"Hmph, stingy."
Luo Cheng turned his head away disdainfully.
However, he was only joking.
After all, exotic beasts and herbs were extremely rare. Qin Qiong's yellow horse was worth more than a hundred Turkic warhorses, let alone one.
It was more like a thousand horses, and basically no one would change it.
"That's why you're a classic example of someone who can talk without hurting his back. You have a mutated beast that can travel ten thousand miles in a day.”
Luo Cheng felt his teeth ache. As the son of a noble lord, he controlled the entire sixteen counties of Beiping, yet he could still beat the Turks into fleeing.
However, he was still inferior to a constable like Qin Qiong!
Qin Qiong had mutated beasts, but he didn't!
Ahem, of course, it wasn't as if there weren't any exotic beasts in Beiping.
For example, Luo Yi…
Another example was the Eighteen Knights of Yanyun…
But none of them were people he could go to.
He really couldn't accept it.
He looked up at the sky and sighed, his expression bitter.
Perhaps this was the tragedy of life. It could never be perfect.
Seeing Luo Cheng's abnormality, Qin Qiong could not help but laugh out loud.
"Cousin, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly become like this?”
Luo Cheng looked at the sky with resentment, still immersed in his world without mutated beasts. He casually replied,"What else could it be? If I had a mutated beast before, I could have kept Yuwen Cheng here.”
"So what if he ran away? What's the big deal? We'll just kill him the next time we meet.”Qin Qiong thought it was something, but he did not expect it to be just like this.
"Haha." Luo Cheng looked at him indifferently.
Without someone as outstanding as him, they would never understand the regret of not leaving Yuwen Cheng behind.
Although Luo Cheng was confident that he could defeat the other party the next time they met, killing the other party would not be so easy.
Who knew what would happen the next time they met?
Moreover, the other party could not beat him this time. Only a fool would fight him head-on next time.
"Sigh, forget it. I don't want to think about it anymore." Luo Cheng cleared his thoughts and looked into the distance." Cousin, when will we reach Aunt's house?”
Qin Qiong looked around. The path in front of him was becoming more and more familiar.
Thinking about returning home, he was excited."Soon, soon. It's only a dozen miles.”
"Then hurry up. I can't wait to meet Aunt.”Luo Cheng said in a clear voice.
"Alright."
Qin Qiong nodded heavily.
The two of them urged their warhorses to gallop on the main road.
" Mother, Mother, I'm back!"
A hurried voice suddenly sounded in the small courtyard.
Qin Qiong's mother, Madam Ning, happened to be feeding the chicks. When she heard this, her body trembled and she turned around, dropping the dustpan in her hand.
"My son, my son is back!"
She hurriedly walked out.
However, due to his weak body, he stumbled and was worried that he might fall at any time.
Xu Maogong hurried forward.”
He supported Mrs Ning and walked out.
At the same time, a bright light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Qin Qiong was back!
When Xu Maogong and Mrs Ning walked out of the room, they saw a familiar figure leaping over.
Mrs Ning's eyes welled up with tears.
"My son, my son is back…" she said shakily.
Qin Qiong was similarly excited, and her entire body was trembling.
He couldn't even control himself and his legs went weak.
"Bang!"
He walked forward and knelt in front of Madam Nong. He used so much force that he sank more than five inches into the ground!
This wasn't a leg sinking in, but a fragile knee!
One could imagine how excited Qin Qiong was right now.
"Mother, this child is unfilial. There has been no news for so long, making mother worried.”
Bang bang bang!
Qin Qiong kowtowed three times in a row.
Dust flew everywhere.
Mrs Ning cried tears of joy as she bent over to help Qin Qiong up."My son, get up quickly. It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!”
Qin Qiong stood up and wiped the tears from her eyes as she sized up her mother.
As she sized him up, her tears flowed even more uncontrollably.
He was a filial person to begin with. After leaving for several months, there was no news from him, and he felt extremely guilty.
Xu Maogong looked at the scene of a loving mother and a filial son before him and felt a myriad of emotions.
He was right.
Such a filial person was worthy of deep friendship.
"Son, you have to thank the Taoist priest.”After calming herself down, Mrs Ning looked at Xu Maogong with a smile." You've been taking care of me while you were away."”
Qin Qiong's expression turned solemn. He looked at Xu Maogong and cupped his hands in gratitude."Duke Mao, thank you for taking care of my mother while Shu Bao was away.”
"In the future, if there is anything Uncle Bao can help with, just tell me. Uncle Bao will not refuse!”
Xu Maogong waved his hand." Uncle Bao, you're too polite. You and I are brothers. There's no need to be so polite between brothers!"”
"Your mother is my mother. It's only right for you to take care of your mother.”
"Good brother!" Qin Qiong laughed.”
At this moment, Xu Maogong's gaze landed on Luo Cheng who was behind Qin Qiong.
"Uncle Bao, I wonder who this is…"
He looked at Luo Cheng and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart. What a handsome youth.
He had a jade-like face and was as handsome as Pan An, but compared to Pan An, he was a little more beautiful and sharp.
Thus, a handsome and graceful young man was born.
When Xu Maogong was sizing up Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng was also sizing him up.
Knowing the plot, he knew that the person in front of him was Xu Maogong.
His surname is Xu, his name is Shi Ji, and his word is Mao Gong.
The military advisor of the Tile Gang Village, the best strategist in the world!
This person's life was enough to be called a legend.
In his early years, he joined the Wagang Village as a military advisor. Later, Wagang fell apart and turned to Li Tang.
Later on, he had followed Li Shimin to attack Xue Yantuo twice, pacifying Qibei, defeating the Eastern Turks and Goguryeo, and making great contributions to the Great Tang's expansion.
In the end, he was given the surname of the country and changed his name to Li Ji. He was on par with the Great Tang's God of War, Li Jing, and later entered the Lingyan Pavilion as one of the twenty-four meritorious officials.
But now, he was still a martial arts practitioner. He wore a black and white robe with a Daoist bun. There was a small beard on his chin, which looked a little messy because he hadn't taken care of it.
However, this person was definitely not simple, because Luo Cheng could see some brilliance in his eyes.
He could also see the brilliance in Little Nose's eyes.
"Oh right, Mother, Duke Mao, let me introduce you…"
At the mention of Luo Cheng, Qin Qiong suddenly woke up and pulled Madam Ning to Luo Cheng.
Luo Cheng lifted his robe and knelt on the ground.
"Luo Cheng greets Aunt."
He kowtowed three times in a row and knelt on the ground to look at Mrs Ning.
Mrs Ning was stunned, and her eyes widened as she looked at Luo Cheng in disbelief.
The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and her entire body trembled."You…you are…you are…"
Her surname was Luo, and she even called her Aunt.
There was no other person in the world!
But Luo Cheng's sudden appearance gave her an incomparable impact. Even Qin Qiong's return did not make her so shocked.
Qin Qiong quickly supported Mrs Ning and explained,""Mother, he is cousin, auntie's only son!”
Mrs Ning took a deep breath and smiled happily.
Pulling Luo Cheng up, she held his hand and said excitedly,"Get up, Cheng 'er, quickly get up."
Luo Cheng stood up. After sizing her up for a while, she wiped her tears and praised continuously.
"My Cheng 'er is really handsome. Who knows how many girls he has charmed!”
Luo Cheng was speechless.
Qin Qiong: "??"
After Mrs Ning calmed down a little, the group of people entered the room and sat down. Qin Qiong poured some water and chatted with everyone about their encounters over the past few days....
Only then did Xu Maogong realize that the handsome youth in front of him was the son of the famous King of Beiping of the Great Sui Dynasty. He was destined to be the young duke of the sixteen counties of Beiping in the future.
He couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Luo Cheng wasn't angry about this, but allowed him to size him up.
After all, he had already decided to conquer the world, so he had to fight for all the talents in history and novels.
Xu Maogong was undoubtedly a top talent in the world. The reason why the Wagang Village could survive for so long in the early stages, even defeating Pei Yuanqing, Yang Lin, Wei Wentong, and subduing Qiu Rui was all because of his resourcefulness.
If Luo Cheng subdued him, it would undoubtedly make his path to hegemony much easier!
Mrs Ning listened to Qin Qiong's story, tears streaming down her face.
He did not expect Qin Qiong to encounter such a thing and be sent to Jizhou.
Fortunately, Luo Cheng recognized the Qin family's Jian, so nothing that made her wish she was dead did not happen.
"Cheng 'er, Aunt still has to thank you. If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid Qiong' er would have suffered a lot.”Mrs Ning said to Luo Cheng.
Luo Cheng hurriedly said," I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. Cousin, you're a lucky man. Even without me, you can still turn misfortune into fortune and turn danger into safety."”
Mrs Ning naturally couldn't do that, so she just smiled kindly.
But at this moment, Xu Maogong suddenly said,""Little Marquis is right. Shu Bao is blessed with great luck, so turning misfortune into good fortune is definitely not a problem.
Luo Cheng, Qin Qiong, and Mrs Ning immediately looked at him.
"But if it weren't for the young duke, I'm afraid that Shu Bao would still have suffered a bit, unlike now.”He looked at Qin Qiong and scolded with a smile," Not only are you more energetic than when you left, even your waistline is probably bigger.”
Qin Qiong's face instantly darkened, and he shook his head with a bitter smile.""There's no other way. The food in the Imperial Residence is too good. It's all food that contains spiritual energy.”
The room was filled with laughter.
……
Night fell. After dinner, Luo Cheng's last room was in the wooden house next door.
It wasn't luxurious enough, and there wasn't much furniture, but Qin Qiong had already tidied it up, so Luo Cheng wasn't that picky. After all, when he had entered the desert to hunt down the Turks, the conditions had been a hundred times worse.
Therefore, he gladly accepted it.
