Some people also reminded that, after all, this is Chang'an at this time, and Li Yuan has already proclaimed himself emperor.
"Che, you also know that it is Tang Guogong, but he is just a false emperor, the same nature as Wang Shichong before.
If you want to talk about this world, it still belongs to the Yang family, then it is justified, and it has the destiny of a real dragon blessed by the heavens. "
The strong black man didn't take seriously the words of the person who reminded him.
"Wait for His Majesty to bring the heavenly soldiers and heavenly descending troops to fight, and the nine-day thunder strikes down, hehe..."
Having said that, the strong black man smiled and stopped talking.
"oops."
Suddenly, an old man next to him called out.
"Why, Lao Zhou, you were taken aback."
Someone asked.
"The third son of my family has been clamoring for the past two days to serve as a soldier for the Li family, but his mother has kept stopping him.
It's a good thing that brat wasn't allowed to go, if he did, wouldn't it be a dead end for the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals of the Holy One.
No, you keep drinking, I have to go back quickly.
What to say this time, I can't let that stinky boy become a soldier, that's going to die! "
After finishing speaking, the old man left the tavern directly and hurried home.
"I have to go back too."
Just as the old man left, another young man stood up and wanted to leave.
"Why, Lao Zhou has a son, and you Han Ying didn't even have a wife, so why are you going back?"
Some of the crowd laughed.
"I don't have a son, but my elder brother does.
My elder brother's family is already seventeen this year, and he insists on joining the army in the past two days, saying it is to reduce the burden on the family.
My elder brother agreed, and now I have to go back and stop it, so I can't let the bastard go.
If you go there, you will die. I would rather my family members go hungry and have an extra mouth than let my eldest nephew go to die! "
After speaking, the young man left in a hurry.
"I have to go back too..."
"Me too……"
Immediately, many people left one after another, all eager to go back to prevent their relatives from becoming soldiers.
This scene in the tavern was all seen by Li Er who was sitting on a table in the corner.
At this time, Li Er was dressed in ordinary clothes, more like an ordinary young man, with a few followers around him, all of whom were dressed as ordinary people.
"Your Highness, now you know why we haven't been able to find any soldiers at the recruiting office!"
Among the entourage, one person smiled wryly and said to Li Er.
"This group of foolish people, I will stop them."
Among the entourage, a fat man was about to rush out with an angry expression on his face.
"Bite gold, don't be impulsive."
A handsome man next to him reached out to stop Cheng Yaojin.
"Shubao, why are you stopping me? These foolish people owe a lesson."
"Yijin, sit down, the Second Highness is still here, everything must be obeyed by the Second Highness, you must not be reckless."
Qin Qiong said.
"Humph."
Finally, Cheng Yaojin sat down sullenly.
That's right, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin still came to Chang'an at this time, serving Li Er.
At the beginning, after the main force of Wagang was defeated by the Sui army, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others led the remnants of Wagang to flee and wander around.
After Li Er in Chang'an heard the news, he immediately knew that the opportunity had come. This was a rare opportunity to recruit the heroes of Wagang.
Therefore, Li Er sent his closest confidant, Sun Wuji, to leave the customs in person, looking for news about the remnants of Wagang, and finally found Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin.
Changsun Wuji is eloquent, and after finding Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, he really moved Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin with his words.
Immediately, the two followed Changsun Wuji to Chang'an and defected to Li Er.
"Do you know how far this rumor is spreading?"
Li Er looked serious at this time, and asked.
At this time, Li Er realized the power of these rumors from the conversations among the traffickers and pawns. If they spread like this, it would be too bad for Li Tang.
From the mouths of these common people, it was obvious that they didn't really approve of Li Yuan who had just proclaimed himself emperor.
On the contrary, due to the spread of these rumors, they still have great awe of Emperor Sui Yang, the faint emperor.
"Your Majesty, this rumor has just been introduced into the pass, but it has already become popular outside the pass.
There are many versions of the rumors, but without exception, they all say that Yang Guang is the real dragon emperor, the gods descended from the earth, invulnerable to swords and guns, attracted thunder, smashed down the walls of the Eastern Capital, and descended from heavenly soldiers and generals, etc.
It has been said that there are noses and eyes, and many people believe it. As a result, our conscription has been unable to reach the established number.
Even the family members of some recruits who had just joined the army ran to the barracks and asked to bring back their children. "
The eldest grandson Wuji next to him narrated.
"How did this rumor start?"
Li Er also had a headache, and was puzzled at the same time, how could such rumors appear for no reason, yet the common people still believed them.
Generally speaking, in view of Yang Guang's perverse actions before, the common people should not easily believe these rumors that are biased towards Yang Guang.
"This...Second Highness."
At this time, Duan Zhixuan, who had been silent on the side, spoke.
"Zhixuan, just say what you have to say." Li Er said.
"Yes, Second Highness.
According to what I have learned in private, this rumor is not groundless, but really true.
Many people have seen it with their own eyes, and all the knowledge has been passed on from word to mouth and spread quickly. "
"how is this possible?"
"It's nonsense for a god to come down to the earth to fight ten thousand with one, and to attract the thunder of the nine gods and blast the city wall, so that the heavenly soldiers and generals will descend to the earth."
On the contrary, Li Er absolutely cannot accept this set of facts.
Immediately, Li Er turned his head to look at Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin who were beside him, and asked, "Shubao, Yaojin, you two are the only ones among us who have ever fought a decisive battle with the Sui army.
You have the most right to speak. Tell me, what are Yang Guang and Sui Jun like?Is it as rumored? "
Li Er turned to look at Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, and asked them.
"Well, Second Highness, in the opinion of my subordinates, these rumors about the mythical emperor Yang Guang and the Sui army must be false.
However, it is not entirely false. "
"Huh? How to say."
When Li Er heard Qin Qiong say the first half of the sentence, he was still nodding, and then he suddenly heard Qin Qiong's turn, and asked curiously.
"Yang Guang's subordinates indeed have a group of peerless generals, whose military strength has never been seen before, perhaps they are the heavenly soldiers and generals in the rumors of the common people.
For ordinary people, they are really heavenly soldiers and generals. "
Qin Qiong said with a wry smile, this is a sad thing for Wagang.
"That's right, that stupid gentleman Yang Guang recruited a group of masters from somewhere, and that martial art is really the best.
My old Cheng met a black-faced ugly guy, he was so strong that I finally fought with him for [-] rounds before..."
"Bite gold, it's time, you have to tell the truth, or you will mislead the Second Highness."
Cheng Yaojin took pride in himself and didn't intend to talk about his defeat to Dian Wei, but was scolded by Qin Qiong next to him.
"Well, I admit, I lost to him within thirty strokes, and finally I escaped."
After being scolded by Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin simply told the truth.
"I encountered a Chinese character here, which made a heavy spear, and I fought against it, but it also couldn't last for [-] rounds.
At that time, it also made me truly know what it means to have a sky beyond the sky and someone beyond the human.
That battle was the worst battle I lost in Qin Qiong's life, but I was convinced that I lost. "
Qin Qiong recalled that when he faced Li Cunxiao at the beginning, he was still afraid when he thought about it now.
"Yang Guang's subordinates actually have such a strong general!"
Hearing what Qin Qiong said, Li Er was also shocked.
Li Er knows Qin Qiong's character very well, so he won't speak wild words.
As for Qin Qiong's martial arts, he has seen it with his own eyes, and he can definitely rank among the top three under Li's second hand.
But now, even Qin Qiong can't resist thirty rounds, how strong is the opponent.
"However, Second Highness, although the fierce generals on the other side are powerful, I can assure you that they are still flesh and blood people, not gods."
Qin Qiong said again, with a firm tone.
"Okay, my Highness knows, according to Shubao, it can be explained, the rumors of the common people are the rumors of a group of heavenly soldiers and generals under Yang Guang.
But what kind of god came down to earth, with one enemy ten thousand, led down the nine-day thunder, blasted open the city gate, rained down the sky fire, and burned Wang Shichong to death, so what to say.
Can these also be explained? "
Li Er really didn't believe it, and continued to ask.
"Well, Second Highness, we can't explain the next few items, but the first one, saying that Yang Guang is a god who came down to earth, is one enemy of ten thousand, there is something to say."
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin spoke.
"Why, can this also be explained?
Come on, bite gold, you talk about it. "
When Li Er heard what Cheng Yaojin said, his eyes widened, and he wanted to hear how Cheng Yaojin would explain it to him.
"That, it's not what the stupid king Yang Guang did, did he really take some panacea.
He is already 50 years old, and he actually goes into battle to kill the enemy himself, and what's even more outrageous is that he is really extraordinary in martial arts.
At the beginning, when we fought in Wuminghe, the central army was led by Shi Xin, who was also the strongest among our three troops.
However, the Sui army led by Yang Guang was abruptly defeated, and the strength of the Sui army was far less than ours.
Shi Xin was defeated by Yang Guang and was almost killed, which I only found out afterwards.
Shixin's martial arts are much better than mine, not inferior to Shubao.
Second Highness, you can imagine how strong that guy Yang Guang must be in martial arts.
Moreover, countless soldiers saw with their own eyes that Yang Guang was alone, and hundreds of soldiers on our side couldn't take it down. I thought it was outrageous when I heard it.
Even, I heard that Yuwen City was defeated by Yang Guang himself, and even the weapons were lost. I don't know if it is true or not.
This may be the origin of the rumors that Yang Guang is a god who descended to earth, invulnerable to swords and guns, and one enemy to ten thousand.
Of course, it is impossible to fight under the gods, let alone one against ten thousand, one against one hundred, it is almost the same.
However, the only thing that my old Cheng can't figure out is how Yang Guang suddenly possesses such force.
It's no wonder those people spread such rumors, and now my old Cheng is about to believe it. "
Cheng Yaojin said depressedly, this is something he couldn't figure out until now.
"There is such a thing, it is really strange.
Yang Guang had never heard of him practicing martial arts before, how could he suddenly have such a strong martial arts. "
