Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 17 It's Pure Accident
In the early morning of the next day, Yang Ming and the others set off early, leaving the city from the Mingde Gate at the southernmost point of Daxing, and joined the team of Yang's clan outside the city.

A team of 6000 people composed of imperial guards, pro-military, and domestic servants marched in the direction of Nanshan.

Nanshan is only [-] kilometers away from Daxing, which can be reached in one day at their marching speed.

In the evening, Yang Ming and the others had already moved into the tent set up by the vanguard at the northern foot of Nanshan Mountain.

Wei Wang Yang Shuang is 36 years old this year. He is thin and pale, and looks weak.

He is the half-brother of Emperor Yang Jian, who holds the positions of General and Na Yan, the leader of the right army, and was granted the title of Zhu Kingdom.

In Yang Ming's impression, Yang Shuang in history should have died a long time ago, but in this life's Sui, the other party is still alive and well.

Yang Shuang was quite polite to Jinwangfu. After all, he was brought up by his eldest sister-in-law, Empress Dugu, and Yang Ming was favored by Queen Dugu, so Yang Shuang came to the Jinwangfu camp as soon as he set up camp. Say hello here.

Inside the camp, Yang Shuang waved away the guards around him, smiled and said:

"I deliberately placed your camp on the outskirts. The two young highnesses must have some opinions in their hearts?"

"How could it be? King Wei arranged it properly, and Yang Hao has absolutely no resentment."

The second child, Yang Hao, had a clear mind, knowing that the Prince Jin's Mansion would not be welcomed in Daxing, so the other party's arrangement was reasonable.

After all, in their team, those in the East Palace are the existences like stars holding the moon.

Wei Wang Yang Shuang nodded, looked at Yang Ming and said:

"I heard that your highness and the East Palace have had a few awkward disputes recently. His highness the crown prince is lenient and doesn't care about it, but the people below can't say for sure, so your highness should try to keep a low profile during this time. After all, King Jin is far away. Jiangdu, if anything happens, he will be beyond his reach."

This sentence is already a very obvious warning.

Yang Ming could tell that the other party must have received some rumors before reminding him immediately.

"His Royal Highness, benevolent? It seems that Uncle Wu doesn't know him very well, either?" Yang Ming said with a smile.

"Forehead"

Yang Shuang was stunned for a moment, shrugged with a smile, didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly to Nanny Lou who was sitting cross-legged in the corner, and then lifted the curtain and came out.

"Hey..." Yang Hao lay down on his back and muttered, "Let's stay away from the East Palace. Remember to bring your own guards when you go out to play, so you don't get bullied."

Knowing the situation, Yang Chan obediently nodded and said, "There is no one to support us in Daxing, so we must be more careful."

Yang Ming could feel that this pair of brothers and sisters were far more mature and calm than their peers. Perhaps it was due to the environment in which they grew up. With a background like theirs, a little slow-wittedness would be a bad thing.

But in fact, the only one who can give them the face of Prince Jin's Mansion is the East Palace.

Others are only qualified to see their faces.

In the Sui Dynasty, apart from the three emperors, queens and princes, who didn't fear Jin Wang Yang Guang?

After a night of rest, the team set off to march towards the center of the spring outing in the early morning of the next day.

The further you go in, the more convoys you encounter,

On the saddle embellished with precious stones, sat a few Pianpianjia young masters with long hair and a calm demeanor.

Inside the curtain of the carriage that seemed to be lifted by the wind, beautiful faces were revealed, looking around at the handsome young man passing by.

The atmosphere of the Sui Dynasty was open, women chasing men not only would not be cast aside, but would become a good story.

It's a pity that Yang Ming didn't have such a blessing, otherwise, in his capacity, the young lady who was chasing after him would be able to travel from Daxing to Jiangdu.

"Your Highnesses, we will set up camp at the foot of the mountain in front tonight. After turning over a mountain, we will find the camp of the East Palace. This is arranged by King Wei."

"Got it," Yang Ming said flatly in the carriage.

Guo Yilang's general Pang Ben was the captain of the guards next to Yang Ming. After reporting to Yang Ming, he rode behind the carriage.

Yang Hao brought a 500-man personal guard from Jiangdu, each of which was a top-notch elite soldier, including some top masters who had long been famous in the Jianghu.

On Yang Ming's side, apart from Nanny Lou who didn't know the details, there were also several mysterious masters in Daxing Jin Palace.

Safety issues are absolutely worry-free.

As for Chen Shuyi, Yang Ming always felt that she was only half-baked.

Just as the convoy passed through a plain area full of tents, a piercing loud noise rang in the ears.

Immediately afterwards, the carriage where Yang Ming was in was shaken and tilted to the right.

"presumptuous!"

"Bold!"

When the incident happened suddenly, Pang Ben yelled violently, and immediately led a group of people and galloped towards the camp on the right side. Then, there were bursts of roaring and cursing from there.

The chaos here immediately attracted the attention of the people around, and people turned their attention to the place where the incident happened.

When they saw that the carriage with the broken axle was surrounded by imperial guards, they knew that today's event was going to be full of excitement.

Xu Jing knelt on the side of the carriage for the first time, and Chen Shuyi helped Yang Ming and the three stepped on his back to get off the carriage.
"What's going on?" Yang Hao said coldly behind him with a gloomy face.

A middle-aged man with a handsome appearance handed over his palm, and there was an iron stone in the palm:
"The shot came from the direction of the camp, and it was very powerful. The person who threw the stone had extremely strong arms."

"What are you guys doing? You didn't even notice the sneak attack?" Yang Hao was clearly furious. After all, someone broke the axle under the watchful eyes of everyone, and Prince Jin's mansion would lose face.

"It's my subordinate's dereliction of duty," Zhang Mu hastily pleaded guilty.

In fact, the speed of that iron stone was only between lightning and flint. By the time Zhang Mu and his team discovered it, it was already too late.

Pang Ben was not ambiguous at all, and directly led the imperial army to surround the crowd on the other side of the camp, like driving pigs back to the pen, and brought them in front of Yang Ming and the others.

If something happened to Yang Ming, he would be the first to lose his head, and Pang Ben belonged to the imperial guards, so he dared to arrest anyone.

There were nearly a hundred people who were brought to the carriage, a few of them looked like young masters and ladies of big families, and the rest were guards and servants.

Before Yang Ming could ask a question, one of the handsome young men strode out of the crowd, raised his hand to Yang Ming and the others and said:

"It's my incompetence that surprised the cars of several His Highnesses, please forgive me."

· Yuzhang Wang Yang Hao was taken aback for a moment, as if he was surprised that the other party dared to plead guilty.

You know, breaking the axle is not just a simple startled driving, it can be regarded as a sneak attack and assassination.

"Very good, he is a man, dare to act, come and beat him to death on the spot!" Yang Hao said coldly.

"Please slow down!"

At this time, the servant behind Junwei young man hurriedly stood up and knelt down and said:
"Your Highness, my son is the left servant who shot the eldest grandson Gao Zhan. It was indeed a mistake to offend him just now, and it was definitely not intentional. Please learn from me, Your Highness."

Yang Hao was taken aback for a moment, then frowned, and looked at Yang Ming suspiciously.

What do you see me doing?Yang Ming complained in his heart: After all, you are the king of the county, you have to stand up?

Zuo Pu shot, that is Gao Jiong, the biggest official in the dynasty, the number one confidant of Empress Dugu.

If the other party was really Gao Jiong's grandson, it would definitely be impossible to beat him to death, and at most he would show a small punishment.

But in this way, it is inevitable that people will laugh at the Prince Jin Mansion: the prince's son is afraid of the minister's grandson?

Yang Ming sized Gao Zhan up and found that he looked confident. From then on, he completely understood that the Jin Palace was hated by many forces because of the conflict with the East Palace.

"Master Gao doesn't look like someone who can shoot flying stones with such force?" Yang Ming said calmly with no expression on his face.

Gao Zhan looked at his nose, his nose, and his heart. He looked fearless and didn't answer.

Instead, it was his servant who held a strangely shaped small iron bow in front of Yang Ming with both hands.
"My son and his friend used this strong bow in the stone shooting competition. The flying stone bounced off the gong, which surprised several His Highnesses. It was purely an accident. Your Highness has learned from you."

Yang Ming took the short bow and tried to pull the bowstring, but only at a very small angle.

Immediately he threw it to Pang Ben who was at the side, and the latter pulled it hard for half a month, but his face was already flushed and his neck was thick:
"It's a rare and strong bow! The bow string should be made of python tendons soaked in a special liquid medicine. It might not be as strong as twenty stones when fully drawn. (600 catties)"

Yang Ming nodded, took the short bow, and then looked at the huge gong shining golden light in the sun on the side of the camp.

Everything seemed to be exactly what the servant said, it was just an accident.

But Yang Ming remembered what his grandfather Yang Jian once said: what I fear most is accidents.

"Iron stone!"

Yang Ming took the iron stone, wrapped it on the bowstring, and then slowly drew the bow towards Gao Zhan in front of him.

Although it was only from a small angle, the corners of Gao Zhan's eyes trembled, and he stared at Yang Ming with disbelief.

For a moment, the complicated sounds around him disappeared in an instant.

The crowd seemed to hold their breath at the same time, all eyes focused on the strong bow in Yang Ming's hand.

Can he cum?

Such a strong bow, even if King Hedong is young and weak, but at such a short distance, and pointing directly at Gao Zhan's face, he can't dodge it.

Once the flying stone is hit, Gao Zhan will either die or be injured.

Yuzhang Wang Yang Hao didn't stop him, because he thought Yang Ming was just trying to scare the other party. After all, Gao Jiong was the minister of the court, the left servant, and the number one hero in the founding of the Sui Dynasty. He didn't look at the monk's face but at the Buddha's. There is no need to do absolutely.

"Whoosh!" There was a crisp sound,
The heartstrings of everyone present seemed to be broken by this voice.

Yang Hao was dumbfounded.

Followed by a horrific scream
At the critical moment, Gao Zhan's servant stepped forward and blocked his master, but was hit between the eyebrows by a flying stone shot by Yang Ming, and his skull shattered on the spot, killing him.

Gao Zhan was suddenly frightened, staggered and fell to the grass.

Yang Hao and Yang Chan stared at each other dumbfounded, they didn't expect that their very talkative younger brother would be so ruthless?
