subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Although Yang Xingmi didn't say anything, Zhu Wen clearly saw a trace of loneliness and sadness in his eyes. He had an ambition but couldn't realize it. How could he not have a little bit of resentment?

After Yang Xingmi withdrew, Zhu Wen also found an excuse to say goodbye to Huang Chao.

"Second Senior Brother!" Zhu Wen called to stop Yang Xingmi who was about to mount his horse.

Yang Xingmi looked back in astonishment, seeing that it was Zhu Wen, he felt a little surprised, and said, "Will Junior Brother Zhu accompany Brother Yu for a walk?"

Zhu Wen smiled and said, "My little brother has exactly that intention."

The two most powerful heroes in the late Tang Dynasty looked at each other and smiled, as if they had a sense of sympathy.

The two rode their horses out of the city, and the horses galloped. Luyi County belongs to the plain area. Due to the many gaps in the Yellow River, countless yellow sand and ravines were left on this plain, and piles of sand and ravines were piled up on this flat land. Small mound.

The two rode their horses up a small mound. Yang Xingmi reined in his horse, looked at Zhu Wen, and said, "Brother Zhu is a hero in both literary and martial arts. Or maybe he didn't want to offend Monk Meng Kai and Rang."

Zhu Wen said humbly: "My little brother was born in a poor family and has been stubborn since he was a child. He is not a hero, but he cooks better than others, hehe."

"Junior Brother Zhu is too modest." Yang Xingmi dismounted from his horse, bent down from the small mound, and was speechless for a long time.

Looking at Yang Xingmi's tall and generous back, Zhu Wen was filled with emotion. He could understand Yang Xingmi's mood.It's no wonder that you feel bad when you are not recognized for your ability to stabilize the country.

After a long time, Yang Xingmi turned around suddenly, with a trace of excitement that couldn't be concealed on his face, Yang Xingmi said slowly: "Mr. Zhu, would you like to join hands with Brother Yu to take over the world?" His voice was flat, as if he was talking about something that was very common Things, but his eyes showed his excitement.

Zhu Wen said in his heart: Yang Xingmi is really ambitious!This person is thoughtful and thoughtful, and his intelligence and martial arts are few in the world. In the future, he will sit on the rich land of Jianghuai and become one of the largest military forces in the late Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Wen was thinking about something on his mind, and said: "Little brother is just a nobody, what can he do? There are countless generals in the rebel army. Even if it is to take the world, only the master can do it. Where is it your turn?"

Yang Xingmi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Master, he is ten times smarter than me in martial arts, but Master's temperament is not suitable for being the hegemon of the world, and it is more than enough to rule the roost in the green forest. He is good at everything, but he takes the word 'righteousness' too seriously." Yes. We are a rebel army now, not a bunch of green forest heroes, and it is obviously not feasible to deal with things like before in the Jianghu. I have persuaded Master many times, but he just can’t see it through, alas..." After finishing speaking, he let out a long sigh .

"The word 'righteousness' is a noble virtue possessed by our sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, but once it becomes a pattern and a bondage, it is difficult to break." Zhu Wen echoed.

Yang Xingmi sneered and said, "But fighting for world hegemony is not a matter of gratification in the Jianghu. If you want to fight for world hegemony, you have to give up the old tricks in the Jianghu. If not, no matter how many troops you give, it will still be futile." He suddenly raised his head , staring at Zhu Wen's eyes, and said word by word: "If you and I join forces, the world of Tang Dynasty will be at your fingertips!"

Zhu Wen secretly sighed in his heart, this second senior brother is good at everything, but the heart of skill is too heavy.Zhu Wen shook his head and said: "It's not as simple as you think. Now that the world is in chaos, heroes can be seen everywhere, are you alone? What's more, 'the world must be divided for a long time', and the world is peaceful for a long time. It’s not something that can be settled down in a short time.”

Yang Xingmi's eyes sparkled, and he said proudly: "Even if I use my whole life's efforts to exchange for the peace of the people of the world, I am willing, even if I lose my life for it, I will not hesitate."

Zhu Wen looked at Yang Xingmi in front of him, and his opinion of him had changed slightly. He thought Yang Xingmi was a utilitarian person, but Zhu Wen could see from his eyes that his words were definitely not against his will. Word. "For the sake of the peace of the people in the world, do I have to work hard?" Zhu Wen thought in his heart.

No one knows better than Zhu Wen that it is impossible for Huang Chao to win the world. For those who have lived in the 21st century, as long as they have a little knowledge of history, they will know that Huang Chao died in the Wolf and Tiger Valley after his defeat.But Yang Xingmi can see this from Huang Chao's character and words and deeds alone, so he has to be said to be a character.

Zhu Wen said: "Brother Yang, I admire your arrogance and hope that one day you can realize your dream, but please don't forget your promise. If one day you have the power to control the fate of the world, please remember today." In this sentence, we must treat the people kindly.”

Zhu Wen said this because he knew that Yang Xingmi would one day become the overlord and own the entire Jianghuai area.Therefore, by reminding Yang Xingmi in advance, he also begged for the tens of millions of people in the Jianghuai area.But Yang Xingmi, who was canonized by the imperial court as Queen Wu, treated the people in the Jianghuai area very kindly. During his lifetime, he encouraged farming and developed production, so that the people in Jianghuai area who had been baptized by wars could live a stable life.This is something for later, let's not mention it for now.

Yang Xingmi said: "I hope we will still be friends at that time. If you are a person like you who can defeat Zeng Yuanyu's 1000 elite without losing a single soldier with only [-] people, whoever has you Such an enemy is undoubtedly digging his own grave."

Zhu Wen smiled bitterly: "Where is it so mysterious as you said?"

Yang Xingmi half-jokingly said: "If one day I have the qualifications to fight for world hegemony, you will be the first person I will get rid of."

Zhu Wen smiled and said, "I hope one day will come later, because how many more years do I have to live?"

Suddenly, Zhu Wen, who was talking and laughing, felt a breeze hit his body, and a bright sword light flashed in front of Zhu Wen's eyes quickly.

Zhu Wen took a closer look and found that the person holding the sword was none other than the second senior brother Yang Xingmi.
