After entering Taiyuan, the news spread even faster.

Li Tan has always been vigorous, tough and autocratic. After he took the throne, he ignored An Qingxu's rebels and concentrated on governing the internal affairs. Capable and talented people have already firmly grasped most of the power in just two months.

But the hidden dangers brought about by his inaction towards An Qingxu's faction finally broke out.

In late June of the second year of Zhide, Chang'an, the capital of Xijing, fell again.

Regardless of his own safety, Li Tan withdrew the elite troops of the imperial court in two groups, one group was led by himself, seemingly in a hurry, but in fact he led people purposefully to Baoding, Hebei, which had already been recovered.

The other group was led by Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi to go south, and echoed Zhang Xun, the Jiedu envoy of Henan who was guarding Suiyang, forming a siege, besieging Yin Ziqi's 12 soldiers and horses.

However, due to the lack of troops in the Tang army, the battle in Suiyang failed in the short term. On the contrary, it was because Li Tan ascended the throne during the chaos and lost Chang'an again. The central court had serious doubts, and the better ones continued to maintain a wait-and-see attitude. What's more, they directly voted for An Qingxu.

All of a sudden, Datang was in a dangerous situation again—the loss of land increased sharply, the prosperity of the past was in turmoil, and the situation seemed to be getting worse and worse, and the clouds of gloom hung over Datang.

But for ordinary people, it seems that not much has changed.After all, as early as the Battle of Tongguan, the imperial capital fell for the first time, and the people had already experienced the most difficult time in their lives.It's actually a little better now - after two years of war, they almost know how to make their lives a little better.

Correspondingly, the situation of the rebels is very good.

An Qingxu occupied Chang'an, and was immediately impressed by the majestic and prosperous Daming Palace. Regardless of the uncertainty of the world and the dissuasion of his subordinates, he took advantage of many surrender letters from all over the country to enter Beijing at this time, expanding the territory of Yan Kingdom again and again, and determinedly decided to make up a new one. A grand and luxurious enthronement ceremony.

At this time, An Qingxu was in the midst of the spring breeze, and the enthronement ceremony was naturally prepared for a very long time. On August [-]th of the second year of Zhide, the puppet Yan Emperor An Qingxu officially held the enthronement ceremony at Daming Palace in Chang'an.

The ceremony was magnificent.

However, that night, many mutinies suddenly broke out across the country-in one night, all the Jiedu envoys who descended from Yan were beheaded and killed by their subordinates for the crime of treason. loyalty.

Hearing the situation in various places, An Qingxu, who was a little swollen after the enthronement ceremony, didn't take it seriously. He calmly mobilized troops from all over the place, ready to fight against Datang without any fear.

However, that magnificent enthronement ceremony seemed to have exhausted all his luck.

In October of the second year of Zhide, soon Yin Ziqi's 12 troops in Suiyang City were pinched by both sides and could not supply food and grass. Soldiers kept fleeing overnight. Yin Ziqi struggled for several months and finally surrendered to Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi.

As if expecting him to surrender, Guo Ziyi quickly dismantled and reorganized the 12 Spike soldiers and dispersed them to various camps in Datang.

In fact, although these Spike soldiers have always taken orders from An Lushan, An Lushan has always been cautious, and before officially rebelling, he only dared to call himself a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. The reason why the people of Tang Dynasty rebelled was that apart from obeying orders, they were also bewitched by the prosperity of the south—the conditions in the north were harsh, and everyone yearned for a prosperous and peaceful life in the south.

So when they were incorporated into the Tang army, most of them listened to the command with peace of mind. After all, their logic was to serve as a soldier and get paid, no matter who paid him.

As for those ambitious assassins, Guo Ziyi also ordered people to spy on them secretly, and let them "accidentally" die on the battlefield if they were not willing to die.

The military strength of the Tang Dynasty is actually not considered weak, only the central government is weak, and Jiedushi has a lot of local soldiers under his command.

The previous Jiedu envoys either waited and watched, or were simply scumbags. Now that there has been a bloodbath, the new Jiedu envoys urgently need to be recognized by the court. You have to show your loyalty to the court.

The most direct manifestation is the crusade against An Qingxu's puppet Yan regime.

There are more people who show their loyalty, and those who wait and see naturally dare not hesitate any longer, so they can only send troops along with them.

China's officialdom has always been like this, no one can really be alone.

After the siege of Suiyang was lifted, and the Jiedu envoys from all over the country were unrestrained, Guo Ziyi led troops and quickly recovered the eastern capital Luoyang years ago.

After the New Year, Emperor Li Tan of the Tang Dynasty called for the reform of Yuan Chongguang, which was the first year of Chongguang.

After the New Year, the troops were counted. In addition to the 20 soldiers around Li Tan, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi assembled 40 soldiers to go out again.

In June of the first year of Chongguang, Guo Ziyi's soldiers approached the city of Chang'an. At this time, the Tang army had 60 people because they did not care about absorption and integration.

At this time, An Qingxu's troops were quite large, and all of them were brave and skilled Saibei generals, but the successive defeats and the vague accusations made against him by his subordinates made him lose the courage to face the enemy and fled in a hurry.

An's morale plummeted, Guo Ziyi led his troops to pursue the victory, and An Qingxu was killed by random arrows.

After receiving and rectifying the remnants of An Qingxu, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi immediately led troops to clean up Shi Siming, but they heard that Shi Siming was assassinated in the tent on the way.

Shi's rebel army had no leader, Guo Ziyi wanted to rush to Fan Yang immediately to recruit this group of troops, but he didn't want Li Tan to lead the troops to Fan Yang regardless of his own safety, and take this elite army under his command early on.

If Emperor Suzong was in power, he would not dare to take risks after thinking about it, then these troops must belong to Guo Ziyi. With armed support.

But fortunately, the current emperor is Li Tan. He has always had a deep scheming mind, and he has personally led soldiers to fight in battles and has actually been on the battlefield. It is impossible to give Guo Ziyi a chance to support his soldiers.

Now that the emperor's troops are not weak, and the local government is focused on the central government, Guo Ziyi can't think of anything else - he is thinking about his meritorious service in suppressing the rebels in this battle, and that he should have the opportunity to enjoy the honor of the Taimiao, go down in history, and glorify his ancestors.

In the first month of the second year of Chongguang, the early-recovered areas have not yet dissipated, and the Anshi Rebellion has completely ended, which lasted less than four years.

Li Tan has been on the throne for less than two years.

It's just a few words to sum it up, but for Chu Ge and the others, it's a real wait.

Although she kept saying that no matter whether the Anshi Rebellion won or not, she had nothing to lose, but in this troubled world, she still hoped that the war would end as soon as possible.

Of course, having said that, the rebels were still unable to break through this line of defense because of the Henan Jiedu Envoy Zhang Xun blocking Suiyang. Hidden Sword Villa and Changgemen were both located in the south of the Yangtze River, so it really didn't affect them much.

After Ye Guicheng and Chu Ge returned to Hidden Sword Villa from Hei Gobi, they reported to Ye Ying about Hei Gobi.

At this time, there are still many seniors in the village.After all, Ye Ying had already learned about the future history of Datang from Ye Guicheng. Although they were in the Jianghu, they also cared about the Jianghu. They got together to discuss a charter and seize this opportunity.

Ye Guicheng knew these things, and Ye Ying almost guessed that Chu Ge knew too.Although he didn't expect that Chu Ge would tell Li Tan these things, but when Li Heng passed the throne to Li Tan and the future shifted, he could also guess.Although these famous martial arts figures don't like Li Tan very much because of the Candle Dragon Palace and Nanzhao, they don't need to like those in power. It's not difficult for them to put aside their past grievances and continue to cooperate when they coldly see that he has rules. .

After Ye Guicheng came back, he also took the initiative to ask Ying for help. After all, although Ye Ying and the elders of the sect were in charge of agreeing on the plan, the specific implementation was done by the disciples.

However, Ye Ying considered Ye Guicheng's adventure, in order to protect him, so as not to cause trouble because he found out that he knew the future, Ye Ying did not let him participate in the war, but let him handle trivial matters in the village.

Ye Guicheng has always listened to his master's words, and he has no choice but to agree, and hangs around with Chu Ge when he has nothing to do.Tibetan Sword Villa is located on the bank of West Lake, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, beautiful scenery, and there are really many places to play.

Although when Chu Ge was playing the Cangjian trumpet, he basically turned around the Cangjian Villa because of the mission, but it was in the game after all, the perspective was different, and when he was doing the mission, he didn't have much time to look around carefully. The scenery, not to mention the basic 3D scenery, although most of them look good, but some places are still quite rough. For example, some buildings are completely textured, which cannot be seen at all.

But in the real world it's different.Even in modern times, Hangzhou West Lake is a rare scenic spot, and it is even more beautiful in this unpolluted ancient time. There is a native Tibetan swordman as a tour guide by his side.

Ye Guicheng took her all the way, wandering around, usually explaining relevant legendary stories to her, occasionally interspersed with some things about his childhood martial arts training.Speaking of which, the names of martial arts moves in Cangjian Villa are all taken from the beautiful scenery of West Lake, and every disciple of Cangjian has a strong sense of belonging to West Lake.In the mountains and rivers of the West Lake, there are traces of his growth everywhere - the sword marks on the stone lions by the Tiger Pao Spring are left by his hard practice of Mengquan Tiger Pao moves; I used the setting sun Lei Feng to smash a few cracks; I once sneaked out of class, and I fished and grilled with my brothers and sisters in the Jiuxi Shibajian. There is an extra dish of steamed fish; in Lingyin Temple, the incense is burning, and the bells are faintly ringing, and what can't go away is the bloody storm brought by the Shence Army and the Tianzhu monks...

The two went boating on the lake, and there was no labor boatman. Ye Guicheng punted the boat himself, stopped at a place, pointed to the moon not far away, and said that the moon was reflected in the Three Pools, and the scenery on the Mid-Autumn night was the most beautiful.

Chu Ge casually pulled the huge lotus pod protruding into the boat, peeled off the white and tender lotus seeds, and stuffed them into Ye Guicheng's mouth involuntarily.

The lotus seeds are sweet and slightly bitter, but if Chu Ge doesn't even peel the lotus heart, it will be too bitter to swallow.Ye Guicheng chewed and paused, but his expression remained unchanged, he just looked at Chu Ge with a helpless smile.

Chu Ge tilted his head: "Is it delicious?"

At this time, the sun was setting, and the afterglow cast a piece of golden light, which made Chu Ge's eyes more and more clear and bright. Ye Guicheng squinted his eyes, and suddenly leaned over, leaned his head against Chu Ge's lips, and said vaguely: "... taste……"

It's soft, as if it's a little sweet... Ye Guicheng licked Chu Ge's lips, originally he just wanted to taste it, but when his lips and teeth touched, the bitterness in his mouth seemed to turn into an intoxicating sweetness in an instant. It's as sweet as ever.

Chu Ge was taken aback by this sudden kiss, and subconsciously wanted to back away.

Ye Guicheng noticed this, so he couldn't help raising his hand, pressing her head with one hand, and wrapping around her waist with the other, trying to hug her into his arms, deepening the kiss.

Chu Ge was a little bit overwhelmed by the kiss, thinking in a daze: I seemed to hear the "plop" just now... Well, the taste of this raw lotus seed is quite good, not bitter, quite sweet...

I don't know how long they kissed, Ye Guicheng let go of Chu Ge, both of their cheeks were a little red, and they could still hear each other's heartbeat as loud as a drum.Ye Guicheng stroked Chu Ge's cheek with one hand, pressed his forehead against hers, and asked her in a low voice, "How does it taste?"

Ye Guicheng's voice was already low, but now it was hoarse again, making Chu Gesu's... It was just a normal blush, but now it was so red that it bleeds, and even his white and tender ears were stained with blush.

Ye Guicheng couldn't hold back, and laughed softly.

Although the laughter was very suave, Chu Ge didn't like this passive feeling very much. He raised his eyebrows and looked up at Ye Guicheng: "I didn't taste it just now, let's do it again!"

As he spoke, he stood on tiptoe, hugged Ye Guicheng's neck, and kissed him proactively, and stuck his tongue in like a pattern, sucking and licking indiscriminately.

Ye Guicheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and hugged her, guiding her how to kiss.

After the kiss, Chu Ge was a little panting, Ye Guicheng still refused to let her go, and asked her with a smile: "Did you taste it this time?"

Chu Ge forced himself to be serious and said, "Well, the taste is not bad."

Ye Guicheng wanted to laugh again, always feeling very happy in his heart.

Chu Ge continued: "...As expected, I peeled the lotus seeds with my own hands."

Ye Guicheng: ...

Although he was stupid when he was a child and was coaxed by his senior brother to eat lotus seeds with lotus hearts for a long time, so now he can continue to eat them quietly, but no one is stupid.Ye Guicheng quickly picked up the lotus seeds that fell on the deck, and told Chu Ge how to eat the lotus seeds.

Only then did Chu Ge know that the lotus heart was going to be removed, so he couldn't help being a little embarrassed, so he peeled off the lotus seeds again and stuffed them into Ye Guicheng's mouth.

Ye Guicheng chewed the sweet lotus seeds in his mouth, patted Chu Ge's head, looked at the sky, and was about to go back on the boat. When he turned his head, he was a little dumbfounded: "Well, Ah Chu, we have to fly back with ease... just like Accidentally threw the long pole into the water..."

Chu Ge: ...

Two days later, it happened to coincide with the Qixi Festival.

Ye Guicheng approached Chu Ge enthusiastically early in the morning, saying that he was going to Yangzhou City.

Chu Ge was puzzled: "What are you going to do in Yangzhou?"

Ye Guicheng dragged her to the pier while explaining: "Today, Yinyuan will hold an event in Yangzhou City, Qixi Festival."

After hearing Ye Guicheng's explanation, Chu Ge finally understood - there are also Qixi Festival events in this world, which is a bit like in the game. After completing a series of things, they will get a silver heart bell engraved with each other's names.However, the time is limited to today, which is simpler than the game, and there are not so many tasks. After all, it is impossible to complete all the game tasks in one day if there is no magic.But it is different from the game, in the game you can find someone or double-open trumpet to do it, but here, everyone can only have one favorite person in their life.

This task can be done up to three times, but it must be done by the same person. That is to say, if this person did it for you this year, and the two of you are divided next year, then you will never be able to do it again.

In this arena, everyone's default is that if a person asks you to do a Tanabata mission, it's not a confession, but a marriage proposal.Although not all people in the Jianghu end up with the one on the silver heart bell, but there are still many, so everyone attaches great importance to and solemnizes the task of Qixi Festival.

In addition, if you complete three tasks, Yinyuan will give special treatment to Yinxin Bell, and the name on it will never be smoothed out.

The task is not difficult, there are not many people, and everyone is not necessarily the same.Chu Ge and Ye Guicheng set off fireworks to deliver letters.

Yin Xinling got it soon, and seeing the clear small words on it, "Chu Ge and Ye Guicheng are united forever", both of them couldn't help laughing a little silly.

Ye Guicheng stroked the line of writing, and said: "Next year, next year, we will do this together, we must not let this line of writing be worn out."

Chu Ge nodded: "Of course!"
