The ace special forces who dominated the Sui dynasty's late period

  "Wait!" Xu Tingfu was about to go out and pass on the edict, but Yang Guang said again, "Go take a look first, how's it going with persuading them over there?"

  Xu Tingfu responded with a promise and hastily walked out, soon running back to frown and say: "Reporting to the Emperor, Shi Huiniang only begged for a quick death."

  Yang Guang pondered: "If we can capture her parents, we may be able to force her to surrender. Killing her would indeed be a waste, but not killing her..."

  Xu Tingfu's mouth curled up in a sly smile as he leaned into Yang Guang's ear and whispered, "The imperial slave has a plan, guaranteed to make the emperor extremely pleased."

  "Oh, come on!"

  "Tai Fu Shao Qing He Dun and He Da Ren presented a chariot the other day, which can be driven by a young girl. The Emperor has not tried it yet, why not..."

  Yang Guang was overjoyed and said: "If it weren't for your reminder, I would have almost forgotten. Hurry up and order someone to bring the Ruyi chariot over!"

  In the Jingming Courtyard, Liu Ziqiu stuck to the side of the door and listened carefully, without making a single sound. The two palace maids sleeping in the outer room were each slapped by him and didn't wake up for some time. The only thing that could reveal his whereabouts was the water mark on the ground, as he had entered the West Garden through the Luo River. Fortunately, Wang Guizhi was introverted and liked quietness, not fond of socializing with people. She chose this small lakeside building in the most secluded part of the Jingming Courtyard, so the other beauties wouldn't come here even if they weren't summoned.

  Liu Ziqiu was certain that no one had discovered him, and he quickly returned to the bedside, reached out to feel Wang Guizhi's breath, and was shocked to find that she wasn't breathing!

  As for the severity of her own blow, Liu Ziqiu was very confident. The palm just now could only make Wang Guizhi briefly faint, but it was not fatal. This is not the time to investigate the cause, and we must first save Wang Guizhi.

  Liu Ziqiu pinched Wang Guizhi's nose, took a deep breath and blew it into her mouth, then pressed down on her chest. The red lips were soft and warm, the twin peaks were full and erect, with a faint scent of fragrance that seemed to exist but not exist. Although Liu Ziqiu was not a novice, he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, so he quickly concentrated his energy and pressed down.

  After repeating several times, I finally heard a "gulp" in Wang Guizhi's throat.

  Liu Ziqiu understood that she was because of sudden bad news, rapid fire attack, phlegm blocking her orifices. Liu Ziqiu did not dare to hesitate, hurriedly helped her sit up, secretly exerting strength, and slapped her back with a palm.

  Wang Guizhi spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, turned her head and looked at Liu Ziqiu with a dazed expression, muttering: "Tell me, this isn't true!"

  Liu Ziqiu turned her around, staring into her eyes and said seriously: "I absolutely did not tell a single lie, and I have already found out that the murderer is Xu Tingfu!"

  It was just Liu Ziqiu's guess. Luoyang is the eastern capital, and the security in the city has always been good, with few thieves and robbers, let alone murders and arson. If someone had their eyes on that 500 taels of silver, it might be possible to commit a robbery or murder, but not to the extent of burning down the wine shop. Only Xu Tingfu could do something like destroying evidence.

  "Wow......" Wang Guizhi opened her mouth and cried, tears streaming down her face.

  Liu Ziqiu hastily stretched out his hand to cover her mouth, but a sharp pain pierced through.

  After a long time, Wang Guizhi opened her mouth and said in a low voice: "I can tell you where the emperor is, but you must promise me one thing!"

  "Speak!" Liu Ziqiu pulled out his left hand and shook it vigorously several times. Two rows of fine tooth marks appeared on the palm, with a few drops of blood seeping out.

  "Kill Xu Tingfu and avenge my father!"

  Wang Guizhi lost her mother at a young age and was raised by Wang Xiaoting with great care, resulting in a deep father-daughter bond. If not for the sake of showing filial piety to her father, she wouldn't have been able to tolerate any of the customers who filled the restaurant all these years. She could have easily married into a wealthy family's son and enjoyed a life of luxury long ago.

  In the palace these days, Wang Guizhi already knew that Xu Tingfu was Yang Guang's favorite minister. Even if she could get Yang Guang's favor, it would be difficult to say whether she could overthrow Xu Tingfu, let alone not knowing when Yang Guang would come to Jingming Hall.

  This unknown big man in front of him, who can appear silently and unnoticed here, must have extraordinary abilities that ordinary people cannot match. Wang Guizhi has already placed her hope for revenge on Liu Ziqiu.

  "Alright! I'll grant you that!" Liu Ziqiu had a principle of never killing the innocent, but Xu Tingfu was apparently not in this category.

  Wang Guizhi also kept staring at Liu Ziqiu's eyes, without seeing a hint of hesitation, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, saying: "The Emperor is in the Qinyin Temple."

  "Qie Yin Yard? Where is it?"

  The name of Wuhu Shiliuyuan was just taken by Yang Guang today, and the plaque at the door has not been installed yet. Moreover, there was no indication in the drawings Liu Ziqiu saw that day.

  Wang Guizhi pushed open the window and pointed at the brightly lit building across the Longqu Canal, saying: "Look, it's over there."

  "It was actually the Fifteenth Courtyard." The map of Xiyuan had long been etched in Liu Ziqiu's mind, he nodded and said, "Thanks! I'll go!"

  "Wait." Wang Guizhi suddenly stopped him and asked in a daze, "What did you do to me?"

  "Don't worry, I didn't do anything."

  After finishing speaking, Liu Ziqiu had already disappeared into the night.

  Wang Guizhi gently touched her chest, where a dull pain and a faint chill lingered. She had been asleep, wearing only a thin undershirt on top, but now it was soaked through, with water droplets even clinging to her face.

  Lifting the belly cover, on the snow-white quilt, two large palm prints were clearly visible. Wang Guizhi couldn't help but mutter softly: "It turns out you're also a scoundrel!"

  After scolding, he looked out of the window and sighed faintly.

  In the waterside pavilion of Guiyin Temple, Yang Guang had already become impatient when he saw Xu Tingfang leading an official to come in. According to the laws of Sui Dynasty, only slaves and convicts needed to perform the ritual of kneeling and bowing. However, that official did the same as Xu Tingfang, performing three bows and nine knocks, saying loudly: "Your subject He Zou pays homage to Your Majesty, long live, long live, forever long live!"

  "Alright, alright, get up." Yang Guang waved his hand impatiently and asked, "He Dou, where is your carriage?"

  He Da quickly got up, clapped his hands and said: "Quickly, bring it in!"

  Eight little eunuchs carried in four large chests.

  Yang Guang exclaimed in surprise: "Is this really the chariot of good fortune?"

  He Dong hastily replied: "To answer Your Majesty, these boxes contain components of the Ruyi chariot, which still need to be assembled."

  To make the chariot, He Zong devoted all his thoughts to it. He didn't want his credit to go to someone else's hands, so he only sent the parts into the palace and needed to assemble them himself. However, after he finished making it, Yang Guang went on a northern tour and hadn't returned yet, so there was no chance for him to show it off.

  If Yang Guang still had the interest to watch him slowly perform in normal times, today he was already impatient and couldn't bear it, where did he have half a bit of patience? He couldn't help but scold: "Then what are you waiting for? If it's not as magical as you said, be careful with your head!"

  He Da Jing was shocked and hastily ordered the little eunuch: "Quickly, quickly, open the box!"

  He didn't look impressive, but he was born with a pair of clever hands. The dozens of components of various sizes in the four boxes were like toys to him, and after some quick assembly, a strange-looking object appeared before Yang Guang's eyes.

  Yang Guang circled around it for half a day and asked: "Is this thing really as useful as you said?"

  He Daode smiled and said: "To report to Your Majesty, this carriage is small but has endless wonders. There are three mechanisms on the carriage. Let the woman sit in the carriage and pull the first mechanism, she can lock her hands and feet, making it impossible for her to move, and Your Majesty can do whatever you want. Pulling the second mechanism, the carriage will shake automatically, and Your Majesty can enjoy the woman without exerting any effort."

  "Oh, is it really so wonderful?" Yang Guang's face lit up with joy, and he asked eagerly, "What about the third mechanism?"

  He Dongzhen said: "When the third mechanism is triggered, the car top drops down with a silk awning and a gauze net. The net is full of jade pieces and golden bells. When the car shakes, the bell sounds crisp, and the laughter inside the awning, even if it's close by, can't be heard."

  "The imperial edict is hereby announced: He Aiqing's loyalty is commendable, and he is awarded a thousand taels of white silver!" Yang Guang burst out laughing and said, "I was just about to show all the beauties the wonders of this carriage. But it seems that the third mechanism won't be needed after all. Come on, people, quickly send this carriage in!"

  Although He Dong received the reward, he did not leave immediately. Yang Guang was in a good mood at the time and it would have been inconvenient for him to follow up, but as a conscientious person, he stayed behind to find out if Yang Guang had any new requirements after using it, so that he could go back and continue to improve.

  This car is not large, just enough for one person to lie down, but it is extremely heavy. Because it was considered a gift to the emperor, He Dun carefully selected the materials, all of which were high-quality hardwoods transported from the south, and the mechanisms were cast with fine copper. Eight small eunuchs carried this car, and they were so tired that they panted heavily.

  In the small building, Xie Xiang was still persuading Gao Xiuer with beautiful words. Everyone spoke until their mouths were dry and tongues parched, but Gao Xiuer just ignored them.

  Suddenly, an imperial maid loudly announced: "The Emperor has arrived!"

  Xie Xiang hurriedly abandoned Gao Xiuer and led a group of beauties to the gate to welcome him.

  Yang Guang beamed with joy, pulling Xie Xiang's hand and saying: "My lady, please get up. I have brought you a wonderful gift!"

  Several eunuchs carried the rickshaw into the building. Xie Xiang and others surrounded it, looking at it for half a day, and asked one after another: "Your Majesty, what is this thing?"

  Yang Guang deliberately showed off in front of the Americans, waved his hand and said: "Quickly, bring Shi Hui Niang over!"

  Xie Xiang was shocked, and quickly knelt down on the ground, knocking his head and said: "Please Your Majesty have mercy, considering Shi Hui Niang is young and ignorant, spare her life!"

  Yuan Ziyen and the other beauties also joined in unison to plead for Gao Xiuer.

  Yang Guang smiled and said: "Everyone can rest assured, I am not willing to kill her yet!"

  As they spoke, Gao Xiuer was already carried out by several eunuchs and placed on a cart. Before she could understand what was happening, Yang Guang lightly pulled the mechanism, and suddenly several copper rings popped out from the cart, firmly locking her hands and feet in place. Gao Xiuer tried to struggle, but couldn't move an inch. On the contrary, as the mechanism turned, her legs were slowly spread apart, and she became a human "big" character.

  Gao Xiuer suddenly thought of a terrible thing and finally became afraid, tremblingly asking: "Hun Jun, what are you going to do?"

  "What do I want to do, don't you know yet?" Yang Guang admired the beautiful prey in front of him and praised, "Indeed a little beauty. Don't worry, I will definitely send you to the clouds."

  Gao Xiuer panicked, her eyes brimming with tears, and shouted: "You despicable ruler, you'll never succeed!"

  Yang Guang sneered: "I'm afraid you're just talking nonsense!"
