Chapter 92 The Forbidden Tale of Lü Xiao of Wagang – Nobody Wants to Mention It
Yang Ruyi was both angry and helpless. She opened her mouth to bite Lü Xiao's finger, but Lü Xiao nimbly dodged it.
She glared at Lü Xiao and said fiercely, "Go back to your room!"
"Okay!"
Lu Xiao was overjoyed. He thought Yang Ruyi would refuse firmly, but unexpectedly she agreed.
As expected of the child's mother, she truly understands the child's father.
The two entered the room one after the other, and in broad daylight, they slammed the door shut, shutting out all the noise.
At this time, Xue Liang followed Yang Lin back to Dengzhou, but stopped when they passed Wagangzhai.
"Second brother, aren't we leaving yet?"
Yang Lin turned his head and shouted at Xue Liang.
"My fourteenth brother has become king, and I must let these snobbish bastards know that."
Xue Liang still harbors resentment over Lü Xiao being driven away by Wagangzhai.
Back then, Lü Xiao suffered injustice in Wagang Village, and as his second elder brother, he had never been able to stand up for him, so he had always harbored resentment.
Now that Lü Xiao has become powerful, he naturally wants to go to Wagang Village to show off his power and vent his anger on Lü Xiao's behalf.
"Ha, Zi Lie is a nobleman of the current dynasty, what are they compared to him?"
Yang Lin picked up his whip and lashed it at Xue Liang's mount.
Besides, even if they don't spread it, so much time has passed that the people of Wagang Village should already know.
"When my fourteenth brother condescends to come here, they'll be in for a world of hurt."
Xue Liang muttered something, thinking that he would come to Wagang to see the true colors of these people.
Yang Lin turned his head and took one last look in the direction of Wagang Village, his eyes filled with complex emotions, before riding away without hesitation.
On the battlefield, each serves their own master, so there is no deep-seated hatred between them.
Qin Qiong was too stubborn and inflexible, insisting on blindly following the Wagangzhai group.
One day, he will regret the choice he made today.
In contrast to Yang Guang's trust and reliance on Lü Xiao in the imperial court.
Inside Wagangzhai, the deep brotherhood of the past has long since vanished, leaving only the struggle for power and the estrangement between people.
Qin Qiong was no longer the leader of Wagang Village.
At this moment, a dark-skinned, short man sat in the main seat of the hall.
This man, named Li Mi, was able to become the leader of Wagang Village purely by chance.
Originally, Li Mi planned to go to Yang Xuangan to discuss the rebellion.
But who would have thought that before he could even see Yang Xuangan, Yang Xuangan was captured by a young man named Lü Xiao.
Immediately afterwards, the imperial court issued a wanted notice to arrest Yang Xuangan's accomplices.
Li Mi was horrified to discover that he was also on the wanted list.
Left with no other choice, he had to hide his identity and flee to find a safe haven.
As luck would have it, when passing by Wagang Village, he was mistaken for a fat sheep and kidnapped by the village's henchmen and taken up the mountain.
Xu Maogong, Wang Bodang, and others observed that Li Mi spoke with exceptional talent and possessed a composed demeanor.
After some inquiries, I learned his true identity.
Both sides were shady characters and immediately hit it off.
Xu Maogong, Wang Bodang, and others felt that Li Mi came from a noble background, so they joined forces to elect Li Mi as the new leader of Wagang Village.
However, Li Mi was still the court's number one wanted criminal and could not reveal his identity. He could only appear as Li Bi in the stronghold.
With Xu Maogong, Wang Bodang, Qin Qiong, and others endorsing him in the stronghold, the henchmen in the stronghold also had great faith in him.
At this moment, the key figures of the village have gathered here to discuss important matters.
Qin Qiong, Xu Maogong, Wang Bodang, Wei Zheng and others were all there, but Shan Xiongxin was nowhere to be seen.
"Old Dan hasn't arrived yet. I'll go find him. You two can talk first."
Cheng Yaojin waited and waited but Shan Xiongxin didn't appear, so he walked out while talking.
After another cup of tea's time, everyone discovered that not only had Shan Xiongxin not returned, but even Cheng Yaojin had disappeared.
"This is outrageous! Shan Xiongxin has repeatedly failed to attend meetings, treating me as if I were nothing!"
The person in the hall slammed his hand on the armrest and said angrily.
"Your Majesty, please calm down." Upon seeing this, Wang Bodang quickly stood up and stepped forward to persuade him.
"Master Shan is straightforward and a rough man who has never liked to get involved in these trivial matters of discussion."
"He did not mean to slight Your Majesty; please do not blame him."
After Li Mi arrived at Wagang Village, he began to reorganize the village.
No longer just a loosely organized mountain stronghold, it is now moving towards becoming a regular army.
The villagers could no longer address each other as brothers as they used to; instead, they were given official positions and a strict hierarchy.
"Forget it, let's not wait for him." Li Mi waved his hand and got down to business: "Lu Xiao has offended all the aristocratic families because of his clan record."
"I have decided to leave Wagang to find the powerful families who are dissatisfied with the Sui Dynasty and unite them."
Li Mi came from a family that had produced four generations of high-ranking officials, and was extremely familiar with powerful clans.
Once the clan chronicles were published, all the noble families hated Lü Xiao and Yang Guang.
In particular, Lü Xiao, young and impetuous, killed Zheng Ji at the victory celebration banquet.
The entire Zheng family of Xingyang hated him to the core.
The Zheng family will undoubtedly become a great asset to Wagang in the future.
Yang Guang's ambition to conquer the east remained undiminished; a second campaign against Goguryeo would mark the beginning of the Sui Dynasty's downfall.
Li Mi talked on and on until his mouth was dry, only to find that no one seemed to be listening.
In fact, as soon as Li Mi mentioned the name Lü Xiao, everyone had already forgotten what he was going to say next.
In Wagangzhai, Lü Xiao's name has long been a taboo subject and is rarely mentioned.
At this moment, Li Mi suddenly pointed it out, and everyone's thoughts were instantly pulled back to the day of the break with Wagang. Their expressions varied, and they each had their own thoughts.
As before, they still couldn't understand.
Why was Lü Xiao able to rise so rapidly in rank after leaving Wagang?
He rose through the ranks from Wagang Taibao to a Marquis in the imperial court, and was even bestowed the title of "One-Character King".
He also married a princess, becoming a true member of the royal family.
This dramatic turn of events left the people of Wagang both bewildered and resentful.
Of course, this excludes Shan Xiongxin, as well as the brothers Cheng Yaojin and You Junda.
The former stemmed from a sense of guilt towards Lü Xiao.
He was loyal and righteous his whole life, but he didn't act like a human being when he met Lü Xiao.
The latter believes that having more friends means having more options.
Cheng Yaojin, confident in his good relationship with Lü Xiao, did not take advantage of Lü Xiao's misfortune when Lü Xiao was besieged.
Moreover, Lü Xiao even gave him money when he left.
He was even unwilling to accept Lü Xiao's throne.
Even if he were to see Lü Xiao again, he could remain open and honest.
With their friendship, he will have somewhere to go when Wagang disbands.
Xu Maogong, Wang Bodang, and others, however, never hoped for Lü Xiao's well-being.
Driving Lü Xiao away was their plan; they couldn't wait for Lü Xiao to die so they could have one less enemy.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. So much time has passed, and they are still just bandits in the mountains.
Lü Xiao, on the other hand, was a member of the imperial family and a prince recognized by the court.
