Chapter 2: A stick that reaches the sky and penetrates the earth, a knife that pierces the void!

“This stick!”

"It's the Dragon Prisoner Rod of King Kaoshan!"

"It's him!"

"Oh my god, someone really broke into the palace!"

There were exclamations in the field!

And in Daxing Central.

The sky above the palace.

The shocking shadow of the stick has become larger and larger, and even slowly condensed into substance.

The terrifying momentum swept down like a raging wave.

"It's King Yang Lin. It's no longer possible to assassinate the tyrant. Retreat quickly!"

A cry of surprise quickly came from below.

Then several figures in black dispersed and rushed away in all directions.

In those days, the Sui Dynasty was in power and wiped out all the other kingdoms.

In addition to relying on the wisdom of the founding emperor Yang Jian.

There is also the help of many unparalleled talents.

These are the Nine Elders of the Sui Dynasty, who are often mentioned in the Sui Dynasty today.

Each of these nine characters is a man of both civil and military talents.

Several of them can even be described as unique.

It's just that times have changed.

Decades pass.

Most of the nine elders who founded the Sui Dynasty are no longer alive, and only a few are still alive.

Yang Lin, the King of Backers, is the most representative one among them.

This younger brother of Yang Jian, when the Sui Dynasty was founded, conquered almost the entire world with a dragon-imprisoning stick and made great military achievements.

Until now.

He is the undisputed number one figure in the army and a pillar of support for the Sui Dynasty.

Below!

Several assassins in black fled in all directions.

But Yang Lin in the dark still did not show up.

Accompanied by a disdainful snort in the void.

The huge shadow of the stick fell down with a loud bang.

From a distance, it looked like the pillars of heaven were collapsing.

The entire void was shaking.

The scattered men in black didn't even have time to make a sound as they were drowned out by the shadows of the sticks.

"Ah! Old thief Yang Lin!"

Outside the palace!

A certain figure looked at this scene and let out a shrill roar.

However, the man's voice had just fallen and he hadn't had time to utter a second word.

The space on his left was suddenly torn apart.

A dark blade light suddenly shot out!

The man didn't even have time to make any expression before he was torn into pieces by the knife.

After a moment.

The void returned to normal.

All that was left in the distance was a mutilated corpse and an old voice.

"How dare you, a clown, bark like that in Daxing!"

The shadow of the stick disappeared and the light of the knife disappeared.

The entire Daxing quickly returned to normal!
It was as if the shock that had just occurred to the entire city had never happened.

But for those in the city who witnessed everything, it was obviously impossible for them to calm down so easily.

This storm was short-lived.

But the information revealed is shocking enough.

Yang Lin, the King of Backers!
This is a figure who has dominated the Sui Dynasty for decades.

In the past, he always led troops outside.

Unexpectedly, he returned to Daxing quietly.

And those assassins just now.

The art of chess and swordplay obviously originated from Fu Cailin of Goryeo.

Yang Lin returned and was assassinated by Gao Li.

Combined with the frequent appearance of brave and capable troops in recent days.

Those who were a little quicker to react had an idea in mind.

There will be big moves in the Sui Dynasty court.

Something big is going to happen.

Of course.

These are the many people who care about the situation in the court and the world.

There are even more people who don’t actually care about these things.

Their focus was still on the battle that they had just caught a glimpse of.

The strength displayed by Yang Lin can definitely be described as terrifying.

This is what attracts the most attention of those warriors.

As for this King of Patrons, few people don't know his name.

However, Yang Lin’s most active time was undoubtedly when the country was first established.

Over the years, as the Sui Dynasty gradually stabilized and as I grew older.

Yang Lin rarely actually takes action now.

Therefore, many people in the world today don’t actually know very well about this King of Backers.

"King of Patrons, I never thought I would have the chance to see him take action today."

"Haha, King Kaoshan is indeed still strong despite his old age!"

Many people roared excitedly.

“I didn’t expect that this legendary King of Patrons would have such strength.”

"Yes, but according to legend, isn't it the way of the soldier that King Kaoshan follows?"

"How come it's so powerful?"

Some people are confused.

"A frog in the well!" The person next to him immediately sneered.

"Military Dao, Martial Dao, Confucian Dao, etc., which one of them, if it reaches the peak, it will be earth-shattering? Do you think that only people who practice martial arts like you have the strength? Ridiculous!"

In Daxing City, there was a commotion because of what had just happened.

But the imperial palace, which was the center of the incident, seemed extremely peaceful.

But at this time.

In a hall in the center of the Sui Imperial Palace.

Several figures were sitting here.

If there is someone familiar with the Sui Dynasty here, he will definitely recognize it.

Those who sit here are all important figures in the court of the Sui Dynasty.

The young man sitting at the top and wearing a dragon robe is the current Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty.

On the lower left side, there sits a white-haired old man wearing armor.

"Thank you for your hard work, uncle!"

The old man waved his hand:
"They are just a few worthless brats. Although I am old, I am still not to the point where I can't lift the stick!"

"If Fu Cailin comes in person, it will be quite interesting."

Obviously, this old man was none other than Yang Lin, the famous King of Patronage of the Sui Dynasty.

"Uncle Emperor is still strong despite his old age! It is a blessing for our Great Sui Dynasty."

Yang Guang spoke with a smile.

"King Kaoshan's expectations are doomed to never come true. Fu Cailin is responsible for the fate of Goryeo. He will not take risks easily."

Another old man spoke.

"That's right, but with Goryeo's move, it seems they are already on guard." Another voice sounded.

"We are prepared for defense. We did not conceal our troop deployment, and it was impossible to hide it from anyone."

Yang Lin spoke in a deep voice:
"Besides, Goryeo is just a small country, and there is no need for our Great Sui to be sneaky."

"In recent years, Goryeo has repeatedly violated our borders. If we don't remove this thorn, the Sui Dynasty will not be able to fight against the enemies in the northwest."

"Since we are going to mobilize troops, let's do it in a big way and wipe them out in one go."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around nodded.

"King Kaoshan is right! But the commander of the army..."

The man on the right said, "Your Majesty, it is absolutely not feasible to lead the army in person. Please withdraw your order."

Hearing this, Yang Guang's face darkened and he quickly turned to look at Yang Lin with anticipation in his eyes.

Yang Lin seemed to understand what the other party meant. He shook his head slightly and glanced in a certain direction.

Yang Guang suddenly slumped down on the dragon throne like a deflated ball.

"Well, let's discuss who will lead the troops, my dear ministers."

Seeing this, few people didn't care.

After a moment, Yang Lin spoke slowly.

"The commander-in-chief's matter is easy to talk about. Although it is inappropriate for Your Majesty to lead the army in person, it also reminds me of something."

"Most of the Sui army nowadays are a bunch of old bones. Those brave generals and gods of war in the past are either dead or old."

"Although I am still healthy, I can't fight for many more years."

"So I suggest that we bring more young people with us on this trip to Goryeo!"

"I wonder if there are any talented people among the younger generation of the Sui Dynasty's military who are worth cultivating."

"King Kaoshan is right!"

The crowd below quickly agreed.

"Speaking of the younger generation in the army, Yang Xuangan, the son of the late Lord Yue, is quite good."

"Yang Su's son?" Yang Lin raised his eyebrows.

"By the way, it seems that Han Qinhu, the Duke of Shouguang County, also has a nephew named Li Yaoshi." Another person spoke up.

Yang Lin nodded. Yang Su and Han Qinhu were both among the nine elders and had both passed away.

"Everyone, think about it. If there are any outstanding young people, they can report to me in the next few days."

"Since we have made the decision, let's just use Goryeo as a training ground. With a few old men like us in charge, I don't think Goryeo will be able to cause any trouble."

Everyone nodded to show that they understood, and then stood up and bowed.

That's when.

An old man in black sitting in the corner suddenly spoke.

"Add one more, bring the Gao family along!"

Yang Lin was obviously stunned when he heard this, and then he slowly nodded after a moment.
