Chapter 1: Entering the Great Tang Dynasty

In his impression, apart from a few cultured civil officials, all the merits of the Tang Dynasty were attributed to illiterate ruffians, among whom Cheng Yaojin, known as the Demon King of the World, was particularly notable

Are you Cheng Chumo

At that moment, I suddenly heard a little brat beside me exclaiming: "Mother, mother, look quickly, this uncle has also slept awkwardly, his mouth is all twisted and painful..."

Why? There is poetry to prove it: The willows sway gently, a slender waist, The mandarin ducks play in the water, embroidering their pouches. Asking where to find the flirtatious girls, Such women are the most charming.

fool

This year, the Xuanwu Gate Incident

Young man, go around Chang'an and inquire about who I, Cheng Ye, truly am. At the age of three, I deceived a princess with a fragrant pouch, and at four, I tricked a prince with a silver cake. Your methods, heh heh..." Cheng Chumo turned away in extreme disdain and swaggered off.

... ...

This year is the 9th year of the Wude era

He first engaged in a bout of flattery towards Cheng Chumo, extolling the virtues of civil and military accomplishments, then proceeded to indulge in a fanciful discussion about the state of affairs, and finally, in a roundabout way, made a definitive judgment on the generosity of Cheng Yaojin, the head of the Cheng family... His words flowed with such fervor that he became parched and saliva flew, with every statement laden with implications, hoping that Cheng Chumo would suddenly have an epiphany and then generously open his purse.

Indeed, heaven has not forsaken me; it is only right that I, Lord Han, enjoy a windfall today. Excitement gradually appeared in Han Yue's eyes

It is truly laughable that you think you can deceive me for money with such tactics

So easy to fool

"Mandarin ducks playing in the water, splendid indeed, you are the one!" Han Yue rubbed his hands together; encountering such a girl, he felt that he had already succeeded halfway.

It is difficult to get by in the Tang Dynasty

I have to take action; my stomach is growling like thunder. I haven't eaten for a full day and night.

Let us take a look at Han Yue's achievements

The people of the Tang Dynasty were not that foolish! The Cheng family, in particular, was very astute

He rolled his eyes, and in that brief moment of distraction, the little girl with the willow-like charm and a pert backside had already walked far away. A good opportunity was interrupted, and Han Yue's face flushed with anger; he prepared to give this little brat a good lesson.

His name is Han Yue

Han Yue almost stumbled and fell to his death

Han Yueqi was foaming at the mouth, nearly fainting! Is there no one in the entire Tang Dynasty who can be serious? It's one thing for a little brat not to understand what a stiff neck is, but for a strong man like you to say such things, what kind of eyes do you have?

There is nothing more to say, wielding a tongue that is three inches long, let the deception begin in earnest

Little did he know that before he could even speak, someone suddenly slapped him hard on the shoulder with enough force to kill a bull, causing his body to lean to one side.

Indeed, it is the ninth year of the Wude era! The bloodshed at Xuanwu Gate has not yet dissipated, and the smoke of battle rises again from the grasslands, as the Tang Dynasty is about to reveal its unparalleled grandeur.

"The name remains unchanged, and the surname remains unchanged. This family is indeed the Cheng family. Young man, what do you want?"

He was about to burst into a tirade when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him, and he couldn't help but say: "Wait a minute, are you by any chance surnamed Cheng?"

He is getting ready to flirt with girls

He gazed from afar at the departing figure of Cheng Chumo, that robust presence like a mountain, that commanding stride. Brother, with your physique and demeanor, why not embody the image of a chivalrous hero who generously shares wealth, instead of striving to learn some cunning and shrewdness?

Li Yuan established the Tang dynasty, with the imperial title of Wude. In the ninth year of his reign, a deadly struggle for the throne erupted between Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and Prince of Qin Li Shimin at the Xuanwu Gate in Chang'an.

Countless heroes and champions rose to prominence, totaling eighteen factions opposing the kings in the Central Plains of Zhuolu. Among them, the mercenaries led by Li Yuan and his son from Shanxi advanced relentlessly, sweeping through their path, ultimately establishing their dominance over the world and laying down a splendid territory.

"The coarse man from the Cheng family, this is truly wonderful!" Han Yue let out a sinister laugh.

The young girl has a pouch embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water hanging from her waist

Unfortunately, he was mistaken

However, the reality is

"Nonsense, in the entire city of Chang'an, besides me, Cheng Chumo, who else has such a warm heart..."

In the following year, catastrophic floods struck Shandong and Henan, submerging over forty counties. Emperor Yang of Sui, oblivious to the suffering of the common people, continued his oppressive taxation. A prominent leader of the Green Forest bandits, Wang Bo, rallied his followers and ascended Changbai Mountain, lamenting to the heavens, ultimately giving voice to the famous song "Song of Dying in the Waves of Liaodong".

In the sixth year of the Dà Yè era of the Sui Dynasty, a calamity star fell in the northwest, with flames blazing fiercely, almost threatening to burn the heavens. At that time, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui was in power, excavating canals, launching three military campaigns against Goguryeo, repairing the Great Wall in the east, and conducting two inspections of the northern deserts. His court was marked by extreme luxury and indulgence, establishing palaces and gardens throughout the Sui territory. In just seven short years, he mobilized over ten million people for corvée labor, leading to widespread suffering among the populace, and rumors began to spread that "the world perishes from labor".

Before sunset, if I can't get any money for food, I might really starve to death. Han Yue carefully walked while picking the mud off his body.

A ruffian teenager came rushing through, plunging into this magnificent era.

The brat has no knowledge at all. What is a stiff neck? I call this indulging in fantasy.

The girl's buttocks are very perky, with a seductive arc shape that could be considered criminal. However, Han Yue is not in the mood for crime right now. He is focused on the girl's waist.

The world fell into chaos...

Han Yue was left speechless, completely disoriented in the wind

According to Han Yue, Cheng Yaojin is the ultimate rogue among rogues, which means he is undoubtedly the easiest person to fool in the entire Tang Dynasty. Following this line of thought, Cheng Chumo, who inherited the glorious tradition of the Cheng family, would be an absolute scapegoat.

"Failed to swindle money, the expedition has not yet succeeded..." Han Yue let out a long sigh, his lament as mournful as that of Master Zhuge in the tent at Wuzhang Plains. At this moment, he suddenly yearned to return home

He is currently in a place called Xishi, which is the most prosperous area in Chang'an City. Looking around, one can see the bustling Chang Street and the crowds of people. There are dandies showing off, generals patrolling on horseback, wealthy merchants like Zheng Qianjin, and obedient servants. If it weren't for everyone wearing ancient clothing, Han Yue would almost think that this is a bustling commercial street in some future era.

As a newcomer, everything is unfamiliar, but Han Yue has already made up his mind to take action.

Rude person

When the big man saw Han Yue turning his head to look at him, he immediately grinned and laughed heartily, saying, "Young man, you're in luck. This morning, I just learned a unique skill to cure stiff necks. Seeing your crooked mouth, let me, Master Cheng, give it a try..."

Cheng Chumo impatiently dug his ears, casting a disdainful glance at Han Yue as if to say, "Come and see this idiot." Then, with a flick of his finger, a large piece of yellowish earwax flew out with a "whoosh".

During this year, the reign title of the Tang Dynasty has not been changed, and it still continues to use the ninth year of Emperor Li Yuan's Wu De era.

Tang Dynasty Rascal, not the kind that oppresses the righteous, but...

It is said that women of the Tang Dynasty are the most open-minded, and I did not expect to encounter a voluptuous young lady upon my arrival. I plan to showcase my eloquence, and I am certain that I will make this girl tremble with excitement, her flirtatious glances like threads. At that time, I will gain both wealth and pleasure, spending money during the day and enjoying intimate moments at night. Ahahaha, life is truly beautiful... As he thought of such seductive scenarios, he could not help but let out a couple of mischievous chuckles, feeling an itch in his heart as if it were being scratched by a cat.

He sneaked around in the crowd, his gaze gradually falling on a slender and graceful girl.

Upon turning back, holy cow, what a big man! Broad shoulders, round waist, heroic and rough.
