One of the five star realm powerhouses of the Starfall Continent, the patron saint of the Great Liang Empire, and the master of the Star Palace, Su Youming, was besieged and killed by the powerhouses of the Yan Kingdom on the outskirts of Wancheng, which was destined to be a battle that was enough to be recorded in history.

But in fact, there are very few people who are qualified to know about it.

Even the Daliang Palace, which was close at hand, did not make any movement, let alone send troops to help.

The people in the garden can know that this is because this matter was originally planned by them.

But in fact, the moment the battle in the Stellar Realm officially began, this news could not be hidden.

At least I can't hide from those who stand at the top of this world.

For example, the two most prestigious women in Datang.

The capital of the Tang Empire is called Chang'an, which means long-term peace and stability, which is a very beautiful name, so the owner of this kingdom is also a very beautiful person.

Chang'an is known as the most prosperous capital of the entire Starfall Continent, whether it is the people of the other two empires, or the swordsmen of Qishan, the monks of Qiuming Temple, or the gods of Tianji Temple, they can feel the warmth of being at home here.

There are many famous attractions in Chang'an, such as the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the ancient bell tower, even if you live here for a short time, you can treasure it.

But only a few people know that in fact, at their feet, there is a magnificent underground palace.

The formation in the underground palace took more than 100 years to complete, and there were thousands of people involved in maintaining the operation of the large array every day, but unfortunately, they did not see the light of day all year round, so they naturally could not inform others of the existence of this epic palace.

This is the biggest secret of Chang'an City.

If this underground palace could see the light of day, it would surely be praised by the world as the greatest miracle in human history.

Of course, for those who know about the existence of the dungeon, they hope that this day will never come.

The day the underground palace was unveiled, it was naturally the time when Chang'an City was broken.

Perhaps from the first day of the construction of this underground palace, it was destined to never see the light of day.

Li Zhu thought with some emotion.

This is a young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old, although he is not very old, he has been living in the underground palace for nearly three years.

Li Zhu's surname is Li, which is nonsense.

But at the same time, the surname Li is also the most honorable surname in the Tang Empire.

Because the Tang Emperor is also surnamed Li.

It's just a pity that Li Zhu has nothing to do with it, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed in this dark underground palace until he died.

A person like Li Zhu, who was in charge of maintaining the Great Array of the Underground Palace, from the moment he came in, had only one possibility if he wanted to leave here.

Death.

Li Zhu is still young, so the rest of his life is still very long, and the thought of living in this dark palace for decades is originally a very desperate thing, but Li Zhu, like his predecessors, is always more proud than timid.

This is the pride of the Tang people, and at the same time, it is also the pride of the palace guards.

If one day, Chang'an is invaded by foreign enemies, and the city is in chaos, they are the last line of defense of this heroic city.

It is also the last dignity of the Tang people.

So Li Zhu never complained about his fate, on the contrary, he felt that this was his supreme glory.

As in the past, the work of the dungeon today is busy and quiet.

In the past, the palace guards were silent, just focused on completing their tasks.

Li Zhu has long been accustomed to such pictures, but the difference from usual is that everyone is a little nervous in their eyes today.

Certainly not because of the arrival of His Majesty.

In fact, in the past three years, Li Zhu has seen His Majesty come to the underground palace to inspect countless times, but as rumored by the outside world, this first empress of the ages actually has no shelf, on the contrary, His Majesty has always been a very amiable person.

"Your Majesty knows my name and touched my head!" Li Zhu thought.

Indeed, as the king of a country, the female emperor of the Tang Dynasty can remember the name of every underground palace guard, which is really a bit incredible.

As for saying that like the elders do to the juniors, touching his head and encouraging him can almost be regarded as the peak moment of Li Zhu's life.

"It's hard to be a palace guard at such a young age. ”

"Serve the Empire, never die!"

This is the conversation between Li Zhu and Tang Huang on that day.

Although for Emperor Tang, he may just think that this little guy is very pleasing to the eye and cares about it, but for Li Zhu, it is definitely a great joy for the ancestral tomb to smoke.

Since that day, the eyes of the rest of the palace guards looking at Li Zhu have become more envious for no reason.

made Li Zhu stunned for two months.

Although there is not so much intrigue and deceit in the underground palace, it is inevitable to show off in the young man's heart.

Therefore, Li Zhu also knew that the reason why everyone behaved so cautiously today was definitely not because of the arrival of His Majesty, but because of another person.

Li Zhu had never seen that person, but he had heard of who she was, and he knew that the female devil had come once when the foundation was laid in the underground palace, and a palace guard had his eyes gouged out, and an arm and leg had been cut off because he looked up at her more, and now he could only wait for death in the darkest and damp obscure hall of the underground palace.

Li Zhu didn't understand, why would His Majesty tolerate the existence of such a cruel female devil, and he didn't understand, why did such a person become the banner of the Tang Dynasty?

This person, of course, is the Pavilion Master of Kuixing Pavilion, Ling Cao.

Today is the first visit of the Ling Pavilion Lord since the foundation of the underground palace was laid, and the reason is unknown.

But this time, the female devil came with His Majesty, so she must not dare to be too presumptuous.

Li Zhu comforted himself silently.

After all, it has been arranged from above, and he will go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to serve tea later.

In the past, this was of course a very happy job, but today, because of the arrival of the Ling Pavilion Master, this has become a drudgery that everyone avoids.

From this point of view, Li Zhu's luck is really not good.

About half an hour later, Li Zhu appeared at the door of the Heart Cultivation Hall with a white porcelain tray, and the guards in front of the door opened the door silently, and one of them kindly reminded: "Lower your head." ”

Thinking of the rumor that "he looked at her more in the crowd", Li Zhu's heart suddenly trembled, whispered his thanks, and then buried his head.

Fortunately, Li Zhu was very familiar with the structure in the Heart Cultivation Palace, so even if he could only look down at the ground, he did not go in the wrong direction, and soon came to the jade table, and saw the pair of jade feet with bright red nails and a strange but deadly aura.

Li Zhu's breathing suddenly became two points shorter, he quickly raised his gaze two inches, and then put a tea set on the tray on the table.

According to past experience, at this time, Li Zhu didn't need to say anything, and he didn't have to do anything, he could just turn around and leave.

But someone stopped him.

"This little guy looks very tender, raise his head and let my sister take a look?"

Hearing this, Li Zhu's whole body suddenly trembled slightly as if he had been struck by lightning, but he didn't dare to disobey the other party's wishes, so he could only slowly raise his head and show a smile that was even uglier than crying.

Seeing Li Zhu's appearance, the "female devil" seemed to be very satisfied, and couldn't help but smile and said to the woman next to her: "Sister, this little guy gave it to me, okay?"

Hearing this, Li Zhu's legs suddenly trembled even more, and his eyes were full of begging when he looked at the woman next to him.

In the sky and on the ground, only she can save Li Zhu's life.

Although she does not wear a phoenix crown or hold a scepter, no one can deny that she is the most powerful woman in the entire Tang Empire.

There was a phoenix hairpin in her hair, and she was not wearing a yellow robe, but a red shirt, and her graceful and luxurious face was not angry and arrogant, but it seemed to have a smile that looked down on the world.

She is the Tang Emperor, Li Xiurong.

And the female devil who is qualified to sit and drink tea with the Tang Emperor, and even call him "sister", is naturally the master of Kuixing Pavilion, Ling Cao.

Hearing Ling Cao's request at this time, Li Xiurong just smiled lightly and said, "He is a palace guard." ”

The people who can appear in the underground palace today, in addition to Li Xiurong and Ling Cao, and the guards they each bring, of course, are only the thousands of palace guards.

So it's nonsense.

But how could Lee so-young say a word of nonsense at such a time?

So what she means is that Li Zhu is her person.

When the words fell, Ling Cao's beautiful pair was lightly picked, and he also smiled: "Sister is really stingy." ”

With that, Ling Cao picked up the teacup and drank it gently, as if nothing had happened just now.

Li Xiurong didn't speak, just glanced at Li Zhu.

It was this glance that made Li Zhu feel the happiness of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, he lowered his head again, did not dare to linger any longer, turned around and walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Not to mention how many nightmares Li Zhu will have in the future because of what he encountered today, and whether he will hang the statue of His Majesty on the head of his bed to worship day and night, in short, next, a conversation that is enough to decide the future of the entire Starfall Continent begins.

Both sides of the conversation were women, but no one dared to belittle them because of their gender.

Maybe there were, but those people died.

Now, the will of the two of them represents the will of Datang.

"Daliang has always been good friends with my country, and if he doesn't save it this time, it seems unreasonable. Li Xiurong was the first to speak.

However, in this regard, Ling Cao smiled disappreciatively: "Last time in the territory of Dayan, I had already taken the risk to save him once, and the favor from many years ago has been paid off. ”

Li Xiurong nodded, and then said: "So the crux of the matter is, is this battle a charcoal in the snow, or is it the icing on the cake?"

Hearing this, the cold color between Ling Cao's eyebrows became stronger, and she shook her head and said, "I don't know what the situation is on Su Youming's side, but judging from the last contact, he was indeed seriously injured. ”

Li Xiurong took out a astrolabe from his sleeve and said in a deep voice: "A few months ago, during the battle of the Great Liang Moon Shadow Secret Realm, I saw Ziwei committing a greedy wolf, but the final result was contrary to my prediction, and the chaos did not occur. ”

Ling Cao nodded and said, "I also calculated afterwards that the problem was with a disciple of the Ling Sword Sect. ”

Li Xiurong stretched out his hand and gently flicked it on the astrolabe, and a lifelike portrait immediately appeared on it.

"His name is Luo Chuan. ”
