Chapter 135: Long Sword and Green Silk (3)

Qiqi suddenly realized and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a great ability to reach the heavens and be able to retreat with your whole body." Li Bai thought for a moment and replied: "Tongtian is not a good thing, Chang'an is a master like a cloud, and the people whose martial arts are above me, if you really want to count them, you can't count them with two palms." As he was talking, there was a burst of light, the drums thundered, and there were more than ten sounds, and suddenly a group of people rushed out from in front of the Suzaku Gate, standing on both sides of the road, and in the middle, a group of people came. It is a bright gold sedan chair that enters the eye, carried by eight people, and the four people in front hold the imperial flag, at a glance, the scene is very magnificent.

Suddenly, a eunuch said, "The emperor has arrived." As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent for a moment and fell to their knees. Li Bai's heart sank, there were many eyes and ears in the city, and he had not allowed the guards to communicate before, but he didn't realize that this Emperor Wu was well-informed, and I hadn't entered the imperial city yet, but she had already known my whereabouts and came to greet her. After thinking about it, he looked at Qiqisi and knelt down and said, "Knock on the emperor." ”

Among the people present, except for Qiqi, everyone was terrified and did not dare to move. Qiqi was a little surprised in his heart, and he didn't know what the first empress of the Tang Dynasty looked like, so he quietly looked at the imperial sedan chair at this time.

The bright yellow sedan chair was slowly lifted, and a person was helped out of the sedan chair. When you look closely, the man is wearing a crown, a yellow robe, and an auspicious dragon pattern tattooed on his clothes. Although it was daytime at this time, her eyes were like a shallow cold moon in the dark night, which made people blurry and dare not force their eyes.

Wu Zetian waved his sleeves and said, "Flat." "Thanksgiving. Wu Zetian showed a smile on his face, and said excitedly: "Taibai, since you went to the prison of the Yellow River in danger, I have been worried about you all day long, and you have finally returned safely." ”

Li Bai said solemnly: "Thanks to Your Majesty's concern, although the Yellow River Prison is a little more dangerous, but the people in the world are in dire straits, Li Bai must do his best, regard death as home, and be fortunate not to be disgraced in the end." ”

When Wu Zetian heard this, he smiled and said: "Taibai can be literary and martial, and can be virtuous and virtuous throughout the world, and there are a few people who can be comparable to you, there are heroes like Taibai in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, I am very pleased, the world is peaceful and unified, and the people are just around the corner to live and work in peace and contentment." looked at Li Bai, and said: "I don't know what kind of official position Taibai wants, the official positions and powers of the court are all up to you." ”

Li Bai thought for a moment and said: "Li Bai is loose by nature, accompanied by poetry and wine and long swords, and he doesn't like worldly ties, I'm afraid it's not suitable." If the Tang Dynasty is in trouble in the future, Li Bai should serve the country with all his heart. ”

Wu Zetian's eyebrows frowned slightly, there seemed to be a trace of abrupt color on his face, and then he said: "Then I will give you money and stunners, a hundred acres of fertile land, and a thousand silk silks." ”

Li Bai shook his head, but said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your gift, but Your Majesty really exalts Li Bai, if these things are given to the people of Li, they should know that the grace of heaven is vast, and often think of Your Majesty's wisdom, and the people are rich and the country is rich." ”

Wu Zetian said: "Taibai is polite, but the Tang Dynasty is an enlightened and prosperous era, and it is indeed inappropriate not to reward meritorious ministers." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan. The speaker was wearing a red ink robe, about twenty years old, only Qiqi didn't know, this person was the first detective of the Tang Dynasty, Di Renjie is also.

Wu Zetian said: "Yes." Behind Di Renjie's left sleeve, he said: "Taibai is a high scholar, excellent in martial arts, and cares about the people. Since Taibai has no intention of being an official, it is difficult to be reluctant. But Your Majesty's kindness is difficult, you have no jokes, and you don't have to shirk if you are too white. I know that Taibai is attached to fine wine and wine, and His Majesty can reward him. ”

Li Bai laughed and said, "Brother Huaiying still knows my mind." Wu Zetian nodded and said, "That's good, I will follow your advice." Spread my will, so that the good brewing department allocated a hundred jars of tribute wine in the new year and gave it to Taibai. In addition, tonight Guanglu Temple held a feast, drums and music to celebrate, for Taibai to catch the wind and wash the dust. ”

Li Bai thanked him, Emperor Wu said a few words, the drum music sounded again, and the Vermilion Bird Gate was erected all the way, and then he went back to the palace. Di Renjie walked in front of Li Bai and said: "Taibai shook and retreated from the Qinling Tomb in the prison of the Yellow River, showing the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, but he is famous all over the world. ”

When Li Bai heard him talk about Qinling, he was shocked and replied: "Brother Huaiying, don't praise me anymore." Di Renjie turned around, closed his eyes and said: "Chang'an seems to be peaceful and stable, but in fact it is turbulent, these days I have noticed some abnormalities, and I will submit a post in a few days, inviting you to find out." However, before that, Your Majesty still has a grudge with the Demon Guide, and I believe that by then, I will fight you. ”

Li Bai said flatly: "Okay, I also want to try the real edge of the "Ruyi Divine Order". Di Renjie laughed a few times and said goodbye with his fists clenched.

Qiqi's body trembled slightly, looked at Di Renjie's distant back, and said: "This person always has a trace of cold air when he speaks, just like that emperor, which makes people feel uncomfortable." ”

Li Bai smiled: "Shhh, be quiet." Your words are disrespectful, and you will be heard, but you will be beheaded. Qiqi also smiled and replied: "This girl is not afraid, eh, by the way, what is the grudge between the magic guide and the emperor?"

Li Bai said: "It's hard to say. Qiqi smiled lightly again: "It doesn't matter if you don't say it, I'm more curious about which is stronger or weaker than that guy just now." ”
