Tang Xiaoshu felt that Nanjiang City was already prosperous, and the environment was much better than that of the village. But when he set foot in the capital of the Tang Dynasty, he couldn't help but gasp.

Nanjiang City is said to be big, but you can also see the margins. However, the capital of the Tang Dynasty is endless, vertical and horizontal, I don't know how many miles, the wide and majestic city wall surrounds the entire capital, and the crowd of people in and out is endless, in addition to the merchants, more are monks with a strong breath.

What impressed Tang Xiaoshu the most was that above the sky in the capital, there were also small islands suspended, which were resplendent and looked like heavenly palaces.

Tang Fengjiao pointed to the suspended islands and said, "There, is the Tang Imperial City, which is the location of His Majesty the Tang King." ”

Tang Xiaoshu nodded, and there was a trace of expectation in his heart for the suspended island, not knowing what kind of scenery it would be when he stood on it.

Tang Fengjiao noticed this period, but she didn't show anything. After bringing Tang Xiaoshu to the Vermilion Bird Palace, Tang Fengjiao instructed his subordinates to take good care of him, and then went to the palace to report the affairs of the southern Xinjiang city to the Tang King.

Empress Zhao was next to King Tang, and when she learned that it was the four-winged heavenly ghost who attacked Nanjiang City, her face showed sadness again.

"Alas...... My poor nephew, if he had entered the Zhulu Academy, how could he be ...... now?"

King Tang comforted: "The queen mourns, this time it was my negligence. Nanjiang City is located on the edge of the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, and I should send even more powerful masters to garrison it. ”

He looked at Tang Fengjiao again: "Did the four-winged heavenly ghost capture it?"

Tang Fengjiao nodded: "I have been captured by the ministers." Your Majesty and the Empress want to see it?"

Empress Zhao looked at her and didn't speak, and King Tang nodded when she saw this: "It's good to take a look." ”

A ring on Tang Fengjiao's slender hand shone brightly, and then revealed the corpse of a four-winged heavenly ghost. As its name suggests, the four-winged heavenly ghost is humanoid, with four wings on its back, a green face and fangs, and claws as sharp as a blade, and its appearance is hideous and ugly. Empress Zhao seemed to be taken aback, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine is a little uncomfortable, so she will retire first." ”

Seeing this, Tang Fengjiao hurriedly took back the corpse and pleaded guilty: "The last general is abrupt and disturbs the queen, please condemn the queen." ”

Empress Zhao smiled reluctantly: "Where is the general, you have worked tirelessly to go to Nanjiang City to investigate thoroughly, and this palace should thank you." ”

"The responsibility of the last general must be to do his best. ”

Empress Zhao nodded and left here.

In the main hall, only Tang Wang and Tang Fengjiao remained.

After being silent for a long time, King Tang stared at Tang Fengjiao and said in a deep voice, "Is this the truth you found?"

Tang Fengjiao's eyes were scorching, and she greeted King Tang: "I don't know which truth Your Majesty is referring to." ”

Tang Wang's gaze suddenly became extremely deep, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his dark eyes, he didn't respond, the two just looked at each other, and after a while, he said, "You decide." ”

With that, his body suddenly turned illusory and disappeared.

Tang Fengjiao glanced at the corner of the hall and disappeared here. And just after the two left, a middle-aged woman suddenly appeared in the corner of the empty hall, she frowned, and quickly left the hall.

Fengyi Palace.

After Empress Zhao heard the personal maid's narration, her face became gloomy.

"After so many years, hasn't Your Majesty given up?"

"Niangniang, do you want someone to go to the Vermilion Bird Mansion to inquire about the news? If that person is really alive, most of them will be brought back by Tang Fengjiao. The maid proposed.

Empress Zhao said: "Hmph, of course you have to let people investigate, if it is confirmed, you must completely get rid of him before Your Majesty leaves the customs!"

Xiaohuan understood. ”

After the maid went down, Empress Zhao looked at the sea of clouds outside the palace, and her mind returned to that night seventeen years ago.

That night, she and Concubine Liu gave birth at the same time, but Concubine Liu gave birth to a ghost fetus, which alarmed the entire palace, and she Zhao Chengcheng successfully gave birth to a dragon son. Her status changed due to the arrival of the dragon son, and she was named the queen and the mother of the world. Her child, who was named the crown prince since birth, was personally taught by the Tang king.

That night, a small family in the city was wiped out, but the matter was finally settled, no one knew the reason, but Queen Zhao knew.

That night, the third lady of the Shangguan family died in childbirth, leaving a talented girl for the Shangguan family, who was regarded by the head of the family as the hope for the rise of the Shangguan family.

There were too many things that happened that night, Empress Zhao replied to her thoughts, and her eyes once again revealed a vicious color: "The things that have passed should be gone with the wind, and no one can bring up the old things again!"

......

Tang Xiaoshu looked around the courtyard curiously, and the people looked at him cautiously, once Tang Xiaoshu had any doubts, they would answer them as soon as possible. When Tang Xiaoshu said that he was thirsty, the subordinates also served him hot tea. This made Tang Xiaoshu, who was used to doing it himself, a little awkward.

Suzaku General Tang Fengjiao has been in the army since he was a child and is regarded as the god of the army. The atmosphere of the Suzaku Mansion also has a kind of military seriousness. In fact, there is a Phoenix Iron Army stationed in the Vermilion Bird Palace, and each of them is a master of the army.

And the courtyard where Tang Xiaoshu is located happens to be next door to a martial arts arena, and the sound of training in the martial arts arena can be heard. He was curious to see it, but he was afraid that these subordinates would stop him.

"Does the young master want to see the drill of the Phoenix Iron Army?" a maid saw his hesitation and asked intimately, her voice was soft, which made the tension in Tang Xiaoshu's heart also disappear a little.

"Can I go over?" Tang Xiaoshu asked hesitantly.

The maid said: "If the young master wants to see it, you can see it when you enter the attic in the courtyard." Although the martial arts arena is separated from this courtyard by a wall, it is actually far away. ”

Tang Xiaoshu looked back, and sure enough, he found that there was an attic behind him, he secretly scolded himself for being stupid, and was about to turn around and enter the attic, but just as he was about to take a step, he stopped again and did not move again.

The maid saw his scruples and smiled: "Young master doesn't have to be restrained, Tiantian will take you up." ”

The maid's name is Tiantian, really like her name, whether it is her smile or voice, it is like a clear spring with a sweetness.

Stepping into the attic, Tang Xiaoshu finally witnessed the style of the martial arts arena.

The arena occupies a huge area, and in the center, there is a phalanx of several hundred people, who are wearing heavy armor and are training. This is the Phoenix Iron Army, their movements are uniform, and each of them exudes a solemn temperament, which makes people feel admiration.

And if you look closely, every Phoenix Iron Army is actually a woman, their appearance may not be outstanding, but this temperament is enough to make up for everything, Tang Xiaoshu even gave birth to an illusion as if facing Tang Fengjiao.

The maid introduced: "Every Phoenix Iron Army has fought on the battlefield, they are from ordinary backgrounds, and they have become a member of the Phoenix Iron Army step by step through military camp training. It is no exaggeration to say that every woman in the Tang Dynasty has a desire to join the Phoenix Iron Army. ”

"What about you?" Tang Xiaoshu asked rhetorically.

Tian Tian smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Tian Tian has no cultivation talent, and she can't realize this wish." ”

Tang Xiaoshu showed an apologetic expression, scratched his head, and moved his gaze into the martial arts arena again. The training of the Phoenix Iron Army is the most beautiful scenery on the martial arts field, which is incomparable to those soldiers in Southern Xinjiang City.

At this moment, Tang Xiaoshu suddenly noticed a sneaky figure on the side of the martial arts arena, to be precise, it was a woman in white, the woman was about sixteen or seventeen years old, there was a sense of amazement when she first saw her, and when she looked closely, the woman's appearance was like spring rain infiltrating people's hearts, as if she was in a smoke and rain painting.

She hid behind a stone, and her cautious appearance made Tang Xiaoshu couldn't help but laugh: "Is she also a member of the Phoenix Iron Army?"

The maid looked at the sound sweetly, and suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, it's not good! Why did Miss Shiyu run into the martial arts arena again." ”

"Miss Shiyu?" Tang Xiaoshu looked puzzled, isn't this woman a member of the Phoenix Iron Army?

The maid Tian Tian explained: "Young master, Miss Shiyu is the pearl of the Shangguan family in the city, and she often comes to see the general and wants to join the Phoenix Iron Army, but the general has refused many times, but Miss Shiyu just doesn't give up, and even often sneaks into the martial arts arena." ”

Tang Xiaoshu was stunned, he didn't know what the so-called Shangguan family meant, but this woman had to sneak into the martial arts arena after being rejected many times, was her cheek too thick?

"Why is she so thick-skinned?"

The maid looked at him sweetly, and then laughed: "Giggle...... The young master should be the first person to say that Miss Shiyu is thick-skinned. ”

Tang Xiaoshu scratched his head and said, "Isn't it?"

The maid didn't know how to answer, so she had to focus her attention on the martial arts arena again. At this time, Shangguan Shiyu's figure was discovered by the Phoenix Iron Army, and a female general stepped forward to drive Shangguan Shiyu away, but who knew that Shangguan Shiyu actually had a big fight.

"Why did she start a fight without saying a word?" Tang Xiaoshu was even more puzzled at this time.

The maid said helplessly: "The general said it casually, but Miss Shiyu took it seriously." ”

It turned out that Tang Fengjiao was disturbed by Shangguan Shiyu many times, and she was so annoyed that as long as Shangguan Shiyu could defeat a member of the Phoenix Iron Army, she could replace him, Shangguan Shiyu took it seriously, and often sneaked into the martial arts arena to find a target to defeat.

But the ending is clear, she fails, just like this time. The female general defeated Shangguan Shiyu without much effort at all, and the latter fell to the ground in embarrassment, covered in dust, tired and panting, but still unconvinced.

Tang Xiaoshu was speechless, this Shangguan Shiyu was really persevering. At this moment, Tang Xiaoshu's complexion changed, and the maid was also discolored!

In the martial arts arena, when Shangguan Shiyu turned her head, she suddenly found Tang Xiaoshu in the attic here, and she suddenly became angry, was that guy laughing at her?!

She rose into the air, rushed directly to the attic, and said menacingly: "No wonder Miss Ben has a feeling of being peeped at, it turns out to be you! Look at your expression, are you laughing at Miss Ben?!"
