In the first year of Lin De (664 AD), the eighth day of the tenth month of winter, not six quarters.

Penglai Palace Secret Pavilion Bureau, Secret Pavilion Langzhong Public Room, Wu Kang knelt on the ground. The Xue Clan's Reverse Martial Arts Group is too strong, I can't stand it, and I was already scared on the way here just now. You have great powers, have mercy on me, and show the martial artist a clear way.

After Chunfeng calculated, his face was as pale as paper, and he bluntly said that he could not do anything. The queen meddled in political affairs and was deeply involved in it, and at the same time mishandled it, touching the saint's scales. The saints were dissatisfied, and the courtiers added fuel to the fire, so that today's crisis was born, but in fact they were to blame.

These have long known that they have been mended before, but they are still useless. Wu Kang kowtowed and pounded garlic, and at the same time burst into tears, humbly praying. If the queen is deposed, he will surely die, and his wives and concubines and daughters will be reduced to slaves and maids, and they will suffer in the court.

Wu Kang is not afraid of death, and after a seven-year career as a horseman, he has experienced a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and he has long been put out of the way. But he couldn't bear it, his wife and daughter were enslaved, and he would die without looking away. In order to save his family, he can live without his life, what is dignity? Holding Chunfeng's thighs, begging with all his might, crying like a child.

The man didn't flick when he had tears, but because he didn't get to the sad place, Li Chunfeng couldn't bear it, and finally decided to make a move. Pull him up first, then put out the incense case, and pray according to the routine. The right hand is constantly calculating, the left hand is divining the turtle shell, the eyebrows are condensed into pimples, and the forehead is dripping with fine sweat.

Take out the weird compass and ask Wu Kang to cut his wrist and drip blood into the blood groove. It resembles a roulette wheel, carved with countless symbols, and looks like prehistoric writing. As the wheel turns, the hands are soaked in blood, sweeping over a symbol and finally spelling out the text.

Chunfeng continued to calculate, according to a certain routine, from different directions, with different forces, turning the strange compass. In the direction of the pointer, find the one with the most intense blood, and write it down. After doing this three times, take out two ancient books, combine them according to the astrology, and finally come up with the word "new".

Writing on paper, calligraphy is vigorous and powerful. Li Chunfeng pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head helplessly: "The old man does not hide the change, according to the meaning of astrology, this martial arts catastrophe, the new word can save lives." But I don't know what it means, how to save my family, you can figure it out for yourself. ”

After saying that, he sat paralyzed in the Taishi chair, closed his eyes tightly and did not speak, and let the sweat slide down. Seeing that he was exhausted, Wu Kang couldn't bear to disturb him, so he bowed and said goodbye: "Uncle is very kind, Wu Kang is unforgettable." He made a vow that if he survived this calamity, he would be rewarded in the future. ”

Chunfeng didn't open his eyes, as if he was asleep, and his breathing was very steady. Wu Kang left silently, and when he walked out of the secret cabinet office, he felt top-heavy. Tie the wrist silk cloth tightly, I lost too much blood just now, it should be anemia, just rest for a few days.

When I got home from work, I ate with my family and teased the white rabbit with my daughter. I don't want the women to see the wrist wound, and go back to the study to sleep under the pretext that they are on official business. Where will I not be able to sleep, what do the new words that fill my head represent?

It is said that its original meaning was to cut down trees with an axe. Is it for me to cut someone, if I cut someone, I can resolve the catastrophe, then there is nothing to say. Immediately carried the knife over, except for the emperor, no matter who it was, he directly raised the knife and fell.

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, he continued to figure it out. This word is in the "Book of Songs" for the first time opposite to the old, such as "in the other Xintian". This is also the meaning that is most commonly used nowadays, to represent new things, such as brides and new officials. So the question is, what is new, can save the samurai, new people or new things?

Tossing and turning and sleepless, racking all my brains, still clueless. In the end, there was nothing to be done, so I went out in a big hat, got into the daffodils, and asked our talented girl. Sure enough, it is extraordinary, in addition to the above explanation, a new direction is proposed.

The new character is also a surname, from the surname of Western Zhou Ji, a descendant of King Wen, who was divided into Xintian, and then took it as a surname. At the end of Wang Mang's new dynasty, the rebel leader Qin Feng was called Xinchen in the military. So Wu Kang thought to himself, could it be that the new person surnamed is the savior of the Wu family?

But this surname is very biased, the Manchu Dynasty has hundreds of civil and military officials, and there are no new surname officials. Narcissus also said that the family with this surname is in Yaozhou, Lingnan, Qufu, Henan Province. The calves were completely finished, and the distant water did not quench the thirst of the near, so he sent people to Qufu County, and the daylilies were cold.

Vent the depression in your heart, help Narcissus sleep, and continue to scratch her ears and cheeks. Holding the delicate body in a daze, waiting until the middle of the night, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind. Thinking of that possibility, could it be that this new word refers to the princess of Xincheng. Li Jiu gave her face, couldn't bear the misery of Erya, and announced the suspension of the abolition of the armed forces?

Feeling unlikely, and at the same time there was nothing to be done, he quickly made up his mind to become a dead horse doctor. Tomorrow is the ninth day of the new year, ask Li Jiu for leave, and the day after tomorrow is the tenth day of the first month, which happens to be the tenth day of the new year. In these two days, I went to Zhaoling to see the new city, sat in front of her tomb, and asked her to dream and remind.

The next day, the Xuanzheng Palace court meeting, because of a certain funeral, the plan was disrupted. About two months ago, the former general Zuo Wuwei, the governor of Liangzhou, Zheng Rentai died of illness in the west. In the past year, the Xuanwumen coup d'état, he was a pioneer, and he was allowed to accompany the burial of Zhaoling.

After his death, he was not buried, and the Secret Pavilion Bureau looked at feng shui and opened a tomb near Zhaoling. After two months of preparation, the Zhaoling Supervisor was sparse and the construction of the Mausoleum was completed. After deliberation among the ministers, Li Jiu promulgated a letter and left the dynasty for three days to mourn. Officials above the fifth grade all went to Zheng's mansion to pay their respects, crying and reciting sacrifices.

At the same time, Wu Kang was appointed as the funeral master of ceremonies, assisting the celebrant and supervising the funeral affairs. This one readily accepted, but it is justifiable, go to Zhaoling to see the new city. You can stay a few more days, watch the tomb of the new city day and night, and investigate the meaning of the word "new".

Speaking of this Zheng Rentai, he still despises it at the moment, and in the past, the Northern Expedition to Tiele also fought side by side. Zheng is the head of the march, and Wu is the chief of the march, and they don't get along very well. It was this who hit the street, deliberately targeting Wu Kang and forcing him to kill prisoners of war. At the foot of Hangai Mountain in Mongolia, there are 130,000 people with surnames and 10 mass graves.

It becomes a nightmare in my heart, and when I think of the picture of that day, I will always have palpitations. He still did not listen to dissuasion, and in the autumn Mobei pursued the enemy and encountered a snowstorm. 14,000 cavalrymen, first eating horses and then people, after escaping the snow disaster, more than 800 people survived.

This was the biggest defeat since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it was a non-combat attrition. Wu Kang used this to threaten him and pulled him onto the thief ship and became a samurai alliance. In May and June last year, in order to defend against Tibet, he went to guard the western region, and died of illness in August this year.

I can't help but sigh in my heart, thinking about the past three years, there have been too many famous generals who have died. Such as General Pang Xiaotai, Ren Yaxiang's old comrade-in-arms, Yingzhou Governor Cheng Mingzhen, Zuo Rongwei General Du Junxuan, or died in battle or died of illness. The old generals are gone, there are no newcomers to replenish, the military backbone is faulty.

Too lazy to dwell on these, first find Dajie Yang Jiong and buy a sacrifice diploma hanging. But this king and eight calves need to open their mouths for twenty times, and they were all ten times before. This is to sit on the ground and start the price, too lazy to pay back the money on the spot, and turn around and leave directly, looking for Xu Jingzong to ghostwrite.

When he went to Xu Jingzong's mansion, he ate a closed door again, and the concierge of Xu's mansion passed the word. Lang Jun was sick in bed, and in the past half a month, he refused to visit guests. Xu Jingzong also said that if you want to sacrifice the text, go to the Wang's house in Wannianfang and find Wang Zi'an to write it.

Wu Kang only smiled bitterly, Jingzong's illness was fake, and it was true to seek good fortune and avoid evil. Xue's abolition movement, he has gotten the news and chooses to stay out of the matter. turned me away because he wanted to clear up the relationship, and it is estimated that he also thought that the martial arts family was in a catastrophe.

This is human nature, you can't say anything, it's useless to say anything. Turned around and went to Wannianfang, visited the prince's home, and then was completely confused. I thought it was an old pedant, but I didn't expect it to be a young man, about thirteen or fourteen years old, wouldn't he be a prodigy?

Directly explain the intention, the teenager is full of confidence, and he can do it overnight. Blowing dry ink and reading, it is really brilliant, the writing is quite sensational, and I want to cry when I read it. So I was interested, sent ten taels of pen money, and started a family routine with him.

continues to be dumbfounded, he is a big man again, and his reputation is not inferior to Yang Jiong. Jiangzhou Longmen Wang Bo, one of the four masters of the early Tang Dynasty, wrote "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng". On this year's Chung Yeung Festival, he wrote to Liu Xiangdao, stating his political views and expressing his determination.

Xiangdao hit the festival and praised his article, calling him a prodigy. However, there was no recommendation, Wang Bo was only fourteen years old, and he was still too young to recommend him directly. The most bizarre thing in this dynasty is the Wukang Wu Change, which keeps two records.

First of all, he was the first to become an official, and at the age of about seventeen, he joined the military in Wuzhou. Secondly, the promotion is too fast, just arrived in the year of establishment, a dignified general, and a military officer of the third grade. Liu Xiangdao's meaning was to let him wait for another three years, and when he was seventeen years old, he would be recommended as an official. Someone is in front of him, and he will not provoke criticism.

Talking for half an hour, it can be said that the guests and hosts are happy, the guests say goodbye and leave, and the host personally sends them out. Wu Kang was very disappointed with Wang Shentong, to be honest, his talent was indeed very high, and his emotional intelligence was pitiful. The arrogant is boundless, looking down on the heroes of the world, and not knowing the height of the sky. With such a character, the career is destined to be bumpy.

On the tenth day of the first month of October, Liquanfang Rentai Mansion, Baiguan Mourning Hall worshipped. Wu Kang burst into tears and recited the sacrificial text, and the result was very funny. As far as he himself is crying, other colleagues who are mourning are savoring the article. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would definitely applaud loudly, the value of this ten times of money is worthy of Wang Bo.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the funeral came to an end, and according to the established routine, the coffin was carried into the carriage. Wu Kang, dressed in plain clothes, accompanied the celebrant officials, and walked in front of the team. Hurried day and night, arrived at Zhaoling two days later, and waited until Wangri was buried.

Zheng Rentai's tomb is southwest of Zhaoling, next to Wei Zheng's tomb. Before October 15, the funeral officially ended, and Taizong's confidants will always accompany him. For the ancients, living and entering the phase, and being buried in the imperial mausoleum after death is the pinnacle of life.

The funeral procession left, and Wu Kang went to the tomb of Xincheng and sat quietly in the ancestral hall. Wait until the dead of night, through the dim light, look at her spiritual position. My heart was not a taste, and my words were full of guilt: "I know that you hate me, and what I have done is indeed unpleasant." ”

Shaking his head slightly, his face was distressed, and he said to himself: But there is no choice, our origin determines our fate. The court is vying for power and profit, and even more so on the battlefield, if you are careless, you will never recover. However, the ridiculous thing is that if you are cautious all day long, you will never recover.

The queen and the samurai family have encountered the biggest crisis, and if they can survive this catastrophe, it will be a great opportunity. It's a pity that it's hard to survive, the mastermind of the abolished group is your ninth brother. In the past, in order to take power, with the help of the abolition of Wang Liwu, he killed the Guanlongmen valve. The eldest grandson and his son, including your happiness, have been ruined by politics.

Or because of power, he wants to repeat his old tricks, support the Xue Group, and kill Mei Niang with a soft knife. Shuyu, let me tell you, this political storm, no matter who wins or loses, will be bloody. If the political struggle is successful, Shangguanyi and other political enemies will at least be exiled to Lingnan, or all will be killed.

If the political fight fails, Mei Niang will be in the cold palace, and I will be in a prison cell. They can take my life with any excuse, which is easier than killing a chicken. I don't care, I just went down to accompany you, but I just affected Erya. I'm afraid that I am the only one in the world who really loves her.

After speaking, he slowly got up, came to the offering table, picked up the scissors by the fireside, and cut off the wick that burned out. The wick was on the scissors, still burning hard until it was reduced to ashes. Wu Kang smiled dumbly, put down the scissors in his hand, stared at the spiritual position of Xincheng, and continued to say what was in his heart...

The candlewick burns his body, but he still wants to shine, and if he is exhausted, he also wants to survive. The Buddha once said, I don't go to hell, whoever loves will go down. I didn't want to accept my fate, so I begged Li Chunfeng, and he gave me the word "new", and I thought of you.

Your hatred for me has nothing to do with Erya, she is innocent. For the sake of our daughter, please have mercy on me and show the way through my dreams. But as soon as possible, I'm really afraid, after leaving Zhaoling, Yushi is waiting for me. Read your brother's edict, saying that Mei Niang was deposed and sent me back for trial.

After pouring out his heartfelt words, Wu Kang returned to the futon, sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. Try to empty your nerves, force yourself to sleep, and wait for Soyu to pick up. I slept until dawn, except for the soreness and numbness all over my body, there were no dreams. Let's continue to wait, there are still two days left, the mission period is over, and we must return to Beijing to resume our lives.

The next day was disappointment, not dreaming of the new city, not even dreaming. The third day was despair, and although I succeeded in dreaming, I also dreamed of the new city. The familiar face, still expressionless, touched the red lips mechanically, repeating four words: You go quickly...

Over and over again, Wu Kang was awakened, and it was already dawn. At the end of the mission period, even if he is unwilling, he must return to the capital. After standing quietly for a long time, he took out a bag of fire folds and lit three incense sticks. Insert the incense burner on the offering table, bow deeply three times, and reluctantly leave.

Go to see the Zhaoling Supervisor's order, get the envoy fish book, and leave the Zhaoling area. Outside the Southern Anle Temple, when I saw Qian Shun Pinglang, my hanging heart was finally pressed into my chest. There is no imperial history waiting, which means that Mei Niang is safe, but how long can this peace of mind last?

With ten guards, he rode to Liquan County, and the guards who responded to him turned around at the post station outside the county. I was frightened all the way, staring ahead, for fear of jumping out of this kind of person: wearing an inverted trapezoidal crown, wearing a red robe, and a white gauze middle sheet.

People dressed like this are all imperial historians of the imperial court, and if they suddenly appear, they will definitely scare him. It's so hard that I want to be colorblind, or blind. Especially when passing by the village and not seeing the official road, you will be inexplicably panicked.

I always feel in my heart that there is a royal history in the village, and I lock him with an edict. After passing through three villages in a row, his mentality was completely broken, and Lema stopped on the side of the road, pointing to the north and scolding. The guards were frightened, and hurriedly dismounted and surrounded them, gossiping and asking.

Wu Kang stopped scolding, gathered all the wine bags, and poured two catties of water and wine. Standing on the side of the road peeing, tilting his head and screaming: "I'm afraid of a bird's egg, my head has fallen off, and the bowl has a big scar." Maybe when the head lands, you can travel through time and space, go back to a thousand years later, and be filial to my father. Marry Li Lingyue, and then help her lose weight and turn Nutan into a goddess. ”

The mouth is full of gibberish, and there is an uproar. The guards were anxious and concerned, and Qian Shun cried: "What's wrong with you, big guy, has hysteria recurred, don't scare me." Don't be stunned, hurry up and raise the banner and call the soul, and Pinglang quickly take the flag..."

Wu Kang lifted his pants and slapped his head hard, what are you arguing about, you cry a hammer, Nai Weng is not dead yet. Got on the horse and continued to hurry, using the strength of the wine to whip the horse's buttocks. was speeding for a while, driving under the influence of alcohol, the scene was almost out of control, and the guards were completely frightened.

When I came to Liquan Station, I was sweaty, and my strength was greatly reduced. Zhao Sheng was outside the post gate, and when he saw the horse team returning, he ran over with a smoke. His face was extremely anxious, and his lips trembled a little: "It's a big deal, it's going to die." ”

Wu Kang was like being struck by lightning, and the sky whirled in a whirlwind, and he fell directly off the horse. Zhao Sheng's eyes were quick, so he hurriedly hugged him in his arms and fried the pot again on the spot. Some pinched people, some looked for hot water, Pinglang waved the spirit flag, and howled at the top of his voice: The Wu clan of Bingzhou has changed, and the soul has returned...

The guards were all dispatched, and they lined up in circles side by side to block the melon-eating masses. Wu Kang smiled bitterly, it turned out that my heart was not as strong as I imagined. There was a commotion in their heads, and their ears suddenly became deaf, and they opened their mouths, but they couldn't hear a sound. His eyes were scattered, his mouth was repeated, and the repeater mode: Is it the imperial history coming...

After some time, my hearing began to return, and my eyes gradually became bright. Everyone was ecstatic, and Zhao Sheng reported eagerly: "It's not that Yushi is here, when I was patrolling yesterday, I found a man with a very suspicious appearance." We caught her, an old acquaintance, Zhao Zhiman's daughter, the funny assassin. ”

Funny calf, Wu Kang resurrected with full blood, slapped his head hard, and scolded and scolded: "Do you want to scare me to death, Yushi didn't come again, what's the hurry?" Zhao Zhiman's daughter, is she in the Eastern Capital, wanting to avenge her father and assassinate my mother? Didn't you catch it, what are you anxious about? ”

Qian Shun was also angry, spitting fragrant fragrance and slapping him. Zhao Sheng held his head and his expression was very aggrieved: "The little lady is very stubborn, it's been almost two days, and she doesn't eat or drink." No matter how much you persuade you, it's useless to be scared, and your subordinates are worried that something will happen, so they will be so anxious. ”

Wu Kang finally calmed down, scolded Zhao Sheng for being angry, and then walked into the post house and instructed the post guards to prepare food. Holding lean rice porridge, Zhao Sheng led the way and came to the house arrest room. Push the door in, turn around and plug in the latch, and put the rice porridge on the table.

hugged the girl in the corner, ripped off her outer skirt, and fell directly on the bed. The fingers shrunk into the woman, and she looked fierce: "Wait until you count to three, you sit down and drink porridge, and drink it all." If you dare to have half a grain of rice left, I will strip you naked and throw it on the street. I'm so annoyed right now, I'm not in the mood to coax you, one, two..."

After shouting the three numbers, she was still indifferent, Wu Kang strode and pulled her clothes again. The lady screamed, dodged the claws, and stumbled away. His eyes were full of fear, and when he saw Wu Kang leaning in again, he hurriedly held a bowl of porridge and drank it.

Wu Kang was angry, rolled his eyes and said, "I emphasize once again that it was the politics of all evils that killed your father, not me, Wu someone." I said last time, you're just a woman, and you can't bear hatred. Find someone to marry, have a few sons, and let them report to me..."

The words stopped abruptly, and after a long time, he sighed and untied the bag at his waist. took out the iron crossbow and gold leaves, and put them all on the bed: "Don't wait so long, I am already in great trouble, if you can't get through, your revenge will be avenged." If you can get through, you can use the money to buy crossbow arrows, and if you practice until there is no mistake, you can take my life. ”

After speaking, she walked to the door, and the lady exclaimed again, shrunk in the east corner, her arms folded and trembling. Wu Kang took a look at the porridge bowl, said a word to eat cleanly, and slammed the door and left. This yellow-haired girl is less than fifteen, right, what kind of revenge?

Zhao Sheng leaned over, his eyes kept rolling, and he deliberately raised his voice: "The toad lies on the surface of the foot, does not bite people, and the subordinates can solve it." As long as you sleep with her and wait until the baby is in your womb, you will be obedient. A woman is like this, as long as she conceives a child, it is a new life. ”

It's not human words, and you're not a thing, Wu Kang kicked it when he raised his foot, and Zhao Sheng fled. Looking at his back, he suddenly thought of something, and was directly stunned on the spot, repeatedly savoring the sentence: As long as you are pregnant with a child, it is a new life, is it a new life...
