Cen Changqian smiled mysteriously and whispered, "Young Marshal Xue is here to manage 200,000 royal divisions to ensure the tranquility of the Eastern Capital and the safety of the imperial court, isn't this the greatest contribution to protecting the country?" ”

Xue Shao's heart lit up and understood! Wu Zetian, isn't this tantamount to suing me in a corner, asking me to quickly stand in her camp and help her at a critical moment?

"Don't doubt it, young marshal, let's quickly accept the thanks!" Cen Changqian said with a smile, with a deep meaning between her expressions, as if she was saying-you know!

"Minister...... Given, thanksgiving! ”

Xue Shao accepted it.

He thought to himself that Wu Zetian was really scheming, and he started quickly! - The merit of protecting the country can actually be "commended in advance"!

Cen Changqian's long smile was very happy. Between words and deeds, he suddenly became much closer to Xue Shao, and it felt like treating Xue Shao as a robe in the same trench, regardless of each other.

"Come on, open the sword box and let Young Marshal Xue test these twenty class swords!" Cen Changqian ordered.

The sword box was opened, and twenty tiger-skin swords were lying quietly inside, very beautiful.

"Young Marshal Xue, this batch of swords is a master craftsman of the Imperial Court Weapons Supervisor of the Queen of Heaven, and it is specially customized for Young Marshal Xue." Cen Changqian whispered, "The Queen of Heaven knows that Xue Shaoshuai's eyes are higher than the top, and generally everything can't enter the law's eyes. Therefore, this batch of swords is not only exquisite and extremely beautiful, but also extremely practical to sharpen iron like clay. Young Marshal Xue, why don't you try your sword? ”

Xue Shao secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that I not only have to accept it, but also have to accept it "very happily"!

"Okay, I'll try the sword myself!" Xue Shao picked up one of the swords, drew the sword out of its sheath, and the sword body was like a mirror with cold light. He touched the edge of the sword, and it was indeed extremely sharp. Swinging the sword a few more times, the sword roared like a dragon, and the condition was really good!

"Good sword, good sword!" Xue Shao praised repeatedly!

Cen Changqian nodded with a smile, "Young Marshal Xue can choose any strong man to wear this sword." In the future, no matter where Young Marshal Xue goes, he can take these twenty classes of swords with him. Even if they entered the palace to go to the early court or enter and exit the official office of the prime minister, they did not have to avoid or unload their swords. ”

"It just so happens that my subordinates have newly trained twenty scouts, so I will wear them with them!" Xue Shao couldn't help but laugh secretly, it seems that this class of swords is really - pretending to be a sharp weapon!

"One qiē, but with Young Marshal Xue, he can do it on his own." Cen Changqian still bowed his hand with a smile, "The young marshal is busy with military affairs, and it is inconvenient for this official to disturb." Just take your leave! ”

"Why is Xianggong Cen in a hurry to leave?" Xue Shao said politely, "We have the amber fruit wine brewed by the New Law of the Western Regions in our army, why don't you sit down and taste it?" ”

"Thank you for the young marshal's kindness, it's still not necessary!" Cen Changqian bowed his hand and thanked him, "The official has completed the errand, so it is better to return to the palace immediately." Queen of Heaven, I'm still waiting for me to reply! ”

Xue Shao heard it, and what he meant was that the queen of heaven attached "very, very" importance to this matter.

"That being the case, Xue didn't dare to force Cen Xianggong to stay." Xue Shao cupped his fists and saluted back, and said, "Please also ask Cen Xianggong to reply to the Queen of Heaven, the minister must live up to the grace of the saint, and he must be worthy of the twenty classes of swords given by the Queen of Heaven!" ”

Cen Changqian's face was overjoyed when he heard this, he finally made his statement clear!

"Don't worry, young marshal, I will definitely repay the queen truthfully!" Cen Changqian bowed her hands and bowed very politely, "Don't work for the young marshal to send him off, this official has taken his leave!" ”

Xue Shao shouted loudly: "Come on, pick up twenty urns of amber fruit wine, load it into the car, and send it to Cen Xianggong!" ”

"Thank you young marshal, thank you young marshal!" Cen Changqian smiled, very happy.

Cen Changqian came and went quickly.

Then Xue Shao ordered that a large batch of mutton and wine from the army would be distributed to the soldiers tomorrow. and clearly told the whole army that this was given by the queen of heaven's mercy to the soldiers and specially sent people to reward the army.

There is no such thing as an impermeable wall.

Xue Shao knew that Wu Zetian would definitely be happy and relieved when he heard the news that he had helped her buy people's hearts in the army. In other words, if he "didn't know" the twenty-class sword just now, or rejected the favor of the army as his own, then he, the newly appointed general of the right guard, would probably be about to move his nest!

In this turbulent and extraordinary period, every step of the way is dangerous. Xue Shao didn't want to be confused for a while or because of some trivial things, so as to invite a catastrophe!

After nightfall, Xue Shao couldn't sleep, so he walked out of the tent and took a breath outside. Inadvertently, he found that there seemed to be a person lying on a pile of wood not far ahead, looking up at the sky and chanting words.

Xue Shao walked over a little curiously, and only then did he see that it was Li Xianyuan's half-tone magic stick, who was "watching the sky at night".

"Hey, why hasn't the young marshal slept yet?" Seeing Xue Shao, Li Xianyuan hurriedly got up and saluted.

Xue Shao smiled and motioned for him to excuse himself, and the two sat together. Xue Shao pouted upwards and said, "Great Immortal, do you see something?" ”

In today's Tang Dynasty, it is taboo to study the astronomical calendar and astrology in private, and even the laws of the Tang Dynasty clearly stipulate that "astronomy is not allowed to be practiced privately". Li Xianyuan once boasted that he had received the guidance of his uncle Taishi Ling "Li Chunfeng", but no one knew whether it was true or not. But it is an indisputable fact that he was able to enter the Taishi Bureau.

In other words, Li Xianyuan is still an "officially certified" god stick.

"Mysterious and undisclosed." Li Xianyuan frowned and looked at the stars in the summer night sky, and sighed.

"I remember you once said that I smiled at the boundless wind and moon, and suddenly lay down millions of corpses in anger." Xue Shao smiled, "If I spread these words, do you guess you are a capital crime, or a capital crime, or a capital crime?" ”

"Ahem! ......" Li Xianyuan coughed dryly with an ugly face, and whispered, "Yingfu guards his heart, something is wrong!" ”

Xue Shao thought that he was relieved by listening to him, and smiled indifferently, "I would like to hear the great immortal explain in detail." ”

"Young marshal, please look, that star with red light flickering and disappearing is the star of confusion." Li Xianyuan pointed to the sky and said to Xue Shao, "Did you see it?" ”

"See." Xue Shao looked at it for a while and nodded, "Isn't that Mars?" “

"The glow is like fire and drifting, that's why it's called glow." Li Xianyuan said a little nervously, "Yingchao is also known as the Red Star, the Penalty Star, and Law Enforcement, and it is also called Suspension when it hangs in the East, it is called Tianli in the West, and it is called Mars in the South. ”

Xue Shao couldn't help laughing, don't say it, this god stick still has some goods in his stomach!

"Yingfu is in charge of the world's people's ministers, the main disaster, drought, war, death and demons, and so on. It's an ominous star! Li Xianyuan's expression gradually became nervous as he spoke, "In fact, before the famine in Guanzhong, Yingfu had already appeared. Because I had already left the Taishi Bureau, I didn't dare to report it. I don't know if my colleagues in the Taishi Bureau discovered and noticed it. ”

Xue Shao asked, "Then what does its reappearance mean?" ”

"Of course it's not good." Li Xianyuan shook his head nervously, "Just now I said that the Glowing Confusion Guarding the Heart, I mean that the Glowing Confusion Star has walked to the vicinity of the Pleiades - where the young marshal looks again, the blood-red Pleiades Star is as hot as fire, have you seen it?" ”

Xue Shao followed his instructions and saw the Nayada he was talking about in the middle of a pile of stars. Fortunately, I once learned to use constellations to guide the way and identify directions in the army, and recognized that it belonged to the constellation Scorpion.

"This star is called the Great Fire. It belongs to the heart of the twenty-eight nights. Li Xianyuan said, "There are three stars in Antares, which represent the emperor and the prince, which are important members of the royal family. It is generally difficult for the Glowing Star to get close to the Soul Star, but once it is close to us and other diviners, it is called - Glowing Confusion Guarding the Heart! ”

"Isn't it unlucky?" Xue Shao asked.

"It's not just bad luck, it's simple! ......" Li Xianyuan choked up halfway through his words.

"Go on." Xue Shao threatened him with his eyes.

Li Xianyuan smiled bitterly, so he had to say: "I can only give an example - in the second year of Suihe in the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty learned about the celestial phase of the Ying Confusion Guarding the Stars, and he was very frightened, afraid that he would die or the country would suffer doom. So Emperor Cheng of Han decided to blame the prime minister, he first accused the prime minister of not assisting wholeheartedly, and then simply gave the prime minister to death. But a year later, Emperor Han Cheng himself died violently! ”

Xue Shao seemed to understand a little, "Do you mean that the emperor dies, the country has doom, or the prime minister has stepped down?" ”

"That's what you said, it's none of my business!" Li Xianyuan shrunk his neck, looking very nervous.

Xue Shao was slightly startled, not to mention, this magic stick was unreasonable at first glance, but it was not completely unreasonable.

Astronomical Xuanyuan - the ancient Chinese astrology, is indeed magical!

"Daxian, I won't force you to say anything if you violate the ban." Xue Shao smiled and said, "Can you tell me, will there be a war around Datang?" ”

"Maybe there is, maybe there isn'......" Li Xianyuan squinted his eyes and stared at the sky, muttered for a long time, and shook his head again, "I'm not good at learning, and I can't see any clear clues for a while." When I can see it clearly, how about reporting to the young marshal? ”

"An indisputable god stick!" Xue Shao angrily rewarded him with a chisel on his head, and left with a smile.

Li Xianyuan shrank his head, plucked up the courage to whisper behind Xue Shao, "West...... Northwest! It's about the northwest! ”

"Why don't you report to the Taishi Bureau and let the imperial court take precautions in advance?" Xue Shao asked.

Li Xianyuan smiled bitterly, "I have already left the Taishi Bureau, and I have no right to report." And I don't know how to learn art, and I may not be accurate, there are a lot of capable people in the Taishi Bureau, so I don't need to go to the class to get an axe. Besides...... Even if the imperial court knows, it may not really make any measures to deal with it. In other words, just listen to it! ”

Xue Shao smiled and said the same. Although Datang attaches great importance to astronomy and astrology, it is still too absurd to stir up the affairs of the military state just based on the words of Fang Shi.

In fact, even if he didn't listen to Li Xianyuan's nonsense, Xue Shao had already thought that there was a lot of chaos in the area of Xiazhou and Shuofang. Because Wang Fangyi, the governor of Xiazhou, led the Anxi Tiger Division to the Western Regions to quell the rebellion, the war was stalemate and was fighting very hard. Now that the northwest is empty and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is about to die, the imperial court is about to fall into an unprecedented turmoil. The Turks in the northern desert will most likely take advantage of this opportunity to rebel again.

Xue Shao thought to himself that the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty would very likely lead to external troubles. I really want to lead my troops to the northwest in advance...... But will the court let me go?

Internal and external troubles, Datang's eventful autumn is coming soon!.
