In June of the second year of the Tang Dynasty.

Baekje.

Minamiharakyo.

On the bank of the river in the suburbs, under a quiet moonlight, a beautiful woman, holding a single horse, stood under a big tree, looking up at the moon.

Soon, the sound of horses' hooves came, and when she turned her head, she saw the young man dressed in splendid clothes and with a clear face, and slightly hooked the corners of her lips, and her red lips, which were originally like pearls, were dyed with a beautiful smile.

When he came to the front, he let out a soft cry, and the horse immediately stopped.

The young man turned over and dismounted, looked at the woman, bowed his head slightly, and then led the horse over:

"Why is General Jade waiting here? Didn't Lord Kim accompany the general? ”

The woman was Yuming, but she smiled and said:

"Lord Kim said that this is still Baekje after all, but it is not very stable at the moment, so he asked the official to wait here, and he went to find a proper boatman, and then talked about it after crossing this river."

The young man glanced at the river in front of him and nodded:

"Indeed...... After crossing this river, they entered the realm of the old Gaya. ”

Yuming smiled:

"Now, it should be said that it is the Silla territory, yes or no?"

The young man turned his head to look at her, smiled faintly, but said nothing.

Yuming didn't ask any more, but only said lightly after a while:

"I don't know if Qiu Niang is doing well or not right now......"

"It turns out that your envoy will also care for a woman who has been sent by the supreme and honorable queen of your country as a pawn."

The young man laughed.

Yuming glanced at him for a while before he said:

"Do you know her?"

"Although we haven't seen much, I also know what kind of life Miss Qiu Niang will have in that situation."

Yuming shook his head and said:

"It's not her that...... What this official is talking about is the queen mother of my Tang Dynasty. Have you seen her? ”

Young people look at her:

"I haven't seen it, I only know that its fame is far and wide at home."

"The name is known at home, and the world spreads wisdom. This is my queen mother of the Tang Dynasty. Yuming said lightly:

"There are some things, although it is not appropriate to talk to Your Majesty, but this official and Brother Tai have come all the way, and they are more or less friends of life and death, so I might as well talk about it with you."

"Oh?"

Young people raise their eyebrows:

"What's inconvenient to say to Your Majesty, but it's convenient to say it to Jin?"

Yuming smiled, and after a while, he said lightly:

"Dare to ask Lord Jin, in Lord Jin's opinion, what kind of woman should she be?"

The young man is Kim Deok-jun, the nephew of Silla Kim Yuxin, because he has been personally tuned by Kim Yuxin since he was a child, his martial arts are extraordinary, plus he is smart and intelligent, calm and calm, this time to meet the task of the Tang Dynasty's secret envoy, as a contemporary Hualang Guoxian Jin Yuxin will choose him, it is also a very prudent consideration.

But what he didn't expect was that this nephew, who was not good at words, was actually quite arrogant, and since he knew who he was going to meet, he was full of unhappiness - after all, what kind of character is the queen of the Tang Dynasty in the eyes and ears of the world...... He'd heard some of it, too.

And when he saw Yuming asking like this, he said lightly:

"As far as women are concerned, Jin doesn't know much. But there is one thing that I know...... The queen mother of the Tang Dynasty is indeed a capable woman. ”

Yuming heard the faint irony in his words, but he didn't care too much, just asked:

"But I don't know what Lord Jin means by being capable?"

Kim Deok-jun looked at her strangely, and stopped talking.

Yuming said it for him:

"You mean...... My mother, the former emperor is a talented person, can you enter the current lord's house? ”

"There's nothing strange about this one."

Kim Deok Joon said:

"Although Jin doesn't know much about the palace system of your country, he also knows that this person has become a female official since the opening of your country. Since she was originally a female official and had no concubine status, that was what the former emperor could easily give any prince as a concubine. There's nothing wrong with that. ”

"That'...... I just think that my mother can come to such a point step by step in the Tang Dynasty Houting Palace as a talented person? ”

“…… can go from being a neglected female official to approaching His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time step by step, and then under the circumstance of being provoked by prophecy, he can also return to the palace after being demoted from the palace and walk to his current status...... She is indeed a capable woman. ”

Yuming was silent, and then said lightly:

"Many things, in the eyes of outsiders, she did it easily, but no one knows what she has experienced and lost when she has come to this point."

After a pause, she smiled:

"And such a Niangniang, there are always countless capable people who regard fame and fortune as dung, famous all over the world like the medicine king Sun Lao Immortal, the second sword in the world Murong Girl, and even the master of Qiu Niang Girl, Aunt Luo, who is a piano artist...... Have you ever wondered why? ”

Kim Dejun was silent for a while before he said lightly:

Jin has also heard of the reputation of these three. Others don't mention it, the Murong woman who is the second sword in the world, Jin's uncle had the honor to fight with him once.

With her uncle's swordsmanship, under her hands, she still has less than a hundred moves...... It can be seen how exquisite his swordsmanship is. At that time, my uncle had hired him with a lot of money, and he even promised him with glory, and wanted to invite this Murong woman into the capital of Silla and offer us the new source flowers with few flowers.

But this Murong woman didn't have the slightest thought about this—although for her, who was being searched everywhere by His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty at that time, entering my Silla Kingdom as the source flower was obviously the best way to solve the troubles at that time......"

"Because for her, in the Tang Kingdom, she found a very interesting woman, so interesting that she was unwilling to give up."

"You mean...... The Queen? ”

"Yes."

“…… Just because it's funny, she can stay and hide? ”

"Naturally, it is also because, after all, Datang is her home country, no matter what, she can't leave."

“…… The swordsmanship of that Murong woman, my uncle has always been amazed, and he took advantage of the opportunity to fight at that time, and forced two moves in his heart. General Yu's swordsmanship and sword intent, according to what Jin saw, was connected to a vein. Seemingly...... General Yu is also a high-ranking disciple of Murong Nuxia. It's just that Jin has never heard of Murong Nuxia's apprenticeship......

So in other words, because of the request of the queen mother of your country, she once mentioned General Jade? ”

"It's not a request, it's a bet."

Speaking of his own set of swordsmanship, Yuming couldn't help laughing:

"It's a gamble."

Kim Dejun was stunned:

"Bets?"

"Bets."

Yuming repeated it again, then looked at Jin Dejun with a somewhat curious expression and said:

"At the beginning of the separation, the mother at that time actually didn't think about using the Qiu Niang girl at all. And in fact, at that time, Miss Qiu Niang was a very coincidental opportunity, when she followed Aunt Luo into the palace to serve, she learned that Niangniang intended to send someone to carry out a plan to divide the world, thinking that the main plan to conquer the east was the first game, so she volunteered and asked Niangniang to give her a chance to take revenge. ”

Kim Deok Joon was stunned - this was something he didn't know. After a long while, he said lightly:

"The Autumn Girl and the Goguryeo ......"

"We don't share the hatred of the sky."

Yu Ming said lightly:

"Miss Qiu Niang was originally the daughter of the little princess born by the previous lord of Goguryeo, but because the little princess found out that Quangai Suwen intended to make herself the murderer of his own father by his scheme, she was killed.

Then, because of his love with the princess, he finally learned the truth after the violent death of his beloved wife and the previous lord of the country, and wanted to take revenge, but he was preempted by Quangai Suwen and forced the new lord to draw up a holy decree and punished the little princess's widows.

This case is shocking, and Lord Jin must have heard of it.

But what is not known to the outside world is that in order to deter other ministers who were interested in adultery in the court at that time, Naquan Gai Suwen actually executed all the three eldest men of the three men and two women from the little princess in the palace, and entered the palace for prostitution, and instigated his subordinate sergeants to insult in the name of the newly established puppet monarch......

Pity those three sons of noble birth, temperament and morality, they are all dragons and phoenixes among people, but they have been harmed by treachery and evil, and they have been humiliated...... In the end, they chose to die without food for several days......

Even its corpse was dismembered by those demons and thrown into the mountains to be eaten by wild beasts.

The eldest of the two daughters, who is also the eldest sister of Qiu Niang, was given the news in advance, so she was covered by her brothers and several old family members, so she was able to escape from Goguryeo with her younger sister Qiu Niang, who was still a minor at the time.

It's a pity that after she entered my Tang Kyoto and handed over her sister to the little princess's old friend Aunt Luo, she disappeared and was no longer heard. ”

At this point, Jin Dejun was already shaken, and he said lightly after a while:

"It turned out to be her...... Jin felt strange...... When I saw her in my early years, I thought she was always kind-faced, but I couldn't remember where I had seen her.

Now it seems...... What a coincidence!

It's just that the queen mother must have known about these things about her for a long time, right? ”

"No, this matter is related to the safety of Miss Qiu Niang, and Aunt Luo didn't reveal a single star to outsiders at all. At that time, the girl Qiu Niang knew that the queen mother intended to make a separation, and was determined to avenge her parents and brother, and knelt in front of the queen mother for an hour to cry and plead, and the mother knew that she was actually a descendant of the Goguryeo royal family. ”

Yuming said lightly:

"But even so, Niangniang didn't explicitly agree to her in the end, so after she asked Aunt Luo for advice, she went to ask Miss Murong to make this promise to the queen mother on the condition that she played the piano for three days for Miss Murong who loved the qin for herself."

"So Murong Nuxia made a bet with the queen mother?"

"Yes, a bet."

"Bet on what?"

"Gambling ......"

Yuming smiled and said:

"If there is a phoenix order in her hand, how much can Miss Murong summon who has already faded out of the rivers and lakes and is unwilling to show up again, and the immortal master who does not want to show up again will come out and secretly help Miss Qiu Niang's plan.

The queen mother gambled on a maximum of three people, but Murong girl bet twice as much on her, which was six people, or even more. They made an agreement that if Miss Murong won, then it would be up to Niangniang Fengling to let these masters secretly protect Miss Qiu Niang into Goguryeo and take revenge; If the queen wins, then according to the queen's wishes, the girl will enter the border between Baekje and Datang and act accordingly. ”

Jin Dejun stared at Yuming, and then said lightly:

"It seems that Murong Nuxia won ......"

"The queen mother has rarely lost in her life. This time was the most unwilling loss she had. ”

Yu Ming smiled and said:

"Because even Miss Murong didn't expect that as soon as a phoenix order came out, hundreds of masters would respond. Among them, there are more than 130 people who are on the list of the heads of various countries who want to be recruited and selected from the sleeves of the heads of various countries. And the master who is not born in the world...... That's eighteen people. ”

She laughed happily:

Although the queen mother was very unwilling and unhappy, she was still a person who kept her promises, so she naturally agreed to Miss Qiuniang. It's just that...... She's not going to lose in vain. Therefore, although Miss Murong has not faded out of the rivers and lakes, she is still an unborn master, so she naturally has to come along. ”

Jin Dejun's eyes widened suddenly, and he said after a while:

"What...... What the?! Murong Woman...... At...... In the ......"

"She's right next to Miss Qiuniang."

Yuming smiled extremely happily.
