In the wind and rain, everyone walked out of the Imperial Palace. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's not late at night, but it's already gloomy on a rainy day. Now it's night, and it's even darker. The wind and rain were raging, so the torch was of no use at all. Tightly guarded by a few soldiers, a few torches were barely lit, which was regarded as illumination, and the rest of the place could be said to be black and could not be seen with five fingers.

The raindrops slapped on his body, and there was a slight pain on his face, which showed how fierce the wind and rain were. The wind shook the surrounding trees and roared. The sound of rain hitting the ground and buildings is so loud that you can't hear the voices of the people around you.

Li Zhi held Wu Zetian's hand tightly, and the two walked slowly. Although he couldn't hear clearly, Helan Minzhi could still see that Li Zhi was indeed supporting Wu Mei, who was already with a big belly, step by step. Half a step ahead of her, as if to test the unseen risks ahead of her. It is really rare for a generation of emperors to be able to do this. The old eunuch and Xiao Yizi followed closely beside the two, and the dust in their hands was beaten out, as if they were guarding the master. Wu Shun protected Helan Minyue and followed closely, and Helan Minzhi took a slight half a step behind.

When I got out of the gate of the Imperial Palace, I saw two carriages that were much smaller than usual parked there. All around were soldiers in armor. Even in today's wind and rain, they can no longer see the road ahead clearly, and sometimes it is even difficult to open their eyes. But with a spear in their hands, a sword at their waists, and armor on their bodies, they never wavered. Not a single one of them made any sound, and they stood like this, and in the wind and rain they stood more stable and straight than the trees. Surrounded by layers, the two carriages were encircled. There were hundreds of soldiers around the carriage.

Rubbing his eyes, there were as many as five people holding the reins. Even if the storm startles the horse, I am afraid that there will be no mistakes. The man with the reins was enough to pull the horse back, not to mention the fact that there were so many soldiers around. Helan Minzhi would not doubt it at all, even if the horse's hooves stepped over them, they would not flinch at all.

Li Zhi and Wu Zetian didn't say anything, but waited slowly for the carriage at the safest pace. Helan Minzhi couldn't see clearly in this wind and rain, but before getting into the car, Li Zhi should have glanced back at the soldiers standing here, and also looked at their general Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui is really good at governing the army. Not to mention strictness, if it weren't for the strict management of the army in peacetime, I'm afraid these soldiers today would not be so serious.

To save the emperor from danger, just by virtue of tonight's work, it is enough for Xue Rengui to get a gold medal for avoiding death in the future, and it is enough for these soldiers to soar in the army in the future.

After the two giants got into the car, Wu Shun also hurriedly took Helan Minyue and Min to get into the car. However, only two carriages were prepared in the midst of this storm. Fortunately, the old eunuch and Xiao Yizi finally got the grace and got into Wu Zetian's car, and they were waiting for them. The rest of the people had to follow the carriage behind.

Slightly lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out. The soldiers guarded the carriage tightly, and next to the soldiers were the eunuchs and palace maids who had been wet, and they didn't dare to make any noise, so they could only support each other and follow the carriage tightly without falling behind.

And everyone in their hands still carries more or less things, which are all things that Wu Zetian and Li Zhi usually use. There are also things to prepare to prevent Wu Ze's naïve production. In short, a lot, a lot. In the midst of this storm, it is also difficult and difficult.

Looking at them, Helan Minzhi could only put down the curtain in his hand with a long sigh.

He had no way to change this situation, so he could only passively accept it. The simple thing is that he was born in a rich and noble family, and he is also the ruling class, if he was really born in this slave family, what should he do, I really don't know.

The carriage went very slowly, and it did not dare to go fast at all. After all, the sky was dark, and although the road of Jiucheng Palace was familiar, he didn't dare to walk quickly. The wind and rain were too urgent, and once they startled the horse and injured the emperor, it was not something they could bear. This is the safest way to control the slow speed.

The construction of Jiucheng Palace has gone through two dynasties, from the Sui Dynasty has begun to be built, to Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Tang Taizong and Tang Gaozong have been renovated many times, and the whole palace is very large. The distance between the Imperial Hall and the Great Treasure Hall is also very long, and this slow and leisurely carriage actually walked for about an hour and a half, that is, a full three hours. The tired Helan Minzhi has a sore back, the key is nothing else, the main thing is that he is afraid of some accident on the road, so he will inevitably be tired after being frightened for three hours.

However, the scene he saw when he went out really made him feel embarrassed, and all the soldiers, as when they had just left the Imperial Palace, stood upright, did not squint, and still did not dare to relax at all while holding the reins, and all the guards were concentrated. Even the general Xue Rengui was still as tall as ever, waiting for Li Zhi to get out of the car.

In fact, after seeing the figure of the Great Treasure Palace, Xue Rengui had already let out a long breath in his heart. If Li Zhi really makes any mistakes under his protection, whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, I am afraid that he will have to wipe out the clan.

After the carriage was stable and Helan Minzhi and the others got off, Li Zhi slowly walked down from the car. Wu Mei walked out of the carriage little by little, supported by the two little eunuchs and guided by Li Zhi. The silk and satin of the whole body were also wet by the wind and rain, showing a delicate body. The moment he got out of the car, Xue Rengui immediately lowered his head tightly, and all the soldiers around him quickly lowered their heads as if they had received some signal at the same time, not daring to look up for a bit. In fact, in this wind and rain, few people can see clearly. It's just the duty of a courtier.

The moment they walked into the Great Treasure Hall side by side, Helan Minzhi happened to pass by Xue Rengui's side. Even if the sound of wind and rain was so loud, he could still clearly hear the heavy sigh of this commanding battlefield general. It gives people a sense of relief and refreshment.

I couldn't help but smile secretly in my heart, it turns out that these long-famous generals will also have so much pressure. But of course, none of this can be shown, and he continues to walk towards the Great Treasure Hall with a serious face.

The eunuch and palace maid here should have gotten the news a long time ago, the freshly boiled ginger soup was already on the table, and there was a palace maid who led Li Zhiwu and Wu Shun Minyue to different halls to change clothes, and a little eunuch took Helan Minzhi to another hall. It's strange that there are their own clothes here. (To be continued.) )
