On the third day, when the dark red sun set on the western mountain, a touch of afterglow reflected the red sky, and a gust of autumn wind swept up the withered yellow willow leaves on the edge of Weishui, and then scattered them in the road.

A sound of horses' hooves came from afar, the carriage made a piercing creak, and suddenly, I saw a lieutenant in leather armor riding a maroon war horse, walking slowly, behind him was nearly two hundred infantry, in the middle was a prisoner cart made of pear wood, in the prisoner cart a burly man squatted inside, wearing a heavy flail, and there were many scars on his face that had scabbed, but he looked resolute, and did not lose his general nature because he was a prisoner.

Seeing the post station, the captain shouted, "The post station ahead, rest for the night, and leave tomorrow morning!" ”

Outside the post station, Sun Yicheng, who had already received the news, led the post station handymen to wait outside the post station. When he saw the captain, he hurried to greet him.

"The villain has seen Captain Zhu!" Sun Yicheng bowed his hand, and the miscellaneous servants fell to the ground.

Captain Zhu's face was a little vicious, he squinted his eyes, and asked sharply, "Can the soldiers' meals be prepared?" ”

Sun Yicheng hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm ready, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Captain Zhu glared and said, "Okay, just serve a pot of dog food to the prisoner." ”

Sun Yicheng's face was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and said: "The villain knows, the villain knows, the captain please!" ”

Lieutenant Zhu and the two brigade marshals entered the special public guest room, and when they saw that the wine and food were placed on the table, they smiled, and the handymen standing on the side hurriedly served.

Helping to light the fire in the kitchen was a peasant woman with thick eyebrows, and broth was burning in the pot. She wiped her sweat and looked a little sad.

At this time, the handymen who helped in the kitchen had gone out to serve the military masters, and the cooks kept moving. Then he lifted the lid of the pot, sprinkled a handful of salt, and said to the peasant woman: "When the firewood is almost done, you can serve the soup, but don't eat it secretly, otherwise you will be found and break your legs." ”

With that, he hurried out. Looks like I'm going to the latrine.

The peasant woman smiled strangely, her eyes narrowed into crescents, and she looked left and right. Then he took out a large paper bag from the pocket of the cloth skirt, opened the lid of the pot, and then opened the paper bag, only to see that the paper bag was white powder. It's kind of like sweat medicine. The woman muttered, "Flip you." Behold you shouting and drinking at me. ”

The peasant woman is Yan Ruyu, who is dressed up in makeup, and she has been angry at the post station in the past two days. After pouring all the sweat medicine into the broth, he picked up a long spoon and stirred it.

"Girl, don't drink it!"

A woman's voice came from behind her, and when Yan Ruyu heard it, she knew that it was a peasant woman who was doing miscellaneous labor for her father at this post station. She turned around and smiled, "Just taste it, no one knows anyway." ”

The girl wanted to speak, but Yan Ruyu saw her anxious look. Then he said, "Okay, okay, just don't taste it." The broth in this pot is ready. Serve them to them. ”

Then he went out of the kitchen angrily and walked towards the stable. There was a bag of croton under the pile of horse material, and when I walked into the stable, I saw that there were a lot of horses in this station, but unfortunately they were not good horses. looked left and right, there was no one, so he immediately wrung up the bag of croton and poured it into the manger, and after doing this, Yan Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief, everything that should have been done was done, just waiting for them to act.

"The broth is here, please use it slowly, generals!"

Captain Zhu laughed, then let people fill the bowl, and said, "Both, this broth can't be eaten in the gods, do you know what kind of meat this is?" ”

The two brigade commanders were very curious and asked, "What meat?" ”

Captain Zhu said mysteriously: "Sue you, this is Sun Yicheng's filial piety to us, it is donkey meat!" This is something that can only be eaten in these places. Brother, dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat in the ground, don't miss it! ”

Immediately, Zhu Lieutenant grabbed the donkey meat and chewed it, and the two brigade commanders saw that the captain was eating so comfortably, and they also fished a big piece of it.

In the courtyard, the soldiers were chewing heavily, but there was a crockpot in the prisoner's car, and in the crockpot was a black and slimy thing, and the black teeth often smelled, and a foul smell penetrated his nostrils, and he was nauseated. He hasn't eaten for three days, he doesn't know what he's done wrong, it's going to be this kind of end, he's a little disappointed, those rebellion letters are obviously framed, but no one dares to speak for himself, what's wrong with this country, what's wrong with the court?

Hei Tooth Changzhi felt a little chilled, he knew that it was too hungry, but I was afraid that the contents of the crockpot would not be eaten by dogs. But he was so hungry in his belly that he wanted to live to see the queen mother behind the gods. So, he stretched out a pair of bloodstained hands and reached into the crockpot.

Poof!

After a few sounds, the black tooth Changzhi looked up and saw that the soldiers who were drinking and eating meat in the courtyard fell to the ground one by one, outside the post station, I don't know who shouted, "The bandits are coming, flee!" ”

The handymen were all locals, and they knew that there were several bandits nearby, so they ran out of the post station in a panic, and by this time, the post man and several small officials had already fallen to the ground.

But in a moment, suddenly a whistle sounded, and eight black-clothed people suddenly flashed outside the post station, and their bodies were extremely athletic, only to see a peasant woman come out of the guest room, and go straight to the prisoner car.

But apparently he was wrong, and the peasant woman opened the prisoner's cart, and then opened the shackles, and ordered: "Come and help me!" ”

The two men in black took the black-toothed Changzhi out of the prisoner cart and ran towards the outside of the post station.

Yan Ruyu commanded in a low voice: "Slaughter the dogs outside the wall and throw them into Weishui to feed the fish!" ”

Two men in black took the order. Blacktooth Chang was shocked and asked, "Why did you save me?" Hijacking a court prisoner car is a big crime, do you know? ”

Yan Ruyu's eyes suddenly sank, and a punch hit the back of the head of the black tooth Changzhi, the black tooth Changzhi fainted with a light snort, and the two black-clothed people carried the black tooth Changzhi to the boat that had been prepared by the Weishui River.

But in a moment, two black-clothed men ran with four corpses, and then threw them into the river, then paddled the wooden pulp, and went down the Weishui, which was turbulent and could not sail after arriving in Qinzhou. Therefore, it is necessary to take a horse-drawn carriage instead, which is also to make the pursuers think that they are taking the land route.

When the news reached Shendu, it was already seven days later. Because there were weaver girls who Yan Ruyu had arranged long ago waiting to block the messenger on the way, it would be so late. At this time, Yan Ruyu and others had already left Tongguan and entered the Yellow River, and there were already people along the way.

At this time, Hei Yan was often dressed in cloth, but he couldn't see anything strange, and he finally figured it out in the past few days. Since he was rescued, he can at least live incognito, although he really wants to serve the country loyally. But thinking of the rampant cruelty of the court, the queen mother listened to the villain's slander and killed the courtiers and the clan, and so on. He was discouraged. But these are the women who saved themselves. But who is behind this? After asking many times, it became clear that these women would not speak. Let him understand that the person who saved him must be an ordinary person, and even these women are wearing makeup, and they can't see their true colors at all.

A few days of chicken, duck and fish meat made him completely free from the dilemma of hunger, and he never wanted to try it again when he thought of that black and slimy thing.

At each ferry, they changed to another one. Or a building boat, or a fishing boat. Or painting boats, in short, there are all kinds of things, and it wasn't until Yangzhou went to sea that he understood that this was going to sea.

It was a little surprising to see that the peasant girl was now dressed as a young girl, and it seemed that she was the leader of the group.

"This girl, is this going to sea?" Blacktooth asked.

Yan Ruyu said in a low voice: "Well, I want to go to sea, but don't worry, your family has arrived in Jeju and will be reunited with you in a few days." ”

The first time he heard that his family members were also picked up, Hei Tooth Changzhi suddenly became happy, what he had been worried about was his family members, and now that he was rescued, he was naturally overjoyed.

"Thank you, girl!" Black Tooth Changzhi bowed deeply.

Yan Ruyu said with a smile: "If you want to thank you, you can do more things for the master in the future, of course, it's okay for you to leave at this moment." ”

Hei Tooth Chang was stunned, his face was a little stern, and he arched his hand and said: "Hei Tooth Changzhi's life was saved by the girl, the girl said so, let Hei Tooth deal with himself." The girl has orders, and a certain family will never refuse. ”

Yan Ruyu knew the temper of these generals, and she couldn't be provoked the most, so she smiled and said: "When the time comes, the general will know, and please go to the cargo hold to rest, you will encounter many merchant ships along the way, don't reveal your identity." ”

The black tooth Changzhi naturally agreed, and went into the cabin, and when he saw a jar of sake on the desk, he couldn't help laughing three times, and drank wildly. In a moment, he fell drunk in the cargo hold.

A few days later, the ships arrived in the Ryukyus.

Yan Ruyu took out a silver mask and said to the black-toothed Changzhi: "Since the general wants to go to the island, then ask the general to wear this mask and change his name." ”

Hei Fang was often stunned, but then understood, smiled bitterly, took the mask, looked at it, and said, "Since it is a mask made of silver, it should be called 'Silver Soul'!" ”

Then he put on a mask. Yan Ruyu and the others also put on masks, but they were black, and they didn't know what they were made of.

On the island, he was guided to a city wall about seven or eight zhang high, and Gintama was very curious about what such a high city wall was for, there were countless holes in the wall, and the head of the wall was a jagged lookout, on which were placed large bed crossbows and catapults. He saw that the soldiers were guarding the fortress in and out, and he couldn't help but wonder, what kind of place was this?

But at this time, can he ask, since he wants to send someone under the fence, what difference does it make if he doesn't ask?

In the secret room, Yan Ruyu came to this secret room hidden deep underground.

"I've seen the Jade Hairpin Envoy." A man in black bowed.

Yan Ruyu smiled lightly and said, "You are Eagle No. 1, I can't afford to be your gift." ”

No one knew Yan Ruyu's identity, so Eagle No. 1 was still very respectful and said, "What instructions does the Lord have?" ”

Yan Ruyu said: "Instructions, that is, to give the silver soul a position of commander first, you know that the lord values the silver soul very much, don't do something that makes the lord unhappy, understand?" Eagle No. 4 and No. 7 are examples of this. ”

"Number One understands."

Yan Ruyu said: "You bring all the accounts in the past few days and ask your people to strengthen their guards." ”

"Yes, I'll do it." Eagle One bowed and walked out.

Yan Ruyu looked at this secret room and walked into her bedroom.

Luoyang, the capital of the gods.

After the Empress Dowager Wu heard that the prisoner's car had been hijacked, she couldn't help but be furious and ordered the Weizhou Assassin to arrest the mountain bandits within a time limit. Black-toothed sea fishing documents are often found in all states and counties.

Although Empress Dowager Wu was furious, her mind was not yet on Hei Yan Changzhi. However, it also reminded Empress Dowager Wu that someone might secretly rob the prison. Therefore, Empress Dowager Wu specially approved the construction of a new prison prison in Lijingmen. and sent additional guards. In the future, all the prisoners escorted into Beijing were escorted to no less than 1,000 soldiers, and whoever lost the prisoners was beheaded by the whole team.

Soon, the Yuzhou rebellion case of the clan continued to implicate six members of the clan including Zheng Wang and Li Pu, the heirs of the Ezhou assassins, and were immediately executed. And Li Xiuqi, the heir of Teng, the king of Teng, and other six people were interceded by Princess Taiping, and finally exiled to Lingnan without death.

After Zhang Guangfu was beheaded. Feng Ge is a young prime minister, so he worships Fan Lubing, the official Shangshu of Chun, and Xing Wenwei, the squire of Feng Ge, as a peaceful chapter and participates in the deliberations of the political hall.

As for Wuqing. It is very busy, not only to manage Yu Linwei's year-end school exam, but also to train thousands of horses, and thousands of horses will be finally inspected by Wuqing. After the martial arts evaluation. After the five Lang generals, the brigade commander, the team leader, and the fire commander were all arranged, it was a three-month intensive training, because it was a recruit egg, so Wu Qing had to train in person. So every day he held a leather whip in one hand and directed the training of recruits with the other.

November 1. Empress Dowager Wu feasted in the deep palace of Vientiane and announced an amnesty to the world. Change the beginning of the yuan, use the Zhou system to build a child, November is the first year of the first year of January, that is, this month is the first month, and the New Year begins!

According to Confucianism, Xia, Shang, and Zhou each inherited the mandate of heaven, and the orthodoxy inherited each other, and all established Zhengshuo to express the will of heaven. Moreover, it is believed that Xia Zheng is the Yin of January, Shang Zheng is the ugly of December, and Zhou Zheng is the son of November, which is also the theory of the three unifications.

After experiencing auspiciousness from all sides, worshipping Luoshui, receiving Luoshu, and destroying the clan, it is now moving towards what Wu Chengsi said, "The Wu family should have the world".

In short, the second day of the Lunar New Year does not need to go to the court, but he must worship his ancestors, and now the ancestor worship is presided over by the Empress Dowager Wu, so he can only go to the imperial city.

Seeing Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi, Wu Yizong, Wu Youyi and others showing their hateful faces, Wu Qing couldn't wait to beat him, it was very cool to seek a dynasty to usurp the throne, and he might not be able to keep a low profile. It is said that after Wu Sansi became the official Shangshu of Chun, he had already prepared the title of the king of all martial arts, and was just waiting for that day. Of course, this was told by Wu Qing's secret agent who broke into Wu Sansi's mansion.

After the sacrifice was completed, Wu Qing returned to the house, because Princess Taiping was about to give birth, and since she was by her side, she had to accompany her.

Wu Qing walked into the house, but found that people in the peony garden were in and out, and immediately felt that something was wrong, and when he stepped into the peony garden, he heard the cry of a baby.

Jiang Chuchen came out sweaty, saw Wu Qing, and said with a smile: "You are here, the child has also been born, go and have a look." ”

Wu Qing said distressedly: "It's really hard for you, go and rest." ”

"Okay, okay, that's long-winded." Jiang Chuchen pushed Wu Qing into the room.

After Wu Qing entered the room, he saw Ning Xiang and Ning Qiu waiting in front of the princess's bed, and a baby in the arms of Princess Taiping. Taiping smiled when he saw Wu Qing coming in.

Wu Qing sat on the edge of the bed, took his hand, and said, "I've worked hard for you, this is the last one, and I won't let you work hard." ”

Taiping was stunned for a moment, and complained: "You will let me stay alive and widowed in the future?" ”

Wu Qing smiled: "Who dares, you tigress." "Take Taiping's hand, put it on his face, and feel the delicacy.

When Taiping saw Wu Qing like this, he knew that he had something on his mind, and said, "Don't you have a horse, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Wu Qing nodded, and then ordered Xiangning to hold the child to the nurse, and then lay down beside Princess Taiping, and a milky fragrance suddenly entered her nose.

Lying down too calmly, he said, "If you have anything on your mind, just say it, let me give you a staff officer." ”

Wu Qing said: "You went to the palace to ask the God Emperor, this is a very dangerous thing. Do you know? ”

Princess Taiping was stunned, she also knew that it was very dangerous, but at that time, seeing that those cool officials didn't even let go of a ten-year-old child, how could she bear it!

"If you weren't pregnant with a child, I'm afraid you would be in danger, I know you are the most favored daughter, but you also know that even if you are pampered, it is difficult to play a role in this situation. I don't want to lose you, and I don't want to leave our children without a mother because of you. You know, there are some things that can't be stopped, so why not let it be? ”

Wu Qing actually wanted to teach Princess Taiping a lesson, he found that Princess Taiping was secretly contacting some old ministers, did she think that the Queen Mother didn't find out? Look at those important ministers, those prime ministers, it's not that they will kill if they are killed, and they will be degraded if they are degraded.

Princess Taiping could feel the anger between Wu Qing's words, but she couldn't help but feel a little relieved in her heart, he still cared about herself.

In the Lijing Hall of Taichu Palace, Empress Dowager Wu looked at the performance from Zhou Xing, the secretary of the Shaoqing, and asked her to eliminate the membership of the Li Tang clan, Empress Dowager Wu thought about it and said to Shangguan Wan'er: "This sparse will stay for the time being." ”

Shangguan Wan'er took it and put it in the box on the side.

Empress Dowager Wu picked up the Fengge Squire Zong Qinke's recital, Zong Qinke is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Wu, and he was able to rise to this position, but he was also stained with the light of his relatives, although he was not in the Jinshi, but he had a genius, and he gave twelve words to the God Emperor, these twelve words were very strange, one of which was the word "Cao", which made Empress Dowager Wu very satisfied. Split it up, it is the sun and the moon shining in the sky!

"Wan'er, Zong Qinke's recital is going to be sent immediately. My name was changed to a book, and the edict was changed to a book. Empress Dowager Wu smiled, finally finding a suitable name.

Shangguan Wan'er took a look, then congratulated her, and then wrote a note and ordered someone to take it to be drafted.

Next, it is the recital of the great monk Xue Huaiyi, the Empress Dowager Wu was stunned, this person who has no ink on his chest also has a recital? After opening it and looking at it, I couldn't help but smile.

Since the vertical arch four years in the water Derui stone, engraved "Buddha from the sky, the top of the Mo for the award, the light house four days, eight tables at one time" and other languages, Xue Huaiyi always wanted to make some auspicious for the Empress Dowager Wu in this aspect of the Buddha. So after discussing with the Empress Dowager Wu at the bedside, she began to gather the monks of the White Horse Temple and other famous temples to rummage through the scriptures in the White Horse Temple to find the "female protagonist in the lower realm".

Finally, the hard work paid off, and in the "Great Cloud Sutra", he found the prediction in the scripture that when the pure light heavenly girl was born, she gave up the heavenly form, and the heroine was the king, and she got a quarter of the place under the command of the wheel king. At this time, she was a bodhisattva, and she appeared as a woman in order to transform sentient beings

In short, in the Buddhist scriptures, I found the goddess of the world, so that the Empress Dowager Wu was overjoyed, and the heaven was cultivated, and the Buddha statue of the Empress Dowager Wu was shaped in heaven, and Xue Huaiyi was worshiped as the general of the right guard and was named the Duke of Hubei. He also ordered Xue Huaiyi to convene the monks and preside over the compilation of the "Great Cloud Sutra". So Xue Huaiyi summoned Fa Ming and other senior monks of the Eastern Wei State Temple to begin compiling the "Great Cloud Sutra", preparing to dedicate it to the Empress Dowager Wu.
