Wu Zetian said: "Third sister, you tell the truth, who asked you to intercede for Tang Lin?" ”

Wu Yueniang said: "No one! I just thought he was good, so I proposed. Isn't the emperor's brother-in-law about to recruit talents from all over the world? I think he just is, he shouldn't be buried! ”

"That's it! It's just us sisters here, you still want to lie to me? ”

Wu Yueniang pouted: "How can you say that I lied to you?" ”

"It's very simple, you are not the kind of person who is socially minded and worried about the country and the people, we have no dealings with Tang Lin, and we can't intercede for him to be degraded. You have always done things with a purpose, and you will never do anything without a purpose. And this Tang Lin used to be an honest official and had no family wealth, so it is unlikely that he bribed you. He is also a bearded man with a family, so naturally you will not take a fancy to him. Therefore, there is only one possibility for others to trust each other. And, if my sister guesses right, it should be a young man you love! Right? ”

Wu Yueniang's pretty face flushed: "Sister! What are you talking about? What kind of man to love? I don't! ”

"We are sisters, what kind of person you are, sister knows too well. You just praised Tang Lin as a foolish thing, just wanted to move me, and if you didn't make you talk so much, if it wasn't for the person who made you tempted, you wouldn't have made so much effort. - Who's this young man? What is the relationship between him and Tang Lin? Is it his nephew? I haven't heard of any outstanding juniors in the Tang family. ”

Wu Yueniang knew that her sister's shrewdness was not something she could deceive at all. Therefore, she had no choice but to hang her head with a red face and reply shyly: "No! It's an ugly ...... named Xiao Dalang."

"Xiao Dalang? What for? ”

The last time Wu Yueniang came back, she blamed the reason for not obtaining the immortal fruit on the intervention of the Heavenly Supreme and Heim Lao and others, as well as the volcanic eruption on the island, the strong corroded lake, and so on. But there was no mention of Xiao Jiading, who covered up his true face. So Wu Zetian didn't know.

And now, Wu Yueniang found that lying couldn't deceive her sister Wu Zetian, at the same time. Since Xiao Dalang is still alive, she has to tell her sister, because the two parties still have a marriage contract, which is a number of witnesses, and she already has the shadow of Xiao Dalang in her heart, she does things recklessly, she just wants to disclose this matter and let her sister know, as for what will happen later. She didn't think about it. So, she told everything as it was, including the fact that she ordered Xiao Jiading to crush their ship with a boat, and ordered to shoot them to death with arrows, and then said that Xiao Jiading repaid their grievances with virtue, and in turn took their lives several times, as well as the matter that Changsun Yan and others forcibly drove away the iron tree boat. In the end, the conditions of Xiao Jiading, which the eldest grandson Yanran said, were also said.

Wu Zetian listened without saying a word, and looked at his sister. said: "You tell the truth, do you like this ugly monster?" ”

"Who likes him anymore?" Wu Yueniang was a little shy, "I don't know what he looks like, I promised him to marry at that time." It is only for the expediency of life, and it is impossible to count. However, since I agreed, I didn't want to break the contract without doing anything. He put forward this condition, and if he can do it, isn't that the best of both worlds? ”

"If you really like him. That sister will have an arrangement, and if you don't like him, her sister will have a different arrangement. So you have to tell the truth. ”

Looking at Wu Zetian's perceptive gaze, Wu Yueniang lowered her head, her cheeks turned red with shame, and she nodded almost imperceptibly for a while.

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "Since that's the case, you let him come to see me, I want to see if he can be worthy of my sister." ”

Wu Yueniang shook her head gloomily: "I also said so, but he said that he would not show up unless he could complete this matter and was willing to fulfill the marriage contract." Otherwise, it's not interesting to meet. ”

"Hmm." Wu Zetian thought for a while, "Within three days, my sister will ask the emperor to issue an order to reinstate Tang Linguan, and I will let him remember this kindness on your ugly bastard." Let Tang Lin be grateful to him, this can be regarded as a reward for him saving your life. As for your marriage contract, let him come to me, and only after the meeting can he decide whether to keep it or not. ”

Wu Yueniang was overjoyed, hugged Wu Zetian and kissed her: "Thank you, sister!" ”

Three days later.

Dali Temple Qing Yuan Shao and Yu Shi Zhongcheng Jia Minxing were called to their home by Prime Minister Sun Wuji. The two came to the eldest grandson's mansion one after another, sat and waited in the flower hall, not knowing what the purpose of the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly and urgently called the two of them over.

The two sat in the flower hall, the eldest grandson Wuji had not yet appeared, and the two of them did not dare to discuss in private, although both of them were high-ranking officials of the imperial court, but in the eldest grandson Wuji, they were still so nervous that they didn't dare to come out.

After a long time, the eldest grandson Wuji appeared, with a gloomy face, pacing over with square steps, and did not say hello, so he sat down cross-legged on the soft collapse, and waited for the two to sit down with a sneer, he squinted at the two of them, and said: "The emperor just issued an order to transfer Tang Lin to be the secretary of the criminal department." ”

Both were taken aback. Cheng Jia Min said cautiously: "When the emperor ascended the throne, the prime minister wanted to dispose of this Tang Lin, but the emperor preemptively demoted him to Yizhou, and now he has been reinstated, what is the emperor's intention?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji groaned and said: "The emperor is cowardly by nature, he knows that I don't like Tang Lin, he demoted Tang Lin at the beginning, and it is not easy for me to continue to deal with him, but after only one year, the emperor reinstated him as an official, and it is the time when I want to rectify Li Ke, the king of Shu." There must be something strange in it! ”

"yes." Cheng Jia Min hurriedly echoed, "Someone should be giving the emperor an idea in the back." Otherwise, with the character of the emperor, it would have been absolutely impossible to make such a decision. ――Who is this man? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "It doesn't matter who proposed to him, the important thing is that the emperor's purpose in promoting Tang Lin must be for the sake of the King of Shu and their affairs, and he wants to make a fuss about the Eight Discussions, so as to save the lives of Li Ke's brothers." This one is absolutely not going to work! These two people, I am the one who will kill! ”

Yuan Shao and the others were full of murderous aura when they heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, revealing an extraordinary domineering aura, and they couldn't help but feel stunned all over their bodies, and they didn't dare to say it again.

The eldest grandson Wuji paused, and then said: "I called you here today to discuss how you should speak during the eight discussions in the court." I'll say hello to the others, too. No matter what, these two people must not be allowed to slip through the net and live! ”

Yuan Shao and the others hurriedly got up and saluted: "Humble duty and obey the prime minister's orders." ”

Almost at the same time.

The eldest grandson Yanran came to Xiao Jiading's residence and met in the back garden. Without waiting for intimacy, he happily announced the news: "The emperor has just given an order. Let Tang Linguan be reinstated! ”

Although Xiao Jiading had known this result from history for a long time, he was still very surprised, after all, this is the history that has been changed through his own hands. After Tang Lin was arrested by Li Ke, the king of Shu, he had been ordered to return to Yizhou and not to stay in the capital. So the announcement is going to Yizhou, and it will take a while to go back and forth.

Seeing Xiao Jiading smile, the eldest grandson Yanran stopped smiling again, pouted and said, "You, Wu Yueniang said." Her sister wants to see you before she can decide whether to marry her to you. - Are you going to see them? ”

"Go! Why not? I've never been to the palace before, so I'd love to see it. ”

Eldest Sun Yanran's small mouth pursed even higher: "If you want to see the palace, I can take you there!" Why go with them? You clearly want to marry her! Hum! ”

Xiao Jiading stopped her in his arms, kissed her, and said, "Silly girl, how many sides do you want me to say, I can't ...... anyone except you."

Just said that. The gentle smile on his face suddenly froze, because he felt an incomparably powerful coercion enveloping his whole body. Just move yourself. will be squeezed into slag.

Xiao Jiading slowly let go of the eldest grandson Yanran, and said slowly: "Who is Your Excellency?" Why hide and hide when you're here? ”

From behind the rockery in the garden of the eldest grandson Yan and then slowly turned out an old man with silver hair. The three long silver-white strands of hair floated gracefully on his chest, and although his face was full of wrinkles, his face was full of red light. Spirited. Judging by the appearance, it is not possible to tell how old it is.

Xiao Jiading's heart was even more chilling, this person didn't know when he sneaked into his side quietly, and he didn't feel his existence until now, if he sneaked attacked, he was afraid that he would have died a hundred times.

The eldest grandson Yanran turned her head and saw it, and called out in surprise: "Master! He jumped up and grabbed the old man's hand, and said with a smile: "Why are you here?" ”

Xiao Jiading was suddenly relieved in his heart, it turned out that this person was Long Jiuxiao, who won the title of the first in the world of martial arts. Then it's no wonder that he was bullied into his side and didn't notice it.

Xiao Jiading hurriedly came up and arched his hand: "Meet Old Man Long." ”

Long Jiuxiao didn't have a smile on his face, and said to the eldest grandson Yanran: "Yanran, you quit, I have a few words to say to him." ”

The eldest grandson Yanran hurriedly said: "Master, he is the ugly monster who saved the life of the apprentice on Xianguo Island......

"I know by now, I want to know more. You go out first. Don't worry, Master won't embarrass him. Long Jiuxiao's voice was still so majestic, but with a kind of love.

The eldest grandson Yanran had no choice but to nod and said to Xiao Jiading: "Xiao Lang, I'll go out first, and you can talk to the master." ”

Xiao Jiading nodded, smiled slightly, and didn't say much.

The eldest grandson Yanran walked out of the backyard and closed the courtyard door.

Xiao Jiading had already seen that Long Jiuxiao's intentions were not good, so the smile on his face slowly disappeared. With your hands behind your back, wait for the other person to speak.

Long Jiuxiao said: "I have three questions for you, and you'd better answer them truthfully." ”

Xiao Jiading did not speak.

"First question, who are you? Who is your master? Where do you live? Who else? ”

"I'm sorry, Old Man Long, there are four questions in total, and you said you only asked three."

"Answer!" Long Jiuxiao's voice became even more gloomy.

Xiao Jiading frowned, and then said slowly: "My name is Xiao Jiading, also called Xiao Dalang, and my family is in Yizhou." There is no one else in the house. As for my master, I don't have to tell you. ”

Long Jiuxiao slowly raised his hand, and in an instant, his palm had turned bright silver, and a wave of energy rose. He said word by word: "Answer truthfully!" - I won't repeat it a second time, no matter who you are! ”

Xiao Jiading's pupils shrank into a pintip, and he took a step back, facing the number one super master in the world of martial arts, he didn't dare to take it lightly, his whole body was full of strength, and his clothes were suddenly like sails full of wind power, swelling up, and the clothes were hunting, and the whole body was covered with a layer of faint energy.

Xiao Jiading said slowly: "I am not threatened by others, - I will not repeat it a second time!" It doesn't matter who he is! ”

Long Jiuxiao seemed to be stunned by Xiao Jiading's answer, and his eyes that radiated essence became even more murderous: "The old man will let you kneel down first and then ask you!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Long Jiuxiao's slightly thin body had already risen into the air, and his right hand was flat and slowly shot towards Xiao Jiading.

The slower the speed, the greater the energy contained in the back, Xiao Jiading snorted, retreated half a step, and a shallow footprint suddenly appeared on the bluestone slab ground, with a spider web-like crack on the exterior.

Step on the feet, turn the body, palm, all in one go. The right palm quickly drew a few strange gestures, and with a whistling sound, a terrifying white wave of qi was drawn, and it struck out against Long Jiuxiao's single palm. The roar in my heart also sounded: "Wave Chasing Fist!" ”

Seeing Xiao Jiading's punch, Long Jiuxiao's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and an angry cold snort erupted from his nostrils, and one of his hands in the air suddenly changed, and the silver-white energy swirled, turning into three serpentine arcs, crackling and flickering.

"Whew!"

There was no loud sound of powerful energy colliding, only a soft sound like a hot steel inserted into cold water, and he obviously saw his fist hitting the opponent's palm, but Xiao Jiading felt that his strength did not have any point of focus, as if a punch was in the air.

He secretly screamed that it was not good, and at this moment, the three arcs of electricity flashed along Xiao Jiading's arm, and in the blink of an eye, they flashed through his whole body, and when he just woke up, they had disappeared into his knees.

Xiao Jiading's sail-like clothes, which were originally full of wind power, were not damaged, but quickly deflated. The defensive power that covered his whole body also dimmed in an instant, and he was almost invisible. At the same time, his body felt a pain like a marrow extraction, and his muscles and veins seemed to be scorched.

As the flash disappeared on his knees, his legs instantly lost their strength, unable to support the weight of his body, as soon as his legs were weak, he was about to kneel, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and his left palm slapped to the ground, and a powerful and incomparable force surged out from his fist, bang, hitting the ground, pushing his body upside down.

In the air, he roared angrily in his heart: "Spirit Tortoise Shield!" ”

His mind was running rapidly, and an invisible aura flew up from the dantian, quickly extending throughout his body, immediately repairing the meridians around his body that seemed to be damaged by the invisible arc of electricity, and the strength of his knees was instantly restored. Landing gently, as steady as Mount Tai. (To be continued......)
