When Wu Zetian met Wu Houxing the day before yesterday, he knew that he was extremely weak, but he didn't expect that he would be so weak that he could die if he slipped, and he was so sad in his heart that he had to order: "Come on, carry the body out of the palace and pretend to be there, and send it back to Taiyuan hometown for burial as soon as possible!" ”

The little eunuch left in a hurry carrying Wu Houxing's corpse, and at this moment, seeing that the palace gate was about to be locked, and the corpse was unlucky to be parked in the palace, so it had to be transported out quickly. The little eunuch carried the body to the Xuanwu Gate, and was carried out by the forbidden army guarding the palace gate.

During Wu Zetian's understanding of what happened and dealing with the aftermath, Xie Xiaoman was forced to be calm, and his heart was always like a deer crashing, peeking to look at Yang Fan, but seeing his calm expression, Xiaoman couldn't help but secretly admire: "This guy has a bold heart, and he can be so calm in front of the Queen Mother." ”

Yang Fan had seen murder at the age of nine, and at the age of thirteen, he followed his senior brother to kill people, at that time he led the troops into the mountains with his senior brother to quell the rebellion, and there were dozens of rebels who died in his hands. In Luoyang, he had slaughtered a few enemies with his own hands, and his psychological quality naturally had nothing to say.

Although Wu Zetian's field is very powerful, Yang Fan has been getting along with bearded guests since he was a child, and the aura of that generation of heroes is not something that ordinary people can bear, Yang Fan has been with him for many years and has long been used to it. In this regard, Xiaoman is indeed inferior to him, Xiaoman has been taken in by Aunt Xie since he was a child, and he was trained as a guard, not an assassin.

Although Xiaoman has also killed people, they are all from Wu Zetian's will, and this person is the ruler of the entire empire, so she naturally has a natural feeling of taking it for granted psychologically. But at this moment, it was the opposite, the person she killed was the nephew of this woman who could decide the life and death of the world in one word, and of course she was afraid.

When Wu Zetian ordered the corpse to be carried out of the palace, Xie Xiaoman's tense mood relaxed.

Yang Fan and Xie Xiaoman withdrew from the main hall, glanced at each other, and did not say a word.

The area of the castle on the west side of Miyagi is not small, and most of the guards and samurai live in it. Xie Xiaoman's residence was also in Jiacheng, and the two walked together all the way, speechless for a long time. After walking for a long time, Xie Xiaoman took his steps, lowered his head slightly, and said softly to Yang Fan: "Xiexie you." ”

Yang Fan smiled and said, "No thanks." ”

Xie Xiaoman pursed his lips, raised his eyes slightly, and asked curiously, "This matter is not trivial." Why are you so willing to help me so much? ”

Yang Fan said: "Helping people, must there be a reason?" ”

Xie Xiaoman said: "If you save that little girl like Shangyuan Night, of course you don't need a reason. But this time, ......, I can't see that you are a righteous ranger? ”

Yang Fan said: "Okay! Actually, it's because of ....... I don't think it's worth it for you to pay for such a person! ”

Xie Xiaoman stared at him quietly for a long time, and a smile gradually bloomed on his lips: "You are not bad!" ”

Yang Fan blinked and said, "Don't you say that I'm a disciple who attracts bees and butterflies?" ”

Xie Xiaoman's face turned red and said, "Actually." I also know you're not that bad. ”

She bit her lip and said, "It's one thing for you to be kind to me, I still have to say about this matter, Gong'e are all hard-working people, and this palace city is like a big cage, trapped in it." If they don't move, it's better if they don't move, otherwise the days will be even more miserable. Moreover, once something really ugly happens, you and they will be killed. ”

Yang Fan couldn't help but laugh when he saw that she was quite serious. After hearing what she said, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you think ...... Am I seducing those palace ladies? ”

Xie Xiaoman looked at him with big black and white eyes. In a very strange tone, he said: "Do you think that what other meaning can you mean by acting like that?" ”

Yang Fan said helplessly: "Big sister! You ...... "...,

"I'm older than you?"

"Girl, you ......"

"You still call me Captain Xie!"

"Duwei Xie, let me tell you the truth, in fact, those girls are extremely bored and take the initiative to get tired of me."

Xie Xiaoman sighed lightly and said, "Loyalty, if you don't listen to my advice, forget it." Anyway, I have already transferred you to Wucheng Palace, and I will watch you in the future, so you won't be able to play any tricks. I can tell you in advance that the Wucheng Hall is the place where the Queen of Heaven is located, and the rules are very big. ”

Yang Fan saw that she didn't believe her words at all, and she was not depressed.

Those palace ladies are smarter than the other, in front of Xie Xiaoman, they are all like well-behaved little white rabbits, how could Xie Xiaoman believe what Yang Fan said, Yang Fan had to sigh helplessly and said: "Little man girl, I am your savior!" ”

Xie Xiaoman replied seriously: "Your kindness, Xiaoman remembers it in his heart, and if he has the opportunity, I will definitely repay you!" But I can't sit back and watch you do whatever you do just because you've been kind to me! Besides, it's not a good thing for you that I'm doing that. ”

Yang Fan spread his hands and said: "Do you know that you are so wishful thinking, you don't believe my explanation at all, I'm very depressed!" ”

Xie Xiaoman chuckled: "Okay, don't pretend!" Anyway, you are not allowed to do anything too out of the ordinary. ”

At this time, a lantern turned from the corner of the hall, and the lantern was the little palace sapling of Wucheng Palace, the sapling of the tree was carrying the lantern, wearing a palace skirt, and the steps were brisk, like a happy flower butterfly.

"Oh, who's here, it's a scare!"

Shu Xiaomiao hurriedly zhanzhu, patted his chest, and after seeing that it was Yang Fan and Xie Xiaoman standing opposite each other, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Captain Xie!" Second Brother Yang! Well, you ......."

The tree sapling glanced at the two of them, and his eyes warmed.

Xie Xiaoman explained: "I was about to go back to my residence to rest. He happened to be on the same path as me. ”

"Oh! Yes, yes, Xiao Miao understands, hehehe, it's just the same way, it's just the same way......"

Shu Xiaomiao nodded with a smile, Xie Xiaoman looked like she was afraid that she wouldn't believe her, she was also afraid that Xie Xiaoman wouldn't believe her, Yang Fan stood aside and watched, a little unbearable.

"Ah, Duwei Xie, Second Brother Yang, people still want to go back to Wucheng Hall to be on duty, so I will leave first!"

Shu Xiaomiao carried her skirt, squatted down to them prettyly, and walked past them, Xie Xiaoman clearly saw that the moment she flashed past the two of them, she gently stuck out her tongue.

Xie Xiaoman was very depressed, but she didn't know how to explain it, she was depressed and was about to leave, when she suddenly heard a wisp of muttering like a mosquito and a fly floating in the distance: "No wonder Xie Duwei is so fierce to me, I have to transfer the second brother to Wucheng Hall to watch, it turns out that this is the case......"

Shu Xiaomiao's self-muffling voice was not loud, but Xie Xiaoman and Yang Fan's ears were very good, so the two of them could hear it clearly.

I see!

What was it?

Xie Xiaoman turned around suddenly, as if he wanted to catch up and explain to Shu Xiaomiao, and thinking that this kind of thing was simply getting darker and darker, he could only stomp his feet hatefully and walk forward angrily, her two long legs shook off, and she walked really fast. Yang Fan immediately hurried to catch up and walk beside her.

The two of them walked without saying a word for a long time, and Xie Xiaoman suddenly glanced at him and said, "What are you laughing at!" ”

Yang Fan said: "How can I laugh? ”

Xie Xiaoman said angrily: "Your eyebrows, eyes, mouth, and nose are obviously laughing, do you have to laugh out loud to laugh?" ”

Yang Fan said leisurely: "Someone finally realized the depressed feeling I just had, I can't think of it without laughing, ha!" haha！ ”

Yang Fan straightened his chest and walked over from Xie Xiaoman proudly.

"You!"

Xie Xiaoman was extremely angry, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that the front was close to the city, and a few soldiers were walking over with their shoulders dangling, for fear of catching up and causing some gossip, so he had to watch Yang Fan pacing into the door. …,

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Yang Fan's Wucheng Hall on duty was an important place for Wu Zetian to deal with government affairs and meet with his cronies after he retired from the dynasty.

This palace is located on the west side of the Ming Hall, the main hall is the main gate of three entrances, one enters the Guangfan Gate, the second enters the Qianhua Gate, and then enters the Wucheng Gate. There is another door in the east of the palace, called the East Ming Gate, there is a gate in the west of the hall, called the Guangyun Gate, out of the Guangyun Gate, through the Changle Gate, into the Mingfu Gate, that is, the Zhongshu Province (Prime Minister's Yamen).

To the west of Zhongshu Province is the History Museum, to the south of the History Museum there is the Internal Medicine Bureau, and to the north there is the Shang Food Kitchen. To the north of Zhongshu Province is the Women's Hospital, and there is a Xiu Academy in the north of the hospital. This area can be said to be the core area of the imperial court to handle daily government affairs.

Yang Fan was on duty in the Wucheng Gate of the third courtyard of the Wucheng Palace. Early in the morning, Yang Fan arrived at the duty time, so he rushed to Wuchengmen early, and at this time, the Empress Wu was summoning hundreds of civil and military officials in Mingtang to hold a court meeting.

The red sun is rising, the red color is sprinkled all over the earth, the eunuchs and palace ladies are busy carrying out the work of sprinkling and cleaning, at this time a delicate boy wearing a soft foot hood, wearing a round-necked robe, and a leather belt waist slowly walked.

"I've seen Shangguan waiting for the edict!"

"I've seen Shangguan waiting for the edict!"

The palace attendants who saw her all the way greeted her one after another.

Shangguan Wan'er is to be edicted, the post of edict began in the Han Dynasty, the edict of the Tang Dynasty and the edict of the Han Dynasty have been very different in function, during the Han Dynasty, the edict should also be with the court, at any time to listen to the emperor's edict. In the Tang Dynasty, the edict was generally placed in the Hanlin Yuan to be on duty.

Shangguan Wan'er is an edict, if she is not licensed, she does not need to go to the court, generally she will rush to the Wucheng Hall before the military queen, and sort out the case files that have not been processed on the first day, and need to leave them to be sorted out by the military queen himself, and there are some cases that should be sent to each department and yamen to pay for it.

Shangguan Wan'er walked leisurely to the front of Wucheng Palace, and was about to step into the hall, her eyes swept over the faces of the guards on the side, and the legs that had already entered the threshold were withdrawn, she turned around, looked Yang Fan up and down carefully, slightly showed a surprised look, and said, "You are ......"

Yang Fan was also looking at her, and as soon as she arrived, Yang Fan noticed her. Miao Shenke's whereabouts are in the hands of this woman, Yang Fan's only target in the palace is this woman, how can he not pay attention to her? But he tried every means to get close to her, and now that she was in front of his eyes, how could he ask?

Alas! The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side. Tracing back to it, the road is obstructive and long. Tracing from it, it is like being in the middle of the water. At this time, the scene is not easy compared to this gentleman who pursues my fair lady!
