Xiao Jiangyuan didn't answer, and said softly after a while: "Do you want to leave Chang'an?" ”

Mao Ying tightened her arms and leaned close to Xiao Jiangyuan's ear: "But the general doesn't want to ......"

Xiao Jiangyuan opened his eyes and pushed Mao Ying away: "I am me, you are you." ”

The candles in the house were extinguished, and the cool moonlight was even more hazy through the curtains, but the eyes were extremely bright: "...... I listen to you. ”

"Then I will command you to take all the possessions you can with you, and go wherever you want. I've already done it for you, and it's in the box on that table. ”

Mao Ying slowly sat up straight, her expression just hidden in the shadows: "This household registration matter, the general is not ......"

"In the first year of Tianbao, it was just a little troublesome, and it was Tianbao for 12 years."

“…… Is the general tired of the tassels? Her voice suddenly sank slightly.

Xiao Jiangyuan didn't know how to answer for a while. Fed up? Not yet, but she felt that since he wanted to leave Chang'an, she really had no reason to stop him.

"No, why did the general rush away?" Without waiting for Xiao Jiangyuan to deny it, Mao Ying's tone had softened, "Oh, no, the general is asking Mao Ying to go wherever she wants." ”

Mao Ying slowly approached Xiao Jiangyuan, and her gentle smile gradually appeared in the watery moonlight: "I want to come here." ”

Since Mao Ying insisted so much, Xiao Jiangyuan couldn't refuse: "Anyway, you have now recovered your good name, if you change your mind in the future, you can leave if you want to." ”

Mao Ying dressed and stayed, picked up the brand new household registration, and opened it to see: "The general is mistaken." ”

"What went wrong?"

"As I said, '濯缨' is the word."

"But that's how you registered in your hometown."

"Shen Qing."

"What?"

Mao Ying lowered her head, her fingers traced the dark lines on the good book, and her voice was like a jade strike: "Shen Qing, the word is Mao Ying." ”

“…… Raven slave. Xiao Jiangyuan suddenly remembered this name that no one had evoked for a long time, and he felt a little emotional.

"Is it a girl's 'girl'?"

“…… The 'crow' of the crow. ”

"Is it the general's nickname?" She sat back on the couch.

"It's the name I used to use, and then someone gave me a new name, and someone gave me a last name."

Many things of that day, Xiao Jiangyuan can vaguely remember. At that time, Empress Zetian was still on the throne, and she had only come to serve Empress Zetian for two months. I don't know if it's because of Shangguan Wan'er's relationship or something else, the Queen of Heaven always likes to tease her. She didn't know how she, who had never reacted, fell into Zhang Changzong's eyes, and was considered to be Empress Zetian's new favorite. On that day, when she was packing up Empress Zetian's makeup box, she was suddenly taken away by Zhang Changzong and blocked in her room.

At that time, she was just a little eunuch in Tsing Yi, and she could only sleep in the bunk. It's just that the Zhang brothers didn't allow Empress Zetian to have too many eunuchs around her, and let the palace people accompany her, so that she could occupy a whole room by herself.

There were only two people in the room, her and Zhang Changzong, but she was not afraid at all, and she had been faintly learning Shangguan Wan'er's long-sleeved dance. She knew that Zhang Changzong's eyes were above the top on weekdays, and she had always been too lazy to spend energy on her subordinates, thinking that if she explained the reason clearly, Zhang Changzong would let her go, but she didn't want Zhang Changzong to be a reasonable person many times.

Zhang Changzong soon got tired of hearing this, and actually pushed her down directly on the couch and reached out to pull her clothes: "I want to see how you serve the saint!" ”

At that time, Xiao Jiangyuan didn't know much about the difference between men and women, only based on what Shangguan Wan'er said, he knew that he was a woman dressed as a man, and he would show his original form when he took off his clothes, so he reached out to stop him. Zhang Changzong only said that she was a eunuch, and he was ashamed of it, so he started harder. Xiao Jiangyuan is still young, and his strength is even more invincible to a man, even if it is Zhang Changzong, who is weak.

Zhang Changzong was quickly stunned: "You...... Is it a woman? ”

Since she is a woman, she is not his rival in love. He immediately let go of Xiao Jiangyuan, his eyes looked away, and his cheeks were still a little red: "...... I didn't know before, and you didn't tell me...... Can a saint know this? ”

The clothes were thrown away by Zhang Changzong, and Xiao Jiangyuan could only wrap himself in the quilt: "What does Liulang think? ”

The people in the palace are ranked according to their families, calling Zhang Changzong "Liulang" and Zhang Yizhi "Wulang".

What can Zhang Changzong think, naturally he acquiesces that Empress Zetian knows: "Today's matter, you are not allowed to say it." If you listen to me, in addition to the talented people of Shangguan in the future, I will also support you, if you don't listen...... I will hand you over to my brother. ”

Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan was obviously not shocked, his expression was still a little dazed, Zhang Changzong even turned red at the tips of his ears, and coughed lightly: "It seems that you still don't know how powerful my brother is......"

After thinking about it, Zhang Changzong suddenly approached Xiao Jiangyuan: "As long as you hide today's matter, I will also help you hide it, otherwise if you let my brother know about it......"

"How about letting me know?" Zhang Yizhi suddenly pushed the door and walked in, "The saint has been looking for you for a long time, and you are in a hurry......

Zhang Yizhi's gaze immediately fell on Xiao Jiangyuan. He has a similar appearance to Zhang Changzong, the difference is that Zhang Changzong's appearance is handsome and clean, more like a childish teenager, while he has narrow eyebrows and eyes, and has a yin and cunning spirit, which has obviously been immersed in the world for a long time.

At that time, Xiao Jiangyuan did not have a very clear concept of the beauty and ugliness of a man's appearance, he only felt that Zhang Changzong was quite simple, but Zhang Yizhi was very difficult.

Zhang Yizhi stared at Xiao Jiangyuan for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Liulang, go and accompany the saint, she handed it over to me." ”

Although Zhang Changzong's reaction to his brother was not surprised, he was inexplicably a little unbearable: "There are so many palace people around the saint, and there are Shangguan talents, isn't it enough for the elder brother?" This one...... It hasn't grown yet. ”

"If Rokuro also likes it, I'll give it to you as a brother."

"No, no, no, I only have saints in my heart!" Zhang Changzong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's just ......"

Zhang Yizhi directly pushed Zhang Changzong out, and then locked the door. He walked to the edge of the collapse step by step, hooked the corners of his lips and smiled contemptuously: "If not, how can you seemingly noble women be willing to do things for me, right, crow slave?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan didn't understand the conversation between their brothers, and only felt that Zhang Yizhi, who was gradually approaching, seemed to carry an unknown danger. She slowly moved to the pillow, but was suddenly grabbed by Zhang Yizhi's ankle, and her body immediately slipped out of the quilt, and was dragged in front of the well-dressed Zhang Yizhi, and soon felt a pain.

She immediately straightened her arm, reached under the pillow, grabbed a lotus silver hairpin, and stabbed Zhang Yizhi's bare neck.

As early as when Zhang Changzong found her, she felt that the person who came was not good, so she took a lotus silver hairpin from Empress Zetian's makeup box and hid it in her sleeve. When Zhang Changzong was pulling her clothes, in order to prevent being discovered, she took advantage of Zhang Changzong's inattention and hid the silver hairpin under the pillow within reach, but she didn't expect it to come in handy.

Zhang Yizhi immediately got up and retreated, but he was still scratched. He reached over and felt blood. This was really unexpected, and he couldn't help but laugh angrily.

At this moment, a gentle female voice came from outside the door: "Goro, open the door." ”

Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan had covered his body with a quilt, holding the lotus silver hairpin tightly with both hands, and the tip of the hairpin was aimed at him, Zhang Yizhi suddenly lost interest. He straightened his clothes, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Shangguan Wan'er running straight to Xiao Jiangyuan.

Seeing that there was blood on the couch, but she didn't know if it was Xiao Jiangyuan's or Zhang Yizhi's, Shangguan Wan'er frowned slightly for a while.

Zhang Yizhi looked at Shangguan Wan'er's back and chuckled: "Since you have an extra scar on your forehead, you have never been close to me again." ”

"Thanks to Gorou's blessing, Wan'er can concentrate on doing things for the saint." Shangguan Wan'er turned to face Zhang Yizhi, and said that she was blessed, "When the sage was looking for Liulang, he clearly also looked for this child, if he knew that this child was Wulang here...... I wonder what will happen? ”

Zhang Yizhi disagreed: "When the sage found out that you were having a relationship with me, how did you deal with it?" Besides, since she has pretended to be a eunuch, if this matter is about to go out, everyone will know that she is a woman, even the saint ......"

"The saint knew it a long time ago." Shangguan Wan'er smiled lightly, "Let her be a eunuch, it is the meaning of a saint, saying that she wants to see if the people taught by Wan'er will be different if they change their way of living." So the saint will suppress the matter, but not because of you. Gorou should do it himself. ”

Zhang Yizhi's expression changed slightly.

By the time Wu Cao arrived, Xiao Jiangyuan had already slept.

Wu Cao sat on the edge of the couch: "It's been checked, how is it?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head: "It's a step too late...... Fortunately, it's just a step. ”

"So at the beginning, it wasn't you who took the initiative to find Zhang Yizhi, but he ......"

"The palace people around the saint have all been touched by him, but the saint punished the minister with a scar, but he never treated him well, and the other palace people saw it, so they didn't dare to tell the saint. Zhang Wulang used this to intimidate the palace people to do things for him, monitor the saint's every move, and block the saint's words at the same time. Whether voluntarily or not, the saint has not seen the courtiers for another month, and in the long run, it may be disadvantageous. ”

"It's just two male pets, can it be turned upside down? Now that I have made the prince of the Li family, what disadvantage can I have? Without waiting for Shangguan Wan'er to speak, Wu Cao picked up the lotus silver hairpin next to Xiao Jiangyuan's pillow, "Did she hurt Zhang Yizhi with this?" ”

Seeing that Wu Cao didn't want to mention it again, Shangguan Wan'er had to sigh: "...... Be. ”

Wu Cao looked at Xiao Jiangyuan's quiet sleeping face, and laughed unexpectedly: "It reminds me of the lion." She may not know what she's been through. It's okay, let her always be a eunuch in the future, and never be a woman again. ”

Seeing Shangguan Wan'er tucking the quilt for Xiao Jiangyuan, Wu Cao looked interesting: "Don't put on this look, as if you are the only one who feels sorry for her." Didn't you choose a name for her, called 'Jiang Yuan', I will give her a surname, and the surname will be 'Xiao'. ”

"Xiao Yuexiao, it's still ......"

"Lan Ling Xiao."

“…… Why is that? ”

The surname given by the Son of Heaven has always been given to the country, and Wu Cao once gave the surname Wu to Princess Taiping.

"Because...... Wang Jiangyuan is not good. Wu Cao said, inserting the lotus silver hairpin into Xiao Jiangyuan's hair.

The Wang family and the Xiao family are the surnames of the emperor and the concubine in the past, and Wu Cao changed them to the python family and the Xiao family, which shows how disgusted he was once upon a time, but now he mentions it calmly, which is not a good sign for Shangguan Wan'er.

Since then, Xiao Jiangyuan's green robe has become a much fatter shallow scarlet robe, and Wu Cao has alienated Zhang Yizhi. Half a year later, the Shenlong coup/d'état, the Zhang brothers were killed, and Wu Cao was forced to abdicate.

This matter had already been sealed in Xiao Jiangyuan's heart, and if she hadn't met Yang Guozhong, she would have almost been able to remember. She neither told Li Longji nor told Maoying.

As soon as possible, she re-registered a good citizen for Maoying and handed it over to him.

"General......" Mi Ying's tone was very helpless.

Xiao Jiangyuan said: "I've been very busy lately, and I may not be able to come back a few times this year, if you want to leave, just leave me a letter." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Maoying to respond, she set off and returned to Xingqing Palace.

The second fire of Yang Guozhong's new official took office burned to An Lushan.

Li Longji said that An Lushan had a countervail, and Xiao Jiangyuan never thought that it would be Yang Guozhong.

The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
