After Xiao Yan went up the mountain, he saw that the red mountain had fallen in half, to be exact, it had been split in half and cut in half.

The mountain of Red Mountain is from northwest to southeast, but it is not an oblique extension, but like the arc of the bow, and the west and south cities of the Logic are surrounded by the inner arc of the bow, and the back of the bow is outward. Now the upper part of the bow, the north-west side of the mountain, was cut off, as if a third of the mountain had collapsed; In the middle of the Red Mountain, that is, the seven or eight miles of the mountain where the palace is located, the upper part of the mountain seems to be flattened by a giant sword, which makes the palace built up to the middle of the mountain stand out at once, and the highest palace building becomes the "top of the mountain".

Xiao Yan stood on the top of the mountain and was silent for a while, a mountain is not a city wall, the thickest city wall is only ten zhang, how can the width of this mountain be a mile and a half, it was collapsed and flattened......

She only sighed slightly, and was not surprised, dozens of Cave True Realm Grandmasters were fighting over there, and there were also Innate Grandmasters, it was nothing to split half of the mountain, but it was a pity that this palace was ...... She silently sighed for the half-flooded royal palace of the rocks and mud, quite a majestic palace building, how much manpower had to be spent to build it?

She swept in the direction of the palace.

The palace's tallest building — now a mud-covered hilltop — has been planted with the Tang flag.

The highest banner in the middle is ochre yellow with vermilion edges, embroidered with a large "Tang" character with gold thread, shining like gold in the blazing sun of July on the plateau; On the left side of the Tang Dynasty banner is the handsome of the "Marshal Li of the Expeditionary Capital", on the right is the "King Flag" of the princess of Jinyang, and on the flag with ochre and yellow inlaid with vermilion edges, a green dragon is majestic.

The Tibetan palace is the tallest building in the city, and now these three flags are flying at the highest place of the palace, and everyone in the city can see it. Some of the Tubo troops in the city who were still resisting were hit again, and their fighting spirit was even more lost, and there were slogan soldiers everywhere in the Tang army shouting "Heaven's will to punish you!" Surrender or kill! Another slogan soldier got the order, galloped through the city, and shouted, "Zampu has fallen!" His Holiness is dead! ”…… The Tubo soldiers, whose spiritual will had been severely devastated, gave up resistance in despair, and most of the tribal lords and powerful ministers surrendered when they saw that there was no escape.

The remnants of the city are still being cleared, and the 1,000 Chinese troops of Princess Jinyang have entered the palace, still searching for prisoners, and all entrances and arteries have been set up with sentry posts. Since the upper part of the palace was covered with mud and stones, Princess Jinyang's temporary tent was set up in the main hall at the foot of the mountain. Xiao Yan detoured down the mountain and entered the palace from the palace gate, perhaps Princess Jinyang had already given instructions in advance, after she reported her name and handed over the officer card, she thought that she would have to wait for the palace gate forbidden army to enter and pass the word, who knew that the two guards glanced at her "logo face" a few times, and let the line open.

Entering the palace gate is a two-story flat-roofed palace, painted with red, yellow and green paintings, bright and rich, guarding the forbidden army below, a princess palace guard standing under the palace, seeing Xiao Yan from a distance, greeted him, and said: "Deputy Lieutenant Xiao, please come with me." Then he led her up the wooden steps to the second floor, and led her into a side hall and said: "This is the rest hall of the Tubo Dynasty, and the princess said that you can tidy it up here." He looked at the couch where Zampu was resting.

Xiao Yan walked over, lifted the curtains, and saw a pair of bright red brocade pants on the couch, which was brighter than the crimson of the military robe. She picked it up and compared, about the same height as herself, the material was the Shu brocade she was familiar with in the Tang Jiannan Road, embroidered with dark patterns on the deer, and it was new and crisp, it should not have been worn yet, there was a cable tie at the narrow cuff under the trousers, which concubine's polo pants were they?

She wore these pants directly outside, the plain silk pants were still worn close-fitting, and they had to be washed and returned to the princess, would they take them off with their hands? If she were a man, she might have taken it off, but she was a woman with the princess, so she didn't think it would matter if she wore more pants here, and it wasn't dirty pants - of course it couldn't be dirty pants.

She came out after dressing, and the guard was already out. She waited in the side hall for a while, and the guard came in again and said, "Deputy Lieutenant Xiao, the princess invites you over." ”

She put on her boots and went out of the side hall and walked along the golden porch to the outside of the main hall.

The guards standing under the porch did not squint, and one of the guards pushed open a temple door. She entered the temple and took off her boots, and the Tibetan people took off their boots not with a screen, but a lacquered and painted cabinet inlaid with precious stones, on which were placed all kinds of gold and silver bottles, and silk flowers were inserted. Xiao Yan bypassed the screen cabinet and stepped on the red felt on the ground to enter the hall.

This is the palace of the royal palace, but the Danqi is not high, only one order, and the pot door couch throne made of pure gold and inlaid with various colored gems is placed. Of course, Princess Jinyang did not sit on this royal couch, but placed a minister's square couch under the Dan steps, in front of her was a case table with gorgeous lacquer and inlaid with red and green gems and gold, and the same was true for other cases in the palace, which seemed to be the style of the Tubo Palace.

There are not many people in the palace, except for Princess Jinyang, there are only three people.

There is a monk sitting behind the desk on the east side, the monk's robe on his body is a little white, showing a half-yellow and half-white color, but it does not make people feel down, but gives people a simple feeling of going through the years.

Behind the first table on the west side sat a sandal-crowned woman, her face was like snow, sitting on the couch like a cloud, giving people an ethereal feeling; Sitting behind the second desk was a scribe in a wide-sleeved robe, looking like he was in his thirties, and his appearance was handsome.

All three looked at each other.

Xiao Yan felt the pressure, even if she was watched by the generals in the princess's marshal tent that day, she didn't feel such a big pressure, as if she stepped into the vast starry sky, towering mountains, and vast seas, which made her feel a sense of insignificance and humility.

Li Yuzhen's cool and pleasant voice broke this pressure, "Xiao Yuezhi, come and meet the three senior great masters. ”

Xiao Yan's body and mind were light, and she sighed secretly, and then her heart was awe-inspiring, only an innate grandmaster can be called a great grandmaster, no wonder she was under such great pressure.

She stepped forward solemnly, gave a military salute to the princess first, and said, "Xiao Yan, deputy commander of the 11th battalion of the Jingnan Army in Hexi, see Marshal Du." ”

Li Yuzhen smiled: "Take off the mask, in front of the three seniors, there is no need to cover up." ”

Xiao Yan replied "yes".

The innate grandmaster is the extreme martial arts in this world, if it is not really ugly, it is indeed disrespectful to wear a mask to cover his appearance when he meets him for the first time. Although Xiao Yan obeyed her mother's words, she also understood that her mother taught her to "be honest and keep one" while being "flexible". She lifted her mask and held it in her hand.

As soon as the exquisite appearance was revealed, the three people in the seat all raised their eyebrows. The broad-robed scribe was the first to laugh, his expression and gaze showing gentleness.

Li Yuzhen said: "First of all, I came to see the abbot of Fanyin Temple, Master Duyin. ”

Xiao Yan walked to the east side of the case, knelt down and bowed, and said, "Xiao Yan greets Master Duyin." ”

Du Yin was handsome, he looked at twenty at first, and then thirty, but those eyes were as thick as the sky, as if they had gone through a hundred years, making people unclear about their age, and he titheed and said: "Xiao Langjun is exempt." His voice was clear and far-reaching, giving people the feeling of the morning bell of the mountain temple, but Xiao Yan felt that this distant voice was incomparably faint, as if the precipitation of the ancient temple of the thousand-year-old Buddhist temple, the depth of the years, and the vastness of the heavenly way, all under that distant voice.

"When I see it today, it is fate, and this thing is given to Xiao Langjun." Du Yin took out a round stone as clear as glass from the wide sleeves of the monk's robe and handed it over.

Xiao Yan lowered his eyebrows and took it with both hands, the stone was as smooth as jade, and he felt a coolness from the meridians of his palm straight up, and in an instant, he only felt that the spiritual platform was clear, and the glazed lotus petals seemed to be clear.

Xiao Yan was surprised, this thing should be extraordinary, she hesitated, "Master's gift is too heavy......

Du Yin said: "This is a glass clear heart stone, meditating in the palm of the palm, into the concentration can be twice as fast as usual, even if the mind is complicated, you can also clear the heart into the mind, no worries about the heart and demons, if you are disturbed, you can be safe." Although it is rare, it is not rare, but it has been with the old man for some years. Xiao Langjun didn't hurt to accept it. Saying that, he smiled slightly, lowered his eyes and recited a proverb, "The heart is like a glass platform, and I look at the lotus flower myself." ”

Xiao Yan's heart was shocked.

What Master Du Yin is talking about is her Lingtai view, but each person's cultivation method and realm are different, and the Lingtai scene is different—how does Master Du Yin know her Lingtai scene? …… Or, is it a coincidence?

Xiao Yan didn't believe in this reason.

She pressed down the doubts in her heart, and bowed down again: "Thank you for the generous gift." ”

She took her mask and stood back.

Li Yuzhen said: "This is Master Dao Zhenzi, the elder of Yuqing Palace. ”

Xiao Yan bowed to the west side of the case, "Xiao Yan pays a visit to Master Dao Zhenzi." ”

The voice above his head was as ethereal as a cloud, "Xiao Wunian, get up." ”

Xiao Yanyu raised her head, and surprise flashed in her clear eyes: how could this Dao Zhenzi master know the Dao name her mother gave her?

The smile on Dao Zhenzi's lips was faint, like snow in the clouds, ethereal, pure, and her eyes were soft as the wind, "Your 'mother' is my old friend." ”

Xiao Yan's eyes were even more surprised, his mother actually had an "old man" of a congenital grandmaster?

Her eyes widened slightly, and she let out a slight "ah", and her expression looked as cute as a child's at that moment.

Dao Zhenzi couldn't help but smile and said, "Back then, I admired your 'mother'. There was a bit of restraint in the voice.

Xiao Yan's eyes widened.

Admiration? …… Isn't that admiration?

The expression on her face changed instantly, she was stunned, confused, and relieved that "it's not that kind of admiration", which makes people see through it at a glance.

Princess Jinyang really wanted to put the mask on her face: Xiao Yuezhi, can your face be "calm"?

The broad-robed scribe suddenly laughed, and his voice was a little teasing, "Back then, Dao Zhenzi admired...... Ahem, but it's pretty ...... It's a sensation. Every time he thinks of Taiqing Zhang's teaching of Dao Weizi and said, "There are many handsome men in the world, why bother to love a flower" He couldn't help laughing, back then Dao Zhenzi found a unique way to practice sentient sendo, and chose a woman as a sensitor, which was amazing and shocking, but he felt that Dao Weizi's joke was the best, haha.

Xiao Yan's face was stunned, he turned his head to look at the broad-robed scribe, and then turned around: ...... So, this innate grandmaster of the Dao Sect is really his mother's admirer?

Her eyes blinked, and then she calmed down, not at all surprised, and the look with pride clearly revealed her thoughts, and the approximate touch was: "My mother is so good, it is normal for someone to love her, whether male or female, it is not strange." ”

The broad-robed scribe laughed again, and said, "Your child is really not at all different from your mother. ”

Li Yixun's cunning fox with a hundred hearts and eyes actually gave birth to such a pure-minded child?

He shook his head and smiled, "It's really like what Master Duyin said, the heart is like glass and pure like a lotus." ”

He also teased Dao Zhenzi, "Since you are the son of the 'old man', Dao Zhen, your courtesy cannot be light." ”

Dao Zhenzi glanced at him lightly, what does it matter to you. Looking back at Xiao Yan, he took out a hairpin from his sleeve, the hairpin head is like a lingzhi, the style is simple but the carving is exquisite, both men and women can wear it, and handed it to her: "This is a thousand-year-old sinking wood, the hairpin can calm down at the beginning of the weekday, and it is sealed with a sword qi of mine, if there is a crisis, you can throw the hairpin to excite." ”

Xiao Yan was excited in his heart, the thousand-year-old Sinking Water Wood is precious, but what is even more precious is the sword qi sealed by the Innate Grandmaster, which can save lives at critical moments!

She respectfully accepted it, bowed to thank her, and did not say anything more that she did not dare to accept the courtesy. It's not that the gift is too precious for her to refuse, but when Master Duyin gave her the glazed heart stone, she understood: whether she can afford it or not is not what she says, but what these great masters decide; She just needs to be sincere and remember their kindness.

Then he met with the broad-robed scribe.

Li Yuzhen said to her: "This is King Shen, the general of Tiance, the left sacrificial wine of Tianzi Courtyard." ”

Admiral Tiance is the highest martial artist, Zhengyipin, and he is still above the Shangzhu Kingdom, and he is not lightly awarded except for the innate grandmaster; Tianziyuan sacrificial wine is the head of the Tianyuan in the three courtyards of Tiance Academy, "heaven, earth, and people", each courtyard has two sacrificial wines, and Shenwang Li Yu is one of the masters of the Tianyuan.

Xiao Yan stepped forward to salute.

King Shen waved the sleeves of his robe and waved his hand, "Get up." ”

Xiao Yan sat up straight, looking at King Shen at such a close distance, he felt even more personable, and there was a kind of free and easy in the handsome and elegant, which made people admire and at the same time a little less restrained.

"Well, here's for you." What King Shen gave Xiao Yan was a non-gold and non-jade brand, the color was like dark iron, a little smaller than her officer card, but it was quite heavy to start, with a green dragon on one side and two seal characters on the other, "Heaven enters".

King Shen looked at her and smiled kindly, "Little Seventeen is beautiful and good, he will come to Chang'an one day, and he can use this to enter Tiance Academy for further study." ”

Xiao Yan was taken aback, this is the "Heavenly Strategy"?

Tiance Academy is a royal academy, which only accepts children of the royal family, but those who have Tiance talismans can enter Tiance Academy to study regardless of their status. Therefore, Tiance Academy also has a small number of students who are not from the royal family. But the Heavenly Charm is not something that can be obtained lightly, not to mention that there are only a few people who are qualified to issue the Heavenly Purpose Talisman, and they can only give one Talisman in their lifetime, so you can imagine how precious this talisman is.

The talisman in her hand is something that many children of the family want to fight for.

Compared to the glazed heart purifying stone that can help the pure heart demon, and the innate grandmaster sword qi that can save her life in times of crisis, King Shen's gift is heavier, and it can make her martial arts go wider.

Xiao Yan was grateful in his heart, and put away the heavenly charm to thank him.

King Shen smiled, with this heavenly talisman, are you still worried that this child will not be in Chang'an?

Li Yuzhen secretly praised this uncle's wit.

Xiao Yan's eyes motioned to sit down on the cushion on the south side and listen to the discussion of the four people.

Du Yin and Dao Zhenzi didn't say much, and King Shen only listened, mainly because Princess Jinyang said that some matters related to Daomen and Buddhism. The "holy temple" of the bowl religion will be settled by the Sanqing Palace of Daomen, and the "holy temple" Jokhang Temple of the Tibetan monks will be settled by the Buddhist Fanyin Temple.

Xiao Yan thought that it might be related to the injuries of the three great masters in the hall - the Dharma King and the ** Master of the Bowl Sect and the Innate Grandmaster of the Tubo Royal Court had all been killed in battle, and the three great masters who fought against it could not be intact, and the injuries might not be light, but her realm was too far away to be seen.

She got up and sent the three great grandmasters out of the hall with Princess Jinyang.

Li Yuzhen turned around and took her hand, and went from the back door of the main hall to the side hall - the one where Xiao Yan stayed before, and she walked through the main gate when she entered the hall.

Li Yuzhen looked at her and smiled: "Yes, it's in the middle of the Extreme Realm." ”

Xiao Yan withdrew his hand and saluted her, "Thank you, princess." ”

Li Yuzhen's eyes were full of smiles, "Thank me for what?" ”

"Princess Yi Xie took me to sharpen my martial arts; Second, Princess Xie borrowed my pants. Xiao Yan said very sincerely, when it came to "borrow my pants", there was no twisting, I just felt that the princess treated her very well, with her status, she would not undress or change her pants casually, let alone take off her underwear for others to wear, this kindness must be thanked.

Li Yuzhen thought of Xiao Yan's straight and slender legs like beautiful jade at this time, and there was a slight strangeness in her heart, and her hand seemed to still have the wonderful feeling when she touched her skin, although her own was not bad, but she didn't have the strange feeling when she touched Xiao Yue, it was like ...... Love.

"Are you healed?" She reached out and pressed Xiao Yan's waist, touched her ribs through the robe, felt the flexibility of her body under her palm, and her thin ice eyes were like water.

Xiao Yan said: "Okay." So saying, he pressed the princess's hand—her ribs were broken, not her sternum, and the princess's hand was not touching the place.

Li Yuzhen took her hand and put it on her waist with her backhand, stepped forward and approached her, because she was taller than Xiao Yan, her lips fell on Xiao Yan's ear, she smiled softly, and her cool and flawless voice was charming, and said, "How do you want to thank me?" ”

Xiao Yan felt that there was mud and blood on his military robe, and the princess still pasted it, so he wanted to retreat, but he was pressed on his back by the princess's palm and couldn't retreat. She gave up retreating, thought about it, and replied to Princess Jinyang: "What is the princess's send, if I can do it, I will do it." ”

Li Yuzhen's gaze fell on her lips, a light flashed in her eyes, and she smiled lowly and said, "Okay, you remember." ”

She let go of her hand, pulled Xiao Yan to sit on the couch behind the desk, rubbed her fingers against Xiao Yan's palm, with a look of expression, and said in a matter-of-fact manner: "The life lines are long, deep, and ruddy...... Well, no wonder it's more resistant. ”

Xiao Yan couldn't help laughing and said, "Then princess, you are more resistant." This princess is famously "the more you kill, the stronger you get".

She went to the right palm of Princess Jinyang, wanting to see if the life pattern was longer, deeper, and ruddy than her own.

Li Yuzhen clapped her hand, "Don't make trouble." ”

Xiao Yan was speechless, why didn't you look at me as a fuss.

Li Yuzhen's fingers touched her palm, Xiao Yan felt a little itchy, and wanted to withdraw his hand and was slapped again, "Don't move." …… Well, the sky pattern goes under the index finger......" She raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Yan meaningfully.

Xiao Yan blinked, "Isn't it good to go under your index finger?" ”

Li Yuzhen smiled "poof", leaned close to her ear and said, "It shows that you are not heavy on meat. Desire. ”

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, suddenly understood, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, very speechless, "...... Can you see this? ”

Li Yuzhen's lips hooked, "Do you want to try it?" Her gaze slipped from Xiao Yan's lips to her neck and under her robe.

Xiao Yan shuddered inexplicably, and quickly shook his head, "Still not." "I thought to myself, how can I try this? …… Belch? No, why did she try this? Also, why did she and the princess discuss this?

She said, "Princess, has the city been taken?" "The implication is that we should get down to business, right?

Li Yuzhen raised his eyebrows, "The general trend in the city has been decided, and the rest is just sweeping the tail, we don't need to worry about it, otherwise what are you doing raising those generals and joining the army?" ”

Xiao Yan thought to himself, I am also a member of the "general", so it's not good to be lazy here.

Li Yuzhen looked at her and knew what she was thinking, but he didn't want to let her go.

She vaguely knew that she had her mind on Xiao Yan, although she was not sure what to do, she was unwilling to let go of the opportunity to be close to her in front of her, if she was allowed to return to the camp, the next time she had this opportunity to be alone, I don't know when.

She has always wanted to do it, secretly thinking about how to make Xiao Yan tempted by her, while leading the topic in the direction she cared about, talking about the situation on the mountain after she was shaken down the mountain.

Xiao Yan heard that King Jin was seriously injured, and said with concern: "Is King Jin okay?" Well, there's also the county king. She had a good impression of King Jin, who treated her kindly, funny and a little childlike.

Li Yuzhen said: "It's okay, it's much lighter than King Shen's injuries, and it's good to recuperate for ten days and a half months." ”

Xiao Yan sighed again, "The princess was so close at that time, how did she get out of danger?" ”

Li Yuzhen smiled slightly, "Into the ground." ”

Xiao Yan was surprised, "Escape? …… Does the princess know the magic of the Daomen? ”

Li Yuzhen's fingers moved on the lines of her palm, as if he was distracted from looking at her palmistry, and he smiled when he heard her words, "This kind of profound technique, few people in the Dao Sect understand; Now the so-called escape technique is just a trick to cover the eyes, how to avoid the grandmaster's self-explosion? The true art of retreat has long been lost, where did I learn it? ”

When Xiao Yan heard it, he couldn't figure it out, "Then how did you get into the ground?" She didn't realize that it was already yours and yours when she was talking to the princess in private.

Li Yuzhen's lips smiled deeply, his eyes softened, and he pointed at her: "If it were you, facing a self-explosion in the late stage of the Ascending Realm, your knife might sink into the ground in an instant?" ”

Xiao Yan nodded, "That's naturally possible." "But people are not the same as knives, huh? The knife can be carried in an instant, how can people do it?

"Ah Yan, the truth is the same." Li Yuzhen changed her name without Xiao Yan noticing, with a look of earnest teaching, which made Xiao Yan's mind completely focused on her words, "The knife can, why can't people?" My sword is in my hand, the sword is mine, I am the sword. ”

Xiao Yan Huo Ran understood, "...... Body and sword in one! ”

This is different from the "unity of man and sword" she realized.

The unity of man and knife is the resonance of man and knife, and Princess Jinyang's "unity of body and sword" is what she said, "The sword is me, I am the sword", at that moment, she is the sword, the sword enters the ground, and she enters the ground.

It's just that it's easy to say, but how can it be simple?

Otherwise, the King of Jin in the late stage of the Cave True Realm would not have been seriously injured by the self-explosion of the same level of grandmaster.

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed, and he thought, "...... Princess, do you practice kendo? "The world's martial arts debut, the Taoist door talks about the balance of the five elements, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and the balance is the avenue; There is only kendo, specializing in the sharp gold of the five elements.

"Five Elements ......of Gold," she murmured, lost in thought.

Li Yuzhen smiled appreciatively, her fingers stroked the human lines in her palm, starting from the line and closing between the ring finger and the little finger, really smart, but not the kind of shrewd and excessive; The lines are deep and fine, without branches, and the work is unswerving...... This is good.

The smile on the corner of Li Yuzhen's lips deepened, her eyes fixed on her face, outlining her facial features, and she felt that the love in her heart was jumping.

Her eyebrows furrowed, and her thin ice-like eyes became unfathomable.

If she likes Xiao Yan, the original plan will change.

It's just that how deep is her heart for Xiao Yan?

The author has something to say: Tianwen: It is the emotional line. Human Pattern: Wisdom Line——

Small Theatre:

King Jin: Ah Zhen, teaching you physiognomy is not for you to hook up with people.

Li Yuzhen: This is called a multi-purpose skill.
