Knock, knock, knock......

The east turned white, the wind and rain that had lasted all night gradually subsided, and the familiar bells rang in the city again.

In the cozy small room, Night Terror Hall was lying on the outermost side, because the bed was really a little narrow, the three of them could basically sleep on their sides, Qinghe was still on the innermost side, and Ning'er was protected in the middle, basically sticking to each other.

After hearing the morning bell, Night Terror opened his eyes, looked up first, and saw that both of them were tired and asleep, so he didn't wake up, picked up the quilt lightly and went to the ground, and gently touched the foreheads of the two people, and then put on his robe and came outside the room.

At this time, it was not long after dawn, and the maid guards had just gotten up, and two greetings could be heard from time to time from all over the house.

In the opposite room, the window was open, and the birds, who had always gone to bed on time, had run into the house and slept in the bamboo hats.

And Xue Baijin got up early in the morning, and changed into a plain white skirt, standing in the small courtyard between the two rooms at this time, slowly playing health boxing, although the appearance is very eye-catching, but the eyes and expressions are meticulous, just looking at the side of the face can feel that it is a very cold big ice mound.

The Night Terror Hall closed the door, put away the miscellaneous threads, came closer, and beckoned:

"Wake up so early?"

Xue Baijin slid out of the boxing with his feet, slowly pushed his palms forward, and saw the night terror hall come out, his expression was not very happy.

After all, she hadn't slept at all last night.

Ever since she heard the strange movements, it was difficult for her to settle down, and she thought that she would be over in half an hour, but she never thought that this color embryo would still toss back and forth, and she did not stop until it was almost dawn.

At this time, seeing that the Night Terror Hall dared to come over, Xue Baijin didn't turn his head, and responded calmly:

"There was a lot of rats in the room, and I couldn't sleep after a night of noise."

"Really......"

Night Terror Hall knew that Bing Tuo Tuo must have heard the movement, his expression was slightly embarrassed, and he changed the topic and said:

"How's Minglong Diagram learning? Would you like to take another look at the comparison? ”

Xue Baijin is because he has learned the Mingshen Diagram, and the movements he hears are so transparent and clear, as if he is in the scene, and when he hears this, his heart becomes more and more strange.

However, it is a fact that he took the Minglong diagram from the Night Terror Hall for nothing, and Xue Baijin thought of this, and it was not good to treat the Night Terror Hall coldly, and his eyes softened a little:

"It's just a picture of the dragon, if you can still practice wrong after reading it once, why did I get to where I am today. How are you resting? ”

"Hehe, it's good."

"Humph......"

Xue Baijin felt that she had slept for less than an hour in the night terror, and she definitely didn't rest well, but people were willing to toss, and she didn't say much, so she didn't speak.

Night Terror Hall knew that Bingtuotuo was not cold, but straightforward and would not do homely things, so he naturally didn't mind this, and stood next to him and learned to push his palm:

"What kind of trick is this?"

"The Baguazhang of the inner door, striving to be yin and soft, can cultivate one's self-cultivation, practice and control qi, Yunli used to practice it often, haven't you seen it?"

"I've seen it, but I feel that it's useless to be slow, and I haven't learned it......"

……

Xue Baijin was boxing slowly, and when he saw Night Terror Hall standing side by side, he might not be suitable for practicing martial arts with men, so he turned his eyes to look at Night Terror Hall's right leg:

"Your ...... Wounds"

"Ahem......"

Night Terror Hall immediately retracted his fist, moved a little farther away, and said with a pleasant face:

"It's all right, don't worry. Well...... I'll go to the front and take a look, and I'll practice first. ”

With that, he ran away.

Xue Baijin saw this scene, the corners of his mouth were like a light hook, and he seemed to snort secretly, and then continued to practice kung fu.

Night Terror Hall walked out of the small door and came to the aisle, seeing the beautiful and kind-hearted Bing Tuotuo, he didn't chase him out to help him cure his lameness, secretly relieved, and after washing up in the side yard and changing back into the guard robe, he came to the courtyard of the young lady.

Today is not a routine vacation, no matter how big the affairs of the imperial court are, Guozijian still attends classes as usual, Lu Zhu has already gotten up early, and is in Hua Qingzhi's room, serving the young lady to drink medicine, and at the same time asking with concern:

"Miss, didn't you sleep well last night, why are your eyes dark?"

Hua Qingzhi did that kind of thing to shame the dead last night, how could she fall asleep in the end, tossing and turning in bed, and finally wanted to run away from home.

At this time, Hua Qingzhi was sitting in a wheelchair, with two dark circles under her eyes, looking a little listless, holding the medicine bowl in both hands, and she was no longer the same as before, but her heart was full of 'tons and tons ~' into her throat, looking like she wanted her legs to get better as soon as possible, so as not to run away from home in the future.

Night Terror Hall came to the gate of the courtyard, and as soon as he looked inside, he found Hua Qingzhi, who was drinking, quickly put down the medicine bowl and coughed a few times, her face turned red, and she slipped into a wheelchair to hide in the house.

And Luzhu looked at it in a blink of an eye, he was stunned, he didn't even care about the young lady, and ran out of the door with surprise in his eyes and grabbed his sleeve:

"Hua'an? How do you stay at home? I thought you were gone......"

"I didn't leave, I just went out last night to do something and came back in the middle of the night......"

"Really? I said why I heard the cat bark again in the middle of the night...... Oops~"

Night Terror flicked on the naughty green bead's skull, and then turned to look into the room:

"Miss, it's time to go to school, I'll get the carriage ready first?"

Hua Qingzhi hid in the house, eager to find a hole to get into, and when she heard the voice, she didn't show up, but said:

"I'll just go by myself, you can rest at home."

Night Terror came to the door of the room and looked inside:

"I'm Miss's personal bodyguard, and I'll not be blinded by the housekeeper when I'm resting at home, so I'll go pack up the carriage and wait for Miss outside."

Although Hua Qingzhi wanted to look as usual, she couldn't do it at all, she turned her back to the door from beginning to end, and only after the night terror hall left, did she look back carefully.

Luzhu didn't know the reason, so she was naturally inexplicable, and came to help the young lady pack her schoolbag:

"Miss, why are you weird today? Seeing Hua'an is like seeing Lord Yama......"

"Ask more, do you believe it if I marry you off?"

“？！”

Green Bead immediately shut up.

……

——

On the street in front of Wanbao Tower.

Grunt......

The luxurious carriages of Washington, under the leadership of the guards, slowly moved forward, but the original bustling streets, but there were no pedestrians, replaced by a large group of forbidden troops, patrolling the streets from house to house, searching for the big rebels who might have already gone away.

Hua Junchen sat in the carriage with a sad look in his eyes.

And Li Guangxian returned to the city with the car, looked at the majestic palace in the distance at this time, frowned and said:

"I thought there was a mess in the Guangbi Water Forest, but I didn't expect that even the Imperial City had thieves sneaking in and taking away the Minglong Diagram. This time the mess is too big, I don't know how many people will be implicated......"

"The Pingtian Sect Master and the Night Terror Hall are in the Bishui Forest, and the one who sneaked into the palace city should be someone else......"

"The Ming Dragon Diagram should be placed in the secret room, I have heard before, the door of the secret room was built by Mr. Zhongsun himself, with brute force alone, even if it is a martial saint, it will take half an hour to break open, the Night Terror Hall and the Pingtian Sect Master should not have this attainment, I suspect that there is an inner ghost......"

The two chatted like this, and before they knew it, they walked to Wanbao Tower.

Hua Junchen and Li Guangxian returned from Bishui Forest in the morning because of news from the palace that the palace had been robbed and the Ming Dragon Diagram had been lost.

No matter how big the matter of Bishui Forest is, it is just a little snow lake flower, which is obviously not as important as the emperor's security.

Now that the reason for the matter has not been clarified, the Son of Heaven is going back to the palace today, and many masters of Bishui Forest can only turn back first and go to the imperial city to garrison, so as not to have an accident with the Son of Heaven.

When the carriage arrived outside the alley, Hua Junchen got out of the car first and instructed the guards to send Li Guangxian back to the mansion, while he walked to the mansion alone.

Hua Junchen knew who was the person who stole Minglongtu and Bishuilin to make trouble, but the court had Minglongtu and the elixir, and they didn't see it for him, and they also treated him as a laborer who didn't want money, and he didn't care about it at all, and his face was sad at this time, just because the good nephew who was like a teacher and a son was gone.

If it's just a temporary separation, it's not unacceptable for a man to not see each other for three or five years, but Night Terror is his son-in-law who hasn't passed the door, and he must take Qingzhi with him if he wants to go.

He, who is a father, where can he rest assured that his daughter will follow the man to a foreign country alone, but if he doesn't let Qingzhi follow, when he thinks of Qingzhi's lovesickness and waiting for an indefinite period, his father is even more heartbroken.

For this reason, Hua Junchen didn't dare to go too fast, for fear that when he went back, he would see that Qingzhi's room was empty and the person had already left; I was even more afraid that Qingzhi was still staying in the house, and wondered why Hua'an hadn't come back.

Thinking about it like this, Hua Junchen quickly walked to the door of the house, and when he turned his head, he saw that in the carriage on the side of the house, there was a carriage that Qingzhi used to go to school on weekdays; Hua Ning was busy with the reins in front.

When Hua Junchen saw this scene, his heart trembled, and he was about to ask if Qingzhi was still at home, when he suddenly heard a voice from his side:

"Why did Uncle Hua come back? Done with things out of the city? ”

Hua Junchen was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at it, he saw that Night Terror Hall was standing in the doorway wearing a guard robe, holding two umbrellas in his hands, and it seemed that he was about to put them in the car.

？！

Hua Junchen saw the familiar face, and after being stunned for a moment, he reacted, hurriedly walked into the door quietly, and pulled the night terror hall to the corner of the secluded place:

"You're not leaving?"

Night Terror Hall could see that Uncle Hua was very nervous, and said calmly:

"The matter is not finished, and it will have to be delayed for two days, if it is inconvenient for my uncle, I will go out and find a place to stay......"

Hearing this, Hua Junchen hurriedly waved his hand: "What are you talking about?" You are willing to live here, and it will be inconvenient for me to be an uncle. It's just that the whole city is looking for you now, if you don't take the opportunity to get out, you still stay in the capital, how dangerous is it......"

"I have my own measure of this, and I will leave after I have been busy for the past two days. That's right......"

Night Terror held an umbrella and put his hand into his arms, wanting to touch the stolen Mingshen diagram and let Uncle Hua learn it to show his gratitude, so as not to have no chance in the future.

But Hua Junchen knew what the Night Terror Hall was going to take out just by seeing this action, so he quickly closed his eyes and held down the Night Terror Hall's hand:

"Don't take it! I don't know anything, you are the guard I recruited for Qingzhi, I took this thing, what should I do if I accidentally expose the stuffing in the future? I'll talk about it later......"

Seeing this, Night Terror Hall naturally didn't force it, and said with a smile: "Then I'll talk about it later, wait for the next time I come, I'll bring all the Minglong diagrams, Uncle Hua only needs to learn, I don't dare to say that the world is invincible, and the invincible under the mountain is still easy......"

Hua Junchen was a little embarrassed when he saw that the dowry given by the Night Terror Hall was so luxurious, and after waving his hand slightly and politely, he turned to say:

"According to Zhong Sun Jin, the national teacher has taken the pill and is in retreat, and he can't come back in a short time, but I can't ask when he will come back.

"Also, Bi Shuilin has already refined an elixir and is going to use it for Father-in-law Ziliang first, so as not to go wrong in the palace in the future. When the time comes, I will send the medicine to the palace, or let Ziliang's father-in-law go to Bishuilin to take the medicine, I don't know, if you want to do something, do it as soon as possible, don't delay until the national teacher comes back......"

Night Terror Hall was quite surprised to hear this key information, and bowed again to show his gratitude.

Grunt......

The two had only been talking for a few words, and there was a sound of rumbling behind them.

Seeing this, Hua Junchen hurriedly stopped talking, put on the appearance of a master, raised his hand and patted Night Terror Hall on the shoulder, and walked back with his hand.

Hua Qingzhi sat in a wheelchair and was pushed out by Green Beads, originally thinking about how to face the night terrors, but when she saw her father in a blink of an eye, she quickly recovered her appearance and bowed:

"Dad, you're back."

"Well, come back and get some things, you have to go to the imperial city on an errand later, you go to school first."

After Hua Junchen said hello, his expression turned to the shadow wall as usual.

After Hua Qingzhi saw her father leave, she was pushed to the door, and saw Night Terror Hall waiting at the door, and tried her best to calm down:

"Let's go. The two sisters you brought back, I just asked Luzhu to arrange their identities...... Well...... That's also your confidante? ”

Night Terror carried the wheelchair over the threshold, pushed it towards the carriage, and whispered:

"Not all, the taller girls are just friends in the rivers and lakes."

"Oh......"

Hua Qingzhi didn't believe it at all, but she didn't ask much, and after getting into the carriage, she quickly lowered the curtain and hid in the carriage without saying a word.

Night Terror Hall was kissed yesterday, in fact, it was strange in my heart, I didn't get close to it anymore, and I took the carriage and went down the street as usual......

——

Thousands of miles away, the city of Jingjie.

In the afternoon, the warm spring sun hung in the air, tens of thousands of border troops gathered on the plain outside the city, under the leadership of the commander, neatly lined up for drills, and the war drums sounded in unison and shouted to kill:

"Kill—Kill——......"

On the tower of the city gate of the majestic city, the dragon flag is displayed, and countless accompanying courtiers and famous people and sages in Yazhou are all neatly dressed and standing on the city wall, observing the strong military appearance of the army on the border of the Great Wei Dynasty.

The Empress of Great Wei was dressed in dark golden armor, standing with a knife directly above the city gate, because she was tall and had slender limbs, she looked like a general, and on the left and right were her cronies and courtiers, and Wang Yin, the prince of Zhenguo, was accompanied by her.

The Empress of the Great Wei Dynasty changed her idleness in the past, her demeanor was very steady, and her eyes were always looking at the northernmost canyon.

The canyon is the national gate Tianmen Gorge, in the past it was the Beiliang National Gate, the two sides are separated by more than ten miles of natural danger, if you listen carefully, you can actually hear the sound of war drums on the opposite side of the canyon, the momentum is like a rainbow, obviously also in the military exercise, to put pressure on this side.

The reason for the empress's trip was to inspect the border army, but whether to fight the Northern Liang or not, the courtiers of the Northern and Southern Dynasties actually felt that the possibility of 'fighting' was the greatest.

If it was changed to the year before last, the two kings of Yanliang were staring at each other, the northern national power was at its peak, and the empress even had no heirs, which led to political instability, and came to the north to routinely patrol the border, Beiliang was not afraid at all, because the internal did not ask, and the empress did not have a chance to give it a go.

Today, it's different.

Since the beginning of last year, the kings of the Great Wei Dynasty have begun to have strange operations repeatedly.

First of all, King Wu, the old man of the Eastern Clan, rebelled to save the abolished emperor in a foolish way, and lost his title and fiefdom.

Then King Yan, who was very deep in the city, was not ready to do anything, so his son made his own decision and ran to assassinate the emperor to give him a yellow robe, but the more important thing is that it has not been done, and he forced King Yan, who was in a good situation, to cut off his siblings to save his life.

The founding of the Great Wei Dynasty is only a Jiazi, and there are only a few princes who can speak, and as soon as King Wu of Yan falls, only King Liang is left who still has the strength to usurp the throne in the entire Great Wei.

The empress has no heirs, she is still a woman, even if King Liang doesn't want to be the emperor, if the empress has a problem one day, the courtiers will have to press him to Yun'an to succeed him, and it won't work if it's not right.

As long as he honestly guards the frontier and does his duty, the lower limit of King Liang is a hereditary vassal king with real power, and the upper limit directly takes over the imperial throne in name only, why did he run to risk the disapproval of the world to usurp the throne?

In this case, the interior of Dawei is directly stable, and there is no need to worry about a fire in the backyard of the battle ahead.

This is not the case in Beiliang, the orphans of King Tianlang have come out, and the Xihai tribes that have been recovered have obviously been chaotic.

The Xihai tribes have always been xenophobic, treating the northern and southern dynasties as barbarians, and only obeying their own people's leadership, and the Night Terror Hall happens to have the blood of the Tianlang King, and his personal charm is amazing, it can be said that as long as he wants to, he can raise a good force in the Xihai tribes that have been suffering from the north for a long time.

In such a situation, the empress sent troops to the Northern Expedition, even if she couldn't gnaw the Northern Liang, there was a high probability that she would be able to seize control of the Xihai tribes, and there was a night terror, which was not just an unstable area of violent suppression, but an area under the actual control of the troops who could mobilize the soldiers of all departments to Wei.

With such a big advantage, if the empress doesn't fight, wait for two years, if the wings of the Night Terror Hall are stiff and want to establish himself as the king, or King Liang can't stand it and moves his heart, the situation will be reversed.

For this reason, it was found that after the empress came to Jingjie City, the Northern Liang was really in the whole army to fight, beware of the south and the north.

And how the empress herself can't see through the current situation, she hasn't given an order for a long time, purely because she is not in good health, and she is afraid that she will fall as soon as the war starts, resulting in the dragons without a leader, and the situation is completely out of control, becoming worse than the current one.

After standing at the head of the city for a while, after a round of drills, the empress turned and returned to the city gate tower to rest for a while.

The inside of the castle tower is very different from the solemn atmosphere outside.

In the richly decorated room, Xuanji Zhenren was wearing a plum blossom white dress, lazily leaning on the soft couch and drinking a little wine, because he hadn't seen his lover for a long time, he was very lonely, and he talked a lot less than in the past.

Pei Xiangjun didn't go out with the night terror hall this time, he could only run his own hall in the city, a person was very boring, fortunately, Xuanji Zhenren was also an idle person, and she specially got a female official's card, and she was together wherever she went every day, and she often went to the Benben Palace to drink tea, but today is a review of the border army, and the occasion is more important, so it is naturally not easy to appear.

At this time, wearing a gorgeous queen mother's dress, sitting upright behind the bead curtain, it seems that she is carefully reviewing, but her eyes are looking at the northern world, and she doesn't know what she is looking at.

As for Dongfang Liren, as always, he was wearing a silver fat-headed dragon python suit, standing in front of the window, with a painting case in front of him, and was painting 'Sister Inspecting a Thousand Armies', probably out of selfishness, he also painted himself in front of him, and there was a handsome and unparalleled guard standing next to him as a bodyguard.

Seeing the empress in armor coming in, Xuanji Zhenren sat up with her body and patted her side:

"Come and rest for a while, the Night Terror Hall has been going to the north for so long, why is there no news at all? Why don't you go over and see ...... for the teacher?"

The empress was also worried about the safety of the Night Terror Hall, but she believed in the ability of the Night Terror Hall more, so she asked the master to run over as well, except for hollowing out the body of the Night Terror Hall with wine every day, she couldn't think of anything else she could help, so she said:

"I should be back soon, I didn't speak when I left anyone, what is the master anxious about."

Dongfang left the brush for a moment, although she missed the night terror in her heart, but in front of her sister and mother, she would not show it, and turned back and said:

"What do you want me to do? I don't care about night terrors. ”

Since Xuanji Zhenren started the group together, she often shared the same bed with Liren during this time, but she knew that Liren dreamed every night, and she rebelliously regarded her as a master, touching everywhere with her hands, wondering why Xiao Jingtang was missing.

However, these embarrassing people, after saying it out and leaving people, he will definitely take revenge and clean him up, Xuanji Zhenren did not name him, but just turned a wisp of green silk with his fingertips to play:

"I don't know who it is, I can't sleep every night when I miss my lover......"

→_→

The Queen Mother frowned, glanced at Xuanji Zhenren, and the meaning of her eyes was obviously - you try to talk nonsense again?

Dongfang Liren pretended not to hear it, and continued to ponder the picture scroll.

The four of them chatted like this, and as soon as the empress took two sips of the teacup, the white-haired person in charge of the intelligence agency listened to it, and quickly walked up to the city tower, came to the house, and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, news has come from the north, Lord Ye has infiltrated the Imperial City, and has obtained the Mingshen Map, and then the Peace Heaven Sect Master has joined forces to make trouble in the Bishui Forest, and the Dan Fang has not yet left Yanjing, and is waiting for the next opportunity."

Xuanji Zhenren was stunned: "He is so bold? They all grabbed the Mingshen map, and they still dare to stay in Yanjing? ”

And the empress frowned: "How can he move with the Peace Heaven Sect Master?" ”

The white-haired truth is also far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, so naturally it is not clear, but it is just said:

"Yanjing's secret stake is not clear, but it is just that the pill that Xiang Hanshi has taken may be out of the customs at any time, and he will start a siege with Zhongsun Jin, and Lord Ye may be in danger......"

The Queen Mother was naturally anxious when she heard this, and got up and said, "Then let him come back immediately, don't be too greedy......"

Dongfang Liren raised his hand slightly, stopping the Queen Mother's words:

"The general will not be subject to the order of the monarch outside, and it is natural to be sure that the Night Terror Hall dares to stay, we don't know the local facts, and it is not good to command from such a distance."

The empress's thoughts are the same as those of leaving people, and she has already opened her mouth, so she will not repeat it, but just say:

"Let Yanjing's manpower fully assist them in the Night Terror Hall to get out, and send someone to answer them at the border."

"Yes."

"Go and call Wang Guogong and them over, and send the Queen Mother and King Jing back to the palace to rest."

"Yes."

……

——

I originally wanted Sanniang to show her face and say a few words, but the occasion was not suitable, and I couldn't hold it back after thinking about it for three hours, so I could only mention one sentence......

By the way, click on yesterday's name: "Invincible Horse: Starting from Marrying a Dementia Princess", it was late yesterday, I didn't see enough people, and I didn't absorb luck enough thoroughly, so squeeze it again or2!
