Chapter 5 Tang Capital
Fifty zhang underground in the Tang Imperial Palace, a voice came out from a sarcophagus, "extinguish",
In a ruined temple in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, an old man walked out and looked at the sky, "Is it about to start again?" ”
Chen Dong and Li Yue came to the Tang Capital, and Chen Dong was immediately shocked. The city wall is 100 zhang high, the city gate is dozens of zhang wide, and there are 9981 copper nails on the city gate. The soldiers stood guard on both sides of the gate, standing straight.
Approaching the city gate, a group of cavalry walked out, and a young man with a white horse and white clothes at the front ushered in it. Stay in front of Li Yue, dismount, and kneel down on one knee, "Minister, Wei Chijin, welcome Princess Taiping back to the court"
When Chen Dong saw the young man calling Princess Li Yue Taiping, he thought, 'It's okay, it's not Taiping.' ’
Li Yue frowned when she saw Yu Chi Jin, "What about my imperial sister and imperial brother?" Why are you alone? ”
Yu Chijin replied, "The eldest princess and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have important matters to do, so they specially sent Weichen here. ”
Li Yue replied, "Is Tuoba Chadi back?" ”
Yu Chijin said, "I'm back, and I've brought things back." At that time, I knew that the princess was assassinated, and His Majesty sent a large number of masters to rescue him. Knowing that the princess has escaped from danger, the ministers and others returned to the court, and came here to greet Her Royal Highness. ”
When Li Yue heard this, she was immediately relieved, "Take me to see my father." ”
After speaking, Chen Dong followed a large number of people to the Tang Dynasty palace.
When he came to the palace, Chen Dong understood what luxury was and what was splendid. I also understood what it means to call the palace gate as deep as the sea. After coming to the main hall, wait for the emperor to announce the meeting
An old eunuch shouted, "Warrior Chen is here." ”
Chen Dong entered the main hall, Li Yue was holding a woman in palace clothes and was coquettish, and there was a majestic man sitting on the throne, which should be Li Mi, the emperor of the Tang Kingdom. The man was wearing a brown robe, and it could be seen that the robe was embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, and next to him stood a young man, whose face was very similar to Li Mi, wearing a four-clawed golden dragon embroidered robe. It should be Li Shilang, the second son of the Tang Emperor's favorite
Chen Dong did not bow down, but just hugged his fists and bowed, and gave a junior salute, "Grass people Chen Dong, see His Majesty the Emperor." ”
Emperor Li Mi saw that Chen Dong did not blame him for not bowing, but gave Chen Dong a hint of appreciation for his junior salute: "You are Chen Dong, the son of Chen Zhan, the general of Chu State." ”
During the period when Li Yue and Chen Dong returned to the dynasty, Tang Guo can be said to have checked Chen Dong to the bottom. Just open Chen Zhan's grave to see if he looks like Chen Dong
Chen Dong replied, "It's the grass people"
Li Mi said, "Yue'er has already said that you offended the royal family of Chu in order to save Yue'er." The state of Chu can no longer tolerate you. What reward do you want? ”
Chen Dong replied, "Caomin and Li Yuenai are friends, and friends help each other, so I don't think we should reciprocate." ”
When Li Mi heard Chen Dong's words, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. The royal family can be said to be a national resource, with everything. But there are some things that really don't exist, and friends are them.
Li Mi said, "You save Yue'er, how can you not be rewarded, it will inevitably damage the national prestige of my Tang Dynasty in the future." I heard Yue'er say that your kung fu is good, so I will enshrine you as the protector of the country, stay in the royal worship mansion, and give you a thousand taels of gold and a hundred horses of silk. Give you an offering card, you can enter and exit the Tibetan scripture pavilion and watch the exercises inside. ”
Chen Dong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Li Mi's words: "Back to His Majesty the Emperor, I want to travel to the mainland, I'm afraid I can't do it for this protector worship." ”
When Li Mi heard Chen Dong's words, he couldn't help but smile, "There is nothing practical about protecting the country and worshipping, it's just a cultivation place for a group of capable people." You can still come and go as you like in the future. ”
Chen Dong heard this and understood, this is the cultivator of the royal raising. Usually eat and drink well, are you embarrassed not to do something? I thought, 'The heart of playing the imperial art is so black, and I unconsciously wrap people into it.' ’
Li Yue, who was on the side, saw that Chen Dong was still hesitating and shouted, "Stinky scoundrel, you can be content." There is such a foothold in Tangdu, and you can go at any time if you want to go in the future, and you can come back if you want to. ”
Hearing Li Yue's words, Chen Dong thought to himself, it's okay. Anyway, I saved the princess, and it wasn't for nothing. So he agreed.
Seeing that Chen Dong agreed to come down, Li Yue ran over from the woman's arms and pulled Chen Dong to take him to the worship mansion.
Seeing this, Chen Dong hurriedly said goodbye to Li Mi and left with Li Yue.
After Chen Dong left, Emperor Li Mi said to Li Shilang who was standing beside him, "Second brother, what do you think of this son?" ”
When Li Shilang heard Li Mi's words, he bowed and replied, "Not humble or arrogant, after a famous general." It's a manufacturable talent. It's just that I don't know if his relationship with the state of Chu is really broken, or if it is deliberate. ”
Li Mi heard Li Shilang's words and nodded slightly, "This son is a little arrogant, and it needs to be polished to be better used by my Datang." His relationship with the state of Chu has been investigated clearly. was originally an earl, but he was squeezed out by the clan and robbed of the earldom, but the state of Chu did not support the son of this general. This son disappeared for three years, and when he returned, he killed the clan chief, and this time the state of Chu wanted him on charges of murdering nobles. I think that's why he came to the rescue of Yue'er. ”
Li Shilang said, "There is no opinion on the minister, this Chen Dong has not yet reached the crown, and he is already a third-order martial artist." The future is promising. ”
Chen Dong was taken by Li Yue to an altar in the back mountain of the imperial city, Chen Dong looked at here, all kinds of runes, although he couldn't understand it. But I don't know how to do it.
Li Yue saw that Chen Dong had never seen some strange appearances, and couldn't help but snickered in her heart, "This princess told you this soil scoundrel, this is the teleportation array, and this is the one that is directly teleported to the worship mansion." Li Yue seems to have a soft spot for arguing with Chen Dong, and she will not give up the opportunity to hit Chen Dong every time
When Chen Dong heard Li Yue's words, he immediately felt that Tang Guo was so powerful, "This teleportation array is so big, it must be able to teleport far away." ”
Li Yue replied, "That is, no one knows where the worship mansion is. Only by this teleportation array can you get in and out. ”
When Chen Dong heard this, he couldn't help but feel as if he had been fooled.
Then the two entered the teleportation array, and a burst of light flashed. The two of them came to another altar, which was built on the top of a steep hill surrounded by mountains. Chen Dong looked at the steps in front of him, which were built by a chain suspension bridge. At the end of the stairs is an archway with a plaque that reads, "Offering House"
The two raised their legs and walked in, and on the way, Chen Dong asked casually, "Is there usually no one to guard here?" ”
Li Yue heard Chen Dong's words and replied, "What are you guarding him for?" On one side is the worship house, and on the other side is the back garden of the imperial city. Those who can come to these two places are either their own people or high-ranking people. ”
Chen Dong nodded slightly, feeling that this was the case. It seems that if you want to sneak away, although it is difficult, it is not big.
The two entered the worship mansion and immediately attracted the surrounding people to watch.
A man in a cloth hat said, "Yo, here's a newcomer." But this kid is a little too tender. ”
A bald head beside him quipped, "It's a little small, but look at the thin skin and tender meat." It's definitely delicious. As he spoke, he put on a fierce look, looked at Chen Dong and said, "Boy, I haven't eaten a child for a long time." ”
Chen Dong frowned, and Li Yue beside him said, "Master Ku, will I put lard in your meal at night?" ”
When the bald head heard Li Yue's words, he suddenly looked like a deflated ball. Li Yue let out a laugh like a silver bell, and explained to Chen Dong, "Master Ku's cultivation of Buddhism is the most important thing to keep the precepts. ”
Chen Dong suddenly understood when he heard Li Yue's words, although the bitter master joked that he ate people, but the precepts of Buddhism, in fact, he couldn't eat meat.
Li Yue arranged a place for Chen Dong to live and left. After all, I have been away from the palace for many days, and many friends have not seen each other, and they miss it very much.
After Li Yue left, Chen Dong cleaned up the house. The Emperor's gifts had already been delivered, some in scabbards, some in the house.
Chen Dong came to the courtyard, and there was an old man lying on the courtyard wall. Dressed in a green robe with a goatee.
When the old man saw Chen Dong coming out, he asked him, "Hey, boy, what skills do you have to come into this worship mansion." ”
Chen Dong saw that he was disrespectful, and replied, "I don't have any ability, the princess has to bring me here, and I don't know why." ”
After Chen Dong finished speaking, an old woman floated on the wall of the courtyard on the other side, and said, "Young man, why did you coax the moon girl to pull you here, teach me." ”
Chen Dong was shocked when he saw the old woman floating in the air. "Is Mother-in-law the legendary magician?"
The old woman looked at Chen Dong's adoring eyes, and felt that her heart was very useful, and the moon girl couldn't see how powerful she was. No matter how I say it, I am also a sixth-order great magician, and the little girl doesn't even learn from herself, but learns some kung fu from the old thing opposite.
The old woman replied to Chen Dong, "Exactly, and I am already a great magician." ”
The old man lying on the opposite wall said, "Don't listen to him blowing the air, just a great magician, old man, I am still a sixth-order great martial artist." ”
The old woman saw the old man on the wall and said angrily to herself, "Yuan Daool, your three-legged cat's kung fu, your skin is itchy, right?" ”
Yuan Daool saw that the old woman was angry, and his neck shrank. Jump back into your own courtyard. The voice came, "Sai Chunhua, old man, I am a good man and don't fight with women." ”
When Chen Dong saw these two, he said in his heart not to fight in his courtyard. Hurriedly played the round out loud, "Aunt Sai, don't be like Yuan's predecessors." Speaking of how Aunt Sai learned magic, there are very few magicians in Dongtu Shenzhou. There are even fewer great magicians. ”
Hearing Chen Dong's words, Sai Chunhua suddenly became proud, "That's natural, I was a talent that my mentor took a fancy to when I was young, and I specially brought the magic to Middle-earth Shenzhou to study, and I returned to Datang after I completed my studies." ”
Yuan Daool shouted in the courtyard, "Boy, don't listen to her nonsense, her teacher took her away because she was beautiful when she was young." The old Zhu Huang was driven back again. ”
When Chen Dong heard Yuan Daool's words, his face suddenly changed, and he smelled the smell of gossip.
Sai Chunhua floated to the courtyard next to Chen Dong, and all kinds of hailstones, ice blades, and ice picks condensed and smashed down.
Chen Dong looked at Sai Chunhua and thought, 'This Aunt Sai should be an ice magician. ’
