Wu Youxu's efficiency was first-class, and in less than half an hour, he completed Li Zhen's transfer procedures and arranged a new accommodation for him.

Wu Zetian's Qianniu has a total of forty-five people, all of whom are strong in martial arts and from noble backgrounds, Li Zhen is the only one who was born in a commoner, but he is also the only guard with a knighthood.

The forty-five guards are divided into two parts, one part is the guard, there are thirty-six people, divided into three shifts to protect Wu Zetian's safety day and night, and the other eight are loose guards, there are no fixed affairs, they are all temporary arrangements, and Li Zhen is the ninth guard.

It is of course an extremely honorable thing to be able to become the empress Wu Zetian's Qianniu body, not only has a very high status, but also has a very generous treatment.

Monthly allowances, food, miscellaneous utilities and other welfare subsidies add up, at least 60 yuan of income per month, and there are 100 stone Lu rice at the end of the year, and even 5 acres of Yongye field, which is equivalent to a six-grade school captain.

But Li Zhen was not very happy, entering the palace as a guard was originally just his expedient measure, he and Shangguan Wan'er agreed that he would resign after a few months at most, but he had now become Wu Zetian's Qianniu preparation, and it would not be so easy to resign.

He now has his own tent, and it is no longer like the three of them squeezed into a tent before, which can be regarded as a kind of salary improvement.

The tent was covered with sheepskins, and his horses were tied to the outside of the tent, and there was little furniture in the tent, except for a wooden box for his personal belongings, and a bow and arrows and a long sword hung on the tent.

Li Zhen sat cross-legged on the sheepskin blanket, carefully caressing the white jade ruler that Wu Zetian rewarded him, about one foot long, it was carved with the best Hetian white jade, as delicate as mutton fat, if you look closely, it is carved with phoenixes, in fact, it is a picture of a hundred phoenixes dancing, the craftsmanship is exquisite, lifelike.

Li Zhen was very calm in his heart, although the reward made him happy for a while, but after calming down, he felt a little lost.

Although he received a title that everyone envied, and became a high-ranking personal bodyguard of the emperor, he lost his freedom, and he could no longer do as freely as he had before.

At this time, he felt movement behind him, and when he looked back, he saw a palace maid standing at the door of her tent, her face flushed, and she was a little cramped and uneasy.

"What's the matter?" asked Li Zhen with a smile.

"Shangguan Sheren. Please come over!"

Li Zhen suddenly remembered that this palace maid was Shangguan Wan'er's personal maid Xiao'e, he quickly got up, and Xiao'e saluted him, "Please follow me!"

Xiao'e took him to Shangguan Wan'er's big tent, Shangguan Wan'er's big tent was located in the forbidden middle, together with Empress Wu Zetian's big tent, and together with more than 100 other big tents, it was surrounded by a fence, and there were guards heavily guarded it.

Even if Li Zhen becomes Wu Zetian's Qianniu Reserve, he can't camp in the forbidden, he can only be on duty in the forbidden, and the camp is on the periphery.

However, he had a silver medal, numbered one hundred and seventy-four, and with it he was free to enter and leave the forbidden place.

"How is Shangguan Sheren's injury?" Li Zhen asked in a low voice.

When he shot the leopard, he saw that Shangguan Wan'er's left shoulder was bloodied, and it seemed to be scratched by the leopard's claws, which made him a little worried.

"Imperial Doctor Shen said that there is no major problem, he has been medicated, and he will recover in a few days. ”

Li Zhen nodded silently and followed Xiao'e into the big tent, the tent was filled with a strong smell of medicine, and several palace maids were cleaning up the messy items in the tent.

Shangguan Wan'er was wearing a white brocade shirt, leaning on a soft mattress, and a palace maid was carefully combing her head, perhaps because she was frightened, her face was a little pale, but her eyes were very calm.

Li Zhen had seen his brother-in-law Cao Wen's appearance after being pounced on by a leopard, compared to Cao Wenyan's mental reaction, Shangguan Wan'er's expression was much better, and she was still attacked by a special beast.

Shangguan Wan'er looked up and saw him, her eyes showed gratitude, but then she regained her blandness, and when she saw that his guard's leather armor was trimmed with gold, she couldn't help but smile knowingly: "Well! As a saint's guard, my mental strength is different." ”

This sentence made Li Zhen breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with her, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "See Shangguan Sheren!"

Shangguan Wan'er waved her hand and said with a smile: "Sit down! Standing so high, I feel depressed." ”

Li Zhen sat down on the carpet beside her, a palace maid brought two cups of hot tea, Shangguan Wan'er took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "I will remember your life-saving grace, I will not think that it is your duty." ”

Li Zhen didn't know what to say, so he asked after a while: "It doesn't matter if Sheren's injury is good, right?"

"It's not a big problem, although the skin is scratched, fortunately there is no bleeding. ”

Speaking of this, Shangguan Wan'er's eyes flashed with hatred, and she gritted her silver teeth and said: "I, Shangguan Wan'er, have always had clear grievances, people respect me for a foot, I pay him back, people hurt me for a point, I pay him back ten points, I remember this hatred." ”

Li Zhen wanted to tell her about it, but it seemed that she knew it, so Li Zhen didn't say more, and at this time, Shangguan Wan'er smiled again: "Just now, the saint came to visit me and told me about you, I heard that she gave you the town ruler?"

Li Zhen hurriedly took out the white jade ruler from his backpack and handed it to her, Shangguan Wan'er took the ruler, stroked it gently, and whispered for a long time: "This is the saint's beloved thing! After following her for ten years, she actually rewarded you." ”

"This is because the saint values the Shangguan Sheren, and she will reward me. ”

"That's right, she does value me, or she can't live without me. Shangguan Wan'er has never denied this, she is a woman that even the prime ministers are jealous of.

"But some people often say that the saint can't do without her, I don't think so, an emperor who reigns over the world is always seen through by the little maid next to her, and after a long time, she will not tolerate it, what do you say?" Shangguan Wan'er looked at Li Zhen with a smile.

"I think so too!"

The two of them looked at each other and laughed tacitly, they both knew who this person was.

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Li Zhen again and asked, "I am also happy for you when the Holy Lord has crowned you, but it seems that you are not willing to be her personal guard, why?"

"I just don't think it's a bit free. ”

"It's okay! It's a little less free than your previous Donggong guards, because there's something to do!, but it's not as unfree as you feared. ”

Shangguan Wan'er approached him slightly, lowered her voice and asked, "You tell me the truth, why?"

Li Zhen's face was a little hot, in front of such a beautiful woman, how could he talk about that kind of thing? He hesitated and said: "It's for some other reasons, it's just that it's not easy to speak, I'm worried that you should understand what I mean!"

Shangguan Wan'er laughed softly, Li Zhen's blushing appearance made her feel very cute, of course she knew what Li Zhen was referring to?

It is indeed very likely that she feels that the saint likes Li Zhen very much, and this liking is an instinctive appreciation, such as seeing a pleasing scenery and reading a text with a fragrant mouth on the corner of her mouth.

It seems that the saint likes his demeanor when he shoots arrows, which is the real reason why he was transferred to be a personal guard.

Shangguan Wan'er groaned and said, "Although I can't influence the preferences of the saint, I will try my best to protect you from the things you are worried about." ”

Li Zhen nodded silently, Shangguan Wan'er's words did not bring him a sense of security, he felt very funny when he thought of letting a woman bring him a sense of security, the world was completely turned upside down, wasn't it? The emperor was actually a woman, she could like any man she fancied, as if she had become one of them.

In addition to feeling funny, he also felt helpless

The leopard injury incident in the afternoon was finally characterized as an accident by Wu Zetian, and since it was an accident, it would not affect the bonfire banquet at night.

This is the tradition of winter hunting, on the first day of winter hunting, to evaluate the merits, hold a grand bonfire banquet, although the hunting time is three days, but everyone knows that after the first day of hunting, the beasts and deer in the area of the mountain will run almost the same, and there will be no harvest in the next two days.

So the harvest of the first day basically determined the final result of this winter hunt, and the generals were nervously liquidating, arguing over the belonging of a deer and a fox, and even did not hesitate to tear their faces and draw their fists against each other.

Wu Youxu was nervous in his heart, as he expected in advance, they were at the bottom of the right guard, and now they could only hope to get the first place in the individual and earn back a little face, he heard Li Linfu say that Li Zhen hunted a tiger and gave it to Li Longji, the king of Linzi.

This news suddenly made Wu Youxu excited, this is the only tiger hunted today, if this tiger can be counted on the head of Qianniuwei, then he, the general, will be able to get back some face.

Of course he wouldn't want the tiger, but this tiger hunting record must be counted on their Qianniuwei, he told the comptroller Wu Sansi for a long time, Wu Sansi reluctantly agreed, but he had one condition, he wanted Li Longji to personally admit that the tiger was hunted by Li Zhen.

Wu Youxu came to the outside of the Jinding tent and secretly looked inside, inside the big tent, Li Dan, the king of Xiang, Li Chengqi, the king of Shouchun County, and Li Longji, the king of Linzi County, and his father and son, all knelt on the ground, Li Chengqi and Li Longji were full of tears, and the guard Li Zhen stood awkwardly beside the big tent.

Wu Youxu was a little stunned, he didn't know what was going on, he hurriedly asked a guard in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

The guards hurriedly reported: "The saint praised the king of Linzi County for being able to hunt tigers, but the king of Linzi said that this tiger was hunted by Li Zhen and gave it to him, and the saint asked Li Zhen again, but Li Zhen said that the king of Linzi County shot and injured the tiger first." ”

"And then?"

Of course, the saint is very happy, saying that the king of Linzi County is young, and it is not easy to shoot an arrow from a tiger, not to mention that he can be honest and frank and take the initiative to tell the truth. ”

"How did you get so nervous?" Wu asked puzzled.

The king of Xiang mentioned yì and offered this tiger to the saint, which made the saint even more happy, and asked the king of Linzi what reward he wanted, but the king of Linzi seemed to have made some request, which made the atmosphere in the big tent tense all of a sudden. ”

"What did you ask?"

The guard shook his head, "I didn't hear clearly, it looked like some kind of bracelet." ”

"Bracelet?" Wu Youxu was even more puzzled.

At this moment, Li Zhen slowly withdrew from the tent, and Wu Youxu hurriedly pulled him aside and asked in a low voice, "What is the request of the King of Linzi County?"

Li Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "The king of Linzi asked the saint for his mother's bracelet as a reward. ”

Wu Youxu was stunned with an "ah!" sound, the king of Linzi County actually asked for his mother's bracelet as a reward, this, how can this make the saint embarrassed!

The two imperial concubines, Liu is Li Chengqi's mother, Dou is Li Longji's mother, the two imperial concubines have no bones, where can they still find the ornaments on their bodies?

Inside the big tent, Wu Zetian was not angry, he just sat there quietly and didn't say a word.

After a long time, Wu Zetian said to Li Dan tiredly: "Dan'er, take my two grandsons down!"

Li Dan felt sad in his heart, he kowtowed three times, got up to help his two sons, and said in a low voice: "Let's go!"

The father and son staggered back, looking at their departing backs, remembering their son's thin face, and the two grandsons' faces full of tears.

Even if she was resolute and resolute in her life, it was inevitable that there would be times when she thought of family affection, Wu Zetian couldn't help sighing, and there was a faint trace of regret in her heart
