The next day, autumn was crisp.

It should be a good time to go out of the city and climb high and look into the distance, but the twelve gates of Chang'an City are closed, and there is no entry or exit.

Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, the huge Chang'an City does not have the slightest festive atmosphere, and everyone's hearts seem to be shrouded in a shadow, just like the gloom of this autumn.

"Your Majesty, the people of the demon clan outside Chang'an City actually withdrew cleanly overnight, and the last general sent a scout horse out, and no trace of the demon clan was found within a radius of a hundred miles."

Su Dingfang, who served under Qin Shubao, rushed into the Jin Palace, and as soon as he entered the main hall, he saw Li Shimin sitting in the center.

"Oh, is that true? In the past two months, the demon clan has fought with us countless times, and both sides have their own victories and defeats, and we can be regarded as barely supporting them, and the other party actually withdrew?"

Li Shimin asked suspiciously, his eyes skimmed over the bodies of everyone in the main hall, and finally stayed on the body of the "Three Holy Mother" Yang Chan.

Today's Yang Chan, after the war in the past two months, seems to have become the real head of the Jin Palace, with the "Baolian Lantern" in her hand, she has repeatedly rescued everyone from danger.

"What my father said is very true, if today's Dao is unbalanced, the demon race is rampant in the Three Realms, and the human race is now the protagonist of the Three Realms, thinking that the demon clan will definitely not give up Chang'an and leave easily."

"In the past two months, although we have also suffered heavy losses, there are not a few demon soldiers and demon generals who have died in our hands, and there must be something strange in the sudden withdrawal of the demon clan."

No matter how witty the "Three Holy Mother" Yang Chan is, she can't guess the mystery of this, so she can only tell Su Dingfang to explore and report again.

As a result, Su Dingfang once again expanded the scope of his investigation, and searched until he was three hundred miles away from Chang'an City, but he still failed to find any trace of the demons.

Two days a day, two days three, three days later, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

There was no war for several days, and the residents of Chang'an, who were more courageous, even took to the streets of Chang'an, calling friends and companions, and going in and out of restaurants and tea shops in twos and threes.

Maybe it's really suffocating, or maybe it's for the arrival of the August Festival, it seems that even the weather is much better.

In the palace of the king of Jin, he also began to prepare for the festival, after all, the August Festival is a relatively large festival in this period.

The Jin Wangfu is the backbone of the fight against the invasion of the demons, even if it is a show to reassure the people of the city, Yang Chan has to arrange it in an orderly manner.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is always more lively at night.

It's just that in today's situation, it is impossible to celebrate in a big way, Li Shimin is in charge, and let the crown prince Li Chengqian draw up a list, and put three or five tables in the Jin Palace, which can be regarded as a celebration of the monarch and the ministers.

It seems that the Jin Palace, for so many years, has never had such a big scene, and even on the day of Li Zhi and Yang Chan's wedding, so many people were never invited.

Early in the morning, the Jin Wangfu was busy, worried that the cooks in the Jin Wangfu would not be able to keep up, Li Shimin directly transferred all the people in the imperial dining room.

Anyway, over the years, Li Shimin has lived more in the Jin Palace, and there are only a few less favored concubines living in the palace, and it is common to transfer the imperial dining room.

As the commander of the guards of the Jin Palace, Bai Zhen didn't dare to take it lightly, but fortunately, with the opportunity to breathe in the past few days, with the assistance of Yang Chan's "Baolian Lantern", Bai Zhen's injuries were also healed.

Today's Bai Zhen, the stable realm of the early stage of the "Taiyi Golden Immortal", there was a surprise attack by the demons, Yan Chixia simply put the thirty people who could fight the most in the "Lijing Gate" to temporarily act as the guards of the Jin Palace, which was managed by Bai Zhen.

Qin Shubao also did the same, and selected the most powerful thirty people from the entire Imperial Forest Army, and also acted as the guards of the Jin Palace.

In this way, Bai Zhen, who was originally regarded as the commander of the light pole, really implemented his duty as the commander of the guards of the Jin Palace.

However, Bai Zhen's main energy was to control the defense of the entire Jin Palace, and these sixty people were divided into two, with Luo Tong and Qin Huaiyu each leading thirty people.

The guards of the inner house are directly responsible for the "Three Holy Mother" Yang Chan, and the eldest grandson Huanting, Ao Ling, and Xueqian help each other.

"Commander Bai, this is an invitation from the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, and it is said to be in the middle

On the autumn night, Master Xuanzang is going to open the altar to give a lecture and invite the two Asura demon generals from our house to go, you see, ......

When the Jin Palace's palace was busy for the evening feast, a Jin Wangfu guard took an invitation card and found Bai Zhen, the leader of the guard.

"Oh, what else did the visitor say? Are they just the two of them?"

Bai Zhen was a little puzzled.

It is said that this Master Xuanzang has a special identity, whether it is with Tang Emperor Li Shimin, or with his own master, Li Zhi, the king of Shangjin, he can be regarded as a friendship.

Since Master Xuanzang settled in the "Big Wild Goose Pagoda" of the Great Ci'en Temple, it is also common to open the altar to preach, but it is often invited by the Buddhists, at most they are just those men and women who believe in Buddhism.

At least it's been more than a year, and there has never been an important person from the court, let alone come to the Jin Palace's mansion to send invitations.

What's even more puzzling is that even if the invitation was sent to the Jin Palace, why did he only invite two demon generals from the Asura clan?

"Commander Qiqibai, that little novice said, originally Master Xuanzang said that Princess Jin is also the one who should be invited, but now the situation is special, and Princess Jin wants to sit in the palace, so he only invited two 'Da Luo Jinxian level demon generals'."

Bai Zhen knew in his heart that the other party's little novice could directly break through the realm of the two Asura demon generals like this, and I think that this invitation is probably only related to cultivation.

Bai Zhen naturally can't make decisions about this matter without authorization, after all, those two Asura demon generals have the cultivation of "Da Luo Golden Immortal", and they just live here.

People are ordered by their lord to protect the Jin Palace, not to mention that he is white, I'm afraid that the "Three Holy Mother" Yang Chan wants them to do things, they have to use the word "please", right?

"You wait for the good life to guard here, and this commander will go in and tell Princess Jin—"

Bai Zhen didn't dare to slack off, holding the invitation card full of Buddhism in his hand, and hurriedly entered the house to find the "Three Holy Mother".

......

"Mastermother, what do you think should be done about this matter?"

In a side hall, Yang Chan looked at the invitation card in her hand and didn't see any flaws.

It's just an ordinary invitation, it's nothing more than Master Xuanzang leaving a personal Buddhist imprint on it, but anyone who touches this invitation can get a certain amount of Buddha power, at least for a few years.

In addition to the "Three Virgins" Yang Chan in the side hall, the eldest grandson Huanting is also present.

This is the old man of the Jin Palace, after Yang Chan officially took charge, many things in the mansion had to be discussed with the eldest grandson Huanting in advance.

First, after all, the eldest grandson Huanting is the real human race, and she has been in the Jin Palace's mansion for several years, whether it is a corner or a sophisticated person, she is much more familiar than Yang Chan.

Second, whether it is Li Zhi's identity or his current and future achievements, it is inevitable that Yang Chan will not be a woman in the harem.

This eldest grandson Huanting was personally set for Li Zhi by the queen's eldest grandson Wujian many years ago, and there is a little princess of the "Heavenly Demon Palace", and even a daughter.

The Three Virgins are an open-minded person, or rather, she is not a woman who takes the affairs of men and women so seriously.

For the so-called peace of the backyard, she naturally has to have her own helpers, and the eldest grandson in front of her is undoubtedly the best choice.

Therefore, in addition to the major and minor affairs of the Jin Palace, Yang Chan will discuss with the eldest grandson Huanting, and even on the way to cultivation, Yang Chan has not opened a small stove for the eldest grandson Huanting.

Otherwise, with the talent and circumstances of the eldest grandson Huanting, I am afraid that it will be a little later to enter the realm of "Xuan Immortal".

"Commander Bai, it's not easy for this palace to make decisions on your own at this time, you can send someone to invite the two demon generals here to discuss."

After thinking for a moment, Yang Chan replied.

Although it is said that Rutoro and Indra, the two demon generals of Asura, are now under the command of Li Zhi, Yang Chan knows very well in her heart that in addition to Li Zhi himself, the one who can really instruct them should be the little princess of Asura who has not yet met.

There was not much time, and Rutoro and Indra came to the side hall together.

"The last general will participate in the princess of Jin—"

The two did not call the "Three Holy Mother", but directly called "Princess Jin", that is, they met as a courtesy.

"The two demon generals are exempt, this is an invitation from Master Xuanzang of the Great Ci'en Temple to the two of you, and there will be an opening lecture at the 'Big Wild Goose Pagoda after today's Shen Shi."

"I think it's because I admired the two of them, and now the demon clan besieging the city is gone, Master Xuanzang wants to stabilize the hearts of the people through this move, I don't know what you think?"

Yang Chan didn't make a decision for them, but she also named the things she thought of, after all, no matter how Master Xuanzang looked, he should stand in the position of Datang.

"Big brother, this Lao Shizi is preaching, I don't plan to go, let alone listening to him, even if I see those bald donkeys, Lao Lu's brain hurts."

Rutoro glanced at the invitation card first, and casually threw it to Indra on the side.

When they were in the Netherworld Blood Sea, in order to compete for resources and the right to speak in the underworld, the Asura clan had a lot of awkward encounters with the Buddhism represented by the Bodhisattva King of the Earth.

I don't know how many times I've fought big battles and small battles, so I said that the Buddhist masters who died in these two hands are not in the two hands, so do you want to listen to this Master Xuanzang lecture now?

Rutoro was a straight man who would say whatever he wanted in his heart, but Indra was not.

Although his instinctive reaction was also a direct refusal, after all, the entire Asura clan had never had a friendship with the Buddhist sect.

However, after all, Indra is the head of the four demon generals of the Asura clan, and he is also the actual person in charge of the "Heavenly Demon Palace", so he naturally handles human affairs far more than Ruotoro.

Now, the entire Netherworld Blood Sea has undergone abnormal changes, and the two of them may not be able to get out of here if it weren't for the little princess Luo Jia.

There was even an order from the Demon King of Tianbo Xun, asking the two of them to accompany the little princess Luo Jia to join the command of His Royal Highness the King of Terran Jin.

The one sitting in the side hall is the concubine of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and the famous "Three Holy Mother" of the Three Realms.

"Princess Jin, according to your meaning, this Master Xuanzang's opening of the altar to give a lecture this time is not a simple Buddhist behavior?"

Indra heard Yang Chan's voice, but still asked respectfully, he wanted to further confirm his guess.

"This palace said, this matter is an invitation from Master Xuanzang to the two, whether it is a simple Buddhist matter, or a real prayer for the Tang Dynasty, now the entire Chang'an City is looking at the Jin Palace, if it is convenient for the two, it is okay to go and see."

Seeing Indra's sincere inquiry, Yang Chan didn't hold it anymore and directly expressed her attitude.

"Okay, the last general will go to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, as for the third child, it may be bad for him to get there, so stay in the mansion to protect the princess."

Indra also weighed it and felt that it seemed a little inappropriate to really ignore the matter completely.

Aside from anything else, this Master Xuanzang's current cultivation is even higher than that of their brothers, and he is the younger brother of Emperor Tang and the uncle of his lord.

In public and private, in sentiment and reason, it seems that you can't refuse too simply.

"In this case, this palace asks Daoist Yuan to accompany you, although Daoist Yuan is a true Daomen, he has a high reputation in the Tang Dynasty, he goes on behalf of the Jin Palace, and naturally he will not fall into the reputation of the Jin Palace."

Seeing that Indra agreed, Yang Chan proposed again, and the matter was settled.

......

"Come on, Brother Yao, Xuan Ling, Shu Bao, Auxiliary Machine, Biting Jin, all the ministers, today coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the demons outside the city have temporarily retreated.

In the main hall, there were three large tables full of people, all of whom were civil and military ministers of the Zhenguan Dynasty, and many people had not even had a banquet with Li Shimin for several years.

At the same time, in the inner house, headed by the eldest grandson Wujian and Yang Chan, the daughters of the ministers of the court and the central government were feasted, and they also sat at two large tables.

"Hahaha, Your Majesty, I'm not hungry for the wine of the Jin Palace, it's not a day or two, I'm going to drink it a pleasure today."

Without martial arts, others may be more reserved, after all, this is in front of Emperor Tang and in such a special environment.

It's a pity that this Cheng Biting Jin is an alternative, and he is obviously also a character at the peak of "Yuan Baby", but he still loves this appetite so much.

"You old man, when didn't you let your drink go under the table? I don't dare to say anything else, but the wine in the pheasant slave's house can't be found anywhere in Datang."

Li Shimin has abdicated, at least he no longer regards himself as an emperor in his heart, and most of the three major tables in front of him are old brothers who follow him to fight the country.

In the past, the days of licking blood together, drinking and eating meat together seemed to be just yesterday.

Later, when he entered the court, he ascended to the emperor's throne, and these people were also ranked as the princes of the country, wearing red and purple, but they lacked the most sincere feelings.

At this point, Da Lao Cheng showed Li Shimin's mind the most, which is why Li Shimin appreciated it so much, and even bit the gold.

Speaking of the wine in the Jin Palace, not all of them were brought from the Heavenly Court, how could there be so many immortal wines for him to bring.

It's just that in the past two or three years since the "Three Holy Mother" Yang Chan settled in the Jin Palace, she has also cooperated with Sun Simiao to brew a lot of fine wines, most of which are medicinal wines, which have the effect of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan, nourishing qi and quenching the muscles.

Of course, Yang Chan, the recipe for winemaking, can come out, and Sun Simiao, the workman of winemaking, can bring Luo Tong and Qin Huaiyu to Zhang Luo, and this matter of naming the wine is naturally made by Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

As Li Zhi expected, his father was really unexpected, and finally named the medicinal wine brewed by the Jin Dynasty as "Zhenguan Brewing", but he did not blind the character of the Tang Emperor's life.

......

At the beginning of the lanterns, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, the chips are staggered, and the Buddha's voice trembles.

The monarchs and ministers in the palace of the Jin Dynasty enjoyed together, and the Buddha sound under the "Big Wild Goose Pagoda" was lingering, and the entire Three Realms were almost plunged into a miasma of black smoke, but only in this Chang'an City, how much can you still find a trace of the feeling of festival.

"Gao Ming, the pheasant slave is not here, you, the eldest brother, will go to the bars for your uncles and uncles for your father-"

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, who was becoming more and more stable on the side, and suddenly made a request.

It stands to reason that this request is nothing, and it is completely reasonable to say it even on such an occasion.

It's just that Li Shimin mentioned Li Zhi's name again, in other words, because Li Zhi was not there, he Li Chengqian had the opportunity and qualification to toast.

This sentence was heard clearly by the three major tables present, and someone was already whispering for a while.

Li Chengqian looked at his father with some astonishment, and after a long time, he finally understood what his father meant.

Are you still beating yourself? ——

Li Shimin officially announced his abdication, and Li Zhi stayed away from Chang'an City from time to time.

Of course, Li Chengqian knew very well in his heart that he would not be able to compete with Li Zhi no matter what, and he had already given up that unrealistic idea.

It's a pity that he doesn't think like that, it doesn't mean that those ministers of Datang don't think like that, how many people really know the inside story?

Even, every once in a while, there will be some middle- and lower-level civil and military letters, asking for the establishment of the position of the monarch as soon as possible.

In the eyes of most of these ministers, since Li Chengqian is the crown prince and has been in charge of the country for many years, not to mention how good he is, at least there have been no major mistakes, and he deserves to be on the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs is still like this, not to mention the ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty, or the thousands of soldiers in the army.

Take these civil and military forces in today's hall, except for the core dozen or so important ministers, others really think that the crown prince Li Chengqian must be the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

As a result, Tang Emperor Li Shimin's words suddenly made many people confused, and some people woke up from alcohol.

"Yes, the son-in-law will toast the ministers on behalf of his father and the pheasant slave—"

Since my father has written all the scripts, Li Chengqian naturally has to cooperate with the performance, and even every time he respects a minister, Li Chengqian has to recite Li Zhi's name.

"Your Majesty, why are you so troubled? ......」

The eldest grandson Wuji, who was closer to Li Shimin, approached Li Shimin and said softly.

This is not only Zhao Guogong of the Tang Dynasty, but also Li Shimin's brother-in-law, and Li Chengqian and Li Zhi's maternal uncle.

has silently recognized Li Chengqian in his heart for so many years, and has supported Li Chengqian in practice for so many years, but the heart of this eldest grandson Uncle has not completely cooled down.

"Auxiliary, do you see the moon in the sky?"

Li Shimin did not answer the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, but raised his head and asked the eldest grandson Wuji an irrelevant question.

Li Shimin did not suppress his voice, so the people around him also put down their wine glasses and chopsticks one after another and looked at them in unison.

"Your Majesty, today is the night of the fifteenth full moon, the bright moon is in the sky, shining on the earth, and we and other monarchs and ministers are happy here, which is really a fortunate thing for the Tang Dynasty——"

Seeing so many eyes, Eldest Sun Wuji suddenly realized that he was a little reckless, and he shouldn't have said such things on such an occasion.

It's a pity that the matter has come to this point, and it is too late for the eldest grandson Wuji to regret it, so he has to follow Li Shimin's words and make an official article.

"Haha, auxiliary, your mind and vision are still too limited. What I want to say is that we can only drink and admire the moon here, but the pheasant slave is the one who can go up to heaven and be on a par with the Moon Palace."

"When you are long—"

Li Shimin seemed to be a very casual sentence, but the eldest grandson Wuji failed to stabilize the wine bottle in his hand, and fell to the ground with a thud.

......

"Tut-tut, a group of people who don't know whether they are alive or dead, they still have the heart to eat and drink here, and they will send you to hell tonight—"

Just when everyone was drinking, they suddenly felt that it was dark in front of them, and the bright moon that was obviously hanging high in the air was covered by something black.

When everyone looked at it again, they found that a large group of black-clothed masked people floated in the air, wasn't this the person of the demon clan who had disappeared for three days?

Looking up, the demons who came to attack were afraid that there would be no less than a few hundred, and it was the "black robe" and the "Ying Demon" standing at the forefront, followed by four people who looked like commanders, each with a hundred and ten demon soldiers and demon generals.

"You must not leave the main hall, the Jin Palace's own large array is guarded, sons and daughters, follow this commander to meet the enemy-"

The first one to jump into the air was naturally Bai Zhen, the guard commander of the Jin Palace.

I saw the "Zixiao God Thunder Gun" shaking in his hand, and after several years of tempering, Bai Zhen was finally able to use the gun given by Li Zhi normally.

A set of "bloodthirsty" gun tricks and a set of "God Exterminator" gun tricks are definitely the number one existence in the entire Jin Palace.

On the left and right sides of Bai Zhen, it was Luo Tong and Qin Huaiyu.

As for the other sixty guards, well, although those people are also strong in the army or in the "Lijing Gate", none of them have broken through to the "Heavenly Immortals".

According to the formation, these people are okay to guard the gate, but if they really fight against the demons who come to attack, they will still be worse.

Bai Zhen and the other three had just flown into the air, and several more people flew out of the back house of the Jin Palace, and a lotus lamp was raised high, and the clear light was sprinkled repeatedly, as if it was guarding the entire Jin Palace.

"Lingtuo, Sennaty, Guyang, Brahmin, you four go and challenge and see how these weak Terrans can respond—"

Seeing that the Jin Palace's mansion seemed to be prepared, the "black robe" waved the iron rod in his hand and named the names of the four demon leaders.

These four people are the four people who lead the demon soldiers and demon generals behind the "black robe" and the "Ying Demon", and they are also four of the "six spirit generals" of the demon race.

In the early days of the "Da Luo Golden Immortal", when he was in the Demon Realm, three of the "Six Spirit Generals" placed the incomplete "Three Talents Array", and they could be trapped in Nezha for a long time.

Unexpectedly, the demon clan that disappeared for three days actually waited for four more "Da Luo Jin Xian" level generals.

"Princess Jin, let's let Lao Lu take the lead, these little miscellaneous things, Lao Lu really knows a few."

At some point, Ruotoro also appeared in mid-air.

In the middle of the moon, the monarchs and ministers were happy, but this Ruo Toro did not go over to join in the fun.

After all, he is not a human race, and he has such a respectful face, not every civil and military officer in the court can calmly face this demon general of the Asura clan.

However, Lu Toro, who was addicted to alcohol, naturally did not sit idle, but pulled Hou Junji, who came to the Jin Palace, to deliver the letter and did not leave, and the two were also drinking in a side house.

As soon as this group of demons appeared, Lu Toro knew, so he hid in the dark and snooped, until the other party sent four early masters of the "Great Luo Golden Immortal" in one go, and Lu Toro showed up.

"Haha, you're just an ugly ghost of the Asura clan left, and if you are really afraid of you, even if you are completely wiped out today, your ancestor can't blame the head of this seat."

It was determined that in the Jin King's Mansion, there was only one Lu Toro left at the level of "Da Luo Golden Immortal", and the "black robe" also breathed a sigh of relief.

He even regretted his decision three days ago, he knew that the "Six Spirit Generals" could come to four supports, so why did he use that Buddha.

"Phew, you unclean demon cubs, grandpa overtook you tonight—"

Well, a killing god of the Asura clan accidentally wanted to steal the monks' jobs?

It's all old opponents, where is there so much nonsense, Ruotoro will kill him directly, otherwise, really wait for these four to wait for him?

"Demon General Lu, divide one between me and the other three, and you can deal with the other three."

Seeing that Lu Toro fell into the disadvantage as soon as he stretched out his hand, Bai Zhen gritted his teeth and took Luo Tong and Qin Huaiyu to kill him.

Today's Bai Zhen is just the early stage of the "Taiyi Golden Immortal", but Luo Tong and Qin Huaiyu quickly raised their realm to the middle and late stages of the "Xuan Immortal" in the brutal battle.

However, with the cultivation of the three of them, they want to divide a master in the early stage of the "Great Luo Golden Immortal", how is it different from looking for death?

Fortunately, these three people also came prepared, and a set of pure "Heaven, Earth and Man Three Talents Formation" learned from the "Three Holy Mothers" raised the combined force of the three to the peak of the "Taiyi Golden Immortal".

At least for a short period of time, he was barely able to deal with a person in the early stage of the "Great Luo Golden Immortal".

"Hmph, ignorant Terran, do you want to use crowd tactics? Come on, a hundred demon soldiers—"

Good guys, Bai Zhen and they are just three to one, and with a wave of the "black robe" iron rod here, a hundred demon soldiers came directly behind them.

These hundred demon soldiers are basically the cultivation of the "Yuan Infant" period to the "Tribulation" period, but they are similar to the sixty people who defended the formation in the Jin Palace, which seems to be inconspicuous, the key is that there are many people.

"Whew-"

Before a hundred demon soldiers could rush in front of Bai Zhen and the three of them, a high-pitched dragon groan sounded in mid-air, and a huge crimson dragon flew out of the Jin Palace, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed it according to the hundred demon soldiers.

"Wow, Sister Ao Ling is so handsome—"

As soon as the two sides fought, it became white-hot, maybe only Yun'er beside Yang Chan had this rare childlike innocence......
