Zeguo entered the war map, and the people were happy to be happy.

Relying on the words of the king to seal the marquis, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither.

It is rumored that the First World War was full of sorrow, and the strong troops on both sides of the strait have not stopped.

Whoever says that Cangjiang is always fine, and there has been a long blood struggle recently.

This poem was originally in another time and space, more than a hundred years later, but at this time, it was plagiarized by Li Zhi in advance.

Originally, after the defeat of the demon clan, when Li Zhi and his party were about to leave the heavenly court, Tai Bai Xing was ordered by the Great Heavenly Venerable to come to invite the Tang Emperor.

In order to commend the loyalty and courage of the immortal generals from all walks of life in this battle, Da Tianzun intends to open a "peach event" in Yaochi.

Upon learning of this, Li Zhi shook his head and was silent, and then "wrote" this poem that has been passed down through the ages on the spot, asked Tai Bai Xing to transfer on his behalf, and then walked away.

What are you kidding, today's Li Zhi naturally won't covet those two mouthfuls of elixir and jade liquid, and he is no longer obsessed with the peach that is popular in the Three Realms, to participate in such a nutritious event, it is better to go home and spend more time with his wife and children.

"Haha, Jiulang is Jiulang in the end, I almost forgot about it, he was already famous in Chang'an City when he was eight years old, let's go back too——"

Seeing Li Zhi walking so freely, Yang Jian couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, and sincerely admired Li Zhilai.

Of course, Li Zhi's current identity as the lord of the Tang Dynasty is indeed a little sensitive to participate in such a grand event.

If it is replaced by any emperor in the world, even if it is Li Shimin back then, it may be a good story of the Three Realms.

It's a pity that Li Zhi is not Li Shimin, let alone any human emperor, he is Li Zhi, the unique Li Zhi.

Perhaps, from this poem, we can see the "reason" of Li Zhi's refusal, but Yang Jian can understand the real reason behind this.

If there really is such a day, how should I, Yang Jian, act?

......

Several degrees of autumn are strong, and the most is the fragrance of osmanthus.

When Li Zhi and his entourage returned to the world, they found that it had entered August, which was the season of high and cool autumn.

In the seventh year of Yonghui, the day of the autumn equinox.

"Senior Brother Ao, Su Zhen, let's wait for the three of us to walk back to Chang'an, and by the way, take a look at the people's sentiments along the way, I, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, am really a little irresponsible."

Taken together, it has been more than five years since Li Zhi left Datang, and the place where they landed was in the southwest of Chang'an City, a place called Lantian.

"Master, this place is so beautiful, you see those people who are busy in the fields, although their heads are full of sweat, they are full of happy smiles, it looks like this year is another bumper harvest year."

At this time, Bai Suzhen still had a trace of decisiveness, she was curious about everything, and even ran to the edge of the sky to ask those farmers this and that.

"Hehe, Senior Brother Ao, after this battle, I think you won't hide from Su Zhen anymore, right? Although she is my disciple, where do we cultivators have so many concerns?"

"I know that you have a heavy responsibility in the Dragon Clan, and I also need to revitalize the Tang Dynasty, and even the entire Human Clan, do you want to never get married and have children?"

"Senior Brother Ao, you know me, you are most unaccustomed to those practices of annihilating the 'nature' for the sake of cultivation, if you give up everything for the sake of immortality, then what is the meaning of immortality?"

"After returning to Chang'an this time, I want to take the opportunity to do your business, as a big man, you can't let a girl's family speak first about this kind of thing, right?"

Looking at Bai Suzhen, who was happily like a butterfly in the field, Li Zhi suddenly felt that he was a little "old"?

Just counting the age of this life, he has passed the age of confusion, but his face is still in his twenties.

Of course, compared to Xiaobailong and Bai Suzhen, there is no comparison at all, but this change of identity and position, and the heavy responsibility on his body, sometimes really make Li Zhi feel a little uncomfortable.

"Lord, I actually like the white girl, but ...... The matter of the dragon clan is not as simple as it seems, there is

These things are also things that I slowly learned after I broke through the 'Da Luo Jin Immortal......

The little white dragon looked like he wanted to say something, and looked at Bai Suzhen's gaze, in addition to pity, he was more deeply worried.

"Haha, Senior Brother Ao, I found that you are going back more and more? When you didn't break through the 'Da Luo Jin Immortal, I saw that you were still not afraid of the sky and the earth, why did you become stronger now that your cultivation was stronger, but you were afraid of your hands and feet?"

"Since you call me 'Lord, and Su Zhen is my eldest disciple, I will naturally not let you be bullied one day with me."

"The demon clan has been ravaging the Three Realms, although they have returned from Heaven this time, their core strength is still there, but Heavenly Court has suffered a lot."

"No one can say how long the demons will be arrogant, but I plan to take the opportunity to make some moves, and our strength is still too weak."

Li Zhi didn't ask the little white dragon about his concerns, but instead took all the problems over, in Li Zhi's opinion, even if the dragon clan has a problem, is it more serious than the problem of the human race?

"This nobleman, if you don't dislike it, please use a bowl of water—"

At this time, an old man who was over the age of sixteen came next to him, with a clay pot on the ground and a ceramic bowl in his hand, and the bowl was clear and cold water.

Although it was already autumn, the period before noon was still a little stuffy, not to mention that today's sun was just right, and the old man's chest and back were a little wet.

It seems that the old man came to deliver water, and in the field next to him, there are two men and a woman busy, and there is a child of five or six years old, catching crickets and playing in the field, which should be the old man's family.

"Thank you, uncle, I am not a nobleman in Xia, I live in Chang'an City, and take advantage of the cool autumn weather to go out of the city and walk around."

Li Zhi enthusiastically took the ceramic bowl handed over by the old man, without thinking about it, he drank it all, and a trace of sweetness entered his stomach from his throat.

Seeing that Li Zhi drank all the water he had sent, the old man smiled even more happily.

He was the most simple farmer, and seeing that such a handsome boy really didn't dislike himself, the old man's sincerity was treated well after all.

"It turned out to be a noble person from Chang'an City, no wonder you have such a bearing, much stronger than us who eat in the soil."

The old man respectfully took the ceramic bowl and poured another bowl for the little white dragon, although the little white dragon was not thirsty, seeing that Li Zhi had drunk it, he naturally couldn't refuse.

"Is my husband a native of Lantian ? How many people are there in the family? How is this year's harvest, enough for the family to eat and drink?"

After drinking a bowl of water from the old man, they were close to each other, and Li Zhi sat on the ridge casually and motioned for the old man to sit down as well.

It turned out that the old man's surname was Xu, and he lived in Xujiazhuang, which was not far from here, and the whole Zhuangzi was not big, and there were more than 100 households, and more than ninety percent of them were surnamed Xu.

It was the old man's two sons and second daughter-in-law who were working in the field, and the one who was catching and playing with crickets was naturally the old man's grandson.

The youngest son is just thirteen years old this year, and in any era, he can be regarded as a typical old son.

In fact, the old man also has an eldest son, but he died in the battle of Northern Xinjiang many years ago, and if he is still alive now, he will also be past the age of standing.

"It turned out that after Zhongliang, Ling Lang sacrificed his life for the country, didn't you get a pension?"

Hearing that the eldest son of the old man also died in the battle of Northern Xinjiang that year, Li Zhi naturally respected him more.

"Of course there is, in addition to giving money and grain, the fifty acres of land planted now are also issued by the imperial court."

"My youngest son is still studying in the village school, and the youngest grandson is over six years old, and he plans to send it over, this year's harvest is good, and there is a 'dragon girl' in Chang'an City, and we are naturally in good weather here."

When the old man said "Dragon Girl", he unconsciously arched his hand in the direction of Chang'an City, and the gratitude and piety could not be pretended.

The old man's mouth, "Dragon Lady."

Mother", Li Zhi naturally knew who he was talking about, it was Ao Ling, the seventh princess of the East China Sea who was canonized by him as "Concubine De".

Back then, Heavenly Court was besieged by the demon army, and the Heavenly Court officials who were in charge of raining in the world could not easily enter and exit the South Heavenly Gate, so Li Zhi took matters into his own hands and let Ao Ling take charge of the rain distribution in the Tang Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, if the court has returned to normal today, will his daughter-in-law still "occupy" this job and not lose it?

"Uncle, I didn't bring anything with me in a hurry, you can take this ingot of silver, it can be regarded as a scholarship for your youngest son and grandson."

What should be understood, Li Zhi has also understood.

At least from the perspective of the surroundings of Chang'an City, it has been developing on the right path in recent years, and a child from an ordinary peasant family can go to school, which is a very remarkable phenomenon.

"This ...... This can't be helped, it's just a bowl of water, how can the old man accept your money, don't you let others poke the old man's backbone?"

No matter how hard Li Zhi gave it, he was pushed back by this old man Xu.

"This big brother, yes yes won't ask for your silver, so you can put it away......

At this time, the little boy who was playing there came running up and down, probably tired of playing, and came to beg for a drink.

"Hehe, okay, the big brother will put it away. Come, big brother will pour you a bowl of water to drink."

A five or six-year-old child has such an awareness, Li Zhi is really a little relieved, and he picked up the clay pot on the ground and secretly turned a "sour date" into water.

This "sour jujube" was also cultivated by Sun Simiao, although the effect is not too magical, the medicinal effect of this "sour jujube" is scattered into the clay pot, which is enough for several members of Xu's family to prolong their lives and prevent all diseases.

"yes, this water is so sweet, it's so delicious—"

"This ...... This is a fairy method, have we met the immortals?"

Hearing the shouts of his little grandson, Xu Laohan took a sip himself, and suddenly felt that his back pain for many years had disappeared, and his whole body was full of strength?

"Noble? ——」

When Mr. Xu wanted to find Li Zhi again, he found that the three people had long since disappeared.

......

"Master, these people are really easy to satisfy, they have stuttering, clothes to wear, a house to live in, and a safe family, it will be a lifetime."

In the end, she is a kind-hearted woman, and after walking down for half a day, Bai Suzhen has the deepest understanding, and she also helps several farmers suffering from hidden diseases from time to time.

Li Zhi also inadvertently remembered that Bai Suzhen, who "formerly", was proficient in medicine, so she couldn't lose this skill just because she worshipped herself as a teacher, right?

So, Li Zhi asked for all the prescriptions, medical skills, and acupuncture methods from Sun Simiao, and gave them all to Bai Suzhen, and even gave away what he had learned in later generations.

As for how much Bai Suzhen can learn in the end, it is not up to Li Zhi, an irresponsible teacher, to take care of it.

It's been more than ten years, and Bai Suzhen, who either lives in the palace or fights on the battlefield with Li Zhi and learns medical skills, really has no place to show it.

"Therefore, the superior should cherish these ordinary people even more, but whenever there are corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they will not tolerate it—"

Fortunately, after walking for most of the day, the entire Lantian County was taken around by them, and they did not find a single case of robbing men and women and fish and flesh people.

"Lord, shall we return to Chang'an today?"

Seeing that the sun is about to set, this place is only more than a hundred miles away from Chang'an, with their footsteps, can it still be called a distance?

"Don't go back yet, let's find a random place to stay for the night."

During the day, he mainly visited the fields, and since he arrived in Lantian Villa, Li Zhi naturally didn't want to let go of the famous Lantian Villa, but he didn't know that there was a "Lantian Villa" now?

Lantian belongs to the land of Gyeonggi, because of the beautiful natural landscape of Lantian and the Tang Dynasty, it attracted many literati and scholars, dignitaries and nobles to live in Lantian, buy other businesses, and build manors.

The beauty of the end of the south is the blue field, thriving

The English is Gongchuan.

The mountains of the Rim River are gentle, the valley is wide, and the trickle converges like a spoke, so the name is called "Rim River".

The green mountains of the Rim River, the peaks and peaks, the strange flowers and vines are all over the valley, and the streams and waterfalls can be seen everywhere, which can be compared with the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

When he visited during the day, Li Zhi already knew that this year's autumn was coming, and all the people from all over the Tang Dynasty gathered in Chang'an City.

Of course, Lantian is close to Chang'an and is such a picturesque place, which naturally attracts many literati and students to visit and linger.

At this time, Li Zhi and the three of them have come to the foot of the Gongchuan River, there are several mountain villas, and there are many shops, and many tourists support the entertainment industry here, but the Lantian County 20 miles away is compared to it.

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, singing and dancing are leveled, visitors are like weaving, and the veins of oblique sunshine are veins.

"Let's go, let's choose this 'Jade Smoke Pavilion'—"

In the place where the mountain pass is held, there is a two-story restaurant, which is not as splendid as the big restaurant in Chang'an City, but it is more elegant and exquisite.

How far away it was, I heard the sound of silk and bamboo in the "Jade Smoke Pavilion", and occasionally there was a noise of punching orders.

"Brother Tingzhi, in terms of identity, you are an official in the court, and in terms of age, you are also the eldest of our ranks, why should you do this first poem today——"

On the second floor of the "Jade Smoke Pavilion", in addition to the scattered seats in the lobby, there are four spacious private rooms, and the other three rooms have not yet been mastered, and the largest "Zhu Yupan" has long been crowded and staggered.

"Zi'an's words are wrong, there is a sightseeing brother here, and Chun'an dares to make a mistake-"

......

Chang'an City to the west, thousands of miles away, east of Shanzhou there is a country, said: Tuyuhun.

Tuyuhun, also known as Tuhun and Henan, is the country built by Murong Tuyuhun, the leader of the Xianbei tribe, who migrated to this place, and used his own name as the name of the country, and now it has lasted for more than 300 years.

Tuyuhun borders the Tang Dynasty on the east, north and west, but it is close to the southwestern country of Tubo, the territory is not too small, but the population is not very large.

A few years ago, the demon clan ravaged Nanzhan Buzhou, and Datang was naturally the first to bear the brunt, and Tuyuhun, who was sandwiched between Datang and Tubo, did not escape the bad luck.

At this time, the lord of Tuyuhun was Murong Nuo, married Princess Honghua of the Tang Dynasty, and took the position of Captain of the Tang Dynasty.

With this relationship, Tuyuhun had close contacts with the Tang Dynasty, and many Tuyuhun aristocrats, merchants, and students went west to Chang'an.

There are also those people in the Tang Dynasty who are lively and courageous, and are willing to try their luck in Tuyuhun.

The kingdom of Tuyuhun is in the "Fu Qi City", which is a long and narrow city, less than two miles from east to west, but six miles long from north to south, which is made of gravel, sand and soil.

The city is divided into two layers, but the inner city is a boxy city, more than 60 zhang long from east to west, and the same is true from north to south.

The inner walls are made of rammed earth and are still well preserved after hundreds of years.

The city wall is four zhang high, the base is six zhang wide, only the east city gate is opened on weekdays, the door width is more than three zhang, there is a folding corner outside the door to cover the wall.

There is a central axis avenue from the city gate to the west in the city, and the architectural styles on both sides of the avenue are similar, all of which are designed as three-way houses with a length of 20 zhang and a width of 10 zhang.

At the westernmost end, there is a huge square, surrounded by all kinds of strange things, which seem to be used for sacrifices?

The Tang Dynasty revered Taoism, but there was no trace of Taoism in Tuyuhun, and their state religion was shamanism, but it was an ancient religion that advocated ancestor worship, totem worship and nature worship.

No one can say exactly how this religion came to be, and its distinct tribal character is similar to that of the Wu people.

When the demons invaded Tuyuhun, it didn't take long for them to conquer their national capital, Fuqi City, and all the royal children, except for those who were in the fiefdoms, were all killed.

And although the lord of the country, Murong Nuo Haobo, survived, he was also put under house arrest by the demons with Princess Honghua, and appeared in front of the courtiers as a puppet from time to time.

The biggest purpose of the demons to conquer Tuyuhun is to prepare for the future counterattack on the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, in order to concentrate on attacking Heavenly Court, the power sent by the demon clan to Tuyuhun is actually very weak, and the strongest demon general is only "Taiyi Xuan Immortal".

It was this "Taiyi Xuan Immortal" who led more than 100 demon soldiers to directly sweep away the entire Tuyuhun resistance forces.

The strongest elder in the shamanic sect is only equivalent to the existence of "golden immortals" or even "Xuan immortals" in the demon race, and they can't set off the slightest storm at all.

It's a pity that although the demon clan in Tuyuhun is still a little restrained, it didn't last more than a year before it was completely wiped out.

The palace gate was opened, and the lord Murong Nuo and Princess Honghua were rescued, and Tuyuhun regained his power, and the whole country celebrated.

It seems that everything is no different from before the attack of the demons.,The only regret is that the lord of the country has no heirs.,And the former state religion shamanism,It's also changed to Buddhism.。

Yes, it was the four Buddhist monks who destroyed Tuyuhun's demon clan and supported Tuyuhun's Murong regime.

In exchange, Buddhism became the state religion of Tuyuhun, and the four Buddhist monks became the national teacher of Tuyuhun, known as the "Alai National Teacher".

Not only that, but the other three monks also have their own duties.

First, he built a temple outside the city with the strength of the whole country, and personally respected the monks of Tuyuhun Buddhism, widely received believers and promoted Buddhism.

On the one hand, the royal guards responsible for recruiting and training Tuyuhun to protect the safety of the "Fu Qi City", and many matters such as the recruitment, selection, and punishment of the royal guard personnel were all in the hands of the four monks, and no one from the original Tuyuhun was allowed to interfere.

First, all the troops in Tuyuhun are reorganized, eliminated, and newly recruited, and it is no longer just a matter of recruiting soldiers from the local herdsmen in Tuyuhun, as long as they can meet the requirements and are willing to join the army, they can all be accepted.

In this way, in just half a year, the entire Tuyuhun has formed a strong combat force.

At this time, these four monks recommended the actual controller behind them to the face of Murong Nuo, the lord of the Tuyuhun Kingdom.

Murong Nuo, who is that?

Fortunately, he was also killed from a series of open and secret battles back then, and he has been maneuvering between the two big countries of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo for decades, and he still has some experience in the city and struggle.

When he saw the people who had been elected by these four Buddhist monks, Murong Nuo completely understood that he had fallen into someone else's calculations half a year ago.

It's a pity that now he has no one as the head of the country, but he has no rights.

Compared to the year when the demons controlled Tuyuhun, these people in the Buddhist sect still respect him, Murong Nuo and Princess Honghua now have no heirs, and they are also dying, even if they want to resist, where can they go to find help?

So, Murong Nuo started to be a puppet with peace of mind, at least he was still a decent puppet.

And the one who was elected by the four major Buddhist monks did not directly come forward to take over the power of Tuyuhun, but lived deep in the palace, with a three-year-old daughter in simple terms.

It's just that this person recommended a prime minister to Murong Nuo Haobo to handle Tuyuhun military affairs and diplomatic relations.

Another half a year.

......

"Are nobles also from the Tang Dynasty?"

Tuyuhun's palace is not much of a place, and there has never been a proper name, but it was only after this person came that he named it: Mingtang.

"This palace is indeed a person from the Tang Dynasty, and it has something to do with you. Princess Honghua, although you are a member of the Tang Dynasty, you are only a collateral of the surname Li, and you have not made any achievements in Tuyuhun for many years."

"Now that the palace has taken over Tuyuhun, I advise Princess Honghua to give up all unrealistic illusions and be able to cooperate with the palace with peace of mind.

Called a "nobleman" by Princess Honghua

It's actually a woman?

"Mother, since we are all from Datang, why don't we go back to Datang? Taiping has never been to Datang, but I always hear people say that Datang is the most powerful country in the world, when can we go to Datang? ——」

The little girl who was playing on the side, hearing the conversation between this noble man and Princess Honghua, didn't even want her favorite candied fruit, and ran over to ask.

"Taiping, this matter is a long story, when you grow up a few years later, my mother will definitely tell you everything. Although the candied fruit is good, you can't eat too much, you haven't finished your homework for today, have you?"

"Datang, we will go back after all, but we can't go back empty-handed, that would make people look down on our mother and daughter."

"Taiping, you are already more than three years old, but you have just completed the 'foundation building, hey, you little girl, you are too wasteful of this talent."

Looking at the little daughter who was still stained with candied fruit residues at the corners of her mouth, this noble man rarely bent down, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Amitabha, Lord, the Prime Minister has come to visit, saying that the three-year plan of Tuyuhun that you have made has been completed, and you are meeting you outside the Ming Hall."

Although Princess Honghua is here, the noble man is the real master here.

"Let him come in, Senior Brother Alai, you take Taiping down, this little girl's schoolwork will be doubled."

The loving mother has many defeated children, and Xiao Taiping's father is not around, but this noble man does not want to relax his teaching to her for a moment.

"The minister has seen the Lord—"

Ah Lai left with a reluctant little Taiping, and Princess Honghua naturally didn't dare to stay in the "Ming Hall", and when the Prime Minister visited, he naturally had something important to discuss.

The prime minister of Tuyuhun who came in was dressed as a Confucian student, and he looked like he could be in his thirties? There is a slight mustache.

The face is like a crown of jade, the eyebrows are colorful, the eyes are like stars, especially the eyes, like two black gems, shining with wisdom.

This prime minister even has a "Golden Immortal" level of cultivation!

"Hehe, Xiaohu, are you here? There are no outsiders here, so why do you have to be so solemn, just call me 'second sister' when I was a child."

"You have the ambition to help the community, the talent of the heavens and the earth, but you want to follow me to this wild place, if you stay in the Tang Dynasty, although the stars in Chang'an City are brilliant, you may not be able to be among the best!"

Seeing the arrival of the prime minister, the nobleman who was originally holding it also stood up and even poured a cup of tea himself.

"Don't be like this, the Lord, for good birds choose trees to perch on, and virtuous ministers choose to serve them. Since entering Tuyuhun, you and I have been the difference between the ministers and the lords, and the past has passed like a cloud of smoke, so let him go."

"It took ten days for Naichen to write down the Tuyuhun Ten Policies for Three Years, if everything goes well, maybe in less than three years, I will be able to enter Tubo in the south, and at least half of Tubo's territory will be eaten."

People in their thirties, and suddenly they were called by their names again, and the prime minister was obviously a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, there were no outsiders in the "Ming Hall", otherwise I really didn't know how to end it.

"Hehe, well, I won't be difficult for you anymore. If you are willing to help me today, your name of Di Huaiying will surely spread to the world—"
