Li Zhen was temporarily guarded by the guards in a small tent not far from Wu Zetian, because Li Zhen was only 100 steps away from Wu Zetian when he shot the leopard, which violated the taboo that the Son of Heaven was not allowed to use force within 100 steps, and he could not be free until the Son of Heaven issued an edict of forgiveness.

Li Zhen sat in the tent and pondered the cause and effect of this incident, Xue Huaiyi mentioned yì winter hunting, in order to take the opportunity of this winter hunt to get rid of Shangguan Wan'er.

Although he had vaguely felt that Wei Tuan'er and Xue Huaiyi would have a plan, he never imagined that they would actually use the beast, and fortunately, his brother-in-law Cao Wen was frightened by the beast in the Wu Mansion, so that he had such a quick wit after meeting Wu Furong.

However, this incident also revealed the relationship between Wu Furong and Xue Huaiyi, and now the question is, should he take the opportunity to reveal the truth?

Although Li Zhen had this impulse, reason told him that unless Wu Zetian had the intention to kill Xue Huaiyi, he would not be able to bring down Xue Huaiyi, but would put himself to death.

Just thinking about it, as soon as the curtain was raised, Wu Youxu walked in quickly, and Li Zhen hurriedly got up and saluted.

Wu Youxu smiled and waved his hand, "Sit down!"

Li Zhen could see from Wu Youxu's expression that he didn't poke the basket, otherwise, he would definitely walk in worriedly, and sighed repeatedly, this Wu Youxu doesn't have any city, everything will be on his face.

Wu Youxu also sat down opposite Li Zhen, groaned and asked, "This matter is too unexpected, didn't you go out hunting, how could you come back in time?"

Later, the Holy Lord will definitely ask Li Zhen in person, as the general of Qianniuwei, Wu Youxu must have detailed information.

Li Zhen smiled: "Does the general want to know the truth, or listen to my simple words?"

Wu Youxu looked at him deeply and said, "Just tell me what happened! I don't want to know what happened behind the scenes." ”

"In that case, the humble duty will be repaid truthfully!"

Li Zhen told them in detail about the fact that they were attacked by wild wolves in the woods and the place where the beasts were now trained, but he deliberately omitted to see Wu Furong and Wei Tuan'er.

"The humble position was because he saw a dummy dressed very much like Shangguan Sheren, so he realized that Shangguan Sheren would be in danger, so he rushed back in time, fortunately he came in time and just saved Shangguan Sheren. ”

After pondering for a long time, Wu Youxu shook his head and said: "You must not say anything about the current beast tamer, otherwise it will lead to a bloody storm, and I don't know how many innocent people will die for it, remember, this is just an accident, and it is also my order for you to come back, I will cover for you." ”

Li Zhen nodded silently, this was actually his idea.

At this time, a guard walked into the big tent and said, "General Wu, there is an edict from the saint, pass on Li Zhen to meet you!"

"I know, let's go!"

"Remember what I just said. ”

Wu Youxu patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be nervous, no matter what others say, but you saved Shangguan Sheren, and the Holy Lord is very grateful to you in his heart." ”

"It is a capital offense to shoot an arrow with a bow within a hundred paces, and the sin is unforgivable, and the person must be put to death. ”

In the big tent of the golden roof, Xue Huaiyi desperately lobbied Wu Zetian to execute Li Zhen, he was really resentful in his heart, his carefully arranged plan was about to succeed, but it was destroyed by Li Zhen at the last moment, how could he not be extremely annoyed, he was almost mad, so he grabbed Li Zhen's handle of archery in 100 steps and persuaded Wu Zetian regardless of it.

But Wu Zetian lowered his head to review the papers, and did not say anything, as if he had not heard Xue Huaiyi's lobbying, Wei Tuan'er, who was standing behind Wu Zetian, was secretly anxious, she knew Wu Zetian's thoughts very well, and it was too late to reward Li Zhen now, where would he deal with him.

Wei Tuan'er desperately glanced at Xue Huaiyi and asked him not to say any more, but Xue Huaiyi was already dizzy, where could he see Wei Tuan'er's eyes.

He reluctantly continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, this kind of thing can't be precedent, if Your Majesty doesn't punish him severely, there will be more people who violate the ban, and that is the assassin." ”

"Ahem, ahem!"

Wei Tuan'er finally couldn't help it, coughed lightly twice, Xue Huaiyi was reminded at this time, looked up at Wei Tuan'er, but he didn't understand Wei Tuan'er's expression, blinked at Wei Tuan'er in confusion, half-opened his mouth, and asked her what she meant?

At this time, Wu Zetian suddenly raised his eyes, staring sharply at Xue Huaiyi, although Wei Tuan'er was standing behind her, but from Xue Huaiyi's expression, she knew what these two were doing?

Daring to look at her in front of her, Wu Zetian suddenly became furious, slapped the table heavily with a ruler, and there was a 'snap' sound, which frightened Xue Huaiyi and Wei Tuan'er and hurriedly lowered their heads.

Wu Zetian pointed at Xue Huaiyi and ordered the guards at the tent, "Drive him out!"

Several guards stepped forward and pushed Xue Huaiyi, Xue Huaiyi was full of shame, hugged his head and ran away, Wei Tuan'er was also so frightened that he knelt on the ground, Wu Zetian pointed at her and scolded: "If you dare to collude with him again, beware that I peel your skin!"

"Slaves don't dare!"

"Get out!"

Wu Zetian couldn't wait to slap this cheap woman over with a slap, but because of the identity of the emperor, he suppressed the anger in his heart.

Wei Tuan'er was so frightened that her face turned pale and left in a panic, Wu Zetian let out a long sullen breath, many things in her heart were like a mirror, but Wu Zetian's face was blue, and she said to herself: "It seems that I am too arrogant to indulge him!"

He asked Shen Nanmu, the imperial doctor standing at the door, "How is Wan'er?"

Shen Nanmu came to report Shangguan Wan'er's injury to Wu Zetian, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Shangguan Sheren was just scratched by a claw on his left shoulder when he was pounced on by a leopard, and everything else is fine." ”

"How's the spirit?" Wu Zetian asked with concern again.

Shen Nanmu praised: "Shangguan Sheren is really resolute, if it were someone else, she would have been scared out of her body, but she was only slightly frightened, and her consciousness was completely normal, and she also asked Weichen to tell the saint for her, so that the saint should not worry about her." ”

Wu Zetian nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "I'll go see her later." ”

On her imperial case put a scroll, this is the spring of the Dunhuang defense of the detailed battle report, she turned to the second page, on which a line of words is clearly written, the righteous soldier Li Zhen single-handedly killed the Turkic army to encircle the message, for the preservation of Dunhuang made a great contribution.

In this report, the name Li Zhen is mentioned five times, which is Gao Yanfu's notice to her that Li Zhen had made meritorious contributions in the defense of Dunhuang, and she specially ordered someone to find out this battle report.

And Gao Yanfu also told her that when he was ordered to go to Dunhuang, he was attacked by Tubo scouts and almost died, it was this Li Zhen who saved his life, Wu Zetian heard Gao Yanfu report on this matter, but he didn't expect that at today's life and death juncture, this young man saved Shangguan Wan'er's life again.

Wu Zetian put a circle on the name Li Zhen with his pen, and then asked, "Can the guard Li Zhen be announced?"

"He has been waiting outside for a long time. ”

Wu Zetian put down the Zhu pen and ordered: "Announce his audience!"

"Your Majesty has a purpose, Xuan Qianniu guard Li Zhen will meet you!"

With the guards shouting loudly, not long after, Li Zhen walked quickly into the big tent under the leadership of several guards, just now, he had already accepted a eunuch's patient explanation, what are the etiquettes and precautions for the first time to face the saint?

When today's son is a person who pays great attention to etiquette, especially if he is careful, she will see that he has a little disrespect.

Li Zhen lowered his head and walked into the big tent, he found a red line on the carpet, the distance between him and the emperor must not cross this red line, otherwise he would be killed at any time, this is the only thing he remembers.

The other precautions are too complicated, and he summed it up in one sentence, which is, 'Etiquette is not strange!'

Li Zhen stepped forward and knelt down and saluted, "Weichen Li Zhen pays a visit to the emperor, I wish your majesty long live, long live, long live!"

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "Guard Li is exempt from courtesy!"

Li Zhen slowly stood up, retreated to the side, and stood with his hands down, Wu Zetian looked at him carefully, just over half an hour ago, Li Zhen shot a murderous leopard in front of her and saved Shangguan Wan'er.

The matter has passed, but Li Zhen's chic shooting in mid-air, and the calmness of the leopard when he pounced, left an extremely deep impression on her, and it is still deeply imprinted in her mind.

The beauty of that kind of martial arts made her breathtaking, she was a woman, and her touch of this beauty was even more delicate.

The tall young man in front of her looked very respectful, but Wu Zetian's delicate touch enabled her to capture Li Zhen's calm and indifferent heart.

Li Zhen is not handsome, his skin is not fair enough, and he is even a little dark, but his angular face is full of male masculinity, which is different from Xue Huaiyi's wildness.

Perhaps because Wu Zetian has a sense of beauty for Li Zhen, at first glance, she fell in love with this somewhat different young man in front of her.

"Are you from Dunhuang, Shazhou?"

Weichen grew up in Dunhuang. Li Zhen replied calmly.

Wu Zetian has already read his resume, a native of Dunhuang, his grandfather Li Danping is a doctor of Shazhou Prefecture, but the scholarly family has a grandson of a riding and archery group.

However, Wu Zetian is not surprised, Li Zhen was born in the Li family in Longxi, his family has produced many famous generals since ancient times, and Li Guang, who is famous for his riding and archery, is not his ancestor?

Wu Zetian smiled gently, "You made meritorious contributions in the defense of Dunhuang, according to the imperial court system, you should be given a medal, but they couldn't find you, I didn't expect you to be by my side, don't you want me to reward you personally?"

Li Zhen was startled, and hurriedly said, "Weichen doesn't dare!"

"You are my people, and there is nothing wrong with me rewarding you, but now that the lords have been flooded, and the local rich like Wu Shun can also be crowned as a pillar country, I believe you don't want to be in the company of such people. ”

Wu Zetian's words were very slow, but every word hit Li Zhen's heart, and Li Zhen secretly wondered that she also knew that she was involved in the relics case.

But Wu Zetian didn't continue to talk about the relics, she changed the topic, and said slowly: "You saved Wan'er's life, I am grateful to you from the bottom of my heart, how do you want me to reward you?"

Li Zhen shook his head, "Qi Yu Majesty, Wei Chen is a thousand cattle to prepare, rescue the forbidden, this is Wei Chen's business, and there is no need for His Majesty to reward him." ”

Wu Zetian said happily: "Bravely kill the enemy to report the news, this is to serve the country, bravely save the officials and people, this is due diligence, if I don't reward you, this is my dereliction of duty." ”

Wu Zetian took two steps with his hands down, pondered for a moment, and turned back and said, "Li Zhen listens to the seal!"

Li Zhen took a step forward and knelt down on one knee, "Weichen Li Zhen is here!"

Wu Zetian turned to look at him, "Dunhuang Li Zhen has made meritorious contributions to defending the territory, and I have given the baron of the founding county as a reward!"

Li Zhen was slightly shocked in his heart, and even gave himself the title, although the baron of Kaiguo County was only the lowest rank in the ninth class, but it was much more valuable than the honor.

Among the Qianniu Wei, only the general Wu Youxu was named the founding county uncle, and Wu Zetian was also unequivocal and awarded himself the title with military merits.

Li Zhen hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Weichen Xie Xià's seal!"

Wu Zetian sat down and said with a smile: "But you saved Shangguan Wan'er, and you must be rewarded, what do I reward you?"

Her eyes fell on the ruler of the imperial case, this is the white jade ruler she used for paperweight, it is her beloved thing, originally she was going to reward Shangguan Wan'er, since the young man in front of her saved Wan'er's life, then she might as well reward him.

Wu Zetian took the ruler and handed it to him, "This is my beloved thing, and now I will reward you, I hope you will be the same as this ruler, be an upright man, and don't disappoint me." ”

A eunuch stepped forward to take the white jade ruler and handed it to Li Zhen, Li Zhen raised his hands high, took the ruler, and said in a deep voice: "Weichen Xie Xià's reward, I respectfully follow His Majesty's instructions." ”

The seal and reward were all available, and Li Zhen was about to retire, but Wu Zetian's next sentence shocked him and almost hit the ground.

Wu Zetian looked at him with a smile in his eyes, and said softly: "From today on, you will be transferred to my side and serve as my Qianniu preparation." ”
