Chapter 34: Protecting the Queen of Heaven
Seven days have passed since the Hongyue Tower incident, and the heavy snow has also fallen for three days and three nights, which can be called the most in the history, because Luoyang has never had such a heavy snow in previous years, and it is also the coldest season in Luoyang in the past 100 years.
Today, however, the weather is exceptionally good, with the sun shining brightly and the sky cloudless!
The weather is good, the sun is shining, but the thick snow has not completely melted, passing pedestrians walking on the road, stepping on the snow to make a "whoa" sound, a foot on it, the snow will flood the upper of the shoe, to the neck, you can see how deep the snow is.
Thankfully, most of them wore knee-high boots, so the snow wasn't enough to make it difficult for them to walk.
All in all, the weather in Luoyang City today is quite sunny, covered in silver, and it looks very dreamy and beautiful under the sunlight! There are also a lot of pedestrians on the road, and the streets and alleys are particularly annoying. The bustling crowd highlights the prosperity of Luoyang City to the fullest.
In the depths of the palace, the main altar of the plum blossom inner guard, the residence of the phoenix, Dugu Lantai and the phoenix sit opposite each other, and enjoy the snow scene in the garden while drinking tea. Because several plum trees in the garden are blooming at this time, they are extraordinarily enchanting and pretty! The fragrance of flowers is overflowing, and the garden is full of fragrance, which makes people intoxicated.
I don't know how long it has passed, Dugu Lantai said: "Sister came to me today, is there something wrong?"
It stands to reason that Dugu Lantai should call Phoenix the master or the pavilion leader, but Dugu Lantai is more special, Phoenix especially likes and pampers him, and has always treated him like his own brother, so no one said anything, only in front of the queen of heaven, Dugu Lantai changed his mouth to call Phoenix the master.
Phoenix said: "The queen of heaven is about to ascend the throne, and now all the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods in Luoyang City have arrived, and the number of people is still increasing, it can be said that it is overcrowded, and the rooms of some restaurants and inns have been sold out." And there are also some chaos in the city, such as theft, robbery, bullying, etc., troublemakers appear frequently, and the queen of heaven has sent a large number of forbidden troops to maintain order in the city. And what I'm worried about is that with the appearance of people from all walks of life, I am afraid that there will not be peace in this palace, so I called you here to let you protect the queen of heaven until she succeeds in ascending the throne!"
In fact, Wu Zetian had always been closely protected by Yi Hongyue in the early years, and with the completion of the Red Moon Tower, she was assigned.
During the period from Wu Zetian's entry into the palace to the time she has become a diva, there are many people who protect her, but there are only two people who protect her. One is Yi Hongyue, and the other is Xu Shijie, who grew up with her since she was a child and entered Beijing together.
Who is Xu Shijie?
He is Wu Zetian's childhood sweetheart, the person who has played together to adulthood, and Wu Zetian's favorite person, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is her first love.
Wu Zetian was recruited by the harem draft, and he escorted him all the way, which was also requested by Wu Zetian, and the father-in-law who came to pick her up at that time knew that Wu Zetian's appearance and talent would definitely be selected by the emperor. Therefore, this father-in-law deliberately befriended Wu Zetian, and he would meet any request Wu Zetian made, not to mention just bringing one more guard.
said some extracorporeal words, now continue to talk about Xu Shijie, saying that this Xu Shijie is also a talent, and he has learned a good martial arts since he was a child, and his sword skills are superb, quite powerful, and his realm has reached the ranks of super masters, and he can be regarded as the leader of the young generation of martial arts at that time!
At such a young age, he has such skills, and this has an absolute relationship with his father, whose father's name is Xu Youyi, who is strong in martial arts, and has a nickname on the rivers and lakes called "the first knife in Bashu"! A strong man in the realm of the late stage of the grandmaster! He is a hero and hero with great prestige and fame in the rivers and lakes! It can be said that he has a family history.
After the two entered the palace, Wu Zetian gradually gained a foothold in the harem without any doubt, and his power became increasingly powerful, and Xu Shijie also became Wu Zetian's personal guard.
What is a personal guard? That is to say, in addition to eating, sleeping, and going to the toilet every day, it is necessary to have close protection for those who are almost inseparable.
The two of them are lovers, so they are together every day, the relationship is getting closer and closer, sneaky, Qingqing and I have done a lot of things, and then this kind of thing has always been done at night, but suddenly one day, Xu Shijie was going to do that thing in the daytime, Wu Zetian had to rely on him, afterwards, Wu Zetian advised Xu Shijie not to do that thing during the day in the future, in case someone finds out, the two of them will fall into a place of no return.
Although Xu Shijie agreed, he was bold, and he had to be intimate with Wu Zetian every day after that, and he did not listen to many advices, and finally Wu Zetian had tears in his eyes, gritted his teeth, and poisoned the person he loved the most.
For a long time, Wu Zetian has not had a personal guard by his side.
Therefore, in the past few years, the person who has protected Wu Zetian on the bright side is a Da Nei commander named Yu Zhenhai, a super master realm, who used to be a good player in the rivers and lakes, I don't know what means Wu Zetian used to envelop this person. But it is not a personal guard, but this person only protected Wu Zetian for less than a month before he suddenly disappeared, however, many people speculated that Yu Zhenhai was actually dead, as for how he died, no one knows.
In the dark, the phoenix has been silently paying attention to every move in the palace, but it is impossible for her to make a casual move, unless it is really a matter of life and death, otherwise, even if Wu Zetian is seriously injured, missing arms and legs, she will not make a move, this is her principle! The existence of the phoenix is not so much to protect the queen of heaven Wu Zetian, but to protect the country and the society, to deter the world, so as not to let the world be in chaos.
Therefore, to protect the queen of heaven, you have to send people again.
And Dugu Lantai is already a teacher, because he has a phoenix and several great masters as a sparring partner since he was a child, he has a lot of experience in fighting, and what he lacks is continuous experience, which is a very good opportunity to protect the queen Wu Zetian.
Dugu Lantai agreed without hesitation: "Okay, I will first protect the queen of heaven and successfully ascend the throne, and then go to Qin Ba to avenge the murder of my father!"
He has never forgotten that day, watching his father die in front of his eyes and being powerless, he secretly swore that even if he traveled to the ends of the earth, he would find Qin Ba and fight the enemy, this is the biggest motivation for him to practice martial arts diligently, and it is also his first goal in this life!
The next morning, Dugu Lantai went directly to Wucheng Palace, and it can be said that it was unimpeded along the way, because there is a golden waist card in Dugu Lantai's waist, which was specially issued by Wu Zetian, there are eight pieces in the world, one for each of the six plum blossom sisters, one in the phoenix's hand, and one in Dugu Lantai's hand, with this token, you can enter and exit the palace at will, and you can go anywhere in the palace, which can be said to be a special status symbol.
