Chapter 123: Re-entry to Luoyang
"The general does not go out of the customs, but it is a good thing, proving that there must be a major breakthrough in the general's martial arts" Zhang Bairen stood in the courtyard, and there was a servant behind him holding a package: "Don't wait, who knows how long the general will retreat, I am afraid that the court will not be able to delay."

Listening to Zhang Bairen's words, Wei Yunqi showed hesitation, and the Marquis of Zhuojun on the side said: "Originally, it was a great joy for you to win the battle, but if you anger Your Majesty because of the delay in your return date, be careful that good things turn into bad things." ”
Hearing this, Wei Yunqi hesitated, and looked at Zhang Bairen with a pair of eyes: "Okay, then let's go on the road." ”
Zhang Bairen and Wei Yunqi got into the carriage respectively, escorted by a large number of guards, and headed towards the pass.
This time, it was beyond Zhang Bairen's expectations, and the Khitan didn't make any big moves.
It's not that the Khitan doesn't want to move, but the Khitan is entangled by the Turks, and it is difficult to separate their hands to meddle in the affairs of the Guannei.
Along the way, after the two separated, Zhang Bairen went to Luoyang alone, while Wei Yunqi went to Jiangdu.
Luoyang City
This is the first time Zhang Bairen has really walked on the streets of Luoyang, looking at the past business trips, Zhang Bairen bought a handful of fried chestnuts with sugar and ate them unhurriedly.
Although Luoyang has become the cultural and political center of the Great Sui Dynasty because of the relocation of the capital, beggars can be seen everywhere on the road.
Zhang Bairen sighed helplessly, there are beggars in the 21st century, let alone ancient times?
Back at his own mansion, the guards of the military aircraft secret mansion full of courtyards were practicing martial arts, Zhang Bairen returned to the study, and Xiaolong Xiaohu came over: "Have you had a smooth journey?"
Looking at the Snapdragon and the Tiger, Zhang Bairen rolled his eyes: "Go and do your business." ”
"My lord, look at it, how about this long knife?" Xiaohu handed over the long knife at his waist.
Zhang Bairen took out the long knife and unsheathed it instantly, but when he saw the cold light flickering, he blew his hair and broke his hair.
"Created by Lightning Strike Divine Iron?" Zhang Bairen said curiously.
"My lord is really good eyesight," Xiaohu snapped his ass.
Zhang Bairen was noncommittal when he heard this, put the long knife in his hand into the sheath, and handed it to Xiaolong: "The knife is a good knife, but the person who made the knife seems to be a little worse." ”
"Don't worry, my lord, our brothers will work hard," Xiaohu said.
"My lord is back, don't you go to the palace to see Niangniang?" these days, Niangniang is talking about the little gentleman," Snapdragon pinned the long knife to his waist.
Zhang Bairen nodded: "Naturally, I want to see it, but I want to fill my stomach first." ”
"My lord is really stupid, there is no imperial banquet in the palace, the chefs in our house are more than 108,000 miles behind the palace," Xiaohu said.
"As long as you talk a lot, then I'll go to the palace to see Niangniang" Zhang Bairen stepped out of the gate, boarded the carriage and headed towards the palace.
If you want to enter the palace, it is not so simple, you have to go through layers of audits and inspections, and then a series of passes, and there is no time to think.
Fortunately, Zhang Bairen was lucky, and as soon as he came to the gate of the palace, he met the small yellow door next to the queen.
Xiao Huangmen commanded a group of eunuchs to carry the big boxes, looked at the coming carriage, and scolded angrily: "Don't you see that things are being moved here? ”
There are no simple people who can enter the palace, and they don't dare to go too far with Xiaohuangmen.
"Yo, the waiter is very busy" Zhang Bairen lifted the curtain and glanced at the little yellow door.
"Your Excellency, you are here, the queen is talking about you, the villain has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and he collided with the adult, and please atone for his sins" Xiao Huangmen smiled and apologized, full of joy.
"I want to enter the palace to see the queen," Zhang Bairen said.
"Wait, sir, let's go and pass it on to you," Xiao Huangmen said to a group of eunuchs: "You all give me a little sharpness in your hands and feet, if you dare to be lazy again, be careful of our whip." ”
While speaking, Xiao Huangmen hurriedly ran towards the palace.
For almost half an hour, Xiao Huangmen sweated and panted and walked out with the queen's warrant: "My lord, Niangniang, please come in." ”
As he spoke, he didn't pay attention to the eunuch who carried it, but took the reins and led the carriage into the palace.
The carriage was rolling, Zhang Bairen looked at the palace, and the marble paved ground was luxurious and not offensive.
Zhang Bairen got out of the carriage, walked through a few gates with Xiaohuangmen, and came to Yong'an Palace:
"Mother, the little gentleman has arrived. ”
The little yellow door rang out.
"Niangniang said to tell Mr. Xiao to go in" Qiaoyan walked out and smiled sweetly at Zhang Bairen, smiling like a flower.
Zhang Bairen walked into the main hall when he heard this, but saw that Empress Xiao seemed to be copying something.
"I've seen my mother," Zhang Bairen said.
"Yo, Mr. Xiao is back" Empress Xiao raised her head, her face was full of smiles, indescribably solemn, but there was an extremely vague charm in the solemnity.
Zhang Bairen nodded: "Something happened on the way. ”
"I heard that Master Wei was assassinated by the Khitan, or is it thanks to Mr. Xiao's help?" Empress Xiao stopped her pen and looked at Zhang Bairen with a pair of eyes.
"Just passing by, just do it," Zhang Bairen smiled bitterly.
"Wei Yunqi has made a great contribution this time, and you also have a share of this credit" Empress Xiao looked at Zhang Bairen: "Come, take a look at the Tao Te Ching of this palace, can it still enter the eyes of the law?"
Hearing this, Zhang Bairen stepped forward and looked at the Tao Te Ching, which was a real manuscript.
"Niangniang's Tao Te Ching, the lower official seems to have a charming meaning, Niangniang's mind is confused" Zhang Bairen looked at it for a while before saying.
Empress Xiao smiled: "You kid has eyesight, I heard that His Majesty is expanding the harem in Jiangdu, lingering, and seems to have forgotten the palace." ”
Listening to the vague resentment in Empress Xiao's words, Zhang Bairen looked down at the Tao Te Ching and did not dare to answer.
There is no shortage of resentful women in the palace.
Even if a woman is beautiful and charming, if she has been together for more than ten years, it is estimated that she will be bored and the passion in her heart will disappear.
Yang Guanggui is the Son of Heaven, and there are countless beauties in the world, how can he not linger?
Zhang Bairen looked away from Empress Xiao's hand-copied Tao Te Ching, then looked at the book on the side, slowly picked it up and browsed it slowly.
"Mr. Xiao seems to be very interested in the Tao Te Ching," Empress Xiao walked over.
"Kindness is like water" Zhang Bairen's eyes moved away from the Tao Te Ching, and he looked at Queen Xiao with a pair of eyes: "The lower officials are rude, the lower officials of the Tao Te Ching have long heard of its name, but the people who see it are not the original version, and now when I see the real Tao Te Ching here, it is difficult to help myself for a while." ”
"This palace understands" Empress Xiao moved lightly and came to the front of the case.
Su Hand stretched out and picked up the Tao Te Ching and looked at it for a while, before handing it to Zhang Bairen: "The Tao Te Ching in the palace is not the original, the original Tao Te Ching has long been lost, this Tao Te Ching is just a tribute from the Louguan faction, and the little gentleman will give it to you if he likes it." ”
"This ...... Thank you, Niangniang" Zhang Bairen took the Tao Te Ching and looked happy.
Looking at Zhang Bairen, Empress Xiao said: "Mr. Xiao is outside the gate, how is General Yujuluo now?"
"The general has taken an important step and started to transform with one foot in the door," Zhang Bairen tucked the Tao Te Ching into his sleeve.
"Really?" Empress Xiao's face became solemn.
Zhang Bairen nodded: "This matter has something to do with the lower officials, Poor Dao inadvertently got some ancestral dragon bones that day and gave them to the general, this ancestral dragon bone is like brine, and the general is soy milk." ”
Hearing this, Empress Xiao stood there with a gloomy face, and only spoke after a long time: "You are generous, Mr. Xiao knows what the consequences will be if Yujuluo breaks through?"
"The general will not usurp the rivers and mountains of the Great Sui after all," Zhang Bairen looked at Empress Xiao.
"That's not necessarily!" Empress Xiao's face was solemn, and she grabbed Zhang Bairen's ear: "Little ghost, do you still have any ancestral dragon bones there?"
"No! No! Absolutely not!" Zhang Bairen shook his head again and again, and Empress Xiao looked Zhang Bairen up and down: "Is it really gone?"
Zhang Bairen smiled bitterly and shut up.
Empress Xiao let go of Zhang Bairen's ears and sighed softly: "In fact, many people in the Supreme Martial Dao are stuck at the door, and it is difficult to find treasures to transform. ”
"Niangniang, don't worry, Yujuluo will never tamper with the country! If he tampers with the country, the lower officials will not agree" Zhang Bairen looked at Empress Xiao.
"Yo, Yujuluo has broken through the Supreme Martial Dao and is invincible in the world, why don't you agree?" Empress Xiao looked at Zhang Bairen playfully.
Zhang Bairen gritted his teeth and smiled: "I naturally have a way to deal with it, it's a big deal to ask a few more martial arts supreme powerhouses in the world." ”
