The night is vast, and the clouds are dotted.

In a manor garden on the outskirts of Luoyang, under the moonlight, the shadows of the trees are swaying, and the sable cicada is wearing only a single coat, and is condensing to the moonlight.

She is in the lower earth body, and she has practiced qi at four levels.

The moonlight is spread in the garden, the ground is full of silver frost, the night breeze is cool, gently brushing the silk and every inch of skin, and the aura rushes into the body, refreshing but not cold, making her happy with a kind of intoxication, intoxicated with a trace of sobriety, strictly according to the Xiaowu Sutra.

The atmosphere was peaceful.

Then, I heard footsteps, Diao Chan didn't open his eyes, here is the outer house of a certain gatekeeper, and men are forbidden in the inner house, only the female soldiers and maids trained by her can enter.

Ying'er, who has been with her for many years, came over and complained in a low voice: "The night is very cold, Miss is so casual." ”

As he spoke, he put a robe on her to protect her from the wind.

Diao Chan only smiled slightly: "There is no one else." ”

"It's not that there is no one, the young lady is still a lady, you have to pay attention to your demeanor, it's really... Two years ago, it was clearly not like that. The maid complained, but her eyes looked at it with admiration.

The young lady is eighteen years old, and it is the most beautiful time, and her appearance is more attractive than the moonlight, and even the maids who serve them are often photographed by beautiful colors.

This kind of alluring city and country is the dream of many women, how can they not cherish it?

"And the lord that Miss recognizes, put a peerless beauty like Miss outside, and you can't just look at it, it's really"

Diao Chan listened but didn't listen, and cultivated with his eyes closed.

has been to the ground, she has seen a lot, Qianqian Lise is different from herself, Cao Baijing is a real jade beauty at night, Diao Chan knows that she is not because she is beautiful and is looked at differently by the lord.

"Do you say so, Zinan?" she asked jokingly in her heart, the phoenix winged snake pattern on her forehead flashing slightly.

Diao Chan listened to the answer, she gradually liked such a private conversation, which was gradually silent on the outside, in fact, she had seen the magic of the earth and understood the truth of the earth, so she didn't think about this little bit of male and female affairs.

The burden of the clan movement, Nuwa's task, the catastrophe on the ground...... All kinds of pressures, under the subtle influence of the lord, Diao Chan is more and more eager to gain strength.

Returning to the lower earth body, Diao Chan found that her cultivation speed under the moon was several times faster than usual, and the body had reached the fourth level of Qi cultivation in the past two years, far exceeding the third layer on the ground, which made her secretly strange in her heart.

"Is it because of my own body? Yuehua entered his body, and he really didn't feel cold, which may have an inside story

Diao Chan had heard of the lord's admiration for her body, calling it the Heaven and Earth Zhong Lingyue Hua Yuxiu, seeing her blushing, she also jokingly asked: "Does the cicada like to worship the moon very much?"

"Bye...... No, I just like to walk under the moon at night, what's wrong?"

At that time two years ago, she didn't know much about cultivation and couldn't respond, but now she felt a little taste: "When Lingyun was at its lowest, it was just a weed, and the innate Lingzhi Jiahe, is it just for people to see?"

"What the lord praised at that time was not beauty, but my own qualifications."

"Or you can seek a breakthrough in the ontology here, turn out of the spirit pool and return to the ground" Diao Chan's mind has always been very clear, and then the city and the country will be overwhelmed, how can you grasp your fate without strength?

In the past, there was no way to be like duckweed, phoenix lock, golden cage.

The earthly experience is almost like "straying into the fairy world" for this girl.

For many days and nights, she silently read the books on the ground, reciting all kinds of martial arts and Taoism, especially the Xiaoyi Martial Arts, these methods of tempering and tempering, people on the earth may not feel precious, but she knows that this is a true chapter that is not easy to do, and each can change her fate.

As long as she has time, she thinks silently and spits out and cultivates.

"Miss, look, what is this red light?" thought to herself, and the maid cried out.

Diao Chan woke up, and at a glance, he saw a red light crossing, its color was as red as blood, and the sky was dyed red.

When Diao Chan saw it, his expression couldn't help but change, he was silent, and thought silently: "Red light has multiple meanings, one of which is the main kill...... The red light rises at this time, and I don't know what the omen of the Lord is?"

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but turn my head to stare at Luoyang...... What's going on over there?

"Ying'er, you ask someone from the outer mansion to contact the palace and inquire. ”

"Yes, miss. ”

Soon, the secret message was connected in several places in Luoyang - in the past two years, Mrs. Xiao Mi and Mrs. Gan have researched, and the earth has made a message disk, and Luoyang is the first batch of applications, which is the trust of the lord.

"But the southwest...... Could it have something to do with the lord?" Diao Chan thought and shook his head again: "It's really a lot of things and people, where is there such a coincidence." ”

She was a little looking forward to completing the Luoyang mission, and it was time to return to the side of the lord.

Luoyang

Li Ru rushed straight to the garden, and when he arrived at the residence, he said, "I want to see the lord."

"My lord, my lord has fallen asleep," an official saluted, a familiar person, and said in surprise: "If there is no major event, you may be able to wait until tomorrow." ”

Li Ru said coldly: "This is a big deal, just now the palace arsenal caught fire, and the red light rose to the sky and disappeared in the southwest direction, so that many people saw it." ”

"That's not all, the arsenal order hurriedly led people to extinguish the fire and count the imperial treasure, but nothing was burned, but he found that the sword in the center of the altar was missing. ”

When the official heard this, a fine sweat suddenly broke out on his head, and he was drenched in cold sweat: "That's the Chixiao Sword...... Sword of Fortune ......"

"So I want to see the lord, this matter is related to our blessings and blessings," Li Ru said, paused, and looked at the lonely night sky in a daze.

After a moment, he sighed and stepped in.

road

The army returned, there were not many wounded in the team, the soldiers were in a brisk mood, and the scenery along the way gradually changed from Sili Henan Yin to Yingchuan County, Yuzhou.

Mountains, primeval forests, rivers...... Gradually there were roads, villages, canals, and fields, and in the morning the smoke rose from the cooking, the peasants went down to the fields to sort the crops, and the peasant women brought them to the morning meal—in this case, it was a two-meal system, because breakfast would be a little later

The Queen Mother took the morning food in the car, and she felt unexpectedly good.

Then in this bumpy carriage, she stared at the window, her eyes were confused: "Too many things have happened in the past two years, and the mourning family has not dared to leave the palace for a long time, and I don't want this to be the case when I leave the palace......

At this time, only Qianqian was accompanied by her in the carriage, and she knew that she was an anti-assassin if she didn't leave the palace, and there were too many things...... Qianqian thought for a while and said softly, "The Queen Mother can go back." ”

"Are you going back?" the Queen Mother muttered, leaving Luoyang for only a month, it seemed like a long time, and she didn't dare to think that she could go back for a day...... She shook her head and said no more.

"Actually, I have lived in Nanyang County since I was a child, and Yingchuan County is a strip of water. The Queen Mother said this, she is a realistic woman, and she pays more attention to the present: "When did Mrs. Xiao Mi get married?"

Her tone of inquiry was very gentle, with the concern of the elderly, and it was very easy to win the favor of this young girl

"It was two years ago. Qianqian smiled, knowing the reason behind this gentleness, she was introduced by Ye Qing to the identity of the main room, although the queen mother was surprised, but obviously heard of her.

In fact, many people in the Manchu Dynasty had heard of the little Mi lady Liu Bei married...... The Mi family has deep roots in Xuzhou and has a great influence on the state Mu Tao Qian, and a cross-state marriage two years ago makes people not pay attention

Han customs do not prohibit women from showing their heads, the queen mother was just surprised that women participated in the military, guessing that this girl was successful in Taoism, so her attitude became more and more gentle.

"It's been two years......" The Queen Mother recalled, a little melancholy: "I remember that the current county seat of Yingchuan County is Xuchang?"

"The Queen Mother remembers it correctly. Qianqian responded: "My real name is Xu County, and my husband suggested changing my name to Xuchang, which is still your own permission." ”

A pun intended.

"Xuchang, Xuchang, Xu Zhichang......" The Queen Mother chuckled, and suddenly the horse was sluggish for a while, and she heard a commotion outside.

Just as Ye Qing was holding the little princess Ning Ji, she lifted the curtain and got into the car: "The minister visits the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at him: "Get up...... Your lady is very good at talking—what's going on out there?"

Ye Qing thought about it, and still lifted the curtain and pointed it to her: "It was some homeless people from Chen Liuguo who stopped and asked for help, and they were ordered by the minister to lead them to Xuchang." ”

Some ragged homeless people brought their families and children to kowtow beside the road, thanking them for their kindness, but they could not hide their bitterness.

The Queen Mother's face remained unchanged, but her breathing was slightly short, and after a long time, she said: "The mourning family is not out of the palace, I really don't think about this scene." ”

In a trance, I recalled the folk years when I was a child, Jingzhou was rich, Nanyang County was beautified again and again in my memory, or there were displaced people, and the butcher family was relatively wealthy in the agricultural society, and the little girl may not pay attention to it, but at this time she was a little emotional, but more recalled.

"If there were no army of displaced people in the world, there would be no two emperors. ”

The little princess Ning Ji couldn't understand these yet, she looked up innocently, and Ye Qing said softly: "Queen Mother, the journey is difficult, don't worry about it, when you arrive in Xuchang, you can rest." ”

At this moment, he could tell that her sorrow was sincere, at least at this moment...... For those in the upper echelons, nothing more can be expected.

"The basic quality is much better than that of the emperor, which may have grown up in the people and has been influenced by the pure and honest folk customs. ”

Ye Qing pondered, closed his gaze, and said calmly: "Huan and Emperor Ling were like this when they were the second emperor, and it is difficult to return, and it is not the responsibility of the Queen Mother. ”

"Although that's the case...... the Queen Mother smiled bitterly, hugged Ning Ji, and remembered something: "What Xuande just said about Chen Liuguo?

As the queen mother, she wrote down the geography, especially Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Yongzhou, Liangzhou, and Bingzhou around Sili, which were arranged in the order of southeast and northwest, and she remembered the local situation firmly and gave a lot of favors.

In the end, when Dong Zhuo showed the butcher knife, only Yuzhou Liu Bei came to save her.

Yanzhou Cao Cao, who had pinned his hopes, did not, Sun Jian, who claimed to be loyal, and even farther Liu clans did not, let alone Yuan Shao's ungrateful Han thief......

Ye Qing glanced at her expression and knew what she was thinking: "The Queen Mother remembers correctly, in the past two years, Duke Cao has unified the local wealthy families in Yanzhou, and many old clans have been raided, giving birth to many homeless. ”
