In the second year of the Wuzhou holy calendar, the world was smooth and rainy, the grains were abundant, the food and clothing were abundant, the border was no war, the world was peaceful, and the people in the market lived and worked in peace and contentment, and they could really be called peaceful and prosperous.

However, under the calm, the dark waves were turbulent, and the female emperor Wu Zetian went to the country to change his name to Tang for nearly ten years. However, the loyal and upright people in the DPRK and China still tried their best to restore Li Tangzhen. There were also many courtiers who fought-for-tat in order to defend the military and Zhou, and for this reason, the bureaucrats and friends of various factions in the DPRK and China vied for power and profit, and used all kinds of means to do so, and the struggle intensified. For a time, the ancient capital of Chang'an was treacherous.

In the middle of the night, in the majestic and tall palace - Daming Palace, except for the guards patrolling in line, most of the people have rested, only a row of exhaust dead wind lamps hanging on the cloister emits a dim yellow light, the evening breeze blows, and the light and shadow are swaying.

Hanyuan Hall is still brightly lit, a graceful and luxurious woman is sitting on the dragon couch to review the chapter, this person is Wu Zetian, the emperor of Wu Zhou, and the beautiful female official standing next to her is Shangguan Wan'er, who has the name of "women's prime minister".

On the roof of the main hall, two men in black lurked quietly. The night breeze blew, the candles in the hall flickered, and when the lights were dim and dim, the man in black rolled silently across the eaves and curled up on the beams of the hall. Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er were unaware. There was a sound of beating outside, Wu Zetian stretched his waist and said, "Wan'er, it's already midnight, you go down and rest." Shangguan Wan'er bowed and said: "Your Majesty, you have every opportunity, all living beings in Zepi, Wan'er should be with you, but Your Majesty should take care of the dragon's body." Wu Zetian sighed and said: "How can I rest? Alas, three years ago, Wang Xiaojie served as the head of the Qingbian Road march, led the army to crusade against the Khitan Khan Sun Wanrong, and went deep alone in the East Kip Stone Valley, and the whole army was annihilated, poor Wang Xiaojie did not want to be captured and fell off the cliff to die. Let that Sun Wanrong think that Tianwei can be offended, and he has a heart of disobedience. Now that the troops and horses are being assembled again, the border gate Tang newspaper has been in an emergency many times."

Just as they were talking, on the beam of the temple, the man in black in front slowly stretched out his hand to the long sword behind his back, and the man in black in the back gently pulled the corner of his clothes, and the person in front immediately understood, nodded immediately, and then let go of his hand, reached into his arms, and took out five steel darts from his arms. Taking advantage of the wind blowing the candle flame and the light was dark, he shook his hand, and the five cold stars shot away, three steel darts shot at Wu Zetian, and the other two shot at Shangguan Wan'er beside her. Lightning and flint burst in. Shangguan Wan'er's eyes flashed. At this moment, with a pull of Luo's skirt, the right foot popped out to provoke the huge Nanmu case in front of Wu Zetian, which could be erected in front of Wu Zetian. "Dodo" sounded continuously, three steel darts were nailed to several cases, the right foot kept swinging upward, kicking the steel dart that shot at his chest and abdomen onto the roof, with a wave of his arm, the slender hand turned his palm into a knife and slashed at the steel dart that shot at the front door, and the steel dart immediately shook out and shot at the man in black. Several movements are done in one go, without delay. Just shot down the steel dart, Shangguan Wan'er immediately turned around and pounced on the dragon couch to press the mechanism, and after the sound of the prick, the huge golden wire mesh cover fell from above, covering Wu Zetian and himself tightly. When the guards on patrol heard the commotion, they immediately shouted "Assassin!" and swarmed around. The black-clothed man in front caught the steel dart that was shooting, and he was shocked, he never expected that the gentle and delicate Shangguan Wan'er's martial arts would be so exquisite. The black-clothed man in the back said in a low voice: "There is no chance, hurry up!" After that, the two of them performed light skills, broke through the roof tiles of the palace, and flew away on the palace of Daming Palace.

Ma Youjin, the chief dart head of the Shunfeng Dart Bureau in Chang'an City, greeted: "Get up!" The executioners and dart masters around him shouted in unison: "Shunfeng is safe!" Everyone rode out around the two carriages. When the merchants in the market saw it, they all respectfully shouted: "Ma Daxia." Ma Youjin didn't speak, just a slight chin head, this is the rule of the dart game, the dart is extremely dangerous, so the rules are also great, within 100 miles of the dart, the total dart head can not be easily spoken, otherwise the prestige is easy to cause trouble. Of course, it is also to prevent casual talking, inadvertently revealing his whereabouts and being listened to by someone with a heart and being calculated. Ma Youjin has been darts in Hexi Road for 30 years, and has never missed a hand, so he has a great reputation in Chang'an, in fact, Ma Youjin himself knows that his kung fu is not bad, but the dart that travels thousands of miles depends not on kung fu, but on familiarity. Therefore, every year at the end of the year, Ma Youjin has to give a heavy gift to the black and white heroes on Hexi Road, and the people of the rivers and lakes are righteous, and seeing that Ma Youjin knows how to do it, he will naturally not look for trouble again, even if there are a few small thieves who do not enter the stream, and they will crash into the door, and there are many good players in the Ma Youjin Dart Bureau, so it is naturally easy to send away. Where do the people in the market know these doorways? Returning the Tao is Ma Youjin's miraculous skills, and he is invincible all over Hexi, and Ma Youjin can only smile bitterly at such praise.

The place he was going to this time was Anxi, the far west border of the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't need to go in person because of his identity and the familiarity of the people along the way. But the customer clearly asked him to escort him personally, and then thought about it, it was okay, his only son Ma Beifang was also thirteen or fourteen years old, and he had never been out of Chang'an City.

In Chang'an City, the Prime Minister's Mansion. Chang'an has every inch of land, but the prime minister's mansion spans six streets in the north and south, which shows its power. When the prime minister of the dynasty, Wu Sansi, sat on the chair of the prince, at the beginning of the year, his aunt Wu Zetian promoted him to prime minister despite the opposition of Di Renjie, Ji Xiang and other important ministers. However, Li Shan, the imperial historian, actually relied on himself to be a relative of the Li Tang royal family, risking his life to admonish, claiming that Wu Sansi would enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and the world would be chaotic. provoked the emperor to be furious, and the magistrate came to Junchen to arrest and inquire, Li Shan could not survive the punishment, died in the torture room, Wu Sansi sent people to the Li family to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, the Li family learned the information, Mrs. Li committed suicide, and the thirteen-year-old only son Li Chongyuan did not know where to go. The person standing in front of Wu Sansi was Zheng Yi, the servant of the imperial history, who was ruthless and Wu Sansi's right-hand man. Zheng Yi said: "My lord, the student has found out the news, so Li Chongyuan was escorted out of Chang'an by two family members on the same day, and it should be in the direction of the northwest rest capital protectorate." "Well, most of Anxi guards Tian Yangming, but he has eight friendships with Li Shan, since he goes to the northwest, he can only go to him, Tian Yangming is far away in Anxi Town to guard the border pass, and there is a group of thugs under him, once he arrives there, this kid surnamed Li will fish into the rivers and lakes, and it will be difficult to arrest him anymore. Zheng Yi smiled slightly: "Adults don't worry, the student has arranged for someone to ...... halfway", and then slashed down with his hand. Wu Sansi said "uh", and muttered: "Can these people have a clean foundation?" "These people are all that person's subordinates, since that person died, they have fallen into the rivers and lakes, and the students are still old with them, so they ......." Wu Sansi snorted coldly: "Xue Huaiyi, he and that person from the Vientiane Divine Palace, he is disgusted when he mentions it, and you will have less contact with them in the future, and you will not be humiliated by your identity." "Yes, students remember. Zheng Yi bowed and replied.

A few days, Ma Youjin and a group of people came to the territory of Suzhou, in peacetime, bandits are scarce, all the way without danger, Ma Beibei has lived in the city for a long time, seeing this great mountain scenery in the wilderness is overjoyed, the dart masters are bent on pleasing the young owner, from time to time the horse shoots a few hares and pheasants, and throws them on the car. Ma Beibei was greedy, and wanted to shoot the hare himself with a crossbow, but his strength was weak, and he couldn't pull the bow with sweat. Ma Youjin watched from a distance, shook his head with a smile, and his eyes were full of love. Although he taught him some kung fu skills, the child was naughty and impetuous, and naturally he couldn't do hard work, but he just learned to be a showman, and he couldn't bear to supervise, and he was idle every day.

After a few days of hard trekking, we arrived at Castle Breeze, a very small village. It was originally a garrison fort, but after the garrison was withdrawn, it became a small village, but the name remained the same, and it was still called Qingfeng Fort. There is a small inn on the south side of the village, and the flag at the door reads "Shunfeng". It's been so old that the dusty even words on the flag are almost indecipherable.

This inn is run by a husband and wife, the owner is surnamed Huang, and there is a little daughter about ten years old. Because this is not Guanyi Avenue, there are few customers, and business is just barely making ends meet. Ma Youjin is accustomed to walking on Hexi Road, and knows that taking the Qingfeng Fort Road is not only nearly 100 miles away, but also cheap to live in a hotel, eat and stay here. And he and Boss Huang are also very familiar with each other. Know that this place is remote, but safe. What's more, the name of this inn is also called Shunfeng, Shunfeng and Shunfeng, which is really a good mouthpiece.

From afar, I saw Boss Huang feeding the chickens with a dustpan at the door, and more than a dozen big hens pecked at Zhenghuan. Seeing the carriage and horses of the dart bureau coming, Lao Huang hurriedly caught up: "Thank you Ma Daxia, I heard the magpie barking on the branches this morning, and I was thinking about what distinguished guests were coming, but it happened that your old man came in the afternoon." Ma Youjin laughed: "You old fellow, the older you get, the sweeter your mouth becomes, you will kill these chickens later, stew them in a big pot, and treat the brothers at night." "Delre. Lao Huang couldn't close his mouth with a smile, this Ma Youjin made a bold move, and every time he came, he could bring him a lot of benefits. This small inn, in addition to receiving the Shunfeng Dart Bureau, really has few other guests in a year. "The old rule, as soon as you slip into the house, the horses are all concentrated, you fry the beans, and my people feed them personally. ”
