retaliate

Come back home!

Nian Ziyue was at a loss.

What is home?
is the journey.

It is a post house.

But it is not Bianjing.

Then the messenger entered the palace.

"New proton?"

The emperor said noncommittally: "Alright."

Beiliao has lost its threat, and it doesn't matter whether the Southern Zhou proton is there or not.

"Go back and tell Nian Xu that if you are disrespectful, the southern Xinjiang army will stand by and wait for my order to destroy Southern Zhou!"

"Yes!"

The messenger bowed his head.

There is anger in the eyes.

The envoy resigned, and the emperor said, "I don't believe that Nanjiang reported that the Southern Zhou army had bloodbathed the villages in Nanjiang. I know that this is a trick created by Shi Zhongtang. Some money and food. Crying children have food to eat, this Yunshan slave knows this very well."

Han Shitou smiled and said: "Your Majesty's eyes are like lightning, and Shi Zhongtang still thinks he has a plan. The next time he comes to Chang'an, the servants will scare him."

"You, you!" The emperor pointed at Han Shitou, and said with a smile, "If you start to scare him, he will be out of his wits. By the way, does that treasure of the Southern Zhou Dynasty have any contacts in Chang'an?"

Han Shitou shook his head, "I seldom go out. Even if I go out, I only go to places with few people."

"Still a cute one?"

……

Nian Ziyue didn't want to stay in Chang'an any longer.

After getting permission, she asked people to prepare their luggage and set off immediately.

"Princess, the Ministry of Rites sent someone to see you off."

Officials from the Ministry of Rites came and said that they had prepared a ceremony outside the city to see the princess off.

"No need."

Nian Ziyue refused with a cold face.

The official left resentfully, thinking that if you don't want to, the Ministry of Rites will save trouble.

After the officials left, Nian Ziyue made a grimace, "I've been aggrieved in Chang'an for a long time, so I'm going to vent my anger today."

Zhang Jing smiled, "Just vent your anger! Now Chang'an's people are impetuous, and no one cares about Nan Zhou's proton."

"I don't care if I don't care." Nian Ziyue said: "I often go out in plain clothes, and I find that there are more and more refugees in Chang'an, and the officials are getting more and more ruthless. I read a lot of Chang'an novels, and they are all routines, boring. I read history books .Looking around, I found that the various scenes of the Tang Dynasty were similar to the scenes before the fall of those dynasties."

"No way!" Zhang Jing was surprised.

In Zhang Jing's view, Datang is still the powerful Datang that Nan Zhou can only look up to.

"The Tang Dynasty is strong in the northern border, but in the southern border." Nian Ziyue said, "This is a situation where the branches are strong and the stems are weak! Moreover, Li Yuan and Li Mi's father and son made the situation."

"But in the northern border, Qin Guogong said that he will live up to the Tang Dynasty in this life." Zhang Jing said: "Once he breaks his oath, everyone in the world will spurn him and plot rebellion."

"It's simple!" Nian Ziyue said: "For example, let someone pretend to be an assassin to assassinate him, capture the assassin, and say that he was sent by Chang'an. Then let someone pretend to be an assassin to poison his wife and children... This is tolerable." What can't be tolerated, he came to the side of the Qing emperor, who can question it?"

"I will question it!" Zhang Jing felt that the princess was thinking too much, "After all, she is a criminal."

The concept of the inviolability of the emperor's dignity is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Would the emperor assassinate you?
hold on!

The emperor poisoned...Hold on!

Although it has not yet reached the realm where the ruler of another world ordered his subjects to die, and the subjects had no choice but to die, the following offenders are still street rats, and everyone shouts and beats them.

"Anyway, I don't think he has the temperament to be patient!" Nian Ziyue nodded vigorously, "His temperament is that whoever punches me, I will beat him to death. Whoever dares to kick me, I will kick him." Break his legs."

After leaving the city, Nian Ziyue felt his whole body relax, and said with a smile, "Why do I feel so much lighter?"

Everyone looked at the princess who was far away from home for Da Zhou, and saluted one after another.

"Congratulations princess!"

"You guys should be happy too!" Nian Ziyue said with a smile.

Yes!

Everyone is happy to be able to go back.

Two people came in front, and after saluting, the leader said: "Old man Jiang Xing, I was ordered to send the princess off."

Zhang Jing stepped forward, Jiang Xing originally came to the Nianziyue residence first, and the two met once.

"Thank you, Duke." Zhang Jing saluted on behalf of Nian Ziyue.

"The Duke's envoy is ahead, please meet the princess." Jiang Xing turned sideways.

Zhang Jing went back, "Princess, the Duke of Qin from Northern Xinjiang is here and wants to see the princess."

The envoy who came to pick up Nian Ziyue said: "The Duke of Qin is called Yang Ni by the government and the public. I think it is better not to see him."

You have to go, there is no need for extra problems.

But Nian Ziyue raised his eyebrows, "Go and see."

messenger:"……"

There are sheds ahead, and there are quite a few of them.

Jiang Xing lowered his eyes slightly, but he didn't even look at Nian Ziyue who was coming. The messenger praised him when he saw it, "It's polite."

"Princess, please!"

Jiang Xing stretched out his hand and said in a low voice: "There is no one following the princess!"

Nian Ziyue felt relieved. "I'm just a blind person, why follow me?"

No punches?If you have the ability, take off the mask that covers your face, and see if you can see through it.

In the shed, Cao Ying cupped her hands from a distance, and said with a smile, "The old man's identity is a little sensitive, but it's not easy to show his face."

At this moment, Cao Ying's appearance has changed so much that Zhang Jing can't recognize her anymore, "Who are you?"

"Old man Cao Ying." Cao Ying said, "I met Commander Zhang before."

"You are too tall..." Zhang Jing suddenly thought of the situation in Beijiang and Chang'an.

Nian Ziyue entered the shed, but there was no wine, but a wooden box.

"Before the old man came to Chang'an, the national bus said that the princess's time in Chang'an should not be long. If she wants to leave, I will ask the old man to see her off."

……

Before Cao Ying was about to leave for Chang'an, someone suddenly came from the backyard, saying that Madam wanted to see him.

Cao Ying was stunned, wondering why the Duke should be avoided?

After meeting, Zhou Ning said: "If you go to Chang'an now, the treasure of the Southern Zhou Dynasty should still be there, right?"

"Yes." Cao Ying said.

"However, he is not young anymore. Now that the threat from Beiliao is no longer there, and the proton of Southern Zhou is useless, if Nian Xu loves his daughter, he should take her back."

"Yes!" Cao Ying felt that Madam had sharp eyesight and clear thinking, and she deserved to be the Duke's virtuous helper.

It's just that why did Madam mention this matter?
"I'm going to Chang'an now. If Nian Ziyue wants to leave, you can go see her off. Remember, tell her, Duke, you've always thought of her!"

When he said these words, Zhou Ning looked calm, which made Cao Ying think of someone.

Queen!

……

"The Duke's status is sensitive, so he can't come and see him off. However, before leaving, the Duke said..."

Cao Ying took a peek at Nian Ziyue, and there was a look of bewilderment on that somewhat blurred pretty face.

Obviously, it brought back memories!

There is a play!

Cao Ying said: "The Duke has always thought of the princess!"

羃 trembled a bit.

"I see."

Nian Ziyue turned around, Cao Ying picked up the wooden box and said, "This is a gift from the Duke to the Princess."

Zhang Jing came over to take the wooden box, and then the group mounted their horses and left.

Zhang Jing opened the wooden box on horseback, and then froze.

"What is it?" Nian Ziyue asked.

Zhang Jing handed over the wooden box.

"what!"

Nian Ziyue was surprised.

In the wooden box, a warm jade hairpin lies quietly in the satin, with a beautiful shape, which makes people want to reach out and hold it.

Nian Ziyue held Yuchai, and the alley appeared in her mind.

and that boy.

In the shed behind him, Jiang Xing asked, "Duke is interested in this woman?"

"No!" Cao Ying said, "Madam is interested in her!"

……

"Ma'am?" Jiang Xing was taken aback, "Could it be..."

"Could it be that the madam is the only one in the harem? Even if the duke and his wife are deeply affectionate, they can't stand the rumor that the madam is fierce. And if this is the case, the Zhou family will be in big trouble."

"The queen is tough, and the outside world will suspect what Mrs. Zhou wants to do."

"So, madam is thinking about the Duke, what do you think of this woman?"

"Beautiful!"

"The old man asked you how it is to be a concubine?"

"Nature is pleasing to the eye!"

"That's good!"

"Hey! Lao Cao, can't you see it yourself?"

"I don't know beauty or ugliness."

……

"Let let! Let let!"

There was someone yelling in front of him, and pedestrians avoided, and saw a few Taoist priests coming on horseback, followed by a middle-aged Taoist priest with an extraordinary bearing.

"It's Chang Sheng!" Jiang Xing whispered: "This is the emperor's right-hand man, and the credit of Jianyun Temple was indispensable for that night!"

When talking about credit, Jiang Xing gritted his teeth.

That night, many masters besieged Emperor Xiaojing's confinement place, among them was Fangwairen.

Cao Ying said indifferently: "Don't worry, the Duke has a broad mind, and he will definitely forget those enmities."

To hell with forgetting... Jiang Xing saw Huahua.

Huahua is ordinary, and now she is carrying a bamboo basket, she looks like a peasant woman, she is nearby, following Chang Sheng.

After entering the city, Chang Sheng went to the imperial city, where Hua Hua sold pancakes outside.

"Two!"

Cao Ying went over and squatted down flipping the pancakes.

"What are you doing here?" Huahua asked.

"The old man asked you why you followed Chang Sheng." Cao Ying took two pancakes.

"This person is mysterious, and many things that happened in the past are faintly visible, all of which have the shadow of Jianyun Temple."

"Be careful!"

"I don't need you to remind me of this." Hua Hua said coldly, "You should worry about yourself!"

"What do you mean?" Cao Ying asked.

Huahua took the copper coins from him, "There are people following you!"

Hey!
Cao Ying couldn't help touching her face, wondering if there was a flaw?
But even so, Chang'an is so big, it doesn't make sense to just meet an acquaintance who knows me!
Cao Ying stood up, took a bite of the pancake.

He turned around slowly, but he couldn't see who was suspicious.

"That stupid-looking man!" Huahua picked up the bamboo basket and left.

Damn!

This woman didn't want to solve the trouble for the old man either.

Cao Ying turned around a few times and caught the man in the alley.

"Why follow the old man?"

The man was frightened by his cultivation. "That wooden box contains jade hairpins, villain... villain wants to rob a fortune!"

Cao Ying slapped it away, the man rolled his eyes, he was really stupid.

……

"I've seen a real person!"

Han Shitou came to meet Chang Sheng in person, giving the real Miao Sheng a lot of face.

Chang Sheng nodded slightly, "Is Your Majesty here?"

"Your Majesty is here, Daoist, please follow us."

Han Shitou took Chang Sheng into the pear garden.

As soon as you enter, there is constant music.

There are also bursts of fragrant wind.

A group of singers were resting on the side. It was so cold, but they were only wearing tulle, and their bodies were faintly visible.

Chang Sheng turned a blind eye and followed Han Shitou in.

The emperor was watching a song and dance, and when he saw Chang Sheng coming in, the emperor smiled and said, "Recently, Daoist has been practicing a lot, but he refuses to come to the palace to talk with me."

"The old man has gained something recently, so he retreated." Chang Sheng said.

"sit!"

The emperor and Chang Sheng have known each other for decades, but they have lost a lot of politeness.

Chang Sheng sat down, and the emperor said: "Recently, I always find it difficult to fall asleep. When I lie down and put on the quilt, I feel my chest is heavy and restless."

"This is restlessness." Chang Sheng said: "Your Majesty should rest more. In addition, when the weather is cold, you can eat more warming and tonic things to reconcile yin and yang."

The two then talked about Taoism, and the emperor was very interested.

After a while, the emperor became thirsty, and a servant brought tea.

Chang Sheng stood up, "I change clothes."

The emperor nodded, and naturally a servant took him there.

When passing by the waiter delivering tea, a gust of wind blew away, the waiter couldn't help squinting his eyes, Chang Sheng's hand shook slightly, and the medicine powder fell into the dark tea soup.

There was a touch of clarity in the depths of Chang Sheng's eyes, and he went out immediately.

The tea was brought, but put aside.

Han Shitou went out in person, and brought a cup of tea over after a while.

The emperor took a sip.

"His Majesty."

The imperial concubine is here, and the cup of tea next to her is hers.

The two drank tea together, when a servant came to report, "Your Majesty, the father-in-law has something to see."

The emperor stood up, "I will come as soon as I go."

Chang Sheng came out and heard that the emperor had something to do, so he also left.

After leaving the palace, the confidant disciple who accompanied him said, "Did the Daoist succeed?"

Chang Sheng nodded, "The emperor is greedy for pleasure and consumes energy and energy. The medicine given by the old man is not poisonous, but it can speed it up. When he becomes thin and skinny, he will definitely be flustered. The courtiers will speak up , between Yang Songcheng and King Wei, and between the emperor and the resurgence of disputes, coupled with the fact that Yang Xuan in the northern border is staring at each other, the world will be in chaos. Chaos, okay!"

……

The imperial concubine drank a cup of tea, and within a few days, she suddenly felt lighter.

"Look at me, but I'm thinner?"

The imperial concubine undressed and asked.

Jiao Li looked at the body herself, "Yes! I lost weight!"

The imperial concubine put on her clothes, "Send a message, just say that I am hungry and I want more meat."

"Yes!"

When Jiao Li went out, the imperial concubine said quietly: "He just likes my body fat, if I lose weight..."

From then on, the imperial concubine fell in love with fat meat.

……

"Your Majesty, drink tea!"

In the pear garden, Han Shitou presented a cup of herbal tea.

The emperor took a sip comfortably, "I have been drinking this herbal tea for more than ten years, and I am in good health."

"My servant is looking forward to your majesty's long life." Han Shitou said sincerely.

"You, you!" The emperor pointed at him and smiled slightly.

Han Shitou was in charge of all the emperor's meals, every tea and meal must be carefully arranged to prevent any accidents from happening.
