After being dressed as Wu Zetian's daughter, she was favored by the group

When she learned that the damned person was coming to find her, Empress Wu was shocked at first, but quickly regained her composure.

Based on her understanding of Li Zhi, her husband would never restart the Heavenly Killing Organization to deal with her!

Not to mention whether Li Zhi dared to take action against her, but simply because she was Li Zhi, she would not be stupid enough to block the road and carry out an assassination with great fanfare. If she really wanted to take action, she would just cause an accident after she returned to the palace, wouldn't it? More hassle-free.

Since it was not an assassination, the other party must have wanted something from him when he saw his purpose.

After thinking about this section, Empress Wu felt a little excited. She opened the curtains and ordered the Peony Guards outside: "All of you, get back!"

"Yes! Empress!"

Peony Guard put the sword into his sleeve, and then disappeared in unison.

Empress Wu threw the Heavenly Killing Order to Yang Yi, and then ordered: "Let Commander Zhang lift the defense, and the team rests where they are. You personally bring the Heavenly Killing leader to see me!"

"Empress! What if they..." Yang Yi wanted to remind her again.

Before he could finish speaking, Empress Wu interrupted: "Just do as you are told, how can there be so many precautions!"

"Yes! Your Majesty! I'll do it now!" Yang Yi stood up and exited the carriage, then rode back to the front of the team.

After a while, all the guards and maids accompanying the carriage were taken away, leaving only Empress Wu, the old man, and Yang Yi in the carriage.

Empress Wu leaned on the soft cave, looked at the old man below, and said without a smile:

"I remember the surname of the leader of Heavenly Death is Yang, but you said your name is Ning Yang?" Empress Wu paused and muttered to herself: "Ning Yang, Yang Ning, Yang Ning! That's it!"

The old man concurred with compliments: "Your Majesty is wise and lofty. Her real name is Yang Ning because of her humble position. She has been using the name Ning Yang only because she was ordered to lie dormant. Please don't blame me!"

Empress Wu waved her hands indifferently, turned to Yang Yi and joked: "Eunuch Yang, do you hear that? Are you still the same as me, Chief Yang?"

Yang Yi, who was making tea for the two of them, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a smile:
"The empress is joking. How could I be so virtuous and talented as a servant? How dare I marry Leader Yang?"

Unexpectedly, Yang Ning clasped his fist towards Empress Wu and said seriously:

"Going back to your Majesty, I am an old friend with you in my humble position. Your Majesty often visited Ganye Temple back then. Young Eunuch Yang was your majesty's coachman, and I once served as your majesty's secret guard! Even though we have not met, I recognize my little Eunuch Yang. !”

As soon as these words came out, Empress Wu looked a little confused. After all, when she was a nun in Ganye Temple, she often had private meetings with Li Zhi. Such shameful scandals were not suitable to be mentioned on the stage.

Although Yang Ning is the leader of the God of Death, he still has the boldness of a Jianghu person. He says whatever comes to his mind and doesn't care about other people's feelings.

When Yang Yi heard Yang Ning's mistake, he was so frightened that he coughed twice:
"Mother, the tea is ready!"

"Leader Yang, please have some tea!"

He deftly resolved the awkward atmosphere by serving tea. Empress Wu was not interested in being polite to him anymore and asked straight to the point:

"What does Leader Yang want from me? But it doesn't matter!"

Yang Ning put down the tea cup, clasped his fists at Empress Wu and said, "It's not a big deal. I would like to ask your Majesty to help me ask Your Majesty when I can return to Chang'an after I return to Chang'an!"

Empress Wu, who was sitting on the main seat, had a change of expression, slapped her hand on the table, and reprimanded loudly:
"Yang Ning, you are so brave. You have been loyal to His Majesty all your life. As the leader of God, you have no regard for loyalty and serving the country, but you came to me to test His Majesty's tone. What crime should you do?"

Empress Wu got angry whenever she disagreed, which made Yang Ning confused. She quickly leaned over and explained:
"Your Majesty, I have misunderstood. How dare I be disloyal to Your Majesty? I have stayed in Ruzhou for more than twenty years, but I have never been summoned by Your Majesty. I am worried that Your Majesty...has forgotten about it!"

"Bold! So what if His Majesty forgets you? If you secretly spy on the Holy Will, do you still have His Majesty in your eyes? Do you want to rebel?"

Empress Wu was furious and unceremoniously slapped a "rebellion" hat on Yang Ning's head, humiliating the little old man who was several decades older than her.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. How dare you rebel in your humble position? You really have no choice but to do so!" Yang Ning raised her old face and said sadly:

"Although God obeys His Majesty's orders, he cannot meet His Majesty without authorization. Twenty years ago, God was ordered to evacuate Chang'an. Without His Majesty's edict, he could not step into Chang'an. However, now that he is old, he knows that the end is coming. , I am no longer able to lead the people of Tiansha, so I boldly asked my empress to pass the message on my behalf."

Yang Ning said it very straightforwardly. In today's terms, he said: He is getting older and wants his boss to send someone to take over his position so that he can go home and retire!
Empress Wu had a gloomy face and said nothing, but deep down she was extremely happy. Yang Ning took the initiative to ask her for help, which invisibly gave her an opportunity to intervene in the killing. As long as she mediates, this terrifying assassination organization will not be able to survive. It cannot be used by her!
But soon, she calmed down again. Although God's Killing is a handy weapon, once it is not grasped, it may suffer backlash. After all, Li Zhi only used it once and nothing happened again, which shows that this is a hot weapon. Yam.

But it would be a pity for Empress Wu to give it up.

To be honest, to Empress Wu, Yang Ning's request was just a matter of words, not even a simple effort. But the question was, why should she do this favor?

So after thinking for a moment, Empress Wu raised her arms, revealing her cunning nature:
"Although Yang Qing is not in Chang'an, I heard your majesty mention your family and they live very well in Chang'an! When I return to Beijing this time, I will relay Yang Qing's words to your majesty. As for whether I can persuade your majesty to let Yang If you retire and return home, everything depends on God's will!"

Yang Ning's expression twisted. There was something in Empress Wu's words. No matter how confused he was, he could still tell. Whether he could return to Chang'an for reunion did not depend on some bullshit 'God's will', but on Empress Wu's face.

In other words, his decision to stay or go depends on how Empress Wu speaks in front of His Majesty. If Empress Wu really wants to help him, with her status as queen and Li Zhi's favor, she can completely convince His Majesty to let him retire and return home.

But the premise is, what can he give in exchange for Empress Wu?Now the only bargaining chip in his hand is God!

Thinking of this, Yang Ning felt a little desperate in her heart!As the leader of God, he would never betray the emperor. If he really had that idea, he would have done it 20 years ago instead of waiting until now.

Yang Ning slowly stood up and bowed his hands towards Empress Wu: "Thank you for your kindness, I will say goodbye!"

With that said, I'm leaving!

Seeing that the other party's attitude was clear, Empress Wu was not angry. Instead, she admired Yang Ning's loyalty, so she settled for the next best thing and continued:
"I can convince Your Majesty to let Yang Qing return to his roots and return to Chang'an, but before Yang Qing leaves, he needs to help me with a small thing..."

At this point, when Yang Ning was about to refuse, Empress Wu raised her hand to stop her and continued: "Don't refuse in a hurry. This matter is not only about me, but also about Your Majesty. For you, it does not violate the purpose of God." !" Yang Ning hesitated for a moment, bowed and asked: "Please tell me, as long as it is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty and Your Majesty, God damn can do it!"

Empress Wu raised the corner of her mouth, leaned against the soft body involuntarily, and said slowly:
"In recent years, the power of the Tiandao Sect has blossomed all over the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty is very worried about this. The relationship between the royal family and the Taoist Sect has become increasingly tense. Unfortunately, the princess is now under his sect again. As a mother, I really I don’t feel comfortable leaving my daughter to them, so I would like to ask Yang Qing to send a few capable experts to protect the princess and prevent her from being wronged inside. Isn’t this request too much?”

Yang Ning breathed a long sigh of relief. Empress Wu's request was not only not excessive, it was simply what she wanted!

Originally, Tiansha, Tiandao, and Tianmou all belonged to the three major organizations of Tiance Mansion, with equal status. However, since the late emperor deliberately supported Tiandao, the status of Tiansha and Tianmou plummeted. In addition, Tiandao later took charge of Tiance Seal. , God’s life is even more difficult!
Over the past few decades, God has been like an ant, being trampled under the feet of Heaven. Like a mouse in a hole in the ground, it can only live in the dark.

Now Empress Wu has made it clear that His Majesty wants to knock on the Gate of Heaven. Although it is not a large-scale head-on confrontation, it is also great to be able to find bad luck on the other side in the name of protecting the princess.

Even if he knew that Empress Wu was using Heavenly Killer to deal with Heavenly Dao, it might not be a bad thing.

Thinking of this, Yang Ning suddenly glowed and quickly agreed:
"Don't worry, Madam, God will definitely not let the princess suffer any more humiliation. I will arrange manpower later to protect the princess' safety!"

humiliation?Empress Wu's eyes sharpened, she glanced at Yang Yi, and asked Yang Ning in a deep voice:
"Yang Qing, you said the princess was humiliated? Who humiliated her? When did it happen?"

"Don't you know, your Majesty?" Yang Ning was confused and asked subconsciously.

Just after he finished speaking, there was a "pop" sound, and Yang Yi, who was still waiting on the side, knelt down on his knees, kowtowed to Empress Wu and confessed:
"Your Majesty, I'm guilty. I concealed the news that the princess was punished by the Heavenly Master. I'm afraid that my Majesty will go to the Heavenly Master to settle the score after learning about it. I'm worried that if things get serious, not only will the princess not be able to enter the Taoist gate, but the Imperial Majesty will also be suppressed by the ministers. , that’s why I made my own decisions and didn’t inform the queen of the news, please punish me!”

After saying that, Yang Yi kowtowed like garlic. Yang Ning on the side realized that he had made a mistake and quickly interceded for Yang Yi:

"Your Majesty, little Eunuch Yang also thinks about your Majesty and the princess, please calm down!"

Empress Wu ignored Yang Ning's words. She just waved to Yang Yi: "Come here!"

Yang Yi hurriedly lay down in front of Empress Wu and continued to kowtow!
"Raise your head!" Empress Wu said again.

Yang Yi's face turned pale, but he still raised his head without hesitation.

"Pa!" Without any warning, Empress Wu slapped Yang Yi hard in the face.

"Pah!" Another slap in the face! !
"Pah!" The third slap!

"Pah!" The fourth slap!

……

Empress Wu was like an emotionless machine, slapping Yang Yi in the face one after another!

Yang Yi's face was quickly swollen and swollen, and blood overflowed from his nose, corners of his mouth, and ears!

But Empress Wu had no intention of stopping, but slapped Yang Yi's face one after another until her arms were sore and numb, then she slowly stopped.

She rubbed her wrists and smiled at Yang Yi, whose face was covered with injuries: "Go to the imperial doctor for treatment. You don't have to wait for me until you get to Chang'an! Go down!"

"Thank you... thank you... thank you, empress! Servant... slave... resign!"

Yang Yi supported his body, bowed to Empress Wu, and then staggered out.

Empress Wu turned to look at Yang Ning and smiled kindly: "I'm sorry for making Yang Qing laugh!"

Even Yang Ning, who had seen strong winds and waves, was also shocked by the woman in front of him.

At this moment, he felt a chill on his back, as if he was sitting on pins and needles, and just wanted to escape from the car as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else to do, I will leave my humble post!"

Seeing that Empress Wu was silent, Yang Ning cupped her hands and was about to turn around when Empress Wu's voice came from behind: "Yang Qing, wait a moment!"

Yang Ning's eyelids twitched, and she had no choice but to face Empress Wu: "What else do you want me to do?"

Empress Wu stretched out her red fingers and played with the tea cup on the table. After a while, she said calmly: "I changed my mind..."

After a long time, Yang Ning came out of the carriage tremblingly, supported by A Niu and Liu Yaoji, and quietly stepped aside, and the large army started on the road again!
Yang Ning's thoughts changed, and she watched Luan Jia leave after Empress Wu, and even ignored Liu Yaoji's nagging questions.

It wasn't until the large army disappeared that he looked back and sighed heavily.

A Niu took out a pear from his pocket, wiped it on his body casually, gnawed on the pear, and asked:
"I'm telling you, boss, please stop showing off. What did the queen say to you? Why do you look so desperate?"

"That's right! Old man, look at how distracted you are, you must have fallen in love with the Queen, right?"

Faced with the teasing from his subordinates, Yang Ning just shook his head and smiled bitterly, then slapped A Niu on the shoulder and said with emotion:
"Ah Niu, I just found out today that you married a good, gentle and virtuous wife. Although she likes to chop you with a kitchen knife, she is very upright!"

After that, he pinched Liu Yaoji's face again and continued to sigh:

"Girl, I just found out today that your methods of dealing with men are not ruthless enough!"

After saying that, Yang Ning put her hands behind her back, ignored the two confused people, and walked slowly towards Luoyang City.

A Niu scratched his head: "Isn't the old man crazy?"

Liu Yaoji nodded with deep understanding: "I think you are not only crazy, but also seriously ill!"
