Tonight is responsible for vigilance outside the Xingqing Palace, Long Wujun. As the most forbidden army trusted by the emperor, they have already checked the square in front of the main building of diligent affairs early. They have placed guards everywhere, opened thorn walls, and made every effort.

This is the most painful moment for Long Wujun in a year.

In another hour, the lamp-pulling carts and their fans selected by various prefectures and counties will enter the square and do their final fighting skills. By then, people will be surrounded by water, and people will stand on the corners or even the walls of nearby streets. Even more troublesome is that the emperor has to stand on the building of the diligent government affairs and accept the long live of the people on the square. In the eyes of the sage, this is to enjoy the time with the people and share a prosperous age, but in the eyes of Long Wujun, this is an innumerable security risk.

Today is too special. The Long Wujun cannot isolate the idlers and other people with heavy soldiers like he usually does. In addition to the Jinming, Chuyang, and Tongyang gates under the diligent government affairs building, there is also a Taishang Xuanyuan headlight building this year.

The word "Taishang Xuanyuan" was the honor given to Laozi by Gao Wushi. Nowadays, Saint Chong Dao is admired, especially You Chong Lao Yan, so when you build a lamp tower, you have to hang this name.

This light tower is majestic and magnificent. I do n’t worry about being stolen, but I am afraid that people with strong curiosity will come over and owe me something like a floating bead horn. Therefore, the Longwu Army set up three layers of guards, and no one without official bamboo craftsman should be close.

More than a dozen chariots slowly entered the south square of Xingqing Palace from the east side. This is because the traffic in the entire urban area was almost paralyzed. They could only take the passage between the east wall and the Leifang. Long Wujun soldiers on the edge of the square noticed it and raised their hands. The convoy stopped, and the head of the team took the initiative to greet him, claiming to be the head of a craftsman, and handing over a string of bamboo books tied with string.

"Denglou lifts the candle." He said.

The guards knew that there would be craftsmen stationed in the lamp house and operated candlesticks, and it was not unexpected that they would come. They took the bamboo books and looked at them one by one.

On these bamboo books, the names, appearances, birthplaces, teachers, affiliated shops, and authority of the craftsmen will be written, and there is also the signing of the chief of the government on the back. There is no problem. Guard Wu Chang put down the bamboo book and looked around at the team, suddenly feeling strange:

"Master Zhang?"

According to regulations, such a major event as the maintenance of the lamphouse must be followed by officials from the Ministry of Yu. Xing Tou leaned over and whispered: "Cough, don't mention it, Mr. Zhang just watched the lantern on the bridge just now, and people squeezed it into the water. We haven't caught it yet. We are afraid of delaying work, so we make our own claims and come first. "

When guard Wu Chang heard this, there was still such a thing. Was he thinking: "The craftsman settled in, must be accompanied by the principal of the Ministry of Yu." Xingtou said anxiously: "Master Zhang is not pushed by me! He does not come, what can I do?"

"The rules are the rules, or let the Ministry of Yu send another person." The guard suggested. As a member of the Dragon Martial Army, he is responsible for the safety of the emperor, and everything is about rules.

"I was watching the lanterns outside, how can I find them ..." Xingtou became more anxious and rubbed his hands loudly. "There is another hour before the ugly. With a little delay, we can't finish it on time. The saint hopes Tonight, the lamphouse is bright, telling the prosperous world. In case the lamphouse is not lit ... just because Long Wujun will not let our craftsmen approach the lamphouse? "

Upon hearing this, the guard Wu Chang began to hesitate. No matter how big the rules are, I'm afraid I'm not as embarrassed. He glanced at the train team: "Well, the craftsman can go in, but what is transported in this car?"

"All replacement parts are used for maintenance and replacement." Xing Tou lifted the tarpaulin and asked the guards to check. The guard Wu Chang waved his hand, and each of them had a car and carefully checked it. The car is indeed full of bamboo tubes. The ends of the bamboo tube are cut very strangely, similar to some parts on the light tower. Other than that, there is nothing else.

However, these bamboo tubes are very hot, and it seems that they have not been heated for long. Wu Chang did not understand the artisans, guessing that this is probably some kind of processing secret. He put down the bamboo tube and raised another question: "There is another hour to raise the candle, there are so many spare parts in need of repair?"

Xing Tou pointedly pointed at the carriage this time: "You can ask Mao Jian directly about this question." Wu Chang looked up, and a thin old man with a goatee was sitting in front of the carriage. He was expressionless. He looked up at the lamp tower-it was Shang Dengjian Mao Shun.

Wu Chang said nothing at once. What was Mao Shun's identity, and where did he get a Dragon Wujun soldier to question him in turn? He no doubt thought, ordered to lift the thorn wall, and let the team slowly drive in.

The two guards in a row were successfully released. Although these craftsmen did not guarantee Zhang Luo and did not comply with the rules, the presence of Master Mao Shun was enough to deter all difficulties. So the team drove smoothly below Taishang Xuanyuan Light Tower.

The lamp tower is too high, so the bottom is made of brick and stone to form a mysterious view, and the surrounding loess is tamped, and then a huge gourd-shaped bamboo frame is supported. The passage into the lamp tower is in that mysterious view.

The craftsmen jumped off the carriage, each holding several unicorn arms, and entered the lighthouse along the passage. There are also Long Wujun guards here, but they got a report from the front, they did not make any trouble, and came over to help carry it.

Mao Shun was the last to get out of the car. His movements were slow and he seemed absent-minded. Xingtou used to embrace his arm cordially. Mao Shun glanced at Xingtou and whispered, "The old man has sent you over as expected. Can you spare my family?"

"Where does Mao Jian speak?" Long Bo smiled, "You have to rely on your talents to learn from the transformation of the lighthouse."

Tan Qi never imagined that he would encounter Taizhen in the government building.

Speaking of this woman, it is really a legendary figure in Chang'an Square. Her real name is Yang Yuhuan and she is the concubine of the birthday king Li Yuan. Tan Qi met her on a spring tour of the kings. Princess Shou accidentally fell off Ma Wei and injured her ankle. Tan Qi was good at massage and helped her. The two talked very well. Princess Shou did not look at the identity of Qing Tanqi's maidservant, and soon became good friends with him.

Unexpectedly, within a few years, the emperor actually summoned Yang Yuhuan into the palace and said that he would pray for the Queen Mother Dou and let her become a monk. , But the whole Changan knew what was going on, and it was a strange talk for a while.

Speaking of it, she hasn't seen it too much in years, and I can't think of meeting again at the Shangyuan Spring Banquet today. When Tan Qi looked at the graceful robe, she knew that although she was on the side of the king, she had not yet received a name, so she was still dressed up and was inconvenient to appear at the banquet-Shou Wang was sitting below.

I was so surprised to see Tanqi. She was in the palace for a long time, and it was rare to see the old friends she had held in the past, holding the hand of Tanqi: "But I haven't seen my sister for a long time, how is it recently?" Tanqi's determination to finally get up was interrupted at once, I don't know how to answer for a while.

Too true, only when she was too excited, she dragged her aside and pulled homely affectionately. Tan Qi was very anxious, and his mouth responded casually, but his eyes kept looking at the other side of the bead curtain. The sky crown was shaking with the graceful rhythm of "Nose Dress".

Taizhen saw that Tan Qi was absent, and was quite curious. She swept the seat just now, the prince was there, but Li Bi was not. Could it be that Li Bi gave her servant maid to the prince? But her dirty dress was not like attending a banquet.

"How is my sister dressed up? Did something happen?"

Tan Qi's eyes suddenly gleamed upon hearing this sentence.

Taizhen's practice of blessings is purely for the purpose of the emperor's eyes to conceal his eyes and ears, but in fact, grace is not added. She heard, however, that the palace all called Taizhen as a lady, and regarded her as a concubine. Wouldn't it be more effective than a hard break if I could ask her to talk to Tianzi?

Tan Qi's thoughts changed, and suddenly grabbed Taizhen's sleeve and cried, "Sister, you must save me!" Taizhen quickly lifted her up and said slowly: "What's the reason for panic, might as well tell me." Although she was just A reclusive female dao, but the tone of her confidence is hidden in her tone.

Tan Qi grabbed her soft slender hands and shyly said: "I personally ordered a lifetime with a person, but he was envyed by the adulterer and framed by stolen goods. Now he is wanted by the whole city. I ran around all night, but no one was willing to help. He had to risk his death to find the prince, but the prince also ... "

Tan Qi understands Taizhen very well. She is a naive person. She doesn't understand what Chang'an destroys. She only likes to listen to all kinds of legendary stories. What kind of phoenix begs the phoenix, Luo Shenfu, Liang Zhu, and Hong Fu at night are all love things of men and women. If you want Taizhen to help, you can only make up a love story between yourself and Zhang Xiaojing.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Taizhen's eyes were filled with tears, and she felt that the story was really poignant. She was Princess Shou in her early years, and now she serves the emperor. She has been unable to help herself. She always has some longing for such stories.

Tai Zhen hugged Tan Qiqi's soft body, and found that she even had a smear of dirt on her neck. It was obvious that she was not idle this night, and her heart hurt.

"Relax, let me talk to the saint. What is the name of your love lover?"

"It's called Zhang Xiaojing." Tan Qi finished, and quickly shook his head, "Why does the crossbow of the thousand make the mouse. The sage's actions are full of wind and thunder, how can he take care of such small things, but underestimate her sister." At this point, she was still thinking about herself, and was very moved and relieved: "Relax, I often ask for some rewards for my family. The saints are all sure. It is easy to ask for amnesty."

Tan Qi whispered: "Begging for His Majesty ’s forgiveness will involve too much North Korea and China, and I ca n’t be implicated in my sister. If your sister has the heart, just ask your Majesty to ask Que Lehuo, then it will become.

"What's that?" Taizhen didn't understand it at all.

Tan Qi smiled bitterly: "This is what I love Lang is involved in, and the holy ears are obscured by the adulterers. So as long as His Majesty pays a little attention, he can get out of trouble."

I really thought about it, it was simpler than asking for a reward, and no trace was revealed, so I nodded my answer. Tan Qi was short and wanted to kneel and thank him, but she was helped by Taizhen: "I am outside the palace except for a few sisters, only you are the old acquaintances, you don't have to."

Watching Tan Qiying's tears, Taizhen suddenly felt an extraordinary sense of accomplishment. A short marriage is a long-cherished wish for yourself. She comforted Tanqi again, opened the bead curtain and went to Tianzi's side.

Tan Qi stopped at the same place, uneasy.

Tan Qi has already calculated before, whether it is to vindicate Zhang Xiaojing, or to return the Jing'an Division to the East Palace, he can't get Yu Qian to say. These things are trivial to the emperor. To disturb the emperor, it must be a sharp poison needle, the kind that stings.

This poison needle is Que Lehuo, destroying Chang Lehuo.

Right now the prince wants to endure, Li wants to fight, both sides intentionally or unintentionally ignore the threat of Que Lehuo. What Tanqi can do is to completely overthrow the entire case and make things worse. As long as the emperor asked, everything would be on the table.

Tan Qi does not know whether this situation can be disrupted and whether Zhang Xiaojing can be saved, but it will never be worse than the current situation. But she also knows that in this trouble, she will offend Prince and Li Xiang at the same time, and the fate of the next one may be very miserable.

But she couldn't care about these things now, just staring at the other side of the drapery. I saw that Huang Guan, who was too real, slowly approached Tongtian Guan, and suddenly tilted his head, seeming to tilt his head to speak. Shortly afterwards, Tan Qi saw the two young eunuchs hurried into the curtain and ran out to the booth. The crown prince and Li Xiang left the meeting together and moved towards the case. Yuanyouguan and Wushayao's heads were lowered at the same time, as if they were saluting, but they hadn't been lifted for a long time. Only Tongtianguan wobbled from time to time, presumably speaking.

Zhong Qing drum music in the palace is still playing, the noise is still there. Tan Qi couldn't hear the content of the conversation before the Yu case. He could only lean on the cloud wall, just like a gambler who took all his net worth, waiting for a moment to open the cup.

Finally, Yuanyouguan and Wushaya raised their heads at the same time, and one of them shook slightly, so that their hearts seemed to be shocked. Tan Qi didn't know the good or bad, swallowed her mouth, didn't wait for Taizhen to come out, and quietly retreated to the back of the Prince's seat.

Li Heng walked back with an iron face, and saw Tanqi, his eyes suddenly suddenly: "Did you tell Taizhen that woman?"

"Yes." Tan Qi stood upright.

"You ..." Li Heng pointed at her, her fingers trembling slightly, so annoyed that she didn't know what to say, "Your **** maid! You're selling everything for a death row!"

The talented emperor asked Que Lehuo, neither of them could hide. Li Xiang took the opportunity to blame him, accusing Li Mi of entrusting non-humans, appointing a betrayed prisoner of death, and causing Jingan's fiasco. Li Heng had no choice but to justify his arrogance. Li Xiang said that Jing Ansi was incapable of being attacked, and he accused Yu Shitai of robbing the class to seize power; Li Xiang said that Zhang Xiaojing colluded with the fawn, and he took out Zhang Xiaojing's heroic behavior in West City to refute the slander.

The two were dragged by a little maidservant into an unprepared war, and the quarrel was only air-to-air. At last the emperor heard impatiently and said, "The enemy hasn't retreated, so why ah!" He had no interest in Zhang Xiaojing, but Que Lehuo wanted to destroy the entire Changan. Li Heng and Li Linfu had to confess their guilt together, expressing their suspicion of giving up and protecting Changan's safety.

Although Tan Qi didn't know the truth, he could hear the phrase "for a dead prisoner", and he knew that Jing Ansi should not bite Zhang Xiaojing for the time being. She was too lazy to explain the misunderstanding with Li Heng, leaned her body against the back wall, and closed her eyes tiredly. She heard footsteps and grabbed her arm fiercely, dragging it out.

The next thing can only depend on Deng Tuozi ...

The soldiers crowded into Chaofen's yard, and the first person to react was Is. Without saying a word, he jumped directly into the work shed and pulled the straw canopy, and the many thatched grasses fell down, covering the sight of the brigade army.

"Zhang Duwei, go away!"

Knowing that the situation could not be delayed any longer, Zhang Xiaojing frowned and turned to run in the opposite direction. But he soon saw that on the opposite eaves, more than a dozen archers had stood still and were stroking strings. At this time, if you want to walk across the wall again, you will immediately become a living target for Yujian.

He hurriedly raised his head and shouted Ess down. Ess was busy standing on the top of the canopy to lift the grass awning, but did not hear it. Suddenly, in the night, "Woo", a few arrows broke through, and Ess stiffened and fell to the ground.

"Is ?!"

Zhang Xiaojing was shocked and wanted to respond quickly, but a brigade of soldiers had already rushed over and blocked the road between the two. Yuan Zai was also surrounded by guards and entered the courtyard. He glanced at Is lying on the ground and shouted proudly at this side: "Jingan Division is doing business! You have nowhere to go, you can still capture without a hand?"

In order to increase the effect, Yuan Zai picked up a knife himself and stabbed him on the seriously injured thigh, making him scream loudly.

Strangely, this time Zhang Xiaojing didn't move.

Yuan Zai was a little surprised by his calmness, but he looked around and felt relieved. There is only one entrance to the courtyard gate, and many soldiers cautiously pressed towards this side. There are also archers and crossbowmen on the periphery, controlling all highs. This is a celestial net, and these crickets can't escape anyway.

However, he remembered that he was almost held hostage by the news, and then took a few steps back, hiding himself in the brigade, really foolproof.

"Light up!" Yuan Zai felt that this beautiful moment had to be brighter.

Immediately a soldier hung the lantern on the colonnade, and the entire courtyard became brighter. Yuan Zai suddenly tilted his head, and said, "Tu". He finally saw clearly that the man in front of him seemed to be a one-eyed man with only one eye socket left in his left eye.

"Zhang Xiaojing?" Yuan Zai was shocked and delighted. He thought that they were two spies of crickets. He didn't expect such a big fish. It seems that today's great achievements are destined to be monopolized by him.

Yuan Zai leaned forward and shouted sharply: "Zhang Xiaojing! You are a guilty sin, and you will never die!" Party feathers Yao Runeng, Xu Bin, Wenran, etc., have all been taken down, and they are waiting for your head to fight! "
