Chapter 123: Re-enter Luoyang

"The general does not leave the customs, but it is a good thing. It proves that there must be a major breakthrough in the martial arts of the general." Zhang Bairen stood in the courtyard, with a servant behind carrying a package: "Don't wait, who knows how long the general will be in retreat, the court. I'm afraid I won't be delayed."
Hearing Zhang Bairen's words, Wei Yun showed hesitation, and Zhuo Junhou on one side said: "Originally, your victory was a great joy, but if you delayed your return date, your majesty will be angered. Be careful when good things turn bad. ."
Hearing this, Wei Yun hesitated and looked at Zhang Bairen with a pair of eyes: "Well, then let's get on the road."
Zhang Bairen and Wei Yunqi got into the carriage separately, and were escorted by a large number of escorts towards the gate.
This time it was beyond Zhang Bairen's expectation. The Khitan did not make any major moves.
It's not that the Qidan didn't want to move, but that the Qidan was entangled by the Turks, and it was difficult to separate and intervene in matters within the gate.
All the way, after the two separated, Zhang Bairen went to Luoyang alone, while Wei Yun went to Jiangdu.
Luoyang City
This is the first time that Zhang Bairen walked on Luoyang Street in a real sense. Looking at the business travelers in the past, Zhang Bairen bought a handful of fried chestnuts and ate them slowly.
Although Luoyang has become the cultural and political center of the Sui Dynasty because of the relocation of its capital, beggars can be seen everywhere on the road.
Zhang Bairen sighed helplessly, there are beggars in the 21st century, let alone ancient times?
Back at his residence, the guards of the Military Secret Mansion were practicing martial arts. Zhang Bairen returned to the study and Xiaolong Xiaohu came over: "Is your lord going all the way smoothly?"
Looking at Xiaolong Xiaohu, Zhang Bairen rolled his eyes: "Go and do your business."
"Look at your lord, how about this long knife?" Xiaohu handed the long knife around his waist.
Zhang Bairen took out the long knife, and immediately unsheathed it, but seeing the cold light flashing, the hair was blown and broken.
"It's made by Lightning Strike God Iron?" Zhang Bairen asked curiously.
"My lord is so insightful" Xiaohu gave a flattering.
Hearing this, Zhang Bairen didn't comment, and the long knife in his hand was sheathed, and he handed it to Xiaolong: "The knife is a good knife, but the person who made the knife seems to be a little worse."
"My lord, don't worry, we brothers will work hard," Xiaohu said.
"My lord is back, don't you go to see the empress in the palace? These days the empress is talking about the little gentleman" Xiaolong pinned the long knife to his waist.
Zhang Bairen nodded: "Naturally I want to see it, but I want to fill my stomach first."
"My lord is really stupid, there is nothing in the royal banquet in the palace, the cook in our house is far worse than the palace," Xiaohu said.
"As long as you talk a lot, then I will go to the palace to see the empress." Zhang Bairen stepped out of the gate, boarded the carriage and headed towards the palace.
Wanting to enter the palace is not that simple. It has to go through layers of review and inspection, and then a series of communication, not a single hour is a miss.
Fortunately, Zhang Bairen was lucky. He just came to the gate of the palace and ran into the little yellow door next to the queen.
Xiaohuangmen commanded a group of eunuchs to carry the big box, looked at the carriage that came, and snorted angrily: "Didn't you see things moving here? Don't let the road go."
There are no simple people who can enter the palace, so Xiaohuangmen dare not go too far.
"Oh, the maid is very busy." Zhang Bairen raised the curtain of the car and glanced at Xiaohuangmen.
"My lord! You are here, and the empress is talking about you. The little man has no eyes to know Mount Tai, so he dashed against the adult and asked the adult to atone for his crime." The little yellow gate apologized with a smile and was full of joy.
"I want to go into the palace to see the empress," Zhang Bairen said.
"My lord is waiting, our family will pass you through," while talking at the little yellow door, he said to a group of eunuchs: "You all give me swift hands and feet. If you dare to be lazy, be careful with our whip."
While talking, the little yellow door hurriedly ran towards the palace.
For almost half an hour, Xiao Huangmen walked out in sweat and panting, holding the Queen's warrant: "My lord, please go in."
While talking, he ignored the who was carrying, but took the reins and led the carriage into the palace.
With the carriage wheel, Zhang Bairen looked at the palace. The marble floor was luxurious and undisturbed.
Zhang Bairen got out of the carriage and walked through several gates with Xiaohuangmen before arriving at Yong'an Palace:
"Niang, the little gentleman is here."
There was a sound from the little yellow door.
"Niang Niang said to ask Mr. Xiao to go in" Qiaoyan walked out and smiled sweetly at Zhang Bairen, smiling like a flower.
Zhang Bairen walked into the hall upon hearing the words, but saw that Empress Xiao seemed to be copying something.
"I have seen the empress" Zhang Bairen said.
"Yo, the little gentleman is back." Empress Xiao raised her head, her face was full of smiles, with indescribable solemnity, but the solemnity contained an extremely subtle charm.
Zhang Bairen nodded: "Something happened along the way."
"I heard that Master Wei was assassinated by the Qidan, or is it thanks to the little gentleman for extending a helping hand?" Empress Xiao stopped writing and looked at Zhang Bairen with a pair of eyes.
"It just happened to be passing by, just let it go." Zhang Bairen smiled bitterly.
"Wei Yunqi made a great contribution this time, and you also have your share of the credit." Empress Xiao looked at Zhang Bairen: "Come, look at the Dao De Jing in this palace.
Hearing this, Zhang Bairen stepped forward and looked at the Tao Te Ching, which was a real manuscript.
"Niangniang's Tao Te Ching, Xiaguan seems to have a charming meaning, Niangniang's mind is confused," Zhang Bairen looked at it for a while and said.
Empress Xiao smiled: "You kid has eyesight. Hearing people say that your Majesty has expanded the harem in Jiangdu, lingering and forgetting, it seems that he has forgotten this palace."
Listening to Empress Xiao's words, there was a faint resentment, Zhang Bairen looked down at the Tao Te Ching, not daring to answer.
Resent woman! Deep girl complaining woman! There is no shortage of grudges in the palace.
Even if a woman is beautiful and charming, if she has been together for more than ten years, she will probably be bored, and her passion will disappear.
Yang Guanggui is the emperor, there are countless beauties in the world, how can he not linger?
Zhang Bairen looked away from Empress Xiao's handwritten Tao Te Ching, then looked to the side booklet, slowly picked it up and scanned it slowly.
"Mr. Xiao seems to be very interested in Tao Te Ching" Empress Xiao came over.
"Shang Shan is like water" Zhang Bairen looked away from the Tao Te Ching, with a pair of eyes looking at Empress Xiao: "The lower official is rude, the lower official of the Tao Te Ching has long heard of the name, but none of the people who have seen it is the original version. Now I see the real Tao Te Ching here. But it's hard for me for a while."
"My palace understands." Empress Xiao moved lightly and came to the front of the case.
He stretched out his hand and picked up the Tao Te Ching and looked at it for a while before handing it to Zhang Bairen: "The Tao Te Ching in the palace is not the original version. The original version of the Tao Te Ching has long been lost. This Tao Te Ching is nothing but a tribute from the Louguan Sect. If you like it, I will give it to you."
"This...Thank you, Niang Niang" Zhang Bairen took over the Tao Te Ching, with a smile on his face.
Looking at Zhang Bairen, Empress Xiao said, "Little gentleman is outside the customs. How is General Yujuluo now?"
"The general has already passed an important hurdle, stepping out of the door and beginning to transform." Zhang Bairen stuffed the Tao Te Ching into his sleeve.
"Really?" Empress Xiao's expression became serious.
Zhang Bairen nodded: "This matter has something to do with the lower officials. Pang Dao accidentally got some ancestral dragon bones that day and gave them to the general. The ancestral dragon bones are like brine, and the general is soy milk."
Hearing this, the Emperor Xiao stood there in a gloomy mood, and only after a long time did he speak: "You are generous, the little gentleman knows ~EbookFREE.me~What will happen if Yujuluo breaks through?"
"The general will never usurp the great Sui Dynasty" Zhang Bairen looked at Empress Xiao.
"That's not necessarily!" The Emperor Xiao looked solemnly behind, and grabbed Zhang Bairen's ear: "Little devil, do you still have an ancestral dragon bone?"
"No! No! Absolutely no more!" Zhang Bairen shook his head repeatedly, and Empress Xiao looked up and down Zhang Bairen: "Really no more?"
Zhang Bairen smiled bitterly, shut up.
Empress Xiao let go of Zhang Bairen's ears, and sighed softly: "In fact, many people in the Supreme Martial Dao are stuck at the door, it is difficult to find treasures and transform."
"Nang Niang, don't worry, Yu Juluo will never tamper with Jiangshan! If he tampered with Jiangshan, the official will not agree." Zhang Bairen looked at Empress Xiao.
"Yo, Yujuluo broke through the highest martial arts, the world is invincible, why don't you agree?" Empress Xiao looked at Zhang Bairen playfully.
Zhang Bairen grinned: "I naturally have a way to deal with it. The big deal is to ask the world to have more martial arts experts."
