It's early spring again. After just a few months' absence, Luoyang has been officially designated as the divine capital by Emperor Wu Zetian and became the capital of the Zhou Dynasty. Starting from 690 AD, Wu Zetian conducted the Great Zhou Dynasty here for fifteen years.

After that, she spent most of her time in Luoyang.

The city of Luoyang was expanded again. A series of buildings such as the Wanxiang Shrine, Tiantian, Zhenguan Hall, and Wucheng Hall were successively built and put into use. For a time, Luoyang City changed scenery and the streets were prosperous.

These huge changes amazed Chen Ziang and others. After breaking up with Huaiyi, he returned to the post house. Prime Minister Su was not in Luoyang, and the door of his post house was closed. He could not report this errand to Hebei Province.

In addition to official duties, Chen Ziang was also surprised by the secret of Golden Terrace. Even if he didn't believe Ye Qilang's explanation of Golden Terrace, the so-called "time travel" myth was supported by Jingru's experience, which forced him to think seriously.

Is there really time travel in this world? Is it really possible to turn back time? He seemed to have cleared up his thoughts, but still couldn't believe it. Zhou Meier said: "Brother, I think that Ye Qilang is probably a character who traveled from other places."

This sentence suddenly awakened Chen Ziang. He recalled Ye Qilang's puzzling words. If he used time travel to explain it, it would be completely understandable!

He high-fived excitedly and really wanted to yell. But Zhou Meier turned around and faced the door. There was already a woman standing outside, a woman who was not young, but definitely not old, and still had her grace.

She smiled and said: "Haha, am I being a little presumptuous here?" Zhou Meier also smiled and said: "The head of Tsinghua Tower, who is famous in Luoyang City, has also been the master of a little girl, how can he not welcome you?"

She stepped through the door and said, "Well, if it's not something important, Madam Lu won't show up in person." Zhou Meier asked her to sit on a stool, and she sat down with her buttocks tilted up.

"I came today just to be a messenger. You can read this message yourself." Seeing that Chen Ziang had not spoken, she took out a piece of paper from her pocket and put it on the table.

It is written in black and white: Chen Ziang, the special envoy of the Zongmenghui, ignored the murder of the members of the Zongmenghui by the imperial court, willingly surrendered to the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, deceived his teachers and destroyed his ancestors, and betrayed the great cause of Kuangfu. It was decided that Chen Ziang, the special envoy of the Zongmenghui, should be dismissed from the post of special envoy to the members of the Zongmenghui. Everyone can

Capture and kill him!

Behind it are the signatures of several presidents and members of the Clan Alliance such as Yang Qingyu. However, there is no name of Jingru, presumably because she does not agree with the propaganda to denounce Chen Ziang.

After Chen Ziang finished reading this memorandum, his eyes suddenly became dim. He held his forehead and said in a deep voice: "Is this the case?!" Lu Niang stared at Chen Ziang and said with a proud smile: "Isn't this enough?"

Chen Zi'ang couldn't answer and lowered his head. Zhou Mei'er said with a smile: "What's so great, it's better not to be this special envoy, so as not to see these so-called heroes. Out of sight, out of mind!"

Lu Niang giggled and said, "Miss Mei'er is getting more and more capable. Let me tell you another news, see if you can still laugh." Zhou Meier said, "Who doesn't know how powerful Lu Niang is."

Lu Niang quickly waved her hand and said: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just the one who brings the news. There is another news, but it happens to be related to Miss Mei'er." Zhou Mei'er pretended to be surprised and said: "Haha, it's rare that I can attract your attention.

.”

"Your mother, Princess Li'er, is in the hands of the second master." Lu Niang spoke very slowly, word by word coming out of her lips, and her eyes were fixed on Zhou Meier.

"What!" Zhou Meier's eyes widened and she couldn't laugh anymore.

Lu Niang looked at the two people's dejected looks, and she was secretly happy: It turned out that these two pieces of information were more effective than the top martial arts masters. She did not show it, pretending to be nervous and said: "Lu Niang was also entrusted by someone to bring these two pieces of information."

News. Farewell, farewell." She hurried out of the post house and showed a comfortable smile.

***

The whole night, the two of them sat in the room, saying nothing. The continuous bad news really made Chen Ziang feel unprecedented pressure. The sadness of his master's departure had not faded, and there was another bad news that the clan alliance would abandon him!

Thinking of the past few years, the brothers of the Zongmenghui have helped each other and survived countless disasters together: fighting Lingnan, Douyin Mountain, and pacifying Yazhou. They are about to usher in a peaceful and prosperous era. Now they are instigated by the second boss and Li Chang. These people who have fought side by side

But my brother issued a message and parted ways with me! It really hurts my heart and lungs!

The whereabouts of Princess Li'er made it even more difficult for Chen Zi'ang to move forward. They would definitely use Princess Li'er as a threat. This chess piece really put Chen Zi'ang and Zhou Mei'er into an embarrassing situation.

While the two of them were speechless, the news from Huaiyi came to the postman: he would meet with the Emperor of Zhou on the Luo River boat in the evening and report on the affairs of the Hebei Province delegation.

Chen Ziang had no choice but to put away his sad thoughts and try his best to wake himself up. But Zhou Meier couldn't help herself and lay on the bed sobbing. Chen Ziang didn't know how to persuade him and was so confused that he sighed: "Meier, I will find a way to deal with the princess's affairs.

.”

Although Zhou Meier was sad, she also understood that it was a critical moment and said: "Brother, I understand..." But she couldn't help crying. Chen Ziang said: "Don't cry. Alas, Prime Minister Su is not here now, I still go

Ask Master Shenxiu for advice."

When he thought that the Queen of Heaven had become the emperor, he really didn't know how to face it. So he had to find someone to ask for advice to confirm his thoughts. He asked the postman for a horse and drove towards the Longmen Yique Grottoes in the southwest of Luoyang City.

go.

Under the Lushena Buddha Statue Grotto Temple, a thin layer of snow covered the surrounding area, with only one exposed floor inside the cave. The white-browed monk was meditating, as if he had entered a state of enlightenment. A dead leaf fell on his shoulder, but it did not wake up the people who were chanting sutras at all.

Chen Ziang dismounted from a distance and approached the grotto gently. Except for a series of footprints when he came, there was no one else outside the grotto. It seemed that Shenxiu had been meditating here for a long time. When he saw the dead leaves on Shenxiu's shoulders, he did not dare to take the risk.

Excuse me, stand respectfully under the stone wall and wait.

Shenxiu quickly opened his eyes and said, "Chen Shiyi, your internal strength has improved a lot!" His words were full of exclamation.

Chen Ziang said respectfully: "Compared to Master Shenxiu, Master Huineng, and Master Cheng Xuanying, they are far behind." Shenxiu twitched his long eyebrows and said, "What? You are talking about Master Cheng Xuanying of Xihua who was granted the title of Emperor Taizong.

What?"

"Exactly. You three are the top masters in the world, the senior masters of martial arts." Chen Zi'ang replied. Shenxiu said: "Oh, haha. In this case, I will definitely find an opportunity to compete with the two of them.

"

Chen Ziang said: "Really? This junior will inform the two mages of the master's wishes." Shenxiu turned around and said with a smile: "Okay, I would like to thank Chen Shiyi in advance."

Seeing that Chen Ziang was still in the snow, he called out: "Come in quickly." Chen Ziang just stepped into the grotto, cupped his hands and said, "This junior is here to ask for advice on something important."

"Well, it's something about Hebei Province, right? What's going on with Li Jinzhong?" Shenxiu seemed to have the ability to predict the unknown. Chen Zi'ang truthfully reported the situation of Hebei Province and his party, but concealed the secrets about Laoheishan and Huanghuangtai.

As Shenxiu listened, his eyebrows twitched slightly, obviously sensing the danger. After Chen Ziang finished speaking, he said solemnly: "If Li Jinzhong wants to send troops, the court has already been prepared. Chen Shiyi doesn't need to worry!" He said clearly!

He was very determined and seemed to have already made up his mind about this.

Chen Ziang was stunned. Unexpectedly, the court was already ready for war before they came back to report. Shenxiu also saw Chen Ziang's thoughts and said: "The court has communicated with Li Jinzhong in many ways, and he has not restrained himself in the past few years.

Now we are expanding our troops to strengthen ourselves, and the imperial court is sending you here as a final warning."

"Oh, it turns out that the imperial court has already made two preparations." Chen Ziang nodded, but still insisted on expressing his point of view: "In my humble opinion, Xu Jingzhen was the one who instigated this matter. There may be room for redemption."

Shenxiu waved his sleeves and said, "Humph, I advise you to give up this idea." Chen Ziang suddenly heard Shenxiu's words become cold, and swallowed what he said next.

Shenxiu turned around, faced the stone Buddha again, and twisted the rosary beads in his hand...

Just when Lu Niang left the post house, Wang Yangzong quietly came to the mutton soup shop. He sat in the small shop and felt strange: The second owner's home was far away in Hebei Road, who could use his secret code to order him to come to this shop?

He slowly drank a bowl of mutton soup and saw a person walking on the official road, a thin man, walking to the west. But he suddenly turned around and passed by the door of the small mutton shop.

He naturally saw Wang Yangzong drinking mutton soup inside, and he showed a charming smile. Wang Yangzong also recognized the person at once, it was Xiaolan from Qinghua Building.

Xiaolan in disguise walked into the shop with her slim waist and sat down. Wang Yangzong began to feel uncomfortable, remembering that there was an inexplicable sting hidden in her charm.

Xiao Lan naturally noticed his uneasiness and giggled: "The leader of the Iron Foot Sect who is famous all over the northwest, there is no need to be afraid of a little girl like me." Wang Yangzong said doubtfully: "You are looking for me?"

Xiaolan puffed up her chest and said, "Can't I find you?" Wang Yangzong clenched his fists and said, "It's time to give me the antidote."

"Well -" Xiaolan responded leisurely: "As long as you complete this mission, I will help you cure the poison of ecstasy." She took out a pill and said: "Take it, here are three

The antidote to the moon.”

Wang Yangzong quickly put the pills into his pocket. Xiaolan said: "The mission this time is that you return to Guazhou immediately and summon the brothers from Tiejiaomen to do a big job."

"What are you doing?" Wang Yangzong said alertly.

"Go to Kucha Kingdom and kidnap Bai Suji, the king of Kucha. Let him cut off the Silk Road at that time." Xiaolan said very lightly, even though this was a fatal task.

Wang Yangzong gritted his teeth and said nothing. Xiaolan said: "As long as you finish this matter, I will give you the antidote, and you will no longer suffer from the pain of ecstasy. What's more, the little girl has also admired Wang Daxia for a long time..."

Her voice became lower and lower, and Wang Yangzong interrupted: "Okay, let me think about it."
