Chapter 1 Wu Ruizheng and Xiao Yingshan

Luoyang faces Yique in the south and Mangshan in the north. It was already a prosperous place before the Sui Dynasty.

During the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui, millions of people from Hebei opened the Yongji Canal, connecting Luoyang Zhuo County, and moved tens of thousands of wealthy merchants and merchants from all states in the world, thousands of households were crafted to make them stable. They also gathered strange materials and stones south of the river and north of the five ridges to provide them with rare birds and beasts. The crown was like clouds, and all industries were flourishing. It was far away from Chang'an and was known as the Eastern Capital.

In the third year of Chuigong, Wu Zetian dispelled the opposition and called the Eastern Capital the Shendu, demolished the Luoyang Palace, launched a large number of civil and industrial buildings, and demolished the main palace into the Mingtang, which was called the "Wanxiang Shendu".

The Wanxiang Temple opened the precedent of the main hall of the ancient Chinese imperial palace from square to round. A huge round cover was built above to symbolize the round sky and a square high platform was built below to symbolize the place. There are eight directions, twelve directions, and twenty-four directions, respectively representing the eight festivals, December and twenty-four solar terms. There are nine golden dragons above the round cover, holding a golden phoenix, which is solemn and majestic. All major ceremonies such as sacrifices, court meetings, celebrations, and selection of scholars are held here.

At this time, Wu Zetian stood at the height of Mingtang and looked down at the north.

There is a hall in the distance, but at this moment, a corner collapsed, and thousands of craftsmen were working on it overnight.

It was originally the Daye Hall of Luoyang Palace in the Sui Dynasty. She demolished the Daye Hall and built a paradise to protect the Buddha statue. The statue was more than 100 feet high. Before it was built, it was blown down by the strong wind. Wu Zetian was furious and killed many people. He ordered the craftsmen to rebuild it. It was still under construction at this time.

She was thinking, but behind her, there were brisk footsteps. Although she had already ordered not to disturb her, when she heard the panic of the palace maid and eunuch outside, it was obvious that they could not stop this person.

Wu Zetian smiled, but before she turned around, the person who came had already pounced on her and called out "Grandma" naughtyly.

Wu Zetian turned around and saw that although the girl was in a phoenix-breasted silk, she had already become a mess while running. She couldn't help but smile and said, "There is no rule for the title, and no rule for the person. She is even more naughty than when your mother was a child."

The girl's surname is Wu, and her mother is Princess Taiping, the youngest daughter of Wu Zetian and Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi.

Princess Taiping was deeply favored by Wu Zetian. She had married Xue Shao before. Later, because she didn't like Xue Shao, she instigated her mother to take advantage of the rebellion of Li Chong, a clan of the Li Tang Dynasty, to implicate Xue Shao for no reason. She was punished 100 times and starved to death in prison. Later, Wu Zetian took the initiative and married Princess Taiping to her nephew Wu Youji.

A few years after Princess Taiping married Wu Youji, she gave birth to a daughter. When she was born, it was clearly the twelfth month of winter, hundreds of Ruisheng flowers in the garden suddenly bloomed, and there were even phoenixes circling on the roof. Wu Zetian was very happy and thought it was a hymn of Shengping, so she named the girl Princess Shengping and named Wu Ruizheng. The girl grew up a little and started to learn characters. However, the character Zheng in Ruizheng was always written as Wei. Wu Zetian felt very interesting and teased her "Weiwei, Weiwei", so she called her nickname again.

Weiwei was extremely intelligent when she was young, and she had to teach her immortal arts. When she was six or seven years old, she often used magic to sneak out. When others searched for her, she inexplicably got out. No one could do anything to her. She was also like her mother in character, domineering and bullying others.

Wu Zetian was so popular because Princess Taiping was like her and she was very fond of her. Not only was she pretty, but her domineering nature was even more than her mother. Although Wu Zetian often admonished her, she was actually as pampered as honey on her knees.

He snuggled in Wu Zetian's arms and said unyieldingly: "Grandma, you have clearly promised me to be a general and lead troops to pacify Xiaoyingshan, why did you give this credit to others?"

She called Wu Zetian as a rural villager, but Wu Zhao didn't mind at all. She stroked her head and smiled and said, "Training troops to fight is a man's business. What do you do as a girl, you, go to the pile of men?"

He pouted slightly: "Grandma, you are also a woman. Women can be emperors, but why can't they be generals? Besides, I am much better than the fourth, fifth and sixth uncles. Why can they lead troops, but I can't?"

The fourth, fifth and sixth uncles she mentioned were Wu Sisi, Wu Wu Si, Wu Liusi and others. A long time ago, Wu Zhao selected a baby with roots from the Wu family. He was sent to Huang Tiandao to learn various magic techniques since he was young. When he grew up, he all regarded him as his nephews to control military and political affairs.

Although Weiwei is young, his ability is far above the descendants of the Wu family who came out of Huang Tiandao. In Huang Tiandao, there are three officials, twelve offerings and thirty-six directions. Weiwei is one of the "three officials" among them, and in fact, it is an important chess piece used by Wu Zetian to control Huang Tiandao.

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "If you are so unstoppable, if you send you to war, you will suddenly disappear and the enemy will break into the army. I am afraid that your soldiers will still be looking for you."

With a slight pursed her lips and pestered her, Wu Zetian had no choice but to change the subject and asked her what she had done outside these days and where she had gone to play.

He remembered something slightly and smiled and said, "I didn't go anywhere. I just wandered around and met a sister with a very good literary talent. Even Shangguan Zhaoyi, who is next to you, is probably not as good as her."

Wu Zetian didn't believe it and said, "Don't talk big, no one among the ministers can compare with Wan'er's poems."

Weiwei said: "If grandma doesn't believe it, she can call her to try it out. She is still waiting for me outside."

Wu Zetian asked: "What's her name?"

Weiwei said: "Her surname is Ai and her name is Cuifang."

Wu Zetian asked someone to summon Ai Cuifang to visit. After a while, a girl in black came. She was graceful and beautiful, and even more beautiful than Weiwei. Wu Zetian tried to use poetry, and she turned out to be beautiful and beautiful.

Wu Zetian was overjoyed and gave him gold, silver and brocade, and was named a female scholar. Ai Cuifang thanked him, but was slightly pulled away.

When Wu Zetian saw the slightest coming like a wind and going like a sudden rain, she shook her head and laughed, but she couldn't do anything to her.

He slightly pulled Ai Cuifang out of the Temple of All Things, but another stunning woman came with pearls and jade. The three of them looked at each other quietly, but pretended to be ignorant, and just passed by like this.

The stunning woman came to Wu Zetian with her pearls and jade, and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I watch the astrological signs at night. The evening after tomorrow is the last auspicious snow this year. After that, the spring is warm and flowers bloom. When you appreciate the snow again, you will have to wait for the next year."

It turned out that this woman was Shi You, a female scholar who had presented the "Ba Su Ling Shu" and "The Female Golden Elixir" to Wu Zetian. She was named the Sitian Supervisor and was in charge of the astronomy and calendar on Sitiantai.

Although Shi You Tan was young, he knew all kinds of knowledge such as astrology, planning, three styles, and miscarriage. He was very good at all. In the big picture, he calculated the calendar solar terms hundreds of years later. In the small area, he never made any mistakes when it rains or when it clears. Such talent is afraid that even Yuan Tiangang, the famous craftsman around Taizong Li Shimin, may not be able to compare with it, and is deeply favored by Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian heard that the next day was the last heavy snow this year, so he issued an edict to ask officials to prepare for a banquet, intending to gather the ministers to appreciate the snow and write poems. He also remembered that the previous poetry meetings were all the talented woman Shangguan Wan'er around her, and none of the ministers could compare with her. However, Ai Cuifang was also very literary. Perhaps she could really compete with Shangguan Wan'er, so she issued an order to ask Ai Cuifang to attend the meeting together...

Xiaoyingshan is located in Longyou Road.

The Longyou Road occupies the largest area among the ten roads in the world. It connects Persia in the east and Tubo in the south. It still runs thousands of miles outside Yumen Pass, but most of them are Gobi deserts and almost uninhabited.

Xiaoying Mountain is inside Yumen Pass and outside Helan Mountain.

Tang Xiaofeng took his daughters to Lingzhou, but wanted to leave Yin Xuan's seventh daughter and Lian Jinfeng here.

Lin Shuxiang said in surprise: "Why don't the young master take us up the mountain?"

Tang Xiaofeng said: "This is going to fight. What are you girls doing?"

Yang Moxiang muttered: "Women can be emperors, why can't they go to war?"

Tang Xiaofeng rolled his eyes... What we are going to rebel now is the woman who has become emperors, okay?

Of course, he didn't want to bring Erxiang Wuying and the others, and he essentially didn't want something to happen to them. After all, they all died in this series of wars in the book. Although he once transferred some of his blessings to them according to Master Xuanzang's words, he really knew how effective that thing could have.

Lin Shuxiang pondered for a while and said, "It's actually good."

Yang Moxiang and others looked at her, and Lin Shuxiang said, "Wu Qisi was leading a 100,000 army to encircle and suppress Xiaoyingshan. If Xiaoyingshan wins this battle, he will inevitably advance to Luoyang. By then, this Lingzhou City will also be a place that both sides must compete for. We are waiting for the young master here, or making contributions to the young master, which is unknown."

Well……

Tang Xiaofeng did not think so far, nor did he know that Lingzhou is a strategic location that both sides must compete for.

In his past consciousness, wouldn’t it be better to kill Luoyang from Xiaoyingshan and go around Helan Mountain and go straight to him? But he never thought that siege the city and robbery was not as simple as taking a sword and jumping around. Although Lingzhou is not on the straight line between Xiaoyingshan and Luoyang, it is backed by Helan Mountain and the terrain is dangerous. The Wu family is here to occupy a soldier, so Xu Chengzhi must wipe out the soldier so that he dares to enter Luoyang with confidence.

He began to wonder whether he would take them to another place? Lin Shuxiang smiled and pushed him away.

Tang Xiaofeng was helpless and was about to take Yan Zixiao and Wei Ziying away, but Lian Jinfeng couldn't bear to leave him and insisted on following him. Wu Qisibing entered Xiaoying Mountain, so Tang Xiaofeng naturally didn't want to take her to the battlefield. He smiled and said, "A beauty like you ran to that kind of place, everyone saw you, who still has the heart to fight?"

Lian Jinfeng pursed his lips and had no choice but to agree to stay, but then flipped his hand and said, "Brother Xiaofeng, I'll give this to you."

Tang Xiaofeng looked at the red pill in her hand and asked, "What is this?"

"Dingyan Pill," said Lian Jinfeng, "I originally wanted to refine another life-extending golden incense pill for Brother Xiaofeng, but unfortunately there are a few medicinal herbs that I can't find. This Dingyan Pill is a strange medicine that I have refined in the months I spent in the East China Sea. After taking it, I can change it to someone else's appearance according to my own ideas. Although it can only last for seven days, if it is used at a critical moment, it can save life. But Brother Xiaofeng, you have to save it. It is just like the life-extending golden incense pill. After this one is used up, it will be gone."

Tang Xiaofeng naturally knew how difficult it was to find the medicinal materials needed for this kind of elixir. On that day in the East China Sea, if he hadn't brought the life-extending Jinxiang Pills, he would not have been able to capture Ai Cuifang. If he could, of course, he hoped that such elixirs would be everywhere in the ground. He would bring a few of them with him if he had something to do, but how could there be so many good things in the world?

Having said that, the girl Jinfeng was able to refine this kind of elixir that made people change their appearance, which really made him look at him with admiration. He couldn't help but praise him a few words, and the girl was happy.

Putting down Dingyan Dan, Tang Xiaofeng took Yan, and the two women Wei radiated their bodies and turned into three sword lights to disappear into the sky...

Although the name of Xiaoyingshan is a small character, it is actually quite large.

The surrounding villages were covered with mountains, and Tang Xiaofeng and his two daughters landed at the foot of the mountain. Someone had already reported to the top of the mountain, but after a while, Xu Chengzhi led the generals down the mountain to greet him.

When he was in the East China Sea, Tang Xiaofeng had no good feelings for Xu Chengzhi. However, now, although Xu Chengzhi has begun to become famous all over the world and is vaguely a loyal man in the world, he has taken such importance to himself, which makes Tang Xiaofeng feel "flattered". After all, although there are few swordsmen, they are not as few as only ten or eight in the world. He can't figure out why Xu Chengzhi not only sent Bian Bi and Luo Chengzhi to invite him, but now he is giving him enough face.

Although Xu Chengzhi was only in his twenties, he looked at his hair and had a mature young man. He didn't know how many vicissitudes he had experienced these days. When he saw Tang Xiaofeng, the first thing he did was to pay his respects first and apologize for his holiday between Donghai and Tang Xiaofeng, which made Tang Xiaofeng have to return.

The two of them bowed back and forth, and then they had a happy relationship with each other. Xu Chengzhi held his hand and led him up the mountain, making Tang Xiaofeng complain about "men and men are even more unfriendly." However, he also knew that this was an attitude, just like King Wen led a horse for Jiang Shang and Liu Bei took Zhuge into the city.

The soldiers on both sides had a huge battle formation and a neat line.

Although Tang Xiaofeng had seen two armies fighting in the East China Sea, the East China Sea, where one city is a country, is not comparable to the Celestial Empire? At first glance, it was dancing with swords and flags everywhere, and there were thousands of British tricks introduced by Xu Chengzhi from the East China Sea. The British tricks were all riding with warriors holding long swords.

When they arrived at the top of the mountain, many people were waiting there. In addition to the heroes from all walks of life, they also saw Yan Yong and Bian Bi. Yan Yong saved Tang Xiaofeng and Yan Zixiao three or four years ago. Naturally, they couldn't help but thank him.

Xu Chengzhi was about to continue introducing others, but a young man stepped out and looked at Yan Zixiao and said, "Sister."

Yan Zixiao looked closely. Although she hadn't seen each other for several years, she was a brother and sister after all. She quickly recognized her and was surprised and happy: "Brother?!"

It turns out that this person is Yan Ya?

When Tang Xiaofeng saw this young man with a burly figure and rebellious figure, he recognized Yan Zixiao and his sister, but when he looked at him, he looked contemptuous. He couldn't help but think about why you were so arrogant?

Yan Zixiao and his sister met, but they were happy, but they did not notice the hostility between their brother and their lover, and waved, "Xiaofeng, come here."

Tang Xiaofeng had no choice but to come forward, and was led by Yan Zixiao to meet Yan Ya. Yan Ya gave a brief greeting and said lightly: "I heard from General Xu that Brother Tang's swordsmanship is excellent. Even the top ten famous bandits in the East China Sea died under the sword of Brother Tang, but I don't know which school of swordsmanship is the swordsmanship of Brother Tang?"

Yan Zixiao was stunned there, but Tang Xiaofeng smiled... Only then did he know why this guy looked down on him so much.

No matter how Tang Xiaofeng innovates now or how the three elements are integrated, his basic swordsmanship is ultimately the Zige swordsmanship hidden by the Yan family. The sword score at the bottom of the well in the backyard of the Yan family does have the words "Not allowed to be circulated". No matter how he explains it, he has indeed learned the Yan family's swordsmanship secretly.

In fact, Yan Ya was not very sure. More than a year ago, he returned home and saw that the village had been destroyed and his grandmother had passed away. When he arrived at the bottom of the well, the other words on the sword score were still left, but the four words "Not allowed to be circulated" had been cut off. So he guessed that his sword technique had been learned secretly. When he left, he destroyed the entire stone wall engraved with the sword score. This is also the reason why Zhu Tehua later entered the well and found that the sword score had been destroyed.

Yan Ya was originally a narrow-minded person. In "Mirror Flowers", after Yan Zixiao followed Tang Guichen into Xianshan, the Yan family's swordsman was not passed on because of his secret, which eventually became lost.

When he left home, he refused to tell his sister where the sword score was, because his sister would get married sooner or later, and he was worried that Zige's sword technique would eventually be learned by other families after she got married. Later, he learned that his sister and a boy became famous in the East China Sea, so he guessed that his sister had found the sword technique, and the boy learned most of the Zige's sword technique secretly hidden by his family.

Although Yan Ya guessed that he was not sure after all, he didn't know what he thought when he saw his sister in a daze. He looked even more contemptuous when he looked at Tang Xiaofeng.

Tang Xiaofeng is also a shameless person. He has learned Zi Ge's swordsmanship anyway, and Sister Zi Xiao has also hooked up. As for your brother-in-law, you will do whatever you like. It would be better that you break off your relationship with Sister Zi Xiao directly, so that I will not be upset when I see you in the future.

So Yan Ya sneered at him, but he smiled at Yan Ya. People who didn't know the inside story saw it, but they felt that Yan Ya was narrow-minded and Tang Xiaofeng had a lot of adults.

Of course, what Tang Xiaofeng didn't know was that Yan Ya hated him, which was not only related to his secret learning of Zige swordsmanship. Yan Ya himself was also a swordsman. In recent years, he has become quite famous in the mainland of China. Xu Chengzhi was also very courteous to him when he joined Xu Chengzhi's command. However, Tang Xiaofeng is far younger than him, and the treatment he received at this moment was far better than him, which naturally made him quite dissatisfied.

In fact, not only Yan Ya, but others here also have the same idea.

Even if Tang Xiaofeng is the son of Tang Ao Tang Tanhua, Xu Jingye's brother, and even if Tang Xiaofeng is somewhat famous in the East China Sea, there are more people here who are better than him and more famous than him. After all, the Tang family is not a famous family, and the East China Sea is just a place where the world is transformed. Although the Shi Zhongtian, Taohuaniang, Ao Sa and others killed by Tang Xiaofeng are famous in the East China Sea, few people have even heard of their names here.

Everyone really couldn't understand why Xu Chengzhi attached so much importance to this young man who was only fourteen or fifteen years old and had a smile on his face. Not only did Luo Chengzhi take the Zhang family ten tigers, the Zai sisters and the fourteen horses to welcome him, but now he was even more happy when he heard that he was coming and threw him down and wanted to take the bride down the mountain.

Xu Chengzhi did not explain, and directly held a banquet and invited the generals to welcome Tang Xiaofeng, Yan Zixiao and Wei Ziying...
