When Wu Youji saw Ye Yuan returning, he immediately pulled Ye Yuan and asked.
"Brother Chang, you and..."
Ye Yuan didn't want to satisfy his curiosity, so he turned around and shut him out.
"Second brother, I'm very busy, you can go and play with my second sister-in-law by yourself!"
In broad daylight…
No, Wu Youji suddenly realized how a pure and promising young man could be led astray by a five-year-old brat.
Thinking of this, Wu Youji's whole body felt bad.
"Pfft..."
Just when he was doubting his life, a woman with a gentle face appeared. Although this woman was not the most beautiful woman in the world, her beautiful face became more and more attractive the more he looked at her.
This woman is Wu Youji's wife, the first wife who was not killed by Wu Zetian.
"Husband, since I don't want to be disturbed, don't say anything more."
Wu Youji put down his hand that was about to knock on the door and reluctantly agreed.
"Oh well."
Ye Yuan in the room entered the cultivation state after making sure that everyone outside the room was gone.
The time has come, it's time for him to break through.
He has been suppressing his cultivation for two years, and his foundation has long been solidified and the foundation is stable.
Moreover, his previous realm and experience are still there, making it almost impossible to break through and fail.
Moreover, now that we still have the previous resources in hand, it is even less likely to fail.
He took a Foundation Building Pill, which he had researched before.
In fact, this foundation-building pill has only one effect, which is to provide everything needed for a breakthrough.
Including but not limited to the nutrients needed by the body, pure spiritual power and the aura of heaven and earth.
In short, after taking the Foundation Building Pill, you will not fail due to lack of resources.
There is no doubt that Ye Yuan, who was fully prepared, broke through quickly and the process was smooth.
Moreover, due to the existence of the Foundation Establishment Pill, he did not absorb the spiritual energy from the external and internal worlds, so he did not cause any commotion.
Naturally, others will not know that he has completed the foundation building.
"Ah, I finally have a trump card in my hand!"
Ye Yuan gently turned the Xumi Ring, which was just the right size, and the next moment, it disappeared.
The size is satisfactory and the invisible functions are easy to achieve.
In the days that followed, Ye Yuan often visited Princess Taiping's mansion, showing his close playmate relationship with Wu Ling'er.
He even occasionally stayed at the princess's residence.
Fortunately, Ye Yuan was only a five-year-old child at this time, otherwise all kinds of rumors would not be flying all over the sky.
Ten years of such peaceful days have passed. Of course, these are just Ye Yuan's own peaceful days.
The war between the Zhou Dynasty and the Turks has lasted for more than ten years. Because of the war, the men of the Zhou Dynasty suffered heavy casualties, few people were cultivating the farmland, and grain production was reduced.
As the saying goes: Before the three armies move, food and grass go first.
The amount of food and grass consumed in the war was astonishing, and it had already wiped out the accumulation of two generations of emperors in the Tang Dynasty.
But now everything is over, the war with the Turks is over, peace has arrived, and the whole of Chang'an is plunged into great joy.
Everyone in the Zhou Dynasty, from the Empress Wu Zetian to the common people, rejoiced. For a time, the whole country celebrated.
…
In the first year of Dazu, in the Tai Chi Hall.
The Turkic peace delegation had left, but Wu Zetian's delicate brows were furrowed and she was uneasy.
This peace negotiation went smoothly, the atmosphere was harmonious between the two parties, and an agreement was quickly reached.
However, for some reason, Wu Zetian always had a very bad feeling in her heart.
"Is it too smooth? They agreed to all the conditions so readily?"
"No, the actual meeting and negotiation only took one day, and it was completed after only one conversation. This has never happened before!"
How can there be a peace negotiation that only takes place once?
Moreover, they left in a hurry.
Wu Zetian felt a little worried and immediately greeted her.
"Xiao Qingfang!"
In the shadow behind her, a sinister woman wearing armor suddenly appeared and saluted, saying.
"What is the Holy Father's command?"
"Go quickly to monitor the Turkic peace delegation..."
Before Wu Zetian finished speaking, she heard an urgent cry from far outside the palace.
"Report! Urgent report!"
Wu Zetian knew that something big must have happened, and it was most likely related to the Turkic peace delegation.
She did not continue to give orders and said calmly.
"Xuan."
Soon, a handsome young man walked quickly into the hall.
"What's the urgent matter?"
"Your Majesty, Princess Yiyang was assassinated when she was being moved. Her body was destroyed, and only a jade bracelet can prove her identity."
At this moment, Wu Zetian felt very bad!
Before she could react, she saw Zhang Jianzhi, the boss of Fenggege, rushing over.
"Your Majesty, the message is sent thousands of miles away."
Even as cold as Wu Zetian, her cold heart trembled when she heard the four words "Wanli Chuanyin".
Thousands of miles of sound transmission is an extremely convenient method. It can transmit information in real time across thousands of miles. It is extremely convenient.
However, it is very expensive to use and can only be used once a year for a state's tax, so it cannot be used unless it involves national security.
But now...
Wu Zetian was in a daze for a moment, then came back to her senses and said calmly.
"speak."
"Your Majesty, urgent report from Gannan Road. The Turkic envoy was assassinated in the Gobi ten days ago and the entire army was wiped out."
"What? Then who are we receiving? And why are we only finding out now?"
"Your Majesty, according to the official document, the battlefield was buried by wind and sand. If it hadn't been for the strong wind yesterday, it would have been impossible to discover it."
Wu Zetian tried hard to calm down her excitement, but she felt that everything was a mess.
at this time.
"Report."
The successive blows made Wu Zetian's face turn pale and he said coldly.
"speak."
"Your Majesty, the secret realm of earthen kilns outside the city has been destroyed."
The secret realm of Tuyao is very remote, very small, and has no resources. It is really not worth mentioning and does not matter, but what about the people locked inside?
Wu Zetian asked with a frown.
"Where is the traitor Liu Jin?"
Hu Jinghui answered somewhat uncertainly.
"Your Majesty, the earthen kiln has been burned to a white ground, it is impossible to determine!"
Wu Zetian knew that a conspiracy had shrouded her head.
If she doesn't handle it well, the Zhou Dynasty she founded may be destroyed in one day.
"Jianzhi, what do you think?"
Zhang Jianzhi had already sorted out all the information and had a rough draft at this time, and replied.
"Now, we have internal support and powerful enemies externally. Externally, we should prepare our troops for war. Internally, we should send a smart and capable person to detect the case as soon as possible and save the situation."
"Oh, then who should we send?"
Zhang Jianzhi's cupping of hands.
"In the whole court, only one person can shoulder this important task."
The figure of a certain fat man appeared in Wu Zetian's mind, and he couldn't help but smile and said.
"Just what I want."
…
Outside Princess Taiping's mansion, in a private room of a restaurant not far away.
Two handsome young men were sitting opposite each other, drinking and watching the imperial army enforcing the curfew in the distance.
The breeze blows on my face, and the coolness is very sobering.
"got windy!"
"Yes, after ten years of peaceful life, it's not bad."
Ye Yuan turned to look at the young man opposite and asked.
"By the way, Di Pangpang is coming back. Do you want to get involved?"
"I'd better forget it. My identity is inherently sensitive, and Di Pangpang may not necessarily like it. Besides, the people under me are too weak and can't be exposed now."
Ye Yuan nodded understandingly.
You are right, Di Pangpang is extremely insightful. Even if you pass by him once, he will see many secrets.
Therefore, it is better to have less contact with him.
While thinking, the young man suddenly took action, thrust something into Ye Yuan's hand, and said.
