Chapter 7 Super Assassin (Part 2)—Luoyang, the God Capital (Part 1)
Longying was speechless.
Princess Taiping said slowly: "The female assassin came suddenly, and the time and place were precise. There must be a traitor providing information. Only those who are familiar with the situation will know that you are a key figure."
Long Ying nodded and said: "It should be so."
Princess Taiping said: "Our march this time has been kept secret. There are less than a hundred experts accompanying us. We only met General Qiu's three thousand fine cavalry when we arrived in Yangzhou. We did not enter counties along the way and marched day and night. Not many people in Luoyang knew about this. Well, if the news leaks out now, it will surely cause a commotion. According to the Holy Spirit's consistent style, many people will suffer or be implicated this time. My heart is indeed as heavy as lead, but it is not for you, a damn brat."
Long Ying was very bored after hearing this, and when he saw her expression as if she was about to bite her silver teeth when she scolded the brat, he closed his eyes and said, "I'm very tired. Princess, you don't have to waste your precious time on this." It's on my damn little brat."
Princess Taiping chuckled and said: "You have the guts! Dare to get angry with me. Okay! Maybe I will meet you once when I am free and bored."
Long Ying was tortured to pieces by her sudden coldness and heat. When he opened his eyes, he saw her departing back. He was shocked to realize that she was dressed like a lady, with a wide skirt and big sleeves, and a leather belt around her waist, which stretched out her slender waist. , compared with the elegant clothes Long Ying was used to seeing her in, she had a different charm.
The shiny black hair was tied back to the top of the head, and the phoenix hairpin was gathered, revealing the slender and graceful jade necklace, which made Long Ying even more enchanted.
Suddenly, all his resentment disappeared.
He couldn't help shouting: "One day, I will teach the princess to shed tears of love for her little brother."
Princess Taiping didn't look back and said with a sweet smile: "Okay! Let's wait and see!"
Went out.
The fat father-in-law came to the bedside and asked: "I haven't seen that girl from Taiping look so happy and cute for a long time. What tricks did you use on her?"
Long Ying was surprised and said: "Happy? She should be angry and elongated."
The fat father-in-law shook his head, which was resting on his fat neck like a winter melon, and sat on the edge of the bed and said, "What happened? You definitely died at that time."
Long Ying asked with lingering fear: "Does anyone else know?"
The fat father-in-law said fairly: "Fortunately, I covered up for you. I also tried my best to inject the air into your body, but it bounced back and was almost injured, so I didn't dare to make a mistake. The only thing I could do was to slap your cheek and call your name."
Long Ying said: "How long will it take for you to die?"
The fat father-in-law replied: "It takes about six to seven breaths."
Long Ying recalled: "The feeling at the time was very scary, like a huge force trying to pull me away. I struggled desperately, and suddenly the pain was terrible, but I clearly came back to life, and then passed out until today. The coma was not real. The coma is just combined with a certain power that is mysterious and mysterious beyond the world. There is no difference between the beginning and the end. This is exactly the situation of the fifth chapter of demon cultivation and the seventh chapter of raising demons. The defeat is transformed into Creation comes only after conquest and destruction, and awakening from a dead sleep. The person who wrote about the inner demon must have experienced all this, otherwise how would he know?"
The fat father-in-law said fairly: "Looking at it this way, you have reached the seventh level of the devil. Very good! Really good."
Long Ying asked: "My father-in-law once said that I must practice to the ninth level of 'becoming a demon' before I can have the capital to deal with Wu Zhao. What is the basis for it? How do you know?"
The fat father-in-law looked nostalgic for the past and said slowly: "I entered the palace at the age of sixteen. I heard from my master Wei Lianxiang about the cultivation of demons in the Taoist heart, because when he was young, he had to ask Yutian for advice. Xiang Yutian told him personally. , has reached the stage of becoming a demon. At that time, Xiang Yutian was invincible. Anyone who could perform three or five moves under him was already at the level of being able to dominate one side. Although Wu Zhao said that he had combined the strengths of all the saint sects, he was afraid that he had not yet I have surpassed Xiang Yutian, so I have those words."
Long Ying said with satisfaction: "I have endured all the hardest ones. The eighth level of enchantment is the longest and most exciting and interesting. It is to fight with people to make the devil show its full potential, and the devil's heart and mind are both. Water and milk blend together, gods and spirits converge, and the changes are endless. Humans are no longer humans, and demons are not demons, but...but something indescribable. Ha!"
The fat father-in-law smiled and said: "As long as you show the evil emperor's big horizontal plaque, I guarantee that you will have fun day and night."
Long Ying said distressedly: "I don't want to be the evil emperor."
The fat father-in-law said fairly: "I've trained you halfway through the demon cultivation, do you still have any choice? Who can change what is destined to be fate?"
Long Ying remembered something and asked, "Why did my father-in-law hide it from the female assassin?"
The fat father-in-law smiled and said, "Because I guessed who she is."
Long Ying was shocked and said: "Who is she? I never thought that there is a master as powerful as her in the world."
The fat father-in-law said solemnly: "The Immortal Seal is certainly extraordinary."
Long Ying said: "The seal of immortality?"
The fat father-in-law's eyes shone with admiration, and he said leisurely and fascinated: "The strange skill of the Immortal Seal was rampant in the world during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. No one can control it. The number one master of my holy sect is the 'evil king' of both Huajian Butian sect. 'Shi Zhixuan was created to think about the battle of Wulu Temple in Xijing. Li Yuan, the founder of the Tang Dynasty, personally led the army. All the masters came out and gathered a crowd to besiege Shi Zhixuan who was trapped in the abbot's room, but he still managed to escape calmly. Tell me about it. , whoever was guarding you that night was merciful if you didn’t kill all the girls in the flower room. Hey! But if my father-in-law was willing to go all out, she might not be able to escape so easily. "
Long Ying was stunned and said: "Huajian Sect? Isn't the Huajian Sect the last generation since the passing of the 'Sentimental Young Master' Hou Xibai? Moreover, the Huajian Sect has always only accepted male disciples, how could it suddenly produce a woman?"
The fat father-in-law smiled bitterly and said: "I am full of doubts like you, but the Huajian envoy's seal of immortality is absolutely true. Her assassination operation is clearly aimed at Wu Zhao. If you kill you, Wu Zhao will never be able to gain a demon. Let’s not talk about how she can accurately grasp your effect on Wu Zhao, how can she and Wu Zhao have any hatred?"
Long Ying said: "Huajiannu should know the effect of the demon on Wu Zhao."
The fat father-in-law pondered: "It should be so. If she knew that you were not dead, she would definitely assassinate you twice before you silently recorded the secret scroll. Then didn't you have the opportunity to ask her? I didn't expect that apart from you and me, Saint There are still fish that have slipped through the net, and for such a powerful master, he is still capable of fighting against Wu Zhao."
Long Ying said in shock: "Just a fight?"
The fat father-in-law sighed: "Do you know who is the person who single-handedly cultivated Wu Zhao? Not only did Wu Zhao practice the Heavenly Demon Kung Fu of my Yingui sect to its peak, he also obtained the secret scrolls of each sect of the Demon Sect, so he was able to gather Each family has its own strengths. Alas! Let’s talk about these things later. I shouldn’t delay for too long and make Princess Taiping suspicious.”
Long Ying said with unfinished meaning: "Unless she dares to go to the palace to assassinate Wu Zhao, there is no need to worry about her."
The fat father-in-law smiled strangely and said, "You are totally wrong if you think so."
Before Long Ying had a chance to ask what was going on, there was a knock on the door, and the maidservant shouted loudly from outside: "Your father-in-law, the princess has an order to wash and change clothes for Lord Ying."
The fat father-in-law patted him and left the room.
"The imperial residence is towering between Qingluo,
A generation of queens have settled in the city."
Luoyang was founded in the first year of Daye in the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Taizong Li Shimin came to the throne. He understood Luoyang's strategically superior position and ordered people to build the city of Luoyang. When Wu Zhao took the back seat, he encouraged Emperor Gaozong to change Luoyang into the eastern capital and started construction at the same time.
Luoyang's huge project built on the original facilities and built palaces on the mountains. The Shangyang Palace built along the Luoshui River was even more luxurious and outstanding for a while.
Since the first year of Yongchun, Gaozong and Wu Zhao have actually moved their capital to Luoyang and will not return to Chang'an. Wu Zhao deliberately planned to move the capital to Luoyang, in addition to political considerations, there were also practical needs, all for the purpose of ascending to the throne of the emperor.
The throne paved the way.
From a political point of view, only by leaving Chang'an can we get rid of and dilute the deep-rooted memories and feelings of the officials and people towards the Li and Tang dynasties, which is conducive to changing dynasties and establishing a new regime and new order.
From a practical point of view, due to the substantial increase in the population of Chang'an, the Guanzhong area with limited farming area has long been unable to cope with it, leading to years of famine. On the contrary, "three rivers and four fortresses are connected by land and water, why not long dream of Luoyang", the Eastern Capital, connecting the Yangtze River and Qiantang in China
, the five major water systems of the Huaihe River, the Yellow River, and the Haihe River, and with the convenience of water transportation through the Grand Canal, are rich in products, which can fundamentally solve the food problem.
Just looking at this two-bird-with-a-stone, and the simple strategy of moving eastward, we can see Wu Zhao's brilliance. More than a year before Long Ying was escorted to Luoyang, all the conditions for Wu Zhao to ascend to the throne were mature, and ministers who dared to oppose were not punished.
The family was exterminated, which meant being exiled to other places. The clan of the Tang Dynasty only killed two sons, Li Xian and Li Dan. So Wu Zhao came to Dabao amidst the long live shouts of "God's instructions" and "obey everyone's opinions". From then on, the Tang Dynasty
Replaced by the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wu Zhao called himself the "Holy God Emperor".
From Mei Niang, Cai Ren, Zhao Yi, Queen, Queen of Heaven, Holy Mother God Emperor to Holy God Emperor, she has gone through more than thirty years of fierce struggles inside and outside the court. Today, no one dares to challenge her authority.
In terms of martial arts, she defeated the two sects of the Demon Sect, the Six Paths, which had been wreaking havoc for hundreds of years in the early Tang Dynasty. She won the admiration of the righteous martial arts in the world. For her personally, she had collected all the classics of the Demon Sect, and she had never completed it.
It is possible for people in the Demon Sect to unify the path of magic. Her achievements are unprecedented.
Long Ying was caught and captured, so she had to offer her "Tao Heart Seed Demon" to realize her long-cherished wish to unify the demon sect and at the same time bring her authority to its peak.
Therefore, the moment when Long Ying landed on the land bank in the north of Tianjin Bridge was of profound significance to her. Of course, there were reasons behind Long Ying that Princess Taiping and the Fat Eunuch could not figure out.
There is no doubt that she attaches great importance to Dragon Eagle, so she sent General Li Duozuo, the leader of the Miyagi Guards, and two hundred elite men to receive Dragon Eagle from Princess Taiping and escort them to the palace.
Luoyang, which was named the divine capital, is divided into north and south parts with the Luo River as the boundary. The northwest of the capital is where the palace city is located, and other streets, squares, and cities are evenly distributed in the south and northeast of the city. Luonan, where civilians live, has ninety
Six lanes, thirty lanes in Luobei. A major feature of Luoyang is the criss-crossing rivers. Luoshui runs through the city and connects other large and small rivers such as Yishui, Caoqu, Huangdaoqu, etc., so water transportation is convenient. Land transportation is also planned
It is neatly arranged, with ten main streets running vertically and horizontally. The main road is a hundred paces wide, and the side streets are thirty paces wide. {Piaotian Literature www.ptwxz.com thanks all book friends for their support, your support is our biggest motivation}
