Ten heavens and earth, all living beings, the winner is king!

The former overlord of the North Mountain, the ghost leopard, turned into a cold corpse, and soon the flesh and blood will be eaten by the beasts in the mountain, and the two sharp fangs have become Xiao Yi's trophies, as for the colorful fur covered with grimaces, it should not have appeared in the world, so let it also drift away with the wind!

Killing beasts and collecting fangs has become a hobby for Xiao Yat, and showing his bravery is undoubtedly a way for men to show their love to women, just like a male peacock will show off his beautiful feathers.

Very rudely, he took Princess Haiyan's little hand, spread her delicate fingers, put a leopard fangs into it, and gently closed her fingers, Xiao Yi only said two words: "Send you!" ”

Lingling, the green-clothed maid on the side, looked at the fangs in her princess's hand with envy, and then looked at Xiao Yi with an extremely resentful look, a pair of big watery eyes kept blinking!

Xiao Yi, who was a pure ** silk otaku in the original world, couldn't stand the high-voltage star eyes of women the most, so another panther fang naturally fell into the hands of the little maid in green, and then the resentful eyes turned into affectionate soul eyes!

In order to prevent encountering other fierce beasts again, Xiao Yi escorted their master and servant all the way out of the Beibi Mountains, and when they were separated outside Luoyang City, in the face of the life-saving benefactor, the princess did not take out any treasures as a thank you this time, but just whispered in Xiao Yi's ear: "My name is Haiyan!" ”

Looking at the back that was gradually moving away, Xiao Yi, who seemed to understand something, suddenly shouted: "I will definitely marry you as a wife, that fang is my dowry!" ”

"Huh!" Hearing the little Taoist priest's bold words, Princess Haiyan let out a burst of laughter like a silver bell and replied, "Very good! I accepted the dowry, and I will marry Lingling to you! Then he ran away with the embarrassed green-clothed maid with red ears and red ears.

'Haiyan'! A name that makes Xiao Yi feel clear to his heart, and he can't forget even after experiencing the reincarnation of a hundred lifetimes, "I will definitely marry you!" Definitely! ”

…………………………

In the Imperial Garden, in the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry Barracks, the neat drills are still carried out on time every day, but all the generals and colonels have found that their commander Xiao Yi has gone out more and more frequently, almost every morning to meet the morning glow and walk out of the camp gate, and only return late at dusk, and all day long he looks lost and depressed, as if he has been seduced away by something.

During this time, Xiao Yi traveled all the mountains and rivers in the Beibi Mountains, hoping to see the beautiful woman again, but unfortunately except for scaring the wild beasts in the mountains to scatter and flee for their lives, there was no gain, and the 'Haiyan' seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

The news of the beautiful woman was not obtained, but the will to enter the palace to face the saint came down unexpectedly.

In recent days, Emperor Han Ling's dragon body has suddenly recovered, and Zhang Yang, the general of Anguo and the Taishou of the party, has been specially recruited to enter the palace to face the saint; The day after receiving the order, early in the morning, Xiao Yi dressed up and took a team of the most elite soldiers to the post house in Luoyang City, picked up the proud Zhang Taishou, and escorted him all the way to the palace.

In the South Palace of the Imperial City, in front of the Vermilion Bird Gate, the forbidden army in the West Garden has a post in five steps, a post in ten steps, and a sentry in ten steps, and is heavily guarded; Since Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty left the West Garden of Pleasure, he has been living in the Deyang Hall of the South Palace; According to the Han system, no one was allowed to trespass without an edict, so Xiao Yi had no choice but to take his soldiers to stand outside the Suzaku Gate, and Zhang Yang, the Taishou guard, walked in under the guidance of the eunuchs of the inner court.

Xiao Yi stood outside the palace gate, while carefully observing the terrain around the palace, this is also one of the destinations of his trip, although the current Luoyang City is a harmonious atmosphere on the surface, but secretly it is already turbulent, the forces of all parties are already bowed, the knife is out of the sheath, and a fierce fire may occur at any time; And this palace is the main battlefield that is about to unfold.

Therefore, Xiao Yi's trip is called reconnaissance of the terrain in military terms, and in the black words of bandits, it is "stepping on the plate!" "How wide the street near the Suzaku Gate is, where it is connected, where is the commanding height nearby, where is it suitable for cavalry to charge and kill, where is it suitable for infantry ambushes, where can archers assassinate targets...... all these are within his consideration...... and soon a sketch of the terrain of the palace gate is deeply engraved in Xiao Yi's mind.

When Xiao Yi began to look at the layout of the palace, an ox cart swayed to the Suzaku Gate, pulling the cart was an old lame ox, even the cow hair on his body had fallen off most of it, and there was one less horn, and he walked very slowly, and he really didn't look good at all; Although it was an old ox cart, but on the street in front of the palace, there was not a single gorgeous chariot or horse dared to cross it, not only that, but the forbidden troops on both sides of the royal road where the ox cart passed all bowed and saluted, and their attitude was extremely humble, obviously the object of their salute was not the broken car, but the person sitting in the car.

When the car arrived at the door, before it could stop, a forbidden army colonel came to the front at a trot, first bowed and saluted, and then gently lifted the curtain of the car, shouting: "The three princes of the Han Dynasty and Lord Situ are ordered to enter the palace to face the saint!" ”

Before the voice fell, an old man in his sixties walked out of the car proudly, this person had gray hair, thick eyebrows and wide mouth, long beard fluttering on his chest, wearing a bright red civil official costume, a jade belt around his waist, and a pair of Han official majesty showed vividly; It was not someone else, it was the old man who was playing and drinking with Xiao Yi in the 'Tianji Tower' that day - Situ Wang Yun!

Wang Yun was born in a family of eunuchs, began to serve in public office at the age of nineteen, and was the assassin of Yuzhou in his prime, because he failed in the struggle with Zhang Rang, Wang Yun was forced to go to the official seclusion, and in Zhongping for four years, He Jin re-emerged after taking power, and successively engaged in Zhonglang and Henan Yin; Then he replaced Yang Biao and became Situ and Shang Shuling, a rare loyal minister in the court.

Most of the ministers of the Eastern Han Dynasty like to use the carriage as a car, both mighty and beautiful and fast and convenient, up and down the court, only Situ Wang Yun likes to sit in the ox cart, he often says: "Although the horse is fast, it can only carry one person, although the ox cart is slow, but it can carry a thousand pounds!" ”

Wang Yun, under the service of the little school, was just about to step into the palace gate, and his eyes swept away, and he suddenly saw the team of personal guards standing outside the palace gate, and naturally saw Xiao Yi standing at the head of the team, dressed in military uniform, the two looked at each other, but they were not panicked, as if they had expected to meet like this one day. When acquaintances meet, they have to say hello out of politeness, Xiao Yi is wearing a military uniform, so he beats his chest with his right hand to see him with a military salute; "Yanmen is too guarded, and Sima Xiaoyi, the commander of the army, has seen Master Situ!"

"Huh! I haven't seen you for a few months, Xiao Lang don't come unharmed! Wang Yun smiled peacefully and raised his left hand slightly, which was considered to be a half-salute, although it was just a simple half-rite, but it contained deep meaning, there are only a handful of people in the world who can make Lord Situ raise his hand to return the salute, at least it shows that in Wang Yun's heart, Xiao Yi and him are qualified to talk on an equal footing in a sense.

After Wang Yun entered the palace gate, the guards of the forbidden army at the gate began to guess what the origin of this young officer was, which made the forbidden soldiers who were so valued by Lord Situ of the dynasty and even more intelligent immediately brought tea and entertained them with extra hospitality; Those who realized it later suddenly hung their heads and chests, thinking that they had lost a good opportunity to get on the top.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Yi began to chat with the forbidden guards on duty at the palace gate while drinking tea, because of his approachable attitude, coupled with the intention of the forbidden guards, soon in the intentional chat, a series of valuable information such as the number of forbidden guards, shifts, and equipment were set out by Xiao Yi; These Xiyuan forbidden troops are all composed of children from good families in Luoyang City, most of them are rich second-generation, although they look bright and bright, but they are all good-looking, and they can't help fighting, Xiao Yi secretly estimated that compared with these forbidden armies, at least one can fight five, or even ten.

Just as Xiao Yi was secretly assessing the comparison of the combat effectiveness of the two armies, a sturdy eunuch of the inner court suddenly ran out of it and stood at the gate of the palace and shouted: "In the holy word, Xiao Yi of Xuanyanmen Pass 'Dian Jun Sima' enters the palace to meet him!"

"Minister, Xiao Yizun!" Although he was a little surprised to hear that the emperor wanted to see him, Xiao Yi was not flustered at all, first tidied up his clothes, and then handed over the blades on his body to the guards for safekeeping, "The courtiers of the Han system are not allowed to carry an inch of soldiers when they meet the monarch, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" ’

With a hint of speculation, Xiao Yi followed the eunuch and walked towards the palace; At this time, he began to look at the eunuch who passed the decree, and saw that this person was about thirty years old, and his figure was quite majestic, although he was a eunuch, his face was rarely a little masculine, and his steps were steady and powerful between his movements, and he was obviously a person with martial arts.

Along the way, Xiao Yi didn't say much, but carefully observed the architectural pattern in the palace and the direction of the road; Although I have been in Luoyang City for a while, it is the first time to see the palace of the Han Dynasty so closely; Raise your eyes to see, the pavilions and palaces are stacked on top of each other, and the gold bricks and jade tiles are magnificent; The Han family has two palaces in the north and south, both of which are located in the central area of Luoyang City, the north palace is in the central west area, and the south palace is in the central east area, the two palaces are 7 miles apart, and there is a compound road to communicate; Among them, there are five palaces in the South Palace, namely the Fei Palace, the Chongde Palace, the Zhongde Palace, the Qianqiu Long Live Hall and the Pingshuo Palace; There are four gates outside, which are commensurate with the gods of the four directions, that is, the south is the Suzaku Gate, the north is the Xuanwu Gate, the east is the Canglong Gate, and the west is the White Tiger Gate......

After walking through the long corridors, through countless ornate palaces, and after three strict checks, Xiao Yat was finally ushered into an imperial garden.

In spring, the imperial garden is full of flowers, countless butterflies are dancing among the flowers, and the breath of life is unusually strong here; Emperor Ling of Han, who had been ill for a long time, now especially liked the breath of life; Therefore, he specially summoned Zhang Yang, the Taishou of Shangdang, here, and summoned Situ Wang Yun to discuss matters related to the defense of the Xiongnu invasion.

Although the emperor is the ruler of the whole country, it is often the emperor who knows the least about the country, because the country they can see is only the text description of the courtiers, and the world is abstract to them; In addition to the founding monarchs of all dynasties, how many emperors have really walked out of the palatial palaces to visit and check on their own people?

Therefore, for thousands of years, countless emperors have been fooled by some official articles on paper for a lifetime, and a large number of faint monarchs and mediocre monarchs have also been refined in this way......

Unexpectedly, Emperor Han Ling, who had been confused all his life, suddenly became wise at the last moment of his life, and he wanted to hear the true voice of this empire; So at the suggestion of Situ Wang Yun, there was a summons to Xiao Yi this time.
