Chapter 21: Changes in the Guardian Mission

ps: The next update will be around half past two in the afternoon, and I will ask for a recommendation ticket at dusk!

----------

The entire post house was used to house the royal family and their guards, and the place where the emperor and empress lived was the main courtyard of the post house, and the side was the residence of the guards of the Qianniu Guard, and the other important ministers of the court could only live in the other courtyards.

Liu Yi followed Zhang Renyuan, Li Xiaoyi, the two Qianniuwei generals and several Zhonglang generals into the main courtyard house, and saw a tired Li Zhi reclining on the soft couch to rest, two palace maids on the side were beating his body for him, Wu Zetian was also sitting on the side, and several accompanying important ministers of the court, Gao Zhizhou, Zhang Da'an, Pei Xingjian, Wei Xuan, and several generals of each guard.

Shangguan Wan'er, who was Wu Zetian's personal female officer, stood behind Wu Zetian, still dressed as a female official in a green coat and winged hat, with a straight body, but Liu Yi saw some tired looks on Shangguan Wan'er's face.

Indeed, after such a big etiquette today, many people can't move when they stand, and they are very tired, even a strong person like Liu Yi feels a little pantothenic acid in their legs after standing for a long time, compared to when they are riding a horse, they can adjust their posture and not feel tired.

Shangguan Wan'er didn't show any expression when she saw Liu Yi, she just glared at him twice, then lowered her eyes and still stood quietly.

Zhang Renyuan took the lead and saluted the emperor and empress, and then reported the situation to the emperor and Gao Zhizhou and Zhang Da'an, who were in charge of the emperor's travel affairs, and asked for the next step of escort arrangements.

In fact, this is a procedural matter, just like a regular meeting, and the reply given by the emperor is also procedural, but as the emperor's personal guard, the Qianniu guards need to do more details.

At the end of the regular meeting, everyone withdrew from the house, and the outside of the house was already under the strict protection of the Yulin Army and the Qianniu Guard, and Li Duozuo, Li Xiaoyi, Zhang Renyuan and others will once again strictly order the guard discipline, and there must be no mistakes.

Today, it is said that Li Xiaoyi, the general of the right Qianniuwei, is responsible for the security of the imperial tent, and most of the sergeants are also subordinate to the right Qianniuwei, and the left Qianniuwei is only more than 30 main guards on duty, and the left and right Qianniuwei are each responsible for the day's guards.

Liu Yi, who said that he was not on duty today, also returned to the house where he lived with other companions and prepared to rest.

How do you know that Liu Yi has not yet taken off his armor, and a person who looks like a eunuch hurriedly ran to his tent and said that it was the legend of the queen of heaven.

Liu Yi was a little surprised, he had just come out of the house where Wu Zetian lived, and he had barely turned around after entering his house, Wu Zetian came to summon him, isn't this a bit of a trick?

Even so, Liu Yi didn't dare to delay, straightened his dress, and followed the eunuch who came to summon him.

Before entering the house, Liu Yi heard the voice of a young woman inside, Liu Yi was stunned, and understood why he was summoned over, and had a headache.

Li Zhi was still reclining on the couch, Wu Zetian was also sitting on the side, Shangguan Wan'er was still standing in place, the only difference was that there was an extra princess Taiping in the room.

"Knock on His Majesty the Emperor, Emperor Niangniang, meet Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Liu Yi stepped forward and saluted.

"Let's get flat!" Wu Zetian's voice sounded.

"Your Majesty Xie..."Before Liu Yi finished thanking her, Princess Taiping had already jumped up from the couch and shouted: "Liu Yi, this palace has already asked my father and mother for an order, let you be in charge of the palace's guards!"

Liu Yi had already guessed this before entering the house, but it was still a little surprising that such words popped out of Princess Taiping's mouth, and this Princess Taiping was also a little too much, so she let herself protect him and didn't come to ask for her opinion.

It's just that Li Zhi and Wu Zetian didn't speak, and Liu Yi didn't dare to do anything, still bowing his head and waiting for orders.

"Liu Yi, along the way, there will be a lot of accidents, you are good, the emperor and the palace have agreed to let you bring some Qianniuwei sergeants to guard Princess Taiping's car, and you will go and select twenty guards to replace Princess Taiping's guards in a while!" Wu Zetian's voice sounded again.

"Obedience!" There was an irresistible majesty in Wu Zetian's order, and Liu Yi responded very mechanically.

It seems that there are a lot of troubles in this line, Wu Zetian asked himself to protect the safety of Princess Taiping, if Princess Taiping doesn't play tricks or make some incomprehensible actions, then it's better, if she always thinks of something to fix people, then the situation is very bad.

You must know that at this speed of travel, it will take at least more than 20 days to drive to Luoyang, and if it takes more than 20 days to suffer, it is too sad, and Liu Yigang's happy psychology when he first set off is completely gone.

"Liu Yi, you will take someone to the outside of the palace to escort in a while," Princess Taiping looked triumphant.

"Yes, obedience!" Liu Yi didn't dare to disobey.

"Taiping, the queen mother promised you, you should also go back and rest!" Wu Zetian said to Princess Taiping.

"Yes, Queen Mother!" Princess Taiping replied with a grin, and made a grimace at Liu Yi.

"Liu Yi, you go down too, don't go out on any errands, otherwise you're the only one who asks!" Wu Zetian's tone was still majestic.

"I must be loyal to my duty!" Liu Yi hurriedly responded. If there is an accident and he wants to cut off his head, Liu Yi will not be so willing to be punished, so he can only flee and fly away.

What kind of honorable Qianniuwei of this grandmother, the whole is the royal envoy, these two women can do whatever they want, and they have no dignity at all.

Just as Liu Yi turned around and was about to withdraw, Wu Zetian spoke again, but this time he said to Shangguan Wan'er, "Wan'er, you go and pass on the will of the palace, so that Zhang Ren is willing to send twenty guards under Liu Yi's command to be responsible for the safety of Princess Taiping!"

"Yes, Queen of Heaven!" Shangguan Wan'er, who had not made a sound, responded, made a salute, and followed Liu Yi out of the house.

After Liu Yi entered the house, during the whole process, Li Zhi, as the emperor, did not say a word, as if he was asleep.

Liu Yi and Shangguan Wan'er walked out of the house one after the other and walked towards the place where Qianniuwei lived.

"Liu Yi," Shangguan Wan'er whispered from behind.

"Humble position, what do you want to do in the lawsuit!" Liu Yi stopped.

"You have to be careful on this journey, don't go on a business trip, otherwise you will be heavily responsible!" Shangguan Wan'er said softly.

"Thank you for the reminder of the lawsuit, I will definitely be conscientious!" Liu Yi replied respectfully, and at the same time looked at Shangguan Wan'er's face who was close by.

Shangguan Wan'er's tired look on her face was gone, her eyes flashed with some brilliance, and she also looked at Liu Yi, "The first few times the royal car went to the Eastern Capital, there were cases of property theft from time to time, even the things brought by Princess Taiping were stolen, and several guards were responsible, this time there can be no more such a situation!"

"I will definitely pay strict attention to my humble duties," Liu Yi was shocked when he heard this, who dared to be so bold and come to the imperial driving team to steal things, and he would die! This must have been done by the thief, but I really thank Shangguan Wan'er for the reminder, otherwise I didn't think about beware of the thief, and I didn't know what went wrong. Princess Taiping's car was behind the emperor's chariot, if such a thing happened, then both Li Zhi and Wu Zetian would be furious, and the first to bear the brunt would definitely be the guards.

"Just now, Princess Taiping named you to be in charge of her guards, the princess's temper... You have to be careful!" Shangguan Wan'er sighed slightly, a little bit of wanting to say something!
