In Qinzheng Hall, Empress Dowager Tangyuan looked at the orchid bow hairpin in her hand, and her delicate little face was filled with tears...

Xiaohonglou, the commander of Changlefang. This institution was formed by the former emperor Shangguan Zi, which is equivalent to the emperor's confidant cabinet. It is under the jurisdiction of the emperor. They are specially designed to solve the problems of the emperor and swear to be loyal to the current emperor.

Now, the bad news of Xiaohonglou's death in battle was spread to the Northern Tang Palace three days later...

The third lady held the hairpin that he was still holding tightly when she was dying, and couldn't help crying loudly: "Jiu Master, Brother Honglou... In this life, Tangyuan owes you, I hope that the next life... we will meet earlier!"

I remember the first time I met Xiaohonglou, I secretly sneaked into his carriage and went to Jingwu City together.

At that time, the handsome and cold smile at the Honglou Red House was more humble than enthusiastic. Their intensive contact...well, it was only in Jingwu City that time.

...The third lady was sick, Xiaohonglou hugged her back to Xiguan Inn. Alas, when I remembered that Shangguan Yun was jealous and made trouble for no reason... The third lady felt very embarrassed.

Times have changed, but that incident has been unforgettable for the third lady...

The third lady at that time was Shangguan Yun's crown princess. They were assassinated by the enemy in the post that day.

When the cold arrow shot... Xiaohonglou rushed up without hesitation, snatched her from Shangguan Yun's arms and quickly took her away.

Afterwards, Shangguan Yun laughed at Honglou with jealousy and asked him to vent his hatred many times.

However, Xiaohonglou, who is low-key and brave, did not respond positively to the slightest displeasure. Over the years, he has been silently protecting Miss Tang San as his elder brother.

Later, Fei Yunxiao ascended the throne, and he went through fire and water for the emperor, never hesitating until today, he sacrificed his life.

"Brother Honglou... you made Tangyuan heartbroken... you can't bear to let go!" The third lady walked to the imperial garden. As soon as she walked under the zimuth flower stand, she could no longer help but feel sad in her heart, and lay on the fence and burst into tears.

"Big baby, am I wrong? Woo woo... You left, Honglou left, Xiaowu left too... The people around me who are as close as brothers... You all leave, leave dumplings... What should I do!"

Miss San felt desolate, helpless, and powerless in her heart at this moment... It was so difficult. In the huge Northern Tang Dynasty, Miss San's thin body was really overwhelmed.

Nanzheng, at first she didn't think too much, and she just wanted to avenge her husband. When she took down Daliang, she lost her good brother Xiaowu.

And today, she lost the confidant Xiaohonglou, a rare general who truly protects her.

At this time, the third lady was so heartbroken that her life was worse than death, and even she was completely ruined.

She lay on the flower stand and cried for a while. The late autumn wind blew across her body, and she felt her body and mind cold. A burst of coldness spread throughout her body, and her upper and lower teeth were clattering.

"...Big baby, she's so cold. If you were there... How great would it be, me, I..." Suddenly, her eyes turned dark and she collapsed.

"Oh, how can you live well like this?" At some point, a tall figure appeared beside the third lady. He touched her forehead and his face sternly, "So hot..."

He bent down and picked her up, speeding up his pace toward the Hongxiao Hall in the northeast corner of the Imperial Garden.

...

In the southern border, shortly after Cheng Abao took office as the general of the border guard, Batto, the scout in Yongkang City, immediately sent a message to him who was far away in Daliang after Xiaohonglou.

Cheng Abao's heart was stumbled... Before he set out from Kyoto, the Empress Dowager said to him: "Abao, after you assist in the attack on Muqi, I have an idea... Well, in the future, you and Jiu Ye will be stationed in these two places!"

The Empress Dowager's words are still in her ears, but luck makes people feel bad!

… “Oh, Brother Honglou, you have a good journey! Abao doesn’t know what to do next. Empress Dowager, her heart full of expectations for you may be a big blow now!”

"Empress, minister, what else can I do for you?"

An Liang, the servant beside him, said carefully: "General, the queen mother in the palace, is she such an old lady? If you want to take care of such a big world, you won't feel tired?"

Abao took a sip of the tea he handed over and sighed quietly: "She is still a little girl, with such a thin little body, I don't know... can carry it next... Cough cough, what are you talking nonsense? The Empress Dowager, she will definitely be able to survive!" Cheng Abao poked An Liang's forehead and said with a little worried tone.

In Yongkang City, Fengliu received an imperial edict and temporarily stayed to guard. General Xiao Zhentian and Sha Shuo personally escorted Xiaohonglou's body back to Kyoto.

In the late autumn, the rivers and mountains are majestic and beautiful. On both sides of the road, red maple leaves fall all the way, sprinkling on the carriage where the General of the Red Building was lying, as if he was saying goodbye to him in silence.

后... His black-maned horse kept walking with his coffin, and every time he walked, he roared to the sky. Tears were always hanging on the corners of his eyes...

"Lou'er, your departure is really heartbroken! In the future, you will be so lonely for your teacher. You should take care of Hao Xiaowu there, don't let someone bully you..." Xiao Zhentian held the coffin, his eyes were filled with tears, and he kept muttering.

"Master, get in the car. If you have any spiritual knowledge, you will never bear to be so sad." Xiaotian and Xiao comforted with tears.

Xiao Zhentian held the sword and was sad, glaring at the mountains in the southern border: "I will come again. I believe that the Empress Dowager will not stop here!"

After hearing the old marshal's words, all the soldiers shouted: The Northern Tang army is the best in the world, and they will be invincible in the battle!

The heroic and serene momentum overwhelmed the yellow and heavy rice ears in front of him, which scared the autumn harvest farmers and left their sickles and hoes and ran away.

"Hey, old man, we have no malice, don't be afraid!" Rufeng hurriedly stopped a father and son and persuaded him, but his eyes were as frightened as if they saw ghosts.

"You bandits, who invade my Muqi's enemies, and say they have no malice?...Friends, fellow villagers, let's not run away, fight them!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The old man's son is in his prime, and a large group of men and women roars with his throat. They hold sickles and hoes. Some have fierce eyes, some are timid and trembling, and some are whispering...

Rufeng saw that the people were about to cause trouble, and he was a little panicked... and looked at the marshal with a begging smile.

The old marshal glanced at him, jumped out of the carriage, clasped his fists at the group of villagers and said, "Dear fellow villagers, we are not thieves, please be careful not to be irritated. We are the regular army of Northern Tang, not to harass the villagers!"

"Is that true?...You are so arrogant!"

An old man in a blue short jacket stood up from the crowd and said angrily: "Look at your appearance, you should be a leading general. You have red mouths and white teeth, so you can say something unreasonable? Muqi Kingdom is gone now... ahem..."

The old man scratched his gray hair and choked and said, "The old man doesn't understand. The court's plans and the methods of you high officials are just trying to live a stable life... Since you don't bother the people, the old man doesn't say much, please leave quickly!"

After saying that, the old man in green waved his hand and dozens of villagers dispersed. Shangguan Zheng never said a word from beginning to end, and then he stood up.

"Old man, please stay. Junior Shangguan is polite!" He bowed and bowed deeply to the old man.

"Oh? What's wrong with me?" The old man turned around, looking surprised.

Shangguan Zheng said: "The old man is your surname, can you talk about it? I want to ask you some questions!"

The old man in green looked up and down at Shangguan Zheng and saw that the young man was dressed in extraordinary clothes and was polite. Especially his golden eyes were filled with a warm light.

He immediately said with a happy expression: "Looking at the extraordinary appearance of the young man, he should be a royal relative. Hehe, Old Man Liu is a clumsy person, I wonder if I have any instructions?"

"Grandpa Liu, younger generation Shangguan Zheng, I intend to invite you to my palace to help Xiaozheng. I wonder if Mr. Liu is willing to go?"

Rufeng and others did not react to Shangguan Zheng's words and deeds for a while. They stared at him and Old Man Liu, wondering what this old man has to do with him.

In fact, Shangguan has been studying at Guanshan Academy for ten years and has come into contact with many talented people. His master Qinyin Shanren likes to travel around the countryside for many years.

Just now, he found that the old man had a copper coin mark similar to his master on his arm.

Shangguan Zheng was shocked. This old man was definitely not an ordinary person... Why not invite him into the mansion? Maybe one day he can help Empress Dowager Tangyuan...
