In the second year of Shangyuan, Yihai, May, midsummer.
Thunder pierced the night sky, and in the blink of an eye it had spanned most of the sky, and the thunder was rolling in.
The light of lightning illuminated a figure, alone and on horseback, urging the horses forward rapidly under the night rain.
[There was thunder and strong wind, black clouds were rolling and raindrops were coming. 】
[Young man, don’t you think you should compose a poem at this time! 】
The knight on the horse suddenly grasped the reins tightly in his hand and "neighed". The tall horse immediately got up and stopped in the middle of the road.
Under the bamboo hat, Li Xuan looked coldly at the reminder words that appeared in the air, and said with a mocking face: "Don't you have any better poems? All the way. If you want to teach me to be a poet, then please show me Something useful."
As if he was irritated, a row of poems suddenly appeared in the mid-air rain curtain three meters in front of Li Xuan.
[The thunder chariot rides on the rain dragon and rises, and the lightning travels in the air like a wild arrow. 】
[The thunder threatens to overthrow three mountains, and the heavy rain brings down hundreds of rivers. 】
"Although I don't read much, I also know that the first line is a poem by Lu You, and the last line is a poem by Hong Yan of the Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, Hong Yan is from Nanchang like me."
"Stitch Monster!"
As if being stimulated by the phrase "stitch monster", the reminder entry in mid-air suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since he returned north from Longhu Mountain with the secret medicine, this reminder word had been appearing in front of him.
He always appears inexplicably and irregularly, and after talking a lot of nonsense, he occasionally comes up with something useful.
Li Xuan always had the feeling that this reminder entry seemed to be testing him and what he was really thinking.
After recovering her thoughts, Li Xuan looked up and saw a faint light flashing at the foot of the mountain in front of her under the night rain.
Wherever the light is, there is naturally a place to rest.
"Drive!" Li Xuan no longer thought about it, and immediately turned the brown horse around, drove off the road, and galloped towards the foot of the mountain where the light was.
The season has just entered midsummer, but God's change of attitude is still so fast that people are caught off guard.
Li Xuan had just stopped in Dengfeng and planned to arrive in Luoyang, the holy capital, tonight, but then he was hit by a sudden downpour.
He himself didn't care, but the box on the side of the horse contained the precious secret medicine for treating wind diseases that he had asked for from Longhu Mountain for Emperor Li Zhi.
If you want to get an official position in the court, you can rely on this bottle of medicine.
Although Li Xuan has taken good care of it, it cannot withstand the continuous rain.
I don’t know whether this medicine is effective or not, but this strange entry suddenly appeared...
Can he really deliver this medicine from Longhu Mountain to the palace?
Don't let the official come when the time comes, and your life will be lost.
It was so urgent, but so fast, the light at the foot of the mountain was already in front of me in a blink of an eye.
A dilapidated ancient temple with its outer wall completely collapsed appeared in the rain.
Before he could take a closer look, Li Xuan rushed in on a tall horse.
Suddenly, scoldings and the sound of swords came from all directions, and the dilapidated ancient temple was actually filled with people.
Li Xuan tightened the reins instantly, "neighing", the big brown horse rose up in an instant, but then sat firmly on the ground.
The speed changed from extremely fast to extremely slow, and suddenly stopped completely.
Under the control of powerful force, the raindrops brought by the horses fell directly on the surrounding stone slabs, making a crackling sound, but in the end they did not spill on the crowd.
"I'm sorry, everyone, please forgive me for being in such a hurry."
Li Xuan jumped off the horse neatly and looked at everyone with a half-smile. The voices of everyone present immediately lowered their voices.
The tall figure of the black knight was oppressive, and his cold eyes seemed to be lingering in his throat.
One hand was still pressed on the saddle, as if a sharp blade was hidden and ready to pounce.
Everyone was in shock and doubt, and couldn't help but take two steps back, their eyes full of vigilance.
Bowing her hands, Li Xuan "politely" apologized while also looking at the current situation in the ancient temple.
The entire ancient temple is quite large. On the east side are two large elm carriages that were driven in.
Several brown-clothed guards were surrounding him, all with straight black swords in their hands.
Surrounded by several guards under the east wall, through the cracks in the crowd, two figures could be vaguely seen sitting on wooden benches warming themselves by the fire.
There were housekeepers and maids taking care of things on both sides. It seemed that they had just arrived.
A pair of quiet, unforgettable eyes suddenly appeared in Li Xuan's field of vision.
There seemed to be stars in those eyes, which made people addicted.
Although there was a trace of curiosity, it was nothing more than curiosity. After noticing that Li Xuan was looking at each other, the owner of the eyes nodded calmly and then turned away.
A strong body suddenly blocked his sight. A guard moved a step to the left and glared at Li Xuan fiercely.
Li Xuan nodded in a daze, then slowly turned around, but the corner of his eye still glanced over there from time to time.
In mid-air, a familiar word appeared again above the head of the girl who gave a frightening glance.
[Liu Jinyu: The prime minister’s granddaughter, smart and sophisticated, calm and pleasant, gentle and gentle, - can be flirtatious]
It turned out to be the granddaughter of the prime minister, but...
It’s just the prime minister’s granddaughter. What does “Ke tease” mean?
Do you want me to tease you now?
Looking at the prime minister's guards all around who stared at him eagerly, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
The Tang Dynasty implemented the system of group prime ministers. The three high-ranking officials of Shangshu, Menxia and Zhongshu were all prime ministers. However, there is currently only one prime minister named Liu, Left Prime Minister Liu Rengui.
Just ten days ago, Prince Li Hong died of illness.
At that time, everyone said that it was planned by the Queen of Heaven.
This is how mother and son can kill each other.
The emperor urgently summoned Liu Rengui, the chief administrator of Jilin Road and Duke of Lecheng County, to the capital of Shendu, where he was appointed Minister Zuopushe to preside over government affairs and balance power.
The power struggle between the DPRK and China has been in full swing for a long time. Is he getting involved now because he thinks he will die soon enough?
Suddenly, the entry on the prime minister's granddaughter's head changed.
[Liu Jinyu: The prime minister’s granddaughter, with a delicate mind and good at government affairs—can be teased (happy chrysanthemum)]
[Delicate mind, good at government affairs]
The last person like this was probably their queen.
The prime minister's granddaughter actually has this ability.
It turns out that the Prime Minister Zuo has always had this granddaughter helping with government affairs. No wonder Liu Jinyu wants to enter the capital now.
Xi Ju Ru Chi, then...
No, what are you doing, recommending a wife to him?
Turning around, Li Xuan looked at the other side of Gu Guan.
Inexplicably, those black eyes were always unforgettable, and his mind had changed.
On the other side, there are also several figures gathered together. A figure wearing a coarse cloth short robe, black cloth short boots, and a black felt hat has a face full of vicissitudes. He is about forty years old and looks like a leader. He faces Li Xuan bowed slightly and forced a smile on her face as a greeting.
Not far away were two carriages, each filled with six or seven large boxes, which seemed to be transporting some goods.
Li Xuan calmly nodded in return. This was a group of business travelers, which looked like ordinary business travelers.
Li Xuanren stood in front of the horse, always blocking the box on the side of the horse.
No one peeked into his box. On one side were the left prime minister's family members with their families, and on the other side were the cautious and fearful business travelers. The latter was more of a threat.
Turning around, there is a stone statue of a god standing in the center of the ancient temple. I wonder if it is due to the passage of time. There are cracks on the statue of the god. The head has also fallen to a small part, the limbs are broken, and it is covered with spider webs. It is impossible to tell what is going on. Which god is it?
Taking off the black hat on his head, the face of the black knight in everyone's eyes was revealed.
The skin on her wrists is fair, her body and arms are slender, her face is like a crown of jade, her sword-shaped eyebrows are starry, her nose is straight and her lips are thin, her eyes are solemn, and the corners of her eyes are sharp, giving people a vague feeling of sharpness.
In an instant, the face of the knight in black attracted the attention of many people, including the prime minister's granddaughter on the other side, who was also looking curiously.
This is a handsome young man who is around seventeen or eighteen years old.
It's just that there is a small black mole under his right lip that is not obvious, which is inexplicably unforgettable.
Li Xuan gently nodded to the surroundings, looking harmless to humans and animals.
With a faint smile on his face, Li Xuan turned back to the horse.
The red-brown horse leaned over affectionately, and Li Xuan patted the horse's mane intimately, then reached into the package and took out a handful of wet incense candles.
Turning around and stepping forward, Li Xuan held up the dilapidated stone tripod in front of the statue of the God of Heaven. With a rub of her right hand, the incense candle in her hand was lit.
He put his left and right hands together in front of his body at the same time, bent his knees and bowed, and made a Taoist ceremony, which he had already made seriously.
Only then did the people around realize that the black robe Li Xuan was wearing was actually a black silk Taoist robe.
On the corner of the black robe, there is a very small Tai Chi cloud pattern embroidered, which is faintly embroidered with gold thread.
There is a peach wood hairpin stuck in the center of the hair on the top of the head. It looks ordinary but is secretly sharp.
"Hiss!" A sound of surprise came from the mouths of the crowd.
Where did such a young and handsome Taoist priest come from?
Carefully holding the tired horse under the statue, Li Xuan stretched out his hand to feed a handful of cooked soybeans, and Li Xuan moved his hands and feet a little.
He walked to a remote corner, picked up a few abandoned railings, and threw them under the statue of the ancient temple.
"Bang!" At the moment of landing, several railings had been completely broken into two pieces.
The guards of the prime minister's family in the distance and the business travelers on the other side all stared at this scene.
The railing did not fall to the ground and break, but was directly broken in half by Li Xuan's hand. His palm strength was astonishing.
Several railings were carefully set up to look like a fire. No one else saw the flint being fired, and the flames were already burning directly on the wooden railings.
Li Xuan turned around and took off the package and the small black box from the horse, then sat by the fire and began to wipe it carefully.
His eyes seemed downcast, but his attention was still on everyone.
The stiffness of the muscles caused by the cold rain was gradually relieved by the warm flame. Li Xuan looked up at the pouring rain outside.
There was such a heavy rain in midsummer. It seems that the Central Plains this summer will not be as dry as in previous years.
The people might be able to live a better life.
Slightly slowing down her breathing, Li Xuan's tired muscles began to relax little by little, and the flow of Qi in her body became smoother and stronger.
"Tap, tap, tap!" The rumble of horse hooves broke through the pouring rain and suddenly galloped in from a distance.
At this moment, everyone in the ancient temple couldn't help but become nervous. Everyone put their hands on their weapons and held them tightly.
The sharp eyebrows on Li Xuan's face were instantly raised, one hand pressed on the jade button on her waist, and she looked out the door in surprise.
There are so many hoofbeats, so many horses, this place is not far from Luoyang, who are these people coming, so many?
