Dachunyang Palace

Chapter 48 The Big Net
The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge. During the day, the sun is scorching, but at night it can be so cold that dripping water turns into ice.

far away, a valley

A domed palace built in the desert is silent here.

Sky blue canopy, white wall tiles, pale colored glaze decorated with gray frame, a piece of pale white slate is paved in front of the palace, reflecting the faint light.

It combines the cornices and tile corners of the northern border of the Central Plains, and also extends the sloping long columns like the southern water town, but its structure is more like a sacred church. The wind, with sand, added a bit of vicissitudes to it.

On the ground, the Holy Fire Pillar was burning fiercely.

A tall, middle-aged man was standing in front of the pillar. The blazing fire was not far from him, only about a foot away, but he didn't seem to feel the temperature of the blazing flame at all, and just looked at the letter in his hand lightly.

some frowns
"Jiutian and we are just using each other to achieve our own goals. Before, Brother Lu thought that giving me more than the regulations for personal reasons was beyond the scope of the transaction. But this time, he even started to share information. ..."

Throwing the letter into the fire, muttering
"Am I overthinking it? Forget it, the truth of this information is temporarily suppressed, recruiting more people, and weaving Mingjiao's own intelligence network is the right way."

……

Imperial Harem
Li Longji, who had just been assassinated, didn't seem too angry at this time. He was slowly playing with two small jade beads in his hands, and he seemed quite comfortable listening to the concubine playing and singing for him.

But the woman playing the pipa was sweating profusely, and her slender and delicate hands were covered with beads of sweat, but she didn't dare to move at all, she just quietly played the pipa, trying her best not to make mistakes.

'Zheng'

Afraid of what to come.

The strings soaked in sweat seemed to be overwhelmed, and they broke immediately after being played lightly. The tight strings hurt the woman's hand, leaving a trace of blood, but the woman completely ignored the beautiful little hand. He immediately knelt down and bowed to the ground, a little bit of blood fell on the white carpet, staining the soft fur a little red.

Li Longji's reaction was not big, but he seemed to wake up from a dream. He opened his eyes quietly and stared straight ahead, as if he wanted to see through something.

Seeing the emperor's appearance, the concubine was even more frightened, kneeling tremblingly on the ground, not daring to move.

Finally recovering from the sluggishness, Li Longji stood up, walked slowly to the side of the concubine who was shaking more and more, and gently stroked the hand dripping with blood, his voice was a little hoarse
"Does it hurt?"

The concubine stopped trembling as if she had heard something inconceivable, and looked down at the generous palm stroking her little hand in a daze, with sparkles flashing in her eyes.

"Concubine, it doesn't hurt."

This sentence almost popped out between the teeth, and the voice was a little trembling.

The stroking movement gradually slowed down, Li Longji stood up and said softly
"Come on."

A little eunuch emerged from some shadow
"The minister is here."

"Take her down and wrap your hands."

"Yes."

The little eunuch didn't seem to have much fear, although his voice was a bit shrill, but the cold tone could not be concealed no matter what.

"Your Majesty, do you have any other orders?"

Li Longji looked at the woman under his feet, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was still asleep.

"Stand dead."

"Yes."

When the woman heard this, she raised her head in a daze, her eyes seemed to be frozen in the crystal just now, she understood something from the bottom of her heart, and suddenly smiled miserably.

Without making any sound, the woman was taken down, and Li Longji sat back on his dragon chair again, continuing to play with the little jade ball.

Except for the blood on the fur on the ground, there was nothing to witness the incident, as if the woman had never appeared.

In my heart, there was no fluctuation at all.

This is already the No. 14 woman who was killed by the rod tonight, but most of the people who were killed by the rod before were court ladies, this time the status of the people who were killed by the rod was raised to concubine.

"The higher you climb, the worse you will fall. I hope you can let the world remember this truth."

As if something had been decided, Li Longji continued to speak

"Come here."

"Yes."

Still just the little eunuch
"Record purpose."

"The pen and ink are complete."

After thinking about it for a while, he said casually.
"Xuan Mingjiao met and treated each other with the courtesy of the state religion, and then built a Mingjiao resident in the northern city of Chang'an, named...Da Guangming Temple."

"Yes."

……

Huashan, Chunyang Palace
There was another loud noise in the Laojun Palace on the east side. The true energy was blocked by the new restrictions in the palace, and the air fluctuations were minimal.

Shangguan Boyu looked at the little gourd in his hand, a smile appeared on his usually stiff face, and seeing no one around, his tone became much lighter.

"Well, [Opening Realm Pill], it can be regarded as refined!"

"That silly girl Yuyuan is really, she's in her 20s and she's still acting like a child. I've already told you about the main medicine of this pill. I still have a plant here, so I have to pick one myself. Really... It's a bit strange."

It was a little bitter on the face when I said it.

After all, I am still her uncle, but I am very happy to watch her progress little by little, and I can help her a lot!
Looking at the [Opening Realm Pill] in his hand, he still murmured to himself: "Pillion, elixir, tell me, can I make a elixir that makes others fall in love with me?"

"Yes! Aren't the [I Love a Chai] and [Dali Zhuangyang Pills] under the mountain the same!"

A child's voice sounded, but Shangguan Boyu was frightened by the sound, and his handsome face turned red with embarrassment. When he turned around, he saw that it was the little Ye Jinyan.

Shaking the sleeves of his robe, he inserted the elixir gourd in his lower back, and changed back into the face of the ten thousand-year zombie again, with the word 'serious' written all over his face.

"Ouch~ Uncle, if you have a crush on someone, just tell me straight! You see, a cute kid like me is the most suitable matchmaker. Would you like me to help you date her!"

Xiaodaotong, who had just returned from Chang'an, had a wretched face, a pair of flying eyebrows raised and raised, and two big narrow eyes staring like balls, which were full of the word "gossip".

But Shangguan Boyu didn't respond at all, he stepped on Xiaodaotong's face, and said with a serious face: "You, listen, see, see, more, less."

Just now I was too careless and just glanced at it casually. I didn't notice the little guy who only reached my waist at all, and I felt a little uncomfortable.

Xiaodaotong showed his true skills, opened the [Shenyang Kun Qianyin] and ran away immediately, the afterimage was stepped on, and the real body jumped out dozens of feet.

"I want everyone in Chunyang Palace to know that Uncle Shangguan likes Senior Sister Lin Yuyuan—"

He spoke extremely fast and ran not too slow, but unfortunately he forgot that Shangguan Boyu's level could crush him.

Stretching out his hand to grab it, the true essence condensed and formed, and he grabbed Xiaodaotong's thick robe, and when he caught it, he was beaten hard.

"What did you say?"

"I say.."

'Snapped'

"what?"

"I"

'Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa'

In just a short while, that little butt swelled up again, Xiao Daotong was suffering in his heart, the old otaku who has been single for almost 30 years, why should I mess with him, his hands are so fast...

While hitting Xiaodaotong, Shangguan Boyu seemed to have sensed something suddenly, and looked directly at the door.

His brows were furrowed, and his usually stiff face showed a little panic.
No longer caring about anything, he turned around and turned into nothingness, and moved directly to the gate of Laojun Palace, silently saying in his heart
"This true energy... is Yuyuan?"
