Empress Reborn

At the beginning of the following year, the crown princess Wei Shi gave birth to Lin'er, who was named and re-photographed by the emperor.Chongzhao was the eldest son of the prince and was born with a tiger head and a tiger brain, so he was quite loved by Li Zhi.When the full moon was illuminated again, Li Zhi held him, saw him smiling in his arms, and felt that his headache was a little lighter, and on a whim, he actually made the child the emperor's grandson in front of everyone.

His No. 1 practice throughout the ages shocked the whole hall, and suddenly, Prince Li Xian and concubine Webster hurriedly bowed their heads to thank them.

Li Lingyue glanced at the high platform, and as expected, she saw the corners of her mother's slightly curled lips with a hint of sarcasm.The mother's sarcasm was in contrast to her elder brother's joy. Li Lingyue looked at the Li Xian couple who couldn't hide their joy, and sighed silently: So what if you become the grandson of the emperor?Seventh brother, do you know how miserable his death will be in the future?

He couldn't help but glance at the woman standing beside Empress Wu. Another year had passed, and her Wan'er was still so exquisite.Eyebrows slightly raised, she blinked at Shangguan Wan'er, teased and congratulated her elder brother, then left the son-in-law who was eating by the side, got up and walked out.

Without leading the horse, Li Lingyue walked slowly in the palace. She was waiting for a person. After a while, that person came, and her hand was caught by someone, so she turned her head and looked at her happily, "Wan'er .”

"Ah Yue." Shangguan Wan'er stepped forward, and the two walked side by side.

After a while, the two returned to Shangguan Wan'er's residence.As soon as Fang entered the door, they saw a small figure sitting alone by the window, and when they got closer, they realized that the child's face was stained with tears.

"Ning'er?" Shangguan Wan'er approached and called softly.

Su Muning turned her head, and during the past year of getting along, Shangguan Wan'er has long been her closest person besides Su Muzhen. As soon as she leaned over, she wanted to throw herself into Wan'er's arms and act like a spoiled child, but when she caught a glimpse of Li Lingyue from the corner of her eye, she turned This action stopped abruptly, stood up, and gave a respectful salute, "Princess."

There was still sobs in the voice.Li Lingyue knew why she was sad, but asked without hesitation: "Does Ning'er miss her sister?"

Su Muning didn't expect her to be so direct, so she nodded timidly, "Yeah. My sister hasn't come for a long time, even during the Chinese New Year, I haven't seen her."

"It's really my fault, I shouldn't have sent her to work in a distant place." Li Lingyue whispered softly, she raised her hand to stroke Su Muning's hair, but she found Su Muning dodged a little.This child's seven orifices are exquisite, and I'm afraid he has already thought of something.Sighing secretly in her heart, Li Lingyue took her hand back.

Shangguan Wan'er saw her disciple's awkwardness, and when Li Lingyue withdrew her hand, she stretched out her hand to pull Su Muning into her arms, and said softly, "Ning'er, did you ever teach you to be self-reliant? When you grow up, Mu Zhen also has her own. life, you can't always rely on her."

Su Muning pursed her mouth and said nothing.Since she was a child, she and Su Muzhen depended on each other for life. Su Muzhen was her sky, and her life was very dark after being away from the sky for too long.

Huddled in Shangguan Wan'er's arms and glanced at Li Lingyue, Su Muning was also reflecting on herself.She knew that everything she had right now was given by Li Lingyue. Although food, clothing, housing and transportation were compared to vulgar things by saints, it was indeed impossible to move without them.In this world, nothing is for nothing, except Su Muzhen's care for her.

"Princess." Withdrawing from Shangguan Wan'er's arms, Su Muning bowed deeply to Li Lingyue, sobbing and walked to her room.

Seeing her disciple like this, Shangguan Wan'er felt a little melancholy. She looked at Li Lingyue with a helpless expression, "Where did you send Mu Zhen?"

Li Lingyue approached, whispered two words in Shangguan Wan'er's ear, "Military camp."

The warm breath came, Shangguan Wan'er's white and tender ears turned red, her heartstrings moved slightly, she was happy but couldn't help worrying: since Li Zhi came to power, no woman has ever entered the military camp, but Su Muzhen But she entered, and she had never heard Tianhou mention this matter, so it was Li Lingyue who deliberately did it behind Tianhou's back.Ah Yue did this, maybe she also moved that thought?

Shangguan Wan'er didn't say anything clearly, but only carefully checked that there was no one else outside the door, then she took Li Lingyue to the inner hall and asked carefully, "How did you do it? The people who do this are very strict?"

"Don't worry. Mu Zhen came in as a man." Li Lingyue's eyes were tired, and a trace of guilt rose in her heart, "I told Mr. Pei that Mu Zhen is the grandson of General Su. It is not suitable to live with other people. Others will never find out."

"After all, paper can't cover the fire." Shangguan Wan'er sighed, and said to herself: Ning'er has a very good relationship with Su Muzhen, if she knows that her sister has escaped death, that girl will definitely hate Ah Yue.Looking up at the shame in Li Lingyue's eyes, Shangguan Wan'er sighed again, "I hope Mu Zhen is well and returns with military merit."

The setting sun dyed the sky red, Su Muzhen retracted her spear and found an open space to sit and rest.Raising her hand to wipe off the hot sweat on her forehead, she reached into her bosom and carefully took out the purse hidden inside.There are a few small grasses embroidered on the purse, the grass leaves are attached to each other, and it was made by Su Muning.

Caressing the blades of grass with her callused fingertips, Su Muzhen looked at the purse and said silently: "Ning'er." Can you stand it?It must have been nearly half a year.I don't know how Ning'er is now, whether she has grown taller, and whether she cried during the Chinese New Year.I don't know if I can really go back after three years.

Last month, she went with Pei Xingjian to attack Ashina Chebo's Ten-surnamed Army. Unexpectedly, General Pei passed away due to illness before arriving in Western Turks.Right now the barracks are set up in the middle of the road, waiting for the new general.What kind of person is the new general, and will he discover his identity?Su Muzhen was thinking silently, then suddenly heard a cheer from the camp——

"General Wang is here!"

General Wang is Wang Fangyi, former deputy general of Pei Xingjian, governor of Anxi, and current governor of Tingzhou.Su Muning had never met him before, so she didn't know his nature, so she followed the crowd to meet him.

A middle-aged man with a beard and beard climbed onto the platform and said to the crowd: "The Western Turkic bandits have violated our territory in the Tang Dynasty. Duke Pei's heart is for the people of the country. However, he is old and suffering from old illnesses. .As citizens of the Tang Dynasty, Duke Pei’s former subordinates, we should take it as our duty to destroy the rebels and quell the war, and we have respected Duke Pei’s spirit in heaven!"

"No!" The crowd was passionate, Su Muzhen also echoed with everyone, Pei Xingjian missed the old love, and she was grateful for how much he had mentioned to her, even if it was just for Pei Gong, she should do her best.

It was night, Su Muzhen practiced her spear against the bonfire as usual, the spear pierced straight into the sky, when she turned around, she saw a long sword pointed directly between her eyebrows, she quickly struck it with the spear, and shook the sword away .With her wrist hanging slightly, she was about to stab the enemy with her spear, but she didn't expect that the owner of the sword was Wang Fangyi whom she had just seen in the evening.

"General." Su Muzhen retracted the gun and saluted respectfully.

Wang Fangyi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Although his body is thinner, his momentum is really brave. He is indeed the descendant of General Su."

Su Muzhen bowed her head and said nothing, both Pei Xingjian and the princess knew her identity, and it was no surprise that Wang Fangyi knew.

Wang Fangyi looked at Su Muzhen, only felt that this gentleman's features were too delicate, and he looked more like a woman, remembering what Pei Gong told him, he asked: "Su Qin, has your disease been seen by someone?"

Su Qin is Su Muzhen's pseudonym in the barracks, and as for her illness, she doesn't have any. Unfortunately, in order to lie, she still nodded and replied, "Princess asked someone to look at it for me."

"Princess?" Wang Fangyi looked surprised, he didn't expect Princess Taiping, who is rich in gold, to meet Su Muzhen.

Su Muzhen continued to nod her head, "Yes. I was very lucky to be rescued by the princess when I was poor in the past."

Wang Fangyi had also heard about Li Lingyue's establishment of a philanthropic workshop. Hearing what Su Muzhen said, he felt that the other party had entered the philanthropic workshop to get acquainted with the princess.Thinking that Her Royal Highness, who is pampered and pampered, has such thoughts, it is really the prosperity of the country.He smiled heartily, and said calmly: "Your ambition is everywhere, so it doesn't matter if you have a disease? As long as you have made great military achievements and have a Duke, those little ladies will definitely admire you."

Su Muzhen was embarrassed, she never expected to be admired by little ladies.It's just that General Wang was consoling, and she still wanted to make a statement. She clasped her fists and replied, "Mu Qin must do his best to kill the traitors!"

■

The army marched all the way to the Ili River and met the Western Turkic Ashina Chebo rebels, and the war was about to break out.Wang Fangyi took the lead and rode his horse forward with a roar, where the sword swept, the blood of the enemy was everywhere.The rebels were awed by it, and the morale of the Tang army soared.

Su Muzhen watched with passion, this was her first time on the battlefield, unexpectedly it was just the start of the battle that made her heart shake, her legs clamped on the horse's belly, and she chased after her with a long spear.

The spears are fierce and windy, marching all the way, also beheading several enemy soldiers.Wang Fangyi was in the front, but he also sensed the murderous aura behind him, he couldn't help but glance back, it was indeed Su Muzhen.It's really a tiger father but no dog son.With an appreciative smile on his face, he swung his sword to kill the enemy, and at the same time bewitched the enemy's heart, saying some nonsense about Ashina.Ashina Chebo was originally unpopular because of his narrow-mindedness, but when the Turkic army heard what Wang Fangyi said, their hearts became even more distracted.Wang Fangyi led his soldiers to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but within a short while, the enemy was defeated and fled in complete defeat.

In this battle, the Tang army won a complete victory, which can be described as effortless.But before everyone was triumphant, the nobles of the three surnames were instigated by Ashina Chebo and led an army of [-] to kill them.The combination of the two armies was so fierce that Tang Jun was caught off guard.

Looking at the clamoring rebels, Wang Fangyi frowned, and charged into the enemy camp again, followed by Su Muzhen.Having learned the lesson from last time, the rebels seemed to be more thoughtful. When Wang Fangyi and others rushed over, they called the crossbowmen to bend their bows and shoot random arrows.

Liu Shi had no eyes, and Wang Fangyi was wounded in the arm when he was not paying attention, and blood flowed down the arm.Seeing this, Su Muzhen hurriedly increased her pace.Seeing that the rebels around her were all attacking the general, she hurriedly held the long spears horizontally and hung them sideways.

The sound of whistling wind floated along the long spear, and the momentum was so strong that it knocked the soldiers who were close to the ground to the ground.Seeing this opportunity, Su Muzhen hurriedly said, "General, retreat quickly!"

Wang Fangyi frowned, pulled out his saber from his waist, cut off the cluster of arrows, and charged at the enemy again.

The general's bravery inspired the hearts of the soldiers, and the Tang army shouted loudly, raising their swords and halberds and rushing towards them.Su Muzhen's eyes trembled, her lips twitched, and she followed the general while waving her gun.

The soldiers are brave and the soldiers are united. Even though there are many enemies, the Tang army still won.It was because the battle was fought hard and could not be evacuated immediately. Wang Fangyi stationed his troops in Rehai, preparing to rest for a while, and then go all out to wipe out the remnants.

Su Muzhen became famous in the army as a savior general with a spear alone.The soldiers all said that she could get a jumping skill by doing this, and maybe she could be a high official.Seeing everyone's envious or jealous expressions, Su Muzhen secretly smirked, shook the purse in her hand, and walked out alone.

The desert is windy and cold, and Su Muning is standing at the edge of the camp looking from a distance. She is looking at Chang'an, Chang'an far away in the sky.The battlefield was chaotic, and one could lose one's life if one didn't pay attention. The army's memory was insufficient, and if the fight continued, the war would be even more dangerous. This was indeed more difficult than she had imagined.This battle cannot be delayed and must be resolved quickly.

While she was thinking, she paced back and forth, when suddenly she heard a howl of a wolf, her body trembled suddenly, she looked along the source of the sound, but saw a person standing on a hill not far away.

Is it an enemy spy?Her eyes froze, and Su Muzhen clenched the spear in her hand and ran over quickly. She regretted that she didn't have a bow behind her back, otherwise, if she shot an arrow, she wouldn't have to worry about whether this person would turn around before she came. Run away, after all, there is some distance between the two of them.

But the strange thing is that the man obviously set his eyes on her, but his body didn't move. Instead, he caressed the wolf's body with his hands and watched quietly.

Su Muzhen tensed her heartstrings, this is a bit strange, is there an ambush over there?She looked around, but only heard the wind, but did not see anyone.Mei Feng Yun felt chilly, she boldly walked over with her gun in hand.When he got closer, he could see clearly the appearance of that person, it was actually a woman, and a pretty woman at that.

Brown hair and blue eyes, high nose bridge, long curly hair, slightly raised eyes with a hint of wildness, this is the first time Su Muzhen saw a woman with this appearance, she couldn't help but stare blankly.

"Unexpectedly, there is such a handsome son in Tang Jun." The woman grinned, her smile was more wanton, different from the reservedness of the middle-earth women, Su Muzhen was slightly startled, but she came back to her senses in her next sentence Come on, "I saw you fighting the enemy bravely earlier, and your skills are pretty good. Are you interested in fighting me a few tricks?"

This person came unexpectedly, and he had also watched the battle, so he was probably not a spy and his identity was suspicious.Su Muzhen suppressed the exclamation in her heart, nodded calmly, and said, "Okay."

"Yo, the voice is a bit delicate." The woman narrowed her eyes and patted the wolf's head lightly. She drove the wolf away, and then the long knife came over.

Su Muzhen shot horizontally, facing backhand.Unexpectedly, this woman looks good-looking, and her sword skills are also pretty, but it's a pity that she is a bit vicious.She had the heart to capture the woman, so she was not relentless. After a few rounds, the woman was pinned down by Su Muzhen because of the disparity in strength.

Her knees were on the ground, and the woman was pinned down by the spear, and she had to half kneel on the ground. The defeat seemed to make her unhappy, she turned her head and squinted at Su Muzhen and sneered: "Don't men in the Central Plains pay attention to pity and tenderness? Why are you so cruel?" ?”

Su Muzhen was slightly stunned, the blush on her cheeks was covered by the night, her voice was still very faint, "Who are you?"

The woman didn't speak, but stared at her angrily.

Su Muzhen felt helpless, and wanted to press her to ask, but recalled the girl's previous questioning, so she relaxed a little bit, pinched the girl's wrist, and grabbed her, "Why did you come outside our barracks? But the Western Turks people?"

The woman still didn't answer her, turned her face away, and snorted: "Isn't it said that men in the Central Plains are the most polite, and men and women can't kiss each other, you are still touching me?"

Su Muzhen was stunned, who did she capture?

"Follow me back to the barracks." As she said faintly, she lost her temper to entangle with the woman, and grabbed her and walked down the mountain. When she turned around and took a step, the woman's hand strengthened and held her hand instead. , attached to the lips is a hard bite.

"Ah!" The woman's teeth are fine, just one touch, blood was seen on the back of Su Muzhen's hand.Pain in the back of her hand, her nerves trembled, she let go of her hand at random, and tried to grab it again, but found that the woman was walking very fast, and in just a moment, she was halfway up the mountain.

The woman raised her head to the sky and howled, a few pairs of green eyes flashed from the bushes, Su Muzhen felt cold when she saw it, she knew those green eyes were not humans, but wolves.The thought of chasing the woman was restrained by the pack of wolves, Su Muzhen held the spear and looked at the woman resentfully, "Despicable."

"Soldiers never tire of deceit." The woman frowned and smiled at her.Then, like the pack of wolves, it disappeared into the vast night in an instant.
