As the sun rose, the black unicorn lay lazily on the head of the huge five-clawed golden dragon, and the smaller golden unicorn lay on the head of the black unicorn again, flying towards the west.

"My horse my horse!"

"That was given to me by my good brother..."

The golden dragon flew down again, took the white cloud horse in its mouth, and flew away.

On the clouds:

"...So, that's it." Jin Qilin rubbed his eyes with his paws, didn't sleep all night, was a little sleepy, and yawned.

The golden dragon's horns glowed with a coral-colored glow, enveloping the wife and son lying on the dragon's head. The dragon's eyes slanted upwards, and the voice was like a bell: "Why didn't you say it earlier?!"

As soon as Jin Long spoke, the horse in his mouth almost fell, and he quickly swallowed the poor Bai Yunju inside.

"You went to the world to play, but you can't find anyone." Jin Qilin said wearily.

Hei Qilin said: "This matter is no small matter, we have to inform the leader, what else did Buddhism say?"

Jin Qilin said: "Forgot."

Black Kirin: "..."

"Go to bed first." Jin Long said, "Where are you going?"

Jin Qilin said: "I want to go back to Chang'an."

Jinlong then turned around and headed north, passing through Guanzhong first, and then flew towards Hangu Pass. Qilin asked, "Do you still know the way?"

Jin Long thought for a while and said, "Forget it, just fly casually, I have never flown in Shenzhou before."

Hundreds of years have passed, mountains and rivers have changed, and rivers have changed their course. Only the Yangtze River and the Yellow River have remained the same. Lu Zhongming was so sleepy that he lay limply on the back of the black unicorn, snoring, letting his father take him flying in the sky .

It took nearly a day to fly from Jiangdu to Chang'an. At noon, Lu Bu landed outside Hangu Pass, and let Qilin and Lu Zhongming have dinner first. The family of three just went out for a spring outing in the past. They just found a small shop. After ordering a few dishes, Lu Bu washed the dishes for his son with tea, and Qilin went to see the store's dishes. When they came back, the three of them sat down, and Qilin said, "That watermelon is so delicious, you can grow some in the back mountain when you go back. "

Lu Zhongming: "..."

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Hmm."

Lu Bu thought for a while and said, "Papaya is also good."

Lu Zhongming's tears were about to fall, and he looked at the two fathers helplessly. Qilin found that something was wrong with his son, so he patted Lu Zhongming's head and asked, "Son, what's the matter?"

Lu Zhongming said sadly: "You don't miss me at all!! Finally seeing you again, I want to die! Is your son not as good as a papaya?!"

Lu Bu: "..."

Qilin: "..."

Only then did Lu Bu and Qilin realize that they hadn't seen this troublemaker for a day and a half. For Lu Zhongming, it was almost two years since they parted... Lu Bu hurriedly said, "I thought about it! Little baby! Dad misses you!"

Qilin hurriedly comforted him and said, "Thinking about it, you have been by my side for so many years, and it's really not used to not seeing anyone for a while."

Lu Zhongming was full of depression, Lu Bu carried the kettle again, made tea for Lu Zhongming, Qilin patted Lu Zhongming's head, both of them coaxed, and after a while, Lu Zhongming felt a little balanced.

"I was beaten to death!" Lu Zhongming said.

"It's normal to be beaten up. Father used to be beaten all the time." Lu Bu said, "Now that you know martial arts, you have to study hard?"

Lu Zhongming nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Lu Bu said indifferently: "Father will help you come to revenge, whose restaurant you want to kick, I will serve you even."

Lu Zhongming thought for a while and said, "Forget it, I'll do it myself, I don't need any help."

The shop served the food, and Lu Bu carried the food for Qi Lin and Lu Zhongming, and Qi Lin said again: "I don't know if Wuwei's home is still there."

"I'll take a look when I'm full later." Lu Bu said, "Zhongming, I'll take you to see Father's former home."

"I..." Lu Zhongming recalled that Yu Chigong was still waiting in Chang'an, and now he had finally returned to Hangu Pass. The matter in Chang'an was important, and he didn't know what the situation had become, so he said, "I'm not going to Wuwei, you guys go Well, I have to hurry back to Chang'an. The golden gourd is still with the leader, so I have to ask him to deliver it together."

Lu Bu said casually: "I know, father will write a letter and send it back."

"Not busy." Qilin stopped chewing while eating, tapped his chopsticks on the table, and said, "This matter is not trivial. What you said just now, about the leader, can you say it again?"

"What are you saying?" Lu Zhongming thought for a long time, finally remembered, and said, "Yuanshi Tianzun is dead, and the celestial power of the leader is also fading... Maybe even Laojun..."

Qilin nodded and said, "What do you think the leader will do?"

When Lu Zhongming was reminded like this, he immediately realized that if what Pu Xian said was true, then the decline of the Taoist Golden Immortal was not only because of the limited lifespan, but more importantly, the weakening of all powers.

Lu Bu: "???"

Lu Zhongming: "The leader, do you know?"

Qilin said: "I think he knows, what do you think?"

Lu Zhongming nodded. It is impossible not to know the changes in his body. Even if the leader came to Chutang, so what?Is it possible to fight with the Buddha, and then draw a border between Chu River and Han, and Taoism and Buddha carve up the territory?

Lu Bu: "So what?"

"No matter what, we still have to listen to what the leader wants." Lu Zhongming said.

Qilin nodded and said nothing, Lu Bu frowned and asked, "Is there any difficulty?"

Lu Zhongming: "..."

Qilin said to Lu Bu, "No, let's eat."

Lu Zhongming couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and took the initiative to explain: "Even if the leader is here, it's..."

"Your father is single-threaded." Qilin said: "There is no need to explain this to him."

Lu Bu asked again: "Can it be solved?"

Qilin nodded and said: "It can be solved, the lord can fight, and I will call the lord when the fight starts."

Lu Bu: "Okay." Then he didn't ask any more questions, and gave Lu Zhongming some food, saying, "When you're away from home, the food is not as good as the food at home. If you eat more, you won't be hungry."

Lu Zhongming was also hungry, so he and Lu Bu held a bowl and ate voraciously. Qilin ate and ate, obviously thinking about something.After eating three bowls of rice, Lu Zhongming asked again: "Dad, will we also be like... the leader?"

Qilin looked at Lu Zhongming with a smile in his eyes. Lu Zhongming always felt that his two fathers were omnipotent, and he really couldn't accept that they would become old and weak one day.

"According to the name of the immortal family, we should be regarded as demons." Qilin said: "Anyone who is not a human being but transforms into a human is a demon."

"I am a dragon!" Lu Bu seemed very dissatisfied with this title, and Qilin smiled and said, "Dragon is also a kind of demon, the only difference is that it is stronger than ordinary demons."

Lu Zhongming said: "Monsters are also mortal."

"Of course." Qilin replied, "Are you afraid of death?"

Lu Zhongming thought for a while and said, "Don't be afraid."

"That's it." Qilin replied, and then continued to eat. Lu Bu started to eat the fifth bowl of rice, looked at his son, and asked, "Have you made any good friends in this world?"

It’s okay if I don’t say this, Lu Zhongming became energetic when he said it, and wanted to tell them about Yu Chigong, but he was afraid that Lu Bu would be surprised, so after much deliberation, he decided to test it out first, and said: "Yes! Then you two Come to Chang'an, I will take you to meet a good friend of mine! My name is Yu Chi Gong, a very good friend!"

The corner of Qilin's mouth twitched, observing Lu Zhongming's expression, Lu Zhongming had never introduced any friends to his father, so Lu Bu didn't know about the expression on his face, and asked: "Isn't Yu Chigong the one mentioned in the book?" Wild boar?"

wild boar...

Boar boar boar boar boar...

Lu Zhongming roared in his heart, and said with tears streaming down his face: "He is not a wild boar! You can't say that about him!"

Lu Bu comforted him, "Okay, just a friend?"

"No more." Lu Zhongming said depressedly.

Lu Bu was completely confused and didn't know why his son was suddenly angry. He just felt that Lu Zhongming had only left home for a day, and there seemed to be some kind of estrangement between father and son. He couldn't tell the strangeness for a while, so he could only reply: "Oh .”

After the meal, Qilin wrote a letter, snapped his fingers, and sent the letter to the leader of Tongtian. Lu Bu turned into a dragon again and sent his son outside Chang'an City. Lu Zhongming asked, "What should I do now?"

Qilin observes Chang'an on the ground from the clouds. Unexpectedly, the Buddhist power in Chang'an is not too strong. There are only four large Buddhist temples, and they are all distributed in the east.

"Wait and see what happens." Qilin said, "Don't mess with the Buddhist family until the leader gives the next step."

Lu Zhongming hummed, and asked again: "You will come back."

Lu Bu replied: "Let's go to Wuwei to have a look. That's where my father made his fortune, and Chang'an is the same. I'll be back in a few days. You go back and prepare. Maybe the leader will come too. You have to arrange a place to live."

Lu Zhongming had never been to Chang'an before, so he didn't know what was going on in the city. After landing, he said goodbye to his two fathers and entered Chang'an to prepare. When he entered the city gate, he felt a little unspeakably nervous.

Chang'an has obviously experienced a war, the city wall was burnt gray and black, Lu Zhongming didn't know where to go, stood on the street, looking at the majestic ancient capital in front of him, despite the war, the buildings in the city were still intact, it can be seen that it has never been damaged. There was a huge resistance, or the Tang army did not use strong means to destroy it.

However, the result of doing so can be imagined, that is, there will be a lot of victims.

Lu Zhongming led the drooling Bai Yunju into the city gate, and someone stopped him immediately, shouting: "Who is it? Show your identity! Curfew is coming soon!"

Lu Zhongming gave the waist badge of the Tang Palace to the refugees. At this time, he had no identity credentials. It was easy to withdraw, but he didn't want to make such a big fuss. When he was trying to find a way, he rode by suddenly, and Lu Zhongming immediately yelled joyfully, Follow up.

"Zhongming!" Luo Shixin was patrolling the city. Hearing Lu Zhongming's voice, he immediately got off his horse and came over to pat him and hug him.

When Lu Zhongming saw Luo Shixin, he was indescribably happy, and hugged him tightly. Luo Shixin seemed a little embarrassed, and said, "You boy, have you run so far to Yangzhou, and everything is over?"

Lu Zhongming: "My father is here, but he has gone to Liangzhou now, and I will introduce you to him when he comes back."

Luo Shixin looked at Bai Yunju in amazement, the horse was so messed up, sticky and wet all over, Luo Shixin said again: "It's not raining, what's wrong with the horse?"

The corner of Lu Zhongming's mouth twitched, he got on Luo Shixin's horse, and asked about Chang'an, Luo Shixin answered one by one, since Lu Zhongming and Yu Chigong were sent as envoys, it has been nearly a month, and too many earth-shaking things have happened in this month.

When he first marched into Hedong, Lu Zhongming gave Li Yuan a kit to prevent him from attacking Hedong, so he turned to attack Chang'an. Sure enough, the battle was stalemate for ten days, and fierce disputes broke out within the Tang army.Li Shimin asked to divide his troops, one way to Chang'an, the other way to stay in Hedong, to attract Qu Tutong's attention.

However, this plan was unanimously resisted by Pei Ji, Li Jiancheng and others. The reason was that after the first battle of Duanhe, the Tang army was no longer strong enough to support the siege of Chang'an.

Until Yu Chigong's scouts returned and brought news from Hangu Pass, they advised Li Yuan to abandon Hedong and go straight to Chang'an. Li Yuan dismantled the kit that night, but he still hesitated.So Li Shimin ignored his father's order and led his troops overnight, bypassing Hedong, and went straight to Chang'an City.

Without Li Yuan's order, it is a big taboo to mobilize troops privately. With Li Shimin's intelligence, it is impossible not to know.However, the fighter opportunity is fleeting. Once missed, it will inevitably turn into a tug-of-war that consumes troops when the Guanzhong defenders are encircled.

So Li Shimin took the risk under the five-point chance of winning. Li Yuan was furious, but the deal was done, so he had to send Li Jiancheng to chase after him overnight. The two brothers had a quarrel outside Chang'an City, and were finally persuaded by Chai Shao.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin made a desperate gamble and began to attack Chang'an.

With a force of 2 people, facing a capital city guarded by nearly [-] people is simply an impossible task. However, Li Shimin calmly analyzed that although Chang'an is heavily fortified, there are many accesses and exits. , Since the Qin Dynasty, countless armies have attacked Chang'an, and they all have their own countermeasures, so there is no need to attack hard.

Unexpectedly, Li Jiancheng took Li Yuan's order, fearing that Li Shimin would disobey the order again, so he transferred most of the guards away at once, leaving only two civil servants for Li Shimin: Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng.

That was Li Shimin's most difficult moment. All his bets were on Chang'an. Once he failed to attack, he and Li Jiancheng's army would be alone, wandering outside Chang'an, and sooner or later they would be encircled by the Sui army.However, there are no generals, only Yu Chigong.

"That day?" Lu Zhongming asked.

"Well." Luo Shixin replied: "Shimin is in a terrible situation. The three-day siege was almost defeated. Heitantou's men were all dead. In the last battle, Shimin boosted morale and led us With you Brother Qin, Li Jing, and Zhijie, they went there and captured the Suzaku Gate."

Lu Zhongming recalled that battle, Yu Chigong's description at that time was only two sentences, he was about to win, he could win, but unexpectedly it was so dangerous.There are more than 7000 remaining troops in the attacking city. If all of them are lost outside Chang'an City, the Tang army will be completely finished.

"You said this battle must be won." Luo Shixin said flatly: "Shimin and Heitantou will charge forward recklessly, even we can't stand it anymore."

Lu Zhongming didn't expect that a word he inadvertently became Li Shimin's last bit of faith.

"What about others?" Lu Zhongming asked.

At this moment, Luo Shixin had taken him to the inner city gate, dismounted from his horse, let Lu Zhongming come down, and said: "The king of Tang is here. He is now living in the West Palace, and he is now living in the East Palace. His soldiers and horses are all gone. In the past few days, I have been waiting for you." Discuss with Shubao, what to do next, Shubao said that he is not busy, and will make up his mind after you come back."

Lu Zhongming nodded and asked, "Where's Li Jing?"

"I, Shubao, Li Jing." Luo Shixin led the horse and whispered in Lu Zhongming's ear, "Cheng Zhijie, Xu Shiji, and Heitantou, who came from Wagang to vote, we are together. We are waiting for you to come back now. say."

Lu Zhongming was startled suddenly, and asked again: "Where is Wei Zheng?"

"Him?" Luo Shixin sneered, "I followed Jiancheng as soon as I came back, Fang Xuanling accompanied Shimin, and Changsun Wuji will come over in a few days."

Lu Zhongming immediately understood the meaning of Luo Shixin's words. As soon as he came back, he was instantly involved in the core of the power struggle in the Tang Palace.Although our own side admires Li Shimin more, but Li Yuan is the only one who really makes the decision.

What Li Yuan said was what he said, and if he wanted to control the situation, it had to fall on him.

"Understood." Lu Zhongming said.

He looked at Luo Shixin, the corners of Luo Shixin's mouth curled up slightly, looked down at Lu Zhongming, and smiled at him.

Lu Zhongming couldn't help smiling, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing." Luo Shixin was very gentle once, and said, "You're back, my buddy feels at ease."

"I will not be in danger." Lu Zhongming said seriously.

Qin Qiong said with a smiling voice, "We are the ones who stay here by ourselves and feel uneasy. With you here, Jingde can talk, and Li Jing also listens to you."

"En." Lu Zhongming nodded, and went to hug Qin Qiong. Qin Qiong patted him on the back and said, "Just come back."

The three of them stood in a secluded place in the inner city. Lu Zhongming thought for a while and said, "I'd better not go to see the king of Tang now, nor should I see the people of the world."

Luo Shixin nodded, and Lu Zhongming asked again: "Where do you live?"

Qin Qiong said: "The two of us still live in the barracks. Now I am in command of the inner city army, and Luo Cheng guards the outer city of Chang'an."

"Where's Yuchi?" Lu Zhongming said.

"He has no soldiers." Luo Shixin didn't know whether it was helplessness or amused, and said: "There is only one general left. When Chang'an City was destroyed, he asked the Tang King for a house, which was in Lifang, next to Tie. Court Palace."

Qin Qiong said: "I just came back from the construction site and saw Heitantou sitting on the roof, can you take a look?"

Lu Zhongming nodded and made an appointment with Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin to meet tomorrow, so he took his waist card and went to the main hall.

Just when he was about to leave, Luo Shixin seemed to have something to say, and said from a distance: "Zhongming."

Lu Zhongming: "?"

But Qin Qiong said: "It's nothing important, I'll tell him tomorrow, let's go."

Lu Zhongming just left.

It was late autumn, on the night of October [-]th, a full moon hung in the sky, and the whole city was under curfew. The autumn wind in Chang'an was blowing in, and the breath was fresh. Lu Zhongming jumped to the top of the hall and saw a person sitting on the edge of the eaves. It is Yuchi Gong who is alone.

Yu Chigong lowered his head, stepped on the tile with one foot, and dangling the other foot, he didn't know what he was looking at, and the moonlight was faintly reflected, Lu Zhongming looked at it from a distance, and saw that the object in Yu Chigong's hand was himself of golden scales.

There was an indistinct smile on the corner of Yuchi Gong's mouth, obviously missing Lu Zhongming.

Lu Zhongming watched it amusingly, and felt tenderness in his heart. He quietly set up a sound-proof barrier, stepped on the tiles silently, and stood ten steps away from Yu Chigong's back.

Lu Zhongming responded to the scales with spells, and Yu Chigong's golden scales were tied around his neck with a rope. As soon as it shone, Yuchigong immediately frantically took off the golden scales, but did not let go. First, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He opened his eyes again.

Yu Chigong began to straighten his clothes and hair, and coughed again to make sure that his clothes were in order, then he spread his hands and held the golden scales.

Lu Zhongming never expected that Yu Chigong would make so many little tricks every time before contacting him, he was almost laughed at.

The light screen was unfolded in front of Yu Chigong, and Lu Zhongming was standing in the distance behind Yu Chigong, Yuchigong said solemnly: "How is the progress?"

Lu Zhongming suppressed a smile and replied, "I miss you."

Yuchi Gong asked: "Is the matter over?"

Lu Zhongming said in the light screen: "Soon."

Yu Chigong noticed that Lu Zhongming seemed to be very happy, but for some reason, he asked, "It went well? Seeing that you are very happy."

Lu Zhongming laughed, that smile was very warm, Yu Chigong also laughed, the two of them didn't speak, just looked at each other in the light screen, as if they couldn't see enough.

After a long time, Lu Zhongming asked again: "What are you doing?"

Yuchi Gong said, "I'm thinking of you."

Lu Zhongming: "Where is it?"

Yu Chigong: "On the roof of the West Palace, look at the moon, can you see the moon?"

Lu Zhongming raised his head and looked at the silver thunder in the sky.

The moonlight was bright and clear. On the top of the Chang'an Hall, Lu Zhongming stood tall, and Yu Chigong sat on the edge with his back facing him, forming two silhouettes, one sitting and one standing.

"I see." Lu Zhongming said, "It's the same moon as you."

Yu Chigong's voice was low, but with an irresistible gentleness, he asked, "When will you be back?"

Lu Zhongming smiled and stared at him, Yuchi respectfully said: "King Tang rewarded us with a house, I tidied up and arranged it, you will have a place to live when you come back."

Lu Zhongming said, "Are you busy with business?"

"It's okay." Yuchi Gong said, "I'm resting recently."

"No problem at all." Lu Zhongming asked again: "Why do I always feel that something is wrong with you recently?"

Yu Chigong didn't answer, and after a long time, Fang said: "On the day of the siege, many soldiers under my command sacrificed a lot, but they were all paid and buried."

Lu Zhongming nodded, knowing that Yu Chigong cherished the lives of his subordinates. Everyone died for him and for the Li family. Yu Chigong would feel uncomfortable, but in war, people will inevitably die. Only waiting time to heal.

"What about you?" Lu Zhongming asked.

Yuchi Gong smiled, although regretful, but not depressed, replied: "Don't worry about me, after a while, after the selection of soldiers and horses, I will ask the people of the world to send me some troops."

"It would be great if we didn't have to fight." Lu Zhongming said.

Yu Chigong said: "There will always be a day. I am not afraid of fighting. My biggest wish now is that you can come back to me quickly. Do you remember the night you promised me?"

Lu Zhongming laughed and said, "I remember."

Yu Chigong looked up again and said, "The moon that day was as bright as tonight. Shimin taught me a poem last time. Do you want to listen to it?"

"What poem?" Lu Zhongming asked.

"The moon is shining brightly, and the people are bright..." Yu Chigong said leisurely, patting the wooden rafters on the roof of the hall with one hand.

"The moon rises brightly, the beautiful people shine..." Lu Zhongming walked up the roof with an intoxicating smile, removed the sound-cancelling barrier, merged with the sound in the water mirror, and the tiles made a crisp sound. Yu Chigong turned around suddenly, his eyes were full of unbelievable color!

Lv Zhongming smiled and stood there, Yu Chigong rushed over with his surprise beyond words.

However, Yu Chigong was in a flustered mood and didn't pay attention to his feet. When he strode forward, he slipped and stepped on the tiles. Lu Zhongming said: "Be careful!" Rolling down, Lu Zhongming stretched out his hand to pull, but was also dragged down by Yu Chigong.

Three seconds later, there were two plops, and the two fell into the pool in the garden. A woman's voice inside exclaimed: "Come on!"

"It's me, it's me!" Yu Chigong hugged Lu Zhongming, and emerged from the water. Immediately afterwards, the light in the room was turned on, and Li Shimin said anxiously, "Jingde?! What's wrong? There are assassins?!"

Yu Chigong was about to answer, but Lu Zhongming pressed his lips with his fingers, and Lu Zhongming hissed in his ear, Yu Chigong knew that he didn't want to see Li Shimin at this time, so he said, "It's nothing, I accidentally fell off the roof."

Li Shimin burst into laughter, put on his clothes and came out, but Yu Chigong took Lu Zhongming's hand and ran across the imperial garden.
