I opened the Taoist Temple in Datang

into the night.

In the guest house of the mansion shop, Li Miaozhen slept soundly.

She has always refused to recognize the bed, and after a day of running around, she is also a little tired.Before going to sleep, she drove Luo Gongyuan back, lest she would do something wrong at night.

There are restrictions on the outside of the doors and windows, and ordinary ghosts and ghosts cannot enter at all.

The night was thick, and Chang'an City was sleeping in a deep silence. The scattered lights were like stars scattered on the night.In a daze, Li Miaozhen sat up from the couch and rubbed her eyes.

Her mind was blank, and she couldn't remember who she was and where she was.

The flames lit up the sky outside the sill window, although it was night, it was as bright as day.Noisy footsteps and voices came from outside the hall. It was like hitting a drum with a hammer, and there was a pounding sound in my heart, which made me extremely uneasy.

The door was knocked open with a bang, and the night wind came in. An old woman with white hair rushed in and yelled: "Chong Niang, if you can't afford it, you won't be able to live!"

She was carrying large and small parcels, apparently packed in haste.Li Miaozhen glanced at her, but remembered that this was Xue Cairen who raised her.

"What's wrong?" She was very calm.

Seeing her unhurried appearance, Xue Cairen was very anxious, and grabbed her from the couch: "Come with me!"

Li Miaozhen was grabbed by her hand and pulled out, she didn't resist for some reason, but just observed her surroundings quietly.The palace servants in Anren Hall were in a mess, they were all packing their luggage, their clothes were disheveled, their hair was disheveled, and their eyes were full of fear.

They followed the flow of people to the outside of Anren Hall, and saw that all the palaces were frantically rushing towards the Ganlu Gate.With all his strength, Xue Cairen led her to the gate of Ganlu.

There were a lot of people crowded there, and hundreds of Qianniu Guards stopped there, with serious expressions: "Your Majesty has an order, everyone in Daming Palace, please wait for arrangements!"

How could everyone believe it, they still rushed forward frantically.However, when Qianniuwei killed a few people in public, the chaos calmed down a bit.

Chang Cairen, Princess Xinping's mother, quietly appeared and said to them, "Go through the side door."

Xue Cairen understood and took Li Miaozhen to the side door, where there is a special passage for concubines.Her hair tie was blown off by the wind, and she glanced back in a hurry, only to see that in the fire that filled the sky, countless people were crowded under the door of Ganlu sadly, their voices were sad, and their tears turned into blood...

They ran all the way outside the Daming Palace, out of breath from exhaustion.The emperor had already left Chang'an first, leaving only less than ten carriages and a team of forbidden troops to the Daming Palace.

The emperor had many concubines, and they managed to squeeze into the last carriage, and the army was launched.

"It's too dangerous." Xue Cairen patted his chest, still panting: "I really can't leave later!"

"I don't know if Xinping and the son-in-law are gone?" Chang Cairen missed his daughter and son-in-law, and even got into the car, he couldn't feel at ease.

There were other concubines crowded in the carriage. Some people said that the emperor had informed the princesses in the evening, and some said that the Baisunyuan had no news at all because the emperor was unable to take away so many people.More importantly, the more people are taken away, the more difficult it is to keep this secret.

After all, the people in Chang'an didn't know about it yet, and they were confidently expecting the Tang army to defeat Anlu Mountain.

Li Miaozhen was crowded and hot and stuffy, she sat on the side again, so she looked out.The sound of trampling horses' hooves and the sound of wheels and carriage tracks seemed particularly abrupt in the middle of the night. Gradually, the Daming Palace also disappeared from her sight.

She was a little confused and always felt that she had forgotten something very important.

It was daylight, and soon it was dark again.Day by day, the carriage carrying the concubines of the Ming Dynasty soon met the rest of the carriages. Some people learned that their children and grandchildren were still in Chang'an, and they didn't care about the face of the concubines, so they sat on the ground and cried loudly.

I heard that Anlu Mountain has captured Chang'an.

There is no such thing as a good life on the way to escape. In order to compete for supplies, the concubines and concubines fight together every day.There were a few more people missing in the carriage, and when they arrived at Maweipo, the army stopped temporarily.

I heard that the Yang family was wiped out and the imperial concubine hanged herself.

Some people clapped their hands, some were indifferent, and some were overwhelmed.Xue Cairen belongs to the latter group. After all, she is an old woman, and she really can't stand the days of running around and being tortured.

She was lying on the tattered mat in the earthen house, vomiting and diarrhea, and she had no strength at all.Li Miaozhen asked the military doctor to take a look. The military doctor shook his head and said that the medicinal materials were very precious.

Finally, under the plea of ​​Chang Cairen and her, the military doctor wrote down a prescription and asked them to collect the medicine and brew it by themselves.

The army will continue to go south in three days, and it is said that it will enter the territory of Shu.Li Miaozhen was anxious, she didn't know the medicinal materials, but considering Xue Cairen's kindness, she was willing to give it a try.

She changed into a plain round-neck gown, quietly ran away from the barracks alone, and searched for medicine in the mountains around Maweipo.It's strange, she has never studied medicine, why did she recognize these herbs?

Li Miaozhen stood on the hillside, staring intently at Wuyang Wuyang's army.

No, she remembered, didn't she go to practice Taoism? !

She guessed that this should be a dream, and what was shown in the dream was the change of Maweipo recorded in the history books.Since it was a dream, Li Miaozhen didn't worry about Xue Cairen's condition anymore, she got up and flew towards Chang'an.

The dream was changing rapidly, and in the blink of an eye Chang'an was already in flames.An Lushan's army wantonly killed ordinary people, burned palaces, and plundered treasures.

Li Miaozhen landed next to a ruined wall in the square, and there were a few Lite soldiers in front of him, trying to bully a mother and daughter.

Even in the dream, she couldn't hold back her anger, and was about to use the power of the main god to completely destroy these scumbags.Unexpectedly, before she could make a move, a figure sprang out from the corner.

It was a young man who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in white as fast as lightning, holding a sword in his hand, he stood in front of the mother and daughter, and scolded: "There is no reason to bully women and children!"

The young swordsman fought with a few scumbags. His swordsmanship was really good, and he knocked everyone down in a few rounds.The sound of horseshoes sounded outside the long alley, and a sturdy General Li Te came galloping on horseback and swung his long whip at the young swordsman

He avoided it nimbly, but his feet were stuck on the ground and he couldn't move. It turned out that he was dragged desperately by the soldiers lying on the ground.The young swordsman suddenly fell into a disadvantageous situation. The general swung his long knife, and with a flash of white light, it stabbed into his chest.

The white clothes were stained red with blood, Li Te people beside him exploded like bombs, and Li Miaozhen walked over quickly.

She seems to be late.

The young swordsman lay absent-mindedly on the stone-paved road, with a bloodstain on the corner of his lips. With the last of his strength, he recited a line of Li Bai's poem: "... If you die a hero, you will not be ashamed of being a hero in the world."

In troubled times, human life is as cheap as grass.

Li Miaozhen woke up from the dream, she opened her eyes, took a few breaths, and then reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

When she was in Beiming Illusion before, she didn't bring too much affection, because it was all in the past, and she no longer cared about things.But tonight's dream is the future she fears.

Thoughts by day and dreams by night, she thought that she was too worried about Datang, so she had this nightmare on the first night of coming to Chang'an.

……

She didn't sleep well in the second half of the night, and she woke up when it was just dawn the next day.

The restriction outside the door was not broken in any way, Li Miaozhen glanced west, determined not to disturb Luo Gongyuan, went outside first, bought some Hubing and came back.

There is a thin layer of mist floating in the room, and some shops have already started to open their doors for business.Li Miaozhen strolled forward, saw the peaceful and warm scene in front of him, recalled the dream last night, compared the two, and sighed in his heart.

A quarter of an hour later, she was holding the hot pancakes wrapped in oiled paper, and was about to go back to the mansion shop.

When crossing the bridge, the cheers of the teenagers and the sound of swords were heard under the willow trees by the river.She glanced casually, and saw a young man in white dancing with a sword under the tree, his figure was as light as a fairy.

The young men surrounding him clapped their hands and applauded, and some passers-by stopped to watch.

Tang people like to watch sword dances very much. The most famous one is Gongsun Da Niang, who can dance with the roar of thousands of troops and the magnificent atmosphere of mountains and rivers.However, Li Miaozhen grew up in the Tianbao period, and Aunt Gongsun was already old.

She also walked over with Hu Bing in her arms, thinking that Grandma Gongsun's sword dance was not as good as his.

The young man's sword danced like a dragon, and when he moved quickly, it danced in the air like a silver white sword.The willow leaves by the lake were chopped to pieces by him, and he picked up the broken leaves with his sword, raising a blue light.

The onlookers applauded thunderously, the young man in white put away his sword and thanked everyone with cupped fists.

When he was facing Li Miaozhen's side, he just raised his head and met her eyes.

Those brown eyes shone with innocence and joy, and he looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, with his ponytail raised high, and a slight dimple on his face when he smiled.

Li Miaozhen recognized him.

That's right, the young swordsman in the dream!

She was slightly stunned. She thought it was just a dream, but she didn't expect there to be such a young man in Chang'an?She didn't know what to say for a moment, the young man saw that she was only staring at him, took a picture on the lake, and said with a smile, "Sister, is there anything dirty on my face?"

Several teenagers who were watching also laughed, and someone said: "Seventeen Lang, you are green."

He reached out and pulled a willow leaf from the boy's hair, and everyone burst into laughter.The young man was also a little embarrassed, and after driving away his companion, he said to Li Miaozhen, "Sister, my name is Fu Shiqi. If you look at me like this, do you know swords too?"

She shook her head: "I don't understand swords, I only understand sword intent."

"Huh!" Fu Shiqi's eyes were filled with surprise, and he said, "Sister's opinion is really different! I think that in order to discuss swords, you must first have the intent of the sword..."

He was about to talk about his views, but unexpectedly, a voice calling for him came from a family by the river, so he reluctantly stopped the topic: "Sister, I'll go home for dinner first, what do you... ?”

Li Miaozhen said: "Li Erjiu."

"My sister's ranking is lower than mine..." He whispered, and said goodbye to her: "Let's go, Second Aunt..." Fu Shiqi's pronunciation was a bit inaccurate, and he pronounced Erjiu as Second Uncle, I still don't know it.

Li Miaozhen: "..."
