"Gongsunli sees His Majesty."

"Get up."

White sleeves fluttered, Wu Zetian said lightly: "The day before yesterday, Ming Aiqing mentioned how much you contributed to Dali Temple, and even recovered the source of Chang'an City. I am very happy. But you are promoted to be Di Aiqing's right-hand man. The qualifications are not enough. Therefore, I will send you to the frontier to guard the Great Wall from now on, do you have any objection?"

"The courtiers have no objections, the master of the Ming Dynasty has seen and taught."

I stood up and lowered my head docilely, and saluted the master who was standing beside me with fists, while Di Renjie frowned displeasedly, but he still didn't say anything in the end.

"As expected of a daughter who practices martial arts, she is straightforward in her words and actions." Shangguan Wan'er, who had been standing by the side, stepped forward to study ink for Wu Zetian at this moment, "Tell me, what request do you want to fulfill?"

I respectfully said what I thought about last night: "I heard that there is a shortage of supplies at the border. I only hope that His Majesty can send someone to send some fresh vegetables every half a month. My daughter will be satisfied."

Yes, I packed up all my daily necessities, except bedding, washing utensils, clothes and shoes, and I also brought a folding tent.In addition, I also took my own food into consideration, so I brought the last can of peony honeydew, two cans of homemade chili sauce and a can of pickled cabbage.I also took the peony mask that Master gave me. If I don’t come back for a few months, these things will be broken.

Wu Zetian raised his wrist and wrote, with a meaningful smile on his lips: "Why, don't you take advantage of my good mood and ask for more official positions? Why do you just go to the border so easily, don't you plan to beg a few words, maybe you can't go? "

Wu Zetian’s question made me stunned. In fact, I didn’t think about it so much, and I didn’t know how to answer it. The words on the note that Master handed me a long time ago came to my mind, and I couldn’t help blurting out: The Five Ethics cannot be intentional, the greater the amount, the greater the blessing, and the greater the opportunity, the greater the misfortune."

The hall was suddenly terribly quiet, and even the sound of brushing and writing stopped abruptly. I felt a little nervous, and looked up at Wu Zetian, only to see that she was still holding the pen, with a leisurely smile on the corner of her mouth. It seemed that Wen Wan Jingyi's face was covered with a layer of haze.

Without knowing it, I turned my head to the side to avoid it, and met Di Renjie's slightly shocked eyes. When I was embarrassed, I could only giggle at him twice, and quickly turned my head to the other side.The master didn't even look at me, but kept his eyes on Wu Zetian as before, as if what others said had nothing to do with him.And the other ministers looked at me with expressions of shock, pity, or schadenfreude, which confused me.

"A young girl, what do you know?"

In the end, it was Wu Zetian's laughing and cursing that broke the embarrassing situation, but seeing her eyes, Shangguan Wan'er rolled up the written edict, held it in both hands and walked slowly to me: "Miss Gongsun, accept the edict. "

I immediately reacted, quickly knelt down and raised my hands, and took the scroll from Shangguan Wan'er's hand: "My daughter, Gongsunli, accept the order."

……

In a small carriage, I and all my belongings were pulled out of the Xuanwu Gate. Yuhuan and her sisters all went to see me off outside the city gate. So many beautiful girls came out at once, and the soldiers who guarded the city gate all looked away. up.

"Sister, bring this on!"

Xiaohu desperately squeezed his way through the crowd, and handed out the steaming lotus leaf bun to me: "This is your favorite shredded radish burrito, you can eat it on the road."

"Sister, life at the border is hard, you have to take care of yourself."

Thanks to Yuhuan who hugged her to my side, she handed me a yellow cloth bag slung over her shoulder. I touched it, and there was about a dozen taels of silver in it.

"Sister Li, remember to think about my sisters." Yuhuan rolled her lips into a smile, raised her hand and pressed my shoulder, "I will leave half of what Master gives me in the future."

"Fangzhu, please lower your head and close your eyes."

Hongfu nodded to me with the dye pen, and I followed my advice, and felt the bangs in front of my forehead being brushed away by her, and a little coolness fell on the center of my forehead, and the refreshing feeling instantly spread to all my limbs, and I felt my whole body My demon power is almost aroused.

"you?"

Facing my surprised eyes, Hongfu smiled and took back the paintbrush: "Master, I don't know, this is a custom in my hometown. Through this magical flower-yellow paintbrush, it can protect people from all evils and arouse people's whole body. Potential. Thank you Fangzhu for your many days of shelter, I can only repay you with this."

I looked at Yuhuan again, and I don't know when three golden petals were tattooed on Yuhuan's forehead.It seems that this red brush is unfathomable.

"Goodbye."

I've been delayed here for half an hour. If I continue to delay, I will definitely not be able to reach my destination before dusk. I yelled reluctantly, opened the door curtain and got into the carriage.

A flute sounded lingeringly, and the wheels of the carriage slowly turned forward. I opened the corner of the curtain in search of the sound, and looked west, only to see two figures, one tall and one short, standing on the roof in the distance. The man in white was playing the flute, and the short man in blue waved to me.

"goodbye!"

He lip-synced silently.

It wasn't until I could no longer see them that I reluctantly drew down the curtains and greeted the coachman sent by Shangguan Wan'er: "You can hurry up."

"Understood, Lord Gongsun!"

With the whip whipping, the speed of the carriage increased. I leaned back and closed my eyes to sleep. After all, the Great Wall General Camp I was going to was still some distance away, enough for me to sleep.

……

"Master Gongsun, you've arrived!"

The sudden loud voice woke me up, who was still lightly asleep. I raised my hand to touch my face, and quickly got out of the carriage. The sun was already setting outside, and it was almost night.

Not far away, the red brick houses are scattered under the Great Wall covered with yellow mud. Every other section of the Great Wall is divided into multiple sections. Occasionally, yellow sand will be rolled up by the wind. On the thin dusty ground, fresh Few clumps of green can be seen, and the only movement that can be heard is the whirring of the wind.

"Wait here for me, I'll go find someone."

After instructing the coachman, I found a silk scarf to wrap around my mouth and nose, took Wu Zetian's imperial decree, hid the maple leaf dart given by Li Yuanfang, and explored the road aimlessly.

"Excuse me, where is General Hua?"

When Zhang saw a soldier on patrol, I hurriedly stepped forward to ask him the way, and tilted my head at him with an apologetic smile.Xiaobing's face was slightly red, and he took a step back and bowed slightly towards me.

"Follow... come with me."

I followed him up the earthen stairs to the battlements, and walked slowly on the high Great Wall. The beacon fires lit on the edge danced gently with the breeze, full of vitality.The inside of the white tent at the end of the wide road was dyed yellow by candlelight.

"General Hua, someone is looking for you."

The little soldier called out to the tent, and I became a little nervous.Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, I adjusted myself as calmly as possible.

"It's okay, General Hua is always there, you don't need to wait for her permission for this kind of thing, you can go in directly."

Seeing that I was still standing there, Xiaobing quickly reminded me.I was stunned for a moment, and after opening the curtain, I lowered my head and went in. I walked straight to the desk at the front without squinting, stopped two steps before the desk, half-knelt down, and held the imperial decree in both hands. overdo it.

"My little daughter, Gongsunli, has met General Hua. According to His Majesty's order, I have come to the Great Wall to defend the frontier. The current imperial decree is for this, and the general can fully believe it."
