No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!

Tu Lun waved his hands and described the whole process of entering the secret room to retrieve the item with great emotion.

While listening, Lu Lu supported herself with her hands and stared at the painting on the table, wondering what she was thinking.

At this time, Shechan came in from outside, holding an eight-treasure plate with a bowl of freshly boiled medicine on it.

As soon as she entered the outer room, she saw that her young lady looked worried, and her good sister Tu Lun was talking quickly.

She walked over quietly and was about to put the medicine bowl in front of the young lady, but she found that the table was occupied by other things, so she had to move the bowl to the table at the side, thinking that she would remind the young lady to take the medicine after it cooled down a little.

After he had done all this, Shechan still did not say a word, but stood quietly behind his lady. After he saw that enough clothes had been licked from the lady's body, he distracted himself and listened to what Tulun was saying.

"It's true, miss! There was definitely no such painting in May!"

painting?

Hearing the sound, Shechan looked at the painting on the table. Both the materials and the content of the painting were not of top quality. Such inferior paper and ink were not worth mentioning by the young lady, and even the maids would not look down on them.

Just after she finished complaining about the painting, the next moment, her eyes widened!

I saw a letter sewn on the canvas outside the drawing paper, and on the envelope were four beautiful small words written - "From my father"!

This is the lady's handwriting!

"Snakes are entangled, get the scissors."

Shechan instantly came back to his senses and agreed, "Yes."

The moment he turned around, Shechan seemed to see the young lady playing with something golden.

The scissors are in the inner room, just a few steps away.

Shechan lowered his head and handed over the scissors with both hands. Lu Lu threw the thing in his hand onto the table, reached out to take the scissors, stood up and was about to take the envelope on the painting himself.

It was because of this casual toss that Shechan saw clearly what the young lady was playing with.

It is one of the tail wings on the golden phoenix hairpin!

The two maids watched their mistress carefully as she used a pair of scissors to cut a circle of silk thread and took down the envelope.

Lu Lu turned over the back and saw a stamp on the letterhead, which was her own private seal.

No need to check further.

There is no possibility of falsification. This letter was originally a suicide note to her father written in desperation. Unexpectedly, after so many twists and turns, it finally returned to her in this form.

Lu Lu gently placed the letter on the table, frowning slightly.

At this time, Shechan reminded: "Miss, it's time to take medicine."

"Bring it here..." Lu Lu picked up the bowl while thinking, tilted her head slightly and drank the sour and bitter medicine in the bowl.

Tu Lun skillfully brought the sweet tea that he had prepared in advance, and asked the lady to rinse her mouth after drinking the medicine to suppress the taste of the medicine in her mouth.

Lu Lu sipped the sweet tea and pondered for a long time, but still couldn't understand why these two things appeared in her secret room.

The young lady did not speak, so the maid waited quietly, and the room fell silent for a while.

After a while, Lu Lu put down the tea bowl and said, "Tu Lun, go check on the person who entered the secret room with you in May."

"Shechan, go to my father and tell him I want to know what happened in Shandan recently? And what happened to the young master of the Ji family?"

"Yes."

She still believed that someone had deliberately hung these things in the secret room to convey some meaning to her.

But why bring this painting?

At this time, Niu Niang walked into the room holding a lacquer box.

She searched for a long time before finally finding the phoenix hairpin among the collections.

Niu Niang opened the lacquer box, and a phoenix hairpin made of extremely luxurious materials and showing the exquisite craftsmanship of the craftsman appeared before her.

Even when forgotten in a box, it never loses its luster.

There is no need to compare, there is no other hairpin in the world that is as elaborate as this one.

"Speaking of which, this hairpin was given to you by the Queen Mother..."

The Queen Mother's meaning is self-evident.

She was still young at that time and did not know or could not refuse the empress dowager's reward. Fortunately, her father and His Majesty immediately explained the reason and allowed her to leave Chang'an on the pretext of visiting her grandfather and go to the south of the Yangtze River to avoid the limelight.

You have to wear the gifts given by the Empress Dowager.

The reason why she wore the phoenix hairpin was not to show off, but to use this heaviness to remind herself of her difficult situation, and to always remember that although her father seemed to be deeply loved, he was actually having a hard time.

Shan Dan was in trouble, so she had to break the phoenix hairpin.

After returning, the Queen Mother asked about it. Fortunately, she was no longer as stupid and dull as before. She thought that her father would take care of everything, so she was unwilling to flatter him. She replied: "On the way through Shandan, there were bandits blocking the road in front and secret sentries chasing and killing me from behind. It was very dangerous. Fortunately, Fengchai saved me from the disaster at the critical moment. I was able to return to Chang'an safely and see the Queen Mother..."

Later, the Queen Mother no longer pursued the matter of the Phoenix Hairpin, nor did she mention her marriage again.

"Put it away..."

Niu Niang put the broken tail wing into the lacquer box and quietly left.

It can be seen that the young lady really dislikes this phoenix hairpin.

Hu Xiao walked into the room holding the box, and the first thing he saw was the painting.

My young lady was standing in front of the painting, seemingly appreciating it with great interest, but in fact she was so disgusted that she refused to even look at it again.

"Miss, the birthday gift for the Duke has been brought here." As he spoke, Hu Xiao opened the box he had taken out from the secret room. Inside the box were six separate brocade boxes, each containing a pill.

"Remember to change it to a nice-looking box, as the Duke's birthday will be coming soon."

"I remember it!" Hu Xiao put the box aside, walked behind his young lady, and also admired the painting. "Miss, what's so strange about this painting?"

Lu Lu shook her head: "Look at the inscription on the painting, does it look familiar to you?"

Hu Xiao then recited: "The cold and icy waters are reflected in the water, and the frosty texture is moistened by the water. The streams are winding and the water is confusing, and the forests are far away and the rocks are dense. - Bai Qingshan Monk."

Bai Qingshan monk?

"Miss, is this Bai Qingshan from Shandan?"

Lu Lu nodded slightly. When she passed by Shandan, she wanted to climb Baiqing Mountain to worship the temple. However, it happened that His Majesty issued an order to ban Buddhism, and the temple on Baiqing Mountain was closed and became an abandoned temple. Naturally, she could no longer go there.

Hu Xiao pondered the meaning of the poem. Of course, she couldn't understand it because of her low level of education, but she had the young lady to ask for advice!

"Miss, I know that 'Danlan' means the slight movement of water waves, what does 'Tuanluan' mean?"

Lu Lu smiled dotingly, shook her head and explained: "Tuanluan refers to bamboo, and bamboo becomes greener and more lustrous after frost." As she spoke, she explained the four lines of poetry in detail.

"Oh - thank you Miss for answering my questions!"

"loquacious."

Ji Qingyue in the painting couldn't help but sigh that the way the master and servant get along shows that their relationship is truly extraordinary.

At the same time, Ji Qingyue suddenly realized what he meant!

Then, "But there are no bamboos in the painting?"

Hu Xiao’s doubts were also Ji Qingyue’s doubts.

But he soon realized one thing: the poem was written by the monk Bai Qingshan, and that was what he saw. Even if there was no bamboo in the painting, the person who painted it must have seen bamboo at that time!

Ji Qingyue had observed that when he stood on the top of the mountain and looked out, he saw a densely packed mountain range. The top of the mountain where the barrier was located was in the background of the painting, that is, the mountain at the top of the picture and farthest from the person viewing the painting.

He didn't know whether the lake that the artist deliberately hid among the mountains was the Stone Tower Salt Lake, but he always had a strong premonition in his heart. The painter had clearly drawn the water flow, but did not add two more strokes to draw the lake. Such a secretive behavior made him suspicious.

Assuming that the hidden lake is the Shita Salt Lake, it means that bamboo grows in the mountains near the salt lake.

Northwest, salt lake, bamboo?

Is there bamboo in the northwest?

Ji Qingyue scratched his head. Without anyone to discuss with, his messy thoughts quickly became a dead end.

At this time, the master and servant off-screen continued to say, "It's a coincidence that the Baiqingshan Temple was built with the donations from the Duke's ancestors. After the temple was built, a direct descendant of the family received a certificate of ordination and went to the Baiqingshan Monk to become a monk."

"Miss, do you think this 'Bai Qingshan Monk' could be the direct descendant of the Duke's family?"

"I don't know about that..."

Lu Lu didn't dwell on this matter too much. Now she wanted to know more about the man's purpose in doing all this. Was he taking the token she gave to the young master of the Ji family to warn her or to remind her?

"Now is the critical period of reform. My father is working day and night and is busy with the ministers. Your Majesty is working hard and striving to govern the country, fearing that all will be lost if he makes a mistake." Lu Lu no longer thought about the painting. She asked Hu Xiao to put the painting away and put it in the ear room, and think about it after Tu Lun and She Chan came back.

Fortunately, Miss Lu did not throw the painting back into the secret room.

Ji Qingyue kept sighing in the painting, and at the same time was thinking about how to leave Lu Mansion.

This is the home of the emperor's top leader, so the security measures must be very thorough. Even if he leaves the secret room, the situation outside is still not optimistic. Now the painting is in the room of the top leader's precious daughter. If he goes out rashly, not to mention whether he will scare the young lady, the fact that there are differences between men and women makes him unable to refute it.

Two ways.

The first way is to go out openly and confess your identity to Lu Lu.

The second way is to sneak out and not have any relationship with Lu Lu or even the Lu family.

Ji Qingyue certainly prefers the second path.

The Lu family is no longer a simple aristocratic family. They are the emperor's top leader, in charge of the three major departments of rites, households, and officials. They are also the main promoters of reforms. With these three buffs stacked up, the Lu family is destined to reach the pinnacle of officialdom. Once the reform is successful, the Lu family's position will be unshakable.

Such nobles are not cold-blooded, but they are absolutely rational. Ordinary people cannot protect themselves if they have anything to do with such nobles.

The road to reform is bloody.

Although Ji Qingyue was looking forward to the reforms producing good results, he did not want to be associated with a big political family like the Lu family when he had no power at all.

If you want to escape from Lu Mansion by your own strength, you have to plan everything in advance.

Finding the way out of the house is the key to escaping successfully.

The scroll left Lu Lu's room and was being sent to an unknown side room.

Suddenly, another anxious voice came, with a hint of joy in its eagerness: "Hu Xiao, we won! We won!"

Hu Xiao didn't react: "Won? What did you mean won? Long'er, what are you talking about?"

The person called "Long'er" said angrily: "Oh! If we win, it means we won the fight!"

"Really?" Hu Xiao was very surprised after he realized what was happening. He pulled Long'er to confirm: "Did we really defeat the Huihe?!"

"It's true. The news of victory has spread across the streets of Chang'an. I'm sure it has reached the ears of the emperor by now!"

"Oh! That's great!"

“It’s really satisfying!”

Ji Qingyue was confused and shocked. A war?

While Ji Qingyue was still planning how to escape from Lu Mansion, a big battle had already been fought in the northwest!

"You kid! I never knew you were such a desperate person!"

"It is true that heroes have always emerged from youth! I am so far behind, so far behind!!"

……

A tall man was surrounded by a crowd of people and was being teased. From time to time, the man would fight back and tease his companions. The group of people started to make a noise, and the fun did not diminish at all.

The man's armor was covered with coagulated black blood. He held up his helmet, and his hair was not tied up, but wrapped with a cloth strip. The cloth strip covered his hair tightly and was tied behind his neck, leaving only his face exposed.

Even though only a face is shown, it is unusual.

I saw that half of the right half of this man's face was occupied by a huge scar, which looked very scary.

The scars were not caused by knife strikes or arrow piercings, but by fire.

If someone who doesn't know the truth suddenly sees a face like that, he will be scared to death and think that he is a ghost crawling out of a sea of ​​fire.

At the beginning, some people were really scared by Li Changxiang's sudden turn of his head, and the effect was doubled at night.

"Li Changxiang!!"

"My subordinate is here!"

"The general is summoning you!"

"Yes!"

The one being made fun of was Li Erlang Li Changxiang.

Li Changxiang left everyone behind and turned to walk towards the general's tent: "General, your subordinate Li Changxiang is here to see you!"

Yang Huang's loud voice came from the big tent: "Come in!"

Yang Huang finished the discussion with his military advisors and staff, and was preparing to summon the leaders of each team to hear detailed battle reports, but before that, he wanted to meet Li Changxiang first.

"Although this battle was not large in scale, it was the first victory since the barracks were reorganized! Your performance was outstanding!!"

"Thank you for the compliment, General! General, you beat the drum to send a message at the critical moment, and I just followed your orders."

Yang Huang laughed with his head raised. This battle only temporarily repelled the Uighur attack, but it was enough to boost morale.

"I only gave instructions for the attack, but you dared to lead your men into the enemy camp and seize the flag!"

After joining the army, Li Changxiang was assigned to the first-class private and belonged to the close combat cavalry. His main weapon was a ring-handled sword and his secondary weapon was a barrier sword.

This battle was really thrilling. At that time, the captain was leading him and several teammates, responsible for the enemy's right wing. After a charge and fighting, the captain unfortunately fell off his horse and was immediately buried in the billowing smoke and dust. Countless horses' hooves made a thunderous sound, and no one could be distracted, so they had to keep fighting.

Without a captain to lead them, the untrained cavalry squad was like a fly without a master, stuck in the battlefield and not knowing where to attack.

The enemy cavalry was not only numerous, but also constantly changing their formations. In the chaos of the battle, Li Changxiang and two or three teammates encountered another small group of cavalry that had also been scattered. The two teams quickly formed one team and fought hard.

Yang Huang, who was standing on a high point in the rear, kept observing the enemy's formation and suddenly spotted a weak point. He immediately grabbed the drumstick and beat the drum to convey his orders.

After hearing the drumbeat, Li Changxiang immediately looked for his own military flag, and with the flag as the center, he searched for the attack position where the order was conveyed.

Just happened to be near them!!

So Li Changxiang raised his long knife, shouted loudly, and kept repeating his instructions. After hearing it, his teammates followed him and rushed in the direction of the instructions.

This is where the local military flag is! This is also where the local chief general is!

"kill him!!"

At that time, there was no thought left in my mind. I didn’t remember who I was, I didn’t know who my lover was, and I didn’t care about my family far away. There was only one word: kill!

The tall cavalrymen were very intimidating, and coupled with Li Changxiang's face that was burned by fire, the enemy leader forgot to give the attack order for a moment and just ordered his men to retreat.

Li Changxiang has gone crazy with killing!

The hundreds of years of hatred between the two countries, the resentment of several defeats after joining the army, and the grief of losing important people were vented in this battle.

Someone shouted, "Take down their flag!"

When two sides fight, no matter who wins or loses, being able to snatch the opponent's flag is a top-notch achievement.

The military flag represents the morale of an army and plays an extremely important role on the battlefield. Many commands must rely on the guidance of the military flag.

When the military flag is there, the morale is there; when the flag falls, the morale is gone.

In order to prevent the military flag from being snatched away, those chosen to carry the flag were the top-notch killing gods in the barracks. They were strong men who could sweep across a large area while carrying a flag weighing dozens of kilograms.

Li Changxiang, with a ferocious face, pulled the reins and rode his horse over the crowd of flesh and blood. He stepped in front of the enemy's chief horse and swung his sword to kill without saying a word.

An inch longer a weapon is, an inch stronger it is. The ring-handled sword is much longer than the scimitar used by the Uighurs. Prolonged close combat is very disadvantageous to them. The enemy tried desperately to retreat and create enough attack distance to allow the horses to accumulate strength for the attack, but Li Changxiang did not give them a chance and led his teammates to press closely.

No matter how powerful and strong the flag bearer is, as long as he stays away from the attack range and keeps consuming energy, he will eventually run out of energy.

The two teams pretended to pursue the leader, leading the riders, constantly consuming their energy, and then suddenly rushed forward when they were unprepared, chopping off the riders' heads with one blow.

It is not enough to just knock down the flag, we have to chop it down to prevent the enemy from raising it again.

After another long fight, Li Changxiang gradually found that there were more and more teammates around him. This was a sign of the enemy's collapse!

At this time, Yang Huang beat the drum again and gave the order: the entire army should pursue!

Defeated the enemy completely.

When Li Changxiang returned to the barracks to treat his wound, he was still in a daze. Even though the military doctor treated his wound roughly, he did not say a word.

Military doctors like such easy-to-treat patients the most.

After the war, they also had to deal with the aftermath of cleaning up the battlefield and collecting the bodies.

Then Yang Huang summoned him, recorded his military achievements, and appointed him as the team leader.
