Chapter 57 Empress Wu Zetian
Di Renjie, who had seen the two of them landing and was about to step forward to stop Li Bai from entering the Zhuque Gate, paused when he heard the sound from Shangguan Wan'er behind him.
"The Empress wants to see him?"
The tone of the young man in the official uniform showed a little weirdness.
Di Renjie met a girl who was still imprisoned in the temple since Wu Zetian had not yet become the empress.
Even the matter of sealing her mentor, the ancient magician, was involved in it.
He can be called Wu Zetian's most respected confidant.
Di Renjie has also investigated Li Bai's resume.
It is precisely because of this that he is a little confused.
Logically speaking, although Li Bai was also a native of the Tang Dynasty, it is an indisputable fact that his hometown of Yunzhongmo was flattened by the imperial cavalry.
It is normal for him to have resentment towards the Tang Dynasty.
Looking at the young man in white robe who was holding his hands behind his back and following Shangguan Wan'er with his leisurely expression, Di Renjie frowned, and his eyes were filled with a light of thought.
Li Bai's expression was very wrong.
Lord Di, who had solved countless major cases, realized the unusual part at a glance.
This doesn't look like coming to fight to death.
To be honest...
It seems like he is uneasy.
"Bang!"
Di Renjie slapped his palms violently, his mind rolling rapidly, thinking about the joints in it.
Complex relationships intertwined and interspersed.
And our Detective Di can always grasp the most critical point.
"The war back then was unusual..."
"The clouds are peaceful all year round, but suddenly a rebellion of demons was launched, and they attacked wildly against the Tang Dynasty defenders and the Governor's Office."
"Behind this war, someone should be fueling the fire..."
"And Li Bai's expression probably found the mastermind behind the scenes."
Di Renjie touched his chin, and was a little confused.
"What did he do when he came to Chang'an? After being suppressed by the empress, he felt dissatisfied and young and energetic?"
"The reason is too far-fetched."
"What is it for..."
Di Renjie tilted his head and scratched his hair.
He was so interested in this guy's affairs.
......
Inside the Zhuque Gate, Chang'an Street.
Following Shangguan Wan'er's steps, Li Bai slowly walked into this once extremely familiar city again.
The Tang Dynasty was the most powerful country on the entire continent, attracting the tribute from all directions.
Whether it is the distant Fusang, Jixia, or even thirds of the land, they are in awe of it.
Moreover, this country is also the first place in history to ignore the harm brought by the demon seeds and be willing to accept the demon seeds.
In Chang'an City, you can see some humanoid creatures with head-shaped beast ears or tails everywhere.
The original residents of Chang'an have long been accustomed to this, and it is no surprise.
The separation of races seems to not exist here at all.
No matter how many times he has been here, Li Bai always feels a little moved when facing these figures full of happiness.
This is a city full of vitality and hope.
The Empress Wu Zetian made an indelible contribution to Chang'an's ability to become like this.
The streets are crowded with shopping, and the fragrance emitted by peony stamens floats from afar.
The young men from Wuling rushed forward, looking at the tall demon-type girl wearing orange clothes on the Jiaofang stage holding up the Luo umbrella, showing her eyes obsessed.
On the banquet on the banks of Qujiang next door, the sound of the pipa was overwhelmed and continued.
Born in the north, the beauty is peerless and independent, and is charming.
The sound of the pipa is like flowing water, expressing its heart, which makes tourists around him fall in love with him and compete to bow.
Through these scenes of arrangement like chess games, Li Bai and Shangguan Wan'er came to the center of Chang'an, Daming Palace.
This majestic palace was designed and constructed by Mo Zi, the great master of the agency.
Among them, the materials used for construction are top-notch, and the architecture is even more ingenious.
This is not the first time that Li Bai has come to the Daming Palace.
Unlike this time, he made a rush in the last time.
Even the palace developed by the Mohist master himself did not stop his swordsmanship.
The one who ended up blocking him was Wu Zetian, the master of the empire.
Speaking of the empress, we have to mention her magical cultivation.
What is the devil? It is mysterious and unpredictable knowledge, triggered by a certain medium, and transformed into a certain force.
What drives it is the knowledge and laws that define the origin of the world.
The Demonic Way replaced the fuel of the old world in another form and became the driving force and energy to transform the new world.
The Empress is a genius in using this power.
Even surpassed his mentor, the ancient magician Jiang Ziya.
Finally, because of political disagreement, she personally sent the teacher who tried to subvert her rule, the ancient magician, to fall asleep in the seal, and forever controlled this magnificent empire.
All the sun and the moon shine are belong to the Tang Dynasty!
But now, this once most powerful place has begun to surging undercurrents.
All the demons and monsters are ready to get a piece of the pie.
Passing through the front hall with the dazzling golden roof on the outside, Li Bai and Shangguan Wan'er walked into the back hall.
The pavilions on both sides are surrounded by pool water, covered with duckweed, green and clear.
Pushing open the simplicity and heavy red painted wooden door that exudes majesty, Shangguan Wan'er took the lead and walked into the magnificent palace.
"His Majesty the Queen, the Green Lotus Sword Immortal Li Bai has brought it."
A woman in Confucian uniform politely bowed and reported to her at the bottom of her head.
The back hall is not as wide as the front hall, and only a few dozen feet wide and long place is left, compact and elegant.
Sandalwood on both sides slowly rose, and the clouds and smoke spread out surrounded the sides of the hall.
"Um."
"Okay Wan'er, you go back."
"I have something to talk to him alone."
Moving up the stairs paved with jade, the owner, who made this thick but oppressive female voice, was sitting upright on the golden dragon chaise with solemn appearance and majestic momentum.
"Yes, the official is leaving."
Hearing Wu Zetian's recovery, Shangguan Wan'er lowered her eyes and replied softly, then turned around and looked at Li Bai, then did not stop, and returned along the path he came, disappearing.
After the woman in Confucian uniform left, the hall began to calm down again, and even contained some coldness.
"Li Bai, I haven't seen him for a long time..."
"I want to ask you this time, how do you think about the prosperous era of my Tang Dynasty?"
The gorgeously dressed and most noble Empress Wu Zetian had a frosty expression, as if she was the king who dominated the world. She asked calmly at the straight and straight young man in white robe below.
Hearing Wu Zetian with a hint of questioning, Li Bai was not disturbed by it, but instead took the lead and replied to Wu Zetian without caring:
"Li Bai has seen the prosperous age in His Majesty's mouth."
Speaking of this, the young man in white paused slightly, then slowly raised his head, stared at the empress who dominated the world, and said in a word:
"But from my perspective, your Majesty, your way..."
"I'm afraid I've started to go wrong!"
