"Okay, Lao Li, this is a good thing. I just hope we can drive the Japanese out as soon as possible." Zhao Gang patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder and said.

In the market space.

"Excuse me, Madam, is this Her Majesty Wu Zetian?" A figure suddenly appeared in front of Wu Zetian who was strolling in the market space.

"It's me. Who are you?" Wu Zetian took a look at the person in front of her. He was thin and there was nothing surprising about him.

"Haha, I know why Her Majesty is worried. I dare not offend the owner of the market, and Her Majesty can't afford to offend him either. But Xue Gang can solve one or two problems." The man smiled sinisterly.

"Oh, please tell me how to deal with Xue Gang." Wu Zetian suppressed the anger in her heart and stared at the person in front of her.

"Hey, this is easy. Xue Gang has turned the entire Xue Mansion into branch markets. It will be difficult for you to touch him. If you don't protect yourself as soon as possible, I'm afraid that Your Majesty the Queen will have trouble protecting herself." The figure said in a hoarse voice.

"What? Then what can I do?" Wu Zetian was shocked when she heard this. She thought of a certain possibility and felt a chill in her heart.

"It's very simple. Take over the palace and kill the new emperor and others. Leave no one alive and send their heads to Xue Gang. You can also enter this market space. When you are in control of the situation, nothing will be a worry." The figure continued sinisterly.

Wu Zetian nodded thoughtfully, then looked at the figure with some confusion.

"Haha, Your Majesty is probably confused. I have certain reasons for doing this. I'll tell Your Majesty later. And please go back as soon as possible and take control of the power." The cold laughter sounded again.

Wu Zetian looked at the gloomy figure with fear and said, "If I have any problems in the future, how can I find you? What is your purpose and what do you want? Just tell me."

"Haha, I will tell Her Majesty the Queen about these things later. Her Majesty should just take care of yourself first." The gloomy figure turned around and left without even looking at Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian thought about it for a moment and did not call out to the man. She looked at the market space with fear and found that what the man said seemed to be right. If this continued, Xue Gang and the others might be able to capture her.

After calming down, I quickly returned to the Tang Dynasty world.

In a side hall.

"You are the deputy general under Cheng Yuehu." Wu Zetian glanced at the young general kneeling at her feet and spoke.

"Reporting to Empress Wu, I am the real one. The reason why I am like this is because of the promotion of Empress Wu. I am willing to die for you." The young general looked at Wu Zetian excitedly.

"Oh, in that case, if I temporarily transfer Cheng Yuehu from the military camp, I can be sure to control the imperial guards." Wu Zetian thought for a while, her voice full of coldness.

"This is worth a try." The young general's face changed, and finally he said firmly.

"In that case, at 3:00 p.m. today, I will transfer Cheng Yuehu to accompany me out of the imperial city. That will be the time for you to take control of the imperial guards." Wu Zetian's eyes were grim as she kept glancing at the young general.

"I am willing to die for Empress Wu." The young general knelt even lower.

"Yes, I remember that you still have a child. He will have countless wealth and glory to enjoy, so you must not make the mistake of doing so." Wu Zetian warned the young general in a cold tone.

"I understand, and I am willing to devote my life to Empress Wu." The young general felt a little regretful, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go on.

Wu Zetian nodded with satisfaction and then went towards the Golden Palace.

"Your Majesty, today, I want to go out of the city for an outing. Why don't you let General Cheng Yuehu protect me?" Wu Zetian said lightly to Li Xian, who was sitting high on the throne.

"Well, since my mother has such an intention, General Cheng, you should take a hundred light cavalry to escort my mother. There must not be any mistakes." Li Xian hesitated a little, then looked at Cheng Yuehu with some determination, and he emphasized the word "mistake" very strongly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your order." Cheng Yuehu looked at Li Xian, understood his meaning, and after some hesitation, he agreed.

"In that case, I wonder if you all have anything else to report. If nothing else, please adjourn the court." Li Xian glanced at everyone in the hall before speaking.

Outside the city of Chang'an, there is a wild suburb.

"Cheng Yuehu, you are following the order of the new emperor and want to kill me." Wu Zetian walked out of the carriage and looked at Cheng Yuehu with a cold expression.

"Haha, now that Empress Wu knows about it, please don't blame me, Cheng. It is really difficult to disobey the emperor's order." Cheng Yuehu smiled bitterly and was about to step forward to take action.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Wait a moment, General Cheng, I think we can talk. Since I say so, I will let General Cheng out, which means I have made all the preparations. General Cheng doesn't want to kill me, otherwise he will see a river of blood when he goes back." Wu Zetian stopped Cheng Yuehu and said with a smile.

"What?" Cheng Yuehu was shocked and looked at Wu Zetian with some vigilance.

"General Cheng, don't you think about it? After I am truly eliminated, will Li Xian let you go? Most of the twenty-four heroes in Lingyan Pavilion were of mediocre origin, and now there are only a few left."

Wu Zetian paused, and then continued, "It has always been the aristocrats who fight for the world and enjoy wealth and glory. The mastermind behind the plot against the Xue family is Zhang Tianzuo, who was tacitly approved by the aristocrats of the world, including the new emperor Li Xian. Do you dare to say that he was not involved?"

"How is it possible? How could the new emperor be so cruel to our loyal ministers?" Cheng Yuehu was a little bit unbelievable. He just had some vague doubts before.

"Haha, of course. After the founding of the country, the two Liao royal palaces conferred titles of nobility upon people of the opposite sex based on military merit. Perhaps the late emperor believed in the Xue family, but will the new emperor feel at ease after he ascends the throne?" Wu Zetian sneered and looked at Cheng Yuehu with some disdain.

Cheng Yuehu suddenly fell silent, not saying a word, and stopped moving his hands.

"General Cheng, since the Xue family has obtained the immortal fate, no one can touch it. I also have the same immortal fate. Otherwise, why would I dare to let you follow me?" Wu Zetian continued after seeing Cheng Yuehu stop moving.

"I don't know, Empress Wu, what's the point of saying all this." Cheng Yuehu looked up and had to give up his previous plan.

"I can make you a promise that I will never touch your meritorious officials and will also give you a certain degree of protection. But General Cheng, please don't interfere in the affairs between me and the new emperor." Wu Zetian's tone softened a little.

PS, this is the last update. I suddenly switched to a computer, and it’s not very comfortable. I’ve just gotten used to the keyboard. I’ll update a little later tomorrow. I don’t have any drafts saved. Please support me. I’ll put all my effort into writing and try to update as much as possible.
