"Oh, let grandfather be?"

"The ancestors of the family have a tattoo: You, and the lower one is the tattoo: Xu! (Wu Youxu)"

"I see!"

Li Zhao was familiar with the new and old Tang books and was very familiar with historical figures of the Tang Dynasty. He gathered various information together and basically understood the whole story.

Empress Zetian is the famous Wu Zetian. She was originally a fifth-rank talented person in the harem of Emperor Taizong - Li Shimin, so she is also called "Wu Cairen."

But no one expected that this low-ranking Wucai man, after decades, took control of military and political power, and even abolished the two emperors Xian and Dan, revolutionized the Tang Dynasty, and established Wu Zhou, becoming the first female emperor since the creation of the world!

After Wu Zetian became emperor, in order to enrich his wings, he conferred twelve nephews of the Wu surname as kings. Wu Youxu was one of them and was named King Anping.

Among the kings of the Wu surname, Wu Youxu is definitely an alien:

First of all, this man is very talented, both civil and military, and has served in the Yangzhou Grand Governor's Office and General Qianniu Guard. He has also led his army to attack the Khitan tribes and won many battles, which has greatly won his aunt!

Secondly, this person is calm and has no desires and does not talk about wealth and honor. Other Wu's children are desperately climbing up, but he retreats bravely, abandons all official titles, and goes to Mount Emei to live a seclusion.

After Emperor Zhongzong was restored, he began to eliminate the kings of the Wu family: Wu Sansi, Wu Chongxun, Wu Yanxiu... all died of misfortune. Only Wu Youxu was safe and had a life of peace and death!

And the Xiaowu brothers and sisters are descendants of Wu Youxu!

...

The past has become clouds and mists, and emperors, generals and ministers have all returned to dust!

Now, the descendants of the Li and Wu families meet on the way to Chang'an City. How many right and wrong will they lead to in the future?

...

Just as the two were talking, the boatmen raised their sails, took advantage of the wind to go downstream, and headed straight for Chang'an City...

The boat split the waves and broke through the waves, and it was inevitable that it would sway a little. The Wu brother and sister were a little seasick, and their two small faces were pale. After accusing the crime, they both hid in the cabin to rest.

"Baimo, tell others that no one is allowed to enter their sister's cabin. It's inconvenient for girls!"

"Sisters, aren't they brothers and sisters?"

"No, it's sisters, Xiao Wu is dressed as a man!"

The male rabbit's feet are shaky, the female rabbit's eyes are blurred, and the two rabbits walk by the ground. How can I tell whether I am male or female? Rabbits are indeed difficult to distinguish between male and female, but the gender of humans is easy to distinguish.

Compared with men, women have narrow shoulders, wide hips, about the same length above the waist and below the waist, thinner neck, and fair skin... Therefore, when Li Zhao first saw Xiao Wu, he knew that she was a woman.

Thinking about it, a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, came from Jiannan Road to Guanzhong with a little sister, and traveled thousands of miles away, and countless obstacles. It is obviously safer to dress up as a man. The waxy color on her face should be something like ginger, in order to cover up her true appearance.

Otherwise, such a delicate little beauty would be captured by the bandits as the wife of the village before she even came out of Jiannan Road!

Baimo went to send a message, and no one was allowed to disturb the Wu sisters. Even supper, tea and some daily necessities were sent by Aunt Qing.

...

Soon, night fell.

Perhaps because of the first time I left my hometown, Li Zhao couldn't fall asleep for a long time, so he simply came to the deck, looked up at the starry sky, enjoyed the beautiful scenery, and then pulled out the nine-hole purple gold flute from his waist to play...

This time I left Qianlonggang and I don’t know when I would go back. Therefore, Li Zhao brought out the nine-hole purple gold flute enshrined in the small ancestral hall to see the things and think of his hometown!

Clouds floating across the sky

It keeps calling me

When the breeze blows gently around you

A voice is calling to me

Come back, come back

Wandering around the world

This is not an ancient style song, but a song from later generations "Clouds in Hometown".

The reason is very simple. Li Zhao missed home, not only Qianlonggang's home, but also another world's home, relatives, friends, classmates, and comrades-in-arms... are they all okay?

Even if others leave their hometown thousands of miles away, they will have one day to go back, but their hometown is probably not going back for eternity.

Forget it, if you can’t go back, you can’t go back. A man, a real man, be careful of the world and regard the world as your home!

...

Um?

When she was sad, a guzheng sounded in the cabin. It was the girl Xiaowu playing, and it was also full of sadness. She missed home too.

No, Xiao Wu played it, and it was also "The Clouds of Hometown". How could she have this song?

Could it be that she also traveled through time?

Li Zhao jumped three feet in surprise and wanted to rush into the cabin to ask for it, but then stopped again... No, the sound of the guzheng was a little awkward, as if it was playing it for the first time. I understood that she was imitating herself.

After listening to it once, you can remember it in your heart and quickly transform the flute song into the guzheng song. Xiao Wu is so smart and kind!

A kind-hearted girl must be liked by people, but unfortunately her surname is Wu!

You know, a woman surnamed Wu has always been a nightmare of the Tang Empire.

First, Wu Zetian was born, revolutionized the Tang Dynasty and established Wu Zhou. He was in charge of power for 20 years. In order to maintain his rule, he did not hesitate to kill the Li Tang royal family. Emperor Gaozu and Taizong's descendants were almost killed.

Later, there was a concubine Wu Hui (Wu Zetian's great-niece) who was well-behaved and favored the harem. Four years ago, she accused the prince Li Ying, King E, Li Yao, and King Guang, Li Ju of rebellion, which led to a tragedy in which three princes died within a day, which was shocked by the government and the people.

Nowadays, another extremely intelligent woman surnamed Wu is about to enter Chang'an City. What will she bring to the Tang Empire?

Wait and see!

...

Chang'an City - located on the west bank of the Ba River, the southern part of Longshouyuan, was expanded on the basis of Daxing City of the Sui Dynasty. The city is rectangular in its overall shape, with a width of 9,721 meters from east to west, a length of 8,651 meters from north to south, a circumference of about 35.5 kilometers, an area of ​​84 square kilometers, 2.4 times that of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty, 1.4 times that of Beijing in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in later generations, and 7 times larger than Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire in the same period.

Chang'an City deserves its reputation as the world's largest city today!

On April 24, 2019, Li Zhao and his party finally met Chang'an City. Seeing Chang'an City means separation.

"Two, take care of yourself, see you again if you are destined to be together!"

"Young Master Zhao, goodbye to see you if you are destined to be!"

On the occasion of separation, Li Zhao gave Xiao Wu a bag containing twenty taels of gold. It would be best if the two sisters found relatives. If they could not find them, they could also use the money to return to their hometown in Bashu, or find a place to settle down.

Repaying his love, Li Zhao got a grape flower and bird pattern sachet, the size of a pecan, finely crafted, containing more than a dozen spices such as lilac, agarwood, mugwort leaves, perilla, etc.

There is also a special fragrance, faint, soft, and warm, making people feel slightly itchy.

Does this smell? Before traveling through time, Li Zhao smelled it on his first love. This is the unique daughter's fragrance... There are two words embroidered on the sachet: Poetics, this should be Xiao Wu's name.

Wu Shixiang!

Wu Mo Yun!

Poetry, painting, ink and calligraphy, and the names of the Wu sisters are really well-known!

"Okay, go into the city!"
