Su Ming put on his clothes and left quietly.

After he left, the empress opened her eyes, her eyes were full of tenderness and affection, almost turning steel into something soft. Suddenly, she laughed, her pretty face blossomed, she looked down at the marks on her body, her face flushed with shame.

The empress could never have imagined that she had done such a crazy thing last night. Thinking about it now, she still felt hot all over and her limbs went limp.

However, from then on, they were truly united.

What happened last night was reasonable. Su Ming confessed his origins to her, which was equivalent to entrusting his life to her, and the empress devoted her body and soul to him, and they became a perfect match.

What they have to do is too difficult and too shocking, so there must be a reliable bond of connection. The Empress is the key to maintaining this union.

The reason why Li Wentong surrendered to Su Ming and chose to stand on his side at this juncture was largely because the empress's heart was on him.

In this case, it is necessary to take the empress into the room.

After sleeping together all night, all three of them felt at ease.

……

"Little brother, where did you go last night?"

In Qinyan Palace, Su Ming was having breakfast with Yelu Zhiwu, while Chi Meng was sitting beside them, looking unhappy and depressed.

Yelu Zhiwu beside him didn't say anything, but her expression was slightly tense, and she pricked up her ears to listen to his answer. Su Ming didn't stop his movements, and said calmly, "I was too late to review the memorials last night, so I went straight to sleep in Qianqiu Palace."

"Oh." Although Chi Meng felt something was wrong, she couldn't put it into words. She could only nod suspiciously, "Luckily, I was there with Sister Yelu last night, otherwise she would have been alone in the empty room."

Su Ming raised his head and looked at her in surprise, "Sister Yelu? When did your relationship become so good?"

Chi Meng raised his chin and said proudly, "There are still many things you don't know."

He smiled faintly and said, "I will take you to visit Luoyang City today."

Yelu Zhiwu's eyes widened with a hint of sweetness in them. He still remembered it.

When Su Ming and Yelu Zhiwu first met, he promised her that he would take her to see Luoyang after they got married. Yelu Zhiwu thought that he would forget about this matter after he got married, but she didn't expect that he would take her out to see the city so soon.

"Okay, okay, I haven't gone out for a walk for a long time. Sister Yelu, let me tell you, there are many delicious and fun places in the city. I will take you to see them later." Chi Meng jumped up excitedly, walked around the table twice, took Yelu Zhiwu's hand and said excitedly.

Yelu Zhiwu was too embarrassed to refuse, and said softly, "Okay, wait a minute, let's change our clothes before going out."

Unlike Chi Meng, Yelu Zhiwu changed her grassland clothes and put on palace clothes after entering the palace. Compared with the light and simple grassland dresses, the palace dresses were thicker, more beautiful and more gorgeous in style.

Within a few days, Yelu Zhiwu fell in love with this kind of clothes. What girl doesn't love beauty?

Tang Ting's dress combines the beauty of Hu style and traditional Hanfu, and is elegant and generous. Although the girl has a slender waist and a small figure, she still looks cute, graceful and luxurious when she wears it.

Although it is small now, there may be room for growth in the future.

Half an hour later, Su Ming, Chi Meng and Yelu Zhiwu changed into casual clothes and left the imperial city.

With the emperor's wedding, many residents flocked into Luoyang. People who had fled the war returned one after another, and scattered refugees also gathered in the city, making Luoyang more prosperous.

There are endless merchants and crowds of people. You can often see merchants from all over the world in the market. Last time, they bought a dagger forged from Wootz steel in the market.

However, after walking for a while, Su Ming discovered that someone was following them secretly.

At first, he was very confused. They were wearing civilian clothes and at most looked a little more handsome and pretty. They were no different from other people. Why would anyone target them?

Besides, even if someone recognized them, they might not dare to come up and say hello.

After walking around for a few times, Su Ming discovered that the person following them was You Chuan from the Ten Thousand Poison Cave.

Why did he come to Central Plains?

Su Ming frowned slightly, thinking that he was sent by Yuan Tiangang to scout ahead, and immediately told Chi Meng quietly.

"What? You Chuan also came to Luoyang?" Chi Meng said in surprise.

"Yes, he is following behind us." Su Ming nodded and explained to Yelu Zhiwu beside him, "This person is an old acquaintance of ours. Like Chi Meng, he is from the Ten Thousand Poison Cave."

Yelu Zhiwu nodded as if she understood, glanced at Chi Meng, and then followed them obediently without saying a word.

Soon, the three of them turned left and right in the alley and came to a dead end.

You Chuan, who was following them from a distance, was also a little puzzled, not understanding why they came to such a small place.

At this time, Su Ming turned around, used all his internal strength, and spread his voice, "You Chuan, come out, you have been following me for so long."

Did they find me?

You Chuan was startled, then he suddenly realized and no longer hid himself, and walked out from the corner.

When he appeared in front of the three people, his eyes naturally fell on Chi Meng, "Chi Meng, long time no see."

Chi Meng wrinkled his nose and said unhappily, "You Chuan, why are you here?"

You Chuan's joy suddenly cooled, and the smile on his face froze. He said faintly, "The Witch King ordered me to take you back to the Ten Thousand Poison Cave."

"No, I won't go back!" Chi Meng took a step back and shook his head hurriedly.

Chapter 190 Transferred from Zhang Zifan

You Chuan's expression was slightly cold. "Why? Are you still looking for the Bad Commander? The Witch King is his subordinate. It's useless to look for him. It's better not to waste your time."

Chi Meng shook his head firmly, "Chi Li is now occupying the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, what's the point of me going back? You Chuan, go, I won't go back with you, one day, I will find a way to rescue my father."

Seeing Chi Meng was so persistent, You Chuan had no choice but to persuade her any further.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and neither of them spoke. At this time, Su Ming spoke up, "Brother Youchuan, there is no rush to bring Chi Meng back to Raojiang. You still need to tell the Buliang Commander about this matter."

"Oh? What does this have to do with Bad Commander?"

Su Ming smiled gently and explained, "Chi Meng's father is also the leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, and Chi Li is the Witch King. They are all subordinates of the Buliang Commander. Chi Meng is now with me, and the Buliang Commander obeys my orders."

"You want to take Chi Meng back to the Ten Thousand Poison Cave. I have no objection, but you must first inform the Buliang Commander. There is a conflict among his subordinates, and he should come forward to resolve it. I wonder if you are satisfied with this answer?"

Saying this shows sincerity.

When Chi Meng heard that Su Ming had no objection to You Chuan taking her away, her cheeks puffed up immediately. Then, when she heard that the Bad Leader had to come forward, her face changed instantly. Her eyes curved into crescents and she put her arms around his arm.

Realizing that Su Ming had no hostility towards him, You Chuan's attitude also softened. Although he also knew that the person in front of him was the one Chi Meng liked, he was not hostile to Su Ming.

It's a pity that the childhood sweetheart was no match for the love from heaven, and with all my love, I can only guard him silently.

"Has the Bad Leader been dealt with? Where is he?" Seeing Chi Meng standing next to Su Ming, clinging to him, You Chuan felt a slight pain in his heart and asked directly.

Hearing this answer, Su Ming smiled faintly, "I don't know where the bad commander is, but he should be back soon. Did the wizard king stipulate a time for you to bring Chi Meng back?"

You Chuan hesitated for a moment, wanting to say yes, but his eyes subconsciously fell on Chi Meng again, and he gently uttered two words, "No."

Su Ming's smile widened as he said in a deep voice, "In that case, Brother You might as well stay in Luoyang first and wait for the Bad Commander to come back. Then he can come forward. In this way, the matter between Chi Meng's father and the Witch King can be completely resolved. What do you think?"

This?

You Chuan showed hesitation and was about to refuse, but Su Ming continued, "Chi Meng has been in Luoyang for a year. She is surrounded by people from the Central Plains and has no one to talk to. You are here to help her relieve her boredom and see the prosperity of Luoyang."

This sentence made You Chuan unable to say any words of refusal. He could only nod silently after thinking for a while.

Su Ming took a few steps forward and patted his shoulder affectionately. "I guess you just came to Luoyang and are not familiar with this place. Come walk around with us."

You Chuan's face froze, as if he was a little overwhelmed by Su Ming's enthusiastic attitude, but Chi Meng was beside him, and he couldn't refuse, so he could only bite the bullet and follow them.

If You Chuan knew the saying that if someone shows kindness to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief, he should have known that Su Ming had plans for him, or at least his purpose was not simple.

Before, Su Ming didn’t have much thought about Chi Meng, because he already had Li Wentong, who was proficient in witchcraft, by his side, and he no longer needed her. Facing Yuan Tiangang, people below the Great Heavenly Rank were not qualified to participate in the battle.

Therefore, he planned to send Chi Meng away to prevent him from becoming Li Xingyun's helper and interfering with his plans.

But the appearance of You Chuan changed his mind. Compared to Chi Meng, You Chuan is a genuine master of the Great Heavenly Rank. If he can make use of Chi Meng, win over You Chuan and increase his own combat power, his chances of winning will be higher.

Otherwise, why would Su Ming bother to keep him in Luoyang? Wouldn't it be better to just let him take Chi Meng away?

With his strength, Chi Meng will definitely not be able to escape.

Su Ming himself, together with Li Wentong, the empress, Yelu Zhiwu, and You Chuan, make up almost five great celestial masters, and the lineup is already luxurious enough.

It's a pity that all the thirty-six captains of the Tiangang army under Yuan Tiangang have not appeared yet. No one knows which masters are hiding among them. Meng Po, Li Siyuan and the four corpse ancestors are enough to give Su Ming a hard time.

Precisely because he was afraid of this strength, Su Ming planned to pretend to be friendly with Yuan Tiangang for the time being and not to completely break off relations with him.

Faced with the outburst of bad people, everyone in this world must kneel.

With his deliberate planning, Su Ming was not without a chance of winning.

At this time, Chi Meng had not completely broken off relations with You Chuan, and the relationship between the two was still pretty good. With Su Ming here, Chi Meng didn't want to dwell on the past, so the atmosphere among everyone was still normal.

After strolling around for a whole morning, everyone felt a little hungry, so Su Ming stopped strolling and took them back to the imperial city.

Looking at the magnificent and luxurious imperial city in front of him, You Chuan was shocked for the first time. Before this, he had only seen the Luoyang Imperial City from afar and had never been inside.

However, after he came in, he realized how insignificant he was. There was such a huge and magnificent city in the world.

At this time, the Luoyang Imperial City still retained most of the buildings from the Sui and Tang dynasties. It was huge in scale and far more magnificent than the Forbidden City of later generations.

You Chuan, who was born in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, had naturally never seen such a thing before, and was inevitably shocked.

……

Three days after the wedding, Su Ming continued to attend court meetings. The court officials had been busy with the wedding for almost two months. After returning from the three-day holiday, many people still looked exhausted.

The court officials just discussed some things briefly and then left the court and returned to the government office to do their work.

In Qianqiu Palace, Su Ming looked at Zhang Zifan, who was thin and had dark circles under his eyes, and asked in surprise, "Brother Zhang, I haven't seen you for a few days. Why have you become so thin?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zifan subconsciously touched his waist, with a trace of fear on his face, "Brother Li, this is too scary, women are really too scary."

"What's wrong with Lin Xuan again?" Su Ming didn't notice his actions and subconsciously thought of Lu Linxuan.

Zhang Zifan's face turned grim, and he started to complain on the spot, "You don't know, these past few days, Qingguo Qingcheng has been pestering me so much that I can't get out of bed, and Lin Xuan gets angry all the time, and I'm stuck in the middle, it's really hard to be on both sides."

After saying this, Zhang Zifan let out a long sigh.

Hearing this, Su Ming couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder with a look of sympathy. This is the fate of a husband who loses his authority.

If his martial arts skills were high enough, he could have defeated Qingguo Qingcheng directly, and there wouldn't be so many problems. Not everyone can be like him.

Zhang Zifan's eyes turned and stopped on him, begging sadly, "Brother Li, please save me. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't live much longer."

"this?"

Su Ming seemed to be in a difficult situation on the surface, but he was actually very happy. He was worried that he would not be able to find a chance to transfer him out, but now one of them had come to him.

After his earnest pleading, Su Ming finally came up with a solution.

"Brother Zhang, the Khitan envoy will be returning home soon. The court has no experience in this area. I plan to send you to Khitan to preside over the establishment of border trade. What do you think?"
