"Stupid woman, you have to listen to me this time."

"You are stupid, you damned vulgar and dirty man." Wu Zhao cursed wantonly, but her eyes and mouth were full of happy smiles. After all, this man did not really hurt her.

Haha! Dog man, little man, the little man who truly belongs to me, Wu Zhao.

"Hey, be gentle, you are a dog, why are you biting me?"

Wu Zhao struggled a few times, and then let Wu Ming imprint his teeth on her snow-white, naked shoulders, allowing this man to bite her randomly as if he was asserting his sovereignty.

Chapter 3: Entering the Palace

At dawn, the two adults, who had been fighting all night, returned to Chang'an City from the wilderness.

Chang'an in this world looks like a giant beast sitting or lying in the wilderness from afar. Only when you look closely can you feel its grandeur and domineering aura.

It looks majestic on the outside, but inside it is a bustling city with orderly streets and intersecting avenues that can accommodate ten horses running side by side. One glance will tell that the entire Chang'an City was built by a famous architect.

Wu Zhao was dressed neatly, with her graceful body covered by a loose cloak. Even Wu Ming had changed into a common warrior robe on the market, and his eye-catching short hair was covered by a futou (hat).

Both of them were people with profound skills. They walked hand in hand through the street corners, and each time they raised their feet, they were always more than ten feet away. After about fifty breaths, the two of them appeared outside the Tang Imperial Palace.

As the core of Chang'an City, this place is a symbol of power and majesty of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The interior is magnificent and golden, with a magnificent atmosphere. The palace walls are so high that they almost reach the clouds. Even a congenital warrior needs external help to cross the palace walls.

The warriors in this world are divided into realms, from low to high, namely acquired, innate, master, grand master, land immortal and celestial being. After the celestial being is the realm of broken void.

Wu Zhao is still at the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Demon Strategy, and her strength is in the late stage of Grandmaster.

As for Wu Ming, he had mastered the Four Illuminating Divine Art and was already a grandmaster at the beginning, but with his current level of skill, he was at the middle stage of the grandmaster.

After mastering the Four-Point Divine Art, his martial arts moves became natural, just like a martial arts saint in the world. This is why he was able to fight Wu Zhao to a draw.

However, although the Four Lights Divine Art has a high starting point, it is extremely difficult to break through the barriers and go further. You must collect more martial arts techniques and increase your martial arts experience before you can innovate and find your own way.

Wu Ming had already prepared himself mentally for this. It was impossible for him to be pessimistic since he still had the system.

"No way, dear sister Mei Niang, you are the queen of the dynasty. Do you have to crawl through a dog hole when you return to your own home?"

"This is a secret passage, not a dog hole. If you try to fool me again, be careful. I will chop off your dog head with my Heavenly Demon Slash."

"I'm so scared. I wonder, Sister Mei Niang, do you want to cut off the upper head or the lower head?" Wu Ming patted his chest and followed Wu Zhao into the secret passage, but his big hand was placed on Wu Zhao's buttocks in an unruly manner.

"Behave yourself. I'm warning you again. You must abide by the rules when you enter the palace. There are many experts in the palace. If you break the rules, both you and I will be finished!" Wu Zhao twisted her hips, and seeing that he was persistent in pestering her, she just let him do it.

"My dear, I just realized that you are a love troublemaker. What you just said was not you, but you and me, right? Don't worry, from now on, if anyone dares to hurt you, I will make him live a life worse than death." Wu Ming was really moved. This was Wu Zhao, the Great Saint Emperor Zetian, the most ruthless woman, and she actually cared about me.

"Don't let me down!" Wu Zhao said in a charming voice, showing weakness again. By chance, Wu Ming became the softest part of her heart. Wu Ming's appearance was sudden and mysterious. To Wu Zhao, she felt that Wu Ming would fly away from her at any time.

Not long after, the two of them went through a secret passage and came directly to the Kunning Palace where Wu Zetian lived.

In the huge palace, there was only one woman sleeping on her side on the bed. Her appearance was exactly the same as Wu Zhao. When she saw Wu Zhao coming back, she opened her eyes, first stood up and stepped back to the bed to take off her clothes, then put on a set of beautiful clothes that she had found under the bed. Then she casually wiped her face with her white hands, and her appearance changed immediately.

"I've seen the saint."

"No gifts!"

"Gongsun Lan, also known as Gongsun Da Niang, is my trusted subordinate and has a certain reputation in the martial arts world. She is an expert in disguise and sword dancing. She has several sisters under her command and they have set up an organization called Red Shoes to help me make money. You have to know that politics and money are inseparable." Wu Zhao walked behind the screen and introduced herself to Wu Ming while changing her clothes.

Wu Ming fixed his eyes on Gongsun Lan and saw that this woman had a well-proportioned figure, a face as rosy as peach blossoms, eyes that sparkled with tenderness, and a high bun on her head. Her pretty face, illuminated by the indoor lights, looked like a lotus with dew on it or a peach blossom after the rain.

Under Wu Ming's inquiring gaze, she did not feel shy at all. She looked up at him calmly and confidently, perhaps because she was also curious about his identity.

Wu Ming knew of Gongsun Lan, but that was just knowing. This character appeared in Master Gu's novel, The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng series. He was originally a gangster organization, but now in this world, he has become Wu Zhao's subordinate.

By the way, this world seems a bit complicated.

During a previous chat, he had heard Wu Zhao compare him with the current imperial swordsmanship master Gai Nie, saying that with his current strength, Gai Nie might not be his opponent.

Gai Nie, whether he is an opponent or not is not important, what is important is that the opponent is called Gai Nie, who is good at 100-step flying sword and comes from the hidden school Zongheng. From that time on, Wu Ming understood one thing, this world is not ordinary: now there is another Gongsun Lan, which means that people in Lu Xiaofeng's series also exist in this world.

If you think about it more deeply, people like Guo Jing and Huang Rong may also be there.

Complex, too complex.

"Dong dong!"

Just as Wu Zhao changed into a luxurious phoenix dress and walked out from behind the screen, there was a knock on the door. Gongsun Lan gently pushed open the high door, and a young woman in an official uniform walked in. Judging from her appearance, she was obviously not very old.

"Wan'er, what's the matter?"

"Reporting to the Saint, Gai Nie has defected from the palace and taken the Thirteenth Prince with him."

"What did you say? Defection? Li Tianming?"

"Yes." Shangguan Wan'er responded with her head down, not daring to look directly at the furious Wu Zhao. The same went for Gongsun Lan beside her.

Wu Ming, on the other hand, looked at Wu Zhao with great interest, seeing her majestic appearance and her breasts trembling due to anger. To be honest, Wu Zhao's pair of breasts would be at least 36D according to the later classification.

It looks good!

Wu Zhao keenly noticed the little man's gaze, turned her head and glared at him fiercely. Her coquettish posture immediately reminded Wu Ming of the other party's wild behavior when he was in love.

After taking a look, Wu Zhao suppressed the anger in her heart and her mind became clear.

"Since he has escaped, catch him back."

"Send someone to contact Liusha. The Zongheng clan is in constant internal strife. Wei Zhuang should like this business very much."

"As for the Imperial Dynasty, go and notify the Yin-Yang family. You can arrange the rest on your own. If you want to see him alive, you must find his body. Forget it, just kill him directly."

Wu Zhao quickly arranged things, and Wu Ming only found out later that this Tang Tianming was the son of Emperor Gaozong and a talented woman in the harem. This talented woman was later named Concubine Li, and her real name was Gongsun Liji.

The most important thing is that this Concubine Li was very friendly with the Queen Wang who had just been deposed.

Chapter 4: Understanding

"call!"

Wu Ming came out of the Royal Library and took a deep breath. Now he finally had a better understanding of this world.

In the world of martial arts, all kinds of monsters and demons emerge.

The only thing that made Wu Ming happy was that in this world, Tang style prevailed, even more excessive than in his previous life. Women dressed relatively boldly. Take the imperial palace for example, no matter whether they were palace maids or concubines, they all wore half-exposed clothes, which was very pleasing to the eyes.

As for Wu Zhao, at his request, she took the dignified route. Even if she wanted to show off, she could only show a little. Others had no right to interfere, but he still had to control himself as a woman.

Three days had passed since he entered the palace that day, and now he held the position of the chief of the Plum Blossom Internal Guard.

The Plum Blossom Inner Guards were a new organization that Wu Zhao ordered to be established after consultation with Li Zhi. It was similar to the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty. Although the current Plum Blossom Inner Guards had few people, Wu Ming could be said to have made a rapid progress.

The Plum Blossom Internal Guards were directly under the emperor's command and their function was to investigate and punish corrupt officials who broke laws and regulations. The head of the Internal Guards, Wu Ming, was known as the Dageling and all members had plum blossom tattoos on their left arms.

The one who wins the next level in the competition is called a cabinet leader.

The official positions of the internal guards are naturally lower than those of the ministers, and they are not allowed to be rude to the ministers without the permission of their superiors.

However, the ministers had no power to deal with the internal guards and had to report to the emperor for handling. This design was also to allow both parties to check and balance each other.

Before the Plum Blossom Guards, similar organizations included the Li Jing Men, the Bad People, and the Six Gates.

These three forces all came from Li Shiming. According to Wu Ming's understanding, they can be compared to the Jinyiwei, East and West Factories, and Six Gates of the Ming Dynasty.

The Six Gates are mainly aimed at the Jianghu. Since ancient times, there have been many cases of knights breaking the law with force. These people rely on their own strength to bully the people. Over time, it is easy for the people to resent. The people in power may not care about the people's thoughts, but they care about the stability of their own power.

Therefore, the Six Gates are mostly responsible for handling these matters. Of course, some of their functions are also to investigate cases. Murder, theft and other illegal and criminal matters are all the responsibility of the detectives.

The functions of Li Jing Men and Bad People are relatively overlapping, and most of their members are orphans, and few people know them. Their backgrounds are also very simple. They have received rigorous training since childhood, and their original intention is to serve the emperor. Their main work is investigation, arrest, interrogation, and assassination.

Yuan Tiangang is in charge of the Bad People, while the person in charge of Li Jingmen is the powerful eunuch in the palace.

The emergence of the Plum Blossom Guards was initiated by Wu Zhao, with two purposes: one was to build up power for herself, and the other was to find a job for Wu Ming and give him a suitable identity to walk around in the palace.

Walking around the palace was Wu Ming's privilege. In the entire palace, among all the men with penises, except the emperor and the immature boys, only Wu Ming could do so, because of the martial arts he practiced.

The Four Illuminations Technique can only be practiced by a virgin. Once the virginity is lost, the power will immediately dissipate.

The masters in the palace would naturally be able to tell if his power was dispersed. If his power was not dispersed, in the eyes of the world, he would be a fake man and a real eunuch.

Who would have thought that, in private, he always made Wu Zhao cry out in anger.

The establishment of the Plum Blossom Guards did not cause much waves. To those ministers, they already had the Li Jing Men and the Bad People, so having more Plum Blossom Guards would not have much impact. The most important thing was that Wu Zetian had just defeated Queen Wang, and a number of bigwigs such as Zhang Sun Wuji were also affected.

Coming out to stop it at this time, do you think the new queen’s sword is not sharp enough?

"Aren't you afraid that I will cut you...ah...!"

"Sister Mei Niang, I feel that as the passive party at this moment, you should be more cautious in your words." Wu Ming pressed Wu Zhao's waist and stopped the impact.

"Hmph, I give you some color and you want to open a dyeing factory." Wu Zhao hated his smugness, but she could not stand the emptiness either. The win-win way was to take the initiative, so she turned over with all her strength, pressed Wu Ming under her, and sat down with her hips raised.

Wu Ming did not resist, he put his hands behind his head, looked up at Wu Zhao, whose chin was dripping with sweat, and watched the sweat flow from her round chin to her fair and slender neck, and then from her neck into the deep ravine between the snow-capped mountains. His eyes became blurred, and if it were not for the still swollen feeling of hardness, he would almost think he was in a dream.

"…Well…you have to leave the palace!"

"Are you willing to let me out?"

"You have to be willing to give it up even if you don't want to. You are not a real eunuch. You can't stay in the palace forever. It's okay if it's a short time, but if it's a long time, someone will definitely use this to rape me."

"Am I not raping you?"

"I'm telling you something serious. I have a lot of enemies. If you stand on my side, you'll have to adapt to it. From now on, assassinations and conspiracies will be very close to you. I'll give you a chance to regret it. After you leave the palace this time, as long as you side with the emperor, I...ah...be gentle, I'm going crazy."

Wu Zhao raised her hand and patted Wu Ming's chest. She looked so charming that Wu Ming was very excited.

"I've already caught you, how can I let you go? Protect yourself. I'll help you with the rest. When you no longer need these powers and your heart is completely calm, you and I will work together to break the void and see the world outside."

Wu Ming straightened his back and spoke madly, saying endless sweet words, which made Wu Zhao feel happy and moved. At this moment, she even wanted to retire with Wu Ming.

But as soon as this thought came to her mind, she quickly dismissed it. She was Wu Zetian, and her ambition was innate. She had been poisoned long ago, and power was her antidote. Wu Ming was just a tonic when she was tired.

She was just curious about Wu Ming's mystery, very curious.

Ever since she met Wu Ming, she has often reminded herself that only she knows how much truth and how much falsehood these words are.

"You still have the right to walk around in the palace. After all, the Plum Blossom Guard is located in this palace. But you must understand one thing. Apart from me and the people around me, you must not touch other women in the palace."

"hey-hey!"

Wu Ming just chuckled and didn't say any false words like "I only love you."

Wu Zhao rolled her eyes at him and said nothing more. As a woman in the imperial palace, she knew men very well.
