Under the bright sun, the once bustling Chang'an Street was deserted at this moment.

The dilapidated banners of Fuwei Escort Bureau faced the strong wind, and the scorching sun seemed to be shining brightly, as if a storm was about to come.

Dressed in a blue suit, Yan Aonan calmly walked through the hall door, with stone lions on both sides leading the way. At the gate of Yan Mansion, the two father-in-laws from the palace greeted him with expressionless eyes.

"Miss Qi, you can't go." A light pink figure rushed out and fell at her feet. It was her personal maid Yue'er.

The father-in-laws looked a little impatient and looked back at the guards of Yan Mansion. Yan Aonan stopped, helped Yue'er up, and whispered in her ear: "Take those silver coins and go to Xingcun. Never want them again."

return."

Yan Aonan heavily supported Yue'er's delicate shoulders, calmed his eyes, and silently followed the two father-in-laws out of the door. He only heard a "pop" sound, and the gray door plaque of Fuwei Escort Agency across the road

, and fell down overwhelmed.

In the main hall of the Yan Mansion, the white-haired head of the family was sitting on a chair. He followed the sound, straightened his back, and looked at the people of the Yan Mansion sitting around with sad and angry eyes like the autumn wind.

He sighed softly and said: "The situation in Chang'an is about to change. I'm afraid Miss Seven will never come back. You should also collect your belongings and prepare to retire to your old home. Please leave me in charge in Chang'an."

The most beautiful woman in the Tang Dynasty

The first female official of the Tang Dynasty

The most talented woman in the Tang Dynasty

The first female arrester in the Tang Dynasty

The first female businesswoman in the Tang Dynasty

The first embroiderer in the Tang Dynasty

…

This most grand gathering of women in the Tang Dynasty was quietly held somewhere deep in the palace. They were all strange women who had been praised by His Majesty. Some were famous in the court, and some were famous among the people, but it was extremely rare for them to gather together.

Yan Aonan saw that her father-in-law beside her was holding a brocade cloth with the words "The First Female Escort of the Tang Dynasty" written on it, and her position was also at the back. Although she had traveled around the world all year round, she was still dissatisfied with this beautiful woman surrounded by flowers.

Very familiar. Many people have heard of his name but never seen him in person. I didn’t expect to have such an honor today.

The corrupt palace was filled with an old atmosphere. Three people walked out of the inner room. Two old men in black clothes with long gray beards. One of them held a sword across his chest, and the other held a yellow brocade box in his hand.

The one at the head turned out to be a monk, tall and compassionate.

Yan Aonan suddenly remembered that he was the empress Wu Zetian's imperial advisor, Shenxiu, and she had followed the family master on a escort trip for him many years ago.

Shenxiu looked at the beauties with a look of pity and deep unbearability. The old man holding the sword coughed lightly when he saw the opportunity.

Shenxiu paused for a moment, then moved forward a little and clasped his palms together: "Amitabha, the female donors have worked hard. Reincarnation is determined by destiny, and now only one of you has the opportunity to get out of here."

There was silence in the palace, and the women had different expressions on their faces. Some were tear-stained, some were panicked, some were lifeless, and some were smiling indifferently. Yan Aonan was silent.

The old man behind Shenxiu came forward and opened the brocade box. Inside the box, he saw a yellow brocade cloth on the bottom, and a jade pendant and a bracelet placed not very dazzlingly.

Most of the women were born into wealth, but the color of the jade was not of the highest quality. It was just a chaotic dark green, but it was carved in the shape of a five-clawed dragon. The bracelet was also made of the same texture, with a dull color, and was carved with a phoenix-shaped coil around it. After careful inspection, it was discovered that the phoenix was engraved around it.

There are nine tails.

The dragon and phoenix are all patterns used by the royal family, and everyone couldn't help being surprised.

The old man's eyes were sharp, he took out one of the phoenix bracelets and said: "A divine opportunity comes from heaven to choose the owner of the phoenix bracelets. Please try it out one by one. The chosen one, I have an important family responsibility to support you, and I can also save your life to thank you."

"

Bright eyes of all colors were staring at the phoenix bracelet. The air around it fluctuated slightly, just like the hearts of beauties whose lives were hanging by a thread. The candlelight wavered uncertainly, and the jade bracelet had a dark and inexplicable luster all over it.

The most beautiful woman in the Tang Dynasty was ranked first. She stretched out her slender jade hands. On her pale wrists, she had already worn several gold bracelets with extraordinary workmanship.

The phoenix bracelet was inserted into the wrist, tilted slightly without any fluctuation, and the old man signaled the father-in-law to "next". The beauty was frightened and pulled a handful of the jade bracelet hatefully. She couldn't help crying in pain, and she was so weak that it made people pity her.

"Next one." The father-in-law's footsteps moved lightly amidst the soul-stealing sound. The more than ten women behind him were lifeless. They were all stunningly talented and had their names in history, but they could only bloom like flowers here.

At the time of the year, I encountered the despair and death.

Shenxiu was speechless, but the two old men showed anxiety on their faces, and their eyes were scanning the women.

Yan Aonan stretched out his hand happily, with a white palm and slender fingertips. Although her grandmother, who lived in seclusion in Xingcun, had been taking medicine for her for many years, the palms of her sword-wielding palms and the fingertips of her dart-wielding fingers still had thin calluses.

She waited for a while but there was no response, and when she was about to take it off, the jade bracelet suddenly "bited" her wrist, getting tighter and tighter, even penetrating into the white and tender flesh.

Yan Aonan felt a huge pain in her wrist. Blood flowed out and wrapped around the bracelet. The phoenix body glowed with bursts of red light. She felt a trance, her head was faintly white, as if all the energy in her body was "

"Suck it in."

The old man in black was overjoyed. He took a step forward, held Yan Aonan's arm, turned back to Shenxiu and said, "That's her."

While Yan Aonan was dizzy, he could only hear footsteps and crying in the hall, and all the women in the hall were "invited" out one by one.

The old man holding the sword said with a "hum" in his nostrils: "A little female bodyguard is inferior to others in appearance and intelligence. Can she really take on this important task?"

Shenxiu showed a faint smile: "Fuwei Escort Agency is a virtuous person in the world. I have met this benefactor Yan. It is said that he has taken 1583 escorts in 10 years without a single miss. It should be relatively reliable. The master of the Phoenix Bracelet is chosen by God."

The other two old men stopped talking. Shenxiu looked steadily at the pale Yan Aonan and said, "Donor Yan, please come with us."

The figure was erratic, Yan Aonan's lips were as white as snow, and the jade bracelet filled with blood lay quietly on her wrist. The body of the phoenix was green, and the dark green inside the bracelet seemed to be faintly faint. She tried to take it out, but failed.

.She could only forcefully stabilize her body, and helplessly stepped forward to follow the three people.

"1300 years later?" Yan Aonan's cold face was full of shock.

"That's right, Miss Yan will treat it as a long-distance escort. Please keep this dragon pendant close to your body and deliver it to that person safely." The old man holding the box handed the dragon pendant over.

"No one has any last name?" This was the weirdest escort she had ever received in her life.

"The choice of the master of a dragon pendant is like a phoenix bracelet, with its own destiny. Miss Yan, the Dragon sect has a history of thousands of years. It is divided into the outer sect and the inner sect. No matter whether the years are good or bad, they are all based on 'Datong' and 'Yuanyi'

name."

Yan Aonan suddenly realized that Shenxiu had the title of Zen Master Datong.

"Those of the Long clan who are good at asking about heaven learned that there will be an unprecedented crisis of genocide 1300 years later. Only the Phoenix Bracelet and Dragon Pendant can help everyone survive the crisis. Donor Yan, don't worry, the Dragon Pendant will take the initiative to take you to get close to it."

The owner, please keep it close to the donor." Shenxiu warned again.

Traveling year after year, Yan Aonan has been busy almost all the time on the escort journey. She is well aware of people's mentality towards valuables. She restrained her emotions, smiled faintly, and asked professionally: "When will we set off."

Shenxiu looked at the gray sky outside the house and said: "Visions happen every day, benefactor, be prepared to set off immediately."

In November 705, Empress Wu died at the age of 82. Legendary women of the Tang Dynasty also mysteriously disappeared. People in the world rumored that they became Wu's burial objects, but who knows the truth.

Wu's death brought an end to the female dynasty of the Tang Dynasty. Later generations seemed unwilling to acknowledge the period of history that belonged to her, and divided the Tang Dynasty into the former Tang Dynasty and the later Tang Dynasty from before and after her reign.
