Chapter 1:

In the fourth year of the Kaiyuan era of the Tang Dynasty (716 AD), Emperor Xuanzong had been on the throne for many years. Since Empress Wei
poisoned Emperor Zhongzong in the fourth year of the Jinglong era (710 AD), Li Longji, who was then only the Prince of Linzi, executed Empress Wei and supported his father Li Dan as emperor. Longji was made crown prince
and later succeeded to the throne through abdication. After several years of reforming the bureaucracy and rectifying the officialdom,
the power of Princess Taiping, the aunt of Empress Wu Zetian, was gradually eliminated, and the Tang Dynasty began to show signs of prosperity.

Liangzhou in Hexi was known as the "Ancient Capital of the Four Liang, Metropolis of Hexi". To the southwest, it bordered the majestic Qilian Mountains, and
several roads led directly to the borders of Tubo and Tuyuhun. These routes through the Qilian Mountains in southern Vietnam
connected , or with the Qiangzhong and Lingzhou routes of the Silk Road. Since ancient times, they have been described as "a vital passage through the vast desert, controlling the throat of five prefectures
," and there has always been a saying: "To protect Qin and Long, one must secure Hexi; to secure Hexi, one must repel the Western Regions."

However, starting in the autumn of the second year of the Kaiyuan era (714), the Tubo (Tibetan)
forces
Hexi Corridor. The court was forced to appoint the formidable general Guo Zhiyun as the military governor of Hexi, stationed in Liangzhou, leading the Chishui Army, with 33,000 soldiers and 13,000 horses, to ensure the Hexi Corridor remained secure. This prevented the Tubo from ever crossing the Hexi
Corridor, despite their constant harassment.

The Tubo commander, Lun Mangre, unwilling to give up, convened his advisors to discuss strategies for defeating the Tang army
for many days, but to no avail. Therefore, a large reward notice was posted in various regions under the jurisdiction of Tibet to find a brilliant plan to break through the Hexi Corridor. More than
a month and no one answered the call. Lun Mangre gradually lost hope in the plan. Unexpectedly, a month later, a high-ranking Tibetan
Tantric monk, along with several disciples, resolutely answered the call to arms. Upon hearing this, the commander, Mongols, dispatched
his strategist, Shang Jiezan, to receive them. Shang Jiezan, after listening to the monk's plan in a side hall of the commander's residence, was astonished and said, "This is
a matter of great military importance, not child's play. Your plan is utterly absurd. Your method is unheard of and unseen before. Can it truly
be implemented?"

The Tibetan Tantric monk replied, "As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. Strategist, you specialize in military strategy and tactics, while we…
hehehe . Enough said. Strategist, let's see the results. However, once we succeed and disrupt the morale of the Tang army, after the city is breached
, please grant us a small request, Commander-in-Chief."

"Speak freely," Shang Jiezan said, "I will inform the Commander-in-Chief."

"I've heard that there's a renowned ancient Buddhist temple called Dayun Temple in Liangzhou City, a perfect
place . Could we, after our mission is accomplished, entrust the management of Dayun Temple to us?" asked the Tibetan Tantric monk.

"I see. I was wondering what demands you were making. Such a small matter doesn't even require the Marshal's approval; I can agree
to anything. But how long will it take for your plan to succeed?" asked Huo Yunshangjiezan.

"At least a year, at most two years. We will surely throw the Tang army into chaos," the Tibetan Tantric monk said confidently
.

"Very well, let you try it out. Our army can use this opportunity to prepare and rest for a while.
If you need any cooperation or secret reports, you can discuss them in detail with Vice General Bendayan, or you can contact him by carrier pigeon
. I'll have him come over now to discuss the details of our cooperation," said Huo Yunshangjiezan.

"Alright. We'll wait here for General Bendayan to arrive so we can discuss the next steps in detail," said the high-ranking Tibetan Buddhist
monk...

In late spring of the fifth year of the Kaiyuan era, on this day, the wind was gentle and warm, the grass was lush and the birds were singing, and the sky was cloudless. It was the market day in Liangzhou City, held every five
days The city was bustling with activity, with merchants and vendors lining the streets, one stall after another,
and the vendors shouting their wares at the top of their lungs. Merchants and travelers came in an endless stream, with camel caravans from the Western Regions and Persia
carrying all sorts of rare and exotic items that were hard to find in the Central Plains of Tang Dynasty. Peddlers and laborers moved back and forth. Every household in the city
came out to buy daily necessities or to join in the fun and see something new. Neighbors from the surrounding villages also flocked to
the city to visit the market.

Of course, many of those visiting the market were women who were busy with household chores, and many young girls from their boudoirs also secretly slipped out of their rooms
out of curiosity to buy their favorite cosmetics, silks, and satins. This
also attracted many idle and lecherous men from the marketplace, who came out to seek out beautiful women. Once
they found they would take advantage of the bustling crowd to squeeze in and grope her.

Around midday, a group of six people walked from the direction of the General's Mansion, attracting considerable attention.
Leading was a graceful and elegant woman with a high-bun hairstyle adorned with various jewels,
gold hairpins, and swaying hair ornaments, exuding a luxurious and noble air. Her features were exquisite, her eyes sparkling. She wore a short-sleeved, lotus-
silk blouse with silver embroidery, and a purple embroidered skirt that covered her chest. Her full, rounded breasts were half-concealed, alluringly alluring, and she wore a single-layered
emerald green shawl that swayed gently with her steps. In her left hand, she held the hand of a young child, who was excitedly looking
around . Judging from his intimate manner with the elegant woman, he was likely her own flesh and blood. Behind her followed two
maids dressed as servants, and behind them two tall, burly male guards dressed as servants. Judging from their
brisk , they were clearly skilled martial artists. It seemed they were there specifically to protect the mother and child.

Because the group's bright and eye-catching attire attracted the attention of passersby, who stopped to stare
and whisper among themselves.

"Hey, Brother Liu, isn't that elegantly dressed lady Lady Lan, the wife of General Guo Zhiyun, the military governor of Hexi
?" a scruffy-looking man with a mustache asked a mature-looking
man .

"Yes, who else could be so elegant and beautiful? Everyone says she's the most
beautiful woman in Liangzhou City, and it seems she truly lives up to her reputation," the man surnamed Liu exclaimed.

"Ah, it's truly lamentable. My wife is like heaven and earth compared to her.
Look at her flawless skin, her exquisite beauty—it's enough to make anyone envious," the lewd,
middle-aged man drooled.

"Do you want to die? How dare you say such things? If someone hears you and reports you to the authorities, you'll be beaten dozens of times
! Such a noble, fairy-like woman is not someone lowly like us can lay a finger on," the
man surnamed in a low voice.

"Yes, yes, brother is right," the lewd man with the mustache nodded in agreement, but his gaze
still wouldn't leave Madam Lan's graceful and alluring figure even for a moment.

Madam Lan and her entourage gradually squeezed into the bustling market crowd. Her goal, of course, was to find stalls
selling spices, rouge, and novel gold and silver ornaments brought by camel caravans from the Western Regions and Persia. Every time she found one...
Madam Lan couldn't tear herself away from the stalls; women are naturally drawn to beauty, and even the most noble are not immune. She would
tirelessly and curiously select and buy items she liked.

However, the little one beside her was not so content. He hadn't come out with his mother just to
accompany her and buy things he had no interest in. His little mouth was pouting,
and although his mother was holding his hand, his head was constantly looking elsewhere, searching for something new and interesting.

Suddenly, a burst of cheers came from the other street across the street,
instantly After looking around for a while without finding anything, he tugged at Madam Lan's hand and asked, "
Mother, what's going on over there? It looks fun."

"Where? Hmm…it looks like a juggling act," Madam Lan replied after glancing in that direction,
but her attention quickly returned to selecting spices from the Western Regions.

"Mother, I want to see. Let's go, don't buy these things, they're so boring," the little one pleaded, tugging at
Madam 's hand.

"Xiang'er, be good. I'll go with you to see the show after I've finished shopping, okay?" Madam Lan said perfunctorily, her eyes
still fixed on the unique sachets from the Western Regions.

"No, let's go see it now, otherwise the show will be over by the time you finish shopping,"
said Xiao Guo Xiang.

"But if I go with you to see the show, the sachets you like will probably be sold to someone else by the time we get back
. What should we do then?" Madam Lan asked, troubled.

"Miss, how about I take the young master to see the show? If you're worried about his safety, you can have Desheng
go with him too," said a maid. She had come with Madam Lan as part of her dowry and had been
by her side , so she still called her "Miss" out of habit.

"Hmm, that's a good idea. Yu'er must keep a close eye on Xiang'er; he's very naughty right now. Desheng, you go and protect the young
master. I have Tiancheng and Yan'er with me. Besides, there won't be any danger in broad daylight
," Madam Lan instructed.

"Yes, Madam," replied the tall guard named Desheng.

"Great, great! Mother, let's go see the street performances first. Come find us after you've finished shopping
. Aunt Yu'er, let's go!" Little Guo Xiang excitedly called to Yu'er, grabbing her hand and leading the way. Yu'er had
been with Madam Lan since childhood, and they were like sisters, so he didn't treat her as a maid but always called her
Aunt Yu'er. Since Little Guo Xiang was born, Madam Lan had entrusted the care of his most trusted Yu'er to take care of his daily life.
Another younger girl, Yan'er, took over Yu'er's responsibility for taking care of Madam Lan.

Thus, the group split into two groups: one group accompanied Little Guo Xiang to see the street performances, while the other group
stayed behind to accompany Madam Lan in shopping for novelties from the Western Regions and Persia. Madam Lan selected and bought items along the street,
then handed them to Tian Cheng to carry. Before he knew it, Tian Cheng was carrying
a , as the packages in his hands often brushed against pedestrians, drawing glares from them and making
Tian Cheng quite embarrassed. As he carried more and more things, getting heavier and heavier, he gradually began to
struggle . But Madam Lan showed no sign of stopping. The three of them had already strolled from East Street to West Street, leaving Tian
Cheng exhausted and cursing:

"Damn it, that grandson Desheng is so lucky! He's going to see the acrobatics with the young master so easily, unlike me?
My back aches, my hands and feet are numb." With these thoughts in mind, his pace slowed, and he fell
further and further behind Madam Lan and her companion.

Suddenly, a long neighing of a horse rang out, followed by gasps, cries, and curses from the crowd
. Then, the crowd erupted into chaos, scattering in all directions.

Madam Lan turned in shock towards the scene of the incident. It turned out that
the two horses pulling a two-horse carriage carrying goods in front of a shop called "Zhuangji Fur Shop" not far away had suddenly become frightened and were charging towards them like madmen .
Pedestrians who couldn't dodge in time were being knocked down, screaming in agony. Some were even trampled by the falling hooves or run over by the wheels,
their skin torn open and their cries of agony filling the air. The crowd on the street was immediately terrified by the horrific sight and scattered frantically in all directions.
The flow of people surged towards Madam Lan like a tidal wave.

Since this was the narrowest commercial street, the two-horse carriage had barely left any
space on either side, so the roadside stalls were overturned, and goods were scattered everywhere. But people were
focused on escaping; no one had time to pick up the pieces. Seeing this, the shops along the street, fearing the panicked crowd would squeeze in and steal
their goods, quickly closed their doors. This prevented
the crowd from hiding in the shops lining the narrow street, forcing them to run desperately towards the alleyway at the next corner.

Tian Cheng also ran with the panicked crowd, but the bundle he was carrying was too cumbersome
to discard —it was something his wife had spent a fortune on. He was frustrated and could only watch helplessly as Madam Lan and the others drifted
further and further away, eventually disappearing from sight in the crowd.

Yan'er, pulling Madam Lan along, ran breathlessly, but being weak women, their strength waned, and they were quickly
overtaken and left behind. The carriage was about to arrive, but they were still several feet away from the corner
. Madam Lan's heart pounded with fear, her legs weakening. If things continued like this, the two
frightened horses would crash into them in moments.

Just at this critical moment, someone suddenly called out, "Madam, come here quickly!"

Madam Lan turned her head and saw two young men standing between two three-story buildings on the street, carrying
a large wooden door panel blocking the gap between the buildings and waving at them. It seemed they recognized her as the wife of the military governor, hence
their respect.

Without thinking too much, Madam Lan and Yan'er ran over and crouched down to squeeze into the gap. The gap
was about three feet wide, just enough for one or two people to pass through comfortably. As soon as they entered, they were hit by a strong smell of urine. She
then understood why someone had blocked the gap with a door panel. It was probably because the owner of the building found that people in the market couldn't find
a latrine and had to use this secluded gap to relieve themselves. Madam Lan quickly covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve. She was
safe unbearable. So she had Yan'er go ahead to scout ahead while she followed behind, continuing to
walk forward along the gap, trying to get through this nauseating place. Fortunately, the other exit was just ten paces away.

The two men who had been carrying the door panel put it down and followed them in, grumbling behind, "These two
women are so unreasonable. We helped them, and they didn't even say thank you? Are they just going to turn around and leave like this?"

Madam Lan, a well-educated and reasonable woman, felt somewhat wronged upon hearing this. She had actually intended to express
her gratitude after leaving this disgusting latrine. However, since they cared so much, she couldn't refuse. So she
stopped , turned back, and, despite the stench, nodded and said, "Thank you both for your kindness. I originally intended to
thank you after we left."

Taking advantage of Madam Lan's pause, the two men leaned closer, their smiles ambiguous. "Oh? How do you plan to
thank us?"

Madam Lan hadn't paid close attention to their appearance in her haste to escape, but now she saw them clearly:
around thirty years old, with shifty eyes and frivolous speech, she knew they were no good people. Not wanting to
entangle herself , she reached into her sleeve. She had intended to give them more silver as a token of gratitude, but then realized she had overspent,
and her hundred taels of silver were almost gone; she only had ten taels left in her sleeve. However, this was enough to express her gratitude. She took out the ten
taels of silver from the bank and said, "I have just spent quite a bit of money, and this is all I have left. I
hope you will forgive me."

One of the men, the one in front, turned around with a grin and winked at the other before feigning
anger, saying, "You look so elegant and noble, how can you be so stingy? We saved your life! And you only
offer ten taels? Is your life only worth ten taels? And you say you only have ten taels left? Who are you trying to fool? Nobody would
believe you."

Madam Lan was startled. She had thought that the two men knew her identity and that's why they had helped her, but it seemed
that wasn't the case at all. They didn't seem to know her identity and were after the silver; it seemed they wanted to
extort money from her.

Before Madam Lan could speak, Yan'er, who had already reached the other end of the stairwell, retorted angrily, "
How dare you ! Do you know who you're talking to?"

Madam Lan was usually gentle and kind, disliking to use her status to intimidate others. Besides, these two men had indeed saved her,
so giving them more money wouldn't be a big deal. She turned to stop Yan'er, saying, "Yan'er, don't be
rude . How can you speak to our benefactors like that?"

She then bowed to the two men, saying, "Could you two benefactors please come with me to my residence to get some more money as a token of
our gratitude?"

The leading man, surprisingly, shook his head, saying, "That won't do. What if you don't give it to us when we're on your turf
? We're not stupid. You should send one of your less-than-sensible maids to get the money; we'll
wait for her here."

"What?" Madam Lan and Yan'er exclaimed in surprise. No one in Liangzhou City had ever dared to be so disrespectful to
Madam . They actually wanted to take her hostage to demand money?

"See? I told you so! You don't want to give us any more money, do you? Why are you so surprised?"
the leading man provoked.

"You..." Yan'er was about to retort when Madam Lan stopped her. Madam Lan turned to her and said, "Yan'er,
go find Yu'er quickly. She still has some silver on her. Remember to come back quickly." After saying that, she winked at Yan'er
, giving her a meaningful look.

Yan'er had been serving Madam Lan since she gave birth, for seven or eight years now, and she naturally understood the madam's
intentions . So she readily agreed, "Yes, Madam, I'll go right away."

After saying that, she hurriedly ran away through the other end of the building. She didn't intend to go all the way to find Yu'er;
instead, she wanted to quickly detour to the front street to find the guard Tian Cheng, and then call him here to teach these two
arrogant .

As Yan'er's hurried footsteps faded into the distance, the leading man turned and winked at another
man , then chuckled wickedly, "Alright, beautiful lady, give me these ten taels of silver.
You've been holding onto them for ages, and it seems you have no intention of giving them to us at all."

"Here, take it." Madam Lan extended her delicate hand and handed over the silver.
Even with her good manners, she was getting angry at this unreasonable man's repeated harassment. Clearly, this man was the one who refused to accept the silver because it was too little
, and had even held her hostage. Now, he had the audacity to accuse her of being unwilling to give it to him. She had never seen such a shameless man
in the world .

The man reached out to take it, but instead of grabbing the silver directly, he grasped Madam Lan's
delicate hand and began rubbing its smooth surface, saying, "Such tender skin. A beauty's
skin is so different from those common beauties."

Madam Lan was shocked; she hadn't expected this man to be so bold and frivolous. Before she
could react, the man suddenly pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.

"Hehe, you smell so good, but I don't mean anything by it. I just want to search your body to see if you
really haven't hidden any silver, as you said. If we brothers find out you've lied to us,
hehehe..."

"Ah...you...you're so rude..." Madam Lan was terrified. She had never encountered anything like this before
. Men were always so respectful to her; she was completely bewildered
and didn't know how to react.

The man, disregarding everything else, tightly embraced Madam Lan's slender waist with both arms, while
his lewd hands roamed all over her body. His right hand had already grasped and kneaded Madam Lan's plump buttocks
.

"Such perky, such plump and round buttocks, they feel wonderful to touch, hehehe."

Madam Lan was initially stunned by this sudden turn of events. After a moment, she reacted and opened her mouth to scream
for help, but at that moment, another man quickly stuffed a towel into her cherry-like mouth, preventing
her from making a sound. She could only desperately push away the man who was holding her tightly with her hands, but her good fortune didn't last long. Her hands were also tied up with ropes that
another man had prepared beforehand, rendering her unable to move.

The man said, "Alright, Second Brother, don't be so hasty. This isn't a place to linger. Let's quickly follow our
pre-arranged plan. We'll have plenty of time to get intimate with this beauty later." "

Hehe, I know, Third Brother. It's just that it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful woman, and I really
can't resist . I'll get down to business now." Saying this, he stopped stroking Madam Lan with his hands and instead squatted down to
tie Madam Lan's two long, slender legs, which were struggling, with a rope. Then, he took out a large cloth bag from his waist
and slipped it over Madam Lan's head, putting her into the bag.

Without hesitation, the two lifted the struggling and writhing cloth bag belonging to Madam Lan and vanished through
the gap in the building.

It took Yan'er about an incense stick's time to run from the winding back alley to the main street. The startled
carriage was long gone, but people were still discussing the dramatic scene, while
merchants shook their heads helplessly as they gathered up their scattered goods. Yan'er had no time to listen to their discussions;
she anxiously searched for Tian Cheng in the crowd. Finally, her efforts paid off, and after half an incense stick's time, she found Tian Cheng,
carrying his bag and also anxiously searching for them, not far from the gap in the building on the main street.

"Fool, over here!" Yan'er called out from afar upon seeing him.

"Where's Madam? Why are you alone?" Tian Cheng breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Yan'er, but not
seeing Madam Lan, he asked.

"Oh, don't mention it! Madam has been held hostage by two greedy fellows. I can't talk to you now, saving Madam
is the priority ," Yan'er said urgently.

Tian Cheng was startled by Yan'er's words, then angrily said, "What? Do they have a death wish? They
're really asking for it. Where are they now? Take me to find them!"

Yan'er pointed to a door panel blocking the gap between buildings not far away. Then she looked Tian Cheng up and down and said
, "They're right there, but Tian Cheng, can you fight both of them by yourself?"

"Don't talk so much, saving Madam is the priority. You'll find out whether you can beat them or not in a moment." Tian Cheng could
n't wait any longer. He grabbed his bag and ran towards the door panel between buildings, with Yan'er following closely behind.

Tian Cheng and his companion rushed to the crack in the building. Tian Cheng lifted the door panel and peered inside. Seeing no one, he
asked, "Nobody here? Is this Yan'er's place?"

"Yes, it is, but it smells so bad here, they wouldn't be waiting for us here. They should be waiting for us at another
exit . Let's hurry in, don't keep Madam waiting too long and make her suffer," Yan'er replied.

The two filed in, Yan'er leading the way. A moment later, they emerged from the back alley of the other exit, but they
didn't see Madam Lan or the two men. This back alley was mostly behind the houses on the main street, so it was secluded
and deserted . The two anxiously called out loudly and searched around, but after searching for a long time, they still couldn't find any
trace of Madam Lan.

Yan'er was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, still crying out, "Madam, Madam! Where
are ? Don't scare Yan'er..." ...
