Tang riddles

Back in time to the early morning of August [-]th, the flying pigeon carrying the warrants of the three sect masters took off from Shen's mansion, spread its wings and flew towards Fan Yang's Changfeng Hall.When the flying pigeons traveled through the night with ease and arrived at the pigeon cage in the backyard of Changfengtang with a special light spot signal, the Changfengtang information officer guarding the pigeonhole was lying on the ground and sleeping soundly, with a jar of sake in hand.Not only him, but also several brothers who were on duty at night, also fell unconscious in the inner hall.

In the quiet dark night, the faint light spots of pigeonholes cannot dispel the thick darkness.The pigeon stood on the wooden pole used for footing, cooing, its small head turned dexterously, and stared curiously at a figure approaching it.The spot of light struggled to illuminate half of the figure's face, which was a woman, which it had never seen before, nor was it familiar with.As it got closer, it gradually smelled the faint smell of blood on the woman's body.The dove was frightened and wanted to spread its wings in fear, but was caught by the woman swiftly.

Immediately, the letter box tied to the pigeon's leg was removed, and the pigeon was gently stuffed back into the pigeon cage.

The woman opened the wax-sealed letter box and took out three stacked volumes of warrants.Through the light, she saw the encrypted text on it.The woman chuckled, turned and walked towards the confidential archives room.

The secret file room was locked, but the woman took out the key and opened it easily.In the darkness, she lit an oil lamp, and the flame danced, illuminating the two rows of tall cabinets in the confidential archives room.She didn't care about the densely packed drawers, but came to the desk with ease, and picked up a box made of fine steel with a mechanism lock.She fiddled with the mechanism lock lightly as she remembered.After a while, she heard a click and the box opened.

She took out the piece of paper that recorded the corresponding code for the latest decryption, and started to crack it at the desk.Soon, the deciphering of the three sect master warrants was completed.When she finished, she smiled again.

She walked out of the confidential file room and entered the back kitchen next door.There was still a faint flame burning in the hearth, which was the tinder she left specially for tonight.She squatted in front of the stove, and slowly threw the door master's handwritten letters into the stove one by one.Still murmuring something in his mouth:

"A wanted warrant from all over the country... It's useless to try to catch her, ha ha; one sent to Luoyang... to Yang Bi? Hmm... kind of interesting... it's a pity; one sent to Huzhou... ha ha ha, really worthy of the name Xue Dao is clear..."

The three warrants were all burned to ashes, she clapped her hands and stood up, and carefully arranged the clothes, as if the tattered dress on her body was some precious brocade.She calmly and slowly stepped out of the back door of the Changfeng Hall, and wandered in the dark streets.Tonight, the moonlight is faint, floating in Yunnan, and there is a slight north wind.

God, it's getting cold.

The blood should be warmed before drinking.

I don't know what the marrow blood of Luanhuang tastes like, but the high priest of water will not allow her to taste it.

With thoughts in her mind, she slowly came to the back door of Fan Yang's tooth shop, and there were five short knocks on the door in succession, the door opened, and the young man who opened the door welcomed her into the tooth shop tremblingly.She smiled softly, pleased with the fear the boy showed.

"Where are Fatty An and Ashina?"

"It's all...all...underground..."

"Okay, got it, I'll change clothes and go." The back of the woman, who was bent like a servant while walking, gradually straightened up, her figure became more and more enchanting and beautiful, and that ordinary face was slowly torn away by her. , the facial features didn't seem to change, but the lips became bright red, as if they were about to drip blood.She was not a beautiful woman, and in the process of disguising she was almost showing herself as she really was, save for her beautifully colored lips and terribly pale complexion.

She removed the shabby clothes of the slave girl and put on a bright red dress.Taking a photo in front of the mirror, she becomes more and more coquettish and charming.She stroked her temples with satisfaction, and went downstairs.A guard saluted her from afar and opened the dungeon door for her.Her steps were still calm and slow, she entered the dungeon, walked past the cells where the slaves were held, and walked to the depths.After passing through the third big iron gate, she came to an oval-shaped secret room.Two men are sitting here, looking at the map hanging on the wall, discussing something.One of them was obese, and he was An Lushan, the shopkeeper of the dental shop.There is another person of medium build with a bushy beard, who is the head of the dental business.

When the two saw the woman walking in, they couldn't help being startled, and quickly knelt down to salute:

"Jaluoshan (Ashina) see the blood pope."

"Get up." The woman said frivolously.

She walked up to the first seat and sat down. Immediately a servant came in, carefully holding a golden wine glass, and handed it to her.She took it, sniffed its contents, took a sip, and narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.

Under the faint light of the secret room, her lips became more and more red.

"What orders does the Blood Pope have?" An Lushan asked tremblingly.

"The order from the superior has come down. The riots will start in the near future. The time has come to coerce the Xue brothers into submission. It is also the time to send your two brothers into the army. If you work hard for the church, you will not lose your benefits."

"Yes, we will do our best for the holy religion, and we will go through fire and water." Ashina said with a smile.

"As long as you can make military achievements in the riot/chaos, you can quickly jump to the top of the army. Controlling the Heshuo army will be just around the corner. The Cui and Li families who got in the way, and the insiders have all been removed. The church has paved the way for you On the road, I hope you will not forget the kindness of the holy religion."

Ashina and An Lushan shuddered when they heard the words. How dare they forget that they still depend on the medicine provided by the Holy Cult to survive now. Without the medicine, they will not be able to see the sun of tomorrow.

"We bear in mind the teachings of the Blood Cult."

"Let's go, take me to see those Dongpu people." The blood patriarch said.

An and Shi didn't dare to disobey, they quickly stood up and led the blood pope to several iron cells deep in the dungeon.More than a dozen Dongying people were locked in four strong cells, lying on the ground unsteadily, already skinny and weak from hunger.Seeing the blood pope approaching, they all backed away in fear, or kowtowed on the ground, begging for their lives.

The Blood Pope just sneered, and said: "Stupid Fujiwara Yuhe, I'm afraid he would never have imagined that the most proud team of Zhineng he cultivated with all his efforts would lie in such a state of embarrassment in our prison You can’t survive but you can’t die. The Great Pope’s method of deduction is at its peak. It was only a seed that was planted in Japan, but it will allow us to obtain the most powerful ninjutsu secret in Japan more than 20 years later. Trained in this way The secret army should be able to defeat a hundred with one enemy, even if he has a copper wall and an iron wall, it will be like entering the land of no one. And..."

She walked slowly to the door of a separate prison and looked in through the bars.In the darkness, one can only vaguely see the silhouette of a woman sitting quietly against the wall with a Japanese broadsword, motionless, as if asleep.

"The most powerful leader of the secret army." The blood pope said softly.

Poor Dongying woman, she doesn't know that her adoptive father is dead, but she is willing to fall into hell. I'm afraid she won't be able to get out in this life.Behind the Blood Pope, An Lushan and Shi Qian stood with expressionless faces and hands down, sighing slowly in their hearts.

***

The purpose of today's trip was to visit the grand occasion of the Eid al-Adha, but whether it was Shen Sui and Zhang Ruohan, or Li Jinyue and Yang Yuhuan, they all walked carelessly, and their attention was not at all on the happy crowd around them.They each have their own concerns, and they are silent to each other.

About to reach the south gate, the chariot and horse team was stopped by the crowd and could not go any further.Sitting on the horse, Shen Sui was superior to others, and saw from a distance that across the dense crowd, a group of cavalry holding bright yellow dragon flags had just passed the south gate, and they were trying their best to squeeze through the crowd and enter the city.

Then the leader of the cavalry saw Li Jinyue beside Shen Sui, and couldn't help waving and shouting.

"Princess! Your Excellency Princess Jin!"

Shen Sui smiled suddenly, leaned close to Li Jinyue's ear, and said:

"The saint has come to match you again."

"Huh?" Li Jinyue was taken aback.

"I also just got the news. Before it was confirmed, someone came. He wants to marry you again, Xue, Cui, Li, I don't know which family it is."

The expression on Li Jinyue's face gradually changed from astonishment to gloomy, and Shen Sui saw her temples swelled up angrily, and her complexion also began to blush.Shen Sui felt that she was desperately restraining her urge to swear.

Shen Sui's complexion became serious:

"Mamao, don't worry, the saint's marriage will soon be invalidated."

"Why?" Li Jinyue asked.

"I sent an urgent letter to Luoyang to Yang Bi, asking him to do one thing for us. This thing can make the saint take back his order. You only need to delay for a few days and perfunctory the order. After a few days , there should be a new imperial decree added." Shen Sui said.

"What do you want Yang Bi to do?" Li Jinyue was curious.

"I want him to lobby the third prince, Li Jun, to ask the saint to marry Xue Chuyu's only young daughter. In exchange, you can give him the military power of Lu Longjun, and let Yang Bi assist him to form an alliance."

Li Jinyue raised her eyebrows, thought for a while and said:

"Are you sure?"

"I'm [-]% sure." Shen Sui said.

"So tall?" Li Jinyue smiled, "It seems that you value Yang Bi's ability very much."

"He has the ability." Shen Sui said calmly.

Shen Sui and Li Jinyue were talking in a low voice, the horse team couldn't move, and the rest of them could only wait in place bored.Cui Pan and Xue Song in the rear, seeing Li Jinyue and Shen Sui talking closely, with an intimate demeanor, couldn't help showing strange expressions.They all looked at Zhang Ruohan's carriage at the back in unison, thinking to himself that this Xuedao was decisive, could it be possible that he was going to abandon his wife and marry the princess?

Zhang Ruohan in the carriage sneezed lightly, and pulled the skirt of his clothes, thinking that it was getting colder, so he needed to add more clothes.She subconsciously stroked her lower abdomen and sighed.

Baby, you chose to come at this time, it's really embarrassing for mother.

The dense crowd finally dispersed, Li Jinyue still pressed the horse's head and did not move, while the horse team with the yellow dragon flag in front rode their horses.The leader dismounted and bowed his hands in salute:

"My servant pays homage to Your Excellency Princess Jin." The voice was high-pitched, obviously an internal official.

Li Jinyue hurriedly dismounted, greeted her with a smile:

"The chief internal officer has worked hard all the way."

Li Jinyue got off the horse, and everyone behind them also got off the horse and got off the carriage. They stood by the side of the carriage and did not go forward to say hello.

The inner officer said with a smile:

"Your Excellency, the princess, the sage is in a hurry, and specially instructed to announce the decree immediately when he sees the princess. Forgive me for being presumptuous, please accept the decree."

Li Jinyue didn't object, just smiled and knelt down.Everyone behind him also fell to their knees, and the people passing by watching the fun didn't know what was going on, and they all watched curiously from a distance, huddled together and whispering.

The internal officer cleared his throat and read aloud:

"Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor's edict said: I love my daughter Jin Guo, and her husband died early. I am lonely and lonely. I am very sad. I heard that Changxue, the ninth son of Fan Yang Li's family, is handsome and handsome, with four virtues and salty, Yunwen Yunwu, pen and ink I am very pleased with the wonderful fragrance that benefits the family and the family. Li Changxue is the princess of the Jin Kingdom, Li Jinyue. The two sons are made in heaven and earth. They are a perfect match. We will quickly choose an auspicious day to get married. I respect you!"

Both Li Jinyue and Shen Sui were stunned on the spot, as if a thunderbolt pierced through their minds, there was a momentary blankness.

Li Changxue? !

The author has something to say: This chapter is relatively short, but it is very important, especially the first half.

A certain messy emperor is really enough.
