Escape From the Library

【Dream Back to Tang Dynasty-01】

After breakfast, everyone took the elevator again to the School of Humanities on the 12th floor.

The course selection center of the School of Humanities does not have a smart computer, but a piece of rice paper with a schedule on it.The previous "Poetry Labyrinth" course was selected with a brush. Yue Xingwen picked up the brush skillfully and drew a circle on the course "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" written on rice paper.

Sure enough, a familiar prompt popped up in front of me——

【Compulsory course: Great Tang Dynasty】

[College: School of Humanities]

【Credits: 4】

[Examination room rules: The maximum number of people in the examination room is 12 (excluding X group members)]

[Course description: The Tang Dynasty from 618 to 907 A.D. was one of the longest unified and most powerful dynasties in feudal history, with a total of 21 emperors]

[Examination Requirements: Follow the prompts to complete the assigned tasks and bring history back on track]

[Remarks: The recommended team has teammates who have a better understanding of the history of the Tang Dynasty]

Yue Xingwen turned his head to look at his teammates: "Complete the mission according to the prompts. This time it is actually a mission class? It is different from the puzzle solving, maze and escape encountered before."

Ke Shaobin adjusted his glasses, and analyzed carefully: "It's a bit like a series of plot missions in online games. We may encounter many NPCs. After completing the missions released by the NPCs, we will pass the level after completing the main storyline."

Qin Lu looked at her sister and said, "The exam requires 'returning history to the right track', that is to say, there may be some incidents that interfere with the direction of history during the exam, and we need to solve them?"

Qin Miao nodded: "Well, I understand that too."

A countdown prompt of "the exam is about to start" popped up in front of him, Yue Xingwen seized the time and said: "After traveling back to the Tang Dynasty, the chat channel of the research group may be disabled, and the 12 of us may not be together. At that time, everyone pay attention Be safe, pay close attention to the characters and clues around you, and then discuss the solution when we get together. Of course, if you can’t get all the people together, you have to adapt accordingly.”

Everyone nodded to express their understanding.

Ke Shaobin said with a bitter face: "Can my little picture still be used in the Tang Dynasty? If it pops up and sings a song about looking for friends, I will be regarded as a monster."

Jiang Pingce said calmly: "Since we are going back to the Tang Dynasty, many modern tools and skills are likely to be banned. Everyone must prepare for the worst."

Yue Xingwen thought about it carefully, and said, "Well, if we disperse, we will meet at the largest restaurant in the city where we are currently."

As soon as the voice fell, a familiar mechanical voice sounded in my ears: "The subject test of "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" in the 183 research group is about to begin, please be prepared. Countdown 5, 4..."

The next moment, the scene in front of him suddenly changed——

Yue Xingwen came to an antique courtyard with elegant pavilions and terraces.

There was no one around, Yue Xingwen looked down and found that he was wearing a strange light green ancient costume, his long hair was tied up in a bun and tied in a black official hat.He didn't know his identity and couldn't find his teammates, so he had to stretch out his right hand to see if his skills were still there.

Among them, "Classic Anthologies of Modern Writers" cannot be summoned at all, obviously because the anthologies were compiled by later generations. Characters such as Zhu Ziqing and Lu Xun did not exist in the Tang Dynasty.

However, the skills of "Dictionary of Idioms" and "Book of Songs" can be used.

It's just that the "Book of Songs" skills that Yue Xingwen drew are all related to dating, so they can't be used at present.But the idiom skills, such as the golden cicada's shelling and the wind and lightning, are all life-saving at critical moments, which gave Yue Xingwen a little more confidence in his heart.

Yue Xingwen put away the skill book, opened the research group channel, and saw a conspicuous red cross in the input box—the research group channel was also disabled.

In other words, modern skills such as Ke Shaobin's small picture, Zhuo's electric current, Zhang Xiaonian's excavator, etc., cannot be used in this course.

Where is Pince?

The exam has already started, what is the task?

Yue Xingwen just felt confused.

At this moment, a few lines of obvious character prompts appeared in the transparent floating frame in front of him——

[The plot mission has started.

Time: June of the ninth year of Wude.

Location: East Palace.

Plot characters: Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji.

Your identity at this time is: Prince Li Jiancheng's rate is changing to Wang Zhen. 】

Yue Xingwen was stunned, and carefully read these few lines of simple prompts.

He is not familiar with the character Wang Yan, nor does he know what Su Gengcheng does, nor does he have any explanation on how to carry out the mission.

However, in May of the ninth year of Wude, he remembered this critical time node very clearly - this was the day when the well-known "Xuanwu Gate Change" in history happened!

The appearance of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji as characters in the plot further proves that this mission is most likely related to the Xuanwumen Incident.

Yue Xingwen took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.

There was no one around, so he turned around and walked around to familiarize himself with the environment of the yard.The road in this yard was complicated and tortuous. Yue Xingwen walked all the way and found that there were many guards in the yard. These guards obviously recognized him and did not block his way.

It was getting dark, Yue Xingwen was anxious in his heart, but pretended to be calm on the surface.

He didn't stop until he was near the backyard.

The backyard is full of female relatives, and the prince's wives and concubines are here, so it is not easy for him to break in rashly.Maybe the four girls in the team arranged to stay in the Eastern Palace as maids or something?With such an important place in the East Palace, logically speaking, he shouldn't be the only one.But Yue Xingwen can't get into the backyard now, nor can he join his teammates.

According to the prior agreement, he could meet his teammates at the biggest restaurant in the city, but the East Palace was full of guards, and it was inconvenient for him to go out now, so it was best to sneak out in the dead of night.If a teammate is also in the East Palace, why not leave a mark here first?

Seeing no one around, Yue Xingwen quickly came to the corner and picked up a branch. He was just about to leave a mark on the wall, but saw the word "Lu Miao" written very shallowly on the wall.

It was Qin Lu and Qin Miao.

It seems that the two sisters, Qin Lu and Qin Miao, are together. There is a high probability that their identities are the maidservants of the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace. The two could not reach the front yard, so they came to this junction first and left a mark.

Yue Xingwen wrote "Ugly Time" on the back and covered it with leaves.

Choushi, that is, 1 to 3 in the morning, it is convenient for them to meet in the dead of night.

After doing all this, he quickly returned to the original yard.

It was completely dark, and the light from the lit lanterns in the yard was very dim. Yue Xingwen wanted to find a chance to sneak out. At this moment, someone came in from the gate suddenly, and the guards at the gate immediately moved out of the way respectfully. Yue Xingwen heard people around him calling that person "Your Highness" from afar.

Is this person Li Jiancheng?

Yue Xingwen's eyes lit up, and he immediately remembered this key historical figure.

His current status is just a little sesame official in the prince's mansion, of course he is not qualified to get in close contact with the prince's highness, Yue Xingwen didn't dare to mess around, and watched the prince back to his room.

After a while, another person strode into the gate with his head held high. Needless to say, the person who could enter the prince's mansion openly and aboveboard must be Li Yuanji, King of Qi who has a close relationship with Li Jiancheng.

Soon, the lights were turned on in the study, and the two sat together, as if they were discussing something.

Yue Xingwen thought about it for a moment, and decided to go up and listen. If he was discovered, he also had the skills to be there to save his life.

In the dark, Yue Xingwen directly activated the "Fast and Lightning" skill acceleration, and the surrounding guards only felt a gust of wind blowing from the side, and Yue Xingwen sneaked to the back of the study in just a few seconds.

He put his ear close to the door, and sure enough, he heard a conversation coming from inside——

A deep voice said: "Turks peeped at the border of the Tang Dynasty, and wanted to take the opportunity to make a surprise attack. Now, the emperor has promised you to lead troops to go out, and you have obtained the brave generals under the command of King Qin, with tens of thousands of mercenaries. I also have three thousand under my command." Chang Lin Bing, it is easy to deal with Li Shimin."

Another male voice said with a loud laugh: "Brother Huang is right, General Yuchi and Qin Shubao of Prince Qin's Mansion have become my subordinates, and they will go out with me in a few days."

Li Jiancheng said: "Since Yu Chigong and others have fallen into your hands, you will use the opportunity of going out to take them all..."

Li Yuanji smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Huang, I know what to do."

The voice was deliberately lowered, and Yue Xingwen couldn't hear it clearly outside the door.But after thinking about it, I knew that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of "leading troops to march" to kill Li Shimin's proud generals along the way and weaken Li Shimin's power.

Yue Xingwen frowned, and continued listening——

Li Jiancheng said: "Before you go out to fight, I will invite the King of Qin to see you off at Kunming Lake. At that time, arrange for the warriors to stab him to death in the tent, and then report to the emperor, and say that he died of a sudden illness."

Li Yuanji said: "As long as he dies, the father will definitely hand over the great cause to the emperor."

There were whispers in the room, but Yue Xingwen couldn't hear the specific arrangement.

After a while, Li Yuanji came out of the study and coughed lightly. The guards who came with him immediately escorted him away, while Li Jiancheng turned and went back to the backyard.

With the bright moon hanging high, this night will be a turning point in the history of the Tang Dynasty.

If Li Shimin fails to grasp the news, the plot of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji is likely to succeed, and the wheel of history will deviate from the track.Until now, Yue Xingwen didn't understand the meaning of "putting history back on track" in the course exam.

In this course, 12 of them will play various historical figures to promote the development of the plot.They must ensure that history proceeds in its original direction and does not deviate from the track.

Li Shimin must not have an accident!

Yue Xingwen didn't hesitate any longer, and used his "speeding" skill to go directly to the corner of the backyard.

Sure enough, there were two girls dressed as maids waiting for him in the corner. They both had long hair and looked exactly the same. They were sisters Qin Lu and Qin Miao.

When Qin Lu saw Xingwen, she was obviously excited, and asked in a low voice, "Xingwen, you actually left the mark! What is your identity?"

Yue Xingwen whispered: "This is not a place to talk, I will take you out first."

A soft light suddenly appeared in the palm of his right hand, and he whispered the idiom "Golden Cicada escapes its shell", and the next moment, the three of them teleported outside the East Palace.

Seeing that there was no one around, Yue Xingwen said, "The identity assigned to me by the library is Wang Yan."

Qin Miao's eyes widened in surprise: "Wang Yan? An undercover agent arranged by Li Shimin in the East Palace?"

Yue Xingwen nodded: "Yes. I just heard the conversation between Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. They planned to find someone to assassinate Li Shimin when they practiced for Li Yuanji in Kunming Lake."

Qin Miao frowned, and said calmly: "The ninth year of Wude, the first day of June, there are only a few days left before the Xuanwumen Incident, we must hurry up and tell Li Shimin the news."

Qin Lu said helplessly: "If the news cannot be delivered smoothly, the change of Xuanwu Gate will not happen?"

Qin Miao said: "The process of history is linked together, and every link cannot go wrong. At this time, although Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng have many conflicts, they have not really turned against each other. Knowing that Li Jiancheng is going to assassinate him and entrap him After the subordinates, he made up his mind to turn passive into active."

And the event that triggered his determination was the conspiracy between Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

Yue Xingwen never expected that the library would arrange such an important task for him.Although Wang Yan was just an unknown person in history, in the story of the Xuanwumen Incident, this little person was the real fuse, completely igniting Li Shimin's anger.

Now the question is... how will he meet Li Shimin?

The author has something to say: The copy of the historical task stream will allow the protagonists to personally experience some historical events in the Tang Dynasty. I think this is more interesting than solving the case in the overhead dynasty.
