Escape From the Library

【Dream Back to Tang Dynasty-05】

After the 10-second countdown, the scene in front of Yue Xingwen flashed, and he appeared on the ancient street again.

It's obviously winter here. There should have been a heavy snowfall a few days ago, and there is still some snow on the street that hasn't melted away.The people coming and going were all dressed thickly, and Yue Xingwen himself was wearing a thick cloak, holding a fan in his hand, and his identity was unknown.

There is no familiar face among the people passing by, and even the architectural style is different from before.Yue Xingwen was puzzled when a new prompt popped up in the floating box in front of him——

[Story mission has been opened

Time: The first month of the first year of longevity

Location: Luoyang

Your identity is a scholar who came to Beijing to rush for the exam]

The six of them were teleported to Chang'an in the previous "Xuanwu Gate Change" mission, but now they have come to Luoyang. No wonder the surrounding streets and buildings are so strange.

As Yue Xingwen walked forward, he asked passers-by about the location of the largest inn in Luoyang City.

After passing through several streets in a row, he came to an inn, and saw a familiar figure as soon as he entered the door.Yue Xingwen stepped forward quickly, patted the opponent's shoulder with the fan handle, and shouted with a smile: "Ping Ce."

Jiang Pingce turned his head and looked at Shangyue Xingwen, the corners of his mouth could not help but slightly raised: "This outfit is quite suitable for you." A white gown, a fluffy cape, a square hat on the head, hands There is also an ancient poem written on the folding fan inside.Wearing this pair of scholarly attire on Xingwen's body, there is no sense of disobedience at all.

Yue Xingwen covered the faces of the two of them with a fan, leaned into Jiang Pingce's ear and whispered: "My identity this time is a scholar who is going to Beijing for the exam, and I have to meet up with other people as soon as possible so that I can figure out this round of tasks .”

Jiang Pingce said: "I rushed to the inn as soon as possible, but I didn't find anyone else."

Yue Xingwen pointed to the seat by the window: "Then let's sit down first and eat something while waiting for someone?"

Jiang Pingce nodded, turned around and sat down with Yue Xingwen by the window, ordered two small dishes, pretended to be reunited with old friends, and chatted in a low voice.

Yue Xingwen asked: "In the first year of longevity, do you have any memory of what happened in Luoyang City?"

Jiang Pingce shook his head helplessly: "I don't like studying history, and I basically forget what I learned in high school."

Yue Xingwen said: "I only remember that Changshou is Wu Zetian's year name, and I have to ask Qin Miao about the specific incident..."

As soon as the words fell, a pair of twin sisters wearing red cotton cloaks walked into the inn side by side. As soon as the two entered the door, they saw Yue Xingwen and immediately came to them. Qin Lu tactfully called out: "Cousin, it's been a long time not see."

Yue Xingwen cooperated with the acting with a smile: "Are you also in Luoyang? Sit down quickly and have dinner together."

Not long after, Zhuo Feng and Lin Manluo walked in side by side.Everyone sat around the table and waited for a while, but Ke Shaobin and the six were nowhere to be seen.Qin Lu asked suspiciously, "Aren't Ke Shaobin and the others in this time and space?"

Yue Xingwen said: "After the task was completed just now, the floating box prompted to 'wait for the rest of the teammates to meet'. The 12 of us should meet in this world."

Zhuo Feng said calmly: "It may be that it is not convenient for them to come to the inn temporarily, so let's wait."

Yue Xingwen turned his head and asked, "Qin Miao, do you know what important events happened in the first year of longevity?"

Qin Miao frowned and thought for a moment, then said in a soft voice: "Wu Zetian's reign name after she became emperor officially was 'Tianshu'. Tianshou changed her reign title to 'Ruyi' in three years, and then changed it to 'Changshou'. Changshou Yuan Year, corresponding to 692 A.D., the important event, I can think of, is that Di Renjie was falsely accused and imprisoned."

Qin Lu was startled, and said, "Sister, I remember that after Wu Zetian became emperor, Di Renjie was the prime minister?"

Qin Miao said: "Yes, in September of the next year after Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor, Di Renjie was promoted to prime minister. Unfortunately, Di Renjie only served as prime minister for four months before he was falsely accused of treason and sent to prison. Ze County, as a small county magistrate, was not reinstated until five years later."

Yue Xingwen thought about it carefully, then lowered his voice and said, "So, in this time and space, what we need to do is probably to protect Lord Di from being killed unjustly?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Different from "Xuanwumen Change", they directly replaced some key characters to promote the development of the plot. In this mission, Yue Xingwen is a scholar who went to Beijing to rush for the exam, Jiang Pingce is the guard of the royal palace, Qin Miao and Qin Lu are the female workers of the embroidery workshop, Zhuo Feng and Lin Manluo are a couple who came to the capital for business—that is to say, they are passers-by.

How can I meet these famous figures in history?

When everyone was silent, someone suddenly walked into the inn, and everyone recognized him when they saw his smiling expression—isn't this Senior Brother Xu Yishen?

Xu Yishen obviously noticed them too, blinked at Yue Xingwen, then walked to the front desk of the inn, took out a silver coin from his pocket and threw it on the table: "Boss, this table is my friend, I will pay for the meal. Are these enough?"

He pointed to the location of Yue Xingwen and the others. The boss's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Enough, enough! Please wait a moment, son, I will let the kitchen add some special dishes for you!"

Xu Yishen came over and sat in front of Yue Xingwen, and greeted everyone with a smile: "You are all here."

Yue Xingwen asked softly, "Brother, what are you?"

Xu Yi rubbed his temples deeply, and sighed softly: "It's inconvenient for them to move around. I'm a free man. I'll wait for you at the inn first." He lowered his voice and said, "The inn is not a place to talk. Come with me and go to my residence to talk."

Everyone looked at each other, said nothing more, and hurriedly followed Xu Yishen after eating.

Xu Yishen has an independent courtyard in Luoyang. Zhuo Feng walked into the courtyard, looked at the surrounding environment, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This courtyard is big enough! The library knows that you are the rich second generation, and arranged for you identity?"

Xu Yishen said helplessly: "No, the six of us pooled our money to buy this yard, because people died in the yard and the price was very low. We bought it as a temporary base."

Qin Lu asked curiously, "Brother, what is your mission?"

Xu Yishen said: "The beginning is a palace fight between several women. We must secretly protect Wu Zetian from being framed, and also assist her to become the queen, and finally ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor."

Qin Miao asked: "Protect Wu Zetian? What are your identities?"

Xu Yishen said in detail: "Senior Brother Liu is the imperial doctor, Senior Sister Lan is the maid beside Wu Zetian, Zhang Xiaonian is the gardener in the palace, helping to repair the palace; Xin Yan is the imperial guard; I am an idle businessman, free to move around outside the palace, They will look for me when they leave the palace."

Yue Xingwen asked curiously, "What about Ke Shaobin?"

Mentioning Ke Shaobin, Xu Yishen couldn't help laughing out loud: "Xiao Ke is the chef of the imperial dining room, and he eats delicious food in different ways every day. He really likes this dungeon."

Everyone: "..."

Yue Xingwen said with emotion: "That really suits him. There are many exquisite delicacies available in the imperial dining room that he has never seen before, right?"

Xu Yishen nodded: "It's a pity, this time he can't take out his laptop, and he can't summon Xiaotu, otherwise, he would like to record all those recipes."

Imperial doctor, guards, chef, maid, gardener, and Xu Yishen who moves flexibly...

The time when Xu Yishen and the others appeared was when Wu Zetian had already entered the palace and was fighting openly and secretly with the Queen, Concubine Xiao Shu and others.The six of them were assigned, although not a pivotal role, but they could covertly protect the plot character Wu Zetian from the details.

If Yue Xingwen and the others used the "political struggle" script, Xu Yishen and the others used the "Gongdou" script.

Now that Wu Zetian has proclaimed himself emperor, the two groups of teammates from different time and space finally reunited. The goal of this mission, as Qin Miao said, is likely to be the famous incident of Di Renjie being wronged and imprisoned in history.

Qin Miao asked: "Brother Xu, do you have any new hints for your mission line?"

Xu Yishen pressed his temples, and said: "I just wanted to say, after Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor, we successfully completed the mission, and settled the points, got a mission evaluation of 90 points, and then the library said, wait for other teammates to gather. When I opened my eyes again, it was three years later, and I was a little confused."

He looked at Yue Xingwen and said: "I checked carefully, my identity is still the same, and they should be the same. I thought, when you come to this time and space, you will definitely go to the inn to meet up as agreed, so let's go first It’s over. I don’t know exactly what to do next.”

Jiang Pingce asked in a low voice: "How did you connect with the previous mission?"

Xu Yishen said: "When Zhang Xiaonian goes to take care of flowers every day, he can see Senior Sister Lan, and Ke Shaobin can find a way to meet Senior Brother Liu. As for me, because the skill of 'becoming a cell' can be used, in the dead of night, I can find There is a chance to sneak into the palace and deliver a message to them."

The human body is made up of cells, so Brother Xu's ability to change cells is not affected by time and space travel, which is also the key for the six of them to successfully complete the task.

As a "free man", after Xu Yishen became a cell, he could eavesdrop and deliver news everywhere in the palace, and they would be able to seize the opportunity to solve the conspiracy of the concubines in the harem and secretly help Wu Zetian ascend to power.

Even if their team did not have Qin Miao, who is quite familiar with history, they finally got a high score of 90 points. It can be seen that under the contact of Xu Yishen, the cooperation of the six people is quite tacit.

Yue Xingwen thought of this, and said: "Imperial doctor, imperial cook, inner guard, maid beside the emperor... These identities are indeed inconvenient to leave the palace. Brother Xu, please go back to the palace tonight and tell Ke Shaobin and the others, You have already joined us, and asked them to pay close attention to Lord Di Renjie's movements."

Xu Yishen raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Di Renjie? Is this mission related to Master Di?"

Yue Xingwen said: "The library didn't release the mission clues, we are just guessing now." He looked at Qin Miao and said, "According to Qin Miao, in the first year of Changshou, Di Renjie was wrongfully imprisoned and removed from the prime minister. Many people in the court dislike him and want to get rid of him. At this point in time, it is not far away from this matter."

Qin Miao nodded and said, "In the first year of longevity, Di Renjie must be a key figure. If he can't escape this catastrophe, he won't be able to return to his post later and become Wu Zetian's confidant."

She paused, then added: "Wu Zetian originally wanted to pass the throne to his nephew Wu Sansi and continue Wu Zhou's rule. It was Di Renjie, the prime minister, who helped Wu Zetian interpret her dreams and persuaded her many times before she decided to pass the throne to Li Xian. If something happens to Di Renjie, no one can talk to Emperor Zetian, maybe the Tang Dynasty will perish, and it will be the Wu Zhou era."

If they want history to return to the right track, they must not let Di Renjie have an accident this year.
