Escape From the Library

【Dream Back to Tang Dynasty-06】

That night, Xu Yishen turned into a cell and sneaked into the palace while hanging on the body of the patrolling imperial guards. He successfully found Ke Shaobin and told him the news of his meeting with Yue Xingwen.

Ke Shaobin was excited: "We finally met! What's the next plan?"

Xu Yishen said: "There is no task reminder in the library, but Qin Miao guesses that this task is related to Di Renjie. You should investigate in the palace. If you have any news, please let me know as soon as possible."

Before the course exams started, Yue Xingwen and everyone agreed to meet at the biggest inn in the city. However, when they first came to this world, their identities were not convenient for them to leave the palace to go to the inn. Ke Shaobin couldn’t find his teammates all day long. Anxious, Ke Shaobin didn't feel relieved until that night when Xin Yan came to the imperial dining room and the two met.

They spent two days looking for someone, and finally relied on Zhang Xiaonian, a gardener who could leave the palace, to contact Xu Yishen outside the palace, and then found Lan Yarong who was in the harem. Only then did they confirm that this mission was only for them 6 Personally, the other 6 people are not in this time and space at all.

Without Xingwen's unified command, everyone was a little at a loss, just like the captain suddenly disappeared when playing a dungeon, and they didn't know what to do next.

Fortunately, Senior Sister Lan was by Wu Zetian's side, and Xin Yan was very calm, so everyone negotiated to let Xu Yishen be a "microphone" to listen to the news and cooperate with the decision to protect Wu Zetian.

During this period of time, everyone lived in fear, and now, finally reunited with another team, Ke Shaobin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That night, the Emperor Zetian suddenly delivered meals, and the imperial dining room was busy for a long time before he made some of her favorite dishes and sent them over.

Ke Shaobin actively followed the maids to deliver food. He saw Wu Zetian sitting in the imperial garden watching the moon from a distance, frowning, as if thinking about something, and the others naturally didn't dare to say a word.

Lan Yarong was by her side as a maid, and the two looked at each other. Xu Yishen immediately jumped from Ke Shaobin's shoulder to Lan Yarong's body, whispered a few words in her ear, and Lan Yarong nodded to express his understanding.

A while later, Wu Zetian went back to rest after supper, and Xu Yishen went to find Xin Yan, Liu Zhaoqing and others.After the last mission, he was already familiar with the Luoyang Palace, and within an hour, he conveyed Yue Xingwen's words to all his teammates.

Then, he got a key piece of information from Xin Yan——

Xin Yan said: "A few days ago, I saw Lord Di Renjie come to the imperial study to look for His Majesty, but Lord Di was not there when he went to court today. Instead, I heard that he conspired with several ministers and was imprisoned."

Xu Yishen said in surprise, "Are you sure he's been arrested?"

Xin Yan frowned and thought for a while, then said, "He was suddenly dismissed for investigation, it should have happened yesterday."

It seems that Qin Miao and Xingwen's guess was correct. They were sent to this point in time to ensure the safety of Di Renjie, a loyal minister.Xu Yishen said hastily: "You are in the palace, pay close attention to Master Di's news, I will tell Xingwen about it immediately."

Xin Yan asked: "Xingwen and the others live outside the city, are they safe?"

Xu Yishen nodded and said: "Well, I took everyone to the contact point between me and Xiaonian. The courtyard is hidden and very safe."

Only then did Xin Yan feel relieved: "Okay, I will pay attention to the movements in the palace. You should also be careful."

When Xu Yishen returned to the small courtyard, Zhang Xiaonian was also there. He was sent to the palace to take care of the flowers and plants today, so he came back relatively late.

Eight people did not dare to light candles to attract suspicion, so they discussed countermeasures in the dark in the room.

Hearing the news from Xu Yishen, Qin Miao's expression changed, and he said, "Di Renjie was imprisoned because he was framed by Lai Junchen. Lai Junchen was a famous cruel official during the Wu Zhou period. He invented many terrible instruments of torture and was very good at torture. , killed many loyal ministers and good generals."

Qin Lu said: "Will he beat him up and use all kinds of terrible punishments to force Mr. Di to confess his crime?"

Qin Miao nodded and said: "Being caught by him will definitely not be fruitful. Hundreds of people have died unjustly under his command, and the crime of treason is the most taboo of Wu Zetian."

Yue Xingwen frowned and said: "After Wu Zetian became emperor, he couldn't fully trust those ministers who were loyal to the Li family. He was very suspicious. Lai Junchen took advantage of this and framed the ministers he disliked. Once Di Renjie was in If you are beaten into a trick in prison, it will be troublesome."

He looked at Qin Miao and asked, "In history, how did Di Renjie survive this disaster?"

Qin Miao said: "At that time, Di Renjie was also afraid that he would be tortured to death in prison, so he simply admitted that he had committed treason, let the other party let down his guard first, and stopped keeping him under strict supervision. Then, he secretly tore off a piece of cloth and wrote Knowing his injustice, he stuffed it in his clothes and asked for the clothes to be sent home. Because he had already confessed his crime, the guard in charge had no doubts, so he gave the clothes to his son.”

Xu Yi said with a deep smile: "Master Di is very witty. After his son receives the letter, he will definitely find a way to meet His Majesty and seek grievances in person, right?"

Qin Miao nodded: "Yes, Di Guangyuan took the cloth written by his father to meet Wu Zetian. Suspicioned by Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian sent a person named Zhou Lin to investigate in the prison. It turned out that the surname Zhou He is a timid and cowardly person, afraid of Lai Junchen, and dare not tell the truth, but Lai Junchen sent someone to forge a "Death Thank You Form", saying that it was written by Di Renjie, and brought it back to His Majesty."

Jiang Pingce couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "Wu Zetian is not so stupid that he won't listen to his one-sided words. Did you ask Di Renjie to confront him in the end to clarify this matter?"

Qin Miao said: "Yes, Di Renjie told Wu Zetian face-to-face that he never wrote the "Death Thank You Form" and admitted that he was afraid of being tortured to death for rebellion. He saved his life before clearing up his grievances. In the end, Wu Zetian pardoned him from the death penalty. , removed his official position, and demoted him to Pengze County as the county magistrate."

Yue Xingwen carefully analyzed the ins and outs of this matter.

If history develops according to the normal track, without their intervention, Di Renjie can also rely on his wit to save the day.

But now, they are in the historical illusion created by the library. These characters are not real historical figures, but fictional plot characters. They may not follow the original plot. As long as one of the links goes wrong, Di Renjie may Unjustly died in prison.

Counting the time, it has been a whole day since Di Renjie was arrested.According to Lai Junchen's perverted style, he will definitely torture Lord Di in every possible way in prison.

Yue Xingwen made a decisive decision: "We have to see Di Renjie as soon as possible."

Zhang Xiaonian said: "Senior Brother Xingwen, I know where the cell is, but the guards over there are heavily guarded. Except for Senior Brother Xu who can turn into a cell, it is difficult for others to get in, right?"

Yue Xingwen lowered his head and thought for a moment, and came up with a solution: "My 'Golden Cicada Escape' skill can teleport 500 meters without being restricted by the terrain. At 11:30 tonight, we will use the 'Golden Cicada Escape' skill to teleport into the cell. Find Di Renjie's location as soon as possible, and after finishing the work, the skills will be refreshed at twelve o'clock in the morning, and I will use 'Golden Cicada Escape Shell' to bring everyone out."

Today, neither Qin Lu's "plate transposition" nor Jiang Pingce's "coordinate system" skills can be used, only Yue Xingwen's "Golden Cicada Escape Shell" can achieve a large distance displacement regardless of the terrain.Not to mention a prison, even a more heavily guarded palace, they can use this skill to teleport into it.

Yue Xingwen glanced at his teammates and said, "Let me, Qin Miao, and Senior Brother Xu act together, and the others stay here."

Jiang Pingce said, "I'll go with you."

Yue Xingwen looked at him worriedly: "You don't have the skills, it would be dangerous to go there."

Jiang Pingce spread his right hand, and saw a mathematical blind box suddenly appeared in his palm. Jiang Pingce put his hand into the blind box and said, "Although my coordinate system and triangular ruler can't be used, I still have a mathematical blind box." , I got a useful skill book this time."

He stretched out his hand and unfolded the skill book he drew in front of everyone.

Yue Xingwen's eyes lit up: "Can you actually get "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic"?!"

Jiang Pingce said: "This is a collection of the essence of ancient arithmetic. This book already existed in the Tang Dynasty. I tried to draw a blind box just now, and I got this book."

Yue Xingwen asked curiously, "What skills are there?"

Jiang Pingce said: "Chapter 1 'Fang Tian' is currently unlocked, including isosceles triangle, isosceles trapezoid, right-angled trapezoid, rectangle, circle, sector, bow, and ring. These are the calculation methods for the area of ​​eight graphics. The corresponding The skill is to summon a figure with a specified area, and ground the target within the figure."

He opened the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" in the blue cover, pointed to the graphics on it and said, "There are only eight graphics here, so the skill can only be used eight times."

Zhuo Feng couldn't help feeling: "The level of mathematics in ancient China was indeed very high. The "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" that Pingce picked up uses graphics to ground the target, which is a very strong group control skill."

Lin Manluo said: "It's a pity that the current in your physics department has not been discovered at this time, otherwise we will be much more relaxed."

Zhuo Feng said: "Fortunately, there was light in ancient times, and my light ball can still be used to temporarily blind the target." He turned his head to look at Yue Xingwen, "How about I go with you too, to meet outside?"

Yue Xingwen nodded bluntly: "Okay, then I, Ping Ce, Senior Brother Zhuo, Senior Brother Xu and Qin Miao will act together, and the other three will wait for news from us here."

Qin Lu held Qin Miao's hand nervously, and said, "Sister, you have to be careful, I really can't help this time, so I won't make trouble." There was no globe in Tang Dynasty, and Qin Lu's globe couldn't be summoned. Skills are also unavailable.

Qin Miao patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we'll go back quickly."

The five people looked at each other, changed into black clothes collectively, and turned around quickly to go out.

Yue Xingwen activated the team's "speedy" acceleration skill.

On the streets of Luoyang in the middle of the night, five black shadows swayed quickly like the wind. Even if someone saw it, they would think that their eyes were hallucinating.

Not long after, they arrived at the gate of the prison where Di Renjie was being held.
