Escape the Library

【Dream Back to Datang-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 rice paper with a class schedule written on it. The previous "Poetry Labyrinth" course was selected with a brush. Yue Xingwen skillfully picked up the brush and drew a circle on the course "Dream of the Tang Dynasty" written on rice paper.

A familiar prompt popped up in front of me—

【Compulsory Course: Prosperous Tang Dynasty】

[Faculty: School of Humanities]

【Credits: 4】

[Exam room rules: The maximum number of people in the exam room is 12 (excluding X members)]

[Course description: The Tang Dynasty from AD 618 to 907 was one of the dynasties with the longest unification period and the most powerful national power in feudal history, with a total of 21 emperors]

[Exam requirements: Complete the specified tasks according to the prompts and let history return to the right track]

[Note: There are teammates in the recommended team who have a better understanding of the history of the Tang Dynasty]

Yue Xingwen turned to look at his teammates: "Follow the prompts to complete the task, this time is actually a task class? It's different from the puzzle solving, maze, and escape that I encountered before."

Ke Shaobin adjusted his glasses and analyzed it carefully: "It's a bit like a series of quests in an online game. We may encounter many NPCs, complete the quests posted by the NPCs, and pass the main story."

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 trend of history during the exam, and we need to solve it?"

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

The countdown prompt that "the exam is about to start" popped up in front of him, and Yue Xingwen took the time to warn: "After traveling back to the Tang Dynasty, the chat channel of the research group is likely to be disabled, and the 12 of us may not necessarily be together. Everyone pay attention at that time. Be safe, pay careful attention to the characters and clues around you, and discuss solutions when they converge. Of course, if you can’t meet all the staff, you have to adapt accordingly.”

Everyone nodded in understanding.

Ke Shaobin said with a bitter face, "Will my little picture still be used in the Tang Dynasty? If it pops up and sings a song to find, find, find 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, and everyone must prepare for the worst."

Yue Xingwen thought about it carefully and said, "Well, if we are scattered around, when the time comes, we will go to the city where we are currently and meet at the largest restaurant."

As soon as the voice fell, a familiar mechanical voice sounded in my ears: "The subject examination of the "Dream of the Tang Dynasty" of the 183 research group is about to start, please get ready. The countdown is 5, 4..."

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

Yue Xingwen came to a quaint yard with pavilions and pavilions, very elegant.

There was no one around, Yue Xingwen looked down and found that he was wearing a strange light green costume, his long hair was rolled 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, the "Selected Works of Modern Writers' Classics" could not be summoned at all, obviously because the selected works were written by later generations, and characters such as Zhu Ziqing and Lu Xun did not exist at all during the Tang Dynasty.

On the contrary, the skills of "Idiom Dictionary" and "Book of Songs" can be used.

It's just that the "Book of Songs" skills that Yue Xingwen drew are all related to falling in love and are not currently available. However, idiom skills, such as Jin Chan's escape from the shell and the speed of lightning, are all life-saving at critical moments, which makes Yue Xingwen a little more confident.

Yue Xingwen put away the skill book and opened the research group channel. Sure enough, he saw a prominent red cross in the input box - the research group channel was also disabled.

In this way, Ke Shaobin's small picture, Zhuo's brother's electric current, Zhang Xiaonian's excavator and other modern skills cannot be used in this course.

Where will Ping Tze be?

The exam has started, what is the mission?

Yue Xingwen just felt confused.

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

[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 Wang Xing. 】

Yue Xingwen was stunned for a while, and carefully read these few lines of simple tips.

He was not familiar with the character Wang Ye, and he didn't know what led Geng Cheng did, nor did he have any instructions on how to carry out the task.

However, in May of the ninth year of Wude, he remembered this critical time very clearly - this was the day when the famous "Xuanwumen change" occurred in history!

The characters Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji appear in the plot, which further proves that this task is likely to be related to the change of Xuanwu Gate.

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 is tortuous and complicated. 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 he 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 wife and concubines are here, so he doesn't want to break in rashly. Maybe the four girls in the team arranged to stay in the East Palace as maids or something? In such an important place as the East Palace, it stands to reason that he should not be alone. But Yue Xingwen can't enter the backyard now, and can't meet with his teammates.

According to the prior agreement, he could meet his teammates in the biggest restaurant in the city, but there are guards everywhere in the East Palace, and it is not convenient for him to go out now. If there are teammates in the East Palace, why not leave a mark here first?

Seeing that there was no one around, Yue Xingwen quickly came to the corner and picked up a branch. Just as he was about to leave a mark on the wall, he saw two very shallow words "Lu Miao" written on the wall.

It was Qin Lu and Qin Miao.

It seems that the two sisters Qin Lu and Qin Miao are together, and their identities are very likely to be the servants of the Crown Princess of the East Palace. The two of them could not reach the front yard, so they came to this junction first and left a mark.

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

Ugly time, that is, from 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 already completely dark, and the lanterns lit in the yard were very dim. Yue Xingwen wanted to find a chance to sneak out. At this moment, someone suddenly walked in through the gate. The guard at the gate immediately and respectfully gave way. Yue Xingwen heard the people around him shouting "His Royal Highness" from a distance.

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 have close contact with His Royal Highness.

After a while, another person strutted into the gate. The person who can enter the prince's mansion in such an open and honest manner, needless to say, must be Li Yuanji, the King of Qi who has a close relationship with Li Jiancheng.

Soon, the light was lit in the study, and the two sat together as if they were discussing something.

Yue Xingwen thought for a moment and decided to go forward and listen. In case he was discovered, he also had the skills to stand by and save his life.

In the darkness, Yue Xingwen directly activated the speed of the "Wind and Lightning" skill. The surrounding guards only felt a gust of wind blowing from the side, and Yue Xingwen sneaked behind the study in just a few seconds.

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

A deep voice said: "The Turks peeped at the border of Tang Dynasty and wanted to take the opportunity to raid. Now, the father has promised you to lead the army, and you have obtained the brave generals under the Qin king, with tens of thousands of mercenaries. I also have 3,000 under my command. Changlin soldiers, it's easy to deal with Li Shimin."

Another male voice laughed loudly: "Brother Huang is right, General Yuchi and Qin Shubao of the Qin Palace have become my subordinates, and they will go out with me in a few days."

Li Jiancheng said: "Yu Chi Gong and others, since they have fallen into your hands, you will take the opportunity to go out and take them all..."

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

The voice was deliberately lowered, and Yue Xingwen could not hear clearly outside the door. But think about it and know that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are going to take advantage of the opportunity of "leading troops to go on an expedition" to kill Li Shimin's proud generals and weaken Li Shimin's power.

Yue Xingwen frowned and continued to listen—

Li Jiancheng said: "Before you set off on the expedition, I will invite the King of Qin to pay for you in the Kunming Pool. At that time, I will arrange for a warrior to stab him to death in the tent, and then play the father and emperor, and say that he died of a sudden illness."

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

There were whispers in the house, and the specific arrangement of Yue Xingwen could not be heard clearly.

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

The bright moon hangs high, and this night will be a turning point in the history of the Tang Dynasty.

If Li Shimin can't grasp the news, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's conspiracy is likely to succeed, and the wheel of history will be deviated from the track. Until this moment, Yue Xingwen did not understand the meaning of "returning history to the right track" in the course examination.

In this course, 12 of them will play various historical characters to promote the development of the plot. They must ensure that history follows the original direction and does not deviate from the trajectory.

Li Shimin must not have an accident!

Yue Xingwen no longer hesitated, and used the skill of "speeding with lightning" 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.

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

Yue Xingwen whispered: "This is not the 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 "Jin Chan escapes the 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 that the library arranged for me is Wang Ye."

Qin Miao's eyes widened in surprise: "Wang Ye? Li Shimin's undercover agent in the East Palace?"

Yue Xingwen nodded: "Yeah. I just heard the conversation between Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. They plan to find someone to assassinate Li Shimin when they practice for Li Yuanji in Kunming Pool."

Qin Miao frowned and said calmly, "In the ninth year of Wude, the first day of the sixth lunar month, there are only a few days left before the Xuanwumen change. We must hurry up and tell Li Shimin the news."

Qin Lu said helplessly: "If the news cannot be passed smoothly, the change in Xuanwumen will not happen?"

Qin Miao said: "The process of history is linked to each other, and every link cannot go wrong. At this time, although Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng had many contradictions, they have not really turned against each other. After knowing that Li Jiancheng was going to assassinate him and deceive him Only after he became a subordinate did he make up his mind to turn passive into active."

The event that triggered his determination was the conspiracy of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

Yue Xingwen did not expect that the library would actually arrange such an important task for him. Although Wang Yan was only a nobody in history, in the story of the Xuanwu Gate change, this little person was the real fuse, which completely ignited Li Shimin's anger.

The question now is... how is he going to meet Li Shimin?

The author has something to say: The copy of the historical task flow will let the protagonists experience some historical events of the Tang Dynasty in person. I think this is more interesting than solving the case in the overhead dynasties.
