Tang riddles

"Princess, Li Yu, Sun Da and Chen Bi asked to see each other, saying that they wanted to present a present to the princess and say some auspicious words."

On the night of the Yuan Dynasty, the banquet at Princess Taiping's mansion came to an end, and an attendant came to report quietly.Taiping heard the words, waved his hands impatiently and said:

"The gifts let them stay, and the people send them away. How many times have I come here, it's really difficult, next time they will be rejected."

"Here."

These three people were all servants of Emperor Wu, and they had a close relationship with Konghe Mansion.Emperor Wu arranged to do many dirty and dirty things for Konghe Mansion, most of them participated in it, including hurting Qin Lian, which was also the result of their participation in information transmission and internal and external coordination.They fell out of favor after Emperor Wu's visit and were replaced by other newly promoted servants in the palace. They were forgotten in a corner and lived a down-and-out life.They thought of the relationship between Taiping and Emperor Wu, so they wanted to join Taiping and regain power.But Taiping didn't bother to pay attention to these three people. They came countless times, but Taiping refused to see them.It's just that the three of them never gave up. As long as there is peace, they will work hard for one day.

The clepsydra is almost at the hour of You, and the last round of toasts is coming.The maids lined up into the banquet hall to present a new round of fine wine.At this moment, Lu Yifeng suddenly came to Yin Yu's side from behind, and said in a low voice:

"Da Lang, just received an urgent report from the northwest. Qin Lian's whereabouts have been found. She was kidnapped and fled. Qian Yumen is chasing her hard. The situation is urgent."

Yin Yu's heart tightened when he heard the words, and he said in a low voice:

"Wait for me, I will go to Chang'an headquarters with you later to deal with this matter."

Lu Yifeng nodded.

Yin Yu immediately turned around and said to Taiping:

"I have something urgent, I have to go out of the house immediately to deal with it."

Taiping frowned and said softly:

"What's the matter? Tell me clearly."

Yin Yu was very quick-witted, and said: "Someone came to report that there was a change in the palace, and he wanted to see me by name."

Taiping's heart trembled, and he said, "Do you need me to send troops to you?"

"No, I'll judge the authenticity of the news and come back soon. No one in Chang'an City can hurt me yet."

"Be careful." Taiping warned, then glanced at Lu Yifeng, and said, "You take good care of your son-in-law."

Lu Yifeng nodded humbly and said yes.

Yin Yu quietly got up and left the banquet, walked out from the back door of the banquet hall together with Lu Yifeng, and went to the side door of Princess Taiping's mansion, where the carriages and horses were ready, waiting for Yin Yu to set off.

Yin Yu hurried all the way through the corridor and across the courtyard, the night was dark, and the awe-inspiring cold air penetrated the thick robe on her body, piercing into the skin and bones, making her shiver uncontrollably.She seemed to smell tar vaguely, she frowned, glanced at Lu Yifeng who was carrying the lamp in front of her left, and said:

"What kind of oil do we use for this lamp, why is it so pungent?"

"I don't know. The steward seems to have just bought a batch of new oil, and the smell is not very pleasant." Lu Yifeng replied.

Yin Yu didn't ask any more questions.The two walked very fast, and soon came to the side door. Under the night, Yin Yu saw a figure with a lantern standing beside the side door by the dim light.It was the silhouette of a woman with long hair draped over her shoulders, wearing a snow-white fox fur cloak.When he got closer, he saw that it was Anna Yi.Her light brown hair was very conspicuous in the night, and her emerald green eyes showed a strange color under the yellowed light.Seeing Yin Yu coming, she bowed slightly and saluted without saying a word.

There was a strange feeling that enveloped Yin Yu. When she stepped into the car and finally looked back at Princess Taiping's mansion in the dark night from the car window, it seemed as if she had fallen into the thick turpentine, gradually suffocating and sinking, which made her momentarily Some can't breathe.She could not have expected that this was the last time she looked back at Princess Taiping's mansion, and it was also the last time she walked through the streets of Chang'an.

From Changlefang to the Qianyumen headquarters near Dongshi, all you need to do is go straight south.The carriage hurriedly drove through the night, passed by Daning and Anxing two squares, then turned eastward suddenly and entered an alley.Yin Yu suddenly felt something was wrong, but it was too late, a cold blade pierced diagonally from outside the carriage, Yin Yu couldn't dodge it, he was hit immediately, and was stabbed under the rib on the right side.She gasped, subconsciously raised her hand to draw the saber from her waist, and suddenly realized that she was walking too hastily and dropped the Hongming saber in the mansion.She gritted her teeth, raised her hand and pressed against the wall of the carriage, forcibly pulled out the sharp knife stuck under her ribs, and fell to the left.At that time, there was another person riding with her, and that person was Annayi.She was sitting in her original position indifferently, watching Yin Yu being plotted against, and had no intention of saving her at all.

Yin Yu raised his hand to grab Anna Yi, her snow-white cloak was stained red with his bloody palm.Yin Yu was throbbing with pain all over his body, sweat was profuse on his face, and he was as pale as paper.She endured the severe pain, staring at Annayi with her eyes.In the darkness, she finally saw the expression on Anna Yi's face clearly.She saw tears swirling in Annayi's eyes, she was biting her lower lip tightly, her whole body was trembling helplessly.

Yin Yu raised his trembling hand, took out the jade flute wrapped in a white brocade and gold silk headband from his arms, stuffed it into Annayi's hand, and said in a trembling voice:

"Give it to... Akashi... protect her... I trust you... I trust... you..."

With her jaw trembling, Anayi tightly covered her mouth, forcing herself to hold back the wailing that welled up in her throat.She grabbed what Yin Yu gave her and quickly stuffed it into her sleeve.The next moment, the carriage stopped, the rear door of the carriage was roughly opened, and one person jumped into the carriage, raised a sharp knife and stabbed again.

Yin Yu rolled forward desperately, and rolled directly from the front curtain of the carriage. Her body hit the horse's back. Amid the neighing of the horse, she staggered and rolled to the ground, avoiding the stab.The driver who drove the car disappeared at some point, and Yin Yu's lungs were injured when he was stabbed, and it was already very difficult for her to breathe.Her chest was like a leaking bellows, she gasped desperately, got up and ran forward.Blood rolled down her side, staining her robe red and dripping to the ground.In the night, the bitter cold wind sliced ​​across her throat, and the fishy and sweet breath filled her nasal cavity.

There was a sound of running fast behind him, and the sharp blade struck again.Yin Yu knew that he couldn't escape at all, and he had to fight hard to survive this calamity.She pulled out the dagger hidden in the sleeve, turned around and waved it, and with a clang, she took over the opponent's round of attacks.Turning around, she saw Lu Yifeng standing in front of her ruthlessly, one blow missed, and the next blow came mercilessly, leaving no room for Yin Yu to breathe.

Yin Yu's palms were full of sweat, and she couldn't hold the dagger. She tried her best to catch Lu Yifeng's three moves, but the dagger was finally knocked down. She staggered, trying to dodge Lu Yifeng's attack, one step, two steps, three Step by step, the wound grew bigger and bigger, the blood flowed more and more, and it became more and more difficult to dodge. There were two more stab wounds on the left shoulder and right abdomen. The triangular/bayonet in Lu Yifeng's hand was something she had never seen before. Come.And his dominant hand suddenly changed to his left hand, all his moves that Yin Yu was familiar with became unfamiliar, and his deformed little finger was held on the handle of the knife, which was extremely dazzling.

Finally, Yin Yu was cornered by Lu Yifeng.She was no longer able to resist, her whole body was bathed in blood, and her mouth was also vomiting blood due to the lung injury, which was scarlet.She leaned against the wall behind her and sat slumped on the ground, Lu Yifeng's bayonet stopped at her throat, and if she stabbed an inch further, she would bid farewell to this world.Yin Yu suddenly laughed, laughing so desolately, even madly.

"Yin... Yuyue, I really... believe you, evil person..."

"I know you have become suspicious. If I don't kill you tonight, I will miss the opportunity. Don't worry, I will take good care of Lian'er after you die." "Lu Yifeng" said flatly without emotion.

"...I want you...to be wiped out...with no place to die!!!" Yin Yu roared with red eyes and a hoarse voice.

"What I want is your madness and resentment. The medicine may be very effective." "Lu Yifeng" sneered, and the bayonet suddenly moved forward, piercing into Yin Yu's throat.Yin Yu's eyes were wide open, and there was a whimpering sound from her throat. After a while, the breath of life mercilessly slipped away from her eyes, leaving only a dead silence.

Anna got out of the carriage and stood far away, not daring to approach. "Lu Yifeng" lifted the bayonet, pulled off Yin Yu's head, cut open the back of her neck, and slowly stabbed the bayonet into her spinal cord...

Annayi closed her eyes, resisting the nausea that made her want to vomit, and heard the sound of the butcher's blade cutting flesh and blood when she was brutally slaughtered, her heart was completely empty, only the two items in her sleeves remained. human temperature.

What have I done... This question, she has asked herself for more than ten years, every time she keeps committing sins, she will ask herself repeatedly.

The butcher's slaughtering method was neat and ended quickly. He was covered in blood and walked to Annayi's side with a smell all over his body.He held three vials in his hand and handed her two of them. The vials had a strange temperature, scalding into her heart.

"Great tonic medicine, one of which is yours, take it as soon as possible, I don't want you to die too soon, I need you to help me get the next generation's medicine." The butcher's words revealed unparalleled cruelty, "In addition One bottle, you send Fei Liti to the Western Regions and give it to Lian'er. Don't tell me what it is, I don't want her to know."

Anayi saw that there was an identical porcelain bottle in his hand, which was stained with blood, and he stuffed it into his sleeve.The butcher took one last look at her and said:

"Go, continue what you should do according to the original plan."

Anna Yi shuddered all over, turned around and walked away as if fleeing.She took a last look at the bloody slaughterhouse, and there were two men in black coming out of the darkness, carrying a cross, nailing the poor corpse to the cross, and carrying it into the carriage.

That night became her lifelong nightmare, as if something in her heart was completely broken, madness occupied her mind, and the darkness finally dragged her into the abyss completely.

She turned her footsteps abruptly and headed towards the Qinglong Temple, and right behind her, there was already a fire lighting up the night sky...

……

The master and guests of Princess Taiping's Mansion didn't know that the last round of toasts they drank contained a strong sweat medicine.Not to mention that this glass of wine is the last glass of wine in this life.Not long after drinking it, no one in the banquet hall was awake anymore.For double insurance, the assassins who sneaked into Princess Taiping's mansion put drugs in every room and hall to ensure that no one in the mansion survived.

The wooden carved horse that was transported to Princess Taiping's mansion earlier had its abdominal organs opened, and a large amount of tar was filling the oil barrels one by one.Until all the oil in the horse's belly ran out, the assassins followed the rehearsal beforehand, pressed the mechanism hidden in the horse's tail, opened the horse's belly, disassembled the horse and reassembled it, and soon formed a very weird and exaggerated boat coffin.

These assassins were all the sergeants of the prince's garrison back then. They were the most vigorous and agile men. They were selected and secretly formed a 20-member troop to train specially for this day. They have been training for nearly three months. .Two of them were good climbers and were assigned other tasks. The remaining 18 people sneaked into the busy Princess Taiping Mansion while the night was dark, and carried out the long-planned assassination plan.

This is an unusual assassination plan, because it is not only necessary to eliminate the target, but also to strictly complete the special killing method according to the instructions.All of this is for the purpose of eradicating evil spirits and purifying sins.

So Princess Taiping was put on a large mourning dress while she was asleep, and she was put into the boat coffin. Four strong men lifted the boat coffin and exiled her into the Qihuang Pool. The eldest princess of the great Tang Dynasty.

Not long after, dozens of courtyards and hundreds of buildings in Princess Taiping's Mansion were all ignited by the fire. The raging fire crackled and burned, engulfing all people and things related to Taiping.

After the murderers lit the fire, they retreated.These assassins may have anticipated to some extent what would happen to their lives after committing this crime.The only thing waiting for them is death, but it is only a matter of time.Some people lost their lives not long after, and some people hid in secret until more than ten years later, they were dug out again by someone with a heart, and died unexpectedly.But Wu Lun was never saved in the end.

The fire was extremely blazing, and the red light reflected the sky, as if there was a fiery ostrich wailing in the night sky.On the night of Shangyuan, the people of Chang'an, who were immersed in the hilarity, fell into incomparable shock.

Chishi, who walked back to the princess mansion from Suzaku Avenue, saw the fire engulfing her home, her first reaction was the safety of her family.The front door was blocked by patrol officers and soldiers trying to put out the fire. She had to brave the danger of savage tongues of flames to sneak back to the mansion through a secret passage, and what she saw was exiled in the Qihuang Pool, in the burning boat coffin, the blurred princess figure.She tried to save her, but she jumped into the pool and couldn't get any closer.

She climbed up to the shore, soaked all over, and staggered through the burning mansion. There was thick smoke billowing everywhere, especially the banquet hall, which was half collapsed, and she could no longer approach.

The princess is dead... where is Dad?Qin slave... Qin slave!

She ran to Qin Nu's house and found Qin Nu who was crushed by the collapsed beams and Qin Nu's nurse who was dead.She gritted her teeth, wept, roared, and desperately used her immature hands to move away the beams and dragged Qin Nu out.Another collapsed pillar hit her right back, and the burning fire quickly burned a large area of ​​skin on her back, and even injured her neck and right cheek.The pain made her numb, and only one thought sustained her.

To live!

"Ah!!!" She roared, exhausting the last strength in her body, carrying the piano slave on her back, rushing out of the sea of ​​flames, rolling down on the stone brick floor in the courtyard, and fainted instantly.

Feliti, who has been guarding near the Princess Mansion, found the two fainted sisters and rescued them.When leaving the princess mansion that was engulfed in flames, he didn't notice that the jade pendant around Chishi's neck that never left his body fell into the back alley.He met Lu Yifeng and Annayi at the gate of the city.After leaving the city, the three parted ways halfway, Fei Liti took the blood marrow given to him by Annayi and went to the Western Regions, while Annayi went into hiding.Lu Yifeng personally took the two sisters to meet Yizheng who was guarding outside Chang'an City. In order to make Yizheng believe that Yin Yu was dead, he deliberately handed over the Hongming knife that Yin Yu almost never left to Yizheng's hands.Desperate, Yiyan thought that there were indeed pursuers behind her, hurriedly drove the carriage, and fled back to Jinling with the two sisters.Lu Yifeng feigned death, and his identity has completely returned to darkness since then.

After hiding, Annayi wandered around Chang'an, and after Tang Shisan and others snatched Yin Yu's body, she was cremated and buried.As for the two items that Yin Yu left for her, she hid them from then on, never daring to peek at them, nor dare to move her thoughts.Because she was afraid that once she peeped, the Gu worm implanted in Yin Yuyue's brain in the early years would explode.After many years, she finally made up her mind to take it out, and handed it over to Shen Sui according to Yin Yu's instructions, and finally gave her life for it.

After [-] years of mourning from Luanhuang, the truth has finally come to light.

The author has something to say: the Huangyun Chapter is over, and the biggest mystery throughout the whole text has been completely solved until this chapter. The only suspense next is who Yin Yuyue pretends to be.The riddle is almost over, I don’t know if June can finish it, but no matter what, I will start well and finish well.
