Tang riddles

Shen Sui took Li Jinyue and Yang Yuhuan, pretended to be servants delivering food, and walked towards the chef of Shangshan Bureau on the southwest side of Huaqing Palace with a pole and a basket of vegetables.Li Jinyue's big sword was hidden in the hollow pole, Shen Sui and Li Jinyue each picked up one end, and Yang Yuhuan walked beside them, carrying two vegetable baskets in their hands.And Shen Sui had obviously surveyed the route long ago, and also knew the best way to escape.Along the way, they managed to avoid all the searching guards without arousing any suspicion.

The thunderstorm passed by in a flash, and they stayed in the hiding room until the rain stopped before coming out.It was an empty house, originally a guest room, but no one is currently living in it.Shen Sui didn't hide there all the time. She had been looking for Li Jinyue since she escaped from the soup pool. Afterwards, she simply waited and waited near the main hall. She really saw Li Jinyue's figure, and saw Li Jinyue carrying Yang Yuhuan came out, so she followed.Then she took a step ahead, went around to the rear, checked whether the room behind the wall where Li Jinyue and Yang Yuhuan were hiding could hide, and finally rescued them at a critical moment.

As for the vegetable baskets and poles they carried on their shoulders, including the three sets of servants, Shen Sui snatched them from the real servants.The three servants of the Shangshan Bureau who were knocked out by her tied their hands and feet, gagged their tongues, and hid in a very secret corner. They should not be found in a short time.

When the three of them carried the vegetable baskets into the gate of the kitchen of the Shangshan Bureau, they noticed that a woman from the Shangshan Bureau, Shang Gong, was standing in the yard talking with a waiter. Shen Sui vaguely heard that they were arranging the placement and distribution of ingredients, and it happened that the two with their backs to them.Shen Sui took advantage of the fact that the female Shanggong didn't notice them, and immediately asked Li Jinyue and Yang Yuhuan to put down the vegetable basket, took out the big sword in the pole, and dodged to hide in the lane between the house wall and courtyard wall of the Shangshan Bureau. The female Shanggong turned around in the next moment and saw several vegetable baskets and poles piled up at the gate of the courtyard. She frowned and muttered: "Who put the vegetable baskets indiscriminately? I really don't listen to what I say."

On the other side, after Shen Sui confirmed that the lady Shang Gong was not suspicious, she immediately led Li Jinyue and Yang Yuhuan to the back door along the narrow path.As she walked, she explained softly:

"The back door of the Shangshan Bureau is the place where nearby vegetable farmers must pass through to deliver food, and it is also the best exit for us to escape. Right now, this opening has the least troops deployed. I have checked, and there is only one guard here, which is our best The breakthrough. Right now, Li Daitao of Qianyu Sect has already froze, and replaced all five of them. After we go out, there will be someone to respond, remember, the movements must be gentle and follow me closely."

Perhaps it was God's blessing that the three of them did not arouse anyone's suspicion during the process of sneaking out of the Shangshan Bureau.And as soon as they went out, the three of them saw two men in the armor of the Imperial Army officers and soldiers coming up to meet them.Li Jinyue recognized it at a glance, one was Cong Yun and the other was Huyan Zhuoma.The two of them also carried a big burden on their backs, and handed them to Shen Sui and Li Jinyue respectively, Hu Yanzhuoma said:

"Hurry up and put them on, these are three sets of forbidden army armor. It's not easy for us to escape from Mount Li. Bai Hao scouted around, and there are forbidden army everywhere."

"Okay." Without saying a word, Shen Sui, together with Li Jinyue and Yang Yuhuan, immediately took off the outer robes of the inner servants, put on the armor, and took the standard horizontal knife used by the soldiers of the imperial army.During the process, Cong Yun explained to them which three soldiers wore the robes on their respective bodies, what characteristics these soldiers had, and what their names were, so that if they were interrogated, they could get away with it.The three of Shen Sui took notes carefully while getting dressed.And these messages are the result of conversations between Congyun and Huyan Zhuoma, who were pretending to be vegetable farmers delivering vegetables, and the five soldiers guarding the gate. Before delivering the vegetables, the two of them observed from a distance for a while.

"Come with us." Cong Yun waved and led the crowd towards the southeast foot of Lishan Mountain.

Along the way, they walked in no hurry, looking around like a normal patrol and search team.It was only at this time that Li Jinyue was free to talk to Shen Sui.

"Chishi, what on earth are you planning? Also, did you know about Yang Zhao bringing Yuhuan here in advance?"

Shen Sui explained with a smile: "In the past, we were always in the light and Yin Yuyue was in the dark. I just planned to turn this situation around, so I made a trick on purpose. Yin Yuyue made a quick move. Before my trick is implemented, you will Being transferred away by him, you took away most of the Gongyue Army's troops, Xu Jie and Cheng Yi were not there, the mansion was empty, and the back door of the Princess Mansion especially had a huge loophole, not even a guard.

I went to your mansion after you left, and I also met that Yang Zhao at that time.I really guessed that he had evil intentions, especially when I came to visit suddenly. He didn't expect it, and desperately stuffed a letter into the volumes piled up on the desk, as if he didn't want me to see it, and he was packing his bags. Clothes and supplies were spread out on the bed.I speculated at the time that someone might contact him to do something, and he might leave soon.I sent people from Qianyumen to keep an eye on the princess mansion, and indeed at night, I saw him coming out of the back door carrying the fainted jade ring, and got into a carriage to meet him, and there were three fierce horses riding around the carriage Men escort.My people followed them all the way to the city gate, and when they saw them leave the city with the tokens of the generals of the imperial army and the curfew order issued by the palace, they knew that someone in the palace had ordered Yang Zhao to take Yang Yuhuan to Huaxia. Qing palace.Unfortunately, I can't communicate with you, so you don't know, but I believe in your resilience. "

Li Jinyue sighed, grabbed the hand of Yang Yuhuan who was still in shock, looked at her comfortingly, and continued to say to Shen Sui: "I don't understand, isn't it my father who caused us to become like this? Could it be...you mean...Yin Yuyue Right next to the emperor?"

Shen Sui turned his head and smiled meaningfully: "If he wants to be the uncrowned king, he must be the person closest to the emperor, not only the current emperor, but also the future emperor. He has left two identities that can be used at any time. Switch. One...is your nominal husband—Li Changxue, and the other is Gao Lishi, the great eunuch next to the emperor.”

"How do you know?" Li Jinyue asked in surprise.

"This is just a reasonable guess, not a fact, and I have no chance to verify it. But there are two facts that can prove my guess. First, Li Changxue, as the most talented young talent in the Li family in Longxi, married you. In other words, Maomao, almost all of your allies in Youzhou were recruited by him. After you left Youzhou, he actually became a person who can mobilize various forces on your behalf. People. Such a key person, Yin Yuyue will not let go, even if he does not pretend to be Li Changxue, Li Changxue must be under his control. And what you did in Youzhou, someone must have reported to the emperor, this person, It is very likely that it is Li Changxue. The emperor asked him to marry you, and he had the intention of letting him monitor and control you. The emperor trusted him. He is a child of the Li family in Longxi, and he is the head of the royal family. And the surveillance report he submitted is the most important. able to convince the emperor.

Second, the emperor's attitude towards us has changed drastically, especially since he already knows my gender, my family identity, and such a secret, only Yin Yuyue can tell the emperor all about it.This is Yin Yuyue's old trick again. When my father was killed suddenly, it was because Yin Yuyue secretly told the emperor about my father's daughter and our family's secrets. The emperor couldn't accept it, so he wanted to get rid of my father.The informer back then was Lu Yifeng, disguised by Yin Yuyue.As a humble person, how Lu Yifeng met the emperor is still unknown to me.It may be that a whistleblower letter was written, or there may be a referrer.I think the latter is more likely, because the matter is of great importance, and Yin Yuyue also needs to ensure that there will be no mistakes in the transmission of this matter. He would rather tell the emperor himself, which will have a greater impact and be more sure.

The referrer, I guess the most likely person is Gao Lishi.Because Yin Yuyue is like a hunter who is good at careful calculation and will not waste any value.His hunting target is the identity he may use in the future. Before hunting his own target, he will contact the target in advance, establish a certain relationship with it, and replace it after completely draining the value of the prey.This relationship is very likely to be a control relationship, that is, the Gu worm in the brain, which is exactly the same as controlling Annayi.Of course, rhetoric is also indispensable.In this way, the people under his control will never betray him as long as they spare their lives.A backup identity can be buried for ten or eight years without moving, and then when necessary, Li Daitao becomes stiff.

As the person closest to the emperor, Gao Lishi is the person most likely to be favored by him.He may have played this move 20 years ago.It is only logical to replace Gao Lishi now.And Li Changxue, perhaps his next goal, is still to contact and establish a relationship in advance.He reserved two preparations, one is when you are the emperor, he will be your nominal husband, the closest person to you, able to contact you and control you.The second is that you failed to become the emperor, so as Gao Lishi, there will be many opportunities for him to jump to the next identity and control the new emperor.His move can be described as a perfect strategy. "

"It sounds like jumping stones across a river, he always has stepping stones." Li Jinyue said with disgust.

Shen Sui said, "I don't know how many times I cross the river by stepping on stones, my feet will always slip. And the river is very fast, if I fall into it, I will never be able to climb up again."

"Then what should we do next?" Li Jinyue asked.

Shen Sui glanced at her, beckoned her to come over, then whispered a few words in her ear, Li Jinyue showed a meaningful smile.

……

"Your Majesty!" Gao Lishi came to the emperor's dragon couch in small steps, and kowtowed to the emperor lying on the couch with a sick face, "The old slave deserves to die, for failing to protect His Majesty in a critical moment, please forgive me."

The emperor waved his hand feebly, gesturing him to get up, and then said in a hoarse voice:

"Ah Weng, have you brought my medicine?"

"Return to Your Majesty, here it is, the new furnace made by Master Sima has already been given to this old slave." Gao Lishi took out a jade bottle from his sleeve and presented it to the emperor.

The emperor couldn't wait to snatch the jade bottle from Gao Lishi's hand, opened it, and swallowed three or five pills of red bean-sized blood-red pills in it. many.

"It's much better..." the emperor sighed, "Thanks to the medicine from the Heavenly Master, I feel more energetic all these years."

Gao Lishi smiled without saying a word, took back the jade bottle and jade lamp, and tidied them up properly.

"Hateful, that rebellious girl didn't listen to what she said, she was really bewitched by that evildoer. If Li Changxue hadn't bumped into that evildoer in Youzhou to have sex, I'm afraid I would have been kept in the dark. It's really scary. , There have been so many murders in Chang'an recently, I still trust her and let her investigate, but I didn't expect that she was a murderer, and she came here for revenge!"

"Your Majesty, don't think about it so much, be careful not to get angry." Gao Lishi said humbly.

But the emperor didn't listen, and continued to babble: "There is also that Qin Zhen, as the grandfather of that monster, he must be with that monster, pretending to be eighteen, to bite the old man. [-]. Their purpose is to divide the father-son relationship between me and the third child and the eighteenth child, so that our father and son and brothers can kill each other. How vicious their intentions are! If they didn't find out in time, I would really think that these two sons were responsible for all these murders .This Qin Zhen is so hateful, he will be sentenced to death!"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, I'll deal with it when you recover." Gao Lishi echoed.

"It's just that I don't quite understand. Li Changxue knew about this more than four years ago. Why did the informant letter come into my hands only now? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have caused chaos in Chang'an City by that monster. .What went wrong here?"

"Your Majesty, after all, Li Changxue is the princess's husband. What he worries about is whether he will be implicated. If he reports on Shen Sui and implicates the princess, maybe he won't get any good results. Besides, Li Changxue is far away in Youzhou. During the transmission process, it is difficult to ensure that nothing will happen. Li Changxue finally found an opportunity to come to Beijing this time, just to meet His Majesty in person and tell His Majesty the secret. The old slave was also a person who witnessed the Yin Yu incident back then, and that Lu Yifeng was also a predecessor Only by contacting the old slave can the old slave introduce him to His Majesty, which is indeed very twists and turns." Gao Lishi explained.

"So that's how it is... Oh, I'm also to blame. A few years ago, I was a bit closed to the local government. It was very difficult to convey to the central government what happened in the local government. Especially since Li Changxue has not entered the officialdom, it is even more difficult. Already." The emperor said, "Forget it, after this incident, it is a good thing to be able to distinguish between loyalty and evil. When a few criminals are caught, I will reward several heroes. Li Changxue and that Yang Zhao are all good. Yes, I have done a lot of hard work. A Weng deserves the most credit."

"Your Majesty, this is the job of this old slave." Gao Lishi waved his hand and smiled.

"Hehehe, you old bastard, I let you say all the good things." The emperor nodded and smiled.

Gao Lishi gently rubbed the outside of his little finger with the thumb of his left hand hidden in his sleeve, and the smile on his face became more humble...
