Tang riddles

Three days later, on June [-]th, in the study room of the Baqiao farmhouse.

Sitting behind the desk, Shen Sui was holding a secret letter that had just been delivered and carefully looked at it.Above the guest seats, Li Jinyue, Xu Jie, Cheng Yan, Zhang Ruohan, Shen Jin, Qianhe, Sima Chengzhen, Senior Brother Chen, and Chang'an Headquarters Cui Qian were all present.Xu Jie and Cheng Yan just rushed back from Lishan yesterday, because they are not official officials of the imperial court, but Li Jinyue's personal staff, after Li Jinyue's incident, the two reacted quickly and fled immediately. By the time they arrived, they had already left the range of Lishan's search.It took some time to contact the two of them afterwards, so they arrived at Baqiao later than Shen Sui and the others.

After reading the secret letter, Shen Sui raised his head from behind the letter and said:

"New news from Lishan, Jinyue's soldier talisman was not found, the place where we buried our clothes was dug up, Jinyue's pocket was not in it, it should have been taken away."

Li Jinyue's heart that had been hanging for three days finally sank, and she sighed, "Things are always going in the worst direction."

"As for who took the soldier talisman, there are clues." Shen Sui glanced at her and said, "Cui Tuozhu, Senior Brother Chen, when you sent Qin Nulian and maidservants out of the city in the early morning of the eighth day of the lunar new year, you met at Tonghua Gate who claimed to be Li Linfu The house slaves, and the five sharp archers around him, these people are not real Li Linfu's house slaves, they are Yin Yuyue's eyeliner planted beside Li Linfu. That night, not only did this happen at the Tonghua Gate, but also the people in the north Fanglinmen also had an accident. It was also a person who claimed to be a guest of Xiao Song. He wanted to leave the city with a curfew order. It was abolished, and no one was allowed to leave the city at night."

"What does Yin Yuyue mean by removing all the eyeliners he had planted around the powerful ministers? And it is so urgent that he will be forced out of the city overnight." Senior Brother Chen asked.

"He didn't have enough manpower. He had to chase something, so he had to send people from Chang'an to chase it. And it was not clear where this thing was going. He specially divided his troops into two groups, one from the northeast side and the other from the northwest side. .”

"Soldier Talisman?" Li Jinyue asked.

Shen Sui nodded.

"So, Yin Yuyue didn't get the soldier talisman." Cui Qian seemed relieved.

"But this person obviously has his eyes on my soldier talisman, otherwise he wouldn't know that I lost the soldier talisman so quickly. Maybe when we ran away that day, Yin Yuyue's people would quietly follow behind, waiting for the opportunity to get it Take our soldier talisman." Li Jinyue said.

"Yin Yuyue's original plan was to let the saint take you away quietly after taking you into custody, but you broke out unexpectedly and broke through. In his haste, he had no choice but to send someone to chase you. However, he There is absolutely not enough manpower on Mount Li. Yin Yuyue has not infiltrated the palace for a long time, and he can control not enough people, so he has no way to be tough on us, so he can only follow behind and wait for the opportunity. But he didn't expect , There is another group of people following us, and this group of people took your soldier talisman first."

"Whose one? Do you have a clue?" Zhang Ruohan asked.

"It should be the man of King Shou." Shen Sui said.

"Eighteen! It's this kid..." Li Jinyue was a little surprised.

"We were looking for the weakest breakthrough in the encirclement of Lishan that day. The general who led the troops was a member of King Shou, to be precise, a member of Li Linfu. The only person who could appear there the fastest at that time was King Shou. And At the place where we buried our clothes, there were many fresh horseshoe marks around the place, all of which were military-style horseshoes. The person who took the burden got off his horse and walked around the area on foot, and then found our buried The place where the clothes were placed, and the pocket was taken from it. The soldier talisman in it obviously did not return to the hands of the saint. This can be seen from the fact that the saint issued three consecutive edicts to Youzhou in the past two days, and he wanted to release the soldier talisman immediately. The right to deploy troops. Right now, the saint's troop dispatch edict and soldier talisman have been rushed to Youzhou eight hundred miles away. The saint wants to mobilize all the troops except Li Jinyue's deployment, and remove the military power of the army under Li Jinyue. And Shouwang Obviously, he wanted to send Jinyue's soldier talisman to Youzhou before the edict arrived in Youzhou. Come back, that's why he was so eager to mobilize his people in Chang'an City overnight, and he didn't hesitate to force him out of the city to chase him."

"What does Eighteen want to do? He wants to rebel?" Li Jinyue asked.

"Now it seems that it is indeed true. He didn't know when he had the heart of rebellion, and he put it into practice under circumstances that no one could have imagined. When the saint's edict arrives, he only needs to take away the saint's soldier amulet and kill him. Sending envoys and forging edicts, they can use the excuse that the sage was robbed by traitors to serve the king and lead the army to the south. If that step is really reached, the soldiers will overwhelm the country, and even the sage will have to give him the crown prince. If he forces the sage to abdicate, he will It will reach the top of the Great Treasure." Shen Sui said.

Li Jinyue suddenly felt it was ridiculous, and really laughed out loud.Shen Sui also showed a smile, and the two looked at each other, seeing the tacit understanding in each other's eyes.

Li Jinyue shook her head with a smile and said: "Hehehe... Alas, a little soldier talisman can make Yin Yuyue die in a hurry. This is considered unintentional, I will tease Yin Yuyue for everyone first."

"However, it's not yet the time for us to be happy. Bingfu can only mobilize obedient troops, and disobedient troops will not bother with the Bingfu edict in front of him. We can't guarantee how many troops there are in Youzhou Obedient troops, but Jinyue's directly subordinate troops are obviously the best, and they are also what Yin Yuyue wants most, this army obviously recognizes soldiers, and it is also the best to mobilize."

"Then what should we do now?" Xu Jie asked.

"Jinyue, Yujie, Ah Li, please write to the generals you know well in Youzhou immediately, explain the situation, and ask them to stand still, and don't listen to anyone's order, and they can't stick to it. The more letters you write The better, the words must be sincere, and I will let Qianyumen spread it to Youzhou immediately. In particular, we must let Yu Chiyan who stays in Youzhou pay attention. She is currently in charge of Jinyue's direct troops, and she must keep her eyes open. It's clear, the situation in Youzhou is too complicated, it's impossible to tell who is the enemy and who is the friend."

"Understood." The three nodded.

"Lotus Maid, Qin Nu, and Cui Tuozhu, we must immediately mobilize all the intelligence departments of Qianyumen to take action, especially to obtain all the information on the road from Chang'an to Youzhou, and find out the movement of the soldiers. But don't do anything for now. Soldier talisman, this soldier talisman is a hot potato, whoever holds it will be unlucky."

Zhang Ruohan and Shen Jin nodded to express their understanding.

"Qianhe, I want to entrust you to take an elite team from Qianyumen to run with Sima Tianshi and Senior Brother Chen. Our biggest enemy right now is just the Daomen. Daomen's intelligence network must not be taken lightly. Now The Dao Sect fell into the hands of Yin Yuyue and became his eyes and ears, so we must first regain control of the Dao Sect."

"Thank you Bozhao, I have caused you trouble for my teacher." Sima Chengzhen smiled.

"Master, what are you talking about? If you want to say that you are causing trouble, it is the disciple who caused you trouble. The disciple has the responsibility to help you clean up the house." Shen Sui said quickly, "In addition, master, you must be careful, Yin Yuyue has always Keeping your life is probably because of something in you, you must pay attention to your side, don't take it lightly."

"Don't worry, I understand. I think what Yin Yuyue is interested in is probably my breathing method. For him, this set of breathing methods I created by myself is a unique skill for him to prolong his life. He must want to force me. This set of breathing method." Sima Chengzhen said.

Shen Sui nodded to express his understanding.Finally, she cast her eyes on everyone and said loudly:

"It should be noted that our enemies may be Fusu people whose appearance is not much different from those of the Western Regions, or it may be the forces left in the territory of Dongpu, and it is more likely to be Taoist priests from the Taoist sect. In the operation, there may be omissions. People from the beggar gang and the three religions and nine streams may also belong to Yin Yuyue. In the next operation, these people must be paid attention to. In any case, the situation is urgent, and we will do our best to It's time to go. Let's get up and prepare for the war! The horn of war has already sounded, and strive to defeat the enemy from the level of information warfare! Action!"

"Here!"

……

Lishan Huaqing Palace, Xixuan of Luoxia Palace, Longevity King Li Mao is having a secret talk with Li Linfu.

"His Excellency King Shou, I just received the news that the soldiers' talisman has arrived near Chenliu in Bianzhou, and it is less than ten days away from Youzhou."

"Are the two generals Tong and Chen reliable?" King Shou asked.

"Don't worry, it's absolutely reliable. In recent years, they have been passing on the information about Youzhou to the subordinates. There is absolutely no problem with loyalty. When the soldier talisman arrives in Youzhou, we can seize the opportunity and win the military power in Youzhou first."

"Okay! This time, I finally did not fall behind King Zhong."

"Lord King's influence in Youzhou cannot be underestimated. He cooperated with Li Jinyue and seized too many opportunities for us. Perhaps many generals are really loyal to him. And Li Jinyue, although she has lost her military power and become a fugitive, But she has a very high prestige in the army, and many people in the middle and low-level generals admire her. Once these low-level generals are in turmoil, the foundation of the army will collapse. Right now, it is unknown where Li Jinyue has fled, but we must Be on guard against her, lest she gather troops to make a comeback."

"Well, I understand." King Shou nodded.

"Your Excellency King Shou, success or failure depends on one move. Whether you will ascend to the throne or miss the throne is just a short distance away. If you really want to avenge your mother and don't want to be manipulated by King Zhong, you must have firm confidence. " Li Linfu encouraged.

"Don't worry, the revenge of killing one's mother is irreconcilable, King Zhong, I want him to pay with blood!" Shou Wang gritted his teeth.

……

At the same time, in the Nuan Pavilion of Chaolu Hall, Zhong Wangzheng was furious:

"What's going on! You mean Li Jinyue's soldier talisman was taken by Shiba? Where did you get the news?"

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency, King Zhong. The source of the news is absolutely reliable. It was heard by the people placed next to King Shou. They have sent the soldier talisman to Youzhou as quickly as possible. I have sent people to chase after it." Right Minister Xiao Song cupped his hands. road.

"Damn it! Li Jinyue's military power belongs to this king! The flesh of this king's mouth has disappeared like this?"

"Your Majesty Zhong, be safe and don't be impatient. Even if they sent the soldier talisman first, they would not be able to mobilize Li Jinyue's army without His Majesty's edict and His Majesty's soldier talisman. That army has always been strict and well-trained. We just need to write an urgent letter to Youzhou immediately, warning all the generals to abide by the military order and not to act without authorization, otherwise the official position will be lost. Deliver it before the soldier talisman arrives in Youzhou."

"That's not enough, what about Huangfu and Wang Zhongsi? Let them write a letter to Youzhou immediately, telling all our generals in Youzhou to pay close attention to the movement of Li Jinyue's army, and if there is any change, immediately encircle and take it down!"

"Yes."

……

Just when all forces were in the rush to attack Youzhou, a pitch-black flying eagle arrived in Youzhou first.The flying eagle landed in the tent of the army camp directly under Li Jinyue, and a fat man untied the letter box tied to the black eagle's claws.

The letter inside only wrote four simple words:

[When will it be. 】

"Cut!" The fat man let out a sneer, "What are you pulling?" Then he looked at his brother beside him, and said:

"Ready to work!"

A dangerous grin played across his bearded brother's face.

The author has something to say: what should come will always come, different worlds, the same catastrophe, will have different endings.
