Tang riddles

When night falls, all people and things that belong to the dark will start to move.People can't see it, don't know it, but it's often these people who happen in the dark that can turn the situation around, whether it's good or bad, it depends on whose ability is superb.

This was probably the last time Shen Sui went into the water in this life. The last time she went into the water, she was stabbed by a red-tailed lizard, which stimulated her Luanhuang blood to wake up.This time, she wanted to be able to get through the siege channel.

To operate in such a dark environment requires extremely strong night vision capabilities.The ones selected by Shen Sui were all specially trained Fushui masters from the Thousand Feathers Sect.They are not only water masters, but also stealth masters.Most of them are the top assassins in the Raven Hall. They can ignore the constraints of the terrain, go to the sky and enter the groundwater, and they are omnipotent.

Putting on the diving equipment from last time, the elite of a hundred people silently touched the base of the wall of Chang'an City, and moved quickly along the moat.The lights on the top of the city were brightly lit, and the rebels guarding the city took turns to patrol, not daring to relax for a moment. Once they found the enemy's situation, they would definitely alert the whole city immediately.But the lights couldn't reach the base of the city walls, and they didn't even think that anyone could cross the moat.

All the people involved in this operation carried a set of standard equipment on their backs, including a dagger, a short knife, five throwing knives, five arrows, gunpowder/powder tightly wrapped in oilcloth, and a A foldable longbow.All the equipment is lightweight equipment specially made by Qianyumen, and it is also a set of underwater equipment specially designed by Shen Sui after the Luoyang red-tailed lizard incident.It will not affect the action after entering the water. A certain weight can help the dive, but it will not bring too much burden.Many rubber suits have also been produced, and each branch of Qianyumen is equipped with them, just to prevent the need for underwater operations in the future.

Standing on the edge of Longshou Canal, Shen Sui observed the bottom of the water with the faint light from the top of the city. The moat of Chang'an City could be twenty feet wide, and the bottom of the water was as thick and black as ink.At the intersection of Longshou Canal and the moat, the water flow is quiet and there is almost no sound of water.The water gate under the city wall could be vaguely seen, and the gate must have been closed at this time, and the gate might weigh a thousand catties, and it was impossible to open it with the strength of a hundred of them alone.

However, if Shen Sui said that there is a passage below, then there must be. She never does anything that is not sure, and everything is done vigorously and resolutely after careful consideration.

Shen Sui silently gestured to the hundred people behind him, and they started to group into groups of ten, making ten groups in total, and standing in line.The first group stood on the edge of the moat, Shen Sui gestured and gave him some order, ten people nodded after seeing it clearly.With a wave of Shen Sui's hand, ten people jumped into the moat neatly. When entering the water, the splash was very small, submerged in the sound of the water itself, and there was no movement at all.

Repeatedly, Shen Sui sent a total of 50 people into the water, and the other 50 people took cover on the shore and waited for orders. Then Shen Sui himself got ready and jumped into the water.

In the moat at night in September, the water in the river is a little cool.The underwater is slightly turbid, probably caused by the sediment rolled up from the Longshou Canal.Shen Sui parted the current under the water, his vision was completely dark, and he could hardly see anything clearly.But relying on her own sense of direction, she moved forward without any resistance.

There were also some small fish and shrimps in the moat. During the dive, Shen Sui felt fish slipping past him.This reminded her of the red-tailed lizards in the man-made sea of ​​Shangyang Palace in Luoyang back then, and she felt a little nervous.She wasn't sure if Yin Yuyue would repeat the old trick of raising red-tailed lizards in the water again.This is also one of the risks of this operation.

Not long after, she could feel a figure appearing in front of her, and just holding her breath to the end, she immediately surfaced, panted for a while, and saw the fifty water-wilders she sent down just now, all floating nearby Awaiting her order.Right now, the 50 of them are hiding in the arch of the water gate, holding on to the closed big iron gate to save energy.

"According to the plan, the five-person team will take turns to dive, let's start." Shen Sui said.

Everyone nodded, the first five of them immediately took a deep breath, and stabbed down with a fierce one.

Shen Sui once told Qianyumen to investigate the sluice under the Longshou Canal, and knew that there was a way to go.But this path is not so simple.Because of the red-tailed lizard incident back then, not only the entire Luoyang City, but also Shen Sui, the waterway of Chang'an City, had Qian Yumen carefully inspect it, in order to completely prevent red-tailed lizards from multiplying in the waterways.At that time, Chang'an Qianyumen secretly inspected the sluice gate of Longshou Canal, and found that a piece of the steel welded and cast gate grille of the sluice gate was very rusted, and it was already showing signs of breaking.The Ministry of Industry in charge of Chang'an City's waterproofing did not seem to care about this situation, or it has been procrastinating and not dealing with it.Thanks to this, Shen Sui and the others were given a chance this time.

Now in the team of 50 people, everyone is carrying a dangerous item, which is a glass bottle containing aqua regia, which has a strong corrosive effect on metals.In a group of five, each person needs to tie his aqua regia bottle to a fixed position on the iron gate of the water gate in a special way.After all the fifty aqua regia bottles are tied up, the aqua regia will gradually flow out from the mouth of the bottle. They only need to wait for the water gate to corrode by itself. After the water flow washes away the aqua regia, they can go into the water, remove the fragile water gate, and enter Chang'an through the breach. city.

The aqua regia bottle must be installed quickly, otherwise the aqua regia will diffuse out and endanger yourself.The fifty people selected by Shen Sui were all nimble, careful and bold masters, and they took turns diving in order to complete the dive as soon as possible without causing crowding and interference.Immediately retreated ashore after the installation, and it took about half a moment to go back and forth like this, and it was all completed.

Shen Sui was the last one to go ashore, she was always upstream of the current, so she didn't need to worry about the aqua regia spilling out and hurting herself.As a leader, it is her credo to lead by example.

Aqua regia came from the Western Regions, and it is said that it is a powerful alchemical solution extracted by the Persians.Qian Yumen met him when he was doing business, so he hoarded a few catties for a rainy day.It was originally intended to be experimented with forging, but I didn't expect that it would be used for such a purpose this time.People in Chang'an City probably never dreamed that Shen Sui actually had such a powerful metal corrosion liquid in his hands.

The amount of aqua regia carried by 50 people is very large, and the water flow here is not too fast. After the aqua regia flows out, it can gather near the gate for a long time. Even if it is diluted by water, it has a strong corrosive effect.

Shen Sui and the others waited patiently on the shore, when she suddenly saw the gate shake twice, her mind should have been resolved.I waited patiently for another two quarters of an hour.Shen Sui began to give orders to let 50 people who hadn't entered the water just now go into the water to open up the passage.

After the 50 people went into the water, they found that they didn't need to break the gate, the gate had rotted a big hole by itself, 50 people took turns to get in through the hole, leaving one person behind, surfaced and sent a signal to Shen Sui.Shen Sui received the signal, and led another 50 people into the water, and followed them into the city through the entrance of the cave.

After passing the sluice, there is another long waterway extending forward, which can directly lead to the hinterland of Xingningfang.Shen Sui did not choose to continue advancing along the waterway.After passing the gate, there is a patio above, from which those who overhaul the gate can come down, and there are ladders for climbing beside it.Shen Sui then ordered everyone to go ashore to change clothes immediately, and climb out of the courtyard along the ladder.

As soon as they came up from the patio, they were equivalent to being surrounded by the enemy.This is the easternmost side of Xingning Square, within the road between the city wall and the square wall.It happened to be the edge of the key defense area, not far from Daming Palace, Shen Sui took the lead to climb up to the courtyard, and she carefully peeked out to check, just happened to have a group of patrolling soldiers passing by the courtyard.

She jumped up lightly, dodged and hid on the edge of the patio, and beckoned the people below to come up quickly.

Not long after, a hundred masters in night clothes had already filled the lanes.

Shen Sui gave an order, 100 people were divided into two groups, with 50 people in Group A, following Shen Sui's actions.The task of Group A is very heavy. It needs to break into the palace city and shoot arrows on the turret at the northeast corner of Xuanwu Gate.The remaining 50 people in Group B are responsible for taking down the Tongji Gate, responding from the side.

100 people quickly split up and acted.Shen Sui unfolded his figure and led fifty elites to sneak in the city of Chang'an at high speed, while avoiding the sight of patrolling soldiers and scouting soldiers from the top of the city, while constantly approaching the palace city of Daming.

……

In the deep night, "Gao Lishi" stood with his hands behind his back on the Longwei Building of the Zichen Hall of the Daming Palace. The palace lights were dotted with stars, and he was silent.Behind him, in the Zichen Palace, dance music was being performed, and several rebel generals guarding the city were intoxicated, including Shi Siming, who led the [-] vanguard rebels this time.He is not interested.

Footsteps sounded behind him, and an extremely handsome man appeared behind him, wasn't it Li Changxue?He only heard him call Gao Lishi respectfully:

"Father."

Gao Lishi didn't turn around, but responded lightly:

"Why, you are not interested in that banquet?"

"My son is more concerned about my father's situation." "Li Changxue" said.

"I'm very good."

"Father, you don't need to be so brave. You are old, no matter how effective Yin Yu's blood marrow medicine is, it will come to an end now."

"Gao Lishi" turned around, stared at his son, and said:

"My son, you are well aware of my situation. If you don't succeed this time, your father will not be able to accompany you any longer. Taking Shen Sui's blood this time, it would be a waste to use it on your father. The main reason is For you. Don’t let Weifu down. This Thousand Feather Sect has all kinds of means. To deal with them, Weifu has devoted all his efforts to deal with them, but he still can’t get rid of them. There is no guarantee, Qianyumen has infiltrated into the city at this moment. I miscalculated for my father, I did not expect Xiao Sanlang of the Lanling Xiao Clan to be so useless, he was killed by Xiao Silang, and lost his military power. The Lanling Xiao Clan defected, and we lost 8 people , but added 8 people to the enemy. This mistake is too painful, and more than ten years of hard work will be wiped out. Don’t talk about power right now, life-saving is the most important thing. Once the momentum is not right, you will immediately take the emperor to Bashu in the southwest Escape and hide in the birthplace of the Luanhuang Yin family, there is no problem. The regime can be abandoned, but your life must be preserved, so that the green hills will be left without worrying about no firewood. The old emperor, when you enter the land of Shu, you will be gone. Take advantage of the value and kill."

"Father, what about you?"

"Go and arrest Shen Sui and Shen Sui's daughter for you, this is the last thing that father will do for you."

"Father……"

"Yin Wangchuan, you have to cheer up, because your father is gone, and because of your father's career, you must inherit it. If you don't completely destroy the Luanhuang Yin family, you will never die. You swear in front of me now."

"Li Changxue..." Yin Wangchuan showed a look of absolute grief, knelt down, and raised his hands to swear:

"I, Yin Wangchuan, swear to the sky that I will not destroy the Luanhuang Yin clan, and I will never die! This wish will be repaid, and I will sacrifice the head of my enemy to my father's spirit in heaven!"

"What would you do if you met your mother, Yi Yan?" Yin Yuyue asked again.

"Kill!" Squeezing out the word between his teeth, Yin Wangchuan's handsome face was distorted, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Okay! It's not in vain to train you for my father for more than 20 years. Get up."

Standing under the heavy night, the father and son looked at each other, and what they saw was the dark haze in their eyes that was so thick that it couldn't be melted away.

Yin Yuyue turned her head to stare at the night sky, with a cruel sneer on the corner of her mouth.Yiyan, I didn't expect that the child you thought was born prematurely was actually still alive and raised by me to such an old age.Thanks to being a son, I, Yin Yuyue, can also have successors.I really did not make a mistake in using your belly to give birth to a child.I, Yin Yuyue, can't do it anymore, even if I can successfully get Shen Sui's blood this time, it won't be able to extend my life.But Wang Chuan will do everything for me. Your master and little master will all become Wang Chuan's supplements. Just watch how the family I built will destroy your loyal Luanhuang clan.

This enmity, this resentment, will last forever!
