Tang riddles

On the night of the ninth day of September, the soldiers of King Qin's camp had already cleaned up, and in silence, they marched to the designated location and waited.A tense atmosphere spread among the army, and the soldiers knew that they were about to face a tough battle.What they are waiting for right now is a loud arrow above the northeast corner building. With that loud arrow, their chances of surviving will increase; otherwise, the shadow of death will become more intense.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were never afraid of death, and all of them knew that they had to defend their families and the country.For Qin Wangjun in this tough battle, if he fails, he will be benevolent. If he becomes a hero, he will save the country from the fire and water.

Li Jinyue personally led the most powerful and elite fighters, guarding the northeast of Xuanwu Gate, always watching the movements on the top of the city.Beside her, Yang Yuhuan, dressed in military uniform, silently accompanied her.She knew that Li Jinyue was going through the most important battle in her life, and she was very fortunate that she was able to stay by her side.

At the same moment, Zhang Ruohan in the Baqiao headquarters dozens of miles away could not sleep.She knew that Akashi and Mao Mao were commanding the most critical battle, but it was a pity that she couldn't be by their side.She has done what she can do to the extreme, and now the only thing left is to guard the rear for them, hoping for their triumphant return.

Huang'er didn't know why tonight, probably because she had a strange connection with her mother, and she couldn't sleep well.Zhang Ruohan didn't force the child. Seeing that she couldn't fall asleep, she called her to get up and move around.Huang'er looked at her mother who was sitting at the desk, staring at the west obsessively, she was very sensible and didn't disturb her, she sat silently beside her, practicing calligraphy stroke by stroke with a pen.

Her immature pen and ink quickly wrote a poem:

"The garrison drum cuts off the walking of people, and there is a sound of geese in autumn.

Lu Cong is white tonight, and the moon is the hometown.

There is a mother who has been separated, and there is no home to ask about life and death.

The length of sending the book is not avoided, but the situation is that the army has not ceased. "

After Huang'er finished writing, she silently stared at the poems on the paper in a daze. After a long while, the little guy's eyes were red, and he started to sob and cry uncontrollably.

"Huang'er?" Zhang Ruohan was startled when he heard the child crying suddenly, and looked back to check the child's situation, but saw her weeping at a piece of paper on the table.When she picked it up, her eyes were gradually stained with tears.

"Huang'er, did you write this poem?"

The little guy pursed his mouth, sobbing while shaking his head.

"I saw it in a collection of poems, and suddenly remembered it, so I wrote it down..." She whispered, her pitiful appearance made people feel distressed.

Zhang Ruohan took the child into her arms, she really didn't know what to say at this moment, Huang'er was not yet five years old, but now she just wrote such a deeply emotional and tear-jerking poem, how could she not be moved.The child must be missing Akashi, she hasn't seen her for more than two months.

The dew is white tonight, and the moon is bright in my hometown... Before I know it, it is the season of dew in autumn, and the first quarter moon tonight is also surprisingly bright.This sentence is very well written, but the rebel army is still alive, why is it home, and where is their hometown?

Akashi, I hope you can return safely, I only hope that our family can be peaceful and happy, the years will be peaceful, and there is no more request...

……

At this moment, Shen Sui was walking quietly under the palace wall outside the Daming Palace with earnest expectations from all directions on his shoulders that were not broad.

Fifty black-clothed vanguard fighters followed her in a single file, and everyone's figure was unfolded, as mysterious and light as a civet.

They had just bypassed Changle Square, where the Jin Kingdom Princess Mansion was located, and were about to go to Yanzheng Gate, the outer gate of the East Neiyuan.There, there was a dark line from Qianyumen who stayed behind in Daming Palace to respond.Shen Sui managed to get in touch with him yesterday. He is a servant in the palace, who happens to be in the East Neiyuan.

When the group arrived near Yanzheng Gate, they were unlucky and happened to run into a group of patrolling rebels.This is a patrol team of 20 people, holding torches and striding past, Shen Sui reacted extremely quickly, and when he saw the fire at the street corner ahead, he made everyone lie down on the spot and turned over into the ditch at the root of the palace wall.

The ditch under the palace wall is less than a foot wide, and it is mainly a drainage channel for rainwater. Due to the lack of rain in recent days, the ground has dried up, covered with a layer of black mud, and exudes an unpleasant smell. .People hiding below, because the height is not enough to cover the body, have to bow their backs and get as close to the bottom of the ditch as possible to completely hide.A row of NO.50 people hid in this ditch, and almost everyone tried not to let their soles touch the ground, so as not to be stained with mud and leave marks when walking.So I had to use my arms to prop up my lower body, so that I was almost in a state of sticking to the mud.The stench was magnified several times immediately, making people roll their eyes.

Shen Sui had never suffered such a crime, but she did not dare to say a word, she tensed her nerves and observed the light of the torch coming from outside the ditch.After the light faded away, she waited for a while, probed to observe the situation outside, and saw that there was no one around, and then gave the order to continue to act.

A group of people waited out of the gutter, quickly stepped out, checked the soles of the shoes, cleaned up the dirt on the soles, regardless of the dirt on their bodies, and immediately gathered at the gate of Yanzheng.Hiding in the shadow of the doorway, Shen Sui imitated the sound of a night owl and whistled.Not long after, the palace gate slowly opened a small gap, just enough for a person to pass sideways.Shen Sui immediately dodged in, and at the same time he raised his snow knife wrapped in black cloth to guard against sneak attacks inside the door.

But the situation is not bad, there is only the young servant in the door to meet them.This servant's surname is Wang, Xing Qi, who was introduced to Shen Sui by Yang Bi.He has an extraordinary relationship with Yang Bi. When Yang Bi was still working at Yushitai Library, it was rumored that he had a habit of cutting off his sleeves. from.Although Wang Qi has not joined Qianyumen for a long time, but after inspection, he has no second intentions.Now it is even more useful.

"Ah Qi, how is it in the palace?" Shen Sui greeted the 50 people outside the door to come in quickly, while taking advantage of the gap to talk to Wang Qi.

"It's a rare opportunity tonight. Several generals of the rebel army are drunk, including King Shou and Li Linfu, who have just been put to bed. Gao Lishi and Li Changxue haven't gone to bed yet, and they are discussing something in the East Nuan Pavilion of Zichen Palace. This happened half an hour ago. I purposely went around the Zichen Hall where the banquet was held and found out about it. After that, I will wait for you at Yanzheng Gate. I can’t be sure if the two are still there .”

"Where are your majesty and the ministers?"

"Your Majesty was imprisoned in solitary confinement in the Linde Hall. I know it was because they tied His Majesty to the top of the city two days ago. When I came back, I broke his whereabouts. The rest of the ministers were imprisoned in the outer court, and almost all of them were locked in the Zhongshu Province. Inside the prime minister's hall. I found an opportunity to go to the prime minister's hall these two days to deliver meals to the ministers. I saw Junfu (Yang Bi's character) in it. He was calm, and now he has become the backbone of the ministers. Stabilize the mood of the ministers. Several major ministers know about our actions tonight, and are ready and waiting for you." Wang Qi quickly explained.

"Okay, you've done a good job. Now, you leave the palace immediately to Tonghua Gate, and tell the dark crow cousins ​​over there that we have entered the palace city. Then follow them and wait for the opportunity to leave the city."

"Master, what about you?" Wang Qi asked.

"We still have tasks we must complete, and yours has been accomplished."

Wang Qi was solemn, looked at Shen Sui's eyes with respect, cupped his hands and said:

"Master, take care, when everything is stable, we will sing the wine!"

"Okay!" This servant has a chic quack air about him, which is why Shen Sui recruited him to join Qianyu Sect.

The two clapped their hands lightly, and Wang Qi turned around and slipped out of the Yanzheng Gate.

Shen Sui began to distribute the manpower. She selected ten people from the 50 people and ordered them to go to Zhongshu Province to rescue the officials immediately.

"After saving the man, send him directly to the Princess of Jin's mansion. Be sure to ensure the safety of the officials, and don't let the rebels find out."

The group leader headed by the ten-member group took a step forward, bowed his hands to express his order, and immediately led the other nine people to quickly unfold their figures and rush towards Zhongshu Sheng.

Shen Sui led the remaining 40 people through the East Neiyuan, entered the Longshouyuan where the Longshouchi was located, and then entered the Zhongchao within the second palace wall through the Longshouyuan, and went straight to the Chongming Gate.

The journey was surprisingly smooth, without encountering any obstacles, and without encountering any teams patrolling the palace.

But the situation changed after entering Chongmingmen.After the Chongming Gate is the harem of the Daming Palace. As soon as you enter the gate, you can hear the sound of orderly footsteps and noise. The sky above the palace in the dark night is illuminated by the light of torches. Obviously, there are a large number of soldiers gathered in the palace. .

Shen Sui ordered ten people to go up to the roof immediately to find out the situation of the road leading to Xuanwu Gate, and then wait near the Pao Ma Lou.She herself took the remaining 30 people and headed northwest to Linde Hall.She planned to rescue the emperor first, so that the emperor would not remain a hostage in the hands of the rebels, making them extremely passive in fighting.

Walking through the Daming Palace in the night, everything seems extremely mysterious.If the rebel army hadn't occupied Chang'an City, Shen Sui probably wouldn't have had such an opportunity to stride through the palace so arrogantly in his life.There was no one in the surroundings, the servant maid disappeared, the towering palace walls, the quiet and deserted corridors, the cornices of the palace in the dense night were looming under the dim light.The hustle and bustle is noisy in the distance, but it is difficult to hear the insects nearby.

Cold sweat rolled down Shen Sui's forehead, and she suddenly felt ominous.He stopped abruptly, raised his hand and clenched his fist, signaling the team to stop and be alert immediately.

The moment she ordered the team to stop, a cousin of the Dark Crow fell down behind her with a muffled grunt. Before he fell, Shen Sui heard the hum of the bowstring trembling and the sharp sound of the arrow piercing the air. Sharp sound.

"Concentrate on defense!"

Shen Sui gave the order immediately.At that moment, all 30 people, including Shen Sui, formed a circle back to back, with a dagger drawn in their hands to block in front of them.These masters, under precaution, can still block arrows with swords instead of shields.

However, if the arrows are too dense and come from all directions, then it will be difficult to deal with, so this must rely on the strength of teammates, and hand over the unstoppable back to teammates.

Right now they are in Da Nei, which happens to be near the Mingyi Hall which is not far from Linde Hall. The buildings here are very dense, and they can't guarantee that they will not be suppressed by the high places as they shuttle below.But there is no way to do this. In fact, if Shen Sui could go to a high place, he would have left long ago. There is no building to climb before Mingyi Hall, they can only walk on the ground, and the opponent obviously caught them by surprise.

Sure enough, as soon as Shen Sui gave the order, dense arrows came through the air, Shen Sui couldn't think about anything else at the moment, Xue Dao brazenly unsheathed, swung it like a knife flower, and concentrated on defending against the arrows.

The sound of "jingling, jingling" and metal hitting came one after another, and there was a dull moan of pain from time to time.Sweat had already wet Shen Sui's back, she desperately wanted to find a shelter to hide in, but the density of arrows made her unable to even take a step back.

I don't know how long this long rain of arrows lasted. Shen Sui seemed to feel as long as a lifetime in a trance. Will put cold arrows.

Behind her, there were five Raven Hall fighters who were still intact; another 13 people were shot by arrows, but they were not fatal for the time being; the last 12 people all fell in a pool of blood.

"Shen Sui, I've been waiting for you for a long time." On the top of Mingyi Hall, a tall figure dressed in high-ranking servants appeared.This person is "Gao Lishi" Yin Yuyue.

Shen Sui kept his defense unrelenting, and looked at him coldly.

"You are going to the Linde Hall. The emperor you are looking for is not there. I know that someone is in the palace, and I never planned to find out this person and get rid of him. Because I know, with this person Guidance, you can fall into my ambush."

Shen Sui still didn't answer.

"How many times have I used this move, Shen Sui? You've been hit every time, why don't you remember it? Now that you've recovered, you have tasted the taste of my Tang Sect Zhuge Godly Crossbow? Should I give a compliment, Shen Sui?" The sect master is very skillful, and he was still unscathed in the rain of arrows from the Godly Zhuge Crossbow."

"Where did you hide the emperor?" Shen Sui finally spoke out, her body turned around without a trace, facing Yin Yuyue, and the remaining five warriors who were still capable of fighting immediately stood guard against her. Behind her, block the sneak attack from behind for her.

"What's the point of asking this question? Do you think I'll tell you? Delaying time won't do you any good. Shouldn't you finish your task as soon as possible?"

"Are you very proud? Do you think that the 1 people under Shou Wang and Shi Siming can really defend Chang'an City?"

Yin Yuyue was noncommittal.

"Your Tang Sect bow/crossbowman, you have run out of arrows, otherwise why are you talking nonsense with me here." Shen Sui laughed, "Isn't you the one who delays time?"

"Shen Sui, you are too self-righteous. I just want to have a good chat with you. I don't want to take your life for the time being. As a fruit, you are immature. But your father is different. She is really ripe and delicious. juice." Yin Yuyue laughed.

Shen Sui's eyes gradually turned red, he gritted his teeth, and tightly clenched the snow knife in his hand.But with a flick of his left hand, he flicked something into the hands of a man in black behind him.The man seemed to have eyes behind his back, and he opened his palm behind his back, grabbing the object with a grab.The whole process was so silent that even the members of the Tang Sect standing on the roof could not see clearly.

"Shen Sui, I advise you to listen to me honestly. I can tell you that I have recruited the remaining forbidden troops in the city. Right now, there are 5000 people guarding the Xuanwu Gate. The defense inside the gate is by no means the [-] troops outside your city. It can be breached. If you are willing to sit down and talk with me, maybe Li Jinyue outside the city can get some benefits. Why do you work so hard to support her? Isn't it because you want her to be the emperor? I can make her the emperor. I can still let you and your daughter go, what do you think of this deal?"

Only a sneer was his answer.

"Then there is no other way. Since you want to die, I can only take strong measures."

As soon as Yin Yuyue raised her hand to order the Tang Sect to continue attacking, Shen Sui took the lead in launching the attack. She suddenly put her hands in her mouth, let out an unheard scream, and then ran wildly for several steps on the flat ground, jumping high Standing up, stepping on the wooden pillars and tiles, birds flew into the air and came straight to Yin Yuyue.

Yin Yuyue's complexion changed, and she immediately stepped back.Behind him, five Tang Sect masters rushed up and blocked him.Among them was Tang Shisan, who had fought once before.

Shen Sui jumped up to the eaves, and the snow knife struck out as fast as lightning, and the five members of the Tang Sect felt that the sharpness was unstoppable, so they subconsciously dodged sideways.Only Tang Shisan accepted Shen Sui's move.

Seeing that the five people from Qianyumen behind Shen Sui suddenly disappeared, Yin Yuyue felt bad at the moment, so she immediately turned around and jumped off the eaves, heading for Xuanwumen.Shen Sui strode to chase after her, but was stopped by Tang Shisan again, and the other four masters of Tang Sect also rushed forward and surrounded her.

But what surprised them was that suddenly something swooped down from the sky and overturned the five of them at once. Two of them lost their footing and fell directly from the roof.

A majestic white-feathered black-feathered eagle appeared within sight, grabbed Tang Shisan's vest with one grab, and tore his back to a bloody mess.Tang Shisan howled miserably, and waved the knife in his hand to drive away the bald eagle, but the bald eagle didn't give him a chance at all, and flew up again, out of his attack range.

But after such a delay, Shen Sui's knife came forward, and immediately slashed him on the neck with the back of the knife, making him lose his breath.

Shen Sui grabbed his collar and threw her under the eaves, and threw her to the care of the remaining thirteen wounded Qianyumen brothers.He stretched out his body and immediately went after Yin Yuyue.

At this moment, all Tangmen people followed Yin Yuyue and withdrew.And in the sky, a dull thunder suddenly sounded, listen carefully, it was not thunder, but the sound of thousands of birds flapping their wings...

The author has something to say: I can finally catch bugs, and I have made revisions.

The poem that appears in this chapter is Du Fu's "Moon Night Recalling My Brothers". I changed "All brothers are scattered" to "Mothers are scattered".This poem happened to be written during the Anshi Rebellion, and it was very suitable for the occasion, so it was used.
