Escape From the Library

【Dream Back to Tang Dynasty-02】

Yue Xingwen's understanding of the cause and effect of the "Xuanwumen Incident" was naturally inferior to that of Qin Lu, who majored in history.After the three of them discussed it, they decided to take advantage of the dead of night and go to the largest restaurant in the capital to meet up with their teammates.

The streets were dark.In ancient times, there was no electricity, no internet, and the common people had no nightlife, so it was normal to go to bed early. The three of Yue Xingwen walked for a while under the moonlight, and they didn't even see a single person. Naturally, they couldn't find out the location of the restaurant.

Yue Xingwen was in a hurry when he suddenly heard the voice of "The sky is dry and the things are dry, be careful of the fire and candles", followed by the sound of "Boom... Boom! Boom! Boom".

Qin Miao said softly: "One slow and three fast, this is the fourth watch, that is, from 1 to 3 in the morning. We can ask the watchman to find out where the restaurant is."

Qin Lu took the initiative and said, "Let me go. Xingwen, you are wearing an official uniform, which is easy to reveal your identity."

Qin Miao and Yue Xingwen hid in the shadows, while Qin Lu went up to the watchman to ask for news. She excused that she was a stranger and lost her way in the capital, and the watchman offered to take her there in person.

Yue Xingwen was worried that Qin Lu would be in danger, so he followed her all the way.

Fortunately, the watchman was indeed an enthusiastic person, so he took Qin Lu directly to the door of the "Fulai Inn", and told him: "This is the biggest inn in the capital, girl, it's not safe for you to go out alone, go find it quickly." Your father and brother."

Qin Lu said gratefully, "Thank you, brother."

After the watchman left, Qin Lu knocked on the door of the inn.The inn clerk opened the door reluctantly, yawned and said, "Girl, the shop is closed!"

Qin Lu said with red eyes: "I got separated from my elder brother. We made an appointment to meet at the inn, can I ask you to help me!"

Seeing her pitiful appearance, the clerk couldn't help softening his tone: "What does your brother look like and what clothes are you wearing? Let me see if there is such a person in the inn."

Just as Qin Lu was about to speak, a familiar voice came from the second floor of the inn: "Xiao Lu."

Qin Lu raised her head and saw that it was Zhuo Feng and Lin Manluo.

Qin Lu immediately showed a surprised expression, and shouted: "Brother, sister-in-law."

Lin Manluo: "..." Why don't you call me sister, but sister-in-law?

Zhuo Feng coughed lightly, walked down the stairs quickly, and said in a low voice, "Where have you been? Your sister-in-law and I have been looking for you all day. Let's go, come into the house."

Qin Lu obediently followed them upstairs, and after entering the room and closing the door, Qin Lu whispered a few words in Lin Manluo's ear. Lin Manluo opened the window, and vines flew out of her hands, pulling Qin Miao and Yue Xingwen in instantly.

Seeing Xingwen's attire, Zhuo Feng asked curiously: "Xingwen, what kind of attire are you wearing? You still look like a civil servant?"

Yue Xingwen said helplessly, "I'm the rater of the East Palace."

Lin Manluo had a question mark on her face: "What is Su Gencheng?"

Qin Miao explained: "Li Gengcheng is a small official in charge of timing and miscellaneous affairs in the Prince's Mansion. In the official residence of the Tang Dynasty, he was from the seventh rank. The light green official uniform worn by Xingwen is the costume of the seventh rank official."

Zhuo Feng suddenly realized: "It turns out to be Prince Li Jiancheng." He and Lin Manluo looked at each other, and Lin Manluo followed him and said, "I am Princess Qin's maid, Zhuo Feng is Princess Qin's guard, and we are all from Li Shimin's camp. This afternoon, Zhuo Feng and I ran into each other in the yard, and we agreed to come to the inn to wait for our teammates in the dead of night. But until now, there are only three of you."

Qin Lu couldn't help being surprised: "Didn't everyone else come?"

Yue Xingwen asked: "Where's Ping Ce? You haven't met him either?"

Zhuo Feng shook his head: "No."

Yue Xingwen couldn't help being confused.It stands to reason that Ping Ce is the easiest person among them to escape. The coordinate system is a light function, and it is no problem to fly over the wall—unless his coordinate system skills are banned.

Thinking of this, Yue Xingwen couldn't help but worry: "I don't know the identity of the other people. If they didn't come to the agreed place, they might be in trouble and can't leave for the time being."

Qin Miao said suddenly: "It is also possible that they are not in this time and space."

Zhuo Feng was stunned: "Not in this time and space? What do you mean?"

Qin Miao explained in a low voice: "The exam mode of "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" is to let us go back to the Tang Dynasty, replace the identities of some characters, promote the development of the plot, and make the historical plot run on the original track. In the ninth year of Wude, what needs to be done is to assist Li Shimin to complete the "Xuanwu Gate Change" and kill Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji."

Lin Manluo nodded understandingly: "I guessed it. Princess Qin met her elder brother Sun Wuji today, and mentioned that Li Yuanji fanned the flames in the harem and smeared Li Shimin everywhere. I guess, now is the "Xuanwu Gate Change" 'The time before the outbreak?"

Qin Miao said: "That's right. In the ninth year of Wude, the open and secret battle between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng has reached a fever pitch, but Li Shimin has been hesitant. After all, killing his brother will not leave a good reputation, and at that time Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's forces Powerful, Li Shimin only has [-] personal soldiers in his hands, if he really takes action, his chances of winning are not high, so he has been reluctant to do it first."

Yue Xingwen straightened out the cause and effect, and said: "But Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji will not be polite to him. They not only conspired to assassinate him during the banquet, but also killed his soldiers. After Li Shimin knew the news, he finally Couldn't bear it any longer, decided to put all your eggs in one basket and strike first?"

Qin Miao nodded: "It is recorded in the history books that Xingwen's Wang Yan is the key person. You need to tell Qin Wang Li Shimin the secret you heard as soon as possible."

Zhuo Feng and Lin Manluo finally understood.No wonder Xingwen replaced a small official in the East Palace. It turned out that this was Li Shimin's undercover agent sent to the East Palace.

Zhuo Feng scratched his head and said: "Li Shimin seems to be very busy, he is not in the palace all day. Besides, the Qin palace is heavily guarded, so you can't go in easily, if you get caught after entering, it will be troublesome."

As the undercover agent sent by Li Shimin to the East Palace, Wang Yan in history must have a way to contact Li Shimin and tell him the secret as soon as possible.

But now, the library has replaced Yue Xingwen, he doesn't know how to contact Li Shimin at all, he doesn't even know what the other party looks like, rushing into the Prince Qin's mansion will only be self-defeating.

What's more, Li Shimin has been very busy recently, it is difficult to accurately grasp the time for him to return to the palace, and if Yue Xingwen leaves the East Palace for a long time, it will arouse the suspicion of the East Palace.

Yue Xingwen asked, "Are all your skills usable?"

Qin Lu smiled wryly and shook her head: "My globe can't be summoned."

Qin Miao said: "The skills before the Tang Dynasty 'sweeping Liuhe' and 'burning the company camp' can be used. Drinking wine to release military power, Wen Cheng and marriage are all events that haven't happened yet, so they can't be used."

Zhuo Feng was helpless: "My magnets and electric current are all useless, only light and gravity can be used."

Lin Manluo's vine summoning was not affected.It seems that the library settles skills based on time nodes.Tools, characters, and event skills that have not appeared in the current time and space cannot be used, and Jiang Pingce's coordinate system must not be used.

Originally, he wanted Qin Lu to lurk in the Prince Qin's mansion, but after discovering Li Shimin, he could use the board swap skill to pick up Yue Xingwen at any time, but now, this method does not work.Yue Xingwen had to stay in the Prince Qin's mansion by himself in order to tell Li Shimin the secret at the first time.

After thinking about it, Yue Xingwen suddenly came up with an idea: "How about this, Sister Man Luo and I went to the princess's place, and Sister Man Luo said, I am your cousin, both parents died, and he came to the capital with nowhere to go, please take me in with the princess." I'm a handyman. Qin Wangfei has a kind personality, so she should agree."

Zhuo Feng and Lin Manluo looked at each other, and both felt that this method was feasible.

Recently, it happened to be on the cusp of the limelight, and Li Shimin's guards were under strict management. It was easy for the leader to detect by pretending to be guards and sneaking into the palace.If he pretended to be a handyman and broke into the princess, it would be easier to gain the trust of Princess Qin with Lin Manluo as the witness.

Everyone quickly discussed the countermeasures.

Qin Lu and Qin Miao returned to the East Palace, Zhuo Feng and Lin Manluo took Yue Xingwen back to the Qin Palace.

The Palace of Prince Qin was heavily guarded and unable to go through the gate, so Lin Manluo simply made a vine swing and swung it from the tree into the courtyard. Zhuo Feng stole a set of servant's clothes for Yue Xingwen to change into.

In order to get enough of the show, Yue Xingwen also tore a few holes in his clothes, smeared some dust on his face, and pretended to be a down-and-out kid whose parents died and had to go to a foreign land.

Lin Manluo glanced at him, and whispered, "Like a little beggar."

Yue Xingwen laughed and said, "I came all the way to join my cousin, it's more realistic."

After dressing up in disguise, Zhuo Feng took Yue Xingwen to the guard's residence, intending to hide in the palace first, and then find a chance to meet Princess Qin tomorrow.

The two of them had just passed through the corridor when they suddenly heard steady footsteps behind them. Yue Xingwen subconsciously wanted to hide in the shadows, but heard a low voice in his ears: "Stop."

Zhuo Feng and Yue Xingwen looked at each other and stopped helplessly.

The man walked behind the two of them and asked, "What are you two doing sneakily?"

Zhuo Feng laughed dryly: "We are just in a hurry, we go to the toilet together."

The man said sharply, "Turn around."

Zhuo Feng and Yue Xingwen turned around stiffly, Yue Xingwen lowered his head, pretending to be submissive.The man raised Yue Xingwen's chin and looked carefully for a moment: "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Just as Yue Xingwen was about to speak, he heard a deep and calm voice from the side: "He is the new guard of the palace, okay, you go to patrol elsewhere, and I will deal with it here."

The man immediately took a step back respectfully: "Yes, General!"

Yue Xingwen looked up, and suddenly met a pair of familiar eyes.

——Jiang Pingce!

He was wearing a black armor with a long sword in his hand. With his tall and slender figure, coupled with this attire, and Jiang Pingce's usual serious and indifferent expression, the man in front of him really looked handsome, upright and imposing.

However, his originally indifferent gaze immediately became gentle after meeting Shangyue Xingwen's clear eyes, and a smile even appeared on the corner of his lips.

Great, Pince is also in this time and space!Yue Xingwen couldn't help smiling, and the two looked at each other, but ignored Zhuo Feng.

Zhuo Feng: "Ahem."

Jiang Pingce came back to his senses, looked at Zhuo Feng, and said in a low voice, "Come with me."

The two followed behind him, walked through several corridors, and came to a place similar to a "secret room".Only then did Jiang Pingce put down the long sword in his hand, and looked back at Yue Xingwen with gentle eyes: "Why are you so down and down? Has the library assigned you the status of a little beggar?"

Yue Xingwen patted his torn sleeve helplessly: "I was forced to disguise myself in order to sneak into the Qin Palace."

He looked at Jiang Pingce's majestic armor and asked curiously, "What is your identity?"

Jiang Pingce said: "The general of Prince Qin's residence is also the leader of Li Shimin's personal guards and the Habayashi Army."
