Chapter 87: Troops are sent out, and the man in the dark appears
The night is deep and the palace is cozy.
Qin Qingyu slowly opened her eyes while sitting quietly with her eyes closed, integrating her spiritual thoughts into the world.
Opposite her sat Liu Qing, still practicing with his eyes closed.
Both the master and the disciple used the Taoist five-heart sitting posture. The back half of the buttocks was slightly elevated to keep the waist and back straight, which was conducive to the circulation of blood vessels in the legs and made them not tired after sitting for a long time.
Midsummer season.
Liu Qing wore a soft white lining, showing off her undulating figure, with her plump long legs sitting on top of each other, outlining her graceful curves.
Qin Qingyu smiled.
She treats this apprentice like a daughter, and everything seems to be good for her.
It is said that Taoists forget their feelings, but this is not the case. It is just one of the concepts of spiritual practice.
Qin Qingyu is full of love for the relationship between master and disciple, the relationship between sect, and life itself.
She did not disturb her disciples, she stood up silently, tapped her bare feet on the ground, and left the meditating hall as if her body was weightless.
When they met in the morning, they gave Huo Qubing an ancient jade, which was used by Taoist sects to carve arrays and communicate with each other within a certain distance to sense their positions, and to communicate when they agreed to deal with the secret writer together.
Qin Qingyu woke up because she felt the aura of Dao Juan.
"I have sent someone to pick up Dao Zun, and we will discuss the action after we meet."
Huo Qubing's consciousness fluctuated in the ancient jade, and he responded.
Qin Qingyu took her outer robe and put it on, then heard movement coming from the inner room, and couldn't help but sigh. Her disciple changed into a dark Hanfu faster than she did, with narrow sleeves and waist, making it easier to move.
There was uncontrollable excitement on her pretty face, and she seemed quite excited about catching the writer at night.
Female knight.
Liu Qing has heard people say in the mountains since she was a child that after she succeeds in spiritual practice, she will walk down the mountain and hold a sword in the world. Due to her status, she must have little chance. It is rare that something happens in Chang'an, and the heroine dream must take the opportunity to arrange it.
Up.
Dreams come into reality series.
"Master, leave quickly."
Liu Qing took two pairs of short-waisted shoes like military boots, put his smooth and small feet into the boots, and hurriedly prepared for action.
"What did Huo Hou say?"
"He sent someone to pick us up. As soon as we left the Changding Hall, we could see..."
The two of them were walking out when they saw a figure flying over the wall to pick them up.
The figure jumped down from the eaves and landed without making any sound. It was indeed very skillful.
Qin Qingyu was slightly stunned. She had sensed a cat approaching for a long time. It was really... yes.
The cat landed not far away and raised its paws towards the two of them, meaning to follow them quickly. I am here to pick you up.
Qin Qingyu was slightly surprised that there was a cat demon in Chang'an, and she felt that she was very close to becoming a spirit.
"The cat raised by Marquis Huo is actually a lynx. It was given by His Majesty. It has some spirituality. Master, don't be surprised."
The big cat flew up to the house and led the way. After walking for a while, he looked back and led the way very seriously.
"Master, wouldn't it be faster if we use flying swords to sacrifice to the sky?"
"Whenever our two flying swords move, they will be sensed by the man and cannot be used, lest he escape."
Qin Qingyu frowned and said: "As a teacher, if we join forces with Huo Hou, we may not be able to catch him."
Liu Qing pointed at himself dissatisfied: "Don't you still have me? And this is Chang'an. The power that Huo Hou can mobilize is the power that the emperor can mobilize, and it will definitely exceed the master's expectations."
While the two were talking, they arrived at the west gate of Changle Palace, where a secret reconnaissance carriage had stopped at the door.
When the master and apprentice got into the car, the big cat jumped on top of the carport and looked around with an alert look on his face, very alert.
It consciously helps its master to complete things, successfully picks up people, and has a great sense of accomplishment.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Qin Qingyu and Liu Qing saw Huo Qubing at the north gate of Weiyang Palace.
The Forbidden Army command camp, the soldiers are solemn and solemn.
The most elite troops of the Han Dynasty are here. Everyone is wearing armor and guarding Weiyang Palace all night long.
Liu Qing and Qin Qingyu were led into the main hall and saw Huo Qubing sitting in the main seat, dressed in military uniform and full of heroism. Just sitting there, he gave people a sharp and sharp look, with a stern face. As the night progressed, he was still busy. Standing in front of him was a row of generals, both old and young, dozens of them in total.
The solemn atmosphere in the hall was somewhat beyond Qin Qingyu's expectation.
Controlling the Chang'an Guards requires more than just passing an order from the emperor, or informing several generals.
Huo Qubing is further implementing the order to take charge of the Chang'an Guards.
Military officers such as lieutenant colonel and above must all be screened in person and assigned their respective duty tasks accordingly.
When you know that someone is lurking in the dark and plotting evil intentions, job assignment is especially important. It sounds simple, but in fact it is not easy.
It is difficult to tell who is loyal and who is traitorous among the generals, and who may have problems.
"Liu Xu, Ji Jiang, and Qian Guangmao will stay here temporarily and go to the back hall respectively. They are not allowed to leave their respective rooms at will.
Qian Qingji and Xiao Yao led the troops to guard the main gate of Beigong Guard;
Ji Fu and Gu Angshe went to the east gate of the main palace and the east wing of Shoukun Hall.
I repeat, from now on, only my military orders can mobilize you to change defenses. Except for me, unless you see your majesty with your own eyes, no one else's orders will be ignored. This is a military order, if there is any mistake, you will be killed immediately!"<
/p>
"Wei!"
The generals agreed with a roar, and their momentum was like a rainbow.
Qin Qingyu and Liu Qing were waiting quietly, but they both had an idea. The so-called general of the country, strategizing, is probably the best interpretation of the scene before them.
Huo Qubing said "Execution order", and the generals left the hall one by one, their armor clanking in their steps.
The Han Dynasty has a strong army, no wonder the military front is so prosperous... Qin Qingyu secretly thought.
Huo Qubing raised his head from the scroll in front of him and looked at Qin Qingyu and Liu Qing, his eyes were dark and bright, as if they could illuminate people's hearts.
"Can Tao Zun be sure that the Tao Ancestor scroll really appeared and is in the hand of the author?"
Qin Qingyu said: "No one would trust someone else to carry something of the level of a Taoist hand scroll.
No one else can suppress the aura of the hand scroll, it must be in his own hand. The aura just appeared and disappeared. In the south of Chang'an City, the aura of the scroll appeared, and I can accurately sense the location of its appearance within a certain period of time." "Daozu hand scrolls...how many volumes are there in total?"
"Two volumes up and down."
"Under what circumstances will the scroll emit waves that the author cannot suppress?"
"If you want to stimulate the charm of borrowing the Tao scroll, or read it for a long time to understand the Tao meaning, the breath of the Tao scroll will rise."
"How long has this aura been present? Can we judge what we are doing based on the aura? Is it a deliberate act?"
Qin Qingyu had finally seen the power of this heroic general of the Han Dynasty who was only seventeen years old. Every sentence he asked was focused on the key points, and he was probably just as fierce in his military use:
"This time it only took three or four breaths.
The true meaning contained in the Tao scroll may appear under certain circumstances or the stimulation of other items."
Huo Qubing nodded and said: "Since it can be confirmed that it is a Tao scroll, then this matter deserves attention."
If he were in another location, Huo Qubing would not be able to leave the city due to imperial orders, but since he is within the city, there is no problem.
"Do you want Huo Hou to make some preparations, or should we leave now?"
There are some things to say at the moment. Qin Qingyu said bluntly: "I want to remind Huo Hou that the secret man has an unfathomable depth of practice. He is half a step ahead of me. I asked Huo Hou for help because I want to make up for that."
gap.
You have to be prepared and don’t rush forward and fight him head-on. The same goes for Qing’er.”
Huo Qubing was thinking that he was being despised for no reason, so am I worth half the price?
Now let me show you the ability of soldiers to defeat the enemy in battle. When it comes to fighting, it does not refer to any one in particular, but all the nine major streams must move to the back!
"Since we are in Chang'an, we must make full use of our advantages so that he has no chance to escape. Dao Zun, please wait for a moment."
As soon as Huo Qubing finished speaking, Qin Qingyu had already sensed it. She turned around and saw an old man who looked like an ordinary person and had a peaceful aura walking in with an unhappy face.
"Huo Hou sent troops to my residence so late and insisted on letting me come. Why?"
"If I can defeat the enemy with a thousand troops, who said you would lead my horse and wear it when I fight in the future?" Huo Qubing said.
The old man who walked in, wearing a green Confucian robe, was Dong Zhongshu.
The first contemporary Confucian, equal to Tao Zun.
Dong Zhongshu was so angry that he was forcibly pulled over by a gang of gangsters. His status was not good, and he did not want to do it himself with the Han imperial army. He did say that he would lead horses and wear them for others.
Bai Yu followed his teacher, also a little annoyed.
Confucians are not good at using violence, but Dong Zhongshu cultivated a Confucian spirit, a mountain of books, a sea of literature, and good luck. This terrible power would be in vain if not used.
Dong Zhongshu is part of the advantage of ‘geographical location’.
Qin Qingyu also heard about Dong Zhongshu's name: "Master Dong?"
"Exactly."
Dong Zhongshu looked at Qin Qingyu: "Qingyu Taoist Master."
"Exactly."
The two of them greeted each other exactly the same.
Immediately, the sound of a bicycle was heard outside the door, and two people walked in one after another. One was about fifty years old, thin but very tall. He was wearing a black Hanfu with wide sleeves and embroidered with the sun and moon. He looked amazing.
This old man has his hands behind his back and looks very impressive.
Even Liu Che had to rely on this old man to determine the clan's star position, prediction and deduction, and the formulation of the country's title based on the rotation of yin and yang and the five elements.
Dayin Yangjia Jiangyan.
To practice Yin Yang family, you need to travel far and wide to learn about the four seasons and five elements, and how the heaven and earth change. The Jiang Yan in front of you has gone through the four seasons, the five elements, transformed into yin and yang, and holds the heaven and earth in your hands. He is one of the top two or three people in the Yin Yang family.
characters.
Another person is Zhang Tang, whose face is as cold as ice.
This is a great master of contemporary Legalism, and he is so cruel.
These people in front of you are part of the Han Dynasty’s heritage in Chang’an.
There are still a few people that Huo Qubing knows about, but they can't be transferred until Liu Che agrees.
But this lineup should be enough to catch one person.
"Huo Hou, is it inappropriate for us to go out like this?" Xiao Ying reminded at the side.
Huo Qubing understood what he meant and said: "No matter what the intentions of the people in the dark are, it will never be to attack Weiyang Palace. It is not a conspiracy, it is suicide. Do you think that if the few of us leave, the palace will be empty and others will take advantage of it?" He immediately looked at the others: "Tonight, please come with me to catch someone. It's very important. The other person's skills may be at the level of a Taoist."
The level of Taoist Master... Dong Zhongshu, Jiang Yan, and Zhang Tang all felt their hearts skip a beat.
You asked us to accompany you to your death. You were fooled and you shouldn’t have come.
Huo Qubing was the first to go out. At some point, a sixty-man forbidden army had already lined up at the door. They were all wearing armor and carrying sharp swords. The big halberds in their hands were thick and long, and they were full of murderous intent.
There are also more than ten capable people transferred from the secret investigation, who are proficient in tracking and other techniques.
This lineup is in Chang'an, even if Dao Zun comes in person, it will be overturned.
"Let's go and see what the secret man looks like?" Huo Qubing ordered.
Jiang Yan of the Yin Yang family spread out a picture made of silk and brocade. The mountains and rivers of Jiuzhou were engraved on the top. The incantation was densely packed with incantations. There were several vague positions in it, which seemed to correspond to the directions of the stars.
He stretched the picture and it actually disappeared into the void.
A group of people whose popularity has disappeared. If they hadn’t seen it in person, they would have become invisible.
Bai Yu also wanted to go with the team, but Huo Qubing said: "You are not good at it. If you go, you will be a burden. Don't come."
Bai Yu walked backwards in one breath, almost vomiting blood, his face turned red and white, and he watched everyone file away.
Qin Qingyu was immediately responsible for leading the way, and everyone quickly arrived at Nancheng.
When she got here, Qin Qingyu seemed cautious and stopped walking.
Under her leadership, everyone continued to advance in the south of Chang'an City.
Huo Qubing glanced at Liu Qing.
Her Royal Highness the Princess' face was slightly red with excitement. She was on tiptoe, walking lightly, and her pretty face glowed as white as jade in the moonlight.
Huo Qubing thought to himself: This princess is usually bored out of her mind, so she caught someone so excited.
The group of people soon arrived outside a house. The night was quiet and the long street was deserted.
Qin Qingyu nodded slightly, indicating that this is where it is.
Huo Qubing looked around.
This Huo Mansion is only two streets away from my home. The secret person is always by my side?
Dong Zhongshu, Qin Qingyu, Zhang Tang, and Jiang Yan each occupied one side and blocked the possible entrances and exits of the mansion.
Jiang Yan was right next to Huo Qubing's body. He put his hand on the ground and said after a moment: "The ground inside the mansion is solid. There is a pool on the left side of the main entrance with quite a lot of water. There is a cellar in the left corner to the east.
In addition, there are no secret passages underground, and there are no arrays, traps or other arrangements in the mansion."
Zhang Tang answered: "There is an aura in the house that contains murderous intent and is bloody. It can be seen that the other party has violated the criminal law and can be arrested. He is not a good person!"
Dong Zhongshu sighed, stretched out his hand, and began to speak the Constitution of Heaven, which Confucianism is good at, and boasted to himself: "The way of Heaven is orderly and timely, measured and temperate, follow the way of Heaven to nourish one's body; do not respect the way of Heaven, violate laws and chaos
Those who discipline themselves should restrain themselves."
It means that people in the room must abide by the rules. If you can't escape, you must first get past me, Dong Zhongshu.
An invisible force of heaven and earth dispersed with his voice.
"Tao Zun, are you sure this is correct?" Huo Qubing confirmed.
Qin Qingyu nodded: "It will never be wrong."
Huo Qubing also raised his hand and unfolded a military formation map. It stretched out suddenly. After falling on the ground, the area suddenly turned into a battlefield, and the fighting spirit surged!
"Use the sharp arrow formation as the tip, the square formation as the columns, the front tip as the back guard, line up the formation, attack in and have a look!"
The sixty Imperial Guards and the military formation map presented by Huo Qubing were in the same position, and they immediately took a step forward at the same time, with great momentum.
