Chapter 146: A Wonderful Strategy for Dispelling Martial Arts (2)
Chapter 146 A clever strategy to dispel martial arts (Part 2)
At the end of Xu Shi, the night was already a little deep, and everything was quiet. Only unknown insects were humming from time to time in the weeds. The clouds in the sky were thick, blocking the brilliance of the new moon, and the earth was dead.
It was so dark that even the most splendid imperial city was now completely dark. Only the lanterns in the hands of the soldiers patrolling the city wall shone faintly in the dark night. However, this light could not dispel the darkness.
, but it made the night even darker.
The Imperial City has been the most heavily guarded place in the world since ancient times, and the Taiji Palace is no exception. Although the world has been at peace for a long time, the guards of the palace have never been relaxed, although it is not as simple as three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post.
It's an exaggeration, but there are a lot of soldiers patrolling the city walls. There is only one exception, and that is the area around the west gate. Because inside the west gate is the Yeting Palace where the maids and eunuchs live. During the day, due to defense,
Because of the interference of the palace maids and eunuchs, the place was extremely well guarded. But at night, when the keys of the palace doors were opened, the Yeting Palace became a dead city, separated by high walls on all sides, making it difficult for birds to cross.
Moreover, the maids and eunuchs who live in the Yeting Palace are generally poor people. As for those eunuchs with official titles, the maids basically live in the inner palace, and there is no need for care here.
Yes, the defense is naturally not as tight as other places. Of course, there are still quite a few guards. There are hundreds of them. It's just a small part of the huge four walls, so it's really not that many.
, at least compared to other places, it is a bit inferior to the boss. Even so, the tight defense is not comparable to other places, but in the eyes of real masters, this defense is really loose.
Very well, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is full of flaws. There is no doubt that Tamaki is such a master.
"Bah, bad luck!"
At this moment, Tamaki was wearing black night clothes. Except for her two eyes exposed, her head was completely wrapped in her hood. Needless to say, she was feeling suffocated, which made Tamaki even more upset.
What's more is the big package on his back. It's one thing to be heavy, but for Yujizi, this weight is really not a big deal, but the contents inside make Yujizi very angry.
Thinking of those furry little things sticking to her back one by one, Yu Jizi couldn't help but feel disgusted for a while, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice, but the curse continued.
In terms of action, Tamaki was not ambiguous at all. Just as a group of patrol sentries on the top of the city had just passed by, Tamaki flashed and his whole body fell from the roof to the ground like a fallen leaf. Several of them fell to the ground.
During the ups and downs, it scurried across the small square in front of the palace gate like a civet cat and stuck to the root of the imperial city.
"Danglang"
Yujizi, who was clinging to the city wall, turned his head to listen to the movement on the city wall, then took out a flying grab from his arms, swung it a few times, and with a strong wave, the flying grab shot into the sky. After a crisp sound,
He was already buckled on the city plate, but when he saw Yu Jizi's body moved, his hands were intertwined, and his feet were kicking, he had already climbed to the top of the city as if walking on flat ground. After a few ups and downs, he had disappeared.
In the dark Yeting Palace...
At five o'clock in the morning, the night was already very deep, but Li Xian didn't feel sleepy at all. He paced back and forth in the study irritably, completely losing his calm demeanor in the past, because tonight's actions were really too important.
, No matter how confident Li Xian is in Yujizi's ability, he can't guarantee that there will be no mistakes in this operation. After all, the palace is an unusual place, and there are many skilled guards inside. Once Yujizi makes a slight move,
If something goes wrong, even if he can escape with his extraordinary skills, Li Xian's plan will inevitably end in complete failure. If so, the serious consequences are really not something Li Xian can bear.
Li Xian cannot and cannot avoid the huge risks. Now, all he can do is "wait".
Li Xian's plan is actually not that complicated. In the final analysis, it is just "strange" - Empress Wu is extremely sensitive to cats, and it can even be said that she has an unforgettable fear. The cause is the poisonous oath Xiao Shu Fei made before her death.
——"Awu is so cunning, even this! May he give birth to me as a cat, and Awu as a mouse, and strangle him by the throat all his life." Therefore, starting from the sixth year of Yonghui, Empress Wu ordered that cats be prohibited from being raised in the palace. On weekdays,
Others are not allowed to mention the word "cat", which can be said to be extremely guilty. Li Xian's plan is based on this. As long as the cat can appear in the palace unnoticed, and with the guidance of some public opinion,
Since he was not worried about Empress Wu, she was not suspicious. Under this suspicion, Empress Wu probably had no other choice besides avoiding Luoyang. Of course, achieving this effect is not a simple matter. There are many tricks inside. First,
The only thing is that the cat's appearance must be traceable, and except for Yujizi, Li Xianshi can't think of a second safe way - it's not that Li Xian hasn't thought of other ways, in fact, just
Judging from the manpower Li Xian currently had in the palace, it would not be difficult to secretly transport the cat into the palace. The difficulty was that he would not be able to hide it from Empress Wu's subsequent investigation. Empress Wu was suspicious and cautious by nature. Once the cat appeared for no reason,
Appearing in the palace, Empress Wu will definitely order a thorough investigation. Considering Empress Wu's power in the palace, even if there is only a little bit of clues about what Li Xian did, there is a possibility that he will be found to be suspicious. Such a risk Li Xian takes
Sorry!
Why haven't you come back yet? Is something going to happen? Seeing that the hourglass of the timer has reached the bottom, Li Xian's already anxious heart couldn't help but become more upset. But now that things have happened, Li Xian can't do anything but wait.
, but there was nothing else to do. The problem was that the feeling of waiting was too uncomfortable. Even though Li Xiancheng was a wealthy man, he was still suffocated and looked extremely ugly.
"Senior brother, you are back, have you ever been in danger?"
Just when Li Xian was upset, a figure flashed in the study, and a tired-looking Yu Jizi appeared in the room. Li Xian's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried forward to meet her, asking with concern in his voice.
"Fortunately, I won't die. Next time Your Highness does something like this, you can do it by yourself."
Hearing that Li Xian didn't ask about the result first, but asked about his own safety first, Yu Jizi couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, but there was no politeness in his mouth. He rolled his eyes and replied angrily.
"Ha, senior brother, if you can do more work, junior brother, I can all rely on you."
Hearing what Yu Jizi said, Li Xian knew that the matter had been settled, and he was in a good mood, so he laughed and teased Yu Jizi, which made Yu Jizi roll his eyes wildly.
"Hahaha..." As soon as he saw Yujizi's appearance, Li Xian couldn't help but burst out laughing. He gave a high-five and shouted in a higher tone: "Come here!"
"My slave is here."
As soon as Li Xian finished speaking, Gao Miao, who had been waiting outside the study for a long time, hurriedly rushed into the room and bowed to answer.
“Pass this king’s order and let’s begin!”
Li Xian's face darkened, and he gave the order in a cold voice, his tone full of chilling...
"Say, what on earth is going on?"
In the dormitory of Yide Palace, Empress Wu sat on the brocade pier with a sullen face, looking angrily at the group of eunuchs, big and small, who were standing in front of them, gritting her teeth and squeezing out cold blood from between her teeth.
In a word, a pair of phoenix eyes were full of undisguised murderous intent, completely missing the dignified posture they used to display. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he looked furious. It is not surprising to say that, no matter who encounters this
Waiting for something disturbing, I'm afraid it will be even worse after the martial arts competition - a group of wild cats appeared inexplicably in the palace, which originally made Empress Wu very upset, but before she could order them to be culled, countless more appeared in the palace.
There were rumors about everything, and they were vaguely pointed at Concubine Xiao Shu, who had long been reduced to ashes. This violated Empress Wu's taboo, and she couldn't help but become angry from embarrassment.
"Yan Desheng, please speak first!"
When Empress Wu became angry, all the eunuchs, big and small, were trembling with fear. No one dared to touch Empress Wu's brow at this time. They all remained silent and looked at everyone in silence. Empress Wu was so angry that she screamed in a sharp voice.
He directly named Yan Desheng.
"Come back, my wife, I have checked the people and things that have been banned from entering and exiting the palace for the past few days. I have not found anything fishy. I am incompetent. I deserve to die. I am..." After listening to Wu, she was the first to point to herself, Yan Desheng.
He immediately panicked, and hurriedly lowered his bowed body a few points again, and replied in a nagging voice.
"Trash! Gao Hesheng, how is the matter that I asked you to investigate?"
Empress Wu waved her hand angrily, interrupting Yan Desheng's nonsense, turned her gaze to Gao Hesheng, the eunuch in charge of ceremonies, and asked angrily.
"Reply to your Majesty, I have already caught a group of bastards who spread random messages and killed a few of them. I hope those stupid people don't have the courage to cause trouble again." Gao Hesheng was obviously a bit smarter than Yan Desheng. After hearing this
Empress Wu spoke and quickly reported her "results".
"I don't want to hear this nonsense. Where does it come from?"
Gao Hesheng said it with great confidence, but unfortunately Empress Wu was not fooled and went straight to the core with anger.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I would like to order a thorough investigation, but, just..."
Gao Hesheng was an old and cunning man. Seeing that He Xini could not be fooled, he immediately pretended to be extremely embarrassed and said half a sentence.
"Um?"
Seeing Gao Hesheng acting like this, Empress Wu's face instantly turned a little more ugly, and she snorted coldly from her nostrils.
"My Majesty is aware that I have actually ordered a thorough investigation by the whole palace. I am just afraid that the noise will become too big. If Your Majesty asks about it, then..." Seeing Empress Wu clinging to the fundamental problem, Gao He looked embarrassed.
He immediately showed a helpless look and answered hesitantly.
"Well."
Empress Wu glanced at Gao Hesheng coldly, and snorted from her nostrils again, but the meaning was completely different. Not only did she no longer ask further questions, but she raised her hand and pushed all the eunuchs away, and then
, alone and with a restless expression, he started to stay...
