The third update has arrived!!! Guaranteed double update tomorrow!!!
When the drum was on, the talented artist was so bold that he pretended to be a peasant and lowered his head so that no one could recognize him. His steps were also lazy. When they arrived outside the palace, they took a look at each other, then turned to the east side door and saw the street.
The teahouses and restaurants across the street are next to each other, and it is the time for the shift to change. All the people on duty in the palace come out to have tea, eat, and rest their legs.
Shi Qian sat down in the corner at the entrance of a restaurant, leaning against the wall as if he was tired from walking and wanted to rest, but his eyes were fixed on the side door.
I saw Ban Zhiguan and others coming out of it, with yellow, orange, and orange bronze medals around their waists. Shi Qian was not in a hurry, and saw a Ban Zhiguan in his forties or fifties coming out of the inside, carrying the hem of his clothes and rushing to the wine shop.
After walking behind, Shi Qian slowly stood up and followed.
Behind the detour wine shop, there was a small hut. The official had been holding it in for a long time and was running water inside, making a lot of noise. Shi Qian also pretended to go in to relieve himself and deliberately leaned towards the official. The man was a countryman.
The farmer said angrily: "Where did it come from? Get out of here!"
Shi Qian pretended to untie his belt, but instead took a rope from his waist, wrapped it around the back of the official, found the neck and pinched it. The guy struggled hurriedly, and Shi Qian saw that he was more than a head taller than him.
He grabbed the rope with both hands, turned around, and carried the man on his back like a sack.
First, Shi Qian's rope was extremely thin, made of hemp mixed with human hair, and it would burrow into the flesh with just a little force; second, Shi Qian's back prevented the officials from touching the ground with their feet, so they couldn't use it.
There was a "crack" sound in the throats of the officers, and their limbs were moving wildly. Not to mention struggling, they couldn't even scream.
Shi Qian strangled him hard twice, but there was no sign of struggle behind him, so he threw the rope over the roof beam and hung the body up. It was easy to peel off the body, including the waist tag.
Shi Qian directly put on the official uniform outside his own clothes, rolled up his sleeves, and tucked up the legs of his trousers. Fortunately, his feet were not big, so Shi Qian dressed just right.
I took out a bronze mirror and looked at it from top to bottom, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"Oh, he's still so handsome."
Putting away the bronze mirror, Shi Qian secretly dragged the unlucky Ban Zhiguan out and pushed him into the manure tank. He also tied a rope around his waist and turned it out. When he saw other Ban Zhiguan coming to relieve himself, Shi Qian nodded with a smile: "Eat."
After? See you later!"
The official replied casually and went to relieve himself. While doing so, he was still thinking about who it was just now. Shi Qian came out carefree and walked into the palace through the side door.
The Imperial Guard squad guarding the gate saw that Shi Qian had a waist card, so naturally he would not intercept him. Shi Qian went in, looked at the terrain, thought about it secretly, and then came to the imperial study.
Tian Hu was no longer in the imperial study, and Shi Qian was overjoyed. When he looked around, he saw two young Huangmen were cleaning the room. Just as he was about to go in to check for information, a bunch of palace maids came behind him, whispering to each other, looking panicked.
When Shi Qian was interested, he saw these palace ladies going to the palace next to them. He slowly followed them and listened carefully.
The palace ladies were as noisy as ducks, completely ignoring the etiquette in the palace. Shi Qian listened and listened, and among them were two incidents: the mysterious death of Concubine Wu and the personal conquest of Tian Hu.
The palace was just ahead, and Shi Qian couldn't follow him any further, so he had to turn around and go back to the imperial study room. When the two little yellow door officials saw a classmate barging in indiscriminately, they scolded him repeatedly; Shi Qian punched each one.
He knocked him unconscious and threw it behind the bookshelf. He turned to the desk and saw a piece of rice paper spread on it with some random things drawn on it.
Shi Qian stepped forward and touched it. The ink was not completely dry yet, but he didn't know what it was on the paper, so he simply rolled it up and prepared to take it back to show to his elder brother Ximen Qing.
"This Tian Hu's calligraphy is worse than my elder brother's blowing snow calligraphy. You can't read any words at all." Shi Qian thought to himself: "It doesn't matter if Concubine Wu was killed, but Tian Hu wants to conquer it in person, which is amazing.
It’s a big matter, I need to find out more about it, please inform Big Brother and Sun An as soon as possible.”
Thinking of this, Shi Qian quietly walked out without even closing the door. He boldly walked back to the east side door step by step. Along the way, he saw a mess in the palace. It must be Tian Hu's conquest in person. There are many things that need to be prepared. The palace maid
, the Huangmen officials were so busy that they hit the back of their heads with their feet, and no one cared about Shi Qian disguised as Ban Zhi walking around.
Shi Qian also came out of the side door and looked for Zhang Dazui and Xiao Mulu everywhere in the restaurant on the street. When he found the third restaurant, he bumped into the two of them coming out of it, looking nervous.
When the two saw a class official coming, they didn't take a closer look and just passed by each other with their heads lowered. Shi Qian grabbed them one by one, with their mouths wide open, and Xiao Dao finally realized that it was Shi Qian.
"Brother, why did you become an official now without seeing me?" he said with a wide mouth.
Shi Qian went up and knocked on the door unceremoniously: "You two are too brave, master and slave can walk side by side? Fortunately, there is no suspicion, otherwise you can still survive to this day?"
With their mouths wide open and Xiao Dafu's face turned pale, they asked Shi Qian to drag him to the alley next to him: "You two are so panicked, what did you find out?"
"Fight." He opened his mouth and blurted out: "Then Tian Hu wants to fight the war himself."
"That's called a personal expedition by the imperial commander." Xiao Muzhu rolled his eyes and said to Shi Qian: "Brother, I just met some officials talking in a private room, so I took the opportunity to go up and listen to them.
The person who oversees the country also said that Tian Hu wants to conquer the country himself."
Shi Qian was startled when he heard this, knowing that this was not the place to talk, so he took off the official's coat and rolled it up casually, throwing it into the yard next to him. The three of them went to the Earth Temple in the north of the city, but saw that the door was still closed, knowing that no one was coming.
; First go to the back and take a look at the temple blessings. It may be that your mouth is tightly blocked, and you are rolling your eyes as you breathe out but not in.
The three of them didn't pay attention to him. Seeing that there was room behind the chef, they dragged a few futons over and made some. They opened their mouths and knew that Shi Qian had been busy all day, so he took out two sets of sesame seed cakes and stuffed meat with them.
Time has passed.
"You are pretending to be a member of the Communist Party of China! The one who carries two sets of sesame seed cakes with meat in his arms?" Shi Qian pointed out the problem of opening his mouth while chewing, and then said after a pause: "The name of the father-in-law is Fan Quan, Tian
Since Hu is marching in person, the person overseeing the country must be Prince Tian Ding. It seems that Fan Quan will assist the prince in overseeing the country."
"Brother is still the best." Zhang Dazui was very convinced. Sun An had roughly talked about Tian Hu and other officials before. He and Xiao Mulu barely remembered it, but Shi Qian remembered it very well.
"The taste is okay." Shi Qian quickly finished the two sesame cakes filled with meat and said seriously: "I heard about it in the palace. It's not a small matter. Although I don't know that Tian Hu, the imperial commander, is heading west.
It is better to go east; but the matter is urgent and cannot wait."
"What do you mean, brother?"
"Let's go now." Shi Qian stood up and said, "Outside the palace, I killed a Banzhi and threw him in a pit; inside the palace, I knocked out two young Huangmen. They should be discovered by now. If I don't leave,
I’m just afraid I won’t be able to leave.”
...
...
Before it was time to hold the lantern, Gu Shangfia Shi Qian went to the Song Army camp in the east of Yushe County with his mouth wide open and a little dazed, and presented the rice paper he took out from Tian Huyu's study.
"Is this Tian Hu's handwriting?" Ximen Qing looked at it back and forth for a while and said with a smile: "It looks a lot worse than my Fuxue body. It's just... forget it, I can't tell what the words are."
Guan Sheng coughed: "Deputy Commander Sun mentioned before that Tian Hu doesn't know much about literacy, but no one knows what is written on it... It's a pity."
"The key is not what Tian Hu wrote on it, but why he wrote it." Ximen Qing dropped the rice paper and turned to ask Shi Qian: "Third brother, did you sneak into the palace and hear any news?
"
"Your Excellency, you are sure to predict things like a god." Shi Qian fell to the ground in admiration: "A big event did happen in Tianhu Palace. Concubine Wu was found hanging last night, but that Bai Ling is not a palace object."
"Huh? Just a few days after Wu Li died, Concubine Wu was killed?" Ximen Qing touched the thunder stone and thought to himself for a long time, and said to himself: "Nima, there are only two concubines in the harem, why are there any palace fights...Fortunately
I will be the emperor, otherwise..."
"Brother, compared to this matter, it seems that Tian Hu's personal expedition is more important?" Shi Qian reminded: "Do you want to inform Deputy Commander Sun immediately?"
Ximen Qing shook his head slowly: "Don't worry. Before we figure out which way Tian Hu is going to fight us, there is no need to rush to inform them. They are still attacking Huo County. Let's figure out the situation first."
"Tian Hu suddenly wants to take the chariot to conquer in person. This is different from our previous estimates." Guan Sheng twirled his beard and pondered: "Is there something unexpected?"
"An accident?" Ximen Qing suddenly remembered something: "Yes, it was an accident!"
"Tian Bao and Tian Biao were killed by Li Kui. This is an accident!"
"Concubine Wu was killed. This is also an accident!"
"The imperial commander went on a personal expedition and Prince Tian decided to supervise the country. This is also an accident!"
"What do you believe these changes mean?"
Everyone in the tent shook their heads. These were all accidents, but if they were put together, they would not be able to figure out the key behind them.
"These changes show that Tian Hu has gradually lost control of his rights... It should be said that someone is gradually stripping the rights from Tian Hu! And Tian Hu probably hasn't figured out who it is yet?"
Ximen Qing's words sounded too bizarre. Although the Puppet Jin Kingdom was not big, as long as Tian Hu, the pseudo-emperor, lived for one day, he would be the king of the entire Puppet Jin Kingdom.
Seeing the confused eyes of everyone, Ximen Qing Xiaoyou excitedly shook the piece of rice paper: "Here is the evidence!"
Everyone was dumbfounded. What could this smeared thing with no legible words mean?
Ximen Qing laid out the rice paper, took a pen, and circled the strange-shaped objects on it: "You see, these things represent an individual; although Tian Hu is illiterate, he should still be able to write
He wrote some simple words; he did this in order to prevent these things from being read."
"Then... what are these...?" Qin Ming, who was on the side, had already recovered a lot. He couldn't help but pointed at the lumps on the rice paper and asked.
"Every person...each represents a person." Ximen Qing analyzed: "Tian Hu has begun to doubt his subordinates. This proves what I just said, these changes are planned by someone behind the scenes."
