Volume 2 Ghost Soldiers Welcome Chapter 51 Qilin Beast Seal
In the fifth year of Taihe, October Jiashen, ugly.
Chang'an, Chang'an County, Shanhefang.
A hint of surprise flashed in King Ying's eyes: "What do you mean by this?" ”
Wang Shi was slightly restrained, and said very earnestly: "The king has ever thought that if the chaotic party has been planning for a long time, this is its stronghold, and the garrison here must be full of elites, how can it be possible to wipe it all out with only the Jingzhao Mansion soldiers and that little Jin Wuwei?" ”
King Ying was silent, but he wondered in his heart, what kind of elite can compete with Jin Wuwei, one of the sixteen guards on the left and right?
Wang seemed to see his doubts in Li Han's eyes, and quickly lifted the veil, and continued: "...... It takes time to deploy troops, and if you pounce on the air, you will be startled. As the emperor's younger brother, the king will be feared by the chaotic party, if it doesn't work this time, the clues will be completely cut off in the future! ”
"But...... If something like this happens, even if it comes to naught, will the government sit idly by? Li Han once again set his eyes on the flaming courtyard wall tiles.
"If there is a chaotic party eyeliner in the government, everything will be closed!" Wang interrupted.
King Ying turned his head and looked at Wang's eyes seriously, and with his understanding of Wang, she must have her reasons for saying this: "Are you ...... Something to know? ”
"The concubine doesn't dare to guess......" Wang Shi met King Ying's gaze, and his voice was almost like a whisper: "But the concubine has an intuition......
"Speak!"
"Behind the chaotic party, there may be forces in the palace that are left and right......"
When Li Han heard this, he took a step back and leaned against the blackened blue brick wall, his eyes were round, his face was covered with frost, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "It's impossible!" But he also knew that the princess's intuition was never groundless, so he asked, "Where did you get this intuition?" ”
King Ying's question fell, and before Wang could speak, the sonorous digging sound in the courtyard stopped abruptly. Li Han looked back nervously, in order to avoid revealing his traces, he simply blew out the fire candle in the lantern this time, and the two of them held their breath and hid their bodies in the dark.
They stood still in the aisle for a long time. Just when Li Han was worried about whether his voice had aroused the vigilance of the unrest party in the house, the arch "creaked" and completely extended.
Unlike the previous person who approached the courtyard, as the arch was extended again, there was a very mixed sound of footsteps in the courtyard, mixed with the friction of the armor pieces and the sound of stepping on the horse.
Li Han suddenly realized that they were going out of the alley!
Oh no, listening to this sound, the people in the courtyard were afraid that they were going to go out, Li Han secretly rejoiced that the Wang family persuaded him that he did not run out on impulse to transfer troops, but he was also worried, if this short street wants to go out of the alley, there are only two directions, and one of the roads will inevitably pass through the intersection where they are.
Wang hurriedly pulled off the corner of her husband's clothes and pointed to the depths of the mezzanine, and King Ying knew what she meant, so he pressed his steps and hurriedly moved to a darker place in the mezzanine.
The depth of this sandwich does not know where to seep out of the swill smell, it seems to be close to a sewer somewhere in the square, and the deeper the sandwich road is, the narrower it becomes, Li Xiao remembers that a horse can be allowed to drop his hooves at the mouth of the sandwich road, but only a dozen steps forward, only one person is allowed to pass, Wang can still move forward, but Li Han's broad shoulders let him have to move slightly sideways.
After more than ten steps forward, Wang suddenly stopped.
A brick wall stood in front of it, completely blocking the way, it turned out that this was not a sandwich road leading to his alley, but a dead end!
Wang took advantage of the extremely faint light projected from the entrance of the alley, and looked at the wall, and the stone bricks used for this brick wall were all newer than the surrounding alleys, and it seemed to be newly built. Although the brick wall is not towering, it is also a height that is difficult to reach by jumping. Moreover, this sandwich road is so narrow, if you want to climb up, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be detected by the chaotic party outside the sandwich road. What's more, it is not known whether there is a way out of this brick wall.
Li Han knew that the retreat was broken, he looked at Wang and took a deep breath. However, he had never been in such a desperate situation, and King Ying only felt that his heart was about to beat out of his chest, and he stretched out his hand to the iron ruler at his waist to force himself to calm down. Li Han has learned some imperial arts since he was a child, and this threaded iron ruler is more than enough for self-defense, but in such a cramped passage, no matter how good his imperial skills are, it only takes two crossbow arrows for the rebels to destroy him.
Wang seemed to sense King Ying's anxiety, and she silently put her hand on Li Han's broad back, which made Li Han's mood calm down a little.
From the mouth of the alley came footsteps, getting closer and closer......
Looks like they're coming this way...... King Ying glanced over, and the light of the torches at the entrance was now like day. At least five or six people stood near the entrance of the alley, all dressed in black, with snake-patterned visors on their heads, and from a distance, they looked like black shadows.
"Ghost soldiers?"
The person standing closest to the crossing, dressed in a slightly different way, his face armor seemed to be made of bronze, glowing with a faint blue light in the firelight, leading the red horse that Li Han had just seen, talking to the person behind him, but a little farther away, Li Han could only hear his own heartbeat thumping and a vague intonation.
If this person looks back, whether it is Li Han or the Wang family, there will be nowhere to hide.
Li Han couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and he felt that the voice was terrifying.
Wait a minute...... Is there really nowhere to hide?
An idea flashed through Li Han's mind, and he hurriedly motioned for the Wang family to catten down with him.
The current situation is that the enemy is bright and the enemy is dark, just as Li Han himself did not realize that this mansion was the stronghold of the chaotic party before, the chaotic party entrenched here naturally did not realize that there were two pairs of eyes behind them silently watching. Moreover, if Li Han is right, the person holding the torch will often obscure his vision because of the bright light of the fire, so that he cannot see them in the dark.
Really...... Although the "ghost soldiers" at the entrance of the alley threw their eyes at this meadgap several times, judging from their reactions, Li Xiao and Wang were not exposed.
They chatted like this for an unknown amount of time, and the "ghost soldiers" at the entrance of the alley seemed to end their conversation, and divided into two teams, one team seemed to be along the street to the south, while the other team was led by the man covered with bronze armor and hurried north along Lane C.
The sound of footsteps and horses' hooves faded away, and then disappeared into the pinna of Yingwang's ears. In order to ensure that there was no trap in this, Li Han and Wang had been cats in this smelly mecca for a long time, so that in the end, Wang's legs were a little numb, and only then did he make a slight noise on King Ying's cuffs.
Li Han helped Wang up in distress, and they carefully returned to the crossing, where the house was restored to its original abandonment, and the arch was heavily locked. Li Han knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time this time, so he helped Wang to quickly return the same way, and after leaving Bingxiang, he gently rode on the horse.
"Back to the palace!"
The long night should be over, and all will be left to be done later...... King Ying said in his heart, waved his horsewhip lightly, and walked away with the Wang family.
At the same time, the ugly is two moments.
Chang'an County, Guangdefang, Zhangfu.
After Zhang Yijun and Li Shangyin sent the wounded private soldiers back to Changxingli, they hurried back to the Guangdefang house at night. However, Zhang Yijun did not mean to sleep, but plunged into the library and flipped through the books.
Li Shangyin was already sleepy, and sat in the library and yawned several times. When he was studying in the Eastern Capital, he could have easily read all night with a lantern and a snake flying on rice paper. But today he was stalking, setting up an ambush, and doing a full day of physical work, and he was now extremely sure that he would be able to fall asleep now.
"Brother Yijun......" Li Shangyin yawned again: "What are you checking?" ”
Zhang Yijun raised a barrier knife placed on the desk, Li Shangyin recognized that the knife seemed to be in the man's hand, and later the man was caught in a fishing net, and the barrier knife escaped, and he did not have time to take the barrier knife back when he escaped.
However, the difference is that the strip of cloth wrapped around the handle of the barrier knife in Zhang Yijun's hand has been removed, and Zhang Yijun said: "The mark on the handle of this barrier knife always feels a little familiar, and I only remembered it after he fled. ”
"Credentials?" Li Shangyin was a little interested, and looked at the obstacle knife for a moment, and then noticed the difference of this barrier knife.
The knife was about a foot long, the blade was made of stainless steel, freshly oiled, and it seemed that the master had a deep affection for the knife, and it was well maintained, and the handle was polished very smooth, and it shone in the candlelight, and if the linen strip was not wrapped around the handle, I am afraid that it would be very easy to get rid of it in battle.
In the center of the hilt, there was a small crooked beast mark, the cut was very old, and the edges around it were almost smoothed. The beast prints have teeth and claws, some mad, and the shape is very similar to the beasts often painted on many flags.
"White Tiger?" Li Shangyin guessed.
"It's a unicorn, a horned ......" Zhang Yijun corrected: "This seal is carved with a seal knife, and the knife holder is not professional, so the groove is skewed out many times......"
Li Shangyin was puzzled: "Who would deliberately carve such a mark on the handle of the barrier?" ”
"Souvenir? Centerless? I have to ask the owner of this knife...... "Zhang Yijun didn't look up, and continued to flip through a large book on the desk, and the title of the book seemed to be "Changqing Official Chapters".
Li Shangyin put the barrier knife back on the table: "Then it will be difficult to find it if you look for it like this, and this is not the royal mansion......"
Zhang Yijun suddenly said: "Found it!" ”
Li Shangyin smiled embarrassedly, he was ready to go to rest first, but he didn't expect Zhang Yijun to find it so quickly.
Zhang Yijun's index finger slid along the text, and there were words in his mouth: "'...... In the second year of Changqing, due to the Shuofang military, the unicorn was abolished and the dragon and tiger seal was used instead. ’”
"What is the credential?"
Zhang Yijun raised his head slightly, pondered for a moment, and seemed to confirm that he was not wrong for a long time, he looked at Li Shangyin, his face was shocked, and said word by word: "Shence Army......"
