Chapter 143: Longevity and Eternal Prosperity
Make beautiful jade for a while, and help the king for a thousand years. --------- Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu "Poems of the Seal of the Country"
It is said that Chen Long analyzed the diagonal exit of the Beigong tunnel, which should be around the Qinglou area in Luoyang, and used the courtyard as a cover to facilitate Emperor Han Ling's entry and exit in the brothel area.
Visiting the kiln became the best cover, Niu Fu was not suspicious, and did not send someone to follow the whereabouts of "Yan Baihu". No matter how chaotic the world is, how the people are displaced, the Qinglou is still prosperous, the scholars, the ministers, the dignitaries, all strive to be elegant and elegant, and spend money like dirt.
Around the Qinglou, there were several deep alleys radially listed, and Chen Long sprinkled all the team members out to find the uninhabited medium-sized courtyard. He and Lu Chang also walked along a deep alley to the shore of Luoshui. Most of the cabins were dark and there were no lights, and suddenly several nocturnal figures flew out of a large ship docked by the Luoshui water, quickly dispersed along the river bank, as if they were performing some task.
Chen Long was curious, and he and Lu Chang sneaked into the big ship to search, and accidentally found the letter from Xiliang Ma Teng to several Beijing officials. Although Ma Teng nominally started an incident with Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others in Liangzhou, he was actually coerced by Han Sui's rebels, and after a long tug-of-war, Ma Teng finally led a loyal army into the territory of the Qiang people alone, united with some friendly Qiang people, and broke away from Han Sui's control.
Chen Long got this important information and knew that Han Sui's rebels were not monolithic with Beigong Boyu's Qiang army, and he just needed an army to defend Chang'an and fight against Dong Zhuo's iron cavalry in Luoyang. I began to think about how to use Ma Teng's troops, but unfortunately there was no think tank around him, and this matter still needed to be considered in the long run.
After Chen Long and the special team members converged, Zhang Bai really found the suspected emperor's "entertainment venue". After several searches, but no traces of the tunnel entrance and exit were found, Chen Long was unwilling, and began to use the method of internal and external measurement, and finally found that the size of the toilet inside and outside was obviously nearly one and a half steps away.
Chen Long and the team members excitedly searched along the wall, and finally Chen Long tried to push with both palms, and sure enough, the whole wall retreated back with great skill, revealing a floor tile-covered tunnel mouth on the ground.
Everyone cheered, and Chen Long stretched out his foot and stepped on the floor tiles, which fell slowly with his feet, revealing a black underground passage. Chen Long saw that he had discovered the passage and didn't want to wait any longer, so he immediately arranged: "Lu Chang and I will act here, and the rest of the people will be on guard here." Remember, don't light the lights! ”
Jumping in from the entrance of the tunnel, the floor tiles slowly rose, and the sound of the outside wall sliding was heard for a while, and it was estimated that the sandwich wall had returned to its original state again. Chen Long admired in his heart, shook a fire fold, didn't have time to look at the arrangement of the mechanism under the floor tiles, and started light work with Lu Chang, and ran away along the tunnel. When he came to the corner of the tunnel under the hall, he couldn't help but think of the last time he and Zhang Ning hid from Emperor Han Ling here, and then thought of Ma Yuanyi's death, and he was embarrassed.
Smoothly along the tunnel to the underground of the North Palace, Chen Long was familiar with it and emerged from the bed of the former Han Ling Emperor's bedroom. After the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, this place has been deserted, and the new emperor ascended the throne, so naturally there was a new dormitory, so it added a bit of security.
Chen Long took off his robe, revealing a night robe to lean on, and asked Lu Chang to guard the entrance of the tunnel, so as to meet him in case of trouble, ensure that the tunnel is unblocked, and it is not difficult to escape. It is estimated that Dong Zhuo left all the guards with strong martial arts to himself, and there were not many masters of the guards equipped for Emperor Han Xian, so Chen Long was not afraid of the guards in the North Palace. The only obstacle is the huge North Palace, where will this jade seal be placed?
The most likely, of course, is to put it in the dormitory of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, as long as you find the house that the guards focus on, you can find the location of the dormitory; If you are not in the dormitory, you are likely to be in the imperial study where the emperor reads on weekdays. Chen Long vaguely remembered that some of the layout locations of the North Palace, this imperial study should not be far from the dormitory, and it would not be too difficult to find.
Chen Long looked out from the dormitory of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and saw that there was no one around, and no patrols passed by, thinking that the guards of the palace were really loose now. was about to open the door and step out to find the bedroom of Emperor Han Xian, but suddenly thought that Sun Jian in the official history was the heirloom jade seal found on the body of the palace maid in the well. When He Jin was killed, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao killed the eunuchs, and I don't know how many innocents were hacked to death.
Thinking of this, Long Chen wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, fortunately he had the knowledge of crossing, otherwise even if he turned the palace upside down, it would be impossible to find the jade seal, but which well did the palace maid vote?
First of all, it will not be a well that is still in use, otherwise the palace people would have discovered that the water was smelly, and then found the body of the palace maid. Secondly, the abandoned well should be a dry well, otherwise why would it be out of use?
Chen Long quickly checked the light brain in his mind, and the process of Sun Jian's obtaining the jade seal was described in the romance as follows: Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, after moving the capital to Chang'an, the princes were able to divide Luoyang, Sun Jian built three halls on the foundation of the temple in the city, and sacrificed to the princes. Sun Jian was lucky to get the national seal.
Chen Long was overjoyed after seeing it, it seems that this well should be next to the Taimiao, this Taimiao is very important, it is the temple of the emperor to worship the ancestors, according to the weekly system, it is generally located on the left side of the front palace, which is the standard configuration of the imperial palace at that time. The location is very conspicuous, and it should be effortless for Chen Long to find the main hall of the Taimiao.
After hesitating in his heart for a long time, Long Chen still felt that it was most likely that the jade seal had arrived in the well, and decided to go to find the dry well by the Taimiao Temple first. Quietly opening the door of Emperor Han Ling's bedroom, Chen Long observed left and right that no one was there, and quickly walked and stopped in the dark, entering the area where the front palace should be the Taimiao. Taimiao usually has no one to work at all, so it is even more silent, and there is not even a guard at all, so Chen Long can rest assured that he can find the target dry well.
Chen Long grabbed a handful of gravel in the grass, threw a stone into all the wells he passed by, and threw them into a well on the right side behind the main hall of the Taimiao, the stones fell, and this time he did not hear the echo of the water.
Chen Long was overjoyed in his heart, there was indeed a dry well here, he couldn't help but increase his confidence, and he didn't care about the dirty, he lay on the wall of the well, took out a dagger, and slowly fell to the bottom of the well, only to feel that the air in the well was faintly rancid, and his heart became more and more confident. There was a little silt at the bottom of the well, and Chen Long shook the fire, and without looking carefully, he saw a rotten corpse at a glance, and the blue-green palace maid on his body was not yet rotten.
The fire fold in Long Chen's hand directly illuminated the neck of the rotting corpse, and sure enough, there was a bag, Chen Long said in his heart that God would not deceive me, took off the bag and jumped up, got out of the deep well, and gasped for fresh air. The bag has also been slightly decayed, and when Long Chen tore it open, he saw a small vermilion box with a small golden lock hanging on it, what is the packaging box that is not the heirloom seal?
Chen Long was overjoyed in his heart, he didn't expect that it would take no effort to get it, and his judgment was still correct. With this jade seal, it is possible for Yuan Shu's troops to cooperate with their own actions, secretly enter Luoyang, and then cooperate with the actions of the peripheral Dong Alliance, and then Dong Zhuo's destruction is in sight.
Chen Long put away the vermilion box, quickly returned to the palace of Emperor Han Ling, made a gesture to Lu Chang that everything was going well, and returned to the tunnel again.
Chen Long and the others returned the same way and came to the exit of the tunnel under the courtyard near the Qinglou. There is this spring-like iron support under the floor tiles, which can pull the floor tiles up and down, with a small pull ring, Chen Long gently pulled, only to hear the sound of the outer wall of the floor tiles sliding, and then the floor tiles sank, Chen Long and others quickly stepped on the floor tiles and walked out, the floor tiles slowly closed again, and then the wall slid out again, completely covering the floor tiles, as if this was just a luxury toilet.
Chen Long looked at the night, it was not yet midnight, so he ordered everyone to secretly withdraw and gather near the Red Sleeve Garden. The Red Sleeve Garden was still lit up, and the prostitutes were full of customers, and Chen Long and the others were in this bustle, and once again returned to the Yan Mansion in fresh clothes and angry horses. Niu Fu was still loyal to the door, and greeted him with a smile when he saw this: "Why did General White Tiger come back so early?" ”
'Yan Baihu' smiled and said: "General Niu, it's just a cannon, and a lot of time will be wasted." I'm not like some people, who listen to songs and drink flower wine, I like to go straight to the goal! You don't know how wonderful those chicks are, but it's a pity that you're loyal to your duties, otherwise you must be the most popular with the girls. ”
Men like people to say that they are strong in that aspect, and General Niu is indeed good in that aspect, and Chen Long's high hat is just right. Niu Fu smiled flutteringly: "General White Tiger and Zai Xia have exactly the same temper, they like to be happy, what foreplay and afterplay, it is better to go directly into it!" After saying that, the two of them laughed out loud, and Chen Long said in his heart: "It's so dirty!" Who's like you!"
Laughing and entering the mansion, Niu Fu did not doubt that he had him, and also found an ear room to sleep and rest, thinking that he must suggest to the Taishi tomorrow, this Yan Baihu spends all day drinking, drunk and dreaming of death, where is there a little spy appearance, why bare staring at him all day long, it is better to let yourself stare at Cai Yong, Yang Xun and other characters. Thinking of the flowers and wine, I suddenly remembered that I didn't seem to smell the smell of alcohol on the White Tiger General just now, is it really as they said, I didn't even drink the flower wine, and the woman came back after playing?
I have to say that Niu Fu really found a flaw, Chen Long and the others did not get a drop of wine, which obviously violated the common sense of visiting the kiln. Fortunately, Niu Fu was not Li Ru, so after thinking about it, he put down this idea, found a suitable reason for himself, and went to Zhou Gong.
How did Long Chen know that because he didn't drink, he showed his flaws and just experienced an identity crisis. Filled with joy, he returned to the bedroom, took out the small vermilion box, twisted the golden lock, and revealed a warm and beautiful jade. Chen Long held this famous Heshi Bi in his hand, seeing that the jade color was white and transparent, surrounded by watermarks, and the tentacles were slightly warm, as if he could be integrated with people. The square circle is about four inches, the intersection of the five dragons on the New York, the front is engraved with the eight-character small seal of "Ordered by the Heaven and the Longevity of Yongchang", the ring is engraved with the pattern of double dragons playing with pearls, there are three sharp wavy lines at the bottom, representing the endless sea, engraved with a thinner inner line and a thicker outer edge line, which is a bilateral seal, and a small corner of the missing is inlaid with a yellow scarf, which is illustrating the historical event of Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty.
Chen Long's mood was agitated, and the small red candle beside him shone brightly on this side of the national seal ordered by the sky, as the so-called "Sunshine on the sea and the double dragon", which is the absolute symbol of this supreme imperial power, I don't know how many soldiers and people's blood has been drunk, and how many killings have been brought to this beautiful and rich Central Plains!
