Fission Chapter 6: Action in the Dark
As the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Linyang City has not experienced war for more than 200 years, with a large population, merchants gathered, and many wealthy merchants moved their families here, after all, in this troubled era, only these big countries can resist the cruelty of war. It was almost late at night when the city was plunged into darkness. And in a small shop next to the Wufang shop in the south of the city, a small purple lantern was hung up, so bewitching. The shop with the door panel was only a few feet square, but a few feet deep underneath, a huge underground space was revealed. The bronze lamps on the walls are lit up individually, and the space is divided into small rooms, where several figures shake and whisper to each other, showing the vividness of the space.
In the second half of the night, a figure secretly appeared, and in this almost labyrinth-like space, it went straight to the southeast corner, and after seeing a small room with the words "February of the seventeenth year of the Mandate of Heaven in the Tang Dynasty", he pushed the door and entered, without making a sound. A fist-sized fluorescent stone was pulled out of his arms, and he carefully rummaged through the contents of the bookcase in this room. He didn't stop until a few pages of pale yellow paper appeared sandwiched together. He scrutinized the contents.
The first page reads: Take the task of the Central Plains Headquarters, and find out three pieces of information for one person, and the level is extremely high. This task was assigned to our Tang State Branch, and we waited for a month, and two have been discovered, and one has not been discovered. The three pieces of information are:

On the second page, only the mystery of the borrowed seal is written, and it is blank. And on the third page, the text begins to appear densely, and it reads:

The last page is the gold helmet and silver armor:
Gold helmet and silver armor, so the old legend. In all the troubled times of a hundred years, there will be people wearing gold helmets and silver armor to appear to conquer the world and end the hundred years of troubled times. According to historical records, there have been ten times in a hundred years of troubled times, and gold helmets and silver armor have dominated the world six times. The most recent time was the Taizu of the Lin Dynasty, who wore gold helmets and silver armor, fought in all directions, and finally became an emperor. The Golden Helmet is composed of four coiled dragons, and the four dragon heads roar in the sky. The silver armor is covered with black cloth armor and silver armor.
The man read it in one sitting, thought for a moment, and put everything back in its place. Rolled out of the room. Blend into the black space again. It sprang out of the ground, and flew towards a small courtyard. After flashing into a house, a black cloth in his hand surrounded the whole room, and fluorescent stone carefully inspected the entire room in his hand before he breathed a sigh of relief. After sitting down, the man began to close his eyes and recuperate, and after a quarter of an hour, he began to write on a small piece of paper, and wrote with his eyes:
Now it has been found out that someone in the Central Plains has inquired about three news: the Tang Dynasty borrowed seals, the distribution of various forces in the Tang Dynasty, and the gold helmet and silver armor. A has been found out two or three. The subordinates thought that this person's bid was extremely high, the time was tight, and the things he asked for were mostly related to the Tang Kingdom, this person was not a Tang person, and he must have a plan for the Tang Dynasty. In addition, the forces in the Tang Dynasty changed again, and the subordinates thought that this person had taken action against the Tang State, and the changes and three pieces of news were transmitted to the headquarters. It is hoped that a decision will be made at an early date.
The payment was made for Tiansan, and this person rolled up this earnestness. Then he pondered for a moment and began to write down the news he had seen during the night. When it was almost dawn, he took the written thing into his arms, walked out of the room, and disappeared in an instant.
