Chapter 52: Shadow and Graphic Robbery
Xinyue also thought that Duo Jiugong was hiding information that was unfavorable to Tang Ao, but it turned out that Duo Jiugong was worried about this.
Xinyue disagreed, and reminded Duo Jiugong: "Tang Ao has returned to the Tang Dynasty, how should he return to the Mirror Flower World?" You don't seem to have told Tang Ao about this! ”
Duo Jiugong pursed his lips and smiled: "If Tang Ao can't even go back and forth to the Mirror Flower World freely, then we should stop thinking about finding the treasure mirror!" Because there may be only one, the Tang Ao we just faced is by no means the real Tang Ao, but the mirage of poverty. ”
When Xinyue heard this, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, looking at the place where Tang Ao disappeared, she was stunned, and she was extremely worried, hoping that Tang Ao remembered what she said to Tang Ao before.
Tang Ao entered and exited the mirror flower world for the first time in a conscious state, and the first thing that appeared in front of him was a hazy white light, faintly visible in the city streets, vaguely as if covered with a membrane.
When Tang Ao subconsciously reached out to touch it, what he saw in front of him was instantly clear, and he was actually standing outside Chang'an City.
Tang Ao looked at the majestic city gate, the bustling flow of people in the outer city, without the confusion of waking up from a dream, he was about to raise his legs and walk towards the city gate, but his shoulder was held down, and an urgent voice came from his ears: "Tang Tanhua, are you going to throw yourself into the net?" ”
Tang Ao turned his head to see that the person who spoke turned out to be the shopkeeper of the wine shop in the outer city, and the shopkeeper looked left and right to see that no one was paying attention to him and Tang Ao, and said in a low voice: "Tang Tanhua, this is not the place to speak, come with me quickly." ”
The shopkeeper didn't wait for Tang Ao to talk, pulled Tang Ao's sleeve and walked into his own wine shop, which had just opened at the time, and after the shopkeeper pushed Tang Ao into the wine shop, he locked the fence and closed the doors and windows, and then he let out a long breath.
The shopkeeper saw that Tang Ao looked ignorant, and said fearfully: "Tang Tanhua, the government and soldiers are all over the city to search for you, and all the gates of Chang'an have your shadow graphics, how can Tang Tanhua still dare to swagger through the city, don't you hear what happened to General Xue?" ”
Tang Ao came back to his senses slightly, he had been in the Mirror Flower World for more than a year, why did he return to the Tang Dynasty, as if the scene of the Golden Palace had just passed, and he couldn't help but be terrified when asked.
The time of Datang and the mirror flower world is out of sync, or is he falling into a poor dream, and the time in the dream is uncountable?
The shopkeeper arched his hand to Tang Ao and said: "Tang Tanhua said bluntly above the Golden Palace, it has been spread all over Chang'an, the villain is not talented, although he does not participate in the righteousness, but he also knows that Ji Sichen is not the blessing of the world, Chang'an has already been outside the city of soldiers and horses, and the water is impassable, Tang Tanhua is better to leave such a dangerous place as soon as possible." ”
Tang Ao listened to the shopkeeper's words, and felt touched, **************, today is a real comprehension, and then asked: "General Xue, what the shopkeeper just said, what happened to the Xue family?" ”
What General Xue refers to is Xue Rengui's father and son, Tang Ao has heard of it for a long time, and he admires the loyalty and courage of the two generals, but it is a pity that the Xue family guards the Xiliang border pass all the year round, and they have never met each other.
The shopkeeper was surprised: "Tang Tanhua still doesn't know?" Zuo Wuwei General Xue Ne was deposed because of his dissatisfaction with his words, and more than 100 people in the Xue family are going to be beheaded in the market today, poor Xue family father and son have contributed to the Tang Dynasty, and they don't want to suffer this disaster today, which is sad and lamentable! ”
Tang Ao had expected that Li Xian would be deposed, and there would be changes in the court, when Li Hong and Li Xian missed the position of the crown prince, the encounter of the subordinate officials of the East Palace was a lesson from the past, but he didn't expect that Wu Zetian had no scruples and aimed the knife at the loyal general.
"Where is the Holy One now?" Tang Ao didn't expect the shopkeeper to know about Li Xian's situation, but he couldn't help but ask.
The shopkeeper sighed: "Ten days ago, the emperor's carriage passed in front of the villain's wine shop, and I heard the rumors in the neighborhood that it was said that he was relegated to Junzhou, and the villain didn't know what kind of place Junzhou was." ”
When Tang Ao heard that Li Xian was alive, his hanging heart was relieved, and he couldn't wait to fly to Junzhou to see Li Xian.
But the Xue family's affairs could not sit idly by, and after weighing the priorities, Tang Ao thanked the shopkeeper of the wine shop, politely refused the shopkeeper's acceptance, and left the wine shop directly.
Tang Ao traveled to the country of gentlemen, although he had a big dream, whether it was rich or noble in his dream, it was all false, but eating vermilion grass, serving meat and sesame, and having the power of a unicorn in his right hand was not false at all, and he secretly thought in his heart that as long as he planned properly, it should not be difficult to keep the incense of the Xue family.
Passing by the city gate, Tang Ao peeked at it, and sure enough, there were notices posted at the city gate, and the content was the official document of sea fishing.
However, there is a big gap between the graphics of the painting and Tang Ao himself, if he is not a familiar person, he will definitely not be able to connect Tang Ao with the graphics on the official document of sea fishing.
Chang'an City has a circumference of dozens of miles, how can officers and soldiers guard everywhere? Tang Ao found a remote place, jumped three or four feet, and floated into the city as light as a swallow, feeling like two people before he didn't enter the mirror flower world.
At this time, let Tang Ao fight against Ming Chongyan, Tang Ao is confident that he will have the strength to fight, even if he can't win against Ming Chongyan, he won't lose too much, this is all the magic effect of the meridians and acupoints of the right hand, and taking the vermilion grass meat mushroom.
After Tang Ao entered the inner city, he didn't dare to swagger through the city, so he came to the small courtyard he had rented and couldn't help but be stunned when he walked into the house.
Just because the indoor windows are bright and clean, and the chrysanthemums on the bookcase are growing luxuriantly, it seems that someone cleans them every day.
Seeing a few unopened letters on the table, looking at the familiar handwriting on the envelope, Tang Ao's mouth opened slightly, his nose soured, and he couldn't help sighing: "Does Taiping come every day?" ”
Tang Ao didn't care about the sadness of the spring and autumn, the love of children and the importance of saving Zhonglianglai, immediately changed his clothes, took out a handful of firewood ash from the stove and smeared it on his face, and after a little hesitation, he stuffed the letter on the table into his arms, turned around and went straight to the market.
Before the Sui and Tang dynasties, the criminal law of executing prisoners was divided into the head of the sword, the beheading, and the abandonment of the city.
There are three generations of monarchs of the Tang Dynasty, there are few examples of slashing in the market in Chang'an City, today to kill more than 100 members of the Xue family in the market, Chang'an City shook inside and outside, whether it was a pity or an onlooker, the market has already surrounded the crowd of people, and the water is impassable.
Tang Ao squeezed into the crowd, only to see that the street market that had become a legal field was isolated from an area, more than 100 people tied their hands behind their backs, and a sign was inserted behind their heads.
Tang Ao was worried, he didn't have the skills of Xinyue and Duo Jiugong, although he was as light as a swallow and had a long life, he wanted to rescue the Xue family in the heavy siege of the Yulin Army, and it was difficult to ascend to the sky.
In the Xue family kneeling on the ground, there was a sudden cry of a baby, Tang Ao looked at it, only to see a child less than a year old crying, Xu is crying in the quiet street market, a soldier of the Yulin Army blocked the child's mouth indiscriminately.
In the prison beheading shed, the supervisor Qiu Shenji looked at the sky, and the palm holding the arrow was full of sweat.
It's a pity that he dared to refuse in front of Wu Zetian, in the face of more than 100 people in the Xue family, Qiu Shenji's forehead was tense, and his temples were in pain.
Cheng Wuting, who was sitting on the side, was like a statue of wood carving clay, looking at his nose and nose, motionless, but his forehead and the beads of sweat on the tip of his nose, Cheng Wuting's state on the surface was almost the same as Qiu Shenji.
The only thing to be thankful for is that this time the supervisor is not him, and his backbone can still be stiff for a while, after all, there is Qiu Shenji in front of him!
A red scarf wrapped his head, with a vicious face on his chest and breasts, came to the Qiu Shenji seat and said in an urn: "My lord, the time has come." ”
Qiu Shenji couldn't help but shudder, looked at the arrow in his hand, scratched his boots with the soles of his feet, turned his heart sideways, threw the arrow on the ground, and said in a tone of voice: "Chop." ”
After Qiu Shenji finished saying this, he only felt that the strength of his whole body was drained, and he almost fell from his seat.
Qiu Shenji knew that this kind of thing would be indispensable in the future, and most of it would be handled by him, and he couldn't help but scold in his heart, this kind of immoral deed, it should be done by Lai Junchen, Zhou Xing and others who fabricated charges, and that Pei Yan is not a good bird, all of them come to squeeze the military master, it is really hateful.
The executioner immediately picked up the large bowl of wine that had been prepared long ago, and after a few sips, he sprayed it on the bright ghost-headed knife with a pop.
The executioner has his own set of rhetoric, showing that he is acting for heaven, and has no personal grudges, so don't make false accusations when you go to the Hades Mansion.
Tang Ao was still a hundred zhang away from the front of the law field, and no matter how good his ears were, he couldn't hear what the executioner was muttering, but when he saw the executioner spitting wine out of the steel knife, Tang Ao knew that he had no way out.
Although tens of millions of people have gone to me! It's not that what he says is good, Tang Ao has just returned to the Tang Dynasty from the Junzi Kingdom, and whether the Junzi Country seems like a dream, Tang Ao understands what a gentleman does.
Tang Ao broke off his drink and before he could say anything, dozens of people suddenly poured out of a shop next to the market, these people carried a large urn in their hands, and threw it to the Dharma field one after another.
These people took advantage of the situation to rush to the Dharma field, and in the cover of the gray and chalky grass, they either pulled up the Xue family one by one, or went to untie the ropes on the Xue family.
The onlookers never expected that someone would rob the law field, but Qiu Shenji, who was sitting in the prison shed, Cheng Wuting, seemed to have expected it.
Without waiting for the two of them to command, a group of feather forest troops poured out from the high places on both sides of the market, stretching their bows and arrows, and the rattling bowstrings rang out together, and the arrows poured down like rain.
The area of the law field was instantly covered by a rain of arrows, and blood flashed in the chalk ash from time to time, mixed with cries and screams, and the chaos was incomparable.
Tang Ao was stunned for a moment, and saw that in addition to the archers in ambush on both sides of the market, there were hundreds of Yulin troops rushing out of the neighborhood, with the bow wound and the knife out of the sheath, which was clearly a trap, not only to behead the Xue family, but also to hook others, with a good calculation and a vicious heart.
Tang Ao saw a Yulin Army Captain wearing bright light armor passing by, knocked him off his horse with a horizontal arm, and at the same time grabbed the long lance in the opponent's hand, and threw himself into the chalk flying dust that had gradually fallen with a roar.
