Lord of Annam, on his birthday,

As a rule, the lord of the kingdom was to receive the ministers in the royal palace and to congratulate the ministers.

A bizarre thing happened to the family of Lord Situ Wang of Annan, Lord Wang was in a hurry to rush to the palace before he had time to eat breakfast, and it was originally well arranged, but I don't know why the subordinates got up late today, and they should have gotten up at the beginning of the hour to set off, but the subordinates called him up when he arrived.

This early dynasty can't catch up, but the birthday matter is a whole day, so Lord Wang still has to rush to the palace as soon as possible, so as not to delay the matter of the lord of the country to worship the ancestors and worship the sky.

"On behalf of the Tang Emperor, Li Tuo, an envoy of the Tang Dynasty and a member of the Ministry of Rites, congratulated the 60th birthday of the lord of Annan." However, these people didn't know that this Li Tuo was not the real Li Tuo, but Li Shan pretending.

When the morning pilgrimage was over, and everyone had celebrated, the lord of the kingdom set out with his ministers and envoys to the altar. Lord Wang is also smart, knowing that he will not be able to catch up with the early dynasty, he came to the altar one step ahead to prepare.

The day before his birthday,

Li Shan discussed with everyone at the inn: "If we want to enter the palace, we need someone to cover up and bring all our people in. The most suitable person for this person is Li Tuo, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty. We're going to take him down tonight. Then we can disguise ourselves as Li Tuo and blend into the king's birthday banquet. ”

Yun Fei said: "But if we are recognized, it will not be easy, it is impossible for none of these ministers of Annan to have seen Li Tuo, right?" ”

Li Shan said with a smile: "There are indeed people who know Li Tuo, according to Wu Tianzong's investigation in the past few days, this is Li Tuo has been closed in the post house since he came to Annan, so there are not many people who have seen Li Tuo now, and there is only one who can enter the birthday banquet, that is, Lord Situ Wang, who was responsible for receiving Li Tuo when Li Tuo entered Jiaozhou City that day." As long as he can't see Li Shan's appearance, all this will be easy to do. ”

The sacrifice took a whole morning, and the ritual was tedious. Li Shancai won't wait here all the time, he entered the palace just to have this time to prepare.

Li Shan came in with Yun Fei and Wu Tianzong. Yang Han is taciturn and can only fight, which is not suitable for these things. Ah San was drained away by Li Shan, and Ah San was an Arab with a weird appearance.

Li Shan looked at the incense burned by the lord of the country when he sacrificed, which was the kind of incense that was thicker than his fingers and more than one meter high, which could be burned for two hours. "The three of us will act separately, whether we succeed or not, we must come here to gather before that incense is burned."

The palace was peaceful and festive, and the ladies and eunuchs were busy entertaining the princes and nobles.

Dozens of cooks in the back kitchen are preparing in full swing, and countless delicacies from the mountains and seas are being made. Yunfei jumped over the eaves like a monkey and didn't attract anyone's attention. Escaping the eyes of countless palace maids, he came to the cellar where the wine was stored in the back kitchen.

"Wow, yes. This Annan lord is very good at enjoying it, and he can't find it anywhere compared to the cellar in the Daming Palace! Yunfei looked at the dazzling cellar with countless aged wines.

Yun Fei sniffed on all the wine jars, looking like he was enjoying it. I found a jar, lifted the lid and tasted it. "Ah, it's delicious." After two more sips, he suddenly heard movement outside, Yun Fei put the wine jar back in its place, and hid it in the wine cellar and stretched out.

Then he heard some of the eunuchs who came in say, "You have brought out all this wine and put it at the door of the cellar for the birthday feast of the lord of the kingdom in the evening." ”

Several eunuchs successively moved a jar of wine out of the cellar, and a eunuch took a silver needle at the door to test the poison one by one.

Last night

Wu Tianzong took out a packet of medicinal powder and handed it to Yun Fei and said, "The wine drunk at the birthday banquet will definitely be tested for poison by silver needles, and ordinary poisons and drugs will be discovered." There are three tests for poison, once when you leave the cellar, once before dinner, and again before the wine is served. This is a special ecstasy incense, and this simple incense is not toxic, so it can't be tried with a silver needle. To need the combination of another incense. ”

Seeing that a few eunuchs were gone, Yun Fei took out the ecstasy incense and sprinkled it on the wine jar one by one, and just after the wine was dispersed, he heard that someone was coming again, so he quickly turned over and hid in the corner, and turned out of the kitchen with the gecko swimming wall skill.

On the other side, Li Shan took off his official uniform, changed into a guard's clothes, and came to the back garden according to the topographic map of the palace he found before. This is the place where the birthday feast of the Lord of Annam begins in the evening. There are already palace maids and eunuchs who have set up tables, chairs, benches, etc. for birthday banquets here.

What Li Shan has to do is add a spice to the ecstasy fragrance in the wine. Because the spices cannot be sent to the banquet through wine and food, Li Shan must come here in advance, and the best cover is the flowers on the banquet, the fragrance of the flowers can hide the fragrance of the spices, and it can also make everyone smell the taste, and as long as the people who drink the wine will definitely be fascinated by the incense.

However, there was an endless stream of people in the back garden, and Li Shan couldn't find the time to go up to sprinkle spices for a while, so he could only hide quietly in the dark.

But he didn't want to, at this time, suddenly a hand was stretched out behind him to cover Li Shan's mouth, Li Shan was startled, but then calmed down, although he didn't know who this person was, but it was definitely not a palace guard, eunuch or the like, otherwise they would definitely shout. Judging from the touch and size of the hand covering his mouth, it was a woman, and her strength was not great.

Li Shan wisely chose to compromise, raised his hands and remained motionless, allowing this person to drag him into a room. Lishan dared to break free at this time, and turned around, but it was a gorgeously dressed girl who looked at him mischievously and said, "Say, who are you?" Why the sneaky here? ”

Li Shan's mind kept storming at this time, who is this person? She looks very beautiful, looks fifteen or sixteen years old, and has a phoenix hairpin, but her hairpin is inserted very casually, and her demeanor is jumpy. definitely doesn't look like a concubine, then there should be only one answer, that is, the princess of Annan.

Looking at her like this, it seemed that she didn't want to rush to report herself to the guards and let them arrest her, and Li Shan didn't do anything special before she caught herself. You have to think of a good reason to fool her in order to complete the mission and escape.

Li Shan made a decision between the lightning and flint, and pretended to be panicked and said: "Princess, I, I ......" Li Shan's eyes dodged, and he looked panicked.

The princess looked at Li Shan's appearance and became more interested, this guy seemed to be very funny. "You're not a guard in the palace, I see you're sneaking around here, you must be plotting against you, tell me, what are you here for? If not, I'll call the guards right now. ”

Li Shan stammered: "I'm a new guard in the palace, because I'm too tired, so I want to find a place to be lazy and sleep." ”

Princess Annan naturally could see that Li Shan was lying, and asked, "Don't tell the truth, okay, come with me." There's someone, there's an assassin. Princess Annan grabbed Li Shan's arm and walked out, shouting, but in fact, the shouting was not loud, obviously scaring Li Shan.

Li Shan deliberately waved his hand in a panic and said, "Don't, I say, I say." I, I'm actually here to find you, princess. I just want to see the princess. ”

Princess Annan obviously didn't expect Li Shan's answer, and was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh, why are you coming to me?" Do you know me? ”

Li Shandao: "I am the second child of an inn in Jiaozhou City, I have no power and no power, how can I have the opportunity to meet the princess." It's just that last year's Lantern Festival was fortunate enough to see the princess under the city tower, and I couldn't help but be fascinated by the princess's appearance. One of my cousins was a palace guard, and I begged him to let me in for his class. I beg the princess to be merciful, don't let the guards come to arrest me, it doesn't matter if I die, anyway, I was an orphan, but I couldn't make the list in the imperial examination for many years, and I have long been a waste. But I don't want my cousin to be involved with me. ”

Fortunately, Li Shan heard from the innkeeper about the princess, otherwise she would really not start, the princess is also innocent, only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she doesn't know that people are sinister. If any person could disguise himself as a guard and infiltrate the palace, then the lord of the country would have died I don't know how many times.

Princess Annan asked with a strange expression, "You mean, you came into the palace just to see me?" What if you get caught by the guards? ”

Li Shan's eyes were firm and said: "As long as I can see the princess, I won't regret dying." ”

Princess Annan burst out laughing and said, "You're really a fool, okay, you've seen me, is there anything else to do?" ”

Li Shan observed his words and felt that the princess seemed to believe his words, and said in the next dose of fierce medicine: "Princess, I am a poor boy, and there is nothing to give to the princess." I only made a poem for the princess to express my heart.

Ask the world, what is love? Straight religion promises life and death. There are double flyers in the south and the north, and the old wings have been cold and hot several times. Happy and fun, parting bitter, there are even more crazy children. You should have a saying, thousands of miles of stratus clouds, thousands of mountains and twilight snow, who does the shadow go to?

Hengfen Road, lonely and drummed. The smoke is still calm. The soul is a little more groaning, and the mountain ghosts are crying in the wind. The sky is also jealous, and the warblers and swallows are all loess. Through the ages, in order to stay for the people, he sang and drank wildly, and visited Yanqiu. ”

This poem is Li Shan's favorite poem, how many people have been touched by the sentence "Ask what is the love in the world, and teach people to live and die", Princess Annan's age at the beginning of her love is naturally no exception, listening to this poem is a little stupid.

After a while, Princess Annan said, "You made this poem for me?" ”

Li Shan nodded solemnly, looked at Princess Annan's eyes, and knew that this little prince took the initiative to be compassionate. I felt very guilty in my heart, after all, she was still a child, and she had to accept such a deception. But if Li Shan can't escape today, I don't know how much bloody rain will be added.

Li Shan said: "Princess, if you can tell this poem to the princess, I will die without regrets, and if I don't work for the princess, I will go out to find their guards and turn myself in." ”

Saying that Li Shan was about to leave the king, the princess quickly pulled Li Shan over and said, "Are you crazy?" If they catch you, you'll kill you, do you want to die like that? ”

Li Shancai didn't want to die, so he was sure that Princess Annan would stop him. But there was indeed a confusion on his face and he said, "Princess, what do you mean?" ”

The princess said, "Didn't you think about how to get out when you came in?" I'll help you get out. ”

Li Shan was secretly happy in his heart, waiting for your words. "My cousin said hello to his friends, and as long as I could walk through the back garden and get to the back door, they would let me out. But there are so many palace maids and guards in the back garden, I can't get by. ”

Princess Annan grabbed Li Shan's clothes and said, "Okay, you just come with me." I'll send you over, and they won't dare to do anything to me. ”

This is not the result that Li Shan wants, Li Shan quickly stopped and said: "No, princess, they will definitely be suspicious if you send me out like this, you can send me out, but I will also be arrested after I leave the palace, and it will be the same result." ”

Princess Annan didn't know if what Li Shan said was right, but she believed in Li Shan now and didn't want him to die, so she asked, "Then what can you do?" ”

Li Shan said: "That's it, princess, you go to the front door of the back garden, find a way to lure the palace maids and guards here, and I will have time to escape." ”

Princess Annan smiled: "That's a good idea, I thought you were a fool, and you didn't want to fight." Alright, I'm going to help you get people away, you can go quickly. Don't do these stupid things in the future, if you really get caught, you'll die. ”

Li Shan said with a grateful face: "Princess, you are really good, I have no regrets about seeing the princess this time." ”

Princess Annan smiled shyly, took the lead in pushing open the door and walked out, and Li Shan waited quietly here.

After a while, I heard the princess's commanding shout, which blew away all the palace maids and eunuchs, and called all the guards over. Princess Annan is the pearl of the lord of the country, and she has been favored in the palace since she was a child, who dares not to listen to her words.

Li Shan watched the guards leave in a group, quickly came out of the room, ran to the arranged banquet, sprinkled the spices one by one in each flower basket, and then left quickly.

When he returned to the altar, the incense had just finished burning, and Yun Fei had been waiting impatiently, and said, "You are so slow, this little thing has wasted so much energy." ”

Li Shandao: "You two are first-class martial arts masters, if I have light skills like the two of you, I can come back soon." How's the matter going? ”

Wu Tianzong took out half of the tiger talisman from his bosom and said: "This is the talisman of Annan Kingdom, with it, you can mobilize the garrison of Taiyuan City." Because I've seen the appearance of the tiger talisman before, there is no way to imitate it, so I can only steal it directly, just hoping that it won't be discovered soon. ”

Li Shandao: "Without further ado, you now hurry out of the palace with the tiger talisman and go to Taiyuan City, and tell the people of the martial arts family to prepare for action." (To be continued.) )
