Chapter 253: Breaking into the Dragon Pool at Night
Li Shimin frowned and said: "The idea is not bad, but now we are also actively preparing to seek major events in the world, and if we want to meet the huge requirements of the evil emperor to travel, I am afraid it will also be stretched." Vertex M. updated the fastest" Lan Ji'an sighed: "Now is not the time to turn against the evil emperor, we want to cut off Yu Wenhua and his henchmen, and we can't come up with the best way to make the evil emperor take back the order of Miss Tang to serve in the palace, how can this be good!" Li Xuan heard this, his heart moved, and he said slowly and forcefully: "As long as I can save Bing'er, I can contribute money and efforts." Li Shimin was taken aback and said happily: "Are you really willing to do this to save Tang Bing's sister?"
Li Xuan nodded solemnly.
Lan Ji'an said strangely: "Li Shaoxia is wandering in the rivers and lakes, where did he get the huge wealth?" Li Shimin said: "I think he must have ......" sighed and said to Li Xuan: "You are willing to take out the wealth that Shen Wuxing put in the Hidden Sword Villa to save Tang Bing's sister, it really moved me." Well, I'll do it to convince the evil emperor. He turned his head to Lan Ji'an and said, "After dawn, I will immediately leave for the palace and try to meet the evil emperor, you have to treat the Li family brother well." ”
Li Xuan said secretly: "The day after tomorrow is the night of the first month of next month, if you don't act as soon as possible, I'm afraid it's too late!
He followed Lan Ji'an out of the secret room and came all the way to a delicate and clean room. When he entered the house, he saw that the Ye brothers and sisters were kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and pleading, Li Xuan knew that they were helpless, and he was already relieved. After sending off the Ye brothers and sisters, Li Xuanjiang thought carefully before and after, although he didn't like Li Shimin, who was young and old, yin and yang, and always had unpredictable thoughts in his chest, pretending to be sincere, but when faced with the plan he proposed was vicious, or righteous, or mixed with good and evil, he felt that his eyes were full of immeasurable confidence, and every word he said was sincere.
Li Xuan sighed secretly, knowing that he not only read the rivers and lakes, but also hesitated to deal with things, and clearly noticed that what Li Shimin and Lan Ji'an said was not only true or false, but also set up a circle for himself to get into, but in order to save Tang Bing, he was willing to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, even if he lost his life, he had no regrets. He thought about it in his mind for a long time, but he simply stopped thinking about it, patted his head and sighed to himself, before he closed his eyes and rested, not realizing that the sky was already bright.
After breakfast, Lan Ji'an hurried over. Li Xuan saw that his face was solemn, and knew that he must have come here to rescue Tang Bing.
Lan Ji'an spread out the long scroll in his hand, pointed to the criss-crossing graphics on the scroll and said, "This picture is the figure of the Chang'an Imperial Palace. Shaoxia you see, Chang'an City is composed of three parts: Outer Guo City, Palace City, Imperial City, among which Outer Guo City is a rectangle, about 18 miles long from east to west, 16 miles wide from north to south, there are three city gates on each side, except for the Mingde Gate in the south is five doorways, the rest are three doorways...... You see again, Miyagi is located in the north of the central part of the city, the middle is Daxing Palace, and the main hall is Daxing Palace. The east is the imperial palace, and the west is the palace where the palace people live...... And the dragon pond is in the middle of the lush dense forest on the north side of the Yeting Palace. ”
The wind rose and fell, and the mist outside the window dissipated.
Li Xuan looked at the position Lan Ji'an was pointing at, and said in a deep voice: "Since the Yeting Palace belongs to the Inner Palace, except for the eunuchs, there should be no normal men in it, why can the three brothers of Tianmen Mountain guard it?" Lan Ji'an sighed and said: "In addition to the Golden Armor Imperial Forest Army in the entire palace, there are actually many masters of the inner and outer five provinces who are responsible for guarding them, and Yu Wenhua is the highest official who leads the inner and outer five provinces. It would not be easy for him to arrange a few people to guard the dragon pool. Li Xuan nodded, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Why is the biggest difficulty in entering the Dragon Pond here?"
Lan Ji'an's face turned red when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "The secret waterway and the three brothers of Tianmen Mountain are the biggest obstacles. ”
Li Xuanqi said: "How can there be a secret waterway in Longchi?"
Lan Ji'an said with a smile: "The evil emperor Yang Guang is extremely obscene and extravagant, in addition to dominating his mother and sister-in-law, bullying his sister and insulting his sister, lingering in the meat forest wine pool, using sandalwood as firewood and other heinous things, he also plays tricks. This mysterious dragon pool is what he came up with. ”
Li Xuan said: "What is this dragon pool used for?"
Lan Ji'an gritted his teeth and said: "All the women and palace maids who are favored by him but are unwilling to obey will be sent here first. I heard that there is only one huge empty house on the island of Longchi. There is no door to this house, and you can only enter it through the roof. In addition, the walls on all four sides of the house are double-layered, and in winter they open to a honeycomb wall, which is as cold as the outside, and in summer they close the honeycomb wall...... Alas...... Whoever entered the house was either frozen to death or went mad by guarding the empty room. Of course, there are those who can't stand it and finally give in. Hey, those women who gave in were only toyed with once or twice by the evil emperor, and finally were thrown into the hungry wolf pen in the meat forest, and died in a very miserable state. Lan Ji'an hadn't finished speaking, but he felt that his wrist had been tightly grasped by Li Xuan, and a painful pain hit his heart, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Young man, why are you?"
Li Xuan said coldly: "Since you know that Longchi Island is such a scourge for people, why did you send Bing'er into the tiger's mouth?"
Lan Ji'an endured the pain and said with a dry smile: "It was not our idea to send Miss Tang to the remote island of Longchi, but it was arranged by Yu Culture, and there are ...... And also...... It was the evil emperor Yang Guang who heard about the beauty of the Tang girl and forced the Tang Guogong Li to send it over...... Shaoxia...... Can you please let go!...... Therefore, in order to rescue Miss Tang, you need to act as soon as possible, and in order not to implicate Lord Li, the Duke of Tang Guo, you also need to satisfy the greedy, lustful, extravagant, and lustful thoughts of the evil emperor Yang Guang. Oh, Li Shaoxia, we are on orders, and we don't want Miss Tang to have an accident!"
Li Xuan sighed when he heard this, let go of Lan Ji'an's wrist, and said angrily: "Okay, when will we do it, let's talk quickly." ”
Lan Ji'an wiped the cold sweat that broke out from the pain, and said in a trembling voice: "The second prince explained before entering the palace, and he can come back before dark." If the chief eunuch in the palace, Wang Gonggong, is willing to come forward to help, assist the second prince to intercede in front of the evil emperor, and give up the matter of the lucky Tang girl on the first day of the next month, we can do it. There are also uncertainties in this matter, so please be patient and wait for the letter. ”
Li Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then I'll wait another day." Master Lan, you tell everyone that I can only wait for one day. During this period, if the second prince and you have any more lies and deceives each other, so that Bing'er suffers humiliation, I will not only kill this chicken and dog, but also go north to Taiyuan and kill Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang with my own hands, and even boil their rebellion to the world. ”
Lan Ji'an smiled bitterly and said: "The second son knows better than anyone else, your skills are unmatched, how can he lie to you!"
Li Xuan finally managed to survive until dark, and when he heard someone coming in a hurry outside the house, he jumped to the door with an arrow step, and saw that it was Li Shimin and Lan Ji'an who came, and he didn't see the courtesy, and asked: "What is the result?" Li Shimin seemed to be indescribably happy, and said: "The chief manager of the prince really gave the Li family enough face, and said a lot of things in front of the evil emperor, although the words deliberately said that Tang Bing's sister was an ominous person and could not be touched, but the purpose I understand, it is not to make the evil emperor change his mind!" Hey, now that the Evil Emperor has let go, only the entanglement of Yu Culture and the five inner and outer mansions remains. I think, let's go to the palace tonight to rescue Tang Bing's sister. Master Lan, take out the map I drew again!"
Lan Zian spread out the map he had brought in the morning again. Li Shimin pointed to the location of Longchi and said: "If you want to cross the secret waterway, you must bring someone who understands water. I think it's best for the Ye brothers and sisters and Master Huang to go together. Hey, Ouchi Palace is no better than other places, there are many masters. Since the matter is to be kept extremely secret, the fewer people the better. I think it's safer for the six of you to go together. ”
Li Xuan nodded and said, "Do the Ye brothers and sisters know the entrance to the secret waterway?"
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements." Also, the people who guard the first five checkpoints of the palace tonight have a relationship with me, and you can just go to the code 'Tang Ruxue, Ice Ruxin'. And the two people guarding the entrance of the waterway cave are newly joined the inner and outer five mansions, I am not familiar with it, and you need to cut through the mess quickly and neatly. ”
Li Xuan said in a deep voice: "Breaking through the level and killing people, this naturally doesn't need you to teach." Li Shimin nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Things have progressed, the ...... of the Hidden Sword Villa" Li Xuan stopped when he heard what he wanted to say, and knew what he meant, and said: "Since I have promised to use the wealth deposited by Shen Wuxing in the Hidden Sword Villa in exchange for the evil emperor's order to retract the insult to Bing'er, I will not break my word." It's just that the Tibetan Sword Villa is unparalleled in the world, containing all kinds of mysteries of the time, place, and place, if there is no Xuantie inlaid jade key, no one can enter the villa. Li Shimin nodded and said, "I know this." Li Xuan said again: "But at present, the key to the Xuantie inlaid jade is not on me." ”
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and his face changed slightly: "It's not on you, then what's the use of you agreeing!" Li Xuan smiled and said: "I am the owner of the Hidden Sword Mountain Villa, and I am also the leader of the Heavenly God Gang, so I naturally have the right to dispose of this wealth." The Dark Iron Jade Key was taken away by the bamboo leaves, but they didn't have much time to leave, and if you hurry up, you might be able to catch up. ”
Li Xuan said, took a pen and paper, wrote a note, dried it and handed it to Li Shimin, and said, "With this letter I wrote, you will be able to easily retrieve the Xuantie inlaid jade key." After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Shimin with a sincere face,
Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this, took the letter, read it carefully, and then solemnly handed it to Lan Ji'an, and advised: "The stakes are very high, you take people to go quickly." As he spoke, he said slowly: "You have to respect a few friends!"
Seeing that the arrangements were over, Li Xuan turned around and wanted to go outside the house, but was stopped by Lan Ji'an.
Lan Ji'an said: "The second son has made an appointment with the brothers in the first five levels, if you go now, you will definitely startle the snake." ”
When Li Xuan heard this, he exhaled a breath and said, "You really can't be in a hurry." Alright, well, just wait!" I don't know how long it took, the night sky was slightly cold on a spring night, and the hooked moon slowly moved towards the western sky. When the time came, Li Xuan, the Ye brothers and sisters and Huang Yu had already sat in a well-covered carriage and came to the outside of the palace in twists and turns.
The night is deep, the wind is like a lover's whispered breath, and there is an unspoken passion hidden in the gentleness. Li Xuan knew that tonight's trip was not trivial, and a slight mistake might cause unforeseen disasters, so he didn't dare to be careless, and spit out cross-legged all the way to nourish his spirit.
After a while, the carriage stopped. Li Xuan and the others got out of the carriage and saw that they were already under a towering wall. The six people looked at each other, did not speak, began light exercises, jumped on the three-zhang high city wall, and before they could stand still, they saw four people walking slowly in the dark. The night was cold, and everyone saw that these four people were walking steadily, and their martial arts were not weak, and they were worried, but when they saw that these four people were seven or eight feet away, they stood still steadily, and asked in a low voice: "Where did the savages come from?" Ye Feng said in a deep voice: "Tang is like snow, and ice is like heart." The second son of the eighteenth son said first, let us come to visit our friends, and ask the four to raise their noble hands. ”
The four of them nodded in unison, didn't come closer, turned around and walked back.
When Li Xuan saw it, he was already convinced of what Li Shimin said. The six of them still didn't dare to be careless, and carefully walked according to the drawings they knew by heart, so they encountered four more checkpoints, and after the other party heard Ye Feng report 'Tang Ruxue, Bing Ruxin', they still didn't stop it. Everyone walked through the road and climbed over the wall, twisted and turned, and came to a dense forest without losing tea time.
It is said that the palace is brightly lit at this time, but what is strange is that in the undulating houses, there are only a few dim lights, Li Xuan said darkly: "Li Shimin is really powerful, and he has arranged the plan so carefully." ”
He looked at the woods, and said in a dark heart: "I have long heard that the palace is hidden from assassins, and tall trees are rarely planted, and even if there is, it is in the harem garden. Now it seems that although this palace belongs to the inner palace, or because it is not an important place for the emperor to stay, this large woodland was planted here. He thought that he would be able to see Tang Bing in a moment and rescue her, and his heart stirred. Ye Feng saw Li Xuan observe the dense forest, and after a few ups and downs, he disappeared into the forest.
Although the dense forest, with the help of the moonlight, Li Xuan and the others still found a path into the forest, and walked only a dozen zhang forward, and found that the path in the dense forest was actually arranged according to Zhuge Liang's chaotic array. If others encounter such an intricate and hidden path, if they don't retreat, they will die in the dense forest, but Li Xuan is most familiar with all the formations in the world is Zhuge Liang's chaotic formation, so he took everyone without any thrill, and easily walked through the forest.
When he came to the central lake, he saw that the moonlight was like water, the water was like the moonlight, and the lake water sprinkled with moonlight was as soft as a sweet dream. The night sky, the lake, and the isolated island, are as quiet as a virgin, except for the rustling of the leaves of the dense forest, which makes everyone have an unhuman illusion.
In front of me is a large man-made lake.
Li Xuan motioned to everyone not to act rashly, and unfolded the method of 'gecko swimming against the wall' in the chapter of moving muscles and bones, stuck to the ground, and slid towards the mouth of the secret waterway marked in his heart. He had only been gliding for dozens of feet, when he suddenly felt two snorting sounds faintly coming from the right side. Li Xuanxin said: "In terms of my internal strength, any wind and grass within a hundred zhang will not escape my ears, but why did I realize that there are people guarding here......" At the place where his mind moved, his body did not dare to stop, and he was about to slowly lean over and solve the two of them, but he felt that his left arm touched a silk thread. This silk thread was grayish-white, hidden in the faint moonlight grass, Mo said that he was swimming forward, even if he searched carefully, I am afraid it would be extremely difficult to find.
He secretly screamed that something was wrong, leaned over and jumped up, only to hear the two sounds of 'sigh', and a sword and a knife were already wrapped in a sharp force and cracked.
Li Xuan listened to the wind and knew that these two people were not very skilled in martial arts. His body in the air did not rise or fall, and at the same time, he lightly stretched his right arm, bent his fingers and flicked towards the sword, 'Zheng Zheng' sounded softly, and the two people on the opposite side snorted, and the swords flew out of their hands together!
Since the two of them are not very good at martial arts, why can they conceal their breaths so tightly? Li Xuan didn't have time to think about it, and the person had already flown up. You must know that in terms of Li Xuan's skill, it is not difficult to bounce down the opponent's sword, the difficult thing is that he can flick the sword with the softest internal strength, making the lowest sound that will not alarm others. The two of them didn't seem to expect that there were still people in the world who could shoot down their blades in one move, and they couldn't help but panic when they were surprised.
The two of them were about to make a sound and shout, but they saw that Li Xuan had pounced like a goshawk.
The strange masks on the faces of the two have been crackled by Li Xuan's palm.
By the moonlight, the two of them had seen Li Xuan's face clearly, and exclaimed: "Li Shaoxia...... Li Shaoxia, why are you here?" Before the words fell, he suddenly felt a pain in his waist, and both fell to the ground. Li Xuan was also shocked when he heard the two of them say their names. In an instant, he retracted seventy or eighty percent of his strength, and when he saw the two of them fall, he looked at them and saw that he knew the two of them. (To be continued.) )
