[Dream back to Datang-02]
As for the cause and effect of the "Xuanwumen change", Yue Xingwen's understanding is naturally not as good as that of Qin Lu, a history major. After the three discussed it, they decided to take advantage of the dead of night to go to the largest restaurant in the capital to meet up with their teammates.
The streets were pitch black. In ancient times, there was no electricity and no internet, people had no nightlife, and it was normal to go to bed early. The three of Yue Xingwen walked for a while by the moonlight, and they didn't even see a single person, so naturally they couldn't inquire about the location of the restaurant.
Yue Xingwen was anxious in his heart when he suddenly heard the voice of "The sky is dry, be careful with the candles", followed by the sound of "Dong... dong! dong! dong" with one slow and three fast beating.
Qin Miao said softly: "One slow and three fast. This is the fourth watch, which is from 1 to 3 in the morning. We can ask the watchman to find out where the restaurant is."
Qin Lu took the initiative to say, "I'll go. Xingwen, you are wearing an official uniform, so it's easy to reveal your identity."
Qin Miao and Yue Xingwen hid in the shadows, while Qin Lu stepped forward to find the watchman to inquire about the news. She excused herself from being a foreigner and lost her way in the capital, so the watchman offered to take her there in person.
Yue Xingwen followed Qin Lu all the way, worried that Qin Lu would be in danger.
Fortunately, the watchman was indeed a warm-hearted person, so he took Qin Lu directly to the door of the "Fulai Inn", and told him, "This is the largest inn in the capital. It's not safe for you to go out alone, girl, go and find it. Your father and brother."
Qin Lu said gratefully, "Thank you, big brother."
After the watchman left, Qin Lu knocked on the door of the inn. The inn clerk opened the door reluctantly and yawned, "Girl, the shop is closed!"
Qin Lu said with red eyes, "My brother and I are separated. We made an appointment to meet at the inn. Can I ask for your help!"
Seeing her pitiful appearance, the man couldn't help softening his tone: "What does your brother look like and what clothes are you wearing? I'll see if there is anyone like this in the inn."
Just as Qin Lu was about to speak, a familiar voice came from the second floor of the inn: "Xiao Lu."
Qin Lu looked up and saw that it was Zhuo Feng and Lin Manluo.
Qin Lu immediately showed a surprised expression and shouted, "Brother, sister-in-law."
Lin Manluo: "..." Why didn't you call your elder sister, but just called your sister-in-law
Zhuo Feng coughed lightly, walked down the stairs quickly, and said in a low voice, "Where have you been? I've been looking for you all day with your sister-in-law. Let's go, come in quickly."
Qin Lu obediently followed them upstairs. After entering the room and closing the door, Qin Lu leaned into Lin Manluo's ear and said a few words. Lin Manluo opened the window, vines flew out of her hand, and instantly pulled Qin Miao and Yue Xingwen in.
Seeing Xingwen's outfit, Zhuo Feng asked curiously, "Xingwen, what kind of outfit are you wearing, you still look like a civil servant?"
Yue Xingwen said helplessly: "I'm the rate Geng Cheng of the East Palace."
Lin Manluo had a question mark on her face: "What is Zugengcheng?"
Qin Miao explained: "Chuan Gengcheng is a small official in charge of timekeeping and chores in the Prince's Mansion. In the Tang Dynasty, the official residence was from the seventh grade. The light green official uniform worn by Xingwen was the dress of the seventh grade official."
Zhuo Feng suddenly realized: "It turned out to be the person of Prince Li Jiancheng." He looked at Lin Manluo, and Lin Manluo followed closely and said, "I am Princess Qin's maid, Zhuo Feng is the guard of Princess Qin, and we are all from Li Shimin's camp. This afternoon, Zhuo Feng and I ran into each other in the yard, and we agreed to come to the inn to wait for our teammates in the dead of night. But until now, there are only the three of you."
Qin Lu couldn't help but be surprised: "Didn't the others come?"
Yue Xingwen asked, "Where's Pingce? You haven't met him yet?"
Zhuo Feng shook his head: "No."
Yue Xingwen couldn't help but be confused. It stands to reason that Pingce is the easiest person to get out of them. The coordinate system is a light function, and it is not a problem to jump over the eaves-unless his coordinate system skills are banned.
Thinking of this, Yue Xingwen couldn't help but worry: "I don't know what the other people are, and I didn't come to the appointed place. Maybe I'm in trouble and I can't leave for the time being."
Qin Miao suddenly said: "It is also possible that they are not in this time and space."
Zhuo Feng was stunned: "Not in this time and space? What do you mean?"
Qin Miao explained in a low voice: "The exam mode of "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" is to let us return to the Tang Dynasty, replace the identities of some characters, promote the development of the plot, and make the historical plot run on the original trajectory. In the ninth year of martial arts, all that needs to be done is to assist Li Shimin to complete the 'Xuanwu Gate Change' and kill Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji."
Lin Manluo nodded understandingly: "I guessed this, Princess Qin met her elder brother, the eldest grandson Wuji today, and mentioned that Li Yuanji was fanning the flames in the harem and smearing Li Shimin everywhere. I guess, now is the 'Xuanwu Gate change'. 'The time before the outbreak?"
Qin Miao said: "That's right. In the ninth year of Wude, the open and secret struggle between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng has reached a heated stage, but Li Shimin has been hesitant. After all, killing his brother will not leave a good reputation, and at that time, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were powerful. Strong, Li Shimin only has 800 personal soldiers in his hands, if he really does it, his chances of winning are not high, so he has been reluctant to do it first."
Yue Xingwen straightened out the causes and consequences and said, "But Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji will not be polite to him. They not only conspired to assassinate him during the banquet, but also kill his soldiers. After Li Shimin knew the news, he finally Can't bear it anymore, decide to go all out and start first?"
Qin Miao nodded: "It is recorded in the history books that Xingwen's Wang Ye is the key figure. You need to tell the secrets you have heard to King Qin Li Shimin as soon as possible."
Zhuo Feng and Lin Manluo finally understood. No wonder Xingwen replaced a small official in the East Palace. It turned out that this was the undercover agent Li Shimin sent to the East Palace.
Zhuo Feng scratched his head and said, "Li Shimin seems to be very busy and has not been in the palace all day. Moreover, the palace of the Qin Dynasty is heavily guarded, so you can't go in easily. If you get caught after entering, it will be troublesome."
As the undercover agent Li Shimin sent to the East Palace, Wang Hao in history must have a way to contact Li Shimin and tell him the secret as soon as possible.
But now, the library has replaced Yue Xingwen. He doesn't know how to contact Li Shimin at all, and he doesn't even know what the other party looks like. Rushing into the Qin Palace will only be self-defeating.
What's more, Li Shimin has been very busy recently, and it is difficult to accurately catch the time when he returns to the palace, and if Yue Xingwen leaves the East Palace for a long time, it will cause suspicion from the East Palace.
Yue Xingwen asked, "Can all your skills be used?"
Qin Lu shook his head with a wry smile: "My globe cannot be summoned."
Qin Miao said: "The previous skills of the Tang Dynasty 'sweeping Liuhe' and 'burning the company' can be used. A cup of wine to release Bingquan, Wencheng and Qin are all events that have not happened yet, so they can't be used."
Zhuo Feng was helpless: "My magnets and electric current are completely useless, only light and gravity can be used."
Lin Manluo's vine summoning was not affected. It seems that the library settles skills based on time nodes. The tools, characters, and event skills that have not appeared in the current time and space cannot be used, and Jiang Pingce's coordinate system will certainly not be used.
Originally, I wanted Qin Lu to lurk in the Qin Wangfu. After discovering Li Shimin, he could use the plate transposition skill to pick up Xingwen at any time. Now, this method does not work. Yue Xingwen had to stay in Qin Wangfu by himself, so that he could tell Li Shimin the secret as soon as possible.
After thinking about it, Yue Xingwen suddenly came up with an idea: "Why don't I go to the princess' place with Sister Manluo, and Sister Manluo said, I'm your cousin, my parents are dead, and I have nowhere to go to the capital, please take me to the princess. I'm a handyman. Princess Qin has a kind personality and should agree."
Zhuo Feng and Lin Manluo looked at each other and felt that this method was feasible.
Just at the cusp of the limelight recently, the guards under Li Shimin are strictly managed, and it is easy to be detected by the leader when they pretend to be guards and sneak into the palace. If you disguised yourself as a handyman and entered the princess' side, it would be easier to gain the trust of Princess Qin if there was Lin Manluo to testify.
Everyone quickly discussed the countermeasures.
Qin Lu and Qin Miao returned to the East Palace, and Zhuo Feng and Lin Manluo took Yue Xingwen back to the Qin Palace.
Prince Qin's mansion was heavily guarded and could not get through the gate. Lin Manluo simply made a vine swing and swung into the yard from a tree. Zhuo Feng stole a set of servant's clothes and let Yue Xingwen put them on.
In order to play a role, Yue Xingwen also tore a few holes in his clothes, put some dust on his face, and pretended to be a down-and-out child whose parents had died and had to go to a foreign land.
Lin Manluo glanced at him and whispered, "Like a little beggar."
Yue Xingwen smiled and said, "It's more realistic to run all the way to go to my cousin."
After disguising, Zhuo Feng took Yue Xingwen to the guard's residence, planning to hide in the palace first, and find a chance to see Princess Qin tomorrow.
The two had just passed the corridor when they suddenly heard steady footsteps behind them. Yue Xingwen subconsciously wanted to hide in the shadows, but heard a low voice in his ears: "Stop."
Zhuo Feng and Yue Xingwen looked at each other and stopped helplessly.
The man walked behind the two of them and asked, "What are you two doing sneakily?"
Zhuo Feng smiled dryly: "We are just in a hurry and go to the toilet together."
The man said sharply, "Turn around."
Zhuo Feng and Yue Xingwen turned around stiffly, Yue Xingwen lowered his head and pretended to be submissive. The man raised Yue Xingwen's chin and looked at it carefully for a moment: "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you?"
Just as Yue Xingwen was about to speak, he heard a low and calm voice beside him: "He's the new guard from the palace, okay, you go patrol elsewhere, I'll deal with it here."
The man immediately took a step back respectfully: "Yes, General!"
Yue Xingwen looked up and met a pair of familiar eyes.
- Jiang Pingce!
He was wearing black armor, holding a long sword in his hand, tall and slender, with this dress, and Jiang Pingce's usual serious and indifferent expression, the man in front of him really looked handsome, tall and imposing.
However, his originally indifferent gaze became gentle after meeting Yue Xingwen's clear eyes, and a smile even appeared on the corner of his lips.
Great, Pingce is also in this time and space! Yue Xingwen couldn't help but smile, and the two looked at each other, ignoring Zhuo Feng on the side.
Zhuo Feng: "Cough cough."
Jiang Pingce regained his senses, looked at Zhuo Feng, and said in a low voice, "Come with me."
The two followed behind him, walking through several corridors in a row, and came to a place similar to a "secret room". Jiang Pingce put down the long sword in his hand and looked back at Yue Xingwen with gentle eyes: "How come you are so down? Has the library assigned you the identity of a little beggar?"
Yue Xingwen reluctantly patted the torn sleeve: "I had to disguise myself in order to sneak into the Qin palace."
He looked at Jiang Pingce's majestic armor and asked curiously, "What is your identity?"
Jiang Pingce said: "General Qin Wangfu is also the leader of Li Shimin's personal guards and Yulin Army."
