Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 146: The Ingenious Strategy to Dispel Martial Arts (2)

At the end of Xu time, the night was getting dark, and everything was silent, except for unknown insects humming from time to time in the weeds. The clouds in the sky were thick, blocking the brilliance of the new moon, and the earth was dead. It is pitch black, even the most resplendent imperial city, is now pitch black, only the lanterns in the hands of the soldiers patrolling on the city wall are shining faintly in the dark night, but this kind of light not only fails to dispel the darkness , but instead set off the night a bit darker.

The imperial city has been the most heavily guarded place in the world since ancient times, and the Taiji Palace is no exception. Although the world has been peaceful for a long time, the guards of the palace ban have never relaxed, although they are not as strict as three steps, one whistle, five steps and one post. It is an exaggeration, but there are a lot of soldiers patrolling the walls of the city, except for one place, that is around the west gate, because inside the west gate is the Yeting Palace where the maids and eunuchs live, and during the day, due to defense Because of the maids and eunuchs entraining the place, the guards here are extremely strict, but at night, when the keys of the palace gates are opened everywhere, Yeting Palace becomes a dead city, separated by high walls on all sides, and it is difficult for birds to cross. In other words, the eunuchs and eunuchs living in the Yeting Palace are generally poor people. As for the eunuchs and eunuchs with official titles, they basically live in the inner palace, so there is no need for care here. Yes, the defense is naturally far less tight than other places. Of course, there are still not too few guards, there are hundreds of them, but it is really not too many if they are just one point on the huge four walls. Well, at least compared to other places, it is a bit worse than the boss. Even so, the tight defense is not comparable to other places, but, in the eyes of real masters, this defense is really loose Very well, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is full of flaws. There is no doubt that Yu Jizi is such a master.

"Bah, bad luck!"

At this time, Yujizi was wearing black night clothes, except for his eyes, his head was completely wrapped in the hood. Needless to say, he was stuffy, and Yujizi was even more troubled. The most important thing is the big package on his back, it's one thing to be heavy, but for Yujizi, this weight is really not a big deal, but the things inside make Yujizi very angry. Thinking of those little furry things sticking to his back one by one, Yu Jizi couldn't help but feel crooked for a while, and couldn't help cursing in a low voice, but the cursing came after him. In terms of action, Yujizi was not ambiguous at all. Taking advantage of the moment when a patrol patrol on the top of the city had just passed by, Yujizi's figure flashed, and his whole body fell from the roof to the ground like a fallen leaf. During the ups and downs, like a civet, it sprinted across the small square in front of the palace gate, and stuck to the root of the imperial city.

"Dang bang"

Yu Jizi, who was close to the city wall, turned his head to listen to the movement on the city wall, then took out a flying claw from his arms, swung it a few times, and waved it hard, the flying claw soared into the sky. After a crisp sound, It has been buckled on the city plate, but seeing Yujizi's figure move, his hands are interlaced, and his feet are pedaling together, he has climbed up to the top of the city like walking on the ground. After a few ups and downs, he has disappeared. In the pitch-black Ye Ting Palace... It was five o'clock in the afternoon, and the night was already very deep, but Li Xian didn't feel sleepy at all. He paced back and forth in the study irritably, completely losing his usual calm demeanor. Just because tonight's action is really too important, no matter how confident Li Xian is in Yu Jizi's ability, he can't guarantee that this action will not go wrong. Now, once Yu Jizi made a slight mistake in his actions, even if he could escape with his extraordinary skills, Li Xian's plan would inevitably end in complete failure. If so, the serious consequences would not be Li Xian's Li Xian could afford to take such a huge risk, but he couldn't and couldn't avoid it. Now, all he can do is "wait".

Li Xian's plan is actually not complicated, it boils down to a "strange" word - Empress Wu is extremely sensitive to cats, and it can even be said that she has an unforgettable sense of fear, which originated from Concubine Xiao Shu's poisonous oath before her death ——"Awu is so cunning, even to this point! May he give birth to me as a cat, and Awu as a mouse, and choke his throat." Therefore, since the sixth year of Yonghui, Empress Wu has ordered that cats be banned in the palace. It can be said that others are not allowed to mention the word "cat". Li Xian's plan is based on this, as long as the cat can appear in the palace without anyone noticing, and with some public opinion guidance, Since I don't worry about Empress Wu being suspicious, Empress Wu probably has no choice but to stay away from Luoyang. Of course, it is not easy to achieve such an effect. The first thing is that the appearance of the cat must be traceable, and besides Yujizi, Li Xianshi couldn't think of a second safe way-it's not that Li Xian didn't think of other ways, in fact, just In terms of the manpower that Li Xian currently arranged in the palace, it is not difficult to secretly transport the cat into the palace, but the difficulty is that it is impossible to hide it from Empress Wu's subsequent investigation - Empress Wu is suspicious and cautious by nature. Appearing in the palace, Empress Wu will definitely order a thorough investigation. As far as Empress Wu's power in the palace is concerned, even if there is only a little bit of clues about what Li Xian did, I am afraid that it is impossible to escape the possibility of being found out. Sorry!

Why haven't you come back yet?Nothing will happen?Seeing that the hourglass of timekeeping was about to bottom out, Li Xian's already restless heart couldn't help becoming more annoyed, but now, Li Xian has no other choice but to wait, the problem It's just that the feeling of waiting is really uncomfortable, even though Li Xiancheng's family is deep, but he is also suffocated and his face is extremely ugly.

"Brother, you are back, have you ever encountered any danger?"

Just when Li Xian was upset, there was a flash of a figure in the study, and Yu Jizi with a tired face appeared in the room. Li Xian's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried to meet him, and asked a question with concern.

"Fortunately, I can't die. Next time your Highness wants to do something like this, let's do it by ourselves."

Hearing that Li Xian didn't ask the result first, but asked about his own safety first, Yu Jizi couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, but he didn't express any politeness in his mouth, rolled his eyes, and replied angrily.

"Ha, it's a lot of work for those who are able, senior brother, but I can rely entirely on you."

Hearing what Yujizi said, Li Xian knew that the matter was done, and he was in a good mood, so he laughed and teased Yujizi, until Yujizi rolled his eyes wildly.

"Hahaha..." Upon seeing Yujizi's appearance, Li Xian couldn't help laughing out loud, clapped his hands together, and shouted in a raised voice, "Come here!"

"The servant is here."

As soon as Li Xian finished speaking, Gao Miao, who had already been waiting outside the study, rushed into the room in a hurry, and bowed to answer.

"Pass on the king's order, let's start!"

Li Xian's face darkened, and he gave the order in a cold voice, his tone full of murderousness... "Say, what's going on?"

In the dormitory of Yide Palace, Empress Wu sat on the brocade pier with a gloomy face, angrily looking at a group of eunuchs, big and small, who were standing in front of them, clenching her teeth, and squeezed out the cold blood from between her teeth. In a word, the pair of phoenix eyes are full of undisguised murderous intent, completely missing the dignified posture shown in the past. Empress Wu was annoyed by the inexplicable appearance of a group of wild cats in the palace, but before she ordered them to be culled, countless cats appeared in the palace. The rumors, saying everything, vaguely pointed the finger at Concubine Xiao Shu who had already been turned into ashes, which violated Empress Wu's taboo, and Empress Wu couldn't help but become angry from embarrassment.

"Yan Desheng, tell me first!"

When Empress Wu got angry, all the eunuchs, big and small, were trembling with fright. No one dared to touch Empress Wu's brow at this moment. Directly clicked Yan Desheng's name.

"Hui, Hui Niang, my servant has checked the people and things that have been banned in and out of the palace for the past few days, and I have never found anything strange. This servant is incompetent, this servant deserves to die, this servant..." After listening to Wu, he was the first to point to himself, Yan Desheng My heart immediately panicked, and I hurriedly lowered my bowed body a little more, and said in a loud voice.

"Trash! Gao Hesheng, what happened to the matter I asked you to investigate?"

Empress Wu waved her hand angrily, interrupted Yan Desheng's nonsense, cast her gaze on the eunuch Gao Hesheng, and asked angrily.

"Returning to your mother, the servants have already caught a group of low-level people who spread rumors indiscriminately, and killed a few of them. I forgive those stupid people for not having the courage to make trouble again." Gao Hesheng is obviously a bit smarter than Yan Desheng. Empress Wu spoke, and hurriedly reported her "results".

"I don't want to hear these nonsense, say, where does the source come from?"

Gao Hesheng spoke with great confidence, but it was a pity that Empress Wu was not fooled, and pointed at the core angrily.

"Your Majesty, please calm down, the servant wants to order a thorough investigation, but, just..."

Gao Hesheng is an old, treacherous and cunning person. Seeing that He Sini could not be fooled by him, he immediately put on a look of extreme embarrassment, and said something halfway.

"Ok?"

Seeing Gao Hesheng's attitude, Empress Wu's expression became even worse in an instant, and she let out a cold snort from her nostrils.

"Your Majesty, the slaves have actually ordered the whole palace to conduct a thorough investigation, but they are afraid that the commotion will become louder. If His Majesty asks, then..." Seeing that Empress Wu was still clinging to the fundamental problem, Gao Hesheng's face turned pale. Immediately, he showed a helpless look, and replied hesitantly.

"Well."

Empress Wu glanced at Gao Hesheng coldly, and snorted again from her nostrils, but the meaning was completely different. Not only did she stop asking questions, but she raised her hand, and all the eunuchs were screened back, and then , Alone with a restless expression, he started to stay...
