Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 115: Fresh and Refined
On Tiantai Mountain, Jiucheng Palace.

Li Shimin enthusiastically led his wife around Dabao Hall, Danxiao Hall, Xianheng Hall, Yurong Hall, Paiyun Hall, and finally

After staying in the dressing room, Jiucheng Palace Supervisor offered two bowls of soup and cakes.

All are special meals in Linyou County.

The slender stick-shaped one is called Hele, also known as Heleu, and it is made of pressed sweet buckwheat noodles, poured with rich mutton soup, and seasoned with dogwood, mustard, minced garlic, mustard greens, green onion leaves, etc. according to personal taste. What the queen eats.

The blood-red soup cakes are called blood strip soup cakes. The pig's blood or sheep's blood that is not coagulated is mixed with three kinds of wheat noodles, kneaded, rolled, and steamed. The dishes are carrots, garlic sprouts, yellow flowers, fungus, and tofu. Chopped and fried After it was cooked, cut the spread egg pancakes into diamond shapes, and added the stir-fried saozi. It was delicious, and Li Shimin sipped two bowls.

Empress Changsun didn't eat bloody soup cakes because she was weak and sick when she was a child. Aye named her Guanyin Maid, which meant that she was given the maidservant of Guanyin and begged Guanyin to bless her when she grew up.

She is not a monk, and the empress can eat some meat, but she is a vegetarian on fasting days, and she is only a little resistant to blood and other foods.

At sunset, 330 snare drums sounded.

When marching in the field, rise up when you hear the horn, and rest when you hear the drum, 330 hammers and drums make one pass.

The sound of insects was faint, and the entire Jiucheng Palace fell into silence.

The Yiweis are not guarded by a group of [-]% palaces, but stationed in layers.

Fan Sheng led a regiment of Zuo Xiaowei, stationed outside the Great Treasure Hall, serving as the fourth layer of defense, not far from the emperor.

Fan Sheng remembered Fan Zheng's reminder, and conscientiously searched for every loophole, sent people to block a sidewalk, and arranged for each person in a fixed position to supervise each other.

With the palace wall as proof and the trees as barriers, Zuo Xiaowei all put on wooden spears, with longbows on their shoulders, crossbows drawn and stringed, and a complete set of infantry armor on their bodies, creating a chilling atmosphere.

The Yiweis still have a little complaint in their hearts, a forty-pound armor is heavy.

With the passage of time, everyone will inevitably slack off. Presumably there will be some unsightly people who come to commit crimes, right?

However, Fan Sheng held a mallet as a needle, You Yi (scout) sent two groups out, and Di Ting also arranged for three people.

To listen to is to choose a few people who are less sleepy and sleep on the hollow small skin drum (hu), so that early warning can be given.

As for the "Taibai Yin Jing", it can be heard for [-] miles, and it probably contains moisture. It's so powerful, why do you play night raids?
Fan Sheng gave the order to die, but he was not allowed to move around without the order.

It was dark at the first watch, almost only the sound of insects at the second watch, and the eyelids began to drop at the third watch.

One listened to his ears move, and tugged Fan Sheng's arm.

Indistinctly, dozens of figures broke into Zuo Xiaowei's defense area from the sidewalk, seeming to be familiar with the terrain, relying on trees from time to time.

"shoot!"

A roar, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, woke up the sleeping Tiantai Mountain. Nearly a hundred bows and crossbows were unleashed. Although the night had reduced the hit rate, it still caused many black shadows in front to fall down. In the ear of the right Xiaowei.

"Why did someone break through the defenses of our left and right guards, but Yi Wei didn't know anything about it?"

The three lines of defense in front are useless, is that okay?

Wearing armor, holding guns and shields, and lighting pine oil torches, the Zuo Tunwei of the third line of defense, led by Li Anyan, the general of Zhonglang, marched towards the mountain, vaguely outflanking.

After a Turkic word, the black shadows opened their bows and released their arrows. Even the darkness did not affect their aim, and more than twenty arrows shot at Zuo Xiaowei and Yiwei.

With a clanging sound, Yiwei, who was hit by the arrow, blocked the arrow with his armor, and could still feel the tremendous strength contained in the arrow.

If it hadn't been for Zhong Lang insisting on them wearing this infantry armor, maybe it's time for the family to have a feast.

Zuo Tunwei's torch faintly illuminated the criminal, and the truth became clear instantly.

It's not that Zuo Tunwei and others are incompetent, the thief is one of his followers, and Zhong Lang will form Ashina into an association.

Ashina assembled more than forty Turkic people, surrounded Beiping County King Ashina Heluofalcon, bypassed the front line of defense, and attacked and assassinated Li Shimin.

Once Tian Khan died, they could return to the grasslands, no longer afraid of the Tang Dynasty, and maybe they could reappear the glory of the Turks.

However, no one expected that Fan Sheng would be ready to fight here, making it look like they were giving military merit to Zuo Xiaowei, and twenty or so crossbow arrows were extinguished in one wave.

Fan Sheng appeared, the first infantryman lowered his armor, swung his wooden spears, and the Yiwei formed their own formations to kill the Turkic people.

The spear was like a swimming dragon, easily piercing the leather armor of the Turkic people, provoking one by one Turkic people, accompanied by a shocking "kill", which made Ashina's association burst.

Stretching out his hand and grabbing Ashina Heluofalcon, the blade rested on his neck, Ashina gangster roared hysterically: "Let me go! Otherwise I will kill your Beiping County King!"

Ashina Heluofalcon was shocked: "Uncle! I am your nephew!"

Ashina yelled: "Bullshit nephew! From the day Ashina Shibobi sent me to Chang'an as a hostage, he has been my mortal enemy! Do you think that even if the assassination is successful, I will let you return to Turkic alive? ?”

It was the first time Ashina Heluo Falcon knew that people's hearts were so sinister, and he couldn't help weeping: "Your Majesty! Help me! I'm being held hostage! I beg Your Majesty to remember my late father and save me!"

Fan Sheng hesitated slightly, but the raised wooden spear couldn't stab it.

Rat bogeyman.

It is not a pity for Ashina to form an association and die, but Ashina Heluofalcon is the king of Beiping County and the Khan of the Turks!

In the direction of the Great Treasure Hall, the lights were brightly lit, and Li Shimin, holding a big bow and wearing armor, appeared majestically!

"Let them go!"

Li Shimin ordered.

Under Li Anyan's command, Zuo Tunwei reluctantly gave way, and Ashina held his nephew and staggered down the mountain.

Thinking too simple, with too little knowledge, Ashina knew for the first time that the guards around Tian Khan were so strict, he didn't even know that Zuo Xiaowei had clothed his pockets!

Damn it, since then there is no chance to get close to Tian Khan.

There was a sharp howling sound, and before Ashina even had time to react, there was a sharp pain in his right shoulder, and the knife in his hand could no longer be held, and fell to the ground. Ashina Herofalcon took the opportunity to bite his arm, and bit him down violently. The meat comes.

Zuo Tunwei rushed forward and tied up all the uncles and nephews.

Behind the Great Treasure Hall, Empress Changsun turned out wearing a fur coat, her eyes showed admiration: "Erlang's arrow technique is still as sharp as when he shot tigers and leopards back then."

Li Shimin retracted his bow, and laughed: "No way, step back. I originally aimed for the back of my heart with this arrow, and wanted to kill him with one blow, but in the end it was a little crooked."

Empress Changsun said with a smile: "It's pretty good. To be able to save the life of Ashina Heluofalcon can be regarded as an explanation to Ashina Shibobi."

I just like the fresh and refined appearance of Erlang's bragging!
