Man Tang Huacai

Chapter 214 Eternal Love

Chang'an, Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

"What do these memorials mean? The drought is like this, and the imperial court ordered Yicang to do its best to provide relief. What else can these officials do?!"

"The public opinion in Hanoi... hopes that the saint can stop sealing Huashan."

Li Linfu frowned deeply, stood up, walked to the window, and looked up at the sky. But it was late at night, and he couldn't actually see anything.

In order to enshrine Mount Huashan, Wang Zhi is already digging the road to Mount Huashan and wants to build an altar on the top of Mount Huashan. This may take several years. In recent years, droughts have continued, and people have complained a lot.

Before leaving Chang'an, the saint had already prayed for rain in Longtang. Those famous Taoists were sure that the drought in Hanoi would be alleviated. As a result, the saint's authority was greatly damaged.

After a while, Li Linfu asked: "Is the public resentment serious?"

"Hui Xiang, it's not big, it's just a small fight, and it's been taken advantage of by someone with intentions."

"Withhold all the discounts on the suspension of the sealing of Huashan." Li Linfu ordered: "For the rest, just remember 'Yong, Huai, and Tongjiuzhou drought'."

"Here."

Compared with other major issues that the prime minister is dealing with, this drought is just a small matter. Not many people died in the total, probably less than one percent of the number of casualties in Shibao City.

The notes on this trivial matter were quickly put away, and Li Linfu began to work on other more important matters.

Today, under his management, the Tang Dynasty is still in peace and prosperity.

~~

Lishan, Huaqing Palace.

"This play is so well sung! The sound stops the moving clouds, and is appreciated by both refined and popular people."

Li Longji clapped his hands in approval.

Taking advantage of the gap between the two parts of the play, he pointed at Fa Hai on the stage and said: "This role is well chosen, very impressive."

His voice was clear and clear, and the surrounding ministers heard it and agreed.

Wang Zhun was also very happy, and said with an apologetic smile: "I never thought that there are such talented people in Jifang Dianyin who are so good at singing... By the way, it was also Zhaoying Weida Xifu who wanted to do things for the saint, so he mentioned it to me. This matter."

He did not forget to repay Da Xi Fu.

"You should be rewarded." Li Longji was very generous. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "After this show, you all should be rewarded."

At this time, the next stage of the play has begun. The monarchs and ministers stopped chatting and concentrated on watching the play.

By this time, Yang Yuhuan was completely intoxicated and crying every word.

"Xu Lang and I have pledged to each other as mandarin ducks, and we will never betray each other. How can we be willing to be separated as husband and wife? I hope Zen Master will be so kind to us, and we will tie a grass ring and never forget each other."

Seeing this scene, Li Longji temporarily forgot that it was in a play, and felt pity and emotion.

Fa Hai raised his hand and pointed, and let out a loud scream.

"Beast!"

A eunuch dared to scold a noble concubine. Everyone watching the play was shocked, and Li Longji was also furious.

But Yang Yujue was still crying, and everyone was still immersed in the atmosphere of the opera.

Fahai turned around, walked around, and continued singing.

"How can a demon be as good as a Luanhuang? I advise you to return to Mount Emei as soon as possible. If you dare to wander into the human world again...ah! I will teach you in a moment..."

At the end of the song, he sang the tune for an extremely long time, his body turned faster and faster, and his voice became higher and trembling.

This high-pitched singing seemed to lift everyone's hearts, and they followed him, waiting for his momentum to explode.

Finally, the burly body stopped, steadied himself, and uttered two earth-shattering words.

"Death!"

I will teach you to die instantly!

In an instant, an object was suddenly taken out from the wide cassock.

It turned out to be a crossbow.

It was a small hand crossbow, not the standard crossbow in the military. It was a privately made hunting crossbow similar to one used to kill watchdogs. It could just be hidden in a cassock.

At this time, the crossbow was pointed at Li Longji.

"Escort!"

Gao Lishi did not hesitate and stood in front of Li Longji.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

Suddenly the sound of a horn sounded on Lishan Mountain, piercing the gorgeous night, and the cry of killing was heard from the southwest corner of the palace city.

Those seemingly well-guarded guards became a joke at this moment, at a loss and in a mess. Only Chen Xuanli remained calm and pushed the young eunuch closest to him in front of the saint.

"puff."

Even closer to the stage, a palace lady was leaning over to light incense to repel mosquitoes for the saint.

The crossbow arrow pierced her body and spattered blood, although it did not kill her. But since this kind of crossbow is not very powerful and has a short range, the arrows must be poisonous.

"what!"

The maids ran away in fear and knocked over the lampstand.

"Don't rush into His Majesty."

Chen Xuanli had rushed to Li Longji's side, protecting the saint and quickly retreating. At the same time, he drew his sword in his hand and yelled at Gong'e and the eunuch not to come near.

With his sharp eyes, he had spotted more than twenty figures rushing towards this side from the Li hillside, but he didn't know how many rebels there were.

"Don't collide with His Majesty!"

Chaos had arisen, and a frightened Gong E rushed to Li Longji's vicinity. Chen Xuanli immediately struck her with a knife, knocking her to the ground.

"Escort! Let's go!"

"Quickly, open the Wangjing Gate and let His Majesty return to the inner palace!"

~~

Liu Hua shot the first crossbow arrow and saw that he missed Li Longji. He was very disappointed, but he did not have too many regrets. There was only a look of determination on his face.

In fact, he also knew that the probability of success of the killer move that he painstakingly arranged was very low. The crossbow arrows that could be hidden in the cassock were too small. He had to put on the costume tonight to have a chance to get them. He didn't know where the throne in the stands would be before... Everything seemed to be resigned to fate, and he even said that he was here to take the initiative to die. .

But it doesn't matter, as long as it can pave the way for the brothers.

Liu Hua calmly loaded the crossbow and strode forward, hoping to have another chance to shoot Li Longji.

But just after loading it, he took a closer look and saw that the saint was surrounded and protected by the Longwu Army and quickly disappeared from his sight.

"run?!"

Liu Hua was furious, glared fiercely in the direction of Li Longji's escape, raised his crossbow, and pointed it at Yang Yuhuan.

"Li Longji, you don't want your beloved concubine anymore? Li Longji?!"

"Hunjun! You ran away so fast, don't you want your woman?!"

He only asked twice before grabbing the crossbow.

"Whoosh."

As the crossbow arrows shot out, someone hit him hard, knocking the crossbow in his hand to the ground.

Liu Hua felt a pain in his shoulder. When he looked back, he saw that Xue Bai had pounced on him. He put his hands around his head and pushed him down. At the same time, he raised his knees. His knees pushed up hard and hit him hard on the bridge of his nose. Broken nose.

"what!"

This young man looks elegant, but his legs are long and strong. This blow hit Liu Hua so hard that stars popped out of his eyes. He pushed hard under the severe pain, grabbed Xue Bai's neck, and wanted to strangle him to death.

Xue Bai raised his knees and struck hard again, directly attacking Liu Hua's weak spot, but Liu Hua was already an eunuch, so he strangled him by the neck, pushed him to the ground, and smashed his head on the ground.

"Boom."

Xue Bai was in pain and poked Liu Hua's eye socket with his finger.

His fingertips dug into the round eyeballs, and he pressed them directly.

"what!"

"Boom."

There was a muffled sound, but it was Xie Aman who raised Fa Hai's Zen staff with both hands and gave Liu Hua a sharp blow.

"Let go!"

Xie Aman screamed, as if he was afraid that Xue Bai's head, which could write poetry, would be smashed, so he smashed it again.

Liu Hua couldn't help but let go of his hand, and Xue Bai immediately broke free, punched Liu Hua, kicked him hard, and used the opportunity to get up.

"Kill the faint king!"

Suddenly I heard shouts from behind the stage.

Xue Bai looked again and saw that the imperial chariot had long since disappeared, and the dignitaries in the stands were rushing towards Wangjing Gate.

"go!"

He pushed Xie Aman, took the Zen staff in her hand, turned around and knocked Liu Hua to the ground.

"run!"

"Oh."

Xie Aman ran quite fast, swinging his arms like a butterfly, and ran down the stage.

Xue Bai looked back and saw a group of people rushing down from Lishan Mountain and colliding with the guards. As for the rest, apart from the horn whimpering, I haven’t seen much rebellion yet.

He couldn't help but his eyes flickered slightly, judging that this was an immature assassination, and the number of people was not large.

But it still caused a very chaotic scene.

"Rising from the east with a golden sword in hand, Liu's lucky master!"

"There is no rain, Shakyamuni Buddha has died, and a new Buddha has emerged. The Li family is about to die, and the Liu family is about to flourish!"

"..."

Upon hearing these shouts, Xue Bai lost interest and turned around to leave.

The stage is on the water, separated from the stands by the water of Furong Pond. After getting off the stage from the rear, you have to go around the Furong Pond to run to the stands and then to Wangjing City.

In front, Xu Hezi was pulling Yang Yuhuan and running after the musicians.

Xue Bai then strode over.

He was very surprised.

In his memory, he did not know that there was such a rebellion or assassination during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty... So, where did the mistake go?

Is it because "The Legend of White Snake" has been arranged, giving these people an opportunity? Or did the work of repairing books and running newspapers bring a greater burden to the people of the time?

Xue Bai thought about this all the way, catching up with the musicians and actors in front, and followed the crowd to Wangjing Gate.

Soon, the front became crowded and howls sounded.

"Miyagi is closed!"

"Come on."

Wangjing Gate is the gate of the inner palace. At this time, the guards holding halberds and torches on the palace wall are heavily guarded.

"No one is allowed to trespass within the restricted area, retreat!"

"The imperial concubine is still outside the door!" Suddenly a palace lady shouted.

"You are not allowed to trespass within the forbidden area, retreat!"

Xue Bai frowned and looked over there where the fighting was still going on, feeling faintly uneasy.

There's no way those Miyagi guards can't stop a few rebels, right?

He quickly found Xie Aman and told him: "Go to the court hall. There are guards there. Let them prepare in advance to protect the noble concubine and the minister."

"Oh."

Xie Aman ran away quickly.

Xue Bai then turned around and shouted: "Go to the main hall of the court! Go to the main hall if you want to survive!"

He pushed aside the crowd and looked for Yang Yuhuan.

She is his biggest supporter now. If she dies, his future will be over. Some of the people who crowded in front of Wangjing Gate were unwilling to give in and shouted: "The imperial concubine is still outside the forbidden area. If anything happens, can you afford it?!"

"General Chen has an order to seal the palace gates! Search for monsters and thieves!"

"..."

The stage suddenly caught fire.

The lanterns in other places have gradually been extinguished.

There were footsteps in the southwest, and several figures of running guards appeared in the night.

Whether it was the defeated guards or the rebellious guards pretending to be guards, the situation was obviously not right.

"Run!"

"Whoosh."

A few scattered bows and arrows shot out of the darkness, knocking down several actors and frightening the people gathered outside the palace gate to scatter.

"The imperial concubine is still outside the palace gate..."

The minister, who was hoping that the saint would open the city gate, shouted for half his voice at last, then ran toward the main hall with his head in his hands.

That's to the north.

Lishan Mountain is in the south. Generally speaking, demon thieves come from Lishan Mountain, so the farther north they run, the safer they are.

However, there were already shouts of killing ahead.

"Killing one more is one!"

"It's better to capture the imperial concubine!"

The rebels who rushed over were wearing armor and holding single swords, and they slashed at everyone they saw. They were obviously deliberately creating chaos.

Several bodies had fallen on the ground, and the injured kept screaming...

~~

"Concubine, it's time to go."

In the chaos, Xu Hezi was so anxious that he burst into tears, and whispered to Yang Yuhuan.

At this time, they were in front of Wangjing Gate, and they were just a little short of returning to the inner palace.

Yang Yuhuan was looking up at the palace gate, looking a little confused, and he didn't know whether his eyes were disappointed or understanding.

"Walk."

Xu Hezi didn't wait for Yang Yuhuan to answer, and called a group of eunuchs to protect the concubine towards the main hall.

suddenly.

"Where is Concubine Yang!"

"Whoosh."

"Whoosh."

Two arrows were shot in succession, and the crowd immediately became chaotic.

Ahead, a big man dressed as a guard rushed towards us like a tiger pouncing on prey, slashing with a knife.

While Xu Hezi was still running away, the blood of a palace maid not far away splashed on her face. She was so frightened that she stood there and watched helplessly as the evil man rushed towards her.

"Oh!"

A Zen staff flew out of nowhere and hit the evil man in the face.

Someone reached out and pulled Xu Hezi, pulling her away.

"This way."

"you……"

"Silence."

Xue Bai let go of his hand and urged Yang Yuhuan and Xu Hezi to leave.

As he walked, he casually pulled off a piece of colorful silk and wrapped it around Yang Yuhuan.

"This way."

He took them and ran towards Lishan Mountain in the south.

The outer palace was not an open space, but there were flowers, trees, courtyards, and palaces. They fled into a bamboo garden, and then fled to a dark place.

Xue Bai's thinking was completely different from what they subconsciously did.

They always run to brightly lit places and crowded places, hoping to find shelter. But in this case, the chaos is much more terrifying than the traitors themselves. The more people there are, the less they can protect them.

But there are still rebels chasing them.

"Concubine Yang ran over there!"

"Chase!"

……

Running south from Wangjingmen, the closer you get to Lishan Mountain, the higher the terrain becomes.

Around the bamboo garden is the Pink Plum Altar. Some noble officials have already taken refuge in the altar and are ordering the imperial guards to protect them.

Xue Bai glanced at the light and did not go there because it was more dangerous there.

The traitor only has a small number of people and a small amount of time, so he can just lead Yang Yuhuan to escape the initial pursuit.

To the south of the Pink Plum Altar is a plum forest. The plum blossoms have not yet bloomed, but the surrounding trees are shaded.

"over there!"

Xue Bai couldn't help but be confused when he heard someone chasing after him again. He had run away into the darkest darkness. Even these traitors couldn't see him, but how did he catch up with him so accurately?

He sniffed and realized why.

fragrance.

Xu Hezi doesn't use incense, but Yang Yuhuan has a scent that never dissipates. It smells like musk, but smells better than musk. After smelling it for a long time, it makes people feel faintly.

"Did you bring the sachet?" Xue Bai asked in a low voice, "Throw it away."

"no no."

"What kind of fragrance is that?"

"There is no Peixiang..."

Yang Yuhuan was dragged away and didn't know what to say.

In order to stay young forever, she used a lot of musk for many years and applied it to her belly button every night. The scent was not easily dissipated. On the contrary, the more she ran, the more she sweated slightly, and the more fragrant she became.

"You guys run forward and run separately." Xue Bai said, "If you can't run anymore, hide behind the tree."

"I protect the noble concubine."

Xu Hezi also wanted to win over Yang Yuhuan.

Xue Bai ordered in a tone that could not be criticized: "You go to Zhaoyang Gate. When the saint is safe, he will think of the imperial concubine. You go find someone to save you. Go..."

Yang Yuhuan didn't understand this sentence at first.

In panic, she hugged her dress and ran for a while, until finally she couldn't run anymore and hid behind a tree.

After a while, the words "When the saint is safe, he will think of the imperial concubine" echoed in her ears again.

In an emergency, Xue Bai told the truth.

Not long ago, she was a royal concubine who was admired by all the stars and had countless people fawning over her. How could one have imagined that she would be the first to be left behind in a slight accident?

If it were to be done over again, it might still be unbelievable.

The darkness around her made her suddenly want to cry.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound nearby, which was the sound of fallen leaves being stepped on.

Someone is chasing this way.

Yang Yuhuan was very scared. She subconsciously crossed her arms to her chest and tried her best to shrink herself. She wished she could hide in the ground, but she could feel that the man was still pushing in little by little.

Xue Bai seemed to have escaped as well.

He is not a guard, and he is still young, so there is no reason to protect her all the time.

Only Yang Yuhuan was left in the darkness, and the murderous aura that was getting closer and closer.

Frightened and helpless, she felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat and she wanted to scream.

"尻!"

The next moment, there were angry shouts from behind, followed by the sounds of fighting.

Yang Yuhuan stuck his head out and looked out. He could still see the fire in the distance, but there was darkness in the woods.

The moonlight shines through the gaps between the trees, and occasionally the cold light of the knife can be seen flashing by.

Two men were fighting for the knife, fighting like wild animals, breathing heavily and groaning angrily.

Yang Yuhuan stood up, pulled out a hairpin from her head, and wanted to help Xue Bai, but it was too dark and she couldn't see clearly, and she didn't know how to start.

"Xue...Xue Bai?"

Gradually, one of the two men on the ground stopped making any movement.

The other person stood up slowly.

This process was the most terrifying. Yang Yuhuan couldn't see clearly who was standing up, and could only hear his beastly breathing.

She was so frightened that she put the hairpin on her neck.

Until the other person finally spoke.

"Are you OK?."

"Xue Bai? Is it you? Xue Bai, you didn't leave... you didn't leave..."

"Ah."

"puff."

Xue Bai picked up the single knife and slashed several times at the corpse on the ground.

In this way, the smell of blood overshadowed the scent of Yang Yuhuan... There must not be many traitors who knew that they were looking for Concubine Yang after the scent. Only this person accidentally realized it.

"Let's go."

"Are you injured?" Yang Yuhuan asked. She could hear that his voice was a little weak and he was out of breath.

"A little bit, let's go first."

Xue Bai held a single sword in one hand and covered the wound with the other, walking slowly.

Fortunately, he knew that he didn't have to run any further. This small raid would soon be put down, and someone would naturally come to save Yang Guifei.

~~

Li Longji has sat down in the back hall of Huaqing Palace.

For him, not long had passed since the assassination.

That's just the rush back to the forbidden area from Furong Pond.

"Check, find out who is in charge."

"The minister obeys the order."

"In addition to Huaqing Palace, Zhaoying County must also be under control." Li Longji responded calmly with a gloomy face and said: "The man was recommended by Da Xifu. Zhaoying County defenders are prohibited from approaching."

Chen Xuanli responded again: "I obey your order."

"You did a good job, it's okay with me." Li Longji had to comfort the loyal general of the Guards with a few words.

After that, his face became serious and worried.

"Taizhen! Where is Taizhen? Go get her quickly..."

　I’m afraid you may think it’s too exaggerated, so I’ll tell you a little bit. There was Xing Wei's rebellion, Liu Zhan's rebellion more than ten years later, and there were also the Mao Jin Dao and the drought... I worked together to process the plot, and it was not entirely a matter of fabricating a chaos out of thin air~~ Today again It’s more than 1 words. Please vote for me. Please vote for me~
