The most powerful film and television lottery

Chapter 458 Chapter 461
Shen Mu said to Xu Ziling: "Listen to his tone, I don't know if he found us and pretended to be a fraud."

Xu Ziling smiled wryly: "It's hard to say, since he recovered, I find it hard to see his intentions."

Shen Mu said solemnly: "This is a decision about our life and death. It should not be chosen by me alone. What do the two elder brothers say?"

Shi Zhixuan definitely knew that there was a secret passage in the lower floor of the small building. If he knew that the three of them were hiding in the old tree, he would of course guess that the three of them were going to sneak into the Tang Palace through the secret passage. Solve three confidantes in one fell swoop.With Shi Zhixuan's intelligence and martial arts, it should be an easy task.

The current Tang Palace is waiting like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and the evil-killing team formed is ready to guard against Shi Zhixuan, and can quickly mobilize to deal with any intruders.

Hou Xibai looked around first, then lowered his voice and asked Xu Ziling, "Is Ziling feeling it?"

This question is reasonable, if Shi Zhixuan knew that they were hiding here, he would pretend to leave first, and then turn back to monitor their actions in the dark.

Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said, "I can't feel it, but my feeling may not be useful to you Master Shi. Don't forget that when I came to your amorous nest, I couldn't feel him spying in the dark."

Shen Mu analyzed: "How is it the same? That time he calculated with his mind that you didn't. It is understandable for you to be negligent for a while, but now you pay full attention. Hey! I have confidence in you!"

Xu Ziling said: "So! You are going to follow the plan."

Shen Mu resolutely said: "After entering the tunnel, we immediately closed the gate. With Shi Zhixuan's strength alone, it is impossible to open the tunnel through the cover. We just drilled through the exit at the other end to check the environment and figure out the location of the exit. , and then left immediately. Shi Zhixuan pretended not to know where the exit was, we shortened our stay, and Shi Zhixuan couldn’t play tricks if he wanted to. The Tang Palace is heavily guarded at this time, so it’s not so easy for him to enter the palace through the wall, right?”

Hou Xibai's spirit was greatly lifted when he heard it, he shook his head and said, "It makes sense! It makes sense!"

Shen Mu happily said: "It's two against one again, what does Young Master Ling say?"

Xu Ziling said with a smile: "I can't say no to you, let's see if I can buy it and sell it, come on!"

Under the refraction of the fire, Shen Mu began to survey the south wall of the tunnel, starting from the "false exit" and exploring back inch by inch.

Hou Xibai said to Xu Ziling who was standing beside him: "Will Shishi be so determined to attack Qingxuan because he wants to unify the holy sect?"

Xu Ziling sighed: "I don't know! I really don't know! I'm afraid your stone teacher still hasn't got a definite answer."

Shen Mu, who was touching and knocking out all the magic weapons facing the tunnel wall, heard the words: "What I am most worried about now is that your stone master will kill Ling Shao first, so from tonight, Ling Shao will not go to your amorous nest alone."

He said again: "Little Hou, you will be much safer. Before you clean up us, your stone master will never clean up you, so as not to scare the snake. Cough! Found it! This is a living wall. Damn it! This design is really tested. thought!"

The two moved closer to the wall that Shen Mu was pressing with both hands, Xu Ziling asked, "Is there a wall lock?"

Shen Mu smiled and said, "Do you think it was designed by Master Lu? Look at mine!"

With a push with both hands, one side of the six-foot-square wall tilted inward, and the other side turned inward, turning into a trap door, exposing the parallel tunnel inside.

The three of them looked at each other and were overjoyed, and they all had hard-won joy.

Shen Mu took the lead to enter, and the tunnel continued to extend eastward, passing the false exit for a thousand steps, and it was estimated that it would reach the heart of the outer imperial city, and then turn to the north.

The three walked thousands of steps, and the exit finally appeared in front of them. The design was the same as the entrance of the small building.

Shen Mu opened it carefully, and said with a smile, "I'm sure the exit is in the Tai Chi Palace, most likely near Li Yuan's bedroom."

Hou Xibai happily said: "Why bother thinking about it, just go out and have a look."

Shen Mu gave him a thumbs up and praised: "Good idea."

Shen Mu withdrew his protruding head from the exit, couldn't believe the shock in his eyes, gasped and said, "Go and see for yourself."

Xu Ziling and Hou Xibai hurried up the stone steps and looked out from the top of the steps.

Xu Ziling was startled and said, "My mother! It's actually in the middle of the Taiji Hall. I even compared it with Dazhi by stepping on the lid."

Hou Xibai glanced around, starlight and moonlight penetrated through the skylight close to the top door of the main hall, the door was closed tightly, and four octagonal palace lanterns were lit on the dragon seat at the north end, making one side of the main hall shrouded in a halo, and the other side from light to dark Go into darkness.He frowned and said, "It seems unreasonable to have to push the door to leave this exit."

Shen Mu nodded and said: "Yes! It is absolutely impossible to rely on the main entrance as the only way out. This heavy iron gate needs four or five strong men to push it, and the sound when it moves can wake up the entire Taiji Palace. Hey! I'm exaggerating. There must be a back door behind the Dragon Seat. That's where Li Yuan and his concubines entered the main hall for the New Year's Eve banquet. However, Taiji Palace is an important part of the imperial palace, and there must be guards outside the hall. Go out through the front door or the back door There is no way to avoid the guards. If my guess is correct, there should be another short tunnel leading to Li Yuan's bedroom."

Hou Xibai was surprised and said: "If you follow your method of scrutinizing inch by inch, you will never find another entrance to the tunnel in a few days."

Shen Mu sat down by the exit, pointed to his head and said with a smile: "If you are willing to use your brains, you can save a lot of time and effort. If there is a short tunnel leading to the bedroom, in order to save manpower, the tunnel entrance should be set at In the side of the hall that is closer to the bedroom, Li Yuan can also take a few steps less. I, Kou Xiaoshi, a direct disciple of Master Lu, is sure that the entrance is set at the dragon platform, most likely under the dragon seat, so that the search area can be greatly expanded. Zoom out."

Xu Ziling and Hou Xibai nodded in agreement, because Shen Mu's speculation was reasonable.

Seeing that the two agreed, Shen Mu jumped up and sprinted towards the white stone steps high on the Dragon Seat. The empty and vast hall, the awe-inspiring space is daunting.

Xu Ziling and Hou Xibai jumped out from the exit. Xu Ziling noticed the package on Hou Xibai's back and asked, "What's inside?"

Hou Xibai sat down cross-legged in the hall, untied the package and put it on the ground in front of him, said: "Shen Mu has something to do! Let's not waste time, let's allocate the means of livelihood properly first."

Xu Ziling understood, laughed and cursed: "Good fellow!" He sat cross-legged like him, and watched him unwrap the package.

Shen Mu over there is carrying out his "professional" deliberation and research on the target, and he is extremely busy.Just looking at the ingenious and ingenious design of the previous long tunnel, we know that the entrance of this short tunnel in the palace will not be easy to find.

Hou Xibai triumphantly dumped all the belongings in the package on the ground, and said with a smile: "I never dreamed that I would sit in the center of the Tai Chi Hall and distribute the tools for pretending to be a thief. This is yours, because you are Cao San, so Eighteen throwing knives and one more fang mask than ours."

Xu Ziling was not interested in Cao San's things at all, picked up the hook that Hou Xibai pushed to his knees, and said in surprise: "This is a rope made of thick tendon, and the hook is made of fine steel, obviously it's not temporary. What Zhang Luo returned. I wouldn’t be surprised if you have one set, but it’s beyond my expectation that there are as many as three sets.”

Hou Xibai smiled and said: "The City God is nearby and still doesn't know how to get a good lottery? This is carefully developed by Lei Ye, the true direct descendant of Master Lu. No need, as long as we work hard on the technique, we can move around the palace city like a pair of wings, which is not only convenient for thieves, but also can sneak away when necessary."

Xu Ziling pointed to three piles of round marbles that were as big as jujube pits and made of unknown objects, and said, "What the hell are these?"

Hou Xibai said: "This is not an ordinary incense bomb, but Cao San's famous unique self-defense magic weapon. It can not only fascinate the soul, but also produce a lot of dense fog. I got it from Cao San. I keep it as a souvenir. , unexpectedly came in handy, three per person. As long as you throw this bomb, especially in a closed indoor place, it can produce unexpected effects, and make people believe that you are really Cao San."

Xu Ziling doubted: "Such a small round bullet. How much smoke can it produce? Does Cao San use several bullets together?"

Hou Xibai said: "Originally there were ten of them, and I was as skeptical as you, try throwing one on the ground, if you tell me, you won't believe it, the thick smoke almost choked me to death, I won't exaggerate like Shen Mu. "

Xu Ziling said unhappily: "Looking at your outfit and hearing your tone, it seems that you don't want to come and see tonight."

Hou Xibai took out the scroll from his bosom, pushed aside other things to spread out the ground, suppressed the four corners with smoke bombs, and said with a smile: "This is the complete map of the palace city of the Tang Dynasty, refined by my younger brother in the past few days based on memory, every plant and every tree Nothing is missing, it is more detailed than the map of the palace in Liu Zhenghui's possession, with your two old brothers' photographic memory, you should read it several times and remember it in your heart. When you escape, you will be as familiar and convenient as walking around at home. Blank places are places I haven't been to yet."

Xu Ziling frowned and said, "You haven't answered my question just now."

"Crack"!
The sound coming from the direction of the dragon platform attracted the attention of the two of them. Following the sound, Shen Mu stood up from the removed dragon seat full of ambition, and gestured to the two of them that you're done.

The tunnel entrance under the dragon chair is the same design as the tunnel entrance of Yinfu Tonglai, except that there is no latch, but even a little skill can't open the entrance, so unless someone like Shen Mu has a heart, he can't even notice the existence of the entrance.

The secret path stretched straight to the north, and the three of them followed it straight to the harem, and only saw the exit.

This time they were much more careful. They tidied up their gear first, and hung hooks around their waists. Xu Ziling even hid Cao San’s throwing knife and mask. movement.

Under the expectation of the two, Xu Ziling murmured, "Outside should be a place like the imperial garden. I heard the sound of the wind blowing leaves."

Shen Mu happily said: "According to Xiaohou's detailed map of the Tang Palace, the above should be the imperial garden that separates the harem, Li Yuan's bedroom is on the right, and the concubines' courtyard is on the left. Lady Zhang's Ningbi Pavilion is one of the independent courtyards."

Datang Palace City is located at the northernmost part of the north-south central axis of Chang'an City.Miyagi is divided into two parts: the outer imperial city and the inner imperial palace, separated by a square.The imperial palace is further divided into three parts, Taiji Palace in the middle, Yeting Palace where Li Shimin Tiance Mansion is located in the west, and Crown Prince Donggong Palace in the east.

The core of the Taiji Palace is the Taiji Hall, followed by the Liangyi, Chengqing, Lizheng, and Shenlong Halls. After these four halls, to the north is the Imperial Garden and the living courtyard of the emperor's concubines.The Hougong Gate is the Xuanwu Gate, and there is a palace guard station, which is the headquarters of the imperial guards in the palace. There are heavy troops stationed there for a long time, responsible for the defense of the palace city.The backyard of the Imperial Palace is the most dangerous place in the Tang Palace. If something goes wrong, it will attract thousands of elite guards to encircle and suppress it.

Xu Ziling said: "I'm still a little vague about the real goal of tonight's visit to the Tang Palace. At one time, some people said it was to explore the way, and at another time, some people seemed to really want to show their strength."

Shen Mu smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you would let Cao San show his prestige? Young Master Ling doesn't need to look at me like that. I understand that it is absolutely unwise and crazy to disturb Li Yuan's damn evil team. So we just need to take advantage of it." Take away a treasure that is eye-catching, and then leave a swallow mark with the real swallow mark that Mr. Hou brought. If it is not enough, Ling Shao can write on the wall in your handwriting, "Cao San is here!" Swim' and other such sentences."

Hou Xibai excitedly said: "How can you go back empty-handed after entering Baoshan. It's better to just take the "Cold Forest and Qingyuan Picture" away, than wait for Li Yuan to call us Song Erye into the palace."

Xu Ziling winked at Shen Mu and spoke to him.

Shen Mu understood, patted Hou Xibai on the shoulder and said: "There are different things that are difficult, and tonight we will take the easy and give up the hard. Just explore Li Yuan's study, even if the treasured painting is really there, your son and uncle will have to look at it twice." Put it back where it was, and we'll go home and sleep together."

Hou Xibai was greatly astonished, and said disappointedly: "Is there any plan to hide it from me?"

Shen Mu said: "Don't worry too much, it's all for your own good! That's the decision. We will come and go quietly tonight, leaving only Cao San's traces, please get the instructions for turning off the fire."

The tunnel returns to the darkness where you can't see your fingers.

Under Shen Mu's ingenuity, the stone cover sank and moved sideways silently.

Shen Mu whispered: "This lid is very heavy."

The starry night sky appeared above the heads of the three of them.

Xu Ziling took a look and praised the ingenuity of the designer of the tunnel. The original exit was set in a fake stone mountain in the center of Dayu Pond at the core of the imperial garden. The exit was on a smooth slope. was found.

The three of them got out, closed the exit, and put on their hoods.

Xu Ziling said in a low voice: "There seems to be no one in the imperial garden. It may be that Li Yuan deliberately didn't set up patrols here for the convenience of entering and exiting."

Shen Mu took a deep breath of the cool night breeze, and said with a low smile, "The best tourist spot in Chang'an should be the Datang Palace. We are here for sightseeing, come on!"

Taking the lead, he rushed across the seven or eight zhang water surface, touched the stone fence beside the pool with his toes, jumped up and swept across, and landed on a branch of a big tree beside the pool.

Xu Ziling and Hou Xibai followed like shadows, chasing and looting.

Looking far away, Zhang Jieyu's Ningbi Pavilion is still brightly lit, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras can be heard faintly.

Whether it is the residence of the concubines or the harem of Li Yuan, there are courtyard pavilions surrounded by corridors one after another, each separated by a high wall from the continuous building group and the imperial garden in the middle.At this time, except for Ningbi Pavilion, most of the buildings were only dimly lit, but the corridor was illuminated by palace lanterns every ten steps, as bright as day, looking from a distance, it looked like a lantern array, which was a spectacle.

The West Inner Garden, which is more than ten feet away from the harem wall, is brightly lit. If you want to leave from there, you have to force your way.

Hou Xibai frowned and said, "How can I dive higher than the wall?"

Shen Mu said confidently: "As long as we find Li Yuan's usual route to the imperial garden, we can learn how Li Yuan can come and go freely. Li Yuan won't disturb the entire harem's imperial guards every time he goes on tour, will he? Come on!"

The three of them took advantage of the cover of the night and the trees and pavilions to quickly swipe towards the high wall of the East Harem in the garden, and jumped onto another big tree, where they could have a panoramic view of the Harem.

There are nine courtyards in the harem, and the layout is square. There is a watchtower over [-] feet high at each of the four corners, and there are guards on it.According to Hou Xibai's hand-drawn detailed drawing of the Tang Palace, Li Yuan's bedroom is in the middle, and his study is located to the west of the bedroom.The mother-in-law tree in the palace has a very beautiful scenery.

There are four groups of guards with 20 people each patrolling the corridors, but they are worried about the guard posts in the dark.

Xu Ziling scanned the distance with his eyes, and said: "No matter how fast we are, as long as the watchtower guards don't doze off, we can't go over the wall without alarming others. Will Li Yuan have another way to get out?"

Shen Mu looked closely at the high wall separating the harem and the garden with the posture of a master of civil engineering. Except for the formal entrance and exit guarded doorway, there was nothing unusual on the surface.

Hou Xibai pointed to the west part of the harem and said: "The trees there are very dense. Beyond that is Li Yuan's imperial study room. If Li Yuan wants to leave the palace, he can pretend to go to the imperial study room to do business, and then enter the imperial garden through the secret door. My guess is reasonable. Bar!"

Shen Mu happily said: "Good boy! I really have you." Suddenly his face changed, and he listened carefully: "What's the sound?"

Xu Ziling was concentrating his ears on the movement in that direction, and said with a frown, "It should be the sound of dogs walking."

Shen Mu sighed: "Then we can be more sure where the secret door is. Li Yuan doesn't want his subordinates to know his whereabouts, so the study is only guarded by vicious dogs. My mother, even if she can go in, how can she avoid the sharp dogs of the big dogs?" Eyes and dog nose."

Xu Ziling said with a smile: "You seem to have forgotten that we are not afraid of limited publicity, so you simply let your elder brother take action, with a lightning-fast technique, point at every dog, and restrain all the acupoints of each dog."

Shen Mu laughed dumbly and said, "Brother is playing tricks on me again!"

Turning to Hou Xibai, he said, "Did your master Shi teach you how to touch the acupuncture points of dogs? Don't hurt them."

Hou Xibai smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid no one in the Jianghu understands this kind of strange dog control method. I wonder if Cao San's ecstasy bullet can achieve the same effect for us?"

After a round of deliberation and exploration, as expected, a trap door was found in the wall separating the imperial garden from the imperial study next door.
