Escape the Library

【Dream back to Tang Dynasty-05】

After the 10-second countdown, the scene in front of Yue Xingwen flashed, and he appeared on the ancient street again.

It's obviously winter here, there should have been a heavy snowfall a few days ago, and there is still some snow on the streets that hasn't melted cleanly. The people who came and went were all dressed in thick clothes, and Yue Xingwen himself also wore a thick cloak and held a fan in his hand.

There is not a familiar face in the crowd around, and even the architectural style is different from before. Yue Xingwen was puzzled, and a new prompt popped up in the floating frame in front of him——

[The story mission has been opened

Time: the first month of the first year of longevity

Location: Luoyang

Your identity is a scholar who came to Beijing to take the exam]

The six of them were transported to Chang'an in the previous "Xuanwu Gate Change" mission, but now they have come to Luoyang, no wonder the surrounding streets and buildings are unfamiliar.

As Yue Xingwen walked forward, he asked passers-by about the location of the largest inn in Luoyang City.

After passing through several streets in a row, he came to an inn and saw a familiar figure as soon as he entered the door. Yue Xingwen stepped forward quickly, patted the opponent's shoulder lightly with the handle of the fan, and shouted with a smile, "Pingce."

Jiang Pingce turned his head and met Shangyue Xingwen's gaze. The corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly: "This dress suits you quite well." A white long gown with a furry cloak over it, a square hat on his head, his hands on his hands. There is also an ancient poem written on the folding fan inside. This pair of scholar dressed up on Xingwen's body really has no sense of disobedience.

Yue Xingwen covered the faces of the two with a fan, and whispered in Jiang Pingce's ear: "This time I am a scholar who came to Beijing to take the exam. ."

Jiang Pingce said, "I rushed to the inn as soon as I could, and didn't find anyone else."

Yue Xingwen pointed to the position by the window: "Then let's sit first, wait for someone, and have something to eat?"

Jiang Pingce nodded, turned and sat down with Yue Xingwen by the window, ordered two side dishes, pretended to be reunited with old friends, and chatted in a low voice.

Yue Xingwen asked: "In the first year of longevity, do you have any impression of what happened in Luoyang City?"

Jiang Pingce shook his head helplessly: "I don't like studying history, I basically forgot what I had in high school."

Yue Xing Wen said: "I only remember that Longevity is the reign of Wu Zetian, and I have to ask Qin Miao about the specific incident..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a pair of twin sisters wearing red cotton cloaks walking into the inn side by side. As soon as the two entered the door, they saw Yue Xingwen and immediately came to them. Qin Lu wisely shouted: "Cousin, it's been a long time. not see."

Yue Xingwen smiled and cooperated with the acting: "You are also in Luoyang? Hurry up and have a meal together."

Not long after, Zhuo Feng and Lin Manluo also walked in side by side. Everyone sat around the table and waited for a while, but the six of Ke Shaobin were nowhere to be seen. Qin Lu wondered, "Aren't Ke Shaobin and the others not in this time and space?"

Yue Xingwen said: "After the mission was completed just now, the floating box prompts to say 'wait for the rest of the teammates to meet'. The 12 of us should meet in this world."

Zhuo Feng said calmly: "It may be temporarily inconvenient for them to come to the inn, so just wait."

Yue Xingwen turned his head and asked, "Qin Miao, do you know what important events happened in the first year of longevity?"

Qin Miao frowned and thought for a moment, then said softly, "The reign title of Wu Zetian's official proclamation of emperor was 'Tianzhu', and Tianzhu changed the title to 'Ruyi' in three years, followed by 'Longevity'. The year corresponds to the year 692 AD, an important event, all I can think of is that Di Renjie was falsely accused and imprisoned."

Qin Lu was stunned and said, "Sister, I remember that after Wu Zetian became emperor, Di Renjie was the prime minister?"

Qin Miao said: "Yes, in September of the following year after Wu Zetian became emperor, Di Renjie was promoted to prime minister. Unfortunately, Di Renjie was the prime minister for only four months before he was falsely accused of treason, seized his post and went to prison, and was later demoted to Peng. Zexian, a small county magistrate, did not resume his post until five years later."

Yue Xingwen thought about it carefully, and lowered his voice: "So, in this time and space, what we need to do is probably to protect Mr. Di from being wrongly killed?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Unlike "Xuanwumen Change", they directly replaced some key characters to promote the development of the plot. This time, Yue Xingwen was a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam, Jiang Pingce was the guard of the palace, Qin Miao and Qin Lu were embroidery women workers, Zhuo Feng and Lin Manluo were husband and wife who came to the capital to do business—that is to say, they were both passers-by.

How can we meet these famous people in history?

Just when everyone was silent, someone suddenly walked into the inn, and everyone recognized him when they saw his smiling expression - isn't this Senior Brother Xu Yishen?

Xu Yishen apparently noticed them too, blinked at Yue Xingwen, then walked to the front desk of the inn, took out a piece of silver from his pocket and threw it on the table: "Boss, this table is my friend, I'll pay for the meal. Are these enough?"

He pointed to where Yue Xingwen and the others were. The boss's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly, "Enough is enough! Young master, please wait a moment, I will ask the kitchen to add some more good dishes for you!"

Xu Yishen came over and sat in front of Yue Xingwen, and greeted everyone with a smile: "You are all here."

Yue Xingwen asked softly, "Senior brother, who are you?"

Xu Yi rubbed his temples deeply and sighed lightly: "They are inconvenient to move around, I am a free man, I will wait for you at the inn first." He lowered his voice and said, "The inn is not a place to talk, wait a moment, Come with me and talk to my place."

Everyone looked at each other, didn't say more, and hurriedly followed Xu Yishen after eating.

Xu Yishen has an independent yard in Luoyang. Zhuo Feng walked into the yard and looked at the surrounding environment, and couldn't help but sigh: "This yard is big enough! The library knows that you are a rich second-generation, and arranged a local tyrant for you. identity?"

Xu Yishen said helplessly: "No, the six of us bought this yard together. Because people died in the yard and the price was very low, we bought it as a temporary stronghold."

Qin Lu asked curiously, "Senior brother, what is your mission?"

Xu Yishen said: "The beginning is a battle of several women. We must secretly protect Wu Zetian from being framed, and we must help her become the queen, and finally become emperor."

Qin Miao asked: "Protect Wu Zetian? What is your identity?"

Xu Yishen said in detail: "Brother Liu is the imperial doctor, Senior Sister Lan is the maid next to Wu Zetian, Zhang Xiaonian is the gardener in the palace, helping to repair the palace; Xin Yan is the guard in front of the imperial palace; I am an idle businessman and can move freely outside the palace. They will find me when they leave the palace."

Yue Xingwen asked curiously, "What about Ke Shaobin?"

Mentioning Ke Shaobin, Xu Yishen couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Ke is the chef of the imperial kitchen, and he goes out of his way to eat delicious food every day. He likes this dungeon so much."

Everyone: "..."

Yue Xingwen said with emotion: "That really suits his heart. There are many exquisite delicacies that the imperial kitchen can come into contact with that he has never seen before, right?"

Xu Yishen nodded: "Unfortunately, he can't take out his laptop this time, nor can he summon Xiaotu, otherwise, he would like to record all those recipes."

Royal doctor, guard, cook, maid, gardener, and a flexible Xu Yishen...

The time when Xu Yishen and the others appeared was when Wu Zetian had already entered the palace and fought openly and secretly with Empress Wang, Concubine Xiao Shu and others. The six of them are assigned, although they are not important key roles, they can secretly protect the plot character Wu Zetian from the details.

If Yue Xingwen and the others took the "Politics" script, Xu Yishen and the others were the "Gongdou" script.

Now that Wu Zetian has become emperor, the two groups of teammates from different time and space have finally converged. The goal of this mission, as Qin Miao said, is most likely the incident of the famous Di Renjie being wrongfully imprisoned in history.

Qin Miao asked, "Senior Brother Xu, do you have any new hints for your quest line?"

Xu Yishen pressed down on his temple and said, "I just wanted to say, after Wu Zetian became emperor, we successfully completed the mission, settled the points, and got a 90-point mission evaluation, and then the library said, waiting for other teammates to meet. When I opened my eyes again, it was three years later, and I was a little confused."

He looked at Yue Xingwen and said, "I checked carefully, my identity is still the same, and they should be the same. I thought, when you come to this time and space, you will definitely meet at the inn as agreed, so we will go first. It's over. I don't know exactly what to do next."

Jiang Pingce asked in a low voice, "How did your previous missions relate to each other?"

Xu Yishen said: "When Zhang Xiaonian goes to maintain flowers every day, he can see Senior Sister Lan, Ke Shaobin can find a way to meet Senior Brother Liu, and I, because the skill of 'becoming a cell' can be used, just in the dead of night, I will find him. Opportunity to sneak into the palace and pass the news to them."

The human body is made of cells, so Senior Brother Xu's cell-changing skills are not affected by time and space travel, which is also the key to the six of them being able to successfully complete their mission.

As a "free man", Xu Yishen can eavesdrop on and pass news around the palace after he becomes a cell.

Even though their team did not have a good understanding of history, Qin Miao finally got a high score of 90 points. It can be seen that under the contact of Xu Yishen, the six people cooperated quite well.

Thinking of this, Yue Xingwen said: "The imperial doctor, the imperial chef, the guards of the big family, the maids by the emperor's side... these identities are really not convenient to leave the palace, Senior Brother Xu, please come back to the palace tonight and tell Ke Shaobin and the others, You have joined us and asked them to pay close attention to Lord Di Renjie's movements."

Xu Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Di Renjie? Is this mission related to Master Di?"

Yue Xing Wen said: "The library has not released any clues about the mission, and we are only guessing now." He looked at Qin Miao and said, "According to Qin Miao's statement, in the first year of Changshou, Di Renjie was wrongfully imprisoned and dismissed as prime minister. Many people in the court find him unpleasant and want to get rid of him. At this point in time, this matter is not far away."

Qin Miao nodded and said, "In the first year of longevity, Di Renjie must be a key figure. If he can't escape this disaster, he will not be able to resume his post in the later period and become Wu Zetian's confidant."

She paused and added: "Wu Zetian originally wanted to pass the throne to his nephew Wu Sansi and continue Wu Zhou's rule. It was Di Renjie, the prime minister, who helped Wu Zetian to interpret his dreams. After many persuasion, she decided to pass the throne to Li Xian. If Di Renjie happened, no one could talk about it, then the Emperor of Heaven, maybe the Tang Dynasty would perish, and then it would be the Wu Zhou era."

If they want history to return to the right track, they must not let Di Renjie have an accident this year.
