Chapter 17 The rain falls
Liangzhou, undercurrents are surging.
Prince Bo was not sure why he suffered from a serious disease and ordinary medicines were useless, so the royal palace invited people from the Tang sect to treat them. However, for safety reasons, the Sanmiao Sect, which had always been unfair to the world, did not want to see the Tang sect deepen their ties with the court, so he planned to attack the royal palace.
No matter from any aspect, this is a crazy plan, so crazy that even the Tang Sect can't cure it. If you don't attack the royal palace, the Gu-making technology - the Tang Sect is suspected to be held - flowing into the court through Prince Bo, the Sanmiao Sect may not be a problem; but if you attack the royal palace and the Sanmiao Sect will directly cause trouble, will it still need others to blame?! This is completely putting the cart before the horse!
When Tu Shi sorted out his thoughts, it was too late. Sanmiao Cult summoned Miao players from almost all Liangzhou through various channels. Miao players were not all Sanmiao Cultists, but out of their keen adventure, they still actively participated in the camp confrontation mission here. They were scattered in Qingmiao City. Due to lack of management and guidance, and their personal acting skills were not upright (their costumes were indeed eye-catching), it has attracted the vigilance of the royal palace. The number of guard patrols has increased significantly, which has made Tu Shi worry about whether the plan would die.
Of course, the Sanmiao Sect is not united. The sects are divided into two schools: witchcraft and witchcraft. Three of the five priests (that is, elders) practice witchcraft. Only these three can obey the orders of Ling Lianshan. The other two are not willing to confront the Tang sect and the court, so they do not participate in this operation.
"Are you listening?" asked Ling Kunlanshan.
"Oh, there is." Tu Shi responded and turned his gaze to the map again.
When the royal palace was established, locals were hired to work as laborers, including some Miao people with a deeper degree of sinicization. One or two maps of the royal palace were circulated to the Sanmiao Sect. The royal palace was known to have 100 acres of land requisitioned, but the scale of the building was not that exaggerated. Prince Bo mainly requisitioned Qingmiao Mountain outside Qingmiao City, which circled the mountains and forests to make the back garden, and built the royal palace on the mountain. This construction concept determines that the royal palace is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Interestingly, although Prince Bo is very friendly on the surface and attaches great importance to the relationship between Han and Miao, he has arranged a large number of manpower and insect prevention nets on the back mountain, which can effectively resist Gu insects, and has never taken it lightly.
(Tu Shi looked at it sideways: "How do you know what layout is on Qingmiao Mountain?")
(Emeng Lanshan sticks out her tongue: "Don't care about the details!")
"The palace is strictly guarded, and even if we use witchcraft, it is difficult for us to enter, but we have internal responses inside the palace." The person who spoke was an elder named "Leica", with a gray beard and thin body. He spoke very well in Chinese and was one of the priests. He stood beside Ling Lanshan, blocking Ling Lanshan and Tu Shi intentionally or unintentionally. His eyes occasionally passed by Tu Shi's face, and they were all cold.
Insider? I heard it right? Isn’t the Sanmiao Sect hidden away from the world? Someone can get to a high position in the royal palace? But that’s right. The Qiankun system has always focused on balance, and it is impossible for the Sanmiao Sect camp to do nothing. Look at the map again, the functions and guard strength of each part of the royal palace are marked with Chinese characters. This kind of intelligence is definitely not something that the craftsmen of the past can master. If there is really an internal response, it will be understandable.
Tu Shi asked casually: "Then we are disguising ourselves and then we can get in?"
"No, some areas of the royal palace will relax their vigilance. We will break in from there and face the Tang Sect."
I still have to get in after a long time!!! Is there no easier way?
"No." Elder Leica sighed: "Although that man is an insider, he is not my tribe, and he is not the same as us..."
"And I also plan to make profits, just like treating me and the Tang Sect as two poisonous insects, and see which one can survive." Ling Kunlanshan smiled, crossed her legs, grabbed the bones of her left calf with both hands, and shook like a tumbler, not to mention how happy it is.
Damn, why are there still third parties hidden in the palace?! This water is deeper than I imagined!
"In this way, the 'insider' has only been in contact with you these few days, and you know nothing about him, right? Then how do you know that this is not a trap of the Tang Sect?" Tu Shi tapped the map with his index finger.
Elder Leica: "He showed his skills. It was not the poisonous technique of the Tang Sect, but more like your Taoist technique."
Taoism, that can indeed eliminate the suspicion of the Tang Sect. The children of the Tang Sect abide by the rules passed down by their ancestors and would rather die than enter them. Tu Shi murmured: "No, this person is actually Prince Bo..." After saying that, he was shocked.
Ling Kunlanshan smiled playfully: "This possibility is not ruled out! But the mission has been released. Even if it is dangerous, we still have to take action."
Tu Shi shrugged. He had given up persuasion long ago. There was no way to reason with the madman, let alone a group of madmen who didn't even tell such important things as "insider". Forget it, if you don't have the same knowledge as them, you can quickly retreat and leave Liangzhou early. "You have gathered together, right? When will you plan to act?"
"When the Qingmiaocheng County Magistrate came to visit, we spread the news that Prince Bo was infected with a disease. I believe that the county magistrate would definitely come to the royal palace to express his condolences. At that time, the inner person would help us."
It feels a bit ridiculous... What if the county magistrate doesn't visit? Have you cancelled the action?!
Tu Shi asked again: "The inner man will definitely not show up, right? Will he send some signals or other information to inform you that you can act? "Shall the cup as a sign" or something?"
Elder Leica said, "The man said, just wait until it rains, and rushed in."
Have to wait for it to rain? This is even more ridiculous!!! Who knows when it will rain! Please be an insider and have a professional ethics!
Perhaps seeing Tu Shi was helpless, the elder said seriously: "Han kids are of great importance. Even if you are crushed to pieces, you must protect your own good luck!"
Ling Kunlanshan said angrily: "Elder, Ah Wang is very powerful, don't worry Ah Wang!"
She and I are not even friends. Whether she is dead or alive is nothing to do with me? Tu Shi smiled dryly and muttered in her heart: Ling Lianlanshan is so capable, she is actually doing well in the Sanmiao Sect, making NPC think she is the pearl in her hand? I am like a rat crossing the street, why don’t I see two masters coming to save me!
At this moment, a golden beetle flew into the room and circled around Ling Qianlanshan. Ling Qianlanshan stretched, stood up, and said to Tu Shi: "The news is coming, it should be now."
The sun shines on Tu Shi's face through his lingering and dim hair. This picture has never been forgotten by Tu Shi for a long time.
——————————————————————————————————
Prince Bo’s Mansion, Pharmacy.
A fellow disciple of the Tang sect hurried to the door and whispered: "Report! Master Xin asked, can you get the prince up and say a few words?"
With a creaking sound, the door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a silk woven on his head walked out quickly. He did not rush to ask what Qingyou was, turned around and bowed respectfully to the room, closed the door, and then looked back at the young child, holding a tone: "Speak while walking."
“Yes, worship.”
The two of them walked in the corridor one by one and the other. Every ten steps, they would pass by a pair of guards on both sides. The guards were holding sticks and staring at each other without looking sideways. They should have been used to the Tang people walking around the mansion.
The worshiper walking in front twisted his beard and said, "If you can get the prince to stand up and say a few words, what's the difficulty of letting him heal immediately? Master Xin is whimsical. Do you know what happened?"
"It seems that the county magistrate of Qingmiao City is here to visit."
"Oh, I want to calm people's hearts." The worshiper shook his head and said, "I can only let Master Guan go home."
Just at this moment, it was drizzling outside the corridor. The worshipper looked at the sky and sniffed: "This ghost weather--" Before he finished speaking, he jumped back quickly and pushed the younger generation behind him with his back hand. The younger generation hit the floor with his butt, gasped in pain, and then was frightened by the scene in front of him, choked in his throat and burped. He saw two guards three steps away falling to the ground, his head bleeding, but his eyes were still open. Could it be that these two people were caught by the Impermanent Ghost and died suddenly in the daytime?!
The worshipper shook a handkerchief from his sleeve, covered his mouth and nose, went forward to check, touched the neck, rolled his eyelids, listened to his pulse, and was startled: "How did this...they have the symptoms of the prince--"
He suddenly kept silent, glanced at the younger generation who kept burping, and cursed coldly, "No prospect!" But he felt more and more uneasy, and he couldn't help but look at the sky again. He looked out of the corridor. It was so strange that the rain was full of moisture, so cold that his back of his hands stood up.
"There is an assassin!" A cry sounded from a distance. If you heard it correctly, another worshiper: "Sanmiao Sect!"
"These gang of insects who were killed by thousands of swords!" The worshiper could not think too much, and a fire shaking his hands rushed into the sky against the raindrops. The sharp explosion sounded across half of Qingluo City! This is a unique signal of encountering enemies in the Tang Sect! Needless to say, the children of the Tang Sect rushed to the sending place as soon as possible, and a message popped up in front of ordinary players:
System prompt: Do you accept the regional mission "Wangfu Offensive Battle"?
System prompt: The task "Wangfu Offensive and Defensive Battle" can be selected for: a, Tang Sect; b, Sanmiao Sect.
The regional mission was launched. The system determined that the Sanmiao Cult was at a disadvantage, so the Sanmiao Cult released the task very early and took the lead; the system determined that the Tang Sect was powerful, so the Tang Sect could only passively respond to the enemy and not release the task until the moment of the battle. This type of confrontational task has a high degree of freedom. No matter what measures you take, as long as you interfere with the hostile camp, there will be rewards; the threshold is also very low, regardless of origin or martial arts, as long as you choose a good camp and follow the NPC to fight.
At this time, the assassins had already climbed over the wall and fought with the royal palace guards. Behind the crowd, Tu Shi and Ling Qianlanshan walked side by side.
Ling Kunlanshan turned her face and smiled and said, "You are very angry now, right?"
"I don't." Tu Shi had a straight face.
"You don't hate attacking the palace, and you don't hate Ah Ying. What you hate is that Ah Ying forces you to attack the palace! You must feel like a doll, and you can't control it, so you are very angry! You feel that your fate is in your control, but you are actually afraid!"
Ling Kun Lanshan stuck to Tu Shi's ear and whispered: "But, everything is fake. The reason why Ah Ling released this task was all because she wanted to help you."
"What, what?" Tu Shi struggled violently, widening the distance from the witch, and suspected that he had heard it wrong.
Ling Qianlanshan raised her index finger and pressed her indigo lips, and she said with a smile. Tu Shi hurriedly leaned over again and lowered the volume: "What do you mean? You didn't say that at that time, because you were afraid that the witchcraft would spread to the court and lead to the Sanmiao Sect--"
"Fake it, it's all lies. There are so many NPCs around Ah Ying, and they are all told to them - they are rashly attacked, and the target is the royal palace, of course they have to give them a reasonable explanation. But, if the Sanmiao Sect is destroyed, what does it matter?" Ling Kunlanshan said this very sincerely, but this sincerity made Tu Shi even more creepy.
