The footsteps coming from the north were very rapid. When the Tang envoys were sent to escape from the Dali Temple prison last night, they paid attention to their movements. They were different from the common movements in China. The Japanese had very small steps when moving quickly.
The speed is very fast, and the footsteps coming from the north are like this.
The area around the big locust tree is very empty. If you dodge calmly, you will definitely not be able to hide elsewhere before the three people arrive. If you activate the spiritual energy, your complexion will be revealed, and your whereabouts will also be exposed.
After thinking anxiously, I decided to hide behind a tree and stand still.
As soon as he gathered up his clothes, three black-clothed and masked figures appeared at the north alley.
Since the two male envoys to the Tang Dynasty were close at hand, Takeda Mayumi could not go directly to the locust tree to take away the hairpin.
After a while, the three of them walked through the open area where the locust tree was and entered the south alley. Then Takeda Mayumi turned around and walked back quickly to the tree.
When Takeda Mayumi crouched down, he saw her hiding behind the tree, and he also tilted his head and saw her.
Just as he nodded slightly at him, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a male envoy to the Tang Dynasty appearing at the south alley, looking here.
At the critical moment when the matter was about to be exposed, Takeda Mayumi was keenly aware of the change in his eyes, and immediately pulled out his sword and slashed with his backhand.
In the blink of an eye, Takeda Mayumi guessed her intention based on the angle at which she drew her sword, and then with a groan, she turned around and threw her down.
Takeda Mayumi sheathed her sword, took the opportunity to grab the hairpin on the ground and ran back quickly.
Because the locust tree was so big, the envoy at the alley could only see someone falling to the ground, but could not see his face clearly. This person was originally wondering why Takeda Mayumi suddenly turned around and saw someone falling to the ground after being stabbed.
Only then did I understand that Takeda Mayumi heard the strange noise and came back to kill and silence him.
After the three people left quickly, he stood up straight and leaned against the big tree to calm down his emotions. He had been extremely nervous for the past two hours. He finally made the fake and almost showed his flaws at the last moment.
Fortunately, Takeda Mayumi was quick to respond and he was able to cooperate immediately. Otherwise, not only would the previous two hours of hard work have been in vain, but the plan to hide the enemy from the enemy would also have been completely ruined.
At this time, the matter was not over yet, and there was no time to think too much. After a short breather, we set off for Dali Temple.
However, not far away, I suddenly remembered something. I turned temporarily and walked a hundred feet eastward. Then I jumped into the backyard of a wine shop, grabbed a rooster from the chicken coop, pinched its neck, returned to the big locust tree, and chopped it off.
The chicken head sprinkled the chicken blood on the place where he lay before.
As the saying goes, a thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant nest. Details determine success or failure at critical moments. If an envoy from the Tang Dynasty is sent back to inspect it, it will be okay if he doesn't see the body. If he doesn't see the blood, Takeda Mayumi will definitely suffer.
After sprinkling the chicken blood, he immediately rushed to the Dali Temple prison.
He knew that even if he went, he wouldn't be able to do anything, but he still felt uneasy.
Worried about exposing his whereabouts, he did not dare to get too close to the Dali Temple Prison. He only watched from the distant bell tower to pay attention.
Not long after, three figures appeared on the wall of the prison, flying over the eaves and walls to the west. Yu Yi appeared immediately, shouting "stop" and quickly chased after them.
After chasing for several miles, the three figures in front were hiding in the street. Yu Yi couldn't find them, so he had to "turn back in dismay."
He did not meet Yu Yi at Dali Temple, but went back to the Yushitai. Because he was too engrossed before, he only found out that he was still holding the dead chicken in his hand after returning to the Yushitai.
Not long after, Yu Yi returned and saw the light of an oil lamp in the room, so he came to report the situation to him. Everything went well.
Only then did he feel relieved. Yu Yi didn't know why he asked her to do this, but he didn't tell her, and she didn't ask. After explaining the situation, he went back to his residence.
I wanted to lie down and rest, but I always felt that some details had been omitted. After thinking about it, I realized that I left in a hurry and didn't give Song Cai a serious warning.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly got up and returned to the Taiping Inn. Song Cai was still drinking tea on the third floor to regain his senses. He didn't know if he would come tonight. The reason why he hadn't rested yet was because he was too nervous when he made the fake before, and the fake things
It's also too important.
Seeing the return, Song Cai was not surprised and hurriedly got up to pour tea.
Sit down, hold a cup, drink tea and think.
Song Cai didn't know what to say to him, but when he saw blood on his hands and a slight frown on his brow, he couldn't help but feel fear, "My boss, we, the Song family, are loyal servants and have accompanied the Ni family for several times..."
"What are you thinking about," waved his hand to interrupt Song Cai, "If I really want to kill people and silence them, I will give you a knife before I leave."
Hearing this, Song Cai felt relieved, "That thing is too important. If the news leaks out, it will not only affect the fate of the country, but also affect the people's livelihood. Even if my boss really wants to do such a difficult thing, I can understand and understand it."
"
"As long as you know the seriousness," he took a long breath, "even the truth is not spread to the public. Only you and I know about this matter. If it is leaked, we will be the sinners of the Tang Dynasty, and we will never be able to atone for our sins by dying."
"Don't worry, boss," Song Cai said sternly, "I will definitely keep my mouth shut and won't pass it on or remember it."
He nodded and put down the tea cup, "In your opinion, what are they looking for our dragon veins for?"
Song Cai hurriedly picked up the pot and filled it for him, and then replied in a low voice, "I have been thinking about this matter while my master was leaving. In my opinion, there are only two possibilities for the Japanese's move. One is to support the soldiers and respect themselves."
The vassals and towns secretly colluded to cut off the dragon veins of our Tang Dynasty in order to change the dynasty. The second is to find the dragon veins, bury the corpses and hide the bones, and use our dragon veins to bring prosperity to the Japanese royal family."
After Song Cai finished speaking, he nodded slowly. He was a Taoist priest and naturally understood the theory of Kanyu Feng Shui. If the corpses of the ancestors were buried in the Yin Mansion of Jidi, it would indeed be a blessing to the descendants.
"I've tired you out tonight," he said casually, "I still have a few things to worry about next."
"My master's words are serious. As a slave, it is your duty to share the master's worries." Song Caiduo was frightened. "My master, if you have any other assignments, feel free to tell me."
"Help me look for four good horses, the kind that can travel thousands of miles in a day," he said. "There is no rush in this matter. You pay careful attention and take your time to look for them."
Hearing the words, Song Cai had a troubled look on his face, "Ordinary horses can travel three hundred miles a day, a horse that can travel five hundred a day is a good horse, a horse that can travel eight hundred miles a day is a good horse, and there is only one kind of horse in the world that can travel a thousand miles a day, and that is the great horse from the Western Regions."
Wan's sweat-blooded horse, but the sweat-blooded horse is the national treasure of Dawan. Even when the Han Dynasty was strong, Dawan only paid tribute to two horses every year, so this thing is hard to find."
Hearing this, he was mixed with joy and sorrow. He was happy that his black master was extremely talented and could run day and night, more than a thousand miles. What he was worried about was that in the future, Datou and other people would travel with him. Without proper foot strength, he might be held back in critical moments.
Seeing his brows slightly furrowed, Song Cai suddenly remembered something, "My boss, do you really want horses?" .???.
"What do you mean?" he asked, tilting his head.
Song Cai said, "China's nine states are vast in land and rich in resources. There are many magical birds and animals in the deep mountains and rivers. If they can be found and tamed, they can serve as foot soldiers."
"That makes sense," nodded, "Do you know their whereabouts?"
"I've heard about some before. I'll sort it out and submit it to my boss after I confirm it with multiple parties." Song Cai said.
"Well, yes," he said, "there is one more thing, please pay attention to it for me. I need Buddhist magical powers to subdue demons and eliminate demons. If there are such ancient books and secrets, please inform me."
Seeing Song Cai's puzzled expression, he casually explained, "I don't use it, I gave it to a friend."
"Okay, I'll note it down." Song Cai nodded.
He added, "Also, I know that our inn has some magical artifacts left over from ancient times. Keep them in a place for me and do not sell them to outsiders. If we encounter Taoist or Buddhist artifacts in the future, as long as they are truly magical,
We must win it no matter the cost."
"Okay." Song Cai nodded seriously.
He drank tea from the cup, then put down the cup and stood up, "It's getting late, I'll go back first."
Walking in front, Song Cai followed to see him off. When he went down the stairs, he remembered something again, "I have a friend who was flogged by hunger many times in his early years. His internal organs are weak and underdeveloped. Whether it is the heaven-returning elixir left by the King of Medicine or the celestial silkworm that can be reborn.
Even magic can't cure me. Please help me keep an eye on it. If there is something useful that can be used, remember to notify me as soon as possible."
"Yes." Song Cai nodded in response.
While they were talking, they came to the first floor. The Taiping Inn was open day and night. When the guys on the first floor saw him coming downstairs, they hurriedly ran over to follow him.
When he got to the door, he turned around and said to Song Cai, "The big shopkeeper won't be back in a short time. The Taiping Inn cannot be without someone in charge. From now on, you should pay more attention to the affairs of the Taiping Inn. You will be in charge of the expenses. Everything on other floors will be under your control."
You should also ask."
Song Cai was very moved when he heard this, and he hurriedly expressed his respect.
Leave Taiping Inn and return to Yushitai.
When they returned to the Yushitai, Yang Kai and Yu Yi had already stood up and prepared to go to court. After greeting them, they returned to the room and lay down on the bed.
Only then did he really relax. Fortunately, he met Takeda Mayumi this time. Otherwise, these Japanese pirates would have relied on the pre-Qin Dragon Vein Continuation Map to find the Golden Dragon and the Twelve Earthly Branches and destroy them. Now they have tampered with the map.
, the Japanese will definitely not be able to find the location of the Golden Dragon and the Twelve Earthly Branches in a short period of time.
However, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of being remembered. Japan is determined to win this time. In addition to the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty who were stranded in China, they also sent thousands of Japanese warriors. They could not find the dragon veins and the twelve earthly branches.
, will definitely not give up. Even if the map is tampered with, it cannot be solved once and for all, and can only be delayed slightly.
The Tang Dynasty was already in turmoil, and Japan's move only made matters worse. Fortunately, he had already planned to leave Chang'an and search for the legendary Golden Dragon and the Twelve Earthly Branches. Now that he had obtained the map, he could get twice the result with half the effort and be targeted.
After careful consideration, I decided not to report this matter to the Emperor for the time being, especially since I had the Dragon Vein Map in my hand. The Emperor was already very suspicious. Telling the truth would only increase suspicion.
After resting for an hour, I got up and summoned the censors from the censorship station to assign tasks. From today on, they will send censors and police officers to local prefectures and counties to investigate and arrest people. If they want to leave as soon as possible, they must raise enough money for the court as soon as possible.
There is a lot of money and food, and checking corrupt officials is undoubtedly the fastest way to get money. Regardless of the troubled times, it only impoverishes the court and suffers the people. Those worms wearing black gauze hats all have huge wealth and fat brains...
