Under a bright moon, the Jiedushi Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. The hall was crowded with people, and the servants and maids were busy. Mr. Li and the governor Wang Eunuch were sitting at the main seats, chatting and laughing with the officials of all sizes who came to congratulate them. Li Huaiyu was wearing red and colorful clothes.
He was toasting at the table. He had already drank a lot, but there was still a large group of officers queuing up waiting for him to toast. These were his brothers who had been with him through life and death. How could he be so happy on this great day?
I can't stop getting drunk, but I'm just neglecting the beautiful lady in the bridal chamber.
However, this was exactly what we wanted. Taking advantage of the lively drinking atmosphere inside and outside the hall, we had the opportunity to take action. Chiyoko and Wood sneaked into the backyard of the Jiedushi Residence, where there was a
Stored in the west wing room are the raw materials and mixing boxes brought by Governor Wang to make fine Tang knives. Of course, even on such days, the place is still heavily guarded, but the guards'
My mind has already been disturbed by this grand wedding.
There was also a sumptuous meal in front of them, but there was no wine. Several soldiers were eating beef and complaining about the lack of wine, which was a pity for the delicious food in front of them.
I was carrying a tray with two wine bottles and seven or eight wine glasses placed on it. Wood followed me, holding two wine jars in each hand. As soon as we approached the courtyard gate, the soldier standing guard at the door immediately unsheathed his sword and shouted sharply.
He asked: "Who is it? How dare you break into the forbidden area and lose your head?"
I walked over with a smile, raised the plate in my hand, and said: "Master, our lady said that today is a good day for her and the Major General. Needless to say, the guests in the hall will have wine and meat."
.But after all, there are brothers who have followed the Major General through life and death on duty. It would be really rude to ignore these brothers. So, let me take the wine and look around. If I meet the military master on duty
Then I served the wine. However, our lady also specifically asked that the military officers on duty have military affairs and cannot be greedy for wine to avoid trouble. We limit each place to one pot of wine. I dare not invite you to eat more. Please also invite all military officers.
Please forgive me."
The soldiers on guard had seen us before, because during the day, Wood and I were running up and down the Jiedushi Mansion, arranging the bridal chamber, and ran to all the courtyards. When we walked to the courtyard here,
We excused ourselves and deliberately walked in the wrong direction several times, but were enthusiastically told the correct direction by the soldiers on guard here.
The leading officer came over to take a look, and said with a smile: "It's really difficult for the Major General's wife. On this beautiful day with a full moon, I can't think of us rough guys. I'm really grateful. Please express my gratitude to the Major General and his wife."
I smiled and nodded, and said, "Okay, I will definitely bring what the military master says. But I can only leave you one jug of wine, and I have to go to other courtyards to have a look." I said as I spoke.
Then, he handed over a bottle of wine and a few glasses, then turned to leave.
"Hey, please stay, I still have something to say." The officer stopped me and turned to me. He looked back at the two jars of wine in Wood's hand, and discussed with me with a smile: "
Do you think this will work? There are about ten brothers in my yard. Although there is no shortage of fish and meat, there is only no shortage of wine. It is really a pity. I think you have enough wine in your hands. Can you leave a jar?
Here we brothers can quench our thirst for wine. How can we share this mere jug of wine?" After that, he shook the jug I just gave him in his hand.
I turned around and stopped in front of Wood, and said in embarrassment: "Master, our lady has ordered us not to share more of this wine. If it delays everyone's military affairs, I can't bear it. Please forgive me, Master."
"Hey, it doesn't matter. Look, there are about ten brothers in our courtyard. This jar of wine is actually enough for each person to drink one glass. They will definitely not cause trouble. If you don't believe me, I will call them all out. Just count them.
"I know." The officer said reluctantly. Before I could answer, he turned around and greeted inside: "Just leave two in front of the door. The rest of the people come out and let this eldest sister pass, or else
There’s no wine to eat.”
Hearing his greeting, the soldiers inside squeezed out of the narrow courtyard door with a roar, and gathered around Wood and me. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the wine jar in Wood's hand, eager to try it.
With.
The officer said with a smile on his face: "How? You count, I didn't lie to you."
I pointed the soldiers around me with my hands, counted them carefully, then nodded and said, "Well, there are quite a few people, but our lady's order was to give each place a jug of wine, and she didn't say that they would be distributed according to the number of people."
Yeah, if our young lady finds out about this, she will definitely scold me, and maybe even expel me directly from the house, that's also a possibility."
When the soldiers around me heard what I said, they immediately started making noises. What's more, they came directly to seize the wine jar in Wood's hand. Wood was mumbling nonsense, holding the wine jar with all his strength and refused to let go.
For a moment, the scene became chaotic. The officer began to yell loudly: "What are you doing? Please behave yourself and don't scare people. Do you hear me? When you help people move wine, move it properly and don't make it look like robbery.
, Aren’t they just bringing us drinks, so they should be polite."
Well, after he said this, it was equivalent to giving an order to snatch the wine. Wood pretended to be unable to resist the pushing and pushing of the crowd, and the two jars of wine in his hand were snatched away by these soldiers.
The officer looked at me with a smile and said: "I have military duties, so I won't send you far away. You two should go somewhere else. It would be bad if you miss the order of the Major General's wife, don't you think?"
Looking at the bandit look on his face, I stamped my feet angrily, waved my hand to Wood, and said, "Let's go."
The moment I turned around and left with Wood, I was elated. I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. It seemed that the spy business was quite easy to do.
Wood and I turned around to a secluded place, where Chiyoko was waiting with a Persian cat in her arms. Seeing us coming back, she asked in a low voice: "How was it? Did it go well?"
I made an OK gesture, Chiyoko nodded, lowered her head, put her mouth to the ear of the Persian cat, Qiu Yue, and whispered a few words, then put the Persian cat on the low wall, and the Persian cat lightly
After a few jumps, he disappeared into the night. The direction Qiu Yue went was exactly the west wing room just now.
In fact, it would be effortless for Wood to just deal with the dozen or so soldiers, but to be on the safe side, we still thought of the old but tried-and-tested trick just now, and put some small powdered medicine in the wine to let
These soldiers can have a good dream.
Of course, none of us are naive enough to think that everything will be fine with this. Because the real opponent hidden in the dark has not yet appeared, and our clones are also performing their respective roles. Chiyoko's clone is sitting in a gorgeous dress.
In the bridal chamber, she is waiting for her ideal husband; my clone is waiting by her side, and Wood's clone is also doing his duty as a servant step by step. As for Qiu Yue, she doesn't have a clone, because
No one would pay attention to the whereabouts of a Persian cat.
We are all waiting for Qiu Yue's reply. With her dexterous skills and unobtrusive appearance, we will go to inquire about the news in the west wing to see if the soldiers have fallen asleep safely, and then we will proceed to the next step.
Action, the success of our plan depends on tonight.
I looked up at the starry sky of the Tang Dynasty and tried my best to suppress the uneasiness in my heart. I missed the modern world, the starry sky that no longer seemed bright. Although it was not as bright as the starry sky of the Tang Dynasty, it was home down there after all.
And here, for us, is like a set in a studio. Although we are in this period, it feels too unreal, like a dream. I really want to wake up early and find that I am still lying on my bed at home. This feels like
Only then was I completely at ease.
Okay, I admit, I do feel a little homesick and miss the era that belonged to us.
