Looking up, I saw an armillary sphere on a high earth platform slowly rotating in response to the changes in the celestial phenomena.
Although there were some soldiers guarding the area, they all stayed away as if they were avoiding snakes and scorpions.
Yu Xian thought to himself, there are probably many restrictions around this spiritual platform, and there are many deadly things.
He has the seal of Taishi Ling, so he is naturally not afraid at all.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the guards patrolling around, Yu Xian quietly sneaked into the vicinity of the spiritual platform.
Then he activated Taishi Ling's seal, slowly hiding in the shadows, and slowly climbed to the heights of the spiritual platform.
With the help of the seal, Yu Xian's trip was uneventful.
Arriving on the spiritual platform, Yu Xian quickly found the key to controlling the armillary sphere.
Seeing that the cover there was not closed, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
According to Wang Li, in order to assist Zhang Liao in hunting down the thieves, he briefly shut down the armillary sphere. Although he restarted it later, he felt that this was a troubled time, so as a precaution, the control hub was not completely closed.
This saved Yu Xian a lot of time.
Yu Xian carefully looked at the runes in the hub, thinking about which ones were damaged that were less likely to be discovered and easier to repair.
Yu Xian was weighing the situation when he suddenly heard the noise of people and horses in the distance. When he looked up, he saw that a torch had been lit in a courtyard in the distance.
A large number of sleepy soldiers were driven out to assemble, and then dispersed towards the palace with torches.
When Yu Xian saw this posture, he felt something was wrong.
He had a guilty conscience and didn't care much at the moment. He quickly destroyed the hub of the Armillary Sphere and prepared to sneak out of the imperial city.
As soon as Yu Xian slowly came down from the mourning platform, he saw a string of torches approaching. The first general was none other than Weiwei Zhang Wen.
Yu Xian's heart trembled, and he slowly retreated into the shadow of the spiritual platform.
I heard Zhang Wen yelling loudly, "Where are the people guarding here?"
The Habayashi guard who was guarding this place quickly came over and reported, "The humble officer is waiting here."
Zhang Wen said angrily, "Since you are guarding such an important place, why are you hiding somewhere else?"
The Yu Linwei cursed secretly in his heart.
But he could only explain, "We are not lazy, we are just patrolling around out of caution."
Zhang Wen also knew that the restrictions in front of the mourning platform were terrible, so it was not easy to criticize him harshly.
He asked again, "Have you seen anyone special coming before?"
The Yu Linwei quickly said, "The lower-ranking people have been standing nearby and haven't seen anyone special."
Zhang Wen said "hmm" and then said sternly.
"Just now, people from the Taishi Ling's office reported that Taishi Ling's seal box had sensed something. Maybe the demon Dao and Taishi Ling had already sneaked into the imperial city. This is the main hub of the imperial palace's restrictions. You must not be careless.
"
Those soldiers responded quickly.
Zhang Wen nodded, then casually glanced at the slowly rotating armillary sphere.
The bright moonlight illuminated the armillary sphere with silver.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual, Zhang Wen immediately turned back and led the soldiers elsewhere.
Yu Xian breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself that the security must be tight at this time. He didn't have the dodge ability to catch the wind. Instead of running away rashly, he might as well go to the West Garden to take a look at the layout of the Jiming Hall.
Next time I come back, I will feel confident.
Yu Xian made up his mind and immediately took advantage of the cover of the terrain to run towards the west.
…
Zhang Wen walked out for a while, suddenly pulled his horse to a stop, then turned around and looked in the direction of the spiritual platform.
His personal attendant quickly asked, "General, do you have anything to give me?"
Zhang Wen frowned and tried hard to recall the scene he had casually scanned just now.
At first, I didn't get carried away, but now the more I think about it, the more something is wrong.
Under Zhang Wen's hard thinking, he finally remembered the two sentences that had just flashed across the armillary sphere.
Zhang Wen's eyes darkened.
He said softly.
"The sun is like fire, and the fire is like the outer light. The sun is like the fire, and the fire is like the outer light..."
Even though Zhang Wen had never had any contact with astrology, he understood that such runes should not appear on a moonlit night.
Zhang Wen became very frightened, and he quickly opened his eyes on his forehead and looked around.
Nearby, the originally well-organized prohibition formations began to scatter and fade away. The star power that should have been endless began to flow intermittently.
Zhang Wen shouted flatly, "Let's go! Follow me back to the Lingtai to catch the thief!"
Zhang Wen led his soldiers and horses to fight back to the Lingtai in a fierce manner, but Yu Xian had already disappeared without a trace.
He was not discouraged, and looked around carefully with his spiritual eyes, and then found some clues. He followed his gaze and saw a trace pointing to the top of the spiritual platform.
Zhang Wen was filled with fear. If something went wrong with the armillary sphere, everyone present might be blamed.
Zhang Wen saw that the restrictions around the spiritual platform were about to collapse and there was no threat. He strode up to the spiritual platform and arrived in front of the armillary sphere.
The armillary sphere, which was originally rotating slowly, slowly stopped running at this moment.
The silver runes on the iron ring were all extinguished, and then the iron ring was put away, gradually becoming silent.
Zhang Wen's forehead was dripping with sweat. He hurriedly explored carefully and found a trace going straight west.
Zhang Wen's anger arose in his heart, and his hatred grew in his courage. He jumped down from the coffin platform and roared loudly, "A thief has entered the palace. Go and call Huben Camp as well."
The personal attendant quickly advised, "General, the Huben Battalion is on duty at Beigong today. If we alert them, I'm afraid things will get out of hand."
"Huh?" Zhang Wen said angrily, "Do I still need you to teach me how to do things?"
Seeing how angry the relative was, Zhang Wen's heart moved, and there was still time for the Cai family.
He immediately pulled his entourage away for a few steps and whispered, "Cai Hao, I also know that you are kindly reminding me. But this matter is not as simple as you think."
Cai Hao always knew that his uncle was very sophisticated, so he immediately said, "You are too reckless."
Zhang Wen said with a gloomy face, "This matter is not as simple as you think. The armillary sphere is the key to the palace's ban. The thief's purpose of destroying the armillary sphere is definitely not simple? If something happens, how can we afford it? Then you will
I’m afraid I’m not even alive.”
Before Cai Mao could answer, Zhang Wen narrowed his eyes and said, "The chief officer of Huben Camp should have been Huben Zhonglang General Li Su. Because his military skills were not suitable, he was not qualified to lead troops, so he only had a false name. Therefore, Huben Camp was
It fell into the hands of the minister Pushe Huangfu Li, who is a son of Huangfu Song and has always been strong and upright."
Huangfu Song?
Cai Mao glanced at Zhang Wen upon hearing this.
Zhang Wen was silent for a while and said, "Huangfu Song has a high prestige. Dong Zhuo has long wanted to get rid of him, but he has never been able to find an excuse to convince the courtiers. If Huangfu Li is involved in this matter, Dong Zhuo will definitely
All the blame will be placed on Huangfu Li. Only then can you and I take advantage of the opportunity to survive."
Cai Mao felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.
As expected, Zhang Wen was so cruel that he immediately wanted to drag Huangfu out and make him his scapegoat.
