Chapter Seventy-One: The Darkness Before Dawn
Tian Wei was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time when he heard Phantom Tian's words, but he could only stare dryly and there was no way. At this time, he could not enter Weiyang Palace, and it was impossible for him to exchange views with Wang Huan.
When he woke up from his nightmarish surprise, he realized that the person in front of him was gone. If it weren't for the fact that the teapot on the table was empty, Tian Wei would rather believe that it was a dream.
In the dark night, a carrier pigeon in the Yun family's mansion soared into the sky, and a bamboo letterbox was tied to its ankle.
Yun Xiao was hugging Luan Ling and dreaming, a woman who wanted a son, squeezed out all his remaining memory, and only relied on deep sleep to recover his body.
In the distance was a sea of flowers, and Yun Xiao felt that this place was somewhat familiar. But I can't remember where I've seen it, but when I get closer, I find that it's a little different from the scene in my head. There is a large pink cherry blossom on the branches, which is very, very beautiful. In my previous life, I had never seen such beautiful cherry blossoms in Kyoto with a group.
Suddenly, a breeze blew, and countless cherry blossoms withered in an instant. The pink petals fluttered in the wind, and Yun Xiao realized that there was a woman standing under the cherry blossom tree. Wearing a slanted Hanfu on his body, the cloud bun was combed high to reveal a snow-white slender neck. Just looking at the figure can ignite a man's most primitive impulse, Yun Xiao still wanted to take a few more looks, and suddenly the mountain shook.
opened her eyes suddenly, and in front of her was Luan Ling, who was shirtless.
Damn, it turned out to be a sweet dream. Lao Tzu is just dreaming of a beautiful woman, what about you?
"What are you doing if you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"
Someone disturbed my sleep. Yun Xiao was naturally a little dissatisfied, and it was such a dreamy dream.
Luan Ling saw Yun Xiao's unhappy face, so she handed him a small note. The close-fitting maid lit the candle by the bed. Yun Xiao was so frightened that he almost jumped up when he saw it through the candlelight.
There were only five words written on the note. "Tomorrow the king of Liang will be reversed."
The five words that were too shocking were like five bombs bombarding Yun Xiao's heart. Such a big man's rebellion will not be without careful preparation, go to the window and look at the cold moon outside. I don't know how many people will fight under this moonlight tomorrow night, and the scene of corpses under the silver moon and blood all over the palace walls immediately comes to mind.
Just about to pull the door out but was grabbed by Luan Ling, Yun Xiao realized that he was still bare-assed. The little girl's cheeks were as red as fire in the candlelight, and Luan Ling gave Yun Xiao a ** smile. Then find the clothes and serve Yun Xiao to wear.
Canglan stood in the hall, his eyes staring straight at the staircase. Didn't get instructions from Yunxiao. He didn't spread the shocking news without permission. The pigeon is from the Yun family's house in Chang'an. In the corner of the note is the secret of the phantom sky. After comparison, it was determined that it was undoubtedly a phantom sky. This kind of secret detention is carefully carved by Master Geng, and no one can imitate it, and every important person of the Yun family has one. And each one is different, as long as you check the secret file, you will know who sent the message.
Yun Xiao's figure finally appeared at the top of the stairs. Canglan felt as if a hundred years had passed.
"When did you receive it?" Yun Xiao went downstairs. While asking Canglan.
"As soon as I received it, I immediately sent it to Master Hou. What are we going to do. Is it to immediately convene the village warriors. The recruits have just started their training and are not ready to fight. ”
The blockbuster news made Canglan a little anxious.
"Keep it quiet, don't make it known. And also. All villagers wear armor but do not issue weapons. Weapons can only be issued with my permission, you understand? ”
"No, Canglan understands." After Cang Lan finished speaking, he turned around and ran to the door and walked out.
"Wait a minute. Find your third uncle and Dai Yu, and I'll wait for them in the study. ”
"No."
Yun Xiao stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, staring in the direction of Chang'an City in the distance. The dark night is like a thick fog that makes people disorienting. Chang'an in the distance is invisible, only darkness that seems to have no end.
"Master Hou."
"Master Hou."
Canghu and Dai Yu were led in by the Iron Guard, and they were not wearing armor but cloth clothes. It seems that Canglan is very honest and did not tell the two of them the truth of the matter. Yun Xiao silently handed over the note, and the candle in the study was very bright. The two men took the note, and their faces changed color in unison.
"Master Hou's ......"
Canghu's eyes widened, not quite believing that this was true.
"I know as much as you do, so don't ask me if it's true. I came to you to hear your opinions and negotiate a charter. I have asked Canglan to gather the brothers, and I guess they should gather at dawn. ”
Yun Xiao looked at the expressions of the two and returned to his seat and sat down.
"Sit down and talk about what we should do. My mind is a little messy, you talk and I listen. ”
"The subordinates feel that they must first prove the authenticity of this matter, and they should immediately send someone to Chang'an. There is still about an hour before the sky will dawn, which is almost enough to run to Chang'an. At that time, the city gate should also be opened, and it is necessary to quickly find the phantom sky and let him explain it in detail. Then a second flying pigeon biography was sent. ”
It seems that Dai Yu still maintains his usual caution, and he can still hold his breath at this time.
"Well, I agree with Dai Yu's words. If it is really King Liang's rebellion, we should immediately distribute weapons and prepare for war. King Liang had an unpleasant relationship with us, and if he ascended the throne, he would definitely not have a good life for the marquis. In any case, we should be rescued by King Qin. ”
There is some truth in what Canghu said.
"You may not know that I sent Illusory Heaven to Chang'an to help Tian Wei inquire about something. This information may have been accidentally learned on the way to investigate, but since he knew it, Tian Wei must know it now. I think he will definitely enter the palace early tomorrow morning and inform the queen of the matter.
And such a big thing, the queen did not dare to hide it. And there is no need for her to hide it, the queen will definitely inform Her Majesty as soon as possible. I don't know what kind of reaction His Majesty will have yet, but there are two kinds of reactions.
First, they don't do it secretly. When the matter is raised, King Liang and his subordinates will be wiped out.
Second, that is to immediately close the gate of Chang'an City. Wipe out the rebels. ”
"What Hou Ye said is very reasonable, I will definitely choose the first option when I analyze it. Because once the city gate is closed, even if you get someone, there will be no confession. Even if he gets a confession, King Liang can deduce that he will be beaten into a trick. The Queen Mother couldn't explain it at all, and in the end she had to let King Liang go. You can only catch some small fish and shrimp.
His Majesty has been suspicious of King Liang for a long time, and he will definitely take this opportunity to win King Liang in one fell swoop. Even if you can't kill the King of Liang, you have to cut off its wings so that it can't harm again. Paving the way for the future prince to clear the obstacles. ”
"What Dai Yu said makes sense, so I'm going to Chang'an in a while. The tiger and the goshawk accompanied me with the iron guard, while Dai Yu organized the village warrior at home. Remember, before you get my pigeon biography. Never issue blades, this is an extraordinary time, don't let people grab pigtails. King Liang organized a rebellion there, and I gathered the armor-bound men at home and distributed the blades. If you are sued by someone with a heart, you can't eat and walk around. ”
Yun Xiao couldn't forget Liu Qi's resentful eyes when he walked out of the Chengming Palace. I can't sleep with other girls, and I can't marry home justifiably. Any father's heart will not be happy, and it is already a big shit luck that he didn't find an excuse to "click" himself on the spot. Don't dare to have any more pigtails for Liu Qi to catch, who knows if Liu Qi will come to take revenge.
"No, Dai Yu understands the stakes. Please rest assured that you will not receive a flying pigeon from Hou Ye. I categorically will not hand out blades. ”
Dai Yu is still relieved to do things, this guy is becoming more and more mature. Out of the instinct of a swordsman, he can always calm down in a moment of crisis. Yun Xiao tried to ask this, but he couldn't do it. And Canghu is still one layer worse after all, compared with Dai Yu, Canghu seems to be a little brave and not calm. Such a person with troops is very likely to suffer a big loss.
Looking at the sky outside, Yun Xiao rode on his horse and galloped towards Chang'an in the dark with the Tie Guard, the Canghu and the Goshawk brothers. The darkness before dawn is the darkest, and as long as you survive this darkest hour, you will be greeted by the light of the sky. (To be continued......)
