The two men flinched, sliding in the air and heading towards the city wall. Look at that intimate look, it seems to be like flying birds in the sky.

Tianbao three years on January 15, Maozheng.

Chang’an, Xingqing Palace.

The thing beside the kiss is a stone statue of a warrior. This gigantic king-like fighter, with a bearded hu hu, half-naked body, only half a piece of lion skin on his shoulders, wore a frilled corset, and wings on both sides. Its right hand is held high, the five-finger halberd is spread, and the left hand is holding a giant stick.

Although Tianzi didn’t know its origin, at least it could be seen that this thing was not in the middle-earth style, and it should come from the Persian Sassan area, and it also brought some traces of Sogdian style.

The statue is not tall, and it is a little shorter than the foot kiss. Its location is very cleverly chosen. It is blocked by the kisses and cornices before and after. If you don’t get close to the top, you can’t find it at all-and there are several places in the entire Chang’an city that can look down on the top of the Qinzheng government building?

Tian Zi’s complexion became even more ugly. He had to hover in this building every day, but he never knew there was such a weird thing on his head. What if someone intends to do the curse of Wu Gu?

Xiao Gui smiled and said, “Your Majesty, don’t worry. This **** is called Rolling Mountain. It is the God of War in Persia. When the building was first built, it was thought that Persian craftsmen participated and secretly repaired a place for the gods they worshipped. . ”

Datang craftsmen themselves are very capable, but they do not exclude the skills and styles of other countries. Large royal buildings such as the Qinzheng government building are dominated by Chinese customs, but the details are mixed with the characteristics of Turks, Persia, Tubo, and even Goryeo, Kuni, and Linyi. Therefore, it is not surprising that foreign craftsmen participated in the construction. Those craftsmen occasionally hide some private goods in obscure places, leaving a name or a paragraph of words, it is common.

However, it is very rare to secretly display a foreign **** on the eaves of the royal palace. I don’t know how it passed supervision and acceptance. The person who supervises this project must be the culprit.

But what the Son of Heaven is thinking about is another question: How does the Cricket plan to escape?

This is not a false god, but it sits on the cornice, and there is still no way to escape around it-does the fighting **** suddenly show up and can’t carry them back?

Xiao Gui asked the others to walk beside the rolling mountain, patted the shoulder of the stone carving, and then gently pulled his right hand with his hand. With a little force, the whole stone carving clattered to the side. Everyone noticed that under the stone carving, a large square hole appeared, which coincided with the shape of the base of the stone carving, and it looked as if this piece of cornice had been pierced by a hole.

This hole is used as a channel for craftsmen to transport clay materials when building cornices. The workers will first mix the materials on the ground, put them in the bucket, and the rope will pass through the hollow, which can be hung up and down on the cornice, which is very convenient. It seems that after the completion of these Persian craftsmen, they did not close it according to the regulations, but covered it with a statue of Rolling Mountain.

“How do you know?” Tian Zi stared at Xiao Gui, his self-esteem was really unacceptable, this diligent and administrative building was full of loopholes.

Xiao Gui said with emotion: “How can I say … This statue of rolling mountain is the earliest reason I want to come to see His Majesty. Many years ago, I was a wanted criminal, full of hatred, but I do not know how to return He had to go around. In that year, I accidentally met an old Persian craftsman from the Jiling City in the Western Regions. He had retired and retired. When he was drunk, he boasted that he had built a building for the emperor and secretly fight The God of War was enshrined on top of the emperor ’s palace. Of course, the old craftsman did not have any bad heart. He just hoped that Rolling Mountain would have a place in the Middle-earth Royal. But this news, in my ears, means differently. . ”

Hearing this, Tianzi’s shoulder shook slightly with anger.

“I poured him a few cups, and he shook out all the details: where is the idol, what is the image, how to open it, and so on, I made it clear. I asked again and again, and I could n’t find anything new. He slaughtered him smoothly-should you understand? He wants to tell others, but it ’s not good. “Xiao Gui said very relaxedly, as if talking about an ordinary little thing,” Since then I have been thinking hard about how to use this secret to deal with your majesty. It was a rough idea at the beginning, and then it was continuously revised and improved, and finally a perfect plan was formed. If this roll of rolling hills, you and I ca n’t reach This is the point today. ”

Xiao Gui patted the statue with emotion. The emperor could not speak for a long time. The inadvertent act of an old craftsman more than ten years ago turned into a disaster. The marvellous evolution of the number of games is beyond description.

As Xiao Gui spoke, he took a rope from his waist, and other crickets also untied, and soon stringed the rope into a long strip. But everyone, including Taizhen, can see that the length is not enough to fall to the ground.

“This length can only reach the third floor. Do you want to jump from that height?” Tianzi said sarcastically. “Even if there is no luck, the ground is full of forbidden troops. You still have no way to escape.”

“Your Majesty is bothered.” Xiao Gui said lightly.

They tied one end of the rope to the end of the cheek kiss and hung down slowly. As the emperor estimated, the rope only hung down to the third floor and ended. And the third floor is the Inviting Wind Pavilion, which is open on all sides, so unlike other floors, there is no cornice sticking out, and there is no safe place to rest.

Tian Zi no longer ridicule, he would like to see, at this point, what other tricks can these **** crickets play.

Xiao Gui dragged the rope with his hand to make sure it was sturdy enough, and then told the other five crickets to be optimistic about the hostages, and grabbed the rope and slipped a little.

There is now chaos in the building of Qinzheng. The various forbidden troops have arrived, layer by layer to rescue people, search and arrest, and put out fire, cries and footsteps one after another. At this time, the sky was still dark. None of them thought of it, nor did they see that the cunning cricket was hanging on a string a few feet away from the east side of the building, and slowly slid down.

Seeing that he was about to reach the height of the third floor, Xiao Gui began to shake his body, causing the rope to swing sharply. Swinging back and forth a few times, when he reached the highest point on the east side again, he suddenly moved, pulling the rope and jumping over the blue-grey wall opposite the third floor.

The Qinzheng government building is located in the middle of the city wall on the south side of Xingqing Palace, so it is followed by a section of the city wall on both sides. The height of the city wall is flush with that of the third floor Inviting Pavilion, and it is very close. However, for safety reasons, the floor and the city wall are not connected, and a gap of about three feet is deliberately left.

Just now, Zhang Xiaojing slipped from the top of the Xuanyuan Lamp Building in Taishang, and it was supposed to fall on the city wall. As a result of the collapse, he rushed into the third floor of the Inviting Wind Pavilion. Xiao Xiao is now a repeat of old tricks.

The decorative significance of this section of the wall is greater than the military significance, everything is beautiful and magnificent. The city castellations are tall and straight, and the city head can run fast. Xiao Gai quickly fixed the rope to the sleeve of a flagpole, and then tossed it regularly three times.

The sky was too dark, and Xiao Gui could not raise the fire. The people above could only judge from the jitter of the rope that he had landed safely. So the earthworms began to get busy. They had two hostages and an unmovable companion in their hands, and they had to be tied to one person in a group of two and slowly slipped down.

Earthworms don’t have to worry about the hostage’s resistance, and there is a line between heaven and earth, and no one will take advantage of that time. But there was a trouble that had to be solved immediately: Tai Zhen saw that he was going to jump from such a high place, he was directly paralyzed, and he cried out loud, no matter how threatened the cricket was.

In the end, a cricket couldn’t bear it, and wanted to knock her out directly. The emperor said angrily: “You are not allowed to move her!” The Cricket turned her head and said fiercely: “If she doesn’t shut up and hurriedly recruit the forbidden army, we will push her down!”

“I’ll tell her.” Tianzi straightened up. The earthworms hesitated and let go of his arm. The emperor stepped between Uwa and came to Taizhen, crouching down and lovingly lifting her scattered hair: “Taizhen, do you remember what I said to you?”

“Huh?” Taizhen continued to sob.

“Wish to be a lovebird in the sky and Lianlizhi in the ground.” Tianzi grabbed her hand and chanted these two poems softly, as if returning to the Shenxiang Pavilion beside the Longchi. Too hesitantly raised his head, and there were two more tears on his white cheeks.

She remembered that these two poems came from a wonderful dream of the emperor. The emperor said that in his dream he saw a man with a white surname, kneeling under Danqi, and he wanted to dedicate a poem to the emperor and the concubine to remember his feelings. The guy had been chattering about it for a long time, and the emperor woke up only remembering two sentences. Later, he told this matter to Taizhen, and Taizhen pretended to be annoyed, saying that I was just a Kun Dao, not a concubine. The emperor put her in his arms and promised that within a year, she would definitely be given a place. It was Taizhen who turned to rejoice, and made love again.

“Look, we can fly in the sky like a winged bird now, wouldn’t it be beautiful? I promised you that I would never leave or hurt you.” Tianzi relieved, holding her in his arms. . Taizhen buried his head in silence. These two poems are a little secret between her and the emperor, and no one else knows.

The emperor stood up and stared at the earthworm, saying: “Let me tie down and slide down.”

The earthworms were stunned for a moment, Xiao Xiao was not there, and they did not know how to handle this unexpected request. At this time Zhang Xiaojing said: “Just do it. Anyway, there are people watching on both sides. Where can they go?”

The earthworms stood still. Zhang Xiaojing’s face sank: “My Zhang Xiaojing’s words, you can ask Xiao Gu, should he listen?” He is used to being bad and handsome, and he is full of momentum. The crickets also know his relationship with the boss, and they are easily overwhelmed .

No one noticed that when he heard the name Zhang Xiaojing, his eyes lit up.

The earthworms tied hands together to tie Tianzi and Taizhen together, and also tied a belt on the rope to prevent Tianzi from getting old and unable to catch the rope.

Zhang Xiaojing recovered a little bit of strength at this time, and said I would check the rope. The emperor’s identity is precious, and it is normal to be more careful. Zhang Xiaojingqiang endured the severe muscle pain, walked to the front, grabbed the rope with one hand, and whispered: “Your Majesty, I am here to save you.”

Emperor Tianzi chuckled in his nostrils, it was time to play this trick. But Taizhen blinked her big beautiful eyes and whispered: “I know you, you are the love of Tanqi.”

Zhang Xiaojing stunned, where did this come from?

In order to persuade Taizhen, Tanqi pretended to be in love with Zhang Xiaojing. This kind of shameful details, she was naturally embarrassed to mention when she told Zhang Xiaojing. The situation is urgent now, and Zhang Xiaojing is not easy to ask. He tightened the head of the rope again and whispered: “It’s true or false, it will be known in a moment. Please also see the machine to act.” Then he stood away.

Taizhen closed his eyes tightly, arms around the emperor. Tianzi grabbed the rope, glanced down, and quickly withdrew his gaze, his face pale. The emperor of Datang has experienced all kinds of dangers in his life, but like this today, it is the first encounter.

In the end he experienced a big storm, clenched his teeth, grasped the rope, pressed the weight of the two, and then slowly slid down the hole.

The two men flinched, sliding in the air and heading towards the city wall. Look at that intimate look, it seems to be like flying birds in the sky. Their speed is very slow, and there have been dangers several times along the way. Fortunately, Tianzi learned more about polo on weekdays, and had to be carefully cared for. His physique and response were much better than those of ordinary old people. Finally, he finally fell on the city wall in a precarious manner.

Xiao Gui saw the emperor fell to the ground and immediately stepped forward to restrain it. It’s so true that she doesn’t need to pay any attention to it. She was already scared and fainted.

Immediately afterwards, a cricket slipped smoothly, and Zhang Xiaojing was tightly tied to him. Zhang Xiaojing’s strength has recovered a little, and his hands can hold the rope tightly to share the pressure, so the two men came down more smoothly than the combination of Tianzi and Taizhen.

However, when the next earthworm slipped down, the accident happened.

He had just slipped halfway, and the rope seemed overwhelmed, and even a “snap” broke apart. A black shadow could not even send out a scream, falling heavily from the sky to the wall of the city, the spine just knocked on the raised city wall, and the whole body was suddenly folded in half. The upper part of the body flicked down again, the head shattered, and the muddy brain plasma covered the wall.

Fortunately, Taizhen was groggy and didn’t notice the tragic situation, otherwise he would scream in silence, causing death to everyone. Helping Taizhen Tianzi to see this tragedy, raised his eyebrows, could not help but looked at Zhang Xiaojing.

Xiao Gui stayed in place, showing a stunned expression. The blood from the injured eye covered his half of his face, making him look terrible.

This is not only the trouble of losing one person. There was only one pair of ropes, and now that they were disconnected, the retreat of the three people above was completely cut off. Now Xiao Gui’s manpower, except for the half-dead Zhang Xiaojing, is only left.

The rope was made from the silk thread of the ramie vine and the horsetail mane. It was shrunk in cold water and dipped in oil. It was extremely tough, and it was impossible to break it so quickly. Before Xiao Xiao came down, he inspected inch by inch and found no hidden dangers. How could it break inexplicably?

When Xiao Gui was in doubt, Zhang Xiaojing quietly put his hands together and put a folding knife with an ivory handle that did not belong to him into his sleeve. This was just stolen when Zhang Xiaojing was entangled with Tianzi.

When Zhang Xiaojing held the rope, the folding knife was hidden in his palm, with the tip of the knife sandwiched between his fingers. Sliding down, the tip of the knife will cut the rope quietly. Of course, this strength and angle must be mastered very well, and some of the carrying capacity must be retained, otherwise the person will break the rope before landing, and it will be tantamount to suicide.

Zhang Xiaojing had used this kind of rope before and knew his nature. He lifted the blade slightly when cutting and only picked out a circle of vine silk. The rattan silk mainly stretches, and the ponytail mane mainly bends. When the silk is broken, the ponytail can still keep the rope strong, but it can no longer support the weight.

“Let’s go.”

Xiao Gui only glanced at it, and soon turned around and said blankly. The three crickets trapped on the top of the building are destined to be saved.

“Where do you want to go?” The emperor still had a sarcastic tone.

Even if these crickets have done a lot of tricks, and finally let them fall on the south wall, what can they do? Tianzi is too familiar with this area. Every fifty steps on the city wall, there is a sentry post, one each inside and outside of the dark, every three posts, and the dedicated Chengshanglang. They are still in the sky and earth, nowhere to escape.

Xiao Gui coldly said: “The only way to escape is to rely on the selfishness of the old Persian craftsmen; the next step is to thank His Majesty’s gifts.”

“Huh?” Tianzi didn’t feel well.

“Go to the city.” Xiao Gui spit out three words.

Yao Ru was able to curl up in the cell, both physically and mentally cold.

He still remembers the scene of his arrest in Dawanglou: holding a purple lantern, desperately sending a signal to Zhang Xiaojing: “Don’t come back, don’t come back, don’t come back.” Jing’an Division is different from before. Then the fierce guards rushed up, dragged him down the Dawanglou, and threw him into the cold prison.

Yao Ru could not know that Wenran was arrested almost at the same time; he did not know how much the news passed on the situation.

Yao Ru knew what he was going to know about what happened next. Tomorrow Jiwen and Yuanzai will surely accuse themselves of a crime, and the reputation of the family will be ashamed. But he did not regret it at all, because it was the right thing, no matter how discredited the outside world, he would make a fair judgment in his heart-than this, he was more worried that Que Lehuo was stopped.

“If Zhang Duwei is there, there will be no problem.” Yao Ru could think confusedly.

I don’t know how long it passed, there was a clatter from the prison lock, and it seemed to be opened. Yao Ru could raise his head and saw a familiar figure standing at the door, standing with his hands down.

“Li Sicheng ?!”
