The ace special forces of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 14 The Sword in the Forest

"Someone!" Fang Ding woke up suddenly and pushed his companion.

The companion opened his eyes, and it was pitch black all around. He couldn't see a figure, and he couldn't help but muttered: "Damn you!"

"Oh, I read it wrong, maybe it's a night bird."

On the roof not far away, the "night bird" raised its arms and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

These days, not everyone can do a job as a Fang Ding, who can be a Fang Ding, who doesn't have a little vision?Let them assist the Lizheng Yamen servants to maintain law and order and mediate disputes, but if they really run into Jiangyang robbers, they can run faster than rabbits.I earn those two bucks every month, so I don't need to work hard.Although the imperial court has a curfew order, in most cases, they turn a blind eye.

After several ups and downs, Liu Ziqiu has already crossed the Fangmen and arrived at the nearby Pinganli.Ping'an Lane is already on the edge of the Luo River, and beyond the Luo River is the North District.The palace city and the imperial city are all there, and many dignitaries live there.There is a bridge on the Luohe River, and there are bridge guards on the bridge, and there is no cover around.

Liu Ziqiu picked up a stone and threw it lightly into the water. With a "plop", a big splash was caused.Two bridgemen squeezed to the edge of the bridge and stretched their heads to look into the water.Liu Ziqiu had already taken the opportunity to fly past the bridge.

"Wow, there's a big fish in the middle of the night!"

"Well, if it can be brought up, it will be a delicious meal. If we make another appointment..."

It was a long night of boredom, but this stone aroused the topic of the two people in the workshop, and they chatted happily, but they didn't know that someone had already passed through their "defense zone"...

"Bang bang bang..." The fifth watch rang outside.A black shadow fell lightly in the yard.Li Jing, Hong Fu Nu and Han Shi'e hurriedly surrounded them.From Liu Ziqiu's departure to his return, the three of them did not dare to close their eyes for two hours.

Liu Ziqiu took off the black scarf covering his face, and shook his head helplessly.

Han Shi'er was a little disappointed, but Li Jing and Hong Fu Nu comforted in unison: "It's okay, it's okay, it's good that you come back safely."

Without an internal response, they dared not imagine how many adventures they would encounter along the way to enter the heavily guarded forbidden palace alone at night.

Liu Ziqiu looked calm and said, "Brother, quickly bring a pen and paper!"

Han Shi'er spread the paper on the table, and Li Jing rubbed the ink himself.Liu Ziqiu picked up the brush, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, then tapped heavily, only to find to his annoyance that a large ball of ink had seeped out on the paper, which he had ruined long ago.

At that time paper was very expensive and Li Jing's family was not rich, but Hong Fu Nu didn't feel sorry for her, she covered her mouth and smiled and said, "My dear brother, that's not how you hold your pen."

Liu Ziqiu dropped the pen, turned around and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you have charcoal at home?"

"Yes!" Although Hong Fu Nu didn't know what Liu Ziqiu was going to do, she went out quickly and brought a piece of charcoal from the stove.

Han Shi'e had already re-laid a piece of paper and looked at Liu Ziqiu suspiciously.Holding the charcoal in his hand, Liu Ziqiu felt more at ease, "brushed", and began to draw on the paper.

Li Jing took a closer look and found that what he drew turned out to be a picture of the imperial palace, and the name of the palace was even marked on it!Qianyang Hall, Daye Hall, and Zetian Gate are all clearly visible.Where is the bell tower, where is the guard, the route of the patrol, and the interval time are all clear.Even Li Jing didn't know some characters and symbols.

After more than ten years of hard training, Liu Ziqiu's eyesight has already reached the point where he can see in the dark.There were plaques on the city gates and temples. Although Liu Ziqiu didn't know some characters, he still forcibly memorized them and translated them into simplified characters that he thought were correct.Reconnaissance, surveying and mapping, lurking, and beheading are all basic skills of special forces, and sketches are nothing. He also wrote down the patrol rules of the palace guards.

Li Jing picked up the sketch and looked at it carefully for a while, "tsk tsk" marveled, and said: "This should be Yuanbi City, the northernmost part of the palace city, and after that should be Yaoyi City and the harem. The newly selected show girls should live in the harem." .”

"The place is too big, and it's almost dawn again, so I can only explore these places." Liu Ziqiu dropped the charcoal regretfully, and said, "Give me another five nights..."

"Liu Zhuangshi, wouldn't it be convenient for you to go directly to the harem and arrest someone for questioning?" Han Shi'e had unknowingly changed his address to Liu Ziqiu, and no longer regarded him as a commoner with a low status.

"Mr. Han, I understand how you feel." Liu Ziqiu patted him on the shoulder and said, "This matter should not be rushed. It is easy to arrest someone, but if Miss Hou cannot be rescued, wouldn't it be a shock to the snake? Also, rescued How will Miss Hou leave the palace? How can she cover up the loss of a living person in the palace? If you don’t think about entering, think about leaving first. These must be carefully considered.”

Li Jing clapped his hands and said, "Well said! There is a saying in the Art of War that 'Don't think about victory, think about defeat first', my brother's words are really similar in purpose!"

Han Shi'er suddenly said in a deep voice: "As long as Liu Zhuangshi has the ability to bring people in and out, I can find a way. Pick a maidservant of similar stature from my mansion, hang her to death, and send her to the palace. Exchange the fake for the real. It can deceive people's eyes and ears!"

"How is this possible! That is also a life!" Liu Ziqiu frowned, but found that Li Jing and Hong Funu looked calm, just now remembering that he was in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, he couldn't help sighing, "Human life is at stake, let's wait first I have found out the way in and out, let's discuss later."

This is not an era of human rights.In the eyes of the master, slaves and maidservants are just a piece of property, not even worth as much as cattle and horses. The master can dispose of them at will, even if they take their lives, it is no big deal.Not only Han Shi'e, Li Jing and other aristocratic children think so, even Hong Funu, who was born as a maid, also thinks this is a matter of course.

At first Li Jing heard Liu Ziqiu talk about how to use cavalry, and thought he was a down-and-out soldier.Later, I saw that he could go high and low, and I thought he was a chivalrous man who was willing to be kind and enmity.Seeing that he is actually willing to care about the life and death of a maidservant, and he is clearly benevolent, I suddenly feel a little bit incomprehensible to him.

The first ray of sunshine in the morning sprinkled on the East Lake in Shanglin Xiyuan, and the breeze blew by, sparkling.Under the big willow tree by the lake, Gao Xiu'er withdrew her fist and let out a long breath.Long ago, a pretty girl in palace attire held a white sweat towel, bowed and said, "Madam is so handsome, please wipe off your sweat."

Gao Xiu'er took the scarf and said: "Fang Ling, I can come by myself from now on, you don't have to follow. Besides, I'm not a wife, it's good for you and my sister to match each other."

Fang Ling hurriedly said: "Madam, stop killing the servants. The servants are arranged by the empress to serve Madam, how dare you presume. Madam has a pretty face, so she must be the master of this court."

This girl's surname is Chen, she is the daughter of a rich family in Hedong, and she is also one of the candidates for this election. She is not inferior to Gao Xiu'er in beauty, and she was also a proud master before entering the palace.It's a pity that she is unlucky. Others are masters, but she can only be a slave.However, Fang Ling is very clever, she doesn't complain at all, she just does her best to serve her good master.

Since ancient times, there have been a lot of resentful women in the deep palace. How many people stayed in the palace for a lifetime, and in the end they didn't even know what the emperor looked like.Fang Ling is well aware of her situation, she is now a slave to her master, and only when Gao Xiu'er is favored by the emperor can she have a chance.She yelled "Ma'am" one by one, without any hypocrisy.Although they are both masters, madams and beauties are different.The wife will definitely be favored by the emperor, but the beauty must rely on luck and the emperor's mood.She really hoped that Gao Xiuer could become the head wife of No.15 hospital.

Gao Xiu'er knew that she couldn't be persuaded, so she could only say: "Fang Ling, I want to be alone here for a while. I got up early today, so you can go back to sleep for a while."

There is a saying that beautiful women come out of sleep.At this time, most of the other girls in the courtyard were still lying down.

Gao Xiu'er kept Liu Ziqiu's words in mind, and she didn't dare to relax and practice for a day.It's just that the internal strength is good, you can only do it in the house, but this boxing method needs an open area.So she hasn't practiced since she left Yanguan County.Liu Ziqiu said that internal strength can only improve the potential of the body, and killing people still depends on boxing.Now, if he wants to avenge his hatred, he must rely on boxing skills.After finally settling down today, I remembered that Liu Ziqiu said that Fist Fist belongs to water. Gao Xiuer had a sudden idea and decided to find a place near the water to practice, so she came to the lake early.

This time it was hard for Fang Ling, and she also got up early in the morning, serving her respectfully by her side.When Gao Xiu'er was practicing boxing just now, she couldn't stop yawning.

But Gao Xiu'er didn't sleep, Fangling was not willing to go, she promised, but only took two steps back, waiting at a distance.

Gao Xiu'er is also a smart person, how could she not see through Fang Ling's intentions, and stopped persuading her, turned her head to look into the distance, and suddenly heard a scolding sound from the pine forest in front of her.Gao Xiu'er followed the sound, and seemed to see a cold light, she couldn't help being curious, and walked over.

In the woods, there was a woman dancing with a sword.

Gao Xiuer couldn't help being surprised.She was unable to sneak a pair of scissors into the palace yesterday. If she hadn't been rescued by Chen Chou and was almost killed on the spot, where did this woman get a pair of swords?

In fact, Gao Xiu'er came to replace Shi Huiniang, the Shi family was happy for a while, but forgot to tell her the rules of the palace.Even the daughter of a noble family will learn needlework from a young age, which is both a skill and a pastime.In the courtyards of Shanglin, there are not only scissors, but also kitchen knives, but they are all kept by special handymen, and there are records when they are used and returned, but they are absolutely not allowed to appear when serving the emperor.And this woman, like Wang Guizhi and the others, was pre-selected by the eunuchs.The eunuchs knew that she could dance with a sword, so they allowed her to bring it.

Gao Xiu'er was full of suspicion, and looked at the woman again.

I saw that woman was wearing a light red shirt, wearing a silver skirt, blue silk covering her forehead, red lips, pretty eyebrows full of pride, and a gleam in her beautiful eyes.A pair of swords danced about to open, as graceful as a frightened bird, like a swimming dragon.

When Gao Xiu'er was young, she often watched her father practice swordsmanship. Although she couldn't dance, she knew some swordsmanship. Seeing the beauty, she couldn't help applauding.The woman heard the applause, couldn't help but stopped, and looked over here.Only then did Gao Xiu'er see her face clearly, oval face, peach eyes, thin shoulders, slender figure, a unique figure, and a stunning beauty.
