The night is deep and the palace is cozy.
Qin Qingyu slowly opened her eyes while sitting quietly with her eyes closed, integrating her spiritual thoughts into the world.
Sitting across from her was Liu Qing, still practicing with his eyes closed.
Both the master and the disciple used the Taoist five-heart sitting posture. The back half of the buttocks was slightly elevated to keep the waist and back straight, which was conducive to the circulation of blood vessels in the legs and kept you from feeling tired after sitting for a long time.
It's midsummer.
Liu Qing wore a soft white lining, showing off her undulating figure, with her plump long legs sitting on top of each other, outlining her graceful curves.
Qin Qingyu smiled.
She treats this apprentice like a daughter, and everything seems to be fine with him.
It is said that Taoists are too forgetful of emotion, but this is not the case. It is just one of the concepts of spiritual practice.
Qin Qingyu was full of love for the relationship between master and disciple, the relationship between sect, and life itself.
She did not alert her disciples, she stood up silently, tapped her bare feet on the ground, and left the meditating hall as if her body was weightless.
When they met in the morning, they gave Huo Qubing an ancient jade, which was used by Taoist sects to commemorate the carving array, to communicate with each other within a certain distance to sense the position, and to communicate when they agreed to deal with the secret writer together.
Qin Qingyu woke up because she sensed the aura of Dao Juan.
"I have sent someone to pick up Dao Zun, and we will discuss the action after we meet."
Huo Qubing's consciousness fluctuated in the ancient jade, and he responded.
Qin Qingyu took her outer robe and put it on, then she heard movement from the inner room and couldn't help but sigh. His disciple changed into a dark Hanfu faster than he did, with narrow sleeves and waist, making it easier to move.
There was uncontrollable excitement on her pretty face, and she seemed quite excited about catching the writer at night.
Female knight.
Liu Qing has heard people say in the mountains since he was a child that after he succeeds in spiritual practice, he should walk down the mountain and hold a sword in the world. Due to her status, she definitely has little chance. It's rare that something happens in Chang'an, so the heroine's dream must take the opportunity to make arrangements.
Dreams come true series.
"Master, leave quickly."
Liu Qing took two pairs of short-waisted shoes like military boots, put his smooth and small feet into the boots, and hurriedly prepared for action.
"What did Huo Hou say?"
"He sent someone to pick us up. Once we leave Changding Hall, we can see..."
The two of them were walking out when they saw a figure flying over the wall to pick them up.
The figure jumped down from the eaves and landed without making any sound. It was indeed very skillful.
Qin Qingyu was slightly stunned. She had sensed a cat approaching for a long time. It was really... yes.
The cat landed not far away, raised its paws and waved at the two of them, meaning to follow them quickly, I am here to pick you up.
Qin Qingyu was slightly surprised that there was a cat demon in Chang'an, and she felt that she was very close to becoming a spirit.
"The cat raised by Marquis Huo is actually a lynx. It was given by His Majesty. It has some spirituality. Master, don't be surprised."
The big cat flew up to the room and led the way. After walking, he looked back and led the way very seriously.
"Master, wouldn't it be faster if we use flying swords to sacrifice to the sky?"
"Whenever our two flying swords move, they will be sensed by that person and cannot be used, lest he escape."
Qin Qingyu frowned and said, "If we join forces with Huo Hou as a teacher, we may not be able to catch him."
Liu Qing pointed at himself dissatisfied: "Don't you still have me? And this is Chang'an. The power that Huo Hou can mobilize is the power that the emperor can mobilize, and it will definitely exceed Master's expectations."
While the two were talking, they arrived at the west gate of Changle Palace, and a secret reconnaissance carriage was parked at the door.
When the master and apprentice got into the car, the big cat jumped on top of the carport and looked around with an alert look on his face, very alert.
It consciously helps its master to complete things, picks up people successfully, and feels very fulfilled.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Qin Qingyu and Liu Qing saw Huo Qubing at the north gate of Weiyang Palace.
The Forbidden Army commanded the camp, and the soldiers were solemn.
The most elite troops of the Han Dynasty are here. Everyone is wearing armor and is on duty at Weiyang Palace all night long.
Liu Qing and Qin Qingyu were led into the main hall and saw Huo Qubing sitting in the main seat, dressed in military uniform and full of heroism. Just sitting there, he gave people a sharp and sharp look, with a cold face.
As the night progressed, he was still busy. Standing in front of him was a row of generals, both old and young, with a total of dozens of them.
The solemn atmosphere in the hall was somewhat beyond Qin Qingyu's expectation.
Controlling the Chang'an Guards requires more than just passing an order from the emperor, or informing several generals.
Huo Qubing was further implementing the order to take charge of the Chang'an Guards.
All military officers, including lieutenant colonel and above, must go through the screening process in person and be assigned their respective duty tasks accordingly.
When you know someone is lurking in the dark with evil intentions, job assignment is especially important. It sounds simple, but in fact it is not easy.
It is difficult to tell who is loyal and who is traitorous among the generals, and who may have problems.
"Liu Xu, Ji Jiang, and Qian Guangmao will stay temporarily and go to the back hall respectively. They are not allowed to leave their respective rooms at will.
Qian Qingji and Xiao Yao led the troops to guard the main gate of Beigong Guard;
Ji Fu and Gu Angshe went to the east gate of the main palace and the east wing of Shoukun Hall.
I repeat, from now on, only my military orders can mobilize you to change defenses. Except for myself, unless I see His Majesty with my own eyes, I will ignore anyone's orders. This is a military order. If there is any mistake, you will be killed immediately! "
"only!"
The generals agreed with a roar, and their momentum was like a rainbow.
Qin Qingyu and Liu Qing were waiting quietly on the side, but they both had an idea. The so-called general of the country, strategizing, is probably the best interpretation of the scene before them.
Huo Qubing said "Execution order", and the generals left the hall one by one, with the clang of soldiers' armor in their steps.
The Han Dynasty has a strong army, no wonder the military front is so prosperous... Qin Qingyu secretly thought.
Huo Qubing raised his head from the scroll in front of him and looked at Qin Qingyu and Liu Qing. His eyes were dark and bright, as if they could illuminate people's hearts.
"Can Tao Zun be sure that the Tao Ancestor scroll really appeared and is in the hands of the author?"
Qin Qingyu said: "No one would trust someone else to carry something of the level of a Taoist hand scroll.
No one else can suppress the smell of the hand scroll, it must be in his own hand. The aura just now disappeared as soon as it appeared. In the south of Chang'an City, the aura of Dao Juan appeared. Within a certain period of time, I could accurately sense the location of its appearance. "
"Daozu hand scrolls...how many volumes are there in total?"
"Two volumes up and down."
"Under what circumstances will the scroll emit waves that the author cannot suppress?"
"If you want to stimulate the charm of borrowing the Tao scroll, or read it for a long time to understand the Tao meaning, the breath of the Tao scroll will rise."
"How long has this aura been present? Can you tell what you are doing based on the aura? Is it a deliberate act?"
Qin Qingyu had finally seen the power of this heroic general who was only seventeen years old. Every sentence he asked was focused on the key points. He probably used his troops as well:
“This time it only took three or four breaths.
The true meaning contained in the Tao scroll may appear under the stimulation of some specific environments or other items. "
Huo Qubing nodded and said, "Since it can be confirmed that it is a Tao scroll, then this matter deserves attention."
If he were in another location, Huo Qubing would not be able to leave the city because of the emperor's orders, but since he was in the city, there would be no problem.
"Do you want Huo Hou to make some preparations, or should we leave now?"
There are some things to say at the moment. Qin Qingyu said bluntly: "I want to remind Huo Hou that the man in the dark has an unfathomable depth of practice. He is half a step ahead of me. I asked Huo Hou for help because I want to make up for this half step." difference.
You have to be prepared and don't rush in and fight him head-on. The same goes for Qing'er. "
Huo Qubing thought that he was being despised for no reason, so am I even worth half of it?
Let me show you the ability of soldiers to defeat the enemy in battle. When it comes to fighting, it does not refer to any one in particular, but all the nine major streams must move to the back!
"Since we are in Chang'an, we must make full use of our advantages so that he has no chance to escape. Dao Zun, please wait for a moment."
As soon as Huo Qubing finished speaking, Qin Qingyu had already sensed the situation. She turned around and saw an old man who looked like an ordinary person and had a peaceful aura walking in with an unhappy look on his face.
"Huo Hou sent troops to my residence so late and insisted on letting me come. Why?"
"If I can defeat the enemy with a thousand troops, who said you would lead my horse and wear it when I fight in the future?" Huo Qubing said.
The old man who walked in, wearing a green Confucian robe, was Dong Zhongshu.
The first contemporary Confucian, equal to Tao Zun.
Dong Zhongshu was so angry that he was forcibly pulled over by a group of gangsters. His status is not good enough to take action against the Han Imperial Guard himself, and he did say that he would lead people's horses and wear them.
Bai Yu followed his teacher, also a little annoyed.
Confucians are not good at using violence, but Dong Zhongshu cultivated a Confucian spirit, a mountain of books, a sea of literature, and luck. This terrible power would be in vain if not used.
Dong Zhongshu is part of the 'geographical' advantage.
Qin Qingyu also heard about Dong Zhongshu's name: "Master Dong?"
"Exactly."
Dong Zhongshu looked at Qin Qingyu: "Qingyu Taoist Master."
"Exactly."
The two greeted each other exactly the same.
Immediately, there was the sound of a carriage outside the door, and two people walked in one after another. A man of about fifty years old, thin but tall, wearing a black Hanfu with wide sleeves and embroidered with the sun and moon, looks amazing.
The old man had his hands behind his back and looked very impressive.
Even Liu Che had to rely on this old man to determine the clan's star position, prediction and deduction, and the formulation of the country's title based on the rotation of yin and yang and the five elements.
Jiangyan, the great Yin Yang family.
Yin and Yang practitioners need to travel far and wide to learn about the four seasons and five elements, as well as the changes in heaven and earth. The Jiang Yan in front of him has gone through the four seasons, the five elements, transformed into yin and yang, holds the heaven and earth in his hand, and other realms. He is one of the two or three people in the world of the Yin and Yang family.
There is another person named Zhang Tang who has a face as cold as ice.
This is a great master of contemporary Legalism, and he is very cruel.
These people in front of me are part of the Han's heritage in Chang'an.
There were a few others whom Huo Qubing knew about, but they couldn't be transferred until Liu Che agreed.
But this lineup should be enough to catch one person.
"Huo Hou, is it inappropriate for us to go out like this?" Xiao Ying reminded at the side.
Huo Qubing understood what he meant and said: "No matter what the intentions of the people in the dark are, it will never be to attack Weiyang Palace. It is not a plot, it is suicide. Do you think that if the few of us leave, the palace will be empty and someone will take advantage of it?"
He immediately looked at the others: "Tonight, please follow me to catch someone. It's very important. The opponent's skills may be at the level of a Taoist."
The level of Taoist Master... Dong Zhongshu, Jiang Yan, and Zhang Tang all felt their hearts skip a beat.
Let us fight with you. I was fooled, I shouldn't have come.
Huo Qubing was the first to go out. At some point, a 60-man forbidden army had gathered at the door. They were all wearing armor and carrying sharp swords. The big halberds in their hands were thick and long, and they were full of murderous intent.
There are also more than ten capable people transferred from the secret investigation, who are proficient in tracking and other techniques.
This lineup is in Chang'an, even if Dao Zun comes in person, it will be overturned.
"Let's go and see what the man in the dark looks like?" Huo Qubing ordered.
Jiang Yan of the Yin Yang family spread out a picture made of silk and brocade. The mountains and rivers of Jiuzhou were engraved on the top. The incantation was densely packed with incantations. There were several vague positions in it, which seemed to correspond to the directions of the stars.
He stretched out the picture and it actually disappeared into the void.
The popularity of the entire group was gone, and if they hadn't seen it in person, they would have become invisible.
Bai Yu also wanted to go with the team, but Huo Qubing said: "You are not good at it. If you go, you will be a burden. Don't come."
Bai Yu walked backwards in one breath and almost vomited blood. His face turned red and white as he watched everyone file away.
Qin Qingyu was immediately responsible for leading the way, and everyone quickly arrived at Nancheng.
When she got here, Qin Qingyu seemed cautious and walked around.
Under her leadership, everyone continued to advance south of Chang'an City.
Huo Qubing glanced at Liu Qing.
Her Royal Highness the Princess's face was slightly red with excitement. She was on tiptoe, walking lightly, and her pretty face glowed as white as jade in the moonlight.
Huo Qubing thought to himself: This princess is usually bored out of her mind, so she caught someone so excited.
The group of people soon arrived outside a house. It was a quiet night and the long street was deserted.
Qin Qingyu nodded slightly, indicating that this was the place.
Huo Qubing looked around.
This Huo Mansion is only two streets away from my home. So the secret person is always by my side?
Dong Zhongshu, Qin Qingyu, Zhang Tang, and Jiang Yan each occupied one side and blocked the possible entrances and exits of the mansion.
Jiang Yan was right next to Huo Qubing's body. He put his hand on the ground and said after a moment: "The ground inside the mansion is solid. There is a pool on the left side of the main entrance with quite a lot of water. There is a cellar in the left corner to the east.
In addition, there are no secret passages underground, and there are no arrays, traps or other arrangements in the mansion. "
Zhang Tang answered: "There is an aura in the house that contains murderous intent and blood. It can be seen that the other party has violated the criminal law and can be arrested. He is not a good person!"
Dong Zhongshu sighed, stretched out his hand, and began to speak the Constitution of Heaven, which Confucianism is good at, and boasted: "The way of heaven is orderly and timely, measured and temperate, follow the way of heaven to nourish one's body; do not respect the way of heaven, violate the laws and chaos Those who discipline themselves must be restrained."
It means that people in the room must abide by the rules. If you can't run away, you must first get past me, Dong Zhongshu.
An invisible force of heaven and earth spread out with his voice.
"Dao Zun, are you sure this is correct?" Huo Qubing confirmed.
Qin Qingyu nodded: "It will never be wrong."
Huo Qubing also raised his hand and unfolded a military formation map. It stretched out suddenly. After falling on the ground, the area suddenly turned into a battlefield, and the fighting spirit surged!
"Use the sharp arrow formation as the tip, the square formation as the columns, the front tip as the back guard, line up the formation, attack in and take a look!"
The sixty Imperial Guards and the military formation map presented by Huo Qubing were in the same position, and they immediately took a step forward at the same time, with great momentum.
