Chapter 55
"Dong!Dong!Dong!"
"Dong!Dongdong!"
"Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong!"
Pei Shaoqing slept soundly in the straight room, but was suddenly awakened by the sound of drums.
"What's the situation?" Pei Shaoqing stood up suddenly and frowned, "It's going to be five o'clock so soon?"
He remembered that when Hu Lang from the Bachelor's Academy had just reported the afternoon, why did he beat the morning drum at 5:30 at 5:00? I'm afraid that Hu Lang at Chengtian Gate misjudged the time?
Qingxuan's beautiful figure appeared in the straight room like a ghost, frowned and said, "This is not a morning drum."
"Isn't it a morning drum?" Pei Shaoqing said angrily, "What kind of drum beats in the middle of the night, and will you let people sleep?"
Qingxuan listened for a moment, then said, "It was Wu Hou who sent a message through Wanglou, and the whole city was pursuing the thieves. There must be some major case."
"Send a message to the building?"
Pei Shaoqing immediately became interested.
Before traveling through time, he watched a TV series from the Tang Dynasty.
There is a plot of the Honk Tower transmission inside, and the light signal is used.
But I don’t know what the real Tang Wanglou relies on to convey information?
Moreover, he suspected that this matter was related to Dali Temple. If this was the case, he might be able to help Di Renjie so that he could repay Di Renjie's favor.
The guard and the man is not used to owe favors.
Pei Shaoqing stood up and said, "Let's go, take a look."
Qingxuan instinctively wanted to dissuade him, but he opened his mouth and said nothing in the end because she was just a guard and her duty was to ensure Pei Shaoqing's safety.
Pei Shaoqing asked Cui Erlang to summon more than a dozen guards to capture the man and head straight to Xing'anmen.
Although it was late at night, ministers wearing purple goldfish bags could still enter and exit the palace.
The right guard guard Lang, who was guarding Xing'anmen, checked Pei Shaoqing's fish talisman and opened the door and let it go immediately.
After coming out of Xing'anmen Square, you can see the viewing tower on the right side of Guangzhaifang Xifang Gate. The lonely peak of this viewing tower stands, almost as high as the arrow tower in Xing'anmen Square.
But what disappointed Pei Shaoqing was that there was no signal light box on the building.
There was not even a light, and it was so dark that it could not be seen.
But it can be clearly heard that the sound of drums came from the tower, and it was very rhythmic.
Qingxuan seemed to see Pei Shaoqing's question and explained in a low voice: "Wanglou can transmit messages through the rhythm changes of drum beats, but it can only convey the name and direction of the shop."
Pei Shaoqing said curiously: "What is being delivered now?"
Qingxuan listened and murmured, "The street drums are four times and four times, the four and four are Chongrenfang, and the direction you are conveying is Zongrenfang South."
"South of Chongrenfang?" Pei Shaoqing said inexplicably, "What does it mean?"
Qingxuan said: "It means that the thief went to Chongren Fangnan and asked the Wuhou of each Fang to support him."
"Let's go, let's go too." Pei Shaoqing made a quick decision, "If I'm not wrong, it must be Dali Temple chasing the thief. Di Temple has been helping me a lot, and I should have returned his favor."
At that moment, Pei Shaoqing and Cui Erlang led a dozen guards to Chongrenfang.
However, just after passing Yongchangfang, I came to Chengtianmen Heng Street, and I saw that the drum beats on the stairs changed again.
Qingxuan listened for a moment and said, "East of Yongxingfang! The thieves have passed the East Gate of Yongxingfang!"
"Yongxing Fangdong? Isn't it right in front of us?" Pei Shaoqing said happily, "This is really a way to heaven and you don't go, and you don't have a way to hell and you can come!"
"Let's go through the north of Yongxingfang!"
Pei Shaoqing immediately took the guard and captured the enemy from the north of Yongxingfang.
Soon, the group rushed outside the Beifang Gate of Yongxingfang.
Suddenly, a group of Wuhou swarmed south from Danfengmen Street to the north, blocking the way.
"Who?" the leader of the Wuhou team was shouting, "I dare to go out to the streets to lie in the middle of the night!"
Pei Shaoqing immediately showed the gold medal of the guard and captured the robbery and shouted: "The guard and captured the Hanlin Academy cooperated with the Dali Temple to chase the thieves. Why don't you hurry up and dodge me!"
"Shouqiaosi?"
The commander was shocked when he heard this.
Although this guard and capture department has just been established, it has spread throughout Chang'an City.
Especially Pei Shaoqing, the Si Cheng, who is guarding the Capture Department, is not only a celebrity in front of the queen, but also a mortal selected by Wenqu Xingjun, and is not something they can provoke.
After testing the gold medal, the captain quickly signaled Mr. Wu to move aside.
Pei Shaoqing, Cui Erlang and more than a dozen guards whizzed by.
...
Yongxing Fangdong.
"Chasing me!"
"Don't shoot arrows, you must catch the alive!"
Zhang Qianxu ran quickly while shouting loudly.
Behind Zhang Qianxu, more than 20 Yulin Guards followed him, following closely.
Not far ahead of Zhang Qianxu, a figure was running north along Wangxianmen Street.
"You can't escape!" Zhang Qianxu shouted loudly, "You know the truth, just surrender!"
The last word "Bar" just fell, and a dozen black shadows suddenly flashed out from the sewage ditches on the street.
These dozens of black shadows were wearing a wooden crossbow, and shot at Zhang Qianxu and more than 20 Yulin Guards.
"Be careful, there is an ambush!" Zhang Qianxu was shocked and quickly waved the horizontal knife to block the arrows. The Yulin Guard who was accompanying him also danced his stair spear hard.
But the distance is too close.
In addition, it was night again, and the light was too dark.
In an instant, several Yulin Guards fell to the ground by arrows.
Zhang Qianxu was also shot with an arrow in his arm and fell to the ground with a scream.
The remaining Yulin Guards quickly gathered to Zhang Qianxu and waved their swords or spears to block them.
"Don't worry about me, go and chase the thief!" Zhang Qianxu shouted, "Don't let him run away!"
Yu Linwei turned his head and saw that the thief had barely escaped to the intersection ahead.
Almost at the same time, the dozen figures who had just hiding on the street and fired cold arrows were also disappeared into the ditch.
"Chasing me quickly!" Zhang Qianxu endured the severe pain and got up, leaving behind two Yulin Guards who were injured in the care of the wounded robes, and then continued to chase with the rest of Yulin Guards.
After such delay, the thief had already rushed into the intersection.
After reaching the intersection, the thief was a little hesitant. He first wanted to continue running north and then east, but finally he stomped his feet and ran straight west.
Zhang Qianxu shouted: "Xiao Qi!"
"Send a whistle to Wanglou! The thief headed north of Yongxingfang!"
One of the Yulin Guards immediately pulled their bow and arrows, and shot out the whistle in the north of Yongxingfang.
The next moment, the drum sound immediately changed on the Wang Tower located in the East Gate of Yongxingfang.
...
On Tonghuamen Street, north of Yongxingfang.
Pei Shaoqing was running eastward with a dozen guards.
When there were about dozens of meters left from the intersection ahead, I saw a large group of Wuhous circling from the Tonghua Gate on the opposite side with torches.
Then a black shadow fled from the east of Yongxingfang.
