Chapter 387 Approaching the Taimiao
"Is this what you call a trick?" He was dressed in gray clothes and had special makeup made of a mixture of bean skin and fish glue on his face. Several thin middle-aged men were pulling a cart and heading towards the Taimiao.
The Taimiao of Zhao State adopts a fully transparent design, surrounded by column corridors on all sides, there is no wall, and it is not located in the palace city, but is located in an independent area in the city, surrounded by office spaces of government offices.
The reason for this design is because of the annual national destiny tasks. Ordinary people set up walls to prevent sluts. However, those who invade Taimiao are all monks. There is no big difference between climbing over the courtyard wall and crossing the threshold. On the contrary, because the barriers of the courtyard wall hinder the guards outside from observing the internal situation, it is better not to do this wall.
Of course, there are no walls outside the Taimiao, but it is not really open and open to allow the people to enter and exit at will. This circle of yamen built around the Taimiao is a wall that guards the Taimiao in the center.
However, there is a very wide walkway between this circle of yamen and the dressing corridor outside the Taimiao, which is a passage for the mutual communication between the various yamen.
Tianyou and the others are now walking on this passage, but their identity is a garbage collector.
With too many government offices, a large amount of garbage will naturally occur every day. Moreover, the government offices here are not like units on earth. Due to transportation and communication reasons, the government offices here have regular personnel and eat and live in the government office every day. Naturally, these people need to be equipped with daily life and other expenses, and the domestic waste generated is much more.
These things are naturally cleaned up by the servants in the government office every day, but they cannot be thrown on the street at will. If each government office specially arranges personnel to go outside the city, it is obviously troublesome, so there are these handymen who specialize in cleaning up garbage, collecting various types of garbage, night fragrance and other impurities along this walkway every day.
Tianyou and his men had been running back and forth here for two days disguised as transportation teams, and did not arouse anyone's alertness or attention. Originally, those big men who were above the top would not pay attention to the situation of these untouchables, not to mention that the high-ranking officials and nobles in Zhao were particularly lazy. Unless there was something wrong with each government office, there was usually no one to serve, and they were in a state of half-stop.
Of course, this so-called semi-pause state is Tianyou's view. After all, compared with the efficient modern political and business system on earth, the efficiency of this kind of political system in the Middle Ages is indeed outrageously low.
However, the more relaxed the Zhao State was, the happier Tianyou would be, because it would be easier to approach and investigate the situation in the Taimiao.
But people are happy, and some are not satisfied. Bai Bingyu and the others are fine, after all, they are still responsible for the Qin State and know how to endure it. Zhao Lingyun is a little unbearable. She was here to help, but now she wants her to put on makeup and take Ye Xiang as an old woman, which really makes her feel a little overwhelmed.
"The greatest thing about heroes is to be able to tolerate ordinary people's inability to tolerate them. You see, we have already figured out the general situation of the Taimiao of Zhao State?" Tianyou explained while pushing the cart.
"But we can't get into the Taimiao in the circle like this. How do you think we will steal the gold bricks?"
"Of course, you must first check the situation on the periphery. This is called sharpening the knife and chopping the wood. As for the specific actions, you need to wait."
"What are you waiting for?" Zhao Lingyun asked dissatisfiedly.
"Wait for the opportunity."
“When is the time?”
"This is the time I want it." Three days later, in the afternoon where Tianyou and the others lived, a wolf soldier had just come in and told Tianyou about it.
"When is the time?" Zhao Lingyun, who had been waiting for a long time, asked excitedly. The people who went to dump the garbage these days have gradually been replaced by wolf soldiers to play, but Zhao Lingyun and the others were arranged to do nothing all day long. However, Tianyou himself was not idle and wandered outside all day long. Later, he began to take the wolf soldiers who had no missions out and arranged various tasks for them.
The one who just came back to report the news was a wolf soldier who was responsible for contacting the gangsters and green skins on the street. Obviously, the news he just brought back was also obtained from these people.
Tianyou did not answer Zhao Lingyun's words immediately, but said to the wolf soldier who reported the news: "Go and call everyone else back, we will arrange the task, and take action tonight. After you call everyone back, you don't have to come back. Go to the Rat Road to wait and watch the family for me. Whether we can evacuate safely in the evening depends on you."
"I understand." The wolf soldier clasped his fists and bowed, turned around and ran out. Only then did Tianyou start to explain the situation in detail to Zhao Lingyun and the others.
It turns out that Tianyou is waiting for is not someone else, but the young talents of Zhao. The current situation of Zhao State, no other countries will use it as the target of snatching the BRICS, but the young talents of Zhao State will not be willing to do nothing. Therefore, they will unite with Song State every year and invade Qin State together. If they succeed, the BRICS distribution will be made according to the prior agreement.
Although Zhao State cannot get a big head in this way, there are always some gold bricks in the account. Even if one can only be transported back, it is a great thing for Zhao State. Therefore, every year, the young talents of Zhao State are happy. As soon as the national destiny mission begins, they start to form teams in China, and then rush to Song State to join forces with the young talents of Song State, and then invade Qin State.
It is the sixth day since the national destiny mission begins. According to common sense, the national destiny mission team of the country should have started to take action long ago, but the people in Zhao State are always half a beat slower. Of course, there is a reason for this.
It is still the reason mentioned before. It is difficult for Qin to get gold bricks from Song and Zhao coalition forces, so the attack direction can only be Tang. If all the young talents of Qin are in China, then the Song and Zhao coalition forces will inevitably face great resistance, which is equivalent to helping Tang to share the pressure.
Song Zhao did not want to make wedding dresses for others, so he would deliberately wait for a while every year to wait until the young talented man from Qin went to Tang set off before starting. This made Qin's country empty, which was a good opportunity for them to take action.
In addition, there is another reason why the young talents in Zhao State were later dispatched, that is, they have to spend some time forming a team.
Zhao State itself could not grab the gold bricks of Qin State, and had to use Song State, so it was in a weak position in the cooperation task. Therefore, in order to increase its own allocation quota, the young talents of Zhao State would form teams in China before the mission began, so as to use the team's advantages to negotiate with the Song people in order to gain more benefits.
Tianyou has been waiting for these people to form a team to complete the work and then leave Zhao State.
As for when and why the young talents left and why the young gangsters on the street would know... this is really too simple.
Where will those young talents work together? Of course, it is impossible to see people on the street and merge into a team. They still have to talk about things at the banquet at the banquet. So the brothel and the winery became their main gathering place. This happened to be where the young talents often appear. Naturally, the young talents are gone or not. The green talents are all clear. It is really too simple to find these people to collect information.
Qin State had to seize the golden bricks of Tang State every year, and also had to deal with the snatch of the Song and Zhao coalition forces and the young talents of the Tang State. Therefore, most of the forces in the national destiny mission had to stay in the country to protect the Taimiao. But Zhao State was different. The possibility of their attack was very small, so there was no need to leave many young talents in the country to protect the Taimiao. In this way, when the young talents of Zhao State completed the team to rush to Song State, they almost all came out, and the entire Zhao State royal city was empty, let alone monks, there were fewer warriors connected to razors and sticks.
As soon as they left, the opportunity for God to bless them came.
There are a number of people added in the national destiny mission. In addition to the national talent, there are only soldiers with dozens of times the young talents. In addition, several generals can participate in the national destiny mission. Other soldiers, ordinary people, and monks who exceed the age standard in their country are not allowed to participate.
After doing this, there are actually not many people who can be used to guard the Taimiao of Zhao. As for the soldiers left behind, they are actually not very useful in the battle between the monks. Especially since the Zhao army is weak, the soldiers' combat power is not as fierce as the Qin army, so Tianyou and others don't care even more about it.
After explaining his thoughts, the wolf soldiers who went out also returned one after another. Tianyou summoned the entire person and brought them to the front of a simple model made of soil and small wooden sticks.
"Is this the Taimiao of Zhao?" Zhao Lingyun, who had been collecting garbage for a few days, recognized what the model was at a glance.
"Look, I'll just say my method is useful?" Tianyou said with a smile: "This is the Taimiao of Zhao State. I made it based on my observations over the past few days. Now everyone is paying attention to listening carefully. Our action plan is like this tonight..."
...
The time of Si has passed, and the moon is in the middle of the sky. The weather in Zhao State is not good, and the dry earth has extremely poor insulation ability. The temperature drops sharply at night. The evaporated water vapor condenses and merges with sand and dust, and turns into a yellow haze in the air. The moonlight is covered by the dim and heavy haze. The ground below can almost be said to be pitch black.
Suddenly, two golden light bulbs appeared in the dark night. The light of the light bulb gathered but did not disperse and pointed very strongly. Only in the direction of the team could you see the hidden light. However, this light bulb was not a light bulb, but a pair of eyes, eyes that looked at the night as if nothing had happened.
Hu Niu raised her right hand and waved forward twice. Tianyou and her party immediately followed, half-squatted and moved forward quickly. They were all wearing purple-brown clothes, covered with animal skins, and walked lightly and silently. Under the cover of this dark and quiet night, they pushed forward quickly and quietly like ghosts.
While moving quickly, Hu Niu suddenly raised her hand and clenched her fist. The team immediately paused, leaning on the nearby flower bed like lightning and lowering her posture.
Tianyou carefully moved to the front row of Hu Niu. Hu Niu pointed to the left front. Tianyou focused on looking. It was vaguely seen a figure leaning against a pillar or a big tree. I don’t know what he was doing. In other words, Hu Niu’s big monster-level eyes could see through human figures in such a rich fog. Even Tianyou’s enhanced inhuman vision requires careful identification to barely see the outline. If it were ordinary people, it would be no different from a blind man.
Turning back and gestured to everyone to stand on time. Tianyou and Hu Niu touched them from left and right. Instead of approaching the man, they turned around from both sides to confirm that there was no second enemy around. Tianyou then took out a short whistle with a strange shape and put it in his mouth and blew it hard. Strangely, seeing Tianyou blowing so hard, no sound could be heard around him, but Hu Niu on the opposite side moved the furry tiger ears on his head with a little uncomfortable feeling. In order to maintain the maximum reconnaissance effect when sneaking in, Hu Niu had turned into a half-orc form. There was a pair of furry beast ears on his head, with golden eyes, and dark green vertical pupils invisible during the period. Even her feet turned into tiger claws, and the thick meat cushions were quieter and more stable than any shoes. Of course, because they wanted to turn into beasts, Hu Niu still had a big furry tail swaying behind him. However, this form was easier to maintain balance.
As the silent whistle sounded for a while, Tianyou began to change the rhythm. In the sky, a ball of black wings spread faintly and did not flap. He glided quietly by the buoyancy of the air, as silent as an owl attacking a mouse.
Needless to say, the black shadow is mocking the wind. In this weather environment, as long as it does not wave its wings, it can reap the life below as long as it does not wave its wings, like a silent god of death in the night.
The sergeant leaning on the Huabiao rested completely unaware that the god of death was approaching until his head was painful. His two steel claws grabbed his head at the same time, and then the huge black shadow above him suddenly rotated, instantly twisting his head over 180 degrees, completely ending his chance to call for help.
Without a pause, Xuanfeng slapped his wings a few times. Only a few slight puffs came from the dark night. The soldier was already grabbed by Xuanfeng and brought him to the sky. He flew straight outside the city. Xuanfeng spread his claws and threw the body out. He did not forget to pull off his head, bit the skull with his sharp fangs in the air, and greedily swallowed the white human brain, and then threw the brainless human head with empty eyes. He hovered in the air again and confirmed that no one was found nearby. Then he turned to fly back to the city and waited for the next action.
Obstacle removal, Tianyou and others moved forward again.
After passing the corridor outside the Taimiao, it is on the huge square in the center. From here, two hundred steps ahead is the Taimiao, while the square in the middle is clean and unobstructed. This is the defense plan that the people of Zhao thought of. Clear all obstacles around the Taimiao, so that the invaders can no longer hide, and they can only break a way to go.
Unfortunately, although the designer had a good idea, he did not consider the weather in Zhao State. In other words, this was not about the designer's business, because Zhao State had not been robbed of gold bricks when the Taimiao was established. At that time, Zhao State was also a place with abundant resources and mild weather like Tang State. But now... it can only be said that things have changed.
Of course, Tianyou and the others would not sigh for Zhao State. Such an environment is their greatest help. The square that should have been unobstructed was the biggest obstacle for small-scale operation teams because they could not get invisible. However, under the double cover of night and fog, the bright whistles arranged around the Taimiao and the secret whistles became blind, which made Tianyou and the others break in so easily.
As he touched the center of the square, he could vaguely see the huge black shadow in the fog like a giant beast in the fog. However, Tianyou suddenly raised his hand, and everyone following him immediately paused, looking at Tianyou together.
Bai Bingyu carefully observed the surrounding environment, then lowered his voice and asked: "What did you find?"
Tianyou pointed to the ground ahead. "Spell Trap."
Hearing this, Bai Bingyu hurriedly looked at the place where Tianyou looked, but after looking for a long time, he could not see any clues. Tianyou has its own spiritual vision attribute, and all the spiritual power in his operation is like a bright lamp to him. If Bai Bingyu could see something, it would be abnormal.
However, although there was no abnormality, Bai Bingyu had no intention of questioning Tianyou. Instead, he asked in a low voice: "How big is the area? Can it be bypassed?"
Tianyou focused his attention and observed carefully for a while, then nodded: "The trap is not continuous, you can bypass it. Tell others to line up and move along the footprints of the person in front of you, and don't go wrong."
Bai Bingyu nodded and turned around to tell others.
Because there were also people outside who were responding and preparing to disrupt audio-visual during the operation, not all thirty people rushed into the Taimiao, but only thirteen people. Three of the five sisters of the Bai family did not come, and they were also carrying some wolf soldiers outside. They were the backup plan to help Tianyou and their evacuation in case of the situation.
With few people, it is naturally much more convenient to move. Tianyou took the lead, and the others followed one by one, stepped on the footprints of the people in front of him, and carefully began to walk the bow-shaped route in the unobstructed square. From time to time, you still need to pause and jump a little to avoid some formation traps. From this, it can be seen that the Taimiao in Zhao State is not as relaxed as it seems, but it is just that the outside is loose and tight inside. It seems that it seems to be unprepared, but it is actually quite comprehensive.
Today is Tianyou. If you change individuals to lead the team, it is probably necessary to trigger an alarm to be surrounded and leaked.
With Tianyou leading the way, a group of people seemed to be walking through the marked minefield. Although there were dangers everywhere around, they easily walked through it.
The formation requires spiritual support to operate. Even with the power of a country, it is unwilling to arrange too much. After crossing this area that is more dangerous than a minefield, the Taimiao in front has already appeared in his eyes, and the ground under his feet has also been reprogrammed with ordinary ground, so there is no need to jump around and avoid those dangerous magic traps.
The location and layout of the Taimiao in the ten countries are different, but strangely, the buildings of the Taimiao itself seem to be built by an engineering team, and they are almost all carved out in the same mold.
The main body of the Taimiao is the shape of a traditional hall, but the eaves and huge houses look very grand. However, unlike ordinary traditional halls, there is a high tower in the center of the Taimiao. This tower is amazingly high, more than twice as tall as the towering hall, and its spire can be seen anywhere in the city.
Tianyou and the others touched the base of the Taimiao. The entire Taimiao was built on a white jade foundation stone that was more than a person. There were relief railings around the outside. It was not complicated to go up, but at this moment, there was a faint crying sound coming from above, which made Tianyou feel a little confused for a moment.
Bai Bingyu moved to Tianyou and looked up in confusion, obviously wondering why there were crying in the Taimiao at night.
The garbage these days has not been collected for vain. Tianyou and the others have investigated some simple situations in the Taimiao. For example, there is no garrison in the Taimiao, and only a twilight old man is responsible for taking care of the lights. However, the crying above is clearly from a young woman. Not only is she not as good as her age, but her gender has changed. This is obviously not the night watchman that Tianyou and the others have found, but she should be someone else.
Although there was something wrong with the information, they were already on the string now, and it would be fine if they didn't work.
Stepping on the relief around the Taimiao base, Tianyou climbed up carefully, exposed his head and looked around, and confirmed that he didn't see a figure, then turned over and climbed up. He turned around and greeted him, and the rest of the people below followed. After everyone came up, they immediately stuck to the wall, then moved against the base of the wall, and soon moved to the door.
This Taimiao is different from ordinary houses. The houses are more than six meters high, with few windows, and they are all located near ten meters high, so it is impossible to peek at them. As for the roof, it is even more impossible. It is not that it cannot be reached, but because the Taimiao itself is a large array, which is dedicated to inspiring the fortune in the gold bricks to nourish the whole country. Therefore, the Taimiao itself is not only a strict structure, but also a system. As long as it is slightly damaged, it will immediately cause problems with the formation, and then it will not be as simple as alarming the guards.
Therefore, if you don’t want to face the front with the guards of the city, Tianyou and the others will have to enter through the main entrance.
In other countries, the only way to grab gold bricks is to forcibly break into the other side's Taimiao and break in. The only strategy is to lure the tiger away from the mountain to minimize the guards. However, because of the relaxed defense of Zhao, Tianyou and the others gave Tianyou and the others the chance to attack. Otherwise, the restriction that the Taimiao could only enter from the main gate could force Tianyou and the intruders to death.
Carefully moved to the near Taimiao main gate, and a clearer cry could be heard from here, as if the sound was not far behind the door.
Tianyou listened to the movement inside and looked carefully through the crack of the door, but unfortunately the crack of the door was too narrow and he couldn't see anything clearly. After thinking about it, he pulled out the dagger from behind, and then found the position of the latch up from the crack of the door that was closed inside, and then used the dagger to lift the latch and moved aside bit by bit.
The door latch finally loosened a little bit by bit under the dagger's push. Tianyou then carefully put it down and let the door latch be installed. Then he dared to pull out the dagger, carefully pushed open a small crack in the palace door, and then lay up and snooped his eyes in.
Following the location where the crying sounded before, Tianyou's eyes quickly searched for it, and then he was stunned by everything in front of him.
Chapter completed!
