Chapter 825 A reason
Two quarters of an hour later, Shisong Hutong Street.
The late winter sun shines down on the armor of the patrol battalion sergeants, reflecting a dazzling light like mercury.
In a small shadow in the corner of the alley, Tang Min clung to the wall, quickly adjusting his breathing and suppressing the slight gasp caused by the rapid attack.
A smart stalker would not choose to sneak into a place surrounded by enemies in such a sunny environment.
But right now, he has no other option.
If it is true as Jiaojiao said, what she is doing at this moment may determine the fortunes and lives of countless people...
I failed to save that honest brother back then, this time...
Tang Min was thinking wildly when the soldiers at the entrance of the alley that he had been watching moved.
The two soldiers seemed to be attracted by a few pigeons flying not far away and turned their necks.
In the blink of an eye, Tang Min was like a piece of paper without thickness, sticking to the wall and swishing through the corner!
His speed was extremely fast and he made very little movement. He didn't even stir up a breeze. When the two soldiers turned back, he had safely hidden behind a small stone lamppost in the alley, stuck perfectly He caught the sight of the other soldiers in the alley.
"Huh..."
Tang Min took a breath, closed his eyes, and then opened them again. His expression was extremely calm.
He continued to use the patrol patterns and blind spots of the patrol battalion soldiers to flexibly shuttle through the alley like a silent ghost.
Every turn and every time he pressed against the wall, he avoided the soldiers' eyes just right. The staggered steps of the patrol battalion soldiers soon became regular and rhythmic in his eyes. He stepped lightly on the soldiers' wrong steps. The nodes of body and head turning, quietly moving forward step by step.
"A house without a lantern, a house without a lantern..."
Tang Min thought silently in his heart, his eyes sweeping across the doorways of the houses.
Today, many houses in Shisong Hutong Street have experienced the same experiences as Fu's house.
Many house doors were wide open, and many patrol battalion soldiers were making a fuss inside. There were long traces of blood on the ground outside the door, and it was clear at a glance that the family must have been ransacked and exterminated.
"This is really going to be a rebellion... Where is the emperor? Where is the imperial army?"
Tang Min cursed secretly in his heart and continued to go deeper.
Finally, after rounding a corner, his eyes lit up.
There is no lantern hanging on the big house in front... There are two words written on the plaque on the door, Yan Mansion.
Yan Mansion?
Tang Min's heart moved slightly and he turned his attention to the soldiers stationed outside the door.
There are actually the most soldiers here in the entire alley!
But the door of this house was not opened and was tightly closed. The soldiers clearly had hostile and murderous intent, but they did not break in, but obediently guarded the door.
"Is this... house arrest? It seems that the owner of this family has some status. That's why Jiaojiao asked him for help."
After Tang Min thought a few words in his mind, he skillfully took out a few stones from his belt.
Whoosh whoosh!
As a gust of wind blew through the alley, those few stones suddenly shot out!
A moment later, there was a banging sound on the door of another house in the distance.
The soldiers guarding Yan Mansion were all startled and turned to look.
This...of course is Tang Min's opportunity.
In an instant, he was like a black smoke, sliding close to the wall to the side of the house, and easily climbed over the courtyard wall.
At the moment when he climbed over the wall, Tang Min also saw the situation in the house.
So many people, so many nursing homes!
At least a hundred or so guards were standing quietly behind the gate, holding swords and weapons, as if they were about to start a fight at any time!
Tang Min was startled, but he calmed down well - his experience saved him. When ordinary people escape a siege and climb over a wall, they only pay attention to the situation outside the wall. After all, if you are not on the other side of the wall, how can you know the wall? The environment over there?
But he had suffered hidden losses in his early years, so he naturally knew that... to climb over a wall, you have to pick the blind spots that the people inside the wall can't notice.
Therefore, the position where he landed was right behind a big tree in the courtyard.
When he climbed over the wall, no one noticed him due to the cover of the branches and leaves.
Otherwise, just in this scene of fighting, the people in the courtyard would not care who he was, and would just come up and chop him into pieces.
After entering the house, Tang Min had time to slowly look at the situation inside.
Just now, he only noticed the large group of fierce guards. Only then did he notice the group of protected people behind the guards.
"Father."
A man who looked like a middle-aged scribe was speaking anxiously: "What are we waiting for? I don't believe that these traitors really dare to touch you! Whoever messes up, I'll fucking chop him!"
On the other side, an old man who looked like a housekeeper was so angry that he tugged at his beard: "Young master is right! It's too bad! These bastards are coming to our door! Damn it, master, let's fight our way out." ! ”
Tang Min: "..."
No, is this a military attaché family? Doesn’t it look like it?
However, the old man surrounded by them smiled leisurely at this time: "What are you anxious about? Mingjiange did not take action, Zhangjian Academy did not take action, and the Imperial Army did not move. I am an old man with half of his body buried in the ground. What are you doing? ?”
He looked very ordinary and leisurely, even lying on a wicker chair with a book in his hand.
"Father, they are rebelling!"
The middle-aged scribe became even more anxious: "The fact that Mingjiange and the others did not take action further illustrates the problem! The places you just mentioned may have been invaded by rebels!"
"How is that possible? Do you think Ning Baimei is a vegetarian? And you don't know who Dong Qianran is? If they haven't taken action yet, they must be waiting for a big news..."
The old man smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, as long as they don't come in, we will wait here."
The middle-aged scholar shook his sleeves angrily.
The old housekeeper also sighed: "Master..."
The old man waved his hand, as if he didn't want to hear it, and the old housekeeper could only sigh and turn around.
Tang Min narrowed his eyes slightly.
He has been around the world for many years and has met countless people. Naturally, he can see... that this old man's status is very high.
Who in the current imperial court has this status? Whose surname is Yan?
In the blink of an eye, he already had a conclusion in his mind.
So, Tang Min regained his strength and no longer hesitated. He walked out from behind the tree and said loudly: "Tang Min, a common man, pays homage to Mr. Yan, the chief minister!"
While he was speaking, he knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists in salute!
Clang, clank, clank!
A series of flashes of swords rang out, and the guards noticed him, and pointed their swords at him in shock!
"Wait a minute——"
Yan Yidong raised his head leisurely and called.
He stood up slowly with the support of his son and the old housekeeper, squinted his eyes slightly, looked at Tang Min next to the big tree, and said slowly: "Tang Min... such a familiar name. You, Tang Zhun, Tang Jiao, What’s the relationship?”
Tang Min's eyes lit up and he raised his head suddenly: "Sir, Tang Zhun is Cao Min's youngest brother, and Tang Jiao... is Cao Min's niece!"
"It turns out to be you."
Yan Yidong smiled slightly: "Although I am old, my memory seems to be okay... Are you from Fu Qingzhou's side?"
"Yes." Tang Min responded.
Yan Yidong smiled again: "What happened to his Xuanmeng ceremony? Why did he send you here?"
"Sir, the grassroots were not sent by Fu Qingzhou."
Tang Min responded: "I promised my niece Tang Jiao to come here to look for you. I hope you can help Tang Jiao once and send her out of the capital!"
"Well... Fu Qingzhou must have suffered from the chaos in the capital this time."
Yan Yidong's eyes were dark: "His home has probably been confiscated, right? Tang Jiao... It's not easy for his junior sister to escape from the capital."
He walked forward slowly and asked in a deep voice: "I do have some friendship with Nan Muzhi and Tang Zhun, but at the moment, I have no plans to conflict with those outside."
"If you help Tang Jiao, I will be involved in the game early, which will bring disaster to my family..."
While speaking, he was already standing in front of Tang Min: "Tell me, why do I want to help you?"
Tang Min didn't say anything, he just stretched out his hand and spread it.
In his palm lay a small copper coin.
"Oh?!"
Yan Yidong's gaze paused: "The woman that day was Tang Jiao?"
The situation was urgent when Tang Min set off, and he didn't know the cause and effect. He didn't know how to answer this question, so he simply kept silent.
"Interesting, interesting..."
Yan Yi east stroked his beard and said.
Although he was talking interestingly, his brows were furrowed: "Is it really such a coincidence? I accidentally met two people that day, one was Hua Wuying who took the sword, and the other was Tang who asked me to risk my life to help him. Jiao? Fate is also fate, so clever? ”
"Or is it that someone has already made arrangements?"
"Perhaps, I have already entered the game... I am the source of the big news they are waiting for?"
After saying that, he sighed leisurely.
"Tang Min."
Yan Yidong suddenly said: "Go and tell your niece that when the beacon smoke is lit at the south gate of the capital, it is the time for her to leave the city."
Tang Min's eyes lit up.
Then, Yan Yidong turned to his son and housekeeper, flicked his sleeves, and said in a loud voice: "What are you looking at? Bring people and fight them out! Find all my students! Put an end to the chaos!"
