Two chapters today, wait for one more~
That night, Xu Yishen turned into a cell and hung on the body of the patrolling guards to blend into the palace, he smoothly found Ke Shaobin, and told the other party the news of his meeting with Yue Xingwen.
Ke Shaobin was excited. “Finally, we have joined up! What’s the next plan?”
Xu Yishen said, “There are no task prompts from the library, but Qin Miao guessed that this task is related to Di Renjie, so you guys can inquire around in the palace and let me know if you have any news as soon as possible.”
Before the start of the course exam, Yue Xingwen and everyone agreed to meet at the largest inn in the city, but, when they first came to this world, the identities of several of them were not convenient to go out of the palace to the inn. Ke Shaobin didn’t find his teammates for a long time, and he was anxious, until that night, Xin Yan came to the Imperial kitchen, and after both of them met, Ke Shaobin felt relief.
It took them two days looking for people, and finally relied of the gardener Zhang Xiaonian, who could go out of the palace, contacted Xu Yishen outside the palace, and then found Lan Yarong in the harem, and only then confirmed that there were only 6 of them on this task, and the other six were not in this time and space at all.
Without the unified command of Xingwen, everyone was a little at a loss, just like the captain suddenly disappeared when he was playing a dungeon, and he didn’t know what to do next.
Fortunately, senior sister Lan followed Wu Zetian’s side, Xin Yan was very calm, and everyone discussed letting Xu Yishen be the ‘messenger’ to listen to the news, and cooperate with the decision to protect Wu Zetian.
During this time, everyone was worried, and now, finally meeting with another team, Ke Shaobin’s heart was finally relieved.
That night, the Emperor Zetian suddenly summoned a meal, and the Imperial kitchen was busy for a while before making a few of her favorite dishes to send over.
Ke Shaobin actively followed the palace maid to deliver food, and he saw Wu Zetian sitting in the Imperial garden admiring the moon from a distance, her brows furrowed, as if she was thinking about things, and the others naturally didn’t dare to say a word.
Lan Yarong accompanied her as a maid, the two glanced at each other. Xu Yishen immediately jumped from Ke Shaobin’s shoulder to Lan Yarong’s body, whispering a few words in her ear, and Lan Yarong nodded her head to show that she understood.
After a while, Wu Zetian went back to rest after eating supper, and Xu Yishen went to find Xin Yan, Liu Zhaoqing and the others. After the last task, he was already familiar with the Luoyang Palace, and within an hour, he conveyed Yue Xingwen’s words to all his teammates.
Then, he got a crucial piece of information from Xin Yan——

Xin Yan said, “I also saw Di Renjie-daren come to the Imperial study to look for Her Majesty a few days ago, but Di-daren was not there when we went to court today, and instead I heard that he joined forces with a few ministers to plot a rebellion and was imprisoned.”

It seemed that Qin Miao and Xingwen’s guess was right, they were teleported to this point in time to ensure the safety of Di Renjie, a loyal official. Xu Yishen hurriedly said, “You are in the palace, pay close attention to the news of Di-daren, I will tell Xingwen about this immediately.”
Wlc Tjc jrxfv, “Pr la rjof obg Wlcukfc jcv atf batfgr ab ilnf bearlvf atf mlas?”
Xu Yishen nodded and said, “En. I took everyone with me and Xiaonian joined the stronghold, and the courtyard is in a secluded location and is very safe.”
Only then did Xin Yan put his heart down. “Okay, I’ll pay attention to the movements in the palace. You guys be careful too.”
When Xu Yishen returned to the small courtyard, Zhang Xiaonian was also there, he was sent to the palace to maintain the flowers and plants today, and he came back relatively late.
8 people didn’t dare to light candles to arouse suspicion, so they discussed their plans in the darkness of the room.
Hearing the news brought by Xin Yan, Qin Miao’s face changed, and she said, “Di Renjie was imprisoned because he was framed by Lai Junchen, who was a famous ruthless official during the Wu Zhou period, inventing many horrific instrument of torture, and was very adept at toruring and killing a lot of loyal officials and good generals.”
Qin Lu said, “Will he give in and use all sorts of horrible punishments to force Di-daren to confess?”
Qin Miao nodded and said, “Being captured by him, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat. There are hundreds of people who unjustly died in his hands, and the crime of rebellion was the most taboo for Wu Zetian.”
Yue Xingwen frowned and said, “After Wu Zetian claimed the throne, she couldn’t fully trust those ministers who were once loyal to the Li family, and was very suspicious, and Lai Junchen took advantage of this to falsely accuse the ministers who were not pleasing in his eyes. Once Di Renjie is tortured in the prison, it will be troublesome.”
He looked at Qin Miao and asked, “In history, how did Di Renjie survive this calamity?”
Qin Miao said, “At that time, Di Renjie was also afraid that he would be tortured to death in prison, so he simply took the initiative to admit that he had rebelled, and let the other party let down his guard first, and no longer strictly guarded him. Then, he secretly tore off a piece of cloth, wrote down his grievances, stuffed them in his clothes, and requested that it would be returned to his home. Because he had confessed his guilt, the jailer in charge of the guards did not suspect anything and gave the clothes to his son.”
Xu Yishen smiled and said, “Di-daren is very witty, after his son gets the letter, he will definitely find a way to meet the Emperor and redress his grievances in person, right?”
Qin Miao nodded. “Yes, Di Guangyuan brought the cloth written by his father and went to meet Wu Zetian, who was skeptical and sent a man named Zhou Lin to investigate in prison. As a result, this person surnamed Zhou was timid and cowardly, afraid of Lai Junchen, and did not dare to tell the truth, but Lai Junchen sent someone to forge a <Dying Letter>, saying that it was written by Di Renjie, and brought it back to the Emperor.”
Jiang Pingce couldn’t help frowning when he heard this. “Wu Zetian is not so simple, she won’t listen to his one-sided words. In the end, did she find Di Renjie to confront him face to face before clarifying this matter?”
Qin Miao said, “Yes, Di Renjie told Wu Zetian in person that he had never written <Dying Letter> at all, and admitted to plotting the rebellion because he was afraid that he would be tortured to death, and that he had to save his life first in order to clear his name. In the end, Wu Zetian absolved him of his death sentence, removed him from his official position, and relegated him to Pengze County as a county magistrate.”
Yue Xingwen carefully sorted out the ins and outs of this matter.
If history developed according to a normal trajectory and there was no need for them to intervene, Di Renjie could also rely on his wit to save himself.
But now, they were in the historical illusion created by the library, and these characters were not real historical figures, but only virtualized plot characters, who did not necessarily follow the original plot. As long as one of the links went wrong, Di Renjie was likely to die unjustly in prison.
Calculating the time, it had been a whole day since Di Renjie was arrested. According to Lai Junchen’s perverted style, he would definitely torture Di-daren in prison.
Yue Xingwen immediately decided and said, “We have to see Di Renjie as soon as possible.”
Zhang Xiaonian said, “Senior brother Xingwen, I know where the cell is, but it’s heavily guarded over there, except for senior brother Xu, who can turn into a cell and go in, it’s difficult for others to get in, right?”
Yue Xingwen lowered his head and thought for a moment before coming up with a solution. “My ‘Golden Cicada Shell’ skill can instantly move 500 meters without being restricted by terrain. Wait until half past eleven tonight, we will use the ‘Golden Cicada Shell’ skill to teleport into the cell, and find out Di Renjie’s location as soon as possible. After finishing the work, the skill will be refreshed at twelve o’clock in the morning, and I will use the ‘Golden Cicada Shell’ to bring everyone out.”
Now, Qin Lu’s ‘Plate Movement’ and Jiang Pingce’s ‘Coordinate System’ skills couldn’t be used, and only Yue Xingwen’s ‘Golden Cicada Shell’ could teleport a large distance without regard to the terrain. Not to mention prisons, even if it was an even more heavily guarded palace, they could still use this skill to instantly teleport in.
Yue Xingwen’s gaze swept over his teammates and said, “Let me, Qin Miao and senior brother Xu move together, while the others stay here.”
Jiang Pingce said, “I’ll go with you.”
Yue Xingwen looked at him worriedly, “You don’t have the skills, it will be dangerous to go over there.”
Yue Xingwen spread out his right hand, only to see a math blind box suddenly appear in his palm. Jiang Pingce put his hand into the blind box, and said, “Although my coordinate system and triangular ruler can’t be used, I still have a math blind box, and this time I drew a useful skill book.”
He stretched out his hand and unfolded the skill book in front of everyone.
Yue Xingwen’s eyes lit up. “You can actually draw <Nine Chapters of Arithmetic>?!”
Jiang Pingce said, “This is a collection of the best of ancient arithmetic, and this book already existed during the Tang Dynasty. I just tried to draw the blind box and I got this book.”
Yue Xingwen was curious. “What skills are in it?”
Jiang Pingce said, “At present, the first chapter of ‘Square Fields’ has been unlocked, including isosceles triangles, isosceles trapezoids, right-angled trapezoid, rectangle, circle, fan, bow, and ring, which are eight types of shapes with area calculation methods. The corresponding skill is to summon a figure of a specified area, and ground the target in the shape.”
He opened the <Nine Chapters of Arithmetic> of the blue cover, pointed to the graphics on it, and said, “There are only eight types of figures here, so the skill can only be used eight times.”
Zhuo Feng couldn’t help but sigh. “Ancient China’s math level was indeed very high, and this book of <Nine Chapters of Arithmetic> that Pingce drew used graphs to ground the target, making it a very strong group control skill.”
Lin Manluo said, “It’s a pity that your Physics Department’s Electric Current hasn’t been discovered at this time, otherwise it will be much easier.”
Zhuo Feng said, “Fortunately, there was light in ancient times, and my Light Ball can still be used, which can temporarily blind the target.” He looked back at Yue Xingwen and said, “Why don’t I go with you and take over outside?”
Yue Xingwen simply nodded. “Okay. Then the five of us, me, Pingce, senior brother Zhuo, senior brother Xu, and Qin Miao, will move together, while the other three wait here for news from us.”
Qin Lu nervously held Qin Miao’s hand and said, “Sister, you guys have to be careful, I really can’t help this time, so I won’t go and add trouble.” There was no Globe in the Tang Dynasty, and Qi Lu’s Globe couldn’t be summoned and her skills couldn’t be used.
Qin Miao patted her shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, we’ll go and go back quickly.”
The five people glanced at each other, collectively changed into black clothes and quickly turned around to go out.
Yue Xingwen opened the team’s ‘Fast as Lightning’ acceleration skill.
On the streets of Luoyang in the middle of the night, five black shadows swayed by like the wind, and even if someone saw it, they would think that their eyes blurred and they were hallucinating.
It didn’t take long for them to arrive at the door of the prison where Di Renjie was being held.
Rush to save the official! Thanks for the chapter?
