Near the Nine Immortals Gate of Daming Palace, there is a five-storey attic, the attic flies the eaves and beams, the momentum is magnificent, it together with the surrounding buildings, covers an area of about twenty acres, the official name of this attic is called Hanguang Pavilion, but it also has another name in the palace, called the Tibetan Sword Tower.

Tibetan Sword Tower is the name given by Emperor Li Longji, he loves to collect famous swords, and has collected thousands of famous swords in his life.

When the emperor's grandson Li Yu ascended the throne, the Tibetan Sword Tower gradually evolved into another function, and it became a secret samurai institution directly under the Son of Heaven Li Yu.

The royal secret samurai institution has existed since ancient times, but different dynasties have different names, such as Cao Cao's school affairs, the plum blossom inner guard in the early Tang Dynasty, the imperial city division of the Song Dynasty, the Jinyi Wei of the Ming Dynasty, the East Factory, the West Factory, the blood drops of the Qing Dynasty, and so on.

In all dynasties, such secret samurai institutions always appeared when the struggle for imperial power was fierce.

Li Yu was also forced to build the Tibetan Sword Tower, and after he ascended the throne, the emperor Li Longji manipulated behind the scenes for another year before he died.

In this year's time, Li Longji has arranged all kinds of future affairs, and even the follow-up prince of the East Palace has been determined, and the twelve generals who hold military power are all appointed by Li Longji himself.

In addition, a 100,000-strong Shence army was also established, which was commanded by the world's soldiers and horses to observe Yu Chaoen, and Li Fuguo, the governor of the Great Inner Palace, and Cheng Zhenyuan, the inspector of the Three Palaces, were also appointed by Li Longji, and these three eunuchs actually monitored the Son of Heaven Li Yu, so that the Tang Dynasty continued to follow the route arranged by Li Longji during his lifetime.

On the one hand, Li Yu established the Tibetan Sword Tower for self-protection, and the palace maids who served him and his concubines were all female warriors trained by the Tibetan Sword Tower, and they closely protected the safety of the Son of Heaven and the concubine.

In addition, there is an outer building in the Tibetan Sword Building, and the outer building is mainly responsible for various actions outside the palace, and many excellent male warriors are under the jurisdiction of the outer building, and Ganyu is the warrior of the outer building.

It was also because Li Yu, the Son of Heaven, established the Tibetan Sword Tower, and Yu Chaoen, Li Fuguo, and Cheng Zhenyuan also established their own secret samurai institutions, and gradually merged with the forces of the three princes, forming a battle for succession.

Of course, it can also be said that the three princes of Li Yufeng also have a deep intention to establish Tianyuan Tower, Tianqing Tower and Tianying Tower, so that the three of them can form a momentum to seize the heir, so that Yu Chaoen, Li Fuguo and Cheng Zhenyuan will form a confrontation for the princes they support.

This is a very ingenious imperial trick, which allows Li Yu to get rid of the clamps of the three eunuchs to a certain extent, and let them kill each other.

The owner of the Tibetan Sword Building is Gongsun Auntie, Gongsun Auntie has been the personal guard of Li Yu, the son of heaven, for 20 years, and is the most trusted person of Li Yu, appointed her as the deputy head of the Great Interior, and named her the master of the Tibetan Sword Building.

It's just that Aunt Gongsun is nearly seventy years old and old, and she is more of a spiritual existence in charge of the Tibetan Sword Tower, and the operation of the Tibetan Sword Building and various affairs are carried out by her disciples and grandchildren, and she doesn't have to ask.

At this time, a slender woman in black held a silver medal in her hand, shook it to the guard in front of the door, and walked directly into the Tibetan Sword Building, the woman in black was called Wang Jianying, who was originally a little palace maid, and was regarded as a granddaughter by Gongsun Auntie, and now she has been trained to be a leader of the third generation.

Wang Jianying's master is Gongsun Auntie's eldest disciple Li Twelve Niang, in the second year of the calendar, the poet Du Fu watched Li Twelve Niang's swordsmanship, and wrote the famous "Sword Weapon Xing".

She went directly to the third floor and knelt down to a room with a curtain hanging on her knees, "Qiqi Master, the disciple found Yang Yu in Qingxuguan tonight. ”

In the middle of the night, a soft voice came from the room, although the sound contained vicissitudes, it was still pleasant to the ear.

"Sword Shadow, Yang Yu returned to Qingxuguan I know that I approved him to go back, but your task is not to keep an eye on Yang Yu, do you understand?"

Wang Jianying muttered in a low voice: "What's the point of observing him, stealing chickens and touching dogs all day long, two days ago he touched into the inner garden, cut ten deer antlers and came back to sell them for money, he is a poaching ranger, and I don't see him have any ability, Shizu asked me to observe him, isn't it a bit overkill?" ”

At this time, the gauze curtain was lifted, and an old woman wearing a palace dress walked out, combing a high bun, wearing a half-sleeved skirt, the old woman's eyebrows were kind, but it could be seen that she was young and delicate, she was the grandson aunt who once moved the world with her swordsmanship.

Aunt Gongsun sat down in front of the soft couch, took a cup of tea from the little maid, she took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and said with a faint smile: "Don't underestimate my nephew, the white wolf king skin that summoned Wang Jin to the Son of Heaven was hunted by him in Yin Mountain, the wolf is the god of the grassland, I saw its fur, and I didn't want to kill it without peerless martial arts." ”

Wang Jianying was taken aback, "Could it be that he is the one who summoned His Royal Highness?" ”

"It shouldn't be, they just met by chance on the way to the grassland, my nephew turned the grassland upside down, one person burned Xue Yantuo's logistics camp, more than 1,500 people were burned to death or shot by him, and the Absi Department was killed with blood, and the Absi Governor was also killed by him, even the Son of Heaven was full of interest in him, you actually think he is boring?"

"But I haven't seen him perform any martial arts! Entering the inner garden to poach deer antler velvet is also considered a display of martial arts? ”

Aunt Gongsun smiled slightly: "He is only a dragon diving in the abyss now, once the time is ripe, he will definitely roar for nine days." ”

"The disciple understands, Master, if we want to take him in the Hidden Sword Pavilion, the disciple is worried that the other three families will win him over."

"Even the chief warrior of the Heavenly Pavilion, he is not moved, will he be so easy to woo? The time is not yet ripe, and when the time comes, I will personally go and meet this closed disciple of the junior disciple for a while. ”

Wang Jianying bowed down and said, "Qi Yu Master, the disciple's monitoring mission has expired this time, does it need to be extended for another five days?" ”

Aunt Gongsun pondered for a moment, shook her head and said, "Forget it, if he finds out that he is being watched, it will make him disgusted and temporarily stop monitoring him." ”

"Disciple obeys!"

Wang Jianying retreated, Aunt Gongsun put down the teacup, pulled out the sword from the wall, flipped a sword flower on her wrist, and said to herself: "He really practiced the master's sword weapon nine styles?" ”

She stood on one foot, her sword raised above her head, pointing forward, motionless.

If Guo Song saw this trick, he would definitely be surprised, this trick was Zhong Kui's ghost hunting that he had practiced for many years.

........

On the morning of the day after Ganyu appeared, Li An sent a small servant to look for him, and there was news for him.

Guo Song hurried to Wubenfang, and as soon as he entered the door, Li An stepped forward and smiled at him: "Two news, one is good, and the other is a little regretful, but it is also good news, which one do you want to hear first?" ”

"Let's start with the good news!"

"The good news is that I sold the two diamonds, I offered Princess Xinping 6,000 yuan, she agreed without blinking her eyes, it was twice as expensive as the market price, and it was a big deal for the time being, and your white tiger skin, His Royal Highness King Lu bought it, and the price was 5,000 yuan, and I will make up 1,000 yuan for you when I turn around."

Guo Song was a little worried, "He won't be dedicated to the Son of Heaven!" ”

"You're right, King Zhao offered the white wolf king skin to the Son of Heaven, King Lu was anxious, so he came to me, and he happened to see the white tiger skin, he took a fancy to it at a glance, and wanted to buy it to give it to his father, I can't help it, of course, I mean I bought it in the grassland, and I won't sell you."

"Let him be! Let's talk about the slightly regrettable news. ”

"I'm a little sorry that I found a store that sells liquor for you to transfer, but I'm sorry, the store is not in the East Market, but in the West Market."

"In the West Market!"

Guo Song scratched his head, this is indeed a bit regretful!

"In fact, there are no shops selling wine in the East Market, the shops selling wine are in the West Market, a total of eleven, if you want it, settle it today, otherwise it will be snatched away by others, this opportunity is rare, there are many people who want this store, I know the officials of the city supervisor to keep it for me for a day."

"Alright! Let's go and see now, and I'll call my brother and wife to go with me, and they'll be partners with me. ”

"I know, they live in your Xuanyangfang house, I met them yesterday, your senior brother's martial arts seem to be good, and the four-hundred-pound rockery stones have been moved by him."

Guo Song smiled, "He's just a stupid force, he can't talk about martial arts, let's go now." ”

The two rode on horses, Li An took two entourages and went to Xuanyangfang together, Gan Lei's family had moved to Chang'an the day before yesterday, and cleaned up in the new house in the past two days, Li Wenyu liked Guo Song's house very much, and forced Gan Lei to swear that he would buy one when he had money in the future, from ancient times to the present, women always have a soft spot for houses.

When the husband and wife heard that they had found the store, they immediately picked up the child and went to see the store together, although it was in the West Market, but Li Wenyu didn't care, she wanted to do a career in her heart, and she was not afraid of working hard.

Not long after, everyone came to the West Market, as soon as they entered the gate of the West Market, a noisy and lively atmosphere rushed to their faces, the West Market sold all kinds of commodities that were closely related to the lives of ordinary people, and it was much more lively than the East Market that sold luxury goods.

There was a steady stream of people, shoulder to shoulder, and everywhere there were ox carts pulling goods and wheelbarrows pushing goods, constantly shouting, 'Borrow light! Excuse me! ’

All kinds of goods are classified and gathered together, called lines, such as rice shops, livestock shops, colored silk shops, cloth shops, tea shops, wine shops and so on.

The liquor store they are going to is located in the northeast corner, it is a hundred-step corridor, paved with bright tiles, on both sides are two floors of large shops, six on the left, five on the right, all with big signs, very spectacular, the whole corridor is filled with a strong, slightly sour smell of rice wine.

Now the imperial court still allowed the people to make wine and sell wine, and in the late Tang Dynasty, the wine was monopolized by the government, and the liquor store in the West Market disappeared.

Li An whispered to Guo Song and a few people: "The shopkeeper's surname is Lu, a native of Wuxing, Jiangnan, his father died and was going to be buried back to his hometown, his mother didn't want to stay in Chang'an, so he had to move back to Jiangnan with his family, so he sold the wine shop, a price, 10,000 guan, don't bargain, he still has two years of rent, the business is also good, the market price is at least 12,000 guan, he is in a hurry to sell it cheaply, it is really after this village there is no such shop." ”

Guo Song and Gan Lei both nodded again and again, such a big store, 10,000 guan is indeed not expensive.

At this time, Li An pointed to a shop sign on the right, "That's it, Jiangnan Spring Wine Workshop." ”
