Chapter 12
The two Li Tianran brothers were shocked when they heard this, and Li Tianran couldn't help muttering to himself: "Our Ah Lang's Ah Lang? The two of them were surprised for no reason. Since he was a child, Ah Lang had never mentioned the matter of the previous generation in front of them, and even if he asked occasionally, Ah Lang was vague and never said, so all along, they had no idea about their grandfather.
Li Boyu immediately asked, "Old man, can you tell us about my grandfather?" ”
The old lady listened to Li Boyu's question, and suddenly became interested, and the previous indifference and disdain were immediately swept away, he slowly sat down at the table, and said with a smile: "You two never know? But... It's not surprising, if you have nothing to do, I'll tell you about it. ”
As soon as the old eunuch said this, the three of them immediately straightened up again, and their eyes all turned to the old eunuch, and it seemed that Xiaoluo was also very interested in this. The old eunuch immediately asked, "Have you ever heard a poem by your Ah Lang, which says that if you kill one person in ten steps, you will not stay for a thousand miles." Brushing off the clothes and going away, hiding deep with the name. ”
Li Tianran nodded lightly and replied: "I've heard it, but I don't know what it means, it's difficult... It's the grandfather who writes about it? ”
The old eunuch smiled faintly and replied, "Exactly!" Your grandfather's single name was the word 'guest', and he was a hero of the world back then, known as the Sword God of the Western Regions! A dark iron long sword is unparalleled in the world, and there are few opponents in the world! No matter how powerful a master is, it is impossible for him to survive ten rounds, even if he is old... Hehe, I can only sigh with joy! ”
Li Tianran's face was full of reverence for a while, he never expected his grandfather to be so powerful, but he didn't interrupt the old eunuch, he still listened by himself, the old eunuch continued: "Your grandfather is from Broken Leaf City in the Western Regions, he has the same temperament as Ru Alang, he is chivalrous and righteous, fighting grievances, protecting the country and defending the people all his life, I don't know how many good things he has done, but he has always been unwilling to join the ranks, and even despise this matter!" But he has a very high prestige in the community, and there is no one in Luoyang and Chang'an who does not know the prestige of Li Ke. ”
Li Tianran was surprised: "Since grandfather is like this, why did Ah Lang never mention him?" ”
The old eunuch couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "This matter has to start from the first year of Shenlong, the traitors Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong are two brothers, who have won the favor of Emperor Wu, served arrogantly, controlled the government, and did a lot of evil things!" But that's not all, he even conspired to kill the king at the Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival, causing chaos in the world and profiting from it! ”
Li Boyu was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "That... And then? ”
The old eunuch continued: "Fortunately, your grandfather Li Ke and Li Sanlang, oh! This Li Saburo is... Saints of the day! Regardless of life and death, investigating the case alone, and cracking the conspiracy of Zhang Yizhi's two brothers, this saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang, the capital of God. ”
Li Tianran sighed: "Grandfather is really benevolent and righteous, and the style of a chivalrous man is admirable!" But why is such a big hero ... ”
The old eunuch shook his head and sighed, "This man... If you are too powerful and prestige, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of others! Leeke so, this did not eventually cause ... The suspicion of today's saints! Li Ke was afraid of affecting his family, so he fled Luoyang with his wife and children overnight, and hid the rivers and lakes. ”
Li Tianran muttered, "Today's saint? He couldn't help but sigh and continued to ask, "Old man, where is he now?" Is it still alive? ”
The old eunuch shook his head in frustration and said softly, "It's gone!" It is said that he died of illness ten years after he fled, and later... Isn't your Ah Lang going to the end of the world with a sword? ”
Li Boyu said with a disappointed face: "A generation of admired heroes, it's really a pity to do this!" I don't even have a chance to leave a name in future generations! And also... His martial arts, I really hope to see it with my own eyes, and it is not in vain! ”
When the old eunuch heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing and said, "The Ah Lang of the two of you has a true heritage? Have you never seen it? ”
Li Boyu shook his head and replied, "I have seen it, but... The people who fight with Ah Lang are often defeated in two or three moves, and the subtlety of his swordsmanship is not complete, if... There is a top master who can compete with Ah Lang, and it is bound to be exciting! ”
The old eunuch suddenly said with a serious face: "Yes! Who says no? ”
Li Boyu was surprised when he heard this, and said slowly: "What the old gentleman said is... Colliers? I just saw it two days ago.,It's only a few dozen moves after he's been defeated.,I can't count.。。。 Chess opponents! ”
The old eunuch said with a look of disdain: "Gao Lishi? What is he? How could it be that the supreme master I'm talking about could be him? ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Tianran and Li Boyu couldn't help but be surprised, and Li Tianran took the lead in asking: "Old man, is it possible that there are other peerless masters in this world?" We ... How come you've never heard of it? ”
The old eunuch looked up to the sky again and smiled: "You two little ghosts, how old are you, there are many things I haven't heard of!" Lao Yu is in a good mood today, so I'll talk to you! The old eunuch cleared his throat and continued: "Back then, there was a person Li Ke who couldn't beat him, but he couldn't beat Li Ke, no matter how hard the two practiced swords, they couldn't beat each other. ”
Li Boyu was shocked: "More than ten years? And such masters? What's his name? ”
The old eunuch replied word by word: "The Tang Sword Saint - Pei Min!" This battle between the Sword God and the Sword Master is still exciting to think about now! ”
Li Tianran asked, "Pei Min?" Could it be that his old man is still alive? At the very least... Eighty-year-old, right? ”
The old eunuch smiled faintly and replied, "He is the general of the Tang Border Pass!" A lifetime can be regarded as serving the country and the people, acting chivalrous and righteous, and being admired! It's a pity that he resigned from the court and lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests when he was old. Alive, right? By the way, this person is still your Ah Lang's master! ”
"Master?" Li Boyu was surprised, "But why has Zeng Ah Lang never mentioned it?" ”
The old eunuch continued to laugh and said: "I think that Pei Min is also a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, so he naturally doesn't want to be mentioned. Back then, Li Ke and Pei Min were friends for eight worships, and they met for ten years to fight again, but it's a pity... Li Ke passed away first, so he let Li Bai worship Pei Min as a teacher, in order to fight again for Li Ke and divide again! ”
"And what about the end result?" Li Tianran answered.
"The end result? Then I have to ask your Ah Lang Hello, I don't know! The old eunuch laughed.
Speaking of this, the three of them couldn't help but be quiet, the old eunuch told them these things really shocked them, their grandfather was such a hero, but that saint... It is indeed outrageous to be jealous of its ability and force it to live for half its life! Unexpectedly, Ah Lang still hid these things in his heart, and he never told them. When the old eunuch saw that they were no longer speech, he immediately got up and said slowly: "Eat something quickly, and in another hour, when it gets darker, I will send you into the palace!" ”
After some conversation just now, the three of them had already become respectful to the old eunuch, so they hurriedly bowed their hands and responded, "Mr. Xie." The three of them didn't say anything, just lowered their heads and were busy eating, and afterwards they each leaned against the wall and took a nap, taking advantage of the gap to rest for a while, and the palace was not sure what would happen for a while!
An hour passed quickly, the old eunuch entered the house gently, the three of them saw this and quickly straightened up, the old eunuch handed over three clothes, all of which were the clothes of the little eunuch, and said, "Hurry up and change in, ready to go." The three of them did not dare to delay, and immediately changed their clothes in the house and went out with them. A carriage has already been parked at the door, and the old eunuch instructed: "The old man will not go together, the carriage will send the three of you to the side gate of the Huaqing Palace, and the driver will explain at that time, you don't have to say much, although entering the palace is, tomorrow at dawn, there will be a car outside the same door!" Remember, don't go viviant, otherwise you won't be able to recover, and the old will never be saved! ”
Li Tianran immediately replied: "Old man, we heard clearly!" ”
The old eunuch glanced at Li Tianran, and continued to whisper: "Ling Zun is also a hero, the old man admires, if he is safe this time, please tell Ling Zun that he can come here for a drink if he has time, poetry, wine and swordsmanship, and the old man also wants to ask for a lesson or two!" ”
Li Tianran arched his hand again and responded: "Old man, please rest assured, I will tell you in the future!" With that, he turned around and got straight into the car, and the carriage slowly began to move.
After walking not far, Li Tianran suddenly heard the singing sound outside the carriage, out of curiosity, he gently lifted the corner of the curtain in the carriage and looked out of the carriage, this glance couldn't help but make him dumbfounded. Compared with the daytime, this Pingkang Fang has changed its appearance! The delicate restaurants on both sides of the street have long been hung with red lanterns, and there are countless women standing upstairs and downstairs by the railing, most of them richly dressed, with their hair in elegant buns, beautiful and incomprehensible! The sound of singing, guqin, and pipa comes and goes, which is pleasant! And both sides of this avenue are crowded with all kinds of small traders, all kinds of carriages, crowds of people coming and going, and the extreme prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is vividly reflected here!
Li Tianran was looking at it, and was suddenly torn off the curtain by Xiaoluo on the side, and she said angrily: "If you haven't seen enough, do you want me to find a familiar tavern for you to go in and have a few drinks?" So as not to be in a hurry in the car? ”
Li Boyu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, but Li Tianran looked a little embarrassed, and after thinking for a long time, he replied: "Xiaoluo, you misunderstood, I just... I've never been here in my life, some... Curious, I don't look at it! With that, he hurriedly leaned into the car and pretended to close his eyes to recuperate! Seeing this, Xiaoluo stopped talking and leaned on the other side of the carriage.
The carriage is still moving slowly forward in the crowded streets...
