Chapter 12: Three Treasures
When Li Haochen woke up, it was already early in the morning of the next day, Wei Zheng did not come to the room where he was, there was breakfast brought to Li Haochen by the soldiers, Li Haochen was able to go to the ground after a day of recuperation, but it was still a little unnatural to walk, and thanks to his body, it was still quite strong, otherwise such a serious injury would really not be good for a while.
Li Haochen finished eating, then out of the barracks, since the prince let him rest for more time, he did not rush to the military department to report, but turned to Chang'an Street, wandered around, Li Haochen has no purpose, just don't want to lie in bed, he walked on the street of Chang'an, thinking about the things in the past few days after his rebirth, and he was also overwhelmed with emotion for a while, in just a few days, he has changed from a big-headed soldier who no one cares about, to a senior general with real power on the fourth grade of the Tang Dynasty, all this is like a dream for Li Haochen.
Li Haochen sighed as he walked, and suddenly a person kneeling at his feet said: "Engong is above, little old man kowtows to you!" ”
Li Haochen was shocked when he heard this, and took a closer look at the old man who was kneeling on the ground, it was the old man who was knocked down by Li Tai, the king of the guard, a few days ago, and Li Tai had not beaten him with a horsewhip, Li Haochen hurriedly helped the old man, but he was injured in the back, and when he bowed his waist slightly, it hurt like a heart, Li Haochen gritted his teeth and helped the old man up, gasped and said: "The old man please get up quickly, do it with your hands, the old man must not be like this, it hurts the younger generation!" Li Haochen still thinks of modern people in his bones, how could he let someone who can be his grandfather kneel for him.
So pull up the old man and say lightly that what he did was just something that a normal person should do, and there was no need to thank him.
The old man looked at Li Haochen's painful expression when he helped him, and he seemed to know something, and he seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Engong has an injury on his back!" Don't move around, so as not to leave a hidden disease. After the old man finished speaking, he paused and said, "Little old man, look at Engong, you are a general!" I've been looking for you for several days, and I see that you haven't appeared again, maybe it's because you're entangled in military affairs, maybe it's that the little old man's sincerity has moved the heavens, so that I have the opportunity to see Engong again! ”
Li Haochen was very curious when he heard this, he didn't know what this old man was looking for him, maybe it was a difficult life, Li Haochen could also understand, thinking that he could help him, so he said to the old man: "My name is Li Haochen, you can call me Haochen, old man, what are you looking for me for?" Is there something going on? Tell me and I'll see if I can help you! ”
The old man listened to Li Haochen's words, and his heart was even more firm in his decision, and he did not return to Li Haochen's words, but asked again: "En...... Haochen, tell Xiao Lao'er first, are you a general? The old man still wanted to be called Engong, but when he thought about Li Haochen's words just now, he was embarrassed to disobey Li Haochen, so he changed his name to Haochen.
Li Haochen was also very surprised when he heard this, thinking that the old man's difficulties might only be able to help the general, he thought to himself, just since this old man let him meet, it is fate, if you can help, help him. Although Li Haochen is not a person with such noble character, he still has a little kindness in his heart.
Thinking like this, Li Haochen opened his mouth and said: "Old man, I am a general, I am the general of the Tang Dynasty, and the commander of the left guard of the prince's East Palace!" Well, tell me what you have to say! ”
The old man nodded when he heard this, and then said, "Haochen, if you believe in Xiao Lao'er, you will come with me!" Regardless of Li Haochen's reaction, he walked directly to the front.
Li Haochen thought that the old man might have something unspeakable, so he also followed to see what happened to the old man.
Li Haochen followed the old man out of Chang'an City, not far out of Chang'an City, he saw the endless barrenness, at this time the old man turned around and told Li Haochen that there was a maze in front of him, let Li Haochen follow him, Li Haochen had doubts about the identity of the old man for the first time, he knew the maze and formation, for example, the Three Kingdoms period was famous for Zhuge Liang's eight formations, that is, a maze composed of stones, ordinary people do not know the way out, it is difficult to get out again.
But there was a barren land in front of him, and Li Haochen didn't know what the old man was talking about. But he followed the footsteps of the old man, the old man's steps were very strange, as if he was spinning in circles, and after about a quarter of an hour, the old man turned to Li Haochen and said, "It's here!" ”
Although Li Haochen had thousands of questions on the road, he didn't ask, he chose to believe the old man, but at this moment, he had to speak, he looked at the old man and asked, "Where is the old man?" What did you bring me here for? And how do you know about the maze? Who the hell are you? ”
The old man did not answer Li Haochen's series of questions, but said: "Haochen, go and give my ancestors incense!" ”
When Li Haochen heard this, he was a little unhappy in his heart, after all, what is the relationship between your ancestors and me, but looking at the old man, thinking that the dead are great, Li Haochen did not refuse, at this time he found that in front of him, there was a white marble stele one foot high, and there was an eight-foot high white marble stele in the back, needless to say that Li Haochen also knew that this was two tombstones, but who had such a big deal made Li Haochen curious, but what was certain was that the identity of the owner of this tomb was definitely extraordinary, he stepped forward to take a closer look, but it scared Li Haochen, Because these two tombstones are written:
"The Tomb of Wenhou Lu Bu of the Great Han"
"The Tomb of the Great Han Zhonglang General Gao Shun"
Li Haochen, who is familiar with historical classics, naturally knows who Lu Bu and Gao Shun are.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, during the period of the hegemony of the heroes, the first fierce general, holding the Fang Tian painting halberd, the red rabbit at the foot is known as the "flying general", when some people call the red rabbit in the Lu Bu horse, Lu Bu regards himself very highly and regards the heroes of the world as nothing, it is said that he has the courage of the overlord, but unfortunately the defeat was killed by Cao Cao.
Gao Shun Lu Bu's Zhonglang general, innocent, and majestic, not good at drinking, commanded 700 personal soldiers known as trapped in the camp, every battle must win, once defeated Cao Cao's general Xiahou Dun, and later Shu Han Zhaolie Emperor Liu Bei, after Lu Bu was defeated together with Lu Bu was killed by Cao Cao.
It is said that Cao Cao later buried the two of them, but he didn't expect the cemetery of the two to be here, but Li Haochen remembered that in the era when he lived, he didn't hear where the tombs of Lu Bu and Gao Shun were found.
These two people are heroes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Li Haochen is naturally very respectful in his heart, according to what the old man said, respectfully put a stick of incense on the two, knelt down and said: "Tang Zhongwu General Li Haochen visited Lu Hou and General Gao" After speaking, he respectfully kowtowed.
Then he got up and hugged his fist at the old man and said, "It turns out that the old man is a descendant of Wenhou, Haochen is rude!" ”
The old man listened to Li Haochen's words, and simply told Li Haochen that Cao Cao killed the two of them back then, and felt that the two were heroes in the world, so he ordered a thick burial, and let his descendants guard the tomb, also known as the Xuanshi set up a maze, so that the two tombs were saved from the war, but about the maze, Li Haochen has figured it out, but it is just some tricks, hiding the underground hole, they just turned around in place, in fact, they approached the underground passage along the steps, although Li Haochen saw it clearly, he really couldn't do it, It can be seen how clever the people were back then.
The old man gave Li Haochen a brief explanation of the origin of this cemetery, and then told Li Haochen to wait for a while and he would come, and after a while, the old man took out a one-foot box and asked Li Haochen to open it himself.
Li Haochen opened the box and saw a halberd of one zhang and two feet. The painting rod Fang Tian seems to have the spirit of the eight desolate fire dragons, and there is a sense of burning when touched; The sharp tip of the halberd is full of murderous aura. Looking at the appearance of this weapon, Li Haochen also knew that this must be Lu Wenhou's Fang Tian painting halberd, and then looked at the two books placed under the halberd, namely "The Peerless Halberd Method" and "The Art of War". Li Haochen was more excited than seeing the first two items after looking at the "Art of War", this is Gao Shun's trapping camp training method, which has been lost for a long time, with him Li Haochen is confident that he can quickly form a trapping camp, which is also what he needs most at the moment. But a gentleman doesn't take away the beauty of people.
After Li Haochen saw it, he put them all in the box and returned them to the old man.
Seeing this, the old man said, "Doesn't the general look down on these things?" ”
Li Haochen hurriedly shook his head and said: "The old man laughed, if you get one of these gods, you are already an existence against the sky, let alone three!" But a gentleman does not take away the love of others, these three treasures are the relics of your ancestors, how can I keep them for myself! ”
When the old man heard this, he smiled and said, "The general's words are bad! The reason why the treasure is called a treasure is because in the hands of people, such as me, old people, having this treasure will only make the treasure dust! Today, I will give these three treasures to the general, hoping that the general can restore them to their former glory! ”
Li Haochen thought that these things were indeed what he wanted now, so he no longer shirked, saying that he would definitely repay the old man for his gift in the future, but the old man smiled and said nothing. Tell Li Haochen that you can go directly to Chang'an City along the secret passage ahead, but this secret passage can only go out and not enter, so that Li Haochen can go out after making sure that it is safe outside. Li Haochen also knew the truth that the husband was innocent and guilty, just now they went out of the city, and it was difficult to ensure that they would not be discovered by the people of King Qin, so it would definitely be safer to go out of the secret road now than to go out directly, so he hugged his fist at the old man, and walked along the secret road ahead.
