Seeing that Li Yuan in the coffin was gone, Li Xiu was also so frightened that he opened his mouth and was about to call someone, but Pei Lin next to him covered his mouth and whispered: "The horse is in a hurry, the emperor is here!" ”

Hearing Pei Lian say this, Li Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, he saw two people walking out behind the curtain on the side of the high platform, and when Li Xiu saw these two people, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, because these two people looked exactly the same. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

No need to ask, these two people are naturally Li Yuan and his stand-in, presumably when the fire was discovered just now, everyone in the hall was attracted to the outside of the hall, and this stand-in also took advantage of this gap to slip in, after all, with Pei Lin leading the way, it was not difficult for him to get to the mourning hall.

In addition, seeing Li Yuan standing in front of him alive, although Li Xiuming knew that Li Yuan was faking his death, he was finally relieved now, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute Li Yuan.

"No need to be polite, I just woke up just now, and I heard footsteps outside, so I had to hide." Li Yuan was also relieved to see Li Xiu and Pei Lin at this time, and then said in a low voice.

But now is not the time to be polite, I saw that after Li Yuan finished speaking, he turned his head with his eyes and glanced at the stand-in next to him, speaking of which, although this stand-in looks almost exactly the same as Li Yuan, but the temperament is very different, and the familiar one can be recognized at a glance, of course, this is when he is alive, if he is dead, I am afraid it is really difficult to find the difference.

This stand-in is a dead man that Li Yuan has prepared a long time ago, this life does not belong to him at all, at this time, seeing Li Yuan's signal, he immediately took off his clothes and exchanged with Li Yuan, speaking of which, Li Yuan only wore one underwear, because the shroud he wore after "death" was layer after layer, and the rest wrapped the person into a big zongzi, and the living person could not move at all when he wore so many clothes, so the first thing he did after waking up was that the clothes on his body were taken off.

After exchanging clothes, this person who didn't even have a name immediately jumped into the coffin, and then with the help of Pei Lian, he put on the shroud layer by layer, and when the last dragon robe was put on, he couldn't move at all when he lay in the coffin, and finally saw Pei Lin take out a medicine bottle from his arms, open it and put it next to the mouth of the stand-in, but the other party drank it without hesitation.

After a while, I saw that the face of the stand-in changed, and then the eyes were slowly closed, and the originally undulating chest slowly calmed down, and his face became more and more pale, which made Li Xiu next to him also show an unbearable look, and finally twisted his head to the side, but this was the other party's own choice, and he had no reason to stop it.

After a while, Li Yuan's stand-in died in the coffin, and then I saw Pei Lin help him tidy up his clothes again, and even took out a small bag from his arms and put on makeup for the stand-in, making him look almost no different from Li Yuan.

In fact, after a person dies, the skin and muscles will change, so that the appearance of the dead person will also undergo some changes, although these changes are not big, but they are enough to cover up the slight difference between Li Yuan and the stand-in, coupled with Pei Lian's careful modification, unless the stand-in is stripped naked to find some features on the body, it is impossible to distinguish it, but Li Yuan is the emperor, I am afraid that even Li Shimin does not have the courage to strip his father's body to check.

After an almost identical Li Yuan appeared in the coffin, but Li Xiu suddenly became worried at this time, because just now he and Pei Lin came in, and the stand-in slipped in taking advantage of the chaos, but now they have become three people, although there are not many people guarding the spirit outside, but they are not small, and there are guards patrolling outside the hall, how can the two of them take such a big living person as Li Yuan out?

However, Li Xiu's worries were obviously superfluous, but after dealing with the stand-in, Pei Lin took Li Yuan quietly to a corner of the Stopping Palace, the entire Stopping Spirit Hall was wide outside and narrow inside, and the coffin stopped at the narrowest end, and the ground was also paved with heavy stone slabs, but after Pei Lin came to the corner, he lowered his head and looked for it carefully, and after a while, he saw that he pulled out a thin rope from the gap in the stone slab.

"Pony help me!" Pei Lin said in a low voice at this time, Li Xiu also hurriedly stepped forward when he heard this, and then the two of them pulled the rope with all their might, and this rope was not made of what material, although it looked thin, it was extremely tough, and it couldn't be pulled no matter how it was pulled.

"Magnetic~" With a slight friction sound, the heavy stone slab on the ground was pulled up by them, and under the stone slab, a black hole was revealed, but this hole looked very rough, and the soil was also very new, and it seemed that the excavation time was not long.

Seeing the hole in the ground, Li Yuan's face also showed joy, and he nodded to Pei Lin and Li Xiu at the moment, and then jumped into the hole, Li Xiu thought that this hole was very deep, but he didn't expect Li Yuan to jump in and show a head, which made him stunned, after all, this hole is too shallow?

However, Pei Lin didn't seem to be surprised at all, after Li Yuan squatted down, he immediately put down the slate slowly, and then the rope that was exposed was also pulled in by Li Yuan inside, and Pei Lin took out a small bag from his sleeve at this time, and after opening it, it turned out to be a small bag of dirt inside, and then I saw him carefully sprinkle the soil on the gap of the slate, and smoothed it little by little, until it was completely impossible to see that the slate had been pried up.

Although Li Xiu wanted to ask where this underground cave leads, how can Li Yuan get out? But now is not the time to talk about this, and they have been in for a while, if they don't go out, it may attract suspicion, so the two of them tidied up their clothes, and then they stepped to the front, only to see that the princess Changguang and others who were guarding the spirit were also there, and it was late at this time, everyone looked very sleepy, and no one noticed their movements inside.

Seeing the situation outside, Li Xiu was also secretly relieved, Pei Lian was at ease, and he was not in a hurry to leave here, but said a few words to Princess Changguang and others, and Princess Changguang They also respected Pei Lin very much, and also asked about Li Yuan's body, and the answer he got was of course safe and sound.

In the end, Pei Lin made an excuse to inspect outside, and then got up to say goodbye, and Li Xiu also sent him off in person, and after leaving the palace gate, Li Xiu saw that there was no one around, so he opened his mouth and asked: "Pei Gong, where does that hole lead, and how does the Emperor Taishang leave?" ”

Pei Lin looked around while walking with his hands behind his back at this time, and then replied in a low voice: "This Soul Stopping Hall has not been used once for decades, it is naturally the most deserted place in the palace, and there is usually only one Guo Neishou who is responsible for here, but this Guo Neishou used to be a celebrity around His Majesty, and in the former Sui Dynasty, he was the spy placed by His Majesty beside Yang Guang, and he made a lot of contributions to His Majesty, and later His Majesty lost power, and Guo Neishou was also demoted to the Soul Stopping Palace, and that hole was dug out little by little by Guo Neishou for more than half a year!" ”

Li Xiu was also shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect that there was such a hidden secret, but then he couldn't figure it out, after all, there is only one person in Guo Neishi, even if it takes more than half a year, I'm afraid he won't be able to dig a long hole, right?

Pei Lin seemed to see the question in Li Xiu's heart, and saw him speak again at this time: "Actually, the hole is indeed not long, it only chiseled through the foundation of the Stopping Spirit Temple, which can allow a person to pass through the hole in the hall to the outside of the hall, and on the other side of the wall is the residence of the original Guo Neishi, Your Majesty is also staying there temporarily, very safe!" ”

Li Xiu showed a clear expression when he heard this, no wonder the hole just now was so shallow, it turned out that it was just a hole dug out of the foundation under the ground, so that Li Yuan's entry and exit would not be easy to be discovered, and maybe even the stand-in before entered the hall from that hole, of course, this is not important, the important thing is that Li Yuan can finally leave the hall, and as long as he leaves the Soul Stopping Palace, Pei Lin will have a way to transport Li Yuan out.

However, at this moment, Li Xiu suddenly felt that Pei Lian's expression was also a little sad when he mentioned that Guo Nei, and there was a bit of ominous aura in and out of his words, which made him can't help but ask: "...... that Guo Nei waiter?"

"Dead, just at the time of the Spring Festival, Guo Neishou was found dead in his bed, he is old, and his health has always been bad, so no one doubts when he died, and now His Majesty has thought that he has taken care of the Emperor Taishang for many years, and let people give him a small funeral, which can be regarded as a thick burial!" Pei Lin said sadly at this time, it seems that he and that Guo Neishou not only know each other, but also may have some friendship.

"Another dead man!" Li Xiu couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, he didn't have to guess to know that that Guo Neishou must have committed suicide, because only if he died, no one would discover the secret in the Soul Stopping Palace, and Li Xiu was sure that it wouldn't be long before the hole that Li Yuan jumped off would be filled by Pei Lian, and no one would know about it anymore, and Li Yuan's fake death and escape was only known to him, Pei Lian, and Li Yuan himself.

"Okay, go back, Your Majesty, I will place him in a safe place, let him take care of his body first, and after the funeral, then I need to contact the people of the Zhang family and send His Majesty to the Americas!" Pei Lin thanked Li Xiu at this time, although the whole thing was planned by him, but without Li Xiu's help, his plan would not have been implemented at all.

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye it is the first seven days, according to folklore, on this day the soul of the deceased will return to his body, so the children of the deceased must stay in the mourning hall, and there is an important custom, that is, let the relatives and friends of the deceased look at the remains, and at the same time the coffin will also be nailed to death on this day.

However, this also made Li Xiu worry again, after all, there was a fake Li Yuan lying in the coffin, he was really afraid that someone would find something, of course, he could pass this hurdle in this way, and when the coffin was nailed to death, this matter would be completely successful!
