The northeast of Chang'an City used to be the most gorgeous and wealthy place. The residents of the www.biquge.info near the palace were so noble that the central government of the former Tang Dynasty no longer disliked the filth in the fang area and rushed into the inner courtyard of the palace, so they allowed each square area here to open the south gate and the north gate.

This is the case in Anxingfang District, which used to be the place of longing for dignitaries and nobles, and even the rammed earth on the walls around the district seems to have a kind of golden connotation, and for the middle family, it is simply the "promised land" in a dream......

However, since the rebellion of Huangchao, Chang'an City has been looted several times, and of course it has become the object of looting, coupled with the impact of the former Tang Palace ban when it was burned by fire, Yongchang, Changle, Daning, the closer to the imperial city the area will be destroyed more completely.

Finally, less than fifty years later, Anxingfang District was completely unrecognizable, and instead it became a dwelling place for the poor, with clusters of low-slung houses in the east and west, and the stench and dirtiness of the ......

At this time, it was night, but there was a neat-looking hut in the middle of Anxing Fang, and a man in his thirties lived in it.

"Li Daguan," a cripple at the gate of the fang district suddenly knocked on the door of his house, "someone outside has come to find fault again." ”

"I'm not a Li official, I've said it many times, just call me Li Yao!" Without waiting for the cripple to reply, he drew a long sword and stood guard at the door.

After a while, there was a sound of heavy footsteps outside, followed by a "clang", and the door of the house had been kicked open. A bearded man was staring at him.

Seeing that he was holding a cooked copper sledgehammer in his hand, Li Yao couldn't help but sneer: "Hmph...... How many times is this month? He neither made a gesture nor clenched his sword, but withdrew his sword back into its sheath with a "click", and then turned his back to him.

The bearded guest behind him observed the inside of the house, and knew that the space here was small and he couldn't turn around, so of course he had to compete with his strength, which would be beneficial to his tall man. So he crossed his eyebrows and bared his teeth and aimed the copper hammer at Li Yao.

The bearded man shouted angrily, that is, he had calculated that he had his back to himself and had nowhere to dodge, as long as he pestled the copper hammer hard, then the other party would instantly break his bones and tendons.

Li Yao didn't react, seeing that the copper hammer was about to hit him in the back of the heart when he spoke, suddenly his flexible waist like a water snake slammed to the left like a rubber band, and he actually let the copper hammer pass like this, and the bearded guest couldn't contain his momentum, so he had to let his body rush forward with the cooked copper hammer.

At this moment of lightning, Li Yao turned around sharply to the right, and his right hand, which was originally holding the hilt of the sword on the left side, suddenly threw out a strong swing, and the sword made a crisp sound when it was unsheathed......

The sharp sword in Li Yao's hand spontaneously let out a dragon-like roar, and this move he could still use his strength when his waist was twisted, which simply brought the essence of sword drawing and sword drawing to the point of being superb......

He shook his right arm slightly, and the sword that had drunk blood had been reinserted into the sheath, and Li Yao sneered: "I forgot to ask his name this time, hum...... I have a little regret ......."

Suddenly, there was a sound of clapping, and a person behind him made a loud sound:

"Wow...... Sure enough, it's a good swordsmanship! Admire, admire. ”

Li Yao slowly turned his head and saw a young man with a black face looking at him expressionlessly.

"Daguan Li, how many murders have you committed here?"

Li Yao smiled and said: "Since you are wearing an official uniform, don't you know that this dynasty follows the "Tang Law"? A person who enters a person, a vehicle or a boat to pull a person without a reason and wants to break the law shall be killed at the same time and shall not be guilty; Those who enter people's homes without reason at night will be flogged forty, and those who are killed by the master will not be counted! ”

The black-faced man looked around at the surrounding environment, and the whole scene was indeed in line with the regulations on unlimited defense in the imperial court regulations, and he couldn't help but smile and nodded: "Yes, yes, the big official is a person who has been a judge, and he is really familiar with the art of criminal law." ”

"Who are you? What is the purpose of being here? Could it be the name of the sentence in Chang'an City? ”

"I'm here, but I want to ask for a few important treasures from the hands of Li Daguan."

Li Yao raised his head to face the beams in the house, and snorted for a long time haha:

"Haha...... Good! Good! There were two of them in one day! He paused, but then showed a worried expression, "Hey...... The blood stains of the two people, it was really difficult to clean up. ”

Remembering that the bearded man just now died before he had time to report his name, Li Yao asked: "I don't want to kill the nameless, let's report it first." ”

The other party nodded: "Okay, under the surname Zhao, the single name is a universal general character, and the cursive character is flat, and the current position is an officer of the Yongxing Army." ”

"Humph!" Li Yao sneered disdainfully, "It turned out to be the ...... for Zhao Siwan, the Demon King, to sign the little ghost."

Zhao Pu smiled and didn't refute him. It turned out that Zhao Pu had been secretly relying on flying arrows to pass on the official army, but Guo Congyi outside the city had repeatedly failed to follow his plans, so he felt more and more that it was useless to stay in Chang'an City, and there were more than two or three people who doubted him, and he was afraid that he would be exposed sooner or later in the long run.

It just so happened that in the past few days, the reinforcements sent by Wang Jixun, a general under Li Shouzhen, repeatedly harassed behind the Yongxing camp, and Guo Congyi was overwhelmed, so he had to withdraw his troops and run for his life in the area from Lishan to Xinfeng, so as to put his main energy behind him. In this way, the siege of Chang'an by the official army was much looser, and Zhao Siwan could not only take the opportunity to take the black-faced army out of the city to fight grass and valley during the summer harvest to alleviate the problem of food shortage, but also made it possible to keep in close contact with Li Shouzhen again. Zhao Pu took the opportunity to automatically ask for help, claiming that he "thought it would take care of" to Li Shouzhen in the river, and Zhao Siwan thought it was feasible, so he was approved.

Before Zhao Pu left the city, he first went to Anxingfang District to see Li Yao......

"Draw your sword," Li Yao put his hand behind his back, "Seeing that you look like a dusty servant all the way, let you draw your sword first!" ”

He added a few words with confidence on his face: "I have killed eleven people in the past month with this trick alone, I think you have sometimes lurked on the left and near, and you have seen it a few times in the dark, right?" Hmph, but although I am prepared, I am afraid that I may not be able to avoid this trick. ”

With a "bang", Zhao Pu really pulled out the sword on his waist.

Li Yao saw that his sword drawing was slightly sluggish, and couldn't help laughing, just wanted to taunt him a few words, but suddenly saw the other party pull a slightly clumsy sword flower, but put the long sword horizontally and rested on the side of his neck, which was a posture to kill himself.

"What do you do?" Li Yao's mouth opened wide.

"Li Daguan, the swordsmanship under you can't win against you, and you can't ask for the treasure you hold, so it's useless to live."

Li Yao laughed and said, "Haha, it's ridiculous! What does it have to do with me that you wipe your neck yourself? ”

"Well," Zhao Pu nodded, "In that case, I have no choice but to go to the Nine Springs to meet the Great Tang Zhenguan Holy Monarch." ”

"Wait a minute!" When Li Yao heard the words "Tang Zhenguan Shengjun", he hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Don't be busy with self-judgment first, you better make it clear for me first......

"Li Daguan," Zhao Pu still didn't put down his sword, "the day before yesterday, the black-faced army sent Qiu thieves to excavate the Qianling Tomb, but they carried out the holy body of Emperor Taizong Wen in the Zhaoling Tomb, and took it separately, and the rich merchants in the city called it the 'Zhenguan Treasure Corpse', and they scattered a lot of money to rush to it, and the Holy Body of Emperor Taizong was scattered several times. ”

"Yes, you go on."

"Yes, Zhao once heard that after Li Daguan, the seventh son of the Tang Dynasty Sect - King of Han Li Zhen, although his family was in the middle of the road, he could never bear to hide his ancestor's body in the rich eunuch and be rewarded and humiliated, so he sold his wealth and collected the scattered royal body of Emperor Taizong, so that his wife and children left you, and you yourself had to live in this humble room."

Li Yao nodded, and said with a straight face: "In order to protect the Holy Body, Li is willing to abandon his family and ruin his feelings, and he has no complaints!" ”

Zhao Pu thought of Li Shimin's fame, but after his death, he suffered this great shame, and his heart ached. However, at this time, I was a little relieved to think that the Li family actually had such a descendant who adhered to loyalty and filial piety.

"Zhao found the skull of Zhenguan Holy Body, and was also moved by the name of loyalty and filial piety of Li Daguan, and was heartbroken for the Eighteen Emperors of the Tang Dynasty to suffer several times.

"Wait! Mr. Zeping, quickly put down the sword, "The Holy Body of Taizong obtained by Li Yao happened to be missing this skull, and he hurriedly stopped Zhao Pu at this time, "The Holy Body of Emperor Taizong is in the cellar behind this house. We have something to say. ”

At this time, Zhao Pu thought to himself: "This trick of pretending to be dead really works!" ”

Li Yao took out the baggage containing the treasure body of Emperor Taizong from the cellar, and Zhao Pu said that the skull of the Zhenguan Holy Body was on his body. He respectfully put Li Shimin's skull into it, so that the body was roughly collected. Then the two of them first knelt down and bowed nine times to him, and then they got up and continued to speak.

Zhao Pu took out another furoshiki from his bag, but when he opened it, it was a bloody human head.

"Great official, this is the Faqiu thief who had shot Taizong's skull before. I killed this man in secret and offered it with me. ”

Li Yao was furious and kicked him out of the door: "This kind of thing really dirties my house, when we bury Emperor Taizongwen, use it as a memorial!" ”

When Zhao Pu heard the word "we", he knew that Li Yao had already regarded him as his own, and he knew that the matter was already halfway through, so he hurriedly showed Li Yao the note left by An Yougui and Qiao Shouwen that proved that he was not betrayed.

Zhao Pu knew that Li Yao was guarding the bones of his ancestors, as if a night walker was holding a large gold brick, and from time to time all kinds of people would come to snatch it, which was overwhelming. Now that Chang'an is controlled by Zhao Sijuan and his party, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to be released from the city, so Li Yao can't go out of the city to bury him in person. In this way, the Holy Body of Taizong is a treasure to others, but objectively it is a big trouble for Li Daguan, who lives in Anxingfang District.

Zhao Pu thought carefully before coming here: as long as Li Yao meets a trustworthy person who can be trusted, then this person is like Ganlin in a long drought, but has become the savior of Li Daguan's people.

However, there is another trick in this matter, that is, after all, he still doesn't feel at ease to completely hand over Taizong's bones to others, so Li Yao's only choice is to simply pawn this last residence to the businessman he knew before, and then take all the Taizong Emperor Holy Body, and walk with Zhao Pu, a person who can go out of the city with a token, although Zhao will be followed by a team of Zhao Siwan's personal soldiers after leaving the city, but after all, Zhao is a dignified Yongxing military capital, find a place to bury the bones, they still won't stop it.

"Li Daguan, in the future, let's choose the opportunity to go to the vicinity of Zhaoling to find a treasure place that gathers the essence of heaven and earth and place the holy body for the time being, it will not be a problem."

After saying this, Zhao Pu knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, not only did he find the bones of Taizong scattered among the people, and he was able to protect the holy body and find a place to be buried, but also got the help of a swordsman who killed one person in ten steps, and the days of diving into the river in the future would be better............

Author's note: See "Shaw Brothers Wenjianlu": "King Zhao Han (Zhao Pu) was a guest in Chang'an, and Taizong's bones were buried under the Zhaoling Tomb, and his surname was hidden in the skull, which was very difficult to find. See also Jiang Xiu's "Jianglin Magazine" in the Song Dynasty also has this record, when Zhao Pu sought the holy body of Tang Taizong, it was in the rebellion of the three feudatories, that is, before he defected to Liu Ci.
