Guo Yu nodded, indicating that he understood.

I also heard Guo Yao preach, in fact, Emperor Xuanzong, Emperor Suzong, Dali Temple, etc., have begun to send people to inquire about this matter. Because, five days ago, when the chaos was quelled, Bian Lingcheng, who was captured by the rebels when Tongguan fell, was rescued.

Li Jiao, the king of Guangping, saw the traitor Bian Lingcheng, and immediately wanted to kill him to encourage the momentum of the three armies.

At that time, the fifteenth army of An Lushan forced Tongguan with the strength of tigers and wolves, and it was in danger. Bian Lingcheng falsely accused Emperor Xuanzong of the generals of the Tongguan garrison, Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing. Before the tens of thousands of defenders of Tongguan, regardless of the shouting of injustices of the * soldiers, they killed Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing with all their might, so that the army's morale was disheartened, and even caused the rout of the Tongguan defenders later. Therefore, Bian Lingcheng has been hated by many * soldiers.

At this time, Bian Lingcheng was already delirious, to be precise, he was already crazy. Of course, people don't understand why he went crazy. It's because I was taken captive by the rebels and went crazy in fear. People mostly guess so.

Bian Lingcheng is different from Wang Wei and others. In An Lushan's eyes, he is just a eunuch, and he doesn't even have the value of window dressing. For three years, he has been living the life of a prisoner, and he is already as thin as wood, covered with scabies, and muttering incoherently.

The soldiers who inspected the captives said that when they searched for the rebel prisoners, the man saw them, took off his tattered pants in public, took out a gold medal from *, and shouted at them in a crazy and stupid manner, saying that he was Bian Lingcheng, the supervisor of the garrison of the Tang Tong Pass, and wanted to see their commander.

The lieutenant in charge didn't dare to hide it, so he forcibly poured water on the man and washed his body, and then took him to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Along the way, Ling Cheng muttered stupidly, coming to the Chinese army's big tent. Bian Lingcheng saw Guo Ziyi with silver armor and beautiful hair and floating chest at a glance, and for a while he mistook it for Gao Xianzhi.

He suddenly burst out laughing and shouted, "Hahahaha, Xianzhi, you must finally listen to my advice." You are finally willing to see me, serve the young master, and work together to restore the country. Hahahaha. Senzhi, fast, fast, fast. It's still too late, hurry up and follow me to Ma Weiyi, capture and kill Xuanzong's old faint monarch, and occupy his Li Tang's country. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be angry and shocked. I wanted to ask a few words, so I killed this traitor who misled the country in front of a group of soldiers, but I didn't expect him to say these words by mistake.

Li Jiao, the king of Guangping, immediately ordered the border order to be strictly guarded and ordered to go down to keep it secret. Then the generals were dismissed, leaving only Li Qi, the king of Jianning, and Guo Ziyi, the deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses.

Li Li and Li Qi are both extremely talented and insightful people. At the beginning, An Lushan's soldiers committed Tongguan, and they also supported avoiding the enemy's edge, sticking to Tongguan, and waiting for the opportunity.

However, in just a few days, first Bian Lingcheng killed Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi, and then, Ge Shuhan led Geshu to ride 200,000 troops to guard Tongguan, and Yang Guozhong made an obstruction from it, and encouraged Xuanzong to order Ge Shuhan to take the initiative.

Ge Shuhan hindered Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing's previous experience, and attacked with a nest, fell into an ambush of the rebels, and the whole army was annihilated. The loss of Tongguan directly led to the fall of Chang'an, and it can also be said that it directly led to the fall of Datang.

At that time, the two were extremely confused about Xuanzong's decision. Therefore, in Ma Weiyi, the two abandoned Emperor Xuanzong and followed their father, the crown prince Li Heng, to Lingwu in the north, and then gathered soldiers and horses from all over the world to crusade against the thieves.

Unexpectedly, there is such a mystery behind this. Bian Lingcheng's crazy words at least show that in addition to An Lushan's group of rebels, there is another force surging in secret, and it has even reached the power center of the Tang Empire.

Bian Lingcheng is just a pawn of this force, but he can control the imperial power and kill the commander in battle, so that hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out, and the imperial capital fell and the Li Tang Dynasty was overturned.

Who are these people? Who are the young masters in his mouth? Even Gao Xianzhi, the general of the Right Yulin, has been in fornication with them, and Prime Minister Yang Guozhong has used them for them, so what kind of power have they gained in the court? Although Xuanzong has retired as the Emperor Taishang, does his father, Emperor Suzong, now also have these forces in the court? How much does my father know about this matter?

The three of them thought for a long time, and there was a faint cold sweat behind them, just like a person whose eyes were covered, walking on the edge of the cliff at night, walking for a long time, and now they were able to take off their blindfolds and see the abyss under their feet.

It is a three-person decision, and it is necessary to act in two compartments, one bright and one dark. Secretly, Guo Ziyi arranged for a person who made everyone suspicious, and took Bian Lingcheng and Gao Xianzhi as clues to investigate extensively to find out.

Guo Xuan, a famous swinger in Chang'an, was chosen.

Guo Ziyi has eight sons. Da Lang and Erlang are quiet and serious, both civil and military; Sanlang, Shilang, and Goro are brave and resourceful in martial arts, and the two young sons are still young, but they are also smart and studious.

Only Guo Huan, at the age of fourteen or fifteen, secretly ran out to wander around the West and East markets, laughing with those who were orchids and playing with children who went to the rivers and lakes to perform their arts.

In short, whether it is a warlock, a monk, a witch or a god, a dancer in a foreign workshop, a variety of craftsmen in Shaofu Temple, a merchant camel master from the Western Regions, or a missionary apostle from Persia, he can get along with the gentleman who teaches or not.

Over the years, it has gradually gotten better, and it is also a good Buddha, a good way, a good tea, and a good poem, so that I can drink and write poems with the singer, and I can drink and fight with some Jianghu men, and I have learned a strange thing. Most of the people in Chang'an City know about this swinger, but they almost forget his name.

Knowing the son is more than the father. Although he beats and scolds this prodigal son on weekdays, Guo Ziyi believes in his son. Although Guo Hua is prodigal and perverse, he has never had any real mistakes, he has his own thoughts, but he is not understood by others. Therefore, he proposed to hand over this matter to Guo Hua.

However, Guo Hua miscalculated one thing. That is, the wave of people who follow him during the day is not directed at him alone. In fact, they didn't know that Guo Hua had received the secret letter.

At least six hours after Guo Hua received the letter, the kings of Guangping and Jianning played the recitals of the imperial court before they were delivered to Chang'an. Today's imperial court seems to have long been like the east and west cities. As soon as the recital arrived, the news had already spread.

The Guangping Palace, Jianning Palace, and Guo Mansion in Chang'an were all immediately placed under surveillance. Guo Yao instructed the housekeeper Guo An to strengthen his vigilance, because he was also aware of those people in the shadows. Because Guo Hua was no longer in Chang'an at that time, it was the secret force that waited until Guo Hua returned to Chang'an before he followed him.

It also happened that Guo Hua's unrestrained temperament, although he found the trackers, he was not in a hurry to expose them, and kept them in the dark.

Guo Yao and Guo Yao talked for a long time. Guo Hua is very useful, not like he is talking about something earth-shattering, but like a brother talking about his heart. The eldest brother has always been serious, and it is indeed rare to talk to himself for a long time like this.

The sound sounded, and it was already the hour. Chang'an City began a night curfew. Guo Yu returned to his room for a while. He sat down in front of the bookcase, fiddling with the wooden bird again, thoughtfully.

At three o'clock, the noisy Chang'an City finally quieted down during the day. Sitting in front of the bookcase, occasionally the autumn wind blows, and the plantain on the side in front of the window makes a sound of rubbing in the wind.

Qibao finished serving the young master and washed up, and went back to his room to sleep. Guo Hua put away the wooden bird and put it in the Duobao Pavilion of a red sandalwood carved building. In the wooden cabinet near the head of the bed, there is a secret compartment, in which is placed a silver-gray dress, which is said to be woven with silver silk thread mixed with Huanhuo yarn on the snowy mountains of the Tibetan country.

Guo Hua put on a night suit, carried a knife, took a rhinoceros leather backpack, tiptoed outside the house, and jumped up into the room.

The rhinoceros leather backpack was given to him by an envoy from Linyi Kingdom, and it was filled with some small gadgets that were given to him or made for him by friends from all kinds of rivers and lakes.

There are hooks and claws for climbing walls and crossing waters, and there are fire folds, there is a leopard tendon rope that is more than 30 battles long, and there is a cowhide roll full of crochet needles, straight needles, lancets, A small scimitar, etc., a ball of thin white wire made of mulberry bark, a small tube of stainless steel, cut obliquely at one end, and the edge is very sharp; a two-inch square wooden box contains a paper and ink knife and pen; there is also an extremely delicate small crossbow, made of brass, when closed, it is no more than the size of a palm, an inch thick, and when unfolded, it is only about a foot in size, and the receiver is full of thirty two-inch long nails, which are loaded with machine springs and monkey tendon urging, and can be fired continuously. In addition, there are bottles and cans filled with various powders and medicines.

Guo Hua's light work is very complicated. A monk from Nan Tianzhu taught him the art of ascending to heaven. A Taoist priest who had practiced in Kunlun Mountain taught him the art of divine movement and the art of night walking. Nocturnal walking focuses more on stealth and stealth by climbing walls and supporting trees at night. Guo Hua took advantage of this nocturnal skill, and walked from the northeast corner of Chang'an City to the southwest direction of Guiyifang.

The further southwest, the less light there is. You can clearly see the lanterns on the street, wandering back and forth. After walking for about three quarters of an hour, Guo Hua came to Guiyifang, and he jumped lightly from the house and walked in the shadows of the street.

Because of the war, the population of Chang'an City has decreased dramatically, and although many homeless people have been backfilled in this place where civilians live, there are still many courtyards that are vacant. According to Wang Wei's statement, Guo Hua probably found the courtyard. There is a lantern hanging in front of the door, and the lantern is the same as the words on the plaque on the door: Yongfu Beitianfang.

Sadness Fang, also called the sick workshop, the sick workshop, the nursing workshop. It is a charitable institution opened in the early Tang Dynasty, which is generally funded by the government, and the government's Yicang provides rice and grain, and then recruits the temple's great monks to be in charge; It mainly adopts some elderly people, abandoned children, disabled people, or simply displaced poor people.

Lu Yu, a tea man, is an outcast who grew up in a hospital opened in Hongfu Temple, and now he also helps take care of the poor and orphaned in the temple, and he is also one of Wang Wei's friends. Therefore, Guo Hua knows, it is said that he is compiling the ancient and modern ways of drinking tea into a book.

Guo Yu looked left and right, and there was no one to communicate with. And he jumped up the wall again. It is a two-hall compound with a two-story attic in the middle. The front yard was pitch black and there was no light, and there was a light in a wing room on the west side of the backyard, and the light shadow was in a trance to see that there were still people sleeping inside.

Guo Yu took a breath, exhaled a few times, adjusted his breathing, and swam over like a gecko after a few hand and foot climbing, hanging upside down on the beam. Only listen to a soft-voiced man inside.

"Brother Song, do you say that this Tang Dynasty is really unfinished? That Hu Er captured Luoyang and Chang'an in succession like a broken bamboo, and in a blink of an eye, he was taken back like this. ”

The Hu Er that the man said was An Lushan.

"I don't know. When the water is boiled, bring it to me!" It was another man's voice, which sounded very indifferent and heavy.

"Yes, come. No, I helped you sew this jacket last year, it's autumn, and it's winter in a blink of an eye, so you can wear it when the time comes. ”

The soft-voiced man answered. The two of them were silent. There was the sound of scooping water and washing in the room, probably because the man with an indifferent and heavy tone wanted to wash his feet.

Guo Hua took out a one-foot-long bamboo pipe, wet the front section, gently clicked the window paper, and looked into the bamboo pipe.

I saw that the two were scrubbing the chest of an old man, and there was a poisonous sore on his chest, and the two were helping him clean the wound. The old man was half-asleep, as if he had been fed hemp, so they cleaned his wounds, and he did not react in pain.

Shake the bamboo pipe, and see that there is a big kang in the north and south of the house, and there are people sleeping on both sides. Many children in ragged clothes slept on the kang. Including the old man with sores on his chest, there were three or five sick old men.

Looking at the situation, it is similar to the common sad field. It's just that the soft-voiced man said that the Tang Dynasty still made Guo Yu decide to continue listening.

The two of them helped the old man scrub about a cup of tea. The thin and white man sat down on a kang with a bamboo basket with needle and thread, and the man picked up a pair of needles and threads and sewed them up with a child's clothes.

"Hey, no matter what, after all, it will be the suffering of these people. The soft words came from the mouth of this white man.

The other was a slightly darker man, dressed in a sackcloth shirt and wrapped tightly, looking very burly and strong. He continued to check on the other old men, but he didn't answer the words of the white man, and listened to the conversation, this burly man should be surnamed Song.

Song, is the surname of the Goguryeo people.

The white man said to himself: "Today, I went to Ximing Temple to receive rice and grain, and I saw a lot of homeless people from Luoyang. It is said that the current battle situation is also very stale, and the battle with An Lushan's army is very difficult!"

"Brother Yu, go to bed early. We can't figure out these things!" replied the burly man.

The white man, surnamed Yu. It is also a Goguryeo surname.

"Yes. Brother Song, have you been tired all these years. Recently, I have become more and more absent-minded, as if I am preoccupied. It's not as high-spirited as it was back then. Hey, I don't know if the little fox will be able to come back tomorrow morning. ”

The man, surnamed Yu, replied as he put away the sewn clothes and needlework. The man surnamed Song looked back at the people who were asleep, took the oil lamp, and went to the room on the other side with the man surnamed Yu.

Guo Yu hurriedly turned over and climbed onto the beam, because he was afraid that he would come out of the house. But he saw that the two of them had just passed through the hall and went to the wing room on the other side. After a while, the lights went out. And they slept together.

After waiting for a while, there was no abnormality. Guo Hua continued to walk back at night. By the time I got home, it was nearly midnight. After washing himself briefly, he went to bed and meditated cross-legged.

Although there is no mystery in the dialogue between Song and Yu, it is certain that they are both strong in martial arts, and they are both Goguryeo.

However, since it is a sick house, why didn't Wang Wei go in the first place? Perhaps there have been many changes in the past few decades.
