Chapter 10 Reasons

Datang Chang'an.

Chang'an is located under the Qinling Mountains, the shore of Weishui, was the capital of the former dynasty, formerly known as Daxing City, after the Tang Dynasty occupied this place, continued to set the capital here, changed Daxing to Chang'an.

Chang'an, as the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is the first place of goodness at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Natural prosperity is incomparable, the 25 main streets in the east and west, north and south of Chang'an City, the whole city is divided into two cities and one hundred and eight squares, which is bounded by Zhuque Street, the urban area is divided into two parts of east and west, fifty-three squares in the east, fifty-five squares in the west, according to the feng shui saying, this one hundred and eight squares correspond to the 108 stars that imply 108 gods, and thirteen squares are arranged in the north and south, symbolizing the leap of the year; four squares in the south of the imperial city, east and west, symbolizing the four seasons of the year; south of the imperial city, nine squares in the north and south, symbolizing the "Zhou Li" The so-called "Five Cities and Nine Kui" recorded in the book.

The imperial city of the Tang Dynasty is located in the north of Chang'an City, occupying a quarter of the area of the entire Chang'an City, which is magnificent and extravagant.

In the Imperial City Palace, there is a very quiet courtyard, this courtyard is located on a hill, the mountain is full of phoenix wood, it is summer now, it is the time when the phoenix flowers bloom, "the leaf is like the feather of the flying phoenix, the flower is like the crown of the phoenix", a phoenix flower is like a flame, a tree of phoenix flowers is like a burning torch, the phoenix flowers blooming all over the mountain, the whole hill is illuminated red.

The courtyard is not big, and it is like a fairy palace in the fire under the shade of phoenix flowers.

Two guards dressed in bright light armor, armed with spears, and scarlet cloaks behind their backs, stood at the entrance of the courtyard, like two door gods, their faces were all covered by iron armor, and they couldn't see what kind of face was inside.

On the entire hill, there seemed to be no one else on the hill except for the two armorers standing at the gate of the courtyard, and as for the courtyard behind them, it seemed even more mysterious in this silence.

"You asked me why I sent Wang Yanzhi to track down the remnants of Liangshanbo. ”

There is a quiet room in the courtyard, in addition to a row of bookshelves, there is only an incense burner lit with incense, the simple arrangement reveals an atmosphere, a short table, a middle-aged man holds a book in his hand, with a hint of a smile on his majestic national character face, "Wang Yanzhi is the deputy commander of the Shence Army's wind attack camp, he has rich experience and strong martial arts, he is the best candidate to suppress bandits, is there anything wrong with sending him?"

The middle-aged man was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, with a crimson belt tied around his waist, embroidered with a golden nine-clawed golden dragon, and his whole body exuded the momentum of a superior person.

This man in a dragon robe is the son of heaven in today's Tang Dynasty, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.

"You know that's not what I said, I don't care who exterminated the remnants of Liangshanbo, I care about the matter itself. The same middle-aged man's voice sounded, however, this voice was slightly harsh and feminine, the owner of the voice was wearing a moon-white robe, his body was slender, and he looked very thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him away, and there were three long whiskers on his chin, swaying gently with the breeze from the window, looking like a high-ranking person, "The forces behind Liang Shanbo are intricate, and since the first evil has been killed, there is really no need to kill them all." ”

"It has been rumored in the rivers and lakes that Liang Shanbo hid a huge amount of wealth and a large number of Taoist martial arts cheats in the Qinling Mountains before the defeat, in case he would rise again, I got the exact news from the Yin Yuan Society a month ago, this rumor in the rivers and lakes is true, if I don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, I am afraid that after twenty years, another Liangshan Bo will destroy my Li Tang foundation. ”

"I see," the middle-aged Taoist priest suddenly realized, "If we can get this treasure, we can send troops to conquer Nanshao in the coming year." "The most important thing is that Liangshan Bo military master Wu Yong got the Taoist system of Zhang Jiao, the general of Tiangong in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is very likely that Zhang Jiao's Taoist secret book is hidden in the treasure, that Zhang Jiao is a first-class character of the land immortals, if he can get some of these Taoist secret books, he must have increased his Taoism greatly, and Zhang Jiao's Taoist secret book also has a complementary and perfect effect on the Taoist collection, so as to recruit disciples on this basis, vigorously develop, and it is not impossible to overshadow the pure Yang Taoist sect to become the orthodoxy of the Taoist sect after a few decades, thinking of this, the eyes of the middle-aged Taoist priest are hot。

"Yes, as long as I get this treasure, I will have the military funds to recruit Nanshao in the coming year, and Nanshao will eventually become the territory of my Tang Dynasty. When Li Longji said this, the whole person stood up and looked at the south through the window, as if he could see the capital of Nanshao through thousands of mountains and rivers, "Please Daochang Li bless me with a helping hand." ”

Daoist Li bowed and "dare not obey his fate", the two looked at each other, and laughed, this laughter faintly revealed a sense of swallowing the world and holding the world

Dividing line

Li Yi doesn't have the mentality of swallowing the world like Li Longji now, on the contrary, he is so nervous now, and his hand holding the hunting bow is a little shaky.

"You're okay, if you can't do it, you can go back, Li Er and I will protect you. Zhao San next to him looked at Li Yi worriedly, Zhao San was one of the two people who stayed with Li Yi, and he was the third in the family, so his father directly named him Zhao San, and Li Er was another hunter, and the situation was similar to Zhao San.

Li Yi didn't make a sound when he heard this, and took a deep breath, "Third Brother Zhao, can I change the weapon with you?" I haven't used the dagger, I'm afraid it won't be used well." ”

"Okay, I've used daggers as well, no problem. Zhao San took Li Yi's dagger and handed him a long knife, "I just sharpened this knife today, but it's sharp." ”

Li Yi took the knife, looked at it and put it away, looked at the gradually approaching pursuers, and said: "The speed on the opposite side is very fast, we only have one chance to shoot, the opposite side is wearing leather armor, it is difficult to shoot through the leather armor with our strength to hurt them, and it is difficult to kill them if the leather armor is not covered, and when they get closer, we will shoot their feet, and strive to make them incapacitated, after shooting once, immediately pull out the weapon and fight them in close combat, and the rest depends on the destiny of heaven." Because of nervousness, Li Yi spoke a little incoherently, but fortunately, Zhao San and Li Er both understood what he meant, and the two nodded

Li Yi saw that the two understood, and then didn't say anything, when the pursuers chased the three people more than 20 meters away, Li Yi's three hands loosened, and the three arrows flew like the opposite side, because the three of them did not reach the third layer of Qingniu Gong, and the bow in their hands was just an ordinary hunting bow, naturally there was no power in the arrow shot by Wang Hu, only to hear the "ah" two sounds, two people fell on the opposite side, both were arrows in the foot, why only two people fell? That's because Li Yi's arrow shot crooked, shot to a big tree next to it, the pursuers were frightened by this, and chased more urgently, swarming towards Li Yi and the three, not even caring about the comrades who fell to the ground, Li Yi didn't care about his own crooked arrows, threw down the hunting bow, picked up Zhao San's knife and rushed up, and swung it down at the first person, Li Yi practiced the second layer of Qingniu Gong, his strength increased greatly, and he could pull the three-stone strong bow, that is to say, there was a strength of three hundred and sixty catties, and he waved the knife, and there was also a turning power, and the Shence sergeant raised his knife to block, how to block it, and he was cut down by the knife at once, and before Li Yi went up to make up for it, the chasing soldiers who came from behind had already come out with knives and guns, stabbed at Li Yi with an eye, and the frightened Li Yi took three steps back and avoided it.

Just after Li Yi and the chasing soldiers handed over, Zhao San and Li Er also entered the other party's camp with weapons, as the old hunters in the stockade, they were much more fierce than Li Yi, only to see the silver light flash, and two people fell on the opposite side, one was slashed by Zhao San with a dagger through the neck, and the other was stabbed in the waist by Li Er with a knife. "This Wei Gong Folding Array was created by Wei Gong Li Jing during his southern expedition, and it was the culmination of a variety of military formations, especially good at attacking.

As soon as this military formation was formed, Li Yi and the three of them were trapped to death, cut down to one person, three or four weapons around him, forcing you to go back to defense, so after three or four times, Li Yi and the others' physical strength dropped rapidly, Zhao San saw that the three of them had no way to survive like this, and Li Er made a look, shouted, and threw the dagger in the direction of Li Yi with all his strength, "Huh" A sound of breaking wind sounded, and the dagger turned into a silver light, directly nailing the commander to death, and at the same time, Zhao San was also stabbed into the heart with a spear, he grabbed the spear and shouted to Li Yi: "Run." As soon as he finished speaking, he was stabbed in the back again, and immediately spit out a mouthful of blood, and stood still, obviously not working.

Li Yi watched Zhao Sanheng die, his heart ached, and when he was about to fight hard, Li Er next to him pushed Li Yi, "It's not the time for you to work hard, the baby in the village is still waiting for you to go back and hand them over to read and write, I'm helping you block the meeting, Li Yi, you quickly escape, escape to the village, let the people in the village quickly transfer, and by the way, tell my baby, his father didn't embarrass him." ”

After speaking, he raised his knife again and fought with the Shence sergeant, this time Li Er didn't dodge at all, and the moves were all life-fighting methods, which shocked those Shence soldiers for a while, and bought Li Yi time, and took the time to look back, Li Yi was still entangled with the Shence army in the same place, and couldn't help but be angry, "Go quickly", with a little crying in his voice.

Li Yi's hands shook when he heard these crying words, forced the two people in front of him to retreat, and fled in the direction of the stockade with a knife, he couldn't waste the time that Zhao San and Li Er sacrificed in exchange, he must escape to the stockade to let the people in the stockade successfully transfer, and wait for the next time, next time he must kill this group of damned Shence Army, Li Yi's lips were bitten and bloodied, and he swore fiercely in his heart.
