An hour later, Guo Song sat up, looking out the window at the outline of the swarthy mountains and forests in the distance, Ying Caihe curled up beside him like a cat, her cheeks were red, her eyes were closed, and she gasped softly, she tasted this unforgettable taste for the first time in thirty years, if Guo Song was a spiritual conquest for her before, then now her body has also been conquered.

Guo Song gently stroked her face and said softly, "I'll give you the antidote when I turn around with that pill." ”

Ying Caihe nodded lightly, that pill was really unnecessary.

Guo Song's face showed a gentle smile, he didn't expect this woman to be the first time.

"You go back to Chengdu to finish things for me, and then you go to Chang'an Yuling Palace to be the master, your master's coffin will be buried there, I will make you the heavenly master, you will accompany the master there, and I will come to you when I need you."

"Yes!"

After a pause, Ying Caihe asked in a low voice, "What does the master want me to do in Chengdu?" ”

Guo Song bent down and whispered a few words in her ear, and after speaking, Guo Song said slowly: "This matter is very important, only you and I know." ”

Ying Caihe hugged Guo Song's neck and murmured, "Master, be kind to me again!" Let me be loyal to you for the rest of my life. ”

It wasn't until dawn that Ying Caihe quietly left, she went to Hanzhong first, where she would wait for Song Tianlai to join her.

..........

In the lobby, Guo Song listened to the reports of Song Tian and Wang Yue.

"Your Highness, there are a total of four hundred and seventy-nine warriors in the Hidden Sword Pavilion, except for the leader Ying Caihe who escaped, the other four hundred and seventy-eight people were all shot and killed by us, and none of them escaped."

Wang Yue also bowed down and said: "We have searched all the places around, but we have not found any trace of Ying Caihe, and he is incompetent!" ”

"No more searching, let's collect the troops! In addition, everyone's bodies were immediately disposed of, and news was strictly blocked. ”

"Obey the order!"

"You deal with it now, Commander Song stays."

The king bowed and hurried away.

Guo Song said to Song Tian at this time: "You don't have to worry about Ying Caihe, she is actually my person." ”

Song Tian breathed a sigh of relief, "Then the humble position is relieved!" ”

"I also give you a task, you select fifty brothers with strong martial arts, use the captured tokens to pretend to be the warriors of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, go to Hanzhong to meet Ying Caihe, you go to Chengdu, assist her in an important mission, and then you will return to Chang'an with Zhang Yun."

"I understand the lowly duty, I don't know when the lowly duty will start?"

"Go back and get ready, and leave early tomorrow morning."

After speaking, Guo Song handed him a piece of paper, "There is the contact address and method of Hanzhong on it, this is the contact method of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, you have to strictly follow the above method." ”

"Obey!"

.........

After arranging the affairs of the garden house, Guo Song returned to Xingqing Palace.

Guo Song came to the Baolian Hall and saw Du Duqiu, who was recuperating here, Duguqiu's injuries were not serious, and after being carefully modulated, he had improved a lot, and the blood on his face was not as pale as yesterday, but slightly ruddy.

"Father-in-law's recovery is fine!" Guo Song said with a smile.

"Hey! This injury is nothing to me, I am also from the military, I once served as the envoy of Longyou Jiedu, and I also suffered an arrow wound when I fought against Tuyuhun......" Speaking of this, he accidentally pulled the wound, and the pain made him grin.

Guo Song smiled, "Father-in-law can recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind, and I will talk about anything when my injuries are healed." ”

Dugu Qiu shook his head, "I only figured it out last night, the virtuous son-in-law didn't want to talk about the Son of Heaven, because he was afraid that I would be embarrassed!" ”

"Not exactly, in fact, I have already thought about this matter repeatedly, whether my father-in-law comes or other messengers come, I have to face it."

Dugu Qiu groaned and said, "The virtuous son-in-law might as well listen to my thoughts first." ”

"Father-in-law, please speak!"

"I hope you reject Li Shi's request, the Tang Dynasty is exhausted, you don't have to be burdened by those so-called loyalty, goodness and false name, Li Shi pampered the eunuchs, and levied tyranny on the people, so that the people's resentment boiled, and the income tax was not used to raise the army and strengthen the army, but was included in his inner treasury for him to squander and enjoy, hundreds of officials have no money, soldiers have no money, and the morale of the army is very low, once he returns to Guanzhong, it will only be the misfortune of the people of Guanzhong and Chang'an."

Guo Song smiled and said: "It doesn't matter to me when he comes back, it's a big deal that I will give Guanzhong to him, I will go back to Taiyuan, he wants to restore Huangzhuang, then wait for the people of Guanzhong to rebel!" And once he returns to Guanzhong, Zhu Zhu will definitely take the opportunity to attack Bashu, and in the end he will only be left in Guanzhong, I am afraid that it is not me who regrets it, but him. ”

Du Isoqiu understood what Guo Song meant, and he muttered slightly: "What does the virtuous son-in-law mean, can you still let him come back?" ”

Guo Song pondered for a moment and said: "How can you come back and sit down to negotiate, but the negotiation must be sincere, and he must first show sincerity." ”

Du Isolate Qiu's spirit was lifted, this method is good, if you want to negotiate, you must first make concessions, if you don't even have the sincerity of negotiation, then don't blame yourself for being incompetent.

"Tell me about the virtuous son-in-law, what sincerity does Li Shi need to show?"

"My demands are twofold, first, not to change my appointment in Guanzhong; Second, all eunuchs must be killed. ”

Du Guqiu shook his head, "I'm afraid he can't fulfill these two requests." ”

Guo Song said categorically: "Whether it can be done is his business, but this is the premise of my negotiation, if I don't even have this sincerity, then there is no need to negotiate." ”

Dugu Qiu sighed and said, "Since that's the case, let's try it!" ”

An hour later, the two personal guards of Du Qiu carried Guo Song's handwritten letter and galloped away in the direction of Chengdu on horseback.

.........

Three days later, Guo Song officially signed the land distribution plan, and he immediately led 20,000 cavalry back to Taiyuan, the military was handed over to Yao Jin, and the government affairs were handed over to Cao Wannian and Du You, at this time there were only twenty days before the New Year, and he had to go back.

Taiyuan is also a snowy world, the New Year is coming, and every corner of Taiyuan City is full of festive atmosphere.

The palace of the king of Jin is full of lights, full of joy, Princess Xue Tao is extremely busy these days, she has received a letter from her husband, and her husband is already on the way back to Taiyuan, which makes their whole family happy.

But what her husband said at the end of the letter made her a little embarrassed, "Taiyuan is just a temporary residence, and I will eventually return to Chang'an." ’

Next year, they will move back to Chang'an, so that Xue Tao is happy and sad, happy that she can finally return to Chang'an, where she has lived since childhood, no matter where she goes, what she misses most in her heart is Chang'an.

But it was difficult to move, and it took half a year just to pack up their things, and they finally got used to Taiyuan and had to leave again.

"Eldest sister, what's wrong?"

Dugu Youlan saw that Xue Tao had something on her mind, and couldn't help asking, "Is it that the husband can't come back for the New Year?" ”

Xue Tao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "He is already on his way back to Taiyuan, and I'm worried because we may have to move to Chang'an next year." ”

"I'm moving again!"

Dugu Youlan couldn't help but shout, "That's going to be a year of trouble." ”

"Who says it's not, it takes half a year just to pack up things, and it took a lot to settle down, and I just got used to it."

"Or ..... Persuade the husband? ”

Xue Tao shook his head, "Don't persuade this matter, not only do we move, everyone has to move, it should be the entire official office under the Jin Palace." ”

Dugu Youlan said thoughtfully: "Could it be that we want to live in Daming Palace?" ”

"It's not Daming Palace, it's Xingqing Palace, the husband has made it clear, Xingqing Palace has been renamed Jin Wangfu."

"Mother, is Xingqing Palace the same size as Jinyang Palace?" Guo Weiwei, who was sitting on the side painting, tilted her head and asked.

Xue Tao said angrily: "What are you doing this dead girl, eavesdropping on us with your ears pricked up?" ”

Guo Weiwei pouted and whispered, "You are talking so loudly, do you still need to eavesdrop?" ”

Dugu Youlan hurriedly smiled and said: "Weiwei, Xingqing Palace occupies a square of land in Chang'an, which is equivalent to three Jinyang Palaces. ”

"So big!"

Guo Weiwei exclaimed, "Doesn't that make my mother's head even bigger." ”

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and paint!"

"People don't want to paint now!"

Guo Weiwei hugged her mother's neck and said coquettishly: "When will Daddy come back?" ”

Xue Tao patted his daughter's face and smiled: "Do you care about what gifts your father brings you?" ”

Guo Weiwei shook her mother's shoulder and said, "No! I miss Daddy. ”

"Don't shake! Don't shake! The bones are going to fall apart. ”

Xue Tao thought for a while and said: "I estimate that your father is about to arrive at Pujin Pass, and after passing Pujin Pass, he will go all the way north, and in about five days, he will arrive in Taiyuan." ”

"It's going to take five days!" Guo Weiwei screamed.

"Dead girl, what about the Yunzhou scenic map you promised your father? You don't think you're done yet! ”

Guo Weiwei screamed, hurriedly ran over to find her draft, and said, "It's going to be over, and half of it hasn't been drawn!" ”

Dugu Youlan saw it interesting, so she got up and said with a smile: "I'll go see Minqiu, as soon as the child cries, she will be in a hurry again." ”

"I'll go with you, it's almost time to find a nurse to help the child."

Xue Tao instructed Guo Weiwei a few more words, and then went downstairs with Dugu Youlan.
