More than ten days to Chang'an City in the road, the autumn rain came and went, the post road was quite muddy, the carriages and horses were a little difficult, but King Shu was still urging his subordinates and knights, saying that we had to speed up the pace, otherwise it would be bad if we were too late to see the last side of King Fenyang.

The rain kept falling on Gao Yueqi's head and shoulders, and his mood seemed to be soaked in water.

When he arrived at the Jinguang Gate in the west of Chang'an City, the sky finally cleared, and a little dragon-like sunlight sprinkled down, the scene was very consistent with the name of the city gate, Gao Yue heard a commotion - only to see a group of Shence soldiers dressed in colorful clothes and black clothes standing there, shouting something.

Gao Yue, who was drenched with thin hair and long hair, raised his head and saw a six-jun bow hanging on the plaque of the three city gates, and the Shence army stood below, pointing to the bow and saying to the onlookers, "Look at this bow, look at this bow, whoever can pull it half will get twice the food and clothing, and whoever can pull it full will get three times the food and clothing!" ”

It turned out that the Shence Army was recruiting soldiers.

The Shence Army is divided into two systems, the unity in the city and the camp outside the city, or can be divided into "Jinnei" and "Jinwai", Gao Yue has been engaged in the border town for two or three years, and he knows in his heart that the real elites are in the camp outside the city, and now they are mostly gathered under the command of Li Sheng and rushed to the Linwei area.

"How's the war going?" So Gao Yue grabbed the reins and asked the halberdier of one of them.

The officer saluted the scarlet-clad silverfish official, and then said that Ma Sui, Li Baozhen, Li Sheng, and Li Geng, four generals, 80,000 people, had broken through the Huguan Pass, preparing to rescue Linhao City, Wei Bo's rebels were broken one after another, and the officers and soldiers were beheaded more than 10,000, but the king of Hechuan County also died in battle and died of more than 1,000 diseases, and the coffin was also carried to the capital in an endless stream, so the Shence army made Bai Zhizhen compensate for the deceased while beginning to recruit new soldiers.

"Hey, it seems that the sacrifice of the Shence Army is also very heavy!" Gao Yue sighed in his heart.

But when he rode through the Jinguang Gate, he saw that all the people who came to apply were a group of idle shopkeepers, and some people also came to sign up with cargo boxes and cake baskets, "What kind of combat power can such a market disciple have when he joins the army?" ”

was secretly thinking, and suddenly someone in the crowd was shouting his name, Gao Yue looked at it, it was actually An Lao Hu'er!

The old people met very cordially, Gao Yue is no longer a student now, but a standard servant in the imperial history, so An Lao Hu'er copied his hands and stood respectfully next to his horse's head.

"Uncle, are you here to recruit too?"

"Yes, the business in Chang'an City is too difficult to do now, so while I still have a few years of strength, I will join the Divine Strategy Army."

"How?"

"Lang Jun, it's hard to say, Zhao Hushi recently asked the Holy Lord, saying that the military budget for the war in Heshuo was tight, and he began to collect 'Changping money', and all the food, bamboo, wood, wine and tea in Chang'an and Gyeonggi were traded, and they would collect a share of eleven, what else should I do? Beef and sheep meat is also difficult to buy, from the original mutton stuffed steamed hu to somen steamed hu, and now the somen steamed hu can't be done. Alas, that's all there is to it! An Lao Hu'er carried the shriveled burden, and only shook his head and sighed.

Gao Yue hurriedly gave the money he had with him to Lao Hu'er, and said Uncle, you are old, don't join the army, take the money to live first, and immediately I will ask the Cui family house in Shengpingfang to hire you as a famous chef.

After saying goodbye to An Lao Hu'er, Gao Yue caught up with King Shu's team again, looked at the entrance of Tianjie and walked directly.

Along the way in Zhufang, Chang'an County, the crowd was crowded, as if all were in a commotion, some were secretly trading things, some were shouting and running around, and some daughters of poor families were sitting at the door of their homes blankly, looking around. The rich families still wear brocade and satin, and swagger through the market surrounded by slaves, as if today's war has nothing to do with them.

"Ants gather under Huaixia, and they are dying in the rain", Gao Yue said silently in his heart.

There are also people whispering, discussing the biggest recent event in the capital - the end of the king of Fenyang.

"Gao Shiyu, you are now half of the little king's wingman, and I will go to the Fenyang Palace's mansion the next day, I hope you can accompany you."

The next day, King Shu's procession crossed the streets of Chang'an City, in which King Shu once again wore a long-distance travel crown and a silk robe, sitting on the car, and the musicians next to him were happy but silent—behind him, three hundred flying dragons riding with flags and hooves rumbled, and the accompanying wingmen and palace officials were accompanied by horses with hakama tied to the hem of their trousers, and Gao Yue was also among them.

In front of the Fenyang Palace, Guo Ziyi's sons and sons-in-law who came out to greet them - Guo Zhen, the prince of Taiyuan County, Guo Xi, Guo Xuan, the palace supervisor, Guo Shu, Sinong Shaoqing, Guo Shu, and his son-in-law Wu Zhongru, etc., including Guo Hui, who returned to the mansion yesterday, all cried and shook the sky, and when they saw King Shu carrying the emperor's edict, except for Princess Shengping in the crowd, everyone else bowed down.

"The Holy Lord's edict is here, please forgive Xiao Wang for not returning the salute." King Shu got out of the car and said to the family members in the Fenyang palace one by one.

At this moment, the shout of "Yi Song" sounded, Gao Yue looked back, but saw a man hurriedly walking on the congested side street of Qinrenfang.

It's Gao Ying.

"Brother Gongchu." Gao Yue hurriedly saluted.

Gao Ying took his hand, then looked at the door valve of the Fenyang Palace, and immediately couldn't hold back his tears, choked up and said, "Come and see the last face of the county king." ”

Gao Ying deliberately asked Li Huaiguang for leave and hurried back to Chang'an in the rain.

After all, he has been Guo Ziyi's secretary for many years.

When King Shu walked into the inner courtyard of the palace, the women of Guo Ziyi's family were all kneeling and worshipping in the middle of the road, and there were hundreds of people, and the voices were everywhere.

Among them is Wu Zhongru's daughter Xingxing, who is already married, so when she sees Gao Yue in the team, the pear blossoms and rain can't help but feel like a dream.

Gao Yue also saw the stars, smiled at her and nodded, meaning to take care.

Now Gao Yue has turned into a ray of white moonlight in the heart of the stars, that's all.

The white-haired Guo Ziyi was lying behind the screen in Mrs. Huo Guo's dining hall, unable to get out of bed.

When King Shu came to him and read out the edict of His Majesty's condolences, Guo Ziyi could not bow, but could only make a hoarring sound in his mouth, put his hand on his wrinkled forehead, and made a posture of bowing, to thank King Shu and the emperor.

Seeing this scene, Gao Yue, who was on the side, couldn't help but have a sour nose, while Gao Ying burst into tears.

After the edict was read, King Shu and others took turns to talk to Guo Ziyi.

"Ziyi has five out of eighty, a very popular minister, full of children and grandchildren, and has been a national horse for most of his life, and he has no grudges in this life. I just want future generations to continue to be loyal to the Tang family, if someone is a traitor, they will not be allowed to enter my Guo temple after death......"

"Ling Gong!" Gao Ying worshiped in front of Guo Ziyi's couch.

"Gong Chu, it's Gong Chu, my friend Gong Chu......" Guo Ziyi also burst into tears, holding Gao Ying's hand and not letting go.

"Ling Gong ......" Gao Yue's tears also welled up.

At this time, King Shu became a supporting role, but fortunately, King Shu's emotional intelligence was not low, and when he saw that Guo Ziyi and Er Gao had something to say, he stood on the side and listened.

"It's Yisong, you are in Jingyuan, receiving my nephew Guo Hui, and then entering Beijing with King Shu, isn't it?"

Gao Yue nodded.

Guo Ziyi sighed, "Although Guo Hui is here, Guo Xin is still alone in Anxi, Ziyi is sorry for their father Youming, sorry for the wow...... Ziyi enjoys the court's benevolence, but she can't ...... for me Tang Fuhelong, Anxi, and Beiting" After speaking, Guo Ziyi pointed to his heart and shook his head slowly.
