Listening to Guo Yuanzhen's provocative and intimidating words, he was not shocked, angry, or hurried, but still smiled with a slight mockery, and said: "It is useless to provoke the generals. I just want to ask General Guo, since Xue Shaodu is about to win, why do you still surrender and rebel? ”

Guo Yuanzhen sighed secretly in his heart - I have to admit that Du Xiluo is indeed calm and shrewd, he is much more powerful than I imagined. Thinking about it, with the vision of Gu Lulu and Yuan Zhen, since they dared to appoint Ye Hu to come to Helong to block one side and lead more than 100,000 troops to fight this big battle, presumably his military literacy and other abilities in all aspects will not be too bad.

"Nothing more?" Du Xilu sneered and waved his hand, "Drag it out, chop it up!" ”

"Then chop!" Guo Yuanzhen was not in a hurry, he smiled calmly and took the initiative to cut his hands behind his back, "Die early and die late, it's all death." If I chop it earlier, I can still get a relief. ”

Most of the Turkic guards didn't understand what Guo Yuanzhen said, so they just came forward to tie him up.

Du Xiluo frowned slightly, "I don't seem to understand General Guo's words a little bit - what is early death, what is late death?" ”

Guo Yuanzhen said with a faint smile: "I died early, but now I was chopped up by you and fed to the dogs." Late death, that is, after winning the battle, others were promoted and rewarded, but I was beheaded by the imperial court. In contrast, I would rather die at your hands. In this way, at least there is not so much unwillingness and remorse. ”

"Strange, since you won the battle, then you are the hero. Why does your court want to behead you? "I'm very curious," I reminded, as a noble son of Ashina, I have been taught to read by Han Confucian students since I was a child. Not long ago, I was an envoy to the Tang Dynasty on behalf of the Khanate. Therefore, General Guo must not deceive me that I don't understand the affairs of your Tang Dynasty. ”

Guo Yuanzhen smiled, "If you don't say it, I'm really going to laugh at you if I say it-I don't know how to pretend to understand!" ”

He frowned slightly, showing a hint of anger, but he still didn't have a seizure, "What's the explanation?" ”

"The seven virtues and twenty-four sins used by Datang to assess the merits of officials, can Ye Hu know?" Guo Yuanzhen asked.

He nodded, "Of course." ”

Guo Yuanzhen laughed, "Of course it's a fart!" ”

He gritted his teeth angrily, "Guo Yuanzhen, don't be too rude." ”

"What about rudeness? It's not too much to kill someone, you can kill me twice? Guo Yuanzhen still smiled, "Besides, you obviously don't understand the Seven Virtues and Twenty-Four Sins, but you have to pretend to understand." This is self-inflicted humiliation, and I can't blame me. ”

He was really calm, but at this time he was still not angry, but blinked his eyes and pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled as if he had changed his face, "Hurry up and let General Guo go!" - Give me a seat, serve a drink! ”

The attendants hurriedly let go of Guo Yuanzhen, and brought Guo Yuanzhen a horse and a glass of wine.

"That's right!" Guo Yuanzhen was not polite, he sat down and drank the turbid white milk wine in a big cup.

"It's my negligence, General Guo don't blame me." He smiled and raised his glass to Guo Yuanzhen, and said, "According to the evaluation method of the Tang Dynasty's Seven Virtues and Twenty-four Sins, General Guo, as a defender of Fengzhou, abandoned the city and fled without a fight, which is indeed a capital crime. If you can hold Yinchuan or repel our army, you can still make up for it. But now that Xue Shao has entered Yinchuan, according to the habits of your Tang Dynasty, all the credit must be attributed to him. This deprived General Guo of his last hope of life -- am I right? ”

"Finally got a little bit of a edge." Guo Yuanzhen pursed his lips, "But you don't have to sow discord." Even if I really became a traitor, I don't hate Xue Shao. No matter what he did, he just wanted to win the battle. He has never treated me badly, let alone tried to harm me. No matter whether he recognizes me or not, in my heart, he will always be my dearest brother and my most respected man. None of you can compare to him. ”

"General Guo is a man worthy of admiration." Du Xiluo raised his glass, "I salute General Guo with a cup!" ”

Guo Yuanzhen didn't speak, and drank it all.

"Then has General Guo ever thought about what your family will do if you commit treason and surrender to the enemy?" He asked again.

Guo Yuanzhen's heart couldn't help but tighten—this is so cunning!

"Huh?" Du Xilu made a heavy nasal sound, and looked at Guo Yuanzhen with a smile.

"My family is all in Hebei and Zhou." Guo Yuanzhen frowned deeply and said, "I don't know how they are doing now. If possible, I would like to ask Ye Hu to take my family to the grassland as soon as possible......"

He smiled and smiled -- Guo Yuanzhen's answer was reasonable.

"If Ye Hu can agree, Guo is willing to go to the soup for Ye Hu in this life!" Guo Yuanzhen stood up and bowed with his fists clenched.

"General Guo, please take a seat." He smiled slightly and said, "To tell you the truth, my brother Khan personally led an army of more than 300,000 people, and he has already conquered most of Hebei. Maybe just as you and I are talking, the state has already won. ”

"Huh?" Guo Yuanzhen exclaimed, "Then my family, how is it good?" ”

He smiled and waved his hand, "General Guo, don't worry, as long as they don't die in the chaos, my brother Khan will definitely not hurt your family." ”

"......" Guo Yuanzhen was speechless, gritted his teeth, and frowned.

Du Xi blinked, "I'll fly the pigeon and pass the book right away, and let my brother Khan take care of your family." ”

"Okay, there is Lao Yehu!" Guo Yuanzhen was very eager.

He waved his hand and motioned to the waiter to handle this matter immediately, and then said: "General Guo said that our army has fallen into Xue Shao's trap, and all of them are not far from death. I don't know, how can this be explained? ”

This time it was Guo Yuanzhen who smiled, "If I said it, would I still be useful to Ye Hu?" ”

He blinked his eyes again and again, and then laughed, "General Guo, smart man!" I just love dealing with smart people! ”

"Then Guo will not do dark things in front of the Ming people." Guo Yuanzhen said, "As long as I know that my family is safe and sound, I will tell you about Xue Shao's entire military plan." ”

"Deal." He agreed very simply. Because he knows that there is no room for bargaining in this kind of thing, and both sides have their own bottom lines.

"Now I'm going back." Guo Yuanzhen said calmly, "Do you dare to let me go?" ”

"Don't dare." Du Xilu still answered quite simply.

Guo Yuanzhen smiled, "If I can't go back before dawn, Xue Shao will definitely know." With his shrewdness, everything I know will be nullified. In this way, Guo Yuanzhen will also become a worthless wasted person - Ye Hu, think twice. ”

"Sizzle......" Du Xi took a long breath, squinted his eyes and stared at Guo Yuanzhen, and fell into deep thought.

Guo Yuanzhen was very calm with a smile on his face, taking care of himself and pouring the wine jug with a wine jug.

After a long time, Guo Yuanzhen drank a whole pot of wine and was ready to start pouring the second pot.

"General Guo, I really want to let you go." "But how can I believe that you will come back?" ”

Guo Yuanzhen said with a smile: "If I don't come back, Ye Hu will treat me as if I have never come, at most I will only lose this pot of wine." If I come back again, Ye Hu will make a lot of money - the left and right are all profitable and loss-free transactions, so why should Ye Hu suffer from gains and losses? ”

"Haha!" Du Xi laughed loudly, "General Guo is really a wonderful person, a wonderful person!" ”

"Then Guo will leave." Guo Yuanzhen hugged a fist, raised his foot and prepared to leave.

"Wait!"

Du Xiluo suddenly let out a low shout, and the guards from all sides pulled out their swords at the same time, surrounding Guo Yuanzhen.

Guo Yuanzhen said with a smile: "If Ye Hu really can't believe it, it's too late to regret it now-let's cut me, you and I can be a hundred!" ”

"General Guo thinks too much - all retreat!" Du Xilu walked over with a large sheepskin bag, and handed it to Guo Yuanzhen with a smile, "I see that General Guo likes our goat milk wine very much, so I will give a bag at the temporary time, which is not a tribute." ”

"Excuse me." Guo Yuanzhen said seriously, "This thing is only available in your military camp, if I bring it into the city, if it accidentally falls into Xue Shao's eyes, everything will be over!" ”

He put away the sheepskin bag and smiled, "General Guo is thoughtful, I appreciate it very much-come here, send General Guo out of the camp!" ”

"Farewell!"

A group of Turkic guards put a black cloth on Guo Yuanzhen's head as it was, but they didn't tie him up again, and then sent him out of the Turkic military camp with strict guard.

It's noon.

Guo Yuanzhen came to Yongxingku with a pot of fruit wine and a few large steamed buns filled with pickles, saying that today was his birthday and he wanted to invite Xue Shao to dinner.

Xue Shao came to the banquet with a smile, "General Guo's birthday, but I didn't give a congratulatory gift." Otherwise, do you want to keep the account first? ”

"It's not a cheap egg, I'm just celebrating the day of my rebirth that escaped death." Guo Yuanzhen shook his head and said with a sigh: "You're right, it's really treacherous. If you want to really deceive him, I'm afraid it's harder than climbing to the sky! ”

Xue Shao smiled faintly, "Since he is willing to let you come back, it proves that you have deceived you well." ”

"Actually, he didn't believe me at all. Because I have no basis for my words, and I have no real material to reveal to him. Guo Yuanzhen shook his head and said, "In other words, in the past, Du Xiluo must have hung my head under their horses' necks a long time ago, and returned to the grassland to receive the reward." But now that you are in Yinchuan Juntun, his interest in Guo's head has greatly decreased. The reason why he was willing to let me go back was nothing more than that he wanted to put a long line to see if he could catch a really big fish. ”

"Makes sense." Xue Shao chewed the steamed bun and drank the fruit wine, and said, "So, I need to add some real materials to you in order to really deceive Lu Xilu?" ”

"That's right." Guo Yuanzhen chewed the steamed bun and drank the fruit wine, stared at Xue Shao with only his eyes, and signaled - it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, you have to watch it!

"It's not difficult, you wait!" Xue Shao finished eating the steamed bun in two bites, turned around and went back to Yongxing Curry. It didn't take long for him to take out a coconut-sized urn, wrap it in a thick cloth, and hold it carefully in both hands.

"What's that?" Guo Yuanzhen stretched out his hand to take it.

Xue Shao took it back at once, and said, "The weapon of the great murderer, be careful!" ”

Guo Yuanzhen grinned and smiled, "There is a orchid in his early twenties in Huayun in Pingkangfang, who is tall and handsome, with a thin waist, but he really has a big murderous weapon that suffocates people!" ”

"Be serious." Xue Shao stiffened his face and said, "Do you remember the earth-shattering noise that night and the fact that I was injured?" ”

"Of course!" Guo Yuanzhen nodded, "What is in this urn is the one that hurt you that night...... Ancient demons? ”
