Looking at the high-spirited young man in front of him, looking at his sincere and somewhat excited eyes, the expression on Dugu Yongye's face kept changing, and he was speechless for a long time.

It was this young man who had traveled hundreds of miles to rescue Wang Lin, captured Chen Guoyong's general Xiao Maha alive, and repelled Wu Mingche and Huang Faqu, two experienced Chen generals, so that Chen Guo could not cross the Huai River for half a step.

It was this young man who captured the crown princess of the Zhou Kingdom, not to mention whether the means were glorious or not, he was able to escape the encirclement and interception of the Northern Zhou Empire and return to the Qi Kingdom safe and sound, and his martial arts and wisdom can be seen.

It is the young man in front of him, who clings to dozens of states and counties in two provinces, and has created a wealth that makes countless people marvel and envy, and the imperial court has encircled and suppressed it several times, but has not been able to exterminate it, but has lost his troops and lost his generals, and he is embarrassed, even if he himself has returned in vain, and he has been disgraced by the cavalry under his command.

It was the young man in front of him, who fought against the Turks twice when he first went to Shuozhou, and won both battles, which made the Turks jealous and did not dare to easily wave their troops south in a short time. In the past ten years, the Qi people have always been in a weak position in front of the Turks, especially the cowardly and corrupt rulers, servile and servile, but this young man in front of him has made the Qi people have a sense of arrogance.

It was the young man in front of him who waved his army south, turned the tide, relieved the siege of Jinyang, defeated Yuwenyong's 300,000 army, recovered all the lost land, and supported the edifice of Qi that would collapse.

Now, this young man has exposed his fangs and claws, his ambition, and forced himself to show his attitude, Dugu Yongye sighed for a while, but also sighed.

Maybe I'm really old! Dugu Yongye shook his head secretly, once upon a time, he also wanted to let the war horse under his crotch go to every inch of the Central Plains to end this troubled world, but the ups and downs of the sea and the passage of time slowly annihilated his ambitions, especially the countless capable ministers who would be framed by traitors and not die well, which made him feel desolate and sad.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that Dugu Yongye was still silent, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, with the support of Dugu Yongye, all the elites of Northern Qi were almost in his hands, and it would be much easier to act in the future.

Happy sighed, suppressed the loss in his heart, but still had a warm smile on his face, and respectfully saluted Dugu Yongye: "In this case, Gao will no longer bother, and he will leave, General Dugu take care!" ”

Although because of Dugu Yongye's merits and personality, Happy still showed considerable respect, but the former's slippery hands and indecisiveness also made him a little unhappy, so he was no longer as close as before.

"Virtuous nephew and slow!" Seeing that he was about to leave, Dugu Yongye suddenly got up and grabbed his arm, and said a little apologetically: "Virtuous nephew, the old man is old, and his reaction is far inferior to that of you young people, no wonder." After a pause, Dugu Yongye said: "In the first battle of Qizhou, although the old man did not want to kill his comrades, he also knew that Qingzhou was solid and not easy to break, and the iron horse under the command of the virtuous nephew really opened the old man's eyes and deeply admired!" ”

On the surface, Dugu Yongye seems to be a little unacceptable because he is happy about the change of identity, but in fact, he hopes to think about it for more time. The military is actually an extension of politics, and an excellent commander is not only an excellent military strategist, but also an excellent politician. If he only acted with enthusiasm and impulse, he could only be regarded as a fierce general who rushed into battle, and he was far from being an excellent commander.

"General Dugu has won the award, and the class has an axe, and the little nephew is really ashamed." happily and modestly said that since things are still turning around, he will not leave with his sleeves in a bad mood.

Dugu Yongye clenched his happy hands, and pretended to be annoyed: "Why does the virtuous nephew still call the old man 'general', don't you think that the old man deserves to be your 'uncle'?" ”

"It's the little nephew, it's not right, the uncle is angry!" Happy to understand, immediately smiled and apologized.

"That's right!" Dugu Yongye turned his anger into joy, looked at the sky outside the house, and then said: "It's almost noon, just prepare a table of thin wine for the virtuous nephew to catch the wind and wash the dust, you can talk to me about the war with the Zhou people, I can't fight with Yuwen Yong, it's a pity!" As he spoke, he shouted outside the door, "Come, prepare a banquet!" ”

"The little nephew does everything according to his uncle's orders!" I happily performed the junior salute and returned to my seat and sat down again.

In fact, since Dugu Yongye knew that Gao Changgong became the regent, he guessed that he would go further in the future and become the Ninety-Five Supreme, and he was also more supportive of Gao Changgong from the bottom of his heart.

Although in the eyes of the Gao royal family, Gao Changgong's background is really despicable, but he is the grandson of Emperor Gao Huan of Shenwu, how noble his bloodline is, and he is the head of the Gao royal family, with 200,000 soldiers under his command, and the support of the people of Limin, as long as he wants, it is not difficult to ascend the throne and become the emperor.

Dugu Yongye saw the situation very clearly, but the reason why he didn't immediately agree to be happy, but talked about him left and right, and covered it up, but it was actually a strategy to maximize the benefits. If people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, and it is understandable for him to do this.

When Happy entered the house, Dugu Yongye had already arranged for his subordinates to prepare a banquet, and the wine and food had been almost prepared, and after the order was issued, he and Xing just chatted a few words before someone came to inform that the banquet was ready.

After a bit of humility, Dugu Yongye and Happy moved their arms into the side hall, although the side hall layout is not luxurious, but it is very elegant and quiet, quite suitable for contacting feelings and making heart-to-heart conversations.

The two sat down and did not talk about the topic of Fangcai, but talked about some humanities and customs, interesting things about the scenery, staggered and smiling, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Things always have to be talked about, after three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, Dugu Yongye smiled slightly, sat up straight, and said a little seriously: "Virtuous nephew, the old man was born in the military, although he doesn't know much about the ways of sages, but he really doesn't want to see the people of the world displaced, hungry and cold." It's time for Daqi to be governed, and it's Dazhi! ”

Happy and happy, but his face was as serious as Dugu Yongye, and he said seriously: "What my uncle said is good, severe cases must be taken with strong medicine, otherwise I am afraid that there will be a danger of losing the country!" ”

Dugu Yongye naturally agreed with the happy words, and would never think that this was alarmist. Today's Northern Qi Dynasty, ten officials and nine greedy, and more than one is nowhere to be greedy, so how can this pool of rotten water not make the country go to ruin.

"Although the old man is old and frail, he can still eat and drink every day, and he has some brute strength, and he is willing to do his part for the world, and I hope the regent will not dislike it!" Dugu Yongye's voice was not loud, but his tone was very solemn, and this was also his clear statement.

"The general is too modest, you are in the prime of life, you are my Great Qi Giant, the pillar of the humerus, with your help, why is the Great Qi not prosperous, how can the people be uneasy?" happily threw up the chopsticks, shook it to the end, and said sincerely and excitedly: "The little nephew thanked the general on behalf of his father, and also thanked the general on behalf of all the people in the world, your name will surely be remembered through the ages!" ”

Dugu Yongye smiled modestly when he heard this: "Virtuous nephew, hurry up, the old man wants to protect his family and defend the country as a soldier, and he must seek benefits for the people as an official, so you don't deserve to praise him so much!" ”

Happy bowed again, then raised his head and smiled at Dugu Yongye, everything was silent. After forming an alliance, the relationship between the two is naturally more warm, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, laughing, until the dish is changed three times, the sun is setting in the west, and the banquet is over, the table is already a mess, and Dugu Yongye is flushed and slightly drunk.

Dugu Yongye was supposed to stay happy to spend the night in the house, but he was happy to excuse himself, but the former was not forced, so he let Happy leave.

Out of the Assassin's Mansion, a cold wind blew, and the happy spirit shivered. Even though he had deep internal strength, he suddenly came out of the warm spring-like house, and he was slightly uncomfortable when he was blown by the cold wind. However, as soon as the wind blew, the wine on Xingxing's body seemed to fade a little.

Happy to identify the direction, while going to the inn booked in the morning, while silently using internal strength to drive away the power of alcohol, since Chang'an was drunk and framed by the poison king Yinchi, happy every time he drinks wine, he will inevitably use internal force to drive away the alcohol, only by staying sober and calm at all times can he make fewer mistakes.

After walking dozens of steps, Happy suddenly stopped, suddenly looked back, looked back with his eyes like electricity, and saw a gray-clothed man behind him, seeing Happy Look, he seemed to be slightly stunned, but soon regained his calm, Happy vaguely saw the corner of his mouth with a playful smile and turned around and walked in the direction when he strode forward.

Happy eyes froze, the muscles of the whole body suddenly tensed, the true qi was agitated, and the whole person was as alert as a cheetah pounced, and it seemed that he could send a fierce blow at any time.

The sky is getting dark, there are few pedestrians on the street, although the man in gray looks very ordinary, but he will not be underestimated by Xingxing, how can a person who can follow him hundreds of steps before being discovered is ordinary? And the playful smile of the man in gray also proved the judgment of joy, and the man in gray clearly had some purpose, to be precise, provocation.

Looking at the figure of the man in gray who was about to disappear on the corner of the street, the happy and deep eyes flashed with light, and he secretly said in his heart: I want to see, what tricks are you playing? Then, Xing Xing took a big stride, as if he was chasing the man in gray slowly.

Although it is preliminarily judged that the man in gray is not an ordinary person, he is happy that he is a master of art and bold, so he will naturally not be afraid of him. What's more, Happy has never been a person who is afraid of challenges, he always believes that the sooner troubles are dealt with, the better, or in his bones he is a straightforward person.

As if sensing Happy approaching, the man in gray gradually quickened his pace, leading Happy to the outside of the city. Happy smiled coldly, hung behind him unhurriedly, and the true qi around his body was running, completely dispelling the little remaining wine qi.

Happy and the two chased after each other, and soon left the city and headed towards the eastern suburbs of Luoyang. Out of the city, the speed of the gray-clothed man suddenly doubled, and he was still walking before, but now he was running, flying, the rabbit was falling, flying and galloping, and the speed was better than that of the war horses of the grassland. Happy snorted coldly, still keeping the original distance to catch up, and never fell behind.

After running for more than ten miles in one go, the gray-clothed man stopped abruptly, and happily stood twenty meters behind him. Jumping, although he can't make him the slightest tired, but his whole body is slightly hot, but it is also comfortable.

"Happy Boy is really young and promising, and he is brave enough to skip others!" The gray-clothed man said with a smile, turned his head and saluted happily, revealing a red cheek, which was Wu Zhao's master.

"The old man has a long vein, running like flying, and he is really admired!" happily looked at the man in gray and returned the salute.
