Since Guo Ye crossed the mountains and mountains into the Tang Dynasty, he went straight to Chang'an from south to north, passing through the state and the government along the way, without stopping and alarming anyone, in order to return to Chang'an as soon as possible and reunite with Xiuxiu.

After entering the north, the weather also became bad, the north wind was cold, the weather was cold, and dozens of state capitals around Chang'an were even more than ten days of snowstorms. The wind and snow are so heavy that it is difficult to move forward; The snow was so deep that it was knee-deep.

After returning to Chang'an, Guo Ye was already ragged and sloppy, and in order to shelter from the wind and snow, he wore a hat; In order to be able to walk, he carried a bamboo cane in his hand. This outfit is no different from the stinky food on the street. However, in this kind of weather, beggars are reluctant to come out to ask for food.

Although it is broad daylight in Chang'an City under the heavy snow, it has long lost the bustling scene of the past, with no shops opening on the streets, no diners crowded in restaurants, and no pedestrian congestion on the road.

Anyway, it's just one word: quiet!

Of course, today's Taiping Square is an exception.

Guo Ye, who was so thinly dressed that he was already shivering from the cold, hid at the mouth of an alley in Taipingfang, silently watching the scene at the door of his house in front of him, which was really ridiculous.

Nima's, Lao Tzu is living well, and it is the mourning hall and the memorial at the door, what kind of thing is this?

No way!

This is also too unlucky, grandma's, you have to stand up and prove that Lao Tzu is still alive.

Immediately, Guo Ye took off the hat on his head and threw it directly on the ground, shivering and about to rush over......

It's too late, it's too soon!

As soon as he lifted his legs, he felt someone pulling him behind him, and then an excited shout: "Master Hou, really... Is it really you? You... Are you really alive? ”

The voice was a little familiar, and when he looked back, it turned out that Huang Ao was this kid.

Now, Huang Ao, who was wearing a fur fur around the mattress collar, could see the true face of the person he was pulling, yes, yes, this guy in front of him was really his own marquis.

Immediately, this kid excitedly touched and hugged Guo Ye, and cried with joy: "Master Hou, you are really alive, woo, God really has eyes, you are really alive and back." The little one has been wandering around in Taipingfang here for so many days, but when you come back, God has eyes, and the Bodhisattva has manifested his spirit! ”

Guo Ye couldn't stand Huang Ao, the old man, touching him, and crying so much that he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and then gently pushed him away and asked, "Huang Ao, it turned out to be you kid?" How? Listening to what you mean, it seems that you didn't go to my house to pay your respects, but instead wandered around in this Taiping Fang until I returned? ”

Huang Ao snorted, nodded again and again: "That's right, since the first seven days of our Hou Mansion began to set up a mourning hall, Kong Laoshang Shu and Master Yin Ma Yuanju of Chang'an Mansion let the little one quietly guard in Taipingfang, saying that as soon as he saw the Hou Ye appear, he would let the little one give the Hou Ye."

Stop, don't go home for a while. said that they would lead Hou Ye to another quiet place, and they had other arrangements for Hou Ye. Hehe, finally the emperor lived up to his wishes and let the little one guard the Hou Ye. Tsk, the blind cat met a dead mouse, and today is lucky. ”

Your sister's!

Guo Ye doesn't like to hear this, what does it mean that a blind cat meets a dead mouse?

Immediately, Guo Ye scolded directly: "Who is a blind cat, and who is a dead mouse?" Do you kid speak human words? ”

"Huh?"

Huang Ao immediately reacted that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately confessed his hands again and again, saying, "Hey, Master Hou, this little broken mouth is just underbeaten." Don't go to your heart, the little one is happy to see you return safely, happy in my heart. ”

As he spoke, he immediately untied the mattress collar around his neck, surrounded Guo Ye, and took off the fur on his body to put on Guo Ye, and said with concern: "Master Hou, you will take care of it first, and then buy you new clothes when you get to the small place, and boil some hot water." Make yourself comfortable with a hot shower and get a new outfit. ”

Sure enough, with a fur coat around the mattress collar, the chill on Guo Ye's body immediately decreased a little, his body stopped shaking, and he spoke neatly, and asked directly: "What the hell are Kong Yingda and Ma Yuanju doing?" What's wrong? I'm not going back to my home this time, or what's wrong? If I don't go back, Xiuxiu may not know what will become of her sadness. ”

"No, Master Hou, when the time comes, Xiao will naturally tell you the whole story."

Huang Ao glanced around alertly, and then urged: "Master Hou, hurry up and go with the little one first, let's talk while walking." When you go back, I'll let people go to the Hou Mansion Likong and Ma, and when you finish taking a shower and changing your clothes, the two adults will almost be able to come over and meet you. ”

Guo Ye looked at Huang Ao, who looked anxious, suspiciously, and said secretly, could it be that there is still some mystery in this inexplicable funeral?

He had just returned to Chang'an, and he really didn't know what was going on. I only knew that the family had set up a mourning hall for me, and an endless stream of hundreds of officials from the imperial court came to the house to mourn, many of whom he didn't know, and they didn't intersect at all.

Is there a lot of article in it?

So, he responded: "Okay, then go back with you first, don't go home for the time being, I want to hear what Kong Yingda and Ma Yuanju are doing." ”

"Gotcha!"

Huang Ao leaned over slightly and bent down to pick up the hat on the ground, put it back on Guo Ye, and then led Guo Ye to turn around and walk out of Taipingfang along this alley, to another residence he had arranged.

On the way, he was not idle, and told Guo Ye what he knew as it was, and Guo Ye was silent on the road, as if he had guessed the real purpose of Kong Yingda and Ma Yuanju's move.

Leaving Taipingfang and passing through several north-south streets, Huang Ao led Guo Ye to his residence in Dehuifang, that is, when he married Miss Yujia, his eldest brother Yu Shi Dafu Yu Deshui gave him a three-in, three-out house.

Today, it happened that Huang Ao's strong wife, Miss Yujia, returned to her parents' house, and Huang Ao asked the subordinates in the family to boil water for Guo Ye to bathe, and prepared his new clothes for Guo Ye.

After Guo Ye took a bath in the room, Huang Ao asked the groom to pick up the carriage and went to Guo's mansion in Taipingfang.

The purpose is, of course, to pick up Kong Yingda and Ma Yuanju to meet Guo Ye at their home.

It didn't take long for Guo Ye to take a shower and change his clothes, and came to the main hall to drink tea.

Guo Ye was eating in the hall while thinking about the details that Huang Ao had told him on the road......

It's really a big deal.

He was killed in Tubo, his life and death are uncertain, and there has been no news, so the imperial court and His Majesty Li Er have already decided that they died on the battlefield and sacrificed their lives for the country.

Therefore, not only did His Majesty Li Er let the eldest grandson Wuji handle his posthumous affairs, set up a mourning hall, and set up a mound of clothes, but also stopped the dynasty for three days and ordered all officials in Chang'an to go to Guo's mansion to mourn and pay tribute.

Not only that, but in order to mourn after his death, His Majesty Li Er actually gave him the title of Duke of Pingyang County. and threatened that on the day of the funeral at the end of his first seven days, he would come to see him off.

This is not only a doubling of grace, but to a large extent, it is already a face-saving hero for the living.

Now it's okay, His Majesty Li Er's holy decree has been issued, and what should be done has been done, but at this time, he came back alive.

Guo Ye has realized that he is back alive now, and for His Majesty Li Er, if he doesn't handle it well, it will be a slap in the face.

He finally understood why Kong Yingda and Ma Yuanju let Huang Ao wander around Taipingfang and intercepted him home in advance. It turns out that they are also worried about this.

At this time, Guo Ye had to be cautious.

For a while, I thought of the distress, and I didn't even have an appetite for food.

Let's click~

As soon as he put down his chopsticks, he heard the sound of his feet stepping on the snow in the courtyard outside the hall, and more than just a pair of feet stepping on the snow.

They're coming!

Before the person arrives, the sound comes first!

Huang Ao was already shouting from afar outside: "Master Hou, Master Shangshu Kong of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Yin Ma of Chang'an Mansion, here~"
