Kong Yingda crossed the threshold and entered the hall with a round of robes, and then raised his hand to point at Guo Ye, who was holding the bowl, and laughed excitedly: "Haha, Guo boy, the old man said that you can't live so young, tsk, you are really not dead!" ”

Before Guo Ye could respond, Ma Yuanju also came in after Kong Yingda, shook his head and smiled: "It is said that good people don't live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years, so I said that your kid won't die so easily." Died on the battlefield and sacrificed his life for the country? You kid don't look like that kind of fierce person! ”

it~

Guo Ye was a little unhappy when he heard the words of the two, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and walked to the center of the hall, and gagged at the two: "I said Master Kong, Ma Yuanju, what do you two mean?" What's the matter, you're so expecting me to die? Phew, that's bad luck! “

"Hahaha~"

Kong Yingda's mood at this time was obviously very good compared to that in the Guo Mansion Mourning Hall just now, not only because of the secret discussion with Li Jing, but also because of Guo Ye, who is back!

Although this kid is young, he has grown up unconsciously and has become the vane of the Shilin Qingliu system.

If the backbone of the Shilin Qingliu system is Yu Shinan and Kong Yingda, then Guo Ye is undoubtedly the vane that unites all the officials of the Shilin Qingliu system. As long as he continues to be high-profile in Chang'an City for a day, then there will be no one day in the Shilin Qingliu Department who is disheartened. At the same time, it is also a benchmark for the outside world to have confidence in the Shilin Qingliu system.

However, Guo Ye's hippie smile did not act properly, which still attracted Ma Yuanju's complaints: "You said that you have such a broken mouth, why are you still so damaged?" No wonder Lord Yama didn't accept you and let you come back. ”

Although Ma Yuanju is not as prominent as Guo Ye now, he is still accustomed to preaching to Guo Ye, in Ma Yuanju's view, this is the friendship between friends, and in Guo Ye's view, he feels particularly warm.

The two have known each other since they got along, and they have no shackles of fame and fortune in their interactions with each other, and they are the most harmonious and natural.

If Guo Ye is asked to count these people around him, maybe only Ma Yuanju can be called a friend in the true sense. There is no entanglement of interests, no distinction between upper and lower, no difference of subordination, the most pure, pure between friends.

Therefore, when Ma Yuanju was so sarcastic, Guo Ye also shrugged his shoulders, rolled his mouth and fought back: "Lord Yan said that he wanted to accept me." But you Ma Yuanju didn't go down, he was afraid that Guo would be lonely and cold. So let me go back again. Ha ha...... Next time, let's get together and go down to find Lord Yama! ”

Ma Yuanju suddenly looked unlucky when he heard this, and said again and again: "Put away your crow's mouth, my Ma Zhou hasn't lived enough, get out!" ”

"Hahaha......" Guo Ye looked up to the sky and laughed again, watching Ma Yuanju eat deflated again, and he was so happy that he almost couldn't straighten his waist.

"Alright, alright."

Kong Yingda stopped the two from bickering and sarcastically teasing each other, and said with a smile: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, there's nothing better than being alive." Only by being alive can we do what we want to do. Guo boy, Yuan Ju, let's sit down and talk! ”

The two immediately put away their giggling expressions, sighed, and found a chair on each other's left and right to sit down.

Among them, Kong Yingda's identity is respected, and he naturally sits at the head of the hall.

At this time, Huang Ao knew that this kind of occasion was far beyond his ability to participate in, so he immediately bowed to the three of them very self-consciously and said, "Master Hou and the two adults chatted slowly, and the younger one went to the outside of the courtyard to guard, so as not to let the idle people get close and listen." ”

After that, without waiting for Guo Ye's consent, he hurriedly turned back and walked out of the hall, and carefully closed a few hall doors.

Seeing this, Ma Yuanju couldn't help but praise him: "This kid is quite clever and very eye-catching!" ”

Guo Ye said a little proudly: "Of course, you don't want to see who he comes from?" ”

can't help boasting, and if you can't boast, you will blow to the sky.

Fortunately, Kong Yingda relied on his identity and old qualifications, and pressed down his braggart again, and asked directly: "Guo boy, presumably this yellow shopkeeper under your door has already told you about the situation in the Yizhou Hou Mansion." With your ingenuity, you should have thought that this matter is not as simple as you imagined, and if you don't handle it well, it will inevitably cause big trouble. Now your identity as a living person is very embarrassing. Ahem...... Let's talk about it, what happened to you in Tibet? It's been almost half a year, where have you been? ”

Ma Yuanju also looked at the wings, obviously curious about where Guo Ye had gone during this time, how could he be uncertain about his life and death, and there was no news?

Guo Ye showed a solemn look on his face at this time, sat up in a precarious position, bowed his head slightly, and said slowly: "Kong Shangshu, Brother Yuan Ju, this is the case. On the same day, I went to the tomb of the Tubo king with the ministers of the Tibetan state and participated in the memorial of the late Tsangpu Songtsen Gampo in Tibet as an envoy of the Tang Dynasty. But as soon as the memorial ceremony ended, he suddenly heard a deafening sound of horses' hooves and went straight to the king's tomb, which turned out to be the 30,000 iron horsemen of Xue Yantuo's department......"

Soon, Guo Ye told the story of what happened after he entered Tubo, from entering the Tubo Kingdom to meet Yunrong, the queen of Tubo, to going to the royal tomb for His Majesty Li Er to pay tribute to Tubo Zanpu Songzan Gampo, to encountering a surprise attack by Xue Yantuo's cavalry on the way......

Of course, Guo Ye took the initiative to pinch off and not talk about the Yuwenqian, Yunshang, as well as Dongchang arsenic, hammer Li Zhiting, stupid tiger Li Luojia and other people involved in Tubo this time. He wants to rot the affairs of Yuwenqian and Dongchang into his stomach, so as not to suddenly increase the incidents and troubles.

"And then?"

Ma Yuanju hurriedly asked: "You only took 3,000 lonely brigades to Tubo this time, where can you stop the attack of 30,000 Xue Yantuo's iron cavalry?" And then what? How did you survive the dead? ”

"Uh, I said don't worry," Guo Ye swallowed, waved his hand at Ma Yuanju, and said, "You still have to take a breath when you hang yourself, you have to let me speak slowly, right?" ”

Kong Yingda also heard a sudden burst in his heart, and when he heard the key point, Ma Yuanju snorted, and immediately scolded gently: "Yuanju, don't interrupt, let him continue to talk ......"

As he spoke, the old man looked at Guo Ye with blank eyes, and asked softly: "Guo boy, what about then?" ”

"Hi~"

Guo Ye shook his head speechlessly, and said with a wry smile: "The Tubo Kingdom here in Wang Ling did not expect the sudden attack of the Xue Yantuo Congress at all, so he was naturally killed by surprise and suffered heavy losses. As far as I know, Yunrong, the queen of Tubo, should be dead, and basically none of the princes and ministers of Tubo were spared. ”

Regarding Yun Rong's death, Guo Ye can't be 100% sure, but without Lu Denai, Lu Dongzan and other Tubo princes and ministers, absolutely none of them survived, because the three thousand Xichuan troops and the palace guards of the Silly Tiger had already killed Xue Yantuo's cavalry before they attacked.

Of course, now this crime can only be shirked to Xue Yantuo, anyway, there is basically no living mouth on the Tubo side of this matter.

Immediately afterwards, he pointed to his nose and said, "As for me and my three thousand Xichuan troops, didn't Lao Ma say it just now?" No matter how fierce the 3,000 lone brigade is, it is impossible to stop the 30,000 Xue Yantuo cavalry from attacking. So, thirty-six plans, I'll go for the upper plan. If I can't beat it, I'll run! ”

"Where to run?"

Kong Yingda and Ma Yuanju said in unison and asked.

Now both of them are being led by Guo Ye hanging in the air, and their curiosity about the subsequent development of the situation has far exceeded the scope of Guo Ye's cognition.

Guo Ye scratched the back of his neck and grinned: "Where else can I run, naturally I will run to Tianzhu Country!" ”

"What? You actually ran to Tianzhu Kingdom? ”

Kong Yingda's eyes widened, and he asked incredulously: "So you haven't heard from you for so long, and you have been wandering around in Tianzhu Country all along?" ”

Guo Ye snorted, and was about to continue, but he heard Ma Yuanju slap the arm of the chair in a little anger, and got up angrily and scolded: "You are an envoy of the Tang Dynasty who was ordered to envoy to the Tubo Kingdom, and you retreated to the Tianzhu Kingdom in a panic?" Isn't this the prestige of my Datang? Could it be that you were able to return safely this time, and it was also the King of Tianzhu who sent you back? Alas, Guo Ye, Guo Ye, you have really lost the demeanor of an envoy of a country. You ......"

"I'm grass, you really don't have a backache when you stand and talk?"

Guo Ye angrily sprayed Ma Yuanju and scolded: "Could it be that I, as an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, should know that the 3,000 lone army can't defeat Xue Yantuo's 30,000 cavalry, and I still have to stand there and let others slaughter it?" I'll be flexible, save the living force and retreat into Tianzhu and return to Datang in a roundabout way, why not? ”

"Wrong!"

Ma Yuanju had no room to back down, and counterattacked: "You should keep the festival for the Tang Dynasty and be loyal to Your Majesty, and you can't be defeated and flee to Tianzhu Country if you die." Do you remember that there was a Han envoy Su Wu who sent an envoy to the Xiongnu, and was finally placed under house arrest by the Xiongnu in the north for decades, exiled to the bitter cold land and humiliated by his shepherds? But what about Su Wu? He knew that he was an envoy of the Han Dynasty, and he couldn't help but not compromise, let alone surrender. Hungry to eat grass, thirsty to drink snow, until finally the Han Dynasty exterminated the Xiongnu and rescued them back. It has fulfilled the name of its loyal monarch and festival for hundreds of generations. You should follow Su Wu's example ...... shepherd"

"I said your brain was pumping, Ma Yuanju?"

Guo Ye was said by Ma Yuanju to be angry, I grass, Lao Tzu has suffered so much and suffered so many crimes, you even let my buddy and I learn Su Wu to shepherd sheep, isn't this sick?

Su Wuna did not kill him because the Huns were under house arrest, and if I Guo Yeruo also learned from him, the first 30,000 iron horsemen to face, one of them was not careful, and the head fell to the ground or was crushed into meat sauce.

Immediately, he retorted angrily: "Su Wu is Su Wu, and I am me, so he has achieved nothing, and he has only ended up in vain." But do you know how much I gained after I retreated, oh no, after a strategic retreat to Tianzhu Kingdom? It's really pedantic, and I don't understand the flexibility at all. ”

Ma Yuanju listened to Guo Ye's sarcasm and scolding, gritted his teeth and popped out two words: "Qubble!" ”

"Ahem......"

Kong Yingda immediately stood up, stretched out his arms and said, "Okay, okay, this time and that time, Yuan Ju, you are too excited." Wait for Guo Boy to finish. ”

As he spoke, he asked Guo Ye with great interest: "Guo boy, come, keep talking, you are retreating to the defeated country, hehe, what are you gaining after you strategically retreat to Tianzhu Kingdom?" ”
