Just when Guo Ye hesitated slightly, Lei Shuyao had already grown up and said, "Just kidding you, why are you still serious?" Silly! People don't want to marry your daughters and serve a husband! If you want to marry me, it's not that easy! ”

With that, she turned around and left!

Looking at the back of the beautiful woman in the distance, Guo Ye was speechless for a while. After a long time, he muttered: "This Lei Shuyao is too fickle!" I really don't know if what she said is true and which one is false. ”

……

……

Yang Sheng did not surrender, and this counterinsurgency was always not perfect. But if you say that you have killed the Xi'er River, Guo Ye really has a lot of scruples.

First of all, fighting with Yang Sheng, even if he won, it also increased the blood debt between the court and the bureaucrats. It's hard to say whether it's worth it or not.

Secondly, after crossing the Xi'er River, this is the territory of Baiman, strictly speaking, it is not the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

The so-called Bai Man, headed by the Fu clan, has many tribes, and is not a country, nor does it claim to be a vassal to the Tang Dynasty.

Before Guo Ye came, His Majesty Li Er also gave him a task, that is, to take the Erhai Sea to Tianzhu, which secretly meant to include the land of the white barbarians in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

If it was an ordinary Tang general, then what he didn't say, just fight. When is it served, when is it finished.

However, Guo Ye thought about it carefully, and this matter really can't be done like this. Putting aside the strength of the white barbarians, even if they are defeated, what can they do?

People can run!

What can we do if there are no people on the land? Immigrant? Won't there be decades to bear fruit?

Besides, the main task this time is to take Erhai Tongtianzhu, followed by the destruction of Baiman. To put it bluntly, the main reason is for the smooth flow of trade between Datang and Tianzhu.

Forcing Bai Man to be in a hurry, people fled far away, specifically harassing your business. Thousands of miles of trade routes, no matter how many soldiers and horses Guo Ye sent, he can't defend them!

Guo Ye felt that the best way to deal with the white barbarians was to focus on economy and culture, supplemented by the military. Find a way to include them in the economic and cultural circle of Datang, and then slowly figure them out.

The ancients said that people from afar were not satisfied, so they cultivated Wende. In a sense, there is some truth.

Now that Yang Sheng has run to Bai Man's territory, Guo Ye led his troops to fight over, and it is inevitable that there will be friction with Bai Man's army. Once you see blood, it's not so easy to get together in the future.

Therefore, sending troops to attack Yang Sheng directly is a next step.

Since you can't fight, you can only surrender. Guo Ye handed over this task to his sworn brother Li Yifu.

Traitors, always able to speak well, good at speculating on people's hearts. Send him to persuade him to surrender, and he is a professional counterpart.

Li Yifu was unambiguous, although he knew that this trip was a little dangerous, he still agreed with it. Seven days later, Li Yifu returned smoothly.

"Congratulations, big brother, congratulations, big brother!" Li Yifu was full of smiles, it seems that this mission has indeed been completed well.

Guo Yedao: "What? Then Yang Sheng promised to surrender? The virtuous brother persuaded the enemy chief with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, and he should be remembered for a great achievement. Brother Fool will definitely ask the court for credit for you. ”

Li Yifu waved his hand and said, "No need. I was able to successfully persuade Yang Sheng this time, but I didn't have much credit, mainly relying on the tiger power of my eldest brother. ”

"I don't like to hear what you say, brother Xian. Whose credit should be whose credit is whose credit, could it be that I will be jealous of your great achievement? ”

Li Yifu smiled bitterly: "It's not that I'm modest, but that's the case." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"After I arrived at Yang Sheng's camp, he was very warm and polite, and all the reception etiquette was according to the highest standard. Not only that, but after I proposed your intention to surrender, he was full of promises. The younger brother prepared a full stomach of words, but he didn't have time to say it in a hurry. ”

Guo Ye was stunned when he heard this, and said, "In this way, then Yang Sheng has planned to surrender a long time ago?" This is strange, why bother in the first place. What is he running, why don't you just surrender at the beginning? ”

"Uh...... Don't worry, listen to what I say, Yang Sheng's surrender is not unconditional. ”

"What? Does he want an official? ”

"It's not an official."

"That's money?"

"Not really. Clearly, he wants people. ”

Guo Ye's expression changed, and he said, "Who does he want?" Could it be that he wants me to hand over Lei Shuyao to him? No way! Absolutely not! I can't do such a treacherous thing. ”

Li Yifu said: "Of course not. Even if he did make this request, I would have sternly refused. In fact, what he wanted was...... You! ”

"Me? What does he want me to do? ”

"He wants you to agree to the marriage with Yang Qingqing! As long as you promise to accept Yang Qingqing as a concubine, Yang Sheng is willing to raise the clan to surrender. Big brother, this is not too much to ask, right? ”

"This ......"

It's really not too much to say that Yang Sheng's request is too much. Guo Ye and Lei Shuyao are unclear. And the Yang family and the Lei family have a deep blood feud. Just surrender like this, can you not mutter in your heart?

Guo Ye's acceptance of Yang Qingqing is equivalent to giving the Yang family a guarantee that he will never retaliate against the Yang family because of Lei Shuyao.

It's just too reasonable to ask.

As for Guo Ye? Marrying a young and invincible beautiful girl, what's not to like?

On the face of it, this proposal is really a win-win ending, with only good and no harm for both sides. But is that really the case?

Let's not talk about the three chapters of the covenant in Guo Ye's family, how can this matter be explained to Lei Shuyao?

That's right...... Lei Shuyao!

Guo Ye suddenly noticed that the figure at the door flashed, followed by the sound of footsteps, and the beauty had already run away.

No need to ask, the conversation between himself and Li Yifu just now has been heard by Lei Shuyao! didn't care about Li Yifu, and with great guilt, Guo Ye chased him out.

"Shu Yao, don't run! You wait for me! ”

It wasn't until he reached his small courtyard that Lei Shuyao stopped and said, "Does King Qin have anything to do with the little girl?" ”

"This ...... This one...... Did you hear what Li Yifu said just now? ”

"I hear you."

"And what do you think?"

"Thoughts?" Lei Shuyao chuckled lightly and said, "I have a lot of ideas, but what's the use?" If I strongly ask, can you refuse Yang Sheng's request? ”

"I ...... I ......"

"Forget it, don't say it, people don't want to see you embarrassed." Speaking of this, a wisp of blood suddenly flowed from the corner of Lei Shuyao's mouth.

Guo Ye hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed her shoulder, and said, "Shu Yao, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lei Shuyao took advantage of the situation to hug Guo Ye's neck and said, "I ate the desperate poison of the bureaucrats and returned to Xiansan, and I am about to die." ”

"I'll take you to the doctor right away!"

"No, there's no cure for this poison." Lei Shuyao smiled sadly and said, "The Han people are rumored to be good at poison, but in fact, there is only one poison that the bureaucrats really secret. I ate it and died, and it was worthy of my status as a saint. ”

"Why are you so stupid?"

"Huh...... I, Lei Shuyao, have been shrewd all my life, and you are the first and last person who says that I am stupid. ”

Speaking of this, Lei Shuyao spit out a small mouthful of blood, she carefully wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with Juan Pa, and said nonchalantly: "This medicine is not only colorless and tasteless, but also suitable for secret poisoning." Another advantage is that it can make people die without pain, which is very suitable for suicide. ”

Guo Yezhi felt a chill and said, "This poison is really incurable?" ”

"That's natural, I'm afraid it won't take a quarter of an hour for Shu Yao to pass away. There is a way, a man is about to die, and his words are good. Qin Wang Chitose, before the temporary, Shu Yao wanted to say a few words to you, can you believe it? ”

"Of course, of course I can believe it!"
