Guo Ye personally went to the north gate and ordered Xue Rengui to open the north gate and let in the group of uninvited guests outside the door.

A total of more than 100 people rode into the north gate slowly, followed by a convoy of mules and horses of about a dozen or twenty taels.

Guo Ye took a small distance and took a closer look at the person riding the horse at the head, it turned out to be him?

Immediately, he shouted in surprise: "Steward Yu, why are you?" How did you guys get here? ”

Steward Yu was the steward of Yangzhou Thunderbolt Hall that day, since the death of the thunder tiger and the bombing of Fengleizhuang was razed to the ground, Steward Yu led the team under Lei Laohu's hand that specialized in the development of gunpowder thunderbolts to Guo Ye and went to Xichuan Xiaodu Hufu.

Xichuan Xiaodu Hufu is located in the southwest, near Shuzhong, close to the Tubo Kingdom.

The city of Qianzhou is located in the south, and the two places are far away from each other.

Guo Ye was stunned and didn't expect that Steward Yu would appear outside Qianzhou City, which was nearly 10,000 miles away from Xichuan Xiaodu's Protectorate.

When Steward Yu heard this, he followed Guo Ye's voice and urged the mount under his crotch to step forward, and then turned over and dismounted to greet him: "I've seen Lord Guo, haha, it's been a long time." I heard that Lord Guo was quelling the rebellion in the south, and I waited for the brothers of Fenglei Hall to travel thousands of miles, and the wind and dust came in a hurry. Thankfully, it's not too late,"

"I heard I'm countering rebellion in the South?"

Guo Ye smiled and asked, "Steward Yu, what you said is a little insincere." You tell you the truth, who told you to go out of Xichuan and come to the south to find me? ”

"Uh......"

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Steward Yu's shriveled old face, and he sneered, "Uh...... It was Chang'an who sent a letter to General Tong Hu who was far away in Xichuan, saying that he asked our Fenglei Hall to bring the prepared thunderbolts and come to help you defend the city, Lord Guo. No, the old man loaded a thunderbolt full of eighteen mule carriages, trekked through mountains and rivers to waterways and official roads, and it took nearly a month to rush to Qianzhou City. ”

As he spoke, Steward Yu turned sideways slightly and pointed to the mule carts not far behind him, and said confidently: "Hey, Lord Guo, with these thunderbolts to help defend the city, the old man will keep the bandit army as much as he wants, and he will blow up as much as he wants, so that he will not come back." ”

Guo Ye listened to Steward Yu say that the ten or twenty mule carriages were loaded with thunderbolts, and his heart was full of joy. The thunderbolts of the eighteen mule-wagons came just in time, no less than a timely rain.

However, he also noticed the sentence "A letter from Chang'an to Tong Hu sitting in Xichuan" mentioned in Steward Yu's words, so that whether it was Steward Yu or Tong Hu, they were all acting on the orders of Chang'an.

So what is it to call the shots in Chang'an?

Immediately, he asked, "Steward Yu, do you know who sent a letter to Tong Hu in Chang'an?" ”

Steward Yu shook his head and said, "The old man doesn't know very well, but I heard General Tong Hu muttering a few words to the old man. ”

Guo Ye asked, "What did that kid Tong Hu complain about?" ”

Steward Yu recalled for a moment, and said slowly: "General Tong Hu said that his mother's iron face can't walk anymore, and he is so well-informed that he actually knows the movements of the little brother in the south. ”

Tin face?

Can't walk on both legs?

Suddenly, Guo Ye immediately thought of the bronze mask face in the wheelchair, it was him - dark night.

It turned out that he was strategizing for himself in Chang'an at night, and asked Tong Hu to send an order to Steward Yu and Feng Lei Tang.

Guo Ye couldn't help but have no intention of blaming Dark Night's assertions, but secretly admired, okay, Dark Night has set up the intelligence network of Dongchang again in a short period of time, in the end, he is a natural expert in intelligence and espionage, yes, it's really good.

It seems that Guo Ye is quite satisfied with the matter of arranging Steward Yu to lead the Wind Thunder Hall to support him in defending the city.

Steward Yu didn't know what Guo Ye was thinking, and seemed to be a little cold, so he hurriedly said again: "By the way, this time it is not only the old man and the Wind Thunder Hall who came to reinforce Lord Guo, but also a silent and silent handsome brother who led hundreds of people to go south with the old man." Yes, General Tong Hu said that this handsome brother's name is Miji, and he just returned to Xichuan from Tuyuhun to rest a few days ago, and he received a letter from Chang'an. Good guy, this handsome brother set out from Xichuan and went all the way south with the old man and others, and he didn't say a word, even the hundreds of people under his hands were some strange people, some of them had ropes on their backs, some people had several crossbows on their backs, and some people didn't have sabers in their waists, but hooks, and they were all like that Miji Junge, who didn't like to talk. If it weren't for General Tong Hu's explanation, the old man would have thought that these people were born dumb. And, and ......"

Speaking of this, Steward Yu added a little weakly: "How do these people look like soldiers, they are more like the kind of thieves who climb over the wall and enter the hospital." Hey, on the way south, the old man and the others are guest houses, guess where they sleep at night? They slept on trees or on the roofs of other people's inns. What a bunch of weirdos! ”

"Miji? They were sent by the night? ”

Guo Ye exhaled in surprise: "Good guy, this guy in the dark night even gave me the treasure at the bottom of the box, this is because I am worried that I will lose my life here in Qianzhou City." ”

"By the way, Steward Yu, didn't Miji go south with you? Why don't you see them appear? ”

Guo Ye suddenly found that after they entered the city with Steward Yu, the back was empty, and Mi Ji and the others were not found.

Steward Yu replied: "They did not enter Guangnan Road, but diverted to the coastal area of Quanzhou, but he didn't tell the old man what they were going to do in Quanzhou. ”

Guo Ye frowned slightly, and said in his heart, what are they doing in the coastal area of Quanzhou?

"Oh my God, look at my memory!"

Steward Yu patted his forehead lightly, took out a letter that had already been opened from his arms, handed it to Guo Ye and said: "Although that Brother Mi Jijun didn't say what to do, but before leaving to break up, he gave the old man a letter, saying that he asked the old man to transfer it to you, Lord Guo. Hey, along the way, he also said such a sentence to the old man, which is really rare for Chrysostom. ”

When Steward Yu said at the end, he couldn't help but make fun of Miji's stuffy gourd.

Guo Ye explained with a smile: "These people don't like to talk, and silence has become a habit for Miji and them on the march. Don't take things to heart. ”

Guo Ye did not open the letter in time, but waved his hand at Xue Rengui, who was not far away, and shouted: "Rengui, first lead the remaining stewards, and the brothers from the Wind Thunder Hall to unload the mule carts, and then arrange for them to have a good rest." ”

Xue Rengui nodded in response,

Immediately afterwards, Guo Ye smiled at Steward Yu: "Steward Yu, I'm tired all the way, let's go rest first." Tomorrow, we'll get down to business. In a word, you and Brother Feng Lei Tang carried so many thunderbolts today, which really helped me Guo Ye a lot. ”

Steward Yu said politely: "Lord Guo is too polite, this is all something we should share." The old man took the brothers to unload and rest. ”

After saying that, Steward Yu remounted his horse and shouted an order, leading the brothers of the Wind Thunder Hall to follow Xue Rengui and slowly walk towards the center of the city.

After the rest of the steward left, Guo Ye waved his hand at one of the soldiers beside him and shouted, "Bring the torch!" ”

The soldiers hurriedly sent the torches, and by the light of the torches, Guo Ye opened the letter sent by Mijito's steward and read it carefully.

After reading it, I realized that this letter was not written to him by Miji, but was presented to him by Miji's hand in the dark night of Chang'an.

The content of the letter is interesting, in the letter, in addition to explaining to himself the real purpose of Miji's trip to the coastal area of Quanzhou, he also told himself that after he went south to quell the rebellion, a very, very interesting thing happened in Chang'an......
