The river boat that fluttered the dragon flag of the Tang Dynasty and crossed the river at night was indeed sent by Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo.

The person who came not only brought Guo Ye the good news that the Lingnan Road army had conquered Lingnan City, but also brought Li Jing's message to Guo Ye.

Li Jing mentioned in his letter to Guo Ye that he had taken Lingnan Mansion for several days, and he could also observe the recent battle situation of Qianzhou City, which is across the river, and saw the battle at the west gate of Qianzhou City from the ferry terminal of Lingnan City, and congratulated Guo Ye on his victory in the first battle and finally took Qianzhou City.

Subsequently, he reminded Guo Ye at the back of the letter that taking Qianzhou City was just the beginning, and he must not get carried away, and the next situation would be even more difficult. Qianzhou City hoarded the gold, silver and jewels looted by the White Lotus Sect in the fifteen state capitals on Lingnan Road, and this rich wealth will make Qianzhou City the target of public criticism and become a huge spiral nest.

Because the treasures hoarded in Qianzhou City are not only coveted by the White Lotus Sect, but also the forces of the Guanlong clan behind the scenes.

At that time, Guo Ye will not only face the counterattack and suppression of the 10,000 or 20,000 White Lotus Sect Protectors, but the encirclement and suppression of hundreds of thousands or even nearly a million White Lotus Sect Protectors.

When the White Lotus bandit army rushes out and goes straight to Qianzhou City to regain this treasure, he will take the opportunity to lead the Lingnan Road army all the way south to recover the other fourteen state capitals that have fallen.

Therefore, he said at the end of the letter that he hoped that Guo Ye would defend Qianzhou City for fifteen days from now on, no matter what the price was.

Although it was Li Jing's cliché, it made the joy in Guo Ye's heart because of the victory in the first battle disappear. It's not a slap in the face, but it also has some effect of waking up the alarm bell.

After reading the letter, Guo Ye put the letter away and asked the messenger, "Wei Gong's letter, this official has read it." Does he have anything else to say to you? ”

The messenger snorted and said with an embarrassed expression, "Duke Wei also asked the lowly to convey his apologies. ”

"Excuse me?"

Guo Yeqi said: "What do you mean? ”

The messenger said in a low voice: "Duke Wei said that because of his negligence, he did not capture the White Lotus Sect Leader Hu Bilie when he captured Lingnan City, if he is not mistaken, Hu Bilie should have escaped from Lingnan City in disguise during the chaos of the city. ”

I fainted, and I let Hu Bilie escape?

Guo Ye couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Duke Wei, this is an old horse's stumble, his reputation in this life can be regarded as ruined in the hands of this cult leader." No wonder he was embarrassed to mention it in the letter, but asked you to relay it with your mouth, what a proud person he is, eighty percent of his old people are so angry that they can't sleep these days, right? ”

"Uh......"

The messenger arched his hand and whispered, "Don't dare to talk about the Duke of Wei Guo behind your back!" ”

Speaking of this, he weakly added: "But Wei Guogong said that in addition to going south to recover other state capitals on Lingnan Road, even if he digs three feet into the ground, he must capture Hu Bi Liesheng and send him to Chang'an to suffer from Ling Chi." ”

"Tsk, it's ruthless, I guess your family guard is really angry."

Guo Ye really wanted to see Li Jing, who had always won the game, after suffering a sullen loss, he looked like thunder, and then joked at the messenger: "Okay, the next battle is tight, and the official will not keep you." After you go back, help me bring a message to Wei Gong, and say that Master Guo said, let your old man dissipate his anger and defeat the fire, otherwise he will hurt his liver! ”

"Uh...... Don't dare! ”

The messenger knew that this was a joke, so he naturally did not dare to laugh, and then took his leave, turned around and walked down the West Gate Tower, and hurried back by boat overnight.

As soon as Li Jing's messenger left, Pang Feihu, Kang Bao, Ruan Laosan, Cheng Erniu and others came one after another, obviously the other three doors had been decided, but only Xue Rengui's kid was missing.

Guo Ye hadn't asked Ruan Laosan where Xue Rengui had gone, but he saw Ruan Laosan and Cheng Erniu arguing and arguing all the way, you scolded me and I scolded you.

Cao Luxun glanced at Guo Ye in confusion, as if asking what happened?

Guo Ye hesitated, and immediately guessed what was going on, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "It's okay, these people have always been dog-eat-dog, and they are used to fighting, and you will get used to it if you stay by my side for a long time." ”

When a few people arrived, Ruan Laosan, who was wrapped in bandages, took the lead in complaining to Guo Ye: "Little brother, Cheng Erniu is too bullying, and he always relies on you to be his brother-in-law, so you should teach him a good lesson." ”

Without waiting for Guo Ye to speak, Cheng Erniu couldn't wait to scold his thick red neck: "Let your mother's stinky fart, Ruan Laosan, you old gourd, you will fucking be in the nest!" ”

After scolding, he didn't forget to shout at Guo Ye: "Uncle, don't listen to this old gourd's report, this old bastard is too shameless, I really haven't seen such a stinky and shameless thing." ”

"Cheng Erniu, you don't wronged people, when did my Ruan Laosan get in the nest? I think that when I was in Longxi County, when it was time to pay the monthly money, you kid always borrowed money from me, and I wanted to say, your kid is a typical white-eyed wolf. ”

"Where's the calf? It's true that Lao Tzu borrowed money from you, but didn't he pay it back in full? It's you Ruan Laosan, Lao Tzu borrowed silver from you once, and you have to rub me two meals of old wine to drink. Every time you come to my house, you drag your family to bring your mouth, your daughter-in-law is holding two babies, grandma's, and you can eat five or six catties of sweet potatoes in one meal, you old boy is not less in my body, right? ”

"Cheng Erniu, you rabbit cub, you ungrateful white-eyed wolf!"

"Ruan Laosan, you love to take advantage, eat and take money that is never soft!"

For a while, the two of them argued with red faces, it was really public to say that the public is reasonable, the mother said that the mother is reasonable, you have your grievances, and I have my reasons, so they have been arguing endlessly in front of Guo Ye.

Pang Feihu and Kang Bao glanced at each other, and secretly turned their heads away, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, Nima's, now you still have some old accounts, are you stumbling? Shame, shame!

And Cao Luxun was also stunned by the content of the quarrel between the two, and looked at Guo Ye dumbfounded, as if asking, are these the two fierce generals under Lord Guo? A court general with a battalion of thousands of soldiers and horses?

But Zhu Fatzi, who rushed back later, hid far away and couldn't come forward, because he was worried that if the two quarreled again, they would turn over the old accounts, and they would also turn over the bad things he had done back then, and it would really be a fire at the city gate and the fish in the pond.

"Okay, shut up Lao Tzu!"

Guo Ye finally couldn't listen to it anymore, and immediately lowered his face and roared flatly: "Look at what you two look like now?" It's like a shrew scolding the street, you don't feel ashamed, I feel ashamed for the two of you. Shut up for me, who is fooling Lao Tzu promised to throw him into the Heishui River to take a cool bath, and wake up by the way. ”

In the end, Guo Ye was furious, and the two of them closed up decisively and immediately quieted down, but judging from the expressions and faces of the two, they were still angry, and their grievances were still there.

Guo Ye glared at the two fiercely, and said unhappily: "Isn't it because of the thing at the East Gate?" Who occupies it or not? Erniu, did you take the lead in leading the troops to capture the East Gate? ”

"Huh? Uncle, how do you know? ”

Cheng Erniu asked in surprise: "Why am I arguing with this old gourd, and my uncle is not a prophet?" High, really high! ”

As he spoke, he gave Guo Ye a thumbs up stupidly.

"Less sycophants!"

Guo Ye reprimanded Cheng Erniu, and then asked Ruan Laosan: "Third child, did you lead your sword and shield battalion to arrive after Erniu and them captured the east gate?" And then Erniu, this kid won't let you come to grab the credit, and you can't get angry and argue, right? ”

Ruan Laosan said hesitantly: "Uh...... Sort of, but it's not all, little brother, listen to me, there are other twists and turns here, but don't listen to the nonsense of Cheng Erniu, the king and the eight calves. ”

"Fuck you, that's the way it is!"

Cheng Erniu Ruan Laosan again, and scolded stinkingly: "Ruan Laosan, don't you want to cover up your shame, you old gourd, I ......"

"Huh?"

Guo Ye snorted softly, so frightened that Cheng Erniu closed his mouth again before he finished speaking.

Afterwards, Guo Ye looked at the two of them and scolded: "That little Jiujiu in your heart, those bad things, I still don't know?" grabbed the merit like a shrew scolding the street, and you two can be regarded as having a long face for me. What does it mean to be brothers working together, and its benefits are golden? What does it mean to be united? What is the Woe Wall? I think you have really forgotten how our brothers survived back then, and can we really only share hardships and hardships, not prosperity and prosperity? You have disappointed me so much! ”

After some loud words, Cao Luxun, who was still an outsider for the time being, was silent, but nodded his head again and again in agreement.

And Cheng Erniu and Ruan Laosan also lowered their heads a little embarrassed, and their hearts were more or less empty.

Guo Ye looked at the two of them, thought about it for a while, and each of them raised fifty boards and said: "The matter of the East Gate is over, you two are really not angry, it disappoints me too much, there is neither merit nor reward, I hope that the two of you will take this as a warning, and never fight for fame and fortune again." ”

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Erniu was naturally full of unwillingness and grievances, and Ruan Laosan was a little guilty, and silently lowered his head again.

Guo Ye suddenly changed his words and said: "But there are two errands left to the two of you to do, don't say that I won't give you a chance, as long as you do your own errands, you will be rewarded for your merit." Want to take on this errand? ”

"Yes!"

"Of course!"

Suddenly, the two of them raised their heads together, looked at Guo Ye with a look of expectation, and replied in unison.

Guo Ye hummed and was about to speak, when suddenly, a person rushed in the distance, it was Xue Rengui.

Xue Ren had not yet arrived, but the voice had already arrived: "My lord, my lord, my God! It's amazing, in this life, I Xue Rengui can be regarded as an eye-opener, mountains and piles of gold, silver and jewelry, I have made a fortune, this time I have really made a fortune! ”
