Chapter 1179: Arrived as scheduled
With the sworn brother of Moye as the tiger skin, Zhuoyuan, the Goguryeo Cui envoy, was really popular and spicy on the way to clear the next dozen cities, and was treated with special courtesy by the guards of various important cities.
By the way, Guo Ye, the Goguryeo mission, was also extremely smooth in entering and exiting the next city, and it was indeed smooth sailing and unimpeded, and even the link of being interrogated and inquiring about his identity was repeatedly exempted.
Indeed, with the end of the leaf to go to Luo Some City, it was really as Guo Ye had expected before, the time was saved the most, and the process was simplified to the greatest extent.
However, it was precisely because of the companionship of the Moye Jie that the more than a dozen city guards after Doronir City also knew the latest movements of the Tang Army's Li Jisuo. The city of Doronir fell overnight, and 20,000 Gaochang soldiers were destroyed overnight, sounding the alarm bell for these generals to defend the city, and redeploying heavy forces at the city gates. Who knows when Li Ji's army suddenly arrived and caught them off guard?
For this, Guo Ye can only express regret to Li Ji. It is the blessings and misfortunes that lie in the lurking of misfortunes, and there must be gains and losses, and the same is true of the ancients.
However, compared to his smooth passage through these important cities this time, it was all trivial, and it did not affect his footsteps to go to the city.
In the next few days, Moye gave full play to the role of his tiger skin amulet, and on the seventh day after leaving Golmud City, and on the sixth day of his hasty escape from Doronir City, Guo Ye and his party finally arrived outside the city of Luoqi, the capital of Tubo, and stopped.
The place of rest was less than ten miles from the gate of the king's city of Rakha.
This is an abandoned lama temple, the rafter beams and pillars in this temple have long been cobwebs, and the Buddha statue is stained and fell to the ground, it seems that this lama temple has been abandoned for more than a day or two.
The whereabouts of the lamas here have long since disappeared, and it is not known whether they were destroyed during the last turmoil in the city of Logo, or whether these lamas were relocated to the Potala palace on the Red Mountain to pray for the nobles of the palace and chant Buddha and knock on wooden fish.
This time, it was not Sueha who proposed to rest here temporarily, but his sworn brother, the envoy Choi Mingzhu of Goguryeo. Of course, the real proposer is naturally the person who really makes the decision behind the scenes - Guo Ye.
The last leaf is depressed, this is almost to the city, why did it stop?
So, he sat beside Zhuo Yuan, hugged his shoulders and said affectionately: "Mingzhu, my good brother, why do you rest here?" Isn't that a fool's errand? Hurry up and let your people set off and follow me into some cities, and when you get to the city, I will take you to visit the capital of Tubo, which must be different from your Goguryeo country, and have a different flavor. Besides, my father-in-law, the king of Gaochang is also in the city now, hehe, I will take you to meet him. My wife, Princess Rabbit of Gaochang Kingdom, is also in this city, and I will take you to meet your sister-in-law! ”
Zhuo Yuan naturally couldn't answer him, so he had to repeat his old tricks, and he mumbled and made an authentic signature Goguryeo stick talk.
Ask the strings and know the meaning of elegance, how could Guo Ye not understand? This proposal to stop and rest was a secret to him.
So, he stepped forward and said, "General Moye Yan, my envoy Cui said thank you for your hospitality and generosity, but it's a pity that he can't go into the city with you to meet His Majesty King Gaochang next, let alone your beautiful wife, Princess Rabbit of Gaochang Kingdom!" ”
Speaking of the last four words, Guo Ye responded for a while, Nima's, Princess Gaochang's title is really ugly, there is a rabbit princess, will there be a pig princess, a dog princess, and a mouse princess?
Mo Ye Yan was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "Why?" ”
Guo Ye continued to explain with the calf: "My envoy Cui said that he could only postpone his visit to His Majesty King Gaochang and His Royal Highness Princess Rabbit. Because today, he can't go into town with you, and he must part ways with you here in advance. My envoy Cui proposes that you go into the city, and that he will rest here for about two hours, and then enter the city at sunset. After entering the city, we went straight to the palace of Queen Yunrong of Tubo, after all, we came to visit Tubo to meet her at the behest of King Yingyang of Goguryeo. ”
"Uh......"
Mo Ye Yan was confused for a while, and asked puzzledly: "I know that you have the will of the King of Goguryeo Yingyang this time, so you want to visit Yunrong's mother as soon as possible... Uh, Queen Yunrong, and her good looks, uh, no, her new husband, Xue Yantuo Khan. You want to meet them as soon as possible, I can understand. After all, this is a matter of decency for both countries. But why did you have to part ways with me and go into the city one after the other? ”
Guo Ye deliberately turned his head over Zhuo Yuan, and Zhuo Yuan cooperated alertly and continued to speak Goguryeo dialect.
Subsequently, Guo Ye explained: "My envoy Cui said that he did this completely for the sake of you, General Moye, and he said that you are his sworn brother, and he doesn't want you to have anything to do." ”
"Oh?" Mo Ye Yan raised his two thick eyebrows and said in surprise, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”
Guo Ye poked his head over, Zhuo Yuan popped out of Goguryeo again, and Guo Ye then pretended to translate: "Envoy Cui said, if you first fly back to Luoqi City for two hours before us at this time, you will report the loss of Doronir City and the destruction of 20,000 Gaochang troops by the Tang army to King Gaochang as soon as possible." And explain to the king of Gaochang that the reason why you suffered such a heavy loss this time was entirely to protect our Goguryeo mission from being pursued and wiped out by the Tang army, so you opened the city gate and was finally taken advantage of by the Tang army. Then, with your father-in-law, King Gaochang's preference for you, and the fact that you sacrificed your subordinates and lost the city for the sake of the overall situation, then Queen Yunrong and Xue Yantuo Khan's side will not cure you of the crime of losing the city at all. On the other hand, if you are like us, and you are slowly walking into the city, others will inevitably say that you are fleeing for your life. In this way, even if your father-in-law wants to help you, I'm afraid it will be difficult! Even if you won't lose your life because of this, whether you will be dismissed and scattered, and whether you will be able to lead a soldier alone in the future, I'm afraid it's still unknown! ”
"Hiss......"
Mo Ye Yan gasped, listened to Guo Ye's explanation, looked at Cui Mingzhu with wide eyes, and stroked his palms and praised: "Brother Xian is really from a famous family, and his thoughts are so thoughtful. That's right, if I rush into the city one step ahead of you, I may not be guilty of losing the city, and I can still make a good contribution to the defense mission. But I walked into the city slowly with you, and when I was seen by others, I thought I was greedy for life and afraid of death, so I abandoned the city and fled! When the time comes, there will be a virtuous brother who will clarify for me in front of Queen Yunrong and Xue Yantuo Khan, then sit back and relax! Tsk, great, amazing, the virtuous brother is really smarter than me, but I neglected these twists and turns! ”
"Smack~"
After that, he slapped his face again, then stood up and patted his buttocks, and said, "Okay, just listen to Brother Xian, I will enter the city first, and you will enter the city in two hours later." Wait for the matter to be done, after all the dust has settled, you and my brother will have a good drink, and I will let you meet your sister-in-law, Princess Rabbit, haha...... Boys! ”
With a wave of his hand, the dozens of followers he had brought back called out from the ground and shouted, "First follow General Ben into some cities!" ”
"Brother Xian, see you in the city!"
"Brother... Goodbye, goodbye, brother! ”
Zhuo Yuan stumbled and said this, and watched Mo Ye Yan lead the crowd out of the dilapidated lama temple.
When the end of the leaf was far away, Zhuo Yuan suddenly stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth and said, "Bah, bah, you still have to learn to speak Chinese, it's really embarrassing to say!" ”
Then, he arched his hand at Guo Ye and asked, "My lord, why do we have to part ways with this guy here?" It's better for him to lead us into some cities, isn't this a checkpoint for the Tubo guards at the gate of the city to be checked? ”
Guo Ye shook his head and said, "We are here as scheduled now, and this idiot's mission is over." ”
"Your Excellency!"
Arsenic, who had been speechless on the road, suddenly stood up. With an indifferent face, his eyes glanced coldly at the direction in which they were leaving, and then proposed, "Since this guy's mission has been completed, why do you want to let them go?" Fortunately, they just walked not far away, so it is better for their subordinates to quietly touch up with some fanzi and solve the end of the leaf and his men! This kind of person, if he lives, will only become our enemy in the future, and if he is useless, then he cannot stay! ”
PS: Three more are offered. There's a private matter that I don't want to talk about here, but I think someone might misunderstand if I don't talk about it. The day before yesterday, my grandmother, who suffered from esophageal cancer, had passed away, and I was busy with this matter for the past two days. Today, I have to send my grandmother out of the funeral and send her on her last journey. So, today on the 18th, I will stop changing! The ancestors are great, and I hope they can all understand.
