Chapter 22: Family Reunion
Gao Huan sent Guan Er to Changle with his own handwritten letter to find Sima Ziru and Sun Teng, which meant that he was willing to surrender to the imperial court and sent Ge Rong's confidant Yuwentai as a meeting gift.
In Changle City, Sima Ziru held the letter in his hand and said to Sun Teng: "Brother Xian, it seems that you and I are really going to be promoted and make a fortune, this He Liuhun really has some means to arrest Yuwentai, and now you and I are going to fly in front of the general." ”
Sun Teng nodded again and again with excitement on his face and said, "I said that I said that keeping this He Liuhun will definitely be useful, you see hahahaha." ”
Since ancient times, it has been very normal for this officialdom to betray their own people in exchange for the favor of the lord, not to mention that Sima and Sun Teng have no real skills, and they can only rely on Gao Huan, a "dead mouse", to hit the luck, and you don't have to be annoyed by these two people.
So the two immediately wrote to the imperial court, and returned to the general Er Zhurong for the fruitful results of this battle, and naturally there were many scenes of boasting about the merits of the two. The official position given to Gao Huan is not bad: Xiangzhou Assassin History. It is equivalent to the state pastor of a state in the Han Dynasty.
Even if Gao Huan is unwilling to do so now, he can't shirk the official letter from Er Zhurong sent by Sima Ziru, but Gao Huan doesn't want to just get out of the tiger's mouth and enter the wolf's den, he doesn't know what kind of person Er Zhurong is, but he can control millions of lions, it is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, Gao Huan really doesn't know what good things he can get when he goes. If you don't say a good word, you will be decided, how wronged you are. What happened to die inexplicably in this chaotic ancient world?
"Boss, I said a long time ago, I can't be recruited by the imperial court. You see, now they want you to go to Yecheng in person, this must be a trap. Big brother, you must not fall for the trick. Li Erhu had a distressed expression on his face.
"Well, what do you have to do to solve this problem?" Gao Huan was in a lawsuit, and he couldn't think of a way to simply not want to, so he made jokes about Li Erhu and Guan Yi and others.
"If you want me to say, we might as well let General Yuwen go, and still be under the command of the king, how happy our brothers are in this Anping County, what kind of assassination history is it if you don't do it." Guan Yiyi answered Gao Huan's question seriously.
"What's your bad idea?" Li Erhu disagreed at the time, turned his head to Gao Huan and said: "Big brother, don't listen to his nonsense, if we do what he said, won't we be repeated villains, and then we will really be hated, grandpa doesn't kiss grandma and doesn't love him." In my opinion, it is better to find a reason to say that you are unwell, and it is inconvenient to travel long distances to Yecheng to receive the decree, and I, Li Erhu, will go on behalf of my brother. "You see Li Erhu patting his chest with a chivalrous and righteous look, as if he really did it.
"That reason is far-fetched, now that we have decided to leave Ge Rong and defect to the imperial court, how can the imperial court believe in our sincerity at both ends of such an indecisive move?" Gao Huan also disagreed with Li Erhu's approach.
"I said you guys are so stupid, you don't have a word to the point when you discuss and discuss here." The little girl Ruyi came in from outside with tea and said.
"What do you little girl know? Are we talking about big things? While playing. Li Erhu said with a displeased face, Guan Yi Guan Er likes you, I, Li Erhu, don't buy your account!
"Tell me your right idea, let's learn the wisdom of Xiao Ruyi's strategy." Gao Huan looked at Ruyi with an interested face, at this time, even if it was a joke, it could be told and listened to, and it didn't hurt.
"If you want me to say, the official, you will take Yuwentai to Yecheng in person, firstly, to show our sincere and obedient attitude, and secondly, to touch the bottom of the imperial court in person, how to arrange us." I don't know when the little girl even changed her title for Gao Huan. Gao Huan looked embarrassed when he heard it.
"Nonsense! You say that if the eldest brother is arrested and executed after he goes, what should I do? Li Erhu jumped up to refute Xiao Ruyi's point of view, in his eyes, what women know, they just do their husbands and children at home to do laundry and cooking. 、
"That's definitely not going to happen, don't worry." Ruyi looked at Li Erhu Guan and couldn't stop laughing, and then said to Gao Huan: "Now that the imperial court is going north to exterminate the righteous army, we are the first to surrender, Er Zhurong will definitely not take the official to kill you, but will reward you with high-ranking officials, otherwise whoever surrenders to the court in the future will all resist the official army to the death." Officials, such as Er Zhurong, is it cost-effective to lose one and a half positions, or is it cost-effective to lose one's own sergeant strength? He looked at Gao Huan with a smile on his face and asked.
Ay! This little girl can, she can't hide her thoughts. Gao Huan couldn't help but think in his heart: If she weren't for the person in my room, I would still be afraid of an opponent like her, who has extraordinary knowledge at a young age, and is still a little woman, a thousand times more powerful than that Sima Ziru! But Gao Huan also faintly felt that this little Ruyi was not like a little cook in the Assassin's Mansion.
Gao Huan flew a kiss at Ruyi with smugness in his heart and said, "You are really not as good as my Ruyi girl, look at how well this analysis is." Then he turned his head to Ruyi and said, "Little thing, then I'll follow what you said, take a walk?" ”
"Official, I'm going with you too." Xiao Ruyi immediately said with an innocent and cute face.
"What are you going to do, little girl! If you want to go, I will accompany my eldest brother. Li Erhu immediately retorted, women should stay at home and honestly be a female celebrity to learn to run a house, and always go out to show their heads like something.
"No, I'm going to go, I've been working as a cook in the Assassin's Mansion all these years, and I've never been to a southern city as prosperous as Yecheng." Xiao Ruyi pouted and begged: "Official, take me with you, okay, I promise to listen to you on the road, and I will do whatever you want me to do." ”
Gao Huan felt that after these words came out, Li Erhu and the others were staring at him, Guan Yi and Guan Erye were discouraged, it seemed that this Ruyi had already been killed by the eldest brother, and they usually didn't know what they were doing together. In the future, when you see Ruyi, you have to behave a little bit, after all, she is the eldest woman.
"What do you see me doing? Nothing happened to me with her? Gao Huan said innocently. Then he glared at the little thing viciously: You can discredit me.
"Official, didn't we say in the room that night that we could do anything when I grow up?" Xiao Ruyi, the god mending the knife, Gao Huan almost died on the spot when he heard it. When did I say that!
Gossip aside, three days later, Gao Huanshuai's five hundred personal soldiers took Ruyi, escorted Yuwentai and set off to Yecheng, before leaving, he did not forget to entrust Guan and his people to Pingcheng to pick up his parents and sisters to come to Anping for reunion, now we don't want to be a thief and be promoted to become an officer and soldier, it is a positive role, and in one is also afraid that Ge Rong will grab his family to blackmail himself, so he simply took all of them to Anping.
Along the way, Gao Huanjing accompanied Ruyi to walk around the streets and markets, and when he walked to a place, he had to eat all the delicious food, and when he arrived in a city, he had to enjoy the scenery of a city, and Gao Huan felt more and more that this little girl must have a story, but it was inconvenient to break it in person. Alas, as long as it doesn't hurt me. Gao Huan said: I can only slowly find a chance to interrogate her.
Anping to Yecheng It stands to reason that it will be able to arrive in five or seven days, but these two living treasures have been stunned for half a month, but Yuwentai who has been in a prisoner car all the way, people are all the way to the mountains and rivers to eat, drink and have fun, he is bumpy all the way, he can't eat well (prison food) and sleep well (prison car), and he has to be escorted at night to have fun, when did this Yuwentai suffer this kind of anger, and he insulted me before he died. Naturally, I greeted Gao Huan's ancestors for the eighteenth generation in my heart.
"Xuan~ Xiangzhou Thorn Shi Gao Huan to see you." The second chair (eunuch) singing at the door screamed to Gao Huan, who was kneeling at the bottom of the steps.
Gao Huan was dressed in gorgeous clothes, lowered his head and walked up the steps quickly towards the Zhengguang Palace, and said in his heart: Damn, this Er Zhurong is not the emperor, and he also declares Laozi, when I am a mother, I despise it!
Entering the Zhengguang Palace, I saw dozens of ministers of civil and military affairs split on both sides, and there was a white-haired old man sitting on the throne in the middle of twenty or thirty meters away, too far away to see his face carefully. Gao Huan looked around, this is the court hall of the ancient kings? Looking at it along the way, I heard that this Yecheng was Cao Cao's base back then, and it was really extraordinary.
The old man stood under the head of a second chair and said sharply: "Bold, looking left and right, still don't kneel when you see the king of heaven?" ”
"Chen Gaohuan has seen the general of the Heavenly King, the villain Murano farmer, he has never seen any big world, and today he was impressed by the Heavenly King's lofty demeanor and this majestic hall, and of course, everyone present is also extraordinary." Gao Huan bowed his hands and knelt down.
Therefore, this person just wants to follow the local customs, sing what drama in where and see the wind and rudder is a university question. I saw the old man laughing, and some people in the audience nodded and some people accepted it with a smile on their faces, in short, everyone loved to hear what Gao Huan said, there was nothing wrong with it!
Seeing that the atmosphere was relaxed, Gao Huan dared to look up at the old man, only to see that the old man had silver hair and white beard, his face was full of red light, and he couldn't see how big it was. If Gao Huan knew that this old man would become his father-in-law in the future, I don't know how he would feel, of course, this is a later story.
"He Liuhun, I heard that you are also from a decent official and military background, how did you also rebel?" Er Zhurong stared at Gao Huan without turning his eyes.
"Alas, the king of heaven Rongyu, when Huaishuo was in the battle, the villain was demoted by the court because of greed for merit, and returned home, because he heard that the villain had to be punished, he had to flee in a hurry, and he didn't want to be caught by Ge Rong halfway, he heard that the villain was in Huaishuo before, and he insisted on pulling the villain into the gang, and in desperation, the villain had to commit himself to the thief camp, and today he had to see the Ming Gong, and the villain should abandon the secret and set the chaos right, and he would like to return to his command, only the king of heaven is looking forward." Gao Huan faked the show and deliberately shed a few sincere tears. That's called a heart-to-heart.
"That's a shame for you. Now that you are the assassin of Xiangzhou, and Anping is your station, you can go north with the lonely to exterminate those small ones, so that the sea can be feasted and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Er Zhurong also said to Gao Huan meaningfully: "At that time, I should be a saint and give you an official and a knight." ”
"Thank you, King!" Gao Huan had a smile on his face.
"I heard that you also brought a meeting gift to Lone this time?" Er Zhurong asked quietly.
"Well, exactly, the villain captured Ge Rong's henchman Yuwentai and dedicated it to the king."
"Where are the people? Bring Lone to see this person face to face. "This Er Zhurong seems to be very interested in Yuwentai, although Gao Huan doesn't understand the reason, but since he brought it, he wants to give Er Zhurong a personal visit. Then he replied: "The people are now in custody at the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. ”
