Li Hong ended the banquet and did not go to rest immediately, but came to the study and said to Chen Gong, "You let Guo Da come to be alone." ”

He always remembered Guo Da, the little boy, because he saw the pain, guilt, resentment, and a trace of unwillingness and loneliness in the eyes of the little boy, so many complex emotions were shown in a boy, and he thought that the boy must have experienced a lot of painful experiences. Besides, Guo Da's parents died and his sister raised him, which made Li Hong think of Zhou Juan and Zhou Xing. He decided to help the siblings.

Chen Gong received the order, bowed down and left, and soon took Guo Da to the study.

This time Guo Daxue was obedient, after Chen Gong's suggestion, he knew what to do, and when he saw Li Hong, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Guo Da, see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Really, His Royal Highness the Prince, can you really save your sister?". Guo Da asked. He didn't dare to think that he had collided with His Royal Highness the Prince, and the prince not only did not punish his own crimes, but was also ready to help him.

"Yes, I like to help people." Li Hong smiled, and couldn't help shouting in his heart, "Please call me Lei Feng." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness." Guo Da first thanked Li Hong, and then told Li Hong what happened to him and his sister.

Guo Da's parents were killed in a battle of Tubo invasion of Hezhou City in the Tang Dynasty four years ago, when Guo Da's parents went out of the city to work, the Tubo army suddenly attacked, and the two did not flee back to the city, but were beheaded by the Tubo army in the field.

After that, Guo Da and his sister Guo Xiang depended on each other. Guo Xiang's girls are weak in physical strength and can't work, just like the field property was sold, and the money from the sale of the field property was used to buy silk fabrics and start embroidery, Guo Xiang's embroidery skills are not weak, and the embroidered things are also good, and the brother and sister can also make a living.

It's just that embroidery still can't completely solve the problem of the vitality of the two, so Guo Xiang found a job as a maid in a big family, specializing in serving the young lady of a big family.

The family Guo Xiang is looking for is Liufu, a well-known big family in Hezhou City, and Liu Yuanwai, who has a lot of property.

Unexpectedly, the third prince of Liu's mansion suddenly fell in love with Guo Xiang's appearance and said that he wanted to take Guo Xiang as a concubine, but Guo Xiang refused to live or die, and threatened with death, so he forced Liu Gongzi's idea to fail. Unexpectedly, in the days when Tubo invaded Hezhou City, Guo Da accidentally bumped into Liu Gongzi on the street, Liu Gongzi broke the jade pendant on his waist after the end, Liu Gongzi wanted Guo Da to compensate, otherwise he would pull Guo Da to sue the official, Guo Da had no money to compensate, Liu Gongzi said to let Guo Xiang pay off the debt and be his concubine, Guo Xiang really didn't want to see his younger brother in prison, so he agreed to Liu Gongzi's request.

When Guo Da said this, he couldn't stop crying.

A boy who has buried his sister's happiness because of his recklessness, but he can't do anything about it, and no one can feel this pain if he doesn't experience it himself.

After listening to Guo Da's narration, Li Hong couldn't help but snort coldly, this was obviously designed by Liu Gongzi to let Guo Da's brothers and sisters fall into his trap. With a simple bump, the jade pendant can be broken, and he also proposed to ask Guo Xiang to pay off the debt, isn't it that he has planned it a long time ago? However, knowing that he designed to frame Guo Da's brothers and sisters, Liu Gongzi dared to go to Guo Da to see the official, which shows that Liu Gongzi also bought off the history of Hezhou City, otherwise he would not have such courage.

A small landlord, not a scholar, can actually have a friendship with Thorn Shipan, and this friendship seems to be not shallow, which cannot but make Li Hong suspicious. What does the Liu family have to make the assassin history of Hezhou City cover up favoritism for him?

"Guo Da, is Liu Fu rich?". Li Hong asked.

"The Liu Mansion is indeed very rich, but it has been a matter of the past few years, and their family was not very rich before." Guo Da said expectantly.

"How much is Liu Gongzi's jade pendant worth?" Li Hong asked.

"Two thousand copper coins." Guo Da said cautiously. This money is nothing for a wealthy family, but for the two sisters, Guo Da and Guo Xiang, it is indeed a huge amount of money.

Li Hong pondered for a while and said, "Chen Gong, you give him twenty taels of silver." Guo Da, you take the silver to compensate Liu Gongzi, and let your sister refuse this marriage. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince, thank you, Your Highness the Prince." Guo Da said gratefully, and was about to kneel down when he was busy, but was pulled by Li Hong, took the silver from Chen Gong's hand, and handed it to Guo Dadao, "Hurry up!" ”

"Hmm." Guo Da took the silver, his eyes were full of tears, nodded fiercely, and strode out of the study.

"Your Highness, since Gongzi Liu designed to frame Guo Da's sister and brother, he may not be willing to ask for these twenty taels of silver." Chen Gong saw Guo Da leave the study, just like Li Hong said. Li Hong sneered and said, "As long as Liu Gongzi still has a little brain, he won't dare not accept the cash." Chen Gong, do you think that everyone can use silver now? Besides, this silver has the silver number of the Tang Household Department on it, and if the Liu family is self-aware, they will know what to do. ”

Chen Gong suddenly realized.

After today's Dengfeng Building, coupled with this ingot of silver, if Liu Fu still dares to embarrass Guo Da's sister and brother, it will really be an ambitious leopard guts.

"However, you send someone to keep an eye on Liu's mansion, and report to Gu as soon as there is news." Li Hong said. Chen Gong asked puzzled, "What does Your Highness mean?" ”

"There must be something wrong with a rich man who has a lot of money to let the assassin cover him, and the money from the Liu Mansion came so suddenly, it is even more problematic." Li Hong groaned, "Last time Hezhou City was broken, we haven't found out who Nei Ying is, and now I'm alone, isn't the real internal cause the people of Hezhou City or other people?" ”

"Your Highness is saying that it may be the Liu Mansion?" Chen Gong was surprised.

"Not necessarily, but don't take them lightly." Li Hong said, "The reason why Lone didn't come forward was that he didn't want to startle the snake, so let's secretly observe them for a while." Lu Dongzan was very safe in the barracks, but after leaving the barracks, there may not be problems on the way back to Luoyang. We must find out who the real Tubo should be before returning to Luoyang, so that we can make proper arrangements in the process of returning to Luoyang. ”

"No!" Chen Gong received the order and strode away.

Randomly, I saw Guo Shifeng striding into the study.

Now that everyone has gone back to rest, Guo Shifeng suddenly came to find him, which surprised Li Hong.

"Guo Qing, do you have something?" Li Hong asked kindly.

"Your Highness, the last general feels that this time as the commander of the Third Route Army, His Royal Highness seems to have other tasks to be handed over to the last general, so the last general has come to inquire." Guo Shifeng replied.

Li Hong smiled, or Guo Shifeng understood himself.

Why did Li Hong let Guo Shifeng be the commander of the Third Route Army, instead of Pei Xingjian or Wang Fangyi? Because among the three people, Wang Fangyi is upright, Pei Xingfang is frugal, and only Guo Shifeng is more tactful. In addition to invading Tubo, Li Hong's Third Route Army also had another purpose, that is, to take the opportunity to loot the gold in Tianzhu's country, causing Tianzhu to be unslow to the Tang Dynasty.

Since Li Hong used hundreds of thousands of troops to exterminate Tibet, he felt that this was not enough to play, if Tianzhu dared to be presumptuous, why not destroy it?

And to complete this task, Li Hong felt that Guo Shifeng was the most suitable.

When Li Hong informed Guo Shifeng of his plan, the general understood. Randomly, Guo Shifeng also had candidates for the deputy general and military general of this march in his heart.

The prince wants him to stay in Tianzhu with an arrogant and domineering attitude, and annoy the Tianzhu people as a robber, which requires that there can be no righteous and gentleman-like generals in his team, so that the black tooth Changzhi is not suitable, but Li Duoqi and the are more suitable, and Yuwen Chongtian is also very suitable, and the black tooth Changzhi and Li Jingxuan and Xue Na he selected before can only do it. However, Li Duoqi and the are the prince's henchmen and the ones who protect the prince's safety, will the prince promise himself?

"Let Li Duoqi be your lieutenant, and let the go out with you!" Li Hong seemed to understand what Guo Shifeng was thinking in his heart, so he said, "By the way, bring Yuwen Chongtian with you, Yuwen Chongtian has the potential to be a fierce general." ”

"No!" Guo Shifeng was overjoyed to receive his order.

Li Duoqi, as the general of the prince's personal guard, really has no psychological pressure in terms of killing people and goods, let alone, who will believe that the Tubo people are not greedy? There is also Yuwen Chongtian, a person who kills very heavily, as long as the person who uses it, it is definitely a sharp sword. With these three people assisting him, Guo Shifeng felt that he would have absolutely no problem completing the task assigned by the prince to know.

"Do you have any questions?". Li Hong asked.

"Nope." Guo Shifeng replied.

"Are you familiar with the history of the Rivers State Thorn?" Li Hong asked, since he arrived in Hezhou City, because of the tense war, he has not had the opportunity to see the history of the assassin of Hezhou, and he was too busy in the past few days to ask Sun Chuyu to investigate on his behalf, and when Sun Chuyue gave him the conclusion, this person's ability is okay, enough to act as a state assassin. Now that there is the Liu Mansion incident, Li Hong has to move his eyes to this assassin again.

"Not very familiar, is there anything Your Highness needs him to deal with?" Guo Shifeng asked in surprise.

"It's nothing, you go down!" Li Hong said. Guo Shifeng, as the defender of Hezhou City, has been dealing with the assassin history of Hezhou City all the year round, but listening to Guo Shifeng's tone, he is not very familiar with this assassin history, which shows how mysterious this assassin history is.

"No!" Guo Shifeng received the order and left the study.

Li Hong's thoughts fell into the matter of Tubo's internal response again. Before, he needed to deal with the Tubo army and Lu Dongzan, and Li Hong didn't have time to deal with this matter. Now that he has time to deal with it, he must dig deeper. This kind of person who buys for glory and becomes a traitor, no matter how big his official position is and how strong his strength is, Li Hong is determined to eradicate it.
