Seventy-three, the fish play lotus lotus • the world is like chess

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard Qibao talking, and Yu Nuohai came to visit. It's a person from the Prosecutor's Office. The two stopped talking and invited someone in.

Yu Nuohai and Guo Yu once had a time when they were brothers. Later, when he entered the palace and joined the prosecutor's office, he took the initiative to dilute this relationship. It seems that he cares more about his identity than Guo Yao.

hindered his identity at this time, after all, he was sent by the imperial court, so he was waiting on the porch at the main entrance of the Guo Mansion.

Despite the old housekeeper's kind words, he still insisted on doing so, saying that it was not too late to wait for the sixth prince to reply.

Guo Yu is Guo Ziyi's sixth son, and on the scene, some people call him the sixth son.

When Qibao trotted all the way, went to the porch and led Yu Nuohai, and when they arrived at Guo Yu's residence, Guo Yu and Xian Yuyan had already come to the small hall outside the bedroom.

Xian Yuyan is dressed in an official uniform.

Guo Yu washed up briefly, gathered his hair, and casually took a robe and draped it over his pajamas.

Yunuohai came alone.

As soon as Yu Nuohaifu entered the door, Guo Yu first giggled at him and laughed, "Oh, there is a fishy smell from afar." Hahahaha. ”

Yu Nuohai saw Guo Yu's face, but he relaxed, and returned to the freedom and freedom between friends in the past. stepped forward and pulled Guo Xuan's robe, sniffed it, and muttered in a long voice.

"Well——, it's still salted for seven days and seven nights. Hahahaha. ”

After all, he was a person who had been lying for seven days and seven nights, and with his family taking care of him, Guo Hua also had a unique smell of sweat on his body

"Hahahaha, Mr. Yu, don't see outside, besides, I don't have a half-official position, so wear it like this, you can just do it." You're so well informed, I just woke up and you're here. ”

"Hey, compared to Lord Xian Yuyan, I'm far behind. How is it? Brother Guo's health is recovering well. ”

"Good. Good. Okay, I don't even know why I slept for seven days and seven nights. What's the matter? I came to visit my brother, and I brought some gifts and put them on the table? ”

Guo Yu said, deliberately shook his body sharply twice, and looked behind Yu Nuohai's hand, as if there was something hidden there.

Yu Nuohai also smiled and turned around with open arms, but his back was empty. Then he suddenly touched his hand behind his back and pulled out an object.

It's a food box.

Everyone was just about to applaud, but suddenly Xian Yuyan shouted, "Hey, this is what I brought." What the hell is your kid doing? ”

Guo Yu took a look, and sure enough, the round food box was painted with lacquer and silver, which was quite luxurious. It's probably the same thing as what Xian Yuyan brought just now.

Looking at the table on the side again, the one brought by Xian Yuyan was gone.

It's an illusion. There are a few such tricks.

After Yu Nuohai was separated from his sister, he lived in the rivers and lakes for a period of time, begging for a living in a Hu Ren circus class, and he probably learned it at that time.

During the Tang Dynasty, there were many Hu people from the Western Regions who went to Chang'an, Luoyang, or other wealthy cities to make money by performing illusions. Of course, there is no shortage of theft and abduction.

Their best illusion is the cutting off of people's heads. The head was cut off, blood splattered on the spot, and then someone took the severed head back, intact. During the Gaozong era, because of his disgust with the bloody scene, the circus troupe of the Hu people in the Western Regions was once forbidden to perform this trick.

Yu Nuohai did not deny it, grinned, bowed to Xian Yuyan, and handed the food box back to Xian Yuyan with both hands.

Yu Nuohai hugged his fists and said with a smile, "Brother Su Wenxian's cooking skills are superb, coupled with the good ingredients in this palace, the soup boiled must be very delicious." I don't know if my brother has a general oral take. ”

"Hey, hey, hey, you're welcome, let's eat together, let's eat together. Xian Yuyan answered him, walked straight to the table, opened the food box, and was about to serve the soup.

"Ahh Tilt the food box and show it to Guo Yu and Yu Nuohai.

There were no soup jars, but three bottles of wine, held in three small, delicate white porcelain bottles. The bottle is not decorated, plain, but the shape of the vessel is very elegant.

The mouth of the bottle is sealed with a cork, but the soft and graceful aroma of the wine has already flowed into everyone's noses. Shippo grinned, and immediately drooled.

Guo Hua understood it at the moment, got up and patted Yu Nuohai on the shoulder, "It's really good wine." ”

"Offering ugliness, offering ugliness. Yu Nuohai laughed.

"What about my fish soup?" Xian Yuyan touched her stomach, looked at Guo Hua, and then looked at Yu Nuohai. I don't know who to ask for the truth.

"Brother Xian Yu came so early, shouldn't he have put the fish soup on the table earlier?"

Everyone looked for prestige, and sure enough, a gold glazed stew pot was placed on the table.

Guo Hao laughed and couldn't help but applaud, "Wonderful." Wonderful. Xiao Yu'er, you have really put a lot of effort into this means of moving out of thin air. ”

The two brothers smiled. This wine is also borrowed from the palace, and it is said that it is made with the best snow lotus, tiger bones, and ginseng, which is very nourishing. ”

When Qibao heard this, he hurried to the kitchen without waiting for Guo Hua's instructions, took the dishes, chopsticks and wine cups, and took a few side dishes to accompany the wine by the way. spread out on the table, and waited for the people to eat and drink.

Yu Nuohai knew that Guo Hua never despised people, and he also liked Qibao a little bit like the child, so he poured a glass of wine for Qibao to eat. Le's Qibao showed a mouthful of teeth, white, and carefully licked his lips and drank it, for fear of spilling a drop of elixir and jade liquid.

After drinking three glasses of wine, the three of them were still frolicking, laughing and scolding casually.

Guo Hua and Xian Yuyan glanced at each other a few times, and understood that it was not simple for Yu Nuohai to come here.

Xian Yuyan tested Guo Hua's attitude, Guo Hua still cherishes such a scene, and it has been a long time since he joked so casually between himself and Yu Nuohai.

Although Guo Yu also wanted to know the purpose of Xian Yuyan's trip and what kind of news he would bring. But if he did, he would be what he wanted to know? Maybe he would be embarrassed or unhappy.

Thinking of this, Guo Hua simply let himself go and laughed as he pleased.

If he wants to say it, he will. Why waste this good time?

However, after a long time, Xian Yuyan was always a little timid, moving her body and buttocks, fidgeting.

Yu Nuohai is a clever person, seeing Xian Yuyan's embarrassment, he thought that his delay in expressing his intention might make Xian Yuyan misunderstand, because it was because of his existence that it was inconvenient for him to speak.

Yu Nuohai smiled before speaking, and hugged his fists, "Brother Xianyu, don't mind." This time, half of my visit was indeed on official business, and the other half was out of my younger brother's private reverence for Brother Guo and General Guo. ”

As he spoke, Yu Nuohai turned his face to Guo Xuan. Still smiling.

Not pleasant news, indeed.

When Yu Nuohai mentioned General Guo, Guo Hua's heart suddenly felt cold, although he was prodigal by nature, but after all, he was in the Guo family, and he could still understand the situation in the court and his father's difficulties. Especially in recent days, I have encountered all kinds of hardships, and I feel the hardships of life.

Although his father had outstanding military achievements, he held military power. However, how is this feats and military power not a shackle?

Not to mention the An Lushan Rebellion and the disaster of the Tubo country, just his emperor's own account is enough for people to be upset.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, the war against An Lushan traitors has been very smooth, and there are more world-famous feats in recovering Chang'an. The emperor himself knew it.

However, the Emperor Taishang Dragon has ruled the world for decades, and he is powerful in the Eight Desolations, and even most of the civil and military generals of His Royal Highness are left by him. Obedience may not be loyalty! In addition, when the emperor was in the East Palace, he had all kinds of disagreements with the Emperor Taishang, and even almost lost his life several times. How could he forget?

Moreover, there is the Yongwang Li Lan in Jiangling. Stir.

At this time, my father was like a sharp sword. Anyone wants it. If I don't get it right, I'm afraid that my father's sword will hurt me and harm the whole clan.

Yu Nuohai, as Li Fuguo's subordinate, suddenly mentioned his father, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing.

I don't know if the emperor he represents is Li Fuguo.

Although Li Fuguo is the most trusted person of the emperor now, however, after the power is overwhelming, the variables are unpredictable.

Guo Hua's expression was stunned, he didn't know how to answer his words, and he didn't want to answer. Now that he's open, let himself continue.

Seeing that Guo Yu didn't speak, Yu Nuohai was relieved, so he continued the topic alone: "Actually, Brother Guo, the chief manager already knew about the visit to Bian Lingcheng. It is not difficult to guess who told Brother Guo to do this matter. The chief manager just asked me to bring you a word, and he watched your every move. What you know, he knows better. ”

If Yu Nuohai doesn't say these words, Guo Hua can also think of them. At present, the most minions in Chang'an City have the most eyeliner than Li Fuguo. It's just that how much exaggeration is in this statement?

What did he mean by these words?

"That's all?" Guo Wei smiled slightly and asked disappreciatively.

"That's all the Lord Governor said. Yu Nuohai stopped, sighed, and continued: "When a person has been in power for too long, he may feel that the whole world is overturned by himself. In his old man's opinion, saying this was enough. ”

Guo Yu smiled, he could imagine what the world was like in Li Fuguo's eyes. Whether he is Guo Yu or his father, they are just flags at his mercy.

Many people think that they are chess players, and rarely think that they may be just chess pieces in the hands of others.

While Guo Hua was pondering, Yu Nuohai continued: "The current situation, not to mention An Lushan, Tubo, and crows, is also chaotic and treacherous for Li Tang's own family. For those who are courtiers, there is only a chance to choose, and if you choose the right one, you will be glorious for many generations, and if you choose the wrong one, you will bring disaster to the whole family. Lord Li, standing beside today's son, is the grace of the emperor, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition. However, in my opinion, the people on the table are the choices, and under the table, there may not be no other choices. ”

In the second half of the sentence, Yu Nuohai's expression was on the side, and his tone became meaningful.

What he said made a lot of sense. The people on the table, the people off the table, take a long-term view, maybe it is the most beneficial to the Guo family.

It's just that who is that person under the table?

"Oh, I think these words are what Xiao Yu'er wants to say to me. Guo Hua saw his change, "It's just you—"

"I have received a lot of favors from Master Li, and I have served him, but in this world, there shouldn't only be power and desire, right? ”

"Oh, it's not just him, I'm afraid it's not just me!" Guo Wu confessed his thoughts, but he didn't mean to ask the other party to answer.

This visit to Yunuohai is far more complicated than imagined.

Yu Nuohai clenched his fist and tapped it lightly, but did not answer Guo Hua's question.

"Then, Xiao Yu'er, the fire in Nanshan at the end of that day was also set by you!"

Yu Nuohai smiled but did not answer.

"In the sinkhole, the person who saved us from hanging down the soft ladder is also you, right?"

Yu Nuohai still smiled and did not answer.

"Don't admit it, don't you deny it?"

"Nope. Actually, I'm also looking for an answer to how to tell you. ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

"Hahahaha, some roads are not easy to find directions, and some questions are difficult to answer. Perhaps, I am looking for my own direction and answer. ”

"I hope that when you find your own answer, we can still sit down and have a drink without worry!"

"It shouldn't be that hard. By the way, there is one more thing, General Chen Xuanli has been given death by the emperor. At this moment, I am afraid that the holy decree of my coming has been carried out. ”

When Yu Nuohai said this, his expression was cold, and he couldn't see what he thought about this matter, or whether he was sympathetic or happy with Chen Xuanli.

Talking about a person's death so indifferently still surprised Guo Yu, maybe Xiao Yu'er is hiding something. Perhaps these years of wandering in the rivers and lakes have already made him look down on people's life and death.

Guo Yu and Xian Yuyan glanced at each other. That night, Bian Lingcheng was taken away by the man in black who later turned into a nine-tailed demon beast, and at that time, they thought that General Chen Xuanli was probably more than lucky.

Three days to decide a person's life and death is too cruel.

Seeing that they were silent, Yu Nuohai continued: "This matter is originally a sin that is added to desire, and it is useless to worry about it. However, one thing is true, the emperor really cares about Bian Lingcheng's affairs. ”

When Guo Yu and Xian Yuyan heard this, their eyes immediately focused on Yu Nuohai's face.

If they want to add to the crime, the two of them are clear, although Chen Xuanli, as the general of Longwu, is responsible for guarding the imperial city, but Bian Lingchengzuo is just a prisoner, and he was robbed in Dali Temple, so he can't commit a capital crime.

The emperor wanted to get rid of Chen Xuanli, but it was just to confront the old man.

The two of them thought that Bian Lingcheng was just a bargaining chip in the eyes of the emperor. Does the emperor really care about him?

Oh, yes. The father confessed that he had visited Bian Lingcheng. As a result, crows were involved. Could it be that Bian Lingcheng still has any secrets that make the current emperor have some concerns?
