Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

On this day, Sun Zishan, Grand Master Changsun, Turtle Dove, and Guo Ye were chatting together, when a guard came to report, "Mr. Pingyang, an envoy from Baekje is begging to see you and... Lord Sun Zishan!"

The person who came was Sun Tzu-shan's cheap father-in-law, the monk of Baekje's national teacher.

As soon as the old handsome monk came in, before he saluted Guo Ye, he looked left and right at his grandson and said, "Son-in-law, how are you hurt? Have you ever seen a doctor?"

Seeing that the old monk cared about him so much, Sun Tzu was moved, and said, "Thank you father-in-law for your concern, it's just a flesh wound, nothing serious."

Guo Ye coughed, interrupted the Weng and his son-in-law, and asked, "Reboot monk, when did you come to Goguryeo?"

Hearing this, the Jiese monk bowed his head and paid homage to Guo Ye, saying: "The little monk just arrived yesterday, and he didn't have time to pay a visit to the Duke of Pingyang, so he was recruited by Baekje Wuwang Fu Yuzhang. Ordered by King Wu, I came here to invite Duke Pingyang."

"invitation?"

"That's right. King Wu said that he didn't know that Duke Pingyang and Princess Shanhua were in love, so he made a reckless move. This time, I prepared a little wine and invited Duke Pingyang and Princess Shanhua. Firstly, it was to congratulate Duke Pingyang and Princess Shanhua on a hundred years of happiness." Hey, secondly, it's to apologize for Meng Lang the day before yesterday. At that time, please give me your honor!"

Guo Ye took the invitation, sneered, and said, "So, Princess Shanhua still has another invitation?"

"Exactly!"

"Bring it to me!"

"This...isn't right?"

Saying it was wrong, the rebooting monk still took out another invitation card.

Guo Ye snatched the invitation card. There were quite a lot of words on this invitation card, just like a love letter.It describes in detail Fu Yuzhang's pain after Princess Shanhua's change of heart, and Fu Yuzhang's wish for Princess Shanhua's happy life in the future.It was only at the end that he lightly wrote about inviting Princess Shanhua to the banquet, without mentioning Guo Ye at all.

Guo Ye snorted coldly, "Is this written by Fu Yuzhang?"

"In fact, it was dictated by the monk, and written by His Majesty King Wu himself!"

"Okay, the writing is good. This paper is also good, it looks flammable at first glance. Sun Tzushan..."

"Teacher, what are your orders?"

"You taught the invitation to the kitchen and burned it as firewood. It's a pity that such a good paper can't be used as firewood..."

"Yes!" Sun Tzushan turned and left.

The Jie Se monk had a wry smile on his face, but he didn't dare to stop him, saying: "Mr. Pingyang County, what about the invitation card!"

"It's okay, I'll just tell Princess Shanhua myself. I don't need to bother you, Monk, you have to make an extra trip!"

"So, there is Lord Lao Pingyang."

Guo Ye looked at the rebooting monk and sneered, but didn't speak.

The abstinence monk was stared at by Guo Ye and felt guilty, so he asked helplessly, "Why is the Duke of Pingyang laughing?"

"Hmph, what kind of moth does Fu Yuzhang want to punish again, abstinence monk, tell me!"

"This……"

"It doesn't matter if you don't say it. I took my grandson to the banquet. If something goes wrong, don't blame me, Guo Ye, for not taking care of my apprentice. You, the father-in-law, don't care, and I, the master, have no responsibility." gone."

"This... shouldn't be dangerous!" The rebooting monk replied nana.

Guo Ye's complexion changed, and he said, "There should be no danger? Monk, you have to think clearly, if an assassin goes after Gao Jianwu, Sun Zishan can take that one hit. Your son-in-law's luck is not very good, maybe there will be What an unbearable thing!"

The rebooting monk said helplessly: "Actually, I don't have any plans. I just want to find a way to regain Princess Shanhua's heart!"

"Oh? Come and listen!"

"At this point, there is actually no good way. Four words—heroes save the beauty!"

"What about it?"

"I don't know the specific arrangement. In fact, it's impossible to have any careful plan. It's just playing by ear. The place you are going to is called Jinbihuanghuang Restaurant, which is the tallest building in Goguryeo. Baekje arranges manpower Molesting Princess Shanhua, His Majesty King Wu will be a hero to save the beauty!"

Guo Ye sneered and said, "A hero saves the beauty? Doesn't he know that I, Guo Ye, have extraordinary skills. Slaying a general in an army of thousands of horses and capturing the flag is like picking something out of a pocket! Heroes save the beauty in front of me, Fu Yuzhang must have lost his mind."

"I know, I know, but His Majesty King Wu has brought a lot of good hands this time, including the ninja from Fusang. Duke Pingyang should not be underestimated!"

Guo Ye's heart moved, and he asked, "Ninja?"

"That's right. Baekje and Fusang have always been friendly. The royal families of the two countries have always communicated with each other. There was a generation of Baekje kings who even grew up in Fusang. Therefore, it is really easy for Fuyuzhang to ask for some ninjas." thing!"

"Then let me ask you, was the assassin who assassinated Gao Jianwu that day sent by Fu Yuzhang?"

"The little monk doesn't know."

"Ok?"

"Probably so. I really don't know the specific situation!"

Guo Ye walked up to the rebooting monk and said, "The assassin almost killed your son-in-law and made your precious daughter a widow. Are you really not angry and want to investigate this matter to the bottom?"

The rebooting monk murmured: "Actually, that ninja is a dead man, he didn't want anyone's life at all. This time he is going to die!"

"You said you didn't know just now, but now it seems that you are quite clear!"

The monk who quit color smiled bitterly and said: "That's because I don't think Sun Zishan is in any serious trouble. Duke Pingyang, you must know that the daggers of ninjas are all poisoned, and the emphasis is on sealing the throat with blood. This ninja's dagger If there is no poison on it, it means that he didn't really want to kill someone!"

Guo Ye asked calmly: "Then what do you think is the purpose of Fu Yuzhang?"

"It should be to stir up the civil strife in Goguryeo, and Baekje's good fisherman will benefit! If Gao Jianwu is assassinated, Yuangai Suwen's family will dominate, which is not what Baekje wants to see. As long as the assassination happens, Gao Jianwu may have What do you think? The struggle between him and Yuan Gai Suwen has escalated."

Guo Ye pondered: "No, isn't Baekje planning to join Goguryeo? How could it stir up civil strife in Goguryeo?"

"You know this too? In fact, it was the wishful thinking of Gao Jianwu, the king of Rongliu. The royal families of Baekje and Goguryeo have been separated for hundreds of years. How can there be any incense? Fu Yuzhang is nothing but hypocrisy. I think Goguryeo The King Yingyang didn't pay much attention to this matter, and the only one who really jumps up and down is Rongliu King Gao Jianwu."

Guo Ye thought to himself, no wonder Fu Yuzhang agreed to withdraw from the Fairy Fairy Club so readily, since he had no intention of cooperating with Goguryeo at all.This is a fight to the death between Goguryeo and Silla.

Sending the rebooting monk away, Guo Ye asked the crowd, "Since it's a banquet and there's nothing good about it, do you think we should go?"

Turtle Dove said: "My lord, you are the one to go, not us!"

"What do you mean?"

"This is a rare and good opportunity to completely expose Fu Yuzhang's true colors. If you don't go this time, he will make another plan, but it is impossible to guard against it. Not every time someone can tip off the news."

"Then why do you say you won't go?"

"We have all met Fu Yuzhang, and he saw that he was a familiar face, so he canceled the plan, which is not beautiful."

Guo Ye said: "Two fists can't beat four hands. If I go alone, the chances of winning are not great. Don't steal the chicken and lose the rice."

"If our people don't go, we can ask for foreign aid!"
