Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 318

After Guo Ye finished complaining about Kang Zhiru, he got off his horse, took off the water bag on the saddle and drank a few mouthfuls, then threw it to Zhao Jiuchou with a bang, and said, "It's still early, let's rest for a while! Here——"

Pointing to Yiwan Qingquan, he said: "Let's go there and drive all the way. The horse must be hungry and thirsty. Eat some grass and drink some water before we go on our way."

Zhao Jiuchou hummed, and followed Guo Ye leading the horse towards Qingquan.

Letting the horse nibble on the grass by the spring, the two each found a big rock and sat down to rest their feet.

In his spare time, Guo Ye suddenly asked: "You got up early today, so Pang Feihu and others must have known about Zhang Xiaoqi, right?"

Uh……

Zhao Jiuchou was taken aback by Guo Ye's sudden mention of this question, and then replied honestly: "In the morning, Zhang Xiaoqi's body was found by patrolling soldiers outside the city and brought back to Tuva City. At first, Pang Feihu , Ruan Laosan and the others were excited, but after I told about Zhang Xiaoqi night running out of the city to inform the Yizhou government, everyone knew it. But—"

Guo Ye asked with great interest: "But what?"

Zhao Jiuchou thought hard and hesitated for a moment, twisted the water bag in his hand, threw it back to Guo Ye, and said in a deep voice: "However, Pang Feihu, Ruan Laosan and the others still made a fuss about burying Zhang Xiaoqi. They didn't inform you, but I was there."

After all, he looked at Guo Ye with a strange expression, seemingly a little worried.

Guo Ye happened to meet him face to face, and he could see it clearly. He couldn't help laughing, and said, "Are you worried that I will anger Pang Feihu, Ruan Laosan and others because of this matter?"

Zhao Jiuchou was not without concealment, and nodded to express his worries.

Seeing this, Guo Ye couldn't help shaking his head and said: "Then you are wrong. If they let Zhang Xiaoqi's corpse die in the wilderness, let the wild wolves share the food, no matter whether they ask, brother, I will despise them. Although Zhang Xiaoqi betrayed I betrayed my brother, but at least I came out of Longxi County together, and I am also an old man of our Guo family class. If they don't even have this kind of incense, how dare I entrust them with important matters in the future?"

Zhao Jiuchou seemed to understand something from the words, nodded thoughtfully, muttered to himself, and seemed to ask back: "I understand what you mean, no wonder Guan Jiujiu didn't agree to burial Zhang Xiaoqi at first, Pang Feihu But he said, you won't blame him."

After hearing this, Guo Ye imagined Guan Jiujiu's expression at that time. He must be afraid of getting into trouble and losing his trust?This is in line with Guan Jiujiu's character.

As for Pang Feihu?

Guo Ye laughed loudly: "Haha, he is worthy of being my old team leader, and he understands me best."

Zhao Jiuchou was speechless and kept silent.

Guo Ye remembered what Zhao Jiuchou had mentioned about Gan Zhushou who killed Zhang Xiaoqi in two moves with ruthless methods outside the wilderness last night.

So he asked, "What's unusual about Gan Zhushou's hanged ghost?"

Zhao Jiuchou shook his head and said, "There is nothing unusual, as if that incident never happened last night. Moreover, he also went to Zhang Xiaoqi's funeral."

Well?

This hanged ghost has a strong psychological quality.

Then he laughed and said: "Since he doesn't want to mention it, then this shit pot can only be held to you. Hehe, this Ganzhushou is even more interesting."

Zhao Jiuchou has always wondered why Guo Ye didn't get to the bottom of it and found out Gan Zhushou's identity.

He said rather worriedly: "This person is taciturn, and his methods are fierce and decisive. Don't you feel that this kind of person is dangerous if you keep him by your side?"

"What's so dangerous?"

Guo Ye shrugged, and said indifferently: "I know that Gan Zhushou is not bad at his hands, but he has always been willing to be a slave in Longxi County, and he even hides his clumsiness when fighting with others, which shows that this person must have a story that is not humane. Now is the time for me to employ people, since Gan Zhushou has no ill intentions towards me, and is willing to do things for me and let me dictate, why should I make things difficult for myself?"

After speaking, he seemed to be very sure and said: "Besides, after you found out what happened last night, he can still deal with it calmly, which shows that he has no evil thoughts and a clear conscience. I guess, within half a month, he will definitely tell you Brother, if I reveal my heart, maybe I can reveal my own background."

"Let's downgrade talents without sticking to one pattern, haha!"

Listening to Guo Ye's logical analysis, Zhao Jiuchou couldn't help sweating profusely, he is really courageous enough, anyone dares to use it.

In his opinion, Guo Ye's employment methods are indeed eclectic.

Let's take myself as an example. I was born as a bandit and fought with Guo Ye, and I am not the earliest direct descendant of the Guo family class.Unexpectedly, Guo Ye trusted himself the most.

Zhao Jiuchou pondered over and over again, but was speechless again.

In the end, he had no choice but to say resentfully: "You, what a freak!"

Seeing Zhao Jiuchou deflated, Guo Ye seemed to be extremely happy. He was full of complacency, and joked: "A freak is a freak. Anyway, brother, I am now...wait a minute, someone seems to be rushing here..."

As he said that, he turned his head to the direction of Tuva City, stood up abruptly and looked at the way he came.

Zhao Jiuchou stood up naturally, drew out the big knife on his shoulder with a ding, and swung it out like a knife, ready to meet the enemy.

da da da da ~~

The sound of hooves is getting closer.

Suddenly, Guo Ye saw clearly the face of the person on the mount, it turned out to be Cheng Erniu.

At the same time, Cheng Erniu waved his horsewhip, not afraid of the steep mountain road, and came quickly. After getting close, he also found the whereabouts of Guo Ye and Zhao Jiuchou.

He waved his arms and shouted: "Brother, brother, stop and wait for me!"

After finishing speaking, after a while, Cheng Erniu rode up to him.

Guo Ye was full of wonder, could it be that this kid also wanted to follow him to the carriage to see and see?

Before he could say anything, Cheng Erniu gasped and shouted: "Fortunately, I caught up with the little brother. Well, let's go back quickly, Kang, Lieutenant Kang has asked for reinforcements, and he is stationed in the city of Tuva!"

Combo?

Reinforcements have arrived?

After taking Tuva City, Guo Ye almost forgot to send Kang Bao to ask for reinforcements.

It seems that today's trip to the racecourse was a waste of time.

Without hesitation, he waved his hand at Zhao Jiuchou and said, "Go back!"

After finishing speaking, he went straight to the spring with Zhao Jiuchou, fetched his mount and rushed back to Tuva City as soon as possible.

Chapter 247 The Belated Reinforcement, Hexi Army

Return to Tuva City and go straight to the city gate.

Early in the morning, there were few people on the street, and Guo Ye was just galloping on horseback in a daze, but he didn't startle up.

The closer he got to the city gate, the more dazzling Guo Ye's eyes were when he was riding a horse and looking ahead.

He knew that this was the dazzling feeling of metal refracting sunlight.

Metal!
