Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

thump~~

Hearing Cheng Erniu's serious words, Guo Ye's heart trembled suddenly, feeling a little ominous.

Jumping off the horse hastily, he asked, "What is it worth driving for seven days and seven nights and killing three fast horses? Tell me quickly, what happened?"

shhhh~~

Eunuch Shun, Su Dingfang, Zhao Jiuchou and others all focused their eyes on Cheng Erniu, and they all had a premonition in their hearts that something big had happened.

Cheng Erniu didn't care to rest his feet to catch his breath, so he took off the water bag on his waist and drank a couple of mouthfuls. After moistening his throat, he said with a heavy face, "Something happened at home!"

After Guo Ye heard this, he was even more puzzled, and asked again and again: "Huh? Didn't the arrangements be made properly before I left? How could there be something happening at Xichuan Xiaoduhufu? Could it be that the Tibetans crossed the border to plunder again? Damn Samba, see if I skinned his dog alive."

Cheng Erniu shook the sheepskin water bag in his hand heavily, splashing water stains all over the floor, and said anxiously:

"No, no, I'm not talking about Xichuan, I'm talking about our hometown in Longxi! Xiaoman told me that something happened at home. No, something happened in your Guofu. Hey, look at my picture That's right, Mrs. Xiuxiu asked Xiaoman to delay me to send you a letter, you'll know it after reading the letter!"

After saying that, he took out a crumpled letter from his sleeve and stuffed it into Guo Ye's hand.Maybe it was because he was so tired that he actually sat on the ground by himself, rested his feet and poured water from the sheepskin water bag.

Something happened to Longxi's hometown?

shuh~~

Guo Ye's face turned pale suddenly, his heart beat suddenly, and he panicked for a while.

At this moment, he thought of the terrifying nightmare in Lingzhou. Could it be that it is really a good spirit that does not work or a bad spirit?

He tore open the envelope several times, and took out the letter that Wu Xiuxiu had entrusted to Xiaoman.

Sure enough, the graceful handwriting and the orchid fragrance on the paper tape are indeed my wife's Xiuxiu handwriting, as well as her unique smell.

I thought Wu Xiuxiu would write him a long and cumbersome letter home to convey the pain of lovesickness.

Unexpectedly, there were only three simple sentences written on the letter.

The first sentence: Husband sees letter like face.

The last sentence: Sincerely, my wife Guo Wu Shi Xiuxiu.

As for the sentence in the middle, there are only five characters: Father is critically ill, return quickly!

Father is critically ill, return quickly!

Although there are only five words, each word weeps blood, like a needle piercing the heart.

In an instant, Guo Ye's face was pale and colorless, his breathing became rapid, and his right hand holding the letter trembled uncontrollably.

Father, father, Guo Laohan, sick... critically ill!

Guo Ye felt uneasy in his heart, as if the sky suddenly covered with clouds, he muttered to himself with trembling lips: "How could this happen? Wasn't the old man still well before I left Longxi?"

The nightmare scene in Lingzhou drilled into his mind again. In the dream, his father passed away and left him.

Today, Cheng Erniu sent an urgent letter from his family, and his wife Xiuxiu told him in the letter that his father was critically ill!

At this time, no matter how silent Guo Ye was, he also believed in the theory of psychics in the dark.

Bass~~

Su Dingfang saw that Guo Ye couldn't finish reading the family letter, and his expression and behavior were completely wrong, so he immediately stepped forward and grabbed the letter in his hand, and read it carefully.

Look, even though he usually picks his nose and eyes at Guo Ye, he now has a solemn expression and said solemnly:

"Brother, the family letter is worth ten thousand gold, turn around and go back!"

The first sentence he spoke was to let Guo Ye stay away from the city of Chang'an, which was close at hand, so he hurried back to his hometown to visit his father.

Speaking of this, he suddenly approached Guo Ye and whispered in Guo Ye's ear: "Don't blame Su's words for conflicting, there is a destiny in the dark, and you will enter Chang'an soon, and the matter of the prince will not be resolved. Now your old father You are critically ill, and you should rush back to Longxi immediately to fulfill your filial piety, even if the crown prince is arrogant and unreasonable, he will not be able to fault you at all."

"Go back. Hurry back to Longxi now, or you will change if you are late, and it will be too late to regret!"

Although Su Dingfang's call was extremely harsh, Guo Ye felt uncomfortable listening to it, but it was not unreasonable.

Filial piety is the first among all good deeds, the father is critically ill, and the son goes back to fulfill his filial piety, who would dare to pick one?

Even if His Majesty Li Er called, there was no need to pay attention.

Guo Ye was anxious, could it be that his father was protecting me in the dark, helping me out of the predicament when I was dying?

Dad, you have to hold on, it's okay, the eldest baby will come back to see you soon!Even if you search for famous doctors in Xinglin, Dawa will cure your illness.

Immediately, Guo Ye made up his mind and returned to Longxi immediately.

"The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop; the child wants to be raised, but the relative is not there!"

Guo Ye frowned sadly, nodded at Su Dingfang with astringency in his mouth and said: "As a child, his father is sick in bed, how can he travel far away? Old Su, you are right, I will hurry back to Longxi."

Then, he went to Eunuch Shun, cupped his hands and said: "Eunuch Shun, my father is critically ill. As a son, I must rush back to my bed to fulfill my filial piety. Li Gang and Li Laoshangshu, I can only trouble you to speak for Guo Ye at your discretion." One or two."

After reading it for a while, Eunuch Shun naturally knew what was written in the family letter.

This time, he was not pretentious or slippery, but said very righteously:

"Dong Shun was also a son of man, so he naturally understands the pain in Guo Xiaoduhu's heart. Don't worry, you can go back to Li Laoshangshu's place, and this old slave will take care of you."

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Guo Ye, even Su Dingfang looked at this old eunuch with admiration. This old eunuch who regards money as his life also has a sincere and filial side.

Guo Ye nodded and thanked him, and then asked Zhao Jiuchou to pull the mule carrying the mahogany box to Eunuch Shun.

Gently pushing his hand, he said: "This box of rare treasures was originally intended to be presented by Mr. Guo when he entered Chang'an, but now he has full powers in the hands of Eunuch Shun. I will trouble you, and help Guo Ye clear Li Shangshu and..."

I wanted to talk about Prince Li Chengqian, but since Eunuch Shun didn't point it out, he just pointed it out.

However, Eunuch Shun understood Guo Ye's meaning, and secretly praised Guo Ye's cleverness in his heart.

Seeing a box full of soul-stirring treasures, he was overjoyed, and replied repeatedly: "Don't worry, don't worry, the old slave is here for everything, Guo Xiaodu can go back with peace of mind!"

At this time, the Great Monk Xuanzang put his hands together in a righteous way and said: "Brother Guo, there is no rush for the little monk, or else the little monk will accompany you back to Longxi to visit your lord, and this friendship between you and me will be fulfilled. "

For Xuanzang's sincerity, Guo Ye did not agree, because the great monk is not a master of apricot forest, and even if he went to his father, he would not be able to cure his illness.

Going back and forth to Longxi is more than a hundred miles away, not only doing the useless work, but also delaying Xuanzang's important event of traveling westward, which is not worth it.

Immediately refused: "Xuanzang, it is a fate that you and I can be called brothers. The future will be long, and you and I will definitely meet again in Chang'an in the future. You, you should go to Chang'an with Mr. Shun to handle your important affairs. .Remember, if things come to fruition, then ask someone to send a message to Longxi, so that I can be happy for you."

"Amitabha!"

Xuanzang solemnly proclaimed the Buddha's name, looked devoutly in the direction of Longxi, and clasped his hands and recited: "The little monk will definitely be in Chang'an City, three times in the morning, afternoon and evening, and pray for your father in front of the Buddha!"
