Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Yuan Tiangang scolded the little fox secretly, and then said with a smile, "Since Mr. Dugu knows so much, I won't hide it from you. If it weren't for the fact that Master Hu couldn't hold on to the situation today, I wouldn't have come out." Mr. Dugu, you don’t need to make random guesses, let alone worry. The reason why the old man secretly helped Hierarch Hu has nothing to do with your Dugu family. Doing the old man a favor, that's all. Therefore, the old man and the Hu leader are both prosperous and hurt, and he is absolutely not allowed to deviate from the slightest before it is done. That's why the old man ventured into the mansion of Young Master Dugu today. "

Duguyu murmured secretly, so it was so.

However, he was also curious about what the old man was busy asking Hu Bilie to help, and he could only help after Hu Bilie became powerful. It seemed that this was a lot of work.

Immediately, he asked: "The old man has worked so hard to help Hierarch Hu secretly, what kind of work does he need to do for him? I wonder if the younger generation can help him a little bit?"

The little weasel and the big rooster pay New Year's greetings, how can Duguyu be so kind?It was nothing more than wanting to find out thoroughly what kind of covenant this mysterious old man had made with Hu Bilie.

Before Yuan Tiangang could answer, Hu Bilie jumped out impatiently, pointed at Duguyu angrily and shouted, "Young Master Dugu, what do you mean? Hu is not dead yet? You are so impatient to poach the wall." La?"

"Master Hu?"

Yuan Tiangang scolded Hu Bilie with a straight face, and cast a cold look over him.

Only then did Hu Bilie realize that he was stimulated by Duguyu again, and he even forgot the old fairy's advice.

Involuntarily, he sneered again, glared at Duguyu unwillingly, and sat down slowly.

To Duguyu's words, Yuan Tiangang still did not respond positively, but shook his head lightly, and replied unhurriedly: "Well, don't bother Mr. Dugu to worry about it. As the saying goes, don't bother two masters with one thing. Hurry up, Hierarch Hu alone will help, that's enough!"

It seems that he declined Duguyu's kindness, but in fact he told Duguyu, don't bother to inquire about it, old man, you don't want to find out a thing or two here.

As for Hu Bilie, Yuan Tiangang also firmly believed that although this guy was stupid, he was not stupid enough to reveal his secret agreement with him.Because this guy was already afraid of Duguyu poaching his own corner, how could he tell the agreement between him and Yuan Tiangang?

Duguyu saw that Yuan Tiangang was in a mess from the beginning to the end, and he couldn't tell the truth from the beginning, and his heart was as bright as a mirror. Her usual little tricks were really useless in front of this old man.

Immediately, he had no choice but to cut straight to the point and ask: "It's inconvenient for the old man to say this, but he refuses to say it. Then why did you come to my place today? Didn't you just say that? Absolutely don't allow the Hu leader to speak before he becomes powerful." If there is a slight deviation, then, old man, let's open the skylight and speak plainly!"

"Okay, as long as Mr. Dugu understands, this old man has absolutely no intention of harming you. Besides, this old man also wants to get to the point sooner."

Yuan Tiangang sighed secretly, this little fox has always been calm and calm, it is really difficult to deal with, he is quite similar to that kid Guo Ye.

Afterwards, he looked at Duguyu and said in shock, "Young Master Dugu, if the old man has a way without costing you a single soldier, he can take the batch of gold bricks from Lingnan City on the other side for you and deliver them to you in person. , would you be interested?"

"Really...really...really?"

With a single word, Duguyu, who has always been calm and calm, suddenly loses his color and loses his bearing...

Chapter 1098 Yuan Tiangang's Conditions

"Should... Seriously?"

As soon as Duguyu heard Yuan Tiangang's words, all the color on her face disappeared, and she no longer had the habitual light smile that hung on the corner of her mouth.

Even Hu Bilie, who was repeatedly warned by Yuan Tiangang not to speak without authorization, couldn't sit still immediately, opened his mouth wide, and yelled excitedly and unbelievably: "Living god, you really have a way to stop!" Can you get back that gold brick for us with little effort?"

After finishing speaking, he immediately regretted it, grandma, why did he talk so cheaply again, and started talking nonsense about what the old fairy said?

Regrets are regrets, and he couldn't help feeling a little bit of resentment towards Yuan Tiangang in his heart. Since you old man has a way to get back the gold brick in Lingnan City without any effort, why didn't you say it earlier?Let Hu Mou lose one hundred thousand congregants in vain, and share such a big benefit with Duguyu.Isn't this cheap for Dugu's family?

Yuan Tiangang glanced sideways at Hu Bilie, did not answer his question, but gave Hu Bilie a small warning with his eyes, signaling him to keep quiet.

Then, he set his gaze on Duguyu, with an expression as if he was holding a pearl in his hands, slightly nodded and replied briskly: "Naturally, hehe, Mr. Dugu, whether the old man takes this seriously or not is not just a matter of words." It’s okay, but seeing is believing, right?”

Duguyu nodded noncommittally, and hummed.Xindao, of course, you can't just take back the gold bricks just by saying that there is a way to get them back.

Yuan Tiangang said again: "Since this is the case, do you think it is necessary for the old man to brag to you all over the sky here? Only when the old man takes this gold brick and puts it in front of you can it be counted, right?"

Duguyu is a smart person, she has always firmly believed that there will be no pies in the sky, and even more firmly believes that there is no love for no reason in this world.

Immediately, he changed his mind and asked slyly: "Old man, there is no free banquet in the world. It seems that you appeared here at the right time today, and you are not simply smoothing things over for the Hu leader. Hey, can you not It is certainly the most beautiful thing in the world for Fei Yibing to get back that gold brick easily, but... Hehe, as the saying goes, puffer fish tastes delicious, but eating it rashly will kill people. Yes Bar?"

Hu Bilie couldn't understand Duguyu's words, but how could Yuan Tiangang not understand?

He laughed and said, "Surely Mr. Dugu is one of the dragons and phoenixes among the people, and you can get through with one click. Hey, you hundreds of thousands of White Lotus Sects first besieged Qianzhou City, and then forcibly crossed the Heishui River to break Lingnan City. What is it? Naturally, it is for the coveted gold bricks in the city. If the old man can solve such a big trouble for you, naturally he will not help in vain. The old man has two conditions, and you must agree to the old man. "

Hearing what Yuan Tiangang said, Duguyu felt a lot more at ease in her heart, with the usual faint smile on her face, and said in her heart, it should be like this, my young master never believed in such things as pie in the sky A fluke.

Immediately, he stretched out his hand and asked: "Please tell me, old man. I will reply after listening to your conditions."

"First, the Dugu family must always maintain the same heart and one mind with the Hu leader. When the time is right, you must keep your previous promise, wait for the opportunity to completely eradicate the father and son of the family, and hand over the White Lotus sect guards of the Yu family. In the hands of Master Hu." After Yuan Tiangang finished speaking, Hu Bilie immediately cast a grateful look, and was secretly moved, it seemed that the living god was still facing him.

Duguyu was slightly taken aback, but instantly relieved, after a few dry laughs, she nodded and responded without thinking: "It's easy to talk about, easy to talk about, if it wasn't for the fact that Hierarch Hu refused to confide in me before, how could I use it?" How about using words to provoke him? Well, I agree to the first condition, old man, what is the second condition?"

Yuan Tiangang continued: "This second condition is not so much a condition as a requirement. If you want to get back the gold brick in Lingnan City without any effort, you must first meet the next second requirement! "

These words made Duguyu confused, she asked in a very puzzling way: "What do you mean by this old man?"

Yuan Tiangang didn't rush to explain, but asked rhetorically: "Young Master Dugu should know very clearly by now, who is in charge of Lingnan City on the other side of the Heishui River?"

Duguyu hummed, and said eloquently: "Of course I know, this person's surname is Guo Mingye, and now he is in the limelight in the court of the Tang Dynasty, and he is highly valued by Li Shimin. He was officially appointed as the general manager of the Guangnan Road Marching, and he was awarded the title of Pingyang County Gong. I heard that although this person is young, he is extremely powerful and powerful. A few days ago, the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan conspired with King Lu and his three sons to rebel, and it was this person surnamed Guo who forcibly destroyed it. And Even the ups and downs of the officialdom like Changsun Wuji were defeated by this life, expelled from Chang'an by Li Shimin, demoted to common people and never used. Hey, now this person is ordered to come to the south to suppress the rebellion, Qianzhou City In the blink of an eye, it turned into an empty city overnight, and we were all thrown away, huh, it was his fault. This person is really a big worry for us!"

Speaking of this, Duguyu seemed to have thought of something, and asked again: "Old man, your second condition, is it possible that you have something to do with the Guo thief in Lingnan City on the other side?"

"More or less."

Yuan Tiangang was secretly shocked by Duguyu's knowledge of the news, and continued: "Do you know what is the relationship between Yu Shinan and Guo Ye who are imprisoned by you in Guangzhou Mansion?"

Yu Shinan?

In Duguyu's mind, that old sour Confucian who would rather bend than bend, and is now under house arrest in his brother Dugumu's military camp appeared.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something again, and suddenly realized: "The dog thief surnamed Guo studied in the Imperial College, it seems that this old sour Confucian surnamed Yu has a teacher-student friendship. Oh oh oh, I see, What does the old man mean is that he wants to use this old sour scholar to intimidate the Guo bandit in Lingnan City on the other side, force him to submit, and let him obediently send someone to send a boat to bring the gold brick over?"

"wrong!"

"Big mistake!"

Yuan Tiangang vehemently denied Duguyu's conjecture, and then solemnly warned: "I believe that if you dare to do this, it will be a waste of time to fetch water from a bamboo basket, and you will get nothing in the end. Let's not talk about Yu Shinan first." He is notoriously pedantic. He would rather die and die than let you use him to threaten and persecute Guo Ye. Moreover, according to the old man's understanding of Guo Ye, this son is also famous for his violent temper. Although it is deep, but if you touch his reverse scales, he will definitely be with you rather than a piece of jade!"

Dugu Yuhu questioned: "Then what does the old man want to do?"

"Exchange! Exchange with each other!"

Yuan Tiangang said: "If the old man personally escorted Yu Shinan and had a face-to-face conversation with Guo Ye, the old man can guarantee that he will be able to exchange Yu Shinan from Guo Ye for the gold brick that you have always been thinking about. Therefore, the old man's The second requirement is that you quickly send someone to your brother in Guangzhou to bring Yu Shinan here, and then the old man will personally escort him across the river, the sooner the better!"

"Oh I got it!"

Duguyu nodded subconsciously, and said: "It's a good deal to exchange the gold bricks with an old man who is useless but still eats and drinks as offerings. Yes, he is sloppy with this condition." It's normal, my son replied... Huh? No!!"

Duguyu woke up abruptly, staring at Yuan Tiangang with a vigilant look, her voice became clear immediately, and she asked coldly: "Old man, with only one Yu Shinan, someone surnamed Guo would be willing to hand over the batch of value. Estimated gold bricks? You know, that’s enough to cover the taxes accumulated by the dynasty over the years.”

Yuan Tiangang scolded the little fox secretly, then put on a haughty look, and replied confidently: "Of course, Yu Shinan alone is not enough to make Guo Ye give back those gold bricks willingly. However, What if I add the old man’s personal lobbying across the river?”

"You cross the river yourself to lobby Guo? Will he listen to your lobbying?"

Duguyu obviously expressed deep doubts about Yuan Tiangang's words, and said bluntly: "You are just a mountain villager, at best, you are an old man with a little bit of trickery, why would someone surnamed Guo be willing to listen to you?" Are you lobbying? Besides, what if you take Yu Shinan across the river to meet the Guo thief to ask for credit, what if you never come back? Hehe, how can I trust you?"
