Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"As an imperial envoy of the Tang Dynasty, even your lord pays respect to me three times. Are you afraid of offending the Yuan family? As for the high city lord, haven't you been in the same boat as the Yuan family?"

Gao Xinde said: "This moment, that moment. Don't we still have things to ask others?"

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Whether it's destroying the Skull Mountain or releasing the official slaves, it's a matter of controversy in the court. If we offend the Yuan family, they will definitely oppose it. Someone Gao can't support the entire Yuan family... ..."

What he meant was to remind Guo Ye that if you insist on killing Yuan Haizi, then the matter of Skull Mountain and the matter of official slaves will be messed up.

"This..." Guo Ye didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Seeing Guo Ye's hesitation, Gao Xinde said while the iron was hot: "Yuan Haizilan is already sixty years old, even if you don't kill him, he won't live for a few years. Besides, if you kill him, you will relieve your hatred. What can you get? On the contrary, if you let Yuan Haizilan go, we will sell the favor of the Yuan family. The matter of Skull Mountain and the official slaves can be settled happily. There are tens of thousands of official slaves, and Yuan Haizilan alone In exchange for [-] lives, you still earned..."

Guo Ye couldn't help sneering in his heart after hearing this.What Gao Xinde said was good, but he didn't say the last sentence.Yuanhai Zilan was the master who tortured tens of thousands of official slaves to death.Letting Yuan Hai Zilan go is not just a simple matter of sparing Yuan Hai Zilan's life, but it also means that Guo Ye doesn't want the blood debt of tens of thousands of people!

Is the life of [-] living people more important, or the blood debt of tens of thousands of dead people?

This is a serious philosophical question, and Guo Ye got entangled...

At this moment, Turtle Dove interjected: "Master Gao, there is something I haven't told you yet. You have heard about it, but you must hold on..."

"Ah, what's the matter?"

"That is, before you came just now, we told Yuan Haizilan that you asked us to arrest him... If you let him go like this, I don't know if you can stand it?"

And this thing?

Hearing this, Gao Xinde's face turned pale, it was a lawsuit all over his head.

Originally, Gao Xinde thought well, but Guo Ye let Yuan Haizilan go.He told Yuan Haizilan how much he had spent to save him from Guo Ye.

This price was paid for saving Yuan Haizi, and of course it had to fall on Yuan's family in the end.In this way, the matter of Skull Mountain and the official slaves is the matter of the Yuan family, and Gao Xinde is purely helping.

Gao Xinde helped the Yuan family so much, and saved Yuan Haizilan's life. If he reciprocated, the Yuan family must not give him Gao Xinde's meaning?Gao Xinde is trying to please both sides.

But now, Guo Ye is taking the initiative and lied that Yuan Haizilan was sent by him to kidnap him.What Gao Xinde said again, Yuan Haizilan would have to weigh it up.

If Yuan Haizilan was convinced that Gao Xinde was the mastermind behind the scenes, then letting him go would be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain, which would be very detrimental to Gao Xinde.

To let it go or not to let it go?

Now, when the ball rolled, it was Gao Xinde's turn to get tangled up...

Chapter 1269

At this time, Yuanhai Zilan is like a hot potato, it is not suitable to hold it in the hand, and it is even more inappropriate to let it go.

Seeing Gao Xinde's tangled look, Guo Ye became brighter for a moment, and said, "Master Gao, you said that this Yuanhai Zilan, should you let it go or not?"

Gao Xinde was sweating profusely, and said: "Let me think about it, let me think about it."

Guo Ye suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a vague idea emerged. Although it is not perfect, it is quite feasible!

Guo Ye said seriously: "City Master Gao, let me ask you, if Yuan Haizilan is willing to help, how sure are you that you can solve the matter of Skull Mountain and the official slaves?"

Gao Xinde said: "I'm not boasting. If the Gao family and the Yuan family join forces, not to mention in Liaodong City, even in the entire Goguryeo, there is nothing that cannot be done. Your little thing is not called It's something. But Yuan Haizilan must think it's my black hands now, and this joint venture may be difficult to achieve..."

Guo Yedao: "How to solve Yuanhai Zilan, Guo has one solution. In fact, if you want to make people submit, besides lures, you also need coercion..."

Gao Xinde said: "Threats are useless. Now he must agree to whatever you say, but if you let him go, won't he go back on his word?"

Guo Ye sneered and said: "At that time, he can't be left alone. I have a poison called the Seven-Day Chasing Soul Pill. After taking my medicine, you must take the antidote I gave every day, otherwise Within seven days, he will definitely die from intestinal perforation. You said that if I gave him the seven-day life-hunting pill, would he not listen to me?"

"Seven-day soul-hunting pill? I've never heard of it before. Is there such a thing in the world?"

Guo Ye said flickeringly: "City Lord Gao has lived in Goguryeo for a long time, and the news is too closed. I have a long heritage in the Tang Dynasty, and my culture is extensive and profound. Risangming is scattered, and the three corpse brain pills have not been taken out. It is not necessary to deal with a small Yuan Haizilan!"

Hearing these unknown names, Gao Xinde was skeptical, and said: "At this moment, the stakes are very important, please don't lie to me, Duke of Pingyang County."

Guo Ye shook his head and said, "Where does the Lord Gao speak? Tens of thousands of lives are at stake. How can Guo act carelessly?"

Gao Xinde thinks about it too, Guo Ye should be the one who is most anxious about this matter, and said: "So, please leave it to the Duke of Pingyang County! If there is any discrepancy, the Duke of Pingyang County should inform Gao as soon as possible. Think of ways to!"

"Sure, sure, City Lord Gao, walk slowly!"

After sending Gao Xinde away, Guo Ye heard a "plop" beside him!

It turned out that Master Changsun knelt down on the ground and begged earnestly: "Please also ask the Duke of Pingyang County to accept me as an apprentice!"

Guo Ye quickly helped Mr. Changsun up, and said, "General Changsun, please get up quickly. Could it be that General Changsun suddenly realized that Guo is the real God of Gamblers reincarnated, and wants to learn gambling skills from Guo? It's easy to say. , there is no need to pay a big gift to pay homage! From now on, we will still be brothers! Guo will never hide his secrets, and he will definitely teach you all!"

Master Changsun said, you don't win money by relying on others' kinderman to release water, what can you teach me.

Master Changsun suppressed the slander in his heart, and said: "I don't have a good talent for gambling, I am afraid it will be difficult to inherit the mantle of the teacher. This student wants to learn from the teacher how to use poison!"

"The way to use poison?"

"That's right. In the past, my disciple boasted that he was the best in the world in using poison. After listening to the teacher today, I realized that I was just a frog at the bottom of a well. I'm really ashamed! Seven-day chasing soul pill, is there such a miraculous drug in the world? Disciple has never I’ve seen it before. As for the half-stepping with a smile, one day’s death, and the three-corpse brain pill, my disciples have never heard of it. Please teach me, teacher!”

Guo Ye didn't laugh out loud, he was trying to fool Gao Xinde, but he didn't expect to fool Master Changsun.

Guo Ye forced himself to hold back his smile, and said, "Well, the most conceited thing in Guo's life is gambling. As for the art of using poison, Guo has never even learned it. General Changsun, should you consider learning gambling instead?"

Guo Ye is not lying, if he knows some rules of gambling.He simply didn't know anything about the art of using poison.

Master Changsun said resolutely: "I have made up my mind, I am willing to learn the art of using poison from the teacher, and I hope the teacher will make it happen!"

Guo Ye said: "If you don't learn gambling skills, it's really your loss. But people have their own aspirations, and you can't force it. Master Changsun, if you are asked to prepare a poison to achieve the effect of the seven-day soul-hunting pill, can you do it?"

Master Changsun shook his head and said: "This disciple really can't do it. A kind of poison, after eating, will either poison people to death or injure people. It's a one-shot deal. Using another kind of medicine to delay the onset of poison, one or two The day is fine, but after a long time, the disciple is really powerless!"

Guo Ye said: "If you are asked to prepare a medicine, after taking it, it will only happen a day later, can you do it?"

Master Changsun pondered: "It's not difficult. But if this is the case, the toxicity must be very small, that is, pain in the abdomen, dizziness and so on. It's useless."

Guo Ye said: "If you can prepare this kind of medicine, then the seven-day soul-chasing life-killing pill is almost the same!"

"The teacher means..."

"After seven days, there is no doubt that you will die. This is the cover we talked about. No one will defy the law and take their own life as a joke. You just need to send the medicine you prepared as an antidote. He has a toxic attack If you take the antidote, you will inevitably take the antidote. If you take the antidote, you will inevitably suffer from the onset of toxicity. Isn’t this the seven-day soul-hunting pill?”

How can this be done?Master Changsun, who was a generation of poison masters, was completely defeated by Guo Ye!

"Mr. Pingyang, what are the three corpse brain pills?" Realizing Guo Ye's unreliability, "teacher" was changed to "Mr. Pingyang" by Master Changsun again!

Guo Ye smiled and said, "Why, you don't want to worship me as a teacher?"

Grandmaster Changsun said embarrassingly: "Master Guo is the Duke of Pingyang County in the Tang Dynasty. A follower of power. In addition, it will inevitably affect the reputation of Duke Pingyang!"
