Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Yuru next to him couldn't help but interrupted with a terrified expression: "Guo Cishi, we know your skills. But Zhang Chengzong has the entire Yangzhou Zhang family behind him. Even though Zhang Chengzong is no longer the Yangzhou salt transport envoy, the methods of the Yangzhou Zhang family are also It's not something our young couple can fight against. If the Zhang family in Yangzhou is not destroyed, it will be difficult for us and my wife to live in peace. Forget it, let's take this opportunity to leave Yangzhou and find a remote and secluded place to live a peaceful life .”

"Oh……"

Guo Ye let out a long, low voice, and he could tell that the young couple was still afraid that Zhang Chengzong would mobilize the power of the Zhang family in Yangzhou to retaliate against them. Up to now, he still didn't believe that he, the governor of Yangzhou, could guarantee the safety of their husband and wife.

Ashamed, the majestic governor of a state, the highest chief executive of Yangzhou, the prestige among the people and the hearts of the common people is not as good as that of a native family.

Shame!

Forget it, since Xue Hao and his wife insisted so much, Guo Ye no longer persuaded them to stay.

So, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will arrange someone to escort you to the dock at the East Gate, and you will leave by boat. Have you agreed where to start a new life?"

Xue Hao and Miss Yuru shook their heads in unison, and sighed: "I haven't made up my mind yet, let's leave Yangzhou for the time being. The farther the better, the better it is, and it will count where you go."

Guo Ye suddenly had an idea in his heart, and suggested: "Why don't I arrange for you to go to the middle of Shu, and go to Longxi County, Yizhou, in the middle of Shu, which is my hometown. When you arrive in Longxi, absolutely no one will dare to make any plans for you. .And I will tell the relatives and friends in Longxi to take good care of you young couple, and when you get there, you can buy some fields and houses, and live a life of a rich man without worrying about food and clothing, okay?"

Xue Hao's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Yuru.

Yuru seemed to readily agree, and nodded to Xue Hao.

Seeing this, Guo Ye immediately clapped his hands and said, "Okay, that's the arrangement. Let someone bring Chen Juncheng over and let him arrange for the two of you to leave by boat after dark tonight."

Xue Hao and Yuru were moved when they heard the words, and they both paid homage to Guo Ye: "I'm sorry for your trouble, Inspector Guo!"

At this moment, Chen Jitao rushed into the living room from the outside like the wind, stretched out his arms and shouted at Guo Ye, "Lord Inspector, Lord Inspector, happy event, great event!"

Guo Ye was confused by what he heard, and pointed at Chen Jitao who came in with a smile, and happily said to Xue Hao and his wife, "Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be there! Haha, Chen Juncheng, I am talking about you with their couple."

Chen Jitao gave a slight nod to Xue Hao and his wife, and then said loudly to Guo Ye: "Lord Inspector, what a happy event!"

Guo Ye put aside the matter of Xue Hao and his wife for the time being, and asked suspiciously: "What kind of happy event? Could it be that the Zhang family in Gujing Lane is on fire?"

Chen Jitao shook his head, and smiled calmly: "Master Inspector was just joking, I also want the Gujing Lane to be on fire. Hehe, so that Lord Inspector can learn that Xiaguan has just received a message from the soldiers at the wharf and ferry, saying yes A large ship just docked not long ago, and suddenly a large group of people came down, it seems that your wife, who is far away in Longxi, has come to Yangzhou."

Rubbing ~!

Guo Ye suddenly stood up, but he couldn't calm down anymore, and exclaimed, "My wife from Longxi is coming to Yangzhou? Do you know which lady?"

Chen Jitao shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I heard that there was a lot of people getting off the boat, and it seems that there are also servants from the palace accompanying them off the boat."

Now Guo Ye was even more confused, why did his wife from Longxi and the palace servants accompany him to Yangzhou?

Who will it be?Xiuxiu?

Zhenniang?Or Kang Zhiru's little pepper?

Immediately, he apologized to Xue Hao and his wife, and rushed out of the living room, turning his head and shouting at Chen Jitao while running: "Chen Juncheng, come and make arrangements for the departure of Xue Hao and his wife for me. First go to the gate of the government office to meet Madam!"

Chapter 766 Xiuxiu Comes to Yangzhou

He ran wildly all the way to the gate of the government office, his loose official robe fluttered in the wind as he ran, and his double-winged hat almost fell to the ground.

When he ran to the gate of the government office, he saw nearly a hundred soldiers clearing the way ahead, and behind him a group of servants and maids were slowly running towards the government office surrounded by a sedan chair.

With the sound of a male duck's voice: "It's Yangzhou government office, stop the sedan chair!"

The sedan chair stopped at the sound, and Guo Ye approached to see that the servant and eunuch shouting was actually an old acquaintance, Eunuch Shun.

Immediately afterwards, the bearer pressed the sedan chair, and a court lady hurriedly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and a gorgeously dressed woman stepped out of the sedan chair. It was Guo Ye's first wife—Wu Xiuxiu!

Guo Ye immediately went forward and shouted excitedly, "Xiuxiu, why are you here?"

After speaking, his hands were already on Wu Xiuxiu's waist, almost hugging her in his arms.

Wu Xiuxiu also put on a little makeup today, and was hugged and hugged by Guo Ye in full view of the public, a little shy and embarrassed, resisting the joy of the husband and wife's reunion, and whispered: "Husband, in broad daylight, can you use your hands?" Be honest? Let's go in and talk, okay?"

Eunuch Shun next to the sedan chair also jokingly said: "Yizhou Marquis, long time no see. Madam is tired of traveling, you can't let Madam chat with you at the gate of the government office, can you?"

Guo Ye smiled sheepishly, and quickly retracted the slack hand that was on Wu Xiuxiu's body. After saying hello to his father-in-law, he apologized to Wu Xiuxiu: "I love my wife, forgive me. Hey, I'm doing Meng Lang for my husband. Hey, let's go in and talk about it later." , go in and talk."

After finishing speaking, he personally helped Wu Xiuxiu into the government office.

Eunuch Shun is very discerning, knowing that Guo Ye and his wife reunited after a long absence, they must tell each other their hearts.As the saying goes, a little goodbye is better than a newlywed, and there must be a lot of personal things to tell the other party, so that it is inconvenient to be disturbed by others.

Immediately after, he led the servants and maids who came with him into the government office, and then went to find a place to rest on his own, without bothering Guo Ye.

Guo Ye helped Wu Xiuxiu to the backyard residence, and after dismissing the nearby yamen servants and handymen, he led Wu Xiuxiu into the bedroom.

As soon as Wu Xiuxiu sat down, he hurriedly asked: "Xiuxiu, how is your mother? How are Zhenniang and Zhiru? How is everything in my hometown?"

Wu Xiuxiu brushed the strands of messy hair that fell from her ears and temples, and said with a smile in the corner of her eyes: "Husband, look at your irritable appearance, how can you still look like a governor of a state? I will teach my husband to know, the old lady is in good shape. Well, Zhenniang and sister Zhiru are all fine too. Hehe, sit down quickly, I'm dizzy too because you're walking around me."

Guo Ye smiled awkwardly, pulled a wooden stool and sat down next to Wu Xiuxiu, and then asked: "Xiuxiu, why did you come to Yangzhou suddenly? You should write a letter in advance to say hello, and I can do it too." I'm ready to pick you up."

Wu Xiuxiu didn't answer Guo Ye's question immediately, but stretched out her hands to straighten his crooked double-winged hat, patted the messy and wrinkled official uniform, and said with some reproach: "Look at you, you are so big. Dressing is still so casual and messy, the majestic governor of Yangzhou is so careless about his appearance. Hmph, be careful to invite the censor to join you."

"Haha, I haven't seen you for a while, and Xiuxiu is amazing. She even knows that the censor has joined me." Guo Ye couldn't help laughing, and said happily, "If the imperial censor even cares about my dressing, then they I really have plenty of free time. I don’t care if I look good when I’m full and have nothing to do. Xiuxiu, you haven’t answered my question yet.”

Wu Xiuxiu listened to Guo Ye's urging again, her face froze slightly, the soft smile on her face gradually disappeared, and there was a little more sadness between her brows.

She sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "This time I have to help Eunuch Shun to get to Yangzhou. As for why Eunuch Shun suddenly went to Longxi to find our house, it was because he was ordered by Empress Changsun. "

Empress Changsun?

Guo Ye was stunned at the moment, and asked in a daze: "You mean, this time you came to Yangzhou to find your husband and I, did you pass on the edict of Empress Changsun?"

Wu Xiuxiu hummed, nodded slightly, and whispered: "Husband, Empress Changsun has asked Eunuch Shun to explain everything to me."

hum~

Guo Ye had a sudden ringing in his ears, and blurted out, "Empress Changsun told you all about your life experience?"

Wu Xiuxiu lowered her head and hummed again, and replied in a deeper voice: "I said it, I said it all, so I have been kept in the dark all these years, I didn't expect that I still have such a secret."

Guo Ye secretly demoted the eldest grandson empress, damn it, it's okay, what are you meddling with?I really have plenty of free time.

He was afraid that Wu Xiuxiu would misunderstand that he deliberately concealed her background, so he quickly explained: "Xiuxiu, listen to me, I didn't intentionally conceal your background, I also met your sister Linyang Xiaoxian who I had never met after I arrived in Chang'an." Lord, I know the cause and effect. Moreover, the reason why I concealed your life experience and never wrote to you is because I have my own difficulties. Alas, it’s hard to explain in one word!”

Wu Xiuxiu raised her head abruptly, stretched out her small hand to rest on the back of Guo Ye's hand, and comforted her gently, "Don't think too much, husband. I didn't blame you. Empress Changsun has asked Eunuch Shun to explain everything to me. I concealed my life experience because I was afraid that I would not be able to figure it out for a while. And I heard that my biological father also had prejudice and resentment against me. He always felt that I was ominous, thinking that I was a drag on my biological mother, Princess Pingyang. Husband I hid it from Xiuxiu because I was worried that I would be humiliated by my biological father. My husband, don’t explain anymore, Xiuxiu is not a person who is not enlightened, she is very clear in her heart!"

Call ~

Guo Ye heaved a rough sigh of relief, and his resentment towards Empress Changsun disappeared immediately, and he thought to himself, you are good at handling things and didn't cause me any trouble, otherwise Xiuxiu would have to blame me again.

Afterwards, he stood up and came to Wu Xiuxiu's side, gently embraced him in his arms, caressed her fragrant shoulders, and asked: "Xiuxiu, since you know everything now, what do you think? "

Wu Xiuxiu was embraced by Guo Ye, feeling a burst of warmth, feeling at ease for no reason.
