Giving gifts and returning gifts is a kind of reciprocity. Hundreds of guests came from thousands of miles away for the baby tiger's full moon baptism. He prepared a return gift for Gu Tianya, so he definitely wouldn't engage in such vain things.

The guests gave gifts heavily, and the Gu family's gift in return would never be light.

……

Eighty tables of banquets, the dishes are solid and thick, the diet of this era is too vulgar, even the Zhongming Dingshi family only has a few dishes, and the whole pig feast of the Gu family, the guests who eat directly are full of oil , the guests saw the sun moving slightly to the west, and gradually began to get up to say goodbye.

Since they are all congratulating people from afar, the farewell is only a symbolic farewell. It is not to leave Gujia Village and return, but to go to the Huqian Villa where they have been living for a while.

Before each family left, they were accompanied by a boy who was responsible for seeing off the guests. After they were sent out of the village, they handed over a gift list in return.

What came with the list of gifts were all kinds of return gifts carried by the postmen on their burdens.

The guests were almost all scratching their heads.

They all want to know what the Gu family gave in return.

With this in mind, the guests hurried back one by one, and when the postmen put down their burdens and bid farewell, almost every guest began to check and return the gifts impatiently.

For example, the wife of Zhang Liang, the Duke of Yun, almost put her head on the burden at this time.

A ten-year-old boy next to him is Zhang Liang's eldest son. The boy was also very curious, staring at the burden without blinking, and said, "Mother, tell me, what will the Gu family give us in return? It is the Momen, and the family has inherited countless secret recipes, but Mr. Gu was poor since he was a child, and his family certainly did not have great wealth, that is to say, the gift from the Gu family cannot be property..."

The little guy paused while talking, and continued to analyze with twinkling eyes: "What our family gave is 24 gold beads, and there are [-] Jiangnan brocades, which are worth at least [-] guan. I just don't know what kind of reward the Gu family will give in return."

Madam Zhang listened to her son's twittering, how could she not know that the little guy was curious in her heart, in fact, as a woman, she was even more curious than the child, and she had already started to untie the rope on the burden with both hands, and she kept muttering as she untied it, saying eagerly: " I hope it is not property, our family does not want property. I hope that the Gu family is really poor and cannot use property as a gift in return. It is best to be a secret recipe. I hope I can give us a copy of the secret recipe..."

While the couple was full of longing, they gradually opened up the burden of returning gifts.

hiss!

Mrs. Zhang gasped first.

The little guy was also shocked, staring blankly at the jewels in the burden.

After a long time, the two of them spoke in disbelief, "Is the Gu family so rich? Didn't it mean that Mr. Gu was poor since he was a child? Well, this doesn't seem like a poor family..."

Impressively, I saw a two-foot-tall jade horse in the burden, the whole body was as white as suet, and the warm and precious light flowed continuously. The value of this jade horse cannot be estimated, but at least it is better than the gift from the Zhang family. To be heavy.

It's a pity that Mrs. Zhang was born in an ordinary family, and she didn't know the origin of this jade horse at all. She was only astonished at the financial resources of the Gu family, and at the same time felt a little disappointed that she couldn't get the secret recipe.

No matter how precious a jade horse is, the Zhang family doesn't care about it as the Duke's family, but the Gu family has already given a gift in return, and she can only accept it no matter how lost she is.

……

At the same time, the other guests were also in shock.

No one could believe that the Gu family's return of gifts was so fierce. It was completely based on the situation of the guests' gift giving, and gave a corresponding level of return gift, and even exceeded it. No one suffered a loss.

The more this happened, the more surprised the guests were.

The Gu family's water seems a bit deep...

"Mom, what do you think?"

At this time, in a small courtyard, Princess Gaomi's son was full of curiosity. The little guy's eyes were fixed on a treasure, and his face was clearly astonished as to how this was possible.

Princess Gaomi next to her was also shocked, and suddenly picked up the treasure to examine it carefully. After a long time, she sighed for some reason.

She seemed to be shaken, but also thoughtful, and murmured: "I always thought that Sister Pingyang didn't marry well enough, but now I suddenly found out that she is better than us... Gu's family, Gu Tianya, I can't think of his family. His status is so noble, unexpectedly, he is even more noble than our Li family."

What she said was thoughtless, and the little guy next to her became more and more impatient. Unfortunately, Princess Gaomi didn't seem to want to go into details with the child. She just reached out and stroked the little guy's head, and murmured: "If you Being able to worship under the Gu family is an honor in this life, my son, I must work hard to win it."

……

Still at the same time, someone also gasped.

Changsun Wuji's face was full of solemnity, and he stared at the gift he received without blinking. Suddenly he raised his head and let out a long breath, and said eight words slowly, almost one word at a time, and said, "Daddy!" Legacy of the Sui Dynasty, Duke Yang's treasury."

After finishing speaking, he paused slightly, then smiled wryly, and said again: "Unexpected, really unexpected, everyone thought that the Gu family was very poor, and everyone knew that Gu Tianya almost starved to death when he was young. His past and experiences make it impossible There were many suspicions, but it was not until today that the Gu family finally revealed their shocking family background... This is a deeper foundation than the Li family. No wonder Gu Tianya's mother has been avoiding the guests and refusing to show her face. Hehe, us How can anyone be qualified to give her such an honorable reception."

Elder Sun Chong next to him was confused, and couldn't help leaning in front of Elder Sun Wuji, and asked curiously, "Father, did you see something from this return gift?"

"Ugh!"

Changsun Wuji sighed again, and suddenly reached out to pick up a book in the return gift, and said, "Look, my son, what is this?"

Chang Sun Chong quickly looked at the cover of the book, and then the little guy was stunned and said, "It's raining and sunny?"

"That's right, it's Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty's Quick Rain and Sunshine Poster." Changsun Wuji said solemnly, "The gift from our family is Wang Xizhi's 'Goose' character Taoist scripture. This gift is heavy enough, and I thought it was impossible for Gu Tianya to come up with a corresponding gift in return, but unexpectedly, he directly returned this to us. It is true that he did not come up with a corresponding gift in return, but he came up with a gift that surpassed ours. "

The eldest grandson swallowed his saliva, and subconsciously said: "The guests gave gifts an hour ago, which means that Mr. Gu only has one hour to prepare, but in such a short hour, Mr. Gu actually made a gift that is similar to ours. A matching return gift. Doesn't this mean that the Gu family has countless treasures, so it can satisfy every guest's gift in return. No matter what type of gift the guests send, the Gu family can return a corresponding type of treasure... For example, our family sent After learning Wang Xizhi's characters, the Gu family also returned Wang Xizhi's characters, not only did the categories figure out, but the value was even better than ours."

Changsun Wuji glanced at his son, nodded slowly and said: "My son is very good, your analysis is not bad at all. Let me tell you the reason, the heritage of the Gu family is a treasure house, and that treasure house is called Yang Gong's treasure house. It was left by Yang Su of the Sui Dynasty, the Hongnong Yang family. At that time, Yang Su collected all the treasures of the world and created an incomparably huge treasure house. However, the world only thought that the treasure house could buy half of the country in the Central Plains. , but did not know that the real owner of the treasure house was not Yang Su, but Emperor Sui Yang of the Great Sui Dynasty, that is, Gu Tianya's own uncle."

"My son, do you understand now? Gu Tianya is a relative of the emperor in the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. In the Sui Dynasty, he was the emperor's nephew. In our Tang Dynasty, he married Princess Pingyang." .”

The eldest grandson couldn't close his mouth in shock, the little guy swallowed subconsciously, and said in a daze, "Mr. Gu is actually a relative of the emperor of two dynasties."

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at his son again, and said with a wry smile, "Does this identity scare you? But you don't know that Gu Tianya has another identity. My son, you are the eldest son of our family. Little, there are some secrets I didn’t tell you. Now that you are growing up, you can get in touch with some aspects. Listen carefully, Gu Tianya’s ancestors are definitely not Momen. Our eldest grandson's family was horrified, but the other blood flowing in him is at the level that the whole world would bow their heads..."

Having said that, he paused for a while, and looked around subconsciously. It was obvious that there were only father and son in the room, but Changsun Wuji still chose to lower his voice, and said as if revealing a big secret: "Gu Tianya's father, You are a god in the sky! You have always respected Gu Tianya as Mr. Gu, obviously you want to become his disciple from the bottom of your heart, good boy, you have to work hard, once you really become a disciple of Gu's family, you will be a celestial immortal in the world Children. Only this inheritance can preserve the wealth of our eldest grandson's family for 200 years."

Changsun Chong stood on the spot blankly.

Mr. Gu's father is a god?

……

...I sent it late today, so I gave it to everyone as a two-in-one.

Chapter 206 [After this battle, Datang will take off]

The turmoil of returning gifts has not yet calmed down, and the whole Gujia Village suddenly became lively again.

At this time of the night, around the hour of Hai, people used to go to bed early due to the lack of entertainment activities in ancient times, but tonight was a bit special, the guests could not fall asleep in their respective courtyards.

The initial reason was that they were talking about Gu's return of gifts, but as time passed, everyone's minds were all attracted by another matter.

But in the silence of the night, there was a sudden rush of horseshoes, and then someone shouted loudly, with a clear sense of pride in the voice, saying: "Great joy, good news, Ma Sanbao, the retainer of the Gu family, killed [-] Turks and captured them." [-] oxen and more than [-] Turkic auxiliary soldiers surrendered. I would like to announce the good news to the lord, and congratulate the little lord. Great joy, victory, great joy, victory..."

The sound of shouting pierced the night sky, startled countless tired birds, and also startled countless guests.

A group of noble ladies walked out of the courtyard where they were staying, stood at their respective gates and watched from afar, then got together again and walked towards Gu's Village full of curiosity.

Wherever the group of ladies could see, they could clearly see a cavalry galloping fast. The leading general kept shouting, and soon arrived at the head of Gujia Village, but did not rush into the village.

Instead, the horses were stopped urgently, and even the cries of victory stopped. The shrewd lady thought for a while, and soon figured out why the cavalry was like this. Obviously, the general who led the army was afraid of disturbing the baby tiger of the Gu family. , that's why we stopped at the village head.

"This general is really considerate in doing things. He is indeed Gu Tianya's number one retainer."

"Listening to what he shouted just now, this is a big victory. I don't know if the victory is true or not. Will those gains add some water."

"No, it's not necessary. If you don't believe me, sisters, you can take a look at the situation of this cavalry. The soldiers are all covered with iron armor, and even the horses are covered with iron armor. If my guess is correct, this is what my man told me It is said that the combat strength of Gu's iron cavalry can be called the best in the world, even the Xuanjia iron cavalry of Tiance Mansion can't match it."

"Yes, yes. I heard that this iron cavalry belongs to Gu Tianya's family. There are a total of 3000 people. Everyone is equipped with a horizontal knife and a crossbow that can be fired in bursts. Once on the battlefield , like a sharp knife, invincible, sweeping everything... Although this iron cavalry has only [-] men, my man said that they can fight against [-] cavalry, that is to say, they can fight ten with one."

"This is still a battle against cavalry. If it is more powerful against infantry, even if it is facing an army of [-], Gu's iron cavalry can win in one battle."

"So, the general's victory report just now is likely to be true. He doesn't need to lie, because Gu's iron cavalry does have this combat power."

"Hiss! Doesn't that mean that the Gu family made a fortune in this battle?"

"Countless gains!"

……

The ladies talked a lot, and gradually approached the head of Gu's Village.

At this time, a little fire flickered in the village, but it turned out that Gu Tianya came here after hearing the news, holding a torch and quickly arrived here.

The general got off his horse abruptly, knelt on one knee and clasped his fists, and said excitedly: "Patriarch, Ma Sanbao will reward you with victory..."

Without waiting for Gu Tianya to open his mouth, he said, "I led three thousand armored soldiers to ambush in the mountains according to your plan. Sure enough, the Turkic people went south in large numbers. There were 7 or [-] cavalrymen, followed by countless auxiliary soldiers. Driving countless steers, they wanted to repeat the same trick, burning, killing, looting and transporting grain back from the Central Plains..."

"The subordinates deliberately let the Turkic cavalry enter the border until the Turkic auxiliary troops appeared in the rear, and then led [-] cavalry to rush down, beheading more than [-] Turkic auxiliary soldiers in just one battle."

"The rest of the more than [-] auxiliary soldiers were all frightened by our iron cavalry. They all prostrated and surrendered, and offered their bullocks. They ordered people to do a simple count, and found that the number of bullocks captured in this battle was [-]. , now take this great victory as a congratulatory gift, and give it to the little lord as a celebration of the full moon baptism."

……

The noble ladies not far away looked at each other, and they all saw the envy in each other's eyes. This time, Mrs. Gu really made a fortune. Thirty thousand bullocks are a huge fortune.

On the contrary, Gu Tianya's face was calm, as if he was not attracted by the [-] bullocks, but looked straight at Ma Sanbao, and said in a worried tone: "How is my soldier injured?"

"Injury? What kind of injury?" Ma Sanbao was startled for a moment, then burst into a big smile, and said, "My lord, why are you worried about this? How can our iron cavalry be damaged, let alone the auxiliary soldiers fighting against the Turks? It's the same with their cavalry, only we cut their share, and they don't have a chance to hurt us."

The guy was full of excitement, and he said immediately afterward: "Especially in this battle, Qi Wang Li Yuanji is also in the army. This prince is indeed a brave general, and he can be said to be invincible in the first sentence. Of course." , My Ma Sanbao is also good, killing people is like mowing grass, and the military exploits may not be as good as King Qi..."

"Where's my sister?" Gu Tianya asked suddenly.

Ma Sanbao obviously paused, his face showed embarrassment, and said: "Miss Chang'e didn't participate in the battle, but just guarded us on the edge of the battlefield. You know, my lord, we are fighting against the Turkic auxiliary soldiers. With the battle of our cavalry Strength, how easy it is to fight against auxiliary soldiers, if a battle of this level requires the lady to take action, then we will die of shame..."

"Bullshit!" Gu Tianya's face suddenly turned cold, and he scolded: "Since ancient times, battles have been dangerous, and swords and guns have no eyes. Even if it is a goshawk fighting a rabbit, it needs a full blow. I think it is clear that you are proud and complacent, so you will Use words to coax Chang'e not to go to war... Is my guess right? I want you to be honest and honest."

Ma Sanbao became even more embarrassing, and refused to make a sound.

Gu Tianya let out a breath slowly, and did not continue to embarrass the retainer, but instead stretched out his hand to help Ma Sanbao up from the ground, and said earnestly: "Remember, this is not allowed in the future. You They are my retainers, the brothers who kowtow to me. The three thousand iron armors are the family soldiers of the Gu family, and they are also our brothers. Don't let the brothers suffer undue damage because of a little vanity."

Ma Sanbao looked ashamed, lowered his head and said solemnly: "The Patriarch's lesson is that his subordinates will never dare to do this again."

"That's good!"

Gu Tianya was obviously very pleased, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said warmly: "Baby Tiger has you as a great gift, today's baptism is considered complete."

Ma Sanbao was visibly joyful, couldn't help looking up at the village, and subconsciously said, "My lord, go to sleep."

Gu Tianya nodded.

He looked at the cavalry at the entrance of the village, and suddenly asked again: "Why are there only such a few people? It seems that there are only two hundred soldiers. What about the others, why don't you come back?"

Ma Sanbao hurriedly said: "The subordinates were worried about the mutiny of the Turkic soldiers, so they only brought back 200 people. As for the other 3 cavalry, they were responsible for escorting those soldiers, and then the soldiers drove more than [-] soldiers. A steer, slowly headed towards Yunzhou."

He paused for a while, and added: "Because the captured team is too large, the speed of the journey is a bit slow. According to the speculation of the subordinates, we will not be able to reach Yunzhou until tomorrow morning. There is a temporary building built by our family. A women's army camp can carry out more careful statistics of prisoners of war."

Gu Tianya nodded.

He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked for the third time, "Is there any pressure?"

This question was nonsensical, but Ma Sanbao understood it, and hurriedly said: "Patriarch, don't worry, there is no pressure. Since we can surrender those Turkic auxiliary soldiers, we are not afraid that they will make trouble after surrendering. Whoever dares to take the lead, directly It was cut with a knife."

Gu Tianya let out a light breath, as if he had finally let go of a big stone in his heart.

At this time, there was movement in the direction of the village, two brothers Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng came hand in hand, before they arrived, Li Shimin first asked aloud, a little eagerly said: "How?"

Gu Tianya glanced at him, nodded slightly and said: "Ma Sanbao was the first to return, and he just reported to me a great victory in the northwest. As for the battle situation of the generals under your command, second brother, I am afraid that we will have to wait for a while. I got the news... After all, what they are fighting against is the regular Turkic army, unlike Ma Sanbao, who is cutting off and attacking the Turkic logistics."

Li Shimin nodded, and let out a breath slowly.

But his face was obviously worried, and he couldn't help but said again: "This time the Turks marched southward, there were more than [-] cavalry. Although we planned this game early, no one can guarantee victory until the last moment." Defeated, if defeated, if defeated..."

This battle is really important.

If he wins this battle, Datang will be able to take off immediately.

……

...the 1st update, the 2nd update later

Chapter 207 [We captured the Turkic Khan]

Gu Tianya accepted his words, and said in a soothing voice: "Second brother, don't worry too much. I think this battle will be safe and secure. Although the Turks have 20 cavalry, we have more than [-] troops. All your Xuanjia iron cavalry participated in the exhibition, and Zhaoning's women's army also joined the battle. The two great powers of the Tang Dynasty coordinated to meet, and it was a battle of ambush and defense. If my calculations are correct, I am afraid that it has already begun The winner is coming soon..."

Li Shimin's face sank like water, and he said slowly: "I hope so."

Standing next to him, Li Jiancheng stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze seemed to be looking towards the northwest. After a long time, he suddenly said with a deep meaning: "After this World War I, the Kingdom of Liang must be destroyed. The loss of this arm by the Turkic people is a deterrent to the Tang Dynasty." It is much smaller, but it is still the most tyrannical force in the world, and after this battle in the Tang Dynasty, I have to cultivate the vitality of my soldiers, so I am afraid that there will be a confrontation, because neither side has fought again in a short period of time Ability……"

He looked at Gu Tianya as he spoke, his tone seemed to have deeper meaning, and he asked with a faint smile, "Brother-in-law Tianya, are you ready?"

Gu Tianya also responded with a smile, and said: "If you talk about lip service, there are many civil servants who are good at talking. If the Turkic people really want to talk, let's let those civil officials do it. Anyway, the captives are in our hands. , the other party will definitely have to pay a price if they want to exchange it back. In addition, the land captured after the destruction of the Liang Kingdom is definitely impossible to return. I don’t know if Master Liang died in the war. That would be even more perfect. Since ancient times, when the country is destroyed, the king is the first to be destroyed. I reckon those people under the second brother's hands will not let him go..."

Li Shimin said quietly from the side, "The head of Liang Shidu can be converted into at least [-] military exploits, and none of the generals of the Tang Dynasty is not

Chapter 208 [Gu Tianya Beats Jieli Khan Violently]

I Have Backstage in Datang Chapter 208 [Gu Tianya Beats Jieli Khan Violently] There was a muffled bang.

A tall Turkic man was thrown to the ground.

This person has very high cheekbones, slightly slender eyebrows, and a pair of sharp eyes shining sharply, even if he is thrown to the ground, he does not change his unruly spirit.

Eyes like vultures.
