Han official!

Chapter 70 Yelang
"Of course."

Wei Guang pulled the short, thin, and dark-skinned Duo over and said, "He lives in the Barbarian Residence at Duting in Gaojie. He's considered the younger brother of Yelang Hou Duotong. But like me, he and Duotong have the same mother but different fathers."

The ruler of Yelang State was Yelang Hou.

The half-brother of King Duotong.

Guo Jie knelt on the sitting platform in the extraordinary room, looking at the reserved crowd at the door, and found the matter interesting.

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, tried many times to invade Sindhu, also known as India, through the southwest, but failed every time because he could not find the way.

Wei Guang, the first person on the southern front of the Han Dynasty, made acquaintances with people familiar with the Southwestern Yi in advance.

Maybe, we can really invade Sindhu.

"good."

Guo Jie nodded and said, "I'm not against you making friends, but remember not to associate with bad people who spend their days eating and drinking and squandering the money allocated to you. Now that Madam Jia is watching over you, I can finally rest assured."

Making friends too much can easily attract a group of cunning people who want to eat and drink for free.

The sturdy Madam Jia stared at Wei Guang.

Guo Jiefang felt relieved but couldn't help laughing.

The two of them are really a perfect match.

Wei Guang laughed foolishly and pulled Duo into the extraordinary room, patting his chest and saying, "Duo is good at raising sheep. He said that from now on, brother doesn't have to go to the nine markets in Chang'an to buy sheep. Duo will bring the sheep back personally."

Raising sheep?

Guo Jie was puzzled and asked, "Where can you find a sheep pen in Chang'an?"

Duo scratched his Han hair and said shyly, "I am one of the envoys of Yelang. I converted the barbarian residence of Yelang into a sheep pen and raised hundreds of sheep, enough for Chief Guo to eat for a year."

The embassy is used to raise sheep.

Guo Jie opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment, and then laughed: "I won't eat your sheep for free. You can sell it to the chef at the market price. The Gaojie Duting will pay for the meat every month."

How urgent.

Guo Jie waved his hand and said, "We can only buy it. If we eat it for free, it will be considered robbery, and Zhang Tang will inevitably blame me when he reports it to the clerk."

When he heard Zhang Tang's name, he could only laugh awkwardly and kneel on the reed mat next to the horseshoe stove.

He made up his mind to choose the fattest sheep for Guo Jie.

"Gududu——"

Steam was rising from the large cauldron above the horseshoe-shaped stove, and the aroma of corn mixed with the fragrance of duck meat filled the entire house.

A pot of delicious duck soup is ready.

Zhang Qian, Wei Guang, Yi Zong and others stared at the duck soup with their eyes wide open, their mouths watering and they kept swallowing their saliva.

Duo couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He just took a look and didn't dare to look again.

Guo Jie took out some leek and Polygonum multiflorum and scattered them on the cauldron.

The duck soup is enhanced with garlic and spicy flavors, making it fragrant and tasty.

"Mangtong, bring the bowl."

Guo Jie took the earthenware bowl and served a bowl of duck soup to Zhang Qian, Wei Guang and Yi Zong respectively.

When it was Mang Tong's turn, a large pottery bowl suddenly appeared.

A large earthenware jar usually used to hold fermented black beans and sauces.

Yi (瓵).

"You."

Guo Jie smiled helplessly, took the bowl, filled it with five full bowls of duck soup, and handed it over.

Mang Tong chuckled, hugged the soup and started eating, not even minding that it was hot.

Guo Jie brought another earthenware bowl, filled it with duck soup, handed it to Duo, who was secretly swallowing his saliva, and stuffed it into his hand.

Duo was stunned at first, tears in his eyes, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.

This scene stunned everyone present.

Just a bowl of rice.

Is that so? Guo Jie quickly helped Duo up and looked at Wei Guang beside him: "What is he doing..."

Wei Guang sighed and said, "He was a quiet man with a pragmatic nature. He was often bullied, but he couldn't stand the bullying from his brothers in Yelang, so he ran to Chang'an as an envoy. I met him because an old actor refused to pay for his sheep and shouted at the top of his lungs that the Yelang people were stealing Han sheep. My brother was the first one who stopped bullying him and treated him like a human being."

, sheep phase, that is, sheep squeeze and push each other.

“Alas, he is also a poor man.”

Guo Jie knew that this kind of person was the most grateful and repaying kindness, so he patted Duo on the shoulder and said, "Sit down and enjoy your meal. Since you have sent this gift, Wei Guang recognizes you as a friend, and I, the official, also recognize you as a friend."

Hearing the word "friend" more often, I feel like something is stuck in my throat and my eyes can't help but become moist.

For the first time in my life, I was treated as a friend.

"Ersanzi, come here."

Guo Jie called over a few guards and said, "You guys take the cauldron out and call all the guards over to share the duck soup."

The guard was overjoyed and hurriedly carried the cauldron out of the extraordinary room.

In the past, guards could hardly eat meat once a year.

Now following Guo Jie, he can have a meal of meat every few days, and the coarse wheat rice is enough to fill him up.

Dare not to die!

It was very strange that we were the only ones left in the house.

Guo Jie announced the important matter: "I intend to kill all of Nanpi Marquis Dou Pengzu's rivals. Do you have any good ideas?"

To take revenge on someone is to make him feel pain.

The thief killed what he valued most.

What Dou Pengzu, Marquis of Nanpi, cared about most were the dozens of wrestlers. However, maintaining these wrestlers cost an entire county in taxes every year.

This does not include the various rewards, firewood, silk and other wasteful expenses.

Zhang Qian, Wei Guang and Yi Zong were shocked at first. They thought that the officials in Chang'an were fortunate not to be bullied by the Dou family, the in-laws. No one had ever taken the initiative to provoke the Dou family.

What's more, the thief killed Dou Pengzu's wrestler.

Dou Pengzu, Marquis of Nanpi, had a father who was the elder brother of Empress Dowager Dou. He was the nephew of Empress Dowager Dou and had a prominent status and close blood relationship with her.

Zhang Qian, Wei Guang and Yi Zong all understood what was going on.

an eye for an eye.

This is the heroic Guo Jie who killed a tiger with his bare hands.

"Haha."

Wei Guang was very happy. The bandits had killed Dou Pengzu's wrestler. It was an extremely glorious and grand event, so how could he be left out?

His body was trembling slightly from being too excited, and he couldn't wait to go and kill the thief.

"Brother."

Wei Guang pointed at Duo and offered a suggestion, "The sheep raised by Duo are extremely delicious and are quite popular among the nobles and powerful. Dou Pengzu would buy a few of these sheep every mid-month as a reward for the Hornbearer. If we mix some poison into the mutton, it will make the Hornbearer unconscious. Then you and I brothers can go and kill the Hornbearer and it will be easy."

"Very good."

Guo Jie readily agreed: "I'll trouble you, brother. If you have any difficulties, please tell me and I will find another way."

One sentence means many brothers.

I regret that I cannot die for Guo Jie.

"Mr. Guo, please wait."

Duo bowed solemnly and said, "I will definitely complete Mr. Guo's request and poison Dou Pengzu's wrestler, whom he keeps in Disheguili."

Guo Jie personally escorted Duo to the door of the extraordinary house, stood under the tiled eaves, and watched Duo walk into the small alley between the two neighborhoods, and into the neighborhood where the Yelang barbarians' residence was located.

He turned around, looked at the eager faces of the group, and said in a deep voice, "Due to the laws of the Chang'an government, you can only wear armor in the Gao Street Duting. Wearing armor outside Gao Street is a violation of the law. You two must be cautious and don't underestimate the enemy."

Zhang Qian, Wei Guang, Yi Zong and others nodded heavily.

After half the time (0:45-1:30), go to Disheguili where your opponent is.
