Chapter 222 Guo Ziyi's Movement
Chapter 232 Guo Ziyi's Movement

Unbeknownst to Zhang Xuan, Guo Ziyi was bedridden in a panic at this moment.

After Guo Min escaped from Shuofang City and returned to Lingzhou, he didn't dare to hide anything, and reported the whole story to his father Guo Ziyi truthfully.Guo Ziyi was furious, and scolded Guo Min on the spot. If it weren't for several generals and aides who stopped him, it would be inevitable to scold Guo Min with a cane.

Guo Ziyi immediately fell ill, mainly due to heartache and helplessness.

Although he has many children, he has high hopes for this second son, and he wants to train him to be his successor in the Longshuo army. Therefore, Guo Yi is the only son among Guo Ziyi's children currently serving in the army.

But his eldest son, Guo Yao, didn't like conquest and only loved reading.Guo Ziyi didn't want to force Guo Yao, so he had to let Guo Yao study essays and follow the path of civil servants in the future.

But now Guo Yan has caused a catastrophe.

Regardless of his great reasons, it is a serious crime for him to lead his army to attack the Huihe princess without authorization.And if Su Hudong, the princess of Huihe, died in the desert, it would become a death penalty.Once known by the court, Guo Min will undoubtedly die.

At this time, Guo Ziyi didn't know that among the Uighurs captured by Guo Min, there was Ge Le, the prince of Huihe, and Ge Le almost died in Guo Min's hands.Of course, Guo Yan didn't know Ge Le's true identity, and he thought he was a nobleman or general among the Huihe people.

Guo Ziyi was lying on the bed, thinking about how to settle this matter.He intends to send people to Huihe to make amends and win the understanding of the Huihe people, but he is also worried that this move will arouse the suspicion of Zhang Xuan, the new governor.

And if the situation is allowed to develop, and when Governor Zhang arrives in Lingzhou, where else can Guo Yi escape?
Next, bad news came from Shuofang one after another, which shocked Guo Ziyi's heart.

Hearing that among the Uyghurs captured by Guo Ji was the Uyghur prince Gele, the heir to the Khan throne of Uyghur, Guo Ziyi was shocked and secretly thought that something was wrong.

Immediately afterwards, there was another military report that the Huihe people besieged Shuofang City with a large army to ask for the return of Gele.

Almost at the same time, the news that Zhang Xuan summoned the generals of the Shuofang prefectures and dismissed Li Guangbi's military post in Shuofang also spread throughout Lingzhou.

Guo Ziyi let out a long sigh when he heard the report, knowing that his son, who had high hopes, might not be able to keep him.

Zhang Xuan made a big "movement" in Shuofang. It was obvious that he was killing a chicken for the monkeys to see. On the surface, he was attacking Li Guangbi, but in fact it was also a deterrent, and he did it for the generals on Guo Ziyi's side.

Guo Ziyi felt irritable and hopeless, was sick and had a high fever for several days.

……

……

Guo Ziyi was lying on the bed with a wet wipe on her forehead.Because of the persistent high fever, his face was flushed, his breathing was a little short, and he couldn't stop coughing.

The doctor gave him a diagnosis and treatment, prescribed a prescription, and then withdrew.Outside the bedroom, Guo Ziyi's eldest son Guo Yao, third son Guo Chen, and youngest daughter Guo Fu waited anxiously in the hospital. Seeing the doctor come out, Guo Yao stepped forward, grabbed the doctor's arm and asked anxiously, "Sir, how is my father's illness?" ? Is there a serious problem?"

The doctor smiled and shook his head, "My lord, Guo Shuai is fine, so don't worry. It's just that he got a cold because of worry, and he can recover after taking a few medicines. It's just that the illness comes and goes like a mountain. If it's like spinning, Guo Shuai still needs to stay in bed for more than a month due to his illness."

Guo Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

Guo Chen said in a deep voice, "Brother, let me just say, father-in-law has always been in good health, so there is no need to worry about this minor illness."

Guo Fu didn't say anything, but a hint of worry slipped across her pretty face.

Seeing that the doctor had gone far away, Guo Yao let out a long sigh and said in a low voice, "Third brother, younger sister, the second brother has caused a catastrophe. Now that Governor Zhang is marching to Lingzhou day by day, the second brother will sooner or later be free from felony crimes. I am worried about my brother." My father was too angry and hurt his vitality."

Guo Chen frowned, and waved his hands disapprovingly, "What's the big deal. The second brother has always been prudent in his work, so there must be a reason for this. I heard from the second brother that if it wasn't for the Huihe princess Su Hudong who humiliated him face to face, He will not act impulsively."

"This is just a misunderstanding, what's the point? My father has guarded Longshuo for many years, and the Huihe people are terrified when they hear the news. I don't believe it. The Huihe people dare to hold on to it, and they don't give them any face!"

"As for Zhang Xuan, what about the governor? When he first arrived in Lingzhou, he relied a lot on his father's commander. With his father's commander and our Guo family defending the country for so many years, there is no credit and hard work. He can still be true to him. The second brother will start?"

Guo Yao shook his head lightly, "Otherwise, I heard that this governor is ruthless and strict in running the army. Not long after he arrived in Shuofang, he took away Li Guangbi's military power... Li Guangbi said he would take it down, let alone Guo Min ?”

"What is Li Guangbi? If it wasn't for his father's recommendation, how could he be what he is today. This man is narrow-minded and arrogant. I feel very happy that Governor Zhang dismissed him from his military post!" Guo Chen chuckled, "Father and Li Guangbi is different. Eldest brother, you don’t have to worry, I reckon, the second elder brother’s matter is at most a little punishment, and the big thing is turned into a small thing.”

Guo Fu also interjected with a smile, "Brother, the third brother is right. With the prestige of the father-in-law, Governor Zhang will not really do the second brother."

"Big brother, third brother, think about it, the second brother led the army to leave Shuofang that day, if Commander Zhang really wanted to deal with him, how could he come back?" Guo Fu blinked her lively eyes and covered her mouth with a smile.

Guo Yao's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "Little sister is right, it's true, if Chief Governor Zhang wants to deal with the second younger brother, he won't be able to escape back to Lingzhou."

The three brothers and sisters were talking in the courtyard, when Guo Ziyi's confidant, Lingzhou Governor Yin Hou Yanliang strode in, and bowed to the three brothers and sisters from a distance, "Eldest son, third son, miss!"

"Lord Hou!" Guo Yao and the others quickly returned the gift to Hou Yanliang.

Guo Fu glanced at Hou Yanliang, saw that his face was not very good-looking, and wanted to ask a few questions, but saw that Hou Yanliang had already opened the door and walked into Guo Ziyi's bedroom.

The three brothers and sisters hesitated for a moment, then followed in.

"Guo Shuai!" Hou Yanliang bowed down.

Guo Ziyi struggled to open his eyes, seeing that it was Hou Yanliang, he sighed softly and said, "Lord Hou, the governor has arrived in Lingzhou?"

Hou Yanliang nodded heavily, "Yes, the guard of honor of Commander Zhang has arrived at Shabao, less than a hundred miles away from Lingzhou. It is expected to enter Lingzhou before noon tomorrow."

Guo Ziyi's complexion changed, and he muttered silently.

Hou Yanliang hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Guo Shuai, let the officials and Mr. Zhang Xunzhang take people out of Lingzhou. The officials will explain to the governor that Guo Shuai is bedridden and cannot go out. The governor will not blame him either."

Guo Ziyi raised his eyebrows, shook his head resolutely and said, "No, I will meet you personally! The governor is an important official of the imperial court, the Duke of Lingwu County, and also the three towns of Xuanfu. I guard Lingzhou. Sorry."

"This..." Hou Yanliang hesitated.

"Come here, tie Guo Min to the old man, and go out of Lingzhou with me to meet the governor!" Guo Ziyi gritted his teeth and waved his hand suddenly, but couldn't help coughing violently.

"Guo Shuai, absolutely not!" Hou Yanliang was taken aback, "If the Second Young Master is tied up, I'm afraid..."

Guo Ziyi stopped coughing, and said with a wry smile, "Master Hou, even if you don't tie him up, do you think that this official can escape? This evil son, Guo Min, has committed a heinous crime. My official name will never be destroyed in this world." In his hands. Someone here, tied up Guo Min, and handed it over to the governor for disposal."

"Father, you can't. The second brother's unintentional mistake, let's just turn the big thing into a small one, why bother to be too serious? Besides, if Governor Zhang really wanted to punish the second brother, he wouldn't let the second brother come back to Lingzhou Please think twice, father!" Guo Chen strode in when he heard that Guo Ziyi was going to tie up Guo Yi and kill his relatives, and stopped him.

Guo Ziyi was furious, pointed at Guo Chen and reprimanded him, "It's because you and other scoundrels don't make progress, and they are arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and now they have caused such a catastrophe. It's not your turn to point fingers when I do things, step down!" "

Guo Chen was still waiting for a few words, but Guo Fu, who followed in, pulled the skirt of his clothes, signaling him not to say any more.

Guo Ziyi glanced at the two sons and one daughter in front of him, and said in his heart: You are the governor of Zhang Dadu, do you want to let go of Guo Yi?He is forcing the old man to kill his relatives righteously!If the old man is really ignorant of current affairs, I am afraid that Guo Min will really die.The old man tied up Guo Min and pleaded guilty with his son, maybe there is still a glimmer of life.

"Back off!" Guo Ziyi reprimanded again.

Guo Yao, Guo Chen, and Guo Fu didn't dare to stay any longer, and retreated in despair.

"This old man is not strict in running the family and teaching his children well. It makes Mr. Hou laugh at him for causing such a disaster." Guo Ziyi said softly, calming down his excited mind.

"Guo Shuai doesn't have to be like this. People are not sages, and there is nothing wrong with them. The second son has always done things prudently, and this time is also a misunderstanding. As long as Guo Shuai explains a thing or two in front of the governor, the Huihe people will not be caught. " Hou Yanliang comforted with a smile.

In fact, Guo Xi is really not the kind of dude who acts recklessly to bully men and women.It's just that as Guo Ziyi's son, he is somewhat arrogant about his power.

"Hey, I hope it's as Master Hou said. Lord Hou, help me to invite Mr. Zhang Xunzhang. The three of us discuss how to welcome him. The governor is in Longshuo. When we first arrived in Lingzhou, we can't Losing etiquette caused the governor to be unhappy." Guo Ziyi smiled meaningfully and coughed a few more times, "Li Guangbi has always had his eyes high above his head, and he is defiant. He must have learned a lesson when he was taken down by the governor. ?”

"Okay, I will obey." Hou Yanliang cupped his hands, "Guo Shuai, I have a suggestion."

"Master Hou, please tell me, between you and me, there is no need to hide it, just say what you have to say."

"Guo Shuai, why don't you send people to Huihe with gifts, apologize to Huihe Khan, and invite Huihe Khan and Prince Gele to meet in Lingzhou. A few good words. In this way, the governor must have to give Huihe Khan some face."
