Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

……

The two uncles and nephews got along well with each other, and Dardanelle, the Tubo envoy, also changed into Han Chinese costumes, sneaked out of the Hongbin Building, and found the little prince Dochiluo.

Dardanelle informed Dochiluo of the sudden scene just now, and hoped that the little prince would be able to prepare a countermeasure in time.

Of course, Dardanelle's search for Dochiluo fell into Wei Shuyu's eyes without any accident.

This kid was alert, rushed back to the Guo Mansion in Taipingfang immediately, and passed the news to Guo Ye.

After hearing this, Guo Ye smiled and said with a relaxed expression: "Two wins in three rounds, buddy is not a tie, but a single win, just wait and see!"

Wei Shuyu repeatedly questioned Guo Ye about his winning tactics, but Guo Ye kept his mouth shut, he didn't tell anything, he just said back and forth: "When the time comes, you will know!"

……

……

Ma Yuanju, who was in charge of the competition, borrowed a venue in the Imperial City Beast Supervisor, set up the venue for the dog fighting competition there, and renovated it, enough to accommodate thousands of people to watch the competition.

Two days later, the dog fighting competition between Datang and Tubo officially kicked off. It lasted for one day, one in the morning and two in the noon.

Two wins in three rounds, win or lose!

Chapter 468 Timely Delivery

The Beastmaster, as the name suggests, is a place to breed and raise rare animals for the Imperial Palace Beast Garden, for the emperor, empress and concubines to appreciate and relieve boredom.

Anyone who cherishes exotic animals must first enter the Beast Guard to observe for a period of time, and then pull them into the Beast Guard Garden in the palace.The purpose is to let the people in the animal supervisor know the habits of the animals first, and check whether the animal has infectious diseases, otherwise it will spoil the food if it infects the entire palace.

Of course, the animals that the emperor got tired of looking at in the imperial beast garden, or the animals that died of illness in the imperial beast garden, would be pulled out of the palace and let the beast master handle it.

Compared with the imperial beast garden, the imperial beast supervisor has the function of transferring or destroying rare and exotic objects.

The Beast Supervisor is located in the imperial city, covering quite a large area, as large as several hectares, and is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who is in charge of the beast guard has a keen eye. When he heard that Ma Yuanju was going to occupy the venue for a dog fighting competition, and also heard that this matter had attracted the attention of the current emperor, how could he dare to neglect it?

As early as a few days ago, the dog fighting venue was cleaned up and repaired properly.

The purpose is to allow today's dog fighting competition to be held as scheduled.

……

……

The dog fighting competition was scheduled to start at Chen hour, and it was too early for Chen hour, and it was still around Mao hour.

However, the crowd watching the game has already begun to enter the arena one after another.

In addition to the participating parties of the Tubo Mission and the Calligraphy Class, there were as many as a thousand people who came to watch the game. Most of them are people who bet on winning or losing in Changlefang. These people easily entered the imperial city, which shows that their identities are not small.

At the end of the Mao hour, the contestants have not yet appeared, and the crowd of spectators has filled up the entire venue.

The Tubo envoy Dardanelle, Minister of Rites Li Gang, Tongshisheren Xiao Shen, Zhongshusheren Ma Yuanju and others were seated impressively, sitting firmly on the judging platform like a Diaoyutai.

Ma Yuanju quietly glanced at Dardanelle, the Tubo envoy, and saw that this guy had a calm and clear face at this time, as if he had a plan in his mind. Looking at the empty field below, he couldn't help but muttered in his heart, yesterday was still in a hurry, how can he do it today? Changed appearance?

Suspicion suddenly arose in his heart, and he couldn't help but insinuating: "May I ask the envoy, is that erratic little prince of Dochiluo from your country here? Why can't you see him, his ten-member team, and the snow mountain lion from your country who participated in the competition?" ?”

With a smile on his face, Dardanelle turned his head back and said: "My little prince has already arrived, and the group of ten people and the ten snow mountain lions have also arrived early. At this time, I will take a rest in the house arranged by your country. Come, will definitely appear!"

In response, Dardanelle asked again: "Dare to ask Masheren, where are the noble children in your country's calligraphy class? Why haven't you played for so long? This envoy is very curious, what kind of magic is prepared by your country?" Dogs are fighting with our country's snow mountain lions."

Looking at Dardanelle's appearance, Ma Yuanju always felt strange in his heart, but he didn't know where the other party's fault was.

Since the opponent is still so calm after knowing the content of the remaining two competitions, it seems that today is really a bad day!

However, he also smiled and replied to Dardanelle without losing his grace: "The students in the calligraphy class are just like the little princes of your country. They are also resting in the house, waiting for the arrival of the competition time!"

Dardanelle scratched his beard, laughed dryly twice, and stopped looking at Ma Yuanju with full fighting intent in his eyes, and continued to stare back at the field.

Li Gang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was baffled by the plain questions and answers of the two, so he chatted with Xiao Shen beside him.

……

……

The eunuchs of the Beast Supervisor prepared houses for both sides to rest, so that they could make final preparations before the match.

Duo Chiluo, the young prince of Tubo, was assigned to the West Head, while Guo Ye and other members of the Calligraphy Class were assigned to the East Head.

At this time, in the Dongtou house, all the members of the calligraphy class were present, except for Du He.

Du Ruhui, Du He's father, seemed to be seriously ill. Guo Ye and others expressed their understanding when he was serving the son of man.

Guo Ye had just pumped up the gas for everyone, and Fang Yiai, Wei Shuyu and others were leading ten greyhounds each, feeding them one after another.

While the big guy and the greyhound were exchanging feelings and cultivating a tacit understanding, Guo Ye secretly pulled his eldest grandson Yumo to a corner, and showed off his trump card—tiger feces, tiger urine, and Shengxian pill.

The eldest grandson Yumo listened to Guo Ye explaining the usefulness of these gadgets, and was stunned. Grandma, it turns out that Guo Ye's sure way to win is to play tricks?

I only heard Guo Ye say: "With these treasures, except for the first fight, hey, you can watch the other two games!"

Changsun Yumo covered his nose and waved his hands hurriedly to signal Guo Ye to quickly cover the stinky feces and urine, and said in a low voice: "You mean, in the next two battles of quickness and wits, these things can help us win? Then What do you use to guarantee winning or losing the first game?"

Guo Ye rolled his eyes at him, and spat: "Stupid, what do you want to win or lose in the first game? Two out of three games, we only need to win two games. The snow mountain lion is always the overlord of the dog breed, even if the greyhound is smeared with tiger excrement and urine , and may not be able to win. Instead of this, we might as well abandon the first game and use these ultimate moves in the next two games."

Changsun Yumo nodded, came to his senses, and shouted: "Yes, yes, it makes sense!"

Rang Dang~ Rang Dang Dang Dang~~

A sound of iron chains hitting and rubbing passed by the door, and Guo Ye's face changed suddenly. Besides, his conversation was eavesdropped, and he rushed to the door and shouted: "Who is it?"

bang~

Changsun Yumo had already opened the door one step ahead of him, and rushed out.

After rushing out of the door, the guy looked left and right, but there was no ghost, so he had to return to the house.

Just about to cross the threshold, I found an extra envelope on the ground.

He picked it up and saw that it was written on the envelope: "Passed by Guo Ye!"

Immediately, he closed the door and shouted at Guo Ye: "I guess I ran away, grandma, at such a fast speed, it's like a wild cat jumping over a wall."

After finishing speaking, he handed back the envelope in his hand to Guo Ye.

Guo Ye took it over and looked at the words on the envelope, but his face was also confused. Could it be that this person didn't come to eavesdrop, but sent a letter to himself?
