Chapter 350 [Mr. Gu? So you are that Mr. Gu! 】
That night, in the city.
Although Goguryeo is located in Liaodong, it is deeply influenced by the Central Plains culture. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, this country has been following many policies of the Han Dynasty...such as curfew.
The so-called curfew means that pedestrians are not allowed to go to the streets at night, all households must close their doors, and shops are not allowed to open at night.
But this refers to the late night.
In the first half of the night, especially before the hour of Hai (21:00 pm), there is generally no curfew in the city, and the more prosperous the city is, the more it will be.
Because there are night markets in this era, they are even more noisy than the daytime markets.
Since night has just arrived and the curfew is still a long time before, there are many pedestrians on the street, and the roads are filled with stalls, bustling between them, making it extremely lively.
Gu Tianya walked slowly, like a aimless idle person wandering around. Gu Chang'e followed him step by step, while the three men were confused.
They don't understand what Gu Tianya is going to do.
It was clearly said that he wanted to seduce the powerful officials of Goguryeo, but why did he not move at all after entering the city and instead wander around the streets? It was a waste of time.
Finally, the three subordinates couldn't hold it in, but when Yan Jiu came to Gu Tianya, he whispered: "Head of the family, it's getting late..."
As he said that, he paused for a moment, and said carefully: "This is not our Youzhou."
The implication is self-evident. This guy is worried about the emergence of the situation. He wants to persuade Gu Tianya to go and do the important business as soon as possible and leave early after finishing the important business.
After all, this is in other people's territory, especially in the enemy's capital. Even with Gu Chang'e following him, Yan Jiu was still worried about Gu Tianya's safety.
Unfortunately, his persuasion was ineffective. Gu Tianya seemed to be full of interest and wanted to go shopping. After hearing this, he turned a deaf ear to a stall. Instead, he slowly walked to a small stall.
This stall is placed on the corner of the street. The stall owner is a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. This person is wearing a fur coat. The sewing technique is obviously rough. The fur coat is covered with dirty balls, and the man's hair is also curled in a mess.
A gust of cold wind blew, and a strong body odor floated out of the man's body. Gu Chang'e immediately frowned and covered her nose with her hands and took two steps back.
The three subordinates also frowned and subconsciously avoided the man's stall.
Only Gu Tianya squatted down and didn't care about the man's sloppyness. He squatted in front of the stall for a long time, reached out to search and pick up the goods, suddenly looked up at the man, and suddenly asked, "You are a Han Chinese, right?"
The man was originally shrank his hands and closed his eyes, as if he was dozing off with the cold wind. Hearing this, his body shook and his eyes suddenly opened.
There seemed to be light in his eyes, which was a kind of unspeakable light.
He looked at Gu Tianya straight, as if he wanted to see through Gu Tianya's thoughts, while Gu Tianya had a warm smile on his face, as warm as the spring breeze.
Under the lights of the shop in the distance, the two of them looked at each other quietly. After a long time, the man finally spoke in a low voice and said with a cautious tone: "I...I am not a Han..."
"No, you are!" Gu Tianya responded in an instant, his tone seemed solemn.
He still had a gentle smile on his face, staring at the man with a soft look, and whispered: "Don't be afraid, we are also Han people."
However, the man had already lowered his head and his hands were huddled in his fur coat again. He said cowardly: "Do you want to buy something? The goods on my stall are all very good. Not expensive, not expensive. If you want to help, please buy more things..."
There is a strong sense of caution in the words.
It is also like a dog whose backbone is broken, and he will be trembling with any movement.
This is obviously a humble reason caused by long-term difficulties and hardships.
Gu Tianya sighed.
Then he turned around and looked at Ma Sanbao and said in a deep voice: "Do you still have money on you? Take it out and give it to me."
Ma Sanbao was slightly stunned and subconsciously said, "Head of the family, we are in a hurry."
The implication is self-evident. He didn't have much money on him. He had bribed soldiers before and spent all the bags of copper coins when he was at the city gate.
Gu Tianya sighed again, turned around and looked at the man again. His tone was even gentler, and he said softly: "I'm sorry, I came out in a hurry and didn't carry money with me, so I'm afraid I can't help you."
The man still lowered his head and shrank his hands, saying cowardly: "It's okay, it's okay. If the customer doesn't want to buy things, please go to other places to visit. If you stay in my stall for a long time, the taxpayers on the inspection will misunderstand that I have sold the goods. In that case, they will force me to pay the tax."
This is sad and sad.
Gu Tianya slowly let out a breath, suddenly reached out and touched his waist, and then pulled off a jade pendant from his waist.
Below the jade pendant, paired with a copper coin with a sparkling copper light, Gu Tianya reached out and handed the jade pendant to the man, pointed at the copper coin and said, "Do you know this kind of coin?"
The man was obviously stunned, his body seemed to tremble, and he almost blurted out his tone, and his tone was unprecedentedly strong, saying, "Wuzhu Coin."
"Not bad, it's Wuzhu coins!"
Gu Tianya pulled it out and pulled down the copper coins under the jade pendant.
Then he stretched out his other hand and pulled up the man's hand that was huddled in the fur coat. He solemnly handed over the copper coin and slapped it heavily in the man's palm.
His eyes were full of warmth, and as if full of guilt, he said to the man softly: "You are in trouble and have suffered all kinds of hardships. I am not qualified to persuade you to let go of your hatred, but I want to ask you not to forget your own tribe. The blood shed on our bodies is the blood left by our ancestors. The hometown of Zhongyuan has never forgotten you. We have been trying hard to take you home..."
The man suddenly looked up, and there seemed to be a sharp sword in his eyes.
It was a kind of murderous light, and it seemed to be a long-awaited look. His eyes were dumb and dazed. After a long time, he finally asked with a trembling voice and said, "Who are you?"
However, Gu Tianya did not answer, but instead pointed to the copper coins in the man's hand and said warmly: "This Wuzhu coin is regarded as a gift I gave you. Because of the hasty arrival this time, I did not bring any money that can help you. But I can give you a guarantee that you will get the help you deserve soon... That help is called going home."
Then he spoke solemnly, pointed his hand at his face, and said, "Remember my name, my name is Gu Tianya!"
After saying that, he stood up suddenly, then turned around in the man's dazed eyes, and walked along the street towards the distance.
Gu Chang'e thought about it and suddenly raised her foot to the stall. She waved her palm slightly and shot out a light spot that was undetectable. Then she looked at the man deeply, turned around and chased Gu Tianya.
It was not until this time that Ma Sanbao and Yan Jiu realized something. The two retainers looked at each other, and suddenly bowed down at the same time, and said with guilt: "Comrades, you have suffered! We are retainers of the Gu family, and we will pay the deepest respect to you."
Only Han Si's intelligence was slightly worse and he didn't understand it from beginning to end, but Han Si also bowed his fists, and then the three subordinates hurriedly chased Gu Tianya.
...
The stall was quiet again before, leaving only the man sitting there in a daze.
Suddenly, he seemed to be coming back from a nightmare. He looked down at the copper coin in the palm of his hand, then looked up at the direction where Gu Tianya left. For some reason, his eyes suddenly turned red...
Then he burst into tears, his voice choked and murmured, "Wuzhu coins, Wuzhu coins, this is the money of our Han people, this is the money of our Han people."
Gu Tianya asked twice just now, but he never admitted that he was a Han person. However, it was not until Gu Tianya left that he finally said the word "Han person" from his mouth.
He knew Wuzhu coins.
This is money from my hometown.
Since the Han Dynasty, every dynasty in the Central Plains has minted coins, but no matter which dynasty or which dynasty, the coins minted are Wuzhu coins.
For example, during the Great Sui Dynasty, the Wuzhu coins were used, but they were not Wuzhu of the Han Dynasty, but were named Wuzhu of the Sui Dynasty.
This is the money the Central Plains dynasty has been using.
Almost every Han people know it.
The man suddenly clenched his palms and grabbed the Wuzhu coin tightly. He felt the temperature of the coin, and Gu Tianya's gentle smile seemed to appear in front of him.
Suddenly he growled in his throat, roaring like a wild beast, Senshen said: "Twenty years, twenty years. Finally, finally..."
He suddenly gritted his teeth, and his eyes were filled with deep hatred, and he said, "Goguryeo, you wait. The sword of our Han people has pointed at you tonight."
Wait, wait.
All the deep hatred and blood will be repaid one day.

He raised his head again, looked at the direction where Gu Tianya left from afar, and whispered: "Gu Tianya, it turns out that you are the Mr. Gu..."
Even though these people fell into foreign lands and suffered years of torture by the Goguryeo people, they have been inquiring about their hometowns and have been looking forward to a great hero reappearing among the Han people.
Until three years ago, they finally heard a name.
Gu Tianya!
...
The man lowered his head again, his hands shrank into his fur coat again, and his appearance regained his cowardice, just like his usual cautiousness.
No matter who comes to see him, he will only think that this is an honest person who can be deceived at will.
But only the man himself knew that a fire had been lit in his chest at this time, and the flames burned, as if the blood was burning.
There was a cry in his heart.
That was the expectation that I had been waiting for more than twenty years.
"Mr. Gu, we who are not dead are watching you and waiting for you..."
"Although the Sui soldiers were old, they could still fight."
That year, he was only fifteen years old.
Emperor Yang conquered Liaodong and became a Sui soldiers.
The heads of millions of comrades were chopped down and built into Jingguan, while he and a group of Sui soldiers endured humiliation and silently protected Jingguan and waited for hope.
Twenty years have passed, and although he is now thirty-five, he still uses his sword, but he can still kill people.
He can still fight, he hopes to fight again.
He wanted to use the knife in his hand to cut off the heads of the Goguryeo people. The deep hatred and blood that had been buried for twenty years were waiting for someone to lead them to avenge the revenge one day.
Three years ago, they heard Gu Tianya's name.
From then on they knew that this was the one who could lead them to revenge.
...
A gust of cold wind blew, and the man's body shook coldly.
