格拜辭而去，葉彥率義士三十人送渡漢江而旋。 Ge took his leave; Ye Yan led thirty volunteers to see him across the Han River and then turned back.

〈（《舊唐書》：任圜攜格還洛，格感葉彥之惠，訪之，身已歿，厚恤其家。 (The Old Book of Tang: Ren Yuan brought Ge back to Luoyang; remembering Ye Yan's kindness, Ge sought him out, found him dead, and generously provided for his family.
