Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The rain did not stop the next day, and the drizzle drifted overhead, making the streets and roads wet, but not much.

Guo Shao put on a wide-brimmed straw hat and went straight. In the morning, Gao Huaide spoke highly of him, and then went to Dong's house to discuss with the "matchmaker" the specific matters of marriage proposal. Guo Shao thought that marriage was more important, so he left the Department of Guards after midnight. He went home with the money first, and he should also give gifts when he proposes a marriage, and the matchmaker must not let the matchmaker pay for it himself.

On the east side of the inner city of Dong's house, Guo Shao led a few followers and followed the direction through the workshop. At this time, he bumped into an acquaintance: Zhao San (played by Kuang Yi).

As soon as they reached an intersection, they saw Zhao San and a companion riding horses from the side street. Guo Shao didn't think too much, and immediately reined in his mount and leaned against the side of the street. Horseback riding is allowed in the city, but galloping horses are not allowed, otherwise it will be a mess in a city full of pedestrians. Therefore, Guo Shao easily controlled the mount.

There were people coming and going on the street, Guo Shao was wearing a military uniform, symbolically wearing a piece of light soft armor, but none of his followers were wearing armor, and all of them were wearing cloth robes. Zhao San and the others didn't seem to notice Guo Shao, walking unhurriedly while talking with him.

"Let's wait for a while." Guo Shao told his followers.

He recognized Zhao San at a glance. This person has only met once, and that was when he was a guest to the training family. But Zhao San's appearance and figure are very similar to Zhao Kuangyin's, and Guo Shao is very familiar with Zhao Kuangyin's appearance, so it is easy to recognize Zhao San.

Guo Shao avoided here because he didn't want to go up to say hello. It's completely personal preference, he doesn't have a good impression of Zhao San, and he doesn't want to associate with him, that's all.

Suddenly he recognized that the literati in robes beside Zhao San seemed to be Zhao Pu. Guo Shao met Zhao Pu twice when he was in Huainan, and then he remembered that this person seemed to be Zhao Kuangyin's counselor, and he was relatively famous...but not yet.

This made Guo Shao curious, and realized that the street Zhao San and others walked was a bit different: Li Chuyun's house was nearby.

Guo Shao looked back, and ordered a familiar follower to point to Zhao San and the two: "Lu Chengyong, follow up and see where they are going... The horse riding has a big target, so you lead it. We will wait for you near Li Chuyun's house. When you understand, come and join us."

"Here." Lu Chengyong saluted the army.

Guo Shao frowned, and said, "Be careful, don't be caught out."

Walking separately on both sides, Guo Shao waited for Zhao San to pass, then took the rest to the side street and walked in the direction Zhao San came. After walking for a long time, at the corner of another intersection, it was indeed Li Chuyun's mansion. Guo Shao saw a teahouse at the intersection, so he handed over horses to his entourage and went up to sit and wait. For the convenience of talking, they found a secluded place by the street with a screen partition.

After waiting for a long time, Guo Shao saw Lu Chengyong came back from upstairs, so he asked someone to go down and call him. I saw Lu Chengyong riding around the vicinity for a few times, without even looking up, this fellow was quite sullen; this caused the servants at the gate of Li Chuyun's mansion to look at this big man wandering around vigilantly.

The person who finally went downstairs stopped him and brought him upstairs.

There were very few guests in the teahouse in the morning, and when Lu Chengyong came up, Guo Shao gave him a wink and asked people to stare at him in the aisle. Lu Chengyong came up and said: "Those two people went to Zhuque Street and rode northward on horseback. The horses on the street were running fast. I was afraid that they would find out, so I didn't continue to follow. But I heard something important along the way."

After Guo Shao listened, he thought that the "important words" of Zhao Sanjia might be very important, so he turned away from the left and right, and continued to ask: "Heard what they said?"

Lu Chengyong said in a deep voice: "That white and fat young man seems to have taken a fancy to the wife of Li Chuyun's family."

"What?" Guo Shao was startled. "The lady of the Li family is a lady, and she almost goes out; Li Chuyun and the Zhao family have no contact. What's going on?"

Lu Chengyong shook his head and said, "I don't know. The fat young man said to his companion named Zhao Pu, 'I just saw the lady of the Li family and I can't forget it. It's a pity in my life not to marry her'. Zhao Pu then advised him, 'Li Chuyun won't agree to the marriage.' The fat young man said, 'Brother Zhao, think of a way for me.

Guo Shao's face changed when he heard this. The first time I saw Zhao San, I felt that he was young but not easy, but I always felt that he was not old and had no strength, so I didn't pay attention to it for the time being, and only paid attention to Zhao Kuangyin. Unexpectedly, after contacting him again, he immediately realized that Zhao San might create a big problem for himself.

The wife of the Li family can marry anyone, but she can't marry someone from Zhao Kuangyin's family... Guo Shao can't care about his aversion to Zhao San and his personal emotions now, and he can't sit idly by purely considering the situation. If Li and Zhao become relatives, will Li Chuyun be on Zhao Kuangyin's side or his own? There is also Li Chuyun's good brother Luo Yanhuan, whose position is also hard to say.

Guo Shao realized that his backyard seemed to be set on fire.

There are quite a few generals under his command who just served and recognized the Lord. But the most talented people are Li Chuyun and Luo Yanhuan; Guo Shao's brother Yang Biao is less talented, and Luo Mengzi is even worse. If Li Chuyun and Luo Yanhuan defected, then Guo Shao would suffer a heavy loss... After a long time, giving them the opportunity to make meritorious service and specialize in cultivation and promotion, has two nails been inserted in his own team?

No, this must not happen. Guo Shao doesn't know the situation now, how did Zhao San meet with Li's wife; Li Chuyun secretly had contacts with Zhao Kuangyin's family?

Zhao Pu said that "Li Chuyun will not agree", there should be no falsehood. It is not easy for the Zhao family to gain a foothold from Guo Shao, especially someone like Li Chuyun; the people of the Zhe family did not treat him very well, but Li Chuyun did not betray Zhegong easily...but it should not be taken lightly.

These two thieves can do such a big thing as planning to seize power, and their mental means and talents are by no means easy. If they only want to marry Li's wife, maybe there is a way.

Guo Shao was at a loss, so he asked someone to make tea money and came downstairs. He walked the street with his horse for a long time, not knowing where to start this matter.

At this moment, suddenly a young lady came out of Li Chuyun's house, walked up to Guo Shao generously, and said, "General Guo is here to visit my family, A-Lang? Then why didn't you come?"

Seeing that she looked familiar, Guo Shao remembered that she seemed to be the servant girl next to Li's wife, so he said casually: "We just passed by here. General Li should go straight up. The master of Li's family is not at home, so I can't visit."

The servant girl pointed to the teahouse where Guo Shao had just come out at the diagonally opposite street again, and said, "If General Guo is willing, go find a private room over there and wait. My wife wants to see you."

"At the door of General Li's house, it doesn't seem very good." Guo Shao hesitated slightly.

The servant girl said: "It's all right at the door of the house."

Guo Shao also wanted to see Mrs. Li, so he said without further ado, "Then I'll go there first, and I'll ask my soldiers to wait at the door of the teahouse later, and let Mrs. Li come up and talk."

Guo Shao went in again, and this time he paid for a separate and cleaner private room with a bamboo curtain hanging at the door, but there was no door. Guo Shao sent someone to guard the door, and went in alone to wait.

Not long after, I saw Mrs. Li coming. But seeing her wearing a light-colored jacket and skirt, the color is sober, but it fits very well, low-key and luxurious. The size of the tailoring and sewing everywhere is moderate, which sets off her plump and round chest, waist and hip lines. The stand-up collar top does not even reveal a bit of skin, but it has a seductive figure. Li Chuyun had never been a high-ranking military officer before, so he was very willing to raise a daughter, and he really cultivated the temperament of everyone's lady.

After she entered the door, she took off the veiled hat on her head, her cheeks were a little flushed, and her eyes were on the ground. Guo Shao hurriedly got up and moved the chair opposite the table, "Miss Li, please sit down." After Mrs. Li sat down, he released his hand from the back of the chair.

Mrs. Li said, "Why are you still looking for me now?"

Guo Shao said in his heart: I am not here to look for you... But wandering around in front of Li's house, and not going straight to the door, it really seems that I came to see Mrs. Li specially.

Mrs. Li said again: "I came to see you today because I just wanted to talk about it so that I don't have to worry about it. Last time I gave you the insole, you have to return it to me. From then on, you and I don't owe each other, just pretend we never knew each other..." As she spoke, her own voice was a little out of tune.

Guo Shao felt that the atmosphere was not right, as if they were breaking up, since they had never been together before, how could they talk about breaking up? He was so confused that he really couldn't figure out the relationship, and finally couldn't help answering the question: "There is a young man named Zhao Kuangyi, have you met him?"

Mrs. Li was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes, can you control me?"

Guo Shao blushed, and said: "You are still a lady who has not been out of the court in her teens, and her family is clean, so you can't just see men."

Li Shi said: "Then it's inappropriate for us to meet now?"

Guo Shao was speechless.

He was sullen, and couldn't help but said: "Don't be fooled by that Zhao San's loyal and righteous appearance. You are young and ignorant, but I know his details. You are not a good bird! Your father and I are brothers, and I am worried about you so I can persuade you." The more he said, the more angry he was, "From the beginning to the end, there is no place that does not have evil intentions..."

Mrs. Li sneered and said, "You are really strange. You married someone from the empress's natal family happily; but you turned a blind eye to me and abandoned it like a broom..."

"It's definitely not like this." Guo Shao hurriedly interrupted her, "I still care about Mrs. Li in my heart, but I also have difficulties."

Thinking of how no one cares about him before, but now he is helpless... In his previous life, whoever told him that the ancients could have three wives and four concubines, Guo Shaobao would not be able to beat him to death. Both the Tang and Zhou dynasties had laws prohibiting bigamy, and punishments ranged from beating the board to exile for three thousand miles, and even divorce.

Guo Shao thought of Fu Ermei, even if he didn't consider marriage, he was unwilling to let her down.
