Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Guo Shao and Li Chuyun discussed for a long time, and they slept in Li Chuyun's inner house late at night. In this situation, the lives of the two of them are tied together, so naturally they don't care about etiquette.

He didn't intend to hold a secret meeting overnight, and it was impossible to get a good rest. What you do is the work of knives and guns, but the deployment uses brain thinking. The more you stay awake, the less likely there will be omissions. He knew that he didn't sleep well, and he was groggy all day the next day; his spirit was not good, his reaction was slow, and his thinking was unclear.

So Jingniang and Shen slept outside to protect him, while Guo Shao slept in the bedroom and scalded his feet with hot water before going to bed.

However, Guo Shao fell ill again. Whenever he came to this kind of hurdle in life, he would easily suffer from insomnia. I rarely suffer from insomnia, but once I encounter it, there is nothing I can do about it. No matter how I try to convince myself, it is useless... I subconsciously understand that there may be a few more days to live, and no one can really ignore it.

However, Guo Shao suffered from insomnia more than once, and he has found a more effective method: of course, it is not counting sheep, which is completely useless; but to find a way to really relax.

People can't deceive themselves. If you are in a state of tension with important things in your heart, pretending to be relaxed can only deceive others. Need to let go of those things, divert your attention, and focus on easier things...if it's more exhausting to relax, it's easier.

He tossed and turned for a while, then got up and walked to the door of the bedroom, calling out: "Jing Niang, are you asleep?"

Immediately came her clear answer: "No."

Guo Shao said: "Come in."

Jing Niang immediately stood up, walked into Guo Shao's bedroom quickly, and asked in a deep voice: "Master, is there anything else you want to do?"

"Yes, it's very important." Under the dim oil lamp, Guo Shao unscrupulously looked at the important parts of Jingniang, the places he was interested in.

Jing Niang noticed his eyes, and immediately understood, her face flushed: "When is it, do you still have that thought?"

"I'm also interested in the neck of the knife holder." Guo Shao said.

The conversation between the two of them was as usual, low-pitched and serious, probably because Jingniang was not so relaxed and rarely laughed, and Guo Shao was rarely able to tease her in front of her.

But today Guo Shao was a little abnormal, he would not let go of his stare, his face was still nervous, and his mouth was very explicit. He seemed to be talking to himself: "Your breasts are so big, it's really rare that you can stand up without anything."

Jing Niang stared at him and said, "If you say that again, I'll be angry!"

A very ugly smile appeared on Guo Shao's face: "I just like your smell."

Jing Niang didn't speak. Guo Shao grabbed her hand and sat on the edge of the bed. She was still a little shy, but she didn't resist, and her breathing became short of breath instead. Because Guo Shao stretched out his hand to draw the lines of her body, with a serious expression on his face, he praised her. She didn't say anything, but she still enjoyed the praise in her heart.

...

Early the next morning, Jingniang woke up in a daze, and suddenly sat up and opened her eyes. When she looked around, she saw Guo Shao bowing her head in front of a table. After a while, Jing Niang came back to her senses, staring and said: "Master, what are you doing?"

Guo Shao said without turning his head: "I am worshiping God, you get up first, don't disturb me."

I saw half a piece of jade pendant on the table, and there was a piece of cake in front of it, with three sticks of incense stuck in it! Guo Shao's behavior is really weird.

As a person who has been educated in science and materialism for many years in later generations, Guo Shao should be ashamed of his superstition, but he really believes in those mysterious things, not some kind of religion. Because he came to ancient times and made him witness miracles in person! And before, he was skeptical about the gods and profound things... He had a feeling that no matter how powerful a person is, he couldn't help but believe in fate.

He has seen with his own eyes that some people's misfortunes are really one after another, and all kinds of small probability events are greeted by a person for a period of time; Guo Shao has long suspected that it is Fengshui or something that humans do not understand... In fact, he thinks that the science of the era in which later generations live is just that. There are too many things that humans do not understand, and materialism is just one of many philosophical theories.

But now, at the critical juncture of gaining momentum, Guo Shao believes in some unknown things... In fact, most of the current emperors and able ministers also believe in gods.

Recalling, before meeting Fu Jinzhan at Longjin Bridge in Tokyo, Guo Shao spent several years in the Imperial Army without any luck. But since he met Fu Jinzhan, he rose quickly, and many things went very smoothly, unbelievably smoothly.

Over the years, we have encountered many storms, and many key points may go wrong; but Guo Shao has survived those storms. There must be some kind of just-right connection and luck! Guo Shao felt that he couldn't destroy his luck, so that he could survive the difficulties in front of him!

He was chanting words, clasped his hands together and worshiped there, completely disregarding his appearance.

As long as there is a little thing that may increase his success rate, he will believe it, and he would rather believe it than believe it. How can you care about etiquette, go to hell!

He was muttering silently: I want to kill my enemy! Don't let bad luck and helplessness befall me...

At this moment, Guo Shao is also very afraid of death, but what makes him care more is the person he loves and cares about. Even though this is a place thousands of years ago for him, these living people have already lived in his heart.

After fiddling around, he put away the things and opened the door. It was just getting dark.

In the morning, Yang Biao was also called to Li Chuyun's residence, and the three of them had another secret discussion.

But Guo Shao couldn't stay any longer, and made an appointment with Zan Jurun to go out of Beijing this afternoon to "seek pills". In the morning, he asked Li Chuyun to send guards to send them back to the Guo Mansion. Guo Shao made some preparations last night. Of course, they were not preparing things for the trip, but other things.

At noon, Zan Jurun came up to Guo's mansion with a few followers. Guo Shao asked the servants to receive and arrange the followers temporarily, and asked Zan Jurun to talk in the living room.

Zan Jurun asked, "Is General Guo ready?"

Guo Shao said politely: "It's ready, we can set off later."

Zan Jurun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's raining less today, and the road is still relatively muddy, but it feels better on the head."

"I don't know if Mr. Zan has thought about it. The officials are already bedridden and can't even speak clearly. I heard from the eunuch who came from the palace that they have not been able to eat for two days." Guo Shao deliberately made it more serious, "Is it difficult for us to complete the mission by walking 800 miles to Mount Hua in this weather and on this road?"

Zan Jurun's face suddenly changed: "What does General Guo mean?"

Guo Shao waved his hand and said: "Mr. Zan, don't be nervous. I didn't say I was going to kill you soon, and I didn't threaten your whole family in Tokyo... Aren't I reasoning with Mr. Zan?"

Zan Jurun's face turned paler.

Guo Shaodao: "As long as you listen to me, we will still treat each other with courtesy; when the time comes, you can also blame me for holding you hostage. After all, envoy Zan is only an official, and it is easy for me, a military general, to hold you hostage. Do you think what I say makes sense?"

Zan Jurun nodded solemnly: "It makes sense."

After a while, he said solemnly again: "I didn't expect General Guo to be outstanding in martial arts, and he can also be so talented in reasoning. He is really capable of both martial arts. I admire him the most!"

"Where, Mr. Zan's reputation is too high." Guo Shaodao, "You see how reasonable everyone is, and using knives and guns always hurts feelings."

"That's that." Zan Jurun nodded and said, "What orders does General Guo have, just say so. Since it's so reasonable, how dare I disobey it?"

Guo Shao pondered for a moment and said: "This is what I think. Since the search for pills is useless, the imperial decree must be obeyed. We have to go, but we won't go today...how about we go tomorrow?"

"That's it?" Zan Jurun stared.

Guo Shao said: "Yes, that's it. But Mr. Zan has to stay at the mansion today, and we will go out together tomorrow. It is best to write a letter and ask one of your followers to take it to the Hakka Provincial Government Office, and write that after you come to me for inspection, you think there is a problem with the preparation of the road, and you are afraid of accidents. You advise me to arrange the route and itinerary again, and hurry up tomorrow."

"No problem." Zan Jurun said bluntly.

Guo Shao immediately came over with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and asked him to write a letter. Zuo You was also watching from the side.

Guo Shao urged again: "Write it clearly, it is Mr. Zan who decided to go out in the morning."

After Zan Jurun finished writing the letter, he asked Guo Shao and Zuo You to check it repeatedly and fold it into an envelope. Then he asked Zan Jurun to take out the sealed letter and seal it with lacquer;

Then several people watched the entourage take the horse out of the corner gate. As soon as the man left, Zan Jurun and several followers were successively invited into a room inside and locked up.

"If the person who delivered the letter comes back, please come to this room." Guo Shao ordered the people around him, "Tonight the third brother and Lu Chengyong will personally lead the guards to watch here, and take turns to be on duty, so that no mistakes can be made at critical moments. Just make it through tonight."

...

In Zhao's mansion, Kuang Yin and Zhao Pu were also together. Kuang Yin has a few staff members and a group of generals, but apart from official duties, he also does not want too many people to participate, so he mainly discusses with Zhao Pu.

"Why doesn't Guo Shao leave Beijing? Does he want to delay like this?" Kuang Yin frowned.

Zhao Pu said: "Someone is watching quietly, and will send back news when there is news. I don't know what's going on for the time being... But don't worry, my lord, the empress can't be afraid in the Jinxiang Palace, and Guo Shao, a martial artist, can't do anything well! If you are in a hurry, you may mess up and kill a few more people."

Seeing the lord's silence, Zhao Pu said again: "It's come to this point, it will be even worse if you don't take risks. Once the Empress Dowager controls the palace and the Shu, then it will be announced to the world to establish its status. The imperial army and the soldiers and horses in the world can only obey the military order of the Privy Council. Then we will be in trouble."

"Sigh." Kuang Yin sighed, "Unexpectedly, things have turned out like this, and the risk is too great to do it now... But the Empress Talisman is indeed too powerful. After all, the Taizu is the Taizu, and he was really far-sighted back then!"

Zhao Pu said: "But we have no choice!"

Kuang Yin pondered again: "Mobilizing troops is also a difficult problem, it is very difficult to handle, and it is easy to cause problems."

Zhao Pudao: "At this point, we can only push Zhang Yongde up. The lord should go to the Dianqian Division to have an appointment with Zhang Yongde as soon as possible, and it is best to reach an agreement with the Dianqian Division General. Whether it is successful or not, Zhang Yongde will be dressed in a dragon robe and put in the top position. Then the lord will bring the generals and brothers in and call Long Live. Only in this way can we order to mobilize the Dianqian Division's army in name."

Kuang Yin remained silent.

Zhao Pu said anxiously again: "Zhang Yongde is in front of the palace and has a high prestige; coupled with the prestige of the lord and the support of all the generals, this matter is still very likely to happen! But the pre-planning must be completed in advance today, so as not to make mistakes at the last minute."

Kuangyin said: "In general, it is very important to choose the right timing."
