Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The night is so quiet, the night is as gentle as water. In late autumn, the warmth in the quilt contrasts with the cold air outside, and the warmth is even worse, making people greedy and not wanting to come out.

Zhou Xian lay motionless, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time, next to her husband Li Yu. Li Yu was more clearly awake, because he tossed and turned, tossed and turned countless times, kept tossing there, and sighed softly from time to time.

Zhou Xian sympathized with Li Yu's inner fear... But she was not so panicked, because she knew that she was talking to lie to him.

Zhou Xian was full of sympathy and wanted to tell him the truth. However, if you told him that the deportation to the palace was a lie, he would investigate why he lied to him... everything will be over! That's the only way to go, silently and helplessly looking at him with fear and sadness.

The warmth in the quilt made Zhou Xian feel as if someone was holding her, but the quilt was too light, and that feeling was not enough. It's like a goose feather is sweeping and sweeping all over my body, I just don't enjoy myself, I really want to be embraced warmly and indulgently.

Various scenes and feelings emerged in his mind again, Zhou Xian pursed his red lips, his eyelashes trembling slightly in the night.

With a "crack", Li Yu turned over again, immediately interrupting Zhou Xian's reverie. She immediately blamed herself: Husband was scared to death by the side, thinking about completely different big things; but she was thinking about other things, didn't she share with him at all...

But she couldn't help but think that she had just come into contact with a completely different world, a completely different experience from what everyone told her before and her own experience. By chance, she even began to question, who is better, Li Yu or Guo Shao?

Maybe there is no comparison between who is good and who is bad... Zhou Xian thought of it, Guo Shaoxin has his own, and he just feels pity for himself. Zhou Xian has always thought that she is the most beautiful and the only one who respects all the beauties in the world. She is lofty and aloof. She thought to herself: Do you want me to put down my figure to compete for favor? No, absolutely not. All men should fall for me, not fight for me.

No matter how Li Yu is quite a talented nobleman, and all of his belongings belong to Zhou Xian. Zhou Xian is absolutely unwilling to lose him... Besides, how can he be worthy of him, the vow that they made to each other forever?

Zhou Xian couldn't find himself in his heart, and couldn't get rid of the chaos. Right and wrong, right and wrong seem to be all mixed together. It's so uncomfortable, if there are only two people in the world, and there are no other disturbances, it will be simple and clean!

The only way is to forget him! As if there had never been Guo Shao, leave him far away, let him gradually go away and disappear in the passing of time... Zhou Xian feels melancholy, and the only way to relieve his troubles is to force himself. Then what happened this afternoon was indeed a mistake! If Zhou Xian had persisted and endured the past at that time, he would not have made a deeper impression.

... At this moment, Li Yu turned over and called softly: "Ehuang."

Zhou Xian hesitated for a moment, then gave a soft "um", and said every word in a gentle manner with two tones.

Li Yu hesitated to speak, hesitated for a long time, and then said with difficulty: "I have been thinking about it for a long time. There is no problem with what the Queen Mother of the Zhou Dynasty said. They are not related to us, and they are greedy. Of course, they will covet Li Hongji's conditions... No matter how generous the reward we promise, it is indeed a picture."

Zhou Xian remembered the night he was at Chen Jiali's house, why would he offer to make a deal if he had no other choice? She had thought about it a long time ago, and immediately said: "What your husband said is very true."

Li Yu said: "Would it be...or should I ask Chen Jiali to ask Guo Shao to come to the house, you..."

"What!" Zhou Xian almost sat up in shock, "What's your husband's intention? You can't do this!"

Li Yu hurriedly said: "Don't be impatient, Ehuang, listen to me. You just dance..."

"Husband, are you coaxing me like a three-year-old child? Then who is Guo Shao? If I take the initiative to perform a dance and want to impress him, do you think he will let me go?" Zhou Xian said angrily, "You all forced me... Li Hongji too, I shouldn't have been born like this when I was born. What have I become now, a piece of gold and jade that was given away for fun?"

Li Yu said: "In troubled times, there is indeed a lot of helplessness. We have to weigh the pros and cons. Maybe we can't bear ourselves, and the end is even worse..."

"Husband, have you changed your mind?" Zhou Xian turned around and asked tremblingly.

Li Yu immediately said straightly: "How can I change my mind! It's just to discuss with you, if you don't agree, that's all."

"I don't agree!" Zhou Xian said angrily, but he felt like "the villain sued first", he had already done wrong to his husband, and he wanted to put the blame on him, so he couldn't help but soften his tone, "Don't think about it, my husband, even if I sell myself, it's useless now. Just wait."

As soon as Zhou Xian's tone softened, Li Yu became a little angry instead: "There is no other way out, and if Ehuang is wronged for one night, it may cost our lives... Otherwise, we may have to bear the wronged in the end, and we will not be able to keep the big things..."

"But if Guo Shao takes a fancy to him, aren't you afraid that he will take me by force?" Zhou Xian almost cried.

Li Yu said: "This is a problem... I can still grit my teeth and hold on if you only suffer once; if I lose you, the gain will not be worth the loss, and I can't bear it."

Zhou Xian hugged his arm sideways and said, "Husband, I... oh!"

Li Yu said sadly: "I have always been uneasy, and I always feel that you will leave me. Because I can't even give you..."

Zhou Xian felt his worry immediately, and couldn't help but said: "Husband, there are actually other ways..." Li Yu hurriedly asked: "What way?"

Zhou Xian gently placed his onion-like fingers on his face, and caressed his lips with his thumb, his face suddenly became hot. But she didn't dare to say that after being with Li Yu for two years, she still knows Li Yu better... Although he is a literati, he has a high spirit, and it is impossible to do that kind of shameful thing. It seemed that Zhou Xian's shameful and indignant cursing sounded in his ears: whore! I didn't expect you to be like that, I was so blind!

"It's just another way, more than one way." Zhou Xian's voice was trembling, his words were evasive, his face flushed red, and he exhaled like blue. Fortunately, the light was very dark. In the darkness, he seemed to see the bronzed face, the straight bridge of the nose, and feel the rough beard that stings his hands.

Fortunately, Li Yu didn't get angry, and pondered: "There are indeed a lot of obscene objects in the world, and there are also in the palace. Some of them are exquisitely carved with jewelry and jade, which is indeed very rare... But doesn't Ehuang hate such low-level things?"

"Of course I hate it, I feel nauseous!" Zhou Xian panicked, "I... I just heard that my husband is concerned about gains and losses, and I remind you that what a woman needs is not necessarily that dirty thing, and you don't have to worry about it at all. You can also take care of one from your brother's house, and I will treat it as if you were your own... The Taizu of the Zhou Dynasty didn't have a son alive, and the adopted son had no blood relationship with him.

After hearing this, Li Yu was relieved, and suddenly asked again: "Did you enter the palace today, have you committed yourself to Guo Shao behind my back!?"

"Husband..." Zhou Xian was so startled by the sudden questioning that he lost all sleepiness.

Li Yu said: "I was very strange when I saw you before. Why is your face tired, tired but smoother and rosier? The smell is also a bit strange. But because I didn't find any real evidence, I can't make a conclusion. I tried it just now, and I even speculated. You have lost your body, so you feel that there is no need to meet Guo Shao again..."

Zhou Xian was terrified, and shook his head quickly: "I didn't hide it from my husband, it's all because of your wild imagination! Really not, not at all."

Li Yu was silent.

Zhou Xian tremblingly said again: "Why don't I listen to my husband..." Li Yu said coldly: "What if Guo Shao wants to force you to stay?" Zhou Xian said helplessly: "I will force you with death, and I will try to persuade you with good intentions such as the friendship between the two countries."

Li Yu sighed suddenly, and said in a slow tone: "Ehuang, I was wrong just now... I was talking nonsense when I couldn't think of a way out for a while, and I was really worried. I actually... care about you very much, you are more important than everyone else. "

"Husband, I believe in you." Zhou Xian choked up and said, "You and I are not a couple for a day or two, how do you treat me and what do you mean, I don't know?"

...

The next day was a sunny and crisp autumn day.

Guo Shao went to the two battalions on the left side of the Hujie Army. Instead of going to the Guards' Office, he went to the Privy Council to ask Wei Renpu for help, and asked him to read some of the rosters of the forbidden army. Ordinary generals do not have such authority, but Guo Shao does not abide by the rules. He not only read the files, but also took notes in a notebook. From time to time, Wang Pu quietly came over to see what he was writing, but he didn't stop him.

At the time of You, Guo Shaocai quietly left the Privy Council, walked around Donghuamen, and left the imperial city with his entourage.

As soon as I got home, I was told by Lu Chengyong: "Aunt Sun from Mrs. Chen's house came in the afternoon and left a letter, telling me to hand it to the lord. Then Aunt Sun recognizes me. The last time we went to Mrs. Chen with the lord to change clothes and visited General Li Chuyun's house at night, Aunt Sun remembered it."

Guo Shao opened the letter and took a look. Chen Jiali specially set up a dinner and choreographed a new dance, and invited Guo Shao to watch it.

Guo Shao pondered for a while, thinking of Chen Jiali's wonderful dance, he was immediately excited. He left a note to Yulian, ordering to prepare carriages and horses to go to Chen Jiali's house; the family does not keep singing and dancing prostitutes, but being able to watch wonderful singing and dancing is really a rare pleasure in this era of lack of entertainment.

This time he didn't call Jing Niang, unexpectedly Jing Niang followed him into the carriage without his consent. Guo Shao had no choice but to let him go.

"Chen Jiali's house is just a den of prostitution!" Jing Niang was displeased, "She still pretends to be clean and self-sufficient. She is so noble. There are really everyone in the world."

Guo Shao whispered: "Just to watch the dance, why don't you go to bed tonight?"

"I'm not that slutty, you can go to whomever you want!" Jing Niang said with a blushing face.

The carriage traveled for a while from the east to the west of the city, and when it arrived at Chen Jiali's mansion, the sun had already set, and lanterns were lit up everywhere on the street.
