Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The morning sun shines on the carved window lattices, and the grand and majestic palace music seems to praise the supreme and lofty artistic conception. Under the gaze of countless gazes, the former monarch Meng Chang knelt down on the carpet of the spacious hall, prostrated himself on the ground, and kowtowed again and again, "I am guilty of death, but I have to kneel down and beg the Queen Mother for forgiveness..."

"The empress dowager bestows favor on Meng Chang, Duke of Qin." An eunuch's voice sounded long and drawn out.

... After a long time, in a bright and clean palace room, Fu Jinzhan paced slowly among the office rooms, holding a stack of letters in her hand to read carefully, and she didn't care if her long skirt was dragging on the floor. From time to time, she covered her mouth and smiled lightly, and from time to time she had a coquettish look.

At this time, Guo Shao, who was wearing a military uniform, entered the room, clasped his fists and said: "I pay homage to the Queen Mother."

On Fu Jinzhan's white and jade-like face, a pair of crooked eyes suddenly smiled, turned around and said, "Isn't Qin Guogong (Meng Chang) very obedient?"

"The empress dowager has the right way." Guo Shao straightened his waist and said with a smile.

Fu Jinzhan sat down gracefully on the upholstered chair, gently brushed off his long sleeves, and said, "If he was still in the Kingdom of Shu, he wouldn't be so respectful and plead guilty. He has to be captured in Tokyo first to find a solution...Speaking of which, his father, Meng Zhixiang, established a foundation and can be called a hero in troubled times.

"What the queen mother said is very true. No matter what, Meng Chang has been a monarch for many years after all." Guo Shaodao, "I am so happy to see him kneeling at the feet of the queen mother for such a high-ranking person."

"Oh?" Fu Jinzhan smiled and looked at Guo Shao's face with great interest.

Guo Shao said in a low voice: "I just want to see Jinzhan go my way and like to see you smile." His voice gradually became deeper and deeper, as if he was pouring out, "I'm also thinking about what a woman like Jinzhan wants... a noble status, a good environment, to feel safe, not to be afraid, and someone who can't help pampering you from the bottom of my heart. The greatest satisfaction I get from everything I do is seeing Jinzhan showing such a charming smile..."

Fu Jinzhan listened intently, although his expression remained dignified, his face became more and more red, his eyes flickered, and his chest heaved slightly. She was wearing a loose dress, but it was very thin in midsummer, and the soft material hung down from her high chest, trembling slightly with her breathing. The skirt that was too soft was also attached to her legs, and the tight |legs couldn't hide the outline of her legs. When she was sitting, she seemed to be wearing pants.

"General Guo, come here, I have something to tell you." Fu Jinzhan spoke in a gentle voice, speaking very naturally, as if he was trying to maintain his current demeanor.

Guo Shao took a few steps forward and listened to him.

Fu Jinzhan bowed, and said softly in a suppressed voice: "I want you now, right away."

...

Just after noon, Guo Shao walked out of the imperial city and got into a carriage, feeling very tired. The unrestrained indulgence at home last night is not as short as an hour this morning.

"Brother, it's only noon, where are we going?" Luo Mengzi asked in his voice.

Guo Shao is not willing to think about what to do, he is addicted to the current relaxation. As soon as I returned to Tokyo, I naturally didn't need to ask about business, even the ordinary soldiers were rested. But Luo Mengzi's voice reminded Guo Shao...Lu Xiaoniang came to Tokyo from Kuizhou, and it was Luo Mengzi who led the escort.

Maybe at some point, for example, when he was sick and was taken care of by Xiaoniang Lu, Guo Shao liked this little lady quite a lot; but now thinking of her, Guo Shao is really only thinking about her traveling thousands of miles to treat Wang Pu's illness, because now Guo Shao's senses are close to those of a saint.

"Third brother, get in the carriage, I have something to ask you." Guo Shao said.

The carriage stopped by the side of the street. When Luo Mengzi got on the carriage, he was so fat and strong that he squeezed a piece of the carved wood of the carriage door. Guo Shao didn't care, and said: "Go to Lu Xiaoniang, you can show the groom the way. Where is she now?"

Luo Mengzi said: "Live in the inn."

Guo Shao frowned and said, "She cured the Privy Councilor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Wang Pu's life is very important. Why is she treated so badly?"

"Wang Pu's youngest...the Privy Councilor wants to let Lu Xiaoniang live in the mansion, but she is not willing." Luo Mengzi said, "I invited her to live with 'Tofu Xishi' at my house. I'm afraid I don't know what she said, she lives in my house. Fuck! Will my old Luo still touch the eldest brother's woman?"

"She's not my woman." Guo Shao said, stretched out his hand to touch his body, and asked, "Does the third brother have any money?"

Luo Mengzi took out a dozen copper coins. Guo Shao said unhappily: "Just for that, didn't I reward you a lot of money?"

Luo Mengzi said helplessly: "Tofu Xishi took all the money, she said she was afraid that I would go whoring in brothels."

"I convinced you." Guo Shao shook his head.

After walking for a long time, the carriage stopped at an inn. Guo Shao followed Luo Mengzi and walked in. At a glance, he recognized two swaying men in the corridor as his personal soldiers. He couldn't help praising: "The third brother is more and more reliable in doing things... By the way, when you want to spend money, come to me."

... Lu Lan opened the door, and saw a group of armored warriors standing at the door, but she was not afraid, as she had already seen Guo Shao in the crack of the door. However, Lu Lan is relatively petite. Standing in front of Guo Shao, she had to raise her head to see his face, and she still felt a little stressed.

"Come in and talk, don't close the door," she said.

In fact, when the imperial army returned to Beijing yesterday, she went to the side of the road to see Guo Shao, thinking that he would come to find her that day, but she didn't want to say anything. Taking a look at his tired face, it is estimated that he will be busy after returning to Beijing.

Guo Shao clasped his fists and said, "I have to thank Mrs. Lu for helping me. Even the imperial doctor can't help Wang Shijun's illness. I admire him!"

At this time, it was a not very high-end inn, the paint on the chairs was faded, and there was still dirt in the wood cracks. However, Lu Lan has never lived in any expensive place, and the inns in Tokyo are relatively quiet, so she thinks it is not bad.

"General Guo, please sit down." Lu Lan poured him tea. There was a gap in the cup, but it didn't affect the filling. She felt that this was polite enough, and she always treated people like this.

However, when Guo Shao came, Lu Lan was relieved a lot. These days, she is very uncomfortable living alone in this unfamiliar foreign country, and she doesn't want to stay here anymore.

She also sat down on the chair next to the tea table, "General Guo, you don't need to thank me, did Auntie find that person?"

Guo Shao hurriedly said: "I found it. My name is Li Liangyou. He is now Wang Zhaoyuan's son-in-law. Li Liangyou reunited with your third aunt and let Wang Zhaoyuan's daughter be a concubine. Now the family is reunited in Chengdu."

Hearing this, Lu Lan said softly, "I don't think that Li Liangyou can be trusted, but Aunt San is determined to find him, and she can finally untie her knot... that's fine."

But for a moment Lu Lan immediately thought: Then where should I go? Father has passed away, so the Bai family only has the closest relationship with the third aunt, and they can't live with the third aunt at Li Liangyou's house... Only go back to Wushan, the Bai family is actually relatives of the uncle's family.

She glanced at Guo Shao, held a breath of inexplicable anger in her heart, and said, "My business is done. If you have no relatives or reasons in Tokyo, you can send someone to take me back."

Guo Shao pondered for a moment, then took a sip from his teacup. This cold scene gradually became a bit embarrassing.

After a while, Guo Shao said cautiously: "When I was in Zhuozhou, the Lu family once entertained me, and I can be regarded as an old acquaintance with Dr. Lu. Mrs. Lu has no place to stay in Tokyo now. I can entertain you according to the situation and reason. Why don't you come to my house for a while, which is considered a courtesy."

Lu Lan said softly: "What does that sound like? My third aunt used to go to Chengdu Mansion and had no place to stay. She lived in someone else's house for a few days, and she was accused of stealing people. People's words are scary."

"My house is not too small. There are many houses and many people live there." Guo Shaodao, "There is a special place for guests to live in. You and Jing Niang are both women, so why gossip?"

Lu Lan said: "You and I are neither related nor related..." She said stubbornly, "I will not be someone else's concubine! General Guo can't force me if there is a clear distinction between grievances and grievances."

Guo Shaodao: "I want to force you, why is it so troublesome?"

Lu Lan was speechless to refute.

Guo Shao leaned forward, and said in a low voice: "Ms. Lu is not related to you in Tokyo, and no one knows you. Who are you afraid of gossiping?"

Lu Lan was tempted immediately, lowered her head and whispered, "Then it's fine to stay at General Guo's house for a few days..."

Guo Shao stood up and said, "Let's go then."

Lu Lan said: "You wait for me first, I will pack up some things."

Guo Shao went out first and waited. It took a long time for Lu Lan to pack a big bag and take it out, which contained books, a change of clothes and daily expenses. Guo Shao didn't break up and snatched the past, he carried it himself and left. He explained to the warrior next to him, and the man turned around and left first.

After going out, he asked Lu Lan to get into the carriage. Lu Lan hesitated for a moment, bent down and walked up. All of a sudden, time seems to have flowed back to Zhuozhou, and the man on the side of the road invited him to get into the carriage, and everything seemed familiar.

Guo Shao sat opposite, Lu Lan lowered her head and said nothing, looking a little reserved. Her mind went blank and she didn't know what to do in the future.

The two of them had nothing to say all the way, and Guo Shao would say gossip from time to time, but Lu Lan ignored it. The voices outside gradually became noisy, and she gently opened the curtain to take a look, only to see that there were cars and horses on the street like a dragon and people were weaving, and she had already reached the busiest downtown.

The carriage stopped, and Guo Shao got off first. He didn't touch Lu Lan with a single finger, which was very polite. This reassured Lu Lan a lot. She also got out of the car and looked around, only to see a shop in front of her. The plaque on it said: Shen Chen Li Weaving.

"Why did General Guo bring me here?" Lu Lan asked suspiciously.

Guo Shao took a look at the coarse linen dress and wooden hairpin on her body, and said, "I didn't bring any money with me today, so I asked a sister to change your outfit for you, as part of your fee for visiting the doctor."

Lu Lan said: "The Wang family gave the money."

"It's not enough for you to walk more than a thousand miles." Guo Shao refused to say anything and went inside first.

Lu Lan didn't know the way here, so he had to follow him.
