Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The queen mother offered a reward for horse training because she was worried about Guo Shao's safety.

Guo Shao has obviously become a powerful minister with growing wings. He is not only the most senior general in the front of the palace, but also interferes in national policy; at least the two prime ministers, the Privy Councilor and the Political Affairs Hall, are closely related to him. But there was no suspicion between him and the royal family... Not only did the queen mother show no signs of threatening him, but instead she always protected him. This was very rare in the past.

At this moment, Guo Shao asked to try it himself, he said: "I am a martial artist, if I dare not even ride a horse, wouldn't I give up eating because of choking?"

So Guo Shao, with the help of the imperial guards, removed the crown, put on an iron helmet, and a breastplate to protect his vital parts. Everyone looked sideways, looking forward to a good show like a bullfight. This kind of fierce horse will bump desperately to get people off after being ridden on its back.

Guo Shao walked over, and Du Chenggui brought up a horsewhip, but he waved his hand away. The black horse dug the grass, then hid from Guo Shao, it seemed quite human, and knew what Guo Shao was going to do.

Unexpectedly, Guo Shao stepped forward and said to the horse: "You are a rare and good horse, and you are very valuable. Now that you are caught, people will definitely not let you go; even if you let go, many people will want to catch you again."

When Fu Ermei heard Guo Shao's voice, she was already amused, she covered her mouth and laughed so that her shoulders shivered: "Husband thinks horses can understand people's words?"

Guo Shao ignored it, and continued solemnly: "Are you going to be locked up like this and be teased by different people trying to conquer? Or become a mount now, like all tamed war horses, and return to galloping in the wilderness again."

Everyone listened to Guo Shao's nonsense without saying a word.

After Guo Shao finished speaking, he took the reins, touched the horse's mane and said, "Maybe we can be friends." Immediately, he stepped on the stirrup and rolled onto the horse's back vigorously.

Immediately, the black horse raised its front hooves high, neighed, and rushed forward suddenly, like a black lacquered arrow flying away from the string. Fu Jinzhan was taken aback, got up from the couch and stood up.

"Drive!" Inner Palace Commander Du Chenggui hurriedly shouted, and hurried over with a group of cavalry. But the army couldn't even touch the side, and couldn't catch up with the wild horse at all.

Fu Jinzhan looked to the northeast, covered his eyebrows with his palm, looked over, and saw a black spot moving at a very obvious speed on the green grassland, and everyone was in an uproar.

Not long after, the black spot rolled over a grassy slope and disappeared from sight.

Fu Jinzhan clenched the silk handkerchief in his hand, waited for a long time, and finally saw the black spot come back into sight, and gradually moved from far to near. "Boom, boom..." The sound of the horse's hooves became louder and louder, and the black horse finally returned to the palace gate and gradually slowed down.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." Guo Shao's mouth made a sound, and the horse stopped slowly, walking towards this side slowly.

Fu Ermei also shouted in surprise: "It's amazing! Can a horse understand your husband?"

At this moment, Guo Shao rolled over from the horse's back, stroked the horse's shoulder, and praised loudly: "It really is a magic horse!" He led the horse to the front of the screen, turned his head and said excitedly: "I may not understand, but this kind of good horse is very human."

Guo Shao took out a handful of beans from his bosom, stroked the horse's mouth, and looked at it expectantly. The horse sniffed Guo Shao's hand, licked the beans into his mouth and began to chew. Guo Shao was overjoyed when he saw this, he turned his head and said, "Come and change the saddle for it...Second Sister, do you want to try?"

Fu Ermei had fear on her face, hesitated a little, then stood up and ran over briskly.

After a while, Guo Shao carried her on the horse's back, jumped on it himself, shook the reins, and galloped away on the pasture again with great interest. Immediately there was a scream of "Ah...", Second Sister Fu's voice came from the air, and a phoenix floated down. The two rode a black horse and galloped on the pasture.

At this time, the maids brought tea, snacks and fruits and put them on the table. Seeing that the horse was no longer struggling and jolting, Fu Jinzhan felt relieved, so he and the palace servants watched the two horses galloping on the grass.

Gradually, she felt bored, the sun had risen, the bright sunlight was dazzling, and the surrounding area was getting hotter and hotter. But Fu Ermei was still shouting excitedly, and Fu Jinzhan didn't want to affect their interest, so he picked up a teacup to drink tea. There was a light lip mark left on the teacup. In the morning, Fu Jinzhan put on some make-up, and there was rouge on her vermilion lips.

There was tiredness in her eyes, but she still kept smiling and tilted her head slightly. The eunuch Cao Tai immediately reacted and bent over to this side. Fu Jinzhan said: "It's rare to be happy today. I'm preparing a meal in the imperial garden. I will invite General Guo and his family to have a meal later."

"The servants will send someone to prepare immediately," Cao Tai said.

Although the umbrella can cover the sun, it is getting hotter and hotter. Fu Jinzhan is so irritable for some reason. Thinking of appreciating horses yesterday, she really wasn't prepared to receive Fu Ermei and the others, so that now she just saw their couple having fun, and felt dissatisfied.

After a long time, they finally came back. Second Sister Fu was carried off the horse, her body went limp, she sat down on the grass, and retched while pressing her chest. Guo Shao hurriedly supported her and stroked her back: "What's wrong?"

Fu Ermei panted, put her hand on her plump forehead, and said pitifully, "Dizzy, dizzy..."

Guo Shao took off the helmet and held her in his arms, helped her to the couch where Fu Jinzhan was sitting, and carefully let her rest on it. Jinzhan stretched out his hand to take Fu Ermei's hand, and said with a smile: "I'm going to mess around, but I can't bear it, so I'm asking for trouble?" After saying that, he took the teacup and fed it to Fu Ermei's mouth.

Fu Jinzhan glanced at Guo Shao calmly, and he hurriedly helped the second sister over, getting very close. His skin was rough, the sun penetrated from the umbrella cover, even the pores could be seen clearly in the bright light, there was even a small scar on his forehead, and the light beard stretched from the middle to the chin, it could be seen that he had been trimmed... a rough face that was often exposed to the sun and rain. But Fu Jinzhan loves to see this familiar face, the well-proportioned and coordinated shape, rough but looks solid and reliable, and his vigorous and powerful posture reminds Fu Jinzhan of that ferocious horse.

Guo Shao was sweating profusely, and there was a smell of sweat in the breeze. Of course, there was no fragrance, and it even made people feel dirty. But Fu Jinzhan didn't know why, this smell made her very used to it, and she was a little moved.

"Drink some water, are you feeling better?" Guo Shao looked at Fu Ermei with concern. The big rough hand touched her smooth, white and full forehead, and the tendons on the back of the hand were thick and strong.

Second Sister Fu said coquettishly, "Let me rest for a while... it is running too fast!"

At this moment, Guo Shao seemed to come back to his senses, and looked at Fu Jinzhan, and Fu Jinzhan's gaze moved away from his face very keenly. Guo Shao's voice said: "The minister is rude, please forgive me the queen mother."

Fu Jinzhan looked at his firm lips when he was speaking, she lightly pursed her smooth red lips, gently picked up her own cup of tea, put it to her mouth and took a sip. With such trivial movements and a little silence, Guo Shao seemed to have become a little nervous. He took a step back, lowered his head and raised his fists above his head.

"This kind of dog days only cools down for a while in the morning, and it gets hotter and hotter. That's it for today." Fu Jinzhan said without any anger, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I asked Cao Tai to prepare lunch, and I invited my second sister and General Guo to eat in the imperial garden."

Guo Shao said: "Thank you Queen Mother for the banquet."

After Fu Jinzhan finished speaking, she got up, and Concubine Du came up to support her wrist in person, and left Yutao. The court lady also went to help Fu's second younger sister, and took the same car with Fu Jinzhan. Guo Shao led the black horse and rode with him. Li Yuan'er and others rode in the same carriage and entered the palace with a large group of guards of honor.

Deep in the lush garden, a majestic and gorgeous palace came into view. A group of people walked in, and the inside was quiet and elegant, completely different from the environment of the Jinxiang Hall in the front hall. As relatives, Fu Jinzhan took the second sister and his wife to sit and rest in a palace room. The other women were not here because of the difference in status, and their own palace staff arranged for entertainment.

Fu Jinzhan waved his sleeves lightly, and all the attendants retreated. The spacious palace seemed empty, but very quiet. Before noon, the three of them sat in front of a desk and talked.

"I heard that General Guo won a great victory in Shu, and all the soldiers shouted long live?" Fu Jinzhan said softly.

Guo Shao was stunned for a moment, looking around, he seemed to confirm that only the Fu family sisters were here, he hesitated to speak, not knowing how to answer.

Second Sister Fu also looked up, she had stopped playing and said in a trembling voice, "Sister, is this serious?"

Fu Jinzhan said: "Of course, the most serious thing in the world is this."

Guo Shao's relaxed look disappeared, and he was sitting there, and said: "Because of the Queen Mother's trust, the Imperial Army did not need to deploy checks and balances, and the Great Zhou Army was able to quickly free itself from internal friction, concentrate its military power, and immediately achieve the victory of conquering the Kingdom of Shu...The power of the minister was also given by the Queen Mother, otherwise there would be no chance of making meritorious service."

The second sister said: "Does the eldest sister think that the queen mother has great power, or is our sisterhood very important?"

Fu Jinzhan chuckled charmingly, without saying a word. Xindao: What a fool, if only relying on the relative relationship of the marriage, only the brother-in-law, how dare I do that? It is as if imperial power is something that can be given away casually. I have done so much for you, anyway, if you can't leave me, I don't care.

Fu Ermei got up, left Guo Shao and sat next to Jinzhan, and said softly: "Elder sister must trust my husband, he will not have the heart of disobedience, don't I know that I am with him all day long? Didn't you say that the honor and disgrace between us have always been connected together. Don't go through the turmoil of last year again."

"Of course I trust him, can't Second Sister understand what I did?" Jinzhan said kindly.

Only then did Second Sister Fu heave a sigh of relief.

"Come here..." Fu Jinzhan suddenly shouted loudly, and immediately saw Cao Tai appearing in the palace gate. She said: "General Guo is covered in sweat and smells bad, you arrange for him to take a bath and change clothes."

Guo Shao turned his head and sniffed his clothes, and said with a smile, "I can't smell it myself, but the vest is already cold, and I really sweat a lot."

Fu Jinzhan stood up: "When it's noon, please General Guo to accompany me to have dinner." She took the second sister's hand again, stroking the messy hair of the second sister and said softly, "Look at you, come with me, and tidy up for you."
