Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

(For more days, I want to say a few words from my heart to the book friends, mainly guilt, apology, and explanation. △Apex Novels,

I think the worst thing is not to stop the update, but to stop the update without saying a word. This is indeed not to despise the reader, on the contrary, it is mainly an escape that I don't know how to explain. 1. Because I have apologized too many times, I feel like I can't speak when I break the update. 2. In the later stage of the training at Lu Xun Academy of Literature, I went to several places in Henan, traveling back and forth, and the journey home after the end was full of twists and turns, and the friends I met went all the way to receive them at home and so on. I was in an impetuous mood, and I was very dissatisfied after writing a few chapters... Every time I thought, I would apologize when I rewrote a chapter tomorrow and uploaded it. As a result, there was tomorrow, and tomorrow and tomorrow, and it dragged on for several days.

And as I said in the book friend group, many readers don't read "work related" and chapter book reviews, so they can't find a better place to notify when there is no update.

1. In the future, if there is a temporary interruption, I will say in the book review area, and finally update the chapter book review of that chapter. 2. Starting tomorrow, resume the update, at least three times a day, to make up for my mistakes.

Finally, I have to apologize, I am really sorry everyone. Now that I am home, I have no travel arrangements in the near future, and the update will return to normal.

West winds are tight. April 8, 2015)

...

After returning to the Chinese military tent from the riverside, Zhou Xian heard Guo Shao say: "You stay here for now, this is where I used to sleep."

So lonely men and widows living in the same room? Zhou Xian felt ashamed and surprised at first, and asked casually, "Where does General Guo live?"

Guo Shaodao: "I'm just outside here where I'm dealing with official duties. I'll ask the guards to lay out some hay and get blankets and quilts to make do with it. You don't have to be too particular about it when you're marching outside."

Zhou Xian was silent for a while. Thinking about the reason why Guo Shao wanted her to live with him, it might be that he felt that it was not safe to be in a barracks full of men, and her current identity was just a singing girl, so there was nothing wrong with such an arrangement.

However, it is inevitable for a woman to think a lot when encountering such a thing. This seems to be a woman's instinct. She first guessed in her heart whether Guo Shao had "unreasonable thoughts" about her. If she easily agreed to be in the same room with him, there would be no reason for the insult... Who asked you to sleep in the same tent as a woman?

She silently observed Guo Shao's expression, and found that there was something completely different in his eyes from Li Yu and eunuchs in the palace, the eyes of a man with desire; she understood the lust in it, Guo Shao needed himself, even the most primitive desire, but that desire was enough for a woman to become different in his eyes.

The pursuit at this moment is different from the ambition shown by Guo Shao when he was by the river. Under the ambition of territorial expansion, it seems that he will not consider whether Li Yu and the subjects of the Southern Tang Kingdom are willing; but at this time Guo Shao's desire is very forbearing, gentle and cautious, with pity in his eyes.

Zhou Xian's heart throbbed for a while, and she felt a little hot on her face. But soon another thing came to mind: the mission to assassinate Guo Shao. Most of the warmth disappeared in an instant, and Zhou Xian also felt the chill coming from nowhere.

According to the scene when they met, she felt that Guo Shao had already sensed the malice of the envoy sent by the Southern Tang Kingdom, and the greatest danger came from Zhou Xian... Now he let her live together.

Zhou Xian looked sideways slightly, the place where Guo Shao handles official business and the place where he sleeps are separated by a wooden curtain, without hindrance. She could imagine that when he fell asleep outside in the middle of the night, the people inside would have no defense at all against him. Her eyes became quite puzzled, because Guo Shao's mind is actually very meticulous, should he consider this obvious risk?

She was thinking wildly, and neglected to clearly respond to Guo Shao's arrangement. Then I heard Guo Shao say: "That's it, I'm going out now, you rest here."

Zhou Xian nodded, Guo Shao glanced at her, and said gently: "Don't be afraid, no one will come to this tent to threaten you, I'll be back soon."

Such exhortations gave her a faint feeling of being protected, and she blushed slightly at that moment, and responded with an "um".

Guo Shao walked out from the door without looking back. Zhou Xian watched him leave, then walked a few steps in the tent, then stretched out his hand and gently opened the curtain in the middle, and walked in. This was originally the place where Guo Shao lived, and Zhou Xian felt a masculine aura rushing towards his face at the first sight.

That breath is not a smell, but a feeling. Completely different from women's trivial things, this square inch is very simple and tidy. Two simple sets of clothes are stacked on a box. In the side box are toothbrushes, green salt and a towel for washing. There are pillows, quilts and a book on the bed. There is nothing else, no decoration, everything has its purpose.

Zhou Xian stretched out her jade-white fingers, and couldn't help stroking these things lightly. She seemed to see how a man lived. This is a living person, not some symbol of vengeance and removal.

After a long time, she heard Guo Shao's voice outside, and couldn't help but leave the living room and walked to the exit of the tent. In the wet and cold winter, two thick cloths were hung on the door to keep warm, Zhou Xian opened a corner to look out, and saw Guo Shao.

There were a few guards around him, and a large group of soldiers who were setting up a fire and cooking respectfully surrounded him. He was picking up a wooden spoon, scooping up a spoonful of soup from the iron pot on the stone-strewn stove, tasted it with relish, smacked his lips, turned his head and said with a smile: "It's a little salty."

A soldier next to him with a nervous face stammered, "We cooked bacon in it."

Guo Shao smiled and said: "No wonder. It tastes better, but it doesn't matter much. The water needs to be clean, and it's bad for your stomach if you eat it."

A young general nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice: "Hey! Hey!" The people around him laughed again.

Guo Shao looked at the soldier who spoke to him before: "I think you look familiar. It seems that your name is Yao Er? Where is your hometown?"

The soldier hurriedly said: "The little man is in Kaifeng Mansion. I really... I never thought that Marshal Guo would still remember me!" At this time, Guo Shao stretched out his hand to straighten the crooked shoulder scarf on the soldier's neck, patted the soldier on the shoulder and said, "Do it well."

Then he pointed to the distance and talked to a civil servant. Zhou Xian looked in the direction and saw some thatched huts outside the camp. It took him a while to guess that they might be the huts built by the soldiers. Sure enough, I heard the voice of the civil servant coming from afar, "Don't worry, my lord, the generals have been arranged to take care of everything, and they are very careful about disease prevention."

Zhou Xian saw and heard all the little things in the barracks, but the little things touched her a lot, and thought to herself: It is impossible for Li Yu to defeat Guo Shao.

In such a troubled world, Zhou Xian is no stranger to war, but her previous knowledge comes from the words written on paper in memorials, and this time she really felt that war is like this in the barracks. The words and deeds of the general and many small things affect the entire army, not just military orders; the war is carried out by ordinary soldiers. Guo Shao's behavior is to treat the soldiers as human beings, his smile, his tone of voice, and his actions of helping a low-ranking soldier tidy up his clothes all seem so sincere... Zhou Xian thought that if he was a small soldier, he would also be willing to work for a general like Guo Shao.

At this moment, I saw a young woman walking towards the tent; she lowered her head, but immediately attracted Zhou Xian's attention, mainly because there were hardly any women in the army. Zhou Xian also recognized immediately that it was the woman Guo Shaoxuan came to serve her.

Zhou Xian immediately put down the curtain, turned and left the door. Not long after, the woman opened the door curtain and walked in, saw Zhou Xian slightly kneeling and said: "I've seen my lady."

"What's your name?" Zhou Xian asked at this moment. She really didn't know the girl's name before, and she wasn't interested in knowing... Maybe Guo Shao's attitude of talking patiently with a pawn affected her, and she also had a subtle change in her mentality towards a singing girl. People could really interact with each other before, and it was easy.

The woman said timidly: "My family's stage name is Yun Niang."

Zhou Xian didn't ask any further questions, she understood that most women who are singing girls would not easily say their real surname.

Yunniang said again: "There is a general named Lu Chengyong in this battalion who allows my family to enter and leave the Chinese army. Before it is dark, my family will come to collect the dirty clothes that have been changed on the road and wash them by the river outside the camp."

Without thinking too much, Zhou Xian turned around and picked up his package, and gave Yunniang the changed clothes. The two of them said a few more words and asked each other about their respective situations. It is very inconvenient for women to bathe in this kind of place, and the weather is cold, but Zhou Xian likes to be clean, so he often changes clothes.

...The camps of tens of thousands of troops are not crowded together, otherwise it would be inconvenient to fetch water, discharge sewage, and choose places. The area of ​​the Chinese army's camp was not large, and Yun Niang soon left the gate of the camp, and there was a small river outside. It was almost dusk at this time, and Yun Niang hurried to work quickly, the river was cold, it was really not a pleasant job.

At this moment, another woman also came to the river with a wooden basin, and went straight to the stone next to Yunniang to wash her clothes. Yunniang turned her head to look, and recognized that it was a singing girl who was sent together, but she didn't know her name.

Some of the group of singing girls who were sent here already knew each other, but there were also some unfamiliar faces. However, everyone was sent to the enemy camp on this trip, their future was uncertain, they were depressed and afraid, and they were not in the mood to talk along the way. Yun Niang did not know the name of the woman next to her;

The woman was absent-minded about washing clothes, as if she was just putting on a show, she looked back behind her.

Yun Niang was curious, thinking that someone was coming behind her, so she also took a look. Not far away, there was an old soldier pacing along the river with a blank face, as if he was a sentry soldier... It seemed that he came here to watch the laundry women for fear of them escaping;

The woman next to her opened her mouth and said in a low voice, "Where is the person you serve? Do you want to serve Zhou Jun's coach Guo Shao?"

Yun Niang glanced at her in bewilderment, shook her head and said, "I don't know if she will sleep in, she is arranged to live in Marshal Guo's tent."

The woman had a happy expression on her face, looked back again, quickly handed over a ball of handkerchief, and said: "Put it away, put it in your underwear. I saw the lady you are serving, and give her the handkerchief."

Yunniang didn't know what it was, but she became inexplicably afraid. The woman couldn't help but stuffed it into her hand, suppressed her surprise expression, and said coldly: "If you are found by Zhou Junwufu, everyone related to it will die, and you can't escape! You'd better do as I say."

Yun Niang tremblingly said: "I don't know anything, you take the things back, I will never report you..."

The woman said: "I can't help you, because you are by that lady's side, and only through you can I have a chance. If you don't do it, you can't get rid of it, hmph!"
