Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Guo Shao has forgotten how long Lu Lan moved to the palace, anyway, he has never been here, and when he met Lu Lan, he always summoned her. But this time, Guo Shao took the initiative to meet her when he heard that she had returned to the palace. .

In fact, it's not far away. Lu Lan's residence is right next to the Long Live Hall. The distance is not the distance, but whether he is willing to go.

Outside the gate of the courtyard, Guo Shao saw the lush plants inside. He asked his followers to stay and walked in alone.

When Guo Shao walked into the hall, he saw Lu Lan. Her voice was a little anxious: "I didn't expect His Majesty to come." This was the first sentence Guo Shao heard her say today. He was used to polite greetings, so he couldn't help but smile.

Then he pointed to the white flowers dotted on the green potted shelf: "What kind of flower is this?"

"Qiangwei." After Lu Lan finished speaking, she suddenly became dazed, put her hands on her waist, slightly bent her knees, and said, "I have met Your Majesty before, so I am very polite."

Guo Shao glanced at her, smiled, sat down in front of the desk, and said, "It turned out to be a rose, isn't it a red flower as I remember?"

Lu Lan said softly: "There are red ones, and there are white ones. But I like white roses more, with light red in the white. They are not as hot as red flowers, as if something is quietly and slowly sprouting."

Guo Shao was thoughtful when he heard these words, and when he turned to look at Lu Lan's face, he found that her eyes were flickering.

She looks a bit petite, but she is healthy and juicy. According to the aesthetics of the modern awl face and narrow face, Lu Lan is not beautiful, but Guo Shao has been in ancient times for a long time, and he has gradually adapted to the standard that the ancients liked round oval faces. Under Lu Lan's blue hair, the healthy and energetic plump skin reminds people of green mountains and green waters, without the slightest air of dust.

She should be less than twenty years old, at least in Guo Shao's heart, this kind of girl is very young. Her experience is not rich, she has not experienced many helpless realities, she will not have a kind of tiredness in her bones, and she still has strong expectations and longings for various things. But the gap is usually found with the passage of time, such as Li Yuaner.

Guo Shao asked: "Is Lu Xiaoniang still used to being in the palace?"

Lu Lan smiled: "Basic food, housing and transportation are the best. People speak softly and politely, and everything is clean, which is good."

When Guo Shao heard her describe court life in this way, the words still retained the spicy taste of the mountains, he couldn't help but find it very interesting, and smiled, imitating her and saying: "But there are many rules here, you are not allowed to do this, you are not allowed to do that, you can't run around, let alone go out at will, it may be a bit boring."

Lu Lan turned her head to look at the plants, and said, "I don't feel bored now, those flowers and plants are also growing quietly, and I feel very peaceful looking at them."

Guo Shao pondered: "Flowers and plants are indeed very good. I don't like things that are too impetuous. In fact, even the most beautiful flowers, there are times when no one appreciates them and they have to endure loneliness."

Lu Lan smiled and said, "Your Majesty's words are always so interesting."

Guo Shaodao: "It still depends on whom to tell."

He was silent for a moment, and then said: "The courtyard you lived in, the former Guo Mansion, I want to give to Mrs. Lu... and the farm on the outskirts of Tokyo under the name of Guo Mansion."

"Why?" Lu Lan asked in surprise.

Guo Shao said: "I want to repay you."

Lu Lan shook her head and said very simply, "I don't want it."

Guo Shao frowned and said, "Ms. Lu thinks this reward is too little?" Compared with his status as a wealthy man, a courtyard is indeed a little thin.

"How can I feel too little for what I can't earn in ten lifetimes?" Lu Lan's eyes stayed on Guo Shao's face, then lowered her head and said softly, "If you really want to repay, you don't have to."

Guo Shaodao: "What does Mrs. Lu want?"

Usually at such times, if the woman who came from the wind and dust, what she may want is to have money to spend, spend whatever she wants. But if this is the case, it will not be too much pressure for Guo Shao.

However, Lu Lan looked a little angry for no reason, the corners of her mouth turned up, and her tone was not so gentle: "I don't need food or clothes, I don't want anything!"

Guo Shao didn't make a sound, but he wasn't stupid. At this moment, he said: "Then keep the account first, and if you change your mind after a while, I will repay you. It's just that some things are hard to go back on."

Lu Lan didn't know whether she was amused, or what, at this moment she raised her head and looked directly at Guo Shao, with an interesting smile on her face.

She joked: "Okay, then His Majesty owes me a favor."

Guo Shao suddenly nodded.

...

But I didn't expect that this "favor" didn't take too long.

Within two days, while Guo Shao was still working in the Jinxiang Palace, he heard the eunuch Wang Zhong report that Mrs. Lu had something to ask for.

Guo Shao immediately put down the brush in his hand, got up and went to Yangde Hall, sat down on the soft couch, and said, "Invite Mrs. Lu here to see me."

His attitude is very positive. Although he never said any words of gratitude to Mrs. Lu, he knew in his heart how much Mrs. Lu had helped him in saving Wang Pu and solving the miasma and plague in Cao Bin's camp.

What's more, Lu Lan has taken care of him many times when he was sick, and he has been very kind to Guo Shao.

I will treat anyone who treats me well... Guo Shao has some ideas, which have not changed due to the struggle and the change of power status.

At this time, Lu Lan walked in, and Guo Shao looked at her anxiously, which was very different from the quiet and indifferent when he saw her that day.

"Your Majesty..." Lu Lan called out as soon as she stepped forward, skipping even the etiquette.

Guo Shaodao: "Sit down first and talk slowly, don't worry, I will help you do anything you want me to do."

Lu Lan hurriedly asked, "Really?"

Guo Shao said calmly: "I have a golden mouth, and what I say counts."

There are still things that the emperor can't do in this world... It's nothing more than life, old age, sickness and death, which are helpless for ordinary people, but Lu Lan will not ask for such things.

Lu Lan was overjoyed immediately, her eyes filled with tears, and she choked up and said, "I heard that my mother is with Xiao Siwen, the king of the South Court of Liao Kingdom..."

Guo Shao: "..."

Lu Lan said: "Your Majesty, help me find my mother!"

Guo Shao was so speechless that he couldn't guarantee it... Xiao Siwen didn't listen to the emperor's decree, even if he was the emperor, what could he do with him?

Sure enough, you can't talk too much! Guo Shao's tone was not as firm as before, and he pondered: "I think about it..." He wanted to say that he would do his best, but he changed his words just a while ago, and it was difficult to say it.

Lu Lan said: "I have never asked His Majesty for anything, but this time is different. Mother is my only relative in this world. Your Majesty is the most powerful man in the world. He will definitely help me with this matter. I will do my best to repay you from now on."

"I'm definitely willing to help Mrs. Lu, you should also believe that." Guo Shao frowned, "It is reported that Xiao Siwen is no longer the king of the South Courtyard, and now he is in Shangjing..."

He immediately felt that this matter was very difficult. For a person of Xiao Siwen's level, it would be very difficult to send someone to abduct his concubine from his house; besides, in Shangjing, even if he managed to escape from Xiao's mansion, it would be impossible to cross the border of Liao Kingdom without being arrested.

Negotiating a deal? It's not easy to operate, and if you don't do it well, it will be self-defeating... If there are fewer benefits, people like Xiao Siwen will look down on them; if there are more benefits, a concubine is not worth it, Xiao Siwen may become suspicious, and maybe he wants to use Lu Lan's mother to blackmail Da Zhou, and put Lu Lan's mother in danger instead.

Lu Lan's eagerly awaited voice said, "Your Majesty, is there a way?"

Guo Shao glanced at her, feeling worried. But if it is something that can be done easily, how can we talk about repaying her?

He had already agreed before, and immediately said: "If there is a way, I will bring Lingtang back."

Lu Lan's mood was very agitated and unstable today. She burst into tears and laughed, and said with tears in her eyes, "I thought my mother was no longer alive, but I didn't expect to see her again... I know that nothing can trouble Your Majesty!"

Guo Shao said helplessly: "But you can't be in a hurry, this matter may be a bit troublesome."

"Yeah." Lu Lan looked at him eagerly. She wiped away her tears. She was a nice, optimistic and pungent little girl, looking at herself with aggrieved face. For the sake of filial piety and affection, Guo Shao wished to help her right away.

Guo Shao comforted him with kind words: "Now that I know that the old man is still alive, even if we can't see each other right away, it's still a good thing. Lady Lu thinks about it. At least she shouldn't have suffered much..."

Lu Lan couldn't stop nodding, but said again: "Khitan people are very bad, pity my mother."

Guo Shao said a few more good words and then stood up. Seeing this, Lu Lan was very grateful and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty has something important to do, so I won't stay as a concubine."

Guo Shao glanced at Wang Zhong and asked the eunuch Wang Zhong to send Lu Lan away.

He paced back and forth in the hall for a few steps, thinking: It would be very difficult to rescue them from Shangjing. It is said that the Han and Khitan people in Shangjing do not live in the same place; it is not easy to send a few eyeliners to Shangjing in the past two years, not to mention getting in touch with Khitan nobles like Xiao Siwen.

If Xiao Siwen was in Youzhou, there would be a little hope. At least Youzhou is not far from the Central Plains.

The Zhou army made another northern expedition, and the Liao Dynasty sent Xiao Siwen to Youzhou? It is very possible that the ancients still liked to use experienced people. Xiao Siwen fought with the Zhou army many times and was very familiar with the tactics of the Han army.

Lu Lan really posed a big problem for Guo Shao. It seems that this matter can only wait until the Northern Expedition to see if Xiao Siwen goes south. In Shangjing, even if you want to know where Xiao Siwen lives, it is very difficult. Han'er can't get into Beicheng at all, so he has nowhere to start.

... The Northern Expedition, the Northern Expedition, Guo Shao's mood gradually became heavy. He walked to the map, pondering the familiar graphics on it left and right.

According to Guo Shao's personal knowledge, women from two families were robbed by the Khitan people. I don't know how many there are; moreover, there will still be threats in the future, and I don't know how many Dazhou people will be robbed and harmed!

Maybe he won't be able to fight in the future, and he may be forced to give money to a woman to call him a Khitan father!

Guo Shao didn't come up in one breath, he slapped the picture with his palm, and his face turned blue. \u003c
