Chapter 390: Reminder
Guo Wenqing was stunned, but he didn't expect the emperor to be so generous, and he was willing to let her participate in this kind of competition? But think about it, she and the emperor had an unusual relationship in the past, and the two of them were about to drip out of their ambiguity, and later entered the palace, his father thought that the emperor would accept her into the harem, and the concubine or even the queen, but after waiting for several months, there was no letter at all. I don't know what happened?
My father was bent on letting the Guo family have an imperial concubine, otherwise he would not have wanted to send his sister Guo Wanyun to the palace, but now that Guo Wenying's matter is about to be lost, can he not be in a hurry? Several times people asked people to inquire in the palace, but they only said that the emperor was different from others about Guo Wenying, but he couldn't find anything else.
Sometimes my father would sigh when he was alone at home, afraid that the Guo family would not be blessed to marry the royal family. Recently, the Guo family has been quite unhappy, the daughters of the Guo family, Guo Xiuzhi's marriage has failed, and Guo Wanyun has failed to find a good family several times. Since the last time the Guo family was in a uproar, it has had a great impact on the reputation of the Guo family, and many families are reluctant to discuss marriage with the Guo family. Speaking of which, it is all to blame on his uncle Guo Yixian, who publicized that Guo Wenying was not the daughter of the Guo family outside, and went back on his word, coupled with Fu Ying's incident, the Yongding Marquis Mansion faced various pressures for a while. The associated Dingguo Mansion was also implicated, and excerpts from the imperial history of the DPRK and China abounded.
The emperor's attitude towards this matter was also very obscure, and most of the excerpts were left behind, but Guo Yiqian, the Duke of Dingguo, and Guo Yixian, the Marquis of Yongding, thought about it at home, and stopped some of the Guo family's errands. Guo Wenyun was removed from his post in the Ministry of War, that is, he was still barely supporting the Guo family's courtyard and running outside.
The Guo family has become like this, no wonder his father will think of finding all from Guo Wenying, if she can serve the emperor, the Guo family will definitely be favored for a lifetime.
Guo Wenqing is also a little anxious about his father and uncle these days, and he also wanted to go over and beg Guo Wenying to let her say something in front of the emperor, but he hesitated and didn't want to go. In the final analysis, it was his uncle Guo Yixian who did his own thing, and his good daughter was not raised, but he found fault in various ways, and now he found out the mess, and he also affected his father.
He is a clear-eyed person, and he can see at a glance that most of the emperor is to make Guo Wenying angry, so that his father and uncle have thought about it behind closed doors. Because of this, he didn't dare to look for Guo Wenying, but he didn't expect to see her here today.
Seeing Guo Wenqing, Guo Wenying was also a little happy in her heart, if the Guo family still has a few good people, Guo Wenqing should be regarded as one. At least he is not as philistine as Guo Yiqian, the prince of Dingguo, who focuses on profit in everything, and will take care of some family affection.
She asked, "Is the eldest brother okay now, is the family okay?"
Guo Wenqing resisted the urge to complain to her, and said in a low voice: "Fortunately, everything is fine." Then he said: "It's not easy for you to be alone in the palace, so be careful in everything, don't let someone take the handle." ”
As he spoke, he leaned forward a little more, and the lower his voice became, "There is one thing I still think I should remind you, listening to my father, it seems that someone in the court intends to make a big fuss with his identity." ”
Guo Wenying was slightly stunned, her identity has always been a thorn in her heart, she walked as if she was carrying an explosive bag on her body, I don't know when it will be fried, if it is really used by someone with a heart, it will be blown up when it is pulled out.
I sighed in my heart, what should come will always come, and those ministers in the DPRK and China are like monkeys one by one, how can they not know her identity? It is nothing more than profit, whether it should be done, and what should be done.
Guo Wenqing told her that these were kind, she was grateful in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, big brother." ”
Guo Wenqing nodded, "You are always careful, you are always a family, you don't have to have too much resentment against the Guo family, if you really have something, the Guo family will also protect you." ”
Guo Wenying sighed slightly, she did have a grudge against the Guo family, otherwise she would not have been estranged. She would rather live on Sweetwater Street than go back to Guo's house. But maybe she is right, if she really has something, the Guo family will find a way to protect her even if it is for self-protection.
Guo Wenqing gave her another reassuring look, and then walked away quickly.
After a while, the second half of the game began, and the second half of the game was also a round-robin format, with the first game being a trap trap.
This one is a trap expert from the south, competing with a trap expert from the north, and the two test each other to see whose trap can trap each other.
The northern trap expert began to set up first, he lowered his head and set up the trap mechanism on the field, dozens of traps were actually connected to each other, which could lure all the troops into the trap area, and then launch them together, so that the lethality of the trap could be maximized.
It's just that this trap works better on large-scale people, if it is a single person, it is better to do light skills but it is not easy to trap, and the southern expert looks like a kung fu practitioner, and he walks easily along the middle of a few planks, and is not affected by the collapse of the trap at all.
Although he didn't trap his opponent, his exquisite design was still greatly praised by Bai Yusheng, and he even stepped down and walked to the organ to inspect it personally. Qi Huaishan, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, also followed, and the two of them discussed enthusiastically while watching, as if they really had plans to use the mechanism on the battlefield.
Guo Wenying thinks that this design looks quite bluffing, but it is not practical at all if it is really used in large-scale wars. Not to mention how many people can be trapped by this kind of mechanism, the effort it takes to set up the mechanism alone is not generally usable. Moreover, the scope of adaptation of this trap is very small, and it can be used at most in the fight of dozens or hundreds of people, and it really takes hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands, and the dead point people cannot affect the battle situation at all.
The southern trap connoisseur had set up a kind of tripping trap, which was very good for ambush and had a much wider range of applications. Guo Wenying watched attentively, but learned a lot from his mechanism.
This one was won by a trap expert from the South, whose mechanism was clever and practical.
In the second game, it was their turn.
Guo Wenying took out an arrow crossbow and placed it in front of him. This arrow crossbow is somewhat similar to the appearance of the chain crossbow, but the discerning person will know that it has been fully improved at a glance, and there is a black box underneath, and no one else knows what it is used for, making the whole arrow crossbow look heavy.
Wei Qi took out a shield. The shield was peculiar, with countless uneven pieces grinding out of it. Each piece is the size of a fingernail, and the direction is different, some horizontal, some vertical, and some tilted, and when viewed from a distance, it reflects the sun's rays and shimmers.
This is also Bai Yusheng's proud work, which is used to guard against his own chain crossbow. When the arrow hits the shield, it cannot be forced, because of these small pieces in different directions, and can only be bounced in all directions, so as to achieve protection.
