"Ah!!h

Guo Shao sat up from the soft couch, covered with cold sweat, his clothes were all soaked, and even the white futon under him was drawn a "small map".

Feeling the dampness and heat under him, Guo Shao's face sank like water, with horror and anger between his eyebrows and eyes, and after shouting a few times, a scantily clad and beautiful-looking concubine walked in.

It's no wonder that Guo Shao is weak and weak, who can withstand this ** life.

The concubine waited for Guo Shao to bathe and change clothes, burn incense and pray, originally Guo Shao did not burn incense and pray, and the Kushan world did not believe in any gods, gods, Buddhas and Buddhas, the largest church in the local area, and the most powerful and influential church is only one of the natural gods, and there is no second.

It's just that the psychological shadow that Lin Tao gave Guo Shao last time was too big, even if Lin Tao just passed by it and didn't make a move, and didn't even look at him, but Guo Shao still had a nightmare.

Even uncontrollably forced back to childhood.

Enjoying the gentle service of the concubine, after changing her clothes, a delicate and lovely maid walked in, bowed slightly, and said:

"Young master, the master asked you to come over. ”

Hearing the maid's words, Guo Shao frowned, now the old man asked him to pass, it must be because of the things that have gone viral in the outer gate in the past two days, thinking of it, Guo Shao is scared and angry, damn bitch, damn Liu Fatty, blame you, otherwise I can provoke Lin Tao?

Of course, he hated Li Shiyin and Liu Fatzi who instigated him, and as for Lin Tao, Guo Shao didn't even have the courage to curse behind his back.

"Go, go to my father. Guo Shao waved his hand and asked the maid to lead the way.

Looking at the graceful figure of the maid twisting and twisting, Guo Shao was angry, you must know that our Guo Shao is unrestrained every day, he was locked up by the old man a few days ago, and soon after he came out, he locked himself in the house because of trouble, and this anger surged upward.

However, Guo Shao can distinguish priorities in the end, and now he doesn't know if his life can be saved, and even bigger, whether the entire Guo family can survive is a question.

After a while, Guo Shao, led by the maid, came to Elder Guo's study.

The maid knocked on the door first, only to hear a neutral voice coming from inside:

"Come in!"

The maid moved away slightly, and the jade hand pushed open the door of the study, making a gesture of please, and let Guo Shao in.

Guo Shao looked at the place he was most afraid of coming, and when he went in this time, he didn't know what would happen, but if he didn't go in, he would definitely die.

Guo Shao gritted his teeth, took a strong breath, and walked in, while the maid was guarding the door with a gentle smile that would never change, and every subordinate and slave who came and went would greet her seemingly gentle, but actually cold gaze.

Elder Guo's study is still extremely elegant, not as magnificent as those nouveau riche, but every place shows that this family has a good heritage, at least it has been inherited for a short time.

In fact, this is also the case, the Guo family was originally the local Shikun Hao family of Zhenwu Tower, although it was just a squire, but in the past when the imperial power decree did not go to the countryside, the squire was the emperor of the soil, not to mention that the Guo family has been a squire for generations, and the accumulation of heritage is not ordinarily profound.

The county magistrates in the past all needed to look at the Guo family's face to do things, otherwise this official would not be able to do things for long.

But with the rise of the Kushan Empire, sweeping the whole world, and the rise of the power of high martial arts, the Guo family, a squire who was powerful and blessed in his own one-third of an acre, could never return to the past.

There are some heroes and thieves in one or two wholes, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and then there are monks and Taoist priests who come to turn their fortunes, or county orders and city lords who are equipped with crossbows that were strictly forbidden in the past and come to collect taxes.

There is no way to resist this back and forth, but it makes the Guo family uncomfortable, compared with the previous life, it is completely reversed, the poor will change, and the danger will change, it just so happens that the Zhenwu Pagoda occupies here, the Guo family takes advantage of the trend, and can be regarded as the first batch of local forces to take refuge in the Zhenwu Pagoda, even if its own foundation is really not very good, it has been corrupted for hundreds of years, the Guo family also has an outer door elder, and a relatively strong outer door power network circle.

............

Smelling the aroma of sandalwood surrounding him, and listening to the sound of rubbing between the brush and the rice paper in his ears, Guo Shao stood there respectfully, not daring to move.

"Look at my handwriting, okay?" After a long time, Elder Guo put down the brush and picked up the rice paper that had been dried, four nails appeared in the palm of his hand, and the whole sheet of rice paper was hung on the wall, and the four nails flew out, inserted into the wall fiercely, and fixed the four corners of the rice paper.

Guo Shao heard the sound of nails inserting into the wall, his body trembled slightly, and he hurriedly raised his head and looked at the snow-white rice paper.

The snow-white rice paper and the black ink dragon present a sharp contrast, and the four big characters of "diligence and self-denial" are written on it!

"My father's calligraphy was naturally excellent, and he has improved these days. ”

Guo Shao praised.

"My words have improved, and that's because my understanding of these four words has deepened............"

Hearing this, Guo Shao didn't wait to breathe a sigh of relief, the brush in Elder Guo's hand flicked out, and countless ink droplets at the tip of the pen were thrown out, hitting Guo Shao's body, like dozens of big man's raindrops of fists hitting Guo Shao's body, Guo Shao flew out in an instant, and when Guo Shao slid down the wall, he heard Elder Guo slowly and leisurely say the other half of the sentence:

“......... Then why can't you understand these four words a little more?"

Although there was severe pain everywhere in his body, Guo Shao didn't dare to lie on the ground, so he hurriedly endured the pain, got up, and said:

"Father, the child knows that he is wrong, please help me!"

"I... I can't save you, what you provoke is Lin Tao, the most popular true disciple in the past half a year, because he is a new true disciple, so the limelight is immeasurable, plus when the trial is held, his first place overwhelms the results of countless people, even two hundred points higher than the second place, this kind of talent force, countless people will want to please him, and there are many high-level people who express their good feelings for him, and there are countless people who want to win him over!"

When Elder Guo said these words, he was a little powerless, it was really because of such talent that he said those words to Guo Shao, he really couldn't save Guo Shao, and even whether the Guo family could keep it was unknown.

"Father, there is still a chance, you must save me, I actually didn't tease Li Shiyin, but I wanted to be Li Shiyin's Taoist companion without knowing it, and I didn't have any disrespect for her. ”。

Guo Shao felt that he did not have the sincerity of what he said now in his life.

"This is the most troublesome place, Lin Tao did not show any dissatisfaction with you, and even ignored you, this attitude of neglect is the crux of the disease, if Lin Tao even looks at you, it will not be so troublesome, I will take you directly to Lin Tao's quiet room and kneel, kneel down This Tianjiao can't get over his face, let it out, even if you have this matter in the past, others will not have much to do, because Lin Tao has dealt with it himself, if anyone has another matter, it is teaching Lin Tao to do things, slapping him in the face. ”
