Chapter 669: Rush to the market
Outside the quaint and old Lingzhou City Gate, there were all kinds of people in strange costumes in Guo Shao's opinion, and the leaders and envoys of all ethnic groups came to watch, probably because the movement last night was too big. At this time, the scene made Guo Shao seem to have returned to the barbarian era, and a group of primitive people were rushing to the market here.
The clan leaders bowed to their chests all around, but they were supposed to be onlookers. It seems that joining in the crowd is not Han'er's unique preference.
Such a chaotic scene, it seems that there is no order to mess around, but in fact, the living environment in the northwest is harsh, and the survival of all ethnic groups has its own rules.
Wei Renpu led people to greet him outside the city, and he was accompanied by the party nobleman Wuzang.
Wei Renpu's face is particularly ugly, so it would be good if Li Yueji hadn't officially canonized her name, but now her identity, out of this case, is losing Da Zhou's face. Suddenly this kind of thing happened, so many people knew, and it was impossible to keep it a secret.
Things are quite tricky, and a small thing can very well change the basic frontier national policy. The politics of this era are not as rational and mature as they are in modern times.
Wuzang's face was even darker at this time, and he looked at Li Yueji and Brother Yu in Guo Shao's team. Li Yueji sat on the horse and no one did anything to her, and her brother was tied up.
The Muzo clan suddenly knelt down beside the road!
Guo Shao had already heard from Lu Duosun that this brother was the son of the Wuzang clan...... Tiger poison does not eat children, let alone people, even if it is a party barbarian, he still cares about his son very much.
"Your Majesty......" did not hide the clan and knelt on the ground.
Guo Shao immediately interrupted him, and pretended to be dissatisfied in public: "The daughter of the king of Xiping is really arrogant, and she wants to flee back to Xiazhou because she is not suitable for etiquette and customs. The man we kidnapped was her slave, and he was just at her command. ”
Wuzang was stunned and looked up at Guo Shao.
Guo Shao looked at each other, hoping that this party nobleman would have a little brains and understand what he meant. Brother Na's identity on this trip was not originally a nobleman, but a guard to send relatives; This incident cannot be characterized as "elopement for love", but must be defined as Li Yueji's own willful nonsense...... As for everyone gossiping, there is no way, but the official can't admit it.
Wuzang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as if swallowing what he had just said, and changed his words: "The party members don't understand the etiquette of the Central Plains, and the county lord is too young and ignorant, so I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." There was some misunderstanding in this, and the county lord left Lingzhou without permission, just because he thought that His Majesty did not value her; The county lord is the biological daughter of the king of Xiping, and it is inevitable that she will be arrogant and can't stand being ignored and wronged......"
Guo Shao was noncommittal, and only focused all the causes and consequences of this incident on Li Yueji alone, not two people, and said: "Concubine Li Xian is already my concubine, and I have my own to deal with it." "Now the horse is gone.
Wei Renpu also got on the horse to follow, Guo Shao turned around and said in a deep voice: "Leave more leeway first, so that we can have more choices." ”
Wei Renpu clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty is wise, the old minister has to obey!" ”
That Li Yueji blamed the emperor for marrying her and not going to greet her in person, tossing all night, and finally got her wish, Guo Shao did take her directly into the palace this time, but she was almost escorted in.
The palace is actually a large dilapidated courtyard, and the houses are still low and old, and there are no good houses in Lingzhou. There is a corridor in the courtyard, and there is no one after entering, a group of four. Guo Shao walked in the front, followed by Li Yueji, the military general Lu Chengyong and the eunuch Wang Zhong walked last.
In the long corridor, Guo Shao didn't say anything, and several people didn't speak. A silent section of the road seems to be traveling through the corridor of time. Li Yueji could only look at Guo Shao's back from behind.
The sunlight poured in from under the eaves, and Guo Shao realized that the western frontier was very large and vast, but this place made him feel like he was closed...... Because it is too far from the most civilized and developed center, it seems to be in a backward mountain.
Somehow, Guo Shao's mind actually thought of one thing: those women who were abducted and trafficked into the mountains.
If we exclude the factors of some national interests and the influence of personal emotions, the essence of Li Yueji's experience is actually very simple: she is a victim, sold from her hometown to a strange place, but the price is relatively high.
She was used as a tool for marriage and lost her freedom.
The sister in the previous life had a great influence on Guo Shao.
…… Of course, Guo Shao was very dissatisfied with what Li Yueji did, and the emotions in it were very subtle and simple...... Most men are extremely unhappy; And it will be extremely intolerable for a woman to not have a clear relationship with her "ex-boyfriend"! However, he remembered the horse he found on the road that fell into a pit and broke his leg, and the situation last night was so urgent, Li Yueji should not have done anything substantial, and it was probably okay to endure it; After all, Guo Shao is not choosing a girlfriend, but getting married.
Guo Shao has the highest requirements for Fu Jinzhan in his heart, but he doesn't have too many requirements for other women......
And this Li Yueji, although she has a good background in the party and has seen the world, Guo Shao thinks that she still lacks experience, at least she doesn't understand men.
He glanced back at Li Yueji, her face was full of filth, but she was indeed a natural beauty, and she was beautiful without external decoration...... Beauty is different from ordinary women in the eyes of men.
Guo Shao finally broke the silence: "Concubine Li Xian, don't try to escape anymore. ”
Li Yueji: "......"
Guo Shaodao: "You are Li Yiyin's biological daughter, and your marriage can best ensure peace between the two clans." I won't let you go for any reason. ”
He sighed slightly, and added: "People are always afraid of the unknown......"
Li Yueji frowned and listened, not knowing what Guo Shao meant by this.
Guo Shao glanced at her: "Concubine Li Xian can't choose her own fate, she can only accept her fate, but I have no grievances with you, and I can make your life a little better." ”
No matter what Li Yueji thinks, Guo Shao feels that people still need to compromise, not that they can do whatever they want...... Especially in this backward era.
Wang Zhong said cautiously: "Where is there such a generous person in the world? ”
Guo Shao lowered his head, bent down and stepped into the study, the house in this place was low, and the door was also very low, when he turned around, he saw Li Yueji looking dazed, and he didn't think much about it, so he put his palm on the side of the door, so as not to hit her head.
Li Yueji really almost bumped into it, she was stunned for a moment, bent down and stepped in from under Guo Shao's arm, the two were very close, and her face turned red.
…… Li Yueji recovered from her fright, her mind calmed down a little, and she couldn't help but look at the room curiously after entering the house. The walls were plastered with maps and slips of paper with various Chinese names, and she could speak Chinese, but she didn't recognize many words and couldn't understand them. There were also rummled books on the table, which looked a little messy.
She couldn't help but look curiously at the strange and difficult young man in front of her.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Guo Shao stared at her chest intentionally or unintentionally, Li Yueji frowned, and quietly hugged her arms to her chest. The light in his eyes was in great contrast to his previous calm words and deeds......
Li Yueji couldn't help but ask, "You...... Your Majesty does not cure my sins? ”
Guo Shao said: "Everything has been done for the marriage, you are Concubine Li Xian, how can I treat you?" ”
Li Yueji relaxed slightly when she heard this, although she didn't know this person, she felt that he was still very tolerant. She asked casually, "What about Brother Yu?" ”
Guo Shao's expression changed suddenly, and his face was not so good-looking. He looked angry, a wave of anger enveloped his face, and the gentleness and kindness just now disappeared very quickly! Humanity is a woman's face changing like the sky, but what about a man?
Guo Shao's gaze swept over Li Yueji's body, his eyes showed wild desire, and he said coldly: "In the Central Plains, when people from the royal family make mistakes, they generally take the blame for the people around him (her), because they did not do their duty to admonish the master. ”
Li Yueji's heart sank when she heard this.
Brother Yu is a person she is very close to, and there is not much difference between Pingsu and her brother. Moreover, if he hadn't agreed to it last night, how could it have affected him?
Guo Shao's voice suppressed a certain torrent, and he added: "However, if the person who made the mistake behaves well, everything has room for maneuver." ”
Li Yueji frowned and said, "How can you behave well?" ”
Guo Shao didn't say anything, but looked at Li Yueji's figure very carefully.
Sometimes there are differences in language habits and meanings, but people's eyes are the same. Li Yueji immediately understood! She was seen to have hairy hair and goosebumps.
Li Yueji's face was red and white for a while, and she didn't know what to say to this tall and strange Han'er Emperor.
Li Yueji wants to say: I hate others forcing me and threatening me the most!
She has been very likable since she was a child, but no one dares to mistreat her in Xiazhou, most of them are admiration and respect; It is very comfortable to be loved. Li Yueji is also glad that she looks good...... But as soon as she arrived in Lingzhou, a place where she was unfamiliar with life, she finally felt the burden and danger brought by beauty.
That kind of danger, it's like a tempting prey!
In an instant, she felt that she was getting weaker and weaker because of her beauty. She became like a white rabbit.
Originally, I thought that Guo Shaoren was very gentle and generous, but suddenly Li Yueji's feelings changed again.
Guo Shao said: "You take a bath and rest first, think about it." ”
His tone was not good, he was still angry, and his warmth was much less. After saying that, he walked to the door, buried his head and stepped out, and said to the eunuch outside: "Arrange a place for Concubine Li Xian to live and find a few slaves and maids to serve her." ”
The eunuch's shrill voice said, "Wow." ”
Li Yueji sat down on a chair, stunned, and her mind was a mess.
The scene of the wolf pounced on him last night would come to mind from time to time, and the psychological shadow was very large. The fear that is cold to the bone marrow is very profound......
She remembered the question before, who shot the arrow that was inserted into the wolf's head at the end, Guo Shao or Brother Yu?
She was already in a daze, she couldn't see or hear anything, and she couldn't be sure who shot the arrow at that moment.
