The sky was getting darker, and the rainy night came extra quickly. On Guo's house, the poke lamps inserted in the gate and the lanterns in the corridor under the eaves were lit one after another, shining on the wet floor tiles, glowing with cold water.

The rain was light, and the light rain drifted diagonally in the air, but it still didn't stop.

In the hall, Guo Shao, Zuo You, Cao Tai, and Jing Niang were carving with a piece of wood, and they only heard the "squeak" of wood chips. Guo Shao was the first to finish carving, carefully took it to the inkwell and dipped it, and then covered it on a piece of white paper, and suddenly a red square seal appeared.

He asked Cao Tai: "Is the queen's private seal like this?" ”

"At first glance it looks like it." Cao Tai said, "But it's still easy to see that here, here, here...... Not flat enough. ”

Guo Shaodao: "I can't imitate it in a hurry, I haven't seen the queen's seal anyway, and it is estimated that most people have never seen it." That's probably the way it is......" He glanced at the wood in Cao Tai's hand that was less than half carved, and said, "You repair this for me, I have a lot of strength and am responsible for carving." ”

Cao Tai said: "It's okay." The queen's seal is gold-inlaid with jade, just to be polished and smooth. ”

The font on the print was drawn by Cao Tai according to his memory, and everyone engraved it according to it. There must be a difference between the effect of the real seal, and the original form will immediately appear when compared with the true seal; But it doesn't matter, as long as you can bluff people you haven't met, and others don't have a chance to compare.

There is also Cao Tai's imitation of the queen's handwriting to write Yizhi, and the handwriting cannot be exactly the same. But identification is equally difficult.

"The queen's big seal was left by the previous dynasty, but she has her own private seal, but she has never used it...... The seal drawn by the miscellaneous family now is the approximate appearance of the queen's private seal. Cao Tai thought for a while and said affirmatively, "The miscellaneous family has been with the queen since she was in Yedu, and I haven't seen her use a private seal." The handwriting is nowhere to be found, she has not taken out what she has written, it is all oral transmission. ”

Guo Shao nodded and said: "That's right, until now, I haven't seen a single word of the queen, and I haven't even seen what her words look like." ”

Cao Tai said: "So unless it is shown to the queen mother for personal screening, outsiders will not be able to distinguish the real from the fake." ”

Guo Shao said: "It's better to ask the queen to screen." ”

A few people couldn't take care of eating, and then they were hungry, so they asked Jing Niang to go to the kitchen and bring in some pastries, and everyone was hungry with tea. was busy until the evening, Guo Shao felt that the "Jiaozhi" was almost like that, so he asked someone to prepare a carriage and horse guard.

At that moment, Cao Taizuo waited for a carriage and left the mansion under the escort of a team of horses. Guo Shao's mansion has a family of one or two hundred people for a long time, and there are many contacts, but I am afraid that I will be stared at.

There were sentry posts around his mansion, but no suspicious eyeliner was found. I don't know how Zhao Kuangyin deployed it, and whether he set up an intelligence eyeline, but he must be careful.

Guo Shao rushed directly to the west of the city first. It's nighttime in Tokyo, and there are still a few pedestrians on the streets. The gates are long closed, but the city is still unimpeded...... After the disintegration of the city and square city structure in the Tang Dynasty, commercial development was promoted, and there was no longer a divided and closed fang. (So you can still do business in the streets and alleys without going to the east and west markets.) ）

There are still official shops on the streets to maintain law and order, but the officials do not care about the dignitaries.

Guo Shao's team went to Chen Jiali's Mansion in the west of the city! At this time, even if Zhao Kuangyin's people spread out the intelligence eyeliner like Guo Shao, then he definitely didn't pay attention to Mrs. Chen...... Is it worth the effort of a businessman to keep an eye on it? Guo Shao has not been in contact with Mrs. Chen since the recent tense situation, and there is no sign.

Guo Shao asked someone to knock on the door and handed his prayer note in. After a while, the corner door opened, and Aunt Sun walked out and looked at the carriages and horses parked at the door. Guo Shao walked out, the long pole carried by the entourage poked the lamp, Guo Shao raised the umbrella above his head, Aunt Sun immediately recognized Guo Shao, and hurriedly bent her knees and said: "Unexpectedly, General Guo is here now......"

"It was indeed too late, which caused a lot of inconvenience to Mrs. Chen. But there is something important that I have to see Mrs. Chen, I don't know if it's okay? I'll see you and leave. Guo Shao said sincerely.

Aunt Sun hesitated slightly, and hurriedly said: "General Guo, forgive me, it is true at night...... You wait a moment, and then the slave family will ask the lady. ”

Not long after, Aunt Sun came back and said directly: "General Guo, please." ”

Guo Shao and the others entered the mansion with umbrellas, and then left some people at the door and entered the main hall in the courtyard with Cao Tai and others. Guo Shao has been to this place.

Aunt Sun said: "General Guo and you are waiting here, I will ask someone to serve tea, and Mrs. will be there soon." After that, he glanced at Zuo You and Cao Tai, probably thinking that they were men.

This Mrs. Chen is still so hypocritical, but it is not easy for people to be willing to let Guo Shao into the house at night.

Guo Shao saw that there were slaves and maids in the hall, so he said, "Please take us to Mrs. Chen immediately." ”

After that, he was very unreasonable and walked through the small door inside, which Mrs. Chen had come out of last time. Aunt Sun couldn't forcibly stop her, so she hurriedly followed. Guo Shao walked out of the small door and saw a corridor with several huts next to it. Mrs. Chen and a few maids had already arrived in the corridor.

Mrs. Chen was surprised when she saw this. But he still calmly bent his knees on the spot and made a blessing: "The concubine has seen General Guo, thank you General Guo for avenging her late husband." ”

Guo Shao said: "I took the liberty to disturb tonight, and I really have something to ask for." I wonder if I can take a step to speak? He looked at the maid beside her.

Mrs. Chen looked serious, pursed her lips slightly, and said, "You guys go down first." ”

"Yes." The maids bowed and withdrew.

This big family pays attention to etiquette and appearance, and looks unhurried. But at this time, Guo Shao was a little anxious, he just wanted to stay here with Mrs. Chen for a while, but he had to waste some time.

At this time, Guo Shao casually opened the door of a room, and when he saw that there was no one inside, he immediately said, "Mrs. Chen, let's come in and talk." ”

There is only one Aunt Sun left by Chen Jiali's side. Chen Jiali looked a little panicked, and with a flush, she whispered: "General Guo, what do you want to do?" ”

"Come in and talk about it." Guo Shaodao.

Chen Jiali hesitated for a moment, lowered her head and entered the door with Aunt Sun. Guo Shao immediately beckoned several people to enter the house with him, and immediately bolted the door. He didn't care about other people's feelings and situations at all, and began to undress without saying a word.

"General Guo!" Chen Jiali covered her face.

"I only change my coat." Guo Shao frowned, beckoning a few people to change clothes together, and said, "I came to ask Mrs. Chen for help today, just to get out of here; Temporarily thinking about it, Mrs. Chen is the most unlikely place to be noticed, and the mansion is also big and not easy to see. Even if my opponent had to send someone to watch him on all sides, it would be too late...... Huh! Mrs. Chen, don't be like this, if I want to do something to you, do I need to be in such a hurry? ”

Mrs. Chen finally agreed with Guo Shao's statement, put down her hand and asked, "Why did General Guo get out?" ”

"It's a long story, I'll tell you later." Guo Shao said, "Although I only stayed in the house temporarily, Mrs. Chen also helped a lot. ”

Now Guo Shao must do his best in every small link at all costs.

He changed into a cloth robe and put on his head, moved very quickly, and threw the military uniform he was wearing to Zuo You: "Put it on, you go out in a while, take my car and go straight home." Remember to pack the umbrella well and keep it low. ”

Zuo You hugged his fists and said: "I understand below." ”

Guo Shao turned his head to Chen Jiali again and said, "There must be a small door in other directions in the house, right?" Tell Aunt Sun to go and branch the people along the road, and I will leave here through the small door in a while. ”

Chen Jiali looked puzzled and gradually became nervous.

Guo Shao glanced at her: "I will remember Mrs. Chen's kindness this time." ”

"I haven't done anything, how can I talk about kindness, General Guo is serious." She said.

Guo Shao pondered for a moment: "If someone comes to ask about tonight...... Usually others don't have so much strength to pay attention to these details, I mean, if someone asks, you can ask Aunt Sun to say goodbye, because tomorrow I will leave Beijing to find Dan for the emperor; In addition, it is better for Mrs. Chen to live in another place and avoid it for ten days before coming forward. ”

Mrs. Chen said: "Looking for Dan for the emperor? ”

Guo Shao nodded and said, "Do as I say." ”

Ready, Guo Shao and Cao Tai were led by Aunt Sun to the small door of the inner house and found out the Chen family's mansion, and immediately walked into an alley, and the two of them walked briskly with umbrellas and leaning on the street.

After walking a few streets and alleys, I saw Jing Niang at the mouth of an alley. She led three horses, and when she saw Guo Shao, she handed over the two hats. The three of them didn't say a word, Guo Shao and Cao Tai immediately took their hats and turned over on their horses.

The three riders jogged along the side streets and headed straight to the east of the city.

Recently, for a long time, Guo Shao has been armed guards before and after going out, and he has not walked on horseback in Tokyo for a long time. But now he didn't care about the danger at all, and he had already risked his life...... At this juncture, I have to go to the general of the forbidden army to discuss secretly, and I can't swagger forward and backward.

Guo Shao and the other three went straight to Li Chuyun's mansion.

When he went to the vicinity of Li Chuyun's mansion, Guo Shao asked Cao Tai to go up and send a prayer post, which was sealed in an envelope. After waiting for a long time, Cao Tai returned to the court, Guo Shao and Jing Niang led the horse to the door of the mansion quickly, pressed the hat very low, and saw Li Chuyun being put straight into the door.

The three of them followed Li Chuyun into the inner house quickly, and at this moment, they suddenly saw Li Niangzi standing in the corridor and called in a trembling voice: "General Guo." ”

Guo Shao lifted his hat and raised his head to look at her.

Li Chuyun scolded: "What are you doing when you come out? ”

Guo Shao didn't say anything in front of Li Chuyun, he just looked at Li Niangzi and looked at each other. Now in this situation, he naturally didn't care about the matter with Mrs. Li, so he had to say: "The wait won't be too long." ”

The people present couldn't hear the meaning of his words, but they seemed to feel that they were saying it to Mrs. Li, because only Mrs. Li spoke to him just now. Guo Shao can only speak in this mysterious way, and it is inconvenient to speak too bluntly.
