Sure enough, at the gate, I saw a man in his thirties, with a pair of big eyes, a round forehead, a narrow chin, and a cloth robe and a hood on his head. He recognized Zuo You first, and then his gaze stayed on Guo Shao's body, and his eyes suddenly lit up...... It's not because of how Guo Shao looks like Yushu Linfeng, this guy may have recognized Guo Shao. According to Zuo You, he "shot hats" at Chen Qiaomen that day, and Luo Yanhuan was also watching.

"Guo Due?" The big man stepped forward to bow.

Guo Shao smiled, and before he could speak, Zuo You said, "It's the person I mentioned to you last time." Lord, he is Luo Yanhuan. ”

Dahan suddenly clenched his fists, and his tone was a little excited: "I've seen Guo Du's envoy in the next place!" ”

"Haha!" Guo Shaoxian smiled heartily loudly, and somehow the scene of meeting Zhao Kuangyin for the first time in the Gaoping Wounded Barracks came to mind. In some inexperienced occasions, people will unconsciously imitate and learn to do what they see and hear; Guo Shao is no exception, it is the first time he has been like this "Corporal Lixian", of course, he remembered what he had seen and heard.

Guo Shao immediately praised like Zhao Kuangyin praised people: "I heard your deeds from Zuo You's mouth, and you once took away a thousand war horses that were originally going to be sent to the Khitans in Youzhou!" At a time when the country is in danger, you can be clear about the righteousness and have the courage to make a decision, which makes me very admired! ”

"Where, where......" Luo Yanhuan seemed to be getting more and more excited, and his speech was no longer as sharp as just now.

"General Luo, please inside!" Guo Shao made a hearty and happy look.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Luo Yanhuan didn't seem to dare to be called a general, "Guo Du's envoy personally went out to greet him, and the last general was really ashamed." ”

Guo Shao said in his heart after hearing this, but Luo Yanhuan and Yang Biao, who are also military generals, are a little different.

The group of three people entered the door and walked to the living room, Guo Shao remembered that another general invited Xun's family to treat him, and Xiang Xun's elated and happy appearance was unpretentious; At that moment, Guo Shao was also full of smiles, and the atmosphere of hospitality suddenly increased. As he walked, he said, "As soon as Zuo You mentioned your matter, I felt respectful and immediately wanted to make friends. Unexpectedly, I heard that you were already in front of the house, and I couldn't wait to see the demeanor of the strong man! ”

Luo Yanhuan hurriedly replied: "It's really embarrassing to be humiliated, and I'm ashamed ......."

Zuo You said very little at this time, just looked at Guo Shao with a smile calmly.

Entering the living room and taking a seat, a stout black woman came up with a tea tray to set the tea. Luo Yanhuan only sat on half of his butt in the chair, and said: "The lowly position only says that Guo Du treats his brother well, and he doesn't want to be so polite and virtuous, and he doesn't think that people are inferior!" ”

Guo Shao said with a smile: "Except for beautiful women, I only treat good men and strong men, but I am not polite to anyone." ”

When Luo Yanhuan heard the beauty, he finally couldn't help but look at the stout black woman who had just put tea and walked to the door. At this moment, maybe Luo Yanhuan wondered in his heart that this Guo Du's taste was a little special?

At this time, Luo Yanhuan looked a little impatient, and he didn't even pick up Guo Shao's topic, and hurriedly said: "I think of a good friend, a friend I have known since the Jin Dynasty, and I know him very well. If Guo Du had treated him with sincerity and sincerity towards his humble duties, he would have followed the saddle and the horse without regard for his life. ”

"Oh?" Guo Shaodao.

Luo Yanhuan continued: "His name is Li Chuyun, and he has been chasing General Ruan, who was appointed as the envoy of Jing and Difficulty...... Brother Li's situation has always been relatively embarrassing, but he is indeed a brave and resourceful and loyal general! During the time of Taizu, Zhe Deliang, the nephew of Zhi Gong, falsely accused Brother Li, causing him to be demoted and almost imprisoned; Fortunately, the above table of Zhe Gong exonerated him, so he was exempted from crime and returned to serve under the command of Zhe Gong. However, Brother Li and Zhe Deliang have no grudges, and they are now in a very embarrassing situation. ”

Guo Shao asked: "Why did Na Zhe Deliang use such indiscriminate means as false accusations to deal with the generals under Zhe Gong's family?" ”

Luo Yanhuan said: "Hey, the husband is not guilty!" Brother Li has an eldest daughter who is very beautiful and famous; Na Zhe Deliang was a womanizer, and he had long coveted it, and wanted Brother Li to give him his eldest daughter. However, not to mention that Na Zhe Deliang's bad conduct and thatched belly made Brother Li and his daughter look down on him, and Na Zhe Deliang's family already has eight wives and concubines, and Brother Li's daughter can only be the ninth concubine when she passes through the door. Brother Li was born in the door and studied and was courteous, how could he be willing to abandon the pearl in his palm to the dark room and be a concubine?

Zhe Deliang couldn't ask for it, first slandered in front of his uncle Zhegong, Zhegong didn't believe it, and then played a false accusation! ”

Guo Shao was also annoyed when he heard this, and said in his heart: There is indeed a lot of good and bad in this world, and there is no shortage of any kind of people.

He calmed down, turned around and asked Zuo You, who was completely left out: "Where is the place of governance of the envoy of Jingjingjiedu?" ”

Zuo You replied calmly: "It's in Guanzhong, not far from Fengxiang." ”

Guo Shaodao: "Just as we are going to Guanzhong, when the time comes, we will visit Li Chuyun first, and the Lauro brothers will introduce us." ”

Luo Yanhuan hurriedly said: "I am willing to do it. ”

……

Guo Shao didn't plan to bring too many people on this trip, so he went to Guanzhong to visit relatives and friends like he was taking leave from the Guards Division. Yang Biao, Luo Mengzi and six soldiers of the army, plus Zuo You and Luo Yanhuan. There are more than a dozen people in a line, just lightly traveling.

After Jing Niang knew their itinerary, she wanted to travel with Guo Shao. Guo Shao was not allowed, and felt that it was inconvenient and unnecessary to go out with a woman.

But Ms. Jing said she could help, and when she returned to Tokyo from Mount Emei last year, she spent the night on a mountain in Fengzhou, and out of sympathy she had sponsored a nunnery there, so that she could send someone there to establish a foothold.

Guo Shao was a little tempted when he heard this, and Jing Niang was unrelenting, so she might not be able to stop her from coming over. I reluctantly agreed.

They were ready to set off in early August.

It was more than 1,000 miles from Tokyo to Guanzhong, but the team rode horses, and it only took half a month to get to Guanzhong without rushing the trip. The Mid-Autumn Festival was spent in the post station, in order to seek fame and future, the group was thousands of miles away from home but did not have much feelings, anyway, most of them were martial artists and did not have much leisure and elegance.

Passing through Qianzhou on the way, Guo Shao and others settled in Qianzhou Station, and then remembered the history of the Qianzhou assassination led by Guo Shao...... After taking the Qianzhou Assassin History for several months, the territory he "governed" was actually the first to come back. As expected, a large group of officials from Qianzhou came to the post station in the evening of the same day, to welcome Guo Shao to the state capital first, and then inspect the government affairs of various counties.

It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, Guo Shao and others had to participate in the banquet booked by Changshi and other officials, and it was inevitable that they would make all kinds of scenes in one night and drink and talk happily...... At night, there is also a courtesan to sleep, and it is simply sent to the front of Guo Shao and others to choose.

Guo Shao asked Zuo You to determine that this kind of thing was legal. I thought to myself: It's too corrupt......

Seeing the young ladies dangling in front of them, Guo Shao said that it was difficult for the young and hot-blooded Fang Gang to control. Helplessly, Jing Niang was by his side, so he thought about it and postponed it.

As for what state officials invited to inspect local government affairs, Guo Shao was kind enough to refuse. What does it matter to him whether Qianzhou is well governed or not? Although there is a history of state official assassination, the responsibility and political achievements are not on his head, even if Qianzhou has rebelled everywhere, Guo Shao has no pressure. So the next day they took their leave and continued their journey westward.

First to the Fengxiang realm, Guo Shao discussed with the entourage, and first visited Wang Jing, the envoy of the Fengxiang Festival, as a courtesy respect; Then he went to Pizhou to visit Luo Yanhuan's friend Li Chuyun.

Wang Jing still sent people to give a warm reception to his colleagues from Tokyo, but he only met him for a while, and then he was accompanied by the officials below. Because Guo Shao is several levels lower than Wang Jing, it should be so.

Guo Shao and the others originally came out of Tokyo to learn about the terrain and scenery of the battlefield, but they unexpectedly spent nearly a month, except on the road, that is, during the banquet to socialize with others. These people are indeed difficult to omit in their sophistication, and since they are officials in the same dynasty, since they have already been on other people's territory, they will leave a bad reputation of rudeness inside and outside the court if they don't greet and entertain.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived in Pizhou, he had to spend a whole day first begging to see the envoy of Jiedu and the reception officials in the Ruan shogunate.

It wasn't until the end of August that Luo Yanhuan met his friend first, and then brought his friend Li Chuyun's kind invitation to Guo Shao.

Guo Shao specially changed into clean clothes at the Pizhou Post House, and then took the five entourages to visit according to the invitation. In addition to the six pro-soldiers, there are already several people, if you let the pro-soldiers eat together, it seems that a dozen people in a group are too much...... That Li Chuyun was not a festival envoy like Wang Jing and Zhe Congruan, and everyone also visited on the grounds of personal friendship.

Li Chuyun opened the gate and personally waited outside the gate, thinking that his position was far inferior to Guo Shao, the commander of the army.

As soon as Guo Shao and the others arrived at the place, they saw a large group of at least twenty or thirty people waiting at the door. And most of the scholars are dressed up, some are dressed in brocade and silk, and some are cloth robes, looking rich and poor or there is a gap, but they don't look like martial artists, and some people look at the thin arms and legs are scholars who have no power to tie the chicken. Guo Shao was very puzzled at the beginning, there are so many literati in the Li Chuyun family? Didn't you hear Luo Yanhuan say that he was very miserable, how could he raise as many customers...... Soon he realized that maybe these people were not Li Chuyun's doormen, but they might be invited to sit with him from near and far.

Guo Shao came out of Tokyo on this trip, participated in a lot of entertainment, and was already familiar with the general way of this kind of occasion, according to the host's idea, the more people who sat with him, the more he could show his attention to the distinguished guests. There are many people at the banquet, and a compliment from one person can also make the atmosphere more joyful.

But Guo Shao guessed wrong.

It wasn't until Luo Yanhuan introduced your names and official positions, and Li Chuyun came forward to greet them, that he talked about the origin of such a group of people: "Although Li is a martial artist, he is a vassal and elegant, and he respects celebrities and scholars. When the young man mentioned it, he asked celebrities from near and far to come to the shelter to meet friends with poetry. I think there are a lot of friends and it is lively today, so I set the day of inviting Guo Du's envoy today, and I hope to forgive me. ”

Empower friends with poetry...... Unusual! Guo Shao said that the people around him are all martial artists, including his friend Luo Yanhuan.
