There was light rain again since yesterday. Li Chuyun said that he had not gone home for many days and wanted to go home to report his safety.

Guo Shao then went all the way out of the imperial city with him. Along the way, I saw that the city of Tokyo was enveloped in an atmosphere of national mourning, but it had calmed down, and there were no longer troops on the streets that were congested with roads. It does seem like it can breathe a sigh of relief.

In just a few days, too many things have happened, all of them are big things. As if in another life, Guo Shao did feel like this, as if a long time had passed, and he felt that he seemed to be old...... Maybe it's because of physical and mental exhaustion.

Walking to Li Chuyun's mansion, Li Chuyun stroked his beard and said, "Please go to the cold house to have a cup of tea." ”

Guo Shao hesitated a little, thought for a while, and said: "General Li has to hurry to talk to his family, and he hasn't returned for several days, so they should be very worried." I'll come back another day. ”

"That's fine." Li Chuyun nodded and hugged his fists again, "See you tomorrow." ”

Guo Shao nodded, and raised his chin easily towards the door of the mansion.

Suddenly, I thought a little bit about the second sister...... There are also some people who care about him. After this busy time, you can go to Hebei to pick up Fu Ermei back. Guo Shao has some feelings, in the end, it is still more intimate to the person who really belongs to him.

…… Li Chuyun walked into the door of the mansion, and soon saw his wife and concubine coming out with the child and her daughter, and his wife immediately hugged him and cried. Li Chuyun waited for a while before pretending to be majestic and pushed his wife away.

"You're okay, let's rest assured." Madame wiped her tears and said.

Li Chuyun said: "Don't worry, now that the overall situation has been decided, I just came back with General Guo, and we are all fine." ”

Mrs. Li immediately asked, "General Guo is also here?" ”

"I asked him to come in, but he didn't come in because he didn't think it was the right time." Li Chuyun nodded.

Mrs. Li hurriedly lifted her skirt, walked in two steps, and drove out of the house, looking left and right where were there still people? She stood on the side of the road, unable to utter a word, and the light rain fell on her skin cold, and fell on her hair like fine salt.

A few mornings, her father said something strange before going out, and specially asked the family to say goodbye, and Mrs. Li recalled the secret discussion the night before, and knew that her father and General Guo were going to do something very dangerous. She had the opportunity to say a few more words to her father, but when she saw Guo Shao in a hurry the night before, there was only one look left...... In the past few days, she has been worried about her father and Guo Shao.

Mrs. Li was suddenly lost again at this moment, in fact, she was lost more than once.

At that moment, a convoy of horses and carts approached slowly, and then stopped. Li Niangzi didn't pay attention, still looking at the intersection in front of her, a moment later, she suddenly heard a "pop" sound, raised her head and saw that there was already an umbrella above her head, she hurriedly turned her head, and saw a tall man blocking her vision like a hill.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Li felt a warmth on her shoulders, a black cloak worn by a general was wrapped around her body, and a familiar and deep voice said: "It's the beginning of autumn, the weather is getting colder and colder, Mrs. Li should at least have an umbrella when she goes out." ”

Li Niangzi suddenly felt that her legs seemed to be weak, and she had to raise her head to see the tall Guo Shao's face, "You ......"

She stretched out her hand and grabbed the cloak, her face turned red for a moment, and she lowered her head and said, "General Guo is really elusive, and he is unprepared every time he sees you." The two of them were standing like this on the side of the road, and Mrs. Li was a little at a loss, not knowing how to express her feelings.

Guo Shao stood opposite her with an umbrella, and said after a moment of silence: "Every time I see you, I can expect it." General Li and I passed by here just now, and I guessed that you might come out, so I waited at the back for a while. ”

"Why is General Guo suddenly free, I know that I am waiting for someone." Mrs. Li suddenly felt sour in her heart.

Guo Shao said: "Because I just thought, if you come out and don't see anyone, you will be very disappointed and feel uncomfortable." ”

Li Niangzi choked up aggrievedly: "You will finally think about it, I have been waiting for you for so long." ”

"It's not good at the gate of General Li, get into my carriage." Guo Shao persuaded.

Mrs. Li didn't think much about it, and was led straight by him to a sturdy and richly decorated carriage. Guo Shao opened the door behind the carriage for her, reached out and grabbed her wrist and lifted it.

Mrs. Li wiped a handful of tears: "Every time I see you, you take care of everything, but it doesn't last long." ”

Guo Shao said: "You can stay with me as long as you want this time, and I'll send someone to tell General Li." After that, he patted the wooden board in front of him, "He San, let's go." ”

The person in front shouted, "Where is Ah Lang going, are you going back to your home?" ”

Guo Shao said: "Let's go around first. ”

Mrs. Li was silent for a long time, then suddenly gritted her teeth and raised her head to look at him: "Do you remember a few years of talking about the falling flowers in spring that are too short, flowing water or something, saying that I am ignorant and fickle?" ”

Guo Shao said helplessly: "I remember." ”

Mrs. Li said: "Later, when you married a wife, did I change?" ”

"Nope." Guo Shao looked tired, but shook his head seriously, "I said something wrong. ”

Mrs. Li asked again: "Are you satisfied with the daughter of the noble family?" Guo Shao said: "It's good now...... But if she's not King Wei's daughter, I'm unlikely to know if she's okay. ”

…… Guo Shao was silent for a moment, looking at Mrs. Li's beautiful oval face, with a little arrogance in her elegance, as well as her weak bones and muscles, he couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Li." ”

Li Shi turned his head to look at his expression. Guo Shao said again: "I feel very guilty for wasting your good years for a few years. I ......"

"I brought it all on myself, can I blame General Guo?" Tears welled up in Li's eyes.

Guo Shao said: "Not only that, but I feel that I have failed your kindness." ”

Li Shi suddenly had a smile on her face, and a line of tears finally slipped down her cheeks, she shook her head and said, "You don't need to say that I understand everything, my father has already said those big truths." I don't blame you. ”

Guo Shao sighed: "Some people say that I am as humble as a groom, but ...... In short, I feel that I have failed those who are really good to me. I was very confused, I used to think that whoever is good to me, I will be good to whom, is the truth of being born in the world......"

Li turned his back and took out his handkerchief, turned his head with red eyes after a while, and said with a smile: "I know that those people from high-ranking families are not so easy to get along with, right?" ”

Guo Shaojiong's eyes gradually dimmed, nodded, and said, "I told you about it in the Li Mansion a few nights ago. It's not too long to wait. ”

Li said: "It's okay, anyway, I've been waiting for so long, so it doesn't matter if I wait a little longer." ”

Guo Shao thought about it for a while, and the family's money was all taken out by himself and distributed to the families of the casualties (including the forbidden army defenders who were killed and injured by Qiao Kang's subordinates at Xihuamen)...... Including a box of gold and silver in Fu Ermei's dowry, and now he is bankrupt again. He patted his thigh and said, "Then wait a little longer, it just so happens that Tokyo is not very stable now." The time is right, I will go to the Li Mansion to be hired. ”

He said seriously: "Although I can only give you the title of a concubine, I will not let you look back on the past one day and regret that you met the wrong person in this life." ”

"General Guo......" Li Shi was moved, and hesitated to reach out and hold his rough palm.

She wanted to speak and stopped, raised her head suddenly, and gradually lowered her head, and after tossing and turning for a while, she whispered: "Actually, it's okay now, or I can go back to the house with General Guo......" After saying that, she hurriedly turned around, and her ears were red.

Guo Shao was about to answer, when suddenly a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded. He had no choice but to swallow his words back, and hurriedly lifted the curtain to look outside. I saw the eunuch Cao Tai and others riding horses to follow.

"What will happen in the palace?" Guo Shao groaned, turned his head to Li Niangzi and said, "Wait for me, I can't deal with you unprepared and simply...... This eunuch is the empress dowager's confidant, and he hurriedly looked for me, there is something important. I'll tell my third brother to take you home with the guards in a moment. ”
