Zuo You walked up to Guo Shao, staring at him and waiting for him to explain.

At this time, Guo Shao quickly untied the only ornament on his body from his waist: a jade pendant worn with a red rope. Then he tied it on the wooden shelf of the wall chart, and whispered to Zuo You: "Let's imagine that this jade pendant is not a jade pendant......

Zuo You was stunned and said: "It's obviously it." ”

Guo Shao glanced at him and said, "Think of it as a big iron ball with blades stuck all over it, enlarge it!" Then he picked up the brush from the inkstone on the board and drew a man on the drawing, "There is a man here who is tied up, and he can't be moved." Do you understand? ”

Zuo You nodded.

Guo Shao picked up the hanging jade pendant, pulled it in the direction of the drawing, and then let it go, and the jade pendant was empty in mid-air. "If we want this person on the picture, are we afraid?"

Zuo You said: "If it's really a big iron ball with blades stuck all over it, you should be afraid?" ”

Guo Shao asked again: "Is it dangerous?" ”

Zuo You nodded: "It may be knocked into a meatloaf." ”

Guo Shao shook his head and said, "It's not dangerous." As long as you pull this 'iron ball' to the right, it will not exceed the person on the drawing, and you will definitely not hit the person on it. Try it if you don't believe it. ”

Zuo You showed curiosity on his face, and after trying it a few times, there was really no exception. At this time, I heard Guo Shao say: "What I want to say is that some things seem to be dangerous, but they are not, but it depends on whether you have the courage." Emperor Zhou E is definitely not a person who can kill people, not to mention that I am not a traitor, the attack on the Southern Tang Kingdom is to end the war and unify the rivers and mountains, we are not doing evil. ”

Zuo You said: "Even so, the lord is the commander of the army, why do you need to 'tie yourself to this map'?" ”

Guo Shao was silent for a moment and said, "Emperor Zhou E must be unwilling to come, she was forced." Imagine how a queen of the country feels when she encounters such a situation? I have to be kind to her in order to avoid the loss of fragrance and jade, and to be kind to others should first have trust; We don't believe her, and it's just a matter of pretending to save face......"

Zuo You had an expression that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and kept shaking his head: "No, I have to stay here tonight and go to bed with my lord." ”

"Mother, I spent so much time talking with you, in vain!" Guo Shao frowned and said, "Anyway, we can't easily expose Emperor Zhou E, she should be pinched in Jiangning Mansion in the sore spot......"

…… When Zhou Xian heard this, he hurriedly covered his mouth tightly with his hand, so he didn't cry. Tears were like opening a floodgate, and they couldn't stop it, and they wet their collars.

The murderous aura that had just been puffed up disappeared in an instant. My heart was sour, soft, and painful, and my brain was a mess.

What am I going to do...... What to do? A sentence echoed back and forth in her heart, lingering.

But one thing is certain, the hands-on opportunity that I thought I had tonight has now been lost. Looking at Zuo You's posture, he must accompany Guo Shao's tent; As long as Guo Shao has someone around him, there is nothing she can do about such a weak woman as Zhou Xian.

She quietly walked away from behind the curtain, carefully returned to the bed, and lay down with her. For a moment, all the strength of her body seemed to be drained, and she lay there motionless, feeling completely uncontrollable, not knowing where she was, let alone where to go, she only knew how to cry, and she didn't know what else to do.

I don't know how long it took, in a daze, she remembered the lingering and warmth with Guo Shao when she was in Tokyo last year, the feeling of being filled, the panic of numbness, the lightness of the clouds, and the indulgence of not being able to breathe, as if it had happened just now. Zhou Xian's mouth was dry for a while, and after a while, his face was hot, and he scolded himself with shame and annoyance: I am such a shameless woman, when did I think of such a thing.

But when she thought about it, she couldn't restrain herself, and the memories of the past that he had suppressed in his heart finally came to her mind surgingly. After returning to Jiangning Mansion, she couldn't stop thinking about it for a long time; And now, all the hard work has been in vain, and the things that have been deeply remembered have come back clearly.

He said: "Although you said that you would not come to the appointment, I was afraid that you would be very disappointed if you found that no one was there after you came, so I waited for a while." ”

"Madame is like a plum blossom, there is tenacity in beauty, and it still blooms in the wind and snow."

"To be kind to her, you should first have trust......"

Zhou Xian's heart was sour again, the kind of emotional collapse and connivance that flowed from his tears, but there was a trace of happiness in the sourness. Only in this moment can she truly indulge her emotions...... Hate! hated to meet too late, and when I saw him, he was already a wife, and his body and mind had been entrusted to others; Hates him for knowing that there is no result, and he still comes to plunder his heart. Regret! regretted that when he was retained by him in Tokyo, he couldn't let go of his identity and his homeland, so he left ruthlessly; If you had more courage and stayed, how could you be so desperate and in such a dilemma now?

However, those remorseful indulgences are only for a moment, and Zhou Xian is no longer a willful and wanton little lady, waiting for the mood to calm down a little. She thought of Zhou Jiamin, thought of her identity as the queen of the country, thought of Li Yu and the public opinion of the world, and realized that the desperate situation had not changed.

Not only has it not changed, but now there are more wanderers, with no way forward and no way back. Until now, she would never assassinate Guo Shao, and she would not be able to resist the previous arrangement...... I can't even let go of death.

In this world, the most desperate thing is probably not death, but death.

Zhou Xian was lying on the bed, but it was like lying on top of a frying pan in the underworld, physically and mentally tormented and tortured.

……

Zhou Xian stayed awake all night, and the next morning, his eyes were red and swollen like a peach. came out of the curtain, and saw that Guo Shao had already gotten up. Guo Shao took out a chewed willow branch from his mouth and threw it away, turned his head to look at Zhou Xian: "You didn't sleep well last night?" ”

Zhou Xian's eyes flickered, and he said: "I am not familiar with life, and there are so many soldiers and men outside, so naturally I don't sleep well." ”

Guo Shao nodded and said casually: "That's the same." ”

Zhou Xian asked softly again, "What about Zuo Shaoqing?" ”

Guo Shao was slightly stunned and said, "When I wake up, he will leave and go back to make up for sleep." He paused and said with a straight face, "In view of the lack of sincerity in the peace talks of the Southern Tang Lord, the Great Zhou Army will launch an important war in the near future. ”

Zhou Xian groaned: "General Guo wants to attack Jiangning City? ”

Guo Shao said: "Don't dare to leak the military aircraft for the time being. The sincerity of the peace talks in the Southern Tang Kingdom is insufficient, but after all, we have sent people, so we must also salute first and then soldiers, and accept the kindness of the envoy...... Yesterday, the envoys of the Southern Tang Dynasty wanted to let the courtesans dance, and I planned to allow them to hold a banquet and entertain them. 'Wang Yao', do you want to dance with them? ”

Zhou Xian was immediately silent when he heard this. Dancing is another killing opportunity!

She clearly remembered the planning process of Li Yu and Liu Liuyi. first asked Zhou Xian to try to act as an internal response, because she had the opportunity to get close to Guo Shao; But this method doesn't work now, because Liu Liuqi once wanted to be Zhou Xian's maid, but was refused, and it was difficult to find a reason for Liu Liuqi to enter the Chinese army for a while...... According to the plan, this road is not working, and the last way is to risk stabbing in public during the dance!

Guo Shaoji's subordinates were obviously wary of these courtesans, and Li Yu and the others also took this into account. However, Guo Shao still didn't understand another thing: he didn't know how fast Liu Liuqi's sword was!

Zhou Xian felt that Guo Shao was already in danger, but she didn't dare to remind him, her mind was very messy, and she didn't know what to do.

"'Wang Yao'?" Guo Shao reminded.

Zhou Xian came back to his senses and looked at him blankly with an "ah". Guo Shao said: "I just asked you if you want to dance with other courtesans. ”

Zhou Xian frowned and said, "Okay, I want to go too." ”
