Chapter 446: A Wordless Reunion
Zhou Xian felt shameless to face Guo Shao, but he couldn't help but look at and look forward to the door of the tent. Everything was rushed and not ready at all...... When he arrived, he was in a hurry to see him, and he seemed so urgent, and when he knew that his trip was for his life, what should he be?
Countless memories have been sealed, but at this time and this scene have been awakened again, Zhou Xian's heart is full of mixed feelings.
At this moment, the light suddenly dimmed slightly, and a tall figure appeared at the door. Like a mountain blocking the sun, Zhou Xian's heart suddenly stopped, and the feeling of suffocation that she couldn't breathe hit her heart defenselessly, and she was dizzy in front of her eyes, and she didn't see Guo Shao's appearance clearly for a while.
"Guo Dashuai has arrived!" A martial artist said loudly with a nervous trembling voice. Then a neat sound of "bang" was heard, and a group of soldiers raised the tassel guns.
Zhou Xian intuitively felt in an instant that this person's position in the hearts of the forbidden soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty must be the soul of these wolf-like men.
She finally calmed down a little, looked up, and saw that Guo Shao's gaze had stayed on her. The two of them looked at each other, and Zhou Xian hurriedly looked away, paying attention to his movements in the afterglow. Guo Shao gradually approached, her heart tightened more and more, her hands tugged her sleeves, and her palms were full of sweat...... I really saw that the emperor didn't care so much.
But Guo Shao walked in front of her, didn't say a word, and continued to look at the other women.
Zhou Xian was a little surprised at first, Guo Shao would never rush to meet him for some courtesans, the purpose of his trip was only himself; But he paid special attention to other courtesans, pretending not to know himself, as if he was covering up, what was he hiding about?
Zhou Xian observed him and found that there was a faint sadness in his eyes, which was completely different from Li Yu's anxiety, very forbearant and elusive.
This person's mind is very delicate, and Zhou Xian has seen it before. She couldn't help but watch him, guessing his thoughts. Guo Shao's body was very neat, so neat that it didn't look like he was fighting...... However, even if he is fighting, he does not have to fight in person, so it is understandable.
His whole person gives Zhou Xian a very unique feeling, which is completely different from all the world. His details are ornate and extravagant, the scabbard of the sword at his waist is gold and inlaid with precious stones, it is doubtful whether this sword can be used in battle, and the belt buckle is also gold, which sparkles in the sun...... But the clothes he wore were not red and blue brocade, and the outer clothes were gray and the inner lining was plain white.
The body is tall and strong, and the demeanor is not elegant; It's not as rude and unruly as that kind of bold martial arts. His body is straight, his every move is very regular, and he even pays a little too much attention to details, such as the action of deliberately straightening his shirt just now, which is not free and bold at all. What kind of experience made him such a temperament?
Guo Shao finished reading all the courtesans one by one before returning to Zhou Xian, pointing at her and saying, "You, what's your name?" Without waiting for Zhou Xian to answer, he didn't seem to care what kind of name she wanted to make up, and then said, "You come with me." ”
Zhou Xian's face was hot for a while, he calmed down and bowed slightly, "Yes, general." ”
She was just about to come out, when suddenly a voice said: "The army is full of men, and no one serves the lady, and it is quite inconvenient to live, please allow the slave family to accompany my lady." ”
Liu Liuqi's voice. Zhou Xian suddenly realized the purpose of this trip, and at that moment he forgot what he was doing here...... It would be very unreliable to ask her to do the assassination. She immediately became nervous and heavy, because she fully understood Liu Liuqi's mission in her heart.
Guo Shao turned his head to look at the woman who was speaking, his eyes were very bright, not looking at Zhou Xian, but she had an illusion that she had been seen through, and felt that everything could not be hidden from Guo Shao at all.
There was silence for a long time without saying a word, the atmosphere was gradually tightening, and the air seemed to have frozen in the air. Liu Liuqi is really a very courageous woman, and she can stand such a very stressful look, and looks at Guo Shao calmly... But precisely because of this, Liu Liuqi has exposed that she is not a simple person. This woman's heart is not as fine as Guo Shao's man.
Zhou Xian felt that everything was over, and the so-called carefully planned actions of this trip were simply a piece of paper in front of Guo Shao.
He finally spoke, and his tone was still very gentle, "No, you don't serve people well, you're too careless......" He paced two steps and stood in front of a little lady, who looked timidly at her toes with her head down, and said, "You come with that lady and serve her daily life, willing?" ”
The little lady nodded hurriedly, and said half a word.
Guo Shao immediately turned around and left, not even staying for half a moment. Then a young military general came, and said politely: "The two of you come with me, my name is Lu Chengyong, you can tell me if you have any trouble in the future." ”
Zhou Xian and the others followed the young man out of the tent, the man didn't talk much, didn't ask half a superfluous word, and silently walked in front to lead the way.
Outside the tent was a rough scene, a large flag was crackling in the light snow, and soldiers with long weapons marched through the tents in a queue, and the smoke was filled in the snow.
There was an extended footprint on the mud and snow on the ground, and the steps were large. The route of Zhou Xian and the others completely coincided with this column of footprints, she tried silently, and she couldn't take one step of the footprints after taking three steps by herself.
Not long after, Zhou Xian entered the big tent of the Chinese army and saw that Guo Shao was already sitting in front of a rough wooden board with various papers and tools on the board. Then she looked sideways, and the young man had stopped the young lady behind her, and had not entered the tent, so that there were only two people left in the most spacious tent.
The layout here is very rough and monotonous, and there are of course no ornaments for marching and camping; But she found that there was a small plum sprig on the board. Zhou Xian couldn't help but be stunned.
Guo Shao looked up at her, sighed softly, and couldn't hide the pity in his eyes: "I have thought many times about the circumstances under which we will meet again, and I am also worried that we will not be able to see each other again, but I really didn't expect this to be the case." ”
When Zhou Xian heard the words "think many times" and "worry" in that low voice, his heart was so soft that he couldn't feel this person's danger at all.
She whispered, "I didn't expect that either. ”
Then Guo Shao said: "Your identity is a courtesan, and you are in danger in the army, so I am afraid that if a soldier drinks and ignores military discipline, this kind of small mistake will happen from time to time." You stay with me in the future, don't worry, I won't hurt you. ”
When Zhou Xian heard this, he said in a trembling voice: "I know you won't hurt me." ”
But in my heart I said, "Don't you worry that I will hurt you?"
Guo Shao wanted to speak and stopped, but finally said nothing. Instead, Zhou Xian took the initiative to ask, "You don't ask why I was sent here?" ”
Guo Shao pondered for a moment and said, "The lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty has an explanation in the secret letter and asks for peace. ”
Zhou Xian wanted to ask him if he believed it, but wasn't it too obvious to ask? It doesn't seem to be good to betray Li Yu and the Southern Tang Kingdom as soon as he comes, and the consequences may not be light. Zhou Xian's heart was in a mess, and he was helpless about the things he was facing.
But Guo Shao was very calm, and he couldn't see any wandering in him. Zhou Xian wanted to know: Did he guess those things, and how much?
He withheld a kind of anger, but did not show it, as if he was cautious.
At this moment, Guo Shao said: "You stay here for a few days first, don't worry, I will take care of everything." ”
"What is General Guo going to deal with?" Zhou Xian asked softly, looking at him for a moment.
Guo Shao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The smaller the matter, the more troublesome it is, I can't say it clearly...... his expression is very sincere, "I can't say it, you have your troubles, and it will be more difficult to mess up if you say it." ”
Zhou Xian thought carefully about his words, and a trace of expectation suddenly arose in his heart. That subtle mind is like being locked in a dark room, and a ray of warm light suddenly shines in.
"But first, I'm going to deploy an upcoming campaign, and I don't have to stop for a moment." Guo Shao said, "Li Yu has no sincerity in asking for peace at all, otherwise he should have sent the jade seal and the table, not you." ”
At this moment, Lu Chengyong's voice said outside: "Lord, there will be something to see in the end." ”
Guo Shao replied, "Come in and say." ”
Lu Chengyong walked into the tent, hugged his fists and said: "Li Chuyun's sailor has caught up and is on the river." ”
Guo Shao stood up, glanced at Zhou Xian again, and said, "Prepare the carriage." ”
Not long after, Zhou Xian was also invited to travel by car, but not in the same car with Guo Shao's lonely man and widow, there was also a civil official named Zuo You in the same car, he sat next to Guo Shao, and Zhou Xian sat opposite. The civil official named Zuo You didn't even look at her.
Escorted by cavalry, the carriage drove to the riverside.
Guo Shao stretched out his hand to pull the curtain, and suddenly the spectacular scene on the river shocked Zhou Xian. It is not an exaggeration to say that the sails of the ships are like clouds covering the sky, and the entire river is full of warships and the military flags of the Zhou army, as if they want to block the river.
"My lord, it's all your warship." Zuo Yu said in a deep voice.
Guo Shao's eyes showed excitement, a smile appeared on his face, he sat up straight, as if he was thrifting his army, probably the shoulder scarf was tied too tightly, he grabbed the knot under his neck, and his head swayed slightly.
At this moment, Zhou Xian felt a terrifying aura from Guo Shao. He may not have realized it himself, but his eyes were full of ambition at this point.
Zhou Xian also saw an obsession with power in him, but unlike Li Yu, Li Yu was worried about losing power all the time, and the man in front of him was full of aggression.
The civil officials around him seemed to understand him very well, and said in a timely manner: "Soon the entire Jiangnan will belong to the lord, and our territory will be doubled, and the land in Jiangnan is rich and densely populated, and the Dingkou, money and grain are far more than doubled." ”
Guo Shao turned his head and glanced at Zuo You, and the two of them showed a look of celebration very tacitly.
