Guo Shao and Li Chuyun discussed for a long time, and slept in Li Chuyun's inner house late at night. Now in this situation, the lives of the two of them are tied together, so naturally they don't care about any etiquette.

He didn't plan to discuss secretly overnight, and it was not okay to have a bad rest. It is the work of knives and guns, but the deployment is to think with the mind, and the more sober it is, the less likely it is to make mistakes. He knew that he didn't sleep well, and the next day he was groggy all day; Mental malaise, unresponsiveness, and unclear thinking.

So Jing Niang and his body slept outside to protect him, Guo Shao slept in the bedroom, and first took hot water to scald his feet before going to bed.

But Guo Shao is sick again, and whenever he comes to this kind of life, he is easy to lose sleep. Insomnia is rare, but once you encounter it, you can't help it, no matter how much you convince yourself...... Subconsciously understand that there may be a few more days to live, and no one can really not care.

However, Guo Shao has insomnia more than once, and he has found a more effective way: of course, it is not counting sheep, counting sheep is completely useless; It's about finding a way to really relax.

People can't deceive themselves, if they are in a state of tension with important things in their hearts, they can only deceive others by pretending to be easy. You need to put those things behind and turn your mind away from the easier things...... It's easier if you're still tired when you're relaxed.

He tossed and turned for a while, then got up and walked to the door of the bedroom, and called, "Jingniang, are you asleep?" ”

Immediately, her clear answer came: "No." ”

Guo Shao said: "You come in." ”

Jing Niang immediately turned over, quickly walked into Guo Shao's bedroom, and asked in a deep voice, "What else does the master think of to do?" ”

"Yes, it's important." Under the dim oil light, Guo Shao unscrupulously looked at the important parts of Jingniang, the places he was interested in.

Jing Niang noticed his eyes, and immediately understood, and her face turned red: "When, do you still have that mind?" ”

"The knife holder is also interested in the neck." Guo Shaodao.

The conversation between the two was as always, low and serious, probably because Jing Niang was not so relaxed and rarely smiled, and Guo Shao rarely could be teased in front of her.

But today Guo Shao is a little abnormal, staring at it, his face is still nervous, and his mouth is very explicit. As if he was saying to himself: "It's very rare that you have such big breasts and can stand up without anything to support them." ”

Jing Niang glared at him and said, "I'm angry if you say that again!" ”

Guo Shao's face showed a very ugly smile: "I just like your taste." ”

Jing Niang didn't speak. Guo Shao grabbed her hand and sat on the edge of the bed, she was still a little scared, but she didn't resist, but her breathing became short. Because Guo Shao stretched out his hand to draw the lines on her body, his face was focused and serious, and his mouth was full of praise. She doesn't say it, but in her heart she still uses praise very much.

……

Early the next morning, Jing Niang woke up in a daze, sat up suddenly, opened her eyes, and looked around, but saw Guo Shao bowing his head in front of a table. After a while, Jing Niang came back to her senses, glared and said, "Master, what are you doing?" ”

Guo Shao said without looking back: "I'm worshipping God, you get up first, don't disturb me." ”

I saw half a jade pendant on the table, and there was a piece of cake in front of it, and there were three incense sticks on the cake! Guo Shao's behavior is really weird.

As a person who had received many years of scientific education and materialist education in later generations, Guo Shao should have been ashamed of his superstitions, but he really believed in those mysterious things, not some kind of religion. Because when he came to ancient times, he witnessed miracles himself! And in the past, he was also suspicious of the gods and mysteries...... He has a feeling that no matter how strong a person is, he can't not believe in fate.

He has seen with his own eyes that some people are really unlucky, and all kinds of small probability events are beckoned to a person's head for a period of time; Some people get up smoothly, and they get what should not be. Guo Shao had long suspected that it was feng shui or something that humans didn't understand...... In fact, he felt that the science of the era in which he lived in later generations was just that, there were still too many things that human beings did not understand, and materialism was only one of many philosophical theories.

And now, at the critical juncture of gaining momentum, Guo Shao believes in some unknown things...... In fact, most of the current emperors and capable ministers also believe that there are gods on their heads.

Recall, before meeting Fu Jinzhan at Longjin Bridge in Tokyo, Guo Shao had been in the forbidden army for several years and had no good luck. But since meeting Fu Jinzhan once, he has risen quickly, and many things have gone very smoothly and incredibly smoothly.

Over the years, there have been a lot of storms, and many key places may have problems; But Guo Shao survived those storms. There must be some kind of connection and luck that is just right! Guo Shao felt that he couldn't ruin his luck, so as to bless him to survive the difficulties in front of him!

He was chanting and praying with his hands folded, completely oblivious to his appearance.

As long as there is a little bit of something that may increase his success rate, he believes it, and prefers to believe it rather than believe it. What kind of etiquette can you take care of, to hell!

He was silently chanting: I'm going to kill my enemy! Don't let bad luck and helplessness befall me......

At this moment, Guo Shao is also afraid of death, but what makes him more concerned is indeed the people he loves and cares about. Even though it was a place for him thousands of years ago, these living people had already lived in his heart.

After some fiddling, he put away his things and opened the door. It's just getting dark.

In the morning, Yang Biao was also called to Li Chuyun's mansion, and the three of them had another secret discussion.

However, Guo Shao couldn't stay any longer, and made an appointment with Zan Jurun to go out of Beijing this afternoon to "look for Dan". In the morning, he asked Li Chuyun to send guards to send them back to Guo's mansion. Regarding the trip, Guo Shao made some preparations and deployments last night, of course, not to prepare things for the journey, but something else.

By noon, Zan Jurun came to Guo's mansion with a few entourages. Guo Shao asked the servants to receive and settle the entourage for the time being, and invited Zan Jurun to the living room to talk.

Zan Jurun asked, "Is General Guo ready?" ”

Guo Shao said politely: "It's ready, let's wait a while and we can go."

Zan Jurun breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The rain is light today, and the road is still relatively muddy, but it is better to feel better." ”

"I don't know if the envoy has thought about it, the official family is already in bed and can't even speak clearly, and I heard the eunuch from the palace say that he can't eat for two days." Guo Shao deliberately said more seriously, "Is it difficult for us to complete the mission by walking 800 miles to Huashan in this weather and on this road?" ”

Zan Jurun's face suddenly changed: "What does General Guo mean?" ”

Guo Shao waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, I didn't say that I was going to kill you immediately, let alone threaten your whole family in Tokyo...... Am I not reasoning with the envoy? ”

Zan Jurun's face turned paler.

Guo Shao said: "As long as you listen to me, let's still treat each other politely; When the time comes, you can also put the blame on me and say that I have held you hostage. After all, Envoy Zan is just a civil official, and it's easy for me to hold you hostage as a military general. Do you think I have a point? ”

Zan Jurun nodded solemnly: "It makes sense." ”

After a while, he said solemnly: "I didn't expect General Guo to be excellent in martial arts, and he can also be talented in reasoning. ”

"Where, the envoy has a good reputation." Guo Shao said, "You see how good everyone is to be reasonable, using knives and guns always hurts feelings." ”

"That's that, that's." Zan Jurun nodded and said, "If General Guo has any orders, just say it." Since it is so reasonable, dare not obey it? ”

Guo Shao pondered for a moment and said: "I think so, since Xun Dan is useless, but the holy decree cannot be disobeyed. We're going to have to go, but we're not going today...... How about we leave tomorrow? ”

"That's it?" Zan Jurun glared.

Guo Shao said: "Yes, that's it. However, Envoy Zan has to stay in the house today, and we will go out together tomorrow. It is best to write a letter and ask one of your attendants to take you to the provincial embassy office, and write that after you have come to me to check it, you think that there is a problem with the precautions on the way, and you are afraid of accidents, and advise me to arrange the route and itinerary again, and hurry up early tomorrow. ”

"No problem." Zan Jurun was straightforward.

Guo Shao personally brought pen, ink, paper, and inkstone over at the moment and asked him to write a letter. Zuo You was also watching from the side.

Guo Shao advised again: "Write clearly, it is the envoy that you decide to go out in the morning." ”

Zan Jurun wrote the letter, asked Guo Shao and Zuo You to check it repeatedly and folded it into the envelope, and asked Zan Jurun to take out the seal letter and seal it with lacquer; Then Guo Shao and Zuo You followed together, and sent him to hand it over to an entourage in person, and Zan Jurun also verbally told the entourage.

Then several people watched as the retinue took the horses out of the corner gate. As soon as the man left, Zan Jurun and several of his entourage were invited into a room inside one after another and were locked up.

"If the messenger returns, please come into this house as well." Guo Shao instructed a few people around him, "Tonight, the third brother and Lu Chengyong personally took the guards to watch here, taking turns to be on duty, and they can't make a mistake at a critical moment." It's good to survive tonight. ”

……

In Zhao's mansion, Kuang Yin and Zhao Pu are also together. Kuang Yin has a few staff members and a group of generals, but in addition to official business, he is also reluctant to involve too many people, so he mainly discusses with Zhao Pu.

"Why hasn't Guo Shao left Beijing yet, does he want to delay it like this?" Kuang Yin frowned.

Zhao Pu said: "Someone is quietly staring, and there will be news that will come back." I don't know what the situation is yet...... But rest assured, the queen can't be worried in Jinxiang Palace, and Guo Shao can't do anything famous! If you are in a hurry, you may mess around and kill a few more people. ”

Zhao Pu saw that the lord was silent, and said: "When things come to this point, the outcome is even worse if you don't take risks." Once Empress Fu controls the palace and the center, it will be announced that the world will establish a name, and the forbidden army and the world's soldiers and horses can only obey the military orders of the Privy Council, and it will be difficult for us at that time. ”

"Ugh." Kuang Yin sighed, "Unexpectedly, it has become like this, and now it is too risky...... However, Empress Fu is indeed too powerful, Taizu is Taizu after all, and he was really far-sighted back then! ”

Zhao Pu said: "But we have no choice!" ”

Kuang Yin muttered again: "Troop transfer is also a difficult problem, it is very difficult to handle, and it is easy to have problems."

Zhao Pudao: "So far, I can only push Zhang Yongde up." The lord went to the front of the palace as soon as possible to talk to Zhang Yongde, and it was best to reach an agreement among the generals of the front of the palace. Whether it succeeds or not, Zhang Yongde's dragon robe is added, he is pressed on the top position, and then the lord takes the generals and brothers in to shout long live. In this way, there is a nominal order to mobilize the troops in front of the palace. ”

Kuang Yin was silent.

Zhao Pu said hurriedly: "Zhang Yongde is the capital inspector in front of the palace, and his prestige is high; Coupled with the prestige of the lord and the support of a number of generals, this matter is still very likely to be done! However, the advance planning should be perfected in advance today, so as not to make mistakes in the impromptu busy. ”

Kuang Yin said: "In all actions, it is very important to choose the right time. ”

(At the beginning of the month, the free monthly pass was renewed, and I begged the brothers for encouragement.) ）
