Chapter 469: The Calm Before the Storm
The days seemed to have calmed down like this, and everything was going on in an orderly manner, but Zhong Xiaoshu had a headache about General Guo's situation.
"Zhige, now that Tianqi and Xichuan have made peace, it's not a matter for General Guo to stay here all the time, so how should he settle it?" Zhong Xiaoshu asked with a sad face.
And Yin Zhige's face on the side also darkened, after all, General Guo is the general of Tianqi, if he stays in Xichuan all the time, he will be gossiped, and it is not good to spread it.
If someone who doesn't know the truth knows, he will think that he is a traitor sent by Tianqi.
"We can't send him back to Tianqi, after all, he can be regarded as escaping from prison with us, if he is sent back, then Emperor Tianqi will definitely punish him.
If he is lucky, he is able-bodied, and if he is not lucky, he will only be in front of the tombstone when he sees him in the future. Yin Zhige had a cold face, thinking of Tianqi's yin damage tricks to deal with people, he only felt a headache.
He can't send General Guo back to Tianqi in public or private, but he can't stay in Xichuan for long.
The two discussed for a long time, but they didn't come up with any good plans.
In the end, Yin Zhige had to sigh deeply, "There is no good way at present, no matter how to ensure General Guo's safety, we can only take one step at a time to see the rest of the things." ”
Zhong Xiaoshu nodded approvingly, and couldn't help but look out the window.
Xichuan has just entered spring, although the weather is still a little cold, but many flowers are blooming, and the swallows are slowly flying back.
The whole of Nishikawa has a sense of vitality.
"Since we haven't figured out how to settle General Guo yet, let's take him for a good walk in Xichuan first, after all, he can only stay here now, and it is estimated that he will not have much chance to come over to play in the future."
Zhong Xiaoshu proposed.
"It's okay, so that General Guo won't be so bored, and maybe his mood will be better when he walks around."
Yin Zhige smiled and nodded, after all, there are too many things that have happened these days, and it should be smooth.
When they got to the street, most of the people walked in the same direction.
At first, Zhong Xiaoshu didn't take this matter to heart, but when she heard the conversation between the two young women around her, she understood.
"The direction of the Peach Blossom Club is this way, let's not go to the wrong place."
"You can rest assured that I will lead the way, I came to this place last year, not far ahead, just go straight for a few hundred meters and turn a corner."
The woman said, then added as if she had thought of something.
"Don't worry, there will be a lot of handsome sons there, if you look at the right eye, you won't have to worry about not being able to get married."
The other woman blushed at what she said, but she didn't refute anything.
Zhong Xiaoshu, who was on the side, heard the conversation between the two throughout the whole process, and after they walked away, she looked at Yin Zhige and General Guo eagerly.
"I heard that the peach blossom festival in Xichuan is held every year, and the scene is very grand, so let's just catch up, or go and see it, right?"
Yin Zhige and General Guo on the side glanced at each other, and then responded in unison.
After saying that, the three of them walked together in the direction of the two women just now.
Because there are a lot of people on the road, most of them are going to participate in the Peach Blossom Festival, so they only have to follow people. Wander away, and don't worry about getting lost at all.
After arriving, Zhong Xiaoshu pulled Yin Zhige around.
Because General Guo is a big man who doesn't like flowers at all, he sits on the stone bench on the side casually and watches others watch, and his heart is also very happy.
He looked around aimlessly, and suddenly, he was attracted by the voice of a woman not far away.
"Cui Xiu, don't fold the flowers, although this flower is beautiful, but the flowering period is too short, it is better to let it bloom on the branches.
Moreover, if everyone who comes to participate in the Peach Blossom Party breaks the branches, then there will be no more Peach Blossom Club, and instead there will be bare tree trunks. ”
Because it was a little far away, General Guo didn't see the woman's appearance clearly, but he could tell from the voice that the other party must be a very gentle person.
"Miss, the slave knows it, and she will follow Miss's teachings in the future, and she will not break flowers and branches again." The maid on the side whispered.
"That's good." After the woman finished speaking, she went in another direction.
But General Guo felt that something seemed to be missing in his heart after the other party left, and this was the first time he had met such a sensible woman.
He couldn't help but sigh as she faded away, and then looked away.
Just as he was losing his soul, a scream suddenly came from not far away.
"Catch the thief, catch the thief."
Hearing this, General Guo hurriedly got up, he looked in the direction of the sound, and found that a person was running towards him quickly, still holding a woman's purse in his hand.
Looking at the approaching figure of the other party, General Guo rushed up without hesitation and snatched the purse in the thief's hand, and trampled the other party on the ground by the way.
"Who are you, you dare to cut off your grandfather's financial route, let me go quickly, I can spare you from death." The thief said arrogantly.
General Guo didn't pay attention to his words, but he increased his strength with a cold face, and the thief suddenly screamed.
The people on the side also hurriedly reported to the official when they saw it, after all, this peach blossom will be very grand, and many dignitaries and nobles have also come.
They all brought their guards, and when they saw that one of the thieves had been captured alive, they immediately had him taken away.
At this time, two women appeared in the grove in the distance, to be precise, one woman slowly came with another woman in her arms.
Looking at it, General Guo was stunned.
Isn't this the woman she just had? Could it be that this purse is hers?
Watching the other party slowly approach, General Guo felt that his heart was about to jump to his throat.
"This son, I really thanked you just now, if it weren't for you, my young lady's purse would have been snatched away." The maid scratched her head, a look of gratitude.
Hearing her say this, General Guo hurriedly handed over the purse in his hand.
"Nothing, nothing, I just don't know, what should this young lady be called?"
"The little woman's surname is Shen." Miss Shen blushed suddenly and whispered.
As soon as her words fell, the maid hurriedly spoke, "Miss, your feet are twisted, don't stand all the time, let's go and rest on the stone bench over there." ”
As he spoke, he helped her young lady to the side.
And General Guo here was still stunned, looking sluggish.
And Zhong Xiaoshu had already rushed over, and he saw everything clearly just now, and he immediately understood.
Could it be that General Guo fell in love with the girl surnamed Shen?
Zhong Xiaoshu suddenly smiled in his heart, it seems that it is not for nothing that General Guo came to Xichuan for a trip!
