Chapter 42: Love
The next day, Zhang Lang took some time out of his busy schedule to take the whole family and under the escort of the Black Eagle Guard and thousands of Praetorian Guards, he went on a spring outing.
Since ancient times, Jiangnan has been a field of seven mountains, two rivers and one field, and the handsome mountains and clear blue water depend on each other. The mountains in Jiangdong are not as majestic and upright as Mount Tai, nor are they as steep and steep as Mount Shu, but the mountains in the south of the Yangtze River are full of a soft and beautiful spirit, and the feeling of being out of the dust. Green mountains and green waters, birds singing and flowers, a peach orchard scenery.
As soon as he stepped out of the effect, Zhang Yan couldn't wait to let Zhang Lang get out of the car and walk.
Zhang Lang saw that she couldn't sit still in the carriage, so according to Zhang Yan's words, he decided to get out of the carriage and walk.
To Zhang Lang's surprise, Wen Ji and others, who usually don't go out of the gate, also decided to get off the car and walk, no matter how Zhang Lang persuaded them, they were also determined to walk, saying that once they entered the Houmen, it was as deep as the sea, and it was difficult to come out today, so why should they come to enjoy the scenery of Jiangnan her.
Zhang Lang saw that they were so persistent, so he didn't move their intentions, anyway, it's not a big deal, it's still a good thing to let them walk more and exercise their bodies.
Zhang Yan took Zhang Lang's hand, like a bird out of the cage, constantly cheering, shouting, and asking curious questions.
And Zhang Li, who was in Yang Rong's arms, also opened his eyes from time to time, looking left and right, so lively.
The Praetorian Guards had already blocked the line of the place where Zhang Lang was going to visit the suburbs, and everyone was on guard.
Zhang Lang found an open place halfway up the mountain for the soldiers to camp and rest. Because in addition to Yang Rong and Zhao Yu, the Wen Ji daughters, who lacked exercise, were already tired and sweaty, and they were out of breath.
The soldiers quickly made a good place, spread blankets on the green grass, and then made plates of fruit snacks for Zhang Lang and others to quench their thirst and replenish water.
Zhang Lang put his hands behind his head, relaxed his body, lay on the blanket, closed his eyes and felt the breath of nature, and his mood was peaceful.
Zhang Yan was under the care of Han Xue and ran around. will chase butterflies among the cabbage flowers; For a while, I lay on the ground and watched something seriously. The child's heavenly surname is clear at a glance. And Yang Rong and the others chatted on the side, and occasionally there was a soft laugh.
Zhang Lang lay there quietly, occasionally thinking of the distant and blurred world, as well as the distant comrades-in-arms and brothers, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. I have fully integrated into this society, and I have been working hard for it, pursuing, and accomplishing what I could only achieve in my dreams before. If it was before, I wouldn't have believed that there was such a thing, but now it seems that this world is really wonderful.
"What are you thinking? There was a delicate and sweet voice on the side of the voice, and then he suddenly felt an itch in his nostrils, and Zhang Lang sneezed uncontrollably. Zhang Lang didn't have to think about it to know that such a soft and pleasant voice was only available to a beautiful woman like Wen Ji.
Zhang Lang stretched out his hand to grab the soft and boneless hand, only to feel that his hand was cold, and his skin was extremely delicate. Zhang Lang couldn't help but open his eyes, and joked with laughter: "Why did you never expect that the beautiful Cai Da, who is usually dignified and elegant, would also have such a naughty time?" ”
Wen Ji scolded with a smile: "Husband, why haven't you been able to change your bad habit of flamboyance for so many years?" ”
Zhang Lang pulled gently, and Wen Ji fell on Zhang Lang's chest with the momentum. Zhang Lang said with a smile: "Not only have I not changed the good habit of flamboyant tongue, but I also like to eat tofu and oil, and I haven't changed it." ”
I don't know if it was for Zhang Lang to tease, or because of the blood circulation after exercising just now, Cai Wenji's face was ruddy, revealing a seductive brilliance, and she said shyly: "Such an embarrassment is only a matter that only a husband can say proudly." ”
Zhang Lang was happy, and laughed: "That is, if you want to be a playboy, you must first be bold." ”
Wen Ji was obviously in a very good mood for Zhang Lang's crooked reasoning, with a pair of radiant eyes, like a crescent moon, and said with a smile: "It seems that Lord Fujun's ambitions are very ambitious." ”
Zhang Langhao said angrily: "That's it." As soon as he wanted to make an ambitious statement, he heard someone answer and sneered: "Yo, some people are still not satisfied, there are so many wives at home, and they still want to attract flowers and grass outside, are the sisters too spoiled by you, so that your flower intestines are more and more worn out?" ”
When Zhang Lang turned around, he saw Yang Rong holding Zhang Li, with horizontal eyebrows and eyes not far away, like a tigress.
Zhang Lang argued: "No, no, Rong'er, you heard it wrong, I mean that the flowers and plants here are very beautiful, and the scenery is very good." ”
Yang Rong rolled her eyes and said angrily: "You are deaf to me?" ”
Zhang Lang grinned and said, "Where? Your ears are smarter than a cat's, and when the wind blows, you know it clearly. ”
Yang Rong snorted angrily: "You compare me to a cat? ”
Zhang Lang said with a serious face: "How is it possible? Cats aren't as pretty as you are. ”
Yang Rong gritted her teeth angrily, if she hadn't hugged Zhang Li, I believe she would have rushed over immediately.
Zhang Lang smiled crookedly in his stomach, and said in his mouth: "Okay, don't be so serious, just kidding." ”
Yang Rong was originally idle and bored, so she quarreled with Zhang Lang, where would she stop, just wanted to fight back, she saw Zhang Lang suddenly let go of Wen Ji, sat up, and looked behind her with a surprised expression on her face. Yang Rong had always been deceived by Zhang Lang's look before, but at this time, she was on guard and sneered: "It's old-fashioned to use this trick." ”
Zhang Lang didn't reply to Yang Rong's words, but just spit out two words from his mouth with difficulty: "Guo Huan." ”
Yang Rong was shocked, thinking that Zhang Lang was still playing tricks on her, but she saw that Zhang Lang had already stood up with Wen Ji. That's when I looked back in disbelief. Sure enough, Guo Huan, accompanied by a few guards, hurriedly walked here.
Zhang Lang looked at it and wondered a little in his heart: "It's strange, why did she come to me today?" ”
Yang Rong also felt that things were a little unexpected, and walked towards Zhang Lang with Zhang Li in her arms and said, "Is it related to Lu Bu?" ”
Zhang Lang's expression changed, his eyes were open to Guo Huan, and he waited quietly for her to come over.
Soon, Guo Huan, accompanied by the guards, came to Zhang Lang.
It's been a long time since I've seen Guo Huan, but this time the feeling surprised Zhang Lang. Guo Huan has obviously lost weight, his face is no longer as lustrous as before, his white face has a little faint wrinkles, and his bright eyes have become dull. If it weren't for the ruddy face after the walk, I was afraid that her expression would be pale and frightening. Is this still the aura of that youthful Guo Huan?
Yang Rong looked at Zhang Lang, her eyes full of surprise.
Zhang Lang saw that she was short of breath and had a little beads of sweat on her forehead, and couldn't help but care: "Do you want to rest first?" ”
Guo Huan looked at Zhang Lang's eyes very complicated, and his originally lifeless eyes were a little angry. She shook her head decisively and said, "No need, General Zhang, can I talk to you alone?" Guo Huan has something very important to tell you. ”
Zhang Lang's heart sank, every time Guo Huan saw him, he put her in a very humble position, but today is obviously different, because in front of Zhang Lang, she will never call her name directly, it seems that today's matter is not trivial.
Zhang Lang said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's talk over there." Zhang Lang pointed to a place not far away.
Guo Huan didn't pick a place, just nodded and walked over.
Zhang Lang nodded under the concerned gazes of Yang Rong and Wen Ji, and said in a low voice: "It's okay." "After that, I will pass.
Guo Huan waited for Zhang Lang to come over, and said solemnly: "General Zhang, did Lu Bu invite you to his banquet?" ”
Zhang Lang nodded and said softly, "Lu Bu said your name." ”
Guo Huan's delicate body trembled obviously, but he quickly recovered and said: "General, don't go, there is a conspiracy here." ”
Zhang Lang's heart jumped, obviously his guess was not bad, but Guo Huan said it in such an absolute tone, he still obviously felt a little depressed. Zhang Lang said in a deep voice: "What the hell is going on? ”
Guo Huan clarified his head and said: "The matter also started from the general's expedition to Liu Biao last year. The general's army entered Jingzhou in the west, and Zhao Yunnan went to Jiaozhou, and almost all the main forces in Jiangdong were transferred, including civil generals and military ministers, but only Lu Bu was not allowed to go on the expedition, which made him extremely dissatisfied. often borrowed wine to kill his sorrows in the house, insulted the attendants afterwards, and beat the soldiers, saying that he was gradually depressed. At this time, a person appeared out of nowhere, and under the inducement of the cycle, Lu Bu gradually became cheerful, but Guo Huan still found the difference. Lu Bu became even more gloomy and unpredictable, and even Chen Gong sighed several times with his back to him. Originally, Guo Huan didn't expect things to get so bad, just ten years ago, there were suddenly thirty-four more people in the house, all of these people were silent, with gloomy faces, and their weapons never left their hands, and they stayed in the house all day and never went out. Guo Huan thought it was Lu Bu's diner at first, but then he didn't feel like it. Out of curiosity, he asked about Lu Bu, and it happened that he was in a very good mood, so he told me that this was a group of extremely skilled killers, and he also told me that it would not be long before the entire Jiangdong was his. At this time, Guo Huan felt that things were going bad, and Lu Bu obviously had the intention of rebelling, and he had the intention of assassinating the general. As soon as Guo Huan heard that the general was traveling, he thought of the assassins in the mansion, who disappeared early in the morning, and suspected that they were here to stimulate the general, so he hurriedly ran over to tell the general. Guo Huan said so much in one breath, obviously very tired, and his face began to turn pale.
Zhang Lang couldn't help but be angry, forced to calm down and said, "Lu Bu wants to kill me, he is still a lot tender." ”
Guo Huan said anxiously: "The general must not be trusted, it will not be possible today, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accident next time." ”
Zhang Lang sincerely thanked him: "Thank you, Guo Huan. ”
Guo Huan's face was still pale, but it was better than just now, and she said in a low voice: "Maybe for so many years, there is only this sentence, which the general really said to Guo Huan." ”
Zhang Lang only felt a sense of astringency in his heart, and said with a solemn face: "No, some words are never true, but you just treat her as a fake." ”
Guo Huan laughed sadly and said: "Whether it's true or fake, it's only now that Guo Huan feels that he still has some value in life." ”
Zhang Lang noticed her abnormality and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you lately?" Are you sick? You're very weak. ”
Guo Huan said quietly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I haven't slept well in the past ten years." ”
Zhang Lang was shocked in his heart and blurted out: "For Lu Bu's sake? ”
Guo Huanqiang couldn't help but laugh and said: "Okay, general, be more careful yourself, Guo Huan has been out for a while, and he has to go back, otherwise Lu Bu will be suspicious." ”
Zhang Lang is not a fool, Guo Huan is obviously obsessed with herself, otherwise she would not have been so concerned when she heard that Lu Bu was not good for her, and reported to herself. Zhang Lang didn't think about it, and finally said: "Then you must be careful." ”
Guo Huan laughed and said lightly, "Yes." ”
Zhang Lang said: "I'll send you." ”
Guo Huan shook his head and said, "No need." After saying that, Shanshan left.
Zhang Lang watched her back disappear, and couldn't control the question in his heart and asked loudly, "Do you like Lu Bu?" ”
Guo Huan's body was stunned, she pondered for a while, and finally said as if she had made up her mind: "Guo Huan came to see you today, and that is the answer." Guo Huan continued: "Lu Bu can't be used by the general, and the slave and maid also feel very sorry, but there are no regrets. What can be done, the slave and maid have done it all for the general, but if the god doesn't do beauty, things can't be done, so there is no way. ”
Zhang Lang looked at its slightly lonely back, and his heart was flooded with huge waves, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. Guo Huan's feelings, he finally fully understood. For the first time in his life, he felt such a strong shock in his heart. For the first time, Zhang Lang hated what history he knew so much, and he had to be confused by that record. Guo Huan, like Yang Rong's daughters, is deeply in love with his woman. But Guo Huan is different from Yang Rong, she can sacrifice everything for herself, including her delicate body. She gave too much for herself. The funny thing is that she still looks at her with a suspicious attitude, and God is really unfair to her. Zhang Lang muttered: "What stupid, why do you have to make this kind of sacrifice? Are you so sacrificial? I know you're more assertive than the average girl, but you're really wrong about this kind of thing. "Maybe after I solve Lu Bu myself, I should have a good talk with her.
Lu Bu, Lu Bu, this time, you really me off, Zhang Lang said hatefully.
