Xiaoqi

In an instant, bitterness, misery, loneliness, loneliness and other feelings rushed into Zhen's heart, causing her eyes to be sour, and two strings of sad tears fell from the corners of her eyes.Immediately she hurried downstairs.Just when she was about to lose sight of the scene upstairs, she glanced back inexplicably, gave Li Li a complicated look, then turned her head and took her four daughters straight out of the tavern.

The footsteps of Zhen's mother and daughter going downstairs did not at all affect Li Li and Guo Jia's interest in talking about women's romance.Still interested.

"It turns out that those five women just now are not brother Wenchang's wives and concubines! That's good, it shows that my brother still has hope of getting a share of the pie!" Guo Jia said with a big tongue.

Li Li leaned against the window with his face flushed.He hurriedly asked casually: "What do you mean by this brother? Could it be that you also have a crush on the daughter of the Zhen family?"

"Brother Wenchang guessed it right at the first glance. His eyesight is extraordinary. It's really amazing!" Guo Jia nodded happily, and said plausibly: "There is a saying in the Book of Songs: A gentle lady is a gentleman. My younger brother has not yet married a wife, and he is still a poor scholar. I am fortunate to meet such a beautiful woman today. How can I not think about it, but love it!"

Li Li was stunned: "This is very difficult. Brother, to be honest, four of the five mothers and daughters of Zhen's mother and daughter have their own names. Now, brother, you have to get involved. Things are not going well. Yes! Although I hit it off with my virtuous brother at first sight, we must keep our promises and not break our promises. I don’t know which woman my virtuous brother is looking for?"

"It's the little lady behind Mrs. Zhen!" Guo Jia said directly without concealment.

"Zhen Jiang!" Li Li said the name immediately, and then he let out a long sigh, and said with a smile: "Okay, very good, very good! Zhen Jiang is the eldest daughter of the Zhen family, not born, but adopted. Under the name of the Zhen family, a famous lady from a family, my virtuous brother has good eyesight! Hehehe"

"Brother said that there is still hope!" Guo Jia said with a look of surprise.

Li Li nodded and smiled and said: "Of course there is hope! But brother can win the heart of a beautiful woman, but it is not up to brother. If you want to embrace a beautiful woman, you have to work hard on your own. Brother can help you matchmaker, But there is no guarantee that Miss Zhen will definitely agree! Brother Xian said, is that the case?"

"Hahaha! Big brother speaks quickly, and little brother respects big brother!" Amidst loud laughter, Guo Jia and Li Li held up a drink together.

After drinking, Guo Jia went to Li Li's side, and asked in a low voice narrowly: "Do you like Zhen, brother? But brother himself said just now that she is a widow, and her daughter is so old. Since then, brother still remembers her. Is there something wrong with her?"

"Hahaha!" Li Li laughed loudly when he heard the words: "My dear brother doesn't know. The four daughters behind the Zhen family are not her own daughters, they just regard her as their mother, and that's all. , Mrs. Zhen is only 29 years old, this is what her youngest daughter Zhen Mi told me in secret. The reason why my brother asks this question is because he wants to say, widow Kefu, widow is an ominous person?"

Guo Jia nodded in astonishment, and said: "Brother Mingjian, my younger brother has exactly this intention. Widows are inauspicious. This is an admonition from ancient times. I, Guo Jia, did not speculate on my own. Please don't blame me."

"Hehehe! Brother, you don't have to be like this, and you are not a stingy person." Li Lixin smiled and said: "Of course the ancient sayings are reasonable, otherwise they would not have been handed down to this day. Brother knows this But I believe that everything depends on man's effort, and man will conquer nature!

What about widows?The widow is lonely, and she can better appreciate the cruelty of the world, and know how to cherish the hard-won happy life.What's more, Mrs. Zhen is still a beautiful woman in her young age.Others are afraid that the widow is inauspicious. It is because he is not confident enough, and he does not have the courage and strength to deter strange powers and chaotic gods, but I am not among them! "

"So, brother wants to face the difficulties?" Guo Jia asked very curiously.

Li Li's expression trembled slightly, his red eyes slightly opened, and he smiled strangely and meaningfully.Immediately, he said vaguely: "My dear brother, you only need to know what's in your mind, don't talk about this matter, don't talk about it! Come on, my dear brother, let's continue to drink, after drinking half of the jar of wine, we will go back to the inn to rest!"

Afterwards, the two talked about their love affair, talked about the world, talked about the past and the present, without any scruples, and they were unconstrained.Until the three altars of fine wine from Jiuquan were completely drunk, the two of them were already very drunk and fell asleep lying on the wine table.

A group of travel, overview of the great mountains and rivers.

A chance encounter stirred up the vicissitudes of the world.

A soft word can touch the heart of a beauty.

A hangover, how many smoke clouds were set off.

It is rare to get drunk a few times in life, and it is already dawn when I wake up from a good dream.

The sun was shining in front of the window, Li Li opened his eyes and saw Ma Yunluo standing in front of the couch, looking at him with blurred eyes.

Seeing Ma Yunluo's beautiful face, Li Li smiled knowingly at her, then shook his head. The aftereffects of the hangover were still there, his head was heavy, and he felt muddled.

"Has Guo Jia woke up? Did you say anything?"

Hearing Li Li mentioning Guo Jia, Ma Yunluo's face suddenly showed a look of displeasure, as if she was still bitter about Guo Jia's comment on Li Li's treachery last night, and she still remembered Guo Jia. "He also just woke up and wrote a letter. He should be packed up and ready to go now. Son, I still can't figure it out. He is just a poor scholar. Why do you take care of him like this? Besides, he doesn't know Anyway, in front of you last night, I commented on you and cursed at you; if you didn't seem to treat him very politely, I would have thrown him out of the window last night and killed him!"

"Hehehe!" Li Li said with a laugh, "Yunluo, you can't just look at people on the surface, and you can't judge people by their appearance. You should treat some people with perverted behaviors rationally. Such people are often very talented and talented. Now, Guo Jia, whom you hate so much, is exactly this kind of person. This person has extraordinary knowledge, perverse behavior, unrestrained, but extremely talented. His talent and learning may not be inferior to that of military adviser Jia Xu. So, from now on , you can't lose your temper with him, play your temper, let alone turn angry. In addition, from today on, you are my Li Li's woman, the ninth concubine, just call me Wenchang, and don't wear men's clothes anymore. When the children's caravan set off, you and Mrs. Zhen will ride in the carriage. I told Yuan Zhong to prepare these yesterday, and he must have done it by now."

Hearing Li Li's words, Ma Yunluo blushed immediately, and lowered her head shyly, not daring to look up at Li Li.In fact, long before the departure of the tour, her status as Li Li's concubine had already been decided, which was agreed by Li Xin and other eight wives and concubines.It's just that she and Li Li are not yet husband and wife, so she has been following Li Li as a personal maid, but she has long regarded herself as Li Li's woman in her heart.Until Li Li personally confirmed her identity now, her heart that had been suspended for a long time finally fell to the ground.

After the bath, Li Li ate the breakfast that Ma Yunluo had prepared long ago, and then strode out of the Dongkua courtyard, heading straight for the caravan in the backyard of the inn.

"Brother Wenchang slept soundly last night? Now you are long overdue, and you sleep until you wake up naturally, which is enviable!" Seeing Li Li enter the courtyard, the energetic Guo Jia came up to welcome him and said with a smile.

Li Li nodded with a smile: "What Feng Xiao said is very true. In troubled times, it is a blessing in life to be able to live comfortably, to be safe, and to sleep until you wake up naturally! Last night, Feng Xiao was so drunk that he woke up in high spirits this morning. , there is no sign of a hangover at all, what a stranger! Hehehe"

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Brother Wenchang and I are in the same direction. When it comes to drinking, this may be the only difference between me and Brother Wenchang. I usually have a good time without alcohol and often get drunk. Over time, after a hangover You'll be fine when you wake up."

While talking with Guo Jia, Li Li smiled and nodded to the mother and daughter of the Zhen family, and then a group of people drove two carriages and five trucks against the rising sun and set off again.

Chapter 418

On the official road to Zhongshan Country.

Guo Jia rode a Xiliang war horse and followed the carriage slowly. He seemed to look normal, but his heart was extremely shocked, like a stormy sea, he was inexplicably astonished.

With his eyesight and knowledge, he could see that in the caravan, except for the [-] retinues, the horses ridden by the other [-] people were all the best Xiliang horses without thinking about it.

It is just an ordinary caravan, but there are more than 30 Xiliang war horses, what does this mean, as long as you are not a fool, you can think that this group of people is not easy.

Is Guo Jia a fool? Obviously not.

If he is a fool, there are still a few people in the world who can be called smart.

Therefore, Guo Jia couldn't help feeling suspicious, and carefully sized up Zheng Feng's group, his movements were extremely concealed, he didn't turn his head to look around, and only used the corner of his eye to observe indistinctly.

Yesterday he traveled repeatedly, and by chance, he met Zheng Feng, Li Zhong and Yun Luo.At that time, he didn't think too much, and he didn't deliberately observe the other party. He thought he was just passing by, so why would he look at people with colored eyes wherever he went.It just so happened that Zheng Feng and others were extremely enthusiastic, donating money with righteousness, and not sticking to trivial matters. Such people fit Guo Jia's own personality very well.So he had a sudden fondness for Zheng Feng, and he neither concealed his name nor ambiguously and concealed his words during the conversation.In addition, his official career was frustrated, he didn't know who he was, and he mistakenly joined Yuan Shao's command. As a result, instead of being able to show his talent and ambition, he was blinded and humiliated.When he was depressed, it was a blessing in his life to meet such a cheerful and straightforward person as Zheng Feng.

So under Zheng Feng's intentional guidance, Guo Jia acted according to his will, answered every question, and talked freely.As a result, he was negligent and "deceived".

After some conversation.Guo Jia almost explained his background and current situation clearly, but he failed to figure out the background and identity of Zheng Feng and others. He only knew the names of Zheng Feng and the others, that's all.For Guo Jia, who has always been shrewd, this is undoubtedly an extremely absurd thing, and it can even be said to be unimaginable.It wasn't until he woke up early in the morning that he suddenly realized, but it was too late, and he had already boarded the "thief ship" and could not get out.

this morning.While Guo Jia was sleeping soundly, Li Zhong, who had been drinking with him last night, pushed in the door, woke him up from the bed, and asked him to write a letter to his mother who was far away in Yingchuan. off the shelf.Guo Jia, who was sleeping in a daze, was woken up immediately.He wanted to refuse when he opened his mouth, but he saw a few burly men at the door with two attendants who had been with him all year round.These two attendants are his main family.Know him from the ground up.He was the one who brought the two of them to Yuan Shao's command.

Seeing such a scene, if Guo Jia still can't understand, then he is really a fool.Obviously, even if there is no letter written by him himself, Li Zhong can go to Yingchuan to find his mother as long as he sends someone with his two entourages, and then forcibly takes her away.at this point.Instead of worrying his mother, he might as well write a handwritten letter to these people, so that they can pick up his mother smoothly.

After writing the letter, Guo Jia knew he was done.Inexplicably, he got on a thief ship, and he didn't know who these "robbers" were and where they wanted to take him.

Such absurd things made it difficult for Guo Jia, who was conceited to be extremely intelligent and talented to help the world, to accept for a while, his mind was buzzing, and he was confused.It wasn't until Miss Yunluo knocked on the door and invited him to have breakfast that he gradually came back to his senses, and tried to test the beautiful woman named Yunluo, but unexpectedly, she gave him an extremely displeased glaring look, said nothing, and followed He walks away.Seeing this, Guo Jia was very bored, so he had to eat a few mouthfuls of food, and then followed the followers at the door to the caravan in the backyard.

As soon as he walked into the backyard, Guo Jia suddenly had an illusion, as if he had walked into a heavily guarded supply camp.The burly men who had already harnessed the carriage gave him a very sharp look in their eyes; just this one glance made him feel like he was being stared at by a beast, and suddenly he trembled all over his body, and he was keenly aware of the dangers of these big men. His fierce and murderous aura must have been battle-tested.Kill countless ferocious warriors.Especially those two tall men who were over a meter tall, their eyes seemed ordinary, but they put tremendous pressure on him, making him feel suffocated and unable to breathe.

It wasn't until the mother and daughter Zhen walked into the backyard that Guo Jia felt a lot more relaxed.Those ferocious men did not continue to stare at him, but approached Zhen's group of six with wide smiles, showing great hospitality.

However, Guo Jia is Guo Jia after all.After the sudden change, he quickly adjusted his mentality, thought calmly, listened more and talked less, responded to all changes with the same, and waited and watched the development of the situation.Because he was sure of one thing in his heart, that is, Zheng Feng tried every means to deceive himself to stay, definitely not to harm him, but for another purpose.

Therefore, when he saw Zheng Feng's late arrival, he greeted Zheng Feng as usual, talking and laughing like last night, without any change.

However, Guo Jia didn't realize that the more he behaved, the more Li Li quickly noticed his abnormality and drastic mentality change.

"Da da da!"

On the official road, when Guo Jia carefully observed the caravan and his party, Li Li also observed him intentionally or unconsciously.Immediately, Li Li rode his horse to Guo Jia's side, kept pace with him, and fell behind the caravan: "Does Feng Xiao feel that it is abnormal that there are so many Xiliang war horses in the caravan? Actually, the matter is very simple. It was my accompanying escort on a trip, yesterday on the mountain road, I encountered the Zhen family caravan being robbed by black bandits, so I rescued it, and then my escort escorted the caravan to Zhongshan along the way."

"Oh, so that's the case." Guo Jia nodded happily, and said, "It seems that Brother Wenchang's family is rich, and there are so many fierce guards protecting him along the way when he travels, and the horses they sit on are all the best horses in Xiliang, and the weapons they hold are also good. It is very excellent. From this we can see that Brother Wenchang's mansion is expensive if not rich, and he must be a famous nobleman!"

"Hehehe!" Li Li shook his head with a smile, and said, "Feng Xiao's words are only half right. I am from Beidi County, Liangzhou, and I was born in a common people's family. I followed my father. I have been dependent on my younger brother since I was a child. Fortunately, my uncle treated me and my younger brother as if they were his own. He loved and raised my two brothers. When I was 15 years old, I joined the army and fought in the battlefield since then; 16 I was promoted to the Sima of another department at the age of [-], and since then I have led a battalion of troops to conquer the east and west. The battle is endless. Therefore, some people say that I am warlike and aggressive; Unfaithful and unfilial, treacherous and cunning. In short, no matter what others think of me, I am still me and have not changed from beginning to end.

I have fought continuously for several years, but I have never traveled to the north and south of the river. This time I took advantage of my spare time.Go out and explore.Take a good look at the great rivers and mountains of my Han nationality, and go deep into the folks to see the customs and customs of various places. This can not only increase your knowledge, but also observe the changes in the situation in various states and counties.But I can't help myself now, my life is no longer mine alone.It's directly connected to the future of a group of subordinates, so even if I don't want to bring guards on this trip.Go alone.However, the soldiers under his command and the wives and concubines at home refused to agree.Therefore, the scene that Feng Xiao saw now was very ostentatious. Fortunately, there was the Zhen family caravan as a cover, which could somewhat block some people's sight, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.So explain.I don't know if Feng Xiao is still satisfied, can I feel relieved? "
