At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Humph.

Thinking in this way, Guo Peng stood at the door of the main hall, which was closed according to his own request. Guo Peng stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the main hall, and a ray of morning sunshine greeted him.

Before I knew it, it was dawn and the sun was out.

The air is still cold, you can feel the chill after taking a breath, but when the sun shines on your body, your heart will be hot.

The troops lined up neatly, the flying flags, and the subordinates who also stared at him with fiery eyes.

Taking a deep breath of the icy air refreshed his whole body, and he turned back into the world's number one prince exuding a strong charisma.

Guo Peng raised Yuan Shu's head.

"The puppet Chen traitor Yuan Shu awarded the title, we won!!!"

Earth-shattering cheers suddenly sounded, as if the entire Shouchun Imperial City had exploded.

The cheers spread from near to far, from the Shouchun Imperial City to the entire Shouchun City, and then spread to the troops outside Shouchun City who did not enter the city and the auxiliary soldiers and civilians.

The cheers of victory were earth-shattering.

This is an extremely significant victory, the impact of this victory will be very far-reaching.

In the east of the city, Xu Chu, who helped Qiao Rui protect his family according to Guo Peng's order, also heard the cheers of victory, so he led his subordinates to cheer together and celebrate the victory.

On the way here, Xu Chu and Qiao Rui encountered a group of defeated soldiers.

Xu Chu led his troops to annihilate them, and escorted Qiao Rui to his general's mansion. Qiao Rui soon came to the door of the cellar, opened the door of the cellar, and took his wife and daughter out of the cellar.

Knowing that Qiao Rui had surrendered to Guo Peng, that Yuan Shu had been defeated, that Chen Guo had perished, and that their family would no longer have to live in fear, Qiao's family wept with joy.

Xu Chu tactfully withdrew, leaving his private space to the Qiao family.

Qiao Rui asked his two daughters to clean themselves up. He and Mrs. Qiao stayed here, and the husband and wife talked about important things.

"I had no choice but to surrender to Guo Zifeng. Before, I fought against Guo Zifeng, defended the city, and killed many of his people. My name is familiar to them. If I surrender like this now, I think life will be difficult in the future.

And it is very likely that he will be squeezed out by his generals. He will treat me preferentially because of my surrender for a while, and give me good treatment, but it is really hard to say how the Qiao family will be treated after a long time. "

Qiao Rui's head was very clear, and she expressed all her worries.

The joy on Mrs. Qiao's face disappeared instantly, and turned into full of worry: "Then what should I do?"

"It's not hard to say it's hard, it's hard to say it's not hard."

Qiao Rui hesitated, remained silent for a while, and then said honestly: "Before, when welcoming Guo Zifeng into the city, Feng Shuyuan talked about our daughter and said that our daughter has national beauty. Guo Zifeng seemed very interested."

Mrs. Qiao suddenly understood.

"Our daughter... wants... wants..."

"I want to discuss with them and send them to Guo Zifeng to serve Guo Zifeng."

Qiao Rui opened the mouth and said: "For us, this is the best way. For Guo Zifeng, if he wants to pacify the Huainan and Jiangbei areas faster, he must win people's hearts. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Let us If my daughter goes to serve Guo Zifeng, the Qiao family will be able to gain a foothold quickly, otherwise, once the limelight passes, I will be a general who betrayed my lord, and my fate will be worrisome."

Mrs. Qiao showed hesitation: "Guo Zifeng is such a big prince, he must be very vicious. Our daughter is weak, how can I serve him?"

"That's not a problem at all."

Qiao Rui shook his head: "After this battle, it is true that Guo Zifeng is the number one vassal in the world, but Guo Zifeng was born in the Guo family of Yingchuan, a son of a noble family, and studied under the great Confucian Lu Zhi. In terms of family status, we are all very high. This opportunity is once in a lifetime, if we miss it, other families will get there first, and the future of our family will not be good!"

Mrs. Qiao was at a loss for words.

Although she loves her daughter dearly, the family is more important. Without the family, the daughters have no way out like lonely ghosts.

Qiao Rui's choice is correct, and this opportunity is extremely rare.

"so be it."

Mrs. Qiao really didn't know how to express the complicated emotions in her heart.

When Qiao Rui and Mrs. Qiao were discussing this matter, the big and small bridge sisters were also whispering to each other.

There was a great chaos in the city before, the two of them hid in the cellar with their mother, listening to the faint sound of war, their faces turned pale with fright, fearing that they would be hurt and died tragically in Shouchun City.

Fortunately, God is merciful, not only the family is saved, but the father also has a new owner, and he has become a member of the winner group, and the family is much safer from now on, and there is no need to worry about it.

During the one-month siege, they did not eat well and sleep well every day, and they were frightened. Both sisters lost weight.

"Finally, we don't have to worry anymore. This month, our family has been completely unstable. Now it's all over. The battle is finally over."

Daqiao breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, looked at his sister Xiaoqiao, and smiled slightly.

"Yeah, I don't have to be afraid at last. I was really scared before. My sister was also scared, right?"

Xiao Qiao sat beside Da Qiao and leaned on her sister: "Chen Guo is gone, His Majesty is gone, it's really terrible."

"Everything is fine now, it's the same as before, and we will be the same as before."

Ohashi stroked his sister's head.

Chapter 449. 440 This deal is very worthwhile in Qiao Rui's view

The two sisters calmed down their previous panic a little bit, and gradually regained their composure.

Then we talked about the topic of Guo Peng.

"Sister, what kind of person do you think Guo Zifeng is? Under his rule, will we really be the same as before? Didn't father always say that he is a traitor?"

"I dare not say such things in the future."

Daqiao's heart tightened, and he looked at his innocent younger sister, and said in a low voice: "From now on, I dare not say a word about it, if it is brought up, our family will be in danger, is this true, do you know?

Let alone the whole Shouchun now, I heard from my father that the whole of Hebei and the Central Plains, except for Xuzhou, are under the control of General Guo, and my father is also working under General Guo's command, so you can't offend General Guo! "

Xiaoqiao pursed his lips and nodded.

"understood."

"You, you are not strict with your mouth."

Daqiao shook his head: "But you must remember that these words must never be said again, they are rotten in your stomach, and you will never mention them again. If you mention them again, your whole family will be implicated by you, do you understand?"

"Understood, understood."

Xiao Qiao hugged Da Qiao tighter: "I heard people say that General Guo is a hero in the world, and later someone said he is a traitor. How can a person be a hero and a traitor at the same time?"

Daqiao doesn't know much about this kind of problem. After all, she is only 17 years old. She is well-behaved under the protection of her parents. She hasn't even talked about her marriage. Very puzzled.

I remember that more than half a year ago, there were praises for Guo Peng everywhere in Shouchun City. Within a few months, there was news that Guo Peng was going to rebel, saying that Guo Peng was going to attack Yuan Shu, so some people called Guo Peng a traitor. But at the same time, some people still say that Guo Peng is a real hero.

Who is he, a hero, or a traitor?

It is not easy to know a person's deeds these days. The speed of people's word of mouth is far from that fast, so it is very difficult to know a person's fame and deeds continuously. A celebrity like Guo Peng who is famous all over the world The quantity is less.

Discussing his deeds, discussing his character, talking about his code of conduct, and predicting his next actions, this kind of thing happens every day in Shouchun City, and it is no wonder that sisters Xiaoqiao feel strange.

Not long after, the two sisters, Xiaoqiao and Xiaoqiao, finished cleaning themselves, changed into clean clothes, and came to see Qiaorui.

On Qiao Rui's side, he had to wait for Guo Peng to take down the imperial city, and then take his family to visit Guo Peng to express his gratitude. At the same time, he asked Guo Peng to take a look at his two daughters to see if he was satisfied.

It's one thing for Guo Peng to be interested, but it's another thing for the two sisters to be included in the mansion.

With Guo Peng's status and power, there will be no shortage of beauties around him. Qiao Rui dare not say that his two daughters will definitely be in Guo Peng's eyes, although he also feels that he has two outstanding daughters. Delighted and loved.

In fact, Qiao Rui even felt that Guo Peng didn't like female sex very much.

It is not surprising that a person with his status has dozens of women and hundreds of maidservants, or any person with his status and power will have a relatively large number of women to show his power.

But he is different, he only has one wife and three concubines, and there are only four women in total.

And I heard that there are no musicians or dancers in the house, and I don't like singing and dancing, so when I have time, I go to the barracks to inspect the training of the army and stay with the big soldiers.

Qiao Rui herself is more than these women.

However, Guo Peng already had four sons, so there was no discussion about it in the society.

Qiao Rui remembered that Han Yin once commented on Guo Peng in front of Yuan Shu.

It is said that Guo Peng is responsible for the five states, there are no women around him, no musicians and dancers, and he does not act extravagantly. He is diligent and thrifty.

With his status, and the money and resources he has in his hands, it is easy to live a luxurious life without worrying about spending, but he suppresses his desires so much, it can only be said that he has bigger plans, and Yuan Shu is advised to be vigilant Guo Peng.

At that time, Yuan Shu trusted Guo Peng, and ignored Han Yin's words at all, and there were indeed many people who spoke well of Guo Peng, so Han Yin's insight was buried in the wind and dust.

But looking at it now, Han Yin really had the foresight, and he saw at a glance that what Guo Peng wanted was far more than money and carnal desire, which was very scary.

If you don't like luxury and women, music and food, then you can only like other things.

that power.

He is a person who absolutely loves power. He is a qualified political animal and a cold-blooded butcher. Apart from power, there seems to be nothing that can tempt him.

Yuan Shu doesn't believe it, and there are not many people who believe it. Until now, everyone still doesn't think so. They just say that Guo Peng is practicing his life motto——

Before the world's worries and worries, after the world's joy and joy.

There are not a few people who are convinced by this sentence.

Similarly, only a few people saw the ambition hidden behind Guo Peng's words.

The world, everything in the world.

Ordinary scholars talk about the world are mostly empty words, they just flaunt themselves and elevate themselves, but in fact they still care about themselves, but Guo Peng really focuses on the world, deploys the world, and cultivates the world deeply. What is his plan?

It doesn't make sense to say that now.

No matter what Guo Peng wants, he is already qualified to own Ji Qingyou, the six states of Yanyu and the Jiangbei part of Yangzhou.

Everyone wants to please him, flatter him, and follow him, so as to gain benefits.

Qiao Rui is no exception.

His power is so great, his power is so hot, if you don't attach to him, who else can you attach to?

No matter who he is, Qiao Rui can only follow him and survive under his protection, otherwise he will be killed as a traitor in minutes.

He can only pray that Guo Peng thinks he is still useful, that Guo Peng thinks his daughter is beautiful and wants to possess her, so that he can feel at ease.

When the huge cheers came, Qiao Rui knew that the dust had settled and everything was a foregone conclusion. Yuan Shu was probably dead.

Shouchun City is about to usher in a wave of bloody political and military cleansing. Whether he can survive it depends on the next wave of operations.

To trade her daughter for honor and survival, and for the future development of the Qiao family, this deal is very worthwhile in Qiao Rui's view.

Not only can the daughter get a good home, but it can also make the Qiao family climb high and become the biggest winner.

So Qiao Rui couldn't wait to look for Xu Chu.

"Lieutenant Xu, when should we go see General Guo?"

Xu Chu looked at Qiao Rui who looked impatient.

"Wait for my news. I have sent someone to find out the news. As long as the lord is free, we will set off."

"Thank you Captain Xu."

Qiao Rui saluted, and Xu Chu returned the salute cautiously.

In fact, Xu Chu somewhat looked down on Qiao Rui, who was the seller seeking glory. However, for Guo Peng, he made a great contribution, and it was a very big contribution.

Secondly, her daughter may become Guo Peng's concubine. If she does, then she should be more cautious about him.

In fact, Xu Chu also felt that Qiao Rui was lucky to have two beautiful daughters.

If Guo Peng is willing to accept, Qiao Rui will be able to reach the sky in one step, and he will be able to reverse his status as a general who is the seller of Qiurong, and become someone that the entire Guo Group cannot treat casually.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be slapping Guo Peng in the face?

At least when Guo Peng is alive, the Qiao family will get everything they want, how can it not be enviable?

The fate of people is really incomprehensible and incomprehensible.

Xu Chu sighed.
