[Three Kingdoms] Heroine Cultivation Manual
Chapter 51
The letter was written very simply.
Ah Chu spread out the bamboo slips, and there were only two large characters scrawled on it:
Huangfu.
Having been with Guo Jia for more than half a year, Ah Chu knew that he would never say anything without a reason. Since the word "Huangfu" appeared on this reply letter, it was absolutely impossible for her to simply "visit Huangfusong".
After fighting together for so long, with Guo Jia's insight, he should already have a good understanding of Huangfusong.
Huangfusong is a typical loyal minister of the Han Dynasty—according to historical records, in the past two years, when the main force of the Yellow Turbans was suppressed and the world was shocked, some Hanyang people advised him to seize the opportunity, and he resolutely refused.Afterwards, when he returned to Beijing from the battle, he found that the scale of the eunuch's house was not in accordance with the ceremonial system. After reporting to the court, he was framed instead.
How could such a pedantic person question the decision-making of the emperor because of her matters?
"In that case, what exactly does Mr. Guo mean?"
Sitting opposite her, Gao Yue picked up a piece of cucumber and red bean cake produced by Cai's from the table, took a bite slowly, and raised her head to ask.
"I think it should be the battle in Xiliang." Ah Chu frowned and recalled, "There was news at the end of October that the Northwest Qiang was in chaos, but at that time the court was too busy suppressing the rebels to take care of it. Now..."
Now that the Qiang rebellion is intensifying, Xianling Qiang in the northwest and other outsiders have killed Jincheng prefect Chen Yi, and defeated Liangzhou governor Zuochang, which means marching into Chang'an in the south.
Gao Yue got it straight: "Mr. Guo thinks that General Huangfu will be sent to Xiliang to put down the rebellion?"
"The troubles of the Qiang people in our court have a long history, counting from the earliest Qiang people's uprising, it has been almost 80 years.
The Qiang people are brave and cunning every year. Now that the country is unstable, they took advantage of the situation and even killed the captain of the Qiang guard. "
When she said this, she suddenly raised her eyes, realized that she bypassed the furnishings in the house, and stared straight at the heavy snow flying outside the window:
"Huangfu Song's reputation has been greatly shaken because of the suppression of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Everyone in the world knows it. His Majesty may be afraid, so he wants him to go to Liangzhou."
"..."
Gao Yue was speechless.
She used to be the adopted daughter of an eunuch, but now she is a miscellaneous general. She only has eyes for practicing martial arts and training soldiers, and she doesn't know much about the intrigues of the court.She has been following Ah Chu all these years, and she doesn't know when she learned to speculate on the psychology of these politicians. Looking at the indifferent girl's face in front of her, she has nothing to say for a while.
The room fell silent for a while, except for the crackling of the fire in the copper basin. Qin Chu shook his head, crumpled the silk script into a ball and spread it out again, and stood up from the wooden couch:
"Feng Xiao wants me to go to Xiliang with General Huangfu. As long as I stay away from Luoyang, my identity will not be a problem. After a few more years of military merit, Your Majesty will no longer be able to escape the 'definition' of me."
She said, bent slightly, lit the letter with the word "Huangfu" on it, and watched it turn into ashes from the end.
The pedantic and prejudiced dynasty will eventually die out, and any contradiction may become a spark to ignite it. She just needs to wait.
When Gao Yue saw her get up, she also put down the pastry in her hand and stood up. The tacit understanding cultivated during the march made her quickly perceive the intention of the lord. She asked:
"Are you going out? To visit General Huangfusong?"
Ah Chu smiled, revealing two small pointed canine teeth.She shook her head, and raised the cat-head plum blossom hairpin in her hand to Gao Yue: "I'll go and give Fengxiao a thank you gift."
All his life, Qin Chu was only used to carrying swords and guns with both hands, and kept a respectful distance from embroidery and carving.It would be easy for her to draw a Zhu Bajie in the snow with a two-meter-long gun, but when she picked up a knife, the finished product would have a crooked nose and crooked mouth, which is really a bit abstract.
Gao Yue: "..."
Human beings in the 21st century who have received modern art education obviously have a unique set of aesthetics. She seems to have a kind of blind confidence in the dexterity of her hands. Go to the carriage in Buguangli.
Today, Ah Chu took off the short jacket that warriors used to wear, and changed into a thick scarlet skirt, and put on a red cloak. At first glance, it looked really festive.
Since the day Guo Jia met her, she has never seen Ah Chu dressed up as a woman.He came out in a fur coat, opened the door and saw Ah Chu in red, obviously stunned for a moment.
He first thought: "Who is this?"
After taking a closer look, he realized that it was his boss, so he immediately turned sideways to welcome her in, touched his nose unconsciously, and thought to himself, "Is there any happy event that I don't know about recently?"
Doesn't seem to be there?
Ah Chu followed Guo Jia for two steps and saw Dian Wei still dancing his halberds in the yard—according to Guo Jia, he felt that he had nothing to do after returning to Luoyang, and he could only toss around without soldiers practicing. For myself, the rooster crows every day to disturb people's dreams, and I wish I could engrave the word "struggle" on my forehead.
Seeing that Dian Wei seemed to have something to say to Guo Jia, Ah Chu greeted him and entered the study first.
She took off her cloak, unceremoniously pulled the brazier to the side of the couch, and stretched out her hands to keep warm.
As soon as Guo Jia opened the door, he couldn't help smiling when he saw her peaceful appearance.As a temporary resident, he had no choice but to pour her a cup of tea in a hospitable manner, and watched it steam up before pushing it in front of her:
"Isn't my lord planning to stay behind closed doors before spring? Why do you think of Jia's place today?"
As if nothing had happened, Ah Chu bypassed the unlucky topic of "staying behind closed doors", and said with a smile, "I'm here to give Feng Xiao a gift."
Guo Jia glanced at the wine in the corner, but before he opened his mouth, he suddenly saw Ah Chu take out a rugged wooden chopstick from his sleeve.
He weighed it, and felt that this thing should be more than just a chopstick, and waited for the other party to speak predictably.
"I've been peeling wood since this morning. Recently, there are always people who don't have eyes. I pretended to be sick for several days, so I can only peel wood in my room—here, your hairpin."
Guo Jia: "..." It's not a hidden weapon.
He calmly took the cat head hairpin with a sinister appearance, and tried to squeeze out a "ecstatic" expression: "Thank you, my lord!"
Ah Chu said deeply: "Perhaps this kind of advanced art is still too early for some people in this dynasty, but you will understand it one day."
Guo Jia was very grateful: "I think it's better to forget that day. Is this the only thing that the lord is here today?"
There is really no sense of accomplishment dealing with smart people. When Guo Jia wrote that reply letter, he probably guessed that she would come.
"Of course not." When it came to the business, Ah Chu quickly restrained his smile and straightened his back, "I saw Feng Xiao's reply letter. You are right. Luoyang's political affairs are complicated, and there are many people who fish in troubled waters, which will only delay For my important matter, it is indeed the best choice to invite me to Liangzhou. I will write to Huangfu Yizhen in two days.
"—I came today to ask Feng Xiao, would you like to stay in Luoyang and be His Majesty's 'Literary Leader', or would you go with me to the bitter cold border to quell the Qiang chaos?"
Gao Yue has been with her for so long, so he will naturally follow her, but Dian Wei and Guo Jia may not.
The frontier is poor, the Qiang people are brave, and Achu's status is very special. The politicians in the court and China turn a blind eye, thinking that it is a great favor to give her the chance to come out. What about rewards for meritorious deeds?
Follow her, there will only be hard work.
Guo Jia didn't seem to have considered this question. Hearing her speak, he looked at Ah Chu in astonishment. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked:
"My lord, do you think Jiahui is unwilling to accompany you?"
Ah Chu was also startled, and she replied in some confusion:
"Feng Xiao knows my situation."
"..."
She paused, met Guo Jia's flickering light-colored pupils, and sighed softly:
"Feng Xiao, it's not that I'm underestimating myself. This road is full of thorns, how many people are willing to face it?
If you are willing and choose to stay here, you can still be my help; if you travel with me, it will only add to your labor. "
Even for Ah Chu himself, most of the courage to embark on this journey comes from his understanding of "history" itself.If she didn't know that the Han Dynasty was about to fall and the world would eventually be in chaos, she wouldn't easily boast that she would change it.
But other people don't know.How many people in this world abandon their posts because they can't see the future of their lord?Staying in Luoyang, the comfortable capital, might be a good thing for her and her subordinates.
The words have already reached this point, it is impossible for Guo Jia not to understand.He wanted to interrupt her several times, but he still didn't.
Ah Chu was absolutely right.
The important criterion of "the minister also chooses the king" is to see how high the master can stand.
Now that Ah Chu's future is uncertain, following Huangfusong to Xiliang is a last resort, she can consider this point, as a subordinate, she should be euphoric.
however--
"However, the last thing my lord should ask is Jia." Guo Jia stroked the uneven wooden hairpin, rubbed his thumb against the blunt head of the hairpin, and smiled helplessly.
"What Jia said to the lord at the end of the spring still counts today. I follow you because of the path chosen by the lord and the great ambition, so I won't retreat because of the thorns along the way. Isn't it the same for the lord?
"What's more, the proposal to follow General Huangfu came from Jia. How can I watch my lord go to Liangzhou alone? My answer on this matter is this-similar questions, please don't ask me again in the future .”
Ah Chu wanted to correct the "singleness" in his words, and wanted to tell him that Gao Yue was with him, but seeing Guo Jia's serious eyes, he couldn't say anything.As a master, she must be cautious about the unwavering loyalty from her subordinates.
So she also looked back at Guo Jia sincerely, and solemnly put her right hand on the back of his hand, feeling the cool body temperature of the other party, she simply grabbed his hand and said earnestly:
"I already understand Feng Xiao's intentions. There are many hardships and dangers on this journey, and it is my good fortune to have your promise.
Ah Chu is in a predicament now, and he can't promise you anything, only promise, as long as Feng Xiao is under my command, I will treat you wholeheartedly. "
When Guo Jia's hand was caught by her, she could only feel the warmth in the palm of the hand and the back of the hand, which was very subtle, but seeing Ah Chu's expression, he was frank and frank, so he also let go of the subtle discomfort.
He easily pulled his right hand out of her hand, and while his left hand was still being held and Ah Chu hadn't reacted, he grabbed the hairpin on the table and quickly inserted it into Ah Chu's bun.
"I see - the pavilion master is radiant today, really beautiful."
He looked at Ah Chu's hair and the sad cat's head on the hairpin, and praised him with a smile.
Ah Chu spread out the bamboo slips, and there were only two large characters scrawled on it:
Huangfu.
Having been with Guo Jia for more than half a year, Ah Chu knew that he would never say anything without a reason. Since the word "Huangfu" appeared on this reply letter, it was absolutely impossible for her to simply "visit Huangfusong".
