The Nameless of the Common Clans

Chang'an, Guo's Mansion.

A few days ago, Li Jue gave Guo Si a group of dancers from the Western Regions. This was not a big deal, and Guo Si thought it was good. These dancers from the Western Regions were fair-skinned and beautiful, very different from the women in the Central Plains. It was also a kind of enjoyment to take them home and watch them every day, but this made Guo Si's wife very uncomfortable.

Li Jue's wife was right. Guo Si's wife was jealous. Li Jue gave these dancers to Guo Si. His original intention was to win over Guo Si and make the relationship between the two more stable. As the two of them are now the most powerful people in the Xiliang Army, as long as the two join forces, Guanzhong will not be in chaos.

Now Fan Chou and Zhang Ji are constantly approaching Chen Mo. According to Li Jue's plan, they are ready to wait another month or two before launching a full-scale attack on Chen Mo. Li Jue thought it was good that his son brought back the dancers to Guo Si two days ago. His son was sensible, but this matter satisfied Guo Si, but made his wife hate him.

The moment the dancer entered the mansion, Guo Si's wife hated Li Jue and had been looking for opportunities to instigate Guo Si to turn against Li Jue in the past few days.

"My husband, please be careful. As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Now my husband and Li Zhiran are in charge of the government together. Is Li Zhiran really willing to share the world with my husband?" The pillow talk never stopped.

Guo Si got up from the couch in annoyance and said, "Madam, you are worrying too much. I have been friends with Zhiran for more than ten years. How could I harm each other?"

"My husband has no such intention, but how can my husband know what Li Jue thinks?" Guo Si's wife also got up from the couch and said in a deep voice, "I just told my husband to be careful. Could it be that I will harm my husband?"

As she said that, she actually cried softly.

Guo Si sat down somewhat irritably, hugged his wife's shoulders and said: "I naturally know that you have no intention to harm me, but you don't understand this military and national affairs."

"I don't understand this military and national affairs, but I know that people's hearts are unpredictable, and I didn't let you turn against General Li. But you are in a high position, so you should be wary. You and I have been married for many years. Would I harm you?"

"I know you are doing this for my own good." Guo Si nodded, and his heart softened a little. His wife followed him when he was a horse thief in his early years. No matter poverty or wealth, she never abandoned him. Although she is a little old and ugly now, Guo Si's feelings for his wife are a little awed. Seeing his wife like this, he naturally felt a little guilty.

"It's good that you understand. I just hope you will pay more attention to everything." Guo Si's wife sobbed.

"Well, it's late at night, go to sleep." Guo Si nodded and lay down with his wife again.

…

In the next few days, Chang'an City was calm, Guo Si was still the same, and his relationship with Li Jue was also good.

In Li Jue's mansion, Li Shi came to his mother and said, "Mom, does the strategy you said really work? The dancer has been sent to Guo Si's mansion for a long time, why is there no movement?"

"The changes in people's hearts are invisible." Li Shi's mother smiled. Based on her understanding of Guo Si's woman, this pillow wind may have started blowing a long time ago. Then, it's time for her to make efforts: "My son, go and invite the witch. Remember, be polite."

Unlike Guo Si, Li Jue didn't pay much attention to his wife's words. On the contrary, Li Jue would believe what these witches said. Li Jue's wife naturally disliked these witches, but it didn't prevent the two sides from joining forces to do something.

Soon, a witch with a dignified and beautiful appearance came in under the guidance of Li Shi, and bowed to Li Jue's wife and said, "Hello, Madam."

"Please stand up quickly, no need to be so polite!" Li Jue's wife smiled and stretched out her hand to help the witch up.

"I wonder what Madam wants to see me for?" Although the witch was respectful to Li Jue's wife, it was mostly superficial.

"I have heard some bad news recently. Someone wants to harm my husband. I have been restless these days. So I ask you to come and tell me whether it is good or bad." After Li Jue's wife had someone send fruits and vegetables, she dismissed everyone and looked at the witch and said in a deep voice.

"Oh?" The witch's eyebrows jumped and she frowned, "How did Madam know?"

"A maid in the Guo Mansion used to serve me, and later my husband gave her to Guo Si." Li Jue's wife frowned and said, "Recently, the maid came to see me and mentioned this matter. Madam Guo seemed to be quite dissatisfied with my husband. I am worried... so I asked you to come and do some divination."

The witch's face became serious when she heard this, and she took out a tortoise shell and several coins from her bosom.

Madam Li Jue watched the other party calculate, but in fact, unlike Li Jue, although Madam Li Jue also felt that this divination made some sense, how much skill could a little girl around 20 years old have? Mostly she was deceived by words. She said these words not because she really wanted to calculate, but to tell the other party the news.

If this girl is a liar, then it will be easier for Li Jue to believe the news through her. As for bribery... Li Jue's wife has never thought about it. This witch is deeply favored by Li Jue. Whatever Li Jue asks for, he will give it to her. If she bribes, it will be easy for this little girl to use her and complain to Li Jue, which will make her feel bad.

The witch calculated several times and frowned, saying: "Madam, this hexagram is not clear. I came here in a hurry and did not bring the magic weapon. This is a serious matter. Please allow me to go back and calculate it several more times with the magic weapon."

"This matter is of great importance. You must calculate it carefully!" Li Jue's wife stood up and bowed to the witch.

"Madam, don't worry." The witch bowed to Li Jue's wife and left in a hurry.

Seeing the witch leaving in a hurry, a sneer gradually appeared on Li Jue's wife's face. The little girl's skills were still too shallow. Why was she so impatient to ask for credit?

"Mother? How is it?" Li Shi saw the witch leave and hurried to his mother to ask.

"Don't worry, there will be a result soon." Mrs. Li Jue said to Li Shi with a smile.

If Guo Si can be killed, Li Jue can control the court alone, which is also a good thing for the Li family.

On the other side, the witch said goodbye to Li Jue's wife and walked out. Li Jue just came back from the court. Seeing the witch in a hurry, he pulled her and asked: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

As he spoke, his hands wandered around the witch in a dishonest way.

"General, don't worry!" The witch quickly held Li Jue's hand and said, "I suddenly felt a palpitation below. The celestial phenomena have changed. It should be due to the general. I need to calculate it carefully."

"Oh?" Li Jue's expression became serious when he heard it, and he said in a deep voice, "I will go with you."

He left with the witch, went to her residence to get the treasure, and invited several Taoist priests who were quite trusted by Li Jue to set up the altar together and start calculating.

It was the first time that Li Jue saw these people so solemn, and he was a little nervous.

After a full hour, the leading Taoist priest suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale.

"Master, why is it so!?" Li Jue was shocked and asked hurriedly.

"It touched the secret of heaven!" The Taoist priest said palely.

"Master, please speak!" Li Jue saw the Taoist priest like this, and the witch and others also looked solemn, and asked hurriedly.

"This matter is indeed the general's, and it is a killing disaster!" The Taoist looked at Li Jue and said in a deep voice.

"Kill... Killing disaster!?" Li Jue looked at the Taoist in disbelief.

"Yes, someone wants to assassinate the general!" The Taoist said with a depressed face: "General, be careful during this period."

"Master, do you know who is harming me?" Li Jue asked.

"According to the hexagram, this person should be nearby, and he is in a high position, with a white tiger by his side. At that time, he was the same as the general in the killing phase, so he should be a general." The Taoist said solemnly.

In a high position, or a general?

Li Jue thought of Guo Si in an instant, and frowned slightly: "Master, are you sure?"

"General, how dare we joke with the general about this kind of thing?" The Taoist said in a deep voice.

Li Jue nodded: "Don't get angry about big things, but this matter is of great importance and must be cautious. Master, go back and rest first, I will deal with this matter."

Everyone nodded and bowed to leave.

In the following days, Li Jue was a little worried. Every day when he went to court, when he looked at Guo Si, he felt that Guo Si's eyes were quite suspicious whether he was talking to him or looking at him. Not only Guo Si, but also the generals and generals in the court were suspicious in Li Jue's eyes.

This day, when Li Jue came back from court, he was about to have dinner, but Guo Si sent someone to deliver a box of wine and food.

"What's wrong with my husband?" The wife, who was bringing the box of wine and food to the table, saw Li Jue staring at the wine and food and asked in confusion.

"Madam, do you think these wine and food are poisoned?" Li Jue frowned.

"My husband is worrying too much." The wife smiled and shook her head and said, "Even if General Guo wants to harm my husband, he won't be so unwise, right?"

"Who can say for sure about this?" Li Jue frowned.

Li Jue's wife shook her head and packed some of her own food and sent it to Guo's house.

"To ensure safety, let others eat." Li Jue said seriously, this matter still needs to be handled with caution.

"My husband is the boss." Li Jue's wife shook her head, but she was secretly happy in her heart. It seems that the witch really doesn't have much skills, and her husband really believes it.

On the other side, after receiving Li Jue's return gift, Guo Si was also a little hesitant, looking at his wife and said: "Madam, do you think there will be no problem with this wine and food?"

Guo Si's wife shook her head, looked at the dishes on the table and pointed to one of the plates and said: "My husband, why are these beans black? Is it poisonous?"

Guo Si didn't recognize this thing either, but black things are indeed easy to make people think of poison, and his face suddenly became bad.

In the next few days, Li and Guo began to become suspicious and suspicious of each other. Li Jue would do divination every time he went to see Guo Si, and Guo Si was also cautious.

A few days later, Li Jue hosted a banquet for Guo Si. Guo Si attended the banquet, and halfway through his meal, he suddenly felt an unbearable abdominal pain. Thinking that Li Jue had poisoned him, he quickly got up and left on the pretext of going to the toilet. After swallowing feces to induce vomiting, he became more convinced that Li Jue wanted to harm him. He left without saying goodbye and gathered troops to kill Li Jue. However, Li Jue was also prepared. From then on, Li and Guo became enemies!
