Goodbye, Daming Mansion.

Guo Shao and his party rode their horses and carriages, heading towards the south gate along the street of the King's Mansion. There were also a group of officials sent from the King's Mansion to see off their farewell. Guo Shao looked back again, clasped his fists to Fu Yanqing at the gate, and waved his hand.

Of course, I can't see Fu Ermei, so she can't come out to see her farewell.

But Guo Shao convinced himself not to be sad, because parting is just accumulating strength for the surprise and joy of the next reunion. He squinted his eyes and looked at the morning clouds in the east. She said: Day is morning clouds, evening is rain, day and night, under the balcony.

The crowd left the city from the south gate and passed the inn by the city. The scene is very different now. The wind and snow that came were no longer there, but only the warm spring breeze, mixed with a hint of chilly spring cold; the willow branches on the moat bank are green, and they are graceful and weak in the wind.

From Daming Prefecture to Tokyo, it takes 400 miles. This time it takes longer because the carriage cannot run fast horses; but Guo Shao has the illusion of being lighter.

It was convenient to stop when you met the inn. Hebei was close to the south, with a dense population and dense towns. Guo Shao made some arrangements on the road, asking Zuo You to take people first and ask him to go back to Guo’s mansion to get something. He also agreed to go to Chenqiaomen to enter Tokyo and meet again at the city gate.

Along the way, Guo Shao was naturally very attentive to Mrs. Gao and treated her as a sibling. When he was staying in the inn, he was even more happy and chatting and laughing.

Guo Shao talked without any concealment about his love for Fu Yanqing's second daughter, and recently wanted to ask a matchmaker to propose marriage. Mrs. Gao was immediately happy: I'll be a matchmaker for you, and I will definitely talk about my brother's favor.

If Mrs. Gao has the status, it would be better to be a matchmaker. Guo Shao naturally had no reason to refuse, and he hit it off immediately.

They arrived at Chenqiaomen and met Zuo You who was waiting there, so they joined forces and sent Mrs. Gao back first. Guo Shao did not send Mrs. Gao to Dong Zunxun's mansion, but went directly to Gao Huaide's house.

Unexpectedly, Gao Huaide was still in the guard office in the south of the city. However, the old slave in the mansion recognized Mrs. Gao, and was surprised and happy. He quickly sent someone to the guard office to find Gao Huaide. He also invited Guo Shao to the door of the mansion and take a seat in the living room.

Guo Shao was not polite, so he waited first. Mrs. Gao was also sitting in the living room and chatting with him... The fatigue of the journey did not affect her interest at all, but seeing the prosperity of Tokyo and the prosperity of Gao's mansion, she must be ready to enjoy her happiness!

After waiting for a long time, he saw a tall and fierce man in his thirties hurried over in his purple robe. Who was it not Gao Huaide?

"Brother!" Mrs. Gao stood up first.

Gao Huaide looked at her with wide eyes, but did not greet her first, but ordered without looking back: "Come here, come and find Dong Zunxun immediately and let him go to my house immediately."

"Sister, you..." Gao Huaide was very excited, "How did you come back?"

Gao smiled with tears in his eyes: "General Guo, the guard, Ma Budu, rescued me from the Liao Kingdom at the risk of his life... Finally, I saw my relatives. I thought I would be like this in my life..." After that, her tears fell and she burst into tears.

Gao Huaide recognized Guo Shao, who was exhausted, and hurriedly stepped forward to kneel down. Guo Shao immediately flashed and held his arms: "I can't do it, Brother Gao..."

"Mr. Guo is very kind, please accept Gao's bowing so that I can feel at ease." Gao Huaide insisted.

Guo Shao said: "I saved Mrs. Gao not to make a contribution. First, I was moved by Dong Zunxun's filial piety. At that time, I was quite moved... The tree wanted to be quiet but the wind did not stop, and my son wanted to support her but the parents were gone. Second, I thought that my sister and mother, the senior general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, had become enemies in Hebei, and I was angry and ashamed. I had to do this! Brother Gao, you and I were the generals of the court, wearing the same robes and armor. I regarded Brother Gao as a brother. If you see me like this again, wouldn't you treat me as a brother?"

Gao Huaide heard him speak, saying one by one, and it was not right to thank him for a while, nor was it not right to not bow. Guo Shao pulled him to the chair and sat down, sighing: "You and I are both martial artists who work hard. Brothers are very important in the battle formation."

"Yes, Brother Guo's words are reasonable." Gao Huaide nodded, "What's more, you and I are in the Guards' Office. Maybe one day we have to rely on each other."

Guo Shao looked serious and talked about this topic about how he and his brother Yang Biao met and how to live and die together on the battlefield. After saying that, he sighed: "That night, we said something. In this world, it is difficult to survive without brothers. If you are in a sea of ​​swords and blood, your back can only be handed over to your brothers who can entrust life and death!"

Gao Huaide said: "During the Battle of Haozhou, Brother Guo first broke through the east gate and then opened the south gate. We have killed the enemy side by side."

"Haha, that's true!" Guo Shao laughed.

The relationship between two military generals who were almost unaware of him increased sharply in just half an hour. Guo Shao could completely believe that Gao Huaide may not be willing to take advantage of himself, but he will never do anything to put down the wrong person, and his emotional tendency will be very obvious. To a certain extent, as long as it is not for others to suppress the entire Gao family, Gao Huaide is also a person who can trust... Guo Shao believes that even if a person is cruel, he will not be willing to repay his grudges.

This kind of relationship is like Li Gu and Guo Shao... Li Gu prepared the raw materials for gunpowder for Guo Shao at a critical moment. Is Guo Shao willing to stab Li Gu in the back? Anyway, he will never be able to do such a thing.

Just then, Dong Zunxun arrived. This kid looked less than two years younger than Guo Shao. He was even more exaggerated. He knelt on the ground and crawled over. A man cried loudly. This scene made Guo Shao feel sour. After all, blood is thicker than water, and people have attached great importance to their family since ancient times.

The mother and son hugged their heads and cried for a while, and Mrs. Gao introduced Guo Shao again.

Dong Zunxun said nothing, "Dong Dong Dong Dong" kowtowed three times, and swore directly: "I owe my benefactor a life. If I can use it in the future, just use it! I will go up to the mountain of swords and go down to the sea of ​​fire, and I will be no human if I frown!"

Guo Shao hurriedly helped him up and said, "What do you do? You should live a good life and be filial to your mother. What if Mrs. Gao gave her a white-haired person to a black-haired person, would she feel good?"

When she said this, Gao looked slightly, as if she said that her hair was not white yet.

She said, "General Guo recognizes me as his sister and is also known to your uncle and brother. Just call him uncle."

"Uncle!" Dong Zunxun is really a straight-hearted guy.

Guo Shao's forehead turned slightly black. The boy seemed to be a little younger than him, but he was about the same age. He blurted out: "I am a uncle... I feel a little uncomfortable when you scream."

"Haha..." Gao Huaide was also happy, laughed, and slapped the coffee table, "Brother Guo stayed tonight, and he would not return without getting drunk, so we brothers talk happily!"

Guo Shao said: "Another day, another day. Sister Yi just came back, and your family will talk more. You and my brothers will meet often in the future, and the future will be long. In this way... I won't stay for a long time, so don't be polite, so I will say goodbye."

The family sent Guo Shao outside the gate and watched him leave on a horse.

After leaving for a while and the surroundings were relatively quiet, Guo Shao then found out the list in his arms. It was the thing that asked Zuo You to go back in advance to get.

Seeing this, Zuo You rode his horse and walked side by side: "Didn't the lord give this thing to Gao Huaide?"

Guo Shao said: "As soon as I entered Gao Mansion, their family treated me more than expected. I decided to endure it first. If we ask Gao Huaide to help immediately, our utilitarianism is a bit too obvious... In short, the senses are not very good."

"That's true. If Gao Huaide could treat his lord as his own, the future would be long." Zuo You nodded.

Guo Shao smiled and said, "I said the same thing in my mansion, and I said it will take a long time to go."

Guo Shao looked at the list on the paper again... After the Battle of Shouzhou, Li Chongjin made things difficult for him, rejected Guo Shao's appointment list, and then sent someone to send a document in the name of the Guards Department. The document included dozens of middle and low-level military generals selected by Li Chongjin.

That's good. Li Chongjin directly exposed his power foundation. At least a large part of his subordinates, there is no need to worry about investigating it.

Although Li Chongjin is still the first commander of the Guards Department, he is a military governor in Huainan and cannot control the affairs of the Guards Department. If he doesn't help him clean up the door, he will be sorry for himself.

If Guo Shao doesn't move the general, he will move the foundation of the bottom. It will be calm and there will be no trouble. He was so difficult in Shouzhou, but he only got through it with his head... At that time, he took the blame and interfered in various ways, and suppressed Guo Shao was the main one. Guo Shao thought to himself: It's impolite to come but not go, why should I be polite to you?

Anyway, the grudges have already been formed, so it is not something you can resolve by showing weakness, so you can simply give up.

Guo Shao turned to Zuo You and said, "The Southern Tang soldiers surrendered in Huainan, of which more than 20,000 were organized into Huaide's army and were also under the jurisdiction of our Guards. Before I set out for Hebei at the beginning of the year, I had heard of them in the Guards' Office. But it was difficult to do it at that time, and there was no time left. This time, Gao Huaide was willing to help, and the task would go smoothly."

Zuo You said: "It is a good idea to send all the people who were Li Chongjin in the right wing to the Huaide army, and to advance openly and secretly, and let them go there. Huaide army is a surrendered soldier in the Southern Tang Dynasty, so it will definitely be guarded and has no combat power. Li Chongjin's people will at least be excluded from the elite troops of the Guards."

Guo Shao nodded with great satisfaction: "That's right, the Huaide Army was under the jurisdiction of the Guards, so we had to transfer some people over. No one wanted to go. If that guy (Li Chongjin) didn't go, who would go?"

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, but it seemed a bit like a traitor.

"Go back to the house first, let's talk about it another day." Guo Shao said, then he grabbed the horse's belly and shouted, "Go!"

The group passed through the north and south streets of the inner city. Guo Shao looked at the wide road and couldn't help but look south... He was still raiding the iron on Longjin Bridge two years ago and was the leader of the imperial guards. The first chance for promotion was in spring, and the spring of the previous year... Before he knew it, two years had passed.
Chapter completed!
