The sunset left the last afterglow in the west, and the light of the entire city gradually dimmed, but the sun set was not the end of the day, but it was just another beginning. The fire outside the city in the northeast soared into the sky, and drums and noise filled the whole city.

When Guo Shao and a team of horse soldiers went out to watch, they saw more than a dozen huge bonfires burning in the open space, which was very hot. Countless soldiers were surrounding the fire, and some people were dancing there with music. The loud singing carried the ancient rough mines, and there were also the shouts and cheers of the soldiers. The whole flat area was full of fun, which was even more lively than the night market.

The atmosphere infected Guo Shao. He led his generals and his personal soldiers to walk towards the largest bonfire in the middle, wanting to see.

The soldiers here were in high spirits. While barbecuing meat and drinking, they watched the lively performance. Guo Shao rode on the horse and looked inside. He saw a group of exposed girls wearing animal skins dancing in a circle. The sound of the skin drums sounded, and they were shaking bells in their hands, singing and dancing, laughing and laughing, so happy.

The legs and waists of those girls were exposed, and they wrapped their chests in animal skins and wore short skirts. They were dressed very exposed in this era, and their skin was covered with sweat in the fire. "Yaah hey, hey..." The song was very rhythmic in the accompaniment, but it seemed that there were no words, or it might be that Guo Shao couldn't understand, just like humans did not have any verbal clamor at the beginning of Hongmeng.

"Okay! OK!" The soldiers were excited and shouted loudly. The girls were also very generous, and were very encouraged by the cheers and watched the crowd watch.

"It's an insulting thing." A civil servant said embarrassedly, "It's so unreasonable. He was so arrogant in public!"

Guo Shao laughed at him: "I think the scene is very energetic."

The clothes of those dancing girls covered the important parts, which of course was nothing to Guo Shao's knowledge. However, their dancing postures may be a bit too bold for the concepts of the Central Plains literati. Guo Shao paid attention to many dance moves including swaying buttocks, deliberately thrusting his chest out, etc.... The skin dress exuded a barbaric and primitive temperament, and the women were dancing lively, and they were roasted by fire, and their sweat was also primitive. Human nature was fully exposed in this uneducated place.

However, Guo Shao admired this kind of atmosphere. A vibrant and vital country should be like this. He personally is not interested in things like Neo-Confucianism.

At this moment, the two soldiers were suddenly pushed into the middle by someone. They were usually careless, but at this time they blushed and looked like young people trying to squeeze back, but were pushed and bustled by a group of people. It is normal for the soldiers to be nervous in front of so many people, and they are not used to it. However, they were caught by the mountain girl and danced in two circles, gradually letting go. At the beginning, they just followed the circle and gradually learned to gesture. People were always easily inspired by the warm atmosphere. Seeing this, everyone laughed and wanted to try to go up and learn to dance the fire.

"Master Guo." Finally someone turned around and saw Guo Shao riding a horse, stood up and held his fists and saluted.

Guo Shao waved his hand and said, "Everyone, don't worry about me. I'll see the fun here, so I'll come over and have fun."

The soldiers welcomed Guo Shao to the front, and the general sitting next to him quickly poured the bowl and toasted Guo Shao. Guo Shao picked up the bowl, looked at the men and women in front of him singing and dancing happily, and said, "Damn!"

"Do it!" The soldiers around him also drank.

Another soldier cut the pork with a knife and handed it over. There are mainly two types of meat to reward the army: goat meat, raw, roasted by itself, and can be eaten half-baked; but the pork is cooked meat, and people may experience it if they are not cooked and eaten.

Guo Shao's face was red, the sound of drums and the sound of shaking jade were shaking, and the singing of the little girls was very nice, and the soldiers around him were also very happy.

At this moment, a smart little lady saw Guo Shao being surrounded by a group of people, so she came up to invite Guo Shao to dance. It was the first time in this era that Guo Shao met such a passionate and generous girl. She felt so warm that she couldn't help but feel so happy that she refused and said, "I can't dance..."

The girl said in a dialect accent: "Sister teaches you."

"Haha..." The generals burst into laughter and started to cheer. Guo Shao had to stand up and walk in front, and was pulled into the circle by a group of girls. He followed him and looked at their steps, and also learned to clumsyly. He also learned to twist his waist and sway his hips, and immediately laughed the onlookers and leaned back and forth.

...Guo Shao was drunk and wandered around. In addition to the soldiers, there were many onlookers, men, women, and young people. This open space was like a party and a festival tonight, which was really interesting.

After a little fun, he didn't stay any more and rode his horse and took his entourage back to the city. The soldiers could have fun until midnight tonight, but Guo Shao couldn't.

He was still "hum" while riding on the horse, humming was the tune that the mountain people couldn't understand. After entering the city gate, he realized his status and stopped humming. When he looked back, the soldiers also smiled.

When I returned to the gate of the county government office, I saw the dilapidated and dark classical buildings in front of me, like a haunted house, which was completely different from the joyous atmosphere just now. Guo Shao's emotions gradually cooled down.

When he returned to Qintang, he saw that it was still early, he found a bunch of things from the package to see. There were military rations and materials, a list of requests sent by military generals, and the sloppy terrain, scenery, enemy deployment and other things he recorded.

At this moment, he found that the letter he had written could not be found... the letter to Fu Jinzhan. He hurriedly searched in the package and thought about it. He remembered that the thing seemed to be placed close to his body. He searched it again in his clothes, where was it?

Maybe he fell somewhere while wandering outside the city just now. Guo Shao frowned and quickly recalled the contents of the letter. It was nothing more than writing love words when he remembered Fu Jinzhan, and recording what he saw and heard along the way... Of course, he did not call the Queen Mother or Jinzhan, but all of them were "you" and "me". When recalling what he had written, it was difficult for others to guess who he wrote to; but because he mentioned what he ordered someone to do, there were other information, others might guess it was Guo Shao's thing... If the soldiers picked it up, they might return it tomorrow; the mountain people didn't know the words.

Guo Shao felt that the problem was not big, but he always felt uneasy and his happiness was destroyed. He picked up the map and recalled his conversation with the county magistrate today. He wanted to roughly outline the rough direction of the road that could lead to Kuizhou on the map, but he couldn't calm down and became very impetuous. He had to give up now.

...The faint noise outside the city is still vaguely heard. The county is not very big, and the county government is near the north. Guo Shao felt a little tired. Maybe it was because he drank alcohol or because he was in high mood. Somehow, the fatigue caused by the rise in the past few days was released.

It is not because of physical fatigue, Guo Shao is much better than the soldiers. Most of him take a boat, and occasionally he rides a horse when he gets ashore as long as the road is a little flat; it is mainly because of his hard work... Until now, the victory is within reach, but he still cannot relax.

Moreover, victory is not stable. Now the plank road in Qutang Gorge has been burned, and there are several sections of rapid and dangerous shoals, which are difficult for navigators to move against the current. Without controlling the two sides of the strait, the boatman may not be able to pull the boat. But he doesn't know what the other road is... If it doesn't work, do you really have to wait for Dong Zunhui's people to use wood to repair the plank road one by one? It will take the year of the monkey and horses to enter Kuizhou?

Guo Shao felt very tired, so he asked Lu Chengyong at the door to pack up his things and go back to the room to go to bed early.

This place is humid and Guo Shao slept too early and could not sleep even after tossing and turning. Tonight, he actually remembered his elder sister a thousand years later, and his emotions became more and more complicated.

It really seems that it has been a long time since Guo Shao came to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. It was the year that Li Shouzhen was killed in the rebellion. It has been eight years since now. He hasn't seen her for eight years... He even dared not miss what his elder sister is doing "now" because she does not exist yet.

Countless past events have come to my mind. In the past, Guo Shao had a strange mentality. When he was very tired, he felt that he could not hold on... he would blame his elder sister for being too kind to him; otherwise he could relax himself and not have to live so tired. Some people were too kind to him, but when he was fragile, it was a psychological burden. Although he was never willing to admit it, he often felt that way.

The emotions are in the entanglement of guilt and cherishment, and even become a little distorted. But now nothing happens anymore, only those thoughts are still left in memory.
