(I want to say a few words to my book friends in my heart, mainly guilt, apologies, and explanations.

I think the worst thing is not to stop the update, but stop the update without saying a word. This is indeed not to despise the readers, but on the contrary, it is mainly to escape without explaining it. 1. Because there are too many apology, the update will be a mentality of being unable to speak. 2. In the later stage of the Lu Xun Academy of Literature, I went to several places in Henan and ran back and forth. After the end, the journey home was a lot of twists and turns, and my friends I met went to home to receive them all the way. I was in a restless mood and was very dissatisfied with writing a few chapters... Every time I thought, I would apologize when I rewritten a chapter tomorrow and uploaded it. As a result, there will be tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow, which will be delayed for several days.

I also actually showed up in the book friend group to explain. Many readers do not read "work-related" and chapter book reviews, so when there is no update, they cannot find a better notification.

1. In the future, if there is a temporary update, I will say in the book review section that will be updated in the last chapter of the book review. 2. Starting tomorrow, update will be resumed, and update at least three times a day to make up for your own mistakes.

Finally, I have to apologize. I am really sorry to everyone. Now that I am going home, there are no travel arrangements in the near future, and the update will return to normal.

...

Back from the riverside to the central army tent, Zhou Xian heard Guo Shao say, "You can live in it for the time being, this is where I slept."

Just like this, a lonely man and a widow and a woman live together in the same room? Zhou Xian felt a little embarrassed and surprised at first, and asked casually: "Where will General Guo live?"

Guo Shao said: "I'm just here to deal with official duties outside. I'll ask the guards to lay some hay to take a bed, blankets and quilts and make do with it. If you're outside, you don't have to be too particular."

Zhou Xian was silent for a while. Thinking about the reason why Guo Shao wanted her to live with him, maybe he felt that it was not safe in a military camp with a lot of men, and her current identity was just a singing girl, so there was nothing wrong with this arrangement.

However, when a woman encounters such a thing, it seems to be a woman's instinct. She first guessed in her heart whether Guo Shao had "unequal thoughts" about her. If she easily agreed to be in the same room with him, she would have no reason to suffer any insults... Who told you to sleep with someone in the same tent?

She silently observed Guo Shao's expression and found that there was something in his eyes that was completely different from Li Yu, the palace maid and eunuch in the palace. Only men with desires had eyes. She understood the love and desires in it. Guo Shao needed himself, even if it was the most primitive desire, but that desire was enough for a woman to become unique in his eyes.

The request at this moment is different from the ambitions that Guo Shao showed when he was on the riverside. With the ambition to expand his territory, he obviously did not consider whether Li Yu and the subjects of the Southern Tang Kingdom were willing; but at this time, Guo Shao's desire was very tolerant, gentle and cautious, with pity in his eyes.

Zhou Xian's heart throbbed, and she felt a little hot on her face. But soon she thought of another thing: the mission of assassinating Guo Shao. The warmth disappeared in an instant, and Zhou Xian also felt the chill coming from somewhere.

Looking at the scene when they met, she felt that Guo Shao had already noticed the malice of sending envoys in the Southern Tang Kingdom, and the biggest danger came from Zhou Xian... but now he let her live together.

Zhou Xian looked slightly. The place where Guo Shao handled official business was separated from the place where he was sleeping, without any obstacles. She could imagine that when he was asleep outside in the middle of the night, the people inside were not defensive to him. Her eyes became quite confused, because Guo Shao's thoughts were actually very meticulous. He should consider such obvious risks, right?

She was thinking about it all, but she forgot to respond clearly to Guo Shao’s arrangements after negligence. So she heard Guo Shao say, “Just do it like this, I’m going out now, you’re resting here.”

Zhou Xian nodded, Guo Shao glanced at her, and said gently: "Don't be afraid, no one will come to this tent to threaten you, I will go back soon."

Such a reminder made her feel a little protected warmth, and her face turned slightly red and she responded "yes".

Guo Shao walked out of the door without looking back. Zhou Xian watched him leave, so he walked a few steps in the tent, then reached out and gently lifted the curtain separated in the middle and walked in. This was where Guo Shao lived, and Zhou Xian felt a masculine atmosphere at first sight.

The smell is not a smell, but a feeling. It is completely different from the trivial things of a woman. This small space is very simple and neat. Two simple sets of clothes are stacked on a box, and there are toothbrushes for washing, green salt and a towel in the box. There is a pillow, bedding, and a book on the bed. There is nothing else, there is no decoration, and everything has its uses.

Zhou Xian stretched out his white fingers and couldn't help but gently stroke these things. She seemed to see how a man lived. This was a living person, not a symbol of revenge and a symbol to be eliminated.

A long time later, she heard Guo Shao's speech outside, and couldn't help but leave her living place and walk to the exit of the tent. In the cold winter, two thick cloths were hung at the door to keep the heat in place. Zhou Xian picked a corner and looked out and saw Guo Shao.

He was surrounded by several guards, and a large group of soldiers who were cooking at the fire, respectfully surrounded him. He was picking up a wooden spoon, scooping a spoonful of soup from the iron pot on the rocky stove, tasting it with relish, and smacking his lips, turning his head and smiling, "It's a little salty."

A soldier next to him with nervousness and excitement on his face stuttered: "We cooked the marinated meat inside."

Guo Shao smiled and said, "No wonder. It tastes better, but it almost doesn't matter. The water needs to be clean, and it will be bad if you eat it badly."

A young man nodded in response like a chicken pecking at rice: "Hey! Hey!" The people around him laughed again.

Guo Shao looked at the soldier who spoke before: "I think you look familiar, it seems that your name is Yao Er? Where is your hometown?"

The soldier hurriedly said, "The little man is in Kaifeng Mansion, really... I really didn't expect that Marshal Guo still remembers me!" At this time, Guo Shao reached out and pulled the crooked shoulder scarf on the soldier's neck straight, patted the other party's shoulder and said, "Do it well."

Then he pointed to the distance and talked to a civil servant. Zhou Xian looked in the direction and saw some straw sheds outside the camp. He knocked on it for a while before he guessed that it might be the cottage built by the soldiers. Sure enough, he heard the voice of the civil servant coming from afar, "My lord, please be at ease. We have arranged for the military generals to be responsible for everything and pay great attention to preventing illness."

Zhou Xian saw that all the small things in the military camp were all small things, but the small things gave her a lot of touch, thinking to herself: Li Yu could not defeat Guo Shao.

In such a chaotic era, Zhou Xian is not unfamiliar with war, but his past knowledge comes from the words written on paper in the memorials. This time, she truly felt that the war was like this in the military camp. The words and deeds of the general and many trivial matters affected the entire army, not just military orders; war was carried out by ordinary soldiers. Guo Shao's performance was to treat the soldiers as people. His smile, his tone, and his actions of helping a lower-level soldier to tidy up his clothes all seemed so sincere... Zhou Xian thought that if he was a small soldier, he would also be willing to work for a general like Guo Shao.

At this moment, a young woman came towards the tent; she lowered her head, but immediately attracted Zhou Xian's attention, mainly because there were almost no women in the army. Zhou Xian also immediately recognized that it was the woman Guo Shaoxuan who came to serve her.

Zhou Xian immediately put down the door curtain and turned around and left the door. After a while, the woman opened the door curtain and walked in. When she saw Zhou Xian, she bent her knees slightly and said, "I have seen my wife."

"What's your name?" Zhou Xian asked at this time. She really didn't know the name of this woman before, nor was she interested in knowing... Perhaps it was Guo Shao's patient attitude to talk to a young master that affected her, and she also had a subtle change in the mentality of a singing girl. People could really influence each other before, and it was easy.

The woman said timidly: "The stage name of my family is Yunniang."

Zhou Xian did not ask questions, she understood that women who are singing girls would not easily say their real surname.

Yunniang said again: "There is a general named Lu Chengyong in this camp to allow my family to enter and exit the central army. Before the day was dark, the family came to collect the dirty clothes they had changed on the road and wash them at the river outside the camp."

Without thinking too much, Zhou Xian turned around and picked up his package and gave Yunniang the changed clothes. The two of them said a few more words and asked each other about their own situation. In such places, women were very inconvenient to bathe, and the weather was cold, but Zhou Xian liked to be clean, so he often changed his clothes.

...The camps of tens of thousands of troops were not crowded together, otherwise it would be difficult to get water, discharge sewage, and select land. The troops turned into many camps and built barriers to station them in turn. The area of ​​the central army camp was not large, and Yunniang quickly left the camp gate, and there was a small river outside. It was almost dusk, and Yunniang drove to do the work quickly. The river water was cold and it was not a good job.

At this moment, another woman also came to the river with a wooden basin and walked straight to the stone beside Yunniang to clean her clothes. Yunniang turned around and saw that she recognized the singing girl who was sent together, but she didn't know her name.

This time, some of the singing girls who were sent were known to each other, but there were also some strange faces. However, everyone was sent to the enemy's military camp on this trip. The future was uncertain, they were both depressed and afraid, and they didn't have the interest to talk along the way. Yunniang still didn't know the name of the woman around her; but she looked very familiar, and what impressed her most was that when the Zhou army was picking people, the woman had taken the initiative to serve the woman chosen by the general.

The woman was absent-minded in washing clothes, as if she was just doing it. She looked back at the back.

Yunniang was curious and thought someone was behind her, so she also looked at her. Not far away, there was an old man walking by the river with expressionless expression, as if he was a soldier standing on the whistle... It seemed that he was coming to stare at the women who were washing clothes, afraid that they would escape; but it was not very similar, because the soldier was at least forty or fifty years old, with a numb face and no sign of lying on his head.

The woman next to her spoke and whispered: "Where are you serving? Do you want to serve the Zhou army commander Guo Shao?"

Yunniang looked at her at a loss, shook her head and said, "I don't know if she will serve her. She was arranged to live in Shuai Guo's tent."

The woman showed a happy expression on her face. She looked back again, quickly handed over a veil and said, "Please put it away and put it in her underwear. When you see the little girl you serve, give her the scarf."

Yunniang didn't know what it was, but she became inexplicably scared. The woman stuffed it into her hand without saying a word, holding her surprise expression, and said coldly: "If you were found by Zhou Junwu, all the people related to it would die, and you wouldn't be able to escape! It's better to do what I said."

Yunniang said tremblingly: "I don't know anything. If you take the things back, I will never report them to you..."
