At the gate, he saw a man in his thirties, with big eyes, round forehead, narrow chin, wearing a cloth robe and a hairpin. He first recognized Zuo You, then stopped at Guo Shao's body, and his eyes lit up... It's not because of how handsome Guo Shao looked, this guy might have recognized Guo Shao. According to Zuo You, Luo Yanhuan was also watching that day at Chenqiao Gate.

"Guo Du Envoy?" The big man stepped forward and bowed.

Guo Shao smiled and before he could speak, Zuo You said, "It was the person I mentioned to you last time. Lord, he is Luo Yanhuan."

The big man immediately clasped his fists and his tone became a little excited: "I have seen Guo Duzhi below!"

"Haha!" Guo Shaoxian smiled loudly, and somehow the scene of meeting Zhao Kuangyin for the first time in Gaoping's wounded barracks appeared in his mind. In some situations where there is insufficient experience, people will unconsciously imitate what they see and hear and learn to do it; Guo Shao is no exception. It was the first time he was like this, and of course he remembered his past experiences.

Guo Shao immediately praised him like Zhao Kuangyin praised others, "I have heard of your deeds from Zuo You and took away a thousand war horses that were originally sent to the hands of the Khitans in Youzhou! In the midst of a turbulent and chaotic country, you can understand the righteousness and have the courage to make a decision immediately, which makes me admire you very much!"

"Where, where..." Luo Yanhuan seemed to be getting more and more excited, and his mouth was no longer as straightforward as before.

"General Luo, please come in!" Guo Shao made a cheerful and happy expression.

"I dare not, I dare not." Luo Yanhuan seemed to dare not call him a general, "Guo Dushi went out to greet him in person, and I am really ashamed."

After hearing this, Guo Shao thought to himself that the same general Luo Yanhuan and Yang Biao were a little different.

The group of three walked into the living room. Guo Shao remembered another general Xiang Xun's house to treat him. Xiang Xun's cheerful and joyful look was unpretentious. At that moment, Guo Shao also smiled and suddenly became a hospitality atmosphere. He said as he walked, "As soon as Zuo You mentioned your affairs, I felt respectful and wanted to make friends immediately. Unexpectedly, I heard that you were already in front of the mansion, and I couldn't wait to see the heroic spirit!"

Luo Yanhuan hurriedly replied: "I am really ashamed, ashamed..."

Zuo You said very little at this time, and he just looked at Guo Shao with a smile and calmness.

When he entered the living room, a thick black woman brought a tea tray to serve tea. Luo Yanhuan sat on the chair with only half of her butt and said, "I only think that Guo Du is good to treat his brothers, and I don't want to be so polite and noble, and I don't mind being humble!"

Guo Shao smiled and said, "Apart from beauties, I only treat heroes and heroes well, not to be polite to everyone."

When Luo Yanhuan heard the beauty, he finally couldn't help but look at the thick black woman who had just brought tea to the door. At this moment, maybe Luo Yanhuan was thinking in his mind that the taste of Guo Du was a bit special?

At this time, Luo Yanhuan looked a little impatient, and even stopped talking about Guo Shao, and hurriedly said, "Bizhi remembered a friend, a friend he had known since Jin, and knew very well about his character. If Guo Dushi Xiang treated him honestly, he would have followed him regardless of his life."

"Oh?" Guo Shao said.

Luo Yanhuan continued: "His name is Li Chuyun, and he has been following General Zhe Congruan, who was the governor of Jingnan.... Brother Li's situation has always been relatively difficult, but he is indeed a brave, resourceful and loyal general! During the reign of Emperor Taizu, Mr. Zhe Deliang, the nephew of Mr. Zhe Deliang falsely accused Mr. Li of brother Li, resulting in his demotion and almost being sentenced to prison. Fortunately, Mr. Zhe made a confession to exonerate him, so he was exempted from being punished and then served in Zhe Gong again. However, Brother Li and Mr. Zhe Deliang had not yet ended their grudges, and he was in a very difficult situation now."

Guo Shao asked: "Why did Zhe Deliang use such despicable means as false accusation to deal with generals under Zhe Gong's sect?"

Luo Yanhuan said, "Hey, every man is guilty of having a treasure! Brother Li has a eldest daughter who is very beautiful and has a good reputation from afar. Then Zhe Deliang is a lustful person and has long been coveted. He wants to ask Brother Li to promise him his eldest daughter. However, not to mention that Zhe Deliang is not good at character, which makes Brother Li and his daughter look down on him. Moreover, Zhe Deliang already has eight wives and concubines in his family, and Brother Li's daughter can only be the ninth concubine when he passes the house. Brother Li comes from a general and studies rituals, how can he bear to abandon the pearl in his hand and be a concubine for others?

Zhe Deliang was unable to ask for it. First, he slandered his uncle, Duke Zhe, but Duke Zhe did not believe it, and then he filed a false accusation!"

Guo Shao was also angry when he heard this and said to himself: There is indeed no shortage of all kinds of people in this world.

He calmed down and turned around and asked Zuo You who was completely neglected: "Where is the governor of Jingnan Jiedu?"

Zuo You replied calmly: "It's in Guanzhong, not far from Fengxiang."

Guo Shao said: "We are going to go to Guanzhong. At that time, we will visit Li Chuyun first, so the Lauro brothers will introduce him."

Luo Yanhuan hurriedly said, "I am happy to be honest."

...

Guo Shao did not plan to bring too many people on this trip, but just pretended that he was taking leave from the Guards Office to visit relatives and friends in Guanzhong. Yang Biao, Luo Mengzi, and six personal soldiers, plus Zuo You and Luo Yanhuan. The group of more than ten people happened to be in a light and simple way.

After Jingniang knew about their itinerary, she wanted to travel with Guo Shao. Guo Shao was not sure, and felt that it was inconvenient and unnecessary to take a woman on a long trip.

But Jingniang said she could help. When she returned to Tokyo from Mount Emei last year, she stayed overnight in a mountain in Fengzhou. Out of sympathy, she sponsored a nunnery there and could send people to establish a place to settle down there.

Guo Shao was a little moved after hearing this, and Jing Niang was unyielding, so she might not be able to stop her from following her. So she reluctantly agreed.

They were ready to set off in early August.

More than a thousand miles from Tokyo to Guanzhong, but the team rode their horses and didn't have to travel for a trip, it took only half a month to arrive in Guanzhong. I spent the Mid-Autumn Festival at the post station. In order to seek fame and future, the group left home thousands of miles away but didn't have much emotion. Anyway, most of them were martial artists and didn't have much leisure and elegant interests.

On the way, Guo Shao and others settled at the Qianzhou Post Station. Only then did they remember what Guo Shao was in charge of Qianzhou Governor... After receiving the salary of Qianzhou Governor for several months, the territory he "managed" was actually the first time. As expected, a large group of officials from Qianzhou arrived at the post station in the evening that day, and wanted to welcome Guo Shao to the prefecture first and then inspect the government affairs of each county.

It was difficult to refuse the kindness, so Guo Shao and others had to attend the banquet ordered by the Chief Secretary and other officials. They were inevitable to have fun all kinds of scenes and talk about the drinks... They also provided singing prostitutes to sleep at night, which was simply delivered to Guo Shao and others for selection.

Guo Shao asked Zuo You, sure this was legal. He thought to himself: It's too corrupt...

Seeing the young women swaying in front of them, Guo Shao said that it was difficult for young and passionate Fang Gang to control him. Unfortunately, Jing's mother was by his side, and he thought about it and delayed it.

As for what officials in the prefecture invited to inspect local government affairs, Guo Shao said kindly. What does it have to do with him if the Qianzhou is well-managed? Although the state officials and governors were involved, their responsibilities and political achievements were not considered to be his. Even if Qianzhou was already in chaos and rebelled, Guo Shao was not under pressure. So the next day they bid farewell to the officials and continued to travel west.

First, he went to Fengxiang territory. After discussing with the people he accompanied, he first visited Fengxiang Jiedushi Wang Jing as a respect for etiquette. Then he went to Binzhou to visit Luo Yanhuan's friend Li Chuyun.

Wang Jing still sent someone to warmly entertain his colleagues from Tokyo, but only met him for a while, and then the officials below were accompanied by them. Because Guo Shao was several levels lower than Wang Jing, this should be the case.

Guo Shao and others originally came out of Tokyo to learn about the battlefield terrain and scenery, but it took nearly a month. Apart from being on the road, they were socializing with others at banquets. These human feelings are indeed difficult to omit. As officials in the same dynasty, since they have already arrived on their territory, if they don’t greet them, they will leave a bad reputation inside and outside the court.

Sure enough, once we arrived in Binzhou, we had to spend a whole day asking for the Jiedushi Zhe Congruan, and the reception officials in the Ruan shogunate were talking nonsense.

It was not until the end of August that Luo Yanhuan met his friend first, and then brought his friend Li Chuyun's kind invitation to Guo Shao.

Guo Shao changed into clean clothes at the Binzhou Inn, so he brought his five followers to visit according to the invitation. Except for the six personal soldiers, there were already several people. If the personal soldiers were allowed to have dinner together, there would seem to be too many people in the group... Then Li Chuyun was not Wang Jing. Everyone, like the governor of Zhe Congruan, visited according to the reasons of personal friendship.

Li Chuyun opened the door and went to the gate to wait in person. He thought his position was far inferior to that of Guo Shao, the commander-in-chief of the army.

As soon as Guo Shao and others arrived at the place, they saw a large group of at least twenty or thirty people waiting at the door. Most of them dressed up in literati, dressed in brocade silk, and cloth robes. They looked rich and poor or had gaps, but they didn't look like martial artists. Some people saw that the thin arms and legs were scholars with no strength to tie a chicken. Guo Shao was puzzled at first, thinking that there were so many literati in Li Chuyun's family? Didn't he hear Luo Yanhuan say that he was doing a miserable life, how could he raise many disciples... He soon realized that perhaps these people were not Li Chuyun's disciples, but might be for the grand invitation of the far and near.

Guo Shao came out of Tokyo on this trip and participated in many social engagements. He was already familiar with the general tricks of such occasions. According to the host's idea, the more people there are, the more you can pay attention to the distinguished guests. There are many people at the banquet, and compliments each person can make the atmosphere more joyful.

But Guo Shao guessed wrong again.

When Luo Yanhuan introduced your names and official positions and Li Chuyun came to greet him, he talked about the origin of such a group of people: "Although Li is a martial artist, he is elegant and respects famous scholars. When Mr. Zhe mentioned it, he asked famous scholars from all over the world to come to Jishe to make friends with poetry. I think there are many friends today and it is lively, so I set the day of inviting Guo Dushi to be today, and I hope to forgive him."
