The sky is getting darker, and the rainy night comes extra quickly. At Guo's Mansion, the poke lamps inserted in the gates and the lanterns in the corridor under the eaves were lit one after another, shining on the wet floor tiles, glowing with cold water.
The rain is getting lighter, and the light rain floats diagonally in the air, but it still doesn't stop.
In the hall, Guo Shao, Zuo You, Cao Tai, and Jingniang were all carrying a piece of wood to sculpt, only to hear the "creaking" of sawdust. Guo Shao finished the carving first, took it carefully and dipped it in the ink pond, then covered it on a piece of white paper, and suddenly a red square mark appeared.
He asked Cao Tai: "Is the queen's private seal like this?"
"It looks very similar at first glance." Cao Tai said, "But it is still easy to see that here, here... is not flat enough."
Guo Shao said: "I can't imitate it in a hurry. I haven't seen the queen's seal anyway. I guess most people have never seen it. It's probably the case..." He glanced at Cao Tai. With less than half of the wood carved in his hand, he said, "You repair me, I am strong and responsible for carving."
Cao Tai said: "It's okay. The queen's seal is inlaid with gold and jade, which just happens to be polished and smooth."
The printed font was drawn by Cao Tai according to memory first, and everyone engraved it. There must be a difference between the effect of the real seal, and it will immediately show the original shape when compared with the real seal; but it does not matter, as long as you can bluff someone you haven't seen before, and others have no chance to compare.
There is also Cao Tai imitating the handwriting of the queen to write the decree, the handwriting cannot be exactly the same. But identification is equally difficult.
"The queen's big seal was left from the previous dynasty, but she has her own private seal, but she has never seen it before... The seal drawn by the miscellaneous family now is what the queen's private seal looks like." Cao Tai thought for a while and said affirmatively, "The miscellaneous family has been with the Queen Empress since Yedu, and she has never seen her use private printing. The handwriting is nowhere to be found. She has never taken out what she wrote in her own hand, it is all oral. Purpose."
Guo Shao nodded and said: "That's true. I haven't seen the Queen's words or words, and I haven't even seen the words she wrote."
Cao Tai said: "So unless you give it to the empress for personal screening, outsiders will not be able to tell the truth."
Guo Shao said: "It would be better to call the Queen Screening."
A few people didn't care about eating. Later, when they were hungry, they asked Jingniang to go to the kitchen to get some pastries in. Everyone filled their hunger with tea. After busy working like this until the evening, Guo Shao felt that the "corrective decree" was forged almost like that, so he asked people to prepare chariots and horses to guard.
At the moment, Cao Tai Zuoyou, who was carrying Cao Tai, waited on a carriage and left the mansion under the **** of a horse team. There have been one or two hundred people in Guo Shao's mansion for a long time, and there are many contacts, but they are afraid that they have been stared at.
There are sentries around his mansion, but no suspicious eyeliner has been found. I don't know how Zhao Kuangyin deployed it or whether he had an intelligence eyeliner, but he must be careful.
Guo Shao rushed to the west of the city directly. It's night in Tokyo, and there are still some pedestrians on the street. The city gates have long been closed, but the city can still travel unimpeded... After the disintegration of the city and square urban structure in the Tang Dynasty, there were no separate and closed squares to promote commercial development. (So you can still do business in the streets and lanes without going to the East and West cities.)
There are still official shops on the streets to maintain public order, but officials do not care about the nobles.
Guo Shao's team went to Chen Jiali Mansion in the west of the city! At this time, even if Zhao Kuangyin's people spread out the intelligence eyeliner like Guo Shao, then he must have not paid attention to Madam Chen...A merchant, is it worth the effort to guard? Guo Shao has not had any contact with Mrs. Chen after the recent tense situation, showing no sign.
Guo Shao asked someone to knock on the door and handed in his greeting card. After a while, the corner door opened, and Aunt Sun came out, looking at the carriages and horses parked at the door. Guo Shao walked out, and the long pole he was carrying poked the light. Guo Shao raised the umbrella above his head. Aunt Sun immediately recognized Guo Shao and hurriedly bowed her knees and said, "Unexpectedly, General Guo is coming now..."
"It is indeed too late, which caused a lot of inconvenience to Madam Chen. But if you have important matters, you must see Madam Chen. I don't know if you can? I will leave as soon as I meet." Guo Shao said sincerely.
Aunt Sun hesitated slightly, and said hurriedly: "General Guo, forgive me, it is true at night...You wait for a while, and the slave family will ask Mrs."
Not long after, Aunt Sun returned and said: "General Guo, please."
Guo Shao and the others entered the mansion under an umbrella, and then left some people at the door, and entered the main hall of the courtyard with Cao Tai and others. Guo Shao has been to this place.
Sun Auntie said: "General Guo and you are here for a while, I will ask someone to have tea, and my wife will be there soon." After he said, I glanced at Zuo You and Cao Tai, and probably thought they were men.
This Madam Chen is still so hypocritical, but it is not easy for people to let Guo Shao into the house at night.
Guo Shao saw the servants in the hall, and said: "Please take us to Mrs. Chen immediately."
After that, I walked through the small door inside, which was very unreasonable. Mrs. Chen came out through that door last time. Aunt Sun was not good at forcibly blocking, so she hurriedly followed. Guo Shao walked out of the small door, only to see a corridor with a few huts next to it. Madam Chen and several maids have already arrived in the corridor.
Ms. Chen was surprised when she saw this. But he calmly bowed his knees and made a blessing on the spot: "My concubine has seen General Guo, and I would like to thank General Guo for avenging her husband."
Guo Shao said: "I'm taking the liberty to interrupt tonight, I really have something to ask. I don't know if I can take a step to speak?" After he said, he looked at the maid beside her.
Mrs. Chen has a serious face, pursed her lips lightly, and said, "You go down first."
"Yes." The maids bowed.
The etiquette and appearance of this large family house is very focused, and it looks calm and unhurried. But at this time Guo Shao was looking anxious, he only wanted to stay with Mrs. Chen, but had to waste some time.
At this time, Guo Shao opened the door of a room casually, and seeing that there was no one inside, he immediately said: "Mrs. Chen, let's come in and talk."
Chen Jiali has only one grandmother left beside her. Chen Jiali looked a little panicked and flushed, and whispered: "General Guo, what do you want to do?"
"Come in and talk about it." Guo Shao said.
Chen Jiali hesitated for a moment, bowed her head and entered the door with Auntie Sun. Guo Shao immediately greeted the entourage to enter the house together and immediately bolted the door. He doesn't care about other people's feelings and situations now, and begins to undress without saying a word.
"General Guo!" Chen Jiali covered her face.
"I only change my coat." Guo Shao frowned, greeted a few people to change clothes together, and said again, "I came to Mrs. Chen for help today, just to get out of here; when I remember, Mrs. Chen is here The most unlikely place to be noticed is that the mansion is also large and difficult to look at. Even if my opponent wants to send someone to watch around temporarily... Hey! Madam Chen, don’t do this, if I want to do something to you, Do you need to be in such a hurry?"
Ms. Chen finally approved Guo Shao's statement, put down her hand and asked: "Why did General Guo get out?"
"It's a long story, I will tell you later." Guo Shao said, "Although I only stayed in the house temporarily, Mrs. Chen also helped a lot."
Now Guo Shao will do his best in every small part at all costs.
He put on a cloth robe and put his head up, moved very fast, and threw the martial arts suit he was wearing to Zuo You: "Put it on, and you will go out in a while and go straight back to the house in my car. Remember to play well. Umbrella, hold down."
Zuo You clasped his fist and said, "I understand."
Guo Shao turned his head and said to Chen Jiali: "There must be a small door in another direction of the house, right? Ask Auntie Sun to drive away the people along the road. I will use the small door to leave here in a while."
Chen Jiali looked confused and gradually became nervous.
Guo Shao glanced at her: "I will remember Mrs. Chen's kindness this time."
"I didn't do anything, how can I talk about kindness, General Guo made a serious statement." She said.
Guo Shao pondered for a moment: "If someone comes to ask about tonight... Usually others don’t have the energy to pay attention to these details. I mean if anyone asks, you can ask Aunt Sun to say goodbye. Because tomorrow is going to leave Beijing to find alchemy for the emperor; in addition, Mrs. Chen had better live in a different place and avoid her after ten days."
Ms. Chen said: "Finding alchemy for the emperor?"
Guo Shao nodded and said: "Just do what I said."
Prepared properly, Guo Shao and Cao Tai were led by Auntie Sun through the small door of the inner house and found the Chen family mansion. They immediately walked into an alley, holding their umbrellas and walking fast by the side of the street.
After walking a few streets, I saw Jing Niang on an alley opening. She led three horses, and when she saw Guo Shao, she handed over two hats. Without saying a word, Guo Shao and Cao Tai immediately put on their hats and turned on their horses.
Sanqi jogged along the side street and went straight to the east of the city.
For a long time recently, Guo Shao went out with front and back armed guards, and it has been a long time since he rode in Tokyo like this. But now he didn't care about the danger at all, and he had already spared his life... At this juncture, he had to go to the general of the Forbidden Army to discuss it secretly, and he could not scream before and after.
Guo Shao and the other three directly touched Li Chuyun's house.
When he arrived near Li Chuyun's house, Guo Shao asked Cao Tai to go up and send the greeting card, which was sealed with an envelope. After waiting for a long time, Cao Tai returned to report. Guo Shao and Jingniang took the horse to the gate of the mansion quickly, pressing the hat very low, and seeing Li Chuyun were put into the gate.
The three followed Li Chuyun into the inner house. At this moment, they saw Lady Li standing in the corridor, trembling and calling: "General Guo."
Guo Shao lifted his hat and looked up at her.
Li Chuyun scolded: "What are you doing out?"
Guo Shao couldn't say anything in front of Li Chuyun, he just looked at Lady Li and stared at each other. Now in this situation, he naturally can't take care of the matter with Lady Li, so he has to say: "Waiting won't be too long."
The people present couldn't hear the meaning of his words suddenly, but they seemed to feel that they were speaking to Lady Li, because only Lady Li had just spoken to him. Guo Shao can only speak in this mysterious way, which is inconvenient to speak too bluntly.
