Just after the New Year, the Zhou Dynasty began to actively prepare for war in the west. In Tokyo, there were merchants from Guanzhong, discussing that the states were allocating food to Fengxiang; in early February, another scholar from Qinzhou rushed to Tokyo not far away. The emperor asked to send troops to recover Qinzhou and save the people.

The emperor thought of the sufferings of the people in his homeland, so he accepted the request of the Qinzhou scholars and decided to send his troops to the west.

In mid-February, the emperor accepted the recommendation of prime ministers such as Wang Pu and appointed four people. With Wang Jing as the chief general of the West Expedition; Xiang Xun led the Zhen'an elite soldiers, and Guo Shao led the guards of the twelve infantry commanders, who were divided into lieutenants; the Hakka province ambassador Zan Jurun was in charge of the conquest and the diplomacy.

Wang Jing waited in Fengxiang, Xiang Xunbing left Zhen'an, Guo Shao and the Hakka ambassador led the forbidden troops out of Tokyo, and Keri gathered in Fengxiang. The next day, Guo Shao went to the Department of Guards and received an explicit order from the Privy Council: to leave in five days.

Commander Li Zhongjin and Du Yuhou Shi Yanchao of the Guardian Division personally met Guo Shao and the generals of the Tiger Jie Army at the official office, the commander of the First Army and the Second Army of the Tiger Jie Army and Du Yuhou and others Together, they verified the Privy Council’s order to transfer troops on the spot, and then returned to the barracks to learn about the whole army...As always, the middle and lower-level soldiers only need to follow orders; all the generals above have confirmed that the transfer is true, and if there is an error, they will not be able to escape.

Guo Shao went home first as usual, while notifying Li Chuyun to come and meet, while preparing the accompanying things. Yulian helped him pack his clothes and daily utensils. He only chose the armor and weapons to bring. With a short dagger, two melee knives, and three bows of different strengths, Guo Shao didn’t use long weapons well, so he didn’t bring them. Last time in the inner hall, he issued a brand new armor, a ring-lock armor, and he was ready to go on the expedition. Wearing this pair, there is another pair of chest armor he is also preparing to wear... In battle, swords and arrows do not have eyes, and it is worth it to wear two layers.

Jingniang asked to follow again. Guo Shao was reluctant to take the woman in the army, but she said that she knew some Taoist people in Shu, and Guo Shao thought about it and stopped opposing it.

At this moment, Huang Tiejiang came in and reported: "Someone outside the door asked to see, it's a woman, who came in with this thing."

Guo Shao took it and unfolded the rolled paper curiously. It was a six-to-seven-inch piece of paper with two characters written on it. Guo Shao recognized as an ancient version of the semi-literate: Li's. He casually said: "It's called a famous post, a door-like appearance." Guo Shao really received this stuff for the first time. People like Zuo You and others who come to the door often knocked on the door, and they didn't pay attention to it at all.

I heard Huang Tiejiang say that it was a woman, and Guo Shao suddenly guessed that it was Li Chuyun’s daughter Li.

Guo Shao took two steps and remembered what Lady Li said when she was in Fengxiang: I haven’t seen her in thirty-two days, just like thirty-two years...The little lady is also Li Chuyun’s daughter, and Guo Shao thinks he should meet See, anyhow, say something to relieve her.

He was waiting for Huang Tiejiang to invite Lady Li in, and thinking that it would not be good for an unmarried woman to enter the door alone, so he stuffed the paper in his pocket into his pocket and turned around.

Guo Shao walked out of the gate and saw a carriage leaning on the street, with a groom sitting in front of him, and a maid standing outside. Guo Shao recognized the maid and determined that the person was Li Chuyun’s daughter, so he stepped forward alone and said: "But Lady Li is visiting?"

A clear voice inside said: "Let’s talk in another place."

"There is a shop on the street, I have eaten there. This is not the time to eat, the upstairs must be very quiet, how about drinking tea and some snacks in the upper shop?" Guo Shao said.

Li's voice said: "Listen to Guo Dushi's arrangement."

So Guo Shao walked slowly with the carriage towards the street entrance, not far anyway. They walked to the entrance of the wine shop, Guo Shao touched the bag, found out a bunch of money and handed it to the maid: "You want to eat something, buy it yourself."

The maid smiled with joy on her face and nodded without speaking. The little Er in the shop was lying on the table and lazily resting. He found that there was a customer. When he raised his head, he couldn't help but look at Li twice. At this time, the woman was still relatively free. Li looked good, but she didn’t. It will not make people feel strange.

Guo Shao and Li's found a place to sit down and ordered two cups of tea, one with fried almonds and one glutinous rice dessert.

Li lowered his head and didn't speak, and his hands squeezed the corners of his clothes vigorously. This situation affected Guo Shao and made him feel a little nervous inexplicably. He had never talked about love in his previous life, had no time and no extra money. That kind of experience only came from Yulian. For a while, his mind was blank and he didn't know what to say. The atmosphere of the cold scene suddenly became a little embarrassing.

At this moment, Guo Shao is not as good as Li, but Li took the initiative and said embarrassedly: "I sewed two pairs of insoles, one for my father, and one for you; the warrior is heavy when he wears armor, and the insoles should be soft. It’s good for the sturdiness, and most people don’t sew it like this... I heard that you are going to expedition, so I rushed to give it to you.” After she said, she took out a beautiful pink silk bag.

Guo Shao was there, not knowing what it was like.

Li said again: "Since Guo Dushi has seen me, I didn't want to take the initiative to look for you...I think it's so humble in front of you, doing so will make you look down on; but this pair of insoles cost after all A lot of time."

"No, no." Guo Shao touched his forehead, and hurriedly said, "I'm not saying that it didn't take much time, but that I didn't look down on it, I think..."

Listening to him, Li couldn't help but ask: "What do you think?"

Guo Shao was in a hurry. He fidgeted for a long time, dressed in a sophisticated manner, and said: "Guo heard that Lady Li has a good reputation in places like Yuzhou, and there are countless admirers... I just happen to I recite a song in the Li Mansion and asked you to meet it by chance; after that, you and I were masked only two or three times. I am afraid that the lady does not know who I am, most of which are based on her own imagination. People have good feelings, and of course they think of everything for the good. Some things are just illusions."

"Illusion?" Li's frown thought for a while, "What is the meaning of Guo Dushi saying these words, is it asking me not to pester you anymore?"

Guo Shao hurriedly said carefully: "This is definitely not what I mean. In fact, I am too happy to be too late...Which man is not complacent when seen by a beautiful girl?"

Lee looked confused.

Guo Shao felt that he was talking about a bunch of useless things. He turned his head and found that the light branches outside the window were full of flower buds, and he said: "Spring is here, and ancient poets often used things like falling flowers and running water to depict such affection. Come fast, go fast. Keep memories, and occasionally think about it later, you will feel very beautiful; if you are careless, you will destroy everything that is too fragile."

Li followed his gaze to look at the branches, muttering "Flowers, Flowing Water" in his mouth, as if he was seriously thinking about what Guo Shao said. After a while, she became angry inexplicably: "How can it be that fragile! Come fast, go fast, do you want to say that I am a profuse woman?"

Guo Shao was stunned.

Lee pushed the beautiful silk bag on the table and said angrily: "Take it! You wait, I will let you know who I am."

Guo Shao hurriedly said: "Wait!"

"When?" Lee opened his eyes and looked at him. Guo Shao seemed a little embarrassed and said after a pause, "I don't want to take your affection, let alone feel that you are not good. It's just that my marriage can't be the master for the time being. Could it be that after taking your affection, I finally abandoned it? It might as well be restrained from the beginning. Please forgive me, Lady Li."

...Ms. Li returned to her residence in Tokyo and was talked by her mother, but she usually listened to her father Li Chuyun more, but she was not afraid of her mother. But Li Chuyun was also busy preparing for the expedition, and didn't want to care about his daughter.

Lady Li finally couldn't help asking her father after dinner: "Does Guo Duzhi have parents alive?"

Li Chuyun thought for a while and said, "No. What are you still thinking about that? Your Uncle Luo mentioned it last time. Since Guo Duzhi has no thoughts, can we still be harder?"

Ms. Li murmured after hearing this: "My parents are gone, I can't say anything about it..."

Li Chuyun stroked his beard, and wondered: "Have you been to Guo Dushi? Why can't you be the master?" Seeing her daughter's face reddened slightly, she didn't answer in anger, Li Chuyun suddenly stood up and paced back and forth.

The little girl is very familiar with her father’s habits, so she asked casually: "What do you think is strange?"

Li Chuyun pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Last time you mentioned Uncle Luo, Guo Duzhi was not only related to the prime minister in Tokyo, but also the queen's person... Are you sure Guo Duzhi personally said that the marriage cannot be the master? "

The little girl frowned, nodded and said: "He said it himself."

Li Chuyun suddenly lowered his face and said sternly: "You are not allowed to go to Guo Duzhi in the future!"

My father usually loves her very much, not to mention that she is also obedient and well-behaved. Seeing that his father's face is very unusual at this time, she was shocked: "What is it that makes Dad teach me like this?"

Li Chuyun seemed to be impatient, and said in his sleeves: "I don't care about the elders, my child, just listen to your father! You have a lot of thoughts in your heart, I will know at a glance, you can't go out to entangle or practice in the future!" With tears in his eyes filled with grievances, Li Chuyun realized that what he said was serious, and hurriedly said with a sigh of relief: "Father is also a guess. If Guo Duzhi is really a noble confidant, the noble may decide for him and marry him in the future. .Why should we go to disturb the Li family?"

Seeing Li Xiaoniang couldn't help crying, Li Chuyun was a little annoyed, and said: "Cry for you|mother, I have a lot of things to consider."

……

The people in Tokyo made preparations. In late February, the army left Beijing. The Hakka ambassador Zan Jurun also went west with Guo Shao.

Guo Shao rode on the horse and turned to look at Yulian in the crowd. She took Dong Sanmei and a few female priests, followed the army on the street, and did not look away from Guo Shao for a moment. The look of reluctance made Guo Shao feel a little uncomfortable. Last year was probably this season, and this year it is.

But Guo Shao doesn't think he is at fault. He remembered his childhood. When his parents went out to work, they could only go home once a year. The farewell situation and the feeling of seeing off were vaguely familiar to him now.
