Ding, ding, ding, pea-sized raindrops came suddenly, hitting the tiles on the roof with a crisp sound. In July, when it rains, it will be cooler. A moist and cool breeze will blow through the air, and the heat between heaven and earth seems to be washed away all at once, turning it cool.
Guo Shao urged Yulian to take Jingniang out of the rain, but Jingniang immediately replied angrily: Get out of here!
Seeing her miserable appearance, Yu Lian was not angry even after being scolded. She turned around and said softly to Guo Shao: I will go to the gate first, send Old Man Huang away, and ask him to go back to the blacksmith shop to check.
Guo Shao hurriedly nodded in agreement.
He thought: The situation should start to improve, at least she started talking, no matter what good or bad words she said, it was better than being in a daze like before; before, she had a cold and gloomy face and was really scary. It would be better if she started talking.
Guo Shao went into the house to find an umbrella. When he came back, he saw that Jingniang was soaked by the rain.
The weather in July was hot, and everyone was wearing thin clothes. Jingniang was only wearing a plain white dress with a stand-up collar. Once it got soaked, the fabric stuck to her skin. What does it look like to have a layer of wet, thin fabric sticking to your body
Not only was her body exposed, but even her skin and hair color were printed on the wet, translucent fabric. Before, Guo Shao just thought she had a good figure and was plump, but now he realized that her body was as beautiful as Venus, firm and round, but the lines of the sculpture were obviously not so clear and distinct.
Guo Shao shamelessly widened his eyes and stood there holding the umbrella.
At this moment, Jingniang suddenly went crazy and rushed over: I'm going to strangle you to death
Guo Shao was quick to grab her wrist, but he was not careful and his lower body was not stable. The ground was slippery and he was pushed to the ground. The woman was very strong and tried to strangle Guo Shao. Guo Shao was very anxious. He thought she was angry and it would be dangerous if she really strangled him. He struggled hard and said anxiously: Are you crazy? I told you not to get wet. I warned you, but you insisted on standing in the rain.
Fortunately, although he was not good at other things, his arm and wrist strength was quite strong due to years of archery practice; Jingniang was also very strong after risking her life. If her opponent was not Guo Shao, she would have strangled him to death. Guo Shao had to work hard to control her arms.
The two men wrestled for a while, looking very messy, with mud and rain on their bodies mixed together, turning them into two dirty people.
After a while, Jingniang finally lay down in the rain, crying loudly and miserably. Guo Shao also rolled and crawled to sit under the eaves next to him, took a breath, and looked at her helplessly.
Why don't you come with me? I will treat you well. Guo Shao thought for a long time before he spoke out a sentence while panting.
He understood that saying this was somewhat reliable, but Jingniang didn't know what kind of person he was, so it was just nonsense.
After a while, Jingniang stopped crying and lay there with her shoulders twitching slightly. It was a tragic scene for a woman to lie on the ground crying in the heavy rain, with rain and tears mixed together and sliding down her sad face; she looked as heartbroken as if she had just been raped.
After Guo Shaoxie caught his breath, he recalled that Jingniang had used all her strength to suck her breasts, and she was completely desperate. He was also vaguely afraid that this woman looked beautiful, but was actually thorny, and it would not be easy for her to strangle him.
He was also a little annoyed, and blurted out: I didn't rape you by force, but you still have half a sentence in your mind. If you value chastity so much, why do you take so many drugs? You are crazy
After a long time, it was almost dark. Finally, a Taoist priest came to ask their master. Guo Shao was furious when he saw these crazy female Taoist priests. He couldn't get angry, so he asked the Taoist priests to carry the almost dying Jingniang away. He couldn't let Jingniang freeze here all night.
Guo Shao was upset all night, struggling with how to solve this problem. But he had to go to work early the next morning. The rest period of a few days was over, and everyone from the generals to the soldiers stationed in the capital had to gather and reorganize.
The next morning, the rain had stopped. Yang Biao and the other twenty or so people arrived at the gate one after another. When they were ready to set off, there were a total of nineteen people, except Zuo You. Guo Shao asked and found out that Zuo You thought that the lord needed some followers when he went to the court. Apparently, there were no servants in the mansion, so he asked a group of personal soldiers to do this job, because they also had to report to the military camp anyway.
As he was worried about something, Guo Shao didn't care about the ceremony. He put on his armor, led his horse and left without taking any of the ceremonial items he had left in a room last time.
As soon as the group of people got onto Xuande Avenue, they saw a large group of people blocking the gate of the imperial city. He was not mistaken, they were a group of civilians.
Guo Shao immediately found it very strange: the group of people were making a lot of noise, and some were holding up paper banners and shouting. This scene did not look like a complaint to the emperor. Guo Shao had the illusion that it was a demonstration.
In ancient times, when civilians dared to gather at the gate of the imperial city to protest, the government did not ask what they wanted to do and who ordered them to do it. Guo Shao was also very curious. How did these people get into the inner city so early in the morning, carrying bags and other things and looking dusty? There was no way to know. There were so many strange things during this period.
As they rode closer, they heard the people shouting, "Shu has made the people of Qinzhou miserable. They can't survive any longer. Please send a general to take back their homeland. The governor Han Jixun is cruel and domineering. Wang Wandi has no good governance. The government is corrupt and their policies are more ferocious than a tiger." Qinzhou was originally the land of the Great Zhou. The people are grateful for their homeland and are eager to return.
The soldiers ignored him and quietly passed the government office area outside the imperial city, then turned east at the fork in the road and followed the main road to the north gate. The government office of the Palace Front Department was on the north side; the barracks of each squad were also outside the north gate of the imperial city.
Guo Shao asked his entourage to go to the parade ground outside the Inner Palace's direct camp, while he went to the Palace Front Office to find the commander-in-chief Wang Shenqi.
He had just taken office and did not know what the Inner Palace Guard army usually did, nor how to arrange things in the near future. But it did not matter, as there was more than one person in charge of the Inner Palace Guard anyway. He would work under Wang Shenqi first and get familiar with the situation.
The military officers of the Inner Palace Guards first met in the government office. Wang Shenqi asked the officials to record the names of the generals present, and then spoke in front of them. This was the roll call of the Inner Palace Guards. There was another very important thing after the roll call. The chief general, the deputy general and the generals checked together to confirm the authenticity of the military orders they received; general military orders did not matter, but if it was a troop transfer order, it must be treated strictly.
Guo Shao felt that the military commanders were quite decisive in doing things, without much formality.
Then the commanders of the four east and west squads left first to go to the parade ground where the Inner Palace Guards were stationed to count their heads. Wang Shenqi, along with Guo Shao and others, lingered in the government office for a long time before they went to the parade ground without any hurry.
Guo Shao recalled that when he was one of the Ten Generals, he lined up in the parade ground, and each level counted the number of people and reported it. The situation was different now, he was with the Envoy Wang Shenqi and others, waiting for the head count; but now Guo Shao could basically guess what the soldiers on the parade ground were doing.
Everyone was busy for the whole morning. Guo Shao and others did the same thing as the high-ranking generals they had seen before, riding their horses around the parade ground to see if the number of people was roughly the same as the reported number, and then they were done. Then they read out the military orders from the higher-ups, and Wang Shenqi gave a few more orders, allocating the garrison and rotation of the generals and the training of the various squads and cities, and then they dispersed and returned to their respective camps.
As for attending court and discussing military and national affairs, he didn't have to worry about it at all, as it was not Guo Shao's turn. He just had to follow the orders from the Palace Front Office and do whatever his superiors said.
Because these days were the days when all the imperial guards were being reorganized, the generals of the Imperial Guards and the Palace Guards would be coming, and all the soldiers would stay in various military camps for a period of time; so Guo Shao believed that Zhao Kuangyin was also in the Palace Guards office or some military camp.
Instead of messing around behind the scenes, it would be better to go directly to Zhao Kuangyin. Guo Shao, who had been a soldier and a general for several years in this era, had become accustomed to the simple, rough, direct and efficient style of doing things. If he couldn't avoid it, he would just face it as soon as possible.
