Fu had never felt so terrified before. The desire for life and the fear of death gradually became chaotic, but also became clearer and more unforgettable.
She was neither asleep nor unconscious, and today she seemed to be in better spirits than in the past few days; she could still open her eyes, but they were lifeless. She seemed to be staring at something, but she didn't know what she saw.
Legend has it that Pangu created the world; Taishigong said that there were Yao, Shun and Yu many, many years ago. But at least the Zhou Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, the Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties existed. How many heroic events have happened between the heaven and earth in the land of China, how many turmoils have been experienced between heaven and earth, how many people have been born, grown old, sick and died, experienced joy, anger, sorrow and happiness here, but she did not see these things, but only saw clues from the book after the dust settled.
Countless years have passed, long years, where am I now
Waiting for death, there will be more long years ahead, how many things will happen in the future, when will it end? Then where am I
Eternity is so close at this moment. Only death is eternal. No one can escape it. Even the First Emperor tried his best but couldn't find life. Death is the eternal destination. But such a destination is too scary.
She had no choice but to escape. She had never thought about these things before, because she was still young and thought that day was far away. Why think about something so far away? But now, it was getting closer and closer, and she could smell the breath of death.
Despair and death
Bang! A young man fell off his horse. The remaining three riders hurriedly reined in their horses and shouted, "My lord, Envoy Guo is here!"
There were more than 20 riders out of Guzhen, but now only three were left. The horses could not bear it and fell behind halfway. Guo Shao picked the fattest horses and finally made it to Chenzhou. Guo Shao was in so much pain that he could not move. He looked up at a door guarded by guards, and his eyes were red. According to the officials of Chenzhou, the queen was here, and they were afraid of Mo Rushen and did not want to talk about the queen's condition. Guo Shao felt that she was in danger.
There was once a young man who, in his last moments, just lay on the ground, stretched out his hand, trying to hold on to the woman. So many things always seem familiar.
Now everything is happening again, and Guo Shaoquan wants to stop her from moving away.
After three days and three nights without sleep, Guo Shao was already in a trance, and he had forgotten why he wanted to keep the queen. All those plans about interests and status had already become a mess, and he had no idea what the benefits of saving Fu would be, but he had an obsession in his heart, as if if she left, his heart would die with her.
It seemed that the woman was his sister in his previous life, or the woman he loved, but neither was true. She was just the queen. Guo Shaoquan did everything in a hurry based on his intuition. He had lost his mind.
There is a deep-rooted thought in my heart, which is to see the person I care about most have a good ending.
Go and ask to see the queen. Guo Shao gritted his teeth and climbed up. His leg was still in great pain, but he seemed uninjured. He took out the appointment letter of the commander of the Hujie Army from his arms, thinking that this thing would be useful.
Yang Biao took the appointment letter to the armored man at the door. A young general took it and looked at it. He heard Jingniang say: "The commander of the imperial guards has asked for medicine to save the queen. Please inform him immediately." The young general glanced at Guo Shao who had just stood up, and couldn't help but take another look, then hurried inside.
At this time, Jingniang called Qingxu, and she responded with a hum, and continued to hold Jingniang listlessly. The little girl was too tired and almost fell off the horse on the road. Jingniang tied her behind her back with a cloth strip and then fell asleep.
Not long after, two eunuchs came out of the door together. One of them was an old eunuch, Guo Shao, whom I had seen last year. I had a vague impression of him, but I didn't know who he was. He was Cao Tai. Cao Tai looked at him for a long time before recognizing Guo Shao: "Guo Dushi, how did you get into this state?"
This eunuch should be the queen's man. Guo Shao hurriedly said: I want to see the queen. I asked for medicine in the mountains to save the queen.
Cao Tai ignored the other eunuchs and said directly: You come with the family, the followers cannot enter, you come alone. Guo Shao turned around and pointed at the little girl who had just dismounted and rubbed her eyes with messy hair, she must go with me, only she knows how to use the medicine.
Come in. Cao Tai saw that Qingxu was a young girl and said decisively.
Being allowed in, everything went smoothly. Guo Shao ignored Qingxu's hesitation, grabbed her hand and left. His leg had just fallen, but he walked very fast, and his limping posture really lost his grace.
The white clouds in the sky are rolling in the wind. After doing so much, it has come to the last moment. Hope, like the white clouds, there is always a chance.
The broad leaves on the treetops in the yard rustled in the wind, and the leaves swayed very briskly, just like Guo Shao's urgent mood. He walked through the corridor supported by red-painted wooden pillars, passed through the moon-shaped door, and walked directly into a small courtyard.
Everything around was like passing clouds. The green trees, red wood, blue tiles and white walls formed a melody of intertwined colors and mixed emotions, circling in the air and then disappearing.
Suddenly, he saw a man in armor standing at the door of a house. Cao Tai was afraid that Guo Shao didn't recognize him. After all, although he had seen him before, he didn't dare to look directly at him. Cao Tai reminded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty. You were just in the Queen's room. It was the emperor who ordered you to come in."
The silent hallucinatory melody suddenly stopped. Guo Shao was in a trance but still had his mind thinking. He hurried forward and knelt down, saying: "Your Majesty, I, Guo Shao, the commander of the left wing of the Hujie Army, pay my respects to the emperor. May the emperor live forever."
How did you become like this? The official's tone was slightly unhappy. Guo Shao's current appearance was indeed disrespectful.
Guo Shao's hair was messy and tied up with a string like straw. His head and face were covered with black dirt, his body was covered with dust, and his neck was even dirtier. The dust was wet with sweat and turned into a black and disgusting circle, just like a beggar. He had come in easily just now, thanks to the appointment letter and Cao Tai knowing him.
It was quite rude to meet the emperor in such a manner. It was very rude to meet a guest in an untidy manner, let alone to meet the emperor, who would usually think that he had no respect. Guo Shao finally realized that he was meeting the emperor. An idea suddenly occurred to him, and he kowtowed and said: "I heard that the queen was seriously ill. I traveled more than 2,000 miles from Guzhen, Fengzhou to Chenzhou day and night. I was so anxious that I forgot to dress when I arrived in Chenzhou. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
You have made great contributions in the battle against Shu. Forget it, it is just a small matter. Chai Rong said, I remember that the military order of the Privy Council was to let you lead the second army of the Tiger and Swift Army to go to Tokyo for reorganization. Where is the army
Guo Shao answered the question irrelevantly: I found an immortal on Mount Huashan and asked for the elixir.
Ahem, Guo Dushi, Cao Tai reminded quietly.
Guo Shao suddenly realized and said: "I haven't slept for several days. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. The Hujie Army should still be in Guzhen or on the way to Tokyo. I have handed over the military power and made proper arrangements. There will be no mistakes."
Chai Rong frowned and said: "Who gave me the elixir?"
Guo Shaodao: In reply to the emperor, I don't know his name, but he looks very powerful with his white hair and youthful face. He cursed and swore not to reveal the name of the Taoist in hemp clothes, so he could only say that he didn't know the name but felt it was powerful.
Chai Rong said coldly: "Ridiculous! I heard Prime Minister Wang say in the palace how you calculated the military situation. I thought you were a good general, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing. You dare to give the elixir of unknown origin to the queen?"
Chai Rong paused, as if recalling that Guo Shao had fought hard in the Battle of Gaoping. He must have remembered that he had killed Zhang Yuanhui in battle. Chai Rong was generally more magnanimous towards those who had done their best in the battle to defend the throne in the Battle of Gaoping.
At this moment, a middle-aged palace woman came out hurriedly with her head bent and her back lowered, kneeling and asking: "Your Majesty, the Queen said she is willing to take the elixir presented by Envoy Guo Du. Your Majesty, please have mercy on her."
Chai Rong looked unhappy, and he probably didn't know why he was unhappy. But when he heard the palace maid's words, he still agreed and said, "Then you can offer the elixir. But if something happens, the queen won't care, but the court officials will impeach you, and you can't get away with it. You know the consequences."
Guo Shao felt dizzy and confused, as if he was sleepwalking. He replied: I am an orphan that the Queen had saved. I was a guard in the Prince Wei's mansion. I was and am the guard of the Emperor and the Queen. I am willing to defend the Queen with my life. If the Emperor thinks I am guilty, just say one word and I will commit suicide.
Chai Rong was stunned. Military generals since the Five Dynasties were rather arrogant. It was indeed not easy to hear such undisguised words from a military general.
"You serve on the battlefield, not for achievement, not for the country, but just to be the queen's guard," asked Chai Rong.
Guo Shao's mind was somewhat logical, and he answered directly: Yes, I was just a guard, I was only loyal to the emperor and the queen, and I didn't care about state affairs. But the emperor has the whole world in his heart, and I can only serve him on the battlefield, so I am willing to fight on the battlefield.
Chai Rong sighed slightly. Of course, he would not argue with Guo Shao about trying to please the queen. This person seemed to be originally from the Prince Wei's Mansion, and he didn't know how he got into the Imperial Guards.
Seeing that the emperor stopped talking, Cao Tai urged him in a low voice: "Please take out the elixir and give it to me."
Guo Shao hurriedly turned around to look at Qingxu who was kneeling behind him without saying a word. She lowered her head and did not move. Could she be asleep? No way. Who could fall asleep when meeting the emperor
He said: According to the nameless immortal, this pill requires some breathing techniques to increase its effectiveness. I asked a young lady to learn from the immortal, because women are needed to serve the queen.
You are very thoughtful, Cao Tai said.
Then Guo Shao knelt down and made another request, which was approved by Chai Rong. He then walked to the center of the courtyard, raised his palms to the sky and cursed: "I am Guo Shao, the one who disobeyed the will of heaven. If heaven wants to punish me, it will be me, not others."
This is also what was promised to the Taoist in hemp clothes.
