C32 Guo Jia Miss Ferocious
Gongsun Rui sneaked around the corner and quietly followed Gongsun Xu, who was wearing a fox fur coat, dozens of steps away. Whenever Gongsun Xu crossed the street or showed signs of turning back, she would quickly dodge to the side. Today, she was wearing a set of thick green clothes and a worn-out hat. She looked no different from the maids in the mansion.
It was the right time, the busiest time in the bazaar, and there were so many people on the street that Gongsun Rui could easily hide. And Gongsun Xu seemed to have something on his mind. He was only walking towards the south of the city and didn't notice that he was being followed by his sister.
After a while, Gongsun Xu arrived at Yan Rou's house on the south side of the city. However, he did not enter the house. Instead, he walked towards another small house on the left side of the road. Arriving at the entrance, he knocked on the door knocker. Very soon, a pretty and delicate looking maid opened the door and invited him in. The door then closed immediately.
At the corner of the street, Gongsun Rui watched as the two of them disappeared behind the door. She clenched her fists and shook them. "Hehe, I've finally caught you!" After saying so, he saw a few pedestrians looking at him in surprise. He quickly lowered his head and walked away.
In recent days, Gongsun Rui noticed that Gongsun Xu often went out alone and seemed to go to the south side of the city every time. After some investigation, she concluded that her brother must have secretly kept an outer room, so she immediately thought of going over to take a look. Of course, she told herself that she was definitely not doing this out of curiosity, but to seek justice for her good sister Liu Ninger. At this moment, Gongsun Rui saw that her elder brother had really entered an unfamiliar house. Furthermore, the maid who opened the door looked quite pretty, so she couldn't help but pout: "Brother, oh brother, you don't like the pretty girls of childhood, but you go find those bad girls instead. What are you thinking?"
When she arrived at the entrance, she was about to knock on the door when she suddenly raised her head and saw a three meter high wall. Then, she quickly walked towards the wall at the back of the house.
Gongsun Xu was sitting across from a person in a small, burning study. If Gongsun Rui were here, she would be disappointed. This was not a place to hide a girl, but a place to live in.
Five days ago in that small teahouse on the street, Guo Jia officially sided with Gongsun Xu and became his first advisor. The next day, Gongsun Xu had his butler, Uncle Zhong, buy this house next door to Yan Rou's house. At the same time, he also bought two pretty maids that could cook and gave them to Guo Jia. Gongsun Xu let Guo Jia stay next to Yan Rou mainly because he wanted her to look after him a little more. After all, Yan Rou had no ability to tie a chicken, so it would be easier for her to help him if there was an accident.
The fifteen thousand strong soldiers that Gongsun Xu had recruited were arranged in another camp north of the city, opposite the wall of the Youzhou Army. These days, Yan Rou and Zhao Yun were presiding over them, Wei Dun, Wang Wei and Yang Hong were helping them, and according to Gongsun Xu's request, they would train on the main campus every day. Over the past ten days, the fighting strength of the team named 'White Horse Camp' had not increased much. However, the formation of the team had begun to show results, unlike the first time they charged, retreated, and all rushed up like a swarm of bees.
Gongsun Xu had originally planned to change the equipment of his subordinates, but unfortunately, as a top mercenary in his previous life, although he was proficient in making all kinds of cold weapons, he did not have enough money or blacksmiths or steel, so he could only temporarily put this idea to the back of his mind. When he returned to Ji County with the team, Gongsun Xu had the Gongsun Jia brothers look around for blacksmiths. They had almost collected all the blacksmiths in Ji County and in Youzhou City, but they only found around 40 blacksmiths, which was a long way from the 300-400 people he had requested for.
The day before yesterday, Gongsun Xu brought Guo Jia to the White Horse Camp's camp to be announced that Guo Jia had been appointed as the Military Advisor to drink wine. However, the team had been training recently and Guo Jia had caught a bit of cold. Thus, Gongsun Xu had been resting at home for the past two days.
After the maidservant served the tea, Guo Jia extended his hand and invited, "Master, please have some tea."
Gongsun Xu saw that the servant girl's face was flushed and her gaze towards Guo Jia was a little strange. He couldn't help but secretly shake his head. Even in his illness, he couldn't control himself! Moreover, when he came in earlier, Guo Jia was drinking wine. At this moment, the copper wine pot was still simmering on the brazier. However, as the lord of the house, there were some things that were unsuitable for him to say. He could only find an opportunity for others to admonish him.
Gongsun Xu took a sip of the tea and nodded. "Good tea. Are you from the south?"
This tea color emerald green, in cup curls into a conch, is the later generation is very famous green spring. However, during the time of the Han Dynasty, Jade Spiral Spring was not famous at all. Only during the Sui and Tang Dynasties did his name rise greatly, becoming one of the top ten tea leaves in a single leap.
Guo Jia smiled and said, "My lord is truly knowledgeable. There was a South Vietnamese who sold this tea the other day. Jia thought that the shape of this tea was very interesting, so she bought some. I didn't expect the taste to be good. "
Gongsun Xu drank half a cup, put down the cup and said: "Feng Xiao, tomorrow I will lead the army to set off, do you have any other suggestions?"
That day at the small tea shop, Guo Jia suggested to take advantage of Qiu Liju's death to quickly attack Liucheng, with a huge chance of defeating the Wuhuan of Liaoxi in one go. When Gongsun Xu returned to Hou Mansion, he told Gongsun Zan about this matter. Gongsun Zan was rather moved, but he did not immediately agree. Instead, he decided to let the spies go to the Wuhuan of Liaoxi's territory to find out about the news, and to make sure that there was chaos in the Wuhuan of Liaoxi before sending out troops to attack.
The most suitable scouts were not Gongsun Zan's elite scouts, but Greedy King, who was stationed on the grasslands outside the northern city, only a hundred and fifty miles away from Upper Valley County. They were all people of Wu Huan, and it was easy for his subordinates to find information in the Liucheng. Last night, Greedy King sent someone to deliver a letter, in which he says that after Su Puyan returned to the Liucheng, he was locked up by the powerful Ta Dun. Ta Dun was only Qiu Liju's subordinate, and Qiu Liju had not clearly defined him as the next King before he died. Therefore, many people in the tribe were unconvinced with Ta Dun. These people, led by Qiu Liju's brother-in-law, Qiu Lijuson, wanted to help Qiu Liju's first son, Lou Ban, take over the throne.
On the day that he was about to officially become king on the eighth of October, he was going to borrow Su Puyan's head to kill chickens and monkeys. He was going to intimidate Na Li and the others so that he could ascend to the throne of King Wu Huan if there were no internal conflicts. Na Li and the rest were naturally unwilling to give up their throne after hearing the news, so they led their twenty thousand troops to escort Wu Tie out of the Liucheng. As the difference in strength between the two sides was not too great, Hu Ping did not dare to stop them, and could only allow Wu Tie's group to go southwest of the Liucheng to Jian Ping County to station.
After Gongsun Zan finished reading the letter, he immediately gathered a few capable men to discuss the matter of sending troops.
Furthermore, the recent weather was cold and dry, and there were no signs of rain or snow. Thus, the decision to send out the troops was quickly made — In the army, the powerful Single Classical General led the army, he led twenty thousand Youzhou soldiers as the central army, Gongsun Xu led the frontline army as the vanguard, Wei Dun as the main army, led ten thousand auxiliary force s as food supplies, and attacked the Liucheng on the 8th of October. Four days later would be the eighth day of the tenth month. The Ji County was over eight hundred li away from the Liucheng, so the time for sending troops was set to be tomorrow at dawn.
Guo Jia cupped his hands and smiled. "This battle will be a victory. I wish the lord a great victory in the future." Jia Qi only had one suggestion. If this battle ended abruptly, when the lord returns, he might as well launch a fierce attack on Jianping County. This battle would inevitably come to an end. "If he doesn't die and escape to the right northern level, Lou Ban will still be useful. My lord, please besiege Jianping County for a few days and see if you can subdue him. I don't need him to sincerely surrender, as long as you follow my lord in name.
"Feng Xiao's words are very good! Since I can't become enemies with Liaodong Gongsun Du for now, it's more advantageous to have Wu Yan as a cushion for both sides. But I can't let him live an easy life either. "Alright, I will take my leave now. Zhou Tie is in good health and recuperation. If his condition has changed, then go to Godly Doctor Hua." Gongsun Xu said a few words before standing up and leaving.
Guo Jia hurriedly stood up to send Gongsun Xu off. He watched Gongsun Xu leave before returning to the study room.
"Achoo!" Guo Jia couldn't help but sneeze a few times as his whole body was covered in sweat. He rubbed his nose and called for the servant girl, "Ru Shi, Ru Yu, go heat up some hot water. I want to take a bath."
The maid's crisp and clear reply came from outside. Guo Jia smiled, walked to the bedroom beside, and muttered: "Master, you have so many brilliant ideas! This method of burning land dragons is simple and easy to execute, yet it makes the entire room feel like it's the middle of summer, warm and comfortable in the middle of winter.
That's right, the Burn Dragon was Gongsun Xu's recent invention. The method was simple and easy to execute. As long as he dug out a path of fire underground and burned firewood or charcoal outside, the hot air would be transferred inside the house through the path of fire. The method of burning land and dragon quickly became popular in the rich and powerful families of the officials of Youzhou.
Gongsun Rui hid in the corner and watched Gongsun Xu walk away. She said with resentment, "Damn it, I almost froze because of how fast I had come." She looked at the low wall, rubbed her hands together, and stamped her numb feet. A sinister smile appeared on her lips as she climbed over the wall with both hands.
In the warm bedroom, Guo Jia was lying in a wooden bath barrel with his eyes closed. In his right hand, he was holding a small wine gourd. The two maidservants, Ru Shi and Ru Yu, helped him to rub his back and shoulders. From time to time, they would sneak a peek at Guo Jia, their eyes filled with excitement.
Outside in the yard, Gongsun Rui crept closer to the window.
At this moment, Guo Jia suddenly sneezed loudly. He covered his nose and whined uncomfortably. Ru Shi quickly picked up a silk handkerchief to wipe Guo Jia's mucus.
Gongsun Rui was taken aback and thought, 'Eh? It sounded like a man's voice! Strange, how could there be a man in a place where one's elder brother has a beautiful home? Could it be that the vixen in the room had secretly hooked up with someone, and was planning to murder her elder brother for wealth? Mmm, that must be it! In the stories his brother told, didn't the bad women always seduce their cousins in order to assassinate their husband? "Damned fox spirits, I will definitely teach all of you a lesson!"
If Gongsun Xu knew what Gongsun Rui was thinking at this moment, he would definitely not know whether to laugh or cry. He loved this strange little sister of his, so he often told her stories in his free time.
Gongsun Rui practiced some fancy martial arts, so it wasn't too difficult for her to break open the wooden door. She kicked the door into pieces, rushed in, and shouted, "You fox spirit, where are you going?"
Guo Jia's mouth was agape as he looked stupidly at Gongsun Rui, not knowing how to wipe it despite letting a sliver of snot trickle down his nose.
Ruyu thought it was Lady Guo Jia's maidservant who came to catch the traitor, but she was so scared that she trembled and hid behind Guo Jia.
Gongsun Rui became even angrier when she saw this. She thought to herself, "I've already come in, but you two foxes still dare to approach that dog-man. You really don't know your place!" He immediately pounced over with bared fangs and brandished claws. Ruyu screamed in fright, running around the bathtub in a panic to avoid it.
The bathtub was simply too big. Gongsun Rui couldn't even grab a corner of it. She was so angry that she couldn't help but gasp for breath. Suddenly, he saw Guo Jia staring at him dumbly, he flew into a rage and shouted: "Lecher, you dare to look at me like that, do you want to die?"
With that, he punched Guo Jia in the left eye socket and circled behind Guo Jia amidst the screams. He grabbed Guo Jia's shoulder with both of his hands and forcefully threw him away!
The sound of water splashing was loud. Guo Jia was like a fish that was pulled out of the water as he rolled on the ground naked a few times.
Crack * The delicate wine gourd fell to the ground, instantly filling the air with the fragrance of wine.
"Aiyo!" "Ouch!" Guo Jia's knees were bleeding and he screamed in pain.
"Pui!" "Damn you," Gongsun Rui cursed subconsciously. "You drink in the shower, and you're not even wearing any clothes …" She suddenly came to her senses, her face red and purple with embarrassment. She stomped her feet and ran out of the room.
"Like a jade in a poem, help the old master up! Whose wild girl was she? "Why is it so fierce?"
The cold wind blew incessantly into the room. Guo Jia, who was helped up by such a poetic person, shuddered as he looked at the tattered door and wanted to cry but had no tears.
