After Zhang Yu finished watching, he straightened Guo Zhongjin's clothes, tied his belt, and helped him sit down. Then he returned to his seat, sat upright, and said respectfully: "Guo Zi has worked hard for the country, which is admirable."
Mr. Guo said: "Mr. Zhang, please don't kill the child. Zhong Jin is young. He has worked hard for the country and is just ignorant."
Zhang Noi smiled and said: "Mr. Guo teaches well, so there are young people like this." The two were humble for a while before returning to the topic. Zhang Ye changed his title and said: "Zhong Jin is in bondage, have you ever heard the words of the Qin army in front of the hall and in the hall?"
Guo Zhongjin was stunned and said: "I'm afraid it won't fall into the ears of Da Fang!"
Zhang Ye said: "But what I heard and heard is not foretelling!"
Mr. Guo also encouraged: "Whatever you say about what you have heard, the decision between you and Mr. Zhang depends on you."
Zhang Noi asked remindingly: "Who can the Qin people say will be their general?"
Guo Zhongjin said: "Qin people often talk about 'Ganghou', which means they are in awe. How dare you be a Qin general!"
Zhang He used Guanzhongxiang to talk about it: "Are you talking about 'Ranghou'?"
Guo Zhongjin clapped his knees and said, "That's exactly what he said, but I don't know who Ganghou actually is."
Zhang Noi changed his voice to Wei Zhongguan and said: "It is Wei Ran, the Marquis of Rang."
Mr. Guo said: "That's it. General Mangmao is also called the general of the Qin army and he should be called Ranghou."
Zhang Ye also nodded and said: "Of course, of course." He then asked Guo Zhongjin: "Who else did the people of Qin say?"
Guo Zhongjin said: "It's really difficult to distinguish the Guanzhong rural talk. I heard vaguely that there are Fuqi and Fukai. Because their surname is Fu, I remember it."
Zhang Yu turned to Mr. Guo: "Is there a Fu family in Qin who can be a general?"
Mr. Guo pondered for a moment and said: "Others may not know this, but I learned from a close friend that the new guest of King Qin was named Hu Yang or Hu Shang, 'Fu Kai' or 'Hu Yang', 'Fu Qi' or ' Hu Qing'."
Zhang He asked again in Guanzhong dialect: "But Hu Qing, Hu Yang?"
Guo Zhongjin said: "It doesn't sound true, it just seems vague."
Zhang He asked: "When will they enter the post?"
Guo Zhongjin said: "It's about sunrise."
Zhang He asked: "When will we leave the post?"
Guo Zhongjin said: "One group left and another came, and there was no break during the day. When the sound of killing came from Qifeng, there were still Qin people eating horses in the post."
Zhang He asked: "How much grain and fodder are stored in the post?"
Guo Zhongjin said: "New grain has just arrived in the warehouse, the villages are full, and there are still savings in the corridors and courtyards. All the expenses of the year are here, and they are all consumed in one day."
Zhang He asked again: "How do the people of Qin give orders?"
Guo Zhongjin said: "That's not true. I guess it's the sound of a clapper, and the officer is shouting and giving instructions, so we can form the team and set off."
Zhang He asked: "Have you ever heard anything interesting? Do you still remember it?"
Guo Zhongjin said: "Interesting thing?... I seem to have heard someone say that after cleaning his hands, he had nothing to wipe the shit with, so he used the festival talisman to scrape it. ... Oh, they seemed to have hidden their belongings in other places and had nothing with them. "
Zhang He asked: "Do you think the people of Qin ever wore armor?"
Guo Zhongjin said firmly: "No. Just wear a robe and tighten the cuffs."
"Are there any horses and carriages?"
"A horse or a carriage? I haven't heard of it. There will be a rolling sound when the carriage passes by the post gate."
Zhang Noi nodded and said, "What else is interesting?"
Guo Zhongjin thought for a while and said: "It seems that someone wants to stay inside, but the general doesn't allow it. In the past, it was allowed, but he is resentful. ... Some people's straw shoes are broken, and the superior is not allowed to use moss to weave shoes, so he forces me Waiting for my socks to be taken off...someone else took off our clothes..." Guo Zhongjin's voice became weaker and weaker, and he finally couldn't speak anymore and stopped.
Zhang He asked, "Did they ever beat or scold them after they took off their clothes?"
Guo Zhongjin said: "No. ... But it's worse than being beaten and scolded. ... Especially at night, I'm hungry, cold and thirsty, and I can't move. ..." Guo Zhongjin couldn't say any more. Lord Xinling stepped forward in person, poured a glass of wine, and handed it to Guo Zhongjin. Guo Zhongjin took it gratefully, bowed slightly, and drank it all in one gulp. The mood calmed down a bit.
Zhang He said: "Zhong Jin is shocked and tired, so don't think too much. Let's go back to our house to rest and talk about it tomorrow."
A guest was about to come to lead the way. Mr. Guo said: "The boy lives with me, so I will lead him there. Please leave for now!"
Lord Xinling said: "Mr. Guo, if you have nothing else to do, you can do whatever you want." Mr. Guo led Guo Zhongjin away.
Lord Xinling asked Zhang Noi: "Mr. Zhang, can you teach me?"
Zhang He said: "I was ordered to eat with the princes, and each of them had a drink, a piece of food, a vegetable and a sauce. The princes mostly behaved according to the etiquette. Among them, Mr. Xu, Bo'an, the son of Dr. Xu Jia, was the most generous."
Lord Xinling said: "Is there any change in Master Mang's master Shen?"
Zhang Ye said: "No. Eat quietly, without squinting, without any distractions, as if nothing happened."
Lord Xinling asked: "Is it possible that Mang's family is not among them?"
Zhang Ye said: "It's difficult to determine the cause now, let's just wait and see." After a pause, Zhang Ye asked: "Why did Mr. Zhongyue and Lieutenant Daliang leave the table?"
Lord Xinling said: "On the way, Lieutenant Daliang heard that Qifeng had been captured. He became ill with anxiety and felt restless. Mr. Zhongyue led him and Kunzhong of the Lu family to a side courtyard to rest."
Zhang He said: "Who is Lu's Kunzhong, who has to go with Daliang Wei?"
Mr. Xinling said: "I have just met him. But his words were recommended by Mr. Huang, but there is no recommendation letter. If it were not introduced by Daliang Wei, there would be no words after meeting. Daliang Weiyan, who received many help from Lu on the way, Only then can we be safe. I hope that Lieutenant Daliang will know his confidant."
Seeing that he didn't make his meaning clear, Zhang Noi added: "Is Mr. Lu a merchant?"
Lord Xinling said: "I don't know. Gentlemen, do you know who Mr. Lu is? When did you get acquainted with Mr. Huang?"
A guest next to the seat moved to the table and said, "I know a thing or two."
Lord Xinling said: "Mr. Cai has contacts with the Lu family?"
Mr. Cai said: "No. I am traveling with Mr. Huang and have heard a little about it."
Lord Xinling said: "Mr. Cai, please tell me the details."
Mr. Cai said: "Before I left the battle, I was invited by Mr. Huang to visit his house. Mr. Huang once said that the Lu family was newly arrived in Daliang City. He was from Wei and was a descendant of Taigong Lu. The branches of his family were scattered, and west of his home I make a living by selling salt horses in the land. Recently, most of the salt horses have been acquired by the King of Qin, and it is difficult for them to make a living, so I decided to sell rice grains instead. I heard your name and wanted to go to see you, so I entrusted you to Mr. Huang."
Lord Xinling said: "Mr. Huang invites you to discuss this matter?"
Mr. Cai said: "That's not true. It is common for merchants in a merchant's house to ask the emperor to visit him. This is normal. If he has no respect for the person, he will not be able to see the emperor's face. The minister observed what Mr. Huang said to Lu His intention was mediocre, and he did not mean to be distinguished and promoted. Unexpectedly, he was ordered to serve as the captain of Daliang, with such a heavy responsibility."
Zhang Noi asked: "Sir, can I meet Mr. Lu?"
Mr. Cai said: "No."
Zhang Noi said: "Sir, why do you think this Lu family is the other Lu family?"
Mr. Cai said: "Because of Mr. Huang, I especially remember this ear!"
Zhang He asked but said no more. Seeing that the Xinling group was speechless, they raised their hands and asked Mr. Cai to return to his seat. Turning back to ask Zhang Noi, he said, "Mr. Zhang suddenly asked Mrs. Lu, which seems to have a profound meaning."
Zhang He said: "The king suddenly ordered Daliang Lieutenant to come to the battle. Why? Daliang Lieutenant came to the emperor's mansion to visit before going out. Why? Mr. Huang ordered Lu to accompany him. Why? I can't figure it out, so I have doubts."
