Mr. Guo smiled and said: "Mr. Hu Zhong is willing to stay, but I can't ask for it. But the eldest son will lean on the door and look at him."
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "Sir, you have taken great pains to stay with me, but you can easily let go. Do you want to humiliate me?"
Mr. Guo said: "It's not a humiliation. When I take charge of the city, I only want to protect the king and offer sacrifices in peace, and the rest is not what I planned. Now that I have mastered the master's plan, my mission has been achieved, and I have no time to pay respect to you. How can I be humiliated!"
Mr. Hu Zhong thought for a while and said: "In this case, I should resign." Without waiting for Mr. Guo to react, he stood up from his seat and walked out of the window.
Mr. Guo waited for Mr. Hu Zhong to leave, took out a small piece of graphite from his arms, tore off a small piece of cloth from his underwear, wrote a few words on the cloth, and asked Zheng Anping and others to come in and stuff the cloth strip. He entered Zheng Anping's hair and said to Zheng and Su: "You two will rush back to Daliang immediately to meet your Majesty before the morning court."
Zheng Anping said: "Both of us are gone, only Mr. is left?"
Mr. Guo said: "I am as stable as Mount Tai, so don't worry about me."
The two of them did not dare to say anything. After going out, they each took a horse and prepared fodder and water. The city lord ordered the city gate to be opened, and the two mounted their horses and disappeared into the dark night.
Mr. Guo did not go out to see the two off, but still sat quietly in the room where Zosan once lived. The torches gradually went out, and the room fell into darkness...
Mr. Guo stood up, walked to the window, and opened it. Not long after, five more people came in from the window, all dressed in black, as light as five snowflakes. Mr. Guo whispered a few words to them, opened the door and came out. He said to the host of Nilu: "There are thieves in this room. No one can come near, otherwise it will be considered as a conspiracy with the thief." The city lord was nearby and even threatened, so he must stay away from this room.
Mr. Guo said to the city lord: "I haven't slept for half the night, I am really sleepy. I am willing to return."
The city lord quickly led the way and led Mr. Guo back to his room. On the way, Mr. Guo said sternly: "I hope the city lord will forget what I saw tonight. It is night, and the city lord is just sleeping peacefully, for no other reason!" The city lord agreed quickly.
Entering his room, Mr. Guo opened the window first. All five men in black arrived. Without saying much, they walked straight up the pillars to the beams, and in just a moment, they were scattered in every corner of the house. When I was young, I reported back: "There are only two people in the courtyard, the grandson and the grandson, but no one else is seen. They are both asleep and there is no movement. There are only night watchmen in the city, but there are no other people."
Mr. Guo nodded and said, "We can explore Shijian Nilu and the City Lord's Mansion again." The five people climbed out of the window. Mr. Guo lay on his side on the straw mat and slept in a quilt.
About an hour later, a man in black came in through the window and said: "The city lord's palace is so big that it's hard to see all of it. Travelers who are not sleeping are not allowed to enter." Mr. Guo seemed to be asleep and said: "Yes!" The man in black climbed out of the window.
As the rooster crows, the door of each house is opened. Mr. Guo stepped out of the room and moved around in the courtyard. The host of the Nilu also came out. When he saw Mr. Guo, he nodded and said hello: "Hakka, get up early!"
Mr. Guo responded: "The store owner gets up early!"
The old man said: "Hakka, come and sleep peacefully at night!"
Mr. Guo said: "That's it for the first time!"
The old man said: "Why haven't you seen Dr. Yu?"
Mr. Guo said: "He has official business and left overnight."
The old man said: "I am so stupid that I don't even know."
Mr. Guo said: "We know that if an elder lies high and peaceful, he must be a blessed person."
The old man said: "I am a Hakka, so good luck!"
Mr. Guo said: "If you hear that there are weapons and swords in Dao City, can you get it and hear it?"
The old man was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully, "Who are the Hakkas asking for military help?"
Mr. Guo said: "There is no other, but I want to use it."
In the end, the old man did not tell the truth and said: "The Hakkas have good relations with the city lord. You can consult the city lord about this matter and you will definitely get something. - Don't tell me!"
Mr. Guo said: "Thank you for your advice, elder! If you can get a short stick or bamboo pole to replace the sword, can you get it?"
The old man probably thought that a short stick would be nothing, so he went to a side room, pulled out a short stick and said, "This stick was originally intended to be used as a chariot, so I keep it. If you like it, sir, you can take it away."
Mr. Guo took the short stick and it was obviously broken. It was only three feet long and there were obvious cuts on it. Mr. Guo did not say anything, took out a piece of money from his pocket and said: "I am very grateful to the elder. I am willing to share the fruit with the elder."
The old man didn't expect that Mr. Guo could still give him money, and said: "How much can a stubborn stick be worth? I want Hakka money."
Mr. Guo said: "The stick is very handy, please keep it, elder." The old man accepted the money.
Mr. Guo held the stick in his hand, made a posture, and danced his sword. After he stopped, he heard a cheer from outside the door. When Mr. Guo looked, it was the city lord who came over. The city lord clapped his hands and said: "Sir, when I look at you, you can see that you are a Confucian scholar. But you are a swordsman, even if you are skilled and well-educated, how can you do that?"
Mr. Guo threw the stick on the ground, cupped his hands and said, "How can a minister be worthy of the title of city lord? How can I sleep well at night?"
Seeing Mr. Guo's secret wink, the city lord said, "Have a good night's sleep! Are you okay, sir?"
Mr. Guo said: "After a good sleep, I feel refreshed!" Both of them laughed. The city lord said: "My house is ready, sir. Come in with us."
Mr. Guo said: "Let me change my clothes!" He picked up the stick and went into the house. When I came out as a teenager, although I still had the same clothes, it was neatly finished. After leaving the door and entering the city lord's mansion, breakfast was already laid out in the hall, but this time there was no one else around, just the two of them eating together.
Mr. Guo said: "You can get hundreds of strong men in your city. With a little practice, you can become an elite. That's why I want the city to teach me."
The city lord said: "I dare to express my heart to you, sir. I hope you will listen carefully. Those who get the militia should be farmers, and they should cultivate the southern acres diligently, more important than guarding the home. There are many merchants in our city, traveling all over the world, and only the old and the young are at home. If Mr. During the reverse journey, there was only one ancestor and one grandson. His father and mother were both away from home, and they returned only once every year or even several years later. How could they serve as soldiers?"
Mr. Guo asked: "How many people are there all the time?"
The city lord said: "In the former book, those who are registered as farmers are only a few households, and the rest are included."
Mr. Guo said: "You have both, why would you rather protect the country and the family?"
The city lord said: "I don't dare to hope. At the beginning of our city, we also set up hunting in the Spring and Autumn Period, but the standing troops only had four or five ministers. What is it? All of them are preparing for the army but in vain, and they don't do it."
Mr. Guo said: "What if we ask businessmen to donate troops to replace them?"
The city lord said: "Businessmen like to care about each other the most. If the number of troops donated is too high, then there will be enough troops; if the number of troops donated is not enough, there will be no troops left."
Mr. Guo said: "The city lord is sincere and mature."
The city lord said: "If you don't dare to speak out, I have been in charge of the city for more than ten years, and I know whether it is warm or not!"
Mr. Guo said: "Three animals may arrive today, so we can ask the villagers to wait and see at the top of the city wall to welcome them."
The city lord said: "Why welcome him?"
Mr. Guo said: "Everyone who sees it will bow down on the spot. If there is a slight collision, the condition will be indescribable!"
The city lord said: "In that case, after dinner, the ministers will beat drums to gather the crowd. Sir, he will explain in detail. Don't let everyone break the law."
Mr. Guo said: "It depends on the city lord! Where is the prison for the three animals?"
The city lord said: "If it is placed in another place, it will be difficult for the ministers to feel at ease, but if it is placed in my house, it will be nothing more than common people!"
Mr. Guo said: "Sir, please worry!"
After the two had breakfast, they climbed up the tower and the city lord beat the drum. The people in the city knew that something was announced and gathered outside the city one after another.
The city lord said loudly: "Today, Daliang will send the three animals for sacrifice to the city. The three animals are sacred objects and cannot be collided with. Mr. Daliang Guo is afraid that we are ignorant, so he will tell each other about the matter!"
Mr. Guo almost never spoke loudly. As soon as he said "three animals" loudly, he choked and coughed, which made everyone laugh. The city lord could only say: "Sir, keep your voice low, I will convey it to you later!"
Mr. Guo then said in a normal voice: "The three animals are cattle, sheep and hogs."
The city lord relayed loudly: "The three animals are cattle, sheep and hogs."
Mr. Guo said: "The things used in the ceremony include calves, lambs, and dolphin babies!"
The city lord said: "The ones used for sacrifice are calves, lambs, and piglets!"
Mr. Guo said: "The coat is bright and the body is upright."
The city lord said: "You must grow upright!"
Mr. Guo said: "Eat with mountain delicacies and drink with fine wine."
The city lord said: "Feed with the best water!"
Mr. Guo said: "His nature is spiritual."
The city lord said: "This is how you can communicate with the gods!"
Mr. Guo said: "Three animals have entered the city."
The city lord said: "Three animals have come into my city."
Mr. Guo said: "We ordinary people all need to bow down and worship."
The city lord said: "We mortals must bow to the ground and are not allowed to look!"
Mr. Guo said: "Anyone who collides will be killed and martyred!"
The city lord said: "If you look at it, you are attacking the god, kill him!"
Someone below the city said, "Why did you misunderstand Nai?"
Mr. Guo said: "Kill without pardon! I dare not deceive God!"
The city lord said: "Kill them all! So parents should be careful and take good care of their children, otherwise..."
Someone in the city said angrily: "You have to bully me! Would you rather we want to get the three animals? Why bully them! They kill people at every turn, including children!"
Mr. Guo said: "That's why in Daliang City, the three animals have their own sacred way. They are covered by curtains and everyone avoids them."
The city lord said: "In Daliang City, there are special sacred ways for the three animals. They are covered with curtains and everyone avoids them."
The people below the city said: "Can we all avoid it today?"
Mr. Guo said: "The three animals will definitely arrive today. I hope all villages will close their doors and houses, and be careful not to peep."
The city lord said: "The three animals are coming today. Everyone should go home and close their doors. Don't peep."
Mr. Guo said: "There may be peepers. If they are not killed, disaster will befall the country!"
The city lord said: "If someone peeks and is not discovered, the whole city will suffer!"
Just as I said this, I saw three horses galloping towards me on the other side of the Great Wall. Mr. Guo stopped in confusion and looked over there. Gradually, as we got closer, we could see clearly that these three knights were all dressed in Wang family attire. Even Mr. Guo was a little panicked now. He quickly let the villagers disperse, and he and the city lord rushed down to the city to greet him.
The three riders galloped outside the city and saw only two people standing by the road, with their hands crossed and their chests crossed. One of them asked: "Who is Mr. Guo?"
Mr. Guo quickly agreed: "Wei Shu Guo!"
The man said: "I have been ordered by Prime Minister Wei to come to see where the three animals are."
Mr. Guo didn't know the fate, so he had to respond: "Please stop the horse, Lieutenant Commander!" The three people jumped off the horse. Mr. Guo and the city lord quickly took it and led the horse to follow.
