"Sir, Hou Zhao is guilty."
"Ah? What's your crime?" Cao Pi was surprised. Song Xin, Wei Tong and others also didn't understand what she meant and looked at her curiously.
At this time, Hou Zhao shed tears in his eyes and said, "Hou Zhao deceived the young master. In fact... I did not come to Xudu to find a bride."
"Aren't you here to find relatives?" Cao Pi was slightly startled.
Hou Zhao saw Cao Pi's concerned eyes and finally seemed to have made a decision.
Wei Tong also advised: "Girl, don't worry, you have been helpful to our family, and we will not make things difficult for you. Why did you come to Xudu alone?"
"Mr. Cao, Lord Colonel, I'm not here to visit my relatives, I'm escaping..."
A hint of surprise flashed across the faces of Cao Pi, Wei Tong and Song Xin. Finally, Cao Pi comforted him: "Girl, please speak slowly. If you encounter any injustice, I will definitely avenge you!"
A trace of emotion flashed across Hou Zhao's face, "Actually, my surname is not Hou, my surname is Guo, and my name is Guo Zhao. My father is Guo Yong, who once served as the prefect of Nanjun in the imperial court."
As soon as these words came out, Wei Tong and Cao Pi were stunned.
Wei Tong asked in surprise: "Guo Yong? Your father is Guo Yong?!"
"Why does Madam know my father?"
Wei Tong looked at the woman in front of him carefully and asked, "Do you have a sister? Her name is Guo Yu?"
This time Guo Zhao was also confused, "How does Mr. Wei know?"
At this time, Cao Pi also looked thoughtful and said: "I once heard that Guo Yong had two daughters. The second daughter was named Guo Zhao, nicknamed Queen. She behaved like a man and was quite chivalrous. It turned out that she was you?!"
Guo Zhao was at a loss as to why the two people in front of him knew so much about him.
However, when Song Xin heard the words "Queen Guo", her body suddenly shook in astonishment, and her heart was like five thunders. Song Xin couldn't help but look at Guo Zhao and secretly exclaimed: "She is actually the later Queen Wendeguo! Guo Zhao! Queen!"
Guo Zhao was also surprised that Cao Pi and Wei Tong could tell their own life experiences. At this time, Wei Tong said: "Perhaps you don't remember, but I once visited your home when I was traveling in Nanjun in the early years. You were only two years old at that time. Once I saw you helping to defend the slaves who had done wrong and let them You were spared a beating, you were smart and quick with your words, and you were quite chivalrous at a young age. I told your father at that time that you would definitely be the king of girls in the future, and your father would give it to you as soon as he was happy. The word is called Queen."
Guo Zhao naturally did not remember that Wei Tong came to his home back then, "Master Wei, have you met my father? Did you give me my name?"
"What a coincidence in the world. I had a chance encounter with Guo Yong back then, but when I went to visit Nanjun again, he had died of illness and his family members were missing." Wei Tong said this. At this point, there was a little more emotion in his tone.
Cao Pi also sighed: "Yes, everything in this world is so coincidental. Who would have thought that Governor Guo's daughter would appear here. I guess you have suffered a lot in these years. Why did you come to Xudu? You guys?" Where did the whole family go?"
When Guo Zhao heard them mentioning his father, he said with tears in his eyes: "When I was six years old, my brother died early, my father died of illness, and my family was separated. I was entrusted to my uncle, but I didn't know that he actually sold me to Bingzhou Tongtan. County, I went to the local Hou family to become a dancer. At that time, my surname was changed to Hou."
Wei Tong slammed the table and said angrily: "Your uncle sold you to be a dancer? Then how did you escape later?"
"When I turned sixteen, the Hou family wanted to give me to a local powerful man as a concubine. The man was already sixty years old and was seriously ill. I also heard from the little sisters that the relatives in the old man's family were very vicious. I knew I would be bullied by them if I went there, so I ran away."
Cao Pi asked: "What happened next?"
"Later, I wandered around for several years. I first went to the Northland, but was captured by the Huns. I stole a horse while they were drunk and escaped back. I followed a caravan and sneaked into the Great Wall. Who knew the caravan? The leader wanted me to sleep with him again. I fled again overnight and met a Xianbei caravan. The people here were kind to me and gave me clothes and food, so I followed them south, walking and wandering. For more than several years. Later I heard
He said that my sister is in Xudu and wants to come here to seek refuge..."
Song Xin discovered that she did not tell the story about Zhujia Town being captured by bandits.
"Mr. Cao, Mr. Wei, I heard that the Hou family has issued a document to take me back. I don't want to go back."
Cao Pi waved his hand and said, "How can I let you go into the pit of fire again? As long as I am here, no one will dare to take you back. Just go and stay in my house. I will write a document and send it to Bingzhou to tell them to withdraw their treatment of you." pursuit."
When Guo Zhao heard that Cao Pi was willing to take him in, he was so happy that he knelt down and kowtowed. She has lived a life on the run for so many years, and now she can have a safe place to live without having to worry about men with evil intentions. It is a great blessing for her. Moreover, Cao Pi and Wei Tong also met her father, and they felt closer and grateful to them.
Song Xin was secretly surprised, "It turns out that this is how Cao Pi and Queen Guo met... I actually became the person who witnessed their acquaintance."
Cao Pi said, "I will leave for Jizhou soon, so please come with me."
After the banquet was over, Song Xin told Feipeng about Guo Zhao on the way back to the Qing Commercial Office. Feipeng was also shocked when he heard that Guo Zhao was actually the daughter of Guo Yong. But then, she became silent and extremely quiet.
"Feipeng, are you still afraid of what happened today?" Song Xin thought she was still afraid, so she asked softly.
"Young Master, I..." Feipeng said, getting wrapped up in Song Xin's arms.
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
"I don't want to go back."
"Don't want to go back?"
Hearing this, Song Xin was slightly startled.
Fei Peng seemed to hesitate, then shook his head slightly.
"No, I just don't know how to live in it anymore."
Song Xin stopped the car on the side of the road and said, "Is there someone bullying you inside?"
Feipeng shook his head, "Although Master and Snu were very kind to me, when I went back, I was that humble singer again. Only when I was with you did I feel the meaning of equality you said." At that time, Song Xin That sentence was like a seed that sprouted in her heart. In addition, after hearing that Guo Zhao had regained his freedom, Feipeng also yearned for it even more.
Suddenly, she looked at Song Xin with burning eyes, "Sir, please pick me up! Okay?"
"Pick it up?"
Xiaoyu said: "Song Xin, you are an idiot, why don't you agree quickly?"
Song Xin understood what she meant, nodded and said, "I will take you away, and I will not give you up to anyone else! I will beg the Prime Minister to give you up to me."
"What if he doesn't agree?"
"There will always be a way, even if I have to go to the battlefield again!" Song Xin seemed to have made up his mind.
After Song Xin said these words, Feipeng rushed into Song Xin's arms, and tears flowed down instantly. She suddenly had the courage to peck Song Xin's face gently and said, "I've been waiting for you to come! I've been yours for a long time."
The car stopped outside the Qing Commercial Department, and watching Feipeng leave, Song Xin's mood became a little complicated.
