The next morning, Guo Kang had breakfast with the priests and prepared to leave the Empress Temple. Lama Wang asked him to wait for a while. Not long after, he saw Tuo Huan and Theodora appearing at the door on horseback and with a group of entourage.
"Why are you running here!" Tuohuan came up and greeted him: "Master Wang specially sent someone to send me a message. I thought something had happened."
Theodora behind him also jumped off the horse and glared at him angrily.
Guo Kang was confused and didn't know why she was suddenly unhappy. She wanted to ask and found out that it was Shi Huizhen who was holding the horse for her. Considering that this person was present, Guo Kang still felt that no matter what he said, it would be best to wait until later.
Fortunately, she seemed to listen to Theodora's words. Theodora asked everyone to wait aside, but she really stayed where she was and did not come up to cause trouble.
Theodora grabbed Guo Kang, dragged him to a corner under the porch, and waved Tuohuan over.
"What's wrong?" Guo Kang asked.
Without saying a word, Theodora took out a piece of paper and handed it to Guo Kang. Guo Kang reached out and took it, only to see the beginning of it written in crooked letters: "To the Cow Lady." At first glance, it is Meltem's handiwork.
In the letter, Meltem, who wished to remain anonymous, reported to her that someone was planning a conspiracy related to Guo Kang and others. Although Theodora was obviously very unhappy at the beginning, the content of the letter was very valuable.
Meltem briefly wrote down what he saw and heard, and said he would continue to follow the other party. However, she believes that there are also specially trained people in the hostile conspiracy organization, allowing her to "smell the smell of the enemy." Therefore, the subsequent investigation may not be completely smooth, and it is recommended that other aspects should also be started.
At the end of the letter, she suggested that Theodora take the initiative to teach this bad Greek woman and the forces behind her, otherwise, her brother would immediately abandon the bloated and useless Greek cow and live a happy life with his smart and lovely sister.
Guo Kang thought for a while and then realized that he had not noticed the other party's possible surveillance at that time. It was not until after departure that I began to estimate the potential enemy's strength, and I was wrong.
In this regard, Meltem thought more clearly than he thought. Regardless of the deliberately provocative parts at the beginning and end, these messages are summarized quite professionally...
Meltem's reaction and her nickname are really hilarious. But Theodora kept staring at him, making Guo Kang dare not laugh. Fortunately, Tu Huan arrived in time and saved him.
Seeing Guo Kang reading the letter, Tuohuan also joined him. However, Theodora snatched the letter away and refused to show it to him.
"Huh?" Tuohuan was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "You call me and you don't show me, what are you doing?"
"No, no, I'm telling you, something big is going to happen this time." Guo Kang said quickly.
He looked at Theodora, saw her nodding, and said to Tuo Huan: "Li Xuanying is in love with a singing actress. Yesterday, he asked me to help find a way, and I only found out about it. And it happened to be seen by Meltem, so your sister also found out."
"Oh, I remembered." Tuo Huan didn't seem to care at all. He breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "I was shocked. The two of you were so mysterious. I thought someone was coming from tomorrow..."
"You know everything?" Theodora asked.
"Isn't it his lover who is a part-time actor and playwright? I've met him several times before." Tuohuan tried his best to remember: "What's your name...Euripides?"
"Those are the ancient Greeks." Guo Kang's expression almost became tense.
"Call Eudocia." Theodora had no choice but to say directly.
"Oh, yes, the boy's name is Eudoseth, and the girl's name is Eudosia." Tu Huan finally remembered: "Hey, but I didn't take it too seriously before."
"That woman seems to want to marry him. Now I can't worry about it anymore." Guo Kang spread his hands and said.
"Huh? No way." Tuo Huan was a little surprised: "I think she is very knowledgeable and should be a very sensible person. Just..."
He looked back and forth, and finally pointed at Guo Kang: "It looks a bit like you."
"What does it have to do with me?" Guo Kang was puzzled.
"I'm just using this metaphor to mean that this person is not only smart, but also rational." Tuo Huan explained.
"As a woman, you should compare yourself with your sister." Guo Kang said speechlessly: "Compare yourself to me... If the Greeks find out later, I won't be done with you."
"Okay, okay." Tuo Huan had no choice but to nod: "The main reason is that she is really different from my sister. My sister is a bit too Roman in comparison... But you just know what I mean."
"You'd better forget it." Theodora glanced at Tuohuan helplessly: "I can't even describe it well."
"Hey, this feeling is really hard to explain." Tuohuan shook his head: "There are many smart people in the world, but people who are rational enough are not very common. I feel that people like her would not make such a request... "
"Mortals are not heavenly fathers. No matter how rational a person is, there are times when they are impulsive. What's more, people often think rationally around irrational goals." Theodora disagreed: "A young girl with such a background, in When faced with the temptation of becoming Zhu Guo’s wife, it’s normal to be unable to maintain your rationality.”
"Not everyone will be like this." Guo Kang scratched his head.
"It's not a question of how many there are, but the risk is not worth it." Theodora argued categorically: "We are just mortals. Only when both parties are well matched can we try to eliminate the interference of material desires and have enough Realistic conditions to produce true love that transcends the world, and a perfect marriage based on soul compatibility and mutual consent.”
"Sister, your statement is intentional..." I don't even believe it. He looked at Theodora and then at Guo Kang, obviously suspecting that she deliberately added personal information in her narrative.
"Is there any problem?" Theodora didn't admit it. She looked at the two of them and emphasized: "A responsible man should form a family with a suitable lady, instead of getting entangled with a woman whose status is very different and whose origin is unknown. Isn't this right?"
"Yes, yes, you are right." Tuo Huan and Guo Kang had no choice but to say yes again and again.
"The current situation is that he has no respect for himself." Theodora said rudely: "We will help if we can, but forget it if we can't."
"When you were in that situation, you shouldn't be nosy, just say you can't do anything, and then let him come to me."
"I'm here to come forward and talk to his parents. If it's acceptable, then it depends on what kind of status his family will arrange to get rid of this person. If not, then I've tried my best and they can't say anything. .”
"My status is higher than yours, so you introduced me to give them more face. No matter what, there is no reason for others to say that you don't do things for your friends. And, unlike you, I came forward to find the Li family. , even if they fail to take care of some unexpected situations, they won't care too much. Isn't this obviously a better choice? "
She couldn't help it and began to reprimand Guo Kang again: "I told you, if you have a problem, you should think about it carefully. If you encounter a troublesome situation, you should get out of the situation in time. Find the right person to help. Don't intervene casually or make casual promises when the situation is unclear. . It’s normal for you to find it difficult, but isn’t there still me?”
"When encountering difficulties, the first reaction is to think about yourself. This is a sign of responsibility. But when you reach this point, all that is left is arrogance. Have you subconsciously never considered asking a trustworthy person? People ask for help? Or do you always think that I am not worthy of being trusted in this situation? "
"You didn't even think of telling me about such an important matter. You even had to wait for that wild Turkmen girl to mock me before I knew it had happened."
Guo Kang was speechless for a moment.
"Okay, okay, sister, where are you talking about?" Tuohuan said quickly, stopping Theodora's questioning: "You can vent your bad mood, but don't take it out on our brothers. Firstly, When this happens for the first time, who can make the best choice right away? And your plan may not be the best."
"Okay. Leave her alone." He said to Guo Kang: "This guy is just jealous. It doesn't mean that he will take her with him in everything from now on. From now on, just spend more time with her and care about her. You Right?"
Theodora was equally unconvinced by his judgment, but for the sake of the last instruction, she didn't say anything. She just tilted her head slightly and avoided Guo Kang's sight.
"Okay, I understand." Guo Kang thought for a while and nodded.
"Also, although I can't fully support her method, what she said is right." He thought about it carefully and said: "I was so surprised at the time that I said a lot of things to accuse that woman. Now that I think about it, that is actually not the case. The best way to deal with it. If you say it too bluntly, Li Xuanying won’t feel comfortable either.”
"Oh, it's nothing. Let's talk about this matter." Tuo Huan waved his hand and said disapprovingly: "A man should listen to reasonable suggestions, but he doesn't need to be too rigid."
"Li Xuanying is our old brother. As the old saying goes, brothers are siblings, and that woman is just a piece of clothing. Clothes are very precious, can make people miss them, and are even more valuable than many people's wealth. But no matter what, A person who is not poor will not even need his hands and feet to wear a piece of clothing for himself. The Li family is not poor, so they will not reach this point."
"And don't worry, I and the other Andas are supporting you." He patted Guo Kang on the shoulder: "If Li Xuanying falls out with his brother because of a woman, then we have to educate him. .”
When he mentioned it, Guo Kang suddenly felt that this ancient saying sounded quite Greek. Of course, if you are an orthodox Greek, then this matter will be much easier to solve...
Theodora next to him rolled his eyes when he heard this.
"That sounds nice, but what are you going to do now?"
"If you ask me, it's actually not difficult." Tuohuan replied without hesitation: "I'll go find Li Xuanying later, and we can just go and rob people on the street while we have a carnival these days."
"Robbing someone?" Guo Kang didn't react.
"Robbing a civilian girl." Tuohuan reminded: "Oh no, she is pretending to be a man now, she should be... a civilian man?"
"Hey, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the most talkative people in the city are Greeks, so they probably won't care about this."
Guo Kang really never thought of this method. He turned his head to look at Theodora in surprise, and found that the other person also had a puzzled look on his face.
"What are you..."
"It's very simple." Tuohuan said nonchalantly: "Look, what is the biggest threat now? Is this woman and her possible accomplices conspiring, or being used as a tool to cause trouble, right?"
"Yes." Guo Kang nodded.
"Then let's just isolate this key person from other comrades. Forcibly separate the tool from the owner. Isn't that enough?" Tuo Huan spread his hands.
"Uh..." Guo Kang hesitated: "I have thought about arresting people, but I have never thought of such a reason..."
"Then how are you going to arrest her? Are you going to take her to Xibingku directly?" Tuohuan said with a dumbfounded look on his face: "Then how are you going to tell Li Xuanying?"
"If he really wants to treat this girl as his official wife, of course we can dissuade him - in fact, it is not our turn to dissuade him. His father can use the cane to dissuade him." Tuohuan explained:
"But they are just in love now. Even if they say they have the intention to get married, it is just lip service. What if it turns out that it was used to fool and deceive the little girl?"
"I don't think Li Xuanying has the brains..." Guo Kang said helplessly: "This little girl just fooled and deceived him..."
"Don't tell me, if this thing gets bigger, even if he really doesn't cheat, he still has to be defined as cheating. It's not a good thing to spread the word about Zhu Guo's children cheating on the little girl, but it's better than everyone being messed up. Better." Tuohuan shook his head.
"So, even if he is sincere, we can't say it in this direction." He warned: "But you see, the problem is here - they are just lovers now, and the Li family and our family must also say It was just about falling in love. In the end, it was good for you and you just threw his girlfriend away in Xibingku. Even to outsiders, this is not good, right?"
"At that time, we won't be able to speak for you - arresting people is not about falling in love, and it can be passed off ambiguously. We can't let the Li family publicly admit to everyone that it was their boy who wanted to find an actor to marry. Were you forced to take action urgently?"
"By the way, you didn't take action directly, did you let the church arrest people?" he asked.
"Master Wang is a well-informed person. The investigation should have already begun, but he will definitely not be arrested casually." Theodora was confident.
"No. I gave an excuse as a suggestion, but Master Wang didn't agree." Guo Kang replied: "He didn't ask about the specific situation, so he discussed it with me and decided to use the method of dealing with cults to check the other party's organize."
"That's good." Tuohuan nodded.
"It's best to control people. There's no problem with that. But it's best to use the excuse of robbing people while drunk, and let Li Xuanying do it by herself. He himself won't have any grudges." He made arrangements: "Catch him After that, put her under house arrest in the monastery. Is that okay?"
"It's okay, but Li Xuanying's matter will definitely be exposed, and it's inevitable that he will be beaten by his father." Guo Kang thought for a moment: "If this happens, he himself will probably have to enter the Greek market... "
Guo Kang didn't know if Li Xuanying could make him look down. After all, not everyone was like Tuo Huan, who thought of robbing someone when they first came up.
But at this time, he happened to see Shi Huizhen not far away, flirting with other attendants because she was bored.
"Hey, you said, if it was the evil man 'Shi Zetian' who robbed a common man, it would be no problem, right?" He suggested on a whim.
