At night, Gao Zhao and Nannan were lying in their clothes.
"Big brother, thank you"
Nannan's crisp voice was very loud in this silent night.
Gao Zhao rubbed her head:
"'Big brother Nannan hasn't asked you yet, what is your name?"
When Nannan heard this, she felt a little disappointed:
"'Big Brother', I don't have a name"
In this era, girls who are not from aristocratic families are not worthy of having names.
Hearing this, Gao Zhao felt distressed and hugged his daughter tighter:
"Nanny, let me give you a name."
When Nannan heard this, she was extremely happy. This completely eliminated her uneasiness. Nannan was still a little worried that Gao Zhao would abandon her. Although she was young, she had experienced too many human relationships.
"OK"
Gao Zhao thought for a moment,
"Call me Gao Yue. My real name is Gao Zhao. Zhao, that is, Sun. My name is Gao Zhao, and your name is Gao Yue."
When Gao Yue heard this, she liked the name so much that she kept whispering "Gao Yue" in her mouth, as if it was engraved in her heart.
Just like that, I fell asleep in the whisper.
...
The next day, two horses and three people walked towards the outside of the city in the morning light. Under the morning light, the shadows stretched very long.
As the three of them were running around for several days, Chen Dao became a little confused:
"Xiuping, Youzhou is bitterly cold, why go to Youzhou?"
Gao Zhao pretends to be sophisticated:
"There is an old friend in Youzhou, uncle Zhi. This person is also a rare hero."
Chen Dao nodded and said nothing more.
That's right, since Gao Zhao decided to defect to a lord, he decided to investigate the three giants in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The Yellow Turban Uprising gave Liu Bei the opportunity to transform from a commoner to an Anxi County captain.
However, this county captain was only appointed in 188 AD.
More than half a month later, the three of them also arrived at Liu Bei's hometown, Zhuoxian. After inquiring along the way, Gao Zhao and the others learned that at this time, all the Yellow Turbans in Youzhou had been killed. Liu Bei's three brothers led their fellow villagers Yong Ye. Return to Zhuoxian.
"Wow, what a big tree."
After a month of comfort from Gao Zhao and Chen Dao, Gao Yue has gradually recovered from her previous miserable childhood, regained her childlike innocence, and her body has gradually become plump.
Gao Zhao was still dressed in white, but he had a folding fan on his waist. It was out of place in the approaching winter weather. If he hadn't been holding Gao Yue, Gao Zhao would have taken it out and fanned it a few times.
"Yue'er, this tree is the symbol of Lousang Village. The tree is tall and has a big crown. Someone once said that because of this tree, a noble man will be born in Lousang Village."
Gao Yue seemed to understand, but also believed in ghosts and gods, and was no longer so cheerful, as if he was afraid of offending noble people.
Gao Zhao rubbed her head:
"It doesn't matter, you don't have to worry so much when you are with your brother."
"Let's go and see this 'old friend'"
"Dong dong dong", Gao Zhao knocked on the door of Liu Bei's house. This house was not even as good as the house where Wang Yun took refuge. This shows how miserable Liu Bei's life was.
After a while, an old woman opened the door. When the old woman saw the clothes of the three people outside the door, she suddenly became a little cautious.
The old woman is less than forty now, her face is already covered with wrinkles, and her rough hands are holding an unknitted straw sandal.
"Two adults, I don't know what is going on."
Gao Zhao tried his best to appear kind,
"Auntie, just call me Xiuping. I am Xuande's friend. I came to visit you so rashly. Please forgive me."
With that said, he gave the old woman all the fruits and melons he bought on the road.
When the old woman heard that he was Liu Bei's friend, she immediately lost her previous restraint. She put down her straw sandals, wiped her hands on her body, took them with both hands, and kindly invited a few people in.
Chen Dao was silently paying attention to Gao Zhao. Gao Zhao once said that there is a profound truth in talking to people and talking to ghosts. Along the way, as long as Gao Zhao chatted with people, his attention would be Focus on Gao Zhao.
Gao Zhao was not afraid of getting his white shirt dirty when he entered the house, he just did it wherever he wanted, nodding secretly.
Liu Bei deserves to be a prince. His mother treats others well and has good etiquette.
The old woman brought out two cups of hot water and handed them to the two of them. At the same time, she took out the fruits she brought and handed them to Gao Yue.
"Xiuping, have a cup of hot water to go and get rid of the cold. Xuande is drinking at Yide's house. I have asked Ergouzi to find him and come back."
Gao Zhao returned the smile and started chatting with the old woman.
A moment later, there was a running sound outside the door. After the door opened, the eyes of Gao Zhao and others were instantly attracted.
Mother Liu stood up, smelled the smell of alcohol, and looked at Liu Bei accusingly.
"Drinking so much again, Xiuping came all the way from Luoyang to see you. Please entertain them well."
After saying that, Mother Liu took out a few copper coins from her arms and stuffed them into Liu Bei's arms. It seemed that these were the only few coins she had.
While Gao Zhao was looking at Liu Bei and the others, Liu Bei and the other three were also looking at Gao Zhao and the others.
After looking at it for a moment, Gao Zhao stood up and bowed with his hands:
"This must be Xuande. I've heard for a long time that Xuande has an extraordinary appearance. It's true."
Liu Bei's ears are indeed not small, but he is really handsome.
Liu Bei looked puzzled:
"Brother, do we know each other?"
Gao Zhao shook his head:
"No, but I have been friends with God Xuande for a long time."
Speaking of this, Gao Zhao looked at the two people next to him and bowed to each other:
"These two are Yun Chang and Yide, right?"
The two people beside Liu Bei were one with a ruddy complexion and a long beard hanging down from his chest, and the other with a dark complexion and as strong as an ox, with slightly sloppy hair that fluttered gently in the wind.
"Exactly" "Exactly"
Gao Zhao took a few people to sit everywhere, and Liu Bei was a little confused.
This seems to be my home.
Gao Zhao took out the folding fan from his waist, opened it with a "昘" sound, fanned it twice, and said:
"I'm Gao Zhao, Gao Xiuping, this is my brother Chen Dao, Chen Shuzhi, this is my sister Gao Yue"
"I have heard for a long time that Xuande is benevolent and righteous and dedicated to serving the country. This time, the three Xuande brothers have made great contributions in pacifying the Yellow Turban bandits in Youzhou."
When Liu Bei and others heard this, they looked a little proud.
Zhang Fei even raised his head proudly:
"That's right, my eldest brother took the greatest credit in this campaign against thieves."
Liu Bei was a little embarrassed when he heard this. There was no way he could boast.
Gao Zhao nodded in agreement, waving the folding fan in his hand, and the cold wind blew:
"Yun Chang and Yide's contribution is not small. If it were not for Yun Chang and Yide, then the Yellow Turban Army's commanders Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao would probably be invincible."
Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao were the commanders of the Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou. In this battle, Guan Yu beheaded Cheng Yuanzhi and Zhang Fei beheaded Deng Mao.
When Liu Bei and the other three heard this, they felt very comfortable in their hearts. They also let go of the vigilance in their eyes and said softly:
"I don't know what Shuhei is here for this time."
Gao Zhaoxiang said like an old friend:
"Without him, I want to meet heroes like Xuande, Yun Chang, and Yide, and see what Xuande's plans are next."
Before Liu Bei could speak, Zhang Fei hurriedly spoke:
"Of course I'm waiting for the imperial court's decree. This time my eldest brother has made great contributions to the imperial court. The worst the imperial court can do is grant my eldest brother the title of prefect."
Hearing this, Gao Zhao stopped waving the folding fan and said calmly:
"I'm afraid not"
