, wonderful and free of pop-ups! Zhao Guo, Guo Mansion Small Courtyard.
During his days in Guofu, although Zhao Gao looked idle, his daily life was actually very regular. Get up in the morning and practice swordplay for an hour. After serving food, listen to the information brought by Zhang Jing, and then start reading. When Guo Kaikong is free, he comes over to discuss with him how to deal with Li Mu.
If there was sunshine that day and the temperature in the courtyard rose, he would ask Li Xun for help. The two of them would work together to move the small wicker couch to the courtyard. He would spread a soft fur blanket on it and lay down half of it with a volume of books. Enjoy the warmth of the spring sun on the small rattan couch and watch slowly.
A small courtyard may seem peaceful and peaceful, but in fact there are more than a dozen secret guards hiding inside. Being good at hiding is also the most basic quality of secret guards, so they can always hide without leaving any trace.
Later, Zhao Gao was afraid of their hard work and felt that it was not practical in Guo Kai's territory, so he ordered them to take turns to change their posts. The brothers who were not on the post would find a place to rest by themselves, while the brothers who were on the post would have to work harder. If there was any trouble, , just send the signal immediately.
Nothing happened for a few days, and everyone gradually relaxed their guard. Who would have thought that when Zhao Gao was engrossed in reading, Li Xun reached out and pushed him. He looked up blankly and saw that all the secret guards who had been sunbathing in the yard were looking at him, waiting for his instructions.
Li Xun finally figured out his habits in the past few days. He knew that he was more serious about reading, so it was difficult for the surrounding movements to affect him, so he took the initiative to bend down and lowered his voice and said to him: "This person is one of Guo Kai's concubines. , it shouldn’t be Xizuo, he came to see you..."
His tone seemed a little awkward. As soon as Zhao Gao came to his senses, two words popped up in his mind - catch the adulterer.
No matter how good Zhao Gao was, he couldn't help but feel a bit dumbfounded when faced with this kind of thing. But if he really couldn't ignore this little thing, he wouldn't be Mr. Zhao. At this time, he couldn't cry or laugh, so Mr. Zhao simply didn't bother to waste this expression and this thought.
In addition to his own people in this courtyard, Guo Kai also sent a few people to guard the passage from a distance for safety reasons. Since so many people did not stop him, it means that someone is happy to see what happened. Although Zhao Gao has no way of knowing who exactly is and what An's thoughts are, he is not in a hurry.
It was not convenient for the secret guards in the courtyard to reveal their identity, and if they came to stop her, they would be suspected of not having three hundred taels of silver in the place, so Zhao Gao made a quick judgment and waved his hand, telling them to scatter and hide immediately.
When everyone was hidden, Zhao Gao picked up the book and continued to read as if no one else was around. If he hadn't been afraid that he would be so absorbed in reading that he would forget to pay attention and ignore the people who came, he would not even have the slightest attention at the courtyard gate. forward. Soon the concubine opened by Guo stormed into the courtyard with two maids.
Li Xun saw the way Zhao Gao lowered his head to read and knew that he was not very reliable. What if he really forgot... With this thought, he moved a little closer to Zhao Gao warily, looking at the cursing young woman as if facing an enemy. people.
"The female gentleman said that there is a vixen who is both male and female living in this yard. I want to see what he looks like today." If these words can cause ripples in Zhao Gao's heart, then he really doesn't have to mess around with them. Years old, so he seemed not to hear it, and couldn't even raise his eyelids in cooperation.
Li Xun, on the other hand, looked at the beautiful woman Yingying approaching and couldn't help but marvel that Guo Kai's vision was really good. The beautiful woman is as beautiful as a peach, as bright as a flower, and has a graceful figure. His face was covered with heavy makeup, which made his beautiful eyes and lips look particularly beautiful. But for some reason, Li Xun was used to seeing Zhao Gao's plainness, and Li Xun felt a little bored looking at such a beauty for no reason.
Although the clothes Zhao Gao is currently wearing are made of luxurious materials, they are still the most elegant white clothes. On the head, even the commonly used sandalwood hairpin is omitted. Half of the hair is loosely tied with a ribbon of the same color as the clothes, and the other half is draped on the back. The whole person looks cleaner and more relaxed than before with his hair tied up.
However, Li Xun came back to his senses and found that he had compared Zhao Gao to such a gaudy woman. He glanced at Zhao Gao guiltily and found that he was still reading calmly, and he blamed himself more than ever.
Guo Kai's concubine had her eyes fixed on Zhao Gao as soon as she came in. Seeing that he was wearing the best things and was padded with the best things, she was extremely jealous and wanted to take advantage of him with words. She didn't want the other party to even waste the time to look up at her, and she was even more furious. She didn't care about her image, so she rushed over and raised her hand to greet Zhao Gao in the face.
With Li Xun here, the slap would naturally not fall on Zhao Gao. Her hand was held up very skillfully without even letting her touch the corners of her clothes. Of course, even if Li Xun is not here, as long as he is not concentrating on reading as he is now, with Zhao Gao's skill, this slap will not fall on him.
With her hands restrained, the beautiful woman wanted to kick her, but Li Xun deliberately put some force on her legs to block Zhao Gao. The beautiful woman's kick was vicious and she used 100% of her strength. However, just by kicking a big man's strong and tight legs, she was still shocked to the point of retreating in a panic. Fortunately, the maid next to her helped her in time. Didn't fall to the ground.
Zhao Gao always liked peace and quiet. Seeing that the two maids wanted to stand up for their mistress, he felt that it was not an option to let them continue to make such a noise. Moreover, he calculated the time and estimated that Guo Kai would go home soon, so he slowly looked up. Xiang kindly reminded the beautiful woman: "It's not a good idea to come to me."
Just now, Zhao Gaowei lowered his head. The beautiful woman did not see his appearance clearly. Now that she was facing his clear eyes, she felt that she had lost her confidence. Her cherry mouth unconsciously opened into a small circle, and she couldn't help it for a long time. close.
In fact, she has seen a lot of people with good-looking faces, both men and women. If you really want to count, this person's face can only be considered to be average or slightly above average among those people, but it left the most shocking impression on her, just because She had never seen anyone with such clear and piercing eyes.
In this way, when she thought of her husband's recent performance, she was completely confused and forgot everything. She pointed angrily at Zhao Gao and said: "Who do you think you are? You haven't been in the house for so many days. I went to meet the queen, and now I dare to use this..."
"It's not a good idea to come to me at this time." Zhao Gao had a very good temper. Although he didn't answer her words, he reminded her openly again.
But the beautiful woman obviously didn't appreciate it: "How shameless, you vixen!"
Zhao Gao didn't change his expression, smiled calmly, and used the key points he had previously grasped from the beautiful woman's words to help her analyze one by one: "I heard what you mean, the lady is obviously dissatisfied with me, but why doesn't she come here in person? ? Furthermore, why did she advise you to choose this time? And have you ever thought about why you were allowed to come in unimpeded despite being guarded by many people along the way? "
The beautiful woman came today to chase someone away, but she didn't expect the man to ask three questions in a row, which made her stunned on the spot. She was about to continue to have an attack, but all the questions this person asked were on point, and she suddenly realized: this might really be a trap used by the queen to correct herself. Thinking of this, an uncontrollable chill ran down her spine.
But leaving now is tantamount to admitting that she lost in front of this person, and she lost miserably. She couldn't afford to lose this person anyway, so she argued unwillingly: "You...you...this vixen, what are you talking about?" What, I don’t understand!”
For the first time, Zhao Gao seemed a little embarrassed, and he murmured in a long and hesitant voice: "But..." When the beautiful woman saw and heard this, she thought she had repeatedly called him a "vixen". He finally felt ashamed and was very happy in his heart. He raised his chin and asked arrogantly: "But what?"
"Seriously" he put down the book in his hand, and Zhao Gao stood up slightly and asked: "I am a man, even if I am a fox, shouldn't I be a fox demon?" At this time, he looked at people with a questioning look. That's called sincerity. The thick-skinned words came out casually, but she still looked calm and kind-hearted, which choked the beautiful woman to the point where she opened her mouth several times and forgot what she was going to say.
Li Xun stood aside watching and listening, not knowing what he felt in his heart. He never dared to look at the beautiful woman's face again.
"This is not the place you should be here. Leave before the male gentleman comes back." Zhao Gao had said all he needed to say and leaned back lazily. He didn't intend to say anything more, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of Guo Gao. She leaned against the courtyard door and watched his jokes with a look on her face.
He curled his lips and Shi Shiran stood up. Guo Kai's scalp was numb from his laughter. He didn't know what he was going to do. He could only watch him slowly walking towards him, and then stood still one step away from him, with a warm smile. He called out: "Mr. Jun." Guo Kai, who had not yet woken up from the cold, heard him say again in a daze: "You must make the decision for me."
Zhao Gao's tone was clearly not pretentious at all, and he sounded calm and everything was normal. But after hearing this, Guo Kai's hair stood up all over his body. He felt numb from his heels to his scalp, and then his body trembled slightly, and goosebumps suddenly fell off. Then he looked at him with misery and "pleading" eyes, as if he was silently accusing: Uncle, little brother, can we stop making trouble?
Zhao Gao looked at him leisurely and said with his eyes: Okay, then this is your housework, you can handle it. Don't blame me if you continue to watch the show. So the two of them reached a consensus in silence.
In the past few days, Guo Kai was busy instigating Zhao Wangqian to deal with Gongzi Jia. The monarch and his ministers cherished this opportunity to rectify people. In addition, Guo Kai came to Zhao Gao to discuss Li Mu's matter with him if he was not careful. The beauty has been left out in the cold, and the beauty only thinks that he has this new and different love and then forgets about his old love. How can he feel at peace in his heart?
What's worse is that even the wife of the family was alarmed by this incident, so his wife took advantage of the situation and lured Fang Ji over to have some fun and explore her husband's attitude. If Fang Ji makes impulsive mistakes, that would be better, she can also take the opportunity to punish her. Fang Ji.
Guo Kai felt that Fang Ji acted inappropriately today, and his wife should not have done anything wrong. However, after all, Fang Ji was his most beloved concubine, and he could not bear to punish her. Fortunately, Zhao Gao had a good attitude and made it clear that he had been deliberately avoiding suspicion and did not want to interfere. Guo Kai was also happy to put the matter to rest.
So he held Fang Ji in his arms and coaxed: "Ai Ji, don't act nonsense, go back." Fang Ji seemed to be unwilling after hearing what he said, and stood still. Seeing that what he said had no effect, Guo Kai couldn't bear to scold her, so he simply killed the chicken to scare the monkeys. He lowered his face and said sternly to the two maids behind her: "Go back and tell the lady for me: Hao Sheng will control the inner courtyard. This will not happen again in the future." If something happens, don’t blame me.”
Fang Ji saw that his expression changed. Although it was not for her, she understood the seriousness. After listening to Guo Kai's soft words of comfort, she finally looked at Zhao Gao sadly for the last time and left the yard reluctantly. .
This episode was quickly forgotten the next day.
"Sir, our food, grass and baggage are ready. General Wang will send troops tomorrow." Zhang Jingang got the news and reported it to Zhao Gao immediately without delay. At this time, Zhao Gao was dragging Li Xun to fight with him. After hearing this, he only said to Zhang Jing, "Thank you for your hard work. Go and rest first." But he had no intention of stopping.
After all, there are only a few people who can keep their composure in everything. Zhao Gao is obviously still the best among the "few". He is not in a hurry at this time, but others are anxious: "Sir, why don't you let me do it?"
Zhao Gao took Li Xun's move and took advantage of the gap before the next move came to say: "No hurry, wait a moment." Li Xun was anxious and made some confusion in his hands. Originally, Zhao Gao's swordsmanship was not as good as his, but now he seized the opportunity and defeated him.
"You see, many times what you are waiting for is an opportunity."
Zhao Gao's swordsmanship is not good, and he is not as good as someone like Li Xun who has been practicing swordsmanship since childhood. However, his moves are very stable, clean, and clever. Most of them use softness to overcome strength, so he can often hold back during sword duels. The opponent waited for a while to prevent himself from being defeated too early. Even if the opponent is slightly distracted, he still has a chance to turn the tide and win the opponent.
"I am ashamed, I have been with you for so long, but I have not been able to get two out of ten in this matter." Zhao Gao slowly shook his head: "It's good that you can keep your composure when you are lurking." Zhao Gao said. Gao discussed the matter and praised it without hesitation.
He is very gentle and often makes people feel like they are like a spring breeze. This was Li Xun's impression of Zhao Gao at the beginning. But it's strange that after getting along for a long time, Li Xun feels that he can't help but give people a sense of distance, because he seems to be gentle to everyone, but when you feel that you are very close to him, he will Discovery: It turns out there is still a long way to go.
This distance will make you afraid to make mistakes in front of him.
