Mu Huagui

Chapter 165 General Guo

There was news in the palace that the emperor was seriously ill and could not go to court.King Xianjun immediately said that there was a plague outside the city, and he could not go in and out at will, and sent troops to close the city gate.It made people panic all over the capital, and anyone with a bit of a mind knew that this day was about to change.

"Is your family okay?" Lu Huo'er asked instead of answering.

Xia Zisu froze for a moment, no wonder her father didn't think about food and drink these two days, and he also sighed when asked.He replied, "Father never talks about the court affairs at home."

"If, I mean if, if your father forces you to divorce me, what are you going to do."

"Impossible, father can never regret the marriage, Mr. Lu, what happened?" Xia Zisu felt the depression in Lu Huo'er's voice, and asked tremblingly.

"We are outside the city and cannot enter the city. You don't need to ask any more questions, and I can't say too much. I... just came to see you, so I'm leaving first."

Xia Zisu sat on the edge of the bed for a whole night, and at dawn she sent her maid to see if her parents were up.Hearing that his parents were washing up, he dressed and rushed over to say hello.

"Su'er, why is it so early." Mrs. Xia was just about to prepare dinner and serve the master's breakfast when she heard her daughter come to say hello.

After asking her daughter that she hadn't eaten yet, Mrs. Xia asked her to come in and eat together.Looking at her father, Xia Zisu wanted to ask something several times, but she opened her mouth, but didn't ask.

Seeing this, Master Xia waved his hands and said, "You all go down, I have something to say to Madam."

When the slaves and maidservants all retreated, Master Xia glanced at his daughter and said, "You have been smart since you were a child, so you must have noticed something. Then I won't hide it, this world...may be about to change."

Mrs. Xia shook her hands, looked at Master Xia in horror, and then at her daughter, "Could it be the Emperor..."

"The emperor said he was sick and never showed up. There are rumors that the emperor has... the crown prince is too young to be in charge. The servants of the king of the virtuous county come to the door everywhere, and those who follow others will prosper and those who oppose others will perish."

"Father..." Xia Zisu stared at her father with wide eyes.

"That's right, I also approached my father, and said that if you let you retire and have nothing to do with the Lu family, then we will keep our family safe. Otherwise..." Master Xia sighed, he was just an ordinary household official.It's just because he was placed in the Dongjun King's camp and married to the Lu family, so he had this difficulty.

"Father agreed..." Xia Zisu bit her lip, unable to believe it.

"Not yet, just..."

"No, it's not allowed to resign the engagement. If the marriage is rescinded, the daughter will become a nun and never marry again." Xia Zisu said absolutely, without any room for maneuver.In fact, she thought so too.

"Girls' family, marriage is decided by the parents, how can you think so..." Mrs. Xia naturally didn't want her daughter to resign, and it was a good marriage that came so hard.The future son-in-law has both title and ability, honest and honest without any bad habits.The in-laws are easy to get along with at first glance, who doesn't praise her daughter for being blessed, why has the situation changed all of a sudden now.

Seeing his daughter's appearance, master Xia lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.Mrs. Xia said, "I'm just a woman, and I don't know anything about court affairs. All I know is that Young Master Lu is the son of the Hou family. I don't think Su'er is too old, and I don't think she has a reputation as a Koff. Now turn around, we Withdrawing the engagement, dare to ask the master, is this reasonable?"

Not only did they want to force their daughter to withdraw from the engagement, but they also wanted him to give her to Zhou Minghua as his son and concubine. He was trying to delay, but unexpectedly, his daughter forced him to the door.

"Father, the emperor is not seriously ill." Xia Zisu mustered up her courage and told about Lu Huo'er's visit last night.

"We are outside the city and cannot enter the city." Master Xia repeated this sentence, which was consistent with what his daughter thought.The emperor must be locked out of the city, that's why King Xianjun sent his henchmen to close the city gate.

"Being a weak father, I can't do anything." Master Xia looked at his daughter and smiled bitterly.He knows what to do, if the current situation is not the same, he can still break it.

"No, Mr. Lu must have planned to do something when he came in from outside the city."

The father and daughter raised their heads together, "Duke Zhen."

That's right, he must have come to find Lord Zhen, but Xia Zisu didn't know if he found it or what he planned to do next.

Master Xia looked at his daughter and said, "If they find Lord Zhen Guo, they will definitely go to General Guo, but according to what my father has heard, he may have been in collusion with King Xianjun."

What to do, Xia Zisu stood up, she had no idea where Lu Huo'er lived and how to contact her.

No, if betrayed by General Guo, the consequences would be disastrous.We must find a way to stop him.Xia Zisu ran away with her skirt in her hands, Madam Xia was about to stop him, but Master Xia pulled her back from behind, "Let her go."

Asking the servant girl to come over with her own clothes and re-tie her hair, Xia Zisu ran out alone.He lingered at General Guo's gate for a while, but he never saw Lu Huo'er.

Some regretted that they should bring a few helpers. There was not only one door in General Guo's house.What if he went in through the back door to avoid people's eyes and ears.

Xia Zisu jumped anxiously, but Lu Huo'er and Chang Zaixian came to the door of the person they wanted.

"Should we go in directly, or pass a message and let him come to see us." Chang Zaixian thought about this question seriously.

"I'll go, you wait here, if there is any accident, you go to the next person." Lu Huo'er stuffed the list given to him by Duke Zhen Guo into Chang Zai Xian's arms, and said.

"What, how can I do that? Wait, what are those people doing?" Chang Zaixian stretched his neck, and saw not far away, three floors inside and three floors outside, surrounded by many people.

Chang Zaixian picked someone's shoulder casually and asked, "Brother, what happened inside."

"It's a lunatic." The man didn't care, and said very excitedly to Chang Zaixian.

"Wow, lunatic." Chang Zaixian broke through the crowd and got in. Lu Huo'er looked at his back helplessly and withdrew from the crowd.

"It's you……"

"What about him..."

"Hey...hey, where are people?"

"Call him quickly." Xia Zisu threw away the person at hand, grabbed Chang Zaixian, and said in a low voice, "General Guo has a problem, hurry up."

Seeing the two walk away together, the onlookers were dumbfounded. Did the two lunatics hit it off immediately, or did a lunatic find a substitute for the dead?

The person who was arrested by Xia Zisu for a long time can finally jump up and shout.Some curious people came up to him and asked him, "What's going on, I've been talking about it for a long time."

"That crazy woman, she insisted that I abducted her husband. I don't know her at all, and how could I know her husband. I said that she recognized the wrong person, and she talked about that she was the queen mother who came down to earth, and she was a demon. It's demon removal again. If you don't think she's a lunatic, it's so pitiful, I'd have dragged her to the court long ago."

Everyone saw that he was small and small, no wonder he was held by a woman and couldn't be torn apart for a long time.After asking a few more questions, they broke up.

"Too bad, Huo'er must have gone in, what to do." Chang Zaixian couldn't see Lu Huo'er, thinking of what he said just now, he must have gone to find General Guo alone.

"We'll follow in too." Xia Zisu followed Chang Zaixian and rushed into the inner gate.

"What are you doing?" The concierge quit. If a crazy woman broke in, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of their general's mansion.

"We are with Mr. Lu who just went in." Chang Zaixian stuffed a silver ingot in it, and seemed anxious.

"Then please wait a moment, the younger one, go in and ask." The concierge accepted the tip, and his face looked much better in an instant.

As soon as the young man signed up, the general immediately invited him in.At this moment, I don't know where I went, but since the money was collected, the concierge trotted after him.

Taking advantage of the time they were talking inside, Chang Zaixian dragged Xia Zisu against the corner and slipped in.Fortunately, there is a screen wall in the gate, which blocks the eyes of the people behind and lets them sneak in.

In the middle of the walk, he stopped people and pretended to go into the mansion with Mr. Lu to visit General Guo, but fell behind and lost his way.Waiting for someone to point the way, the two ran all the way, and finally saw Lu Huo'er's back.

"Huo'er, Huo'er, wait, wait for us." Chang Zaixian shouted from behind.

Hearing the voice, Lu Huo'er turned her head in surprise. Wasn't the disheveled and messy haired Xia Zisu whom she had just met last night?It's just how the always dignified and prudent Ms. Xia became like this, and she still lives in the house with Chang Zaixian.

When the two arrived, General Guo also came out from the room, looked at the two and laughed and said, "My servant said that Prince Lu is here, why didn't he say that there is still Prince Chang, please come inside."

Xia Zisu desperately lowered her head and followed behind the two.There was never any reason to take a maid out, General Guo looked at Xia Zisu with some hesitation.

"This is sister She, who slipped out to play, the general is not to blame." Chang Zaixian laughed, but fortunately his reputation was widely spread in Beijing, and General Guo knew something about it.So he smiled indifferently and said, "Women don't give in to men, Miss Chang, please sit down."

The three of them sat down, and Lu Huo'er was about to speak, and asked his servants to avoid him, because he had something important to discuss.Chang Zaixian interjected, "I heard that Duke Zhen didn't come back after leaving the mansion. We have been entrusted by Mrs. Zhen Guo to ask if General Guo has seen you."

"Oh, the old lady is also very worried about this matter, but unfortunately there is no news. It's just that Mrs. Zhen Guogong, the younger one went to visit yesterday, how could..."

"Ah, since that's the case, let's take our leave." Chang Zaixian stood up, pulled Lu Huo'er, and clasped his fists.

After watching the three leave, another person came out from the room and asked, "General Guo is not going to keep them."

"You think I don't want to. You don't know the details of the Lu family? The old man has already sent people to follow them, so naturally he won't let them have a chance to sabotage." General Guo put his hands behind his back, looking confident, leaving behind a Show your back to the people behind you.

"What's wrong with General Guo?" Lu Huo'er didn't talk nonsense, no matter how outrageous Chang Zaixian was, he wouldn't make fun of serious matters, not to mention there was a strangely dressed Xia Zisu by his side.

"Yes, my father said that he has plans to marry Xian County King." Xia Zisu's father only found out when the other party asked him to marry his daughter to the prince as a side concubine.
