“Indeed, I have sisters, but they have already ascended to immortality. Originally, I could have left with them, but I couldn’t bear to leave you alone in the mortal world, so I wished to stay with you for the rest of my life.”
Upon hearing this, the people around him showed expressions of disappointment; they really didn't want to be related to Guo Jia.
However, since this path is blocked, some people secretly began to think that perhaps they could become in-laws in the future.
On the women's side, they could vaguely hear the conversation of a group of men. Tang Yu almost burst out laughing because Guo Jia was making things up again.
The Han Dynasty was originally steeped in theology. After Liu Xiu came to power, in order to promote the legitimacy of his rule, he directly incorporated apocryphal texts into the classical studies system.
If you want to be an official in the imperial court, you'd be embarrassed to stay in the court if you didn't understand apocryphal texts and didn't engage in some prophecy or superstition.
Therefore, starting with Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, officials would pretend to be gods or sages to predict good or bad fortune and resolve important matters of the court.
Apocryphal texts were highly sought after by scholars from all walks of life.
After all, the emperor was the one who started it.
Therefore, at this point, it is perfectly fine for you to call yourself a Taoist practitioner.
If you can also perform some special talents that make people think it's divine magic, then you'll be a guest of honor for everyone.
Tang Yu's fabricated identity, built up over the past few years through his travels, has convinced everyone of its authenticity.
After all, Tang Yu doesn't take action when faced with danger.
She could just throw her sword out and let it fly around; who wouldn't believe she was a cultivator then?
"There isn't a single young maid in Madam Guo's house. Did Military Advisor Guo do something reckless that offended Madam Guo, causing her to dismiss all those young and pretty maids?"
Suddenly, one of the women asked in a teasy tone, and the entire space fell silent.
Tang Yu chuckled softly, then addressed the other women present.
"Today, in addition to fine wine and delicious food, I have also prepared a beautiful sight for you to see. However, my gift is a bit special."
For sincere guests, after seeing the beautiful scenery, their skin will become radiant and their hair will grow thick and dark in the days to come.
If they are unwilling and harbor ill will towards the host, perhaps in a while everyone will see what their ugly faces look like: mouth ulcers, hair loss..."
After these words were spoken, some people chuckled softly, while a few others looked rather grim.
Tang Yu ignored it and instead raised her hand, sending the sword flying. Then, many flower petals began to fall.
Everyone was surprised for a moment. Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Tang Yu smiled and asked people to continue serving the dishes.
After everyone had left one by one, it was already getting late. Tang Yu looked at the plum blossoms in the courtyard and suddenly felt like making plum blossom tea.
Guo Jia reached out and hugged the person standing under the plum tree from behind.
“Ayu really stole the show today, and even the flower petals fell on the male guest’s side.”
"Sometimes, mysterious forces and enigmatic identities can solve most of the world's problems. Don't you want me to be like that?"
When outsiders perceive you as strong enough and not to be trifled with, naturally no one will be foolish enough to provoke you on a daily basis.
"I will definitely follow my lord to fight in various places in the future, and I will spend less and less time at home. More and more people will gather in Xuchang in the future."
If Ayu doesn't act tough, what if someone comes looking for trouble when I'm not around?
So it's better to make them fear you.
These words made Tang Yu chuckle; she was never afraid of trouble.
"Are you going out to war so soon? Do you know Cao Cao's next plan?"
Guo Jia picked a plum blossom, then took Tang Yu's hand and walked back.
"They will probably launch a campaign against Zhang Xiu, since Wancheng poses a threat to Xudu. However, I may not be among those who go on the expedition. The situation changes too quickly, and there may be unexpected developments."
Guo Jia's words instantly made Tang Yu stop in her tracks, because she thought of someone.
Jia Xu is currently with Zhang Xiu.
This guy is really good at changing jobs.
Every employer was satisfied with him, he received no negative reviews, and eventually rose to the position of a high-ranking official, thus achieving a peaceful end.
"Fengxiao, after the New Year, I should go out to do something. I don't know if the outcome will be good or bad, but I have to try. Maybe there will be a better result."
In short, Cao Pi's abilities were neither particularly good nor bad, but the fact that his son died too young was fatal.
Of course, the Cao family's imperial clan was indeed not very powerful in the later stages, so the aristocratic families could only gradually grow stronger.
In fact, it was also a group of aristocratic families who chose the Sima family because they also wanted their family to control resources, control the channels for obtaining official positions, and prosper for a long time.
But things in this world are never as simple as you think they will be.
Cao Ang, who sacrificed himself to save his father, probably wasn't too bad either.
Although we don't know how long this guy will live, or if there will be any more accidents in the future, we can try to save him this once.
Who knows what the future holds?
"Will there be any danger? Ayu, you are free. I just hope that you prioritize safety in everything you do."
Everything in this world has its own destiny; there's no need to shoulder all the responsibility.
Tang Yu smiled and took the plum blossom from Guo Jia's hand.
“Fengxiao, the general trend of the world is that after a long period of unity, there will be division, and after a long period of division, there will be unity. There is no dynasty that lasts forever.”
Even if a strong person emerges now to unify the world, conflicts will still erupt in a hundred or two hundred years, and the world will still be divided and in turmoil again. I have always understood this.
So what I'm going to do is just a small experiment, it's very simple. During this time, I'll probably go into the mountains to collect herbs and get to know some doctors.
"If only we could find Hua Tuo. I've heard there's a plague in some places; I think solving that would be even more meaningful."
During the Jian'an period, many plagues broke out, and Tang Yu was more willing to find more doctors in the world to help stop the spread of the plagues.
"That's good."
After finishing their conversation, Tang Yu raised the plum blossom in her hand.
“Fengxiao, come today to learn how to apply plum blossom makeup to me. If I go out for a walk tomorrow, I might be able to make plum blossom makeup popular throughout Xudu.”
These words immediately piqued Guo Jia's interest.
"How do you draw?"
Tang Yu smiled and pulled the person inside.
"I'll draw it on your forehead first, and then you'll naturally be able to do it yourself."
After Tang Yu finished drawing in front of the bronze mirror, Guo Jia himself burst out laughing.
He gently pulled Tang Yu to sit in front of the mirror, then took out the tip of his pen and lightly traced lines on Tang Yu's forehead. He didn't rush to write anything, but this seemingly insignificant touch caused Tang Yu's eyelashes to tremble slightly.
At this moment, Guo Jia's nose almost touched Tang Yu's forehead, his warm breath gently brushing over her, his eyes and brows carrying a teasing smile.
"This plum blossom makeup must be carefully applied to match your beauty."
As he spoke, he placed a gentle kiss on Tang Yu's forehead, the soft touch causing Tang Yu's heart to tremble slightly.
After that, Guo Jia began to carefully draw on his forehead.
His movements were extremely slow. After drawing each petal, he would pause and place a light, fleeting kiss on Tang Yu's cheek, from her cheek to the corner of her mouth.
Tang Yu tilted her head back slightly, and Guo Jia took the opportunity to give her a light kiss on her slender neck, a touch of teasing that made Tang Yu let out a soft moan.
"I asked you to do my makeup, can't you be serious for once?"
Guo Jia smiled and put down his pen. Then he wrapped his arms around Tang Yu's waist from behind, buried his head in her neck, and chuckled softly.
"I thought Ayu made me put on makeup just so she could experience some bedroom pleasures?"
Chapter 14 Guo Jia 14
In the first month of the second year of Jian'an, in order to eliminate the threat to Xuchang, Cao Cao led a large army to attack Wancheng.
At this time, Zhang Xiu was stationed in Wancheng. Perhaps feeling that he could not win the battle, Zhang Xiu decided to surrender after being contacted by Jia Xu.
This would have been a bloodless victory, and Cao Cao was even excited enough to hold a banquet to celebrate.
However, things took an unexpected turn when Cao Cao took a liking to Zou, the widow of Zhang Xiu's cousin Zhang Ji. This greatly displeased Zhang Xiu, but it did not arouse his determination to rebel immediately.
The problem was that Cao Cao also noticed Zhang Xiu's dissatisfaction, and the original peace talks instantly turned into mutual suspicion.
Cao Cao spent a large sum of money to bribe Hu Che'er, a confidant of Zhang Xiu, plotting to kill Zhang Xiu, but the plot was unexpectedly leaked.
Zhang Xiu naturally couldn't sit idly by and wait for Cao Cao to kill him and annex his troops, so he decided to rebel.
Under Jia Xu's plan, Zhang Xiu took advantage of Cao Cao's unpreparedness and suddenly led his army to attack Cao Cao's camp.
Caught completely off guard, Cao Cao's army was thrown into chaos.
At this moment, Cao Cao was in a terrible state. He desperately tried to escape on his horse, but during the escape, he was shot in the right arm by an arrow and his horse was killed.
If Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, hadn't given his horse to Cao Cao, Cao Cao would surely have died in this war.
Tang Yu naturally wouldn't interfere in this war. Cao Cao, who was prone to getting cocky when things were going well but could turn the tide when things were going badly, actually learned from every failed battle.
So throughout the entire process, Tang Yu only noticed a strong wind blowing after Cao Ang let Cao Ang give way.
The soldiers on both sides were covered in dust, and sand got into their eyes, making it impossible for them to continue fighting.
In a dusty environment, who knows where to slash with a knife?
Therefore, Cao Ang and his group successfully escaped and completely shook off the attack.
"Father, your son has returned!"
When Cao Ang led his remaining soldiers to rejoin the main force of Cao Cao's army, Cao Cao was so surprised that he was speechless.
When he gave up that horse, he had already foreseen that his son would die on the battlefield.
I was still clinging to a sliver of hope, but to my surprise, my son actually came back.
“Ang’er, tell your father quickly, how did you escape? Why do you feel as if you’ve rolled around in mud all over your body?”
Cao Ang felt that today's events were very strange. He was clearly surrounded and he couldn't see a way out. He had even prepared himself to die on the battlefield.
Who could have predicted that a sudden gust of wind would strike, instantly filling the air with dust and sand, obscuring the view.
The soldiers who had been tightly surrounding them were now unable to continue their attack amidst the swirling sandstorm.
