Guo Jie, a gang man, whose courtesy name is Weng Bo, was a good grandson. Jie's father was appointed as a hero and was killed when he was filial. Jie was short and conscientious and did not drink alcohol. When he was young, he was unhappy and killed many people. He used his body to take revenge, hiding his life and committing traitors to attack, and minting money to dig tombs, which are countless. He was lucky and often escaped. If he was forgiven, he would be forgiven. When Jie was older, he would be frugal, repaying his grievances with kindness, giving generously, and looking down on his own. However, he was more happy to be a chivalrous."

——"Records of the Grand Historian-Biography of the Rangers"

Chivalrous originated from the Spring and Autumn Period when rituals and music were broken, and human nature was extremely radiant and burst out. In the turbulent years of resistance to the tyrannical Qin and the struggle between Chu and Han, there were shadows of Pingzhixia everywhere. Many of Liu Bang's subordinates were once a ranger. Coupled with the relaxed and free Huang-Lao politics in the early Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty became the second golden age for a ranger. However, the contradiction between the freedom pursued by chivalrous and the order advocated by the court became increasingly sharp, and chivalrous finally no longer recognized by the court.

Emperor Jing of Han, the fourth emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, was determined to reform and was determined to rectify the bad policies. The focus of his attack was two: one was a pride who was arrogant and did not obey the rules; the other was a powerful and powerful raid who controlled the local area by the way of the rivers and lakes. Emperor Jing of Han sent a stern official named "Gangying" to rectify the case of the Lu family in Jinan, which kicked off the imperial court's large number of killing heroes nationwide and attacking the rivers and lakes. By Emperor Wu of Han, he inherited the style of his father Emperor Jing and became more and more powerful, and used cruel officials such as Ning Cheng and Zhou Yangyou. Every time he went, he would make the heroes blood flow into a river.

The golden age of Rangers is over, and Guo Jie is doomed.

"It turns out that he is the famous Guo Daxia. The little girl is polite." Chen Jiao looked at the man in front of her who was later listed in the "Biography of the Rangers" by Sima Qian and was famous in history, with pity in his eyes.

"I dare not." Guo Jie said, "I offended many people tonight. I don't know what the names of the two girls are? Although Jie is a civilian, if there is an urgent matter, I can do my best to repay the kindness of today."

"Sir, I am too humble. Guandong Guo Jie has a reputation for chivalrousness all over the world. I can only say one word to you. No one in Guandong boy will refuse to follow." Liu Huichen is not the kind of ignorant lady who is raised in the boudoir. He has heard of Guo Jie's name for a long time and now he is admiring him.

"It's just a little fictional reputation." Guo Jie laughed. The humility in this smile made his poor facial features suddenly have a strange charm. His character is indeed as recorded in historical books, humble and gentle.

"Sir, is this tonight?" Liu Huichen knew that Guo Jie had always been loved in Guandong. Even if the people in the government did not have such high prestige among neighbors, they just fell to the point of being chased by officials today.

"Guo was ordered by the emperor to move into Guanzhong. He had a little dispute with Master Ji of the Yang family a few days ago and accidentally killed him. Now the murder case is here." Guo Jie said with a bitter smile.

Chen Jiao looked at him coldly, knowing that he had nothing to say. Yang Jizhu's family sued Emperor Wu to declare his grievances, and was intercepted and killed outside the palace gate by Guo Jie's admirers. This naked offensive act of the imperial authority was the reason why Emperor Wu of Han finally decided to arrest Guo Jie.

"Well, sir, where are you planning to go?" Liu Huichen was born in the royal palace since he was a child and cared too much about human life. Or, for people in the Western Han Dynasty, the behavior of killing people with disagreement was too ordinary.

"My mother has been settled, and Jie Zheng plans to travel around Beijing to avoid disasters." Guo Jie does not shy away from his plans.

"Do you plan to wait until the court issues an amnesty order?" Liu Huichen asked afterwards.

"Huichen, Guo Daxia is extremely wise, how could he not leave a way out for himself? Killing Master Yang Ji must be before pardon." Chen Jiao interrupted Liu Huichen's question and looked at Guo's explanation, "What the little woman said is correct?"

"This girl, you have something to say." Guo Jie had discovered that among these two women, the younger one, like many young people in the world, was full of admiration for himself, while the other one was terrifyingly calm, looking at him with an observant look from beginning to end.

"Maoling was first established, and the heroes of the world were merged with families. All the people who were in chaos could be moved to Maoling. They were in the capital and exported were so cunning. This is what is said to be harmed if they were not punished." Chen Jiao thought, staring at Guo Jie without relaxing for a moment, "The key here is not in the capital but in the capital, but in the exported were so cunning. Does Guo Daxia really not understand?"

"..." Guo Jie was silent for a while. Yes, because his father was killed by Emperor Xiaojing, the price of his actions was not clearer among the contemporary knights than him. How could he not see the information implicit in the wanted order issued by the court to him?

"Talk a little bit, I'm sorry for the little girl." Chen Jiao saw his deep thoughts and continued, "This is not a crime of war. It seems that the court's determination to rectify the ranger has been decided, and your fate as the number one hero in the world has long been destined. 'Since ancient times, those who say brave heroes have all recommended You and Bing' Guo Daxia have passed by, but are they planning to go to Taiyuan and hide in this young man?"

As soon as Chen Jiao finished speaking, she saw Guo Jie's face change, as if she didn't expect anyone to see through his plan easily. Chen Jiao did not give him a chance to speak, and continued: "Mr. He is famous all over the world, so the journey will naturally be smooth. But the heroes in the world are the first. Those who help the Mr. leave will never betray him again, so these people will pay the price of their lives to protect the Mr. "

What Chen Jiao said is not exaggerated. In history, Guo Jie fled from Guanzhong to Taiyuan, and he had no obstacles along the way, and he never concealed his identity. Every time he went to a place, he was greeted with someone. Later, when the official officer who chased him, he got only cold corpses, and many of them had no relationship with Guo Jie. From this we can see that at that time, the great reputation of the Kanto hero Guo Jie enjoyed, people would rather die than protect him.

"Sir, the more people you protect you, the less you can't let you go, because it means that the more people you can influence, because these young knights who are skilled in martial arts should have been pillars of the army to serve the country, but they embraced you and embarked on the road to opposing the court because they admired you." Chen Jiao stopped after saying this, looking at Guo Jie who was in a cold sweat, and finally said, "The little woman respects Mr. and calls you a great hero Guo. I just want to ask, is it the teacher's wish to save his life with such a mountain corpse?"

"According to legend..." Guo Jie finally spoke, his voice a little astringent, "Yao knew that Zi Danzhu was not worthy of being the world, so he gave power to Shun. He said something at the end of his life, but he would never benefit from the world's illness." After saying that, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Sir," Liu Huichen saw Guo Jie with a gray face and guessed what he was thinking at the moment.

When Chen Jiao heard Guo Jie's words, she knew that he had completely figured it out in his heart and made a choice for the future. She thought for a while and finally said, "Han Feizi said: Confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law, and heroes use martial arts to violate the ban. What the court fears is that the harm of the raiders breeds the world, or contacts the princes, and ultimately endangers the country. There are rebellions of the princes in the Han Dynasty, and the Huns are eyeing it outside. It is the time when we are working hard. The young woman heard that General Wei Qing was ordered to mobilize a large army and is about to go out of seclusion to fight this spring. This is when the prestige of the country is revitalized, and it is also when the young heroes of the gentleman make achievements. There are many disciples of the gentleman, if..." This is to find a way out for the many followers of the Guo Jie clan and the disciples.

Guo Jie looked at Chen Jiao with a complicated expression, with doubts in his eyes, gratitude and a little indescribable hatred and annoyance, which made Chen Jiao speechless. Seeing that Chen Jiao paused, Guo Jie knew that it was his eyes that put pressure on Chen Jiao, so he closed his eyes, raised his head and sighed.

Should I just escape, one or two more days of life, or go back to Chang'an to face it? Guo Jie was a little confused. If I hadn't met this girl, I might have been able to deceive myself for more days. Guo Jie, Guo Jie, everything has been arranged long ago. Are you afraid of death?

Looking at Guo Jie's frowning, Chen Jiao suddenly became nervous. As she said just now, she still had a deep conversation with Guo Jie. If Guo Jie was not as noble as she thought, she decided to live in hiding his identity from now on. Then, today she and Liu Huichen are probably in their lives.

After a while, Guo Jie finally opened his eyes, and his eyes were clear. He looked at Chen Jiao and asked, "Can you tell me your name?"

"Pengcheng Coal Travel, Chen Jiao." Chen Jiao's heart was lowered in her throat, but her mood became heavier little by little.

"Miss Chen, please wake up more. Guo Jie knows what to do in the future." Guo Jie's expression was very serious. "Xie has two personal disciples, who are pure and kind in nature and have good martial arts. Things are difficult in the world. I hope the girl will give them more guidance in the future."

"The greatest hero is to serve the country and the people. If Guo Daxia has something to do, the little woman will do her best." Chen Jiao bowed to Guo Jie, and Guo Jie could bear this tribute. After all, he was about to pay the price of his life to save the lives of many people.

"Goodbye!" Guo Jie bowed his hands and left the window.

"He really deserves the best knight in the world." Chen Jiao looked at Guo Jie's back and sighed.

"Aunt, why do you have to do this..." Liu Huichen naturally knew that Guo Jie must have wanted to see Wuqi when he went there, but she didn't understand why Chen Jiao had to explain this to Guo, which cut off his interest.

"Huichen, I did this for the sake of the name of Quan Guo Jie, but also for you and me." Chen Jiao said lightly, "You and I are women after all, and Pengcheng Coal Store was under the surveillance of the imperial court and could not move. I need a foreign aid to help me do something."

She turned to the table and sat down, looking at Liu Huichen standing on the side, continued, "Huichen, a ranger, values ​​confidence and neglects life and death. For me, it is the best candidate and the best candidate for sending messages."

****

Maoling County-Chen Mansion

The brand new paint on the plaque of this mansion and the faint fragrance of ink emitted from the mansion are again displayed. It has just undergone a change of ownership.

"Miss, the household registration matter has been completed, don't worry." Chen Jiao sat upright in the chair in the lobby, listening to Manager Zhang from Maolingyi Branch report to her.

"Well. You go back first." Chen Jiao nodded and said warmly. She personally assigned the managers of the branch offices in various places. This manager Zhang was also the one who performed well in the Coal Company in Pengcheng, and she personally assigned him here.

After Manager Zhang left, Chen Jiao was about to discuss the room allocation with Liu Huichen, but suddenly she felt a slight sound of footsteps outside. She turned her head in surprise and was surprised to find that the person coming was her personal maid, Anu.

"Anu!"

"Miss." Anu cried with joy when he saw Chen Jiao, and rushed forward, "Miss, you're fine, it's so good."

"Why are you here?" Chen Jiao said in surprise, but she guessed something in her heart.

"It was the young master who sent me here. He said that he could wait for the young master here." Annu said while wiping his tears.

"Brother-in-law..." Chen Jiao pondered.

This brother-in-law attracted Liu Huichen's attention. She naturally understood the family composition of this aunt. There was no second lady in the Tangyi Hou family, even if she was born in a vain family.

Chen Jiao looked up at Liu Huichen. Knowing that her relationship with Li Xi was not suitable for the second person to know, she said, "Huichen, you are tired from the journey and you are tired, so go and rest first. You can choose the room in the mansion."

Liu Huichen is the most knowledgeable and tactful. Although he knew that Chen Jiao was sending him away, he did not point it out, but just stepped down obediently.

As soon as Liu Huichen left, Chen Jiao couldn't wait to hold Anu's hand and asked, "What the hell is going on? Are sister and brother-in-law good? Is there nothing wrong at home?"

"Miss, don't worry, everything is fine at home." Anu choked and said intermittently, "Miss will not return that day. The lady and the young master were very worried, so they sent someone to look for it. The next day, the lady gathered everyone and said we were moving. Anu followed the lady and the others into the car and came all the way here..."

Chen Jiao was happy, interrupted Anu and asked, "You mean, my sister and brother-in-law are also in this mansion."

"No, no." Annu shook his head and denied Chen Jiao's words, which made her heart feel like a bowl of cold water was poured on. Annu was young after all, and did not notice Chen Jiao's expression. He just continued, "Anu has walked a long way with his wife and the others. One day, the young master called Annu alone and asked Zhuang Xin to send me away. He said he was sending me to see the lady."

"Where is Zhuang Xin?" Chen Jiao asked afterwards.

"Brother Zhuang left after seeing Anu come. Before leaving, he said that the lady will come in two days. As expected, the lady will come today." Anu smiled happily.

Chen Jiao was not as simple as her, and she felt heavy in her heart. Through Anu's narration, it can be seen that Li Xi and others quickly got their news and quickly escaped. He even "predicted" that he would come to Maoling and sent Anu in advance.

Brother-in-law, what do you want to do? What do you want from me and Queen Chen? Chen Jiao closed her eyes, and Li Xi's shiny eyes appeared clearly in her mind, feeling that she was becoming more and more unable to guess.

***

"In his lifetime, Jie Zi killed many people. When the emperor heard of it, the lower officials arrested Jie Jie, and all the killings were before the pardon. A Confucian scholar served as an envoy, and the guest praised Guo Jie, and Sheng said, "What is a wise man for violating public law?" Jie Ke heard that he killed this life and cut off his tongue. The official used this blame, Jie actually did not know how to kill, and the killings were also completely eliminated, and no one knew who was the one who was responsible for it. The official reported that Jie was guilty, and Gongsun Hong discussed, "Jie, a common man, exercised power for the hero, and killed people with the grudge. Although Jie did not know, this crime was more serious than killing him. It should be a great rebellion and unrighteous." Guo Jie's lunarity, with the meticulousness of a man, stealing the power of killing, and his crime was no longer to be punished. Judging from his gentleness, kindness, impotence, and humility, and humility, and retreat and not attacking, they all had the same attitude. It is a pity that he did not enter morality, and if he indulged in the last stage, he would kill the clan, which was not unfortunate."

——"Zizhi Tongjian-Volume 18"

"Have you heard that? The Kanto hero was killed!"

"I knew it if I had known it. I heard that General Wei was still in charge of the execution. But it was a pity for the hero."

Chen Jiao's hands trembled slightly when she picked up the pearl flowers. She knew that Guo Jie had not escaped this disaster after all, and she felt a little sad.

"Aunt..." Liu Huichen attached to her ears, and was about to say something, but Chen Jiao waved her hand and stopped her. Liu Huichen immediately realized that it was not suitable to talk about Guo Jie at this moment.

"Miss, this pearl flower is so beautiful for you to wear." Annu raised her head from the pearl flower and said excitedly.

Chen Jiao smiled at her and said, "Does Anu like it? If you like it, you will buy it." Although she is nominally her maid, Chen Jiao naturally has a more love for Anu, who has a poor life experience.

When the shop owner heard Chen Jiao's words, he immediately quickly packed all kinds of beads, for fear that Chen Jiao would repent.

After hearing what Guo understood, Chen Jiao suddenly lost the mood to go shopping. Although she originally wanted to get a good idea of ​​Maolingyi, she said, "I'm a little tired today. Let's go back."

Among the three, she was the main one, so there was no objection. After returning home, Liu Huichen returned to his room, but Annu insisted on following the Chen family to accompany him. Chen Jiao had no choice but to allow her, so she had to allow her.

"Stop!" With this cold shout, a bright sword hung in front of Chen Jiao's neck. Anu, who was following her, was about to scream out loud, but Chen Jiao immediately held down her hands, implying that she was quiet.

Chen Jiao was shocked, but she was so calm on her face that she said, "I don't know where the hero came from? What do you want to do?" While saying that, she observed the person next to her from the corner of her eyes. She saw a man in gray clothes stumbling with a sword, while his shoulder was leaning against a pale girl, obviously injured.

"Where is the master here? Take us to see her!" said the young man.

Seeing this man coming here with a wounded patient, Chen Jiao suddenly had an inspiration in her mind, guessing the other party's identity, and said, "But two masters of Hero Guo Jie? I am the master of this mansion."

When the young man heard this, he looked surprised. He did not expect that the person he had master ordered him to surrender was so young.

"That's Junior Sister Ling, right? I think she is seriously injured. If she doesn't treat her, it's probably not good." Chen Jiao reminded.

The young man observed Chen Jiao again. After confirming that she could not pose any threat, he put down his sword and said, "I am Guo Sizhi, and I am ordered by my master to come to visit the girl. This is my junior sister, Ning Shizhi."

Chen Jiao nodded and asked, "My sister... do you need to order someone to hire a doctor?"

"No need." Guo Sizhi shook his head and rejected Chen Jiao's proposal, saying, "I have my own way to do this kind of minor injury. I only need the girl to arrange a room for my senior brother and sister, and to deliver three meals to me in the past two days."

"It's easy." Chen Jiao said, and she turned her head and said to the frightened Anu, "Anu, you are familiar with the arrangements in the mansion and take this young master to a remote wing room to rest."

Seeing that she was so happy, Guo Sizhi thought of the previous master's instructions, hesitated for a moment and said, "Although I have left the tracker, I'm just in case. Please hide it from the outside for the time being, the matter of my two entering the palace today."

Hearing that he said, Chen Jiao's eyes consciously aimed at the wound on Ning Shizhi's shoulder, and felt enlightened in his heart, nodding with a calm face.

Seeing Guo Ning and the others leaving, Chen Jiao thought with lingering fear that she had only moved here for more than ten days. In these days, Guo Jieying was in prison, and could find out about her news and tell her disciple that this energy was indeed quite large. No wonder Emperor Wu of Han could not tolerate him.

...

Chen Jiao looked at Ning Shizhi who had recovered almost in front of her, and sighed in her heart that the so-called hero did not care about the national laws and human lives. If Ning Shizhi had not pulled out the scholar's tongue, Emperor Wu of Han would have decided to kill Guo Jie so quickly. Ning Shizhi's arbitrary behavior ruined Liu Che's last favorable affection for Guo Jie who showed up and confessed his guilt, and also ruined Guo Jie's last glimmer of hope.

"Miss Chen, my adoptive father said something at the time of his death, so I asked my junior brother to come and join the girl. In the future, if the girl has a choice, Guo Sizhi will do everything." Guo Sizhi bowed to Chen Jiao, "A few days ago, because of his junior sister's injury, I was unable to formally pay homage to the girl, please forgive me."

After these days, Chen Jiao had already known that they went to the court to rob people and fled to her mansion nearby for asylum. Fortunately, they were escaping the people completely when they escaped. And the Chen mansion had never had any relationship with Guo Jie, and had escaped the search of the officers and soldiers in the past few days. I heard that those families who had been friends with Guo Jie have almost become the permanent garrisons of officers and soldiers in recent days.

"Hiss Guo doesn't have to be too polite." Chen Jiao sighed in her heart. No wonder Guo Jie was worried about his two disciples' temperament and wanted to entrust him to him. Faced with the country's huge violent machine, he was still trying to save Guo Jie. Isn't this intention to bring disaster to Guo? In this way, I am afraid that even if Emperor Wu of Han had the intention to let the Guo family go, he would be wiped out at this moment.

Chen Jiao stood up and said, "The city has not been peaceful recently. Let's recuperate here quietly. Let's discuss it when the storm passes."
Chapter completed!
