Chapter 178: The sky is high and the emperor is far away

After half a day of traveling, Guo Nuan's carriage entered Lingzhou Mansion. This is an earthen city where Hu people, Westerners, Han people, and Hui people are mixed together. The city walls are built with high rammed earth, and there are a large number of deep ditches dug outside the walls. The trenches, the horses, the wooden-pointed tree stumps, and the vast expanse of clear fields outside the city clearly indicate that this is a major military town.

There are many caravans from the Western Regions trading in the Lingzhou City area. Therefore, Guo Nuan and the others felt the strong atmosphere of Chinese and Western culture and customs as soon as they arrived in the city.

"We sell mutton skewers. We bake sesame paste cakes..."

Earthen houses are lined up side by side, leaving sidewalks in the middle. The city here is not big, and the permanent population is only tens of thousands. Most of them are soldiers stationed in nearby military camps or businessmen doing business.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. There is a cattle, sheep and horse market, a vegetable market, a wine shop, a small hotel, and a military supplies store. For example, iron tools and knives are all available. If a man needs that, it can easily be found in the alleys of the slums. Find cheap prostitutes in remote slum areas.

Guo Nuan took the letter of appointment from the capital and found the tallest official office next to Loess Square in the center of Lingzhou City. However, the town government office was only a three-story rammed earth and stone building. Guo Nuan met a town official who was in the seventh grade. Adjutant. He learned that Guo Nuan had come to take up a post in the capital. His eyes were full of weirdness and confusion. Guo Nuan knew that the eighth floor was the town. The adjutant thought that he was an unlucky guy who had been relegated from the metropolis. But Guo Nuan was indeed Come down.

"Well. Then send a general cavalry to lead you to the general barracks."

After the town adjutant stamped an official seal similar to a postmark on Guo Nuan's pass, he yawned impatiently. He looked at Guo Nuan and the other three. He then called over a young Hui cavalryman.

Father Guo's military camp is still more than ten miles away from Lingzhou City. It is located in a plain surrounded by mountains on three sides and close to the Yellow River. With the frequent deployment of troops in the past year or two, there are currently 80,000 soldiers in the Shuofang General Military Region. Multiple soldiers. The official name of the official military establishment is Shangzhechong Duwei Mansion. The Grand Governor of Shuofang is also the Jiedushi... Commander-in-Chief Guo Ziyi.

"Well. The general military camp is in front of us. I'm resigning."

The Hui cavalry led Guo Nuan's carriage to the military camp, which was surrounded by a row of pointed wooden walls. There were sentries and posts every ten steps. There were arrow towers everywhere. Looking from a distance, the Yellow River Plain was indeed... The stronghold is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has a waterfront on one side. Tens of thousands of war horses are grazing idle on the natural horse prairie. It is quite spectacular.

"That's right. This is it. It's so desolate. My cheap father-in-law is so cruel. He's demoted and is here."

Guo Nuan complained a little. He looked at the tents inside the wooden wall and the guards patrolling and sentrying seriously outside the big wooden camp gate.

Guo Nuan and Afu Dabiao were standing on a small slope a few miles away from the plain below and watching. Unexpectedly, a small group of about ten people in uniforms suddenly appeared in the lush green grass under the slope. Armor. Soldiers holding crossbows.

"Who is coming? Tell me your name."

There was a deafening and powerful shout. Ah Fu, who was standing on the steep slope, was so frightened that he almost lost his balance and rolled down to the grass.

"Brother, farewell. We are one of our own. Guo Nuan is the youngest son of your Generalissimo Guo Ziyi." Guo Nuan stopped trying to please him and said with a smile, which aroused a burst of suspicion from the scouts.

"How can the handsome son be so virtuous as you? At first glance, it looks like a hollow embroidered pillow. It's of no use."

An uncle who looked like the captain of a school captain looked at Guo Nuan and couldn't help laughing. The scouts saw that these three people did not seem to be hostile people, so they put away their warning weapons. After the captain waved his hand, the other team members quickly returned. They lay scattered in the lush grass and lurked.

"I am really Guo Ziyi's son. Look, this handsome boy looks a bit like your handsome man."

Guo Nuan chuckled. He took off the wine bottle from his waist and handed it to the captain of the school captain. Giving the wine sleeve was almost successful. Guo Nuan whispered to the captain.

"Is it."

The captain took a step back and took a closer look at Guo Nuan's face. Hey, this Guo Nuan really looks like his handsome man.

"No. Letter of appointment from the capital." Guo Nuan was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, so she took out the edict and showed it to him.

"Bing Cao joins the army." The captain looked at Guo Nuan with a somewhat sad look. His expression clearly said: Hmm. This scholar was demoted to the eighth level.

"Zhang Hu, Li Gang, follow me back to the military camp of the Governor's Mansion. The rest will continue to be on guard in place."

The captain's face turned pale. He clasped his fists and said in a military salute: "I am humble enough to pay homage to you, sir. Please follow me into the camp to meet the commander-in-chief."

Come on. Under the leadership of the three scouts, Guo Nuan and the others entered the military camp unimpeded.

"Report, Marshal, that your Sixth Young Master has arrived." A messenger rushed into the account to report.

On the table, Guo Ziyi, who was diligently watching Sun Tzu's Art of War, raised his piercing tiger eyes. His long beard suddenly stood up.

"Come on. Let that kid come in." He waved his hand.

"No." The messenger was about to retreat.

Guo Ziyi seemed to have remembered something. He put down the thread-bound book on the art of war and added: "Call the army joiner. Just say that his sixth brother is here."

"As you command, Commander."









"Dad, I miss you so much. Wow... I miss you so much... I am unfilial. Father... Dear father..."

Guo Nuan rehearsed his words for meeting countless times in his heart. But he really couldn't think of the right words.

He walked into the camp uneasily. His legs felt weak. The general sitting cross-legged on the blanket next to him had an amazingly strong physique. His back was broad and his waist was thick. His strong muscles could not be hidden under his robe.

A ray of light shot towards him. Those tiger eyes, sword eyebrows, and resolute facial features as sharp as a knife. Except for the white hair on his temples, Guo Nuan was amazed in his heart. This cheap old man is really powerful.

There were only two father and son in the quiet tent. Guo Nuan stood in the tent with Guo Ziyi, who was sitting cross-legged, more than ten feet away. The two quietly looked at each other.

"Uh, father... father, please give me my best wishes."

Guo Nuan felt a little guilty. After all, he was a fake. A fake who had traveled through time. Guo Ziyi, the powerful general in Kyushu, had been worshiped on the altar and incense burner countless times by the common people. He was about to become an epic legend of a god. An awesome character. Guo Nuan is really worried that this cheap dad will see that he is a fake with his general aura.

"Well, sit down." Guo Ziyi pointed to a bench next to her.

"Oh..." Guo Nuan was shocked by Guo's father's powerful aura. He obediently found a stool and sat down like a good boy. Sad. Unexpectedly, his father would be so unfamiliar and reserved when meeting his own son. .If Guo Nuan hadn't known that Dezhuang's virtuous mother Wang, it would have been impossible for Hongxing to cheat. It would have been absolutely impossible for Guo Nuan to steal a man and have a bastard behind Old Man Guo's back. Otherwise, he really suspected that his predecessor, Guo Nuan, who committed suicide, had some suspicions. The origin is unknown.

"What a wonderful mother you are." Guo Ziyi held up the roll of The Art of War and looked at it casually, then suddenly interjected.

"Okay. Very good. Eat well. Sleep well. Feel good." Guo Nuan quickly answered.

"Princess is so nice." Guo Ziyi smiled slightly and turned the page of the book before saying another sentence in silence.

"Okay. Okay. I don't know how much love there is. I never quarrel."

Guo Nuan was a little surprised at himself. He had a mean mouth and actually spoke to his father with a flattering tone. He looked like a bitch. He couldn't help but despise himself for a while.

"My granddaughter's name is Guo Xiang. Well..." Guo Ziyi touched his long beard meaningfully. A loving smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Guo Xiang is so good." He repeated.

Guo Nuan, who was sitting in the corner of a tent, was quite depressed. This father had just seen his own son not smiling, but he smiled when he mentioned his granddaughter. He was so biased.

"Okay. Okay. We need two wet nurses to serve us every day. Otherwise, the milk production of one wet nurse will not be enough for drinking. Quack."

Guo Nuan nodded his head up and down and said.

"Haha. Good. Very comforting." Guo Ziyi clapped her hands and laughed, stroking her beard even more vigorously.

"Report that Governor Guo has arrived."

A high-pitched call from a guard guard sounded outside the tent.

Immediately afterwards, the curtain outside the tent was lifted. A handsome man named Shi Shiran, nearly 1.9 meters tall, stepped in.

"You..." Guo Nuan stood up immediately when he was excited. He stepped forward and took the hand of the handsome man in front of him in an exaggerated way: "Second brother, Guo Yuan."

"Haha. What? There are no rules. The second brother is the second brother. He even pronounced his name." Guo Nuan laughed. He cheerfully went over and gave Guo Nuan's little brother a hug.

"Sixth brother, how many years have you and your second brother not seen each other? When the second brother rushed to Bianzhang to join the army, you were not even as tall as my shoulders." Guo Yuan looked particularly happy. The brothers have not seen each other for many years. It's emotion.

"A few years. Four or five years." Guo Nuan sighed in surprise.

"No, no. It's only been eleven years." Guo Nuan chuckled and said something coldly that left Guo Nuan completely speechless.

It’s grandma’s. It takes eleven years to reunite with a second brother. Wouldn’t it take a hundred years for a family of ten to have a chance to reunite? Guo Nuan smacked her tongue.

"I heard that you were demoted from Leizhou and moved back to Chang'an a few months ago. Not long after, you made trouble again. This time you were demoted to Shuofang."

After the brothers exchanged pleasantries, Guo Nuan and his second brother immediately sat down on the stools next to the tent. Guo Ziyi's face changed, her eyebrows raised, and she began to settle Guo Nuan's old accounts.

"Uh... It's just a very annoying Tubo woman who caused trouble. She had to be demoted and came to Shuofang."

Guo Nuan's cold sweat immediately started pouring down from his forehead and flowed down his cheeks. The majesty of this cheap dad's general was full of aura. Guo Nuan, who was new to the situation, was a little uncomfortable with it.

Guo Ziyi pondered for a moment. Guo Nuan originally thought that a violent storm was about to pour down. Unexpectedly, the old man changed the subject: "Yeah. But the Tubo princess is quite presumptuous. What you did is not a disgrace to our old Guo family."

"Oh, yes. The child is not embarrassed at all." Guo Nuan almost collapsed. The father's temper was unpredictable. He couldn't figure it out in a short time.

"The postman of the post station sent a report about the sixth brother's stay in the capital a few days ago. At that time, my father was very angry about the Tibetan people making a big fuss in the Jingzhao government office. It's a pity that he was at the Shuofang border. Otherwise, the second brother would really I wish I could kill the lawless Tubo people with my sixth brother that day."

The second brother quickly added a sentence. This sentence made Guo Ziyi feel at ease. Her eyes when looking at Guo Nuan also softened a lot.

In the past, Guo Nuan, as a descendant of the Guo family, was the most unpromising and soft-hearted scholar. Guo Ziyi really had a headache. Although he did not ask his six sons to become the best among people, it also made him angry. Guo Ziyi has lost count of the number of times he has committed suicide. Now the second brother sees that Guo Nuan is very good at what he does this time. How can the second brother not give his younger brother a good word in front of Father Guo so that he can change his impression?

"This time when the emperor takes office, you should join the army as a soldier." Guo Ziyi suddenly mentioned that Guo Nuan's appointment was up.

"Yes, father." Guo Nuan's face immediately became solemn. He stood up and said a respectful military salute.

"From now on, when you see me in the military camp or on the battlefield, you will change your name to Marshal or Governor. Do you understand?" Guo Ziyi suddenly said coldly.

"Yes, Commander." Guo Nuan subconsciously stood at attention in a military posture and reported loudly.

"Okay, go to Xiazhechong Military Camp and report. Starting from the new recruits, the position of Cao Shen will be removed." Guo Ziyi nodded with satisfaction and continued.

"Father, didn't the emperor appoint the sixth brother to have an official position? Why do you want to deprive the sixth brother of his official position again?" Guo Yuan immediately became anxious. He quickly stood up and said.

"Drink. Do you have any objections? Guo Ducan." Guo Ziyi now assumed the posture of a military commander and glared at his second son Guo Yuan fiercely.

"Second brother...I don't care. My father did this to train me and train me from the grassroots level." Guo Nuan pulled the second brother's sleeve and whispered.

"Sixth brother, but... how can you bear this pain..." The second brother stopped talking, his eyes turned red.
