Gao Jin rested for a while in the hospital. His body has gradually recovered a lot. He increasingly felt the need to cultivate his inner strength. However, since he entered Xiapi, he has been entangled with many chores. I am afraid that his cultivation will have to be slow.
Say it again.
He checked a few incisions. These were all skin wounds, nothing serious. Just thinking about drinking at night made his scalp numb. Alcohol can speed up the circulation of blood and does not do much good for the wounds. He hesitated for a moment.
I still plan to go, this is a rare opportunity to get to know the generals of Lu Bu's army, how can I miss it.
He sat cross-legged and meditated for a while, and felt much better. At this time, Gao Shun had arrived. Seeing Gao Jin's high energy, he hit Gao Jin's heart with another fist, neither light nor heavy: "See you."
It really reminds me of my own youth, when I was injured while practicing shooting, and I could move freely when I woke up. But as I get older, my body can no longer bear it."
Gao Jin smiled and said, "It's as if Brother Gao has reached the age of forty."
Gao Shun laughed and said: "If you don't talk about this, are you ready? How about going to the Hou Mansion now?"
Gao Jin nodded and said: "I only bring food to eat, nothing else."
Gao Shun laughed again: "That's very good."
The two of them left the hospital together. Before leaving, Gao Jin said to Yang Sen: "Can you please go to my house and tell Zhang Zhang that you don't need to keep my food tonight."
Outside the headquarters were several heavily armored soldiers holding horses. Gao Jin suddenly remembered borrowing people from Gao Shun and said, "Brother Gao said he would send some sergeants to the headquarters for use, so don't break your promise."
Gao Shun was no longer bold now, and said with a grimace: "Just ask them to come over tomorrow."
The two of them mounted their horses together, without saying any more words, and turned around a few streets, finally stopping in front of the gate of Hou Cheng's mansion. This house of Hou Cheng was really unimaginable to Gao Jin. I'm afraid the prefect's mansion was no less generous. There was already a stop outside the door.
Many carriages were picked up, and several sergeants came over to salute. After the two dismounted, they handed their mounts to the sergeants and sent them to the manger in the backyard through the side door.
Gao Shun pointed at the house and said: "Apart from my lord, Hou Cheng's house in Xiapi City is the most exquisite." After speaking, he sighed: "In life, you just want a safe place to live, and you can have thousands of buildings."
So what if there’s time?”
Gao Jin nodded with deep emotion, and couldn't help but think of the famous words of later generations, and murmured: "Oh, when did I suddenly see this house in front of my eyes, it would be enough for my house to be broken down and freeze to death."
Gao Shun smiled and said, "Bo Luan is very elegant." He said no more, pulled Gao Jin's sleeves and said, "Let's go in and see this magnificent mansion with its carved beams and colorful edifices."
At this time, many guests had arrived, and many of them knew Gao Jin. From a distance, Gao Jin saw Zhang Liao pursing his lips and listening to a few soldiers chatting in a corridor. Zhang Liao's eyes fell on Gao Jin, but he did not come to say hello.
He just nodded towards Gao Jin and forced a smile.
Gao Jin nodded in return. He couldn't help but secretly wonder, and asked Gao Shun, "Is that Zhang Liao?"
Gao Shun followed Gao Jin's gaze and looked over: "It is Zhang Wenyuan. I know what you want to ask. This man is withdrawn and rarely speaks in front of the lord. Once you get to know him well, you will know his nature."
Gao Jin ignored it and began to look around. The Hou Mansion was indeed surprisingly spacious, covering an area of more than two hundred acres, with winding courtyards, corridors, towers and pavilions. After walking for a while, he arrived at a garden gate made of Taihu stones.
, this is a place for entertaining guests, but the garden is full of flowers and trees, clustered in clusters, scattered high and low, which makes people dizzying.
In addition to imagining Hou Cheng's extravagance, Gao Jin also had some admiration for this man. He couldn't help saying: "General Hou is indeed a generous person. The fact that this building can be so detailed shows that he is not an ordinary martial artist."
.”
Gao Shun curled his lips: "This house was not his originally. It was Tao Qian's private house. Later, my lord captured Xiapi City. My lord thought this place was not majestic enough, so he rewarded it to General Hou."
Gao Jin couldn't help but suddenly realized, and then snickered secretly. He almost forgot that most of the princes and generals of these Three Kingdoms only demolished and did not build. Hou Cheng's greatest achievement was probably that he did not tear down these attic pavilions and use them as firewood.
Gao Shun seemed to have remembered something, so he pulled Gao Jin and said, "I almost forgot. Hou Cheng has some kind of luck. He invited Fang Ludie, the best dancer in Xiapi City, to come and entertain him. A certain person is old and can't bear it."
Well, this heroic young man like you has a lot to do."
Gao Jin said: "Is it difficult to hire this dancer?"
Gao Shun stared and said, "I don't know how many people are flocking to her. The last time Wei Xu had a big banquet, he invited her by name, but she only sent a few ordinary dancers over, which made Wei Xu lose face."
Gao Jin said: "She is not afraid of General Wei Xu's revenge?"
Gao Jin knew that this Wei Xu was not an ordinary person. He was Lu Bu's brother-in-law and had a good reputation in the army. It was really unusual for such a person to be unable to hire a dancer.
Gao Shun said mysteriously: "It is said that this girl is involved with the mistress. The mistress has always been loved by the lord, how can Wei Xu dare to offend her?"
Gao Jin scratched his head and told Gao Shun about the mistress, the mistress and the big headache. The relationship between the ancients is really difficult to distinguish. Wei Xu is the younger brother of the eldest mistress and can be regarded as Lu Wanjun's uncle, and with that
The one who has a close relationship with the dancing girl is naturally Lu Bu's concubine Diao Chan. Thinking of Diao Chan, Gao Jin hopes to meet her. It's not that he harbors any lustful intentions, but this woman is really famous.
Good man, when you go to the Three Kingdoms, wouldn't it be a great pity if you don't go and see the beautiful and beautiful faces of this country?
Gao Jin suddenly remembered something and said, "Brother Gao, why do you seem to be so familiar with everything in Xiapi City?"
Gao Shun smiled and changed the subject: "Did you smell the aroma of wine? I don't know how many people have been aroused by this aroma. It's a pity that I don't drink, otherwise I would definitely get drunk with you."
Seeing that Gao Shun didn't answer, Gao Jin stopped asking questions. He still saw many mysteries in Gao Shun, but he had an upright personality and made people feel like old friends at first sight, so he could be regarded as a good friend.
Entering an attic, the aroma of wine became more and more intense. Long letter lamps were lit on the four walls, illuminating the hall brightly. Lu Bu's army had already found their desks and sat on their knees on both sides, their eyes coming from time to time.
He moved towards the wine jar brought by the servants, and brought fresh fruits and dried meats. Gao Shun took Gao Jin and sat down at the same table in a secluded corner, and he kept pointing at the generals to Gao Jin.
Introduction: "That is Hou Cheng, the guy next to me is Wei Xu, the guy leaning against the pillar is Zang Ba..."
When Gao Shun pointed at Zang Ba, Zang Ba happened to glance in this direction, tilting his head towards Gao Shun, and then his eyes fell on Gao Jin. There was a sharp look in his eyes, as if there was a murderous intention floating through him. Gao Jin was momentarily stunned.
He didn't pay attention, he just kept memorizing the people Gao Shun was referring to.
At this time, the Confucian scholar who had met Gao Jin the last time swaggered in with big sleeves, looked around for a moment, coughed and cleared his throat: "Gentlemen, be quiet, the lord is here!"
