The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

At this time, the ground was already covered with blood, Guo Nuan still held A Letong's knife tightly in his hand, his face turned pale due to excessive blood loss, but his eyes were still determined.

The crowd was furious at this moment, and they completely stood by Guo Nuan's side.They shouted almost in unison: "Go away, Huihe calf!"

Aletong's companion felt that the matter was getting worse, and he couldn't allow the gaffe to continue to expand, and was about to drag Aletong's sleeves to leave, but Aletong, who couldn't let go of his face, had red eyes and yelled violently. He pulled the knife out of Guo Nuan's tightly gripped palm, hung the blade high above his head, trembling, and dared not crazily strike at Guo Nuan's neck.

"Coward! Why don't you dare to stab it in, then I will give you a knife!"

"Ah!!!" The people present didn't react for a while, and they all marveled at Guo Nuan's courage. It took only a millisecond for the blade to slash, and the foreigner had no time to dodge.

"what--"

With a howl, an arm was sliced ​​off from the base of the shoulder, and a column of blood gushed out immediately.

Looking at Alton who was howling with his severed arm cut in front of him, although it was bloody, the guests present were undoubtedly very happy, this guy deserved it.

When the Huihe people howled in pain on the ground, clutching their bloody broken arms, it was extremely frightening.It just so happened that a large number of officials came from outside.

"Young master, are you okay?" A handsome young man appeared, wearing a tight-fitting black yamen uniform, and led a large number of yamen servants over the entrance of the corridor, surrounded the Huihe people tightly, and then surrounded them Take it down, tie it up, and take it away.

As for the diners in the venue, they were also invited out of the door by the servants and dismissed.

"It's okay." Guo Nuan shook his head, moved a bench beside him and sat down. At this time, he was fine, except that his face was slightly pale.

The young man picked up the dagger he had thrown just now, and wiped it gently with a silk cloth, as if he had cut off someone else's arm with that throw just now, such a bloody scene seemed innocuous.

"Ahem, please clean up that severed arm." Guo Nuan smelled the strong fishy smell in the air, looked at the bloody severed arm on the ground, and suddenly felt like vomiting.

The young man smiled faintly, and then waved to a yamen servant beside him. After a while, the yamen servant cleaned up the scene and casually handed the young man a white bandage and a small porcelain bottle of medicine.

At this time, only Guo Nuan and the young man were left in the empty lobby, and they were silent.

Feeling the piercing pain of the cut palm, Guo Nuan almost wrinkled his brows into a pimple, the young man smiled faintly, leaned down and carefully applied good medicine to Guo Nuan's wound, and then tied the bandage.

"I was not afraid of death just now, but now I am afraid of pain, what a weird person." When the young man looked up, he happened to meet Guo Nuan, and the two couldn't help smiling.

"Thank you, brother, you saved this life. If there is something worth serving in the future, I, Guo Nuan, will do my best."

"Well, it's okay, this is just my job. If I were any innocent person under the butcher's knife, I would be obliged to throw that knife." Seeing the young man's straightforwardness, Guo Nuan burst out laughing. He felt more pleasing to the eye.

"What's your name?" Guo Nuan asked lightly.

"Well, Concubine Guo, you have been given medicine for treating sores. When you take a bath, be careful not to touch the wound with water. I'm busy with work. Let's talk about it if we have a chance. Farewell."

The young man lowered his head and focused on bandaging the wound. He didn't respond to Guo Nuan's words, but just muttered something, then put the small porcelain bottle containing the medicine into Guo Nuan's hand, stood up, tapped his hand, turned and left with a smile.

Guo Nuan sat in the original position, stunned for a moment, unexpectedly, the young man already knew his identity.Just as he was in a daze, the young man who walked to the corridor on the second floor turned his back and said a word:

"My name is Yan Ruoshui." Then he disappeared.

"Uh, the girl's name?" Guo Nuan was speechless for a while, but the heavy bloody smell in the air has gradually become thinner after being diluted by the air outside the window for a period of time, and Guo Nuan inadvertently smelled another smell in the air .

"It's strange, why there is still a woman's rouge fragrance."

. . .

After the commotion in the restaurant, it was early morning, taking advantage of the darkness, Guo Nuan returned to the Fenyang Prince's Mansion, in order to avoid disturbing the people in the mansion, he entered the mansion through the back door in a low-key manner.

Fortunately, the injury was not serious that day, but there was a lot of blood. With Yan Ruoshui's wound medicine and timely care, the palm of his right hand formed a scab within two days.

It is said that an eminent monk came from Tianzhu a few days ago. The eminent monk has recently settled in the Zhongnanshan Temple dozens of miles away from Chang'an City. In a few days, it will be the annual traditional fasting day of Buddhism. The eminent monk from Tianzhu will hold it in Zhongnanshan. A grand Buddhist exchange meeting.

Wang was originally a devout Buddhist, so there was no reason to miss this grand event. The housekeeper said that the mistress would not return to the house in a few days, and handed over a letter to Guo Nuan.Guo Nuan's mother was out, and he seemed to have nothing to do in the mansion, very quiet.

On the day before going back, Li Meng, who had been in the palace for two days, happened to return to the palace.The situation at the border has been severe recently, and various border guards have been transferred frequently.Li Meng went to Chang'an under Guo Ziyi's order. In addition to sending Guo Nuan his father's birthday gift, more importantly, this time he had to go to the palace to meet the emperor and write a letter to explain the border situation.

It is said that a month ago, this mighty middle-aged general was a captain of Zhechong Mansion Cong Wupin Guoyi under his father's command. Later, due to random mobilization of the garrison troops, his subordinates suffered heavy casualties, committed a crime of dereliction of duty, and were almost arrested. The military law department beheaded.

Half a month ago, Li Meng committed crimes and performed meritorious service. He led the vanguard in Mobei, destroyed the tooth tent of a medium-sized Turkic tribe Khan, beheaded more than 1000 people, and killed [-] enemies. He made a great contribution. Guo Ziyi sent him to the capital this time. It was requested to be canonized.

The day before yesterday, Guo Ziyi's letter of appointment had been approved by the emperor, and now Li Meng was blessed by misfortune, not only exempted from the crime of dereliction of duty, but also promoted to the rank of Zhechong Captain from the fourth rank.

Due to the tense border situation and military tension at the beginning of the year, the Turkic cavalry invaded Shuofang Border Town once a month to two or three times. As a senior general, Li Meng really had no time to delay. He led more than a dozen cavalrymen under him to bid farewell to Guo Nuan in a hurry.

For Li Meng, a titan, loyal, resolute, courageous, self-disciplined, Guo Nuan can find all the good qualities of a soldier, and he has a good impression of him.Originally, I wanted to find a free time to go to Chang'an Lefang Tavern to have a drink with Li Meng, so that the two could get acquainted and exchange feelings, but I didn't expect him to leave soon, which made Guo Nuan a little disappointed .

"Young master, according to the army's regulations, next year it will be Shuofang Army's turn to be the capital of Zhechong Mansion Suwei. At the end of that time, I will have a drink with you again, and I will bid farewell."

Li Meng left a word, and after cupping his hands, he got on his horse neatly, then raised his whip and led a dozen or so armored riders away on the post road.Now that she knew that she would have a chance to meet next year, Guo Nuan didn't hold back any more and bid farewell to Li Meng and his party.

In the early morning of the fourth day of the lunar new year, Guo Nuan gave some trivial instructions to the servants of the Guo family, and there was nothing to worry about in the house, so she bid farewell to everyone and prepared to return to the princess mansion.
