The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 327
Regarding the negative rumors of the Zhen family, the matter alone does not have a strong influence. After all, the Zhen family only has two high-ranking figures in the officialdom. Zhen family any power.

But Guo Jia was eager to return to Chengdu because he knew that if this matter could not be handled properly and quickly, its impact would affect the overall situation of his rule.

What does the Zhen family represent?
Everyone in the world knows that Guo Jia is what he is today, without Xu Shu, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu, but without the Zhen family, Guo Jia would never be where he is today.

Without the Zhen family spending all their wealth to recruit soldiers and horses for Guo Jia, even if Guo Jia had strong generals and advisers, it would be impossible for Guo Jia to take over Yizhou quickly.

The number one contributor to Guo Jia's foundation today is none other than the Zhen family.

Throughout Yizhou and Guanzhong, civil and military officials didn't talk about rumors, but they all nervously followed Guo Jia's reaction. How would Guo Jia treat the Zhen family who had contributed so much?
If they were really suspicious of the Zhen family, I'm afraid it would inevitably make the other officials feel desolate in their hearts.

Putting aside the talk of trust, as long as the Zhen family does not provide evidence of wrongdoing, Guo Jia will not suppress the Zhen family, or even alienate them.

When Guo Jia returns to Chengdu, the rumors will be self-defeating as time goes by, but this requires a buffer of time for others to gradually understand Guo Jia's attitude. The rumor dissipated.

Marry Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao.

Isn't the outside world rumoring that the Zhen family is cheating?

Aren't outsiders watching Guo Jia's reaction?

What Guo Jia is doing now is to let everyone see clearly that he not only has no intention of suppressing the Zhen family, but also makes the Zhen family more honorable.

People who are aware of the ambiguous relationship between Guo Jia and Zhen Tuo Zhen Dao only think that it is a matter of course, and those who don't know the inside story will think that Guo Jia deliberately used this method to dispel the doubts of others and stabilize people's hearts.

No matter what others think, at least Guo Jia, who is boundless in beauty, held another concubine ceremony.

Under the background that the Northwest is about to be pacified and the Taiping Army is invincible in the Northwest, Guo Jia's concubine in Chengdu can be regarded as a celebration of the occasion.

At the wedding scene, Guo Jia sat in the host seat and drank abstainingly, greeted the guests casually, and accepted the congratulations and praises from the guests.

The scene was not extremely lively, and the guests were used to such occasions. Those who knew Guo Jia very well knew that Guo Jia was not a person who would be indulgent on festive occasions.

Xiao Ren suddenly walked to Guo Jia's side and whispered something in a low voice.

Seeing this scene, the whole room was silent. Xiao Ren's appearance was a signal, and it seemed that it was no small matter to report the matter to Guo Jia alone.

Everyone looked at Guo Jia nervously, wondering if there was another big event happening.

But Guo Jia smiled lightly and said: "She is really a restless person, let's go out and have a look."

Standing up from his seat, Guo Jia stepped forward and walked out. Xiao Ren followed closely beside him. Seeing this posture, the other guests quickly left the seat and walked out. A mighty group of people followed Guo Jia out of the mansion. It's not that the Guo Mansion is grand and spacious, I'm afraid the threshold will be blocked to the point of nowhere.

Walking out of the mansion and standing on the stairs, Guo Jia looked down at the street scene below the stairs with his hands behind his back, full of smiles.

The other people who followed Guo Jia came up and looked down, with various expressions, some were shocked, some were shocked, some were disdainful, some were angry, and they started pointing and discussing.

On the street under the stairs outside the mansion, there are guards on both sides of the road waiting in full battle. Caught in the middle of the road is a group of neatly dressed women with a long sword on their waists. The leader is heroic and unique. Zhu Rong.

This time Zhu Rong wore a Han women's costume, white clothes and white skirt, dressed in snow, and the oblique ponytail was still full of wild charm. He held his head high and held his chest high. The downwind flaunts its strength.

"Guo Jia, today is your big wedding day, and I specially give you a gift."

Most of the officials behind Guo Jia looked annoyed.

But Guo Jia took the time to chuckle. He had told Zhu Rong many times that she was not qualified to call Guo Jia by her first name. When outsiders heard it, it was a kind of contempt and contempt.

The people present turned to anger, but Guo Jia didn't say anything, and no one would jump out and make a point of punishing Zhu Rong.

No one would lose their worth to confront a woman of a foreign race who doesn't understand etiquette.

"Gift? Hehe, you didn't make up a dance for these women to dance on the spot, did you?"

As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, the left and right laughed loudly.

Countless playful gazes cast Zhu Rong and his group of hundreds of people below.

Zhu Rong's complexion changed drastically, and he turned cold and gritted his teeth at Guo Jia: "Guo Jia, don't look down on me, hum!"

After coldly snorting, the hundred women behind her pulled out their long swords around their waists in unison, and raised their weapons in unison, showing a bit of murderous aura.

The scene seemed to become tense in an instant, Xiao Ren stepped forward to Guo Jia's side, and when he was about to ask for instructions, Guo Jia raised his hand to block his words.

Zhu Rong kept staring at Guo Jia, saw that he was always smiling playfully, and suddenly realized, he quickly turned around and ordered the female soldiers to put away their weapons.

Turning his head again, Zhu Rong raised his neck and said proudly: "Guo Jia, I have trained a team of [-] female soldiers for a year and a half, and I will give it to you today, lest your wives and concubines be robbed easily."

Guo Jia stepped down, Xiao Ren wanted to follow, but Guo Jia waved his hand to block him.

What a joke, if Guo Jia had to have guards around at all times at the door of his house, then he would look down on himself.

Walking to Zhu Rong's side, Guo Jia glanced around at these female soldiers. They were all girls in their early twenties, not to mention ordinary in appearance, but each of them did have a somewhat sturdy demeanor.

They also looked at Guo Jia, three parts curious, three parts grateful, four parts in awe.

Since the south was included in Guo Jia's territory, Guo Jia did not exterminate the frontier ethnic groups. Those who are willing to naturalize will receive Guo Jia's strong support, enough food for food and clothing, equipment that is beneficial to the development of people's livelihood, and preferential policies for the convenience of the people, etc. For more than two years, the southern part of Yizhou has been thriving under the new rule, and the people in the southern part are also in awe and gratitude to Guo Jia.

Raising his hand, he flicked Zhu Rong's ponytail that slanted behind his shoulders. Guo Jia chuckled lightly and said, "I haven't seen you for more than a year. It turns out that you are not doing your job and busying yourself with things like this. You can mess around, but don't force others."

Zhu Rong pulled the ponytail behind his shoulders to the front of his body, stretched out his hand to hold it and caressed it unconsciously. Hearing Guo Jia's words, he retorted: "I didn't force others. When I wanted to recruit female soldiers, there were more than a thousand people who signed up. Well, these hundred people were carefully selected by me."

Standing beside her, Guo Jia shook his head helplessly and said, "I really don't know what's going on in your mind. If you're a man, you're already dead."

Dare to recruit troops privately under Guo Jia's rule, that is digging one's own grave.

Fortunately, Zhu Rong was a woman, and she recruited a small number of female soldiers. The governor of Yunnan County didn't take it seriously when he heard about it.

Predominance of boys over girls is the mainstream thinking. No one would think that Zhu Rong's recruitment of a hundred female soldiers was really going to fight. The officials heard that she was just playing around.

Looking around, Guo Jia, who was standing with his hands behind his back, glanced at Zhu Rong dumbfounded.

"Can you tell me, what is the use of these female soldiers? Are they sent to the enemy to destroy, or are they placed in the barracks to make my soldiers uneasy?"

In Guo Jia's view, this is simply a joke.

It's not impossible for female soldiers to go to the battlefield, but they definitely don't have the combat power of men. So, should female soldiers be equipped with good equipment?Giving it is equivalent to the enemy, not giving it is tantamount to letting them die.

And raised in the barracks, what is the difference between these female soldiers and the walking aphrodisiac?
Of course, the military regulations of the Taiping Army will not let the elders swallow them all like wolves, but with female soldiers on the side, why would they want to practice?
Zhu Rong stroked his ponytail, and said as a matter of course: "They can protect your wives and concubines. Your guards are all men, and there are differences between men and women. If you go out, there will always be inconvenience. Why don't you give it to thieves to take advantage of it?" Machine? With the protection of female soldiers, there must be an extra guarantee."

It makes sense.

Guo Jia stared at Zhu Rong for a long time without removing his eyes, as if he wanted to see into her heart through her eyes.

Zhu Rong was embarrassed by Guo Jia's look, took a deep breath, straightened his neck and said solemnly: "I was wrong back then, and I have never apologized to your two wives face to face. Today, taking advantage of the wedding, my gift is Half as a gift, half as an apology."

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth are slightly raised, she is a vigorous woman, a straightforward woman, a daring woman.

Such a woman is worthy of admiration.

"Do they all know the price?"

Guo Jia looked away, speaking softly.

The price of being a soldier is not something that ordinary people can afford. A man has to risk his life to be a soldier, and he may not be able to return home for several years or more, and endure the hardships of the army alone.

In addition to loneliness, there is only blood and war.

But only a small number of people can really complete this road and reach the end of glory and happiness.

When a woman serves as a soldier, it is obvious that she has to sacrifice her most brilliant youth, and even the most basic right to be a husband and a child is deprived, and even if she goes through this journey without incident, when she is old, she may end up alone and helpless.

Zhu Rong solemnly gave Guo Jia an answer.

"When I recruited them, I already informed them of the stakes. They even have the consciousness of death, so what are they afraid of?"

Guo Jia nodded lightly, looked around again in a blink of an eye at these female soldiers with vicissitudes on their faces, and said lightly: "In this case, I accept a big gift from you. Zhu Rong, today I will take a concubine, and you will accept it as well." Come in for a glass of water."

Zhu Rong showed joy, and followed Guo Jia up.

Xiao Ren wanted to remind Guo Jia a few words when Guo Jia returned.

If these female soldiers are malicious, Guo Jia is no different from leading wolves into the house.

But Guo Jia obviously knew what Xiao Ren was going to say, waved his hand and walked straight into the mansion.
