Chapter Twelve: Guo Zixing, the Man Who Hates Dogs(1/2)
Through today's warning from Supervisor Xie Jinzhong, Chang Yuchun also knew the critical nature of Lan Yu's matter, and he guessed that his boss Suning might have asked Xie Jinzhong to warn him.
That night, Chang Yuchun immediately wrote to his wife in Chuzhou City, explaining the seriousness of the matter in detail, and then asked her sister to strictly discipline Lan Yu.
You must know that Lan Yu is the hope of the Chang Lan family. He became the captain of the navy at the age of seventeen, and he is also a powerful general leading two thousand elites. His future future is as bright as you can imagine. If it is because of his unruly character
Provoking the boss's ire is not worth the gain.
It wasn't until he finished writing the letter home that Chang Yuchun felt relieved, and then he began to look forward to the coming of Hu Weiyong, because he knew that he could only proceed if Hu Weiyong reached an agreement with the Red Scarf Army north of the Huaihe River.
His journey on the battlefield.
The next morning, as soon as Chang Yuchun handed over the family letter to his soldiers for distribution, he heard the news that Hu Weiyong had arrived in Haozhou City, and he quickly followed the supervisor Xie Jinzhong out of the city to greet him.
When Chang Yuchun and Xie Jinzhong arrived at the city gate, they unexpectedly found that the rich families of Haozhou City, Guo Zixing and Guo Tianxu and his son, were also there. Then they both looked at each other in surprise.
"My two gentlemen, I heard that the special envoy of your army, Hu Weiyong, was coming to Haozhou City, so I took my dog out of the city to greet him."
"Haha, Mr. Guo's information is quite good!" Supervisor Xie Jinzhong looked at Guo Zixing meaningfully.
"Haha, what are you talking about, Lord Supervisor?
It’s true that Special Envoy Hu was welcomed by dignitaries from all over the country, so Mr. Guo will surely get the news.”
Hearing Guo Zixing's explanation, Xie Jinzhong and Chang Yuchun were quite helpless. At this time, they also realized that this new celebrity next to their boss was so high-profile. It seemed that Hu Weiyong knew his boss's temperament very well.
Sooner or later he will suffer a big loss on himself.
Soon Hu Weiyong's team appeared. Seeing the people coming out of the city to greet them, Hu Weiyong felt very proud, thinking that this was the life and status a man should have.
"Haha, Mr. Chang and Xie Jianjun went out of the city to greet them. Mr. Hu is really guilty!"
Although Hu Weiyong was talking about sins, his expression was very proud. Chang Yuchun and Xie Jinzhong knew that Hu Weiyong was a man they should not be friends with as soon as they saw Hu Weiyong's expression. They thought that he was a scholar who would go wild when he got his ambitions.
"Haha, what are you talking about, Mr. Hu?
You are a popular person next to our boss, who dares not to give you some face!"
"Haha, we all work for our boss.
So don’t be polite to each other!”
“That’s what Envoy Hu said!
Invite the envoy to the city!"
"Haha, okay!"
"Special Envoy Hu, Guo Zixing is in Xiahaozhou, and I came here to pay homage to Special Envoy Hu." At this time, Guo Zixing took advantage of every opportunity to salute and introduce Hu Weiyong.
"Oh? Are you Guo Zixing?
Both my boss and Mr. Hu have heard of you.
My boss also asked me to bring you a message, hoping that you can live and work in peace and contentment." Hu Weiyong looked at Guo Zixing meaningfully, and then said Suning's "greetings".
"Ah?" Hearing these meaningful words, Guo Zixing's face suddenly turned ugly.
Hu Weiyong did not continue to pay attention to Guo Zixing and his son, but followed Chang Yuchun and Xie Jinzhong into Haozhou City, leaving Guo Zixing at the gate of the city where heaven and man met.
"Father, all the Hutt envoys have left." Seeing that everyone had left, Guo Tianxu pulled Guo Zixing's sleeve.
"Uh? Oh!
Just go!
It seems that our Guo family has no hope anymore."
"Father, what did Hu Weiyong mean by what he just said?"
"Humph! What else could it mean?
Just let us, father and son, be more honest."
"Ah? Suning, the owner of the Red Flag Army, has never had any contact with our Guo family. Why does he exclude our Guo family and his son so much?"
"Hey! You ask me, who should I ask?" Guo Zixing was a little annoyed when he heard his son Guo Tianxu's question, "That's right!
I asked you to contact Hua Yun and the others, is there any progress?"
"Father, talking about this matter makes me dizzy.
Hua Yun and the others were all locked up in a military camp, where they were trained "one, two, one, left, right, left" every day. I don't know what the point of the Red Flag Army's training them like this was!"
"Eh? Then you have contacted Hua Yun and the others?" Guo Zixing suddenly looked at his son expectantly.
"That's not true!
There are always red flag army guard handles at the entrance of the military camp, and I can't get close to them!"
"Trash! You can't even handle this!
What’s the use of me giving birth to you?”
"Father..." Guo Tianxu suddenly felt aggrieved.
But the irritable Guo Zixing ignored his son's grievances and walked away directly, "Humph!"
When Guo Zixing returned to the Guo Mansion, he became more and more angry as he thought about it. He sat down in the study and sulked. At this time, his adopted daughter Ma Xiuying quickly brought a cup of hot tea.
"Father, please have tea."
Guo Zixing looked at his well-behaved adopted daughter Ma Xiuying, and then he felt a little better in his heart, "Xiuying, you are the most sensible!"
Guo Zixing complimented with a smile and asked for a cup of tea. He suddenly stopped as soon as the tea cup was placed on his lips, and then looked meaningfully at the young and beautiful adopted daughter.
"Father, what's wrong?" Ma Xiuying was shocked by Guo Zixing's sudden behavior.
"Xiuying, my adoptive father has encountered difficulties now.
Can you help me as a father?" Guo Zixing put down his tea cup, and then looked at his adopted daughter Ma Xiuying expectantly.
"Father, what do you need your daughter to do?" At this time, the smart Ma Xiuying had already guessed Guo Zixing's thoughts, and then showed a forced smile.
Guo Zixing was a mature man, so of course he could see the bitterness on his adopted daughter Ma Xiuying's face, but thinking of the honor and disgrace of his Guo family, he could only let his adopted daughter die.
"Xiuying, today my father has confirmed that the Guo family is disliked by Suning in Jiqing.
But our Guo family now has to rely on others to survive, so I want to marry you to Suning from Jiqing as my concubine."
"ah?"
Although she had already made assumptions in her heart and knew that the Guo family had been frustrated and unwilling recently, Ma Xiuying still couldn't help but cry when these words came out of her adoptive father's mouth.
"Xiuying, why do you have to do this?
If you really don't want to, just pretend that your father never said anything about it."
"Father, my daughter is willing!" Ma Xiuying stopped crying and nodded in agreement.
"What?"
"Father, my daughter said she is willing.
If she can help the Guo family get out of trouble by herself, my daughter is willing to sacrifice for it."
"Xiuying... I failed you and your father because of my father.
As a father, I'm sorry for you and your daughter!" At this time, Guo Zixing also felt a little ashamed, and then shed a drop of crocodile tears.
"Father, it is a daughter's honor to be able to repay her foster father for her kindness in raising her."
...
Chang Yuchun and Xie Jinzhong held a welcome banquet for Hu Weiyong. At the banquet, the three of them had a great time changing glasses. Chang Yuchun was a big drinker, and soon he was lost in the delicious wine and food.
The military regulations of the Red Flag Army were too strict. In fact, this made Chang Yuchun feel very aggrieved and wanted to go out to fight. But now he not only had to guard Haozhou City, but he also had to endure the iron law of not drinking alcohol in the army every day.
"Haha, what a pleasure! What a damn pleasure!"
Seeing Chang Yuchun's drunkenness, Supervisor Xie Jinzhong didn't say anything, because he also felt aggrieved and wanted to go out and make contributions.
"Haha, Special Envoy Hu, I made you laugh!
It is an iron rule in the army not to drink alcohol, and I am borrowing your light today."
"Haha, we are all our own people.
There’s no need to be so polite, it’s all understandable.”
At this moment, a Red Flag Army guard came in. He looked at the three giants and saluted and reported, "Sir, there is Guo Zixing outside the door who wants to see you."
"Who? Guo Zixing?" Chang Yuchun, who was already drunk, was most annoyed by Guo Zixing. He had long seen his ambition and talent, "What is this old boy doing here again?"
"Commander, he said he wanted to see Special Envoy Hu."
"Eh? Special Envoy Hu, what do you think we should do about this?" Supervisor Xie Jinzhong looked at Hu Weiyong with a troubled face.
"Haha, since this Guo Zixing is so persistent, it doesn't hurt for me to go out and meet him."
"Yeah! That's good!" Supervisor Xie Jinzhong also agreed with Hu Weiyong's idea, "Special Envoy Hu, there is a side hall next door, you can use it as you like."
"Haha, how about the three of us meet this Guo Zixing together for a while."
"Eh? Let's forget it!
