Guo Xingjian's home was filled with messages from his confidants who were placed in the Six Cathedrals:

"Recently, all the officers who were on leave from Liu Cunxiao returned to the army. It is said that they learned that the Liao people were going to invade, and officers and soldiers were not allowed to go out without any trouble."

"Recently, we have mobilized grain and horse materials, and several warehouses have been filled, so we will build another simple warehouse to load grain."

"There are no rests in the workshops such as the Blacksmith Camp. The quantity is set and completed on schedule. Otherwise, they will be punished."

"A group of strangers came to Liu San's family, who looked very much like the Khitans."

Guo Xingjian was a member of Guo Wei's clan. In his early years, he worked as a civil servant in the Later Han Dynasty and served as a "Censor-in-Chief". He resigned from his post angrily because he was dissatisfied with the actions of the warriors Yang Bin, Shi Hongzhao and others, and then returned to his hometown in Cangzhou. The emperor of the Later Han Dynasty sent Liu Zhu to kill all the families of Guo Wei. Guo Wei's young son Qingge, Yige, underage nephew Shouyun, Fengchao, Dingge, Chai Rong's eldest son Yige and the second son who had not yet named him all became unjust souls. Guo Xingjian survived the disaster because he returned to Cangzhou and vowed not to become an official again.

Guo Wei invited him many times, but he refused on the grounds of being in poor health. Guo Wei was not forced to invite him, but he gave him a very confidential task, which was to monitor Liu Cunxiao, the governor of Cangzhou, as a condition to not become an official. There have been too many experiences and lessons since the late Tang Dynasty, which made Guo Wei always have doubts about the warriors. Guo Xingjian used his family power in Cangzhou to install many confidants around the governor.

The official system of the Great Zhou Dynasty basically inherited the Tang system. There were governors under the Jiedu, and there were different officials under the governors, including the chiefs, Sima and others, and there were record officers and officers of the military and the six Caos. The six Caos were called Sigong, Sicang, Sihu, Sihan, Judicial, and Sishi. Correspondingly, the six Caos were the chiefs of Sigong, Sicang, Sihu, Sihan, Judicial, and Sishi. Among them, the six Caos were Sigong, Sihu, Sihan, Sihan, Judicial, and Sishi. Among them, there were minor officials in Sigong, Sihan and Sikang who had close connections with the Guo family. Although they could not obtain core information, they could understand the whole picture by just a glance, and basically grasped Liu Cunxiao's movements. Guo Xingjian never interacted with the people of the Cangzhou official family. Therefore, Liu Cunxiao did not discover the personnel assigned by Guo Xingjian.

Over the years, Liu Cunxiao was in the position of Jiedushi, but after Murong Yanchao rose up, Liu Cunxiao suddenly strengthened his military preparations. The military strength of Cangzhou had already exceeded the scope of the Jiedushi. In the past six months, there were mysterious figures in Liu Cunxiao and Liu San Mansions, which attracted Guo Xingjian's attention. Recently, various information has flowed in and out, allowing Guo Xingjian, who has been experiencing a long-standing storm, to smell a slight storm, so he wrote a secret letter for his confidant to send it to Chanzhou.

Hou Dayong also felt the coming of a storm. After fighting fiercely with Zhao Wu in the forest, Hou Dayong understood in his heart that he must have been followed, otherwise he would not have been blocked in the woods. Is it Zhao Wu or someone else? After Hou Dayong returned to the Xiwan Villa, he decided to leave this place as soon as possible and go to Chanzhou to find Chai Rong. Hou Dayong called Chunlan Qiuju to the room and said, "Thank you for your care in the near future. I want to go to Chanzhou. After this, I will be displaced, have no place to live, and live a difficult life."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chunlan, "Liu Sanlang has given Chunlan Qiuju to his husband. Chunlan Qiuju is his husband's member. No matter where the husband goes, we will serve the husband."

"I want to join the army, but my two daughters are not suitable to be with me in troubled times."

Qiu Ju said anxiously: "If you don't take us away, you will let the little girl die."

Chunlan's parents died when she was young, while Qiuju came from an official family. Her father was convicted and imprisoned and died, and her family fell into ruin. The two were sold to the Liu Mansion since childhood. Over the past few years, the tragic experiences of the slaves made them shudder. When they were given to Hou Lang by Liu San, they thought they had given to a rough man from the north, and they secretly shed tears. Unexpectedly, Hou Lang never regarded them as slaves. He cared for them with affectionately, caring, and scolding, and insulted. The two felt that although they were with Hou Dayong for only two or three days, it was their happiest time. Therefore, when Hou Dayong told them that they were leaving, both of them were anxious.

Chunlan and Qiuju knelt on the ground. Chunlan cried and said, "Don't abandon us, the little girl has no parents since she was a child, and the little girl is the little girl's relative."

Qiuju said, "Let's take us away. When we are with you, we still feel that we are the same person. We were not as good as a horse before."

When Hou Dayong heard Chunlan for the first time, Qiu Ju revealed his heart. Seeing the two kneeling on the ground, he quickly helped them up. Chunlan and Qiu Ju stood up, each of them grabbed Hou Dayong with one hand and rushed into Hou Dayong's arms. He hugged Hou Dayong tightly, and tears made Hou Dayong's chest wet. The reactions of the two women moved Hou Dayong very much, so Hou Dayong hugged them tightly.

At this time, Hou Dayong's sense of responsibility a man was born. After coming to this world, he always felt that he was a passerby. Although Ajige felt uncomfortable when he left Baitou Mountain, she hunted and grazed with her tribe members, working hard and tiring, but she didn't have to rely on him. Chunlan and Qiuju were different, and his existence could bring them a different life. "If you can't change the world, I will change the fate of the people around you." Hou Dayong made up his mind to let these two poor girls have a good life in the days to come, so that these two poor girls would not be bullied or insulted them anymore. This was the first time after coming to ancient times, Hou Dayong truly felt the responsibility of the country and nation that the responsibility of the country has not yet been pressed on his shoulders, but it is real to be responsible for these two little girls.

Afterwards, Hou Dayong said goodbye to Liu San. Liu San hesitated for a while. Seeing that Hou Dayong was firm in his attitude, he agreed and said casually: "How can the shallow water hide the dragon? Where does Hou Lang want to go?"

Seeing that Liu San agreed to say goodbye, Hou Dayong said the truth: "I think of Chanzhou."

Liu San's eyelids shook slightly and then calmed down. In the evening, Liu San asked Hou Dayong to have a meal again. Everyone who attended the dinner knew that Hou Dayong was leaving and toasted them. Fortunately, when Hou Dayong was in the grassroots company, he often drank with his comrades during holidays and had a good alcohol tolerance. At that time, he loved to drink the Red Star Erguotou at 56 degrees. Therefore, although he drank a lot of wine today, he was not completely drunk because of the low rice wine level.

Back at the other courtyard, Hou Dayong found a basin, poked his throat hard at the basin, spit out all the wine he drank tonight, and ate some porridge. This way, the people felt a little more comfortable.

During the day, Chunlan and Qiuju showed their feelings. Although they were happy, they could see Hou Dayong still feeling a little embarrassed. Especially Qiuju, when she saw Hou Dayong drinking, she blushed and hurriedly poured water for Hou Dayong, and then went to the kitchen to make snacks for Hou Dayong. Chunlan took a towel to wipe Hou Dayong's face. Hou Dayong was tall, Chunlan was cushioning, straightened her waist, raised her head, and gently wiped it. Hou Dayong smelled Chunlan's breath and lowered her head to see Chunlan's snow-white neck. She couldn't help but reach out to grab Chunlan's thinness.

With his waist, he hugged Chunlan in his arms. When Hou Dayong hugged Chunlan, he obviously felt Chunlan's body become stiff and trembled slightly. Chunlan buried her head in Hou Dayong's arms and did not move. Holding Chunlan's soft body, Hou Dayong's body naturally reacted. He gently stroked Chunlan. When his hands slid to his chest, Chunlan moaned softly, and his hands also hugged Hou Dayong's bear waist. Hou Dayong kissed Chunlan's forehead, cheeks and lips with his lips, and then let go of Chunlan.

Qiu Ju happened to see this scene and felt her legs were weak, so she leaned against the door to stabilize her mind.

After the two girls went to bed, Hou Dayong checked the doors and windows out of professional habits, went to the yard for a while before going to bed to rest. When Hou Dayong was alone, he took out his cell phone and his wife and daughter came to his side from another world. His wife still gently instructed: "Husband, be careful of your health, don't work too hard, drink less wine, and miss me and my sister." Hou Dayong sighed and said to the cell phone: "Wife, you won't have any objections to me, right? They are so pitiful and no one loves you. I know, my wife has the best heart, you will understand."

In the middle of the night, Hou Dayong was a little anxious because he drank a lot of wine. Qiu Ju had prepared a chamber pot for him, but Hou Dayong thought of the two little girls sleeping outside. It was late at night and he was peeing inside. He was really embarrassed. It was cold in winter, so he put on his clothes and went to the yard to find a secluded place to facilitate.

After the convenience was over, Hou Dayong was about to walk back, and suddenly heard a noise on the courtyard wall and hurriedly flashed into the darkness. He saw two people climbing up the courtyard wall, both covered with knives. The two jumped off the courtyard wall without any sound. When they arrived in the courtyard, one of them went to the door to wait, and the other went to the window and took out a small tube. The masked man gently pierced the window and blew it in. It seemed that it was something like a mist. Hou Dayong quietly came behind the masked man by the window closest to him, with both hands

He held his neck and twisted it suddenly. The masked man had no resistance. His neck was broken and he lost his life in an instant. Hou Dayong took off his mask and covered it, picked up the knife inserted at his waist, and walked calmly towards the man at the door. The masked man at the door thought that his companion had succeeded, but he didn't pay attention to who the person was in the dark. When Hou Dayong approached and the masked man found something wrong, he had been stabbed in the neck. The masked man was chopped to the ground without even making a scream.

Hou Dayong carried the two into the inner room, closed the door of the house, and took out the mobile phone. This military phone had a lighting function similar to a flashlight. Hou Dayong carefully checked it and neither of them had seen it. Apart from weapons and tubular objects similar to mosquito coils, there were no extra things. Judging from the two of them jumped off the wall and their cooperation, the two should have been well-trained and cooperated for a long time. Hou Dayong touched his palms, and there were thick calluses at the tiger's mouth. I think it was for the long-term practice of weapons.

"To go to the other courtyard, you must first enter the gate. The gate wall is more than four meters long and there are servants waiting for you. How can these two people come in?" Hou Dayong came to Chunlan Qiuju's bed, woke them up, and said, "Don't talk. Listen to me, there are assassins in the house, and I have killed them. Come and recognize them to see if they know each other."

Chunlan Qiuju was so scared that her face was pale. With the light of her cell phone, she boldly looked at the two corpses. Chunlan shook her head and said she didn't know her. After a long time, Qiuju said: "It seems that she has seen one person. The Jiedushi fought with the Liao people two years ago and returned to the city after victory. I went to watch the fun. I saw him riding a tall horse in the team from afar, and was an officer."

Hou Dayong asked, "Can you be sure?"

"Yes, it should be true. There is a scar on his left face, which is very scary. I remembered it at that time."

Hou Dayong thought to himself: "Is it Liu San's person? It makes no sense to do this. I didn't offend them. There is no need to kill me. If you want to kill me, you don't need to send an assassin. Just find someone to arrest me. Could it be that you are guilty of being a thief? This is not a desire to cover up."

Hou Dayong took out his pistol and loaded the bullets, and never dared to sleep again.
