Chapter 374 Tell me

Whether it was because of his friendship with King Yi or something else, Guo Kang agreed readily and told Fang Anren a time and address for the meeting.

The next afternoon, this was the time agreed by Guo Kang and Fang Anren.

Pei Mo and Fang Anren arrived at the market on the outskirts of Beijing early and found a seat to sit down.

This market is crowded with people, including merchants selling food, poor scholars selling calligraphy and painting articles, theater troupes making a living by performing arts, and old people knitting knickknacks in exchange for money.

At the end of the hustle and bustle are two people holding teacups sitting quietly and waiting. They are lucky and do not need to worry about three meals a day. They are also unfortunate. They could have lived their own lives selfishly, but for all kinds of unwilling and complicated reasons.

The mood is forced to become a caged beast.

But they worked hard to break free from the cage. Although the process was heartbreaking, the world outside the cage was bright, warm, free and vast, and nothing could restrain them anymore.

"Is this really the address Guo Kang agreed with you?"

Pei Mo looked at the crowds of people in front of him and couldn't help but worry about it. If a riot was caused, an accident would inevitably happen here. The commander of the imperial army didn't look like a person who didn't think well.

But then he thought about it, there were so many people here, it was very suitable for people like Guo Kang who didn't like to form cliques.

Fang Anren smiled coquettishly, his eyes evasive. To be honest, when he came to this address, he also doubted whether he had gone to the wrong place, but he repeatedly confirmed that the words written on the paper were correct, and it was here.

But after they waited for nearly an hour, they didn't even see Guo Kang's shadow. Fang Anren himself began to feel unconfident. He took out the letter and silently read the words on the paper.

‘Tomorrow at Shenshi time, we’ll see you at the old market in the south lane of the suburbs of Beijing.’

Fang Anren frowned, there was nothing wrong, he came according to the time and place Guo Kang gave him!

After looking around, there was still no sign of Guo Kang. Fang Anren's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his letter had been slipped?

Just when he was feeling uneasy, Pei Mo turned his head and looked into the crowd, his eyes glimmering.

Following Pei Mo's line of sight, he saw a burly man in coarse linen clothes carrying half a fan of pork on his shoulders in the bustling sea of ​​people. What was surprising was that this man was actually a head taller than everyone around him.

, and he has big shoulders and a round waist. Even if he is not carrying a sharp weapon, it makes people feel that this person exudes evil energy.

This terrifying posture made no one within three steps of the man dare to approach. Just like that, an empty space was created in the crowded crowd, and the man was walking towards the crowd without looking sideways.

Pei Mo looked away and breathed a sigh of relief. The person who came was Guo Kang, the commander of the Imperial Army. It seemed that they had not waited in vain.

The commotion caused by Guo Kang was not small. Fang Anren also noticed Guo Kang. Seeing what Guo Kang was carrying on his shoulders, he couldn't help but have an idea in his mind. Could it be the reason why Guo Kang didn't marry and have children?

It's because he couldn't find a wife, because no girl dared to marry him, so he didn't have any children either...

Guo Kang got closer and closer, Fang Anren lowered his head and took a sip of tea with a guilty conscience.

Walking to the small table where Pei Mo was, Guo Kang put the pork on his shoulder on the table. With a "pop" sound, the small table shook. Fang Anren couldn't help but look at the shaking table legs.

He stretched out his hand and supported it until it stopped shaking before daring to let go.

Fang Anren raised his head and looked at Guo Kang's face. In fact, despite Guo Kang's burly body, he still had a good face. It was quite pitiful that he was almost forty years old and still couldn't find a wife.

Fang Anren, who is about to marry a wife, is gloating about his misfortune.

"Major General Fang invited me here, why did he bring an outsider with him?"

There was no emotion or anger in Guo Kang's words. He glanced at Pei Mo. He had heard a little about this general, who was capable, but he and Pei Mo rarely met, and he didn't know if he was someone he could interact with.

It is very unconventional that the voice of Guo Kang, who is a head taller than ordinary people, is not as rough as expected, but as dull as the low roar of a beast.

Fang Anren smiled, poured a cup of tea for Guo Kang, stretched out his hand across the half fan of pork on the table and handed it to him, "Commander Guo is drinking tea. In fact, this time I asked the commander out because Brother Pei wanted to see the commander and wanted to see the commander."

Don't blame me for being good at making decisions."

Guo Kang's face was still cold, but he accepted Fang Anren's tea naturally.

"Well, if General Pei wants to see me for anything, just ask him. The weather today is quite good, and it's suitable for curing bacon."

Although he didn't blame them, Guo Kang was urging them to speak quickly if they had anything to say, looking impatient and not to delay him from curing the bacon.

Fang Anren felt a little worried about his impatience. Aren't the emperor's affairs more important than curing bacon?

Pei Mo didn't care about Guo Kang's cold face. He just looked around and saw that no one noticed them. Then he spoke with relief, but his voice was obviously lowered. After all, this matter was not trivial. If others heard it,

This is incredible.

"General Guo is a cheerful person, so Pei Mo doesn't mince words." Pei Mo put down his tea cup and met Guo Kang's sharp eyes, "It's just that this matter concerns the country of Dashun. Can Commander Guo want to change the place to talk?"

"laugh."

Guo Kang smiled disdainfully, Dashun's Jiangshan Sheji?

He suddenly felt that Pei Mo, the general of the country, was nothing more than that, and he could make such a ridiculous excuse.

So Guo Kang joked, "It's really hard for General Pei. In order to make me laugh, he actually racked his brains to come up with a joke."

Fang Anren couldn't help but sweat when he heard the change in Guo Kang's title. When his father mentioned Guo Kang before, he didn't think he had a weird temper. When he saw him today, he realized that he was difficult to deal with.

Pei Mo, who was laughed at, looked calm and composed, without any shame or resentment. He just explained calmly, "Pei is not joking. Doesn't Commander Guo feel that the emperor's illness is strange this time?"

Guo Kang raised his eyebrows. It turned out that Pei Mo had the emperor's idea. He was so bold. He suddenly became interested, "Really? How strange it is. General Pei will tell you."

He knew about the emperor's illness, and he even heard personally that the emperor's coughing up blood was caused by overwork. Could it be that Dr. Guan still dared to lie about the emperor's illness?

Seeing that Pei Mo was calm and unhurried, Fang Anren was relieved. He believed that Brother Pei could handle the matter well, so he turned around to give them a break.

Seeing Fang Anren's behavior, Guo Kang wondered why the boy from the Fang family trusted Pei Mo so much. Thinking about it, he glanced at Pei Mo in surprise. It seemed that this Pei Mo was quite good at deceiving others.

Pei Mo didn't know that he had left a bad impression on Guo Kang. He tapped his fingertips on the table, "Pei Mo thought that someone was poisoning the emperor behind his back."
