In an era when clan lords and warlords were fighting each other, he was a poor man under the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System, and he violently consolidated his military and political power in Xiliang. He was unable to take care of the chaos in the Central Plains, but the central government sent him to the Central Plains many times to quell the chaos.

, he also used ruthless means to win many victories, but he just wanted to stick to the land of Xiliang, not to become a king immediately, but just to have a glimmer of hope that Hegu could still be alive in this corner of Guzang.

He stayed away from his hometown of Yiyang, established his own system in Guzang, and became the most prominent family in Xiliang.

With his current status in Guzang, he no longer needs to marry any wealthy Daqing family.

But his heart was empty, he could not taste any sweetness of life, and he had no hope.

He just likes to sit quietly at home alone, reliving the days he and his aunt were together in his mind over and over again, and then his image of her comes into his mind over and over again, because he is afraid that one day he will not remember it.

, will be forgotten after a long time, so he tried hard to make himself think of her many times every day, so that her appearance was still fresh in his heart, as if she had never left.

But in the eyes of others, he now looks gloomy and has lost his previous liveliness, as if he is suffering from some kind of incurable disease.

The situation was turbulent, and Zhang Gui took the risk to protect himself. After the Hexi Corridor, no one else stood up. He only pursued pragmatism and did not seek fame. He remained a minister of the Jin Dynasty. In order to escape the war, the Han people fled to Hexi one after another. The agriculture and economy of Hexi were in

Under the governance of Zhang Gui, it developed rapidly. It improved its internal affairs, recruited wise men, and spread Confucian literature. With the help of the Suo clan, it used five-bead coins with Chinese characters as its currency for trade.

For a time, Xiliang, with the Hexi Corridor as its passage, became a pure land in troubled times.

The intelligence bureau originally established in Yiyang was destroyed by the Jiangnan plutocrats, so Fan Yuan had no choice but to take a group of girls from Liyuanzi and go west to Guzang.

Beigong Jun also became a famous general under Zhang Gui, fighting everywhere, but he was reckless by nature and loved to fight on the battlefield. In order to balance his power in the army, Zhang Gui made it easier for Song Pei to follow him as a counselor.

In the past three years, Zhang Gui never had a good night's sleep, except one night a year ago, when he had a dream.

In the past, whenever Zhang Shiyan fell asleep every night, he would dream about his aunt dying tragically in the palace alone and suffering from the cold on the mass burial slope.

But that night, the nun in the dream did not suffer. She was like a spring breeze blowing on her face, and her smiling face told him that she was still alive and her life was not bad now. The two hugged each other in the dream, and Zhang Shiyan cried with joy.

.

After waking up, he firmly believed that Hegu was still alive. In the dream, Hegu's appearance, the feeling Hegu gave him and the touch of hugging her were all very real.

So from then on, he firmly believed that He Gu was still alive. She was not dead, but he just didn't find her.

In the dream, he lay in Hegu's warm arms and told her the pain of these years, expressed his pain and regret to her, hugged her intimately, kissed her passionately, and lingered for a whole night.

After I woke up, I felt very good, as if the fragrance of my aunt was lingering on my pillow.

During that period, his character was very approachable and not as violent as usual.

From then on, he often smelled the fragrant scent of Hegu's body like a hallucination, which calmed his mind and made him sleep much better.

It turned out that Shui Zhi, the personal maid, saw that he was often unable to sleep peacefully and struggled for a long time. With the heart of being punished, she lit the medicinal candle that He Gu had mixed for the eldest young master before he died. The herbal fragrance of the medicinal candle burned with the candle.

Zhang Shiyan's inner room was scattered, and he slept surprisingly peacefully.

Another night when he was sleeping deeply, he dreamed that his aunt was carrying a medicine box on her back, pushing open his door as before, calling his name, Shiyan, come here. In the dream, he rushed forward desperately,

Holding her tightly, they seemed to have no grudges, nothing seemed to have happened, they were just like all the lovers in the world, hugging each other and feeling affectionate.

In fact, the dream that night was not an illusion, but reality.

But He Gu is no longer the former He Gu. After she was sentenced to death by the palace and thrown into a mass grave, her master actually sent someone to save her life. However, the master still refused to come forward to see her and only asked

People spread the word, hoping that she would behave herself and stop doing anything against the rules.

The reason why she didn't want to see her was because she had been expelled from the master a long time ago, but Hegu didn't understand why the master still wanted to save her. She thought, maybe the master couldn't let go of the master-disciple relationship for many years, so she felt that she had failed her master's expectations.

Then he realized that her death was probably a plot by Queen Yang's people, so he became a scapegoat and eliminated Concubine Hui's prince on behalf of Queen Yang.

Everyone knew that Queen Yang was a distant relative of Zhang Shiyan's mother, so the matter became clear.

So, He Gu changed her appearance and abandoned her previous disguise. She lost the appearance of "He Gu" and changed her name to "Kapok". However, the current Kapok is He Gu's original appearance.

The appearance has always been her disguise.

Aunt He, who changed her name and appearance, left Luoyang and went to Xianbei to practice medicine, and she also accepted a disciple on the way.

The Xianbei clan was also at war with the warlords of various ethnic groups in the Jin Dynasty. Therefore, with her medical skills, she was quickly valued by the Xianbei people and joined the Xianbei camp.

But this was not her original plan. She was coerced into the camp by the Xianbei people. This was a temporary choice she made after being coerced. Because with her own strength, she could not stop many people, so she had to become a member of the Xianbei people.

Physician.

However, it happened that Ruoluo Hong, the son of Ruoluo Baneng, the leader of the Xianbei tribe, fell hopelessly in love with kapok. The Xianbei tribe was in turmoil and prepared to enter China.

But when Hegu inquired about it, he found out that their first move when entering China was to attack Liangzhou, where Zhang Shiyan was garrisoned.

Aunt He was worried and wanted to go back to see how Zhang Shiyan was doing, so she came to see him once that night and then left without letting Zhang Shiyan notice. It was because she burned the soothing incense for him, but she really

He was at Gu Zang's house.

Maybe it’s because people are prone to lovesickness, and they can’t forget about him after seeing him. Although He Gu has been hurt a lot in her heart and doesn’t want to be trapped by love anymore, she can’t help but miss him and can’t let him go. So the other night, she went back

She moved into the Zhang Mansion, but today's Kapok is different from the Hegu in the past.

After Hegu survived the catastrophe, she knew that there was no way to survive in the Western Jin Dynasty. If the court found out that she was still alive, she might die again, so she changed her name and appearance, and left Luoyang to stay away from the person who made her

Sadly, I traveled far away to the place occupied by the Xianbei people.

Under the guidance of Ruo Luohong, Kapok learned a lot of martial arts.

Now she can come and go freely in Zhang Mansion without being discovered.

At first, Luo Hong taught Kapok martial arts because he was worried that she was a Han girl and could not understand the language. If she encountered other Xianbei or Rongdi people on the march and did evil, she would be in danger. If she learned three moves and two moves

, if she encounters a little thief, she can protect herself.

Ruo Luo Hong is not like his biological father Ruo Luo Ba, who has complex mental concerns, but is surprisingly innocent. He does not have the calculations and calculations of Zhang Shiyan, and he looks like a child without worries. He only practices martial arts and hunts all day long.

The son does not want to fight for the rights in the family, nor does he care about his father's battles.

But just after the night when Hegu returned to Guzang and had sex with Zhang Shiyan, Hegu became pregnant, which deeply hurt him.
