Another summer has arrived, and Tang Yu finally took Guo Jia to the south for a trip. This time, they went to Jingzhou.

Guo Jia wasn't allowed to come to the south before, but with Tang Yu around, he doesn't have to worry about that at all.

So this time, Guo Jia finally learned what the southern scenery described in the books looked like.

Tang Yu rented a small boat, and then, holding Guo Jia's hand, they cruised around the lake to admire the lotus blossoms.

The lake water ripples gently, like a large and warm piece of jade, with layers of lotus leaves and lotus flowers blooming among them, pink and white, indescribably beautiful and moving.

The fragrance of lotus blossoms wafted everywhere. It was a bit hot during the day, so Tang Yu took Guo Jia to tour the lake and admire the lotus blossoms in the evening.

At this moment, the sky softened, and the red glow of the setting sun reflected on the water, causing the waves to shimmer and dance.

The water and the sky seem to blend together, like a naturally formed, exquisite painting, gentle and charming.

A light boat drifts into the heart of the lotus blossoms, where lotus leaves sway gently in the breeze, rustling softly as if whispering secrets.

Fish frolic and play happily among the lotus stems underwater, darting back and forth, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing, stirring up ripples.

Tang Yu stopped rowing and lay down deep in the lotus flowers, while Guo Jia smiled and leaned in to sing.

"Lotus can be picked in Jiangnan, the lotus leaves are so lush and green, and fish play among the lotus leaves."

Fish play among the lotus leaves to the east, fish play among the lotus leaves to the west, fish play among the lotus leaves to the south, fish play among the lotus leaves to the north.

Ah Yu, in the past, I could only imagine what lay deep within the lotus blossoms.

Tang Yu sat up, leaned in to kiss him, and chuckled softly.

"Would you like to go and have a look at Yizhou?"

Guo Jia did not hesitate at all, but instead rested his head in the beauty's arms.

"Why not go? While there's nothing urgent right now, wouldn't it be a great regret to live this life if we didn't go and see the world?"

Tang Yu thought about it and realized there were still many places she could go.

"Then I'll take you to see the vast desert and the western regions. Wherever you want to see the scenery of this world, I'll take you there."

Guo Jia lay deep among the lotus flowers and nodded, then swayed gently with the light boat.

As the moonlight descended like water, its gentle glow spreading across the lotus pond, Guo Jia leaned forward with great interest and tenderly embraced the person beside him.

"Ayu, the moon shines brightly, and the beautiful woman is so lovely. The moonlight is truly beautiful tonight. Shall we indulge ourselves here?"

Moonlight spilled onto the lotus leaves, creating shimmering silver glows. A gentle breeze blew, causing the lotus leaves to sway softly, and the lotus flowers to release their delicate fragrance.

The boat rocked gently, and the person on top of me was both tender and passionate, like a blazing flame, entwining and caressing me until we were whispering sweet nothings in each other's ears.

Chapter 11 Guo Jia 11

For the next few years, the two traveled extensively, not even returning during the winter.

The two first went to Yizhou for sightseeing, and Tang Yu took Guo Jia to see the famous Jianmen in later generations.

Although Zhuge Liang had not yet repaired this place, the scene at this time was already magnificent and amazing enough.

"Truly, one man can hold the pass against ten thousand! Liu Yan and Liu Zhang, father and son, have such a blessed land, yet they did not build a pass here. They are truly short-sighted."

Guo Jia's words immediately amused Tang Yu.

“You and someone else think alike, but Liu Yan and Liu Zhang are not stupid. I estimate that they have never been here before, so the people below are not interested in taking the initiative to do anything.”

Those born and raised in wealthy families cannot thrive in chaotic times.

"Does this 'someone' refer to someone in the future?"

Tang Yu never revealed where he came from or how many secrets he knew, but Guo Jia tacitly acknowledged that Tang Yu knew everything.

"No, you are from the same era. You will hear his name in the future, but he is still too young now."

I'm actually more interested in reciting the poems of the "Poet Immortal" (Li Bai); I'm sure you'd enjoy it.

"Alas! How perilous and high! The road to Shu is harder than ascending to the heavens..."

Guo Jia opened his arms after hearing this.

"I still prefer your recitation of the Jade Palace in the heavens, with its twelve towers and five cities. An immortal stroked my head, and I was granted eternal life."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yu immediately took Guo Jia and flew into the clouds.

"The phoenix spreads its wings to carry its banner, soaring high and wide. Ah Yu, have you ever seen a phoenix?"

Tang Yu nodded.

"I've met him, but we don't get along."

These words instantly filled Guo Jia's eyes with a smile.

"Are there really people in this world who don't like Ayu?"

"When interests differ, a woman's beauty, a man's good looks, or immense wealth are all useless."

These words instantly deepened Guo Jia's gaze, and he lowered his head to kiss and whisper.

"So Ayu has also suffered. I thought you had always been so confident and gentle. It must have been a very unpleasant experience."

Tang Yu raised her eyes and smiled lightly, then took out her immortal sword and had the two of them sit in the clouds.

"If I didn't have unwavering beliefs and principles in my heart, and instead indulged in reckless frivolity, I would probably have gone mad."

Fengxiao, you understand, "Whom Heaven wishes to destroy, it first makes mad."

"That person must be good."

Guo Jia suddenly said something that left Tang Yu stunned for a moment.

Who are you talking about?

"The person who makes you trust others again and be gentle and tolerant of the world."

Tang Yu smiled at these words.

"Fengxiao, let's go to the Western Regions next and see what the desert looks like."

Are you changing the subject?

Guo Jia leaned in and kissed him while laughing.

"Do you want to hear it?"

"If you don't want to, then let's go to the Western Regions."

It was another new year, and the two traveled on and off until they finally arrived in the desert.

"A lone plume of smoke rises straight from the desert, the setting sun hangs round over the long river"—I've never forgotten this line of poetry since I first read it.

The wind and sand were blowing everywhere, and Guo Jia felt like he had swallowed a lot of sand.

"Indeed, our Central Plains is a blessed land. Places where crops cannot be grown are simply too barren."

Tang Yu burst into laughter and fell into Guo Jia's arms because of these words.

"Did you know that our descendants went up to the moon and discovered that vegetables can't be grown there? Everyone was so disappointed."

Guo Jia leaned down and gave him a deep kiss with a low laugh.

"Ugh, you're making me eat sand!"

"We are husband and wife, we must share joys and sorrows."

Afterwards, the two went to the grasslands for fun.

At this time, the grasslands were inhabited by barbarians, and Guo Jia sighed after reading it.

"The land in the north is being gradually eroded, and there may be worries in the future."

"Yes, if the people at the bottom are oppressed to the point that they can't survive, many people will flock to the north."

Once the advanced production tools and iron-smelting methods of the Han people spread there, it will be very difficult to wage war.

The nomadic peoples were never as good at fighting as the Central Plains dynasties, but once the lower-class Han people came to join them, bringing their technology and civilization with them, things would become very complicated.

However, this policy of relocating non-Han people to the interior of China began during the reign of Emperor Liu Xiu, and did not start with the Sima family.

However, this problem only came to light centuries later.

Of course, the Sima family also did something foolish: after destroying the Gongsun family, it led to the rise of Goguryeo, which directly threatened the north for many years.

But it doesn't matter, Tang Yu has many ways to change the ending in this lifetime.

Another new year has arrived, and this time Tang Yu took Guo Jia to the seaside for a vacation.

The two boarded a seagoing vessel, this time departing from Liaodong Commandery and heading to Donglai Commandery in Qingzhou.

During this period, seagoing vessels actually developed, with both Gongsun Du and the Sun Wu regime developing maritime transport.

Many people from Qingzhou fled to Liaodong County to escape the war.

Emperor Sun also sent people on an expedition to the sea, and they eventually reached Taiwan.

However, after the two generals returned, most of their men had died on the long voyage, and they were eventually executed by Sun Quan.

On the boundless sea, sunlight shines on the surface, and the shimmering golden light is like tiny diamonds dancing on the water, stretching to the horizon.

Looking into the distance, where the water meets the sky, it seems as if a golden ribbon gently wraps the world, making it impossible to distinguish where the sea ends and the sky begins.

I felt that the boundless blue and the dazzling light merged into one, so vast and magnificent that it could contain all the noise and turmoil of the world.

"Ayu, how about we name our child Hai?"

Guo Jia was a man who lived inland, so he was very excited to see the sea.

"Guo Hai, what an ordinary name."

Tang Yu was full of complaints, but Guo Jia didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

However, since the lady doesn't like it, let's change it.

"What about Guo Ying? Or Guo Xun?"

Tang Yu pulled the person over and started asking questions.

"Tell me the truth, do you want to have children at home?"
