Volume 2 Counting the Edge and Showing the Peak of the Martial Arts Chapter 363
Guo Jia continued: "And a sturdy chariot is composed of all kinds of parts, such as the general and the celebrity, just like the frame and wheels, although the role is important and obvious, but there are still many small parts that can be used to combine the entire carriage, and these small parts are Guo Jia's subordinates. ”
"Hahahaha!"
After listening to Guo Jia's analogy, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, he patted Guo Jia's shoulder, and said with a smile: "What an appropriate analogy, but if you want me to say, a good car and a good horse are not enough, you also need a good driver who drives exquisitely, Fengxiao, that's you!" ”
Receiving Cao Cao's praise, Guo Jia bowed down and said, "Thank you for your appreciation." ”
Cao Cao glanced at Xiahou Lan, and then smiled at Guo Jia: "Then, Fengxiao, tell me quickly, what is the use of this 'small part'?" ”
Xia Houlan was very angry when he heard Cao Cao say that he was a "small part", he wanted to refute Cao Cao, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Cao Cao and him looking at each other, Cao Cao's majestic eyes made Xia Houlan feel awe, and immediately held back what he wanted to say.
At this time, Guo Jia said: "This Xiahoulan is the best at collecting intelligence, I asked him to lurk in Xuzhou City to observe Liu Beijun's movements, and now that he is back, he must have brought a lot of good news." ”
Cao Cao smiled after hearing this, and asked, "How does Feng Xiao know that it's good news and not bad news?" According to my spy, I heard that Liu Bei, his brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei all wanted to take my Cao Mengde's life. ”
It turned out that not only Guo Jia, but also the spies sent by Cao Cao also reported the news of Xuzhou City to him at all times, and they inquired about Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and they were planning to lead the army to pursue Cao's army, so Cao Cao told Guo Jia like this.
When Xia Houlan heard this, she couldn't help but say: "When did this news happen, it has long been worthless!" ”
After Cao Cao heard Xiahou Lan's words, he became interested, so he smiled and said, "Oh? Then I want to hear the news that this little brother is worth a thousand gold? ”
This time Xia Houlan also smiled, but he smiled maliciously.
Xia Houlan smiled evilly: "It's okay to want to know, but you have to buy it with money." ”
Dian Wei was stunned when he heard this, and said loudly: "How can this be true, lord
Ask you a question, you dare to bargain! ”
When Xiahoulan first arrived here, she was given a dismount by Dian Wei, which made the arrogant Xiahoulan have to be restrained.
But when it came to money, Xia Houlan seemed to be a different person, and he became unyielding, even if the people facing him were Cao Cao and Dian Wei, he had no intention of backing down at all.
I saw Xia Houlan arguing: "Why can't you bargain? I risked my life to find out all this news, so it's not too much to take a little hard-earned money, right? ”
At this time, Guo Jia smiled and said: "Of course it's not too much, it's completely reasonable for the Xiahoulan brothers to want to take the money!" ”
Hearing Guo Jia say that, Dian Wei was very surprised, but Xia Houlan was very satisfied, he looked at everyone proudly, quite a villain.
But Xia Houlan didn't feel proud for long, but Guo Jia said: "However, in the same way, the news that I, Guo Fengxiao, gave to Your Excellency, I also want to collect money." ”
When Xia Houlan heard this, his face changed instantly, and he pretended to be calm and said, "You, what did you say?" I had absolutely no idea! ”
Seeing Xia Houlan cheating, Guo Jia didn't mind, but smiled and didn't speak.
At this moment, a voice like a silver bell rang and said, "Is it? Then I'll take the money! ”
When Xia Houlan heard this voice, she was as frightened as if she had encountered a mandrill ghost.
He subconsciously touched his bag, but as soon as he touched it, his heart was like falling into an ice cave, extremely cold.
At this time, a person wearing a fox mask appeared from behind Guo Jia, she was petite and had a sweet and lovely voice, but for some reason, Xia Houlan saw this person, but she hated and feared it.
I saw Xia Houlan gritting her teeth and shouting: "Stinky fox, return my money quickly!" ”
The man in the fox mask pretended not to know and said, "What are you talking about? I don't know! ”
The man in the fox mask said as he held a bulging bag of money and tossed it around in his hand.
Xia Houlan saw that the man was obviously holding his money bag, but he pretended not to know, and he also learned what he said, so angry that he was red-faced, and he couldn't wait to scold.
But after all, he is a thief with a weak heart and a ghost in his heart, even if he suffers a loss and is teased, he does not dare to reason with others, because he is afraid that once he argues, his secret will be exposed, which will only make him lose more.
Seeing that Xiahou Lan forcibly held back his anger and swallowed back the swear words that came to his mouth, the person wearing the fox mask took off the mask in surprise, and suddenly revealed a delicate and pink face like an ice carving.
This girl is Xiao Yuan, she, like Xia Houlan, is a member of Black Hundred Tongues, the girl who pretended to be a folk girl last time, lurked in the folk house, and led the way for Zhang Fei is her.
Although Xiao Yuan and Xia Houlan are both members of Black Hundred Tongues, they have no friendship with each other, on the contrary, because of Xiao Yuan's quirky personality and her unpredictable behavior, Xia Houlan often has a headache, so when Xia Houlan saw this innocent and beautiful girl on the outside, she panicked in her heart and just wanted to stay away.
Now that his money bag has somehow fallen into Xiao Yuan's hands, he can only stare dryly.
It turned out that this was a little trick that Guo Jia instructed Dian Wei and Xiao Yuan to play.
Guo Jia knew that this money-greedy subordinate would not hand over the information easily, so he resorted to a little trick.
As soon as Xiahou Lan appeared, Xiao Yuan, who was hidden in the Tiger Ben Army, stole the money bag from Xia Houlan's body in a ghostly way, and then hung the fake bag containing sundries on Dian Wei's halberd and inserted it on the ground.
In fact, Dian Wei didn't throw out the halberd at all, he just pretended to scare Xiahoulan.
And Xia Houlan, who had seen Dian Wei's skills, had long been in awe of this powerful man, and when the halberd with a fake money bag appeared in front of Xia Houlan, he didn't think about it, so he believed it.
And in a panic, he didn't carefully identify whether the money bag on the halberd was his own, so he subconsciously checked the money bag on his body, and when he found that his money bag was really gone, he naturally thought that the money bag hanging on the halberd was his own.
In fact, the difference between that fake money bag and his real money bag is not small, but the color is the same, but Guo Jia grasped Xia Houlan's psychology and made him logically think that the fake money bag was on him.
