Guo Jia turned his head to look at the generals in the hall who were pushing cups and changing lamps, and shouted back and forth, thought for a moment, and said, "Since it was invited by Brother Wen Ruo, then why don't I go with you?" ”

Xun Yu tightened his cheeks, turned around and walked out of the hall.

And Guo Jia is also close behind.

Although the movements of the two of them were secretive, they both fell into the eyes of the potter.

The potter watched the two go out, muttering for a long time, and was speechless for a long time.

The two came to a quiet garden in the mansion, Xun Yu stood still, turned his head and looked at Guo Jia coldly.

Guo Jia didn't seem to see Xun Yu's face, and said with a smile: "Brother Wen Ruo, I haven't seen you for many years, from now on, you and I will be the ministers of the same hall, Guo is deeply comforted in his heart, after so many years, I can finally say goodbye to these old friends in Yingchuan, everyone will help the Lord Ming, it's really happy!" ”

Obviously, Guo Jia was very happy, but Xun Yu was not as excited as them.

"Guo Fengxiao, you won, you are really powerful, we are old friends of Yingchuan Yangzhai, each of us supports the Cao family, only you, specifically followed the Xuzhou Tao who no one is optimistic about, and as a result, you have proved that among the friends of Yingchuan, everyone's vision is not as good as you! Whether? ”

Xun Yu's words sounded like admiring Guo Jia, but it was obvious that his tone was a little wrong.

His tone was obviously unwilling.

Guo Jiachang sighed and said: "Brother Wen Ruo, look at what you said, think about it carefully, in fact, it is also a coincidence, I think that Guo was unwilling under Yuan Shao, but he had returned to Yingchuan and talked to your old friends about the big thing of investing in the master, after all, the talents and learning of Yingchuan friends are unmatched in the world, and if Guo is fortunate enough to be able to find a friend with you to assist, it is really a blessing." ”

Xun Yu said lightly: "That's what you said, but you didn't do it!" At the beginning, Xun chose Cao Gong and guided you to Cao's family, and also wrote a letter to you Guo Fengxiao, but you turned a blind eye and decided to be enemies with your old friends. ”

Guo Jia shook his head vigorously and said: "Brother Wen Ruo, you just misunderstood me, Guo Mouyan can do this villain's thing, I didn't have any intention of going to Xuzhou back then, but I just ...... Just ......"

Xun Yu frowned and said, "Just what?" ”

"It's just that I was forcibly tied up by that Tao Xiang."

After saying a few words, the whole courtyard was silent, and the fallen leaves could be heard.

"Alas, Guo Fengxiao, if you don't want to tell me the truth, you don't need to say it, why lie to me with these words here? Are you a three-year-old child? ”

Guo Jia stomped his feet angrily: "What did I lie to you!" ”

At this time, I heard a voice from behind Xun Yu: "What he said is right, in fact, I tied him to Xuzhou at the beginning." ”

Xun Yu was startled, he almost didn't jump up, he hurriedly turned around, but saw the potter standing behind him with a smile.

"You, you...... Why are you here? Xun Yu stammered and pointed to Tao Shangdao.

Is there no sound in this man's aisle? It's a mouse!

Looking at Xun Yu's nervous expression, the potter smiled: "Don't be nervous, I didn't say what I did to you, I heard what you just said, and there are some things that I can't do if I don't stand up and clarify." ”

After a pause, he listened to Tao Shangdao: "Guo Fengxiao is right, in fact, when he came to Xuzhou, to a certain extent, he was not voluntary, but was taken away by me by some coercive means." ”

Xun Yu frowned and said, "If he is forcibly taken away by you, how can he stay under your tent with peace of mind?" ”

The potter said lightly: "Maybe it's because of the same smell...... Are these things important to Wen Ruogong? ”

Xun Yu was stunned when he heard this.

In fact, the potter could see that the reason why Xun Yu came to talk to Guo Jia was somewhat because he was a little unwilling, and perhaps his self-esteem was hurt.

Among the Yingchuan scholars, the Xun family is the leader, and among the students of Yingchuan, Xun Yu is also the first, and for so many years, Xun Yu's potential consciousness has always had a sense of superiority in this regard.

But now, because of Guo Jia's success under his command, it seems that Xun Yu's self-confidence in this regard has been shattered, and it should make him very painful to think about it.

This is not a cautious eye, but a psychological gap caused by inertia after it is broken.

Maybe Xun Yu didn't figure it out himself, and he felt uncomfortable in such a place.

The potter can understand Xun Yu, but he can't help him, if he breaks the matter, it may hurt a person's self-esteem even more.

Looking at Xun Yu's depressed appearance, the potter patted him on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Wenruo, are you trying to figure out why you want Guo Fengxiao to come out and say this?" ”

Xun Yu's face was depressed.

"It doesn't matter if you can't figure it out, in life, there aren't so many things that need to be figured out, the two of you are here, then you will win the battle, in this way, maybe the depression in my heart will dissipate."

"A battle to win?" Xun Yu looked at the potter in surprise: "What do you mean?" ”

"On weekdays, you are all wise men, and you compare strategies on the battlefield, but today I allow you to compete with each other." The potter said with a smile: "Among the six arts of the gentleman, there is also the way of riding and archery, Mr. Wen Ruo shouldn't even forget how to fight, right?" ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he was anxious: "Tao Zidu, what kind of trick are you doing here?" ”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Xun Yu greet him with an old fist in front of him.

"Oops~~! Xun Wenruo, you really do it! …… I'm fighting with you! ”

……

After about two incense sticks, Xun Yu sat down on the steps panting, panting heavily.

His hair was disheveled, his cheeks were scarred, and there were two "two" blood stains under his nostrils.

Guo Jia was opposite him, rubbing his blue and black circles, making a "hiss~~" sound.

The potter walked over, sat beside Xun Yu, and said in a low voice, "Do you feel better?" ”

Xun Yu raised his hand and wiped the two strips on his nose, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, which could not be described in words.

But the pressure, depression, and burden in my heart seem to have disappeared with the earth-shattering battle just now.

"Mr. Wenruo, the war in the Central Plains has just subsided, and a lot of talents are needed to govern, and I will transfer a group of officials from Yangzhou to the Central Plains to practice the experience of developing Jinling City in the field, but in this way, Yangzhou also needs to supplement more talents, so I need you to help me introduce talents from Yingchuan to Yangzhou to engage in politics."

Xun Yu let out a long sigh and said, "The matter has come to this, Xun will naturally not have his heart anymore, and he should do his best to serve the imperial court...... However, Xun Yu still has one more thing that he wants to bother the prime minister. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Xun is willing to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, but he doesn't want to turn his back on Cao Gong, after the world is settled, Xun wants to return to the mountains and forests, and does not want to stand on the court, so I implore the prime minister for permission."
