"My lord, there is a person who calls himself Jia Xu outside the palace who asks to see him!"

"Jia Xu? Who? At this time, Xiang Ao was anxious about the situation in the government because of the situation in the DPRK and China, and he wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but Xiang Ping, who had never thought about it, spoke up.

Xiang Ping was staying by Cai Yan's side at this time, but Cai Yan was happy again, Xiang Ao was worried that Xiang Ping would disturb Cai Yan's rest, so he ordered Xiang Ping to follow him. Anyway, Xiang Ping was also extremely obedient, and when Xiang Ao was deliberating, Xiang Ping rushed to sit quietly next to him to learn knowledge.

"Daddy, can you take Ping'er out for a walk? Ping'er has been sitting for two hours, boring and tight! ”

Xiang Ao heard this, thinking about it, thinking about it for two hours to no avail, it is better to go out and take a walk, maybe the mind can open up a lot.

"Then Daddy will wait for Ping'er to go out for a walk!" Xiang Ao hugged Xiang Ping and said. Anyway, if you want to go out and walk around, it doesn't hurt to meet this person. Then he said to Dian Wei: "Take this person to the guest room, and I will say later." ”

"No!" Dian Wei took the order and left.

"Ping'er, is it okay to go with your father to meet outsiders?"

"Okay! As long as you don't read anymore, it's easy! Xiang Ping responded with an indifferent face, but there was a slight cunning in the corners of his eyes. When Xiang Ao heard this, he hugged Xiang Ping and walked towards the guest room, and Jiao Meng also followed.

After a few moments, the room of the Gohara General's Mansion.

"Xiaguan Jia Xu has seen Champion Hou!" Waiting for Xiang Ao to enter the guest room, Jia Xu, who was waiting, got up and bowed to Xiang Ao.

Lower officials? Xiang Ao was puzzled, he had never seen this person.

"Where does Mr. Jia work? Ben Hou doesn't seem to have seen Mr. Jia! ”

"Forgive your absence." Jia Xu's face was indifferent, and he said with a chuckle: "Xia Guan is a clerical official under Dong Zhuo's account in Xiliang." ”

"Dong Zhuo?" Xiang Ao's face was dark, and he kept thinking in his heart: Dong Zhuo is a subordinate official, what did you do to find me all the way?

"Yes, too!" Jia Xu didn't seem to intend to let Xiang Ao have more time to think about it: "Xu didn't have any other intention to come here, he just wanted to seek an official position in the Northern Regions and serve the champion Hou!" ”

"Huh?!" When Xiang Ao heard this, he said even more strangely: "General Dong is in full swing, and he will become an important minister in the DPRK and the central government in a short time, and his future is unlimited!" What does Mr. Jia mean by going to the Northern Regions to seek an official at this time? ”

"I wonder what you think of today?" Seeing Jia Xu asking, Xiang Ao was a little disdainful in his heart and secretly asked: Heh! Do you have to pay attention to the candidate?

"How can the world have its own court officials, this is just to supervise the Northern Regions for Your Majesty!" Xiang Ao did not answer, and excused himself.

When Jia Xu heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that he is still too famous. Xiang Ao came to the main seat and knelt down, motioned for Jia Xu to sit with him, and ordered Jiao Meng to send someone to serve some tea.

After Jia Xu bowed and thanked him, and sat upright, Jia Xu continued: "Then Xu will have the courage to show off a little in front of the king. Nowadays, in the Han Dynasty, eunuchs and relatives have power, and the family annexes land for the interests of the family, so that the people of the world are not able to make a living, and it is common to change children and eat. Jia Xu said, stared at Xiang Ao slightly, and found that Xiang Ao's face had not changed much and continued.

"Xu is not only Dong Zhuo's subordinate, but also knows a little thing. A few days ago, his cousin He Jin sent someone to contact Dong Zhuo! ”

And so it was! When Xiang Ao heard this, he was slightly shocked in his heart, and his face changed a little. Seeing this, Jia Xu's heart finally settled down a little.

"I heard in the next that He Jin united with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and many other famous ministers of the court, and wanted to punish the eunuchs! is planning to prepare for Dong Zhuo to enter Beijing! ”

Hearing this, Xiang Ao's brows furrowed deeper and asked, "Your Majesty is still here, how can such people be so bold?" ”

"You may not know that Your Majesty is critically ill, and the rumors will not last until April!"

"Huh!?" When Xiang Ao heard this, his eyes widened, and his voice trembled slightly: "Reliable information?!" ”

"Nine times out of ten!"

Jia Xu stopped, waited for Xiang Ao to digest the news.

"Whew..."Xiang Ao exhaled deeply and said, "Even so, what does it have to do with Mr. Jia's search for the original candidate?" ”

Seeing this, the stone in Jia Xu's heart finally fell to the ground, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned: "Without him, one: seek self-preservation; Two: After surviving, show your talent! ”

Show talent, Xiang Ao understands that most people are pedantic. "Self-preservation? Mr. Jia laughed. If Mr. Jia follows Dong Zhuo, he will definitely be able to rise one day, and the glory of his ancestors is! ”

In fact, Xiang Ao was a little jealous in his heart, this person knew so well that he came to the Northern Regions to express his selfishness, I am afraid that he was not a simple scribe, and his belly was also extraordinary.

"Dong Zhuo is a stubborn person, although he has some talent, but if he gains power in the future, he will definitely be the next Dou Wu, and he will have power in the court, and he will not die well!" Jia Xu sighed slightly: "I regret my life, I don't want to follow Dong Zhuo, and I will lose my life in vain!" ”

"Huh! My northern region is not greedy for life and afraid of death! Xiang Ao saw that the other party was so outspoken, and he no longer seemed to be circulating, and planned to reject Jia Xu.

"Misunderstanding!" Jia Xuzuo smiled and said: "People are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hongmao!" I just want to be valuable, even if I die, it has to be extraordinary! ”

When Xiang Ao heard this, he stared at Jia Xu with both eyes, hoping to know Jia Xu's inner thoughts from his eyes. However, after a long time, Jia Xu's eyes were clear, his face was calm, and nothing else. Since this is the case, Xiang Ao is not a person who is not allowed to be tolerated, so he plans to start studying Jia Xu.

"What is Mr. Jia's ambition in life?"

When Jia Xu heard this, his face was overjoyed, since Xiang Ao asked like this, he must have begun to consider whether to leave Jia Xu behind. Jia Xu bowed and said: "Xu has studied with famous teachers since he was a child, likes to be a gentleman, and is kind to people. Since completing his studies, Xu has planned to enter the court as an official and be loyal to the court. However, even if he has been filial piety, he is not enough, and it is difficult to display his talents. ”

"If you look at it, I am willing to do everything I can to make suggestions for you."

"Has Mr. Jia visited all parts of the Northern Regions?"

"I've heard a little about it, but I haven't had time to investigate!" When Jia Xu heard this, he was stunned in his heart: Oops, too impatient, I haven't learned about the Northern Regions in detail, how to convince the monarch?

"In that case, if it is convenient for Mr. Jia, can we talk about this matter after visiting for two days accompanied by my personal guard?"

Call... Fortunately, the champion Hou is not too decisive, Jia Xu sighed in his heart, and said with his hands: "In this way, it will trouble you!" After that, Jia Xu turned to Jiao Meng and saluted again. Jiao Meng also returned the salute politely and asked Jia Xu to follow.

Xiang Ao looked at Jia Xu's departing back, and shouted hesitantly in his heart: "Awei, quickly order someone to invite the imperial envoy doctor and the left and right officials to come!" ”

"No!" Dian Wei received the order, strode the meteor, and left with a bang. Seeing this, Xiang Ao was speechless, and he was even more distressed about the stone slab outside the house.

"My lord, this person has heard of it!"

"Oh?!" Xiang Ao felt a little strange in his heart, Xi Zhong was a person from Yingchuan, and he Guan followed Xiang Ao in the Northern Region soon, when did he see this person?

"This person is talented, but he has a name that is not too elegant! Said: Poisoner! While Xi Zhong praised Jia Xu, his face was also a little jealous.

"Poisoner?" Xiang Ao was slightly puzzled when he heard this.

"This person knows astronomy, knows geography, and has a deep study of the way of the human heart. Between the talks, you can see what kind of character the other party is, and how much mentality you have! Really! Xi Zhong said carefully: "But this person's tactics are extremely cruel, especially in military strategy, for the sake of victory, he regards human life as nothing!" ”

Xiang Ao frowned deeply when he heard this. It's not unacceptable for Xiang Ao to be ruthless in his strategy, but if it's really as Xi Zhong said, he treats human life as nothing, I'm afraid the Northern Regions will not tolerate it.

"Then I'm going to give up on this person?" Xiang Ao is still a little reluctant, if it is really as Xi Zhong said, this person should be a great talent, and it is estimated that there are few in the world.

"You have a word!" Xu Shu said indifferently: "Everything in the world has advantages and disadvantages, such as a sword, you can kill and hurt yourself; Such as martial arts, can kill, can save people. It's just the person who uses it! ”

When Xiang Ao heard this, he suddenly became enlightened, and Xi Zhong also lowered his head beside him, if he was thoughtful. However, Hu Zhao woke up and bowed to Xu Shu as soon as possible: "Thank you for mentioning it directly!" "In the past, Hu Zhao was the most reluctant to use troops and poison the people. But what Xu Shu said today made some of the truths that Hu Zhao was obsessed with begin to loosen.

"In this way, let's see it tomorrow when Jia Xu comes back from his visit!" Xiang Ao had already made some decisions in his heart, and said with a chuckle.

Two days later, Jia Xu returned to the Wuyuan General's Mansion.

"The talent of the gentleman, admire!" Seeing Xiang Ao, Jia Xu bowed and said. Jia Xu had to be convinced, he never thought that there would be such a paradise today. Not only the Han people, but also the Han people, the Qiang people, the Xianbei people, the Xiongnu and other ethnic groups lived together peacefully, and it was common for them to help each other. From the Five Plains Daoshuo Fang, Jia Xu did not even see a single case of inter-ethnic disputes. What's even more peculiar is that no matter what ethnic group the people are, they all call themselves people from the Northern Regions, even the Han people.

When Xiang Ao heard this, he smiled silently, and just motioned for Jia Xu to sit down. and introduced Jia Xu and Hu Zhao to each other. Everyone also saw the salute one by one, and at the same time knew Jia Xu's words: Wenhe.

"Mr. Wenhe has gained something in the past two days?"

"Benefited a lot!"

"Is there anything to teach?"

Hearing this, Jia Xu raised his head, stared at Xiang Ao, and said in a deep voice: "Have you ever considered how the family in the world will view you?" ”

"This is the interest of the family, what does Mr. Wenhe think will happen to the family in the world?" Xiang Ao was not too afraid, and asked Jia Xu very calmly.

When Jia Xu heard this, he was dumbfounded, since Xiang Ao knew the consequences, why did he insist on going his own way? Why are you still so indifferent?

After a long time, Jia Xu came back to his senses. The heart couldn't calm down for a long time, and the gaze that looked at Xiang Ao began to become hesitant, and he was no longer sure whether Xiang Ao would be able to save himself. Xiang Ao did not urge, tasting the good Mao Feng purchased from the south, and was extremely indifferent. And Hu Zhao and the three of them, who followed Xiang Ao this time, also looked at Jia Xu with a shallow smile, and for some reason they still felt a little self-sufficient in their hearts.

Jia Xu turned his head to look at Hu Zhao and Xi Zhong, and was puzzled. Although Jia Xu has been in Xiliang all the year round, the fame of Hu Zhao and Xi Zhong has long spread to major families, and Jia Xu must also know it. If it weren't for Xiang Ao's request for credit for everyone this time, none of the family members knew that Hu Zhao, Xi Zhong and other hermits had already joined Xiang Ao.

"I never thought that Brother Zhicai and Brother Kong Ming had already worshiped the Lord!" Jia Xu smiled bitterly, although no one showed it, but with Jia Xu's ability, he could see the clues. Xiang Ao's eyes lit up even more when he heard this, except that he had just introduced each other, so that he was sure that the three of them had worshiped the Lord!
