The red lantern is shaking.

Outside the post house, a wave of wolf riders with bows surrounded this side, dozens of guards from Wancheng did not even dare to hold the hilt of the knife, looking at the figure striding out from the inside, no one dared to take a step forward, after people passed in front of them, the people with bows gradually gathered in formation with Gongsun Zhi's back, and stepped out of here, at this time these guards rushed anxiously into the post house.

The night wind blows the human body and walks.

Dian Wei brought the Jueying over, Gongsun Zhi turned over directly, looked at the other side, Cao Cao mixed in the crowd, nodded at him, rode on the horse and slowly raised his hand and arched, and then waved his hand to the surrounding soldiers: "Collect the troops and go back!" Everyone looked at the inn over there, began to put away their weapons, and turned around to leave.

Until this moment, the matter came to an end, and many people were still relieved, if their own governor killed someone, the consequences would be unpredictable. Gongsun Zhi pinched the reins, stroked the mane of the war horse, and was about to leave, but Dian Wei, who was holding the reins for him, said: "Lord, why don't you let Han Long sneak back quietly and give that person a knife." ”

After pulling the reins, Gongsun Zhi lowered his head and glanced at him: "I promised Cao Cao not to kill, I can't refute other people's face, and then I will have a hard time with him, let's go, Xu Du's things are almost done, it's time to go back." ”

In the team, Pan Feng carried a giant axe and stopped talking, looked back at the post house over there, after all, he couldn't help but didn't speak, hundreds of horses left here quickly, returned to the residence, the wolf rode under their respective leaders and dispersed back to the house to rest, but Pan Feng, Dian Wei, and Li Ke followed, Pan Feng crossed the threshold to catch up, and said in a low voice: "Lord, what is that Jia Xu, can you do such a thing, why do you still let him live, what if you secretly do something bad for us in the future?" It's just like what the old dian said, let Brother Han sneak back, understand that guy, and by the way, do Zhang Xiu too, even if Cao Cao's guy gets angry, Mu will be in the boat. ”

took off his hair crown and handed it to Li Ke, Gongsun Zhi poured a glass of water and poured it down: "If that person goes out, he won't keep hiding his head and tail, if Jia Wenhe is really willing to cut his body, then he must be an impostor." ”

"The chief seems to know him well." Li Ke put the martial artist crown away.

Gongsun Zhi laughed and beckoned them to find a place to sit down, "What kind of character a person has, you can see from what he does, heroic and ambitious people, just like Cao Cao, can afford to take it and put it down; Like Jia Xu, from Chang'an to Wancheng, he has always hidden his head and tail, and he didn't dare to show his head, because he was worried that the blade would fall on his neck one day, and he had the courage to bring disaster to the world, but he didn't have the pride to break the kettle, and he didn't have the temperament to repay flaws. ”

"Seriously, this man is qualified to be a man of advice, but he is given the burden of abiding by the party." After everyone sat down, Gongsun Zhi added water, took another sip, and said with a smile: "What's more, if you really kill Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu in the city, you can't explain to Cao Cao, and in anger, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not hold us all hostage, I can't touch this bottom line, and you can't touch it." ”

In fact, there are some things that Gongsun Zhi did not tell them, what kind of person Jia Xu is, what kind of past and future he has, he knows better than countless people, but if he says these words word by word, it will be too terrifying, and it will not attract worship, but a terrifying illusion of seeing through a person's fate, but will cause estrangement between him and everyone.

You're just going to be treated as an outlier.

“…… It's just a pity, Ziyu. Pan Feng sat cross-legged under the wall with the handle of the axe, "If he doesn't go back to the Central Plains, he will still be riding the north with us, so happy...... Alas...... There's no way to avenge it now. ”

At this point, there was no intention to continue, Dian Wei threw the halberd aside, drank a bowl of wine, clenched his fists and raised: "Lord, then what should we do next?" ”

"There's no need to stay." Gongsun Zhi thought about it, got up and walked to the window, the starry night was dense and shining, "A few days ago, I received news from Shangdang County that Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses have been withdrawn, although they still control a few passes, but the mountain road is still quite smooth, and Zhao Yun from Liaodong at the beginning of the year directly with the help of Tian Yu, directly into Jizhou, attacked Yecheng, and now the situation is gradually extinguished, we should also join them and return to the north." ”

"Zhao Yun is in the limelight this time." The big-shouldered and round-waisted figure smashed his fist excitedly, "....... Yuan Ben should have been angry at the beginning, Yu Poison besieged Yecheng twice, and now Zhao Yun is here again, I'm afraid that I will have to move the governance office if I can't get it. ”

Inside, everyone burst into laughter.

In Caofu, the banquet has dispersed, and the bright lights have not yet been removed.

With a bang, the first figure casually threw the empty wine jug onto the table with the accumulated scraps, beckoned to the side, and a drunken voice sounded: "Bring another pot of wine." ”

There was a maid to serve the soup wine jug, there were not many people around to see Cao Cao so drunk, only Guo Jia, Xun Yu and a few other strategists were still in the seats on both sides, everyone looked at each other, I don't know why Cao Cao drank like this, at this time, Guo Jia stepped forward to take the wine jug in the maid's hand, waved her sleeves to let her retreat.

"My lord, today I can probably see that the white wolf is not willing to be subordinate." He filled the cup with a smile on his face, "....... Even though he made friends and gave honors, he still couldn't keep it, so the lord was bored in his heart? ”

"How about keeping him forcibly?" Cao Cao picked up the wine cup and raised it in the air, his drunken eyes narrowed.

Guo Jia smiled and saluted Cao Cao with a drink, raised his head and drank it all: "The wolf is always a wolf, and the only one who stays is the dog, and he can't be tied here, although Jia has not had much contact with the Gongsun Dudu, but he also knows that if the lord leaves him behind, it will definitely be a disaster." ”

He ...... No threat from others. ”

Putting down the wine cup, Cao Cao also understood in his heart, and nodded: "....... If I do this, he will only be killed in Xudu, and his wife and children in the north and a number of subordinates will take refuge in Yuan Shao, in this way, the gains really outweigh the losses, and it will also attract infamy, Feng Xiao is talking about this, right? ”

The young scribe on the opposite side nodded.

The night wind whimpered, swaying the flames on the lampposts, the hall was silent for a moment, Cao Cao closed his eyes for a while, opened his eyes, got up and walked through the middle with his hands, and stood at the door, festive lanterns hung all over the courtyard, filled with the excitement that had been here.

"Then let him go......"

Cao Cao, who was standing at the door, turned his head, a smile on his face, and whispered to everyone. Because he knows that after Yuan Shao is removed, it will be a friendship between the two, and there may not be much...... is also because I can see clearly, so there is also the sadness of loneliness.

In the middle of the night, the wind stopped, and the time passed by day and night, and the eastern sky was white, and soon after, when it was about to be lightened, the departing procession stood at the gate of the city, looking back at the streets, pedestrians, and towers of the city.

Gongsun stopped bowing his hand, put it down, pulled the reins, and rode up: "Let's go home-"
