Gu Yong had been to Chang'an when he was on a study tour, but the Chang'an City he saw today was very different from the Chang'an City in his impression, so that Gu Yong was almost sure that he had arrived in Chang'an when he saw it for the first time. The majestic city walls, spacious streets, and busy scenes show the prosperity of Chang'an as the capital of the Han Dynasty.

Gu Yong secretly compared in his heart, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, the Moling in Jiangdong was almost gone. There is no comparison between the two at all. The first thing Sun Quan did after taking the throne was to announce the construction of a city in Moling, the nominal reason was to better guard against the imperial army and ensure the safety of Jiangdong, but as an insider, Gu Yong knew that Sun Quan wanted to build a city in Moling There was only one reason, that is, Xiangshi Yu Ji told Sun Quan that Moling had dragon energy.

If Sun Quan really has a chance to ascend the throne and sit in the palace, then the Gu family who supports Sun Quan will also benefit from it. Just looking at Chang'an City in front of him, Gu Yong couldn't help but start worrying that the Gu family and Sun Quan were getting a little too close. Along the way, Gu Yong clearly realized that the people of the Han Dynasty at this time were not tired of war, on the contrary, due to the proper governance of the imperial court over the years, many people regarded joining the army as an opportunity to change their fate.

Jiangdong has the Yangtze River natural danger, and there is the world's largest elite naval army, but the imperial court's naval army is behind, even if the experience is slightly inferior, from the perspective of personnel quality and equipment, sooner or later it will catch up. And what made Gu Yong even more worried was that Sun Quan declared Zhou Yu a traitor to Jiangdong for his own selfishness. Regardless of the truth or falsity of this matter, Zhou Yu can be said to know the inside story of the Jiangdong Navy very well, and now that Zhou Yu has returned to the imperial court, it means that the shortcomings of the Jiangdong Navy are also known to the imperial court, and I hope that the new Governor of the Navy Lu Meng can realize this and make timely adjustments, otherwise once the war starts in the future, the Jiangdong Navy will lose half of it before the war.

"Master, where are we going first?" The entourage's instructions interrupted Gu Yong's contemplation.

Gu Yong thought for a moment and ordered: "Go to the post official to report first, and then prepare a gift and follow me to meet the teacher." Remember, gifts don't have to be respectful, but they do have to be tasteful. ”

"Yes, sir, the little one understands."

It is definitely necessary to report to the post officer, as an envoy from Jiangdong, if you come to Chang'an and do not notify the court, the court will not be responsible for what happens. For the sake of safety, Gu Yong went to the post official to report as soon as possible. After deciding on his residence, while the court had not yet decided when to summon him, Gu Yong went to Cai's mansion with gifts.

Cai Yong is living a very leisurely life now, like most of the old ministers in the court, hanging an idle job and eating the court's money, doing what he is interested in. Cai Yong is a good book, and he loves those unique books that have been handed down from generation to generation, especially after he learned that there are many unique books in this world that were taken underground as burial objects when he chatted with Liu Xie, the heart of tomb robbing has been stirring. Of course, the reputation of tomb robbery is not good, and Cai Yong can't dig people's ancestral graves in order to find ancient books, but in order to rescue those ancient classics, Cai Yong set his sights on the antiquities market.

If you want to count the time of the appearance of tomb robbing, it can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the earliest tomb robber was a slave whose name is no longer known. As the burial of the tomb owner, he was buried alive in the underground palace, but he later escaped, and in the process of escaping, he also took out a few funeral goods, which is the ancestor of the tomb robbery.

Antiques are valuable if someone wants them, but if no one wants them, they are worthless. Cai Yong wanted to buy ancient classics, but he just let people go out, and someone immediately sent the real thing to the door. Cai Yong was overjoyed and rewarded those people, but Liu Xie immediately stopped Cai Yong when he found out.

It's not like that, spend that unjust money!

With a holy decree, Cai Yong had the title of leader of the Han archaeological team. Don't you want to dig up tombs and search for ancient books? No problem, give you the permission of the state, but there are also conditions, the tombs of the Han Dynasty are not allowed to be moved, and the tombs of the owners are not allowed to be moved, and everything obtained from digging the tombs must be returned to the public. An ancient copy of an ancient book found may be copied and preserved, but it must also be returned to the public.

Cai Yong didn't plan to make a fortune by digging graves, what he asked for was ancient classics, and he agreed to Liu Xie's conditions. And Liu Xie also specially set up the posts of General Faqiu and Captain of Mojin for this purpose, recruited capable people from the people, and waited for Cai Yong's dispatch.

Gu Yong came in a hurry, and Cai Yong had just returned from the field a few days ago. I am sorting out this harvest at home. Hearing that Gu Yong was coming to visit, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to lead Gu Yong into the flower hall to wait for tea.

"Father, when you go to see Gu Yong this time, you'd better be cautious in your words and deeds." Cai Yan reminded while helping his father sort out the bookcase.

"Akihime, what do you mean by that?" Cai Yong asked.

"Father, Gu Yong came to Chang'an this time, his identity is a Jiangdong envoy, he came to visit his father at this time, the purpose is probably not pure, my father is now far away from the court, and he does not understand the thoughts of the saint today, if he says the wrong thing, it is easy to disrupt the original plan of the saint."

"Then how does Zhao Ji think that his father dares to entertain Gu Yong?"

"Don't talk about state affairs, just personal friendship."

"Alas~ It's a pity that Zhao Ji is a daughter, if you are a man, even in the court, there will be a place for you." Cai Yong said with some regret.

“…… Fathers, daughters are not in a hurry. ”

"But for my father, you are in your thirties...... Hey~ Don't go, why do you run away as soon as your father says this? Cai Yong shouted depressedly at Cai Yan, who turned his head and left. It's just that Cai Yan didn't look back and left.

Looking at his daughter's back, Cai Yong couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. I only regret that I was too good to Cai Yan at the beginning, and I didn't establish my authority as a father, compared to the second daughter who has been married for many years, this eldest daughter is too disobedient. It's not that she hasn't introduced young Junjie to her over the years, but Cai Yan hasn't looked down on any of them, so that she is still single.

Cai Yong can afford to raise this daughter, but he doesn't want this daughter to be lonely for a lifetime, but Cai Yan doesn't want to remarry, and he can't force it, if it's really urgent, Cai Yan will run away from home and go to live with his friend Zhen Mi for ten days and a half months, and Cai Yong has no objections.

Seeing that he was making his daughter unhappy again, according to past experience, this would be another few days of cold war, and Cai Yong was about to get used to it. But thinking about Gu Yong, who should have been waiting for tea in the flower hall, Cai Yong simply cleaned up and went to the flower hall first.

"Teacher, I haven't seen you for many years, but it's always good?" When Gu Yong saw Cai Yong, he hurriedly paid a salute. Cai Yong smiled, stretched out his hand to help Gu Yong up, and said, "Yuan sigh doesn't need to be polite, please get up quickly." Today, you and I are reunited, and we are fortunate to be reunited. The housekeeper, ordered to go down, set up a banquet, and a certain person should be entertained by Yuan sigh. ”

"Yes." The butler answered.

Gu Yong hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for your hospitality." After speaking, Gu Yong took out the gift he brought, offered it with both hands, and said: "Gu Yong knows that his teacher doesn't love gold and silver, so he chose a fairly elegant gift and asked his teacher to accept it." ”

"Okay, Yuan sigh has a heart." Cai Yong accepted Gu Yong's gift with a smile.

The master and apprentice reunited, Cai Yong had his daughter Cai Yan's previous reminder, so he and Gu Yong just reminisced about the past, recalled the past, and never mentioned their views on the current situation in the world, and Gu Yong also saw Cai Yong's attitude, and did not mention that kind of topic again. The master and apprentice mentioned Guo Jia as they spoke, and this little junior disciple who was in the same door as Gu Yong.

……

"No, no, absolutely not." In the Qianjin Yixiao Building, the largest Fengyue place in Chang'an, Liu Xie shook his head like a rattle, while Guo Jia, who was sitting opposite him, widened his eyes and asked with a dissatisfied expression: "Why not?" I've promised to submit to you, won't you even help you with this little favor? ”

"It's not that I don't want to help, it's that I don't dare to help. Your family's surge is too violent, I don't dare to take the edge even today. Besides, you want to marry Sister Cai, so how do you plan to arrange Sister Cai? Ready to divorce your wife? Or let Sister Cai be a concubine? ”

"Divorce your wife? If I dare to say this, will I still see the sun the next day? ”

"Then you are planning to make Sister Cai a concubine? Then I dare to assure you, if you go to Cai's house, don't think about coming out again, Cai Shi can bury you alive in your backyard to make flower fertilizer. ”

"So that's not what you need."

"No, no, no, if I make this order, Master Cai should come to me with a knife to talk to me." Liu Xie shook his head like a rattle.

"Listen to me, I don't want Sister Nacai to be a concubine."

“…… So what are you going to do? Seeing Guo Jia say this, Liu Xie couldn't help but ask in wonder. is neither a divorce nor a concubine, is it possible to be a flat wife? But even if she is a flat wife, with Cai Yong's violent temper, it is no different from taking a concubine. Although Cai Yan has been married once, her family background and her own talents, if she marries, she must be a wife, and Guo Jia is now married to a wife, I really don't understand why he is delusional.

Guo Jia is merry and uninhibited, and he is the only one in the Manchu Dynasty who dares to invite Liu Xie to come to Fengyue to spend money. And Liu Xie is also a bold man, accepted Guo Jia's invitation, and the two of them came to this daughter's smile building opened by Liu Xie as the backstage.

Liu Xiekai's daughter smiled not because he wanted to have a new time, but because Qinglou has always been one of the places where news and intelligence are most gathered, to put it mildly, there are many things that cannot be inquired about in other places, only here, it is possible to know.

Since it is his own business, Liu Xie naturally wants to be more serious. Of course, this does not rule out the reason why Zhen Mi and Zhao Yu arranged the eyeliner here. Fortunately, Guo Jia invited Liu Xie to come here to ask for something, and none of the singers who accompanied the wine were called, but two big men sat down and drank together.

"Does the lord know the allusions of Empress E's daughter?" Guo Jia poured a glass of wine for Liu Xie and asked out loud.

Liu Xie looked Guo Jia up and down, and saw that Guo Jia was uncomfortable, and just when Guo Jia couldn't help but ask again, Liu Xie asked faintly: "It seems that you want to marry Sister Cai, and you are even willing to shout the word "lord." I said, what do you like about Sister Cai? ”

Guo Jia's face was slightly red, he understood the meaning of Liu Xie's words, although he returned to the imperial court with Cao Cao, Guo Jia always kept a distance from Liu Xie, and treated Liu Xie with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and never behaved beyond the norm to Liu Xie. And now in order to make Liu Xie promise to help him, even the lord has shouted.

"Hey~ What do you like, what do you like about Sister Cai?" Seeing that Guo Jia bowed his head and was silent, Liu Xie urged.

“…… The lord should know that Guo's mentor is Mr. Cai Yong, right? ”

"Ah, you know, what's wrong?"

"Guo's parents died when he was a child, and he was still young when he came to Chang'an to study, and it was Sister Cai who always cared about and took care ......of Guo at that time."

"Oh, I see, that's when you started eyeing Sister Cai."

“…… Yes, Guo hoped to marry Sister Cai in the future. It's just that Master Cai was confused and married Sister Cai to Wei Zhongdao, the short-lived ghost. In order not to give Liu Xie the opportunity to make fun of himself, Guo Jia readily admitted.

“…… Then why didn't you express your heart to Sister Cai when you were in Chang'an? At that time, Sister Cai was single, and you didn't marry a wife at that time. If you said it then, maybe you have children now, why didn't you say it then? Liu Xie asked curiously.

"I was a captive at that time, how can I think about my children's private affairs." Guo Jia glared at Liu Xie and said.

Seeing this, Liu Xie retorted dissatisfiedly: "Hey~ You have to speak with your conscience." You touched your conscience and said, when you were in Chang'an, was that treatment the treatment that a prisoner could enjoy? Except that you are not allowed to go out of the city without permission, what kind of food and clothing do you use that is not good? ”

"But that's not what I want, what I want is to share weal and sorrow with Cao Gong." Guo Jia glared and shouted.

Liu Xie was also not to be outdone, glared back, and shouted: "Ahh Are you really stupid to let you go back knowing that letting you go back will cause you big trouble for yourself? ”

"Then why didn't you kill me then?"

"Because it's a pity to kill you, your intelligence can be ranked in the top ten in the world, wouldn't it be a waste to have such a smart head, not to serve the court and benefit the people."

“…… Could it be that this is the reason why you let Cao Gong go? ”

"That's right, otherwise why do you think I would spare Cao Cao? I really had enough to eat. Liu Xie glanced at Guo Jia and said.

"No wonder Cao Gong has no objection to your arrangement this time. …… Are we here today to talk about these things? Guo Jia suddenly reacted, looked at Liu Xie and asked.

"You started it, don't try to throw the black pot at me."

Guo Jia: "......"

……

"Listen to the guy surnamed Guo in the building, you have been surrounded, let go of the girl in your arms, and come out of me honestly!" Just as Guo Jia was about to continue the topic of Cai Yan with Liu Xie, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the building, which frightened Guo Jia and shuddered.

"Look at your unproductive look." Liu Xie glanced at Guo Jia with disdain and said.

"You haven't been beaten by her, you don't know how good she is. What to do? Guo Jia retorted unconvinced, and then looked at Liu Xie helplessly and asked.

"What else can I do? Run. ”

"Oh."

"Calm down, this is the third floor." Liu Xie grabbed Guo Jiadao, who was about to escape through the window. On the third floor, if you jump from here, you won't die and you'll be crippled.

"If you don't go from here, where are you going?" Guo Jia's brain was obviously degraded at this time, and he asked Liu Xiedao stupidly.

At this time, a woman came over and whispered to Liu Xie: "This son, there is a back door in this building, please come with the slave family." ”

"Well, lead the way." Liu Xie nodded, pulled Guo Jia by the hand, and slipped away from the back door with him. And Xun Xiaomei, who came to arrest the adulterer, also brought the women's army in to get people after the warning was fruitless. She only came in at this time, so naturally she couldn't find Guo Jia, so she had to collect the team and return to the camp in a huff.

Guo Jia, who was lucky enough to escape, was no longer in the mood to discuss with Liu Xie about marrying Cai Yan, so he said goodbye to Liu Xie and walked home with a gloomy expression. As soon as she arrived at the door, Xun Xiaomei rushed out and asked, "Where did you go just now?" ”

"I, I just accompanied the saint to go up to observe the people's feelings."

"Aware of the people's feelings? Hum! Do you need to go to the Qianjin Yixiao Building to understand the people's feelings? ”

"I didn't."

"You have, I saw it with my own eyes."

"You're talking nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense, I'll personally bring someone in to get you."

"You...... Have you seen me? Guo Jia suddenly reacted, grabbed the loophole in his daughter-in-law's words and asked.

Xun Xiaomei was stunned for a moment when she was asked, and then she understood, yes, she didn't catch the rape.

"Did you meet me in the Qianjin Yixiao Building?" Guo Jia asked again.

“…… No, no, but, but ......" Xun Xiaomei's voice was a little quieter.

"Nothing, but if you don't see me, that means I didn't go." Guo Jia couldn't help but speak a little louder. Consciously ignoring Xun Xiaomei's eyes, she stretched out her hand and pulled Guo Jia's sleeve, and said coquettishly: "Husband~ The concubine knows that it is wrong, you have a lot of adults, don't be like a concubine and a woman's family." ”

"Hmph, at this time, you know that you are a woman? Look at you, a woman from a Taoist family, who doesn't stay at home honestly and teaches her husband and children, but she wants to serve as the captain of the Luanwei Battalion. It's just a matter of going, but you actually took your subordinates to Qianjin Yixiao Building to catch me, where do you put my face? Do you know when I hear ......"

"What do you hear?" Xun Xiaomei originally lowered her head and looked like she was being honestly trained, but when she heard this, she suddenly raised her head and asked coldly. And Guo Jia also realized that he had spoken out of his mouth, but he was in a hurry, and when he heard Xun Xiaomei's question, he hurriedly continued: "When I heard someone talking about a woman taking a large group of people to catch the adulterer, I immediately thought that it was you, and not only me, but also the saint who was resting on the street with me at that time guessed that it was you. Make me a joke, do you know how I felt at the time? ”

"Husband, the concubine knows that she is wrong." Xun Xiaomei's head lowered again, and at an angle that Xun Xiaomei couldn't see, Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief, secretly admired his eagerness, and finally came back to the story.

In order to avoid losing too many words, Guo Jia didn't count Xun Xiaomei anymore, snorted lightly and looked up and went home. It's just that as soon as he entered the door, Guo Jia's nemesis ran over, and when he saw Guo Jia, he shouted expectantly: "Daddy, what about the gift you promised the child?" The child didn't tell his mother and father about going to the daughter's house. ”

“…… My life is at rest. Hearing the heavy closing of the door behind him, Guo Jia couldn't help but scream.
