This feeling of being led by the nose made Guo Jia very uncomfortable. originally thought that it was easy to deal with today, and originally thought that there was a master behind today, but now that the master has not seen it, he was tricked by the Son of Heaven. Although there are also reasons for his own paralysis and carelessness, the Son of Heaven is not useless, which is also obviously easy to see.

Guo Jia didn't want to suffer this dumb loss, but the Son of Heaven didn't see him again since he saw him once, so Guo Jia couldn't find a chance to get back a game. In desperation, he had to go to see Xun Yu, but from Xun Yu, Guo Jia knew that Ru Zi was no longer in Chang'an today, as for where he went, Guo Jia didn't ask, and Xun Yu couldn't tell Guo Jia about this outsider.

didn't find the owner, Guo Jia planned to leave. After all, it is not in the same camp as Xun Yu, the necessary avoidance of suspicion still has to be done, Guo Jia doesn't want to be driven out. I didn't want Xun Yu to stop Guo Jia, "Fengxiao will wait, since you are here, it is just so good that I will go to you for a while." Come on, go and ask Doctor Hua to come. ”

“…… Wen Ruo, are you sick? Guo Jia heard the word "divine doctor", and hurriedly asked Xun Yu with concern.

"You're sick." Xun Yu glanced at Guo Jia and explained: "It was arranged before the saint left Chang'an, and the saint said that Fengxiao your Yintang is black, and you have a hidden disease, I'm afraid you won't live to be forty, just in time for Doctor Hua to be in Chang'an, so please ask Doctor Hua to show you if there is any help?" ”

“…… Oh, I didn't expect to see my face today. Guo Jia said with a sneer.

"Fengxiao, don't underestimate the saint, anyone who underestimates the saint will pay a heavy price." Xun Yu reminded Guo Jiadao unhappily when he heard this.

"The Son of Heaven is indeed not to be underestimated, and I don't know what means he used to make you Xun Wenruo so desperate." Guo Jia also said with a cold face when he heard this.

……

"I don't look! I'm not sick, what do you see? If you are still a friend to me, then don't force me to do things I don't want to do. When Hua Tuo came, Guo Jia was extremely uncooperative. Seeing this, Xun Yu frowned and said, "Since you are not sick, what is the matter with letting Doctor Hua take a look for you?" ”

"Since he's not sick, why should I let him see it."

"What if I'm sick?"

"No in case. In my opinion, you are sick, and you should see it. ”

"You ......" Xun Yu was so angry that he pointed at Guo Jia and couldn't speak, and sighed for a long time and said: "The saint told me that you would never be obedient, I still didn't believe it at the time, but now it seems that the saint said it again." ”

"Wen Ruo, Zi Bu is strange and confused, you don't want to tell me what nonsense the Son of Heaven belongs to the Mandate of Heaven, right?" Guo Jia frowned and asked.

"If you refuse to listen, then don't blame me for being unkind to you."

"What? Could it be that your saint has given you ideas on how to convince me to go to the doctor? Guo Jia asked with a smile when he heard this.

“…… Before leaving, the saint only left me a sentence, seeing your current virtue, I completely understand what it means to be in charge of my territory. Someone, arrest him. ”

"You! You! Guo Jia was surprised, the impression of Xun Yu was not like now, just when Guo Jia was surprised by Xun Yu's words, the soldiers who heard Xun Yu's order outside the door also rushed in. Guo Jia is a qualified strategist, but because his health has not been good, it is difficult for Guo Jia to do so in the face of the five big and three rough soldiers.

"Xun Wenruo! You! You!! That's how you treat your old friend!! Guo Jia was pressed to the ground and questioned Xun Yu angrily.

"I am in charge of my territory, who told you not to listen to my advice." Xun Yu said angrily, and then said to Hua Tuo, who was looking dumbfounded: "Doctor Hua, I'm tired." ”

"You'd better not fall into my hands in the future." Guo Jia, whose body was restrained, could only stare at Xun Yu viciously and said.

"Stupid." Xun Yu couldn't help but scold.

……

waited until Hua Tuo finished checking Guo Jia's pulse, then looked at Guo Jia's eyelids, and finally asked Guo Jia to stick out his tongue and let him look at the tongue coating. Guo Jia cooperated at this time, but his eyes looking at Xun Yu became more and more unkind.

"Does Mr. Guo have a habit of taking Wushisan on weekdays?" Hua Tuo motioned for the soldiers to let go of Guo Jia and asked out loud.

Guo Jia moved his body and asked curiously, "What?" Isn't Wushisan a medicine? ”

Hua Tuo shook his head when he heard the words and said, "Mr. Guo, how can you eat medicine indiscriminately." Haven't you heard the saying that medicine is poisonous? Although Wushisan has the effect of aphrodisiac, it can be ......"

"Poof~" Xun Yu on the side couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and Guo Jia's face also turned from white to red, from red to black, and glared at Hua Tuo viciously. But Hua Tuo didn't seem to see Guo Jia's face, and continued: "But long-term consumption of Wushisan will develop a dependence on Wushisan, and the poisons in Wushisan will also be deposited in the body. Mr. Guo now looks like an ordinary person, but once the disease occurs, it is a medicine stone without a doctor. ”

“…… Mr. Hua, don't be alarmist, I don't believe it. Guo Jia said with a stiff neck.

Hua Tuo sighed when he heard this and said: "Alas~ Why does Mr. Guo want to avoid medicine, Hua has been practicing medicine for many years, and he will not be mistaken." If Mr. Guo had not received treatment at this time and continued to take Wushi San, I am afraid that he would not have lived to be forty. ”

Guo Jia didn't look at Hua Tuo when he heard this, turned his head and asked Xun Yu: "Xun Situ, dare to ask, is it that if I Guo Jia wants to be healed by Hua Shen, I must stay in Chang'an and serve the Son of Heaven?" ”

"Shut up!" Xun Yu said angrily when he heard this: "Hugh wants to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!" The saint asked Dr. Hua to treat you, but I couldn't bear to let my Han lose my talent, when did you mention that you would switch to Chang'an. ”

Guo Jia still saw Xun Yu have such a big fire for the first time, and after knowing him for so many years, he only knew today that Xun Yu was so scary when he started the fire, and he was a little afraid of Xun Yu at this time.

"Wen Ruo, don't be angry, don't I just say this."

"Humph! In the words of the Holy Lord, you are now a dog biting Lu Dongbin, and you don't know the hearts of good people. ”

"Yes, yes, I'm a dog, but ...... Who is Lu Dongbin? Guo Jia didn't dare to continue to provoke Xun Yu at this time, but when he heard the name of the unfamiliar person, he still asked curiously.

“…… Hum! Xun Yu snorted lightly and did not answer Guo Jia's question. In fact, he didn't know who Lu Dongbin was, and he also asked Liu Xie like Guo Jia at that time, but he was also perfunctory by Liu Xie.

Fortunately, Guo Jia didn't dare to provoke Xun Yu at this time, seeing that Xun Yu refused to say, he thought that Xun Yu was still angry with him, so he offered to leave, but Guo Jia still resolutely opposed the matter of letting Hua Tuo treat him for him. Xun Yu saw that Guo Jia was unrepentant, and he was really angry, but if the patient refused to cooperate with such a thing, the doctor would not be able to do it, and Xun Yu could only let Guo Jia leave.

"Xun Situ is not in a hurry, Hua Mouguan that Mr. Guo will not get sick for a few years, and there is still time to find a way to persuade him." Hua Tuo comforted Xun Yu softly.

"There's a miracle doctor of Laohua." Xun Yu said to Hua Tuo with a smile.

……

Guo Jia returned to the post house, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became, and he still didn't fully believe Hua Tuo's words. It's no wonder that Hua Tuo is the current imperial physician of the imperial court, since the previous imperial physician Ling Jiping was involved in Dong Cheng's incident, Jiping's post of imperial physician was dismissed, and people went to Qingzhou with Dong Cheng.

Since Hua Tuo is a member of the imperial court, and when the son of today wants to stay in Chang'an more than once when he meets him, Guo Jia has to suspect that Hua Tuo was sent by the Son of Heaven to deliberately exaggerate his illness to scare himself. It's not just me who eats Wushi San, everyone else is fine, why is it only yourself who will have an accident?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his judgment was correct, Guo Jia couldn't help but take out a pack of Wushisan and was about to suppress the shock, but when he was about to open his mouth to take Wushisan, Hua Tuo's warning sounded in his mind again.

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what happens, if I think wrong, that Hua Tuo is really not assigned by the Son of Heaven to deliberately say that to scare himself, then take Wushi powder by himself...... Could it be that you are looking for your own death? ”

It's that people are afraid of death! Whether it is a peddler or a prince or a general, he will feel fear when facing death. Guo Jia refused to believe that what Hua Tuo said was true, and was worried that something would really happen if he took Wushi San, so he was in a dilemma for a while.

"Is the advisor in the house?" A light question outside the door made Guo Jia suddenly sober up, glanced at the five stones in his hand, Guo Jia rewrapped it and put it in his sleeve, and asked out loud, "What's the matter?" ”

"Strategist, Yanzhou has sent news."

"Huh? So fast? Guo Jia was a little surprised, and immediately understood that the news sent was not the lord's reply to the conditions proposed by the imperial court, I was afraid that something had happened in Yanzhou.

"Come in." Guo Jia said to the door.

"When was this delivered?" With the news in his hand, Guo Jia asked again.

"If you go back to the military division, you will be sent when the military division goes to meet the Son of Heaven. Strategist, what's wrong with you? The person who answered suddenly saw Guo Jia's face pale, and his body was even more shaky, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support Guo Jia and asked.

“…… Hurry up and prepare the carriage, I'm going to Situ Mansion. Also, let people prepare their bags, and when I come back, I will set off to return to Yanzhou. ”

Although I don't know why Guo Jia gave this order, when he came, Cao Cao made it clear that Guo Jia was in charge of this trip, and now that the person in charge has spoken, they as subordinates naturally have to act according to the order.

Guo Jia was left alone in the house, holding the news that had just arrived, Guo Jia's tears couldn't be stopped, and he poured out vigorously, "Zhicai ......"

……

Guo Jia went and returned, which made Xun Yu very surprised, but when he saw Guo Jia's sad face, Xun Yu's heart couldn't help but chuckle, Xun Yu knew that Guo Jia was an open-minded person, and he could make him so sad, only when something happened to someone close to him.

"Bonghyo, what's wrong with you?" Xun Yu asked with concern.

Guo Jia didn't answer, but handed the news he had just received to Xun Yu, Xun Yu understood when he saw it, there were only eight words on the paper, "Zhicai died of illness, I hope you will return early." ”

"Zhicai ......" Xun Yu looked at Guo Jia in disbelief, hoping that this was a joke Guo Jia made with himself. When Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai studied together in Yingchuan Academy, Xun Yu had a close relationship with the two, and now when he heard that his friend had died, Xun Yu's heart couldn't help but feel sad.

"Wen Ruo, I want to rush back to Yanzhou as soon as possible to send Zhicai on his last journey, and I hope you can let him go." Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu and said.

"Well, send Zhicai for me. As for what you asked for in Chang'an for Cao Cao, I will send Bu Qi as an envoy to Yanzhou to discuss with Cao Cao later. Xun Yu nodded and said.

“…… There is Lao Wenruo's trouble. ”

"Feng Xiao......" Seeing that Guo Jia turned around to leave, Xun Yu stopped Guo Jia.

"What else is going on with Wen Ruo?" Guo Jia turned around and asked.

“…… Don't eat that Wushisan anymore, Doctor Hua is really not a means arranged by the Holy Lord to keep you in Chang'an. Xun Yu persuaded Guo Jia sincerely.

“…… Good. ”

……

Guo Jia left, with the warrant issued by Xun Yu in his hand, and no one deliberately made things difficult along the way. Guo Jia kept going all the way, rushing overnight, so that the people who accompanied him couldn't help but worry about Guo Jia's not very good little body.

"Quickly close the door! I am the Lord's account, and I sacrifice wine Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao. In front of the Tiger Prison, Guo Jia shouted loudly at the gate.

"Raise the torch and let me see my face." Someone shouted at the close.

"Zilian, you are cautious." Guo Jia heard that the person who spoke was Cao Hong, and shouted as he picked up a torch and rushed to close it.

"It's really sacrificial wine, wait for a while, I'll order someone to switch it off." Cao Hong saw that the person under the pass was Guo Jia, and immediately shouted.

"There is Lao Zilian."

Waiting for Guo Jia and his entourage to enter the customs, Cao Hong saw Guo Jia's haggard appearance because of the dust and dust in the past few days, and couldn't help but say with concern: "Fengxiao, you have to take care of your body." ”

"Zilian, can you know what kind of illness Zhicai died of?" Guo Jia asked when he heard this. This Cao Hong is a close person to the lord, and he was even more life-saving to the lord back then. Asking others may not know the cause of Xi Zhicai's death, but asking him may know.

Cao Hong heard Guo Jia's inquiry, pulled Guo Jia aside and whispered, "I heard Ji Ping say that Zhicai seems to be caused by eating too much Wushi San. Fengxiao, I remember that you also seem to have a hobby of eating Wushisan, so hurry up and quit. ”

"Jiping? Which Gipping? Guo Jia frowned and asked.

"It's the order of the former imperial physician of the imperial court, although he Dong Cheng went to Qingzhou to pass here, he was left behind by the lord." Cao Hong explained.

"Zilian, I still have to hurry, so I won't talk to you. By the way, the imperial court may send an envoy to Yanzhou in the future, so don't be rude. Guo Jia reminded Cao Hongdao before leaving.

"Fengxiao, could it be that you persuaded the court on this trip?" Cao Hong asked with some surprise.

Guo Jia shook his head when he heard this, and told Cao Hongdao: "It's not certain whether it can be successful, anyway, you must not make any rude behavior, so as not to spoil the lord's affairs." ”

"Fengxiao rest assured, I will naturally save this, and you must take care of your body on the road."

……

Guo Jia continued to hurry, and finally caught up with the funeral. Seeing Guo Jia rushing back, including Cao Cao, they were a little surprised, no one would have thought that Guo Jia could rush back today. This can also be seen how deep the friendship between Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai is.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Guo Jia, whose face was still a little haggard, came to Xi Zhicai's coffin. At this time, it is the depths of winter, but it can be guaranteed that the corpse will not decompose too quickly. Looking at Xi Zhicai's face with his eyes closed forever, the past surfaced in Guo Jia's mind one by one. Unlike Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, who is from the same humble family as Guo Jia, has more common language with Guo Jia. But now, this inseparable confidant has left him, and he has not yet shown his ambitions, so he died.

"Fengxiao, don't be too sad." Cao Cao was worried that Guo Jia was overly sad, so he stepped forward and comforted softly.

“…… Thank you for your concern, Feng Xiao is fine. Guo Jia shook his head lightly to say that he was fine, and then offered incense to Xi Zhicai, and after everything was over, he solemnly said to Xi Zhicai: "Zhicai rest assured, I will help the lord achieve great things, you can watch it with peace of mind." ”

Because he was worried about Guo Jia's health, Cao Cao rejected Guo Jia's desire to report on the gains of this trip to Chang'an, and instead asked Guo Jia to be sent to rest. After Guo Jia left, Cao Cao called the entourage who went to Chang'an with Guo Jia, and first learned about the trip to Chang'an from them.

Since the solution of the great problem of Li Dao Guo Yan's Xiliang Army, Guanzhong's internal stability has been basically stable. Liangzhou Han Sui and Ma Teng have not openly made enemies of the imperial court, which means that they may also be subdued by the imperial court. As long as the imperial court guards Tongguan and Wuguan, the east and west sides basically don't have to worry anymore. Hanzhong has long been controlled by the imperial court, which means that the real need for the imperial court to worry about is actually a Hun in the north.

Compared with the predicament of being attacked on all sides, the current Guanzhong is tantamount to getting rid of the embarrassing situation at the beginning, and it is no longer realistic to let the imperial court take the initiative to return eastward.

From the moment Cao Cao knew that Li Dao and Guo Yan had been defeated, he knew that he had missed the best opportunity to control the imperial court. But he also did not expect that the imperial court could restore stability in such a short period of time. And the court was able to restore stability so quickly, and the biggest hero was probably none other than Situ Xunyu, one of the three princes today.

As soon as he thought of Xun Yu, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel depressed and regretful. This was originally going to come to himself, but when he heard Guo Jia say that Xun Yu was coming, he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhi intervened halfway, and as a result, he sent "Xiao He of the World" to the imperial court. If Xun Yu is working under his own account at this time, then in terms of internal affairs, he at least does not need to worry as much as he does now.

"Alas~" Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.

"Lord, Guo sacrifices wine and asks to see you." Xu Chu's report came from outside the door.

When Cao Cao heard this, he hurriedly got up and invited Guo Jia into the house, and said with concern: "Fengxiao, you are only concerned about traveling these days, and your body is afraid that you will not be able to bear it, why don't you come here to rest?" ”

"Ming Gong, Feng Xiao can't sleep." Guo Jia smiled bitterly when he heard this.

Seeing this, Cao Cao no longer persuaded him, and after letting Guo Jia sit down, he said: "I have read the letter sent by Feng Xiao, does Feng Xiao think I should agree?" ”

"Some can say yes, some ...... In fact, it makes not much difference whether you say yes or not. Guo Jia thought about it and said softly to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao frowned slightly after hearing this, what Guo Jia said at this time was actually almost exactly the same as what Xi Zhicai said to Cao Cao before his death, and it was precisely because it was almost the same that Cao Cao felt a little puzzled, "How can you say this?" ”
