Late at night, when Guo Jia and Xu Shu wanted to say goodbye and leave the room, Zhang Jiao personally sent the two out of the door, and then whispered to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, you and Yuan Zhi should go out of the city and return to their hometowns overnight." ”

Guo Jia and Xu Shu both understood and knew Zhang Jiao's voice, so they planned to say goodbye, but they were supported by Zhang Jiao and said, "I will personally send you out of the city." ”

Although it is the spring season to return to the earth, the cool breeze in the middle of the night is still slightly cold, Guo Jia knew Zhang Jiao's physical condition, and hurriedly excused himself, but Zhang Jiao insisted on refusing, and after the two took the burden and led the horse, they were sent all the way to the south gate of Yecheng, and bribed the city guards to open the city gate after bribing some money from the city guards.

At this moment, a group of people came from behind, led by Zhang Liang, followed by Bocai, Zhang Mancheng, Li Damu and others, with swords in their hands, seeing Guo Jia and Xu Shu preparing to go out of the city, they wanted to draw their swords and hold them hostage, if Guo Jia and Xu Shu did not obey, they would be killed immediately.

"Bastard! What are you doing here? Zhang Jiao's eyes widened angrily, glaring at his younger brother Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang showed unwillingness, but he didn't dare to contradict his eldest brother, but Bo Cai came out of the crowd and said respectfully: "Great sage and good teacher, these two people are not used by my Taiping Dao, it is better to kill them on the spot, otherwise wouldn't it be a bad thing for the two of them to expose the Taiping Dao's plot to the Han Court?" Moreover, since the great sages and good teachers value these two people so much, we also know that these two talents are rare, and if these two people are used by the enemies of our Taiping Dao in the future, they will have great trouble in our Taiping Dao. ”

"Presumptuous! I said let them go, if anyone dares to use the sword soldiers, don't blame my men for being ruthless! Zhang Jiao's face was grim and majestic, and Zhang Liang and the others bowed their heads in shock and did not dare to look at him.

Guo Jia and Xu Shu were extremely moved when they saw Zhang Jiao maintaining it like this, and they also knew that if Zhang Jiao didn't send it off in person, I am afraid that a life-and-death battle would be avoided today.

After turning over and getting on the horse, Guo Jia hugged his fist at Zhang Jiao and said: "Great sage and good teacher, Jia will say goodbye, there will be a period later." ”

Zhang Jiao closed his eyes and nodded silently, and when Guo Jia and Xu Shu galloped across the horse and disappeared without a trace, Zhang Jiao still stood outside Yecheng, looking into the distance, sighing several times.

"Big brother, then Guo Jia and Xu Shu are far away." Zhang Liang cautiously came to Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao was silent, turned back to Yecheng, and when he returned to the stronghold, he turned to Zhang Liang and said: "Call Zhang Baiqi, Zhang Niujiao, Sima Ju, and Xu He to come to my room, I have something important to tell them." ”

Zhang Bao was ordered to call these people, and after the four of them came to Zhang Jiao's room, they stayed in the room with Zhang Jiao until dawn, and the four people who walked out of Zhang Jiao's room all looked uneasy, and after looking at each other, Zhang Baiqi wanted to speak and stopped, but Sima Ju shook his head and said: "I can wait and listen to the great sage and good teacher to arrange and act today." ”

The other three let go of their doubts and finally nodded.

Guo Jia, who hurried back to Yingchuan, saw the farmers cultivating in his own fertile fields from a distance, and someone saw Guo Jia and Xu Shu who dismounted and walked, and shouted loudly: "The little prince is back!" ”

The farmers who were plowing in the spring in the field put down their farm tools and ran to say hello to Guo Jia.

When he came to the outside of the wooden house school next to the farmland, he saw that Xi Zhicai had a displeased face, and he neither came forward to welcome Guo Jia's return, nor did he ask questions, but Zuo Ci, who was not far away to teach the children to practice martial arts, ran over, grabbed Guo Jia's hand and asked, "Little princess, the old man wants to kill you." ”

Guo Jia suddenly looked puzzled, and asked rhetorically: "Zuo Lao Dao, what do you want me to do?" ”

Zuo Ci laughed, stroked his beard and said proudly: "The little prince went out to travel, and there was a big event and a small thing in this world. ”

Guo Jia was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Xi Zhicai stepped forward, stared at Guo Jia with an unkind face and said: "The big thing is that the Zhen family is famous for its drunken immortal wine, and the small thing is that Guo Fengxiao, a madman from Yingchuan, has become the Zhen family's son-in-law." ”

After hearing this, Xu Shu looked up to the sky and laughed, and Guo Jia knew the mystery when he thought about it, and expected that Xi Zhicai, who was addicted to alcohol, had already expected that the Zhen family's drunken immortal wine was related to him, but he hated to taste the drunken immortal wine praised by the world and was angry with him.

Guo Jia just wanted to explain, but saw three fast horses galloping in the distance, three guards jumped off the horses, and put a wine jar in each hand in front of Guo Jia, one of the guards hugged his fists and said: "I sent the wine here on the order of Zhongshan Taishou, little Taigong, please accept it." ”

This guard Guo Jia is known, originally the guard of the Zhen family, and later Zhen Yan became the Taishou of Zhongshan and recruited this person, after all, he came to deliver wine, and he must find someone who has seen Guo Jia.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his front foot arrived, the wine was delivered, and after Guo Jia thanked him with his fists, the three guards left in a hurry.

Guo Jia saw Xi Zhicai and Zuo Ci, who were excitedly holding a jar of wine, stepped forward and hooked Xi Zhicai's shoulder, and said in a mysterious voice: "Every time the Zhen family sends wine to Emperor Ling, they only send five altars, but now they directly send me six altars." You're more drunk than the Emperor, haha. ”

Xi Zhicai swept away his previous displeasure, nodded yes, and after sending the six altars of fine wine into the house, he went with Guo Jia to meet those ordinary children.

I haven't seen him for a year, many children have grown strong, and when they saw Guo Jia, they all bowed their heads and saluted with admiration: "How is the little princess?" ”

Guo Jia was pleased to chat with them for some gossip, test their knowledge, and ask for warmth, which moved these children greatly.

At dusk, when Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, and Xu Shu returned to the house, Xi Zhicai exclaimed: "Zuo Lao Dao, you did a good thing!" ”

In the house, Zuo Ci was lying on the ground holding a wine jar, drunkenly talking nonsense, but the wine jar in his arms was already dripping, and he drank a full jar alone! Xi Zhicai was heartbroken when he saw this, and stepped forward and kicked Zuo Ci twice but did not respond, and the three of them had no choice but to lift the left side to the bed in the room, and then came to the outer room.

opened a jar of wine, Xi Zhi smelled the rich aroma of wine, impatiently poured a bowl by himself, raised his head and drank it, just waiting for Guo Jia and Xu Shu, who were watching the show, were not disappointed.

Ahem, ahem

Xi Zhicai was choked by the spicy wine and coughed, and it took a long time to ease up, and when he saw Guo Jia and Xu Shu snickering, he knew that he was anxious to get out of the foreign appearance, but he didn't care, and poured another bowl, at this time, he learned to be obedient, after tasting it in a small sip, he shook his head and reminisced, and praised his lips: "The best wine in the world is nothing more than drunken fairy wine, Fengxiao, I guess this wine was created by you, right?" ”

Guo Jia was also not modest, nodded and said, "Naturally." ”

After pouring wine for Xu Shu and Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai wondered: "In that case, why did you brew it at this time?" Why did you give this great fortune to the Zhen family? ”

Guo Jia shrugged his shoulders and replied: "I have no capital, this wine can't be brewed unless it is a wealthy family, and the Zhen family and I have an appetite, so I will give it to them." The most important thing is that although the Zhen family is rich, they have a benevolent style. ”

Xu Shu said happily when he heard this: "I'm afraid there is one more point, since Fengxiao wants to marry the daughter of the Zhen family, I am afraid it will not be reasonable to make a big gift." ”

Xi Zhicai had such an expression, but Guo Jia couldn't argue, so he acquiesced, anyway, now that the wood is in the boat, his friends just joked and laughed at it.

After three rounds of drinking, Xi Zhicai said to Guo Jia: "I have taken back the grain borrowing note you made with Wen Ruo back then, and I paid off the Xun family after the autumn harvest last year. ”

Guo Jia nodded, and after thinking about it, asked, "How much grain is stored at home now?" ”

Xi Zhicai replied directly: "Now the grain storage is enough to support a year." However, if Fengxiao still has to help refugees, I am afraid that it will be difficult. ”

Putting down the wine bowl, Guo Jia's expression was slightly heavy, Xi Zhicai was suspicious, Xu Shu told all the plans of Taiping Dao on the side, and Xi Zhicai had no different color after hearing it, as if he had already known.

"I expected that Taiping Dao would cause trouble, but I didn't expect that so soon, with the soldiers, hundreds of people will be displaced, Yingchuan is located in the land of a hundred battles, I'm afraid that Taiping Dao will make trouble, Yingchuan will not be peaceful."

Xu Shu then put out Guo Jia's plan for Zhang Jiao one by one, and then Xi Zhicai couldn't sit still, got up and paced in the room, sad and uneasy, and only stood still and stared down at Guo Jia for a long time: "Fengxiao can know, if the world knows that the Taiping Road military strategy is from you, you are going to be in trouble!" If Taiping Dao fails, Zhang Jiao blames Fengxiao for his miscalculation, and he is afraid of retaliation. If the Taiping Road breaks through Luoyang, the wealthy families in Luoyang City will be bleeding into a river, Zhang Jiao's success will definitely send someone to invite you out of the mountain again, in order to serve the public, it will also be said that Fengxiao you will announce the world, at that time, Fengxiao you may become the first sinner of the Han Dynasty! ”

Guo Jia said indifferently: "I have already become a bamboo in my chest, and I don't care about the reputation of the world, and Zhang Jiao treats me sincerely, and I can't repay it. If the Taiping Road is opposed, the main force of the states will inevitably obey Zhang Jiao's orders, but the Taiping Road has been preaching for more than ten years, and the disciples are uneven, if you hear the great sages and good teachers, I am afraid that countless small groups of rebels will emerge from all over the country to echo Zhang Jiao, although Yingchuan is a place of a hundred battles, Zhang Jiao has my strategy, and it is inevitable that the main forces of all roads will go straight to Luoyang, but the small group of rebels who have not been ordered by Zhang Jiao and dispatched have to be guarded, I mean, that is, they will start to store grain, and everyone is equipped with a self-defense iron weapon, and the children of the school must practice martial arts and strengthen their bodies every day, and find a secluded place in the nearby mountains, I will personally practice the formation of the enemy to prevent future troubles. ”

"Good."

Xu Shu and Xi Zhicai nodded together, and after the three of them discussed some details, Xi Zhicai suddenly raised his head and asked, "Feng Xiao, such a big event, doesn't it warn Wen Ruo?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "You don't have to, the Xun family is a famous family in Yingchuan, if there is really a big enemy, the famous family will naturally fight the enemy together, these families are huddled together, and the family soldiers gathered are at least a thousand people, and we, not only have to take care of the old and young, but we can't take out the enemy's weapons alone, instead of worrying about the wealthy families, we should think more about our own safety." ”

Xi Zhicai was silent, and finally turned into a soft sigh.
