Chapter Fifty-Six: Seclusion

A few days have passed since Guo Jia escaped from Luoyang, and the court order in Yanjing has made a ridiculous joke, because less than three hours after the edict to pardon Guo Jia was announced, Guo Jia was listed as a felony in the imperial court on charges of rebellion.

The reason is only because the Yuan family needed a fig leaf to help Yuan Shu wipe off the filth, so they united with the party members of the DPRK and China to go to the Son of Heaven and set a surname for the bloody case in the east of Luoyang City.

Compared with Guo Jia's previous murder in Hedong and havoc in Xuzhou, this time he committed a crime in Yanjing Imperial City, which attracted siege from all directions.

Yingchuan County Taishou did not dare to trade privately with the Xun family again, and the crime committed by Guo Jia was agreed by the court, and he rebelled!

Killing the head is light, and the three clans will be punished!

It's a pity that the Guo family, the family that oppressed Guo Jia back then, was implicated, and almost all of them were executed, and only those who had nothing to do with Guo Jia escaped. I don't know if Guo Jia clapped his hands or was angry when he heard the news.

And the land and houses that had been transferred to the name of Xi Zhicai were finally confiscated, and Yingchuan Taishou did not dare to take risks and commit a major crime of rebellion, and he would be implicated if he was not careful.

Xi Zhicai and Xu Shu had no choice but to take the food and farm tools they had accumulated for many years, and thousands of people left their hometowns together and left Yingchuan.

After falling into a coma, Guo Jia occasionally woke up briefly in the carriage, and under the care of Xiao Ren, he ate some gruel in a daze and fell asleep again, bumpy all the way, waking up and sleeping, and the moon changed, his mind was blank, and he only knew that he seemed to sleep most peacefully and carefree after coming to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Slowly opening his eyes, in the dim wooden house, Guo Jia saw the beams of the roof, the new wood supporting the top of the wooden house, and then turned his head, and saw a dignified but very haggard face, as well as the surprise in the clear eyes.

"Childe." Da Qiao wiped the sweat from Guo Jia's forehead, and finally cried with joy when he saw Guo Jia wake up and his eyes were glowing.

Guo Jia raised his hand and stroked her pretty face, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingertips, and smiled reluctantly in weakness: "If you cry again, you will become ugly." ”

Da Qiao hurriedly wiped away his tears, held Guo Jia's hand and asked, "What does Childe want to do?" Drink water or eat? ”

Guo Jia turned his head to see that Xiao Qiao was sleeping beside him and held his other hand.

When he looked at the hut and saw that there was nothing but a mattress on the floor, he asked, "Where is this?" ”

Da Qiao said: "Since leaving Luoyang, Xiao Ren took everyone to the east, but he was afraid that there would be chasing soldiers behind him, so he turned to the north halfway, and he was afraid that he would encounter the round-up of Yuan Shu's cousin Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi in Hanoi, so Xiao Ren took everyone to the foot of Taihang Mountain, and this wooden house was built by several of them from cutting wood in the mountains. ”

Guo Jia nodded, closed his eyes, Xiao Ren had followed him for so many years, and finally did not disappoint him, he was calm, not chaotic, and made a decision and thoughtful decision.

Just at this time, someone walked in with food, Guo Jia raised his eyes and saw Diao Chan coming with a plate of food, Diao Chan saw Guo Jia wake up, and also showed surprise, put down the meal and whispered: "The slave doesn't know that the son has woken up, and the meal is not well prepared, so the slave and maid will go and prepare some more." ”

Guo Jia forcibly sat up, called Diao Chan, and said to her: "Don't be busy, I can't eat now, I want to go out for a walk." ”

"Childe!" Da Qiao saw that Guo Jia was weak and hoped that he would rest for a while.

But Guo Jia insisted on getting up, so Da Qiao and Diao Chan helped him up left and right, put on a cold windbreaker, and helped Guo Jia out of the wooden house.

It is dusk, the sky is full of glow, the afterglow is still dazzling, Guo Jia covers the light with his hand, and only puts down his hand after getting used to it, looks at the surrounding environment, and finds that it is located in the middle of nowhere, leaning on Taihang Mountain in the north, and Qinshui in the south.

Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, who were learning martial arts not far away, saw Guo Jia standing in front of the house, and immediately went over to ask for warmth, Guo Jia was pale and weak at the moment, and after saying hello to Gan Ning Zhou Tai, he asked, "What about Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi?" ”

Gan Ning Zhou Tai's face became heavy and sad, and he pointed to a hillside near the mountain forest not far away.

Guo Jia raised his eyes and found that there were two dry graves under the hillside, and Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi were sitting cross-legged in front of the graves, and the scene was bleak.

Gently pushing away the hands held by Da Qiao and Diao Chan, Guo Jia walked slowly towards the two.

Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi, who were immersed in sadness, suddenly touched a hand on their shoulders, and the two of them looked up together, and hurriedly stood up and saluted after seeing Guo Jia, but Guo Jia pressed the shoulders of the two hard, shook his head at them and said: "Don't bother, I'm sorry for you, I took you out, but let your brothers be separated by yin and yang, and the four brothers broke two of them at once, and I, Guo Jia, felt guilty." ”

"Little Taigong, the eldest brother and the second brother died fighting for the little Taigong, and they died without regrets." Xiao Ren said excitedly, with two lines of tears in the corners of his eyes.

Xiao Yi lowered his head and said firmly: "Little Taigong, don't apologize anymore, it is already a gift from God for our brothers to be by the side of Xiao Taigong, the eldest brother and the second brother are blessed, and they can't continue to follow Xiao Taigong, but even if they die, they won't regret it." Even if you know that you will end up today, you will not choose to escape. ”

Guo Jia's eyes were moist, he sat down slowly, hooked Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi's shoulders with both hands, looked at the desolate tomb, and choked up: "Xiao Zhong, Xiao Yong, you died for me, and died young for me, I Guo Jia has nothing to repay, if there is an afterlife, I will protect you." ”

Xiao Ren Xiao Yi gritted his teeth and wept, speaking of which, the two were only fifteen-year-old boys, but they experienced the tragedy of the early death of this brother, and the only person they admired and relied on in their hearts at this time was Guo Jia, and the two leaned on Guo Jia's shoulder and burst into tears.

Guo Jia, who was also in tears, secretly said in his heart: Xiao Ren, Xiao Yi, you have to live with me, and accept the glory and blessing that belongs to your brother.

When night fell, Guo Jia stood alone on the hillside wearing a windbreaker, looking at the vast world, he was confused for the first time.

From the moment he crossed over to become Guo Jia, he actually had some inferiority complex and panic, afraid that he would never be as good as Guo Jia in history who was as strategic as Fan Li and made decisions like Chen Ping, so he was afraid, he was afraid that he would not be able to get Cao Ying's appreciation and not be able to gain a foothold in the troubled times, so he had to keep accumulating chips for himself, so that Cao Ying would pay attention to him and treat him well, so that he could start and finish well in the turbulent era of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Forming a good Zhen family, helping the people and accumulating kindness, and gathering celebrities, everything he does is in the hope that before serving Cao Ying, he can have a memorable image in front of Cao Ying, in this way, even if he is not as wise and resourceful as Guo Jia in history, at least he can let Cao Ying treat him well.

But now, he and Cao Ying not only turned their faces, but also had a mortal enmity.

If you let go of this hatred and still serve Cao Ying, it may be a good story after a hundred years, but Guo Jia is unwilling, in the face of the world, personal hatred is indeed insignificant, but he just can't let go, Cao Ying is the hero, but Guo Jia has broken the idea of contribution.

Apart from Cao Ying, where else is Guo Jia going?

Since even Cao Ying won't go to work, let alone the Yuan brothers.

killed Tao Qian's eldest son, and Xuzhou couldn't go.

The rise of the Sun family will have to wait for a few years to wait for Sun Ce to sweep Jiangdong, and Guo Jia is unwilling to join Sun Ce's account.

Liu Bei? Guo Jia was not interested in being displaced from him.

counted and counted, and in the end, Liu Yan and Liu Biao were left.

Liu Yan doesn't know where to go, Liu Yan doesn't have a few years to live, and he only fell into the battle for succession, and Liu Yan's capable son died early, and his son who didn't have the ability couldn't keep the family business.

Looking up to the sky and sighing, Guo Jia muttered, "How did I get to this point today? ”

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Guo Jia already had a plan in his heart, find a deep mountain and old forest, and live in seclusion.

When Guo Jia was about to go back to the house, he saw Diao Chan coming out of another wooden house, and the food he was carrying only moved a little, Guo Jia became suspicious and asked, "Who only ate so many mouthfuls of food?" ”

Diao Chan lowered his head and said, "Miss Cai." ”

Miss Cai?

Guo Jia was inexplicable.

"Who the hell is it? Where did Miss Cai come from? ”

Diao Chan looked up at Guo Jia with a strange look and asked, "Doesn't Childe know Miss Cai Yan Cai?" ”

Guo Jia nodded and replied, "I know each other, but why is she here with us?" ”

Diao Chan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to reply.

Guo Jia sighed and asked, "What's the inside story, say." ”

Diao Chan still didn't speak, shaking his head and saying nothing.

Guo Jia was impatient and threatened: "Don't say it? I don't say you'll sleep tonight. ”

Diao Chan raised his head to reveal a miserable white face, and hurriedly replied in fright: "Miss Cai said that she took advantage of the chaos to lurk in Gongzi's carriage with the intention of assassinating Gongzi, and the situation was critical, Xiao Ren knocked Miss Cai unconscious and took her on the road together." ”

Assassinate?

Guo Jia lowered his head and pondered, Cai Wenji has this courage? Anyway, I definitely don't have the skills.

Seeing that Guo Jia didn't speak, Diao Chan asked nervously: "Childe, the slave and maid replied to you, can you not go to bed?" ”

Well?

Guo Jia raised his head and looked at Diao Chan, and asked with some puzzlement: "Childe, am I ugly?" ”

Diao Chan shook his head, meaning not ugly.

Guo Jia asked again: "Childe, am I very bad to you?" ”

Diao Chan hesitated for a moment and shook his head slightly, meaning that it was okay.

Guo Jia asked again: "Childe, I want you to sleep, is it difficult for you to accept it?" ”

Diao Chan's face turned pale again, nodding and shaking his head, and finally mustered up the courage to say something that made Guo Jia dumbfounded.

"Slaves and maids are ominous people and cannot sleep."

Guo Jia looked Diao Chan up and down, it can't be said to be a standard beauty, but the best among beauties, but will such a beauty be exhausted? Otherwise, why can't the ominous person sleep?

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Funny for you, don't care, help me take care of the people here, I'll thank you." ”

After speaking, Guo Jia bypassed Diao Chan and walked straight towards the wooden house where Cai Yan was.
