And before Yuan Xi spoke, he immediately reacted and knew that he had done something stupid. Sure enough, everyone's eyes were instantly on him. Rao is Yuan Xi's thick skin can't help but blush a little. This further proves that Zhen Mi's words are indeed true.

And Zhen Mi also glanced at Yuan Xi meaningfully, but she was noncommittal, obviously she didn't want to make the answer in her heart public, and it could be regarded as leaving a little face for Yuan Xi, but Guo Jia believed that this was because Zhen didn't want to offend Yuan Shao too much, so he was so restrained. However, everyone looked at the relatively silent two people suspiciously, and they naturally didn't know the mystery of the Dao. Seeing this, Zhen Mi also realized that his previous subconscious opening still caused quite a lot of trouble, so he hurriedly smiled: "Second Prince Yuan doesn't have to take it to heart, I just said it casually, and there is no basis, don't listen to my nonsense just now." ”

Originally, everyone just didn't know the mystery, but when they heard Zhen Mi's words, they immediately knew that things were not so simple, especially Zhen Yan, he had watched his sister grow up since he was a child, of course, he knew Zhen Mi's cautious personality that was never without a target, she must have a basis for saying this, and maybe even she had already determined this, but her talent was not enough after all, so she couldn't understand it.

But now, even if everyone has doubts, no one wants to make more fuss about this matter, after all, Yuan Xi represents Yuan Shao, and continuing to delve into it is tantamount to going against the Yuan family.

The situation development minister was so disappointed that Wei You, who was originally interested in Yuan Xi, began to shake his head and sigh, obviously not expecting Yuan Xi to come to this hand. However, there is a little disdain in it, which is not enough for outsiders.

Of course, not everyone will be considerate of Yuan Xi, since some people don't want to offend Yuan Shao, naturally some people don't want to let Yuan Xi go. It's like Geng Wu, who has been looking for an opportunity, didn't plan to let Yuan Xi go so simply, but when he saw Guo Jia in his chest. It is also immediately known why Zhen Mi said that this poem is from Cao Zhi's mystery. In this case, where would he be polite, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhen Mi Bingxue is smart and kind-hearted, but I think this is extremely unfair to the prodigy Cao Zhi who was not present. ”

Guan and Geng Wu are old partners, so naturally they "know what they want to do when they hear the strings", so they also deliberately fanned the flames on the side and said: "What Lord Geng said is extremely true, this matter is related to fame and integrity, and it should not be taken lightly. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone echoed them. After all, reputation is extremely important in this day and age. And for a while, the atmosphere in the hall immediately became solemn. But Xin Ping, who was present, was a little anxious. Yuan Xi is the representative of Ben Chu Gong, how can he lose such a big face here, he peeked at Zhen Mi and saw that she had stopped making a sound, so he knew that Zhen Mi would never tell the truth, so he sneered and said: "What the two adults said is extremely true, but the most important thing about writing poetry is 'falling in love because of the situation', Cao Zhi is indeed a prodigy who has been rare for decades, but not necessarily the good poems in the world are all made by Cao Zhi alone." He turned his head to look at Zhen Mi and said respectfully: "Miss Zhen Mi, did you say yes?" ”

Zhen Mi nodded noncommittally. so that people can't figure out what he really means. But Guo Jia saw that Miss Zhen had made up her mind and was unwilling to mix.

However, Geng Wu was not a stupid person, and immediately laughed and said, "Lord Xin Ping is right, what about the Book of Songs? Of course, Chu Ci was not written by Cao Zhi, but we are talking about this poem that is now in the hands of Miss Zhen Mi! "I don't wait for Xin Ping to react. Geng Wu immediately turned his head to look at Guo Jia and continued: "Mr. Guo, why don't you come out and explain, so that the ignorant people present who know their mistakes and do not change their mistakes will know how shallow and ignorant their behavior of covering their ears and stealing the bell is!" ”

Although Guo Jia was a little helpless when he heard this, he didn't care. Although he didn't want to be in it, it was a good thing to take the opportunity to hit Yuan Xi, the key is that Guo Jia also understood that there was no need for him to be in Taoguang now. After all, after today's mission, everyone in Yecheng must know about it, and the current Jizhou officialdom is already clear. The people who support Han Fu and Yuan Shao are in a hurry, and the reason why the two sides have not acted rashly is that they have not received the support of Zhen, so they can only endure each other.

What's more, with Wei You, the envoy of Youzhou, on his side, it is even more necessary for Guo Jia to become stronger, otherwise how can he get the capital and bargaining chips that Wei You can pay attention to? Of course, you can also deter Zhen by the way to show your own ability.

So in front of everyone, Guo Jiashi Shiran walked out, smiled at Zhen Mi, and then glanced at Zhen Mi meaningfully, as if to tell Zhen Mi that he had seen through all her intentions. Seeing Guo Jia's eyes, Zhen Mi was stunned, and said secretly in his heart: How can this Guo Jia's temperament change greatly in just one afternoon, it turned out that he only felt that this Guo Jia was a good opponent with wit, but he didn't expect that now even people have become good-looking.

Since Zhen Mi was eight years old and her fame spread all over Jizhou, there have naturally been countless children of princes and princesses who have come to propose marriage, what kind of beautiful man has not seen it? But most of them are just "gold and jade, defeated in it", where have you ever seen a young man like Guo Jia who is dressed simply, but has a stronger than the prince?

Of course, this is not to say that Zhen Mi is very moved by Guo Jiafang, the reason is still in Cao Zhi's poems, the existing Cao Zhi's poems are paved, and then there is Guo Jia's surprise, these circumstances make her involuntarily attracted.

In fact, Guo Jia was young, he and Xu Ji were the same year, and he was younger than Xu Ji even in the month, although Guo Jia was already the recognized chief military advisor in Xu Ji's army left in Chen Liu, but Guo Jia was originally flying and unfettered, and he was also known as the "prodigal son". It's just that he is deeply influenced by Xu Ji, and he is also quite strict on weekdays, although he likes to joke, but once he encounters serious things, Guo Jia is extremely serious, and Gao Shun and others have always been unsmiling, which makes Guo Jia also restrain his prodigal son in Chen Liu. And since he became famous in Yingchuan, he defected to Xu Ji and has been serving in the army, and he rarely appears in front of people, so Guo Jia has gradually developed his own unique temperament. And the reason why Guo Jia reproduces his "prodigal" demeanor today is also because he understands that he must let go at this time. And once this realization comes to mind. Guo Jia's whole person became relaxed, and even his eyes had an evil smile that made people love and hate. With his plump and handsome appearance, he attracted the attention of all the female guests at the time.

And Guo Jiacai appeared. Xin Ping knew that something was wrong, but he couldn't stop Guo Jia's performance. Xin Ping, who was suppressed by Guo Jia in the council hall during the day, couldn't have any intention of stopping it at this time, so although he was extremely reluctant to see Guo Jia speak, all Xin Ping could do was sit and be a spectator.

Guo Jia glanced at Yuan Xi, who was full of shock and fear, and dusted his sleeves carelessly, as if there were many stories sealed on it, Guo Jia's movements were casual and free, which made many women's hearts move, where would Guo Jia take these eyes to heart? just used his usual lazy and frenzied tone to indulge: "Miss Zhen Mi said that this poem is Cao Zhi's handwriting, that's not wrong at all, what is 'sunset song'?" 'Singing' should be indulgence' 'one' and 'song'. Isn't the three words 'one', 'song', and 'day' together the word 'Cao'? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was moved.

Geng Wu and Min Chun also showed surprised eyes, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that they were worthy of being the messengers specially arranged by the horses. Although they had long known that Guo Jia must know the answer to the poem, they were still impressed by Guo Jia's agile thinking. Being able to see through the hidden meaning of the poem in such a short period of time is really admirable.

But Guo Jia didn't pay attention to the admiring gaze of everyone at all, as if this was a matter of course in his eyes, he continued to chuckle and said: "As for saying 'towering Gu Qiao', it is even simpler, since the tree is towering, it can be said to be tall and straight, and the straight wood synthesis is the word 'plant'." Isn't the combination of these two words still what Cao Zhi meant? It's just unknown how Yuan Xigongzi got this poem? You must know that Cao Zhi's poems will be known to the world as soon as they are published. But none of the Gao friends present in this poem have heard of it, it must be Cao Zhi's new work, dare to ask Yuan Xigongzi, where is Cao Zhi now? Don't let Miss Zhen Mi worry about her stomach! ”

Yuan Xi was stunned. Obviously, he was completely shocked by Guo Jia's analysis, and saw his mouth move, but he couldn't say a word.

Guo Jia narrowed his eyes. Turning his head to look in the direction of the southeast, he said to himself, "Could it be that I accidentally met Miss Zhen Mi in the hero building Cao Zhi this afternoon." Is there such a masterpiece? I'm afraid that he has now left Yecheng and gone straight to Guangling, right? ”

Yuan Xi's body shook. The already unhealthy face turned even paler, obviously because Guo Jia was completely on his mind.

Don't talk about Yuan Xi, Guo Jia said this, including Xin Ping and the guests present, there was nothing to say.

Who is this Guo Jia? It's so powerful!

Just when everyone present looked at Guo Jia attentively, Guo Jia already understood that tonight's birthday party had not really started, but it had already ended.

Yuan Xi's embarrassment and embarrassment, Zhen Mi's face and heartbeat, Cao Zhi's masterpiece and his own rhetoric have completely occupied all the excitement of this banquet, and the guests present at this time should already be happy, so that their purpose has been achieved. The result Guo Jia wants is to show the strong posture of Xu Ji that he represents, and once he does it, then his own strength will not be questioned.

And everyone who knows the situation in the world is also awakened from a dream at this time: Xu Ji, it's time to start making a move.

It's just that Guo Jia can't help but be a little sorry, she is really a little sorry for Zhen Mi for doing this, and she swept away the interest of her birthday party. But compared to Xu Ji's big event, how can this small apology stop Guo Jia's plan?

Yecheng, on the second day, Guo Jia and Chen Zhi came to the Hero Building after breakfast, maybe it was still early, and there were not many people.

The two of them entered the restaurant, and saw Zhang Gu standing there with a hundred times the spirit to direct his subordinates to work, and when they saw Guo Jia and Chen Dao, Zhang Gu's eyes lit up, and he strode forward, bowed down and saluted respectfully: "It turned out to be Mr. Guo and General Chen, I didn't expect to come so early today." ”

Guo Jia looked around and saw that the busy guys around him were still far away from the three of them, and then said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Zhang is early, I heard that the business of the Hero Building will be done every day until the second half of the night, and Shopkeeper Zhang can still stand here so energetically the next day after staying up late." It's really rare. ”

This is not special to others, and even has a kind of idle meaning. But when Zhang Gu heard it, he knew that the Tao was a special encouragement from Guo Jia, the chief who was second only to Xu Ji in Xu Ji's power, and Zhang Gu's eyes couldn't help but moisten a little when he heard this. However, he immediately smiled and concealed: "Mr. Guo has won the award, we business people are 'unprofitable and can't afford to be early', if we don't work hard, where are these small achievements today?" ”

Guo Jia naturally knew that Zhang Gu was being modest, and he didn't say much about it, but turned to smile and said: "Shopkeeper Zhang, I'm going to invite someone to drink here today, and I'm afraid that I'll be late and the room will be booked for someone else, so I came early, so there will be no problem, right?" ”

Zhang Gu was stunned. immediately understood that Guo Jia's words were said to those around him who might be arranged in the hero building, after all, with Guo Jia's current identity to be monitored on other people's territory, Guo Jia invited someone to dinner at noon, and coming now will inevitably arouse the suspicion of others, and the meaning of saying this now is naturally not to want others to have doubts about him, the boss of the hero building, and nodded at the moment: "The villain understands, then Mr. Guo and General Chen please come with me." ”

Guo Jia and Chen Zhi exchanged glances at each other, followed behind Zhang Gu, and walked upstairs.

Along the way, I met many stunning women. Seeing Chen Zhi and Guo Jia staring at each other in amazement, they were obviously attracted by the two, and it is no wonder that the two of them are rigid and soft. One is steady, one is profligate, and they complement each other together. Of course, masculinity is a thousandfold enhancement, and it will attract the attention of the opposite sex.

Only then did he enter Qi Jinglin's prepared room. Zhang Gu immediately closed the door and turned over to bow. Guo Jia had long expected that Zhang Gu would inevitably do this, so he grabbed Zhang Gu. He smiled and said, "Don't worry about those things, it's important to get down to business." ”

Zhang Gu nodded to show that he understood, in fact, this is the style inside the shadow, don't bother with useless sets, everyone has something to say, and go straight to the point. And this rule was formulated by Guo Jia in front of him, so Zhang Gu was not surprised.

After the three of them sat down, Guo Jia asked with a slap on his face, "What orders did the lord send recently?" ”

Zhang Gu thought for a moment and replied, "It's nothing special, just that I want to prepare to meet Mr. and General Chen." In the future, Mr. Guo will be fully responsible for the affairs of Jizhou. The only explanation is to drag the eyes of the people of the world, otherwise the actions of the lord are likely to encounter variables. ”

Guo Jia nodded, and then smiled: "That is the case, Zhang Gu, let's talk about how strong the clan's power is in Jizhou?" If you want to defeat them, what kind of strength should you have? ”

Zhang Gu obviously expected Guo Jia to ask this question, but this is also extremely normal, after all, Guo Jia only noticed the strength of the Zhen family yesterday, and Zhang Gu has been studying the Zhen family for a long time, when even calmly replied: "The Zhen family is the most powerful family in Jizhou, and it has an unfailing position in the officialdom and shopping malls, and the family originally had private soldiers. More importantly, through the understanding of the shadow, I dare to say that the Zhen family itself has more than 50,000 private soldiers, and only a lot more! ”

Chen Zhi's face began to become solemn when he heard this, he didn't expect the strength of the Zhen family to be so strong, you must know that it is a very expensive thing to support an army in this era, Xu Ji is the strongest, but there are only 30,000 people under his command, and Xu Ji was more or less an official at that time, and this Zhen family can reach 50,000 people, which is obviously not simple.

Zhang Gu paused and said: "However, the Zhen family is well aware of the truth of self-preservation, and has always been impartial in the affairs of Jizhou, and never leans towards any party, so most of the time, Han Fu is still very relieved about the Zhen family, and there are many things that will be done with the help of the Zhen family's strength." ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "I already feel this, for the Zhen family, their own interests are the most important, since Han Fu can open the door to them, then why don't they do it?" Sometimes it is worth contributing some strength to Han Fu, this is the so-called money and power transaction of the lord. ”

Zhang Gu also nodded and said: "That's true, for example, there have been many events on the ground in Jizhou recently, and Han Fu is ready to dispatch troops, which will almost drain the defense of Yecheng, but it seems that Han Fu doesn't care, just think about it, you know that it is because the Zhen family supports him that he dares to take such a risk." ”

Guo Jia was shocked when he heard this: "Han Fu wants to use troops? Let's talk about it. ”

Zhang Gu also knew that this matter was very important, and after hearing Guo Jia's inquiry, he immediately opened his mouth to explain: "I don't know much about this matter, not long after Mr. and General Chen left yesterday afternoon, Geng Wu and Guan Chun, the two lustful people, went and returned, and came to find Mei Ji to put out the fire, and the matter of sending troops was known at that time." ”

Guo Jia frowned deeply when he heard this, at this juncture, Han Fu suddenly wanted to send troops, the deep meaning of this was really intriguing, wasn't he worried about Yuan Shao? Or is there any reason why Han Fu has to send troops? Now that the situation in Yecheng is so chaotic, Han Fu's action may bring about another bigger storm, and Guo Jiazhi said that he must be prepared. (To be continued......)
