Chapter 182: Zhen (6)
It can be seen that Yuan Xi is the kind of person who likes to let others know that his status is superior, and even on this occasion, he has brought a large group of people back and forth. You must know that Lu Dao is on someone else's territory, but Guo Jia noticed that Gao Lan, who shot and injured people in the Hero Building in the afternoon, was not among them. But it's relieved to think about it, this Gao Ran only injured other people's families in the afternoon, and if he follows Yuan Xi to the banquet tonight, it will be too arrogant.
At this time, Yuan Xi was obviously extremely unhappy with what happened during the day, and he was glaring at the four of them viciously, and the resentment in his eyes was chilling.
But how could Geng Wu and Guan Chun be afraid of him? also looked at Yuan Xi without giving way, and there was also a provocative look in his eyes. For a moment, the air was filled with the smell of imminent gunpowder.
Guo Jia was very relaxed at this time, and even watched the development of the situation in front of him with a smile, obviously not the slightest intention of interfering at all. Suddenly, Chen Zhi came over and whispered in Guo Jia's ear: "Sir, if you really do it, should I make a move?" Hearing this, Guo Jia turned his head and smiled at Chen Zhi and whispered: "Uncle Zhi can rest assured, how can Geng Wu and Guan Chun be so impulsive, Yuan Xi is not stupid, and the Zhen family is not an idle person, even if the three parties have more grievances, they will not pick and do it at this time." You're ready to enjoy the banquet with peace of mind. ”
Chen Zhi is also a smart person, he can understand it at one point, and he was immediately stunned when he heard the words, so he nodded, consciously stepped aside and stood still, no longer speaking, obviously ready to play with Guo Jia.
At this time, Geng Wu finally sneered and said, "Isn't this Yuan Xigongzi?" This afternoon, Yuan Ergongzi left in a hurry, and the official didn't have time to say hello to Gongzi. What a rude! The irony in the words is self-evident, which means that Yuan Xi has no tutor.
Guan Chun also said with a strange yin and yang on the side: "That's true. I don't know if the second son of Lu Dao Yuan is coming to Yecheng, it is really a long way to go! The two ridiculed Yuan Xiqi. The cooperation is very tacit. Guo Jia couldn't help it.
At this time, no matter how stupid Yuan Xi was, he also heard the irony in the words of the two, but Yuan Xi was from the Yuan family after all, and he was always a little clever, and he was obviously no stranger to this kind of rhetorical occasion, and he was also able to deal with it at this time, and after hearing the words of Geng Wu and Guan Chun, he also replied coldly: "The two adults are polite, what kind of person is I, Yuan Xi?" The two adults were worried, if the father was lucky enough to come to Yecheng on a different day. If Lord Changshi and Lord Don't Drive are still unharmed, you might as well be hospitable. ”
Guo Jia and Chen Zhi were stunned when they heard this, obviously they didn't expect that this smiling Yuan Xi could still speak such a wonderful counterattack language, although Yuan Xi's words were polite, but they were full of intimidation, and they were full of Yuan Shao's confidence that he would finally be able to seize Jizhou, and Geng Wu and Guan Chunqiqi's faces changed when they heard it.
Geng Wu was anxious, and immediately snorted coldly, and was about to sneer at each other. But I heard someone say in a loud voice: "It turned out to be Lord Changshi and Master Don't Drive, Zhen Yan has lost his distance." ”
When everyone heard this, they turned their heads and saw a young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old hurrying over with several generals.
This young man was extremely weak-looking. His face is pale, almost the same as Guo Jia, but his face is slightly mediocre. is obviously not as handsome as Guo Jia's Fengshen, he belongs to the type that can't be found in the pile. However, the only thing that stands out is that the look in his eyes is quite flexible, which gives the impression of some intelligence.
When Geng Wu saw this person, he whispered to Guo Jia: "This person is Sister Zhen's second brother. Zhen Yan is also a rare figure in Jizhou, but because he is frail and sick, he can only help take care of family affairs at home. In addition, Miss Zhen's eldest brother is very unpresentable, otherwise which round will Miss Zhen Mi be to assist Mrs. Zhang in taking care of the Zhen family's huge estate? ”
Guo Jia nodded in understanding. At this time, Zhen Yan had already come to everyone's eyes, first said hello to Geng Wu and Guan Chun, and then looked at Guo Jia and Chen Zhi, and looked at them before speaking: "This must be Mr. Guo Jia who is never forgotten by my sister, this must be General Chen Zhi." Thanks to the two faces, it really makes my Zhen Mansion shine. ”
Guo Jia didn't mean anything about this, if Zhen Mi didn't tell his family what happened to him today, it would be a strange thing.
At this time, Yuan Xi saw that Zhen Yan was only polite to Geng Wu and others, and completely put himself aside, so he hurriedly stepped forward and greeted Zhen Yan's second uncle in his heart with what he thought was the most elegant posture and tone: "I am Yuan Xi of the Yuan family in Runan, and I have seen the second brother Zhen." ”
Guo Jia and Chen Zhi glanced at each other, and Gu saw the smile on each other's faces, but naturally their faces were a little strange, so the two had to face the sky to admire the stars.
Yuan Xi's urine sex is really speechless, and he actually called Zhen Yan the second brother, which is simply incomprehensible. The Zhen family has no relationship with you Yuan Xi now, it's good for you to take the initiative to consciously include yourself in the Zhen family, and your face is really thick.
Zhen Yan was also a little daze when she heard Yuan Xi's words, obviously she didn't expect this Yuan Xi to be so cheeky, but fortunately, she heard some general information about this Yuan Xi's son from her sister's mouth, so she quickly reacted and replied: "It turned out to be Yuan Ergongzi, Zhen Yan has offended a lot, but this second brother Zhen, I don't dare to be, otherwise I will be scolded by my mother for not understanding etiquette and rules." ”
Guo Jia was quite appreciative of this answer, and with a few fluttering words, he brought Yuan Xi's unique set of words in the world.
Looking at Yuan Xi's hippie smiling face, it seemed that there was something to say, Zhen Yan had a big headache, obviously afraid that this Yuan Xi would say something that would make him unable to resist, so he hurriedly said to everyone: "Everyone has been standing in the windy field for a long time, it is better to go in early, although it is spring now, it is still colder in the end." ”
Everyone promised to follow Zhen Yan into the mansion, although Geng, Guan and Yuan Xi were incompatible, but in the Zhen family's one-third of an acre, no one was willing to act rashly, after all, the Zhen family was the object of competition between the two sides. It's too late to curry favor, how can Zhen be embarrassed on Zhen Mi's birthday?
However, Guo Jia saw from it that Zhen was really deep and unfathomable. Let's take Zhen Yan's attitude towards Yuan Xi as an example, there is no difference in the slightest because Gao Ran injured the Zhen family's generals this afternoon. Even the generals behind him did not leak the slightest dissatisfaction in their demeanor.
But in this way, Guo Jia felt more and more that it was really difficult to deal with. Looking at the humble attitude of the people around him towards the Zhen family, Guo Jia realized that he may feel the need to change his attitude towards the Zhen family, after all, he is not asking for Zhen now, but wants to cooperate with Zhen, this is obviously not necessary to please Zhen like others, but should be tough when necessary, otherwise how can the Zhen family take themselves to heart?
While they were thinking, they came to the hall.
The hall in this Zhen mansion is extremely wide, and if you are alone here when it is usually empty. There must be a feeling of emptiness in the wilderness. But at this time, there is a feeling of overcrowding. Perhaps the Zhen family had already expected this situation, and did not adopt the two-seat system of ordinary banquets, but placed rectangular tables in many places in the hall that had recently been passed down from Chen Liu, and they were filled with various fruits, which were mouth-watering.
Zhen Yan turned around at this time and said to Guo Jia with a smile: "Mr. Guo must be very familiar with this banquet method, right?" This is my sister and your county to Yecheng businessmen to do business learned, my sister likes novelty by nature, see some things that have never been seen before and can't help but try, today is her birthday. Of course, everything was designed according to what she wanted. ”
Guo Jia was already wary of Zhen Mi at the moment, so he was noncommittal to Zhen Yan's words, but only politely complimented: "Miss Zhen Mi is very smart, Guo Jia is very admired." ”
Zhen Yan smiled: "Mr. Guo has won the award." By the way, it will take a while for the runaway sister to come out of the boudoir, so you might as well feel free. I'm going to meet some friends at the door. ”
Everyone hurriedly said that it didn't matter, and Zhen Yan smiled and left. However, Zhen Yan has just walked on the front foot. Yuan Xi and Geng Wu immediately parted ways and went to one side.
Geng Wu and Guan Chun were naturally busy greeting dignitaries from all walks of life in Jizhou. Naturally, Guo Jia was put aside, and Guo Jia was also happy, so he also pulled Chen Zhi to find a corner to sit down, and leisurely watched the people in the hall come and go.
"You're Chen?" Chen Zhi and Guo Jia's ears suddenly heard voices.
Guo Jia looked up, and saw a big man standing in front of him at some point, this big man had a calm bearing, a gloomy face, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, but his height was only half a head lower than Chen Zhi, but his body was much stronger than Chen Zhi, which made people think of Dian Wei irrepressibly. However, the feeling of this big man is not the fierce and fierce killing feeling of Dian Wei, but a cold feeling, which is quite uncomfortable and wants to avoid it.
Where will Chen take him to heart? The expression was naturally neither humble nor arrogant: "It is below, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”
The big man looked Chen Zhi up and down a few times, and said with a smile: "I am the nephew of Lord Han Fu of Jizhou Thorn History, Han Meng." ”
Chen Zhi's eyes flashed, and he nodded with a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Han Meng, I don't know what to do with Chen Zhi?" ”
Guo Jia heard Han Meng's name at this time, and knew that the person in front of him was one of the famous generals in Hebei, and he was a master of the same level as Zhang He Gaolan. It's just that I don't know what the purpose of this Han Meng came to find Chen Dao at this time.
Han Meng glanced at Guo Jia and looked back at Chen Zhi and replied: "I heard that kid Zhang He said about you, I heard that you have good martial arts, I didn't expect you to appear in Jizhou so soon, why don't you and I find a place to learn from each other one day?" This Han Meng's words are ordinary, but they are full of unkindness, as if they have something to do with Chen Zhi.
If it is in normal times, although Chen Zhi, an opponent like Han Meng, cannot be said to be unwanted, but it can be regarded as a very happy thing, but this Han Meng in front of him does not know what Lu Dao is quite unfriendly to himself because of what he says, and what to say about the competition, I am afraid that it will become a battle of life and death, if he accidentally kills this Han Meng, it will be more than worth the loss, who knows what Lu Dao Han Meng will do after losing his nephew? At the very least, it will cast a shadow on the cooperation between the two sides, so it is better to have more than less. And this will inevitably cause extraneous complications, and the current situation is so old that I don't want to delay a little longer and won't waste a trace of energy.
And Chen Zhi made up his mind and was about to open his mouth to refuse, only to hear Han Meng say again: "I heard that the two of you are going to live in my Jizhou for a while. And if you want to go to our army, you will guide those soldiers in Jizhou who are not in the climate, and then I will learn Brother Zhao Yun, how smart are you? ”
Guo Jia listened. Immediately understood what was going on. So he smiled on the side: "General Han Meng's news must have been heard from others, why don't you personally ask Lord Assassin?" The purpose of General Chen Zhi's visit to Jizhou this time is to protect me, a weak scholar who is powerless. Even more under the strict order of my lord, not to leave me half a step, General Han Meng still don't embarrass General Chen Zhi, and General Chen Zhi has always been low-key, and he is also good at it, why should Jizhou Sergeant use my Chen Liu's general to interfere? ”
Guo Jia's words made Han Meng stunned for a moment, and then thought deeply, and after half a sound, a smile appeared on his cold face and said: "Han Meng understands what Mr. Guo means, so he won't disturb the two of you in my leisure time in Jizhou." He turned his head to Zhao Yun and said, "But seriously." General Chen Zhi, one day we really have to have a good fight, let me see what General Chen Zhi's skills are undoubtedly like. ”
At this time, these words are still the content just now, but they are less saber-rattling, but have a sense of sincere invitation.
Chen Zhi also changed his tone and smiled when he heard this: "I don't count this matter, if there is a fate in the future, it will be a great pleasure in life for you and me to have a discussion." ”
When Han Meng heard this, he also smiled and turned away.
Chen Zhi also sat down and smiled at Guo Jia: "It's still Mr. Clever, and he can resolve this big trouble so easily." ”
Guo Jia smiled casually: "This Han Meng is a martial artist in the end. As soon as he spoke, he revealed the details, he came to find Uncle Zhi You to fight at the root of the root is obviously the result of someone else's provocation, obviously that person made Han Meng think that you are arrogant and arrogant, and you didn't take the Jizhou Army in your eyes at all. Coupled with the competitive mentality of the martial artist, this matter is of course natural. ”
Chen Zhi also smiled when he heard this: "Frankly speaking, I really want to compete with this Han Meng." However, in this way, I am afraid that the consequences will be a little difficult to clean up. ”
Guo Jia looked at Chen Zhi and smiled: "Uncle Zhi might as well talk about it." ”
Chen Zhi said with a smile: "According to Mr., if Han Meng fights with me." There must be resentment, and it must be a situation where death will not be settled. If I am defeated, not only will Mr. be in danger, but the lord and Jizhou will break up immediately, and then there will be no possibility of cooperation and room for turnaround, with the lord's temperament and friendship with the military advisor, he will definitely raise troops to take revenge, this is just a cheap Yuan Shao, even if the lord can bear the anger for a while, Han Fu will take the initiative to surrender Yuan Shao because he is afraid. ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Uncle Zhi is right, I was afraid of this to stop the two of you from competing." Chen Zhi replied with a smile when he heard this: "Actually, I really didn't take this Han Meng to heart, I can cut him down the horse within ten moves, but I am afraid that the result of this will be the same as the consequences caused by my killing, Han Fu will also fall to Yuan Shao, then the gain will outweigh the loss." ”
Guo Jia looked at Chen Zhi and said solemnly with a smile: "It's a pity that we can't hold on to Han Meng and ask him who he is talking about Zilong, you didn't take Jizhou in your eyes." And it will startle the snake, it is better to let Han Meng want to go by himself. ”
Chen Zhi was also stunned when he heard this: "No wonder the military advisor doesn't ask much." Guo Jia nodded, thinking that it would be a pleasure to talk to a smart person, but it seems that the enemy has already begun to deal with him, and these small conspiracies are one after another, although these will not stump him, but they are quite annoying, and now it seems that it is time to fight back appropriately.
Sometimes, friends don't come in solidarity, but in blows. The same is true for Han Fu and Geng Wu and Guan Chun, and the same is true for Zhen!
At this moment, Geng Wu's voice came again, "Fengxiao, come on, I'll introduce you to a good friend." The tone was full of anxiety, Guo Jia and Chen Zhi sighed unlucky, but they didn't expect to be disturbed after being idle for a while.
Chen Zhixin reluctantly stood up from his seat and said to Guo Jia: "Military advisor, who do you think Geng Wu's good friend will be?" Guo Jia smiled bitterly at Chen Zhi when he heard this: "Who else can there be?" I can use the head as a guarantee, it must be the Wei You sent by Liu Yu, this Geng Wu is really anxious! Wei Yu can be found from the crowd so quickly, it's good, I'll see you sooner or later anyway, and it's not too late. ”
While talking, Geng Wu and Guan Chun walked over with a big fat man.
Guo Jia and Chen Zhi looked at the big fat man who should be Wei You in amazement, they had never seen such a fat person: the waist circumference was comparable to the three-legged tripod outside the Son of Heaven's court, but the originally big nose was completely immersed in that fat face, and it was still the cold season of spring, but this Wei You's face was already full of sweat, like a layer of lard. Walking on the aisle looks very vain, and I don't know if it is the result of obesity or excessive wine.
Guo Jia couldn't help laughing, turned his head and whispered to Chen Zhi: "No wonder Geng Wuke found him so quickly, if he changed me, I'm afraid it would be faster!" Chen Zhi also showed a smile of understanding.
When Guo Jia turned around, the three of them had already arrived at his side, and Guo Jia didn't wait for Geng Wu to speak, he had already smiled and said, "This must be Mr. Wei You from Youzhou, right?" The younger brother is Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, the envoys sent by the horses. In the future, you and I will have to be closer to each other. (To be continued......)
