Chapter 180: Zhen (4)
But Guan Chun was so angry that his face turned pale because of Yuan Xi's bad attitude, and Geng Wu, who had a more impatient temper, was almost about to reprimand Yuan Xi, but was held by Guo Jia with one hand, signaling that there was no need to be angry. And Geng Wu looked at Yuan Xi's distant back, and suddenly said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, you don't take us in your eyes at all, do you treat my Jizhou law as nothing?" ”
Guo Jia secretly laughed in his heart when he heard this, but he shook his head and said: "Now that the situation is unclear, more things are better than less, wouldn't it be better for us to wait and see what happens?" Geng Wu snorted coldly when he heard this: "Mr. Guo is indeed reasonable, but I really don't look down on the arrogance of Gao Yan, if I don't teach him a lesson, wouldn't this kid think that I have no one in Jizhou?" He turned his head to look at Chen Zhi and said, "With General Shuzhi here, An can allow a small Gao Ran to be so arrogant?" ”
But Chen Zhi just smiled slightly, noncommittal. But in my heart, I said in my heart, I am not your military general in Jizhou, who can command me without Guo Jia's order?
But at this time, Guan Chun shook his head at Geng Wu and sighed: "Brother Geng is really angry, if General Zilong makes a move, then won't the identity of Mr. Guo and his party be exposed to Yuan Xi?" ”
Geng Wu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, obviously he didn't think about this problem, but Guo Jia shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter if General Shu Zhi makes a move or not, with Yuan Shao's strength in Yecheng, will no one tell us here?" ”
Geng Wu and Min Chun nodded when they heard this, and the latter praised: "It's still Feng Xiao's thoughtfulness, far better than me." ”
Guo Jia smiled indifferently.
Zhen Mi, who had been staring at Guo Jia, just stood very obediently and listened to a few people, although she didn't know the cause and effect of this matter, but she knew that she could get out today completely through the strength of a few people in front of her. Naturally, you can't just turn around and leave without saying a word.
It was after waiting for the three of them to speak for a while before they stepped forward to bow and said, "The little girl is polite." ”
Geng Wu and Guan Chun hurriedly returned the salute. There is no slacking off at all because the other party is a ten-year-old girl, and Guo Jia can certainly understand it. After all, Zhen Mi represents the entire Zhen family, and as officials in Jizhou, it is understandable that the two of them are respectful to her.
But Zhen Mi made her mean clearly in a joke, and after Zhen Mi said that she hoped to ask Geng Wu and Guan Chun to give her a chance to thank her. And Geng Wu and Guan Chun have long had the heart to make friends with Zhen, but they are helpless because Zhen has always adhered to neutrality and will not easily stand in line, and they have always been true to the two, and now with Zhen Mi personally thanking them, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that the two of them have been waiting for a long time, how can the two of them waste it?
Zhen Mi nodded silently, and suddenly turned around and walked towards the big man with scars who was injured on the ground just now because of his hand with Gao Ran, and personally visited the wound. There was a worried look on his face, and his handsome appearance was full of sadness, and he comforted him softly and softly, which made the big man grateful, and obviously he already had the idea of death in his heart.
So with the support of the special person sent by Zhen Mi, the big man left the hero building with tears in his eyes.
Everyone saw that Zhen Mi was young but did things decently, and they all praised her. Guo Jia is even more appreciative of this little girl's means of winning people's hearts, although these things are indeed a little inferior, but at Zhen Mi's age, she is still worthy of being admired by others.
Then. Zhen Mi's beautiful eyes, which could make all men in the world lose their souls, once again fell on Guo Jian's handsome face, and she whispered: "Is it okay for this Mr. Fengxiao in the mouth of Geng Wu to come?" ”
What Guo Jia didn't expect was that Zhen Mi turned the topic to himself, but in desperation, he could only nod and agree. Of course, Guo Jia has her own plans, and the little girl in front of her obviously can't have any good intentions. But there may not be malicious intentions, but she may be able to see Zhen's ability earlier.
And Zhen Mi couldn't help but have a flash of joy in her eyes when she saw Guo Jia nodding, but it disappeared immediately. Then he immediately bowed his head and said "please", and Zhang Gu, who had already returned at this time, also consciously led the way in front. The group was led upstairs by him.
Everyone in the hall saw that the excitement had already dissipated, and they were also happy and dispersed casually.
Guo Jia and others talked and laughed. So he went upstairs.
It's just that a few people didn't notice that in a corner of the hero building, two people were staring at their backs.
One is a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, with a fierce body and a capable face, while the other is a teenager of fourteen or fifteen years old. The end is extremely handsome.
However, at this moment, the Wenxiu young man who could fascinate thousands of people looked at Zhen Mi's back obsessively and muttered, "God! How fortunate is Cao Zhi, he can meet Luo Shen in the world, what do you want in this life? He turned his head to the young man and said, "Brother Cao Chun, what do you say?" ”
Cao Chun nodded absentmindedly, but he was thinking in his heart: Guo Jia? Chen? These two are not Xu Ji's people? Why is it here?
However, Cao Chun didn't understand that he had to give up, this was not something he needed to think about, and now Cao Chun knew that he had to rush to join Cao Cao, and these troublesome things could be left to the brother himself.
And when Guo Jia and the others followed Zhen Mi all the way into a fresh and elegant room full of faint unknown aromas, Liu Liang, a famous minister from Jizhou, had already been waiting for a long time.
This old man has a ruddy complexion, white beard and hair, and is wearing a plain white crane, fluttering like an earth fairy. Before entering the house, Geng Wu and Guan Chun repeatedly told Guo Jia, repeatedly explaining the high status of exile in Yecheng, in short, this person must not be offended, and he must be respectful. Guo Jia secretly glanced at Zhang Gu, only to see that this kid nodded slightly, obviously affirming the statements of the two. Guo Jia didn't say more, but also nodded to Geng and Guan to show that he understood.
As soon as the group entered the house, Liu Liang, the great minister sitting in the room, opened his originally closed eyes. The first thing I saw was naturally Zhen Mi, and I saw this old guy say to Zhen Mi who was about to explain with a smile in his eyes: "Everything has a cause and must have an effect, Mi'er, why do you need to explain anything?" Open your mind. Be spontaneous, this is your path......"
But Guo Jia was a little surprised. Geng Wu and the others beside him looked surprised, as if there was something hidden. He gave Zhang Gu a look for consultation, and Zhang Gu walked to Guo Jia's identity and explained in a whisper, it turned out that this Liu Liang has always kept a certain distance from anyone, but now he has such a close relationship with Zhen Mi, which is obviously an unexpected thing. However, Guo Jia didn't pay attention to these, he was carefully chewing on the meaning of Liu Liang's words, although he had always doubted more than believed in the Mandate of Heaven, but for some reason, Liu Liang in front of him gave people a feeling that they would involuntarily trust him. This is probably the so-called "magic stick" that Xu Ji said in his mouth.
But Zhen Mi doesn't care so much. When she saw Liu Liang, the appearance of the little adult disappeared immediately, and with a cheer, she threw herself into Liu Liang's arms, stroked her beard and patted her chest, making Liu Liang so that she couldn't close her mouth, how could she still have the demeanor of a fairy? Seeing that Guo Jia and the others looked at each other, the Zhen Mi in front of her was completely different from the expression of rejecting people thousands of miles away just now, so that people didn't know which one was her true face.
And Geng Wu, Guan Chun and Liu Liang are also half acquaintances. Naturally, I wouldn't just stand there stupidly without introduction like I met for the first time, and I would have sat down by myself a long time ago.
Seeing this, Guo Jia also reacted immediately, and as soon as Chen arrived, the two of them also sat down in an orderly manner. All other idlers were left outside.
Zhang Gu, who explained everything to Guo Jia, was not free, and was busy ordering everything to be cleaned up at this time. Kabuki is naturally impossible, after all, Liu Liang is here, not to mention Zhen Mi on the side. If you call Kabuki, then lustful people like Geng Wu and Guan Chun can see but can't eat in the face of beauty. Isn't it torture? It's better to be out of sight.
It took a long time for Zhang Gu to finish ordering everything, taking advantage of everyone's inattention. After Guo Jia gave a look, he confessed and retreated.
After seeing Zhang Gu retreat, Liu Liangcai smiled and said, "Mi'er, don't mess around, you haven't introduced your friends to the old man yet!" ”
Of course, Zhen Mi knew that Liu Liang was not referring to Geng Wu and Guan Chun, the dignified Governor of Ji and Don't Drive, even if it was a person like Liu Liang, who was idle and wild, he would not not know him. Hurriedly sat up straight, returned to the appearance of the little adult just now, and said to Liu Liang with a smile: "I don't know, I haven't asked the names of these two friends yet!" ”
Looking at Zhen Mi's quiet smile like a clear spring on the stone poured out by the bright moon among the pines, all the men in the room, including Chen Zhi, who was resolute and calm as if he was frozen, couldn't help but tremble, as if a burst of freshness permeated everyone's hearts. This fresh pavilion named "Tianyi" is really far away from the world, as if it has really become the boundless wide sleeves stretched by the lonely Chang'e in the vast sky, which is not like everything in the world, so that people do not know where they are in this world and the next life.
Liu Liang, a great minister who has seen everything in the world, is of course an exception, and Guo Jia is naturally not confused by this appearance. Guo Jia never forgot the four words that Xu Ji engraved on the paperweight, although those four words were quite biased, but at this moment Guo Jia felt that it was too reasonable, how could he be distracted by his mission? And Liu Liang looked at everyone's lost souls, but he smiled silently. However, when he looked at Guo Jia, the look of surprise in his eyes flashed, obviously seeing that Guo Jia was not obsessed with Zhen Mi's beauty.
And Chen Zhi was also different from ordinary people, he first sobered up, and then turned his head to look at Guo Jiaye, and immediately saw that this person was still acting on his own at this time, so he pushed it gently, and Guo Jia also stopped acting but pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Xiao Ke is not talented, Yingchuan Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao." ”
When Liu Liang heard this, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes again, and he said, "You are Guo Jia?" And Chen Zhi also replied solemnly on the side: "In the next place, it is Runan Chen to Chen Shuzhi." ”
At this time, Liu Liang looked at Guo Jia and asked lightly: "So Mr. Guo and General Chen are from Chen?" ”
Guo Jia didn't intend to hide it, and it was impossible to hide this matter at all, so when he heard this, he naturally replied with a smile indifferently: "Mr. is right." ”
Liu Liang turned his head and glanced at Zhen Mi, Zhen Mi's beautiful eyes flashed with a thoughtful look, obviously considering the purpose of Guo Jia and Chen's trip. And Guo Jia looked at the flashing light in Zhen Mi's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, this little girl is not simple, and she almost ignored Zhen Mi's identity. At all costs. After all, Zhen Mi was born in a big family, and he lost his father since he was a child. The burden of the whole family fell completely into the hands of her mother, Mrs. Zhang, and the two elder brothers were not successful. That's why Zhen Mi will meddle in family affairs at a young age, so naturally her vision and decisions are not ordinary, and she may not lose to a man in time, if she is regarded as an ordinary innocent child, it will be a big mistake, and she may have to suffer a big loss. But in fact, in dealing with Yuan Xi's problem just now, Zhen Mi had already behaved very decently, which was not at all like a ten-year-old child.
Guo Jia also understood that if he wanted to make a success in Yecheng, then it was imperative to trade with Zhen. If Yuan Shao is in front of him and fights for the most powerful family in Jizhou, then everything will be over. At that time, not only will Yuan Shao's strength be greatly increased, but he may also hand over his and Chen Zhi's lives in Jizhou, which is a big thing that cannot be done.
However, in this way, the first negotiation opponent he has to face is probably the first beauty in Jizhou in front of him - Zhen Mi. Thinking of this, Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was unlucky, now he didn't have a real understanding of Zhen Mi, facing this girl who was sometimes mature, cold, calm, and wise, and sometimes innocent, smart, and smiling, Guo Jia had a feeling of nowhere to start for the first time. This is by no means a good sign. What's more important is that now he has to face it, since Xu Ji has handed over the burden to himself, Guo Jia doesn't want to flee Jizhou with nothing to lose, so Zhen Mi is bound to cross this hurdle!
Guo Jia is very clear. Negotiation is like going to the battlefield, only by knowing oneself and knowing the other can one win a hundred battles, this Zhen and Geng Wu Guan Chun are not at all different. The latter had a clear position and was bent on preventing Yuan Shao from entering Jizhou. Of course, I and them can hit it off, but Zhen is different. No matter who sits in Jizhou in the future, the interests of the Zhen family will not be damaged at all, and anyone who wants to gain a foothold in Jizhou must look at Zhen's face and behave. This is also the barrier why Zhen Mi can not care about Yuan Xi at all, but this makes Guo Jia feel extremely tricky.
Now the situation in Jizhou is turbulent, and the advantages and disadvantages are changing rapidly, and it is obviously impossible for the Zhen family not to pay attention to the development of the situation for their own interests, but unfortunately Guo Jia did not expect Zhen's status in Yecheng or even in Jizhou before, and the shadow did not deliberately collect the news of these clans, which also led to Guo Jia not taking it into account at all from the beginning, but now that the situation has changed, Zhen has become the key to breaking the deadlock, so Guo Jia has to face such a battle without any preparation, However, it can also be seen how ambiguous Zhen's attitude is, obviously Zhen's plan is to take advantage of the fisherman, but how can Guo Jia make it so easy?
However, after figuring out Zhen's intentions, Guo Jia also determined his own strategy, to deal with Zhen's family, if it is just to lure him to benefit, it is obviously far from enough, after all, Zhen's status and value are on the table, Yuan Shao's move to marry is not good from the current point of view, but it is also decent, the question is what trick Yuan Shao has to make the Zhen family obey?
However, this itself has nothing to do with Guo Jia, even if it will affect Zhen's attitude, it is not a top priority but a matter in the future, and now Guo Jia knows that there is obviously no need to continue to delay here and waste time with these people, the reason is very single, and he is not qualified to negotiate with Zhen Mi at all now. In other words, Guo Jia didn't have any chance of winning at this time, so Guo Jia didn't want to lose his initiative, so he decided to avoid this trouble for the time being.
Thinking of this, Guo Jia smiled and said to Liu Liang and Zhen Mi: "Today I have a fate to meet Mr. Liu and Miss Zhen Mi, which is enough to comfort my life, I originally wanted to ask Mr. Liu for some words of destiny, in order to open the mouth, but Guo Jia traveled day and night, rushed for a few days, and his health has been bad since he was a child, and now he can't hold it anymore, I don't know if Guo Jia can take a step first......"
Geng Wu and Guan Chun were stunned when they heard this, Guo Jia was obviously still full of energy just now, why did he feel tired after a while and said that he couldn't support it? Geng Wu loves to think wildly, and he considers himself to be masculine, at this time, he crosses people's stomachs with his own heart, and he thinks that Guo Jia is disappointed that Zhen Mi doesn't value him much, so he decided to leave. He looked down on Guo Jia's temperament a little in his heart, but the next development of things was much beyond his expectations.
Zhen Mi Bingxue is smart, after hearing Guo Jia's words, she was stunned at first, and even though she understood Guo Jia's intentions, she smiled at Guo Jia meaningfully, but Zhen Mi's look made Guo Jia feel cold, this little girl obviously saw through her own intentions, it is difficult to say how difficult she is preparing for herself, and at the moment she is more and more afraid to underestimate the stunning beauty contained in this world.
After hearing Guo Jia's words, Liu Liang also smiled and nodded: "In this way, the old man will not force the two to stay." ”
Guo Jia also nodded when he heard this, stood up, and said to Geng Wu and Guan Chun with a smile: "Why don't the two brothers go with me?" Today is Miss Zhen Mi's birthday, we didn't bring any gifts to drink other people's wine, it was a bit rude, and presumably Mr. Liu Liang still has something to say to Miss Zhen Mi, I'm afraid it will be even more inconvenient to have me here. I see that the time is almost up, why don't the two brothers take me to the inn's quarters? (To be continued......)
