Chapter Ninety-Nine: Return to Guo Jia's Letter

Hearing Liang Xi's words, Xu Ji couldn't help but be stunned, he really didn't expect that Liang Xi had actually resigned, but then he reacted to it, but he was afraid that as Le Jin said, Liang Xi did have the idea of working for him, and he was waiting for Xu Ji's solicitation. Thinking of this, Xu Ji couldn't help but feel a little emotional, he almost missed such a talent.

"I don't want Mr. Ziyu to resign, so Wen Lie dares to ask Mr. to help me." Xu Ji's reaction was very fast, since he knew that he had almost missed a virtuous talent, and now that he had another opportunity, he would not let go of anything.

For this sentence, Liang Xi just smiled but did not give a clear answer, he stretched out his hand and motioned Xu Ji to go in with him, Xu Ji naturally did not disobey, and he was also extremely curious about Liang Xi's plans. Under the leadership of Liang Xi, Xu Ji and Le Jin came to a pavilion, Liang Xi stopped and looked back and said: "Although it is gradually entering early winter, it does not prevent me from warming wine to entertain Wen Lie, come and come, please taste the good wine hidden in my private cellar." ”

Seeing that Liang Xi didn't seem to want to say something immediately, Xu Ji also sat down obediently, Le Jin was still standing sideways, Liang Xi saw this situation and smiled: "Why don't you sit down and drink together?" Wen Yeol doesn't mind, right? As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Xu Ji.

Xu Ji nodded and smiled: "Naturally, I don't mind, Wen Qian, just sit down and drink together." Le Jin saw that his lord had also spoken, and there was no reluctance, so he sat at the last seat. After the three of them sat down, Liang Xi personally lifted the wine jug from the simmering charcoal stove and poured wine for Xu Ji and Le Jin, and then filled a glass for himself before raising his glass and said, "Wen Lie is curious why I didn't answer you?" ”

Xu Ji also raised his glass and said: "I am indeed a little puzzled, I wonder if Mr. Ziyu is willing to solve my doubts?" Liang Xi said with a smile: "Since Wen Lie came to Chen County half a month, I knew that Wen Lie had the intention of recruiting me, but I didn't know what Wen Lie's ambition was at that time. I don't know if Wen Lie has the strength to be worthy of my current dedication, so I avoided it. However, Wen Ruo once wrote a letter to me. Speaking of Wen Yeol as a man with great ambitions, it seems to be quite similar to my political views. There is a little bit of intention, but it is still necessary to avoid the suspicion of Chen Jun Taishou, and now Wen Lie has already seized his own self, presumably he has also planned for the next step, it is the time to send charcoal in the snow, it is to learn that Wen Lie won his own Wu After I resigned from the post of the master of the book to Wen Lie came, and now Wen Lie really came. Saying this, Liang Xi seemed to be a little dry-mouthed, Xu Ji got up and poured wine for him, Liang Xi raised his glass and drank it all and continued: "Yesterday's encounter between Dao Zuo can be said to be very pleasant. It's just that Wen Lie doesn't seem to be in a hurry to solicit, Xi Yi is a slight gaffe, but why did Wen Lie suddenly change his mind of coming here thousands of miles? Can you explain? ”

Regarding Liang Xi's question, Xu Ji said with an apologetic smile: "It is indeed what Wen Lie said before, I can't bear to see Chen Jun lose a good official, and I don't want to ruin Chen Jun's good situation because of Wen Lie's own selfishness for that illusory ideal." Hearing this answer, Liang Xi couldn't stop laughing: "Wen Lie is a little worried, how can the huge Chen County change greatly because of the absence of one Liang Xi?" What's more, how could Wen Lie be his own selfishness? Wen Ruo explained to me in the letter. Wen Lie's ideal is the hope of tens of millions of poor disciples, if one day it can come true, it is an eternal merit in the annals of history, and my generation should work hard for it! ”

This was said categorically, and Xu Ji was a little shocked. This also made Xu Ji's thoughts on Liang Xi change dramatically. Liang Xi is obviously not only a Confucian scholar with political talents, but also a person who has the world in mind, and is even one step ahead of Xu Ji. There are quite a few scholars from the poor family in Chen County as officials, and most of these are promoted by Liang Xi. This is enough to show that Liang Xi's political thought is undoubtedly close to Xu Ji's, but Liang Xi is closer to a part of Xu Ji's thought.

"Mr. Ziyu taught a lesson. It was Wen Lie who was confused. I have seen a lot of killing these days, and I am a little depressed, but today I heard Mr. 's words, as if I had just woken up from a big dream. Thanks a lot. This is Xu Ji's psychological words, he has been spending these days in the expedition, and the expedition only brings killing, maybe he has a valid reason, but killing is killing, there is no excuse to escape these things he did, and how many people have been displaced because of Xu Ji, and how many people have died because of him? Whenever I think of this, Xu Ji will have a feeling of palpitations, but today's words from Liang Xi alerted him, what Xu Ji wants to do is not just to survive for himself, he has not forgotten his dream.

"Now, what is Wen Lie's ideal?" Liang Xi calmly accepted Xu Ji's thanks and asked calmly.

Xu Ji looked up at the sky with white clouds floating outside the pavilion and said: "When he was ignorant, Wen Lie once made a grand wish, delusional to establish a heart for heaven and earth, a life for the people, a continuation of the saint's education, and peace for all generations. Later, when he avoided Jiangxia, he knew that it was just an ethereal extravagant hope. Later, after the battle of Changshe and Wancheng, I felt that human life was cheap in the troubled world, and the society was reversed, and it was decided that the world was already terminally ill and difficult to treat for a long time. It was because I wanted to find another way to change, so I asked General Zhu Jun to say that I thought it was released, but after taking office, I went through the difficulties of Yuxian County, and Zhang Miao's peeping was already a difficult life, and now I almost lost my life in a war, and I don't know how to save this world. Speaking of this, Xu Ji was already a little difficult to support, Le Jin hurriedly stepped forward and patted Xu Ji's back to Liang Xi and explained: "Some time ago, the lord was attacked by a traitor in his own country and injured his heart, so he lost his temper, and please don't blame Mr. Although Xu Ji looked at the injured limbs last time, it was just because the vital point was protected by iron armor, in fact, there were a lot of bruises on his chest.

Liang Xi also nodded when he heard this, saying that he would not be surprised, Xu Ji finally eased up, and smiled with an ugly face: "Mr. Fang Cai asked Wen Lie what his ambitions are now?" Liang Xi nodded.

Xu Ji said softly: "What I want now, there are tens of thousands of mansions, and the poor people in the world are happy." After that, he reluctantly got up and saluted Liang Xi and said: "Senior brother, Wen Lie farewell, I have a lot of affairs, and someone needs to deal with it, forgive the junior brother for the crime of disrespect." After saying that, he motioned for Le Jin to walk with him.

But Liang Xi, who heard Xu Ji's words, stopped him, Xu Ji turned his head to look at Liang Xi, and saw the gentleman smile and said, "Won't Wen Lie wait for me?" Xu Ji smiled and said, "If the senior brother is willing, naturally there is no need for Wen Lie and others." But if you don't want to, it's useless to force it. ”

After saying this, the two looked at each other and smiled. It's all in plain sight. So in the group of people in Huanyuan County, there was more Liang Xi. And Xu Ji's senior brother's family is still in Zhe, and he plans to move to Chenliu next time he returns to his hometown.

In fact, the reason why Liang Xi agrees with Xu Ji is also the sentence "There are thousands of mansions, and the poor people in the world are happy", Liang Xi is a person who has experienced the warmth and coldness of human feelings, he is not the kind of hot-blooded young man with unrealistic dreams, he is already standing in his old age, and what he holds at this age is just doing his best to seek the well-being of the people, and this realistic ideal is also more useful than illusory ambitions.

Because Xu Ji's injury had not healed, he traveled a long distance, and his excitement was even more serious, and his injury was even more serious, and he couldn't withstand the bumps along the way. The original five-day journey took nearly ten days to arrive at Jiwu, but fortunately, because he recruited Liang Xi, Xu Ji was in a much better mood, otherwise he might not have said what would happen along the way.

Before the group arrived at Jiwu, Xu Ji saw the person sent by Xun You, who brought Guo Jia's letter.

Of course, Xu Ji has not forgotten to plan his next move in Xiangyi now, but the letter at this time can't help but make him a little worried, although it is not clear what Guo Jia said in the letter, but Xu Ji is faintly uneasy, or this is not good news.

And in reality? Guo Jia's affairs in Xiangyi were indeed extremely unsmooth. Even after arriving, he couldn't find a starting point for several days, and the complexity of the relationship between the wealthy gentry in Xiangyi was far greater than that of Yingyin, which gave Guo Jia a headache, even if there were some points from time to time that were mentioned by Xi Zhong, there was still no substantial progress. And in Xiangyi, Guo Jia had to be careful. What's more serious is that Guo Jia has no way to get close to the power hierarchy at all, whether it is to make money or want to intervene through some means, he can't do it, which makes Guo Jia very confused.

Xi Zhong didn't have any idea about the predicament he encountered. The only joy is that Bocai has finally set up a shelf of shadows, although it is still far from controlling the intelligence of Xiangyi. However, he was still able to find out a lot of useful information, but he lacked a way to intervene in the power class, and Guo Jia did not have any way to disturb the pool of Xiangyi. In this way, his purpose of coming to Xiangyi was undoubtedly a failure.

"Fengxiao, it's futile to go on like this, why not change your thinking? Maybe something would be more useful. Xi Zhong looked at Guo Jia's distressed appearance, so he said. Guo Jia didn't take Xi Zhong's words to heart, this was just words to comfort him, Guo Jia had tried all the ways he could, but unfortunately Xiangyi seemed to be really an iron plate, Guo Jia couldn't find a way, in the final analysis, his strength was weak, otherwise Xu Jida wouldn't have to use Guo Jia's hard work. Of course, Guo Jia didn't blame Xu Ji, it was not easy for Xu Ji to lay down this piece of territory today, as a son of a poor family, it was not an easy thing to sit on two counties in just a few months.

"Zhicai, why do you say these useless words to comfort me? The situation in Xiangyi is obvious to all, if there is really any way, how can I be so distressed? Speaking of this, Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh, and then said: "Now Guo Jia is only afraid that he will live up to the expectations of the lord." He lowered his head in frustration.

Xi Zhong also didn't know how to speak, but just picked up his wine jug and drank it. Both of them have reached the point where they have nothing to do, of course, this is not that Guo Jia and Xi Zhong are incapable, but they are really the resources they can use. The so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, and now the situation in Xiangyi is like Qingshui, once they have a change or too big a move, it will only cause disaster, this is really not a situation that can be rash. And just when the two of them were at a loss, Bo came in.

After the ups and downs of Bo Cai has now become moody, seeing these two dejected looks is only a little surprised, and then return to the eagle as usual, he came to see Guo Jia this time to pass on the news that his ghost has into, and seeing Bo Cai come in, Guo Jia is finally no longer depressed, and asked with a strong spirit: "It turned out to be Yuan Yi, I thought it was Wen Rang, this reckless guy." With that, Qiang got up with a smile and walked in front of Bo Cai.

Bo Cai respectfully saluted Guo Jia, even if this military advisor did not do anything in Xiangyi, but this did not affect Bo Cai's respect for him, not to mention that the person in front of him was the best friend of his own lord, just saying that the real person in charge of this trip was enough to make him treat him respectfully, and Bo Cai did not think that Guo Jia had no talent based on the current incident alone. In fact, who thought Xu Ji was capable before he gained fame? Such a chaotic thought in his heart did not hinder Bocai's answer: "Yuan Yi learned the news today, saying that it is the order of Xiangyi County, which seems to have the intention of hunting. And the Wang family in the city seems to have some movements, but their subordinates have not been able to find out the details. After saying this, Bocai stood aside and waited for Guo Jia's orders.

And after Guo Jia listened to Bo Cai's words, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. Although Bo Cai stood with his head down, he peeked at Guo Jia, naturally he did not miss this change, and he secretly said in his heart, the sacrificial wine seemed to be about to make a move. And Guo Jia did find something interesting from the news of Bocai, this county order surnamed Liao does not seem to be a good character, the Wang family of Xiangyi just made a move, it coincided with the day when the county commander went out of the city to hunt, I am afraid that there are a lot of articles in it, Guo Jia can be sure that this county commander is only afraid of not dealing with the Wang family, so once the Wang family has some big moves, they must take advantage of the fact that the Liao county order is not in the city. This may be an opportunity to cut in on your own. Thinking of this, Guo Jia Huoran turned to Bo Cai and said, "Yuanyi, keep an eye on the movements of the Wang family, and also, you immediately call Wen Rang to see me." Bo Cai then took the order and left.

Xi Zhong behind Guo Jia said with a smile: "Prodigal son, it seems that you are really the way to the sky, and this is a chance to be sent to the door." Guo Jia only smiled faintly at Xi Zhong's ridicule but didn't care, in fact, Guo Jia was secretly glad that he asked Xu Ji for Bocai, otherwise he was afraid that it would be too late to find out the news, as for why Bocai could find out this information. Of course, Guo Jia understands that since arriving in Xiangyi, Bo Cai really hasn't had a moment of rest, and has been busy with the affairs of the shadow almost day and night, and now it's finally time to harvest. The news came too timely, and Guo Jia finally found his time to cut in, and he aimed at the two sides that seemed to be in dispute. Guo Jia doesn't care if he gets the result he wants from either of them, and it doesn't really matter. As long as you can get the results you want, these two are no different for Guo Jia.

Of course. The best result is to be able to use Liao Yu's right to the county order is undoubted, but this difficulty is far greater than winning the trust of the Wang family, Guo Jia's consideration is very simple, if he seeks Liao Yu's help, he will undoubtedly have to face him directly, but this can sit firmly in the county order in Xiangyi with such a complex power composition for several years, this guy's scheming city government will not be so simple, and the Wang family does not need to directly face the head of the Wang family, he can seek the members of it to start. And the next step is to find the target, do what he likes and gain trust, which is a simple matter for the scheming Guo Jia. Of course, this is also indispensable for the help of the Shadow.

Regarding his current situation, Guo Jia wrote a letter to hand over to Xun You for the Phantom Herald, because he was not sure whether he was safe or not, and he couldn't grasp Xu Ji's next move, so he still handed it over to Xun You and then handed it over to Xu Jilai's safety.

And when Xu Ji read these Xu Ji described in Guo Jia's letter, he also had palpitations, if Guo Jia worked in vain in Xiangyi, his plan would have to be changed again, and Zhang Miao would still give him so much time? Obviously not, Zhang Miao has almost completely stabilized the situation in the north of Chen Liu, the next obvious step is to clean himself up so as not to form a tail that will not fall, and Xu Ji must have enough strength before Zhang Miao makes a move, this is not a joke, Xu Ji is very sure that Zhang Miao will attack him, because Xu Ji has not received an order from Zhang Miao for two months, as Chen Liutaishou, Zhang Miao obviously should not be like this, then the only reasonable explanation is that Zhang Miao no longer needs his own southern superintendent, He might even have found a replacement, and Xu Ji would never allow this to happen.

But fortunately, there will not be much risk in the near future, now that it is almost the New Year, presumably Zhang Miao will not start a war at this time, but after the spring ploughing in the coming year, Zhang Miao will inevitably start his own work as the southern governor, Xu Ji is very sure that Zhang Miao will never allow to continue to grow bigger, and he now has a faint intention to divide Chen Liu with Zhang Miao, Zhang Miao will never accept this situation as a Taishou, and I am afraid that the next thing will be to ask himself to go to Chenliu County to report on his work, Xu Ji will certainly not throw himself into the net, Then Zhang Miao will inevitably take advantage of this to start the war. Of course, even if Zhang Miao's next behavior is expected, Xu Ji can't stop it, after all, he is very subordinate, and the innate disadvantage is something he can't make up, and as for Xiangyi, Xu Ji has already made up his mind that before the spring ploughing in the coming year, he will definitely take Xiangyi, and then he will have enough capital to confront Zhang Miao, and taking the richest Xiangyi in Chen Liu can also greatly supplement Xu Ji's already dry treasury.

And Guo Jia also said in the letter that he can guarantee that Xiangyi will be chaotic when the spring of the next year comes, and winter is coming, Xu Ji also plans to press the front of his soldiers and have a good New Year.

By the way, Xu Ji also plans to go back to his hometown to visit his parents who he hasn't seen for many years, he has been living abroad for many years, in order to avoid implicating the two old people, so he has hardly returned to that small village, although Guo Jia occasionally sends people to visit, but Xu Ji is still not at ease after all.

And Xu Ji, who has been displaced all year long, actually wants to rest steadily, and there are more and more troublesome things waiting for him in the coming year. (To be continued......)
