Xu Shi did not immediately inform Xu Ji and Yin Ning of her decision, of course, it was not that she dispelled this idea, but that Xu Shi was still preparing to make it grand, and her son was going to the city today, so she was not so interested, so she didn't say anything.

And Dian Wei also had to accompany his father-in-law again in the case of running Yingyin once again yesterday, Dian Wei really didn't want to provoke his own lord for a few days, he wasn't sure what his mood, the moody lord was, and Xu Jina would definitely not let him have a good time.

But in the end, Dian Wei still thought too much, Xu Ji didn't put his mind on him, and now that he has Yining by his side, he has become much happier, but even so, Xu Ji is still a little worried. What are the troubles and opportunities that Xun Yu said in his mouth, this is what Xu Ji really cares about, and Yin Ning is also a little glad in his heart that he didn't come along, otherwise he is afraid that if he loses his temper, he will hurt this girl who has been thinking about him.

Xu Ji has been silent along the way, Dian Wei didn't dare to tease, just went all the way to Yingyin, to put it bluntly, this is still the center of Yingchuan after all, it is much more lively than Yu County, Dian Wei naturally went to find Huang Jun, and Xu Ji also Shi Shi Ran walked around at will, he was not in a hurry to go to the Changle wine shop that Xun Kuang said, not to mention that Yingyin is not his territory, in case of provoking the suspicion of others, I am afraid that it is not small.

What's more, Xu Ji hasn't been so leisurely and casually wandering around for a long time, although he has been in Yingyin for a long time, but because he is busy reading and scheming, he has not appreciated the different style of Yingyin. However, this kind of thing is just a way for him to be bored, and after making sure that he is not being watched, Xu Ji only went to Changle Restaurant after asking the path.

It's a small two-story building that doesn't look very luxurious, and the fluttering flag is in the style of official script. It reads "Joraku Liquor Shop", although it looks unremarkable. But Xu Ji could vaguely smell the mellow fragrance wafting in the air, which was obvious. The sake here must be very good.

Xu Ji lifted the curtain to block the wind, and saw the shopkeeper sitting at the counter wrapped in a thick jacket, looking a little lazy. He saw Xu Ji enter the door and beckoned, "Is the guest Xu Gongzi?" Xu Ji's complexion changed slightly, and then he smiled again: "What are the store's orders?" The middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper smiled and gestured to the second floor, and then said, "Don't dare to do it, there is a son waiting upstairs." After that, he shouted behind him: "The guests are here, serve the food." After that, he turned back to Xu Ji and smiled kindly. Xu Ji also smiled back, and then walked up the stairs.

The middle-aged man behind him looked at his back and muttered, "This is the Xu Duyou who has made a big deal in the Changshe?" The end is the excesses of youth. Xu Ji pretended not to hear the footsteps, and continued to walk upstairs.

Upstairs is divided into several private rooms. One of the doors was ajar, and someone could be seen sitting at the banquet. Xu Ji pushed the door and entered.

"Squeak"

Some of the old doors made a somewhat overwhelming sound, and the people in the banquet looked back at Xu Ji and smiled: "Wen Lie, it's a little late." There was a faint smile in his tone. Xu Ji smiled apologetically: "I'm afraid that someone will follow, so I have to be careful." Wen Ruo, lately, how are you? ”

The person waiting for Xu Ji is Xun Yu, who has not been seen for several years. At this time, Xun Yu didn't know whether it was due to changes or the tempering of time, and there was more and more of a kind of appearance that people couldn't see the depths, the plain clothes were smooth and smooth, and there was a shallow smile on his face. It's like the style of a master outside the world.

Hearing Xu Ji's question, Xun Yu stretched out his hand and pointed to the position opposite him and said, "Sit down first, what's the matter." Let's talk about it when the food and drinks are ready. Xu Ji smiled and sat down and didn't speak again, and the two sat opposite each other. They all looked indifferent.

After the food and drinks were served, the little servant closed the door. Xu Ji smiled and raised the wine glass to salute Xun Yu, and said: "This cup is for not being able to come to Wen Ruohe in person to confess for the wedding." Xun Yu also raised his glass, but the expression on his face was slightly helpless.

After a glass of wine, Xu Ji did not move to grab a table of delicacies, but frowned and asked, "What are the so-called troubles and opportunities in Wen Ruo?" Xun Yu said with a rare ridicule on his face when he heard this: "I want to congratulate Wen Lie for holding the beauty." Xu Ji frowned, and immediately reacted: "Something to do with Ning'er?" ”

The smile on Xun Yu's face was even worse: "Wen Lie's quick reaction, called so intimate? Do you know the true identity of the woman? ”

Xu Ji shook his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I only know the origin behind Lu Dao Ning'er, but I don't know what the origin is. Speaking of this, Xu Ji's face changed: "Mo Feining'er ......?" He didn't finish speaking, because Xun Yu had already nodded and interrupted him: "Wen Lie may not guess that woman is the young daughter of the current emperor, that is, she is a princess." ”

When Xu Ji heard this, he had already imagined the power behind Yining as strong as possible, but now it seems that he has greatly underestimated it. Seeing Xu Ji's reaction like this, Xun Yu couldn't help but smile with relief, he was even more surprised than Xu Ji when he learned the news. But now is not the time to think about this, Xun Yu said: "Do you understand what I mean now?" ”

Xu Ji smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I understand, it's just that this trouble is big." ”

"I don't know yet, it is said that His Majesty is very fond of this little princess, I think maybe it is a good opportunity, Wen Lie, you can take this opportunity to enter the high-level, and you can even enter the court." Although Xun Yu's words were very reasonable, Xu Ji didn't think so. And his Xu Ji is only afraid that he will not have this blessing to "eat soft rice".

"Wen Ruo, I'm afraid you don't know, Ning'er escaped from marriage. If I leak even a little bit of news now, I'm afraid that I will end up in a different place. Xu Ji shook his head and smiled bitterly, the expression on his face was indescribably banter.

This time it is Xun Yu's turn to be sluggish, although the Xun clan has eyeliner in Luoyang, but it is definitely impossible to do this kind of thing before it becomes a reality, and if the princess really escaped from marriage, not to mention that Xu Ji has no chance to become a concubine, the first thing he did when he learned who kidnapped the emperor who abducted the pearl in his palm may be to kill Xu Ji. Looking at it this way, Xu Ji is afraid that what he gets is not an opportunity but endless troubles. Xun Yu smiled bitterly and asked, "How is Wen Lie's preparation?" This princess ...... What should I do? ”

Xu Ji sighed, picked up the wine glass on the table, poured a full glass of wine, and drank it all. Then he put down the cup casually and said, "Ning'er has come thousands of miles away, and I can't refuse her intentions if I say anything." Let's keep it a secret. Hide it for as long as you can. ”

Xun Yu looked surprised and said, "Wen Lie, are you crazy?" If the emperor knows that you dare to hide the princess privately, I am afraid that it will be difficult to ask for a painful death. I think it's only right for you to enter the palace sooner or later to become a eunuch. Although Xun Yu made a rare joke, Xu Ji didn't smile at all, but said with a bitter face: "I can't decide now, Ning'er has already met my parents and is deeply loved by my mother, who knows how she won the love of my mother." Did I tell my mother that Ning'er was a princess? Few people would believe this. After that, he sighed a long time and continued: "I think I was a little implicated when I saw her, she hasn't forgotten me as a poor boy all these years, this heart, if it's Wen Ruo, can you refuse?" ”

After hearing this, Xun Yu also sighed. Why doesn't he have such a red face? It's just that he has no time and can't make up for this, and now he has accepted a marriage he doesn't want for his ideals, so he understands what Xu Ji means, and he also envy Xu Ji who still has the right to pursue the person he likes.

"Then it's up to you, it's just Wen Lie, this matter is not trivial, you take care of yourself." Xun Yu didn't seem to have any expression on his face, but Xu Ji could see some of his emotions that he didn't want to mention, and Xu Ji didn't have much. just got up and walked to Xun Yu's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's hard work Wen Ruo, Wen Lie owes you too much." ”

After saying this, Xun Yu shook his head and said, "Where did you come from, who owes whom?" It's just an ambition, everyone will sacrifice some, what about the future? ”

"What else can you do? Take it one step at a time. I think the situation is only going to get more chaotic, and I still need to build up strength these days. Now you and I can't shake the situation, and I can't do anything about it. Saying this, Xu Ji sighed: "Wen Lie." Although the yellow scarf is temporary, it is by no means peaceful in the world. Hundreds of thousands of yellow turbans are now torn apart, fighting their own battles. Trouble will only be greater everywhere, and there will be more opportunities. ”

Xun Yu nodded when he heard this: "I think so too, it's just Zhang Miao, how is Wen Lie going to deal with it?" ”

Xu Ji frowned again when he heard this, and then said slowly: "Sooner or later, there will be a battle, and whoever wins will have the right to speak in Chenliu, which is inevitable." ”

"There is no other way?"

"There is no other way!"

"How sure is Wen Lie that he will defeat Zhang Miao?"

Xu Ji smiled: "If Fengxiao wins Xiangyi for me, there will be eighty percent, and if it is only Yu County and Jiwu, I will only be forty percent sure." But now I have a better idea. ”

"Oh, what's the idea?" Xun Yu's face showed curiosity.

The original peace in Xu Ji's eyes was replaced by sharpness: "Does Wen Ruo still remember Zhu Jun?" ”

"The general of the right chariot?" Although Zhu Jun has now resigned due to the death of his mother, because of his meritorious service in suppressing thieves, he is called the general of the right chariot cavalry.

Xu Ji nodded and said, "I knew someone when I was serving under General Gongwei, and this person is close friends with Zhang Miao, or he can alleviate the conflict between me and Zhang Miao." ”

"Who?"

"Jinan Xiang Cao Cao."

"Could it be Cao Mengde, who killed the plot?" Xun Yuqi said.

Xu Ji nodded and said: "It's this person, I have some friendship with him, and now I may ask him for help, even if it doesn't work, I can delay some time, I just hope that Fengxiao's hands and feet will be faster, and I won't be afraid of Zhang Miao if I take Xiangyi." Of course, it would be great if I could convince Zhang Miao to stop plotting trouble for me. ”

In this regard, Xun Yu also nodded and said: "If this is the case, then it is naturally great, but I have also heard of Cao Mengde, and it is difficult to say whether he will help." ”

Hearing this, Xu Ji smiled, he naturally knew what kind of person Cao Cao was, but he didn't pin all his hopes on Cao Cao, Xu Ji's real purpose was to test Zhang Miao's purpose, once Zhang Miao really had the idea of doing something to Xu Ji, then Xu Ji could take advantage of this to make some articles to take Zhang Miao's position as the Taishou, so that there would be no one to restrain what he did in Chen Liu.

"Do my best, I need a justification to make Zhang Miao unable to move, at least in three or five months, let him be honest. What do you think should be relied on? Xu Ji asked. Xun Yu smiled and said: "If the princess is not running away from marriage, then the best reason is nothing more than to press him as your concubine, but now, I don't have any good ideas." ”

Although he had expected that Xun Yu would not have any good ideas, Xu Ji was still a little disappointed. But this is not to blame Xun Yu, Xu Ji himself can't find a solution, let alone Xun Yu, who is hundreds of miles away from Chenliu.

Then the two of them chatted casually and dispersed. And Xu Ji finally knew that this Changle wine shop was also Xun Chen's asset, but this property was actually Wenxuan's. In other words, this small wine shop is also his Xu Wenlie's territory. Of course, Xu Ji unceremoniously brought a few jars of good wine and left.

Dian Wei was already impatient to wait, if he wasn't afraid that he might provoke his lord again, he went early in the morning. Xu Ji came downstairs, only to see Huang Jun standing behind Dian Wei, at this time Huang Jun looked much more energetic, and his originally somewhat dim eyes also regained aura, Xu Ji said: "Ziyan, how are you harvesting these days?" ”

Huang Jun replied respectfully, "Thank you Lord for bringing me here." In the past few days, I have benefited a lot from several gentlemen of the Xun family. After that, he smiled again and said, "Lord, this New Year, are there still some rewards?" Xu Ji replied angrily when he heard this: "Ziyante is shameless, reward?" Go ask Junqing for it. Huang Jun also didn't care, he laughed even more when he heard Xu Ji's words, and after seeing Xun Yu also go downstairs, he said respectfully: "Mr. Wenruo." ”

Xun Yu nodded in return, then turned his head to Xu Ji and said, "Wen Lie, I'll leave first, there are a lot of things in the clan." Gongda is inevitably a little difficult to deal with. Xu Ji also nodded, and when Xun Yu walked away, Xu Ji turned around and said to Dian Wei: "Junqing, let's go back too." ”

Only then did Huang Jun react and said, "Lord, how should Jun arrange?" ”

After Xu Ji walked out of the door, he turned around and smiled: "Ziyan, don't you want a reward?" All this snow is a gift from heaven. I'll give it all to you. After that, he picked up the horse at the door of the store, turned over and left, and Dian Wei ignored Huang Jun. He put away the wine jar handed to him by Xu Ji even more quickly, and immediately led the horse and prepared to leave. Huang Jun hurriedly pulled Dian Wei and said, "Brother, how did the lord arrange me?" ”

Dian Wei held back a smile and replied seriously: "Didn't the lord say that you should be rewarded here?" You just take it. ”

Huang Jun shook his body even more when he heard this. With a bitter face, he said, "Brother, don't joke, what's going on?" ”

"How do I know the Lord's arrangement, you can ask yourself." After saying that, Dian Wei also turned over and chased Xu Ji, Huang Jun had to get on the horse too, and then he began to scold himself secretly, why bother to provoke his lord if he has nothing to do, now he has to bear it.

And at this time in Xiangyi, Guo Jia finally intervened in the power of Xiangyi, although the Wang family is not a small family, but it is inevitable that there are a few straw bag characters, through the news of Bocai Guo Jia quickly found a character named Wang Jin, this is the most gentlemanly guy in Wang's generation, he likes to gamble money on weekdays, which is just right to the appetite of Xi Zhong, after deliberately helping this Wang Jin win a lot of money several times, Guo Jia took this line, but it will take some time to pass this stupid role, but in Guo Jia's opinionThese are not the problems.

The sky is getting dark, Xu Ji and Dian Wei rushed home, this is the reunion of Chinese New Year's Eve, Xu Ji said that he would not miss anything, and Huang Jun is dead skin to follow, in addition to meeting the parents of his own lord, naturally to meet the "master mother" of Tianzi and the country that Dian Wei said.

Of course, Xu Ji was too lazy to pay attention to Huang Jun, at this time he was still worried about his future plans and the girl he had to face.

Xu Ji knew very well that the people who were waiting for him were not only his parents, but also Yining, although Xu Ji's feelings for this girl were still a little complicated, but after all, she had been obsessed with him for so many years, and Xu Ji couldn't bear to blame her for concealing it.

After settling Dian Wei and Huang Jun, Xu Ji also returned to the room, after all, there was still some time before Chinese New Year's Eve, and he had nowhere to go, and Yin Ning was waiting for him in the room.

"Mu, you are in the city today, are you ......" Yining's words were a little hesitant, and she felt a trace of sadness between Xu Ji's eyebrows. Xu Ji smiled and stepped forward to hold her in his arms and said, "Ning'er is so bitter to hide it from me." He sighed.

"You... Do you know everything? Yining's tone revealed cowardice and faint fear.

Xu Ji let go of his hand and looked at her little face, and said with a smile: "Is the princess going to cure me for the crime of disrespect?" It's okay not to say this, but the girl immediately turned red with red eyes: "You're going to drive me away again?" There was already a cry in the girl's voice.

Xu Ji smiled bitterly: "It's too late to drive you away now, what's more, I'm still reluctant." After that, he pulled her into his arms, and although she couldn't see her expression clearly, her fear could be clearly felt in the sequel.

"Wood, I'm really scared, my father wants me to marry someone I don't know who it is, but I don't like that, I like you." Of course, Xu Ji knew what the girl in his arms was already like at this time, he let go of her with some distress, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Ning'er, I really won't force you to go again." I owe you so many years of affection, and I will slowly make amends. As for your father, no one can take you away from me unless they step on my corpse! Xu Ji said this categorically without hesitation, this is not a joke, Xu Ji is very serious, he does not need to doubt the feelings of the girl in front of him, and even he can be very sure that he can hardly forget the dead girl in front of him.

"Dead wood, you must not lie to me!" The look on the little girl's face was clearly with a look of grievance and fear. Xu Ji reached out and rubbed her head in distress: "If you don't leave in this life, I won't give up, Xu Ji swears!" ”

The girl's face finally had a little cheerful look, she stretched out her hand and touched Xu Ji's face and said, "Wood, I promise you, Ning'er will never leave you, as long as Ning'er can still accompany you, she will never leave, unswerving." ”

It's just that both of them know that even unswerving feelings can't stop the helplessness of reality. There are some things that cannot be predicted, but both Xu Ji and Yin Ning know the meaning of each other to themselves. (To be continued......)
