In autumn, the weather is cool. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Luoyang City shone slightly, Cai Wenzhao took a carriage out of Cai's mansion.

Cai Wenzhao came to the outer courtyard under the South Mountain.

It was still early, the dew had set, and the surroundings of what should have been a quiet outer courtyard were already bustling.

The soldiers in full armor were already under martial law and guarded all around. There are also officials from the imperial court who are responsible for arranging the venue and arranging the seats.

Compared with the assessment of the outer courtyard a month ago, this time it is obviously several times more solemn and solemn, and the opening of the inner courtyard is not only a matter for the students, but also a major event related to Luoyang City, and even the entire Great Wei Dynasty.

And this time, King Zuoxian of the Huns entered Luoyang as a hostage, and his participation in the competition for places in the inner courtyard was even more for the opening of the building this time, which gave a different meaning.

The news of Sima Shi and the great victory in Northern Xinjiang has been transmitted back to Luoyang, and all the people and officials are extremely excited, and people are waiting for the return of that god-like figure.

Therefore, people don't want to see that when he comes back, King Zuo Xian steps on the students of Dawei and enters the inner courtyard with their heads held high.

Although it does not hurt the overall situation, the pride of Da Wei does not allow it. Just like Sima Shi's pursuit of perfection up and down, there is no room for a single stain.

At this time, there is still half a day before the opening of the inner courtyard, and Cai Wenzhao came early at this moment, naturally not because he was nervous, or because he came to be stupid.

For he remembered that a man had said that he was coming to see him today.

And he wanted to meet him before the inner courtyard opened.

Therefore, Cai Wenzhao walked into the mountains of Nanshan, walked through the winding paths, walked into the towering and straight woods, stepped on the stumbling dead leaves, and looked at the many branches that only left the branches and branches, Cai Wenzhao saw a small pavilion on the mountainside.

In the small pavilion, there is an octagonal stone table, and there are two stone benches next to the stone table.

At this moment, there is a man in white sitting in it, and there is a chess table and a pot of tea on the stone table.

Cai Wenzhao's eyes narrowed and he rushed over, the military advisor sacrificed wine Guo Jia, he really came.

"The younger generation has seen the sacrificial wine-sama. ”

Cai Wenzhao looked at this fairy-like man and bowed slightly.

"Sit. Guo Jia pointed slightly, and the emotions given to people are always like a spring breeze, free and easy.

Cai Wenzhao nodded, Guo Jia gave him the feeling that the mountains were upright, and his wisdom was extraordinary, and he paused and said respectfully: "Lord Sacrificial Wine, I have already cultivated the Ziwei Doushu you handed over to me. ”

Guo Jia nodded noncommittally.

Cai Wenzhao continued: "Although I got the qualification for the inner court on the last day, it is still very exciting to say. However, after all, he was a powerhouse in the Chakra realm, and I knew that I didn't have much of a chance, but I always had a fluke mentality. So, I want to ask if there is anything you can teach me?"

Guo Jia suddenly looked up at Cai Wenzhao's resolute face and smiled slightly: "I have nothing to teach someone like you who is always unexpected and always has great ideas." ”

Cai Wenzhao smiled and looked at the mountain scenery in the distance, to be honest, he was a little worried, whether it was King Zuo Xian who was about to face or Sima Shi later.

It's not that he lacks courage or fighting spirit, he just lacks time.

"There are always many things in this world, not whether you have the ability to do it, but whether you dare to think about it. I just want to know how much you want to go into the inner court. ”

Cai Wenzhao began to chew on the meaning of this sentence, but before he could answer, Guo Jia spoke again.

"If you give up the Inner Court assessment now, I will be able to take you with me in a while and announce to the people of the world that I will accept you as a closed disciple. ”

There was silence in the room, Cai Wenzhao looked at Guo Jia's calm face, and found that the other party said this sentence in such a casual tone, but Cai Wenzhao understood the domineering and unquestionable inside.

Cai Wenzhao's purpose in entering the inner courtyard was to get shelter and fight for enough room to grow against the Xiahou Mansion, the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion and even the crown prince.

At this moment, Guo Jia's meaning is obvious, if you don't go in, I will accept you, and as my closed disciple, naturally I don't have to care about the Zhenguo Hou Mansion, Xiahou Mansion or even the crown prince.

Cai Wenzhao was shocked and speechless for a long time, he naturally knew that with a person of Guo Jia's status, the words he said were like spilled water.

And as long as he agreed, why did he have to go to the single-plank bridge in the inner courtyard, and he was cultivating a smooth road from now on, and just one "Ziwei Doushu" made Cai Wenzhao endless.

On the one hand, the possibility is very small, and on the other hand, it is just a nod.

But, really, when he was ready to speak, the answer was no.

When he spit out this word, Cai Wenzhao was relaxed, that is, even the previous tension or worry disappeared.

Cai Wenzhao said to Guo Jia: "I still want to ...... Give it a try, I want to know if I can get into the inner courtyard at all. ”

A funny smile flashed in Guo Jia's eyes, and he looked at Cai Wenzhao and asked, "Why?"

Cai Wenzhao was silent for a moment, and then said: "It may be that I am a person who wants to save face, after all, I don't want others to say it, and I don't even have the courage to participate in the assessment." ”

"That's all?" Guo Jia looked into his eyes quietly.

"Or just for the sake of the 10,000 taels of gold of Third Young Master Cui. ”

"Or maybe I've worked hard to take ten subjects, I've blinded a lot of teaching, and I've pretended to be a big one, and I'm always unwilling if I don't finish it. ”

Cai Wenzhao scratched his head again, and then said with some embarrassment: "And I'm really upset to look at that Fanbang prince!"

Guo Jia laughed, picked up the teapot and took a sip, and then said: "This is the crux of the matter, as long as people are extremely eager to do something, this thing can be done." Hope, ambition, or unconvinced, this is the most beautiful thing in the world. If you can persevere, you are the right choice. ”

"It's a shame. Guo Jia took another sip of tea, and then sighed lightly, but there was no disappointment in his eyes.

Cai Wenzhao didn't understand what was contained in this sigh, could it be that this unpredictable military advisor had already calculated the results of the inner court assessment, did he mean that although he had good talent and good potential, he was still a little tender after all, and he still couldn't defeat the prince of that state today?

Looking at Guo Jia Cai Wenzhao, he suddenly spoke: "Lord Sacrificial Wine, just now I said that if I give up the inner courtyard assessment, is it true that you will accept me as a closed disciple?"

Guo Jia took a sip of tea and said indifferently: "That's nature." ”

Cai Wenzhao touched his chin and said with a smile: "Can I regret it now?"

Guo Jia put down the teaglass, chuckled, pointed at Cai Wenzhao and said, "I gave you a chance." ”

"Then it seems that I have to go down the mountain, and then cut down the prince of Fanbang with a sword. Cai Wenzhao shrugged his shoulders, said goodbye to Guo Jia, and walked down the mountain road.
