Chapter 33 second quarter

After visiting Cao Pi, the emperor and empress returned to their residences.Liu Xie couldn't bear the confinement in the house every day, so he went to the yard to play boxing to exercise his muscles and bones.Since his first appearance in Jitian Jinghong, everyone in Xudu now knows that the emperor has learned a set of "Five Animal Shows" that can strengthen his body, and the dragon body recovers quickly.If it were not for the majesty of the royal family, many people would come to study. After Liu Xie went out, Fu Shou sat in front of the bronze mirror and unloaded the hairpin, and asked Leng Shouguang to massage his shoulders behind him as usual.She took off the flowers one by one from her face, and asked, "So, you and Guo Jia used to be brothers?"

Hearing this name, the intensity of Leng Shouguang's massage changed subtly.He smiled wryly and said: "At that time, I didn't know that he was Guo Jia. The name he used in the sect was Xi Zhicai - the rules of our Hua sect, disciples must have double names to distinguish them from the world." Fu Shou nodded.In the Han Dynasty, all the people in the world used single characters as their names, and very few people took double characters.With Hua Tuo's rules, he naturally hoped that Huamen would become a game of its own. "Leng Shouguang, Xi Zhicai, well, it's appropriate to read it." Fu Shou read it slowly and nodded slightly.Hua Tuo, the two masters of the sect, are really amazing. One became a eunuch, and the other injured his body due to excessive indulgence...

"I said I was a brother, but actually I don't have much contact with Xi...uh, Guo Jia. He has a wide range of interests, and he has never been willing to concentrate on anything. He only stayed in the teacher's school for three months." "No wonder he looks sick. Could it be that he is not good at learning?" "No, the teacher said that he is a genius. If he can concentrate on Qihuang, he can be called the current Bian Que. It's a pity that he doesn't have this ambition, and he just learned the art of the house and then left. We are real classmates, but only for a month."

Fu Shouqi said: "Since you don't have much communication with him, but judging from the reaction just now, it seems that you are quite angry with him." Leng Shouguang's hands suddenly grasped tightly, Fu Shou felt a little pain, and moved forward to hide.Only then did Leng Shouguang come back to his senses, and quickly let go of his fingers. Fu Shou signaled that it was okay and let him continue talking.Leng Shouguang said: "Teacher has a niece named Hua Dan, who she regards as the apple of her eye. Before Guo Jia left, she raped her. The teacher castrated all his disciples in anger."

Fu Shou took a breath: "This Hua Tuo is so violent, how can he be called a famous doctor—what happened to Hua Dan later?" Leng Shouguang shook his head: "Some say that Guo Jia and Hua Dan are unemployed; The red pill was stolen by Guo Jia. In short, there is everything to say. After the incident, Hua Dan disappeared, and the teacher expelled us from the division." "This Guo Jia actually did such a thing, which is really worthy of the Cao family's style of 'emphasizing talents, not asking about virtue'." Fu Shou was stunned, "Then you came here for revenge? "

It is impossible for a majestic man to be implicated and castrated without resentment. Leng Shouguang said: "I only know the name 'Xizhicai', but I don't know that he is Guo Jia. How could he come to Xudu to seek revenge? If I hadn't seen that person's face just now, I would not be able to connect these two people. He raised his head, his eyes were a little dazed: "A human being is beyond repair, so what's the use of taking revenge? Besides, even Hua Dan's biological father is unwilling to pursue the case, but is on good terms with the murderer, so what are we?"

"Who is Hua Dan's father?" "Hua Xin, Hua Ziyu, who is currently serving as the prefect of Yuzhang." With a sound of "crash", Fu Shou dropped the Bu Yao in his hand to the ground.Leng Shouguang said: "People in the world only know that Hua Xin is from Gaotang in Pingyuan, and has nothing to do with Hua Tuo in Peiguo. They don't know that the two are brothers. Hua Xin didn't want people to know that he and the doctor belonged together, so he changed his family and hometown. " Leng Shouguang chattered endlessly, but Fu Shou didn't answer.She was not surprised by the relationship between Hua Xin and Hua Tuo, but thought of another thing.

Guo Jia went south secretly this time, with an unknown purpose.If what Leng Shouguang said is true, he has a close relationship with Yuzhang prefect Hua Xin, and Yuzhang is now under the rule of Sun Ce, so is there any major event happening in Jiangdong in the near future?How destructive that consumptive man was, no one could tell. "It seems that the south will be very uneven." Fu Shou secretly said. ※※※ "It's really cold here." Guo Jia complained, wrapping up the fur more tightly.Man Chong personally brought him a steaming bowl of meat soup, Guo Jia took a sip from the bowl: "You cooked this yourself?"

"Yes, just to be on the safe side." Man Chong replied.Guo Jia handed the bowl back helplessly: "Drink it yourself, I want to live a few more years." Man Chong took the bowl without changing his face, and drank the bowl of meat soup in one gulp.Guo Jia covered his eyes with his hands and tilted his head aside. This is where Xu Duwei is, it is cold and silent, and frost is hanging everywhere.Man Chong believes that the cold can make people sharp and energetic, so they didn't set up too many stoves.It was almost midnight at this time, and the subordinates either went home or went to work, leaving only Man Chong and Guo Jia.Strictly speaking, there is another Ren Hongchang who is inseparable from Guo Jia. She is curled up on the simple bamboo couch next to Guo Jia, like a little wild cat.

"Is it all arranged?" Guo Jia waited until Man Chong had finished drinking before asking. "Well, everything is as planned by Jijiu." "Very good, then let's wait slowly and see what fish will bite." Guo Jia patted his knees leisurely.Man Chong knelt down on his knees, with his hands cautiously covering the blanket in front of his knees. He had never shown such respect in front of Xun Yu. The house fell into silence.Man Chong never knew how to greet others, his conversations with others were all about explaining things.When the matter was over, he had nothing to say.Guo Jia stared at an unknown place in the darkness outside the window with big shining eyes, but didn't make a sound.His mind was running at high speed all the time—more than his lower body was running at high speed—this kind of quietness often meant that a new storm was brewing.

Without warning, Guo Jia suddenly turned his head to Man Chong: "What do you think of Yang Xiu?" Man Chong didn't hesitate or be taken aback, and immediately replied: "Very smart and decisive, he is the kind of person Cao Guild appreciates." "Very pertinent. But this guy's temperament is still not stable enough." Guo Jia tilted his head, "Looking at his eyes today, it seems that he can't wait to kill me——Don't you think that the movements of Xudu during this period, It's a bit like holding your breath in the water and not holding your breath, two or three strings of bubbles come out?" "You mean..." Man Chong has never been very good at understanding metaphors. "Hmph, it's really hard to talk to you—the series of changes in Xudu recently didn't cooperate with each other. I guess, Yang Xiu was probably eager to use some means, but he was stopped by his father or others in the middle. But they didn't stop them thoroughly enough, and Yang Xiu still showed some traces." "My subordinates also felt the same way. Wang Yue's assassination and Xu Fu's attempt to stop him seemed to be done hastily. It seems that they had a disagreement. If Wang Yue was really ordered by Yang Xiu, at least it proves that he was not sincere in taking refuge in Mr. Cao." Guo Jia patted Ren Hongchang's thigh—patting Ren Hongchang's thigh—and said teasingly: "It's hard to say whether Yang Xiu is sincere or not. He wants to be loyal to the reputation of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time he must be loyal to Duke Cao." Cao Gong opened up the joints and reserved foreshadowing. I think their Yang family is also very contradictory." "Do you need your subordinates to investigate further?" Man Chong rolled his eyes, his Xu Duwei is omnipotent in Xu. "No need." Guo Jia waved his hand, seemingly uninterested, "Xu Du has just experienced the chaos of Dong Cheng, so it is not appropriate to make any big moves. If Yang Xiu is arrested, he will be taken out of the Han Dynasty. What do you ask Mr. Cao to do? You can't even join the emperor. Catch it? After all, at Guandu, we still have to rely on the big flag of Emperor Han to support the situation—they have counted on us to be a mouse-snatching weapon." Speaking of this, Guo Jia suddenly paused: "But I said Bo Ning, you don't have to worry about these things in the future." "Ok?" Guo Jia glanced at him, and slowly said: "I have discussed with Xun Lingjun, you can't stay in Xudu." The news didn't make Man Chong's expression fluctuate in the slightest.He offended Cao Pi first, and then Mrs. Bian, so he had to leave Xudu sooner or later.Although everyone is talking about the distinction between public and private, everyone knows that offending the lord's relatives is a troublesome matter, not to mention the lord's jealousy, just talking about relatives and estrangements of colleagues will cause many problems. "Originally, I could save you, but now you have other tasks, so you can just go along with the flow. Booning, you might as well guess, where are you going?" "Runan." Man Chong blurted out without thinking.Guo Jia showed a bored face: "It's really boring to talk to you." "Now that Zhangxiu in the south has been settled, the only ones to worry about are Jiangdong Sun Ce and Runan. Runan is the root of the Yuan family, and the forces are intertwined. Although General Li Tong is good at fighting, he is not good at dealing with that kind of situation. Lord Jijiu, we must Shall I go and clean it?" Man Chong rarely showed a snake-like smug smile, Guo Jia muttered a few words in a low voice, which was regarded as an admission. "But you don't have to be upset. Since Yang Xiu is restless, if we don't show it, it's not in the way of courtesy." Guo Jia grinned, showing his signature sunny smile, and patted Man Chong on the shoulder. Man Chong said: "Master, this self-serving sacrificial wine is troublesome. The subordinate just wants to know, who will take over Xu Ling?" Xu Ling was in charge of the interior and exterior of Xudu, and there were hundreds of guards in Xudu, who shouldered the important task of monitoring the Han Dynasty and Hanchen.Man Chong has devoted his heart and soul here, and naturally he is most concerned about his successor. Before Guo Jia could answer, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and both of them shut their mouths.Soon there was an announcement from outside, and then the wooden door was suddenly pushed open, and two Xu Duwei walked into the room with one person supported.Ren Hongchang was awakened by the sound, rubbed his eyes to get up to look, Guo Jia patted her head and told her to continue to sleep. "My lord, this is the suspicious person we caught in the imperial city." "Huh? You got hooked so quickly?" Guo Jia narrowed his eyes and looked at the person below.This man was young, wearing a green robe, a green scarf on his head, and a round face full of fear. "Yilang Zhao Yan, Kong Rong's man." Man Chong introduced calmly.Guo Jia frowned slightly, this seemed to be quite different from the result he expected.He didn't like the feeling that his calculations had failed. A few days ago, Man Chong revoked the defense of the ruins of the imperial city, announced that it would be renovated soon, and then quietly let out the news that someone seemed to have found some strange wreckage in the ruins.The rumors were vague, did not explain what those wreckages were, and did not indicate how Xu Duwei would deal with them. Guo Jia's idea was simple: on the night of the fire in the Forbidden Palace, the Han Dynasty brought an uncastrated man into the bedroom, killed and burned it beyond recognition, obviously trying to cover up something.When they heard that Xu Duwei had discovered something in the ruins, they would definitely have doubts in their hearts, for fear that some important omissions would be discovered.They had no choice but to send people to inspect the ruins before the matter was investigated with great fanfare. In Guo Jia's expectation, one or two insiders should be able to be captured. Their identities are not as sensitive as Tang Ji and Yang Jun, and they can wantonly torture the truth. Unexpectedly, it was Kong Rong's man who was caught. Guo Jiaxuan looked at Zhao Yan, but didn't speak.Man Chong asked, "Zhao Yilang, it's so late, what are you doing in the imperial city?" Zhao Yan looked at Guo Jia suspiciously, unable to utter a word.After Jitian returned, he determined the direction of his investigation and planned to start with Fushou.As Fu Shougui is the queen, the chances of getting in touch with him alone are almost zero.Zhao Yan, who had been worrying about this all the time, heard that the ruins were lifted, so he planned to go there by night to see if he could find any new clues in the ruins of the bedroom.But what he never expected was that as soon as he stepped into the ruins, he was captured by Xu Duwei, who had been ambushing for a long time, and he couldn't help but capture him back. "I'm going for a walk." "It's so late, go for a walk in the imperial city?" Man Chong squinted his eyes, which was the dangerous gesture of the poisonous snake before uttering a letter. Xu Duling in front of him was the murderer who killed Concubine Dong, so Zhao Yan made up his mind to keep silent. He is such a rascal, there is nothing he can do for a while.After all, Zhao Yan is an official of the imperial court, if there is no suitable reason, there will be bad effects if he is sentenced easily - not to mention that he belongs to Kong Rong, that big mouth will never show mercy. "Berning, leave it to me." Guo Jia removed Ren Hongchang's calf from his knee, walked down to the ground, leaned in front of Zhao Yan, and said kindly, "Tell me everything you know." Zhao Yan closed his lips tightly and said nothing.Guo Jia stared at him closely, and said slowly: "My eyes have been washed by autumn water, so I am not deceived. If you tell a lie, your body will react. Even if you close your eyes and mouth, your body will still Will betray you." When Zhao Yan heard this, his body stiffened suddenly.Guo Jia was very satisfied with this reaction. This sentence was an invisible pressure on the criminals under trial, forcing them to hide their thoughts desperately. The harder they worked, the more flaws they would have.Guo Jia can know many things without them even asking. "Is this matter related to the Son of Heaven?" Guo Jia asked softly. Zhao Yan tried his best to control his muscles, but his Adam's apple couldn't help but twitch.Guo Jia asked a second question: "Is this related to the dead little eunuch?" Zhao Yan calmed down a little, and his rapid breathing slowed down slightly.These subtle changes were noticed by Guo Jia and Man Chong. Guo Jia smiled and asked the third question: "Could it be that you are for women? One or two?" Zhao Yan closed his eyes, his facial muscles were tense, trying not to show any emotion, and the veins on his neck were slightly bulging.Guo Jia smacked her lips, feeling a little disappointed. This person is really easy to manipulate, and it is inevitable that he lacks challenges. "This guy sneaked into the imperial city not because of the traces of the fire, but because of the two women... Could it be that he has an affair with Fu Hou and Tang Ji?" Guo Jia thought quickly, and even took a leisurely look at it Zhao Yan glanced at him, and his eyes were full of relief, "Even the emperor's woman is really a talent." Man Chong was puzzled and said: "Master Jijiu, how do you know that this person is for women?" Guo Jia shrugged: "I don't know, every man is like this anyway, this sentence can always hit their heart." ※※※ The moonlight was pale, as if covering the earth with a layer of filial piety.A fine horse galloped along the avenue under the moonlight, its hooves clattering anxiously. Deng Zhan held the rein in his hand, his face was stern, and his eyes were raised with two angry eyebrows. He had been running for four hours continuously, and his thighs on both sides were worn to a bloody mess.But he couldn't stop, didn't dare to stop, and couldn't even make a substitution midway. His most important task now is to safely deliver the scroll of portraits in his arms to Xudu, and to Guo Jijiu's hands.At this time, a figure appeared on the nearby mountain ridge. This figure was as gloomy and desolate as the moonlight at this time.
