Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Li Yi nodded, motioned him to step back, and took a closer look at the yard in front of him.

Inside is a thatched house, with a jujube tree planted in the courtyard, a well, and some farm tools beside it. There is a water tank under the eaves a little further away, but a corner of the water tank is missing. Think even more "cold".

After Li Yi probably had a judgment, he patted the courtyard door and shouted, "Excuse me, is anyone home?"

As soon as Li Yi finished speaking, a little woman poked her head out of the hut and took a look. She was a little surprised when she saw Li Yi's battle, but she didn't come out to greet her, but turned back. After waiting for a while, I saw the little woman walking out with the help of an old lady.

Before the old lady opened her mouth to ask, Li Yi had already stepped back two steps, bowed respectfully, and said, "General Zuo of Han Dynasty, Li Yi, Marquis of Xiangxiang County, and Prefect of Nanyang, have met the old lady!"

Li Yi has never let himself be wronged in terms of basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation. Naturally, the clothes on his body are extremely elegant. During the time with Dong Zhuo, he also has the aura of a superior person. When my mother saw it, she felt that the person who came today was not an ordinary person.

However, after hearing Li Yi's self-introduction, Guo's mother was still taken aback.

Guo's mother hurriedly asked her daughter-in-law to open the door for Li Yi. Li Yi walked in, smiled and saluted again, and said: "Li has heard people say that Guo Fengxiao in Yingchuan is very wise, and Yi Xin yearns for him, so I dare to come forward." Come to visit, and ask the old lady to forgive me."

Originally, Mother Guo felt quite a lot of pressure on Li Yi's string of names, but Li Yi got two big gifts after a while. Although she was a little at a loss, she was no longer afraid in her heart, and she was faintly happy.

This person came here to visit because he admired his son's talent, so there would be no reason for any mother to be unhappy.

Guo's mother retracted her sleeves a little bit awkwardly, bowed and said: "Zhesha is old, Mr. Li Fu, please come in."

Li Yi was not in a hurry, and returned the gift again, before saying, "Madam please first."

Guo's mother immediately looked at Li Yi even more pleasing to her eyes, and what she said was not appropriate. This attitude was almost comparable to that of his son.

Guo's mother asked her daughter-in-law to boil water and make tea, and she led Li Yi to walk in. On the way, she asked tentatively, "The reason Li Fujun is looking for my son?"

Li Yi didn't intend to hide his purpose, and said bluntly: "I have heard Guo Fengxiao's name for a long time, and I want to invite you as the head of the prefect's mansion!"

Mother Guo was overjoyed when she heard the words, but embarrassment appeared in the blink of an eye.

Li Yi is a little strange. His current official position is probably equivalent to a high-ranking official in a prefecture-level city, and he is still a high-ranking secretary. , This is also the highest treatment that Li Yi can give now.

Seeing mother Guo's expression, she should be happy, but why is she frowning?

Under Li Yi's gaze, Mother Guo sighed and said, "So that Mr. Li will know that my son went north to join General Yuan Benchu ​​two months ago."

The corner of Li Yi's mouth twitched suddenly. He remembered that Guo Jia had indeed defected to Yuan Shao, and then felt that Yuan Shao was not the master of the Ming Dynasty, so he left Yuan Shao, and then followed Cao Cao.

Before Li Yi came, the little soldier told him that he had found Guo Jia's home. Li Yi subconsciously thought that Guo Jia hadn't gone to Yuan Shao's place yet, but it was so unfortunate that he missed it.

Seeing that Li Yi's face changed, Mother Guo thought that he was unhappy, and hurriedly said: "It's really a coincidence that I let Mr. Li go for a while, and I will apologize to Mr. Li on behalf of my son."

Li Yi hurriedly helped him up, but he wasn't angry. He was more depressed just now that his subordinates were not doing their job well, and he didn't even understand a piece of news.

As for Guo Jia not being at home, Li Yi was disappointed for a moment, and then became even happier.

Guo Jia is one of the smartest people in the world. It may not be easy for Li Yi to fool Guo Jia into his own thief ship, and there is no guarantee that Guo Jia will definitely take a fancy to him. Although Li Yi had already made up his mind when he came, Guo Jia If not, he will follow the example of Diao Chan and Cai Yan, and tie people into his hands first.

But that's not good after all, the ghost knows what kind of character Guo Jia is, if he is unyielding and unyielding, this counselor is not a beauty, Li Yi has nowhere to say even if he wants to overlord.

Now, only Guo's mother and the young daughter-in-law who is suspected to be Guo Jia are here, and God is helping me.

Raiding Guo Mu is definitely much easier than attacking Guo Jia.

And, more importantly, Li Yi knew that Guo Jia didn't like Yuan Shao, so he definitely wanted to go home.

At that time, Guo Jia will be stunned to find out that even though he already has a "belonging heart" to Yuan Shao, there is another guy in Nanyang named Li Yi who is "unchanging his obsession" with him and has been silently waiting for him. he

Just ask Guo Jia, are you moved?

People these days are very particular about kindness, as long as Li Yi does everything well before Guo Jia comes back, if Guo Jia doesn't go to him then, Guo's mother will be the first to disagree!

Thinking about the future scene, Li Yi almost burst into laughter,

"What is the old lady talking about!"

Li Yi pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "I came too abruptly, what is the old lady's fault? And"

Li Yi squinted his eyes with a daydream look on his face, and said, "I admire Feng Xiao's talent. Although I can't see him today, Feng Xiao also defected to Yuan Benchu, but as long as the old lady is willing to agree to this matter, Li Yi will have no regrets on this trip."

Guo's mother was embarrassed by Li Yi's attitude, but she was also a shrewd woman. She was afraid that Li Yi would ask something embarrassing, so she didn't dare to agree directly. After all, Yuan Shao is famous all over the world, and although Li Yi is also well-known, But Mother Guo had never heard of it. She was afraid that what she had to do would affect Guo Jia's career with Yuan Shao.

Under Guo's mother's slightly wary eyes, Li Yi said in a deep voice: "I just ask the old lady to tell Feng Xiao in the future, and say that Li Yi in Nanyang has been here today. Alas, I don't want to meet, but to get to know each other!"

Guo's mother was directly ashamed by Li Yi, and several wrinkles suddenly appeared on her forehead. She was wary of others, but she didn't expect them to have such a magnanimity, which was really heartbreaking.

At the same time, Mother Guo also made a comparison in her heart. Although Li Yi cannot be compared with Yuan Shao in terms of reputation, can Yuan Shao have such an attitude towards Guo Jia?

It's a pity that Guo's mother's hands are not long enough, otherwise Guo Jia would really have to be dragged home to meet Li Yi.

At this time, Mother Guo's daughter-in-law had already made the tea, and Li Yi was not in a hurry to leave. He chatted with Mother Guo with a smile for half an hour. Li Yi didn't mention his brilliant deeds, but just said something he knew Interesting stories and anecdotes made Guo's mother smile, and of course, she would occasionally lament that the people she saw along the way were in dire straits, and then she sighed with Guo's mother.

Li Yi believed that if Guo's mother told Guo Jia the following words, Guo Jia would definitely be able to guess some of his own ambitions. As for his "introduction", if he said too much, it would be too ostentatious and underwhelming.

When it was almost time and he was about to leave, Li Yi asked someone to present more than ten gold cakes. He didn't want Guo's mother to see it, but his smiling face changed, and he said: "My son can't be recruited by Mr. To be honored by Lord Li's Mansion? Wouldn't it be embarrassing for the old man? It must not be allowed!"

Li Yi explained: "I have no other intentions, but I just hope that the old lady can buy one or two servants to stay at home, so that she will work less in the future."

Guo's mother still refused to take it, Li Yi had no choice but to wave his hand to let the soldier take back the gold, paused, and suddenly said to Zhang Liao who was watching the whole show: "Can Wen Yuan know how to chop firewood?"

Zhang Liao will be a little distracted, he has been thinking about how talented this Guo Jia is, and it is worth Li Yi's effort.

He has been in contact with Li Yi for a long time, so he naturally knows that Li Yi is not profitable, and the more polite he is to Guo's mother now, the bigger his plans will be in the future.

After being stunned, Zhang Liao said with some doubts: "Of course I will."

Li Yi smiled, and whispered a few words to Zhang Liao, no matter how stunned Zhang Liao was, and then said to Guo's mother: "Auntie doesn't want to accept the money, but I can't lose my courtesy as a junior, so I have to do some small things for my auntie , otherwise it will be difficult to feel at ease."

After all, Li Yi pulled Zhang Liao out of the hut, Zhang Liao picked up the ax and started chopping firewood, while Li Yi took the wooden bucket to the well, and poured the water into the water tank.

When Guo's mother and Guo Jia's young daughter-in-law saw it, they immediately lost their composure.

Of these two people, one is the prefect, or a county lord, and the other seems to have an unusual identity. Such a person is actually carrying water and firewood for their family!

This is too much face, Guo's mother feels that she can't bear it at all!

Guo's mother and Guo Jia's little daughter-in-law were flustered and moved, and kept talking about what to do, but Li Yi didn't care. Call Guo's mother to sigh again and again.

When Li Yi and Zhang Liao finished their work and really said goodbye, Guo's mother looked at Li Yi's eyes, almost kissing her son, and even wiped away old tears.

Li Yi smiled and persuaded Guo's mother to stay, but said in his heart, I was worth the dog licking this time, no accident, but your precious son is going to be my cow and horse until he dies

Chapter 147

Farewell to Mother Guo, when Li Yi was about to meet up with people from outside the village, he saw Zhang Liao always looking at him, hesitant to speak, smiled, and motioned to the soldier beside him to go ahead, saying: "Today, it is Wen Yuan who wronged him. It's chopping wood."
