[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

In the sixth year of Zhongping, Emperor Ling died, the prince succeeded to the throne, and the queen mother came to court.General He Jin and Yuan Shao conspired to kill the eunuch, but the queen mother refused to listen, so Dong Zhuo, the prefect of Xuan Xiliang, came to Beijing to coerce the queen mother.Before Dong Zhuo arrived, He Jin had already been killed, and the civil strife in the capital had already seen its first signs.Zhuo entered the capital, abolished the emperor as King Hongnong, and made Liu Xie, the youngest son of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, as Xiandi. Later Zhuo killed King Hongnong and the Queen Mother, and the capital was in chaos.

Although Yingchuan Academy is still far away from Luoyang, the family behind every student is attached to the Han Dynasty. When the Han Dynasty was in chaos, no one was worried.However, it is not known whether this worry is worried about the monarchy as a subject, or about the future interests of his own family.

"Uncle, you are about to enter Beijing, and I'm here to bid you farewell."

At this moment, Xun You was saying goodbye to him in the Xun House, but his expression was more solemn than ever.After listening to Xun You's words, Xun frowned and said:

"The capital is now in chaos. Why are you entering the capital at this time?"

"Assassin."

"what?!"

"Assassinate the national traitor Dong Zhuo." Xun You repeated again, in a tone that did not seem to be joking at all.

"Nonsense!" Xun He said, "Dong Zhuo is heavily guarded, how can you succeed alone! You will not be allowed to go."

Normally, Xun You was gentle and courteous to others, not to mention getting angry, even talking loudly to people was something he had never done before, but now he was so angry, it was obvious that Xun You's words had already made him extremely anxious.Xun You knew what his uncle was thinking at the moment, but since he had already decided to go, no one would stop him.

He handed a kit from his sleeve to Xun, and said, "Uncle, here is the contact information of the secret guards of the Xun family. When you are not by your side, you can find them if you need anything."

"I told you not to go!"

"Among these people are not only the original family members, but also my cronies. No matter what happens, I can keep my uncle safe."

"Enough!" Xun walked up to Xun You quickly, and said coldly, "Although he is younger than you, he is still your elder. If you insist on going, you will never recognize this uncle in the future!"

The words were so emphatic that Xun You, who was originally extremely determined, turned blank.But he still didn't say a word to subdue, just bowed deeply to Xun, then turned and left the room.

Looking at the man's resolute back, Xun unconsciously clenched the kit left by him.Even if he scolded him just now, there was never a trace of anger in his eyes, but it was just a strong worry that couldn't be resolved.

Suddenly, he remembered the letter he received a few days ago. Originally, because of Dong Zhuo's rebellion, he had no intention of paying attention to the content of the letter, but Xun You's insistence today made him change his mind.

No matter what, he will never let Xun You have any surprises, this is his responsibility as an elder.

Xun You, who was out of the house, ran into Guo Jia who was looking for Xun.In the past few years, Xun You came to see Xun many times, and gradually Guo Jia became acquainted with him.Xun You wanted to go to Beijing to assassinate Dong. In fact, Guo Jia knew it earlier than Xun You. Now that Xun You came out of Xun's house, although he was suppressing his emotions, he still couldn't hide his color. Guo Jia knew what happened in the house just now. Jia also made a rough guess.

"Sure enough, Wen Ruo won't allow you to go."

"Yes." Xun You shrugged helplessly, "But these things always need to be done by someone, right?"

Guo Jia saw that although Xun You looked calm as usual, his brows were still slightly frowned, and he could tell at a glance that he was by no means as calm as his tone: "Actually, Gongda, let alone Wen Ruo, Jia has the heart to persuade you not to go."

"But you won't stop you." Xun You said firmly, "I'll leave it to you, uncle."

"No matter how fiercely your uncle scolded you today, as long as you come back safely, he won't mind." Guo Jia looked at the looming figure in the room and sighed.Suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "Have you ever told Ah Wu about your going to the capital?"

Thinking of the little girl who has grown up in recent years, Xun You couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly.The next second, he shook his head and said, "No, and there's no need. If she asks, just say that Youyuan has gone swimming."

"You don't tell the lie yourself, but push it to Jia." Guo Jia complained, but then he looked serious, and said seriously: "Successful or not, come back safely, don't let your uncle worry."

"Naturally."

Xun You was sent away on the front foot, and Guo Jia wanted to go into the house again to find Xun You to appease his backache of "my nephew ran away".Guo Jia felt more and more that he must have owed the Xun family a lot before, so no matter how difficult things were at this moment, he couldn't shirk them.Of course, he didn't want to shirk, and as a friend, he didn't want Xun to keep worrying.

Unexpectedly, Xun, who he thought to be full of worries, is currently packing his bags methodically in the house.Guo Jia was taken aback when he opened the door, and asked, "Wen Ruo, what are you..."

"I was promoted as Xiaolian, and I was appointed as the guard of the palace thanks to the emperor's grace." Xun replied while tidying up, "The incident happened suddenly, but the king's order was announced urgently, so it cannot be shirked."

Guo Jia was silent.Can the king's order be urgently announced?He remembered that when he received the letter a few days ago, Xun still shirked it. The reason was because of the current chaos in the court.But at this moment, Xun has completely changed his mind, and the reason for this is naturally self-evident.

Maybe Xun didn't realize that once something about Xun You happened to him, he would be particularly nervous.Xun You is trying his best to protect Xun, but in fact, as an orphan, Xun You can have his current status in Xun's family, and he absolutely cannot do without Xun's protection.

But they are nervous and concerned about each other, but they want to witness themselves, what is going on!

"Okay, Wen Ruo, you're leaving too." Guo Jia sighed and spread his hands, "Zhicai left a few months ago, Gongda is going to the capital, and now you're leaving too, leaving Jia alone here .”

The lament Guo Jia said was actually just a joke with Xun to make the parting not so deep.Xun naturally knew Guo Jia's temperament, but he still stopped his movements and said seriously: "Speaking of which, you will be crowned next year. At your crowning ceremony, you will definitely participate, and you will definitely bring... Shanggongda."

"There is no such thing as a crown ceremony," Guo Jia waved his hand, apparently not paying much attention to the matter, "In fact, Jia's character was chosen by his father a long time ago, and it is the word 'Fengxiao'. There are no relatives in Jia's family, so there is no need to As for the coronation ceremony, just pass it hastily."

When Guo Jia said "there are no relatives in the family", a trace of sadness flashed in Xun's eyes. He was very clear about the Guo family's affairs, and the big family was especially dirty.But that was already a few years ago. Seeing that Guo Jia did not have too many emotional fluctuations, he quickly concealed the emotion in his eyes, and just called out in a warm voice:

"From then on, I will call you 'Fengxiao'. If you take the word, you will be an adult. You can't just wear your hair like that in the future. You must tie your hair well."

Guo Jia listened to Xun Wen's instructions, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "Wen Ruo, don't worry. Do what you want, and Jia will stand by your side no matter what."

Xun's eyes flickered slightly. At that time, he didn't know the weight of Guo Jia's words, but this friendship alone was enough to move him.

And he didn't expect that Guo Jia's promise would stick with him for a whole lifetime, even if the two of them ended up on different paths, they didn't change at all.

When Guo Jia returned to his yard, Xiwu was serving dinner for him.As soon as Guo Jia entered the room, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating. Xiwu stood behind him with a calm expression.Xun You asked Guo Jia to hide it from Xi Wu, but whenever Guo Jia wanted to mobilize the octopus guards, he would notify the transfer through Xi Wu, so how could he hide it.

"Master, arrangements have been made at the capital. Even if Mr. Xun's assassination fails, our people can take him out safely." After Guo Jia sat down, Xiwu reported to Guo Jiahui.

"Well, I'm very relieved that you personally went to the capital to arrange things."

The situation in the capital is changing rapidly now, and it is extremely risky to insert people in such a chaotic situation.So when Guo Jiagang knew that Xun You was going to assassinate Dong, he sent someone to the capital to make arrangements.Originally, Guo Jia was reluctant to let Xiwu go in person for such a dangerous matter, but Xiwu was very persistent, and Guo Jia could only lament that "female college students are not allowed to stay" and let her go.

Xiwu blushed again when Guo Jia said it, and said angrily: "Master, we are talking about business."

"Okay, business." Guo Jia said with a smile, but he couldn't hide his worry about Xi Wu.He could accept Xiwu's ignorant concern for Xun You, but he would never allow them to develop any further.After all, Xiwu's background is there, and when it comes to marriage, she can only be a concubine, and he will not let Xiwu suffer that grievance no matter what.

Worried, although worried, Guo Jia won't say much to Xiwu, if he reminded him of nothing, it would be self-defeating.Pressing the worry in his heart, Guo Jia said: "Clean up, after Wen Ruo and Gongda leave, we will also set off for the capital."

"Master?" Xiwu wondered why Guo Jia made such a decision suddenly.

"It's just Gongda, I can send people to help him secretly. But Wen Ruoruo went to the capital to serve as the palace guard, and this official position cannot be easily left. Once Gongda's affairs fail, Wen Ruoruo will bear the brunt of the danger .”

"Just like you before, you can only rest assured if I go there in person."

"Remember, hide the itinerary, and don't let anyone know that I am going to the capital, no matter who it is."

"Yes"

In the early morning of the third day, Xun You walked out of the side door of Xun's house in plain clothes. The hidden guards of Xun's house had already prepared their carriages and were waiting there.The face of the leading guard was slightly blurred in the morning mist, but it was hard to hide the stern look on him.He nodded to Xun You, and opened the curtain for Xun You.

Xun You looked back at the tall plaque of the Xun Mansion, narrowed his eyes slightly, then turned around and got into the car without nostalgia.

But he didn't expect that there was already someone waiting for him in the car.

"Going to work in Beijing, Gongda probably wouldn't mind giving me a lift."

"Uncle..."

"As the palace guard, he is in charge of the holy majesty's pen, ink and paper. He often has the opportunity to come and go in and out of the palace. If you want to do something, I can help you."

When Xun said these words slowly, he kept looking at Xun You with a slight smile. The latter was stared at by Xun You in a daze, and his originally resolute heart gradually warmed up.

Xun Wenruo, gentle as jade, has a gentleman, he can treat everyone he meets politely and politely, and he will take care of his friends meticulously.However, this does not mean that Xun did not have his persistence.

However, at this moment, his uncle knew that his assassination of Dong was a near-death thing, and it was extremely impulsive with little possibility of success, but he still chose to go with him, and he would do his best to plan for him to advance and retreat with him .

Wen Ruo, haven't you realized that what you're doing is no longer just something that a "little uncle" should do?

Xun You smiled secretly, but he didn't know how to point out that some things are best left to their own accord.However, if my uncle went with him, the success of this matter might really be much greater.

"As for Fengxiao, you thought he was coming back to see off my uncle." Xun You already knew from Xun that Guo Jia would get a calligraphy in the future, so he simply called him that.

"He suffered from a cold, and he asked a doctor to prescribe medicine yesterday but it didn't help, so he had to stay in the house to recuperate." Xun replied, but he couldn't hide his worry for Guo Jia, "His body is too weak. After so many years of recuperation, I thought I was getting better, but this time I got sick so suddenly."

"Sudden illness..." Xun You murmured softly, but suddenly chuckled, "Even if Feng Xiao doesn't come, it doesn't matter, maybe my uncle will see him soon."

Xun You frowned and looked at Xun You in doubt, but Xun You just smiled and didn't answer.

As early as when Guo Jia was in contact with Xun, he investigated Guo Jia with concern, and he knew a little about Guo Jia's strength.According to his relationship with his brother-in-law, Xun would follow him to Beijing at this time, and would not sit idly by.With him around, no matter how bad the situation is, it is enough to keep my uncle.

And taking good care of my uncle is the only bottom line for him to do anything.

Note: It is recorded in history that Xun You assassinated Dong after Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an, at least after the Kwantung Army in 190 AD.In this chapter, Xun You's intention to assassinate Dong in 189 AD does not match the historical data. Here it is proposed to prevent misleading girls who study history.
