Although he was always smiling in a neutral manner, his eyes were as cold as a stream, and the first sight made his heart feel as cold as if he had been immersed in a mountain spring.

Chen Qun, who was still eloquent before, didn't dare to meet Guo Jia's eyes at all at this moment, so he could only hastily bowed and waved his sleeves, and respectfully bowed to Cao Cao: "Report to Sikong, I will take my leave for the time being." Bi Fei walked away as if up.

The threshold of the study room was quite high, and he walked in a hurry, accidentally tripped and fell.

Embarrassed, Chen Qun wanted to get up pretending nothing happened, but he heard a sudden greeting: "Chen Biejia, walk slowly, there is no one urging you here, so why be so anxious."

Hearing this, he twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and subconsciously raised his head to see Guo Jiazheng with his hands folded across his chest, leisurely admiring his foolishness, with a hint of a smile on his lips, and a sneer in his voice.

Being ridiculed in public like this, poor Chen Qun couldn't express his suffering, so he could only stand up bravely, straighten his clothes and walk out at a faster pace, not even daring to turn his head.

Here, Guo Jia saw that he had gone far away, so he turned around slowly, and smiled at Cao Cao: "My lord, if Jia's guess is correct, Mr. Chen has come to sue Jia."

"If Feng Xiao was afraid of him criticizing your words to Gu, he wouldn't ask Gu like this."

Guo Jia laughed knowingly, slowly took out a purple embroidered jade silk fan from his sleeve, and shook it slowly as usual: "Master Chen is a loyal and honest scholar from a family, and it is normal to have a way of doing things that is contrary to Jia's behavior. I hope My lord can comfort him well, otherwise Jiasheng is afraid that he will give him another lesson when he bumps into him next time."

Cao Cao knew that Chen Qun was not such a sneering villain, so he might as well make fun of him again, tidy up the scattered bamboo slips on the table, and said: "I'm afraid that when Gu Zai summoned Le Ji to recite poems and make fuss to be arty, Chen Changwen was behind his back." There are no less accusations."

"What my lord loves is elegant music, which is advocated by Confucianism. It's too late for Mr. Chen to rush to write articles to praise and sing praises."

Cao Cao waved his hand, remembered something, and said: "Feng Xiao, Gu recently filled in the Shou Yue Fu, and ordered the teaching workshop in the palace to compose but songs to match each other. When you are free, come and have fun."

"I haven't listened to my lord's new song for many days, and Jia has been itching." Guo Jia leaned against the wall and smiled, and said in a leisurely and relaxed tone, "My lord's new poem, every night before going to bed, Jia has to order the maid Read it again. The girls in Yingchun Building are also the most understanding, and they sing the lord's song with the most praise."

He didn't hold back when he mentioned the fireworks girl so straightforwardly, he was open and generous, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

In front of his colleagues, he has always shown such a free, easy and fearless appearance, but everyone knows that under this seemingly unrestrained skin of a dandy, there are many strategies in this brain that can maneuver thousands of horses and horses.

"Then if Feng Xiao wants to marry a wife, doesn't he also have to meet the condition that the singing suits your wishes?" Cao Cao teased, directly making fun of Guo Jia's private life.

As soon as he mentioned those things about getting a wife or starting a family, Guo Jia's face immediately returned to seriousness, as if he didn't want to think about such trivial matters at all.

He hurriedly changed the topic and fell into deep thought, as if he was recalling the past: "Jia still remembers that my lord once used chime bells to make a song in Qiaocheng's music workshop. Presumably, not only Jia, but also Madam Bian must have a deep memory of this, right?" .”

Although the other three people saw that he was so open-minded, they were used to it, but they didn't dare to say anything more.

Hearing this from behind the screen, Ah Sheng completely forgot what sheet music he was listening to at that time, and only remembered how stupid he was at that time, like a child who had never seen the world, staring blankly at Cao Cao who was playing the music , like an extremely obsessed admirer.

Presumably at that time, Guo Jia must have looked at her very innocently, so he remembered it to this day. I guess she must be a fool in the impression in his mind.

If it weren't for the bad time to go out to meet guests casually, otherwise she would have to beat him to relieve her anger.

On the contrary, Cao Cao laughed loudly when he heard it, as if he had caught A Sheng's slander behind his back.

She couldn't help panicking, with water in her mouth that she hadn't had time to swallow, and she choked her throat because she was anxious, and even covered her mouth and coughed a few times.

He ordered the guards at the door to come in and pour tea for the four of them. After a while, steaming smoke curled up into the air, and a light orchid-like fragrance emerged from the teacup.

After a round of toasting tea, Cao Cao began to discuss business matters.

"I will report the secret work buried by Yuan Shu alone. Yuan Jun has been defeated again and again, and has been forced into Jiangting. I just think that I can't let him linger on, after all, it's a long night and dreams."

"Why does my lord have to do it myself, so as not to cause a mess." After Cao Cao finished speaking, Guo Jia clasped his hands and replied.

"Oh, why did Feng Xiao make such a statement?"

"My subordinates also heard that when Yuan Shu was desperate, he believed that distant water could quench his thirst, so he sent his confidants to bring the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo sent from Sun Ce, and begged his brother Yuan Benchu ​​to send troops to rescue him."

At this time, Xun Yu raised his eyelids slightly, and looked at Cao Cao with his clear eyes. His voice was calm and powerful, "I have asked Duzhi Shangshu to support the army rations for March. The day before yesterday, I sent elite soldiers to Xuzhou to present Liu Bei. order to pursue Yuan Shu."

Cao Cao also gave him a heavy look, his approving eyes contained a heartfelt joy, "Does Lingjun want Liu Bei to come forward and attack so that Yuan Shao will not take his anger out on us?"

Xun Yu nodded and did not answer, but there was already acquiescence in his eyes.

"It's just letting Liu Bei go. It's tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain. Jia Zao said that he has great ambitions, and he will not be willing to be a fish in the shallows for a long time. Letting him go now is too far away, and he is afraid of endless troubles." Guo Jia said regretfully. , clinging to the folding fan, shook his head and sighed.

Cao Cao couldn't help feeling annoyed, stood up and approached them, and patted Guo Jia's shoulder heavily, "Back then, Feng Xiao advised me to kill Xuande early to prevent future troubles, but I regret that I didn't listen to Feng Xiao's advice, which delayed the great opportunity. "

Xun You, who had been silent by the side, suddenly spoke up. His voice was always gentle and powerful, and he pointed out: "My lord's great enemy is Yuan Benchu. Liu Bei doesn't have the strength to rise to a separatist regime in a short time. My lord really doesn't need to be distracted to deal with him. It's better Carefully win over pensions, less enemies and more people who can be monitored."

There was some cunning in his words, and Cao Cao meaningfully cast his gaze over it, showing that he had understood his intentions.

So he looked at Cheng Yu, who was stroking his beard, and said earnestly: "The orphan will trouble Demou, and send some cattle, sheep, wine and mash, and go to Liu Bei's place to reward the army in the name of the orphan."

Cheng Yu accepted the order, with a knowing look on his resolute face, he bowed his head and accepted the order: "If Liu Bei has a different ambition, Cheng will live up to Sikong's entrustment."

"Report—Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, the two generals, are asking to see you!"

Following the guard's loud announcement, Cao Cao hurriedly said, "Please come in."

"Why did they come to my house?"

These generals usually only discuss matters in the Sikong office, and never come to see him in the mansion, unless there is something urgent to tell.

When the two generals in heavy armor saw Cao Cao, excited smiles immediately appeared on their faces, and they both knelt down to announce the good news.

"Reporting to Sikong, the last general has intercepted the envoy sent by Yuan Shu to Yuan Shao to ask for peace, so he can't help but get the letter, and get it..."

Xu Shi was too excited, their voices were drowned in their throats, and they couldn't speak clearly and completely for a while.

Cao Cao couldn't help asking the guards to pour them two more cups of tea. After the two drank it all in one gulp, they wiped their mouths and laughed, "I got the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, which was ordered by heaven to live forever!"

As he spoke, he carefully took out the legendary Heshibi from his bosom, uncovered the red cloth devoutly, and presented it in front of Cao Cao respectfully.

The brilliance of the jade biscuits made the room full of glow after nightfall, flowing with glistening color.

Ah Sheng couldn't see clearly behind the screen, but could only vaguely see a piece of gold inlaid on one corner of it, shining so dazzlingly.

No wonder when Sun Jian salvaged it from the well in Luoyang, he saw that it was exuding five colors of light, and it was so precious that it was amazing.

And what makes people flock to it and even die is the whole world it relies on behind it.

Everyone stared at it intently, making no secret of their amazement at this thing.But soon, they all looked at each other and smiled, and easily shifted their eyes from Yuxi to Cao Cao.

"In Jia's opinion, although this item is valuable, it is also worthless." Guo Jia commented first.

Xia Houyuan couldn't help being anxious, he finally made a contribution but was so flirtatiously denied, but he could only be patient, and bowed his hands in a kind and respectful way: "Why should Guo Jijiu be so derogatory? I'm just a vulgar person, I only think it's extremely valuable , It is truly a treasure in the world."

"Hey," Cao Cao poured another cup of tea for the two generals with his own hands, and the latter took it with both hands in trepidation and hurriedly thanked him, "Guo Jijiu is actually right. Miaocai, Yuan Rang, what do you two want?" Wang Mang, Sun Jian, and Yuan Shu, who wanted to obtain this jade seal through unrighteous paths, were all heroes in the past, but what happened to the ending? So, is it something to be proud of to get this jade seal?"

Their faces changed suddenly, and they knelt down again with a "plop", saying: "We two only know the outside, not the inside, and I hope Sikong will forgive us."

Cao Cao hurriedly helped them up and said: "What Gu is looking for is definitely not just this jade seal, but the world that I want to conspire with you."

"Therefore, you go and enshrine the Chuanguo Yuxi to the emperor. This is something that belongs to his Han family, and you have no intention of coveting it."

Xun Yu looked deeply into his pupils, but said nothing.After a while, Cao Cao looked through the crowd, and also looked in Xun Yu's direction. After the two people's eyes met, Xun Yu smiled deeply, but he couldn't understand what it meant.

He was getting more and more confused about Xun Yu.

I don't know if it's a good thing or a downright bad thing.

Wen Ruo is like the white moon reflected in the pool, clearly exuding a bright light, but it is impossible to guess what he is thinking.The elegant and elegant manner may be the alienation and deliberate indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away.

The charcoal fire in the room was burning vigorously, creating a warm atmosphere.The tea on the top of the desk was already warm, and it was continuously releasing white gas into the air, like the scent of smoked ebony.

The two generals Xiahou and Cheng Yu had already been ordered to go out to handle errands, and the familiar three were still standing in the study.

The night bugs outside were still chirping tirelessly, A Sheng rubbed her eyes wearily, sleepiness floated up her head, she yawned and wanted to fall into a deep sleep.

Leaning lazily on the inside of the screen, Xu Shiye was already very late, but when she closed her eyelids, she drifted off into sleep.

Several people were still discussing matters in the front hall, only to hear a sudden "snap", and the huge screen suddenly fell down unexpectedly.

They followed the sound in surprise and looked back, just in time to see the dazed face of the woman who was sleeping soundly, and even chattered "grapes" and "glutinous rice cakes" in sleep...
