Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times

Chapter 147 A Bad Premonition

Xu Jiashu sat on his knees, holding his chin in his hand, thinking about when to promote Xiaomazha on a large scale - he didn't have the iron knees he had practiced since he was a child.

This stuff has actually been introduced to the Central Plains, and was even very popular with the late Emperor Liu Hong.

According to "Book of the Later Han·Five Elements Chronicles": "Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was fond of Hu clothes, Hu tents, Hu beds, Hu seats, Hu rice...all the nobles and relatives in Kyoto competed for them."

The Hu bed mentioned here is Xiaomazha.

However, in most areas, sitting on the floor is still the mainstream among scholars.

No matter how you look at it, Liu Ying's study is a pure office space. Even the air is filled with a refreshing and refreshing woody fragrance. Looking around, the processed documents are packed into categories and piled high. .

You know, it was only two months before she took the initiative to become the housekeeper of the internal affairs.

Such a diligent Liu Ying is really embarrassing - such as a certain man named Xu.

Since leaving Boluo Valley, Xu Jiashu has spent most of his time outside, traveling to Yang Qiu, Ma Teng, Han Sui, and the northwest of Anding County, but he has never spent much time in his base camp of Wushi County.

Maybe it was because he had been away from home for too long, but now when he was alone with Liu Ying, he actually felt a little guilty for no reason.
Subconsciously, Xu Jiashu sat a little far away.

"Why are you so far away from me?" Liu Ying rolled his eyes at him dissatisfied, patted his side and said, "Sit over here, I won't bite you."

"But..." Xu Jiashu pondered for a moment and said, "I can't guarantee that I won't."

No matter what, you can't lose with your words.

"Oh?" Her Royal Highness the Princess stared into his eyes, with surprise in her eyes, "Has Xu Zimao learned to bite? Wasn't it Dong Zhuo's granddaughter who taught him?"

Yes, what is supposed to come has come. Whenever Xu Jiashu tries to revive his husband, he will be hugged and warned. He is almost used to it.
But to his surprise, unlike Miss Cai, who had to complete a series of fatal questions, Liu Ying just made a few words to express that he knew about the matter, and then passed it over lightly without saying anything. The words that made him sweat profusely seemed like he didn't take it to heart at all.

Xu Jiashu couldn't believe it. He stood up and walked towards Liu Ying, but he was still wary - how could things be so simple?
Sure enough, after he sat next to him, Liu Ying immediately put down what he was holding and began to approach slowly.
Want to bite me?
Xu Jiashu wanted to dodge the possible attack, but found that Her Royal Highness the Princess was not here to bite anyone at all. Two slender and voluptuous jade arms tightly wrapped around him, and the whole body was half leaning against his ear. Bian said softly: "That girl from the Ma family seems to be observing us."

With the warm and fragrant nephrite in his arms, Xu Jiashu felt a numb itch spreading from his spine to his limbs, spreading to every inch of his body, and then suddenly shot up, finally gathering at Tianling Gai.

Dizzy.

As for what the person close at hand said, he didn't pay attention at all. He just vaguely seemed to hear the word "horse".

What kind of winter plum is it?
The sneak attack was successful, and the effect was outstanding!

Seeing Xu Jiashu's wandering look, Liu Ying quietly smiled as if he had succeeded in his mischief - what? I thought this man's heart was made of stone.
Just as Her Royal Highness the Princess was preparing to continue her research on materials science, an inappropriate voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Zimao", Cai Yan called softly: "Are you here?"

Gee.

As soon as Liu Ying loosened his clasped hands, he sat upright, held up the bamboo slips, and returned to the diligent mode. Except for his breath being slightly unstable, it was almost flawless!
Xu Jiashu recognized Cai Yan's voice, his whole body was excited, and he subconsciously replied in a low voice: "Here he is, he is."

Don't dare to speak loudly, for fear of outsiders.

It seemed like he answered, but he didn't seem to answer, which made Cai Yan shout a few more times, his little face turned red due to lack of oxygen.

When she finally came in, the two people in the study seemed to have no flaws.

Well, only on the surface.

Cai Yan frowned and sniffed, and found that things were not simple - there was something wrong in the air.
Of course, it doesn't mean that something is wrong. Due to her limited knowledge, Miss Cai tends to call hormones the smell of desire, or more straightforwardly, the smell of a doggy girl.

Xu Jiashu and Liu Ying continued their previous conversation seriously.

"You mean Ma Yunluan is observing us?" Xu Jiashu touched his chin and pretended to think, "It's normal, she can't walk when she sees a beautiful girl." Well, why do I use "also"?
"It's the first time I've met her, so I don't know her very well." Liu Ying also nodded, "If the Ma girl has such a personality, then maybe I'm overly concerned."

"So I'm talking about something serious," Cai Yan said with a half-smile, "Then I almost disturbed you. I came at the wrong time."

"No", Xu Jiashu stretched out his hand, "You came at the right time!"

Don't ask him why he said this, he just wanted to cosplay Li Xunhuan.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Cai Yan raised his eyebrows and asked in disbelief: "Do you know the news?"

"Do I know the news?"

Xu Jiashu was thinking crazily about what news he should know, but fortunately Miss Cai immediately said it, "Yang Qiu heard that Ma Chao raised his troops to the east, and he has already agreed to go to Chang'an!"

In fact, it’s not surprising that Yang Qiu gave in. What kind of reputation does Ma Chao have now?
At just 15 years old, he relied on his connections and wisdom to kick a veteran rebel like Han Sui away to Chang'an. He didn't even hear of anyone giving him advice, which means that the whole process was done by one hand. All arranged.

How long has it been since the Han Dynasty had such a young general?
Hearing that Ma Chao didn't even bother to urge, but instead led the troops in person, Yang Qiu had no intention of resisting and immediately said: "It's all a misunderstanding. The headquarters is making preparations for departure, and will soon go to Chang'an and Zuo as scheduled. The generals gathered together and asked Major General Ma to accept the gift and turn the hostility into friendship."

Yang Qiu's plan was very simple. If he could get away with it, he would get through it. If he couldn't get through it, he would be a coward and take a small group of people to Chang'an to check in and work. If there was any trouble, he would immediately find a reason to go home.

Plan pass.

A golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as his own doghouse. For him, Linjing, his hometown that has been in business for many years, is the capital for him to settle down and live.

"."

Upon hearing the news, Xu Jiashu and Liu Ying both looked startled, and the initial shyness of being caught red-handed disappeared instantly.

"if so."

Her Royal Highness the Princess thought for a moment and made a terrible guess, "Will Ma Chao beat us up?"

The so-called fake road to attack Guo, the temptation to hunt rabbits in the grass is too great - swallow the entire Anding County in one bite.

"Probably not," Xu Jiashu said confidently, "Ma Chao and I have a close friendship, not to mention that he is planning to expand westward and has no interest in the barren land of Anding County."

It should be noted that although Liangzhou is large, there are only a few wealthy counties with population and property in Longxi, Hanyang and Jincheng. These places happen to be on Ma Chao's lips.

Anding County, with the Jing River passing through it, should have been classified as a prosperous county, but the previous inward migration of people had really hurt its vitality, resulting in it being reduced to a second-class territory.

One of them is not to abandon the near for the far.

The more important reason is of course.
Ma Chao has not even figured out how to march now. Before he truly adapts to his identity as a leader, it is impossible to launch a large-scale conquest. You can rest assured about this.

"Oh," Cai Yan nodded, and then said, "But how the two families will get along in the future must be prepared first."

In the currently empty Liangzhou, although Ma Teng took away the elite field troops, even the remaining ones, combined with Ma Chao's prestige, the Ma family can still pull out a force that cannot be underestimated.

"Let's do this," Xu Jiashu thought for a while, "I'll find a way to test Ma Chao's attitude."

After Dong Bai left, there was no room for the many simulations, and the favorability of him was too high, and Ma Yunluo's favorability was obviously far from 80.

In other words, it is entirely possible to deduce Ma Chao's attitude by simulating Ma Yunluan.

"."

Hearing this, the two women looked at each other, and invariably saw a hint of something bad in each other's eyes.
