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

Chapter 163 Going to Chang'an

The west wind is getting cooler.

Over in Chang'an, the new Cavalry General Dong Min is not like his dead brother, who likes to shout to the world by changing the era. As expected, the upcoming year will still follow the era name of "Chu Ping". .

It was the second year of Chuping.

In the original timeline, our Dong Xiansen was still alive and well at this time. He was stationed in Luoyang until April before returning to Chang'an. The family had no strong external support and internal damage to their foundations, so they could only let him do whatever he wanted.

The completely blackened Taishi Dong and the scholars were in a real fight. With Zhang Wen's innocent murder as the trigger, the two groups of scholars planned assassination plans executed by Wu Fu and Lu Bu respectively. The former was defeated because Dong Zhuo's force value was too high, and later The latter succeeded, but the last hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty was completely shattered by Wang Yun's arrogance and Jia Xu's lawless rebellion.

Even though many things have changed beyond recognition under Xu Jiashu's influence, one thing has remained unchanged, that is, the situation in Chang'an will largely determine the future direction.

It is not only the future of the Han Dynasty, but also the future of everyone.

Although history seems endless, it is often just a few events and moments that play a decisive role.

Xu Jiashu could feel that the moment was coming.

He wanted to go to Chang'an alone.

First, both military expansion and trade can be left to others.

Huan Boxu and Gan Xingba are both civil and military. They have been independent figures since the founding of Boluo Valley. Their ability and loyalty are unquestionable, and there is no need for him to stay here to take charge.

On the other hand, in order to truly and effectively influence the development of events in Chang'an, Xu Jiashu must be there.

If he still chooses to watch the fire from the sidelines in the early stage, then he will waste the time he has earned. The final difference from the simulation is just that he brings more soldiers. There will be no less problems when the time comes. Is it really possible to copy left and right? Horizontal jump operation, to be that loner?

After thinking about it this way, the answer is obvious - I want to go, and the fewer people there, the better.

You know, going alone and going with nearly [-] troops are completely different concepts.

In the former, Xu Jiashu can travel among the various forces in Chang'an as an old friend (or old lover), and with the advantage of possessing a simulator and his connections with all parties, his personal safety will not be threatened; in the latter, The entry of a force that represents a family with the ability to break the balance will only cause unnecessary vigilance and alienation, but will prevent him from letting go.

Chang'an is not a Jedi - after all, who can be against him?

Dong Bai can't do it, Liu Xie can't do it, even Wang Bangsheng. I mean Wang Situ, there is no way he is still thinking of killing him to silence him. If he has a little bit of brains, he will try to win over this disciple who already controls Anding County. Old officials.

Be more confident, Xu Zimao is a hot commodity now.

Xu Jiashu led Wang Yi to Ma Yunluo's room and introduced her new friend to the brown-haired ponytail girl.

"This is Miss Wang Yi from the Ayang Wang family. She will be your neighbor from now on. Since you two are from the same hometown, you might as well get closer and closer."

"Wow! What a cute sister!"

Ma Yunluo, who was still sulking at Xu Jiashu, ignored him and ran over to hug Wang Yi. Although they were not much different in age, he was nearly a head taller than her.

"Why do you look like you just cried?" The brown-haired girl came closer and saw her red eyes, and couldn't help but ask: "You weren't bullied by some bad guy, were you?"

After speaking, he glanced at Xu Jiashu calmly.

?

Who are you calling a bad person?
In Xu Jiashu's mind, various unspeakable ways to play in the memory scenes emerged one after another - sister, don't get caught by me. If you are caught by me, I will have your juice!
"My name is Ma Yunluo," the brown-haired girl introduced herself very briefly, "I am from the Ma family."

This is enough.

After all, how could anyone in Hanyang County not have heard of the Ma family?
Hearing this, Wang Yi blinked, and it took several seconds to digest the news that her neighbor was Ma Teng's daughter - her home was on someone else's territory, and if she didn't get along well with her, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible. Something big is going to happen.
You have to be careful with your words and deeds!

Ma Yunluo didn't know what this girl who was similar to his own age was thinking. Her appearance-control attributes exploded uncontrollably. She couldn't handle this delicate and delicate little sister. She treated Xu Jiashu like a dish. Set aside.

All I can say is, whether it's true or false, girls have this ability to look like sisters sharing weal and woe with new friends they've just met.

Seeing Ma Yunluan's enthusiasm, Wang Yi, who had been in the boudoir for a long time, was obviously not used to it. He could only follow her rhythm and talk about girls' private words, and took the time to cast an apologetic look at Xu Jiashu.

Yes, it's none of my business.

Anyway, he hoped that the relationship between the two of them would be good, so Xu Jiashu was not annoyed. He said goodbye to the two of them, and then set off to find everyone to discuss going to Chang'an, and also to make arrangements for his departure.
hiss--

Why doesn't it sound unlucky?
When he walked to the hall, he saw that everyone had already dispersed, leaving only Liu Ying sitting at the head, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, his beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed.

After comforting Cai Yan, who was in a bad mood, she stayed to continue handling government affairs.

It's just that the women of the old Liu family are uniquely capable.

Looking at the familiar elegant figure of the eldest princess, Xu Jiashu couldn't help but feel warm in his heart - there were fires everywhere in the backyard, but Liu Ying was the only one who was still as stable as a mountain. Needless to say, what is Tianjia style?

He quietly moved to the side of the eldest princess and was about to discuss going to Chang'an. Unexpectedly, Liu Ying put the bamboo slips in his hand on the desks, turned around and hugged him.

By the time Xu Jiashu reacted, Liu Ying had already gently placed his head on his shoulder.

"I'm so tired," the eldest princess said to herself in a low voice with her eyes half-closed like a cat, as if talking in her sleep, "Just don't move, I'll just lean on you for a while and I'll be fine."

it is really hard.

It is definitely not an easy thing to go from a prisoner who has been in the palace and knows nothing about the outside world to becoming a qualified or even outstanding person in power in the eyes of everyone.

Confucius said: Those who are born with knowledge are the best.But how can anyone in the world know this from birth?
The price of being a saint in front of others is to spend countless time and energy behind others. Her noble status alone cannot take over the burden on Huan Jie's shoulders. She must behave impeccably at all times.

Because she is the eldest princess, she cannot make any mistakes in her words or make any mistakes in her actions. Every word must be carefully considered, and every command must be as if it is walking on thin ice.

She also wanted to take a break.

"okay"

Xu Jiashu adjusted the angle slightly, so that the front was completely facing Liu Ying - probably in a sticking position, so that she could rest more comfortably.

Feeling his movement, Liu Ying closed his eyes and showed a harmless smile of satisfaction.

Even a heinous person might put down his butcher knife on the spot when he sees this smile and go to Baima Temple in Luoyang to become a monk and worship Buddha. Unfortunately, this smile can only be seen on the wall behind him.Is time passing?

I don't know, Xu Jiashu just felt like he was soaking in a hot spring, being slowly healed, and not anxious about anything anymore - don't people live for moments like this?

"I think", after an unknown amount of time, Xu Jiashu, who felt that he was resurrected with full blood, started talking about business, "I should go to Chang'an, because"

"No", before he finished speaking, Liu Ying raised his head and rolled his eyes at him, "I just came back and I have to go out again soon, because nothing works!"

What a piece of wood!
Coming from a real harem, Her Royal Highness the Princess would not usually get angry because of jealousy, but now she understands Cai Yan's feelings and wishes she could push him away and punch him hard!
Such a good atmosphere was completely ruined by opening my mouth.

"Did you know that the Cai family girl is crying?" Before Xu Jiashu could continue to quibble, she threw out the decisive blow.

"This happened?" Xu Jiashu was shocked and quickly asked: "When did it happen?"

From his perspective, Cai Yan was the first to mock Wang Yi.

"When else?" Liu Ying tilted his head and silently condemned with his eyes, "After you and the Wang girl leave."

That's right, Miss Cai is the kind of character who will say slanderous words when she is angry, and then shed tears after she finishes speaking.

This was very difficult, and Xu Jiashu's heart sank.

Every time I warned myself not to be sorry for Cai Yan, she didn't cry when she was in the most dangerous and desperate situation, but now she is crying.

How about forgetting?

He began to waver.

"I have an idea." Seeing that his expression was wrong, Liu Ying leaned into his ear and said, "If Xu Zimao must go, take Miss Cai's family with me."

"How can this be done? It's not like we're going on an outing."

Xu Jiashu subconsciously retorted, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that the eldest princess was right. A few more people would not affect the flexibility of the action, but might have an unexpected effect.

Cai Yan, the empress' master, Liu Ying, the eldest princess, and Lu Lingqi, the daughter of Lu Bu, are all characters who can play a role at critical moments.

"Xu Zimao, you can't always take risks alone," Liu Ying told him seriously, "We are not your pets or anything else. We can only sit back and enjoy the benefits."

As time went by in power, the eldest princess's temperament as a royal sister became stronger and stronger. When she was serious, she was very powerful. She was no longer the ignorant girl who was locked up in the palace. Xu Jiashu's words made Xu Jiashu silent and couldn't help but reflect on his recent actions. .

The consequences of blindly trusting oneself were already obvious in the last simulation.

"I was wrong," he admitted his mistake simply, "I will consider your words, but should I go to Cai Yan first?"

"I've comforted you," Liu Ying said confidently, "The Cai family girl knows that she shouldn't say that kind of thing. If Xu Zimao goes now, she doesn't know what to do."

After saying that, he showed a sly smile, "So how is Xu Zimao going to thank me?"

Soon, the candidates for Chang'an were selected.

In addition to Xu Jiashu himself, Liu Ying, Cai Yan and Lu Lingqi were qualified to travel at public expense.

Ma Yunluo had to stay and be responsible for communicating with Ma Chao, and he couldn't abduct his sister to Guanzhong without permission. It was a pity that he lost the election.

Wang Yi was originally on the list, but the reason cannot be told to everyone - the favorability of the other three women is already very high. Although the simulation can still play a role in the deduction, the settlement reward cannot be obtained, while Wang Yi can Those who continue to gain simulation benefits and have a smart mind may come up with some good ideas.

As for why he didn't go in the end, the main reason was that Xu Jiashu considered that Miss Cai had a quarrel with her, and compared with Cai Yan's feelings, it was okay not to give up a small reward!

After the final list was announced, there was silence.

"Zimao," Huan Jie was the first to speak, and Huan Boxu cried with a sad face, "You and I will live and die together, why are you leaving me here alone?"

That's almost it, you just don't want to stay and work overtime!
As soon as Liu Ying left, Huanjie would have to return to the dark life of a social animal, which was naturally something that 1 people were unwilling to do.

Sometimes Xu Jiashu wondered if he had made a mistake and found a guy with the same name. Except for the fact that he was righteous and consistent with history, at other times Huan Jie didn't look like a person who could fulfill the orders of Cao Wei Shangshu.

"No," he refused expressionlessly: "Anding County cannot live without Boxu, just like Luoyang cannot live without Mang Mountain."

In comparison, Gan Xingba is much more reliable.

"Zimao, go ahead." He played with the halberds in his hands, "As long as I'm here, that boy from the Ma family will never take a step into Anding County!"

In fact, there is no need to be so hostile.
Xu Jiashu waved his hand, but he still didn't say this sentence after all.

I know Xingba's temper very well. Although the severe chuunibyou that he suffered from when we first met has improved a lot, his brave and fierce side has only increased. The specific manifestation is that he can't stand it when he sees a high-level warrior. I always wanted to discuss and learn from each other, and even now I still miss Lu Bu.
In the final analysis, the beatings were not enough.

However, when we look at the generals in the early Three Kingdoms, there are really not many in Kansai. Except for ourselves, the young Ma Chao and Pang De are already top-notch. The real gathering of generals depends on the princes of Guandong, a plain. Xiang has two enemies under his command. Can anyone else do it?
No wonder Gan Ning was so hostile to Ma Chao and couldn't stand it.

"With Xingba here, I feel relieved." Xu Jiashu made Gan Ning comfortable like a child, and then said goodbye to everyone.

When passing by Fazheng, I couldn't help but rub this home-trained SSR and asked, "Has Fazheng gained anything recently?"

After observing politics for so long, we always have to ask what the effect will be.

"I'm stupid," Fazheng replied seriously, "I can only get it once."

"Oh?" Xu Jiashu became interested and asked, "What did you get?"

"Since I was a child, I have read a lot of books in my home. I have always thought highly of myself and thought I knew a little bit about the world." The young man's words were sincere and profound. "Now I realize that I am just a fool."

"Great!"

Xu Jiashu couldn't help but raised his palms and praised: "With this achievement, those who will soar in the world in the future will definitely be rectified by the law in Yi County!"

After breaking the willows to say goodbye, the group set off from Linjing County and headed straight for Chang'an. There were only a few people, just like when they arrived.
