Lord Yuan

Chapter 41 Xun Chen

Guo Tu, who was in control of the situation, looked at a man in brown clothes not far away, sitting quietly cross-legged, seemingly out of place with everyone around him.

The man's skin color was lighter than that of ordinary people. He seemed to be slightly pale. Sitting there, there was an air of bookishness about him that was difficult to conceal.

His delicate and elegant face had a pair of deep eyes that seemed to read a thousand things. He inadvertently raised his head and looked here, showing a confident and determined attitude.

Yuan Shao suddenly noticed several different gazes. He looked forward calmly with a heroic look on his face, his eyes were bright and he had an extremely indifferent attitude on his face.

When he saw the elegant man, his demeanor changed instantly, as if he had seen an old friend.

"Xun Chen."

Yuan Shao murmured to himself, his voice was so low that only Jing Gu beside him heard it.

"Brother Benchu ​​knows this person?" Jing Gu wondered secretly. Without saying anything, he heard Yuan Shao beside him talking to himself again.

Yuan Shao seemed to be a different person.

"Xun Chen, a descendant of the Xun family, is smart and studious, and has gained many reputations since he was a child."

"Brother Benchu, have you seen him?"

Yuan Shao said nothing, but took out the letter from Xu You in his arms.

The confirmation letter was still in his arms, and he pulled Jing Gu and smiled and joked: "When I was in poverty, I accidentally got help from Xun Chen and Guo Tu, and relied on their strategies to seize Han Fu's Jizhou and dominate the four secluded Jizhou. "

Jing Gu tentatively touched Yuan Shao's forehead.

"It's weird. Why is Benchu ​​so weird today? It seems like he can't control himself since he saw Guo Tu."

"Brother Benchu, please stop joking. This is the Guo Mansion. People don't want to hear your jokes like this. If you offend Guo Gongze, it is said that he will retaliate." Jing Gu looked around and thought, Yuan Shao's previous voice was very low and did not disturb others.

Otherwise, I really can’t explain it clearly.

It's just that Yuan Benchu ​​said he has a nose and eyes.

If he hadn't known that the current Youzhou governor was controlled by Liu Yu, a clan member of the Han Dynasty.

Actually, I was almost coaxed by what he said.

Yuan Shao regained his composure, but Guo Tu, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai on the high platform, became interested. He called the people beside him and pointed in the direction of Yuan Shao.

"Go, bring that person to the front, ask about his family background, and see what talents he has. Since he can enter my Guo Mansion, he must have enough ability. If he is of the same level as the others and has no family background, then Then he thrust out his stick and didn't want to dirty the faces of the gentlemen present."

After receiving the order, the man licked his smile, jumped up the steps, and walked slowly towards the door under the gaze of everyone.

"I dare to ask you how you entered Gongze's Guo Mansion, and whether you have talents and knowledge. All the gentlemen present are among the famous people in Yingchuan. If not, I can only ask you to finish this glass of wine and leave quickly. Go ahead."

A playful smile slipped across the visitor's thin lips, and he looked at the indifferent Yuan Shao quietly.

Yuan Shao was about to announce his identity when Jing Gu, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly took over the conversation with a smile: "He is a student of Master Li. I heard that Brother Gongze was having a banquet here today and wanted to come and help Brother Gongze." I'm late because Teacher Li was teaching late and didn't notify me in advance. I hope you'll forgive me for being late."

Jing Gu lowered his head and admitted his mistake. He didn't expect that he and Yuan Shao just came in to get to know Yingchuan celebrities and make friends along the way.

No matter what, he didn't want to provoke the man in yellow shirt on the stage. After all, this was in someone else's mansion, so he had better keep a low profile to avoid incurring resentment.

Jing Gu had also heard some rumors about Guo Gongze, but he didn't know whether they were true or false.But he didn't want to gamble. With his status, he couldn't recognize such a famous family as the Guo family.

Coupled with the unfriendly tone of this person, he had every reason to believe that Guo Gongze must have thought of some crooked idea.

Naturally, he was afraid that Yuan Shao would overturn the table if he was just full of blood, so he had to speak quickly.

No matter what, he couldn't just ignore things that didn't concern him.

Not to mention that Yuan Shao was brought in by him.

Jing Gu's series of operations actually made the visitor's face soften.

When he heard that he was a student of Master Li, the visitor hurriedly complained: "Since he is a student of Master Li, it is natural and reasonable. Everyone, please sit down first. I will ask Gongzhi and see what the arrangements are next."

Jing Gu also had a smile on his face, and did not relax at all because the visitor lowered his posture.

Yuan Shao also didn't expect that Master Li's reputation would be so powerful in this gathering of the younger generation.

Looking at the cryptic and arrogant expression of the visitor, it is not difficult to tell that he may have performed this behavior countless times before.

Perhaps it was Guo Tu who was giving instructions from behind, or perhaps he was using Guo Tu's prestige to pretend to be powerful.

But Yuan Shao didn't care about that. His target was not Guo Tu, but Xun Chen, who was sitting quietly aside like an outsider.

Guo Tu is just a wise but not very wise leader, and coupled with his character of coveting small immediate gains and disregarding long-term development, Yuan Shao cannot let this guy appear in his ranks of advisers no matter what in his life.

"Gongze, that person is a student of Master Li, what should I do?" The visitor had a flattering look on his face and his body was very low. It was completely different from his previous attitude towards Yuan Shao.

"Besides being a student of Master Li, what else is there?" Guo Tu was also surprised. Although he often held parties here, no student of Master Li had ever come.

Today, two more people came right away.

Master Li has always disliked his students forming cliques and making peace with each other. Why would he let two students come here today?

Although Guo Tu was considered one of the second or third-rate in resourcefulness in the world, he was a little confused when faced with the sudden visit of Master Li's students.

Fortunately, this is his home court, and he can't make any waves.

"did not ask."

Guo Tu was a little angry, looking at Zhao Si, who was usually very shrewd in doing things, suddenly became dull and angry.

"Then why don't you hurry up and invite Master Li here? If outsiders know that I, Mr. Guo, have neglected Master Li, I don't know how they will talk about me."

Guo Tu commanded while arranging seats closer to the front for Yuan Shao and the others.

When Zhao Si trotted all the way again and came to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao, his attitude was completely different, and he was no longer arrogant as before.

However, when Jing Gu saw that the other party was no longer arrogant, he warmly put his arms around his shoulders and exchanged greetings.

If Yuan Shao hadn't known that this was just their first meeting, he would have thought that they were close friends who had known each other for a long time.

"Zhao Si?" Yuan Shao found this name a bit strange, and smiled slightly.
