Wu County, Jia Mansion.

Jia Xu was lying on the couch, with tea and desserts placed on the table beside him, humming some Wu Hui tunes from time to time, enjoying the rare rest time.

Compared with two months ago, Jia Xu's figure is obviously more rounded, and even her skin tone is much whiter.

In the past two months, Jia Xu has undoubtedly been in a very good mood. There is no need to worry about writing documents, and there is no confusion about Zikun. Going to the government office every day is almost a formality.

The salary was still there, and there was little work. Unlike Liu Bei, who always paid attention to the war trends in the southern part of Wu County, Jia Xu knew that dealing with that small area was just a piece of cake for Li Ji, and it was simply impossible.

With such a relaxed and comfortable mind, how can Jia Xu not gain weight?

At this moment, Jia Mu hurriedly walked in and said.

"Father, the concierge is here to report that Mr. Zikun is visiting?"

This sentence made Jia Xu's palms holding the tea cup tremble.

"not see!"

Jia Xu's answer came out of his mouth.

Jamu asked with some confusion. "Why doesn't father see Mr. Zikun?"

"Li Zikun got married yesterday, and today he came to visit in a hurry. Could it be some good thing?"

After Jia Xu judged with a very certain tone, he began to guess.

"Could it be that some big change occurred in the southern part of Wu County? Li Zikun could not have predicted that such mistakes would not occur!"

"But it's definitely not a good thing! Mu'er, go and stop Li Zikun and tell him that my father caught a cold at a banquet last night and is seriously ill and cannot see the guests."

After saying that, Jia Xu quickly climbed up from the couch and began to tidy up the various fruits and snacks that were full on the table in a hurry. Jia Mu was stunned for a moment.

This made Jia Xu slightly dissatisfied with Jia Mu's slowness and said. "Why are you still standing there? Go quickly, otherwise the concierge will not be able to stop Li Zikun."

"Yes, father."

Just when Jia Mu hurriedly backed out of the door, Li Ji's footsteps could be heard in the distance.

"Wenhe!"

Jia Mu quickly closed the door under Jia Xu's gaze, and then walked towards Li Ji.

"Mr. Zikun, Mr. Zikun, please shush. My father caught wind and cold last night. He struggled all night and just managed to fall asleep. Please don't wake me up."

Jia Mu's faint voice came in from outside the house, which made Jia Xu feel a little relieved. After quickly packing up the miscellaneous things, he lay back on the couch and covered himself with a quilt to pretend to fall asleep. .

"Wen He is sick? Has a doctor diagnosed Wen He?" Li Ji asked.

"A doctor has already come to my door. He said that my father needs to take more care recently and should not work too hard, let alone see guests."

Jia Mu's voice continued to reach Jia Xu's ears, which made Jia Xu quite pleased. It seemed that his son still knew how to act when necessary.

"Is it true that you are so ill that you can't see guests?" Li Ji asked with a hint of doubt in his voice.

"No."

Jamu sighed and answered loudly, but his head was nodding up and down.

Jia Mu said no, but his head was nodding. He looked at Guo Jia who was following Li Ji. Although he didn't quite understand, he was shocked.

Whose son is Jia Mu, and why does his filial piety seem to be turning towards Li Ji?
And Li Ji naturally understood it very well, and his tone suddenly became higher, and he spoke with a bit of sadness.

"I don't want to think that yesterday Monk Wen attended the banquet with a cheerful face, but today he is already sick. Things in the world are unpredictable! No, I have to see Wen He no matter what today, otherwise I may not be able to live forever next time. ”

After that, Li Ji strode towards the door.

Jia Mu also shouted in a panic while guiding Li Ji. "Mr. Zikun, Mr. Zikun, don't do this. If you disturb your father, your father's condition will become worse."

Jia Xu heard everything going on outside the house clearly.

As the door was forced open, Jia Xu, who had his back to the door, quickly closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing rate, and pretended to fall asleep.

Jia Xu expected that if Li Ji still had some sense of conscience and was not sure whether he was really seriously ill or pretending to be ill, he would test it lightly and then leave voluntarily.

However, what Jia Xu never expected was that Li Ji had already gotten the exact answer from his great eldest son.

So after entering the house, Li Ji looked at Jia Xu who was lying on the couch and seemed to be sick, and immediately started crying exaggeratedly.

"Wenhe, ah, Wenhe, things are unpredictable. Just now, nephew Mu said that you were seriously ill and couldn't bear it. Ji still didn't believe it. I didn't expect you to be seriously ill and bedridden."

"It's so sad, it's so painful, I have pity on you and I have an irresistible relationship, we are brothers and sisters, but today is such a disaster, how should I deal with it? Is it because God is jealous of talents, and God wants to leave me alone to assist the master in his great cause?"

Hearing this series of words, Guo Jia only felt that they were touching, and felt that nothing was quite right.

Immediately, Li Ji's voice changed and he said.

"Don't worry, Wen He. I'm going to invite Zhang Zhongjing for you right away and ask him to cure your disease no matter what. Then I'll call the lord and the others here so that you can explain all the unfinished words. "Clearly." "Even if Wen He passes away unfortunately, he can leave without leaving any regrets. As a result of our friendship, your wife and children will be taken care of by me from now on and treated as our own."

After hearing this, Jia Xu knew that he could no longer pretend.

Otherwise, if Li Ji really invites Zhang Zhongjing and Liu Bei, the atmosphere will be so heightened that it would be inappropriate to not die.

"Cough cough cough..."

Jia Xu pretended to cough and woke up from his dream, and spoke weakly.

"I asked who is here. It turns out to be Zikun."

Li Ji, who was cooperating with Jia Xu's performance, squeezed Jia Xu to his heart's content, strode forward, sat on the edge of the couch, held Jia Xu's hand, and spoke in a sad tone.

"Wenhe, Wenhe, I'm late, I'm late."

That is to say, Li Ji's acting skills are far inferior to Liu Bei's, and the tears cannot come at will. He can only touch his face with one hand to prevent his expression from breaking out and laughing.

However, when Jia Xu saw that there was an outsider like Guo Jia in the room, he still wanted to save some face. He waved to Jia Mu and Guo Jia and said.

"You guys will go down first. I want to talk to Zikun... ahem... something."

"Yes, father."

Jia Mu bowed and raised his hands in response, and then led Guo Jia out of the room without forgetting to close the door.

After Jia Mu and Guo Jia left, the look of weakness on Jia Xu's face disappeared, she lifted the quilt and sat up directly, saying.

"Okay, you Li Zikun is so shameless. If a bad visitor comes to your door, you can't even push him out."

"Wen He, these words have deeply hurt my heart. I regard you as an elder, so I don't forget to visit you as a newlywed." Li Ji replied with a bit of sadness.

Jia Xu did not believe this statement at all.

He then bowed and moved the tea set, snacks, fruits, etc. from under the couch to the table, then poured another cup of tea for Li Ji and said.

"Since we are newlyweds and Zikun is not at home with his beloved wife, why did he come to my place?"

Li Ji's expression turned solemn and he said seriously.

"We certainly have important matters to discuss."

This made Jia Xu's expression straighten a bit, and he looked at Li Ji in front of him.

After Li Ji thought about it for a while, he said. "I have made it clear to my lord that troubled times are coming, and my lord has decided to follow Guangwu's example."

Suddenly, Jia Xu couldn't help but reveal a bit of joy, understanding how significant this change in Liu Bei's attitude would be.

"Only Zikun might be able to persuade the lord in this way. If it were anyone else, he would be dragged down and beheaded by the lord as a traitor as soon as he opened his mouth."

After a pause, Jia Xu suddenly realized something, narrowed his eyes and said. "Zi Kun's purpose of coming here is not just to tell you the news, right?"

"The overall situation of the war in the southern part of Wu County has been decided. The governor of Kuaiji County has been captured. For the development of Kuaiji County and the livelihood of the people, I intend to 'hijack Guo Yi to control Kuaiji'."

Li Ji still had that serious tone and said something that shocked Jia Xu. Before Jia Xu could react, Li Ji continued.

"In the near future, I will go to Kuaiji County to take charge of the overall situation, so I am here specifically to hand over some official duties to Wen He."

Suddenly, Jia Xu's face completely collapsed.

If it were the silly boy Jia Mu, he might have thought that this was the beginning of Li Ji's trust and that he was about to be placed in high hopes and given a heavy responsibility.

However, how could Jia Xu not understand that no one could replace Li Ji's position in Liu Bei's group.

Not only is Li Ji's ability irreplaceable, but more importantly, Liu Bei's trust in Li Ji is irreplaceable.

Some things Li Ji touched were trivial in Liu Bei's opinion, but if someone else had touched them, it might have been fatal.

Furthermore, Li Ji was in charge of the governor's seal, the governor's seal and the military talisman. Even if these three things were given to Jia Xu, would Jia Xu dare to take them?
But without these three things, even if Li Ji handed over all official duties, would Jia Xu dare to take over?
Therefore, Li Ji was completely trying to retreat. It seemed that he took the initiative to take charge of Kuaiji County, but in fact, he was hinting at Jia Xu both inside and outside his words.

For a moment, Jia Xu's resentful eyes looked as if he had lost his wife yesterday. He even snatched back the tea he had just filled for Li Ji and took a sip.

"I know that you, Li Zikun, don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for any reason, so if you show up deliberately, there will be no harm done."

"Why did Wen He slander me and ruin my reputation like this?" Li Ji asked in confusion.

"Alas! I might as well be seriously ill."

Jia Xu sighed and said. "Zikun, there's no need to put on airs. What's the situation in Kuaiji County? Please tell me."

Immediately, Li Ji, who smiled knowingly, did not press forward and introduced the current situation in Kuaiji County in detail.

During the whole process, Jia Xu listened silently and analyzed secretly.

After Li Ji finished speaking, Jia Xu asked. "Then Gan Ning and Jiang Zhi, why have I never heard of their names?" (End of this chapter)
