Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 77 The Show Begins

After all, Jia Xu is not an ordinary person. Although Liu Xie's actions caught him off guard, he quickly regained his form.

"As a Han official, it is my unshirkable duty to restore the Han Dynasty. I will do my utmost to assist Your Majesty!"

Jia Xu looked determined and spoke with confidence.

With these words and such a determined look, anyone who sees them would give him a thumbs up and praise him as a truly loyal minister!

Liu Xie was also very moved, and said with mixed feelings: "With your words, I feel relieved."

"It is true that strong winds reveal strong grass, and adversities reveal loyal ministers!"

At this time, the eunuch following Liu Xie stepped forward carefully and reminded him: "Your Majesty, the ground is cold, you should put on your shoes first to avoid catching a cold."

Liu Xie was only wearing one shoe.

The other foot was only wearing a sock.

In addition, his clothes were somewhat messy, and the emperor's crown on his head was not worn properly. It was obvious that he had run here in a hurry.

"Look at how impatient I am. I was so anxious to come and see you that I didn't even bother to put on my clothes. I really lost my composure. I'm sorry to have made you laugh."

Liu Xie said to Jia Xu with a little shame, and then put on his shoes.

"Your Majesty's love is so great that I am truly terrified."

Not only did Jia Xu not mind, he was actually very touched.

But there was no ripple in his heart.

This little trick of winning people's hearts has no effect on him at all. How could he fall for it?
However, as an emperor, he could use this approach to win over a minister. Even though Jia Xu did not feel any waves in his heart, he could not help but have a good impression of Liu Xie.

He lowered his head and said to himself, he is worthy of being a descendant of Liu Bang.

He glanced at Liu Xie, who was putting on his shoes and tidying his clothes with the help of the eunuchs, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Your Majesty has grown a lot in this time."

This was not the first time Jia Xu met Liu Xie.

Before, he was a subordinate of Dong Zhuo, and later followed Li Jue and Guo Si. He often met Liu Xie, so he was not a stranger to him.

Although several years had passed since their last meeting, he recognized at a glance that Liu Xie in front of him was the emperor he had met that year. They looked basically the same, and were equally cowardly.

The only thing that surprised him was that His Majesty actually knew how to use the method of winning people's hearts, although it was crude, it was only relative.

It won't have much effect on someone like him, but if it's used on some loyal Han officials, it will definitely make them completely loyal and grateful.

This is a lot more growth than when they were under Dong Zhuo's control.

Just as Jia Xu was thinking about something, Liu Xie had already dressed up, and then came up to him again, took his hand, and invited him sincerely: "My dear, I have asked someone to prepare a banquet. How about you dine with me later?"

"My dear minister, you have made a great contribution in the fight against Cao Cao. I must congratulate you."

Jia Xu collected his thoughts and smiled, "Everything will be arranged by Your Majesty."

Liu Xie was very happy. Just as he was about to say something, another eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, the general has come to the palace to see you!"

"General?"

Jia Xu frowned, but soon remembered.

Yuan Shao has already accepted the emperor's appointment and has now been promoted to general and grand marshal. It seems that he will be the one to enter the palace.

But... why did it come so soon?

Jia Xu was a little confused and looked at Liu Xie.

Liu Xie's face flashed with panic, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Please come quickly!"

"No need, I'm already here."

Before the eunuch retreated, a voice was heard.

Yuan Shao and Ju Shou walked into the main hall together.

"Your Majesty." After entering the hall, Yuan Shao first bowed to Liu Xie, then his eyes fell on Jia Xu, pretending to ask, "Who is this..."

Liu Xie reacted very quickly and said with a smile: "My dear, this is Guanglu Doctor Jia Wenhe, who has come all the way to Yecheng to pay a visit to me."

"Wenhe plotted to harm Cao Cao in Wancheng, causing the traitor Cao Cao to lose his eldest son and a great general. He can be said to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty, you are too kind." Jia Xu said modestly, and then bowed to Yuan Shao: "Jia Xu greets the general."

"Sir, please stand up quickly!" Yuan Shao reached out his hand to help Jia Xu up, and then said with a look of surprise and joy: "I have heard of your great name for a long time, and today I finally get to meet you!"

"When I heard that Wancheng had fallen, I thought you had gone to Yangzhou with Zhang Xiu. I never thought you had come to Yecheng!"

Without waiting for Jia Xu to answer, Yuan Shao turned to Ju Su and rebuked him, "Sir, you have entered Yecheng and even the palace to meet your Majesty, but I have not received any news. How can I be so negligent?"

Ju Su bowed and said, "This minister has failed in his duty. Please punish me, General."

Seeing this, Jia Xu's mouth twitched slightly, then he stepped forward and said to Yuan Shao: "Don't blame me, General. After leaving Wancheng, I was worried about Cao Cao's revenge and sent troops to intercept me. I kept a low profile all the way and never revealed any traces."

Yuan Shao finally gave up and walked over to Jia Xu, holding his hand and sighing, "So that's how it is. Sir, you've suffered a lot along the way."

Looking at his hand being held by Yuan Shao, veins on Jia Xu's forehead throbbed.

In his entire life, he had never been held hand by a man more times than today.

Although he was quite resistant in his heart, he couldn't show it on his face, so he could only laugh dryly and said, "It's okay, it's okay..."

Yuan Shao did not notice Jia Xu's strange behavior, and shook hands with him, saying earnestly: "Sir, you have been tired all the way. If you don't mind, please come to my house and sit for a while. I will also host a banquet for you."

Upon hearing this, Jia Xu was about to say that the emperor had already invited him to a banquet.

But Liu Xie on the side spoke first.

"Very good, very good. Then the general will entertain Wenhe well for me and do not neglect him." Liu Xie said with a smile.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty." A hint of approval flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes. This kid is really as Ju Su said, very perceptive.

After bowing to Liu Xie, he said to Jia Xu: "Your Majesty has caught a cold recently and your body is not feeling well. Sir, why don't you follow me out of the palace?"

Jia Xu took in all the expressions and demeanor of the two men.

He seemed to be thinking about something, but he said, "Then I will obey your command respectfully. Your Majesty, I will take my leave now."

"go Go."

So Jia Xu withdrew with Yuan Shao and Ju Su.

As he walked out of the main hall, he looked back.

Liu Xie stood alone in the empty hall with a lonely look on his face, but when he saw him turn around, he immediately put on a smile and waved to him.

Jia Xu withdrew his gaze and followed Yuan Shao's steps.

But what he didn't know was that after he left, Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief and his tense mood also relaxed.

"It's time to leave!"

Liu Xie's heart was beating wildly and cold sweat was pouring down his back.

He was very nervous when he first met Jia Xu.

He was one of the smartest people in the Three Kingdoms. Most importantly, he had seen the real Liu Xie more than once, so he was really afraid of being exposed.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with his performance just now. He only talked about the things in Wancheng and did not mention the past at all. Jia Xu should not doubt his identity.

"Fortunately, Yuan Shao arrived in time."

Liu Xie felt that Yuan Shao was truly a timely relief.

Otherwise he would really have to have dinner with Jia Xu.

Faced with such a cunning person, Liu Xie could not guarantee that he would not be exposed.

At that time, he would have to face Yuan Shao's tremendous wrath.

Although he sent Jia Xu away, there was still a question in his mind: what was the purpose of this poisonous scholar coming to Yecheng?
