Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 84 Rebuilding Yanhan

Guo Jia's answer was full of double meanings and impeccable.

No matter which angle you look at it from, it's correct.

This posed a difficult problem for Jia Xu, because he didn't know what Guo Jia meant.

"Is he testing me?"

Jia Xu also felt something vaguely in his heart.

Everyone knows that he went to the palace to pay homage to the emperor some time ago, but on the surface he was serving the emperor, but in fact he was serving Yuan Shao. After all, the other party was the real person in power at the moment, and the emperor had no real power.

Now Guo Jia suddenly came over to test him like this...

Could this be Yuan Shao's instruction?
Just as Jia Xu was pondering the deeper meaning behind Guo Jia's words, the housekeeper of the mansion came over.

"Master, lunch is ready."

Hearing this, Jia Xu collected his thoughts and said to Guo Jia with a smile, "Feng Xiao, go and have dinner first."

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Good."

So the two of them went to eat together.

At the dinner table, they all tacitly agreed not to mention the conversation that had just taken place in the lobby, but instead talked about everything under the sun, including the current situation.

As they chatted, they came to the topic of the real and fake emperor.

Jia Xu asked Guo Jia how Liu Xie escaped from Xu Du to Ye City, and Guo Jia told him the truth.

After listening to this, Jia Xu sighed and said, "Cao Cao wants to use the emperor to control the princes. This shows that he is extremely ambitious and has long had the intention of being disloyal."

"Your Majesty was able to escape from Xudu, it was truly a blessing from heaven."

Guo Jia said: "Those who are righteous have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous have few supporters. The Mandate of the Han Dynasty has not yet ended, so how can Cao Cao and Yuan Shu be able to replace it? What do you think, Guanglu Xun?"

Jia Xu's eyes moved slightly, and he raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Feng Xiao is right. Even a rampant man like Dong Zhuo ended up like a sky lantern, with no place to bury his body."

"Cao Cao and Yuan Shu are far inferior to Dong Zhuo. How can they overthrow the Han Dynasty? Now that Yuan Shu's army has been defeated, it is only a matter of time before he is destroyed."

"As for Cao Cao, he is nothing more than a pile of dry bones in a tomb!"

After hearing Jia Xu's comments, Guo Jia nodded and said, "That's right. Although the current emperor is young, he has the potential to be a wise ruler. Now that he has the help of Guanglu Xun, he will be able to eliminate the disloyalty and rebuild the Yanhan Dynasty in the future!"

"People like Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao can only be rampant for a while, but they will never be able to overthrow the foundation of the Han Dynasty!"

Jia Xu clapped his hands and exclaimed: "That's right! Feng Xiao is truly a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. I should like to offer a toast to Feng Xiao!"

As he spoke, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

Guo Jia also responded in the same way.

The meal was quickly finished and the atmosphere was quite good. Jia Xu was amazed at Guo Jia's profound knowledge and erudition at such a young age; Guo Jia admired Jia Xu's quick wit and eloquence.

After the meal, the two felt that they had met too late and regarded each other as close friends. They chatted for a long time until it was getting dark.

Guo Jia declined Jia Xu's invitation to stay overnight at his mansion and made an appointment to visit him again next time. Then, reeking of alcohol, he boarded the carriage for home.

Jia Xu went out to see Guo Jia off to the gate of the mansion, personally helped Guo Jia into the carriage, and watched his carriage go away.

After seeing Guo Jia off, he stayed outside the mansion for a long time before turning around and going back.

Guo Jia gave him a very strange feeling today.

It didn't seem like he was here to lobby for the Third Young Master Yuan Shang. Instead, he mentioned the Emperor intentionally or unintentionally, trying to test his attitude indirectly.

It's more like...he's here to lobby for the emperor.

"and many more."

Jia Xu felt like he had grasped something, and he couldn't help but recall what Yuan Xi said to him the last time he visited him.

"Last time, I wanted to marry into the Zhen family, but he was the one who gave Yuan Shang advice and ruined the marriage, harming me!" Zhen family, Zhen family...

Isn’t the daughter of the Zhen family in the palace now?
After figuring out this point, Jia Xu sobered up all of a sudden. A look of surprise flashed across his fat face, and his eyes were complicated.

Could it be this Guo Fengxiao?

Is he really the emperor's lobbyist?
……

Inside the carriage.

Guo Jia, who was originally drunk, now sat up with clear eyes. How could he not look drunk at all?
He usually likes to drink, and the wine he drank at Jia's house was nothing to him, how could it make him drunk? He was just pretending to be drunk.

"call……"

Exhaling a breath of turbid alcohol, Guo Jia began to recall the back and forth testing and repeated tugs of war between him and Jia Xu at the Jia Mansion today, as well as the loopholes he had deliberately left behind.

He believed that with Jia Xu's wisdom, he would not have failed to notice it. Afterwards, when he thought about his recent actions, he should be able to come to a conclusion.

But that's about it.

Based on these clues and the conversations with him today, Jia Xu could infer that he might be involved with the emperor.

But it is not enough to constitute a threat as evidence.

"I hope he can be won over."

Guo Jia sighed, rubbed his temples, and felt a little sleepy.

It is really exhausting and strenuous to fight and test someone like Jia Xu. It is too tiring.

The carriage soon stopped at Guo Jia's residence.

After Guo Jia returned home, he found that Yuan Shang was actually in his house. When he saw him, he immediately stood up to greet him.

"Sir, have you successfully recruited Guanglu Xun?"

Yuan Shang asked expectantly.

He came here early and waited, just to hear the result of Guo Jia's attempt to win over Jia Xu and whether he succeeded.

Facing Yuan Shang's expectation, Guo Jia replied: "Guanglu Xun accepted the gift, but expressed his unwillingness to participate in the fight between the third and second sons."

"He is a man who knows how to protect himself. Now that he has just arrived in Yecheng and is serving under the command of the general, it is normal for him to respond in this way."

Yuan Shang was immediately disappointed when he heard this, but then he thought that Jia Xu also did not accept Yuan Xi's recruitment, and his mood suddenly became much happier and he smiled again.

At this time, he noticed that Guo Jia was drunk, so he asked curiously, "Sir, are you having dinner at the Jia Mansion?"

"Correct."

Guo Jia did not deny it and replied: "Guanglu Xun and I hit it off right away and had a very pleasant conversation."

"good!"

Yuan Shang was overjoyed, patted Guo Jia's shoulder heavily and said: "Being able to establish a good relationship with Guanglu Xun will bring a hundred benefits and no harm!"

"Sir, you should interact more with Guanglu Xun in the future. Maybe one day you can win him over and make him your assistant!"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Don't worry, Third Young Master."

Of course, he will have more interactions with Jia Xu in the future.

But it's not for you.

However, Yuan Shang, who was immersed in joy, did not notice Guo Jia's deep eyes at all.

The sun hanging on the top of the mountain in the distance slowly set, and the setting sun stretched Guo Jia's shadow very long, covering Yuan Shang completely.
