The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 242 Coincidence
The Guo Mansion fell into an atmosphere of unprecedented panic.

Zhen Jiang burst into tears. Hearing the meaning of Guo Jia's words, she seemed to want to take Guo Jin away from her. She still doesn't know what Guo Jin did wrong. Why is Guo Jia so cruel to her own son?
Cai Yan's heart is also hard to calm down. The current Guo Jia makes her feel a little fear uncontrollably.

Diao Chan is holding her newborn daughter, her mind is very simple, it is enough to stay quietly by Guo Jia's side to serve Guo Jia, she doesn't want anything else, she says mother is more expensive than a child, Diao Chan who walked out of the palace is giving birth to a daughter Instead, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, happier than having a son.

"Sister, what will my husband do? Is he going to separate Jin'er from my mother and child?"

Zhen Jiang is panicked and helpless at this moment, so she can only turn to Cai Yan, who is often surprisingly calm in critical moments.

Zhen Jiang, with tears in his eyes, grabbed Cai Yan's arm, afraid that Cai Yan would stand by and watch at this time.

With an inexplicable sigh, Cai Yan patted the back of Zhen Jiang's hand, and comforted him softly: "My husband is angry today because the master has been ill for a long time, and Jin'er doesn't know the seriousness and speaks indiscriminately. At that time, my husband didn't teach Jin No way."

Anyway, Guo Jia believed that children should be disciplined, not pampered. On that occasion, in front of civil and military officials, no matter what kind of impression Guo Jin left, in the end Guo Jia couldn't get rid of it.

Zhen Jiang's heart was empty, and she was worried that Guo Jia would no longer like this son and love herself no longer.

"Sister, do you think your husband will divorce me?"

Zhen Jiang, with red eyes, was frightened, hoping that Cai Yan could give her a reassuring answer.

Cai Yan raised a light smile, looked elsewhere, and said: "The relationship between husband and wife, the relationship between father and son, the husband is very clear. Sister, don't worry, you can think about how the husband grew up when he was young." of."

Some things don't need to be said clearly, it is enough to express the meaning.

Guo Jin was well-clothed and pampered. In such a living environment, Guo Jia would not necessarily blame anything, but if the son who grows up is only a second-generation ancestor, it is no wonder that Guo Jia speaks harshly.

Zhen Jiang seemed a little relieved, she fell silent and racked her brains on how to win Guo Jia's favor back to Guo Jin, and how to face Guo Jia herself.

Looking at Guo Ye who was eating quietly, Cai Yan was thoughtful.

Guo Jia, who returned after the Guanzhong War, terrified Cai Yan.

It is because Guo Jia's city is already unfathomable. Yuan Shao is Guo Jia's mortal enemy. In the battle of Luoyang, Xiao Zhong and Xiao Yong were buried at the foot of the imperial city. The murderers were Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shao was behind the scenes. , Guo Jia knew it well, in other words, Guo Jia and Yuan Shao had a deadly enmity, which was a personal grudge.

Guo Jiaxing's imperial examination and Yuan Shao's leadership of the gentry fundamentally represented the political interests of different groups. They could not coexist, and life and death was the outcome they most wanted to see. This was conflicting interests, and it was also a matter of business.

Both public and private, the two had unresolvable grievances, but Guo Jia let Yuan Shao go calmly.

Such a city, such scheming, and Guo Jia's ability to control emotions made Cai Yan feel admiration and even horror.

Wang Dao ruthless is not ruthless, but indifferent. Being able to use emotion as a weapon, being able to hide unfavorable negative emotions, reverse the pros and cons, and use it properly will be of great benefit.

After thinking wildly for a while, Cai Yan suddenly laughed at himself.

fair enough.

When one day she passes away, Guo Jia can like the new and dislike the old, and with his power, the beauty of the country can be whatever she wants.

She is not afraid of being left out by Guo Jia, a woman's life is like this, no matter how young she is, she can't match the fate of a beauty who is perishable.

Now that Guo Jia has such absolute rationality, Cai Yan is relieved, at least when that day comes, Guo Jia will not drag this cold heart on Guo Ye.

Guo Jia temporarily moved into Xi Zhicai's mansion without disturbing Xi Zhicai. It is easy to hide Xi Zhicai who is bedridden.

The furnishings in the room are simple, a bed for sleeping and a low table for working is enough for Guo Jia.

After a night of nothing to say, Zhen Yan sent the official documents that needed to be reviewed to Guo Jia early, and Guo Jia would not leave the room unless there was something important to discuss.

Observing Xi Zhicai's movements through the small hole next to the wall, Guo Jia frowned, and after the servant who delivered the food in the next room left the room, Guo Jia was still sticking to the wall like a thief.

Zhang Ren was a general promoted by Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi from the guards. To be promoted in such a special unit, his loyalty and fearlessness have been tested layer by layer.

Today he was in charge of guarding beside Guo Jia, and he saw Guo Jia's behavior outside the door.

It should be a funny picture that makes people laugh.

Isn't it ridiculous for a man to sneak around like a thief?

Zhang Ren couldn't laugh, but felt a sense of heaviness and respect in his heart.

He also doesn't believe that Guo Jia's concern and nervousness for Xi Zhicai at this time is acting on the spot.

He is a monarch, there is absolutely no need to buy people's hearts like this.

"Quack doctor, quack doctor..."

Guo Jia muttered in a low voice.

Today's Xi Zhicai still has no appetite, so he just drank a few mouthfuls of light gruel, if this continues, his body will definitely not be able to hold on.

Hearing movement next door, Guo Jia hurriedly peeped in front of the small hole in the wall again.

Xi Zhicai sat up with difficulty, and asked someone to call Xi Jian in.

After the drama inspector arrived, Xi Zhicai said weakly: "You go and invite Mr. Qin to come to your house. Remember, tell Mr. Qin not to say anything, especially don't let the lord know."

After listening to it from the sidelines, the play inspector was not feeling well, Guo Jia was next door, and his father still wanted to alarm the lord?
Obediently exiting the room, the theater inspector didn't know whether to inform Guo Jia or go directly to Qin Mi, after thinking about it, he decided to follow Xi Zhicai's orders.

As soon as he took two steps, the drama inspector was stopped by Zhang Ren in a low voice, and invited him to the room where Guo Jia was.

About half an hour later, Xi Zhi went back and forth to Xi Zhicai's hospital bed, watching his father forcefully dressing up, as if preparing to receive Qin Mi.

The drama inspector held back his tears and said with self-blame: "My child is incompetent, I didn't invite Mr. Qin."

Xi Zhicai, who was getting dressed, paused, looked at the inspector suspiciously, and asked, "Why? Could it be that he is too busy to get away?"

The opera inspector lowered his head and shook his head, and said: "Master Qin said that the Lord has an order that all officials are not allowed to come to the house to disturb father's recuperation."

silence.

Xi Zhicai took off his capacious sleeve robe again, and lay obediently on the bed. Xi Zhicai covered him with a quilt and left the room.

Looking up blankly, in the silent room, Xi Zhicai sighed softly: "My lord, why bother?"

After walking out of the room, the cameraman who wiped away his tears came to the next door, Guo Jia had seen the scene clearly, he walked over to pat the cameraman on the shoulder, and said softly: "For your father, he wants to see any official, No matter, remember, if an official visits you, you have to block it.”

There is no need to guess that Guo Jia also knows the purpose of Xi Zhicai's meeting with Qin Mi. It must be asking about some official matters on the sidelines. A colleague's visit will also make Xi Zhicai focus on business again. At this time, Guo Jia I hope that Xi Zhi can be pure-hearted and ascetic, recuperating simply and thinking about nothing is the best.

Perhaps it was a coincidence that Xi Zhi just wanted to see Qin Mi, and Guo Jia stopped him, but Qin Mi came to the door by himself, even though he had something important to see Guo Jia.

Since Guo Jia returned to Chengdu, all visiting officials at Xi Zhicai's mansion were turned away, and Guo Jia had to enter the mansion quietly to avoid disturbing Xi Zhicai.

Qin Mi tiptoed to Guo Jia, afraid that the sound of footsteps would be heard by Xi Zhicai next door.

"My lord, how is Mr. Xi's condition?"

Qin Mi asked first.

Guo Jia shook his head with a heavy expression, not optimistic.

In any case, we must first break the will to work on government affairs before we talk about it.

Seeing Guo Jia's expression, Qin Mi didn't ask any more questions, instead of gossiping, the business was more important.

"Liu Biao from Jingzhou sent people to escort Zhang Baiqi's family of more than [-] people to Chengdu, including Zhang Baiqi's wives, concubines and children. How should they be dealt with?"

After hearing this, Guo Jia was puzzled.

How did Zhang Baiqi's family fall into Liu Biao's hands?
Qin Mi then told Guo Jia the ins and outs of the incident.

Zhang Baiqi rebelled, and he had to settle his family first no matter what, so on the eve of his rebellion, he sent a small team of soldiers and horses to escort his family to Xudu, which could relieve Zhang Baiqi's worries.

This group of people headed towards Xuchang. On the way, they heard that Cao Cao had been defeated in Wuguan. They dared not go to Xuchang, so they turned to Xiangyang.

The situation is very delicate. Guo Jia actually hit Yuan Shao hard, but outsiders thought that Cao Cao also ended up in a disastrous defeat. Zhang Baiqi’s family thought that Guo Jia and Cao Cao would never die. After Cao Cao’s defeat, he must find someone to vent his hatred. Woolen cloth?Before the rebellion, he was Guo Jia's general. Cao Cao was famous for his fierceness and slaughtered countless cities. Zhang Baiqi's family could not trust Cao Cao at this time. They were afraid that Cao Cao, who would kill without blinking an eye, waved his butcher knife at them perfidiously.

At that time, Liu Biao of Jingzhou made a gesture of attacking Yizhou. Liu Biao was also a king of benevolence and righteousness, with a good reputation. In addition, the imperial decree included Liu Biao as foreign aid. Zhang Baiqi's family thought that Liu Biao and Zhang Baiqi were in At this moment, it was an alliance of comrades-in-arms, so he diverted to Xiangyang, intending to send him under the fence and shelter temporarily.

They entered Xiangyang City, and Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin led the army to kill Xiangyang City.

Xiangyang City was under martial law, and they didn't even have the chance to meet Liu Biao. Even if they did, Liu Biao didn't have time to meet them, but they were suspicious outsiders, especially in Xiangyang's precarious situation. Very sensitive.

After being exposed by a group of people who were mistaken for Xiao Zuo and the Taiping Army's internal staff, they were first imprisoned in Xiangyang's prison.

After Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin withdrew their troops, Liu Biao noticed such a group of uninvited guests. Zhang Baiqi's family got their wish and saw Liu Biao. Not to mention sending someone to escort him to Chengdu.

At this time, Liu Biao was trying to please Guo Jia. No matter whether Guo Jia accepted it or not, he could not offend Guo Jia in the slightest until his goal of supporting 20 soldiers was achieved.

Take in Zhang Baiqi's family?

It's simply looking for trouble when there is nothing to do, and causing trouble to the upper body.
