The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 296 Arrogant and Domineering
Wu Yi walked on the way home with a heavy heart. He drank more restrainedly and never passed out.

Wu Ban, who was drunk and flushed from drinking, followed Wu Yi, and praised his brother eloquently.

The victory in the South was significant, but the officers who participated in the battle were very highly rewarded.

On the street in the middle of the night, Wu Yi suddenly stopped and turned around, looking at Wu Ban who had a silly smile on his face, and said in a deep voice, "My lord intends to take my younger sister as a concubine. What do you think about this?"

Wu Ban, who was breathing alcohol with his mouth wide open, was stunned, unable to move as if he had been frozen. It took him a long time to close his drooling mouth, patted his cheeks and shook his head, as if he had woken up for a while and came to Wu Yi's side, red He asked in a low voice, "Is this really true?"

Wu Yi nodded with worry.

The sluggish expression suddenly changed, Wu Ban grinned and showed a smiling face, but he didn't laugh out loud.

"This is a good thing!"

Wu Ban's tone carried obvious surprise.

The Wu family followed Liu Yan into Shu, and because Liu Yan suppressed Yizhou tycoons, they naturally valued their cronies more highly. Born, the Wu family declined with the fall of Liu Yan. Fortunately, Guo Jia ignored the past and still used Wu Yi, but in terms of status, the Wu family is definitely not as good as the one who followed Guo Jia in the first place among the powerful people in Yizhou. Part of civil and military.

To be honest, among the civil servants, Xi Zhicai, Xu Shu, Qin Mi, and the Zhen family are all ranked at the top of the pyramid. Among the generals, Gan Ning, Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xiao Jia, Gao Shun, Zhou Tai , Zhang Yan, these are the characters that ordinary wealthy families look up to.

But these are all right now, ten years later, 20 years later, maybe it will be a different situation, because of the division of power, even if they stand on the top and only rank below Guo Jia, they can't use it The position of power cultivates the wings and successors of the family. The next generation's superiors still rely on real talents. Guo Jia's ruling strategy is to constantly update. Today's dignitaries are only valued because of the talents of a certain family member, and more will emerge in the future. After outstanding talents, the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead, and the newcomers will naturally replace the old ones.

It is really difficult for Wu Yi to go further in Guo Jia's era, because even if the people who are on top of him and the Wu family are not geniuses in the world, they are still the best among them. Ban's abilities may not be so superb when added up.

But now, the Wu family has a chance, and instead of extravagantly expecting to compete with people like Gan Ning and Zhang Liao, at least it may be possible to sit on an equal footing.

Using a woman from the family to enhance the status of the family is a very cost-effective or even free business.

Wu Yi looked up at the hazy moonlight. With Wu Ban's reaction now, he seemed to see himself when Liu Yan proposed marriage to him back then.

After going through ups and downs, the ups and downs of life have made Wu Yi look down on him a lot, and he has also broken away from his desire for power. He is a man with self-respect, and naturally he dreams of becoming famous forever, and even more hope that the prominent descendants of his family will be enlightened. Yin, but he is more willing to achieve it with his own hands than to sacrifice his family and exchange a deal for false glory.

"Hey, I don't want to force my little sister on this matter, everything is up to her."

Wu Yi stepped forward, and Wu Ban caught up with him after a moment of stupefaction. He reminded him in his ear as he walked, "If my younger sister refuses, is my brother going to reject the lord? If the lord is not happy, from now on the Wu family..."

Without looking back, Wu Yi said softly, "If my lord is really as you said, how can my lord achieve today's foundation?"

When facing Guo Jia's marriage proposal, Wu Yi's first thought was that he couldn't refuse, but after he calmed down afterwards, he realized that even if he refused Guo Jia, he would not suffer any trouble later. It is impossible for him to gather so many talents around him.

This matter should be treated with a normal mind, it is just the love between men and women, and it is just the pursuit of a gentleman.

Wu's family is in Chengdu, but Wu Cheng lives in Taoyuan Village. She rushed back to Chengdu from Taoyuan Village two days later.

Taking off his armor and putting on a chic brocade robe, Wu Yi sat in the hall elegantly.

Wu Cheng came to the hall to meet Wu Yi immediately after returning home. She was demure and generous, and after entering the hall, she saluted Wu Yi, and then asked, "Brother sent someone to send a letter to my younger sister, what is it?" ?”

Wu Cheng never participated in family affairs, and at her age, the only thing Wu Yi could call her back to discuss was marriage.

Already prepared in her heart, Wu Yan waited quietly for Wu Yi to reveal the answer.

Sure enough, Wu Yi was silent for a while and then said: "My lord intends to take you as a concubine. I called my little sister home to ask you what you mean. In this matter, my little sister doesn't have to worry about it. She has the right to decide whether it will happen or not. It's all in your hands."

Wu Cheng was dumbfounded, staring blankly at Wu Yi.

Seeing her expression, Wu Yi thought he understood her answer, waved his hand and said, "Since the younger sister is unwilling, then I will personally reply to the lord tomorrow. You don't have to take this matter to heart, the lord is reasonable, no I will anger the Wu family because of your refusal, well, if you have nothing to do, you might as well stay at home for a few more days, go wash off the dust and rest first."

"Eh? Brother, I, I, I..."

Wu Cheng's complexion suddenly changed, it was red and white, mixed with shyness and surprise, it was extremely complicated.

Stamping her feet anxiously, Wu Cheng lowered her head and rubbed the corner of her clothes back and forth. She still couldn't speak some words.

Wu Yi spoke so bluntly that even though she was 25 or [-], she still had to confide her thoughts regardless of her reserve.

Ok?
Wu Yi, who had just picked up the scroll, put it down again, stared at Wu Cheng with her head bowed in confusion for a long time, and didn't realize it until she saw that she was rosy from the nape of her neck to her ears.

"It turns out that my younger sister has long been interested in the lord?"

Wu Yi, who was speechless, chuckled lightly.

Laughing at myself for not understanding the little girl's mind at all, and laughing at myself for looking forward and backward and just worrying blindly.

Wu Cheng ignored Wu Yi's teasing, as this kind of joke would only make her more embarrassed if she kept teasing her. She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Brother, please reply to the envoy, just say, just say that my younger sister is willing to marry."

As soon as the words fell, Wu Cheng turned around and trotted away from the scene.

Since it was a situation where Lang Youqing's concubine was interested, Wu Yi didn't have to worry about it. Instead, he could face Guo Jia with joy. At least Wu Aunt's life-long event had been settled, and he also forgot about it.

On a sunny afternoon, Guo Jia was accompanying Zhen Jiang in the backyard of the mansion. There were flowers and plants that Zhen Jiang had carefully taken care of for several years in the courtyard. Some precious flowers and plants came to the mansion for Mrs. Zhen.

When the flowers are in full bloom, the scenery here is extremely pleasing to the eye, but when the flowers wither, it is a sad and desolate scene.

Zhen Jiang squatted in front of the flowers and plants, humming a ditty in a good mood, although Guo Jia stood behind her silently, but at this time, she had indescribable sweetness, even when facing the scene of flowers withering.

"Daddy, a general Wu came to see Daddy."

The little girl carved in pink and jade came running, Guo Jia knelt down and told her to hug her, kissed her on the face and asked with a smile, "How did Yingying know?"

"My mother told me. My mother also told me to tell my father to leave and not to disturb my father. Let me down quickly, I have to leave."

Guo Ying was put down after struggling in Guo Jia's arms, and ran back like a gust of wind.

Standing up and wiping the tiny beads of sweat from her forehead, Zhen Jiang smiled and said to Guo Jia: "It's strange, Yingying doesn't look like her mother at all. Even Jin'er often suffers from headaches."

Guo Jia took the handkerchief from Zhen Jiang's hand, gently wiped the sweat off her face, and said with a smile, "I think it's pretty good, maybe she didn't inherit her motherly side, but instead inherited my restlessness when I was a child. "

"Hehehe, if she wants to marry in the future, it will definitely cause headaches for the husband. The husband has business to discuss, so the concubine will leave first."

The elegant lady gave Guo Jia a coquettish look and then walked away with graceful steps.

Guo Jia stood in the courtyard, and when Wu Yi arrived, Guo Jia extended his hand to invite them, and the two chatted as they walked.

Wu Yi thought that the reply he brought would make Guo Jia happy for a while, but Guo Jia just laughed it off and didn't show too much surprise.

"Ziyuan, I have something I want you to do, but I don't know if you can take on the task."

Guo Jia looked up, as indifferent as a cloud.

Wu Yi was taken aback, his expression changed from relaxed to solemn, and he expressed his attitude: "The general is willing to do his best for the Lord, and he will do his best to do what he can. If the general has more heart than energy, he will definitely try his best. .”

Guo Jia cast his eyes on Wu Yi, and said softly, "Okay, I hope you will be more domineering, arrogant, and arrogant in the future. Can you do it?"

Wu Yi was dumbfounded, his thinking completely didn't match Guo Jia's words.

"My lord, you, what are you talking about?"

"Didn't you hear clearly?"

Guo Jia asked back, in a lukewarm manner.

Wu Yi was puzzled. He must have heard a word of Guo Jia's words correctly.

"But why?"

There is no right or wrong to be arrogant and domineering, and there is no law that prohibits it.

But this is an unpleasant gesture after all, and it will affect internal unity over time.

Guo Jia put one hand on Wu Yi's shoulder and approached his face. Now, not only is he handsome, but he also has a somewhat mature face in front of Wu Yi.

"Ziyuan, I want you to draw a clear line from now on with Gan Ning, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Dian Wei, Zhang Yan and other generals. In terms of power, you are now under the restraint of Gan Ning, but in terms of attitude, you must not disagree with them. up and down."

Wu Yi still couldn't figure out Guo Jia's plan.

Even if Guo Jia was really worried about a general under his command, it was absolutely impossible for Wu Yi and the chief generals in the army to turn against each other secretly.

This task is very difficult and heavy, especially for Wu Yi, if he is a little careless, he may suffer a devastating blow in the future.

Guo Jia's private instruction was to ask Wu Yi to endure the humiliation.

For a person of Wu Yi's status and status, being arrogant and domineering can no longer be reflected in superficial bragging, it is more of a gesture, the right to speak at critical moments.

Wu Yi had to think carefully about Guo Jia's purpose and figure out Guo Jia's intentions, but now, he had to give Guo Jia a clear answer when he faced a decision.

"The last will obey."
