The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 33
Although Guo Jia, who came to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, had the innate advantage of being a latecomer and knew the real celebrities of this era, it doesn't mean that he would post a celebrity as a brother and brother if he was a celebrity.

If it is said that the Zhen family used to be a wealthy family in Hebei, then the Mi family is a wealthy family in Xuzhou, with a family fortune of over [-] million and nearly [-] diners. From this point of view, the current Mi family is far bigger than the original Zhen family. .

However, the Mi family, whom we made friends with, doesn't hold much weight in Guo Jia's heart. There is a kind of people who feel the urge to confided in each other when they meet for the first time, but there is another kind of people, no matter how long it takes, they will always be on guard in their hearts.

Mi Zhu, Guo Jia didn't think it would pose a threat to him, but it made Guo Jia feel that this person was very scheming, with a gentle smile, generous and extraordinary, and his emotions would never fluctuate too much. Guo Jia was always on guard against this kind of person. .

This Mi family's banquet was not lively, Guo Jia and Mi Zhu only talked about astronomy and geography, poetry and songs, some romance, some hypocrisy during the drink.

And in the backyard of Mi Mansion, Mi Zhu's third sister, Mi Zhen, was whispering with Xiao Qiao. Mi Zhen is now 13 years old, slightly older than Xiao Qiao. The three of them chatted casually, but the topics all revolved around Guo Jia. .

At this moment, Mi Zhen's personal maid, Xiao He, ran into the courtyard in a hurry, and shouted in horror: "Miss, miss, it's not good, Mr. Tao has barged in again. You should hide quickly."

Before Mi Zhen and Xiao Qiao could react, the gorgeously dressed young master had already stepped into the courtyard.

"Sister Mi Zhen, I'm here to see you."

After the pottery merchant stepped into the courtyard, he paused, fixed his eyes on Qiao and Qiao, and turned back and forth between the two of them, gradually revealing eager lust.

Xiao Qiao, who is disguised as a man, not only has a heroic appearance, but also shows a little timidity at the moment, which makes me feel pity. The pottery merchant loves girls the most in his life, and he is obsessed with Mi Zhen recently. A pair of stunning beauties.

"Eldest son, you trespassed on Mi's house, don't you really think of my Mi family?" Mi Zhen was as cold as an iceberg, she got up and blocked Xiao Qiao behind her.

Tao Shang walked forward with a smile, tilting his head to see the big and small Qiao behind Mi Zhen, and said as he walked, "Sister Mi Zhen, who are the two sisters behind you? Why are women disguised as men? Style. If it's a maid, my potter will buy it, ha ha."

铿

An icy sword rested on the potter's shoulder, Xiao Yi appeared behind the pottery ghostly, and said lightly, "Get out."

"You, who are you? My father is Xuzhou Mu. How dare you touch me? Be careful that my father destroys your three clans." The potter was sweating coldly. He didn't feel that there was anyone behind him at all. fear nothing.

Xiao Yi flicked his wrist, and the sword edge slashed across the potter's neck, a trace of blood gushed out from the potter's neck, Xiao Yi's tone was as indifferent as before, and said: "If you dare to be presumptuous, I will kill you."

Who are the four tigers of the Xiao family?When the children of the Yingchuan family deliberately came to pick on Guo Jia or bully their fellow villagers, the four tigers of the Xiao family followed Guo Jia and destroyed countless children of the Yingchuan family. The only person who can dominate them is Guo Jia. How dare others bully them?Even if you die, you have to fight back.

The pottery merchant felt the tingling pain on his neck and the flow of blood, his face turned pale with fright, and he ran out of the courtyard in a hurry and left Mi's mansion.

But after leaving the Mi Mansion, the pottery merchant was not reconciled, firstly, Xiao Yi hurt him and made him lose face, secondly, the young and old Qiao was a beauty in the world, how could he let him go?So he asked Mi's servants and learned that Yingchuan Guo Jia was a guest at Mi's house.

Yingchuan Guo Jia?A very familiar name.

The potter clapped his hands after walking out of the Mi Mansion, and finally remembered who Guo Jia of Yingchuan was. Isn't that the head that the Hedong Wei family offered a reward of 1000 taels of gold for?
After thinking about it, the pottery merchant came to Cao Bao's mansion. As soon as he entered the mansion, he pulled Cao Bao from Wenrou Township into the secret room, and told Cao Bao the news that Yingchuan Guo Jia was in Mi's house.

When Cao Bao heard this, he was surprised first and then delighted.What surprised him was that Guo Jia was called a ghost, and he was cruel and cruel. What made him happy was that the Wei family offered a reward of 1000 taels of gold for his life.

At this moment, Cao Bao's evil intentions were born, and the temptation of 1000 taels of gold was enough to take risks.

The two immediately made a decision together, but to do this, there must be another person nodding, because Guo Jia can't be killed if he wants to, Guo Jia is the future son-in-law of the Zhen family, and Guo Jia is a celebrity in Yingchuan , is inextricably related to the Xun family, a famous family in Yingchuan.

Therefore, if you want to kill Guo Jia, at least in the Xuzhou territory, you must get the consent of Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, otherwise if it causes consequences and reactions that they cannot bear, then even the pottery merchants may not be able to do so, let alone Cao Bao. Good end.

The two rushed to meet Tao Qian. Tao Qian was studying. Seeing the two hurrying over, he frowned and asked, "What's the matter? Could it be that there are bandits making trouble again?"

The potter took a step forward and said to Tao Qian in a deep voice: "Father, Guo Jia from Yingchuan has come to Xuzhou and is a guest at Mi Zhu's mansion. Should we send troops to catch him? He is a court criminal who committed heinous crimes in Hedong County." .”

Imperial court offender?Is there still a court in today's world?During the period of Emperor Huan Ling, the party was imprisoned twice, and I don’t know how many celebrities were beaten as imperial criminals, and those gentry who fled the capital or their hometowns couldn’t just change to another place to be happy and happy?Who cares about imperial court crimes?After crossing the border, the government orders of various states were blocked. Now the only one who really wants to arrest Guo Jia and regard Guo Jia as an imperial criminal is the only one in Hedong County. That's because the Wei family's foundation is there.

Although Tao Qian is old, he is not confused. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "Guo Jia has close contacts with the Zhen family and the Xun family, so don't act rashly. Whether it is arresting or killing Guo Jia, it will do nothing to Xuzhou. benefit."

At this moment, both the lustful potter and the money-obsessed Cao Bao were furious. Cao Bao rolled his eyes and stepped forward and said in a low voice, "My lord, it's good. Then there are two peerless generals by Guo Jia's side. One is Gan Ning Gan Xingba who is known as the Jinfan Bandit. My lord must have heard of this man's reputation. The other is Zhou Tai, the leader of the water bandits on the Yangzhou River. My lord must have heard of this man's bravery. The two are now following Guo Jia. If the lord kills Guo Jia and informs the two of Guo Jia's crimes, then he will understand them with reason and affection, and recruit them. , if you can be personally recruited by the lord, you will be grateful to Zaide for your hard work."

Tao Qian fell into deep thought. He had heard of the names of Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, but he heard that one was in Yizhou and the other was in Yangzhou. Even if he wanted to recruit them, it would be a long way. Reason not to solicit.

But, kill Guo Jia, don't kill Guo Jia...

Killed Guo Jia, turned against the Zhen family and the Xun family, in exchange for a little affection from the Wei family.

However, he was able to get two generals, who would consolidate the position of the Tao family in Xuzhou after being reused, and become more authoritative in front of the nobles in Xuzhou after being strong. Xuzhou fell into the hands of the Tao family.

If Guo Jia is not killed, Guo Jia may not be grateful to the Tao family if he loses two generals, and he will definitely not remember this favor.

After weighing it, Tao Qian convinced himself that under rational analysis, it seemed that he had no reason to give up this opportunity.

Even if Gan Ning and Zhou Tai did not follow him, they would at most offend the Zhen and Xun families.

The Zhen family is based in the north and has basically nothing to do with Xuzhou. The Xun family has just reinvigorated in the court and has not yet established a stable foothold.

Tao Qian immediately ordered: "Cao Bao, you lead the people in the city to arrest the Mi family. Remember, you must capture this person alive! If you kill Guo Jia on the spot, it will definitely cause Gan Ning and Zhou Tai to rebel. I want to subdue these two. We must save Guo Jia's life first."

Cao Bao, who was overjoyed, took the order and went out immediately, and the pottery merchant also followed out with secret joy in his heart.

After the banquet in Mi's mansion was over, Guo Jia walked towards the guest room. On the way, Xiao Zhong came by his side and whispered in detail how he met Xiao Qiao when the potter came to molested Mi Zhen.

Guo Jia frowned slightly after hearing this, and asked, "Are you sure that person claims to be Tao Qian's son?"

Xiao Zhong nodded and replied: "Xiaosi indeed said so. The man claimed that his father is Xuzhou Mu Taoqian."

"Notify the others, leave Xuzhou City with me quickly." Guo Jia didn't hesitate, knowing that right and wrong was about to happen, it was better to leave as soon as possible.

But when Guo Jia took Xiao Qiao, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and the four tigers of the Xiao family to leave the Mi Mansion, he was shocked to find that the outside of the Mi Mansion was surrounded by officers and soldiers.

The man who led the army on horseback was Cao Bao.

Mi Zhu who came after hearing the news was also at a loss. He first heard the news that Guo Jia wanted to leave, and then heard that Cao Bao led the army to surround the Mi Mansion. Mi Zhu, who didn't care about thinking about it, quickly came to the main gate, and happened to bump into Guo Jia. At the same time, looking past Guo Jia and his party, he saw Cao Bao straddling his horse outside the mansion.

"Guo Jia, I am here to arrest you under the order of Lord Mutao of Xuzhou. In order to avoid harming innocent people, you should capture you without a fight."

Cao Bao stood proudly on the horse, while the crossbowmen behind him drew but did not shoot.

Gan Ning and Zhou Tai wanted to fight Cao Bao, but Guo Jia blocked them and retreated slowly into the mansion, looking at Cao Bao with a sneer, thinking about a plan in his heart.

"Cao Bao, you are so bold that you dare to lead troops to surround my Mi family? Guo Jia is a distinguished guest of my Mi family. Aren't you afraid that I will sue you at the lord's place?" Mi Zhu passed Guo Jia at this time and stood at the door with an air of arrogance.

Cao Bao grinned and said with a grin: "Zi Zhong, it was the lord who ordered me to bring troops to your house to arrest people. If you are smart, you can persuade Guo Jia to come out and surrender. I will definitely not embarrass him. And the followers around him, probably Don't pursue it."

Mi Zhu was taken aback for a moment, never expecting that it was Tao Qian who ordered Guo Jia to be arrested, but he was on the verge of riding a tiger right now. Tao Qian was his lord, and it would be disloyal not to help Tao Qian. Guo Jia is unrighteous.

When Mi Fang was in a dilemma, she happened to return to the mansion. Seeing this tense confrontation, she learned about the situation after talking with the pottery merchant nearby, so she walked into Mi's mansion under the nose of Cao Bao, and closed the gate of the mansion.
