The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 68
Ever since Guo Jia came out of Luoyang, Prince Xie was very disappointed when he heard the news, but soon he cheered up again because he found a more powerful assistant than Guo Jia in his heart.

Xun Yu was in charge of keeping the palace order, and was in charge of writing and ink in the palace. Vagrants are just a waste of time.

However, the Prince Xie, who wanted to test Xun Yu, called Xun Yu to his residence during the free time every day, and asked humbly for advice. It is not only beneficial to one's own talent and learning, but also a way to win over Xun Yu. Similarly, in the process of getting along with the prince, Xun Yu found that compared to the absurd prince who eats, drinks and has fun every day, the prince's association is obviously more suitable for sitting on the throne, but He thought so in his heart, and he would never say it and put it into action.

Today, Xun Yu was summoned as usual, and the Prince Xie knelt and sat in front of the table. The eight-year-old child had a solemn expression, as if listening to the teaching with an open mind. After Xun Yu saluted and sat opposite the Prince Xie, the Prince Xie said: Ruo, I would like to hear about Young Master Xiaobai's deeds today."

Xun Yu's heart moved, and he sighed slightly, knowing that the prince's words were allusive.

The son Xiaobai is the Duke Huan of Qi, and Xun Yu did not refuse at the moment. He took Duke Huan of Qi from fighting for the throne to worshiping Guan Zhong as his prime minister, and then worked hard to govern, selecting talents and appointing talents, making the country rich and the people strong. Eloquently.

"Wen Ruo is as talented as Guan Zhong."

After listening to the story, the prince Xie sighed.

Xun Yu had no expression on his face, his eyebrows were downcast, and he didn't express anything.

It became obvious that the prince wanted to be Duke Huan of Qi.

Duke Huan of Qi was not the eldest son, but he was fighting for the top position, and the prince Xie was also not the eldest son.

Duke Huan of Qi worshiped Guan Zhong as his chancellor to gain the capital to become hegemony later, and the Prince Association hoped that Xun Yu would become his Guan Zhong.

Seeing that Wen Ruo didn't say anything, the Prince's Association knew that the other party must understand his temptation, but he still refused to show his support. He was also very disappointed in his heart, but it didn't show it on his face.

"Gu listened to Wen Ruo's teachings today and benefited a lot. I would like to thank Wen Ruo here."

The prince assisted with a salute, which was meant to see off the guests.

After Xun Yu returned the salute, he said in a low voice: "Your Highness, my old friend asks Your Highness to condescend to go to Beiman Mountain. He wants to talk to His Highness."

The prince Xie, who had his back to Xun Yu, turned around in doubt, and after thinking about it again, he suddenly realized, old friend?Guo Jia.

Hehe, I was desperate and thought of being alone.

"I know."

After finishing speaking, the Prince Xie walked towards the inner palace, but did not say whether he would go or not.

After Xun Yu left, the prince Xie summoned Jian Shuo, and after telling Guo Jia that he wanted to invite him to Beiman Mountain, he asked Jian Shuo to give him advice on whether to go or not.

Guo Jia is now a traitor. If the relationship between the Prince's Association and Guo Jia is exposed, the situation that is not conducive to fighting for reserves will be even worse.

After thinking for a while, Jian Shuo said: "Your Highness has no choice but to retreat now. It's okay to see Guo Jia. If he is just pleading for Cai Yong's daughter, then His Highness can ignore it. If he has other plans, His Highness can consider it." Let's decide."

There is no way to retreat, no way to retreat... The prince Xie muttered to himself, for him, the current situation is indeed impossible to retreat, the emperor's brother has the support of the queen inside, and the assistance of the general outside, no matter how you look at it, he can't compete Brother Huang, when he went to see Guo Jia and was discovered, it was nothing more than being splashed with dirty water. With the emperor's grandmother and father around, his life was still safe.

After thinking about the pros and cons, the Prince's Association did not hesitate, and in the early morning of the next day, Jian Shuo led the Xiyuan army to escort him out of Luoyang in the name of going out to hunt, and went straight to Beiman Mountain.

Beimang Mountain has beautiful scenery, lush and green, and the peaks are as green as clouds, and many myths and legends are bred in it.

The village at the foot of the mountain has long been deserted. The reason is that the Taiping Dao army forced Luoyang four years ago.

Captain Jian Shuo of the Shangjun Academy led the West Garden Army to come in mighty force. In the ruined village, one man stood with his hands behind his back, calmly waiting for the army to approach.

After a distance of one mile, he ordered the whole army to stop, and then ordered the soldiers to surround the village in front. Jian Shuo personally led two teams of cronies to protect the prince Xie and walked towards the village.

Looking at the Prince Xie who straddled the horse with a well-fitting cloak, Guo Jia smiled calmly and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, Your Highness is still as handsome as ever."

Prince Xie smiled slightly, jumped off the horse, and Jian Shuo led the soldiers to accompany him to Guo Jia.

Seeing that look of being prepared, Guo Jia shook his head slightly. This detail was discovered by the Prince's Association, and he was taken aback for a moment. Looking around, he found that there was indeed something fussy about it.

Will Guo Jia harm him?The Prince Association is sure not, because if Guo Jia wants to use him to blackmail the emperor in exchange for Cai Yan, then he is not a genius Guo Jia.

Because as long as Guo Jia's kidnapping of the Prince's Association is known to the court, the general will definitely ask for orders and lead the army to rescue it. Whether it is impossible to save Guo Jia and force Guo Jia to kill the Prince's Association, or if the general kills the Prince's Association after being rescued, the result is the same. On this point, Guo Jia will not be unexpected.

"Retire, Mr. Jian is enough to accompany Gu."

The prince's association waved away the left and right guards, came to Guo Jia, smiled and said: "Feng Xiao escaped from death, these days, he has suffered."

In the lonely and desolate village, Guo Jia and the prince stood side by side, and Jian Shuo stood behind them with a vigilant expression.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. I haven't seen you for a few months. Jia wants His Highness to guess what is the purpose of Jia's trip to meet His Highness?"

Seeing the demeanor and demeanor of the people beside him, the prince Xie couldn't help but admire: Guo Jia, you are so arrogant even when you ask for help!

"Could it be for Cai Yong's daughter?" The Prince's Association didn't want to stay here for a long time, and went straight to the point.

"Wrong! Jia came here this time to serve His Highness."

Guo Jia still looked up to the sky, without the slightest sincerity to contribute.

The prince Xie laughed, shook his head, and said, "Could it be that Fengxiao deceived me to be ignorant? Back then at Wen Ruo's mansion, you never made it clear that you would work for Gu, why did you take the initiative to do so today?"

Guo Jia looked sideways, looked down at the Prince's Association, and waited for him to put away his smile before seriously asking: "Your Highness, do you know who was behind the bloody escape of Luoyang Dongmen Jia that day? And what is his purpose?"

With a strange expression on his face, the Prince Xie thought to himself: No matter who the envoy is, don't they all want your life, Guo Jia?Ying Chuan Guo Fengxiao, defiant, has repeatedly committed crimes of disobedience, there are countless people who want your life.

Seeing his silence, Guo Jia chuckled lightly and said, "Your Highness, I will tell you the purpose of the mastermind that day, and you come and tell me who is the mastermind. Jia escaped by chance from the east gate of the imperial city that day. The purpose of the man's treachery is to make Jia unable to be used by His Highness. Maybe His Highness doesn't believe it, but His Highness can think about it. Although Jia has repeatedly committed bloody crimes, the people he offended are no more than local villains. Luoyang Imperial City can make the Yuan family's son and Cao Cao Jia has never offended the people who served together."

That day in the bloody battle at the east gate of Luoyang, although it was announced to the world that Guo Jia was plotting rebellion, the people in the power vortex in the imperial city knew that it was Yuan Shu and Cao Cao who took the initiative to attack Guo Jia and wanted to kill Guo Jia.

I didn't think much about it at that time, but now that the prince's association with Guo Jia mentioned it, he blurted out: "General!"

Prince Xie figured out the cause and effect by himself. Accompanied by Jian Shuo, he went out of the palace to Xun Yu's mansion and had a secret talk with Guo Jia. Others may not know about this matter, but the eyes and ears of the general and empress are all inside and outside the palace. Don't know?They must have been worried that Guo Jia would join the Prince's Association, so they wanted to besiege and kill Guo Jia the next day. Although they failed, their goal had been achieved.

"Why does Fengxiao want to follow Gu now? Please Fengxiao frankly, it's not that Gu believes in Fengxiao, but Gu knows that when Wenruo was in the house, Fengxiao didn't take Gu in his eyes at all."

At this moment, Prince Xie's heart was extremely complicated, and he was concerned about gains and losses. He wanted Guo Jia as a talent, but he was afraid that Guo Jia was just perfunctory him.

Guo Jia's eyes drifted to the blue sky and white clouds again, and said lightly: "Your Highness, you can know that in the current situation, not only the ruler chooses the ministers, but the ministers also choose the ruler. Back then, I, Guo Jia, was an innocent person in Wenruo's mansion. I can go wherever I want. Wherever you go, you can vote for whoever you want, and His Highness really couldn't convince Jia at that time, so Jia was unwilling to serve His Highness at that time, but right now, Jia has nowhere to go, the public enemy of the world, and at this time to serve His Highness, Jia also I am testing His Highness to see if His Highness is qualified to let Jia assist."

"How are you going to test Gu?" Prince Xie's small hands trembled slightly, he was suppressing the excitement in his heart.

Guo Jia said indifferently: "Now if His Highness dares to accept Jia's offer, it proves that His Highness is very courageous. If His Highness does not dare, then Jia will leave."

Prince Xie was taken aback, thinking about it carefully, what Guo Jia said was true. At this moment, if he accepted Guo Jia's offer, it would be tantamount to opposing the imperial court and giving someone a handle. This is indeed a test of courage, measure and vision.

"Guo Jia, the ghost, is thirsty for the lonely. The filial piety does not disappoint the lonely, and the lonely does not disappoint the filial piety!" The firm words came from the mouth of the Prince Association.

Looking down at the resolute Prince Xie, Guo Jia sighed softly in his heart: eight-year-old child, what am I doing at eight?Prince Xie, your life is not good.

"Your Highness, Jia is not someone who is trying to gain fame. Someone in Luoyang harmed Jia, and Jia wanted to fight back. Some people don't want Jia to work for His Highness, and now Jia is here to work for His Highness. This is also one of Jia's means of revenge. Your Highness dares to use Jia, Jia So I made suggestions for His Highness. Today, Jia has made three strategies for His Highness, and I just ask His Highness to show his sincerity in attracting Jia."

Three strategies!

The prince Xie was ecstatic in his heart, but he still restrained himself, and said with a light smile, "Gu wish to hear about it. As a filial piety, please tell me what you should do to make you feel Gu's sincerity."

"Jia offers three strategies, Your Highness will send one person to Jia, if His Highness can't do it, hehe, Jiahui thinks His Highness is a mediocre lord, not worth it."

Guo Jia looked relaxed, but Prince Xie felt a little cold in his heart, because he vaguely guessed who Guo Jia wanted.

"Feng Xiao wants to send Cai Yong's daughter to you alone?"

The topic started from Guo Jia denying that it was Cai Yan at the beginning, but here it turned back to Cai Yan, but the person who dominated the situation and had the right to speak was already Guo Jia.
