Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a magic stick

Chapter 168

The guests and the host enjoyed themselves until late at night before the banquet ended.

After Yan Qing ordered Zhou Yu to go to bed in the guest room, he looked at Guo Jia, who was drunk, and sighed. Without Lu Bu by his side, he simply didn't bother to bother the servants. He bent down, hugged Guo Jia in a princess hug, and picked him up firmly. Bathed in the eyes of everyone calmly, he sent him back to his room.

But before letting him down, Yan Qing couldn't help but weigh it a little bit, sighing secretly.

No wonder Lu Bu said last time that Guo Jia's weight was 'like a chicken', not to mention the opponent who was born with infinite strength, even he himself did not feel any difficulty in hugging him all the way.

Yan Qing had already forgotten that she was also born with supernatural powers, and was really worried because of Guo Jia's body, which seemed to be stronger on the surface, but did not gain a few pounds after careful care for several years.

Guo Jia seemed to be so drunk that he lost the slightest bit of consciousness, his limbs were limp, and he was at the mercy of Yan Qing.

Yan Qing was unambiguous in his actions, even not as skilled as the first time: first, he quickly stripped off the wine-smelling robes, took advantage of the fire to warm the room, and immediately changed into clothes and warmed them by the brazier. He helped the other party to sit up again, poured a bowl of hangover soup, and then sent him into the bed and tucked the corners of the quilt.

This series of actions was completed in an extremely coherent manner by Yan Qing, it can be said to be done in one go.

Yan Qing looked at her finished product with satisfaction, finally pinched Guo Jia's sleeping cheek, and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he was pulled. It turned out that the sleeve of the robe was grabbed by the person who was supposed to be lying peacefully on the couch.

Guo Jia's eyes were clear, and there was no trace of drunkenness: "My lord, please stay."

Yan Qing was startled, then laughed and said: "There is only one Zhou Gongjin at the table, who has not even reached the crown, what are you doing pretending to be drunk?"

Guo Jia said solemnly: "Young people are scary, and it's easier to observe if you're fake drunk."

Yan Qing could hear the intention of having a long talk in his words, so she couldn't help but smile: "Then I will listen carefully."

He simply took off his outer robe neatly, ordered Dian Wei to lead the people to keep a little distance away, and after focusing on the corridor, he lifted the quilt and lay down, next to Guo Jia, and casually said: "Can there be Guo Shao?" If the government is the bed warmer, I will die without regret."

Guo Jiazong was forced to gradually get used to the lord's occasional jokes, and he still couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth twitching after hearing these words.

How can he take advantage of his cheap words?Immediately retorted: "My lord, if you are willing to let go, not to mention the young mansion of a certain district, General Lu Da, and even the prince who is a direct relative, the current holy majesty, I am afraid that they would all be willing to recommend themselves as pillows."

"..."

Yan Qing was stepped on the sore spot, and resentfully said: "Only you have a good memory."

Guo Jia happily whistled: "Thank you, my lord, for your compliment."

If Guo Jia hadn't mentioned it, Yan Qingzhen would have almost forgotten about Liu Xie: "How is King Chenliu doing? He should also be in Qiao County at this meeting, how come no one mentioned it, and he never showed up?"

Guo Jia snorted and smiled: "I was sure that the lord would not harm him, and knowing that Liu Kang's reign was a foregone conclusion, he completely recovered his nature, and he was no longer the cautious look he used to be. He was very happy every day."

Yan Qing asked with interest: "Then what has he been up to?"

Compared with the bad-hearted little emperor who is not only so lame that he doesn't want Lu Bu but Xiao misses himself, and who is determined to use Lu Zhi's bad idea to trick him, Liu Xie, whom he hasn't seen for a long time, looks cute.

Guo Jia never thought of saving Liu Xie's face at all: "I didn't do my job properly and caused a lot of trouble for Wenhe. There is nothing to say about it. After some people in Yanzhou knew his identity, they made some moves in private. , for fear of harming the lord."

Even if today's Son of Heaven has no real power, only a pitiful military power, barely enough for self-protection, and the imperial prestige has plummeted after Dong Zhuo's hooting - he is still the Son of Heaven, the most coveted throne in the world.

Self-reliance is not dared, abolishing the establishment will be notorious, so what about establishing another?

The three edicts issued by Lu Zhi before Liu Kang were not ineffective, but compared with what he had hoped for, the gap was so disappointing.

It can't be blamed for problems in execution, but when Dong Zhuo was raging in the capital, the common people still remember the performance of the majestic officials in the ruling and opposition parties: either begging for mercy, or pretending to be deaf and dumb, or pretending to be a snake, or being punished. If they are captured and imprisoned, they will not be able to protect themselves...the most staunch and upright ones lost their lives in vain, and they could not shake a single hair of Dong Zhuo.

When they were living in dire straits and in a precarious state of fear, it was Yan Sikong who, on his own strength, ascended the heights and summoned the princes of the Kanto region to form an allied army, and almost devoted all his troops to a decisive battle with Dong Zhuo. All made false.

When Yanqing's morale was like a rainbow, the momentum was like a broken bamboo, and when they repeatedly overcome the dangerous pass, they also rejoiced and looked forward to it.

In the end, Yan Qing also failed to disappoint them—that terrifying Hunshi Demon King, with his gang of vicious minions, was completely defeated, and he himself died without a whole body!

Who has made the greatest contribution, and who has committed no crimes after entering the city, and returned the confiscated and looted property by Dong Zhuo to the original owner at the first time? As for not understanding.

Because Lu Zhi spent all his time and energy in his impassioned speeches—avoiding Dong Zhuo’s pursuit—failing to be arrested and imprisoned—under the protection of Yan Qing, he continued to avoid Dong Zhuo’s pursuit—anxiously waiting for the end in the rear—the overall situation was settled, After being requisitioned and returned, he didn't know how Yan Qing, who was fighting in the front line, gained his reputation little by little, so he worked hard, and finally became a typical example of getting twice the result with half the effort.

In any case, the worse Liu Kang's performance was, the more active someone's mind was.

On the other hand, if a talented person is established as an emperor, will he be able to achieve the merits of following the dragon and return the world to a truly peaceful and prosperous age?

Liu Xie also has a noble lineage, and is the real son of the Lingdi Emperor. If he really wants to inherit, it will be much more legitimate than Liu Kang, the reigning son of the mediocre clan.

The most important thing is that behind him, there is Yan Qing standing vaguely.

Yan Qing hummed: "I know this well. But from the beginning, his existence cannot be concealed. Instead of hiding it to make people suspicious, it is better to show it openly and cheat a wave of ulterior motives. Be patient, when they all come up, you can catch them all in one go.”

When Liu Xie fled, he did hide many people, but only when the situation was most critical.

After Yan Qing came here, he neither restrained Liu Xie nor sealed the mouths of those who knew him, so that those who were muttering in their hearts could only continue to mutter.

It just so happened that Liu Xie was also crowned King Chenliu under the ill-intentioned instruction of Empress Dowager He—this is good, although he is a little younger, but because of Dong Zhuo's misfortune, his loyal ministers were disloyal, he came out earlier to 'take office', It is also reasonable.

Guo Jia changed the topic: "Yanzhou's forces are already intricate and complicated. My lord wants to sort them out, but I have to use the mouse's tricks. It's really difficult."

How could Yan Qing not know?

He had worried about this once before, and now his mentality has improved a lot. He smiled when he heard the words: "The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. As long as we don't make a big somersault, they won't dare to act rashly. And even if they want to start , Wen Ruo will definitely not allow it if he notices any signs of it."

The core of Yanzhou is Xun Yu. Although there are some descendants of common people in Bandi, the main composition is those descendants of famous families who are going to Xun Yu.

Cohesion is not to be underestimated, but the loyalty to Yan Qing... probably not as many as Xun Yu alone.

Even Xun Yu is very different from Guo Jia. Rather than saying that he is loyal to Yan Qing, it is better to say that he is loyal to his ideals and beliefs from the beginning to the end, just because he believes that Yan Qing can help realize all this He is a human being, and he does his best to assist the Queen of Town with all his heart.

The aristocratic family is waiting for the opportunity to move, and Xun Yu will stick to it.

Yan Qing has always admired and respected Xun Yu, an idealistic genius who is good at flexibility but never shakes the bottom line.

However, due to the natural differences in their positions, they had to keep the front line, and they couldn't avoid some moral burdens in their hearts when they acted, and they would never be as unreserved as they were with Guo Jia.

They can not only discuss business matters, even discuss treason, but also can make jokes, and they are short of asking questions together. In short, they really talk about everything.

... except that he still can't confess his relationship with Lu Bu.

But Yan Qing also trusted Xun Yu very much strangely—as long as he was not like the late Cao Cao in history, who made Xun Yu intolerable and died of disillusionment in despair, then Xun Yu would definitely manage the rear for him.

And Xun Yu's methods are flexible and changeable, with a certain degree of relaxation, but they are not as gentle and harmless as he described his temperament.

Guo Jia nodded and said, "That's true."

Neither of them had the slightest objection to the noble character of Xun Yu.

Guo Jia calmly said: "Since my lord is successful, Jia can feel at ease and don't say anything more."

Yan Qing kicked him gently under the quilt, and scolded with a smile: "When did I think you were too talkative? Zhou Gongjin, you have seen it too, what do you think?"

Guo Jia said succinctly: "The appearance of a dragon and a phoenix are absolutely extraordinary."

Yan Qing didn't buy it, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's clear at a glance. Say something else."

Guo Jiadao: "My lord, you should not indulge lightly. You can use it, but you can't always use it in Jiangdong."

The two had a good understanding, and Yan Qing immediately reacted: "Are you worried that he will push Bofu to stand on his own?"

Guo Jia was noncommittal: "Only if you know that there is no opportunity to take advantage of, will you eliminate this possibility. Otherwise, in the vast land of Jiangdong, the two sons are both dragons and phoenixes, so why don't you have a lot to do?"

The other side of the river is too strange and too vast.

But the generals in the army who are familiar with the situation there are Sun Jian and his former subordinates, the Huaisi generals.

If they are not used and others are used, it is to put the meaning of guarding against them on the bright side; but allowing Sun Jian, who is loyal to the Han Dynasty in his bones, to dominate, will undoubtedly bury the hidden dangers deeper, which is not in line with long-term considerations .

As for Zhou Yu's suggestion, let Sun Ce sing the black face, and take down the two cards directly, so as to save Yan Qing from running into a wall.

But how could Yan Qing, who is the lord, really get away with it?

The two cards may not really care about with a big and a half. In history, they may be dumbfounded by the opponent's unreasonable playing of cards, and they are afraid that the opponent will become violent, so they are willing to give in at first.

If Yan Qing is the lord, the nature is completely different—how can a mere young general who is not well-known under Yan Qing's account be so capable of manipulating the hearts of the lord, a team of advisers?

It was only at Yan Qing's behest that he dared to do so.

"Did you hear my promise?" Yan Qing asked back.

Guo Jia blinked: "...not yet."

"That's it." There was no surprise on Yan Qing's face, he just smiled lightly: "This is probably the second test question set by Zhou Gongjin. People want to sacrifice the family's wealth and life. It is reasonable to entrust it to me and be more cautious."

"When the lord gave the order that day, Jia followed him resolutely. How could someone like him have so many trivial matters?" Guo Jia said dissatisfiedly, "My lord, I'm afraid I'm too used to him."

Yan Qing couldn't stand him turning black and white: "... At that time, I didn't know who told me to talk badly. After hours of hard work, I said a few good things against my heart. I understood them with reason and moved them with emotion. Finally, I got someone to let me go and agree. , How did it become a matter of 'one order'?"

Guo Jiaji didn't know much about the situation that day, and asked suspiciously: "How many hours are there? At most one."

Yan Qing actually couldn't remember clearly, but his tone was very firm: "Two."

Guo Jia insisted: "One."

Yan Qing stared at Guo Jia blankly for a while, then threw a soft pillow over to violently end the childish quarrel: "Okay, I'll give you one, go to sleep."

The guest room arranged for Zhou Yu was impeccably comfortable, and the servants were extremely considerate in serving him. Zhou Yu, who came from a wealthy family and was pampered since childhood, couldn't find anything wrong.

It was only in the middle of the night that he could faintly hear the melodious music coming from afar through the window lattice. Because it was a familiar Jiangdong ditty, when he accidentally woke up in the middle of the night, he caught a trace and was involuntarily attracted.

I'm afraid it's near the music square, so there's a woman playing the piano.

Zhou Yu didn't care at first, and quietly enjoyed the beautiful music.

But listening to it, he felt uncomfortable all over - how can a piece of music be played smoothly, but there are always one or two mistakes? !

A slight blemish on the white jade is like a pinpoint-sized ink dot suddenly falling on the snow-white paper. It is better to completely destroy the paper from the beginning, and it is better to miss only a little bit.

Zhou Yu frowned more and more, and began to toss and turn.

If it weren't for his deep upbringing, he might not be able to resist sending someone to stop the other party from continuing to make one or two inexplicable wrong sounds.

It's a pity that the sound of the piano lasted for more than half an hour before it slowly stopped. Zhou Yufang, who had been with him for so long, breathed a sigh of relief, and fell asleep with his eyes closed physically and mentally exhausted.

On the other side, after waking up in the middle of the night, after being fully awake from the wine, he became lively and vigorous. He insisted on getting up, and under Yan Qing's resentment, he deliberately played the piano for nearly an hour in the direction of the window of the room where Zhou Yu was staying. Guo Jia, also contentedly, went back to her room with Qin in her arms.
