"Don't talk nonsense. If your brother is a monster, then you are a big monster. Then isn't your father an old monster?" Gao Fei heard Gao Peng's words, shook his head and said unhappily.
After hearing this, Gao Peng chuckled, looked at Gao Kun in his arms, and said lightly: "Our whole family is a monster, hehehe..."
"Stop talking and let's go. Mr. Taiwei is still waiting for us."
So, Gao Fei, Jia Wen, Gao Peng, Gao Gan, and Gao Kun, escorted by Gao Heng and others, left the palace together and went straight to Jia Xu's mansion.
When they arrived at Jia Xu's residence, Jia Xu had been waiting there all morning and personally greeted them at the door. After seeing Gao Fei and others arriving, they exchanged greetings with each other and then entered the inner house.
In the living room, Jia Xu warmly entertained Gao Fei and the others, sometimes talking about national affairs and sometimes trivial family matters. The two of them had a tacit understanding.
After the night banquet was over, Jia Xu welcomed Gao Fei into the study, saying that he had something important to tell him. Gao Fei had been waiting for Jia Xu to talk about it, and at this time he heard that Jia Xu had just finished drinking and eating. After telling this, he followed Jia Xu into the study.
"Your Majesty, please take a seat!" Jia Xu said to Gao Fei politely as soon as he entered the door.
Gao Fei waved his hands and said: "There is no need to be too formal between you and me, not to mention that I am here today wearing casual clothes."
"I understand, but the courtesy between emperor and minister cannot be abolished. Your Majesty, I have a gift to give to the emperor..." Jia Xu was very careful when he spoke, his eyes always staring at Gao Fei's face, and said calmly.
"Oh, Sir Taiwei gave me a gift again? Then I want to see what kind of gift Mr. Taiwei gave me..."
"Bah bang bang!"
Jia Xu raised his hands and gave three high-fives, then he saw a man in a cloak walking out from the side of the study. A thinner man was covered under the broad cloak, which covered the person under the cloak and made people feel uncomfortable. I couldn't see the appearance clearly, but judging from the way the man walked, he looked like a woman, or in other words, the person under the cloak was a woman.
"This is..." After Gao Fei saw it, he didn't know what kind of medicine Jia Xu was selling in his gourd.
Jia Xu chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, when your Majesty returned in triumph half a month ago, he accidentally saw a beautiful woman in the city who was stunningly beautiful. This is the beauty that your Majesty saw that day..."
Gao Fei's heart was moved, and he immediately looked at the man in the cloak and said calmly: "Can I take off the cloak and see the person with his true face?"
The man in the cloak nodded and said nothing, but slowly took off his cloak. What appeared in front of Gao Fei was a young and beautiful woman, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and a small cherry mouth. His figure looked a bit unmanageable.
"Young lady Yuan Xing has met the emperor." The woman announced her home address. Seeing Gao Fei's eyes staring straight at her, she took a step or two forward, bowed and said.
"Yuan Xing..." When Gao Fei heard this name, his first reaction was that he was a little surprised. He only knew the famous beauties from the Three Kingdoms period such as Diao Chan, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Zhen Mi, Cai Yan, etc., but he had never heard of them. I have said that there is another one named Yuan Xing, and judging from Yuan Xing's appearance alone, she is definitely no less beautiful than any other.
"Your Majesty, I had the honor to see this girl with the Emperor that day. Seeing that the Emperor was a little interested in this girl, he sent people to search for her. Finally, he found this girl in a suburb outside the city. I want to ask for her personal opinion. Later, I brought this girl and presented it to the emperor." Jia Xu said slowly.
After Gao Fei heard this, he felt very relieved. Jia Xu was indeed good at figuring out his thoughts, but he always put things in the best possible position. He was neither arrogant nor domineering, very honest and reliable, and Jia Xu was very honest and reliable.
Xu has always played an important role in his life. If he had walked all the way from Liangzhou, without Jia Xu, his life might not have been so smooth.
"Your Majesty Taiwei did a very good job." Gao Fei praised, but his eyes were always on Yuan Xing. After sizing him up, he asked: "Miss Yuan, where are you from?"
"Replying to the emperor, Minnu is from Runan. She moved to Luoyang from Runan a few years ago and settled on the outskirts of the capital."
"Well..." Gao Fei saw that Yuan Xing was answering fluently, and he didn't feel the slightest fear of him. Moreover, Yuan Xing's body also exuded a sense of nobility. For some reason, Gao Fei always felt that this woman was not an ordinary citizen.
female.
Yuan Xing was a little panicked under Gao Fei's sharp eyes. She was only ten steps away from Gao Fei, but her heart was confused by Gao Fei's sharp eyes. She didn't dare to look at Gao Fei anymore.
Fei took the initiative to take a step forward, and suddenly took out a sharp dagger from his sleeve with his left hand, and fired it towards Gao Fei's face.
Jia Xu was shocked. He didn't expect that Yuan Xing would openly assassinate Gao Fei. In desperation, he blocked Gao Fei with his body and shouted loudly: "There is an assassin!"
Senhan's dagger flew directly towards Gao Fei, but Jia Xu stood in front of Gao Fei. The dagger would hurt Jia Xu first. Jia Xu looked frightened and regretful in his heart. His little thoughts
, unexpectedly led the wolf into the house, and he was afraid that he would be blamed for his own death. He closed his eyes and stood in front of Gao Fei with the determination to die.
Suddenly, Gao Fei swung his long sword, heard a "dang" sound, and knocked down the dagger. At the same time, he hugged Jia Xu with his left arm, turned around, and stabbed Yuan Xing with his long sword.
Pointing directly at Yuan Xing's neck.
Yuan Xing was startled. She didn't expect that Gao Fei had not been stabbed within such a short distance. Seeing Gao Fei stabbing him directly, a dagger suddenly appeared in his right palm, trying to block Gao Fei's sword.
However, Gao Fei's sword suddenly turned and his sword moves changed, knocking the dagger out of Yuan Xing's hand, and the sword was placed on Yuan Xing's neck.
At this time, Gao Heng led people in from outside the study. Seeing that the situation in the study had been stabilized, he immediately said: "Escort me!"
Gao Heng walked to Gao Fei's side, glanced at Yuan Xing and the two daggers on the ground, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Gao Fei Senhan fixed his eyes on Yuan Xing and asked: "Tell me! Why do you want to assassinate me!"
"You are the enemy who killed my father. If I don't avenge you, I will never be a human being." Seeing that she had been captured, Yuan Xing didn't hide anything. She immediately shouted out without any fear at all.
"The enemy who killed your father? Who is your father?" Gao Fei put away his sword and inserted it into his waist. Two guards escorted Yuan Xing and he shouted.
"Hmph! You actually forgot what you did? Now that I'm in your hands, I have nothing to say. You can kill or chop me into pieces as you please. It doesn't matter if I tell you. My father is
Yuan Shao."
"Yuan Shao? Are you Yuan Shao's daughter?" Gao Fei asked a little surprised.
During the Battle of Yecheng, Yuan Shao's family was destroyed. Except for Yuan Shao's two concubines who were still alive, the rest were buried in Yecheng. Why did another daughter escape?
"Yes, my father is Yuan Shao. You killed my whole family, and I want to avenge my whole family."
"I see. Since you are Yuan Shao's daughter... Gao Heng!" Gao Fei didn't want to ask any more questions and shouted immediately.
"I'm here!"
"Let her go, drive her out of Luoyang, give her a horse and some travel expenses, and let her take care of herself."
"Your Majesty, she is an assassin..." Gao Heng said in surprise.
"She is an unqualified assassin. Let her go. I think she will understand in the future that war is indeed cruel sometimes." Gao Fei said.
"You really won't kill me?" Yuan Xingye said in surprise.
"If I wanted to kill you, I would have killed you just now. Since you are a descendant of Yuan Shao, I am not willing to harm you. It has been so many years. You will understand what war is in the future."
Gao Heng directly escorted Yuan Xing out. Gao Fei turned around and looked at Jia Xu, who was frightened and looking guilty, and immediately said: "Your Excellency, don't take it to heart. This matter is over."
Jia Xu knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Gao Fei and said: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. I accidentally led a wolf into the house and almost killed Your Majesty. Please punish me."
Gao Fei said: "Your Excellency Taiwei, you don't have to blame yourself. I was almost confused by her just now. If it weren't for the coldness in her eyes, I wouldn't have seen through it. Your Excellency Taiwei has always been thinking about me and risked his life just now."
The spirit of coming to escort you is worthy of recognition, but the captain was a little frightened and needs to be nursed back to health."
After saying that, Gao Fei turned around and walked out, and then left the Jia Mansion with Jia Wen, Gao Peng, Gao Gan, and Gao Kun.
Jia Xu was even more bored for a while. He originally wanted to dedicate it to the high-flying beauty, but he didn't expect that the beauty was an assassin. It was really a waste of money.
Seeing Gao Fei leaving, Jia Xu personally escorted Gao Fei outside the house, and then watched them disappear into the night, feeling even more sad in his heart.
The next morning, Jia Xu personally handed over a memorial. After reading it, Gao Fei frowned and was about to close the memorial. He stared at Jia Xu closely with bright eyes and asked, "This is yours."
Real opinion?”
Jia Xu knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I have clearly seen that I have violated the divine grace and made a big mistake. I have no dignity to continue to serve as the head of the Privy Council. I only ask for your permission. I am deeply grateful."
"
Gao Fei said: "In that case, I will allow you to play. However, I will not allow you to reduce your rank or resign. Your title will remain the same. From now on, you will withdraw from the Privy Council and be demoted to the rank of Minister of the Ministry of Intelligence. Your salary will remain the same."
Jia Xu was so grateful that he had nothing to say and could only say silently: "I obey your order."
Many ministers didn't know what happened. Jia Xu suddenly withdrew from the Privy Council, which shocked many ministers and looked at each other.
Gao Fei looked around and said immediately: "Since last year, our Chinese army has successively destroyed Han and Wei, and incorporated part of Jingzhou, Yizhou, Liangzhou, and Qinzhou into the territory of our Huaxia Kingdom. However, due to the tense war, many meritorious services have been lost."
This person has never received a reward. Today, I will reward him based on his merits."
"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor!" Many ministers knelt down to listen to the imperial edict.
