The ministers left one after another, but Hua Xiong was retained by Liu Xi. Liu Xi directly led Hua Xiong back to Houde Hall. He still had some things to ask Hua Xiong. The other ministers returned individually. Jia Xu lowered his head and trembled. He walked tremblingly towards the door. The ministers around him couldn't bear it in their hearts. Alas, at such an old age, he is still so miserable and has to be bullied by Hua Xiong's thief. How miserable is Mr. Jia.
Lu Yu supported him on the side and walked slowly towards the door. He had just seen Jia Xu's radiant appearance in the mansion, and now looking at him with such a stooped appearance, Lu Yu really didn't know what to say. What, he could only say that he had indeed learned a lot during these days following Jia Xu. Just as he was thinking about it, Guo Jia led Cao Chong over and walked to Jia Xu's side.
Even though Cao Chong had just offended Jia Xu, Lu Yu did not dare to provoke Guo Jia. He could only lower his head and pretend not to see it, but Guo Jia smiled and said: "Wen He, I think your legs and feet are very good." It's bad. I have a folk remedy passed down from my ancestors. Do you want to give it to you?" Hearing Guo Jia's words, Jia Xu suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "I haven't used Fengxiao's folk remedy just now. Is it done? How is the effect? Are you satisfied?"
"Wen He is joking, shouldn't you know the efficacy of this folk remedy yourself best? Why do you need to ask me?" Guo Jia smiled. The two of them put on their shoes and walked towards the door. Jia Xu suddenly spoke. Said: "Fengxiao, my disease is not easy to cure. You have to know that sometimes, quack doctors can not only harm others..."
"Hahaha, I know, but there are many famous doctors in Luoyang... You don't have to worry, I know a lot of miracle doctors, and they are willing to help you..."
"Oh?" Jia Xu turned his head, stopped, squinted his eyes, and carefully looked at Guo Jia in front of him, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, my legs and feet are getting better. I've been running for three years, but I still have nothing. What's the problem... It's just that I have to take this medicine once. If there are still people who come to give me medicine... Hehehe..." Jia Xu grinned, showing his white teeth, and stood up. Cao Chong, who was behind Guo Jia, was startled.
Jia Xu's smile was extremely weird and scary. Cao Chong just glanced at it and immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at each other. Only Guo Jia was silent, staring at Jia Xu for a long time and nodded. Without saying anything else, he turned and left.
Jia Xu watched Guo Jia leave, while Lu Yu stood aside. He was only half-understanding of what the two of them said. He vaguely guessed that the two seemed to have made some kind of agreement. He didn't know the specific content. He asked with some confusion: "Jia Gong... Hua Xiong and Cao Chong, are they going to let go like this?" Jia Xu smiled helplessly and said: "They were ordered by the emperor to treat illnesses, and I What can be done?”
Lu Yu nodded thoughtfully.
Jia Xu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Sooner or later, this temple will belong to you young people... Remember, if you take over my position, you will stay with people like Cao Chong, Man Chong, Yuan Shang, and Zhuge Liang." , Be on guard against Sima Yi, Fazheng..." Hearing his words, Lu Yu quickly shook his head and said in fear: "What do you think Mr. Jia is, how can I have the talent to take over your position? I I'll run errands for you for the rest of my life, that's enough!"
Jia Xu suddenly laughed and patted his shoulder, "Well done!"
At this time, Hua Xiong was sitting in the Hall of Houde. Liu Xi sat in front of him and asked curiously: "Uncle, what's the matter with the injury on your arm?" Hua Xiong
He smiled awkwardly and then said: "I drank some wine yesterday and got up late for the meeting today. My maid at home... couldn't wake me up. In order to prevent me from being late, she pinched me awake.
...That’s how it became.”
"How dare your maid treat the master like this???" Liu Xi's eyes widened.
Hua Xiong coughed and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know that I am gentle to others, and my servants and maids are all very close to me...that's why."
Liu Xi nodded. From Jia Xu's almost spurting blood, he could tell that Hua Xiong's injuries were definitely not caused by Jia Xu's men. Logically speaking, if Jia Xu really dared to do this, neither would Hua Xiong.
Jealous, he has a good reputation in the army, and Sun Jian will probably lead someone to fight him the next day. However, Liu Xi didn't believe it when he was choked like this by his maid. It seems that he still has to ask Yuan Shang before he leaves.
These things.
"Uncle, have you prepared for the animal husbandry matter?"
"I'm not making this up. Your Majesty, this Jia Xu is really too lazy. I went to him several times, but he always asked me to do whatever I wanted. What should I do??" Hua Xiong felt helpless.
Said: "Besides, this guy has never been a gentleman. When Dong Gong was still alive, he said many times that I should be careful about this person. Your Majesty, you have to be careful too..." Hua Xiong Lao Nao
As he started talking, Liu Xi smiled and listened.
Hua Xiong wandered towards the mansion, humming an unknown ditty all the way, and walked to the door of the house. Just as he was about to open the door, he saw Dong Bai rushing out, took the wine bottle from his hand with a smile, and returned.
After entering the mansion, Hua Xiong sighed helplessly and followed him in. These days, Dong Bai was completely dependent on him, but Hua Xiong also kept a distance from her and never got close to her.
Dong Bai had already prepared the meal, Hua Xiong sat at the main seat, and the two began to eat.
Hua Xiong asked helplessly: "When will you leave?"
"I won't leave. If you want to leave, you leave. Anyway, I won't leave!!"
"You! You! Don't bully others too much!! This is my mansion!!"
"I won't leave anyway! What can you do?"
"You won't leave?!" Hua Xiong stood up, like a grumpy bear. He glared at Dong Bai and roared angrily: "Then I'm leaving! The house is for you!!" He said, and was about to leave.
, Dong Bai rushed forward, grabbed his arm, and hung her on his arm. Hua Xiong swung her around, but he couldn't shake her off. Hua Xiong was furious and helpless, and was tearing her away. The door was suddenly opened.
Guan Yu was very happy that the Northern Army finally returned to Luoyang.
And he will finally succeed Huang Zhong and become the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army. As for Huang Zhong, he is going to the Taiwei Mansion. It is said that he will serve as Sun Jian's deputy. However, according to his status, in the Taiwei Mansion
His status was definitely not low, and he could even compete with Sun Jian for the position of Taiwei. Guan Yu became the general of the Northern Army. After making arrangements for the military affairs, he immediately came to find his only brother in Luoyang, Hua Xiong.
We haven't seen each other for many years, and Guan Yu misses him very much.
After pulling some wine bottles, Guan Yu came to Hua Xiong's mansion in high spirits. As soon as he opened the door, he was stunned. Hua Xiong was fighting with a disheveled woman. It looked like they were fighting fiercely. Guan Yu's joyful expression
His face gradually solidified, and so did Hua Xiong. Dong Bai and he looked out the door at the same time, looking at Guan Yu who looked confused. Hua Xiong opened his mouth wide and was speechless, while Dong Bai's face was red with embarrassment.
He also opened his mouth wide.
Guan Yu was at a loss for a moment, and then said: "Sorry to bother you, farewell!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but Hua Xiong quickly broke away from Dong Bai, "Changsheng!! Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!!!"
After chasing Guan Yu, the two of them sat in the mansion, with wine on the desk, but the atmosphere was a bit silent. For a moment, neither of them knew what to say. Hua Xiong coughed and then said: "Don't worry.
Don't misunderstand me, she has nothing to do with me, she is Dong Gong's granddaughter..." Hua Xiong just said, Guan Yu shook his head and said somewhat complicatedly: "Hua Manzi, Dong Gong treats you well.
...How could you..."
"No! Listen to me!!" Hua Xiong said a little irritably: "It was her family who bullied her. She just ran to me and stayed with me and refused to leave. How could I, Hua Xiong?"
That kind of person??”
"So you took her in?"
"Oh...you..." Hua Xiong gritted his teeth and said painfully: "I also want to drive her away, but she won't leave. What can I do?"
"hehe."
"Forget it! Drink!!"
The two started drinking. The two people who had not drank together for a long time had a different taste when they drank. After drinking some wine, Guan Yu started to tell the stories of these days. Guan Yu said: "Don't you?"
You know, I was in Jiaozhou, fighting with those bandits outside the Great Wall, and finally drove them to a dead end, but the Yangzhou navy took advantage of me!!" Hua Xiong also laughed, "I can only blame you for your fate.
good!"
"To be honest, I may have to leave for a while..."
"Oh? Where to go?"
"Your Majesty handed over the Northern Army to me..." Guan Yu said, but Hua Xiong was so surprised that he almost spit out his drink. He was envious and jealous. Looking at Guan Yu, Hua Xiong sighed again.
At a loss for words, Guan Yu smiled softly and said: "Let me tell you something. Don't mention it to outsiders. This time, I will lead the Northern Army to Xizhou..."
"A war with Kushan is about to begin???"
"Of course not...ahem, it's just to get along with the Southern Army. The Taiwei wants to start a war with Kushan as soon as possible, but the ministers of the DPRK and China do not agree. They are still working on the canal. When the canal is completed, I am afraid that the Taiwei will
We will immediately launch a full-scale war against Guishang. This time we go to Xizhou to cooperate with the Southern Army and occupy all the northern areas of Guishang. We may even launch some attacks on the south..." Guan Yu said some words, but
Did not continue.
Hua Xiong also understood that these were military secrets, and it was not convenient for Guan Yu to mention them to him.
Hua Xiong looked at Guan Yu with great envy, and said helplessly: "Longevity... this..." He wanted to say something, but did not speak. Guan Yu glanced at him and asked: "What's the matter?"
"Why don't you give His Majesty a word and let me follow you? Just give me a corps commander, that's enough. I don't want to stay here anymore... I want to go back to the battlefield, just let me be a soldier and die in battle."
It's okay! Even though I'm old, I can still wield a knife and kill people! Don't you believe it?" Hua Xiong said, but Guan Yu was silent. He thought for a moment and looked at Hua Xiong.
, said: "I will talk to His Majesty, but whether it can succeed..."
"Hahaha, it's okay, just mention it..." Hua Xiong said.
After drinking for a while, both of them were a little tipsy. They recalled many things, the most important of which were the events in Liangzhou with Yuan Shu. While talking and laughing, sometimes getting emotional, the two of them sang war songs loudly.
Guan Yu left.
Hua Xiong was drunk. He held a steel knife and waved it in the mansion, singing a war song, making the mansion flash with cold light and violent wind.
As I sang, a tear slipped from the corner of my eye.
