As soon as the pottery merchant finished speaking, there was a loud "boom" in Jia Xu's mind, like thunder on the ground, which shocked him so much that he couldn't help himself.
His knees were shaking and he almost collapsed to the ground.
The old man's usually calm and calm energy suddenly disappeared. He hurriedly raised his head and looked at the pottery merchant's face. What caught his eye was a kind and smiling face.
But that face was filled with hidden murderous intent at the moment. Although the expression was extremely restrained, Jia Xu was not unable to feel it.
Jia Xu can be regarded as an old man who has experienced many storms. Naturally, he has seen many expressions of wanting to kill someone.
This bastard...he actually doesn't follow the routine?
I am a surrendered minister, and I have helped him! He actually wants to kill him for no reason, just because of his likes and dislikes?
Jia Xu stared at the potter's face with trembling fear, and an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
Maybe this kid is different from the people he met before?
The thoughts in Jia Xu's mind were turning over and over again...
But the pottery merchant suddenly said: "Stop thinking about it. You can't understand my thoughts. What about the generation gap of thousands of years... Come on, drag Jia Xu out and behead him! Drag him down, drag him down..."
"What?" Jia Xu was shocked when he heard this. He never expected that the pottery merchant would kill him whenever he asked, without any regard for common sense.
This is completely inconsistent with the temperament and behavior of a hegemon.
"No, no! You can't kill me! I have a favor with you. I have no fault. I am a surrendered subject!"
"A true obedient minister will never be able to do the things you can do. I hate selfish people like you the most. I won't be able to sleep well with someone like you next to me." The pottery merchant said slowly.
road.
When he said this, he saw Pei Qian and other Tiger Guards walking in.
"Prime Minister, who do you want to kill?" Pei Qian said, cupping his hands.
When Jia Xu saw what had happened, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"I have been a wise man all my life, but I never thought that when I was about to grow old, I would have miscalculated you, little beast, Potter! If you treat me like this, you will definitely not die well in the future!"
Tao Shang calmly looked at Jia Xu, who was getting angry and mad, and then he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Unexpectedly, a man who has always been metaphorically described as a poisonous man can do nothing more than that when facing death... Mr. Wenhe, get up. I didn't mean to kill you. I was just teasing you."
After hearing the words 'just teasing you', Jia Xu was stunned again.
Teasing you?
You're kidding your sister! You must be sick!
Seeing that Jia Xu's face was still unkind, Tao Shang smiled and stretched out his hand to pull him up from the ground, then stretched out his hand to dust him off and said: "Anyway, Wen He first surrendered to me.
Sir, you have been kind to me, how can I harm you?"
After that, he said to Pei Qian: "Prepare a place for Mr. Wenhe to entertain you, and arrange a banquet. I want to have a candlelight talk with Mr. Wenhe tonight."
Speaking of this, the pottery merchant suddenly said: "By the way, Mr. Wenhe, Mr. Tao has just come to our camp for the first time. I have a gold box as a gift from Mr. Tao. I will give it to Mr. Wenhe. Please be sure to keep it under your control."
After saying that, the pottery merchant turned around and picked up a gold box that had been prepared long ago from the table, and handed it to Jia Xu's hand with a smile.
Jia Xu left with lingering fear, leaving the pottery merchant smiling and watching him leave.
Guo Jia was responsible for delivering Jia Xu to the pottery merchant, so he kept watching the farce with his hands behind his back.
After Jia Xu left, Guo Jia smiled and asked the potter: "What's in the gold box?"
The pottery merchant said calmly: "It's just a letter."
"Letter? What letter?"
"A heart-wrenching letter, a letter that will make him no longer conservative in the future and will only serve me wholeheartedly."
Guo Jia seemed a little unconvinced.
"How can he be frightened by a mere letter from you even though he is such a big man?"
The pottery merchant shrugged casually and said, "We can discuss whether we can scare him or not later. I just want to ask you, what did the spies from the school affairs office find out?"
Guo Jia cupped his hands and said: "All the counties in Xichuan are submissive. Only Zhou Yu, who secretly entered Sichuan in the past and wanted to avenge Sun Ce, was ordered by Liu Zhang to go to Jianning to assist the local prefect and deal with the Southern Barbarian invaders. How to deal with this person?
?”
Tao Shang nodded and said: "Zhou Yu will definitely not surrender to me because of Sun Ce's matter. He and I will just fight to the death."
Guo Jia cupped his hands and said: "In that case, let's send troops to conquer and destroy this beast in one go?"
The potter shook his head and said with a smile: "There is no need to be so anxious."
Guo Jia couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.
The pottery merchant smiled and said: "I have sent people to Chang'an and summoned Kong Ming here. I want him to sit here and govern Chengdu. In the future, he will pacify the affairs in the south of Xichuan. Naturally, he will do it for me, and I will no longer care about it.
"
Speaking of this, Tao Shang paused and said: "There are still some small princes and small problems in this world, but they are no longer within the scope of my cleanup. From now on, some issues left over from history will be handed over to my subordinates.
The younger generations did it.”
Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this, then he cupped his hands and said, "The Prime Minister is wise and generous."
The potter smiled faintly, and then walked outside the house. Looking at the dark clouds outside the bed, there was a sign that it was going to rain.
He smiled and said lightly: "Everything is finally settled. Now, I can finally have a good rest."
Guo Jia stood behind him and said: "Don't think things are simple. It is more difficult to govern the world than to pacify the world."
The pottery merchant turned to look at him with a smile and said, "Will my dear brother help me?"
Guo Jia's expression was not very good: "I don't want to help you, but Guo is afraid that if I say this, you will have to kill me..."
…
After Jia Xu arrived at the post house, his mood, which had just been overwhelming, finally calmed down a little.
The old man is not young anymore, he is already sixty years old. After being so frightened, Leng Buding will be a little unable to recover for a while.
After sitting beside the bed for a while, he finally remembered the gold box that the potter had just given him.
Jia Xu tremblingly took out the gold box from his sleeve.
After he opened the gold box, he saw a white brocade handkerchief with writing on it.
Jia Xu opened the white brocade handkerchief and read it once, his hands almost trembling.
The meaning of the words on the white handkerchief is very clear.
'Today's matter is not a child's play. Your Majesty is sixty years old and I am thirty years old. Your Majesty is good at protecting yourself and can betray the people of the world for yourself. The name of the poisonous man is well deserved. Although the world is peaceful, there are still barbarians in all directions.
, for the sake of the world, I beg Duke Jia to put away his guard and help me with all his heart, as if he was born with two minds, his sixty-year-old body does not have much time left, but I am thirty-year-old and have children and grandchildren who can inherit the inheritance, so I will use all my strength to punish him.
I hope your descendants will remember what I said today, and they must remember it.'
