Cheng Yu is one of the six masterminds under Cao Cao. He has a gloomy personality and is the most ruthless. Most of the strategies he offers are poisonous. He is extremely loyal to Cao Cao and has no respect for the emperor Liu Xie. He is not at all like Xun or One type of people looked at Xun Yu with complicated expressions, sighed, and didn't know what to say.
Back then, the two of them worked together to fend off Lu Bu in Bingzhou, thus preserving a few cities for Cao Cao and preventing him from becoming a lost dog. Over the years, they have cooperated with each other tacitly, but now they have gone their separate ways, which is sad.
"Wen Ruo, just take care of yourself!"
After Cheng Yu said this, he walked out of the hall without looking back. He didn't know if he would see Xun Yu in the hall tomorrow. Cao Cao was suspicious, ruthless, and had all the characteristics of an emperor. He would never Allow Xun or to betray himself.
Guo Jia coughed twice. Now it has entered late autumn and the weather has turned cold. He has not been in good health and cannot stand the cold. He takes a lot of soup every year to nurse himself back to health. He is wrapped in court clothes, as if After getting a little warmer, he walked to Xun You's side, with a somewhat worried look on his face, reached out and patted Xun You's shoulder, and said softly.
"Wen Ruo, why are you doing this?"
Guo Jia was born in the Guo family of Yingchuan. Although he was from a side line and had long been reduced to a poor family, he was outstanding in talent. When he was studying in Yingchuan, he was quite famous. He was good friends with Xun You, Xun You and Xi Zhicai. How fun it is to get together often, talk about everything, and talk about ambitions!
Xun Younu's dull expression moved slightly, and his turbid eyes turned to look at the worried Guo Jia. His heart warmed, and he showed a sad and bitter smile, his lips trembled slightly, and his voice was extremely hoarse.
"Fengxiao, there is no need to worry, I have expected this day to come, and I am mentally prepared to commit suicide!"
Xun You looked at the trace of sadness in Guo Jia's eyes, twitched the corners of his mouth again, and smiled a little. There was freedom and joy in this smile, and he said softly.
"You can go back home. There is no need to feel sad for me. This is my own choice and my own path!"
Guo Jia looked lonely. He didn't know what Xun He was thinking. Now that the world is about to be unified, Cao Cao's majesty is becoming more and more awe-inspiring. Even Guo Jia, who has a tired temperament, does not dare to be rude in front of Cao Cao now. Xun You persuaded Guo Jia to return home at this time because he did not want to injure Guo Jia and keep him at a distance. After all, Guo Jia was not alone. He needed to consider the interests of his family and could not act recklessly.
Guo Jia had a gloomy look on his face, took a deep look at Xun He, nodded, and walked out of the hall with heavy steps, but he made up his mind and did not want to watch Xun He die like this.
There were only two people left in the whole hall, Xun You and Xun You. Although Xun You was Xun You's nephew, he was six years older and was already in his prime. However, he was good at taking care of himself and looked even better than Xun You. Younger, with a ruddy complexion, his beard and hair were only a little white, and his back was straight. He walked to Xun You's side, stretched out his hand to hold Xun You's arm, and walked out of the hall together.
Xun You looked sad, glanced at Xun You beside him, and understood why he did not stand in the same position as him just now. The Xun family in Yingchuan has been passed down for thousands of years, and he cannot be implicated because of his choices. Xun You needs to be an official in the court and maintain his position. The lintel does not fall.
Outside the palace, dark clouds were already covering the entire palace. A dull thunder sounded, shaking the heaven and earth. The two of them helped each other out of the palace. The heavy rain fell suddenly, making the two of them feel cold. The court clothes on their bodies were tight. It sticks to the body and is very embarrassing.
Xun You looked up at the gloomy weather where the wind and clouds were gathering, and the rain hit his face mercilessly. His vision was like a lake, and his expression was sad. He smiled miserably, shook his arm, broke away from Xun You's support, and staggered into the heavy rain. Among them, the tragic laughter came from the layers of rain curtains, which made Xun You worried. He quickly followed behind and rushed towards the heavy rain.
Wei Zhongdao was sitting in the pavilion, with the heat rising in front of him and boiling tea on the eucalyptus table. He felt very comfortable. He held his chin in one hand and stared blankly at the autumn rain outside the pavilion. His expression was dull and he said softly.
"What an autumn rain!"
There was a person sitting opposite, who seemed to be unable to bear the cold. He covered his mouth with his right hand and coughed a few times. His face was a little pale. He tightened his tight clothes with his left hand and said to Wei Zhongdao with a bit of sick air.
"Zhongdao, although Wen Ruo is unwise, his crime will not lead to death, so please help him!"
The person who came was none other than Guo Jia. After he went to court, he did not return to his mansion. He took a carriage directly to Wei Zhongdao. He knew that if he wanted to save Xun You's life, only one person could do it, and that was Wei Zhongdao. As long as he If he is willing to speak, Cao Cao will definitely spare Xun or his life for the sake of his face.
When Wei Zhongdao heard this, he looked back at Guo Jia who looked expectantly. He picked up the tea cup in front of him, lowered his head and took a sip. First, his lips and teeth were fragrant, and then there was a slight bitter taste on the tip of his tongue. , and finally the bitterness dissipates, and a sweetness rises, making people have endless aftertaste.
Wei Zhongdao squinted his eyes, with a bit of bright light in his eyes, looking at Guo Jia, who looked anxious. After all, they have been friends for many years. Guo Jia has never asked him, and now he has put aside everything for Xun You. Feeling scruples, Wei Zhongdao put down the porcelain cup in his hand, and a crisp collision sound sounded, which was extremely pleasant and seemed to have a strange magic power. Guo Jiaren's heart suddenly calmed down.
"If Xun Wen wants to be his loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, although I don't agree with it, I won't object to it! Since Fengxiao you have spoken, I will plead with the King of Wei and spare his life, hoping that he will not interfere with the emperor and Wei again. The battle between kings is in progress. After all, I can save him once, but I can’t save him a hundred times!”
Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief, with a relieved smile on his face. His pale face seemed to be a little brighter due to excitement. He picked up the tea cup on the table and saluted Wei Zhongdao.
Come and try it quickly. 】
"Thank you Zhongdao. I'll take tea instead of wine to thank you for Wenruo!"
After saying that, Guo Jia drank all the tea in the cup very simply. This meant that he was weak now, otherwise he would have had a drink to express his gratitude.
Wei Zhongdao waved his hand, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't have much reaction. He took a deep look at Guo Jia, raised his tea cup and drank it all in one gulp, and said softly.
"There's no need to thank me. I saved Xun Wenruo's life, but he may not be happy. He might even blame me for preventing him from committing suicide and leaving his name in history!"
When Guo Jia heard this, his expression froze and he smiled. Then he stopped his smile and said with a faint expression.
"What's the point of leaving a name in history?"
