Can I get to the other side?

Guo Jia's answer was pun-intended and impeccable.

It’s correct no matter which angle you look at it.

This posed a problem for Jia Xu, because he didn't know what Guo Jia meant.

"Is he testing me?"

Jia Xu was vaguely aware of it in his heart.

It is already known to everyone that he went to the palace to meet the emperor a few days ago, but on the surface he was loyal to the emperor, but in fact he was serving Yuan Shao. After all, the other party was the real person in power at the moment, and the emperor had no real power.

Now Guo Jia suddenly came over to test him like this...

Could this be Yuan Shao's instruction?

Just when Jia Xu was thinking about the deep meaning behind Guo Jia's words, the housekeeper came over.

"Sir, lunch is ready."

After hearing this, Jia Xu gathered his thoughts and smiled at Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, let's go have a meal first."

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Good."

So the two of them went to eat together.

At the dinner table, they all tacitly agreed not to mention the conversation they had just had in the lobby, but instead chatted about the situation.

As we chatted, we came to the subject of the true and false emperor.

Jia Xu asked Guo Jia how Liu Xie escaped from Xudu to Yecheng, and Guo Jia told him the truth.

After listening to this, Jia Xu sighed with emotion: "Cao Cao wants to blackmail the emperor to order the princes. It shows that he has great ambitions and has long been disobedient."

"Your Majesty's ability to escape from Xudu is truly a blessing from God."

Guo Jia said: "Those who have attained the Dao will get many help, but those who have lost the Dao will have little help. The destiny of the Han Dynasty has not been exhausted, how can Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and their like be able to replace him? Guang Luxun thinks that?"

Jia Xu's eyes moved slightly, he held up the wine glass and said with a smile: "What Feng Xiao said is absolutely true. I thought that when I was as rampant as Dong Zhuo, I ended up like a lantern in the sky, and died without a burial place."

"Cao Cao and Yuan Shu are not as far away as Dong Zhuo. How can they overthrow the Han Dynasty? Now that Yuan Shu is defeated like a mountain, he will be overthrown sooner or later."

"As for Cao Cao, he is a dead man in the grave!"

After hearing Jia Xu's comments, Guo Jia nodded and said: "That's right, and although your Majesty is young now, he already has the qualifications to be a wise king; now with the help of Guang Luxun, he will definitely be able to eliminate the unruly ministers and create a wise man in the future! "

"Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and their like can only be rampant for a while, but they will never be able to overturn the foundation of the Han Dynasty!"

Jia Xu clapped his palms and exclaimed, "That's right! Serving as a filial piety is indeed a loyal minister of the great Han Dynasty. I will offer you a glass of filial piety!"

He said as he drank the wine in his glass.

Guo Jia responded in kind.

The meal was finished soon, and the atmosphere was quite good during the period. Jia Xu marveled at Guo Jia's profound knowledge at a young age; Guo Jia admired Jia Xu's quick thinking and unparalleled eloquence.

After the meal, the two met each other late and became friends. They chatted with each other for a long time until it was getting late.

Guo Jia declined Jia Xu's invitation to stay overnight in the mansion, and after making an appointment to visit him next time, he boarded the carriage home smelling of alcohol.

Jia Xu went out to escort Guo Jia to the door of the mansion, helped Guo Jia into the carriage with his own hands, and watched his carriage drive away.

After seeing Guo Jia off, he stopped outside the house for a long time before turning back to the house.

Guo Jia gave him a strange feeling today.

It's not like he came as a lobbyist for the third son Yuan Shang. Instead, he was mentioning the emperor intentionally or unintentionally, and testing his attitude by making insinuations.

It's more like...he came to work as a lobbyist for the emperor.

"etc."

Jia Xu felt that he had caught something, and he couldn't help but recall what Yuan Xi said to him last time when he came to visit him.

"Last time I was going to marry the Zhen family, he was the one who made suggestions for Yuan Shang and used tricks to ruin the marriage and harm this junior!"

Zhenshi, Zhenshi...

Isn’t Zhen’s daughter in the palace now?

After thinking about this point, Jia Xu woke up from most of the wine at once, a look of surprise flashed across his fat face, and his eyes were complicated.

Could it be this Guo Fengxiao?

Is he really the emperor's lobbyist?

…

Inside the carriage.

Guo Jia, who was originally drunk, sat up now, his eyes were clear, and there was no sign of being drunk at all?

He usually likes wine, and the wine he drank at Jia's house was nothing to him, how could he get drunk. He was just pretending to be drunk on purpose.

"call……"

Breathing out a mouthful of turbid alcohol, Guo Jia began to recall the back and forth testing and repeated pulling with Jia Xu in Jia's house today, as well as the flaws he deliberately left.

He believed that with Jia Xu's resourcefulness, he would not be unaware of it. Afterwards, if he thinks about his actions in recent times, he should come to a conclusion.

But that's all.

Jia Xu could rely on these clues and the conversations he had with him today to deduce that he might be involved with the emperor.

But it is not enough evidence to constitute a threat.

"Hopefully he's winnable."

Guo Jia sighed and rubbed his temples, feeling a little sleepy.

Playing around with people like Jia Xu is really a time-consuming and energy-consuming thing. It’s so tiring.

The carriage soon stopped at Guo Jia's residence.

After Guo Jia returned home, he found that Yuan Shang was actually at his home. When he saw him, he immediately stood up and came over to greet him.

"Sir, have you successfully recruited Guang Luxun?"

Yuan Shang asked expectantly.

He had been waiting here early, just to hear the results of Guo Jia's win over Jia Xu and whether the win over was successful.

Faced with Yuan Shang's expectations, Guo Jia replied: "Guang Luxun accepted the gift, but expressed his unwillingness to participate in the fight between the third and second sons."

"He is a man who knows how to protect himself. Now that he has just arrived in Yecheng and joined the general, it is normal for him to respond like this."

Yuan Shang was disappointed when he heard this, but then he thought that Jia Xu also did not accept Yuan Xi's recruitment, so he became much happier and smiled again.

At this time, he noticed that Guo Jia was full of alcohol, so he asked curiously: "Sir, are you having dinner at Jia's house?"

"Yes."

Guo Jia did not deny it and replied: "Guang Lu Xun and I hit it off at first sight and had a great chat."

"Good!"

Yuan Shang was overjoyed and patted Guo Jia's shoulder heavily and said: "It is beneficial to have a good relationship with Guang Lu Xun!"

"Sir, you should interact with Guang Lu Xun more in the future. Maybe one day you can win him over and make him an assistant to this young master!"

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Don't worry, Third Young Master."

Of course, he will interact with Jia Xu more in the future.

But it's not for you.

However, Yuan Shang, who was immersed in joy, did not notice Guo Jia's deep eyes at all.

The sun hanging on the top of the mountain in the distance slowly set, and the setting sun stretched Guo Jia's shadow very long, covering Yuan Shang completely.
