The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 313 Sun Shangxiang who stays behind closed doors
The two most famous families in Jingzhou are the Kuai family and the Cai family. When Liu Biao came to Jinzhou, he first asked the two brothers Peng Liang and Peng Yue, as well as Cai Mao, to inquire about their strategies. After the two finally reached a consensus, Liu Biao was allowed to secure the position of the Jinzhou tomb.

But it is a pity that Cai Mao was killed by Liu Bei instructing Zhang Fei when Cao Cao went south. Since then, Liu Bei has stood on the opposite side of Jingzhou's wealthy family. , became the biggest enemy of the entire Jingzhou wealthy family.

This is the most important reason why Liu Bei has been unable to win Jingzhou over the years.

Now Xu Shu used Liu Bei's banner to offend Jiangxia's powerful family. Now it seems that even if Liu Bei wants to return to life, it is impossible.

Jiangxia's wealthy family and Jingzhou's wealthy family have all offended him once, and it would be impossible for him to return the world to his hands now.

If he loses popular support, Liu Bei won't be able to go far. Besides, Liu Bei originally used such vulgar excuses as benevolence and righteousness to gain popular support. Now that popular support has been lost, let alone how long he can sit in this position, it would be good if he doesn't get killed secretly by these wealthy families.

Back in Jingzhou, the thing to do is much simpler, and that is to bribe the Peng family and the Cai family. As long as these two families work together, the entire Jingzhou wealthy family will not be afraid of chaos.

When there is chaos, it is time to fish in troubled waters.

After Zhou Yu and Guo Jia conspired together, they sent two teams, disguised as businessmen, with many clever things, stamped food, and some belongings to Kuai's and Cai's houses to bribe them.

Things with official seals are rare items.Even if those wealthy families are used to seeing real gold and silver, they will think highly of them when they see those products with official seals.

It has nothing to do with the amount of money, as long as it has the official seal, it is the property of the official family. Most of the wealthy families started their careers from merchants.

Those things with official seals seem to tell them that as long as they have money, even officials will give them three points of courtesy.

This is the real gift.

After finishing this matter, the three of them returned to the mansion, and Huang Xu was paralyzed in the room.Looking at the ceiling, then at the ground, then at the broken bricks and white walls, I suddenly felt Zhou Yu's frugality.

At this moment, Zhou Yu, Huang Xu, and Guo Jia were drinking in the courtyard. Zhou Yu himself yearned for an elegant mood. The dilapidated walls, fallen flowers all over the floor, and the miserable atmosphere in the courtyard were very in line with his taste, but it really didn't suit Huang Xu and Guo Jia, who were used to living in exquisite houses.

The two of them looked at the dilapidated house, no matter how they looked at it, it was not pleasing to the eye. Thinking of Zhou Yu's ability to live in such a place for so long, they couldn't help admiring him from the bottom of their hearts.

"I said Brother Zhou's house should be repaired, right?"

Guo Jia used to live in a better house during the war than this place. This place is not even as good as a kennel, but Guo Jia was embarrassed to say it. Seeing Zhou Yu's bewildered face, he suddenly understood.

This kid didn't feel that the house was dilapidated, but felt that it was not elegant.

Huang Xu couldn't bear to look at it for a long time, and everything he looked at was not pleasing to the eye.

"Will it not leak in this rainy day? Look at the eaves, look at the roof of this house?"

Huang Xu pointed at the top of his head.

"Look at the ground again, what it has become, and you don't know how to fix it."

Huang Xu stepped on the ground.

"Come here and take a look, look, this place is almost covered with insects, don't you know how to clean the wall?"

He pointed his sword at the wall.

"Look again, don't you get bored living in this kind of place? I'll collapse in a second if I live here."

Huang Xu couldn't find a word to describe Zhou Yu, and looked at him speechlessly for a while.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu was still at a loss.

"But I have sent someone to repair this house a long time ago, and I have refurbished it before you came. Don't you like it?"

Zhou Yu's words completely broke the two of them.

Like a fart, only he, Zhou Yu, would like this kind of place, who would like this dilapidated house.

Huang Xu has been transformed since he was a child. He is used to seeing luxury cars in prosperous places, so he can't bear it at all.And even if the battlefield was a little tougher, he never treated himself badly. He had never seen such a poor place.

Coupled with the fact that the lord has always loved and loved him, and he can win battles, it is even more impossible for him to suffer this kind of grievance. Now that he lives here, his psychology is even more mixed.

The two pointed at Zhou Yu's house and pointed.

Guo Jia has never treated himself badly, just like what he heard from the lord, the lord once said that when there is no battle to fight, treat yourself better, and just win the battle after enjoying it.

Zhou Yu watched the two people sing together, and knew that they were not lying to him, nor did they seem to be faking, he was even more puzzled and thought for a long time before he asked cautiously.

"It's not easy to have this condition when fighting abroad, and I've had it repaired a long time ago. It's so clean here, don't you think?"

Huang Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while, seeing Zhou Yu's bewildered look, he couldn't help but wryly smiled.

"General Zhou, this is considered to be repaired, this is considered to be repaired?!"

Huang Xu suddenly raised his voice, and looked at Zhou Yu in disbelief.

"Even my kennel in Xiapi is much better than this."

This is a bit exaggerated, but what Huang Xu said is completely normal, he is a straightforward person.

Zhou Yu looked around and found that the surrounding area was clean without any problems, so he scratched his head again. Could it be his own problem?

"Is there anything wrong with this?"

However, Guo Jia and Huang Xu's expressions were full of contempt, and they couldn't stand it at all.

"This roof, look at this roof, aren't you afraid that all the rain will leak into the house when it rains?"

"That's right. You can't put a screen here again. If someone comes, won't you immediately know what you are doing?"

"Yes, yes, look again, your table is rickety, what if you spill the wine?"

……

Anyway, why not, Huang Xu blurted out impulsively.

He walked up and down the hall, with disdain everywhere he went.

Every time he said something, Guo Jia echoed it. The two of them were obviously dissatisfied with Zhou Yu's house, and only Zhou Yu still thought his house was good.

"But if it is repaired again, wouldn't it be too extravagant? Besides, I am used to frugality, and I am not used to such extravagance and waste. Moreover, we are only living here temporarily. Even my residence in Jiangdong is nothing more than this."

He knew that Huang Xu was a child, and his words might not be brainy, and he didn't understand. It would take a lot of manpower and material resources to repair it. Now the war is urgent. If it is extravagant and wasteful, it will make the people miserable.

He looked at Guo Jia at the side, and he knew that Guo Jia must understand the truth.

"There is nothing wrong with what Ling Xiao said, even the houses that ordinary people in Xiapi live in are like this."

Unexpectedly, Guo Jia glanced at his house indifferently, and said such a sentence.

It would be fine if Huang Xu said so, but Guo Jia thought so too, Zhou Yu suddenly didn't know what to say.

As if this was indeed a big problem, Zhou Yu couldn't help but reflect on it.

Looking at Zhou Yu's bewildered expression, Huang Xu and Guo Jia knew that he had never seen life in Xiapi.

So he told him about the life in Xiapi, about the science and technology park, the city wall and the mechanism beast.

"Is there really such a fairyland? It's simply impossible."

The two sang together, and Zhou Yu was dumbfounded, especially when he heard the city walls and mechanism beasts, which simply surpassed his imagination, and it was impossible for them to exist in this era.

However, Huang Xu raised his head slightly proudly, and said as if showing off.

"You think it's a fairyland, but we all think it's normal, but our capital city, it's something invented by our adoptive father, how about it? Isn't it amazing!"

"At that time, Zhou Dudu will go and see for himself, and then he will know whether there is such a fairyland."

Guo Jia took a sip of tea lightly and said, it seemed that he didn't regard these as anecdotes at all.

Zhou Yu knew that these two people were no longer lying, and what they said was indeed true, so she couldn't help but yearn for that city, and couldn't help but want to see it.

If this kind of fairyland really exists, then everyone in the world can live a happy life with plenty of food and clothing.

Xuzhou, Xiapi.

Inside the huge city wall, there is a group of buildings with a unique style, which is simply uncanny workmanship, and that is the famous Academy of Sciences.

There is a pavilion rising from the southwest corner of him.

This is the main building of Tiangongyuan.

After finishing all the work, Xi Yu walked out of the room, stood in the corridor and looked into the distance.

Involuntarily took a deep breath.

The breeze was blowing, and the cool breath entered his nostrils, making him feel comfortable all over.

He suddenly remembered a lot of old people, and he didn't know whether Lao Cao had ascended to the sky or descended to the earth.

He couldn't help thinking of many things, and he knew that this was the so-called sage time.

However, in the darkness, he suddenly saw a shadow, and that shadow came out of the darkness.

He quickly knelt down in front of Xi Yu, with quick movements and agility, and handed over a small note with both hands. The small note was naturally the secret letter from Guo Jia, and he knew it without opening it.

The dark guard didn't speak and couldn't see the expression on his face clearly. He could only see his pair of shining eyes. His body and face were all pitch black and merged with the night.

They seem to live in darkness all year round, only those eyes contain infinite light.

Without any emotion or expression, they are as cold as iron.

Xi Yu looked at the dark guard and suddenly smiled.

It seems that this group of hidden guards has finally grown a lot.

Those hidden guards who could see him were already among the top ten among the hidden guards, with extraordinary skills.

This letter was written by Guo Jia. After Xi Yu opened it, he found that there was only one thing in it.

Guo Jia and Xi Yu have a good understanding. He believes that Xi Yu can understand and know what kind of judgment he will make. He only needs to think a little bit, and Xi Yu will understand the reason. He knows that Guo Jia is about to seek Jinzhou.

But now is not the time, and there is no rush to wait for Guo Jia to make preparations so as to win over all the nobles. At that time, those nobles will definitely cause some troubles, but he believes that with Guo Jia's ability, it is impossible for these nobles to make trouble.

Those rich families need to think about it, they need to discuss it, and it takes a long time.

It's still a long time, and they still have a lot to do.

Even sending troops now would disrupt Guo Jia's rhythm, and instead make these things a mess, so he decided to stand still.

It is necessary to choose an appropriate time to dispatch troops.

And if troops are sent out too early, these wealthy families may unite with Liu Bei.

At that time, they will be at a disadvantage.

After going downstairs, he wandered around the Tiangong courtyard and then returned to his mansion.

Walk across the front yard to sit in your own yard.

Then someone came up with tea.

That person was Gan Mei, she didn't expect this lady to do these things that were supposed to be done by servants, it seemed that Gan Mei had something to talk about.

"This is Jingzhou's tea. It has some reputation outside, so why not try it."

Gan Mei smiled and pushed the cup of tea towards him.

Xi Yu looked at her a little strangely, knowing what she wanted to do.

"Let's talk about it if you have something to do. We are all old couples. Do we need to look like this?"

Xi Yu still took a sip of the tea, this tea was still different, it was no different from other teas when he first tasted it, but after tasting it carefully for a while, the discomfort all over his body subsided.

This is the real good tea, and there are some specialties in drinking tea.

"It seems that nothing can be hidden from you."

Gan Mei smiled slightly, as if it was expected to be seen through.

"It was after the sister Lu got beaten up last time, that girl from the Sun family locked herself in her room all the time. She didn't eat, drink, or do anything. She just locked herself in the room. She didn't know what she wanted to do. She didn't even practice her favorite martial art. After all, we were all sisters. I was worried that I would catch some disease if I was bored for a long time, so I tried to persuade her, but I didn't expect that sister of the Sun family to be very stubborn and wouldn't listen to anything. I didn't know how to tell her."

After finishing speaking, Gan Mei glanced at Xi Yu.

"I think my husband's behavior will definitely make her understand. If my husband is so smart, he must say something different from my concubine."

It turned out to be for Sun Shangxiang.

After being beaten up by Lu Lingqi, and then being rejected by the Sun family, he would naturally be autistic.

Maybe it's depression.

He took another sip of tea, not taking this matter to heart at all, and said indifferently.

"What's the point of persuasion? If you want to stay in the room, just stay there. Why do you care so much? It's better to take care of your own affairs."

Anyway, everyone is here.

The members of the Sun family have already spoken up. This matter has nothing to do with him. Sun Shangxiang can stay as long as he wants.

It is impossible for Xi Yu to persuade him, even if he dies.

"But she and I are still sisters after all, and you see, this grand-sister who left her hometown and came here must also be homesick. If she is here, she will not feel at home, and she will miss her. Instead, I am the big one. If I leave someone else's tongue, it will not be worth the loss."

Gan Mei is indeed a very generous person, she knows what to say and how to persuade, she never blames Sun Shangxiang for being coy, but just speaks for Sun Shangxiang, she is worthy of being a lady.

"What other people say is their business. As long as I know that you are not that kind of person, why bother with them? Those people can't stop their mouths. If you stop them once or twice, they will talk behind their backs, where you can't see them, so why bother with them?"

Xi Yu has never regarded this matter as a matter, or he doesn't care what others say at all. Besides, with his current status, no one can question it even if it comes to a literary prison.

But he didn't bother to do this, even if he suppressed other people's thoughts, he couldn't do anything.

After hearing these words, Gan Mei couldn't help but blushed, and her heart fluttered.

If Xi Yu could understand her in this way, it wouldn't be a waste of persuading her.

But she has always kept the matter of sister Sun in mind, and she has brought this matter up and down more than a dozen times after just drinking a cup of tea.

In the end, Xi Yu was almost bored, and she couldn't hold her back, so she had no choice but to agree.

"The more you drink this tea, the less flavorful it becomes. Why don't you play mahjong!"

"But it's getting late now, why don't you have a good talk with Sister Sun?"

Gan Mei didn't expect the topic to change so quickly, so she reacted immediately.

I wanted to persuade Sun Shangxiang, but I felt that Xi Yu was in a bad mood, so I didn't dare to continue talking for a while.

"It's not too late at all, this thing can be played for a day and a night."

Xi Yu thought for a while, then said again.

"But now 3 is missing 1, why don't you come with me and Cai Yan!"

When Gan Mei saw that Xi Yu was telling the truth, she immediately became interested.

The two came as soon as they said they came, and came to Sun Shangxiang's courtyard. There was a peach blossom tree in his courtyard, which was a good place to go.

"Right here."

Gan Mei took a look and planned to ask Sun Shangxiang to come out.

Not long after, Cai Yan came wearing a long robe, as if she wanted to make a killing.

The three of them were bored, so Gan Mei knocked on the door, asking Sun Shangxiang to come out.

Knocking on the door three times gave Sun Shangxiang enough face. For a lady who does this, it is considered to be giving her face.

Unexpectedly, Sun Shangxiang didn't respond at all.

At this time, Zheng Huan was playing mahjong outside, so it was impossible not to hear it inside. The only possibility was that Sun Shangxiang didn't want to respond at all.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am, my young lady has already fallen asleep, so I can't play mahjong with everyone."

A servant girl came out from inside, carefully laughing with everyone.

"Since she can't play cards, then you come."

Xi Yu's sudden remark startled the little girl. At this time, the young lady was away from home and needed company.

If he played cards with these noble ladies, the young lady would definitely be dissatisfied, and if the young lady was dissatisfied, she would definitely be beaten.

In addition, he didn't have much money in his pocket, if he lost all playing mahjong, it would be even worse.

But the one who spoke is the master here.

She didn't dare to say no or agree, so she just stood there deadlocked, and Gan Mei came to hold her hand.
