Can I get to the other side?

It's hard to describe Liu Xie's current mood.

If I could sum it up in two words, then "confused" would be the most appropriate.

The name Guo Jia is naturally familiar to him. He is one of the most brilliant counselors in the Three Kingdoms and is known as a genius. Some people even think that Guo Jia is even better than Zhuge Liang, saying, "Unless Guo Jia dies, Crouching Dragon will not emerge." .

Although this is just the obscenity and nonsense of some historically illiterate people, it cannot be denied that in terms of intelligence alone, Guo Jia is indeed very outstanding. Even if he is not as good as Zhuge Liang, he is still at the T1 level.

But there's one thing...why is he here?

Liu Xie looked at Guo Jia, who was dressed in civilian clothes and looked very handsome, and his mind was full of questions.

He remembered this young man. He had just entered the palace and was among the crowd when Yuan Shao led his officials to greet him.

I just didn’t expect it to be Guo Jia!

But...shouldn't he be under Cao Cao?

"Wait a minute, it's the first year of Jian'an! After Xi Zhicai died of illness, Xun Yu recommended Guo Jia to Cao Cao, and at this time Guo Jia was still with Yuan Shao!"

Liu Xie reacted quickly.

He almost forgot about this!

Guo Jia didn't join Boss Cao from the beginning, but Yuan Shao was the first to join him. However, Yuan Shao had so many talents that Guo Jia was not reused. Finally, he joined Boss Cao under Xun Yu's recommendation!

"Is it really going to be caught by me?"

Liu Xie felt that his heartbeat was a little accelerated.

Guo Jia is a top counselor!

What he lacks most now is someone who can help him make suggestions!

We must find a way to deceive Guo Jia!

Although countless thoughts had passed through Liu Xie's mind, in fact only a few seconds had passed.

After he made up his mind, he immediately adjusted his mentality and looked up at the SSR in front of him... No, Guo Jia in front of him.

"It turns out to be Mr. Guo!"

Liu Xie dropped the fishing rod in his hand and stood up directly to hold Guo Jia's hand. The smile on his face couldn't be more enthusiastic.

“I’ve heard of you for a long time, and I’m honored to meet you today!”

"Come on, sir, please take a seat!"

Liu Xie let out the little horse where he was fishing, and forced Guo Jia to sit on it. Then he ordered the young eunuch beside him: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you go prepare some tea for me?"

"Ah? Yes! Your Majesty!"

The young eunuch quickly agreed and trotted away.

After Liu Xie finished this set of silky little combos, he stood next to Guo Jia and asked sincerely: "Sir, is this chair comfortable to sit on? Do you want to come with me to sit in the palace?" ?”

"..."

Guo Jia didn't speak. He glanced at his hand, which was still held by Liu Xie, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.

This method of winning people's hearts... is really clumsy.

Sighing slightly, Guo Jia withdrew his hand, then stood up and said seriously: "Your Majesty, this is not in line with the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers, I dare not accept it."

"All right……"

Liu Xie reluctantly took back his hand, feeling a little regretful.

His method was obviously very effective against Zhang He and Gao Lan, but it didn't work when it came to Guo Jia.

I am the emperor after all. I am so enthusiastic. How can you give me some reaction?

Sure enough, scholars are trouble.

Liu Xie complained in his heart, then continued to smile and asked: "Then don't force it. Speaking of which, sir, why did you come to see me today?"

There must be a reason why Guo Jia suddenly came to visit.

He was curious about what the other party's purpose was.

"It's nothing."

Guo Jia smiled and said casually: "Just a few days ago, after hearing the conversation between His Majesty and Commander Zhang in the pavilion, I had some questions in my mind and wanted to ask Your Majesty to clarify my doubts."

"I see."

Liu Xie suddenly realized that he was the one who came to ask questions.

By the way, what was he talking about with Zhang He in the pavilion a few days ago?

Wait...a gazebo?

Liu Xie's heart trembled suddenly, and he looked at Guo Jia with wide eyes.

Guo Jiazheng looked at him steadily, with an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

For a moment, Liu Xie felt his scalp numb.

Because he and Zhang He only chatted once in the pavilion.

And that time, he talked with Zhang He about his ideals, his plans, and... how to rebel against Yuan Shao.

"Don't panic! What he said may not necessarily be about what happened that day. If you panic now, it would look too suspicious!"

"Calm down, be sure to calm down!"

Liu Xie tried hard to calm down, but his slightly trembling body revealed his true mood.

He is afraid.

As a puppet and a fake emperor, he dares to use this identity to win over people's hearts. Once Yuan Shao finds out about this, he will definitely die!

He doesn't want to die!

"I, I don't seem to remember clearly. I wonder what you want to ask, sir?"

Liu Xie forced himself to calm down and asked with a dry smile.

Guo Jia: "I would like to ask Your Majesty, 'The country is the people, and the people are the country.' What do you mean by this sentence?"

The last trace of luck in Liu Xie's heart was directly shattered.

But by this time, he calmed down.

Liu Xie's hand hidden in his sleeve moved slightly and touched an iron object that exuded an icy coldness.

That's a dagger.

He asked Zhang He to find it for him.

Just for self-defense.

Liu Xie held the dagger and looked up at Guo Jia again.

He was thinking about the success rate of doing it now.

He was wondering if anyone other than Guo Jia knew this secret, and if he was killed, could this secret be kept secret?

Guo Jia didn't seem to realize the impending danger, but just looked at Liu Xie calmly, waiting for his answer.

At this moment, even time seemed to stand still.

But soon a sound of footsteps came, breaking the silence between the two.

"Your Majesty! The tea is ready... Hey?"

The eunuch trotted over with a tray of tea.

But when he saw Liu Xie and Guo Jia standing still and looking at each other, he was stunned.

Your Majesty and this gentleman... what are they doing?

Liu Xie stared at Guo Jia for a long time, and finally let go of the dagger hidden in his sleeve, sat casually on the small stool, and said lightly: "Mr. Guo, drink tea first."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Guo Jia smiled slightly and found a stone to sit on.

Although the eunuch was a little confused, he still put down the tray and poured tea for Liu Xie and Guo Jia.

"Okay, go down first, this is none of your business."

After the eunuch finished pouring the tea, Liu Xie waved him away, then sipped the tea in his cup, picked up the fishing rod and continued fishing.

He completely ignored Guo Jia who was standing by.

And Guo Jia didn't say anything, just watching Liu Xie fishing.

After a long time, Liu Xie finally lost his temper and said in a deep voice: "Did Yuan Shao send you here?"

He decided to confront Guo Jia directly!
