The Ma family's imperial examination officially began, and the entire Fufeng County seemed to be in an uproar with joy and uproar. In the streets and alleys, everyone talks about the imperial examination that they don't know much about. And if there is a reference scholar in the family, it is even more of an opinion leader who is talking about it, as if he has personally experienced it.

Ma Chao is very satisfied with this expected situation. But Jia Xu, who was far away in Shaanxi County, although he didn't know about the imperial examination, he was still very satisfied. It's just that Niu Fu is not as calm as Jia Xu, and after he walked back and forth twice, he couldn't help but say: "Military advisor, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, although you stabilized the morale of the army some time ago, but these days, the military food is becoming scarce day by day, and many soldiers have defected....... Li Dao, Guo Yan and others raised the intention of returning to the imperial court. Strategist, you ......."

Niu Fu said, but Jia Xu just sat still, as if he was a clay sculpture and wood carving. And Niu Fu saw that he was persuaded not to move Jia Xu, and sighed twice, stomping his feet non-stop.

In a moment, the tent door seemed to be swept by the wind, blowing a crack. Niu Fu didn't even bother to check, but when he suddenly looked back, he found that one person had already entered the account. Niu Fu couldn't help but be shocked, and when he looked closely, he found that it was Jia Xu's escort captain Wu Si who came in with two people.

"How?" At this time, Jia Xu seemed to have just come to life, raised his settled eyes, and glanced behind Us.

Only then did the two men behind Uss take off their tasseled helmets and reveal their true faces. Niu Fu couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw this, because these two people, although they were wearing the costumes of the Roman legion of Usna, were too raw. However, these two people didn't mind Niu Fu's gaze at all, and one of them reported directly to Jia Xu: "Military advisor, after the grain and grass are purchased, you can go to Shaanxi County tomorrow." ”

After this person finished speaking, the other person bowed down again and said: "As expected, the subordinates from Xun Shilang really received the holy decree issued by the imperial court to dissolve Dong Zhuo's old department, presumably tomorrow, they can be sent to Shaanxi County." ”

Niu Fu heard it in a fog, and he didn't know what the two were talking about. After listening to the reports of these two people, Jia Xu showed a satisfied smile, nodded and said, "Very good." Yuanfeng, if you pay more attention to the dynamics in that area recently, it is expected that after this winter, what kind of scale will develop there, and report at any time; Qin Shou, you can go back to Fufeng to recover your life......."

"However, military advisor, the current situation is calm, it is the time for his subordinates to pay close attention to the dynamics of the imperial court, why do you ......." Qin Shou saw that Mu Yuanfeng actually wanted to stay here to continue to pay attention, but he wanted to go back to Fufeng to stand by, he couldn't help but feel a little unwilling, and couldn't help but ask.

And Jia Xu may be in a good mood, glanced at Qin Shou, and said leisurely: "Yes, the past few days have indeed been calm." And in the days that followed, it was also calm, but once the wind and clouds surged, it was as fast as fire, thunder and lightning, and you stayed in Chang'an, and it was too late to pass on the information......" Jia Xu said this, actually smiled, and continued: "Don't worry about going back, Fufeng there, there will be no shortage of tasks, the imperial examination, the princess of Wannian, the princes of the Ma family, and the small actions of the imperial court on the Ma family, will not let you show your strength." ”

Although Qin Shou didn't have much time to contact Jia Xu, he was very convinced of Jia Xu. Although he didn't fully understand what Jia Xu meant, he simply bowed down and retired. And after Mu Yuanfeng heard Jia Xu say the words 'Princess Wannian' in his mouth, he couldn't help but have some emotion in his eyes, but when he saw Jia Xu looking at him intentionally or unintentionally, he immediately hid his emotions well.

"Yuanfeng, have you ever blamed the lord?" Jia Xu saw that Mu Yuanfeng also wanted to bow down and retreat, but before him, he said: "Don't hide it from me, the old man knows the things of men and women best." You have been lurking by Liu Yue's side for a long time, and after you came back, you were a little distracted. Especially after learning that Liu Yue was going to marry into Fufeng, he took the initiative to invite Ying to serve here, and the lord actually agreed to your request....... From this point of view, the lord must be a little uneasy about you, and you are even more uneasy about yourself. ”

When Mu Yuanfeng heard this, his face changed. In the end, he was capable but still pure-hearted, took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Jia Xu and said: "This is a letter that Liu Yue took the opportunity to send to his subordinates when he sent his entourage after marrying into the Ma family. ”

Jia Xu didn't answer the letter, but after hearing Mu Yuanfeng's words, his eyes flashed, and he asked Mu Yuanfeng with a hint of a low voice: "Liu Yue knows that you are active in Shaanxi County and Luoyang?" ”

"No, no, no......." Mu Yuanfeng hurriedly denied it, and his face suddenly became a little unnatural. But after stabilizing his mind immediately, he still told the truth: "This letter was brought by Miss Duanmu Ruoyu on my behalf, and Miss Duanmu Ruoyu obtained it from Baihualou after I informed her of the contact information. ”

"Contact? Are you saying that you and Liu Yue still have a unique contact method that others don't know? After Jia Xu heard this, he smiled unnaturally. But after laughing, his face gradually became solemn, and he said, "I won't read this letter." But you can almost guess the content of it, among them, it should be Liu Yue confiding in you about the pain of lovesickness, right? ”

Mu Yuanfeng abruptly withdrew some of the letters that had already been handed out, but then stopped in mid-air and did not move. After glancing at Usuke and Uth, they were silent. And Niu Fu gradually heard some of the smells at this time, and muttered, "Okay, I'll go out." I really didn't expect that in my big tent, I would become the most ignorant and obstructive person......."

"Strategist, you say, what should I do? The lord promised me that he could let me ....... with the princess" After Niu Fu and Wu Si left, Mu Yuanfeng acquiesced to Jia Xu's questioning, and at the same time, he was a little eager to tell Jia Xu about his ambivalence.

But Jia Xu didn't answer a little, he closed his eyes, and said with a little caution: "Liu Yue is using you, and you know it in your heart." The reason why you can't let go is because you still have illusions. And the day you become disillusioned, you will find that you have fallen into a love network that you can't extricate yourself from, and the more you struggle, the deeper you will fall. The final result may be difficult for even you to predict. Therefore, one thing hurts people the most, and it also misleads people the most. ”

After Mu Yuanfeng heard this, he was silent. He thought of Liu Yue, who was still innocent with a girl, and his miserable and resolute expression when he saw his night clothes. also thought that now Liu Yue can put down his pride for the sake of the Han family, and take the initiative to write such an affectionate letter to a person like himself who can be said to be able to obtain the secrets of the Ma family, but is not brilliant in other aspects - Mu Yuanfeng knows that Liu Yue has changed, and she is no longer the chivalrous woman who ran the horse and served the rivers and lakes at the beginning.

After a long time, he took the burning candle and placed the letter on top of the leaping flame. With a sad but determined face, he watched as the letter was licked and sucked by the flames, and turned into a cloud of ashes. Finally, he thanked Jia Xu and said, "Thank you for the busy schedule, and I haven't worried about this matter." Although Yuanfeng is not talented, he is not a person who is greedy for beauty, Liu Yue's matter, Yuanfeng has already made up his mind in his heart........"

Jia Xu smiled again, looking at Mu Yuanfeng's sad expression, he couldn't help but break through Mu Yuanfeng's psychology and said, "If you don't burn that letter, I may really think that you have let go of Liu Yue in your heart." And the way you want to completely cut off makes me see the dead silence in your heart. However, I have a word for you, and it is up to you whether you listen or not. ”

"Strategist, please." Mu Yuanfeng was stunned for a moment, and said more respectfully.

"Two feelings are happy, and it is a great good. Wishful thinking will only hurt others and mislead oneself. Jia Xu said, and suddenly felt that he was explaining love at his age, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny, shook his head and continued: "Don't worry, the lord marrying Liu Yue is just an expedient measure." And when this is over, the Ma family will no longer need to rely on the prestige of the royal family. And the lord agreed to let you come here to serve, perhaps because he was worried that you would be confused by Liu Yue during this period. ”

"My subordinates understand, and once again I sincerely thank the military advisor for his guidance." Mu Yuanfeng respectfully saluted Jia Xu, and after getting up, his eyes were clear. immediately retreated and left, and when he left, Jia Xu said again: "Remember, I told you another thing before, and I will start arranging actions tomorrow." ”

After Mu Yuanfeng heard this, he paused for a moment, turned his head and bowed to receive the order, and then he really left the big tent.

And Jia Xu raised his eyes and glanced at the sporadic moonlight under the moon in the camp tent outside, then closed his eyes again, sighed and said, "Tomorrow, it will be another day of hard work!" .......”
