Chapter 60 Set a Date

  Guo Jia secretly shook his head, risk? Xun Yu didn't know, but Guo Jia was very clear, there's a risk of being beheaded! Because all the risks are now on Guo Jia himself, it was he who betrayed General He Jin!

  If this matter is exposed in the end, it will definitely be Guo Jia who dies, and no one else will have any trouble. And if this matter is not exposed, the warlords are already gathering now, the eunuchs' downfall is a foregone conclusion, what risk can there be when death is inevitable?

  So this matter, at worst it will be a conclusion of eliminating eunuchs and having merit in serving the king; if luck is good, and operations are proper, then it will be a great success!

  It can be seen that the person behind this is not only ambitious but also very sinister.

  "Filial piety, what are your thoughts?" Xun Yu asked aloud.

  "No." Guo Jia shook his head in response.

  "It's probably just my imagination running wild, and things might not be as serious as we think," Xun Yu said. "After all, everyone knows that the border town forces have people stationed in Kyoto, it's not a rare thing. This guy was discovered and thrown into prison, he's already become a useless abandoned son. Maybe they thought he might know something, so they designed to sneak into the prison to ask him questions, but in the end, they found out that what he knew were all very ordinary things, with no gain at all, naturally they would just kill him and leave." Xun Yu speculated that this was probably just a small matter, nothing had happened, it was just a false alarm.

  "It's indeed possible." Guo Jia nodded and said.

  "Filial piety, don't you have any opinion?" Xun Yu asked again, unable to hold back.

  "No." Guo Jia shrugged his shoulders. "I've already said what I wanted to say that day, and I think Gong Da's analysis is very reasonable."

  "So it is."

  ······

  Afterwards, Guo Jia met with Xun Yu and then left. Then he didn't wander around outside anymore and went home directly.

  On the road, Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment before speaking up.

  "Master, have you guessed something?"

  "Oh? Why say that?" Guo Jia asked in surprise.

  "Because just now, you didn't seem like your usual self. If it were the usual you, you would have definitely said more than others and tried to show off even more. But today, you simply responded with two sentences, and everything was said by that Lord Xun Yu." Ming Er said directly.

  Guo Jia is just a person who loves to show off, even if he doesn't want to show off himself today, he absolutely won't allow others to steal the spotlight from him!

  After hearing Ming'er's words, Guo Jia's eyelid twitched. He had indeed overlooked this issue just now. Since Ming'er, a little girl, could notice it, Xun Yu probably also noticed it. It's just that Xun Yu didn't directly ask the question out loud.

  Guo Jia warned himself in his heart: This matter must be taken as a warning, this time Xun Yu is still not suspicious of him, but in the future, others may not be so easy to deal with.

  Guo Jia patted Ming'er's head and said,

  "There are indeed some ideas, but I haven't fully figured this thing out yet, and I think it's better not to say anything."

  "Oh." Ming'er simply responded with a single word and didn't ask any more questions.

  "By the way, about going to the palace today, don't mention it to anyone, and don't say where this money came from. Got it?" Guo Jia reminded.

  "I'll know tomorrow." The little maid nodded, of course she understood that the secret edict was very important and needed to be kept confidential.

  "Then later when you go back, don't forget to take your medicine."

  "Alright."

  After walking a few steps, Guo Jia suddenly spoke up again and asked,

  "Do you know when Aidan is on vacation?"

  "It's unclear." Ming Er shook her head, and she didn't think those soldiers had any normal vacation time either, usually just taking leave.

  "It seems that I'll have to go there in person again another day. Hopefully, I won't run into that annoying Yan Dahu." said Guo Jia.

  "Young master, we already have money now, do you still want more?" Ming Er asked curiously, thinking that Guo Jia had gone to find Guo Yuan for the sake of salary again.

  Guo Jia shook his head and said,

  "This time is another matter. However, his money still needs to be handed over. Even if I return all the money to him in the end, it's safer than him holding it himself. That foolish big guy, when can he ever make people feel at ease?"

  ······

  Another day, early in the morning, Cai Yong found Guo Jia

  "Filial piety, I studied it a bit yesterday, what do you think about setting the date for that day?"

  Guo Jia took a look and said, "Good fellow, isn't this just half a month later? This Cai Yong, even if he really wants to marry off his daughter, doesn't have to be in such a hurry. Is he afraid that delay will lead to changes?"

  Probably seeing Guo Jia's idea, Cai Yong added:

  "Although it seems a bit rushed, the next auspicious day will have to wait for a long time. This half-month period is also enough for you to notify some relatives and friends from Yingchuan and other places to come over."

  At this time, Ming Er walked in and gave Guo Jia a glance. Guo Jia knew that the flower sender had come again. To be honest, Guo Jia himself was also very clear that he was about to marry Cai Wenji soon, but every day he still went to send flowers to another girl. This thing was really not very decent, especially in front of Cai Yong, Guo Jia felt extremely embarrassed and hastily nodded in response.

  "Okay, I'll do as the teacher says."

  "Good." Cai Yong showed a hint of joy, "Now that the date is set, I need to make some preparations."

  "I'll also go to Tuguo's place to discuss things." Guo Jia said, taking Ming'er with him, and hastily left.

  Outside the door

  "Here." Guo Jia handed over the prepared wound medicine to the other party.

  "What is this?" The woman asked curiously.

  "Medicine, you're hurt and didn't say a word. At least we've met before," said Guo Jia.

  "It's just minor injuries, nothing serious. I can just pick some herbs from the mountain and apply them myself." The woman hastily waved her hand, wanting to return the medicine to Guo Jia.

  "You've already bought everything, just take it. Besides, you're going hunting and helping me pick flowers, where do you have the time to gather herbs?" Guo Jia said casually, he's a big shot now, not short of money.

  "Thank you, you're really a good person." The woman happily took the medicine.

  Guo Jia: "That, actually I..."

  Girl: "That, actually I..."

  The two of them suddenly spoke at the same time, and Guo Jia's mouth twitched. This ridiculous scene was actually happening to the two of them as well.

  "Ladies first, please go ahead." Guo Jia insisted on the principle of ladies first.

  "No, no, you first, you first." The woman hastily called out.

  Seeing this, Guo Jia was no longer polite, otherwise you would have pushed me back and forth, making a fuss until when?

  "Perhaps it's a bit embarrassing, but could I ask the young lady to help pick an extra flower every day?" Guo Jia said, he had just thought of it, since one was sent, two were also sent, why not send one to Cai Wenji at the same time every day? Otherwise, as his fiancée, Cai Yan would be a bit too miserable.
