Chapter 63: The Second Imperial Palace Visit

  "Big brother, why have you come to find me again? I'm in the middle of training." Before long, Guo Yuan ran out with a big sweat on his head. Not having seen him for several days, it seemed like his skin had also gotten darker.

  "Stop, don't come any closer, you reek of sweat." Guo Jia hastily stopped Guo Yuan, he could clearly remember that this kid would hug him and cry when his emotions were stirred up.

  "Oh, big brother, what's the matter? Hurry up and say it, I still have to rush back." Guo Yuan scratched his head, "Right, my salary hasn't been paid yet, they said it'll be at the end of the month."

  "Money, money, money! Do you think I, your elder brother, can't even come to visit you without it being about money?! Guo Jia retorted ill-temperedly. If he had known earlier, he would have taken out the golden ingot from home and dazzled this kid's eyes with it."

  "Oh, big brother, I'm fine, and I also like it here." Guo Yuan said, hastily adding, "Big brother, I won't be a deserter." It's clear that this kid is still worried that Guo Jia will send him away.

  "I know, I know, I won't force you. This time I came, there are two things I want to talk to you about." Guo Jia turned to the main topic.

  "What's wrong?" Guo Yuan asked.

  "Firstly, I'm getting married, the date is set for... Ahh!" Before Guo Jia could finish speaking, Yuan Zi had already pounced on him, covering him in mud and sweat.

  It turns out that this distance is not a safe distance at all. The reason why Guo Jia didn't tell Guo Yuan about the news early on was because he was afraid that this kid would get too excited. Guo Jia thought to himself, in the future if he needs to discuss something with Guo Yuan again, should he tie him up first?!

  After a long time, Guo Jia finally calmed down Yuanzi and briefly told her about marrying Cai Wenji.

  "Brother, when the time comes, I'll definitely take leave to help out! Is sister-in-law pretty?" Guo Yuan asked with a smile, he had never seen Cai Yan before.

  "Nonsense, otherwise how can you match up to your elder brother. Remember to dress properly at that time." Guo Jia patted Yuanzi's chest, now his clothes were also ruined, he could completely let go and not be afraid of Yuanzi this mud man.

  "I know," Guo Yuan replied, "At that time, I..."

  "Alright, alright, I'll get to the second thing. Aren't you in a hurry to get back for training?" Guo Jia interrupted, not wanting to listen to this kid's nonsense.

  "Ah, I'm so happy I almost forgot! Big brother, you speak quickly!" Guo Yuan suddenly reacted.

  "This is the second thing, it's a secret, I've received news that before long, you will be able to enter the palace and eliminate the eunuchs, ridding the country of evil." Guo Jia said in a low voice.

  "Great! I finally have a chance to get promoted!" Guo exclaimed excitedly.

  "Idiot! Speak softly." Guo Jia hastily called out.

  "Oh."

  "I'm telling you, when the time comes, you rush into the palace and remember to behead a eunuch named Zhang Rang directly for me." Guo Jia instructed in Guo Yuan's ear. This Zhang Rang was absolutely going to be killed by the rioting soldiers, if he were captured alive, then Guo Jia would not have a good ending either.

  Guo Jia knew that at the time, generals like Yuan Shao would definitely be in the back, so it was best for the soldiers in front to thoroughly eliminate all the eunuchs, and only then could Guo Jia completely put his mind at ease.

  "Big brother, does this Zhang Ran have a grudge against you?" Guo Yuan couldn't help but ask.

  "Fool, I'm teaching you a chance to rise through the ranks and get rich! This Zhang Rang is the leader of the eunuchs, even if you kill all the other small eunuchs, it's not as good as killing just him! If you can really cut off his head, I'll guarantee your promotion by three levels!" Guo Jia said.

  "Really?!" Guo Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

  "Of course, big brother, have I ever deceived you?" Guo Jia patted Guo Yuan's shoulder and said.

  "But big brother, I don't know what Zhang Ran looks like." Guo Yuan suddenly said anxiously.

  "You just remember, none of the eunuchs who have reached old age will be spared, specializing in killing these old eunuchs, and finally they will definitely make a big profit!" Guo Jia replied.

  "I understand." Guo Yuan nodded.

  "By the way, you can't tell anyone about this, including your comrades and superiors." Guo Jia reminded.

  Guo Yuan showed his standard silly smile.

  "I know, if I tell them, they'll snatch it from me."

  "Well done, you have a promising future." Guo Jia patted Guo Yuan on the back to praise him. At such a young age, he already knew the benefits of taking heads.

  "It's all thanks to the great masters' teachings!"

  "......" Guo Jia was speechless for a moment, can't you come up with a different ending every time?

  ······

  A few days have passed and everything is going on in an orderly manner.

  These days, it seems like there are many things to do, yet also very idle. Every day, another flower blooms. Guo Jia asks Ming Er to send them to Cai Yan tomorrow. It's enough to make that future daughter-in-law laugh all day long, and she even composed a new tune.

  According to Ming Er, the first time he sent flowers over, Miss Cai was so moved that she burst into tears. This made Guo Jia Zhi sigh and say, "The ancients' requirements are really low."

  Although they couldn't meet in person, from time to time, Cai Wenji would communicate with Guo Jia through the sound of the guqin, and this "arranged marriage" finally had a somewhat romantic feel to it.

  Unfortunately, there was no progress on Diao Chan's side at all.

  With a heart to plant flowers, the flowers do not bloom. Without a mind to plant willows, the willows grow into shade. Guo Jia is now really getting anxious, if he waits for Lü Bu to arrive, will he still have an opportunity? But now Guo Jia can't think of any other way either. Robbery is out of the question, and formally proposing marriage is even more impossible. Guo Jia's most basic goal at present is to at least be able to deceive Diao Chan into coming out, so that when the time comes, he can forcibly abduct her!

  And so on this day,

  Guo Jia thought to himself, should he go take a look at Chen Qun's situation. If nothing was wrong, then he would have to lead people to find a place. Just as he was walking on the road, another horse carriage stopped beside Guo Jia.

  This time, Guo Jia didn't wonder who was looking for him, because they were somewhat familiar with each other.

  It's still those two people, and it's still a carriage with sealed windows. After so many days, what does Zhang Rang want from me again? Is he planning to make a move on He Jin? But whether or not he makes a move has nothing to do with me.

  With doubts, Guo Jia got on the carriage again, and of course, he didn't dare not to.

  On the carriage

  "Master, is His Majesty looking for you again?" Ming'er asked, this time she was obviously no longer as afraid.

  "Shh!" Guo Jia put his finger on his lips.

  Tomorrow suddenly closed his mouth and did not speak, in her opinion, Guo Jia must have done something secretly outside according to the instructions, this time it was going to reply to the last secret order.

  After a while, the carriage drove into the palace and stopped.

  Tomorrow, Xiaoyao will still have to wait in the carriage. Before getting off the horse, Guo Jia turned back and said,

  "Tomorrow, this time can't again..."

  "Master!!" The little girl suddenly let out a shrill cry, this master was simply too hateful, always loving to play such jokes!

  "Haha, alright, I'm going down." Guo Jia laughed loudly and got off the horse carriage.

  "Silence." The driver couldn't help but remind him.

  These two guys, last time they came, didn't even dare to breathe loudly, but this time they're acting like they're on a sightseeing tour. Don't they feel the pressure every time they enter the palace? What do they think this place is?!
