Chapter 50: Help Again

  At this sensitive time, the relevant intelligence about General He Jin is not from the people of the capital city, nor from the underground forces. So, it can only be from a certain border town warlord force?!

  Guo Jia's face turned white in an instant. Damn, he hadn't expected that his casual joke back then would almost ruin someone else's big deal. Would others really come to take revenge on him as Xun Yu had said?!

  In order not to make things bigger and attract unnecessary attention, Guo Jia did not plan to say his speculation out loud. However, as clever as Xun Yu was, he probably thought similarly to Guo Jia.

  The two exchanged a glance, and it was clear what they meant.

  "Alas." Xun Yu shook his head and sighed, "The storm is coming, but unfortunately the General's mind is already made up."

  As expected, Xun Yu and Guo Jia thought exactly alike.

  "Are you no longer going to persuade him?" Guo Jia asked.

  "It's come to this, making a fuss would be unseemly, and if we attract the attention of those people, it could lead to big trouble." Xun Yu said, "those people" naturally referred to the Ten Attendants.

  Indeed, if the Ten Eunuchs had not known that He Jin was going to eliminate them, if they had not designed to kill He Jin first, and if the eunuchs had not taken the Emperor out of the city, then even though Yuan Shao's suggestion was not perfect, it would not have allowed Dong Zhuo to gain such a great advantage.

  So the debate that day also unfolded in the form of a dinner party, and to outsiders it was just an ordinary internal gathering. Moreover, since then, including Chen Lin who led the way, no one has argued about this issue again. It's just that they don't want to make things big and attract the attention of the Ten Servants.

  But with so many people knowing about it, there must be traitors among them. Otherwise, how could the ten eunuchs in history have turned against their masters first?

  It's just that the clear stream doesn't deign to mingle with the turbid flow, so among all these informed people, Cao Cao, who is most likely to be suspected, can definitely not be a traitor. Then who exactly leaked the information to the Ten Eunuchs? Could it be that someone got drunk and spilled the beans?

  "Alright, things have been inferred as much as they can be. I shouldn't be needed anymore from now on." Guo Jia finally spoke up and said.

  "Thanks to you, Xun Yu, I wouldn't have figured out the situation so quickly otherwise." Xun Yu thanked him and asked, "By the way, do you need me to send someone to protect you?"

  Guo Jia thought for a moment and then shook his head.

  "No need, at this time they can't afford to have any extra trouble. Moreover, even if they wanted to cause trouble, I was just a small matter back then, and in some ways, I even helped him, how could he possibly take action against me because of this? On the contrary, it's you, Wen Ruo brother, if you keep investigating, you might end up in danger." Guo Jia reminded.

  "I will take care of my own safety," said Xun Yu, and it was clear that the straightforward him would not give up the investigation.

  "Then take care of yourself." Guo Jia bowed and said.

  "Take care."

  Guo Jia took Ming'er and left the government office like this.

  "Wow, I didn't expect things to be settled so quickly. I thought it would take a long time." Guo Jia stretched his waist.

  "Young master is so clever, it will be done soon." Ming Er rarely praised Guo Jia.

  "What shall we do next?" Guo Jia asked, these days because of the busy wedding, Cai Yong also didn't force Guo Jia to continue practicing calligraphy, for a while, Guo Jia actually couldn't find anything to pass the time.

  Alas, there are really too few entertaining things in ancient times. Want to find a beauty to talk about love, say something sweet, and have a cup of coffee? It's just a thought. Diao Chan is obviously not possible to summon, let alone Cai Yan, now that the two are engaged, they're not even allowed to meet before marriage! Can't go find this little maid by my side?!

  "A dinner party with Yuan Shao?" Ming'er guessed and said.

  "What a joke, I don't want to go and get my face slapped. He's a big shot after all." Guo Jia said in an ill-tempered tone, "I remember now! We have to go find Da Ge to help with the wedding!"

  At this point, Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh.

  "Ugh, another wedding, another wedding, another wedding. Marriage is a grave..."

  "Master! Can't you stop saying such unlucky words? This time it's your own wedding!" Ming'er exclaimed.

  "Do you think I'm a jinx? I don't have that kind of ability!" As soon as the words left his mouth, Guo Jia suddenly felt a little stunned. Lately, he seemed to be having some bad luck indeed. He couldn't help but change his tone and say

  "Even if I'm a jinx, this grave isn't mine anyway. Now that I've made things clear, marriage is mine, the grave belongs to others. Ah, marriage is a grave indeed..."

  Tomorrow, lower your head and remain silent.

  "Tomorrow is just a little maid, lowly and insignificant..."

  Suddenly startled, she hurriedly covered her mouth, but immediately reacted and realized that this wasn't something she had said. Tomorrow, Hong's face turned red as she glared at Guo Jia, who was smiling all over his face, and stomped her foot in shame and anger.

  "You're so annoying!"

  "Haha, what's this? Have I hit on your secret?" Guo Jia burst out laughing.

  "No way!" The little maid pouted and turned her head to the other side.

  ······

  "Filial piety! You've come just in time!"

  Guo Jia had just found Guo Tu, and Xiao P Ge was excited to welcome him, grabbing Guo Jia's hand and not letting go.

  "There's something very important to my brother, I beg of you to be filial and help me!"

  "Uh...". Guo Jia was speechless for a moment. Previously, Xun Yu had also asked him for help. When did he, Guo Jia, become so popular and busy?

  Fortunately, it is clear that Xun Yu's affairs are absolutely not what Xin Pi wants Guo Jia to help with.

  "What's the big deal? It's just a marriage. Can there be so many things involved?" Guo Jia turned his head to ask, this little brother is really changing every day.

  Xin Ping and Guo Tu walked up with a bitter smile, shaking their heads and saying,

  Miss Chen has arrived in Luoyang.

  "Miss Chen?" Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted, this Miss Chen is the wife that Xin Pi is about to marry.

  Miss Chen is also from Yingchuan, and the Chen family is a big surname in Yingchuan. In those years, Chen Shi, Zhong Hui, Xun Shu, and Han Shao were all known as "Yingchuan's Four Talents". Zhong Hui had a grandson named Zhong Yu, and Xun Shu had a grandson named Xun Yu.

  Although the Xie family is not a big surname in Yingchuan, the Xie brothers are considered to be of good family background. That's why younger brother Xie was able to marry Chen Shou's granddaughter, Miss Chen.

  Of course, in ancient times, there were still many descendants of the Sun family, and I don't know how many "Miss Chens" there were. In any case, this marriage was a great thing for Xin Pi!

  As the Xin family brothers are now settled in Luoyang, this is considered a long-distance marriage. It's not possible to wait until the wedding day to carry the sedan chair to Yingchuan and then bring the bride over.

  So the bride's family had to rush to Luoyang ahead of time, find a house to settle down, and on the day of the wedding, they only needed to welcome the groom within the city of Luoyang.

  "So?" Guo Jia asked aloud.

  "Please, Filial Piety, sneakily help me take a look at what's going on with Miss Chen!" Xin Bi requested directly. Although he had been persuaded that day, this kind of thing, to say it didn't matter, was fundamentally impossible!

  If it weren't for the rule that the couple couldn't meet before getting married, Xin Bi would have definitely gone to see him herself!
