Yan Qing's quick eyes and hands caught the little one being thrown by his own father squarely, but he was also scared out of his wits.

Embracing Tooth, who was still unaware of the dangers he had experienced and was feeling excited and giggly, Yan Qing said angrily, "A man who is already in his twenties and has become a father early on, it's just a matter of having no decency at all, but how can you treat a child in such a light and uncaring manner? If I hadn't caught it just now, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

Guo Jia lazily said, "Isn't his own mother catching quite steadily, needing me to blindly worry about what?"

Without saying a word, Yan Qing lifted up and kicked, precisely moving the hu chair under Guo Jia's buttocks, "Net in nonsense, give me a proper talk!"

Guo Jia was on guard and got up in time to avoid it, sniffing and reaching out to pick it up, "Give it to you to play and still so much whining, then give it back to me!"

Yan Qing, however, did not let go and threatened, "If you keep fooling around with your teeth like that, I won't give it back to you."

Guo Jia skimmed his mouth, "If you can change a better one out for me, it wouldn't hurt to send you this little thing that eats out of the house every day."

Guo Yi clutched at Yan Qing's lapel in confusion, but after hearing this, he slowly turned his head back and cocked his head to look at Guo Jia.

Yan Qing hurriedly patted his fleshy back soothingly while giving Guo Jia a fierce glare.

To Guo Yi's age, clearly want to understand are difficult, but precisely at this time in the direction of Guo Jia poof a mouthful of crystal bright salivation across the fly, but also put out a with his father as if a mold carved out of the dislike of the face to.

Guo Jia was not remorseful in the slightest and grunted, "Ungrateful son!"

The corners of Yan Qing's mouth twitched, he wasn't so worried about the issue of his misguided son now, after all, telling Guo Yi to keep following this wannabe father without any boundaries was what was called a worrying future.

Upon hearing this, Yan Qing smiled hypocritically, "Thank you Feng Xiao for thinking so highly of me, it's just that your eyes are so picky that you're not even satisfied with such a lovely tooth, what kind of one do you really want?"

Guo Jia, however, took his words seriously and said excitedly, "Can you really get it?"

Yan Qing raised his eyebrows noncommittally, "You tell me first."

Guo Jia opened his mouth: "Jia's requirements can not be called harsh, you have to be that beautiful to see a fairy is not vulgar appearance, and then have Jia this smart and intelligent--"

At this brazen delusion, Yan Qing could not restrain a sneer and added, "It would be best to also have the Lord's strong physique, superb martial arts, and then Wen He's low-profile and smoothness, good at self-preservation, right?"

Guo Jia nodded happily and said, "This is very good, but will it be too difficult for Shiguang?"

"...... "Yan Qing really didn't have eyes to see him, lowered his head, looked at the unusually well-behaved Guo Yi, and said squarely: "Tooth, in the future, you will take my surname Yan, and change your name to Yan Yi, how about it?"

It's actually a pretty good new name.

Yan Qing in the end did not leave the Guo family's only seedling, and when the business discussion is over, spare no fuss Guo Yi again โ–กโ–ก resistance, but also by that look weak, in fact, greatly improved the physique of Guo Jia clamped in the crook of the arm, three steps a stop forcibly taken away.

Yan Qing only pretended that he didn't see the strained look Guo Jia showed as he held a fat baby hostage.

Before he left, Guo Jia at least said something to make Yan Qing feel better: "Chongguang does not need to worry too much about his fame. The Lord is now in a position of great power and authority, and the lords are so afraid of him that they can only label him as a deceitful martial artist. And will not let this equal to their unfavorable rumors prevail?"

Guo Jia made it quite clear, and Yan Qing realized it instantly: if the people believed that Lu Bu's most relied on military counselor was a heavenly immortal who came down from the heavens to assist him in achieving a hegemony, wouldn't Lu Bu become a wise and powerful new master who was truly authorized by the heavens?

Even the lords who had received first-hand information from the scouts, even if they were told to come and see for themselves, they would not necessarily believe that Yan Qingzhen had any miraculous features - both unwillingly and unable to allow it.

Probably more inclined to take this as Lu Bu deliberately for usurpation of power and seize the throne to create momentum, deliberately spread a big lie, had to pinch the nose while suppressing such rumors, while his mind secretly scolded.

In this way, it was exactly what Yan Qing wanted.

After all, it was still a long time before the time was ripe for Lu Bu to claim the title of emperor, and even though the prestige was there, the troops and horses were there, and the food and provisions were there, the hearts and minds of the people were still insufficient.

There is an old saying that is quite reasonable: accumulate grain widely, claim the king slowly. Rather than hurrying early in the morning and enduring dangers that don't match vanity and gain, it's better to wait until the four seas are flattened and the territory is incorporated into the hands, then take the position when the water comes to the right place.

It was the minds of the subjects under his command that worried Yan Qing more than the eyeing enemies outside.

The idea of loyalty to the king and the country is really incredibly deep-rooted in some of the scholars.

For example, Xun Yu, who was loyal to Cao Cao, planning and strategizing for him, and who was praised by Cao Cao as his own son, did not hesitate to say the famous phrase "upholding the sincerity of loyalty and chastity, and guarding the truth of concessions" when he saw that his lord wanted to be promoted to the rank of Duke of State, and to be conferred the title of Nine Sections of the Crown, and resolutely voted against the motion, and was forced to die of poison (or, as one puts it, of apprehension). The first is that he was forced to take poison and died (some say that it was due to anxiety).

It's not like there isn't this kind of near-touch-or-blow existence under Lu Bu's command - like Xu Shu.

Even if Xu Shu knows that the Son of Heaven is incompetent, and has accepted well and assisted with understanding towards Yan Qing's use of means to reckon with the Han Dynasty to make a living for his own power and the people, it doesn't mean that he can calmly approve of Lv Bu going to take over and truly change the dynasty.

Although Yan Qing has hidden in his hand a sword that can call the reputation of Liu Xie as the son of heaven, by the public opinion of the execution of the sword, in the foundation is completely solid, before the end of the trouble, he is by no means intended to use easily.

It will save Lu Bu, who is obedient to him, from being pushed onto a path of no return that is destined to end in death without a burial place.

Calm and steady.

Yan Qing silently admonished himself, the more the momentum is just right, the more stable and steady, step by step, so as to prevent the enemy carelessness, leading to the loss of success.

"Shigemitsu?"

A slightly nasal voice rang in his ears, also calling Yan Qing back to his senses.

After the evening meal, Guo Jia excused himself early on the grounds that Guo Yi wanted to go to bed early.

Although Yan Qing suspected that he went back so early, I'm afraid that it is not for Guo Yi, but ready to go where to fool around, but remembered that Lu Bu is also coming back from the barracks soon, so as not to let someone overthrow the jar of vinegar, but did not raise any objections.

Even if Lu Bu's account is already full of talents, there are countless good seedlings in the schoolhouse waiting to be harvested, or habit, but also may be related to the personal relationship between the two people, Yan Qing can not help but treat Guo Jia as if he were the apple of his eye, generally love and care.

At this moment, as usual, he personally sent this large and small to the entrance of the residence, watched them on the carriage, suddenly remembered Guo Jia before in the study said this sentence, accidentally ran for a moment, was poisonous Guo Jia to catch the right.

In fact, even though he had already turned a thousand thoughts in his mind, it was just a flash of lightning.

The wind outside has stopped, but the snow is still falling quietly. Yan Qing thought that this is just a moment of work, lazy umbrella out, the result is only stood for a short while, there are already fine snowflakes fell on the long and dense eyelashes, cold feeling silk penetration, so that he could not help but blink, will be shaken off.

Yan Qing gave a soft hmmm, then frowned and couldn't help but heckle, "Why don't you put the curtain down and wait for the cold wind to pour in so you can catch a chill? Even if you've got thick skin, you still have to think for Tooth."

Guo Jia shrugged and said perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, yes."

The owner of this pair of flirtatious and amorous fox eyes, his neck was still wrapped with the fox fur scarf that Yan Qing ordered his maidservant to sew for him, and it was only because of this beautiful system that his bit of complaint that this was not majestic enough was stifled to nothing.

Seeing that the carriage was slowly starting, the ice frozen on the ground by the wheels creaking and breaking under the drag of the horse, Guo Jia suddenly laughed softly and asked in a low voice, "Jingzhou that, what can Chong Guang plan?"

Yan Qing smiled faintly and said calmly, "Of course it's waiting."

Just like with Xuzhou, leave it unattended and wait for the ambitious lords to scatter their hands and their wimpy heirs to surrender without a fight.

Since he can still foresee that, why not take advantage of it?

Why go through the trouble and time of taking something that you can wait for a rabbit and wait for it to come to you, just to have it in your hands that much earlier?

Allow the development, the real threatening forces are all in the Hebei area, the early pacification of these is the right thing to do.

What Yan Qing didn't know was that he no longer needed to hide the subtleties of his body, and when he showed it generously, his original temperament, which was as gentle as water, added a lot of intimidating power to his words, even if they were uttered with a smile on his brow, they also exuded a boldness that made people feel incredibly convinced.

Guo Jia fixedly looked at his best friend who was like two people for a moment, his mind moved slightly, and suddenly laughed out, "Good."

He, who had been worried that Lu Bu's aversion to newness and thinness of grace would flare up again and be unfavorable to Yan Qing, was finally able to put his heart at ease.

Not knowing these thoughts of Guo Jia's, after watching his carriage leave, Yan Qing finally took the umbrella that the butler, who thoroughly regarded him as a god, helped to hold open with awe, and smiled as he hefted a breath, "Don't go in yet."

"Yes."

In the past, the housekeeper would still have the courage to persuade a sentence, but now it is absolute obedience, do not dare to ask half a word more.

Yan Qing didn't notice the subtle change in the surrounding people's curiosity, but only pulled the furry scarf a little tighter, telling the temperature not to lose too much speed.

Since people are out, why don't we just stand here and wait for Lu Bu to get off work?

Did not wait long, the red rabbit's very recognizable "Deer Deer" hoof beats came from far away from the end of the alleyway, a tall and magnificent figure, also gradually approaching.

Obviously, it is the outline that you are accustomed to seeing, but by this diffuse pure white rendered a few more years of quiet flavor.

Yan Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but smile as he greeted, "My Lord!"

Never thought that his family's most afraid of the cold priest would wait for his return at the door, originally riding steadily on the back of the horse, Lu Bu, after hearing Yan Qing's voice, suffered from a big surprise, nearly stumbled and planted off the horse.

Immediately, he didn't even need to clip the horse's belly to urge, the red rabbit that also heard that call was completely excited, changing its leisurely pacing state and starting to spread its hooves to run wildly.

Seeing the red rabbit running happily with a humming and puffing, splashing the snow on the ground, Yan Qing smiled, but did not panic, before it was about to approach and Lu Bu stopped, he lightly flicked the "flash" sign.

The subordinates who were standing in the front yard and had been peeking at him, if at all, only felt that there was a sudden blur in front of their eyes, and that Yan Dahonglu, whose hair had not even been messed up, was already standing peacefully on the side that would not be affected by the snow and water.

Red Rabbit was completely dumbfounded, Lu Bu could not help but be stunned for a moment, but Yan Qing was in an extremely good mood.

It's great to be able to use the cards whenever and wherever you need to, without having to avoid others or worry about drawing attention to yourself at all.

It is not that Yan Qing is too bored or has become incredibly high-profile, even avoiding the horse has to show off before he can feel comfortable. Rather, it is because he used up the five grains in front of Zuo Ci, in order to solve the problem of food and grass in the army, he has to brush up a new one to do so.

"Kill", "take the sheep by the hand", "cross the river to break the bridge", "red rabbit", "Joyless" ...... These are all still good, just find a random target and use it.

If you kill it, you can also use it against a stake.

In addition to Peach, which can't be used unless you're injured or dying, there are passive cards like Flash, which always get stuck in your hand.

With Yan Qing's lightness and speed, other than making 'disassociation' to consume it, it could not be used easily - if it was a military general, it could still go to the drill ground for drills, and under normal circumstances, who would have eaten a bear's heart and leopard's guts to dare to make any killing moves against this pivotal in the world, and also look at the literate and courteous Who would have the guts to make a killing move against this important and refined man in the world?

Soft yellow lamp light sprinkled on the jade carved beauty, lined with that smile and will be glowing like bright and dazzling, directly called Lu Bu look at the hand itching, in the end did not hold back the ape, directly on the back of the horse a stoop, easy to fish, will be carried to the back of the horse Yan Qing.

This string of actions was like a flowing stream, Yan Qing didn't even react before he was moved onto the back of his horse, and immediately after, he saw Lu Bu tell the Red Rabbit to turn around and instead of entering the mansion, he ran outside again.
