168

After ordering this letter to be delivered, Yan Qing washed and dressed, and after having his meal, he headed for the Council Chamber.

The hall but only remaining Guo Jia one, it seems that the Jia Deng Chen Gong Liu Ye and other staff, actually can not hold back the reserve, to go to the schoolhouse near to see that the imperial examinations brought unprecedented bustle to go.

I'm afraid that the atmosphere was much more cheerful than when we welcomed the Emperor's grand chariot into Xu.

Guo Jia was lying on his side on the soft collapse, and didn't read any official documents properly, instead he supported one hand behind his ear, while the other hand elegantly shook the fan, and when he saw that Yan Qing had come, he suddenly smiled wryly.

He also glanced at Yan Qing's waist and buttocks a few times before teasing, "It's rare for Chong Guang to sleep until the sun rises, I'm afraid he was exhausted last night."

Yan Qing calmly lifted his robe and sat down, not picking up on his move, "Feng Xiao is joking."

Guo Jia smiled even more, put down the folding fan, do not continue to flirt with him, only will be in hand a letter thrown over: "Liu table party just sent envoys to send."

"Liu Biao?" Yan Qing was a bit curious, taking over the demolition once and thinking, it couldn't be that after he had just informed Ma Zhong of the change of target, Liu Biao sent himself to his door.

I can't believe it's really happening.

Liu watch although on the surface is playing the name of seeking to see the saint, personally pay tribute to the name of wanting to come to Xu city, this word between the lines, but also more or less revealed to be with Lu Bu potential goodwill intention, but both Yan Qing or Guo Jia, are not likely to believe that he put on the surface of the reason.

Yan Qing looked at Guo Jia, "Could it be that you're not here for the imperial examinations?"

Guo Jia nodded his head affirmatively, "After Shiguang publicized this news widely, there is Zi who will publicize this on the Moon Festival Review in front of him, and there is Cai Zhonglang who vigorously promotes it in the back, I don't know how many Jingliang celebrities have come here in admiration, just to have a try."

"Liu Biao likes to open the scriptures and establish a school, for one of the eight Gu, good Da Yi, see the loss of local students, in Xu Cheng, such as a place of literary style and now such an event, will not be indifferent?"

Yan Qing sighed, "Worthy of being the fierce warrior who rode single-handedly into Jing in the first place."

Only with five hundred soldiers dare to come, do not worry about being torn by them, directly captured and killed, called Jingzhou chaos.

However, Lu Bu's development momentum is so good, and ultimately is rushing to the supreme position to go, will have to cherish the reputation, unless the two states formally war, otherwise no reason to kill in the literary world is quite prestigious, but also have to pay tribute to the court, has not failed to Liu Biao, will have to incur the scorn of the scholarly community.

Liu Biao is generous, the fact that he wants to come is spread out in the open, so that the whole world is aware of it, which in turn makes it hard for them to do anything about it.

Guo Jia laughed and said, "The table may be afraid, Chong Guang style is too illuminating, or will be fascinated by you Jing Xiang talents are recruited to the banner, and from now on happy to stay in the Yuzhou, so that no one can use him."

Yan Qing also laughed, "I'm afraid that not only that, but my first cousin is also worried about whether I will forcefully detain the candidate, so he came here in a hurry to sit in the town and provide shelter for him?"

They are not good enough to do anything to Liu Biao, but it is still easy to victimize some Jingzhou students who speak out of turn and talk nonsense.

The focus of Guo Jia's attention was not on this, but he was slightly stunned, "First cousin? Liu Jing Sheng and Chong Guang actually have--"

Yan Qing hurriedly interrupted, "Nonetheless, it was just a momentary slip of the tongue, giving him a playful name."

When he read this history in modern times, he was so used to hearing people call him one first cousin to the left and one first cousin to the right that he inadvertently brought this slip of the tongue out just now.

Guo Jia gave an oh-so-quiet sigh.

Yan Qing did not take Liu Biao's arrival too much to heart, reading the letter over and putting it aside without further concern.

A few surprises, but still have. After all, in his mind, Liu Biao seems to be a foot out of Jingzhou, content to defend nine counties, do not think of military progress, so that Gan Ning for his service for a while, are disappointed to leave the invisible mansion.

This moment not only came out, but also took the initiative to run to this den of wolves and tigers, must have eaten the realization that they will not kill him this point.

Perhaps as a guest in Jingzhou, not yet sidelined by Cai to the Xinye cantonment as in the play, Liu Bei, who is often invited to share banquets and drinks, has not failed to advise his first cousin, who has been quite generous to him.

Wait, Liu Bei?

Yan Qing frowned slightly.

Liu watch's abnormal traveling, perhaps related to Liu Bei, and with the latter's mind eloquence, to coax the former happy to agree, non-trivial.

Moreover, Liu Bei's relationship with his first cousin is probably still in the honeymoon period, at least even the favored Mrs. Cai's triple and quadruple provocations have not been able to call on his first cousin to make up his mind, alienate or get rid of the other side.

Then in that case, Liu Guan Zhang, those three brothers, might also follow Liu Biao to come here.

The more Yan Qing thought about it, the more likely he felt it was.

Liu Bei appointed himself as a relative of the Han family, as a guest in Jingzhou, this time with the assassin to come into the Xu face to face the Holy Spirit, come to also completely called the name of the right and proper. And if he does not come, with its prestige, most likely have to assist Liu Qi on behalf of Liu Biao or Liu Qiong to sit in Jingzhou, but absolutely no way to call the Cai family at ease, so it seems, but also have to make every effort to facilitate this matter.

Cai's reaction, to put it mildly, was what Liu Bei had expected.

If all this is really in Liu Bei's careful planning, then what is his purpose?

Yan Qing pondered for a long time, gradually coming to an understanding.

He simply learns Guo Jia's posture that looks at the windy and comfortable, comfortably lying on his side, and calmly said, "If big cousin wants to come, let him come. Just I am busy supervising the examination, there is not much effort to receive him, Feng Xiao can be willing to do it for me?"

Guo Jia, obviously uninterested in the errand of dealing with a puritanical visitor, snorted and said, "Wouldn't it be better to leave it to the Lord?"

Yan Qing shook his head, "Leaving the Lord alone to deal with Liu Biao is still difficult to reassure Qing."

Not only afraid of the two sides of a word, Lu Bu this temperament on the mention of the square sky painted halberd to let the Liu table to a blood splattered three feet, but also worried about the Liu table to see Lu Bu is not accustomed to, but also deceived by not familiar with the ink, mocking the dark, so that Lu Bu ate verbal loss is still not aware of it.

With the articulate and talented Guo Jia at his side, it would be foolproof.

Yan Qingfu advised a few more times, Guo Jia only responded, helplessly saying, "Chongguang has not worried too much about the Lord's affairs."

Yan Qing, however, had a face that was rightfully his, and said in a resounding tone, "Who else in the world can go beyond the Lord's business? It is not too much to worry about."

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth twitched, and he only felt his teeth slightly sour.

Yan Qing imitated Guo Jia's lying posture, about the labor habitual, unlike the other side of a leisurely lazy bone, lie not for a while on the body are not very energetic, or sit up, got Guo Jia a contemptuous blank stare.

In the middle of getting up, his elbow accidentally bumped into an object on the seat, and Yan Qing looked down and eeped, "Who is so leisurely and elegant that Fang is here playing the zither?"

Guo Jia lazily said, "The district is not talented, it is precisely under me."

Yan Qing raised an eyebrow, the piano passed over: "Qing and Fengxiao know each other for many years, only know that your talent and strategy are all superb, the chest hidden in the details of the good plan, but I do not know that you are in the music of the one is also quite attainments, Wyatt elegant interest. I do not know today may have the honor to listen to the wonderful music immortal sound?"

Even though he knew that Yan Qing was able to put flowers into even the simplest of phrases when asked, Guo Jia was still quite impressed by his praise, so he mercifully sat up, took the zither, and confidently hummed and laughed, "How hard can it be?"

When it did, it played a complete song for Yan Qing by heart.

When the clear sound of the zither faded away, Yan Qing slowly came back to his senses. He is not very proficient in musical instruments, but he still has a very high appreciation, naturally he can hear that Guo Jia's zither skills are extraordinary.

Yan Qing, half sincerely sighing and half giving face to his dear friend, patted him on the back and said, "This song should only be found in heaven, and it is rare to hear it a few times on earth."

It was not that he had not heard the music played by Cai Yong, the master of music theory and his long-forgotten friend, but Yan Qing would have praised it wholeheartedly after listening to it with his ears.

Just usually hang around, not work Guo Jia, actually real people do not show, a good hand of qin, let Yan Qing had to be impressed.

Guo Jia smiled slightly, obviously Yan Qing's praise is deeply flattered, his mouth modestly said: "But poor skills, when the heavy light of the praise."

Yan Qing wanted to praise him a few more times, but Guo Jia then said, "I wonder if Chong Guang knows the name of the song?"

Yan Qing also really feel that the syllables flow bright, both fresh and bright, without losing the lingering tune is quite familiar, must be one of the ancient famous songs that can be passed on to future generations, the mind flashes, quickly remembered the name of the song, smiled back, "Is it not 'Phoenix'?"

The corners of Guo Jia's lips lifted slightly as he slowly put the zither down, "Not bad. I would like to honor my confidant with this song, I don't know if Chong Guang is still satisfied?"

Without waiting for Yan Qing to reply, Guo Jia took a look at the empty left and right and asked him, "Shiguang is usually too busy to find anyone, how come today's test is open and you're free? You didn't go to see the exact situation?"

This blow unintentionally struck Yan Qing straight in the vitals.

Although he had done what needed to be done and could properly relax a bit next, yet with his cautious and accustomed nature, even if the plan was perfect, there was no way he would not go to the scene.

But because he was too sleepy, not only did he miss all the candidates entering the field, but he also failed to give his baby son Lu Xun a good pep talk and send him in again, which really left him with regrets.

If we rush there now, half of the people inside will have taken the test.

Of course, with Yan Qing's identity, wanting to temporarily add in to be a proctor is no easier, and doesn't need to wait outside like everyone else.

However, there was no guarantee that the candidates who recognized him would be so agitated that it would be difficult for them to concentrate, and in case it affected their state, he would be called to feel guilty instead.

Out of these considerations, Yan Qing simply came to the council chamber to seek out Guo Jia for a chat, and only after the exams were over in the evening did he personally go to pick up Lu Xun and return to his house.

Thinking of this, Yan Qing suddenly looked at Guo Jia, who was still gently humming the tune he had just played, and asked, "Does Feng Xiao know why Liang'er and Zhi Zhao'er are at odds?"

Guo Jia said without hesitation, "Naturally."

Hearing his dry answer, Yan Qing asked directly as well, "Please also ask Feng Xiao to clear up my confusion."

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Ran bright son had commanded, do not disclose the reason to you, there is this gentleman's agreement, I should keep my mouth shut, you do not ask more."

Yan Qing shrugged, "Fine."

Surely the thoughtful Zhuge Liang could not be expected to make such an oversight.

Hiding it like that, in turn, made him want to know more.

When the first test was finished, after half a month, when Yan Qing was supervising the people under him to change the papers and count the list of those who had passed in a tight manner, Liu Biao brought his beloved wife, Mrs. Cai, escorted by five hundred elite armored soldiers and came from Jingzhou.

Just as Yan Qing had expected, those three brothers from the Peach Garden were also listed.
