Chapter 20 Doubt

"Sir, why are you showing sadness on your face? But what happened?"

From the beginning of meeting, Yuan Yao discovered that Cui Zhouping looked like something was wrong, and he asked as soon as he discussed the matter.

"Young Master, Jun is fine."

Upon hearing this, Cui Zhouping's expression adjusted slightly and said calmly: "My father was listed as a liquidation of Wang Situ's party when the Xiliang army broke through the city and was tragically killed. This made the young master worry."

Cui Zhouping lost his words.

He spoke calmly and said softly what happened.

"What? Gong Cui was killed by the Xiliang army?"

After hearing this, Yuan Yao unconsciously showed an indignation on his face and shouted loudly with a little out of control.

Seeing Cui Zhouping's calm face, he could not see any anger. Yuan Yao knew that he felt even more sad inside.

The so-called "sadness comes from the heart", the real sorrow is often not exposed to the surface.

Seeing his red eyes, he had obviously cried for a while, Yuan Yao was silent for a while before he calmly said: "Sir, can you find out clearly, who was the one who lost Mr. Cui?"

"According to the knowledge of the subordinates, it is Guo Si, the general of Xiliang."

"good!"

Then, Yuan Yao stood up and patted his back gently, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, don't worry, when Yao leaves Guanzhong, the murderer who killed Mr. Cui will definitely pay the price."

After a word fell, Cui Zhouping looked back and noticed that the resolute look that appeared on Yuan Yao's face was not like joking. A hint of emotion suddenly arose in his heart, but he quickly stopped it: "Young master, don't do this!"

"You are responsible for going to Guan Ping this time and convince the Xiliang army to go out of the pass and attack Yan. Ji is the big thing just now, so you should not be delayed by such trivial matters as Jun."

"Don't worry, sir, this matter is sensible, but Mr. Cui is one of the three masters and is highly respected, but he was poisoned by the Western Liang army. This is a grudge against heaven and cannot be tolerated, so he cannot be punished!"

For a moment, Yuan Yaojian said vigorously, revealing a hint of sadness and boundless anger.

He was not a fake, he really wanted to avenge Cui Lie.

This is the key to whether Cui Zhouping can truly recognize him as the main person and serve him.

In the Han Dynasty, except for filial piety, most of the people were grateful.

It was like Huang Zhong that Yuan Yao used his family background to hire a miracle doctor Zhang Zhongjing to cure Huang Xu's serious illness, so he agreed to protect himself and thought he was thorough.

The so-called "a drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water." This is the reason.

On the side, Cui Zhouping watched Yuan Yao's expression, and was moved by his heart, but also noticed his kindness and righteousness.

He is not familiar with the Cui family, and he is willing to stand up just because he knows him. Isn’t such a lord worthy of loyalty?

Cui Zhouping was extremely grateful for the moment and wanted to accept his head and bow down, but his reason still forced him to hold it back.

Then, he couldn't help but rise up the topic and bowed and said, "Young Master, since the plan has been decided, then we will separate our affairs."

"Young Master, you went to meet Jia Xu and communicate, which aroused Li Jie's suspicion, and Jun saw if he could use his connections to enter the palace to secretly get the imperial edict for the king. How about it?"

“This is very good.”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao was overjoyed and agreed.

...

The plan has been decided.

Next, Yuan Yao went out early and returned late all day long, and went to the Jia Mansion to visit the Secretary of the Shangshu Jia Xu.

On the way back, he was very high-profile and widely publicized that he had gained a lot from asking for advice from Shangshu Jia. Shangshu Jia is worthy of being a knowledgeable and talented person.

I have to ask more advice in the future...

Yuan Yao was still afraid that others would not know that he would visit Jia Xu. He really told everyone he would... It was enough...

Li Jue's eyes and ears are everywhere in Chang'an City, so naturally these news cannot be hidden from him.

Upon hearing this news, Li Jue was extremely suspicious: "Why did Wenhe get close to that boy Yuan Yao in recent days?"

"I'm afraid something is wrong with this?"

"If it's just an ordinary visit and ask for advice, does Yuan Yao need to be so high-profile that everyone in the city knows?"

Li Jue couldn't help but think deeply, his face changed, and then said, "Are they plotting something secretly? Yuan Yao deliberately made a high profile just to cover up the fact of the plot?"

Gradually, he became suspicious.

Originally, because Jia Xu showed his talents, he was extremely afraid of them, and now he couldn't help but think about this abnormal behavior.

After all, if Jia Xu really had any plans with Yuan Yao to target him or plan the land in the middle of the city, wouldn’t that be a disaster?

With this in mind, Li Jue returned to his serious expression and ordered his personal guards from the side to say, "You go to the Jia Mansion and order Jia Xu to enter the mansion quickly, saying that General Ben has important matters to discuss."

"Here."

The personal guard bowed and took the order and retreated.

In a moment.

Inside the mansion.

After hearing the order, Jia Xu quickly entered the mansion. Facing Li Jue, who was sitting upright, he immediately bowed and said, "Xu met the general, but he didn't know that the general hurriedly summoned Xu to the mansion. What's the matter?"

Seeing that his eyes were extremely calm and he did not show any timidity, Li Jue's suspicion became worse again and he couldn't help but be even more afraid.

Logically speaking, a person with a ghost in his heart will not be treated with a normal mind once he is summoned suddenly.

If so.

Unless this person is really a ghost in his heart or has extremely strong psychological qualities that can make a good concealment.

But considering what Yuan Yao has done recently, Li Jie didn't want to believe that the conversation between them was really an ordinary visit to ask for advice.

Since he had already had a preconceived concept, Jia Xu had become a person with strong psychological qualities at this time.

"Wenhe, I heard that since Yuan Yao arrived in Chang'an, I have been visiting you frequently and asking you for advice, and I have been talking all day long. I wonder if this is the case?"

"It is true that Yuan Yao, because Xu is extraordinary and knowledgeable, has been entrusted with the fact that he has visited him all day long. Although Xu is unwilling to receive him, he has arrived outside Lin Mansion. Xu is not good enough to expel him, so he has to accompany him."

As if he had already felt the badness between Li Jue's words, Jia Xu suddenly became alert and immediately explained.

But he did not expect that, instead, the words he explained immediately made Li Jue conclude that there was something in his heart, otherwise why did I explain myself before I asked?

"He must have had some conspiracy with Yuan Yao, but he didn't know what he was planning."

For a moment, Li Jie stared at him tightly, pondering himself as if he was smiling.

But this smile made Jia Xu extremely suspicious.

What happened to the general today, and why does it feel strange?

After a while, Li Jue couldn't help but waved: "Wenhe, there's nothing wrong for the time being, you can return for the time being."

"Here."

Although Jia Xu was extremely puzzled at this moment, Li Jue summoned him to what he said, and showed an unusual look and smile. He wanted to ask clearly...

But he had already given the order, and Jia Xu had to bow down with all his doubts.

Seeing Jia Xu's back gradually leaving, Li Jue suddenly looked dark and said coldly: "Okay, it seems that there is something hidden in your heart."

He actually made Jia Xu retreat intentionally. His purpose was to make Jia Xu confess on his own initiative, but...

At this moment, Li Jue's suspicion became more and more serious...

"You can quickly send several smart Feixiongwei to hide around Jia Mansion to monitor every move in the Mansion. If there is any situation, report to me at any time."

Immediately, Li Jue decisively dispatched personnel to monitor and control Jia Xu.

...

On the other hand, Jia Xu was puzzled when he withdrew from the mansion and couldn't help but ponder: "What is the general's intention in this move, and why are his behavior and romance so strange today?"

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't help but think of Yuan Yao's high profile in the city recently, and suddenly his face changed drastically: "I've suffered! That guy in my heart is the trick!"

"Maybe the general had heard some wind just now summoning me to test it. From this point of view, Chang'an cannot stay anymore. If he continues, he may have life worries."

Jia Xu thought to himself.
