Chapter 152 Concubine(1/2)
Jia Xu's belly is actually not uncomfortable, but in recent times, I don't know why. Perhaps it was because he had eaten too hard recently that he had never thought of going to the toilet to relieve his big hand.
The pain of constipation has plagued generations of people from ancient times to the present.
Today, in order to avoid Liu Qi, Jia Xu deliberately ran to the bathroom to hide. There was nothing wrong with the left and right, so he simply took off his pants and went to the east and tried to work hard.
What if it succeeds?
Liu Qi waited for three incense sticks there, and Jia Xu also squatted three incense sticks here.
Unfortunately, no filth was released.
Although Jia Xu was born as a scholar and was familiar with the six arts, he was a man in his forties after all. He served as a military post under Niu Fu, but he actually did the work of a literary clerk. He had not practiced archery and horses for many years, and his physical strength had declined greatly.
It was really a torture for him to squat for a long time.
His legs were numb when he squatted, but he was estimating in his heart... Judging from this time, it was probably that the other party had almost left.
It’s not that Jia Xu doesn’t like Liu Qi. In fact, he is naturally good at protecting himself and does not want to get involved in right and wrong.
Liu Qi is from Jingzhou. As Li Jue's company, it would be inappropriate to let the prime minister know that he had met Liu Qi in private.
It would be better to hide.
It felt like the time was almost over, so I saw Jia Xu supporting his thighs with both hands, and staggeringly trying to lift his underwear and get up.
Unexpectedly, I suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, and there were two faint sounds that seemed to be in conversation.
"Brother, did you think Jia Wenhe deliberately didn't want to see me? So he avoided it? But where did he run?"
Jia Xu was startled by the sound, loosened his hands, and the underwear that had just mentioned his thighs slid down the base of his thighs.
Jia Xu hurriedly squatted down again, lowered his eyes and his head, covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and remained silent.
On one hand, he didn't want to see Liu Qi, and on the other hand, he didn't want people to see him in such embarrassment.
The two of them were getting closer and closer and finally stopped.
Hearing the sound, it seemed to be not far from the door of the toilet.
Under such circumstances, Jia Xu's face showed a look of pain.
He was so old that he was good at using strategies, so he naturally understood that the other party's move was clearly intentional.
Maybe Liu Qi knew that he was in the toilet, so he deliberately stood there.
But what is his intention to do in this move?
He is just a lieutenant who came here with Li Jue, and he has no say in helping them. In addition, he has deliberately shown low-key in the daytime, how could he be found by Liu Qi?
Jia Xu was thinking, but he heard Zhang Yun's voice vaguely coming from outside the toilet.
"Boyu, Jia Wenhe deliberately avoided you, why should you and I meet him with shamelessness? Maybe go back to avoid being too troubled."
Jia Xu squatted in the toilet and hummed softly.
Is this artificial and acting across the door to play, but I am playing with me as a fool?
It is said that it is missing, but in fact it blocks the door of the toilet. How vicious are the methods?
But they knew they were inside, but they didn't come in... They thought they should have deliberately wanted to say something to me.
Forget it, things have come to this point... Let's see what shocking words you can say.
But Zhang Yun said outside the door: "Boyu, for so many years, although the court has repeatedly imposed laws to appease the people, the world is becoming more and more chaotic. Thieves in various prefectures and counties often arise, and people's lives are not as good as dogs. There are bones on the deserted roads, and there are frequent food and food in the village... To be honest, since we drove out of the Jingchu land, the more we went north, the more refugees, corpses and places of famine, I have seen enough for my brother..."
Jia Xu said in his heart: That's what you have seen!
If you have the courage, you can walk around the border of Liangzhou?
Liu Qi sighed: "The emperor is young, and all the heroes stand together, and the people are hanging upside down, and even here."
"Boyu, in your opinion, where can these states and counties be settled for you, my scholars?"
Jia Xu curled his lips and thought to himself: It’s okay for Liu Qi, how can you Zhang Yun behave like a scholar? It’s funny.
Liu Qi asked without answering, "What do you think, brother? Where can I live in this world for scholars?"
When Jia Xu heard this, he was actually interested in the topic of the two, so he listened quietly.
Who would have thought that the things these two people talked about in front of the toilet would be topics that they were interested in?
Where can you settle down? This is something Jia Xu has been thinking about for a long time.
But he thought he was so hiding about this matter and never told him about it... Why would Liu Qi deliberately say it to him?
I must have never seen him!
Zhang Yun said: "According to common sense, the center of the court should be the whole place. However, the emperor was young and Dong Zhuo was in power. He was contrary to the scholars in the world and was quite wolfish. In this Sili land, many people were slaughtered because of the Liangzhou army's prison. As long as Dong Zhuo is there, no matter in Luoyang or Chang'an, they will be like a forest of swords and swords and cannot rest assured."
Jia Xu sighed in his heart. This is actually the thing he is most worried about now.
Dong Zhuo's current behavior is to be enemies of all the scholars in the world. It would be fine if he offended the scholars, but he even searched the soldiers in the Sili area and raped and plundered everything.
In fact, in the prison search, the class that suffered the greatest loss of life was the lower class civilians, and in terms of wealth and goods, the most loss was the local tyrants who made their own business by annexing land.
Scholars, powerful people, civilians... all the prime ministers offended them. Even if they were extremely fierce, what should they do in the future?
Jia Xu now regrets boarding Dong Zhuo's broken ship.
Zhang Yun's voice came into the toilet again: "I have shallow knowledge, but I can't keep the three servants, Sili, and Liangzhou... If the two Yuans are under the jurisdiction of them, can I rest assured?"
Liu Qi said, "After Shao and Shu, there were 100, 2,000 county magistrates in the world, and most of them went out of the Yuan family. However, the two Yuans were too ambitious and did not tolerate each other. I heard that both of them sent envoys to welcome the scholars and officials of Runan. Unfortunately, their jurisdiction was all the four battles that Ying Jie benefited. Although they could be powerful, they were not sure... Moreover, if the scholars in the border line could not devote their efforts to the Yuan family and were determined to make plans, they would be difficult to gain a foothold."
Jia Xu sneered in his heart.
However, the four words "Border Scholars" were like fine needles that penetrated Jia Xu's heart deeply, making him unbearable.
But to be honest, Liu Qi's words are very reasonable.
Zhang Yun said: "Where is the land of Yan, Qing, Xu, and the Secret?"
Liu Qi said: "Heishan, Qingzhou, and Baibo Yellow Turbans are powerful and invaded the northern states. The civilians wish they could move to avoid them, let alone scholars?"
Jia Xu agrees very much with this.
Land annexation and disasters have occurred for years. Zhang Yan, Heishan and Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou have developed rapidly. Each of them has brought millions of people. There are refugees everywhere in the Central Plains, and many lands are uncultivated. The grain use of the northern counties is very difficult.
How could I say that I could rest in such a tremendous chaos?
Zhang Yun said intentionally: "Then this place where scholars can live in peace in the world is my Jingzhou?"
Liu Qi said: "The country is full of people, and the people are displaced. All the northern states are in war. Today, we can avoid the chaos and disasters. We are not Jing, and we can get along with each other. However, if we talk about lovers and music, we can rely on them, and we are not the ones that Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou is the most..."
When they said this, the two of them suddenly stopped talking, but instead left the sound, and the sound became smaller and smaller with the distance.
"Hmm? How did you say that this... and leave?"
Jia Xu squatted in place, showing anger and astonishment on his face.
I have to say that what Liu Qi said just now did touch the soft spots in his heart.
Although this boy is young, he has a thorough understanding of the world situation and is also familiar with the two Yuans’ nature and current situation. Ordinary young men are afraid that they cannot see the situation.
Later generations searched the Internet for major events in the late Han Dynasty and found clues. However, those who lived in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were not as thorough and clear as those who later generations saw it.
Just like in later generations, what will the global situation eventually go, and who can really explain it clearly?
The most confused person is always the authorities.
Seeing that Liu Qi and Zhang Yun were gone, Jia Xu changed his original intention and sighed with regret.
When he met the young man in the daytime, he had not communicated much with each other. Why did he deliberately yell this in front of his toilet door?
Could it be that you are recruiting?
But what is he worthy of his appreciation? Does he know me?
Jia Xu shook his head and supported his legs with both hands, and slowly stood up again.
At this moment, his thighs were already numb. If he continued to squat down, he would probably not be able to hold on and fell into the cesspool below.
However, just as Jia Xu was about to stand up, he suddenly felt a strange sound in his abdomen!
Suddenly, the valley behind the orifice suddenly became tense.
The blockage of filth that had troubled him for many days was vented like a fountain.
In the toilet, a foul air filled the air instantly and the smell was stinking.
Jia Xu's old face turned red, the muscles on his cheeks twitched, and he had to squat down again and picked up a piece of toilet chip next to him...
"It's all the blame for those two boys. They blocked my toilet door and clamored for a long time, which made me so embarrassed..."
But it’s strange that Jia Xu’s thoughts were like the valley road at this moment, and his thoughts were very clear.
"Sili, the land of the Three Guards, is deserted in the morning and evening, and Henan is even more ruinous and has no resources... The southern land of Jingchu is indeed a good place to go." Jia Xu muttered silently.
...
Liu Qi and Zhang Yun went back.
On the way, Zhang Yun asked him: "Boyu, we were just outside the toilet. Do he really listen to Jia Xu when he said this artificially?"
Liu Qizheng smiled and said, "To be honest, I don't have much confidence... But if I guess correctly, he is a very insecure person. He wants to find a place where he can truly make his life safe. Such a person is actually extremely selfish, but no matter what, he will definitely come to Jingzhou in the future..."
To be continued...
