Chapter 174: Meeting Jia Xu
174
Two days later, the dance was in the dark.
"These old foxes!" Bai Xi received a letter from Cao Cao sent someone from Xudu and said to himself.
Then he handed the letter to Zhuge Liang.
"Brother, where is Wancheng?" Zhuge Liang thought seriously.
Both of them also understood that Cao Cao was preparing to make money by nothing.
But it is not a solution to put the matter in Wancheng here, it must be solved.
"I'll go and contact Jia Xu secretly first!" Cao Cao didn't want to intervene first, but wanted to wait until he did 70% or 80% before sending troops. This is equivalent to throwing everything to himself.
"But since he is going to do this, he won't want to interfere in Nanyang!" Bai Xi thought about this, and immediately had an idea.
After all, I don’t want to do such thankless things.
Since Cao Cao wants to make a fortune by himself, he must gain something from him.
On that day, Bai Xi returned home directly.
"Zhen'er, how do you contact your father in normal times?" That is, the father and daughter, so naturally Jia Zhen and Jia Xu did not disconnect from each other.
But I would contact you less at the beginning, but recently, especially in the days before Baixi returned from Xiangyang City, contact you have begun to become more frequent.
"Honey, are you going to meet General Zhang?" Jia Zhen said.
My heart is full of turmoil. Bai Xi and Zhang Xiu have a bad relationship. He and his father cannot meet as usual. This has always been a heart-wrenching problem for Jia Zhen.
"It's useless to meet him. You have to talk to your father." Bai Xi nodded, without denying or affirming.
"I don't meet my father many times, mainly in Bowang County, Wancheng and Wuyin are not far away, and you can get there in half a day." Jia Zhen continued: "When should I go, my husband? I can ask those who came from Wancheng to Wancheng to inform me!"
When Jia Zhen left Wancheng, he brought a lot of people from the original Jia Mansion. These people have recently become a channel for communication between Wancheng and Wuyin City.
"Just let's just go tomorrow!" Bai Xi said: "But you don't have to make arrangements in person. Jingjing has been with you all the time. You should know how to do it, right?"
"Jingjing knows it!" Jia Zhen nodded.
"Okay, just have a good rest first!" Bai Xi said, and went directly to find Mu Jingjing.
In the evening, in Wancheng and in the Jia Mansion.
"Baixi wants to see me?" Jia Xu was very surprised when he heard the notification from the visitor.
Because since that incident, a very strange phenomenon has formed throughout Nanyang County.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanyang County had 37 counties, and the county seat was Wancheng. Among these 37 counties, Wuyin could only be considered a medium-sized county pool.
Baixi was about to Wuyin, and after Tanghe was stationed, he broke off his subordinate relationship with Wancheng and never contacted Wancheng. The other thirty-five counties were also under the jurisdiction of Zhang Xiu.
Baixi has now been granted the title of Hou again, and Zhang Xiu doesn't care.
Therefore, Wuyin and Tanghe are a bit weird in the entire Nanyang County.
"Yes, Master!" The man continued: "The same way I met the lady and Master!"
"I wonder if you are tomorrow?" This man was waiting for Jia Xu's reply.
"Could he want to break the ice?" Jia Xu had this idea first in his mind. After all, he could not think of anything else besides this.
I haven't had any contact for several months, and now it's so sudden that Jia Xu always feels that something else is going to happen.
"Sir, do you want to report to the general?" said the family general.
"Don't alarm the general first in this matter. I'll see him first. If there is anything important, I will naturally report to the general!" Bai Xi then said to the person who came: "You go back and reply to him, at noon tomorrow, Bowang Tower!"
"Yes, lord!" The man took the order and left.
...
"Brother, should I let Yun Chang follow tomorrow?" Zhuge Liang said after receiving Jia Xu's expressive reply.
"I'd better not want it anymore. I guess Jia Xu won't take anyone else. If I take someone there, wouldn't I feel that I'm not sincere enough?" Bai Xi waved his hand.
Although Jia Xu is Bai Xi's father-in-law, the master he serves is Zhang Xiu.
In this era of loyalty first, if Zhang Xiu wanted Jia Xu to take the opportunity to get rid of him, Jia Xu would probably have to do it.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang was worried about it.
But in Bai Xi's opinion, since he contacted him in this way, Jia Xu's biggest possibility should be the same as when he met Jia Zhen in the past.
Otherwise, if the noise is too loud, Zhang Xiu will probably have doubts.
So it's better to be as safe as usual.
At noon the next day, as agreed, Baixi appeared in Bowang Tower, the largest restaurant in Bowang County, wearing ordinary people's clothes.
There was only an ordinary soldier around me.
"Is it Mr. Bai? Master is waiting upstairs!" When Bai Xi arrived, Jia Xu was already here.
Bai Xi nodded and followed the man in.
"Father-in-law, it's been a long time since I saw you. I miss you very much!" Bai Xi left the soldiers outside the door and entered a room alone. Seeing that Jia Xu was in ordinary clothes, there was someone standing beside him, and then said, "I wonder if my father-in-law is in good health?"
Jia Xu signaled to the people around him. After the man left, he said, "You kid, don't give me this trick. He kidnapped my daughter away. It's so difficult for me to meet!"
"My father-in-law can't say that, I didn't stop him, right?" Bai Xi continued with a smile: "Besides, isn't my father-in-law also blessed because of this!"
"If Zhen'er hadn't been around, my father-in-law felt that he was not surrounded by family affection and thought about marrying a concubine and rebirth, how could he have achieved the current improvement? I don't know if my father-in-law is okay in that aspect. If not, I have a good prescription here!"
Bai Xi said, and then quietly placed a pharmacy in front of Jia Xu.
"You bastard, you are so nonsense!" Jia Zhen looked at the room and took the prescription quietly. After all, she was old and couldn't do anything. Only he knew the pain in his heart: "I'm in good health!"
"My father-in-law is really old and stronger!" Bai Xi refused to laugh.
"Stop talking nonsense, say it, what's wrong with meeting me?" Jia Xu felt that if he listened to Bai Xi's words, his old face would be almost gone.
"Nothing big is going on." Bai Xi deliberately paused and then said, "It's Cao Mengde who intends to conquer Wancheng and Zhang Xiu. If your lord insists on refusing, he will be ready to attack directly. Anyway, Yuzhou is full of his soldiers."
"Given the last incident, if he passed by me, I wouldn't stop him!"
After hearing Bai Xi's words, Jia Xu looked at Bai Xi's face and found that he could not tell what was true or false.
