Chapter 68 Sleepless Nights (1)
For many, this is destined to be a sleepless night.
Yingchuan, inside a manor.
Guo Jia sat at home, looking at a document in his hand, with a sad expression on his face.
He slowly raised his head, looked at the horses opposite him, and said in a deep voice: "Does the Taifu really want to recruit me as an official?"
Ma Wan, who had just experienced a long journey, was drinking water with a big mouthful of dust on her face. He heard the sound and put down her cup and said, "Yes, I am here to invite Mr. Guo to the court as an official. The gentleman should know that the court has recruited Mr. Pi as the minister of the Yellow Gate, and asked Mr. Xiao to prepare for his departure quickly."
Guo Jia said slowly: "The Huangmen Minister, what an important position is that? I, an unknown scholar, dare to take this important task! Moreover, General Ma personally summoned me as the lieutenant, which really shocked me and felt uneasy!"
Ma Wanxin said, "What's the upset about this? If you don't go, I'll tie you to Luoyang and you will be even more upset!"
He bowed and smiled, "Sir, great talent, great tutor, good tutor, so I specially sent me to invite you. Don't let me go back disappointed!"
Guo Jia smiled and said, "The general is so serious that I am really ashamed of taking it. But this matter is very serious, so let me think about it for a day and reply to the general. How about it?"
Ma Wan nodded and said, "Mr. Binyi. It's getting late today. Can you let me stay here for a night?"
Guo Jia hurriedly said, "Where is the general who says it? Since I go to the mountain residence, I will naturally be able to entertain everything!" He then invited Ma Wan and his subordinates to have dinner, killing chickens and sheep, and the work was very rich.
Ma Wan sat at the table, holding two chicken thighs in her hand and gnawed them hard, thinking to herself: "Guo Jia is a good hospitality. What should I do if he says he won't go tomorrow? It would be really embarrassing to tie up his family to Luoyang according to what the Grand Tutor said. Oh, the Grand Tutor is too cruel. It's not enough to tie him up, and he will even kidnap all his family. I have never heard of Guo Jia, let alone any talented man named Guo. The Grand Tutor might have made a mistake, right?"
However, he didn't know that since Huang Shang took over Luoyang, he had secretly established an intelligence force, which was ruled by Jia Xu and Wang Zhi, and was responsible for collecting information from local celebrities and brave generals across the country and reporting them one by one. Among all the people named Guo Jia, only Guo Fengxiao met all the known conditions, who else was not him? As far as Huang Shang knew, today, the first person between Zhihui and Jia Xu was around was Guo Jia, so he was so serious and sent horses to do this.
Guo Jia sat opposite him, but he was not aware of the taste. It was an honor to be recruited by the court, but now the world is in chaos, so he didn't know what kind of person Huang Shang is. Although he is now in power, if he is not a lord who can rely on, wouldn't he waste his efforts?
He shook his head, knowing that tonight, he would have to spend time weighing the world's general trend and would have difficulty falling asleep again.

Cai Yong sat in the carriage and walked all the way to his home, feeling sad and couldn't stop crying.
A gentle voice suddenly came from outside the car: "Is it Mr. Cai in front?"
Cai Yong wiped away his tears and lifted the curtain of the car. Seeing that it was Feng Ji, a counselor beside Yuan Shao, he hurriedly bowed and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Feng, where are you going?"
Feng Ji smiled and said, "I was going to go back to my house with General Yuan, but suddenly I remembered that the money I owe to a restaurant has not been paid yet, and I happened to have money on it, so I wanted to go to the restaurant. Since I happened to meet Lord Cai, why not go and get drunk together?"
Cai Yong was just at the banquet, just staring at his daughter's sadness, and he had no intention of drinking and eating. At this time, when he heard him say it, sadness and anger surged in his heart, wishing he could not stop drunk, so he followed him to the restaurant and drank a big glass of wine.
Feng Ji looked at him coldly, and saw that he had almost drunk, so he asked about what happened today.
Cai Yong was half drunk and forgot Huang Shang's intimidation. He unconsciously said everything without missing a single word.
Feng Ji sighed, "It's pitiful, it's a pity! Although Ai escaped from the tiger's kiss, he entered the wolf's nest again!"
Cai Yong was shocked and asked why.
Feng Ji sighed, "I heard that Huang Shang was practicing evil techniques, and he wanted to use his young daughter as a furnace and practice the technique of Peng Zu's replenishment. Judging from his appearance, he thought that Love was just a good old age, so he wanted to offer it to Liu Sha to win his favor. Unexpectedly, Liu Sha didn't like young women, so he stayed by himself to fulfill his life and practice evil techniques!"
When Cai Yong heard this, he was angry and wanted to find Huang Shang to fight desperately, but was pulled by Feng Ji and persuaded him: "These two are in power, and their minions are spread all over Luoyang. Mr. Cai is afraid that he will come back without his life! He will just bear the momentary anger and contact the loyal ministers and righteous men to plan for the future!"
When Cai Yong heard what he said, his passion immediately turned into grief and anger. He remembered that he exchanged his daughter's innocent body for a "Haoyang Township Marquis", and couldn't help crying to the sky.
But he didn't know that on that day, General Liu Sha forced the young daughter of the attendant Cai Yong as a concubine and asked the Grand Tutor Huang Shang to cover up the matter, which was already spread throughout the city. Everyone was surprised and sighed that the General was so lustful, and it was indeed Fengliu's young man's character. Countless people were overjoyed, thinking that if they offered their daughter, sister or beautiful maids in the family, they might have reached the sky in one step and made a high and low-yang village marquis. For this dream, I don't know how many people were smirking and couldn't sleep.
Yuan Shao, the Marquis of Qixiang, received the reward and laughed loudly with Fengji, and was overjoyed.
