Yang Xiu smiled slightly. "I admire you for a long time, and I admire you for a long time. The military commander came thousands of miles away, thank you for your hard work."

A hint of anger flashed in Fa Zheng's eyes, and then he regained his calmness. "Although the courtyard of Changshi is large, there is no place for me, Fa Zheng? Is this the way to treat guests by Hongnong Yang, or the way to treat guests by the general Changshi?"

Yang Xiu said slowly: "A gentleman stands in the world, and should be clear in public and private affairs. If you want to meet the general, you should go to the general's mansion. This is my private residence of Yang. Although the Yang family's portal is small, they dare not be rude. There is a way to treat guests, and there is a way to wait for uninvited guests. I am curious and come without asking for help. I am not invited and enter without reporting. Is this the way to serve guests in Shu Kingdom or the style of Mr. Xuande? Xiu was also lucky to have a meeting with the Left Superintendent of Fa, which seems not to be the case."

Fa Zheng's face was hot, his heart was angry, and his smile became unnatural. He gritted his teeth and bowed, "I originally planned to prepare all the gifts in another two or three days to visit the General's Mansion. Suddenly, he heard that the Chief Secretary came to the other courtyard. He was happy and rushed to pay homage to him. If there is any rudeness, please let the Chief Secretary Haihei."

Yang Xiu stood at the steps, held his hands together, looked at Fa Zheng condescendingly, with a faint smile, reserved but demeanor. "So that's it, but Xiu has judged the abdomen of a gentleman with a villain's heart. If you have any advice from the military advisor, you might as well speak in person and listen carefully."

Fa Zheng frowned. "Although Zheng has no virtue, he is the military advisor in the front throne of Shu and is eager for the style of the chief minister. Doesn't he even have the honor to talk to the chief minister? Although the chief minister has noble families, it may not be contrary to the way of a gentleman."

Yang Xiu grinned. "Have you ever heard of the story of the military advisor? Although Xiu was knowledgeable, he admired the style of his predecessors, and imitated him and learned to walk on the way. I hope that the military advisor would be of great insight and enter the house, and he would be omnipotent."

Fa Zheng's eyes flashed slightly, his eyebrows gradually raised, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "I heard for a long time that the King of Wu re-educated education and promoted education. He was able to talk about the white hair and his hair were drooping, and he sat down to discuss the Tao. The eldest son and his family had a background in learning and were accustomed to new styles. He must have been inclusive and self-contained. He dared not ask for the first level of the house to enter the house, so he could boast about it. Please give him advice."

Yang Xiu's smile became even more prosperous. "There are predecessors who are knowledgeable in hundreds of schools and are called the Great Confucian Confucian of Guanxi, but they live in seclusion and are indifferent, escape from fleeing their reputation, and their academic conduct is contrary to each other, is it possible?"

Fa Zheng smiled slightly and was not panicked. "The sage said: The country has its own way, the country has no way, the valley is a shame. Since Huan Ling, he has ruled the desolate government and made the sage rise again underground, and he should also travel around the world, let alone the people from Dafu and the village. He cannot help the world, but can only protect himself."

"Good! Please go to the first level of military advisor."

Fa Zheng bowed calmly and went up a step, neither humble nor arrogant, and looked straight up. However, he was still missing Yang Xiu two steps, and he could only see Yang Xiu’s chest and could not look at Yang Xiu.

"There is a young man who inherited the ills of his grandfather, followed the wasteful careers, was diligent and studious, read the classics of hundreds of schools of thought, fought against the Western Qiang and Northern Hu in martial arts, moved the capital to Guanzhong, practiced the domineering legalists, and enthroned the princes three times, and adopted the strategy of erraticism. Is this wisdom and stupidity?"

"Those who know the times are heroes. Therefore, the Spring and Autumn Period are in chaos, the saints travel around and Lao Dan travels westward. Even if they are wise, they will not help. Even if they have the talent of Jie and Zhou, they are still fools. How can they have wisdom?"

"Very good. Please ask the military advisor to reach the next level."

Fa Zheng showed his three-point pride and reached the first level. At this time, although he was half a head lower than Yang Xiu, he could look at Yang Xiu. According to the rules of the Tao, Yang Xiu had another question. After he answered this question, he could ask Yang Xiu. He had prepared the question and then see how the nobles of the three nobles of the four generations responded.

"There are fathers and sons who are defeated every time they fight. Fortunately, they are in the southwest because of their in-laws. When they are in troubled times, they are in the vassal state. Now the young emperor is defeated, should his father and son serve the king and defend themselves?"

Fa Zheng opened his mouth to answer, but suddenly felt that it was inappropriate. Among the two questions he had just answered, the first question was accusing the court, and the second question was accusing the emperor, so they were naturally trying to stand up for Cao Cao. Of course, it would not be said that Cao Cao would be loyal to the court and serve the king to save the emperor, but in this way, Cao Cao's actions did not have moral support, and all he could do seemed to be in seclusion. However, how could Cao Cao be in seclusion? He sneaked to Chang'an, just trying to make profits in the chaos.

But how could he say this to Yang Xiu?

Besides, there is another question: Cao Cao, the King of Shu, was conferred by the emperor. If he denies the emperor, wouldn’t he admit that Cao Cao, the King of Shu, is not worthy of his position and his origin is incorrect?

Fa Zheng was embarrassed for a moment. He was good at making decisions on the spot and fighting for the two armies. He was not very good at this kind of debate between the two armies. He accidentally touched Yang Xiu's way. Now it was a bit difficult to come back. He thought Yang Xiu's first two questions were very simple, but now he realized that it was a pit, all of which were foreshadowing for this third question.

There were three steps, two steps, and the last one left, but he could not get up to this level, let alone enter the house. He thought about it repeatedly and bowed and bowed to show his respect. "Qin lost his deer, the overlord, and the Han King was the generals of King Huai of Chu. The Han King entered the pass and destroyed Qin and developed Chu. The overlord killed Emperor Yi, and the Han King raised troops to avenge Emperor Yi, and there was a great Han. Can you ask what the Han King did was a loyal minister and was he defended himself?"

Yang Xiu looked at Fa Zheng's sweat beads and couldn't help laughing loudly. He shook his sleeves, turned back to the hall, and took his seat on his own. "The Central Military Advisor clearly cultivated the plank road and secretly traveled to Chen Cang. Although it was not a dignified formation, he could do dangerous moves. Please come to the hall to give him advice."

Fa Zheng was ashamed of his heart, bowed his hands and bowed again, went to the hall and took a seat in the guest seat. The maid brought the tea drink, Yang Xiu picked up the tea cup and took a sip. "What about the Central Military Master, how about the tea in Kuaiji compared to Shu tea?"

Fa Zheng looked down at the tea and felt very uncomfortable. Tea was originally a specialty in Shu and an important source of taxation. Now, Jiangdong is ten times more tea than Shu. In the entire tea market, Shu tea has no advantage at all. Although Yizhou is rich, Shu King implemented the new policy in Yizhou, and the effect is good, but he is not a match for the Wu Kingdom in the economy, and the situation is very serious.

"Although the tea tastes good, it cannot satisfy hunger. Although the lips and tongue are sharp, it cannot save danger." Fa Zheng took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Meng Changshi is not abandoned, so he can ask. I am willing to stay with the Changshi for several days and ask for advice all the time, is that okay?"

Yang Xiu remained silent. "If the military advisor in the middle school was a good example and learned from one example, it would be a matter of time before he could learn what he learned in a few days. If the military advisor was interested and absent-minded, even if he spent the rest of his life in this courtyard, he would be difficult to understand the great way. Moreover, although the scholar in the middle school was the chief minister, he was just a spokesperson. The military advisor was the confidant of the King of Shu. Now Zhou Yu and Huang Zhong were advancing together. If you don’t give advice by the King of Shu, you will accompany me to learn and learn from me. Naturally, I will not be able to ask for it."

Fa Zheng was unmoved and bowed. "Since that's the case, I will thank the Chief Secretary first."

At this time, a scream came from outside. A young man walked in quickly and muttered a few words in front of a servant at the stairs. The servant quickly stepped onto the stage, came behind Fa Zheng, and whispered a few words. Fa Zheng nodded with a smile, picked up the teacup, and greeted Yang Xiu. "Chang Shi, please forgive me for taking the liberty. The servant who has left the emperor outside has been invited back. Although the emperor stayed here for peace, although Yizhou cannot be compared with the Central Plains, he has little wealth, so he must do his best to not let the emperor feel wronged." As he said that, he waved his hand. Several tiger soldiers who were left outside were brought in. All the weapons were removed. Several people were injured. There was another person who was very injured and was carried in.

Yang Xiu glanced at Fa Zheng, smiling. "The military advisor is really not to treat himself as an outsider. However, Yang wants to remind you that although you are from Guanzhong, you still cannot control Guanzhong. If you cause trouble, it will not only affect the King of Shu, but also affect the Fathers of Fufeng. Mr. Xuande knows that he is afraid he will jump."

"Thank you for your reminder. You must be offended if you are in a hurry. If you have any blame, you will take it on your shoulders."

Yang Xiu ignored Fa Zheng and drank tea on his own, feeling contented. Fa Zheng sat for a while, feeling bored, and stood up to say goodbye. He had just returned to Mrs. Bian's house and someone came to report. Yang Xiu sent someone to invite Cao Zhi to speak. Fa Zheng frowned and his heart was in a bad mood. When he just left, Yang Xiu didn't say a word, but now he sent someone to invite Cao Zhi. It was obvious that he looked down on him and would rather chat with Cao Zhi, a seven or eight-year-old child than talk to him. He wanted to cut Yang Xiu with one knife, but he didn't have the courage, so he had to endure it and ask Mrs. Bian to arrange for Cao Zhi to go.

Back at the side courtyard, Fa Zheng turned around for several times, carefully recalling the meeting with Yang Xiu, and the more he thought about it, the more he became more and more uneasy. Yang Xiu was too calm and didn't feel caught off guard. Is it the cultivation of the children of aristocratic families, or is he already prepared and not surprised when things go wrong?

Fa Zheng recalled Yang Xiu's resume and was nervous, always feeling something was wrong. Especially the Anchored hidden in Qi had not been found yet, which made him unable to say anything. Who would this person be? How did he contact Yang Xiu? If this person is not found out, Yang Xiu's connection with the outside world will not be truly cut off.

In the middle of the night, Fa Zheng sent people to the General's Mansion back. They took a lot of trouble to get into the General's Mansion, but there was nothing unusual in the General's Mansion. The slaves lived as usual, ate and slept, and Ni Heng was still writing articles, but Xie Qing disappeared. Dozens of servants disappeared with him. After hearing from the slaves, Xie Qing went out to visit friends after dinner and never came back.

Fa Zheng calculated the time and sighed regretfully. He knew that Yang Xiu was fooled. Yang Xiu talked with him in an idle way, but in fact he was delaying the time and refused to return after the time was over. Xie Qing probably felt something abnormal and left the General's Mansion before his people arrived. The cunning rabbit had three caves, and Yang Xiu must have other places to settle in Chang'an, and Qi Li was just one of them.

At this time, Huang Yi came. Fa Zheng frowned. He had no good impression of Huang Yi, but Huang Yi was one of Cao Cao's eyes in Chang'an and was very important to his next actions. He had to keep the most basic politeness. He ordered people to pass it in. Not long after, Huang Yi came in, wearing a new dress and a happy face. As soon as he entered the door, he bowed to Fa Zheng.
