Cao Cao Glancing at the Cottage, Guo Yu Testing His Sincerity
"My lord! Yang Di had sent news that Guo Yu had rushed back from Jingzhou!”
Xu Chu reported excitedly.
Cao Cao immediately stood up and said,"Prepare the horses and go to Yangzhai with me!"”
The two of them soon left Xudu and rushed to Yangzhai County day and night.
When they arrived at the Guo family's ancestral home, Guo Tai was walking out with a food box.
"Guo Tai? Is Guo Yu at home?" Cao Cao rushed forward to stop Guo Tai.
"Guo Yu? My second brother? Second Brother isn't home." Guo Tai was stunned and confused. He didn't know why Cao Cao was looking for Guo Yu.
Although he had accompanied Guo Jia in the past, he had never read the letters between Guo Jia and Guo Yu. Before Guo Jia died, he did not tell him much about Guo Yu, so he thought that the Guo family would have no future after Guo Jia died. He did not have high hopes for Guo Yu.
When Cao Cao heard that Guo Yu wasn't around, he panicked.""Didn't you say that you've returned from Jing state? Why, you haven't accompanied Fengxiao yet, and you're already traveling around? Guo Yu is so cold!"
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Guo Tai laughed,"The Prime Minister has wronged him. Ever since he came back, he had built a straw hut in front of Feng Xiao's tomb and never left! Although he and Feng Xiao spent less time together and more time apart, blood was thicker than water. The deep affection between them was not fake! He had already sworn to observe filial piety for three years!”
Cao Cao was initially happy to hear this. After all, the Great Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. With Guo Yu's benevolence and filial piety, Cao Cao's good impression of him soared.
However, when he heard that Guo Yu had vowed to observe filial piety for three years, he suddenly felt like he had been struck by lightning!
"Three years of mourning? Three years of mourning! No, no! Feng Xiao recommended him to me and made him my military adviser. How can he be in mourning for three years? He was disrespecting his elder brother's orders. This was the greatest unfilial act! Quick, take me to persuade him!"
Cao Cao pushed Guo Tai to lead the way, but Guo Tai's mind was blank!
What was going on? Second brother had always only known how to tour the mountains and enjoy the water. He was a fool who did not even get close to beauties. Why would his clan brother recommend him to be a military counselor?
But if that's the case, with Prime Minister's current status, there's hope for our Guo Family to rise again!
Thinking of this, Guo Tai suddenly became motivated. He hurried and soon brought Cao Cao and Xu Chu to the Guo family's cemetery.
From afar, the newly built Guo Jia's tomb was very eye-catching, but what was even more eye-catching was Guo Yu's thatched hut.
Within a radius of tens of miles, there was only one place that was willing to build a hut to protect their loved ones!
"Second brother, we are talking about brotherhood again in front of the filial tombstone! Sigh, this silly child…"
Guo Tai pointed at the person beside the tomb and sighed. He could not help but shed tears.
Cao Cao looked into the distance and saw a young man in linen clothes drinking alone in front of the tomb. He couldn't help but recall the scene. He remembered that Guo Jia had also brought a wine pot to drink with him in the past. He felt sad and raised his sleeve to wipe his tears.
He was about to follow Guo Tai over, but Xu Chu pulled Cao Cao back.
"My lord, you are now the prime minister and have a noble status. If you want to be a military counselor, you have to behave yourself. Moreover, Guo Yu is a filial brother, I think we can't lose our etiquette. This is the first time we've met, I think it's better to let Guo Tai report first, so as not to offend him.”
When Cao Cao heard this, he looked at Xu Chu in a new light."That reminds me! Guo Yu's status is extraordinary, so I should be polite.”
Guo Tai was happy to see Cao Cao so sincere and respectful. He quickly walked to Guo Yu's side.
"Brother, are you here to persuade me to become an official again?”Guo Yu stood up to welcome him.
"I'm here to deliver food to you so that you won't starve during your mourning period! As for the matter of becoming an official, there was no need for him to worry about it in the future. Look over there, even if I don't persuade you, someone will come to invite you out of the mountain!”
Guo Yu followed his hand and saw that there were indeed two people not far away who were cupping their hands at him.
Before he could ask who it was, an ethereal voice sounded in his mind!
"Ding! Detected that someone is trying to recruit the host. The Strongest Sage Seeking System is automatically activated!”
" The Strongest Sage Seeking System: Every time the host succeeds in his plan, he will receive a mysterious reward!”
"Ding! [The System has been successfully activated. The host is rewarded with the inheritance of the Sage of Conspiracy, Guigu 'zi!]”
Guo Yu immediately felt his body heat up and saw a virtual interface.
[Host: Guo Yu]
[Strength: 70]
Commander: 105
[Intelligence: 110]
Political Affairs: 102
After waiting for so many years, the system had finally arrived!
With a flash of divine light in his eyes, Guo Yu had already guessed who it was.
Now, the world was divided into three parts. Only Cao Cao was left among the vassals in the east of the country, followed by Sun Quan in Jiangdong, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Liu Zhang in Yizhou.
He had always lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests. The only person who knew him was Cao Cao.
The person who came to recruit him today was definitely Cao Cao!
" So, Prime Minister Cao Cao is here." Guo Yu's expression was calm as he chuckled.
"How did second brother know?" Guo Tai was surprised." Could it be that you've seen him before? It doesn't make sense. The Prime Minister is either in Xudu or out fighting. You're either traveling or in Yingchuan. How do you know the Prime Minister?”
"Although I haven't seen him before, if there's anyone who wants to invite me to be an official, it's him!”
Guo Tai couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder when he saw his confident expression, but he didn't ask for the reason.
"Since you know that the prime minister is coming, then I will help you keep your hemp clothes so that you can become an official.”
He pretended to take off his mourning clothes, but Guo Yu immediately avoided him."I said that I would mourn for my brother for three years. How can I break my oath so easily?”
Guo Tai was stunned. He was the prime minister of the current dynasty, the leader of all the civil and military officials! If he came to visit personally, could it be that you didn't want to be an official?”
Guo Yu smiled." It's not impossible for me to be an official. However, that depends on whether he has the sincerity!"”
"Hiss!" Guo Tai's expression changed. He felt like he was looking at a monster." The Prime Minister is here personally, and you still want to be sincere? Let me tell you, the prime minister was afraid of offending you, so he specially asked me to come over and say hello! Don't you know what's going on with the Guo family? It was the blessing of the ancestors for a Humble Class disciple to be so highly regarded by the Prime Minister! Don't be ungrateful and miss the opportunity!”
"Go tell him that Eldest Brother and I drank too much today and can't talk to him. Tell him to come again next time.”
After he finished speaking, Guo Yu went straight back to the straw hut. No matter how Guo Tai tried to persuade him, Guo Yu did not say another word.
"I'm really anxious to death! If the Prime Minister allows me to be the military advisor, I have to kowtow and thank you! This brat really doesn't know what's good for him!"
Guo Yu was so angry that he shook his head and stomped his feet, but there was nothing he could do.
In the distance, Cao Cao was also very anxious. Especially when he saw Guo Yu return to the straw hut and not come out, he vaguely felt that he had come for nothing.
Guo Tai came out dejectedly and sighed. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
Ask the Prime Minister to come again next time?
How could he say that?
If this got out, wouldn't Xu Chu beat him to death?
Cao Cao saw his expression and immediately knew the result. However, he did not give up and wanted to hear a definite answer.
"How is it? What did he say?"
"Second brother said, said…said that he drank too much today and asked the Prime Minister…to come again next time!" Guo Tai said with difficulty.”
Xu Chu's eyes widened in disbelief.
On the other hand, Cao Cao was furious and almost went berserk!
However, after he frowned and gritted his teeth for a while, he sighed heavily."As expected of Fengxiao's younger brother. This pride and unruliness are so similar to Fengxiao's!”
Thinking of Guo Jia, Cao Cao felt a little more cordial towards Guo Yu's rude actions!
After looking at the straw hut for a while, Cao Cao finally laughed at himself,"Today, I was unlucky to have caught up with him when he was drunk. I will stay in Yangzhai City for one night and come back tomorrow!”
Cao Cao left with his head lowered. Guo Tai, who was behind him, was stunned!
"Tomorrow? What ability did his second brother have to make the dignified Prime Minister Cao show him so much favor and come again after being neglected? Could it be that his second brother also had the same strange schemes as his elder brother?”
