Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

"Why let the miracle doctor go to Jizhou?"

Inside Puyang City, Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia in confusion. "You said your old illness had recurred. I sent a miracle doctor to your house overnight, but you sent him to Ye City?"

Guo Jia did not make any excuses, but said calmly, "I have violated the Lord's wishes in this matter. I will leave it to you to deal with!"

"Leave it to me?!" Cao Cao curled his lips, suddenly furious. "Do you know what you are doing? This is collaborating with the enemy! This is betraying your master!"

"What could have been resolved with her death alone may not be resolved no matter how many people die in the future! You know how important she is to Lü Bu and the Tang Kingdom. How could you just wipe out such a golden opportunity? And leave her to me? How do you want me to deal with her? Execute her for treason?"

Guo Jia stood with his head down, silent!

"Ever since we established a master-servant relationship, I've respected and trusted you. I've treated you well. I can't think of any reason for you to betray me!"

Cao Cao took a few deep breaths, slowly calmed down his anger, and asked, "Why do you do this? Give me a reasonable reason!"

"There is no reason. If you truly believe Fengxiao is collaborating with the enemy, then punish me for that crime. I will have no complaints!"

Guo Jia's disregard for his own life once again angered Cao Cao. His pupils slowly contracted as he stared at him coldly, "Do you think I won't kill you?"

Guo Jia still had no intention of explaining. In his opinion, there was nothing to explain. He had neglected the overall situation out of selfishness. When he let Hua Tuo leave, he had already made plans for the worst.

"Someone come here!" Cao Cao shouted, and two guards immediately rushed in from outside the door.

"Take Guo Fengxiao..." Cao Cao pointed at Guo Jia, the words "take him out and chop him up" stuck in his throat but he couldn't say them. After a long moment, he let go of his hand somewhat powerlessly and said, "Throw him into jail first!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Guo Jia bowed and turned to leave with the guards!

Shortly after Guo Jia left, Xun Yu, who had heard the news, rushed in from outside. As soon as he reached the door, he said, "My lord, according to intelligence, Princess Tang was not saved by Divine Doctor Hua. When Divine Doctor Hua arrived, she had already woken up..."

He walked in and didn't see Guo Jia. His expression changed slightly, "Where's Feng Xiao?"

Cao Cao snorted angrily, "Drag him out and chop him up!"

“What??? Cut, cut…” Xun Yu was shocked at first, then his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.

"My Lord, you are really too impulsive. He didn't mean to go against your wishes. He just did it because, because..."

"Why?" Cao Cao asked.

Xun Yu lamented, "Because she is his little fox fairy, an obsession of his since his youth!"

Xun Yu recounted the story of Guo Jia and the little fox fairy, looking at Cao Cao with a look of deep sorrow. "The fact that Princess Tang was seriously injured was a pleasant surprise for you, my lord. If she died, that would have been good, but even if she was revived, life would have been the same for you. But you have cut off an arm because of this. Alas..."

"There's actually this connection!" Cao Cao suddenly realized, his eyes narrowed slightly. "Even so, it's a fact that Guo Fengxiao betrayed his master. Moreover, if he goes against my wishes for her once, he'll do it a second and third time in the future. There's no point in keeping an unfaithful person!"

"An unfaithful man?" Xun Yu was a little incredulous. "Is that how my lord sees him? He's been following you for so long, but can't you tell if he's truly working for you? He asked Divine Doctor Hua to save her out of personal affection. Putting aside her status as Princess Tang, this is just his private matter! If my lord thinks he'd be unfaithful to you out of personal affection, then my dear brother Youruo is serving the Tang State. If he becomes seriously ill one day and I send a doctor to see him, wouldn't my lord also be suspicious of me?"

"How can we generalize this? According to what you said, he is already deeply obsessed with Amo. How can we know that he will not show favoritism in the future?" Cao Cao said this and suddenly remembered that Guo Jia had made a special trip to Bingzhou. He thought, maybe he was a spy sent by Amo!

Thinking back to the matter of Jizhou, perhaps A-Mo had long planned to clean up the Jizhou nobles and powerful people, but she just lacked a reason for her to take up the butcher knife. So she asked Guo Jia to propose to her that they should unite with Gongsun Zan to incite the nobles to rebel, so that she would have a legitimate reason. Thinking about it again, she wondered where Bingzhou raised its food and grass that day, and Guo Jia said it was from the people without thinking. Obviously, he knew that Bingzhou was rich, but he did not mention it in advance.

Lu Bu was almost driven into despair in the matter of Jizhou, but in the end he not only won, but also won so beautifully. The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more he felt that Guo Jia was Zhang Mo's man. This time Zhang Mo was assassinated and her life was in danger, so Guo Jia could not help but surface. No wonder he did not dare to tell her about his past affair with Zhang Mo when asked for the reason just now.

And Xun Yu, if he hadn't just threatened him, was he planning to keep it a secret for Guo Jia?

Xun Yu didn't realize at this point that the more he explained, the more Cao Cao would doubt Guo Jia, and even himself. He looked up at Cao Cao and chuckled to himself, "You've already chopped him off. What's the point of saying more? Considering his past service to our lord, please allow me to collect his body."

Cao Cao half-closed his eyes, hesitated for a moment and said, "The man hasn't been beheaded yet, he's been locked up in the government prison!"

"No, no?" Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, feeling a bit amused and helpless. "My Lord, you really are... How can you joke with me like this?"

"You can go and see him!" said Cao Cao.

Xun Yu cupped his hands and said, "Since my lord has not killed him, I believe you trust him. Let him go. He is in poor health and cannot endure the pain of imprisonment."

Cao Cao said indifferently, "Let him stay in there for a few days, he won't die!"

"This..." Xun Yu wanted to say something, but seeing that Cao Cao looked unhappy, he swallowed the rest of his words and thought that it would be better to let Guo Jia suffer some punishment.

…………

In the government prison, Guo Jia sat beside the desk and had just set up a chess game when Xun Yu brought people to bring in quilts, oil lamps, toilets and other daily necessities.

Guo Jia looked up at him and said with a smile, "It seems that the lord wants me to stay here for a while!"

"Hurry up and admit your mistake to him. Maybe he'll let you out tomorrow!"

Xun Yu had the things brought in, then sat down opposite him and automatically took over the black chess piece and started playing.

"You know, I can't explain this to him!"

Xun Yu picked up a black piece and said, "I have explained everything to you. My lord has forgiven you by not killing you!"

Guo Jia paused while squeezing Bai Zi's hand, and asked in surprise, "How did you explain it? Did you tell him everything?"

"What else? I didn't see you when I went over there just now. He said he had already chopped you up, so I thought you were dead, so I told him everything!"

Guo Jia sighed softly, "Looks like I can't get out of this cell!"

"How could that be? The Lord only told you to stay for a few days."

"You've followed him for so long, don't you understand him? My lord is a man of great talent and strategy, but he's also extremely suspicious. If I'd told him this in person, even if he no longer trusts me, he wouldn't have killed me. But now that you've said it, I'm sure he's mistaken me for a Tang spy!"

Xun Yu recalled Cao Cao's expression just now, and his face became serious. He dropped the chess piece, stood up and said, "I'll go explain it to him again!"

"What do you want to explain? How do you explain it?" Guo Jia stopped him. "This is all due to my selfish motives. I also concealed the fact that I loved A-Mo. It's normal for him to be suspicious of me!"

Speaking of A-Mo, Xun Yu looked at him with a look of disappointment. "She is the Princess of Tang, not your little fox fairy anymore. You will never get her in this lifetime, so why bother doing this for her? And you also know that even if Divine Doctor Hua goes there, it will take at least five or six days. If she can't be saved, she won't be able to wait until then. You are really confused."

Guo Jia smiled faintly, "I know she won't die, I just don't want her to become stupid!"

"You, you really are going to piss me off to death!"

Xun Yu was so angry that he wanted to walk away. "You have to understand that your lord is Cao Gong now. To put it bluntly, what you are doing is betraying your master!"

"I know! I hesitated for a whole day that day, but I couldn't get over it. I thought that if the lord still trusted me after this, I would die for him without regrets. Now it seems there's no chance!"

"If this situation happens again in the future, won't you be soft-hearted again?"

"No!" Guo Jia placed a white piece. "If that day really comes, the outcome of this game will have already been revealed!"
