Seeing that he was about to arrive at the inner city, Shangguan Haitang saw that at the gate of the inner city, a group of people were standing quietly waiting, as if they were waiting for something. And when Shangguan Haitang took a closer look, who else could there be if the person in charge was not Yuan Chang? At that moment, Shangguan Haitang and Guihai did not continue to drive the carriage, and hurriedly stopped the carriage, dragged Xu Shu's mother and son and Pang Tong down from the carriage, and slowly walked in front of Yuan Chang.

"The lord, Haitang and Yidao were fortunate to not disgrace their lives and brought Brother Yuanzhi back to Beijing City. Shangguan Haitang led Xu Shu's mother and son and Pang Tong to Yuan Chang, and said calmly.

"Hmm!"

Yuan Chang nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Begonia, a knife, you two have done a good job this time, I will write down your merits and reward them in the future." ”

Yuan Chang was not surprised that Shangguan Haitang and Guihai were able to bring Xu Shu to Youzhou, with Xu Shu's filial piety character, if Xu Shu could not be brought back to Youzhou, it would be strange. And the reason why Yuan Chang was waiting at the gate of the city this time was because Shangguan Haitang came back with a message before, saying that he was going to arrive in Beijing with Xu Shu. In order to show his importance to Xu Shu, Yuan Chang waited here with a few henchmen.

Xu Shu on the side looked at Yuan Chang and seemed a little dumbfounded.

Previously, Yuan Chang and a group of them stood at the gate of the city and waited, and when Xu Shu saw this group of people, he didn't pay too much attention to Yuan Chang. After all, Yuan Chang didn't look very old, even younger than him. Among the others, Guo Jia does not have the momentum of being the overlord of one party, and Dian Wei, who is born with five big and three thick, will only give people the feeling of being a bodyguard at first glance. Therefore, in addition to these people, the one who gave Xu Shu the best impression and was most likely to be Youzhou Mu was Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun was born heroic, and after following Yuan Chang, he led the troops to fight as the commander all the year round, and his momentum was even more full. Therefore, Xu Shu was ready to salute Zhao Yun. It's just that before Xu Shu could speak, Shangguan Haitang gave Yuan Chang a salute one step ahead of him and reported the results of the mission, but Shangguan Haitang's actions made Xu Shu avoid an embarrassment. It's just that Xu Shu was dumbfounded, only to know that Yuan Chang, who didn't look very old at the age in front of him and didn't have much overlord momentum, was the real master of Youzhou, which surprised Xu Shu at that time.

In fact, Xu Shu will recognize the wrong object, and he can't blame him for not having eyesight, speaking of which, it is because of Yuan Chang's fault.

Originally, Yuan Chang, as the lord, should have stood in the middle of the team, so that his identity could be seen at a glance. It's just that, maybe because of the indulgence of these days, or maybe because of the overwork last night, so during the waiting time, he actually looked a little listless and rested under the city gate. As a result, their position became Zhao Yun in the center, Dian Wei and Guo Jia followed one left and one right, and Yuan Chang stood in the corner instead. When Xu Shu arrived, Zhao Yun and the others woke up Yuan Chang, and their position did not change, so that Xu Shu recognized the wrong person. Of course, fortunately, Shangguan Haitang's actions reminded him, otherwise, Xu Shu would inevitably lose face this time.

"Xu Shu, a mountain and grass people, meet Youzhou Mu!" Xu Shu straightened his robe and bowed to Yuan Chang with a dignified demeanor. In any case, Yuan Chang is also the governor of a state, and he was also invited by Yuan Chang to Youzhou, although the means are not very open. However, Xu Shu will still follow the etiquette that should be.

"Yuan Zhi, there is no need to be so polite!"

Yuan Chang stepped forward to take Xu Shu's hand without any anger, and under the strange gaze of the other party, he said with emotion: "Yuan Zhi, I have always heard of your name, but I have not been able to meet you. Now, I took the liberty of inviting you and my aunt to Youzhou, and I hope that you don't have to blame Yuanzhi. ”

Xu Shu quietly withdrew his hand, and still said with full etiquette: "Youzhou herd has a good reputation, and the grass people are a villager, how can they be famous! It is the honor of the grass people to be valued by Youzhou herdsmen." ”

If it weren't for Yuan Chang's normal gaze, Xu Shu would have thought that he was coveting his "colorlessness".

"Haha, what Yuan Zhi said is, why should you and I be so separated. ”

Yuan Chang seemed to have met an old friend for many years, and he didn't notice Xu Shu's estranged words and deeds at all, looked at Xu Shu's mother and Pang Tong behind him, and said: "Yuan Zhi, this is my aunt, right? Therefore, the little nephew has prepared a banquet at home, feasting on his aunt and Yuan Zhi, and I hope that Aunt and Yuan Zhi will not refuse. ”

"I'm tired of Youzhou Mu!"

Xu Shu is not interested in Yuan Chang, but Xu's mother has a good impression of Yuan Chang. Yuan Chang became the lord of a state at such an age, in the eyes of Xu's mother, he was a representative of young and promising, coupled with Yuan Chang's aunt's call, Xu's mother seemed to return to her own home, and she didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and was taken down by Yuan Chang on the spot.

Of course, Yuan Chang also did this on purpose.

He knew that it would make Xu Shu uncomfortable to get Xu Shu to come to Youzhou in a strong way, but it didn't matter, with Xu Shu's filial character, as long as he got Xu's mother, he couldn't let Xu Shu bow down. Therefore, Yuan Chang aimed at Xu Mu from the beginning, of course, Yuan Chang had no other dirty ideas.

In the end, Yuan Chang looked at Pang Tong and asked puzzledly, "Yuan Zhi, is this Brother Ling?"

As far as Yuan Chang knows, Xu Shu seems to be an only child and has no brothers and sisters. Of course, the historical record is not necessarily accurate, perhaps because Xu Shu's brothers and sisters are not famous, and it is not impossible that they are not recorded; I didn't see that because of the reason he traveled, many characters and things in this era have changed.

Xu Shu bowed and said, "Qi Youzhou Mu, Wulang is the nephew of Pang Shangchang, the righteous brother of the grass people, and the nephew of the grass people, not the grass brothers. ”

"Oh, I see!"

Yuan Chang nodded, his face abrupt. It's just that Yuan Chang always has some familiar feelings when he hears Pang Shangchang from Xu Shu's mouth, but he doesn't know where he has heard it. Because of Xu Shu's arrival, Yuan Chang didn't think too much about it. Otherwise, if he knew Pang Tong's identity, he might be shocked. went to Jingzhou to rob Xu Shu, but I didn't expect to catch a phoenix.

"Boy Pang Tong, I've seen Youzhou Mu!"

"Well, Pang Tong, very well-behaved child..."

The "son" in Yuan Chang's mouth hadn't been said yet, but his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Pang Tong in surprise. Suddenly, he remembered why he felt that Pang Shangchang gave him a sense of familiarity, Pang Shangchang was not Pang Degong, and Pang Degong's nephew was not Pang Tong? However, he didn't know if it was possible to have the same name, so Yuan Chang decisively suppressed the shock in his heart and looked at Xu Shu.

"Yuan Zhi, isn't your righteous brother Pang Shang Changmo the hermit Pang Degong of Xiangyang?"

"Exactly, I don't know where the Youzhou Mu learned the name of the grass people, and the name of the grass people's brother?" Xu Shu looked at Yuan Chang with a wary face, Yuan Chang's expression was terrifying, and Xu Shu was wondering if Yuan Chang had targeted Pang Degong again, and was ready to loot Pang Degong to Youzhou.

"Haha, Yuan Zhi, you and Pang Shangchang are famous, and the world knows about them, how can I not know it. ”

Yuan Chang snorted and gave a reason casually. Of course, don't say that Yuan Chang himself doesn't believe in this reason, and Xu Shu won't believe it. Xu Shu is also self-aware, although his reputation has been started, but it has not yet reached the point where the world is known. Obviously, Yuan Chang was hiding something. However, now on other people's land, Xu Shu naturally has no reason to ask. Otherwise, if Yuan Chang is angered, he will have no good fruit to eat. It doesn't matter if he suffers a loss, now he is still dragging an old and a small one, and it is reasonable that he can't let his mother and Pang Tong be harmed. Therefore, Pang Tong could only suppress the doubts in his heart and wait for the opportunity to solve this doubt.

Yuan Chang didn't expect that although he also thought about recruiting Pang Tong under his command, because he wasn't sure how to loot Pang Tong to Youzhou, so he didn't attack Pang Tong, so he only targeted Xu Shu and Jia Xu at the beginning. However, who would have thought that the world is impermanent, as the so-called "stepping on iron shoes has nowhere to find, it takes no effort to get it", he did not take the initiative to find Pang Tong, and Pang Tong actually sent it to the door himself. This is simply a big pie, of course, Pang Tong is only thirteen years old now, and it is not yet time to come in handy. However, Yuan Chang is not in a hurry. Now he has Guo Jia, Xun Chen, Dong Zhao and others, plus Xu Shu who just looted, maybe Jia Xu and others in the future. And like the younger generation, Pang Tong, Lu Yu and others, can be left to his children and grandchildren, and now they are firmly grasped in their hands, and there will be no embarrassing situation of no successor like Shu Han in history.

Just as Yuan Chang and Xu Shu were talking, not far away, several carriages were coming. On both sides of the carriage, there were soldiers guarding them, and it seemed that there were some important people in the carriage.

Of course, the characters in the carriage are Jia Xu's relatives.

is different from Xu Shu, Xu Shu only has himself and his mother. And Jia Xu's father has died, his mother is still alive, in addition, there is a brother, three sons, and the scale of the family is much larger than Xu Shu's mother and son.

"Grass farmer Jia Cai, meet Youzhou Mu!"

Jia Cai is Jia Xu's brother, Jia Xu's father Jia Gong has two sons, one is Jia Xu, and the other is Jia Cai in front of him. Jia Cai's character is civil and military, which is Jia Gong's expectation for Jia Cai, hoping that he can be all-round in civil and military affairs. However, who would have thought that Jia Cai lived up to his word, he couldn't write anything, and he didn't do anything, and he also lost Jia Xu to fight for some anger, which was not bad. Otherwise, Jia Gong would probably be able to jump out of the coffin.

"Brother Wenwu, no need to be polite!"

Although Jia Cai is useless, for Jia Xu's sake, Yuan Chang is also polite to him. It's just that Yuan Chang's title made everyone around him roll their eyes. Jia Cai is now almost fifty years old, and in today's era, it is more than enough to be Yuan Chang's grandparents, but this guy is a brother, just like treating Xu Shu, which makes people feel speechless.

"Don't dare, the grass people are white, how can they be called so by Youzhou Mu!"

Yuan often called for affection, but Jia Cai didn't dare to answer. After all, Jia Cai knew that he was not capable, and the reason why Yuan Chang treated him so favorably was only because he had a good brother, and he would not forget who his surname was because of this. Of course, there is another reason because he has seen the strength of Duan Tianya and Cheng right and wrong.

At the beginning, Duan Tianya, Cheng Shifei and Guo Yu went to Jia Xu's house to "invite" them to Youzhou, but the people of the Jia family naturally refused. As a result, the guards of the Jia family were knocked down by Duan Tianya and Cheng Shifei in a few clicks. Therefore, in desperation, the Jia family had to follow Duan Tianya and the three of them on the road. Liangzhou is located in the north and has many different races. Then, on their way back, they came across a raiding alien team. Seeing Duan Tianya and his party, the alien team naturally didn't plan to let go. It's just that they chose the wrong object, and the alien team of hundreds of people was killed by Duan Tianya and Cheng Shifei, and only a few people saw the opportunity quickly and escaped to save their lives. It was at that time that Jia Cai really saw the strength of Duan Tianya and Cheng Shifei, where did he dare to have any thoughts of resisting. When they entered the boundary of Bingzhou, Yuan Chang's soldiers and horses were also ready to respond, and Jia Cai had no intention of escaping, and honestly followed the team to Youzhou Beijing City. Of course, after entering Beijing City, everyone in the Jia family was naturally like Xu Shu, and they were shocked again and again until they became numb.

"Okay, since everyone has arrived, then today will be the master of the state pastor, and a banquet will be held!" Yuan Chang waved his hand, and a group of people walked towards the most luxurious restaurant in Beijing.

Shangri-La!

That's right, the most luxurious restaurant in Beijing is the sign that Yuan Chang shamelessly stole and stole. Of course, Shangri-La Restaurant is not privately run, but is funded by the state government and used as a guest house. Shangri-La was built of cement and steel, and was the first house in Beijing to be built with new materials. The whole restaurant is decorated with magnificence and luxury. The layout of the restaurant is also the creative design of Yuan Chang in later generations, whether it is inside the restaurant or outside the restaurant, it can attract people's attention. The mother and son of Xu Shu, who saw such a restaurant for the first time, as well as the people of the Jia family, saw Shangri-La Restaurant for the first time, it was sluggish. The construction materials they have never seen before, and the advanced design concept, make them reluctant to even blink their eyes. After entering the box of the restaurant, they were blinded by the layout of the box, the tableware made of sterling silver, the seats made of mahogany, and the seats they had never seen before, made them like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

Of course, today's era is different from later generations after all, Yuan Changzi separates men and women with curtains, one for men and another for women.

After a banquet, it is natural that the guests and hosts are happy, and there is no need to say more. After the banquet, Yuan Chang summoned a group of henchmen, as well as the newly joined Xu Shu, as well as Pang Tong and Lu Yu, two little guys, to the meeting hall of the state capital.
