"Where is Xiangping City?" asked Li Shuyi.

Bai Xiaowen briefly searched the information in his memory: "It's also in Youzhou, Liaodong region." Speaking of which, the distance from the city where the Youzhou Thorn Mansion is located - Beiping City is not too far. ”

"Oh......" Li Shuyi nodded, and said with some worry, "Our mission line is in Youzhou, but now we have to go to Jizhou first to delay time...... Alas, I don't know if there is enough time left to complete the task. ”

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "Who said that going to Jizhou is a delay?"

......

In the evening of the same day, Bai Xiaowen, who was wrapped in snow on his leather robe, led ten cavalry to Yecheng.

The gates of Yecheng have been closed.

"Open the door!" Bai Xiaowen shouted loudly while holding a torch.

"Who is under the city!" said the captain of the gate, standing on the tower of the gate, and shouted the same loudly.

"I'm Yuan Xi, the assassin of Youzhou!"

The captain of the gate guard was stunned for a moment and then said, "Do you have a credential?"

"The Great Seal of Youzhou Thorn History is here!" Bai Xiaowen took out the seal of Youzhou Thorn History from his bag.

A hanging basket hung from the gate, and the seal was quickly hoisted up.

After inspecting it, the captain guarding the gate did not open the door immediately, but hung the seal ribbon again, and said: "It is getting late, the lights are unknown, and it is difficult to verify the authenticity! Please camp outside the city for the night, and open the city gate early tomorrow morning!"

Before Bai Xiaowen could speak, the ten cavalrymen behind him scolded one after another.

Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes. This goalkeeper is a bit deliberately embarrassed.

With a choking sound, Bai Xiaowen pulled out his sword (the rules of the spirit world were transformed), and shouted: "I am the assassin of Youzhou, the son of the general, and I was ordered to return to my hometown and province, since you have checked the seal, do you dare to stop me under the pretext?

Under the firelight, the captain guarding the gate saw Bai Xiaowen's majestic bearing, and he was afraid.

After a little hesitation, the captain of the gate guard softened: "Please wait a moment for the second son." The villain was also ordered by the third prince to strictly guard the city defense, and he was not allowed to let unrelated people enter the city, so he dared to stop it. Since it is the second son in person, the villain just opens the door. ”

The squeaky suspension bridge was lowered, Bai Xiaowen snorted and hit his horse into the city, and ten cavalry behind him followed.

After entering the city, Bai Xiaowen's murderous aura disappeared without a trace, and in the face of the somewhat uneasy guard captain, he said: "It is your duty to guard the door, I won't blame you, but after checking the seal, you have to block it, it's not yours." Remember your first offense, forgive me, if there is a next time, I will not be forgiven!"

The captain of the gate wiped his sweat and watched Bai Xiaowen ride straight into the middle street and walk away. He secretly muttered in his heart, when did the second son become so dignified? He was actually the same as the general, so that people couldn't have the mind to disobey.

Not to mention the captain guarding the gate, the ten elite horsemen who followed Bai Xiaowen also had a trace of shock in their hearts.

It is already rare for Bai Xiaowen to brave the snow and make a journey, give up the comfortable carriage, and endure hardships with them. Now in front of the city gate, he angrily scolded the captain of the gate, and his strong style was like two people compared to the usual second son.

Bai Xiaowen is not afraid of being perceived as behaving abnormally - the Three Kingdoms Plane World, unlike the Western fantasy plane world, has a very low level of awareness of the "other world", and basically no one will think of the possibility of Yuan Xi being "crossed".

Especially the acquaintances in Yecheng have not seen Yuan Xi for three months, and the change in the temperament of Yuan's second son will not be difficult to explain.

Bai Xiaowen didn't even change his clothes, and went directly into the General's Mansion. While waiting for the report, he also opened the leaf peony picture, and muttered a few lines of poetry, which made Li Shuyi pout.

At this time, it was the time of the lantern, and Mrs. Liu had not yet gone to bed. Hearing that the next person reported that the second son had arrived, he announced that Bai Xiaowen entered and met to talk.

"You kid, why are you covered in snow and cement, so embarrassed!" Mrs. Liu was startled when she saw "Yuan Xi".

In accordance with the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, Bai Xiaowen gave a big gift to Mrs. Liu, the biological mother, and said:

"The child left yesterday to visit his mother. Unexpectedly, he contracted an illness on the way and fell asleep for most of the day. When I woke up today, I saw that the date had come, and I was so anxious that I led my people to hurry up and hurry to the horse. I didn't clean up the dust all the way, and I didn't bring a gift for my mother. Disrespectful to my mother, begging for forgiveness!"

"Alas...... You kid!" Mrs. Liu usually doesn't like this second son very much, but somehow, when she sees it today, she feels very pleasing to the eye.

Seeing Bai Xiaowen's sweat mixed with snow, Mrs. Liu was worried that he would be sick, so she hurriedly ordered four slaves to serve Bai Xiaowen to bathe and change clothes.

After Bai Xiaowen bathed, he changed into a transfiguration shape, which made his temperament even more refined, even inherited from Yuan Xi, his medium-to-upper appearance was driven by his temperament, and he looked handsome.

When I went to see Mrs. Liu again, there were already a few more people in the hall.

Bai Xiaowen saw the cheap daughter-in-law at first sight, Zhen Mi.

Without him, Zhen Mi is too dazzling, she stands quietly behind Mrs. Liu, not in the C position, but overshadows Mrs. Liu in the C position.

The coiled snake bun exposes the forehead. The so-called men are afraid of showing their heads, and women are afraid of showing their foreheads, it stands to reason that this kind of bun without bangs can easily make the appearance of beautiful women drop a notch, but Zhen Mi is beautiful at 360 degrees without dead ends.

Bai Xiaowen's concentration was strong, and his gaze just flickered, and he slid over Zhen Mi's face and swept through the hall.

In addition to Mrs. Liu, there was also a young man and a teenager in the hall, all of whom were richly dressed and showed a hint of arrogance.

Needless to say, Bai Xiaowen can know that these two people must be his cheap brothers, the eldest Yuan Tan and the third Yuan Shang.

"Second brother, why did you come? I arrived in Yecheng three days ago," Yuan Shang said with a smile, "In the future, you can be more attentive to your mother, and if others know, you still think that there is some gap between you and your mother, second brother." ”

Bai Xiaowen glanced at Yuan Shang, this kid is really as Romance said, he looks good, his appearance is higher than that of Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, and he has a certain amount of courage, no wonder Yuan Shao is the most happy, even if the army goes out, he also takes him with him.

To Yuan Shang's surprise, Mrs. Liu spoke first: "Shang'er, your second brother is sick, and he hurried to greet me, I know this filial piety." Say less. ”

Yuan Shang could only bow his head.

Bai Xiaowen secretly complained in his heart, if Yuan Xi wasn't afraid that your grandson would misunderstand, why wouldn't he come over in advance.

However, these words are not suitable to be mentioned in front of Mrs. Liu, otherwise with Mrs. Liu's consistent preference for Yuan Shang, the two will compete, and it will only be Bai Xiaowen who suffers. The inherent concept cannot be changed by the image score or the superior charm value of the person for a while.

Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "What the third brother said is true. It's just that Youzhou's affairs are important, Wuhuan and Xiangping are unstable, and the foolish brother can only focus on official affairs, and he rushed over after handling official affairs, so it was too late. The third brother has always been under his father's knees, carefree, and the foolish brother doesn't dare to compare with you. ”
