After leaving the pavilion, Yan Xiang came to Yuan Lian's mansion, it turned out that Yuan Lian did not leave the mansion, but Yan Xiang deceived Ji Ling and a few of them, because Yan Xiang knew that they couldn't find Yang Hong, and they would definitely come to harass Yuan Lian, out of righteousness between friends, Yan Xiang stopped Ji Ling and them, and lied to them that Yuan Lian was not in the mansion,

But they didn't expect that their gang would be so savage, and when they heard that Yuan Lian was not at home, they actually wanted to burn down Yuan Lian's home, so Yan Xiang came up with other ways to lure them away.

However, although his friend Yuan Jian was safe, he himself was in this trouble.

Ji Ling, who was unreasonable and unreasonable, forced him to go to Xuzhou with the army because he couldn't understand Yan Xiang's words, Yan Xiang had no choice but to agree, and before parting, Yan Xiang came to his friend Yuan Lian's house to bid farewell to him.

"It's all because of me, even your brother."

In the room in Yuan Lian's mansion, this old minister, who had assisted the Yuan family for two generations and had made outstanding contributions, fell ill on the bed at this time, and couldn't even stand up.

Obviously, the humiliation he suffered in front of the palace today was really too great a blow to Yuan Lian, so that he fell ill in a fit of anger.

Facing this best friend, Yan Xiang smiled bitterly: "It is my honor for Yan Xiang to be able to share some of the troubles for Brother Yaoqing, but now that I am leaving Shouchun, when I am not there, Brother Yaoqing, you yourself should be more careful." ”

Yuan Lian on the bed looked haggard, but he still insisted on sitting up, and he said to Yan Xiang: "You said the opposite, it is my honor to meet the virtuous brother." ”

Yuan Jian sighed, and then said: "Now the lord is surrounded by some people who pat horses and whiskers, steal chickens and touch dogs, and now the turbulent times are surging, and heroes and heroes in the world are coming out one after another, and the lord doesn't know how to wait, and he still enjoys peace and happiness all his time, but now the danger has come to his side······"

As he spoke, Yuan Lian became emotional, and then coughed violently.

Seeing this, Yan Xiang hurriedly stood up to check on his situation, but Yuan Lian stretched out his hand and shook it, indicating that he was fine.

After Yan Xiang saw it, he had no choice but to sit back down.

After Yuan Lian had relieved his breath, Yan Xiang spoke: "Brother Yaoqing doesn't need to be too nervous, although the strength of many princes is growing today, there is still a certain gap compared to the lord. ”

After Yuan Jian heard Yan Xiang say this, he suddenly turned around

He glared at him and said angrily: "Brother Xian, I respect you as an iron-clad and upright person, so I have formed a bond with you, how can you say such self-deceptive words with your conscience in order to comfort me?" ”

After Yuan Lian saw through his mind at a glance, Yan Xiang bowed his head with a face full of shame and said, "Brother Yaoqing, I was wrong. ”

Hearing Yan Xiang's apology, Yuan Lian sighed again, and said in a soothing tone: "That's it, you're not wrong, you are kind enough to help me, and you have suffered this kind of drudgery for me, the person who should apologize should be me, it is me who is pedantic and stubborn, and even the virtuous brother suffers here. ”

Yan Xiang smiled slightly, and said: "The eldest husband can bend and stretch, since I promised Brother Yaoqing to contribute to Yuan Shu, naturally I have no regrets, and Brother Yaoqing will say more about this matter." ”

Yuan Jian also smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "Okay, I won't talk about this in the future." ”

After a pause, Yuan Jian asked Yan Xiang with a solemn expression, "That letter, is it really from Jingzhou?" Didn't cheat? ”

The letter that Yuan Jian said was naturally the one intercepted by Yuan Shu's soldiers before, a secret letter written between Liu Biao and Cao Cao.

Yan Xiang nodded and said, "No, I also inquired about this matter for this reason, and confirmed that this letter and the sender were both from Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and even the content of the letter was written by Liu Cousin himself." ”

This Yan Xiang is in Yuan Shu's place, although he is low-key and unknown, but he is outstanding, this letter from Jingzhou, not long after it arrived in Yuan Shu's hands, he has already found out the source.

Yuan Jian sighed: "It's really not easy for the virtuous brother to find out the origin of this letter so quickly, if the lord can make good use of the virtuous brother......"

Before Yuan Jian finished speaking, Yan Xiang interjected: "Then it's not Yuan Shu." ”

The two of them looked at each other, and suddenly they both burst into laughter, and their laughter was not only a joy in suffering, but also full of helplessness and sadness.

After laughing, Yuan Jian said with a stern expression: "If this letter is really written by Liu Biao to Cao Cao, then this matter is much more complicated, I didn't expect Cao Cao to have such a long-term vision, he went to Xuzhou, but he has already played the chess pieces to Huainan and Jingzhou." ”

Yan Xiang said: "I heard that Corporal Cao Cao Lixian issued an order to the world to seek talents, meritocracy, regardless of conduct

, Most of the Yingchuan talents are attached to Cao Cao, and with so many heroes around him, it is not surprising that he can come up with such a clever plan. ”

Yuan Jian asked: "I have also heard of the talent seeking order, but: I don't know what is written? Can he attract Yingchuan celebrities to compete for him? ”

Yan Xiang nodded and said: "The order for the virtuous man says: Since ancient times, the king of Zhongxing has been ordained, and he can't taste the wise man and gentleman who rules the world together!" And he is virtuous, he has never been out of Lu Lane, how can he be lucky to meet? The ears of those who go above do not ask for it. Today's decision has not yet been made, and this special talent is also urgent. "Meng Gong is Zhao and Wei Lao is excellent, not Teng and Xue Dafu." If it is available later, then how can Qi Huan dominate the world! Is there anyone who is fishing in Weibin by brown jade today? And did you have to steal the money and not meet the ignorant? The second and third sons are bright and ugly, and I am the only one who moves, and I have to use it. ”

After listening to what Yan Xiang said, Yuan Lian's face became even paler, his forehead was full of beads of sweat, and he began to cough again, because he deeply felt from Cao Cao's order to seek merit, this Cao Mengde was an opponent that his lord Yuan Shu could not reach, although he didn't want to admit it, but he understood that once Yuan Shu became an enemy of this Cao Cao, it would only be a matter of time before he was defeated.

Yan Xiang saw that Yuan Jian began to cough again, and it was even worse than the last time, so he asked with concern: "Brother Yaoqing, do you want to call a doctor?" ”。

Yuan Jian shook his hand in pain, he looked up to the sky and shouted: "Shen Jian is a fierce disease, there is still a cure, the rotten wood will rot, how can it be rejuvenated?" This is my heart disease, only heart medicine can be cured, ordinary medicine, it doesn't work! ”

Yuan Lian said, tilting his head and beating his chest, crying bitterly, Yan Xiang watched from the side, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Yan Xiang said: "Shi for the confidant to die, in the past Yu let in order to repay the appreciation of the wisdom of the uncle, swallow charcoal and paint, and finally in order to complete the festival, self-slaughter and death, Yuan Fenggong to Brother Yao Qing has the grace of knowing the encounter, Brother Yao Qing will repay the Yuan family with death, this loyalty, compared with the ancients is not much better. ”

Yuan Lian lamented weakly: "It doesn't matter if I am comparable to the ancients, the important thing is that at least I can be worthy of Yuan Fenggong after I die." ”

Yan Xiang said: "If Yuan Fenggongquan knew and knew that Brother Yaoqing had worked hard for his unsuccessful son, he would probably also feel that Brother Yaoqing had done his best. ”
