Shouchun City.

After Yuan Shu occupied Yuzhou, his power increased greatly.

With the majestic background of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, many civil and military generals from Jianghuai and other places in Henan Province took refuge in him.

In a short period of time, Yuan Shu rose rapidly, and even faintly showed signs of catching up with Dong Zhuo.

However, after his power was stabilized, Yuan Shu lost his ambition to continue to expand and grow.

Instead, he regained his former true colors, and indulged in lustful dogs and horses all day long.

There were also many loyal and righteous people under his command, who tried their best to advise, but all of them were to no avail.

What made everyone under his command even more disheartened was that Yuan Shu not only did not want to make progress, but also began to focus on pleasure everywhere.

wantonly looted the people's fat and ointment in Henan, Jianghuai and other places, just for his own pleasure.

The splendid construction of his mansion is in stark contrast to the humble houses of the ordinary people in Shouchun City.

Yuan Shao built a vast back garden in his mansion.

It is specially for him to take his wife and concubine to play here on weekdays.

In the Shouchun area, the climate is suitable, and it is the height of summer, but it does not look hot.

The garden is full of flowers, all kinds of flowers compete with each other, and it is a beautiful scene.

In this beautiful view, there is not the sound of laughter like silver bells.

More than a dozen young and beautiful women are frolicking here.

Those silver bell-like laughter came from their mouths.

The weather was a little hot, and the girls were dressed coolly.

They are full of youth and vitality, and they also sent a cool breath to this hot summer.

Among the girls, there was also a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes.

He was blindfolded with silk, and his hands were stretched forward, searching for the girl's position with the help of his voice.

As soon as he touches a girl, he immediately takes him into his arms, causing the other girl to laugh even more heartily.

This middle-aged man is of medium stature, but his appearance is very handsome, although his eyes are blindfolded.

But between the eyebrows and the corners of the mouth, there is always a hint of arrogance.

This person is the second son of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu Yuan Highway.

Yuan Shu happened to hug a young girl, took her into his arms, and took a deep breath hard.

"Hahaha, it's so fragrant, this smell should be fragrant."

The little face of the girl in her arms, who was originally smiling and groaning, suddenly collapsed after hearing Yuan Shu's words.

pursed his lips and said coquettishly: "Master, you are bad, you guessed wrong, hum!" ”

"Hahahaha." Yuan Shu laughed and pulled the silk off his face.

Stretched out his hand and pinched the girl's little face, and said, "I deliberately said something wrong, just to see how angry you looked." ”

The girl stomped her pink feet, and was about to speak.

A voice came from afar: "Lord! ”

"What is it called! Didn't you say don't bother me? Yuan Shu's tone was very unkind.

The guards outside immediately shrunk their necks when they heard the sound, as Yuan Shu's personal guard, he naturally understood the temperament of his master, and it was really helpless to come to disturb him at this time.

The guards didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly said: "The prince said that he was in a hurry to see the lord because of something important!" ”

"Yao'er?" Yuan Shu let go of the girl in his arms and said suspiciously.

The group of girls beside him quieted down when they saw Yuan Shu's appearance.

Yuan Shu opened his mouth and asked, "Did Yao'er say anything?" ”

"Childe only said that it was a very important thing." The guard hurriedly replied respectfully, and then added, "Accompanying Gongzi is also Wang Yue Wang Sword Master. ”

"Wang Yue?" Yuan Shu's brows furrowed even tighter.

"Isn't it Yao'er's swordsmanship?" Whispering to himself, Yuan Shu said in a high voice to the guards in the distance, "Let the two of them come in." ”

The guard was ordered to leave in a hurry, and he had been a dozen paces away from here the whole time.

This is also Yuan Shu's order, and this back garden is basically a forbidden place for him to enjoy and play.

Generally, without his order, even his own son Yuan Yao was not allowed to step in.

Therefore, Yuan Yaocai needed to be reported by the guards.

After a while, two figures of about the same height walked briskly.

The person in front of him was very young, handsome, and although there was still a little childishness on his face, he could also see that he was heroic.

The person in the back was a little thin, following behind the young man, his hands hanging down at his sides, always keeping his head down, he couldn't see his face clearly, he could only see that the temples on both sides were bulging high, but the whole person had an indescribable sharpness.

The two of them came to Yuan Shu and respectfully saluted Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu waved his hand, motioned for the two of them to be polite, and asked:

"Yao'er, what are you looking for me?"

The young man in front of him was Yuan Shu's only son, Yuan Yao, and he said, "Father, it's my teacher who has something important to see my father. ”

Yuan Shu turned his head and looked at Wang Yue, who was standing solemnly with his hands down, a look of disdain flashed on his face.

He had also heard of this Wang Yue, and it was said that he had a high reputation among the rangers, and he seemed to be known as the sword god or something.

But Yuan Shu never looked at this kind of thing, and he didn't even bother to look at this kind of low-born person.

It's just that he knows that this person's swordsmanship is good, so he called his son to teach swordsmanship.

But such a person can find himself what to do.

Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Yao, and Yuan Yao nodded at him solemnly.

Although Yuan Shu looks down on Wang Yue, he still loves his son, since his son has spoken, it should be regarded as giving his son a face.

"Wang Jianshi, right, what the hell is the matter with you? Hurry up. ”

Wang Yue still didn't dare to raise his head when he heard this, he bowed, raised his fists above his head with both hands, and said:

"Yuan Gong, the matter is very important, I can only sue Yuan Gong. Please also ......"

Although Wang Yue did not finish his words, everyone present understood the meaning of the words.

Yuan Shu felt impatient and glanced at Wang Yue even more disgusted.

was about to get angry, but Yuan Yao took the first step and said, "Father, let's let these people go down, this matter is really very important." ”

When Yuan Shu heard this, he had no choice but to suppress his anger, waved his hand impatiently, and let those warblers and Yanyan retreat.

It wasn't until those girls were far away and completely out of sight that Wang Yue put down his hands.

Wang Yue turned around and took out a burden from his back, bulging like a companion bag.

Yuan Shu frowned and looked at everything, and his heart was also aroused by Wang Yue's actions.

This burden looks very ordinary on the outside, exactly the same as what ordinary people use when they go out.

There happened to be a stone table next to it, and Wang Yue walked over with his burden in both hands.

Yuan Shu's father and son also walked to the stone table and sat down, both of them curiously focused their eyes on the burden in Wang Yue's hand.

Yuan Shu glanced at Yuan Yao, saw his son's expression, and immediately understood, he didn't know what kind of items were in this baggage.

Yuan Shu wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, but he still patiently closed his mouth.

Wang Yue didn't look at the father and son, and focused on dismantling the burden.

The baggage is layered layer after layer, and it is wrapped very tightly.

Wang Yue dismantled it carefully and carefully.

Yuan Shu also seemed to be infected by Wang Yue's concentration, and gradually suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

It's just a few layers of clothes, but it seems like it took a long time to turn it open.

Inside it is a brocade box, which looks ordinary from the outside, without ornate carved decorations, just like an ordinary wooden box.

But Yuan Shu could see at a glance that the wood of the brocade box was different, and it was by no means comparable to ordinary wood.

At this time, Wang Yue finally raised his eyes and glanced at Yuan Shu's father and son, and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Gong, you will definitely be overjoyed when you see this thing. ”

Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows, but he didn't reprimand.

Wang Yue's pretentiousness was very successful in arousing his curiosity, and he would not think that Wang Yue was bold enough to make boring jokes.

You must know that although Wang Yue is martial arts, he has not been put into Yuan Shu's eyes.

Finally, Wang Yue slowly opened the brocade box.

It was early afternoon, and the sun was strong but not dazzling.

After the brocade box opened a crack, a multicolored light immediately appeared.

When Yuan Shu and Yuan Yao saw such a strange scene, their eyes immediately widened, such a vision can only be seen when the legendary strange treasure appears.

The lid above the brocade box is slowly lifted.

As the lid lifts, the multicolored light immediately blooms, reflecting a brilliant glow in the sunlight.

It's like another little sun.

After a few breaths, the three of them gradually adjusted to the dazzling light.

Yuan Shu held his breath and looked carefully.

I saw that in the brocade box, a piece of jade was supported by a cloth.

The jade is no more than four inches in circumference, but it seems to be carved from a single piece of jade.

The lower half is a monolith, but there is a corner that is inlaid with gold, which looks like it should have been repaired later.

The upper part of the jade is carved with five flying dragons, twisting upwards.

The five dragons are lifelike and extremely expressive, and they really look as if they are ready to fly.

"This, this is ......" Yuan Shu said tremblingly, becoming a little incoherent.

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands.

Those hands were now trembling violently with excitement.

Slowly, the hands finally touched the jade, carefully caressing the delicate carvings.

Feeling the delicate carving, Yuan Shu's eyes showed complex expressions such as intoxication, greed, and joy.

Although Yuan Yao didn't dare to stretch out his hand, the expression he showed was the same as that of his father.

Wang Yue secretly glanced at the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "This is the jade seal of the country." ”

Although he was already very convinced, Yuan Shu was still shocked when he heard Wang Yue say it at this moment.

The stroking hands snapped and pressed tightly against the delicate five dragons.

Yuan Shu turned his head and looked at Wang Yue speechless.

Wang Yue understood what he wanted to ask, nodded, and repeated again: "Inherit the jade seal of the country." ”

Yuan Shu's eyes widened more than twice as widely, and he asked softly as if seeking verification:

"You say, this is the heirloom jade seal?"

"That's right!" Wang Yue nodded firmly in his tone, "This is the heirloom jade seal!" ”

The green tendons on Yuan Shu's hands flared up, and he turned his head again, staring at the jade side with his eyes.

His eyes were immediately bloodshot, and his breathing gradually became heavy and rapid.

Yuan Shu finally took out the jade seal with both hands.

He was careful not to even take a breath of air, as if if if he was not careful, the items in his hands would break.

Holding both sides of the square jade with both hands, he slowly flipped the jade over.

"Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang" several ancient seal characters appeared in front of Yuan Shu.

His breathing was heavy again.

His hands began to tremble slightly again, and he hurriedly put the jade seal in his hand gently in the brocade box, for fear of accidentally falling down.

Touching every inch of jade intoxicated, it is like caressing the skin of first love.

Yuan Shu's eyes were obsessed with this jade seal, and Yuan Yao next to him also looked like his father.

Wang Yue looked at Yuan Shu, and the corners of his mouth curled into an imperceptible smile.

After watching it for a long time, Yuan Shu finally realized his gaffe, slowly put the jade seal in the brocade box, glanced at it again with nostalgia, and then covered it with the lid.

After closing his eyes and calming down for a while, Yuan Shu calmed down again, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Yuan Yao.

Finding the intoxicated expression on his son's face, Yuan Shu suddenly became angry, and secretly scolded in his heart for being useless, but he forgot that he was so unbearable.

He snorted heavily, which allowed Yuan Yao to recover from that state.

Waiting for Yuan Yao to glance at him dissatisfiedly, Yuan Shu looked at Wang Yue.

"Sword Master Wang, where did you find this?"

Wang Yue hurriedly got up and said respectfully: "Return to Yuan Gong." The villain has a disciple, Shi A, who opened a restaurant in Chang'an City, called Hero Building......"

"Hmph, Hero Building." Yuan Shu said disdainfully.

Everyone around Yuan Shu knows that his temperament has always been like this.

When he encounters people or things that don't like his eyes, he has always been merciless and sarcastic, but now this eldest young master's temper has been committed again.

Yuan Yao wanted to speak with a wry smile, but he opened his mouth and didn't dare to speak.

Wang Yue didn't seem to hear anything, didn't care about Yuan Shu's attitude at all, and continued to speak:

"He got it by chance, and he sent it to me." Wang Yue simply explained the calendar.

But Yuan Shu was obviously very dissatisfied, twisted his eyebrows and glanced at Wang Yue, and asked, "It's that simple?" You explain it to me in detail. ”

Wang Yue looked at Yuan Shu and recalled with some embarrassment, and then slowly spoke:

"I heard from my disciple that when a friend of his traveled to Luoyang, he found this thing by chance, but it was precisely because of this thing that he was killed."

Yuan Shu looked at Wang Yue suspiciously, Wang Yue didn't sell Guanzi, and hurriedly continued: "It seems that when that person found this thing, he was discovered by another group of people, which caused the other party to chase and kill. ”

After a pause, Wang Yue continued to speak: "That man killed all the enemies he was pursuing, but he himself was seriously wounded. I finally escaped to Luoyang, found my disciple Shi A, and after giving it to my disciple, he himself died of his injuries. ”

After telling this story, Wang Yue closed his mouth.

Yuan Shu's brows furrowed even tighter, but there was no flaw in this story.

Yuan Shao also worked as a ranger when he was young, and at that time, Yuan Shu also followed for a while because of curiosity.

But after all, he is just a son, and he is just a ranger for fun.

So it didn't take long for him to endure the suffering, but he also clearly understood many things between the rangers.

Therefore, when he saw wealth, he deliberately went out to kill people, and after death, he entrusted his valuables to his close brothers.

Although Young Master Yuan despised these behaviors, he also had to admit that there were many people who would do this.

Nodding, Yuan Shu didn't continue to pursue this question, and continued to ask, "Then why did you give this thing to me?" ”

Yuan Shu stretched out his hand, gently patted the brocade box containing the jade seal of the country, and said indifferently:

"You should also know that this is a treasure that will get you whatever you want wherever it is delivered."

Wang Yue hurriedly saluted again: "Although the villain Wang Yue is not talented, he also understands the truth of Entubao. ”

Wang Yue raised his head, looked directly at Yuan Shu, and said seriously: "Thanks to Yuan Gong's refusal to give up, he not only took in Zaixia, but also appointed Zai Xia to serve as the son's swordsmanship instructor, which is really a great kindness to Zaixia." ”

Yuan Shu nodded with satisfaction and said, "I can't see that you can still have this filial piety, haha, not bad, not in vain, I didn't waste my trust in you." ”

Wang Yue hurriedly claimed that even if he was an official fan, he was scolding Yuan Shu shamelessly in his heart at this moment.

If it weren't for a period of time in front of a petty official, after some exercise, he probably wouldn't have been able to hide his true thoughts.

Yuan Shu didn't feel what kind of feelings his words brought to Wang Yue at all.

On the contrary, he took it for granted, and continued: "But you have done a great job, and I should reward you with some." ”

"A little bit of work, how dare you ask for a reward," Wang Yue hurriedly said modestly.

"Hmph......" Yuan Shu's mocking words came to his mouth, and he swallowed it alive.

Wang Yue's interest in being an official has reached the level of obsession, which everyone knows.

At this moment, in Yuan Shu's opinion, this prevarication seems particularly hypocritical.

But thinking of this treasure that Wang Yue had just offered him.

Yuan Shu finally held back and did not continue to say sarcastic words.

There was some impatience in his expression, and he said: "That's it, Wang Jianshi, now there is no suitable official position for you, first reward you with a hundred taels of gold and two hundred horses of cloth." When you have a suitable official position, I will definitely not treat you badly. ”

Wang Yue hurriedly gave a big salute of thanks.

Yuan Shu's tone just now, and his overflowing demeanor, had already made Wang Yue understand Yuan Shu's attitude.

Suddenly got the heirloom jade seal, Yuan Shu must have a lot to think about.

Yuan Yao was also by his side, and the father and son would definitely have a lot to talk about, and these words should not be something he could know.

Wang Yue's eyesight is still valuable, and he naturally won't continue to stay here to be bored.

After making a confession, Wang Yue turned around and left the back garden.

Not long after Wang Yue left, Yuan Shu turned his head to look at Yuan Yao.

"Yao'er, is Wang Yue credible?"

Yuan Yao pondered for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Although Wang Yue is greedy, he is still trustworthy, and he is also a fair and honest person. ”

Yuan Shu nodded and did not speak.

Although he has many shortcomings, it is undeniable that he was born in the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes after all.

As early as once upon a time, when Wang Yue came to Yuzhou to defect.

Yuan Shu had carefully investigated him, so Yuan Shu knew a lot of Wang Yue's background information.

Yuan Yao is the only seedling under his Yuan Shu's knees, how could he be taught by someone who doesn't know the details.

Therefore, Wang Yue Fangcai's story, at this time, Yuan Shu had already believed most of it.

Yuan Yao stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the surface of the brocade box.

Unsurely, he asked, "Is this really the heirloom jade seal?" ”

Yuan Shu nodded and said, "Although I have never seen this thing up close as a father, I have seen it from afar, so there should be nothing wrong with it." And ......"

Patting the brocade box gently, Yuan Shu sneered.

"Hmph, and in this world, don't say that this thing can't be easily faked."

After a pause, Yuan Shu stood up, stood up with his hands in his hands, and said: "Even if it is really a forged fake, so what, if I Yuan Shu says that it is real, it will definitely be true." ”

Yuan Yao didn't answer, thought for a while, and then asked.

"Father, what should we do with this thing?"

Yuan Shu didn't answer, and slowly walked a few steps beside the stone table.

His brows furrowed, he didn't say a word, and his expression was very serious.

Yuan Yao knew that this was his father's expression when he was seriously thinking about the problem.

He didn't dare to disturb Yuan Shu's thinking out loud, and he himself began to think at this time.

After a long time for tea, Yuan Shu stopped.

His eyes stared at the brocade box containing the heirloom jade seal, and he stretched out his hand and grabbed it tightly with both hands.

There was a strong sense of possessiveness in his eyes.

"Yao'er, what do you think of the general trend today?" Yuan Shu's gaze did not shift, he was still staring at the brocade box, and suddenly asked.

Yuan Yao was stunned by Yuan Shu's question, but he still spoke: "Now that the Han family is declining and the heroes are rising, it is the time for the heroes of the world to make contributions......

Yuan Yao suddenly paused, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "Father wants to return the jade seal to Emperor Han Xian?" But now he is in Xu County, in Cao Cao's hands......"

"Give it back to him? Just because he's a milky kid. ”

"Father......" Hearing Yuan Shu's disrespectful words, Yuan Yao hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it.

Yuan Shu stretched out a hand and stopped Yuan Yao's words.

"I can be said to be able to obtain this thing, it can be said that it is the will of heaven, and it is ordered by heaven, yes, it is ordered by heaven! Even he, a hairy boy, can be the emperor of this splendid world, which is simply a big joke. I, Yuan Shu, came from such a noble background, and now I still sit in such a rich land, and I have countless armor soldiers under my command, why can't I be this emperor? ”

Yuan Shu looked up in the direction of Xu County, and his tone unexpectedly showed a domineering attitude that looked down on the world. Baidu: Read the latest chapter of "The Literature of Lu Bujie of the Three Kingdoms" for free for the first time.
