Chapter 49: The Hatred of the Frustrated Bird (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
In the afternoon, Yuan Xi took Gao Lan, Hu Niu'er, Liu Quan, and Li Yong, who had just been received, to finally rush to the gate of Yecheng, only to see that white sails had been hung on the high city wall, and the soldiers had tied white cloths on their heads, and a sad breath immediately rushed to their faces.
"Childe, shall we go directly to Bejiafu?" Seeing this scene, Gao Ran's face was a little ugly, a little sad, and he was very disappointed in Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan, in his opinion, only these two people had the motive to kill the curse, in order to establish his prestige, he actually cut off his arm in the north, which really made him angry, and at the same time, Yuan Shao gradually turned from dissatisfaction to disdain, a lord who was so unfair in rewards and punishments, in order to protect his son, he would rather let the important ministers die unjustly, and he was not worthy of his allegiance at all, at this moment his heart has been completely cast on Yuan Xi's body.
However, Yuan Xi didn't pay attention to these now, and after hearing Gao Ran's question, he immediately reined in the horse's head and said softly: "No! You take Li Yong back to the house first, if the two of us go together, some people will definitely gossip, after you arrange Li Yong, see if General Zhang He has gone, you go with him"
"Yes, please rest assured that the last general will definitely let Brother Zhang He also submit to Gongzi's command," Gao Ran hurriedly promised.
Yuan Xi's eyes froze, and he waved his hand and said: "Jingzhi, you can't be in a hurry, you need to be patient, General Zhang He is different from you, you and I have been friends for a long time, and we cherish each other, and General Zhang He doesn't know me well enough, you just need to make friends with him sincerely for the time being, help each other, when the time comes, it will naturally come to pass, remember not to force it"
"Nuo" Gao Ran's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of admiration.
Yuan Xi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then I'll go first."
After finishing speaking, he waved his horsewhip heavily, and took Hu Niu'er, Liu Quan, and the soldiers of the personal guard battalion to take the lead towards the mansion of the frustrated man.
Gao Ran stopped his horse, turned his head to look at Li Yong, who looked a little nervous on the side, and said with a smile: "Master Li, we are estimated to get along for a long time in the future, I hope you don't care about Ran's rudeness, let's talk about the formation of the military division of Wei County tonight."
A trace of excitement flashed on Li Yong's face in an instant, he was a declining scholar, and now he could be on an equal footing with a general like Gao Ran, but he knew in his heart that all this was only temporary, if he didn't behave well this time, Yuan Xi would immediately beat him back to his original form, or even directly wipe him out.
"General Gao, you are too polite, you are a peerless good general, the arm of the son, if Yong is doing something wrong, although you pointed it out, the system of the military division was not perfect enough, and the general's guidance is needed at any time" Li Yong hurriedly said modestly, although Gao Ran spoke politely, but he can't be proud, at present, in Yuan Xi's heart, a hundred he can't match Gao Ran's finger, maybe only after Wei Jun finishes the military division is formed, can he really become Yuan Xi's important minister.
Gao Ran smiled appreciatively, this attitude made him very satisfied, "Okay, then let's go"
Li Yong nodded, and the two immediately rode their horses and rushed into the city gate with a group of soldiers.
When Yuan Xi took Hu Niu'er and Liu Quan to hurry to the door of the Farewell Mansion, he saw white sails everywhere, bursts of crying kept coming out of it, and the open gate seemed a little empty except for a housekeeper and a few slaves, and it seemed that there were no Yecheng officials to come to worship, and a desperate atmosphere permeated the air.
After the housekeeper guarding in front of the mansion saw Yuan Xi, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly saluted: "Meet the second son"
After Yuan Xi dismounted, he said softly: "Is my father here?" ”
The housekeeper shook his head and replied, "Not yet, I heard that the lord is not feeling well, and he will come over later."
Yuan Xi frowned, "What about the other civil and military forces?" ”
"No, maybe it will be with the lord," the butler said with some sentimentality, once upon a time, how prosperous their other mansion was, there must be no less than ten officials coming in and out every day, and now none of them dared to come in advance.
"Didn't Lord Tian Feng come either?" Yuan Xi wondered.
"Lord Tian Feng hasn't been released yet," the butler said.
Yuan Xi nodded, and hurriedly walked inside, and the housekeeper immediately shouted: "Second son, here!" ”
Hearing this, everyone suddenly looked back in surprise, and it was obvious that Yuan Xi was the first to rush over.
After Yuan Xi stepped into the door of the mansion, a huge black coffin immediately appeared in front of him, lying quietly in the center of the hall, where Frustrated Confession's wife, concubine, and Frustrated Hu were kneeling.
After seeing Yuan Xi's arrival, Frustrated Hu immediately had tears in his eyes, rushed over with sadness, knelt down in front of Yuan Xi, and shouted: "Second son, you finally came back, my father died unjustly!" ”
Yuan Xi's eyes froze, and he said: "What the hell is going on, Xi just went to the military camp to recruit soldiers and horses for a few days, how could Lord Curse be assassinated"
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault, I should always guard my father, so that I won't give the other two sons a chance" Frustrated Hu cried even more, and there was a strong hatred in his words.
Hearing this, I saw an old woman with white hair and a cane, supported by her wife and concubine, slowly walking over, although her eyes were red and swollen, but her pale face still had a hint of majesty.
"Grandmother!" Frustrated Hu turned his head and shouted unwillingly.
"Your father was killed by enemy spies, don't talk nonsense, do you want to curse my family and behead all over the house?" The old woman slammed her crutches in anger.
A hint of surprise flashed on Yuan Xi's face, this old woman is really a smart person, her son was killed, and she can still be so calm, indeed, once Fu Zhi died, the entire Fu family had no capital to resist at all.
Yuan Xi looked at the old woman in front of him, and said respectfully: "Xi visited the old lady, and my Yuan family is also remorseful about the death of the adult, but please rest assured, my father will definitely give an explanation to the cursed family."
"Thank you, Second Son, I believe in the lord," the old woman said softly.
Hearing this, Frustrated Hu couldn't help but clench his fists, the hatred in his eyes not only did not dissipate, but became more and more intense, who to believe, he would not believe Yuan Shao again, if he really knew how to give an explanation, he would not have checked it, what enemy army spies, it was just nonsense, thanks to his father's loyalty to him, without his father's waste of sleep and food to deal with government affairs, prepare food and grass, recommend talents, and stabilize the rear, how can he Yuan Shao unify the north, and now for his son, he is even biased to this extent, He never expected Yuan Shao to kill his two sons, but he had to punish him severely! But now, the two sons are still swaggering at home.
He hates Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's viciousness, but he hates Yuan Shao's partiality even more, he must take revenge!!
"Young master, let the second son put on the incense first!" The butler who was watching the frustrated Hu from the side immediately shouted with worry on his face, now that the frustrated family is dead, let alone fighting against the two powerful sons, even this other mansion may have to be caught.
Frustrated Hu's eyes froze, wiped a handful of tears, and a trace of determination suddenly flashed on his face, and he said respectfully: "Second son, please!" ”
Yuan Xi glanced at it, and was surprised to find that Frustrated's loyalty to himself jumped to 89, nodded slightly, took the incense candle from the butler's hand, and came to the hall in the company of the Frustrated family, looked at the black coffin, held the incense candle, and said loudly: "Lord Frustration, Xi is late to come back, you are a genius of the world, Xiao He of the ancients, the first minister of my Yuan family, has made countless meritorious contributions to the great cause of my Yuan family, without you, there would be no unification of the north, Xi admires you, but the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, I don't want you to be assassinated, this is my father's pain, the loss of the great cause of the north, but please rest assured, my father will not forget it like this, those who assassinated you, my father will never let go, you can rest in peace! ”
After finishing speaking, Yuan Xi knelt on the ground directly under the surprised and moved eyes of everyone, and kowtowed slightly, this head was a manifestation of his sincerity, although no one knew that he killed the curse, but he knew in his heart that a great talent, a loyal courtier fell into his hands like this.
Heroes have no regrets, heroes have no tears, but no tears are not ruthless.
