Chapter 29: Don't Spoil the Brotherhood
Necromancy Summoning Level 2 has a fatal drawback.
It can summon necromancers across eras, and can even drive necrons to obtain items from other eras.
It's just that there are strict restrictions on the quantity and quality of items that can be obtained.
For example, instant noodles, Yuan Xu can only get three or five buckets at most each time.
It takes a lot of energy to summon the Necromancy.
There's no way he's going to spend all his energy on a few buckets of instant noodles.
Due to the small number obtained, except for Tian Feng, there are only Zhen Mi and Feng Ji who have the opportunity to taste instant noodles.
Returning to Yecheng, the road to walk is not very far.
Just like when he went to Zhongshan, Yuan Xu walked all the way and walked for many days to reach Yecheng.
After entering the city, the first thing he had to do was, of course, to greet Yuan Shao.
Several days have passed since the Battle of Guandu, and Yuan Shao's body is gradually recovering.
Sitting in the front hall, he smiled and asked Yuan Xu: "Did you pick it up?" ”
"Thanks to my father, I took it back." Yuan Xu replied: "It's just that on the way back to Zhongshan, I encountered some minor troubles. ”
"I've heard that." Yuan Shao frowned: "Even if Cao Mengde is against me, even you have to deal with it." ”
"He used a lot of open guns and hidden arrows this time." Yuan Xu looked contemptuous: "He even tried to provoke me and my second brother." ”
"Provoking your brothers?" Yuan Shao's face was much uglier than just now: "What's the matter?" ”
"Cao Pi went to Zhongshan, and the second brother brought someone to help me, but Cao Cao let Mao Jue mix with him. Fortunately, I solved Cao Pi first, and the second brother returned to Yecheng that night, and didn't let them find a chance to start. ”
In addition to Yuan Shao, some of the Yuan family's staff and generals were also present.
Everyone looked at each other, and they all felt that things would develop in a direction that was not good for Yuan Xi.
Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang were also in the hall.
Yuan Xi's face turned pale.
He had a bad feeling.
If Yuan Xu sued him fiercely and was accused of murdering his own brother, even if he didn't die, he would be able to shed his skin.
"How did you know that Mao Jue was around him?" Glancing at Yuan Xi, Yuan Shao asked Yuan Xu with a cold face.
"My guards have captured him." Yuan Xu replied: "It's just that no matter how he interrogated, he didn't say a word. ”
"Where did you catch it?" Yuan Shao asked again.
Glancing at Yuan Xi, Yuan Xu's face showed embarrassment.
"How?" Yuan Shao frowned: "What else is difficult to say?" ”
Yuan Xu hesitated for a moment before replying, "In the second brother's room." ”
"What's going on?" Yuan Shao glared at Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi hurriedly stood up, bowing his head and not daring to speak.
Staring at Yuan Xi, Yuan Shao urged: "Why don't you speak?" ”
"Father, I have something to say." Yuan Xu interjected: "I think Mao Jue was deliberately arrested in the second brother's room." ”
He exonerated Yuan Xi, but it was unexpected by Yuan Shao.
"Tell me." Yuan Shao motioned for him to continue.
"Doesn't my father think it's strange?" Yuan Xu asked, "When the second brother was here, we didn't find him. When the second brother left, he was still in the room. I always felt that I was deliberately captured. ”
"Mao Jue is a person that Cao Cao values, what is the benefit of being captured by you?" Yuan Shao shook his head: "It's better to investigate this matter thoroughly, it's more reassuring." ”
His eyes fell on Yuan Tan's face: "I'll leave it to you, how long will it take to find out the truth?" ”
The brothers of the Yuan family fought among themselves, with Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang being the most fierce.
Although he and Yuan Tan are brothers of the same mother, Yuan Xi has never stood on his side.
Therefore, Yuan Tan has long held a grudge against him.
Hand Mao Jue into Yuan Tan's hands, even if it's okay, you can find out something.
Not to mention that Yuan Xi did collude with him.
Yuan Xi knew that he wanted something bad, but he didn't dare to speak out against it.
Just when Yuan Tan got up and was about to receive his order, Yuan Xu opened his mouth: "Please take back your father's life!" ”
Yuan Shao was surprised: "Don't you want to figure out what's going on?" ”
"Of course." Yuan Xu replied: "It's just that I think Mao Jue should be handed over to the second brother for interrogation." ”
Everyone present was surprised.
Mao Jue was Cao Cao's trusted advisor.
Although his appearance is not outstanding, it is not easy for him to mix in with Yuan Xi unknowingly.
They all thought that Yuan Xu would beat the water dog, but they didn't expect him to suggest handing over Mao Jue to Yuan Xi.
"Isn't it inappropriate for him to be interrogated by him?" Yuan Shao asked, "Aren't you afraid of covering up the truth?" ”
"I don't think the second brother is in collusion with him." Yuan Xu replied: "The second brother rushed to Zhongshan, and there were one or two thousand soldiers with him. He wants to harm me, and he still needs to borrow Cao Cao's hand? ”
Only a few people know about Yuan Xu's ability, and the excuse he made for Yuan Xi's exoneration won the approval of many people present.
The judge was the first to stand up: "I think what the fourth prince said is reasonable." When a person is handed over to the eldest son, he is afraid that the love between brothers will be ruined. ”
Yuan Shao's face was expressionless, but he was puzzled in his heart.
If you want to talk about Yuan Xu's ability, he who has witnessed it with his own eyes is very clear.
Not to mention one or two thousand soldiers, even if one or two thousand people go to Zhongshan, I am afraid that I can't help him.
He asked Yuan Xi, "What do you think?" ”
has been on the cusp of brothers' struggle for power and profit all year round, and Yuan Xi is not stupid.
He knew very well that climbing up the pole given by Yuan Xu would make Yuan Shao disgusted.
"The child has absolutely no intention of murdering his brother." Yuan Xi replied: "If my father doesn't believe it, just ask my eldest brother to inquire about Mao Jue." ”
The one who doesn't believe in Yuan Xi the most is Yuan Tan.
Sent someone to investigate Yuan Xu, knowing his ability, Yuan Tan didn't believe that one or two thousand people could solve him at all.
He thinks that Yuan Xu excused Yuan Xi because he didn't want to cause trouble.
If you want to win him over, the wicked can only do it yourself.
After making up his mind, Yuan Tan got up: "Since the second brother is trustworthy, I am willing to interrogate Mao Jue." ”
Several sons are vying for power, how could Yuan Shao not know?
Yuan Tan has what he wants, and he also knows it.
Without replying directly, he looked at Yuan Shang: "What do you think?" ”
Yuan Shang was also muttering in his heart.
Since Mao Jue was pushed out, why didn't Yuan Xu take advantage of the victory to pursue, but instead proposed to hand over the person to Yuan Xi......
Confused, Yuan Shang figured out one thing.
That is, Yuan Xu didn't want to make a big deal out of it at all!
Things have developed to this point, and he is also happy to send a favor to Yuan Xi.
"I agree with the fourth brother." Yuan Shang got up: "Second brother has no reason to harm him at all." Give Mao Jue to the eldest brother, you can't find anything, that's inevitable. But the love between brothers is only afraid that it will be estranged because of this. ”
He turned to face Yuan Xu: "The fourth brother can calmly judge and expose Mao Jue's tricks, I admire it!" ”
"What do you think?" Yuan Shao asked everyone again.
Which of you is not a master who is good at reading people's faces?
After figuring out Yuan Shao's thoughts, everyone echoed and agreed to hand over Mao Jue to Yuan Xi.
"Stand down, all of you." With a decision, Yuan Shao waved his hand: "Xu'er stay, I have something to say to you." ”
