Chapter 9: Seeking Death Fulfills Him
Feng Ji asked to see him late at night, and Yuan Shang knew that something was happening.
After a brief freshening up, he headed to the reception hall.
As soon as Yuan Shang entered the door, Feng Ji greeted him: "I've seen the third son." ”
"See me late at night, is there something going on?" Yuan Shang asked.
"The fourth prince went out with Tian Yuanhao and returned to the city just now. I don't know what to do. ”
"Out of town?" Yuan Shang frowned: "What do you think they will do?" ”
"Did Childe go to see him?" Feng Ji asked rhetorically.
"See." Yuan Shang recounted the process of meeting: "Do you think it is possible to bring him over? ”
"It's hard to say." Feng Ji had a solemn face: "Since the reunion in Makino, I feel that the fourth prince is different from the past. ”
"What's the difference?" Yuan Shang asked.
"It's more daring, and it's not like it used to be submissive. It's not alienated from anyone, but it makes people feel like they are leaving. ”
"He didn't intend to be wooed by me, but he didn't refuse?" Yuan Shang's face was not very good-looking.
"You can't go wrong with being careful." Feng Ji replied: "I have sent someone to investigate outside the city, and there will be a reply tomorrow morning." ”
"Send someone to keep an eye on him and find out what he's doing every day." Yuan Shang confessed: "If he has other plans, tell me immediately." ”
"In case it's really ......" Feng Ji wanted to say and stopped.
Yuan Shang didn't speak, but his face was cold and terrifying.
Feng Ji understood what he meant: "That's the case, you have to do it quietly." ”
"If you can't do it, I'll arrange someone else." Yuan Shang said: "There is no turning back when you shoot, you must kill with one blow!" ”
Regarding the inheritance of Hebei, Feng Ji has long stood on Yuan Shang's side.
Yuan Shang's success or failure is related to his future, how can he not take it to heart.
"It's not safe for others to do it." Feng Ji replied: "I will do it, and I will never implicate my son." ”
Except for going out of the city on the night of returning to Yecheng, in the next few days, Yuan Xu's every move was very regular.
Greet Yuan Shao and Mrs. Liu every morning, and then either hang out in the city or close the door to the residence.
The only one who goes in and out of his residence the most is Tian Feng.
Yuan Shang also sees him from time to time, testing whether he can use it for himself.
Every time he saw Yuan Shang, Yuan Xu would be closer.
It's just that there is a degree of intimacy, and Yuan Shang has never been allowed to think that he has the heart to cling to.
The battle of Guandu was defeated, and Yuan Shao issued a military order, requiring Yuan Tan, the assassin of Qingzhou, Yuan Xi, and Gaogan, the assassin of Bingzhou, to rush to Yecheng to discuss how to deal with Cao Cao.
Although Qingzhou is not far away, there are Zang Ba and others eyeing each other, and they are entangled in affairs, and Yuan Tan will return later.
As for the annexation of the state, it is far away from Yecheng, and the days spent on the road are not small.
The first to return to Yecheng was Yuan Xi, the assassin of Youzhou.
The news that Yuan Shao planned to propose marriage for Yuan Xu had reached his ears.
As brothers, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xu waited outside his home on the day he returned to the city.
Seeing Yuan Xu, Yuan Xi's face suddenly turned cold.
The two brothers stepped forward to salute.
Yuan Xi arched his hand, didn't even pay attention to Yuan Shang, and walked directly into the house.
met Yuan Shao, and the brothers went back to their rooms.
Tian Feng followed Yuan Xu back to his residence.
"Here's the trouble." As soon as he entered the door, he said to Yuan Xu: "The second son's face is not good, I am afraid that there will be movements." ”
"If he doesn't do anything, where will we get the chance to do it?" Yuan Xu replied: "What I want is for him to move." ”
"When I asked the lord to propose marriage to the Zhen family, did the prince already consider this?"
Yuan Xu smiled: "Not really, it is said that Zhen Mi is beautiful and well-informed." If I don't marry a woman like this, will it be cheaper for someone else? ”
"To deal with the second son, you can't let the son take action." Tian Feng said: "Once he is cured, it will attract the jealousy of the eldest son and the third son, but it will be troublesome." ”
"What should I do?" Yuan Xu asked.
"Provoke the second son and force him to make a move. Then ask the third prince to mediate. ”
"It's a bad idea." Yuan Xu shook his head with a smile: "Yuan Xianfu had to make a move in order to win me over." Yuan Xianyi has been repeatedly provoked by me, and he can't bite a piece of meat from me, how can he listen? After a few fuss, I can pull out, but they will definitely pinch up. ”
Tian Feng said: "The second son is worried that he has no chance to vent his anger, so it is better to give him one." ”
After seeing Yuan Shao, Yuan Xi returned to his residence in the Yuan family.
There were two generals who followed him back to the house.
One of them had a full beard and a slightly dark face.
As soon as he entered the door, he said: "When I see Yuan Xianxin, I really want to give him an old punch in the face." ”
This person's name is Jiao Touch, and he has followed Yuan Xi for many years.
Hearing that the woman who was originally going to be married to Yuan Xi was robbed by Yuan Xu, he was already indignant.
It's a pity that he is just a general in Youzhou, and his status is low, and he doesn't dare to do anything to Yuan Xu.
Otherwise, he would have jumped out and cut Yuan Xu down a long time ago.
"Give him an old punch and your head will fall off your neck." Yuan Xi said coldly: "If you are favored by your father, who dares to touch him?" ”
"The fourth prince didn't seem to be treated well at the beginning." Another general looked puzzled: "What means did he use in the first battle of Makino?" not only saved the lord, but also became the most favored son? ”
The name of the general who raised the doubt was Zhang Nan.
He has fair skin and a square face, which can easily give the impression of being upright.
But he is a thoughtful person, and he can't be angry with emotions.
"The third son has always been good friends with the son." Jiao Touch suggested, "Why don't you go and ask him." ”
"Don't be that idea." Zhang Nan said: "Judging from just now, the relationship between him and Yuan Xianxin is closer. I'm afraid that even if I ask, I won't be able to find out anything. ”
"You mean, I've been isolated?" Yuan Xi's brows furrowed.
"Judging from the situation just now, it should be like this." Zhang Nan replied.
"In other words, I don't have a chance to let out this bad breath?"
"Of course not." Zhang Nan replied: "The third prince is close to him, but it is just a matter of interest. As long as Yuan Xianxin loses something, he will be the one who will be abandoned. ”
Yuan Xi asked: "Let him lose anything?" ”
"Did Childe pay attention to it, behind him is Tian Feng." Zhang Nan said: "Tian Feng is very strategic, with him, Yuan Xianxin is even more difficult to deal with." Get rid of Tian Feng ......"
As he was talking, a report came from outside the door: "Childe, I have inquired." ”
"Come in!" Yuan Xi showed the unexpected person to enter the house.
Walking in was a guard beside him.
"Our people found out that the fourth prince took Tian Feng out of the city." The Guardian reports.
"Where to go out of town?" Yuan Xi asked.
"It looks like I went to a cemetery outside the city."
Waving his hand to signal him to stand back, Yuan Xi asked Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch, "What do you two think we should do?" ”
"Congratulations Childe!" Zhang Nan replied: "He can't move in the city, since he is out of the city, why don't you let the son slaughter?" ”
Yuan Xi sneered: "Since I am looking for death, I will fulfill him." You two go and do this, make sure you do it cleanly! ”
