After the man left, Yuan Xi looked at the earthen house in front of him, which could only be said to be clean, and the corners of his mouth twitched, but it was better than sleeping in the open air, and they were waiting for themselves here to negotiate terms with their father, just wait.

It's just that I don't know what the specific talks will be, anyway, he hopes that things will go well, and if they don't talk about it, Yuan Xi has reason to believe that they won't pose much of a threat to his father.

Yuan Xi can also think about it, and he doesn't have to have any baggage in his heart, because he is here for the third brother, and whatever conditions are mentioned in the end, they should be added to the third brother's head. I'm sure I'm not going to be blamed or anything.

After sleeping in the open for so many days, Yuan Xi lay on the small wooden bed and soon fell asleep in a daze.

When he woke up again, Yuan Xi was woken up by the sound of the wind whistling outside, and he moved his body on the bed, and the thin blanket on his body was not enough to keep out the cold.

It looks like late autumn has arrived.

Yuan Xi got up with a heavy heart, only to feel stuffy in his heart, and his whole body was more sore than before he went to sleep.

Got out of bed, twisted his body, and suddenly there was a crackling sound of bones, and Yuan Xi twisted his body fiercely for a while, which drove away the fatigue after sleeping.

Pacing slowly, out of the door, the wind was raging outside, the sky was gray and gloomy, the woods not far away were not making a few weird noises, somewhat infiltrating, Yuan Xi did not have a lot of clothes on his body, he shivered from the cold, and couldn't help but shrink into the house again.

"Looks like it's going to rain." Yuan Xi said in his heart, looked back at the thin blanket on the bed, and had the heart to go to the ugly woman to ask for some quilts, and treat him badly if he ate and drank, but if it was cold at night, it would be fatal, and he probably couldn't sleep.

Just when he wanted to go out, he heard a boom, and the sound of thunder sounded outside, which startled him, and then a heavy rain fell from the sky, and a wet chill rushed away.

"The house leak happened to rain overnight." Yuan Xi sighed and hurriedly closed the door, because the house was back, so as soon as the house was closed, the whole room looked extremely dim.

Yuan Xi had no choice but to open the door again, and with the light outside, he found a torch and candle to light it, and then closed the door again.

Leng Ho shrank into the sheet, Yuan Xi lay on the bed in a daze, bored for a while, and didn't know what to do, and there was nothing he could do here, so he could only lie stupidly.

Thinking of the ladies in the mansion who were far away in Yecheng, and I don't know what happened to them now, Yuan Xi felt a little gloomy in his heart, he could save other people's lives, but who could save him now? Although he comforted himself again and again, he also knew that if he went back, it would really take a lot of effort, and he didn't have full confidence.

The candles crackled, and the sound of the rain outside was also crackling from time to time, and Yuan Xi was a little drowsy after just staying on the bed for a while.

There is nothing wrong with sleepy spring and summer lack of autumn naps and hibernation, and the weather is getting colder in autumn, and people are not energetic and feel like they want to sleep all the time.

Yuan Xi took a deep breath, abandoned the cranky thoughts in his mind, and prepared to sleep for a while, mainly because his body was really tired, and he wanted to sleep more, rest and rest, and replenish his energy.

As soon as his eyes were closed, there was a squeak in his ears, and Yuan Xi looked sideways, and it turned out to be an ugly woman.

He hurriedly sat up from the bed and looked at her carefully, the current ugly woman is because she is back, the ugly makeup on her face has been removed, and she has regained her previous appearance, Yuan Xi still remembers the appearance of the first meeting with her, but he didn't expect that the woman at that time still made herself ugly, and the "ugly woman" in front of her was not only more mature than before, but also extremely beautiful, and she was about to catch up with Bian Yu.

, Yuan Xi scolded in his heart, but he pretended to be stupid and said, "Who are you?" ”

"Giggles," the ugly woman laughed coquettishly, the flowers and branches of the straight smile trembled, and Yuan Xi, who was watching, swallowed his saliva, scolded again in his heart, and snorted softly in his nose.

"Second Prince Yuan, do you really not know me?" The ugly woman walked over with her willow waist twisted, and said with a smile: "When you were in front of Zhen's mansion, you bumped into the slave family, it hurts so much, I said Yuan Ergongzi, you are really forgetful." ”

Yuan Xi snorted, knowing that he was pretending to be stupid and was recognized by the shrewd woman in front of him.

Both of them are smart people, and now they are hiding it, and it doesn't mean anything, Yuan Xi simply asked directly: "Ugly...... What is your name? ”

"Zhang Ning." The ugly woman's red mouth was round, and she said with a smile.

Zhang Ning? Yuan Xi chewed silently, and immediately said in shock: "You are Zhang Jiao's daughter?" ”

Zhang Ning's face was slightly gloomy, and he snorted softly: "Little brother, my father's name is not something you call casually. ”

"Hehe, hehe," Yuan Xi smiled dryly: "Great sage and good teacher, great sage and good teacher." ”

Seeing Zhang Ning's complexion improve, Yuan Xi didn't know how many times he had scolded in his heart, but he still said with a smile: "Zhang.... Miss Zhang, you and I don't have river water, what are you doing in Yecheng to make trouble? ”

"Giggles, the well water doesn't interfere with the river water?" Zhang Ning was stunned, then laughed, holding his abdomen and unable to stand up.

, it's just like Bian Yu, Yuan Xi feels that the woman in front of him is too charming, not a woman who is different from each other.

"Little brother, you may not have to deal with the river water with me, but your father doesn't think so," his eyebrows turned, Zhang Ning changed the topic and said: "It's a waste of my tongue to tell you this, come on, good brother, sister will give you some benefits." ”

"Benefits?" Yuan Xi felt that there was no need to ask for it, he was wondering in his heart, after Zhang Jiao's defeat, his subordinates were scattered, and no one knew what troops Zhang Ning led, except for Zhang Jiao's old department Zhang Yan, it seems that there are few other entanglements, right?

"Zhang Yan still obeys your command?" Yuan Xi hurriedly asked.

"Yo, my little brother is very smart," Zhang Ning casually found a bench, sat at the head of the bed, and looked at him carefully, and then praised him: "Although your third brother is more handsome than you, but the skills of the two of you are very different, if Yuan Shao makes you the future lord of Jizhou, we really don't have a head." ”

"How come," Yuan Xi said with a smile: "Rebellion is not a good thing in the end, if I can control Jizhou, as long as you are obedient, I guarantee that you can live well." ”
