Huang Zhong flicked the reins of his horse, stepped forward and asked, "What happened?" ”

Since serving as Wang Lei's guard, Huang Zhong has performed his duties conscientiously, and everything has been done carefully. And Huang Zhong followed Wang Lei, and his family also followed the families of Pang Degong and others to the north.

The scout reported: "The soldiers seized a man named Yan Xiang, who claimed to be the chief secretary of Yuan Shu, and asked to see the state pastor. ”

"Check first, then bring it in!"

Huang Zhong ordered to go down, and after a short time, Yan Xiang, who had been inspected, came to Wang Lei's side.

Yan Xiang said: "In Xia Yan Xiang, I have seen Lord Wang. ”

Wang Lei rode on the Emperor of War and said, "Master Yan came in person, is there anything wrong?" When he went south, Wang Lei saw Yan Xiang in Shunyang County and directly determined Yan Xiang's identity.

Yan Xiang bowed and stood and said, "I came down to meet my lord, and I came with the sincerity of the lord." ”

Wang Lei asked, "What sincerity?" ”

Yan Xiang replied, "Yuan Shao sent Yuan Hong, the clan uncle of the lord, to Nanyang County to ally with the lord. ”

Wang Lei chuckled in his heart, did Yuan Shao start to move? This trip to envoy Qu A, the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods all came out, and they all wanted to deal with him. Wang Lei smiled lightly and said unhurriedly: "Yuan Hong formed an alliance with Yuan Taishou on behalf of Yuan Shao, but Master Yan came to see me on behalf of Yuan Taishou. ”

Yan Xiang looked admiring and said, "Lord Wang is really wise, the lord has trapped Yuan Hong in the post station in Wanxian County. As long as Lord Wang arrives in Wan County, Yuan Hong will be handed over to Lord Wang for disposal. ”

Wang Lei shook his head and said, "No, I won't go to Wanxian!" ”

Yan Xiang frowned and said, "The lord has done his best to hand over Yuan Hong to you for disposal. Could it be that Lord Wang thinks that the sincerity given by the lord is not enough? Or did Lord Wang suspect that the lord was trying to murder Lord Wang by spreading false news? Yan Xiang's tone revealed a strong dissatisfaction, Yuan Shu even sold his uncle Yuan Hong, but Wang Lei had a skeptical attitude, which was very unpleasant.

Wang Lei waved his hand and explained: "From Xiangyang to the north, through Zhuyang County and County, then north to Shunyang County and Danshui County, and finally to Wuguan and enter the boundary of Chang'an. If you turn around and go to Wanxian, it will be delayed for a long time. This trip to Qu'a has been delayed for countless times, and now it is November, and we must hurry up and return to Chang'an. ”

After hearing this, the anger on Yan Xiang's face eased slightly.

Wang Lei's explanation also makes sense.

From Xiangyang to Wuguan in the north, you only need to go all the way to the north. Wanxian County is located in the east of Shunyang County, hundreds of miles apart, back and forth, and it is a ten-day trip, and it is normal for Wang Lei not to go to Wanxian County.

Yan Xiang thought about it carefully, and soon asked, "Dare to ask your lord, what are you going to do with Yuan Hong?" ”

After a slight change, Yan Xiang kicked the ball to Wang Lei.

Wang Lei said: "How to deal with Yuan Hong is Yuan Taishou's business." I think Yuan Taishou has a decision. ”

The meaning of Yan Xiang's words, Wang Lei is very clear.

Asking Wang Lei how to deal with it became Wang Lei's request. It is equivalent to that the disposal of Yuan Hong was proposed by Wang Lei, and Wang Lei still owes Yuan Shu a favor, and even this matter has to be counted on Wang Lei's head, and it becomes a hatred between Yuan Shao and Wang Lei. Wang Lei kicked the ball back and let Yuan Shu decide for himself, and it became that Yuan Shu killed Yuan Hong in order to curry favor with Wang Lei, which was a matter for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

Yan Xiang's eyes were solemn, and he secretly said that Wang Lei was not easy to deal with.

After thinking about it, Yan Xiang had an idea.

Yan Xiang didn't give a definite answer, and said ambiguously: "No matter what the lord's final decision is?" When the time comes, the lord will definitely greet Lord Wang in Shunyang County and give Lord Wang a satisfactory answer. ”

Wang Lei nodded and said, "Wait and see!" ”

"Farewell!" Yan Xiang said.

Wang Lei hugged his fists and said: "I worked hard for Master Yan to make a trip, and thank Yuan Taishou for me." ”

Yan Xiang completed his task and immediately turned to leave.

Gan Ning looked at Yan Xiang's departing back, with a look of disdain, and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Shu even betrayed his own clan uncle directly, and he was already scared by the lord. It's a piece of waste, nothing to worry about. ”

Lu Bu said coldly: "If Yuan Shu is sincere, wouldn't it be better to cut off Yuan Hong's head and send it over." ”

Dian Wei said: "General Lu is reasonable, it is better to cut off his head. ”

Zhou Tai's expression was serious, and he continued: "Yuan Hong is Yuan Shu's uncle after all, and Yuan Shu can let people come to report the news, which is already quite good, and he is full of sincerity." However, Yuan Shu is also harboring evil intentions, if the lord kills Yuan Hong, the contradiction with Yuan Shao will be even greater. ”

Wang Lei said with a smile: "No matter what Yuan Shu does, we can just do our own thing and go north as soon as possible." ”

The team set off and headed for Shunyang County.

……

Wan County, post station!

Yuan Hong's face was gloomy, and his eyes flashed with rage. He came thousands of miles to Nanyang County to help Yuan Shao form an alliance with Yuan Shu, and wanted to kill Wang Lei with the help of Yuan Shu's power. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shu refused Yuan Shao's request on the spot, and as soon as he returned to the post station with his front foot, Yuan Shuo's posterior foot blocked the post station and detained him at the post station and was not allowed to leave. Yuan Hong understands the meaning of such a move.

Wang Lei's arrival is the date of his death.

Yuan Hong is not a person who is willing to wait for death, he calmed down and kept thinking about ways to get out. After making a decision, Yuan Hong called the accompanying warrior into the room and informed him of the next plan.

After finishing speaking, Yuan Hong asked again: "Have you remembered all the plans clearly?" ”

"My lord, I remember clearly!"

The samurai in the room, answered immediately.

Yuan Hong nodded and said, "The old man's life is entrusted to your hands; and the great work of the Lord is also into your hands. If you can complete the task of killing Wang Lei, Yuan Shu will not dare to kill me, and the great cause of the lord will be smoother. If he fails, the old man will definitely die, and the great cause of the lord will also be affected. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I'll wait to complete the task."

The samurai's expressions were tense, and their eyes showed the determination to die.

Yuan Hong nodded, waved his hand and said, "Go out!" ”

"Yes!"

Everyone silently exited the room.

Yuan Hong's straight waist was bent, the expression on his face was gloomy, and he sat alone in the room, waiting quietly. Time passed, and at night, the inn was lit up and brightly lit. Yuan Hong sat alone, his eyes reflected the light of the lamp, as if there was a fire burning, revealing determination and fortitude.

The thin hand trembled slightly, and slowly reached for the flickering candlestick.

Grabbing it, Yuan Hong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then threw the candlestick in his hand to the bed.

Oil spilled, and the bed quickly burst into flames.

After a while, the bed burst into flames. A surging heat filled the room. The fire was raging, and the billowing smoke was constantly rising, and the fire soon spread.

"Ahem! Cough!! ”

Yuan Hong was choked by the smoke and couldn't help coughing.

"It's on fire, it's on fire!"

The soldiers in the post station noticed the fire and rushed to the post station with a shout, trying to put out the fire. The soldiers arranged by Yuan Shu around also quickly rushed in to put out the fire. However, when the fire broke out in the room where Yuan Hong was, the rest of the rooms also caught fire.

At night, the post station was on fire, and the momentum was terrifying.

The whole post station was in chaos, and only the cacophony of voices could be heard continuously.
