Chapter 16: Returning with Confidence
After feeling in his heart for a while, Yuan Xi summoned an attendant and asked him to bring Yuan Ping over, after all, he didn't know if his mother would change his attention temporarily, so it was better to take this younger brother with the ability to kill gods away as soon as possible.
After the waiter left, Yuan Xi found a quiet small garden, and after waiting for a while, Yuan Ping followed the waiter to the front with his only maid, Luzhu.
"You go down," Yuan Xi waved his hand to the chamberlain.
"Yes, second son" The waiter hurriedly lowered his head and left slowly.
Yuan Xi looked at Yuan Ping, whose loyalty to him reached 45, and said with a slight smile: "Fifth brother, my mother has promised to let you go with me."
"Really" Yuan Ping didn't say anything, the maid Luzhu had already shouted excitedly, they were in this great general's mansion, it was really too difficult, not only were they looked down upon by the above, but they were often bullied by the minions below, one did not pay attention, and even killed himself.
Yuan Xi nodded, looked at Yuan Ping, who was already trembling, his eyes were red, and he was holding back tears, and said in a gentle tone: "Fifth brother, you have suffered, follow the second brother in the future!" ”
Yuan Ping knelt on the ground violently, kowtowed his head heavily, and a drop of tears ran down his cheeks and fell on the dry ground, making a dripping sound, the grievances he has suffered over the years are too much, if he has a choice, he would rather not have the identity of this Yuan family's son, the green bamboo next to him covered his mouth and kept crying in a low voice.
"Hey!" Yuan Xi sighed, gently helped Yuan Ping up, looked at the face that was sandwiched between sadness, excitement, and trance, and comforted softly: "It's all over, go pack up your things, come with me"
When Yuan Ping heard this, he wiped the tears on his face and said loudly: "No need, second brother, let's go directly, there is nothing worthy of my nostalgia in this great general's mansion."
Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, looked at the trace of hatred flashing in the other party's eyes, and nodded slightly, "It's okay, come cleanly, go innocently, and when you get outside, I will arrange a place for you to live, of course, you can also choose to live with me, my mansion is very big"
Yuan Ping smiled gratefully, "Thank you, second brother, but I'd better live outside!" I really want to be free and unrestrained with Zhu'er and have a good walk on the streets of Yecheng."
After Yuan Ping finished speaking, he suddenly pulled up the wrist of the green bamboo next to him, his eyes were full of love, as if his ordinary face was already the most beautiful existence in the world in his heart.
Lu Zhu was shocked by Yuan Ping's sudden move, and stayed in place in a daze.
"Zhu'er, you are the most precious thing I have been in this general's mansion for more than ten years," Yuan Ping said gently.
Luzhu was suddenly shocked, and his heart was full of emotion, and he only felt that the hardships he had endured over the years were so worthless.
Yuan Xi on the side saw this scene, his face showed appreciation, in such a troubled world where a woman is like clothes, it is rare for Yuan Ping to be so affectionate to a maid, which shows that although he has the ability to kill gods, there is still goodness in his heart.
"Okay, don't show affection here, you guys will have a long time in the future, let's leave early" Yuan Xi smiled.
Hearing this, Lu Zhu suddenly lowered his head shyly, wanting to pull out the wrist that Yuan Ping was holding, but he was really reluctant to wait for this moment for a long time.
A group of three people stepped out of the huge gate of the mansion under the eyes of many guards, maids, and chamberlains in the general's mansion, either surprised or puzzled.
"Second son, do you need to prepare a carriage for you?" After a guard guarding the door unexpectedly glanced at Yuan Ping, he hurriedly asked Yuan Xi respectfully.
When Yuan Xi was about to agree, the sound of hurried horses' hooves suddenly sounded, and he saw Liu Quan rushing over with four or five domestic servants riding high-headed horses.
"Liu Quan" After Yuan Xi saw it, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to the guards on the side: "No need, my servant has already come to pick me up."
"Childe, Madame asked us to pick you up" After Liu Quan dismounted, he hurriedly replied respectfully.
Yuan Xi nodded and said with a smile: "It's really time for you to come, this is my fifth brother Yuan Ping, who will follow me in the future, you can find a place for him to live tomorrow."
"Yuan Ping's son" Liu Quan was immediately surprised when he saw it, he naturally knew that this concubine born to Yuan Shao and the maid, how could the son treat such a person.
When Yuan Xi was about to take Yuan Ping and Luzhu away, a group of officials in the palace suddenly walked out, and after seeing Yuan Xi and Yuan Ping, they also looked surprised.
"Meet the second son, the fifth son" These ministers are all people who know etiquette, even if they look down on Yuan Ping, they will not show it here again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, okay" Yuan Xi returned the salute and said with a smile: "My fifth brother is also an adult, it's time to go out and worry about my father, I have already arranged to be a military marquis in my Iron Guard Battalion, you adults will see it in the future, take care of it"
Everyone was shocked, what is the situation, Yuan Xi would arrange a position for a concubine, but Yuan Xi said so, they naturally agreed to it openly, and hurriedly smiled reluctantly: "Certainly, definitely"
"Haha, then Xianyi will say goodbye first" Yuan Xi waved his hand, jumped directly on the back of a war horse, looked at Yuan Ping, who had been silent and had a calm face, and laughed loudly: "Fifth brother, can you ride a horse?" ”
"Will be a little bit" Yuan Ping nodded in response, and after attaching the green bamboo with a hint of nervousness on his face, he turned over and went up, holding the green bamboo with both hands and holding the horse rope tightly.
"Okay, then let's go" Yuan Xi waved his whip heavily, and after a high horse cry, the war horse galloped out.
Yuan Ping turned his head and glanced coldly at the four golden characters of the General's Mansion on the plaque, and then chased after Yuan Xi with a heavy grip on the horse's belly.
Liu Quan and the other servants also hurriedly mounted their horses and followed closely.
"What's going on?"
"What else can happen, it must be that the second son saw that the fifth prince was too bitter in the house, so he took him there"
"Although the second son does not have the talent and ability of the eldest son and the third son, he is really benevolent"
"It's a pity that these are troubled times, and it is not enough to be benevolent"
Some of the ministers who saw this scene sighed, and some showed deep disdain.
After staying away from the general's mansion, Yuan Ping rode a big horse, gradually caught up with Yuan Xi, turned his head and said, "Second brother, thank you again"
Yuan Xi looked at Yuan Ping, whose loyalty value reached 65, and smiled slightly: "Fifth brother, follow closely"
Yuan Ping nodded heavily, looked at Yuan Xi, who surpassed him again, and said to the green bamboo in his arms: "Zhu'er, we can't find a quiet place to live for the time being, I can see that the second brother has great ambitions, I want to follow him all the time and repay his kindness."
"I understand, Childe, no matter when or where, I will always be with you," Lu Zhu said with a firm face.
Yuan Ping smiled slightly, his eyes suddenly gradually condensed, the momentum on his body was instantly sharp, and the green bamboo behind him suddenly shrank his pupils.
Confident, he finally saw the confident Yuan Ping again, because except for Yuan Shao and her, no one knew that Yuan Ping loved military books since he was a child, dreamed of becoming a general, and at the age of fourteen, he wrote a "Military Treatise", hoping to get Yuan Shao's praise, who knew that it was indeed the crime of reading books without permission, and was beaten up badly, from that moment on, Yuan Ping was completely decadent, and all the books were burned cleanly, and since then he has been in a slump.
And today Luzhu did see the little boy who was a child again, hoping to lead thousands of armies and conquer the world, when Yuan Ping confessed to him, she didn't cry, but at this moment his eyes were indeed red, and tears of excitement flowed down.
"Second brother, wait for me" At this time, Yuan Ping suddenly shouted.
Yuan Xi in front turned his head and smiled, and the two of them ran one after the other, galloping on the wide street, like two eagles in the air, as if they were about to spread their wings and fly into the sky.
