The winter sun is shining, and the long oblique shadow drags on the ground. Yuan Xi sat firmly in front of his desk, while Zhen Ji was busy in the room, tidying up, her eyes glancing at the two brothers from time to time. Yuan Shang looked worried, but it didn't look like he was pretending. Originally, Yuan Xi didn't want to hear a word about this dead, but this time it seems that even threats were used.

"Hehe, second brother, do you know? The last time I was still in my hands, I didn't stab it, otherwise, with my father's temper, you dare to disobey his old man's orders, even if you are his son, you will not be spared. When the time comes, like a big brother, it will be distributed to a certain place, such as a merge state or a youzhou...... Youzhou is a good place, as soon as Gongsun Chan dies, there will be a lack of a state pastor, and our father must need a trustworthy person. It's cold and freezing, it's a place where chickens don't lay eggs and birds don't, and there are Hu people running around, you won't leave your sister-in-law, and you want to go over there alone, right? ”

These words really hit Yuan Xi's seven inches, and with his temperament, he would not be easily threatened. But if he is really sent to Youzhou, he will not be able to participate in the Battle of Guandu, and then he will not be able to change the course of history. When Cao Cao went all the way north and conquered Yecheng, then the general trend was gone, Zhen Ji was robbed by Cao Cao to be his daughter-in-law, and she could only die in the world. In order to avoid this outcome, he must participate in the Battle of Guandu and use his knowledge of the course of history to prevent this great rout.

With this understanding, Yuan Xi spoke much more politely.

"Sit, if you have something to say, between our brothers, there is nothing that can't be discussed, right? What do you want me to do for you? ”

Yuan Shang exhaled a breath of air, sat down in front of his brother, and muttered, "Second brother, you should have spoken like this a long time ago." I'm not here for my father to take a concubine, it has something to do with you......" Then he made a look.

Yuan Xi glanced up at him, beckoned Zhen Ji and said, "Help me bring the door." Zhen Ji answered, went out the door, and then closed the door, blocking the warm sun outside.

Yuan Shang saw that there was no one else in the room, so he said, "Mother, she is angry...... You also know that my father already had five concubines before, all of whom were single-handedly taken care of by my mother. Among them, when I was pregnant with three of our brothers, I accepted three of them one after another. The other two were accepted when Yecheng was taken, and they were all years ago. For so many years, my father has been busy with political affairs, who knew that he suddenly said that he wanted to take a concubine this time. ”

Yuan Xi said lightly: "This man, it is also a common thing to like the new and hate the old." The father is still heroic, pursuing his own happiness, since there is no rule that the number of concubines cannot exceed one number, then there is no need to care too much. ”

Yuan Shangdao: "The problem is that she is mad, she asked us to find a way, we must stop this fox from entering the door of our Yuan family." ”

Yuan Xi said: "How can this be stopped? The father said that he wanted to take a concubine, can the son not let him accept it? He thought to himself: You are you, I am me, Mrs. Liu usually doesn't take much care of me, if something happens, I can ask you for help. But I couldn't say this casually, I just complained silently in my heart.

Yuan Shang said: "Hey, second brother, don't you have a lot of ways?" So I've come to you to discuss. You don't want to go to the bitter cold land of Youzhou......"

Yuan Xi waved his hand and said, "Okay, you say, how do you want me to help?" ”

Yuan Shangdao: "It's still the second brother who is righteous." The younger brother said it directly...... I've already inquired that this time someone deliberately offered a beautiful woman to my father, and my father was very satisfied with the picture album, so he couldn't wait to take a concubine. Now that vixen is hiding somewhere in Yecheng, as long as we find her, we can cut her in two......"

Yuan Xi was startled and said, "Want to kill?" Then you don't have to. At most, the woman was turned around like a cargo, and she was also a poor person, so there was no need to kill them all like this. Besides, I beg your pardon for not being able to do anything about it. ”

Yuan Shang said: "I know that the second brother is soft-hearted, so it's okay not to kill, just transport the woman out of the city and find a place to hide." When the time comes, I will let the trial match open the city gate, second brother, don't you have someone under you, as long as you have enough manpower, move quickly, and grab people quickly, you will be done. People are lost, and my father can't take a concubine, isn't our task accomplished? Don't worry, when the time comes, my mother will know that it is the second brother who contributes, and she will definitely say a few kind words for you, and promise to write off the previous things. ”

Yuan Xi thought about it, there were still more than a dozen people left in the camp outside the city, and there were enough manpower, so he said: "This method is not impossible. It's just that I have one more condition. ”

Yuan Shang asked, "What other conditions do you have?" It's just to help your own mother, you still put forward conditions? Second brother, what do you want your brother to say about you? ”

Yuan Xi said: "One yard is one yard, the thing is done, and the biggest credit is yours." It's not like I don't know what kind of thing you are. My condition is that once I go south to Yanzhou to fight Cao Cao in the future, I will go with the army to fight. ”

Yuan Shangdao: "How can I help you?" It's not up to me to decide on this matter of dispatching troops. Yuan Shang became a little nervous, frowning and guessing what his brother meant, whether he wanted to grab the battle merits, or if there were other conspiracies, if he wanted to threaten his position, he couldn't agree to anything.

How could Yuan Xi's thoughts let him know, and immediately said, "Don't worry, I don't mean anything else." I just want to lead the camp to the south first, and live up to the trust of General Koji before his death. ”

Yuan Shangxi smiled and said, "Then it's no problem." When the time comes, I will ask someone to suggest a few words in front of my father, with your position as the first to enter the camp, it should be no problem to go out with the army, but whether it is in the main account of the Chinese army, it is uncertain. ”

Yuan Xi said: "Okay, it's done." But who is the concubine that my father wants to take, where is it now, and do you have any news? In addition, do you want to inform the eldest brother, this kind of thing, it is good to have one more person to take the blame. ”

Yuan Shang immediately said: "This is not good, I suspect that the matter of offering a beautiful woman this time was done by the eldest brother." ”

"What?" Yuan Xi was shocked and said, "Big brother did it? ”

He thought about it, and it was really possible. Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang competed for the position, and Yuan Tan was always at a disadvantage, because Mrs. Liu always stood on the side of her youngest son, so that Yuan Tan had no one by Yuan Shao's side. And once the concubine is successful, when Yuan Shao has a new love, Yuan Tan will be able to use this concubine to consolidate his position and weaken the influence of Yuan Shang's camp at the same time. It's really a poisonous plan to kill two birds with one stone.

As Mrs. Liu's biological son, it is really ruthless to be able to come up with this kind of strategy to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle.

Thinking like this aroused Yuan Xi's sympathy. Although this Mrs. Liu is not good in all aspects, she is her own mother. From the perspective of family ethics, a son cannot let this kind of thing happen.

Yuan Shangdao: "As for the people who offer beautiful women, I also inquire clearly." It is a well-known wealthy businessman in Qingzhou, Song Lu. ”

"Song Lu?"

"Yes, Song Lu. This person was originally from the Nanpi Song family. In his early years, he made money by buying and selling copper mines in Taishan County. It is likely that the two only met when the eldest brother captured Dongpingling. As far as I know, this person has no relatives in Yecheng, but he lives in a big mansion, and it is very likely that this beauty is hiding in this mansion. However, it is not clear exactly where they are hiding at this time. ”

Yuan Xi's mind suddenly flashed the beautiful woman he had seen that day, and he thought, it can't be such a coincidence. However, only a woman who can attract Zhao Yundu at a glance is qualified to dedicate herself to Yuan Shao.

"Wait, I know where that woman is hiding......"
