Outside the walled city, the firelight hunted, and everyone's eyes were glued to the lighted gate of Wenjiabao. Yuan Xi went in for an hour and still didn't come out. Whether it was Tian Chou or Zhao Yunxu Dayan and others, they all sweated.

In fact, Yuan Xi looked at the old man in front of him and sweated. The old man was so bony that he was about to fall down at the slightest push, but he was bearded and his two sunken eyeholes shone brightly. He was half-lying and half-sitting on a fur-covered sitting, with a smile on his face.

"Second Prince Yuan, please take a seat. The old man is disabled, and I apologize for any inconvenience or rudeness. ”

The old man's voice was very loud and calm, and it could be seen that his physical condition was not bad.

This is the real speaker of Wen Jiabao, the father of the five Wen Qian brothers, Wen Jing, and the word Changgong. Speaking of this Wen Jing, in fact, there is no fame, his father died in his early years, he was poor, and later made some money in business, and after returning to the township, he bought a field and a house, married a few wives, and then became a Tianjia Weng with peace of mind. However, his vision is very good, when Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan fought, he stood in the right place, and when Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan fought, he also stood in the right place. In the entire Wen family, he is a person who controls the general direction. After being disabled and unable to get up, the five Wen brothers became the de facto heads of the family, but some important things still had to pass through him.

This time there was such a big incident, Wen Jing naturally couldn't continue to lie down.

The old man was afraid of the cold, and his body was covered with a thick blanket, which he pushed away a little.

The two sat staring at each other in a huge room, which was also the largest living room of the Wen family. There is a fire burning next to it, separated by a screen, but you can still feel a burst of warmth coming from behind the screen.

"Uncle, you won't ambush the axe men on both sides of here, right?"

"Hehehe......" Wen Jing laughed in a low voice and said, "The second prince has entered the gate of Wenjiabao, what kind of knife and axe hand are you worried about?" ”

Yuan Xi touched his nose. In fact, he was still a little surprised by what happened to him. In his expectation, he would either be captured by the five Wen brothers as soon as he came in, and then threaten them to retreat, or he would bow down and beg him to let the Wen family go. However, neither of these appeared.

Wen Jing said: "The second son dares to enter my Wenjiabao alone, and the old man will toast you for the courage of the second son." ”

With his trembling hands, he picked up the cup in front of him.

Yuan Xi also drank a cup, but felt that it was greasy and greasy, and it was not delicious. Will it be poisoned? Thinking too much, if it's really poisonous, wouldn't it be too much?

Wen Jing said: "Why does the second son think that he will not be killed when he enters Wenjiabao?" Looking at the second son's calm expression, the old man really admired. ”

"It's very simple," Yuan Xi said...... "You won't kill me, kill me, and your Wen family will be mixed up." People always have to live, and no matter how desperate things are, they have to live. ”

Wen Jing said: "But the second prince doesn't seem to plan to give the Wen family a way to live." ”

He seemed to be smiling when he spoke, and a pair of eyes stared at Yuan Xi, if there was substance.

"Hmm...... If you really say that......" Yuan Xi said: "It's not that there is no such meaning, erasing Wenjiabao from Youzhou is enough to kill chickens and monkeys, and in Youzhou in the future, everyone will be able to listen to my words." Otherwise, every once in a while, someone will send an assassin to kill me, and I myself will not be at ease. ”

Wen Jing said: "But why is the second son willing to enter Wenjiabao to negotiate?" ”

Yuan Xi rubbed his nose and said: "Negotiation can always get better results, war is a continuation of politics, only if negotiation cannot solve the problem, violence is needed." ”

Wen Jing said: "The second son has witty words, the old man admires and admires, come, have another drink." ”

Yuan Xi smiled: "Old man, do you want to pour me a few more cups, so that I can forget about the attack on Wenjiabao?" Let's make a long story short, if the people outside are in a hurry, maybe they will attack it themselves, and by that time, they will really have to burn the jade. ”

Wen Jing said: "The old man knows that it is the Wen family who is responsible for this time, how can the second son spare our lives?" ”

Yuan Xi said: "The old man is serious, isn't this still a winner?" ”

Wen Jing sighed and said, "It's divided...... It's early. The identity of your second son Yuan determines the outcome of the outcome. The Wen family is just an insignificant family, even in Youzhou, it can't be seen. I don't know why the second son seems to be very interested in my Wen family? ”

Yuan Xi said: "Maybe...... It's fate. ”

A sentence of fate made the old man's wrinkled face have a wry smile.

The Wen family is willing to obey the words of the second son, and from then on, only the second son will be the first to look forward. The land of the Wen family is the land of the second son, and the people of the Wen family are the slaves of the second son, and the Wen family fort can also be used as the place where the second son can be stationed. It's not just that the second son is in Youzhou for a day, even if Yuan Gong will rule the world in the future, the Wen family will only stand on the side of the second son. I only ask the second son to let us go once. ”

Yuan Xi was stunned, this condition is extremely generous. In negotiations, at the beginning, it was necessary to maintain his bottom line and open his mouth as much as possible, but this old man came up and spread out his hole cards, and to this extent, he couldn't ask for more.

"Old man, are you too modest? Your Wen family has a high spear and a sharp spear, and you still have the strength to fight, so you sold Wenjiabao like this, and when I occupy this place, what should I do if I regret it? Am I not for the sword and you for the fish? ”

Wen Jing said: "If the second son dares to enter Wenjiabao alone, I believe that you are not that kind of person." It's a deal, a peace. ”

Yuan Xi touched his chin and said, "That...... Buy the murderous Wen family boss, can I take it back? ”

Wen Jing raised his voice and said, "The entire Wen family is handed over, isn't the second son still satisfied?" ”

Yuan Xi smiled, and finally knew the bottom line of this old man. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world.

"Father!"

Before he could speak, there was a commotion outside, and a man with a disheveled hair strode in, suddenly knelt down in front of the two, kowtowed, and said: "Wen Qian's life is here, please rule on the second son." I just want to spare the lives of 300 people in my Wen family. ”

Wen Jing's color changed suddenly, grabbed the crutches on the side, and was about to smash it on Wen Qian's body, and said angrily: "What are you doing here?" I didn't tell me that no one should come in! ”

At this time, the other four brothers also came in grabbing and pulling in, and at the same time knelt on the ground, and the second of them said: "I couldn't hold them......"

The young and vigorous old five said: "It's a big deal, let's carry it together." ”

Smack, the crutch was finally thrown out, but it was the fifth Wen Yong who hit. Wen Yong said "ouch", was smashed, covered his head, and stepped aside.

"Get out of the way!" Old man Wen gasped and said, "It's really unfortunate for the family, and you five losers are out...... The names I have given you, Humility, Peace, and Frugality, which of you has done it? ”

Wen Qian's forehead was against the cold ground, motionless, and just said: "The sins are all the children's alone, and the children are responsible for them alone." ”

"Shut up!" Wen Jing scolded: "You are guilty of raiding your family and exterminating your family!" Can you do it alone? ”

Yuan Xi suddenly stood up and walked in front of Wen Qian, and the rest of the Wen family brothers looked up at him one after another, revealing frightened eyes.

Yuan Xi squatted down, touched the top of Wen Qian's head, turned back to the old man of the Wen family and said, "In this way, Boss Wen, I will take it away, and my life will be temporarily stored with me...... Wen Jiabao, I own 40% of the shares. ”

A moment later, Yuan Xi rode on a horse and walked out of the gate of Wenjiabao with Wen Qian, who had been tied.
