Chapter 96: Is Protest Useful?
Yuan Xi looked at the dark city wall, only the lanterns lit at the head of the city shook in the cold wind, and the wind blew on the city gate, spinning back and forth, making a whining sound, and he couldn't help but sneeze.
Yuan Shangdao: "Second brother, this matter is really unexpected, you can't blame me, I didn't expect my father and his old man to come at this time." So be it...... I'll go to the judge and think about it. You settle this woman first, and don't let people find out......"
This kid saw that Yuan Xi's eyes almost erupted with anger, and he was so frightened that he slipped away, leaving only Yuan Xi and his party trembling under the huge city gate.
Zhao Yun lifted the beautiful woman on her back, and the woman was lying on Zhao Yun's shoulder, with a pair of big black and shiny eyes constantly looking around, not knowing what she was thinking. If Yuan Xi hadn't heard her speak before, he really thought that this woman was dumb.
"Brother Yuan, what should I do next?"
Yuan Xi pinched his chin and said, "For today's plan, the most dangerous place is the safest place...... Let's go back to Yuan's house! ”
"Yuan Mansion? Isn't that sending sheep into the tiger's mouth? ”
Yuan Xi looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Why are you so nervous about this woman?" ”
Zhao Yundao: "No...... But we went to great lengths to get her out, didn't we just want her to marry your father? Why is it sent to Yuan's Mansion now? ”
Yuan Xi said: "Don't worry, when the time comes, my father will be angry and order the whole city to search, and he will never think that anyone will hide under his nose." It's called dark under the lamp. ”
Zhao Yun couldn't think of any other ideas, so he could only run with Yuan Xi behind his back. Several people crossed the street in the center of the city and returned to the place where Yuan's mansion was.
As soon as he stepped through the door, Yuan Fu didn't know where to come from. At this time, it was close to Hai, and the family members in the mansion were basically sleeping except for those who were on duty at night, and Yuan Fu, as an old man in his fifties and sixties, slept very early, so he knew that he would be seen here.
"Second son, where did you go so late? Hey, why is Zilong carrying a woman on his back? ”
Yuan Fu has night blindness, and his vision will be cloudy at night, so Yuan Xi is surprised that he can squint and see clearly that it is a woman.
"Yuan Fu, you are mistaken, Zilong is carrying a bag of rice, how can there be a woman? Really...... Zilong, Mi should be carried carefully, don't spill it. ”
"Whoa."
Unexpectedly, at this time, the woman said quietly: "Have you seen the rice who spoke back......" This voice was as soft as a stream, which was beautiful and moving, but it startled Yuan Xi and the others.
Yuan Fu tilted his ears and said, "Not a woman yet?" I hear the voices talking. ”
Yuan Xi sealed the woman's mouth and said to Yuan Fu: "You must have heard it wrong, look, there is no sound, it's all the wind blowing outside." Yuan Fu, if you really want a woman, you can tell me, I can find one for you. After so many years, I have been a child, and I always drink supplements secretly, so it's time to find a woman. ”
Yuan Fu said: "I'm so old, how can I think of women?" When I followed Lord Situ to the north and south, I haven't seen any woman...... Second son, you don't know, I was handsome when I was young, and I can't look down on ordinary women. I still remember, it was spring, when I was in Runan......"
Yuan Xi didn't have time to listen to him review the wonderful deeds of the year, and with a wave of his hand, several people quietly passed by him. Yuan Fu turned his head as he spoke, and several people had disappeared.
ran all the way back to Yuan Xi's yard, fortunately no one else saw it, if there were many people who saw it, and when the time came, it would be troublesome.
Zhao Yun shook the person on his back and asked, "What about this woman?" Brother Yuan, will you send it to your room? ”
Yuan Xi said: "If you send me to the room, your sister-in-law will have to skin me." ”
Zhao Yundao: "My sister-in-law looks quite gentle and virtuous, not like such a person." ”
Yuan Xi said: "No matter how virtuous a woman is, she will also have a fierce side, especially when her territory is violated. Yes, I'll send it to you first, isn't there still a vacant room next door to you? ”
Zhao Yun's house is next to Yuan Xi's courtyard, and it is a guest room for guests to live temporarily. There are several rooms in a row of houses.
Zhao Yun said: "It's all full, and the eldest prince came back with a lot of entourage, and they all stayed." ”
Yuan Xi said: "Then put it in your room first." ”
"That's not good...... I haven't gotten married yet, which doesn't have a good reputation for me. ”
Yuan Xi said: "The girl's family hasn't protested yet, what can you say?" ”
The woman interjected at the right time: "In this case, is it useful for me to protest?" ”
Yuan Xi replied: "It's useless......"
Zhao Yun's guest room is one of the larger ones, which was specially selected by Yuan Xi, since he wants to gather the hearts of his subordinates, he can't be too sloppy in eating, wearing, living and traveling. Putting the woman on the bed, several people relaxed at the same time. The night's actions were full of twists and turns, especially when the city gates were closed at the end, and they almost lost all their efforts.
Zhao Yun cautiously asked, "What should I do next?" Can't this woman stay with me forever? ”
Yuan Xi couldn't make up his mind, and said, "Wait until the city gate opens during the day, and then we will send her out." Yuan Shang, this kid is really, he left behind people and left by himself, which is too irresponsible. If she provokes me, I will still give her to my father, and maybe I can please her. ”
Zhao Yun said: "Absolutely not! ”
Yuan Xi glanced at him strangely again, and said, "Why are you so nervous?" ”
Zhao Yun said: "No, I just think that in this way, Brother Yuan's mother, Mrs. Liu, will definitely not spare you." ”
Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Well, Zilong, you are thinking about things more and more thoughtfully now." ”
He complimented, then turned and walked over to the woman.
The room was lit with a lamp, and the woman's face was flushed. The beauty seemed to be born with an aura, and at this time she sat down, quietly straightened the folded skirt, and looked light again, but her eyelids drooped slightly, looking listless. Anyone who is hijacked will never be elated. At least this woman did not cry or scream, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
Yuan Xi asked, "What's your name?" Who is that Gao Shun? ”
The woman raised her head, looked at him, and said calmly, "Who are you?" What are your intentions in taking your slaves into this place? ”
Yuan Xi said: "You are now my hostage, which hostage have you ever seen ask questions to her captor?" ”
The woman smiled faintly and said, "I don't need to ask to know that you are the second son of the Han general and Jizhou Mu." This is Yuan's Mansion. Anyway, I was going to marry here, and it would be the same sooner or later. Thank you for taking me over in advance. ”
Yuan Xi frowned, knowing that he had inadvertently exposed his identity by talking to Yuan Shang and Zhao Yun along the way.
"Don't be complacent, thinking that if you look a little good, you can enter our Yuan Mansion. A weak woman, can you still run away on your own now? Now that you know, I'm not afraid to tell you that Song Lu dedicated you to my father as a concubine, but our brother couldn't stand it, so he snatched you. If you stay well, we'll send you out of the city tomorrow and find you a safe place. If you want to resist, I'm sorry, I'm going to kill people. ”
Yuan Xi viciously threatened the woman, although he had no ill will towards the woman in his heart. In troubled times, duckweed, the more good-looking a woman is, the more tragic her fate will be. Since ancient times, he has a thin life, and if it doesn't involve his own interests, he doesn't bother to care.
The woman was not threatened by him at all, but said, "You are right, how can a weak woman resist? The slave family had already died once, and they didn't care about dying again. Maybe it's providential......"
Yuan Xi was not in the mood to listen to her rambling anymore, so he gave Zhao Yun an order and went back to the room by himself. Zhao Yun and a few other big men were left, staring nervously at this beauty. Yuan Xi himself is good, and he still wants their lives to keep such a stunner in the middle of a bunch of bachelors.
