Just when Yuan Shuzhi was complacent and didn't take Liu Xin and the others in his eyes, a subordinate ran into the living room. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It turned out that the strong man had already returned here with the fluke faction, ready to report the situation to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu frowned, in his opinion, Chen Tao and his party had already been a group of dead people, and Cao Cao had no reason to let them go.

Now that Chen Tao and his party have returned, Yuan Shu is a little suspicious, could it be that they have betrayed themselves and turned to Cao Cao?

Yuan Shu looked at Yang Hong and said: "Mr. Yang, what is the situation in this matter, with my understanding of Cao Cao, it is impossible for him to let these people go, right, could it be that these people have betrayed me, and now they are being sent back by Cao Cao as an undercover agent?" ”

Yang Hong shook his head without thinking, and said: "Lord, this should be impossible, Cao Cao will not come up with such a stupid scheme, after all, as long as this kind of scheme is a clear-eyed person, he can see through the loopholes... ”

Before Yang Hong finished speaking, Yuan Shu snorted coldly and said with some annoyance: "Oh, do you mean that I'm not as stupid as I am, and I can't even see through this kind of scheme?" ”

A drop of cold sweat appeared on the corner of Yang Hong's forehead, how could he forget his arrogant and small-bellied character.

Yang Hong was in a hurry, and immediately remedied: "Lord, you are too worried, I mean that with Cao Cao's wisdom, how can he not know that the Lord Guild has seen through his conspiracy, so Cao Cao will definitely find another way and come up with some conspiracies, for example, he may have rebelled against one or a group of people, and then in order to hide people's eyes, he released everyone back; Or maybe Cao Cao knew that they were all the lord's people, and Cao Cao was already scared and wanted to reconcile with the lord, so he simply let everyone back, hoping to please the lord. ”

After listening to Yang Hong's explanation, Yuan Shu nodded with satisfaction, got up and said: "Mr. Yang, what you said is very reasonable, but hearing is false, seeing is believing, let's go and see these people who came back, what kind of rhetoric they have." ”

After Yuan Shu finished speaking, he walked out of the living room first, Yang Hong shook his head helplessly, and followed; And Yu Shi and Le hurriedly followed.

After the strong man returned, he found a few people to take care of the unconscious Chen Tao, and then he waited for Yuan Shu's arrival with the luck faction.

When Yuan Shu saw the strong man, he said unceremoniously: "Li Rong, what the hell is going on, haven't you all been arrested by Cao Cao, why have you all escaped now, didn't you do something sorry for me?" ”

Li Rong is that strong man.

As soon as Li Rong heard that Yuan Shu was suspecting that he was a traitor, he immediately opened his mouth to explain: "Young Master Yuan, how could we betray you, after we were caught by Cao Cao, we never revealed your name, Young Master Yuan." ”

Yuan Shu smiled and said impatiently, "Who knows? Anyway, why are there so many people missing, didn't I send more than 30 people out, why are there more than 10 people now? And what about that Chen Tao, why is he gone? ”

Although Chen Tao has just taken refuge in Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu's image of Chen Tao is still very good, after all, Chen Tao is also a clever person, very good at figuring out his own thoughts, and the most important thing is that Chen Tao's family has given him a lot of money, and promises to come to honor himself every year.

Li Rong immediately told Yuan Shu everything that happened before, but those escapees were also Li Rong's brothers after all, so Li Rong didn't say that they were all ready to escape, but just said that they were separated from his group.

As for Chen Tao, he was exaggerated by Li Rong as a hero who would rather die than give in.

Yuan Shu touched his chin and said with some surprise: "You mean to say that some people still confessed my name, and these people also knew that they had done something wrong, and they had no shame to come to see me again, so they all ran away now?" ”

Li Rong nodded helplessly, and said: "Yes, they are all greedy for life and afraid of death, and in order to save their lives, they chose to betray Young Master Yuan, so they all chose to escape." ”

Yuan Shu smiled coldly, turned back to Yu She, and said: "Yu She, you take a team of people to set off quickly and arrest those bastards who betrayed me, if you can't catch me, you will arrest their families for me, I want them to know what will happen to those who betray me Yuan Highway!" ”

Yu Shi nodded and took the order.

Yang Hong originally wanted to persuade Yuan Shu, but looking at the sneering Yuan Shu, Yang Hong had to sigh and remain silent.

Yuan Shu looked at Li Rong and suddenly said, "Anyway, how can I believe that none of you have betrayed me?" ”

Li Ronghan was like rain, and immediately knelt down and said: "Please also ask Young Master Yuan to be clear, we are all extremely loyal to Young Master Yuan, and we have not betrayed Young Master Yuan in the slightest from beginning to end, we are all ready to die for Young Master Yuan!" ”

Yuan Shu shook his head with a smile and said to Yang Hong, "Mr. Yang, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Yang Hong was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Lord, I think there is something strange about this matter, Luoyang Prison is the most heavily guarded place in Luoyang except for the imperial palace, how could Li Rong and these unarmed prisoners escape so easily?" ”

Yuan Shu nodded, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, you are right, I have also been in this Luoyang Prison a few times, and I have also been an official in Luoyang Prison for a period of time, and I know a little bit about Luoyang Prison, even if Li Rong and them are fully armed, it is impossible to be so easy, and they have escaped from Luoyang Prison without casualties, not to mention that Li Rong and them are unarmed?" ”

As Yuan Shu spoke, he suddenly pulled out his saber, put it on Li Rong's neck, and said in a cold voice, "Li Rong, do you have anything else to say?" ”

Before Li Rong could speak, Yang Hong preemptively said: "Don't be impulsive, I think what Li Rong said is true, they shouldn't have betrayed the lord!" ”

Li Rong thought that he would definitely die, but he didn't expect that this would turn around, and Yang Hong would actually speak for himself.

So Li Rong cried out repeatedly.

Yuan Shu frowned, put the sword into the sheath, and asked with some doubts: "Mr. Yang, what do you mean, don't you suspect that Li Rong and them are lying, why did they start talking for Li Rong and them again?" ”

Yang Hong shook his head and said seriously: "Lord, I mean that Li Rong and they are not lying, but Cao Cao set up a bureau and deliberately released Li Rong and them, otherwise how could Li Rong and them escape from Luoyang Prison?" ”

Yuan Shu pondered for a while, and felt that what Yang Hong said was reasonable, so he said: "Mr. Yang, what you said makes some sense, why do you think Cao Cao did this, it should not be good for him to do this." ”

Yang Hong shook his head and said seriously: "The lord's words are wrong, Cao Cao's hand can be said to be very ingenious, he has already passed the traitors who were interrogated before, and knows that it was the lord who shot at him, so it is meaningless for Cao Cao to interrogate the remaining people." ”

"So, Cao Cao pretended that Luoyang Prison was on fire, and specially transferred the jailers and officials to give Li Rong and them a chance to escape smoothly, so that they could..."

Yuan Shu didn't wait for Yang Hong to finish speaking, then interrupted: Can Cao Cao do this any good? I think Cao Cao is doing this completely to the detriment of himself and others. ”

Yang Hong was not annoyed by Yuan Shu's rude behavior, and continued: "Lord, listen to me, Cao Cao has many advantages in doing this, the first is the discord plan, let the lord start to suspect Li Rong and others, and kill Li Rong and others with your hand, so that he can fight bloodlessly, not only avenge Li Rong and others for attacking him, but also do not have to bear the reputation of a cool official." ”

"Second, Cao Cao already knew that Li Rong and the others were the lord's subordinates, and Cao Cao understood that although the lord could not risk the world's condemnation to save Li Rong, these "bandits", but Cao Cao was also afraid of completely offending the lord, after all, this was more than 30 people, how could the lord not go back to the field? So Cao Cao was afraid of the lord's retaliation later, so he took the opportunity to release Li Rong and others, and then united the first one, Cao Cao wanted the lord to kill Li Rong and them! ”

"As for the last point, it's just my personal guess, Cao Cao probably already knew that the lord was forming a private army, so after Li Rong and the others were released, he arranged for someone to follow Li Rong and the others, wanting to know the location, and Cao Cao could send someone to monitor this place in the future to grasp our movements."

After listening to Yang Hong's analysis, Yuan Shu couldn't help but nod and said: "Mr. Yang is right, Cao Cao is insidious and cunning, scheming, and often does such despicable and shameless things, Mr. Yang, how do you think we should deal with it now?" ”

Yang Hong had already thought of countermeasures in his heart, so he immediately said: "First of all, this compound of yours can no longer be used as our base camp, and we must find another place as our base in Luoyang." ”

"Second, the loyalty of Li Rong and the others is obvious, they can all swear allegiance to the lord, although the mission failed today, but please don't blame them, I think they should be rewarded for their loyalty."

"Finally, those traitors who have betrayed the lord, I think that the crime is not enough for their families, and if they cannot be caught, then do not punish their families, so as not to chill the rest of the brethren."

Yuan Shu nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay, just do what you said Mr. Yang, Li Rong, you will go to the account office to receive a reward later, and distribute it to the brothers here, and by the way, let the others pack their luggage, and we will change places tomorrow, I still have a courtyard in the west of Luoyang City, and it will be good to live in it directly when the time comes." ”

"However, I love you and disagree with Mr. Yang's last suggestion, I also understand the truth that the crime is not as good as my family, but these people have touched my bottom line, since they want to betray me, then they must be prepared to be retaliated by me, they themselves ran away, then let their families atone for their crimes, so that others will understand what the price of betraying me Yuan Highway is!"

Yuan Shu said to the end, his eyes were full of madness.

Yang Hong, who was standing behind Yuan Shu, shook his head helplessly, the matter has come to this point, this is all he can do, since Yuan Shu does not listen to his advice, there is nothing he can do.

As for Li Rong and others, now they are finally relieved, it seems that they have escaped today, and they have really fulfilled the old saying - if you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing in the future; I didn't expect to get a bounty.
