Linzi is now an eventful time, but fortunately, there are some pleasant things, so as not to make Lu Bu, who has just recovered from a serious illness, go crazy.

But now the entire general's mansion is in chaos because of Lu Lingqi's "discomfort", not to mention the Yan family and Diao Chan, and even because of Cao Bao before, he was depressed all day long, and even the Cao family, who didn't dare to look up close when Lu Bu woke up, his face was rarely better.

As early as the beginning of Qin Xu and Lu Lingqi's marriage, Yan had already made full "preparations", secretly making small clothes and buying small toys, which could almost be piled up. It's a pity that even Cai Yan's lower abdomen has risen, but Lu Lingqi has not moved, which really makes the Yan family have a lot of complaints about Qin Xu and the others. So much so that when Qin Xu went to Hebei with Lu Bu, the most unhappy people, the daughters of the Qin Mansion, had to be ranked behind, and the Yan family, Qin's old mother-in-law, was really anxious.

As Lu Bu's wife, Yan, who gave birth to Lu Bu's only daughter, never interfered in military and political affairs, that is, he interceded for his rebellious cousin Wei Xu, which rarely swayed Lu Bu's thoughts, but after still achieving the love of being a sister, he persuaded Lu Bu, who also had the heart to forgive Wei Xu at that time, to act impartially, which shows that Yan's temperament is actually the most peaceful. But in this matter, the Yan family, who is not very old, is more concerned than anyone else. Gradually, there is also a tendency to develop from a model of a good wife and a good mother in Qin Xu's eyes to a dissatisfaction with Qin Xu. The most intuitive thing is that even if Lu Bu is seriously injured and unconscious, after Hua Tuo's skillful hand treatment of the injury is stable, every time Qin Xu comes to the mansion, the Yan family has to talk about Cai Yan's stomach. The nagging on the side made Qin Xu cry and laugh.

But now it's finally good. Under Cai Yan's resentful urging, Qin Xu experienced an almost instinctive reaction to defend and counterattack Lu Lingqi. finally cultivated "again" to achieve positive results, perhaps because of the ruthlessness that has been practiced by Lu Lingqi in the past two years, and Qin is no longer the weak and stiff person who came when he first came, and once again showed the magic skill of "must be hit". While full of joy and self-absorption, he also successfully diverted the attention of Lu Bu, who was suppressing his emotions.

Lu Bu's mansion made chickens fly and dogs jumped because of the urgent preparations of the Yan family and Diao Chanpo, and Cai Yan, Gan Qian, Mi Zhen and others who got the news. I also rushed over. Cai Yan showed grace at this time, glanced at Qin Xu, and pulled Lu Lingqi, who was a little helpless. He followed Yan into the inner courtyard. Only Qin Xu was left alone to face Gan Qian, who looked at him with anger and disgust, and had the best personal relationship with Lu Lingqi, and was full of envy at the moment. Eyes follow Mi Zhen who is like the back of Lu Lingqi who can't even walk.

It's the hardest thing to be graced by a beauty! Gan Qian's resentment is the same as Mi Zhen's envy. made Qin Xu really feel like he had become a sinner. Quickly shook his head, seeing that the injury had just healed, but he was also "abandoned" on the side, his father-in-law Boss Lu, was standing with his hands behind his back and looking at the sky with an emotional look, his form was quite lonely, but Qin Xu seemed to have found a savior, and left this strange place under the pretext of talking with Lu Bu and the military plane.

"Boy! ...... "If you want to get close from behind and hide Lu Bu's detection." It was really a very difficult thing, even if Lu Bu's strength was only seventy percent back now. But he could also throw Qin Xu several roads, and when Qin Xu was still quite a distance away, Lu Bu had already withdrawn his unfocused gaze, and spoke in a deep voice, but he only glanced at Qin Xu deeply, and there was no follow-up.

"Lord, the previous General Cheng Lian led the flying cavalry battalion to sit in the plain, Xu has marched and ordered General Cheng to collect and release the line, in case there is no more Liu Bei from the Bohai Sea to attack the old thing, of course, at this moment is the time of chaos in Hebei, it is expected that Gongsun Zhan, the old enemy of the Yuan family, intervened, the second son of the Yuan family, when there will be no more generosity ...... before" I don't know how long I haven't been called so "intimate" by Lu Bu. However, Qin Xu could also see that because of the change from Lu Lingqi, the strong anger on Lu Bu was lost because of the long-term bedridden, and coupled with Lu Bu's tone, it really made Qin Xu feel a little flattered. However, the excuse that Qin Xu came over from the two girls just now was on business, and it was not easy to make it too fake.

"That's it! I didn't ask you that! What do you want to talk about these trivial matters? After listening to Qin Xu's words, Lu Bu's face was still a little unpredictable, but he turned dark, glared at Qin Xu, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Ling'er is such a big thing, why don't you care about it?" Be careful, if there is any accident, hum! Beware of a certain Fang Tian painting halberd! ”

Well, just now because of the war in Hebei, I was about to turn my face when I saw it, but this time it became a "trivial matter", and even the typical threatening words were taken out again. Qin Xu slandered in his heart, but the person in front of him was also his father-in-law, but he had to make a teachable look on his face, just because Lu Lingqi was pregnant, he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, but it was still difficult to escape Lu Bu's eyes, which inevitably made Lu Bu's face a little darker.

"Bongxian! How are you still pestle here! The body is just right, so I don't know how to cherish it? "In Fuzhong, no, looking at the entire Linzi and Qingzhou, it is the world of the Han Dynasty, and the only one who dares to speak to Lu Bu like this is the Yan family. It's just that before Lu Bu relaxed his expression, he heard Yan Shi say again: "But it seems that I have heard someone say, like you who have been lying on the sickbed for a long time, you should also be more active, or not, some time ago, I made some small clothes and selected soft silks for our grandchildren with Diao Chan's sister to prepare for diapers, and you go and take them out and order someone to wash and dry them again, you have to hurry up, I don't worry if you don't stare at the next person to do it!" ”

"Hmmm! It is true that this matter cannot be faked...... Not! Ahem! Lu Bu's originally dark face turned a little red, and he subconsciously responded, but suddenly found that Qin Xu was still on the side, so he kept silent. However, it seems that the Yan family really did not treat Qin Xu, the precious son-in-law, as an outsider, and this command did not mean to avoid Qin Xu at all. But it really opened Qin Xu's eyes. I am really looking forward to this world's number one general, the hero of the world who once shocked the princes of the Eighteenth Route outside the Tiger Prison Pass, holding a diaper in one hand and waving Fang Tian's halberd in the other, but even the eyes of the threat to Lu Bu are not so stunned.

Lu Bu inadvertently showed the true colors of a good man under the ferocity. Of course, Qin also has to show that he wants to study hard, at least to show his mother-in-law that he is not. When the city of Linzi rejoiced because of the good news of Qin Xu and Lu Bu, the news that Lu Bu had recovered from his "illness". It has also been disseminated through various channels through the means of some people, adding a few more variables to the already increasingly chaotic situation in the Han world. And just when Lu Bu and Qin Xu, the first and second figures in the world-shaking Lu Bu army, were fighting with the small belly pockets and diapers that they didn't know when they could be used, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, who were entrusted by Qin Xu to the two brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, who were thousands of miles away in Yecheng. But they were sitting opposite each other, holding the Qingzhou intelligence that had been rushed back from six hundred miles in their hands, and they looked at each other with a wry smile on their faces.

The battle situation in Hebei. Because of Lu Bu's withdrawal and Gongsun Zhan's joining, it became more and more chaotic. Cao Cao, Er Yuan, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei, and Montenegro are almost all envoys. Differentiation and co-optation. The combination of vertical and horizontal can be described as the erosion of the war situation. Without Lu Bu's constraints, Cao Cao had to shrink part of his troops in Bingzhou to beware of the previous big losses in Jizhou Yecheng, but it was also the back road of the raid of the Black Mountain bandits who had not lost much vitality, and at the same time, he had to always pay attention to Yuan Xi's movements and attitude, and the movements of Liu Bei's defeated army near the Dangyang Pass between Jizhou and Bingzhou. At the same time, the subtle changes in the relationship between the two Yuan brothers were affected by the matter of Yuan Shang, the youngest son of Yuan Shao, who had previously relied on Lu Bu to enter Yecheng alone. It was originally because Yuan Tan had a good attitude towards the previous arrogant things to "admit mistakes". And Cao Cao's army, which stationed his army near Shangdang, also had to be much more cautious in his actions.

And the result of the current situation is complicated. In the end, Gongsun Zhan, who was the most reluctant to get involved in this chaos, was dragged alive by Liu Bei, whether in terms of the number of sergeants or combat power, because of his condescending attack, he temporarily gained the upper hand.

But Gongsun Chan seems to be under the scenery, but in fact, there are unspeakable hidden. Because of the chaos in Hebei and Gongsun Zhan's participation in the war, the northern Xiongnu, Beidi and other alien races who had to shrink their heads to protect themselves were also showing signs of imminent action. Moreover, Gongsun Zhan's fellow clan in Liaodong, who is also an old enemy of Gongsun Du, is estimated to have seen the emptiness behind Gongsun Zhan, and has the idea of moving. This is not to mention that Youzhou is bordered by Bingzhou and Jizhou, and Cao Cao's soldiers and Yuan Shao's family background are not easy to get along with. Not to mention the horizontal insertion in the territory of Youzhou. The nearest part of the hinterland of Hebei, in fact, is only more than 300 miles away from Qingzhou Plain County, which is almost equal to facing the enemy on all sides. In general, it is actually a sentence, the battle situation in Hebei is frozen.

This stalemate is the hardest thing for people in the game to suffer. It's really not very pleasant to be restrained by each other and unable to advance or retreat. Behind Cao Cao there are courtiers who love to make trouble, and behind Gongsun Zhan there are aliens and old enemies who are ready to move, not to mention Liu Bei and the defeated Black Mountain thieves who are caught in the cracks, and the second Yuan brothers who are just brothers but have attracted so many jackals, tigers and leopards. In contrast, although Lu Bu was plotted by the villain and suffered for so many days, but in the big picture, he also withdrew his useful body from this quagmire, at least, with Lu Bu eyeing him outside, then the people in Hebei's big chessboard can't be said to be much more cautious.

Now Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi are facing such an embarrassing situation. At the beginning, I was still worried that Lu Bu would be like the previous treatment of the former Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, calculating Yecheng. But who would have expected that Lu Bu would inexplicably withdraw to Qingzhou when the wind was going well, and only then did the news come that the world's number one fierce general would have such a decay, and he was fundamentally injured by the villain. And because of this incident, Qin Xu, who took Linzi as the center and returned from Jiangdong victoriously, led the large-scale transfer of the entire Lu Bu army. In the eyes of the vast majority of onlookers, including the Yuan brothers, together with the chaos in Linzi that was already full of rumors at that time, they all believed that it was the beginning of Lu Bujun's rebellion. After all, in that case, Qin did not first stabilize the morale of the army in order to consolidate the power gap caused by Lu Bu's inability to see things, but such a fanfare action, in the eyes of others, was no different from setting himself on fire.

But before the two brothers could figure out what kind of expression to show, Yuan Shang was even thinking about whether to take his mother Liu, Tian Feng and Fu Zhi, the two national scholars left by Yuan Shao, out of Linzi, when Qin Xu, Jia Xu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zang Hong and others came. With thunderous means, he cracked the chaos caused by Cao Bao and expelled Kong Rong from the country in public. Before anyone could digest the news. The news of Lu Bu's "recovery" came one after another. This series of almost confusing news made almost everyone feel overwhelmed.

"Xianfu, you say, since this Lu Bu is now recovering from his injury, how much can he do about the alliance with my Jizhou at the beginning?" After the past with the Montenegrin thief Zhang Yan, Yuan Xi's temperament became more and more cautious, and he saw that his third brother Yuan Shang only cared about drinking. From time to time, Yuan Xi, who showed a wry smile on his face, and Yuan Xi, who didn't have much idea in his heart, put down the wine and asked.

"What do you mean, brother?" Yuan Shang was not in a hurry to answer Yuan Xi's question. sighed lightly and asked Yuan Xi rhetorically.

"At the beginning, Lu Bu almost hid from everyone, and after retreating to Qingzhou due to injury, he was Zhang Liao, the commander of the cavalry battalion of Lu Bu's army who stayed here. But at the behest of someone from that Qin. I just withdrew from Yecheng. You say that if you ask them to fulfill the contract, does it seem that you and my brother are incompetent? Yuan Xi was playing with the wine, and it seemed that his attention was all on the wine in the bottle, but the corner of his eye was looking at Yuan Shang's expression.

"Brother, doesn't he have the best of both worlds?" It is said that tribulation can promote human growth. Although Yuan Shang is much younger than Yuan Xi, what he has experienced, whether it is being taken captive by Montenegro or what happened to him after Yuan Shao's death. It was by no means smooth, as early as when Yuan Shao was still around. The second son of the Yuan family, who has already obtained the favor of almost all the government affairs departments of the Yuan family, is much more. Therefore, after listening to Yuan Xi's pointful questioning, although his second half-brother was sitting opposite, and his mother Liu could be trusted, Yuan Shang still buried his true emotions in his heart and asked in a hesitant tone.

"This ......" For his third brother, who was the most favored when Yuan Shao was still alive, Yuan Xi's heart still occasionally flashed a little sour. Moreover, now that the Liu family is in Linzi, there are also the two most "greedy" strategists of Yuan Xi's subordinates back then, and Yuan Xi is really a little worried about Yuan Shang's position. After all, Yuan Shang came with Lu Bu's army, although the soldiers of the Lu Bu Army's cavalry battalion who stayed in Yecheng at the moment had already withdrawn from Jizhou, and Yuan Shang's attitude had already been expressed in front of people with a heart, if Yuan Shang did not know how to draw a line with Lu Bu's forces, and took the Liu family back to Jizhou according to his thoughts a few days ago, Yuan Xi really didn't dare to speak too clearly. Looking at Yuan Shang's inquiring gaze, Yuan Xi pondered for a long time, and finally considered the words, and said with a dry smile: "Xianfu is too high to be a brother." At present, there is chaos in Hebei, and my father has left a good foundation for you and my brother, which is coveted by countless thieves, and my brothers are really incompetent, so they can only watch and do nothing. This is the hatred of the brothers! But the current situation is stronger than people, and temporarily avoiding its front is actually a means to save one's life and wait for it to come. This one...... You see, before you and my brothers were single-minded, the choice was Lu Bu, who was stronger in battle, of course, this decision was made thanks to your vision, and it really made the foolish brother who almost committed the crime of giving up the foundation to the thief, and his face was tight. Just ......"

"Just what? Between Shang and his brother, what else can't be said explicitly? Brother, just say it! Yuan Shang's eyes were still confused, but in Yuan Xi's eyes, he was almost scolding his mother. It's just that Yuan Xi couldn't figure out what Yuan Shang was thinking for a while, but at this point, he could only continue to talk hard.

"The foolish brother doesn't hide it. You also know that at present, Hebei is in chaos, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei, and Montenegro thieves are all bound to win Yecheng, and my Yuan family's rebellion against Yuan Xiansi has also coveted Yecheng for a long time, but right now, with more than 10,000 people in your hands and me, even if there are elite halberds of my Yuan family controlled by General Junyao, it is really difficult to compete with hundreds of thousands of thieves! Yuan Xi saw that Yuan Shang was still unmoved, and a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes, but he had already said this, and he could only continue to force a relaxed smile and said: "But people's words are cross-current, and they show their true character as heroes." At the beginning, Brother Yu saw Wen Hou's bravery and atmosphere, and to be honest, he was also very moved, otherwise he would not be so happy to give out the defense of Yecheng, therefore, if Brother Xian can write a letter, please Wen Hou come back to help you and my brother continue to guard Yecheng, Brother Yu naturally raised his hands in agreement. But now, although it is said that Qingzhou is in turmoil, this kind of thing will not be finished for a while. Just those who jumped out during the period when they were seriously ill were enough to be busy for a while. Besides, even if Wen Hou responded, the military horses moved. The operation of grain, grass and military funds will not be enough to succeed in two or three months. Can...... But you and my Yecheng. Can't wait! ”

"Brother, did you get any news?" Seeing Yuan Xi's unnatural expression, Yuan Shang finally moved his expression, put down the wine in his hand, and asked with a chuckle: "Brother just said that the vicissitudes of the sea show the true character of a hero, could it be that there is a hero who has shown kindness to you, brother?" ”

"This ...... Xianfu, this is actually just a suggestion from others! Yuan Xi obviously didn't expect it. Yuan Shanghui asked this directly, and he was originally going to think of a big set of rhetoric in a roundabout way, but he was forced to be blocked by Yuan Shang's words. After a long time, he showed a somewhat embarrassed smile and said.

"If it is based solely on the number of troops and the total combat strength, those who can compete with the army of Wenhou Lu Bu are the first to occupy the advantage of geographical advantages. Condescending to peek at Gongsun Chan in Hebei. It's just that my Yuan family has been fighting with the Gongsun clan for a long time. That Gongsun Zan is a big deal again, if he hadn't been involved in the war in Hebei by Liu Bei this time, he was afraid that he would still live his free life in his Yijing City. However, now Gongsun Zhan's strength seems to be the strongest, but in fact, he is also the most dangerous, that is, you and my brother go to go to the same place, and they can't say that they are also cannon fodder, but it is not enough to take it! Yuan Shang chuckled. actually talked to Yuan Xi and said, "Let's talk about Yuan Tan." If you vote for it, not to mention how the world will treat my brother and Shang, just about my father's violent death, I am afraid that it will be a big blow not only to you and my brother, but also to the entire Yuan family. My Yuan family can choose the emperor to follow the dragon, can follow the general trend and seek rebellion, and can even be called the emperor widow, but this filial piety must not be lightly touched! Presumably, my brother should know this, too. So, heh! Except for the Duke of Yanzhou who was ordered by the Son of Heaven to be subordinate, presumably Liu Bei, Montenegro and the like are not in the eyes of their brothers, right? ”

"Oops! Xianfu! Virtuous brother knows me! Belch...... Then you see ......" After listening to Yuan Shang's words, Yuan Xi was like a long drought and a rainy day, he suddenly patted the case and stood up, and was about to take a few steps forward to exchange "experiences" with Yuan Shang, but he was unprepared to see Yuan Shang's expression that seemed to be smiling, and immediately noticed his gaffe, and immediately stopped, quite embarrassed to find something to say.

"Brother, I'm afraid I have already gotten the letter from Gong Cao!" Yuan Shang had a "master" attitude, and seemed to know everything about Yuan Xi's every move, and even Yuan Xi's thoughts and actions in the next step were all under control, and he slowly picked up the wine in front of him, took a sip, and asked as if he didn't care: "Brother doesn't have to show me the letter, Shang only asks brother, on the letter from Cao Gong in your hand, is it agreed that your brother will always be the lord of Jizhou, and share the inheritance left by his father with Yuan Tan of that state?" And he also promised to uphold the banner he played when he came, in accordance with the will of the Son of Heaven, to mediate the war between his brother and Yuan Xiansi? ”

"Xianfu! You...... How did you find out? Oh! Xianfu rest assured, for you, Cao Gong also made it clear in his letter that there is an arrangement, if you are not willing to guard Jizhou with Brother Yu, Gong Cao can arrange for you to enter the court as an official, and the position is definitely not under Qin Xu, Lu Bu's son-in-law! A look of surprise flashed on Yuan Xi's face, as if he never expected that his third brother would know the general content of the letter in his chest at this moment. If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't left since he received the letter, Yuan Xi really doubted whether Yuan Shang had secretly read the content of the letter. However, Yuan Xi obviously misunderstood Yuan Shang's original intention, thinking that what Yuan Shang was worried about was where he would go in the future, so after listening to what Yuan Shang said, he squeezed out a very sincere smile on his face, and hurriedly said.

"Brother!" Yuan Shang seemed to have expected Yuan Xi's remarks, and immediately shook his head with a chuckle, and said: "People say that good birds choose trees to perch, and good ministers choose the lord to serve, and Shang will never stand in the way of his brother's future. It's just that there is still a word, but it is not unpleasant, if there is anything that makes my brother dissatisfied, I hope that my brother Haihan will be one! ”

"Oh? Brother Xian, please have something to say! The indifference expressed by Yuan Shang, in Yuan Xi's eyes, understood Yuan Shang's intentions a little, and his tone became cold. After all, I have said this, and I have made the cause and effect of the matter clear. In the final analysis, being a brother can already be regarded as benevolent and righteous. After all, the current lord of Jizhou is him Yuan Xi and Yuan Xianyi, if Yuan Shang does not agree, he will save his life in the end, and it can be regarded as a brotherhood.

"Cao Gong should have said this to Yuan Tan, right?" Regarding Yuan Xi's coldness, Yuan Shang also seemed to be expected, and he didn't care, and asked lightly.

"So what? Cao Gong adhered to the will of the Son of Heaven, and this time he came to mediate a war with the thief of Yuan Tan. Since it is mediation, it is natural that it will not be said to only one person. What's so strange about it? Yuan Xi slowly returned to the table and sat down, holding the wine in his hand, and said without raising his head: "Xianfu should no longer take the words that his father's inheritance cannot be lightly divided. I heard about the separation of the folk brothers, and they still have their own preferences, although the Yuan Tan thief is suspected of killing his father, but after all, he is the son of my Yuan family, and he has merged with the state, and he is not out of human affection. But it's you, heh......! But Xianfu rest assured, as a brother, you will never let you have another day of falling. ”

"It seems that my brother is moving for Cao Gong, and he is willing to make the shield against Gongsun Chan for Cao Gong!" Regarding Yuan Xi's rapidly changing attitude, and his performance after revealing Cao Cao's kindness, the wry smile on the corner of Yuan Shang's mouth became even stronger.

"Didn't Xianfu think that Lu Bu was good?" Hearing the irony in Yuan Shang's words, Yuan Xi finally cooled down, sneered, and said, "Who is Lu Bu?" The tiger of the world, a man of little grace and unrighteousness, even if he became a general because of his peerless bravery, in the final analysis, he was just a small official, and he was not a person from my Yuan family. But what about Cao Gong, that is the son of the former imperial lieutenant, after Cao Shen, the founding minister of the Han Dynasty, and he is a close friend with his father, so he is an elder for me! How can they deceive each other? Besides, Xianfu said that Cao Gong wanted to use me as a shield, so Xianfu knows how Lu Bu got Xuzhou, and what happened to Tao Qian? O Xianfu! After all, my brother is a few years older than you, but I can't ignore good people because Lu Bu and Qin Xu may have a little favor for you! Xianfu must not forget, you were in the hands of black mountain thieves that day, and you experienced all the insults, whose handiwork was it! ”

"Since the elder brother has made up his mind, the younger brother has nothing to say, before parting, he just advises the elder brother, the difference between attachment and annexation is so great that it is not a fantasy to know, I hope the elder brother still thinks twice! If you are not strong enough to drink, please withdraw for the time being! Yuan Shang shook his head with a wry smile, seeing Yuan Xi, who had just looked like a brother, friend and brother, but because of the news from Qingzhou and Cao Cao's message, he was cold, and he didn't stay much at the moment, so he said goodbye to Yuan Xi.

"The Yuan family has come to this point, the road ahead is clear, Xianfu, you have to think twice! I don't send it! Yuan Xi closed his eyes and groaned, suddenly let out a sneer, and said as if talking to himself at Yuan Shang's departing back. (To be continued......)
