Sending Fu Fu away, Yuan Xu drew some lines on the wall.

The lines are connected to form a strategic map.

On the way back to Yecheng, he explored the terrain of Qingzhou.

Everywhere he went, it was in his head.

Yuan Shao decided to send troops, and Cao Cao will definitely respond!

Qingzhou will be the key to Cao Cao's formation of a pincer attack on Hebei.

Yuan Xu was not unaware of the decisive factors for the success or failure of the Battle of Guandu, a large-scale war had not yet broken out, and there was only small-scale friction between the two sides soon after.

It's too early to think about things like the black nest.

In the early stage of the war, it was very important to control the situation in Qingzhou!

"Childe!" Li Jiang's voice came from outside the door: "Miss Nian'er is back!" ”

Yuan Xu looked at the door, and Nian'er, Zhang Shuang, and Mrs. Zhu were standing outside accompanied by Li Jiang.

"Come in and talk." He left the wall where the map was drawn.

Nian'er and others entered the house one after another.

"Suffered!" After saying his suffering, Yuan Xu said to Zhang Shuang: "When I went back to Yecheng, I went to see my father, and I learned that you beat Dong Qing. ”

"She provoked Miss Nian'er, and said that she would expose me and wait for ......"

"Whistleblowing? What to expose? Yuan Xu interrupted her.

"Say that we are complicit in Childe!" Zhang Shuang looked angry.

"My father summoned a certain person to return to Yecheng, and the guilt was eliminated, so how could I say that I was complicit." Yuan Xu said: "If Justice and others come here, they may be killed to set an example." You are only in the city, and your father has the intention to cover it up, and he will not be implicated, who dares to make a big deal about it? ”

"I didn't know about Childe's return." Zhang Shuang pursed her lips.

"Yecheng is complicated, you can't wait for a long time." Yuan Xu instructed Li Jiang: "Early tomorrow morning, escort them to Penglai." ”

Li Jiang hesitated and said, "The eldest son wanted me to ...... with Meng Tai before."

"Meng Tai is here, you don't need to worry."

"Childe wants to drive the slave away?" Nian'er Xing's eyes were round, and she said in a panic: "The slave doesn't make trouble for the son, stay by the son's side, and you can also sew and mend the tea and send water!" ”

"Yecheng still lacks servants?" Yuan Xu interrupted her: "There is something important, you will only hinder here." Don't mess around, I'll rush to Penglai tomorrow! ”

Nian'er's eyes were red, but she didn't dare to cry.

Yuan Xu in her impression has never been so fierce.

In order to drive him away, he even said that there was no shortage of servants.

Yuan guy's room.

A few men carried baskets of vegetables, fruits, and raw meat into the backyard.

Not long after they entered, Yuan Kang walked in with his hands in his hand.

"Fourth son!" Seeing him coming, the people in the room saluted one after another, but they were not necessarily very respectful.

Yuan Kang is also a concubine, and his status in the Yuan family is not prominent.

He was used to the attitude of the Yuan family, and he didn't care too much.

"Who are they for?" Looking at the bucket on the stove, he asked casually.

"These are for Yuan Gong, these are for Madame's......" The housekeeper introduced him one by one.

Although he is a concubine, after all, he is Yuan Shao's son, and the steward does not want to offend him.

Yuan Kang nodded nonchalantly.

"These are for Mrs. Dong."

The steward introduced the bucket with only two clay pots, and Yuan Kang's eyes lit up and asked, "Which Mrs. Dong?" ”

"The concubine of the second son."

When you lift the lid of the clay pot, you will be greeted by the scent of the clay pot.

The porridge in the jar is boiled to a sparse extent, and the smell of the fragrance makes people appetite suddenly.

"The concubine also eats so well? Mrs. Dong is better than my mother's food. ”

"The fourth prince may not know, Mrs. Dong doesn't know what mistakes she made, she was grounded by her wife, but the food was not bad."

"Passing through here, just coming over to have a look!" Closing the lid, Yuan Kang said: "I heard that I have entered some melons and fruits in the Western Regions, and I will buy some for a certain one later!" ”

"Don't worry, the fourth son, I'll send it later."

"Don't delay you and wait to do things, let's go!"

"Childe go slowly!"

Sending Yuan Kang out of the door, seeing his back walking away, the steward pouted.

"Choose some remnants of melons and fruits, and send them to the fourth prince later." When he entered the room, he commanded the servants, "Send the food of every house." ”

More than a dozen servants left the room with their buckets in their hands.

The servant woman who brought food to Dong Qing stopped halfway through.

She looked left and right, and when she saw that there was no one on the road, she quickly got into the bushes on the side, lifted the lid of the clay pot, and sprinkled something into it.

With that done, she walked out with the bucket in her hand.

If you have a slightly poor psychological quality or do something unsightly for the first time, most of them will show nervousness.

Carrying the bucket, the servant woman walked much more hurriedly than before.

"Stop!" As she was walking, two guards stopped her.

"What are you going to do?" Looking at the somewhat nervous servant, one of the guards asked.

"Deliver food to Mrs. Dong."

"What sent?"

"Mushroom minced meat, chicken breast and rice soup."

"Open it and take a look."

The servant woman hesitated and did not move.

The guard stepped forward and snatched the bucket and glared at her to open the lid.

The rich fragrance came to his face, and the guard sniffed deeply.

Closing the lid, he muttered: "The second son's concubine eats so well!" ”

"Let's go!" Sensing nothing, the other guard waved his hand.

The servant woman answered, and raised her feet to leave.

"Wait." The guard who lifted the lid called to her.

stopped, and the servant woman did not dare to move.

Walking around her twice, the guard asked, "Are you hot?" ”

Cold sweat was dripping on her forehead, and the servant woman said, "It must be hot to do things in the quarters." ”

"It's okay to sweat in the room. It's not very hot, and when I came out to see the wind, the sweat should be dry, right? ”

"Slave and maid are ...... weak"

"I'm afraid it's a weak heart!" The guard's eyes widened: "Say!" What exactly has been done? Why is the cold sweat flowing? ”

"Nope! I really didn't do much! The cold sweat on her forehead became thicker, and the servant woman tried her best to defend herself.

"Rong searched for it!" The guards who stopped her had no intention of stopping there.

"That's it, that's it!" Another guard stepped forward and said, "What are you talking about with a servant woman?" It is not to send food to Duke Yuan and his wife. Let her pass, is it possible that someone will still harm the second son's concubine? ”

The alert guard thought for a moment, and what his companion said was not unreasonable.

Dong Qing is just Yuan Xi's concubine, who has nothing to do to harm her?

Looking at the servant woman again, the guard waved his hand: "Go! ”

The servant thanked the two guards politely, picked up the bucket and walked forward.

The guard who played the round said: "This woman is ugly, and my brother wants to touch it?" ”

"It's always weird!" The guard who stopped the servant woman said, "If it were not for the fear in her heart, why would she be covered in cold sweat?" ”

"What can a woman have?" Patting him on the shoulder, the other guard said, "In a few moments, the two of us will be able to hand over, and then the two brothers will have two drinks." ”

Looking at the servant woman who had already walked away, the suspicious guard still felt that something was not right.

People have gone far away, and it is unlikely that they will be called back.

Suspicious, he and his companions continued to patrol the path.
