The night was deep, and Yuan Xu's bedroom was lit with a dim firelight.

The dim light of the oil lamps enveloped every corner of the room, and four figures were projected on the walls, swaying left and right with the light of the fire.

Sitting in the same room with Yuan Xuhuan is Zhu Gongdao and Ma's uncle and nephew.

The eyes of the servants fell on Yuan Xu's face, and their expressions were solemn.

"The second brother proposed to suppress the thief, but he was going to attack you!" Yuan Xu said: "A certain guard next to him also has the eyeliner he sent, and every move I am waiting for is under his control!" ”

Shangcai officials were arrested, and Ma's uncle and nephew were excited for a while, but the matter fell on them, but they couldn't afford to be happy anyway.

"How to deal with it?" Ma Yi is young after all, and he is also the most tendonous, blurted out.

"Three choices." Yuan Xu said: "The next strategy is to take refuge in the second brother, but with his temperament, he may kill you and others in order to achieve his goal, and the most important thing is that he doesn't know what his purpose is." ”

"What about the best policy?" Feeling that the feasibility of the next strategy was not high, Ma Fei asked.

"Spread the net secretly and wait and see what happens. Fight back at a critical moment! ”

Zhu Gongdao and the others glanced at each other,

Yuan Xu's so-called best policy is a way to break the net.

There were only three or four hundred people under them, and the Yuan army brought by Yuan Xi was five hundred, plus the county soldiers in the city, they couldn't compete with their strength at all!

"As for the middle strategy, the first strike is the strongest!" Saying the last method, Yuan Xu's expression became more and more solemn.

"Gongzi and Yuan Xi are brothers...... brows tightened, and Zhu Gong said: "I can't come and advance and retreat with us." ”

"I know you well." Yuan Xu said: "Seeing you being killed, how can I bear it!" What's more, do you think he'll let someone go? ”

What shocked Zhu Gongdao and others the most was Yuan Xu's last sentence.

Even his own brothers will not let go, it can be seen that Yuan Xi is unscrupulous in order to achieve his goal!

The road to take refuge in Yuan Xi has been completely blocked!

"How do you cast a net?" After thinking about it again, he felt that only the best strategy was feasible, Ma Fei asked.

"The second brother entered Shangcai, and the soldiers and horses led by him were only five hundred. Those who killed the poor people, kidnapped the Zhen family sisters, and infiltrated the prison are definitely not soldiers on the surface! ”

They were all waiting for him to finish.

"When these people enter Shangcai, they must find a place!" Yuan Xu continued: "There are a lot of people, which should be very eye-catching. You will immediately arrange for someone to investigate their hiding place, and wait until the second brother decides to crack down on the thief. ”

"Obey Childe's orders!" The servants got up and saluted Yuan Xu with a fist.

Nodding, Yuan Xu said: "You wait and go back to rest, in two days, I'm afraid I won't have time to rest anymore." ”

In response, the servants withdrew.

Shortly after they left, Nian'er pushed the door open and walked in.

She held the basin of water, and as soon as she entered the door, she said, "Childe, the hour is not early......"

"Wash up and rest." Yuan Xu took the second half of her sentence, smiled slightly and said: "It's this sentence every time, and I already know how to memorize it." ”

With a red face, Nian'er hung her head.

"It's really not early, it's time to rest!" Stretching his waist, Yuan Xu said: "Since you have you, you don't have to work hard to live, but the life is Shutai!" ”

Carrying the wooden basin to Yuan Xu's approach, Nian'er said softly: "Serving the son is the blessing of the slave and the maid, and the son Shutai, the slave and the maid are happy......

Wring out the wet cloth in the basin, Nian'er said: "The slave maid fetched water, and I saw Guard Li go out again......"

His brows furrowed slightly, and Yuan Xu's face became gloomy.

Seeing that his face was not good, Nian'er hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to wipe his face immediately.

"Do you remember what so-and-so said?" Lowering his voice, Yuan Xu asked.

With her head down, Nian'er pursed her lips tightly.

In the past two days, she always felt that Li Weishi's whereabouts were abnormal, so she had more eyes.

The original intention was only to help Yuan Xu, but he didn't expect it to make him angry.

"Don't talk to anyone in the future!" Seeing that she was silent, Yuan Xu said in an unquestionable tone: "If you feel that anything is strange, you must avoid it as soon as possible, but remember?" ”

The reason why Nian'er was not allowed to observe the guards surnamed Li was that Yuan Xu took her safety into consideration.

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and this is the most important key.

A maid, if she breaks through something that shouldn't be discovered by her, her life is absolutely in danger!

Yuan Xu needed more information about the guards around him, but he didn't want to use a daughter's family to do this!

Whoever should do it, who should do it!

Living safely and steadily is his only requirement for Nian'er!

Kneeling down, Nian'er hung her head on her chest and said, "The slave is just afraid that someone will be unfavorable to the son......"

"I can't worry about you!" Interrupting her almost rudely, Yuan Xu said: "If this is the case again, you won't need to serve here!" ”

"The slave knows her mistake and doesn't dare anymore!" Lying down, Nian'er was a little sobbed.

His heart softened, but Yuan Xu didn't show any intention of compromise.

He knew very well that if he compromised at this time, Nian'er would still go to observe the guards surnamed Li.

A day or two may not be noticed, and after two days, it is difficult to ensure that the other party will not be alerted!

"Remember?" In a cold tone, Yuan Xu asked!

"The slave remembers!" Kneeling on the ground, Nian'er trembled slightly.

"Wait and wash, and then go and rest!"

Yuan Xu's last sentence relieved Nian'er.

Obediently responded, she put the wet cloth in the basin again and soaked it, wiping her face for Yuan Xu.

With his eyes closed, feeling Nian'er's gentle wiping, Yuan Xu had many thoughts churning in his mind.

The guards around him have followed him since Yi Jingcai, and they are all Yuan Shao's people!

It is reasonable that one or two of them will do things for Yuan Xi.

The guard surnamed Li was so careless that he was discovered by a maid, and it was twice......

is so capable, Yuan Xi would actually put him next to Yuan Xu?

Yuan Xu felt strange.

Could it be that the guard surnamed Li deliberately let Nian'er find out that he was acting abnormally?

What is the purpose?

Everything that happened in Shangcai was like a fog, which made Yuan Xu feel like he couldn't get rid of it.

He couldn't figure out many things, although he knew that Yuan Xi was secretly making a lot of ghosts, but he never understood where the intention was?

There is no such thing as a plan without a purpose!

So far, he's only scratching the surface!

Stopping Nian'er from continuing to observe the guards surnamed Li, Yuan Xu didn't plan to arrange manpower to follow up and investigate!

What should happen will always happen, not to mention that he is here, there is nothing worthy of Yuan Xi's special attention.

In addition to Zhu Gongdao and others staying in the courtyard......

"The slave maid fetchs water and burns his feet for the son!" Wiping his face for him, Nian'er put the damp cloth in the basin and said softly.

Yuan Xu didn't say anything, there were still puzzles hovering in his mind that were still shrouded in fog!

At the same time, the courtyard where Yuan Xi lived, the study was still lit with the light of oil lamps.
