He had long expected that Hao Zhao would have an overreaction, and Yuan Mai also took a step back and arched his hand: "Don't worry, I don't have any malice." I was sent by Madame Zheng to find you. ”

"Mrs. Zheng? Are you talking about aunt? ”

Hao Zhao is the son of Zheng Yu's sister's brother-in-law, and according to the relationship between relatives, he should call Zheng "aunt".

"It's her, this is Madame's handwritten letterhead to you."

Yuan Mai defused Hao Zhao's hostility in a calm tone, and handed over Zheng Yu's handwritten letter.

Hao Zhao did not let his guard down, took Yuan Mai's letter and took a few steps back, and then hurriedly looked at it through the bright moonlight.

"Oh, it turns out that you are the fourth son of the Yuan Jizhou family, but I can't figure it out, one of you brothers expelled me from the barracks, and even the groom didn't let me do it, and sent his own soldiers to intercept and kill me in the middle of the road. One said that he wanted to reuse me and conspire with me, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd? Holding the letterhead in his hand, Hao Zhao still asked vigilantly.

He is exhausted at the moment, and the opponent's archery skills are terrifyingly accurate, if the other party is here to kill him, he is afraid that he will not be able to live. However, if the other party has malicious intentions, why do they have to do more? This made Hao Zhao a little puzzled by Yuan Mai's intentions!

"Hao Bodao, don't be nervous, let me take the time."

Yuan Mai told today's events at the moment, and described in detail how Zheng Yu offended Yuan Shang's mother and son during the banquet, presumably Yuan Shang expelled Hao Zhao from the barracks in order to vent his anger. It may be that he was worried that killing Hao Zhao would fall into disposition, so he sent his henchmen to ambush Hao Zhao halfway.

In the end, in order to gain Hao Zhao's favor, Yuan Mai added fuel and vinegar to describe it, saying that he and Zheng Yu were indignant about Hao Zhao's secret investment and being put in the stable as a groom, but they were more than willing to do it, not only did they help Hao Zhao, but they offended Liu's mother and son.

"I see, Shi Caizhao's words were reckless, and he collided with the son, and asked for forgiveness. In the past, the son said that he was kind, and Zhao had nothing to repay, but now he took the risk to save Hao Zhao's life, which is more like recreating his parents, please accept Zhao's worship. ”

After listening to Yuan Mai's words, Hao Zhao's suspicion no longer existed, and when he knelt down on one knee, he wanted to thank Yuan Mai.

Seeing that he had won Hao Zhao's trust, Yuan Mai was overjoyed, and hurriedly helped Hao Zhao and said, "Bo Daoxiu should be polite!" ”

It's just that Hao Zhao has a lot of strength, Yuan Mai didn't hold him, Hao Zhao knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, and then got up.

"Alas, although he was rescued by Gongzi, there was no place for Hao Zhao in Jizhou. I can't say it, Zhao still has to go south and take refuge in Prime Minister Cao Cheng's army, in order to gain half an inch of fame. ”

After thanking Yuan Mai, Hao Zhao only felt extremely tired, so he sat cross-legged on the ground and sighed.

Yuan Maisuo's surname sat cross-legged with Hao Zhao: "Bodao's words are bad, with me Yuan Mai, Jizhou will have a place for you Hao Bodao." I have been canonized by my father as a partial general, and I also served as the supervisor of the Northern Expeditionary Army of Liyi, and now I see your skills, I am really a fierce general, I am going to recruit 500 new soldiers, how about you to be the commander? ”

Hao Zhao was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, but when he remembered Yuan Shang's move to put him to death today, he was worried again, and said very discouragedly: "Thank you for your love." It's just that Yuan Shang hates me so much, and the power of Jizhou soldiers and horses is in his hands, and I am only afraid that I will affect you and your aunt. After thinking about it, I'd better go south to Prime Minister Cao......"

At this moment, a hare swept by in the grass, Yuan Mai was quick to move, bent his bow and arrow, shot the rabbit with an arrow, and laughed at Hao Zhao: "Bo Dao's words are wrong, I am already hungry, you and I make a fire to barbecue, eat and chat, listen to me carefully analyze the situation for you, how about it?" ”

"Okay, I just have a pot of turbid wine in my bag, let's drink with the hare, and have a good time."

Hao Zhao laughed and got up, found his bag, took out a sheepskin wine bag from it, then skinned the hare, found a pile of dry wood, made a fire, and the two sat around to roast the hare.

"I've heard that the fourth son is weak, sick all year round, and has no strength to restrain the chicken. When I see it today, it's really ridiculous, Childe's archery skills are really superb, and I admire it. ”

Hao Zhao roasted the hare while praising Yuan Mai from the bottom of his heart.

Yuan Mai smiled and said with a profound face: "People are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads." Liu's mother and son regard me as a thorn in their side, I can only make that look, otherwise, I am afraid that I will not live today. ”

After listening to Yuan Mai's words, Hao Zhao was in awe and admired Yuan Mai's city government. I thought, looking at his young age, he actually has a city in his chest, and with this archery, he can really be regarded as a genius with both civil and military skills. Such a person will be able to do great things in the future.

Hao Zhao handed the wine bag in his hand to Yuan Mai: "Mountains and wilderness, there is no wine glass, if the son does not think Hao Zhao is ugly, let's share the bag to drink!" ”

"Good!"

Yuan Mai agreed, took the wine bag in Hao Zhao's hand and took a big sip. Although it is not very delicious, Yuan Mai knows that he should show a pride at this time, so as to win people's hearts.

"Bo Dao, you just said that you went south to vote for Cao Ying, let me ask you, is there anyone to recommend?"

Yuan Mai handed the wine bag in his hand to Hao Zhao and asked with a solemn face.

Hao Zhao shook his head helplessly: "There is no one to recommend, Hao Zhao can only try his luck." ”

"Bo Dao, the world is as black as a crow. You are here, you have the introduction of your wife and you can't get ahead, where do you go to Cao Mengde, who dares to guarantee that he will definitely reuse you? Besides, Cao Mengde's subordinates are full of talents, good generals are like clouds, and strategists are like rain, you go alone, if you want to get ahead, I am afraid that it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky. ”

Yuan Mai flipped the branches of the tree, and exerted a psychological offensive against Hao Zhao, bent on dispelling his idea of going south to Cao Ying.

Listening to Yuan Mai's words, Hao Zhao also sighed: "Yes, what will happen when you get to Cao Ying?" In Jizhou, there is the recommendation of the fifth lady, I can only be a groom, even if I am a groom, I admit it, I told myself in my heart, this must be God is honing me, as long as I work hard, there will be a time to get ahead. Who knows, in the end, he Yuan Shang didn't let me do it! ”

"As the saying goes, Maxima often exists, but Bole does not often have! Hao Bodao is so capable that he was assigned to be a groom, which is really a pearl. ”

Yuan Mai took the wine bag, took a sip, and sighed loudly. I forgot that this was a verse that had come five hundred years later.

Hao Zhao hadn't heard what Yuan Mai said, but what "Maxima" and "Bole" sounded very unfathomable, it seems that these four sons are really very knowledgeable, Hao Zhao muttered in his heart.

"Bo Dao is a smart man, you know a little. Since you can understand this truth, don't go to Xuchang, stay and help me, let's create a great cause together! If I buy him and say that he has a good future, I will definitely let you Hao Bodao be a marquis! ”

Yuan Mai handed the wine bag to Hao Zhao and patted him lightly on the shoulder, looking like he was dominating the world.

Worship the general? The tone is really not small!

Hao Zhao listened with enthusiasm, thinking that he was the son of Yuan Shao, their old Yuan family was the fourth generation and the third duke, there were many old officials, and in terms of connections, there was no one in the world who was on the right side of the Yuan family. Yuan Shao is now in a high position as a general, supervising the military of Hebei, Qingdao, and the three states, commanding an army of two or three hundred thousand, and the princes are terrified. In the future, it is very likely that the world will belong to their Yuan family.

Although the reputation of these four sons is not obvious, few people know his deeds, although Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang brothers are full-fledged, but this Yuan Mai is wise and foolish, and can disguise himself as frail and sickly, and secretly has a strategy, and is not a simple character, if he has the opportunity, he may be able to break his hands with several of his brothers.

What's more, now that he lacks helpers around him, if I can assist him in achieving a career, I will be a father-level figure in the future, and he will be able to worship the Hou, which is better than following anyone else. If you unfortunately fail, you can only blame yourself for your bad fate!

"Okay, since Gongzi thinks so highly of Hao Zhao, I will reward my confidant with all my skills. It's just that I'm afraid that Yuan Shang will know, first, if I kill his own soldiers, I will definitely not give up with me, and second, Zhao is worried that you brothers will turn against him, and then make Gongzi embarrassed. ”

Seeing that the hare was almost roasted, Hao Zhao cut off a front leg with a knife and handed it to Yuan Mai, then tore off a piece himself, and said while eating.
