"What, my brother who wrote? Did you hear it wrong? ”

After listening to the words of the soldiers, Yuan Mai was a little confused, where did he jump out of a brother, and he was caught by a few patrolling soldiers?

With the identities of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, they would definitely not run to Hanoi in the middle of the night to take the initiative to be arrested by the soldiers, could it be that Yuan Xi was still alive and wanted to seek revenge on himself? It's a pity that no matter in his previous life or in this life, the fourth prince is a staunch atheist!

"It must be a bluff to deliberately bluff you, maybe it's Cao Jun's spies, kill it!"

Yuan Mai learned the lesson of being soft-hearted and letting Gongsun Xu go, and while sorting out the documents on the table, he simply gave orders to the soldiers.

"W-That's not right, we've caught a dozen people, it doesn't look like spies, scouts won't have so many people in company. And ......"

The soldier muttered to defend the person who was arrested, in fact, it was the other party who quietly stuffed him with a piece of broken gold, so that he could introduce him to Master Assassin Shi no matter what, and if it was done, there would be a lot of thanks. That's why the soldier tried his best to speak for the captive.

"And what? Something to say! ”

The soldier bowed and said softly: "The other party is not only a company of a dozen people, but also ...... And he still has the seal of the rear general in his hand! ”

"The general's seal?" Yuan Mai became more and more surprised, where did this group of people come from?

You must know that in the late Han Dynasty, the front, rear, left, and right four generals were heavy generals, and their status was even ranked in front of the four generals. These people appeared in the middle of the night under Huaixian County, carrying the seal of the imperial general. There must be a reason for it, and it seems that I think it is too simple.

"In that case, bring them into the city to meet me! I want to see, what kind of medicine are sold in the gourds of these people? Yuan Mai waved the sleeves of his robe and ordered.

"No!"

The soldiers retreated excitedly, glad that they had finally persuaded Lord Assassin Shi that when they saw this group later, they would first ask for the promised "heavy thanks" from them.

This soldier is not an ordinary soldier, to be precise, he is a team leader. He had fifty men in charge of patrolling the perimeter of the city. Beware of scouts from all walks of life to spy on the military.

Tonight. Yuan Mai urgently summoned Zhao Yun, Wang Shuang, Liang Xi and other generals outside the city, so the city gate of Huaixian County was not closed, and there were 200 soldiers strictly guarded, so this team leader could easily enter and exit.

Hit the horse for a while. The team led the way out of the city. Follow the torch. He found his own soldiers, as well as a dozen men who had been caught.

Truth be told, these people were not arrested. Instead, they took the initiative to stop the patrol and asked to meet with Lord Thorn. The team couldn't withstand the opponent's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and couldn't bear the temptation of gold, so they tried to go into the city to be accommodating. The words he said just now were also confessed by the captured leader, but he didn't expect to persuade Master Assassin Shi.

"If you're lucky, I've managed to convince Lord Thorn Shi to follow me into the city!"

The leader came to the crowd and turned over and dismounted, and said to the young leader as if he had finished his job.

A total of thirteen people were arrested, the leader was about twenty-four or five years old, of medium height, looking fine and tender, full of luxury, but his face was dirty, and he looked like a dusty man.

"Thank you for your accommodation!"

The young leader was excited when he heard this, stepped forward, and quietly stuffed a piece of gold into the hand of the team leader.

The team leader was overjoyed, leaving forty soldiers to continue patrolling, and he took ten soldiers with him to escort this group of people of unknown origin to Huaixian.

After a short time, the group came to the south gate of Huai County. but was blocked by the guards of the city.

An even elder questioned loudly: "What are so many people doing in the middle of the night?" ”

The team leader smiled and bowed his hand: "This brother, I just entered the city to see Lord Thorn Shi, and my lord asked me to take them into the house for questioning, didn't I give your waist card to your army just now?" ”

While he was talking, the soldier guarding the door came over, glanced at the team leader, and reprimanded: "It turned out to be Team Li's leader?" Lord Thorn Shi asked you to take them into the city for questioning, but he didn't say that you should bring them all in? In case these people are assassins or scouts, and you sneak away a few while you're not looking, how many heads do you have? If you want to go into the city, you can take up to three people, and the others will wait at the city gate and wait until dawn to make a decision! ”

When the team surnamed Li heard it, what the military Hou said was right, if these people were assassins and brought them into the city by themselves, if the assassin Shi made a mistake, he would commit a big crime of being beheaded all over the house!

"Thank you for your guidance, I understand!"

The team leader turned around and walked in front of the group, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry for a few people, the military waiting guard at the gate said that at most three people can be allowed to enter the city, and the others will wait for the dawn to talk, you can arrange it yourself and decide who will follow me into the city to meet Lord Thorn Shi?" ”

The young leader consulted with a man who looked a little mighty and was eight feet tall, and decided to take another young man with fine skin and tender flesh and a good appearance into the city.

"Okay, three people are three people, I'm tired of the military master, please lead the way!"

Leaving his retinue to wait outside the city gate, the three men followed the team and his men towards the city, and just as they reached the city gate, they were stopped by the soldiers.

"Take off the baggage in your arms and check it out!" Shi Chang's spear blocked the way.

After listening to Shi Chang's request, the young leader looked embarrassed and said, "Master Jun, you really can't just look at the things in here!" ”

Shi Chang was impatient and rebuked sharply: "What can't you see? Although Lord Assassin has let you enter the city, we also have to do a good job of security checks, what if you have a murder weapon in your baggage? Open it, don't think about going into the city if you don't open it, let Team Li lead himself to explain to Lord Thorn Shi! ”

The man next to the young leader had a slight anger on his face, untied the burden on his body, opened it and shook it at Shi Chang, "If you want to see this, just look at this!" If you look at the contents of that baggage, I'm afraid you won't be able to save your head!

Shi Chang was annoyed when he heard this, and raised the handle of the gun in his hand. I'm going to teach this arrogant guy a lesson. But when I saw a huge seal inside the baggage, on which was written "The Seal of the General of the Great Han Dynasty" in seal script, I was dumbfounded! This is like a squad leader in later generations who saw the commander of the military region, and it is good to be scared to pee, but it is not impossible to be paralyzed by fright!

"Do you want to see any baggage?" The man quickly wrapped his burden and asked rhetorically.

"Don't look at it!" Shi Chang was so frightened by the sudden change that his brain was a little short-circuited, and replied blankly.

"Shall we go into the city?"

Shi Chang bowed: "General, please!" ”

The man and the young leader exchanged a look with each other, followed behind the team leader, quickly passed through the city gate, and went straight to the "Zhenxi General's Mansion".

"Hey...... Hu San. Why did you let them in without checking? ”

The military waiter who had just gone to the convenience heard the conversation from a distance. He shouted and walked over to question the chief. Shi Chang whispered to the face of the military candidate for a while, and the military candidate's face changed, and he no longer spoke.

Zhenxi General's Mansion, Council Hall.

Yuan Mai sat high on the tiger skin seat in the middle. Command the team to bring people in and talk to them. His face was full of beard. Zhou Cang, with a bronze bone and iron arm, stood with a saber hanging from his waist. Responsible for protecting Childe's safety.

"Fourth brother, after ten years, do you still know your brother?"

The three had just been ushered into the council chamber. The young leader shouted at Yuan Mai, who was high above.

"Who is this? Calling me brother as soon as we meet shouldn't be pretending, right? Otherwise, it's just lighting a light in the toilet - looking for death! ”

Yuan Mai stared at the young man at the bottom of the stairs, racking his brains and thinking about who the whole person was, why did he call himself the fourth brother as soon as they met?

The remaining memories flashed through his mind, and Yuan Mai had a vague impression of this young man, as if this person was Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao, but he was not his brother!

"Are you my brother Yuan Yao?" Yuan Mai asked tentatively.

"Oops...... Fourth brother, it's rare that you still remember my brother, I came to you this time, it's so right! ”

Seeing that Yuan Mai recognized himself, Yuan Yao was overjoyed, and tears of joy burst out of his eyes. wanted to come forward and give Yuan Mai a hug, looking at the tower-like Zhou Cang, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he could only stand in place and rub his hands.

At that moment, Yuan Yao told the cause and effect of his sudden appearance in Hanoi, and Yuan Mai explained the ins and outs of the matter in detail.

A few months ago, they followed Yuan Shu to the north to Jizhou, and were defeated by Liu Bei, Yuan Shu couldn't ask for honey, and died of grief and anger. Yuan Shu's men and horses scattered and left, and the desperate Yuan Yao could only take Zhang Xun, Yuan Lian, Yang Hong and other civil and military officials to Lujiang and take refuge in Liu Xun, the Taishou of Lujiang appointed by Yuan Shu.

A few days after settling down in Lujiang, Liu Bei's army suddenly appeared under the city and attacked Lujiang. Liu Xun couldn't resist it, opened the door and surrendered, Yuan Yao and Zhang Xun took their cronies, risked their lives to break a bloody road, and escaped from the Lujiang River.

At the beginning, Yuan Yao planned to go to Yecheng to join Yuan Shao. But thinking about a few years ago, he relied on his father to be the eldest son of the Yuan family, and did not put Yuan Shao in his eyes, and his words were quite disrespectful.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yao thought of Yuan Mai.

When he was a child, Yuan Mai, who was weak, often went to Yuan Shu's house, and Yuan Yao took care of this little brother. When he was down, Yuan Yao thought of this little brother who had sat on the throne of the history of the state and hoped that he could pull himself!

Therefore, Yuan Yao and Zhang Xun took dozens of cronies and entourage, slept in the open air, went out day and night, passed through the layers of Cao Jun's checkpoints along the way, and came to Hanoi after difficulties, asking to see Yuan Mai.

"Brother, I'm already desperate, and I hope that the fourth brother will remember the old love and take in the foolish brother!" Yuan Yao finished the matter, knelt down on Yuan Mai's knees, sobbed a few times, and pleaded pitifully.

After figuring out the reason why Yuan Yao came here, Yuan Mai decided to take him and Zhang Xun in. Yuan Yao has been a civil official, Zhang Xun is a general under Yuan Shu, commanding an army of tens of thousands of people, and now is the time to employ people, these two people will definitely be able to come in handy. What's more, when Yuan Yao was a child, he really took care of himself, and he couldn't be ungrateful!

"Since my brother has come all the way to join me, I naturally can't neglect you! When I first took charge of the merger of states, it was the time to employ people, and my brother and General Zhang could stay and display their talents! ”

The man next to Yuan Yao listened and bowed to Yuan Mai: "Thank you Gongzi for taking him in, Gongzi Yao and I will definitely try our best to repay each other!" ”

Yuan Mai glanced at the other party, saw that he looked majestic, and asked, "This strong man must be General Zhang Xun, right?" ”

The man bowed his hand again: "The last general is Zhang Xun!" ”

"Okay, General Zhang is a usable talent, and he will definitely be useful under me!" Yuan Mai encouraged Zhang Xun, but his eyes were fixed on another young man.

In fact, since the three of them just entered the house, Yuan Mai's eyes were attracted by this fair-eyed little guy, and he secretly glanced at him from time to time. Although he is dressed as a subordinate and his face is dirty, his delicate skin, marked facial features, and watery eyes are still very eye-catching, although he is a man, it is enough to make many women ashamed of themselves!

"If it's put in the offspring, it's definitely a sought-after item for picking up soap!" Yuan Mai looked at the handsome little guy and muttered to himself in his heart.

"I wonder who this son is?" Yuan Mai didn't suppress his curiosity in the end, looked at the handsome little guy, and asked.

The little girl smiled, suddenly took off the green hat on his head, shook his head, and the black green silk was scattered, "I've seen Lord Thorn Shi, you have to call me an aunt!" ”

"Auntie?"

Yuan Mai's mind was confused for a while, and a beautiful aunt fell from the sky, which one is this singing? There is no one in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"! (To be continued......)
