Chapter 229: Strange People

Bohai County Bohai County is located in the easternmost part of Jizhou, north of Youzhou, east of the sea, south of Qingzhou Plain County, is the intersection of the three states, in all the states and counties of Jizhou, the prosperity is second only to Wei County.

And such a prosperous county, but the Yuan family is dominant, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Bohai County is the territory of the Yuan family, and now it is Yuan Shao's nominal father Yuan Cheng who is in charge of the Yuan family in Bohai, and Yuan Cheng is also the Taishou of Bohai, the actual ruler of Bohai, well, this is not unusual, Bohai has always been in the hands of Yuan.

Yuan Cheng's character is open, a native of Ruyang, Runan, the eldest son of Yuan Tang, the elder brother of Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui, originally had no children under his knees, and then Yuan Feng passed his concubine Yuan Shao to Yuan Cheng, and Yuan Shao, Yuan Cheng was very fond of Yuan Shao, without the slightest sense of adoption.

In the family, if Yuan Kui values Yuan Shao's talent, Yuan Cheng really has parent-child love for Yuan Shao, in the family, the reason why Yuan Shao was able to step on the Yuan family's power center as a concubine, the biggest reason is that Yuan Cheng is behind the back, it can be said that if Yuan Shao does not have Yuan Cheng's adoptive father, he will not inherit the foundation of Bohai in history, let alone dominate the four states of Hebei.

Yuan Cheng is about seventy years old, since Yuan Tang's death, although Yuan Cheng is not the nominal patriarch of the family, but Yuan Kui and Yuan Feng and others do not dare to disobey any of Yuan Cheng's orders, the eldest brother is like a father, and the two even treat and respect Yuan Cheng as a father.

Yuan Cheng's study: "Xiao Dongzi, did you go back to Bohai to see the old decay?" "When people are old, they naturally miss their relatives very much, although there are hundreds of Yuan clan people in Nanpi City, but they are very far from Yuan Cheng's bloodline, in Yuan Cheng's heart, except for the two younger brothers, only the adopted son Yuan Shao is really regarded as a relative.

"Ahem, go back to the master, the son has not returned to Bohai yet, but someone has come to report in the early morning that the son has arrived in Wei County." The old man who replied was an old man who looked at least sixty years old, the old man's original name was Chen Dong, and he was later given the name Yuan by Yuan Cheng, who followed Yuan Cheng for nearly fifty years, and it can be said that he has followed Yuan Cheng all the way through half a century.

"Hey" Yuan Cheng sighed, looking at the west slowly sinking into the mountains, the sky was getting darker and darker, and his face was melancholy: "It's been another day, hey Xiaodongzi, you are old, I am also old, in the blink of an eye, we have been in this Bohai Sea for fifty years."

According to rumors, the reason why Yuan Cheng has been staying in Bohai is because of discord with Yuan Tang, well, it seems to be related to a concubine in Yuan Tang's later years, otherwise as Yuan Chengyan's eldest son, how could Yuan Kui be qualified to inherit the position of patriarch? However, this is only a rumor, and the parties have not confirmed it.

"Yes, sir, I haven't been back to my hometown in Ruyang for fifty years." Yuan Dong's expression was a little dazed, a nostalgic smile hung on the corner of his mouth, he was old and homesick, this is a common problem for everyone, although Yuan Dong seems to be in good spirits now, but he has also stepped into the coffin with half a foot, who knows how many years he can live?

"Are you homesick?" Yuan Cheng asked out loud with a blank expression.

Yuan Dong shook his head, nodded again, bowed to Yuan Cheng and said, "Although I miss it a little, the place where the master is is Adong's home." ”

"Ahem" Yuan Cheng glanced at Yuan Dong's loyal look, couldn't help but shake his head and smiled and said, "You, your mouth is still as sweet as before"

"Master, Yuan Dong will follow the master even if he dies, not to mention that he is not dead yet." Yuan Dong smiled, his smile was a little ugly, an old man of half a hundred, who would not have a pimple in his heart? But the problem is that the person in front of him is Yuan Dong's master for life, and since the master says that he has a sweet mouth, he can only accept it.

Yuan Cheng's loyalty to Yuan Dong was a little moved in his heart, he nodded, and said with a smile: "In this life, you are honest with the original and the old man, if it weren't for the fact that the original position has not been consolidated, the old man would have been able to rest in peace a long time ago." ”

Yuan Dong frowned, people are old, and the most taboo thing is the topic related to death, but it was Yuan Cheng who said this, so he could only reply helplessly: "The master is only seventy years old this year, and he is still young, and there is no problem in living for another twenty years." ”

"Heh" Yuan Cheng smiled, looked at Yuan Dong and said: "You want to be old and immortal, poke people in the back, don't want to be old, when you are in the first place, I can rest assured that I am in the position of Taishou, and I can enjoy the happiness at home." ”

"Report" Yuan Cheng just wanted to reply, only to see a big man in guard clothes rushing into the study and kneeling on one knee in front of Yuan Cheng, making an arch gesture.

"What kind of system is panicking? What's the matter? If you don't have anything important, see how the old man cleans you up!! Yuan Dong's eyes flashed with a fierce color, and he glared at the guard and said.

Sensing that Yuan Dong's tone was not good, the guard's face turned pale, his whole body trembled slightly, and he arched his hand and said: "Master Qiyu, the big housekeeper, the prisoners who were detained in Dongyuan Dongyuan have been robbed!" ”

"What !!" A burst of heavy drinking came from Yuan Dong's mouth, and I saw Yuan Dong's mouth wide open, his face full of incredulity.

"Bang!!" Yuan Dong, who was furious, stepped forward and kicked the guard to the ground, and shouted: "Find, go and find it, even if you turn Nanpi City over, you will have to arrest the prisoner back to the old man!! ”

"Nuo Nuo villain, let's go down and arrange it!!" Like a lost dog, the guards hurriedly fled from the study and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

"Ahem" Yuan Cheng let out a cough from his mouth, his face was like pig's liver, and he was obviously very angry.

"Pap" Yuan Dong stepped forward and patted Yuan Cheng's back gently, and said softly: "Master, don't worry, this mongrel will definitely be caught, it's all to blame Ah Dong for slacking off, if it wasn't for Ah Dong not sending someone to guard it, how could he let the mongrel escape?" ”

"Huhu" Yuan Cheng glanced at Yuan Dong, and said in a somewhat gloomy voice: "This bastard must be caught!" ”

"If outsiders know about the good things our Yuan family has done" Yuan Cheng's face was blue and white, and his eyes exuded a cold light, as if he had died of his son.

In the south of the city and in the slums, a child who was tied up like a zongzi, ** years old, was thrown on the bed, and there were two people dressed in black standing in front of the bed, one of the two was eight feet very tall, and the other was only six feet tall, very short, it was an anomaly, one of the short Ren took off the mask, revealing a face that looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, but the voice of a middle-aged man came out of his mouth and said: "Dou Gongzi, you don't have to struggle, we are sent by Shenhou to save you!" ”

Hearing the name of the Shenhou, the child suddenly stopped moving, looked at the man who spoke, and saw the man in black who looked like a child, but made a middle-aged man's voice, and there was a trace of horror in his eyes.

Feeling the child's gaze, the man in black showed a self-deprecating smile, stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed, slowly untied the hemp rope that bound the child and said, "It's strange, isn't it?" I'm almost forty years old this year, and I'm still the face of a young child, not old, how many people's wishes, heh"

Feeling that the man in black did not have any malice, the child's eyes calmed down, and after the sealed piece of linen was removed, the child looked at the man in black very indifferently and asked: "Shenhou has no relatives and no reason to be in Xia, why should he be saved?" ”

The man in black smiled, patted the child on the shoulder and said, "Because you have a good sister, don't you?" ”

The child's eyebrows jumped, his fists clenched, as if he had been touched by a nerve, his eyes stared coldly at the man in black, and he whispered, "What happened to my sister Liu Tai??" ”

"Huh?" The movement of the man in black paused, and a cold breath slowly emitted from his body, and his eyes looked at the child coldly and said, "Take care of your mouth, how can you call the name of the god marquis?" Don't know what to do, otherwise Lao Tzu can rescue you and throw you back!! ”

"Die, tell me, what's wrong with my sister, isn't it" The child gritted his teeth, jumped up tremblingly, grabbed the night clothes of the man in black, and said with a look of great grief in his eyes: "Isn't it, my sister is gone, tell me, tell me!!! ”

The house was small and dark, and the child's painful voice kept wandering back and forth in the room, indescribably desolate.

"Smack!"

"Humph!" The man in black snorted coldly, knocked off the child's hand that grabbed his clothes, and said lightly: "Gongzi Dou, now that your sister is in the Shenhou Mansion, it is very safe, so you should consider taking it yourself." ”

The child opened his mouth, and when he heard the good news that his sister was fine, he was so excited that he didn't know how to speak.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, my sister has done too many stupid things for me, it's okay to be okay" After all, it's a child, how can he bear so much, hearing that Dou Qing is safe and sound, the string in his heart was put down, and he sobbed in a low voice.

"Coo" suddenly came out of the child's belly with a strange sound, the child swallowed his saliva, looked at the man in black a little embarrassed and said: "Fang Cai, I offended the words of the god and Mr., I hope Mr. will not blame."

Seeing that the child was obviously hungry, but he was holding on, the man in black shook his head and smiled, looked at the big man on the side and said, "Go get some food, try to be as ordinary." ”

"No! Leader. The big man glanced at the child, there was no expression in his pupils, as simple as looking at an object, then turned around and walked away quickly, ready to eat.

"Heh" to the Han's coldness, the man in black seemed to have long been used to it, looked at the child with a smile, took out a black cloth wrapped in something from his arms and handed it to the child and said: "This item was taken from the secret room of the Yuan family, my brother's surname is Ge Mune, not suitable for meeting the Shenhou, so I will entrust you to hand it over to the Shenhou, remember, this thing is extremely precious, and must not pass through the hands of others, saying this, the man in black paused, and when the child did not refuse at all, when he took the object, he nodded slightly and said: "Tonight, In the next place, I will send my son away, and the next way, this brother will be responsible for taking you to the northern frontier. ”

"En" The child nodded, glanced at the back of the big man leaving, and said to the man in black: "This treasure, the kid will also personally hand it over to the gods, and he will never fail to live up to the trust of Mr., and thank Mr. for saving his life, and the kid will repay Mr. Yu a hundred times in the future." ”

Looking at the child's extremely confident look, the man in black shook his head, with a wry smile on his face, for some reason, just now it seemed that he saw the child's figure rise several times at once, like a big man standing up to the sky.
