Chapter Forty-Nine: The Zhao Brothers and Sisters

Seeing Zhao Qi's vigilant gaze, Yuan Mai was not worried about revealing his identity.

Now that someone has been found, the others don't matter, sooner or later his identity will be known by the Zhao family, sooner or later, there is not much difference, today is to be tied up, and Zhao Yun's family is also to be taken away!

"There was originally a letter, but I met a black mountain thief on the road, and I lost it in a hurry!" Yuan Mai stood in the courtyard and replied calmly.

Zhao Qi's expression became even more suspicious, he clenched the hoe in his hand, and asked in a deep voice, "Since the letter is lost, can there be a token?" ”

"The token is also lost!" Yuan bought a stall and spread his hands, looking helpless. Anyway, no matter what you want, I said that if you lose it, see what you can do?

Zhao Qi snorted: "There is neither a letter nor a token, how can I believe that you were sent by Zilong?" What's more, when Qiu Tianzilong came back to the province last year, he said that it would be difficult for Gongsun Zhan to become a big thing, and he was afraid that he would not serve under his account for a long time, so he ordered us not to go to Youzhou. What you say is clearly nonsense. ”

Since his face was exposed, Yuan Mai also opened the skylight and said something bright, laughing and saying, "Haha...... is worthy of being the brother of General Zilong, and he really has some insight. Since this is the case, I will tell the truth, I am Yuan Mai, the fourth son of Jizhou Mu Yuan! ”

Zhao Qi's face was gloomy when he heard this, in the end he was approached by Yuan Shao's people, since Yuan Shao's sons have gone out in person, there will definitely not be only one person, it is estimated that there are soldiers waiting outside, and today it is definitely difficult to fly, and the hoe in his hand was slowly thrown to the ground.

"Qi Wen said: 'Two armies are at war, each for its master; Fight before the battle, and don't affect the family'. When Zilong took refuge in Gongsun Zhan, he was not hostile to Yuan Jizhou. Later, the two armies competed, and it was not something that Zilong could control, but he was just loyal. Although my family is a relative of Zilong, we are law-abiding, farming, and have never had any contact with the Gongsun forces. If so, you will die! ”

After listening to her brother's words, Zhao Zhi's face turned pale, and she realized that she had caused trouble. How can this kind-faced son deceive people? He just said that the world will be peaceful in the future, how can he deceive people? couldn't help biting his lip, looking at Yuan Mai with an aggrieved face, tears flowing down his cheeks.

Yuan Mai smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao doesn't have to worry too much, who said that I came here to ask for sin?" A few days ago, General Zilong went to Xuzhou to send a letter to Liu Bei, but he was arrested by mistake. I cherish his martial arts, I can't bear to kill him, and I want to take it for my own use. But General Zilong was very stubborn, and he just refused to surrender. I heard from my entourage that his family lived here, so I went out of my way to visit Mr. Zhao, and I hope you can go with me to Yecheng and persuade Zilong to return to obedience. ”

Zhao Qi had heard Liu Bei's name from Zhao Yun's mouth, and knew that Zhao Yun admired Liu Bei very much, and the important activities between Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei were all connected by Zhao Yun. I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet? It is not impossible for Zhao Yun to be caught, otherwise how could Yuan Shao's son come to the door?

"Zilong was caught? His surname is very ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to persuade him, besides, everyone has their own ambitions......" Zhao Qi asked tentatively with a look of doubt on his face.

Yuan Mai looked disappointed, and reprimanded bitterly: "I don't kill General Zilong, I cherish his martial arts and love talents." General Zilong refused to submit, because he abided by his loyalty and loyalty. And you, as an elder brother, do not think about your brother, it is for unrighteousness and stupidity! ”

"My Yuan family is the fourth and third duke, since my father took charge of Jizhou, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people want. If you can farm here with peace of mind, not be affected by the war, and have enough food and clothing, isn't it all thanks to the protection of my Yuan family? Today's father has a million under his command, and he will be listed as a thousand, and those who will become great things in the future must be my Yuan family! Is it comparable to Gongsun Zhan's puppetry? In less than a year and a half, the army will attack Youzhou and kill Gongsun. Now it is the opportunity for Zilong to abandon the dark and turn to the light, and Zilong is obsessed with loyalty and obsessive, which is understandable; Thou art a brother, don't you persuade him? ”

In the end, Yuan Mai said in a sloppy voice: "Since Mr. Zhao refused to persuade Zilong to say a few words, he took his leave." If you still remember brotherhood, please go to Yecheng to collect Zhao Yun's body in a few days! After speaking, he made a gesture of brushing his sleeves and leaving.

"Huh? Do you really want to kill the second brother? Zhao Qi was taken aback and fell to the ground.

Zhao Zhi almost fainted, took a few steps forward and knelt down in front of Yuan Mai, hugged her legs and begged: "Son, be gracious, spare my second brother's life, the little woman is willing to let it be called." ”

Seeing the delicate beautiful girl kneeling in front of her and crying, Yuan Mai felt a little pity for the jade, held Zhao Zhi's two jade hands, and pulled her up, "I also pity General Zilong's ability and want to take him for my own use." It's a pity that General Zilong is arrogant and has a very bad temper, since I can't take him for use, I have to tear and behead...... Horse, slash the hero with tears! You can't let the tiger return to the mountain, and raise the tiger to leave trouble, right? I'm also forced to be helpless! ”

"Big brother?" Zhao Zhi raised her head and glanced at her brother fiercely.

Zhao Qi sighed helplessly and asked, "I don't know if I can persuade Zilong?" But since Childe said so, I'll follow you to try it, right? If Zilong is willing to submit, can Gongzi really guarantee that Zilong will not die? ”

"Haha...... Of course, a gentleman says that the horse is difficult to chase! Yuan Mai succeeded in flickering, and happily pulled up the Zhao brothers and sisters.

Zhao Zhi said to Yuan Mai with rain: "The second brother has a tight temper, I'm afraid the eldest brother won't be able to persuade him." Can you let the little girl accompany you? May I persuade the second brother? ”

Yuan Mai thought to himself, if you don't say go, I will take you with me. With a wave of his sleeves, he said: "I can't ask for it, let your brother and sister go together, I believe that General Zilong will definitely be able to repent and abandon the darkness and turn to the light." ”

"Childe, wait a minute, let my brother and sister pack their bags, and set off with Childe!" Zhao Qi gave a salute and summoned his wife to help pack up his clothes and dry food.

While the Zhao brothers and sisters were packing their bags, Yuan Mai went to the outside of the hospital and instructed Fan Hu to get a carriage back quickly, whether it was to grab or buy, he must prepare a carriage as quickly as possible.

Fan Hu was ordered out of the village, and happened to see a carriage passing by on the post road outside the village, so he brought his troops forward to surround him, and after some intimidation, he bought the carriage for 5,000 yuan. Then he took three or five people to drive the carriage and returned to Zhao Qi's house.

In the middle of the afternoon, the Zhao Qi brothers and sisters finally packed their bags and said to Yuan Mai; "Please let the son lead the way, our brothers and sisters will go with you, and no matter what, we must persuade Zilong to return to Lord Shunzhou."

Yuan Mai glanced at Zhao Qi's wife and his seven or eight-year-old children who saw him off, and said with a smile: "Yecheng is far away, why don't you bring your family?" ”

Zhao Qi didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, and shook his head and refused: "My wife is weak and inconvenient to carry. Please forgive me! ”

"Because orphans and widows have no one to take care of them at home, they should be taken to Yecheng. First, you can reunite as a family, and if Zilong is willing to submit to our army, he will definitely be added to the rank and knighthood, and your family can enjoy the glory and wealth in the city. Second, if Gongsun Chan knew that Zilong had returned to obedience, he would inevitably send assassins to seek revenge, who would protect their orphans and widows? Yuan Mai threatened while luring.

After listening to Yuan Mai's words, Zhao Qi's pair of children begged: "Daddy, we also have to go to Yecheng to see the second uncle!" ”

Zhao Qi felt that Yuan Mai's words were reasonable, in case Gongsun Zan was angry that Zhao Yun had taken refuge in Yuan Shao and sent a killer to seek revenge, his family would inevitably suffer. But if Zilong is not persuaded to submit, his brother's head will fall to the ground.

sighed and said, "Okay, okay, let's go to Yecheng with Gongzi!" ”
