Xiahou Wushuang, an orphan who once wandered on the streets of Luoyang, when Yuan Shang saw him, he was already so hungry that his face was pale and weak, if it weren't for Yuan Shang, he would have starved to death in that spring season, but for him it was as cold as winter.

For Yuan Shang, giving Xiahou Wushuang a bite to eat back then was just a gesture, if it weren't for his sentence "I will be loyal to you until death, and my life will not change." It caused a faint wave in Yuan Shang's heart, maybe he was like a beggar on the streets of Luoyang, silently rotting and turning into spring mud.

The Yuan family is big enough and rich enough, and a few more mouths to eat are like a stone sinking into the sea, which can't cause a trace of waves at all, but no one knows that there are as many as 20 children who entered the mansion in various forms and for various reasons like Xiahou Wushuang.

More than ten years have passed, and the children of that year have grown up one after another, some have left, some exist, and there are only eight people who can be remembered by Yuan Shang in the end, and Xiahou Wushuang is one of them.

"Xiahou Wushuang, the director of the Tsing Yi Guard's Arrest Division, has seen the Lord."

As Xiahou Wushuang knelt down on one knee and his Tsing Yi guards did not hesitate to kneel on one knee, the director's voice made them suddenly realize, in addition to the mysterious Three Davids of the Tsing Yi Guard, there are also four offices like their arrest office, and these seven institutions also constitute a command and management organization with the Lord as the core, Yuan Shang knows the truth of low-key and muffled fortune, so he has always put Tsing Yi Wei in the dark, and the daily operation of Tsing Yi Wei is mostly managed by the heads of various branches, Yuan Shang is mostly hidden in the shadows for strategic command and overall layout, and because of this, Yuan Shang's identity is the most mysterious among the Tsing Yi Guards.

In the forest, the Tsing Yi guards were scattered and vigilant, only Yuan Shang and Xiahou Wushuang were left, except for the two, Fu Bo and Zi Qing were both under the gaze of the Tsing Yi Wei, Fu Bo leaned against the big tree with an expressionless face, and the little girl was holding a white silk scarf to wipe the long sword in her hand attentively, and her beautiful eyes sometimes spread out in a moment of slight condensation on Yuan Shang's body.

"Get up," Yuan Shang stretched out his hand to help Xiahou Wushuang, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Whoa."

Seeing Xiahou Wushuang, who was not meticulously upright, the corners of Yuan Shang's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't care about the past, and said, "Xiahou, how many people are there in your department in Yecheng?" ”

"Thirty-two, all of them are the elite of the arrest department."

Xiahou Wushuang didn't think about it, as the director of the arrest department, he naturally knew the distribution of the personnel under him.

Yuan Shang nodded slightly, and said with a deep sigh: "Pick out ten skilled swordsmen to follow me into the camp, and the rest of the people will act according to the original plan, and inform the principals of the remaining three places that the plan will remain unchanged and be ready to launch at any time." ”

Xiahou Wushuang's face changed slightly when he heard this, the muscles on his slender face trembled slightly, and his tone was a little hesitant: "Lord, this trip is very dangerous, that Gongsun Zan used the death of his younger brother Gongsun Yue to provoke a war in order to compete with Yuan Gong for Jizhou, obviously he has been preparing for a long time, and he has no intention of calculating, which is really not good for his own side." Moreover, according to the news from the intelligence department, it seems that there is a force in the army that is colluding with the other side to disadvantage you, and some people do not want to see your appearance, if you intervene in this situation in this situation, I am afraid that you will be in the tiger's den. ”

When Yuan Shang heard this, he felt a little relieved in his heart, Xiahou Wushuang's words were indeed for his sake, the current situation between the two armies facing off near the boundary bridge is indeed a little weird, and it will erupt at any time At the same time, an undercurrent is quietly surging, for Yuan Shang, if he rashly joins this war, maybe as Xiahou Wushuang said, some people are not willing to see him appear, as for who they are, he naturally knows in his heart.

However, Yuan Shang did not intend to escape, since he was born in the Yuan family, some obligations and responsibilities must be born, the battle of the boundary bridge is of great significance, related to whether the Yuan family can dominate the key battle of Hebei, if this victory, in order to change the military strength and weakness of the Yuan Gongsun family, the stronger the Yuan family, the more resources Yuan Shang can control, these are closely related to him.

"Xiahou, I'll repeat it again, and the plan remains the same."

"But," Xiahou Wushuang was still a little uneasy: "Is the strength of the ten swordsmen too weak?" ”

Xiahou Wushuang tried his best to catch a trace of fluctuation or hesitation in his eyes, but he couldn't see anything, but saw Yuan Shang shake his head and said: "Enough, if there are too many people, they will be stared at to death, ten people are enough." ”

In the end, Xiahou Wushuang still chose to obey, for ten years, he was silently obedient to Yuan Shang, except for this time, he hesitated, for Yuan Shang's personal safety, it was not his own idea, but the common idea of several of their brothers and sisters, so many years, Yuan Shang has become the spiritual pillar of all of them, for Xiahou personally, on that cold winter night, Yuan Shang, who gave him food to survive, has long been the whole of his life, as he said back then, loyal to Yuan Shang until death, and his life will remain unchanged.

Seeing the firmness in Yuan Shang's eyes, he obeyed.

"Whoa."

With a promise, the corners of Yuan Shang's eyebrows spread slightly, looking at the slender and tall Xiahou Wushuang, this was the first time he disobeyed his instructions, but Yuan Shang couldn't be angry, the two grew up together since childhood, they were also teachers and friends, how could he not know what Xiahou Wushuang thought in his heart.

"Go, pick out ten swordsmen to follow me into the camp."

Xiahou Wushuang nodded silently, his tall and thin body left gently, and soon, ten men escorted a black simple carriage towards Jieqiao City.

On the high slope, Xiahou Wushuang watched the black carriage gradually disappear into the dust, and turned his head to look at the south, his expression was cold, and that direction was the direction where Gongsun Chan was.
