Facing Yuan Shangzhengse's inquiry, Cai Yan didn't know why, her face suddenly turned red, facing Yuan Shang's shining and upright eyes, for a while, Cai Yan didn't know how to answer Yes, her mind was blank, just subconsciously dodged Yuan Shang's firm inquiring gaze, and answered softly in a faint voice like a mosquito.

"Chang'an is my hometown, and it is an important mansion left by my father, the ancestral foundation is here, since I have returned, how can I abandon it at will....... so I decided not ......to leave."

Yuan Shang shook his head lightly and said: "This is not a reason, at least this is not the real reason why you want to stay, let me tell you for you, the reason why you want to leave here is because you want to avoid me, since that night, you don't know how to face me, and how to face yourself, so you can only choose to escape, ignore all this by escaping, staying away, to deny that night, and your current heart." ”

Cai Yan's body trembled slightly, and her figure began to sway gently unconsciously, she staggered back two steps, looked at Yuan Shang with eyes full of crystal clear tears, and said, "What can I do?" As an unknown person, how can I .......?"

Yuan Shang didn't give her a chance to breathe, stepped forward and forced two steps, stared at her with a blazing gaze and said, "You can follow me... We don't have to pay attention to the words of the world! ”

When Cai Yan heard this, his body couldn't help but shake slightly, and then he smiled bitterly and whispered: "It's impossible, even if you don't care, but can you withstand the gossip of the world......

"What's the big deal." Yuan Shang raised his neck slightly, and said in a tone full of confidence: "The world is big, I have the final say, whoever dares to chew his tongue behind his back, I won't kill him!" ”

Cai Yan smiled miserably and said slowly: "What about the ladies in your family?" ”

Yuan Shang's mind flashed in an instant, Zhen Mi's shrewd face, Xiahou Juan's willful face, and Lu Lingqi's fierce appearance.

"They... It's all empathetic. A suave and reasonable person will definitely not have any opinions. Yuan Shang waved his head, temporarily drove those faces away from his mind, and began to pull out his blindness when he opened his mouth.

Cai Yan seemed to think carefully for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "Please don't force me, let me stay here, think about it, think about it... Is it okay... Please don't push me ......"

Looking at Cai Yan's hesitant and self-blaming face, Yuan Shangzhi said. At this time, she can't be persecuted too much, she should still be given a space to think, if she is stubborn and willful, it will backfire and make her feel more estranged from herself.

The bell must be tied to the bell, and the heart disease needs to be treated by himself, and some things still have to be done by Cai Yan himself.

"Well, in that case. I don't force you to do it, you just stay in Chang'an City for the time being, calm down, and wait for me to pacify the Central Plains after my eastward expedition. Come back to pick you up, whether you go or stay, follow me or not, I respect your opinion. Never force it. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said, "But let's be honest. I really don't want to call you aunt anymore, after all, no matter what kind of aunt you are, you have to have a day to see red, right? ”

Tears flowed more and more fiercely, running down Cai Yan's beautiful cheeks.

***********************

Yuan Shang chose to respect Cai Yan's choice, returned to the meeting hall of his mansion, and then immediately recruited Zhao Yun and Yan Xing.

Yuan Shang looked at the two of them quietly, and suddenly said to Zhao Yun: "The land of Guanzhong, Yongliang Erzhou, is my newly laid foundation, and it is also fertile soil, negligence must not be, I have to have my right-hand man to take a look at the overall situation, sit in the town, Brother Zilong, the candidate for such an important place, I have thought about it for a long time, I think about it, I still think that I can leave it to you, so that I can rest assured." ”

When Zhao Yun heard this, he didn't say a word, and said, "It's all up to the lord's arrangement!" ”

Yuan Shang nodded with a smile and said, "Very good." In addition, there are many princes in Guanzhong, although they are all served now, but you still need local people to assist you in management, I see that Yan Xing has lived in Yongliang and Liangzhou for a long time, and he is a fierce general, and he has won the hearts of the local people and the Qiang people, and he can be a good candidate, I want him to be your deputy. Do you see if such an assignment is okay? ”

Zhao Yun turned his head, glanced at Yan Xing deeply, and nodded, "That's the best!" ”

Yan Xing also hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Yan Xing will definitely do his best to assist General Zhao to manage the Yongliang Land, and do his best to protect this fertile land for the Lord!" ”

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "Okay, then it's decided!" Zhao Yun, I named you the commander-in-chief of Yongzhou and Liangzhou, the commander-in-chief of the affairs of the northwest of the country, and ordered Feng Yan to act as the general of Pingxi, as a deputy, the two of you need to help each other and respect each other, and take a good look at this fertile land for the Yuan family, remember not to be negligent, understand? ”

The two of them bowed their hands together and said in unison: "Obey the arrangement of the lord!" ”

Yuan Shang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Very good, let's go down....... by the way, Zhao Yun, I have already discussed with Ma Teng yesterday, before appointing you as the governor of Yongliang, we will have a happy and happy marriage, and Ma Yunlu will be married to you, now you are not only prosperous in official fortune, but also accept delicate beauties, it is really a spring breeze, Sima Yi that kid probably has to envy you to death in his dreams." ”

Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "You....why did you act without saying hello to me?" ”

Yuan Shang rolled his eyes slightly, and said very dissatisfiedly: "What do you say hello?" What do you say, in a word, do it or not? ”

Zhao Yun hurriedly shook his head: "It's not a question of whether to do it or not, it's a matter of dignity ........"

"Do you want to do it?"

"If you marry me without notifying me in advance, it is disrespectful to me......."

"Do you want to do it, ask the last question, and if you don't answer, I'll ask Ma Tengti for Sima Yi to go in person!"

"!" Zhao Yun replied angrily, and the light from his eyes seemed to be able to shoot Yuan Shang against the wall.

Yuan Shang shrugged his shoulders slightly, and said: "Isn't this enough, you have to set up an archway in front of a bitch, and the most despised is a man like you, dirty!" Alright, alright, hurry up and get down, go and prepare for the gift of the bride and go to your father-in-law. This time the marriage is urgent. Everything will be simplified first, and when the world is peaceful in the future, I will make up a golden wedding for you. ”

"No......"

The two said goodbye to Yuan Shang, walked out of the conference hall, and as soon as they came to the door, they saw Yan Xing arching his hand at Zhao Yun with a smile, and said with respect: "General Zhao, congratulations on your double happiness, one is the official promotion to the governor of Yongliang, and from now on he will be alone in the town." Wei covers the world, the second is to obtain the first beauty in the northwest to enter the house, from then on the court has been established, the heirs are honored, Yan Xing is here to congratulate you! Congratulations! ”

Zhao Yun's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Thank you General Yan, Zhao also has to congratulate you here, just entered the Yuan camp, and you will be promoted to General Pingxi." This is a very rare precedent in the whole of Hebei. ”

Yan Xing's face had a joy that was difficult to hide, and he hurriedly said, "General Zhao's words are too praised. No matter how high Yan Xingsheng is, it is also thanks to your help and support, and General Zhao's help to me is unforgettable for Yan's life. In the future, I will follow you to take care of Guanzhong, and I still have to bother General Zhao to promote and spur more. ”

Zhao Yun said indifferently when he heard this: "Don't dare." You should control your heart and don't do something you shouldn't do. ”

When Yan Xing heard this, his face suddenly stiffened, but he quickly regained his smile and said, "What General Zhao said is that Yan Xing must pay attention. ”

Zhao Yun looked at him quietly, and suddenly said: "Yan Xing, do you know Lu Dao, in fact, for me, the lord left you behind, which is the most undesirable thing for Zhao." ”

Yan Xing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with great joy: "General Zhao thinks so highly of Yan...... You're so rare about me, huh? ”

When Zhao Yun heard this, he smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "It's not rare, it's just that you are under my hands, and I can watch you all the time, so as not to make some waves that shouldn't be churned, do you understand?" ”

After saying that, without even glancing at Yan Xing, Zhao Yun immediately turned around and left.

Yan Xing stood in place, looking at Zhao Yun's back in a daze, coldly, and suddenly let out a heavy "hum", revealing an unhappy look of pleasure, and then flicked his sleeves heavily, and followed the dust and smoke left behind.

*************************

After Yuan Shang arranged all the personnel transfers left in Yongliang Pass, he immediately joined hands with Ma Teng to arrange the marriage of Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu, and then immediately prepared to lead the army to choose a good day and an auspicious day, set off the army, and went straight to Luoyang in the east.

When he was halfway there, Yuan Xi, Wang Shuang, and Gao Lan were ordered to come to meet Yuan Shang.

When the two brothers saw each other this time, they were naturally overjoyed.

In the handsome tent, Yuan Xi held Yuan Shang's hand heavily and said, "Third brother, you are really amazing, amazing!" The battle of Guanzhong, not only harvested the fertile land of Yongliang, but also forced Cao Cao to a dead end, although he was eventually killed by Liu Bei, but without your foreshadowing, Liu Bei would not be able to achieve such a great achievement in his life, not only that, but you also stabbed Cheng Yu, the enemy who killed his father, captured Xiahou Yuan alive, Xun You and other famous ministers of the Cao family, if your father has a spirit in the sky, you will be proud of you! ”

Yuan Shang shook his head with a smile and said, "Second brother, don't say that, these things are the joint efforts of you and my brothers, and I just happened to meet them...... Second brother, let's merge together this time, attack Cao in the east, we must completely eradicate the entire Cao family, so as not to leave future troubles in the future, the top priority is to pull out the nail of Luoyang first, second brother, you came early, have you heard Luoyang's information first? ”

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "This is natural, your second brother has no other ability, but these things are still done, the Cao family seems to have expected that we will come, so they first sent Cao Zhang, Liu Ye, Cao Hong, Xu Huang and others to come here to assist in the town guard, and Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and others also set off from Xu Du to help...... By the way, now that Gao Gan has been ordered to Chen Bing in Qingzhou, if there is no accident, Zhang Liao, who has been with him, may also be dispatched, all of them are the backbone of the Cao family, and they are difficult to beat! ”

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter, these people, although they are quite famous, but each of them is a defeated general under my subordinates, come one to clean up one, come ten to clean up a bunch... At present, what I am most concerned about is actually the movements of Guo Jia and Jia Xu, when Cao Cao went east, the two of them were not by his side, if these two people were there, the situation may not be as optimistic as it is now! ”

Yuan Xi heard this and said: "It's strange that it's strange here, let's join forces to march eastward, these two people don't seem to have any action." (To be continued......)
