Chapter Ninety-Four: Yuan Tan Goes to Yecheng

Qingzhou Linzi City Thorn History Mansion. **!Book. Bar*

Yuan Tan stood in the main hall, holding the handwritten book written by Yuan Shao to him tightly with both hands, his two wide palms trembling back and forth, and his eyes were full of unconcealable panic and uneasiness.

The content of the letter is very simple, and it can even be said that it is a bit outrageous, because it is only a short six words.

"Come back to Yecheng and see me."

The letter was very short, but the words were like a thousand catties, as if one huge stone after another was pressing on Yuan Tan's chest, so that he didn't even dare to breathe.

Finally, it's still here!

Although from the moment he let Yuan Shang go, Yuan Tan knew that this kind of thing might happen in Lu Dao, but he didn't expect things to come so quickly, so fast that he didn't even have enough time to prepare.

Myself, I'm still too tender.

"Father, when will I leave for me?"

Trying his best to suppress the uneasiness in his chest, Yuan Tan asked the messenger who came to deliver the message with a slightly stiff smile.

The envoy's face was cold, and he couldn't see the change in Yuan Tan's expression, and said slowly: "The lord has a word, since the eldest prince received this letter, he can give him a grace day to let the prince explain the affairs of the palace, and he will leave with me early tomorrow morning, and he can't make unnecessary stops." ”

So fast!

"I know."

Yuan Tan nodded solemnly, and instructed the attendant: "Please send the messenger to the pavilion to rest first, I will explain all the things in Qingzhou, and I will leave early tomorrow morning." ”

After the back of the envoy slowly disappeared into Yuan Tan's eyes, Hua Yan, who had already been unable to hold back on the side, hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Childe." The lord is in such a hurry to ask you to go back, what will be the matter? Could it be?"

Yuan Tan sighed, shook his head and sighed: "What else can I do, naturally I want to ask if Kong Shunzhi's assassination of the third brother has anything to do with me." Alas, one wrong step and one wrong step, I was indeed too uncalm before, and I showed such a big flaw by a slight accident, I'm afraid this time, my father was really angry. ”

When Hua Yan heard this, he immediately sweated like rain: "Since the matter has come to this, then the eldest son, are you still ready to go back to Yecheng?" In case something goes wrong. Can the lord let you come back to take charge of Qingzhou again? ”

Yuan Tan smiled bitterly when he heard this, and sighed: "Of course I know what you said, but what if I don't go back?" Could it be that my father who was going to force me to send a large army to suppress the border and capture me back in person? There is no need to think about it. There's only one way to go! And if I go back and explain to my face, there may be a glimmer of opportunity in this matter, but if I disobey the order and disrespect, then I will really push myself to a dead end. ”

"How do you plan to explain to the lord when the son goes back this time? You must already have an idea in mind, right? ”

Yuan Tan shook his head. said: "Father Hero I, which can be easily dismissed in three or two sentences, I don't have any safe excuses in my heart, let's take one step at a time." ”

Hua Yan heard this. I couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Stealing chickens and rice, wanting to kill Yuan Shang. Not only did he not kill him, but he also compensated Kong Shun. Now even the eldest prince is in a dilemma, which is really infuriating.

Dead! It's really a dead end!

Could it be that today, there is no solution, and the Qingzhou foundation that was finally created has to be delivered back like this?

People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, this time, the eldest prince really has to sit back and wait for death?

However, at this time, a voice outside the hall suddenly pulled the two of them back into their thoughts.

"The eldest prince of Qiyu, a person outside the gate of the mansion, a dead man who claims to be Mr. Xin Ping, came from Yecheng, holding Mr. Xin's handwritten book, and wants to see the son."

When the words fell, in the hall, the gloomy expressions of Yuan Tan and Hua Yan suddenly brightened. …,

"Mr. Sin's letter? Good, good! Great, let him in! ”

When I was young, I saw an ordinary-looking middle-aged man in a coarse linen shirt striding into the hall.

Yuan Tan looked anxious, and without waiting for the other party to salute, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Are you a member of Mr. Xin's disciple?" ”

The middle-aged man paused for a moment, as if he didn't expect Yuan Tan to be so eager, he came up and opened his mouth to ask him, and hurriedly replied: "Exactly!" ”

"Mr. Xin, Zhuo, why did you come to Qingzhou?"

"The head of the family is in Yecheng, and he knows that the eldest son is in trouble, so he specially ordered the villain to come and deliver it to the eldest prince with a simple handwriting! The head of the family asked the villain to tell the eldest son, and in the book, there is a strategy written to help the son return to Yecheng, escape safely and return to Qingzhou smoothly! ”

When Yuan Tan heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Quickly show me the handwritten book." ”

The dead man did not hesitate, and then carefully took out a scroll of bamboo slips hidden deep in his chest, held it firmly with both hands, and presented it to Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan didn't ask much, reached out to take it, and quickly opened it.

After staring at it seriously for a long time, he saw Yuan Tan's hands suddenly "snap", his face turned color, red and white, as if he was making up his mind.

After a long time, I finally saw Yuan Tan sighing and said: "Since the matter is in crisis, Mr. Xin's strategy should be tried!" You go back and tell Mr. Xin, just say that my son thanks him for his kindness, if you can resolve the crisis according to his words this time, and return to Qingzhou safely, I Yuan Tan will have a heavy report in the future! ”

"Don't worry, the villain will definitely bring this."

At this time, he saw Hua Yan quietly coming over, glanced at the book, and said softly: "Eldest prince, what does Mr. Xin's letter say?" ”

Yuan Tan glanced at Hua Yan and said lightly: "Mr. Xin's letter is extremely simple, only two sentences. ”

Hua Yan was curious when he heard this: "I don't know which two sentences they are?" ”

Yuan Tan shook his head, looked up to the sky and sighed: "I can't say it now, if I can come back safely from Yecheng this time, it will not be too late to tell you again."

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

When the first rays of sunlight shone out of the window to the inner room of the county office, Yuan Shang, who was dozing off on the table, was woken up violently.

He opened his eyes in a daze, then immediately closed them again, and waved his hand impatiently, as if to chase away a pesky fly.

Xiahou Juan's pretty face wrinkled slightly, and then he continued to push Yuan Shang hard, and while pushing, he shouted dissatisfiedly: "Abaaba, Ababa!" ”

Yuan Shang was shaken and dizzy, and said to Xiahou Juan inarticulately: "Go away dumb, what time is this, I didn't have anything to do in the early morning to go to the courtyard to hang my throat and play." ”

Xiahou Juan frowned when he heard this, and stopped pretending to be garlic: "I said Lord County, don't you look at what time it is?" All the officials of the county government have been sent to the post, and you, the county magistrate, are still sleeping secretly here? When you take office as a new official, you should set an example for the officials and soldiers in the city! Hurry up, someone in the county government is beating drums, and the people who came to complain are lined up outside the house. ”

Yuan Shang got up from the table in a daze, rubbed his head vigorously, and sighed: "In the past few days, I have been dealing with the official affairs accumulated by the county government every day, busy with agricultural affairs, busy with military affairs, busy with military affairs, busy with recruitment, busy with taxes, and have no stop every day. ”

Xiahou Juan smiled lightly, and said: "No way, who has left this Wuji County Order vacant for a long time, and the people have a lot of grievances and have nowhere to appeal, but they just caught up with you, this is called fate." ”

Yuan Shang yawned, while tidying up his official uniform, he shook his head and sighed: "Under the rule of this county, the sky is bright and white, Lang Lang Qiankun, where do the many grievances come from, I suspect that these people are purely idle and bored, and they come to the county government to fight a lawsuit to relieve their boredom, it is really strange, how can the people here be more idle than the other, they don't farm the land, hand me that crown." ”

Xiahou Juan giggled when he heard this, raised his hand and handed the hair crown to Yuan Shang, and said, "Seeing that it is about to snow in winter, whose farmer is rushing to farm the land at this moment?" You're really confused about this county order. ”

Yuan Shang snorted when he heard this, and after finishing his appearance in a short time, he immediately coughed and shouted loudly outside the door.

"Someone, ascend to the church! The county is going to be promoted! (To be continued......)
