The guards said that the scout brought back the news of Yuan Shang, and the entire study was suddenly silent, and Hua Yan and Kong Shun, who were still smiling like brilliant flowers, immediately stopped squeaking when they heard this.

Yuan Tan's face was frightened, the crunching sound of his hands was clattering, and the huge joints showed a terrifying paleness, as if reflecting his current extremely lonely state of mind.

"Let the scouts in! My son wants to listen to him face to face! Yuan Tan gritted his teeth, and the sullen expression on his face was completely different from Shicai's happy expression, which were two extremes.

When he was young, he saw the scout who had returned from the inquiry coming quickly, bowing to Yuan Tan Shili, and bowing loudly: "My subordinates have seen the eldest prince!" ”

"No clichés!" Yuan Tan waved his hand and asked the scout directly: "The guard said that you found out the news of the third prince?" Didn't you find the traces of the White Horse? ”

The scout shook his head when he heard this, and replied: "The eldest prince of Qiqi, his subordinates have not found any trace of Baima Yicong, but in Hengtai, west of Linzi City, I found a person coming in the direction of my Linzi City. ”

"What?!"

Yuan Tan was shocked when he heard this, and said angrily: "Hugh is nonsense, the third prince was captured by the remnants of the White Horse Yicong, how can he appear in the west of Linzi City, and he is still alone?" You're sure you're real! ”

Hearing this, the scout hurriedly shook his head and said, "The eldest prince, his subordinates used to accompany the army in Yecheng in the past, and then went to Qingzhou, and the appearance of the third prince, his subordinates really know it!" What's more, such a major event is not a child's play, if the subordinates are not carefully identified, how can they come back and report to you? There is no reason to be wrong! ”

Yuan Tan's face twitched, gritted his teeth and said, "In addition to my personal guard, have you told others about this matter?" ”

"No!"

Yuan Tan nodded when he heard this, as if he was relieved, and said, "Okay, very good!" Remember, from now on, this matter must not be told to others, in addition to you, as well as the guards outside the door, and the three people in this study, if there is a sixth person who knows about this matter, what the consequences are, you must be clear in your own heart. ”

The scout trembled when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed his head and said to Yuan Tan: "Don't worry, the eldest prince, his subordinates will definitely not reveal a word to others." ”

"Okay." Yuan Tan waved his hand and said, "Go down!" ”

"No!"

After the scout withdrew from the study, Yuan Tan immediately took a long breath, looked back and forth at Hua Yan and Kong Shun who were standing on both sides, and said: "Yuan Shang appeared in Huantai alone, and is now coming to my Linzi City, what do you two have a high opinion on this matter?" ”

Hua Yan touched his chin when he heard this, and said strangely: "With the martial arts of the third prince, it is simply ridiculous to want to escape from the hands of hundreds of White Horse Yicong, isn't it the remnants of White Horse Yicong who let him back?" ”

Over there, Kong Shun shook his head when he heard this, and said, "How is it possible?" In the past, Gongsun Chan and the Yuan family had no common hatred, the third prince was caught, not cut by a thousand knives, and the boiled oil pot was a blessing, how could it be easily put back? There must be something strange about this! ”

Hua Yan thought for a while and said: "Isn't it that the third prince and those white horse thieves have reached a consensus, after all, Gongsun Chan is dead, and those white horse thieves are making trouble in Hebei like this, it is not very good, if the third prince really persuaded them to join forces with them, this is not good, but if they really join forces, why don't those white horse thieves come back with the third prince, strange, strange!" ”

Yuan Tan gently tapped the table with his hand, and said with a gloomy face: "Perhaps, that kid subdued the White Horse Thieves, and didn't want to bring the White Horse Thieves to Qingzhou for me to see, or maybe he made a deal with the White Horse Thieves, or maybe the White Horse Thieves didn't want to anger my father too much, but no matter what the situation is, there is only one thing I'm worried about"...,

"Smack!" With a bang, Yuan Tan slapped the table hard, gritted his teeth and continued: "That kid actually came back alive!" ”

Hua Yan and Kong Shun were so frightened that they hurriedly lowered their heads and advised together: "The eldest prince is angry! ”

Yuan Tan stood up and began to walk back and forth anxiously in the study, a kind of anger that had just ascended to heaven, but had fallen from heaven to mortal dust, filled his heart, and even affected his usual good judgment.

Yuan Shang, Yuan Shang! You are really fateful, and you can still not die after being kidnapped by the White Horse Thief? What did you come back for? Do what! Compete with me for the throne? Take the four states of Hebei with me? Hindering me from pacifying the hegemony of the world?

"He must not be allowed to return to Linzi City alive!" Yuan Tan's eyes suddenly widened, and a kind of sky-high anger and murderous intent instantly filled the entire study, which made Hua Yan and Kong Shun's hearts tremble and tremble.

Yuan Tan glanced at Kong Shun sideways and said, "Kong Shun, this matter will be arranged by you, I want you to do it yourself!" The return of the manifestation is still known only to us."

Speaking of this, Yuan Tan made a slashing gesture with his hand.

Kong Shun swallowed lightly, and then arched his hand at Yuan Tan and said, "The meaning of the eldest prince, Shun understands." ”

"Also, after the incident, the corpse must be properly disposed of, and it is best to find a way to blame the remnants of the White Horse Yicong, so that no matter whether there is any collusion between Yuan Shang and the White Horse Thief, it will be convenient for us to slaughter them in the future."

"No!"

Yuan Tan snorted softly, raised his head and took a long breath, and said coldly: "Yuan Xianfu, do you still want to turn over now?" There's a son in the imagination! ”

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

The night was deep and cool as water.

On the side of the rugged path from Hengtai to Linzi City, a bonfire is slowly burning "crackling".

Bonfire hunting, the surroundings were silent, Yuan Shang was dressed in tattered clothes, sitting unkempt by the campfire, like a homeless man, holding a branch in his hand, with a hare that had just been caught by a trap, and the smell of meat wafted in the air, attracting many hawks and sparrows fluttering their wings and landing on the trees next to them, staring closely at the food that was being barbecued in Yuan Shang's hands.

Time passed bit by bit, and everything seemed so plain and natural.

However, the sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the night, and not far away, I saw more than ten strong men wearing black suits and covering their heads flying towards Yuan Shang's direction.

Yuan Shang raised his head, looked at the voice for a while, and then a scheming smile curled up at the corner of his mouth

After a while, I saw that the black-clothed people in more than ten strong outfits came to the bonfire where Yuan Shangshicai was barbecuing, only to see that the flames were still crackling, but the people and hares sitting on the side of the flames disappeared at some point.

"What about people?" The black-clothed man at the head turned over from his horse, looked at the bonfire on the ground, looked back and forth, gritted his teeth and said, "Find it for me!" It was still here just now, and it was impossible to go far! It must be hidden in the grass or bushes! Search! ”

More than a dozen people turned over and dismounted, and one by one, they began to look for the bushes and shrubs next to the campfire as if they were devils sweeping into the village

was looking carefully, but I heard a "pop", and an unknown object fell from the sky on the head of a man in black.

The man in black frowned and gently wiped the top of his head.

Just as he was about to continue the search, there was a "snap", and another object volleyed down and landed on his head.

The man in black shook his head, took a closer look at the thing that smashed on top of his head, and was suddenly a little dazed.

"What bones?" …,

looked at Lu in a daze, but saw Yuan Shang holding the rabbit that was just right for the barbecue, holding the front leg of a rabbit in his mouth, swaying like a big cigar in his mouth, and smiling at him with a pleasant face.

The man in black was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly greeted his partner: "This! Here's it! He hid in the trees, in the trees! Whoever has a bow and arrows, put a full bow and shoot him down! ”

When the dozen or so people rushed to this side, they saw Yuan Shang smile hesitantly, waved his hand at the man in black, and said, "Do you know why I'm hiding here?" ”

The man in black was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously shook his head.

Yuan Shang smiled slightly, kindly like a Maitreya Buddha who rescued suffering: "The so-called condescending is like a bamboo!" You don't even know such superficial knowledge, and you're still a bullshit killer. ”

After that, a weighty rabbit leg volleyed down in the air, and smashed on the face of the man in black with a "bang", and immediately cut his head.

At this moment, the rest of the black-clothed people who were sent to assassinate Yuan Shang had already gathered under the tree, and several black-clothed people took bows and arrows, bent their bows and arrows, and raised their hands to shoot Yuan Shang on the tree

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! Sou! ”

But listening to the sound of four arrows, the four black-clothed men who wanted to shoot Yuan Shang with bows and arrows were hit by arrows one after another, fell to the ground, and fluttered their legs one by one, obviously unable to live.

"Woo——!"

With the sound of a horn, Shicai was still extremely quiet in the mountain forest, and suddenly the torch Qi Ming, a woman in a red power suit and a group of archers surrounded from three sides, only surrounding all these black-clothed people.

The accident happened in silence, and a group of people who had already been arranged, under the leadership of Lu Lingqi, quietly trapped all the people in Wengzhong, just waiting to reach out and catch turtles.

Yuan Shang sat on the tree, his thin red lips grinning slightly, revealing his two rows of white teeth, which looked extremely creepy under the light of the torches.

"Hehe, okay, okay, it's only been a few days since I beat Jishui? First the Black Mountain Army, then the White Horse Righteous Servant, and now you again, everyone wants to trouble me! It's really shallow, and there are big brothers everywhere! I don't want to pick you up today, but I don't know how powerful I am, and everyone will obey the order! ”

"In!"

"No, don't cut them to death for my son, you can't cut them to death, you have to catch them alive, cut them all down!"
