"Many people think that the three of them can win the championship because they just entered the goal and fought us. Hehe......" Yuan Xi suddenly smiled, his tone was unfathomable, "People, they always only believe what they see with their own eyes, but they don't know that the truth is always hidden behind the performance." ”

"Would you believe me if I said that the battle we came in was just intentional and part of a strategy?"

"What kind of strategy?" Seeing Yuan Xi smile and say nothing, Zhang Meiniang realized that he would not completely confess the whole "strategy" to herself, but guessed that there must be a purpose to show weakness to the enemy. "It's not just as simple as letting everyone in the Heavenly Master Sect despise it, right?" Zhang Meiniang thought to herself, she felt that she was becoming more and more unable to see through Yuan Xi.

Just based on Yuan Xi's words that I don't know whether they are true or false, I think that he has the ability to defeat Sun Ce and the others, Zhang Meiniang still has no bottom in her heart, who knows if he is playing tricks? But she suddenly thought of the name of "Four Worlds and Three Princes", and thought of the scheming Yuan Xi, the two young pulse masters known as "Hebei Shuangxiong", and her father often told her that Yuan Shao was the biggest threat to the Heavenly Master Sect, and she had to re-examine the truth of his words.

"Miss Zhang doesn't need to worry so much, I'm just here to form an alliance with you, and negotiate the terms of the alliance with you. If we don't make it to the final, it's all going to be invalid. So, do you want to listen to my conditions?"

Zhang Meiniang thought about it, this is indeed the truth, "Brother Yuan, please speak, little sister listens." ”

"We helped you win the championship, you have to hand over the Taiping Mind Method to us......"

Zhang Meiniang's heart was bright, "Sure enough, it's still a peaceful heart." ”

"This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that after you win the championship, I will ask my father to propose to the Heavenly Master's Mansion and marry you to our Yuan Mansion. ”

"What!" No matter how deep Zhang Meiniang is, she is just a little girl about thirteen years old, and when she heard the word "propose", she couldn't help but feel confused.

"I want to marry you into the Yuan Mansion and be my wife. Yuan Xi repeated, his eyes revealing eagerness, "I like you, I want to monopolize you, I want to be your man." ”

"Brother Yuan, I'm ......" Zhang Meiniang hurriedly lowered her head, her face flushed. The first time she heard a man say such a domineering thing, she was sweet and shocked in her heart, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Haha, did you promise our alliance?"

"We can make an alliance, but I ...... about marriage I think I'd better think about it for now. ”

"That's not something you should think about, as long as you agree to an alliance and the first condition after the alliance. Okay, that's done, I'm leaving. ”

Zhang Meiniang sent out the door and asked, "Brother Yuan, I want to confirm again, you are so confident that you can defeat Sun Ce and them?"

Yuan Xi stepped out of the door, and immediately resumed that arrogant attitude: "In front of me, Sun Ce is just a local chicken and a dog, just a wasted person, see how I perform then!"

Women eventually need to marry, especially under the consensus that the Heavenly Master Sect has almost identified Zhang Ning as the heir, and Zhang Meiniang must marry a powerful ally to the Heavenly Master Mansion, Zhang Meiniang has the greatest interests left to marry. Is it a young hero, the frank and confident Sun Ce, or the deep and witty, Yuan Xi of the fourth world and the third duke?

Yuan Xi swaggered away from the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and by the way, he made a few outer disciples of the Heavenly Master Sect, looking like a gentleman. Out of the mansion, he seemed to wander aimlessly through the streets of Julu City, turned left and right, and walked into an alley. The alley was very deep, and when it was almost at the end, Yuan Xi quietly pushed the door in, and then closed the door.

This is a small house, and there are too many such houses in Julu and even in the entire Han Dynasty. But this kind of house has the advantage of being popular enough and secluded enough.

After entering the door, Yuan Xi walked into the hall, where a man dressed as a scribe in his thirties and forties was sitting, and when he saw Yuan Xi arrive, he stood up and saluted: "Second son, don't come unharmed!"

Yuan Xi walked up quickly, with a sincere smile on his face, "Uncle Tian, you're welcome, please take a seat!" The corners of his eyes rose, looking at the two people standing next to the man, "You two boys, you are finally willing to come back." ”

"Hello Second Son!" the two said in unison, grinning.

Of the three people in the hall, the younger one was Yan Liangwen Chou, and the older one was Yuan Shao's chief strategist Tian Feng.

Yuan Xi and the two teenagers hugged each other enthusiastically, and when they looked at the two of them, they only felt that they had turned black and strong again, and asked, "How is it, it's comfortable to go back to cultivation, right? Those two seniors didn't torture you fiercely, right?"

The corners of Wen Chou's mouth twitched, making his already "not handsome" face look even more terrifying, and he exclaimed: "Comfortable, of course it's comfortable, I'm almost lying in the coffin and being carried back to see you." ”

And Yan Liang had a vicissitudes of life, and he was fifty years old in an instant, "The past is unbearable, don't mention it!"

Yuan Xi covered his mouth and smiled, allowing his two subordinates and friends to complain. After a while, he said with a straight face: "Okay, you also know that the two seniors are just temporarily staying in our Yuan family, it is rare that they are willing to guide you, so you can cultivate with your heart, young people are fine if they work hard." ”

Wen Chou hurriedly said: "Yes, so we complained, but we never relaxed when we cultivated." ”

Tian Feng sat down leisurely, took a sip of tea and said, "Has the second son met Zhang Meiniang?

Facing Tian Feng, Yuan Xi maintained a respectful attitude. He waved his hand at Yan Liangwen Chou, and the two of them knew that everyone had their own role, so they lowered their heads knowingly and walked out side by side.

"Miss Zhang agreed to an alliance, but she didn't quite believe we could win. ”

"It doesn't matter if she doesn't believe it, as long as we can make it to the final. I've seen him Yan and Wen train, and I also let them beat me. Compared with before, they have made great progress, and the appearance of Hebei Shuangxiong finally has a prototype. I believe that this great competition of the Heavenly Master Sect will shine. ”

"It would be nice if that were the case. Yuan Xi's expression was a little hesitant, and he asked again, "I also said about the marriage proposal, Miss Zhang seemed to be startled, and she didn't show any expression of joy and disgust. Eventually, she promised me to think it through. ”

"Surprised? Hehe, it's a little girl after all. Tian Feng smiled and said with a smile, and suddenly the conversation changed, "Does the second son know what will happen if you marry Zhang Meiniang?"

"Please Uncle Tian make it clear. ”

"More than a year ago, you came to cry to me, the eldest son Yuan Tan and the third son Yuan Shang were hot and cold to you, that is, they also left, which is very different from the scene when they were children. At that time, I knew that there were already people who were fiddling with right and wrong in front of the other two sons and sowing discord. It stands to reason that the lord is in his prime, and he has not yet considered the issue of a successor. But just because the lord doesn't want it doesn't mean that the others don't want to, do you understand what I'm talking about?"

"I understand. Hearing the words "others", Yuan Xi's mood suddenly became depressed. He was born to Yuan Shao's concubine and lost his mother in a few months. In the entire Yuan Mansion, his closest person is, of course, his father Yuan Shao. But Yuan Shao has the world in his heart, and every day he is either busy cultivating or developing the scale, and when he is idle to tease the children, he also goes to the two brothers who have a mother, and rarely comes to see Yuan Xi.

In fact, this is understandable, Yuan Xi is Yuan Shao's second son, and he does not have the status and scenery of his eldest son Yuan Tan, nor does he have Yuan Shao's favor for Yuan Shang. He is growing up silently, if it weren't for the gap between brothers, he would probably be rich for a lifetime, or he would be lonely for a lifetime.

But the above is already Yuan Xi's best result, and this kind of result was already perceived as impossible when he was about ten years old. Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and their respective forces around them, have been wooing him, otherwise they will alienate him, leaving him isolated and helpless, and he will be frightened every day. Later, Yuan Xi was ruthless and blocked one of Yuan Shao's most important advisers, Tian Feng. Yuan Xi threatened Tian Feng that if he didn't teach him strategy, he would die headfirst in front of him.

For Tian Feng, this is a tricky, but unavoidable problem. For all the civil and military forces of the Yuan Mansion, even if the heir issue is not involved now, it will have to be faced in the future, and it is almost impossible to protect oneself wisely. To tell the truth, Tian Feng didn't like the high-profile and domineering of the eldest prince Yuan Tan, nor did he like the little son's coquettish attitude, but Yuan Xi, who had been tolerating, impressed him.

After Yuan Xi made it clear that he didn't want to get involved in the struggle and just wanted to keep his life safe, Tian Feng thought of a strategy for him to temporarily avoid the Heavenly Master's Mansion. He also taught Yuan Xi: first, to shape himself into an image of a gentleman who has no city government and relies on the blessings of his ancestors in everything; second, he silently develops his own strength, even if he does not fight for the position in the future, he can protect himself; finally, look for loyal and capable people, and make friends with his heart, even if he cannot be loyal to himself in the future, he can save his life at an important moment.

Before going to the Heavenly Master to teach, Tian Feng also taught him, after entering, he had nothing to do but fight with others, and he was going to lose. Then in the big competition, he fought back, got the Taiping Heart Method, and then latent cultivation, strengthened his strength, and prepared for the future.

Originally, Tian Feng, like Sun Jian, was more inclined to let Yuan Xi get close to Zhang Ning at first, but after learning that Zhang Ning was timid and pure, he immediately turned his target to Zhang Mei. He thinks that Zhang Meiniang is a person who does great things, so he asked Yuan Xi to propose to make peace with Zhang Meiniang, and the two joined forces, and then used the power of the Heavenly Master Sect in the future, so that Yuan Xi could succeed in competing for the throne, and retreat could make Yuan Xi have enough ability to protect himself. Tian Feng told all the plans and plans, and told Yuan Xi that Yuan Shao attached great importance to the big competition, and specially recalled Yan Liangwen Chou back for special training, and now the whole Yuan Mansion is staring at this matter Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are quite nervous, afraid that Yuan Xi will steal his limelight.

"By the way, I'm quite interested in those Hanmen Pulse Masters. What are they doing during this time?" Tian Feng asked with interest.
