After the sealing of the Zen, Yuan Lian made a big fuss about Bagong Mountain, which made Yan Xiang also doubt what Yuan Lian said and what he had seen before.

The so-called witch curse is too appalling, Yan Xiang naturally would not rashly say this, not to mention that now that Yuan Shu is the emperor, he is likely to bring disaster to himself and his family.

Originally, Yan Xiang was ready to wait, but before he could think that night, a group of black-clothed people appeared near the dungeon and made a gesture for the first person, while the rest of the black-clothed people sneaked into the prison one after another, and it took about a quarter of an hour for the black-clothed people to leave.

After another quarter of an hour, Yan Xiang saw that there was no movement around him, gritted his teeth, and walked into the prison with courage.

It was pitch black all around, and Yan Xiang touched the wall, slowly moving forward according to his memory, turning a corner before daring to light the fire fold in his hand. The sudden light made Yan Xiang squint slightly, and after a while, he finally adapted to the light in front of him, Yan Xiang raised his eyes and looked around, only to see that in the nearest cell to him, there was a person who was stretching out his arm, and the tip of his finger was only a few inches away from him!

Yan Xiang was suddenly frightened, and fell to the ground with a scream.

After a few breaths, Yan Xiang could see that something was wrong, and through the faint light of the fire, he could see that the man did not make any further movements, but only kept his arm stiff and stretched out of the fence.

Lifting the fire fold, through the faint light, the person's body can be seen blackened, thinking that he wanted to escape when the fire broke out, but was blocked by the fence.

Yan Xiang breathed a long sigh of relief, calmed down, and slowly got up and continued to walk forward. I don't know how long it took, I finally came to the cell where I and Yuan Jian were held before, and with a slight push, the cell door actually opened directly, and when I looked down, I saw a corpse lying upright on the bed, and its limbs were already shattered.

Yan Xiang came to the front and found that the body had indeed turned over at this time, and when the man rescued himself and others, Yuan Jian was already seriously injured and had difficulty moving. Even if he is rescued, he will not live long, and the time is short, so he can only be left in prison. I didn't expect that a few days later, it would really be goodbye.

At this point, Yan Xiang was finally sure of what he was thinking, the purpose of the previous group of people coming here was to confirm whether Yuan Jian was really dead, and as for the life and death of the rest of the people, it didn't matter to them.

Back on the street, Yan Xiang re-integrated into the ranks of the homeless people, but he couldn't help but secretly ponder, if it was true as Yuan Jian said, then the scene he saw that day should also be true, then what was the purpose of the other party? Although Yuan Shu's power spans the land of three states, he is not the best candidate in any way. The more Yan Xiang thought about it, the more his head seemed to be closed in a bag of paste, unable to sort out his thoughts.

'It's imperative that the word get out here... It's just that not to mention whether he has the ability to meet Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others, just to say that Yuan Shu gives people the impression that he is perverse and domineering on weekdays, and now that he says such an unbelievable thing, how many people believe it? ’

After a night of thinking, in the end, Yan Xiang did not choose to go to Jingzhou to reunite with his family, but chose to go to Huaishui and go west through the mountains to find the peasant king!

First, Yan Xiang's cousin Yan Pu served as the Taishou of Hanzhong under the account of King Hongnong, and secondly, Yan Xiang was also afraid that once his whereabouts were exposed, his family would be affected.

In this way, Yan Xiang cautiously rushed all the way to Yizhou, but he was still targeted when he disembarked on the south bank of Huaishui, and chased him all the way to the dense forest here.

Yan Xiang was originally a civil official, and he was able to run away for so long without being caught up with his breath.

At this moment, Yan Xiang found that there was no smoke in front of him, Yan Xiang was overjoyed, the reason why the other party waited until he entered the dense forest to start chasing and killing, thinking that he didn't want too many people to know about it, and once he ran to a place where there was someone in front of him, maybe he still had a chance of life!

While thinking about it, Yan Xiang only felt a pain in his calf, and he stumbled and fell to the ground. Before he could react, a short knife with a cold light was placed on his neck!

"Who the hell are you? Why are you chasing me? Yan Xiang turned around and scolded fiercely.

"It doesn't matter who we are, it's Lord Yan, let me wait to find it! Why are we chasing and killing you, doesn't Lord Yan know it himself? The man in black teased.

Hearing this, Yan Xiang's body trembled, but he did not answer.

The man in black didn't bother, and said with a smile: "I heard that Master Yan's family is temporarily living in Xinye County, and the little boy has just learned to speak..."

Hearing this, Yan Xiang's body trembled, looked at the leader of the men in black angrily, and shouted, "What are you doing at me, why do you implicate the innocent?!" ”

The man in black seemed to be very satisfied with Yan Xiang's attitude, and said unhurriedly: "Then please ask our Master Yan to tell me what you know." ”

Yan Xiang didn't speak immediately, but his eyes wandered, obviously he was doing a psychological struggle, and the man in black was not in a hurry, just waiting quietly on the side.

After a long time, Yan Xiang sighed and said, "If I tell me what I know, will you let my family go?" I, Yan Xiang, swear by this, my family will never know about it! ”

"At this moment, Master Yan thinks, do you still have the qualifications to bargain?"

Yan Xiang sighed, slowly telling what it had seen and heard.

After Yan Xiang finished speaking, the leader of the men in black continued to ask: "In addition to you and Yuan Lian, is there a third person who knows?" ”

Yan Xiang shook his head: "After all, this matter is quite unbelievable, I haven't mentioned it to anyone here, and as for Yuan Lian, Yan doesn't know." I've already said what I should say about Yan, please don't harm your family! ”

The leader of the men in black nodded, came behind Yan Xiang, and said softly: "I'll send Master Yan to reunite with my family!" ”

"What?" Before Yan Xiang could react, a large head rolled to the ground, and Yan Xiang's dead eyes made people shudder.

"Let's go!" One of the men in black walked out, holding a wooden box to put the head of the elephant in his hand, and after doing all this, the man in black ran wildly in the direction he came, and disappeared into the dense forest after a few breaths...

After a long time, a young figure turned out behind a big tree not far from Yan Xiang and the others, and then the figures in the canopy flickered, and more than ten people dressed as villagers jumped from the tree flexibly and stood behind the young man.

The young man came to the headless corpse, shook his head with a wry smile and muttered to himself, "Taishi... He is really a man of God, and he can even calculate what is behind him, and he can grasp the time so accurately... If Liang didn't know the cause and effect, he would have thought that you guys had specially acted for Liang! ”

"Brother Zhuge is talking about it, it's just... Why don't you save that Yan Xiang, after all, he is the only one who knows the inside story..."I don't know when, a handsome man dressed strangely and with a colorful feather on his head appeared behind the young man, and slowly asked.

The young man shook his head and said calmly: "The gains outweigh the losses... If those killers have an accident, it will definitely arouse the alarm of those people, and then we will lose our greatest advantage, so as not to let down the painstaking efforts of that adult, the moment when it is our turn to appear on the stage is not far off... Xingba! ”

…

After a month,

Yizhou-Chengdu

"Your Highness, although this year's harvest has decreased by nearly two percent as in previous years, with the repair of roads, the transportation between the Western Regions Protectorate and Jiaozhou and Wuya Prefecture has more than doubled as before, so that fish, fruits and vegetables in the south, and meat in the northwest can be used as staple food.

Especially in the south, fish is simply inexhaustible! And in order to prevent the rancid fish from deteriorating, it can also be made into dried fish, so that it is not a problem to store it for three or five years! ”

This year's food problem has finally been solved! He Si'an breathed a long sigh of relief, and also had the leisure to care about other things.

"A few days ago, I heard that on Cao Cao's side, there were merchants from various families who were crazy about hoarding grain, so that the price of grain rose by nearly double at the peak, but now I don't know how to deal with it in the end?"

"Your Highness!" Xu Shu bowed and continued to speak: "Not only Cao Cao's family, but also Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Liu Xuan and other territories have such a situation!" Among them, Cao Cao was the first to deal with several families involved in it and whose backgrounds were not very strong... and confiscate all their belongings and food! Other families see that this method is quite practical, and they also follow the same example, and for a time they provoked large and small families, everyone is in danger, frightened, and no one dares to swallow and raise the price of grain, many big families have strictly ordered some side branch children not to participate in it, otherwise the family law will serve! ”

He Si'an shook his head, although this method can solve a temporary need, but it is still a symptom rather than a root cause, and some will be accepted in the future.

"By the way, I heard that Liu Bei is under house arrest with Cao Cao, is there any news?"

"The day after Liu Bei arrived in Xuchang, he confronted His Majesty in the court, and then took the initiative to stay in Xuchang to cooperate with Cao Cao in order to have a clear expression."

Hearing what Xu Shu said, He Si'an's expression was strange, and this scene was surprisingly consistent with history. I thought of the classic line from my previous life that was enough to go down in history: 'Then play, then dance!' He Si'an couldn't cry or laugh.

After returning to his house, He Si'an found an unexpected person waiting in the front yard.

Seeing this person's arrival, He Si'an's eyes lit up, he took a few steps, and said excitedly: "Sir, why do you remember to be a guest in my house?" As he spoke, he picked up Jia Xu and walked to the inner hall.

Soon, the two sat down separately, and the two exchanged a few words, and Jia Xu went straight to the topic to explain the intention of this visit.

"Your Highness, Xu came here this time to confess to His Highness, and Xu is going to go out for a while..."

Hearing this, He Si'an was stunned for a moment, but quickly calmed down, and said with a smile: "Sir, if it weren't for your help, Si'an would not have been able to achieve what he is today." I wonder when Mr. is going to leave? Do you need Si'an to call Zilong and escort Mr.? ”

Hearing this, Jia Xu was very moved, it can be said that He Si'an has achieved the greatest trust of a lord in his courtiers, not only did he not ask where to go or how long he went, but also so that he could be willing to send Zhao Yun out...

"Don't bother Zilong... Lord! Jia Xu used this title that he hadn't used for a long time, and he was deeply impressed by He Si'an...
