Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1139: Surrounded House
When the centurion heard the screams coming from the mansion, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It seemed that this group of people in the caravan were in great danger. They had offended Zuo He. So what if the person behind the scenes was someone from Youzhou? A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.

He turned his head to look at the guards behind him, and saw that they all looked normal. They were not looking inside the door, but staring at the sky for some reason. He couldn't help but wonder, your master is in danger, aren't you all anxious?
No wonder people say that doing business is a lowly profession. Everyone is so cold-hearted. If they were soldiers, they would never be like this.

The centurion was lost in thought, but the continuous screams coming from inside the mansion finally made him realize that something was wrong.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, there were so many screams, which means there were more than twenty people involved. Only ten people from the Zhen family caravan went in, so what about the others?

Could it be from the Bu family?

Zuo He killed everyone?
Just as the centurion was puzzled, he heard a very familiar scream, which was made by Zuo He!
The centurion then realized that it was the Yuan family’s people from the caravan who were killing Zuo He’s people!

They were stunned. Is the Zhen family caravan so ferocious? How dare they do that?

This is a big deal. I let the person in there myself. If I can't stop him, I will lose my head!
Thinking of this, he knew that he was in big trouble, and quickly ordered the soldiers to rush in. As a result, the shop assistants who were watching the show just now immediately pulled out long swords from their boxes and surrounded the soldiers in the center.

The centurion finally realized that there was something wrong with this group of caravans. He shouted, "Why, you dare to use force in Guangling City, do you want to know what will happen to you?"

The captain of the trading company said calmly: "Of course we know."

"Before the Lord comes out, you stay still."

Madam Bai sneered and said, "You don't have armor, do you really think you can beat us?"

The leading captain showed disdain on his face, "You can try, but I advise you not to try."

Mrs. Bai saw that the other party was fearless, and thought that the few people who went in would be able to defeat Zuo and his soldiers. She couldn't help but murmur in her heart, and she said in a hoarse voice: "Who sent you?"

The captain of the trading company said calmly: "I'm not lying to you. We are indeed that person's people."

The centurion felt cold. If this group of people were enemies, he could still resist. But if they were really King Jin's men, what would be the fate of them?
The captain of the trading company looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Don't worry, as long as you haven't done anything that would anger God or people, the lord is still very generous."

Before the centurion could figure out the meaning of these words, the screams in the mansion gradually weakened, with only a few groans heard occasionally, and it was obvious that the dust had settled.

His expression changed several times, and finally he let go of the hand holding the hilt of the knife and ordered the soldiers to put down their weapons and wait.

Not long after, the door of the mansion slowly opened, and two people came out first, carrying Zuo He.

When the centurion saw the two daggers stuck in Zuo He's body, he groaned in pain and had to go forward.

When Zuo He saw the centurion, he immediately shouted, "These thugs are killing my soldiers. Hurry up and call everyone in the city to come and kill them all!"

Sun Li used his short knife to cut a hole in Zuo He's neck. Blood flowed out. Zuo He screamed in pain like a pig waiting to be slaughtered.

Yuan Xi came out and saw this, and smiled and said, "This guy is quite tough. If I didn't know what he did, I would have called him a real man."

"But after hearing what he did, I just felt sick."

The centurion didn't recognize the person behind him at first, but when he carefully identified his clothes, he realized that this person was the young master of the Zhen family!
At this time, Yuan Xi had washed off the powder on his face, revealing his true face. There was a bit of majesty between his eyebrows, which made the centurion take a half step back and asked in a hoarse voice: "Who are you?"

The girl from the Bu family supported Bu Zhi, and her heart was also quite uneasy. She had previously thought that Yuan Xi was a dandy boy with all the makeup on, but after washing off the makeup, he revealed such a heroic face. This was completely different from the noble sons she had seen before. He looked more like a young general.

Moreover, what he did also made the girl from the Bu family stare in amazement. Just now when Zuo He took action, this young man and his maid also joined the battle and personally killed several Zuo He soldiers who wanted to take advantage of them!

Thinking of this, the girl from the Bu family couldn't help but glance at Lu Lingqi who was standing next to Yuan Xi. She was holding double halberds, her body was covered in blood, but there was a satisfied smile on her face. The girl from the Bu family couldn't help but feel a little confused. Who are these people?
Moreover, the lord Bu Zhi was referring to should be the King of Jin. Could it be that this woman is also the King of Jin’s person?

Yuan Xi said to the centurion at this time: "I just heard that Zuo He kidnapped many women under the pretext of practicing Buddhism?"

"Is this possible?"

The centurion looked at Zuo He, and seeing his threatening gaze, he couldn't help but shrink his neck and said with a smile: "Sir, please don't embarrass me. I have my own difficulties."

Yuan Xi said calmly: "I understand. Go and call the Patriarch of the Zhao family."

The centurion was stunned. The Zhao family was a prominent noble family in the city. How could they give face to a military leader like him?

Zuo He laughed wildly and said, "Do you know who the Zhao family's Patriarch is to me?"

"You're dead today!"

Yuan Xi looked at the chaotic streets and knew that the situation here should have been discovered by the spies in the city, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can wait, he will come sooner or later."

He immediately called a few guards and asked them to look for the officials of the Procuratorate in the city. He was very angry. Since Xuzhou was not a war zone, he did not pay much attention to the local intelligence. He did not expect that there were so many problems among the people!
He asked Sun Li and Zhang Fang to tie Zuo He to the pillar behind the door. Zhang Fang pulled out the tip of the knife, causing Zuo He to scream again in pain. Zhang Fang sneered and stuffed a ball of cotton into his wound, saying sarcastically, "How can you fight a war if you scream over such a small injury?"

Zuo He yelled, "You are finished, finished, do you understand?"

"When the Zhao family's people arrive, you will all die. Die!"

Zhang Fang ignored him and stuffed a piece of rag into Zuo He's mouth and tied him up like a rice dumpling.

The soldiers in the city were finally alarmed, and soldiers rushed over from all directions. Zhang Fang ordered his men to block the car at the door, and then said to Yuan Xi: "My lord, do you want to launch a rocket?" Seeing Yuan Xi nod, Zhang Fang found a rocket and lit it. The rocket soared up and exploded above Guangling City.

The people in Guangling City all looked up at the same time, saw the fireworks exploding in the sky, and wondered what was happening.
The Zhao family soon learned that Zuo He was held hostage by the Bu family. The Zhao family's patriarch was discussing matters with the patriarchs of several other large families. Hearing this, he sneered, "Where did this lunatic have the guts to actually start a fight in Guangling City?"

Several other family heads echoed, "I'm afraid it wasn't Bu Zhi who ordered this. We finally caught him!"

"Do you want us to mobilize our private soldiers to help rescue General Zuo?"

The head of the Zhao family sneered and said, "No need. If our Zhao family can't even handle such a small matter, there's no need to stay in Guangling!"

"Anyone who dares to touch my Zhao family will die!"

He immediately summoned his servants, and within half an hour, nearly a thousand servants armed with weapons gathered outside the mansion. The Patriarch of the Zhao family sat in the carriage and said, "Go surround the Bu family mansion!"

Thousands of slaves rushed to the Bu family with swords and guns raised. The head of the Zhao family said to the other heads of the family: "Today I want to see Bu Zhi die in front of me with my own eyes. Will you go?"

The others laughed and said, "How can we not watch such a good show? Of course we will go together!"

Everyone rode in a carriage and rushed all the way to Bu Zhi's residence. The Zhao family's servants had already surrounded the house. The Zhao family's patriarch, along with several other family masters, walked forward leisurely and saw Bu Zhi at the door of the house.

The Zhao family patriarch took a few steps forward and shouted, "Bu Zhi, you are so bold, pretending to be sick but actually rebelling in secret!"

"Hurry up and surrender, maybe there is a chance to survive!"

Bu Zhi said, "Zhao Fan!"

"You took advantage of the envoy's troops to cause chaos. Aren't you afraid that the king will investigate you?"

The Zhao family patriarch laughed and said, "Making trouble?"

"I think you are the one causing the trouble!"

"I want to see, does the king believe you or me?"

Naturally, he was fearless. Bu Zhi would not survive today, and what could the King of Jin find in Guangling if he sent people to investigate?
At this time, a voice sounded, "I naturally believe in Zishan now."

"Are you Zhao Fan, the head of the Zhao family?"

When several family heads saw a young man coming out from behind Bu Zhi and actually calling Zhao Fan by his name, some of them sneered, "Who is this wild man who dares to call a family head by his name?"

One of the family heads said in a sinister tone, "Bu Zhi, Bu Zhi, you are harboring an assassin, is this the person?"

"Hand over General Zuo quickly, maybe you can still survive!"

Yuan Xi stepped aside and showed everyone Zuo He tied to the pillar. He asked coldly, "Is this the man you are talking about?"

Zuo He was originally depressed, but when he saw his father-in-law coming, he immediately became energetic again, crying with snot and tears, "Father of the family!"

"This traitor actually dared to stab me with a knife. I am so miserable!"

"My father-in-law must rescue me and avenge me!"

The Zhao family's patriarch's face turned cold, and he shouted, "Why don't you let him go!"

Before he finished speaking, Lü Lingqi, who was beside Yuan Xi, stabbed Zuo He's thigh with a halberd and shouted, "Who are you threatening?"

Zuo screamed like a pig being slaughtered. Several family heads present did not expect the other party to be so ruthless. Their faces changed. The face of the Zhao family head was ugly. He sneered: "Well, well, there are still people in Guangling City who don't give face to my Zhao family!"

"Do you think that the people in my Zhao family are just decorations?"

Upon hearing this, all his servants raised their weapons and shouted. For a moment, the roar was deafening. The civilians nearby were so scared that they closed their doors and windows for fear that they would be affected.

Yuan Xi took a step forward, "Zhao Fan, I want to ask you a question."

"Zao He raped a woman, did you know about this?"

Zhao Fan sneered after hearing this: "Where did you come from, kid? You dare to call me by my name when you are about to die!"

"Those women were offered to King Jin. Who are you to ask this?"

After saying this, Bu Zhi's face looked strange, and Lu Lingqi couldn't help laughing.

Yuan Xi was furious and sneered, "For the King of Jin?"

"I do not know how?"
