Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 17

The woman with black and red spots on her face slowly opened her eyes and stared at the roof, feeling dazed and not knowing where she was.

She felt the pain on her left shoulder, and only then remembered what happened before she fell into a coma. She broke out in a cold sweat and sat up all at once.

This movement was too forceful, causing another sharp pain in her left shoulder. She couldn't help turning her head to the side, and found that the place stabbed by Liu Bao's bronze spear had been carefully bandaged.

She smelled the bandaged place, and there was a pungent herbal smell, obviously it was covered with medicine.

The woman lifted the quilt covering her body and found that she had changed into a new skirt, and even the bodice that fitted her body was replaced with a new one, but it seemed a little tight, which made her feel a little tight in the chest.

Her face was burning hot, she bit her lip and put her hand into her clothes. After checking for a long time, she found that there was nothing unusual about her body, so she was a little relieved.

She looked up and looked around, and found that it was a wooden house, the bed was not high, and there were some weeds and firewood on the ground. Apart from that, there was only a table and nothing else.

She wanted to get up and get out of bed, but the wound on her shoulder started to hurt again, so she had to sit on the bed and rest.

The door creaked and was pushed open.

I saw a handsome young servant woman carrying the bowl of porridge and walked in. Seeing the girl sitting by the bed, she quickly put the porridge on the table and said, "Miss, are you awake?"

"The girl ate the porridge first, and I will report to you right away."

Upon hearing this, the woman bowed to the maidservant and said, "Thank you, my concubine, for saving my life and healing her wounds."

The maid smiled and shook her head, "I don't dare to be a girl, I'm just a servant."

"The girl's injury was caused by the gentleman who found a female doctor in the city to heal the girl. I just helped a little by the side."

The woman breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and asked again: "Who is Mr. Lang? Where is this place?"

The servant woman said: "Mr. Lang is the guard of Beixin City. He brought this injured and unconscious girl back home yesterday."

"Girl, let's have some porridge first, I'll report to Mr. Lang."

Seeing the servant girl going out, the woman went to the table and saw that the porridge in the wooden bowl was made from corn, and it was still steaming.

She picked up the wooden spoon, scooped a spoonful and put it in her mouth. The fragrance of rice porridge rolled on the tip of her tongue, and there were even a few shreds of minced meat in it.

At this time, the hunger in the stomach jumped up.

She swallowed the rice porridge in small mouthfuls, rejoicing that she survived the catastrophe, but at the same time worried in her heart, had the contents of those boxes been destroyed or divided?
Even if it is still there, how can she get it back?

She just felt out of breath, clutching her chest, it took a while to wake up, when she pulled off the clothes on her shoulders, and loosened a lot of the belt of the inner garment, she felt much more relaxed.

In the room over there, the three of Yuan Xi were still talking.

According to Dong Zhao's thinking, yesterday's bet, no matter whether Zhao Yun wins or loses, it is difficult to explain to Gongsun Zan.

Regardless of whether Zhao Yun wins or loses, Dong Zhao has a countermeasure, but Zhao Yun went back directly after losing, which caught him by surprise.

Yuan Xi sat up straight, and said to Dong Zhao: "Mr. Gongren, don't worry, then Zhao Yun's actions are bright, and this plan of killing two birds with one stone has already achieved more than half of it."

Dong Zhao heard this, and sighed: "It's also because he acted frankly. If it were someone else, this plan would never work."

"I admire the young master even more. Although Zhao Yun is unknown, the young master can know the strength of his character. This ability to know people is really amazing."

Ju Yi felt sore when he heard this, and said angrily: "When I am still strong, I may not be weaker than him!"

"It's a pity that I was careless yesterday and lost half a move. It's hateful!"

Yuan Xi and Dong Zhao looked at Ju Yi's wide open mouth, where the gap between the two teeth that had just fallen out was extremely obvious, and they couldn't help looking at each other and smiling.

Ju Yi only looked up to drink, but he didn't notice the cheap looks of the two of them. He suddenly remembered something and said, "This time I got a lot of good things. It seems that these Hugou have robbed a lot of good things. What should I do?"

Yuan Xi put the mutton in his mouth with his chopsticks. Although it was more fishy than the mutton in his previous life, he felt it was more delicious at this time.

The upper-class gentry didn't like mutton in the past, and felt that it tasted too much, but these years, famines have occurred frequently, and it is good to eat meat, but mutton has become a popular food.

Yuan Xi felt a little regretful in his heart, the steamed food did taste a bit harsh, but it cost too much to use it for barbecue.

In today's troubled times, spices are luxury goods, and it is difficult to get them. If you have spare money to buy spices, it is better to save a few bags of rice noodles to make people feel at ease.

He put down the wooden chopsticks and said, "I think so."

"In terms of military merits, it is calculated on the basis of headcount. This is a delicate job that needs multiple inspections. It can't be done in a few days, so you can take your time."

"After the goods are converted, the soldiers who died in battle will be given compensation first."

"Take out part of the rest and distribute it to the soldiers who participated in yesterday's battle, and the rest will go to Jizhou to buy food."

"As for the cultural relics that are hard to count, I want to take a large part and give it to Mr. Gongren."

Dong Zhao was a little surprised when he heard this: "Leave it to me?"

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Mr. Gongren wanted to join Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hanoi more than a year ago, but in the end he still wanted to go to Chang'an, right?"

"In the end, Mr. was left here by me. I felt very sorry, so I had to take some things as an apology. Chang'an officials and nobles are very fond of elegance. I keep these literary games for no use. Mr. Gongren will take them for management. It would be good to make more friends. of."

When Dong Zhao heard this, his heart was touched, and he still didn't believe it, "Master, really let me go?"

He has been wanting to leave this place for the past year, because he offended Yuan Shao after all, and it is at stake.

Although Yuan Xi treated him well, this place was ruled by Yuan Shao after all, if the news leaked out, he would not survive.

Now hearing that Yuan Xi wanted to let him go and gave him a lot of precious goods, how could he not like it?

But Dong Zhao felt a little lost for some reason.

Yuan Xi let him go easily, but he became unbalanced.

Could it be that Yuan Xi still looks down on him as a counselor?

He was a little depressed, and he said it bluntly: "Young master, do you think that I don't have the ability to assist the lord to accomplish great things?"

After Yuan Xi heard this, he knelt down on the table and bowed to Dong Zhao: "Mr. Gongren's words are serious."

"The boy is incompetent. He has been trapped in this city for several years, but he still can't seize the land of a county, because the general situation has not yet been achieved."

"In my heart, Mr. Gongren is the think tank of the world, and he is no less than Tian Fengjushou. It is a pity that my father has no capacity for others, and it is not Mr.'s fault."

"Therefore, I would like to help my husband to dive out of the abyss. If he becomes famous in Chang'an in the future and can still remember the feeling of being together today, I will be satisfied."

This is a very high praise, Tian Feng Jushou is now Yuan Shao's two major counselors, and others can't match it.

Yuan Xi's words came from the heart.

Dong Zhao played an extremely crucial role in Cao Cao's catering to Emperor Xian of Han in the future.

What he has to do now is to make Cao Cao's dark chess piece his own!

The only great enemy in this world is Cao Cao and a few others, so Yuan Xi has no confidence in being able to deal with it. He can only find a slight chance of winning if he poachs Cao Cao's corner at every opportunity.

Yuan Xi thought to himself that he is not a genius, so in this chaotic world where heroes are born, he can only find his own way of survival by seizing every opportunity and doing his best!
Just like yesterday when he risked his life and defeated Liu Bao before narrowly beating Zhao Yun.

Dong Zhao was also moved when he heard this, and he paid homage back: "I will remember the kindness of the young master today, and the kindness of dripping water should be repaid by springs."

Yuan Xi was overjoyed when he heard this. With these words, it was not in vain for him to stay with Dong Zhao for so long!

Dong Zhao was only in his 30s at this time, and he was in his prime. Although he had many military exploits, he was suspected by Yuan Shao and forced to flee, with an unknown future.

Only Yuan Xi knew that Dong Zhao would become one of Cao Cao's important advisers in the future.

Both Yuan Xi and Dong Zhao felt that the important matter in their hearts had been resolved, and they felt more at ease. They raised their glasses frequently and ate most of the food in front of them.

Only Qu Yi hadn't recovered from Zhao Yun's attack yesterday, drinking alone.

Dong Zhao saw it, he was in a good mood at the moment, and wanted to make fun of Qu Yi, when he saw a young servant woman walk in and said to Yuan Xi: "Mr. Wang, the injured girl you brought back yesterday woke up."
