Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 344 Self-defeating
Although Lu Bu was furious, he hadn't lost his mind yet. He swung Fang Tian's painted halberd and slashed wantonly in order to intimidate the enemy. As he expected, when the enemy saw him rushing in, they immediately lost their fighting spirit and ran away in a panic.

But Lu Bu was in a bad mood, because he found that these rebellious soldiers were wearing clothes that he had never seen before, and it was impossible to tell whose subordinates they were.

Moreover, the more Lu Bu walked inside, the more frightened he became. There were scenes of brutal fights everywhere. Many people who died on the ground were greeted at the key points of their faces, and the strikes were extremely quick.

Lu Bu rushed all the way to the back house, and found that in front of his wife and daughter's dormitory, there was a dense pile of dead bodies, blood had accumulated on the ground into puddles, and the air was filled with a stench.

He was startled, looked intently, and saw more than a dozen soldiers blocking the door, stabbing inside with spears.

When Lu Bu saw it, his eyes were about to split open, and he shouted, "I'm courting death!"

He strode to catch up, and Fang Tian's painted halberd pierced through the back of a soldier with a shrill sound!

The soldier screamed, but he was still alive for a while, twisting and struggling on the tip of the halberd, like a dragon being stabbed by a fork.

With a low growl, Lu Bu actually picked up the man and threw him at the other soldiers, several of them fell to the ground immediately.

Seeing that it was Lu Bu who had returned, those people became even more flustered and fled to both sides. How could Lu Bu let them get what they wanted? He blocked them with a horizontal halberd and shouted: "No one wants to leave today!"

Someone wanted to sneak away, but when Lu Bu saw it, Fang Tian threw down his painted halberd, splitting the opponent's head in half.

Now everyone lost their spirits and knelt down to beg for mercy.

Lu Bu ignored them and asked the soldiers behind to watch over them, and strode towards the door by himself.

As soon as he stepped into the threshold, he saw three halberd points pointing at him behind the left and right doors, subconsciously about to fight back, but when he saw the person holding the halberd, he was taken aback, "Why are you?"

One of them was of course Lu Lingqi, her face was covered with blood, she was in a daze, and seemed to be unable to stand, when she heard Lu Bu's voice, she came back to her senses and said, "Father?"

"is it you?"

Seeing that Lu Lingqi was covered in blood, Lu Bu asked in surprise, "Are you injured?"

Lu Lingqi shook her head, tears welled up in her eyes, "I'm fine, and my mother is safe in the back room."

"But Master, Master, he..."

Seeing that Lu Lingqi was fine, Lu Bu felt relieved, and then looked at the other person behind the door.

Qu Yi held his halberd upright, with his eyes slightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep, and there were still several spears pierced into his body.

But he still held up the halberd and pointed out the door, as if his body was frozen.

Lu Lingqi cried: "Master blocked the door with his body to prevent them from coming in, but there are too many of them, Master still..."

At this moment, Koji's voice sounded.

"I haven't died so easily."

Under Lu Lingqi's surprised gaze, Qu Yi slowly opened his eyes, "I was hacked more than 100 times back then, compared to this, this little injury is nothing."

When he opened his mouth, blood kept dripping down from the corner of his mouth, "But I still need to trouble Marquis Wen to find a healer. A few shots were stuck in different places, and it hurts."

Only then did Lu Bu feel relieved, and said in a deep voice, "Bu owes Dezhou a favor."

Qu Yi raised the tip of his halberd to support his body, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, she is also my apprentice after all, otherwise it would appear that my master is incompetent."

"Marquis Wen gave birth to a good daughter."

At this time Zhang Liao rushed over, grabbed the leader and asked a few words, then dragged him towards Lu Bu, saying, "Marquis Wen, this man has recruited."

"It is said that the Youzhou side ordered it."

Lv Bu was taken aback, "The Yuan family's fierce tiger?"

The man kowtowed again and again, "That's true, the villain is just following orders, and I ask Marquis Wen to forgive me!"

Lu Bu laughed loudly, turned to Qu Yi and said, "Dezhou, what do you think?"

Qu Yi's body was on the verge of falling, and he also laughed loudly, "What does Marquis Wen think?"

Lu Bu swiped Fang Tian's halberd and pointed it at Qu Yi, Lu Lingqi was anxious and was about to speak, but saw Lu Bu turned the halberd, and with a swipe sound, he cut off an arm of the man on the ground!
The man screamed miserably, rolled on the ground, and shouted: "I've already recruited them all, General, spare me!"

Lu Bu sneered again and again, and with another thrust of the halberd, one of the man's thighs was removed again, "How dare you lie to me!"

He raised his halberd and pointed at Zhang Liao, "Wen Yuan, let him suffer all kinds of torture, but don't let him die, I want to know who instigated it!"

Zhang Liao hurriedly took orders, thinking that this group of people really didn't have long-term eyesight. He was afraid that Marquis Wen might know something inside, and it was definitely not planned by Youzhou.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glanced at Qu Yi in the room, and thought to himself that this is the person who hides the tiger, could it be related to the fierce tiger?
Seeing that Zhang Liao had put everyone under arrest, Lu Bu withdrew his halberd. Xin Dao Qu Yi almost died here now, if it was instigated by a fierce tiger, it would be a big joke.

When he turned his head again, he found that Qu Yi was holding a long halberd, and he was about to lose his hold, so he hurriedly asked the soldiers to carry him down for treatment.

He looked at Lu Lingqi, saw that the two short halberds he was carrying were stained with blood as if he had just fished it out of a pool of blood, and he couldn't help saying: "Did you kill someone?"

Lu Lingqi grinned, "Not many, just ten or twenty."

Lu Bu sighed in his heart, and finally took this road.

Seeing that Lu Lingqi's face was pale, and cold sweat kept coming out of her forehead, he said in a broken voice, "You're hurt!"

Only then did Lu Lingqi feel pain coming from all over her body, her eyes darkened, and she fell to the ground.

She didn't know how long it took before she woke up and turned around. As soon as she opened her eyes, she found that her mother Yan's back was facing her, and she kept wiping the corners of her eyes.

She felt pain all over her body, raised her arm, and found that many places on her body had been bandaged. Xin Dao was fighting hard at that time, but she didn't feel any pain. She thought she was fine, but it turned out that she had already suffered a lot of injuries at that time.

She said, "Amma?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shi quickly turned around in surprise, "Ling'er is awake?"

"Ling'er is awake!"

She looked at Lu Lingqi who was wrapped into rice dumplings with distress, rubbed the corner of her eyes and said, "Don't do this next time!"

Lu Lingqi said triumphantly: "What did Mom say, if I hadn't been at the front, wouldn't we all have been killed?"

"Aren't my mother saying that it's useless for women to practice martial arts? Isn't my daughter protecting my mother?"

Yan sighed, she naturally knew this, but when she was hiding in the back room, she secretly watched Lu Lingqi killing people, why did she seem to be very similar to Lu Bu?
Is this still a lady?
A few days later, Yuan Xi received an urgent letter from Ju Shou Zhao Yun from Hanoi, saying that Lu Bu had agreed to join forces with Yuan Xi.

He also thought that Lu Bu was very straightforward this time, but he didn't understand until he learned the whole story.

Lv Bu's family members were assassinated, Qu Yi desperately blocked the rioters, and the thieves wanted to frame Yuan Xi, which was discovered by Lv Bu. This series of events was the reason why Lv Bu made up his mind.

It was also thanks to Qu Yi, if he was not present, it would be very difficult to clear up this matter.

After Yuan Xi learned of the whole incident, his joy was diluted a lot, because it was Qu Yi's life in exchange for it.

The letter said that Qu Yi's condition was not very good, with multiple wounds on his body. Although Lu Bu sought medical treatment, Qu Yi's injuries were still deteriorating. If he did not find a cure, he might not live long.

Seeing this, Yuan Xi called Guo Jiahua, Tuo Tianyu and the others, explained the situation to them, and said, "This time it all depends on Brother Qu to make things happen, but he was seriously injured because of this, and he must find a way to heal."

Hua Tuo read the contents of the letter and said: "From the symptoms, he has several injuries to his internal organs. The doctor just sewed up his wounds. I'm afraid his body is still bleeding. After a long time, his internal organs may rot. , it is useless to return to heaven."

"Now the abdomen must be opened and re-sewed up, but his body may not be able to withstand the exhaustion of the journey."

"If the young master sends me there, there is still some hope."

Guo Jia said: "Mr. Yuanhua's status is important now, can't you send a few apprentices?"

Hua Tuo shook his head, "I'm afraid it won't work."

"Those of my apprentices can heal the external wounds, but the inner skin matters are still far behind."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi got up and walked a few steps, thinking.

It is not impossible to send Hua Tuo there, but in the eyes of others, it is obviously suspected of making a small mistake.

Hua Tuo had a long-standing reputation. To the soldiers in the battalion, he was like a magic needle in the sea. If he left, the morale of the army would inevitably be shaken.

If they knew that Hua Tuo left to save someone, these sergeants would probably have some ideas.

Yuan Xi couldn't help pinching the fingers in his sleeves, and a battle between heaven and man broke out in his heart.

On the one hand, it is military discipline, and on the other hand, it is Qu Yi who was the first to follow him, but never asked for anything in return.

This is a dilemma, how should I choose?
Guo Jia, Tianyu and others all understood Yuan Xi's thoughts, but what they said at this time was inappropriate. Only Yuan Xi could make a decision.

Yuan Xi said to Hua Tuo: "Excuse me, sir, how long can Dezhou last?"

Hua Tuo took the letter and thought about it for a while, "This letter says that Dezhou has persistent high fever, difficulty breathing, and bloody sputum when coughing. I'm afraid it won't last for half a month."

"Even if we leave now, it's hard to say whether he can be treated."

"The old man once heard that his body was seriously injured a few years ago. I'm afraid the root of his body has been injured. If this is the case, the time will only be shortened. Things are not good."

Yuan Xi remained silent, and asked again: "Where is Yuan Shangjun?"

Tian Yu said: "Yan Rou's eyeliner reported that he has arrived in the northwest of Zhao County, and he will be able to enter several passes in the middle of Black Mountain in a few days."

Yuan Xi raised his head, "I want to take Mr. Yuan Hua to Hanoi."

"Our journey is meant to contain, and the goal of joining hands with Lu Bu to please the emperor has been achieved. Why not let Yuan Shang go to fight the Black Mountain Army here?"

"Guorang led people to set up camp from here, and built a defense line for the food road to Beixin City. We can occupy half of the Black Mountain Passage, which is not too small."

Guo Jia said immediately, "I object."

"This Black Mountain Passage may indeed not be important, but there is absolutely no need for Young Master to take risks alone."

"Not to mention that Lu Bu is a capricious person, even Hanoi today is not safe!"

"Who is the mastermind who attacked Lu Bu's family this time? Have you found out yet?"

"What if he is still hiding in Lu Bu's army, waiting for an opportunity to attack again?"

After hearing this, Tian Yu said, "I agree with Mr. Feng Xiao's idea."

"There is someone around Lu Bu who wants to frame you. If you go there, how can you know if he will deliberately assassinate you?"

Yuan Xi hesitated after hearing this, and he said shyly, "But Dezhou's danger this time is entirely due to my lack of thoughtfulness. If he dies because of this, I will not even see him for the last time..."

Guo Jia resolutely said, "Isn't he the one who voluntarily chose?"

"Before we went to the battlefield, which one was not conscious?"

"What's more, if he has a last word to tell the son, can it be conveyed by the prince and Zilong who are also in Hanoi?"

After hearing this, Yuan Xi could only say: "Let me think about it."

Guo Jia came out of the camp, shook his head, and thought that this emphasis on favors is one of the few shortcomings of the son, and it is very troublesome.

In Huaicheng Mansion, Qu Yi stood up, coughed and said to Lu Bu who came to visit, "I'm going back to Youzhou now."
