Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 47 Long Night

The two suddenly felt that they had nothing to say, and the atmosphere became ambiguous for some reason.

Wu Zhao's breathing became a little short, and he couldn't help but put his hands on his chest, covering the greasy white on the front of his collar.

Yuan Xi felt a little parched, he remembered that Wu Zhao mentioned her age once, and like Yuan Xi, she should be around 20 years old.

Wu Zhao said that she was widowed after marrying at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Yuan Xi thought it should be true. After all, women in the late Han Dynasty generally married at the age of 13 to 16.

Because during the time of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court required women not to marry when they were over fifteen to thirty years old, and they had to pay five times the tax in five calculations.

Emperor Hui of the Han himself also set an example. His queen, Zhang, married into the palace at the age of 12, and Emperor Zhao of the Han married a six-year-old queen when he was eight.

Except for the rich family who can delay for a year and a half, most women will not marry beyond the age of 15.

Therefore, it is speculated that Zhen Mi, whom Yuan Xi is going to marry, will not be more than sixteen or seventeen years old at this time.

Yuan Xi had to admit that Wu Zhao's facial features were actually very upright and attractive. If his face hadn't been destroyed, he should have an extremely good appearance.

Although his figure has been concealed, it should not be bad, and coupled with his age, the smile just now made Yuan Xi suddenly feel a little restless in his heart.

He opened his mouth, and just about to say something, the door was knocked quickly again.

Yuan Xi was angry, what happened tonight!
He opened the door angrily, and found Zhao Yun standing at the door with a serious face. Seeing Yuan Xi coming out, he said, "There was a change in the barracks outside the city. General Qu drove out of the city with a few people."

Yuan Xi was startled. Qu Yi left in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to tell him. Obviously, the situation was urgent!
This is probably aimed at Gao Lan. Before Gao Lan left, he didn't even choose a maidservant. There is a problem with the fact that a general can endure this much.

But Yuan Xi didn't expect Gao Lan to react so strongly, did he see any clues?
Great!
Yuan Xi said decisively: "Brother Zhao, how many can you call? After half a cup of tea, we set off outside the gate of the house, and come out of the city with me to meet Brother Qu."

Zhao Yun nodded and hurried out.

Yuan Xi went back to the room, picked up the Zhajia from the corner and put it on his body, feeling upset, what on earth was he going to do?
Could it be possible to lead troops to attack the city?

He tried to fasten the Zhajia belt with his backhand, which affected his waist injury, immediately hissed and took a deep breath.

Wu Zhao hurried up to help Yuan Xi put on the armor, and said in a low voice, "Young master, don't worry, now that the eldest son is also in the mansion, Gao Lan may not have the guts to do anything."

Yuan Xi felt as if he had taken a reassurance after hearing this.

Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi are both in the mansion, if Gao Lan is Yuan Tan's person, he would never launch the attack at this time.

If Gao Lan was Yuan Shang's man, he wouldn't be crazy enough to kill Yuan Shao's two sons, would he?

What is he going to do?
Koji....
Yuan Xi suddenly woke up, raised the ring head knife and said to Wu Zhao, "I'll go first."

He didn't have time to say anything else, and rushed outside the gate of the mansion. Zhao Yun had already prepared his horse and waited.

Yuan Xi got on his horse, and a group of people rode their horses and galloped out of the city.

Wu Zhao walked out of the house, looked worriedly at the direction Yuan Xi was going out, and after a while, closed the door and went back to the house.

In a corner of the courtyard, Madam Ma watched Wu Zhao and Yuan Xi separate from each other through the window, shook his head, and sighed: "It's a pity."

"What's the pity?" Sun Li sat behind Madam Ma and took care of the wooden bow. He carefully put the bowstring away and asked curiously.

Mrs. Ma turned her head and said to Sun Li: "Your Majesty went out this time, didn't he call you?"

Sun Li was stunned: "Brother said that I just got married and gave me ten days off."

The day before yesterday Sun Li married the young lady he met the day the wheat was harvested, and there was no room in the city for the time being, so Yuan Xi vacated a firewood house in the mansion for his and his wife to live in.

Hearing this, Mrs. Ma was extremely annoyed: "Your lord has saved our lives and took us in. You should never leave us. Now that your lord has been busy many times, but you are not by his side, how can you be a soldier!"

"If you are not allowed to go, will you really not go?"

"Those who lost our family!"

"If your husband has three good things and two bad things, you should kill yourself!"

"Go back to the house and find your wife, I don't want to see you!"

Sun Li didn't dare to refute, and walked out feeling disheartened, scratching his head, wondering why his mother was so angry tonight?
Nearly a hundred tents were set up in the barracks outside the city. The soldiers were resting inside, and there were also soldiers patrolling back and forth.

Anyone who saw this scene thought that Gao Lan was in the big tent.

However, no one expected that Gao Lan was leading a few of his subordinates and galloping south along the road when they came.

As a pillar of the Four Courts of Hebei, of course he would not raise troops to deal with Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, how could he have the qualifications.

But he recognized someone who shouldn't be alive.

With his demeanor, movements, and habits of gestures, Gao Lan immediately recognized the disfigured man with scars on his face as Ju Yi, who should have died a long time ago!

What does Second Master Yuan want to do?
Gao Lan didn't know if Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi left behind secret talks and reached an agreement, but if that was the case, Gao Lan felt that he was in a very dangerous situation!
Although he is a pillar of the Four Courts of Hebei, military generals are different from gentry. Most of them are from poor families with no support behind them.

Gao Lan didn't want to be sacrificed, he had to bring the news that Qu Yi was still alive back to Ye City and tell Yuan Shang!

Whoosh, whoosh, the rapid piercing sound came.

In a few blinks, a wave of bows and arrows shot down all the horses of Gao Lan's subordinates, and the people above fell to the ground.

Several arrows shot at Gao Lan's horse's head were shot down by him with a spear.

Gao Lan didn't care about his subordinates at this time, so he accelerated his horse and ran away.

There was the sound of fighting and screaming from behind.

Suddenly, a big man on horseback appeared in front of him, holding a long spear in his hand, and looked at Gao Lan coldly.

Gao Lan saw him and shouted, "Qu Yi!"

"You dare to rebel against the Second Young Master!"

Qu Yi sneered, "Damn your mother!"

The two horse spears intersected, and the burst of shouting shook the valley.

A quarter of an hour later, Gao Lan clutched his shoulders and galloped away at a faster speed.

Qu Yi cursed and jumped off the horse, the horse under his crotch plopped to the ground.

He and Gao Lan had fought dozens of moves to no avail, but Gao Lan was very insidious. He sold an opening, injured his shoulder, and stabbed Qu Yi's horse to death with a single shot.

It wasn't until Qu Yi realized that Gao Lan wanted to run away from the beginning!

However, at this time Gao Lan took the opportunity to escape hundreds of feet away, and when Qu Yi's men came to change horses, it seemed that he would not be able to catch up.

Gao Lan was panting and clutching the wound on his arm, thinking that there would be a big river in more than ten miles, and he had reserved people at the ferry over there in advance. When he crossed the river, he could change horses and flee all the way back to Jizhou!
Yuan Xi is so courageous that even Qu Yi dares to take him in, no wonder Mr. Yuan Shang fears him so much!

But if I can go back and report the letter, it will be a great achievement!
He jerked on the reins.

In front, Yuan Xi was riding a horse on the road, and beside him was a young general in white robe.

Gao Lan recognized what it was, the general Zhao Yun, an unknown soldier.

Yuan Xi said: "General, please stay."

Gao Lan took a few deep breaths, pulled the reins, accelerated suddenly, and laughed loudly: "I am Gao Lan, except Qu Yi, who can stop me!"

Seeing that the two sides were getting closer, Zhao Yun raised his gun and came out to meet Gao Lan.

Dark night, bright moon, cold wind, gunshots, and the sound of horseshoes.

The two horses staggered, and there was a bang.

Gao Lan's horse slowed down slowly. He clutched his chest, swayed a few times, and fell off the horse with a plop.
