Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 505
Yuan Xi looked at the ceiling with serious thoughts. He was actually very hesitant about the marriage between Lu Xun and Liu Bei's daughter. Whether or not Lu Xun and Liu Bei should establish such a close relationship would affect his future strategy?

After finally finding a talent with the potential to be called the top three in the world, if Liu Bei abducted him, wouldn't he cry to death?
He felt that Lu Lingqi beside him moved a little bit, and his breathing was a little heavy, and he knew that Lu Lingqi had woken up, so he said: "The matter that Mrs. Liu Bei mentioned has been settled."

"Mr. Gongyu proposed to choose Boyan."

"But I'm very hesitant."

He felt Lu Lingqi beside him move, seemed to be trembling, so he stretched out his hand and said, "You don't have a fever, do you?"

Madam Du's mind went blank.

I slept soundly, but suddenly woke up and felt that there was someone lying on the bed behind me!

When she heard the other party's voice, she suddenly realized that the other party was that fierce tiger, but she thought of herself as Lu Lingqi!
Mrs. Du wants to cry, but can't you tell the difference between Lu Lingqi's body shape and your own?

Can this also be admitted?
Or intentional?
She noticed that the other party was talking on his own, and Mrs. Du gradually realized that the other party might have admitted his mistake.

After she carefully looked at the wooden wall in front of her and looked at the patterns on it, she realized that it was obviously not her bed!

The place where everyone lived was a small three-story building, each floor had bedrooms, Madam Du usually rested in a bedroom on the ground floor, but definitely not this one!
Only then did Madam Du wake up. She stayed in Lu Lingqi's bedroom on the second floor to pack her things, and fell asleep lying on the table without knowing it.

In a daze, Lu Lingqi supported herself on the couch, covered herself with a quilt, and then Lu Lingqi went upstairs.

Mrs. Du was now completely clear-headed. This was most likely a misunderstanding, but what should she do now?
Pretending to be asleep?

Audible reminder?

But I heard that fierce tigers are lustful, if I speak out by myself, will it be counterproductive?

When Madam Du hesitated, her limbs became stiff and her breathing stopped.

She bit her lip, feeling that her body was not in control, the words were on the edge of her mouth, but was swallowed back, she bit the tip of her tongue, and finally mustered up the courage to speak, but the other party's hand stopped suddenly.

Yuan Xi's voice came, "Are you Mrs. Du?"

"Why are you on Lingqi's couch?"

Mrs. Du stammered: "This is a misunderstanding."

She felt that Yuan Xi's hand was slowly loosened and retracted slowly, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but she felt a little lost for some reason.

In the end, Yuan Xi said: "Anyway, I have already made a mistake, so let's make another mistake."

Madam Du's face was hot and she bit her lip. This fierce tiger is so shameless!
The two lay still and did not move.

The weather in Xuzhou is obviously much warmer than that in Youzhou. There may be occasional snowstorms in Youzhou at this time, but Xuzhou has already entered the early spring.

After the severe winter, the branches of the flowering trees in the garden have already dried up, but as the weather warms up, the roots absorb nutrients from the soil, and the cracked bark rejuvenates, while the branches have begun to bloom with new green shoots.

After a while, Mrs. Du's voice was as thin as a mosquito, with a bit of embarrassment.

"My lord, please respect yourself!"

Yuan Xi said in a low voice: "I'm already very self-respecting."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Du couldn't help pulling down her skirt again.

She felt the other person's breath brushing against the back of her neck, and her body couldn't help but tremble. Did the other person want to eat her up here?

Lu Lingqi is upstairs, she will wake up anytime!
Fortunately, Yuan Xi stopped at the last step, and said softly, "Lingqi is upstairs?"

Madam Du nodded, feeling that Yuan Xi had finally pulled his hand away, and then she heard Yuan Xi sitting up behind her, stomping and staring up the stairs.

Only then did her body relax, and she exhaled a long breath, then stared at the board wall in front of her without moving, and after a long time, she turned over, looked up at the roof and became dazed.

Yuan Xi went upstairs, but saw that Lu Lingqi had already got up, and was dressing up in front of the window with her back turned to her.

With a thump in his heart, he stepped forward, took the carved tortoise shell comb from Lu Lingqi, and helped her comb her hair.

Through the reflection of the bronze mirror, Lu Lingqi saw the guilty look on Yuan Xi's face behind her, and said with a half-smile, "Do you have the guts to admit it?"

Yuan Xi finished thinking, Lu Lingqi's ears are too good!

I can't hide from her what I do in the future, how lonely is this?
Huh, thinking about it this way, it seems more exciting?
When Lu Lingqi saw that Yuan Xi was silent, she said bitterly: "Forget it, if she can really follow you, it's not necessarily a bad thing."

"I understood a lot about the battle a few days ago. There is no need to talk about reason and justice in war. Whoever has the biggest fist can survive, and whoever does it is naturally right."

"I don't want to be that kind of commoner who allows mermaids to be eaten, but Cao Cao has gone too far."

She said worriedly: "He is very powerful in the court, will father be okay?"

Yuan Xi said, "Don't worry, Marquis Wen led the troops to Yuzhou to attack Yuan Shu."

"However, Cao Cao will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble. I have already sent an urgent letter to Marquis Wen to be careful."

"After all, if Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shu from behind, it would be difficult for Marquis Wen to deal with it."

Seeing that Lu Lingqi looked more worried, Yuan Xi comforted him: "Don't worry, Chen Gongtai has some ideas. Cao Cao is not just covering the sky with one hand. The emperor is still very sensitive to those who want to covet his power."

"But the officials at the Han court, the ghosts and ghosts are probably going to jump out."

"We are too far away to help. What we can do now is to organize the defense of Guangling County as much as possible, and then use Guangling as a springboard to plan for Shouchun."

"But other people also think the same way. Cao Cao, Yuan Tan, and Sun Ce are three parties, and it's not easy to handle any of them."

Lu Lingqi also knew that Yuan Xi was burdened with too many things, so she took the opportunity to change the topic and said, "Madam Liu Bei is looking for a husband, is there anyone for her husband?"

After hearing this, Yuan Xi told about Lu Xun, Lu Lingqi said: "I think the two of you are very suitable, why does your husband hesitate?"

Yuan Xi thought to himself, I can't say that because Lu Xun is Liu Bei's nemesis, so I used it as my trump card, right?
Lu Lingqi thought for a while, and then said: "My husband has opened up the situation in Youzhou, but it is really difficult in Xuzhou."

"Not to mention Cao Cao and Sun Ce, even Yuan Tan is probably very problematic. When my husband was in danger, he stood by and took the opportunity to occupy the East China Sea. He went even further than outsiders."

"This is too lowly. You are still brothers. It is far worse than General Guan rushing alone to help your husband."

"If you want me to say that as an ally, the most reliable ones are only people like Liu Yuzhou?"

Yuan Xi suddenly came to his senses.

That's right, given my current situation in Xuzhou, am I still qualified to pick and choose?

It is true that Liu Bei likes to buy people's hearts, and he may also take advantage of it, but in general, he is already one of the few people with the highest moral level among the princes in this troubled world!
Now that I want to rely on Xuzhou to open up the situation, it is the best choice to hold a group with Liu Bei to keep warm. At least at least, Liu Bei will not stab himself in the back at present!
If one day I want to be an enemy of Liu Bei, I am afraid that the situation is already extremely bad, and it is likely that I have done something outrageous and resentful. At that time, relying on Lu Xun alone may not be able to play a decisive role.

Although there are close relatives, it is not as good as a benevolent person. If the common people have faults, I will give it to one person.

Forging iron still has to be hard.

As long as you do things right, what are you afraid of?
Thinking of this, he laughed, "We should really be thankful to have an ally like Liu Bei at this time."

"After a while, I will send an order to Guangling to let all parties search for Liu Yuzhou's whereabouts."

With the issuance of a series of secret orders, Guangling began to plan intensively, but before that, Mrs. Liu Bei's body could no longer hold on.

After obtaining his consent, Yuan Xi served as a matchmaker for Lu Xun and the Liu family, and they got married.

Then Mrs. Liu Bei passed away on the second day of their marriage.

Yuan Xi could only manage Mrs. Liu Bei's funeral. According to her will, she was buried first. When Liu Bei is found in the future, whether to lift out the coffin and send it back to Zhuojun is a matter in the future.

But during this period, there was still no news from Liu Bei, and Yuan Xi's letter requesting to meet Yuan Tan was like a stone sinking into the sea, and no reply was received.

Yuan Xi looked at the dilapidated city of Qu on the opposite side of the Huai River, and thought that Yuan Tan's actions were so obvious, regardless of the face of both sides, maybe he really started to suspect and guard against himself because of the male heir?

Yuan Tan's army occupied most of Donghai County, leaving Qucheng alone. When Mi Fang fled, he was poisoned by bandits pretending to be Cao Jun, and it was almost in ruins.

Yuan Xi sent someone to help Mi Zhen check the situation of the Mi family's mansion in the city, and found that it was almost completely looted, and the only thing of value in the Mi family were the destroyed ships at the dock.

At that time, because of the emergency, the traitor only damaged the rudder of the ship, so after repairs, most of the ships of the Mi family caravan can be put into use again, but Mi Fang, the head of the Mi family, has already fled, and there is no cargo to transport.

The only good thing is that most of the critical box of cotton seeds have been safely sent to Youzhou, and they are trying to sow seeds.

Yuan Xi found that he was quite unable to advance or retreat. The land passage to attack Shouchun in the south could only go through Xiapi, but now it was in Cao Cao's hands.

He understood that Cao Cao was more anxious than himself, because he was staring at Cao Cao's rear.

Right now is the time to compete for patience, whoever loses his temper first will lose half, so Yuan Xi has to be patient, and resume local production while preparing for military training.

Until one day, the edict of the Han court arrived.
