Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 675

Hearing what Yuan Xi said, Zhen Mi was silent. She had no access to confidential military information, and she would not inquire about things that she could not do anything about, so she was not very impressed by this sentence. However, she knew that Lu Lingqi, who had been accompanying Yuan Xi all the time, could of.

When Lu Lingqi escorted the Zhen family back to Jicheng for refuge, Zhen Mi knew that the situation in Yecheng was very serious, otherwise Yuan Xi would not have specifically sent the Zhen family to the north for refuge.

From Lu Lingqi's words, Zhen Mi learned that the war in Jizhou and even the whole country was getting worse, and she couldn't help but become more worried about Yuan Xi's safety. For this reason, Lu Lingqi comforted Zhen Mi, saying that Yuan Xi was very considerate in his work and would definitely not Something happened.

But what no one expected was that the news of Lu Bu's death came first.

Thinking of Lu Lingqi who was guarding the body outside the city, Zhen Mi felt a sense of guilt in her heart. Fortunately, she had confidently entrusted Yuan Xi to her, but she completely ignored that the other party was just a girl younger than herself.

Yuan Xi saw Zhen Mi's expression and said, "Don't think so much. There are some things on the battlefield that many people who are stronger than me, let alone me, can't change, let alone you."

"Life and death are fateful. The battlefield is ruthless. Generals are famous here and die here. Those who go to the battlefield to fight for their lives should have this awareness."

"Besides, there are more soldiers who have not returned this time. I'm afraid many people's families will have a difficult time during the New Year."

Zhen Mi nodded and said softly: "Go and see Mrs. Wu quickly. She can't speak easily, and I'm afraid she's also in a lot of pain."

Yuan Xi didn't react for a moment and said: "What, Yuan Qian is sick?"

"No," Zhen Mi shook her head and said, "She learned about Sun Ce's assassination."

Yuan Xi was startled, "How did she know?"

Zhen Mi whispered: "Mr. Fengxiao came here. He not only told Madam Lu about the death of Marquis Wen in battle, but also revealed the assassination of Sun Ce."

Yuan Xi said in a deep voice: "Lingqi didn't tell me about this. She was afraid that if I knew about it, it would affect my decision to return to Jicheng."

"I understand your painstaking efforts. Let's talk to Mrs. Wu now."

He had vaguely guessed Guo Jia's thoughts. Although Yuan Xi knew that he was not compatible with Guo Jia as a counselor, he had to admit that the starting point of everything Guo Jia did was for his own great cause. Here, On point, it has far exceeded Yuan Xi's initial expectations.

In addition to the house, he walked all the way to Mrs. Wu's room. Seeing that the door was closed, he reached out and knocked on the door. After a while, Mrs. Wu came out and opened the door. When she saw it was Yuan Xi, she immediately knelt down. Yuan Xi He quickly held her wrist and said in a deep voice: "Go in and talk."

In Huan's house, Cao Jie lay in front of the window, walked toward Yuan Xi, entered Mrs. Wu's house, closed the door, and said to Cao Xian, who was holding Cao Hua, "Why didn't sister eavesdrop this time?" ?”

Cao Xian gently shook the sleeping Cao Hua in his arms and said in an old-fashioned way: "Cao Jie, you still don't understand many things, and you need to learn more."

"There are times, occasions, and things that are not suitable for eavesdropping, such as now."

Cao Jie seemed to understand, with a look of doubt on his face, "Is sister lying to me again?"

Cao Xian was even more proud, "Look, you can't even tell if I'm lying to you, and you still want to argue with me, so learn from it."

Cao Zhengji gritted his teeth and felt helpless. He thought to himself, just let your sister be a bitch for a few more years. I will catch up with you sooner or later!

In Mrs. Wu's room, Yuan Xi first joked a little with Sun Shangxiang, who was obviously much older. When he saw Sun Shangxiang pestering him to hug him, he raised him high and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a while. Our family Xiangxiang looks much more beautiful."

Sun Shangxiang chuckled and grabbed Yuan Xi's hair and pulled it out. Mrs. Wu couldn't stop it. She waited for a long time before speaking out: "Axiang, go back to the inner room to rest first. My mother has something to talk to the envoy about." talk."

Seeing Sun Shangxiang obediently enter the back room, Yuan Xi thought to himself, who would have guessed that such a well-behaved little girl in front of him would become a woman who likes riding horses and archery in the future?
He and Mrs. Wu sat opposite each other. Seeing that Mrs. Wu was embarrassed and tightening her lips, knowing that she didn't know what to say, he sighed and said softly: "I'm sorry about Bo Fu."

"I also only recently learned of his assassination."

Mrs. Wu whispered: "I'm not blaming anyone, it's just..."

She suddenly felt sad and burst into tears, "I know that the relationship with my husband now means that it is difficult to return to Jiangdong, but when I think of Ce'er being separated from me forever, I..."

Yuan Xi hesitated for a moment and said: "It's like licking a calf, let alone a human being."

"I heard that after Sun Bofu was assassinated, he was sent to Danyang, Wu County for treatment, not far from Guangling."

"Take the sea route from Piaoyuyi, then enter the Yangtze River from the mouth, and go directly to Danyang. If you go quickly, it will only take about ten days."

"If you are willing, I will send you back."

Mrs. Wu was a little surprised, "Are you... husband really willing to let me go back?"

Yuan Xi smiled bitterly and said: "Licking a calf is deeply affectionate, let alone a human being?"

"If Madam misses it, she will regret it for the rest of her life and bear a grudge against me, right?"

Mrs. Wu lowered her head silently, and after a long time she said with difficulty: "Actually, I am in a very difficult position."

"When I return, I may expose many... unspeakable things."

"I am only worried that it will affect the reputation of my husband and the Sun family..."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi smiled calmly, "I don't care about reputation or anything like that."

"What I'm worried about is that if my wife's identity is exposed and someone takes advantage of her, she will be in a worrying situation."

"Although the two relatives that Bo Fu relies on, the Sun family and the Wu family, are quite powerful, if they can use his wife's identity to make some fuss, they may not consider their kinship and may do something unfavorable to his wife. "

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu felt quite complicated. She only said in a low voice: "I have my own way. At least I won't let them use me to threaten... my husband..." After hearing this, Yuan Xi smiled and said: "I said it before. , I am a very shameless person and I don’t care at all.”

"What I'm worried about from beginning to end is just my wife. As for those people in Jiangdong, I don't pay attention to them yet."

"Madam, don't worry. If they dare to threaten you, I will use all my troops to go south to Jiangdong and see their courage."

Mrs. Wu was worried and happy at the same time, and said aloud: "This time I go to Jiangdong, what do you need me to do for you?"

Yuan Xi shook his head and said: "No, Madam wants to ensure her own safety."

"During your stay in Youzhou, I will ask someone to prepare a convincing fake experience. When the time comes, Madam will just say that it has nothing to do with me."

Mrs. Wu's mood was quite complicated. She felt that she had never been so valued by others.

When she was in Jiangdong, others took orders from her only because he was the mistress of the Sun family and the wife of Sun Jian, not because she was a daughter of the Wu family. But now Yuan Xi calmly puts her safety first. In front of me, at this moment, Madam Jean felt the respect she had never experienced before.

Tears flowed down her face. Yuan Xi held her hand and said softly: "I know that you have been living a very difficult life these past few years."

Mrs. Wu couldn't help crying after hearing this.

After a long time, she sat upright from Yuan Xi's arms, wiped her eyes, and said shyly: "I've lost my temper."

"Just now I thought that if I leave, I may never see my husband again, and I feel the pain in my heart. I..."

Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "I told you to worry about these things."

"I will go to Jiangdong sooner or later, so please wait for me."

"On that day, you will be able to stand by my side openly, and no one in the world will dare to criticize us."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu somehow completely relaxed her tense heart. She regained her composure, began to think for a moment, and then said, "In that case, I will try my best to mediate the relationship between my husband and Jiang Dong."

"Yuan Qian can't take him there, he can only leave it to my husband to take care of him."

"But Axiang... I'm afraid that her childlike words will be outed by others..."

Yuan Xi nodded, "This is indeed a problem."

"For the sake of Madam's safety, it's okay to let her stay here for a year or two."

He then smiled and said: "I didn't raise her in vain. Seeing that she is getting cuter and cuter, I want to kiss her as my daughter."

"It's just that she is five or six years older. I'm afraid I might have wronged her."

Mrs. Wu suddenly felt a little ridiculous and glanced at Yuan Xi, "This relationship is too messy. Although they are not blood relatives, people know the inside story, but..."

Yuan Xi laughed and said, "Don't the wealth flow to outsiders?"

Mrs. Wu was speechless for a while, this person is still so lazy!

Yuan Xi thought for a while and said, "I don't know what the situation is with Sun Boxu, but it's not too late to leave earlier, and maybe there won't be any regrets."

"I'm going to arrange the manpower now. Madam, please leave as soon as possible."

The lady listened and nodded in agreement. When she saw Yuan Xi getting up to go out, she stood up and looked at Yuan Xi's back through the gap in the window. For the first time, she felt that the other party was so reliable and she couldn't help but be stunned.

Yuan Xi went out, found Sun Li, and said, "You do something for me. The less people know about it, the fewer people will know about it."

He whispered what happened to Mrs. Wu in a low voice, and then handed the warrant to Sun Li, "Give this to Ziyi and ask him to escort Mrs. Wu south to Guangling, and then find a way to send her to Danyang."

"Anyway, Ziyi's family is all in Guangling, so it's just a good time to reunite him during the New Year."

Sun Li took the order to go to Taishi Ci. Yuan Xi remembered something and said, "Please ask Mr. Yuanhua to come. I have something to tell him."

Mrs. Wu listened to people coming and going outside, and it was already dark before she knew it. Sun Shangxiang and Yuan Qian had fallen asleep, and it became quiet outside. She packed the clothes in the box absentmindedly, although for a long time, she kept She was thinking about leaving Youzhou and returning to Jiangdong, but now that the opportunity came, her heart was empty.

Maybe after leaving, I will never go back to Youzhou again, right?

There was a knock on the door, and Yuan Xi stepped in and said softly: "Everything has been arranged. We will set off early tomorrow morning. General Taishi will escort us. There shouldn't be anyone who is not discerning along the way."

"By the way, I asked Mr. Yuanhua, and he agreed to go to Jiangdong with his wife to see if Bo Fu's injury can improve."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu became even more moved, "My husband has done so many things for me, I am only afraid that in this life..."

Yuan Xi took her hand, and the two snuggled together unconsciously. Mrs. Wu mustered up her courage and raised her hand to fan out the oil lamp.

Yuan Xi was startled and then understood.

Soon, in the darkness of the room, a sound that was desperately suppressed but wantonly wild came out.
