Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 79
"Get up and take your medicine!"

Gao Lan turned over and sat up, feeling some pain in his chest.

With the faint light of the oil lamp, he saw a man coming down from the cellar, carrying a bowl of boiled herbal soup, and put it on the iron fence, just within his reach.

Gao Lan touched his chest and sighed.

That night, the gunman named Zhao Yun stabbed him in the chest. The point of the gun pierced through the gap in the armor, pierced through the soft armor inside, and nailed into his body.

The point of the gun penetrated an inch into his body and hit him in the ribs, making him breathless, his eyes went dark, and he fell off the horse.

At that moment, he was extremely unwilling, he was already exhausted from fighting with Qu Yi earlier, Zhao Yun took advantage of this danger!

If he wins all, he may not be able to block the shot!
Then everything was useless, the glorification of the ancestors, the inheritance of the family, all came to naught, thinking of his wife who had just been married for less than a year, he lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he found that he was not dead, and the wound on his chest was bandaged, but he didn't know where he was locked up.

The place Gao Lan was in seemed to be a cellar with ladders connected to it. The place was small and blocked by iron fences. Food and medicine were delivered twice a day.

But no matter what questions Gao Lan asked the other party, the food delivery person never said a word.

Gao Lan saw that his steps were strong and he moved quickly when going up and down the ladder. He was obviously not an ordinary person, and he was most likely a private soldier.

Gao Lan still can't guess that these eight achievements are the dead soldiers raised by Yuan Xiyin, what exactly is he going to do?
But now he has been staying for half a month, and he has not seen the sun all day, and he is almost going crazy, almost reaching the limit.

Other prisons, at least have a light-transmitting window, who the hell came up with this kind of underground prison!

Gao Lan even felt that as long as someone came over, no matter what conditions were asked, he would agree!
This dark place is not for people to live at all!

He regretted it very much now, why did he get involved in Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang's affairs, how could he have the qualifications!
Gao Lan finally figured it out, his affairs were exposed, and Yuan Xi killed himself, so what?
Can Yuan Shao kill Yuan Xi to avenge himself?joke!
Yuan Shang is even more impossible, he is just using himself!

I really got sick of eating lard!

He stretched out his hand and drank the bitter and pungent concoction, his empty stomach churned.

He lay back on the pile of straw in the corner, staring blankly at the cellar above his head.

So don't go, it's better to die on the battlefield.

After an unknown amount of time, the cellar door above was opened, and a tall man slowly climbed down the ladder.

When Gao Lan saw it, he sat up and said bitterly, "It's you!"

Qu Yi wiped the rain off his face, sat down on the stool next to him, and said, "Gao Lan, your life is pretty tough."

Gao Lanhan said, "Why didn't you kill me?"

Qu Yi shook his head, "I don't know either."

"I actually persuaded the young master to kill you, but the young master did not agree."

"He said that it's a pity that you, such a capable and loyal person, died so unknown."

Gao Lan snorted.

Seeing this, Qu Yi sneered and said, "You have a big temper, and I have a bigger temper. If you put on a bad face for me again, I'll just leave and let you rot here."

Gao Lan choked suddenly.

After a while, Gao Lan said, "I don't understand."

"I also thought you were killed by the lord a long time ago."

"Why did Second Master Yuan save you? He is not afraid of offending the lord?"

Qu Yi snorted coldly: "The reason is similar to yours."

"My son said that people like me would die on the battlefield, not an assassination."

Gao Lan was a little annoyed: "You didn't treat me like this?"

Qu Yi sneered and said, "So Young Master saves your life."

"Don't use your tongue. When I get angry, I can kill you on the spot. At worst, go back and tell me that you are stubborn."

Gao Lan was speechless.

Qu Yi was proud of himself, after following the son for a few years, he also learned to scare people. Gao Lan is also a martial artist like himself, with a simple mind, he can scare people instantly.

Gao Lan said in a muffled voice: "You keep me alive, which shows that I still have value."

"Besides, Mr. Yuan Xi may be fine, but if your identity is exposed, it may not be so."

Qu Yi slapped his thigh angrily: "Damn it, Gao Lan, you kid is pretty smart, but I've died once, so what's there to be afraid of?"

"I won't go around with you anymore. The young master asked me to come here to give you a chance."

Gao Lan looked up, "What chance?"

Seeing that Gao Lan was moved, Qu Yi said, "Young Master said, if you can swear to keep your mouth shut, you might not be able to let you go back."

"He will find a reason that the Yuan family can accept. You will still be your four pillars and reunite with your wife."

When Gao Lan heard this, he hesitated, and said, "I'm afraid you want me to betray the third son and join the second son?"

"What's the difference?"

"The second son is not as powerful as the third son, can he protect me?"

Qu Yi sneered, "He can even protect me, let alone you?"

Gao Lan was silent.

Qu Yi sneered, "Don't be in a hurry, you really want to seek refuge, but the Second Young Master doesn't necessarily want it."

"I'm here to ask a few questions for the young master."

"You are obviously married to Zhen Rong, and you should know that the second son is going to marry Zhen Mi. Why do you help the third son to fight against the second son?"

Gao Lan lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "Because the third son Yuan doesn't want the second son to marry Zhen Mi."

Qu Yi was puzzled, "Why?"

Gao Lan hesitated for a moment, and said, "I know something inside."

"When I followed the third son, I heard him talk about this matter with several advisors."

"It's a prophecy about the second son."

He talked about the matter of Yuan Shang finding some counselors to calculate Yuan Xi's name, and finally talked about the meeting of Zhen Mi, "So the third son should be very taboo to the second son."

After hearing this, Qu Yi laughed dumbly and said, "Only the gentry believe this thing, we are all generals, do you still believe this?"

Gao Lan was surprised and said: "Dezhou, prophecy is the principle of heaven and earth. Didn't you believe in this a few years ago?"

Qu Yi spit out a mouthful: "I believe in a bird, it's really useful, how can I almost die?"

"If this kind of thing is true, shouldn't you take refuge in the Second Young Master?"

Gao Lan said: "Because the third son believes."

"I don't know if the prophecy is true, but I only know that the third son has already controlled most of the power of the Yuan family. If I don't rely on him, I will never live to the day when the prophecy comes true."

Qu Yi listened, nodded and said, "Don't you feel aggrieved?"

"Our military generals can only be used at will because we don't have the backing of the gentry, and we kick away when we run out."

"Yuan Shao is like this, isn't Yuan Shang treating you the same?"

"Do you think it will end well if you expose the Second Young Master?"

"Look at what happened to me, stop dreaming!"

Gao Lan was a little unconvinced: "Is it different if I take refuge in the second son?"

"How do you know that he saved you, not using you?"

Qu Yi said coldly: "If that's the case, it's safest for him to kill you, why take the risk?"

Gao Lan was silent for a while, then raised his head: "What does Second Young Master want me to do?"

Qu Yi smiled slightly: "It's very simple, the second son wants to make a bet with you, and swear in the name of his family."

"He is not afraid that you will break your promise and turn your back on the water. I may die at that time, but you will definitely not survive."

"If you can complete the bet, as long as you swear an oath not to reveal anything about me, he will let you go back and reunite with your family."

"If you can't complete the bet, you can only use it for the second son."

Gao Lan's eyes flashed: "Really?"

"What bet?"

Seeing that Gao Lan took the bait, Qu Yi said, "Defeat or capture a general for him."

Gao Lan's first reaction was to shake his head: "If I were to face people like Lu Bu, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, how would I have a chance of winning?"

"Don't do it!"

After hearing this, Qu Yi said, "Don't worry, you won't be allowed to choose any famous generals in these four prefectures."

"Young master said that he will choose the unknown generation."

Gao Lan was very moved when he heard this, and immediately said: "Since that's the case, I will go to battle with all my strength, and I have never been afraid of anyone!"

"Bet!"

After hearing this, Qu Yi said, "Okay, change your appearance now, and go to Taishan County with me."
