Chapter 93 Returning to Ye City
Yuan Xi didn't know that he missed Zhuge Liang, after all he didn't really know the art of stargazing.

He was directing the crowd to dig a pit outside the city to bury the people and soldiers who had just died.

As for the people who were killed by the massacre before, although it has been nearly ten months, they are already rotten and smelly, and they can't be taken care of.

Hundreds of corpses were moved into the big pit and filled with soil. Yuan Xi got off his horse and took the lead in paying homage. When Zhang He and his soldiers saw it, they also came over one after another.

Zhang He was in a complicated mood. When soldiers died on the battlefield, there was often no place to bury them. No one would care. After all, everyone had already made such preparations before going to the battlefield.

But Yuan Xi was different from others.

With the sound of footsteps, Zhang He saw that the people of Xuzhou also came over one after another, knelt down in front of the graves of the soldiers to pay respects, and felt thoughtful.

After Yuan Xi finished worshiping, he stood up and said, "Brother Junyi, let's go."

He turned his head to look at the lifeless Fei County. The dilapidated city walls towered over him, like a huge graveyard, where countless corpses were buried.

A group of people got on their horses, took hundreds of carts, followed by nearly a thousand people, and headed west all the way.

By the time Yuan Xi brought people back to Yecheng, it was already half a month later.

He and Zhang He parted in Yecheng, Yuan Xi respectfully said: "This trip is thanks to brother Junyi's help, many soldiers under brother's command have been killed or injured, I have prepared two goods for compensation."

Zhang Yun couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it, thanked him and left.

Yecheng had heard the news that Yuan Xi had returned with the Xuzhou people, so some officials came out to make arrangements. Seeing that the arrangement was reasonable, Yuan Xi bid farewell to the people and prepared to enter the city.

But all the people in Xuzhou knelt down and kowtowed their thanks.

These people's hometowns were massacred by Cao Jun and they were forced to flee, but the soldiers sent by Xuzhou also wanted to kill them. They were desperate at the time, but they never thought that it was Yuan Jun, who was allied with Cao Jun, who saved them and saved their lives.

Yuan Xi had no choice but to get off his horse and stepped forward to persuade the people to get up.

On the top of the city, Yuan Shang pinched a wall brick so hard that his fingertips turned white.

This second elder brother is so treacherous, he even bribed the common people to create momentum!

Father Yuan Shaosu likes to rule the people benevolently, and the second brother's move will surely spread throughout Yecheng within a few days, and will definitely please his father!
Why do you feel that the second brother is more difficult to deal with than the eldest brother!
Thinking of Yuan Xi's prophecy, Yuan Xi felt more and more uncomfortable, saying that he was a concubine, but if something happened to him and his elder brother, wouldn't the second elder brother be the next patriarch?

Do you want to use the trump card that you plan to use on the eldest brother on the second brother in advance?
But it feels a bit too wasteful!

As soon as Yuan Xi turned his head, he saw Yuan Shang and cupped his hands away.

Seeing Yuan Shang, he quickly walked down the tower and walked up to Yuan Xi with an excited expression on his face: "Second brother has made a big name out of this trip!"

"Kill Zhang Kai, retreat Liu Bei, and rescue Cao Gong's family. The bravery of the second brother has spread throughout Yecheng!"

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Thank you for your trouble, third brother. This time, we brothers should really have a good drink."

Yuan Shang's heart skipped a beat, and he said haha: "Then I'm going to find some bad wine, so as not to punish my second brother."

The two looked at each other and laughed tacitly.

People are very strange. Even if they want to kill each other in their hearts, they can't show it on the surface.

What's more, the relationship between the two is far from being deadly. Even if Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang dare to do this, Yuan Shao will never allow it.

It was precisely because the shackles on his body were too troublesome that Yuan Xi wanted to adopt him as soon as possible.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages in everything, Yuan Xi was adopted, although he would lose restraint, but he would also lose most of Yuan Shao's protection.

At that time, if Yuan Xi wanted to have enough strength to protect himself, it would depend on how many corners of the Yuan family he could poach before.

The two brothers returned to Yuan Mansion with their own plans, and Yuan Xi went to see Yuan Shao without taking off his armor.

Yuan Shao opened his eyes, looked at Yuan Xi, and found that the armor on his body was covered with dust and dried blood, and said, "You did a good job this time."

Xin commented on Tian Feng and other counselors, and all praised: "The second son's emergence is really a blessing for the Yuan family."

Xin Ping said with a smile: "Zhang Kai is fine, but Liu Bei is capable of fighting. The young master is able to force him back, obviously he has the talent of a general."

Pang Ji Shenpei and others had no choice but to chime in. They all fought with Yuan Shao in the Pingyuan Kingdom and knew that Liu Bei was very difficult to deal with.

Yuan Xiqian said: "I'm ashamed, it's all due to Captain Junyi fighting to the death, the soldiers work hard."

Yuan Shang secretly gritted his teeth. He had heard the news earlier that there was also Yuan Xi's private cavalry who participated in the battle, and the people inside were all elite soldiers and strong generals.

Yuan Shang knew that the cost of raising a full armored cavalry was an astonishing amount. He never thought that his second brother would be able to secretly save so many cavalry with so little food and grass!

Hidden so deep!
Xin Ping praised again: "What's even more powerful is that the young master first saved Duke Cao's family and then protected thousands of people during the battle. At this time, it has been spread in Yecheng, saying that the young master has a heart of benevolence and righteousness. "

Even Yuan Shao nodded slightly. Yuan Xi's move has established a reputation among the gentry and the common people, which is an excellent help to the Yuan family's reputation for benevolence and righteousness.

While dealing with the crowd, Yuan Xi always felt that everyone's expression was a bit subtle, and he asked in public if there was something wrong, until Yuan Shao told him to step back and rest, then he got up to say goodbye, and went to the back house to find Yuan Xing.

Yuan Xing was talking to Wu Zhao, when she saw Yuan Xi, the first thing she said was, "The Zhen family is in some trouble."

After talking for a few words, Yuan Xi knew the cause and effect.

Yuan Shang reported to Yuan Shao, saying that Zhen Rong took advantage of the banquet and tried to poison Yuan Xi to murder Yuan Xi, which has been pending for a long time.

For the time being, Yuan Shao just sent soldiers to seal off Zhen's house and ground Zhen Rong.

Yuan Xi heard this, and sighed: "The third brother is really cannibalistic."

A Zhen family was used to the extreme by Yuan Shang. First he used Gao Lan to throw stones to ask for directions, and then he used the news of Gao Lan's disappearance to confuse Zhen Rong. When Zhen Rong failed, he turned around and beat him up.

Yuan Shang has dealt with failures in every link. It can be said that no matter what accident happens, he can lead the result to a favorable ending for him.

Yuan Xing said: "It seems that the third brother is determined to ruin your marriage. Zhen Rong and I have always been friends, and she was also confused for a while. Can you think of a way?"

Yuan Xi nodded and said: "There is no rush for this matter, I will go back and think about it."

Now that he has subdued Gao Lan privately, Zhen Rong wants to save him no matter what. Yuan Shang obviously covets the Zhen family, and he must not let him do so.

Yuan Xing saw Yuan Xi's exhausted look on his face, knowing that he was exhausted from this trip, she hurriedly said: "The battlefield is dangerous, as long as you come back safely, go and rest first."

Yuan Xi bid farewell to Yuan Xing, and brought Wu Zhao back to the house. Wu Zhao helped Yuan Xi remove his armor, and said, "I have asked the maid to boil the water in advance, my lord, go and wash."

Yuan Xi held her hand and said with a smile, "You're still called Young Master?"

Wu Zhao blushed, and said softly, "What's the name?"

Yuan Xi also had some headaches. It is impossible for Cai Yong's daughter to be a concubine, not to mention she has the status of a widow of the Wei family. Wu Zhao also understands this, so she doesn't want to restore her status.

He thought to himself that many things could not be rushed, and they would not be resolved in a short while.

Wu Zhao pulled her hands twice, but Yuan Xi didn't let go, so she could only blushed and said, "Go take a bath first."
