Lord Yuan

Chapter 169 Touched Zhang

Although Yuan Shao was in a very bad mood at this time, he still decided to meet Mrs. Zhang, who was almost humiliated and killed, so that he could comfort her and avoid doing anything extraordinary.

Xun Chen was a little confused. Mrs. Zhang was sad at this time. He hadn't seen her leave the house in the past few days. Maybe it was because she didn't want to see people. Xun Chen didn't think much and answered that she was in the house.

Yuan Shao nodded, glanced at the documents on the table and said, "Keep checking and report anything you find. I want to see what kind of monster dares to interfere here."

Xun Chen responded: "It all depends on Yuan Jun's decision."

After doing this, Yuan Shao asked Huang Zhong, Wen Chou and others to stay here and not follow him for the time being.

I went to see Mrs. Zhang and get some information from her.

He knocked on the door, but saw no response. He knocked hard several times, but still no response.

Knowing that something serious was going on, he immediately summoned Huang Zhong, and with a powerful blow from Huang Zhong, he kicked the roommates away.

Yuan Shao's expression changed drastically when he saw the scene in the room. Mrs. Zhang was lying on the bed, but there was no sign of movement. Yuan Shao immediately stepped forward to check the situation.

Fortunately, it was probably because he was so anxious and frightened that he fainted.

Yuan Shao sent Huang Zhong to get some water and treat him specially during special times.

After being poured directly on her face by a basin of water, the former Chang Shi's wife came to in a daze. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw several men standing in the house. She hurriedly huddled up and trembled. The clothes were tightly held tightly, maybe because the clothes were wet or because of fear.

Yuan Shao looked at the scene in front of him and thought that he would let Huang Zhong go out first and close the door at the same time.

Although Mrs. Zhang is already 30 years old, her face does not seem to have left many traces of time. On the contrary, it is because she lost her husband and is exhausted mentally and physically, which makes her even more pitiable.

At this time, another basin of cold water was sprinkled directly on the body, and the clothes were already tightly attached to the skin. It was early spring, and the temperature was extremely extreme. I saw Mrs. Zhang shivering in the corner, The whole person buried his head in his chest.

Yuan Shao couldn't stand it any longer, so he took off his own underwear, stepped forward and covered the other party's body.

Perhaps it was because of Yuan Shao's actions that she felt a little warm. Mrs. Zhang slowly raised her head, with a pair of emotionless eyes. Her face also looked haggard due to the repeated blows, and she was full of energy. remove.

Mrs. Zhang seemed to have just escaped from the ice cellar. Her lips, which were so miserable that they turned white, were slightly opened, and she timidly whispered: "I have met Yuan Changshi." As if she thought of something sad, she was about to shed tears again, thinking Reach out and wipe away the tears.

Yuan Shao couldn't bear to see the woman cry, and since she was in this state, he wanted to do something, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it, and withdrew his hands that were going to help her take care of her wet clothes.

"Don't be anxious. You can tell me anything you have to say. I will definitely give you the most solid support." Yuan Shao must express enough determination to make Mrs. Zhang, who is obviously sad and transitioning, believe in him more and be able to Give him something he wants.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang slowly stopped twitching her body, raised her head and wiped away her tears, calming down a little.

All her eyes were focused on the handsome man in front of her. Her face changed slightly. She took a deep breath and told Yuan Shao in frustration about some of the things that had happened in the past few days. When she told Yuan Shao that he was almost humiliated, she turned her head. He took a few breaths to the side before continuing.

When he told the sign of one of them, Yuan Shao vaguely remembered that Zhao Jian seemed to have the same sign.

She continued to preach and listened to the opinions of those people. This was to make the new chief historian, Yuan Shao, stop meddling in other people's business. This was Liaodong, and it was not for him, a young man, to act recklessly.

It is said that these things are all to make Yuan Shao keep his tail between his legs and not be so arrogant. So what if you are a long history? What if you are famous throughout Liaodong? You are not going to be suppressed by many of their aristocratic families. What do you want to do? When political achievements come, in the end one has to take the initiative to lower one's stature.

Yuan Shao's expression did not change, no matter how unbearable Mrs. Zhang's words were, he just smiled lightly, but he had already begun to think about the connection between these things.

This was like a prepared attack for him. Thinking about those people, if it weren't for Xun Chen's rescue, it would be difficult for Mrs. Zhang to survive alone, so she said some words that should not be revealed.

And this is what Yuan Shao wants to know. When he came to this Liaodong country, he only came into contact with a few people. He calculated that it was those people who did it, but now, he must make the final decision. , to give them no room for maneuver and to eradicate them directly.

Before doing this, Yuan Shao also wanted to learn from her whether Chang Shi had come into contact with certain people or forces in the past.

When asked about this, Mrs. Zhang showed a trace of doubt on her face and closed her eyes from time to time to think.

"Yes, some people came to see my husband. I was in the house at the time. It seemed that they were discussing something about horses, but I am just a woman. There is no way to know these things. I Shenhujun refused with words, and those people finally left angrily. Shenfujun once said that there is a nest of snakes and rats, and the captain didn't care about anything, so he just let the Zhao family and other local families do whatever they want."

The suspicion in Yuan Shao's heart became stronger, but at the moment it was just a vague statement, which still could not provide crucial evidence.

"Also, my husband had a very bad temper for a while. I tried to ask, and my husband said that the reason why those foreign races were able to go south to rob the Han people was actually because someone was giving them information and telling them where the defenses were weakest. , where the Han people are not under control.”

"It's just that before my husband could investigate these matters thoroughly, he was pushed to the front line and died tragically in this way."

When Mrs. Zhang mentioned her sadness, another feeling of sadness came to her heart, and tears began to roll in her eyes.

When Yuan Shao saw this, he immediately stepped forward and supported him in his arms to prevent him from being sad again and fainting. As a gentleman, of course he did not have those strange behaviors. He was not like Cao, who only loved his wife.

Regarding these evidences, Yuan Shao can only classify them as oral confessions, but he cannot yet implement them in some aspects. "Chang Shi's death will not be in vain!" Yuan Shao lowered his head and consoled him.

Mrs. Zhang felt the man's breath in her arms, her heart palpitated, and she did not dare to move at all.

But when she thought of her husband who died tragically, and now his grave was dug up, with no bones left, she felt a sudden burst of fire in her heart. Her body began to tremble and tremble, and then she lost consciousness and fainted.

Yuan Shao looked at Zhang lying in his arms with a wry smile, and then called Huang Zhong in and asked him to buy some food and bring back some medicine to replenish qi and blood.

Huang Zhong, Wen and Chou, who had been guarding the door from outside, saw the woman in Yuan Shao's arms as soon as they entered. The woman fainted again and felt a little strange. After receiving the instructions, Huang Zhong and Wen Chou walked out of the room without saying anything, and then quietly The door was closed.

Huang Zhong, who was walking on the road, said excitedly: "Yuan Jun's preferences seem to be a little different from ordinary people."

Wen Chou said angrily: "Brother, you are wrong. Yuan Jun has always been a gentleman and would never do such a thing to take advantage of others. The woman recently lost her husband, and now she has suffered such a blow. Yuan Jun also thought about it. I need to comfort her."

Huang Zhong smiled and shook his head: "I hope I'm overthinking."

The two of them worked hard and rushed back in a short while.

However, he just happened to see Yuan Shao bending down and carefully closing the door. Seeing Huang Zhong and others coming back, Yuan Shao thought for a moment.

"Go and summon Zhang Cheng."

After a while, Zhang Cheng changed his clothes and came over.

"I've met Yuan Changshi." Zhang Cheng said with cupped hands.

Yuan Shao handed everything in his hand to him, explained it to him, and then left.

Zhang Cheng knocked on the door and shouted respectfully in a low voice: "Sister-in-law."

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound inside. After a while, Mrs. Zhang gently opened the door.

"This is what Yuan Changshi left behind. He said it was for you to replenish your health and prevent you from being too sad. As for other matters, he will take care of it." Zhang Chengyuan told the story verbatim, then lowered his head after speaking. No more words.

Mrs. Zhang raised her head and glanced at Yuan Shao, who had disappeared. She sighed in her heart and gathered her mood.

After dealing with this side and getting the news he wanted, Yuan Shao immediately took Huang Zhong Wenchou with him to the border fortress in the north of Changli County. There were continuous city walls as a barrier to resist foreign invasion, and fortresses were demolished one after another. Rising from the ground, looking from a distance, it looks like a yellow skyline stretching from east to west.

Huang Zhong was also shocked by the scene in front of him. He had never thought that the scene of the frontier fortress was so majestic and magnificent, and he was fascinated for a moment.

Wen Chou was used to this kind of environment, so he patted Huang Zhong on the back at an inappropriate time and reminded him: "Don't embarrass Yuan Jun."

Huang Zhong, who came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly and said: "No, no, where is Yan Liang? If nothing happens, I just want to be an ordinary soldier under his command."

Hearing this, Wen Chou suddenly laughed and said: "Han Sheng can shoot three or four stone bows, how can he choose to be inferior to others? What if he takes away Yan Liang's position?"

Huang Zhong exclaimed: "How can this be so? General Yan Liang captured the enemy's commander in the midst of thousands of troops. How can such strength be matched by mine? Shu Yu, don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not lying. When you get there, you will understand. If you don't have much reputation now and can only start from a small soldier, I am afraid that Mr. Ji will stand up and give up his seat to you." Wen Chou explained with a smile.

Huang Zhong just thought Wen Chou was talking nonsense, did not answer, and followed Yuan Shao closely.

Arriving at the military camp.

It was noon, but the camp was extremely quiet, and Yuan Shao and others looked puzzled.

If he hadn't seen sentries on the city wall carefully observing what was going on in front of him, he would have thought that the place had been breached by the Xianbei people.

Deathly silence.

Yuan Shao walked up to the city wall.

The sentry heard the noise and hurriedly alerted, turning around with spears in both hands.

But he saw it was Yuan Changshi. He put down his spear with one hand and saluted with one hand: "I have seen Changshi."

Yuan Shao waved his hand and said calmly: "Where have all the soldiers in the camp gone? Why is it so quiet? If the Xianbei people go south again, how can they resist?"

"They all went to practice with Yan Sima."
