Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 26 The dark tide is surging
Due to the delay, when Yuan Xi led his people back to Yecheng, they saw that the huge city gate had been closed, and the group of people hurriedly reined in their horses and stopped in front of the city gate.

"Open the door, the second son will return to the city!" Hu Niu'er immediately shouted towards the city wall.

"Second son!" A military marquis standing on the city wall immediately held up a torch and looked down. When he saw Yuan Xi's face clearly and the soldier covered in blood behind him, he hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up!" City gate, inform the captain that something happened to the second young master."

"Yes!"

I saw that the heavy city gate was slowly opened again, and when Yuan Xi rode in, a captain dressed in armor and with a sword hanging from his waist rushed up to Yuan Xi, with a respectful expression on his face. : "Dongmen School Lieutenant Shen Rong, pay homage to Second Young Master"

Yuan Xi immediately pulled back the horse, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and said, "You are the younger brother who is under trial."

He is not only one of Yuan Shao's confidant advisers, but also the ruler in charge of the military. His status and rights in the general's mansion are only inferior to those of Ju Shou and Tian Feng, and he is deeply valued by Yuan Shao.

"Exactly, Second Young Master, what's wrong with you?" Shen Rong looked at the guard with blood on his armor and asked with concern.

Yuan Xi's eyes were fixed, and he smiled slightly: "It's nothing, just met a group of bandits."

A trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of "Bandit" Shen Rong. This is near Yecheng, where the Sizhou headquarters is located. How could there be bandits.

"Lieutenant Auditor, I still have something to do, so I'll go back to the mansion first." After Yuan Xi said, he immediately drove his horse into the city and didn't stay any longer. It was because he had already seen clearly that the other party's loyalty to him was only 3, and it was obvious that he had already surrendered to one of Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan.

After Shen Rong sent him off, his eyes flashed, and he immediately ordered: "Quickly inform the third son, just say that the second son was attacked by bandits when he returned to the city, and tell Ju goodbye."

"Yes, captain." The two soldiers left in a hurry.

Shen Rong stayed where he was, frowned, and muttered, "What's going on here??"

When Yuan Xi arrived at the gate of the mansion with a group of people, Liu Quan, the housekeeper who had been waiting all this time, was shocked, and hurried to Yuan Xi, and said anxiously, "Master, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Is Mi'er okay?" Yuan Xi asked concerned.

"Okay, very good, Ma'am is waiting for the young master," Liu Quan quickly replied.

"Let's go in and close the gate of the mansion." Yuan Xi waved his hand and walked towards the mansion.

When Yuan Xi arrived at the mansion safely, the whole city of Ye gradually began to have a dark tide.

Only one street away from the General’s Mansion, an unusually luxurious mansion appeared in front of my eyes. In the living room of the mansion, the lights were brightly lit, and the house was full of guests, making it very lively. Yuan Shang, who was dressed in fine clothes and looked drunk, was sitting in the main seat. Above, on the left and right, there is a delicate and revealingly dressed woman who is serving him, holding a three-legged wine glass in her hand, her face flushed and saying: "Come, I'm drinking a glass."

"My lord, please." Everyone rushed to meet him.

After drinking a cup, sitting at the first place on the right, a scribe with gentle face, fair skin, although extraordinary temperament, but with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, said with a soft smile: "My lord has already ruled the four continents, as long as you cultivate for a few years , then you can send your troops to the south, wipe out the heroes everywhere, rule the world, ascend the throne as the emperor, and then the son will be the prince."

This person is Yuan Xi's important counselor, Feng Ji's younger brother who is in charge of the military with Shen Pei, Feng Ling, who is currently serving as the director of meritorious service in the General's Mansion, and has already surrendered to Yuan Shang.

"Haha, Yuan Ming must never say that. Although I am the eldest son, I am the youngest one after all. I will not be able to take that position no matter what." Hearing this, Yuan Shang tried his best to be modest, but his eyes flickered. His deep ambition and desire are so easy to see.

"Young master, why should you be modest? My brother just sent me a letter a few days ago, saying that my lord has praised you many times during the march. Although Mr. Yuan Tan is the eldest son, he is brave and unreasonable, and his results are unprovoked. He is definitely not the capital of an emperor. Not to mention Mr. Yuan Xi, although he is benevolent and kind-hearted, he is too mediocre and ineffective. Only a young master who knows people well and has both civil and military skills will be the only heir to the great cause in the future, and he will surely create an unprecedented prosperous age."

"That's right, except for the young master, if anyone else takes the position, I won't accept it." Sitting first on the left, dressed in a black brocade suit, with a burly figure and a scar on his left eye, Guo Yuan, the captain of the Huxiao Camp, said loudly, exuding radiance all over his body. There was a fierce look.

"Yes, support the son"

"I wait for the only son to follow the lead
"Haha!" Seeing this scene, Yuan Shang couldn't help laughing loudly, holding a wine glass and said: "Everything depends on the help of the princes, come, come"

"My lord, please!" After everyone drank another cup, an old man who looked like a butler suddenly ran over in a hurry and whispered something in Yuan Shang's ear.

Seeing Yuan Shang's pupils shrank, he said in surprise, "Are you sure?"

"The city gate opened by the inspector himself," the housekeeper quickly replied.

Yuan Shang's face froze, and his whole body became sober in an instant. Shen Rong was his man, so naturally he would not lie.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Feng Ling immediately saw something unusual.

Yuan Shang stood up slowly, forced a smile and said: "Yuan Ming, Guo Yuan, you follow me, everyone continue to eat and drink."

"No!" Feng Ling and Guo Yuan hurriedly followed, and the faces of the others suddenly showed puzzled expressions.

. . . . .

On the other side, in Yuan Tan's mansion, in a study room, there were also bursts of discussions.

"Second brother, what's the matter?" Yuan Tan's voice suddenly sounded, tinged with concern.

"Second Young Master is fine, he was a little frightened, and has returned to the mansion now."

"Really? Then prepare some presents immediately. I will go to see the second brother tomorrow morning, and I will be surprised for him. Father is coming back soon. There must be nothing wrong with the second brother," Yuan Tan ordered immediately.

"Yes, son"

. . . . . .

Except for these two places, in the Biejia Mansion in Jizhou, Ju Shou lightly waved away the soldiers who notified him, with a hint of helplessness and worry on his face.
"Father, what's going on here?" In front of Jushou, there was a man in his twenties, who was somewhat similar to Jushou's, but his expression was a little less wise and decisive, and a little more honest. The dutiful young man asked suspiciously.

"They were too anxious, thinking that the prince would be chosen as soon as the lord came back, so they were forcing people to take their positions." Jushou's eyesight was not taken lightly, after a few questions, he already knew the general idea.

"Then who intercepted and killed the Second Young Master?"

"It doesn't matter who it is, Hu'er, they won't hurt the second son. What's important is that the world has not yet been unified, and there are heroes everywhere, and the eyes of my four continents are no longer on the world. If it goes down, it will cause a huge disaster." Ju Shou slapped the desk heavily, with a trace of anger flashing across his face

"Father, don't be angry, pay attention to your body," Juhu hurriedly said with concern.

A cold light flashed in Jushou's eyes, and he stood up slowly, with a firm look on his face: "Father, you can't pretend to be invisible anymore. If you really follow the lord's idea and send all the sons out, if the lord loses something, It will inevitably lead to a civil war, completely destroying my foundation in the north, and inheriting the great cause of the Lord, and I can only fight for my father."

"Father!" Hearing this, Juhu was shocked, and a look of worry appeared on his face.

　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for everything
