The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 85

The guard said that the scouts had brought back the news about Yuan Shang, and the entire study was silent. Hua Yan and Kong Shun, who were smiling like bright flowers just now, immediately fell silent after hearing this.

Yuan Tan's face was frightened, his hands creaked, and his huge joints showed a frightening pallor, which seemed to reflect his current extremely lonely state of mind.

"Let the scouts come in! I want to listen to him face to face!" Yuan Tan gritted his teeth, the sullen expression on his face was completely different from the happy expression just now, they were completely two extremes.

When I was young, I saw the scout who came back from the investigation come quickly, bowed to Yuan Tan, and bowed loudly: "I have seen the eldest son!"

"Excuse me!" Yuan Tan waved his hand, and asked the scout straightforwardly: "The guard said that you found out about the third son? Could it be that you found the trace of Baima Yicong?"

The scout shook his head when he heard the words, and replied: "My lord, I didn't find any trace of Baima Yicong, but at Hengtai, west of Linzi City, I found a person coming towards my Linzi City. His armor is tattered, his hair is disheveled, and his face is covered with dirt. Although he is filthy, his subordinates can undoubtedly recognize him as the Third Young Master."

"what?!"

Yuan Tan was shocked when he heard the words, and said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense, the third son was captured by the remaining members of the White Horse Yi Cong, how could he appear in the west of Linzi City, and he was alone? Are you sure you saw the truth!"

The scout hurriedly shook his head when he heard the words, and said: "Young master, this subordinate used to accompany the army in Yecheng, and later came to Qingzhou. I really know the appearance of the third young master! What's more, such a big event is no child's play, my subordinate If you don't identify it carefully, how can you come back and report it to you, young master? There is absolutely no reason for ignorance!"

Yuan Tan's face twitched, he gritted his teeth and said, "Besides my personal guard, have you told anyone else about this matter?"

"Never!"

Yuan Tan nodded when he heard the words, he seemed to be relieved, and said: "Okay, very good! Remember, from now on, this matter must not be mentioned to others, except for you, the guards outside the door, and the three people in this study. Besides people, if there is a sixth person who knows about this matter, you must know what the consequences will be."

The scout trembled when he heard the words, and hurriedly bowed his head to Yuan Tan and said, "Don't worry, Eldest Young Master, this subordinate will definitely not reveal a word to others."

"Okay." Yuan Tan waved his hand and said, "Go down!"

"promise!"

After the scout withdrew from the study, Yuan Tan immediately took a long breath, looked back and forth at Hua Yan and Kong Shun standing on both sides, and said: "Yuan Shang appeared in Huantai alone, and now he is facing I am here from Linzi City, regarding this matter, what do you two think?"

Hua Yan rubbed his chin when he heard the words, and wondered: "With the martial arts of the third son, it is simply absurd to try to escape from the hands of hundreds of white horse righteous followers. Could it be that the rest of the white horse righteous followers released him?"

Kong Shun on the other side shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "How is it possible? In the past, Gongsun Zan and the Yuan family had a bitter feud, and the third son was arrested, but he was not hacked into pieces. It is lucky that he boiled the oil pot, how could he be easily killed?" Put it back? There must be something wrong with this matter!"

Hua Yan thought for a while, and said: "Could it be that the third son reached a consensus with those white horse thieves? After all, Gongsun Zan is dead, and it is of no use for those white horse thieves to continue to make trouble in Hebei. If the third son really persuades It's not good to have them team up with him, but if we really join forces, why don't those white horse thieves come back with the third son, it's weird, weird!"

Yuan Tan tapped the table lightly with his hands, and said with a gloomy face: "Perhaps, that kid subdued the white horse thieves and didn't want to bring the white horses to Qingzhou for me to see, or maybe he and the white horse What kind of deal did the thieves reach, maybe the white horse thieves didn't want to anger father too much, but no matter what the situation is, there is only one thing I am worried about."

"Crack!", Yuan Tan slapped the desk hard, and continued, gnashing his teeth, "That kid actually came back alive!"

Hua Yan and Kong Shun were so frightened that they hurriedly bowed their heads and said together: "Eldest Prince, calm down!"

Yuan Tan stood up and began to pace anxiously back and forth in the study room. A kind of anger that had just been ascended to heaven, but then drifted from heaven to the mortal world filled his heart, and even affected his good judgment in normal times. force.

Yuan Shang, Yuan Shang!You really are so fateful that you survived being hijacked by the white horse thieves?What are you doing back here?do what!Compete with me for the heir?Take the four states of Hebei with me?Prevent me from pacifying the world's hegemony?
"We must not let him return to Linzi City alive!" Yuan Tan's eyes widened suddenly, a kind of soaring anger and murderous intent instantly filled the whole study room, making Hua Yan and Kong Shun's hearts shudder and trembling.

Yuan Tan glanced sideways at Kong Shun, and said, "Kong Shun, let you arrange this matter, I want you to do it yourself! Only I will know about the return of the eminent man."

Having said that, Yuan Tan fiercely made a chopping gesture with his hands.

Kong Shun swallowed lightly, then cupped his hands at Yuan Tan and said, "Shun understands the meaning of the eldest son."

"Also, after the work is done, the corpse must be disposed of properly. It is best to find a way to put the blame on the rest of the White Horse Yicong. In this way, no matter whether Yuan Shang and the White Horse Thief have anything to do with each other, it will be convenient for us to slaughter them all in the future. All of them silenced."

"promise!"

Yuan Tan snorted softly, raised his head and let out a long sigh of relief, and said coldly: "Yuan Xianfu, you still want to turn around now? My son is not thinking about it!"

*******************
The night is deep and cool as water.

On the side of the rugged path from Hengtai to Linzi City, a bonfire is slowly burning "crackling".

The bonfire was hunting, and the surroundings were silent. Yuan Shang was sitting by the bonfire in rags and armor, unkempt, like a tramp, holding a branch in his hand with a hare that had just been caught with a trap stuck in it, bursting into tears. The smell of meat wafted in the air, attracting many hawks and sparrows to flap their wings and land on the nearby tree, staring closely at the barbecue in Yuan Shang's hands.

Time, just like this, bit by bit, everything seems so ordinary, let nature take its course.

However, the sudden sound of horseshoes broke the tranquility of the night. Not far away, more than a dozen strong men in black uniforms and head coverings were seen flying towards Yuan Shang's direction. , They all have weapons in their hands, their cold light is shining, and they are full of killing intent. They are not easy to be with.

Yuan Shang raised his head, looked for the sound, and then a tricky smile appeared on the corner of his mouth
It didn't take long to see the man in black dressed in more than ten clothes come to the side of the bonfire where Yuan Shang was grilling just now. The flames were still crackling, but the man and the hare sitting beside the flames disappeared at some point .

"Where are the people?" The man in black turned over from his horse, looked at the bonfire on the ground, looked around, gritted his teeth, and said, "Find it for me! I was still here just now, I can't go far! It must be Hide in the grass or bushes! Search!"

More than a dozen people got off their horses one after another, and started to search for the bushes and shrubs next to the campfire like ghosts entering the village.
I was looking for it carefully, but I heard a "pop", an unknown object fell from the sky on the head of a man in black.

The man in black frowned and wiped the top of his head lightly.

Just as he was about to continue searching, another object fell from the air with a "snap" and landed on his head.

The man in black shook his head, carefully looked at the object that hit him, and was suddenly a little dazed.

"What. Bones?"

Looking up ignorantly, he saw Yuan Shang holding the rabbit that was grilling just now, with a rabbit's front leg dangling in his mouth, flickering like he was holding a big cigar, and heying at him with a pleasant face smirk.

The man in black was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly called out to his companions: "Here! Here! He is hiding in a tree, on a tree! Whoever has a bow and arrow, put a full bow and shoot him down!"

When the dozen or so people were rushing this way, Yuan Shang smiled, waved at the man in black, and said, "Do you know why I'm hiding here?"

The man in black was taken aback when he heard the words, and subconsciously shook his head.

Yuan Shang smiled slightly, kindly like a Maitreya Buddha who rescued the suffering: "The so-called condescending, powerful! You don't even know such simple knowledge, and you are still a shit killer."

After all, a heavy rabbit leg volleyed down into the air, and hit the man in black's face with a "bang", cutting him off immediately.

It was at this moment that the rest of the men in black who were sent to assassinate Yuan Shang gathered under the tree one after another. Several men in black took bows and arrows, bent their bows and set up arrows, and raised their hands to shoot at the tree. Yuan Shang.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

But hearing the sound of four arrows, the four men in black who wanted to shoot Yuan Shang with bows and arrows were hit by the arrows one after another, and fell to the ground, with their legs flopping, obviously unable to live.

"Woo-!"

Accompanied by the sound of a horn, in the still extremely quiet mountain forest just now, suddenly the torches were lit, and a woman in a red dress led a group of archers to surround them from three sides, only to surround the men in black .

The accident happened in silence, a group of people who had been arranged for a long time, under the leadership of Lu Lingqi, quietly trapped all of them in the Wengzhong in a blink of an eye, just waiting to reach out to catch the turtle.

Yuan Shang sat on the tree, his red thin lips grinned slightly, revealing his two rows of white teeth, which looked extremely creepy under the light of the torch.

"Hehe, okay, okay, it's only been a few days since we passed Jishui? First, the Black Mountain Army, then Baima Yicong, and now it's all of you again, everyone is going to trouble me! What a water Qian Wang Ba Duo, there are big brothers everywhere! I didn’t pick you up today, but I don’t know how powerful I am, and the generals obey orders!”

"exist!"

"Let me cut them to death. No, I can't cut them to death, I have to capture them alive and cut them all!"
