The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 29 Don't Break the Brotherhood
Undead Summoning Level [-] has a fatal drawback.

It can summon undead across eras, and even drive undead to obtain some items from other eras.

It's just that there are strict restrictions on the quantity and quality of items obtained.

For example, Yuan Xu can only get three or five buckets of instant noodles each time.

Summoning undead takes a lot of energy.

It is impossible for him to spend all his energy on a few buckets of instant noodles.

Due to the small quantity obtained, apart from Tian Feng, only Zhen Mi and Feng Ji had the opportunity to taste instant noodles.

Returning to Yecheng, the road to go is not very far.

Just like when he went to Zhongshan, Yuan Xu dawdled all the way and walked for a long time before reaching Yecheng.

After entering the city, the first thing he should do is of course to greet Yuan Shao.

Many days have passed since the Battle of Guandu, and Yuan Shao's body is gradually recovering.

Sitting in the front hall, he smiled and asked Yuan Xu, "Did you pick it up?"

"Thanks to my father, I brought it back." Yuan Xu replied, "I just encountered some minor troubles in Zhongshan and on the way back."

"I heard." Yuan Shao frowned: "It's fine for Cao Mengde to fight against me, but he even has to fight against you."

"He used a lot of open and dark arrows this time." Yuan Xu said with contempt: "He even tried to provoke me and my second brother."

"To provoke your brothers?" Yuan Shao's face was much uglier than before: "What's going on?"

"Cao Pi went to Zhongshan, and my second brother led people to help me, but Cao Cao let Mao Jie hang out with him. Fortunately, I dealt with Cao Pi first, and my second brother returned to Yecheng that night, so they didn't have a chance to attack."

In addition to Yuan Shao, some staff and generals of the Yuan family were also present.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling that things would develop in a direction unfavorable to Yuan Xi.

Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang were also in the hall.

Yuan Xi's face was pale.

He had a bad feeling.

If Yuan Xu accuses him harshly and bears the charge of murdering his own brother, even if he does not die, he will be stripped of his skin.

"How did you know that Mao Jie was with him?" Yuan Shao asked Yuan Xu with a cold face after glancing at Yuan Xi.

"My guards captured him." Yuan Xu replied, "It's just that no matter how interrogated, he didn't say a word."

"Where did you catch it?" Yuan Shao asked again.

Glancing at Yuan Xi, Yuan Xu's face showed embarrassment.

"Why?" Yuan Shao frowned: "Is there anything else that is hard to say?"

Yuan Xu hesitated for a moment before replying, "It's in the second brother's room."

"What's going on?" Yuan Shao glared at Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi quickly stood up, lowered his head and dared not speak.

Staring at Yuan Xi, Yuan Shao urged, "Why don't you speak?"

"Father, I have something to say." Yuan Xu interjected, "I think Mao Jie was captured in the second brother's room on purpose."

He excused Yuan Xi, which was beyond Yuan Shao's expectation.

"Tell me." Yuan Shao signaled him to continue.

"Don't father think it's strange?" Yuan Xu asked: "We didn't find him when the second brother was there. When the second brother left, he was still in the room. I always feel that he was captured deliberately."

"Mao Jie is someone Cao Cao valued, what good is it good to be captured by you?" Yuan Shao shook his head: "It's better to investigate this matter thoroughly, it's more reassuring."

His eyes fell on Yuan Tan's face: "Leave it to you, how long will it take to find out the truth?"

The Yuan family brothers fought among themselves, with Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang being the most violent.

Although he and Yuan Tan were brothers from the same mother, Yuan Xi never stood by his side.

Therefore, Yuan Tan has long held a grudge against him.

Hand over Mao Jie to Yuan Tan, and even if nothing happens, something can be found out.

Not to mention that Yuan Xi did collude with him.

Yuan Xi knew something bad was going to happen, but he didn't dare to speak out against it.

Just when Yuan Tan got up and was about to take the order, Yuan Xu said, "Father, please take back the order!"

Yuan Shao was surprised: "Don't you want to find out what happened?"

"Of course I do." Yuan Xu replied, "It's just that I think Mao Jie should be handed over to the second brother for interrogation."

Everyone present was surprised.

Mao Jie was Cao Cao's most important adviser.

Although his appearance is not outstanding, it is not easy for him to get around Yuan Xi without anyone noticing.

Everyone thought that Yuan Xu would beat the dog in the water, but he actually suggested that Mao Jie be handed over to Yuan Xi.

"Is it inappropriate to involve him in the matter and let him interrogate?" Yuan Shao asked, "Aren't you afraid of covering up the truth?"

"I believe that the second brother did not collude with him." Yuan Xu replied: "The second brother rushed to Zhongshan, accompanied by one or two thousand soldiers. He wants to kill me, so he needs to borrow Cao Cao's hand?"

Only a few people knew of Yuan Xu's ability, and the excuse he made for Yuan Xi's exoneration won the approval of many people present.

The judge was the first to stand up: "I think what the fourth son said is reasonable. If I hand it over to the eldest son, I am afraid that the bond between brothers will be broken."

Yuan Shao had no expression on his face, but he was puzzled in his heart.

As far as Yuan Xu's ability is concerned, he has witnessed it with his own eyes.

Not to mention one or two thousand soldiers, even if there are 2 or [-] soldiers in Zhongshan, I'm afraid they won't be able to do anything to him.

He asked Yuan Xi: "What do you think?"

Being on the cusp of brothers fighting for power and profit all the year round, Yuan Xi is not stupid.

He knew very well that if he climbed up the pole that Yuan Xu gave him, he would actually offend Yuan Shao.

"My son has absolutely no intention of murdering my brother." Yuan Xi replied, "If father doesn't believe it, just ask elder brother to question Mao Jie."

The one who didn't believe Yuan Xi the most was Yuan Tan.

Having sent someone to investigate Yuan Xu, and knowing his abilities, Yuan Tan didn't believe that 2000 people could get rid of him at all.

He thought that Yuan Xu excused Yuan Xi because he didn't want to cause trouble.

If he wanted to win him over, the villain could only do it himself.

After making up his mind, Yuan Tan stood up: "Since the second brother can be trusted, I would like to interrogate Mao Jie."

Several sons are vying for power and profit, how could Yuan Shao not know about it?
He also knew what Yuan Tan had in mind to invite Ying.

Without replying directly, he looked at Yuan Shang: "What do you think?"

Yuan Shang was also muttering in his heart.

Now that Mao Jie was pushed out, why didn't Yuan Xu take advantage of the victory to pursue him, instead he proposed to hand him over to Yuan Xi...

Confused, Yuan Shang wanted to understand one thing.

That means Yuan Xu didn't want to make a big deal at all!

When the matter developed to this point, he was also happy to give Yuan Xi a favor.

"I agree with the fourth brother's opinion." Yuan Shang got up: "The second brother has no reason to harm him at all. It is inevitable that Mao Jie will not be found out after being handed over to the elder brother. But the love between brothers may be alienated because of it." gone."

He turned and faced Yuan Xu: "The fourth brother can judge calmly and expose Mao Jie's tricks, I admire it!"

"What do you think?" Yuan Shao asked the crowd again.

Everyone here, who is not good at reading people's faces?

After guessing Yuan Shao's thoughts, everyone agreed and agreed to hand over Mao Jie to Yuan Xi.

"You all step back." With a decision, Yuan Shao waved his hand: "Xu'er stay, I have something to tell you."
