Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 427 The Cousin Who Appeared Suddenly
"Yang Xiu!!" Feng Yao exclaimed in surprise, he was too familiar with this name.

"Hehe, I didn't expect him to be quite courageous. Okay, bring Yang Xiu to meet me in my tent. I want to see if he has the courage!" Feng Yao immediately ordered.

Liu Shun followed the sound and left.

"As long as Yang Xiu dares to come over and enter the range of our army, if it is according to my order, let our army enter the pass, that's all. If not, don't even think about returning from here!" Feng Yao waited and considered whether he should or not. Tied up Yang Xiu.

At this time, the military adviser Xu Shu stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "My lord, Yang Xiu is the son of Yang Biao. The Yang family is quite powerful in the Guanzhong area! Maybe this is an opportunity for us to change our relationship with Yang Biao!"

"Hmm...Yang Xiu?...Yang family...!" Feng Yao muttered inwardly, "Before, I looked down upon Yang Biao a little bit. There are really a lot of Yang's, Yang Feng, Yang Ding, Yang Biao... just don't know what kind of relationship they have with each other..., it seems that the power of spies must be distributed throughout the country in the future!... "

Feng Yao sat in the tent, secretly thinking about something related to this, and soon heard a burst of smug laughter from outside the tent.

After a while, Liu Shun led a group of scribes in.

The scribes are about 20 years old, and they seem to be a little proud. The typical scribes who have no worries about food and clothing since childhood, but also conceited and learned, Yang Xiu is also unavoidable. The world is within its grasp.

Feng Yao frowned slightly, disliked Yang Xiu's behavior, and at the same time snorted coldly in his heart, thinking to himself that if he were Cao Cao, he might not be able to bear someone like Yang Xiu!

All the generals standing behind Feng Yao looked displeased, especially Xu Chu, with an angry face, took a step forward, his hand was already on the hilt of the sword in his waist, and was about to get angry when Feng Yao saw it, he immediately stopped Xu Chu, bowed his head Shouted: "Go back!"

"Yes, my lord!" Xu Chu obeyed and retreated.

"Cousin!" Yang Xiu was not afraid at all, without Liu Shun's introduction, he recognized Feng Yao's identity at a glance, stepped forward with a smile and bowed.

"..." My cousin suddenly called Feng Yao Meng, and was stunned for a moment, thinking he had heard it wrong.

"Is my cousin angry with me?" Yang Xiu asked with a smile again.

But this time, before Feng Yao could ask a question, he had already annoyed the person behind him. Hearing a tiger roar, a sturdy figure jumped in front of Yang Xiu. , lift it up.

"My lord is General Anton, Marquis of Pingyu, and Shepherd of Yuzhou. How can you be a nameless person who can be called a brother and brother!! If you are rude, I will kill you here!!" Xu Chu shouted angrily, grabbing The thick big hand holding Yang Xiu's collar exerted a slight force, and Yang Xiu's face immediately flushed, his eyes turned white, and he couldn't breathe.

"Zhongkang, show mercy!!" Feng Yao was startled, and hurriedly stopped him.

Xu Chu looked back and said: "My lord! This person is too disrespectful to the lord, so it's better to kill him with a knife. Although this tiger prison is dangerous, in the eyes of his subordinates, it is easy to break through! There is no need to discuss any conditions with them! !" While speaking, he had drawn out the long sword and pressed it against Yang Xiu's neck, waiting for Feng Yao to nod, the sword would be swung down mercilessly.

Yang Xiu didn't even have the slightest bit of arrogance at this time, his face turned pale with fright, he gasped for breath, his limbs trembled, and begged for mercy: "Hero... hero, spare your life!... Spare me!...I..."

"Zhongkang, if the two armies are at war, if you don't kill the envoy, let him go first and see what he has to say!" Feng Yao said.

"Obey, my lord!" Xu Chu replied respectfully, retracted his long sword, and let go, Yang Xiu fell to the ground.

Everyone in the tent breathed a sigh of relief, but Feng Yao didn't speak at this time, no one dared to speak out!
Yang Xiu took a few breaths, he didn't care about the humiliation, got up from the ground in a hurry, bowed respectfully to Feng Yao, and said: "Hongnong Yang Xiu, pay homage to the general!!"

"Give me a seat!" Feng Yao's tone was majestic, and there was no expression on his face, but Feng Yao was about to laugh out of his heart. At this time, Yang Xiu not only had his hat crooked, but also had a lot of dust on his robe, his face Even more because of sweating, he looked a little embarrassed and a little funny.

Yang Xiu was still in shock and didn't dare to look behind Feng Yao. After receiving Feng Yao's order, he breathed a sigh of relief, raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and sat down under the table.

"General! Here..." Yang Xiu's name was a bit strange, and he looked at the entourage standing around in the tent again, hesitant to speak.

"These are my confidantes! Don't worry!" Feng Yao said.

"General! It's just that I have some private matters to discuss with the general. If there are too many people, I will be frightened, so it's hard to say it?" Yang Xiu cupped his hands, his expression quite distressed.

Feng Yao's heart moved, he glanced at all the relatives in the tent, nodded slightly, and ordered: "Let's retreat out of the tent for the time being, Yuan Zhi and Yang Wu stay here!"

All the relatives obeyed the order and withdrew. When Xu Chu passed by Yang Xiu, he glared at Yang Xiu angrily, snorted coldly, and then followed the other generals and exited the tent.

The big tent was empty, only Feng Yao, Xu Shu, Yang Wu and Yang Xiu remained, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

Yang Xiu heaved a sigh of relief, until he saw Xu Chu's figure disappear, then he showed a wry smile, bowed to Feng Yao again, and said, "Xiu had heard that the general's tent was like a cloud before, and seeing him today, it really is not good." False!!"

Feng Yao smiled slightly, he was noncommittal to Yang Xiu's polite words, and didn't bother to reply, he was more concerned about why Hulaoguan and Yang Xiu called him his cousin now!If there is such a relationship, it might exist as a bond of mutual trust.

As for the relatives in the clan, to be honest, because there are too many people, Feng Yao usually doesn't care much about these things, especially because of Yuan Shao's relationship, many relatives in the clan are divided into two factions, so there is usually no contact and no relationship. Feng Yao really didn't go out of his way to understand these relatives of the Yuan family who were too close.

Being homeless for a long time in his youth made Feng Yao feel a little indifferent towards the hundreds of members of the Yuan family and distant relatives!
"Why did you call me cousin just now?" Feng Yao asked curiously.

"The general really doesn't know?..." Yang Xiu was also a little surprised, but he soon realized that Feng Yao's surname is now Feng, not Yuan. The twists and turns of the story soon came to him, he sighed, and said: "General, I was mistaken by my cleverness!! If I had known about this earlier, I don't think there would be such a big misunderstanding between us, alas!!"

There was something in Yang Xiu's words, Feng Yao suddenly became interested, Xu Shu and Yang Wu behind him also looked at Yang Xiu intently, full of curiosity.

"General, my mother is also surnamed Yuan, and she and your father are brothers and sisters! My mother is also the general's aunt, if the recent rumors about the general's background are true!!" Yang Xiu sighed.

Feng Yao suddenly realized that a few months ago, out of need, he did disclose to the outside world that he was Yuan Shu's long-lost biological son. Although there was no positive confirmation that he was Yuan Yao, the rumors had already spread all over the world. Combined with his relationship with Yuan Shu and Mrs. Feng, this has almost become the consensus of the whole world!
