Chapter 4 One Year Period
At the critical moment, Yuan Fang decided not to pretend to be a lame, and to use Yuan Xi's underestimation to win with one move.
Yuan Fang knew very well that as his illegitimate son, he would not make any noise and attract the attention of the world and never make any progress.
Now, so many people present, including important officials of the Yuan family like Tian Feng, have been shocked by Yuan Fang, and this is exactly the result he wants.
If you don’t make a sound, you’ll make a splash!
The moment he defeated Yuan Xi, Yuan Fang let out a vent of anger in his heart, unable to say anything, but he did not show it and was still calm and calm.
Yuan Xi froze there, his face full of shock and disbelief.
He couldn't believe that the guy who had been lagging for more than 20 years suddenly got better at one moment.
He couldn't accept that the lowly brother who had been bullied by him for more than 20 years actually defeated himself in front of his father, Zhen Yi, and so many Yuan family aides.
Humiliation, great humiliation, Yuan Xi has not suffered such a major humiliation since he was born.
Yuan Xi was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he turned around and took advantage of Yuan Fang's back to launch a sneak attack and stabbed Yuan Fang with a sword.
The distance between sizes suddenly changed and suddenly appeared, and the sharp sword stabbed directly into Yuan Fang's back.
"Be careful!" The woman disguised as a man and issued a sharp warning.
Yuan Fang'er heard the sound of breaking through the air behind him, and suddenly looked back, Yuan Xi's sword edge had already stabbed.
The sneak attack happened too suddenly, and the two were too close to each other. When Yuan Fang turned around, the sword force was already stabbed in his chest. He had no time to dodge, and he had no time to return to the sword to block it.
It was obvious that the sharp blade was about to penetrate Yuan Fang's chest.
A critical moment.
Yuan Fang instinctively raised his hand, and his five fingers grabbed the stabbing sword without hesitation.
puff!
The sword edge stopped at the slightest place in front of Yuan Fang's chest. His sword body was grabbed by his hands, and it was difficult to move forward any more.
And blood was already flowing out of Yuan Fang's palm.
"You dare to attack and seek death!"
Yuan Fang was furious and shouted loudly. The long sword in his right hand was sharply cut out, slashing straight towards Yuan Xi's neck.
Yuan Xi's originally angry face was so frightened that it was twisted and deformed. He tried desperately to regain the sword and blocked it, but Yuan Fang was tightly grasped and could not take it back no matter what.
Seeing the sword attack, Yuan Xi screamed in fear.
The sword stopped shortly after a short while.
With a thought, Yuan Fang suppressed the murderous intent.
If he killed Yuan Xi today, he would certainly relieve his anger, but he was guilty of killing his brother. Yuan Shao would be angry and executed.
If you are not patient, you will make a big plan.
"Let's save you a dog's life..."
Yuan Fang snorted coldly, raised and kicked Yuan Xi's lower abdomen.
With a muffled sound, Yuan Xi was kicked three steps away, screaming in pain, covering her stomach and falling to the ground, describing her extremely embarrassed.
All this happened too quickly. When everyone reacted, Yuan Xi, who had failed to attack, was kicked out.
There was another uproar in the hall.
No one expected that Yuan Xi, who had a noble status, would have failed to compete in the sword, but he was even angry and angry. He made a despicable act of sneak attack, which was really a loss and a loss.
Everyone looked at Yuan Xi lying on the ground and shook their heads secretly, complaining about his sneak attack.
Even Yuan Shao frowned and looked angry, obviously quite dissatisfied with Yuan Xi’s actions.
"I didn't expect that the third young master could not afford to lose so much. He really lost the style of the Yuan family. However, the second young master dared to take the sword with his hands, and his courage was really extraordinary. He was only kicked the third young master to the ground when he was attacked. He did not take a heavy blow. This kind of demeanor was even more extraordinary..."
Tian Feng stroked his beard slightly, showing admiration on his face, and looked at Yuan Fang even more impressedly.
For a time, the staff in the hall reduced their contempt for Yuan Fang and looked at him a little differently.
Xiao Cha was heartbroken and quickly tore off the corner of his skirt and rushed up to bandage Yuan Fang's wound. Tears were already in his eyes, so he almost cried with heartache.
"I'm fine, just a little bit of injury."
Yuan Fang comforted her softly, but raised her head, looked upwards, nodded to the servant who was dressed as a man, and thanked her for her just now to warn her.
The servant nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
At this time, Yuan Xi gasped and got up from the ground. Facing the accusing eyes of everyone, he was both ashamed and embarrassed, and he didn't know what to do.
"Fang'er, it turns out that your legs are already well."
Yuan Shao, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke with a little resentment in his tone. He did not blame Yuan Xi for taking the sneak attack, but seemed to be complaining that Yuan Fang intended to conceal the truth about the cure of his legs.
Yuan Fang said lightly: "I went out for two months and went to Taihang Mountain to find a miracle doctor and gave me a good medicine. I just took it not long ago, but I didn't expect it to work so soon."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yuan Fang deliberately concealed it, just to give Yuan Xi a surprise, but Yuan Fang's excuse was perfect, so that Yuan Shao could not find any flaws.
Everyone's eyes looked at Yuan Shao, looking at their lord, and they planned to make a decision.
Now that the competition for martial arts is divided, the outcome has been decided. According to the prior agreement, Yuan Fang and the Zhen family should be married.
Yuan Shao pondered silently and did not make a decision for a long time.
Yuan Fang knew very well that Yuan Shao was still partial to Yuan Xi and wanted Yuan Xi to marry the lady of the Zhen family.
Thinking of this, Yuan instantly faced Yuan Shao and whispered loudly: "Why don't a real man have no wife? Since my father wants to choose Xianyi so much, and Xianyi wants to be the son-in-law of the Zhen family so much, I will give in to you."
As soon as Yuan Fang said this, another tremor in the hall was shaken.
If Yuan Fang took the initiative to give in during the previous competition, everyone would only laugh at Yuan Fang for being weak and incompetent and dare not compete with Yuan Xi.
Now that Yuan Fang is competing with swords, his martial arts and demeanor have surpassed Yuan Xi. When he gives up at this time, he is not only not timid, but also shows his broad mind and demeanor.
There have been many more people who look at Yuan Fang with admiration.
"I really didn't expect that the second young master is so arrogant. It's really amazing..." Tian Feng stroked his beard and admired Yuan Fang more and more.
At this time, behind Zhen Yi, the servant who was dressed as a man, showed a look of surprise and his eyebrows were quietly frowning.
Yuan Shao is not good at favoring Yuan Xi now. If he insists on choosing Yuan Xi, wouldn’t he admit that he prefers Yuan Xi in front of everyone and is unfair to deal with things?
Yuan Shao frowned and said in a deep voice: "If your parents make decisions about marriage, you can't let you give in as long as you say it. You can't let it be."
Yuan Disin no longer spoke much, but just stood calmly, let’s see how Yuan Shao ended.
After pondering for a while, Yuan Shao turned his gaze to the next person: "Guo Gongze, according to your opinion, how should I choose?"
Yuan Fang turned around and saw Guo Tu, who had two beards beards beside Tian Feng.
"Guo Tu is from the same group as two brothers as Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi. Yuan Shao asked Guo Tu. He obviously wanted to choose Yuan Xi, but he wanted Guo Tu to give him advice and abandon his biased responsibility. Hum, Yuan Shao, is this your demeanor..."
Yuan Fang guessed Yuan Shao’s intention at first glance.
Guo Tu glanced at a few squinted eyes, coughed a few times and said, "The lord has always been fair in his actions. My subordinates think that the both civil and military skills in Mr. Zhen's words should not only be martial arts, but also include martial arts. The lord should also compare the martial arts of the two young masters."
"Wu Lu?" Yuan Shao's expression gradually improved.
Guo Tu said slowly: "My subordinates, I want to divide the troops to capture the two states of Qing and attack Gongsun Zan. Why don't you send two princes to lead the army to attack the two states, and it will take a one-year period. It depends on who has a better result and who has a better martial arts strategy. When will he choose who will marry the Zhen family's daughter? Isn't this a kill of two birds with one stone?"
"What a cunning Guo Tu..."
Yuan Fang immediately saw through Guo Tu's tricks.
The two brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan have many supporters in the Yuan Shao group. If Yuan Xi wants to go out to fight, he naturally needs soldiers, generals, and money.
However, Yuan Fang's "original" has been in the mansion for more than 20 years, and there is no supporter outside. He just leads troops to fight. The difficulties can be imagined.
Needless to say, in Guo Tu's opinion, the person who lost must be Yuan Fang.
Yuan Shao nodded slightly and agreed: "The proposal of Gong Ze is indeed the most fair. Fang'er, I will order you to attack Qingzhou. As for Xier, I will attack Bingzhou. Within a year, whoever you have more fruitful results will choose who you are for your father."
Yuan Shao did not give others a chance to speak, so he adopted Guo Tu's proposal in one go.
"Qingzhou is Gongsun Zan's territory, but Bingzhou is dominated by the Black Mountain bandits. It is obvious that Qingzhou is even harder to chew. But you asked me to attack Qingzhou. Yuan Shao, you really have you."
Yuan Fang sneered in his heart, pondered for a long time, looked up at Yuan Shao, and said calmly: "Since my father has made this decision, what else can the child say? I will take Qingzhou within one year."
Yuan Fang agreed very quickly. In the eyes of others, this was Yuan Shao's bias, but in the eyes of Yuan Fang, this was his rare opportunity.
Only by seizing this opportunity can Yuan Fang escape from the Yuan Mansion, a place of right and wrong, and pull out a group of troops and have the opportunity to break out of his own territory.
Even if the opponent is a strong man like Gongsun Zan, the chance of winning is very weak, Yuan Fang will never give up.
Because this is his only chance to change his destiny.
