After hearing what Yuan Xi said, Taishi Ci said: "Actually, I ate all of it yesterday, but it's okay to hold on for another two days."
Tian Yu saw Taishi Ci's dejected look and had no doubt that what the other party said was true. He felt his mouth was astringent. He wanted to plot against the other party, but of course he also thought of the possibility of being plotted by the other party.
But Tian Yu really didn't expect that the other party was so determined to catch him, and even sent generals out, just to ambush him?
He sighed and threw away the long bow in his hand, "I lost."
Before he finished speaking, he jumped up and rushed towards Yuan Xi, already holding the Huanshou knife on his back with his backhand!
Fight!
Although the opponent is a ferocious tiger, he may not be unable to kill him in exchange for his life!
However, what shocked Tian Yu was that Yuan Xi, who had been angry with Yue Yuanqing just a moment ago, immediately turned around and ran towards the stream when he saw him coming, without any delay.
Tian Yu chased into the stream and his pace gradually slowed down. He stared blankly at Yuan Xi running across the stream very quickly like a monkey. Taishi Ci and Sun Li took the opportunity to block his attack route.
Tian Yu felt extremely depressed in his chest. He was filled with grief and anger and yelled, "Why?"
"Why do you look down on me so much?"
"Why don't you dare to fight me?"
"Is yours worthy of the name Yuan Family Fierce Tiger?"
Taishi Ci's face twitched slightly. He knew how much Yuan Xi weighed. When the two were sparring, Yuan Xi couldn't even take two of his own moves.
Not to mention his ability to challenge Liu Guanzhang alone, Yuan Xi may not be able to survive if he is given one hand, and he doesn't know how the name of this fierce tiger spread.
But when it comes to this name, many people believe it. Do you think Tian Yu has been fooled?
At this time, Tian Yu was surrounded and attacked by Tai Shi Ci and Sun Li. He waved the Huanshou Dao and took a few attacks, and then he knew that he was finished.
Not to mention that he couldn't defeat Tai Shici in a single fight, but even for such a young Sun Li, his strength was surprisingly strong. The two swords clashed, causing Tian Yu's hands to go numb slightly from the shock.
Moreover, Sun Li's sword was extremely fierce. He stepped in the stream. Although his body was shaken by the stream, he used the power of the swing to get into Tian Yu's arms. He struck up and down, and the sword was dangerous, as if fighting.
Life is average.
Yuan Xi nodded repeatedly as he watched from the shore. As expected, martial arts training depends on talent. Given time, Sun Li will definitely become a fierce general!
The three people exchanged weapons and saw more and more gaps in Tian Yu's ring-first sword. Taishi Ci saw the opportunity and took the opportunity to catch the ring-head sword with his two halberds. With a strong stir, the long sword in Tian Yu's hand suddenly broke into two pieces.
Tian Yu let out a long sigh, threw the knife into the stream, looked up to the sky and sighed: "I wish I could fight a fierce tiger!"
Taishi Ci and Sun Li had extremely subtle expressions on their faces, thinking that if Tian Yu knew the truth, they didn't know how they would react.
Whistles sounded one after another, and the people ambush in the cave began to gather here.
Yuan Xi then stepped forward with confidence and tied up Tian Yu firmly using the technique Zhao Yun had taught him before.
Not long after, dozens of people appeared, and Tian Yu found many familiar people among them, including Zhao Yun, Qu Yi, generals, and dead soldiers.
Including Zhao Yun, they all looked haggard. It was obvious that they were not feeling well after being in hiding for several days. After seeing Tian Yu being arrested, they all showed expressions of relief and applauded in unison.
Bang bang bang, bang bang bang, everyone clapped their hands vigorously, with happy smiles on their faces.
Tian Yu was a little confused. What did this action mean?
Yuan Xi smiled and said to Tian Yu: "This is the rule in our hometown for welcoming distinguished guests."
"At the same time, I also express my admiration for Brother Guorang."
"Brother Guorang, do you know that everyone worked very hard to catch you this time?"
In order to capture Tian Yu, Yuan Xi and Guo Jia repeatedly discussed this and finally chose the simplest and most dangerous strategy.
Set up an ambush.
Some people are hiding in caves like Tai Shici, some are hiding in dense forests, some are hiding in abandoned thatched houses, some are hiding in caves, and some are even hiding in random graves.
Yuan Xi's hunting and wandering routes in the past few days were carefully calculated with Guo Jia to ensure that no matter where Tian Yu launched an attack, there would be experts nearby to immediately support him.
The place where Tian Yu launched his attack this time happened to be close to Taishi Ci's ambush. Because Taishi Ci could equal one to ten, the place was far away from the others. Therefore, it was not until Tian Yu was captured that the others rushed over.
Of course, based on the number of soldiers Tian Yu might bring out, Yuan Xi and Guo Jia also made a lot of responses. If Tian Yu brought out hundreds of white horse Yi from the capital, Yuan Xi would have to try to escape and at the same time introduce Tian Yu into an ambush.
lock up.
This is not without risks. If Tian Yu detects the ambush location and generals like Zhao Yuntai Shici are killed here, Yuan Xi will really regret it for the rest of his life.
However, when Zhao Yuntai Shici and others heard this plan, they just smiled and said, "When are we not facing life and death on the battlefield?"
"If we all retreat in this situation, how can we improve in martial arts in the future?"
After hearing this, Yuan Xi realized that the difference in mentality between himself and people like Zhao Yun was decisive, regardless of physical quality.
Is this the so-called natural gap?
However, to Yuan Xi's expectation, Tian Yu only brought two personal guards to ambush him. Is this out of rejection of assassination, or does he feel that he cannot win with force, and he can't lose face?
However, the final result satisfied everyone. No one died and the matter was settled.
When Tian Yu saw the expressions on the faces of Zhao Yun and others, he suddenly felt that his assassination was so ridiculous and childish, like a farce.
His chest became more and more constricted, and he fainted from anger.
When Tian Yu woke up again, he was already hiding in a horse-drawn cart. Two of his subordinates were also tied up and lying down. However, the injuries on their arms were bandaged.
Tian Yu sat up and fell silent when he saw the outline of Beixin City in the distance.
He didn't understand that the other party had almost sent out all the generals in order to plot against him. Is this necessary?
He looked up at Yuan Xi who was riding a horse beside him and said in a deep voice: "Why? I don't understand."
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "I can slowly explain to you the things that Brother Guorang doesn't understand. Anyway, we all have a long time ahead."
Tian Yu said bitterly: "Anyway, I am a Jedi and will not take refuge in the Yuan family!"
"You'd better kill me now!"
After hearing this, Yuan Xi sighed: "You are very loyal to Gongsun Zan."
"But Gongsun Zan is about to fall. Why should brother Guorang be obsessed with this?"
Tian Yu snorted coldly: "It's better than Yuan's!"
Yuan Xi became interested as soon as he heard this, "Although I, the Yuan family, do not say that everything is perfect, my benevolent government is better than Gongsun Zan who set out to plunder the people, right?"
After hearing this, Tian Yu turned away and simply stopped talking.
Yuan Xi took a look and realized that there must be some inside story.
However, seeing how stubborn Tian Yu was, Ye Wen couldn't tell anything for a while. Yuan Xi was not in a hurry anyway, so he just locked him up and asked questions slowly.
Now that Tian Yu's matter is settled and spring plowing is over, he can finally free up his hands to develop the salt and iron industry and commerce and prepare for the upcoming battle of Yijing.
After returning to Beixin City, Yuan Xi ordered Sun Li to imprison Tian Yu first, then returned home and took a bath before relaxing.
Wu Zhao came over with new clothes, put them on Yuan Xi, and said, "Mr. Fengxiao has been asking you every day when you will be back during your absence."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Counting the days since I've been gone, he still owes me more than a dozen questions."
"What does he want to do?"
After hearing this, Wu Zhao blushed slightly and spat, "He said that one concubine is not enough, and he wants to negotiate terms with the young master."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "Two? He has a good idea."
"No wonder he's early."
"It's not good for his health to be like this. If the tree is shaken too often, it will break."
Wu Zhao heard this, glanced at Yuan Xi's robe, turned away with a smile, "Then I will sleep with Cao Xian tonight, and let the young master be as motionless as a pine tree."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi said confidently: "Am I comparable to a sex critic like Guo Jia?"
"Furthermore, you noble women live such a luxurious and wasteful life, and several of you have to sleep in separate rooms. Do you know that ordinary people out there sleep with several people in one room?"
"Call Cao Xian over. The three of us will sleep in one room to set an example."
"By the way, I want to sleep in the middle!"
In the early morning of the second son, the genius was bright. Yuan Xi opened his eyes and saw that Cao Xian was sleeping soundly next to him. Wu Zhao had already gotten up early, knelt down in front of the desk, and wrote something on the bamboo slips with a pen. The curves seen from behind were still there.
Wonderful and moving.
Yuan Xi crawled over lightly and saw Wu Zhao writing a number of little things on the bamboo slips less than a finger wide. He said softly: "It's too early to get up. There's no need to be in such a hurry."
Wu Zhao heard Yuan Xi getting up early and said softly: "I think you must have a lot of questions to ask Mr. Feng Xiao, so I sorted out the documents sent by the officials these days."
Yuan Xi nodded and said: "Yes, he still owes me a book of One Hundred Thousand Whys."
Wu Zhao chuckled and said, "You are a person, as long as you can't use it to death, you will use it to death."
"I think Mr. Fengxiao didn't die from the drunkenness you mentioned, but he died from exhaustion from you first."
Yuan Xi stretched out his hand to stop Wu Zhao's waist and said with a smile: "You have worked hard day and night, aren't you tired?"
Wu Zhao's body trembled, with a smile on his face: "Don't think that I can't tell that you are taking advantage of me. If you continue to be so immoral, how can you accidentally reveal your true nature in front of the Zhen family girl after you marry her?
manage?"
Yuan Xi coughed dryly: "This topic is too heavy, let's change it."
He saw that the bamboo slips used by Wu Zhao were made of finely woven reed strips. Each bamboo strip was half a finger wide and a foot long. It was cut very thin and could write more than twenty characters.
In fact, in terms of weight, this bamboo slip is not very heavy, and it has a very good advantage: it is easy to store.
Later, a large number of bamboo slips were unearthed from the tomb of Marquis Haihun, many of which had been rolled up in the mud and completely discolored.
But after treatment, the bamboo strips regained their shape and the writing on them was clearly visible. After two thousand years, the history was once again displayed to future generations.
He asked: "How is the recruitment of officials?"
Wu Zhaodao: "Although Beixin City is on the right track, it still needs a lot of officials to manage affairs. Although several charity houses have been opened to teach good people to read and read, it still can't be effective for a while."
"Some people from Youzhou have come to seek refuge, but there are not many of them, even fewer are literate, and the situation in Youzhou is very chaotic now."
"Although some forces such as Xianyu Fu Yanrou and Wuhuan raised troops to resist, many nobles still attached themselves to Gongsun Zan. After all, he was General Fenwu and Marquis of Ji who were professed by the Han court."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi said: "Sometimes it is not a good thing for the Han court to be granted the title of Marquis. When Lu Bu was granted the title of Marquis of Wen, he would have to do things for the Han court. As a result, he did something wrong."
"Do you think that the current decree issued by the Han Emperor was really hijacked by others and was beyond his control, or did he have his own ideas?"
Wu Zhao put down the pen in his hand, leaned into Yuan Xi's arms, and sighed: "If it is the latter, then he is really not simple, nor is it easy."
"When it comes to the Han and Han dynasties, being an emperor is not an easy task, and few can achieve good results."
"As for the ministers, it is even more difficult to protect themselves wisely. My father also died in an unknown manner. I still don't know why Wang Yun targeted my father."
Yuan Xi sighed: "Now that Wang Yun is dead, I'm afraid no one knows what he was thinking."
He suddenly remembered that he had gone to Xuzhou to see off Kong Rong's wife and daughter the day before yesterday, and said, "You also have a sister, Cai Zhenji, where is she now?"
Wu Zhao turned around in surprise, "How do you know your sister's name?"
"Are you really good at stargazing?"
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Why, do you believe it?"
Wu Zhao glanced at him, "It's weird if I believe it. I don't know where you found out about it."
"She should still be at Taiyang's place."
"My father and I lived in the Yang family in Taiyang, and we happened to be recruited by the Han Dynasty. My sister was still young at that time, and my mother died early and there was no one to teach her. So my father asked the Yang family to adopt her, and I followed my father to Luoyang."
"Although my sister was separated from her father, she was lucky enough to escape the disaster of her father being killed and Luoyang being plundered by the Huns. I guess it's because the auspicious people have their own horoscope, which is much better than mine."
Yuan Xi thought that according to later history, the fate of the two sisters was really completely different.
Cai Zhaoji became a widow after marrying into the Wei family. After returning to Luoyang, she witnessed her father being killed. Then she was kidnapped by the Xiongnu and lived in the north for many years. Finally, she was redeemed and remarried. It can be said that she had a bad fate.
However, Cai Zhenji was left behind in the Yangtze clan, which made her look like a child bride when she later became Yangdi's stepwife.
However, the children she gave birth to lived up to expectations. Her son Yang Hu became a famous general in the Western Jin Dynasty and was promoted to Taifu, and her daughter Yang Huiyu became the Queen of Jingxian.
He comforted: "The theory of fortune-telling is so illusory that even a genius like me who is good at stargazing cannot get the whole picture."
"But I see that you also look like a wealthy person."
Wu Zhao was amused by Yuan Xi and laughed, "Your unmarried wife is the image of great wealth. You better think carefully about how to give a betrothal gift to Yi Jing after you conquer her."
Yuan Xi looked out the window. It was spring outside and flowers were blooming. He remembered the way Zhen Mi stood on the small building and waved to him in the ice and snow when they were leaving. His thoughts came out again like a tide.
Is she standing on the small building now, looking in the direction of the north, telling herself something?
