Chapter 18 The two of them concealed their true feelings.
After hearing this, Yuan Xi drank the remaining half of the bowl of porridge in front of him, stood up and said, "Take your time, I'll go over first."
"Mr. Gongren can pack his bags at any time. When the time comes, I will ask Brother Qu to take someone to take him to Hanoi."
The two stood up to see Yuan Xi out, then sat down again.
Seeing that Yuan Xi had gone far away, Dong Zhao thought for a while and said to Qu Yi: "Dezhou, do you think the young master really cares about the Han Dynasty?"
Ju Yi drank with his head down and said indifferently: "I am a rough man. I only know how to fight. Using my brain is what your counselors have to do."
Dong Zhao thought to himself that I just couldn't understand, so I asked you.
Yuan Xi, on the surface, imitates Liu Yu and lives a simple life, but Liu Yu is not necessarily really simple.
At that time, Liu Yusu was famous for his simple life and was praised for wearing coarse clothes on weekdays.
But Liu Yu also had another side. Her concubines were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, so some people said that they were different from what they looked like.
But Dong Zhao didn't care about this very much. Most of the famous celebrities in the world did it to achieve certain goals and show it to others, which is understandable.
No protagonist is pure and simple, otherwise he would not be able to reach that position.
In the final analysis, Liu Yu's biggest problem was that he was incompetent and lost the battle, leading to the death of a large number of his men.
In troubled times, good old people who are incompetent are not welcome. This is synonymous with letting people be exploited.
The lord Dong Zhao wants to rely on is the one who has the ability to be a hero and can keep the people around him safe in this troubled world and go to the end.
As for whether the other party really wants to revive the Han Dynasty, it is not the most important thing.
Dong Zhao couldn't see through Yuan Xi.
He felt that Yuan Xi's personality was actually very complicated, and he was definitely not what he appeared to be in front of others.
But this is also a trait, being able to pretend.
Even if he is just pretending, he has the skills to control his subordinates, can win battles, is good at accepting the suggestions of his subordinates, can treat the people well, and has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness. This is already better than many governors, Zhou Mu!
Yuan Xi was walking in the yard, thinking about Dong Zhaoquyi's affairs.
He is still unable to gain the complete loyalty of the two people, all because he is currently too weak.
Although this world pays attention to reputation, after all, good birds choose trees to roost in. Many famous ministers and generals in later generations also changed their masters. People like Zhuge Liang who stayed the same to the end are extremely rare.
If the lord is incompetent, his ministers will be exhausted and their loyalty will be lost.
Benevolence and righteousness does not mean incompetence. A benevolent and righteous person can also kill decisively and use any means when necessary.
Some people understand this from the beginning, and some people only realize this truth after wandering around and suffering countless losses.
What Yuan Xi can do now is to keep winning in this troubled world so that more talents can attach themselves to him.
He followed the young maid to the wooden house, waved her away, and knocked twice on the door.
A response came from the room, and Yuan Xi opened the door and walked in.
He saw the woman he brought back yesterday kneeling on the couch, lowering her head to salute him, and said, "Is she feeling better?"
The woman lowered her head and said, "It's much better. Thank you sir for saving my life."
Yuan Xi responded: "Girl, you don't have to be polite. Instead, I want to thank you for saving your life yesterday."
"If you hadn't helped me stab the Hun chief, I might have died."
The woman lowered her head and said, "I was frightened. My husband saved hundreds of women from danger. His words about punishing the Han invaders were inspiring. He is truly a hero of the world."
Yuan Xi was surprised and said: "The girl talks like this, she must have a family background. May I ask where she is from?"
The woman's body was shaken, and she almost revealed her secret!
She had something on her mind and did not dare to reveal her background. She only covered it up by saying: "I was originally a servant of an official in Luoyang. I naturally learned a few words from my master's words and did not dare to do anything in front of the general."
Yuan Xi thought to himself that this was interesting, but at that time, the gentry were mostly arty, and many celebrities and their maids and maids had their own strengths. They were either proficient in music or proficient in writing, so they didn't take it seriously at the moment.
Seeing that the woman was still lowering her head, he said, "Girl, you don't have to be polite, you can just raise your head."
The woman still lowered her head and said, "I am ugly and I am afraid of frightening my husband."
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Girl has saved my life, why should I be frightened? Don't worry."
When the woman saw it, she hesitated and raised her head.
Yuan Xi saw that her face was covered with black and red marks, and she tried her best to look crooked and squinting, feeling a little funny in her heart, "Don't worry, girl, I have no other intentions. When the girl was unconscious under the car yesterday, it was me.
He brought the girl back to his house."
After hearing this, the woman was stunned for a moment, then understood, and her face turned red immediately.
Yuan Xi made it clear. Yesterday she was injured and fell into a coma. After the coma, her face was normal. Now she is pretending to have a crooked mouth, which makes no sense.
She stopped squinting and said in a low voice: "I was disfigured when I was a child. I was afraid of scaring the general, so I did this. Please forgive me, general."
After Yuan Xi saw that he no longer concealed his face, although his face was mottled, his facial features were extremely straight.
If this woman didn't have a large birthmark on her face, she would have been extremely beautiful. Even if she had a birthmark, she would still be very charming.
When she fell into the hands of the Huns, good or bad luck was unpredictable. No wonder her facial features were distorted. From this, it seems that this woman is also a smart and knowledgeable person.
His heart moved, "How could the girl be robbed by the Huns?"
The woman hesitated for a moment and then said: "I live in the master's house in Luoyang and have a servant girl for the family. Her husband was widowed long ago. When the Xiongnu went south to cause chaos, I was kidnapped along with hundreds of Han women. It has been several months now."
"If it hadn't been for the general's rescue, I would have been in a desperate situation long ago. I don't know whether I will live or die. I will be deeply grateful for the grace of saving her."
What she said was true and false. After hearing this, Yuan Xi also sighed: "The Han family is weak and cannot protect its people. It is not the fault of the common people."
After hearing this, the woman raised her head in surprise. She didn't expect that such words could be said by a child of a noble family!
Only then did she have the opportunity to take a closer look at Yuan Xi's face. He had a square face and a calm expression. If he didn't have any flaws, he could be considered a handsome man.
But there is a huge problem.
Almost no beard.
Adult men in this world regard beards as their beauty. The so-called beautiful men all have beards, but there are also two types of people who do not have beards.
One is a eunuch, and the other is a man who is born with little beard, so-called male-female appearance.
When Yuan Xi saw the other person's eyes lingering on his chin, he immediately understood and said with a wry smile: "I don't have much beard, and my father doesn't like it very much."
The third brother Yuan Shang was the most favored because he had a thick beard, which was said to be handsome.
He opened his mouth and said: "My name is Yuan Xi, my courtesy name is Xianyi, and I am the second son of Jizhou Mu."
After hearing this, the woman was shocked in her heart and said involuntarily: "My concubine Zhaoji... my surname..."
She suddenly reacted, her thoughts changed rapidly, and she quickly changed her words, "My surname is Wu."
"Wu Zhao."
Because I had a fever for half a month and a cough that didn't stop for half a month and became worse and worse, I went to the hospital for a day's check-up.
The doctor told me good news and bad news.
The good news is there is no white lung.
The bad news is that I must have had pneumonia, and now I have problems with my upper and lower respiratory tract, and I have taken a lot of medicine.~
