Although he secretly cursed in his heart, Yuan Xi admitted that with both sides empty-handed, he could still rely on deception to bully Lu Lingqi, but if he had weapons, as Lu Lingqi said, he would not be able to survive three rounds.
Practicing martial arts requires physical talent and understanding of moves. In this aspect, Lu Lingqi is top-notch. Moreover, she has watched Lu Bu practice martial arts since she was a child, so her understanding of martial arts is naturally higher than others.
Yuan Xi feels that given time, Lu Lingqi will most likely enter the ranks of first-class players.
As for Yuan Xi himself, he no longer has any obsession with martial arts. He has seen too many masters. He knows that those people are not only talented, but also laid the foundation at a very young age. He has already missed the opportunity.
It would be fine if he showed up badly. Anyway, Cao Cao's body and martial arts skills are not much better, so he won in the end.
He turned his head and said to Sunset: "It's true that I can't beat a girl. I'm just an ordinary person."
Yuan Xi pretended to be calm until Lu Lingqi came over and stood side by side with him, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief. What he was really afraid of was that Lu Lingqi would kick him from behind and kick him off the cliff. Then he would really die with his eyes open.
Lu Lingqi folded her hands and frowned: "How did you deceive my father?"
Yuan Xi spread his hands and said, "I'm just telling the truth."
Lu Lingqi sneered: "Have you already coveted me?"
Yuan Xi sighed, "Do you want to hear the truth, lady?"
Seeing Lu Lingqi nod, Yuan Xi said: "The girl should understand that the two parties are joining forces now because Marquis Wen does not trust me and needs my guarantee."
"As for coveting, the girl is indeed talented and beautiful, but I won't insist on the girl marrying me just for this reason."
"Girls should also understand that in family backgrounds like yours and mine, marriages are often unintentional. Most of the time, marriage is to make some contribution to the family."
Lu Lingqi said unwillingly: "You and your first wife, too?"
After hearing this, Yuan Xi nodded calmly and said: "Although I do like her very much, a large part of it does take into account the factors of the two families."
"In my opinion, men and women can be together based on pure love. There are very few people now and there won't be many people in the future."
Lu Lingqi was angered by Yuan Xi's cold words. She snorted coldly, "I heard that you are very lecherous?"
"There are many rumors about you among the noble clans. I heard that you have many women?"
Yuan Xi counted on his fingers, "It's probably less than ten fingers."
Lu Lingqi laughed angrily, "The person I want to marry must be devoted to me and be able to beat me!"
"You don't touch any of them!"
After hearing this, Yuan Xi said confidently: "Although I have many women, we are very dedicated to each of them."
Lu Lingqi was stunned. How could she be so shameless?
Yuan Xi continued: "As for the second item, the girl is a bit cheating."
"Young lady understands that, not to mention weapons, I should have kept my hands free the first two times we fought hand-to-hand."
Lu Lingqi spat, her face turned red, "Who will fight you hand to hand!"
She raised her short halberd and said, "If you want to fight, let's fight with real swords and guns!"
Yuan Xi said shamelessly: "Look, girl, the sunset is so beautiful, why do you need to shout and kill?"
"For someone like me who goes to the battlefield at any time, I don't know how many times I can see this kind of scene again."
"Wouldn't it be better to live well and enjoy every day?"
Lu Lingqi's interest was waning. She shook her hands and thrust her two halberds into the ground. She took a step forward, raised her head and raised her chest to look at the sky. She whispered: "I understand that as the daughter of the Lu family, I have been raised by the family, and I must serve the family."
Do something."
"But I'm not willing to marry like this."
"I also want to go to the battlefield to see how big the gap is between me and the world's masters."
Yuan Xi shook his head helplessly, "I'm going to die."
"You also saw Yang Feng in the previous episode, but in fact, her strength is still inferior to that of the top generals under my command."
"And there are not many people in the world who are as good as my general in martial arts, or even more powerful."
"Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Sun Ce and even Wen Hou are far superior to Yang Feng. How many moves do you think you can survive against them?"
Lu Lingqi bit her lip and hesitated: "Five moves, no, three moves?"
Yuan Xi sighed: "I may not be able to take a single move."
"You see, on the battlefield, there is actually no difference between you and me. We both die in three moves."
"Even so, do you still want to stick to your idea?"
Lu Lingqi was silent for a while, then raised her head again with a firm gaze: "Why not?"
"A few days ago, my master taught me the halberd technique, but I couldn't quite understand it."
"It wasn't until my mansion was attacked and I killed someone with my own hands that I finally understood the truth."
"The masters have also fought all the way. They can do it, why can't I?"
"I want to fight them!"
After hearing this, Yuan Xi sighed: "Marquis Wen will definitely not agree if the girl thinks so."
"With no eyesight, how could he let you put yourself in danger?"
Lu Lingqi straightened her body, "To become a master, you have to risk your life!"
"I have spent so many years practicing martial arts, but I am not willing to be able to see the scenery on the top of the mountain in the end!"
Yuan Xi suddenly laughed after hearing this.
Lu Lingqi said angrily: "Why are you laughing?"
Yuan Xi turned around and said seriously: "If the girl really wants to do this, I can satisfy the girl's request."
"In other words, among the people in the world, I am one of the few who can fulfill the girl's wish."
Lu Lingqi hesitated and said, "You mean?"
Yuan Xi nodded, "In the next few years, ten years, or even decades, I will face major battles."
"If you want to follow me, the girl will never lack the opportunity to fight."
Lu Lingqi was immediately moved, and then she reacted and spat: "You've been talking for a long time, but you still don't want to trick me into marrying you!"
Yuan Xi's expression remained unchanged and he smiled and said: "The girl also knows that I am a lustful person."
"Besides, the girl is very beautiful, how can any man refuse her?"
After hearing this, Lu Lingqi couldn't help but feel complacent, but she still pretended to be angry, "Looking back, I'm not the same as my father."
She realized immediately and quickly swallowed her words. No matter how lustful Lu Bu was, he was still her father, how could he criticize him in front of others?
Yuan Xi smiled, pointed to the horizon in the distance and said: "The world is in chaos, and someone has to end this chaotic world."
"The girl wants to fight, and I want to beat everyone. Wouldn't it be nice if we each get what we need?"
Lu Lingqi asked suspiciously: "Aren't you afraid that if something happens to me, my father will take you to task?"
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "On the battlefield, the two of us will live and die together. If you are killed by the enemy, I will definitely not survive."
"When the time comes when Marquis Wen comes to settle accounts with me, I'm afraid he won't be able to find anyone."
Lu Lingqi suddenly felt that Yuan Xi's idea seemed to be very reliable!
And when she heard Yuan Xi say that the two of them would live and die together, she was inexplicably moved in her heart, and felt her heart beat faster. She quickly pulled out her two ground halberds, turned around and left.
Before leaving, she said fiercely: "Don't tell my father what you said today!"
"Otherwise it would look better with you!"
Yuan Xi looked at Lu Lingqi's leaving figure and smiled casually, thinking, who doesn't like these straightforward and capable girls?
A few days later, everyone returned to Huaicheng. Lu Bu summoned the generals and announced his plan to welcome the emperor. Unexpectedly, all the counselors and generals under Lu Bu agreed, including Chen Gong.
This situation is also in Jushou's calculation.
The mastermind of the Huaicheng rebellion has not yet been identified, and Chen Gong has been accused again. How can he dare to say unnecessary words at this time?
So things settled down naturally, and Lu Bu and Zhang Liao led their cavalry troops, together with Zhao Yun Jushou's Youzhou Army, to rush to the east of Hedong.
Wei Xu, on the other hand, led the soldiers who fell into the camp and temporarily guarded the city for Lu Bu as the city lord.
Yuan Xi, as a guest minister, was on an equal footing with Wei Xu. Each of them was responsible for half of the four city gates.
Yuan Xi gave in here. He originally wanted to get the power to mobilize Wei Xu, because he was really worried about this person. Who knew when the other party would rebel?
But in the end, Lu Bu refused to agree due to many concerns. Finally, Yuan Xi gave in and took the power to control the North Gate and the East Gate.
If Wei Xu really has evil intentions, if he can't be defeated, he won't just sit and wait for death. At worst, he will just open the city gate and escape.
Jushu left some of the infantry of the Youzhou Army behind and gave them to Yuan Xi to take charge of. The reason for this was because he needed troops to contain Wei Xu and also to guard against Yuan Shu's army.
According to spies, Yuan Shu sent General Zhang Xunqiao Rui and led tens of thousands of soldiers into Sili and approached Luoyang. Apparently, he had a plot against the emperor.
Looking at the other party's route, it was pointed directly in the direction of Huaicheng, and the intention was already obvious.
Therefore, the plan agreed upon by Yuan Xi and Lu Bu was for Lu Bu and Zhao Yun to lead the cavalry and rush to Hedong as quickly as possible to bring the emperor back, while Yuan Xi and Wei Xu were responsible for guarding the city during this period and blocking Yuan Shu's army from attacking.
This plan seems simple, but in fact it puts a lot of pressure on both sides.
Although the combination of Lü Bu, Zhao Yun, and Ju Shou Zhang Liao is rare in the world, the opposite Li Jue, Guo Si, Bai Bo bandits, and even Cao Cao are not ordinary people. The Lü Bu Youzhou coalition may have to face several fierce battles.
The troops in Huaicheng are also stretched thin, with less than 10,000 soldiers left. Facing Yuan Shu's army, they are still at a considerable disadvantage.
Moreover, Zhang Yan, the Montenegrin army in the north, really wanted to fall out with Lu Bu and divide his forces to attack Huaicheng. Then Huaicheng would really be attacked from both sides.
Therefore, on the side of the Black Mountain Army, Yuan Xi can only hope that Yuan Shang will be more powerful. Although he is unlikely to let go in order to compete for the position of the head of the family, things are unpredictable and no one knows what will happen.
In the military camp outside the city, Yuan Xi was holding Zhao Yun and explaining what he and Guo Jiaju had discussed earlier.
At this time, everyone around him was sent away. Yuan Xi was still worried and lowered his voice and said, "Brother Zilong, remember this."
"When you meet the emperor, you don't need to hide anything, just answer the truth."
"The only thing you have to do is show some dissatisfaction with the Yuan family, and even with me, intentionally or unintentionally."
"Other than that, there is no need for Zilong to do anything extra. Just let nature take its course."
Zhao Yun was startled, thinking that the young master was being evil again, right?
What is the purpose of doing this?
Yuan Xi seemed to see Zhao Yun's thoughts and said with a smile: "Brother Zilong's attitude is the key among the keys in this matter."
