When Yang Feng heard these two familiar yet distant words, she felt dazed for a moment. How long had it been since she heard this in public?
After the Yellow Turban incident was defeated, Taipingdao went underground. This word, which was heard every day and passed down by word of mouth, also went underground and never appeared again.
Yang Feng thought to herself that when her father started the Yellow Turban uprising, he originally wanted to bring peace to the world, but why in the end, the world became more and more chaotic and there was no momentum for peace?
She clenched the iron chain in her hand. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had said that the princes, generals and ministers would rather have the guts. Is it still possible now?
The princes of the world are all dependent on the nobles, or are they themselves nobles. If they seize the world, they have nothing to do with the common people anymore?
These powerful nobles have taken away all the land of their common people. Even if they become emperors, they will continue to stand with the nobles and will not say a word for the common people. What is the need for such emperors to exist?
?
And people like my father who are from common people will eventually become pawns and tools of those people, and will end up with nothing. In this case, no matter how many emperors there are in the world, what difference does it make?
Yang Feng silently recalled the strange poem that Yuan Xi recited just now, thinking that even though these nobles were talking about nonsense, weren't they still doing one thing in front of others and another behind their backs?
How many good things are there among the nobles in the world?
Reciting Nima's poems and showing off.
Pooh.
The autumn rain was pouring down, and the people returning had different moods to welcome the unknown future.
In Wancheng, Lujiang County, Qiao Rui's mansion was greeted with rare joy and laughter.
Xiao Qiao took the family letter and ran to Da Qiao excitedly, "Sister, there is a letter from father!"
When Da Qiao heard this, he quickly put down the nvhong in his hand. The two women unfolded the bamboo slips together and read them word by word.
After reading it, the two girls were overjoyed. Qiao Rui wrote in a letter that he had been released this time and had gone to Wu County in Yangzhou via Jizhou. He was now preparing to return to Shouchun, Jiujiang County to return to Yuan Shu.
Xiao Qiao chuckled, "Sister, look, I just said that my father is fine, right?"
Da Qiao had a look of relief on his face, "My father is really a lucky man. The news that my father was captured made me sleepless."
Xiao Qiao suddenly flashed her big eyes and said, "Sister, I'm just too worried. We can't do anything. We should eat and sleep."
Da Qiao glanced at Xiao Qiao's extremely prosperous development over the past year, and thought to himself, you don't have to worry, I'm ready to go to Shouchun to ask for help!
She had already made very bad plans at that time, but luckily she didn't put them into action yet, and her father got out of trouble!
She was wondering, what happened?
According to the news she heard, Qiao Rui attacked the city and was captured, and Yuan Yao and Zhang Xun were repulsed. It is said that Yuan Shu was not satisfied with this and even had the idea of taking Qiao Rui's family.
After hearing the news, Da Qiao was in panic all day long and made many plans, including running away with her sister and finding someone for help, but she was not sure at all. Fortunately, in the end, things took an unexpected turn.
Rumor has it that something big is going to happen in Shouchun recently. Yuan Yao and Zhang Xun have returned. As for Qiao Rui's fate, no one seems to care to mention it anymore.
Da Qiao has never made up his mind. If something happens to Qiao Rui, should he take his sister and leave Wancheng?
But the two women had no relatives, so Da Qiao was very worried about where they could go. Since they had no relatives to adopt them, in this troubled world, the two of them would most likely end up being taken as concubines.
At least Qiao Rui is still alive at the moment. Da Qiao thought that after seeing his father, he should think about his escape. Not every time he was captured, he would be so lucky. If something happened to Qiao Rui, the family would probably fall apart immediately.
The autumn rain fell again for a few more times, and in the bleak coldness, everything seemed to have come to an end.
Jushou Tian Yu was stationed in the camp in the middle of Heishan, blocking the Black Mountain pass to prevent Yuan Shang from using his brain. Yan Rou returned to Youzhou to recruit Wuhuan cavalry.
Zhao Yun and Guo Jia followed Yuan Xi, escorted Yang Feng, and returned to Yecheng together.
Now that Yuan Xi thought about it, he felt that it was not normal. That day he took Yang Feng back to the camp. Yang Feng had been having a fever for several days. Yuan Xi didn't take it seriously at first, but Hua Tuo came over to take a look, his face was solemn, and he said he didn't want to
Even if there is no treatment, Yang Feng may not survive more than ten days.
Yuan Xixin wanted to let Yang Feng die on the way, but it didn't seem good, so he asked Hua Tuo to try to save her. At that time, Yang Feng was already unconscious. After Hua Tuo cut off her limbs and clothes, everyone around her was shocked.
There were dozens of wounds on his body, some were deep or shallow, some were new or old, most of them had festered and turned black, and even maggots were growing in some places. In a few deep wounds, one could even vaguely see the internal organs.
.
Lu Lingqi almost vomited on the spot. Yuan Xi did not expect that Yang Feng, as the general of Montenegro, would not treat herself at all. What on earth was he thinking?
Does this mean you don’t want to live anymore?
Hua Tuo worked hard for a whole day and night, cutting countless rotten meat strips from Yang Feng's body. Although he used his unfinished Ma Fei Powder, the effect was obviously not very satisfactory, and Yang Feng was so painful that he even lost his mouth.
Several of the wooden sticks inside were broken.
However, after some treatment, Yang Feng's life was temporarily saved. However, Hua Tuo looked at Yang Feng's pulse and said that the damage to his internal organs was more serious, and he was afraid that he would not be able to survive without medical treatment and rest.
If he were sent directly to Beixin City now, Yang Feng, who was extremely weak due to the bumpy road, would die suddenly.
So Hua Tuo suggested that he go to Yecheng, where medicinal materials are available, to recuperate for some time before he can cure Yang Feng's injuries. Yuan Xi found it ridiculous. He captured Yang Feng to kill her, but now he wanted to save her?
But in the end, I don’t know why. Maybe Lu Lingqi’s words at that time touched Yuan Xi. He always felt that Yang Feng could do this, and the obsession in his heart must be extremely strong.
Yuan Xi wanted to know what was supporting her.
For this reason, let her live for a few more days.
When Yuan Xi returned to Yecheng, Yuan Shang had already led his army back first. This time Yuan Shang did not make any trouble, and did not even interfere with the defenders Yuan Xi left in central Montenegro.
After all, he had achieved the military glory he wanted this time, and the passage from Montenegro to Bingzhou had been opened, which could be regarded as achieving his previous goal.
And compared to Yuan Xi's early action, Yuan Shang felt even more aggrieved that because there was no local guide in Montenegro, the Jizhou Army he led still failed to capture Zhang Yan, but was able to escape by taking advantage of his familiarity with the terrain.
What made him even more depressed was that Zhang Yan also ran to Anyi and became a general in the garrison directly under the emperor!
Yuan Shang was as disgusted as eating a fly. Yuan Xi was able to capture the general of the Black Mountain Army, but he fell short. He felt that his face was disgraced, especially when Dong Wuyang, which he had never captured before, was easily solved by Yuan Xi, which made him even more unhappy.
Balanced.
Therefore, at the celebration party held by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shang still lost his composure when facing Yuan Xi and made sarcastic remarks.
Yuan Xi was calm and unfazed. He now understood that dogs that bite don't bark. Yuan Shang's behavior of barking all day long, just like a guard-breaking pastoral dog, would not cause any harm to him now.
.
In contrast, Yuan Tan, who was doing things secretly, was the source of trouble.
Yuan Xi glanced at the wine glass in front of him, moved it aside, and looked at Yuan Shang leisurely, as if looking at a harmless puppy. Yuan Shang saw Yuan Xi's eyes and became more and more angry, but Yuan Xi didn't say a word.
Said that he could not find any opportunity to use the topic to his advantage.
What made Yuan Shang even more uncomfortable was Zhao Yun who was sitting opposite. Only after he returned to Yecheng did he learn that Yuan Shao had decided to marry Yuan Xing to Zhao Yun?!
Zhao Yun's brother has arrived in Yecheng, and both sides have begun to perform the six rites!
Because Yuan Xi had prepared well in advance, Liu Li was almost gone in less than half a month. By the time Yuan Shang returned to Yecheng, it was already coming to an end, and the two families were getting married in the past few days!
For a daughter of the fourth and third generation of the family to marry a feudal lord, it would not be considered a disgrace to the family. However, Yuan Shang was not happy because Yuan Xing was on good terms with the Hong family and could probably guess a lot about herself.
secret!
Yuan Shang initially thought of swaying Yuan Shao to marry Yuan Xingyuan to Wuhuan Shanyu, or at least marry Yuan Xingyuan, but he did not expect that Yuan Xi would mess up the matter after all.
Moreover, Yuan Xing married a general under Yuan Xi. In this way, Yuan Xi's power in the Yuan family will definitely be greatly enhanced!
Yuan Shang felt extremely aggrieved at this time. Yuan Xi, who was sitting across from him with a calm expression, seemed to him to be mocking him with every move he made.
He couldn't hold it in any longer and said, "Young Master Xianyi really impresses Shang."
"Not only did he open up territory for the Yuan family on the battlefield, but he also became a good talker among the Yecheng nobles about his concubine affairs."
"Especially because Master Xianyi is about to marry Marquis Wen's daughter, and it will make the Yuan family look good. I didn't expect that Marquis Wen, who holds a high position as a general, would be willing to give his only daughter to Master Xianyi as his concubine. He didn't know that the master had done it.
What can I do to impress Marquis Wen?"
After hearing this, Yuan Shao, the leader, also moved his hand slightly. Yuan Shang was secretly happy when he saw that he had succeeded.
Lu Bu, the general, had a higher position than Yuan Shao's Taiwei. Yuan Shao had a grudge against him, but now Yuan Shang revealed the matter just to make Yuan Shao alert.
A great general would not hesitate to betroth his own daughter as a concubine to a member of the Yuan family. What kind of good intentions can he have?
With Yuan Shao's character, he will definitely be wary of Yuan Xi!
As soon as Yuan Xi saw Yuan Shang speaking, he knew how his tail was wagging. He smiled and said, "I'm a little confused too. Maybe I am destined to be a noble girl?"
"I don't have any other hobbies except lust, which makes me very proud."
"Besides, I have very unique tastes, and I'm not that conciliatory. Not to mention the noble daughter of Marquis Wen, for example, the concubine I took in a few days ago is Cao Cao's stepdaughter, who was originally born to Bian Rang."
"There is something I haven't mentioned to the envoy and Master Xianfu yet. My first concubine was the eldest daughter of Cai Zhonglang."
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shao's face changed slightly and he put down the wine glass in his hand, "Which Cai Zhonglang?"
"Cai Yong and Cai Bojie?"
Yuan Shang was also stunned, Cai Yong’s daughter became a concubine?
Cai Yong was a great scholar in the world. Wouldn't the nobles in the world criticize him if he allowed his daughter to be a concubine?
Too courageous!
Yuan Shang was shocked, but at the same time he was filled with crazy envy and hatred. When nobles took concubines, they always looked for commoner women. How could Yuan Xi be so bold and unscrupulous?
Yuan Xi felt a little proud when he saw the shocked expressions of Yuan Shao and his son. If I said that I had a child with Sun Jian's widow, wouldn't you be even more rude?
But he didn't know that what Yuan Shao and his son were thinking at this time was, no wonder Yuan Xi brought Gongsun Zan's widow, the Hou family, into the palace. I'm afraid he had already taken advantage of it, right?
Why did the Yuan family come up with such a bold thing!
The one who was most dumbfounded was Yuan Shao. When Yuan Xi was his son, he could still teach him a few words. If he had been adopted by Yuan Ji, what else could he say?
He couldn't help coughing, "Xianyi, this is enough, Yuan still wants to lose face."
Yuan Xi smiled hurriedly and said: "What I want to teach you is that Xi will definitely restrain himself more and strictly control things in the future."
Yuan Shang rolled his eyes, saying nothing about feelings!
But Yuan Xi's naughty behavior undoubtedly diluted Yuan Shang's doubts about the relationship between Yuan Xi and Lu Bu just now. Although Yuan Shao will definitely still be wary, this suspicion cannot be eliminated since Yuan Xi and Lu Bu joined forces.
Anyway, if there are too many lice, they won’t bite.
Hong was kneeling aside to pour wine, thinking that the two brothers were really different in their behavior.
