After Yuan Xi learned the news, he smiled at everyone and said: "It's a coincidence. The Mi family is second best, but I haven't seen Yun Chang for a long time."
He said to Zhen Yao: "Let's see what else the Zhen family caravan can use and send it to Yunchang."
Jushu spoke out: "Mi Fang and Guan Yu are not on good terms, I'm afraid she doesn't necessarily want the young master to meet each other."
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "That's why I have to bring a gift so that I can have an excuse to meet Yunchang."
Jushou was a little worried, "Although Young Master and Liu Yuzhou are allies of each other, it is best to be just in case, and we still need to be vigilant."
Yuan Xi thought for a while, "Liu Yuzhou has no reason to attack me. Besides, I still have something to say that I want to ask Guan Yunchang to bring to Liu Yuzhou, so I still want to go on this trip."
"Besides, the two cities are only separated by a river of water, and it takes half a day to travel by sea. So I'd rather bother you and my husband to stay in Haixi."
Seeing that Yuan Xi had already decided, Jushu had no choice but to agree.
Yuan Xi said to Lu Xun again: "Bo Yan also comes with me to meet this fierce general of the world."
Lu Xun spoke up: "Your Majesty, your opinion of Guan Yunchang is so high?"
Yuan Xi said: "The three Liu Yuzhou brothers are all heroes of the world. It would be a pity if we never meet them again in this life."
After everyone's plan was decided, Yuan Xi sent a letter to Mi Fang, saying that he would visit Qucheng early tomorrow morning and asked to meet Guan Yu.
When Lu Lingqi saw that Yuan Xi had finished writing the letter and was being sent away, she said, "I'll go with you too."
Yuan Xi hesitated and said, "What are you going to do?"
When Lu Lingqi saw it, she snorted coldly: "Don't think I don't know. Are you taking this opportunity to meet the girl from the Mi family?"
"To be honest, have you two already been secretly hooking up?"
Yuan Xi was startled and said hurriedly: "Don't accuse someone of innocence out of thin air!"
"She and I are innocent and have nothing else to do!"
Lu Lingqi looked contemptuous, "Really?"
"I don't believe it!"
Yuan Xi sighed: "If you want to go, it's up to you. If something happens, don't regret it."
Lu Lingqi cheered and said with a smile, "What do you regret? Who dares to deal with us?"
Yuan Xi said: "Although it is unlikely, if Guan Yunchang wants to rival us, you and Sun Li plus me will not be his opponent."
Lu Lingqi looked in disbelief, "Is he really that powerful?"
Yuan Xi sighed: "In my opinion, fighting alone, he is stronger than Zilong and Ziyi. He can at least hold up to the two Yang Feng who were at their peak."
After hearing this, Lu Lingqi was even more eager to give it a try, "My husband said this, and I'm even more interested!"
"I must ask for advice tomorrow!"
Yuan Xi shook his head helplessly, thinking don't humiliate yourself, just be beaten and cry.
Mrs. Du, who was serving tea at the side, heard this and whispered: "Then I will be my concubine tomorrow..."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi said decisively: "Tomorrow may not be without twists and turns. For safety reasons, I may not be able to protect my wife well by then, so please stay in the house for the time being."
Mrs. Du did not expect Yuan Xi to refuse so simply. She was a little confused and had no choice but to agree.
Lu Lingqi waited for Mrs. Du to go downstairs to rest. Her eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and she looked at Yuan Xi, "Isn't Mrs. Du beautiful?"
Yuan Xi nodded and said, "It's indeed very beautiful."
The corners of Lu Lingqi's lips curled up, "Is your husband plotting against her?"
Yuan Xi was startled and hurriedly said: "Where is it!"
"Why do you think so!"
Lu Lingqi snorted: "You can tell by the way you stare at her, whether you dare to do it or not!"
"Is it a serious sin for a man to be lecherous? What's the shame in saying it? My father is even more inconspicuous than you, and it doesn't stop him from becoming famous all over the world."
"Besides, my husband is naturally cold-blooded. Even Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Wu are, tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Yuan Xi sweated profusely and defended: "I have said several times that what happened to Mrs. Wu was an accident!"
"I really haven't thought about Mrs. Du, please stop thinking about it."
Lu Lingqi still didn't believe herself and muttered: "Then why did you refuse so simply just now?"
"Isn't this because you don't want other men to see Mrs. Du?"
After hearing this, Yuan Xi felt a little guilty. He was originally going to see Guan Yu. When he heard that Madam Du wanted to follow him, he instinctively refused. Now thinking about it, he felt that there would be some things that Guan Yu didn't want to see when he met Madam Du.
something happened?
Although he didn't think he could use Mrs. Du to bribe Guan Yu, the other party would never betray Liu Bei because of a woman, otherwise it wouldn't be Guan Yu.
But judging from his subconscious reaction, could it be that subconsciously, he really coveted Mrs. Du?
He didn't want to face this ugly self, so he hesitated to Lu Lingqi: "It's getting late, and I have to go out early tomorrow morning."
Lu Lingqi looked out the window at the moon that had just risen halfway, and hummed: "Just pretend, it's just dark."
"Practice at night with me!"
Yuan Xi refused directly, "No, I can't beat you now, it's all in vain."
"I can make do with the other kind of night training."
Lu Lingqi's face turned red and she gritted her teeth and said, "Come on, can you beat me while lying down now?"
"Blow out the lamp, who is afraid of whom?"
Yuan Xi's hands shook, "Don't regret it!"
Mrs. Du was lying on the couch in the wing room on the first floor, listening to the faint voices of people upstairs coming from the crack in the door. She couldn't help but tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
She subconsciously put her ear against the wall and felt the vague sound suddenly become clear.
The faint sound of sobbing made her blush and her heart beat. Mrs. Du quickly slapped herself in the face, covered her head with a quilt, and folded her arms tightly around her chest.
…
I don't know how long it took, but Mrs. Du lifted the quilt and sat up suddenly, breathing heavily, her clothes were wide open and her hair was messy.
She was stunned for a long time, then slapped herself again, fell back, and hit the couch hard.
The cool breeze from outside blew in, bringing with it a hint of the warmth of early spring. Mrs. Du stared at the roof for a long time before falling asleep in a dull mood.
The next morning, Yuan Xi sat up on the couch. He held on to the wall and groped his way down to the ground, his heart filled with humiliation and unwillingness.
Defeated!
I can't fight even if I'm lying down!
When a scholar meets a soldier, he cannot explain why he is right!
This was the first time he regretted so much. Why didn't he have the talent to practice martial arts?
If things go on like this, where will my husband be?
He walked to the window, opened it, and looked at the sea in the distance. His slightly stooped back was full of loneliness and frustration at this moment.
From behind the quilt, Lu Lingqi's smiling voice came, "Husband, are you awake?"
"Do a good job and continue tonight."
Yuan Xi said bravely: "Who is afraid of whom? Just wash yourself and wait!"
When Lu Lingqi saw that Yuan Xi was still speaking harshly, she thought that the other party must be deceiving her!
But last night was really thrilling. My weakness was almost discovered. My husband was really cunning. In this tug-of-war, it all depends on who can hold on longer and who can win the final victory!
This is related to my dignity as the daughter of the Lu family, and I must not lose!
I will definitely hide my weaknesses and completely defeat my husband!
On the big ship going to Qucheng, Lu Xun looked at Yuan Xi, who had swollen eyes and was a little depressed, and asked worriedly: "Brother-in-law is not feeling well, or is it because he is troubled by something that makes him worried and exhausted?"
Yuan Xi thought that something big and round was indeed bothering him, so much so that he fought with it for most of the night and was finally defeated.
He patted Lu Xun on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Bo Yan, married men do have a lot of troubles."
"Twenty years from now, when you are squatting in the toilet and are too happy to miss Shu, no, happy to be home, you will be able to understand what I said today."
Lu Xun was confused:???
The ship docked, Yuan Xi went to the pier, and found that Mi Fang had already come to greet her. She held Yuan Xi's arm cordially and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is here, Fang is not very happy!"
"Now I have some wine in my humble house, and I would like to thank you for your honor."
Yuan Xi saw that Mi Fang looked familiar. Although her words were polite, her actions were extremely affectionate, as if she was a member of the family.
Judging from his demeanor, he probably couldn't wait to marry Mi Zhen, right?
Thinking of this, Yuan Xi had a headache. He did not reject Mi Zhen, but Mi Fang was a minefield that always made him extremely alert.
In future generations, after this cheating brother-in-law wants to take refuge in him, one day, Twitch will trick his general into him. Wouldn’t he want to cry without tears?
Mi Zhen can be accepted, but Mi Fang is still grateful but not sensitive. It is best to find a way to let her continue to follow Liu Bei!
But Yuan Xi knew that if he were Mi Fang, facing Liu Bei who was almost forty years old and occupied only a few counties, and Liu Bei who had taken over two big states in his early twenties, the emperor would personally seal the city.
As an important minister of the government, with Yuan Shao's backing, I am afraid that he will definitely choose to join the latter, right?
He pulled Lu Xun over and introduced to Mi Fang: "This is my adopted brother, Jiangdong Lu Boyan."
When Mi Fang met Lu Xun, she was confused, why had she never heard of this person's reputation?
Foster brother? Isn’t this the relationship between Liu, Guan, and Zhang?
Why does Fierce Tiger pay so much attention to this young man?
When Yuan Xi saw that Guan Yu was not around, he couldn't help but said: "I want to see General Guan today, but I don't know..."
A look of embarrassment appeared on Mi Fang's face, "I have sent someone to ask for General Guan, but the result is that General Guan only said he knew, but did not come."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Governor. General Guan is taking care of everything. I'll pay him a visit in person later."
He thought to himself that it was true that Guan Yu and Mi Fang had conflicting personalities. One was not giving face and the other was obviously vindictive. It would be strange if nothing happened if this went on.
Everyone met each other one by one. Mi Fang saw that behind Yuan Xi was a woman with an outstanding appearance and figure, neatly dressed in Hu clothes, and couldn't help but said: "This is..."
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "I forgot to introduce you."
"This is my wife, the daughter of Marquis Wen, who has the title of Lord Pingyang."
When Mi Fang saw her, she quickly bowed and said, "I have met the noble daughter of Marquis Wen."
He became confused, didn't the other party come here to see his little sister?
If Yuan Xi is really interested in his little sister, why would he bring Marquis Wen here?
