Simulate the Three Kingdoms, kill Cao Mengde at the beginning

Chapter 74 The Gentleman and the Villain

Yuan Shang was choked and speechless.

The two were silent for a while, Yuan Shang said: "Then let me ask you, do you still support me?"

Yuan Xi showed displeasure on his face, "Third brother, you are so skeptical. I doubt that you will ascend to the high position in the future. My second brother's safety is still guaranteed."

Yuan Shang breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as you support me, no one can hurt you."

"I don't think so. Then Suyou can't say how to deal with me in the future."

Yuan Shang glanced left and right, and said in a low voice: "My brother apologizes to you for this matter. When the world is settled in the future, if he has the slightest dissatisfaction, I will kill him immediately for my brother."

Yuan Xi moved his face and said: "Third brother, is this really the case? Then Su You is a general under your command."

Yuan Shang said indifferently: "If he kisses again, can he kiss second elder brother?"

Seeing his serious expression, Yuan Xi secretly scolded him for being shameless, but said: "Brother Yu treats me like this, so you can rest assured."

Yuan Shang rolled his eyes and said in a low voice: "But the second brother, the third brother has a merciless request."

"Third brother, it's okay to say."

Yuan Shang said with an unnatural expression: "This time, my eldest brother and I really fought a useless battle, and I want to save some face."

Yuan Xi looked at him puzzled.

Yuan Shang turned his head, his cheeks were reddish and said: "Second brother has more experience in beating the Cao family, maybe he can really defeat that Cao Pi."

Yuan Xi smiled and looked at Yuan Shang silently.

Yuan Shang coughed twice, and then said: "I plan to send Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to lead our troops to join the battle with my second brother. If I win, I'll be fine too. Hehe."

Yuan Shang smiled concealedly, carefully checking Yuan Xi's expression out of the corner of his eye.

"no problem."

Yuan Xi put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Third brother can go together, and I can help third brother as well."

Yuan Shang was taken aback, and said anxiously: "No, no, I have to guard the rear. If I go, no one will take care of the food and grass."

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "The food and grass are all in the rear, you can just let the judge manage it. We brothers are of one mind."

Yuan Shang interrupted him, shook his head and said: "Forget it, I failed once, and I can't fail a second time. Otherwise, the elder brother will overwhelm me in momentum."

Yuan Xi was dumbfounded.

Yuan Shang turned sideways and patted Yuan Xi's shoulder, "Second Brother, fight hard, you and I are of one mind, if you win, I win."

Yuan Xi scolded shamelessly, but his mind quickly became active, "Third brother, do you know how many soldiers and horses I can bring this time?"

Yuan Shang blushed, "I don't know, it should be quite a lot."

The two major defeats almost wiped out the Yuan family's surplus soldiers and horses. Yuan Shang really doesn't know how many soldiers and horses he can produce now.

"It's okay, hit slowly."

Yuan Xi said earnestly: "When the time comes, I will leave the food and grass behind to my third brother."

Yuan Shang cheered up, patted his chest and said, "Second brother, don't worry, the supply of food and grass is guaranteed to be sufficient."

Yuan Xi smiled, he could only hope that this kid wasn't bluffing.

Don't ask him for help, just don't make trouble for yourself.

Suddenly remembering the matter of bows and arrows, Yuan Xi lowered his voice and said: "The third younger brother must be careful of the elder brother in the rear, lest he cause trouble for me."

Yuan Shang sneered and said: "If he dares to do this, even if he is the eldest brother, I guarantee that he will be able to pass through the prison."

Farewell to Yuan Shang.

Yuan Xi asked someone to inquire about Jushou, and was about to go and see, but he didn't expect a letter from the palace that the little emperor wanted to see him.

"Go, go see the emperor first."

Yuan Xi brought Cheng Yu and Xu Chu into the palace.

After entering the palace, Liu Xie cried to him again, Yuan Xi accompanied him for a while, pretended to cry, said a few words of comfort, asked for an imperial decree, and then left the palace.

Inside the Xuchang government prison.

Yuan Xi saw Jushou whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Inside the prison, there was a stench everywhere, Yuan Xi frowned and came to the end of the cell.

Ju Shou was leaning against the wall listlessly, and when Yuan Xi arrived in front of the cell, Ju Shou didn't even notice him.

"Jugong."

Looking at the inhuman Jushou, Yuan Xi had mixed feelings and called out emotionally.

Ju Shou turned his head, his eyes blank.

"Ju Gong is me, Yuan Xi."

Yuan Xi wiped away tears indiscriminately, pointed to the cell and said, "Open the door."

The jailer wondered: "Second Young Master, this is."

Yuan Xi kicked over and cursed, "Open the door for me."

The jailer took two steps back after being kicked, stabilized his figure and hurriedly took out the key, and opened the cell door.

"Jugong."

Yuan Xi walked in quickly, looking at the skinny Jushou, she was so sad that she burst into tears.

Ju Shou stretched out his skinny fingers, and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, it's the Second Young Master?"

"It's me, don't you know me?"

"Is he really the second son?"

Ju Shou was also in tears, and said sadly, "Second Young Master, I never thought that you would come to see the old man at this time."

Yuan Xi wiped his eyes: "Don't worry, Mr. Ju, I will lead the army in a few days, and I will definitely rescue Mr. Ju."

Ju Shou sighed, and said weakly: "The old man has been thrown into death row, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get out."

Yuan Xi said: "Mr. Ju was wronged, why can't he get out?"

Jushou's expression was dull, and he said in a daze: "You, you also believe that I was wronged?"

Yuan Xi looked at this loyal official of the Yuan family who was being tortured by the Yuan family, and felt that there was an inextinguishable fire burning in his heart.

He forced a smile and said, "With the wisdom of Mr. Ju, I'm afraid that if you know that your father also knows that you have been wronged?"

Ju Shou smiled wryly, but did not speak.

Yuan Xi sighed, as expected.

Yuan Shao is clear, and Ju Shou is clear.

Many things are like this, everyone knows it, everyone pretends to be confused, only the ignorant people are the most confused.

"Jugong, wait for me to rescue you."

"Hey, good."

Ju Shou smiled, "Second Young Master can do his best, whether the matter is successful or not, the old man accepts Second Young Master's affection."

Yuan Xi got up and walked outside, he was afraid that if he stayed, he would lose control of his emotions.

In this era, he has disdain for many people.

I don't even think I'm a good person.

But for a character like Jushou, he respects him from the bottom of his heart.

If Jushou died in the hands of the Yuan family, he felt that there was really no need for the Yuan family to exist.

At night, Yuan Xi finally saw Yuan Shao.

"Father."

Yuan Xi stared blankly at Yuan Shao, but he didn't expect Yuan Shao to be worse than Ju Shou.

The last time they met, he still remembered Yuan Shao's high spirits and majesty, like an invincible emperor.

This time they met, Yuan Shao had become a bad old man on the verge of death.

The human condition is really fickle and unpredictable.

He rubbed his eyes hard, walked over with red eyes, and cried out sadly, "Father."

"Xianyi is here."

Yuan Shao opened his eyes reluctantly, and said with a smile, "You have worked hard all the way from Youzhou."

"It's not hard, this is what a child should do."

Yuan Xi was lying on the quilt, with his head down, and his voice was sad.

"Head up."

Yuan Xi squeezed his eyes hard, and slowly raised his head.

Yuan Shao sighed lightly: "Xianyi, you are going to fight this time, do you have confidence?"
