Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

And just now, when talking about Li Yi, Yuan Yao wanted to take over the errand. After all, his identity is fine, no matter how old he is, he is the best candidate, and he also wants to win over Li Yi, so that Li Yi became his man, but he didn't want Yuan Shu, his own father, to choose Zhuge Liang without thinking about him at all, and asked Zhuge Liang to choose someone. This made Yuan Yao sometimes couldn't help wondering whether he was still Not my own son anymore.

Yuan Shu didn't think too much about Yuan Yao's thoughts. After all, in his opinion, Yuan Yao was an adult after all, and Zhuge Liang was still a child, so he couldn't feel the pressure Yuan Yao felt because of Zhuge Liang's appearance.

After some compliments, Zhuge Liang first bowed to express his gratitude, and then continued: "Yang Changshi is the confidant of the righteous father, if he receives the Marquis of Xiang with Yang Changshi as the right person, not only will he not lose his etiquette, but it will also show that the righteous father appreciates him. Among them, in addition, General Ji can also be used as deputy. After all, General Ji is an old acquaintance of the Marquis of Xiang, so it can show his father's closeness. After Yang Changshi and General Ji are behind us, he is already satisfied."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Yuan Shu said three good words in a row, it can be seen that he was really happy in his heart, Zhuge Liang was able to distinguish the situation at a young age, what is even more rare is that he knows how to measure, how to advance and retreat, this made Yuan Shu couldn't help giving birth to a feeling, let Zhuge Liang change his surname to Yuan idea.

It's just that Yuan Shu also knew that he had to be cautious about this matter. After all, although he loved Zhuge Liang, he hadn't reached the point where he didn't want to kiss his son, so he had to think long-term.

Just when Yuan Shu wanted to praise Zhuge Liang a few more words, he suddenly heard a "boom" from above his head. In front of Yuan Shu.

Chapter 280: Godsend

"Boom"

"There are assassins!"

"Protect the lord!"

"Come on, all guards are alert!"

The sudden change caused the originally lively hall to become a mess in an instant. The guards in the courtyard outside didn't know what happened, but they were all on alert. In just a few breaths, the whole mansion was full of murderous aura.

Hearing the commotion and commotion around him, Yuan Shu was also a little scared, but he is a person who has seen the world after all. Although he is guilty, he has not yet panicked.

He took Zhuge Liang's hand and hid behind Zhang Xun for a while, confirming that there was no movement of weapons clashing except for the chaos and the initial rumble, Yuan Shu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, then patted Zhang Xun on the shoulder, and stood with a serious face Get up, and said loudly: "You don't need to panic, let's see who dares to make trouble again!"

At this time, nearly a hundred guards had poured into the hall, and Yuan Shu's subordinates were all around Yuan Shu. Under such circumstances, even if there were assassins, there was absolutely no chance.

Hearing Yuan Shu's words, everyone immediately calmed down.

Zhang Xun looked around and confirmed that they were all his own people. Yuan Shu would not be in danger. Confuse.

"My lord, after checking at the end of the day, no trace of the assassin was found, and there was nothing abnormal in the outer courtyard. The movement just now was a foreign object that flew from nowhere. It fell from the sky, smashed through the roof, and landed in the hall. made a sound."

As he said that, Zhang Xun pointed to the top of the entrance of the hall, and everyone looked at it. Sure enough, there was a hole in the roof there, and even a citron was broken. Ashes fell down.

Because everyone was too nervous before, they were only afraid that someone would assassinate Yuan Shu, but they didn't notice the hole in it.

Yuan Shu's complexion was very ugly, his first reaction was that some daring person dared to smash his roof down, this is really breaking ground on the head of Tai Sui, looking for death!

Seeing Yuan Shu's ugly face, Zhang Xun's heart tightened. Knowing that the lord was angry, he hurriedly said again: "The last general has arranged people to patrol outside the city, and he will definitely capture the rioter and hand him over to the lord!"

With a sullen face, Yuan Shu nodded lightly, and said, "Today's matter must be strictly investigated, otherwise I really think that I, Yuan, are good."

Yuan Shu was talking, but he heard Yuan Yao calling out: "Father, this thing is different!"

Although he was a little unhappy to be interrupted, Yuan Shu was a little worried when he heard the eagerness in Yuan Yao's voice, and Yuan Yao was not by his side. : "What's wrong?"

Everyone walked forward with Yuan Shu, only then noticed that when everyone surrounded Yuan Shu before, Yuan Yao had never moved at the same place, and on the edge of the steps in front of Yuan Yao, there was a four-four Fang Fang, about the size of a child's chest, black and not slippery.

The thing was smoking and sparkling, and a long line of burnt marks could be seen on the floor tiles extending from where the thing was to the hall door.

Apparently, it was this thing that smashed through the roof and continued unabated. It rolled in front of Yuan Yao and mounted the steps before it stopped.

Yuan Yao's face turned pale, maybe he was frightened, and when he saw Yuan Shu approaching, he pointed at the thing and said, "Father, this thing seems a little weird, I just saw smoke coming out of it."

Seeing that Yuan Yao was fine, Yuan Shu heaved a sigh of relief, and then began to look at the things in all directions. Feeling curious, he wanted to go up to check, but Ji Ling, who had been closely following Yuan Shu, took a step forward and said, "Wait a minute, my lord. Be careful that there are hidden organs in this thing that will harm people!"

Yuan Shu thought so, took two steps back, nodded to Ji Ling, and let him make arrangements.

Ji Ling just drank too much, and felt very ashamed for not being able to guard Yuan Shu at the first time when the accident happened. So, without calling the guards, he stepped forward in person, stretched out his hand to try it nearby, and withdrew his hand : "My lord, this thing is very hot, so I can't touch it directly, huh? Hmm, why does this thing have a strange smell?"

Just as Ji Ling was talking, his face suddenly changed, but he accidentally saw a large wet mark under the hem of Yuan Yao's clothes.

Ji Ling was startled for a moment, but soon realized that his eldest son was so frightened that he urinated when he first arrived.

The corner of Ji Ling's mouth twitched, followed by a change of expression, and he said inwardly.

When Yuan Yao heard Ji Ling's grunt, his pale face turned red with embarrassment.

Yuan Yao grabbed the hem of his shirt with one hand and the wine cup with the other, and deliberately poured some wine on his shirt to cover up, but the rest of the people had already been attracted by Ji Ling's gaze, and it was too late to fake it.

Yuan Shu's civil and military subordinates looked at each other in blank dismay. No one thought that Yuan Yao was so frightened that he pissed his pants and wanted to smooth things over for Yuan Yao. When I spoke, I was afraid that if I was careless, I would end up in trouble.

"Father, I, I"

Under the gaze of everyone, Yuan Yao felt ashamed and angry, and wanted to argue, but he didn't know how to explain it.

Yuan Yao was indeed frightened just now, but it's no wonder he was timid, after all, he was sitting upright, and suddenly something flew towards him in the air, and there were sparks and smoke all the way. The situation would be scary.

Seeing Yuan Yao's faltering appearance, Yuan Shu was even more angry, and felt his face was hot, as if he was ashamed of himself, and shouted loudly: "If you don't hurry up, come down, you will be ashamed if you are still here!"

"Yes, Father"

Yuan Yao responded aggrievedly, then slowly got up, bowed his head and backed away, and with his footsteps, a few drops of wet marks would be left on the ground from time to time.

There was no sound in the hall, except for Yuan Shu's scolding, no one dared to laugh at Yuan Yao, but Yuan Yao just felt that everyone was laughing at him and pointing at his back. It would be a great humiliation to stay more than one.

Finally, Yuan Yao couldn't help it, grabbed the hem of his clothes with one hand, and ran out without caring about the bearing of a nobleman, fearing that he would stay here for a moment longer.

Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Yao's fleeing appearance, but was even more angry in his heart. He secretly scolded his son for not being up to date, and then looked at Zhuge Liang beside him. Except that Zhuge Liang was a little panicked at the beginning, he was calm and calm afterwards. , quite a bit of his demeanor when he was young.

"Cough cough."

Ji Ling coughed dryly and said, "My lord, please wait a moment. This thing seems to be still burning. I'll fetch some water to extinguish it."

Ji Ling would be so embarrassing to death, although it was his own fault that Yuan Yao was scared to pee, but he was the one who discovered it in the first place.

Ji Ling can be sure that he will be envied by Yuan Yao, and now he only hopes that this dark thing will not be an eyesore, so it may make Yuan Shu feel better.

In fact, there are really few people here who laugh at Yuan Yao in their hearts. After all, in terms of age, many of them can be regarded as Yuan Yao's elders. Although Yuan Yao's performance is a bit poor, it is not unacceptable.

However, Yuan Shu and his son, or the entire Yuan family, are extremely face-saving, and they themselves feel that it is too much, otherwise this matter can be laughed off.

Seeing that no one dared to speak out to persuade, Zhuge Liang suddenly pulled Yuan Shu's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Brother is very sad now thinking about it."

The eyebrows on Yuan Shu's tense face suddenly twitched. Before, he just thought that Yuan Yao was embarrassing him, but now seeing Zhuge Liang say that Yuan Yao was sad, he felt irritated for no reason, and faintly felt that he should do something, but But he was unwilling to do it anyway.

Zhuge Liang just mentioned it casually. Seeing Yuan Shu was noncommittal, he didn't say anything more. After all, Zhuge Liang didn't really treat Yuan Yao as his elder brother. He wanted to leave a good impression on everyone, and if Yuan Yao made things difficult for him in the future, it would be good for someone to speak for him.

And the effect of Zhuge Liang's words is really good. When many people look at him, their eyes are full of admiration. After all, who doesn't like a smart and friendly child?

Soon, Ji Ling asked someone to bring clear water and poured it on the square-shaped thing. With a burst of sizzling, a large cloud of smoke came out. When the water vapor dissipated, Ji Ling reached out and touched it. He rubbed the black ash on his hands again, and said: "My lord, this is a piece of wood, but I don't know what kind of tree it is from. It is very heavy and thick."

Yuan Shu glanced at Ji Ling angrily, thinking that this is nonsense, everyone present could smell the smell of burnt wood.
