after being kidnapped by the general

Yuanli: "???"

The horses went straight to the outside of Luoyang city.

Everyone in front of Chu Wang's mansion was startled by this sudden scene, and they stared dumbfoundedly at Chu Hechao holding Yuanli's arrows away.

Yang Zhongfa was the first to recover. He murmured, "My old lady, you are really promising to take people away directly, General."

"Hurry up," he trembled all over, raised his voice, and whipped down, "follow me to catch up with the general!"

A group of soldiers in armor responded loudly, galloping their horses, kicking up a cloud of dust and going away.

The King of Chu and the Yang family were stunned for a long time, then turned their heads and looked at each other.After a while, after realizing it, the King of Chu's face suddenly turned ashen. He patted his thigh resentfully, trembling with anger, "Niety! Nie! Chu Hechao!"

As soon as his elder brother died, he dared to kidnap his sister-in-law directly in public. Even though the king of Chu knew that Chu Hechao had no wolfish ambitions to try to take his sister-in-law, he still couldn't help being furious.

What should others think if this matter spreads out!

Guo Lin and Lin Tian also exclaimed, "Young Master!"

They hurriedly led the horse out of the mansion, Liu Jixin rolled his eyes, and quickly grabbed Lin Tian, ​​"Take us along."

immediately.

Yuanli's head turned from full of question marks to expressionless.

The horse was bouncing, and the armor on Chu Hechao's chest left a painful and deep mark on the side of his face.Yuan Li knew that he was kidnapped by Chu Hechao.

What is Chu Hechao doing?

Brain pumping?

Is it okay to play tricks on him?

"General," Yuan Li was circled in front of Chu Hechao, sitting sideways on the horse. This sitting position was very uncomfortable, his butt hurt, and there was a sense of crisis that could slip down at any time, Yuan Li smiled. Roubu smiled, "Please put me down."

The strong wind blew his words into pieces.

The next moment, Yin Hong put her head in her cloak and covered Yuan Li.Chu Hechao's voice came lazily through the layers of cloth, "Huh? Sister-in-law said something, speak louder."

Yuanli's forehead bulged and he raised his voice, "Chu Hechao, put me down!"

Chu Hechao said bluntly, "No."

No matter how good-tempered Yuan Li was, he couldn't hold back at this moment. He had no idea what Chu Hechao's move meant and what purpose it had.

Is revenge on him?tease him?Or is it a show for others to see?

It's impossible to take him to the northern border of Youzhou!

Yuan Li sneered, and raised his hand to tear off the cloak. Chu Hechao grabbed his wrist and said coolly, "Could it be that sister-in-law wants everyone in Luoyang to know that you were kidnapped by me?"

With his fair and slender fingers without stopping, Yuan Li tore off the cloak that covered his face. The danger of killing people on the farm that day reappeared on his beautiful, smiling face. He raised his eyes and looked at Chu Hechao, His eyes were filled with suppressed dazzling anger, "General Chu, do you think that if you put a cloak on me, others won't know that you kidnapped your sister-in-law?"

The tone is getting heavier.

Chu Hechao's thin lips curled up, "This is exactly the result I want."

Yuan Li's anger stagnated, and he asked sharply, "What do you mean?"

Chu Hechao pulled his lips and smiled, the meaning was unclear.

Yuan Li looked at his strong jaw, and gradually frowned.

When Chu Hechao tested him earlier, it was at least for the sake of his soldiers, which was understandable, and Yuan Li would not be angry because of it.But at this moment, he knew that he had to get angry once, once.

Chu Mingfeng was gone, and Chu Hechao dared to take him away in broad daylight in front of the King of Chu and the Yang family, which showed that the King of Chu and the Yang family could not suppress Chu Hechao either.If Yuanli can't suppress Chu Hechao, how will they cooperate in the future?Can he still have the right to speak in Chu Hechao's army?

Yuan Li knew that if he wanted to use his status as "sister-in-law" to suppress Chu Hechao, he had to have prestige in front of Chu Hechao.He needs to make Chu Hechao listen to him seriously, treat him with respect, and treat him like an elder brother, instead of making such a strange move but not saying a word to him.

Yuanli has a lot of experience in establishing a sufficient prestige for a well-trained and well-trained son of heaven.

Yuan Li didn't say anything more, he directly opened Chu Hechao's arm, turned around quickly, straddled the horse's back with his long legs, and changed from sitting sideways to straddling the horse with his legs apart in a neat and easy way.

He patted the horse's mane, feeling sorry for you.

As soon as this sentence was finished, Yuan Li immediately gathered his strength and elbowed back unexpectedly, and his other hand was as fast as lightning to grab the rein in Chu Hechao's hand.

But his elbow was blocked by Chu Hechao's palm, Chu Hechao still firmly grasped the reins, and snorted at the top of Yuanli's head.

Yuan Li went on with the next attack extremely calmly, and fought fist-to-fist with Chu Hechao on the horse.

Chu Hechao was once thrown over his shoulder by him. He knew that Yuanli should not be underestimated, and also knew that Yuanli's weakness was strength, and he was good at winning with ingenuity, so he did the opposite and suppressed him with strong and arrogant strength. Yuanli's resistance.

Yuanli's strength is naturally at a disadvantage compared to the generals who have been galloping on the battlefield for a long time.Immediately the space is too limited, Yuanli has repeatedly fought and failed.But he was indomitable, defeated repeatedly, kept his lips straight, and almost broke free several times to gain control of the reins.It made the war horse under his crotch restless, and almost fell to the ground several times.

"That's enough." Chu Hechao grabbed Yuan Li's hands suddenly, and wrapped him in his arms forcefully, with a slight threat, "Sister-in-law, calm down."

At this time, Yang Zhongfa had already walked out of Luoyang City, and Yang Zhongfa behind him took advantage of their delay to catch up with him. When he saw the posture of the two of them, he was stunned for a moment, and he directly said what was in his heart, "Hey, General , are you bullying sister-in-law?"

Chu Hechao didn't dare to let go of Yuanli. Although he said it easily, he was still sweating when he restrained Yuanli.Chu Hechao frowned impatiently with his thick eyebrows, and glanced at Yang Zhongfa, "I'm going to cause a little trouble for those who are chasing me, and stay away."

Yang Zhong nodded understandingly, pulled his horse and turned to leave.

Yuan Li was silent, but his legs kicked Chu Hechao's legs violently while Chu Hechao and Yang Zhongfa were talking.

Chu Hechao's face turned slightly blue from the pain, and with a movement of his legs, Yuan Li's two ankles were firmly pressed against the inside of the boots.He restrained Yuanli even harder, and Yuanli no longer had any room to move.

The boy's whole body was covered by Chu Hechao. His young and vigorous body was tightly compressed, like a young leopard being cornered. His figure was beautiful and slender, full of tough and thin strength.Chu Hechao's breathing was slightly rapid, but his voice was very steady, "Sister-in-law, why don't you listen to me?"

There are few people outside Luoyang City, and the leaves are whirling.The yellow sand rose all over the sky, covering people's faces with dust.

Yuanli recognized this road, which was the road leading to Tunqi camp.Chu Hechao's men, horses and food were placed outside the camp.

Yuan Li was also sweating from the toss, and his breathing became heavier.Hearing this, he asked angrily with a smile: "The general took me away just to say a few words? What can't be said in Chu Palace!"

Seeing that he was no longer struggling, Chu Hechao cautiously let go of his arm, and said indifferently: "If you don't do this, how can I let you go to Youzhou with me in a reasonable way."

"..." Yuan Li felt as if he had heard it wrong, and he asked repeatedly, "Going to Youzhou with you?"

Chu Hechao was extremely patient, "Could it be that sister-in-law doesn't want to go to Youzhou?"

Yuanli: "..."

Even Yuan Li, who is of excellent quality, couldn't help but swear in his heart.

Of course he wants to!

If he had said this to him a few days ago when he had just learned that Chu Hechao was leaving, Yuanli would have left with Chu Hechao happily.But at this moment, he has reversed his mood, determined his goals for the past two years, and made a series of plans to be done after staying in Luoyang-at this time, Chu Hechao wants him to go to Youzhou together?

You are fucking sick!

Yuan Li clenched his fists, his fingers creaked, and took several deep breaths to calm down.

Chu Hechao looked up at the yellow sand and the old trees with intertwined roots by the roadside, and his tone suddenly became very respectful, "Sister-in-law, younger brother should ask you for a crime. I shouldn't have kidnapped you so directly, but sister-in-law is so big. Cai, wouldn't it be a waste of time to stay in Luoyang for nothing?"

Yuan Li said coldly, "The general's words are ridiculous. Guozi School is famous far and wide, and there are countless talented people. It can't be called a waste of time."

"Sister-in-law should have noticed that something big is about to happen in the world," Chu Hechao lowered his body, approached with his cold armor, and whispered in Yuan Li's ear as if speaking a secret, "Otherwise, sister-in-law wouldn't have sent a group of A group of people went to Ruyang, making Ruyang Yuan Mansion wary."

Yuanli's scalp tightened, did Chu Hechao know?

He relaxed quickly and slowly.

Although Chu Hechao didn't care about the affairs of the Chu Palace, as a well-known general in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he naturally did not lack this insight.

What Chu Hechao said at this time was another form of affirmation of Yuanli's guess.

Chu Hechao complimented again: "Sister-in-law has great ambitions, and she is also a genius. She can understand the affairs of the military camp at the top, and can manage the logistics and make calculations at the bottom. In this regard, sister-in-law can already be called everyone. There is still something to learn from Ouyang Ting as a teacher, but if you spend two or three years in Guozixue just to make friends with those boys who haven't accomplished anything yet, isn't it a waste of time?"

When Chu Hechao could speak, he really spoke in a way that made people feel at ease, and flattered people with a smile.Yuan Li's tone could not help but slow down, and patiently said to Chu Hechao: "I have not yet established a crown, and I am not old enough to be an official. Even if I go to Youzhou with you at this time, those powerful gentry will not give up I put it in my eyes. Without the name of orthodoxy, those people will not obey my management. Now it is the best choice to stay in Guozixue to grind their qualifications. The doctors in Guozixue are all knowledgeable. Even if I stay for two years In three years, I can’t learn one or two tenths of the PhDs.”

Those who can be officials are all scholars.

Those who have the power to compete in the Central Plains and seize the world in troubled times are also powerful scholars.In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, only one who was born in a filial piety would be considered eligible to be on the political stage.

Even Yuanli is a humble scholar.But if there is no orthodox Ju Xiaolian background, others will not agree with Yuan Li.

They will think, you are not even filial, are you a filial person, are you a talented person, are you a person worth following?

After Cao Cao was an eunuch, his background was tainted.He worked so hard to find a relationship, so Xu Shao commented on him, "A capable minister in a troubled world, a traitor in a troubled world", isn't it because he wants to be born in a filial piety, to be orthodox?

If it's just a matter of background, Yuanli doesn't care.But if others do not agree with him, they will think that he is not worthy of being followed, will not come to Yuanli, and think that he is not qualified to stand side by side with others in troubled times.

If things go on like this, even if Yuanli can recruit troops and use logistics to involve Chu Hechao's army, he is just an unknown person.His name is not right and his words are not right, and he can't build his own team at all.

Occasionally, Yuanli also thought about it, wouldn't it be good to be an anonymous person?

Isn't his goal just to gain a firm foothold in the troubled times and save as many people as possible?

If that's the case, he doesn't need to waste time and painstaking efforts to walk the orthodox path in the eyes of everyone in this era. He just needs to play his remaining heat in an orderly manner and hide his name behind Chu Hechao.

but……

Yuan Li put his hand on his chest.

The heart in the chest was beating powerfully, one sound after another, clear and loud.

Why does he feel so reconciled?

Yuanli was at a loss.

Does he want more than being an anonymous person?

Chu Hechao heard the meaning of his words, and thoughtfully said: "Sister-in-law stays in Luoyang, does she want to promote Xiaolian to be an official?"

Yuanli came back to his senses, he nodded slightly, "The teacher asked me to stay in Luoyang for two years, to make more fame and make more connections, and after two years he will honor me as a filial piety."

"When you become crowned, you should have a filial family background. Even in troubled times, orthodoxy is very important," Chu Hechao said indifferently, "Ouyang Ting really cares about you. If the world is in chaos, Luoyang will not be in chaos." , you can still stay in Luoyang. It's just sister-in-law, have you forgotten one thing?"

"Whether it's my father, me, or Yang Zhongfa, or even any general in northern Xinjiang," Chu Hechao changed his subject, "I can all serve you as a filial and honest official, so that you can obtain an orthodox background."

Yuanli's eyes widened suddenly.

He immediately turned his head and looked at Chu Hechao in disbelief.

……yes.

Chu Hechao continued: "Even if you are in the northern border, you can still get an official position recognized by the court. Don't forget that Youzhou is the fiefdom of the Chu Palace."

He looked down at Yuanli, and smiled jokingly, "All the officials in Youzhou can be appointed and dismissed by my father or myself. They are just from a filial family background, and it will be good to hand them over to the court when the time comes. As you The eldest son and wife of the Prince of Chu's mansion can manage Youzhou as the master before the crown is established. Once the crown becomes an adult, I will make you the governor of Youzhou. My sister-in-law and I are a family. You let me have no worries at the back. Wouldn't fighting and killing the enemy ahead be more beautiful than staying in Luoyang?"

Chu Hechao is willing to abide by Chu Mingfeng's last words, but he disagrees with Chu Mingfeng's views on Yuanli.

Chu Mingfeng didn't have much contact with Yuanli, and he didn't understand the value of Yuanli enough.

But Chu Hechao understood that Yuanli was a rare talent, whether it was the novelties in the farm, the sand table, his own ability, or the confidence to provide logistical support for the 13 troops.

It would be a waste for such a talent to let him stay in Luoyang for two years.

Yuan Li swallowed lightly.

...Yes, it can still be like this.

He completely forgot that he was already a member of Chu Palace and could manage Youzhou in a legitimate manner.He forgot that King Chu and Chu Hechao are both the masters of Youzhou, and they can completely control the appointment and removal of officials in Youzhou!

The dense fog that covered Yuan Li's heart was suddenly pushed away by a big palm, Yuan Li seemed to be hit head-on, and was completely awakened.

Yes, why didn't he think of it?

What was he thinking about so much before?

Yuan Li rubbed the center of his brows vigorously, and reluctantly questioned, "Even if you say so, I can't go to Youzhou right now, I haven't had time to prepare anything..."

"Then get ready today," General Chu's resolute martial style was fully exposed, he said, "Sister-in-law's days in Luoyang are short, and there must be nothing worth arranging in Luoyang. We will pass through Ruyang County, and my sister-in-law's roots are all in Ruyang County, so all the things to be prepared should be in Ruyang County."

As he spoke, he pulled his lips, "I just happened to see what my sister-in-law prepared for me."

Yuan Li couldn't refute, and struggled again, "You kidnap me in public, the King of Chu and his wife will definitely send people to chase after you, you—"

"I left a letter for my father," Chu Hechao said indifferently, "Chu Mingfeng was buried not long ago, so I can only take you away by doing this. I don't want to stay in Luoyang for a long time, so I will wrong my sister-in-law and be 'forced to humiliate' for now." It's over."

Yuanli had absolutely no reason to refute.

After a while, Yuan Li lowered his head and laughed silently.

Although the incident happened suddenly, Yuan Li looked directly into his heart calmly, did he really not want to go to Youzhou?

He really didn't want to go to the undeveloped Youzhou right away, gearing up to make a big effort to turn the barren and desolate land in the eyes of the people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty into a rich and happy place, and a big granary that can supply soldiers with rations?

Yuan Li didn't want to rule the whole state with his age, and return to that familiar yet unfamiliar battlefield?

he thinks.

Want it so so much.

Now that you think about it, why should you pursue whether it is hasty or not?

But even if he thought in his heart, he couldn't agree to Chu Hechao so easily.

He needed to make Chu Hechao listen to him, he had to ask Chu Hechao himself, he was used to being careful with him, he understood that Yuanli was a precious talent, and he needed to make concessions to him.

Yuanli remained silent.

Chu Hechao was very sure, but as time passed, he became a little uncertain.With his head down, he could only see Yuan Li's black hair and clear white ears.

"Sister-in-law?" Chu Hechao urged.

Like a tortoise that took a few steps forward after being pushed, Yuanli said slowly, "General, forget it. You can do something to kidnap me today, in case I offend you in Youzhou someday." you……"

His words came to an abrupt end.

Chu Hechao was quite upset.

He couldn't see Yuan Li's expression clearly, so he bent his strong back, and looked inquiringly at the shadow cast.

The young man's half face was close to his eyes, the corners of his lips were pursed tightly, and his eyelashes were drooping, showing no sign of wavering.

Chu Hechao took a deep breath, leaned down even more, and a man's breath came to his nostrils.

Yuan Li heard Chu Hechao's deep voice, which seemed to be gnashing his teeth in his ear: "Sister-in-law, I beg you."

Yuan Li's eyes curled up, and he said slowly: "Okay, then I promise the general!"
