Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 224
Yuan Xi didn't know what Kong Rong's daughter was thinking, so he cast his eyes on the girl, and found that her big eyes and pink face were very cute.

Under the watchful eyes of Zhen Mi and Kong Shi, the girl yelled and walked steadily forward.

The more Zhen Mi looked at her, the more she liked her, and she said to Yuan Xi: "It would be great if my concubine had such a daughter."

Yuan Xi said warmly: "There is no rush, the future will last forever, there will always be."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Mi blushed and leaned on Yuan Xi's shoulder unconsciously.

Mrs. Wu watched from the side, and a feeling of envy suddenly surged in her heart.

Although her deceased husband, Sun Jian, was extremely brave on the battlefield, between him and herself, he was only slightly better than strangers.

As for the harmony of the piano and the music, the warmth of the couple's heart, Mrs. Wu has never felt it for so many years.

Yuan Xi squatted on the ground, teased the girl with Zhen Mi for a while, then got up and said, "You guys do your work first, I'll talk to Zhao Ji about something, and I'm going out of town after dinner."

After hearing this, Zhen Mi worried, "There's no danger outside, right?"

Yuan said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen if I'm with Ziyi."

Only then did Zhen Mi feel relieved.

At this time, there was a house in the corner, and an eye was peeping through the gap in the window, watching the scene of people talking in the yard.

This is Liu Bei's eldest daughter. Seeing all the girls outside having fun, she couldn't help feeling envious, she turned to Mrs. Liu and said, "Mum, you've been here for a few days, why don't we go out?"

Mrs. Liu Bei put her arms around her young second daughter, and said disdainfully: "What is there to talk about with those people, they are all daughters of rich and noble families, what background do we have, can we mix together?"

After hearing this, Liu Bei's eldest daughter was puzzled and said, "Father is also the lord of a state, why is it different from them?"

"I think Mr. Yuan, who saved our family, doesn't look like a bad guy, and he doesn't have the problems of a nobleman. I heard that he is also very good at fighting."

Mrs. Liu Bei sneered and said: "We dare not forget the kindness of saving our lives. We must find a way to repay the favor."

"But look at his wives and concubines, how is it different from your father?"

"My father took Gan as his concubine. He was obsessed with women and ignored our three mothers. When we became prisoners, he actually tried to marry a girl from the Mi family in Haixi?"

"I think the three of us have become a thorn in your father's side. I'm afraid he doesn't want us to go back."

Liu Bei's eldest daughter heard this, bit her lip and said, "Father is not that kind of person."

"Father is getting old, and there are no males so far. It will be very troublesome to inherit the family business in the future."

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu Bei said angrily, "You child, your brain will become smarter at this time!"

"Are you saying that your mother can't give birth to a boy!"

"Be careful and I will let you marry when you go back!"

Liu Bei's eldest daughter shrank back in fright, and said angrily, "My mother is so fierce, no wonder my father didn't come to see my mother."

Mrs. Liu Bei became even more angry when she heard this, "When I married your father, the families on both sides were poor, so they had to weave straw sandals for a living."

"Sometimes when your father goes to meet those cronies, I can only go to the street to sell straw sandals. If I have no temper, I will be bullied to death!"

"Let me tell you, if a woman is like those gentry women outside, who only know how to live by men, she may be abandoned one day and starve to death!"

"I'm not afraid of your father now. Anyway, I'm ugly. If he wants to find a woman, he will find it. At worst, I'll go back to my hometown and weave straw sandals!"

"And you, don't think about marrying a scholar all day long, it's not useful, you might as well marry an honest man!"

"You're about to get married, so I'll keep an eye on it for you. The kind who has a lot of women around, fools around with friends all day long, and has a slippery mouth. It won't work!"

Liu Bei's eldest daughter couldn't help covering her ears when she heard her mother's rambling, and shouted: "I understand, mother, don't talk about it."

Over there, Yuan Xi went into the study to find Zhaoji, and when he entered the door, he found that not only Cao Xian was present, but Mrs. Kong Rong was also sitting at the table writing something.

Yuan Xi saluted and said, "I have seen Madam."

Cai Zhaoji smiled and said, "I just met you. I just happened to have some questions about Wen Jugong's classics, and it's not easy to ask them directly, so I had to invite my wife to trouble me."

Mrs. Kong Rong said with a smile: "Where, Zhaoji's ambition to compile the book of enlightenment is because of her achievements in the present age, which will benefit the future. How can I not help with such ambitions."

When she said this, she said to Yuan Xi with reproach: "You are so rude!"

"Zhaoji is the daughter of a great Confucian. She is the most talented among us women. You let her do so many troublesome things, and you use her as a concubine and maidservant, it is too much!"

Yuan Xixin thought that at night, he would do even more excessive things to Zhao Ji.

He hurriedly said with a smile: "Madam, calm down, Zhao Ji's status is also very embarrassing for me, but I don't want to let her go, so I can only keep her by my side with the cheek."

Cai Yan and Cao Xian laughed out loud when they heard this, Madam Kong Rong said contemptuously: "Listen, is this a human language!"

Maybe it was because Yuan Xi saved her mother and daughter twice, Mrs. Kong Rong didn't notice, she and Yuan Xi talked a lot more casually,

At this time, a thought suddenly came to her mind, it's a pity that young people of this outstanding age are rare, if her daughter can be born a few years earlier, she may not have the opportunity to marry this person, she should be better than the Yang family's children, right?
But now it's over. Mrs. Kong Rong has inquired about the situation of the women around Yuan Xi in the past few days, and found that none of these women are ordinary people.

Not to mention Cai Zhaoji and Cao Xian, the main wife Zhen is also very thoughtful, the merit is not only her appearance, she can willingly give up her reputation, be kicked out of the house, and then recognize her and let her widow be her adoptive mother. Not ordinary.

Yuan Xi looked out the window and said, "I'll go to the barracks later, so I won't eat with you."

"In order to prevent any accidents in the city, I arranged for Sun Li to protect you. Whenever there is an emergency, you all follow his arrangements."

After hearing this, Cai Yan asked worriedly, "My lord is going to be in danger again?"

"What if there are enemy troops lurking nearby?"

Yuan Xi heard this, and said, "That's right, Ziyi and I won't go far, we'll go back after we turn around."

After hearing this, the girls felt at ease.

Yuan Xi went out of the house, gave Zhen Mi a few more instructions, and then went to see Tai Shici to transfer troops to the barracks.

On the way, Tai Shi said kindly: "These few days, Qiao Rui has been wanting to see the young master."

Yuan Xi heard this and said, "He wants to surrender?"

Tai Shici said: "No, he said that Sun Ce is an outstanding person in the world, and he wanted to persuade the young master not to make enemies with him, so as not to find his own death."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi smiled and said, "It seems that Qiao Rui appreciates Sun Ce very much, so I'll just leave him alone. If Sun Ce appreciates him so much, I will naturally offer him a condition to exchange him back."

After hearing this, Tai Shici smiled and said, "That's true, but Sun Ce has made a great name in the past two years, so there should be real materials. I would like to meet him for a while."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi smiled and said, "It's possible, maybe he's just outside the city."

The two laughed, both thought it was a joke, it had only been five or six days since Guangling was captured, and the other party was rushing day and night, even if the horse was exhausted to death, they might not be able to make it there.

Yuan Xi arrived at the barracks and had dinner with the soldiers, then he and Tai Shici led a hundred cavalry to go out of the city to inspect various places.

Although Yuan Xi said it was relaxed, he was actually a little timid in his heart. He and Tai Shici patrolled around a dozen miles outside the city a few times, and it seemed that the sun would be setting in more than an hour, and there was only one hill left. go up.

Yuan Xi hesitated for a while, and he and Tai Shici rode up the mountain, letting the cavalry under his command disperse and patrol.

The two of them were walking, and they were about to reach the summit, but on the hillside path, a cavalry team of more than ten people bumped out, the leader was a handsome young man.

When Tai Shici saw that the other party was dressed as a hunter, he stepped forward and shouted, "Who are you waiting for?"

He always felt that something was wrong. Why do these people still have horses? Is the Orion in Xuzhou so rich?
Yuan Xi frowned, he always vaguely felt that the scene in front of him seemed familiar?
As a result, the leader on the opposite side laughed loudly, and tore off the burqa on his body, revealing the iron armor inside, "I didn't expect to bump into Yuan Jun's scouts here!"

"Since you're here, don't even think about leaving!"

After hearing this, Tai Shici raised a spear in his hand and said angrily, "What a big tone!"

"You are Sun Ce, and I will let you come and go today!"

As a result, the leading young man laughed loudly, "A certain family is exactly Sun Ce!"

"You don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, today I will show you how powerful a certain family is!"

Hearing this, his subordinates cheered in unison.

When Yuan Xi heard the name Sun Ce, he almost didn't pee on the spot.

He suppressed his panic, and said in his heart that he had an accident, as expected, an accident happened, and he dared to go out of the city without knowing where the confidence came from. Now it's all right, he has become a young general of Dong'a!
He never thought that Sun Ce would appear so close to Guangling City!
How did he come so quickly?
Yuan Xi and Tai Shici didn't expect that after Zhou Yu escaped, he rushed to Tancheng day and night to report the news. Sun Ce set off immediately and led the cavalry to gallop day and night to Guangling.

After several days and nights of rapid marching, many horses died of exhaustion, and many of his subordinates got separated. Fortunately, Sun Ce had agreed on a rendezvous point in advance, and only waited for half of them to arrive before attacking Guangling City at night.

As a result, only a few dozen people arrived in the first group. Seeing that it was still dark, Sun Ce brought people over to investigate, but by chance, they ran into Tai Shici and Yuan Xi.

Seeing that the situation was extremely dangerous, Tai Shici immediately said in a low voice: "My lord, go quickly, I will block it!"

Yuan Xi whispered: "If I run away, Ziyi will definitely fall. The only way to survive now is to go up and challenge Sun Ce one-on-one. I will figure out the rest!"

Tai Shi said kindly that this was the only way to go, he galloped forward and shouted: "Are you the Jiangdong tiger?"

"Do you dare to fight me?"

As soon as these words came out, Sun Ce's subordinates burst into laughter. Someone dared to challenge Sun Ce one-on-one?

After hearing this, Sun Ce laughed, and pointed out the spear in his hand: "Who is coming, tell me the name!"

Tai Shici shouted: "Donglai Taishi Ci!"

When Sun Ce heard it, a light came out from the dark: "I know you!"

"I heard that you made great contributions to beating Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan. Since I met you today, I will fight you!"

After he finished speaking, he shouted loudly, and rushed forward with his horse and gun drawn!
