The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 457 Back to Xiapi
"Hahahaha, Yang Song, you can rest assured that I will never forget you at that time. There will be no other candidates for the position of Hanzhong prefect except you." Li Yuan said this deliberately, making Yang Song even more devoted to him.

"General Li will be able to get me when the time comes, just tell me, I will go through fire and water to help you with all my strength." Yang Song also showed his loyalty. In his opinion, Zhang Lu and Li Yuan are really far behind, so he has Take refuge in Li Yuan's intention.

After discussing with Yang Song for a while, Li Yuan left and returned to Xiapi early the next morning. It took more than 50 days to return to Xiapi. This trip to Wuwei was originally estimated to take four months, but it actually took half a year. It took two more months to complete it because of Cao Cao.

After returning to Xiapi, Li Yuan immediately went home to reunite with his family. Cai Wenji, Diao Xiuer, and Xiao Qiao were all very happy to see him back. The four beauties threw themselves into his arms without thinking, and almost gave him a strong man. Overwhelming, but he doesn't dislike the "pressure" of happiness at all, if he can, he would rather bear it every day.

"Husband, why did you come back after leaving for so long? We are all worried about you." Cai Wenji said with a hint of blame. Of course, this was because she was too worried, not because she really blamed Li Yuan.

"I'm worrying everyone. I originally planned to go to Tongguan this time when I went to Wuwei, but I found that Cao Cao had set up an ambush in Tongguan and wanted to arrest me. That's why I turned around and went back through Tongguan. Xiangyang, and then entered Xiliang from Hanzhong, so it took two more months." Li Yuan told his wife and concubine what happened during the trip.

After hearing this, all the beauties felt lucky for Li Yuan. Thanks to Li Yuan who had seen through Cao Cao's trick, otherwise they might never come back again. If Li Yuan fell into Cao Cao's hands, they would not want to live anymore.

Cai Wenji thought more, and said: "Cao Cao is far away in Hebei, and he is worrying about the war in Hebei. Why would he know that my husband is going to Wuwei, and he is going to Tongguan, unless someone informs him." Therefore, he thought about the problem more deeply than Diao Xiu'er and Xiao Qiao.

Hearing this, Li Yuan's eyes shone brightly, and he happily kissed Cai Wenji's small face lightly, and said with a smile: "Wenji is really smart, I have kept this trip a secret, only the important officials under my command know that I am going to Wuwei and Ma Teng Forming an alliance, no matter how powerful Cao Cao is, he would never have predicted that I would take the road of Tongguan, but he has already arranged an ambush in advance, which proves that someone tipped him off."

Cai Wenji was kissed by Li Yuan with an intoxicating blush on her face, she was really pretty, her delicate skin was white and rosy, which made Li Yuan move her index finger, and she blushed and said: "Then there is Cao Cao by my husband's side. spies?"

"Wenji is right. I think I already have Cao Cao's spies by my side. This person is hiding really deeply."

"Does my husband already know who it is?" Seeing Li Yuan's confident eyes, Cai Wenji thought that Li Yuan might have guessed who the spy was.

Li Yuan was about to answer, but Xiao Qiao couldn't help it anymore, she pouted and said: "My husband came back after a long time, don't talk about these business matters anymore, can you stay with us well?"

"Okay, okay, it's wrong for my husband, I'm sorry for my husband." After Li Yuan finished speaking, he kissed Xiao Qiao on the face. After receiving Li Yuan's favor, Xiao Qiao was very happy, and hugged Li Yuan's arm tightly with both hands. Li Yuan's delicate chest was pressed against Li Yuan, making him feel distracted for a while, as expected, Ruanrou is the best.

"Husband, I want it too!" Diao Xiu'er and Da Qiao both pouted their mouths and waited for Li Yuan to kiss. Li Yuan kissed each of the two beauties' faces without hesitation, without partiality.

"Daddy, we also want to." The four children Li Chen, Li Fei, Li Qian and Li Wan hugged Li Yuan's thigh and acted like a spoiled child. Li Yuan hugged two of them in one hand, picked up all four of them, and then kissed each other on their faces. All of a sudden, a few children laughed, and the atmosphere was very joyful.

Li Yuan suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, why did the mansion change location?" When Li Yuan returned to Xiapi, someone had already been waiting at the gate of the city, and he personally took Li Yuan home because the mansion had changed. I was afraid that Li Yuan would not know the location, so I personally picked Li Yuan back.

"Well, it's a long story. Sun Quan made trouble not long after my husband left Xiapi. The original mansion has been burned to ashes. Thanks to Xu Ding and General Zhao for protecting us, otherwise we might never see my husband again." Cai Wenji still has lingering fears when she recalls this incident.

"What, such a serious thing happened?" Li Yuan was taken aback, no wonder even the mansion has changed.

"This matter is of great importance. The military adviser should report to you. Sun Quan and others are temporarily detained in the prison, waiting for your husband's release."

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Well, it's getting late today, and I'll go to the governor's mansion tomorrow to discuss."

Early the next morning, Li Yuan went to the governor's mansion. All the ministers under his command knew that Li Yuan was back, so they waited in the governor's mansion early.

"I haven't seen you in half a year. How are you all?" Li Yuan sat on the main seat, glanced at the people below, and saw that Ma Xian was here, which proved that Xi Zhicai hadn't exposed Ma Xian's identity.

"Thanks to my lord's concern, everything is fine." Everyone clapped their hands and replied.

"But after I came back, I heard some bad news. What happened to Sun Quan's rebellion? Why did he burn my mansion down? Even my wife and children were almost burned to death!" Li Yuan said at the table. Shang slapped his hands heavily, very angry, he rarely gets angry with his subordinates, but this time his family almost lost their lives, how could he not be angry.

"My subordinate is guilty, please punish me!" All the ministers knelt down when they saw Li Yuan getting angry. In fact, they were already mentally prepared, because this incident involved the safety of Li Yuan's family, so they knew that Li Yuan would inevitably get angry.

"Hmph, if you punish and punish, you know how to punish. If Wen Ji and the others are dead, what's the use of punishing you?" Li Yuan looked at Xi Zhicai, "Zhicai, before I leave, I will tell you about the matter of taking the piss." I entrust it all to you, and you tell me in detail what's going on."

"It's the lord." Xi Zhicai came out and explained how Sun Quan attacked the mansion, set fire to the house, and sent people to arrest Cai Wenji and others. Xu Ding led the Tiger Guards to defend them to the death. Zhao Yun single-handedly went in and rescued Cai Wenji and others. , Sun Quan's incident failed and he ran away desperately, and was intercepted by Lu Lingqi's flying cavalry at the north gate, and explained in detail the process.

Xu Zhu, who was standing beside Li Yuan, was relieved when he heard that his brother had done a good job. If Xu Ding failed to protect Cai Wenji and others, he would have no face to stay by Li Yuan's side.
