The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 118 Zhao Yun's Three Matters

It was half a month after Yuan Shang talked with Jushou when he came to the prison of Wuji County Yamen again.

It’s still a cold cell, it’s still a dark prison, it’s still the leader of the White Horse Yi Cong who is wrapped in white cloth and covered in whips.
"Brother Zilong~!"

A flattering and slightly coquettish voice sounded in front of the prison door, awakening Zhao Yun who was half asleep.

Zhao Yun felt goosebumps all over his body when he saw Yuan Shang.

"What are you doing? Yuan thief, you want to touch me again?"

Zhao Yun's eyes were very vigilant, a pair of handsome star pupils filled with deep hostility.

"Brother Zilong misunderstood, Yuan Mou just came to tell you something, a very real thing, please listen to it." Yuan Shang's expression was very serious, there was no deception in it, and he hoped that he was sincere. lie.

Zhao Yun shook his head, and said with a flabbergasted look, "What if I don't listen?"

"Then I'll touch you."

"."

After a long while of silence, Zhao Yun finally heard a long sigh and said slowly, "What's the matter? Tell me."

"Gongsun Xu was not killed by me, Yuan Shi!"

Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he sneered, the smile contained deep disdain.

"Thought you were going to say something, but unexpectedly you said this? It's ridiculous! The surname is Yuan! You treat XX as a three-year-old child, and you can deceive him as you like?"

Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "Do you know why I haven't come to see you for half a month? It's because I have been carefully deliberating about Gongsun Xu with my staff!"

Zhao Yun couldn't help narrowing his eyes deeply, staring at Yuan Shang closely, as if trying to figure out the other party's thoughts.

Yuan Shang seemed to be indifferent, but he still said frankly: "In the past few days, we have tortured the rest of the Baimayi Cong under your command. We learned that Gongsun Xu fled westward after the battle of Yijing and went to Yanmen in Bingzhou. He lived in seclusion in this place, trying to succeed, but he didn't want to be assassinated and killed by someone in the hermitage of Yanmen more than a year ago. His condition was very miserable, and his death was very sad. When I found out, only when he was dying, he wrote the word "Yuan" with blood on his robe. As I expected, you vowed to stay in Hebei. It is this desire and revenge. I don't know if what Yuan said is right?"

When the voice fell, the entire prison was completely silent.

Both Zhao Yun and Yuan Shao stared straight at each other, as if they wanted to see some gaps in each other's faces, the atmosphere in the air seemed to freeze, and they fell into an embarrassing deadlock for a while.

A little later, Zhao Yun suddenly heard a sneer, and said in a cold voice: "The facts are in front of you, the eldest son Gongsun is honest by nature, and he wholeheartedly avoided the world. He fled to the border of Bingsai and did not want to dispute with Er Yuan's family, but you have made such a terrific thing." matter, but now they are denying it flatly, what four generations and three princes are really a laughing stock in the world!"

Yuan Shang quietly looked at the angry Zhao Yun, sighed, shook his head and said: "Brother Zilong, you really misunderstood our Yuan family in this matter, and according to the confessions of your soldiers, I specially sent someone to investigate and verify When it was discovered that Gongsun Xu died, our army was marching south to compete with Cao Cao in the Central Plains on the White Horse. At that time, our army leader Yan Liang was killed, and the general Wen Chou was beheaded by Guan Yu. It was the low morale and bitter hatred When I was deep, imagine how my father hated Cao Cao so much, how could he still think about finding someone to deal with such an insignificant person like Gongsun Xu? There must be something strange in it."

Zhao Yunying frowned, thought for a while, and seemed to be shaken.

After a while, he still said: "This matter has been in the past for a long time, and there is no evidence to prove it. Now that you have red teeth and white teeth, don't you want to go away as you say, don't come and scare me."

Yuan Shang shook his head, and said: "Brother Zilong, you must have underestimated our Yuan family. Hebei has a vast territory and a lot of talents. If you want to murder a little Gongsunxu, you should bury and dispose of the body afterwards. When will it happen?" Let him linger on and leave evidence on his clothes? It's pure nonsense! Besides, how did Gongsun Xu know that the people who murdered him were the Yuan family? Could it be that the killer of my Yuan family had to show off his family's name and history before doing it? Don’t you think this is a sick behavior? What’s more, when he was dying, he was encouraged to write a blood book squarely on his clothes with blood. Could it be that Gongsun Xu is a King Kong possessed by an ape? It’s ridiculous!”

Zhao Yun's calm face faintly stirred, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Seeing that Zhao Yun was silent, Yuan Shang did not stop, and took advantage of the momentum to continue to speak, saying: "The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear. You and Gongsun Xu have a very close personal relationship in daily life. The anger is unstoppable, and it is normal to hide the clear light. But it has been such a long time Well, you still can't figure out such a simple plan to put blame on you, so I have to remind you, it's not that my Yuan family is afraid of your revenge, but I'm afraid that you've found the wrong enemy! I don’t want you to be blamed, and I don’t want you to be called an idiot when you meet Gongsun Xu after you die!”

Zhao Yun's complexion tightened, and he replied slightly annoyed: "What you said is decent, but looking at the world, besides your Yuan family, is there anyone who has a sworn feud with the Gongsun family?"

Yuan Shang nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes!"

"Who?"

Yuan Shang took a deep breath slowly, and said, "Northern Xinjiang, foreigners"

Zhao Yun was surprised when he heard this.

He was originally a smart person, but because he had a good relationship with Gongsun Xu when he was in Gongsun Zan's tent, and received great kindness from him, so when he learned of Gongsun Xu's death, he felt sad and ashamed of the Yuan family's extermination. Blindfolded.

However, after being reminded by Yuan Shang today, the things he had originally believed in slowly began to shake in his heart.

When Gongsun Zan was in charge of Youzhou in the past, he had always been tough on the issue of the Hulu and foreigners. He belonged to the hawkish faction of the Han Dynasty, and was deeply tabooed by the Xianbei and the Xiongnu.

But now that the world is in chaos, and the princes are fighting each other, some foreign tribes outside the Great Wall have long been eager to move. The northern border is stable, and it is difficult to find gaps.
It's like a piece of greasy fatty meat is placed in a pot, and it smells delicious, but the person in charge tells you that the pot is boiled with stones, and he is greedy for you but won't let you eat it.

Therefore, for the foreigners in northern Xinjiang, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shi are the two chefs who are in charge of cooking. They hold two kitchen knives and stop them from eating meat.

Although I don't know which tribe did it, but if you look carefully, the results of such provocative actions, whether good or bad, are beneficial to the alien tribes in northern Xinjiang.

Coincidentally, the place where Gongsun Xu lives in hiding is in Yanmen, which is almost full of alien races.
All doubts and coincidences are being smoothed out, although there are still doubts, but gradually they are connected.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun seemed to be at a loss.

"Even if what you say is reasonable, it is impossible to persuade Yu to surrender based on this point! In today's world, apart from Gongsun, there is only one person worthy of Zhao's service. You should kill me."

Yuan Shang smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said, "The person you are talking about is Liu Bei, right?"

Zhao Yun's eyelids twitched slightly, but he didn't reply.

"Brother Zilong, listen to me, although I suspect that a certain barbarian tribe outside the Great Wall was responsible for Gongsun Xu's death, but I always feel that it is not the result of the barbarian's IQ to use this kind of provocation to profit from it." The style it should be, there are Han Chinese instigated behind it, and the plot is not novel, this person is now in Hebei!"

Zhao Yun frowned: "What do you mean?"

"You want to avenge Gongsun Xu, and I want to find out this scum who is secretly sabotaging. Although our two goals are different, we reach the same goal by different routes. Why don't we join forces and find out the whole story of this matter together, and wait for the truth to come out? On that day, I will naturally let you go and vote for Liu Bei, what do you think of this matter?"

Zhao Yun dismissed the words and said, "Why do you think I will help you?"

Yuan Shang straightened his face and said, "Because you were a member of Gongsun Zan's command! Although he is my Yuan family's enemy, I have to admit that he did have amazing feats in dealing with the aliens in northern Xinjiang! Right now the great Han is in ruins, the princes are separatist and ruling the roost, the world is temporarily caught in a long-term attack, but no one can say for sure the time of the attack, it may be ten years, it may be 20 years, it may be 30 years or even 50 years, but no matter how long it is Time, the casualties are all Han Chinese, not the people outside the Great Wall! When our population drops sharply and our national strength is weak, these alien races will attack the land of the Central Plains like a pack of wolves, destroying our crops, taking our gold and silk, burning Our house, robbing our pussy... It's outrageous to think about."

Zhao Yun's face was a little stiff.

Having said that, Yuan Shang shook his head lightly, and sighed: "Among the Han people, there is a certain force that is making friends with other races, intending to do something wrong, killing Gongsun and continuing to blame the Yuan family may not be just one of them. The latter scheme may be bigger! This kind of approach is undoubtedly to lure wolves into the house. If the Gongsun clan is still alive, they will never allow them to do anything wrong. You were a general of the Gongsun clan in the past, so you should know in your heart what to do."

When Zhao Yun heard this, his heart gradually sank.

Nationality, righteousness, Gongsun, Yuan, Liu Bei
Key words circled back and forth in his mind, near and far away, like a mess, making his head confused and painful
Yuan Shang was not in a hurry, he just stood by his bed leisurely, looking leisurely at the roof of the empty cell, as if there was something extremely interesting there, attracting attention.

After three cups of tea, Zhao Yun finally said slowly, "Let me cooperate with you. Yes, you have to promise me three conditions!"

"Let's hear it?" Yuan Shang suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked expressionlessly.

"First, you must track down the culprit behind the murder of the young master, and I will personally kill him. If not, I will kill you!"

Well, if there is no one to kill Gongsun Xu, he must kill me. What kind of logic is this?It was exactly the same as what Lu Lingqi said back then.

The ancients, it is unreasonable to live and die one by one.People who grew up with Confucian parents, why are the bottom line of morality and the concept of right and wrong so fucked up?

"Okay, if there are too many lice, it will not itch, and if there are too many debts, I will not worry about it. I promise you this, and I will let you kill it at will." Yuan Shang was not afraid of breaking the jar.

"Second, once this matter is resolved, I will leave Yuan Jun immediately. At that time, you must keep your promise and not impose obstacles."

Yuan Shang nodded, and said with a smile: "Ask what love is in the world, and teach life and death directly. Brother Xu Zilong and Duke Xuande are indeed a husband and wife with deep affection and love for each other. I admire you for this, righteousness! Go! Let you go !necessary!"

Zhao Yun didn't express the slightest sign of Yuan Shang's weird praise, and said slowly: "Third, except for the battle with the alien race and the murder of the eldest son, other battles related to your Yuan family have nothing to do with a certain rule. Never work for Yuan Shi to kill a person, fight for a while, you need to keep this point in mind."

Yuan Shang's heart tightened when he heard the words, and he said angrily, "Don't kill someone for me, go out for a while? Then I let you here, what's the use of it? Seeing you holding Liu Bei's little straw man Sichun here every day? "

Zhao Yun sneered, closed his eyes and jerked his head aside, without saying a word.

Yuan Shang changed his mind suddenly, weighing the pros and cons of each.

Slowly, a sinister trick that could not be put on the table slowly came to his mind.

"Okay, if you don't go to battle, you won't go to battle, my son promises you!"
