Chapter 49: Juhu's Hatred

In the afternoon, Jinwu Xiluo, Yuan Xi took Gao Lan, Hu Niuer, Liu Quan, and Li Yong who had just accepted it finally arrived at the gate of Yecheng. He saw white sails hanging from the high city wall, and white cloths were tied on the heads of the soldiers, and a sad aura immediately rushed towards him.

"Young Master, are we going to the house directly?" Gao Lan's face looked a little ugly and sad when he saw this scene. He was completely disappointed with Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan. In his opinion, only these two people had the motivation to kill Jianshu. In order to establish his prestige, he actually cut off his arm in the north, which really made him angry. At the same time, he gradually turned from dissatisfaction to a slight disdain for Yuan Shao. A lord who was so unfair to reward and punish such an unjust and in order to protect his son, he would rather let his important officials die unjustly. At this moment, his heart was completely devoted to Yuan Xi.

However, Yuan Xi did not pay attention to these things now. After hearing Gao Lan's question, he immediately stopped his horse's head and whispered: "No! Take Li Yong back to the mansion first. If I go together, I will definitely be gossiped by some people. After you arrange Li Yong, see if General Zhang He has gone. You can go with him."

"Yes, please don't worry, my son. The last general will definitely let Brother Zhang He surrender to his subordinates," Gao Lan quickly promised.

Yuan Xi's eyes were fixed and he waved his hand: "Jingzhi, you can't be anxious in everything, you need patience. General Zhang He is different from you. You and I have been intimate with each other for a long time, and we appreciate each other. General Zhang He doesn't know me well enough. You just need to make friends with him and help each other for the time being. After the time comes, it will naturally come naturally. Remember not to force it."

A hint of admiration flashed in Gao Lan's eyes.

Yuan Xi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then I'll leave first."

After saying that, he waved his whip heavily and took Hu Niuer, Liu Quan and the soldiers of the personal guard camp toward Ju Su's mansion first.

Gao Lan stopped in place, turned to look at Li Yong, who looked a little nervous, and smiled and said, "Secretary Li, we will probably have to be together for a long time in the future. I hope you don't care about Ling's rudeness. Let's have a good talk about the establishment of the Wei County Military Division tonight."

A trace of excitement flashed across Li Yong's face. He was a declining scholar, and now he could be on par with a general like Gao Lan. However, he knew in his heart that all this was only temporary. If he did not perform well this time, Yuan Xi would immediately knock him back to his original form and even directly erase it.

"General Gao, you are too polite. You are an unparalleled general and the arm of a young master. Yongruo did something wrong. You can point out that the system of the military department was not perfect enough and needed the general's guidance at any time." Li Yong quickly said modestly. Although Gao Lan spoke politely, he could not be proud. At present, in Yuan Xi's heart, he could not be as good as Gao Lan's finger. Perhaps only by forming the military department of Wei County can he truly become a major official of Yuan Xi.

Gao Lan smiled with appreciation, his attitude satisfied him, "Okay, let's go."

Li Yong nodded, and the two immediately rode their war horses and rushed into the city gate with a group of soldiers.

When Yuan Xi took Hu Niuer and Liu Quan to the front of the door of the Bianjia Mansion, he saw white sails everywhere, and bursts of crying sounds kept coming from it. The open door seemed a little empty except for a housekeeper and a few slaves. It seemed that no Yecheng officials had come to worship, and a despair filled the air.

After the butler guarding in front of the mansion saw Yuan Xi, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes and hurriedly said, "Meet the Second Young Master."

After Yuan Xi dismounted, he whispered: "Have my father been here?"

The housekeeper shook his head and replied, "Not yet. I heard that the lord is uncomfortable and he has to come later."

Yuan Xi frowned, "What about other civil and military officials?"

"No, maybe I will be with my lord," the housekeeper said sadly. Once upon a time, how prosperous the other house was, there must be no less than ten officials coming in and out every day, but now none of them dares to come here in advance.

"Has Lord Tian Feng not come?" Yuan Xi said in confusion.

"Mr. Tian Feng has not been released yet," said the housekeeper.

Yuan Xi nodded and hurriedly walked inside. The butler immediately shouted: "Second Young Master, here!!"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly looked back unexpectedly, and it was obvious that Yuan Xi was the first to come over.

After Yuan Xi entered the mansion, a huge black coffin immediately appeared in front of him, lying quietly in the center of the hall, Ju Su's wife, concubine, and Ju Hu were kneeling there.

After seeing Yuan Xi arrive, Ju Hu immediately rushed over with tears in his eyes, and knelt in front of Yuan Xi, shouting: "Second Young Master, you finally come back, my father is so unjust!"

Yuan Xi's eyes were fixed and he said, "What the hell is going on? Xi just went to the military camp to recruit soldiers for a few days. How could he be assassinated by Lord Jianshu?"

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. I should always protect my father so that I won't give the other two young men a chance." Ju Hu cried even more violently, and there was a strong sense of hatred in his words.

"Wu'er, stop." Hearing this, an old woman with white hair and crutches slowly walked over with the help of Ju Shu's wife and concubine. Although her eyes were red and swollen, her pale face still had a hint of majesty.

"Grandmother!" Ju Hu turned his head unwillingly and shouted.

"Your father was killed by enemy spies. Don't talk nonsense. Do you want to kill my family?" The old woman knocked on her crutch in a very popular way.

A surprise flashed across Yuan Xi's face. This old woman was really a smart person. She was killed and could still be so calm. Indeed, once Ju Su died, the entire Ju family had no capital to resist.

Yuan Xi looked at the old woman in front of him and respectfully said, "Xi greets the old lady. My Yuan family is also very regretful for the death of Lord Ju Su, but please rest assured, my father will definitely give the Jian family an explanation."

"Thank you, the second son, I believe in the lord," the old woman said softly.

Hearing this, Ju Hu couldn't help but clenched his fists. Not only did he not dissipate, but his hatred eyes became stronger. No one would believe that he would no longer believe Yuan Shao. If he really knew how to give an explanation, he would not investigate. What kind of enemy spies is simply nonsense. Fortunately, his father was so loyal to him. He did not have the father's way of handling government affairs, preparing food and grass, recommending talents, and stabilizing the rear. How could Yuan Shao unify the north? Now for his son, he was so partial. He never expected Yuan Shao to kill his two sons, but he had to be severely punished! But now, the two young men were still sitting at home with swagger.

He hated Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's viciousness, but he hated Yuan Shao's biasedness even more. He must take revenge!!

"Young Master, let the second young master burn incense first!" The butler who was staring at Ju Hu, immediately shouted with concern. Now that Ju Su died, the Ju family might have to fight against the two powerful young masters, even this mansion would be abandoned.

Ju Hu's eyes froze, and tears were wiped. A trace of determination suddenly flashed across his face, and he said respectfully: "Second Young Master, please!!"

Yuan Xi looked at it and was surprised to find that Ju Hu's loyalty to him jumped to 89. After nodding slightly, he took the incense and candle from the butler. With the company of the Ju family, he came to the hall. Looking at the black coffin, holding the incense and candle in his hand, he said loudly: "Mr. Ju, Xi is late. You are a genius. In ancient times, Xiao He, the first minister of the Yuan family, has made countless contributions to the great cause of my Yuan family. Without you, there would be no unification of the north. Xi admires you very much, but it is not as expected that you will be assassinated by others. This is the pain of my father and the damage of the great cause of the north. But please rest assured, my father will not let go of those who assassinate you, and you will rest with peace of mind!"

After saying that, Yuan Xi knelt on the ground under the surprised and moved eyes of everyone and kowtowed gently. This head was his sincere expression. Although no one knew that he had killed Jianshu, he knew in his heart that a talented man and a loyal minister had fallen into his hands.
