The weather in late April was already very warm. The sun shone through the window lattice into the room, with a hint of laziness.

Sima Yi was lying on the bed, listening quietly to the movement outside, feeling a little nervous. I wonder if Mr. Yuan would notice that one of the brothers who came out to welcome him was missing? While he was tossing and thinking, suddenly noisy footsteps and talking sounds sounded in the yard. He hurriedly covered the cloth towel on his forehead, closed his eyes and pretended to be seriously ill.

With a creaking sound, the door was pushed open. Sima Lang walked into the house first and called out to the bed: "Zhongda, Yuan Xianyong, the fourth son of the Yuan family, is here to see you!"

Sima Yi opened his eyes in a daze, twisted his neck, and said sleepyly: "Where is Mr. Yuan?"

"Which other Duke Yuan? Of course, he is the fourth generation and the third Duke, and the world-famous Master Yuan Xiahui Shao!" Sima Lang said cautiously, not daring to call Yuan Shao's name directly, but he was very angry and thought to himself, you naughty kid pretending to me? If you cause trouble, see how I deal with you!

Yuan Mai followed Sima Lang closely, his eyes as lightning. Just as the two brothers were talking, he looked at Sima Yi. The first thing he noticed was that his neck was indeed very long. Although it was not as exaggerated as mentioned in the unofficial history, it was obviously longer than the neck of an ordinary person.

His face was a little thin, with clear eyebrows, high nose bridge, and a hint of elegance in his eyebrows. At first glance, he looked like a weak scholar, not like the hero who combines wisdom, talent, treacherous, cunning and strategy recorded in history books.

"That's right, if he had a domineering face, I'm afraid the Sima family wouldn't have found a bargain in the end. Even if a traitor Cao Mengde didn't deal with him, Cao Pi wouldn't let him become a big shot. Even when Cao Cao's grandson Cao Rui was alive, Sima Yi wouldn't dare to make trouble. I guess this guy was hiding the truth with this weak scholar's appearance and gradually took control of the power!"

Yuan Mai muttered in his heart, then stood behind and watched Sima Yi's performance. I want to see how Zhongda sang this drama?

"Oh... it's the young master of Mr. Yuan's family. I've been ill these days... Cough cough..." Sima Yi twisted his head and talked to his brother in a weak voice, but he quickly thought about the countermeasures in his heart.

Sima Yi was still very unfamiliar with Yuan Mai's name. Before that, he only knew Yuan Shao's other three sons; the eldest son Yuan Tan was appointed as the governor of Qingzhou, the second son Yuan Xi and the high-ranking cadre used troops in Bingzhou, and the third son Yuan Shang was the most favored and stayed in Jizhou to control the troops. It was only in recent months that Yuan Mai had gained a little fame. But it was not very famous. Although in the battle of Shangdang, Yuan Mai shot and killed the Xiongnu Chanyu. However, the news in this era was closed and this matter had not been widely circulated among the people, so Sima Yi did not know about this.

"Since the fourth son of Yuan Shao came, I can't agree to him as an official. His brothers are already full of strength, and if they follow him, they will almost be dead! Besides, Yuan Shao is generous on the outside and dare not make decisions, and has no ambitions. He may not be able to achieve hegemony. I'd better continue to work hard at home and observe the general trend of the world!"

Making up his mind, Sima Yi looked at Yuan Mai with a ill look and said in an extremely difficult tone: "Young Master is here, and the Sima family is full of glory. I should have welcomed Da Qiao, but who expected... I suddenly suffered from wind numbness a few days ago, and my limbs were unable to move, and I was unable to get sick. I couldn't welcome the young master. I am really ashamed. I hope my master will forgive me for his crime!"

Seeing Sima Yi pretending to be a bit terminally ill, Yuan Mai thought to himself, you are really an acting person. Fortunately, I come from two thousand years later and are familiar with your glorious deeds. You can deceive others but you can't deceive me. Since you like acting, I won't expose you anymore. I will just watch you continue acting until you have enough. Is this the Three Kingdoms version of "Is it difficult to dismantle"?

Sima Lang stood aside, afraid that Yuan Mai would not believe it, so he added: "I am really sick and fallen. My younger brother was able to study and practice swords with his brothers a few days ago. In just a few days, he couldn't get out of bed."

"Zhongda, I have heard that you are knowledgeable and talented, and you are well-read in poetry and books. Talents like you must take care of themselves." Yuan Mai stood in front of the bed, reached out and patted Sima Yi on the shoulder, looking concerned.

"Thank you for your care. Yi must take good care of the disease and try to get out of bed as soon as possible." Sima Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that he had hidden it.

Yuan Mai decided to test his bottom line first and asked with a smile: "Fang is in chaos today, and it is the time when heroes use their skills. Our army lacks talents. I wonder if Zhongda intends to become an official?"

"If the second brother is willing to become an official, I don't know what position the young master intends to be appointed?" Sima Fu, who was standing behind, couldn't help but ask suddenly.

Yuan Maixiao replied: "If Zhongda is willing to become an official, even the entire Hanoi county can be handed over to him!"

It is best not to worry about whether others accept it or not, to lift up his appetite in front of Sima Yi. If he is moved and willing to serve himself in office, he will save himself trouble.

After thinking about this, Yuan Mai opened his mouth and gave up the position of prefect of Hanoi. In fact, Yuan Mai also knew that even if Sima Yi agreed, this matter would not be passed by his father. Young Confucian scholars were given the position of prefect as soon as they first became officials. Even the people under his command would not be convinced, but they just used it as bait for fishing!

The people in the room looked surprised, Sima Yi was a little shocked and moved. Then he thought, although you are Yuan Shao's son, you don't have real power. What qualifications do you have to make me the prefect? ​​I guess 80% are cheating me into office, so I won't be fooled!

Besides, the situation is now confronting the princes, and the situation is unpredictable. How much benefit will it be even if they are a prefect? ​​Then isn’t Zhang Yang the prefect of Hanoi? In the end, he let his subordinates cut their heads and presented them to Cao Mengde. I can’t see the future trend clearly, so I must not rashly join any force.

"Yi is sick and I don't know when I will get out of bed. Although I am willing, I am powerless! What's more, my condition is really serious. A doctor diagnosed me in the previous episode, saying that if I had good care, it would take a year or two. If I was not well care, I was afraid that I would not get out of bed for only three or five years! I am really ashamed of having to let down my son's expectations. Besides, Yi is a fool. Although he is literate, he knows little. A scholar has no power to tie a chicken. Even if he recovers from the illness, he dares not accept the son, for fear of delaying his son's career. There are many talents in Hanoi, so I ask the son to find another talent."

Sima Yi's words were straightforward, and basically blocked the way for Yuan Mai to serve Yuan Mai. Yuan Mai couldn't help but feel annoyed. This guy was really stubborn. No wonder Cao Cao wanted to kidnap him to Xuchang by force. It seems that this guy is a kind of hard or soft one. Since that's the case, I'm not polite!

Yuan Mai made up his mind and turned his head to look outside. He found that Zhou Cang was waiting for his appointment outside the door. He said aloud: "This doctor must be a quack doctor. There is a doctor in our army who is the apprentice of the miracle doctor Hua Tuo. He can often rejuvenate his youth. Since Zhongda unfortunately suffered from a serious illness, I will take you back to treat it!"

After saying that, before Sima Yi said anything, he shouted outside the door: "Where is Zhou Cang? Carry Mr. Zhongda on his shoulders and take him back to Hanoi for medical treatment!" After saying that, he waved his sleeves and walked out the door.

"promise!"

Zhou Cang agreed, rolled up his sleeves and walked into the room, came to the bed and reached out to grab Sima Yi's arm, pulled it hard, and pulled it up. Sima Yi was shocked. He didn't expect that this young man would have such a trick, but since he pretended so much, he would definitely not be able to say anything if he suddenly got better, so he could only bite the bullet and continue pretending. Let Zhou Cang pull himself out of the quilt and carry it on his shoulders.

Brother Sima was also shocked and didn't know what to do. He could only watch the man like a black tower carrying his second brother on his shoulder and walking outside.

Sima Lang reacted first, ran two steps behind Yuan Mai, begging: "Young master is kind, and we brothers are grateful. But you are busy with everything, how dare you bother your son? You should leave Zhongda and ask us to ask a good doctor to cure him."

"It's okay, I love good talent the most, how can I bear to see Zhongda fall into bed? Although Boda is relieved, when Zhongda's illness is cured, if he is unwilling to become an official, I will send someone to send him back to Wen County." Yuan Mai looked generous and kind, and while talking to Sima Lang, he strode out the door.

After walking a few steps, he reminded him: "When Boda reports to Lord Lingfu, he can come to the Hanoi County City to find me quickly, and he must be given a title." He also said to Sima Fu: "You can pack your bags quickly and go to Heyang to take office. I will send someone to send my seal and ribbon to you today!"

Zhou Cang followed Yuan Mai with Sima Yi on his back. He was burly and powerful. He was slender and slender with his back. However, the thin Sima Yi was effortless and walked with a tremendous and tremendous manner. Sima Yi was already in a difficult position and secretly thought in his heart. Since that is the case, I will follow him to Hanoi first. No matter what doctor he is looking for, I will just pretend to be sick. What can you do to me?

"Don't worry, brother, you're a kind and righteous person. I don't think it's difficult for me." Sima Yi lay obediently on Zhou Cang's shoulder and comforted his brother and brother. In addition, put a high hat on Yuan Mai first so that he could take into account his reputation and not make things difficult for him.

Seeing this, Sima Fu quietly pulled Sima Lang's clothes and whispered: "Brother, don't worry. Judging from the words and deeds of the fourth prince, he is a kind and righteous person. I guess he will not make things difficult for the second brother. Perhaps it is Gu Dao's heart that really wants to treat the second brother. Besides, the second brother is self-righteous and has a good thing to hold his own in the foot. This time he lifted a stone and let him suffer some hardships and suffer some hardships."
