Cao Xian heard the sound of the tea bowl breaking in the yard and walked out quickly. He was shocked when he saw the coffin in the yard.
When she found out it was Qu Yi's coffin, she felt sad and happy at the same time.
What's sad is that Qu Yi was usually acquainted with people in the mansion, but he didn't expect to die so suddenly. Fortunately, the worst didn't happen, at least Yuan Xi is still alive.
She quickly arranged for the palace guards to find a place outside the city to bury Qu Yi first. As for how to erect a monument, she would have to wait until Yuan Xi came back.
Seeing Ma's distraught appearance, Cao Xian hurriedly helped her back to the house and asked Sun Li's wife to take care of her. Then he sent someone to report the news to Chen Gui.
After all this work, Cao Xian also felt quite tired. He thought that there were only a few people in the mansion, and once something happened, he would be in a hurry. He usually saw that Zhen Mi was very popular as a lady, but in fact, she had many things to worry about. Bar?
Cao Xian suddenly felt a little lonely. Apart from the Ma family, the only people left in the house were the Hou family and Mrs. Du. However, he and they had nothing to say on weekdays.
I don’t know when the young master will be able to come back and take me back to Jicheng to meet my mother, sister, Mrs. Zhen, Zhao Ji...
When Cao Xian was thinking about Yuan Xi's family in Jicheng in Beixin City, the most tired person in the Yuan Mansion in Jicheng was Cai Zhaoji, and Cao Xian felt the same way at a glance.
Now Zhen Mi and Mrs. Wu are both pregnant. A few days before the birth, Hua Tuo rushed to the Black Mountain Military Camp. Although he left behind a recipe for an abortion before leaving, everyone was not sure about the Yuan family's baby, for fear of having to do something about it. Bad things.
So Zhaoji had to call in several apprentices from the Zhonghua Tuo Free School every now and then to take the pulses of Zhen Mi and Mrs. Wu and check their physical conditions to avoid any mistakes.
After these days, Cai Zhaoji was very tired, and things in the free school were also delayed a lot. She couldn't help but feel a little resentful. Yuan Xi was just a hands-off shopkeeper, and left with a slap on the butt, leaving behind a lot of women in the house. Big hearted!
While the girls were slandering Yuan Xi, Yuan Xi, the instigator, took advantage of Lu Bu's departure and took the opportunity to make friends with Lu Bu's family and subordinates in Huaicheng, but with little effect.
He went to see Mrs. Yan but was turned away, and Lu Lingqi couldn't even see him.
When I went to see Chen Gong, Chen Gong said that he was not sick and that he was feeling unwell and that it would take at least a few months for him to recover.
When he asked Gao Shun to help him manage the army, Gao Shun agreed, but after saying a few words to the soldiers, he left immediately.
This made Yuan Xi quite depressed. Are all the people around Lu Bu so difficult to deal with?
However, Wei Xu, who he least wanted to make friends with, behaved quite politely after accepting Yuan Xi's gifts and goods.
But the more this happened, the more Yuan Xi felt that Wei Xu had something up his sleeve. The other party was not low in status, but he deliberately showed favor to him. He was probably ordered to complete his master's mission!
Yuan Xi understood that the only way to solve the hidden dangers in Huaicheng was to kill Wei Xu directly.
But thinking about it, the hundreds of personal guards Yuan Xi led alone could not do anything. Unless Wei Xu was exposed, he would have a legitimate excuse to kill him.
But now Jushou has gone to Hedong, and no one is around to advise him. The only one around him is... Hua Tuo.
Yuan Xi took Hua Tuo south, originally to save Qu Yi, but Qu Yi died, so Hua Tuo temporarily stayed with Yuan Xi.
Hua Tuo... Yuan Xi thought for a long time, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
If you want to kill Wei Xu, it's best to start with the Yan family, because Wei Xu's wife is likely to have an affair with Lu Bu, and the Yan family must regard her as a thorn in his side.
If the evidence of Wei Xu's evil intentions is conclusive, Yan might use his identity as Mrs. Lu Bu to order other subordinates to kill Wei Xu?
Since Yan didn't want to meet him, he could only attack Lu Lingqi, but Yan didn't let Yuan Xi and Lu Lingqi meet. This required an upright excuse. This was the time for Hua Tuo to take action.
The next day in the Lu Mansion, Lu Lingqi was talking to Yan. A doorman from outside came in and said that Yuan Xi had handed over a greeting card. When Yan heard this, she looked unhappy and said, "Why hasn't this kid given up? He's been so shameless all day long!"
Lu Lingqi smiled secretly in her heart and said, "Mom, I am now a branch of the Yuan family, the head of Yuan Ji's branch."
"In terms of status and family status, he is higher than our family, right?"
"Aren't you afraid that the nobles will criticize you when you say that your mother is rejecting her?"
Yan was choked and said angrily: "Why do you come back from outside the city like a different person?"
"That kid didn't do anything to you, right?"
Lu Lingqi's heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly said, "What can he do to me!"
"Furthermore, he saved my life, and even Master died trying to protect me. We must always remember this favor, right?"
Yan said doubtfully: "Is there really nothing else?"
Lu Lingqi stamped her feet, "No, it means no!"
"I don't understand why my mother is so hostile to him because we are both children of the Yuan family?"
"I'm afraid that Yuan Gulu's son's achievement ability is far inferior to him, right?"
Yan said angrily: "I just can't swallow this breath!"
"I heard that this boy is quite lecherous. He has many concubines in the house. It would be fine if you were his wife. He also wants to take you as his concubine, which is a great idea!"
"When the time comes when you are bullied and your mother can't protect you, how can you not worry me?"
Lu Lingqi was helpless. She couldn't say that she fell in love with Yuan Xi because he promised to take her to the war, right?
If you want to tell the truth, let alone Yan, Lu Bu will be the first to disagree.
She could only hesitate and said: "Since I handed you the greeting card, why not take a look at what it said?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Yan had no choice but to open the greeting card and found that although it was in the name of Yuan Xi, the person who came to visit was Hua Tuo, a doctor under Yuan Xi.
The greeting note stated that Lu Lingqi was injured in the previous episode. In order to heal the wound, some medicinal materials were needed. In order to check on Lu Lingqi's recovery status, she came to visit her.
Yan frowned and said, "There are so many doctors in the city, why do you need him to send someone here?"
"This Hua Tuo letter has a very strong tone. Is it very famous?"
Lu Lingqi sighed: "My mother doesn't know that Mr. Yuanhua's medical skills are quite good."
"A few days ago, I was chased by the enemy and was injured in many places. Mr. Yuanhua treated me and applied the medicine. Now, in less than half a month, the scars are already much better."
Mrs. Yan felt quite distressed when she saw Lu Lingqi lifting her clothes and pointing at the wound, but seeing that the effect was indeed very good, she was surprised: "The medicine is so effective?"
She then thought about it and said to the doorman, "In that case, let him come in."
After a while, Mrs. Yan saw a doctor who looked about forty or less and walked in with a medicine box on his back.
She looked at the other person carefully and said, "Are you Hua Tuo?"
The person who came was Hua Tuo, who was entrusted by Yuan Xi. He immediately said: "It's me. I've met Madam."
Yan laughed after hearing this, "How old are you, and you still call yourself me?"
Hua Tuo said: "I am over fifty."
"What!" Yan was shocked, "Are you so old?"
"Why do you look so young?"
After hearing this, Hua Tuo bowed and said, "It's just a little trick to keep your face."
When Yan heard this, he became interested and asked, "Yanzhushu?"
"What's this?"
"The Taoist and Immortal Techniques spread in Taiping Dao?"
Hua Tuo shook his head and said, "No, it's just medical skills."
"Appropriate medicinal materials, combined with health regimen, can naturally delay aging and maintain youthfulness. Even if used properly, it can have the effect of rejuvenating the youth."
After hearing this, Mrs. Yan was immediately moved and said eagerly: "Really?"
"Please give me some advice, sir!"
When Hua Tuo saw Yan's appearance, his thoughts were as expected by the young master. How could a woman of Yan's age not be interested in such a thing?
Hua Tuo relied on exercise to maintain his physical condition, and his appearance did not look old. In addition, he had dressed up a little before coming here, making him look younger, so Yan was convinced.
Seeing Yan's expectant look, Hua Tuo nodded immediately and started to pull it apart.
While Yuan Xi was trying to open up the relationship with the Yan family, the news that Lu Bu sent troops to welcome the emperor reached Anyi, Hedong.
Liu Xie in Anyi City suddenly felt better after hearing the news.
A few days ago, he conferred the title of four generals, three of whom were from the Baibo Army. Only Zhang Yang was from Bingzhou, so he was ostracized by others.
Although Zhang Yang has a good temper, he can't stand provocations and troubles every day. He happened to encounter the Huaicheng rebellion. He learned that one of the forces was actually his subordinate Yang Chou. He was shocked, so he said goodbye to Liu Xie and returned to Huaicheng. Aftermath.
Although Zhang Yang was so vain that he got a title from Liu Xie, he understood that in order to gain a foothold in troubled times, his own territory and foundation were the foundation.
Huaicheng was his hometown. If he gave up, Zhang Yang would only become a lost dog. Even if Liu Xie made him a general, it would be useless, so he hurried back.
So at this time, Liu Xie's weakness became apparent. The rewards he gave were all illusory official positions, and no actual benefits could be obtained.
This is also the reason why the Baibo thieves looked down on Liu Xie. Now that they had gained a false reputation, they began to think about actual benefits and felt that Liu Xie had lost their use value.
Liu Xie also understands this. He now wants a prince who has strength but lacks status to support him. If the two sides join forces, it will be a match made in heaven!
But where to find such people?
Because the most important thing is to be loyal to yourself, which is so difficult!
When Liu Xie felt that he could not find a way out, he received the news that Lu Bu came to rescue him. This made Liu Xie quite happy, although in Liu Xie's eyes, Lu Bu had many shortcomings and was far from being the best candidate.
But judging from Lu Bu's previous experience, he is still very loyal to Liu Xie. With his help, he can also suppress the Baibo thieves, right?
But what surprised Liu Xie was that according to the news, in addition to the Bingzhou soldiers brought by Lu Bu, there was also a Youzhou army affiliated with the Yuan family to assist!
A descendant of the Yuan family?
What do they want from themselves?
Liu Xie was very wary and resistant to the Yuan family. After all, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were the two most powerful princes in the world. Their actions revealed that they had long had different intentions and it was difficult for him to use them.
Regardless of this, there is still a force more than a hundred miles outside Anyi City.
Cao Cao's army.
His request to enter the city to welcome the emperor has been discussed by the ministers for a day. Most people believe that Cao Cao's army is currently the most reliable!
