Not long after they left, a group of people came towards them. The leader was Yuan Shang, the third brother of Yuan Xi.
"Hey, isn't this the second brother?" Yuan Shang shouted, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and said respectfully: "Third brother Yuan Shang, please say hello to the second brother."
The corners of Yuan Xi's mouth twitched, and he tried to put on a smile on his face. He helped him up and said with a smile: "My brother, why are you so polite? Did your third brother just come back from outside?"
Yuan Shangjunyi's face was full of smiles, he raised his head and whispered: "No, my mother asked me to do some things recently, which was a bit time-consuming, so I didn't visit my second brother's house on time this time. Don’t be surprised!”
"Brother, why are you saying these polite words?" Yuan Xi patted him on the shoulder, turned around and said, "Third brother, let me introduce you to you. This is your second sister-in-law, Wugu."
"Yuan Shang greets my sister-in-law!" Yuan Shang hurriedly bowed with both hands.
Gao Yue nodded slightly and returned the greeting: "Well, uncle."
Yuan Shang raised his head and looked next to Gao Yue, and his eyes were stunned.
Although he had known for a long time that his second brother had a beautiful maidservant in Luoyang, and he also knew about her reputation, but he didn't take it to heart. He thought that it was just like that. At most, the world was looking up to his Yuan family, but when he saw it today, His soul was deeply shaken.
The woman in front of him was a young woman, no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. Her skin was as beautiful as snow, she was extremely beautiful, her face was stunning, and she could not be looked at. Her pair of moist and lively eyes were moving around, as if she was also sizing him up.
Yuan Xi frowned, blocking Yuan Shang's gaze slightly, and shouted softly: "Third brother?" The green pearl is his own, how can he allow others to get involved in it.
Yuan Shang came to his senses, took a deep breath, and sighed: "Second brother is so lucky. A woman who has accumulated the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into one body is rare in the world. No wonder the second brother hides her beauty in the golden house."
Yuan Xi's frown deepened. If the brother said this before Lu Zhu came to the door, it would be a compliment. But now the woman in front of him is your brother's woman, and it is obviously rude to call her like this.
It was his brother who was celebrating the new year. Yuan Xi couldn't help but calmly said: "Third brother, for my brother's sake, I will take the first step."
After saying that, she took the two girls and left. Seeing Yuan Xi being so nervous about herself, Lu Zhu felt sweet in her heart and followed Yuan Xi quickly with small steps.
Yuan Shang was still immersed in the beauty of Lvzhu at this time. When Gao Yue, who was graceful, intellectual and elegant, and had the best temperament in the world, passed by him again, when he caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye, he felt that he could not breathe on his own. .
"Husband? Husband?" Yu Youwei, Yuan Shang's concubine, raised her arm and gently pulled her absent husband.
Yuan Shang came to his senses, glanced at his wife, and suddenly felt bored. Thinking that his second brother could have such a beautiful wife and concubine, he felt panicked, shook his sleeves suddenly, and left quickly.
In fact, Yu Weiwei is also stunning, but after all, domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, right?
The young fish was slightly startled, silent for a moment, and immediately chased after him slowly. Women have the most sensitive minds, and she took Yuan Shang's performance into consideration, but as a concubine, what could she do? In addition to feeling helpless, she also felt a little desolate. You must know that Yuan Shang was very kind to her before.
Yuan Xi walked a few steps in front, feeling angry in her heart. This Yuan Shang was so outrageous that he even dared to disrespect his sister-in-law. With his face just now, if it wasn't for something important at hand, he would have punched her.
"Husband." Gao Yue saw Yuan Xi's angry look and had nowhere to vent his anger. She stepped forward gently and whispered: "Today is the New Year, so don't be in a bad mood."
Yuan Xi fiercely shook his sleeves and hummed: "You two, remember this. From now on, tell the concierge that if he sees this bastard, he is not allowed to come in. The bastard is getting more and more outrageous."
Lu Zhu followed closely, grabbing the hem of Yuan Xi's clothes and saying, "His eyes are so evil, and he feels bad. He doesn't look like a good person." Lu Zhu was adding fuel to the fire.
Yuan Xi was so happy. If Lu Zhu said this in another family, her husband would definitely scold her for alienating the relationship between brothers. However, Yuan Xi, who knew Yuan Shang well, did not feel that there was anything wrong with what Lu Zhu said.
"This kid is not a good guy, but our parents treat him badly, so let's stay away from him so as not to annoy our eyes." Yuan Xi said angrily: "If I see him like this again in the future, I won't fight him. Break his dog legs."
Lu Zhu liked the way Yuan Xi was holding on to her, and said with a smile: "Why are you kicking him? I dug out his eyes. It's obvious that he is not a good thing, so as not to harm women from good families in the future."
Regarding Yuan Shang's behavior just now, in the eyes of Gao Yue and Lu Zhu, it was undoubtedly extremely rude. Before Yuan Xi didn't get angry, they couldn't say anything. Now that Yuan Xi got angry, Lu Zhu's true nature was immediately exposed and he yelled Wanting to beat someone up.
Ordinary women would definitely not be like this, including Gao Yue, who looked helpless on the right side of Yuan Xi, but Lu Zhu had been doted on by Yuan Xi these months like a daughter, and she really said whatever she wanted boldly.
The three of them chatted and arrived at the backyard of Yuan's house in a blink of an eye. Luzhu quickly fell two steps behind, followed Gao Yue, and started to behave like a well-behaved and docile person with his tail between his legs. The three of them entered the main room, greeted Mrs. Liu, and then walked around. Just wait until noon to eat.
Yuan Xi took the two girls and wanted to find a cleaner house to sit in. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the main house, he saw his eldest brother Yuan Tan and his wife in a small pavilion on the other side, seeming to be chatting with others.
"Brother." Yuan Xi shouted. Pulling the two girls forward. After all, Yuan Tan is the eldest son in the family. Now that he has seen him, Yuan Xi cannot lose his etiquette.
Gao Yue said: "Husband, eldest brother is discussing official business, why don't we go over there?"
"It's okay. Didn't you see that my sister-in-law is here?" Yuan Xi shook his head indifferently and pulled the two girls to the front in a blink of an eye.
"Second brother, you are here too." Yuan Tan greeted his wife, and Mrs. Xin immediately smiled and walked towards Gao Yue and Lu Zhu.
Yuan Xi smiled at Yuan Tan, then turned to Mrs. Xin and said, "Sister-in-law, this is Gao Yue, my wife. You can chat."
"My younger brother and sister are really beautiful, beautiful and intelligent. My second brother is so lucky." Mrs. Xin quickly took the two girls to the side and started chatting enthusiastically.
Gao Yue was a master at setting the mood, and coupled with Lu Zhu's quirkiness, the three girls started chatting together within a short time.
"Brother." Yuan Xi turned his head and called out, then turned his gaze to the scribe who was about thirty years old and stood up, and asked, "Who is this?"
In fact, Yuan Xi didn't know about it, but he still asked about it because he wanted to confirm their relationship.
"Second brother, come, let me introduce you. This is Guo Tu, my best friend in Beijing. This time he came to see my father for something, so I met him."
Guo Tu bent down slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Guo has met the second young master."
Yuan Xi hurriedly replied: "Brother Guo is too polite. Since you are my brother's friend, you are also my brother. You can just call me Xianyi from now on."
Guo Tu smiled slightly and said without politeness: "In this case, the Duke will ask Da to show off his power."
"As it should be, as it should be."
The three of them sat down and Yuan Xi said, "Brother Guo, let me know if you have any trouble. If you can help, my two brothers will definitely help you with all our strength."
Yuan Tan said: "This matter is of great importance and cannot be solved by you or me. My mother has agreed to let our father help solve it."
Yuan Xi nodded. In his memory, Guo Tu was his father's counselor, but he later followed his elder brother.
Around noon, Guo Tu took a look at the sky, stood up and said, "You two gentlemen, please stay. I'm going back soon."
Yuan Tan said: "Brother Guo will not be left here during the Chinese New Year. Let's meet in Luoyang next time." Yuan Tan was reluctant to leave. Sometimes I think that if Yuan Tan was not forced to jump over the wall by Yuan Xi, he might be considered a conservative. Lord, just like Yang Yong, the brother of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and Li Jiancheng, the brother of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin. Pity.
Guo Tu took a deep look at Yuan Xi, said nothing, and left with fists in his hands. He felt that this second young master was unusual and might be the eldest young master Yuan Tan's rival in the future, but he didn't say anything at the moment. Sometimes people's first impressions are very accurate.
Yuan Xi looked at Guo Tu's back and sighed deeply. His eldest brother Yuan Tan's minions also began to appear, and it seemed that he had to hurry up.
Yuan Xi Mansion.
"Sir, it's a little late. Let's take a shower and change clothes earlier." Luzhu's increasingly sweet voice came from the house. A peaceful look appeared on Yuan Xi's face, and he immediately walked into the house.
Under the dim candlelight, Yuan Xi looked at Lvzhu, who was standing quietly aside. She had grown into a slim and graceful girl. She was wearing a goose-yellow dress, which was slightly tight and outlined her graceful girlish curves. , but the pure face has the ultimate charm.
In the flickering light, the extremely pretty blush on her cheeks looked so charming. If in later generations, she might be just a green apple at this age, but in this era, she is already a mature beauty that can be picked. .
As Gao Yue's dowry maid, Lu Zhu was destined to do something from the beginning, so Lu Zhu was somewhat prepared, although she was shy and sweet.
Luzhu tested the water temperature for Yuan Xi, and put in various bath beans and spices. All the utensils used were of the highest standard from famous families. She lowered her head and said softly: "Master, I will undress you." .”
Yuan Xi accepted Lu Zhu's service calmly. Looking at her charming eyes in the dense mist, he only felt that Lu Zhu was really beautiful. There are some things that Yuan Xi cannot do to Gao Yue, but he can do whatever he wants with Lvzhu.
Lu Zhu was already very familiar with Yuan Xi's love. She had been with Yuan Xi for four years. In Lu Zhu's mind, this boy who was gradually maturing was the only one for her. She didn't know if this was love. She only knew that this was love. , if she loses him, she will feel confused, as if her existence is meaningless.
Lu Zhu's soft, boneless hands slid across Yuan Xi's extremely smooth skin. Her strong body made Lu Zhu's suppressed inner heart flutter slightly. She suddenly remembered the scene of the young master's first legacy before coming to Hebei, her face. The blush on his face became more and more intense. It turned out that the young master had grown up.
Yuan Xi soaked comfortably in the tub, smelled the fragrance of jasmine, and couldn't help but exhaled. Looking at the extremely charming aura exposed by Luzhu with his head lowered under the candlelight, he moved. The long-lost mood.
When he was studying in the Yuan family in his early years, he called himself a "sexy person". Now that he has such a beautiful Shinv, why didn't he have any ideas before? At that time, Lu Zhu was accompanying Gao Yue at Gao's house, and Old Man Gao was watching Yuan Xi as if to guard against thieves. It was difficult for Mr. Yuan to make a move, not to mention that Gao Yue hadn't finished it yet.
Yuan Xi said very relaxedly: "Luzhu, can you take a bath with me?" There was a frivolous charm in his voice, which made people unconsciously sink.
Lu Zhu was suddenly startled, but she had a feeling that the young master had finally enlightened herself. He didn't seem to have any "wrong thoughts" towards her before. It seemed that the young master had really grown up, and she suddenly felt a new feeling in her heart. I felt conflicted, eager and reserved at the same time. I remembered that I would definitely be the prince's concubine in the future, so I let go of everything.
She took off her clothes under Yuan Xi's fiery gaze, and her naked body was unreservedly displayed in front of his eyes. Her crystal-clear skin looked charming under the candlelight. Blush, her body is so well-proportioned, every part seems to be perfectly carved, the pair of charming yurts in front of her chest stand proudly, the pear-like shape is dotted with two extremely pink grapes, two The smooth breasts are tightly pressed together, and the mystery among the lush and fragrant grass is looming.
Lu Zhu entered the bathtub very shyly. Although she had slept with the young master many times, this was the first time that she had met him sincerely. Looking at the satisfied smile on the young master's face, her heart became excited. He smiles and worries about his worries. Is this the simplest and purest happiness? If you don’t get love from anyone in your life, you will love someone without any reservation as a belief. , will it be fulfilling?
Yuan Xi carefully admired the scene of the beauty taking a bath. He always felt that if a woman could not be both talented and beautiful, she must have a beautiful appearance. Yuan Xi stretched out his hand and caressed Luzhu's shy cheek. Her face looks so pure, as if she is the purest existence in the world. However, the charming look in her eyes always arouses the man's desire. He feels that the contrast between such purity and charm is green beads. The most welcoming place.
He stroked his hands down from this face. The white and tender neck like a swan's neck made him want to go up to it wantonly, but his eyes only had passion and appreciation. Beautiful women always need it. Taste it slowly, but don't waste it. His hand slid down, dipped into the water, and touched the softest part of the green bead. The amazing elasticity and wonderful touch made him marvel in his heart.
Luzhu felt the young master's caress, and couldn't help but let out a "嘤四", and said with a hint of coquettishness: "Young master, you are really a ****, I'd better take a bath for you, otherwise the water will get cold."
The passion that had just risen in Yuan Xi's eyes gradually disappeared, and the fiery eyes gradually turned into pure appreciation. After all, Luzhu had not yet entered puberty, and doing certain things too early was not good for her body, so it was better to take it slow. Slow down...
At night, Yuan Xi summoned a group of confidants, glanced around a few people, and said: "I am going to go into the pass to investigate the enemy's situation, and contact the old officials to plan to kill Dong Zhuo."
Several people were obviously shocked by his decision and did not respond for a long time. Seeing that the generals were silent, Yuan Xi naturally asked Guo Jia with his eyes.
Guo Jia shook his head and frowned: "The possibility of success is very slim, but the danger is very high." This was Guo Jia's calculation after comparing his conventional strength.
Yuan Xi knew that Guo Jia had not been exposed to the current intelligence on Chang'an and the power of the Yuan family, so he felt that action was not advisable.
So Yuan Xi analyzed the situation of the Chang'an and Xiliang armies obtained from the intelligence, and finally said: "I have sent secret guards to occupy the foothold and arranged an escape route. Even if it fails, I am still very sure. You can escape unscathed, but there are also great risks. You can stay or leave of your own volition."
"Of course I will advance and retreat together with the young master." Xu Chu said gruffly. Xu Chu would definitely go with Yuan Xi, as Yuan Xi had long been his master in his heart.
Xu Huang said nothing but nodded. After all, Xu Huang is a person who pursues fame and wealth. He can't take it immediately if he has wealth.
"It's rare that the young master is so righteous and brave. Yun Ding will do his best to help." Zhao Yun said excitedly. Loyalty is Zhao Yun's creed, and Yuan Xi coincides with Zhao Yun's philosophy.
Xu Huang also went on to say: "Dong Zhuo acted against the will of the whole world, and revenge for the country is the rule of an ordinary man."
Under Yuan Xi's confident expression and sharp gaze, Guo Jia smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "It's time to go to Guanzhong for a tour." He was tricked by Yuan Xi.
Now everyone agreed on some details. Not too many people could sneak into Chang'an secretly, so they only took 300 Tiger Guards with them. The sergeants were divided into multiple groups pretending to be salt traders along the Yellow River to Hedong, then crossed the Yellow River to Anyi and transferred to Chang'an.
Some of them were left to support them along the Yellow River and on the outskirts of Chang'an City. Weapons were smuggled in by real traders, and settled in shops run by Yuan Xi and houses purchased in advance.
After ten days of planning, Yuan Xi led everyone to leave a letter and left Yecheng privately for Yongzhou. Yuan Shao was really angry after seeing Yuan Xi's letter, so he summoned Tian Feng, Ju Shou and Xun Chen to discuss it.
Because the secret travel route of Yuan Xi and others was unknown and they could not be traced back, Tian Feng and others could only ask Yuan Shaoduo to send spies to Beijing to cooperate.
Yuan Xi's caravan of more than 300 people passed through the Taihang Mountains, exited Huguan and crossed Shangdang. They rested for a while in Anyi, Hedong Province, and then crossed the Yellow River again to Jingyang, Yongzhou. After making some arrangements, they arrived at the Jingwei confluence. .
Although it was already mid-March, the cold wind was still blowing in Guanzhong, and everyone couldn't help feeling solemn as they looked at the loess plateaus and steep mountain roads.
Yuan Xi rode on his horse and felt the desolation and solemnity of the loess land. He couldn't help but wave his whip and said loudly: "The road through Xiongguan is really like iron, and now I can cross it from the beginning while walking!" Mao Zedong's poems really fit the scene here.
Guo Jia stuck his head out of the carriage, took a deep breath, and sighed: "What a great pass!"
"A great country/however, it was ravaged in Xiao Xiao's hands." Yuan Xi added. Yuan Xi's sigh has the same meaning as Ruan Ji's sigh that there was no hero to make Shuzi famous, that is, Gaiyi calls himself a hero.
Guo Jia smiled and said, "So it's time for a hero." How could Guo Jia not know what Yuan Xi meant, so he followed suit.
Yuan Xi rode up to Guo Jia, patted him on the shoulder, pointed into the distance and said: "Looking at the ups and downs of the vast earth, it is you and me." At that time, Grandpa Mao and Grandpa Zhou must have commented on the world like this.
Guo Jia was infected by his heroism and majestic scenery, but after a moment he smiled lightly and said: "It's exactly what the young master said, now I'm walking and crossing over from the beginning." Guo Jia is not stupid. If Yuan Xi wants to be a hero, he must first pass the current level, otherwise There are some withdrawals and some are not, we are all smart people.
After all, good birds choose trees to roost, and famous ministers choose their masters, right? Yuan Xi chooses Guo Jia, and Guo Jia is also considering Yuan Xi. This is the same as falling in love, but compared to the love master Liu Bei, Yuan Xi is inferior after all. Some heat.
Yuan Xi smiled and said nothing, but his thoughts were flying to nowhere...
What Yuan Xi didn't notice was that two other private carriages that were driving next to their caravan from Hedong were looking at them thoughtfully.
