In Yecheng, Yuan Tan's residence, Yuan Xi went to the banquet alone.
"Oh, second brother, long time no see, you have lost weight."
Seeing Yuan Xi arriving, Yuan Tan had already greeted him at the door.
"You've broken me, how dare you trouble your elder brother to welcome him personally?"
When Yuan Xi saw Yuan Tan, a smile appeared on his face.
"Huh? They are all our brothers, we have seen each other outside."
Yuan Tan smiled and patted Yuan Xi's shoulder gently.
"My younger brother is being pretentious. How is my eldest brother recently?"
Yuan Xi looked at Yuan Tan and said with great concern.
"It's not bad. Let's catch up with old times later. Second brother, please."
Yuan Tan stepped aside to let Yuan Xi enter first.
"Don't dare, don't dare. Brother, I'll invite you first. The courtesy cannot be discarded."
Seeing Yuan Tan's courtesy, Yuan Xi's heart tightened.
"Okay, brother was negligent. Come, let's have a banquet."
Yuan Tan walked in front and said to the attendants around him.
Yuan Xi followed Yuan Tan silently. At the same time, he was also quietly looking at the people around him.
Zhang Hong was opposed to Yuan Xi attending the banquet alone. After all, it was very risky, but he was betting that in Yecheng, Yuan Tan should not dare to touch him.
However, both brothers misjudged this time. Yuan Xi underestimated Yuan Tan's ruthlessness. Similarly, Yuan Tan also underestimated Yuan Xi's defensiveness.
Of course, the two brothers of the Yuan family did not reveal this matter to Yuan Shao. After all, if this matter was exposed, then they would not be able to kill it.
After the banquet, Yuan Xi left Yuan Mansion with a pale face, and soon he came to a corner.
"Zhongkang, Zhongkang, where is Zhongkang?"
Yuan Xi shouted sharply into the darkness.
"Master, don't panic, Xu Chu is here, please give me your instructions."
Slowly, a strong man walked out of the darkness.
"Zhongkang, hurry up, give me the vomiting medicine, hurry up."
Yuan Xi held on to the wall, urging with an ugly expression.
"Master, here it is, Mr. Zhang prepared it."
Xu Chu stepped forward to help Yuan Xi up and took out the medicine.
"Okay, very good, damn Yuan Tan, poison me."
Yuan Xi cursed while taking medicine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Come here, hurry up and get the antidote for me."
Yuan Tan looked shocked after Yuan Xi left.
It turned out that he also drank the poisonous wine prepared at the banquet. There was nothing he could do about it. If he didn't drink it, Yuan Xi would definitely not drink it because of his caution. In order for Yuan Xi to drink the poisonous wine, he had no choice but to sacrifice his life. Accompany a gentleman.
"My eldest son, why didn't you keep Yuan Xi?"
Xin Ping handed the antidote to Yuan Tan and asked.
"I think so too, but nothing can happen to Yuan Xi in my house, Yuan Tan, or my father won't be able to spare me."
Yuan Tan took the antidote and his complexion softened slightly.
According to the plan, Xin Ping wanted Yuan Tan to kill Yuan Xi at the banquet, once and for all.
However, an accident happened. For some reason, Yuan Tan ignored Xin Ping's reminder, changed his mind temporarily, and adopted the second, backup plan, poisoning.
I don't know whether this is because Yuan Tan can't bear it, or because he is really worried about Yuan Shao's accusation, or maybe it's both. People's hearts are really complicated.
Penglai has legends about immortals, but there is no way to prove whether they are true or false. Emperors of all dynasties all wanted to live forever and protect the country forever. Emperor Xuanwu, Yuan Xi, was not exempt from vulgarity.
But being able to live forever is a luxury hope. However, there was Qin Shihuang before him, then there was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and now there is Emperor Xuanwu. They worked one after another to search for the elixir. Logically speaking, based on their intelligence, they should not make such a mistake, but the fact is What happened was not so much the pursuit of immortality, but the greed for power.
Since ancient times, Penglai is still there today. Without Qin Shihuang, the pursuit of immortality is destined to be a luxury hope.
Emperor Xuanwu sent people to inspect the elixir, but it took three years but failed. When Tian Feng learned about it, he was furious again, and Yuan Xi had to give up helplessly.
Although their lives eventually passed away, the historical achievements they created continue to flow in the long river of history.
Being remembered by future generations can be regarded as another way to gain immortality.
Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Xuanwu, they are all shining heroes of Chinese civilization.
