Naturally, Yuan Yao's purchase of money and goods could not be hidden from Yuan Shu.
But when he heard that Yuan Yao wanted to go to Lujiang to look for a beauty called Er Qiao, Yuan Shu didn't take it seriously for a while, only thinking that Yuan Yao was going to start doing random things again.
Yuan Yao himself also knew that the longer the trip south to Yuzhang was delayed, the harder it would be to hide it from Yuan Shu.
But he had to wait for an opportunity.
In the past few days, Yuan Yao heard that Sun Ce had led his army to Liyang.
Moreover, Sun Ce made great fanfare all the way, playing the banner of conquering Jiangdong, and people kept taking the initiative to defect to him along the way.
When Sun Ce set out, there were only more than 2,000 people. However, by the time they arrived in Liyang, the number of soldiers under his command had doubled, and the number of soldiers continued to increase.
Yuan Yao was so anxious when he saw it, Sun Ce had already crossed the river in the end, and he hadn't even left Shouchun yet.
Fortunately, on this day, Huang Yi finally brought the news that Yuan Yao wanted.
Yuan Yao immediately sent someone to invite Qi Ji and Qin Yi to his house for a talk.
After drinking for three rounds, Yuan Yao turned around and secretly put the cut onions in front of his eyes, turned around and cried:
"General Qi, General Qin, I'm suffering!"
Qi Ji and Qin Yi hurriedly asked: "Why is this, Mr. Yuan?"
Yuan Yao cried and said: "I am not afraid of the two generals laughing at me. I have a concubine who I keep in a courtyard outside the city. I love her very much!"
"But I just discovered yesterday that that bitch was having an affair with an outsider!"
"I discovered that the man not only insulted me, but also relied on his physical strength to knock over several of my guards and escape over the wall!"
Qi Ji was surprised: "There are people in Shouchun City who dare to seduce Mr. Yuan's woman. Could it be that they are impatient with life?"
"Wouldn't it be simple to just send an uncle, lead a team of soldiers, arrest him, behead him for misconduct, and confiscate his house?"
Yuan Yao shook his head: "I think so too!"
"But this matter is disgraceful after all. If it gets too big and spreads accidentally, I'm afraid I will become the laughing stock of Shouchun's people!"
"But if I let him go, I won't be able to swallow this breath."
"So I don't know what to do at the moment, so I can only share my bitterness with you two and drink away my sorrows!"
Qi Ji and Qin Yi are also men, and they understand that no man wants his head to change color and have it spread.
"I would like to ask, Sir, does the person who had the affair have an official position?"
Yuan Yao shook his head: "That person is not from Jiujiang, and he doesn't hold any official position in Shouchun!"
He is not a local and has no official position!
Qi Ji and Qin Yi looked at each other and immediately realized that this was an opportunity to get closer to Yuan Yao.
Qi Ji came forward and asked in a low voice: "Does Young Master Yuan want to get rid of this person?"
"Of course." Yuan Yao nodded and shook his head: "But you can't send my father, the sergeant, to kill this person! Wouldn't everyone know about my scandal?"
Qi Ji sneered: "How can you kill a chicken with a butcher's knife?"
"Although General Qiao was afraid that the marriage proposal would be known to the whole city, so he did not let me and I lead troops to escort the young lady back to Shouchun, but my two brothers still have twenty or thirty retainers who can use swords."
"If you really want to get rid of this person, you might as well leave it to my brother and the second person to take care of it, and make sure it's done cleanly!"
Yuan Yao was surprised and asked: "Two generals, can you really help me with this big favor?"
Qi Ji hurriedly expressed his determination: "A man keeps his word!"
"Young Master Yuan can tell this matter because he regards my second brother as one of his own. It is natural for the two of us to relieve Mr. Yuan's worries and solve problems!"
Qin Yi also patted his chest and said, "Master, please rest assured. No matter how strong he is, can he be able to defeat the two of us?"
"This matter must be done properly for the young master!"
Yuan Yao grabbed their hands and said gratefully: "Without the help of these two generals, I don't know what to do!"
"But the nights are long and there are many dreams, so why not end this matter tonight!"
In the middle of the night, Yuan Yao took only his chief attendant Yuan Bao, Qi Ji Qin Yi and several of his confidants to ambush in a dark place.
Not long after, two drunken men in fine clothes were staggering on the road with the support of several servants.
Gao Medical Officer Ling is very happy today. His brother-in-law Xu Qiu pleaded with Yuan Shu today and finally kept his position as Medical Officer Ling.
When I was happy, I invited Xu Xuan out for a meal of fine wine and ordered some singing and dancing prostitutes to celebrate.
The two of them had so much fun that they forgot about time and walked home as it got darker.
Although the two had drunk too much, their minds were still clear, and they were still stammering about how to cover themselves in front of their respective wives when they returned home.
Yuan Yao pointed at Xu Qiu and Gao Medical Officer Ling, and said to Qi Ji and Qin Yi:
"I'm afraid it's my fault that these two people would brag about it after drinking too much!"
Qi Ji showed a ruthless look on his face: "One more is not much, just kill them all together!"
After saying that, he gave Qin Yi a wink. The two of them covered themselves with black cloth, each led a few close disciples, and surrounded him in front and behind.
Yuan Yao said to Yuan Bao beside him: "You go too!"
After all, Qi Ji and Qin Yi are soldiers and they handle things neatly.
All the killings were done by wiping the neck. In the end, Xu Zhuan and Gao Medical Officer Ling fell to the ground without making any sound.
The two were about to lead the people to evacuate, when torches lit up around them.
Yuan Yao blocked the way, and Huang Yi jumped out from nowhere on the left hand side, leading a few people holding torches.
Qi Ji and Qin Yi were shocked: "Master Yuan, put out the torch quickly, otherwise the soldiers patrolling the city will be disturbed and things will be serious!"
Yuan Yao smiled and said: "The two generals killed someone, don't you want to see who they killed?"
"Yuan Bao, please lead them to recognize someone!"
Yuan Bao was the last to join the action, but he also helped kill a servant.
At this time, he walked into the field and turned over the bodies of Xu Qiu and Gao Medical Officer Ling.
When he saw clearly who it was, he immediately jumped out a few meters away in fright and said in a trembling voice: "It's Xu Donghai and Gao Medical Officer Ling!"
Qi Ji and Qin Yi didn't know why, so they grabbed Yuan Bao and asked, "What are the identities of these two people?"
Yuan Bao swallowed and pointed to Gao Medical Officer Ling first: "This is Gao Medical Officer Ling, an order from the Yangzhou Medical Officer's Office. He is someone close to the Lord!"
Qi Ji and Qin Yi were both startled, but Yuan Bao hadn't finished speaking yet.
"This is Guangling Xu Qiu, the Prime Minister of the East China Sea appointed by the imperial court!"
Qi Ji and Qin Yi were shocked.
Killing two thousand officials of the imperial court in the street is a serious crime of genocide!
"Master Yuan, what's going on here?" Qi Ji asked, his face turned pale.
"Didn't you agree that the person you want to kill has no official position or position?"
Yuan Yao innocently said: "I just said that these two people have no official positions in Shouchun."
"The high medical officer ordered that he be reinstated tomorrow. Killing him today will not count!"
"Although Xu Xuan is the Prime Minister of Donghai, Donghai State is a county under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou. What do you want to do with Yangzhou?"
"you you you……"
Qi Ji was choked by Yuan Yao's sophistry and was speechless.
Qin Yi still didn't believe it, so he pulled open Xu Zhuan's clothes and found a silver seal hanging with a blue ribbon around Xu Zhuan's waist.
Immediately, he was so frightened that he dropped the bloody long knife in his hand and collapsed on the ground.
"Can't you see it now?"
Yuan Yao said with a relaxed expression: "I'm borrowing a knife to kill someone!"
Qi Ji still couldn't believe the scene in front of him: "Why did Mr. Yuan harm us two?"
"How did my two brothers offend Young Master Yuan?"
Yuan Yao shook his head and slowly approached, but still kept a little distance from Qi Ji.
"No, no!"
"I don't want to harm you two, I just want to give you two a fortune that is astonishing!"
"How do you say this?" Qi Ji stared at Yuan Yao, not believing that killing a high-ranking official appointed by the imperial court with two thousand dan would be a way to make him rich!
But at this time he had no idea, Yuan Yao made it clear that he was planning on him. With his humble status, he can only be a pawn on the chessboard.
I just don’t know whether in Mr. Yuan’s heart, he is an abandoned son or a living son.
"I have a feud with Gao Medical Officer Ling and Xu Qiu. This is something that everyone in Shouchun has known recently."
"You two are just helping me to kill these two people!"
"I will naturally take the main responsibility for killing these two people tonight."
Qi Ji: "You are the lord's legitimate son. Even if you kill these two people directly, the lord will find a way to protect you."
"But since we both have low status and are the perpetrators, I'm afraid we won't end up well!"
Huang Yi on the side laughed loudly and said: "Of course! Of course the two of you will not end well!"
"And he will definitely be used as a scapegoat by the Lord and bear all the blame for Xu Xuan's death!"
Qi Ji and Qin Yi were frightened by Huang Yi's words.
Not only was there no thought of resistance, but the thought of accepting one's fate was already born.
At this time, Huang Yi threw out a life-saving straw.
"But as long as you two follow Mr. Yuan from now on and entrust your wealth and life to Mr. Yuan, then Mr. Yuan will naturally protect the lives of his confidants!"
"Not only that, Mr. Yuan will naturally put you two in high regard. Isn't this a huge wealth given to you two?"
Qi Ji didn't understand for a moment: "We are both stupid. We only know that someone will be responsible for this matter."
"I just want to know how the young master will handle this matter? Where will he put the two of us?"
"Master, please make it clear!"
Yuan Yao plucked up the courage, stepped forward and patted Qi Ji on the shoulder, and said to the two of them:
"It's very simple to say. I just want to follow Sun Ce's example and cross the Yangtze River to open up territory for my father."
"It's just that we are short of generals, so we have no choice but to drag two generals into the water!"
"As long as you two are willing to be my generals and drive for me, there will be no worries about what happens tonight."
"I will tell my father that I have promoted two people to the rank of lieutenant general. If my father knows that I only have two people around me, he will definitely find someone else to be the scapegoat."
"At that time, the two of you will be worthy of the name of my beloved generals. From now on, there will naturally be huge wealth waiting for you two!"
Only then did Qi Ji and Qin Yi understand.
Feelings, the young master of the Yuan family, is so calculating!
Before the two of them spoke, they saw Yuan Yao lowering himself, bowing his head and cupping his hands in apology:
"I also know that this matter is really reckless, and it is really inappropriate to calculate the two generals like this!"
"I would like to apologize to the two generals, please accept this gift!"
After saying this, Yuan Yao bowed.
"If the two generals are unwilling to obey me, or if they still have anger in their hearts, they can use their swords to hold me hostage."
"This will ensure that you and your family can leave Huainan safely!"
Yuan Yao asked a multiple-choice question, and Qi Ji and Qin Yi immediately chose the correct choice.
The two of them threw away their swords and knelt down in the tunnel: "Qi Ji wishes to be driven by Mr. Yuan!"
"Qin Yi is willing to serve Mr. Yuan from now on!"
Yuan Yao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it would take so much effort to conquer two unknown generals.
It seems that after leaving Shouchun, we must make a name for ourselves in front of the world as soon as possible!
Yuan Yao helped Qi Ji and Qin Yi up, then turned to look at the chief attendant Yuan Bao.
"Yuan Bao, would you like to be born together with me?"
Yuan Bao is a confidant of Yuan Shu, but he has never been a confidant of Yuan Yao himself.
So today, it was not just Qi Ji and Qin Yi who were designing, but also him.
Yuan Bao also understood that he would be the one to take the blame in the end if he didn't agree.
He immediately knelt on the ground and said, "I am willing to die for my young master!"
Yuan Bao, who was thinking quickly, immediately changed his name to Yuan Yao.
Yuan Yao nodded. He didn't have many close confidants, but he had to have someone by his side whom he could absolutely trust.
Taking in and brainwashed by the Yuan family since he was a child, Yuan Bao, who is loyal and unwavering, is naturally the best candidate at the moment.
At this time, Yuan Yao regained his aura as the eldest son of the Yuan family, and began to give orders to everyone:
“Now that the incident has occurred, it’s time to leave without further delay!”
"Generals Qi and Qin will go home now, take available retainers with them, and take care of the family affairs."
"Yuan Bao, please dispose of the body. Don't alert the patrolling soldiers tonight."
"In an hour, everyone will gather at the south gate. I have the order to leave the city, and I can order the city gate captain to open the city and let them go!"
After everyone was ordered to leave, Yuan Yao suddenly called Qi Ji to stop.
"What else is there, young master?" Qi Ji also imitated Yuan Bao and changed his name to Yuan Yao.
"Your friend Liu Yuanying, who took refuge in Shouchun, has always been protected by you and General Qin!"
"You two are going to leave Huainan with me this time. Aren't you afraid of something unexpected happening to Liu Yuanying?"
"Xu Qiu has a lot of followers, and there are generals he knows in the army."
"Although my father will protect you and General Qin's family, if these people take revenge and Liu Yuanying is implicated, I will still feel sorry for myself!"
"For example, take Liu Yuanying away with you?"
Qi Ji hurriedly expressed his gratitude: "Young Master has thought carefully, and Qi thanked Mr. Yuanying in advance!"
