was questioned by Yuan Xi, Jia Xu's expression was still calm.

Looking down at Yuan Xi sitting behind the low table facing him, Jia Xu raised his hand and stroked his beard, and said with a playful smile on his face: "Childe, don't you think that you can keep the Yuan family business without fighting?" ”

Jia Xu did not refute Yuan Xi's speculation, which made Yuan Xi even more unhappy in his heart.

Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang compete for the family business, Yuan Tan is the eldest son, and Yuan Shang is Yuan Shao's favorite son, both of them have some support.

Mo said that he Yuan Xi had no intention of fighting, even if he had the intention to fight, he did not have the support of Hebei warriors like Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi.

If he had listened to Jia Xu, I am afraid that before Cao Cao's army attacked, he Yuan Xi would have been defeated by Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang.

Yuan Xi didn't say anything, but Jia Xu continued: "Of course, if you talk about Hebei, I am afraid that the prince is not as popular as the eldest prince and the third son. But Childe has the same basis, I don't know if Childe can see it? ”

"How can you be sure?" His brows were tightly furrowed, Yuan Xi didn't have much interest in this conversation, and his tone was much colder when he asked.

"Childe has King Qin!" has been hanging Yuan Xi's appetite, from Yuan Xi's tone, Jia Xu has already seen that it will only be counterproductive to continue, so he quickly turned the conversation and said to him: "What the son wants to do is not to compete with the eldest prince and the third prince for the family business, but just to set up the two of them, so that they are unable to fight each other!" ”

When Jia Xu said that he was just going to set up Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi's face instantly looked much better, and he hurriedly sat up straight, hugged his fists and bowed down and said: "Fang Cai is abrupt below, don't look at Zhonglang!" It's just that I don't know what Zhonglang's strategy is, so please teach Zhonglang to teach me! ”

Brushing his beard, a smile appeared on Jia Xu's face, and he said to Yuan Xi: "This matter is very simple! ”

Sitting up a little straighter, Yuan Xi didn't speak, but his eyes were full of anticipation, just waiting for Jia Xu to tell him his plan.

"His Royal Highness wants to ask his wife to stay in Luoyang, but he is thinking of the love of the prince back then, if the prince refuses, I don't know how His Royal Highness will feel?" Yuan Xi's face was full of anticipation, but Jia Xu turned his head and turned to Liu Wei.

Suddenly hearing Jia Xu mention Liu Wei, Yuan Xi was stunned again, and his face was stunned.

If Jia Xu hadn't pointed it out, he wouldn't have even considered the consequences of rejecting Liu Wei.

"Your Highness's meaning, doesn't the prince still understand?" Seeing the astonishment on Yuan Xi's face, Jia Xu struck while the iron was hot and said: "His Royal Highness wants the prince to keep his wife, which is nothing more than two intentions!" ”

Jia Xu talked about Liu Wei's intention to leave Zhen Mi, and Yuan Xi immediately fixed his eyes on his face, wanting to listen to what he could say.

"Leave Madame, and the relationship between His Highness and the prince is like a covenant! There are many strong swordsmanship of the Great Qin Guards, even if someone intends to be unfavorable to his wife, he can't move her half a point! Gazing at each other with Yuan Xi, Jia Xu said: "Cutting off the prince's worries is one of His Highness's concerns. Second, the subordinates speculated in vain, and His Royal Highness left his wife, and he also took his wife as a hostage......"

"Huh?" He had thought of this layer for a long time, but Yuan Xi just didn't expect that the words would come out of the mouth of Jia Xu, who was a staff member of King Qin, and immediately snorted lightly.

At the same time, a delicate exclamation also came from the inner room.

Hearing the conversation between Jia Xu and Yuan Xi word for word, Zhen Mi couldn't hold back and exclaimed softly.

Jia Xu and Yuan Xi both heard Zhen Mi's exclamation, and the two of them turned their heads to look at the door of the inner room, then they both turned their faces again and looked at each other.

"What is His Highness's intention to keep Zhen Ji as a hostage?" I don't know if it was to hide Zhen Mi's exclamation, or if he wanted to ask in his own right, Yuan Xi stared at Jia Xu and asked.

"The subordinates speculate that His Highness is not worried about the son!" Smiling slightly, Jia Xu clasped his fists and bowed to Yuan Xi and said, "That's it, the subordinates say goodbye!" ”

"Slow down!" After Jia Xu said goodbye, he turned around and left, Yuan Xi hurriedly stood up, stepped to catch up with him, grabbed his sleeve and said: "What does His Highness think, I really don't understand it, I hope Zhonglang will teach me!" ”

was pulled by Yuan Xi's sleeve, Jia Xu first glanced back at his hand pulling the sleeve, then turned his head to look at him and said, "Childe is smart by nature, why do you have to say more?" ”

Jia Xu said a word, and Yuan Xi's mouth was slightly open, but he didn't know how to respond.

Yuan Xi slowly loosened Jia Xu's sleeve, and bowed to him again, and Jia Xu withdrew from the guest room.

The door opened and closed again after Jia Xu left, Yuan Xi was still looking at the door in a daze, like a wooden chicken.

Jia Xu left, Zhen Mi in the inner room hurriedly ran out and threw herself into Yuan Xi's arms, her pretty face was already full of tears, and said to Yuan Xi: "The husband is a person who has achieved great things, since the king of Qin wants to keep his concubine in Luoyang, the husband forcibly disobeys, and he must have annoyed the king of Qin......"

"Zhen Ji!" Holding Zhen Mi, Yuan Xi gently stroked her shoulder, and said with a touch of pathos on his face: "King Qin doesn't believe in being a husband, so today's matter is here, Zhen Ji is afraid that she will suffer!" ”

From Yuan Xi's words, Zhen Mi had already heard his choice, buried her pretty face in his chest, and just sobbed blindly.

Although it had been guessed earlier that Liu Wei was going to leave Zhen Mi as a hostage, the words that came out of Jia Xu's mouth meant that for Yuan Xi, it meant something extraordinary.

Since the First World War of Guandu, Yuan Shao, whose power has been in full swing, has begun to decline.

Although Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang only did something secretly because Yuan Shao was still there, and did not dare to put the contradictions on the surface, Yuan Xi knew that once Yuan Shao was gone, Hebei would definitely be in chaos.

As Liu Wei and Jia Xu said, if the Yuan brothers work together, they may be able to fight with Cao Cao.

I was afraid that Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang would be short-sighted and unable to see clearly, and they were finally broken by Cao Cao and handed over the Yuan family business to the surname Cao.

Liu Wei invited the couple to come to Luoyang, saying that they wanted to celebrate Guan Qing's birthday, and on the first day of coming, they had already picked out the words clearly.

Yuan Xi also knew that Liu Wei wanted to support him to inherit Yuan Shao's family business.

After all, Hebei is too big, and although Great Qin is adjacent to Hebei, it is impossible for the Qin army to always be stationed there after all.

Leaving Zhen Mi in Luoyang, Yuan Xi had scruples, and whenever he took action in the future, he must first ask Liu Wei, so that Hebei was in the hands of Liu Wei.

Thinking about this layer, Yuan Xi sighed softly.

He didn't expect that the Yuan family, which was once in the sky, would fall here one day, and he, as a descendant of the Yuan family, would become another puppet.

But after thinking about it, King Qin is a descendant of the Han family after all, and he once served as the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Now the emperor in Xudu is just Cao Cao's puppet, and the world of this Han dynasty will fall into the hands of King Qin sooner or later.

To be a puppet for the current King of Qin, the Miao descendants of the Han family who may become emperors in the future, is not an insult to the name of the ancestors.

He had already made a decision in his heart, and with Zhen Mi in his arms, Yuan Xi shouted outside the house: "Someone!" ”

As soon as he finished shouting, the door was pushed open, and a maid stood in the doorway, waiting for his orders.

Glancing at the maid standing outside the door, Yuan Xi frowned, and instructed her: "Go and report to Your Highness immediately, Your Majesty has important matters to present to Your Highness!" ”

"No!" The maid answered softly, turned and walked out.

When the maid left, Yuan Xi gently stroked Zhen Mi's fragrant shoulder, and said to her softly: "What King Qin and Jia Zhonglang said is true, and now Yecheng is afraid that it is already precarious. Zhen Ji stayed in Luoyang, protected by Daqin's guards, and led the army outside for her husband, and her heart was much more stable. ”

Lying on Yuan Xi's chest, feeling the caress of his palm, Zhen Mi's tender arms slowly opened and gently hugged his waist, but the two of them were tighter than Fang Cai.

Yuan Xi asked people to go to Liu Bian's confession and ask Liu Bian to meet him.

Liu Wei, who had already left the Flower Pavilion and was standing side by side with Guan Qing by the lake, listened to the guard's report about Yuan Xi's request to see, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Guan Qing, who was standing side by side with him, did not look at the lake in front of him, but always turned his head to look at Liu Wei.

A smile appeared at the corner of Liu Wei's mouth, but Guan Qing's heart revealed a trace of complexity.

Since Liu Wei became the king of Qin, his power has become greater and greater, and the military strength of Great Qin has become stronger and stronger, but the clear eyes of the past are extremely difficult to see.

In place of those eyes, the smile that often appeared inadvertently at the corners of his mouth.

This smile is very evil, so evil that every time Guan Qing sees it, he will feel a chill all over his body.

Liu Wei already has the mentality of a superior, and he has learned how to play tricks, and he knows how to gather the hearts of his soldiers and local people.

But Guan Qing felt that Liu Wei was different now.

Not noticing Guan Qing's gaze, Liu Wei waved his hand at the guard and said, "Please come here to meet Young Master Xianyi!" ”

"No!" The guard bowed in response with a fist and took two steps back before turning to leave.

When the guards left, Liu Wei glanced sideways at Guan Qing beside him, which happened to be opposite to her eyes with complicated feelings.

From Guan Qing's gaze, Liu Wei saw a strong entanglement, and asked her with a slight smile: "Qing'er, do you feel that this king is unscrupulous for the sake of power?" ”

It was like this in his heart, but when the words came out of Liu Wei's mouth, Guan Qing was still taken aback.

She hurriedly lowered her head, did not admit it, and naturally did not deny it.

Guan Qing's demeanor had already explained it, and Liu Wei said to her with that evil smile on the corner of his mouth: "In the troubled times, if we want to live, how difficult it is!" This king also wants peace in this world, but the world is full of wars, if we don't play some tricks, how can we live in this world? ”
