"Someone!" After appeasing Jia Xu, Liu Wei turned his head and shouted outside the flower pavilion.

A guard guarding outside the flower pavilion hurriedly ran up to the pavilion and stood on the pavilion with his fists clenched.

"Pass the order, and find out who intends to assassinate the son of Xianyi!" Looking at the guard, Liu Wei's brows furrowed slightly, and he gave him an order.

When he spoke, his face was solemn, and no matter who saw his expression, he would never have thought that the assassin was sent by his King Qin.

"No!" The guard answered, exited the flower pavilion, and then turned to leave.

Seeing the back of the guards leaving, although Liu Wei knew in his heart that this investigation might only end without a problem in the end, the look on his face was still solemn.

Liu Wei instructed the guards to investigate the origin of the assassin, and Yuan Xi's heart was suddenly moved.

It wasn't that he didn't suspect the origin of the assassins, nor did he not think that the assassins would be inextricably linked to Great Qin.

Liu Wei's show suddenly made Yuan Xi give up the only doubt in his heart.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Clenching his fists and bowing, Yuan Xi bowed deeply to Liu Wei and thanked him.

Nodding to him, Liu Wei said to him: "Xianyi, do you know that Cao Jun has already entered Yecheng?" ”

"Yes!" Putting down his hands, Yuan Xi said to Liu Wei: "My father has already recruited troops and horses, and plans to fight Cao Cao again!" ”

"The Cao army is all warriors in a hundred battles, and the soldiers and horses recruited by the father are mostly new soldiers, even if the number far exceeds the Cao army, what can be done?" Shaking his head, the corners of Liu Bian's mouth pulled into a strange smile.

Seeing the smile on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth, Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What does Your Highness mean?" ”

"If it weren't for the arbitrariness of this king, this time the father and Cao Cao would have fought a decisive battle, and they would definitely be defeated again!" Liu Wei said to Yuan Xi without concealment: "But it is difficult for my father to accept advice, even if this king tells him that he must not fight again, he will definitely not listen!" Now Hebei is safe, all in the body! ”

didn't expect Liu Wei to say that Yuan Shao would be defeated, Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What are your Royal Highness's plans?" ”

"This king is not worried about the beginning, but is more worried about Brother Ling!" Staring at Yuan Xi, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and said to him: "Even if Cao Cao wins again this time and breaks Yecheng, Hebei is still in the hands of the Yuan family. As long as you and other brothers work together, you can fight against Cao Cao. It's a pity ......"

At this point, Liu Wei stopped talking and didn't continue.

was waiting for Liu Wei to say his plan, he suddenly stopped talking, but Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What is the pity?" ”

"It's a pity that Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang!" Shaking his head, Liu Wei turned around and walked to the flower pavilion, looked at the pool outside the pavilion, and said to Yuan Xi: "It's a pity that the two of them don't know the righteousness, and they fight for power all day long, intending to take over the original family business!" ”

Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's competition for the family business has long been an open secret, and Yuan Xi has no doubts about how Liu Wei knows.

Between the brothers, they were separated from each other all day long, and Yuan Xi was also very confused.

But Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are his brothers, and the other is his brothers, and it is really difficult for him to make a choice between the two.

Earlier, he had an idea that no matter who took over the family business, as long as it was Yuan Shao's entrustment, he would give it his full support, but now that he heard Liu Wei bring up this matter, he suddenly felt that he was afraid that the fight between brothers would not end as lightly as he imagined.

Lowering his head, Yuan Xi was speechless.

Liu Wei sighed lightly and continued: "The Yuan family has been in charge of Hebei for many years. ”

was asked by Liu Wei, Yuan Xi's head was lowered, but he still didn't speak.

He knew very well that since Liu Wei had raised this matter, he must have already thought about how to solve it, and all he had to do was to wait for Liu Wei to make his words clear.

With his hands behind his back, Liu Wei didn't say anything for a long time.

He and Yuan Xi were waiting, waiting for the other party to speak first.

Both of them knew very well that the interests of Great Qin and Yuan were exactly the same when it came to fighting Cao Cao, the only difference was that if Cao Cao won the recent war, the Yuan would have completely declined, and Great Qin would have lost nothing more than an alliance.

Liu Wei didn't say anything, he believed that Yuan Xi would definitely not be more calm than him, after all, it was Hebei that was in danger now, not Luoyang!

Jia Xu, who was standing in the flower pavilion, also knew the key to the silence of the two.

As Liu Wei's staff, it is absolutely impossible for him to break the silence at this time.

Liu Wei didn't say anything, if he interjected, he could only let Liu Wei lose to Yuan Xi in this silent competition.

Standing in the flower pavilion, Jia Xu twisted his face to the side and looked at the scenery outside the pavilion, as if the things in the pavilion had nothing to do with him.

Looking at Liu Xu's back, he waited for a while, but he didn't hear him say anything more, Yuan Xi turned his head and glanced at Jia Xu, when he saw Jia Xu's leisurely expression, he suddenly understood, if he didn't speak, I'm afraid Liu Wei wouldn't speak again.

Although the foundation of the Yuan family will not be inherited by the eldest brother Yuan Tan in the future, or by Yuan Shang, who is more similar to Yuan Shao's temperament, Hebei is Yuan Xi's family after all, and the Yuan family is his sect after all.

He could not have watched Hebei fall into Cao Cao's hands.

Clenching his fists and bowing, Yuan Xi finally opened his mouth and asked Liu Wei: "Your Highness, what can I do about the crisis in Hebei?" ”

Hearing Yuan Xi's voice, a smile appeared on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.

He didn't look back, just looked at the pond outside the pavilion, continued to be silent for a while, and then said leisurely: "This king wants Xianyi to lead Hebei, I don't know what Xianyi wants?" ”

If someone else said such a thing, Yuan Xi would definitely scoff at it, but it was Liu Wei who said this, so he didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, the matter of Hebei is the decision of my father, and my subordinates will never dare to disobey my father!" ”

"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister!" Looking up at the blue sky outside the pavilion, Liu Wei took Yuan Xi's words and said: "The world is all Han, when did Hebei become the original?" ”

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment when Liu Wei asked this, hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed, lowered his head, and didn't dare to say anything more.

"Please come to Xianyi and his wife, this king has two things to do for Xianyi!" The words have been spoken, Liu Wei no longer concealed it, he turned around, stared at Yuan Xi, and said to him with a calm face: "One thing, after Xianyi returns to Yecheng, you must not mention what this king said, just wait and see what happens, and when things are difficult to clean up, this king will take action!" The other thing is to take into account the worries of Xianyi......"

Speaking of Yuan Xi's worries, Liu Wei didn't continue, just stared at him deadly.

Being stared at by Liu Wei, Yuan Xi only felt uncomfortable, and finally couldn't bear it, and asked him, "What does Your Highness mean by worrying about the future?" ”

"Xianyi and his wife are in love, this king has long known it!" A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Liu Wei said to Yuan Xi: "It's just that Xianyi has ever thought about it, if Yecheng is broken by Cao Cao in the future, how will Mrs. Ling deal with it?" ”

Liu Wei said a word, and Yuan Xi was stunned.

In his heart, he was unwilling to admit that the Yuan clan would fail again in the decisive battle with Cao Cao, but Liu was right, the soldiers and horses recruited by the Yuan clan were all new soldiers, and they had not been tested on the battlefield at all.

And Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were all crawling on the battlefield, and many even crawled out of the pile of dead people.

When two armies with such a huge disparity in battlefield experience meet, there is not much suspense at all about who will win and who will lose.

Before, he was only thinking about how to help Yuan Shao retreat from Cao's army, but Liu Wei had already picked his words on the bright side, and learned that the King of Qin was not optimistic about Yuan Cao's second decisive battle, and Yuan Xi also lost much confidence.

When Liu Wei asked what Zhen Mi should do, Yuan Xi was stunned.

Leading the army to the expedition, what he is most worried about is Zhen Mi.

Married husband and wife, kindness and righteousness are hard to break! If Zhen Mi suffers an accident one day, he will definitely be heartbroken, where can he still have the heart to fight with Cao Jun!

Liu Wei mentioned Zhen Mi, Yuan Xi knew that he must have already made a plan, and after a long silence, he asked, "I don't know how His Highness will settle it?" ”

"If Xianyi promises, this king can build another courtyard for Ling and his wife in Luoyang!" Yuan Xi asked Liu Wei how to settle Zhen Mi, and Liu Wei said bluntly: "Xianyi will return to Yecheng this time, leave his wife in Luoyang, and this king will arrange guards to protect him!" When Hebei is pacified in the coming day, the king will send someone to send his wife back to Xianyi! ”

Just listening to this sentence, Yuan Xi knew that Liu Wei wanted to keep Zhen Mi in Luoyang, on the one hand, it was indeed to protect her, and on the other hand, he also meant to take Zhen Mi as a hostage.

Quickly calculating in his heart, calculating the pros and cons of leaving Zhen Mi in Luoyang, after hesitating for a moment, Yuan Xicai hugged his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness thinks about your subordinates everywhere, and your subordinates should have promised ......"

It's just a "promise", Liu Wei heard that Yuan Xi didn't want to leave Zhen Mi behind, so he interrupted him and said: "Xian Yi didn't forget jì, on the way to Daqin, he was assassinated by thieves?" ”

Suddenly mentioning the assassin who committed the assassination, Yuan Xi's eyes opened, and he looked at Liu Wei with a stunned expression, his mouth was slightly open, and he couldn't say the rest of his words.

"Hebei is surging, not only external troubles!" Staring at Yuan Xi, Liu Wei pulled the corners of his mouth, sneered, waved his hand at him and said: "Xianyi and don't be in a hurry to reply to this king, go to rest first, discuss with Mrs. Ling, and after the princess's birthday in a few days, inform this king of the decision!" ”

Liu Wei didn't want to continue, and Yuan Xi couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed to him, said goodbye, and withdrew from the flower pavilion.

Turning his head to watch Yuan Xi leave under the guidance of a guard, and when he was far away, Jia Xu hugged his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, can you allow your ministers to go and talk to Yuan Xi?" ”
