The General's Mansion is the most luxurious residence in Yecheng, with carved beams and painted tiles, jade-lined tiles, majestic buildings and majestic momentum. In the hall, I heard the soldiers shouting "Bingzhou Governor is here". Yuan Shang, the newly appointed Jizhou Shepherd and temporary general, immediately put on a kind face and threw away the arrogance he had when facing Yuan Mai. , brought Shen Pei and Feng Ji out to welcome him. "My fourth brother, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time. My father is seriously injured and Jizhou is in a precarious situation. My brother is the only one who can support the overall situation. I am really exhausted" When Yuan Shang walked up to Yuan Mai, he gave a warm greeting. Hug, with a sad and heavy look; even Shen Pei and Feng Ji next to him secretly praised the performance in their hearts. "Hmm, um the little brother is here, here!" Being a little overwhelmed by Yuan Shang's sudden change, Yuan Shang said casually without realizing it. His mind was spinning, thinking about what Yuan Shang had planned? Why would this arrogant guy change his face 180 degrees for no reason? "This handsome little boy was not like this before; he always looked condescending and arrogant. Today, his face suddenly changed. Why are you here?" Yuan Mai turned his eyes and thought to himself, and in the blink of an eye he was right Yuan Shang's intention is clear. "Nine times out of ten, it was Shen Pei and Feng Ji's idea, right? They want to draw me over to fight Yuan Tan together, or split the relationship between us and form a vertical alliance? In this case, I also Let me play a show with you!" Yuan Shang also felt that his sudden burst of enthusiasm was incompatible with his previous arrogance and hostility. With a hint of apologetic smile, he explained: "Xian Yong, don't blame the third brother. It was too serious to speak on the city wall. My father fell from his horse and was seriously injured. People were moved and the undercurrent was raging. Jizhou was ownerless and in danger. I had no choice but to temporarily take over the command of Jizhou. But you and Yuan Tan led the troops into Ye. Brother Yu. To establish authority, I have to act in front of others" "Brother, don't misunderstand me. I heard the news a few days ago that Zhang Yan of Montenegro was preparing to move at the southern end of Taihang, so he brought 10,000 troops to protect him along the way." Yuan Mai surrendered! Explanation, as if humans and animals are harmless. Yuan Shang did not believe Yuan Mai's explanation, and pretended to be confused and said: "So, Zhang Yan of Montenegro has been causing trouble for a long time, so he should be careful! I have said before that the purpose of your troops entering Jizhou and Yuan Tan is not the same. Same. Your troops stood still after they arrived at the city; but Yuan Tan actually wanted to lead his troops into the city, his intentions are really unpredictable! We are brothers, is it possible that I will murder him? " It would be strange if he didn't want to murder someone. It's a pity that everyone is not a fool, you don't have a chance! Although Yuan Mai secretly complained in his heart, on the surface he showed a deep brotherly love. He sighed and said: "The third brother is absolutely right. The eldest brother is too concerned about this matter. Although you and I are not born from the same mother, , but they are born from the same father, like brothers and sisters, how can we be suspicious of each other? My father is seriously injured, so we should work together to overcome the difficulties." The words were impassioned and full of expressions. Full and vivid; Shen Pei and Feng Ji looked solemnly and moved, and secretly speculated in their hearts, could this be the sincerity of the Fourth Young Master? Could it be that we are really judging the gentleman with the heart of a villain? "I wonder why my father was so seriously injured?" After some opening remarks, Yuan Mai went straight to the topic. Yuan Shang looked sad and said sadly: "When we were approaching Yecheng, there was a strong wind and sand. The horse was frightened. He threw his father off the horse and fell into the valley. As a result, he was seriously injured. I have searched for good doctors to treat him, but he can't get better. Although he is conscious now, But he was unconscious and could only rely on rare food to maintain his life! " In this era, it was very common for "horses to frighten". Moreover, Yuan Shao was walking among the troops at that time, and Yuan Mai did not think that it was caused by someone's conspiracy. What's more, when the incident happened, Feng Ji, Chen Lin, Chen Zhen and other staff were all accompanying him. Yuan Mai would never have thought that Yuan Shang would act so boldly. In fact, don¡¯t say that Yuan Mai, who was not present, had no way of knowing the truth. Even if Yuan Shao woke up, he would never think that his favorite son had murdered him. After all, the war horse cannot speak human language and will not tell the public what happened to him. Moreover, it has long been slaughtered by Yuan Shang on the charge of "obstructing the master" and given to the soldiers to cook and eat, and the evidence of the crime was destroyed. With Yuan Shang¡¯s ruthlessness and caution, he not only eliminated Yuan Shao¡¯s mount. Although Liu Han, the murderer, was Yuan Shao's cousin, instead of ushering in the glory and wealth he wanted, he disappeared from the world, neither alive nor dead. "Sigh The sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortune and good fortune. Third brother, don't be too sad. Maybe my father is destined to have such a disaster!" Yuan Mai comforted Yuan Shang with a sad expression, "Please lead the way and allow me to visit." "Father!" "Follow me."Come on! " Yuan Shang nodded and led the way, followed closely by Shen Pei and Feng Ji. Yuan Mai winked at Wang Shuang and Zhou Cang, and then followed him towards the inner courtyard with striding steps like a meteor; Jushou, Zhang He, Yuan Yao and Zhu Ao followed, while Wang Shuang and Zhou Cang stayed in the front yard, secretly monitoring Yuan's every move. They walked through the Moon Cave and walked through several long corridors before arriving at Yuan Shao's bedroom. The strong smell of herbs could be smelled from a distance. After entering the bedroom, Yuan Mai scanned the room as quickly as possible and saw Yuan Shao with a yellow face lying on the bed, motionless. He was breathing, his eyes were half-open, and he was in a semi-conscious state. According to what was said before the time travel, this was a symptom of a vegetative state; it was estimated that Yuan Shao injured his brain after falling from his horse, causing a concussion or hemorrhage. The medical skills of this era were completely powerless against such injuries. Yuan Shao's ability to survive for a few more days was the result of the concerted efforts of many doctors. If it were not for his noble status, ordinary people would have died long ago. ! The bedroom is spacious. Apart from Yuan Shao on the hospital bed, his wife Liu is sitting at the round table with a heavy face, looking at Yuan Mai coldly. Although Yuan Shao has been trying his best to defend Yuan Mai, Mrs. Liu still insists that Yuan Mai is the one. The murderer of his son often wanted to smash Yuan Shao's bones into ashes, but at this moment, Yuan Shao was lying in bed and his life was hanging by a thread. It was not convenient for him to have an attack, so he suppressed his anger, but there was no trace of hatred on his face. It was impossible to hide. In addition to the Liu family, several other concubines of Yuan Shao were also waiting nearby, all with sad faces, and their eyes could not hide their fear for the future; among them was the Zheng family who had the closest relationship with Yuan Mai. "My child has met my mother! "Although he is already a prince, Yuan Mai met his elders and was greeted with courtesy. He first walked to his wife, Mrs. Liu, and bent down to bow. "Well! Mrs. Liu suppressed her anger and barely squeezed out a word from her nose. Yuan Mai didn't care about Mrs. Liu, and walked up to Yuan Shao's other concubines as if nothing had happened. They greeted them one by one: "See you, baby." Come on, mothers! " Finally, he walked up to Zheng Yu and bowed deeply: "Yuan Mai, the governor of Bingzhou and the general of Zhenxi, pays homage to my mother! " After two years of separation, Mrs. Zheng's youth has passed away for two more years, but her features have become more charming, even better than before. " But in the twinkling eyes, there is uneasiness and fear of the future. If Yuan Shao dies, I am afraid that he will be vicious. Liu Jiao would never let him go! But when Yuan Mai walked into the room, Zheng suddenly felt an unprecedented expectation in his heart. This man had promised himself that as long as he could succeed, he would. He will protect the safety of his mother and daughter; but now, he is already a prince on the leading side, stamping his feet. The north is shaking, but I don¡¯t know if he still remembers the original promise? ! " Mrs. Zheng smiled sweetly, and a sense of bitterness filled her heart. This smile contained relief, sustenance, dependence, and a variety of emotions. It can't be described in one word. This man who is ** years younger than herself is her stepson. , after two years of hard work, he has undergone earth-shaking changes from before, from a frail young man to a heroic feudal official. He has lived up to his high expectations, which is gratifying. He also promised that he would be like his biological mother. Treat yourself, but after all, he is not his son, and he will not be as reliable as Yuan Shang is to Mrs. Liu. In times of crisis, can he protect the safety of his mother and daughter? What's more, there is only a seven or eight-year age gap between him and me. If Yuan Shao, who is over fifty years old, passes away, even if Yuan Mai can ensure that he walks out of Yecheng safely, how will he get along with this "son"? In full view of the public, Yuan Mai does not dare to be too close to Zheng and nods in agreement? One voice: "My two-year military career has become much stronger than before! " Then he walked to the bed, sat down slowly on the edge of the bed, stared at the semi-conscious Yuan Shao on the bed, brewing his own sad emotions. After a while, the tears finally squeezed out, and he began to cry loudly. " Zhuge Liang had nothing to do with him. Zhou Yu could cry so hard that everyone in Soochow burst into tears. As a time traveler, he had watched a lot of TV dramas. Could it be that he couldn't play the role of Zhuge Villager? The man lying on the bed was his biological son after all. Although my father doesn't treat me well, I definitely don't treat him badly; and with his outstanding performance in the past two years, his attitude towards me is gradually changing. Now that he is dying, he should also cry loudly! "WoohooFather, you?How unfortunate? In the prime of life, the child suffered such misfortune because he was incompetent and unfilial! Externally, I cannot sweep away the princes and relieve your inner worries. Internally, I cannot saddle up my horse and follow my father's left and right, causing you to fall off the horse and be seriously injured. Yuan Mai is ashamed to be a son of a man, and is ashamed to be a minister Living without shame between heaven and earth, if he can Instead, the child is willing to die for you! " Yuan Mai's words of condolences were sincere, and his expression was lifelike, with tears welling up, a lot of runny nose, beating his chest and feet, crying and howling. When the performance was so realistic, he thought of the various benefits Yuan Shao treated him, which aroused the pain in his heart. , almost fainted, causing everyone present to cry. They all sighed and said in their hearts, "This son is really filial." Yuan Shang's few words of hypocritical crying could not be compared to Yuan Mai's crying. , which made Yuan Shang feel a little ashamed and sighed secretly; but when he thought of the brilliant general's seal, he immediately became hard-hearted. As Yuan Mai cried loudly, Ju Shou, Zhang He, Yuan Yao and others all bowed their heads. Tears; even Shen Pei and Feng Ji were moved by this. They felt that their actions of murdering Yuan Mai were a bit unworthy of Yuan Shao, and they were too ashamed to see each other. "Young master, please don't cry Maybe the master will be able to do it after a while." Come on, if you cry so sadly, the lord will not hear you! " Yuan Mai slowly stopped feeling sad and looked up, only to realize that it was Wen Chou who was speaking. After entering the room, he only paid tribute to several of Yuan Shao's wives and concubines, but did not notice that Wen Chou was in the room. "In fact, since Yuan Shao was seriously injured, Wen Chou has been with him in the mansion, almost every step of the way, waiting outside the ward with a knife every night, not allowing any strangers to come closer. "General Wen's wish is good, but his father is injured. It's so heavy that I'm afraid it's hard to do what I want. It's already the limit to be able to support it for another month or two! "Yuan Shang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and sang the opposite tune. Wen Chou's livid face was slightly angry: "What did you say? As a son of man, don¡¯t you hope that the Lord will wake up? Ever since my lord became seriously ill, I have never seen you cry as bitterly as the Fourth Young Master. Every day you are busy dispatching troops, arranging personnel, reusing direct descendants, and getting rid of dissidents. Are you worthy of my lord's favor? " "You" Yuan Shang's face also became ugly, but facing Wen Chou, who was eight feet five inches tall, broad-shouldered and round-waisted, with a sturdy build, he felt apprehensive and rolled down his sleeves and said, "I won't argue with you. Mothers, just take care of your father. My responsibility is to maintain the stability of Jizhou to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause trouble. This is my responsibility to my father! " Shen Pei was afraid of a quarrel between Yuan Shang and Wen Chou, so he intervened and said: "My lord needs to rest, General Wen should not quarrel with the young master. Third Young Master attaches great importance to the overall situation and stabilizes the morale of the Jizhou army. He has a heavy responsibility. General Wen must not misunderstand him! These days, you have been staying by your lord's side and haven't rested yet. Today, when the Fourth Young Master arrives, you can go back home and have a peaceful sleep! " Wen Chou has not undressed and gone to bed for many days. He stays around the ward every day. When he is sleepy, he lies on the desk and takes a nap. At this moment, he is extremely tired. After hearing the words of the judge, he nodded slightly and said: "I am Wen Chou. I am an untouchable man who almost fell into the hands of a bandit. He was recognized by my lord with his wise eyes and supported me many times. I just became a general and became a marquis. My humble life belongs to my lord. As long as my lord does not die, I will protect him to the death. I'll go back and take a shower first, and I'll come back to protect the Lord tomorrow! " Looking at Wen Chou's back as he strode away, Yuan Mai suddenly felt secretly happy in his heart: "Hey it's really unexpected. I didn't expect that the relationship between Yuan Shang and Wen Chou was actually at odds. Is this really great? It seems like we can do something about this! "
