"Keep someone under the sword! Give me someone under the sword! Stop! Save someone under the sword————!"

Just when the sharp ghost-headed sword was about to cut off Mr. Yang Hong's lovely cerebellum, anxious and nervous roars suddenly sounded outside the crowd of onlookers. Then, a group of arrogant and domineering armored warriors collided.

The crowd of common people were driven away, followed by dozens of fine knights with bright armor and gorgeous clothes. Their momentum was ten times more domineering than those armored warriors who kicked and kicked away the onlookers. Among them, there was a silk warrior.

The young man in Confucian robes rides a tall, snow-white horse from the Western Regions. Even the saddle is inlaid with gold and silver. You can smell the luxury on his body from three miles away.

Seeing the young man in a Confucian shirt and silk robe, the executioner who had already raised the ghost-headed sword immediately dropped the butcher knife and knelt down without saying a word. The Yuan Shaojun officials who oversaw the execution and the Yuan Shaojun officers who protected the execution site also said nothing.

, either kneeling on the ground, or kneeling on one knee with a weapon in hand, shouting in unison but with great respect, "Greetings to the Third Young Master!"

"Third Young Master? That Third Young Master?" Mr. Yang Hong, who was pressed tightly on the beheading table, was dizzy and thought to himself, "That Third Young Master? I, Yang Zhongming, have enemies all over the world. Do I still have any acquaintances in Jizhou? My damn father

When you died, you didn't say that I have relatives in Jizhou? Even if I have relatives in Jizhou, you can't be so awesome that you won't kill me just by saying "Save someone under the knife", right?

While he was still dizzy, poor Mr. Yang Hong was helped up by someone, and the person who helped Mr. Yang Hong up was none other than the young Third Young Master, who was twenty-one or twelve years old, and shouted to save others.

Deputy Director Tao, whose age and good looks are inversely proportional to his appearance and good-naturedness, can definitely attract the passionate eyes of many young girls when he walks on the street. His attitude is extremely kind, and he said to Mr. Yang Hong affectionately and sincerely:

"Mr. Zhongming, I have surprised you. I am Yuan Shang, the third son of Duke Yuan, the Marquis of Qixiang. I have met Mr. Zhongming."

"Yuan Shao's third son?" Mr. Yang Hong finally came to his senses, but he was even more confused. "Are all the people in the old Yuan family wrong? Yuan Shu is stupid and stupid. Yuan Tan kept thinking.

Kill me, Yuan Shang comes to save me again, and is he still so polite to me?"

"Mr. Zhongming, I'm sorry for frightening you. I'm really sorry." Someone else came to untie Mr. Yang Hong. This man was a middle-aged scribe in his forties. He was as thin and dry as a bamboo root and wore a square scholar's shirt.

With a sharp look in his eyes, he untied Yang Hong with his own hands and complained in a friendly tone: "But Mr. Zhongming, since you are coming to Jizhou City, why don't you ask Zhengnan to visit you? You want to see Mr. Guo.

but?"

"Zhengnan?" Mr. Yang Hong continued to be dizzy, but finally woke up and exclaimed: "Mr. Zhengnan? Could it be that Mr. Zhengnan is the judge?"

"It's an insult to your honor to be given a cheap name, and I am none other than Shen Pei." Shen Pei replied with a smile, and at the same time personally untied the last rope on Yang Hong's body.

"It's over! Not only Yuan Shao's family is sick, but all the counselors and civil servants in his family are also sick!" Master Yang Hong, who is still confused as of yet, complained even more, "Guo Tu and Xin Ping didn't even say anything about killing me.

, Shen Pei didn’t even say anything about saving me, are the old Yuan family and the officials of the old Yuan family all crazy?"

At this time, Mr. Yuan Shang, who was as handsome as Deputy Director Tao, had already grabbed Yang Hong's wrist and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhongming, let's go. I will take you to see your father. Don't worry, sir.

Yuan Shang is here, my father will definitely take back his life, pardon you, and will definitely receive you in person."

After saying that, Yuan Shang turned to the officers and soldiers of Yuan Shao's army next to him and shouted: "I took Mr. Yang Hong away. I will bear all the responsibilities alone. It has nothing to do with you. You can do whatever you want. My eldest brother, Guo Tu, and Xin Ping

If you send someone to ask, just say that this is what I mean, if you have any problem, come to me!"

"No!" The officers and soldiers of Yuan Shao's army present responded in unison, with extremely respectful attitudes. Yuan Shang laughed, picked up Yang Hong and walked away. The officers and soldiers of Yuan Shao's army who were protecting the execution ground backed down one after another, completely ignoring that Yuan Shang and Shen Pei did not show any evidence at all.

Yuan Shao took the condemned prisoner away with the pardon warrant, and he seemed not to worry about the consequences of Yuan Shao's investigation in the future.

Yang Hong, who had been led a long way by Yuan Shang in a daze, as if he was in a dream, finally came to his senses and hurriedly struggled and said: "Three..., Third Young Master, wait a minute, there is still something to do, there is still something to do."

"What else does Mr. Zhongming have to do?" Yuan Shang asked in surprise.

"Third Young Master, there are letters and gifts." Yang Hong's head was still short-circuited, and it took him a long time to explain in coherent words, "My lord Tao Shijun's letter to Mr. Yuan, and the gift from my lord."

The gifts for Mr. Yuan are all still in the inn. Oh, by the way, the envoy must change his clothes, otherwise it will be too disrespectful to Mr. Yuan."

Looking at Yang Hong's plain clothes and Yang Hong's wet crotch, Yuan Shang and Shen Pei burst into laughter. Then Yuan Shang ordered Shen Pei: "Okay, Mr. Zhengnan, you go back to the inn with Mr. Zhong Ming first."

Get the letters and gifts, let Mr. Zhongming bathe and change clothes, and then take Mr. Zhongming to the Marquis Mansion to meet my father, but you have to move quickly and don't keep my father waiting. I will go and explain to my father first."

"Young Master, let your nephew Shen Rong escort Mr. Zhong Ming back to the inn." Shen Pei shook his head and whispered: "Young Master, Guo Tu and Xin Ping must be with the Lord now. Young Master, you go to see the Lord alone.

We are alone and weak, so we can go with the young master so that we can deal with them."

Seeing Yuan Shang nodding, Shen Pei quickly added, "Oh, by the way, the master had better send someone to inform Tian Feng and Jushu again, tell them the truth, and ask them to come to the master as soon as possible to discuss the matter.

, I will definitely be of great help to the young master."

"Tian Feng and Jushu never interfere in my affairs with my eldest brother. Can they help me?" Yuan Shang asked in surprise.

"Don't worry, sir." Shen Pei replied with a sinister smile: "Tian Feng and Jushuo have always been a helper, but not a relative. Our army has formed an alliance with Xuzhou, which will be of great benefit to the lord without any harm. They are loyal ministers of the lord, so

I will definitely help the young master."

"What are these two people talking about? Why can't I understand a word?"

Mr. Yang Hong next to him became more and more confused as he listened, but Yuan Shang applauded and applauded repeatedly. He also said: "Yuan Fang is my half-sister. Tao Shijun asked his father to marry Fang, so my mother intervened in the matter."

It's very suitable, but I don't know how Tao Shijun looks like? Can he satisfy my mother?"

After finishing speaking, Yuan Shang quickly turned to Yang Hong and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Zhongming, please tell me the truth. What is the appearance of your master, Tao Shijun? Is he handsome? Or is he unsatisfactory?"

It wasn't until Yuan Shang asked again that the dizzy Master Yang Hong came back to his senses, hurriedly raised his hand to Yuan Shang and said: "Third Young Master, please rest assured. Compared with the Third Young Master, my lord is inferior in every aspect, but only in terms of appearance.

I dare to praise you, my lord can barely be on par with the third son. If you don’t believe it, I have evidence. In order to facilitate his proposal to Yuan Gong this time, the lord ordered a master craftsman to draw his portrait and let the envoy bring it to

Jizhou, the envoy will bring it to you in a while, and you can ask the young master to verify it in person."

"Okay, great!" Yuan Shang clapped again excitedly, and then quickly ordered: "Mr. Zhongming, you can take Tao Shijun's portrait with you later and give it to General Shenrong who is escorting you. Shenrong

General, you will hand the portrait of Tao Shijun to my guards later, and they will send the portrait to my mother for viewing."

Over there, Shen Rong, Shen Pei's nephew, also clasped his fist and agreed, and everyone went their separate ways. Yuan Shang and Shen Pei first arranged for their confidants to report the news to the other two important ministers of Yuan Shao's army, Tian Feng and Jushu, and then Yuan Shao and Shen Pei hurried to Yuan Shao's house.

The Marquis Mansion of Qixiang went to Yuan Shao to explain and explain the blocking of the execution of Yang Hong. Shen Rong led more than 20 people to protect Yang Hong and returned to the inn, where he went to change clothes, bathe and take out letters and gifts. At the same time, Xuzhou soldiers lurking among the people also

They came together and met up with Yang Hong.

As a result, Mr. Yang Hong, who was still confused, was like a puppet. He was first escorted back to the inn where he was staying by Shen Rong, and then he was quickly stuffed into the bathtub by the accompanying Danyang soldiers and hurriedly brushed his body with a pig hair brush.

He hurriedly put on the Xuzhou official uniform for Mr. Yang Hong, washed and dressed up, and finally took out Tao Ying's letter and gift from Tao Ying, and stuffed them into Mr. Yang Hong's hands. Over there

Shen Rong kept urging Yang Hong to leave as soon as possible to avoid long nights and nightmares.

After being tormented by countless people for a long time, Mr. Yang Hong calmed down a lot. After carefully checking that all the things that should be brought were brought, Mr. Yang Hong first ordered people to take out gifts and gave them to Shen Rong's accompanying soldiers, and then personally gave a

The pearl of the brocade bag was stuffed into Shen Rong's hand. When Shen Rong was humble, Yang Hong said again: "General, please don't be polite. I have no intention of repaying the favor of saving my life. It's just a small gift, so please accept it." Besides,

The envoy still has something unclear, and I would like to ask the general to tell you the truth. Why is it that the eldest son of Duke Yuan hates me so much that he wants to chop off my head without even saying a word? Why is the third son so kind to me and willing to take the blame for me?

Rescue?"

Shen Rong smiled, looked around first, and then lowered his voice and said: "Mr. Yang, you burned incense and worshiped at the wrong mountain gate. If you had gone to see my third son first, or to see the last uncle first, or even to talk to the last one first,

If we are going to meet each other, then there will definitely be no execution, and sir, you will definitely be able to see the lord smoothly. But sir, you went to the wrong mountain gate and went to Guo Tu instead. That Guo Tu is the eldest son’s absolute confidant.

How can we not kill Mr. Jiang and then kill him quickly?"

"Why? For what?" Yang Hong was even more confused.

"It's very simple." Shen Rong didn't hide anything, and laughed in a low voice: "My third son, like Tao Shijun, is the youngest son and the beloved son. The eldest son, like Tao Shijun's elder brother Tao Shang, is not loved.

The eldest son. After Lao Tao envoy abolished the eldest son and established a younger one and appointed Tao Ying, the younger envoy, people on the eldest son's side said that abolishing the eldest son and establishing a younger one was the way to create chaos. Civil strife would soon break out in Xuzhou, which would lead to great disasters. But the fact is that

On the contrary, after Xiao Tao Shijun succeeded to the throne, Xuzhou not only did not have any civil strife, but also became increasingly rich, powerful and prosperous - Master Yang, do you think the eldest son can not hate Xuzhou to the bone? How can my third son not like Xiao Tao?

Are you your envoy, sir?"

Mr. Yang Hong is indeed not too stupid - if he was too stupid, he would not be able to get where he is today by flattering others. So after hearing Shen Rong's explanation, Yang Hong not only suddenly understood, but also felt happy in his heart.

I shouted to God to help me, brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were fighting for the throne, Yuan Tan hated Wu Jiwu and wanted my life, Yuan Shang loved Wu Jiwu and was extremely close to me, I have hope for this trip - at least, there is hope.

Yuan Shao's most beloved son, Yuan Shang, is fully protected. No matter whether the mission can be completed or not, I don't have to worry about my head falling off.

"Ha, there's more." Yang Hong suddenly remembered something again. He secretly said happily: "Listening to the tone, it seems that Yuan Shang and Yuan Fang are brothers and sisters who crawled out of the same mother's belly. This is a relationship that cannot be more intimate. Yuan Fang

If you really marry my lord, then Yuan Shang and my lord will join forces and help each other, and Yuan Shang will definitely try his best to promote Tao and Yuan's intermarriage and alliance. God help me, and God help me."

After understanding these reasons and his own advantages, Mr. Yang Hong was even more determined. Yang Hong did not hesitate at that moment. He immediately followed Shen Rong out of the inn, and asked Xuzhou soldiers to pick up gifts, and rushed there in a hurry.

The Marquis Mansion of Qixiang paid a visit to Yuan Shao. After successfully arriving at the Marquis Mansion of Qixiang, Yuan Shang's cronies had already greeted him in front of the Marquis Mansion. Yang Hong quickly called Tao Ying's beautiful portrait to Shen Rong, then straightened his clothes and held it up.

The gift list and Tao Ying's letter followed Yuan Shang's cronies into the gate of the Hou Mansion, and finally saw Yuan Shao himself in the lobby.

At this moment, the lobby of Yuan Mansion has been filled with many civil and military officials of Yuan Shao's army. Yuan Shaogao is sitting in the middle of the lobby. He is in his forties and has good features. He has a majestic appearance and a majestic mustache. Yuan Shang is standing on the right side behind Yuan Shao.

As a servant, poor Yuan Tan stood second from the left, still below Guo Tu. It was clear at a glance how favored Yuan Shang was. At the same time, when he saw Yang Hong coming in with a gift list and a letter, Yuan Tan was still vicious.

He glared at Yang Hong, his eyes full of resentment and hatred.

Knowing that he had the support of his die-hard allies, and seeing that Yuan Tan was obviously not as favored as Yuan Shang, Master Yang Hong, who was good at following people's influence, was no longer afraid of Yuan Tan's hatred. He just knelt down and kowtowed respectfully to Yuan Shao, the third prince of Yuan Dynasty, and said even more respectfully:

"The young envoy Yang Hong, governor of Xuzhou, on the order of his lord Tao Ying, the governor of Xuzhou, paid homage to General Chariot and Cavalry, the prefect of Jiyou and the three prefectures, Duke Yuan of Qixiang, and Duke Yuan Jin'an. This is presented to me by my lord Tao Shijun.

I would like to ask Mr. Yuan to read the meager gift list from Mr. Yuan and the letter from my lord to Mr. Yuan."

Yuan Shang went down to the hall in person, took the gift list and letter from Yang Hong, and handed it to Yuan Sangong with both hands. However, Great Yuan Sangong did not pick it up. He just asked Yuan Shang to put the gift list and letter on the table in front of him, and then he took his time.

He asked Yang Hong: "Yang Hong, aren't you the chief historian under my brother Yuan Shu? Why did you become the chief historian under Tao Ying again?"

This question did not trouble Mr. Yang Hong. As a former close confidant of Yuan Shu, Yang Hong felt that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were called brothers but were actually enemies. Therefore, Yang Hong replied without fear: "Reply to Mr. Yuan, the envoy did once

He served under Yuan Shu for a long time, but because Yuan Shu was tyrannical and unkind, acted against the will of others, presumed self-respect, and was a righteous man, all men and ghosts suffered from the same disease. As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to live in, good ministers choose their masters to serve, and envoys are unwilling to join in the evil deeds.

Therefore, he abandoned the dark side and joined the bright side, abandoned Yuan Shu and joined Tao Ying. Fortunately, Tao Gong accepted him and once again served as the governor of Xu."

Sure enough, when he heard that the traitor from his brother's family insulted his half-brother, Sangong Da Yuan, who was also not very broad-minded, was not only not angry, but also a little gloating. Yuan Tan next to him couldn't bear it anymore and jumped out and shouted: "Shut up, you

This Yuan family is rebellious, no matter how unvirtuous my uncle is, and he is my father's younger brother, how can I let you, a shameless villain, be so insulting?"
