New Year's Eve has passed. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, although Wenwu drank a lot last night, he still came to the governor's house to congratulate him. Each of them brought a lot of gifts, which was a respect. Of course, Yuan Xi also returned them one by one, and gave them even more generously.

After the first day of the lunar month, there will be a two-day holiday, which will give the civil and military ministers a gathering with their families. Yuan Xi will also invite his relatives and friends. By the fifth day of the lunar month, basically the prefects and generals from all over the country are preparing to go back. After all, there are still many things waiting for them to deal with.

"Guo Ren, Yuyang is the most populous county in Youzhou except Guangyang. You have to work harder, especially Jiao Tu. If there is any rudeness, please forgive me. I will teach him a lesson after looking back." Yuan Xi looked at Tian Yu who was saying goodbye and said with a smile in the governor's mansion.

"Don't worry, General Jiao is generous and generous. It is Rong Xin of Yu who can work with General Jiao," Tian Yu replied with a smile.

"That's good." Yuan Xi nodded with satisfaction and said, "By the way, what do you think about Juxian Pavilion?"

"Yu thinks it is very good. Although the gentry has many talents, there are many poor families, and they do not have as many selfish intentions as they do. The marquis' move will inevitably be enthusiastic, making our Youzhou more prosperous," Tian Yu praised.

"Haha, okay, then the first thing you do after you go back is to implement this. After the order of the governor's office is issued, it will be spread throughout the command under your command immediately," Yuan Xi instructed.

"Okay, please rest assured"

After Tian Yu left, Li Ru walked in slowly and whispered: "Mr. Marquis, there is news in Yecheng."

"How is it?" Yuan Xi immediately became much more serious. He never believed that the sudden sense of crisis was just groundless or his own nervousness.

"Mr. Tian said that everything in Yecheng is stable at present and there is no intention," Li Rudao.

"Where are the eldest brother and the third brother?" Yuan Xi asked afterwards.

"The eldest son had already led his troops to Qingzhou on the fourth day of the lunar month, and the third son praised the young master at the New Year's Eve dinner, showing a deep brotherly love."

"Isn't there anything wrong?" Yuan Xi was a little unwilling to give up.

"After receiving the letter, Lord Tian attached great importance to it. Mao Xian had repeatedly investigated the residences of the ministers and found nothing to harm the young master, unless Li Ru suddenly frowned.

"Unless what?" Yuan Xi asked immediately.

"Unless there are outside forces who want to deal with the Marquis, so the black demon cannot find out for a while, then it will be so calm," Li Ru said seriously.

Yuan Xi stood up and nodded, "Yes, there is indeed this possibility. Xi has developed too fast during this period."

"It's too fast and too slow, it doesn't matter. Ru's most worried now is Mr. Yuan's attitude towards the marquis." Li Ru's face was a little worried.

"Father" Yuan Xi raised his eyebrows.

"Mr. Marquis, although you have been armed with more than 100,000 armor, you are still suppressed by a shackle. That is Mr. Yuan. Once someone is interested, he will start from this aspect and use Mr. Yuan's suspicious and guess-making personality, then the matter will be dangerous. His father's order is the great order of heaven. The Marquis will never reach the strength of Mr. Yuan now." Li Ru said seriously.

Yuan Xi clenched his fist and said, "Return to Uncle Tian immediately and ask him to pay attention. If there are any changes, please notify me immediately, or ask Mao Xian to act quickly and strangle the danger to death in the bud."

"promise!"

On the seventh day of the lunar month, at the tall Yecheng, at the north gate, a group of gorgeously dressed men rode high-headed horses and led a group of servants out of the city gate. Among them, Yuan Shang, who was extraordinary and heroic, rode a strong white horse and ran in front.

The group went straight to the north. After about half a stick of incense, a huge and dense forest emerged, and several paths extended into the woods.

"Whoever catches more prey today, Shang will give him the snow jade cabbage in the mansion," Yuan Shang announced loudly, and was very excited.

"good!"

"Young Master, be careful." Guo Yuan, who was strong, was by Yuan Shang's side and said carelessly.

"It's okay, my brother has left. Who else can threaten me in Yecheng?" Yuan Shang chose a pride and rushed in quickly.

"You guys follow me," Guo Yuan ordered to several guards.

"promise!"

When Yuan Shang came to a forest, he immediately found a snow-white rabbit in the grass. He smiled at the corner of his mouth and quickly took down the bow and arrow. Unexpectedly, the rabbit seemed to have seen it, turned around and ran quickly.

"Where to go?" Yuan Shang chased after him again.

"Young master, slow down, slow down," the person behind shouted anxiously.

Yuan Shang was very fast and disappeared in an instant. When he found the rabbit again in an open space full of fallen leaves, Yuan Shang carefully took out the bow and arrow. Just as he was about to shoot it, a figure suddenly flashed out from the grass next to him. Then the horse was startled and raised its horse's hooves. The figure fell to the ground in fear. He looked down and saw a middle-aged man with long beards and Taoist robe.

"Who are you?" Yuan Shang quickly stopped the horse and looked at the rabbit that was nowhere to be seen, asking in an unhappy tone.

However, after the man glanced at Yuan Shang, he suddenly rubbed his eyes in disbelief and actually knelt on the ground, "Small path to pay homage to the emperor"

After being stunned, Yuan Shang said angrily: "Bold, Shang is the descendant of the three kings of the four generations and the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, how dare you talk nonsense?"

"No, no, Xiaodao has learned some ways to look at fate. The young master's head is covered with clouds and mist, and there is a golden sun and a bright moon circling. It is obviously the emperor's aura!"

Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed across Yuan Shang's face, but he still said angrily: "It seems that you have some knowledge, but you should not lie in this way. If you hear it in the future, I will kill you. Get out of here!!"

"Nuo Nuo" the man hurriedly retreated, but while walking, he shook his head and said, "It's strange, why are the two emperors angry, one in Youzhou and the other in Yecheng?"

Yuan Shang, who was already preparing to leave, suddenly his eyes narrowed and he shouted: "Stop for me."

"Young master, what's wrong?" The man was shocked.

"What did you say just now?" Yuan Shang got off the horse and walked over with a very serious expression.

"The path didn't say anything." The man shook his head quickly

Yuan Shang immediately pulled out the sword on the horse's back and said coldly: "If you don't want to die, just say it quickly."

The man immediately knelt on the ground and said in fear: "The youngest came from Youzhou, and there is also a sage in the governor's mansion in Youzhou. Although it is a little different from the young master's, it is indeed developing vigorously, so the smallest doubts are actually two sages."

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows and said sternly: "Who are you? You dare to provoke the feelings between our brothers."

"No, no, Xiaodao doesn't know the two young masters at all, so how can he provoke me?" said the Taoist priest nervously.

"Then let me ask you, can I live in peace?" Yuan Shang's eyes were filled with a hint of expectation.

"I don't know this little one, but historical records show that the emperor's aura will only live to the death."

Yuan Shang's eyes flashed with a cold light and he murmured: "Second brother, are you really going to go against me?"

"Young Master, can I leave? Don't worry, I will never say it." The man begged with some fear.

Yuan Shang glanced at it and waved his hand gently. The man immediately turned around and prepared to escape, but just as he took a step, a sharp sword had pierced his chest.

"Only the dead can keep the secret," Yuan Shang said coldly.

After the man fell to the ground, he suddenly said with anger: "I tell you the truth, you killed me instead. I want to curse you. You must not be the opponent of the emperor of Youzhou, you will definitely lose."

"Bastard" Yuan Shang angrily pulled out the sword, and a splash of blood splattered on his embroidered robe, while the man struggled for a moment and did not move at all.

Yuan Shang looked at the dead Taoist priest, remembering what he said before his death, and after taking a breath, a sudden crisis arose in his heart. He put all his eyes on you, and indeed ignored the second brother.

Yuan Shang held the hilt tightly, suddenly got on the horse, and said proudly: "Brother is not my opponent, second brother, why should you compete with me? I want to see how you have developed."

"Hell!" Yuan Shang quickly left the forest directly, without any interest in hunting.

After a while, several men in black suddenly appeared next to the body.

"The first step was successful"

"It's a pity that a dead soldier was sacrificed, and each of them was finally trained."

"Their existence is for this moment, or for the last sentence. The military advisor said that details are the most important. Everyone will believe the words of the dead. Arrange it immediately and carry out the next step in two days."
