    The lamps were lit in the hall, the charcoal fire was burning red in the copper basin, and the wine and vegetables were fragrant.

    "Although this place is in the countryside, there are also some excellent dishes." Xun Sheng personally presented a plate of dishes to Yuan Xiang with a smile on his face, "Young master, let's try this duck gizzard, it can't be tasted anywhere else."

    Yuan Xiang said "um", picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, but was absent-minded, and only looked out of the room.

    Xun Sheng naturally knew what was on his mind, picked up the jug and poured wine into Yuan Xiang's cup.

    "I would venture to guess that the third young master must come here today to see Aru?" He lowered his voice.

    Yuan Xiang's eyebrows moved.

    "What nonsense." He said lightly.

    Xun Sheng hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes." As he spoke, his face was still smiling, and he continued to persuade him to drink.

    After two glasses of wine, Yuan Xiang glanced at Xun Sheng and said, "Where is Aru?"

    "She's in the backyard, with her wife." Xun Sheng said earnestly, "My wife and sister love to read on weekdays, but they are also stupid and have no interest in reading. Seeing that the young master is such a happy husband, even if he loves it in his heart  , and dare not violate the teachings of the sages, and stay far away."

    Hearing this, Yuan Xiang's eyes flickered.

    "Oh?" he said, "is that true?"

    Xun Sheng said: "It is true."

    Yuan Xiang showed satisfaction on his face, smiled wickedly, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

    Xun Sheng hurriedly filled the cup for him again. Seeing that he looked happy, he lost no time in leaning forward: "Third Young Master, I heard that the First Young Master and the Second Young Master have led the troops to Bingzhou. When will the Third Young Master leave?"

    Yuan Xiang glanced at him and said, "Why do you ask this?"

    "I want to do the work of dogs and horses for my son." Xun Sheng looked sincere, "The current situation, King Guangling has died of illness, and his soldiers and horses, even if they hold out in Bingzhou and Shuofang, they will be at the end of the road, and they will collapse sooner or later.  In this world, sooner or later it will belong to King Chen, and sooner or later it will belong to the Yuan family. The son is both civil and military, and he is the most loved by the Marquis of Shouyang, no one knows. Now is the time to make achievements, and the son must not be left behind."

    Yuan Xiang continued to take a sip of wine, with a sneer.

    Yuan Xiang naturally understood the meaning inside and outside the words.

    His father, Yuan Guang, had four sons.  The eldest son, Yuan Zhong, was born to Yuan's consort Jiang; his second wife, Ji, had three sons, Yuan Li, Yuan Xiang and Yuan Liang.

    Yuan Zhong was not liked by Yuan Guang, Yuan Li was mediocre, and Yuan Liang was underage.  And Yuan Xiang is most similar to Yuan Guang, no matter in temperament or appearance, so the one Yuan Guang likes the most at the moment is Yuan Xiang.

    Ji placed high hopes on her three sons and wanted them to inherit the family business.

    Yuan Xiang has always regarded himself very highly, and he wants to compare with the above two elder brothers, especially the eldest son Yuan Zhong.

    "What's the rush?" Yuan Xiang said unhurriedly, "You also know that King Guangling's troops are powerful, even if they retreat now, they may not be able to take advantage of them in a real fight. Let the two of them go charge  , to test the waters, if it really retreats, it won¡¯t be too late for me to chase after it.¡±

    Xun Sheng responded repeatedly, but showed a look of hesitation, and said: "But if the other side really retreats, the first opportunity will be in the hands of the eldest son and the second son. Wouldn't it be too late for the third son to go?"

    "How can it be late?" Yuan Xiang had a plan in mind, "They are just in command, but who is the real leader?"

    Xun Sheng suddenly understood.

    The main force attacking Bingzhou and Shuofang was Ji Huai, the governor of Jizhou.  And Ji Huai is the elder brother of Yuan Xiang's mother, the Ji family.

    Xun Sheng frowned: "Third Young Master, General Ji has already stood by Third Young Master's side?"

    Yuan Xiang smiled triumphantly: "Don't worry, I will go there when the situation ahead is clear. At that time, you will be my deputy general, and you will definitely have a share of the court's rewards for meritorious deeds."

    Xun Sheng was overjoyed, and immediately saluted Yuan Xiang: "Thank you, my lord!"

    Zhao Ru and Zhao Mei sat in the room in the backyard, looking outside, anxious.

    Not long after, Lao Ge, the manager, finally came over with a cautious look.

    "How?" Zhao Mei hurriedly lowered her voice and asked.

    Lao Ge said: "Everything is fine. Xun Lang and Mr. Yuan are eating in the hall, and all the people under his command are in the front yard. No one has noticed the abnormal situation in the back yard. The villain asked A Ping to stay behind the hall, and someone came over  Just block it back."

    Hearing these words, the expressions on Zhao Mei and Zhao Ru's faces relaxed a little.

    "Don't worry, ma'am and mistress." Lao Ge comforted him again, "Your Highness is doing very well there.There was no trace left, even the horses and carriages in the stables were withdrawn to the woods behind early in the morning, so no one would notice.  "

    Zhao Mei sighed: "Although this is the case, I still can't let it go. Xun Lang is also true. He didn't come sooner or later, but he chose today and brought Yuan Xiang with him."

    Lao Ge said: "Ma'am, Xun Lang came here, did he want to take Madam back?"

    "Even if he comes to pick her up, my sister can't go back." Zhao Ru said suddenly.

    Zhao Mei was startled and looked at her.

    I saw her calm expression: "My sister has been terrified these days. What is the reason for doing this big thing? The Xun family followed Yuan's rebellion. Once the emperor returns to the court, he will definitely not be able to get around them. Xun Sheng treats his sister harshly, ruthlessly,  Moreover, the sister's children need to be protected by the sister, so don't be confused."

    Speaking of children, Zhao Mei's eyes moved, and she bit her lip.

    "I know." She said, but hesitated, "But what if he insists on taking me away?"

    Zhao Ru said: "I will help my sister"

    Before he finished speaking, suddenly, the voice of the servant A Ping came from outside: "Young master! This is the inner courtyard, you must not"

    The voice was immediately interrupted by Xun Sheng's scolding, and everyone in the room was shocked when they heard it.

    Zhao Ru and Zhao Mei hurried out, only to see Xun Sheng and Yuan Xiang coming to the backyard.

    Yuan Xiang was obviously a little drunk, and his steps were a little weak. When he saw Zhao Ru coming out, he stared at her with both eyes, and smiled lewdly.

    "What is this for?" Zhao Mei hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

    Xun Sheng smiled and said: "Mr. Yuan is drunk, I will take him to the wing to rest."

    Zhao Ru frowned, and said: "There are also wing rooms elsewhere, this is the courtyard of the women's family, how can you bring outsiders to trespass?"

    "Outsider?" Yuan Xiang suddenly laughed when he heard this.

    But he saw him push away Lao Ge who came forward to help him, and walked towards Zhao Ru.

    Zhao Ru was taken aback and wanted to dodge, but Yuan Xiang rushed up and grabbed her sleeve.

    Zhao Mei turned pale with shock: "My lord, what are you doing?"

    She wanted to step forward to stop her, but Xun Sheng also grabbed her and scolded: "Young Master Yuan is Aru's fianc¨¦, what are you talking about!" After that, he pulled her and walked out.

    Zhao Ru was dragged into the house, screaming, kicking and hitting, Yuan Xiang remained motionless, but slapped her backhand.

    "Bitch!" He snorted coldly, "Who do you think you are, what kind of famous lady do you pretend to be, I am willing to marry you because I have a crush on you, and I don't know what is good or bad!"

    Zhao Ru was in tears, her hair was scattered on her shoulders, and she continued to resist while crying.  Yuan Xiang was furious, and was about to fight again, when suddenly, a shadow flew over.

    The hand that was holding Zhao Ru was slapped down, Yuan Xiang felt the pain, and then let go.

    Before he came back to his senses, the man had already held Yuan Xiang's arm backwards.  Yuan Xiang immediately yelled, and was firmly pressed to the ground by the man.

    Zhao Ru was still in shock, so she looked intently, and only then did she see the man's appearance clearly.

    But it was the leader Kuai.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
