"No."
Seeing that Yuan Shang was so shocked, Gongsun Ming laughed to himself secretly, but he had a serious expression on his face.
"That……"
Yuan Shang was right. During the several wars with Youzhou, he had always stayed behind in Yecheng. Naturally, it was impossible for him to have met Gongsun Ming. If Gongsun Ming came to Yecheng in private to spy on him, then it would be even more unreasonable. It was a joke, but the problem was that Yuan Shang couldn't understand that he had disguised himself as a scholar in white clothes. He thought that there should be no flaws in his body, so how could he be seen through by Gongsun Ming all of a sudden.
"Oh, although there are many talented people in our Hebei land, I'm afraid there are not many who can get into the eyes of Brother Ziyuan. As for those who can make Brother Ziyuan be called a young hero, there are even fewer. I really think Apart from the Third Young Master, who else is there?"
As far as Gongsun Ming is concerned, it is not difficult to guess that Yuan Shang will visit in private. The reason is very simple. This guy is currently fighting with Yuan Tan. The support of both sides is equal, and neither of them has a chance of winning. In comparison, Yuan Shang actually He is still in a disadvantaged position, without him, just because he is only the third son. In the face of the traditional convention of passing on the line to the elder, it is Yuan Tan's fault that he is incompetent and made a big mistake. Otherwise, Yuan Shang would have to seize the position of heir. There are not many possibilities at all. If you want to break the situation, the easiest way is to seek foreign aid. It is strange for Yuan Shang not to think like this when Gongsun Ming sent generous gifts. Of course, these principles are not It is not enough for outsiders, and all Gongsun Ming can say is some compliments.
"General Gongsun has been praised too much, Shang, but Fang is just a man in white clothes. He really does not deserve the general's praise."
Although Yuan Shang had the intention of attracting Gongsun Ming as a foreign aid, in fact, considering his family background, he actually did not like Gongsun Ming who was full of warriors. Otherwise, he would not have conducted a private visit incognito. I came here just to see if Gongsun Ming is suitable for me. If I can, I can win him over in the future. If not, I should abandon him like a pair of worn shoes and never even meet Gongsun Ming again. But now Gongsun Ming As soon as Ming showed such a wise and elegant look, Yuan Shangke really didn't dare to look down upon him, and when he returned the gift, he showed a bit of politeness and appreciation.
"It doesn't matter if the Third Young Master calls me Wuhui, or he calls me by his real name first, but he always calls me General. I'm really worried."
The key to whether he can get out of Yecheng this time lies in the master in front of him. How could Gongsun Ming not try to get closer to each other? Of course, fawning and the like are completely useless. The trick of waiting and playing against Yuan Shang may be effective for a short time, but it will never be hidden from the discernment of the counselors behind him. On the contrary, it is easier to open the heart of this person if he acts haphazardly. It is precisely because of these thoughts that Gongsun Although the affection shown by Ming was true, it was not a sign of fawning over a superior, but a warm connection between peers of similar status.
"That's right. It's just that brother Wuhui always calls Shang the Third Young Master. It's just a bit too outsider. I'm happy to call Shang "Brother Xian Fu" but not happy. There's no harm in calling someone by his real name first."
As soon as he heard Gongsun Ming's frank and natural words, Yuan Shang felt a sense of intimacy in his heart. There was no one else. Regardless of his noble status, there was always no shortage of flatterers around him. But when it came to being able to There are no equals. In other words, he has not had a single friend in his life until now. The lack of friendship is serious. It is rare to meet a handsome person of the same age and family background as himself. Yuan Shang is naturally Not wanting to miss it, he frowned and replied in Gongsun Ming's tone.
"Ha ha……"
As soon as Yuan Shang said this, he felt it was funny and couldn't help but burst out laughing. Coincidentally, Gongsun Ming also laughed out loud almost at the same time, and the relationship between them instantly became closer to that of a close friend...
"My lord, I have something you don't know whether to say or not?"
Since they are close to each other, after a banquet, it is natural that the guests and hosts are in full joy. When the banquet was about to end, the drunken Yuan Shang just staggered away accompanied by Xu Youzhi, who was also drunk. After the song ended and everyone left, a song accompanied them. Wang Heke couldn't hold his temper anymore. He came to Gongsun Ming's side and whispered something in a low voice.
"Yushan, don't say anything. I know it well. Although I am useless, I am the key to breaking the situation for Yecheng and his party this time. Let's just coax him away. It is a matter of life and death. Yushan should keep it secret and don't let it out."
There was no need to listen. Gongsun Ming knew that Wang He's celebrity disease was probably coming back. In all likelihood, he couldn't stand Yuan Shang's hypocrisy and frivolity. In this regard, with Gongsun Ming's wisdom, how could he not have his own Judgment, as far as he is concerned, this "pig teammate" is absolutely indispensable.
"promise."
Wang He is a famous person in Bohai Sea, and his vision is naturally very high. He can't look down on Yuan Shang's rhetoric. He originally wanted to warn Gongsun Ming not to be misled by him, but seeing that Gongsun Ming didn't want to talk more about this matter, he didn't dare to say more. Luo Su, after responding respectfully, immediately stepped aside...
"Report to the eldest young master. I have found out that the third young master drove to Julu yesterday and had a private banquet with Gongsun Ming for a long time. What they talked about is unknown."
Yuan Tan felt unhappy when he woke up early in the morning. He was painting in his study to soothe his anxiety. Suddenly, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and a henchman rushed in from outside and gave him a hand. Brought some not-so-good news.
"Hmph! Go and invite Mr. Xin and Mr. Guo to come over immediately and say that I have something important to discuss."
Upon hearing that his third brother actually went to secretly meet with Gongsun Ming, Yuan Tan couldn't help but shake his hands, and a large amount of ink immediately fell on the rice paper, immediately making a complete picture of a tiger descending the mountain. Destroyed and angry, he couldn't help but slam the pen on the painting. After pacing back and forth in the study for a few steps with his hands behind his back, he squeezed out an order from his teeth.
"I've met the eldest son."
Not long after the confidant left as promised, Xin Ping and Guo Tu came hand in hand. When the two of them saw Yuan Tan's gloomy face, they were both shocked. After looking at each other, they were not in a hurry. They didn't ask questions, but all rushed forward, each paying no hesitation.
"You two gentlemen arrived just in time. I have just received the information. Yesterday my third brother secretly went to Julu and had a secret meeting with Gongsun Xiao'er. The evil deeds of the thieves and chieftains were committed here. I plan to tell someone to tell my father. Do you think this is feasible? ?”
Yuan Tan was upset and was too lazy to talk about those useless pleasantries. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said with a ferocious expression his plan to sue Yuan Shang...
