"Haha... Brother Wuhui, congratulations, congratulations!"
Just after the end of the day, not long after Gongsun Ming got up after a nap, Yuan Shang came to the door. When they met, Bu didn't even say a word of greetings, but just grinned and laughed non-stop. It was obvious that this The mood of the goods can be as good as it needs to be.
"Oh? Where does joy come from?"
Even though just one look at Yuan Shang's complacent look, Gongsun Ming knew that the big thing must have been decided by himself, and his tense heartstrings inevitably relaxed, but he didn't show it. Instead, he made an inexplicable expression of surprise. The ground asked a question.
"Ha, brother Wuhui doesn't know yet. My father has already agreed to the marriage between me and my little sister. He is planning to get engaged to me on a certain date. Hey, early this morning, old bastard Guo Tu tried to stop him. , but was scolded by my father, and was kicked out of the hall, haha... You didn't see it, Yuan Tan's face looked as smelly as if he had eaten shit, haha... I laughed to death as a brother. !”
Yuan Shang wasn't actually a talkative person originally, but he couldn't help being in a good mood today, so he naturally talked a lot more. He laughed and scolded Wuji wantonly. It was obvious that he regarded Gongsun Ming as one of his family members.
"That's it. Thank you brother for making it happen. I will keep this kindness and virtue in my heart forever."
Hearing what Yuan Shang said, Gongsun Ming's eyes suddenly lit up. He was not happy that the marriage could come true, but he was glad that his strategic purpose of delaying time had finally been realized. No one else had experienced the baptism of the information explosion era in his previous life. , Gongsun Ming is not a person who can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman. Besides, he and Yuan Mei have only met once, and there is really no relationship at all.
"Well, brother, I have taken these words to heart. Oh, speaking of it, the one I really want to thank is my younger sister. If my younger sister hadn't forced her to die, my father would not have approved this marriage. Brother, in the future Don’t let me lose my little sister.”
After getting along with each other for many days, Yuan Shang had already introduced Gongsun Ming as a confidant, but he didn't mind if Gongsun Ming thanked him or not. At this moment, he even forgot about the matter of seizing the legitimate son, and only hoped that Gongsun Ming would treat his children well. sister.
"Brother, don't worry. I will never let you down."
Even though Gongsun Mingcheng's mansion is as deep as the sea, when he heard that Yuan Mei actually fought with his life for him, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. Without him, it is the most difficult to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman. Since ancient times, it has always been like this, when thinking about the future Going into a decisive battle with the Yuan family, Gongsun Ming had mixed feelings in his heart, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time...
"My eldest son, my lord has suddenly changed his mind. Now that the engagement is imminent, things may be difficult. We must make preparations in advance."
While Gongsun Ming and Yuan Shang were laughing and chatting, Guo Tu was also advising Yuan Tan, with a look of dissatisfaction on his fat and white face. He was obviously thinking of the humiliation he had suffered during the morning meeting. .
"Um……"
Speaking of irritation, Yuan Tan was more angry than Guo Tu, but certainly not less angry. You must know that the price he spent to win over Yan Liang and Wen Chou, two important generals in the army, was extremely high. Years of savings were almost all gone, and he finally gained an absolute advantage in the battle for the right to inherit the throne. However, as Gongsun Ming was won over by Yuan Shang, everything was back to square one. This made him feel embarrassed. The problem was the overall situation at the moment. It seems that Yuan Tan has decided that he is unwilling to give up and has no other options.
"My eldest son, Ming Jian, I have a plan to prevent that little Gongsun from returning to Youzhou!"
Guo Tu hated Gongsun Ming very much. Not only did he suffer a big loss at Gongsun Ming's hands the previous time, he also blamed Gongsun Ming for the humiliation he suffered this morning. In order to get rid of Gongsun Ming, Guo Tu I have risked my life.
"Oh? If Gongze has any clever ideas, just tell him first."
If he could successfully cut off Yuan Shang's arm, Yuan Tan would not hesitate to pay some price. When he heard Guo Tu said that he had a clever plan, his spirits immediately perked up, and he immediately asked.
"The first plan is to make Li Dai Taojiang. The eldest son can give advice to the lord, saying that Youzhou is bitterly cold and far less dry than Yecheng. For the sake of my little sister's happiness, Gongsun Ming should be kept in Yecheng until he gets married. As for Youzhou Zhou Mu, you can choose someone else to replace you. Both the left and right are the same family, so there is no need to separate each other. If Gongsun Xiaoer agrees, the eldest son can take Yan Liang and go to Youzhou to take over, and kill Gongsun Xiaoer in one fell swoop. If he doesn’t respond to his request, then it’s Gongsun Xiaoer who harbors evil intentions and should be punished!”
Guo Tu was lacking in the overall situation and strategic ability, but he was very good at plotting and plotting. With just a slight turn of his eyes, he came up with a vicious plan.
"Well, what Gongze said makes sense. This strategy can be tried. However, if the third brother insists on opposing it, there is no guarantee that his father will not be moved by it. If so, what should he do?"
Yuan Tan's eyes lit up when he heard that Guo Tu's plan was very good, but because Yuan Shang was involved in it, he could not guarantee that Yuan Shao would listen to his advice.
"As for the second strategy, it is a decisive strategy. When Gongsun Xiaoer was on his way back to Youzhou, the eldest son could pretend to be a Black Mountain bandit and rob and kill the beast. But when Xiaoer died, everything was over. Even if the master finally learns the truth, he will never embarrass the eldest son too much."
Guo Tu didn't expect that his first strategy would be successful. After all, with Yuan Shang here, there were too many uncontrollable factors, so he just planned to give it a try. It didn't matter whether it succeeded or not. He was just making his own comments, and there would be no consequences. Regardless of the actual loss, what he really wants to contribute is the second strategy, that is, the decisive strategy.
"Huh... well, since that guy is ignorant, let's just give him a ride!"
Yuan Tan is a decisive person. For his own great cause, he will not care about the happiness of his little sister. Anyone who blocks his way is an enemy. When it is time to kill, Yuan Tan will not care about his little sister's happiness. There will be some ambiguity...
"Third Young Master, General Gongsun, my lord, please ask General Gongsun to go to the house immediately to discuss important matters."
There were still nearly ten days before the engagement. Although Gongsun Ming was anxious to return to Youzhou, he had no choice but to stay in Yecheng. To ensure that everything was safe, he basically stayed with Yuan Shang every day. Together, they were almost inseparable. It was an accident. However, some things obviously cannot be prevented by being on guard. No, just when Gongsun Ming and Yuan Shang were having a banquet in the back garden of the other courtyard, they suddenly A general from the Yuan family's army suddenly rushed over.
"I'm tired, I'll go right away."
When he heard that Yuan Shao invited him to go alone, Gongsun Ming's heart immediately moved, but he didn't hesitate at all and stood up immediately.
"Wuhui, wait a moment. I'll go with you."
Yuan Shang obviously realized that this invitation might not be that simple, and he stood up because he was afraid that Gongsun Ming would suffer a loss.
"Third Young Master Haihan, my lord only invites General Gongsun."
As expected by Gongsun Ming, the guard general declined Yuan Shang's company without hesitation. As soon as he said this, Yuan Shang's face immediately darkened...
