Under the same night sky, some people are happy and some are sad.

Just as Chen Gong, Yanzhou was walking into the military tent with concern, there were people in Yecheng hundreds of miles away who were excited and couldn't help but be happy.

"Hahaha!"

A hearty laugh filled the study, with long echoes surrounding the beams.

This is the study room behind the main hall of the General Mansion of the Cheqi General in Yecheng. Usually, only Yuan Shao enters and leaves, and no one else can take a step without permission. Otherwise, it will inevitably lead to Yuan Shao's thunderous anger and severe punishment, even Yuan Shao's three sons are no exception.

"squeak---"

A gentle push to the door came into Yuan Shao's ears, and his brows moved slightly, and the laughter suddenly came, and he quickly curled his smile.

After looking up, Yuan Shao nodded slightly and said softly: "Xianyi is here, sit down and talk."

The person named "Xianyi" is nothing else, but Yuan Xi and Yuan Xianyi who survived from the death of Wuji City in the previous episode.

After getting Yuan Shao's approval, Yuan Xi closed the door casually, stepped forward quickly to salute, and then sat obediently on the left side of the front desk.

"Why did Xianyi come here late at night?" Yuan Shao asked indifferently.

Yuan Xi, sitting upright, lowered his head and did not dare to look up at his father Yuan Shao's cold expression. After hearing the cold question, he was stunned and lost his mind. Suddenly, an indescribable bitter taste filled his heart, making him feel heartbroken and miserable inside.

The blood-connected father-son family relationship is so cold that it is so cold!

It is true that Yuan Shao has three sons, but he prefers his youngest son Yuan Shang. He has no obvious tendency between his eldest son Yuan Tan and his second son Yuan Xi, and he treats him equally. However, since the migration of Wuji Zhen family, Yuan Xi is indeed grateful for his death. But in addition to being glad, Yuan Shao was resentful about the affairs of the Zhen family and took his anger on Yuan Xi.

Therefore, after Yuan Xi fled back from the wilderness, Yuan Shao became increasingly disliked him. The father and son rarely met. Even when they met, Yuan Shao's attitude was extremely cold, his words were ugly and his face looked ugly, and he seemed unwilling to say something to Yuan Xi.

In this way, Yuan Xi's situation in the car and cavalry general's mansion became increasingly difficult, and it was not as good as before. Even the butler Yuan Fa always looked at him, as if he would be unlucky when he said something more to him. Even if he was like this at home, there was no need to say much about the civil and military generals in Jizhou, they naturally ignored the existence of the second young master Yuan. When they met him, they either turned a blind eye or turned their heads and looked elsewhere and walked away quickly. It seemed that Yuan Xi was a plague god, and no one was willing to chat with him.

In this way, after Yuan Xi fled back from Wuji City, he was in a very difficult situation and an extremely awkward position. No one wanted to get close to him. Even if he couldn't escape, he just smiled and said "Second Young Master". Then he escaped. In the past three months, Yuan Xi has been an isolated existence in the General's Mansion of the Carriage. He was blunted during the day and had nightmares at night, and had no taste of food, suffered hardships, and was worse than death. He had tasted all the bitterness, had enough eyes, and tasted the coldness of the world in the world.

There is a saying: Only by knowing shame can one be brave.

Regardless of whether Yuan Xi was willing to work hard or not, the reality forced him to have no way out. Even if he pretended, he had to show a diligent and hardworking attitude. Otherwise, if this continues, even the slaves and maids would dare to ride on his second son Yuan's head and do whatever they want, and there would be no place for him to stay in the general's mansion in such a huge carriage.

Therefore, in the past three months, Yuan Xi has been very diligent and hardworking. He practiced martial arts during the day and studied hard at night. He hid in his own independent courtyard and stayed away. It was completely different from the previous playboy life of more than ten years, and it was completely different from the previous two. However, someone would report this abnormal behavior to Yuan Shao, but it had little effect. Yuan Xi still couldn't see his father's good face, and he was still the declining "Second Young Master Yuan" who was ignored.

Now, his father Yuan Shao is over 50 years old and his three sons have grown up one after another. Three years ago, when Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou and became a prince, the three young masters of Yuan privately accumulated connections and strength. Originally, Yuan Xi also had a group of people. Although he was not his father's favorite son, he did not suffer any neglect and lived a comfortable life.

However, his trip to Zhongshan brought him back to his original form, and everything he had disappeared in an instant, his status suddenly took a sharp turn, and a group of people who were originally close to him abandoned him. At this moment of crisis, if he could not win the appreciation of his father again, then he, the second son of Yuan, would gradually disappear from the sight of everyone, and would completely lose the qualification to compete for the position of crown prince and become an optional outsider.

Therefore, there is not much time left for Yuan Xi to restore the declining situation. After this period of time, his weight in Yuan Shao's mind will become lower and lower, and he will be gradually forgotten by his father and will never make a breakthrough.

Therefore, Yuan Xi hesitated for a while, and finally pleaded with the bullet and took advantage of the late night when the crowd was quiet, he begged the old butler Yuan Fatong to report, hoping to meet his father Yuan Shao alone. The butler Yuan Fa couldn't resist his perseverance and sluggishly. Finally, he pleaded for him because of his past love. This is how the father and son meet tonight.

This was the second time that the father and son met alone in three months. Apart from reporting to their father on the night of escaping from Wuji City, Yuan Xi had no chance to talk to his father alone since then, and even seeing his father was an unrealistic luxury.

Yuan Xi has really lived enough of this kind of life that life is worse than death, and he really can't stand it anymore.

"I heard that my father was rectifying the troops and sent troops to the Central Plains, the child wanted to volunteer to follow his father to fight. The matters of the Zhen family were all because of the incompetence. He missed the great opportunity to rob Li Li's thief in vain. He was harmed by him without hesitation. Now his father is about to lead a large army to attack Li's thief. As a son, even if he gave up his life, he would die on the battlefield and vowed to take revenge. I beg my father to give him a chance to avenge his shame. Instead of letting me live like this, it would be better to fulfill his ambition to avenge his shame. If I could share my worries for my father, die on the battlefield, and the child would die without regrets!"

This is what Yuan Xi has been thinking about for a long time. This is the real intention of his father.

As the son of Yuan Shao, Yuan Xi knew his father's style and temperament well, far more than Yuan Shao knew about him. He knew that his father Yuan Shao had always been cold on his outside and warm on his inside. He looked like a strict father's face, but in fact he was still tolerant and kind in his heart. After all, he was poisonous and did not eat his son. Just like this time when the Zhen family was involved, Yuan Shao was extremely disappointed with him. Afterwards, he was furious and scolded him sternly, but the result was only to let him think about his mistakes behind closed doors and no longer participate in military and political affairs, and he did not impose severe punishments on him.

Yuan Xi had never thought about these things before, nor had he deliberately thought about his father's thoughts and temper. The reason why he did not think about it was not that he could not have thought about it, but that it was unnecessary. However, this disaster and he fell into this, it made him learn from his pain, reflect seriously, and repeatedly guess his father's temperament, so that he could prepare some speeches with great targeted nature.

At the same time, after Yuan Xi finished speaking, he felt very nervous, not knowing whether he had figured it out correctly, nor whether this statement was useful. Because after hearing this, Yuan Shao's expression did not change at all, and he seemed unmoved, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep without hesitation, and remained silent. This made Yuan Xi's originally determined plan shake instantly, and he was wandering in his heart. His heart was raised to his throat, unable to go up or down, and he kept his breath and kept silent. He kept his eyes open and kept paying attention to the changes in his father's face.

At this moment, the seemingly ordinary night talks of fathers and sons are not worth mentioning at all for countless fathers and sons in the world. No father and son don’t talk together. However, for Yuan Xi, the father and son meeting is directly related to his future and even to his future and destiny. If Yuan Shao can give him a chance to return to the army, even if he does not make much contribution on the battlefield, as long as he does not make mistakes again, he can recover the mistakes of the Zhen family and regain everything he has before. If Yuan Shao does not allow him to go to the army, then Yuan Xi’s life will be over and will not be loved by his father. He has any future to say, and he can only sit and wait for death and live a mediocre life.

"Xianyi, your injuries have been healed, right?" Yuan Shao suddenly spoke in a gentle tone after a while.

Yuan Xi was happy when she heard this and immediately replied respectfully: "Thank you for your care. My child has been cured. Recently, he has been practicing martial arts every day and his body is much stronger than before."

"Well, that's great." Yuan Shao nodded slightly, showed a faint smile on his face, and said in a harmonious voice: "It's not embarrassing to be defeated by Li Zhe. He was angry for a moment before. He blamed you for your mistake, and made you wrongly wronged."

"Father, child,,,,,,," Yuan Shao's words moved Yuan Xi so much that the depressed and tormented three months surged into his heart, and at this time they were all vented. Suddenly, Yuan Xi burst into tears and couldn't speak.

Yuan Shao waved his hand gently and signaled that Yuan Xi didn't need to say much. Then he sighed with emotion: "Li thief is indeed extremely powerful, and it is reasonable for Xianyi to be defeated by him. Just now, Cao Mengde secretly sent Xiahou Dun, and the brothers of Xiahou Yuan led more than 300 dead soldiers from the family to rob and kill Li thief. The plan was very thorough, and there were only three followers around Li thief. As a result, more than 300 dead soldiers were all killed by Li thief, and Xiahou Dun died under the sword of Li thief. Xiahou Yuan was severely injured and died half a month ago due to serious injuries.

The Xiahou brothers are the most highly valued capable generals under Cao Cao's command. They are brave and good at fighting and are extremely brave. In his early years, they had witnessed the powerful strength of the Xiahou brothers. Compared with Zhang He, our Jizhou, the two generals Gao Lan were not inferior, and even more so. Unfortunately, the two powerful generals died tragically at the hands of Li Zhe, which shows that Li Zhe is extremely brave and hard to match. Therefore, it is not embarrassing that my son was defeated by him!"

Yuan Xi nodded subconsciously, looked very excited, and immediately stood up and knelt down and said, "This time my father went to war, the child is willing to be a front pawn, and let his father send him!"

Yuan Shao smiled and nodded, and casually flipped a stack of secret letters on the table with his right hand. His smile became stronger and stronger, and he seemed full of confidence and was sure to win. Forcibly suppressing the joy in his heart, he said with a smile: "My son has this ambition, and I am happy to see it happening for my father. Now the plan to send troops is ready. I just wait for the opportunity to arrive, and immediately move the troops westward to form an alliance with all the princes to eliminate the Li thief in one fell swoop!"

After saying that, Yuan Shao couldn't help laughing out loud, and Yuan Xi was also infected by his father's smile and then burst into laughter: "Hahaha----!"
