Chapter 50 Am I Wrong?

He hadn't told Yuan Tan about Gao Lan's matter last night. It was a mess, let Yuan Tan worry about it.

Besides, the two had just formed an alliance, and Yuan Tan wouldn't do anything to him. But Yuan Xi didn't expect that something would happen to the people in the city!

He said to Wu Zhao, "You go inside and hide first, in case something unexpected happens."

Wu Zhao said softly, "When the nest is overturned, are there any unbroken eggs?"

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "That's true."

He suddenly remembered that these were the words spoken by Kong Rong's youngest son when he was killed!

It seems that this saying has been popular for a long time.

He led Wu Zhao and Sun Li towards the gate of the mansion and found the gate tightly locked. Zhao Yun and Qu Yi rushed over, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Yuan Xi thought for a while and said, "Open the door."

The people outside were making a lot of noise. When they saw the gate open, they couldn't help but retreat.

Yuan Xi slowly walked out. The people looked at each other, and gradually quieted down.

Yuan Xi cupped his hands and said, "Do you all have grievances?"

"Or have I, Yuan Xi, done something to let you down?"

The people looked at me and I looked at you, unable to speak for a moment. Finally, someone in the crowd shouted, "Is the Young Lord leaving?"

When the crowd heard this, they shouted one after another, their voices rising and falling.

Yuan Xi heard this and said, "I'm going back to my hometown for a while."

The voice sounded again, "Is the Young Lord not coming back?"

The crowd shouted again in a chaotic manner.

Yuan Xi stretched out his hand and pressed down, and the crowd quieted down again.

Yuan Xi said, "I will rush back as soon as possible."

"Before that, I will ask General Zhao and my elder brother to take care of this place on my behalf. Please rest assured."

He thought the crowd would be satisfied and disperse, but the expressions on everyone's faces became even more tangled.

Noisy voices rang out.

"What if the Young Lord doesn't come back?"

"Is the Young Lord going to abandon us?"

"Besides the Young Lord, who else will treat us so well?"

"Young Lord, please don't deceive us."

"We want to follow the Young Lord back."

"Wherever the Young Lord goes, we will go!"

"Wherever the Young Lord goes, we will go!"

Gradually, the voices merged into one.

"Wherever the Young Lord goes, we will go!"

The sound grew louder and louder, sweeping over the entire mansion like a wave, echoing in the sky above Beixin City.

In the room inside the City Lord's mansion, Yuan Tan and Xun Chen sat facing each other, listening to the surging cries, their expressions solemn.

Xun Chen sighed, "I still underestimated the Second Young Lord."

"Just this matter of popular support is no less than the Lord's demeanor."

Yuan Tan thought to himself, it's even more than that.

This second brother of his is not simple, he is also a threat!

He said, "Is Second Brother not wanting to leave, inciting the people to put on a show for us?"

Xun Chen shook his head, "It doesn't seem like it, and there's no need to."

"Moreover, the Second Young Lord should already know about marrying a daughter of the Zhen family. Although the Zhen family has declined, it has a lot of foundation and is a great help. The Second Young Lord will not fail to return."

"Although Madam and Young Lord Yuan Shang will definitely not let him get his wish."

Yuan Tan said in a low voice, "Why is Third Brother so afraid of Second Brother?"

Xun Chen said in a low voice, "This matter is quite secretive. I guess it may be related to certain prophecies, and the Second Young Lord's accurate prediction of the Rebellion of Ye City."

Yuan Tan said in surprise, "The Rebellion of Ye City? How is that possible!"

Xun Chen sighed, "I don't know how the Second Young Lord did it. Maybe there is an expert behind him."

"The Lord didn't believe it at first, but he made some preparations, so the Black Mountain Army was quickly repelled."

"In this way, Ji Province also has more troops to suppress the surrounding provinces, which led to Cao Cao's hesitation to send troops this year, and he has not attacked Xu Province for a long time."

"After hearing about this, the Lord often praised the Second Young Lord, which aroused the vigilance of the Third Young Lord."

"The Third Young Lord is in charge of Ji Province's affairs, and he secretly tampered with a lot of the support and food supplies in Beixin City."

"Of course, this should only be one of the reasons, and the reasons are not that simple."

Yuan Tan heard this and said, "Then shall we reveal the inside story to Second Brother?"

Xun Chen smiled and said, "Young Lord Yuan will know sooner or later after returning to Ye City. We don't need to intervene in such trivial matters."

"What I am worried about is, why did Gao Lan disappear?"

Yuan Tan nodded and said, "When I heard this news last night, I thought Second Brother was going to attack us."

Xun Chen said, "I was a little surprised at first, but then I thought about it, it would not be good for Second Young Master to attack me, and a thousand soldiers are nothing at all."

"The secret agent in the military camp reported that Gao Lan left the camp on his own. He should have discovered something urgent."

"Gao Lan is loyal to the Third Young Lord. He is also shrewd. He did not use troops, otherwise the eldest son and the second son would sue the Lord, saying that he has different intentions, which would be detrimental to the Third Young Lord and leave a bad impression."

Yuan Tan agreed, "Gao Lan did respond appropriately and quickly, which should have caused a lot of trouble for Second Brother, but I don't know what the result will be."

Xun Chen said, "There are two possibilities."

"One is that Gao Lan ran away, and the other is that he was stopped."

"If it is the former, the Second Young Lord would not be so calm."

"So Gao Lan is very likely to have been killed."

Yuan Tan worried, "Gao Lan is just a martial general, it doesn't matter if he dies, but will Second Brother take the opportunity to harm us and put the blame on us?"

Xun Chen smiled and said, "It shouldn't, the benefits of joining forces with the eldest son are far greater than one Gao Lan."

Yuan Tan breathed a sigh of relief, "This second brother of mine puts a lot of pressure on me. I can't guess what he's thinking."

Xun Chen thought to himself, me too! Yuan Xi has changed so much in the past three years!

I hope that the cooperation between Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi is not seeking skin from a tiger.

Yuan Tan looked at Xun Chen, and suddenly his confidence returned.

He also has many counselors to support him, so why be afraid of a lonely Yuan Xi?

His real enemy is Third Brother Yuan Shang!

The struggle between him and Yuan Shang will damage the strength of the Yuan family to a certain extent, but as long as they compete for the top spot, they can integrate the Yuan family and compete for world domination!

Now the Yuan family's power is established. Except for Yuan Shu, who is still a threat, who else can compete with the Yuan family?

Second Brother is sensible and withdrew first. In the future, he will give him a state, which can be regarded as worthy of him.

He must hold this world in his own hands!

At this time, the voices of the people outside the mansion were louder than ever.

"Please take us away, Young Lord!"

Zhao Yun and Wu Zhao had not been in Beixin City for a long time. Seeing this scene, they were very touched. They did not expect Yuan Xi's prestige in the city to be so high!

Wu Zhao thought to himself, Yuan Xi thinks about cultivating his reputation all day long, isn't this already half done?

Reputation among the gentry is reputation, and reputation among the people is also reputation!

Having a reputation among the gentry can gain the support and attachment of the gentry, and obtain counselors and money and food.

And having a reputation among the people can gain the support of commoner generals and soldiers, because most of them come from the people.

How to balance the two and then compete for world domination is a question that a prince must consider.

For the people of Beixin City, it is of course best for Yuan Xi to stay, but if he wants to focus on competing for world domination, he must leave and go to Ye City to plan.

But if he cannot give the people a satisfactory reason, he will greatly lose the hearts of the people in Beixin City and affect his future reputation.

Qu Yi, Zhao Yun, Wu Zhao, Sun Li, and Yuan Tan and Xun Chen, who were watching coldly, all wanted to see what Yuan Xi would do.

Yuan Xi waved his arms and shouted, "Please listen to me!"

The crowd slowly quieted down.

"You are all too much!" Yuan Xi shouted.

Everyone was stunned.

Is he angry?

Yuan Xi shouted.

"I'm already twenty years old!"

"At the age of twenty, your children can walk!"

"I'm not married yet!"

"I just want to go home and find a wife, is that wrong?"

"Is that wrong?"

Yuan Xi's shouts echoed in the city.

Everyone was stunned for a long time, then burst into laughter and shouted in unison.

"The Young Lord is not wrong!"
