In the evening, when Yan Qing hosted a banquet for Yuan Xi, he couldn't help but look at him a few more times in secret because of his recitation of Cao Zhi's famous "Luoshen Fu" and his wife, Zhen Mi, who had an outstanding appearance.
As we all know, Yuan Shang, the third son, was the most favored because of his handsome appearance, which was quite similar to his father's (history says that Yuan Shao had a dignified appearance). It is not surprising that Yuan Xi was not favored by Yuan Shao because of his mediocre appearance.
But from the heart, his eyebrows both literati weak, but also not lose the martial arts heroic, at this time in the enemy camp, fortune and misfortune is not yet expected, the heart should be anxious, but also to maintain the face without a depressed color, is really rare.
The Yuan family is a prominent and famous family, but the son and daughter of the extremely bad, but from the first generation from the legacy of the problem. Yuan Xi is the only one of Yuan Shao's three sons to understand, but also only mortal wisdom and talent, in the selfishness of the elder brother and younger brother persevered in the death, can not escape the sibling rivalry implicated, just like a mayfly shake the tree, and ended up in death.
What Yan Qing appreciated was that when he fled with his brother to Gongsun Kang in the province of Jinzhou, he realized that Gongsun Kang wanted to use their heads to show Cao Cao's goodwill, and sighed when his younger brother Yuan Shang, not knowing that his death was imminent, demanded a seat with a big grin and said, "Where do I need a seat when my head is going to be sent to Cao Cao, who is thousands of kilometers away? "
Yan Qing thought of this and could not help but feel a little saddened. He thought that this extra attention was not traceable, but he did not think that his relationship with Lu Bu was not what it used to be. If Lu Bu used to have his eyes glued to Yan Qing, now his heart is unceremoniously attached to him, where would he miss his special attention to Yuan Xi?
Lu Bu was silent, glanced thoughtfully at Yuan Xi, slowly raised his wine bottle, his lips against the rim of the cup snorted lightly, abruptly tilted his head back, and drank the clarified liquor in one go.
And see Lu Bu potential reception attitude is not friendly and cordial, but also not cold and slow treatment, always keep the waist straight Yuan Xi, can not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, his breath in the end too early to let go: a burst of cup exchange, Yan Qing faintly smiled, unhurriedly opened his mouth, asked is asked many questions, the tone is also gentle and friendly, but half a day did not touch the main points, only as if unintentionally circling the wagons.
Yuan Xi in history is a only dying to appear a little colorful, generally still a flash of a small role, if placed in the game, the data at best is the lower level, where is this even Guo Jia Jia can occasionally be pit, straight to the opponent of the fox Yan Qing is a 10,000 years into the spirit of the fox.
The worst part was that with Yan Qing's knowledge of him, it was only more so than any opponent in this world who was an enemy of the Yuan family.
When the spirit has to maintain a high degree of tension, the test of psychological quality will also rise with each passing day. Yuan Xi at any time and place to prepare to deal with Yan Qing's problems, even if the dishes are sumptuous, he just do not know what to eat, the feast performance in the middle of the rule.
What he didn't know is that he had stepped on a number of language traps laid by Yan Qing without realizing it, and had been set off with a few baskets of information about Yuan Shao's potential, to say the least.
However, Yuan Xi was not favored, and what he himself knew was quite limited, and after Yan Qing had pretty much emptied his mind of anything of value, he inevitably lost interest, turning from the warmth and pleasantness of a spring breeze to the perfunctory coldness of an autumn breeze.
Yuan Xi only thought that he had accidentally answered something wrong, only to provoke a change in the attitude of the famous scholar Yan Qing, who had been praised, and responded with more and more fear and trembling, and thought twice about it.
It was not easy to wait until the end of the banquet, he was relieved to present the letter written by his father in person, and watching Lu Bu take it, he had only accomplished half of the mission of this trip.
The disoriented Yuan Xi was led to the guest tent to rest, waiting for Lu Bu to think about what to reply.
Lu Bu used more light and thin paper improved by Yan Qing, and then when he weighed the bamboo slips, he was inevitably a little uncomfortable, shook his head, and did not open it, but directly handed it to the military priest sitting beside him, and faintly complained, "How can Yuan Benchu be so stingy, and even the heavy light paper can not afford to use it?"
Yan Qing took it in his hand with faith, just unraveled the fine cord, and before he could unfold it, he caught an odd word, and could not help but gaze at it, raising his eyes to Lu Bu and repeating incredulously, "Heavy Light Paper?"
It shouldn't be what he thought it was.
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, before he could speak, Guo Jia couldn't help but laugh out loud, gracefully shook his fan, full of gloating and began to count his family's treasures: "Chongguang actually still don't know? Not only is there heavy light paper, there is also heavy light wine, heavy light plow, heavy light dam, heavy light house, heavy light pavilion, heavy light dumplings ......."
Even clearly is Zhang Zhongjing's invention of the delicate ear can not escape a robbery: because it is initially wrapped in lamb foam and herbs, for the treatment of disease, but it is Yan Qing will be 'a different way', the filling replaced with pork and cabbage, coupled with a delicious soup, is full of irresistible temptation, the popularity of a while.
Now even that fluke was dashed.
Geez!
Although the use of Cai Hou paper, Zuo Bo paper, read it never felt anything wrong ...... But once the title of this new thing, without consent, was placed on his head, so that his name also became a household name along with the thing, Yan Qing really can not stand it.
Alongside those real scientists without knowing it, although unless there was a second traveler in the world, no one would ever know the unpleasant truth, Yan Qing always felt that it was as shameful as if he had been made public for stealing the wisdom of his forefathers in secret.
Enduring the torture of his conscience, Yan Qing couldn't help but hold his forehead in despair and let out a sigh, and simply relocated his anger to the innocent Lu Bu: "Since the Lord knew about this, how could he just sit back and do nothing about it, letting them stir up trouble?"
Guo Jia shook his head, and spoke up for his lord, with a staccato voice: "This is clearly the people's love for Chong Guang, so they did it on their own initiative, how can we blame it on your lord, and make it his fault that he can't stop the mouths of all the people? Besides, the other people can't get what they want, can be immortalized for a hundred years of beautiful things, Chongguang established this merit, why to some praise to avoid like a snake scorpion?"
Lu Bu didn't squeak.
The wood had been turned into a boat, and it was too late for Yan Qing to do anything about it. It was only then that he realized how his name could spread so quickly to the north and south of the river and become widely known.
It's the powerful effect of pro-branding!
Enjoying the benefits brought about by these, Yan Qing again had a headache, but only to ignore this crop, while resolving that before tossing out anything new in the future, he would first allow Lu Bu to title it, and then allow it to be promoted, while sighing helplessly, "It's just that it's just that the main thing is important."
After reading Yuan Shao's book at a glance, just in case there was anything missing, Yan Qing slowed down and read it from the beginning once more, unable to help but frown, handing it to Guo Jia and letting him read it himself.
Slightly sideways, on Lu Bu's probing line of sight, immersed in thought Yan Qing froze for a moment, quickly reacted to his own is the first to pass the purpose, put aside personal feelings regardless, he can be said to have Lu Bu unreserved respect and trust, but then the letter to Guo Jia, really is not the subject should be for the thing.
He had a thought, not wanting to disturb Guo Jia's thoughts who was fully concentrated on reading the letter, he simply leaned to the side, came to Lu Bu's ear, and lowered his voice to explain: "Yuan Shao's letter, it's fine if you don't read it, Your Excellency. This letter from Yuan Shao is just some arrogant words to provoke your lordship, and he is explicitly urging us to stop fighting and return Yanzhou to Cao Cao as soon as possible. It is said to be a persuasion for peace, but in reality it is an invitation to war. It seems that Cao Cao, whom we have previously treated with courtesy, wants to find a reason to go on a crusade against us and divide up Yanzhou. Yuan Shao is certainly biased in favor of his youngest son, but he is far from abandoning Yuan Xi so viciously. He must not have thought about this matter clearly, and was deceived by the strategists who drafted this letter. ......"
With Yan Qing lips whispering, carefully persuade, Lu Bu only feel the original cold auricle was also warm breath blowing gradually hot, was with ambiguous and unknown charming penetrate into the marrow, straight call him pin. Soul intolerable, where still analyze to move.
It was only after a long time that he came to his senses, and passed Yan Qing's words properly, thought quickly, and then naturally held Yan Qing's hand, and earnestly said, "Luckily, we have a heavy light, or else Bu will surely fall into a trap today."
Yan Qing did not reply, only narrowing her eyes slightly, staring with warning at his hands that took advantage of the opportunity to make a mess.
Lu Bu froze for a while, before slowly loosening, coinciding with this time, Guo Jia also finished reading the letter, raised his head and sighed: "A parting for many days, brother Benchu is still not half a point on the use of human growth!"
Yan Qing knew all about Guo Jia's resume, and knew that he had served under Yuan Shao's command, but left because he could not stand the other party's shortcomings of pretending to be courteous and courteous, but in fact thinking too much, and having no power of decision. Hearing these words, I know that he thinks the same as himself, can not help but laugh: "carving small skills, how to be in front of the wisdom through the sky and earth Fengxiao show off?"
Guo Jia ignored Yan Qing's flirtation and said bluntly, "This is a borrowed knife to kill, want to borrow the Lord's hand to kill Yuan Xi also. Enough to prove that the Shao camp in the dark tide, the heart scattered not abandoned, brother discord, is the opportunity to take advantage of, can be utilized."
At the moment when the war is about to break out, to such a beautifully named persuasion of peace, in fact, provocative meaning of the letter, is not really playing to stir up the fire of the always irritable Lu Bu, kill the messenger Yuan Xi to vent their anger, so that the two sides completely torn face to face to fight to the death?
Yuan Shao is afraid of gullibly believing the words of the schemers who are all harboring evil intentions, otherwise, with his protective and indecisive nature, he will be biased again, but also the tiger will not eat the child.
Yan Qing nodded his head and said with a certainty in his tone, "It must be the work of Xin Ping and Guo Tu."
Although this has never happened in history, Yan Qing can judge it according to the relationship between the three brothers: after Yuan Shao's death, Xin Ping and Guo Tu supported Yuan Tan, the eldest son, to succeed the throne, while Feng Ji and Jian Hui were the ones who wanted the youngest son, Yuan Shang, to succeed the throne even if they had to change the last order. Yuan Xi, who had no intention or ability to compete for the throne, was a powerful force to be reckoned with.
Yuan Xi has always been only his father's head, even this time was sent to the dangerous place, but also only the heart sadly recognized. Yuan Shao has repeatedly shown the intention to establish Yuan Shang as the heir, Yuan Xi will voluntarily serve his brother as the master, and does not agree with Yuan Tan's internal strife for the fight for power and power as well.
After seeing his loyalty to Yuan Shao, Yuan Tan's faction naturally regarded him as Yuan Shang's armchair, and could not wait to get rid of him, so they would not talk about brotherly friendship and brotherly respect.
If Lu Bu beheaded the messenger Yuan Xi in a fit of rage, it would be tantamount to breaking Yuan Shang's arm in the fight for the throne, and allowing both sides to go to war, stirring up Yuan Shao's immortal grief and anger and revenge, and it would also be able to perfectly shirk his responsibility and get rid of the suspicion.
Guo Jia at least in Yuan Shao account stayed for a period of time, the heart of those who are fighting vaguely have a plan, can not help but loathe, but also lead to one of the reasons for his speed away.
Unexpectedly, Yan Qing has never stepped into the territory of Hebei, and even Yuan Shao's face has never seen, but it knows a lot about it, and it is easy and effortless, it is really incredible.
Guo Jia paused, and when he looked at Yan Qing again, he could not help but add a few more strange colors to his gaze.
Than in the coming year there will be a great drought this kind of nebulous foreknowledge, he valued this unparalleled insight, cut a practical expression of admiration: "Chong Guang know, wide and endless, no distinction between the great and the small, Jia is very admirable."
Yan Qing consciously but took advantage of the knowledge of history, half do not think that these speculations have any great, not expected to be really bullish strategist to praise to the sky, but his Lord also a deep thought, with the expression of honor.
...... is simply shameful.
