The next day.
Yuan Xi woke up from his sleep and immediately felt an intense pain. He couldn't help but frown.
"The price I paid this time was too great. I almost got myself killed. I just don't know if I achieved my desired goal.”Yuan Xi was about to get up from the bed.
Before Yuan Xi could get up, Zhen Mi, who was sleeping beside the bed, was woken up.
Yesterday, Yuan Xi was woken up by the doctor and fell asleep again after the treatment.
Yuan Xi's injuries were quite serious, so he had to stay in the General's mansion. Zhen Mi didn't leave his side and didn't sleep much the whole night. She had been taking care of Yuan Xi.
"Husband, you're awake? How did it feel? Do you want the doctor to take a look at you again?”Zhen Mi asked with concern.
Yuan Xi looked at the haggard Zhen Mi with bloodshot eyes. He couldn't help but feel sorry for her."Didn't I tell you not to panic in advance? How did he end up like this?”
Zhen Mi immediately cried.
"Sob sob sob ~ You still dare to criticize me. You didn't say anything and wanted to seek death. Husband, if you die, what should I do…Sob, sob, sob…You caused me to be afraid, and you still blame me…"
"Ah! My head hurts!"
Zhen Mi wiped her tears in panic and immediately stopped sobbing.""Husband, what's wrong?"
"Phew ~" Yuan Xi let out a long sigh."I'm fine as long as you don't cry. If you continue to cry, your husband's head will explode."”
Yuan Xi finally understood that it was useless to reason with Zhen Mi. Now that he was a patient, he might as well use shameless methods.
Zhen Mi was furious, but after a moment of hesitation, she held back her anger and stopped crying.
"Mi 'er, be good. That's right. Help me call General Zhao Yun over. I have something to ask him.”Yuan Xi quickly put in a good word for Zhen Mi.
" Humph!" Zhen Mi left angrily. Not long after, Zhao Yun arrived alone.
"Did something big happen in the city?”Yuan Xi asked directly.
"Reporting to my lord, the government has posted a notice that last night, Zhao Wang Liu Gui was infected with a vicious illness and died suddenly in the residence.”
"The Great General ordered the King of Zhao to be buried with the etiquette of a noble. He also ordered the servants of the Imperial Residence to be buried with the King of Zhao.”
Yuan Xi smiled when he heard this. The more he laughed, the happier he became. In the end, he laughed until his wounds hurt, but he still didn't notice it.
" What are you laughing at?!" Zhen Mi pushed the door open and stared at Yuan Xi with an unfriendly expression.
" Hehe…" Yuan Xi laughed dryly. Seeing Zhen Mi carrying the breakfast, she tactfully didn't talk back.
"Did anyone notice what I told you to do?”Yuan Xi asked again while eating the breakfast that Zhen Mi had fed her.
"Don't worry, my lord. After your instructions yesterday, our brothers consciously concealed their faces when they did things.”
"Moreover, the soldiers in the camp are basically all from Youzhou. They are all unfamiliar faces in Ye City. No one will be able to find us.”
Yuan Xi nodded in satisfaction." Very good. Go to the housekeeper and get some money to reward the soldiers. Tell them that I'm very satisfied with this matter."”
"Thank you, my lord."
"Go ahead."
"I will take my leave." Zhao Yun left the room.
Only Yuan Xi and Zhen Mi were left in the room.
"Husband, what did you ask General Zilong to do?”Zhen Mi asked curiously.
Yuan Xi rubbed Zhen Mi's little head, but Zhen Mi's hair made a mess again.
"It's not that I'm hiding it from you. I think these things are too dark, so I don't want Xiao Mi 'er to know. Do you understand?”
"Okay, then Mi 'er won't ask anymore." Zhen Mi nodded obediently.
The thing that Yuan Xi had instructed Zhao Yun to do yesterday was to let Zhao Yun bring his soldiers to spread rumors in the city!
Yuan Shao only knew that the rumors were spread by Liu Gui, the King of Zhao. However, what Yuan Shao did not know was that Yuan Xi was also involved.
The rumor was indeed spread by Liu Gui, but Liu Gui only had people spread it to benefit the third son, Yuan Shang.
And those vicious words about Yuan Xi had nothing to do with Liu Gui.
As for who released the malicious words about Yuan Xi, it was naturally a good show directed and performed by Yuan Xi.
Before leaving, Yuan Xi had assigned Zhao Yun the task of bringing his men to spread rumors, and it was bad rumors about him.
A battalion of 2,000 people, as well as their families, began to spread rumors in Ye City.
Moreover, this kind of gossip about wealthy families spread very quickly.
Hence, there were two kinds of rumors in the city. One was praising the third son, Yuan Shang, and the other was scolding the second son, Yuan Xi.
Yuan Shao subconsciously thought that these two rumors were definitely the work of Liu Gui, the King of Zhao.
The King of Zhao, Liu Gui, was trying to pave the way for the Third Prince and kill the Second Prince to help the Third Prince eliminate a competitor.
However, the truth was that Yuan Xi had deliberately spread the rumors to mislead Yuan Shao and push the sh * t on the King of Zhao.
Third Brother Yuan Shang's uncle's family was too powerful, so powerful that Yuan Xi could not deal with them at all. Thus, he could only kill them with a borrowed knife.
Moreover, this saber had to be sharp enough. Otherwise, it would not be able to cut down the King of Zhao.
In the entire Jizhou, the only knife that could cut down the King of Zhao, Liu Gui, also knew about Yuan Xi's father, Yuan Shao.
After borrowing Yuan Shao, he would be able to get rid of Third Brother's powerful assistance!
Otherwise, with a big shot like Liu Gui, the King of Zhao, who was focused on promoting Yuan Shang as a 'filial son,' Yuan Xi would not be a match for him no matter what, even with the Zhen family's help.
Therefore, Yuan Xi decided to bet with his own head on Liu Gui's head!
Either he rammed into the pillar and died, and the King of Zhao, Liu Gui, was buried with him!
If Yuan Xi survived, Yuan Shao would settle the score with him, and the King of Zhao, Liu Gui, would be at least half-dead, unable to provide any help to the third son, Yuan Shang.
From the current results, it seemed that Yuan Xi had made the right bet. Yuan Shao had already put the blame on the Zhao King, Liu Gui. Today, the Zhao King had died of a serious illness, and the effect was very good.
As for whether the rumors about Yuan Xi were spread by the King of Zhao, or whether the King of Zhao would defend himself, Yuan Xi was not worried at all.
People were only willing to believe what they wanted to believe!
Yuan Shao was no exception. Yuan Shao would only believe his own judgment. Even if the King of Zhao, Liu Gui, defended himself, Yuan Shao would only think that he was quibbling.
Moreover, the King of Zhao, Liu Gui, did not even bother to explain himself last night because he had no idea what had happened.
Liu Gui thought that it was only right and proper for him to help his nephew spread the name of filial piety, and it was also a good thing for Yuan Shao. He openly admitted that he had done it.
However, what the King of Zhao, Liu Gui, did not know was that not only were there rumors spread by him, but there were also rumors spread by Yuan Xi.
With King Zhao admitting it, his head immediately moved.
When Yuan Xi got Zhao Yun to start spreading rumors, the matter was already decided.
Yuan Xi had personally written the script, directed and acted out it himself, putting on a good show of self-destruction. His goal was to use Yuan Shao's hands to get rid of the third son, Yuan Shao's uncle, the elder brother of the Liu family, the King of Zhao, Liu Gui.
Weaken the enemy's strength!
The next step was to increase their strength.
