Chen Deng didn't bother to pay attention to him, and replied casually: "I will ask you to give me some pointers later."

"I'll forget it. I'm old, and I'm the head of the Yuan family. How can I compete with you young people. If you really want to train soldiers, go to my son-in-law Huang Yi. He is the first batch of students in the martial arts hall, and I will guide you. Still more than enough."

Chen Deng's face turned blue from choking, but he was speechless to refute.

In terms of family background, the Jiangxia Huang family is no worse than his Xiapi Chen family.In terms of talent and record, Huang Yi is also firmly ahead of him.What made him even more speechless was that three or five years ago, Huang Yi was still a scholar who didn't catch his eye.

The two came to the big tent of the Chinese army.Chen Deng was angry in his heart, neither let Yuan Shu sit in the chair, nor ordered anyone to serve food and drinks, completely treating Yuan Shu as an ordinary visitor.

Yuan Shu didn't take his seat, with his hands behind his back and his head lowered, he looked at Chen Deng intently.

Chen Deng's height was not as good as Yuan Shu's, and he was even shorter when he was sitting. Yuan Shu suppressed his momentum, and he was extremely aggrieved.He squinted at Yuan Shu, forced himself to be calm, and snorted.

"It's Junhou who wants to see me, not me."

Yuan Shu stopped smiling, and quietly looked down at Chen Deng. "If I knew you were so incompetent, I wouldn't worry about it." Before Chen Deng could speak, he said again: "If you can be like Xun Gongda, understand the current affairs, understand the general trend, and choose the master to serve you, I will praise you." A hero. If you are as stubborn as a judge and swear to the death, even though I will call you stupid, I still admire your integrity. You are not up or down, not advancing or retreating, and you are obviously kneeling, but you have a face of reluctance Yes, what's the matter?"

"You..." Chen Deng stood up, stretched out his hand and pressed the handle of the knife at his waist, his face was so red that it almost dripped blood.

"You want to kill me too?" Yuan Shu's mouth twitched. "The person who tried to kill me last time was Yuan Shao. You should have heard how he died in the end, right?"

Chen Deng was at a loss.

Yuan Shao also wanted to kill Yuan Shu?Why didn't you cut it?If you are indecisive, no wonder you can't get things done.

"I'm not Yuan Benchu." Chen Deng sneered, and slowly drew out his saber.The blade rubbed against the swallow's mouth, making a teeth-stinging rubbing sound.

Chang Nu was furious, and was about to step forward, but Yuan Shu stretched out his hand to stop him.

Yuan Shu looked directly at Chen Deng with a sneer of disdain. "Playing with me? Didn't you hear your father say my name? Back then, when I ran amok in Luoyang and played with others, you still peed and muddy. If you want to play with me, have your hair grown? ?”

Chen Deng glared at Yuan Shu, took a deep breath, and the knuckles of his hand holding the knife turned white.

Yuan Shu nodded, revealing a slight smile. "You are better than your uncle. When he betrayed me back then, he only dared to close the door, but he didn't dare to confront me. You dare to draw your sword, you have made progress. Chen Hanyu has a son like you. He didn't want to follow me back then, so he should Yes. It's a pity that you went the wrong way, not to mention revitalizing the family, honoring the lintel, and not even a chance to avenge your shame, so you can only go to Jiuquan Road and wait for Zhang He and Gao Lan."

Chen Deng's complexion changed, his hands tightened and loosened for a while.

Up to now, he is a little bit hard to get off.

It's okay to kill Yuan Shu, but what to do in the future?Yuan Shu's children will not let him go, and the emperor will be happy to see his success. Not only will he be executed, but the whole family will be affected.

But if you don't kill him, how can you swallow this breath?

Yuan Shu reached out and swept all the pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the table in front of Chen Deng on the ground, then sat up on it, raised his legs, and dusted the hem of his clothes slowly.

"Zhang He and Gao Lan are listed among the four court pillars in Hebei. Not everyone can be killed. Are you Guan Yunchang's force to kill Wen Chou in front of the battle, or do you have my resourcefulness to set up an ambush to kill Yan Liang, so you dare to take revenge without shame? Hehe, I see you It’s almost as good as giving someone’s head away.”

Chen Deng's eyes narrowed slightly, and the murderous look in his eyes became more and more intense, but the knife in his hand was not raised, but inserted back into the scabbard.

"I won't kill you." Chen Deng said with a sneer, "I want to keep you and let you see for yourself how I beat them, and I will avenge my shame."

"Then you have to work hard, don't make me wait too long." Yuan Shu curled his lips, with a half-smile. "Although you are a little stronger than your uncle, you are not as strong as you thought. You are still far from a real famous general."

Chen Deng dismissed it, and wanted to retort a few words, but he couldn't say it.

Yuan Shu is indeed useless, but it is an irrefutable fact that he ambushed Yan Liang and succeeded in the first battle.He boasted that he had both civil and military skills, and it was an unconcealable defeat to be completely annihilated by Zhang He and Gao Lan.

This feeling...is too aggrieved.

If you want to prove yourself, you have to defeat Zhang Xi and Gao Lan, otherwise, even if you die, you will not be able to rest in peace.

"May I ask you, where is my uncle?" Chen Deng asked through gritted teeth.

Yuan Shu rolled his eyelids. "Are you begging me?"

Chen Deng narrowed his eyes slightly, with a murderous look in his eyes.

Yuan Shu dusted off his clothes again, and said unhurriedly: "If you ask for help, you have to act as if you are asking for help. What are you doing? Do you think you are being petty in front of your father? You really have no tutor. Sigh, who told me to You are friends with your father, and today I will teach you a lesson on his behalf."

Chen Deng was so angry that his lungs exploded, wishing he could kill Yuan Shu with a single blow.He gritted his teeth, turned around, faced Yuan Shu, and pointed out of the tent.

"Forget it, since Junhou doesn't want to talk, then I won't ask. Go slowly, sorry..."

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Shu stood up suddenly, slapped Chen Deng on the back of the head, and knocked Chen Deng to the ground.Before Chen Deng stood up, he took a step forward, stepped on Chen Deng's back, reached out and pulled out the long knife from Chen Deng's waist, put it on Chen Deng's neck, and smiled.

"Zhu Zi, turn your back on others from now on, where do you have the courage?"

Chapter 880 Words from the Heart

Chen Deng was so angry that just as he was about to yell, Chang Nu rushed over and stuffed a ball of unknown cloth into his mouth. It was sour and smelly, and Chen Deng almost fainted.

"What is this? It smells so strong." Yuan Shu pinched his nose and cursed with a low laugh.

"My sweat towel." Chang Nu said with a smile, looked around, tore off the tent rope on the side, and tied Chen Deng to the table.

"I went to your mother, is this a sweat towel? It smells worse than my foot cloth." Yuan waved his hand. "Go out and guard, so that no one will find out. I will leave after a few words with this scorpion."

Chang Nu went out of the tent and winked at the other companions.

These people have followed Yuan Shu for many years, and some of them were even wanderers who ran rampant in Luoyang together. Hearing the quarrel in the tent just now, they guessed that Yuan Shu would not let it go.Seeing Chang Nu coming out now, they knew that the inside had been settled, they just had to guard the outside, so that Chen Deng's subordinates wouldn't notice.

No need to explain, they just greeted Chen Deng's subordinates with smiles on their faces.

Chen Deng's subordinates also heard the dispute in the tent, but they didn't expect Yuan Shu to be so reckless that he had already restrained Chen Deng.Chen Deng didn't like Yuan Shu, and they didn't like Chang Nu, who looked like rascals at first glance. Seeing them approaching, they subconsciously moved away from the big tent.

In the big tent, Yuan Shu pressed Chen Deng in the box and stepped on Chen Deng's stomach with his feet.

"I'll let you go, don't scream, how about it?" Yuan Shu fiddled with Chen Deng's saber, and gave two thumbs-ups. "This knife is really good. It is a real hundred-refined Qing steel. When the first emperor built the eighth school in Xiyuan, every school captain had a good knife, and each had a name. Because I was not one of the eight school captains, I couldn't get one for fun. Playing, I have always regretted it."

Seeing Yuan Shu chattering endlessly, Chen Deng almost fainted, kicked his feet hard twice.

Only then did Yuan Shu react. "accepted?"

Chen Deng glared at Yuan Shu bitterly, and nodded vigorously.

Yuan Shu picked up the sweat towel with the tip of the knife, pulled it out of Chen Deng's mouth, and threw it aside. "It stinks, I don't know when he washed it."

Chen Deng was already feeling uncomfortable, but when he heard this, he suddenly felt his chest throbbing, and was about to vomit, but Yuan Shu pinched his mouth with quick eyesight and quick hands.

"Swallow it back!"

Chen Deng stared round his eyes, the eye sockets were almost cracked.

Yuan Shu looked serious. "What is this? Even if a real man loses his teeth, he still has to swallow blood in his stomach, and he can't be laughed at by others."

Chen Deng stared at Yuan Shu for a long while, his eyes changed a few times, gradually becoming fiercer, and he swallowed hard.

"That's right." Yuan Shu withdrew his hand, took out a silk handkerchief from his bosom, and wiped his hands carefully. "In this world, if you don't want to be humiliated, just like Fu Chai, you would rather die standing than live on your knees. If you want to endure, you have to be like Gou Jian, who will not hesitate to taste the shit. Be afraid Die and refuse to die, kneel and refuse to kneel, in the end, if you fail to live, you will suffer humiliation."

Chen Deng turned his head, not looking at Yuan Shu.

His mind was in a mess and he didn't know why it happened like this.

He didn't want to listen to Yuan Shu's words, but somehow felt that they made sense.

"Just like my son-in-law Huang Yi, he was so proud. Not to mention an ordinary martial artist, even if you are so powerful, he would not take a second look. But since he accepted his fate, he put all his pride Throw it all away, climb ice and snow with Lu Bu, and eat in the cauldron with the horse thieves. He survived and became a person he could never have imagined before."

Yuan Shu laughed and looked at Chen Deng. "Don't look down on him, you really don't have the qualifications. Not every scholar can do this, including you."

"How dare I look down on him, I feel ashamed." Chen Deng sneered.

"Well, although it sounds forced, it's the truth." Yuan Shu laughed and said, "To tell you the truth, I thought so before. But I don't think so now."

"Oh?" Chen Deng narrowed his eyes.

"This is the real soldier." Yuan Shu straightened his waist, put his hands on his knees, and sighed. "People are not sages, how can they be free from faults. If you can correct your faults, there is nothing good about it. Everyone will say this, but it is not easy to recognize your own faults. It is even more difficult to correct your faults. Among other things, Let you train with the soldiers, can you do it?"

Chen Deng sneered, "I'm in the army, practicing with the soldiers every day."

"Your so-called drill is just standing on the platform, waving the flag, and watching others practice." Yuan Shu shook his hand with a look of disdain. "Let you line up with them, perform martial arts together, practice archery together, even better than them, can you do it?"

"Wisdom lies in wisdom, not in courage..."

"You're so smart." Yuan Shu angrily interrupted Chen Deng's defense. "Do you think they really obey you? They are just afraid of your official position. Once you are dismissed from office, just like them, you can see if they will deal with you. But my son-in-law is different. Even if he loses his office, it is ordinary A pawn is still a pawn that no one dares to bully."

Yuan Shu clenched his fist and shook it in front of Chen Deng. "Others will, he will. Others will not, he will. So the soldiers under his command really obey him. He said to attack, no one will retreat. He said to retreat, no one dared to attack. If you fight against him, I'm afraid I don't even know how he died."

Chen Deng laughed angrily. "Since that's the case, why didn't the Son of Heaven appoint him as a general to take Yecheng directly?"

"Here, this is where you are stupid." Yuan Shu chuckled. "Do you think the Son of Heaven can't conquer Ye City? He just doesn't want to. His goal has never been the city, but the family."

Chen Deng's heart tightened, he was silent for a moment, and raised his eyelids. "If I remember correctly, the Runan Yuan family is not only an aristocratic family, but also a leading aristocratic family."

"That's right, my Yuan family in Runan is also a family. But thanks to the gift of the maidservant's son, my Yuan family has committed the crime of treason, and I have to sacrifice my arms to survive. I can't care about the land."

Yuan Shu sighed and patted his thigh. "But that's fine. If it doesn't break, it won't stand. My Yuan family was originally just a small family in Ruyang. It has been managed by generations of hard work, and it is now destroyed. But as long as there are people, it won't take a few generations to get up again. Among other things, the current Yuan family is at least stronger than when Duke Shao (Yuan An) first came to Luoyang."

Chen Deng rolled his eyes, remembering his original intention of wanting to see Yuan Shu. "Jun Hou only thinks about you, Yuan Shi, and doesn't care about those people who follow you Yuan Shi? They are all in the dungeon in Yecheng, waiting for someone to rescue them."

Yuan Shu stared at Chen Deng for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Zizi, you seem to have forgotten one thing."

"what's up?"

"They were blind at the beginning, and they were following the maidservant, not me. Now that the maidservant is on Huangquan Road, they should go together and continue to assist the maidservant, how can they steal a child? As for me, I will take good care of those who follow me Just be a human being, don't want to be too much trouble, and be a eight-chef who helps people in need. Oh, by the way, let me tell you about your uncle, after all, he was also my former official."

Chen Deng immediately held his breath.

"After I took control of Gu'an, I didn't kill him, but let him go. Since he didn't return to Xiapi, he should have gone to Yecheng. If he wasn't in Yecheng, he would have gone to Yangzhou. He had a very good talk with Liu Zhengli and Xu Zijiang. come."

Yuan Shu smiled slightly. "Of course, this is a smooth situation. The army is in chaos. If you encounter robbers, it is not impossible to die on the way. When he left Gu'an, there were only two child molesters by his side, and it seemed that they could not protect him. look."

Chapter 881 Driving on Ice

Chen Deng was shocked.

Although Chen Yu didn't take anyone with him when he fled to Jizhou, how could it be possible that he didn't have a trilogy and only two molesters when he was a captain in Gu'an for several years?

"If I'm not mistaken, you may have intentionally spread the news of his resignation." Chen Deng stared at Yuan Shu with tears in his eyes.He struggled hard, but Chang Nu was tied so tightly that he couldn't break free at all.

Yuan Shu smiled sinisterly. "You also think that his character is not good, and many people want his life?"

Chen Deng was at a loss for words.

Yuan Shu laughed loudly, patted Chen Deng on the shoulder vigorously, stood up, and walked out.Standing at the door of the tent, the sun came in, he narrowed his eyes, paused for a moment, then turned around and looked at Chen Deng in the shadows.

"If I want to kill him, I won't accept his surrender. To me, he is nothing, and he is not worth caring about. I thought you were someone, so I wanted to see it. Now it seems that it is nothing more than that .Even if your father and son were courtiers, it would be useless."

He raised his hand and strode out. "I'm leaving, you can do it yourself."

Chang Nu and others followed, embraced Yuan Shu, and walked away.

Chen Deng was so angry that he couldn't say a word, he just panted heavily.

His personal guards came in, and they were shocked when they found that Chen Deng was tied to the voucher and couldn't move.Someone stepped forward to untie Chen Deng, and someone rushed out to intercept Yuan Shu, but Chen Deng stopped him.

It was too embarrassing to be attacked by Yuan Shu in his big tent.

Yuan Shu is shameless, but he still has shame.

"Today's matter, there is a rumor, kill!"

The guards were silent, not daring to say a word.

-

After returning to Liu Bei's camp, Yuan Shu received the news from the Sangong Mansion that he was appointed as a general and a master craftsman, and asked him to go to Luoyang to take up the post.

Without further ado, Yuan Shu bid farewell to Huang Yi and rushed to Xingzai.

Yuan Heng received the news in advance, passed it on to Yuan Quan, and prepared his luggage for Yuan Shu.

Yuan Quan was a little worried.

Yuan Shu's task seems simple, just demolishing and repairing houses, but in fact it has far-reaching significance.He will cooperate with Liu Biao to uncover the abscess under Luoyang's once gorgeous appearance, expose the lies carefully covered up by the scholar-bureaucrats, and expose the truth of the chaos in the world.

If he is not careful, he will become the public enemy of scholar-bureaucrats.

Yuan Shu was very calm. "That's true, I am the most suitable candidate, who else is better than me?"

Yuan Quan smiled wryly.

Yuan Shu is indeed the most suitable candidate.The Yuan family in Runan, the four generations and three princes, is the representative of the scholar-bureaucrats. The Yuan family's violation of the system is obvious to all.Rather than being exposed by others, it is better for Yuan Shu, the head of the Yuan family, to expose it. At least the merits can be redeemed.

The emperor must have planned for a long time to choose Yuan Shu.

"In that case, let's go to thank you."

Yuan Shu washed up, changed into clean clothes, and went to the central army tent.

Soon, Liu Xie ordered someone to welcome Yuan Shu in.

After entering the tent, Yuan Shu was a little surprised.
