System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

What's more, in terms of foundation, the Xun family, which has been passed down for several dynasties, is actually better than the Yuan family.

It's just that the Xun family was a little embarrassed in the Han Dynasty where Confucianism was the only orthodoxy, which led to their failure to suppress the Yuan family.

After all, there is a slight connection between the Xun family and the Legalists.

The next day, the army set out again.

Dong Yu and his colleagues proved through their actions that when people are moving, their bodies do not feel cold.

Even though I slept around the campfire all night yesterday, I still felt cold.

But when the war horses started running and the people took quick strides, the coolness quickly dissipated, and instead they felt so hot that they started sweating.

At dusk that day, Dong Yu led his men to Dingling, sixty miles southeast of Xiangcheng.

"My Lord, I will personally enter the city. Please wait here for my news."

Xun You bowed and said to Dong Yu.

"Zilong, follow Gongda and make sure he's safe."

Dong Yu nodded and gave orders to Zhao Yun without hesitation.

"promise!"

Zhao Yun clasped his fists and accepted the order.

It’s not that Dong Yu was worried that Xun You would run away, but he was really afraid that something might happen to him.

After all, he only has two advisers, and one of them is a scoundrel who won't speak unless you force him.

Xun You is much more reassuring, because firstly, he is not a sinister person, and secondly, he is more proactive in offering suggestions.

After watching the two of them leave, Dong Yu and his men started eating dry biscuits on the spot.

After leaving the army, Xun You and Zhao Yun rode fast horses into Dingling.

As soon as they entered the city, the two men quickly headed towards the city center.

"We're here. This is our destination."

Xun You pulled the reins and said to Zhao Yun.

"Du Mansion?"

Zhao Yun dismounted and looked at the plaque on the gate of the mansion.

"Yingchuan Du family."

"Please inform Du Zixu that Xun You is here to visit."

After Xun You spoke to Zhao Yun, he said to the servant at the door.

"But he is from the Xun clan of Yingyin?"

Upon hearing this, the servant immediately bowed in return and asked at the same time.

"Exactly."

Xun You nodded.

"Hold on."

After the servant said this, he quickly ran into the mansion.

Not long after, a man in his late twenties came out.

After seeing Xun You, the man smiled.

"Brother Gongda!"

"How are you?"

Du Xi smiled and bowed to Xun You.

"Fortunately."

"I came here this time to find you for something important."

Xun You smiled and nodded, then spoke seriously.

"Follow me into the mansion."

Du Xi immediately understood and led Xun You and Zhao Yun into the mansion.

The three of them entered the main hall, and servants immediately came to serve them tea.

"Brother Gongda, what's the matter with you coming here?"

Du Xi asked curiously while holding the tea bowl.

Xun You drank a sip of hot tea and immediately felt warm all over.

"I came to ask you something."

"Have you heard about the recent trade between Yuan Shu and Dong Zhuo for food, fodder, and war horses?"

Putting down the tea bowl, Xun You asked.

"I heard that you serve in the imperial court. Could it be related to this matter?"

"Gongda, with your talent, why do you serve the thief Dong?"

Du Xi asked in confusion.

"Please watch your words!"

Zhao Yun, who had never spoken before, suddenly raised his eyebrows and shouted.

The killing range of Dong the thief is too large.

He could ignore Dong Zhuo, but not Dong Yu.

In Zhao Yun's heart, Dong Yu is a good brother, not the thief Dong that everyone despises.

A loud shout made Du Xi and Xun You stunned in place.

I never noticed before that Zilong is a bit fierce.

This word "biao" is not a derogatory word.

"Zi Long."

"He didn't mean it."

Xun You hurriedly spoke to comfort Zhao Yun.

"Zi Xu, don't say anything else. I came here just for this matter."

"If you know any information, please tell me the truth."

Xun You turned his gaze back to Du Xi and said with a fist salute.

"Ugh."

"You also know that Dingling is still dozens of miles away from Xiangcheng."

"I don't know the truth either."

"However, ten days ago, a large-scale battle took place near Dingling, and a large amount of scattered money and grain was taken north by Yuan's army."

"From this, we can infer that even if Xiangcheng doesn't have all the money, food, and supplies, it must have a large portion."
