Can I get to the other side?

Although Madam Liu was a woman, as Yuan Shao's first wife, she naturally understood the overall situation and the general situation. After hearing what Ju Su said, she realized the importance of the problem.

Gongsun Zan attacked, and Yecheng was in danger!

So she didn't hesitate at all, wiped her tears and asked directly: "What should I do? How can I help you rescue the general?"

Hearing Madam Liu's agreement, Ju Su was delighted and said quickly: "It's very simple. Now the city defense army has been deceived by the second son. As long as Madam goes to the city defense army commander and the city guard to explain the situation, let them lead the troops to rescue the general!"

"Now the three of us are trapped in the mansion. The only one who can convey the news to the outside world, convince the city defense army and rescue the general, is Madam!"

Madam Liu is now their last hope.

At this time, Shen Pei added, "In the next few days, the second son will come to the palace again to ask the emperor for an official position. When the madam goes out, take advantage of the second son's absence and lead the troops to rush to help!"

If Yuan Xi is at home, he may do something crazy when he is forced into a corner, so it is safest to take action when he is not there.

"I understand."

Madam Liu nodded, and then asked with some concern: "But if you do this, Xianyi will be fine, right? He... is my son after all."

Although she was very sad about Yuan Xi's killing of his brother, he was her own son after all, and she didn't want to see another son get into trouble.

Ju Su said seriously: "Madam, please rest assured, the second son was just bewitched by the traitor, it's not his fault, and we will all plead with the general when the time comes."

Madam Liu was completely relieved.

Afterwards, Ju Su and the other two carefully told her some details, as well as what to do after finding the city defense army, and then left with peace of mind.

…

Due to the threat of Gongsun Zan's attack, in order to protect the safety of Jizhou, Yuan Xi ordered in the name of Yuan Shao to appoint Yan Liang as the commander, and led Han Meng and Chunyu Qiong to lead the army to meet the enemy.

At the same time, he also began to plan to seek an official position.

"Since I don't have the majesty of my father to make the emperor afraid, I will do the opposite and treat the emperor with respect."

"This time I have prepared a lot of wealth and treasures to offer. As long as I can make the emperor happy, it will not be difficult to talk about the official appointment. I was too reckless last time."

Outside Yuan's mansion, Yuan Xi looked at the wealth and treasures that were loaded into the car by the soldiers, and thought to himself that he didn't believe that so many things could not impress the emperor.

The wealth and treasures filled ten carriages.

After the soldiers moved all the things, Yuan Xi said to the soldiers at the door: "When I'm not here, remember to strictly guard the General's Mansion and don't allow anyone to enter or leave."

"Especially keep an eye on Ju Shou, Shen Pei and Tian Feng!"

This time, Yuan Xi didn't plan to bring Ju Shou and others into the palace.

Last time he brought them, the emperor summoned Ju Shou, which scared him a lot; in order to avoid the same thing, he would enter the palace alone this time.

"Yes, Second Young Master!"

The gatekeeper replied respectfully.

Yuan Xi was relieved, then got on the carriage and went to the palace with a lot of wealth.

At this time in the General's Mansion.

Madam Liu also received the news of Yuan Xi's departure, so she immediately took the private seal and letter given to her by Ju Shou and others and walked out of the General's Mansion.

But she was stopped at the door.

"Madam, the Second Young Master has ordered that no one is allowed to enter or leave the General's Mansion when he is not here, please go back!"

The gatekeeper recognized Madam Liu, so his attitude was particularly respectful.

Madam Liu looked cold and snorted, "Who do you think you are? How dare you stop me? Your second son is my son! I am his mother and the General's Mansion is my home, and you still don't allow me to go out?"

The gatekeeper felt his scalp tingling, but still said, "The second son's order, I am just..."

"Get out! I want to see who dares to stop me!"

Madam Liu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and walked straight out of the mansion, not caring about the soldiers' obstruction at all.

After all, she was the mistress of the Yuan family. At this time, she wanted to force her way out of the mansion. Although the gatekeepers wanted to stop her, they did not dare to be rude and could only let her go.

After leaving the General's Mansion, Madam Liu took a carriage directly to the South Gate and found the South Gate Guard on the city gate tower.

"Why is my aunt here?"

The South Gate Guard saw Madam Liu and was surprised, and hurriedly got up to greet her.

Madam Liu said with a serious look: "Nephew, your uncle is in trouble. The real traitor is Yuan Xi. He killed your cousin Yuan Shang and imprisoned your uncle."

"Now Ju Jianjun, Shen Zhizhong and Tian Biejia are trapped in his house. Here are their seals and letters. You should quickly notify other city defense troops to go to the general's house to rescue your uncle!"

After hearing what Madam Liu said, the South Gate Guard took another look at the seals and letters in his hand. His expression suddenly changed, and only four words emerged in his mind.

Something big happened!

He did not dare to hesitate and immediately said: "Aunt, this matter is very serious. I dare not make a decision on my own. I will take you to see Xu Chengshou!"

"Okay!"

Madam Liu nodded and followed him out of the city gate tower.

The South Gate Guard sent people to notify the West Gate and North Gate Guards, and took Madam Liu to the East Gate. When they arrived, the other two gate guards had all arrived.

When Xu You saw the guards from the three city gates arriving at the same time and saw Mrs. Liu, he was startled and stood up and said, "Madam? What are you..."

Mrs. Liu said anxiously: "Ziyuan, the general has been imprisoned by Yuan Xi. The Ju Supervisor Army asked me to come to you and ask you to lead the troops to rescue the general while Yuan Xi enters the palace!"

"What?"

Xu You was shocked when he heard this, but what shocked him was not the news, but that Yuan Xi actually let Mrs. Liu leave the house and gave away the news!

How could it be so stupid!

The key is that all the three gatekeepers are here now. Even if he wants to suppress the news, he can't suppress it. The other three gatekeepers will not sit idly by and ignore it!

Seeing that Xu You didn't speak, Mrs. Liu felt a flash of caution in her heart and asked, "Why doesn't Ziyuan say anything? Does it mean you don't believe me?"

Before coming, Jushou had told her that one of the four guards was secretly communicating with Yuan Xi. If she wanted to be careful, it would be best to call all the guards together.

So she chose to find her nephew, the guard of the south gate, and then finally came to Xu You.

"Of course not."

Seeing the three guards looking at him, Xu You said in a hurry: "I was just shocked... In this way, several generals mobilized their troops to rescue the general. I will go into the palace to report to the emperor and ask the emperor to come forward."

At this point, the news about Yuan Xi's imprisoned father could no longer be suppressed, and troops had to be sent there, otherwise he would be suspected of being with Yuan Xi, but he could take this opportunity to enter the palace and quickly inform Yuan Xi about that guy.

"The hard work is far away."

Mrs. Liu's eyes lit up. She didn't want Yuan Xi to get involved in this battle. It would be great if Yuan Xi could be caught in the palace.

"Let's do it!"

Xu You nodded and hurriedly left the city gate tower.

The three gatekeepers also left separately.

General Ximen was walking on the way to the military camp, but his face was extremely ugly. He did not expect that things would develop to this point. Yuan Xi actually imprisoned the general!

"What should I do? I opened the city gate that day to let Yuan Xi into the city. It is not an exaggeration to say that I was his biggest accomplice. If the general escapes from trouble, he will definitely cause trouble for me afterwards. Then my life will be in danger. Safe!" General Ximen said worriedly.

If it was an ordinary situation, it would be fine, but this time the situation was too special, which directly led to the death of one of Yuan Shao's sons and several close advisors.

Yuan Xi is Yuan Shao's biological son and will definitely not die.

So Yuan Shao wanted to vent his anger and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. Without even thinking about it, he would definitely take action on his relative who was not in the third server!

The general next to General Ximen also had a fearful look on his face. He was the one who suggested opening the city gate that day, and he would not be able to escape even if they were reckoned with afterwards.

After some hesitation, General Pi pulled General Ximen aside and whispered: "General, the matter is now over. We have no other choice but to follow the second young master to the dark side!"

"We are going to inform the Second Young Master now and ask him to return home quickly. There are still 500 Tiger-Character Camps in the Second Young Master's mansion. All the brothers under our command also listened to you. When the war started, they suddenly turned against each other and helped the Tiger-Character Camp. If we resist the other city defense troops until the Second Young Master comes back, we may not have a chance!"

Yuan Shao cannot be let out of trouble no matter what.

Once Yuan Shao escapes, they will be finished.

Hearing these words, General Ximen's expression changed, but he only hesitated for a moment before he made up his mind and said to General Bi: "Then you quickly enter the palace to find the second young master. You must be there before Xu You. We can’t let the second young master be caught by Xu You!”

"promise!"

Pi Jiang responded with cupped fists and left in a hurry.

General Ximen turned around and headed to the Ximen City Defense Army Barracks. He needed to quickly explain to his soldiers that they would turn against each other when the war started.

…

royal palace.

After Xu You rushed to the palace in a hurry, he did not go into the palace to see Yuan Xi or Liu Xie immediately. Instead, he met Zhang He and Gao Lan first.

"Two generals, something big has happened!"

Xu You was panting from exhaustion, but he had no time to rest, so he anxiously said: "Yuan Shao's first wife, Mrs. Liu, told the city defense army that Yuan Shao was imprisoned. Now the city defense army is on its way to the general's mansion, preparing to rescue Yuan Shao. !”

"Yuan Shao absolutely cannot get out of trouble. It's too late to report to Your Majesty. I need the help of the Imperial Guard and the two generals! I am willing to bear all the responsibilities alone!"

Zhang He, Gao Lan and others were stunned when they heard this. They wanted to refuse, but seeing Xu You so anxious and it was related to Yuan Shao, they finally nodded.

"What do we need to do?"

Xu You pulled the two of them and whispered in their ears.

…

On the other side, after Yuan Xi presented all the treasures and property, he did not receive any reward except a faint "I love you so much" from Liu Xie. Naturally, his plan to seek an official position was also scrapped, and he could only bring him with him. Leaving the palace with regret.

As soon as he left the palace, a general came hurriedly on horseback.

"The second young master is in trouble! Something serious is going to happen!"

General Pi got off his horse, rolled and crawled to Yuan Xi, and said in a panic: "Your mother just went to find Xu Chengshou and other city defense generals, and said that you imprisoned the general in the mansion and let them go." The city defense army led troops to rescue!"

"My general has a close friendship with the Second Young Master and does not want to see you defeated like this, so I sent my junior general to inform the Second Young Master."

"My general said that he would lead the west gate defenders to defect at the last moment and join forces with the Tiger Battalion to resist the other three city defense troops. To delay your time, I also asked the second young master to return to the general's residence as soon as possible!"

Yuan Xi was horrified after hearing this. He never thought that despite all the precautions, he would be stabbed in the back by his mother and leak the news!

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

"How could it become like this!"

Yuan Xi was anxious and despairing.

Now in this situation, it doesn't matter whether he goes back or not. The news that his father Yuan Shao was imprisoned has been informed by the city defense army, and the matter can no longer be concealed!

Unless he threatens everyone with Yuan Shao's life as before, what's the use? He can no longer legitimately inherit the throne!

"Second Young Master! Second Young Master——!"

Just when Yuan Xi was filled with anger and confusion, and didn't know what to do, a shout suddenly came. He turned around and saw that it was Xu You running towards him.

When General Pi saw Xu You, he was shocked and said quickly: "Second Young Master, be careful! Xu You came to the palace to report to His Majesty and ask Your Majesty to take charge of the situation!"

When Yuan Xi heard this, he immediately became vigilant and quickly took a few steps back.

Xu You also noticed General Pi standing next to Yuan Xi. He recognized the one next to General Ximen at a glance and suddenly felt enlightened.

It turns out that the general at Ximen defected to Yuan Xi.

This way...you will be more confident.

Xu You looked away from General Pi and said to Yuan Xi eagerly: "Second Young Master, the matter of your father's imprisonment has been exposed. Before the general is out of trouble, you quickly follow me to the east gate and I will open the city gate. Let you go!"

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Xi and General Pi were stunned.

Didn't Xu You come here to arrest someone?

General Pi came to his senses and said immediately: "Second Young Master, don't believe him! I heard with my own ears that he wanted to go to the palace to report to Your Majesty so that you could be arrested. He must be lying!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Xu You snorted coldly: "What do you know? If I didn't say that, how could I find an excuse to leave? How could I come to the palace to inform the second young master?"

"If I really want to capture the second young master, I have already brought the imperial guards here. Why do I come here alone?"

General Pi opened his mouth and was speechless, because Xu You did come alone.

"Why do you want to help me, Uncle Shi?"

Yuan Xi frowned and asked, everyone else wanted to catch him and rescue his father Yuan Shao, but Xu You, as one of his father's most trusted advisers, actually chose to help him?

This is really unreasonable.

Xu You sighed: "With the general's ruthless methods, if you fail and are caught, you will not escape death. And I have watched you grow up, and I have long regarded you as my nephew in my heart. How can I watch you helplessly?" Are you going to die?"

"Second Young Master, please don't waste any time and follow me to the east gate to escape."

Yuan Xi couldn't help but be moved when he heard this. He didn't expect that among all the counselors under Yuan Shao, only Xu You was sincerely good to him!

For a moment, Yuan Xi couldn't help but burst into tears, and said with choked sobs: "Thank you very much, Uncle Shi, for your kindness, but...even if I escape from Yecheng, where can I go?"

"What's more, there are soldiers from Ximen and Tiger Camp fighting for me. How can I abandon them and run away?"

Yuan Xi was unwilling to accept failure.

He still wants to take a gamble!

"well……"

Xu You sighed, and then said: "Since the Second Young Master still wants to fight, I have a way, maybe I can turn the Second Young Master's defeat into victory."

"What can I do?"

There was a way to rescue him in this desperate situation. Yuan Xi was overjoyed and asked quickly.

Xu You's eyes flashed, and he said word by word: "Prince Guards!"
