However, he did not continue to be overbearing, and instead, his attitude became extremely friendly. Using Guo Jia as an excuse, he quickly closed the relationship between him and Xu You, and his methods of fighting and then pulling Xu You closer were already extremely proficient.

Xu You had always felt that he was a genius, but unfortunately, although Yuan Shao trusted him now, he had never given him actual authority. He could not help but grumble in his heart. At this moment, compared to the treatment of this "junior" Guo Jia, Xu You's heart was even more resentful. When he spoke to Gongsun Xu, he was even more gentle and respectful.

When Zhang Yan and the others heard this, their throats couldn't help but move. When they looked at the bloody meat pieces placed in front of them, they suddenly felt that if they compared them with what Xu You was saying, this was not something a human could eat.

Gongsun Xu snorted, "Mr. Xu has seen too much! I have heard that the recipes of the South Vietnamese people are a mess. There is a famous dish called the Dragon and Tiger Battling, which kills a colorful tiger and a giant python, and after peeling and cleaning the meat, it is placed into a huge cauldron with a radius of three meters. After which, the entire tiger is placed into a cauldron with a radius of one meter and is slowly stewed with various ingredients.

Zhang Yan and the others were already salivating when they heard this. Let's not talk about the dragon and tiger duels whether they can eat or not, just the words' zhenyin to replenish the yang, to prolong lifespan 'was enough to make them yearning for it.

"There is such a good thing?" When the young duke sees Wen Guangbo, this old man is ashamed! " Xu You exclaimed, he felt that he had lost some face, and rolled his eyes as he smiled and asked: "I wonder what the Young Marquis thinks of the beauties of my Great Han Dynasty?"

"I would like to hear the brilliant ideas of the Mr. Xu first."

"The women of the north are as fierce as fire, but most of them are weak in their hearts, like irritable rouge horses that will be gentle as water once tamed; the women of the south, on the other hand, are soft on the outside, strong on the outside, gentle on the outside, tame on the outside, but they are tough on the inside. I have heard that the women of the north commit suicide after being abandoned by their husband, while the women of the south go to the government to complain."

"What is this?" When the women of Japan encounter this kind of situation, some even kill their own sons and kill themselves, it could be said that they are the most malicious of women! " Gongsun Xu followed up with Xu You's words and started a new topic, it was good that they were talking about food, but if they were talking about women in front of everyone, it would inevitably make Zhang Yan and the others feel that he was being overly frivolous.

"Oh? Was the young duke's words true? If I have the chance, I want to meet the wife of the Japan. It must be fun to tame his! "

"This matter is easy to deal with. I have a group of Japanese s under my command.

"Thank you, young duke, I will definitely look forward to it!" Xu You winked at him, as he understood the expression on his face.

Gongsun Xu laughed, Yang Feng also laughed, but Zhang Yan and Bai Rao remained expressionless as if they did not hear anything.

Tao Sheng had been drinking with his head down the entire time, and his complexion was getting worse and worse. He was also getting more and more dissatisfied with Xu You. When he heard this, he finally couldn't hold it in anymore and took the opportunity to choke on his wine to cough.

Xu You saw that Tao Sheng had suddenly woken up. He also knew about the collusion between Yuan Shao and Tao Sheng, and he couldn't help but regret his arrogance a little. If Tao Sheng had exaggerated Yuan Shao's words, even if he did not lose Yuan Shao's trust, he would have been scolded. Following him was obviously more promising than following him, as he would need to make a contribution in order to get more benefits from him. If he lost Yuan Shao's trust, wouldn't he have lost the chance to 'work'?

Xu You quickly stood up when he thought of this, and cupped his hands towards Gongsun Xu: "I never thought that the Little Marquis would actually be so proficient in the matters of wind and moon, and almost caused this old man to forget my proper business. This old man came here on Yuan Shijun's orders to deliver a letter to Marquis Jin and a letter to General Zhang. As he said that, he took out a letter from his sleeve and proudly threw it at Gongsun Xu.

This action was extremely rude, adding on Xu You's arrogant smile, it showed that he did not take Gongsun Xu seriously at all.

Gongsun Xu was enraged, he slapped the letter on the table, then suddenly stood up and shouted: Xu Ziyuan, you dare be so rude?

Shan Meng unsheathed his blade, he glared at Xu You and waited for Gongsun Xu's orders to kill this arrogant disciple who looked down upon everyone.

Tao Sheng's brows immediately relaxed. He bet all his wealth onto Yuan Shao, and was eager for Yuan Shao to quickly become a hegemon. He was extremely disgusted with Xu You's unorthodox methods, and even worried that Xu You and Gongsun Xu might have ulterior motives towards him. Now that he saw that Xu Ziyuan was indeed like the rumors, once he got carried away, he would not care about anything else, and the reason why he was happily chatting with Gongsun Xu just now was probably because he found something interesting.

Xu You faced Shan Meng's blade fearlessly, and said coldly: "The You father and son are great enemies with Yuan Shijun, even though this old man has been playful and disrespectful at times, but have always been strict in his stance regarding matters of great importance! Since I'm an enemy, why should I be polite? I am willing to be chopped by you, in the name of loyalty, and at the same time show the world Ji Houfuzi's brutal actions! "

"Old man, if it wasn't for the fact that you are Yuan Shao's messenger, I would definitely have your head smashed into the ground today!" Gongsun Xu pondered for a while, gritted his teeth, pointed at Xu You and cursed, then waved his hand to tell Shan Meng to keep his blade.

Shan Meng was reluctant to sheathe his blade, but he still glared at Xu You.

Xu You sighed, and seemed to shake his head in disappointment.

Gongsun Xu snorted in anger, turned around and sat down, not bothering with Xu You anymore.

Zhang Yan shouted: "Xu Ziyuan, where is the letter that Yuan Shao has given this old man? Send a letter and quickly leave Hejian County. People like you are not welcome here! "

"Is this how the General Zhang treats its guests?" Xu You rolled his eyes, and laughed disdainfully: "As expected, seeing is seeing is seeing is seeing! This old man is a guest from afar, it is already late, could it be that the General Zhang wants to drive the guests to sleep in the wilderness? " After saying that, he took out a letter from his sleeve, walked over to Zhang Yan and placed it on the table. Within a few days, the news of the north of the river would definitely spread throughout the General Zhang's' way of entertaining guests'! "Farewell!"

"Hold on!" Although Zhang Yan felt disgusted from eating it, he still called out to Xu You. If he was allowed to go back and speak, he would definitely ruin his own reputation.

Xu You turned around and said coldly, "Does General Zhang still have anything else to say?"

"Pinghan!" Zhang Yan called Tao Sheng, and waved his hand as if he was swatting flies: "Take Xu Ziyuan to rest, tomorrow morning, send him out of the city!"

"Here!" Tao Sheng was ecstatic, but his face revealed an extremely angry and angry look, and he walked to Xu You and coldly shouted: "Xu Ziyuan, follow me down."

"Haha" Xu You laughed to the sky, then cupped his hands in a perfunctory manner and walked out of the hall along with Tao Sheng.

Just as Xu You left, Zhang Yan scolded: "This damned old man! What a piece of meat! "

Yang Feng advised: "General does not need to be angry, just ignore them."

Zhang Yan let out a stuffy groan, and casually opened Yuan Shao's letter. After looking at it for a bit, he passed it to Gongsun Xu, "Nephew, take a look at it too."

When Gongsun Xu took a look at it, the contents of the letter were exactly as he had imagined. It was basically belittling both his father and son, persuading Zhang Yan to submit to him. Zhang Yan took the initiative to show such a letter to Gongsun Xu to show that he didn't have any ulterior motives.

Gongsun Xu threw down the letter, and laughed: "Yuan Shao used such a simple method to get away from us, do we really think that we are stupid people?!"

Zhang Yan laughed and shook his head: "To Yuan Shao, this is better than nothing! Nephew, after being played by that old fool, Xu Ziyuan, this old man no longer has the mood to drink, why not send Nephew over to the army camp to settle down? "

"That's good too. Sorry for troubling you, uncle."

"Nephew, no need to be so polite."

As he was walking out of the hall, Zhang Yan gave Bai Rao a meaningful glance, and Bai Rao took the chance to quickly leave.

Yang Feng also said that he wanted to go to the city gate to patrol, and brought along the guards to look after himself.

Zhang Yan brought Gongsun Xu and walked towards the military camp that was a thousand steps away from the prefectural governor's mansion.

After the Army of Heishan had settled in Bo Ling, this city that had a circumference of over forty li, was just like the Ji County. It had practically become a large military camp. The Xiao Qinghe that was flowing around the west side of the city was a natural barrier, so most of the Army of Heishan's families were stationed at the west side of the city, while the tens of thousands of capable soldiers were stationed at the other three sides.

There were two military camps built around Jizhou s in the south of the city. brought them to the eastern military camp to settle down there. Right now, the Hejian County was in a bad mood, both of them were busy fixing walls and building houses, so these two military camps were very simple and crude, the fences on the sides were very sparse, and the watchtowers behind the gates were also hastily constructed. Other than the thousand odd wooden houses and hundreds of dilapidated tents, there was nothing else.

Gongsun Xu stood at the entrance of the army camp, habitually pondering how to break into the army camp. But after just a glance, he had lost all interest.

Zhang Yan, who was standing at the side, laughed: "Since Nephew insists on sharing the suffering with your subordinates, this old man will not insist on letting you stay in the prefectural governor's mansion. This old man will get someone to send some gifts over later."

Gongsun Xu bowed and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Uncle."

"A trivial matter like this is not worth mentioning." Zhang Yan waved his hand and pointed to the army camp on the other side of prefectural governor's mansion. "That army camp has thirty thousand elite soldiers under Du Chang's command."

Gongsun Xu nodded in understanding. Du Chang was his trusted general that he trusted the most, so the army encampment should be Zhang Yan's army.

"This old man will also go and inspect the city walls. If nephew has any matters, he can go to the prefectural governor's mansion and look for this old man." Zhang Yan smiled and said, then led the group of guards to the city wall.

After Gongsun Xu walked through the door, he instructed Shan Meng in a low voice: "Stay at the door tonight, if Xu You comes, bring him in quietly."

Shan Meng was extremely shocked, and slowly nodded his head.
